It took a lot less than what is happening in Gaza for the ICC to issue a warrant against Putin.
Here in Brazil it has been a very, very hot summer. Literally hitting 50°C on some street thermometers during a heat wave.
Search "The long march chinese movie" on Youtube. You'll find a few.
I watched a few minutes of one such movies, but the movie felt too different from what I am accustumed to so I stopped watching it.

The sources are linked in lemmygrad, but they are from outside lemmygrad.
Also, there is no neutral information in the world, all information has parts omitted (for many possible reasons), has parts that may be distorted because of the bias of the primary sources, or has other biases that you must take into account when reading it.
If you only read information from one side you will only get the biases of that side, and won't be able to understand reality. Most principled communists who study history do not use only pro-communist sources, they actually use mostly anti-communist sources (because, guess what, most historians with resources to do research are american or western european, and literally can't publish pro-soviet or pro-chinese books in well-acclaimed presses) and then they filter out most of the biases (but not all, because that is literally impossible) by using primary sources or translations of primary sources, in case the primary sources aren't in a language they know.
I'm not saying you must read literal nazi books and take their word for it, for example. What I am saying is that if you want to research 19th century India, for example, you must read from at least most of the different perspectives, always questioning yourself about the sources like this:
- Which biases does this source have?
- How can these biases affect the information I am reading?
- Which other perspectives can I use to understand this information?
- Is this source reliable? (have they been caught lying?)
If you can't even do this, you really won't understand history.
Also, what is considered "neutral" at any point in time is what the ruling classes consider to be beneficial to them. If you could talk to the average white person of mid 19th century southern USA about slavery, they would tell you that news articles criticizing abolitionists and promoting slavery were "neutral". The same applies to current times.
You do not know what fascism is. You do not know what communism is. Go read a book before you argue online, it is good for you.
I know that you did not read anything because of your mention of Tiananmen Square. You did not do any investigation on the subject nor did you read someone else's investigation into the subject. You just took the propaganda as truth and ran with it.
If you want to actually learn about communism, fascism, the USSR, China, Tiananmen Square, etc. you can just use the search function of lemmygrad. You'll find many resources to learn.
(or you can just continue helping the fascists by regurgitating propaganda, do whatever you want, I won't force you)
Do you even know what you are talking about?
The USSR was a state controlled by the workers, while the Russian Federation is a state controlled by the russian capitalists.
Putin distorts the history of the USSR every time he speaks about it. He wants russians to think that Russia was "a glorious empire that almost beat the West", not a country led by the working class that gave hope to billions of people worldwide.
I mean, Russia is fashy, but they are way less fashy than their enemies (The West).
edit: Also, this guy (Kings and Generals) is probably fash as well and is trying to make the West seem less fashy by exagerating Putin's fashyness.

That's TikTok, from a private corporation. They do not represent the CPC or the Chinese Government.
I mean, I do not know if EVs are as bad to the environment as regular gasoline-powered vehicles, but I do know that they won't fix the problem of the environmental devastation caused by car culture since they still run on energy made from gas and coal plants and they are still as inefficient in transporting people as regular vehicles.
I know that it will be very difficult to substitute cars for public transit. Actually, public transit will never fully substitute cars since there will always be places that are too far away for trains, trolleys, and other forms of public transit to reach. Also, ambulances, police cars, and firefighter trucks should never be substituted by public transit, since they need speed and versatility more than anything. But for most people, public transit could be insanely attractive if enough investment was put into it. Most people go through the same few paths every day, and even then, they almost always go at the same time every day.
I suggest that cities go substituting cars for public transit in small batches by building infrastructure and changing urban development laws in key places and then expanding to the rest of the city.
edit: Oh, and by the way, here in Brazil EVs are literally just dumb. Although Brazil is mostly run by clean hydrelectric energy, which would be very nice for EV development, we also have lots of sugarcane farms producing sugar and ethanol. Ethanol is widely used here as a biofuel, and there is a dynamic between sugar prices and ethanol prices, where low sugar prices make ethanol a more lucrative business, thus making the agribusiness produce more ethanol, and vice-versa. So, if we just put lots of taxes on sugar and make it less profitable, or we subsidize ethanol, we could make people use ethanol instead of gasoline, and then we would have a near carbon neutral fleet of cars without having to transition to electric.
(public transit is still better, though)
Finland was never communist though. When the Russian Empire became the Soviet Union, the Finnish government asked to secede, and Stalin (who was minister for nationalities) convinced everyone to let them have independence. Finland then became independent without a fight.
Even after the winter war Finland never became communist.
when you are so anglo that you can't even read numbers with a different separator.
This would be great to power small villages and outposts in Siberia.
