Hello friends of Communism! I hope to contribute to this community and have fun sharing articles, pics, and videos with like-minded independent thinkers.
After having read in the open areas of this forum for quite a while, I wanted to join and be a part of your community. I am a European in the mid twenties and looking forward to get in contact with marxist people from all over the world. In my country, it is hard to express positive feelings for communism, the benking elite and especially class issues. If you do, you are classified as a lunatic within seconds and isolated from society as an evil outsider. This affects not only your social life, but also your profession. To put it into simple words: I am sick of it! The situation in my country is getting worse day by day, injustice and violence is increasing, old people get lost in this so called welfare system (but therefore millions of Euros are spend on banks), the quality of the school education is reaching a low level status more and more (children are lied to about history and present), openly talking about politics is only possible if you are taking capitalist views and the worst thing, the people seem to like all this. You see people looking in garbage bins for food, getting in short time jobs where they are exploited, right-wing populism seems to have become the new religion to some people, a life without alcohol (or at least reduced to a minimum) is for many not imaginable, drugs become more famous (of course, if every street corner in the bigger cities has its own drug dealer) and so on. This all may sound as I am polemizing, but for a lot of people here, this already has become the truth/reality. My intention to register here on Soviet Empire is to getting to know likeminded people who understand my anger and fear and who share the same love and passion for marxism, their people and their society. We need to unite all over the world to share experiences, views and keep together against the enemies who want to destroy all our ancestors have fought and died for. The future of our children is worth to take all the effort we can! I hope you do not mind me making some mistakes by writing English; I am not a native speaker so it might not be perfect. But I do my best! The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

Welcome to Soviet Empire!
Are you a former Ossi? Don't worry about your English, there are plenty of people from all over the world here. Miss Strangelove: "You feed giants laxatives so goblins can mine their poop before the gnomes get to it."
Welcome to the board. Unfortunately there's a general emptiness around this board now, so I hope you won't be too disappointed by the lack of activity.
You can usually find a comrade or two in Cafe Mir though. Now what is this…
Welcome comrade welcome!

Many of my favourite parks and monuments that represented the many great aspects and heroes of our socialist cause have either been destroyed or renamed. They're even trying now to rename entire cities that were built on the backs of socialist labour. We should remain strong regardless, just remember the sacrifices and the immense hardships that many of our comrades had to overcome during the Russian civil war, the Great Patriotic War, the Chinese civil war, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and all the other countless conflicts. Quote: For the entirety of my adult life, I've had an intense dislike towards bankers. Two years ago I had a meeting with a wealthy bank manager; after having concluded the meeting, shaking his hand and walking out of his office, I went into the toilet-room and washed my hands twice. True story. Never in my life have I been cheated over by anyone as much as by bankers and it continues to this day. I've worked with bankers in at least six different countries on four continents and they're all the same bunch of spineless bastards. Give a criminal a gun and he'll rob a bank. Give a criminal a bank and he'll rob the world. Quote: Well said comrade. Quote: Don't worry about that comrade, you speak well. Quote: Once again I sympathise and I recommend you read Kahlil Gibran's The Madman. It is one of the greatest literary pieces of the twentieth century. It is very short and is written in the simplest English; but has also been translated into every major European language.

Thank you comrades for your warm welcome!
Yes I was born in the former GDR near the border to the capitalist regime, which sadly annexed our great socialist nation not long after my birth. When I talk with my parents, they never say a bad thing about socialism. Everybody had safe and good jobs, were not exploited and had not to worry about the rent or their pension. Now in the so called free west, all the workers are being exploited by the government and only money is worshipped, not the human individual. I am a member of the Left Party (Die Linke) and am active in its communist platform, as I think that Marxism is the way of the future and want to learn more about it and how it can implemented in a capitalist society. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

I'm really pleased to hear your thoughts and hopes OnFire.
I agree wholeheartedly! @Yeqon: Thank you for opening my awareness to Kahlil Gibran. "A shiny bauble from Capitalism is worthless when the cost is Children & the Elderly going hungry, The Infirm & Sick dying because of Greed & Education reduced to a token few to placate the masses with Illusions of freedom."

He took inspiration from the works of William Blake but I prefer Gibran's writings more, while on the other hand I think Blake's paintings were better. His work is emotionally uplifting and very deep. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu. I've been to to his family's house where he was born. Some of the pottery in that one roomed house are still standing untouched. In the Gibran museum his original paintings are all spread out through a very long tunnel that had been carved into a mountain side. You walk the tunnel looking at his paintings and in the middle you reach a water sprout from within the mountain where you can refresh yourself. At the end of the tunnel is his final resting place, where his original furniture including the desk he wrote his poems on and the easel upon which he painted his canvases are on display. At last his coffin lies there with the words he requested be written on his grave: "Comrade, I am alive. I am standing beside you right now. If you wish to see me just close your eyes and look around, and I will be there in front of you." ![]() The great art of life is sensation, to feel that you exist, even in pain. |
