PSL party program pt. 1

https://on.soundcloud.com/Jf4BFXrp3au4AGy78

PSL is a vanguard party to lead the transition from capitalism to socialism

Housing is a human right; your home shouldn’t be owned by someone else; eliminate landlordism

Climate change: we need to switch to renewable energies, but the capitalist class has an interest in maintaining gas and coal; the American military is the largest contributor to climate change, thus we must eliminate it if we truly want to fight against climate change

Government intervention in the economy: the 2008 financial crisis, and the resulting Wall Street bail out, clearly demonstrated that our capitalist economy depends on government assistance. Instead of bankrolling ceos, the government should intervene in the economy on behalf of the working class. Banks should be state-owned.

Community safety: we need to dismantle the police state and set up community orgs to keep our neighborhoods safe

Dialectical Materialism-

https://youtu.be/bGPSKZgFH70?si=kYXafU_gjLnoz4Ca

Materialism: hard reality/ material conditions shape our ideas/ human thought

Idealism: our ideas (religion, culture) shape our material conditions

Philosophical debates center on which shapes the other; the material or the ideal?

Dialectics: dialogue, interaction; Hegel believed idealism comes first, but he understood back and forth relationship between ideal and material

Historical materialism: applying dialectical materialism to our understanding of history; how do hard economic realities shape how people thinks; and how do the ways we think impact how our economic realities

Marx subscribed to dialectical materialism; he believed material conditions were the primary shaper between itself and ideas, but he differentiated this from mechanical materialism; ideas still shape material conditions, but ideas are primarily shaped rather than shaper; it’s a dialectical relationship

Tariffs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIhO4AJ1ZBY 

High tariffs are historically accompanied by extreme wealth gains for the capitalist class

High tariffs may promote the rebirth of domestic manufacturing, but those job/salary gains are offset by an increase in consumer prices

Tariffs artificially inflate the prices of foreign products, and reduce competition for domestic producers, allowing them to jack up prices in turn

Conversely, free trade (ex. NAFTA), destroys domestic manufacturing and enables American companies to offshore manufacturing and pay foreign workers a fraction of what they would have to pay American workers, increasing corporate profits

If Trump was serious about promoting American industry and helping the working class, he would use our tax dollars to fund factory-building, but instead, he wants to cut taxes for the 1%

Trumps wants to use tariffs to fund the gov’t so he can eliminate the progressive income tax

青春有你2 (Youth With You) Vocab

Has anyone else been watching 青春有你? I’ve been watching it for both entertainment and listening practice. I think it’s already helped improve my listening a lot!

Here are some common words on the show that I’ve compiled:

舞台 wǔtái - stage (based on my observations, they seems to use this to refer to the physical stage but also in a more abstract way to talk about a performance) 位置 wèizhi - position, place, seat (I’ve seen this used for a physical spot but also more abstractly when talking about rankings) 训练生 xùnliànshēng - trainee (I have also seen 练习生 used) 舞蹈 wǔdǎo - dance, dancing 导师 dǎoshī - tutor, teacher (this is what they call the mentors, aka Ella, Lisa, and Jony J)

The king and his kingmaker

Happy birthday, Richard!

I worked on this painting on and off for three months since I want to portray the characters' relationships well for this series that I love so much. I also don't usually focus on darker color, so this was a challenge! But I'm glad to finish it, and I hope you like it too.

Aneurin Barnard as Richard III THE WHITE QUEEN (2013)

What a sweet and powerful gesture. It's frustrating when people say "what do you expect them to do? they're entertainers not activists!" look at how simple this gesture of solidarity is and how resonant it is! This is wonderful.

The Yorkist Orphans 

Margaret Pole, 8th Countess of Salisbury (b. 14 August 1473) and Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick (b. 25 February 1475) were the surviving children of George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence and his wife Isabel Neville, daughter of ‘the Kingmaker’ Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick. 

Their mother Isabel, died on 22 December 1476 at the age of 25, of either consumption or childbed fever. In response, their father had two servants killed, who he thought had poisoned her. On 18th February 1478 at the age of 28, their father George, was executed for treason against his own brother, Edward IV  and thus his lands and titles were forfeited. When Henry Tudor succeeded as Henry VII in 1485, he married their cousin Elizabeth of York and they were taken into their care. However, as Plantagenets and of tarnished Yorkist lineage, they were perceived as threats to the Tudor dynasty. In 1499, at the age of 24, Edward was executed for involvement in the plot to escape the Tower of London with Perkin Warbeck, who had impersonated Edward IV’s presumed-dead son Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York. 

Margaret would outlive her mother, father and siblings. She was also one of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty after the War of the Roses. However, in May 1539, an act of attainder was passed against herfor aiding and abetting her sons Henry and Reginald Pole and having ‘committed and perpetrated diverse and sundry other detestable and abominable treasons’. On 27 May 1541, Margaret, the Plantagenet heiress, was executed at the Tower of London. Just as her father and brother had been before her.
