Hegel’s theorem. Any DEAD, permanent, and METAPHYSICAL category is a PRIVATE PROP-
ERTY (metaphysical).

All METAPHYSICS is private property.
Left-wing intellectuals are fighting for a socialist state. They all angrily denounce capitalism: “We
will destroy private property”.
But they do not understand that all positions: a general secretary, a secretary, and a director are real
private property, which Marx bequeathed to destroy.

Socialist money, the permanent division of LABOUR under socialism, and the permanent manage-
ment system are also private property. Since all these categories are RIGID, PERMANENT, DEAD

– they are metaphysical.
Millions of left-wing theorists of the socialist state are not able to study at least one theory of Hegel.
They are dead in the political economy. They are a clear proof that the epoch of socialism has gone
down in history.
Engels: “The state is the private property of the bureaucracy”.
The entire state is the private property of individuals. The state was born as the private property of
lords or princes.
Results. Hegel’s theorem. Any metaphysical dead category is private property. And so it must be
destroyed. A living dialectical category will be born in its place.
The Hegel’s definition has the highest level of abstractness. There is nothing higher than Hegel. All
categories of Hegel in dozens of his books also have the highest level of abstractness.
Do you realize the cosmic dimensions of Hegel’s brain? Hegel is literally the new THOR.

The authors made a different decision. They described Hegel’s theory from a position of even
greater idealism. Two extremes converged.
The Mother Goddess was born when primitive communes appeared.

194 194
After her birth, a great victory came to the primitive communes. The children stopped dying.

Productivity of labour increased. It was much funnier to live in a commune. The number of com-
munes grew. And who gave birth? The Mother Goddess did.

Faith in the Great Mother Goddess is faith in the power of the primitive Commune.

Therefore, the Great Mother Goddess is the personification of the primitive Commune. And we de-
cided to use her image to develop a theory of the Global Commune.

Example. In Slavic mythology, there is a goddess named MATI SYRA ZEMLYA (Earth Mother).
There was a custom after giving birth to take the child to the field, put it on the ground and say:
“Mother Goddess, it is your child. Look how beautiful he is”.

Women believed that the Goddess gave birth to the child, through their body, or they gave birth to-
gether. Thus, the child had two mothers: one is the Great Mother Goddess, and the other is his

mother Tanya. And Tanya was also the daughter of the Great Goddess.

Karl Marx. Political economic nationalization of children. Why? Because all children are the chil-
dren of the Great Goddess, in other words, the nation.

And communism is the return of children to their mother – the Mother Goddess.
Communism will win, and the children will return to the first and Great Mother. And then the
Mother Goddess will tell her daughter Tanya: “Have a rest, daughter. I’ll take care of our baby”.
The commune will support its children as the Great Mother. Under communism, mother Tanya will
have a rest. The whole theory of communism of the authors is presented as a RETURN to the
MOTHER, the Great Mother Goddess.
And the Great Mother Goddess will definitely return with the SECOND COMING. She will.

Vietnam war even more messy on the ideological warfare since it seems the north was a lot more more brutal to the south than what it seemed compared to Korea. That's just me watching a couple video docs recently.

I just love these hyperspecific memes that are presumably the result of a singular real-life conversation

@krishna_bound Since this is basically the Communist Fam Chat Thread to a certain extent, I would like to ask you something that I once read but cannot find since the search function of this website is ass and I don't wanna bother with Google-Fu now.

My question is about insomnia. I don't suffer it myself, but there is a girl who has insomnia and takes sleeping pills and melatonin. You wrote an interesting post on how you overcame insomnia that I can't find anymore. Something about CBT? I'd like to help this girl. I remember you saying that pills are not a sufficient solution

i should prob mirror this to life sxn somewhere as its probably gonna help a lot of people since i know its a common struggle

while this might sound obvious, arguably the most important thing is setting and following strict deadlines for getting up and going to bed even when you can't sleep (or when you're tired in the morning to get up) - incremental bedtimes will never work outside of a sleep deprivation therapy schedules; you shouldn't decide to do SRT though, that should be up to a professional as its very unhealthy otherwise,
in general anything you do will always lack compared to forcing yourself to get up at the projected time even if you're tired. You should also have a 1 hour decompression period before bed usually - doing really nothing "active"; passively watching stuff is fine but do not like sit on your phone in bed. Likewise, you have to force yourself to get up and to bed at the same time regularly until it becomes habitual, and only then can you kind of divulge or branch out into other schedules. Getting up at the same time (preferably early) no matter what really helps a lot. The unfortunate truth is that sleep is based on strict internal clock schedules - you need to set a specific time and ACTIVELY follow it. Like you can only divulge from this I'm talking like maybe 1 or 2 a month or when traveling. I know this is hard because people want to do stuff on weekends but until you actively have a STRICT schedule down you are regularly adhering to, you will NOT be able to fill your sleep.
If you need to take supplements, I recommend Apigenin (any dosage) & 300mcg Melatonin (both are natural and healthy - melatonin is fine but you should try to keep it around 300mcg, not the very high dosages you may see online). Herbal supplements like passionflowers, chamimile, etc. are mostly bullshit - they're "relaxants" but they aren't sedatives. Similarly, sedatives DO NOT make you sleep. They make your body think you're sleeping. This is why things like Ativan or Ambien are so dangerous - that lack of "real" sleep WILL catch up to you. However, In the short term if you have severe troubles sleeping, just absolutely can't, you can take antihistemines in low dosages. This should not be a nightly thing and should only be done in "training" periods sparsely where you absolutely cannot sleep.
Also, importantly, this is for most people - sometimes if you roll around a lot at night, you'd be surprised how changing your position can help (like, it might sound stupid, but literally just taking a pillow and blanket and sleeping on the floor or at a difference angle on your bed). Muscle memory is important and sometimes your body associates a bed with wakefulness from repeated insomnia. That's also why strict deadlines matters so much. Your body will literally remember where you can/can't sleep over time.
Alternatively, if you have like really severe insomnia, check your vitamin intake; for example, make sure you don't have deficiencies of magnesium. magnesium deficiency is a common issue which causes severe insomnia which can have other consequences too. taking magnesium 1-2 hours before bed can help at times.similarly however, over-exposure to supplements can cause severe issues; taking zinc or magnesium glycinate when you do not have deficiencies is a known cause of multi-day insomnia.

Past simple practices or intakes, as mentioned above, SRT & CBT-I work well but are really, really hard - they are purposefully VERY challenging and are not fun to go through. If you feel like s*** for the first like 2-3 weeks that basically means it's working, you just have to keep doing it - it definitely works but you have to really stick with it or else it loses its point. In reality you can only fix insomnia with behavioral practice. CBT-I is generally most recommended; this is a pattern of treating sleep in a certain manner and regularly practicing certain behaviors until you can safely associate sleep with certain times of night. SRT is a more extreme version of CBT-I, but it's very dangerous day to day unless you're being tracked by a professional as its literally sleep deprivation.

In general, some other notes:
-contrary to popular belief, cutting caffeine altogether doesn't fix or help sleep but not having as much definitely can help a tiny bit. like obviously just doing stupid things like drinking soda before bed or something will affect sleep. drinking caffeinated drinks in general does not make a difference otherwise.
-screen time stuff is a mixed situation; there are a lot of rumors here that aren't fully true. Concepts like the "blue light" sensitivity are by and far simply not true. Screen time itself in a vacuum doesn't affect anything, but engagement does. You shouldn't be doing anything like working, reading, scrolling, or playing games (or browsing the internet) for 1-1.5 hours minimum before bed. this is really important; you need like 1-2 hours to basically unwind before bed and not be engaged with anything - like literally ANYTHING. Only passive engagement is fine - like watching things. You can ease into more things over time, but while you're actively trying to overcome insomnia, you HAVE to deal with doing nothing. You should never use your phone in bed. set a strict time cutoff - do NOTHING after this time except a routine schedule of finishing up chores (i.e. dishes, showering, etc.) and then just watch stuff on youtube or netflix or whatever until you go to bed. this is a huge part of CBT-I as well - only deviate from this schedule once your sleep is basically comfortably fixed. do NOT deviate otherwise. you HAVE to make sacrifices socially and entertainment wise until you can sleep again.
-again, do not use your phone in bed or after a set time limit like no matter what unless it is a legit emergency. this is incredibly serious because its related to the engagement thing. like do NOT engage with anything before bed. you cannot have anything your mind could hook onto. If you need further help here, put your phone in black & white either permanently or each day past a certain point.
-as per CBT-I rules, if you cannot fall asleep, do not just lay there (try in segments of roughly 30-90 minutes; this is something which you have to find your own sweet spot on) - get up and do something for 15-30 minutes then come back and sleep.
-again, supplements like melatonin wont fix insomnia but they can at least help with being a general relaxant or in the very least a mental placebo if done on a regular basis to train your body to know it's a "sign" you should go to bed. since low-dose melatonin and most herbal based teas have no bad side effects, it doesn't hurt to take these maybe 1-2 hours before bed after you cut off engagement.
-while tea itself wont make you fall asleep and anyone who says so is just lying, one good thing about tea (and hot showers similarly) is body temperature. your body temperature needs to actually fall before you can go to sleep. this means you can make it easier by having a hot shower followed by 1-2 cups of hot herbal teas (maybe while watching TV), then followed by going to bed. as your body temperature rises then falls from the hot tea/hot shower, this will actually cause you to get more tired than usual and will facilitate your bodys passover to sleep
-lastly among other things. For some people, getting a heavy blanket or a weighted blanket (get one with cooling beads if possible) helps significantly because it is hard to focus on either a body part's rhythm (I.e. a loud heartbeat or a ringing from tinnitus) when you have a heavy object on top of you.
-For some people, sleeping on the floor on a makeshift futon with a blanket and pillows lets them sleep way better than using a bed - according to psychiatrists there's a few reasons for this which are theorized, but some include bodily/muscle memory association of a mattress with insomnia, as well as being lower to the ground helping with cooling/body temperature.
-one last thing many people don't know, but probably should about is something called Sleep Misperception. This is something that still is insanely common for recovering insomniacs. Sleep Misperception is when you think you have been awake for a long time or constantly, but actually have been asleep - and not just "lightly" sleep, but even been through a full REM phase but think you haven't slept at all. This can really disorienting or even scary, but is something you should recognize in advance. Sometimes you can ward this off by remembering a dream (and thus knowing you slept) or even just time deduction ("have I really been laying here awake for like 5 hour straight?") - thus the more you can dream through things like sleeping on the floor or using melatonin (which for many causes dreams), the better here, because dreams are a huge means of rectifying when this happens
-lastly, one thing people should be aware of is the presence of disturbing or intrusive thoughts. "engagement" for sleeping is an internal process as well. you should never actively try to "stop" certain thoughts if you're falling asleep. You have to passively fixate on thoughts you have w/o active engagement - if you are remembering or thinking bad thoughts at night, you have to let yourself have those thoughts. don't actively "stare" at the back of your eyelids. Just let yourself think without engaging your thoughts. At one point you'll pass over into REM stages.

as a personal anecdote, just also as some other things, when i was going through fixing insomnia my first 1-1.5 months during SRT & CBT-I, I wasn't able to sleep through the night. I would wake up like 4-7 times a night either after every hour, or just regularly. this is normal and a part of the recovery process - usually what follows this is then when the Sleep Misperception can kick in. also you should set a hard time at night to take actual medication by - something like "if i'm not asleep by 3am, i'll take antihistamine/sedative/etc" - this mentally helps with training your brain to think it should be asleep by a certain time and also just phsyically sets a dismissive schedule so you know when you actually need medication vs when it just begins as a "bad night"
