“Red is the first color of the rainbow” - Pro-Filipino Maoist and pro-LGBTQ poster circa 2019, and cited as by Emiliana Kampilan.

My landlord just said I’m not allowed to keep more than 10 books in my apartment because of fire code shit, is this even a thing????? Being made to figure out what to do with 95% of my home library under threat of serving an eviction
@Dienne_7
There’s nothing like that in the lease agreement from the last I read it, & I’ve had my home library in here for years; v confused why I’m being effectively gaslit by the landlord. Def need to speak to counsel, just in an area which very much favors landlords over tenants.
@BichonSnuggles
@Chano19521
He came in & just started ranting about how the fire inspectors are super strict when he was just supposed to be here to give me AC remote, then he fixated the books & ranted about that & that he’ll be “coming back multiple times” before the inspection to make sure I’m complying
@Diane6328775507
This guy is 100% being paranoid seeing as this current round of inspections is the result of him failing the last property inspection (entirely because of things he didn’t do for the property, not stuff to do w the tenants). He’s raving about how “we’re gonna get redtagged”

Maoism (MLM) is the modern current of Marxism capable of mobilizing liberation struggles in the global south. No amount of “the Maoists are white westerners” slander erases their class struggle.
@BichonSnuggles
@Chano19521
Definitely asking for a copy of the fire code as well so I’m “in compliance”. Thank you for your messages and advice, it’s given me a good starting point to figure out wtf is going on because he’s managed to scare the entire complex today w similar suspect wordings
Yes, this is productive labor. Please for the love of god stop misreading Marx’s description of “unproductive labor” to justify hating service workers.
@Dienne_7
Will definitely be asking to see the specific documentation for the fire code as this landlord is saying multiple things that don’t make sense with regards to “code” in addition to the shit about my library.
Update so far for those curious: in the midst of getting the proper info from the fire marshal and waiting for a callback after calling a couple county phone # s about this. So far: nobody in the county that I’ve had contact with has heard of anything like the book bs before.
The callback is to get 100% assurance re: specifics so I have proper info in case there’s something obscure. Also in process of getting counsel on this, just taking a bit due to way more people needing legal advice than there are lawyers willing to work for free in the county.
@ImperialTre
I need to figure out talking to counsel re: this. Landlord got the city called on him for the buildings not being up to code & after “renovations” immediately hit me w the bs that the books “need to be permanently removed even if shelved” before fire inspector comes in 2 weeks
FOR THOSE THAT CANT BE BOTHERED TO SEE THE OTHER REPLY ON THIS SHITPOST:
It’s a photo shoot of “Japan” who happen to have 4 members. The Gang of Four I’m referring to in the joke is the Maoist group, not “Damaged Goods” Go4.
Y’all quote tweet and reply before reading anything
@ImperialTre
USA; Landlord neglected proper property maintenance for 10 or so years, had the city drop on him after former tenants told the city, suddenly had to hustle the last 4 months of doing shitload renovations to bring his shit to code. Seems he’s put himself in a bad spot wrt the city
@kyberknave
@ImperialTre
He also raised my rent anyways right after the renovations. No good rent protection here. My unit pays the least bc the other tenants have all rotated out by now so I do feel that he’s been low key on my ass so I leave

@DingDangDoohoo
It’s a lie. Dudes been saying a whole bunch of random non-rule rules the last few months to force compliance bc he got the city called on him for not being compliant with property code shit. I had a moldy AC in here for years before it was finally removed very recently

Mines $2k for a hotel room sized situation after the new rent raise; this shit is wonderful stuff to be dealing with over the holidays instead of actually relaxing

Bro you gotta post about something besides this furry-libsoc-fatphone-ableism strawman. You have some valid points but you drown it out in the odd syntactical disdain with these chain of posts.
Caleb Maupin deadass blocked me after making a transphobic remark when I sent him the receipts on his past sexual misconduct and general fucking weirdness
@Christiane_ee
This take is in bad faith; one of the most reductive and dogmatic views of lgbtq liberation. You know very well they’re not using rights in the bourgeois conception and you choose to nitpick that shit to dunk on Maoists or whatever your weird reasons are?
Happy 69th anniversary of the attack on Moncada Barracks by Fidel Castro and Co in 1953. The failed attack was used as a catalyst to Fidel’s M-26-7 revolutionary movement which had Fidel, Raul, Che Guevara and 79 others sail back to Cuba after regrouping in Mexico 1955 post-exile

I need one of those old timey bookwheels on god. How else are you supposed to flip between a dozen physical Marxist texts at once for reference in writings?
Liberalism is not for proletarian liberation. It actively engenders alienation, & more specifically reification, which results in situations like this where sexual slavery by bourgeois landlords is trotted up as normalized. Marxists must resolutely oppose this behavior. (1/3)
Labor exploitation in Hollywood is rampant, this latest unionbusting strategy of the big studios/streamers is just the current in a long line of studios (and now streamers) anti-labor actions. Speaking out against abuse of labor is often relegated to being blackballed from work.
The studios and streamers' plan is to reportedly 'break the WGA'
“The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses"

Bruh someone claiming I’m making up the landlord bullshit for pseudointellectual clout is annoying but it’s even more a testament to how insane my landlords request is regarding the book bullshit lmao that “this is is so insane it has to be made up” tbh
Such a shame that the FSLN post-revolution has gradually faced the tide of returning reaction, bringing more misogynistic and capitalistic tendency back which the FSLN originally fought so hard against. Ortega has become more reactionary and conservative as the years go by

Holy shit there’s dozens of us, shoutout to my fellow Deleuzian-Badiouan Maoists. I urge reticent Maoists to become familiar with the work of these French theorists due to how much their thought resonates and compliments standard Maoist ideas.
Honestly one of my biggest beefs with a lot of Marxist orgs has been that in serving the masses or public-facing work they operate as crypto-Marxists, often garnering support by concealing Marxist tendency and ideology.
“The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims.”
On Marx if I see another left anti communist post on here I think I might have an aneurysm. How can self/described Marxists and communists so openly espouse COINTELPRO and other CIA approved talking points as if they’re fact lmao? And its both radlibs and leftcoms falling into it
When I’ve been doing irl organizing for a decade under 3 different communist orgs and adjacent mass orgs but I’m a larper according to

Firmly in love with all the anti-Maoists on Twitter pretending Maoists are largely made up of white people. If you honesty think this in the face of most of the Maoist movement being situated within the global south: do some self-criticism and investigate claims before speaking
