leftpol, happy valentines
This Valentine's Day, remember that if your partner expects you to show your appreciation for them by buying into consumerist marketing tactics meant to sell shitty chocolate and dying flowers they aren't the one.

That said, fuck i love my girlfriends so fucking much theyre all so cute and loving and kind and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (u know who you are cuties. ily. happy valentines. amerikkka delenda est)

also, oth*llo is kinda racist, even for its era. from what i hear
@thufie is doggirl and you should pet her

In a counter-attack by the Mexican army, the guerrillas lost control of many towns and cities and retreated into the Lacandon jungle. Subsequently the Zapatistas established a number of self-governing autonomous communities, with a population of over 300,000 people. Other than personal property, private ownership was abolished, with collective ownership of land and collectively owned and run workplaces. Radical, democratic schools, where pupils are not graded, were established, as was a universal healthcare service, drastically improving public health and reducing infant mortality. The communities also have a strong commitment to Indigenous, women's and LGBT+ rights. ..."
