Communist Aid To Captives Of Capitalism 

Hey ADHD is not a dumb excuse. That is a perfectly valid reason. Go easy on yourself!

As someone with ADHD my self I can completely relate to you, I often have a hard time even just reading theory because I can’t sit down and focus

Cats love Antonio Gramsci.

God the McCarthyism and regurgitated Red Scare crap is surreal. I used to think the Cold War was fun and I would have loved all the cloak and dagger secrecy and sneaking around as a commie sympathiser. And now that it's happening again, I understand it wasn't like that, I understand the terror and fear, I feel as helpless as the ordinary and maybe somewhat left leaning people then did.

Not sure If it was the same organization, but the Portuguese Communist Party had a similar program called Socorro Vermelho (Red Aid) which helped political prisoners and their families during the fascist Estado Novo dictatorship. Álvaro Cunhal, the secretary general during this period, escaped from prison and went into exile the USSR until the April 25th revolution. It's very possible that the model for the organization came from this soviet program. Thank you for the video

You just being on this platform is so valuable. You have not only inspired me but you have also helped me expand my knowledge and thought process behind the Soviet Union. Your content has inspired me to look deeper into soviet history and it’s people I am continually reminded that they were real and had lives and for that I am extremely grateful. You are an inspiration and the work that you do is not only valuable but also necessary. Much love comrade ❤️

Great stuff and love the cat too, they know what they want! 🥰

Good to see you back!😃

Really love your channel and spreading awareness of these really important parts of socialist history that have been intentionally suppressed. Keep going comrade.

Happy to see you posting again! Support from the Philippines ✊❤️ 🇵🇭

Honestly the absences make it all the more pleasing to see another new video. Great content as always

Thank you very much for the uploads. I always find out interesting niche stuff out about the soviet union from the channel.

Thanks comrade! Rest and eat well!

This is why Russia is still loved in the third world. Of course the west being evil also helps.

I've been acquiring more 1917-1940s RSFSR / USSR stamps and some designs are very interesting. I saw the stamp featured in the thumbnail, a stamp from 1932 celebrating 10y of the MOPR. I still need to get it, along with other examples. Lots of early stamps using the red banner / flag coupled with a dark background is really beautiful. It's very humanizing to have these stamps on letters, these envelopes are sometimes hard to get just because of their age and what they went through. One item I very much want is something used just after the Civil War, where imperial stamps are overprinted with the RSFSR and a hammer and sickle, but these are very ratty and weathered and sometimes quite expensive! Pins and badges can be similar, which I'd hope to get into oneday.

Amazingly explained. Keep up your great work.

I love your work sister. Keep it up, your getting better. And trust me, ADHD mental health, its all legit. Don't beat yourself over it. Small steps..

The Question about the resurgence of that institution never was if it will happen, it is when.

the captions at 9:05 to 9:10 💀💀💀

Love your channel! ADD is hard don't beat yourself up about it!

your videos are always a pleasure to watch, and it's ok to take time and take care of yourself. not in a million years would I prefer daily content in expense for the well-being of who I'm watching. love from Brazil, I hope you and your cat have a great day :D

I'm a big fan, i love your work and judging by the title of the video and the fact that you have no hate comments probably means that a lot of people also appreciate your work. Please keep making great videos.

Your content is most valuable comrade. Your work inspires me to create quality leftist propaganda. In regards to your content, an organization to provide legal defense to leftists across the globe seems invaluable in the modern day. So the history lesson is very appreciated. Take care of yourself! And thanks again.

i love your channel!!❤️❤️

Thank you for your videos. No matter how rare of frequent your uploads are, they are always interesting and intriguing.

2:29 the image of you holding your cat's whole head as you scratch her chin is very endearing

I love your content and your ponint of view about communism history.

I’m glad I found this channel so underrated

Another great video, comrade. How I miss the CCCP(USSR). McCarthyism 2.0 is definitely ramping up again after capitalism-imperialism has been trashing the world for the past 30+ years. The positive is that socialism is making a comeback and we must make sure that we succeed this time around. Workers of all countries, UNITE!

I love our furry comrade! 🐈

Interesting history. Thanks. I hope you feel better.

Lady, thank you for your amazing work. It doesn't matter the frequency, what is important is that the stories you provide us give us hope. Peace be with you!

Burn out happens to the best of us so don’t feel ashamed. Glad to see a video from you and appreciate the work you do.

We will be here for you as long as you are here, Lady!

I had undiagnosed ADHD untill my '60s. Looking back now everthing makes sense. It's hard, but you'll be fine. Love your show!

Yes, plz bring it back. Pleeaaaaseee. I live in the states. I would legit be sketched to teach in the South/midwest. As a prof I also feel like I'd be visible and therefore targeted by any sort of neo-McCarthyism. "Be inspired by history" tho, that's indeed what keeps us going. ✊

My partner is a member of the CPC and we were discussing this just the other day. We're not sure if China leading this would be construed as interfering in the internal political machinations of other nations and we're not sure if this would be counter the explicit goal of non-interference. I would like for this sort of organisation to come into effect again but I think it's complicated. I think that geopolitically we need to build up a base of non-aligned states to the imperial core and that if we press too hard towards explicitly pro-revolutionary stances we risk isolating developing socialist nations. I think we can press incrementally forward but this will take time and we should understand what we are ultimately planning for to be a radical shift in geopolitics.

Always take time to find peace of mind. I share other commenters appreciation for your work here and your positivity with this channel, it's awesome!

Dusya's mrrrp was soo cute

You are a hero of labour for bringing to us all this wonderful and inspiring information. Stay strong and comradely love.

its not about how often you post, its the quality of the post. Good work!

Thank you for yet another video. Take care of yourself, comrade. Sometimes brains do not work indeed.

Random: I saw a Kijiji ad which is, at least in some ways, right in your wheelhouse. It's for a milling machine from 1978...made in UkSSR! I'd like to big that up, but given where it came from, where it was shipped to ("Canada") and where Ukrainian kulaks were shipped to (also "Canada"), I wonder if it was really a way for the pigs to fund Gladio-type operations "back home" on the sly. Anyway, I leave this here for your possible contemplation. The listing is titled "1978 STANKO 6R12 Milling Machine". ✊ It's C$15,000, which I assume is like two hundred bucks US...you can afford that. It's cute! 🎁

thank you for still finding motivation to do these videos I know how hard it can be to get things done with adhd. For me, I hear assalamu alaikum comrades and I know I'm gonna have a good day :)

This time. perhaps, such organizations might be from multipolar coalition--- BRICS, SCO, etc.?

Well first time i heard about it. But with the intensification of class warfare here in France, i fear we will need some kind of organisation like that. In fact, we already need one....

Love your channel, comrade! One suggestion: Whenever you move your microphone too much, there are unpleasant audio artifacts. Those artifacts likely stem from the cable getting knocked around and hitting the floor/an object. You might wanna consider moving it around less, installing it in a fixed position or getting a better XLR cable that is designed with live performances in mind. (Source: am music producer, I have encountered this issue many times before) Also, ADHD is not an "excuse", comrade. It is a real and debilitating disability. I have ADHD too, I get it. Sometimes your brain just won't. Beating yourself up over that is just gonna make you feel worse and won't accomplish anything. Please be kind to yourself and your brain. Glad to have you back! Take care! 🚩🫡✊️

amazing work! keep it up.

Hey, this is a really neat vid! Wish this kind of thing still existed today

I too am struggling with my ADHD and motivation. We totally understand ❤

Thank you, comrade. I hope you are doing well.

Thank you for this video! It's very necessary right now

Excellent video! Thank you, Comrade! ✌🏼🧡✊🏼

Interesting stuff, I wonder how the dynamics behind an organization like MOPR would look like today. I think without a major socialist country like the USSR it could not be very effective.

Thanks for an other great video! And don't worry about the uploads too much, take time for yourself when you need it.

great video, thank you for it

Solidarité

Fucking love this channel

wow, i wonder why it was dissolved? ive absolutely never heard of this before, probably wouldnt have for a long time if you hadnt made the video, so thanks!

I hope the efforts you put into your well-being pay off, Comrade!

Theirs a small town in West Virginia during the Cold War that had the only bridge in town collapse and the state wouldn’t help fund a replacement and was a necessity for the function of the town so after getting fed up being stonedwalled by their “public servants” the townspeople reached out *independently* to the Soviets for genuine Aid and they responded in solidarity and quickly agreed to help out these poor townsfolk and of course once the US government eventually heard about this arrangement they immediately changed course and agreed to fund the construction... political nightmare lol. Very amusing but also much respect for the Soviets showing support. Not a well known story here in the States (no surprise) but a lovely one nonetheless.

thank you for this channel! often when trying to learn more about communism and socialism throughout history gets difficult due to the , sometimes, delibarate misinformation out there. (also, i don't know if you're going to enjoy this but there's a ' only half-joking' song called JESUS! by Micah Tewers. it's a fun communist song. i like to listen to it when i get capitalism burnout to lift my spirits. also, hello comrade cat!)

Upload whenever you want, we totally don't care how long it takes. Being alienated from your work is not a healthy condition, so take all the time you need for yourself, comrade. We understand!

brain stuff is no joke, take all the time you need, comrade!

Gorgeous kitty! 😻😻😻

Sending love ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I've never heard about this organisation before, but I've heard of USSR, the Warsaw pact in general, (and some Western countries) intervening in the workings of the various Greek (semi)Fascist governments for the release of political prisoners, mostly famous artists, composers and poets are the widely known cases. Of course the real power behind these authoritarian regimes was the US. USSR also gave healthcare to people that were in critical condition, that helped the cause and didn't have money for western hospitals (in Greece we didn't have a public healthcare system back then), and they were accepting students in their universities who were "profiled" as Reds and faced discrimination and persecution, again before 1981. I'm pretty certain they helped Third World countries too in these respects. I don't think there will ever be another power that does this, Gorby really messed things up. PS: As I was typing this I remembered a "Red Aid" type group called "National Solidarity" (Εθνική Αλληλεγγύη) active during the Axis Occupation and founded by a Communist Doctor. They were the first mass resistance organisation and eventually joined the National Liberation Front (EAM). I don't think the USSR had anything to do with them though, except being their allies. So was UK/US 😁😂

Based! 2:55 Haha, that was great! Did you actually get her to do that at that moment? 6:51 Yeah, the tasks were almost certainly not completed. The dissolution was probably for similar reasons to the dissolution of the Comintern. The less frequent uploads are absolutely okay! In fact, I remembered what you had previously said when I saw this video in my feed, so this being up itself was really cool! What makes the modern red scare type stuff even worse, and the CPC itself being used as a reason for it - the CPC itself is so beyond revisionist. The bourgeoisie dominates it, and modern China. That being said, China is obviously miles and miles better than the US, of course, just saying. The US is very reactionary overall, but I do think the majority (hopefully vast majority?) are against the conservative/far right DeSantis type stuff. At least, I certainly hope so - . But, as always, attention should certainly be paid to it, and action taken.

You are unique! American muslim woman talking about USSR history and communism in a positive way. You are a treasure! Stay strong on your beliefs, Allah will give you strength and will reward your efforts to spread the light of knowledge. Do this for the sisters! People will always support you for what you are doing :)

No, I didn't heard of it, but I would really want it to stretch it's influence into my country, a place so corrupted by capitalism, I just happened to stumble on communism and love it because of how deeply corrupt my country is, neglecting the wellbeing of my friends and families.

there's firefund, anarchist black cross, plenty of initiatives that grew up around the BLM protests and many other local groups that also cooperate internetionaly to help those facing repressions because of their leftist activism

Not a big deal, life happens. Just remember to come back. You're not being graded. Perfection is not achievable. You have a high standard of work and the style is dope. Try not to burnout and if you do you'll be welcomed back. You may be a comrade but you are still human.

Commenting to help you in the algorithm.

@LadyIzdihar No need to apologize, comrade. You need to take care of yourself before you can take care of the revolution. Get well. And, Al'salaam alaikum, comrade.💯⚒️✊️✊🏻✊🏾✊🏿🇵🇸🇨🇺🇰🇵🇨🇳🇮🇶

MOPR is kinda unique

APDR ( Association for Protection of Democratic Rights) is an anti fascist human and democratic rights activist platform in India with many types of communists from different parties joining to work against fascist and reactionary policies in a United front. CRPP (committee for realease of political prisoners ) is an organisation in India which advocates for the recognition of the rights of prisoners political prisoners, and demands for the release of revolutionaries, and pro people individuals in general.

We love the work you do, and appreciate learning from you- ADHD is not a dumb excuse, it's a super valid struggle for lots of people, stay strong comrade

5:24 Wow I live an hour from Gastonia and I never even heard of this

For your algorithm

As a fellow ADHDer, its a valid excuse, me brain in charge of me, it happens

I wonder why it was dissolved in 48. Perhaps the USSR didn’t want to agitate the west in an attempt to like work together.

eat your food some kid in america is right now straving

I had no idea that this existed!

Our cat, comrade Pspspspsps

I will do all I can for the Revolution as soon as I can break free of the awful situation I am in. Captive of Capital, indeed.

Spicy brain sucks but there’s much love for you ❤

"Communist Aid To Captives Of Capitalism" - #LadyIzdihar

Yeah things are getting bad again... The party in Belgium is bigger than ever, but that also means the attacks from the centre and the right are getting worse. Everyone's working their hardest to try and make a big splash the upcoming elections next year but in the back of our heads we're wondering if we'll need to work underground again soon

Perfect video. 😸
