#comradeship

I consider Boxer and I to be very close comrades, we fought together in the Battle Of The Cowshed after all! I still considering fighting beside him a great honour. He really is a symbol of the working animals on Animal Farm, a beacon of light, if you will. I’m so proud of all the hard work and contributions he’s done for the farm! Even now that I’m not in the farm, I know he is working just as hard as before,

Is no one else goong to point the fact that Kim Dokja DOES LOOK LIKE a squid in this drawing 🤣!?!?!

You tell him bud

Certain things never change.

Jodi Dean, Comrade: "Like Soviet revolutionary history and early-twentieth-century Anglo-US Whitman-inspired homosocialism, the Chinese word for comrade, tongzhi, replaces hierarchical and gendered designations of relation with an ‘ideal of egalitarianism and utopianism.’ In contemporary Chinese, tongzhi also means gay. According to Hongwei Bao, tongzhi is intrinsically queer: It 'maps social relations in a new way, a way that opens the traditional family and kinship structure to relations and connections between strangers who share the same political views, and it transforms private intimacy into public intimacy.’ Bao’s queer comrades resonate with Jason Frank’s reading of Whitman’s ethos of comradeship in his Calamus poems, where erotic comradely relations destabilize and overcome 'identitarian differences of locality, ethnicity, class, and occupation, sex, race, and sexuality.’" BRG, What is A Comrade?:  "Study the cultural history of the New Afrikan people. It was only through maintenance of discipline that we were able to stage slave revolts. It was only through subordination to the collective that maroon colonies were able to exist in Jamaica, Latin America, and the Great Dismal Swamp in the British colonies which eventually became the United States. Why do we have play brothers and sisters, play aunts, play cousins, etc.? Because the colonizer broke up our real families and we were forced to become one large family to ensure our collective survival in the era of chattel slavery." Araling Aktibista: Lessons for Activists:  “A revolutionary is always seeking unity with their fellow revolutionaries. They are loving and thoughtful towards their comrades. The uniting and loving treatment of revolutionaries is important in building and strengthening the unity and strength of the revolutionary ranks. Revolutionaries have an outstanding treatment uniting and teaching each other. A revolutionary always unites with her or his comrades, even if they don’t know each other very well, or those whom they don’t share the same opinions, or those who have made errors but are willing to rectify. Insignificant misunderstandings can easily be set aside or can be overcome because the revolutionary always gives importance to unity. Their understanding of the conditions of their comrades and their effort to work and become a better revolutionary is always a priority.A revolutionary is thoughtful and loving towards their comrades. They always help every comrades to fulfill their duties and tasks, and  in resolving their problems including personal ones. They help and give support to their comrades to forge themselves in the midst of the struggle. The joys and struggles of their comrades are also the joys and struggles of every revolutionary.”
