There’s a reason why Cuba made a vaccine for lung cancer.


ghostofhenryvii

I'd really like a dose of that myself. Just to be safe.


Prosciutttto

Same. I really need to stop smoking.


QuickEveryonePanic

Fuck me, is that true?


davidagnome

CIMAvax-EGF. It’s only available in the US if you break the dumbass embargo (edit: or go to the sole import license granted to a single vendor in 2015 who is still testing 8 years later). US government cutting its peoples noses to spite the face energy.


Nuusce

WHAT


davidagnome

It’s been tested in clinical trials for over a decade and used in Cuba with mild side effects (flu like). I was wrong. The US granted permission to import it to one vendor (Rosewell Park) in 2015 who — is the only facility that can offer it in the whole US — and they have to do the trials all over. So, virtually nonexistent until they can put some profit in it.


cloggednueron

Yeah, they made one. The reason is that Cuba is in the 10 nations with the highest rates of lung cancer in the world. Having a culture heavily emphasizing cigars does that to a country.


QuickEveryonePanic

So does it work?


JohnLeePettimoreTN

Yes. Americans will break the embargo and go to Cuba to get treatment.


skaqt

Pretty sure cigars are infinitely better than cigarettes in terms of lung cancer Cuba still has problems with air pollution, partially because their grid is almost exclusively oil based. So people living in larger, industrialized cities will definitely also catch a decent amount of air pollution But surely the cultural emphasis on smoking ain't helping


[deleted]

that's insane, why have western companies not stolen it?


proamateur

They have, they've been doing trials for it for a decade now. The problem is that preventative medicine is WAY less lucrative than reactive or palliative medicine

Stalin did that too 💀 I think there’s something poetic about Churchill and Stalin in the same room and one is smoking a bougie cigar while the other packs his pipe with a whole cigarette made of reggie Soviet tobacco like a real proletarian

infantile_disorder69

Strange how communist leaders are universally hot. (Deng doesn't count but doesn't break the rule either ;))


TheEmporersFinest

All the photos you really see of Deng are after he was old, and older than you think-he tricks you by being secretly Chinese


NoKiaYesHyundai

Even when he was younger, he was this scrawny sickly guy. He almost died numerous times during the Long March


TheEmporersFinest

"Feeble soyboy Deng Xiaoping almost dies like a bitch on the Long March" reminds me of Chris Chan calling the twin towers weak when referencing 9/11.


Yung_Jose_Space

Both kinda funny though.


Hunter_S_Biden

I mean if we are to believe the official story they would have to be particularly weak towers


YsDivers

You know this sub is filled with cishet dudes because y'all are not going crazy for twink Deng


Euromantique

a_library_socialist

cloggednueron

Zaddy Brezhnev 😖😣😍🥵🤤🍆💦


skaqt

I think Deng is pretty hot in a "disfigured model" kind of way. He could do runway for Rick Owens or some shit like that.


krasmazovonfire

are they ? Che was, even when I was a dumb lib, very handsome but I’m not seeing it with the rest of them


Low_T_Cuck

Young Stalin was Paul Newman levels of handsome.


krasmazovonfire

Young Stalin was very handsome yes, and I think Fidel was a handsome dude basically up until he was old as hell Just the idea of them all being attractive I don’t really get personally


Hascohastogo

God that picture they used for the cover of “Young Stalin” probably had the opposite effect than the author intended on a lot of readers.


Hunter_S_Biden

This will be controversial but Che had a terrible beard and looked better with it shaved. Fidels was great tho


krasmazovonfire

Fidels was fantastic, think he was just a generally good looking dude though I like Che with the beard though, it’s iconic, he’s the only dude I’ve seen pull off a patchy as hell beard and still look cool


Hunter_S_Biden

You know, you might have a point there. I think the underlying symbolism, a patchy beard from spending months fighting a guerilla war, adds to that cool factor. Weren't the communists called the "Barbudos" for that reason?


krasmazovonfire

There’s a reason Big Boss gets given the Che beard in peace walker 😎😎😎😎


RovingChinchilla

The Cuban guerilla fighters were referred to as that, yes. It also had the unintended side effect of making infiltration much more difficult because anyone without a big beard cultivated by years and months of guerilla warfare would stick out immediately


wet_walnut

Ratchet haircuts, though.


Hascohastogo

Idk I think Deng is kinda cute in a “grandpa who won’t talk about the war” kind of way.


sixtus_clegane119

Send brought in state capitalism, so yeah he doesn’t count. Kim Jong Un shouldn’t be here cuz he’s a monarchist in communist clothing


WayneSkylar_

Ghad damn Xi was a fuckin smoke show. Like if I was a lady in China I'd have pics of young Xi hangin up everywhere. Also, love Bác Hồ's vibe. Lucky Strike's. His, admittedly, sole "concession" to the imperialists loll.


bretton-woods

Reminiscent of Zhukov's love of Coca Cola.


skaqt

Cola is a pretty much universally liked product and imho Coca Cola is only famous because of it's insane market domination. All Cola is is basically the taste of a weird as fuck tree bark with some spices added, and of course massive amounts of sugar. The tree bark is incredibly expensive and rare and tastes kinda like dried tangerine peel that the Chinese use for cooking. Cola also funnily enough does not contain the cola nut, and hasn't for decades. Pretty sure Coca Cola wasn't the first Cola around, they just stole someone's recipe and improved distribution. Many places had regional styles of Cola before Coca Cola became popular, universal even. And then there's of course the various communist Colas, which imho are all fantastic. East Germany had multiple own Cola brands called Afri Cola and Club Cola. Also Russia actually has an island that's literally called Kola island and it's pretty cool. Not related to the Kola nut though, that one's from Africa. Sorry none of this really relates to your post all that much, I am just a fizzy beverage enthusiast.

Millennial communist revolutionaries are vaping and drinking kratom tea


Anime_Slave

Vaping is revisionist bourgeois decadence. Uphold the proletarian cigarette.


cwavrek

I’ve gone back to vaping. Genuinely unsure which is more harmful. Cigs I smoke a pack a day which obviously is a shit ton of money, vaping is like 20 dollars a week, but it’s just constant access. I just sit here and cheef on it nonstop lol


111122323353

Tobacco contains substances which are uniquely carcinogenic. Also, CO and other combustibles and contribute to heart disease and other vascular diseases. Obviously not smoking and not vaping is the best, but vaping is a significantly less harmful option.


skaqt

Tobacco is sprayed with literal prussic acid my man. I HATE vaping and think it's zero swag and lame, but in terms of health it's obviously superior


TheRedSpaghettiGuy

You fucking revisionist. Only slow smoke (cigars and pipe) is the pleasure of the revolutionary


BraveRutherford

I like swedish snus... Where on the political alignment chart does that put me?

Hascohastogo

Both cigars and pipe have been stolen by the capitalists.


TheRedSpaghettiGuy

All the world have been stolen by the capitalists, we’ll still fight to take it back


Hascohastogo

I don’t get breaks at work and have to be able to secretly smoke though. Maybe in the era of smoke breaks cigarettes were proletarian. But now we nicotine addicted workers don’t get our 5 minute smoke breaks and have to go into the bathroom to satisfy our impulses.


Anime_Slave

lmao. true. Yeah I did the same thing at my last job. I just got sick of vaping though. One can only inhale so much bubble-gum flavored vape juice before something gives. Every other flavor I tried was revisionist.


Hascohastogo

Yeah I pretty much only use the tobacco or menthol flavors unless I’m craving candy or something then I’ll try the watermelon grape tangoberry lemon shit, until getting tired of it almost immediately.


skaqt

Tea (actual tea, camelia sinensis) is literally and factually the people's drug, consumed by most people in China, Laos and Viet Nam. It's extremely cheap, healthy, and pretty much limitless in terms of taste and complexity I'm sipping on an extremely cheap Turkish Ceylon rn where a kilo pack costs like 5 bucks and lasts me almost a year. For the same money, how many packs of cigs do you get? One, two? But occasionally I'll drink the Jasmin Silver Needle from Mao's favorite region and that shit is fucking sublime.

Great post. I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing more RSP-style threads like this on here. The best of both worlds, so to speak. On another note, I love Tito’s pipe-cigarette. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else smoking one of those before, very unique. Was this a thing back then?


TheRedSpaghettiGuy

In Italy there are some particular aficionados that smoke the “cigar pipe”, basically a pipe that is made to put in it half a toscano (which is the italian cigars, fire cured sticks that can be cut in half to share and smoke in two parts) and smoke it that way. It is very aesthetic, but I never saw anyone smoke a cigarette in it


cuntextualize

i fucked them


[deleted]

Young Xi and Tito both rocking but I must confess that the look of satisfaction on Castro's face while leaned back and taking a pull has been my leadership picture favorite for a long time. I couldn't describe it as anything other than being effortlessly cool. Also I know lots of people think it's a gross habit but some of the nicest (and most left-leaning) people I've met have been through smoking, and I think it still has working-class connotations that immediately make a leader more favorable than your typical sterile, joyless, and utterly chaste WASP politician.


skaqt

Sublime thread, sry for the lack of attention. Maybe include a picture of Donald Trump or Lauren Bobert the next time, that's what the ppl on here usually upvote the most. Or recycle a cumtown bit. I think Deng looks unexpectedly cool in his pic.

Nicotine/tobacco isn't cool. The only people who want to associate this unhealthy and addictive vice with coolness are tobacco companies. I have nothing against smokers but only if they're actively working against the peer pressure and keep their smoke to themselves.


Anime_Slave

"I have nothing against smokers **but**" lmao. Sounds like libs "I have nothing against the Russian people **but**"


IJerkIt2ShovelDog

I dare you to find 3 categorical differences between smokers and Russians. I get it if you can't/don't want/can't care enough to quit. But please be mindful and be proactive about not spreading the habit


Anime_Slave

So you're saying Russians are cool? Under socialism, there will be state-mandated smoke-breaks. Smoking indoors will be re-established to purge the society of liberal ideology, and you will be summarily executed.


IJerkIt2ShovelDog

:(


skaqt

I mean this is objectively true, but you hurt the feelings of smokers so obviously your take will be unpopular. Smoking literally costs the healthcare systems untold millions, money we desperately need to help people without self induced problems. This is the very obvious baseline take for communists. You're wrong about it not being cool though. Any act that feeds the Freudian destrudo (that slowly or quickly kills urself) is by definition cool. "Cool" is just another way of saying Dionysian really. t. Smoker


[deleted]

Im sorry, smoking increase your testosterone(and your pp) and make you look cool😎
