### **Notes**

* If people are confused why BadEmpanada considers Laos a “client-state” in this document within the disclaimers clarifying BadEmpanada’s political position following video out-links, those are his own words in interviews, livestreams or Q&As about his ideology. He supports Vietnam, but doesn’t know much about Laos but tentatively supports Laos as an extension of Vietnam. We are aware not everyone likes BadEmpanada (due to his extremely abrasive personality on Twitter and Reddit) and may converge with tankies on certain issues (or not at all). His position does not differ much from older ML currents emerging after 9/11 in 2001, the Pink Tides and during Occupy Wall Street in 2011 but before Crimean re-occupation in 2014 and Trump’s Sinophobia in 2016. He’s an oldhead.

Shaman King (manga en España)

**Shaman King** es una serie de manga escrita e ilustrada por Hiroyuki Takei, publicada originalmente en la revista Shūkan Shōnen Jump, pero siendo cancelada en el año 2004. Posteriormente la serie dejaría de ser de la editorial Shūeisha tras ser adquirida por Kōdansha.

## Datos técnicos

## Sobre su publicación

* La serie fue publicada por 2 distintas editoriales en España:
	+ Glenát España (actualmente llamada Editores de Tebeos) fue la primera en publicar el manga, publicando los 32 tomos originales de la versión original de Shūeisha en su formato tankōbon.
	+ Editorial Ivrea fue la segunda en publicar el manga, publicando los 35 tomos de la versión de Kōdansha en su formato tankōbon, la cual se diferencia del tankōbon original de Shūeisha en muchos aspectos. Los agregados que tiene el tankōbon de Kōdansha son: incluir todas las páginas a color de la publicación original de la serie en la Shūkan Shōnen Jump, las nuevas páginas redibujadas por el autor y los capítulos completamente inéditos que componen el nuevo final creado originalmente para la versión kanzenban de Shūeisha. Aunque la publicación del manga en España es en tomos dobles, por lo que 2 tomos japoneses equivalen a 1 tomo en español.

### **Notes**

* Grover Furr, Katyn massacre denier, also links to neo-fascist websites and endorses Holocaust deniers
* Grover Furr has hyperlinks to neo-fascist works on his personal website (e.g. by Sergei Semanov), he accepted praise from Holocaust denialist journals (*Russkiy Vestnik* and *Slovo*), and the publishers of Russian versions of his books (*Algoritm* and *Eksmo*) are known for publishing neo-Nazi and ultra-nationalist materials (e.g. “Aryan Roots of Russia” and works by Goebbels and Mussolini). One of Furr’s sources on faminie denialism is Yuri Mukhin, an associate of Holocaust deniers Jurgen Graf and Carlo Mattogno.  Mukhin himself is known to be antisemitic.

* “The Unwilling Reformer” by Igor Chubais https://gulaganarchists.wordpress.com/2009/08/ [EN]

### **Notes**

* The rebellion spanned across several camps.
* The rebellion was shortly after the death of Stalin and the arrest of Beria.
* A major contributing factor to the rebellion was the lack of amnesty for political prisoners, which many prisoners in Norilsk were.
* "The prisoners' demands included a review of all prison sentences; an end to summary executions; the shortening of the working day from twelve to eight hours; the right to correspond with their families; the transfer of disabled prisoners; and the removal of the locks on the barracks, the bars on the windows, and the identification numbers on prison uniforms."
* Anarchists were involved in the rebellion and the prisoners raised black flags.
* 50,000 prisoners from a variety of backgrounds: Russian, Ukrainian, Baltic, Czech, Hungarian, Rumanian, Chinese, Japanese, French and Italian. Ukrainians were a sizable population.

#### Notes

* Watch out for the tendency to conflate Uzbekistan with the rest of Central Asia. This is common in Soviet studies.
* Stalin was head of the People's Commissariat for Nationalities (Narkomnats) from 1917–23 that was responsible for the national territorial delimitations in Central Asia to confront what the Bolsheviks saw as competing forces including Pan-Turkism, Islam, & the Basmachi movement.
* A 'class conscious' critique of settler colonialism was swapped out by Stalin for the narrative of "progressive Russian influence."
* In 1924 the Narkomnats created Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan & Uzbekistan to encourage an "antagonistic rivalry among the different nations" instead of Moscow
* Stalin  began to execute party leaders & intelligentsia who opposed his territorial delimitation in Central Asia.

Edmée's shack

**Edmée's shack** is a location in *Arlo the Alligator Boy*. It was a house owned by Edmée in The Swamp and was Arlo Beauregard's original home before leaving for New York City. It was destroyed in "The Uncondemning" by Edmée to kill the Bog Lady and free Arlo and his gang.

## Background

It was built by Edmée some time after taking up residence in the swamp in order to hide from the Feds. Some time after Arlo's birth and being lost at sea for days due to Ansel forsaking him, Arlo shows up on the porch and Edmée finds him, and decides to take him in as her own for the next fifteen years. The shack then progressively got taller as the years passed, until it became the two-story version as it was today. At a certain point during his childhood, Arlo met a frog named Jeromio who came to live with him at the shack. After his fifteenth birthday, Arlo moved out of the shack and left for New York City with Jeromio to keep Edmée company.

Around the time of "Friendship Couch", Jeromio decides to move out of the shack and live with Arlo at his new home in the city, thus Edmée is now home alone sending daily care packages to Arlo. However, she is soon stalked by the villainous Bog Lady, who casts a spell covering the shack in roots and vines, and has Ruff and Stucky kidnap Edmée for bait and write a ransom note to lure Arlo back to the swamp as revenge for him leaving.

The shack is then taken over by the Bog Lady to prevent Arlo and his gang from leaving. When she turns down Arlo's apology in favor of eating them instead, Edmée reveals she rigged the shack with a self-destruct as a backup. Once the gang is devoured, she activates it, causing the detonators to explode, blowing up the shack and destroying it completely, killing the Bog Lady and releasing everyone as a result. As a result, Arlo's old home is now gone for good.

### **Quotes**

* “Идеологию гитлеризма, как и всякую другую идеологическую систему, можно признавать или отрицать, это - дело политических взглядов. Но любой человек поймет, что идеологию нельзя уничтожить силой, нельзя покончить с нею войной.”
* "The cry, 'Long live Poland,' which arose at that time throughout entire Western Europe, was not only an expression of sympathy and respect for the patriotic warriors, crushed by brute force; with this cry it still joyously welcomes a nation all the uprisings of which–so unfortunate for itself–always dammed the counter-revolutionary current, and her bravest sons everlastingly conducted the war of counter-attacks, fighting everywhere under the banner of the people’s revolutions" - Karl Marx et al, "A Letter to the Polish Socialists"

### **Notes**

* Partition of Poland, along with expulsions (and executions) of Polish people, during Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact followed by anti-Soviet (or anti-Communist, with a big C) sentiments and right-wing attitude shift during political liberalization is seen as a travesty because Poland has long historically been held as the bastion of proletarian internationalism
Follow Me Home

## Video

"**Follow Me Home**" is the fifth song from *Arlo the Alligator Boy*. It is sung by Bertie and Arlo as the former reveals her background of having no place to call home and is always moving on, while the latter encourages her that she's better than she thinks. It was also the first single released for the film.

## Lyrics

**Bertie:**

When I look to the ocean, it feels like home

Wish the waves could follow me everywhere I go

But I can't move with it, one thing I know

Is that I, I'm meant to be alone

Follow, follow, follow, follow me home

If it don't, it'll be alright

I'll be gone in the morning light

Follow me

Follow, follow, follow, follow me home

Hangin' on to the last of time

Can't imagine the moment's mine

So I'm alone

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Ooh-ooh...

I have felt burning stares and judging eyes

Certain they only see just my outside

I'll never be for them, that's clear to me now (To me now)

My home is where I'm by myself

**Arlo:**

Ooh, yeah, yeah

Look at me, look at you

Don't you see we can move with it?

Take my hand, I'm here today

It's a chance, leap of faith

What it be, what we do with it

Without you, I lose my way

**Bertie: (Arlo:)**

## Trivia

* The amount of glowing light across the water gets progressively brighter as more characters join, which also reflects on Bertie gaining confidence over the course of the song.
* The gestures and motions done by Bertie represent her doubtfulness before slowly becoming confident:
	+ When Arlo begins his verse, Bertie is walking away from him before she bends down to his eye level. Then during the chorus, Arlo jumps up to Bertie's eye level and Bertie holds him at her eye level.
	+ At the beginning, Bertie sees a seagull and is lonely, representing she doesn't feel "free" and is afraid of letting her guard down. At the end, she opens up to her friends and "flies" with the seagulls flying overhead.
