Publishing a list of vacant properties that can be used by people who need housing has done far more damage to the 1% than a riot ever could. This is the kind of thing that makes them sit up and take notice , because it is not a problem with a quick fix like collecting insurance and calling in tradesmen to repair the damage and replace the stock of a store after it gets looted . Evicting an established squatter can take months or even years and if they are not paying attention they may even lose their property to adverse possession laws.

But they will, because American has a ZOG, and on top of that, it pays to go to war for Israel. Politically via AIPAC, and """benefits the economy""" via the military-industrial complex.

Also, a substantial sect of the American population belong to an apocalyptic cult that prays for Armageddon.

Except that evangelitards are absolute antisemites. They think all Jews should go to Israel for Jesus to come back where 2/3 of them will die, and a third will become Christians.

Why would gulf states do anything? I don't think any missiles or drones entered their airspace.
It was probably the US bases in these countries that did anything. Gulf states like to ignore conflicts.

Big corporations are quietly taking over your medical practice. Some doctors and experts say it's ruining healthcare.
Nearly 78% of US doctors are employed by hospitals or other corporate entities, such as insurers and PE firms, according to research from consultancy Avalere and the Physicians Advocacy Institute. For the first time, more medical practices were owned by corporate entities (30%) than hospitals (28%) as of January 2024, the research found.

L.A. cuts tentative deal to provide $15 million to spare Chinatown tenants from steep rent hikes
The proposed agreement would require the city to spend nearly $15 million to ensure that rents are subsidized in dozens of units inside the Hillside Villa Apartments, according to a memo issued Friday by the city’s housing department. The agreement would run through February 2034 and cover 106 of the building’s 124 units. For some renters, the subsidies would close the gap between the amount they were paying in 2019 and the market-rate rent the landlord wants to charge, city officials said.

Muslim leaders are ‘out of words’ as they tire of the White House outreach on the war in Gaza
“What more can we tell the White House for them to change course? I’ve run out of words,” said Michigan state Rep. Abraham Aiyash, who met with senior officials in February but has not had any contact with them since then.

Pro-Palestine Activists in France Get Summons from Anti-Terrorist Police
Imperialist governments continue to repress the international movement for Palestine, and France is no exception. Two members of Left Voice’s sister group, Révolution Permanente (RP), have received summons for questioning by the GLAT, an “anti-terrorism” judicial police unit. The police claim this is part of an investigation into comments allegedly made online since October 7 which “glorify terrorism.” One of the two activists who received a summons is Anasse Kazib, a rail worker of Moroccan descent who has for years been a public figure and spokesperson for RP. Kazib published a statement on social media which, among other points, says: "This will not prevent us from continuing to express our support for the Palestinian people and all exploited and oppressed across the planet. More than ever, at a time when tendencies towards war are strengthening, we can only count on our struggles!" The statement is already being widely circulated, and prominent leaders of the Left in France have voiced solidarity with the activists and denounced the repression on Twitter.

The Big China Con:How Canada’s establishment media manufactured the foreign interference scandal
We are now into week three of the public inquiry into the foreign interference scandal and already there have been no shortage of apparent bombshells. Presided over by Quebec appellate court judge Marie-Josée Hogue, the hearings in Ottawa have witnessed a parade of politicians and government bureaucrats offering up alarming testimony. The inquiry’s focus is on whether foreign governments interfered in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. Canada’s intelligence agencies, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and Communications Security Establishment (CSE), say China, India, and other governments attempted to meddle in both. For the Conservative Party, these claims have been the source of outrage, as they feel they were the target of the alleged meddling. Last week, former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole told the inquiry that foreign interference likely cost his party five to nine seats in 2021… Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

That's all very interesting, but the guilt wasn't proven off just the confession. It's kind of hilarious how people just assume that just because defendants have sent a couple of letters where they claimed innocence and loyalty, they couldn't have been just lying and doing the same for years before that. Only a friend can betray, afterall

Youre right that the left begins in the french revolution, but the idea of opposing "hierarchy" is needless contrivance. The whole republican revolution in france (and america) was about capturing the state and instituting *constitutional* protections for the rights of persons in an attempt to procure universal political subjectivity (i.e. democracy). So i would say the left is concerned with justice, but a justice which is oriented around equality. Equality doesnt mean horizontalism.
>but america wasnt equal
Yes, because it modeled itself largely after the roman republic, with the separation of free citizens and slaves. Lincoln comes around later to give discourse to the case for an extended equality in citizenship, and marx was obviously a massive supoorter of lincoln.
My contention is that marx's major criticism with capital's internal contradictions is that it doesnt circulate commodities at a sustained rate of production, and so it's production is inherently tied to consumption, and while capitalists control production, they rule consumption too. So in my opinion, marx would be very happy with a capitalism that had a broader chain of distribution, or of mitigating the crises of overproduction through subsidies (which is largely what the keynesian revolution is about). The fruits of labour have greater reach to the masses. Thats why much of the left CAN support things like UBI or welfare, even though they are extensions of capital's contradictions.
The leftist impulse here in a consumerist politics is the flattening of distribution (even by the market), and so bringing equality by the formlessness of cosmopolitan life. But here see how a conservative will hate big cities and the welfare state. Conservatives are 'anticapitalist' in this case, and so their anticapitalism is in the name of a deeper political subjectivity, which i think is in the name of inequality (which is also why fascists are accused of holding back technology). Capital thus as our social relation contains a progressive and reactionary tendency. There is no formal anti-capitalist politics thus, but only a sublation of bourgeois society, as the communists understand it.
i believe it was zizek who said that marx wanted capitalism without capital. Its not totally untrue. The utopian socialists also wanted aPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Its a weak and ahistorical definition
You can say that groups milennia ago were "leftist" by the same standard
As far as i can see, the left is just what the left says and does. Anyone who calls themself a leftist is "part" of the left, but the movement, is self-moved. By class antagonisms or whatever else.

I usually find that people who want to abolish the left/right dichotomy are moreso people that are interested in abandoning left unity in favor of workerism and opportunism like "big tent" movements and populism than they are in achieving socialism. They are more than happy to use left wing slogans and talking points but are furious if you call them leftist. If i didn't know any better, i'd say that communism and socialism are not only left wing, but also that they have nothing to gain from obfuscating their goals and ideals by pretending we have things in common with the right, since the right is predominantly made up by lead-poisoned boomers who can benefit us most by choking on their oatmeal or falling down the stairs rather than contributing anything at all to the world of politics.

> if "left wing" means anti-hierarchy
it doesn't because hierarchy is a result of economics. left means economic control is more public/democratic which results a flattening of hierarchy over time as productive forces develop. republicanism is left of monarchy because it distributes economic control between more people making it more democratic and historically progressive
