/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

I named those subs as the places in my experience you're the most likely to meet "developed" patsocs, imo they represent the two faces of patsoc, nationalist "socialists" that long ago embraced specifically negative integration strategies to get western proles on board for "socialism" (enhanced welfare) that is stupidpol, and the intense cultural chauvinism and nearly mask off fascists that are RSP; see I realize something, these people, in an ideological sense, are like the original fascists but as farce

See, communists get too into the reeds in their rivalry with the fascists to the point that we forget, the original fascists mutated out of fringe interwar socialist parties; the OG fascists pretended to be socialists for quite a long time, even the only true revolutionaries

In every way, patsoc, and a lot of the anti-idpol left, are more ideologically fash than polfags, they've literally reconstructed fascist ideology piece-meal accidentally, vs polfags that are just normal brain dead bigots

Judeo-bolshevism conspiracies are so 20th century, now we blaming communism creation on Islam homies 😎

After kidnapping, senior Lebanese Forces official found dead in Syria
The kidnapping and subsequent killing of a local official of the Lebanese Forces (LF), one of the largest Christian political parties in Lebanon, over the weekend has caused outrage and sparked sectarian tensions in the country, which is already at a boiling point due to the ongoing conflict between the Shiite Hezbollah paramilitary group and Israel in the south.

Oh no, Russian FSB has declassified more documents about Nazi falsifications about Katyn https://tass.ru/obschestvo/20515213

How can Katyn denialists ever recover?

MOSCOW, April 11. /tass/. The FSB Directorate for the Smolensk Region has declassified archival documents on crimes committed by the Nazis in the region during the Great Patriotic War, including materials on the executions of Poles and the falsification of the Katyn Case by German special services.

The TASS correspondent got acquainted with copies of documents submitted to the OGKU "State Archive of the Modern History of the Smolensk region" within the framework of the project "Without limitation period".

The archive includes information, intelligence and special reports of the Smersh counterintelligence dated 1944-1945. A significant part of the documents are the interrogation protocols of Poles who served with the Germans in the Smolensk region, the forensic medical expert of the Budapest City Royal Court, Imre Sechody, a member of the commission investigating the murder of Polish officers in the Katyn forest, Boleslav Smektal and others involved.

For example, a native of Poland, Eduard Potkansky, who served in a workers' battalion formed by the Germans from Poles in a camp at the Krasny Bor station in the Smolensk region, said that in the summer of 1943, the Germans decided to show the participants of the workers' battalion the graves of Polish officers in the Katyn forest. Grave graves," Potkansky recalled, "According to the Germans, there were up to 12 thousand Polish officers who were shot, and up to 3 thousand more people are in another place, and these graves have not yet been opened."

According to him, officers' belongings, Polish money, personal letters and documents of the executed officers were lying near the graves. "All these things, and especially personal documents and money, were in such a form in which they could not have been preserved in the ground since 1939 (when, according to Nazi statements, NKVD officers shot Polish officers - approx. TASS). The money, for example, was still brand new and did not seem to be in circulation," the Pole noted.

Roman Kovalsky, a prisoner of war who also served in a workers' battalion and visited a mass grave in the Katyn forest, added in his testimony that "it was clear from most of the corpses of thoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Broadband internet connection and algorithmic content curation has realized Zbigniew Brzezinski's vision of TITTYTAINMENT. Videobinging, excessive videogaming, gooning. Zbiggy was already talking about it many, many years ago. The ruling class needs a way to pacify the masses, now the technology is here. Welcome to the future.
>Uh, just let people enjoy things!
Ok, but keep in mind, why this all stuff actually exists.

I don’t mean by its original definition. We need to be like cuntservatives and just start calling everything we don’t like WOKE so we can steal it from them and basically turn it into a neutral word. For example:

Imperialism=WOKE
Cops=WOKE
US military=WOKE
NATO=WOKE
Israel=WOKE
USA=WOKE
Founding Fathers=WOKE
Proud Boys=WOKE

What did he mean by this?

>Chairman Mao: Those questions are not questions to be discussed in my place. They should be discussed with the Premier. I discuss the philosophical questions. That is to say, I voted for you during your election. There is an American here called Mr. Frank Coe, and he wrote an article precisely at the time when your country was in havoc, during your last electoral campaign. He said you were going to be elected President. I appreciated that article very much. But now he is against the visit.

<President Nixon: When the President says he voted for me, he voted for the lesser of two evils.

>Chairman Mao: I like rightists. People say you are rightists, that the Republican Party is to the right, that Prime Minister Heath is also to the right.

<President Nixon: And General DeGaulle.

>Chairman Mao: DeGaulle is a different question. They also say the Christian Democratic Party of West Germany is also to the right. I am comparatively happy when these people on the right come into power.

The prevalence of opportunism and reformism is primarily due to the extremely large middle class which forms the majority of the population in the West (and possibly in China as well) today. As capitalism develops the proletariat declines as a relative % of society, on the other hand an enormous petit-bourgeois mass is created in order to realize surplus-value for capital. It is a buffer between the two classes, it increases the power and security of the bourgeoisie.

When faced with critical periods, as in recent times, the middle class must find a crutch to rely upon, to find a lifeline to avoid being proletarianized. This it does by recruiting proletarians to fight for its cause, since it is impotent on its own. This is what leftism is, a guise for middle-class elements to ideologically delude the proletarian class in order to use it to pass reforms that will save the petit-bourgeois from doom by preserving its small capital (via welfare, free services, regulations on larger firms etc). All pseudo-communists (the various 'communist parties', the 'democratic' sects like DSA/MUG, all these anarchists and Berniebro-type socdems, Labourists etc) are agents of the middle class, their sole aim is to use the proletariat as a prop for PB interests, even if unknowingly.

This is the source of opportunism and impotence within the proletarian movement, it is the reason why no successful genuine communism has taken hold within the western proletariat. Only when this polluting influence is recognized and shaken off, will anything proceed forward.

Many are increasingly waking up to the fact that a "two state solution", which imperialists have been trying to shove down the throats of the Palestinian people for years, does nothing but legitimize and reward Zionist colonialism, while denying the right to return for Palestinians violently driven out of their Homeland by the ZioFascist marauders and denying a democratic voice to the Palestinian people. Unfortunately, the alternative that many of them have embraced is a "single democratic binational state" for both the indigenous Palestinians and the descendants of the racist colonizers, who will have equal rights in this "democratic" Palestine. This is alleged to be an "anticolonial" and "socially just" solution, and people insist that when they say "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" this is what they mean.

The reality is that this "solution", no less than the two-state solution, rewards the genocidal Zionist colonizers and hideously equates their "rights" with those of their victims, while denying the right of the Indigenous population to decide who can live on their land. Furthermore, it violates the right of return: how can there be a viable right to return when the homes stolen from Palestinians are being squatted by "Israeli" colonizers? And if this one-state solution is "democratic", can't "Israeli" colonizers just bring more of their co-ethnics to Palestine to outnumber and out vote the indigenous population, and restore Zionist fascist control? Furthermore, given that 98% of "Israelis" hold genocidal ethno-supremacist views to which they are fanatically committed, the idea that they will suddebly have a change of heart and peacefully agree to such a solution in the first place is UTTERLY preposterous!

In reality, there is only solution: for the Palestinian people to wage a fanatical struggle to the death against the colonizers, with the unconditional support and solidarity of all the world's anti-imperialist fighting peoples, after which the Zionist colonizers will be given the same ultimatum that the French "pieds-noirs" were given by the Algerian freedom fighters upon their victory: the suitcase or the coffin! The Zionists must be driven out of all of Palestine, dead or alive, and the one state solution will be a free and socialist Palestine for the indigenous Palestinians. From the river to the see, Palestine will be free, and it's time we stop cucking out and actually MEAN that.

What could happen if harassment of Nazis became normalized?
What case studies are relevant, and what are their limitations?

In many places in the West, we see neo-fash orgs performing both unannounced 'flash-mob' marches, and police-protected protests. As dorky as they look, these still make a statement - we're publicly fascist and not being hurt. It's ok.
But sometimes, these don't go as planned. Antifascist groups frequently infiltrate their communications or have a local network ready to quickly react and counterprotest. And sure, on a regular good day they'll embarrass the fash more than they're doing themselves, deal financial damage by smashing their vehicles, maybe even get an assault in, but this requires organization and dedication. Ideally, this could be complimented by normalized, casual antifascism, creating an environment where it's not safe to be a Nazi outside.

But that's not easy when police will protect them, and make no mistake, that is not an inevitability. Take the example of when the British Union of Fascists went to Brighton, where police weren't sympathetic and basically just sent one cop, letting antifascists like the 43 Group throw bricks at them and beat them up. Or take examples where there are enough aggressive counter-protesters to make police aggression futile - you can only arrest so many people (safety in numbers is a real tactic used in known illegal actions like blockades). Furthermore, there are examples where nazis appear before police do (take the NSN arriving to a demonstration early in an attempt to avoid antifascists) or where they act as individuals performing stunts or wolfwhistling.
In these cases, nazis can be mobbed not just by antifascist activists but by normal citizens, with legal consequence being the only real chilling factor.
