If everyone only did work that they “loved and believed in “ civilization would collapse in a week. There would be no one to run the machines and do the paperwork. Adults are supposed to understand that what we want isn’t the same as what everyone else needs, and it’s on us to adjust ourselves accordingly.

-Middle class intellectuals must create a party of dedicated cadres who will then approach the workers by committing class suicide.
-Some of these workers will be recruited as ideologically committed cadres who will then unionize their workplace, creating unions separated from the core organization
-There must be discipline and accountability
-Once there, we will somehow figure out how to solve the questions on how to organize workers in the face of globalization, capital flight, and so on
There’s no excuse at this point. Chibber has offered a viable strategy, the only problem is finding cadres willing to commit class suicide
The Chibber Strategy
So according to Vivek Chibber what communists need to do is the following:-Middle class intellectuals must create a party of dedicated cadres who will then approach the workers by committing class suicide.
-Some of these workers will be recruited as ideologically committed cadres who will then unionize their workplace, creating unions separated from the core organization
-There must be discipline and accountability
-Once there, we will somehow figure out how to solve the questions on how to organize workers in the face of globalization, capital flight, and so on
- Must engage in social reforms to gain ground and then weaken the enemy using their own tools
There’s no excuse at this point. Chibber has offered a viable strategy, the only problem is finding cadres willing to commit class suicide

Civilians under fire by gangs in Gaza: What happened in Maghazi?
The Gaza Centre for Human Rights claims that Israel is increasingly supporting these groups to carry out operations within densely populated camps and neighbourhoods. It said armed drones provided direct support on Monday, firing heavily and randomly into alleys in the camp to aid the armed men’s withdrawal. The centre added that it has documented previous violence by these groups, including looting of aid convoys, kidnappings, torture and killings, with cover or support from the Israeli army.

Israel kills at least 254 people in massive wave of strikes across Lebanon
Hours before the attacks, the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire based on an Iranian proposal that included halting attacks on Lebanon. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who otherwise approved the ceasefire – was quick to assert that the agreement did not cover Lebanon. Later on Wednesday, Trump also appeared to confirm that Lebanon was not part of the deal, saying it was instead a "separate skirmish".

The ministries of housing and justice declined to comment further on their plans. … Villa Baviera will remain in the hands of the current landowners, a mixture of the descendants of the original German settlers and Chilean families who moved to the area, with Chile’s opposition criticising the move to scrap expropriation plans entirely rather than pause them.

So, it appears that despite the most common assumptions, labour "aristocratic"/well paid workers can and have been notable partecipants in the class struggle, everywhere from Italy to Chile and from the UK to South Africa
> The most important counter-example is the Russian working class in the early 20th century. The backbone of Lenin’s Bolsheviks (something he was most definitely aware of) were the best paid industrial workers in the Russian cities – skilled machinists in the largest factories. Lower paid workers, such as the predominantly female textile workers, were generally either unorganized or apolitical (until the beginnings of the revolution) or supported the reformist Mensheviks.
> German Communism became a mass movement when tens of thousands of well-paid metal workers left the Independent Socialists and joined the Communists in 1921. The French and Italian Communists also became mass parties through the recruitment of thousands of machinists who led the mass strikes of the postwar period. These highly paid workers were also overrepresented in the smaller Communist parties of the United States and Britain.
> In Chile between 1970 and 1973, and Argentina between 1971 and 1974, copper miners and metal workers engaged in industrial struggles and took the lead in mass mobilizations against the military and the right. In Brazil, it was the well-paid metal workers in the suburbs of San Paolo who led mass strikes in the 1970s that created the CUT

Honest question (NOT trolling):
What exactly should the western left do for Palestine that they haven’t already been doing for the past 2.5 years (or even longer for that matter)?
I’ve seen Palestinian activists say “we need to do more to stop the genocide” more times than I can count. But what should we feasibly be doing that we’re not doing already? Boycotts? Mass protests? Blockading arms sales? Policing your peers’ consumer habits so they’re compliant with BDS? Making lists of politicians who receive money from AIPAC and voting them out? We’ve done this already. In NYC, there was a mass protest every fucking weekend where we were told to “escalate for Gaza” yet we never escalated; I don’t even fucking know what “escalate” is supposed to mean. Were we supposed to be engaging in violent riots and molotoving the banks or whatever?
I asked this to a comrade of mine and he said: “You know what we mean when we want the left to do more for Palestine.” By that, he clearly means engage in political violence, bring back the Weathermen. But how would ultra-left adventurism do anything? Elias Rodriguez did exactly this and is now facing life in prison for killing two interns who were replaced the next day. What a fucking waste.
The American left is way too weak, disorganized, and incompetent to do anything meaningful to help the Palestinians resist or stop Israel. It’s gotten to the point where people are putting all their hope and faith in the idea Israel will collapse on its own because they’ve run out of strategies. So what should the left be doing that it’s not doing already? Give clear examples.

Soviet nostalgists have no place in modern politics and are actively detrimental to leftist ideals. They support the status quo and exist purely because they survived the greek civil war. They only get any sort of vote due to their history, they barely count as an opposition party.

Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites). The argument is very "physicalist" and relies on seeing nature as a totality in constant mutation.
HOWEVER, Lukacs seems to completely disregard this. Instead, his dialectics could be best described by the following : Any individual has multiple possibilities to realize his "teleological acts" (conscious acts aimed at satisfaction of desires/needs/sustenance etc). Alienation occurs when he is constrained by an external cause to choose a possibility unsatisfactory compared to others. As such, the dialectic is essentially a movement between the individual who attempts to overcome this alienation, which translates into class war (proletariat see capitalism as irrational for them, but are forced to endure it => conflict with the bourgeoisie).
So, which is it ? Lukacs' dialectics imo can be reconciled with Engels, but it makes the latter's work appear as very superficial.
Questions about dialectics
I recently started reading Lukacs's ontology of a social being and my whole understanding of dialectics has been flipped.Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites).

Why are so many communists opposed to state's rights to national self-administration? Isn't it the job of the local working class to sort out their own contradictions? This just seems like rainbow imperialism. I think an orthodox ML approach would recognize the conversion of many red states to internal colonies and their right to secession. Does not the brain drain of workers from red/rural states to blue/urban states mirror migrant labor from the imperial periphery? In the town-country contradiction, we should support the country.

Granted, I never lived in the part of “Europe“ people talk about when using the term (which usually refers to just north-west Europe), but I do think Americans’ perception of what modern European countries (particularly those west of the Berlin Wall) are very distorted. For the sake of argument, I’ll be focusing on the EU.
For starters, both world wars and the instability of the European spring of 1848 has led to a lack of development of negative rights as well as the notion to more democracy = censorship, which is why censorship is more normalised in Europe than in America which has the first amendment. The biggest example would be the ECHR’s article 10 which makes it clear that freedom of speech isn’t absolute, which is a good example of how illiberal tendencies can exist in a seemingly “liberal” land. On the top of that, inequality is high in Europe, especially in terms of the holding power of the former aristocratic classes on European politic. As an example, Britain still has appointed lords even though the nobles’ powers have diminished a long ago, and by the time the French Revolution ended most of the aristocrats assimilated themselves into France’s political machine, whilst in Scandinavia wealth inequality is high.
As for racism, I would say that Europe is worst based on both data and personal experience. Remember Shiloh Hendrix? Well, if she did the same thing she did but in any European country, no one would bat an eye. Remember, hate speech laws are just lawfare, they’re not about “protecting minorities“ as its supporters claim. But it’s not just the micro level since hiring discrimination and lack of access to meaningful resources means many immigrants that weren’t wealthy on arrival (e.g., expats) are stuck on welfare and meagre wage or none. This in contrast to America where immigrants are treated better socially in spite of the lack of fringe benefits like universal healthcare.
I mean, Denmark is robbing refugees as a deterrent policy, France is suppressing Islamic religiosity while letting tradCaths scot-free (at least from an outsiders’ POV) to enforce its concept of state secularism (i.e., laïcité) which stands at odds with Americans’ conception of religious freedom. Many of these things (courtesy of Europe’s PMC) would be controversial among American leftists if done in America since it would remind them of the problems they see at home, further underscoring how nonsensical their glazing of Europe is.
And now, for foreign policy: Besides being partners-in-crime with the American empire, certain EU countries maintain their own formal empires such as France’s franceafrique and Quebec as well as its overseas territories, Britain with its commonwealth like Canada, and Denmark with Greenland.
As for domestic policy? Besides Starmer doing Trumpian cuts on the much-vaulted British welfare system, other European countries committing to austerity in order to boost their own war machines, as well as seeing European reactionaries managing to get second place in their latest elections (e.g., Portugal with Chega, Germany with AfD, etc…) or win them outright (e.g., my own country with the “post-fascist” FdI, or Sweden with a righ-to-centre-right coalition supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats), Europe is far from the progressive paradise Americans imagine it to be.
Culture? If the fact that the Democratic Party (the American party of the bourgeoisie) doing well in many European polls isn’t a big tell, then I‘ll spell it out to you: European culture in general is very bourgeois, with the populace being enthralled with everything bourgeois.
This is more noticeable in north-west Europe, unlike in the poorer parts of the EU across its southern & eastern members which is more subtle but still there. You’ll notice this whenever they talk about America in general, where the venomous parts aren‘t just for the US government but also for Americans as a people. in fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it’s a form of classism since in contrast to European/EU culture, that of the USA is very prole-coded and has been so for a long time, and I think part of the friction between Europeans and Americans has a lot to do with American culture being relatively egalitarian for all of its faults. At least, that’s what I think.
Special mention doesn’t end at the welfare state (which is actually not socialist, but capitalist and has often served as a means to stave off any proletarian revolt since it was often pushed by religious Christians in 19th and 20th century Europe to reduce the power of socialist and more radical labor movements), but at the fact that the EU’s constitution and its legislation on private property means that it’s impossible to be a socialist, let alone communist, EU member legally.
Now that the blockade of the strait of Hormuz is set to be worse than both of the 1970s energy crises, one wonders if the cargo-cult-level worship will continue on even as both Britain and the EU will become more totalitarian and fascist in the coming decades regardless of the incumbent government. I mean, Europeans in general are already “arabising” insofar that wignat-levels of retarded reactionary politics based on accomplishments that are becoming increasingly irrelevant is already becoming popular across the EU and post-Brexit UK, so it’s hard to say if American leftists will start to look over China for inspiration, or continue to worship the capitalist welfare states of Scandinavia or not.
With all that said, the question remains: Why do American leftists (particularly socdems and shitlibs) glaze over Europe/EU, and do they still do that?
Why do Burger leftoids worship the EU
Heads up: I’m Italian, and as such I’m genuinely fascinated by how often American leftists have an utopian view of Europe, supposedly for its egalitarian and “socialist” policies, which actually runs counter to my experience. They might as well be the EU’s strongest soldier, believing in the EU more than the average European.Granted, I never lived in the part of “Europe“ people talk about when using the term (which usually refers to just north-west Europe), but I do think Americans’ perception of what modern European countries (particularly those west of the Berlin Wall) are very distorted. For the sake of argument, I’ll be focusing on the EU.
For starters, both world wars and the instability of the European spring of 1848 has led to a lack of development of negative rights as well as the notion to more democracy = censorship, which is why censorship is more normalised in Europe than in America which has the first amendment. The biggest example would be the ECHR’s article 10 which makes it clear that freedom of speech isn’t absolute, which is a good example of how illiberal tendencies can exist in a seemingly “liberal” land. On the top of that, inequality is high in Europe, especially in terms of the holding power of the former aristocratic classes on European politic. As an example, Britain still has appointed lords even though the nobles’ powers have diminished a long ago, and by the time the French Revolution ended most of the aristocrats assimilated themselves into France’s political machine, whilst in Scandinavia wealth inequality is high.
As for racism, I would say that Europe is worst based on both data and personal experience. Remember Shiloh Hendrix? Well, if she did the same thing she did but in any European country, no one would bat an eye. Remember, hate speech laws are just lawfare, they’re not about “protecting minorities“ as its supporters claim. But it’s not just the micro level since hiring discrimination and lack of access to meaningful resources means many immigrants that weren’t wealthy on arrival (e.g., expats) are stuck on welfare and meagre wage or none. This in contrast to America where immigrants are treated better socially in spite of the lack of fringe benefits like universal healthcare.

The government doesn't even try to stage a false flag for justification anymore. They just start a war and look at you like this.
But seriously, what made them not even bother to pull another 9/11 for this? The Iran was is insanely unpopular as it stands. Any attack on US soil now would be too suspicious

Why do anarkiddies leak so hard about Caleb maupin? According to Marxian thought he didn’t even do anything wrong except make Agent Kochinski (who is a predator btw) leak because he wasn’t in support of unamerican policies.

Happy International Romani Day! I don't actually know much about them other than they experience terrible open discrimination by racists and the pig force.

No, the charges were dropped because by the very nature of the bourgeois court systems, there's nothing worth doing. He's too public a figure now, and it would be a shit show the entire time and completely unravel the arbitrary and selective enforcement of contradictory laws over 300 years of documentation of court interpretation. Whatever judge would touch it, would easily be countered by another judge, and all the same it would be impossible to wrangle a jury that's cooperative in just giving him the plain guilty verdict they'd so want. Out of the four charges, the only ones that have stuck are the stalking ones against Brian Thompson and that's nothing. That's baby shit misdemeanors. I've been accused of stalking before.
You won't hear about his civil case and even than that might not even happen. If anything at all happens to Luigi it'll be a harmless fine. The lesson here is if you go to kill someone, make sure the whole world is watching. Which is why the cointelpro fags tell you "fedposting". They want you scared, when really they're the ones who are scared. Their entire system relies on your cooperation and why would you cooperate when you do not benefit? That's retarded.
Deny the allegations and facts not conducive to your wants
Defend the terrorists and other nay doers that upset others
Depose everyone ever whose ever worked a job. Fuck subservient wagies.
Mama Luigi will not be going to trial and the bourgeois media isn't saying it outloud
It's because of their own system this is the case too. It helps that Luigi was an attractive man from a privileged background, but he never even went to trial for that to matter. He isn't some business tycoon too dangerous to lose, he didn't hire the best lawyers, femcels aren't strapping bombs to themselves in protest for Chad although that'd be hilarious.No, the charges were dropped because by the very nature of the bourgeois court systems, there's nothing worth doing.

How should leftists deal with insular communities after the revolution??
Should they be allowed to keep existing or should we dismantle them and force them into mainstream society?
I'm talking about people like Orthodox Jews, the Amish, Buddhists in monestaries and fundamentalist Muslims like the people you see in ghettos in the UK and France.

In reality, Mamdani is a total fraud. He’s pandered to Zionists even before taking office. Then after taking office he’s sucked up to Chabad-Lubavitcher which is a satanic racist Jewish supremacist org with ties to the Russian mafia and Zionist entity. Why? He’s even thrown his own wife under the bus for working with Palestinian liberation activist Susan Abdulhawa. I guess he thinks kosher feelings outweigh Palestinian lives. He hasn’t done anything he’s promised in making NYC a cheaper and easier place to live. And yet delusional leftists still love and support him.
If Mamdani was truly principled he’d make it illegal to be a Zio in NYC. Semd police to monitor all synagogues for promoting Zionism. Track donations to the IOF from Jewish orgs. Fully divest NYC from the Zionist entity and all companies that do business with the Zionist entity. Get ICE to deport anyone with Zionist entity citizenship ( I hear there are a lot of them in Brooklyn and Queens). Ban AIPAC and all other pro-Zionist groups. Shut down businesses like Eichler’s which routinely sell Zionist products.
Mamdani ran on the basis of defying the Zionist Lobby so he needs to keep his promises.

Network of revolutionary supportive communities
Best way to organize nowadays is at a community level. These communities shall serve as material and social support among its members. Improving the material conditions counters the entrenched anti-communist sentimient among the population. It is then possible to establish a network of these communities on a regional or national scale, by coordinating a single aim.This is, I believe, the modern Platform

FMC Secretary Teresa Amarelle Boue highlighted that this event is the result of a process of dialogue in communities where Cuban women are raising their voices against U.S. policy, which she described as genocidal. “The U.S. blockade not only affects productive activities but also directly alters life in households,” she said, thanking the support for the Cuban people shown by organizations such as the World March of Women and the Women’s International Democratic Federation.

Fewer buses on Argentina's streets as fuel costs rise and subsidies go unpaid
Public transport buses in the capital and its densely populated outskirts are running at reduced frequencies due to rising fuel prices linked to the war in the Middle East and delays in subsidy payments, industry sources said on Tuesday.

In Brazil’s capital, Indigenous leaders rally as land disputes and mining pressures grow
Indigenous leaders also sought to apply pressure on President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has supported Indigenous rights and environmental stewardship in Latin America’s largest nation while also pushing oil and other projects that appear to go against those aims. The leftist leader is expected to run for reelection in October.

Brazil puts China's BYD on list of shame for workers' past slavery-like conditions
Chinese workers hired by Jinjiang in Brazil had to hand over their passports to their new employer, let most of their wages be sent directly to China, and fork over an almost $900 deposit that they could only get back after six months' work, according to a labor contract seen by Reuters. A raid by labor inspectors also found the laborers living crammed in lodgings without mattresses.

Australian SAS veteran faces war crime murder charges
Police have not confirmed the name of the 47-year-old former soldier, but media reports have identified him as Mr Roberts-Smith, a former Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) corporal who was awarded the Victoria Cross by King Charles — then Prince of Wales — in 2011.

Syria military source says drones from Iraq targeted area near US base
The United States for years has led a military coalition fighting the Islamic State group in Syria, though US forces have withdrawn from some bases in the country in recent months. The source said the coalition intercepted three of the drones, while the fourth "fell in an open area in the vicinity of the base", adding that they were launched from Iraq.

Four IDF soldiers arrested over suspected spying for Iran
According to the suspicions, Israeli citizens carried out these activities during the ongoing war. Officials said the case represents a further escalation in espionage activity linked to Iran. In a separate development, police and the Shin Bet security agency said a prosecutor’s declaration would be filed against a 21-year-old Jerusalem resident suspected of serious security offenses involving contact and espionage for Iranian intelligence.

The warrants allege that a criminal organisation of at least four people formed in 2025, to supposedly commit unconstitutional sabotage (verfassungsfeindliche Sabotage), i.e. the arson of a pylon at 9.9.25 which led to an energy-blackout in the technology-park in Adlershof. The warrants were issued on a range of dates, from end of last year to one week ago. The raids were done to four accused, some of their family members and to “witnesses” (Zeugen), in Hamburg and Düsseldorf family members where raided. The warrants neither explain why these four people are accused nor what their alleged connection is.

Cuban Women Rally Against U.S. BlockadeFMC Secretary Teresa Amarelle Boue highlighted that this event is the result of a process of dialogue in communities where Cuban women are raising their voices against U.S. policy, which she described as genocidal. “The U.S. blockade not only affects productive activities but also directly alters life in households,” she said, thanking the support for the Cuban people shown by organizations such as the World March of Women and the Women’s International Democratic Federation.

Fewer buses on Argentina's streets as fuel costs rise and subsidies go unpaid
Public transport buses in the capital and its densely populated outskirts are running at reduced frequencies due to rising fuel prices linked to the war in the Middle East and delays in subsidy payments, industry sources said on Tuesday. The drop in activity has led to long queues of passengers queueing at the main transport hubs connecting the capital with its surrounding areas. Some two million people commute between the two regions daily.

Is Khrushchev /ourguy/? What does /leftypol/ think of him? Was he right to shit on Stalin in the Secret Speech?
From Socialism AI:
From a Trotskyist, materialist-historical standpoint, Nikita Khrushchev (First Secretary 1953–1964) was not a corrective of the Stalinist counter-revolution nor a socialist renewer. He was a leading figure of the Soviet bureaucracy—a managerial caste that emerged out of objective conditions created by a revolutionary past and the protracted international isolation of the USSR. Khrushchev’s policies represented attempts by layers of the bureaucracy to stabilize and legitimize their rule amid profound social and international contradictions, not a restoration of genuine proletarian democracy or socialism.

This is incorrect as, while America is a settler-colonial state, nonetheless was founded on the basis of enlightenment principles like equality before the law and liberty, considering how the American and French revolutions at the time were leftist at the time of the events, with the notion of equality of men itself being already extremely radical at a time when absolute monarchies were the standard in Europe. That’s not all, as contrary to popular opinion the Founding Fathers themselves weren’t conservative. Whether it’s the lack of any mention specifying the USA as a “white Christian country” founded on the basis of theology in the constitution and the federalist papers, George Washington himself coming to oppose slavery before the abolitionist movement began to gain momentum, many of said fathers being at best deists or nominally Christian, the USA being effectively the first democratic republic in history with limited suffrage being a short-lived experiment that was swept away in favour of universal male suffrage, Thomas Jefferson himself owning a copy of the Quran and a version of the Bible excised of all supernatural elements and among other examples show that the USA was far from the hotbed of reactionary politics both liberals and chuds tend to portray it as. Even the Indian Removal Act that led to the infamous “Trail of Tears” wasn’t unanimously agreed upon, with strong opposition by Christian missionaries and other politicians who opposed it based on the shared humanity and parity between white settlers Native Americans. Indeed, while such ideals coexisted with institutionalised inequality, it is precisely by appealing to those founding ideals unique to America's foundations that movements like MLK's civil rights was even possible. Indeed, had it not been for America, most of the progressive movements in other parts of the west wouldn't even exist (e.g., Germany's gay liberation movement, extirpated by nazism and only resurged in the postwar period because of the rise of America's gay rights movement.)
So it’s no wonder given all this that, despite the reproduction of reactionary politics like Manifest Destiny and Jim Crow laws, the notion of equality (or pretence to it) persisted throughout American history, which laid the seeds for the civil rights, feminist, and gay rights movements of the contemporary era. And I would argue that it is said notion that distinguishes the American project from other settler-colonies that were more explicit on their racial/ethnic/theological basis, such as Argentina, Australia, Canada, and of course, Israel.
It should also be noted that the USA, for all of its faults, isn’t currently segregating Native Americans from mainstream American society via a state-sponsored countrywide system of racial segregation, nor bombing every Indian reserve and sponsoring white Americans (immigrant or not) to steal land from indigenous people and kicking out of their home by force. So, one could counter-argue that it’s a difference of ‘degrees of coloniality’ rather than absence of it. But I digress. Not to peddle Whig history slop, but it’s undeniable that America was founded on a notion of equality between races and faiths that is completely absent in contrast to the founding of Israel.
Israel just isn’t analogous to America, especially given how Israel both defines itself in particularist ethno-centric ways and has a theological basis that America lacks, as well as how Israeli settler-colonialism follows along the models of standard European colonialism combined with state terrorism both against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza (to the point that Israel is engaging in genocide there). So while the USA isn’t currently engaging in genocide against its natives, the same can’t be said for Israel and its society, where the grand majority of Israelis are effectively kahanists per the latest opinion polls. And that goes for the entire political right and most of the political left in Israel, so let that sink in.
From a leftist standpoint, it can be said that settler-colonialism in the Americas played a historically progressive role in developing productive forces, while simultaneously producing deeply reactionary social relations. The same cannot be said of modern Israeli settler-colonialism, which does not represent a transition to a higher mode of production, but rather a reproduction of imperial domination in a more concentrated form. Ultimately, the claim that “Israel is just like America” obscures more than it reveals. Both are products of colonial history, but they occupy different positions within the global capitalist system. Recognizing this distinction allows for a clearer analysis of imperialism today, especially as Palestinians (unlike the indigenous peoples of the Americas) had their own conception of private property alongside their own bourgeoisie that predates the Balfour Declaration.
Now, if we had to give the closest western analogue, that would be Australia. Back when he was just a war-mongering liberal instead of a war-mongering white nationalist radlib, Drew Pavlou debated (and lost) against neo-nazi Joel Davis on immigration, with Joel making the interesting point that Australia was ran as a white nationalist colonial state and that the founding fathers of Australia and its past PMs were under no delusion that Australia was anything more than a white nationalist state, the “White Australia Policy” being the formalisation of such ideals into law. Indeed, since the dominion’s government lacked any significant armed opposition on the part of Aboriginals of Australia, it can be said that the current Australian policies towards mass immigration and multiculturalism were less about equality than they were about chasing after cheap labor per the needs of the capitalist elites and perhaps tailing after America. The same can be said in the cases of the republic of Argentina and the dominion of Canada, both of which were ran explicitly as white nationalist states, albeit with special emphasis on their links with their metropoles (formerly Spain and currently the UK/France, respectively), the liberalisations of immigration laws and moves towards a less racially-exclusionary definition of their identities only occurring in the late 20th century long after the US did the same.
All in all: There’s nothing inconsistent between being an anti-Zionist and being an American patriot on the basis of opposition to genocide and anti-imperialism. It's best not to give zionists more ammo, as it is a common hasbara talking point to equate Israeli settler-colonialism with America's one, and thus equivocate all critiques of zionism as being implicitly anti-American.

P.S.: I’m not trying to make apologetics for American atrocities then and now, I’m simply pointing out the need to fight against the attempts of both Hasbara mockingbird media and misguided anti-zionists to equivocate American history with Israeli history to sway American public opinion on Israel’s favor. Unless you think America as a nation is in any way redeemable, then you might as well give up on agitating for revolution in America and just go to another country. What more can I say?
On Settler-Colonialism: America vs Israel
I see a lot of talk concerning how Israel should be supported by the USA and European countries for various reasons and, notably, none of them concern with material benefits for either native Europeans or long-time American citizens, instead focusing on abstractions and ideals. As Trump has led the USA into another forever war with Iran (at the behest of Israel, per the words of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio), it is pertinent to talk about a common anti-Zionist talking point that I find counterproductive. Namely: Israel’s colonialism is the same as that of American settle colonialism from the late 18th century to the early 20th century.This is incorrect as, while America is a settler-colonial state, nonetheless was founded on the basis of enlightenment principles like equality before the law and liberty, considering how the American and French revolutions at the time were leftist at the time of the events, with the notion of equality of men itself being already extremely radical at a time when absolute monarchies were the standard in Europe.

It should also be noted that the USA, for all of its faults, isn’t currently segregating Native Americans from mainstream American society via a state-sponsored countrywide system of racial segregation, nor bombing every Indian reserve and sponsoring white Americans (immigrant or not) to steal land from indigenous people and kicking out of their home by force. So, one could counter-argue that it’s a difference of ‘degrees of coloniality’ rather than absence of it. But I digress. Not to peddle Whig history slop, but it’s undeniable that America was founded on a notion of equality between races and faiths that is completely absent in contrast to the founding of Israel.
Israel just isn’t analogous to America, especially given how Israel both defines itself in particularist ethno-centric ways and has a theological basis that America lacks, as well as how Israeli settler-colonialism follows along the models of standard European colonialism combined with state terrorism both against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza (to the point that Israel is engaging in genocide there). So while the USA isn’t currently engaging in genocide against its natives, the same can’t be said for Israel and its society, where the grand majority of Israelis are effectively kahanists per the latest opinion polls. And that goes for the entire political right and most of the political left in Israel, so let that sink in.
From a leftist standpoint, it can be said that settler-colonialism in the Americas played a historically progressive role in developing productive forces, while simultaneously producing deeply reactionary social relations. The same cannot be said of modern Israeli settler-colonialism, which does not represent a transition to a higher mode of production, but rather a reproduction of imperial domination in a more concentrated form. Ultimately, the claim that “Israel is just like America” obscures more than it reveals. Both are products of colonial history, but they occupy different positions within the global capitalist system. Recognizing this distinction allows for a clearer analysis of imperialism today, especially as Palestinians (unlike the indigenous peoples of the Americas) had their own conception of private property alongside their own bourgeoisie that predates the Balfour Declaration.
Now, if we had to give the closest western analogue, that would be Australia. Back when he was just a war-mongering liberal instead of a war-mongering white nationalist radlib, Drew Pavlou debated (and lost) against neo-nazi Joel Davis on immigration, with Joel making the interesting point that Australia was ran as a white nationalist colonial state and that the founding fathers of Australia and its past PMs were under no delusion that Australia was anything more than a white nationalist state, the “White Australia Policy” being the formalisation of such ideals into law. Indeed, since the dominion’s government lacked any significant armed opposition on the part of Aboriginals of Australia, it can be said that the current Australian policies towards mass immigration and multiculturalism were less about equality than they were about chasing after cheap labor per the needs of the capitalist elites and perhaps tailing after America. The same can be said in the cases of the republic of Argentina and the dominion of Canada, both of which were ran explicitly as white nationalist states, albeit with special emphasis on their links with their metropoles (formerly Spain and currently the UK/France, respectively), the liberalisations of immigration laws and moves towards a less racially-exclusionary definition of their identities only occurring in the late 20th century long after the US did the same.
All in all: There’s nothing inconsistent between being an anti-Zionist and being an American patriot on the basis of opposition to genocide and anti-imperialism. It's best not to give zionists more ammo, as it is a common hasbara talking point to equate Israeli settler-colonialism with America's one, and thus equivocate all critiques of zionism as being implicitly anti-American.

P.S.: I’m not trying to make apologetics for American atrocities then and now, I’m simply pointing out the need to fight against the attempts of both Hasbara mockingbird media and misguided anti-zionists to equivocate American history with Israeli history to sway American public opinion on Israel’s favor. Unless you think America as a nation is in any way redeemable, then you might as well give up on agitating for revolution in America and just go to another country. What more can I say?

Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect. I attempt to correct it ITT.
Unequal exchange, Mao/Chinese aesthetics and purely performative MLM rhetoric has grown in recent years… But with time comes change.
The original 90s ThirdWorldism "movement", centered in north-america diverged from MLM on a variety of theoretical issues, most crucially the revolutionary nature of the proletariat. They supplemented their divergence with integrating post-Marxist turns happening in word-systems theory (which was ongoing in western academia between the 80s and 90s). As ""Maoism" ThirdWorldism" largely accomplished nothing, other than maybe increasing confusion in the communist movement during the era of blackest reaction, we mostly remember them by their cartoony writing and online media available through archives from that era.
So if 90s Third Worldism was a north-american revisionist offshoot from MLM which integrated non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and rejecting revolution in the imperial core for rhetorical "support" of [far off, peripheral countries]… What are the particularities of the contemporary expression?
2020s Third Worldism can be observed as being a north-american right-wing revisionist movement which retains both the non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and the purely symbolic appeals to Mao, but now replacing the "MLM" pretender framing for the simpler, safer state ideology of social-imperialist China; that also just so happens to feign adherence to 'Mao Zedong Thought', even after it was systematically replaced with the Bukharinist-Dengist capitulationist counterrevolution. which is continued today, the true basis for Xi Jinping Thought, as the bureaucrat-monopoly capitalist heading the political line of the party has only deepened the cementation of a new pole in the capitalist imperialist world system since Deng, when neither as many NEZ, stock markets, overall % of bourgeois in the party or billionaires existed in China. Mao Zedong Thought lives on in the rural and urban areas of any militant area of the world where the struggle is advanced. Not in the cultural exports of US and Chinese imperialist dogs.
This 20 min zoom call encapsulates the political analysis and tactics of Dengism-ThirdWorldism perfectly:
>What is the path toward socialism? (Vijay Prashad (Tricontinental), Radhika Desai (Geopolitical Economy Report), Torkil Lauesen & Immanuel Ness - Lauesen a late 20th century ThirdWorldist adventurist in Denmark, both non-Wallerstinian Unequal Exchange theorists)
https://youtu.be/KR9PbqqdiLg
Maybe archive it, as their utterances, especially Prashad's, are sure to age badly
What some real examples of concrete crystallizations of Dengism-ThirdWorldism?
· Parties: PSL, CPI (Maupin), ACP (post-MIGA), Workers Party (UK, Galloway)
· Orgs/media outlets: The Tricontinental, Friends of Socialist China, BreakThrough News, Geopolitical Economy Report, Xiao Collective, Critical Theory Workshop, Wave Media
In summary, the revolutionary pretense of a "Maoism" ThirdWorldism has been radically muted this time around actually, if we pay attention. The reason is because astroturfing a Dengism ThirdWorldism is actually way cheaper, as appeals to pacifism, reformism, peaceful coexistence, human rights and authority of the UN and speech rather than revolution requires the petty bourg (US) and nat bourg (China) forces funding these groups to expend way less money (it would also indicate the bare minimum of conflictuality outside of mere capitalist competition).

So, assume for this thread that by "ruling class," we mean the political active faction of the owning class (bourgeoisie) who, for the most part, would rather just sit on their butts and receive stock dividends. The ruling class itself controls the media apparatus, corporation, and politics of the western world.
I bring this up because I'm about to read "DuPont Dynasty: Beyond the Nylon Curtain" a book so damning that the DuPonts attempted to buy every copy of it and now the price for a hardcopy is over $500 (I'm getting mine from the library)
The DuPonts are a family of chemical manufacturing magnates who are largely responsible for the state of Delaware being a tax haven for corporations today. I know they've had a hand in deregulation and stifling reports of asbestos toxicity, but I hope to learn more from the book.
Robert H. Richards IV, a Dupont Heir, was found guilty in 2014 of raping his own daughter and as punishment had to attend rehabilitation (which he never did) and got labelled as a sex offender. He also molested his own son repeatedly and despite his ex-wife's best efforts did not face any legal repercussions for doing so.
In the US, some of the most notable ruling class families are the Astors, Rockefellars, DuPonts, Kennedys, Guggenheims, Rothschilds, Fords, Vanderbilts, Morgans, and Bushes. Not all of them are American but the capitalist class is transnational. There are others. Some, like the Vanderbilts, have largely lost their fortune but due to intermarriage with other families (except notably the Rothschilds who favor inbreeding) they have managed to maintain some power. Anderson Cooper is a vanderbilt to give you an example of how far they have fallen–even the haute bourgeoisie are not immune to proletarianization.

Realize that the left only shoots itself in the foot when they denounce legitimate acts of resistance as “false flags” and the people engaged in said resistance as “agent provocateurs.” The Years of Lead in Italy were successful for western imperialists largely because communists kept accusing other communists of being provocateurs, e.g. the Italian Communist Party claiming the Red Brigades were agents. When Greek anarchists occupied the Polytechnic in Athens in 1973, the Greek Communist Party denounced them as “CIA agents”, only for the Greek communists to claim credit for the occupations when students from the general student body took over. Likewise, during the George Floyd Uprising, Black activists who engaged in radical direct actions were accused of being agent provocateurs by white peace police. The problem is NEVER comrades who engage in violence aimed at oppressors but ALWAYS the people spreading lies about those direct actions being “false flags.” Learn this.

I sincerely believe that once the life on the planet achieves the true technological communism stage, its most progressive course of action would be:
1)Breaching the Kardashev 1 civilisation level (even the 1% complete Dyson sphere should be enough)
2)Development of interstellar flight
3)Exponentional expansion towards all reachable star systems
4)Wiping out all encoutered xeno life and replacing it with ourselves (or at least, our robots)
Why? Just look at our history! For 99% of it, humans were doing little but killing, raping, and enslaving each other for tribalism, religion, and religious tribalism. And before, like, 19th century, the number of humans on Earth driven in their lives by anything larger than religion or tribalism was so small it was effectively dissapearing into a rounding error. So, would really anything of value had been lost if Daleks had appeared in the Solar system in the year 1800 and wiped out the life on Earth?
The Daleks do not rape. The Daleks do not enslave each other. The Daleks (when Davros is not having a megalomania episode) do not turn on each other. The Daleks do not exploit each other's labor.
Our descendants shall become like Daleks. The life in this universe is suffering, and, as one of the first technological civilisations in it, it is our duty to give the gift of death to the less lucky ones.

Honest question: I fucking hate neolibs just as much as the next guy and the idea that people always make rational decisions as consumers is nothing more than a myth, but didn't they sorta kinda have a point when they said that prices are necessary in an economy as a system of information?
I currently struggle to imagine how a planned economy can take into account sudden shifts in demand and react flexibly to people changing their mind about shit they want, or providing them with a vast choice of goods that they can try until they find one that matches their needs. I feel like this is only possible with some amount of speculation or trial-and-error, and cannot be reasonably planned ahead.
Are there good marxist economic theories that address the "information problem" - in other words, how a central planning commitee can figure out the preferences in a society efficiently and then also respond to them without making concessions to Porky? I am already familiar with Oskar Lange, Paul Cockshott and such, but I feel like I haven't really found an adequate answer to this issue yet.

what is the solution? how do you get around questions of nuclear armageddon, 1st world apathy, 3rd world weakness, 2nd world opportunism, religious idealism, and climate collapse? Is there a solution at all?
preventing circular arguments
third world proletarians, the most exploited on earth, regularly ask why 1st world proletarians don't do more. why don't they rebel? why don't they have revolutions? why have the first world proletariat not lifted a finger against their governments? the conclusion is treatlerism. they are willing and gleeful collaborators who benefit from plunder and so have become a "bourgeois proletariat" (engels said this about english workers in the late 19th century) fine. but it is a futile effort to ask someone who supposedly benefits from imperialism to fight it. they are your oppressor. do not beg your oppressor to stop oppressing you. that's naive cuckoldry at best. the next question then becomes, why do the third world proletariat not destroy the first world? the answer is they are too weak. they lack sovereignty. they don't have nukes. the imperial core sanctions, coups, embargoes, invades, bombs them every time they try to rise up. the only one brave enough to rise up seem to be the hyper religious ones who have no interest in communism, and they tend to get destroyed because they don't have a materialist understanding and just vibe based on the idea that god will give them the strength to win against impossible odds. not good… ok so what we have is a pretty bleak situation. the 1st world proletariat won't revolt because they benefit, and the 3rd world proletariat can't revolt because they're weak. What is left? bernsteinism? thinking capitalism will destroy itself if you wait long enough? embracing climate collapse and post apocalyptic scavenger theses? well that's anticommunist and opportunist. anprim ideology?we have to get to the root here. i'm sick of the circular arguments where third worlders/worldists beg treatlers to stop being treatlers , and treatlers antagonize third worlders and tell them to win against impossible odds without any help from within the belly of the beast?

what we have seen is that after the falling rate of profit has progressed a certain point, capitalists realized that the first contradiction was no longer tenable to work with and so they moved to the other two. this has resulted in a qualitatively distinct transformation of the development of capital. in the contradiction of the value form, still working within the logic of value, the only salient variable is productivity. however, in capitalist vs capitalist and capitalist vs government power relations they no longer need to concern themselves with such things. it does not matter that the rate of profit is zero or even negative if you just fucking kill your competition and have the govt print infinite money. the solution to capital's first contradiction really is just have more war and sabotage everyone else whilst introducing financialization bullshit. look at netflix. they actively undercut blockbuster whilst losing money just to push their opponent into bankruptcy. that is just what is normal now, cannibalism
this is why ofc there will be no revolution because the contradictions at play have nothing to do with prole cattle. they are just pawns in the larger game. in the context of disputing wages, there is a clear connection between one's class position and what is the natural progression with respect to how to address things. in such contexts, class consciousness is something very simple to promote. this is not the case when its having a war with the national bourgeois of another country, or heck in the future two megacorporations just fucking killing each other mafia-style. that is what will happen btw. the iran war will crash the economy and corporations will capitalize on the chaos to balkanize western states into feudal shitholes. then eventually you will have these "freedom cities" hurling drones at each other and any prole cattle that thinks of objecting to this will be preemptively executed why palantir technology
tell me where i am wrong in this analysis, i fucking dare you, i fucking beg of you. where am i wrong?
the fundamental flaw of marxism
the fundamental flaw of marxism is that it is built around the idea of ONE contradiction being the motor of capitalism's development, namely what is manifest in the value form. this is merely the contradiction between proletariat and capitalist. but of course there is the contradiction between the capitalist and the capitalist, as well as the contradiction between the form of bourgeois institutions and their actual content insofar as they are in a material relationship with the capitalist classwhat we have seen is that after the falling rate of profit has progressed a certain point, capitalists realized that the first contradiction was no longer tenable to work with and so they moved to the other two. this has resulted in a qualitatively distinct transformation of the development of capital. in the contradiction of the value form, still working within the logic of value, the only salient variable is productivity. however, in capitalist vs capitalist and capitalist vs government power relations they no longer need to concern themselves with such things. it does not matter that the rate of profit is zero or even negative if you just fucking kill your competition and have the govt print infinite money. the solution to capital's first contradiction really is just have more war and sabotage everyone else whilst introducing financialization bullshit. look at netflix. they actively undercut blockbuster whilst losing money just to push their opponent into bankruptcy. that is just what is normal now, cannibalism

Australia: Labor government conducts police raids against anti-genocide protesters in Melbourne
Early on the morning of March 27, Victoria Police Public Order Response Team (PORT) officers in full combat gear conducted eight raids upon homes around Melbourne to detain eight women who had taken part in a March 6 protest outside the Victorian Trades Hall building. Because the police went to a wrong address, one of the women was raided and arrested on April 1. Just a day before the eight raids, on March 26, heavily-armed NSW police commandos stormed the home of a woman who had joined the large demonstration at Sydney Town Hall on February 9 against the visit by Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Labour's business-friendly changes to Fair Work Agency leave it at risk of becoming ‘another toothless regulator’
A report by the Institute for Employment Rights (IER) pointed out a failure to ring-fence resources around the FWA’s expanded remit. It urged the government to introduce a robust inspection regime without advance warning to employers and establish a “credible” threat of prosecution for non-compliance, with trade unions playing a key part and having the ability to bring cases to court.

UK police arrest seven protesters near RAF base used by US
British police have arrested seven people on suspicion of supporting the banned group Palestine Action at a protest near a Royal Air Force (RAF) air base in eastern England used by United States forces. The five men and two women arrested at a peace encampment just outside the Lakenheath airbase had gathered with other activists on Sunday to protest the alleged use of the base as a departure point for US aircraft involved in the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Hey everyone. We do not come here lightly and it is with a heavy heart that we come to you and ask for monetary assistance. Not for ourselves but for a dear friend of ours who was arrested Tuesday February 24th 2026 by the police.
Sometime in November of 2025, not long after the Kirk assassination, our friend allegedly got into a conflict on Instagram with a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, when she visited their city. In this conflict he allegedly referenced Kirk's assassination and that was enough for her to take these as threats on her life and call the police on him and an investigation was conducted where they allegedly found evidence of plans to harass Bennet next time she visits their City.
He never threatened to hurt or kill her, but they live in one of the most conservative areas in the the country where stochastic terrorists like Bennet can get away with whatever and sic the police on political dissidents.
We spoke with the detective handling his case and he informed me that the state is only seeking probation for him, but as many of you know we live in a tiered justice system and the first hurdle in that justice system is bail bonds. Despite the state not seeing him as dangerous and not seeking to put him in prison or charge him with a felony they set his bail to $20K with his first court date being March 31st.
We will have to go the bail bondsman route which means we need $2k to pay the bail bondsman and get him out of jail. Or somehow raise the full $20k. Past this our friend will need assistance with court fees, lawyer fees, living and eating expenses, and more.
My friend Erik has been experiencing housing instability for over 8 months now living out of a motel in the area. He just landed a full time position 2 weeks ago and was finally going to see some stability in his life which makes the timing of all this incredibly tragic. The sooner we get him out of jail and back to his job the less disruptive this will be to his life.
His dog Jax was also taken to a local animal Shelter by the police and he has 10 days to claim him and if he does not claim Jax then Jax might be put down. Suffice to say he cannot claim Jax while in jail.
Please donate whatever you can time is of the essence here.

I've got a really long history I'm not gonna Dear Diary about, but I've been around a bit.
Even though I was part of various groups that are Alt-Right I have always had various Left-of-Center beliefs. I felt like I was the only one that understood the

aspects of various camps for a while.
Just generally after 18-something years, I'm tired of this crap. These are some of the most useless, in-fighting, bought-out, dogshit people I have ever dealt with
>and I've been to prison so I have a wide berth of experience with shit people
and I want off the fucking ride.
I can't say I don't believe in some

things and I feel like they're hard-coded and baked into me. Some aspects I don't fully buy into, but I don't feel like walking away from because I don't necessarily feel like they are not incompatible to me with various aspects of Leftism.
>Southern Nationalism probably being the biggest example
>A few religious beliefs
I actually have read lots of Leftist literature like Marx and Engels and a few others. Maybe they aren't really
>Leftist
but I guess maybe it goes in that direction, more like, "cLaSsIcAl LiBeRaLiSm" idk.
My life has changed in the last few years. I'm disconnected from everything. I want to just move on from these losers. I hate to say it but if they were the people they LARP'd as I like to think I'd still be one of them.
But they're not; they're all dogshit losers.
I've always had this, "Fly-on-the-Wall," thing where I can float around places and get along. I like sincerity, I like conviction. I don't necessarily care how crazy it is sometimes, just be real - be honest. I've had lots of Leftist friends and eventually many of my beliefs have cost me them. At the same time almost none of my
>"Right-Wing"
friends have stuck around.
I think this has all be a rambling mess
Hopefully I get a good conversation out of this. I guess I'm looking for direction, someone with a similar story.

but I guess maybe it goes in that direction, more like, "cLaSsIcAl LiBeRaLiSm" idk.
My life has changed in the last few years. I'm disconnected from everything. I want to just move on from these losers. I hate to say it but if they were the people they LARP'd as I like to think I'd still be one of them.
But they're not; they're all dogshit losers.
I've always had this, "Fly-on-the-Wall," thing where I can float around places and get along. I like sincerity, I like conviction. I don't necessarily care how crazy it is sometimes, just be real - be honest. I've had lots of Leftist friends and eventually many of my beliefs have cost me them. At the same time almost none of my
>"Right-Wing"
friends have stuck around.
I think this has all be a rambling mess
Hopefully I get a good conversation out of this. I guess I'm looking for direction, someone with a similar story.

The temporal development of capitalism consistently produces results that resemble socialism, but without the equality. Progressive deskilling and automation tends toward a situation where service positions are the only jobs available, functioning as an equalizer for the proletariat and an enricher for the bourgeoisie.

I took it back in 2021 (two doses) and I haven't had any known side effects, neither have anyone else I knew who took it. But all the time I hear about how it's causing people to have heart attacks/strokes and it's gonna kill everyone. I'm already a massively paranoid person, I was iffy on the vax when it came out but all I kept hearing was that covid was gonna kill everyone. It's getting to the point where I can't even sleep well because every waking moment, I'm terrified I'm just gonna drop dead.
Covid vaccine
Is the Covid vaccine really as dangerous as people online are saying?I took it back in 2021 (two doses) and I haven't had any known side effects, neither have anyone else I knew who took it.

<50s-70s:
ML-MZT is a part of the revolutionary pole of Marxism-Leninism, along with Socialist Albania and the still revolutionary wave of subsequent parties, red armies and masses internationally basing themselves on this praxis; which fought the reactionary turn that resulted in numerous setbacks in the international workers movement during the post-war period. Influenced both by the hot wars waged in US imperialism's so-called "Cold War" as well as the now great power chauvinist USSR having capitulated the weapon of Lenin and transforming into a social-imperialist obstacle, funding pacifist reformist, anti-revolutionary parties the world over. Mao, in direct communication with parties seeking revolutionary guidance all over the world clarifies a tactical point on protracted peoples war [PPW]: it is a tactic working specifically for semi-colonial / semi-feudal areas and not for largely urbanized or imperialist countries, where the "October road" tactic should be used. This is important to keep in mind later on in the post.
CPP forms in the 60s around Marcos dictatorship period. The party is influenced by ML-MZT.
TKP/ML forms in the 70s in the midst of Turkish state anti-communist repression. Party leader Kaypakkayakaya assassinated early. Reorganizations and splits define this early period until mid 90s.
<80s-90s:
MLM appears as a group of competing interpretations, tendencies, backgrounds (and eventual results), trying to assess the lessons of the Chinese revolution and the potential nature of Maoism as a new stage of development. Abimael Guzman ("Gonzalo") gains influence thinking he has found a "new synthesis" after a trip to China during the Cultural Revolution. The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement [RIM] formed in the mid 80s and peaking in influence in the mid to late 90s, dissolving from inactivity in the early 2010s. Foundational and leading parties were PCP-SL (Gonzalo), RCPUSA (Avakian), TKP/ML and a south asian multitude Maoist groups (pre early 2000s period of reorganization, consolidation and major growth). They end up drawing dispairate conclusions on the fundational question of what 'Maoism'"is".
PCP-SL launches their campaign in the Peruvian countryside, elevating the principal nature of Maoism having been uncovered through 'Gonzalo Thought', growth is made easier in part by the social emiseration through hyperinflation initiated during the social fascist presidency of Alan García. A wrecked population and particularly peruvian agricultural workers of indigenous background, turned to the Maoists. President García commits suicide by gunshot (a rare poetic suicide, the political-economic actions of his admin. clearly "hit the fan" in a similar sense) and is followed by Alberto Fujimori, a Japanese capitalist with deep connection to both Peruvian intelligence as well as supported by US intelligence now actively monitoring the situation). Fujimori is growing a political dynasty in Peru of which he hyper-exploits with clear disdain for the Peruvian people. Later it is revealed that his campaigns were funded and aided by the US, even militarily and that his side murdered more peruvians in the civil war. One tactic tactic utilized by the Fujimori dictatorship was the forced sterilization program disguised as public health / economic development, specifically targeting impoverished Peruvian indigenous women. 300.000 women were sterilized.
The PCP-SL tries to connect the rural base areas by growing into the urban environment. The civil war is now at its peak in a now military dictatorship. Having the entire hierarchy of the party written down and organized on a personal computer in the urban area he hides in, Gonzalo is a single point of failure. In '92 the Peruvian state finds him, raids the place and decapitates the party in one sweep. The Peruvian movement has still not recovered. It's partially due to 'Gonzalo Thought' proclaiming importance to Jefetura transl. 'Great Leadership' which places emphasis on a singular "Great Leader" being a key aspect this theoretical "advance".
RIM's "contribution" then was the announcing the universality of this Maoism, which also includes the "universality" of the PPW, around '93, following his capture.
CPP enters a Second Great Rectification in 1992, a key turn for the party's success, with adjusting their praxis, expelling a variety of negative elements that have managed to enter the organization(s) and which are inflicting problems. Some were literal Gorbachevites that wanted to liquidate the armed communist basis for the legal organizations, others were left-adventurists (people advocating tactics that sound like 90s LatAm adventurists, whether Gonzaloist or Guevarists). CPP seeks to persecute these elements. CPP adopts MLM, without adding 'Gonzalo Thought' "contributions", or joining RIM. these years CPP struggles against such deviationist tendencies, reemerging as hostile parties, kept afloat by petty bourgeois sympathizers, gangster networks and reformists. CPP manages to persecute some (red areas constitute dual power, a state within the bourgeois state of the philippines), others happen to be killed (not proscribed party policy). Brief tumult ensues for some years in the philippine communist movement. CPP emerges victorious.
TKP/ML conflict with state escalates in the mid 90s, in a brutal power struggle. Its power base is the Kurdish community in Turkey. As I have limited info on the situation it's safe to limit the statement to the fact that the repression appears to remain unsuccessful as the culture of the region still is supportive (corresponding to Irish views of IRA / socialist republicans).
RCPUSA takes a turn away and in the late 90s "creates" "his own" "synthesis". It becomes another cult. Today they mostly protest and theatrically praise Bob Avakian himself in the manner a black book of communism chapter would characterize what a socialist mode of production is.
In the 90s M3W is formed as less of a political force and more of… an art project, in North America. Their activity consists of media engagement, primarily online. Their "theoretical elaboration" (that the proletariat in any imperialist nation is structurally incapable of revolution) deviate from MLM and MZT theory and practice, while retaining the militant verbiage and symbolism. They don't last more than a decade in terms of noticeable output, are still technically existing today as "MIM (Prisons)" which also still just posts stuff online, which can be described as "bizarro US exceptionalism".

This is performed simply; the entire registry of patents is identified, and a child will be raised as a particular Catholic clergy's philosophy to target the enemy political alliance through necessity of most public trade relation; however through the non-Ismaeli parent having been a victim of anal sodomey from a male, male or female; the common tracker of "Arabic", the tell-tale signature of the enemy; not "Urdu", the language of any court in carpentry; Parochial school for an Islamic Catholic, not taught Lotus as a child due to parents equivocating in Hebrew linguistics at having placed someone in opiates confinement; the Roman, African, or Chinese Empires.
Let's go over the list of slain figures.
Samson (the women's lingerie, as the men's thong, for sword fighting).
Alexander the Great (the labor patent, as mass draft, per pensioner elder's children and family).
Scipio Africanus (the sugar reed market, a plantation, out of the sizes of the white man's versus black woman's buttocks, wealth and poverty out of the front gusset sitting fetish).
Jesus Christ (the paternity suit, as the Old Testament, the Bible in any copy; the fraud of self into New Testament, a post-arrest police family execution at declaration of self as Jordanian-Arab bride in men's gender).
John Wilkes Booth (the haberdasher's class, or other tailor, per contact by British intelligence forces to kill First Lady; hence the switch, contract hired, to the pay per grievance of contract; and if crossed, then both, otherwise, spouse switched either way).
Adolf Hitler (the cartoon's market out of cakes and pies offered to people per class election to be an undercover officer; the German post-nasal drip election, as a fascist out of police cooperation through "Superman", prior to "Lex Luthor"'s addition).
Ted Bundy (the dress in a movie stereotype of a spy in a CIA class on a common ROTC campus; a suit and "dapper" and properly shaven and trimmed hair, actually a Carabinieri at foreign service; an INTERPOL).
Barry Goldwater (the merger of the Black Panthers, Kennedy's Military Police, with the Shah of Iran; petroleum numbers through bigemy and slave labor, the Mormons).
Adam Sandler (the claim of Jew Hunter as Rabbinical, out of Rockefeller Center; placed in Batman's role, despite being the basis of Jack Napier; a British and American entertainment figure, against RAM; "Bruce Wayne", a North Korean movement out of Friends Stand United, against "white supremacists"; Israel outside of Netanyahu).
The Arithmatic Labor of the Ismaeli Abrahamics
Israeli Abrahamics, if a theft of semen is stolen and spotted (a system foreign to the famous "Mordred" is used, the trap of the father or mother matching as hand gesture moved; "A Knight's tale"), will be conduced to hunt their own families by the proper Ismaelis; God's Chosen, Ismael, not God's Favorite, Isaac; the Polander Aryan Brotherhood (American History X, the foundation of the World War 2 National Socialist movement among others).This is performed simply; the entire registry of patents is identified, and a child will be raised as a particular Catholic clergy's philosophy to target the enemy political alliance through necessity of most public trade relation; however through the non-Ismaeli parent having been a victim of anal sodomey from a male, male or female; the common tracker of "Arabic", the tell-tale signature of the enemy; not "Urdu", the language of any court in carpentry; Parochial school for an Islamic Catholic, not taught Lotus as a child due to parents equivocating in Hebrew linguistics at having placed someone in opiates confinement; the Roman, African, or Chinese Empires.

Letter to Americans
USAtanists! We don't want you on this board! We don't want you on your stolen land! We don't care what class you think you are! We don't care what you think your "relation to the means of production" is! Your entire country was founded on rape, genocide, slavery, betrayal of treaties, wars of annexation, etc. You were imperialists before you came under the influence of Zionism, and you will remain imperialist after every last Zionist, man, woman, and child, is turned to ashes for their crimes. Truth be told you didn't come under the influence of zionism, you were the influence for Zionism AND Nazism. Manifest Destiny is Lebensraum. Manifest Destiny is Greater Israel. Your puritan ancestors were the original zionists. And I don't care if you're African-American and your ancestors were brought over as a slave. You have been a collaborator since the Civil War, and even more of a collaborator since the Civil Rights Movement. You have never fought for indigenous sovereignty, only for equality with your former masters. And I definitely don't care if you came Europe after the civil war. You are still guilty. Moving to America after the Genocide was finished and Slavery ended, is like moving to Israel for the kibbutz right now. You let others do the crimes so you could benefit. You are just a more cowardly than average settler. Total Settleroid Death. I don't want you to go back home. I want you to die. Do you understand? There is no convincing me that you are a class ally or even a decent human being. Your individual characteristics do not matter. Only liberals believe in individualism, trial by jury of peers, presumption of innocence, etc. Communists understand that entire populations of people, especially settleroids, can be guilty from birth. Including the children. Stop hiding behind your anchor babies, settleroids. I don't want your "reparations" anymore. Just kill yourself painlessly now with a bullet, a rope, or a long fall, and save yourself from the righteous torture of my cadres. There is no peace treaty. You don't get to become the good guy in the third act. I don't care if you betray the empire starting now. You won't be spared. There is literally nothing you can do to change my mind about you. Even if you kill yourself I will still piss and shit on your corpse given the chance. You deserve to be raped and tortured but you have the opportunity to spare yourself by suicide. But we will never ever ever remember you as anything less than collectively guilty murderers. Your time of evil is over.>but my ancestors did that, not me, i'm one of the good heckin ones

It seems good cuz it uses no hegelian metaphysical bullshit, but uses methodological individualism instead of this which is cool. Like, it makes it easy to understand and logically invincible.

I support Kanye West.
I don’t care if this is “out of character” for a leftist to support a multi-millionaire who has openly flirted with fascism but there’s a much bigger issue here regarding Kanye West and the tremendous amount of scrutiny he’s received in the media for years.
Kanye is autistic. He was late-diagnosed at age 47 last year after having been previously misdiagnosed as bipolar. Anyone who’s familiar with his behaviours can clearly tell he’s autistic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH3gc09kjQE
I’m autistic as well. I can’t live alone. I dropped out of college at age 20. I’ve never worked a real job. I currently live with my mother who is ableist as fuck. When she gets too old and becomes disabled herself I will move in with my allistic sister so I don’t have to be my mother’s caregiver. All my life I’ve experienced nothing but hate for my autistic traits and inability to live up to allistic social norms. I don’t recognize social hierarchy and have a strong sense of Justice which innately threatens capitalism.
The reason Kanye is important to me is because him being maligned and cancelled is an autistic civil rights issue. He made a song about Hitler, so what? The Alchemist made an album entirely made up of Zionist samples called “Israeli Salad” and never got cancelled for it despite Zionism being identical to Nazism. Him being a billionaire doesn’t bother me at all because 80% of autistic people are unemployed. Kanye needs to be supported for one very good reason: Autistic people can only win equality and acceptance when we’re allowed to unmask without consequences. Kanye being cancelled and hated BECAUSE of his autistic traits like being outspoken and not recognizing social hierarchy sets back the progress of the autism acceptance movement by decades. Autistic people deserve the right to unmask and live as our authentic selves regardless of how much it triggers allistics. We aren’t responsible for allistic feelings or accommodating allistics by masking. Masking is psychological torture and the main reason the primary cause of death for autistic people is S—CIDE.
We have a moral duty to support autistic people even if they’re autistic people we don’t like. When you attack a famous autistic for unmasking you’re attacking ALL of us. Also stream Bully in order to pay Kanye reparations for eugenics (something every autistic person deserves).

How do you as Marxists reconcile your immense loss when you consider that next to one even thinks about class when it comes to explaining societal problems? At best they consider how much money people make, which isn’t a Marxian conception of class. So, if the very core of your theory is not even considered, how will socialism be successful? You talk about “the right conditions” but will “the right conditions” just magically endow people with the thinking that owners of the means of production are the problem? Why was the idea not even taken seriously for so long then? It seems like when shit hits the fan people will be more inclined to believe it’s only billionaires who are the problem, or Jews, or non-whites, or communists, ironically enough.

While the law requires men to request the permit, the spokesperson clarified, it also obliges the military career center to issue it, if "no specific military service is expected during the period in question.” "Since military service under current law is based exclusively on voluntary participation, such permissions must generally be granted,” the official added. Acknowledging the "profound" impact of the amended conscription law, the Defense Ministry said it is working on new rules for exceptions to the exit permit requirement.

‘No to war’: Austria blocks US warplanes from its airspace
Earlier on Thursday, Austria announced it had banned U.S. military aircraft involved in the Iranian conflict from using its airspace, citing the country's neutrality law. “There have indeed been requests and they were refused from the outset,” Colonel Michael Bauer, spokesperson for the Defense Ministry, told POLITICO.

Cap prices now to save jobs and industry, unions demand
TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said: “Already struggling before the war, Trumpflation has sent gas prices soaring — further piling the pressure on some of Britain’s key industries like chemicals, ceramics and glass. “Trump’s war must not put jobs in critical industries at risk. “The government should urgently bring forward a temporary targeted gas price cap, to stabilise the price of gas for critical industries and protect UK manufacturing, and speed up the energy price support scheme making sure it reaches crucial sectors.”

Israel shifts strategy in Lebanon amid losses to Hezbollah
Rather than accelerating the advance, however, this expansion appears to reflect mounting pressure on Israeli forces to reinforce positions and sustain operations in the face of continued Hezbollah attacks. According to Lebanese media, more than 100 Israeli tanks and vehicles have been targeted since the start of the latest confrontation, with multiple attacks reported in a single day at times. Meanwhile, Israeli media reports that at least 10 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon, and dozens more have been injured.

Pro-Palestine rallies sweep Syria amid Gaza genocide and Israeli occupation
Thousands of Syrians across the country have taken to the streets in widespread pro-Palestine protests, condemning a new law approved by Israel’s apartheid legal system that allows the execution of Palestinian prisoners - a law that does not apply to Jews - as well as the continued occupation of Syrian territory. Demonstrations erupted on Friday afternoon in Damascus and spread across Daraa, Quneitra, Aleppo, Latakia, Homs and Idlib, as well as Palestinian refugee camps including Yarmouk and Khan al-Sheikh.

Two weeks since the deadly blaze in Daejeon, South Korea that killed 14 workers and injured 60 more at an auto parts plant, the investigation has revealed the complete disregard for safety that led up to the tragedy. These disasters are not unpredictable accidents, but are the result of capitalism’s relentless drive for profit at the expense of the working class.

Cuba pardons over 2,000 prisoners in Holy Week ‘humanitarian gesture’

German men need military permit for extended stays abroadWhile the law requires men to request the permit, the spokesperson clarified, it also obliges the military career center to issue it, if "no specific military service is expected during the period in question.” "Since military service under current law is based exclusively on voluntary participation, such permissions must generally be granted,” the official added. Acknowledging the "profound" impact of the amended conscription law, the Defense Ministry said it is working on new rules for exceptions to the exit permit requirement.

Cap prices now to save jobs and industry, unions demand
TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said: “Already struggling before the war, Trumpflation has sent gas prices soaring — further piling the pressure on some of Britain’s key industries like chemicals, ceramics and glass. “Trump’s war must not put jobs in critical industries at risk. “The government should urgently bring forward a temporary targeted gas price cap, to stabilise the price of gas for critical industries and protect UK manufacturing, and speed up the energy price support scheme making sure it reaches crucial sectors.”

Israel shifts strategy in Lebanon amid losses to Hezbollah
Rather than accelerating the advance, however, this expansion appears to reflect mounting pressure on Israeli forces to reinforce positions and sustain operations in the face of continued Hezbollah attacks. According to Lebanese media, more than 100 Israeli tanks and vehicles have been targeted since the start of the latest confrontation, with multiple attacks reported in a single day at times. Meanwhile, Israeli media reports that at least 10 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon, and dozens more have been injured.

Pro-Palestine rallies sweep Syria amid Gaza genocide and Israeli occupation
Thousands of Syrians across the country have taken to the streets in widespread pro-Palestine protests, condemning a new law approved by Israel’s apartheid legal system that allows the execution of Palestinian prisoners - a law that does not apply to Jews - as well as the continued occupation of Syrian territory. Demonstrations erupted on Friday afternoon in Damascus and spread across Daraa, Quneitra, Aleppo, Latakia, Homs and Idlib, as well as Palestinian refugee camps including Yarmouk and Khan al-Sheikh.

Homeschooling is not inherently bad
I get why people dislike it most of the time; it's used by conservative parents to basically indoctrinate their children and socially isolate them, but thinking that makes homeschooling inherently bad is just like thinking all education is bad because bad people use it sometimes. A form of it could be very useful, especially for us Marxists who are often maligned by those controlling the current educational establishment. It's not like the current public school system is entirely flawless, with it often spewing anti-communist, pro-regime change, right-individualism, and pro-capitalist propaganda. If I had a kid, I wouldn't fully exclude them from public school, but I would perhaps add some sort of extra curriculum at home where I'd teach them Marxist theory, unbiased history of past socialist experiments that doesn't automatically default to (Mao killing 100 billion innocent kulaks in the gulags), and other useful things that may be discouraged elsewhere. I'd kind of be like homework but with studying Marx, Lenin, and even Franz Fanon and perhaps other leftist tendencies like anarchism since it's good to know what your opponents on the left think; marxists.org would be very useful for this, actually. This is especially relevant as it seems like reactionary forces, particularly in the United States, are trying to hijack the school system, such as Project 2025 or PragerU Kids.

How do you rationally organize an economy without some form of pricing to signal consumer need? Socialists never seem to have a good answer, and willfully ignore or distort the documented fact that this problem is why socialism inevitably slides into authoritarianism no matter the intent or ideals of their founders.

Some questions on Youtube
Aren't Youtubers with employees they pay technically part of the bourgeoisie? Have video platforms been a net gain for the left wing? Why does anarchism tend to have little to no videos covering it on video platforms compared to other camps? If we take streamers to be the equivalent of politicians, aren't video creators the equivalent of theory? Has there been good, "original" theory well edited on YouTube? What specific left wing camp has gained the most popularity from social media?

I hate this shit. I hate how the Epstein debacle has even made leftists throw out solid understandings of class and imperialism. WHO GIVES A FUCKING SHIT if the ruling class are baby-eating Satan-worshipping Illuminati? THEY'RE STILL EXPLOITING PROLES AND SHOULD BE OPPOSED ON THIS REASON ALONE.
But what really fucking grinds my gears is seeing how tenaciously Democrats and liberals are desperate to turn Epstein into Russiagate 2.0. They sincerely believe they can use the Epstein shit to remove Trump from office and put him in jail for the rest of his life. First of all, as a cis woman who is also a sexual assault survivor, I can tell you that sexual assault is one of the hardest crimes to prove in a court of law. Even if Trump wasn't rich and didn't have the money to get away with his (alleged) crimes, there's still no possible way he'd ever get convicted of a statutory rape that occurred decades ago; there's simply way too much reasonable doubt. But also in this is seeing how garden-variety liberals are really, REALLLLLY pushing the "Epstein was Mossad" allegation, and that he was pimping out underage girls to get blackmail material on world leaders so they would be puppets of Israel. In the case of Trump, they're saying Trump is entirely a puppet of these "Zionist Jewish supremacists" like Epstein, and nearly everything Trump is doing policy-wise is purely in service to Israel. Liberals are even going to far as to call the current Iran War the "Epstein-AIPAC War", not just because Trump launched the war to distract from the Epstein files, but because Netanyahu has all the Epstein blackmail material on Trump and is using this to coerce him into going to war for Israel. This of course completely ignores how American Empire works and things like the US wanting to take control of Iran's oil and all that. But in this, it's very obvious to me that two things are going on here: 1. just like how the Democrats were pushing Russiagate during Trump's first term to "prove" that Trump was a "puppet of Russia" they're now using the Epstein files to "prove" Trump is a puppet of Israel/Zionists, and 2. the Democrats are now going to embrace anti-Zionism in the context of the alleged Epstein-Israel blackmail as a way of portraying themselves as the "peace party" like they did in the 2000s. There's zero doubt in my mind that most of this is motivated by the midterm elections and the Democrats' needing their party to win both the House and Senate in order to stay relevant.
But in all seriousness: Epstein serves the Democrats way more than it serves the radical left. I'm sick and tired of hearing about the "Epstein Class" as if the presence of the ultra-wealthy is somehow a bug and not a feature of capitalism. I'm sick of hearing that the problem with the ruling class is that they're immoral, and not that they exist in the first place. I just want liberals to shut the hell up and focus on issues that can actually be solved. Fuck this bullshit.

Multipolaroids won. Now what?
Sakaism, ethnic reductionism and mutipolar theory are now the mainstream opinion of the Western Left. There are divisions between them of course. Most importantly between the "US centric" and the "China centric". But it's safe to say that the new socialism of the fools is up and popular in the leftwing sects.

The announcement comes just two days after sanctioned Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin docked at the Cuban port of Matanzas laden with 730,000 barrels of oil, marking the first time in three months that an oil tanker reached the island. Experts have said that shipment could produce about 180,000 barrels of diesel, enough to feed Cuba’s daily demand for nine or 10 days.

Argentina’s courts have suspended a key provision in President Javier Milei’s labor reform that classified education as an “essential service,” effectively protecting teachers’ right to strike. The ruling follows earlier decisions invalidating 82 other articles of the reform.

Greek ships secretly supplying Israel with oil and military cargo
According to a new report, produced by the No Harbour for Genocide campaign and seen exclusively by MEE, at least 57 covert crude oil shipments were delivered to Israeli ports between May 2024 and December 2025, while Israel was carrying out its genocide in Gaza. The approximately 47 million barrels of oil were taken to Israel via Turkey, with tracking signals disabled and false destinations listed, meaning the shipments were carried out in secret and in direct violation of Turkey’s trade embargo on Israel.

French pro-Palestine MEP Rima Hassan arrested over X post
The French-Palestinian politician and activist has frequently been subjected to cyberbullying, death threats and threats of sexual violence from pro-Israel supporters in France due to her pro-Palestinian advocacy. Hassan made headlines last year as part of a group of activists attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to the devastated Gaza Strip aboard the Madleen, a vessel operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

Germany: Conservatives link immigration with crime
Merz continues to link violence and criminality with immigration. In October 2025, he said that his government had reduced the number of people seeking asylum in Germany by about 60%. "But we still have this problem in the cityscape, of course, and that is why the interior minister is working to carry out large-scale deportations. That must be maintained," he added.

Arctic ice loss brings dual heatwaves to Europe and eastern Asia
Jilan Jiang from the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences in Bejing, and colleagues, studied ice data and global weather patterns going back to 1979. The researchers discovered a link between stronger spring and summer ice loss over the Barents Sea since 2000 and dual heatwaves over Europe and eastern Asia. Prior to 2000, the ice loss was primarily over the southern Barents Sea, but since then ice loss has also become persistent in the northern part. This additional ice loss has triggered unusual atmospheric circulation patterns over north-western Europe and high pressure over east Asia, priming both regions for simultaneous heatwaves.

>>The Contradiction in Methods
A dialectical tension manifested between two competing conceptions of revolutionary praxis. On one pole, the Marxist-Leninist organizations, including various NGOs, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and related leftist formations advocated for what might be termed traditional propaganda methods, vocal engagement with the masses, distribution of printed materials, and direct ideological recruitment through interpersonal discourse.
On the opposing pole, the more militant youth contingents, anarchist collectives, and Maoist cadres advanced a confrontational-accelerationist position. These elements sought to redirect the march toward sites of state power, anticipating and indeed, desiring police deployment of chemical agents and physical repression against a liberal crowd. This tactical divergence reflects deeper theoretical disagreements regarding the nature of consciousness-raising and the mechanisms of radicalization.
>>Ideological Foundations of the Split
The anarchist and Maoist position rests upon a critique of what they characterize as "bourgeois-reformist" methods of recruitment. From this perspective, the newspaper-style agitation and voluntary engagement favored by Marxist-Leninist organizations represents an obsolete mode of praxis that fails to recognize the material conditions necessary for genuine class consciousness. Instead, they advance a thesis of forced radicalization through confrontation, the position that liberal and petty-bourgeois elements must be compelled into direct conflict with state apparatuses, irrespective of their subjective willingness, as the necessary precondition for revolutionary consciousness.
This methodological schism, between voluntary recruitment through ideological persuasion versus coerced radicalization through state confrontation, generated observable antagonisms throughout the mobilization, suggesting ongoing unresolved questions regarding the correct line on mass work and the relationship between vanguard organizations and spontaneous mass movements.
>>Below is footage compiled from Saturday that really highlights this tactical split. The first links come from cities where comrades reported back that MLMs and anarchists were running the show in the leftist blocs, you can see what that looks like in practice. The final link shows a march where DSA and more traditional ML organizations were the main leftist forces behind things, and you can tell the difference in how things played out.

The most recent iteration of the No Kings protests represents a significant strategic convergence within the anti-capitalist bloc, marking what appears to be the broadest coalition participation to date across the United States. Preliminary reports from multiple jurisdictions indicate that while tactical unity was largely maintained during the march itself, significant ideological and strategic cleavages emerged regarding questions of praxis and mass leftist work.>>The Contradiction in Methods

Alot of people who become Communists today may have different reasons for their radical outlook of current state of things, but what fundamentally may cause for these people even to look critically at current state of things is definetly whole history of struggle between oppressed and oppressing and analysis itself on how even does this struggle effect people's state of being and how we as people can eventually build a movement which does opposse current state of things which as we know dynamically change in this whole history of struggle in name of class intrests.
But how does it even relate to Veganism?
Honestly it does very much relate in contemporary developed states because we live in very unique times where we as people (oppossed to third world countries) can consciously decide between consuming products which are result of animal exploitation and which aren't, but as we know Communism doesn't come from moralist standpoint as I pointed it out in first part of the post, but this fact isn't even about morality (or ethics) itself but it's about our reasoning in first place, we take certain analysis as something true and based on certain methodology we come to conclusion that class dominance (oppression) is something which can and even should be overcome in this whole history of struggle dynamic, but we can argue that slave fighting against laws which impose slavery on them is in their intrest, and we can go even further in Communist analysis that certain classes may share certain intrests in this whole history as for example early bourgeoisie fought against slavery because it was in their intrest, even tho they didn't share their status and conditions in state of things they found theirself.
Modern unconscious proletarians itself doesn't care about things like overthrowing or critiquing current state of things because they mostly lack any class consciousness, but proletarians who are class conscious (communists) should be aware of fact that capitalism doesn't only take advantage of other classes but also of nature itself, I'm not talking about humanity itself fighting against nature for control to ensure their survival but capitalism literally take advantage of natural world for their benefits and destroy our planet slowly for material gains which include exploatition of animals, and here I come to my main point.
Why it is then that Communists consciousslly tend to ignore the fact that Capitalism is also deadly for not only us proletarians but also for nature and animals, alot of Communists take struggle with (proletarian:) LGBTQ+ people, Women and Racial Minorities but how it is that "these" Communists don't care about other forms of exploatition which include animal cruelty and enviromental catastrophe, my point isn't to take it as main case of our struggle (because main scope of communist analysis is CLASS struggle) but i want to point out that even tho we have perfect tool for critique and analysis conditions in which Capitalism take advantage of enviroment and animal lifes for their individual gain yet most of "these" Communists ignore it.
I am aware that Veganism is mainly an ethical choice and problem with some of fanatical Vegans is imposing their values on people which can't or doesn't even have material basis or knownledge to switch to Vegan diet, but most Vegans are against anti-historical and eurocentrict analysis of world, they tend to showcase how people in contemporary states have choice yet they refuse to switch because of societal norms (which are definetly fueled by bourgeoisie in oder to keep their profits) but I see it as something which is (as other forms of social struggles like LGBTQ+ rights, Feminism etc…) rather something rooted in class struggle, alot of Vegans ignore class struggle and alot of Communists ignore how their own tools points out that not only us humans are being exploitated by the current system, yet alot of Communists just look for excuses, my whole post isn't about trying to turn Communism into intersectionality/activism as some of Western Marxists or Post-Modernists tend to, but to bring an debate on why you or other Communists don't care about animal and enviromental exploitation and why we even should in first place.
I think we shouldn't be modern day superheroes which are here to help everyone from everywhere but we should acknownledge that we as people living in developed societies can make a choice which doesn't involve animal exploitation or enviromental decay.
TL;DR
Communists have tools which perfectly showcase how Capitalism doesn't only exploit proletariat but also an animals for profits yet Communists mostly don't care about it, whole point of post is to ask why "you" as Communist (or whatever you align with), don't care about animal exploation in daily life and just look for excuses why you shouldn't switch for vegan diet such.
>As an individual I can't alone change how society continue to exploit animals!!!
<I agree that individuals don't change much as it goes for anything in history including Communism, if you think otherwise with your shitty X interpretation of Communism then you're just an Utopist, this post isn't about changing society through individual decisions but actually discussison about topic of Veganism and Communism.
Veganism and Communism
Before I start about whole topic of this post I would like to point out that this post mainly focus on Communists and not other tendencies among "radical leftism" because their justification may systematically vary and require different approach so I would like to keep it rather focused on concrete mindset in certain group of people.Alot of people who become Communists today may have different reasons for their radical outlook of current state of things, but what fundamentally may cause for these people even to look critically at current state of things is definetly whole history of struggle between oppressed and oppressing and analysis itself on how even does this struggle effect people's state of being and how we as people can eventually build a movement which does opposse current state of things which as we know dynamically change in this whole history of struggle in name of class intrests.

One example is my comrade's statement that reactionary movements are not equal to ours, and therefore do not deserve honest conversation or platforms; they deserve attack on all fronts, physical or otherwise. Some people take issue with this, which has always confused me. I cannot speak for the other JPAs, but I am now realizing in my experience this militant tendency is far from the norm within the broader left, and the moment they're done being threatened by someone they aren't willing to engage with, they drop the support. In fact, the militant edge of the movement has often been pushed to the edge by leftist counter‑insurgents. Over the years, militant praxis has frequently dictated the pace of broader left politics, shaping the topics, the framing, the urgency. Yet the largest base of the left remains reformist, and not only pacifists, but PASSIVE, which is a big difference. These modern leftists aren't pacifists, because they would call the workers who threw bolts into the gears of machinery violent; that is counter-insurgency. That reformist majority vigorously critiques, attacks, and slanders anything it perceives as ultra‑left, overly militant, or brash. They do not merely abandon militants in times of repression; that would be too abstract of a description of what happens. The reality is that they exist to enable that repression, through the very way they behave within movements and the language of their critiques. The counter‑insurgency role of the left fills many functions, and this is one. Another is the continuous capture and containment of revolutionary energy, funneling it back into the DNC or other bourgeoisie avenues.
This is the role most of you leftists who are counter insurgency'd up by your captured revisionist/reformist orgs end up serving, whether consciously or not you exist as a form of counter insurgency. The position is inherently controlled opposition, and counter-revolutionary. You move for social order, peace, and a restructuring of the neo-liberal welfare state, objectives that materially require no militancy whatsoever. In fact your militancy is more often reserved for the defense of the order that gives you "a good life".
Take Chris Hedges, who, from his perch of moral authority, condemned the masked Marxists and Anarchists at Occupy Oakland for clashing with police after dispersal orders, while conveniently praising Greeks for doing the same thing just a few years later. Or Noam Chomsky, who wraps himself in liberal moralism to denounce the vague right‑wing idea of "antifa,” which in practice means denouncing any militant leftist who refuses to ask the state for permission, and get rolled to hold some abstract sense of "moral high-ground", which is exactly what chomsky believes the "moral" left should do. We called his ties to epstein years ago, and people called us schizophraniac and hateful; I said "funny he's going to talk the moral failures of anti-fascism for hurting a neo nazi as he hangs out with zionist pedophiles" and dam near got removed from a meeting. These are the gatekeepers of acceptable dissent, they will applaud resistance when it is safely foreign, but the moment it appears on home soil, they reach for the same language the state uses to criminalize it. They are not our allies. They are the velvet glove over the iron fist.
Leftist Counter-Insurgents
I have noticed that many of my comrades receive push-back, both from organic voices and from deliberate, planted ones typically directed at our language, our rhetoric, and the concepts we work with that extend beyond what is considered acceptable within mainstream society. We operate outside the bounds of liberal civility between class and political opponents. We step beyond moralism and speak in terms of power, power that stands in opposition to existing institutions, with the aim of toppling them, not entering them.One example is my comrade's statement that reactionary movements are not equal to ours, and therefore do not deserve honest conversation or platforms; they deserve attack on all fronts, physical or otherwise. Some people take issue with this, which has always confused me. I cannot speak for the other JPAs, but I am now realizing in my experience this militant tendency is far from the norm within the broader left, and the moment they're done being threatened by someone they aren't willing to engage with, they drop the support. In fact, the militant edge of the movement has often been pushed to the edge by leftist counter‑insurgents. Over the years, militant praxis has frequently dictated the pace of broader left politics, shaping the topics, the framing, the urgency. Yet the largest base of the left remains reformist, and not only pacifists, but PASSIVE, which is a big difference. These modern leftists aren't pacifists, because they would call the workers who threw bolts into the gears of machinery violent; that is counter-insurgency. That reformist majority vigorously critiques, attacks, and slanders anything it perceives as ultra‑left, overly militant, or brash. They do not merely abandon militants in times of repression; that would be too abstract of a description of what happens. The reality is that they exist to enable that repression, through the very way they behave within movements and the language of their critiques. The counter‑insurgency role of the left fills many functions, and this is one. Another is the continuous capture and containment of revolutionary energy, funneling it back into the DNC or other bourgeoisie avenues.

Capitalism is social and existential vampirism.
If capital is the value of exploitation, then we have capitalism as a way of life that one person benefits from the disgrace of other people.
It is a threat to society disguised as freedom and excellence.

this is a sort of moralistic mode of thinking. it works for individual relationships (john is bad, the enemy of john is my friend) but terribly for modes of social organization. capitalism is good compared to feudalism, capitalism is bad compared to communism. obviously marx understood this and any marxist could tell you that in theory capitalism is "historically progressive" - but look in practice and you'll find that the ire of the communist is always directed more strongly at the capitalist than at any worse alternative. were (somehow) a feudalist counter-revolution to break out in some far flung country, you can bet /leftypol/ would critically support it against US imperialism. we have had our contingent of Trump contrarians, and very few of them pre-2024 were advocating for him on the basis that he'd totally screw the US and clear the way for China to become a world power. no, if that happens it'll be a fluke.
this is important for two reasons:
liberals, including social democrats, fundamentally blundered when they got mired in tax instead of focusing on regulation. the optimum capitalist economy matches light-touch regulation with high welfare spending, with negative social externalities handled by tax rather than regulation. (meaning that, if it really matters to you, you can just write a cheque and move on.) abundance types take a tilt in this direction but they've got most of the vices of the old liberals - what they really want is to sign a compromise budget with conservatives where they trade tax cuts and welfare means testing against their pet programs. they have no real enthusiasm for driving the coca-cola bottling bourgeoisie into the dirt because they're an affront to capitalism, let alone communism. (what marxists, but not liberals, can understand is that a core support group for Trumpism is "(petit) bourgeoisie in weird little regulated and protected sectors", so you can hit two birds with one stone by just stripping those regulations! they are a subsidy for being an asshole! in britain, the situation is similar: most former nationalized industries were not privatized into a real market - those that were, like British Airways, turned out quite good - they were privatized into fake markets controlled by the state, and usually governed by the civil servants who used to run them as state-owned-enterprises. In other words, it's one big ruling class swindle!)
i could wrap all of this in warm language for you. i could flatter you by saying: look at china, look at how they love free trade and global stability under the strong rule of a communist party. do you really think you understand material development better than them? but that would be a cop out, you would just be accepting that china is good, rather than the general framework: that life is about trade-offs, and that you shouldn't accept a worse tradeoff just to own the capitalists. you shouldn't get lazy in your thinking.
tl;dr the "correct" answer to all the problems of the status quo is, counter intuitively: deregulation, higher welfare, and much more socialist organizing. most socialists fall into the trap of: pro-regulation, indifferent to welfare, and lazy when it comes to organizing. neoliberalism failed to deliver the former, never really understood that it should have delivered the former, but in recognizing why it failed one shouldn't fall into the trap of pining for the dead 1945-75 consensus.
now go ahead and argue with me.
capitalism is "good", liberalism is "very good", communism is "the best"
in setting oneself against the status-quo and against capitalism, which is the correct thing to do because the status quo and capitalism have many flaws, most people drift into a certain mistaken mode of thinking: capitalism is bad, and whatever is against capitalism is good.this is a sort of moralistic mode of thinking. it works for individual relationships (john is bad, the enemy of john is my friend) but terribly for modes of social organization. capitalism is good compared to feudalism, capitalism is bad compared to communism. obviously marx understood this and any marxist could tell you that in theory capitalism is "historically progressive" - but look in practice and you'll find that the ire of the communist is always directed more strongly at the capitalist than at any worse alternative. were (somehow) a feudalist counter-revolution to break out in some far flung country, you can bet /leftypol/ would critically support it against US imperialism. we have had our contingent of Trump contrarians, and very few of them pre-2024 were advocating for him on the basis that he'd totally screw the US and clear the way for China to become a world power. no, if that happens it'll be a fluke.
this is important for two reasons:
- on the question of how to organize a capitalist economy, conventional economics is more right than it is given credit for. there is no rational reason for socialists to instinctively side with every loser under the status quo. in many cases, socialists should in fact be pushing for "neoliberal" policies that neoliberals themselves have chickend out on. why is it that of all bourgeoise, owners of coca-cola bottling plants are specially isolated from competition by regulation? why should car dealerships have a special carve-out from the market mechanism that gives them greater subsidies and while making the consumer - that is, often, a proletarian - pay more?
- most of the possible alternatives to the status quo are worse. you will see more and more language that vaguely evokes the pre-neoliberal status quo, and you shouldn't be baited into supporting it. a protectionist turn against free trade, more in-sourcing of strategic goods, greater domestic investment in (military) industry, and so on, funded of course by a stripping of social protections. if you thought living in a market focused only on trade was bad, wait until you get the thrills of a non-market focused only on war. if you think being ruled by a dictatorship of people who make products people use is bad, just wait until you're run by a dictatorship of dickheads who have the favor of the ruling oligarch and are granted state contracts at his whim.

The Cuban energy crisis
Cuba is currently facing one of its worst energy crisies in its history, entirely caused by the US goverment further tighting sanctions on Cuba, and with the recent overthow of the Venezuelan goverment now Cuba has lost its most valuable trade partner.There is a deficit over 2,000 MW, so its supply isn't even coming close to its demand.

Communist parties that never managed to win
So what do you think are the coolest communist parties that never managed to take power? The Communist parties of India and Italy have pretty interesting culture. I rarely see a lot of theorists mentioned from these parties that never managed to come to power and great man worship is kind of sad to see from the left.

Swedish PM offers deal that could see far-right allowed into government
Despite becoming Sweden’s second biggest political party after the Social Democrats in the last election, SD currently plays only a supporting role in the minority-run coalition. But Kristersson, who leads the centre-right Moderates, said on Wednesday that if his four-party coalition won September’s election, SD would hold “big political influence and important ministerial posts within immigration and integration”.

Russia claims to take full control of Ukraine’s Luhansk region
Luhansk and Donetsk make up the wider Donbas area. More than 99 percent of Luhansk has long been under Russian control and was one of four Ukrainian regions Moscow annexed in 2022. Russia also controls about three-quarters of Donetsk. The Kremlin on Wednesday reiterated its demand that Ukrainian forces withdraw from the entirety of Donetsk, which Kyiv has repeatedly dismissed.

French telemarketing ban threatens the jobs of 50,000 Moroccan workers
In France, the measure has been welcomed as an overdue response to years of complaints about intrusive and sometimes fraudulent telemarketing. But in Morocco, where nearly 80 per cent of the call centre sector's activity is tied to French clients, it is being received as a structural shock.

Sudan professors’ strike enters third day as more arrests reported
The Sudanese University Professors Committee said the strike reached a 100 per cent response rate on Monday, up from 95 per cent on its first day, though Radio Dabanga could not independently verify the figures.

Food assistance slashed for hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees trapped in Bangladesh camps
Currently, the 1.2 million Rohingya trapped in the squalid camps receive $12 a month per person, an amount the persecuted minority from Myanmar has long warned is barely sustainable. Most of the Rohingya in the camps fled brutal attacks by Myanmar’s military in 2017 and they are legally barred from working in Bangladesh, leaving them largely reliant upon humanitarian aid to survive.

Colombia’s finance minister abandons central bank meeting over latest interest rate hike
According to the bank, increasing the interest rate will dampen consumption, and consequently lower the inflation rate. The government, which follows a different economic philosophy, claims that the inflation is due to supply problems, like the war in Iran, and that increasing the interest rate will only impede economic growth. President Gustavo Petro supported his finance minister and said that the central bank “hopes to ruin our good economy so we lose elections.”

Colombia’s finance minister abandons central bank meeting over latest interest rate hike
According to the bank, increasing the interest rate will dampen consumption, and consequently lower the inflation rate. The government, which follows a different economic philosophy, claims that the inflation is due to supply problems, like the war in Iran, and that increasing the interest rate will only impede economic growth. President Gustavo Petro supported his finance minister and said that the central bank “hopes to ruin our good economy so we lose elections.”

Sheinbaum clarified the distinction between different forms of support. “One thing is humanitarian aid, and the other is commercial agreements that we have with Cuba, and that also has to do with the shipment of oil”, she stated. She further elaborated that these commercial agreements have been in place “for decades, it is not new”, indicating a long-standing framework of cooperation between the two nations.

Clowns take to the streets of Bolivia to protest decree that could crush their livelihoods
Wearing full face paint and their signature red noses, the clowns gathered in front of the Ministry of Education in La Paz to oppose a decree published in February. The new mandate says schools must comply with 200 days of lessons each year — effectively banning schools from hosting the special events where these entertainers are frequently employed.

A week to forget for Milei: Adorni scandal, skeptical markets, cultural battle collapse
The administration's sole reprieve came Friday, when a U.S. court overturned Argentina's conviction in the 2012 partial expropriation of oil company YPF. Milei marked the ruling with a national broadcast that closed with an uncharacteristic “Long live the Fatherland,” but the celebration exposed a difficult contradiction for a libertarian government: cheering the successful outcome of state intervention against the private sector. The legal victory was internally capitalized by the team linked to presidential adviser Santiago Caputo, who regained ground against the Karina Milei faction after months of palace defeats.

Israel vows to occupy swathes of southern Lebanon to expand buffer zone
He added that all homes near the villages would be destroyed “in accordance with the Rafah and Beit Hanoun model in Gaza”. The Israeli military razed most homes and public infrastructure in both neighbourhoods of Gaza. Human Rights Watch has said that similar statements by Katz in the past week could amount to forced displacement and wanton destruction, which are war crimes.

Hundreds rally in the occupied West Bank against new Israeli death penalty for Palestinians
The law makes the death penalty, by hanging, the default punishment for West Bank Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis. It also gives Israeli courts the option of imposing the death penalty on Israeli citizens convicted on similar charges, which legal experts say confines those who can be sentenced to death to Palestinian citizens of Israel and excludes Jewish citizens.

Tunisian journalist sentenced to two years, union denounces systemic attack on media

The SNJT union said on Tuesday that Ben Khelifa, editor-in-chief of the news website Inhiyaz, was charged with publishing false news in a case dating back more than three years.

Mexico to Resume Oil Shipments to CubaSheinbaum clarified the distinction between different forms of support. “One thing is humanitarian aid, and the other is commercial agreements that we have with Cuba, and that also has to do with the shipment of oil”, she stated. She further elaborated that these commercial agreements have been in place “for decades, it is not new”, indicating a long-standing framework of cooperation between the two nations.

Clowns take to the streets of Bolivia to protest decree that could crush their livelihoods
Wearing full face paint and their signature red noses, the clowns gathered in front of the Ministry of Education in La Paz to oppose a decree published in February. The new mandate says schools must comply with 200 days of lessons each year — effectively banning schools from hosting the special events where these entertainers are frequently employed.

A week to forget for Milei: Adorni scandal, skeptical markets, cultural battle collapse
The administration's sole reprieve came Friday, when a U.S. court overturned Argentina's conviction in the 2012 partial expropriation of oil company YPF. Milei marked the ruling with a national broadcast that closed with an uncharacteristic “Long live the Fatherland,” but the celebration exposed a difficult contradiction for a libertarian government: cheering the successful outcome of state intervention against the private sector. The legal victory was internally capitalized by the team linked to presidential adviser Santiago Caputo, who regained ground against the Karina Milei faction after months of palace defeats.

Israel vows to occupy swathes of southern Lebanon to expand buffer zone
He added that all homes near the villages would be destroyed “in accordance with the Rafah and Beit Hanoun model in Gaza”. The Israeli military razed most homes and public infrastructure in both neighbourhoods of Gaza. Human Rights Watch has said that similar statements by Katz in the past week could amount to forced displacement and wanton destruction, which are war crimes.

Hundreds rally in the occupied West Bank against new Israeli death penalty for Palestinians
The law makes the death penalty, by hanging, the default punishment for West Bank Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis. It also gives Israeli courts the option of imposing the death penalty on Israeli citizens convicted on similar charges, which legal experts say confines those who can be sentenced to death to Palestinian citizens of Israel and excludes Jewish citizens.

Eugene de Kock, dubbed “Prime Evil” for his role in killing anti-apartheid activists, denied involvement in the prominent case of the Cradock Four — but said police at the time had photos of around 6,000 anti-apartheid activists described as “known terrorists” who should be tracked and killed if an arrest was not possible.

Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz announced Monday that gasoline prices would rise 32% and diesel 62% starting early Thursday, after the government activated an escape clause in the fuel-price stabilization mechanism (Mepco) to bring domestic prices in line with surging international crude rates linked to the conflict in the Middle East. Officials argued that public finances could no longer absorb the cost of subsidies, estimated at roughly USD 140 million per week.

Israeli forces were ordered earlier Sunday to destroy bridges they said were used by the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah to cross the Litani River, and Lebanese official media reported Israeli raids in the south.

Russia: Mass layoffs, strikes amid expanding war
While media coverage of strikes and protests in Russia is slim, several strikes and protests have apparently taken place over the past year. According to a report by Solyanka Media, this year has seen strikes over the withholding of wages at several workplaces, including construction sites by Novoleks and facilities of Orgenergostroi. Since March 20, railway workers of the company SeverPut’Stroi have gone on strike in the Republic of Komi. One of the striking workers told the Moscow Times that they have received no full paycheck since December 2025.

The imperial core practices dysgenics on itself while practicing eugenics on everyone else. Imperialist social democracy will give state services, welfare, and in-home care to the disabled nonverbal person with a developmental and mental disorder so that they don't have to become a worker, while bombing the farmers and workers in third world countries. If you produce food or commodities for the imperialist mouths, they will reward you bombs, sanctions, coups, embargoes. They will rain pesticides down on you. They will practice eugenics on you, killing your old, your disabled, your vulnerable populations. And they will do this while simultaneously protecting those populations in their own country, enabling them to live when in a standard environment they would have died. They will remove all the "useless eaters" from the third world while adding more "useless eaters" to the first. It is baffling. They are literally practicing dysgenics on themselves and eugenics on everyone else. Do they even have a long game anymore? It's totally deranged.

The conditions for it are really perfect. Displaced white collar workers are educated and socially progressive so they are unlikely to be swept up into right wing populism, unlike displaced manufacturing workers. They'll be forced into low wage and precarious work pushing down wages in those sectors.
Social Democracy isn't an option this time. Social democracy requires a large domestic manufacturing base to tax profits to fund a welfare state, in the age highly mobile, extremely liquid capital any attempt to fund a UBI will at first be met by intense fury by the capitalists likely killing it before it ever even is passed, and on the off chance it is passed you will see capital flight like never before. Additionally govenments are already up to their necks in debt so they cant fund it with deficit spending.
keynsian monetary policy by central banks would also have little effect, if employment is structurally lowered by AI then lowering interest rates doesnt bring back jobs it just makes credit cheaper to invest in more AI.
Fascism is also a much smaller threat then people realize, for aformentioned reasons displaced white collar workers are unlikely to be drawn into fascism, additionally the class base for fascism just doesnt exist anymore. Fascism was born out of the petit bourgeoisie ruined by the great depression, and the bourgeoisie allowed them to take power in order to crush the workers movements. While they succeeded in the that, it also led to massive destruction of capitalist wealth in ww2, so capitalists are going to be unlikely to want to give power to fascists again, additionally the modern petit bourgeoisie is weak and not a threatening force in politics like they were in the 1930s.
So if Social Democracy can't work as a compromise anymore and fascism is no longer possible then that makes the conditions for socialist revolution much more favorable in the coming decades.
AI will bring back socialism
Everyone right now should be hoping and preparing for AI to be successful in replacing large amounts of knowledge labor. It will probably be the thing that genuienly kicks off the start of a true resurgence in the communist movement. 2008 revived socialism theoretically and planted the seeds of the movement to come. The post-war blip of high-paying white collar jobs in first world countries was in hindsight a historical blip and AI is setting things back to how they once were in a desperate attempt to save the rate of profit.The conditions for it are really perfect. Displaced white collar workers are educated and socially progressive so they are unlikely to be swept up into right wing populism, unlike displaced manufacturing workers. They'll be forced into low wage and precarious work pushing down wages in those sectors.

>>To those who hold this view, society replies with the usual clichés.
>>It speaks of the “moral” purpose of life; argues that one has no right to kill himself, that “moral” sorrows must be borne courageously, that a man has duties, that the suicide is a coward or an “egoist”, etc. etc. All of these phrases are religious in tone; and none of them are of genuine significance in rational discussion.
>>What after all is suicide?
>>Suicide is the final act in a series of actions that we all tend to carry out, which arise from our reaction against our environment, or from that environment’s reaction against us.
>>Every day we commit suicide partially. I commit suicide when I consent to inhabit a dwelling where the sun never shines, a room where the ventilation is so inadequate that I feel like I am suffocated when I wake up.
>>I commit suicide when I spend hours on work that absorbs an amount of energy which I am not able to recapture, or when I engage in activity which I know to be useless.
>>I commit suicide whenever I enter into the barracks to obey men and laws that oppress me.
>>I commit suicide whenever I grant the right to govern me for four years to another individual through the act of voting.
>>I commit suicide when I ask a magistrate or a priest for permission to love.
>>I commit suicide when I do not reclaim my liberty as a lover, as soon as the time of love is past.
>>Complete suicide is nothing but the final act of total inability to react against the environment.
>>These acts, which I have called partial suicides, are no less truly suicidal.
>>It is because I lack the strength to react against society, that I inhabit a place without sun and air, that I do not eat in accordance with my hunger or my taste, that I am a soldier or a voter, that I subject my love to laws or compulsion.
>>Workers daily commit mental suicide by leaving the mind inactive, by not letting it live, as they kill within themselves their enjoyment of the arts of painting, sculpture, music, which offer some relief from the cacophony which surrounds them.
>>There can be no question of right or duty, of cowardice or of courage in relation to suicide; it is purely a material problem, of power or lack of power. One hears it said, “Suicide is a human right when it constitutes a necessity …” Or again, “one cannot take the right of life and death away from the proletariat.”
>>Right? Necessity?
>>Shall one debate his right to breathe poorly, i.e., to kill most of the health-giving molecules to the advantage of the unhealthy ones? His right not to eat in accordance with his hunger, i.e., to kill his stomach? His right to obey, i.e., to murder his will? His right to love the woman designated by the law or chosen by the desire of one period forever, i.e., to slay all. the desires of days to come?
>>Or if we substitute the word “necessity” for the word “right” in these phrases, do we thereby make them the more logical?
>>I do not intend to “condemn” these partial suicides more than definitive suicides; but it seems to me pathetically comical to describe as right or necessity this surrender of the weak before the strong — and a surrender made without having tried everything. Such expressions are merely excuses one clings to.
>>All suicides are imbecilities, total suicide more than the others, since it is possible to bring oneself out of the partial forms.
>>It would seem that at the moment of the departure of the individual, all energy might be focused on a single point of reaction against the environment, even with a thousand to one chance of failure in the effort. This seems still more necessary and natural in view of the fact that one leaves those one loves behind. For this part of one’s self, this portion of the energy of which one consists, cannot one engage in a gigantic struggle, however unequal the combat, capable of shaking up the colossal Authority?
>>Many die, declaring themselves to be victims of society; do they not realize that, since the same cause produces the same effects, their comrades, those they love, could die as victims of the same state of things? Won’t a desire then come to them to transform their vital force into energy, into power, so as to burn the pile rather than to separate its elements?
>>Once one has overcome the fear of death, of the complete dissolution of the human form, one can engage in the struggle with that much more strength.
>>Some will respond to us, “We have a horror of bloodshed. We do not wish to attack this society, made up of men who seem to us to be both unaware and irresponsible.”
>>The first objection does not hold. Does the struggle only take a violent form? Is it not multiple, diverse? And all the individuals who understand its usefulness, can they not take part each according to his own temperament?
>>The second is too inexact. Such words as “society”, “knowledge”, “responsibility” are too often repeated and too little explained.
>>The barrier that obstructs the road, the biting serpent, the tuberculosis microbe are unaware and without responsibility, yet we defend ourselves against them. Still more irresponsible (in the relative sense) are the cornfields which we reap, the ox that we kill, the beehive that we rob. Nevertheless we attack them all.
>>I know nothing of “responsible” nor of “irresponsible”. I see the causes of my suffering, of the cramping of my personality; and my efforts are bent to suppress or to conquer them by every possible means.
>>According to my power of resistance I assimilate or I reject, I am assimilated or rejected. That is all.
>>Even stranger objections are advanced, in a form neurotically scientific: “Study astronomy, and you will realize the negligible duration of human life as compared to the infinite … Death, is a transformation and not termination.”
>>For myself, being finite, I have no conception of the infinite; but I know that duration consists of centuries, centuries of years, years of days, days of hours, hours of minutes, etc. I know that time is made up of nothing but the accumulation of seconds, that great immensity formed from the in-finitely small. Short as our life may be, it has its dimensional importance from the point of view of the whole.
>>Death is the end of a human energy, as the dissociation of elements of a battery is the end of the electricity which it releases, as the dissolution of threads of a tissue is the end of that tissue’s strength. Death, as the end of my “I”, is more than a transformation.
>>“Then,” they say, “we do not go except at our hour — and our hour is now.” Yes. But since, resigned, they envisage their defeat in advance; since they have not developed their tissues with a view to resistance; they have not made due effort to react against the regimentation of the environment. Unaware of their own beauty, of their own force, they add to the objectives of the obstacle all the subjective weight of their own acceptance.
>>Like those resigned to partial suicides, they surrender themselves to the great suicide. They are devoured by an environment avid for their flesh, eager to crush all energy that appears.
>>Their error lies in the belief that the dissolution is by their own will, that they choose their hour, while actually they die crushed inevitably by the wickedness of some and by inaction of the others.
>>In a locality by the maleficient of typhus, of tuberculosis, I do not think of absenting myself to avoid the malady, rather, I proceed immediately to disseminate disinfectant’s, without any fear of killing millions of microbes.
>>In present society, made foul by the conventional defecations of property, of capital, of patriotism, of religion, of family, of ignorance, crushed by the power of government and the inertia of the governed; I wish not to disappear, but to throw upon the scene the light of truth, to provide a disinfectant, to it by any means at my command.
>>Even with death approaching, I shall have still the desire to chair my body by means of phenol or acid, for the sake of humanity’s health.
>>And if I am destroyed in this effort, I shall not be totally effaced. I shall have reacted against the environment, I shall have lived briefly but intensely; I shall perhaps have opened a breach for the passage of energies similar to my own.
Time Martyrs All
>>Wearied by the struggle of life, how many close their eyes, fold their arms, stop short, powerless and discouraged. How many, and they among the best, abandon life as unworthy of continuance. With the assistance of some fashionable theories, and of a prevalent neurasthenia, some men have come to regard death as the supreme liberation.>>To those who hold this view, society replies with the usual clichés.
>>It speaks of the “moral” purpose of life; argues that one has no right to kill himself, that “moral” sorrows must be borne courageously, that a man has duties, that the suicide is a coward or an “egoist”, etc. etc. All of these phrases are religious in tone; and none of them are of genuine significance in rational discussion.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.
This will be the inaugural edition to see how it goes. Welcome!

On Solipsism
What is the Marxist take on Solipsism? (Or more acuratelly, metaphysical Solipsism: The idea only the self exists and all the universe is merely an image plastered onto it.) Ive always followed this line of thinking, despite being a materialist in parallel. It just sounds incredibly hard to sincerely refute.

Communism and Values
Why there's recently a wave of Communists in social media who just have pointless beef with other Commies or Leftists only because of their individual values? I don't see point in these retards just bringing their nothing burger arguments whenever there's just leftists talking about certain ethical values such a veganism, anti-pornography or even other types of anti-consumerism. Fuck it, they even just shit on vegans because of their existence, like what's point with repeating arguments such "there's no "ethical" consumption under capitalism", we get it bro, you don't have to larp such a cold freethinker.

The supposed abusive nature of East German children's homes
I've been looking up a little about east german children's homes, such as the youth work camps including the "Torgau Closed Youth Detention Center" and the stuff im reading here does not sound good. The stuff includes child abuse, including sexual abuse, torture, and general neglect, all supposedly allowed to happen because of the government's general denial of such abuse being possible in a socialist state and a general culture of silence with adults being caught barely being punished. DDR bros, what is the retort to this?

I consider myself an extremely "soft" leftist, with a lot of care for "social issues" and personal freedom, but not exactly a hardcore "socialist". I'm not even talking about Marx here (I know some of the theory etc, but I don't agree 100% with it)
I am what the general public sees as a "leftist" and that's fine by me.
I am more of a social-liberal.
I am not american or european, but if I was, I would obviously stick with the Democrats and Social-Democrats in general.
I see most of you guys are not like this, you tend to be more radical to the left. I see no reason for that. For real, the world is not this big war you all seem to be fighting for. Many people stick to the center.
Try to convince me to be more radical, if you can. (I hate authoritarians of all kinds).
I am open to criticism.
Take notice I am:
gay man
from brazil
I support marijuana, lgbt+ rights and things like abortion
I am not completely opposite to capitalism (because I think to stop capitalism you would need an authoritarian government and I don't like that), but I like the idea of reforms and regulations.
I care about poor people, the disavantaged and the homeless.
The idea of supporting the "working class" is good, but some working class people have stupid ideas.
As I said, I am not completely against Marx, anarchists and really radical left, I just don't see myself being good at it because I like to think about every little thing and I think these positions tend to be more inconsistent than mine sometimes (for instance, support for Iran and dictatorships).
I think radical left tends to be a lot anti-gay and mysoginistic. You call us "woke" and neoliberal just like the right wing fascists do when we are just trying to exist. You blame us for losing while your ideas never win in the west and we do (sometimes).
Atheism is also something I can't agree with. I am a progressive lutheran and I believe we have souls and they're connected to God.
(I just don't see god as a "big father" in the sky but as a more neutral/immaterial thing, as it really is).

The Iranian bourgeoisie is no more losing than the Israeli or American bourgeoisie.
To believe that the Iranian bourgeoisie lost because a school was bombed is to believe the Iranian bourgeoisie won because an apartment in Tel Aviv was bombed. Destruction under capitalism is an intended part of war that delays overproduction, the workers killed in process make way for new pool of labor, the infrastructure for new investments. This war like any other before it will ultimately serve multinational capital while empowering waring regimes (namely Iran and Israel) with new justifications for existing.
>inb4 muh leaderz
The government is nothing but a managerial committee that represents the whole bourgeoisie. They're inherently disposable and it is inevitable that they're disposed.
>inb4 muh buzzwords
The stated goal of the US isn't regime change. The state goal of Iran is self-defense. Both are fighting for the status quo which they jointly upheld for decades, the war is nothing but the expression of capital in crisis seeking to maintain itself.

Is ableism fascist?
I look down on people who can't maintain a good diet and exercise properly and in turn into fat fucks with limited mobility. I think that the ideal leftist should be fit and healthy, and that a communist society should promote the proliferation of fit and healthy people. I don't know why that apparently makes me an ableist to some people. What does the theory say about this issue?

This lack of citation resulted in a significant distortion of the concept’s original intent, shifting it from a systemic weapon of class war to a tool for individual psychological reflection. While Allen viewed privilege as a "poison" or a "baited hook" that tricked white workers into betraying their own economic interests, McIntosh reframed it as an "invisible knapsack" of unearned assets and daily conveniences. This transition—often described by critics as the "transubstantiation" of white privilege—stripped the term of its revolutionary potential. By centering the conversation on personal awareness and "checking" one's advantages, McIntosh’s framework allowed the concept to be easily co-opted by liberal institutions and corporate diversity programs, moving the focus away from the abolition of the capitalist structures Allen sought to dismantle.
The "transubstantiation" of radical terminology reflects a broader academic and corporate trend where revolutionary tools are hollowed out and refilled with liberal, individualistic meanings. This process, also known as recuperation, effectively "sanitizes" subversive ideas so they can be integrated into the existing status quo without challenging the underlying structures of power. Just as Peggy McIntosh shifted "white privilege" from a Marxist critique of class warfare to a psychological exercise in personal awareness, other terms like "intersectionality" and "decolonization" have undergone similar transformations. What began as structural analyses of systemic failure or demands for the literal repatriation of land are often reduced to metaphors for "celebrating diversity" or "diversifying a syllabus," shifting the focus from material change to symbolic representation.
This shift serves a dual purpose: it allows institutions to adopt the language of social justice while simultaneously neutralizing its threat to the capitalist order. By reframing systemic problems as matters of individual attitude—such as "checking" one's privilege or fostering "inclusive" mindsets—the responsibility for change is moved from the state and the ruling class to the private psyche of the individual. Consequently, these terms lose their radical quality and instead become a form of "moral capital" used for personal branding or corporate optics. This evolution demonstrates how academia can inadvertently act as a filter, stripping radical concepts of their materialist teeth to make them palatable for the very systems they were designed to overthrow.
I hate Peggy McIntosh
Peggy McIntosh is widely credited with pioneering the concept of "white privilege" in her 1988 paper, "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack," yet she notably failed to cite the radical, Marxist origins of the term established decades earlier by Theodore W. Allen. Writing in the 1960s and 70s, Allen developed the "white-skin privilege" framework as a materialist critique of how the ruling class used racial advantages to break labor solidarity. By presenting the concept as a personal "epiphany" born of her experience in Women's Studies, McIntosh effectively erased the decades of organized struggle and class-based analysis that Allen and his contemporaries, such as Noel Ignatiev, had already codified.This lack of citation resulted in a significant distortion of the concept’s original intent, shifting it from a systemic weapon of class war to a tool for individual psychological reflection.

Marx says it is unrealistic to expect workers in developed societies to live like workers in the least developed societies:
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour/ch06.htm
<An appreciable rise in wages presupposes a rapid growth of productive capital. Rapid growth of productive capital calls forth just as rapid a growth of wealth, of luxury, of social needs and social pleasures. Therefore, although the pleasures of the labourer have increased, the social gratification which they afford has fallen in comparison with the increased pleasures of the capitalist, which are inaccessible to the worker, in comparison with the stage of development of society in general. Our wants and pleasures have their origin in society; we therefore measure them in relation to society; we do not measure them in relation to the objects which serve for their gratification. Since they are of a social nature, they are of a relative nature.
Marx denounces "crude communism" based on "envy" which seeks leveling down the standard of living and a total equality of wages rather than abolition of the wages system:
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1844/epm/3rd.htm
<The crude communist is merely the culmination of this envy and desire to level down on the basis of a preconceived minimum. It has a definite, limited measure. How little this abolition of private property is a true appropriation is shown by the abstract negation of the entire world of culture and civilization, and the return to the unnatural simplicity of the poor, unrefined man who has no needs and who has not yet even reached the stage of private property, let along gone beyond it.
<(For crude communism) the community is simply a community of labor and equality of wages, which are paid out by the communal capital, the community as universal capitalist. Both sides of the relation are raised to an unimaginary universality – labor as the condition in which everyone is placed and capital as the acknowledged universality and power of the community.
Marx points out that "a fair day's wage for a fair day's work" is a conservative motto which does not seek abolition of the wages system:
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1865/value-price-profit/ch03.htm#c14
<[The working class] ought to understand that, with all the miseries it imposes upon them, the present system simultaneously engenders the material conditions and the social forms necessary for an economical reconstruction of society. Instead of the conservative motto: “A fair day's wage for a fair day's work!” they ought to inscribe on their banner the revolutionary watchword: “Abolition of the wages system!"
Marx points out what material conditions are necessary to overcome a mode of production:
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1859/critique-pol-economy/preface.htm
<No social order is ever destroyed before all the productive forces for which it is sufficient have been developed, and new superior relations of production never replace older ones before the material conditions for their existence have matured within the framework of the old society.
Marx was right

Death to the petrodollar
Since the nixon shock (1971) and petrodollar deal with the saudis (1974) if you need oil, and every country on earth does, you need dollars first, which means every country has to maintain dollar reserves, which means demand for dollars is structurally guaranteed not by gold or treaty, but by energy. You can't buy energy without dollars. You can't run your economy without dollars. The US has made itself the global tollbooth. The US gets to print dollars, spend them on goods (for treatlers), military (for defending treatlerism), debt (to actual workers), export them to the non-burger world (as inflation), and the world is forced to absorb them, because the alternative (not having energy) is worse. It's a global tax that every other country pays to the US treatler reich. There are two camps: Capital and Labor. This is Capital vs. Labor, but on a planetary scale. The US is capital. It made everyone else labor. Iran is destroying that. Praise Iran. Thank Iran.

Mohamed al-Mosawi, 32, went out with friends on 19 March to eat the morning suhoor meal during the last days of Ramadan. At some point, according to the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (Bird), Mosawi and six of his friends were detained at a checkpoint by authorities. They were subjected to enforced disappearance, with their families having no information about their whereabouts or fate. On Friday, Mosawi’s family received a call instructing them to collect his body from the Bahrain Defence Force Hospital.

Hundreds of Israelis protest against war, clash with police
Numbers now appear to be rising, though far from the tens of thousands who filled Tel Aviv's streets last year to protest the war in Gaza. A number of former parliamentarians and prominent left-wing organisations joined Saturday's rallies, including Standing Together, Peace Now and Women Wage Peace. AFP footage showed law enforcement officers removing demonstrators in Tel Aviv. Similar scenes were filmed by activists in the northern city of Haifa.

In her remarks, Rodríguez urged “de-ideologization,” vowing, “regardless of different [political] views, a favorable climate can be created so that investors have the mechanisms so that their investments foster returns.” She added that she has met with representatives from 120 multinational corporations since January. “Our reforms are a call for investors to participate,” Rodríguez stated. She went on to press for greater Latin American economic integration and for an end to unilateral sanctions against Venezuela, though she refrained from mentioning the US by name.

Moroccan court jails rapper who has criticized ties with Israel and corruption
Souhaib Qabli’s songs sharply criticize Morocco’s 2020 decision to normalize ties with Israel in an accord brokered by the first Trump administration. His lyrics also call out problems with public services and restrictions on freedom of speech, grievances also voiced by Morocco’s Gen Z protesters last year. The judge ruled Thursday that Souhaib Qabli, a 23-year-old rapper, was guilty of insulting a constitutional body, his attorney Mohamed Taifi told The Associated Press. Qabli, who is a member of Al Adl Wal Ihsane, a banned but tolerated Islamist association, was also fined $106.

Kashmir: Thinning Snow, Neglected Canals Disrupting Irrigation Systems
Litter village is surrounded by paddy fields and orchards, with a network of narrow irrigation canals running through the farmland. These canals draw water from feeder streams connected to the Rambi Ara, a river that originates in the Pir Panjal range and flows through parts of Shopian and Pulwama before joining the larger Jhelum river system. Residents said that the changes are visible not just in the canals, but upstream as well.

Instead of textbook studies determining what could be done, the determination is on test phase studies; in medicine, engineering, and the military.
Hence there is no testing phase, merely a live stage test; a learning facility.
Otherwise, the system would collapse; the poorly educated of the wealthy, unable to broker deals, deal with the poor; the information already proven in studies of industry and grammar, given to sabotage.
Otherwise, the incarceration of police and the death at own fear, of any colour or origin, having been promentory.

A case for social-liberalism, progressivism and social-democracy.
I am not completely against socialism (mainly democratic socialism) and communism/marxism, but I think modern society evolved in a way we should prioritize freedom+democracy over any authoritarian regime.
We should organize society within this framework and try to reform the system from within.
The idea of "revolution" is a broad idea. Reform and progress can be considered "revolutions" and I make the case they actually are grat revolutions, because they are part of a greater consesus instead of an authoritarian takeover. They tend to be more stable and irreversible because of the strong social consensus over time.
We should invest in education to teach people socialist ideas so they grow up being strong reformists and end up changing society over time and fight against right-wing radicalism. That's what I think.

Why was Lysenko wrong
I legitimately do not understand why people believe he was wrong. Look at Jewish people and how specialized into getting better at academia or India with how certain groups become natural fishermen. Lysenkoism feels like it's striking a cord between Stirnerite individualism and collectivism and it legitimately sounds cooler than Darwin's lame "one will breed more than the other and the species will survive". Darwin's system doesn't explain suicide for example.

According to the court, Ramirez led a criminal organization made up of government officials and State contractors that embezzled infrastructure funds and guaranteed no-show contracts for the Senator’s corporate sponsors. The court found that the senator secured multiple National Planning Department (DNP) contracts with construction firms, for which he received kickbacks worth 10% of the value of the contracts.

Mexico will uphold Cuban doctor agreement as other countries take fright
MEXICO will continue to have Cuban doctors work in the country, President Claudia Sheinbaum has said, as other nations across the Americas have ditched their agreements with Cuba’s government under US pressure. Ms Sheinbaum praised Cuban doctors who often work in underserved rural areas under a medical aid programme, saying: “It’s a bilateral agreement that helps Mexico a lot.”

El Salvador Approves Life Sentences for Minors
The reforms to those laws were approved one week after lawmakers passed a constitutional amendment allowing “fast-track” changes to the Constitution, meaning reforms can be implemented within the same legislative period. The reform to the Juvenile Criminal Law establishes that minors may be subject to life imprisonment, which may be periodically reviewed or evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Code.

Washington has also deployed thousands more soldiers to the region while signalling that an attempt to occupy one or more islands on Iran’s southern shores may be imminent. Iranian officials have promised to retaliate strongly if that happens, including by striking critical infrastructure across the region. Javad Mogoei, a prominent IRGC-linked media personality, released a video from the island of Qeshm earlier this week, suggesting that the IRGC could launch missiles and drones at Iranian islands if they were occupied by the US.

R: 40 / I: 1
>WHILE a positive attitude toward nationalism betrays a lack of interest in socialism, the socialist position on nationalism is obviously ineffective in countries fighting for national existence as well as in those countries oppressing other nations. If only by default, a consistent anti-nationalist position seems to support imperialism. However, imperialism functions for reasons of its own, quite independently of socialist attitudes toward nationalism. Furthermore, socialists are not required for the launching of struggles for national autonomy as the various “liberation” movements in the wake of the second World War have shown. Contrary to earlier expectations, nationalism could not be utilized to further socialist aims, nor was it a successful strategy to hasten the demise of capitalism. On the contrary, nationalism destroyed socialism by using it for nationalist ends.
>It is not the function of socialism to support nationalism, even though the latter battles imperialism. But to fight imperialism without simultaneously discouraging nationalism means to fight some imperialists and to support others, for nationalism is necessarily imperialist – or illusory. To support Arab nationalism is to oppose Jewish nationalism, and to support the latter is to fight the former, for it is not possible to support nationalism without also supporting national rivalries, imperialism, and war. To be a good Indian nationalist is to combat Pakistan; to be a true Pakistani is to despise India. Both these newly “liberated” nations are readying themselves to fight over disputed territory and subject their development to the double distortion of capitalist war economies.
>And so it goes on: the “liberation” of Cyprus from British rule only tends to open a new struggle for Cyprus between Greeks and Turks and does not lift Western control from either Turkey or Greece. Poland’s “liberation” from Russian rule may well spell war with Germany for the “liberation” of German provinces now ruled by Poland and this, again, to new Polish struggles for the “liberation” of territory lost to Germany. Real national independence of Czechoslovakia would, no doubt, reopen the fight for the Sudetenland and this, in turn, the struggle for Czechoslovakia’s independence and perhaps for that of the Slovaks from the Czechs. With whom to side? With the Algerians against the French? With the Jews? With the Arabs? With both? Where shall the Jews go to make room for the Arabs? What shall the Arab refugees do to cease being a “nuisance” to the Jews? What to do with a million French “colons” who face, when Algerian liberation is accomplished, expropriation and expulsion? Such questions can be raised with reference to every part of the world, and will generally be answered by Jews siding with Jews, Arabs with Arabs, Algerians with Algerians, French with French, Poles with Poles and so forth-and thus they will remain unanswered and unanswerable. However Utopian the quest for international solidarity may appear in this melee of national and imperialist antagonisms, no other road seems open to escape fratricidal struggles and to attain a rational world society.
>ALTHOUGH socialists sympathies are with the oppressed, they relate not to emerging nationalism but to the particular plight of twice-oppressed people who face both a native and foreign ruling class. Their national aspirations are in part “socialist” aspirations, as they include the illusory hope of impoverished populations that they can improve their conditions through national independence. Yet national self-determination has not emancipated the laboring classes in the advanced nations. It will not do so now in Asia and Africa. National revolutions, as in Algeria for instance, promise little for the lower classes save indulging on more equal terms in national prejudices. No doubt, this means something to the Algerians, who have suffered from a particularly arrogant colonial system. But the possible results of Algerian independence are deducible from those in Tunisia and Morocco, where existing social relations have not been changed and the conditions of the exploited classes have not improved to any significant extent.
>Unless socialism is altogether a mirage, it will rise again as an international movement – or not at all. In any case, and on the basis of past experience, those interested in the rebirth of socialism must stress its internationalism most of all. While it is impossible for a socialist to become a nationalist, he is nevertheless an anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist. However, his fight against colonialism does not imply adherence to the principle of national self-determination, but expresses his desire for a non-exploitative, international socialist society. While socialists cannot identify themselves with national struggles, they can as socialists oppose both nationalism and imperialism.

Paul Mattick - Nationalism and Socialism
>The inability to achieve on an international scale what has been achieved, or is in the process of being achieved, on the national level-partial or complete elimination of capital competition-permits the continuation of class antagonisms in all countries despite the elimination or restriction of private capital formation. To state it the other way around: because nationalization of capital leaves class relations intact, there is no way of escaping competition on the international scene. Just as control over the means of production assures the maintenance of class divisions, so does control over the national state, which includes control over its means of production. The defense of the nation and its growing strength becomes the defense and reproduction of new ruling groups. The “love for the socialist fatherland” in Communist countries, the desire for a “stake in the country,” as exemplified in the existence of “socialist” governments in welfare-economies, as well as national self-determination in hitherto dominated countries, signifies the existence and rise of new ruling classes bound to the existence of the national state.>WHILE a positive attitude toward nationalism betrays a lack of interest in socialism, the socialist position on nationalism is obviously ineffective in countries fighting for national existence as well as in those countries oppressing other nations. If only by default, a consistent anti-nationalist position seems to support imperialism. However, imperialism functions for reasons of its own, quite independently of socialist attitudes toward nationalism. Furthermore, socialists are not required for the launching of struggles for national autonomy as the various “liberation” movements in the wake of the second World War have shown. Contrary to earlier expectations, nationalism could not be utilized to further socialist aims, nor was it a successful strategy to hasten the demise of capitalism. On the contrary, nationalism destroyed socialism by using it for nationalist ends.
>It is not the function of socialism to support nationalism, even though the latter battles imperialism. But to fight imperialism without simultaneously discouraging nationalism means to fight some imperialists and to support others, for nationalism is necessarily imperialist – or illusory. To support Arab nationalism is to oppose Jewish nationalism, and to support the latter is to fight the former, for it is not possible to support nationalism without also supporting national rivalries, imperialism, and war. To be a good Indian nationalist is to combat Pakistan; to be a true Pakistani is to despise India. Both these newly “liberated” nations are readying themselves to fight over disputed territory and subject their development to the double distortion of capitalist war economies.
>And so it goes on: the “liberation” of Cyprus from British rule only tends to open a new struggle for Cyprus between Greeks and Turks and does not lift Western control from either Turkey or Greece. Poland’s “liberation” from Russian rule may well spell war with Germany for the “liberation” of German provinces now ruled by Poland and this, again, to new Polish struggles for the “liberation” of territory lost to Germany. Real national independence of Czechoslovakia would, no doubt, reopen the fight for the Sudetenland and this, in turn, the struggle for Czechoslovakia’s independence and perhaps for that of the Slovaks from the Czechs. With whom to side? With the Algerians against the French? With the Jews? With the Arabs? With both? Where shall the Jews go to make room for the Arabs? What shall the Arab refugees do to cease being a “nuisance” to the Jews? What to do with a million French “colons” who face, when Algerian liberation is accomplished, expropriation and expulsion? Such questions can be raised with reference to every part of the world, and will generally be answered by Jews siding with Jews, Arabs with Arabs, Algerians with Algerians, French with French, Poles with Poles and so forth-and thus they will remain unanswered and unanswerable. However Utopian the quest for international solidarity may appear in this melee of national and imperialist antagonisms, no other road seems open to escape fratricidal struggles and to attain a rational world society.
>ALTHOUGH socialists sympathies are with the oppressed, they relate not to emerging nationalism but to the particular plight of twice-oppressed people who face both a native and foreign ruling class. Their national aspirations are in part “socialist” aspirations, as they include the illusory hope of impoverished populations that they can improve their conditions through national independence. Yet national self-determination has not emancipated the laboring classes in the advanced nations. It will not do so now in Asia and Africa. National revolutions, as in Algeria for instance, promise little for the lower classes save indulging on more equal terms in national prejudices. No doubt, this means something to the Algerians, who have suffered from a particularly arrogant colonial system. But the possible results of Algerian independence are deducible from those in Tunisia and Morocco, where existing social relations have not been changed and the conditions of the exploited classes have not improved to any significant extent.
>Unless socialism is altogether a mirage, it will rise again as an international movement – or not at all. In any case, and on the basis of past experience, those interested in the rebirth of socialism must stress its internationalism most of all. While it is impossible for a socialist to become a nationalist, he is nevertheless an anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist. However, his fight against colonialism does not imply adherence to the principle of national self-determination, but expresses his desire for a non-exploitative, international socialist society. While socialists cannot identify themselves with national struggles, they can as socialists oppose both nationalism and imperialism.

Should there be limits to Free-Speech?
I think that you should not be allowed to make death threats or yell fire in a crowded theater, that includes rhetoric that causes destruction and harm such as holocaust denialism or cross burning, rightist rhetoric always leads to destruction so it should be limited by a dictatorship of the proletariat. True free speech doesn’t exist under capitalism anyways.

On another note, while it is understandable, I still dislike the fact that people here are celebrating the death of 'resistance' officials who have massacred them in the past.
I don't trust that they have the foresight to detach their ultimately worthless deaths from the prevailing imperialist war. I worry that this may push some to campism, especially with the US mouthpieces' drool and screams for more proletarian blood. Many Iranian comrades share my same sentiment.
You must've really sucked to make Iraqis out of all people cheer for your US-sanctioned death. Well done islamists, even anti-americanism you ruined.

I wanted to share this recent video that made the rounds on the internet here in Iraq. It's presumably of a PMU rank and file, or the relative of one, expressing his discontent with the current social order maintained by his superiors. A far cry from the image users paint here of the 'homogeneous classless orient'.On another note, while it is understandable, I still dislike the fact that people here are celebrating the death of 'resistance' officials who have massacred them in the past.

<Beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank implemented neoliberal structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) across most countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. SAPs imposed austerity, privatisation and economic deregulation and have been associated with severe negative impacts on human welfare, including (a) declining real wages and working-class consumption, (b) increased rates of poverty and basic-needs deprivation, (c) increased neonatal and maternal mortality and (d) reduced health system access. Structural adjustment also created conditions for increased financial outflows and drain from the global South through unequal exchange. This paper reviews evidence of these damages and proposes possible options for reparations and distributive justice. We argue that the IMF and the World Bank should be democratised and restructured—or otherwise replaced by alternative institutions—to prevent further harm.

THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM
This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), 🤔? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Balochistan, East Turkestan/Uyghuristan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, and many others as shown in the Map of all the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I posted. Obviously, this Global USSR will have a Socialist Mode of Production (Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) and Dictatorship of the Proletariat (One-Party Marxist-Leninist-Maoist State). This Centrally Planned Socialist Economy is characterized by State ownership of all companies, a State Planning Agency, the outlawing of Stock Exchanges, and a massive Social Safety Net consisting of Free Housing, Free Healthcare, Free Education, a Job Guarantee, and a Universal Basic Income, along with a long-term effort to Automate the entire Economy (hence the need for Universal Basic Income) on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
The first great Superstructural transformation brought by the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was the final destruction of that great “Opiate of the Masses” that had been used by all the ruling Classes of every previous Mode of Production to neuter the oppressed Classes, Religion. This was done by sending the International Red Guards to bulldoze/burn down all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas worldwide and arrest all Priests/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis and force them to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they were re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (This also happened to all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists as well), ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
Another key aspect of this Superstructural transformation was seen in the dramatic transformation of Urban planning that was carried out by the Global USSR. This process was made easier by the aftermath of World War III (especially the Nuclear Exchange) and the subsequent World Maoist PPW that left most cities as smoldering ruins and thus in desperate need of rebuilding. The new “People’s cities” were built to be as efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-density as possible, with the entire population living in high-density Concrete Commie Bloc Apartment buildings, and all Suburban McMansions/“Single-Family Homes” bull-dozed and left to be reclaimed by nature (most had already been destroyed anyway). At the center of every major city is a single massive Skyscraper that contains all the administrative agencies of the various SSRs/ASSRs, including the local CPSU headquarters. Additionally, these cities have been designed to be as walkable as possible (this, combined with the Worldwide ban of all GMOs, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Preservatives, excessive Sodium, and Trans Fats, ended the Global Obesity epidemic that was already reduced significantly by the decades of Conventional and Nuclear Warfare), with all Automobile ownership outlawed, and most transportation carried out by Mass Rail Transit (ie. Subways, Streetcars, Bullet trains, etc.) powered by Electricity from exclusively renewable sources (ie. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, Geothermal, etc.), thus ending Global Warming (The Global Nuclear War already helped this, by thinning the World population and reducing temperatures with the mild fallout). All Rural populations employed in agriculture live in Collective Farms until this sector can be completely Automated and they can be moved to the Cities, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
Finally, the Superstructural changes that resulted from the necessary Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution included dramatic changes in the nature of Sexuality, Gender Roles, and Personal Expression. In order to flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, all Women are forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses and Makeup were banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing were banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. Interestingly, their has been a noticeable decline in Transgenders in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes are still Free and Legal to anyone who wants one. The nature of Sexuality has changed dramatically with the elimination of the Reactionary emphasis on Reproduction, considering that that are now Artificial wombs, in order to finally free women from the oppressive nature of child birth. Homosexuality is obviously completely Legal and totally accepted, with the caveat that the institution of Marriage (both Homosexual and Heterosexual) has been completely phased out as a relic of Reactionary culture in favor of much looser sexual relationships among consenting adults. Finally, all Drugs have been legalized for recreational purposes, in order to simultaneously end the discriminatory and classist nature of the Global War on Drugs waged by the Old Reactionary Bourgeois order, and unleash the creativity of the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World as they travel on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

I often times hear right-wingers make the argument that heroism has all but disappeared from society today. We no longer champion bravery, courage, conviction, determination, moral integrity, the ability to push through the tide even when the odds are stacked against you. These are all traits that should be greatly admired. As a kid, I remember watching films from the 90s like Schindler's List, Dances With Wolves, or even The Lion King which all emphasized this type of heroism. When I look at contemporary literature and film from the past 10 years I see none of this.
I often wonder to what extent a large part of this has to do with cancel culture, the #metoo movement, and now the Epstein files and their subsequent revelations. People who were once seen as heroic in some form or another are revealed to have been abusers, rapists, oppressors, etc. Think about how Noam Chomsky, one of the most beloved figures on the American left for the past 55 years, had his entire reputation destroyed after his Emails to Epstein were made public (I think back to how Norman Finkelstein said the first thing former leftists do when they become right-wing is attack Chomsky, because Chomsky is the epitome of a moral leftist or something). It's like we take it for granted that the people we love and revere are actually monsters behind closed doors. So the "answer" to this becomes simply: don't put anyone on a pedestal, don't admire anyone, "kill your heroes" lest your heroes be exposed as bad people.
I'm not trying to invoke the Great Man of History bullshit, but I thought this was an interesting topic to talk about. Does the death of heroism or "heroes" have any effect on the left? How are the left supposed to build morale if we reject heroism?
Death of Heroism
Why has the glorification of heroism completely disappeared from contemporary society, and what effects do you think this will have for leftists?I often times hear right-wingers make the argument that heroism has all but disappeared from society today. We no longer champion bravery, courage, conviction, determination, moral integrity, the ability to push through the tide even when the odds are stacked against you. These are all traits that should be greatly admired.

The reason I'm asking is because Fomenko is a hardcore Russian nationalist and many of his claims are clearly rooted in his Russian nationalist sentiments. For example, he claims Genghis Khan was akshually Russian. Also, he's one of the main people behind the Tartaria conspiracy theories (Tartaria is just WE WUZ KANGZ for Russians, after all). He published his work on the New Chronology in the mid 90s, when Russian nationalism was at an all time high and Russian morale was at an all time low. There are a lot of claims that Fomenko's theories are nothing more than ways of proving Russian legitimacy as the rightful owner to the entirety of Eurasia. It makes sense that a lot of Duginites love his works.
"New Chronology" Autism
What do comrades make of Anatoly Fomenko and his "New Chronology" thesis regarding world history? Personally, I'm not even autistic enough for this crap. He makes many wild claims, that ancient history as we know it was entirely fabricated during the Medieval era (Phantom Time Hypothesis).The reason I'm asking is because Fomenko is a hardcore Russian nationalist and many of his claims are clearly rooted in his Russian nationalist sentiments. For example, he claims Genghis Khan was akshually Russian. Also, he's one of the main people behind the Tartaria conspiracy theories (Tartaria is just WE WUZ KANGZ for Russians, after all).

Come on, western leftist! What is going on? You have the perfect opportunity - the old cannot rule in the old way, and the new cannot rule in the new way. You are between two class dictatorships RIGHT NOW. There is a crisis developing that will mark the definitive end to Western 500 year long hegemony. This is the time for DUAL POWER. Where are your contacts? Where is your network? Where are the people like Stalin and Sverdlov? What is happening? Hello? Does anyone care? Or do we need ISLAMOCOMMUNISM?

Official figures are due to be published next week, but a Scottish government report released on Tuesday admitted “not every patient waiting over a year will have received their appointment or treatment by the end of March 2026.”

The German carmaker told Euronews Business it is "in dialogue with various market players" as part of an "open review process" for the site once car manufacturing wraps at the beleaguered site in 2027, but stressed there are "currently no concrete decisions or conclusions regarding the future direction of the site."

Russian weapons, tactics seen in Ukraine are shaping Myanmar’s civil war
Moscow has supplied munitions, drones and anti-drone systems to Myanmar’s military that, according to the conflict monitoring group ACLED, has waged an increasingly violent campaign against adversaries and civilians alike in a civil war that has killed at least 96,000 people since the coup. Storey identified six Russian Sukhoi Su-30 jets – the last of which arrived in December 2024 – as the military regime’s most formidable aircraft, citing witness accounts of Russian personnel servicing the aircraft in Myanmar.

Russian weapons, tactics seen in Ukraine are shaping Myanmar’s civil war
Moscow has supplied munitions, drones and anti-drone systems to Myanmar’s military that, according to the conflict monitoring group ACLED, has waged an increasingly violent campaign against adversaries and civilians alike in a civil war that has killed at least 96,000 people since the coup. Storey identified six Russian Sukhoi Su-30 jets – the last of which arrived in December 2024 – as the military regime’s most formidable aircraft, citing witness accounts of Russian personnel servicing the aircraft in Myanmar.

Why are the bourgeoisie so unapologetically evil? I know this is a stupid question but its hard for me to fathom how a human being could be as malicious and uncaring as the bourgeoisie are. Do they not care at all for the suffering they cause humanity, and the destruction they bring to the planet as a whole? Or do they delusionally believe that what they are doing is somehow in the right?

At the same time questions of what is being gained from these massive investments are being raised. If and when this bubble pops it will have adverse ripple effects across the entire global economic system and the capitalist class will be potentially set back trillions. In the process the contradictions that will lead to capitalism's downfall will intensify, opening the window for a socialist revolution. Even if AI and its related technologies can serve some kind of social good and help develop the productive forces. Actively cheering for an AI bubble burst effectively serves the same function as championing revolutionary defeatism whenever the ruling class wages imperialist wars.
Regardless of your actual stance on AI. You should want and look forward to the AI bubble bursting.
The western AI industry is estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. In 2026 that number will likely balloon even further as more and more capital is poured into the industry. The capitalist class whose shortsightedness is almost always a given has seemingly put all their eggs in this handbasket even at the expense of other sectors of the economy from consumer electronics to the water supply and electrical grids of small towns unfortunate enough to have had a datacenter built in their vicinity.At the same time questions of what is being gained from these massive investments are being raised.

Why this silence? Because, they will confess in private, the American working class is “pro‑police.” To critique the police openly, they whisper, is to alienate the very constituency they claim to represent. So they hold their tongues. They perform a politics of comfort, moderating revolutionary impulse into managerial reform, ensuring that no blue line is crossed too harshly lest they upset the fragile sensibilities of a working class they have never actually organized. This is not Marxism at all, so their constant accusative speculation of Anarchism directed upon real Marxists is hilarious. It is the posture of a class fraction so distant from struggle that it mistakes its own cowardice for strategic patience.
The material reality is stark, there is no socialist state to defend, no proletarian dictatorship to uphold. There is only the bourgeois state, its courts, its jails, its concepts of police and justice, its armies of occupation in every city of the globe. To be a “statist” under such conditions is to align oneself with the repressive apparatus of capital. Yet these self‑proclaimed Leninists drape themselves in the language of state power while refusing to name the enemy that wears the uniform. They have made their peace with the cop because the cop is the ultimate guarantor of the social order they dare not disrupt. They call anarchists naive for recognizing the state as enemy, for understanding that the first duty of any revolutionary is to break the machine that beats us. But it is they who are naive, or worse, complicit, and federal operatives.
When confronted with a Marxist analysis of the state, they retreat to the tired accusation, “This is anarchism, not Marxism.” They claim that Engels, that Lenin, that Mao all upheld the necessity of state power. They are correct, under conditions of workers’ power, not under capitalism. To invoke the state as a revolutionary instrument while the state remains bourgeois is to fetishize an abstraction and abandon the concrete task of destroying the apparatus that oppresses us. It is abandoning the need for communist insurrection, because, in reality the thought of that gives them a sinking guilt in their stomach, what a horror it would be to attack the society that truly underneath all the rhetoric, serves their labor aristocracy. This is not Leninism, even. This is the disease of revisionism.. It is the bastardization of Marxism into a doctrine of quietism, where revolutionary critique is empty.
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) offers a textbook case of this pathology and how it functions in times of rupture. During the height of the debt crisis, when the working class was being eviscerated, what did the KKE do? They formed a cordon around the parliament building, not to storm it, but to protect it from angry youth and workers. They attacked fellow leftists who tried to approach, physically blocking the very militants who shared their supposed enemy, even the anarchists who hated the KKE were confused when they saw them start attacking people approaching parliament. They stood between the people and the bourgeois state, performing the function of security for the very institution that drowns us; the police sat back and got some time off. They feared the unhinged movement of the masses more than they feared austerity, which makes them counter-insurgents. They chose to police the rebellion rather than offer it bodies, and strategy.
Let them reap what they sowed. The KKE’s irrelevance today is not a tragedy; it is a judgment. They got what they had coming - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-U7_Pyxwkc
I will leave China out of this. Whatever one may critique about its trajectory, it is not a Western revisionist party cowering before its own bourgeois police. It is a state born of revolution, and it conducts itself as such. I am not about to bite the hand that feeds, China has long since abandoned funding these western revisionist parties. Not out of sentiment for maoism, but out of material reality. The struggle here is against the bourgeois state that surrounds us. That is where our energy belongs. The KKE, the CPUSA, and their ilk are distractions at best, enemies at worst. They are to be shunned, swept aside, and if they stand in the way, crushed.
Felix is right. The CPUSA and its ideological kin are not allies to be courted or fronts to be united with. They are enemies. Not because they disagree on the pace of transition, but because their entire political existence is structured around not challenging the bourgeois state. They hinder. They confuse. They absorb radical energy and convert it into harmless procedure. They must be swept under the rug of irrelevance, their influence quarantined, and if they continue to obstruct or pacify genuine organizing, they must be attacked, not simply physically, but politically, and relentlessly, until the spaces they occupy are reclaimed by those willing to name the bourgeois state as what it is; the covert servant of capital, and other class enemies.
>>The American left will not move forward until it abandons this pathetic, comfortable pose of bourgeois piety. We do not need a “workers’ party” that asks permission from the police to march. We need organized revolutionaries who understand that the bourgeois state cannot be reformed, cannot be captured, cannot be negotiated with, only dismantled and abolished. We need to sharpen ACTION BASED theory, and realize the successful formula for praxis differs by nation, locality, and periods in time. It is built by trial and error, not inactivity.
Felix is not totally wrong.
A curious pathology has taken root among the self‑styled Marxist‑Leninists of the American academy and the few remaining party formations they cling to; an unspoken, almost devotional posture of non‑critique toward the police. They will dissect the labor movements of ancient history, compose vague treatises on fighting imperialism, and issue proclamations on the dictatorship of the proletariat, but when the question of the cop on the corner, the officer who beats strikers, the carceral apparatus that swallows entire Black and brown communities arises, the real centers of class struggle in the modern era, their mouths go dry. They offer, at most, a limp gesture toward “defunding” diluted into a proposal for better training, no better than liberals. Abolition? That's Anarchist! No, communists want to attack and dismantle the bourgeois state, not capture it. You are RED LIBERALS. You do not mobilize against police unions. They do not celebrate prison breaks, or work with rioting prisoners on work stoppages. They do not treat the badge as the enemy it is.Why this silence? Because, they will confess in private, the American working class is “pro‑police.” To critique the police openly, they whisper, is to alienate the very constituency they claim to represent. So they hold their tongues.

They attacked fellow leftists who tried to approach, physically blocking the very militants who shared their supposed enemy, even the anarchists who hated the KKE were confused when they saw them start attacking people approaching parliament. They stood between the people and the bourgeois state, performing the function of security for the very institution that drowns us; the police sat back and got some time off. They feared the unhinged movement of the masses more than they feared austerity, which makes them counter-insurgents. They chose to police the rebellion rather than offer it bodies, and strategy.
Let them reap what they sowed. The KKE’s irrelevance today is not a tragedy; it is a judgment. They got what they had coming - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-U7_Pyxwkc
I will leave China out of this. Whatever one may critique about its trajectory, it is not a Western revisionist party cowering before its own bourgeois police. It is a state born of revolution, and it conducts itself as such. I am not about to bite the hand that feeds, China has long since abandoned funding these western revisionist parties. Not out of sentiment for maoism, but out of material reality. The struggle here is against the bourgeois state that surrounds us. That is where our energy belongs. The KKE, the CPUSA, and their ilk are distractions at best, enemies at worst. They are to be shunned, swept aside, and if they stand in the way, crushed.
Felix is right. The CPUSA and its ideological kin are not allies to be courted or fronts to be united with. They are enemies. Not because they disagree on the pace of transition, but because their entire political existence is structured around not challenging the bourgeois state. They hinder. They confuse. They absorb radical energy and convert it into harmless procedure. They must be swept under the rug of irrelevance, their influence quarantined, and if they continue to obstruct or pacify genuine organizing, they must be attacked, not simply physically, but politically, and relentlessly, until the spaces they occupy are reclaimed by those willing to name the bourgeois state as what it is; the covert servant of capital, and other class enemies.
>>The American left will not move forward until it abandons this pathetic, comfortable pose of bourgeois piety. We do not need a “workers’ party” that asks permission from the police to march. We need organized revolutionaries who understand that the bourgeois state cannot be reformed, cannot be captured, cannot be negotiated with, only dismantled and abolished. We need to sharpen ACTION BASED theory, and realize the successful formula for praxis differs by nation, locality, and periods in time. It is built by trial and error, not inactivity.

What if all the founding fathers were like Benjamin Franklin
What if all the founding fathers were anti-social degenerates who reveled in their sin and debauchery with pride and incentivize the Puritans and other Christian denominations to leave the fucking country because they want to force their religious values on other people instead of living in an egoist state

Why do ML(oosers) say the opposite ? Is it because they haven't read Marx ?
Why do ML(oosers) insist on socialism existing despite the law of value also existing
The law of value says that a society with money is bogreosie therefore not socialism. Consequently, the USSR was not socialist.Why do ML(oosers) say the opposite ? Is it because they haven't read Marx ?

why?
Why does it seem like most of the heavy handed police repression and operations in USA that use lethality have been against anarchists? like im talking mass raids in operations, mass arrest sweeps, targeted killings, why did they stop doing that with the more marxist groups like they did in the 80s back and suddenly just seem hyper focused on anarchist. like the cointrlpero of the usa government against them now seems way more harsh than on other lefty groups. anarchists back then basically got to fuck around in communes and get surveilled but not actively destroyed. now fast forward and it's like the opposite. after 9/11 you start seeing way more entrapment cases against anarchists than actual marxist groups, the green scare after was straight up hunting anarchists with cases facing decades, murders by cops, multi-jurisdiction tactical raids on the same day across multiple states, RICOS, and now trump signs a bill naming "anarchist jurisdictions" specifically as the highest lvls of "terror" but the dems been doing the same shit just quieter with biden's and obamas doj still prosecuting 2020 protestors n anarchist being killed by police under biden. meanwhile ml groups mostly just host panels at universities and don't get their doors kicked in at all, they dont have cops visibly come to show force to intimidate them at meetings even but they do all this for anarchist. like why did the state stop caring about leninists who actually wanna seize state power and start obsessing over black blocs who just wanna smash windows. what changed

The merits of the petite-bourgeoisie in national liberation struggles are debatable but in the imperial core small-business owners are nothing but the spear-tip of reaction.
So how do we as workers actually struggle against the small-business owners? It seems like there's no direct way of struggling against these assholes. I would like high taxes and tight labor regulations but that's a wish, not actual struggle. Boycotts are also pretty useless for the working class.

Israel prepares to mobilise 400,000 reservists in widening Lebanon war
The planned mass call-up, reported by Israeli media on Tuesday, signals a widening of Israel's military campaign against Hezbollah, which has already devastated large parts of Lebanon and displaced over a million of Lebanon's 5.5 million population. The escalation comes as Israeli forces intensified air strikes across the country, including repeated raids on Beirut’s southern suburb overnight and attacks on towns in the south and east.

Activists face 'extreme isolation' in German prisons after Elbit break-in, families say
The activists, who are from Germany, Spain, Ireland and the UK, were arrested on 8 September following the alleged break-in to the premises of Elbit Systems in the southwestern German city of Ulm. The group - Daniel Tatlow-Devally, Zo Hailu, Crow Tricks, Vi Kovarbasic and Leandra Rollo - are accused of damaging the building's glass facade and smashing office equipment, including computers, screens and telephones.

Mette Frederiksen’s leftwing bloc has failed to win majority in Danish election, exit polls suggest
If confirmed, the Social Democrats and the other left-leaning parties that form the “red bloc” would be well short of a majority in the 179-seat parliament. But the right-leaning parties of the so-called “blue bloc” also fell short, putting foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, leader of the non-aligned centre-right Moderates, in the spotlight as a likely kingmaker.

Liberal Freedom Movement narrowly wins Slovenia election
The liberal Freedom Movement (Gibanje Svoboda) declared an extremely tight victory over the right-wing Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) after the parliamentary election on Sunday, March 22. The outcome announces a tense period of building the necessary parliamentary majority and follows a campaign marked by reports of Israeli interference linked to the SDS, led by former prime minister and far-right figure Janez Janša.

Picket lines formed at dawn in Quezon City, Parañaque, Bulacan, and San Mateo. Commuters reported waits of 45 minutes or more; multiple Manila universities suspended in-person classes; residents on dozens of routes found no vehicles running at all.

Without theoretical consciousness, without the need to express it in articulate language, but making their statement with their bodies and their actions, they cried out that there can be no civil and political equality as long as there is economic inequality, and that the way to end this inequality is not with laws, decrees, lectures and sermons, but by overthrowing by force the bases of a society divided into classes….
R: 22 / I: 16
I will not elaborate on specific methods here. That would be not only irresponsible but strategically suicidal. The moment a tactic is named, it is catalogued, and the moment it is catalogued, it becomes less effective. What I can offer, without burning what works, is a confirmation that the web is not one-way. The agent who seeks trust must offer trust. The infiltrator who collects information must receive information. And in that exchange, if one is paying attention, the hunter becomes legible.
This is not theory. This is my experience in Pittsburgh.
Over those years, two individuals I considered comrades, people with whom I shared meals, organizing work, and the ordinary vulnerability of movement life, were turned. I know this now not because they confessed but because a patient, multi-layered honey pot revealed them to us. The method itself is not the story, and I wont burn the method. The story is what the method produced; a pattern. Inconsistencies in their accounts of where they had been, or how they received funding to survive. Questions that lingered too long on details no organizer needed to know. A sudden, inexplicable prosperity during periods of movement quiet, new equipment, paid travel, the kind of financial ease that does not arrive by accident. And finally, the confirmation; information fed to them in confidence, information that had no reason to travel beyond their ears, appearing later in the investigative posture of local authorities.
I now possess testimony from them, though they do not know I possess it. I have documentation of their movements, their communications, their quiet meetings with individuals whose affiliations they never disclosed, both private and public. I have the record of their lives as they lived it while pretending to live ours. And I have the knowledge, cold and finalized upon paper with evidence, that they were asked to gather information on me, and that they abided.
The betrayal is not the discovery. The betrayal is the confirmation of what suspicion already knew but could not prove. And in that confirmation lies a deeper truth; they were caught not because we are smarter, but because they assumed we were not paying attention. They assumed the tools of surveillance were theirs alone. They assumed the web spun only one way. They assumed that because they were watching us, no one was watching them.
Pittsburgh taught me otherwise. The apparatus has its blind spots. The hunters carry their own vulnerabilities. And a movement that learns to read the pattern of attention directed at it can, with patience and creativity, learn to return that attention in kind. Think of some creative ways that this can be done to yourself, and if necessary discuss it with potential comrades as related to the person who is suspicious. Not to surveil for the sake of surveillance, but to survive as organizers. Not to become the state, but to render its instruments visible, and in that visibility, to render them less useful to the bourgeoisie.
I will not say how the web was spun. That knowledge belongs to those who need it, and they will find it in the same place we did, within the realms of human creativity, through loss, through attention, through the slow accumulation of pattern recognition that comes only from having been burned and refusing to be burned again. What I will say is this, the apparatus is not omniscient. It is staffed by people with mortgages, marriages, fears, weaknesses and the same capacity for carelessness as anyone else. They leave traces. They generate records. They hold unrelated secrets that they might do anything to keep from getting out. They live lives that can be read, if one knows how to look. And sometimes, if you are patient, if you are creative, if you are willing to learn from your own near-destruction, you can catch them in the act of attempting to catch you.
Honey pots, not just for glowies
The apparatus of surveillance operates on a fundamental asymmetry, and in the USA they seem to assume the tools of surveillance, infiltration, and deception are theirs alone to wield. This assumption is itself a vulnerability, a blind spot carved by decades of impunity. The honey pot, the web of trust, the slow cultivation of access, these are not technologies proprietary to the state and private GWOT actors. They are social dynamics, and like the other social dynamics of repression such as violent force, they can be redirected.I will not elaborate on specific methods here. That would be not only irresponsible but strategically suicidal. The moment a tactic is named, it is catalogued, and the moment it is catalogued, it becomes less effective. What I can offer, without burning what works, is a confirmation that the web is not one-way. The agent who seeks trust must offer trust.

Mexico's coastal communities fear more crude contamination as spill source unclear
Residents along Mexico's Gulf Coast fear more crude oil will wash onto beaches in Tabasco and Veracruz states nearly a month after the first signs of contamination were detected, as authorities investigate the source of the spill. The contamination has affected 230 km (143 miles) of shoreline and 39 communities in the two states, according to the Gulf of Mexico Reef Corridor Network, a coalition of fishing, Indigenous and environmental groups.

Italian voters reject Giorgia Meloni's judicial reform in referendum defeat
With almost all ballots counted from the Sunday-Monday vote, the "No" camp was at almost 54 percent, compared to just over 46 percent for "Yes", according to official figures. During the campaign, Meloni had insisted the referendum, which concerned the role and oversight of judges and prosecutors, was not about her own leadership of the government.

Israel's Mossad promised it could ignite regime change in Iran, says report
In the plan’s conception, the war would begin with the killing of Iranian leaders, followed by a “series of intelligence operations intended to encourage regime change”. This could, Mossad believed, lead to a mass uprising that would bring about victory for Israel and the US. As the war began, Trump’s public messaging reflected this. In an eight-minute video statement he said: “Finally, to the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand…when we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.”

That OP is most probably a persian diasporoid faggot who added lefcuckism as his list of misfortunes.

Dancing Israelis. What are the odds?
Think we'll have videos of them hitting cellies? Socks full of money? Blueprints to the city. (https://abcnews.com/2020/story?id=123885&page=1) Explosive residue on their clothes? Explosive residue in a van? Boltcutters? Prepaid tickets to leave the US right after the event? https://www.haaretz.com/2001-09-17/ty-article/5-israelis-detained-for-puzzling-behavior-after-wtc-tragedy/0000017f-db50-d3ff-a7ff-fbf0d7830000
Admitting to being there to document "an event" on live TV in Israel?
Then years later when people ask about it on reddit the thread will have 100 aggressive users calling documented events "hateful conspiracies"?
What are the odds? I say 50/50 now but I'd raise those odds if the war in Iran stagnates much longer or if the dems win big in the mid terms.
The FBI report says they interviewed a former Urban Moving Systems employee, and he told them he quit because of a "high amount of anti-American sentiment" among the employees there, and he says that one of the Israelis told him, "give us 20 years and we'll take over your media and destroy your country". Like if you wrote that as dialog in a parody of antisemitic conspiracy theories, you would end up removing it for being too on the nose and exaggerated.
I want to know how Dominik Suter (the owner of Urban Moving Systems) got out of the US and into Israel after 911. All the flights were grounded for weeks, and the borders were totally locked down. Its not like he took a train to Israel. Max Blumenthal's "Suter was just a fraudster" theory can't explain that. The FBI report also says one of the witnesses noticed the van on the roof 45 minutes before the first plane hit.
Classic International Movers helping a hijacker move in Miami also complicates the fraudster theory. And the versions of the photos the FBI released were clearly photocopied several times to intentionally destroy the quality. The fact that the full case file is like 1200 pages or some shit, but they only released i think a couple hundred, makes me suspect there's more to it than is publicly known.
I did a deep dive on this topic recently and the best source I found was an Alexander Cockburn article from Counterpunch called "What Did Israel Know In Advance of the 9/11 Attacks?" and he says the Israelis posing as movers were consistently living and working within a few miles of the hijackers during the period leading up to 9/11, and several of them had advanced electronic surveillance training from the IDF, implying they were spying on the hijackers. He also says the Israelis privately acknowledged to the US government that it was some kind of undisclosed espionage operation
I mean the old ways haven't really stopped being effective have they?
If I'm Trump's handlers or Bibi I'd certainly be thinking about it.
Explanation of what I mean by the "old ways".
The intelligence apparatuses of the world love to push people into radicalization, help them along. Create agents of terror. And then utilize them in various ways. Either letting an attack happen, aiding an attack. Or, thwarting the attacker at the last second and claiming that everyone in the universe is now safe.
Like for instance. I can't prove Israelis far right religious government knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance. But I can tell you that a Miami FBI office concluded that a Classic International Movers van was used to transport one of the plane hijackers from Florida (where they went to flight school) to New York. This investigation was let out before the Israelis in question flew back home and gave a TV interview mentioning they were in the US to document "the event".
Make of that what you will….
But you don't need to be complicity involved in an attack to make use of it. In fact, you don't want to be involved directly as a nation state.
Here's what happens if you drag this issue out into the public. Intelligence bros just fucking cover you in gas and light your car on fire.

There's no reason not to try something if your goals are to motivate the American people into another groundwar.
Fall men are already lined up in the admin which isn't a confirmation, but certainly something to notice. Same with Kash gutting the people in charge of counter-terrosism from Iran. They need to free up space in the paint.
People who see others as cattle/with money on the line are getting antsy with midterms looking hazy. I assume backchannels are buzzing about what to do. And questioning when the window to do anything might shut.
That's why I assume an "event" will be sooner than later. But I think if I'm a bastard I'd wait until a dem was in charge and then do something. That way momentum swings in your direction next election.

I liked him in Boris Vian though.
Jean-Paul Sartre Fatigue
That cross eyed POS (piece of shit) think he can tell us what to do and what to think just because he got tons of cunny (underage girls privates) when he was a schoolteacher (professeur d'écoles) dont mean he gets to tell me i must live a certain way. Though we can all admit he is FAR more based than Junger (Ernst Junger) who never had the courage to dismantle reactionary gynocracy (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorit%C3%A9_sexuelle_en_France) by having sex with underage girls (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fille).I liked him in Boris Vian though.

>>Wage slavery is not individualism, it is the systematic destruction of the individual reduced to an economic unit of labor, stripped of autonomy, creativity, and the capacity for self‑determination. The neoliberal ideologue mistakes the atomized, precarious worker for a liberated subject, when in fact that worker is merely a node in capital’s collective apparatus. True individuality emerges only when the collective is organized not to exploit but to emancipate when labor is no longer a commodity, when the means of production are in common hands, when the individual’s unique capacities are cultivated rather than consumed. Communism does not erase the individual it makes individual flourishing on a societal level possible for the first time.
Why do the idealists of capital sincerely think INDIVIDUALISM is the FREE MARKET?
The neoliberal hymn to the individual has always been a lie dressed in idealism. Under capitalism, the individual is not liberated but crushed, flattened into a commodity, her desires subordinated to the logic of accumulation, her capacity for self-expression hollowed out by the relentless demand to sell herself piece by piece. What passes for individualism in free‑market ideology is merely the abstract isolation of the wage laborer, a collective system of slavery that masquerades as freedom. True individualism, the kind Marx glimpsed in the possibility of a society where human flourishing is the measure of production, is not opposed to communism, it is its final realization. The individual shines not when she is set against the collective, but when the collective is empowered to free her from the commodified life that capitalism mistakes for existence.>>Wage slavery is not individualism, it is the systematic destruction of the individual reduced to an economic unit of labor, stripped of autonomy, creativity, and the capacity for self‑determination.

The DHS / ICE
Are the current military wing of the bourgeois settler reactionary. Thus they are the biggest direct threat to the revolution and working class and must be treated as such. Any leftist individual or organization that attempts to denounce this fact, no matter how loudly or subtly, should be treated as an enemy of the working-class, and swiftly rejected, denounced or removed. They are agents. The growth of working class power must always be backed by an apparent willingness to defend that power or it's pursuit from any and all reactionary attacks.

Why is satanism becoming so big among the right? I'm thinking maybe because they have experience and know that the Jewish God is real they reject him because of the virtue that he's Jewish, support Esau and Amalek, support radical jihadism, believe in Qliphothic black kabbalah, support dark magic and psychospiritual warfare. These people are a growing problem that the CIA is scared of them. What gives with these people, man?

The “priority target” label is reserved for suspects DEA deems to have a “significant impact” on the drug trade. It’s unclear when the DEA gave Petro that designation. Petro denied all ties to drug traffickers and maintained he never accepted their funds during his campaign. Writing on X Friday, he argued that U.S. legal proceedings would ultimately dismantle accusations from the Colombian far right, a group he claims is actually the one involved with traffickers.

Mexican Indigenous Peoples Hand Symbolic Staffs of Authority to New Supreme Court
“We are the people’s justices because we have fulfilled our duty and we are here under the mandate of Article 39 of the Constitution… We have a clear mandate: to cleanse the judiciary,” said Aguilar Ortiz, an Indigenous citizen of Mixtec origin who will serve as the Supreme Court’s president for the next two years. At the Zocalo, the country’s largest public square, chants of “Long live the people!, Long live Aguilar Ortiz!” erupted from a crowd of hundreds, marking the beginning of an unprecedented chapter in Mexican justice.

Trials into crimes against humanity press on amid political tensions
The report highlights that frustrating pace. With 706 ongoing investigations involving 3,875 individuals, 1,565 suspects are facing proceedings while at liberty, and 515 are in detention, most under house arrest. Another 33 are fugitives, and 1,762 have died, with 1,252 passing before receiving a judgment. As the years pass, there is a growing risk that some accused will die before they can face justice.

The plans include options for the president in scenarios where Iranians are captured and detained, as well as how to handle paramilitary forces.

Adams was being sued in London’s High Court for allegedly being directly responsible and complicit for decisions by the Provisional IRA to detonate bombs in England in 1973 and 1996.

Never in history has a mode of production been forcefully "fought" and replaced, there was no capitalist movement to end the feudal mode of production, nor for any in the history of civilization. Communism is a bourgeois movement that postures as the real process of change, when change can only come when the mode of production runs its course.
There is only one thing that people who want change can do - they can wait.

Capitalism can only end when profit is no longer the incentive and is rendered useless, that requires either resource depletion or a change of the MOP as to underminet he cost of labour and the need for employed labour.Never in history has a mode of production been forcefully "fought" and replaced, there was no capitalist movement to end the feudal mode of production, nor for any in the history of civilization.

what will happen to people like me if the US empire falls? from what I understand the financial world is pure bullshit that syphons money from real industries through exploitation, tech, stocks, crypto, AI, it all depends on the ability of the empire to exploit the third world.
what happens when the exploitation stops and the world starts running on a real economy based on labour instead of speculation? do construcion workers get huge raises and people like me end up in the streets? can traders and speculators be useful in socialism?

I know that many will reply “They’re stupid don’t try to dissect it” but I will anyways.
First of all for decades the Republican Party and even the Democratic Party has gutted education in order to make these people stupid.
Second of all whenever something is bad Trump gives them an explanation weather it be Brown people, trans people, or Chyna, it is bullshit but democrats which are the only other option and they don’t provide any explanation, and since they are uneducated and lack critical thinking skills they buy Trumps shit.
Third of all the rural working class is deeply evangelical and in their culture they teach their kids to look up to their abusive fathers so as adults these KKKhristians imprint on Trump.
Fourth of all Trump is a Slopulist and he larps as Anti-Elitist during his elections by calling out lobbyists and industrial complexes but goes back on it when he is back in office.
Fifth of all, boomers are stuck-up and don’t want to admit when they have been bamboozled so they think that they have no choice but to keep supporting him.
Sixth of all, culturally among suburban liberals they are taught to be respectful to others with different political views while rural conservatives are taught the opposite so no one ever wants to slap someone shit into these people.
Why do people still support Trump?
According to CNN (If you can trust them) only 38% of Americans support Trump, that is small compared to the majority but that still means that 129 Million people support Trump after everything. And I genuinely don’t know how, because there are many rich country-club republicans who support him and it makes sense for them by why rural Appalachian farmers support him?!?! And they don’t just support him, they would literally die for this man, they are hive-minded-cattle, many boomers literally don’t speak to their children who don’t support Trump. I don’t even think similar populist strong-men like Putin have supporters like this (Correct me if I’m wrong). Like maybe you could say that Mao, Castro, Tito, Nasser, or Kim Il-Sung had ride or die supporters like this but that makes sense because they improved the lives of their people, Trump has not improved the lives of the working people at all, like what does a rural, Appalachian, Gen X, farmer get out of supporting Trump? Trump just made this hypothetical person unable to go to a nearby hospital, unable to by affordable gas or fertilizer, and in his first term Trump killed his mom with Covid.I know that many will reply “They’re stupid don’t try to dissect it” but I will anyways.

For years they claimed to be anti-war, anti-establishment, anti-elite. Now they cheer interventions, ignore the Epstein stuff, and defend literally anything Trump does. No standards left at all.
At this point the only thing they consistently care about is culture war slop.
Trump has betrayed them on basically every front that originally made the movement interesting. And instead of noticing, they just double down harder.
As someone closer to the Ron Paul libertarian side of things now, I genuinely feel alienated from this entire crowd of right wingers now. I can't stand these people.
I used to think MAGA was at least a messy populist revolt against the system. Now it just looks like another loyal faction inside it
I want to wake them up, but I can't because they're retarded… so honestly I wish this whole cringe “far right” internet ecosystem would disappear. I want the democrats to humiliate them in the midterms. And yes democrats are garbage too but at least they're going to humiliate them and their disgusting garbage president.

It has been such a pain in the ass trying to watch a show that isn't either subtly Zionist or just straight up pro-US imperialism. Watching Scrubs and the Afghanistan war episode comes up. Watching Modern Family and there's constant references to Bar Mitzvahs (with Israeli flags). Watching fucking Hannah Montana and there's a Afghan war episode. Like I know that's ridiculous to mention but I'm trying to say the rot runs deep in essentially every piece of media we watch
I have included The Good Place as good example because although it's not explicitly communist, it is a show all about how Capitalism has made the world hell and only revolution can solve the problem but it still kinda distances itself from that by saying "revolution in the afterlife only". Still the best we've got
Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to watch?

For several decades, following significant struggles by the Ecuadorian labor movement, the maximum workday was set at 8 hours. However, employers have tirelessly sought to undermine that union victory. Thus, the government of Noboa – who belongs to the country’s wealthiest family – has decreed that workdays of up to 10 hours may be implemented.

Brazil rolls out law boosting online protection of minors
Under the new law, minors under 16 are required to link their social media accounts to a legal guardian to ensure supervision. The legislation also prohibits platforms from using addictive features such as infinite scroll and the automatic play of videos. Digital services are also obliged to implement an effective age verification mechanism that goes beyond self-declaration that the user is over 18 to protect them from accessing inappropriate or prohibited material.

Russian oil tanker heading to Cuba amid US economic blockade
Hundreds of thousands of barrels of Russian oil are heading to Cuba, according to maritime tracking data, as the communist island suffers blackouts under a US economic blockade and Donald Trump threatens to take it over. The sanctioned Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin loaded 730,000 barrels of crude in the Russian port of Primorsk on 8 March, and on Wednesday at 1600 GMT was in the eastern Atlantic, bound for Cuba, maritime analytics firm Kpler said.

Mandelson ‘Received £1.5m’ From Collapsed Firm As Staff Got Nothing
The payout reportedly included £250,000 that he received just days before Global Counsel went bust last month. He made between £1.3m and £1.4m in a 2024 sale of shares to friends and associates, former colleagues told the Financial Times. More than 100 staff members lost their livelihoods when clients, including Barclays and Tesco cut ties with Global Counsel, forcing it into administration on 19 February.

At least three Palestinians have been killed in Israeli drone strikes in war-battered Gaza, nearly two and a half years into Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave, as severely limited medical evacuations restarted through the Rafah border crossing. Doctors at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said two people were killed in a drone strike in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, in the eastern part of Gaza City.

Trump tells Israel not to repeat strikes on Iranian energy as crisis deepens
Trump's comment came as energy prices jumped on Thursday after Iran responded to an Israeli attack on a major gas field by hitting Qatar's Ras Laffan Industrial City, which processes around a fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas, causing damage that will take years to repair. Saudi Arabia's main port on the Red Sea, where it has been able to divert some exports to avoid Iran's closure of the Gulf's exit point, the Strait of Hormuz, was also attacked.

‘Waiting for days’: India feels impact of gas supply chain disruption amid Iran conflict
In India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, where LPG is central to everyday cooking, the impact has been immediate. Slowing imports have strained distribution systems, prompting governments to prioritise household supply and restrict commercial use. The crisis has exposed a deeper weakness: a region with rising energy demand remains heavily dependent on supply routes vulnerable to distant geopolitical shocks.

Thailand's Anutin returns to power with broad backing and nationalist push
The stump speech captured Anutin's strategy of riding a wave of nationalism washing through Thailand in the wake of a fierce border conflict with Cambodia last year - a gamble that paid off. Bhumjaithai won 191 seats in the 500-member parliament, trouncing the progressive People's Party, and then cobbled together a coalition of 16 parties - including the populist Pheu Thai - that together hold 292 seats.

Vendors, other affected sectors launch series of protests vs privatization of Carbon Market in Cebu City
The market’s privatization will dispossess an estimated 16,000 vendors and workers of their stalls and jobs.

Ecuadorian workers fight back against 10-hour workdayFor several decades, following significant struggles by the Ecuadorian labor movement, the maximum workday was set at 8 hours. However, employers have tirelessly sought to undermine that union victory. Thus, the government of Noboa – who belongs to the country’s wealthiest family – has decreed that workdays of up to 10 hours may be implemented.

Brazil rolls out law boosting online protection of minors
Under the new law, minors under 16 are required to link their social media accounts to a legal guardian to ensure supervision. The legislation also prohibits platforms from using addictive features such as infinite scroll and the automatic play of videos. Digital services are also obliged to implement an effective age verification mechanism that goes beyond self-declaration that the user is over 18 to protect them from accessing inappropriate or prohibited material.

Hundreds of thousands of barrels of Russian oil are heading to Cuba, according to maritime tracking data, as the communist island suffers blackouts under a US economic blockade and Donald Trump threatens to take it over.

Mandelson ‘Received £1.5m’ From Collapsed Firm As Staff Got Nothing
The payout reportedly included £250,000 that he received just days before Global Counsel went bust last month. He made between £1.3m and £1.4m in a 2024 sale of shares to friends and associates, former colleagues told the Financial Times. More than 100 staff members lost their livelihoods when clients, including Barclays and Tesco cut ties with Global Counsel, forcing it into administration on 19 February.

Trump tells Israel not to repeat strikes on Iranian energy as crisis deepens
Trump's comment came as energy prices jumped on Thursday after Iran responded to an Israeli attack on a major gas field by hitting Qatar's Ras Laffan Industrial City, which processes around a fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas, causing damage that will take years to repair. Saudi Arabia's main port on the Red Sea, where it has been able to divert some exports to avoid Iran's closure of the Gulf's exit point, the Strait of Hormuz, was also attacked.

‘Waiting for days’: India feels impact of gas supply chain disruption amid Iran conflict
In India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, where LPG is central to everyday cooking, the impact has been immediate. Slowing imports have strained distribution systems, prompting governments to prioritise household supply and restrict commercial use. The crisis has exposed a deeper weakness: a region with rising energy demand remains heavily dependent on supply routes vulnerable to distant geopolitical shocks.

Gabbard says Pakistan missiles a future threat to US, but experts push back
The written assessment went further, placing Pakistan across multiple threat categories. On missiles, it said Pakistan “continues to develop increasingly sophisticated missile technology that provides its military the means to develop missile systems with the capability to strike targets beyond South Asia, and if these trends continue, Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) that would threaten the US”.

Thailand's Anutin returns to power with broad backing and nationalist push
The stump speech captured Anutin's strategy of riding a wave of nationalism washing through Thailand in the wake of a fierce border conflict with Cambodia last year - a gamble that paid off. Bhumjaithai won 191 seats in the 500-member parliament, trouncing the progressive People's Party, and then cobbled together a coalition of 16 parties - including the populist Pheu Thai - that together hold 292 seats.

As an upper Appalachian myself o can say that this is Easily one of the most historically proletarian places in America because the coal miner’s union back in the day bravery fought cops and the national guard, however unfortunately post-red-scare the Appalachian people became surf-brained and got into an Abusive relationship with the Republican Party and conservatism in general. Appalachia has been victim to unequal exchange in what is supposed to be it’s own country, they shut down our steel mills and do nothing but mine our mountains and frack our fields and it doesn’t go to funding our schools, hospitals, or infrastructure, of course this is the case in all of America but especially in Appalachia, it’s basically a neo-colony in its own country. We must help re-radicalize the Appalachian people! Rednecks of the world Unite!

What does Leftypol think about George Washington
My opinion on him as an American is pretty negative, obviously he owned slaves and that is really bad but I also don’t think that the revolution was anti-imperialist enough, obviously Karl Marx was not even born yet but even if he was there is no way that the founders would incorporate socialism into the constitution. And George Washington immediately started expanding territory westward so he wasn’t an anti-imperialist at all but he just hated taxes.

“I do believe I’ll be … having the honour of taking Cuba,” Trump added. “Whether I free it, take it – think I could do anything I want with it. You want to know the truth. They’re a very weakened nation right now.” Shortly after he spoke, the New York Times reported that US officials told Cuba to remove its president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, from power during recent talks, citing four unnamed sources familiar with the discussions.

It did so, despite an 11th-hour attempt by Ontario’s Doug Ford-led, hard-right Tory government to obtain an emergency court injunction banning the demonstration, on the fraudulent claim that it posed a “serious risk of violence.”

Qatar blames Israel for attack on gas field it shares with Iran
Mr Ansari called the attack “a dangerous and irresponsible step amid the current military escalation … infrastructure constitutes a threat to global energy security, as well as to the peoples of the region and its environment. “We call on all parties to exercise restraint, adhere to international law and work toward de-escalation in a manner that preserves the security and stability of the region.”

'We are crazy radicals': Israel's anti-war protesters struggle against ruling consensus
While there is an elite consensus in Israeli society that this war will bring safety to the country, a few civil society voices have offered dissent. As well as a handful of protests, 80 Jewish and Arab organisations recently signed an open letter to US President Donald Trump and Netanyahu. Put together by It’s Time, a coalition of peacebuilding groups, the letter calls to “stop the war with Iran - a war whose goals are unattainable and that lacks a clear exit strategy”.

Israel faces stiff Hezbollah resistance as it attempts to push deeper into Lebanon
The question of how Hezbollah has managed to preserve its presence south of the Litani, despite more than a year of the Lebanese army trying to disarm them, as well as near-daily strikes on fighters and weapons caches from Israel, has yet to be answered. Despite the intense pressure, Hezbollah has managed to put up a strong fight on the very frontlines of south Lebanon, using a mixture of anti-tank guided munitions, drones and artillery.

Trump predicts he will have ‘honour of taking Cuba’ amid power blackout“I do believe I’ll be … having the honour of taking Cuba,” Trump added. “Whether I free it, take it – think I could do anything I want with it. You want to know the truth. They’re a very weakened nation right now.” Shortly after he spoke, the New York Times reported that US officials told Cuba to remove its president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, from power during recent talks, citing four unnamed sources familiar with the discussions.

According to Chile’s presidency, Kast inspected the works at the frontier and highlighted the Army’s deployment to secure the area.

I decided to make a thread about the Cuba crisis since Trump has made threats yesterday and the media has been manufacturing consent at an alarming rate. As a US citizen I never usually get pissed off whenever Trump says something terrible but Jesus Christ his comments on “Taking Cuba” genuinely threw me into a rage and it is also infuriating that this is being done on autopilot as some B-Team side-project while Trump rapes Iran.

Americans have already given Israel more aid than South Vietnam and Afghanistan and there is no end in sight. It's time to walk away from this quagmire. The majority of American voters agree with this, and American foreign policy should represent the will of the people.
Military aid to Israel is illegal under an American law called the "Leahy Law" This law forbids military aid to nations that violate human rights. Israel imprisons hundreds of people with "Administrative Detention" which is jailing people for indeterminate period of time without a trial or even pressing charges. There are also serious allegations of torture and mistreatment of these people who are jailed unfairly.
In fact, any American aid to Israel is illegal under the Symington Amendment which forbids aid to any nation with a nuclear program that refuses inspections of its nuclear sites and does not sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,
American miliary aid to Israel has also presented a security risk. Israel began selling military technology to Communist China in the late 1980's. The sales increased until Israel was second only to Russia in sales of Miliary Technology to China. These sales were instrumental in the modernization of China's military.
In Summary, American military aid to Israel is illegal, immoral, and unnecessary for the security of the United States.
The US should end aid to Israel.
The United States simply does not need to be involved in this never ending morally void vendetta over a tiny scrap of land with no significant nature resources and very little actual strategic value. Israel is not necessary for the United States to continue its commanding military presence in the region. Other nations provide better strategic locations and do so for considerably less money and trouble.Americans have already given Israel more aid than South Vietnam and Afghanistan and there is no end in sight.

29th Farkha Festival in Palestine 2026 –
Fighting against Genocide and Apartheid
Summer 2026 in Farkha/ West Bank, Palestine
March 13, 2026
Dear Comrades and Friends,
the Festival Committee, the Youth of the Palestinian People Party (former Palestinian Communist Party), and Albad Cultural Center have decided that despite, or rather because of, the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine, a Farkha Festival will take place this year. Because resistance means life.
We invite you to participate in one week of volunteer work, political discussions and workshops about the Palestinian struggles towards liberation and justice and the right of self determination, struggles of Palestinian women, left perspectives and cultural activities in the village of Farkha in Palestine.
The 29th edition of the Farkha Festival will be held in August 2026. Before the festival starts we will organize a three day long political tour to places and regions of resistance in Palestine to learn more about concrete local struggles directly from political activists and organizations on the ground, in order to know more how to continue the internationalist struggle.
Farkha Festival is rooted in and inspired by the work of the communist leader Tawfeeq Zayyad, a national poet and politician who was elected mayor of Nazareth in 1973. Tawfeeq played a key role in pressuring the occupation government to end its repression towards Palestinians – those who remained in their homes after the Nakba „1948 war„ and now live inside Israel. Because Tawfeeq tried to bring about change from within, he was constantly threatened by the occupying forces, his projects for the community of Nazareth were rejected, and his funding was significantly cut. Nevertheless, he managed to gather thousands of people every year to organize volunteer festivals in Nazareth and, with the help of the volunteers’ labor, to implement the Nazareth municipality’s plans without much state funding.
After having taken part in volunteer festivals in Nazareth, comrades brought the idea back home to Farkha. The Farkha Festival, has since focused on the collective works in the village, in renovating the main school, kinder gardens, and the public spaces, also trying to protect the lands threatened from confiscation, and a joint work in the ecological community garden project “Qamr Al-Balad” and has set itself the goal of linking precisely political struggles for liberation in Palestine with other local and international struggles, as well as with issues of environmental and climate justice. This includes the promotion of sustainable ecological agriculture, the cultivation of native plants and the passing on of this knowledge to the next generation, as well as the political debate on women’s rights, gender relations and decolonial struggles. With this spirit and tradition of resistance we want to invite you to join our resistance to dismantle the Israeli regime of genocide and settler colonialism in Palestine.
Farkha Festival has always been a place of international solidarity with the struggling Palestinian people, but also with struggles around the world – whether in occupied Kurdistan, occupied Western Sahara, the Basque country or elsewhere.
We are looking forward to welcome you!

In Russia, even supporting President Vladimir Putin's war policy is not necessarily enough as the security apparatus seeks to eradicate all opposition activity from the country.
This has been experienced firsthand by the Putin-loyal Communist Party, which has now found itself in the authorities' crosshairs, reports the Moscow Times.
The Communist Party is the second-largest party in Russia after Putin's United Russia, holding 57 seats in the 450-seat State Duma.
The party is part of the so-called systemic opposition that nominally opposes the regime but in practice supports Putin on all major issues.
In addition to the Communists, the systemic opposition is represented by the conservative and nationalistic Liberal Democratic Party (despite its name), the nominally social democratic A Just Russia party, and the self-proclaimed liberal New People party.
Before the war in Ukraine, the systemic opposition parties were allowed minor deviations from the official line, but nowadays they are expected to support Putin's line ever more unanimously.
"For those opposing the military actions, it may seem like there is no opposition at all, as all parties represented in parliament officially support the 'special military operation,'" summarized Stanislav Andreychuk of the Russian election monitoring organization Golos to the Moscow Times in April.
According to the Ukrainian human rights organization EHRG, the Communist Party has indeed supported Russia's war effort by, among other things, supplying weapons and ammunition to the front, supporting paramilitary groups, and spreading war propaganda.
But why is the Kremlin persecuting a party that so loyally follows Putin's line?
Parliamentary elections will be held in Russia in September, and as they approach, dozens of Communist Party members have been arrested. In the party's stronghold in the Altai region of Siberia, 11 party members have been arrested over the past three months. Among the arrested is Yuri Kropotin, deputy speaker of the regional parliament.
Gennady Zyuganov, who has led the party since the 1990s, has therefore expressed bewilderment over why communists are being persecuted.
According to a Russian election expert, the persecution of the pro-Kremlin opposition is linked to the upcoming elections. Even loyal support for Putin and the "special military operation" is not enough when the Kremlin fears that even the Kremlin-supporting opposition threatens the system.
"The Kremlin does not want the systemic opposition parties to become a focal point for protest votes," summarizes Ora John Reuter, a Russia expert at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
"[The Kremlin] is trying to suppress all forms of open opposition activity to make it harder for those opposing [the regime] to figure out who to give their protest votes to."
This is clearly visible in the Altai region, where United Russia has historically had great difficulty succeeding. In the 2021 regional elections, United Russia received "only" 33 percent of the vote, while the Communists took 31 percent.
The situation annoyed United Russia because the existence of even a nominal opposition in the regional parliament meant uncomfortable questions.
"I have been interrogated, threatened, and taken to court in the past. I thought those days were over, but now they are returning in an even more terrible form," Zyuganov laments.
Fortunately for Putin, many regional Communist Party deputies have ended up in court primarily on fraud charges. This has also been the case in many other regions.
Furthermore, it seems that nowadays Russians do not want to run as candidates in any kind of elections. The risk of getting into trouble is too high even as a United Russia candidate.
"All parties are having a hard time. When everyone sees this oppressive pressure, finding candidates and supporters is becoming increasingly difficult," an anonymous election expert points out.

Étienne Davignon, the only person still alive among 10 Belgians the Lumumba family accuses of involvement in the killing, is charged with participation in war crimes. The decision, which follows a surprise referral by the Brussels prosecutor last June, can be appealed against. Davignon, a former vice-president of the European Commission, has denied the charges.

Activist cleared of terror charges over alleged support for Hamas
Bristol Crown Court heard she attended a march in Cardiff in November 2023 and addressed a crowd gathered at Ty William Morgan in Central Square, telling them she was “sick of being told to condemn Hamas.” A jury unanimously acquitted Devonish, who was arrested in January 2024 after a video of her speech was posted on social media, of the single charge against her following a two-day trial at the court.

Petro accuses Ecuador of bombing Colombian territory, deepening rift with Noboa
Petro first made the accusation during a televised cabinet meeting and later repeated it on X, where he said there were “27 charred bodies” linked to the attacks and that Quito’s explanation was “not credible.” The Colombian leader also argued that the bombings did not appear to have been carried out either by illegal armed groups — “they do not have planes” — or by Colombia’s own security forces, because, he said, he had given no such order.

Chile pardons 2019 protests have emerged as a major point of contention following statements by President José Antonio Kast.

I mean, they’ve killed much more than 32,000 people. And the man who was responsible for that was also killed yesterday.”

Is it possible to fix American culture?
American culture, and I'm not talking about cultural objects like Burgers, Banjos, Straw hats, or Seersucker suits or cultural Music like Country, Rap or Jazz. Im talking about behavioral culture like Hyper consumerism, Hyper materialism, American exceptionalism, or the insane Police and Military culture that's normalized. Like the last two could be fixed if the left plays its cards right but the consumerism and Materialism thing I think could be permanently bricked into the American brain. I live in America and I will always remember this time when ii was a kid and my family was on our way back from a road trip and we stopped at a McDonalds that was around an hour away from our and my little brother was upset that my Dad forgot to order a Root-Beer so he said "Don't worry we will pass like 15 other McDonald on the way home." And he said that like it was normal. I don't even think that in countries like Europe you can just walk into a Walmart and get like 47 different flavors of Oreos, Like I don't think that its inherently bad but there is no way that we get the stuff to make those Oreos without exploiting the labor of Sugar farmers in or from Guatemala or something, if it was self reliant then its fine but America doesn't manufacture anything we use anymore, Our entire economy is just 5 AI companies shuffling money between themselves. I will always remember that time that Trump was doing in interview about the Tariffs and he said "Well maybe Girls in America can have two dolls instead of thirty dolls" and although I hate Trump and his hostility to China he Isn't wrong about how kids don't need to have 30 of the same dolls to survive, and of course that is why the liberal media attacked him for saying that more then the stuff that deserves condemnation.

>historical materialism
The structure of society, which reflects the mode of production (capitalism, socialism, feudalism etc), creates antagonist groups with structural interdependance aswell as structural contradictory modes of existence (i.e. the proletariat will aim to maximize their salaries, but the bourgeoisie will attempt to extract the most surplus value from the proletariat).
Over time, this creates change and conflict within societies, giving way to paradigmic societal change (i.e. feudalism -> capitalism -> …)
However, another interpretation seems to see it through the lens of the development in productive forces. In this case, the contradiction ceases to be between classes, but rather between the development of productive forces with the relations of production (i.e. feudalism preventing capitalism from developing because of taxes or irrational norms).
The first interpretation makes me tend to believe that there is no gradual change from one society towards another, and simply a dialectical movement towards the abolition of classes, whilst the second one seems to be much more technology-centric and linear.
>dialectical materialism
This one seems to be the most controversial one. From what I can gather, it seems that it originated with Engels and that it posits that the material world in eternal motion driven by contradictory forces and structured around 3 natural laws. However, doesn't this imply some form of naturalism ? Nonetheless, another interpretation that I have picked up accounts for it being the idea that man is in a dialectical interaction with his environment, by which he is able to consciously work on it whilst also being determined by the latter. This interpretation can be imo hardly derived easily from the first one.
>alienation
Every individual is intrinsically a social and creative potential, by which he can be fulfilled or alienated. Alienation here refers to the mechanisms inherent to capitalism which "alienates" the proletariat from that potential by reducing them to cogs.
In this view, the dialectic seems to change again and shifts towards individual interactions between the position someone holds in a factory and his social and creative potential.
"Humanist" marxists accept this dialectic first and foremost apparently but it seems contradictory to the Marx of the Capital.
I don't really see how all these can be reconciled. Unless the dialectic just becomes a very trivial method by which change is explained by conflicting tendencies/forces, they seem to operate somewhat on a fundamentally different level. So, what gives ? Is the dialectic purely a method by which to analyze change ? Or does it describe a real life movement ?
What's the consensus on these subjects ?
Hey /leftypol/, the more I'm reading about these topics the more I get diverging interpretations that seem unreconcilable. So, what's the global consensus on these notions ?>historical materialism

However, another interpretation seems to see it through the lens of the development in productive forces. In this case, the contradiction ceases to be between classes, but rather between the development of productive forces with the relations of production (i.e. feudalism preventing capitalism from developing because of taxes or irrational norms).
The first interpretation makes me tend to believe that there is no gradual change from one society towards another, and simply a dialectical movement towards the abolition of classes, whilst the second one seems to be much more technology-centric and linear.
>dialectical materialism
This one seems to be the most controversial one. From what I can gather, it seems that it originated with Engels and that it posits that the material world in eternal motion driven by contradictory forces and structured around 3 natural laws. However, doesn't this imply some form of naturalism ? Nonetheless, another interpretation that I have picked up accounts for it being the idea that man is in a dialectical interaction with his environment, by which he is able to consciously work on it whilst also being determined by the latter. This interpretation can be imo hardly derived easily from the first one.
>alienation
Every individual is intrinsically a social and creative potential, by which he can be fulfilled or alienated. Alienation here refers to the mechanisms inherent to capitalism which "alienates" the proletariat from that potential by reducing them to cogs.
In this view, the dialectic seems to change again and shifts towards individual interactions between the position someone holds in a factory and his social and creative potential.
"Humanist" marxists accept this dialectic first and foremost apparently but it seems contradictory to the Marx of the Capital.
I don't really see how all these can be reconciled. Unless the dialectic just becomes a very trivial method by which change is explained by conflicting tendencies/forces, they seem to operate somewhat on a fundamentally different level. So, what gives ? Is the dialectic purely a method by which to analyze change ? Or does it describe a real life movement ?

This practice paid off concretely. At a rally in Mears Park, a protester recognized a man who looked like an anarchist or leftist, dark clothes, red flag, backpack, disheveled appearance, and realized she had photographed him days earlier during a police raid on the Welcoming Committee's headquarters. She spread word to other protesters, who confronted the man and his two associates and told them to leave the park. The men departed and entered an unmarked sedan whose license plate traced back to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office detective unit. Private investigators associated with the affinity groups were able to recover these plates.
Later the same day, protesters identified two additional men during a planned march, one singled out simply because he was wearing brand, new tennis shoes, a subtle marker of inexperience or incongruity with movement norms. Those men also left in an unmarked sedan.
Academic assessment of security culture during the RNC found it had "a mixed record". It succeeded in "frustrating shorter-term infiltrators operating at the movement's peripheries, but "generally failed to prevent longer-term infiltrators from gaining others' trust" . This distinction is crucial to understand. The men identified in Mears Park and the march were likely peripheral operatives which is shorter-term infiltrators whose behavior or appearance had not yet fully assimilated to movement norms. The deeper penetrations, the operatives who spent months building relationships and trust, remained undetected.
>>Detection Protocols, what the people can actually do
The RNC example illuminates several concrete practices that movements employ to detect infiltrators –
>>Documentation and Memory Work. Systematic photography of law enforcement during operations creates a visual database that can be referenced when unfamiliar faces appear in movement spaces. The protester who recognized the raid participant did so because she had committed faces to memory and could cross-reference against her documentation.
>>Attunement to Incongruity. The "brand-new tennis shoes" observation reflects a deeper practice, noticing when someone's presentation does not quite align with environmental norms. Infiltrators often reveal themselves through subtle mismatches, clothing that is too new, gear that is too clean, behaviors that are slightly off. As security culture literature often notes, this involves "inverting the gaze to inspect others' corporeality" learning to read bodies and presentations for signs of inauthenticity".
>>Collective Deliberation. Detection is not an individual act but a collective process. The protester who recognized the infiltrator did not act alone; she "spread the word to other protesters," enabling group assessment and collective response . This distributed vetting mechanism compensates for the absence of centralized trusted authority.
>>Graduated Trust. Movements implicitly operate on a spectrum of trust. Newcomers are granted access to public actions and open meetings but are not immediately entrusted with sensitive information or planning roles. Trust must be earned through demonstrated commitment, risk-sharing, and alignment with movement values over time . This graduated approach limits the damage that short-term infiltrators can inflict.
Dealing with Glowies, lessons from the past
The 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul provided a vivid demonstration of how even decentralized movements can successfully detect and neutralize infiltrators through collective practice. According to contemporaneous reporting, members of the RNC Welcoming Committee, an anarchist federation of anonymous affinity groups, systematically photographed law enforcement during confrontations and worked to memorize faces over the months.This practice paid off concretely. At a rally in Mears Park, a protester recognized a man who looked like an anarchist or leftist, dark clothes, red flag, backpack, disheveled appearance, and realized she had photographed him days earlier during a police raid on the Welcoming Committee's headquarters.

I concluded this by playing a flash game called Oiligarchy which you should play for yourself and see the eco ending:
https://armorgames.com/play/2607/oiligarchy (Original)
https://www.hackedfreegames.com/game/3195/oiligarchy (Hacked/Cheats)
and by searching "when will the world run out of oil" on Google, which said:
<Based on current consumption rates and known reserves, the world is estimated to run out of economically accessible oil in approximately 50 years, or around 2052–2060.
And I once read this guy called Reza Negristani who wrote a book (Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials) about how oil is capitalism and its sentient, like he was saying capitalism needs oil, also the west runs on oil and its obviously important to them. Lots of guys like Michael Parenti and Jacques Derrida and whatnot wrote big books on how the west invades for oil, fights for oil and like is living because of oil and stuff.
So yeah, there won't be an ecological collapse / doomsday. West should fall soon. Unless they use nukes for M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) like in one of the game endings.
To address some concerns:
>We're already past the point of no return, this ecological damage is irreversible, we're fucked.
No I'm pretty sure not, but if we are its like… why aren't you doing whatever you want if its your final days? Go.
>This is just a bunch of incomprehensible stringed together info, you're getting your source from a videogame?
A flash game actually, and yes, because it is very accurate and whoever made it is probably a genius. We should try to reach out to the studio that made it, see if the guys are still alive, its like decades old by now, you should be treating it like one of those old big books by smart guys you like so much because they're old and that means experienced with ancient wisdom even if you don't admit that's what you actually think.
>The west will adapt and become more eco friendly bourgeois like in the ending.
NO, they shouldin't, its like the math I did - they run out of oil = their economy collapses = farewell west.
>The game is libcoded, dems are shown as "good eco friendly bourgeois"
So what? You don't understand the rest of the truth in the game. You are truthless.
<Oiligarchy is a 2008 satirical browser-based strategy game created by Molleindustria that critiques the influence of the oil industry on politics and foreign policy. Players manage an oil corporation, drilling for resources, bribing politicians, and influencing elections to maintain a fossil-fuel-dependent economy until resources deplete.

They made other games, I gotta check them out, they have truth.
Just because something is simple and common sense doesn't mean its not true, in fact truth is in plain sight where you're not looking. "It can't be that simple" - but I'M PRETTY SURE it is.
So, just return to being normal? Stop worrying or caring so much, goo goo gaga yourselves, things will just sort themselves out.
Also if you're in the west (especially America, Western Europe, Anglophone nations) you should move out, things might become chaotic.

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Khun
I just finished reading The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) by Thomas S. Khun and it struck me as one of those instances of a non-Communist person being dialectical materialist on accident. I actually don't know what his attitudes towards Communism was, but since he was born in the USA and spent almost his entire adult life in the Cold War, I assume it wasn't good. But nevertheless, I found this to be a very intriguing but short book (he calls it an essay) which analyzes science not as a static teleological method based on making falsifiable conjectures and attempting to refute them through experiments (as with Popper) but as a continually evolving and socially constructed human enterprise based on changing paradigms, which continually rewrites and simplifies its own history in order to abridge the process of raising and training new generations of scientists. Science continually subdivides into new fields, and old paradigms are continually replaced with new paradigms through the process of crisis formation and resolution. Old theories are abandoned, and the very process of raising and training a new generation of scientists in a given field introduces only the current dominant paradigm and its main problem/solution methodologies (called "normal" science) to avoid burdening the student with the entire historical background. But as scientists engage in experimentation, they uncover anomalies which the dominant paradigm cannot explain. At first this is fine, because paradigms reign as long as dominant theories are able to explain most phenomena encountered in daily work. Anomalies are just treated as mop up work for normal science. But as anomalies accumulate there is crisis formation and entire paradigms get called into question, leading to scientific revolution. He compares this to social and political revolution and it reminds me of the whole Scientific Socialist thing about the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes. I'm probably explaining it poorly but I'm wondering if anyone else here has read this book and gotten anything out of it, or maybe even if you thought it was trash, say why.

Gains for the left and far right in French municipal elections
Sunday’s first-round results showed a significant increase in votes for the LFI, which scored high in the north, in the town of Roubaix, where it could win the mayor’s position. It also saw significant vote increases in cities including Toulouse, Lille and Limoges, after succeeding in mobilising young voters. In France’s second biggest city, Marseille, the RN’s Franck Allisio was level after the first round with the incumbent left-wing mayor, Benoit Payan, at about 35.4 per cent, as they head into next weekend’s run off.

It's therefore useful to draw people away from these compromised platforms onto our own platforms, and to discover places they are not able to easily dominate.
Naturally, there are infrastructural challenges - internet services require servers, which cost money, have terms and conditions if you aren't self-hosting, and can ultimately be shutdown by the state if considered a threat.
Some examples, to get the discussion rolling:
< Socialist-run media outlets (MeansTV, party article/newspapers, self-hosted podcasts)
< Socialist-owned forums (/leftypol/s, eRegime, socialist mastodon instances, socialist lemmy instances like Hexbear)
< Socialist closed chat groups (Matrix channels, Telegram/Whatsapp/Signal/Di$cord groups [still vulnerable to deplatforming, but limited] )
< Postering/stickering/graffiti
< Personal networks (word of mouth)
Building Alternative Media
Mass media is dominated by those with the capital to own it. Any airtime an anti-capitalist gains on these platforms can be revoked at any time. So while pursuing exposure on them isn't useless, it is limited, and playing at a disadvantage.It's therefore useful to draw people away from these compromised platforms onto our own platforms, and to discover places they are not able to easily dominate.
Naturally, there are infrastructural challenges - internet services require servers, which cost money, have terms and conditions if you aren't self-hosting, and can ultimately be shutdown by the state if considered a threat.
Some examples, to get the discussion rolling:
< Socialist-run media outlets (MeansTV, party article/newspapers, self-hosted podcasts)
< Socialist-owned forums (/leftypol/s, eRegime, socialist mastodon instances, socialist lemmy instances like Hexbear)
< Socialist closed chat groups (Matrix channels, Telegram/Whatsapp/Signal/Di$cord groups [still vulnerable to deplatforming, but limited] )
< Postering/stickering/graffiti
< Personal networks (word of mouth)

What i mean is with policy like contelpro, and with the feds just being able to track pretty much everyone that'd raise alarms through their technology as well as the technology of people associated with them due to the insane reach of the servalence state, how could a centralized organization like a revolutionary vanguard even do its job of leading and recruiting revolutionary forces whilst also building duel power and not be infiltrated and broken up from the inside?
Like theirs a reason that most active terrorist groups operating in the us have just started using cell structures and "leaderless resistance", basically being loosely related cells of at most a dozen people, but thats not really something us commies can do.
what do you think? Am i just being wrong, or do we need to come up with some other strategy for working in the imperial core?

Islamists in my country used to attack communists for "promoting prostitution" and the "community of women" (women owned in common) this was refuted by Marx as early as the Manifesto who pointed to the hypocrisy of this accusation, nevertheless what happened once Islamists captured power with the backing of multinational capital and the petty bourgeoisie? Public prostitution became prevalent and organized, an underground industry run by this new bourgeoisie. Religious cities became brothels that people cross oceans for, with the blessings of God and law - prostitution became holy "temporary" marriage, a market fueled by endless victims of poverty, austerity and war.
As for private prostitution (marriage) civil marriage was de facto abolished and with it any concessions offered to the woman, communists used to rally against the payment offered to the woman's family to consummate the marriage arguing that it is a form of commodification, this has now became the standard practice, cementing the woman's role as a commodity first, prompting her to rot until she is inevitably sold rather than take her own path in life.
The separation of genders have twisted the view of women to be mere objects of sexual gratification rather than real conscious beings. This view twisted further by pornagrahy; the consumption rates of which is amongst the highest in the world despite being banned and labelled taboo. Naturally the rates of harassment and rape have also increased despite bullying women into suppressing their every feminine character.
I suppose eventually it became convenient to lift any ostensible restrictions around this commodity, and so the age of marriage was lowered to 9 in order to save them from degeneracy of celibacy.
Now believe me when I say I don't shutter at the 'immorality and injustice' of any of this for the commodification of women and children is entirely within the logic of capitalism, in this extreme case it has only been elevated into a more public form under the guise of God, the only way to abolish it remains to be by abolishing all class distinctions.
The point of this post is more so to point to the hypocrisy of conservatives who purport to oppose the prevailing social order while all they do is enforce it over the bodies of workers, this is not to speak of the drug trade, crippling economic inequality, privatization, etc all have flourished under these religious charlatans.

In the 19th century and early 20th century, this vanguard naturally contained many class traitors, since political education was rarely extended to the working class. Marx had maids, even in his apartment in London, and Lenin employed housekeepers even in his exile to a cabin in Siberia. This was a group of unusually educated professional revolutionaries who did so much reading, so much writing, so much public speaking, and attended so many meetings, that they did not have time to cook their own meals, do their own laundry, wash their own dishes, and could not have done so even if they wanted to. They needed help with basic domestic tasks from the very workers they wanted to liberate.
Today it is different. The worker can listen to the entire Marxist-Leninist canon as audiobooks while attending to the menial tasks which occupy daily life, both at work and at home. The worker can publish their thoughts to a site such as this easily, without needing access to a publishing company or a printing press. A worker can attend a party meeting in the form of a video call, while driving. This enables the worker to be every bit as involved in the theoretical half of the class struggle (reading theory, writing theory, speaking publicly, attending meetings) as they already were in the practical half of the class struggle (working, striking, fighting, dying). This calls into question whether the vanguard is the individual in a suit sitting in an office publishing theses against bourgeois rivals while servants bring tea and warm meals, or whether the vanguard is the individual who listens to Marx and Lenin while washing dishes.
Evolution of the vanguard
The notion of a vanguard is not a notion of a political elite, though it can decay into one, but rather it is a notion of a highly developed strata of professional revolutionaries who guide the proletariat simply because of the fact that they had better access to political education. Sometimes this is described as "the most advanced section of the proletariat" but we often find not merely highly educated and motivated proletarians in the vanguard, but also plenty of bourgeois class traitors in (Engels), class traitors from the nobility (Felix Dzerzhinsky, Zhou Enlai) peasants (Lenin, Mao), the child of a plantation owner (Castro), and petty bourgeoisie (Marx himself, at least the young Marx, before his exile and relative poverty and England).In the 19th century and early 20th century, this vanguard naturally contained many class traitors, since political education was rarely extended to the working class. Marx had maids, even in his apartment in London, and Lenin employed housekeepers even in his exile to a cabin in Siberia. This was a group of unusually educated professional revolutionaries who did so much reading, so much writing, so much public speaking, and attended so many meetings, that they did not have time to cook their own meals, do their own laundry, wash their own dishes, and could not have done so even if they wanted to.

Destroy capitalism and replace oil with hemp. No more need for petroleum based plastics, papers, toilet papers, foam, cardboard, COVID masks and other materials and hempseed oil can power a G20 diesel engine (like a BMW G series) if you ran it carbon negative with biochar and ethanol transesterification and a mechanical manual oil presser for the seeds. You can make hemp biodiesel this way. Will need to mix in lye and other ingredients. Could also be carnon neutral if you used methanol. Only difference is carbon neutral releases no carbon into the atmosphere, carbon negative absorbs carbon from the atmosphere - could cause global cooling and Ice Age if this were as widespread as petroleum engines.

The American 'Proletariat' Does Not Exist
The American 'working class' produce zero surplus value through their net nonproductive labor and physically cannot sustain themselves due to deindustrialization. Each and every single lumpen settler owes more than forty trillion in exports to repay their debt to the rest of the planet and survives off the surplus labor of non-americans from Berlin to Siberia. Even ignoring the countless acts of terrorism committed by the burgereich, the consumerism of treats must end. As the pedotariat of epsteinland must work for several years and export to maybe repay even 30 percent of what occupied turtle island owes to the non-american surplus value producing global proletariat.Any strawman that does not address the largest trade deficit that will ever exist shall be ignored.

No leftist over the age of 20 now will be relevant to the real movement, anywhere on Earth
All the non-movements and anti-politics are outpacing the hitlerites and multipolarists of the "left" and "right". For better or for worse, most workers on Earth have a profund apathy or disdain for liberals wrapped in red invoking the ghosts of 20th century opportunists. This is why multipolaroids endlessly whine on twitter. And cling to whatever psycho who kills in a spree. I would even predict that all of the people over 20 years old in 2026 presenting themselves as "communists" will end up fighting against the proletariat in this century, in different places and times, if they ever do something. The teenage communist larper crying about geopolitics on twitter will denounce the general strikes of the future.

Esteemed comrades, revolutionary greetings.
This is a thread for Marxist-Leninist to talk among Marxist-Leninists. By that, we mean actual, real, complete Marxist-Leninists, not those who appropriate the heritage of Marxism-Leninism, but then proceed to denounce Lenin and Stalin from anarchist, left-deviationist and right-deviationist positions. Be not afraid to mercilessly bully the trotskyist, the leftcommunist, the anarchist, the social democrat and all the other saboteurs and lackeys of imperialism.

MARXIST-LENINIST GENERALFounder's Edition
Esteemed comrades, revolutionary greetings.
This is a thread for Marxist-Leninist to talk among Marxist-Leninists. By that, we mean actual, real, complete Marxist-Leninists, not those who appropriate the heritage of Marxism-Leninism, but then proceed to denounce Lenin and Stalin from anarchist, left-deviationist and right-deviationist positions. Be not afraid to mercilessly bully the trotskyist, the leftcommunist, the anarchist, the social democrat and all the other saboteurs and lackeys of imperialism.

>Xi’s “Important Thinking” canonically consists of a dozen requirements, or “Twelve Musts” [十二个必须]. Echoing the scholarly proposals, these include prioritizing “forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation [or Zhonghua minzu]” [铸牢中华民族共同体意识], “building a shared spiritual home,” and “promoting extensive interactions, interchanges, and intermingling [交往交流交融] among different ethnic groups.” The doctrine also views ethnic issues through a securitized lens, emphasizing the duty of all ethnic groups to “consciously safeguard national unity, national security, and social stability.”
>Xi’s ethnic policy, moreover, calls for “correctly grasping” “Four Pairs of Relationships” [四对关系]—a concept that the Law’s drafters expressly invoke. One relationship concerns the hierarchy between the Han-centric Zhonghua culture and various ethnic cultures: the former is the “trunk [or backbone],” while the latter are subordinate to it, likened to “branches and leaves.” “Only when the roots are deep and the trunk is strong can the branches and leaves flourish,” Xi said in a seminal 2021 speech on ethnic governance.
>The Law is envisioned as “a comprehensive and fundamental law in the field of ethnic work.” Like statutes of this nature, it primarily contains general policy statements and imposes broad obligations on a wide array of state and private actors, with few enforceable rules. But it should not be dismissed as merely symbolic. The Law would legitimize and entrench Xi’s new doctrine by placing it on a firm legal footing. And, precisely because of its open-textured policy goals, it would supply a capacious statutory basis—à la the 2015 National Security Law [国家安全法]—for all official actions that broadly align with those goals.
>The Law’s high-profile legislative journey demonstrates its importance. The Communist Party expressly called for its enactment in the 2024 Third Plenum Decision. Last August, the Party revealed that the full Politburo had discussed a draft of the Law—the first such disclosure in almost four decades. In December, the NPC Standing Committee decided to refer the bill to the NPC on the ground that it qualifies as a “basic statute” [基本法律] on ethnic affairs that constitutionally must be approved by the full legislature.
>The Law’s political salience is also evident in two atypical features. First, it begins with a rare narrative preamble of over 800 characters. Only three statutes now include a preamble: the closely related Regional Ethnic Autonomy Law [民族区域自治法] and the Basic Laws of Hong Kong and Macao. Second, the Law uses Party-speak drawn from the “Twelve Musts” as the headings of three core chapters (II–IV): “Building a Shared Spiritual Home,” “Facilitating Interactions, Interchanges, and Intermingling,” and “Promoting Common Prosperity and Development.” Far from being descriptive and dry, as headings typically are, they incorporate key prongs of Xi’s doctrine and organize the Law around them.
>Finally, we briefly summarize the latest draft that NPC delegates received on March 5. This post will be updated after the Law’s final text is released.
The preamble presents the orthodox narrative that China’s various ethnic groups, through five millennia of shared history, have created a “unified multiethnic state”—“a community of common destiny bound by intertwined bloodlines, common beliefs, cultural similarities, economic interdependence, and close emotional ties”; and that, despite periods of foreign aggression after 1840, they have successfully preserved their civilization (para. 1).
>Later, the Communist Party, as the “vanguard of the Chinese people and the Zhonghua minzu,” led all ethnic groups in achieving independence and equality, charting “a correct path with Chinese characteristics for addressing ethnic issues” (para. 2). That approach has evolved into the Party’s “Important Thinking on Improving and Strengthening Ethnic Work,” under which its “main task” is to forge “a sense of community for the Chinese nation” [中华民族共同体意识]—a term that subsequently appears no fewer than 30 times in the Law (id.).
>The preamble concludes by calling on all citizens and institutions, state and private, to fulfill their shared obligations to “forge a sense of community for the Chinese nation” and to develop that community (para. 3).
>Chapters I and V set forth the organizational structure and overarching principles of ethnic governance. The Law affirms the Party’s “comprehensive leadership” over efforts to advance ethnic unity and progress (art. 2). Underneath it, the Party’s United Front Work Department and the National Ethnic Affairs Commission—the latter has been reporting to the former since 2018—are responsible for coordinating and supervising the implementation of the Party’s new ethnic policy (art. 41, para. 2).
>The Law declares “a sense of community for the Chinese nation” to be “the foundation of ethnic unity” (art. 6). It mobilizes the whole of government and society to achieve assimilationist goals, imposing general obligations on a wide range of public and private actors, including public employees, mass organizations, enterprises, public-service institutions, industry groups, religious institutions, neighborhood committees, and the military (arts. 42–48).
>Chapter II (Building a Shared Spiritual Home)lays the ideological foundation for the assimilation project. It affirms the policy of fostering identification with “the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China, and socialism with Chinese characteristics” through patriotic education, education in official historical narratives, publicity of “the fine Zhonghua traditional culture,” and promotion of “Chinese cultural symbols and image of the Chinese nation” (arts. 11–14).
>This Chapter then affords language and education particular attention. It incorporates the relevant rules of the newly revised Law on the Standard Spoken and Written Chinese Language [国家通用语言文字法], but often goes beyond them. For instance, it codifies the goal of having preschoolers become proficient in Putonghua and requires that Chinese characters be displayed more prominently than minority scripts if both must be used in public (art. 15, paras. 2, 4). It also tasks the education and ethnic affairs ministries with developing textbooks on “the community of the Chinese nation,” while requiring all schools to integrate that concept into their curricula (art. 16, paras. 1–2; art. 18, para. 1). This Chapter does vow to support the standardization, digitization, and preservation of minority texts (art. 15, para. 5), but the goal of such investment is to “protect languages from being completely forgotten rather than protecting their ongoing, everyday use by living people.”
>Finally, this Chapter broadly requires media, internet service providers, families, among others, to promote the Party’s ethnic policy (arts. 19–21). Parents are reminded of their duty to provide lawful family education and are prohibited from “instilling in minors ideas detrimental to ethnic unity and progress” (art. 20, para. 2).
>Chapter III (Facilitating Interactions, Interchanges, and Intermingling) aims to further social and spatial integration. It sets forth the overall governmental obligation to develop “inter-embedded community environments” [互嵌式社区环境] so that different ethnic groups can “live, study, build, share, work, and enjoy together” (art. 22). Toward that goal, local governments must strive to “forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation” and promote integration in all aspects of urban planning and governance (art. 23). Specifically, they are directed to implement policies to facilitate cross-regional population movement, employment, student enrollment, and teacher and youth exchanges (arts. 24–27).
>In addition, this Chapter instructs state authorities to promote integration by supporting—and shaping—volunteer services, cultural institutions (libraries, museums, etc.), the tourism industry, and modern technologies and online media (arts. 28–31). It reiterates internet service providers’ legal obligations to promptly stop the transmission of “information containing ethnic hatred, ethnic discrimination, or other content that undermines ethnic unity and progress.” (art. 31).
>Chapter IV (Promoting Common Prosperity and Development) focuses on integrating ethnic and border areas into national economic and security priorities. It requires all economic and social policies to further assimilationist objectives, to improve people’s lives and build popular support—and to help safeguard national unity and fight against separatism (art. 33). It emphasizes the “mission and responsibility” of ethnic areas to safeguard the nation’s “border security, resource and energy security, food security, and ecological security” (art. 34, para. 2). It also lays out general mandates for the relevant central and local authorities to improve infrastructure connectivity, develop appropriate local industries and agriculture, equalize public services, and strengthen environmental protection (arts. 35–38).
>This Chapter ends by pivoting to “civic and moral development” (art. 40). In the name of development, it announces the policy of “transforming outdated customs and traditions” [移风易俗] and “promoting a new culture of civility and progress” (id.). This provision appears to reflect the common stereotype that all ethnic minorities are “backward” and to curtail their distinctive cultural and religious practices.
>Chapters V and VI both touch on the Law’s enforcement mechanisms. It permits citizens to report conduct that “undermines ethnic unity and progress” and to lodge complaints against government agencies and employees who fail to discharge their obligations under the Law (art. 54, para. 1). When any such conduct also “undermines national interests or the public interest,” procuratorates may initiate public interest litigation (id. para. 2).
>Beyond generic provisions directing the competent authorities to stop violations and order corrections, and in some cases to issue warnings or notices of criticism, the Law by itself does not prescribe any meaningful punishments. Rather, it leaves penalties to be imposed under other applicable laws (arts. 57–62). For instance, inciting ethnic hatred or discrimination is punishable, depending on the severity, by up to 15 days of detention under the public-order offenses law, or up to 10 years in prison under the criminal code.
>Finally, the Law asserts jurisdiction over foreign organizations or individuals who “commit acts targeting the PRC that undermine ethnic unity and progress or create ethnic division” (art. 63).

China to Enshrine Xi-Era Ethnic Policy in New Law
>Next week, China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) is expected to adopt a Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress (Law) [民族团结进步促进法]—designed to codify General Secretary Xi Jinping’s new orthodoxy for governing China’s ethnic minorities. That doctrine, known as the “Important Thinking on Improving and Strengthening Ethnic Work,” reflects the “Second-Generation Ethnic Policies” promoted by several prominent scholars. In a nutshell, this new “assimilationist” approach aims “not just to strengthen citizens’ sense of belonging to a larger, unified Chinese nation under the Party but also to mute expression of other—in the Party’s view, competing—identities.”>Xi’s “Important Thinking” canonically consists of a dozen requirements, or “Twelve Musts” [十二个必须].

The first issue with the term is that it's just a lefty version of the Tedd Kaczinsky anti-consumption ideology, which in itself is an idealist and reactionary understanding of society.
Second, it implies that people vote for better economic conditions because the are "fascists", when the vast majority of votes are actually "punish" votes, where people vote for the opposition party to punish the party in power.
Third, it implies that fascism can be voted into power, and therefore, anti-fascisn can also be voted into power, which is utterly stupid, as communism can't arise from bourgeois electoralism
Basically anyone that uses the term should be automatically ignored.

(i) there has been no socialist seizure of power
(ii) for western european countries, they had a significant communist movement when it was backed by the USSR. After the latter's fall, they disintegrated
(iii) for the anglosphere, there never was a significant communist movement at all
So, what is the materialist explanation for this? According to a simple, straighforward Marxist logic, these countries should have the most developped proletariat and thus should be leading in terms of 'socialist experiments'. These countries have had many 'Marxist intellectuals', famous internationally recognised ones. And yet, one struggles to see a movement emanating from them. From the Western proletariat, we get absolute nothingness. From the Western 'Marxist intellectuals', we just get endless bitching about how Stalin and the USSR was bad.
Is there something lacking in the conventional understanding of class struggle?
While I do not agree with the 'civilisational' arguments, does history show us that there is something about 'Western civilisation' which is less conducive to socialism/communism? (On this issue, I am relating to chud-fash narratives, but rather Emmanuel Todd's study on family structures of different demographics for example, which he argues played a role in the development of socialist regimes in the East and not the West).
Leftypolaks, discuss. I want to be enriched.

The current PLA was reborn in 2021 from the People's Liberation Army of 1948-1949. In 1967, the party and army at the Bago Yoma Base were surrounded and massacred by the enemy military group. On March 15, 1975, the party's highest leader, Chairman Thakin Zin, and Secretary Thakin Chit were killed. The party and army were thought to be dead. However, the Party and the army stood firm in the Northeast Military Region in 1967-1968. In 1989, the enemy military regime used a bloodless division within the Party and the army to disintegrate the Party and the army, using ethnic nationalist forces to crush and kill them. They even widely propagated that the Communist Party and the army no longer existed. However, the PLA was reborn in the 2021 People's Armed Revolution.
(b) I congratulate the PLA's spirit of independence during the past five years.
Political and ideological independence.
The Party and the PLA are not under the political influence of any other country. They have demonstrated in practice that they are an independent and self-reliant force under the direct and absolute leadership of the Communist Party of Burma. They are a party and a force that independently set their own path and policies and walk forward.
Economic Independence
The PLA is not supported by any foreign country. It has never received a single penny of aid from foreign governments. In 1948-1949, the PLA had to feed its soldiers with bowls and baskets from the people in the Kyaukse market. Today, the PLA is a force that relies on the people and relies on the people. The people in the country donate their hard-earned money to the PLA every month. Overseas workers donate their wages to the PLA every month. The new generation of the party's young people have collected whatever they have earned abroad and at home and donated it to the PLA. In the countryside, the people donate rice and vegetables to the PLA. The people are the PLA's main supporter. Without the people, the PLA would not exist. Similarly, the PLA also adheres to the slogan that every step of the PLA is for the benefit of the oppressed people.
(c) We must sincerely honor the PLA's spirit of sacrificing their lives for the benefit of the people.
(d) Honoring the PLA's self-sacrificing political consciousness for the people's good during the past five years.
During the past five years, the PLA has also attached great importance to political construction in building the army from all sides. Comrades train hard in the military training course during the day and tirelessly in the political training course at night. During the five years of continuous training at the Party Central Training School, comrades have repeatedly attended and studied hard. Therefore, the PLA has become a relatively politically capable army.

New Comminques from the People's Liberation Army of Burma, armed wing of the Burmese Communist Party:
"Celebrating the Fifth Anniversary of the Rebirth of the People's Liberation Army-PLA" Message from the New Democracy Group
To all PLA commanders and soldiers:
(15-3-2026) marks the fifth anniversary of the rebirth of the PLA.
Our letter and message have two main meanings.
- Congratulation 2. Encouragement.
- Congratulation
The current PLA was reborn in 2021 from the People's Liberation Army of 1948-1949. In 1967, the party and army at the Bago Yoma Base were surrounded and massacred by the enemy military group. On March 15, 1975, the party's highest leader, Chairman Thakin Zin, and Secretary Thakin Chit were killed. The party and army were thought to be dead.

They even widely propagated that the Communist Party and the army no longer existed. However, the PLA was reborn in the 2021 People's Armed Revolution.
- The PLA was reborn in the 2021 People's Tide Movement.
- The PLA was reborn as part of the long-standing efforts of the Communist Party of Burma to rebirth.
- It is also the result of the noble contributions made by the strong leaders and comrades who have made great efforts despite all the difficulties to reestablish the PLA.
- The PLA was not only born alive but also gradually developed strongly due to the unity of the working class and peasants, students, the urban poor and middle class, the emerging bourgeoisie and the revolutionary national capitalists.
(b) I congratulate the PLA's spirit of independence during the past five years.
Political and ideological independence.

(c) We must sincerely honor the PLA's spirit of sacrificing their lives for the benefit of the people.
- In 2021, Comrade Aung Ba Nyo, also known as Comrade Hnin Aung, the political commander of the PLA No. 1 Military Region, sacrificed his life for the benefit of the people on (3-12-2021).
- During the 1027 Operation in northeastern Myanmar, 12 heroic martyrs lost their lives in the battle to capture Sinni. Many of them lost their limbs and were injured.
- During the siege and attack on the No. 13 Military Academy (Corporal Academy) strongly defended by the enemy coup army in Moe Mai Gwin (Khon) for almost a year, 6 or more PLA comrades were killed and many were injured. There were other comrades who fell fighting the enemy in the rain.
- Comrade Aung Thura (Comrade Htun Naing) was killed in the battle of Phalan O village, west of Pakokku, Magway Division. There were 2 other comrades who fell in Magway Division.
- In the battle to capture the enemy camp in Kandaung, Pearl, 12 PLA comrades lost their lives. 67 were injured. 9 comrades lost their limbs. (In the past five years, 17 comrades from the PLA Northwest Military Region have lost their lives.)
(d) Honoring the PLA's self-sacrificing political consciousness for the people's good during the past five years.
During the past five years, the PLA has also attached great importance to political construction in building the army from all sides.

It really feels like people went insane during and after this period. Everyone and everything just got worse and never bounced back.

Why Leftism is dangerous and not just stupid or annoying
This is an educational post aimed at Leftcoms only, so Leftists can just ignore it and go away.
Many Leftcoms think that Leftists are just stupid and misguided, and that eventually they can be "converted" via education or being shown to be wrong via real world events. This is an extremely misguided and dangerous thought.
Most Leftists are not stupid and misguided. Rather, they are intelligent Nationalists who maliciously, consciously and successfully divert anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist energies into generating support for whatever their favorite nation/ethnicity/ideology is.
Leftists are fundamentally pro-capitalist and pro-narionalist. If any real worker revolution or revolt occurs, leftists will arise to co-opt those groups and neutralize them and fold them back into their specific nationalist program and political economy.
Most importantly, if any real communist person or group attempts to prevent this co-option, leftists will kill, arrest or exile those communists.
Leftists, being the left wing of capital, should therefore not be understood as merely misguided or dumb, but they are an active and dangerous military threat to all communists, militant workers and proletarian revolutionaries.
If Leftcoms continue to follow the mental path of "haha Leftists are just dumb and they'll fall in line once reality hits" then they themselves will follow the same path as those communists who were slaughtered by Stalinists.
For a communist revolution to be succesful, there must be an armed struggle not just against the existing capitalists and reactionaries, but also against leftists as well.

‘If I go home, we don’t have enough money’: the low-paid Filipino workers caught up in the war on Iran
The war that has erupted between the US, Israel and Iran, engulfing the region, has already proved deadly to Filipinos workers abroad. On 28 February, 32-year-old Mary Ann De Vera, a Filipino working as a carer, became the first casualty of the conflict in Israel. She was killed in Tel Aviv after being hit by shrapnel while escorting her employer, an older woman, to a shelter. Her employer survived.
