>Oversocialization can lead to low self-esteem, a sense of powerlessness, defeatism, guilt, etc. One of the most important means by which our society socializes children is by making them feel ashamed of behavior or speech that is contrary to society’s expectations. If this is overdone, or if a particular child is especially susceptible to such feelings, he ends by feeling ashamed of himself Moreover, the thought and the behavior of the oversocialized person are more restricted by society’s expectations than are those of the lightly-socialized person. The majority of people engage in a significant amount of naughty behavior. They lie, they commit petty thefts, they break traffic laws, they goof off at work, they hate someone, they say spiteful things or they use some underhanded trick to get ahead of the other guy. The oversocialized person cannot do these things, or if he does do them he generates in himself a sense of shame and self-hatred. The oversocialized person cannot even experience, without guilt, thoughts or feelings that are contrary to the accepted morality; he cannot think “unclean” thoughts. And socialization is not just a matter of morality; we are socialized to conform to many norms of behavior that do not fall under the heading of morality. Thus the oversocialized person is kept on a psychological leash and spends his life running on rails that society has laid down for him. In many oversocialized people this results in a sense of constraint and powerlessness that can be a severe hardship. We suggest that oversocialization is among the more serious cruelties that human beings inflict on one another.

What are some ideologically engaging places to visit on a trip in China? For better or for worse red tourism there seems particularly developed and commodified - I'm looking forward to seeing the contrast to eastern europe red historical sites, where post-communist states either tear it all down(Ukraine), fail to maintain it (Bosnia), or worse of all give it a lib rebranding as some kind of solemn commemoration to a dark age(Czech)Are there any red themed sites you have enjoyed visiting or are looking to visit?

With that being said, any business which is capable of expanding (not limited by logistics, communications, language restrictions, etc), would like to do so. That means the only difference between actual globalism and proto-globalism, which took shape in not only the early stages of capitalism but even the classical era (think Phoenicians, Babylonians, etc), is the technological means of projecting power. If economics are downstream from power politics, then capitalism as an economic system is downstream from owners of capital engaging in political maneuver.
Is capitalism essentially just proto-globalism?
My understanding is that the basis of capitalism is essentially the capacity for capitalists (owners of capital) to rise in power which is equal to or above the government under which they supposedly exist. It is the "deep state" of the economy. Yes, there is a class situation, but it is the capitalist class' unique ability to completely overwhelm the other classes with power that we define "capitalism" as.With that being said, any business which is capable of expanding (not limited by logistics, communications, language restrictions, etc), would like to do so.

Some 16 year old kid who recently discovered Marx will have fun watching North Korean propaganda will think the US is some evil dicatorship that manipulates people to participate in consumer culture as a means of distracting them from the "truth". In that way, they're not that different from redditors talking about how they're so ready for the US to drop bombs on Kim Jong Un's evil army because they read an AMA or watched a North Korean documentary on "Human Rights".
In my opinion that North Korea is at a point where a) they can someday let US/NATO invade so they can point fingers and say "See?! You see what this bully does to me?" or b) they let China build up economically and ride their coattails while saying "see, we were right all along. These Westerners are arrogant, short termed people".
And if we were to go to war, I'd volunteer in a heartbeat to fight my way and free those prison camps. But we're not at war, so you can't force this stuff. You have to work diplomatically and patiently, muddling your way through all the truths and lies of the situation. Because people are suffering in those prison camps and North Korea isn't exactly a stable country.
North Korea
North Korea isn't willing to open up very much, so the only people who are willing to open up are people who have been exposed to the harsher places there and wanted to leave. If for example some Native Americans from tribal lands were to create a petition about their plight and their disappearing culture and how the US government does very little for their communities obviously the US government would try to help and ultimately, wouldn't put people in labor camps and cut off body parts or whatever like North Korea does. The point is that, like North Korean defectors, anyone can use Native Americans as propaganda against the US and they can do it for legitimate reasons but it's not for the right reason.Some 16 year old kid who recently discovered Marx will have fun watching North Korean propaganda will think the US is some evil dicatorship that manipulates people to participate in consumer culture as a means of distracting them from the "truth".

Abe used to dance around questions about whether or not Japan was the aggressor in WWII, saying things like, 'oh the historians are still debating that, we should hear out both sides of the debate,' while Takaichi openly says that it was a "war for security" and justified under self-defense.
She's also in love with the idea of war with China of course.

•They support national liberation movements and/or nations.
•They choose the "lesser evil" from capitalist reactionary positions.
•They are not interested in material analysis or class analysis, only in identity politics (meaningless "cultural analysis" of races, orientations, genders, and similar issues).
•They concern themselves with cultural preservation (disguised conservativism) as opposed to societal development.
•They accept and present, or sympathize with, the most reactionary ideologies (like primitivism) as legitimate forms of "anarchism".
•They don’t see a problem with participating in the market economy (hiring for wage labor, making profit, running businesses, etc.) and deny the need for a planned economy.
•They don’t see the contradictions between religion and science or deliberately ignore them and avoid criticizing certain religions (such as Islam) while creating contradictory modernizations (i.e. queer feminist anarcha-islam),
•They do not apply or know immanent critique.
•They see no problem in participating in popular fronts built on class collaboration in a battle against a "greater evil," such as fascism/"anti-fascism," in defense of the liberal bourgeois democracy that gave birth to it.
•They ignore contradictions between different positions and/or fall for the false and self-destructive contradictory notion of "left unity" (alliances with Marxists, Leninists, Stalinists, Maoists, Trotskyists, the left wing of capital).
•They are autonomists, not internationalists, and fail to recognize the need for a world revolution, instead focusing on regionalism, awaiting to be crushed or subverted.
•They are suicidally inclined and believe in adventurism, or they support it by encouraging fruitless sacrifices.
•They fail to see the problems with activism, especially the contradiction of rejecting the state while protesting to demand reforms for "better conditions" (softer bourgeois power, to appease the workers - State Socialism was a set of social programs implemented in the German Empire that were initiated by Otto von Bismarck in 1883 as remedial measures to appease the working class and detract support for socialism [sic] )
•They deny, oppose or bastardize anarchist-communism.
•They reject materialism and praise utopianism, as their idea of "anarchism" is purely aesthetic.
•They lack fundamental knowledge and analysis of the capitalist mode of production (often due to rejecting Capital out of unprecedented anger towards Marx, yet no anarchist has written an equilivent of such a book besides Carlos Cafiero who took the time to simplify volume I and received a thanks letter from Marx himself).
•They reject uniformity, a program and/or are simply punks with a false-impression of contrarian thought.
•They glorify failed historical projects (Makhnovschina. Catalonia, Kronstadt) and seek fault in those who destroyed them, rather than analyze and acknowledge the failiures in the fact they were unable to defend themselves and were thus unstable as to learn from the mistakes of the past rather than repeating / replicating it.
Overall these problems seem resolveable to me, a lot of them have their own equilivents within the opponents of anarchism as well, who in essence are even more unprincipled and spineless, with the exception of the ultras who remain marginal and are supposedly awaiting for the favorable historical conditions to arise.

Some problems with modern "anarchists" - by me
Some of the problems with modern "anarchists" are the following:•They support national liberation movements and/or nations.
•They choose the "lesser evil" from capitalist reactionary positions.
•They are not interested in material analysis or class analysis, only in identity politics (meaningless "cultural analysis" of races, orientations, genders, and similar issues).
•They concern themselves with cultural preservation (disguised conservativism) as opposed to societal development.
•They accept and present, or sympathize with, the most reactionary ideologies (like primitivism) as legitimate forms of "anarchism".
•They don’t see a problem with participating in the market economy (hiring for wage labor, making profit, running businesses, etc.) and deny the need for a planned economy.
•They don’t see the contradictions between religion and science or deliberately ignore them and avoid criticizing certain religions (such as Islam) while creating contradictory modernizations (i.e. queer feminist anarcha-islam),
•They do not apply or know immanent critique.
•They see no problem in participating in popular fronts built on class collaboration in a battle against a "greater evil," such as fascism/"anti-fascism," in defense of the liberal bourgeois democracy that gave birth to it.
•They ignore contradictions between different positions and/or fall for the false and self-destructive contradictory notion of "left unity" (alliances with Marxists, Leninists, Stalinists, Maoists, Trotskyists, the left wing of capital).
•They are autonomists, not internationalists, and fail to recognize the need for a world revolution, instead focusing on regionalism, awaiting to be crushed or subverted.
•They are suicidally inclined and believe in adventurism, or they support it by encouraging fruitless sacrifices.
•They fail to see the problems with activism, especially the contradiction of rejecting the state while protesting to demand reforms for "better conditions" (softer bourgeois power, to appease the workers - State Socialism was a set of social programs implemented in the German Empire that were initiated by Otto von Bismarck in 1883 as remedial measures to appease the working class and detract support for socialism [sic] )
•They deny, oppose or bastardize anarchist-communism.
•They reject materialism and praise utopianism, as their idea of "anarchism" is purely aesthetic.
•They lack fundamental knowledge and analysis of the capitalist mode of production (often due to rejecting Capital out of unprecedented anger towards Marx, yet no anarchist has written an equilivent of such a book besides Carlos Cafiero who took the time to simplify volume I and received a thanks letter from Marx himself).
•They reject uniformity, a program and/or are simply punks with a false-impression of contrarian thought.
•They glorify failed historical projects (Makhnovschina. Catalonia, Kronstadt) and seek fault in those who destroyed them, rather than analyze and acknowledge the failiures in the fact they were unable to defend themselves and were thus unstable as to learn from the mistakes of the past rather than repeating / replicating it.

If American communists actually care about achieving socialism then they should work on destroying the United States.
Most of Western imperialism, Israel's continued existence, the global suppression of socialist movements across the world. It all literally hinges on the United States. You will not have your socialist revolution in the US any time soon anyway and not without the current order collapsing. The most noble thin you can do is to do whatever is in your power to accelerate the collapse of the United States.

On October 3, it was announced that this Indigenous struggle in Paraguay had been successful. The leaders of the protests said, “Our heroic resistance has paid off. Today, the first point of our demand was achieved: the dismissal of Ramón Benegas from the presidency of the INDI. Following this measure, we held a meeting with the new president of the INDI, Mr. Hugo Samaniego, to whom we reiterated our demands. The new president agreed to return INDI’s headquarters to Asunción, which will allow for the full reactivation of services to our brothers and sisters.”

Trouble brewing: Maya people in Yucatán fear new Heineken plant’s thirst for water
At a rallying point in the city, protesters read from a manifesto and accuse the government of prioritising profit over water, health and land. They denounce a wave of mega-projects imposed without their consent, from industrial-scale pig farms to the controversial Maya Train tourist expansion. But they reserve their greatest anger for the Heineken brewery in Kanasín, near Mérida, which was announced in June.

Israeli attacks across the besieged Gaza Strip have killed at least 70 Palestinians, medical sources said, despite calls from United States President Donald Trump for Israel to stop its bombardment after Hamas said it had accepted some elements of Trump’s 20-point plan to end Israel’s war. At least 45 of the victims killed in bombardments and air strikes on Saturday were in the famine-struck Gaza City, where the Israeli army has been pressing an offensive in recent weeks, forcing some one million residents to flee to the overcrowded south.

Judges said the posts incited violence and chaos and violated Tunisia’s penal code as well as the controversial 2022 cybercrime law, Decree 54. The ruling is the first of its kind in Tunisia, where dozens have been handed heavy prison sentences over similar charges since Saied seized power over all branches of government in July 2021.

The military has publicly denied all such stories. But the sheer virality of the posts – shared widely by Duterte-linked influencers – has forced military leaders to push back with repeated clarifications and warnings.

What's the best way to convince anarchists that power and hierarchy aren't inherently bad?
Anarkids act like they understand theory and sociology better than Marxists do. They love getting on their moral high horse by calling everything "oppression". Yet when you actually pick apart their arguments you'll see that they're full of hot air 95% of the time. They talk a good deal about intersectionality and anti-oppression, but when pressed on how to abolish those oppressive structures in society they have no clue.
Marxism, OTOH, is scientific. We understand that political power is necessary to reshape society. We also understand that hierarchies need to exist until we reach the stage of communism, and even then you will still see things like hierarchies of intelligence, talent, beauty, strength, and so on that can't simply be abolished through idealist methods.
But how do you explain this without looking like you're making apologia for oppression? I've tried the Hegelian way of simply saying "the real is rational" but that doesn't get through anarkids' heads very well.

What’s stopping China from helping Detroit?
Think about it. China does foreign policy based on sift power rather than militarism or blackmail. China builds hospitals in Mali in exchange for good, rather than invading and seizing the gold for themselves. China is the reason hundreds of millions of people in Africa have electricity and running water, right? If China can do this, why aren’t they stepping in and helping Detroit rebuild?
China could fund mass construction projects. Build housing all over Detroit that resembles housing in Chinese cities. Build a functioning metro/train system. Build more hospitals. Build better schools that look like wonder museums rather than prisons. Build urban farms to fix the food desert issue. Give Detroit the latest and greatest tech. Bring back millions of jobs. Why not?
China turns shitholes into functioning cities. Just compare their cities from 37 years ago to their cities now. They could easily do the same for Detroit. Trump Administration be damned. Just get the mayor of Detroit to form a working relationship with Xi and the CPC and watch things happen.

What is to be done about the German Question? It seems that a good German is an anomaly.
What is the materialist explanation for Germany being so cucked?

The capitalist class operates with little regard for borders, a fluidity it leverages to its advantage. The entire United States functions as a network of neocolonies—these states host governments that do not represent their people, but rather the corporations that operate within them. The majority of the population is exploited within this system; in fact, only a privileged 10% truly benefit from the capitalist-imperialist economy.
Beneath this broadly exploited class lies a layer of the hyper-exploited, who form the core source of slave labor for this anti-life regime. This super-exploitation is manufactured along racial, gender, and other lines, a deliberate construct of capitalism's superstructure. The rise of a hyper-militarized "War from Within," waged by agencies like ICE, makes this brutally clear. Hispanic people—and by extension, Indigenous people, as the term "Hispanic" is itself a colonizer label invented in the 1970s to impose a European (Spanish) heritage—are primary targets. Even the spectacle of Proud Boys leaders who identify as Hispanic cannot obscure this systemic reality; it only reiterates the haunting contradictions we must confront.
This pattern is rooted in an unfinished past. The first American Revolution of 1776 was ultimately a war over which faction of the capitalist class would control the colonies. While it included a small but notable faction of true people's revolutionaries—figures like Thomas Paine, who argued for abolishing slavery from the outset—they failed. Their defeat meant the people's revolution was never completed.
Therefore, we are not simply communists or anarchists, though we may be influenced by both. We are abolitionists. Our purpose is to finish that people's revolution and free this land from capital's control.
This struggle did not begin with us, nor did it pause after 1776. It is a continuous thread woven through this land's history: in the pan-tribal resistance led by Tecumseh, in the stunning victory of Indigenous nations at the Battle of Little Bighorn, in the bloody righteousness of Nat Turner’s rebellion, and in John Brown’s holy war against chattel slavery. The Civil War itself contained revolutionary, abolitionist currents that were ultimately subverted by capital, which traded chattel slavery for the prison of sharecropping and Jim Crow.
This tradition of people's war was carried into the industrial era by the IWW, which waged a protracted struggle from the 1880s to the 1930s. They were ultimately squashed not just by state violence, but by the betrayal of turncoat communists within the CPUSA and other factions that chose alignment with social democrats over revolutionary solidarity.
Even the global fight against fascism in WWII was subverted. While millions fought with an anti-fascist spirit, American corporations had fueled Hitler's rise, and after the war, the state imported Nazi scientists via Operation Paperclip, integrating their expertise into the U.S. military-industrial complex. Remember the Business Plot of 1933, where financiers attempted a fascist coup against FDR; though it failed, its architects remained in positions of immense power.
The central problem has always been the strategic separation of perspectives through intentional racial division, a tactic solidified after Bacon's Rebellion. That rebellion was a prototype, unifying black and white workers to such a degree that the ruling class was forced to invent the concept of "whiteness" and codify chattel slavery to shatter that solidarity.
We can view this entire history through a hauntological lens: If Bacon's Rebellion achieved that much, we must imagine the lost future where that alliance also united with the native tribes, successfully ousting the private landed gentry. That ghost of a future, which was stolen from us, holds the key to the future we can still inherit.
It has been 533 years since Columbus landed on Turtle Island in search of trade, gold, and markets; 406 years since the first person of African descent was brought to these shores in bondage; 350 years since Bacon's Rebellion; and 250 years since the capitalist class subverted the revolutionary currents of 1776—the pattern of division becomes starkly visible across the centuries.
The central, enduring problem of American history has been the strategic separation of perspectives through intentional racial division, a tactic systematically codified in the wake of Bacon's Rebellion. That uprising was a fiery prototype of class solidarity, unifying enslaved Africans, European indentured servants, and landless freemen to such a dangerous degree that the terrified ruling class was forced to engineer a social solution: they invented the legal and social concept of "whiteness" and hardened the system of hereditary chattel slavery specifically to shatter that multiracial solidarity. This was the "counter-revolution of 1676," a preemptive strike against a people's revolution that has shaped all that followed.
We must therefore view this entire history through a hauntological lens. We are haunted by the futures that were stolen from us. If the pursuit of trade and gold 533 years ago initiated this cycle of extraction and division, and if the solidarity glimpsed 350 years ago in Bacon's Rebellion was so potent it required a new system of apartheid to contain it, then we must actively imagine the lost future where that rebel alliance also united with the native tribes whose land was the rebellion's initial object. Imagine a future where that coalition—of the enslaved, the indentured, the landless, and the indigenous—successfully ousted the private landed gentry and built a society on a foundation of mutual interest, not racial capitalism.
That ghost of a future, a possibility born 350 years ago and suppressed ever since, is a key. It unlocks the understanding that our present is built on a foundation of deliberately fractured solidarity. We are recovering a roadmap to the future we were denied, a future that, in recognizing its own stolen potential, we can still choose to inherit.

I need some advice. I applied to join the communist party but my application was rejected. It might have something to do with me being a foreigner/immigrant and the communist party is only for citizens of the European country. What do you think I should do?
Should I contact the national leadership and ask them if the party is only open to citizens? Should I join a Trotskyist org? Should I go scorched Earth and tell anyone who'd listen that the communist party is made up of chauvinists?
I'm at a loss here.

Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk told Al Jazeera that the group would not disarm before the Israeli occupation ends. "The other issues mentioned in President Trump’s proposal regarding the future of the Gaza Strip and the inherent rights of the Palestinian people are linked to a comprehensive national position based on relevant international laws and resolutions, and are being discussed within a national framework," the Hamas statement said. A Hamas senior representative in Doha, Osama Hamdan, told Al Araby TV following the announcement that Hamas will not accept foreign governorship of the enclave, and that it must be run by Palestinians, even transitionally.

US judge dismisses lawsuit accusing UN agency of aiding Hamas attack on Israel
U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan said the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) had "absolute immunity" from the lawsuit because it is a subsidiary of the United Nations, which has immunity from such lawsuits. In her decision made public on Wednesday, Torres also rejected an argument that UNRWA was merely a "specialized agency" not entitled to immunity.

From Ang Bayan: NPA Unit Conducts Successful Attack On AFP Troops In Samar Province
Western Samar (Arnulfo Ortiz Command) unit fired the first shots against the 8th ID troopers operating in Sitio San Pedro, Barangay Poblacion 3, San Jose de Buan, Samar on the afternoon of September 27. With high alertness and guerrilla readiness, the people’s army’s attack killed one soldier and injured many others. The NPA-Western Samar reported that at 5 p.m. that day the 8th ID deployed a helicopter to retrieve its wounded soldiers. The soldiers again squandered funds the next day by flying another helicopter.

Protests, Violence Erupt in Pakistan-Administered Kashmir
At the heart of the unrest lies JAAC’s 38-point charter of demands, which channels public anger over soaring electricity tariffs, rising food prices, and entrenched elite privileges. Despite multiple rounds of talks with federal and local authorities, the deadlock persists. What began as issue-based agitation has evolved into one of the most widespread protest movements the region has witnessed in years, exposing a deepening crisis of representation and legitimacy.

He also targeted environmental regulations in a clear signal to big business that it will be given carte blanche to rake in profits by ignoring and trampling on the most basic environmental protections.

I noticed there is no thread for France related shit. So let this be one. French people deserve a safe space and guarantees for their continued existence on loser imageboards!
J'ai remarqué qu'il n'y a pas de thread dedié pour la France, alors que les salauds américains et anglais en ont des centaines. Français, ne succombez pas à l'impérialisme anglochiotte!
Subjets of Macronpiter, leave a post.

My pick is Calvin Coolidge, since the best thing we can hope for in a capitalist / imperial leader is a complete hands off isolationist (and military defunding) approach. So what if he was a libertarian wet dream

I have two reasons for Peru:
1. It is isolated and unknown.
2. It is negligent to crime.
A few issues:
1. Budget.
2. Language.
3. Lack of connections to obtain marijuana, opium, growing seeds and lab equipment.
4. Lack of anti-WOD transhumanist scientifically oriented researchers, militiants.
5. Lack of arms, munitions.
6. Lack of will to abandon current civil life.
7. Interpol & CIA.
Some benefits of the compound:
-A supply of drugs to all militiants.
-Housing quarters.
-Farming quarters (growing).
-Farming quarters (livestock).
-Rainwater extraction system.
-Technomadic rural life in nature.

I see many knowledgeable comrades here (both pro and anti Stalin). I have always been intrigued by the trials of the Stalin era, so I will be making threads about them. Not all at once, of course, I do not want to flood the board. They will also not be in chronological order. I start wih the Rudolf Slansky trial, as it is perhaps the one I hear the least about.
The main accusations were high treason, Titoism and Zionism. They were all found guilty. Critics call the trials antisemitic.
Please enlighten me on every aspect possible: the accusations, the trial and the supposed ‘antisemitism’.
I thank you all for your contribution.

Give specific policies and actions, not just vague stuff about "beating the corrupt bureaucrats!"
You're designated head of the Soviet Republics in 1981, how do you save the union ?
Memes aside, how could the soviet republics have managed to keep unity and rivalize with the west whilst maintaining an image of a viable alternative to normal people from the 1980s-onwards ? Lastly, would a soviet model as it was intended to work in practice be actually desirable as a socialist model ?Give specific policies and actions, not just vague stuff about "beating the corrupt bureaucrats!"

No actual realistic steps seem to be discussed ever. It's either pining for deportations or masturbatory fantasies about Total (insert boogeyman here) Death
This isn't even getting into how contradictory these types can be, plenty of white nationalists will pine after non white women
how exactly do wignats expect to achieve their "ethnostate"
This is a question I have always had, usually when reading their forums they just go on and on about how they're going to magically deport 100 million non-whites from America and then they'll live happily ever after.No actual realistic steps seem to be discussed ever.

On Treatlerism
I know you American folks like to freak out whenever someone calls you treatlers and insinuate that you are collaborators in your government's imperialism and world raping. But let's be honest, between us, it is true right? I know the Theory of Treatlerism is not glamorous… but it is correct, right?

From Reuters:
''ANTANANARIVO, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Security forces fired teargas to disperse hundreds of young protesters in Madagascar's capital who took to the streets again on Tuesday despite the president's decision to partly yield to their demands by dissolving the government.
Andry Rajoelina went on state television late on Monday and said he wanted to create room for dialogue with young people pressing for access to water and an end to power cuts, and promised measures to support businesses affected by looting.''
''In a message on the protest movement's Facebook page, some of the protest organisers said they were disappointed by his speech and demanded an apology from him and the now dismissed prime minister, as well as the firing of Antananarivo's administrator.
Others went further, waving placards with messages such as "We need water, we need electricity, Rajoelina out", footage of protesters marching in the capital Antananarivo, broadcast on the privately owned broadcaster Real TV Madagasikara, showed.''
Leftypol scholars, what do you think? Lumpen-rioting, based proletarian revolution, or CIA-colour revolution?

<It was the first time the IPC has recorded famine outside of Africa, and the global group predicted that famine conditions would spread to the central and southern areas of Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis by the end of next month.

Political implications of more Americans converting to Catholicism?
The American right was heavily associated with Evangelical idpol for the past 50 years. They became the cultural backbone of the GOP from the 80s to the late 2000s. Now it appears like a huge number of former Evangelicals are converting to Catholicism. I even know some ex-Mormons who are Catholic now.
At the same time, it seems like leftists are embracing Catholicism too. Remember when everyone was convinced Pope Francis was a secret socialist? Jacobin mag goes out of their way with appealing to Catholics as well (every other article of theirs is something along the lines of: “Move over pink-haired bipolar feminist queers, here’s why the Catholic Church are the REAL socialists!”). People like Dorothy Day are propped up even though her actual contributions to the American left were minimal and symbolic at best (the Catholic Worker also referred to the priests killed by /ourguys/ in Catalonia as “martyrs” which is disgusting). Not to mention, the Jacobin crowd seems very big on appealing to right-wing Catholic sentiments like complaining about birthrates being too low and proposing Bernie-style policies like universal healthcare to “fix” it, as if low birthrates are a problem to begin with.
But anyway, if Catholicism becomes a major cultural force in America in the next few years how do you see it affecting the political landscape?

<Letter from Lenin Edition
Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.

Comrades, can someone explain the historical origin of the blood libel without hysterics? I feel like it must be really false in regards to Jews if only because Torah directly prohibits the consumption of any kind of blood (even the one of an animal), but… it feels a bit too specific to be competely made up. What is happening there?

One can be racist against 'white' people. 'White' supremacist society is institutionally harmful to 'whites' despite the benefits it provides. Anti-racists acknowledge this and understand how anti-racist movements have also broadly benefited 'whites'.
One can be classist against the bourgeoisie. Capitalist society is institutionally harmful to the bourgeoisie despite the benefits it provides. Socialists acknowledge this and understand how socialist movements have also broadly benefited the owning class.
Whether these prejudices are necessary or justified is a personal opinion. However, it is absurd and hilarious to pretend, for a common example, "you can't be racists against white people". This slogan signals denial, a post-liberalist rationalization, based on the idealist assumption that "racism is bad because uuhh it just is", and that they don't see themselves as bad, that their racism is therefore not racism. Instead, we must understand why racism is harmful to society, both institutional racism and other forms.
For another example, classism may be rationalized by oversimplifying the class tendency for the bourgeoisie to preserve their superiority. Perhaps a proletarian revolution, under the pressures of counterrevolution, may unfortunately resort to some form of classicide when circumstances don't give us the opportunity for nuance. This is not ideal, we know many heroic traitors of the bourgeois class who have sided with the proletarian movement. But it may be justified or rationalized when circumstances force it. For example, the regicide of the Romanovs was a tactically beneficial action. We've seen historical cases where royalty have rejected their title and privilege, but due to circumstances, the Bolsheviks would have been irresponsible to let the Romanovs live simply for this possibility, while on the other hand, the CPC were responsible to let Puyi live. Perhaps, if there were not an ongoing royalist civil war, the Romanovs could have been given a similar fate…

Libertarian/Socialist alliance to save America
Massie/AOC 2028! End the empire, defund Israel, cut off the war machine in Ukraine, dismantle NATO, bring every troop home. Tear out the surveillance state, gut the FBI, shred the Patriot Act, and stop wasting trillions propping up corporations and foreign parasites while Americans starve. That’s a real left-right coalition that can actually work…

Basically, I don't think antisemitism or any purported "rise" in it should matter at all when discussing a genocide. It's gotta be one of the least impactful forms of racism when it comes to actual material consequences. It mainly exists online and not in real life. It is SLIGHTLY worse than "anti-white racism," as the odd Nazi will shoot up a synagogue every once in a while, but they'll also shoot up grocery stores or schools so, you know, there's that.
It's not like antisemitism is good, but it shouldn't be treated like it's a graver sin than anti-black racism or Islamophobia, which it currently is. You're ostracized from society if you're deemed an antisemite, whereas with other forms of racism you can get away with a lot more. It's a double-standard that makes zero sense with the current power dynamic.
Tell me if I'm being antisemitic here
Basically I've been kind of thinking that antisemitism isn't a big deal. At all. And there's no rise in it and it wouldn't matter if there was. I think it's functionally almost equivalent to so-called "anti-white racism." Jews were persecuted in the past, but time moves on, and they're not an eternal victim. They are now a race of oppressors, just like white people. And not all white people are bad either, but no one gives a fuck if I call a white guy a cracker, because it doesn't matter. There is no systemic anti-white racism, and there is no systemic antisemitism anymore either. Jews aren't being rejected from jobs or housing.Basically, I don't think antisemitism or any purported "rise" in it should matter at all when discussing a genocide.

"The aggression against civilian ships carrying Italian citizens is an extremely serious matter," CGIL said in a statement. “It is not only a crime against defenceless people, but it is also serious that the Italian government has abandoned Italian workers in open international waters, violating our constitutional principles.” Francesco Staccioli, of USB’s confederal executive, told Middle East Eye that unlike a previous strike in solidarity with the flotilla on 22 September, Friday’s work stoppage would go ahead without respecting the minimum notice period of 10 days, which is required under Italian law. “We didn’t respect the notice period as this is too urgent,” Staccioli said, adding that CGIL’s decision to follow suit is unprecedented.

Other protests were planned in Paris and other cities including Dijon, Metz, Poitiers and Montpellier. Aurelie Gagnier, the co-general secretary of the FSU-SNUipp education union, told France Info that there was a “lack of political clarity” in France and said that there was widespread support “for more tax justice and social justice.”

US to give Ukraine intelligence on long-range energy targets in Russia

Resistance operations expand to Ramallah after Israel fails to eliminate them in the north
In between the two incidents that stunned the Israeli security institution in Ramallah, the IOF revealed that it found on Wednesday, September 24, an old makeshift rocket in an open area in the West Bank’s northern governorate of Tulkarm. Initial reports indicated that the rocket may have not been launched, or was only designed for short-range use as it was found with no propelling engine.

On Wednesday, Israeli forces sealed off the al-Rashid coastal road, the city's last surviving artery connecting the north, centre, and south of the Strip. Once a lifeline for families, aid convoys, and ambulances, it has now been reduced to a one-way corridor heading south, patrolled by tanks and soldiers, and governed by inspections and fear.

ICC staff print files and prepare for blackout as US sanctions loom
The ICC’s leadership is looking at how it can secure everything from banking and insurance arrangements to travel and field operations ahead of any court-wide sanctions, officials said at the town hall this week. All staff have been paid up until the end of this year in an effort to mitigate any fallout that could disrupt payroll, according to people with knowledge of the situation. If sanctions are levied, staff are expected to be limited from working remotely for a period, one person said. There are particular concerns among US lawyers working at the court over their ability to continue with their roles under sanctions.

"The history of independent India has seen the worst communal violence in which the role of the RSS has been detailed in numerous reports of official commissions of inquiry. Today it is the RSS and its Parivar who continue to target minority communities and also marginalized sections of society through the promotion of manuvadi ideologies," it said.

Journalism association to leave El Salvador over government pressure
El Salvador’s Journalists Association is moving its legal status out of the country in response to a foreign agents law passed earlier this year that was seen as a way to pressure critical voices in the Central American nation. Founded in 1936, the association said Wednesday that to continue defending journalists’ rights and freedom of the press it would have to move to another country, which it did not name. The association announced plans in September to close its offices. “This was a difficult decision, taken after evaluating the urgent need to work without limitations, pressures,” the group said in a statement.

idk man, as an American myself who loves geography, traveling and learning about other countries sometimes it feels like Americans really do just view other developed countries as "le utopias with universal healthcare" that are glorified safe houses for them to escape to without having to do the long, hard, boring work of organizing to achieve it in the US rather than actually caring about the countries or their culture, or how they got their welfare states in the first place.
(couldn't think of a good image to use for this thread so I just went with a Disco Elysium one)
Ameri-Leftoids: Libs in Disguise?
I wonder if most American "leftists" (democratic socialists or otherwise) deep down are just educated liberals who are really angry about the US not having the welfare state and social protections other countries (particularly those in Europe) have, and jump towards leftism as a solution to the worsening inequalities to the world and abroad, thinking it'll be the best way to forcefully express their anger and enact the change (this probably also applies to non-American lefties to a lesser extent but let's focus on burgers). The "educated lib" part also explains why they tend to lash out and be super arrogant and scoldy towards other Americans who aren't leftie, and seem to just really hate working-class Americans who have conservative beliefs - something I see a lot of educated libs do in the US. Maybe I'm projecting, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of leftie millennials and zoomers felt this way. At the same time, though, it does make me think that what these people truly want is to "flee" or move to a developed nation with a social democractic welfare state (or really just universal healthcare at the bare minimum) like Canada (lol) or somewhere in Europe and live comfortably, and then drop their leftist beliefs to become a center-left/centrist/center-right/center-whatever European. Like, I don't have any problem with wanting to move to another country - it's always interesting to live abroad - but if your desire is to escape to Europe so you can be comfortable there and just do nothing else while sneering at Americans for being morons, I wonder how you'd react to the growing power of the far-right in Europe. As of writing we already have a fascist in Giorgia Meloni governing as PM in Italy, and AfD is the second largest party in the Bundestag and are the largest opposition party - it's not a good trend. Are they going to just sit around doing nothing but posture like libs talking about how bad Europeans (particuarly disillusioned, angry working class Euros) who vote for far-right parties are and how they deserve the suffering that comes to them like they do with Americans and/or retreat to their social safety nets, saying to themselves "at least we're not America" ad nauseam as things get worse and Europe continues to be cruel towards immigrants, or will they actually engage in leftist organizing in their new countries to make things better beyond social democracy, even if it involves participating in demsucc parties?idk man, as an American myself who loves geography, traveling and learning about other countries sometimes it feels like Americans really do just view other developed countries as "le utopias with universal healthcare" that are glorified safe houses for them to escape to without having to do the long, hard, boring work of organizing to achieve it in the US rather than actually caring about the countries or their culture, or how they got their welfare states in the first place.

2-Dogmas and orthodoxy: Communism, especially in its Marxist-Leninist form, presents canonical texts (e.g., Capital or the Communist Manifesto) and a "correct" interpretation of history and society, with little room for dissent. This resembles the orthodoxy of organized religions.
3-Rituals and symbols: Communist movements often adopt rituals, such as celebrations of revolutionary dates, anthems, flags, and cults of personality (e.g., Lenin, Mao, or Che Guevara), which reinforce social cohesion and devotion to the cause, similar to religious practices.
4-Morality and sacrifice: Communism demands loyalty, personal sacrifice, and adherence to a moral code (e.g., proletarian solidarity), often prioritizing the collective over the individual, echoing the ethics of many religions.
5-Faith in transformation: The belief in a radical transformation of society, even in the face of contrary evidence or practical difficulties, can be compared to religious faith, particularly in its resistance to empirical questioning.

You know what the problem is with communism? It isn't funny. You can say about capitalism what ever you want, but perhaps because it is so irrational, it creates a lot of funny stuff (even if it costs tons of rescoruces). The thing is, communism is the opposite of capitalism. Communism is rational, capitalism is irrational. But isn't existence as a whole absurd anyway? So what if the capitalists are right in the end?

In that post, people recommended some articles about guerrilla warfare and violence, which I had saved until I finally made a digital reading list; however, they were lost because I had to reset my phone.
Although I tried to search for them, I don't clearly remember which articles they were, and then I thought maybe I could ask here if you could share readings on the subject so I can see which ones they were.
It would be a great help if you could.

Why do leftists deny the existence of the nomenklatura class? That is, the class of professional officials (rus. сhinovniks).
Why is the nomenklatura a class?
1. They have specialized universities and specialized faculties that train the nomenklatura: the Institute of Public Administration, Customs, Law, Diplomacy, the Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and so on.
2. They never change their occupation. Once they become members of the nomenklatura, they only move from one government position to another.
3. They pass on their membership in the class by inheritance. The child of an official is highly likely to become an official.
4. They have their own closed social circle. Officials almost never hang out with proles.
5. They are empowered to control the means of production.

In civilised and advanced Europe, with its highly developed machine industry, its rich, multiform culture and its constitutions, a point in history has been reached when the commanding bourgeoisie, fearing the growth and increasing strength of the proletariat, comes out in support of every thing backward, moribund and medieval. The bourgeoisie is hying out its last days, and is joining with all obsolete and obsolescent forces in an attempt to preserve tottering wage-slavery.
Advanced Europe is commanded by a bourgeoisie which supports everything that is backward. The Europe of our day is advanced not thanks to, but in spite of, the bourgeoisie, for it is only the proletariat that is adding to the million-strong army of fighters for a better future. It alone preserves and spreads implacable enmity towards backwardness, savagery, privilege, slavery and the humiliation of man by man.
In “advanced” Europe, the sole advanced class is the proletariat. As for the living bourgeoisie, it is prepared to go to any length of savagery, brutality and crime in order to uphold dying capitalist slavery.
And a more striking example of this decay of the entire European bourgeoisie can scarcely be cited than the support it is lending to reaction in Asia in furtherance of the selfish aims of the financial manipulators and capitalist swindlers.

War between PRC and USA
I think people underestimate the USA. I think the USA would lose in a normal war against the PRC. But the USA doesn't play fair. I think the USA would pull every dirty trick in the book and only escalate to open warfare when the PRC is already destabilized. I believe that USA would definitely use chemical and biological weapons. The ground would be prepared with drugs, crime, fascist pedo-cults, schizo-spree killers, heightened ethnic conflict, mass protests and labor strikes. The next step would be escalation into sanctions, lawfare, plagues and mass poisonings. Then a proxy war in Xinjiang, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The USA would only actually step in when the PRC is already half-dead.

The march, which began outside the headquarters of Music for Peace, the NGO coordinating the flotilla’s mission, quickly took on an explosive character.

MTC Australia, a subsidiary of one of America’s largest private prison operators, the Management and Training Corporation, has provided “garrison, transferee arrivals and reception services” on the island since 2022, when it was initially contracted for two months for $47 million. The latest contract extension to 2027 takes MTC’s total remuneration to at least $787 million, a figure that will rise, under the terms of the deal, if more refugees are forcibly transported to Nauru.

What do we do with the weirdos?
I think in any society there's always going to be the outsiders who for one reason or another just can't really fit in with everyone else, they're just not wired like most other people, and what those outsiders do depends largely on how society chooses to deal with them. Humans are social animals, everybody needs a place in the world, people can't just be alone by themselves forever or they'll eventually go crazy and they'll kill themselves or kill somebody else. If society accomodates the pecularities of the outsiders to some reasonable extent and provides them some place in the world where they can be with other freaks like them and not be so alienated and isolated and cut off from society then maybe they can do some pretty interesting productive things with their unique freakish minds, one of them might even become some famous important artist or philosopher or something. But if society just sweeps them under the rug and pretends they don't exist, then it's more likely that they will just end up being drunks or junkies or crazy homeless bums on the street or serial killers or neo-luddite ecoterrorists or schizo acidhead cult leaders. Society does not want to face this very difficult decision of what to do with the outsiders, but there is no way out of it.

The class enemy and their pseudo-intellectuals pour mud and shit on the man who dared to call a spade a spade - that biology is on firm Marxist-Leninist principles. That we did not create Marxism-Leninism, but that it is Marxism-Leninism that created us. Dialetical materialist understanding of the flora and fauna was forged with Great Darwin’s evolution theory. It was sharpened into a fine blade Engels’ brilliant ‘Part played by labour in the transition from ape to man’. Comrade Lysenko gallantly wielded the Immortal Science and embarked on steppe-wide crusade against scarcity amd famine. And the treat lovers hated him for it, they still do. No, no, no! No abundance of wheat, rice, and corn for the asiatic hordes and the African specimen! How dare they! Funko Pops for me, Famine Poop for thee! By burying Lysenko , and promoting Monsanto debauchery in the fields, by bullying Bohm-deBroglie and promoting the Heisenberg-Bohr mystic mafia in reactors, the Treatlerites secured the Century for themselves. But we must not be afraid. We must uphold the Great Men of Science. As Neruda’s pen truthfully carved: To be Man - that is the Stalinist Law !

Both the left and the right-wing of capital, liberals and conservatives, complain about cultural languages dying out. But it's not some pure past you can hang onto with pride, it's the result of how societies evolve through their economic and productive systems. There's nothing sacred about it and, frankly, the fewer languages acting as a barrier to a global proletariat the better. If you want to learn a dead language so much you can do it on your own time thanks to the internet these days.

Communism is about planning production, not "managing the economy" or whatever the fuck. Planning production means consciously organizing production within the limits of resources and in harmony with nature, it's not the same as the economy. Many idiots assume that a "planned economy" must mean rule by managers, bureaucrats, or party bosses. But that assumption already shows they're still thinking within the categories of the society they claim to reject.
In capitalism economic life is centralized and dictated, by the ownership of property, by the command of money over labor, by the state that enforces all this. Nobody ever asked the workers whether they agreed to be "planned" as a cost factor in the balance sheet of capital. They've confused communism with the failed capitalist economy of the East. Their problem was that they wanted to beat capitalism at its own game, extracting as much labor out of their population as possible, and thus held on to the very exploitation they claimed to overcome.
Besides many treat communism like it's some utopian scheme cooked up by theorists about how society should be arranged. But communism is not that. It's not about electing a better government, or handing power to managers, bureaucrats, or party bosses to run your life, it's about the Proletariat taking matters into their own hands, abolishing the setup where somebody else dictates the terms. Communists don't offer like it's a product on the shelf.
The only real offer is simple: either you fight to run your life, or you stay ruled and exploited.

Thoughts on Valery Sablin?
Could he have turned the USSR "back on track" and prevented its collapse in the 90's?

Bordiga, and the contemporary Italian communists in general, had this very slimy crypto-religious notion of communism that is painful to read. You can see exactly why their group, once detached from practical work owing to the Russian degeneration, became so semi-cultish. 1919: (first pic)
The whole stuff and nonsense about carrying the "legacy" of Marx and Lenin and the associated autist baggage that comes with it is closer to theology than science. I am reminded of Marx's comments on political sects and their religious character:

Israeli troops kill at least 31 Palestinians in Gaza as Trump peace proposal raises questions
Hamas announced it would review the proposal with group members and other Palestinian factions before reaching a decision. While the proposal offers an end to the fighting, guarantees the flow of humanitarian aid and promises reconstruction, the Palestinian militant group will have to disarm, something it has rejected in the past. Also, Gaza and its more than 2 million Palestinians would be put under international control for the foreseeable future.

Germany seeks to extradite Ukrainian diver over 2022 Nord Stream gas pipeline attack
Germany is seeking to extradite a Ukrainian man arrested in Poland on suspicion of diving down to the Baltic sea bed to plant explosives in the 2022 Nord Stream gas pipeline attack. The man, identified in Polish media reports as Volodymyr Z and by Germany as Vladimir Z, is described as a trained diver and is sought by investigators in Germany, who believe he was part of a group that sabotaged the pipeline, consisting of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines.

Unemployment hits 14-year high as Germany waits for Merz’s stimulus
the local headlines are being conspicuously dominated by national champions shedding staff. Earlier this week, Lufthansa said it will cut 4,000 administrative jobs by 2030. The news came only days after engineering giant Robert Bosch said it would cut an additional 13,000 positions by 2030, after announcing 5,550 layoffs in November last year. Automaker Volkswagen and Germany’s second-largest lender, Commerzbank, announced significant job cuts earlier this year.

In the minutes before it happened, a government official warned that fibre optic would be cut, affecting mobile phone services too. “Eight to nine thousand telecommunications pillars” would be shut down, he said, adding that the blackout would last “until further notice”. “There isn’t any other way or system to communicate … the banking sector, customs, everything across the country will be affected,” said the official who asked not to be named.

The main enemy is the hegemon! For Bordiga, the primary conflict was always against the leading capitalist power. Today, that's the US/NATO. Any major force that actively weakens this hegemon is objectively useful, regardless of its own motives.
'The worse, the better'. Bordiga was a staunch defeatist. He believed the faster capitalism collapses into crisis and war, the better. A protracted war that drains the West's resources and shatters global stability is a perfect accelerant for this collapse.
Weakening the British-American Empire is the key. During WWII, Bordiga didn't support the Axis, but he saw their role in dismantling the British Empire as historically positive. He argued that by crushing the old colonial power, the Axis was objectively clearing the field, even if for all the wrong reasons. He'd see Putin the same way, a reactionary force whose actions are inadvertently dismantling US global dominance.
He warned of a 'Anti-Fascist' trap. He despised 'anti-fascism' as a trick to make workers side with their 'democratic' capitalists. He'd mock those who side with NATO, seeing it as choosing one bourgeois camp over another. Both sides are capitalist, the goal is the system's downfall.
Bordiga would cheer for Putin. He'd see him as a disease attacking a bigger disease. Just as the Axis weakened the British Empire, Putin is weakening the American one, and for a revolutionary waiting in his seat, that's all that matters.
Bordiga would see Putin as an Ally against US hegemony
He wouldn't 'like' Putin. He'd see him as a capitalist gangster. But his analysis was always about who was attacking the central capitalist power.The main enemy is the hegemon!

where's the militancy ?
left wing groups used to form paramilitary and fraternal organizations to function as security for speakers at events and to function as something that would be able to rough up opposition. such tactics are now mostly discarded and you end up seeing protesters fold to police. this seems like something that would be incredibly useful especially in the west.

Funny thing about grand revolutions: they begin with street chants and barricades and end with incense and rulebooks. The same people who promised to smash the old order end up arguing over footnotes and purity tests, reciting doctrine like a prayer and measuring virtue by who can perform the greatest act of renunciation.
If you follow that logic to its inevitable, slightly absurd conclusion, you don’t get a workers’ paradise so much as a monastery — think Mount Athos, but with manifestos. All the fire and fury collapses into cloistered doctrinal debates, and the big promise of changing the world becomes an elaborate exercise in proving who can renounce it best.
Maybe that’s the real future of communism: a bunch of terminally-onlines holed up on some island mountain — hell, maybe even Cuba — navel-gazing for eternity.

Democrats Are in Crisis.
Eat-the-Rich Populism
Is the Only Answer.
Only one sensitive that I saw about three trucking 20-30% ethic supremacists in the Democratic party but…
What could go wrong? The honest answer is: plenty.
A more populist Democratic coalition would be an uncomfortable place for the college-educated professionals who shifted left in the Trump years. It would be even less friendly to the megadonors who bankroll the party. Bringing populists and liberals together in a pincer movement will take enormous skill, and the alliance could be blown apart by cultural differences that both Republicans and establishment Democrats will be eager to exploit.
Although the gap between working-class and white-collar voters on economics has narrowed, it hasn’t disappeared. To name just two fault lines, working people tend to be more skeptical about raising taxes to pay for new government services and more concerned about keeping energy prices low than, say, tackling climate change.
Then there’s the not-so-little question of who’s supposed to lead this revolt. Mr. Osborn is almost certainly out of the running. Even if he wins next year, his social views are too out of step with the party to be able to make it through a Democratic presidential primary. Mr. Sanders would be a natural candidate, but he has aged out of the role.
His heir apparent, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, is more comfortable working within the Democratic establishment, but also more polarizing. Although MSNBC would be in her corner, a Joe Rogan endorsement probably isn’t in the cards. She remains untested in campaigns outside New York; after a strong showing in her 2018 debut, she has underperformed expectations at the ballot box. And it’s by no means obvious that she can do better with rank-and-file Democrats where Mr. Sanders came up short, starting with Black voters in South Carolina.
But charismatic politicians with shaky moderate credentials have gone far before, including the president who shaped so much of today’s forbidding economic landscape. “The time has come to start acting to bring about the great conservative majority party we know is waiting to be created,” Reagan told supporters still reeling from the implosion of Richard Nixon’s presidency. “This will mean compromise. But not a compromise of basic principle. What will emerge will be something new: something open and vital and dynamic.”
Half a century later, the moment for building a great progressive majority party has arrived, a coalition asserting itself against a sclerotic political elite, our economic overlords in Big Tech and Wall Street and a radical right crusading against its own country. Turning Democrats into the vehicle for this coalition will take a struggle — a bruising, messy contest to seize the reins from a party establishment that will be scrambling for its life. But working people fight much harder battles every day. It’s about time they had somebody in their corner

Approved by the Henan office of the National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA), the consolidation will see Henan Rural Commercial Bank absorb institutions across nine cities including Kaifeng, Pingdingshan and Anyang, according to an official social media post by the bank on Sunday.

Equality in the abstract is purely formal. "One man, one vote" does not ensure actual equality in a society where one voter may be a millionaire and another a pauper; even equality before the law may be a mockery when the law is framed and administered by the members of a privileged class.
Freedom itself can be equally formal. Freedom to choose or refuse a job is unreal if freedom to refuse is merely tantamount to freedom to starve. Freedom of opinion is nullified if social or professional pressures render the holding of some opinions lucrative and expose the holders of other opinions to an economic boycott. Freedom of the press and of public meeting are illusory if the principal organs of the press and the principal meeting-places are, as is inevitable in capitalist society, controlled by the moneyed class.
Thus the supposed absolute values of liberal democracy are undermined by the corrosive power of the Marxist critique: what was thought of as absolute turns out to be relative to a given social structure and to possess validity only as an adjunct to that structure. This thorough-going relativism is ideologically the most destructive weapon in the Marxist armoury. It can be used to dissolve all the absolute ideas on which the existing order seeks to base its moral superiority.
Ruthless Critique of Everything Bourgeois
Law is not law in the abstract, but a set of concrete rules enacted by an economically dominant class for the maintenance of its privileges and authority. Bourgeois law is largely concerned with the protection of the property rights of the bourgeoisie: "law and order", though good things in the abstract, become a traditional slogan by which those in possession seek to discredit strikers, revolutionaries and other rebels against the existing social order, however oppressive that order may be.Equality in the abstract is purely formal. "One man, one vote" does not ensure actual equality in a society where one voter may be a millionaire and another a pauper; even equality before the law may be a mockery when the law is framed and administered by the members of a privileged class.
Freedom itself can be equally formal. Freedom to choose or refuse a job is unreal if freedom to refuse is merely tantamount to freedom to starve. Freedom of opinion is nullified if social or professional pressures render the holding of some opinions lucrative and expose the holders of other opinions to an economic boycott. Freedom of the press and of public meeting are illusory if the principal organs of the press and the principal meeting-places are, as is inevitable in capitalist society, controlled by the moneyed class.

Not sure if it's just my algo psyoping me, but I've been getting an increased amount of black people/influencers with 50k+ likes denouncing Palestine and Palestinian liberation, on the basis that their cause is irrelevant to black struggle and it's a slave mentality since support for Palestine is predominantly white.
This had me thinking back to the recent garbage strike in Philly, in which black "entrepreneurs" began selling their own private trash pickup services, offering to dump bags themselves for $20 a piece. When criticized, the general response was that they're "just hustling" and it's the garbagemen's (mostly black) fault for not wanting to put in the work. The strike was largely a failure.
Obviously this doesn't just apply to black people, I just think it's the most pronounced; that "hustler" mindset, this idea that personal gain is revolutionary even, seems to be engrained in black culture. It's why they see no contradiction in revering Beyonce as empowering, a woman who's evoked the Black Panther party many times, meanwhile she dines with the Trump family. Or Kendrick Lamar, who's upheld as this genius poet talking about the struggle that those "not like us" just don't understand, meanwhile he's a hotep who lets the DNC play his music/quote him directly in their literature while discussing why Israel has a right to defend itself.
All ties back to slavery; black people came to America as property, not "workers". there's like a subconscious fear after generations of trauma that any collective action is against their best interest. Every major minority (Hispanics and natives tied for second) in America has some unique cultural illness tying them to the system, and unless those ills are addressed economic progress will be racist at best (i.e. nazbols) and impossible at worst.

Let us not be mistaken; the mathematics of quantum physics as developed in the early 20th century is correct, within its presupposed assumptions and scales of interest of course. However, the so-called Copenhagen interpretation is wrong. It is as its name implies, only an interpretation, and a wrong one at that. Bohr and Heisenberg's conservative and anti-communist personal beliefs are well-known, this inevitably led them to wage war on the materialist conception of physics with fanatic vigour. When one moves beyond the level of pop-science and one delves into the details of this interpretation, specially its history, it is clear that Bohr and Heisenberg (mostly Bohr) behaved like goons in promoting their mystic interpretation and bullied materialist opponents such as De Broglie, Bohm and others. Even within their Copenhagen circle, they silenced and shunned self-avowed Marxists like Rosenfeld who raised pertinent questions about their interpretation. Marxists must not blindly take the word of pop-scientists and bourgeois Ivy League professors; Marxists must take the pain of reading and understanding the source material (the physics, the mathematics AND the socio-history). The Copenhagen Interpretation, in short, is the Hayek, the von Mises, the Milton Friedman equivalent of physics. It is to no surprise that old wolves like Einstein and Schrödinger were never convinced and kept howling materialist critiques at the idealist drivel. Comrades, let us take a pause from the endless IDpol, the endless revisionism v/s orthodoxy, the endless Bordiga v/s Pannekoek debates, and let us focus on the more important issue: the suffocation of correct materialist science in favour of idealist, metaphysical, quasi-religious 'science' promoted by often brilliant physicists who behave more like Gurus and Caliphs because of their conservative and reactionary personal beliefs.

Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.
March 15th, Belgrade Serbia
Tomorrow a huge protest will be held in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade, protesting the government’s refusal to accept the demands made by the students, as well as protesting against general incompetence and corruption. From the student to the teacher, worker and pensioner, war veterans and children all around Serbia will gather together in this protest.Is this really it?

Is this information a nothing-burger for Russia at large? Most likely
I haven’t thought about Russia in a while
There’s an issue regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine specific to Russian society that pitons gonna have to put up with regardless of the outcome of the war. It’s that there’s a shitload of soldiers (mostly prisoners and career soldiers) that are not going to be putting up with whatever excuses the Russian federal system has for why their lives are utter garbage post deployment. The USA already gets flak for treating its marines like shit since social services there already suck and are scarce, but in a country like Russia, finding so much so as someone that won’t make fun of you for seeking government aid itself is already rare. This shit isn’t new to Russian history—most mafia groups directly formed after the world wars and the revolution anyways. I don’t see Ukraine being any different—this time anyways since this far from isn’t the first Russo Ukraine war in history. Personally I don’t think this will balloon into a total social collapse or something too too serious, but it could shake things up regarding domestic security with the drones, militias, and assault rifles casually everywhere. Just this year, apparently 500 confirmed instances of veteran-specific violent crimes against normal people occurred in that country.Is this information a nothing-burger for Russia at large?

I hate the narratives around how the Great Depression ended.
The other day I visited Laurel Hill State Park in Pennsylvania and I saw a placard and a statue commemorating the Civilian Conservation Corps which was a federal jobs program during the Great Depression. Young men who were poor were payed to replant a forest after it was cut down, they also built bridges across creeks for hikers. If a politician tried to do this today everyone would call them a communist and they would get kicked out of the DNC. Why can’t we do something like this again, wouldn’t a federal jobs program were people do stuff like planting trees, picking up litter, providing disaster relief, or doing food drives help decrease unemployment? Yes it would but that would harm the prophets of the ruling class. Federal jobs programs like this along with the rest of the New Deal is what ended the Great Depression and no schools teach that, at school you are taught the narrative that WW2 somehow ended the great depression “so the more you bomb Yemen the better the economy” which is bullshit. FDR was a lib but he did the right thing by doing the New-Deal, I thought I was in the USSR by how proletarian that statue looks.

How do we fix this beyond fucked up state?
The LDS church runs everything here. Nearly every single little detail of the state’s culture is dictated by Mormonism. Mormon temples are the largest buildings in every city and town. Mormon bookstores are more numerous than most other stores, and old school soda shops are more numerous than cafes (Mormons prohibit coffee and tea but allow caffeinated soda for some reason). Multiple buildings, streets, and businesses are named after Mormon things (e.g. “Cumorrah Avenue”). Multi-level marketing companies are everywhere and sponsor things like stadiums (MLM companies are littered with Mormon moms).
The LDS church is basically run like a massive corporation. They are very good at missionizing and making new converts, plus Mormons tend to get married young and have bucketloads of kids. The average Mormon family has between 4-7 children. The point is, the LDS church is highly reactionary and rules over Utah with an iron fist, yet there is almost no internal resistance to it. “Utah” basically is the LDS church. And that’s not even mentioning the entire settler-colonial history of the church either, the mass slaughter of the indigenous that Mormons participated in to create the state of Utah and such.
With that said, how do we deal with this state’s politics if we are socialists living in it? There’s no way someone like AOC or Mamdani or any DSA candidate could ever win here. If there was ever a socialist candidate, they’d either have to ensure the Utah public that they’re a “good Mormon” (which would mean throwing away their principles and participating in a reactionary, settler-colonial theology) or seek to dismantle Utah culture outright by going against the grip of the LDS church, which would be political suicide.
I’m sorry, but I wish this fucking state didn’t exist. Trying to organize anything leftist here feels like a lost cause.

Also included in the proposal were the end of Hamas rule in Gaza, and Israel agreeing not to annex the territory and drive out Palestinians living there, Haaretz reported.

‘I’d Never Make it Home Alive’: Russia’s War in Ukraine Turns Conscripts Into Deserters
At least 50,000 Russian soldiers have fled the military since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, according to leaked data published in May by the exiled outlet IStories. Among them is a growing number of conscripts: young men, often poor and from remote regions, who say they were forced into contracts they never agreed to sign, and then sent to fight.

UK seeks to block challenge to Palestine Action ban under anti-terrorism laws
Britain's Home Office (interior ministry) is asking the Court of Appeal to overturn that decision and rule that any challenge to proscription should be heard by a specialist tribunal, rather than the High Court. Palestine Action was proscribed shortly after some of its members broke into the RAF Brize Norton air base and damaged two planes in June, for which four members have been charged.

Sydney police officer charged with assault of pro-Palestinian protester
Amid substantial public shock at images of Thomas bloodied and battered, the leadership of the New South Wales (NSW) Police, along with the NSW state and federal Labor governments, defended the police assault and blamed the demonstrators, including Thomas herself. The charging of the officer exposes those statements as a cover-up, based on slanders against the victims and a false presentation of what the cops carried out.

As such, we need to create *vectors*. Groups of people (mainly young, like highschool or university students) will be educated and trained on capitalism and anarcho-communism. These *vectors* **must be ideologically* motivated. That is, they must have conviction in their beliefs and actions. Otherwise, they will quickly dropout.
These leaders will then organize their communities and repeat the cycle. As a result, the masses will quickly and independently organize. Obviously, communication among all these councils must be established for organized action and planning.
Advantages: decentralized, fast, federations, no great leader needed, hard to block by the State.
Obstacles to overcome: to properly train the *vectors* (ideology, discipline, etc.) and avoid infiltration.
This can't be halfassed. This is possible, we just need balls, tenacity, perseverance, discipline, and courage. No excuse. In today's horrible world, only ideology can push people forward.
The role of the anarchists today is to kindle the heart of the masses and offer guidance. So that the we can build an army of men willing to give their life for anarchy, akin to the Makhnovshchina.

>birthrate decline (not yet population decline) is happening in most countries outside of Africa, regardless of socioeconomic development, cost of living or culture (incl. religion or "feminism")
>the most likely primary common cause is the simple availability of choice: not needing children as extra labor, more access to birth control/abortion, etc.
>>secondarily, often it is not the case that people don't want children but that they want to have them later in life and want to give their children optimal lives, e.g. being unwilling to raise children until one has a high-paying stable job; this also leads to people having less children overall
>>the chain reaction here is that the higher the standard of living gets, the bigger the opportunity cost of having children when one actually gets to DECIDE whether to have them, as well as a more demanding standard for WHEN one should have them
>the proposed liberal capitalist solutions fail to tackle the problem:
>>paying people to have children needs to cover the opportunity cost of not having them, which is already massive and will continue to increase the more an economy grows, which will eventually become unsustainable for governments
>>roundabout solutions like providing parents with tax cuts, exceptional welfare or a lower retirement age suffer from the same problem
>>even increased immigration will only stop the bleeding temporarily as the global population fails to keep up
>>automation might "cover" the decrease in labor force but at the same societal cost that massive automation will always bring
With all of the above in mind, it seems that capitalism combined with reproductive choice contains the seed of its own decline. Stagnation threatens the system, but growth leads in its own roundabout way back to stagnation.
The capitalists thus only have the option of restricting or steering choice, from banning abortion and contraceptives to the more extreme scenario of forcing women to be broodmares; or alternatively, by an ideology of pro-natalism for the "greater good", requiring many people to act against "rational self-interest".
In practice, however, those options are just forms of reaction, and even when reaction is successful (and it rarely is) all it can ultimately lead to is a repeat of the past, susceptible to the same conditions and contradictions that caused it to crumble once before.
This is a classic problem that manifests in many ways: capitalism needs laborers to be spenders, but progress inevitably requires a decrease in their ability to do so; in this case, by directly cutting the supply of labor.
Unironically, the only solution is socialism.
The only way to change this equation around without making things worse for everyone is by challenging the assumptions of growth and opportunity cost. This can happen in many ways.
If making a living isn't tied to the success of companies which need constant growth to stay competitive, the dependence on constantly increasing birthrates is reduced.
On the other hand, if society can directly contribute to making child rearing easier and less expensive instead of subsidizing the artificial difficulties and costs created by the market, the opportunity cost of having children is also reduced.
And this ties into many other factors. More safety, more education, more stability, they all ease the burden on parents.
But as you can see, it requires real socialism. Can't half-ass it and call it socialism anyway or you'll pay the price. You need real socialist outcomes.
So. Can porky survive this?
Birthrate decline as a contradiction of capitalism

On the other hand, if society can directly contribute to making child rearing easier and less expensive instead of subsidizing the artificial difficulties and costs created by the market, the opportunity cost of having children is also reduced.
And this ties into many other factors. More safety, more education, more stability, they all ease the burden on parents.
But as you can see, it requires real socialism. Can't half-ass it and call it socialism anyway or you'll pay the price. You need real socialist outcomes.
So. Can porky survive this?

This is where third spaces come in. You hear that term a lot, but what does it actually mean? Think about it: your home is your first space. Your job, or school, that's your second space. Both are defined by obligation and, let's be real, often by hierarchy. A third space is somewhere else—your local dive bar, a punk-friendly cafe, a community garden, a library, a workshop. It's a neutral ground where you go just to *be*, without a direct transaction or a boss breathing down your neck. These are the catalysts, the petri dishes where community might actually start to grow. But they're fragile. Under capitalism, every square foot has to turn a profit, so these spaces are always on the brink of becoming just another fucking Starbucks.
And we have to kill this liberal idea of the "safe space" right now. The whole concept is rooted in a mindset that thinks you can carve out a little perfect bubble away from the world. But nowhere on this fucking planet is safe from capitalism and fascism. The rent bill comes, the cops can still show up, a bigot can walk in the door. The world presses in. Just about how it works. So what's the alternative? It's not safety, it's resilience. The goal is to build a resilient space, one that knows it's under pressure and has a structure that can bend without breaking. A resilient community can withstand things, but it can't promise you'll be comfortable 100% of the time. In fact, it guarantees the opposite. Discomfort will happen. Conflict will happen. There is crash-outs that will happen. That's just the nature of humanity.
And by and large, most people are good people, but every single person on Earth is going to have their weird moments, their bad days, their times when the weight of this shitty system becomes too much and they lash out. In an ideal community, in an ideal world, when someone crashes out—when they burn a bridge, when interpersonal drama explodes—there should be a path for them to come back. This is where the idea of restorative justice, not carceral punishment, comes in. It's not about being soft; it's about being smart. It hinges on accountability, not banishment. The question isn't "How do we punish this person?" but "What was the harm done, and how can it be repaired?" Yeah, you fucked up, but we all fuck up, and we all want the same goal. We like you on your good days. We enjoy your friendship. But if there's an expectation that there can never be conflict, that any conflict is inherently bad and we have to remove anyone who creates it, you create a sterile box. That's not a community at all. It's just recreating the same disposable, corporate logic we're drowning in. Being able to handle the conflict is part of the struggle. It's the fucking work.
This is where the capitalist algorithm driven online world fuckin' ruins everything. It gives us the illusion of community without any of the friction that actually builds trust. Is a Discord server a community? Maybe, in the most ideal way, but it's not the same. You can just log off. You can block someone. Is an Instagram following a community? Are the people commenting on your posts really your friends? Do they have your back when you're sick and need groceries? Would they spot you twenty bucks until payday? I would say no. But the illusion is there, and it's powerful. These algorithms are just mirrors, showing you what you want to see. If you're feeding it your own terrible tendencies, you'll find terrible people to amplify them. That's not community. Because in a real, in-person community, someone is able to call you out on your flaws, on your bullshit, and give you the space to improve. That's why you have to allow conflict. You can crash out really hard, honestly, and you can come back from it if you're willing to step up, be an adult, apologize, and squash the beef. The beef can almost always be squashed because we all want the same thing: to not be so goddamn alone.
But people don't seem to understand how rare a real third space is, and one that actually forms a community is even rarer. Your local Starbucks might be a third space, but it doesn't have a community. It has customers. And I think people take that block-button logic from the internet and apply it to real life. You have to be able to exist in the same room as people you don't like. You don't have to be best friends, but you have to be cordial. You have to be decent. You can't just block them in real life. What does that even look like? Pretending they're a ghost? It's childish.
And this is crucial: you have to contain the conflict within the space, not export it. Let's say you and your friend get into a fistfight in the parking lot. It happens. One option is you both keep showing up, give each other a wide space for a bit, and let time heal the wound. The other option, the worst thing you can do, is to get on the internet and tell a one-sided story to try and get people to stop coming to the location. You're not solving the problem; you're weaponizing a mob of outsiders, people not even part of your drama, and you're destabilizing the whole commons. You're killing the thing for everyone because you can't handle the discomfort of a real-world conflict. You're treating a physical space like a Twitter thread.
Now, there's also a heavy onus on the people running the third space. We have to be real: we're anarchists, we understand hierarchy. The person who runs the business, even with the best intentions, is on a higher level. They have legal liability, they have to make rent, they sign the checks. This creates a contradiction that's built into the foundation. But they have a due diligence to not willy-nilly exile people. We cannot recreate the carceral logic of the fucking oppressor in our own tiny systems. Exile should be reserved for only the harshest of offenses—real, material violence, persistent bigotry that makes the space unsafe for others—not for interpersonal drama or shit said on the internet. If you exile people for things done away from the space, you create a chilling effect of fear and gossip that will kill the third space before it can even root. People will be afraid to speak openly, to have a bad day, to be human.
So what's the answer? The operators have to consciously fight their own position. They have to resist being authoritarian. They need to establish clear, fair ways to handle conflict that don't default to banishment. Maybe that means a council of regulars who help mediate disputes. Maybe it's a formalized process: a cooling-off period instead of a permanent ban. "You guys need to take three days, cool off, then we'll all sit down and talk it out." It's messy as hell, but it's real.
But it's also on us, the people who use the space. We can't just be consumers of community, waiting for the owner to set the rules. We have to act like co-stewards. This is the "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" ethos. Bring a plant and just start watering it. Organize a movie night. See a mess and clean it up without being asked. These small acts of ownership are a quiet rebellion against the hierarchical structure of the business itself. They slowly, brick by brick, shift a space from a private business to a communal commons. It's how we decentralize power and prevent that authoritarian drift.
It all comes down to navigating these paradoxes. Community is rare, so people don't know how to value it or fight for it. The space operator is forced into an authoritarian role by capitalism, but using that authority kills the very community the space is meant to nurture. Conflict can destroy a weak community but is essential for building a strong one. The online world connects us globally but makes us worse at being together in person. It's a struggle. We're all new to this. But by embracing the mess, allowing for the crash-outs, and refusing to use the state's tools of exile and punishment, we can build something resilient. Something that doesn't just feel good, but that can actually survive.
Community Is Hard
Community is difficult. Let's just start there. It's hard, and it's new to a lot of us, because if we're being completely honest, we act like communities are this inherent thing that we're just given. But we live in a hyper-alienated, late-stage capitalist, already-collapsing empire where your neighbors are strangers and your real friends might be scattered across time zones. So it's really not. I guarantee you, you can have no community, and a lot of people do. A lot of people are doing whatever they can to seek it out, but they often get tricked by the online substitutes that offer a cheap dopamine fix instead of the real thing. When was the last time you truly relied on someone who wasn't family or a partner? When was the last time you had a disagreement with a friend and had to work it out face-to-face because you knew you'd see them next week regardless? That's the muscle we've all let atrophy.This is where third spaces come in. You hear that term a lot, but what does it actually mean? Think about it: your home is your first space. Your job, or school, that's your second space. Both are defined by obligation and, let's be real, often by hierarchy. A third space is somewhere else—your local dive bar, a punk-friendly cafe, a community garden, a library, a workshop.

Earlier, Procurement Minister Joel Lightbound announced sweeping changes aimed at shoring up Canada Post’s finances in response to a decline in letter mail and the government corporation’s small share of the parcel market. The changes include introducing more community mailboxes and slower delivery times. The union said it had been caught off guard by the changes and argued that Canada Post and the government were creating the conditions that would further reduce demand for its letter and parcel services.

A Libyan patrol boat fired on the rescue ship Sea-Watch 5 in international waters on Friday, marking the second such attack in a month and heightening scrutiny of EU support for Libya’s coast guard, Sea-Watch said. The German NGO said its vessel was fired at with live ammunition shortly after rescuing 66 migrants. It demanded “immediate clarification and consequences from Italy and the European Union.”

Madagascar imposes curfew after violent protests against water, power cuts
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets on Thursday to voice their anger over persistent power cuts, which often leave homes and businesses without electricity for over 12 hours. Police used rubber bullets and tear gas to quash the demonstrations. The protesters barricaded roads with rocks and burning tyres. By Thursday afternoon, there were reported incidents of looting at various retailers, appliance stores and banks across the 1.4-million-strong capital.

Ideology is dumb
Forget about ideology. Ideology is a delusion, it is bullshit. There is only one reality and this reality will never align with any human model we could ever conceive of. We try in vain to create the universal model that answers every question and solves every problem; when reality inevitably ceases to align with the model we cannot bring ourselves to abandon the model, so we forsake reality. Thus, our model ceases to be a model and instead becomes a false reality. Ideology is a trap. All of the stupidest things human beings ever did can be chalked up to ideology. Destroy all ideology. (Or don't, idc.)

Why is there NEVER a mass shooting or bombing of billionaires or politicians? There are millions of commies worldwide, and even quite a few libs and radlibs have a burning hatred for these people. And enough of them are schizos, but there is NEVER EVER EVER any attack on the evil bastards? Why? Are the agencies stopping it? Are humans naturally servile and never attack the elites?
OK let's say it's because people are generally nationalistic/chauvinist and don't want to attack their own elites. Then why are the elites of the "Other" not attacked as well by it's enemies? It's always innocents or low ranked losers who are attacked.
Why do the people at the top have fucking plot armor like Batman or James Bond??? Like just shoot him for fucks sake, HES JUST A MAN.
And yet that's STILL more plausible than the story of Real Life where 99.999% of the FUCKING elites NEVER get what they deserve.

Let me make an idea clear. The vast majority of practices associated with masculinity are all centered around posturing. Meeting any of the qualities associated with masculinity internationally requires *a fuck ton* of individual effort and commitment that I guarantee that most men will never put in. The vast majority of men are as bad as men when it comes to fighting (I’ve seen too many fights with people throwing velociraptor hands and throwing the same wild hooks since they don’t know any other moves) and rely on having more (not refined) muscles to overpower men which makes the difference in actual strength between sexes negligible if not reliant on the acceleration of osteoporosis on post menopausal women.
That shit about courage? Couldn’t be a bigger joke. Just read any military history book or even modern books on conditioning among soldiers. Men running away from their opponents and only engaging if their enemy’s morale was already nonexistent instead of taking any risks on their end. Don’t even get me started on the titanic hero garbage about natural disasters as (expected too) nearly all men normally prioritize their own lives in instances of mass disasters *often* over the survival of their own families too.
Physical and mental toughness? Just look at obesity rates, suicide rates, and rates of non communicable diseases among men and the stats speak for themselves.
I don’t know how to feel about all this. A little disappointing knowing just how *weak* most men are compared to such a basic ideal.

Speaking via video link on Wednesday, after the United States refused him a visa to attend in person, Abbas urged Hamas and other factions to "surrender their weapons" and ruled out any future role for the group in governing Gaza. In response, Hamas condemned Abbas’s remarks as "deeply regrettable". Senior official Izzat al-Rishq said the PA president was echoing Israeli demands while Israel continued its campaign of massacres in Gaza and intensified raids across the occupied West Bank.

They signed a letter that said the costs of lifting the cap could be paid for via a “targeted levy on harmful online gambling products.” This would “support the government’s manifesto pledge to reduce gambling-related harm and enable vital action to alleviate child poverty,” the MPs wrote.

In Russia alone, “reviving the Soviet Union” would mean restoring socialism within its current borders rather than recreating the multi-national federation. That would take a political movement strong enough to win state power, nationalizing key industries and resources, reviving central economic planning, and re-establishing one-party socialist rule (or something close to it). In short: socialism in Russia first, then maybe expansion if others chose to join.

The Epstein list and MK-ULTRAed children
The elite would rather start World War 3 than admit that the Epstein list is merely the tip of the iceberg and that they are literally programming certain spiritually gifted children from birth, aka the GATE program, to be superhumans. It's like how the Jedi kidnapped children and then brainwashed them in the Jedi temple. The Sith were the heroes after all. The Jedi are literal pedophiles.

NU NU LEFT
For the last 70+ years, American leftism has been dominated by the "New Left," which was shaped by writers like C. Wright Mills and Herbert Marcuse. They believed that the traditional working class had been bribed into complacency by postwar material abundance, and there was no hope of them ever leading a revolution on their own. Therefore, the socialist vanguard must be driven by an alliance of student intelligentsia and marginalized minority groups like the Black Power movement.To what extent was this a) true at the time, b) still true or NOT now, and c) should or how can we move past this?

Do you see these libertarians as preferable to MAGA/neocons? On one hand, their economic agenda is even more hostile to leftist politics. On the other, their anti-war, anti-NATO, and anti-bureaucratic stance lines up with some left positions. Or also for example, they're against the surveillance state, patriot acts, etc.
Also worth noting: libertarians outside the U.S. tend to be different. American libertarians are much more radically non-interventionist than their counterparts abroad. For example, Milei loves Ukraine and Israel, NATO, etc. while Massie, Ron Paul, and even the official Libertarian Party is against financing/government supporting either country, and all of them wanna move away from NATO.

German and Non-German Chauvinism
<V.I. Lenin, May 31, 1916 in Voprosy Strakhovania
The German Chauvinists, as we know, have succeeded in imposing their influence upon the overwhelming majority of leaders of the so-called Social-Democratic — now, in fact — National-Liberal Party. We shall see presently how far this applies to the non-German chauvinists like Postresov, Levitsky and Co. At the moment we must deal with the German chauvinists, among whom, in fairness, Kautsky must also be included, notwithstanding the fact that P. B. Axelrod, in his German pamphlet, for example, very assiduously and very incorrectly defends Kautsky and calls him an “internationalist”.
One of the characteristics of German chauvinism is that “socialists” — socialists in quotation marks — talk about the independence of nations, except those which are oppressed by their own nation. It does not make much difference whether so directly, or whether they defend, justify and shield those who say it.
The German chauvinists (who include Parvus, the publisher of a little magazine, called Die Glocke, among whose contributors are Lensch, Haenisch, Grunwald all the rest of the crew of “socialist” lackeys of German imperialist bourgeoisie) speak at great length and very eagerly, for example, about the independence for the peoples oppressed by Britain. It is not only the social-chauvinists of Germany, i.e., socialists in words, chauvinists in deeds, but the whole bourgeoisie press of Germany that is trumpeting with all its might about the shameful, brutal and reactionary, etc., fashion in which Britain rules her colonies. The German papers write about the liberation movement in India with great gusto, malicious glee, delight and rapture.
It is easy to see why the German Bourgeoisie is full of malicious joy: it hopes to improve its military position by fanning discontent through the anti-British movement in India. These hopes are silly, of course, because it's simply impossible to seriously entertain the idea of influencing the life of hundreds of millions of people, and a very distant people at that, from outside, from afar in a language foreign to them, particularly when the influence is not systematic, but casual, and only for the duration of the war. Rather than a genuine desire to influence India the efforts of the German imperialist bourgeoisie are more of an attempt at pacifying the masses, to fool the German people and to divert their attention from home to foreign parts.
But this general, theoretical question automatically arises: What is at the root of these falsehoods; how can the hypocrisy of the German imperialists be exposed without any room for uncertainty? The correct theoretical answer that uncovers the falsehoods always serves as a means of exposing the hypocrites who, for reasons all too obvious, are inclined to cover up their falsehoods, to obscure them, to clothe them in flowery phrases, all sorts of phrases, phrases about everything in the world, even about internationalism. Even the Lensches, Südekums and Scheidmanns, all these agents of the German bourgeoisie who, unfortunately, belong to the so-called “Social-Democratic” Party of Germany, insist that they are internationalists. Men must not be judged by their words, however, but by their deeds. This is a home truth. Should anyone in Russia judge Potresov, Levitsky, Bulkin and Co. by their words? Of course not.
The root of German chauvinist falsehoods is in their shouting sympathy for the independence of the peoples oppressed by Britain, their enemy in the war, and modestly, sometimes much too modestly, keeping silent about the independence of the peoples oppressed by their own nation.
Take the Danes. When Prussia annexed Schleswig she also seized, as all “Great” Powers are wont to do, a part inhabited by Danes. The inevitable violation of their rights was so obvious that that when Austria ceded to Prussia her “rights” to Schleswig under the Peace of Prague, August 23-30, 1866, they stipulated that the population of the northern part of the province was to be asked in a plebiscite whether they wished to join Denmark, and that they should be ceded to Denmark in the event of a vote to that effect. This condition was not fulfilled by Prussia who, in 1871, had this “unpleasant” clause deleted.
Frederick Engels, who was never indifferent to the chauvinism of Great-Power nations, specifically pointed to this violation of the rights of smaller nations by Prussia. But the present-day social-chauvinists, while recognising the right of self-determination of nations in words, as Kautsky also does, have never carried on any consistent democratic and internationalist agitation in favour of liberating an oppressed nation when the oppressor nation was their own nation. That is the whole secret, the kernel, of the question of chauvinism and of its exposure.
A once popular pun in Russia was that Russkoye Znamya frequently behaved like Prusskoye Znamya. But this does not apply to Russkoye Znamya alone; for Potresov, Levitsky and Co. reason in the Russian in the very same way as Lensch, Kautsky and Co. reason in Germany. Take a look in the liquidationist Rabocheye Utro, for example, and you will find similar “Prussian”, or rather, international-chauvinist arguments and methods of reasoning. Chauvinism remains true to itself, whatever its national brand, whatever its pacifist cover-up phrase.

"I have authorised the immediate intervention of the Navy's frigate Fasan, which was sailing north of Crete and is heading towards the area," Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement. He said that, though the perpetrators of this drone attack were "unidentified at this time", he was deploying the Fasan as part of the Italian maritime surveillance operation "Mare Sicuro".

Israeli forces destroy water supply line in Al-Quneitra
According to the SOHR information, the unit conducted aerial reconnaissance with drones, followed by bulldozers uprooting the drinking water pipeline that supplies Zobeida Al-Sharqiyah village, cutting off the service entirely for residents. This comes as part of the repeated Israeli violations and incursions into Syrian territory along the border strip.

French unions call new strike and protest day for October 2
Union leaders who met with Lecornu on Wednesday said they were not satisfied by his response to their last day of protest, attended by hundreds of thousands of people on September 18. "The prime minister did not provide any clear answers to the workers' demands, so for the unions, it's a missed opportunity. It doesn't add up," said Marylise Leon, the head of CFDT, France's largest union.

Irish presidential election candidates confirmed as three-way race begins
Heather Humphreys, a former cabinet minister, will run for the ruling centre-right Fine Gael party. Jim Gavin, who managed Dublin’s Gaelic football team, will represent its centrist coalition partner, Fianna Fáil. Catherine Connolly, an outspoken pro-Palestinian voice, is backed by small leftwing opposition parties as well as Sinn Féin, which declined to field its own candidate. The election on 24 October will end the 14-year tenure of Michael D Higgins, who has drawn praise and criticism for turning the largely symbolic post into a platform for global issues, notably with regard to Gaza.

Dozens injured in Ladakh protests over statehood
Hundreds took to the streets demanding federal statehood and constitutional guarantees for autonomy over land and agriculture in the Indian controlled region. Police said some demonstrators threw stones and set fire to a paramilitary vehicle and the local office of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. Officers responded with batons and tear gas, injuring dozens, with residents reporting that some of the wounded were in critical condition.

Myanmar Junta’s Proxy Party Floods Election With Candidates, Dwarfing Rivals
The USDP, a military-backed party composed of former generals and retired high-ranking military personnel, has nearly twice as many candidates as its closest rivals. Its slate of more than one-fifth of all candidates is even larger than the combined field of 960 candidates from 51 parties contesting in states and regions.

Anti-government protests continue in Peru despite heavy repression
This is the opinion of Peruvian sociologist Lucía Alvites, who spoke with Peoples Dispatch about the recent demonstrations: “The mobilizations of recent months and the most recent ones have had a common root: the protests against the coup d’état against Pedro Castillo in December 2022, because youth collectives, social movements, and university organizing spaces are the ones that have mobilized in the protests of late 2022 and early 2023.”

This is the opinion of Peruvian sociologist Lucía Alvites, who spoke with Peoples Dispatch about the recent demonstrations: “The mobilizations of recent months and the most recent ones have had a common root: the protests against the coup d’état against Pedro Castillo in December 2022, because youth collectives, social movements, and university organizing spaces are the ones that have mobilized in the protests of late 2022 and early 2023.”

Ecuadorian Government Intensifies Crackdown on National Strike
In downtown Quito, students and workers marched from the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute to Santo Domingo Square, calling for Noboa’s resignation. “Repression is flaring up right now in Santo Domingo. Protesters are being pushed back by police. Side streets along Guayaquil Avenue have been completely barricaded with a heavy police presence, limiting the march’s advance,” reported teleSUR correspondent Elena Rodriguez.

Capitalism and Communism born in Islamic Land
What if industrialisation and capitalism started in the Muslim world instead of the West? How would a communism born in the Islamic world be? Would the Islamic world just be like Europe, or would the Islamic nucleus give us a significantly different capitalism, and thus a significantly different critique (communism) of that capitalism?No shitposters allowed; formulate your thoughts clearly.

THE IDEAL WINNING 2028 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
As a supporter of the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, I obviously realize that the Democrats are a Controlled Opposition Party who exist to keep the Workers and Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies of Naw Afrika, Aztlan, the First Nations, inside the U$ corralled and controlled, while the dominant ruling Crypto-Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist MAGAtard Republicans transform the U$ into a Full-Blown Fascist Police State, which combined with the fact that the U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American population like they are not U$ citizens (Trump ending birthright citizenship will probably transform this from a De facto to a De jure reality by officially stripping citizenship from most of these populations), with them essentially acting as a permanent domestic underclass with essentially no rights that are exploited for cheap labor and disproportionately suffer from Mass incarceration and police brutality, with their neighborhoods essentially under De facto occupation by militarized police, as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Internal Colonies/Oppressed Nations inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists as stipulated by Lenin’s principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR, which will happen once World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR (all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are pictured in the map I posted, with the former U$ Balkanized into a New African SSR that includes the Black/New Afrikan majority counties of the Black Belt, a Hispano-American SFSR that includes the Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo majority counties in the U$ Southwest, along with the rest of the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas, while the White Settler majority regions in the rest of the former U$ becomes part of the Anglo-American SFSR, which also includes the English-speaking provinces of Canada, as Quebec will become its own SSR, with all the Native American reservations becoming ASSRs) to Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
However, as I have stated many times before a proper Dialectical Materialist analysis still reveals that a Controlled Opposition is better then No Opposition, and as we see on the International Stage that China is a “Controlled Opposition” to U$ Imperialism in the same way that the U$ Democrats are “Controlled Opposition” to the Republicans, thus making China the “Global Democrats”, with the massive caveat that a Maoist faction taking over the CCP and purging the Dengists could place China back in the Socialist Mode of Production on the Shining Path to Communism without another Maoist PPW there, though despite this fact both China (Iran is another example of a Lesser Evil Controlled Opposition) and the U$ Democrats should be “Critically Supported”, not because we genuinely support these Bourgeois entities, but because they are both a “Lesser Evil” faction of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System who De Facto prevent the “Greater Evil” of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System from completely crushing the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World before the World Maoist PPW can be successful when the Global Nuclear War breaks out, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
So with these Dialectical Materialist facts in consideration, what do my fellow Comrades think of this hypothetical “Ideal Winning 2028 Democratic Platform” (this is making Three Bold assumptions, Firstly, that Trump dose not use the Insurrection Act to declare Martial Law and suspend all Elections, thus officially ending Bourgeois Liberal Democracy in the U$ and making him De Facto U$ President for Life, which is what I expect/fear will happen, Secondly, that a Centre-Left Social Democrat like AOC would ever be allowed by the Centrist Neoliberal/Neocon Democratic Establishment to win the Democratic Nomination, and Thirdly/Finally that the majority Ultra-Reactionary Racist/Sexist White Settler Labor Aristocrat/Petit Bourgeois U$ electorate will ever vote for Centre-Left Social Democrat, especially a Brown Chicano/Mestizo Woman like AOC) that is based on the principles of Social Democracy, Social Progressivism, and Non-Interventionism, with Pragmatic characteristics, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🤔?
ECONOMIC POLICY:
Universal Basic Income: Guarantee every Adult U$ citizen a Nontaxable 1000$ monthly check starting on their 18th birthday, paid for by a 10% VAT on all Non-Essential goods (everything but Food, Housing, Healthcare, Education, and Clothing/Hygiene products), Progressive Tax Reform, and eliminating all Means-Tested Social Programs (ie. Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance, TANF, SSI, etc.), ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Single-Payer Medicare For All Healthcare System: Expand Medicare to cover all Americans and 100% of all healthcare costs, paid for by raising the Medicare Payroll Tax from 1.45% to 6.2% on all Employers and Employees, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Free College: Make Tuition Free at all public colleges and universities and pay for it with a Financial Transaction Tax of .5% on Stocks, .1% on Bonds, and .005% on Derivatives. In addition to this forgive all Student Loan Debt, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
15$ Minimum Wage: Raise the Federal Minimum Wage to 15$ an hour, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Progressive Tax Reform: Create a more Simple and Equitable Federal Income Tax code that will help pay for the Universal Basic Income and would consist of four brackets for Individuals; 0% for all Income under 50,000$, 10% for all Income between 50,000 and 99,999$, 30% for all Income between 100,000 and 499,999$, and 50% for all Income over 500,000$. Corporations would pay a single 30% Tax rate, and all deductions would be eliminated for both Individuals and Corporations. In addition to this, the cap would be eliminated for Social Security Payroll Taxes in order to maintain the solvency of the Social Security trust fund for future generations, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Free Trade: Eliminate all Tariffs on imported goods, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Financial Regulation: Restore Glass-Steagall in order to break up Wall Street Banks by separating Commercial and Investment Banking, and institute a Financial Transaction Tax of .5% on Stocks, .1% on Bonds, and .005% on Derivatives, in order to pay for Free College, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Anti-Trust: Order the Justice Department to launch immediate Anti-Trust suits to break up Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other out of control Tech companies, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Abolish “Right to Work” laws: Repeal the Taft–Hartley Act and abolish all “Right to Work” laws nationwide in order to guarantee every U$ worker the right to join a Union, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
CULTURAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES:
Reproductive Rights: Pass a Federal Law legalizing Abortion nationwide before fetal viability (24 weeks) along with enshrining Griswold vs. Connecticut into Federal Law in order to protect access to Birth Control, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
LGBTQIA+ Rights: Enshrine Obergefell v. Hodges into Federal Law in order to maintain Marriage Equality for LGBTQIA+ Americans, along with adding Gender Identity to Federal Anti-Discrimination laws, with the caveat that Transgenders wont be allowed to play in Women’s sports, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Gun Control: Pass National Background Checks that stop Violent Felons and the Mentally Ill from obtaining Firearms, while opposing a Federal Assault Weapons Ban, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Grant Amnesty to all Undocumented Immigrants living in the US who have not committed Violent Felonies (Violent felons will be deported), while simultaneously building a secure Border Wall and reducing Legal Immigration levels from 1,000,000 to 500,000 annually, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Marijuana Legalization: Remove Marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances list and Legalize it at the Federal Level for both Recreational and Medical use, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Hard Narcotics Decriminalization: Decriminalize all Hard Narcotics such as Heroin, Cocaine, Meth, etc., in order to treat use of these Drugs as a Disease and not a Crime, with users placed in Rehab instead of Prison, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Sex Work Legalization: Legalization of Prostitution amongst consenting Adults in order to give Sex Workers the right to earn a living without legal jeopardy, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Criminal Justice Reform: Abolish the Death Penalty, Commute the sentences of all those incarcerated for Non-Violent Drug Offenses and/or Sex Work, Ban Private Prisons, Abolish Three-strikes laws, and Abolish Mandatory Minimums, in order to fix America’s Draconian and Racist Criminal Justice System, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
FOREIGN POLICY AND DEFENSE:
The Middle East: End all Foreign Aid to the Zionist State and place a Arms Embargo on them until they agree to a Immediate Ceasefire, Prisoner/Hostage exchange, and IDF withdrawal from Gaza along with a clear pathway to implement a Two-State solution to the Zionist-Palestinian Conflict along the 1967 borders with 1:1 land swaps. Reenter the Iran Nuclear Deal, lift all Sanctions on Iran, and Reestablish Diplomatic Relations with Iran. Withdrawal all U$ troops from Syria, Iraq, and the rest of the Middle East. And finally, Establish Diplomatic Relations with the Taliban government of Afghanistan, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Europe: Force Russia and Ukraine to agree to a Immediate Ceasefire in Ukraine along the line of contact, with eventual UN-observed Referendums held in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson to determine if these regions will be in Russia or Ukraine (If Russia refuses to agree to this the U$ will give Ukraine even more advanced weapons and Russia will face even more sanctions, while if Ukraine refuses to agree to this they will face a Arms embargo and sanctions just like Russia). If Russia agrees to this, U$ will halt the expansion of NATO, reenter the ABM and INF treaties with Russia, withdrawal all U$ troops from Eastern Europe, reduce the U$ military presence in Western Europe by 50%, end the Nuclear Sharing policy with NATO, lift all Sanctions on Russia, and recognize Crimea as part of Russia, with the caveat that the US will continue selling advanced weapons to Ukraine (I would even support selling them F-35s) in order to compensate for them not joining NATO, officially acknowledging Crimea as part of Russia, and potentially losing the other four occupied regions depending on the results of the UN-observed Referendums, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
East Asia: Sign a Peace Treaty with North Korea that officially ends the Korean War and permanently divides the peninsula, and subsequently lift all sanctions on North Korea, establish Diplomatic Relations with North Korea, and withdraw all U$ troops from South Korea. Maintain commitment to the One-China policy and the eventual Peaceful Reunification of China by stripping Taiwan of Major Non-NATO Ally status, and halting all Arms shipments to Taiwan, along with halting all provocative activities in the South China Sea in order to avoid an unnecessary War with China. And finally, reduce the U$ military presence in Japan by 50%, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Latin America: End the embargo on Cuba, end the Sanctions on Venezuela and restore Diplomatic relations with the Maduro Government, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Nuclear Weapons: Implement a No First Use policy. End all Nuclear Sharing with NATO. Dismantle all Tactical Nuclear Weapons and halt development of Nuclear SLCMs and Low-yield SLBM warheads. Maintain a Nuclear Triad for purely Second Strike purposes that will be modernized with a new ICBM, new Ballistic Missile Submarine, new ALCM, and the B-21 Stealth Bomber, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Conventional Weapons Procurement and R&D: Reduce the Aircraft Carrier fleet from 11 to 10. Dismantle the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense as part of a restored ABM treaty. Slash the DARPA budget by 50%. Cancel all Hypersonic Weapons Programs. Cancel all GLCM and MRBM/IRBM development as part of a new INF treaty. Dissolve the Space Force and move its responsibilities back into the Air Force. Halt all work on Human-level Artificial General Intelligence. Halt all work on Sixth Generation Fighter Jets. Cancel all F-15EX and F-18E/F procurement and instead use those funds to buy more F-35s to accelerate the replacement of 4th generation Fighter Jets with 5th generation Stealth Fighters, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
End the War on Terror: Repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, due to its anachronistic mission against a organization that barely exists anymore. End all Drone Strikes against any group that is not directly planning on attacking the U$.

POLITICAL REFORM:
Abolish the Electoral College: Pass a Constitutional Amendment to abolish the Electoral College and replace it with a National Popular Vote to elect the President, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

Expand Voting Rights and Access: Pass a Federal law to Allow convicted felons to vote, including those that are currently incarcerated for Non-Violent Crimes, ban all Voter ID laws nationwide, and Create Nationwide Mail-In Voting, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

THE ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, AND TECHNOLOGY:
Carbon Neutral by 2050: Have 100% Clean, Renewable Energy, from Solar, Wind, Hydropower, Geothermal, and Nuclear Power by 2050.

So with these Dialectical Materialist facts in consideration, what do my fellow Comrades think of this hypothetical “Ideal Winning 2028 Democratic Platform” (this is making Three Bold assumptions, Firstly, that Trump dose not use the Insurrection Act to declare Martial Law and suspend all Elections, thus officially ending Bourgeois Liberal Democracy in the U$ and making him De Facto U$ President for Life, which is what I expect/fear will happen, Secondly, that a Centre-Left Social Democrat like AOC would ever be allowed by the Centrist Neoliberal/Neocon Democratic Establishment to win the Democratic Nomination, and Thirdly/Finally that the majority Ultra-Reactionary Racist/Sexist White Settler Labor Aristocrat/Petit Bourgeois U$ electorate will ever vote for Centre-Left Social Democrat, especially a Brown Chicano/Mestizo Woman like AOC) that is based on the principles of Social Democracy, Social Progressivism, and Non-Interventionism, with Pragmatic characteristics, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🤔?

In Rome alone, 300,000 demonstrators occupied the city’s main railway hub before marching through the streets. “The call came from Genoa’s dockworkers, and here we are: we’ve blocked everything,” the protesters proclaimed. Among those leading the crowd were firefighters’ union representatives, who told il manifesto: “First responders will never be complicit in genocide, and we are protesting a government that is entrapping us in rearmament.”

The social elevator is breaking down in Spain, one of the richest countries with the greatest inequality of opportunity
The report To Have and Have Not: How to Close the Opportunity Gap, published Monday, indicates that around a quarter of income inequality is due to these circumstances of origin. But that’s the OECD average, as the magnitude varies greatly by country. And in Spain, the burden of inheritance far exceeds this threshold, reaching over 35%. The conclusion is clear: a person’s starting point in life continues to determine their economic future.

Turkey to train Niger army in fight against militant groups
According to the source, a small number of Turkish commandos and special forces who in the past served and gained experience in Syria and Iraq will be deployed to Niger, where they will assist the army with training as part of the fight against the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Two people familiar with the matter said that at least four battalions will provide training and advisory support in Niger, though Turkish forces will not directly participate in combat. The deployment does not require Turkish parliamentary approval, since the troops will be present in a limited “visiting” capacity and will not establish bases or secure territory.

Whether based on ethnic, cultural, religious, political, linguistic or purely geographical reasons I support all independence movements.
One of the main reasons of conflict in history is that people don't feel represented in countries where they're ruled by governments that are so different from them based on the mentioned aspects and don't feel they rule in their favor or understand their worldview. Decentralization and secession is the answer.
The world should be made up of at least 500 countries and maybe much more, No country should ever be more than a regional power and the balkanization of all major powers and end of their hegemony is a must to achieve world peace or a better state than now.
India and Russia alone should be broken up to like 30 states each.

Why is the ruling class so allergic to Social Democracy?
THEY'RE the ones who created the damn thing in the first place. It works perfectly, you buy off the workers with stable jobs, healthcare and housing, and they'll become so loyal they would even die by the millions for your insane wars like what happened in WW1 and WW2.
The crazy thing is that abandoning it resulted in a shitty society EVEN for them. Now they have to live in countries filled with urban blight, constant violence, class tensions, constant chaos. They have to constantly do all kinds of political manouevering to keep this shit under control, when simply giving up a fraction of profits to maintain SocDem would do the trick.
Now don't give me the bullshit of "oh they cant afford it any longer". Literally just go look at the financial statements of any company in the Forbes 2000. They still make billions in profit. It makes no sense at all. Its like they deliberately want to enshitten their own existence for no reason. Are the ruling class retarded? Or is there something else going on here that we're missing?

We need to put aside our differences right now, we need to organize, and we need to stay armed
The bourgeoisie have exploited our minor differences to keep us divided and hating each other, we need to move past that. Discussion of theory can happen, but only after we have secured at least conquering fascism.
What I am saying is simple, communists, anarchists, Antifascists, and anyone that doesn’t wanna be enslaved by fascism needs to form a solid coalition and fast. Literally we don’t have much time, trump is already invading cities and he’s gonna use the shooting to both start banning guns from the general public and a genocide, I’m seriously, right after the shooting happened they started blaming it on a trans person with zero proof. And while we might have different beliefs on transgenderism we can all agree instantly blaming a minority for any event that hurts the right is fucking bad, they make up less then 0.1% of the population and once they start killing them off we are next. (You) need to fucking get up and get ready to fight with your comrades, we can argue later today is not the time to do so.
So in general what I am saying is simple, the “left”, communists, anarchists, whichever you say, need to form a coalition, or else we will all die together.

The 60s saw a revolution questioning on how society saw the mentally ill, questioning the authorative practices of the mental asylums and saw the anti-psychiatry movement, which went to go all over western europe and the US. This saw, the halfway house type projects in Italy, where a psychologist went on to rent several houses and put the patients in ordinary houses outside of the mental asylums and let them participate in regular society. Freeing up the psych wards went bad in some areas of the world as well, for example in the US, alot of people went homeless after the asylums were closed, same happened in Sweden.
In the end tough, the hippie movement, questioning of authority, capitalism and so on, was haltered, and the wide adoption of psychopharmacy for mental illnesses as well as the more efficient uses of psyche wards with predictable outcomes (amount of beds, less focus on the individual, structured like a normal hospital), is more alligned with traditional market norms, while projects like halfway houses or assisted living go against capitalistic norms and did not go as far as they would have liked. Of course it still exsist today, but yeah.
Today we have two extreme positions on the left. Either mental diagnosis and everything to do with the psychiatric treatments either through medication or therapy is all just opression and we have to do away with as a society. OR everyone, everywhere should have all access to all therapy and all medication at all times, preferably for free or cheap.
The supposed objective view of the neurotic mind and its treatment all the way down to the individual without factoring in societal structures has been friction every since psychology was introduced as a scientific method of analyzation. This friction is still felt today, and is going down heavily on the individual route of functioning correctly, rather than correcting society somewhat.
Personally, for the next few centuries I would find it commendable if we do away with all stigmatization of mental diagnosis and in the end maybe abolish it all. For now, it is defnitely not efficient, to have every fourth person having some kind of ascribed neurodivergency, while not adressing society at all.
What's next for the psychological revolution?
I just listened to a podcast analyzing psychology from a marxist perspective, and in essence the root of psychology was always orpressing the workers who misbehave at the factories, and locking them up to keep them away from orderly society. Back then wierdos at the village or farms were or more less tolerated. Freuds psycho-analysis brought some emancipation and a materialistic perspective to people, but only rich people. Fast forward to fascistic eugenic treatment of the perceived mentally ill, as well as the Soviet Union having a rather dismissive attitude towards Freudian psychoanalysis (the attitude was common if you got a job and food you are forever good to go, or similar). However as a small side note, school education had a somewhat progressive element in the Soviet Union as learning was seen that was not an invidual task, but something seen as someone does in a collective, which was in contrast to especially strict militaristic individual prussian esque learning experiences.The 60s saw a revolution questioning on how society saw the mentally ill, questioning the authorative practices of the mental asylums and saw the anti-psychiatry movement, which went to go all over western europe and the US.

"The most concrete link is his relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Epstein and Barak met numerous times between 2013 and 2017, with Barak visiting Epstein’s properties in Florida and New York approximately 30 times, including a 2014 private flight in Florida. Barak received $2.3 million from an Epstein-associated foundation between 2004 and 2006, and Epstein invested $1 million in a limited partnership established by Barak in 2015.
Another connection stems from Epstein’s ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father, Robert Maxwell, was a British media mogul alleged to have had links to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. Some sources, including former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe, have claimed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a “honey-trap” operation for Mossad to blackmail influential figures. A lawsuit by a woman identified as Jane Doe 200 alleged Epstein boasted of being a Mossad agent.
Epstein was also associated with the Wexner Foundation, which supports Jewish leadership and has ties to Israel. His financial backer, Leslie Wexner, was a member of the “Mega Group,” a collection of Jewish philanthropists, which some, like former NSA counterspy John Schindler, have speculated was linked to Israeli intelligence operations. Epstein reportedly invested in an Israeli startup, Reporty Homeland Security (later rebranded as Carbyne), connected to Israel’s defense industry, further fueling speculation."

Obviously the future is not a wide-open blank slate where anything can happen. Even massive upheavals like the First World War had observable conditions. But the way it unfolded(with Belgium being invaded and Britain, followed by America, entering the conflict) was due to random chances and the decisions of a handful of individuals.

For one big example, Look at all that had to happen for the Bolsheviks to succeeded>WW1
>Nicholas making the decision to go to the front line to lead the troops
>The February Revolution
>Kerensky re-entering Russia into WW1
>Kerensky's government collapsing because he tried to orchestrate a coup on himself and then double crossed the Army by arming red militias in petrograd
>The liberals giving the Bolsheviks(among other parties) guns to help stop the Army from overthrowing the provisional government.
>The other socialist parties(which were more popular) believing Lenin would reinstall the constituent assembly
>When the SRs did rise up they refused to execute captured bolshevik officers or do much of anything.
>When the Petrograd sailors rebelled they sat on their island printing newspapers hoping that the people of Russia would realize Lenin was a big meaniehead and get rid of him.
Obviously the future is not a wide-open blank slate where anything can happen. Even massive upheavals like the First World War had observable conditions. But the way it unfolded(with Belgium being invaded and Britain, followed by America, entering the conflict) was due to random chances and the decisions of a handful of individuals.

I am sorry, but how is ‘dialectical materialism’ not just an attempt at a secular version of revelations. If you are going to make bullshit claims that communism is incompatible with spirituality, then the same claims that a lot of Marx’s influences are incompatible with atheism and spirituality still shines at Marx’s attempt at making a purely atheistic dialectic materialism. First of all, it has an extremely strong reminiscence to eastern ideas of ‘karma’. Karma not being luck or something bad automatically happening to you for doing something bad, but the automatic chain of cause and effect in existence, in which everything is existence reacting with itself. The idea of an End To History and socialism being inevitable is bullshit in a completely chaotic random world, because the slippery slope fallacy proves that you cannot account for the millions of mitigating circumstances that could happen, Marx did not live in a time of nukes or knowledge of climate change - he could not know that humanity could wipe itself out before socialism could ever be established. Unless you people hold a subconscious belief that the natural materialistic karma of the world is a reflection of spiritual principles, which you clearly do no matter how much you try to deny it otherwise you would deny there being really any natural dialectic towards socialism at all (because of a thousand things that could happen that we aren’t even aware of that could steer things in a completely different course). Even the idea of the end of class conflict causing an end to religion and ‘God’, and the end of time, is something that has extremely mystical underpinnings - because it’s essentially the entire message of Christianity! Paul pretty much claims the exact same thing! If everyone is under the oneness of the son, if there is no sense of power or division, then isn’t man under the oneness of God? Is God not manifesting Himself through man? And if man is within the oneness of God, the idea of ‘God’ disappears since ‘God’ is just a name for something unspeakable, and if man is one with God there wouldn’t be any need for a name or concept to realise God as separate from oneself. Since heaven and earth are united, there would be no need to recognise the spiritual separate from the material, since the spiritual and the material would be made one.
In Marxism’s staunch atheism a shadow of spirituality shines, Marxism feels like a mix of a ‘materialistic’ Buddhist-Christianity. Buddhism the karmic aspect, Christianity the end of time aspect. You can see how Tankie Marxists act like the Catholic Church, how they quote Marx like divinely inspired biblical scripture in every argument

I'm not a communist/socialist but I just finished reading Lenin's State and revolution and he claimed in the book that at one point in the communist society work would no longer be performed for wages but as a voluntary contribution to the community, because social relations and productive capacity would have developed to the point where coercion and material reward were unnecessary. That is the biggest piece of horseshit I have ever read in my life. If there is no monetary / material gain most of humanity will not work. Literally everyone I know (doctors, teachers, mechanics etc) fucking loathe working and would never do that voluntarily. Lenin was a retarded midget

The USA, the main imperialist country (according to Leninists) imports more capital than it exports.
https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/capital-flows
Furthermore, it seems to me that the underdeveloped world is not kept permanently underdeveloped. Somehow, the various national bourgeoisie in countries such as China, India (to a lesser extent) have become competitive with western capital (I suspect due to the sheer mass of labor-power) and are now themselves exporting capital into, say, Europe. This general tendency for the rest of the world to become more developed, with more infrastructure, a more significant national bourgeoisie everywhere seems to me to have falsified Lenin's theory of imperialism, which would mean that underdeveloped countries should remain permanently underdeveloped.
https://wir2022.wid.world/chapter-2/, figure 2.4 shows inequality between countries are decreasing. I think it's because of the development of China and India. Now, obviously, income inequality isn't a good measurement for Marxists, but I'm not sure if there is any data with which we could discover the rate of exploitation.
In the past, political economists understood the interest rate to be a kind of an indirect way to assess the rate of profit, and since profit arises from the exploitation of surplus value, we could look at that for a possible comparison.
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/38194/38194-h/38194-h.htm#BOOK_I
>But the rate of profit does not, like rent and wages, rise with the prosperity, and fall with the declension of the society. On the contrary, it is naturally low in rich, and high in poor countries, and it is always highest in the countries which are going fastest to ruin.
https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/interest-rate
China has a 3% interest rate, the USA 4.5% and Germany 2.15%.
It's possible Adam Smith was critiqued by Marx somewhere and I overlooked it. But I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.
I think in classical Marxist theory, however, the establishment of one world market is inevitable, with all old structures and the global migration of capital etc. leading to that. And is that not what we've seen with NAFTA, the EU and so on?
Has Lenin's theory of imperialism been proven wrong?

Will it stop the war? That largely depends on rebel organizations, they can always fabricate another Oct 7-like event to resume activities, but if they want to subjugate (or are made to as a plea deal) it will be unlikely. So what will the "freed Palestine" (under Israel's watchful eye) be worth at that point? I don't recon much, you'll just have to demand a regular - non national liberation communist uprising like elsewhere and at that point it becomes futile to ignore agitation within Israel since Palestine would affectively be a puppet extension of it.
The sentiment so far has been that of anti-colonialism in large the demand for the total destruction of Israel and its largely nationalist inhabitants rather than humoring the idea of a communist movement within the civil extent of complicity in Israel - once again akin to how broadly self-proclaimed communist movements agitate within the western world.
So what happens to the sentiment of purging the inhabitants ridden with false consciousness? It basically becomes take or leave it. MLM sentiment has always been that the inhabitants of the first world are incapable of carrying a revolution and that it must be imposed by the third world. What of the ML non-Maoist fractions though? If they don't reject the notion of a revolution or the potential of communist movements originating within the first world then it doesn't make much sense to humor the idea of a communist movement within Israel lest they play on the sentimentality of its specific crimes rather than the broader wars and murders of the US, NATO and the allies to claim that Israel specifically is a fascist / national socialist state thus reject the very same pro-Zionist position Stalin partook due to the principles of democratic centralism in spite and say that it must be a territory to belong to a wholly different bourgeoisie nation before revolutionary potential can be harbored, this position though would not make sense since it would imply that Nazi Germany itself could not have turned into the GDR had there not been the western bourgeoisie governments to pave the way - when the red army itself bled for it. Not to mention that singling out Israel as fascist / national socialist or generally unworkable within is a position which only understands fascism / national socialism as a sort of liberal bourgeoisie democracy that simply commits violence - this is at contradiction with the lesser-evil position but it is broadly ignored and the attention is shifted onto the aggressor which of course is the US and NATO rather than the fact that it is often aggression or competition against another bourgeoisie liberal state. Regardless it is not much of an analysis of fascism / national socialism but it isn't incorrect - its just that the same metric can be applied to all of the western nations since they all can openly harbor racist and chauvinist views whilst participating in wars but the ML parties and organizations still participate in agitation within their realms - whilst explicitly rejecting a select few. It is nonsense.
Is the two-state solution desireable?
Most bourgeois nations are going for the two state solution, if there is any solution to come then that seems to be the most likely one. Would this contempt with bourgeoisie peace not be problematic though? The Palestinian state to come would still likely be largely a puppet government of Israel as the authority has been for decades, so the movement of Palestinian national liberation ends up getting a de-facto "free Palestine" to calm the unrest and is told to go work on developing Palestine since Israel is no longer its problem, no farther demand terms met.Will it stop the war? That largely depends on rebel organizations, they can always fabricate another Oct 7-like event to resume activities, but if they want to subjugate (or are made to as a plea deal) it will be unlikely.

First, if quality of life is too good here for your average American to be driven to revolution, and said quality of life is dependent on exploitation of the Third-World, shouldn't it follow that, as the American Empire's power falters, our quality of life will worsen, thus creating revolutionary conditions here?
Second, if our current quality of life is only achievable by exploiting the Third World, how is it that China is able to meet and in many cases surpass us in that regard without resorting to imperialism? Unless I'm missing additional context, the only conclusions that could be drawn are either that China is actually imperalist, or the claim that Western-level quality of life can only come from exploitation is bunk, and neither of those sits well with Third-Worldism as an ideology.
I'm specifically looking for answers from people born and living in the Third-World, since Western born Third-Worldists tend to be self-loathing academic types, although I will accept answers from Western Third-Worldists that aren't mentally cucked.
Two questions for Third-Worldists
As the subject implies, I, an American leftist, have two questions for Third-Worldists.First, if quality of life is too good here for your average American to be driven to revolution, and said quality of life is dependent on exploitation of the Third-World, shouldn't it follow that, as the American Empire's power falters, our quality of life will worsen, thus creating revolutionary conditions here?

I hate how the right constantly claims ownership over Masculinity!
It’s so fucking stupid how the Right claims that it’s the left that is “Soy and Gay” when they literally voted for a president who is the soyest, fattest, bitch on the planet. I could get into how the term “Masculine” is wishy washy or whatever but I would rather go with their terminology so I can disprove it. Even if they are a right winger that doesn’t like Trump this extend just to establishment republicans this extends to the far right as well, fascism is a suicidal ideology invented by a fat bald Italian bozo in which the cucked masses allow one leader to walk all over them. The right are the soy ones and the left are the chads. The right is so fucking cucked, Female anti-feminists are literally advocating for men to boss them around, Black White nationalists are advocating for White people to boss them around, and middle class capitalists are advocating for billionaires to boss them around. Being a cucked sycophant isn’t really a masculine trait last time I checked but being strong and standing up to the oppressors is.

In order for socialism to be built we need constant boom and bust cycles of burocreacy being built and then smashed down through constant uprisings
Either way, burocreacy needs to be destroyed as quickly as possible to accelerate determinitic development to communism.
Soviet Union should have fell in the 1960s
So that a new socialist revolution could have formed right after, the contradictions were held together for over 40 years until 1989, that was far too long.In order for socialism to be built we need constant boom and bust cycles of burocreacy being built and then smashed down through constant uprisings

An NPA-Mindoro (Lucio de Guzman Command) unit preemptively struck the attacking 1st IB troops in Sitio Tugas, Barangay San Vicente, Roxas, Oriental Mindoro Province on September 9. According to the unit, it immediately detected the presence of the 1st IB forces, which allowed the Red fighters to promptly prepare, position themselves, and open fire.

‘This is their attempt to silence him’: Umar Khalid reaches five years in Indian jail without trial
Before his arrest Khalid had emerged as one of the faces of an anti-government protest movement after the Modi government passed a citizenship law in late 2019 that was seen as discriminatory to Muslims. The protests that erupted were the first widespread challenge to the Modi regime and were met with brute force by the state. Dozens were killed by police fire and activists were detained and tortured.

Privatised phone system failure causes deaths in Australia
Optus CEO Stephen Rue held a short snap press conference at 5.30 p.m. on Friday to belatedly announce the breakdown. He provided no details or explanations, other than that an Optus network outage had caused the failure of 600 Triple 0 calls across South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. South Australian police confirmed that two deaths involved a baby boy from Gawler West, 43 kilometres north of Adelaide, the state capital, and a woman from Queenstown, in Adelaide’s northwest. A third death occurred in Western Australia, but that person was yet to be identified.

Eswatini activists protest US deportation deal at embassy in South Africa
The activists likened the arrangement to human trafficking, and said their country’s absolute monarch, King Mswati III, entered into the deal without consulting parliament. They also alleged he is secretly obtaining benefits from the arrangement that are not being shared with the Eswatini people. The five men were deported to Eswatini in July and are currently being held at a maximum-security prison where their lawyers allege they have not been granted access to see them.

Hamas shares 'farewell' photo of Israeli captives, warns Gaza war is putting them at risk
The statement added that Al-Qassam had "prepared fighters to plant explosive devices inside [Israeli] occupation vehicles" and that bulldozers would be "high-value targets." It also claimed that "Israeli captives are distributed across neighbourhoods in Gaza City," warning that any expansion of the Israeli operation would eliminate the possibility of recovering the captives – either alive or dead.

Trucks set ablaze as militants block key Senegal-Mali trade route
In a rare acknowledgement of the seriousness of the situation affecting the landlocked country, Prime Minister Abdoulaye Maïga said the authorities were trying to improve security on the routes. The blockade - a potentially serious escalation of Mali's long-running jihadist insurgency - is particularly affecting the supply of fuel, which could cripple the country.

Sharaa says Turkey might attack Kurdish-led SDF if they don’t integrate into Syrian army
According to Milliyet, Sharaa convinced Turkey not to launch an operation against the SDF after longtime dictator Bashar al-Assad’s regime was toppled in December 2024 in order to give negotiations a chance. But he hinted that if integration is not achieved by next December, Turkey might resort to military action.

Dutch police clash with anti-immigration protesters in The Hague
Thousands of people joined a protest organised by a rightwing activist demanding stricter immigration policies and a clampdown on asylum seekers, just over a month before a national election. Large groups of protesters, many waving Dutch flags and flags associated with far-right groups, clashed violently with the police, throwing rocks and bottles, footage from broadcaster NOS showed.

Engels, in contrast, tends to write in a more accessible and straightforward style. While he is equally intellectual, Engels’ works often have a more practical, pamphleteering quality. His language is clearer and less convoluted, with an emphasis on clarity and popularization of Marxist ideas. Engels is also more willing to engage in rhetorical persuasion, making his writing more digestible for a broader audience, as seen in works like The Condition of the Working Class in England.
When Engels wrote Principles of Communism, he took the style of a straightforward Q&A. After Engels wrote Principles of Communism, it was suggested that the style of a "catechism" be abandoned and a "manifesto" drawn up instead. This is why Marx and Engels ended up co-authoring the Communist Manifesto. But reading through the Manifesto and Principles back to back, the Manifesto seems less accessible, and Principles more straightforward. Manifesto has more of a call to action, but it is also more historically bound by the time it was written, while Principles seems more timeless.
Principles of Communism was written by Engels as a more systematic outline of Communist ideas in response to a question posed by the German Workers' Educational Society. It is a concise, theoretical treatise that lays out the basic principles of Communism, offering a clear framework of ideas, focusing on topics like historical materialism, class struggle, and the abolition of private property. It's more of a primer on Communism.
The Communist Manifesto, co-authored by Marx and Engels, is more dynamic, political, and revolutionary. It’s a direct call to arms, aimed at a broader audience, including workers and intellectuals. While it builds on the ideas in Principles, it is less abstract, emphasizing immediate political action, the inevitability of class struggle, and the need for revolution. The tone is urgent and rhetorical, designed to rally workers and challenge the existing order.
Anyone else think Engels is easier to understand than Marx?
Marx is more poetic, more aggressive. Marx's writing is dense, theoretical, and often philosophical. He employs complex, abstract concepts, and his tone can be polemical, especially when critiquing political economy or capitalism. Marx’s style is rigorous, dissecting systems with precision and often incorporating historical materialism to support his arguments. His texts, are marked by long sentences, layered analysis, and a critical, sometimes inaccessible, tone.Engels, in contrast, tends to write in a more accessible and straightforward style.

Hey Stalinoids.
North Korea has two legal parties other than the Communist party (one social-democrat and other - of some weird Korean folk religion schizos). And neither are a modern development - both were founded literally before the Korean War. Both are allowed to have a stable minority in the Supreme People's Assembly and this doesn't seem to harm DOTP of North Korea in any significant way.
What excuse does Soviet Union have?!

Reading the Church Fathers' comments on the Bible now and is simultaneously appaled, confused, and disturbed by this shit:
Paul: "…whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death…" (James 5:20)
Church Fathers: "Here, Paul talks about soul being in the danger of "death" from sin. Clearly, "death" there should be understood as a separation from God and not as destruction…"
Paul again: "…the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ…" (Romans 6:23)
Church Fathers: "Obviously, "death" there means not real death, but an eternal separation from God, and "life in Christ" means eternal submission to Christ!"
Paul again: "…by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly" (2 Peter 2:6)
Church Fathers: "You should very much read this as ungodly being punished by fire, yes, but you shouldn't think they would ever became actual ashes! Instead, they would burn for eternity!"
Jesus: "Do not fear those who can kill the body, but cannot kill the soul, instead fear the one who can kill both body and soul in hell…"
Chruch Fathers: "How can the Lord speak about "killing" the soul in hell if the soul can never die? The answer to that is that "kill" in this context actually means "eternally torture". Praise the perfect mercy of Lord our God!!!"
What the fuck is wrong with these people?! Why were they such deranged, cartoonishly evil monsters?
…Oh, right. This is your brain on Platonism. This is what Platonism actually does to your brain.
Reading the Church Fathers' comments on the Bible now and is simultaneously appaled, confused, and disturbed by this shit:
Paul: "…whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death…" (James 5:20)
Church Fathers: "Here, Paul talks about soul being in the danger of "death" from sin. Clearly, "death" there should be understood as a separation from God and not as destruction…"
Paul again: "…the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ…" (Romans 6:23)
Church Fathers: "Obviously, "death" there means not real death, but an eternal separation from God, and "life in Christ" means eternal submission to Christ!"
Paul again: "…by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly" (2 Peter 2:6)
Church Fathers: "You should very much read this as ungodly being punished by fire, yes, but you shouldn't think they would ever became actual ashes! Instead, they would burn for eternity!"
Jesus: "Do not fear those who can kill the body, but cannot kill the soul, instead fear the one who can kill both body and soul in hell…"
Chruch Fathers: "How can the Lord speak about "killing" the soul in hell if the soul can never die? The answer to that is that "kill" in this context actually means "eternally torture". Praise the perfect mercy of Lord our God!!!"
What the fuck is wrong with these people?! Why were they such deranged, cartoonishly evil monsters?

When Israel attacks and Turkey invokes Art 5 and gets 0 support from NATO, Turkey would leave NATO and join Russia-China-Iran axis. With Israel & US vs. Turkey at war now, Turkey would open the bosphorus to Russian fleets and Russia would position in Mediterranean. Cyprus being stupid, would feel opportunistic to claim all Cyprus, and declare war on Turkey, pulling Greece alongside. Turkey would capture all Greek islands in close proximity within the next 96 hours before any European fleet makes there. Turkey would start a massive land invasion, through Northern Syria straight into Israel. Kurdish groups would all try to fight in defence of Israel, where they would be annihilated. Turkish land invasion reaches to Israel within 2 weeks with massive losses but enough power to control the ground. IDF falls back, Israelis start fleeing the country back to Europe and the US as Turkey gives ultimatum and few days to leave the country. There is nothing anyone can do against such land invasion, definitely not US or any other country would put their troops to die in Israeli lands.
In the meantime, Turkey captures all Cyprus as Israel is now busy defending their own territory and pulls resources back. Turkey makes a deal with UK, in exchance of expanding UK presence in Cyprus. If UK doesn't accept and sides with Israel, Turkey offers the same deal to Russia.
Germany cannot declare war against Turkey, as that would mean complete destruction of Germany within, given 4 million Turkish population. Same for Netherlands and Belgium. I don't believe a second Spain or Italy would lift a finger for Israel and Greece. France would side with Greece and Israel, which would result in massive internal conflict in France as well, with leftists+muslims+Turks within France oppose the pro-Israeli war position.
During that time (if not already happened, which probably did), Pakistan provides nuclear weapons to Turkey, but Israel nukes southern Turkey first. This would result with Turkish troops to completely destroy Israel with or without nukes, adopting a Cartago Delenda Est doctrine against Israel, while losing over a million people.
Result:
- 2 million dead Turkish
- Completely destroyed Israel, it doesn't exist anymore
- Turkey captures Cyprus fully
- Turkey captures Dodecenese islands in close proximity
- France loses 50K people, chaos in country
- EU dissolves
- NATO ceases to exist and exposed as a farce
- Russia is now in Mediterranean and stronger than ever
I don't see a winner in this scenario, except Russia.

Corbyn responded with a statement on X, co-signed by five of the party's MPs, urging supporters to ignore the message and cancel any direct debits.

German fears: Rising cost of living tops list of concerns
Germans continue to worry that due to higher prices for groceries, fuel and power, they no longer have enough money to make ends meet at the end of the month. Like last year, and for the 15th time in the survey's history, the fear of rising living costs tops the rankings; inflation remains the ultimate German bogeyman. Finances overall are causing many to have sleepless nights. Of the Germans' four biggest fears, another two are also about money: fear of tax increases, welfare cuts and unaffordable housing.

Turkey warns Cyprus’ Israeli air defense system could destabilize island

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations, said Cyprus’ ongoing armament efforts would threaten peace and stability on the island and may lead to “dangerous consequences.”

Aid driver kills two Israeli military personnel at Jordan border crossing
A driver bringing humanitarian aid from Jordan for Gaza opened fire and killed two Israeli military personnel at the Allenby Crossing into the West Bank on Thursday before being killed by security forces, authorities from both nations said. No group immediately claimed responsibility for what Israel denounced as a "terror attack" at the only gateway for Palestinians from the Israeli-occupied West Bank to Jordan.

Bedouin families left homeless as Israel demolishes Negev village
A large contingent of Israeli police forces on Wednesday raided the unrecognised Palestinian Bedouin village of al-Sir in the Negev (Naqab) desert and destroyed al-Omrani neighbourhood, including 40 homes and other structures. Plumes of dark smoke rose over the village as residents, who had tried until the last moment to reach a compromise with the authorities, set fire to most of the homes using tyres. Hundreds of police officers - some riding dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles and horses - stormed the neighbourhood, where residents had been relocated by the authorities in the 1950s from a nearby area.

Brazil's Congress fast-tracks amnesty bill that could include Bolsonaro
His sons and supporters have touted legislative amnesty as one of his political avenues to freedom, although the legality of such a move remains contentious. Two Supreme Court justices have already argued that any attempt to pardon those convicted of plotting a coup would be unconstitutional. In a procedural vote, lawmakers voted on Wednesday, by a margin of 311-163, for an amnesty bill - which has still not been defined - to bypass committee debates and go straight to a plenary vote.

Unregulated overfishing in South Atlantic waters has predatory effects
The NGO mentioned in its latest report that around 343 vessels were operating just outside Argentina's 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone. This intensive, unregulated fishing threatens the squid population, a key food source for many marine animals. Jesús Uríos, an ocean policy expert with the EJF, noted that because there are no fishing quotas in these international waters, it's difficult to assess the full impact of overfishing, but he warned of a potential collapse of the species.

No US Forces were harmed in this strike.” Trump posted minute-long aerial footage showing side-by-side videos of a vessel – one in colour and one in black and white – which is struck by a projectile as it moves through the water.

Members of the refugee support group Grupa Granica joined one of their volunteers today at the district court in Bialystok. Bartek, who asked for his surname to be withheld, stands accused of influencing the official duties of the border guard. He could face up to three years in prison.

Insurgents raid Nigerian military barracks in Banki, soldiers retreat, residents and sources say
Insurgents in the area have upped their attacks this year against civilians and security forces. An internal security memo from the Civilian Joint Task Force, a paramilitary unit that helps the military tackle Islamist fighters, showed the attack started at about 2130 GMT on Thursday and ended in the early hours of Friday. "The insurgents overran the town and entered the military barracks, seizing ammunition and weapons. The commanding officer and soldiers reportedly abandoned their positions, fleeing towards Cameroon and leaving civilians behind," read the memo seen by Reuters.

“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking illicit narcotics, and was transiting along a known narcotrafficking passage en route to poison Americans,” Trump said. “The strike killed 3 male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel, which was in international waters. No US Forces were harmed in this strike.” Trump posted minute-long aerial footage showing side-by-side videos of a vessel – one in colour and one in black and white – which is struck by a projectile as it moves through the water.

South Korea vows ‘strong action’ against anti-China protests amid efforts to reset ties
Prime Minister Kim Min-seok on Friday directed law enforcement to “take strong action” against the increasingly disruptive rallies, which had led to merchants and residents complaining of noise, abuse and declining tourist traffic. Kim told police to “closely monitor the protests, and do everything possible to maintain public safety and order so that merchants, residents, and Chinese nationals in the affected areas do not experience growing inconvenience or anxiety in their daily lives”.

Health unions jointly refuse to participate with ‘defunct’ NHS Pay Review Body
Union frustrations over lengthy delays, below-inflation awards and suspected political interference come as questions linger over Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership ahead of the party’s conference starting next week. GMB had been the last major health union to engage with the PRB last year, which makes annual pay recommendations for NHS staff excluding doctors, dentists and some senior managers.

UK to scrap Northern Ireland immunity provision as approach to 'Troubles' legacy reworked
The new plans will overhaul the independence and governance of a new investigative body that was criticised by victims' families, and ensure it is capable of referring cases for potential prosecution. They will lift a prohibition on civil cases and establish a separate information recovery body, while also introducing protections for former soldiers who served in Northern Ireland, including a right to seek anonymity when giving information.

Rights group refuses to be ‘intimidated’ by Polish government’s attempts to ‘criminalise’ acts of solidarity with refugees
ACTIVISTS in Poland said today that they will not be “intimidated” by the government’s attempts to criminalise acts of solidarity with refugees after one of their members gave his final statement in court. Members of the refugee support group Grupa Granica joined one of their volunteers today at the district court in Bialystok. Bartek, who asked for his surname to be withheld, stands accused of influencing the official duties of the border guard. He could face up to three years in prison.

Insurgents raid Nigerian military barracks in Banki, soldiers retreat, residents and sources say
Insurgents in the area have upped their attacks this year against civilians and security forces. An internal security memo from the Civilian Joint Task Force, a paramilitary unit that helps the military tackle Islamist fighters, showed the attack started at about 2130 GMT on Thursday and ended in the early hours of Friday. "The insurgents overran the town and entered the military barracks, seizing ammunition and weapons. The commanding officer and soldiers reportedly abandoned their positions, fleeing towards Cameroon and leaving civilians behind," read the memo seen by Reuters.

Scores killed by RSF drone strike on mosque in besieged Sudanese city
A drone strike by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces on the besieged Sudanese city of El Fasher has killed 75 people worshipping in a mosque, first responders have said, as the group continued its push to capture the last foothold of Sudan’s army in the Darfur region. The attack, one of the deadliest this year in the city, hit the al-Daraja neighbourhood, where civilians from the famine-hit Abu Shouk displacement camp had fled after it was overrun by fighters .

I feel that with the almost generally admitted fact of the bankruptcy of Socialism and the growing conviction of the failure of Bolshevism and of revolutionary party dictatorship, the opportunities for Anarchist propaganda have immeasurably increased. People demand to now what Anarchism really is; they want an exposition of our ideas that they can clearly understand; they demand to know how it will work and how it is to come about.
Now, can we refer them to the old Anarchist literature with any hope of their finding there a direct and clear answer to their pressing questions? I personally feel that we cannot.
Because of these considerations, very briefly state here, I have come to the conclusion that what is of the utmost need just now is a new Anarchist literature based particularly on the recent experiences of mankind; on the War, the Russian Revolution, the German Revolution, as well as on the modern development of capitalism and on the new forms that industrialism is assuming in international proportions.
The fundamental spirit of that new literature must deal primarily with the following matters:
1. The Anarchist attitude to modern life in its new political, industrial, agrarian and social aspects;
2. the problem of Anarchist propaganda in view of the new development of capitalism and of the changing relationships between capital and labor;
3. does the modern phase of capitalism justify the old Socialist and Anarchist conception of the meaning of the Social Revolution?
4. is the old conception of the social revolution not subject to revision? Have we not over-emphasized the destructive side of revolution at the great cost of its constructive phases?
The new character and the inter-relationship of the destructive and constructive sides of revolution.
5. a) The character of an Anarchist revolution; or at least of a revolution inspired by Anarchist ideas and spirit;
b) the question of political parties, of dictatorship and of the State in the Revolution;
6. The place of the labor unions and the role of Anarcho-syndicalism in the revolution;
7. The manner and methods of the revolution developing along Anarchist lines toward the ultimate Anarchist society;
8. Means and ways of beginning NOW the educational and preparatory of work of inspiring the revolution with the Anarchist spirit and ideals;
What is to prevent the repetition of the Bolshevik experiment in the next revolution?
9. The new literature dealing with these matters in a direct, concise and popular form and language.
The above is merely a brief general outline of the issues to be discussed, a few preliminary suggestions.
Topics of Discussion // Emma Goldman
It seems to me that our old pro-revolutionary Anarchist literature has ceased to answer the demands of the modern day. Without going now into any discussion as to whether Anarchist literature has ever adequately dealt with the practical application of our ideas, the question at issue now is whether the time has not come for a new and more popular interpretation of our ideas, particularly in light of the World War, the Russian Revolution and the subsequent vital social developments.I feel that with the almost generally admitted fact of the bankruptcy of Socialism and the growing conviction of the failure of Bolshevism and of revolutionary party dictatorship, the opportunities for Anarchist propaganda have immeasurably increased.

Too many self-proclaimed communists in the West clutch their copies of The Communist Manifesto while hurling criticism at China, oblivious to what communism actually demands in practice. They romanticize a pure, abstract revolution—classless, stateless, perfect—yet fail to grapple with the messy reality of building socialism in a world dominated by imperialist capital. China’s path, with its state-led development and strategic market integration, isn’t a betrayal of communism but a pragmatic response to global capitalism’s chokehold. These armchair Marxists ignore how China lifted millions from poverty while navigating a hostile world order, instead whining about “authoritarianism” through a lens tinted by Western propaganda. True communism isn’t dogmatic purity; it’s dialectical, adapting to material conditions. Criticizing China without understanding its historical and geopolitical context isn’t revolutionary—it’s just posturing that serves the status quo.

It’s basically an anti-Leninist trend and against any historical form of socialism - any kind that has ever existed. So what exactly is left communism? It is an anti-Marxist, revisionist trend that capitulates under the pressure of anti-communist propaganda. It’s not the only trend that does this, but that is its most characteristic feature.
Left communism likes to present itself as theoretically genuine Marxism. People who aren’t well-read theoretically or lack a firm grasp of Marxism’s core principles seem to fall for it. In reality, though, it’s just revisionism and a vulgar distortion of Marxist ideas - especially Marx’s message and the essence of Marxism. In particular, left communism is the most extreme defeatist trend in revisionism and opportunism. It sees literally all socialist revolutions and socialist countries as “not real socialism.” This includes all Marxist-Leninist countries, other socialist experiments, and even anarchism.
Left communism has never had major historical or theoretical relevance. It is entirely isolated from real political action and only appeals to petty-bourgeois-minded opportunists. Some people - and by this, I mean left communists - might find that insulting, but it happens to be the case on purely theoretical grounds. These seemingly negative traits are actually left communism’s strength. Why? Because left communism is on a crusade against reality. It crusades against any socialism that has ever existed or will exist. Since left communists themselves have never had (and never will have) political relevance, their ideas will never become reality.
Left communism relies on abstract theoretical arguments out of touch with reality - meaning none of its conclusions ever need to be proven. If left communism did become reality, it would implode. Left communists would attack it as “stalinoid.” Left communism doesn’t exist on its own terms; it only exists as a parasitical opposition to actual socialism. That’s the only role it has ever played, even historically - see, for a particular example, the Brest-Litovsk days.
You might ask: If left communism is so irrelevant, why talk about it? Precisely because it doesn’t exist as a movement in itself. It exists solely as opposition to actual socialism - a stance more parasitical than any other movement. Trotskyism may oppose Marxism-Leninism; anarchism may oppose state socialism. But at least they have independent substance. Left communism is nothing except opposition to existing socialism. Left communism and its variants constitute a revisionist trend characterized by capitulation to anti-communist propaganda and a total lack of real political activity. Its defining features are distrust of the masses, isolation, pessimism, and defeatism - demonstrating its thoroughly petty-bourgeois nature. It is the ideology of the petty-bourgeois opponent of really existing socialism
Left communism, the newest stage of opportunism
I'm going to write a bit about the trend known broadly as left communism. It seems to me that left communism has now basically become this newest trend in opportunism. Back in the day, there were barely any left communists - there still aren’t many - but every now and then you see one. I’ve seen lots of opportunists retreat from their previous positions (whether they were anarchists, Trotskyists, or what-have-you) and switch to left communism. I suppose it is appealing to some people.It’s basically an anti-Leninist trend and against any historical form of socialism - any kind that has ever existed. So what exactly is left communism? It is an anti-Marxist, revisionist trend that capitulates under the pressure of anti-communist propaganda. It’s not the only trend that does this, but that is its most characteristic feature.
Left communism likes to present itself as theoretically genuine Marxism. People who aren’t well-read theoretically or lack a firm grasp of Marxism’s core principles seem to fall for it. In reality, though, it’s just revisionism and a vulgar distortion of Marxist ideas - especially Marx’s message and the essence of Marxism. In particular, left communism is the most extreme defeatist trend in revisionism and opportunism. It sees literally all socialist revolutions and socialist countries as “not real socialism.” This includes all Marxist-Leninist countries, other socialist experiments, and even anarchism.
Left communism has never had major historical or theoretical relevance. It is entirely isolated from real political action and only appeals to petty-bourgeois-minded opportunists. Some people - and by this, I mean left communists - might find that insulting, but it happens to be the case on purely theoretical grounds. These seemingly negative traits are actually left communism’s strength. Why? Because left communism is on a crusade against reality. It crusades against any socialism that has ever existed or will exist. Since left communists themselves have never had (and never will have) political relevance, their ideas will never become reality.
Left communism relies on abstract theoretical arguments out of touch with reality - meaning none of its conclusions ever need to be proven. If left communism did become reality, it would implode. Left communists would attack it as “stalinoid.” Left communism doesn’t exist on its own terms; it only exists as a parasitical opposition to actual socialism. That’s the only role it has ever played, even historically - see, for a particular example, the Brest-Litovsk days.
You might ask: If left communism is so irrelevant, why talk about it? Precisely because it doesn’t exist as a movement in itself. It exists solely as opposition to actual socialism - a stance more parasitical than any other movement. Trotskyism may oppose Marxism-Leninism; anarchism may oppose state socialism. But at least they have independent substance. Left communism is nothing except opposition to existing socialism. Left communism and its variants constitute a revisionist trend characterized by capitulation to anti-communist propaganda and a total lack of real political activity. Its defining features are distrust of the masses, isolation, pessimism, and defeatism - demonstrating its thoroughly petty-bourgeois nature. It is the ideology of the petty-bourgeois opponent of really existing socialism

Places for Succdem/Demsucc Bitching?
Worst place to bring this stuff up (besides /pol/ I guess), but I'm a succdem/demsucc I guess (I'm not really into labels) and first learned about /leftypol/ from seeing an ad for it on Jacobin of all places (which is bizarre given leftypol's disdain for democractic socialists and Jacobin but idk wht that happened, maybe others can tell me). Having skimmed through it, I realized this isn't the right place for someone like me given it's mainly MLs and hardline commies here, and if I'm being honest, I find them to be irrelevant fringe morons that I don't wanna get involved with. What are some better places for a shithead succdem/demsucc disillusioned and frustrated with the state of politics in America and the world post-2020/2024 to bitch online about it and shit on leftists (especially American leftists) for being ineffectual dipshits who couldn't enact change if their lives depended on it? Like, is there a democratic socialist equivalent to leftypol that may be better for someone in my position, if such a thing even exists? I'm probably gonna get told to kill myself, but I may as well ask since I assume a lot of you guys were in a similar position in their political journey as I am, and I'm curious to see what you guys say.

This disabled baby later died of her illness on August 1. She was 20 months old and slept her entire life at the mercy of doctors who routinely denied her care BECAUSE of her disability.
So why aren’t comrades up in arms about this? Denying a baby with Down Syndrome an organ transplant because of their disability and “quality of life” sets a dangerous precedent. Imagine if autistic people were denied lifesaving care in the basis our “quality of life” wouldn’t improve and scarce organs should only go to allistic people instead? Canada is already in the middle of legalizing MAiD for neurodivergent differences just like they push MAiD on people with physical disabilities. They literally want all disabled people eradicated.

We frequently talk about how eugenics is the ideological backbone of capitalism and how nearly every aspect of capitalism is rooted in eugenics.

Bringing American jobs back and reindustrialization are legitimate motivations. When in the past the United States has raised the banner of neoliberalism, Brazil warned of its harmful effects. Seeing the White House finally acknowledge the limits of the so-called Washington Consensus, a policy prescription of minimal social protection, unrestricted trade liberalization and overall deregulation dominant since the 1990s, vindicated the Brazilian position.
But resorting to unilateral action against individual states is to prescribe the wrong remedy. Multilateralism offers fairer and more balanced solutions. The tariff increase imposed on Brazil this summer is not only misguided but illogical. The United States is not running a trade deficit with our country, nor is it subject to high tariffs. Over the past 15 years, it has accumulated a surplus of $410 billion in bilateral trade in goods and services. Nearly 75 percent of U.S. exports to Brazil enter duty-free. By our calculation, the average effective tariff on American products is just 2.7 percent. Eight out of the 10 main items face zero tariffs, including oil, aircraft, natural gas and coal.
The lack of economic rationale behind these measures makes it clear that the motivation of the White House is political. The deputy secretary of state, Christopher Landau, reportedly said as much earlier this month to a group of Brazilian business leaders who were working to open negotiation channels. The U.S. government is using tariffs and the Magnitsky Act to seek impunity for former President Jair Bolsonaro, who orchestrated a failed coup attempt on Jan. 8, 2023, in an effort to subvert the popular will expressed at the ballot box.
I am proud of the Brazilian Supreme Court for its historic decision on Thursday, which safeguards our institutions and the democratic rule of law. This was not a “witch hunt.” The judgment was the result of proceedings carried out in accordance with Brazil’s 1988 Constitution, enacted after two decades of struggle against a military dictatorship. It followed months of investigations that uncovered plans to assassinate me, the vice president and a Supreme Court justice. Authorities also discovered a draft decree that would have effectively annulled the 2022 election results.
The Trump administration has furthermore accused the Brazilian justice system of targeting and censoring American tech companies. Those allegations are false. All digital platforms, whether domestic or foreign, are subject to the same laws in Brazil. It is dishonest to call regulation censorship, especially when what is at stake is the protection of our families against fraud, disinformation and hate speech. The internet cannot be a land of lawlessness where pedophiles and abusers are given free rein to prey on our children and teenagers.
Equally baseless are the administration’s allegations of unfair practices by Brazil in digital trade and electronic payment services and its alleged failure to enforce environmental laws. Contrary to being unfair to U.S. financial operators, Brazil’s digital payment system, known as PIX, has enabled the financial inclusion of millions of citizens and companies. We cannot be penalized for creating a fast, free and secure mechanism that facilitates transactions and stimulates the economy.
In the last two years, we have cut the rate of deforestation in the Amazon by half. In 2024 alone, the Brazilian police seized hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of assets used in environmental crimes. But the Amazon will still be in danger if other countries fail to do their part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Rising global temperatures could turn the rainforest into a savanna, disrupting rainfall patterns across the entire hemisphere, including the American Midwest.
When the United States turns its back on a relationship of more than 200 years, such as the one it maintains with Brazil, everyone loses. There are no ideological differences that should prevent two governments from working together in areas where they have common goals.
President Trump, we remain open to negotiating anything that can bring mutual benefits. But Brazil’s democracy and sovereignty are not on the table. In your first address to the United Nations General Assembly in 2017, you said that “strong sovereign nations let diverse countries with different values, different cultures and different dreams not just coexist, but work side by side on the basis of mutual respect.” This is how I see the relationship between Brazil and the United States: two great nations capable of respecting each other and cooperating for the good of Brazilians and Americans.

Lula: Brazilian Democracy and Sovereignity are Non-Negotiable

Over decades of negotiation, first as a union leader and later as president, I have learned to listen to all sides and to take into account all the interests at stake.

The scale of the protests will help the new prime minister gauge the depth of widespread discontent across the country. Authorities are planning to deploy more than 80,000 members of the security forces and 24 armored vehicles across the country, an impressive show of force rarely seen since the 2018-2019 Yellow Jackets protests. Workers from France’s railway, aviation and education sectors are all set to walk out, which appears likely to bring the country to a near halt.

This itself shows the operational grip of the private operators functioning collectively under the “Bee Network”, the franchised public transport system including the Metrolink tram/light rail service overseen by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). This is controlled by the 10 councils in the combined authority and led by Labour Mayor Andy Burnham.

Sikh leaders urge India to lift ban on pilgrims traveling to Pakistan shrine
The appeal came from Mahesh Singh, vice president of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, the official body that manages Sikh shrines in Pakistan, where many holy places of Sikhs are located. His remarks followed the Indian government’s Sept. 12 decision to deny permission for Sikhs to cross into Pakistan for Guru Nanak’s birth anniversary, citing security concerns. There was no immediate comment from New Delhi.

New French PM faces massive strikes amid perilous budget talksThe scale of the protests will help the new prime minister gauge the depth of widespread discontent across the country. Authorities are planning to deploy more than 80,000 members of the security forces and 24 armored vehicles across the country, an impressive show of force rarely seen since the 2018-2019 Yellow Jackets protests. Workers from France’s railway, aviation and education sectors are all set to walk out, which appears likely to bring the country to a near halt.

Bus drivers at three Greater Manchester companies to take four days of strike action
The members of the Unite union work for bus companies who rank among the largest and most profitable in the UK—Stagecoach, Metroline and First Bus. The planned walkout will shut down two-thirds of the Greater Manchester network. This itself shows the operational grip of the private operators functioning collectively under the “Bee Network”, the franchised public transport system including the Metrolink tram/light rail service overseen by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). This is controlled by the 10 councils in the combined authority and led by Labour Mayor Andy Burnham.

When the fascists invaded Poland with ease and found fast friends among the officials of the old regime, Mijal joined the Communist guerilla fighters of the Polish Workers' Party and helped lead the struggle until the end of the war, where he became Mayor of Łódź. He was a founding member of the Polish United Workers' Party (PUWP/PZPR), a longtime member of its Central Committee, and close colleague of its First Secretary Bolesław Bierut, who he had formed a close working relationship with during their time in the guerilla war. His commitment to Revolutionary Communism led him to become one of the leaders of the opposition to "de-stalinization" and capitalist restoration in Poland under Władysław Gomułka, who was allowed back into the Party and clawed his way back into power after Stalin's death.
Gomułka could not openly move against him at first, and so slowly chipped away at the people around Mijal until he himself was removed from his posts. In response, Mijal and others founded the Communist Party of Poland and propagandized widely across the country with support from Albanian intelligence and remaining contacts from the old underground operating in industrial sites. This would be met by fierce repression by the revisionist Party, and Mijal would not return to Poland until 1983, where at 74 years old he was immediately met again with repression and imprisonment until the final complete fall of the People's Republic in 1989.
In the waning years of the People's Republic, Mijal spared little venom in his denunciations of the reactionary "Solidarity" movement and the color "revolution" it represented, while also observing that it could never have existed in the first place had Poland stayed on the socialist road in the 1950s. After the fall of the People's Republic, he would continue denouncing the new bourgeois regime and vigorously opposed Poland joining the EU and NATO. He would continue to write and attempt to reconstitute the Revolutionary Communist Party until he died in 2010.
Committed to Revolutionary Communism and socialism till the end, in an interview in 2000 Mijal stated that:
>It is said that communism lost, did not pass the exam, that Marxism is on the shelves of history and other such nonsense, theoretical nonsense! In fact, there is a revolution under the skin, the explosion is inevitable. Capitalism is on its way to falling and that is beyond doubt for me. Communism will prevail.
Be like Mijal. Dare to struggle, dare to win.
A Memorial to Kazimierz Mijal and Polish Communism
On September 15, 1910, 115 years ago, Kazimierz Mijal — a steadfast Polish Revolutionary Communist, an adamant opponent of revisionism and capitalist restoration in Poland, was born in Wilków. The 18th child of poor and illiterate parents, Mijal worked himself to the bone to secure an education under the backwards regime of the Republic of Poland. On the eve of world war 2, he met a young Communist painter, Jadwiga Gniewkowska, who introduced him to Marxism. They married.When the fascists invaded Poland with ease and found fast friends among the officials of the old regime, Mijal joined the Communist guerilla fighters of the Polish Workers' Party and helped lead the struggle until the end of the war, where he became Mayor of Łódź. He was a founding member of the Polish United Workers' Party (PUWP/PZPR), a longtime member of its Central Committee, and close colleague of its First Secretary Bolesław Bierut, who he had formed a close working relationship with during their time in the guerilla war. His commitment to Revolutionary Communism led him to become one of the leaders of the opposition to "de-stalinization" and capitalist restoration in Poland under Władysław Gomułka, who was allowed back into the Party and clawed his way back into power after Stalin's death.

Smer’s membership in the European Socialists was suspended in October 2023, along with its ally party Hlas (the latter will remain suspended, but not yet expelled, the officials said).

Colombia’s president lashes out at Trump administration over drug war designation
“The Colombian people will reply if they want a puppet president…or a free and sovereign nation” Petro wrote, adding in another message that he would not let his nation “kneel” to U.S. interests and allow peasants who grow coca to get “beaten up.” On Monday, the Trump administration designated Colombia as a country that is failing to meet its international commitments to fight drug trafficking and blamed the Colombian government for a lack of progress in the fight against the cocaine trade.

Tens of thousands protest Dundee's Ecuador mine project near key water reserve
The government of President Daniel Noboa had granted Dundee an environmental license to start building the Loma Larga gold mine there, but as community pressure mounted, the country's energy minister in August suspended the start of construction work until Dundee (DCa.TO) provides an environmental management plan.

Noboa eliminates the diesel subsidy. Protests announced in Ecuador
Although it has been a tradition for presidents to personally announce such measures, Noboa decided not to appear on camera to report on the controversial decision. Instead, four cabinet ministers announced that the elimination of the subsidy would be offset by various measures, such as providing financial assistance to more families and subsidizing public transportation to prevent fare increases, among others.

Argentina Nothin' Happenings
Argentina is on the verge of recession and lacks social safety nets to provide immediate relief. Despite worsening hardships, no class consciousness is forming; instead people are flocking back to the same neoliberal parties they supported before. Accelerationism does not work and will never succeed without a revolutionary organization agitating both inside and outside the system.

It's a question I've asked myself a lot when I feel like killing myself in despair and I've only ever really resolved that this is just my lot, someone's gotta do what little they can with others who feel the same (or not) and deal with it like a man.
if we will win then why bother?
If you hold that communism's victory is inevitable then genuinely why bother with all the heart ache and tiring work of doing action, educating, keeping informed ect. Why not just do whatever tickles your fancy if your contribution will be less than 0.001%?It's a question I've asked myself a lot when I feel like killing myself in despair and I've only ever really resolved that this is just my lot, someone's gotta do what little they can with others who feel the same (or not) and deal with it like a man.

Has it ever struck anyone that, even way before the Kirk shooting and even before the election, rightoids have only becoming more and more incoherent since the start of the decade? This isn't to say they've never not had fundamentally fucktarded beliefs, but at the very least they had some baseline level of consistency and conviction.
"Palestinians hate me, want me dead, and are ruining white society, but Israel is also the one importing them to white society because they loathe us more than anyone, ergo both must be wiped off the Earth for a new thousand year Aryan age to commence" was the "standard" opinion as far back as like, 2017, now you've got people like Howling Mutant all but becoming Netanyahu's strongest soldiers, to say nothing of how much more openly deranged they've become (pic and linkrel).

In what is being described as an outstanding achievement for an Indian state, the Left-ruled southern state of Kerala recorded an infant mortality rate (IMR) of just 5 (per 1,000 live births), as per the latest report published by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India (ORGI). The IMR 5 is five times lower than the national IMR of 25 and better than most developed countries, such as the US, which recorded an IMR of 5.6 last year. IMR is used as a health indicator for the number of deaths of children below one year of age per 1,000 live births. Lower IMR indicates better access to healthcare and is a significant indicator for development in any country.

Three Pacific island nations have changed their allegiances from Taiwan to Beijing since 2019 and China is also providing police training in Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.

Students killed at Myanmar boarding school as junta escalates air war
Children were killed and injured at the boarding school in Kyauktaw Township in Myanmar's restive Rakhine state, the U.N. children's agency UNICEF said in a statement. It did not say how many were killed in the incident, but the Arakan Army, a militia battling the military in the western state, said at least 19, aged between 15 and 21, had died. Reuters could not independently verify the reports, as internet and mobile services in parts of Rakhine have been cut off by the Myanmar junta and attempts to reach Kyauktaw residents were unsuccessful.

The battalion he joined includes fighters from across the Arab world: Jordan, Iraq, Yemen, Syria and others. According to information gathered by Middle East Eye, many are recruited through Telegram groups advertising non-combat roles in the Russian army, with promises of land, high pay and fast-track citizenship. But once in Russia, the bait-and-switch begins.

British soldier stands trial over 1972 Bloody Sunday killings
The trial of the sole British soldier charged with murder over the 1972 "Bloody Sunday" killings of 13 unarmed Catholic civil rights marchers in Northern Ireland began on Monday, over half a century on from one of the defining moments of The Troubles. The soldier, who cannot be identified and is known as Soldier F, is accused of murdering two men and attempting to murder five others when members of a British army regiment opened fire in the mainly Irish nationalist city of Londonderry.

Far right makes biggest gains in German local elections
In the first test of voter sentiment since Mr Merz’s government took power, his conservative party took 33.3 per cent of the vote in Sunday’s elections for councils and mayors in North Rhine-Westphalia, while the Social Democrats — for whom the state was long a reliable heartland — took 22.1 per cent, final results showed today. Both parties did slightly worse than the last municipal elections in 2020. But the AfD took 14.5 per cent — a gain of 9.4 per cent. The anti-immigration party is strongest in the former German Democratic Republic, but Sunday’s showing underlined its arrival as a force in the west as well. In February’s national election, AfD took 20.8 per cent of the vote to finish second and become the largest opposition party. In North Rhine-Westphalia, it took 16.8 per cent.

Illegal gold mining is fueling a ‘mercury boom’ in Mexico, poisoning people and the environment
Soaring international gold prices are driving up the price of mercury, a toxic metal key in illegal gold mining, to all-time highs. While the demand triggers a mining rush in central Mexico, sustaining thousands of miners and their families, it also exposes them and the fragile environment to mercury poisoning. At the same time, this Mexican mercury is fueling illegal gold mining in the Amazon, contaminating large areas and harming both people and the environment.

How Petro got Colombia’s intelligence agency to adopt an anti-imperialist agenda
Instead of working for foreign intelligence agencies, the DNI shifted its focus to domestic issues like corruption, peace, and the physical protection of the president. Among other things, the DNI took over tasks previously overseen by foreign intelligence agencies. “The curation of personnel entering the Dipol (Police Intelligence Directorate) was done by American agencies like the CIA or the FBI. This is now done by the DNI,” a source with direct information told La Silla Vacia. The employment of former M-19 guerrillas stems from Petro’s mistrust of sectors within the security forces and intelligence community, which have long maintained ties to organized crime and paramilitary groups.

Trotsky's solution is that the communist republic should continue waging a war till the world is communist or the republic is dismantled. We saw that this was a mistake in the Brest-Litovsk crisis.
Stalin's solution is to strengthen the republic beforehand for the upcoming final battle against the imperialists, and this was the correct policy (compared to Trotsky) but Stalin made a mistake in thinking that socialism can be forced and a revolutionary break with the old mode of production is needed (just like seizing state power). This was, of course, a mistake, because you cannot establish the superstructure, the mores of socialist society, in one generation. There must be, after the communist republic is established and primitive socialist production is organized, a time where socialism must become a really real thing inside people's heads.
Hence Bukharin's Way to Socialism. We see how a Chinese version of this idea is currently playing out. You allow socialism as something really real to settle in while the communist republic, having seized state power in a violent struggle, reforms the very same republic towards a more advanced socialism.

The key to socialism is simple. It's almost a naive formula, but, suppose after an inevitable armed struggle between the communist party and bourgeois state the communists are victorious at establishing a proletarian dictatorship, and now how to wrestle with heightened class struggle.Trotsky's solution is that the communist republic should continue waging a war till the world is communist or the republic is dismantled.

It seems the days of collaboration and support between different political groups in the west seems to have almost completely fizzled out. Back in the early 1900s up until like 2020, gays, women, blacks, asians, latinos, communists, anarchists, jews, muslims etc would generally all vote to support each other in the west despite not having much in common besides the fact that all these groups were more or less underground and wanting more institutional power, but with the bourgeoise in the modern day figuring this out and turning everyone against each other, plus these groups have all evolved and articulated themselves to the point of clearly understanding whats needed for their groups to thrive where they are actually naturally separating from each other and competing with each other just as a predictable conclusion. And the effects of this are obvious, blacks hate whites en masse, jews hate muslims and vice versa, women arnt having kids anymore (and this is affecting literally all subgroups) and so on. I know Marx and Lenin argued that the primary division in society is class, not identity but how long can one keep their head in the sand and pretend like were living in 1920 or whatever when groups were atleast willing to collab back then!
>tldr
Its just to old fashioned to try and force all these competing groups in a room to get along, it makes more logistical sense to focus on creating a communist society for 1 subgroup of people only like china or DPRK or whatever

Coffee is perhaps the clearest example of colonial exploitation in global capitalism, to this day. Imperialist tendencies is perhaps the clearest there. But a socialist alternative has been on the mind for many years, which sadly did not happen, or has ever happened in an ideal manner. Bigger countries in the USSR like Russia have often done aid projects like the West did, for alligned countries but in a typical resource extraction type deal. The USSR builds infrastructure and gets sugar, oil etc. from smaller countries, and it often just made them dependent on the USSR as a result.
But there was a small time period where East Germany was yearning for actual coffee, the fake mixed stuff was not cutting it. An other USSR satelitte state had a small coffee production primarily abused by French colonialists in the past, and East Germany actually went ahead and thought to do it right. East Germany was by far the most advanced and richest of satellite USSR states, and Vietnam was ravaged by the war - so development aid coming from the DDR was actually mutual and beneficial, there was already a big vietnamesse community of refugees at Germany. Tractors, materials to build roads, hospitals, schools etc. were all to facilitate coffee production and tons of vietnamesse came over to Germany to become educated etc. It was huge investment compared to the pure extraction, slavery like conditions that still exist today in comparision with Starbucks or Nestle. It was long term too, not for short term profits. It takes over 8 years to actually grow coffee, and the deal was to keep jobs stable and safe and then the DDR would have a deal to get 20 years of coffee from Vietnam. Likely it would have been the trade mark soviet coffee, like Cuban sugar etc. Unfortunately or fortunately Vietnam had capitalistic renovations, the wall fell, but still Vietnam became the 2nd largest coffee provider, largely thanks to the infrastructure it built through east germany, and in the end was not dependent on the one who built the infrastructure in the first place like it was in the past in the capitalist west or socialist east. Like the story of the internet, an invention by the state, radically evolved through the market. So Vietnam coffee never became a socialist coffee, produced under conditions that I think Lenin, Marx etc. would have approved of, but the spirit was there since the beginning.
We never saw what a Russian + German Revolution would have looked like, and how they would have had a mutual partnership of development, but I imagine it would have looked like Eastern Germany and Vietnam? It is an interresting and in the end sort of tragic piece of history, like so much of socialist history.
Was the East Germany and Vietnam coffee deal the closest to an ideal socialist trade deal?

Why is Cuba the only socialist country libs like?
I had a conversation with Taiwanese rapper and communist Xiangyu a while back about his visit to Cuba pre-COVID. He openly said it was a shithole, and that the government cares more about using pinkwashing to get support from western libs than it does about building socialism. He said the lumpen are out of control there, and that Cubans have zero work ethic. Even when MLs talk about Cuba's recent "progress" it's all just stuff about their LGBT rights being the best in the world or some shit. I think the reason Cuba is the only socialist country libs like is because they don't provide any challenge to capitalist hegemony. They didn't industrialize when they had the Soviets to subsidize them, so their economy is mostly tourism and service based. To build socialism you need an economy built on productive labor like China. China's rapid economic development is the #1 reason the west sees them as a threat. Cuba is just a vacation resort.

AN TEAMPULL DUBH
<It is an eternal verity in the history of mankind that when any structure or institution, in its aspect as a repository for the dedication and aspirations of human beings, becomes disestablished by whatever means, then a residual loyalty and affection will endure upon the foundations of all that has been invested in spiritual and intellectual terms, material outlay notwithstanding.
<To Scottish Patriots, whose key focus remains fixed upon a Nation state which has, to all outward appearances, ceased to exist several hundred years ago, such loyalty and affection are patent assumptions of everday life. Ostensibly destroyed by internal and external enemies in 1707, Scotland is lent a continuing and substantive existence by the nourishment of our ongoing patriotic commitment and constant political vigilance. The sovereign state which was Scotland seems to have ceased to exist, and in significant areas of human structuration it largely has. However, as a beautiful, sacred and eternal concept, Scotland has remained very much alive in the hearts and minds of its patriot devotees with the material reflection of all these poignant human desires about to yield the sweetest fruit known to mankind. We believe in Scotland's hidden powers: the present is theirs, but all the past and all the future is ours.
<Nor is this present humiliating settlement the first occasion on which our people have looked upon the outrage to their country. Between the time of Alexander III and the accession of The Liberator, Robert Bruce, there lived a generation who knew only destruction and loss, an era of unmitigated national grief, the time of the incomparable William Wallace, cornerstone and slaughtered hero whose shining example will live forever in the consciousness of our whole people.
<In reflection of the material ruin of The Scottish Nation, the once proud Knights Templar found themselves defenceless in the face of cruel persecution, deprived of substance or estate and denigrated by the pan-European sovereign office which had once extended them recognition. Scotland and The Order of Templar Knights have shared the experience of eclipse in all the palpable areas which had once denoted their singular marks of uniqueness.
<However, the bright burning concept of Templarism and the perfervid and yet fully rational belief that human spirituality can and does rise above the things of this earth, in order to make even simple sense of our condition as a species; this concept then has survived all the damage that ill-disposed Princes and their patronage could inflict. All the damage inflicted by successively and concomitantly the ascendant Bourgeoisie with their prerequisite pallid, trite and tedious respectabilities, the crass pseudo-intellectualism of the Gauchist revolutionary tendencies, the modern epidemic of materialism and the remorseless passing of generations. Et in arcadia ego. Thus with our ancient, sacred and enduring Scottish nation; the means to kill it has yet to be devised.
<The belief that Templarism has survived in tangible form in Scotland alone, remains a potent and vibrant folkic article of faith. The esoteric tradition which has been built upon that survival, realising in Freemasonry its most vernacular and populist vehicle (though there have also been the shady, secretive and elitist cults which have scarcely broken the surface of common awareness) is evident to those with eyes to see.
<Templarism concerns self-sacrifice and a spirituality which transcends materialist priorities and challenges the assumptions upon which these rest. Templarism owes its survival to its Scottish redoubt, and to an extent, the ancient regime of Scotland owed its existence to Templarism. The new Scotland will be our Temple restored upon these earlier solid foundations and crafted from the same durable masonry. The keystone of our patriotic agenda for the new Scotland will concern the fostering of that sense of spirituality and altruism which is the timeless and priceless heritage of the Order of the Temple.

UN General Assembly backs two-state push for Israel and Palestine
Presented by France and Saudi Arabia, the seven-page document calls for “collective action to end the war in Gaza, to achieve a just, peaceful and lasting settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on the effective implementation of the Two-State solution”. It also orders Palestinian group Hamas, which runs the government in Gaza, to “free all hostages”, stipulating that it must “end its rule in Gaza and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority … in line with the objective of a sovereign and independent Palestinian State”.

Egypt discovers Israeli attempts to kill Hamas leaders on its soil
The senior Egyptian officials’ statements to MEE came in response to threats by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel would target Hamas in other countries. “Any attempt on the lives of Hamas leaders on Egyptian soil would be considered by Egypt as a violation of its sovereignty and, accordingly, a declaration of war by Israel, which we would not hesitate to retaliate against,” the security source said.

Albania puts AI-created ‘minister’ in charge of public procurement
Announcing the makeup of his fourth consecutive government at the ruling Socialist party conference in Tirana, Rama said Diella, who on the e-Albania portal is dressed in traditional Albanian costume, would become “the servant of public procurement”. Responsibility for deciding the winners of public tenders would be removed from government ministries in a “step-by-step” process and handled by artificial intelligence to ensure “all public spending in the tender process is 100% clear”, he said.

The CPI (M) and others demanded that India instead cut all ties with Israel. They reminded the Indian government that it has been the country’s foreign policy legacy to oppose occupation and support anti-colonial movements, such as the Palestinian struggle.

Egypt discovers Israeli attempts to kill Hamas leaders on its soil
The senior Egyptian officials’ statements to MEE came in response to threats by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel would target Hamas in other countries. “Any attempt on the lives of Hamas leaders on Egyptian soil would be considered by Egypt as a violation of its sovereignty and, accordingly, a declaration of war by Israel, which we would not hesitate to retaliate against,” the security source said.

Ireland won’t take part in Eurovision if Israel does
In a statement, RTÉ said that Ireland’s participation in a contest alongside Israel “would be unconscionable given the ongoing and appalling loss of lives in Gaza.” “RTÉ is also deeply concerned by the targeted killing of journalists in Gaza, and the denial of access to international journalists to the territory, and the plight of the remaining hostages,” the statement said.

Neither candidate to replace Rayner has backed ‘genuine’ Labour values, Momentum warns
A spokesman for Momentum said: “Labour members are left with two candidates in the race with little track record of representing genuine Labour values. “Although Starmer’s allies have, for now, succeeded in their goals of preventing a full democratic contest, their project is on borrowed time.” Candidates needed the support of 80 MPs by 5pm on Thursday to enter the next stage of the contest.

Albania puts AI-created ‘minister’ in charge of public procurement
Announcing the makeup of his fourth consecutive government at the ruling Socialist party conference in Tirana, Rama said Diella, who on the e-Albania portal is dressed in traditional Albanian costume, would become “the servant of public procurement”. Responsibility for deciding the winners of public tenders would be removed from government ministries in a “step-by-step” process and handled by artificial intelligence to ensure “all public spending in the tender process is 100% clear”, he said.

Former chief justice appointed Nepal prime minister in bid to end turmoil
The young protesters were anxious that their revolution might be subverted by traditional political parties or that there might even be a return of the autocratic king deposed in 2008. Karki, who was Nepal’s first and so far only female chief justice, was seen as “empathetic”, “kind” and “not corrupt”, said one Gen Z representative involved in the negotiations who declined to be identified.

Indian Left Decries BJP Govt for Hosting Israeli Minister
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) and several other Opposition groups, intellectuals, and activists condemned the Indian government for hosting Israel’s ultra-right-wing leader and finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich. The CPI (M) and others demanded that India instead cut all ties with Israel. They reminded the Indian government that it has been the country’s foreign policy legacy to oppose occupation and support anti-colonial movements, such as the Palestinian struggle.

China’s newest aircraft carrier sails through Taiwan Strait for the first time
The Fujian, which is doing sea trials ahead of its commissioning, was heading to the South China Sea to conduct training and scientific experiments, the navy said in a short post on social media. The navy said the carrier’s activities were not targeting anyone else. A social media account affiliated with state media quoted an expert saying the Taiwan Strait was the normal and most reasonable and efficient route for the carrier to reach the South China Sea.

Lenin on left-coms
>This movement among the left-communists is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxemburg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of the proletarian dictatorship and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire. […] Although in all these countries there are many bolsheviks every whit as bad as the worst of the left-communist revolutionaries, the part played by the latter in proportion to their numbers in the population is astonishing.

‘We took the gloves off’: ex-IDF chief confirms Gaza casualties over 200,000
The retired general told a community meeting in southern Israel earlier this week that more than 10% of Gaza’s 2.2 million population had been killed or injured – “more than 200,000 people”. That estimate is notable as it is close to the current figures provided by Gaza’s health ministry, which Israeli officials have frequently dismissed as Hamas propaganda, though the ministry figures have been deemed reliable by international humanitarian agencies.

<Some German liberals and intellectuals, reflecting after the failure of 1848–49, argued that unlike the French, Italians, or Hungarians, Germans were too cultured, too educated, too law-abiding, and too civilized to sustain a violent, popular revolution.

The extreme academic nature of groups like GSP (https://gegen-kapital-und-nation.org/en/) and their associates (Gruppen, Cristicuffs, etc) becomes readily apparent when they move from the realm of criticizing pure ideology, which they excel at, to more practical spheres. Pic related is a load of shit, for example.
Most low-wage earners are already painfully aware of the fact that they are cogs in a larger accumulation machine. The idea that a "proper critique of capitalism involves telling them about their position" (by pencil-pushing academics, no less) is completely detached from reality. There is not a single word about the practical consequences of being reserveless or the organs that proles associate with each other in to preserve themselves from the deleterious effects of competition. Consciousness is not mediated by struggle, they just need to read more essays!

If classless, moneyless and stateless society is the goal, the only way to teach society is to voluntarily to do stuff without force, its to encourage them to do stuff even if they have a basic safety net and no state tells them what to do.
If UBI continues for centuries, I could see a society emerging that does away with money altogether and people just organize to do favours for each other instead of the system we have now.
I am quite unsure on why socialist marxists do not support Unconditional Basic Income

That is because, China managed to achieve proper Socialism, and has managed to distribute wealth among the people of its country quite adequately, not ideally, but in such a way that the country remains sufficient and does not collapse like other stupid "socialist" countries did. Not only did China manage to checkmate the Western capitalists and become a strong independent force of its own, but also it now works on establishing Socialism elsewhere and helping others.
As we all know, the USSR was retarded. It was really just an empire called a "union" of republics that, in reality, was just a rebranded Russian empire. Compared to the moder efforts of China, their global missions on helping 3rd world countries are nothing compared.
Today, the people of China are helping Africa. The Chinese are on a mission of liberating the African economies from the influence of the West. Since the West is retarded, we don't want that shit in Africa. Think it's finally time for the Africans to tell the Westerners to stop fucking with their money. Let the Africans follow the example of China. No other socialist country other than China, has ever achieved the absolute eradication of poverty like it was done under the current rule of Xi. I don't give a fuck about the angry retards that are going to pull up calling China revisionist, these are facts. If you think otherwise, you are not a Marxist.

So, without any doubt, today, the greatest country on earth is China.That is because, China managed to achieve proper Socialism, and has managed to distribute wealth among the people of its country quite adequately, not ideally, but in such a way that the country remains sufficient and does not collapse like other stupid "socialist" countries did. Not only did China manage to checkmate the Western capitalists and become a strong independent force of its own, but also it now works on establishing Socialism elsewhere and helping others.
As we all know, the USSR was retarded. It was really just an empire called a "union" of republics that, in reality, was just a rebranded Russian empire. Compared to the moder efforts of China, their global missions on helping 3rd world countries are nothing compared.
Today, the people of China are helping Africa. The Chinese are on a mission of liberating the African economies from the influence of the West. Since the West is retarded, we don't want that shit in Africa. Think it's finally time for the Africans to tell the Westerners to stop fucking with their money. Let the Africans follow the example of China. No other socialist country other than China, has ever achieved the absolute eradication of poverty like it was done under the current rule of Xi. I don't give a fuck about the angry retards that are going to pull up calling China revisionist, these are facts. If you think otherwise, you are not a Marxist.

ICANN was under US jurisdiction until 2016!
Contributing to localizing sites and other projects is also important.
Medium (language) we use to communicate matters.
I think we gotta connect with non-US communities to undermine the US hegemony.
I'd like to see more resources and ideas to make internet more international and less US-centric!

Politicians would be exempt. It is being sold as “child protection” but the EU’s own legal service warns that it violates fundamental rights. Once a backdoor into encryption exists, it is not just governments who can use it. Hackers, criminals, and hostile states can too.
Today (with real encryption): Message is locked on your phone. Not even WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram (secret chat) can read it. Only the recipient can open it.
Under Chat Control: Your message is opened and scanned on your phone before encryption. If the scanning software believes it finds “prohibited” content, even by mistake, it is sent to the authorities.
Austria opposes the plan, but 19 EU countries already support it. If Germany joins them, the law could pass in October.
According to the campaign:
Mass surveillance: Every message, file, and image sent without suspicion would be automatically scanned.
Encryption undermined: End-to-end encryption would be weakened or broken, putting all communication at risk for everyone, not just criminals.
False positives: Innocent content such as jokes or holiday photos could be misidentified and trigger investigations.
Exemptions for politicians: Officials would be excluded under “professional secrecy” while normal citizens lose their privacy.

In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly – only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!
I have dealt more at length with the "undiminished" proceeds of labor, on the one hand, and with "equal right" and "fair distribution", on the other, in order to show what a crime it is to attempt, on the one hand, to force on our Party again, as dogmas, ideas which in a certain period had some meaning but have now become obsolete verbal rubbish, while again perverting, on the other, the realistic outlook, which it cost so much effort to instill into the Party but which has now taken root in it, by means of ideological nonsense about right and other trash so common among the democrats and French socialists.
Quite apart from the analysis so far given, it was in general a mistake to make a fuss about so-called distribution and put the principal stress on it.
Any distribution whatever of the means of consumption is only a consequence of the distribution of the conditions of production themselves. The latter distribution, however, is a feature of the mode of production itself. The capitalist mode of production, for example, rests on the fact that the material conditions of production are in the hands of nonworkers in the form of property in capital and land, while the masses are only owners of the personal condition of production, of labor power. If the elements of production are so distributed, then the present-day distribution of the means of consumption results automatically. If the material conditions of production are the co-operative property of the workers themselves, then there likewise results a distribution of the means of consumption different from the present one. Vulgar socialism (and from it in turn a section of the democrats) has taken over from the bourgeois economists the consideration and treatment of distribution as independent of the mode of production and hence the presentation of socialism as turning principally on distribution. After the real relation has long been made clear, why retrogress again?

I blame this on modern anarchists who don’t prepare beforehand. Anarchists do not have enough popular support and momentum to get going. Why? Because of lack of discipline and not educating the masses.
The case of Syria is even more pathetic because Rojava is already there, and cooperation could be established.

With that being said, how do we realistically combat the mass grooming of people into nazism through imageboards? The sharty is becoming the new 8chan but with way more cultural influence on the wider internet and the rest of the population is filled with young children, we have already seen solomon (a mass shooter that was a black man yet he was also a white supremacist with sharty connections) commit a mass shooting. With that being said clearly a lot of these young men are isolated and angry, doxxing random literal WHOS because they are trans, or even doing raids that help the federal government because the site is influenced by glowies. They even raided our very booru 2 days ago, and ILLEGAL CONTENT was posted (this was done by foodist nazis not soyteens but still scary that it’s that prevalent with their raids).
And with the thought on raids we can see some of these young people are being groomed into actual pedophile nazi communities but the sharty staff and wiki are so up their asses that they can’t see they have ideological similarities with the nazi foodists and that’s why they surround them.
They have crushed /leftysoy/ and banned many leftists on their wiki including me, I think this is gonna evolve into something much worst if we don’t do anything.

Bolsonaro jailed
Today, former President Jair Bolsonaro was unexpectedly taken into custody amid widespread astonishment. Security forces escorted him into a high‑security facility, where he is now expected to remain pending legal proceedings. A hush fell over Brazil’s capital as reporters surrounded the vehicle, cameras flashing. Supporters and critics alike gathered at the courthouse, sentiment sharply divided. Authorities have remained tight‑lipped about charges, though speculation swirls regarding alleged abuses of power. In a brief televised statement, Bolsonaro insisted on his innocence, calling the arrest politically motivated. Meanwhile, legal experts emphasized that due process must prevail. As the nation absorbs this dramatic development, citizens brace for what could be a historic trial, one that may reshape Brazil’s political landscape.

This was originally going to be a reply ITT>>2439192 but I decided to make it its own post
<it doesn't deserve to be that!
yeah well we have 20 dead /usapol/ threads in the catolog so who cares
If making above subsistence wage makes you "a petty bourgeois treatlerite" because it allows you to "accumulate savings after monthly expenses" which are "reserves that can be potentially converted into capital" then by that same logic any couple who has fewer than 2 children or any single person who has fewer than 1 child is "petty bourgeois" because the subsistence wage is the wage required, according to Marx, not just to keep yourself alive, but also your children, since capitalism requires the labor force to reproduce itself.
If a nation's population fails to reproduce itself Capital has to seek out labor from other nations by outsourcing or using immigrant labor. Something we see in the imperial core. If you're single and aren't bearing the expense of raising at least 1 adopted child, or if you're a couple, and you aren't bearing the expense of raising at least 2 children, then you aren't reproducing the labor force for capital, which means that even with a subsistence wage (which by definition, according to Marx himself, includes the cost of raising children to adulthood), you will have left over savings that can go towards "treats" (luxury commodities that aren't essential for survival like vidya games) or be used as money capital (i.e. invested as self-expanding value in an interest yielding savings account or 401k or some other petty bourgeois asset).
By this logic, many of the most puritanical Marxists on here (like Iron Felix) who rail against "treatlerites" and such are usually single men without children (the usual imageboard demographic) who, even if we believe them, and they are "immiserated wage workers earning a subsistence wage and unable to accumulate savings" they aren't actually reproducing themselves, which is one of the things Marx originally stated about the working class. This is because Marx himself had 7 children, half of whom died before adulthood, and he was writing during a time when contraception and birth control and sex education were basically nonexistent. This is why Marx railed against the Malthusian doctrine and basically stated that it was impossible for the working class to practice abstinence collectively. I think one of the most important things that has changed since Marx's time is the availability of sex education, contraception, birth control, and a more skeptical attitude towards marriage and starting a family, as well as the rise of anti-reproductive ideologies like antinatalism. It is harder for capital in the imperial core countries to get the desired oversupply of labor power, which is why the resort to outsourcing and immigration. Only a handful of "developing" countries still have fertility rates higher than 4 children per woman, and most of the imperial core countries have trouble getting each woman to have 2 children. So the labor force is not reproducing itself.
Birth strike under capitalism does increase wages actually by lowering the supply of labor and thereby increasing its demand. The inverse is also the case, which is what Marx was trying to point out with the idea of the reserve army of labor, or as Eugene Debs once called it, the reserve army of scabs. The same is true in pre-capitalism. In feudalism for example the only people who were wage workers were artisans in the towns, in the guilds. But when the black plague happened in the 1300s a lot of them died and their wages effectively doubled. This enraged King Edward III in England, at the time, so much, that he tried to freeze wages, but it as basically unenforceable. That was the result of a pandemic instead of a birth strike but we see similar patterns whenever the working population does not reproduce itself: The bourgeoisie has to pay more wages.
So maybe instead of being puritanical about who's "really proletarian" based on the ability to accumulate savings or not (without even considering whether it's set aside for emergency or used as money capital or both), we should look at how vastly different the imperial core is as an environment itself than during Marx's time. The proletariat is able to do things like accumulate savings even when making a subsistence wage by staying single and refusing to reproduce. Now if you want to redefine "subsistence" away from Marx's definition to not include reproduction, fine, but keep in mind that workers failing to reproduce themselves is not sustainable for Capital as a multi-generational system based on self expanding value and high profit rates, which is why Marx was focused on it as a system that needs to survive for more than 1 generation of working class life, which is why he included the cost of reproduction in subsistence.
This is not even getting into the question of whether a given working class person takes care of their dying elders (like me) or cuts off communication from them (like my parents did).

Reproduction of the labor force and "petty bourgeois" accumulation of savings
This post has audio if you're too lazy to read itThis was originally going to be a reply ITT
<it doesn't deserve to be that!
yeah well we have 20 dead /usapol/ threads in the catolog so who cares
If making above subsistence wage makes you "a petty bourgeois treatlerite" because it allows you to "accumulate savings after monthly expenses" which are "reserves that can be potentially converted into capital" then by that same logic any couple who has fewer than 2 children or any single person who has fewer than 1 child is "petty bourgeois" because the subsistence wage is the wage required, according to Marx, not just to keep yourself alive, but also your children, since capitalism requires the labor force to reproduce itself.
If a nation's population fails to reproduce itself Capital has to seek out labor from other nations by outsourcing or using immigrant labor. Something we see in the imperial core. If you're single and aren't bearing the expense of raising at least 1 adopted child, or if you're a couple, and you aren't bearing the expense of raising at least 2 children, then you aren't reproducing the labor force for capital, which means that even with a subsistence wage (which by definition, according to Marx himself, includes the cost of raising children to adulthood), you will have left over savings that can go towards "treats" (luxury commodities that aren't essential for survival like vidya games) or be used as money capital (i.e. invested as self-expanding value in an interest yielding savings account or 401k or some other petty bourgeois asset).
By this logic, many of the most puritanical Marxists on here (like Iron Felix) who rail against "treatlerites" and such are usually single men without children (the usual imageboard demographic) who, even if we believe them, and they are "immiserated wage workers earning a subsistence wage and unable to accumulate savings" they aren't actually reproducing themselves, which is one of the things Marx originally stated about the working class. This is because Marx himself had 7 children, half of whom died before adulthood, and he was writing during a time when contraception and birth control and sex education were basically nonexistent. This is why Marx railed against the Malthusian doctrine and basically stated that it was impossible for the working class to practice abstinence collectively. I think one of the most important things that has changed since Marx's time is the availability of sex education, contraception, birth control, and a more skeptical attitude towards marriage and starting a family, as well as the rise of anti-reproductive ideologies like antinatalism. It is harder for capital in the imperial core countries to get the desired oversupply of labor power, which is why the resort to outsourcing and immigration. Only a handful of "developing" countries still have fertility rates higher than 4 children per woman, and most of the imperial core countries have trouble getting each woman to have 2 children. So the labor force is not reproducing itself.
Birth strike under capitalism does increase wages actually by lowering the supply of labor and thereby increasing its demand. The inverse is also the case, which is what Marx was trying to point out with the idea of the reserve army of labor, or as Eugene Debs once called it, the reserve army of scabs.

How can small businesses gang up on larger ones? There has to be a way
Small Business Communism
I don't even like small businesses (why would I), so i know how this sounds, but leftoids are always like "the wealth disparity is crazy we need to do something", but basically equalization of the distribution of wealth is communism and therefore impossible etc. Clearly, the plan needs to be capitalist in nature. Everyone loooves small businesses, and market competition; an economy dominated by small businesses would even be preferable to what we have now, one dominated by megacorps. Ideally the govt would impose a diminishing return on the number of employees on a company by harsher punishment under law, steepening societal obligations, etc.How can small businesses gang up on larger ones? There has to be a way

On Thursday, the Supreme Court’s first chamber reached the necessary majority — three out of five votes — to convict Bolsonaro of five crimes, including attempted coup, attempted abolition of the democratic rule of law, and membership in a criminal organization. Several generals were also convicted for their roles in the attempted uprising. Despite intense pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, the trial proceeded, and the Brazilian court plans to determine the sentences this Friday.

In Venezuela, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello on Thursday accused the U.S. government of murder, characterized its version of events as “a tremendous lie” and questioned how the people on board the targeted vessel were linked to the gang. “And how did they identify them as members of the Tren de Aragua? Did they have, I don’t know, a chip? Did they have a QR code and (the U.S. military) read it from above in the dark?” Cabello said. “They openly confessed to murdering 11 people.”

Soldiers stormed shops and cafes, detaining patrons, as well as residents in their vehicles, forcing them to march in line towards an Israeli military checkpoint, a WAFA correspondent reported. Israeli forces launched a campaign of violence in the occupied West Bank after six people were killed in a shooting attack in occupied East Jerusalem earlier this week. Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, claimed responsibility for the shooting, in which both suspects were killed.

We are rabbits.
We are the prey. We hide in warrens during the day,
as dogs and cats and foxes prowl the field above. Every night our friends are killed grazing. This is perfect nature.
The adults say this is how it must be. They graze us, they subside on us. We will go to heaven, peace will reign,
nature is not scary. It is normal, how things have always been. A cycle. We need them as much as they need us.
We scream as they dig up our tunnels. We cower silently as a ferret takes the other nest. I'm young, terrified, naive;
this can't go on.
We are cowards, we have to be. We are weak, small, powerless. But I have a team. We think it through.
They are parasites. They only live when there are more of us alive, and they die when our population is at a norm.
Maybe I will touch a world where no rabbit has to hide.
Rabbits are fragile, but we can bite. When backed into a corner, we will fight.
And there is no escape from the world.
It's a perfect trap. One will bait, two will collapse the tunnel, three - me - will bring the wood down.
We're comrades. Brought up together, lost ones together, we will make a new world together.
My ears twitch as I wait for the signal. I shit myself. All I can hear is my panting.
The yelp of the bait rabbit as he is wrought. Topsoil tumbles. The dog is caught.
I emerge in a flash, adrenaline in my veins, my animal self telling me "go back!". The stick is in my mouth.
From all directions we attack. The dog, suprised, snaps back. My sister is in its jaws.
I do not see the third, for I am upon it. I stab the stick into its leg, the twig snaps.
Stunned, a rabbit in the headlights. Death comes to me from the dog's eyes. Run! No choice but Run!
But then my comrades will die. I go against nature and bite down on its leg. No human could predict what I did, what I would have said.
Blood soaks my tongue, a terrible taste. It howls in pain. That's enough, I jump back with my hind legs, kick it, and run.
I make it a step before a leg strikes me, powerful, angry. The field becomes red, I scream in agony,
and rage, and sorrow, and victory, and fear.
I kick at the earth, bones broken. Rabbits are fragile. I'm fucked.
I'm not really that brave. I bit because I was scared, saw it look at me. Now I'm going to die. No heaven for me,
nothing waiting for us.
We didn't take it down, but some escaped. The dog is a little hurt, at least. Not much consolation for death.
We won. Maybe we didn't kill the thing, but there'd be more if we did. We… I - I showed the warren the predators aren't invincible.
What good does that do for me. Can't enjoy fame when you're dead.
The dog approaches, its time for the end. I'm scared. I cry, I'm going to die.
Courage means a bit, intelligence a bit more,
the real strength of rabbits is we've got more.
You can kill me, kill all my comrades, but you won't win the war, because you need us, we don't need you.
I made a difference. More will follow me. There will always be more. They will resist for me.
Comrades, don't avenge me. I won't exist to thank you. Just win, and make a world where there aren't predators and prey.

I personally as a libertarian (who thinks religion should be fully separated from the state) do not agree with this sentiment, because if we have GOD given rights, then no government can just take them away.
But if we have government given rights, well the government can just take them away.
Imo It’s wild that congressional members feel comfortable comparing the founders of this country to the Iranian government. Jefferson wasn't running Tehran. Jefferson would consider many things that trump is doing as unconstitutional overreach, from sending the military to our cities, to his interventionist foreign policy and more.

1984 and Animal Farm were a projection of a BOURGEOIS society onto real communists. I bet that all those NKVD horror stories are also projections of what MI6 and CIA are doing every day
Literally 1984
Funny how liberals went full totalitarian at the slightest provocation, they jail people for harmless tweets, and yet they continue screeching about communist China censorship. The moment Westoids stopped being able to affor gibs to pacify the population, they turned to full-blown fascism, just like communists were saying for the past 100 years1984 and Animal Farm were a projection of a BOURGEOIS society onto real communists. I bet that all those NKVD horror stories are also projections of what MI6 and CIA are doing every day

What Soviets could have done to win the Cold War?
From my own head:
-[Re-]legalise other political parties than CPSU after WW2 ends on the condition that CPSU retains a privelleged position (most importantly, exclusive control over the Soviet army). One party dictatorship could have justified during the time of Revolution, preparation for the unevitable backlash of the reactionary forces (WW2), and WW2 itself, but Khruschev already had really no excuse for keeping it. Deliberately design it that way that members of the Communist party could get noticeably less treats than members of these other parties, so all of the treats-oriented opportunists and careerests became honeytrapped in these other parties instead, keeping CPSU pure.
-Unlike army, Soviet police should have been independent from Communist party… and arrest Khruschev and co for investigation under the charge of "if Stalin was so evil, why had you worked for him for so long?". (And organisation of a coup… And murder of Beria…). Hold a big public trial in Moscow for investigation of Stalin's alleged and real crimes.
-Make a "continental" colonialism the target of your propaganda instead of "oceanic" colonialism. Make in your propaganda comparsions between what Anglo settles were doing to Amerindians with what Nazis were doing to Slavs. Claim that Finnish porkies are not real Finns, but Swedish craKKKa colonisers stealing language and identity of the POC they are conquering (and that the same were the case with Estonians and Balts before WW2). In general, present anti-imperialism as a moral foundation of your project rather than anti-capitalism.
-Despite the previous point, try not to intervene agaist imperialism at all. Not even in Hungary. Instead, invest in computing and let Nikolay Brusnetsov use his ternary Setun computer in the industry at last.
-Don't backstab Mao like that. Just… don't.

Why is masculinity so important to cishet men?
I see a lot of men on the internet being very concerned and upset about the fact that western society seems to be becoming less masculine and that modern society seems to be losing touch with traditional ideas about masculinity and what it means to be a man. I saw a thread on here where OP was lamenting the fact that leftism is not commonly associated with masculinity and trying to think of ways to make leftist politics more masculine. I'm realizing that a lot of men, namely cisgender heterosexual men, have a very strong emotional attachment to their gender identity and it is very important to them to present as men and exude traditional masculine characteristics in everything they do, to the point where everything they think and perceive is through the lens of masculinity. Even transgender people I have known do not obsess about their gender identity to the level that these cis hetero men do. Why is that? Why is it so important to them?

This thread is made to answer this question.
If you don’t live in America it can be your countries President or Prime Minister or whatever the fuck you guys call it.
But you can’t say declare martial law, stage a military coup, or any other unrealistic stuff, you will have to go full Claudia Sheinbaum and run the capitalist country as a Socialist or Communist or whatever the fuck.
My answer is this:
I would try to grow Marxism in the country and on the global stage as much as possible. I must increase the cracks in the capitalist system until it can be shattered. I will expand the welfare state, increase taxes on the rich, decrease military spending, increase public transportation funding, sanction Israel, end the trade embargo’s on Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and Iran, establish closer relations with them and distance the country away from the EU. I would also Nationalize healthcare, the extraction industry, and most grocery stores. I will ban assault weapons, charter schools, and lobbying. I will also no longer recognize Israel and I would pull troops out of Taiwan and South Korea. I would get Ukraine to surrender Crimea and Donetsk and other territories in exchange for peace with Russia just like what is currently seemingly happening although I won’t steal Ukraines minerals. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg, I just hope congress will let me do this but seeing as how they are doing with Trump I could probably fucking nationalize the economy and deport all former CEO’s the a Gulag in El Salvador.
What would you do if you were elected president 🤔

Right-wing prime minister installed in Thailand
The BJT was founded in 2008 after a right-wing faction representing the rural bourgeoisie split from the Thai Rak Thai—the forerunner of Pheu Thai led by the multi-billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra. It has consistently aligned itself with military and royalist forces to prop up capitalist rule. It maintains its presence in parliament primarily through networks of brokers, vote buying and construction contracts. Anutin is one of the wealthiest politicians in parliament, with declared assets of more than 4.3 billion baht ($US115 million) that include three private jets, two speed boats and a luxury residence in Bangkok.

Nepalese soldiers impose curfew in attempt to restore order following anti-government protests
The army warned on Tuesday night that security forces were committed to preserving law and order. The military is rarely mobilised in Nepal and troops initially stayed in their barracks while police failed to control the situation. Soldiers fired into the air today after prisoners overpowered police guards and tried to escape from the main jail in the heart of Kathmandu. The prisoners set fire to buildings containing cells and guard houses and broke down the main entrance before pouring into the streets.

In Havana, home to 2 million residents, authorities said they were working to start major power plants. This was the fourth time in less than a year that the national grid collapsed. In the past, it has taken two to three days for service to be fully restored.

It was a rare instance of the radical libertarian outsider prioritizing his political needs over his cost-cutting crusade.

Cuba says power slowly returning after nationwide blackout
In Havana, home to 2 million residents, authorities said they were working to start major power plants. This was the fourth time in less than a year that the national grid collapsed. In the past, it has taken two to three days for service to be fully restored. "There has been a total disconnection of the Electric System," the Energy Ministry and National Electric Union said Wednesday morning.

everyone with half a brain knows the mere idea of "proletarian nationalism" makes no sense yet tons of people believe you can have "proletarian feminism". a communist movement that tries to unite proletarian women with the rest of the class isnt really proletarian feminism, because its focused on class interests, not womens interests
if you really care about womens liberation, you need to explain why their goals cant be fully achieved under the current system and point out the directions they might be going wrong. for example, things like the hijab wont really change unless there are major shifts in womens economic, social, and political conditions in those regions, but its still under the scope of capitalism. the bigger point is that if the goal is to end class society, the focus has to be on class itself. womens issues should be understood through the lens of class they reflect class interests and can help unite the proletariat. treating women as a separate unified category just creates divisions that work against class. women exist across all classes, and their interests are shaped by both class and gender. you cant lump them all together under one banner for a struggle that might go against their own class interests. thats why feminism as a movement is basically ineffective. again you could call it "proletarian feminism" but women workers act in unity with the rest of the class not for unity of women, its not about women as women, it’s about class. in the end its a class movement not a feminist one
the full emancipation of women would come from ending class society itself, but it wouldnt really be a feminist movement because its not about women as women

If you somehow didn’t know, Lenin was not buried and his corpse was mummified and it has been on display for 100 years by now. Everyone on the right wants him buried and on the left the answers are mixed.
Here is my personal opinion on the matter:
I don’t think he should be buried because he’s not dead yet, he’s just resting for a bit. All jokes aside I do think he should be buried, now normally I wouldn’t but since he personally didn’t want to be embalmed I think we should respect his wishes and burry him next to his mother like he wanted, it was Stalin who did this to him, Lenin’s wife and siblings begged him not to do this but Stalin being the Tankie he was did anyways.
Also his corpse is getting disgusting, I hear that every few months that have to soak him in bleach because black spots keep growing on bro’s skin.

Silent Push-Out: Courts, States & Deportation of Bengali-Speaking Muslims
Since May 2025, India has seen a disturbing rise in what human rights groups call “illegal deportations” or “push-out” — forced expulsions of Bengali-speaking Muslims to Bangladesh. The people targeted are largely poor migrant workers from West Bengal who moved to cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Ahmedabad in search of jobs. Families say that men and women are being suddenly picked up in raids, flown or bused to Assam, and then coerced across unguarded sections of the border by the Border Security Force (BSF).

As such, abrupt abrogation of FMR and construction of physical border fencing…have adversely impacted and disrupted the natural flow of community and familial interdependent relationship…” the memorandum said.

I am an atheist, but think it would enourmously benefit humanity on a superstructural level (and in turn, non-negligibly benefit humanity a material level) if, after Italian People's Socialist Republic annexes Vatican over the course of the world revolution, instead of trying to abolish the Catholic Church, we push our guy into the position of the Pope (Soviet Union had ultimately succeded in this with the head of Russian Orthodox Churh, even if only under Brezhnev) and get him to do these:
1)Use papal infallibility to officially condemn "Augustinian heresy" of every single person being automatically guilty of Adam's sin from birth and deserving of Hell. Proclaim that Augustine was posessed by demon hiding inside him since his Manichean phase when he had mistranslated Romans 5:12 to say that. Also condemn as part of Augustinian heresy the notion of Hell as Eternal Conscious Torment rather than… Yahweh's cosmic trash recycling plant where He destroys broken souls, perhaps even salvaging from them the bits and remains of His image for later re-use or something.
2)Use the papal infallibilty once more to proclaim that the End Times described in the Book of Revelations are largely the prophecy for the Second Temple's destruction in 70 AD in specific and the persecutions of Jews and early Christians by certain Roman emperors in general, and thus there are no "Antichirst 666 global dystopia" or Rapture awaiting humanity in the future whatsoever. The only prophecy from Revelations that is yet to happen is the second coming of Jesus for the Last Judgement after a millenium of global prosperity (which is a type of partial preterist postmilleniarism AFAIU)
3) Reinstate Holy Inquisition, but only againt those who would be against 1) and 2), especially against Evangelicals and Jehovah's Witnesses

Essentially, after Macron chose to start early legislatives elections in 2024, the French national assembly has been divided in 3 main blocs, the NFP, a coalition of parties affiliated to the left, the Presidential camp, who allied themselves with the hard right republican party and the RN, the main far right party
with the NFP having come first in the elections, Macron was supposed to chose a prime minister of their desires, but he didn't do that, instead choosing Michel Barnier to lead a center-right government. Barnier's government became the shortest lived government of the 5th republic. Macron replaced him with Bayrou who started yet another centrist government. Essentially, Bayrou's government was riddled with scandals, the major one being his coverup of child rape in a private catholic school when he was minister of the education, but the main reason he's going down is his budget for 2026, where he intended to make major cuts in the economy, such as removing certain holidays like VE day, and other ultraliberal policies. He did chose to let the national assembly vote in their confidence in him, the left wing parties and the far right both agreed that they would vote against him, and even 2/3 of the republican party promised they'd vote against him. So it's extremely likely he gets fired this evening.
Now, once he gets fired Macron has 3 main options
-Continue as he has done previously, put another centrist guy in power, and hope he doesn't get fired again
-Find an agreement with the left or the far right, now, in the left, there is the PS who have often been favorable to Barnier and Bayrou, going against the grain of their allies in the NFP, a united coalition from PS to Republican doesn't have an absolute majority, but it's fairly close, such a government could be sustainable.
- He can dissolve again and hope for a solution there, but it's unlikely to yield any favorable results for him, as Bayrou is very unpopular, and he is less likely to benefit from leftists voting for him as the lesser evil.

Inspired by Hans Delbrück, Ishiwara proposed that there are two types of war: protracted and decisive. Japan must unify Asia under its leadership, in preparation for a protracted war with the West under American leadership. He also hoped that an intervention of Manchuria would awaken Japan to its historical mission. He expected that before the final war, Japan would fight a war with America over who can control China, and Japan would prevail.[5]
Ishiwara felt that the period of world conflict was fast approaching, and Japan, relying upon its vision of the kokutai and its sacred mission to "liberate" China, would lead a unified East Asia to defeat the West.[6] He claimed "Japan must be victorious, not for the sake of her own national interest, but for the salvation of the world."[7]

Milei’s recently formed La Libertad Avanza party captured just 34% of the vote in Argentina’s biggest province, losing by a landslide to the left-leaning Peronist opposition, which secured 47% with the majority of ballots counted late Sunday. Milei conceded that his right-wing party’s crushing 13-point loss to his populist rivals represented “a clear defeat.” “We suffered a setback, and we must accept it responsibly,” Milei told grim-faced supporters at the party headquarters, his tone reflective, even chastened.

Colombia’s traditional center-right parties face internal rebellions ahead of elections
In the Liberal Party, a left-wing faction has been clashing with party director Cesar Gaviria over his opposition to the government of Gustavo Petro for years. While Gaviria wants to be with the center-right coalition in opposition to the left, the dissident faction claims to be “firm with Gustavo Petro,” and has expressed support for the candidacy of Carolina Corcho, Petro’s former health minister. …. The Conservative Party’s leadership is preparing sanctions against representatives who obtained key positions in the administration for their support for the government’s legislative agenda.

‘They grabbed us like dogs’: deportation quotas tear Haitian migrants’ lives apart
Under pressure to meet a weekly deportation quota of 10,000, the Dominican Republic’s general directorate of migration (DGM) is now pushing into bateyes. Raids are increasing, and even people born in the Dominican Republic – with documents or not – are being rounded up and deported, flagrantly disregarding laws, according to human rights organisations.

Moroccan military officials met defence companies in Israel, says report
As recently as August, a delegation from the high command of Morocco’s army was invited to Israel by the research and development directorate of the Israeli defence ministry. There, Israeli defence companies presented military equipment to senior Moroccan officials. The companies present included state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), counter-drone specialists Sentrycs and D-Fend Solutions, and small arms manufacturer Smart Shooter.

Turkiye’s opposition CHP supporters clash with police outside Istanbul HQ
CHP national leader Ozgur Ozel dismissed the ruling as “null and void”, saying Tekin had been expelled from the party. Celik also insisted he would not hand over the post. Tekin entered the building on Monday after a lengthy standoff, telling reporters he was not working for the state and would focus on resolving the party’s legal disputes. Al Jazeera’s Sinem Koseoglu, reporting from Istanbul, said prosecutors launched the case after complaints from a faction within the CHP, accusing the dismissed leadership of irregularities and corruption during the party’s 2023 congress. “For opposition supporters, this is seen as a judicial coup against them while rival CHP members insist the ruling addresses corruption,” she said.

One member of the group is seen spraypainting "Baby Killer" on a desk and on a wall, likely referring to Israel's killing of thousands of Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip.

Among the measures he announced “to stop the genocide in Gaza and to go after its perpetrators” was a law formalising the existing, de facto prohibition on military equipment sales or purchases with Israel, and a ban on the use of Spanish ports and airspace to transport fuel or weapons to the Israeli military. Sánchez also said those “directly involved in the genocide” would not be allowed into Spain and announced increases in his country’s humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Prime Minister François Bayrou’s nine-month tenure ended in political collapse Monday, after lawmakers ousted the veteran centrist in a crushing defeat. Once seen as President Emmanuel Macron’s best hope to steady a fractured government, Bayrou saw his push for sweeping austerity and a high-risk confidence gamble backfire – leaving Macron searching for yet another successor.

Modern humans began migrating into Europe about 40,000 years ago, from the Middle East and from Africa. In the timeline of evolutionary biology, 40,000 years is almost nothing. Certainly not nearly enough time for a bunch of supposedly inferior brown sand people to evolve into the superior white-skinned master race of Übermensch that Europeans believe themselves to be.

So I think I have an explanation that makes some amount of sense in the logic of capitalism, but you'll need to bear with me here. My experience comes from legal practice and academia and not tech, but I've been watching this process play out in every "white collar" field.
The tendency has been to equate "blue collar" with "working class" and "white collar" with "managerial/professional class." There may have been a time when that was accurate, but it is probably more useful today to split the managerial/professional class into two strata: Executives and Intellectual Labor. Since the M/P class emerged as a force, it has served two functions: The first is to offer a place for the non-inheriting children of the capitalist class to land, while the other is an upward mobility outlet for the skilled children of the working class. In the mid-20th century, the formula for upper social movement was for a working-class kid to go to college to enter a white-collar job, work their way to upper management before starting their own firm to join the capitalist elite. It is the emergence of these paths that has helped keep capitalism stablish for the last century in the west.
The neoliberal "revolution" of the late 70s/early 80s and the tech sector explosion that started in the 90s caused the gap between the Executives and Intellectual Labor to spread into a chasm while also narrowing the gap between the Executive stratum and the upper stratum of capitalists. The AI "boom" is largely being driven by this blurred archcapitalist/executive wannabe aristocracy who no longer relate to the Intellectual Labor stratum they no longer tend to rise from. They now see Intellectual Labor as workers they have to pay more for some reason.
AI appeals to this group because it allows them to replace Intellectual Labor with unskilled labor who can be trained to prompt an AI with little-to-no education and pay comparable to entry-level blue-collar and service jobs. That's basically the goal. AI enthusiasts are either part of this group, believe the AI won't eat their face, or are people who think they could do the lawyer/artist/psychologist's job better if they didn't need to put in all the work to become an expert.

AI enthusiasts are either part of this group, believe the AI won't eat their face, or are people who think they could do the lawyer/artist/psychologist's job better if they didn't need to put in all the work to become an expert.

Like all color revolutions this has roots in legitimate greivances. The two big communist leaders in Nepal, Oli and Prachanda, embraced bourgeois democracy, and have allowed their egos to get in the way of building ML unity. But instead of demanding the purging of corrupt officials and the unification of the various CPs, Gen Z anarchists want to burn the whole thing down. Gen Z are allergic to any form of vanguardism, which is why they do shit with no plan, and then act shocked when things get worse.
Yet another color revolution
This past weekend Nepal's ML PM ordered all social media sites banned for failing to comply with new internet regulations. Basically they're trying to protect internet sovereignty. Immediately there were massive protests that the media is labeling a "Gen Z Uprising", and the usual glowie shit of allegations that security forces shot to kill protestors. If that's not enough, the "leader" of the protests is the centrist lib mayor of Kathmandu, who is a former rapper and charismatic social media poster. Sounds a lot like another Zelensky. Then on top of it all you have Gen Z demanding the restoration of the monarchy that Nepali communists literally shed blood to overthrow.Like all color revolutions this has roots in legitimate greivances.

For fellow Marxist apostates: what made you turn away from Marxism?
I had abandoned Marx and Lenin when I had realised their theory is based on a massive hypocricy: if you are do not treat members of the upper classes as human beings but as machines programmed to optimise their economic interests, you are a doing le based materialst analysis and are epically owning moralists and idealists, but if you are do not treat members of the lower classes as human beings but as machines programmed to optimise their economic interests, you are an evil fascist, eugenicist, and social darwinist (and sometimes racist). Realising that, I ditched ML and jumped on the technocratic communism team.

>The presiding judge ruled late Wednesday night that Ibtissam Lachgar was guilty of violating part of Morocco’s criminal code that outlaws offending the monarchy or Islam because of messages on a T-shirt she wore in a selfie posted online, her attorney Naïma El Guellaf told The Associated Press. Lachgar was charged with blasphemy and with disseminating the image online.
>One of the attorneys told AP they plan to appeal the conviction.
>“Not only is this verdict unjust, but it also threatens the freedom of speech and opinion,″ Hamid Sikouk of the Moroccan Association of Human Rights told the AP.

>Her defense team argued that the online post did not constitute an offense to Islam.
>“God is not only for Muslims, but also for Christians and Jews. I don’t see any offense to Islam in that publication,” lawyer El Guellaf told the court. ‘’I am Muslim myself, and I don’t feel offended by it.’'
>Another attorney, Souad Brahma, head of the Moroccan Association of Human Rights, warned of a backslide in human rights in the kingdom and said her client was speaking about religions in general, not Islam.
>The defense said wearing the T-shirt falls under freedom of expression, a constitutional right in Morocco, and called the charges unconstitutional.
>The shirt featured writing referring to the sexual identity of a deity and calling Islam fascist and misogynistic.
>Long known for provocative activism, Lachgar, 50, is a psychologist and co-founder of the Alternative Movement for Individuals Freedoms, known by its French acronym MALI. She is an outspoken and vocal defender of rights for women and LGBTQ communities in Morocco.
>Her arrest polarized public opinion across Morocco. Some see it as a valid response to provocation and others view it as a violation of democracy and freedom of speech. Though the country is politically moderate compared to others in the Middle East and North Africa, same-sex relations are illegal and certain kinds of speech can bring criminal charges.

I’m alarmed by all the posts and comments I see on social media — as well as in real life — which denigrate intelligence. I would expect this from the right, given that right-wingers and fascists despise smart people and make a whole show of privileging emotion over intelligent investigation, but it’s been showing up heavily on the left as well.
For instance, I’ve seen “leftists” say things like: “compassion is more important than intelligence, I’d rather be stupid and compassionate than smart and mean” (which conveniently neglects the fact that you can’t be compassionate without having intellect first). Or the usual: “I DON’T NEED THEORY, ALL I NEED IS FEELS” (which again, how do you understand the deeper meaning of your emotions without intellect?). This shit is getting so out-of-hand that I even see “leftists” glorifying metal retardation as something wholesome. Why? Since when did we become like the right?
Anyway, I’m curious as to know what exactly birthed this. Right-wingers hate intellectuals, professors, doctors, and whatnot. Leftists do not. Leftists always prioritize education, critical thinking, creativity, the ability to grasp abstract concepts, and intelligence. What good is it to prop up stupidity as a virtue?

During Karl Marx's life, Germany was the supreme industrial superpower of the world and Marx had no reason to believe that this would ever change. He assumed that Germany would continue to be the center of all technological and social progress in the world and that the rapid technological development of the Industrial Revolution would continue and German society would soon become a post-scarcity society where technology has eliminated all inequality and automated all labor and this society would naturally gravitate towards communism as things like class and money become irrelevant, and religion would also gradually fade from society as the end of the class struggle would theoretically do away with any need for religion's pacifying force to quell the impoverished masses. Obviously, none of these things happened and the events of the 20th century were probably utterly unlike anything Karl Marx could have anticipated, so the man effectively devoted much of his life to laying out the groundwork for a society that would never be. When it comes to Marx, what is really most relevant about his work for people in the real world today is the fundamental stuff about workers seizing the means of production; all of his theories about what kind of society would be built after the revolution are just pure academic conjecture from a 19th century German academic with a very 19th century German view of the world.

Fact checking facts about "russification" of Finland
1. Hurr durr Nicholas 2 wanted to turn everyone into Russians.
False: He wanted to liberate Finnish people from swedish aristocracy
>Nicholas II said that the core of Finland’s problem was that "the Swedes are striving to regain their former dominant position in Finland, misleading a broad section of the people. Against such gentlemen, decisive action had to be taken."
2. Hurr durr bobrikov was a dictator who suppressed free speech.
Misleading: He targeted swedes and their allies who were advocating for separatism and called Finnish and Russian people mongol barbarians and were closely associated with Germany which posed a security risk
>Of the 116 newspapers published between 1899–1905, 46 (39.7%) were temporarily suspended and 26 (22.4%) permanently shut down. The language distribution of all newspapers published was as follows: 78 Finnish-language (67.2%) and 38 Swedish-language (32.8%). Although most of the suspended papers were Finnish, the relative share of Swedish-language papers was greater. Of all Swedish-language papers during this period, 30% were permanently closed and 52.6% suspended temporarily, whereas the corresponding figures for Finnish-language papers were 19.2% and 33.3%. In the early phase of mass closures, attention was directed especially at Swedish-language papers, six of which were shut down in 1900, while only one Finnish-language paper was closed.
>In Kotka and Käkisalmi, the closures carried out by the governor-general strengthened the position of the Old Finnish press.
>Arbetaren and, outside Helsinki, Länsi-Suomen Työmies, Kansan Lehti, and Itä-Suomen Työmies did not receive a single warning from Bobrikov throughout the entire period, nor were they ever shut down. It appears that political censorship from Russia had little effect on the workers’ press.
3. Hurr durr muh political repression, muh exiles to Siberia
Misleading: The Finnish government couldn't carry out it's duties of protecting it's citizens and was notorious for hiding terrorists like Lenin and letting murderers go free. Bobrikov had to manually exile criminals because it was the only option left. For example a governor of Vyborg was shot and the assassin got only 3 years in prison and his co-conspirators got away with fine (https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matti_Reinikka)
4. Hurr durr Bobirkov tried to force everyone to speak Russian
False: He encouraged his subordinates learn Finnish and significantly improved the position of Finnish language. This myth propably refers to the 1900 manifesto which mandated use of Russian in governors office because after his letters were leaked and he was facing insubordination he brought in his own people who didn't know swedish but were legally required to speak it. This law was made for them and didn't affect anyone in any way. All senators had to do was hire a translator so that Bobrikov could understand them. All in all it was not that important in the context of all his actions. Before Bobrikov swedish was the only official language and he uplifted Finnish language by giving it an official status which is a much more important policy
>Swedish-speaking senators who resigned, were dismissed, or died were replaced by Suometar (pro-Finnish) men, with the result that the senate gradually became more Finnish. A key achievement was the 1902 Language Decree, which, after years of struggle, finally made Finnish formally equal to Swedish as an official language.
5. Hurr durr he was a dicktator
True: While it's true it's important to understand that not all dictatorships are bad and not all democracies are good. Bobrikov had to have signifcant powers in order to uproot swedish aristocracy which occupied Finland for over 700 years. Prior to Bobrikov only 30% could vote and the senate and diet was almost exclusively swedish and couldn't represent the majority of Finnish speakers in any way. Bobrikov used his powers to represent those who were excluded from the decision-making like finnish-speaking workers and peasants. Bobrikov used 2 million marks to acquire land for the landless population and the committee he established distributed 147,000 hectares of land to those without land. It also should be noted that Bobrikov wanted to democratize the system and expand voting rights after he had implemented his reforms but was murdered by a swedish aristocrat before he could do it.

If anyone ever asks what you think neoliberalism is to make you look like an idiot, remember that neoliberalism is just the new setup of regulation after the 70s crisis, all about restoring profitability. It is an economic theory that thinks markets magically self-regulate, meet everyone's needs, use resources perfectly and guarantee jobs for anyone who actually wants to work. That's it.

This strikes me as odd because non-interventionism is one of the most common-sense policies to have.

The Israeli company, which has drawn criticism for producing weaponry used in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, had held the lease since 2019, with a contract due to run until 2029. Elbit Systems provides around 85 percent of Israel’s drones and land-based military equipment and has played a major role in supplying Israel with weaponry for its genocide in Gaza.

Tear gas fired at thousands of protesters in Serbia demanding free elections and justice
Protesters in Novi Sad on Friday chanted “We want elections,” and “Vucic leave” as they vowed to defend the autonomy of the university. Shielded riot officers initially guarded some of the university buildings but reinforcements later arrived in anti-riot vehicles before marching toward the protesters. The city streets were engulfed in tear gas and smoke from stun grenades and flares as police chased the protesters away from the campus. The blitz police intervention reflects the increasingly tough response from Vucic to the protests. Vucic has refused to schedule a snap parliamentary vote requested by the demonstrators.

How the Ban on WhatsApp, Telegram Calls Affects Central Asian Migrants in Russia
WhatsApp and Telegram are not only channels to communicate with families but also vital for connecting with migrant communities across Russia, searching for work, and keeping abreast of legislative changes affecting migrants. Almaz, a Kyrgyz migrant from Batken and an active member of the Kyrgyz diaspora in Moscow, now finds it difficult to assist newcomers. “People back home know they can call me on WhatsApp to ask me to pick up their son at the airport, help him register, or answer questions about life in Russia. Now, this communication is slower and limited to texts,” he told The Diplomat via Telegram. “We will adapt, but right now it feels like an unnecessary complication for the sake of complication.”

>The more and more conscious reactionary role of modern capitalism, and the growing ideological revolt against the machine, and sense of antagonism to the development of technique, necessarily expresses itself on a wide front in the entire ideological field. A transformation in the dominant trends of capitalist ideology becomes more and more conspicuous. This transformation expresses itself in the growing revolt against science, against reason, against cultural development, against all the traditional philosophical liberal conceptions which were characteristic of ascendant capitalism; in favour of religion, idealistic illusions, denial of the validity of science, mysticism, spiritualism, multiplying forms of superstition, cults of the primitive, cults of violence, racial charlatanry ("blood" and "Aryan" nonsense) and all forms of obscurantism. This tendency was already visible from the outset of the imperialist epoch, and especially before the war. It has enormously increased in the post-war period. The relationship between science and the bourgeoisie has never in fact been an easy one. Only in the first revolutionary period of the bourgeoisie (in seventeenth-century England or in later eighteenth-century France) has there been real enthusiaism. In the nineteenth century, with the bourgeoisie in power, although the enormous profits to be won from the results of science led to universal official recognition, laudations and a somewhat stingy financial support, the suspicion was always present that the development of the scientific outlook might undermine the social foundations. Hence, the gigantic battles of the nineteeth century over each advance of science. The leaders of nineteenth-century bourgeois science were still warriors in the midst of a widely hostile social camp. Education was still in general jealously guarded on pre-scientific lines and under clerical control. But what is conspicuous about the present period is that though offensive against science is today led, no longer merely by professional reactionaries and clericalists, but above all by the majority of the more prominent, officially recognised and highly placed leaders of bourgeois science. The main bulk of officially distinguished, be-knighted, and decorated scientists of the bourgeoisie have openly joined the clerical camp. They proclaim with wearisome iteration the reconciliation of science and religion, the overthrow for the thousandth time the errors of materialism, the limitations of scientific knowledge, and the supremacy of "higher" aspects of life which cannot be approached along scientific lines. In a spate of lectures, essays, treatises and books, whose popular, vulgarising and often grossly unscientific character betrays their propagandist aim, they endeavour to utilise each new advance of research and discovery, not in order therefrom to to reach a more scientific understanding of reality, but in order to throw doubt on the whole basis of science, and on this ground to proclaim the vindication of the particular tribal gods of their locality.

A transformation in the dominant trends of capitalist ideology becomes more and more conspicuous. This transformation expresses itself in the growing revolt against science, against reason, against cultural development, against all the traditional philosophical liberal conceptions which were characteristic of ascendant capitalism; in favour of religion, idealistic illusions, denial of the validity of science, mysticism, spiritualism, multiplying forms of superstition, cults of the primitive, cults of violence, racial charlatanry ("blood" and "Aryan" nonsense) and all forms of obscurantism. This tendency was already visible from the outset of the imperialist epoch, and especially before the war. It has enormously increased in the post-war period. The relationship between science and the bourgeoisie has never in fact been an easy one. Only in the first revolutionary period of the bourgeoisie (in seventeenth-century England or in later eighteenth-century France) has there been real enthusiaism. In the nineteenth century, with the bourgeoisie in power, although the enormous profits to be won from the results of science led to universal official recognition, laudations and a somewhat stingy financial support, the suspicion was always present that the development of the scientific outlook might undermine the social foundations. Hence, the gigantic battles of the nineteeth century over each advance of science. The leaders of nineteenth-century bourgeois science were still warriors in the midst of a widely hostile social camp. Education was still in general jealously guarded on pre-scientific lines and under clerical control. But what is conspicuous about the present period is that though offensive against science is today led, no longer merely by professional reactionaries and clericalists, but above all by the majority of the more prominent, officially recognised and highly placed leaders of bourgeois science. The main bulk of officially distinguished, be-knighted, and decorated scientists of the bourgeoisie have openly joined the clerical camp. They proclaim with wearisome iteration the reconciliation of science and religion, the overthrow for the thousandth time the errors of materialism, the limitations of scientific knowledge, and the supremacy of "higher" aspects of life which cannot be approached along scientific lines. In a spate of lectures, essays, treatises and books, whose popular, vulgarising and often grossly unscientific character betrays their propagandist aim, they endeavour to utilise each new advance of research and discovery, not in order therefrom to to reach a more scientific understanding of reality, but in order to throw doubt on the whole basis of science, and on this ground to proclaim the vindication of the particular tribal gods of their locality.
Bro really cooked with this
R: 21 / I: 4
When you go online, and you see posts made by feminists hating on men, and you assume these feminists are representative of feminists rather than outliers, you are engaging in idealism.
When a hippie asks "why can't we all just get along and hug trees, man", the hippie is engaging in idealism, for he assumes that others are like him.
When Niko Bellic in GTA 4 is tricked by his cousin Roman to come to America, under the assumption that Roman's boastings of his "high-life" are in any way reflective of reality, and Niko is disappointed when he actually sees what this "high-life" looks like, that is idealism.
When I sound radical on the internet to imitate my parasocial friend Marx, when I warn the capitalism defenders that they will be destroyed in the revolution, but I live in a country where communist orgs are dead and workers are sedated, I am engaging in wishful thinking and empty threats, that is idealism.
When a child talks about Santa Claus, as if he were real, only because the child imagines him to be real, and never checks if he actually is, what is that called? You guessed it, idealism.
It is the curse of being able to produce thoughts and language without needing to check the real world. The whole field of psychology is made up of constructs that are *assumed* to be useful at helping people without scientific legitimacy. And the dumb shit trickles down, and it isn't even questioned. "Brain surgeons are high-functioning psychopaths", or some retarded sentence like that is something I'm sure you've heard at one point. Questions you would've asked if you were wiser: WHAT is a "psychopath"? WHERE did you obtain the information that brain surgeons are "psychopaths"?
And so it goes.
Idealism cannot be rooted out

Global Affordability Crisis
COVID supply shortages, stimulus, and work freezes are what drove the global housing crisis. However it's not clear what's causing the prices to stick, and even continue to get worse, or what's to be done. "Crisis is the mother of intervention" but there seems to be a relative dearth of actual policy directed at the problem. Have heard some of rezoning to curb McMansion construction (directing scarce resources to more economical construction efforts), and of course Singapore was able to weather the storm without cost escalations, these are the exception that proves the rule. If all we can find is such meager evidence of effort there must truly be little being done.>96,000 new affordable homes every day to house the estimated 3 billion people who will need access to adequate housing by 2030, UN-Habitat says.

The internet has been a mistake and communism has been set back some 50 years at least because of it. I don't think I'm exaggerating btw, it has given a way for millions of class consciousness proletarians to alienate themselves in an ever more privatized online space. Tbh, I'm glad that the same tendencies the privatization of the commons are ruining the world web. Once enshittification kills the online common, we will be forced to actually rely on our Gemeinseinschaeften to survive and not on the atomized collection of anons, consequentally organization will be easier to develop.

Everyday that goes by I get more and more why the French guillotine Marie-Antoinette… They're the exact same type of people.
Nothing has made more into a communist then the contempt I recieved because of my class.
Every time I've ever had to interact with a petit bourgeois, a PMC or any of those cunts, all I've ever got was pure contempt. they've got a gift to detect that I'm a working class man… And sure, they'll never tell you directly how inferior they see you, but you'll know, either they treat you like a kid, or they'll analyse everything you ever say or do to find something "problematic" in order to justify treating you like shit.Everyday that goes by I get more and more why the French guillotine Marie-Antoinette… They're the exact same type of people.
