these arguments around historical/tribal slavery vs. chattel slavery/colonialism/neocolonialism are all played out now: capitalism is global and the periphery suffers the effects of capitalism.

consider burrundi. poorest country on earth. mostly rural and tribal with subsistence and export farming. just because burrundi doesn't have a capitalist class doesn't mean that capitalism hasn't shown up in burrundi: it's there plundering their fish and ripping them off for their produce because they're landlocked.

they can still resist capitalism without needing capitalists to move there and develop the place: for example, collectively building a cannery to preserve produce to provide for their domestic population and to remove foreign middlemen that buy their goods at a discount because said goods have to be transported by road.

it's not even about superior tech: at this point you could do dual power for fuck all with tech from the 8s. there are chinese companies flatpacking industrial agricultural plant that would lift a remote village out of poverty for under 200k, chuck in a little more for a 4x4 ute.

why the fuck do western lefties spend their time cooking curries from dumpster food, and building adobe huts under overpasses for smackheads that are just kicked over by coppers as soon as the city notices? 100k is no money at all for anyone smart/dedicated to get through stodgy old theory books.

>>2402800
Okay

>>2402728
Except Communism needs prior conditions of development to be achieved; it’s not like you could go to the Garden of Eden and leave a copy of Capital around and suddenly we’d live in Communism. So if we accept the premise that invading an annexing other nations is a good thing as long as it progresses their level of development and eliminates the evils of prior forms of development, then that’d make Euro-Imperialism “good” because where European armies went they brought, for better or worse, liberalism and capitalism with them.

>>2402731
They invaded a sovereign nation and annexed it. That nation is now subject to Chinese laws, pays taxes for the maintenance of the Chinese state, and there are cases to be made that its being culturally assimilated by China.

Regardless of what you want to call it, pretending there’s some stark difference between conquering other nations when Europe does it vs China is silly.

>>2402735
Funny enough the movie on Dahomey painting them as fighting against European slavers gave us this gem.

>”The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. It is the source and glory of their wealth… the mother lulls her child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery.”
-King Ghezo of Dahomey, in a letter to King George of England begging him not to abolish slavery.
(The movie would later portray Dahomey as banning slavery before any European nation and would make one of Ghezo’s descendants an anti slavery activist when he was a prolific slave trader himself)

>Remove your other anti-racist aims to serve the narrow ethnic self-interest of native Americans like Tuck!
Honestly was surprised she admitted this much and liberals somehow overlooked it. Unfortunately she still obfuscates it by talking about slavery but doesn't say directly what she means: "Blacks need to get out of America!" Most liberals probably just blank over this part.
>unsettling
As a side note she is purposefully overusing this word as a lame wordplay on "settling." Later in the essay she actually points that out by writing "unsettling/deoccupying land." Very annoying.

Activist Georges Abdallah via Al-Mayadeen: The Arab street movement sparks the struggle
Hours before his expected release, Lebanese activist George Ibrahim Abdallah, who has been imprisoned in France for 41 years, sent a special message to Al-Mayadeen TV , in which he affirmed that he was "calm, reassured, and a fighter until his last breath." He noted that he did not feel threatened and that his condition was "like that of any activist in our country."

In the message broadcast by Al Mayadeen , Abdullah emphasized the importance of the Arab popular movement, saying, "When the Arab street mobilizes, we will witness an explosion of struggle." He expressed his regret that "the Arab people are not rising up as they should, and are not taking action sufficiently."
In this context, he called on "citizens to mobilize and take action," warning against remaining silent or complicit.
The activist, Abdullah, also paid tribute to everyone who stood by him and supported his struggle, emphasizing that this support gave him momentum for the future, a reference to the high morale he maintains despite the four decades he spent in captivity.
In his analysis of the international context, Abdullah considered that "capitalism is in decline, and therefore wars are being waged," describing a global phase marked by increasing tensions and fabricated crises.

For her part, the activist's lawyer told Al-Mayadeen , "George Abdallah keeps up with all the events and has a great deal of energy and remarkable activity." She stressed the need for us to "rally behind his struggle, because his cause does not concern him alone, but rather expresses the conscience of the nation in resisting colonialism and hegemony."
Earlier, Abdullah praised the "growing mobilization" among his supporters, asserting that it was the primary reason the French judiciary agreed to his release.

<Who is George Ibrahim Abdallah?
>France's longest-serving political prisoner
Abdullah is one of Europe's longest-serving political prisoners . He was arrested in 1984 in Lyon, France, on charges of possessing a forged Algerian passport, after being pursued by the Israeli Mossad.
In 1978, Abdullah joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), co-founded the Lebanese Revolutionary Armed Forces (LAF) in 1981, and was later accused of participating in the Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

tbh feminism has a history of not doing a great job representing anyone except for the privileged. even the first wave of feminism largely represented the voices of upper middle class white women. second one didn’t do great either which lead a black woman refer to herself as a womanist instead of feminist. also modern day radical feminism is literally just conservative feminism larping as a “leftist” movement when it’s one of those movements that got ruined by chronically online radlibs or moralfags or whatever during the pandemic and 2018 tumblr ban

I mean feminism originated as a branch of pre-Marxian utopian socialism basically.

Really you have:

Liberalism ->
Utopian Socialism ->
Syndicalism, Anarchism, Feminism and Marxism split here ->
a little while later you have the Social Democrats split off from the Communists

Anyhow Charles Fourier is fun.

Here is a message to you, OP, you retarded false flaggot:

I think this perfectly explains the state at which America is at. The most powerful man in American history isn't the president, the vice president, or hell, even the Congress as an entity.
No, it's the CEOs of two credit card companies.
These two men are able to control what you see and hear through using their sheer power and get massive companies to grovel at their feet. If individuals and companies don't comply with their wishes, they can no longer get paid and become destitute. Think it's unfair? Tough shit, good luck suing someone when you're dirt fucking poor.
This is hardly unusual, by the way. If the government ever pisses off Elon Musk enough he could completely decimate the US's defenses/military in an afternoon.
This is the end product of deregulation and libertarianism. Instead of living under the boot of the government, you live under the boot of the corporation, more specifically the CEO. The bougie of the bougies. It's like government oppression except unlike governments, there are no corporations with publicly elected leadership.
This is the world you have created. You kept electing these neocon ghouls because they got you so damn distracted with the culture war. You were so blind you didn't see them shackling you.

Oh, i'm surprised nobody mentioned it but apparently he was a delegate for ANEB, Marxist National Association of Students of Burkina Faso during his time in university.

Burkina "The BBC" Traore is historically progressive. He WILL proletarianize the peasantoids

The fact that he and the other members of the AES are kicking out French colonialists and nationalising their businesses while collaborating with local tribal militias should at least be enough to give him critical support at the very least.

A mountanois landlocked land that follows a national flavor of Dengism. A great history to always talk about with the Red Prince and the movement to expell the lapdogs of imperialism.
Frankly I have only seen documentaries about the chinese trains and the mountanois peoples. The most exciting part was that one of the elders of the family was a soldier and for that he went to the capital and had more opportunities, returning to help the village

Sex trafficking in Laos is human trafficking for sexual exploitation and slavery that occurs in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Laos is primarily an origin country for sexually trafficked persons.[1][2]

Sex trafficking victims in the country are from all ethnic groups in Laos and foreigners. Laos citizens, primarily women and girls, have been sex trafficked into other countries in Asia and different continents.[1] They are threatened[3] and forced into prostitution, marriages, and or pregnancies.[4][5] Sex trafficked victims experience physical and psychological trauma.[3] They contract sexually transmitted diseases from rapes,[6] and abuse and malnutrition are prevalent.[6] Some women and girls are tortured and or murdered.[4]

Sex trafficking and exploitation is pervasive throughout all levels of Laos society. Male and female perpetrators in Laos come from diverse backgrounds. A number of traffickers are members of or facilitated by gangs.[4]

The extent of sex trafficking in Laos is unknown because of the lack of data, the concealed nature of sex trafficking crimes, and other factors. Anti-sex trafficking efforts have been hindered by corruption, indifference, border management problems, and more

FEMA chief would report directly to US president under new bill
The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency would report directly to the U.S. president instead of the Homeland Security secretary, under a bipartisan bill announced in the House of Representatives on Thursday. The bill also would allow FEMA to reimburse states for the cost of sheltering emergency personnel after natural disasters.

Black lung disease resurges as Trump and coal bosses sacrifice miners for profit and war
Trump has promised to roll back or completely abolish government regulations over the coal industry. This includes gutting the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), established in 1971 and tasked with developing standards and procedures to improve workplace safety. In April, Trump fired 850 of NIOSH’s 1,000 employees, including hundreds at its Morgantown, West Virginia, office, the only one in the country where miners can be tested for black lung and to certify that they are eligible for black lung benefits.

Filipino Diaspora activists denounce Marcos White House visit
Filipino diaspora activists staged protests outside of the White House each day of Filipino President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s visit with US President Donald Trump. Marcos Jr. arrived in Washington, DC on July 20. On the final day of Marcos’ visit on July 22, Trump announced a framework agreement setting tariffs on Philippine exports to the U.S. at 19%, which is a reduction from the 20% tariffs Trump had originally threatened, while US goods would enter the Philippines tariff-free.

Short summary of the current situation of struggles in the UK
1) What major strike movements have there been in the country where you live, in the last 12 months?
There were very few outstanding strikes, primarily smaller disputes for regrading low paid workers within the NHS, such as the 100 day strike of phlebotomists in Gloucester. The main focus for the trade union movement is the bin workers strike in Birmingham against pay cuts, which has been going on since March 2025. There have been several ‘mass pickets’, which mobilised trade union activists and left groups from around the country. The strike becomes a political issue between the left-wing trade union movement and the governing Labour Party, e.g. the striking union Unite has suspended the membership of Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayners. The union also voted to “re-examine its relationship” with Labour over the issue, in a sign of growing divide between the union and the party who have historically worked hand-in-hand. The actual strength of the strike is not talked about much, there have been short-term occupations of scabbing temp agencies, but these actions seemed symbolic. A similar bin strike is happening in Sheffield, where Unite represents a third of the workforce.

Assembly.org.ua : From Los Angeles to Ukraine: war prolongation brings new horizons for social struggle
With the anarchist movement seemingly completely lost interest in the situation in Ukraine, the May impasse in peace talks has become a catalyst for new things not seen since last year. Following the lull and apathy described in our interview, presented on the Balkan Anarchist Bookfair 2025, a new wave of public unrest is beginning in the country. Since the evening of July 22, for the first time since 2022, political protests involving thousands of people are taking place in Kiev and a number of regional centers. The reason is the adopted law No. 12414 on curtailing the powers of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, which are being transferred from the control of Western embassies to the subordination of the Office of the Prosecutor General as oPost too long.
