Let me say a few things comrades.

Hotwheel's life began under conditions that reveal a great deal about the cruelty and indifference of our social order. He grew up in foster care, abandoned by his ill parents and lived with a severe congenital disability in a country that treats both poverty and disability as personal misfortunes rather than systemic failures. The fact that he had to carve out survival and meaning through the chaotic frontier of the internet says as much about the absence of collective care as it does about his determination. In a society organized around profit instead of human need, marginalized people often have to invent their own ladders.

At one point in his life, after missing a court date, he was effectively abandoned and left in conditions where he nearly froze to death in plain New York. That episode was not simply personal misfortune. It was another stark example of how the state treats disabled people as disposable, how kafkaesque bureaucratic systems punish noncompliance without regard for physical vulnerability, and how “equal treatment” in a formally neutral system can translate into life-threatening neglect. For disabled and poor people, the margin for error under our legal and social systems is razor thin. His near death in the cold was not an anomaly; it was a symptom.

He became an unlikely culture figure, not because institutions lifted him up, but because he built something that forced the world to notice him. That ascent, from social abandonment to global notoriety, reflects both resilience and the distorted pathways of recognition under digital capitalism.

From a socialist perspective, we also have to confront the material consequences of what he built. 8chan emerged from a libertarian fantasy: that “absolute free speech” detached from structure and accountability could somehow exist outside power. But no platform exists outside material conditions. Infrastructure is political. Ownership is political. The absence of moderation does not produce equality; it produces a vacuum that the most reactionary and violent forces can fill. 8chan became a space where extremism metastasized. That cannot be separated from his legacy.

Yet what makes Brennan’s story significant is that he did not remain frozen in that ideology.

Him playing it off seems like more of a "won't admit to weaknesss" thing. He doesn't want to respond to the hazing, neither would he not tell CRDL off, if they asked him to do the things he did under the threat of blackmail.

>When RNJR arrive at Shion village, Ren finds the hoofprint of the Nuck at the ruins of the town, implying that after Raven and her band left
So your assertion Raven made a conscious choice to let the region be destroyed, is based on the assumption that the Grimm, other raiders or even the inhabitants wouldn't be capable of leaving ruins? The gang's initial obliviousness to the Apathy implies a village overtaken by a wave of Grimm would definitely be left a ruin, without the need for any sort of outside intervention.

And you're not the creator or writer or animator for RWBY, you are an anon on the internet. Either way, strawman non-argument.

You're splitting hairs.
>muh blackmail
Happened way after constant hazing and bullying, therefore irrelevant.
>Their V1 dynamic
Consists of bickering and reconciliation as Weiss has a character arc. That's not a ship, that's building friendship.
>I can't imagine how they would tie that in on a literal camping trip.
It's not that hard; throw in some feminist or racial idpol with various character interactions and you get typical liberal tripe writing. Which they didn't do.
>based on the assumption that the Grimm, other raiders or even the inhabitants wouldn't be capable of leaving ruins?
1) Don't be obtuse, Raven and her band are the ONLY bandits in the story and narratively that's who we are supposed to think of, it doesn't make sense for there to be another random bandit group that is never even shown to have done this.
2) Raven confirms it when Qrow talks about the remains of Shion village and how she has the Spring Maiden in her camp based on the destruction seen. Qrow is familiar with the maiden powers and knows their capabilities.
3) The huntsman that dies in front of RNJR also confirms it was bandits, followed by Grimm.

>throw in some feminist or racial idpol with various character interactions and you get typical liberal tripe writing.
You're livid. The menagerie plot never brings up le feminism, except maybe Blake lowkey antagonizing Sun, which is never framed in any serious way. It's a simple case of Play stupid fantasy racism games / Win stupid libshit prizes.

>The Academies were founded
That's the point. They're supposed to be Oz's vehicle to further his plot. We know at the start of the story he has 3 maidens, 4 academies + staff, the military might of all of Atlas and at least 1 federal agent. What else?
>THEY'RE ALREADY DECENTRALIZED
From the wiki:
>Some gifted Huntsmen, such as Maria Calavera, can acquire their licenses by taking a licensing exam, forgoing the need to attend the academies.
>In some rare cases, the Headmasters of the academies can grant individuals their licenses without the need for a proper graduation or taking the licensing exam, as was the case with James Ironwood who granted Teams RWBY and JNR their licenses after arriving in Atlas.
Academies are explicitely stated to be the site of a Mandarin-esque examination system. I don't see how that could go wrong…

You're shifting goalposts.
>You're livid
No, I'm annoyed because you're being a liberal while calling the writers liberal.
>The menagerie plot never brings up le feminism
I never said it did. You said you "couldn't imagine" how the writers could make the plot liberal for RNJR, I provided a broad example of how, we see that in later Volumes. Again, stop putting words in my figurative mouth.
>which is never framed in any serious way.
She literally slaps him around 3 times, and not playfully but angrily. That's only 'not serious' because the writers bend over backwards to have characters simp for Blake.
>They're supposed to be Oz's vehicle to further his plot. We know at the start of the story he has 3 maidens, 4 academies + staff, the military might of all of Atlas and at least 1 federal agent.
You're just ignoring everything I'm saying on the details, up to and including the fact that he does not, in fact "have 3 maidens 4 academies and staff and Atlas' military" Ironwood straight up defies him in bringing the Atlesian Fleet to Vale and then uses The Breach to have the Valean council remove him from security operations for Vytal Festival. The only 'control' he has is in the sense that the other Headmasters protect the Vaults. And he didn't have 3 maidens; he had 1 and then 1/2 a maiden in Amber and 1 in reserve status with the literal nursing home resident Fria. Ozpin had no idea what Penny was until the last moment when it was too late.
>Academies are explicitely stated to be the site of a Mandarin-esque examination system.
Explicitly stated where? This is mentioned nowhere. An exam for a license is fairly normal to be state regulated, since you have to pass regulations for ability to get the license.

>Do you know what imperialism even is?
It is heavily implied Atlas and Vale both produce 21st century level tech (even though with the existence of dust you, could make the case they're technically at a lower stage of industrial development, like if steampunk was real). Despite most likely being a backwards peasant economy, Mistral still imports most of these products. I would honestly be surprised if there weren't imperial relations of productions. Also they have a literal Atlesian settler colony.

>Every successful feudal lord constantly expands and accumulates more and more resources and power
Yet ultimately the requirements for a landlord to "profit" from his manor were a lot looser than those of a modern family farm. Given Remnant, this is especially true for the amount of labor a capitalist farm or plantation would have to hire (recall the capitalist bias to minimize human labor). I'm asserting they wouldn't strictly need to profit, only "break even", before the land has been sufficiently developed.
>Cockshott also isn't talking about societies or groups that 'return'
Except he is explaining why it made for sense for former Roman territories to abolish their slave economy and limited commodity production in favour of manorialism. Historical necessity doesn't care for urban life or individual living standards. It conforms to the material conditions and how the currrent means of production may be most effectively employed.
>just warlordism
You're also ignoring the examples of semi-feudalism under despotic states. Both the Byzantine Empire and the later Ottoman Empire followed a despotic style of government, where the a significant part of the diet and wars were financed from the personal wealth of its rulers. At various points this necessitated the distribution of land as payment for their armies, and while Rome had had similar systems in place, they remained tied to the slave economy at the time. This is what i mean with material conditions: These states were advanced enough for manorialism to be productive, yet underdeveloped enough for family farms or commercial plantations to not be viable. This IS the case in Mistral; family farms get trounced by Grimm.

You posted a random video of a petty booj home owner being an asshole to an old man with sciatica. You then said things that were true, such as proles own no private property. But the video added nothing to that. Maybe it was intended to make me mad at petty bourgeois people in general because of the actions of the guy in the video. But I don't think the actions of that one unusually rude asshole mean anything, since his "victim" was probably from the same class as him anyway. Engels owned factories which he inherited from his father and continued exploiting proles at them in order to make money, which he then funneled into the communist movement, because even though he was a nice guy that wanted to end class society, he wasn't going to be a moralist retard and give up his property and live in poverty in order to prove how good he was, when it would be much smarter to use his inherited advantage of private property to attack private property as an institution through the political movement he was funding. Make sense? So a video of a petty booj home owner being an asshole to another petty booj home owner is about as meaningless as Engels being a nice guy. At the end of the day we fight to end class society and exploitation, regardless of whether the bourgeoisie are individually big meanies.

Internationalist Voice (Iranian) analysis of the protests (Jan. 4-19):

>Leftists and the Mujahedin claim that monarchists are attempting to influence the protests in favour of “Reza Pahlavi”[7] by adding audio to video clips, or that this role is being played by the Islamic bourgeoisie itself, which is confident in the harmlessness of the monarchist opposition. In other words, they argue that the promotion of monarchist demands within the protests is either meaningless or marginal. This claim is partly correct, but it does not capture the full reality.

PJAK Co-Chair on Iran Protests, Israel Ties, Pahlavi, and Regime Change
After the rapid geopolitical shifts in the region post-October 7th, 2023, the Middle East is undergoing significant change, with Iran and Kurdistan at its core. Protests demanding regime change have spread across Iran, especially in Kurdish areas, amidst communication blackouts and reports of mass arrests and killings.

In this in-depth interview, Rebaz Majeed, contributor to The Amargi, speaks with Amir Karimi, the Co-Chair of the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), from the mountains of Kurdistan on the Iran-Iraq border, a region permeated by PJAK guerrillas.

Drawing on the principles of the Kurdish struggle and the philosophy of Democratic Confederalism, Karimi argues that the current unrest is shaped by the disintegration of the rigid 20th-century nation-state system. He assesses the crisis of the Islamic Republic, discusses the crucial opportunity this presents for the Kurdish cause, and outlines the necessity of creating a democratic space in the future Iran led by the peoples' power.

In this video, we explore:

Are the events in the Middle East a threat to the Kurds or can they be an opportunity to advance the Kurdish cause?
PJAK's assessment of the remaining lifespan of the Islamic Republic of Iran's regime and what awaits Eastern Kurdistan.
What prompted the political parties of Eastern Kurdistan to issue a recent joint statement and agree on a common political framework?
Have Israel, America, and European countries recently contacted PJAK for political or diplomatic relations?
How PJAK can protect its independent decision-making from PKK influence despite being heavily affected by the theses of Abdullah Öcalan.
What is the geographical distribution of PJAK's organizational and guerrilla force in Iran, and why is their focus on "quality over quantity?"

How Will the US Attack Iran?

https://larrycjohnson.substack.com/p/how-will-the-us-attack-iran

>The threat of an imminent US attack on Iran has abated… for the moment at least. Donald Trump said that there will be at least one more round of talks between the US and Iran before a new attack would be launched. Iran is willing to do a deal that will guarantee it will not build a nuclear weapon and will likely make some concessions on the enrichment of uranium. However, Iran will not agree to eliminate or reduce its arsenal of ballistic missiles and drones, nor will it end support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. If Trump insists on Iran destroying its ballistic missiles and terminating support for the Palestinians and Shia in West Asia, there will be a war.

>But launching an attack on Iran poses many significant challenges… Some which may be insurmountable. Let’s start with the two most likely attack vectors: air-to-ground missiles launched by F-35s and Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from destroyers located in the Arabian Sea.

>Let’s start with the F-35s. The US Air Force flies the F-35A while the US Navy/Marine Corps flies the F-35C. The US Air Force (USAF) typically assigns 24 F-35A Lightning II aircraft to a standard operational fighter squadron. Squadrons are generally organized into six flights of four aircraft each, allowing for efficient maintenance, training, and deployment rotations. The US air force has between 20 and 25 active squadrons.

>As of mid-February 2026 (around February 12–13), the US Air Force (USAF) has a limited but growing number of F-35A Lightning II aircraft based or deploying in the Middle East (U.S. Central Command / CENTCOM area of responsibility). Recent deployments involve F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard’s 158th Fighter Wing (Burlington ANGB, Vermont). Reports indicate 12 F-35As in total heading toward (or already arrived) Jordan.

I've been extremely disillusioned with the so-called "left". Communism is not an extracurricular activity for university students and the revolution will not be led by people sitting around talking about how much they agree with each other and validating each other on how much of a very smart boy they are. As a dirt poor communist who takes the ideology seriously, what the fuck do I do when this is what I'm given to work with?

Hi comrades,

I propose we set up a fund, that leftypol can collectively put money into, and then we donate what we raised towards the Nuestra America Flotilla. Comrade Hasan Piker is also participating in the flotilla!

I know that for myself and many comrades Che and Fidel are heroes, it is important if we can help keep alive their legacies, and embrace the idea of the New Socialist Man (or the New Cuban Man) by showing comrades this humanity.

It is also important that the socialist exemplar that is Cuba which had sent many healthcare professional the world over during the Covid Pandemic, continues to show socialist governance as a model to many nations.

I'd advise sometime we set a similar thread for Palestine, I'd recommend 'The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East'.

It is likely best to be discussed here and on our matrix, where details finalised on the leftypol matrix and updates here too, so as to ensure comrades money can properly get sent across. If not, then independent donations can made, relevant links are down below.

So post in this thread to think how we can make this happen and join the matrix!

>i've never read it but you're asking for trouble to post about it on good terms here

What the fuck do you mean "asking for trouble"? It's a socialist work. On a board for socialists. Are we supposed to shit on it because some other people did? Are you afraid to tell people in real life of your politics because you're afraid they won't like them? Do you pretend to hate stuff that other people do?

I don't know where we fucking went to wrong as to make absolute fucking cowards like you who parrot every shitpost they see welcome on this board. You echo every criticism you notice on this website without any knowledge of its source content so you can fit in the /leftypol/ "le based anti-revisionist" mindset because you're certainly not going to get the satisfaction of community and comradery out of real life, you worthless fucking nobody.

I hate you. I hate everything you represent in this day and age on this board in which shitposting hiveminds have replaced actual dialectic. I hate that you are incapable of forming your own position. I hate that genuinely good works now have a bad reputation on this site because of fucking morons like you.

I'll be waiting for your response, but considering that 3 people disagree with you now, I guess you would be "asking for trouble", you fucking prick.

TADC just had a major drama on social media making even GLITCH put out an official statement, lol. Gooseworx said Pomni and Jax are the main characters of the show (duh?) and illiterate manchildren started sperging out because they don't understand how narratives work and started accusing Goose of "supporting abusers" or whatever. Truly insane stuff.

I don't know why it is so controversial to say that fandoms, fan culture, the concept of being a "fan" itself, etc. are inherently retarded. It's always the same shitty dynamics, just with varying degrees of intensity.

well for instance, the way you responded to my statement about taiwan, you're not add anything new or deeper as it wasn't a moral judgement. obviously, they do not have the same investment from china. That is not the point. but if you want to pick at that thread, yes, cuba who is largely isolated from the U.S. embargo, was never a frontier economy for the forces of production, even with USSR support. This means the material basis for socialism is limited, so the relations of production are not being challenged or updated by evolving forces. on the other hand, Taiwan is a leader in cutting edge semiconductors. Its productive forces, being embedded in the global production network, is precisely the point. innovations in one node still ripple through the network, altering the historical material conditions for others. i do not care that it gets major investment from the capitalist west. it is still shaping the material landscape of the world, and the material preconditions for systemic transformation worldwide by advancing core productive forces for 4th industrial revolution advancement with its semiconductors. Revolutionary potential is not solely about ideology or local state control. states like the USSR and Cuba, by not being within the global process shaped by capitalist development, the long arc of historical materialism, ended up dialectically dissolved or stagnant. cuba has been in survival mode and that is a strategy itself, to wait for the 4th industrial revolution tech from a country like China, who can scale, mass produce it and export it to other countries and rupture the relations of production. if it sticks around, cuba won't have to undergo another violent revolution the way many other countries will have to, as it preserved its ML superstructure locally.

Say what you will about his economics, but Sowell has some pretty interesting observations regarding social relations in America.

>>2700604
Haven't read that book but it's my understanding that Sowell is a conservative economist who asserts that black Americans and the white Scots-Irish descendants are basically the same people shaped by an honor culture. Personal reputation and respect matters and you don't take insults lying down. In Trump's base you can get this combination of suspicion about spreading "democracy" which is perceived as isolationaist but they will enthusiastically support military force if it's perceived as restoring our image as being badasses who you don't want to mess with. The Scots-Irish settled in buffer zones between the established settlements and Indian country in part because of their reputation for violence. This was also the social base for Andrew Jackson, and political historians have referred to the Jacksonian tradition in American politics. That contributes to supporting Isreal now because they're perceived as being in the same "Judeo-Christian" "tribe." I guess there was a lot of ideological work done to make that seem natural even if that's not how people would've thought about it in the 18th century.

On this book about the American Revolution, an interesting thing about it is that it reads like a social / political conflict within the same empire that radicalized as England tried to tighten political control. The Boston Massacre was a soccer hooligan riot that you'd see in peripheral armpit cities in the U.K. / Northern Ireland which got out of control basically. It wasn't initially about independence but that's how previous social conflicts within this society about rights of commoners got sublated up to another level.

THE “CHRISTIAN” COLONIALIST STATE CALLED ISRAEL

The Zionist settlers should listen to Sayyed and leave so called israel . Sayyed seems to know the root of the problem, and the solution to this problem; and he has warned the settlers to stop being part of this endeavor and to leave the place if they want security and safety, because there is no security and safety in the temporary state. Sayyed added they should do this as soon as possible because there will come a time when they will not be able to leave . Sayyed seems to bring up the fact that what is in store for israelis is what was in store for the Vietnamese agents to the US when the US decided to withdraw after it was defeated by the Viet Cong and left behind thousand of agents to their fate .
The truth is that the problem that very few are bringing up is that of the foundation of the usurping state, and how it was founded and who founded it, and the role of the Jews in all this .The owners of the project of israel are not the Jews , they are the colonialists, and the colonialists imposed it on the Jews who rejected it and refused it at first before some notorious Jews accepted it and embarked on it and made most Jews embark on it .
Many sources say -including Chomsky -that israel was conceived in the sick minds of European Christians. This is where the concept of israel took birth and developed. It is a Christian concept ; and this concept had to go through racism and anti Semitism and wait for the 2nd world war in order to materialize. The European colonialists- together with the Nazis- started this endeavor before some Jews signed up for it under colonial pressure . The Europeans segregated against the Jews , and the Nazis persecuted them, after which – and due to which- the colonialists sought to protect the Jews – so to speak- and shelter them by sending them to Palestine, a place that they could claim because of historical and religious reasons and where they could be protected . But this is only in appearance .The truth is that the israeli endeavor is but an updated version of the crusades of the medieval times; it is a Christian colonial endeavor that seeks to take possession of what the Christians think is theirs which is Jerusalem and what is considered to be the Holy Land where Jesus Christ lived and died on the cross. The Jews here are only a cover and a useful tool .
The israeli endeavor is a very old one , and it took centuries for it to become real. Thus, the US -aPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Finished What Do Bosses Do? by Stephen A. Marglin (1974), amazing piece arguing that the choice of technique is driven by power struggle. That type of argument would not be alien to Marx, but Marglin is leaning so much into it and making the case with such forcefulness and clarity he is outmarxing Marx.

<A quarter of those it surveyed in Australia said the "mateship" they feel with other Australians, as well as how they "lend a hand" in times of need, such as natural disasters, were a source of pride.
<One Australian woman responded that she was proud of mateship and community spirit: "Australians are known for their friendliness, resilience, and willingness to help each other, especially in tough times."

<Australia's social programs were also mentioned by those surveyed — particularly Medicare. One man responded: "Free universal health care would be my #1 point of pride in Australia."

<The report said people mentioned the contributions and "rich cultural history" of Australia's Indigenous people as well as "how welcoming the country is to immigrants and to all nationalities and religions".

<Australia's systems of governance and politics were also a source of national pride for 21 per cent of those surveyed.
<In fact, our political system was among the top three mentioned when people were asked about their source of pride.

<Australians, along with Spaniards, were also proud of their way of life, praising their "relaxed" nature of the lifestyle, and "being able to live a relatively carefree life".

The notion of a vanguard is not a notion of a political elite, though it can decay into one, but rather it is a notion of a highly developed strata of professional revolutionaries who guide the proletariat simply because of the fact that they had better access to political education. Sometimes this is described as "the most advanced section of the proletariat" but we often find not merely highly educated and motivated proletarians in the vanguard, but also plenty of bourgeois class traitors in (Engels), class traitors from the nobility (Felix Dzerzhinsky, Zhou Enlai) peasants (Lenin, Mao), the child of a plantation owner (Castro), and petty bourgeoisie (Marx himself, at least the young Marx, before his exile and relative poverty and England).

In the 19th century and early 20th century, this vanguard naturally contained many class traitors, since political education was rarely extended to the working class. Marx had maids, even in his apartment in London, and Lenin employed housekeepers even in his exile to a cabin in Siberia. This was a group of unusually educated professional revolutionaries who did so much reading, so much writing, so much public speaking, and attended so many meetings, that they did not have time to cook their own meals, do their own laundry, wash their own dishes, and could not have done so even if they wanted to. They needed help with basic domestic tasks from the very workers they wanted to liberate.

Today it is different. The worker can listen to the entire Marxist-Leninist canon as audiobooks while attending to the menial tasks which occupy daily life, both at work and at home. The worker can publish their thoughts to a site such as this easily, without needing access to a publishing company or a printing press. A worker can attend a party meeting in the form of a video call, while driving. This enables the worker to be every bit as involved in the theoretical half of the class struggle (reading theory, writing theory, speaking publicly, attending meetings) as they already were in the practical half of the class struggle (working, striking, fighting, dying). This calls into question whether the vanguard is the individual in a suit sitting in an office publishing theses against bourgeois rivals while servants bring tea and warm meals, or whether the vanguard is the individual who listens to Marx and Lenin while washing dishes.

Marx and Engels were never the vanguard, and as far as Lenin and the other key figures of the RSDLP who lived in exile, they were not even close to the whole vanguard. The real vanguard was sleeping on the floor of poor workers' homes while organizing study circles among factory workers. They were smuggling literature, setting up clandestine printing presses piece by piece, forging documents to get comrades across state lines or out of prison, etc. I agree broadly though that in the modern day we don't need saviors from a higher class, since literacy is widespread. Just from the more educated, literate, and politically lucky among the working class. All of the past revolutions can be thought of as nationalist first and communist second. The only one that doesn't fit this mold so well is the Russian revolution, but if you look from the point of view of the soldiers calling for peace before they're wiped out and peace is settled by terms set by Germany, and the bourgeoisie was calling for Germany to come save them from revolution, and even the bourgeoisie were attempting to kill the bourgeois revolution and were against a republic, it makes more sense that while the previously small and relatively junior bolsheviks did take the reins of the situation, the people who gave them their power, the soldiers, peasants, and workers, were not communist first.

The guy who got kicked in the head by a horse is the vanguard if he picks up a gun. You're conflating the ideological leadership with the vanguard as a whole.

Make a modular dumb phone from FPGAs (like TinyFPGA, Lattice iCE40, or something open source), an open RISC-V core (like VexRiscV), keypad and screen (non-touch), run it on a Linux kernel to send texts over the LoRa network and possibly do other things. No proprietary baseband or Wifi hardware. That's the only "safe" cell phone there is because cell networks are paywalled, proprietary (rely on baseband), and are heavily monitored and controlled by the FCC.

Ich komm mit der Mayasache wirklich nicht klar. In der Szene scheint es eine Alternativrealität zu geben, in welcher gar nichts vorgefallen war und Maya deshalb als politisch Gefangener angesehen wird, welcher willlürlich verhaftet wurde. So zumindest die Sprecher auf den Berlin-Demos. Sobald man den Versuch zum Diskurs startet und versehentlich "Hammerbande" sagt, ist man direkt ein Propagandaopfer. Jetzt frage ich mich natürlich: Stehe ich auf dem Schlauch, oder diese Leute?

The Zechariah 13:8-9 prophecy pretty much says most of them will be wiped out leaving behind a small faithful remnant of NT Jews. These converted Jews (non-rabbinic/synagogue) are turned to Christ and are saved. At the end of the tribulation when Jesus returns it even says it'll be hard for him to find faith on earth, because those tribulation saints who made it to the end would be scarce for how much was left by then. That's when the dead are resurrected to reign on the new earth and the tribulation saints will be raptured into heaven.

Have there been any studies done deconstructing the left-to-right ("Saul-to-Paul") political conversion narrative that the right-wing loves to throw around?

I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson. I'm obviously talking about Americans here but I'm sure you can name plenty of examples from other countries. What psychological factors cause someone to abandon leftism and fully embrace the right, and even worse, turn on their former comrades?

Is it simply the case that they upheld leftism as a dogma, so when their "god" died they found another god? Is it because they were always authoritarian assholes and embraced the right when the right gave them a better outlet for being authoritarian assholes? Was it because they found that the left was moving in a direction they didn't approve of, so they gradually became rightist? Or, using the narrative they themselves most often parrot, they felt "betrayed" by the left so in turn they betrayed the left?

Also, why do we rarely see any prominent right-wingers turning to the left?

Let's stop ignoring the elephant in the room.
The most important question is THE violence question.
How do we prevent or beat counter-revolutionary state violence? We all know the only reason revolutions fail is because of state violence and terrorism. The state will not only kill you, but also brutally torture you and your family to destroy the movement.

Let's be realistic, we can't militarily beat 60.000 death squads, eh sorry "special forces". Guerrilla warfare is useless too. They will kill the population that supports you and it's too exhausting for the fighters living in the jungle.
Only way we can win is through the political arena while at the same time preventing reactionary violence. This is the question that must be answered.

The part about seizing the banks is so real. For some reason the discourse on the left about the military in the US at least is always a back and forth of "it's a volunteer military, fuck them" and "it's poor minorities who just want a paycheck, they'll support us" but don't touch the concept of giving them a reason to defect.

Beyond banks, we could also promise them expropriated mansions, cars, etc. Tbh there's so many reactionaries to jail or kill we could do a very immediate and large stimulus program if we could functionally take cities (which only requires beating out the police). The same way reactionaries want to get rid of non-whites and give their shit to whitey. The same way ICE is stealing money and cars from people right now.

Also the fact that people tend to simply side with whoever has power. There's absolutely no reason for anyone who isn't a total masochist or idealistic moralist to side with communists right now because we offer no safety, all risk and thankless work. But if we were to achieve serious power, we could hope to sway careerists and opportunists to our side. This is what happened in the Russian revolution too. I think oftentimes the reality of the mechanics of the situations get overlooked for a more abstract vision. Past revolutions didn't immediately win over the military, it was after they had successful insurrections or a large enough force of their own. We should be focusing on "how do we win over the military?" and not "will they support us of their own free will right now or not?"

Now you are mostly correct, but the fact is that minorities from specific families are overrepresented. If your uncle was in the Army, that would seem like a valid life path and and he could help train you. And even within ethnic minorities, certain groups are vastly overrepresented in certain fields over others. For e,g Native Americans for various cultural reasons, are overrepresented in the US Army infantry, black Americans are overrepresented in support roles and White and Hispanic Americans tend to be more broadly represented across different branches.

I find it especially ironic that Islamists, who claim to be reactionaries yet are nothing but impotent conservatives: the loyal servants of of capital, have exacerbated the social ills of bourgeois society which they claimed to oppose.

Islamists in my country used to attack communists for "promoting prostitution" and the "community of women" (women owned in common) this was refuted by Marx as early as the Manifesto who pointed to the hypocrisy of this accusation, nevertheless what happened once Islamists captured power with the backing of multinational capital and the petty bourgeoisie? Public prostitution became prevalent and organized, an underground industry run by this new bourgeoisie. Religious cities became brothels that people cross oceans for, with the blessings of God and law - prostitution became holy "temporary" marriage, a market fueled by endless victims of poverty, austerity and war.

As for private prostitution (marriage) civil marriage was de facto abolished and with it any concessions offered to the woman, communists used to rally against the payment offered to the woman's family to consummate the marriage arguing that it is a form of commodification, this has now became the standard practice, cementing the woman's role as a commodity first, prompting her to rot until she is inevitably sold rather than take her own path in life.

The separation of genders have twisted the view of women to be mere objects of sexual gratification rather than real conscious beings. This view twisted further by pornagrahy; the consumption rates of which is amongst the highest in the world despite being banned and labelled taboo. Naturally the rates of harassment and rape have also increased despite bullying women into suppressing their every feminine character.

I suppose eventually it became convenient to lift any ostensible restrictions around this commodity, and so the age of marriage was lowered to 9 in order to save them from degeneracy of celibacy.

Now believe me when I say I don't shutter at the 'immorality and injustice' of any of this for the commodification of women and children is entirely within the logic of capitalism, in this extreme case it has only been elevated into a more public form under the guise of God, the only way to abolish it remains to be by abolishing all class distinctions.

3. the US funded osama bin laden and right wing freaks in afghanistan to overthrow the socialist government in kabul, who then asked 3 times (!) for soviet support before the soviets reluctantly acquiesced… then, the same fucking bourgeois real estate freak (Bin Laden) that the CIA funded to overthrow socialism in Afghanistan got about 20 dudes, most of them saudi, to do terror attacks in America, prompting America to invade… Afghanistan….

the only equation you should be making between the soviet "invasion" of Afghanistan prompted by Operation Cyclone and the US invasion of Afghanistan is that they were both America's fault.

The notion that the left has to take some moral high ground and renounce any kind of boldness, action or authority… that we must be soft, passive, meek and hyper-democratic is stupid.
If you believe that socialism/communism is right and fascism is wrong, then yes we should use what tools are available to use to further our success and crush our enemies before the crush us.
If the people are too stupid or have been too brainwashed to accept what is for their own good then give them dictatorship until they are freed from rightist indoctrination. It's better to force them into a better outcome than to give them the freedom to choose to suffer and decline.

>That's plainly incorrect though.
You have democracy, the freedoms that affords you and the rule of law. As soon as you start fucking around with any of those things by applying them differently to different people in different situations because of your political views, that *is* fascism.

Case in point, the JSO people gluing themselves to the roads (or planes even!) was and is considered illegal. However because it aligned with political agendas, they were given a huge amount of leeway and it took police hours to make simple arrests. Everyday people had to suffer as a result.


Now, if you remember, there were similar defiant protests by the same people to prevent migrants being moved into that Bibby Stockholm boat? Remember that? But because political agenda did not align with this, the bus driver basically just ran them over and nothing happened as a result. Let me find a vid:

also, PA was made into a terrorist organisation because of criminal damage to aircraft, and yet you have JSO doing similar things (probably the same bunch of people let's be honest) and it is deemed acceptable protest.
