>know your rights
Bro they are literally masked thugs who hope out of unmarked vans, grab you, ziptie you, and haul you off to concentration camps that aren't even connected to a federal database. "Knowing your rights" won't do shit to stop these fucking pigs and Mamdani knows this very well. What a scumbag.

>>2587873
Zohran's campaign used the same agency as platner and fetterman btw. "Fight Agency" specializes in fake "outsider" candidates

>>2587856
The only way to combat ICE is for community members to literally forcibly prevent them from arresting/kidnapping people. It has successfully been done several times now because ICE thugs, in addition to being brutish pigs, are also cowards and don't like to get into actual confrontation.

If Mamdani had a genuine socialist bone in his body he would advocate for this form of resistance.

"B-but that's illegal! He's a p-p-public official!"

Who cares? Is he a socialist or not? Eugene Debs was willing to be imprisoned for his beliefs. Something tells me Mamdani is made of much weaker stuff.

>Trump genuinely has Alzheimer's.
IDK I saw some article blaming the hand bruise on that sort of specific medication. But really, any IV would do that if you have to get stabbed frequently.

They should get him a long term IV access. A tube from the arm, inside a vein, into the heart(that I know of from chemo patients). I can imagine Trump being a diva about these things and absolutely refusing to get a long term IV, for whatever it is that he's getting treatment for. You can't tan, it needs to be protected in the shower(and from everything else), no pool and depending on another person to help with hooking/injecting things into it and maintaining the thing relatively sterile. It is discrete under a suit I suppose.

It's a whole thing and, psychologically, it means accepting the reality of whatever ails one, is damn serious and long term. But he will have to, or he'll run out of usable veins, eventually and painfully along the way.

But then again, Biden was (likely) powering through presidency with terminal cancer and presumably taking unholy amounts of drugs to keep him presentable through the extenuating effect of (chemo/radio)therapy. The man must have been a walking pharmacy at the best times and totally destroyed all the rest. So I can also imagine Trump's presidency hiding some crippling condition like Alzheimer's yeah.

No. Kautsky was correct in identifying that a cartel of the wealthiest nations (the West) ruling over the rest of the world was a seeming path for them to avoid major war and stagnation. He was wrong in thinking it could be stable.

But it is absolutely what was attempted after the collapse of the USSR. It failed in only twenty years because the West didn’t understand China or Russia and was deluded by the power of GDP vs industrial capability.

If China was to be taken over tomorrow by Gusanos I’m sure the Western hegemony could last many decades more before being doomed by demographic decline and the growth of Africa.

>>2587813
Iran is in no position to do anything but “cuck” atm unless Beijing sends them nukes and stealth cruise missiles. The water crisis in Tehran alone is extremely dangerous to the government. It was poor harvests that created the conditions for the Syrian civil war.

>>2587316
Yeah, because to do something about it would be revolutionary. Most countries won't let you run candidates in elections, sit in the parliament much less in the government unless you denounce any intentions to change anything in your program.

>Europoor

It's becoming increasingly clear that the majority of proles in Europe and North America are being brainwashed by their phones into believing immigration is the biggest issue in their countries. I have largely ignored this issue, as I don't really think it matters but then, last night, there was a lumpen riot in Dublin against an IPAS centre in which a foreign national who had been denied asylum and was told to "self-deport" had apparantly raped a 10 year old girl who was under state care. I usually don't believe a lot of the lies told about "migrants" online but this case makes me feel particularly uncomfortable.

It was a clear failure from the neoliberal Irish government and it's institutions that allowed something like this to happen. Why wasn't this man deported immediately after being denied asylum? Too expensive, apparently. Why was this man allowed to be in a situation where he could sexually abuse a child? Why is this man in my country in the first place? Ofc, the Free State institutions are keeping silent on it, pissing off people even more.

So, how do leftists feel about immigration and the current asylum process? Obviously, I understand this wouldn't be an issue if western corps weren't raping the third world but I also think there is a discussion to be had. Are open borders in the current world really working? Would they work post-capitalism? How do you feel about immigration, positively or negatively?

The famine occurred because Mugabe distributed the land to his own cadre of corrupt officers and friends who didn't know how to run a farm not because they didn't have anyone who couldn't manage them. I mean the whites had Zimbabwean farmhands and assistants who helped them manage the farm that they provided training and skills too.

The Global Nuclear War will not just effect the Imperial Core, but will also severely affect the Semi-Periphery and Periphery as well, with the U$, Britain, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, the Zionist State, and sadly the DPRK, all guaranteed to be heavily Nuked by each other, but the good news is that if you are not in or near a First Strike target (ie. ICBM base, Bomber Base, Ballistic Missile Submarine Base, etc.) or Second Strike target (ie. Major Cities) you will probably be fine, as Nuclear Winter is Pseudo-Scientific Bourgeois Propaganda created by Reagan and Gorbachev in the 1980s and the Fallout is not that dangerous as long as you seal your windows and doors, and its not like this would just happen without warning, as it would be the culmination of a High-Intensity Conventional World War III between the U$ and China, so if you live near any of the obvious targets, you will probably have plenty of time to flee to safer areas (or at least build a makeshift bunker and/or try to hide in your basement), so the death toll could be a lot lower then people think, also Global Nuclear War is not the only Shining Path to Communism, as if the U$ does not go Fascist (ie. Trump dose not use the Insurrection Act to permanently suspend Bourgeois Liberal Democracy), their is also the much better Social Democratic/UBI/4th Industrial Revolution/AI/Multipolar Shining Path to Communism, in which a Social Democratic Imperial Core where UBI allows for Income to be divorced from employment after the 4th Industrial Revolution automates most of the workforce combined with the Hyper-Rationalization of the Superstructure through the legalization of all Victimless Crimes like Abortion, Birth Control, Pornography, Sex Work/Prostitution, LGBTQIA+, Drug use, Gun ownership, etc. and a Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy that accepts Multipolarity, unites with a Maoist Periphery/Semi-Periphery, where Maoist PPWs swept away all Bourgeois Comprador and Imperialist governments after the 4th Industrial Revolution Automated Global Supply Chains and Reshored them back to the Imperial Core and the Green Energy Revolution shut down all Oil/Gas production worldwide, thus collapsing the economies of all Sweatshop countries and Petrostates, to create a Global USSR that will place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍Post too long.

So this video has been going viral recently and it’s made me ask: will the demand to designate doctors and nurses as “cops” and the move to abolish doctors, nurses, and hospitals as we know it be the next bullshit wedge issue to divide an already fragile left?

Basically, she uses Silvia Federici and Michel Foucault to argue that doctors are oppressive, that hospitals are prisons, and that we should seek to go back to a time when witches and doulas were the main providers of healthcare through giving herbal medicines like mugwort and tree bark. She also claims doctors gatekeeper medical knowledge and every individual should take care of their own health without relying on professionals. She also says we need to be more “death positive” and just accept death instead of using medical treatments of offset it.

Personally, I find these types of sentiments dangerous, especially given how we just came out of a pandemic that killed at least 10 million people worldwide and many Americans die due to lack of healthcare access. Your thoughts? Are doctors and nurses the equivalent to cops,

My understanding is, they like to say that the vast majority of human diseases in the world today are caused by capitalism, and by abolishing capitalism we wouldn't have to worry about cancers, kidney diseases, diabetes, lupus, heart diseases, tuberculosis, HIV, measles, smallpox, chickenpox, rabies, tetanus, covid, etc. The problem is, moving towards socialism isn't going to cause those illnesses to magically disappear.

The Kurdish nationalist movement’s anti-communism

>By Cansu Oba


>A recent article published by one of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s media outlets has provided an opportunity to revisit certain aspects of the movement’s class character and ideological foundations.

>In reality, this stance is not new. Throughout Abdullah Öcalan’s years in prison, he has repeatedly produced statements and writings that target socialist experiences and the founders of scientific socialism. These have for some time been highlighted in the movement’s own media.


>What makes the current moment significant is that Öcalan is one of the central actors in an ongoing political process in Turkey. The “peace process”—carried out with the open support of the leader of the fascist party and through direct contact between Öcalan, a parliamentary commission, and state officials—has transformed the political environment. At the same time, a former co-chair and current MP of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s party, the DEM Party, declared that the party now effectively serves as the country’s main opposition. All of this signals that the emerging bourgeois political landscape provides fertile ground for the resonance between the Kurdish nationalist movement’s attacks on socialism and the bourgeois politics’ more traditional forms of anti-communism.


>Yet the PKK was never, in reality, a genuinely Marxist-Leninist organization. Founded in the late 1970s, a period in which the left dominated Turkey’s political and social arena, the PKK employed Marxist-Leninist terminology and drew from these values, but it was always, at its core, a national movement.


>Claims that Öcalan has “surpassed Marxism”—when considered together with his recent statement that he has been “waiting 50 years to be understood”—suggest a line of ideological continuity rather than a merely conjunctural shift.


>The Kurdish nationalist movement, now firmly situated somewhere between social democracy and nationalism within Turkey’s political landscape, has strengthened ties with various factions of the bourgeoisie, including some of Turkey’s most prominent capitalist families. Meanwhile, its distance from the republic’s founding prin

Third option: You're confusing TKP and TKP-ML/TİKKO.

>>2586843
TKP is more anarchist in its analysis than anarchists who encouraged dying for a shitty kurdish nationalist project, fuck Ocalan and fuck Bookchin they are sellouts to America and the turkish backed ISIS "free syrian army"

>>2587830
Rojava is an american project falsely advertised as "fighting for the freedom of the kurds against ISIS" the same ISIS financed by america, in reality it served to destabilize syria and lead to turkish backed ex-isis "free syrian army" carrying out a coup against Bashar, rojava will now be crushed by the new syrian ISIS-turkish government because it is no longer useful to america, rojava dug its own grave and never could have worked, it was a liberal project that fooled many young men into dying for nothing, autonomism is bullshit, autonomist movements are bullshit, there can be no "its not anarchism but its still libertarian we can learn from it n shiet" its all a farce. Internationalism doesn't mean volunteering to go to a meat grinder and do fucking compromises with mixed factions like the shit IFB was. Rojava's entire existence was backed by fucking mercs. Its going down or being integrated into TurkoNATOISIS-Syria, there is no other outcome for it. "Democratic confederalism" was just a liberal lie.

Greatest and most brutal Anarchist-Communist critique of Rojava and all its groups involved:
