>I‘m from Swaziland
You're not, that country is called Eswatini since almost a decade. Besides, Eswatini is an actual monarchy and their King supports Israel.

>>2588231
>I think the difference between you and me is that I wouldn't blindly defend my nation.
Yeah wou will blindly defend other nations cause of "anti-imperialism" lmao

>>2588687
So I can‘t be from the beautiful nation of Swaziland because I choose to call it Swaziland? I don‘t know man. Maybe I just like to cling to the past, similar to how you put on the DDR flag despite its collapse 30 years ago.

Now tell me the amount of arms and weapon systems Swaziland has sent to Israel.

>>2588687
The Communist Party still calls it Swaziland because it views the decree to change the name as illegitimate since it was done by the Monarchy.

Yeah among those with voting rights, non-voters are the biggest "party" in Germany so to speak. Just like pretty much with any modern liberal democracy.

>he says socialism requires a strong, rational state, he didn't argue for universal or compulsory party membership.

a perfect state has universal membership. its the perfect position for bureacratic ML states without dismantling their bureacracies (which will never happen)

>>2588614
>a perfect state has universal membership
Okay but that is your conjecture, not Peter Hacks. Universal party membership contradicts Hegel’s state theory because the state’s universality is mediated and rational, not totalizing.

>>2588624

you are correct.

But I also heard that in the former Eastern Bloc it was felt that improving the state into perfection was the path towards communism. In my view that seems totalitarian.

>>2588540
Yes but unironically. Nazism needs to be eradicated on a genetic level.

>>2588642

It is indeed totalitarian conceptually.

For a Proletarian Dictatorship to truly triumph, it must come to encompass all of society; Nothing must be outside it or against it.

And it is by this process, as OP hinted at, that the state itself, defined in the Marxist sense as the instrument of class power itself can wither away.

The yet harder pill to swallow is that any totalitarian state almost also itself come to resemble something close to Proletarian Dictatorship. That is to say class collaborationism will never actually achieve what the corporatists say they want it to achieve (comprehensive social harmony analogous to a healthy body); Only something resembling the Dictatorship of the Proletariat can ever hope to lead to anything close to such an outcome.

red shambala is a psyop by white american petit-bourgeois theorley MList dengoid deprogramslop enjoyers who see communism as a mere aesthetic choice and who do not care in the slightest for materialism or marxist doctrine.
it would be just as easy to make such edits featuring obscure, edgy, and esoteric looking symbols and concepts of a materialist, scientific, and marxist nature.
there's lots of crazy stuff about space, quantum physics, even fricking posadist aliens would be more realistic and accurate than buddhist tibetan serfdom ass lamaslop with a sickle poorly shopped rotating around it.

The original meme that Red Shambhala parodies is in reference to "Agartha", which I think is supposed to be this magical aryan kingdom or something inside a hollow earth, hence the song (Do you come from a land) Down Under

Because you would be deluding yourself, which is worse than “nothing”.

Not necessarily.

Not that simple, at all.

You mean a stateless world.

>Please educate us on how to get people out there then


First lesson: Stop deluding yourself with activities such as “handing out pamplets”. The proletariat currently requires actual material assistance in movement building, not more education they can’t actually put into practice.

Second lesson: American is a decaying car centric dystopian hellhole police state that is undergoing ever increasing levels of enshittification and financialization. The many cities and towns of America are not designed for the proletarian majority, but rather for capital and capitalist decadence. Think Dubai for an alternate example.

Third lesson: Any efforts to organize the proletariat will be met with an uphill battle against a system that has long locked down the mobility of its “citizens”. It has turned the very landscape into a weapon against the proletariat, a weapon that has only grown more damaging with every year.

Fourth lesson: If one wishes to have any chance at succeeding, they must become self sufficient against the capitalist fuel trade and expand that self sufficiency to the rest of the proletariat. So long as the capitalists dominate it without sufficient competition, your mobility and your opportunities in the American landscape will be greatly limited. Whether this self sufficiency comes in the form of solar cars or socialized fuel stations, I do not know. But what I do know is that it is mandatory step any American communist must take.

Fifth lesson: You will also need to turn these bourgeois weaponized road against the bourgeois forces themselves. This means cutting their support networks. This means isolating them from the proletariat while the proletariat rebuilds their circles. This means ruling the roads while they cower in their shitty little dens. It need not be spoken on how easy a task this will be.
>and what parties to join
Forget about joining a party. The FBI and the CIA were too thorough with their work. Trust none of them.

For Sudan, see if you can get a hold of the Sudanese Communist Party. They desperately need funds given the catastrophic circumstances in the country.

Try looking at solidnet for contact info. Alternatively, try getting a hold someone from the KKE that might be able to act as liaison (They definitely have foreign based cells in New York for example).

Starbucks workers’ strike approaches 4th week
A nationwide strike by Starbucks workers is approaching the start of its fourth week on Wednesday. The strike, which began on November 13 with walkouts at 65 stores across more than 20 cities, expanded to 120 stores on Black Friday. Workers are demanding higher wages, stable schedules, an end to understaffing and action on hundreds of unfair labor practice charges stemming from years of union busting.

Trump says AI executive order targeting state laws coming this week
The executive order isn't likely to try to block state AI laws outright. Instead, it's expected to attempt to gut state AI laws by launching legal challenges and conditioning federal grants on compliance. This approach has far less teeth than legislation — and will certainly face legal challenges.

Florida governor declares Muslim civil rights group a terrorist organization
The order instructs Florida agencies to prevent the two groups and those who have provided them material support from receiving contracts, employment and funds from a state executive or cabinet agency. In an emailed statement, CAIR and its Florida chapter said the organization plans to sue DeSantis in response to what it called an “unconstitutional” and “defamatory” proclamation.

When the Feds Come to Your City: Standing Up to ICE
Are masked agents showing up in your town to kidnap your neighbors? Want to do your part to protect each other, but don’t know where to start? We hope this guide will help you prepare to stand up to federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as they attempt to abduct people from your community. The guide is not exhaustive—it could not be—but it is based on the knowledge that an array of people have accumulated in Chicago over the past several months during “Operation Midway Blitz.” As federal agents expand their assaults on communities across the country, it is crucial to share and build on these practices. Because the mercenaries who work for ICE and other federal agencies are constantly updating their strategies in response to popular resistance, a guide like this is chiefly useful for getting started thinking about how to resist. We encourage you to draw on this guide for ideas while adapting them to the local context that you and your neighbors know best.

42 Years of the EZLN, “One of the Hearts of the Anti-capitalist Movement”
The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) recently celebrated its 42nd anniversary, marking its founding on November 17th, 1983, when a group established a camp in the Lacandon Jungle to begin the first stage of organizing the movement in indigenous communities of Chiapas. This silent movement burst onto the world stage a little over a decade later when it took up arms on January 1st, 1994, to demonstrate its radical opposition to the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed by Canada, the United States, and Mexico, then governed by Carlos Salinas de Gortari, the political emblem of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Since then, the EZLN has shaken the global political scene by proposing an ideology that, contrary to the long tradition of Latin American guerrilla organizations, did not aim to seize control of the state apparatus but—in the words of the intellectual John Holloway, who masterfully defined it in a resounding phrase—”to change the world withouPost too long.

South Korean president considers an apology to North Korea over past leafletting and drone use
OUTH KOREAN President Lee Jae Myung said today that he’s weighing up a possible apology to North Korea over suspicions that his ousted right-wing predecessor intentionally sought to raise military tensions in the build up to his brief martial law declaration in December 2024.

Speaking to reporters on the first anniversary of former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s ill-fated power grab, Mr Lee stressed his desire to repair ties with North Korea.

A special prosecutor charged Mr Yoon and two of his top defence officials last month over allegations that he ordered drone flights over North Korea to stoke tensions.

South Korean media also reported on Monday that South Korea’s military under Mr Yoon’s presidency flew balloons carrying propaganda leaflets across the border.

Despite possible domestic political repercussions, Mr Lee insists that he personally wishes to apologise to North Korea.

He said: “I do think we need to apologise, but I haven’t been able to say so because I worry it could be used to smear (me) as pro-North Korean or spark political ideological battles” in South Korea.

Since taking office in June, President Lee has taken steps to ease inter-Korean tensions, including turning off front-line loudspeakers that blared K-pop and world news and banning activists from flying balloons carrying propaganda leaflets across the border.

These are just symbolic gestures. The military drills remain in place, their constitution stipulates the Southern government is the sole legitimate one that must absorb the whole peninsula, etc.
