The gunman was an ex-ISIS Iraqi who escaped from the SDF's al-Hol camp two weeks ago, according to pro-STG accounts who are blaming the SDF for this.

Update: that info was false.

The attacker was a local from south Aleppo. He was part of the interior ministry (not disguising as one), and he was assessed as being an extremist a few days before the incident.
This implies ISIS is trying to infiltrate STG institutions.

How are we supposed to do anything useful if the working class is more divided than ever? Workers are divided into groups and countless political ideologies, right and left, feminism and sexism, conservatism and liberalism. Do you know who are allied and stronger than ever? The bourgeoisie, the friends of the market.

Even people who call themselves leftists and revolutionaries do nothing but argue: anarchists, Marxist-Leninists, Stalinists, CCP sympathizers, Trotskyists, Leftcoms.

Lets take just 1 thing, like the length of work day. I'm not talking about forcing everyone to work less, but allow those who want, to work less. Why will anyone be against that from some ideological view?

I thought may be there is no programme, something constructive. But I think it is not very complicated programme, if we agree what is minimum or minimum work day. It can be seen from biological view, which is: food, midcal care, etc, what a human as biological being need. Also, + education + .. If you agree, then you can find what labor time need to be spent in production of that. Then ask laborers who want to work less, to produce that + something to sell to those who want to work longer. Why not?

Idk, may be it is incomplete. But AFAIK there is not that many people who talk about that, like I did. They usually talk: how under socialism… may be that is the problem.

just organize locally and be a contributing member. people are desperately seeking an answer to why they feel alienated and why life seems so harsh and so painful. consistent education on theory is the first step so that the average person can put on the sunglasses and see the chains around their neck, and how capitalism pits us all against each other. it's just about persistence and doing your part.

Everyone always says "the proletariat are too divided" until capitalism enters crisis, then a disorganised but unified bulk of workers opposition grows, waiting only for a vanguard party or group to turn their dissent into the ability to overthrow the state. There were probably also people in 1917 who thought the Russians were too reactionary to desire left-wing revolution.

>>2595163
Communists are very willing to lie to themselves because they are always desperate for allies and support, read: the fate of european social democracy, mensheviks, early history of CPC, the way Warsaw Bloc states were structured, a lot of Soviet foreign policy. Today self-proclaimed communists do this with every group from gay people as a whole to Talib Afghanistan. It's pathetic but also that's just how people in a position of weakness tend to behave.

Zohran Mamdani and his acolytes are the vanguard of the mom&pop petite-bourgeoisie. Ethnically Indian, Ugandan born, NYC raised: the archetype of the small-business rootless cosmopolitan. He does not oppose big corporations with a view of nationalising them under a worker-led state. He opposes big corporations because they drive his beloved small food truck and small peddlers out of business. Zohran hates Wall Street not because he wants a Proletarian New York, but because he wants an Oriental Bazaar New York. He loves the mass of decentralised spice traders, snake oil merchants, and empanada fryers. Zohran loves American Imperialism, he just wants the petite-bourgeoisie to have a larger share of the imperial spoils, instead of getting wiped out by the haute-bourgeoisie. Bernie killed Rosa, AOC dismembered her corpse, Zohran will distribute the body parts to his small merchant friends.
The only hope for communists in this election was Comrade Curtis Sliwa. But he was never going to survive the assault of the imperial-liberal youth of NYC. The American proletariat barely exists. Its brave last soldiers are heroically resisting, but they have already lost and soon will be exterminated.

who fucking cares dude he's a mayor in some amerikkkan town. He has basically no power, you are just addled by spectacle.


>>2595173
Appointed and endorsed more zionists

Why is so much of leftypol dedicated to demotivation?

The unreal amount of butthurt Mamdani causes in neoliberal MSM, among zionists as well as among anti-communist reactoids of all sorts speaks for him. If i'd live in the USA i would support him doing his lukewarm demsoc thing for a while, cause succdem/demsoc or whatever it's called is still much better for working class interests than anything what burgers usually get when they vote, especially when there's not a strong ML vanguard around. There's enough time for harsh criticism later, if need be.

How can communists in the imperial core be normal?

Not really sure how to explain the problem. It just seems in general like there's an extreme lack of interpersonal skills, patience, pragmatism and empathy for others. IDK just seems very dysfunctional.

>abandon the larp, don't rehabilitate soviets, it makes you look weird, you need to come to communism from the real world, not a discord meme radicalization pipeline
ok loud and clear, but I arrived at communism because i kept getting called a commie by old boomer schizos any time I said things should be marginally better. It wasn't through discord memes, but through saying my own ideas for how to make society better out loud and getting told "that's communism"

Everything you listed is bougie shit. Normalcy is fascism and normies should be thrown into reeducation camps or something like that.

>>2593903
By the way, later on when Engels devoted himself to studying the Irish Question, he came to the opposite conclusion, namely that the Irish were also trying to undergo development but that this development was consistently sabotaged by the British. For example, Irish textile mills would be destroyed by the British and preventing this industrial development. Therefore, Marx and Engels saw the solution to both Irish support of reaction in British politics and the British sabotage of development in Ireland in Irish Republicanism.

You nailed it on the head. I've learned from experience that people IRL get uncomfortable or annoyed when you go off energetically about political stuff, even if they do agree with your positions, so being aggressive about that stuff in normal social situations is guaranteed to turn people off.

Also, to add to this, I feel like because of this situation we're ultimately all liberals to some degree (insert demsoc pot calling the kettle black joke here). I don't wanna go too much into the whole "you're not a real leftist unless you're an actual organizer" thing, but I don't label myself as a democratic socialist, communist, marxist, etc. because it doesn't feel like I've earned that label. I'd usually say I'm left-leaning, a social democrat, maybe even left-wing due to how online the modern left is (especially in the first world).

On this day December 13th 1981 General Wojciech Jaruzelski stood as a soldier of the people and a responsible statesman who acted with historical clarity at a moment of grave danger. Surrounded by imperialist pressure, economic warfare, and internally destabilizing forces dominated by the Washingto-Bonn-Tel Aviv axis , he assumed the burden of leadership to defend the Polish People’s Republic from counterrevolution and national disintegration. By introducing martial law, Jaruzelski demonstrated loyalty to the working class, the Party, and the nation, preventing chaos, safeguarding socialist achievements,

Look at her, eating that corndog.
Anyways, yes, Jaruzelski had too much hope in the Poles. It was inevitable that they would return to their natural state of being servants for the Germans.
