🗽UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<Hail Caesar Edition


🏈 💵Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich and the pedophile Hitlerite-Zionist clique of the American bourgeoisie and its iron grip upon the greatest bigliest country McGod™ ever gave McMan™ on the face of the McEarth™🌭 🍔

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.

<Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™

>America has gone through struggles to recognize the rights of gay people and those struggles should not be reversed and gay workers should not be ostracized from communism.
But those struggles occurred under Capitalism and were fought under a Capitalist regime for Capitalist rights given to the LGBT community by the Capitalist power structure of the Capitalist regime.
That is to say, we don't have to limit ourselves and our conception of society based on rules Capitalists set for us. We can in fact have a policy of government not getting involved in sexuality and focusing on the rights of gay people as workers and citizens, and protect them from discrimination under the laws of a socialist society.
We can in fact take an approach to government that isn't based on apologizing for the crimes of Capitalism, Religion, Zionism, etc but instead offering people a better alternative.

Anyway as to your denial of China's oppression of LGBT people it's difficult to find sources that aren't well, Capitalists trying to defame China, but the CCP isn't exactly shy about seeing LGBT ideology as an invasive Western idea trying to disrupt the harmony of their society. Interestingly though public opinion towards gay people in China is growing and they might have an actual alternative to Western-centric "Pride" in the coming years as the CCP does not on the surface oppose homosexuality but the American/European propaganda being pushed through western LGBT culture.

>But those struggles occurred under Capitalism and were fought under a Capitalist regime for Capitalist rights given to the LGBT community by the Capitalist power structure of the Capitalist regime.
That's a shaky argument. It's like a "genetic fallacy" where something is seen as invalid simply because of where it originated. Also, every socialist movement in history has also had organize inside capitalist societies. Capitalists have also granted demands that were often made by socialists like collective bargaining rights. Not saying gay rights are incompatible with capitalism or is inherently "revolutionary," and you're not saying gays should be discriminated against.

But there are people who we run into on the internet (anyways) who are like "well that happened under capitalism so therefore it's capitalism and therefore it's not socialist." But then they'll make an excuse for billionaires existing in China. Reminds me a bit of Salafists who are like "well that's Western so it's haram."

>The current “Peace Negotiations” are a Kabuki theatre that will result in Trump refusing to force a Ceasefire
Bruh, I'm not reading all that post, but I agree with this. We heard that he was threatening a Thursday deadline red line, and now he's already walked back the seriousness of that when talking to the press. The sole objective is to soften Russia's approach and buy Europe time (what Europe can be expected to do is another discussion entirely) by playing toward Putin's hard-on for negotiations and legal wrangling. It's no coincidence that the Russian military is at its most effective during lulls in diplocuckery.

"turns out conservatives and reactionaries are just dumb after all" edition.

news:
- Your Party is suing itself, more at 11.
- The SNP and Plaid are going to form a "progressive alliance" somehow
- The government's going to do a switcheroo by raising income tax slightly and cutting national insurance to balance it out. (But they won't - follow this to its logical conclusion and scrap NI entirely)
- They're also considering cutting VAT on energy bills (which is the least efficient way of lowering bills you can imagine)
- The board of deputies asked Aston Villa for free footy tickets. In a worrying sign of rising antisemitism, Aston said nah.
- Labour is falling behind the Greens in the opinion polls as their strategy of copying Reform drives away their already-begrudging supporters without winning over any Reform voting reprobates. Nobody could have predicted this.

Where is the evidence for any of these claims? If I lived in a place as reactionary as Iraq I wouldn’t be advertising the groups I was a part of. Only dogmatic retards whine about the manifesto saying communists are open about their beliefs. I’m publicly a member of a succdem party to hide my real affiliation. The guy is also a doctor and realistically his greatest contribution to a party is money (and off the books medical care for militants).

Secondly, what is it with people dismissing streaming/youtubing/podcasting as if Lenin wasn’t queer for newspapers and pamphlets. If Lenin was alive today he’d be ordering communists to make TikToks.

>>2571611

This is an important point independently of this context: A lot of prominent communist parties that are not in power likely do have wealthy benefactors, even some millionaires (though not many to be sure).

But it would be completely fucking stupid to advertise the fact, both for the party and the benefactors.

Like how the KKE has some units in the Greek military and police but they are completely hushed up.

Well, 2025 is after 2014, so I have no beef with that part, but yeah, the image isn't new and has been floating around for years. Originally it was some stupid joke easily debunked by visiting the link you've given (or its captures on archive.org), but some stupid spergs on 4chan took it seriously and then started pushing the narrative that it was for meme flags, as if 4plebs admins have access to IPs/countries behind memeflags.



 

Can we talk about the new revelations about Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Epstein?

>The prominent linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky called it a “most valuable experience” to have maintained “regular contact” with Jeffrey Epstein, who by then had long been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to emails released earlier in November by US lawmakers.


>Such comments from Chomsky, or attributed to him, suggest his association with Epstein – who officials concluded killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges – went deeper than the occasional political and academic discussions the former had previously claimed to have with the latter.


>Chomsky, 96, had also reportedly acknowledged receiving about $270,000 from an account linked to Epstein while sorting the disbursement of common funds relating to the first of his two marriages, though the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor has insisted not “one penny” came directly from the infamous financier.


>The emails disclosed on 12 November by the Republican members of the US House oversight committee generally detailed the correspondence Epstein had with political, academic and business luminaries, including the Bill Clinton White House’s treasury secretary Larry Summers and Steve Bannon, the longtime ally of Donald Trump. Further, they reveal Epstein and Chomsky were close enough to discuss musical interests and even potential vacations.


>Perhaps the most telling of the Chomsky-related documents in question was a letter of support for Epstein attributed to Chomsky with the salutation “to whom it may concern”. It is not dated, but it contains a typed signature with Chomsky’s name and citing his position as a University of Arizona laureate professor, a role he began in 2017, as first reported by the Massachusetts news outlet WBUR.

>Will he be cancelled? His books burned or thrown in the trash?
I don’t know of a single leftist younger than 34 who cares about Chomsky at all.

Chomsky is part of an era of left-wing intellectuals in the US who existed in the worst conditions possible for that sort of thing and as far as I'm aware his only contributions to radical thought have been essentially being a figurehead for anarchism to make it seem more legitimate to people who think if something doesn't have clout with an institution like academia it must not be legitimate. he probably was only ever able to have a career in academia while also being openly a red anarchist by having ties to people like Epstein because the Anglosphere only incidentally produces anything of intellectual value if it's useful for the NATO military-industrial complex, which largely rules out the humanities.

if David Graeber was in the Epstein files then I'd give more of a shit since he's actually contributed a lot to radical thought, but Chomsky has never been anything more than a guy with clout who paid lip service to ideas that a lot of other socialists have said.

>”principled anarchist”
Chomsky stopped being anarchist after he got smoked in the debate with Foucault.

you're retarded because the definition linked is obviously not the definition of the word today, which is way more about the global diplomatic and power relations between states and alliances, its really all just materialism and dialectic applied to the international states relations (where ofc geography still has its place)
and yes geopolitics have been used as an imperialist tool, biology and genetics was also used by nazis as justification in a similar way, it does not mean someone using biology and genetics is automatically a nazi (although if someone start doing pol tier phrenology and race science, you can dismiss them as reactionary retard, same as if someone start talking about clash of civilization and living space)
