To achieve an international Socialist rule, we must ensure a full dedication to the party and it's objectives. Personal relationships that leech funds, attention, and dedication to the party must be destroyed by the individual internally to achieve an unwavering dedication to the proletariat. We've seen countless times in organizations that sexuality have led to the destruction of the individuals in power, Haz, Hasan, Maupin, MikefromPA, their downfall and degeneration? Falling from Marxist ideals in favor of dedication to sexual conquest. Our relationships to others should solely be dedicated to advancing the interests of the international proletariat, a dictatorship of the proletariat, and the return and advancement of the Comintern.

but again, you are posing these ultimatums to suggest that its an either/or. you either care about this or that… and just because you dont care doesnt mean nobody should care, surely?

>>2538683
in taste terms, yes, nobody should care. to care about crime is ugly and shows bad taste. to care about transport is autistic, but with a certain beauty to it.
90% of the people who care about crime aren't actually impacted by it and about half the remaining 10% get no sympathy because they're doing something cringe like living in London. concern about it is therefore a very good way of identifying uninteresting people with unexciting fantasies of the state beating up lumpen.
imagine two people fantasize about making London into Singapore (allowing, implicitly, both issues to be touched on), but one focuses on the use of the cane in the justice system, while the other focuses on the railway system. Which one do you think is going to be a repugnant ogre with deep-seated psychosexual issues?)

p.s. there are biological limitations on one's attention and chronological limitations on the number of hours in a day. every decision to allocate your attention one way is a decision not to allocate it in another (which, when i put it like that is a very strong case for closing the tab…)

Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.

everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.

Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.

Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.

I think some of you don't realize how unpopular being anti-NATO and anti-EU is at the moment, because of, guess it, the war in Ukraine and the disaster that is a Tory-controlled post-Brexit UK.
I say this as someone who is in favor of leaving NATO and drafting a long-term plan to leave the EU without losing too many advantages from it (minimal border controls in the Schengen area for example).
But politics aren't a purity contest, you need to appeal to the masses if you want to go somewhere within a bourgeois democratic system.

I think the strategy of La France Insoumise is pretty good in the sense that they want to leave NATO and are somewhat Euroskeptic, it's inscribed in their program, but they don't talk much about it.
Face it, most people don't care about big talk mentioning imperialism and speeches from a 1935 Soviet mummy. They want higher wages, a more stable financial situation, easy access to housing, very simple basic stuff. The emphasis should be on such matters. All the talk about NATO is already there for people who are educated on geopolitics in specific newspapers and discussion groups. Hating NATO is truly popular only in Serbia.
I don't see the point of loudly proclaiming "Putin did nothing wrong!" in the public space. It's not the time to say "We will bury you!", because normal workers are rather afraid of being buried themselves by their own national bourgeoisie right now.

>>2538678
Anti-NATO and anti-EU position is eapecially toxic. It appeals only to nationalists, who arent going to vote socialists anyway. Eapecially now that libs recognize USA as a fascist state, replacing NATO with common European defence allience seems like a good opportunity for finally breaking it.

🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<In the Burgerplane Over the Reich Edition


Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: 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™ 🌭 🍔

pre-march on rome mostly, but even then there were still a number of intellectuals in the movement, and i will admit my definition is loose as it includes artists or writers, but that's because many of the writers or artists were often doing things quite similar to the intellectuals of the day, so separating them is pointless

>They became the elite class, and they were backed by the elite class.
the middle class became the elite class? truly fascinating, also "the elite class backed them" is just nonsense and you know it, the elite class as i already mentioned were not big business, but the former aristocrats and nobility, because they held immense power well into the nazi era as well, in fact the biggest allies in big business were precisely of the petty bourgeois background many of the nazis were, so no i reject the premise of your argument, i'm sorry the water is slightly too cold but it's not fascism when that happens, it's a natural feature of capitalist states

>>2538686
>privatized state power
I see what you mean by this but its a contradiction of liberalism. porky may feel like it makes the wheels turn but as we all know sovereign are they who decides on the exception, and that privilege remains with the state in every liberal society. porky is allowed freedom until its no longer convenient, as we see with Trump nationalizing american companies
>fascism is still under the capitalist mode of production
of course, that's why Fascism is not historically progressive.
>liberalism
nope, not with a modified concept of private property plus sovereignty over profits privy to the state first and foremost

>>2538697
Trump isn’t nationalizing an company. If anything he’s creating a way for these companies to further privatize the state. A 10% stake means the government gets to put someone on the shareholders board and get a vote. In no way does that mean the company was nationalized, it means some bureaucrat that likely is hand pick by these companies will be a direct link to government money.

>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?

and the only law is to join a union?

>>2538584
Join a union and work for a certain amount of time, of course. If you have health conditions that make it impossible to work, or if you're a child or a single parent escaping war or genocide, you would be freed from this requirement. That is also assuming that the nature of work isn't as inhumane as currently under capitalism. Ideally, you would have a 30-hour work week in general, universal health/childcare and the workplace would be democratized at the very least.

>>2531543
What I'm saying goes beyond the machinations of the state. I'm outright saying it doesn't matter what the "real" reason is behind (mass) migration.
I'm concerned with why people care at all. Which says a lot more about them than whatever system they think they're living in.
I also don't buy into this "the media told me this!" excuse people come up with. Like I was browsing r/europe (inb4 >reddit) earlier today, and there was this woman who admitted she "was racist" when she was poor, but then she started to do a little better and then "lol I was no longer racist" because she wasn't "competing" (with those "ethnics") anymore.
The assumption here is that it's reasonable at all to share this attitude. Natural even! (as one commenter stated) But it isn't. Because when I was in her place, what I felt was solidarity. And not even when I was out on the streets and could barely afford to buy bread did I blame "brown people", jews, women, etc. for what I was experiencing.

I also don't see see the value in pointing out who's doing it, as opposed to critiquing the attitude itself (immigration as something to be "solved", xenophobia and racism as 'natural' responses to poverty). Saying its a zionist ethnonationalist propaganda doesn't necessarily mean it's false.

The pro PRC anons here, are coping. There won't be a Chinese century. China today increasingly resembles a kind of Dengist Brezhnev stagnation: a system originally built for rapid mobilization and catch-up growth that now faces diminishing returns, bureaucratic inertia, and structural rigidity.

The Dengist growth model was revolutionary and finite

Deng Xiaoping’s post-1978 reforms unleashed:

- Market incentives within a planned framework
- Export-oriented industrialization
- Massive investment and urbanization
- Pragmatic central control (black cat, white cat…)

For 30+ years, that model delivered almost miraculous catch-up growth, exactly as Stalinist heavy industry did for the USSR in the 1930s-1960s, or as Brezhnev inherited in the 1970s.

But, like the Soviet system under Brezhnev, China’s model has:

to marx, "labour-money" is NOT money, and its this item which he suggests be used in a communist society:
>Owen’s “labour-money,” for instance, is no more “money” than a ticket for the theatre.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch03.htm
>For example, the social working day consists of the sum of the individual hours of work; the individual labor time of the individual producer is the part of the social working day contributed by him, his share in it. He receives a certificate from society that he has furnished such-and-such an amount of labor (after deducting his labor for the common funds); and with this certificate, he draws from the social stock of means of consumption as much as the same amount of labor cost. 
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1875/gotha/ch01.htm
>>2538605
to marx, there is NO commodity exchange in a communist society:
<Within the co-operative society based on common ownership of the means of production, the producers DO NOT EXCHANGE their products; JUST AS LITTLE does the labor employed on the products appear here as the VALUE of these products, as a material quality possessed by them, since now, in contrast to capitalist society, individual labor no longer exists in an indirect fashion but directly as a component part of total labor.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1875/gotha/ch01.htm

>>2538586
<By contrast, the late-19th-century “marginalist” or “subjectivist” revolution argued that value arises from individual preferences, utility, scarcity and choice — not labour input.
but labour itself is an essential factor in the economy, as jevons (1871) points out: >>2495832
labour entails a negative utility which is proportioned by the "final degree of utility" of its total product, and thus, the value of labour (paid in the wage) is given according to this equalisation, with a "surplus utility" of the labourer entailing higher wages by shorter working times. lengthening the working day expends labour at the cost of its diminished returns; a "surplus utility" given to the capitalist for an extended duration of labour. this is applicable to classical and marxian notions of surplus product, just in different language - so does not implode any existing frameworks (or results), but simply interprets them more scientifically.
<Thus the LTV’s attempt to explain price/value purely via labour becomes less compelling in a framework where value is inherently subjective and context‐dependent.
well, as jevons also points out, ricardo presupposes a value in exchange to be a value in use to the purchaser; the same is done for marx, where labour is only (inter-)subjectively defined as a value by exchange.
<One critique is that LTV struggles to provide a workable measure of “abstract labour” or to account for differences in skill, intensity, capital inputs, demand, utility, etc.
the measure is typically given by duration through the medium of the wage. if i work 8 hours for £80, my labour is worth £10/hr. similarly, if i work 4 hours for £80, my labour is worth £20/hr. if someone is paid more for less, the rate of their intensity is implied in this - jevons also concludes this by seeing that the utility of labour diminishes concurrently at the rate of labour by its duration and intensity. this formula is also marx's:
>The value of a commodity, therefore, varies directly as the quantity, and inversely as the productiveness, of the labour incorporated in it.

Rightoids literally think that "racist" is a magic word, they don't view it as an actual descriptor but people calling them something mean. They don't actually think it has any meaning and don't actually think why anyone would logically call them or their positions racist, so their magic trick is to just throw it back around. So you'll have a black klansman talking about how black people are stupid and criminals, and rightoids will think it makes perfect sense to call anyone else racist for being against that. Because they literally unrionically believe that people on the left do never ever criticize other black people, they fell for their own memes.

Ahem

Marxism has no reality at all in the West. Nearly all self-proclaimed Marxists are frauds who haven’t even read Marx, let alone understand him. They use the label Marxism, despite knowing nothing about it, as a pseudo-intellectual obfuscation for their liberal ideology. To begin, what is Marxism? Marxism is not a theory of equality. It is not a diagnosis of injustice, nor is it a specific prescription of how to remedy society’s ills. Marxism is a method for acquiring knowledge about the laws governing the historical development of societies. Marxism thus regards itself as a type of science. Most people think of science as something purely descriptive. But the reason Marx’s contemporaries called him Prometheus is because he bequeathed a science that did not just describe reality, but participated in its development. This makes Marxism totally contrary to modern science. Modern science places knowledge above its object. To know, means to strip something naked to consciousness and turn it into a utility for the knowing subject. He who knows an object, can control, master, and alter an object. But the ‘object’ known by Marxism is none other than human society itself. And the paradox lies in the obvious fact that society is not just an object, but also a subject. Marxists (subjects) are themselves part of the very object they make knowable. To complicate matters further, Marx does not claim knowledge of society alone can transform society. Instead, he proves that society is already coming to know and transform itself materially in the form of the then growing proletarian class. Most people think Marx is ‘Promethean’ because he wanted his ideas popularized. But the REAL reason was because he had the courage of declaring the return of knowledge back to being itself, and human beings in particular. He created a science that ceased to be above its object. For Marx, the knowledge of historical laws arrived at by consciousness, was being reflected in history itself. Knowledge of humanity does not dominate humanity, but reveals that it was there, and part of it all along. “Communism is the riddle of history solved.” Why the need for class consciousness? This is where people misunderstand Leninism as an attempt to turn politics and state power into a tool for realizing some goal of the mind. In reality, the role of Marxists lies in spreading the ‘good news’ to the despairing proletariat. Class consciousness, the so-called ‘vanguard party,’ and the CommunPost too long.

Many such cases.

Is communism inherently anti-ecological? Or is it the only real solution to today’s planetary crisis?

Communism, The Highest Stage of Ecology makes a bold intervention in contemporary environmental debates, refuting the myth that socialism and ecological responsibility are at odds. Instead, Guillaume Suing argues that planned economies—unlike capitalist market systems—offer the necessary framework for sustainable resource management, food sovereignty, and scientific agricultural advancements.

Drawing on historical case studies from the Soviet Union and Cuba, Suing explores the successes and contradictions of socialist environmental policies, from agroecology to energy planning. He critically engages with ecosocialist currents and exposes the limitations of “green capitalism,” ultimately reaffirming the centrality of dialectical materialism in understanding and confronting the climate crisis.

Translated into English for the first time, with a foreword and scholarly contextualization by Henry Hakamäki and Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro, this book is an essential contribution for scholars, activists, and all those seeking a radical path toward ecological and social liberation.

Ironic thing to say considering my flag, but Stalin had an excuse (an impending threat of a Nazi invasion and the need to rebuild the country (again) after it, nessesitating excessive workers) to ban abortion which a hypothetical future communist country would not have.

>>2538508
>had an excuse (an impending threat of a Nazi invasion

Also Hoxha's Albania in 1979.
<Abortion was a crime in communist Albania as it contradicted the party directive to increase the population at almost any cost.
https://balkaninsight.com/2017/11/09/albanian-women-remember-fear-of-abortion-during-communism-11-06-2017/

And oh look they re instituted abortion in 1989-1991 during capitalist restoration in Albania as imperialists took control of that country and began pursuing a policy of degrowth, depopulation and genocide
<In 1989, the Ministry of Health issued a directive allowing abortions to be legally performed in cases of rape or incest or when the woman was under sixteen years of age. In 1991, it issued another directive legalizing, for the first time, abortion on family planning and social grounds.

>which a hypothetical future communist country would not have.

You think the equivalent of a Nazi Germany does not exist in NATO? You think NATO will not ROFL stomp a country that raises the Red Flag?
You think a hypothetical future communist country is not going to come under the exact same pressures as Soviets in 1930s or Hoxha's Albania?

I don't know why people get so pissed about the Australian Frontier Wars. Sure, I might be willing to admit that certain elements of Queen Victoria's administration may have harboured slightly anti-indiginous sentiments that go far even for me, but that doesn't mean the various tribal groups can deny Australia's right to exist. These savages are so frequently attacking our settlers. I heard one say the other day that "From the Yarra River to the Tasman Sea Shall Be Free," which is obviously genocidal, as there are a ton of Australians in this area and they have no connection to any other nation. Where would they go? And I don't get why these Wurundjeri, Boonwurrung, and Wathaurrungs get so pissed off. This is obviously not an equal fight. Aboriginals surround Australians in every direction. Why can't they just go live with these Jagera and Turrbal peoples in the desert? The northern savages don't seem to be helping the southern ones out enough, why is it always our responsibility? I read in the Herald Sun the other day that some Aboriginals scalped babies! Babies! You can condemn the land seizures but not scalping babies? These activists seem to be holding Queen Victoria to a standard they never held Pemulwuy to when he was slaughtering innocent Bendigo settlers. They must just want all the Australian people dead. Again, you may have certain issues with the Queen's administration, or even every monarch ever crowned, but this doesn't mean Australians have inherent problems (the Aboriginals certainly do, I haven't heard one condemn the latest scalping). You can criticise certain politicians, and I agree, I'm even a Labour voter, but you have no right to question our peoples right to exist. There is no other Australian nation in the world. Why do you want us, out of all other people, not to have self determination?(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

It is racist but I like it. I like to imagine that the white girl and black man are of different species and that the white girl is a young naïve nymph who has the hots for a male that is too large for her. When he mounts her she begins to realize that he‘s too big for her but she‘s at his mercy now and has to bear through. The pain turns to pleasure and she submits to being bred by the bull.

No, seriously, is bbc a material force/factor? Why wont black commies with bbc turn more women towards communism? Do bbc owners have an incentive to be communist?

In the two years since ChatGPT and DeepSeek were released, we have observed some significant quantitative leaps.

The use of commercial AI has allowed many people to bring their fantasies to reality through the use of "AI Slop." This has created a divide in the artistic sphere by sparking debates over AI art and whether it should be considered art.

AI has made accessing knowledge more convenient, as it can scan the internet to provide the information you desire. However, it has also made people less knowledgeable, as they become too lazy to do the research themselves.

There has also been an ongoing project to implement AI into the military-industrial complex, which has created Project Maven (or similar). This can only be described as a mechanized executioner.

Not to mention that AI systems can be of great importance to future socialist experiments, as we know that the quantitative leaps produced by AI can create qualitative changes.

In other words, this thread is about discussing the importance of AI in the future socialist experiment and what your opinion on it is.

Robot dogs and AI drone swarms: How China could use DeepSeek for an era of war

> China's state-owned defense giant Norinco in February unveiled a military vehicle capable of autonomously conducting combat-support operations at 50 kilometres per hour. It was powered by DeepSeek, the company whose artificial intelligence model is the pride of China's tech sector.

>The Norinco P60’s release was touted by Communist Party officials in press statements as an early showcase of how Beijing is using DeepSeek and AI to catch up in its arms race with the United States, at a time when leaders in both countries have urged their militaries to prepare for conflict.
>A Reuters review of hundreds of research papers, patents and procurement records gives a snapshot of the systematic effort by >Beijing to harness AI for military advantage.
>Specifics of how the systems behind China's next-generation weapons work and the extent to which it has deployed them are a state >secret, but procurement records and patents offer clues into Beijing's progress toward capabilities like autonomous target recognition >and real-time battlefield decision support in a way that mirrors U.S. efforts.
>Reuters couldn't establish if all the products had been built and patents don't necessarily indicate operational technology.
>The People's Liberation Army (PLA) and affiliates continue to use and look for Nvidia chips, including models under U.S. export controls, according to the papers, tenders and patents.

AI is not the real wunderwaffen, that honor goes to genetically engineered viruses which all major countries have already developed. Total war is not going to be nukes or swarms of drones, it's going to billions of people puking and shitting to death. The perfect way to eliminate the problem of excess labor, which is the fundamental problem that the modern ruling classes have.

why the fuck do westoids have awful reasons to hate japan? i hate japan too because of its imperialist nature and capitalist economic system. but i never understood the people who claim they hate japan, and it’s because of pedophilia and rape, and the pedo or rape in question are just drawings instead of pulling up actual statistics of pedophilia or rape being normalized in that nation. all i know is that misogyny and racism are a problem in japan so there’s probably a hint already that pedophilia and rape are also normalized in japan as well. this isn’t trying to defend japan or whatever but im rather concerned about how they’re not being critical when criticizing a nation like japan
