Why come they didn't get a cool socialist style flag and coat of arms rework? Then you're all surprised when they're complete anti-communists like come on, they didn't even change the fucking name until 1952. Maybe they should've changed their shitty generic flag or the shitty generic eagle./FrancoPol/ 🇫🇷
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 Aux armes, citoyens ! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷Anyone else really hate the "social theory" of transness?
That is, the idea that being trans is in some way caused by socialization and has no physiological component (ie brain differences, hormonal abnormalities, etc) to it at all. I keep seeing other lefty people, both trans and cis, repeat this. I'm not even going to get into all the evidence that points towards a physiological origin because my real point is that I honestly find the idea just really invalidating and kind of offensive. It's as if they're saying my dysphoria isn't real, that transness is equivalent to being a fashion choice and I just need to get over it or find a more accepting community or whatever instead of transition being a medical necessity./USApol/ 🇺🇸
🗽UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅You're designated head of the Soviet Republics in 1981, how do you save the union ?
Memes aside, how could the soviet republics have managed to keep unity and rivalize with the west whilst maintaining an image of a viable alternative to normal people from the 1980s-onwards ? Lastly, would a soviet model as it was intended to work in practice be actually desirable as a socialist model ?/PRC/ People's Republic of China 14

*ring ring ring*communism is a civic religion for the listed reasons
1-Teleological narrative: Communism offers a worldview with a clear historical purpose, such as the class struggle culminating in a classless society, resembling the eschatological narratives of traditional religions (e.g., the idea of a "paradise" or "salvation"). The idealized "communist future" functions as a transcendent goal.AI Art Effortpost General V2.0:

I wonder if most American "leftists" (democratic socialists or otherwise) deep down are just educated liberals who are really angry about the US not having the welfare state and social protections other countries (particularly those in Europe) have, and jump towards leftism as a solution to the worsening inequalities to the world and abroad, thinking it'll be the best way to forcefully express their anger and enact the change (this probably also applies to non-American lefties to a lesser extent but let's focus on burgers). The "educated lib" part also explains why they tend to lash out and be super arrogant and scoldy towards other Americans who aren't leftie, and seem to just really hate working-class Americans who have conservative beliefs - something I see a lot of educated libs do in the US. Maybe I'm projecting, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of leftie millennials and zoomers felt this way. At the same time, though, it does make me think that what these people truly want is to "flee" or move to a developed nation with a social democractic welfare state (or really just universal healthcare at the bare minimum) like Canada (lol) or somewhere in Europe and live comfortably, and then drop their leftist beliefs to become a center-left/centrist/center-right/center-whatever European. Like, I don't have any problem with wanting to move to another country - it's always interesting to live abroad - but if your desire is to escape to Europe so you can be comfortable there and just do nothing else while sneering at Americans for being morons, I wonder how you'd react to the growing power of the far-right in Europe. As of writing we already have a fascist in Giorgia Meloni governing as PM in Italy, and AfD is the second largest party in the Bundestag and are the largest opposition party - it's not a good trend. Are they going to just sit around doing nothing but posture like libs talking about how bad Europeans (particuarly disillusioned, angry working class Euros) who vote for far-right parties are and how they deserve the suffering that comes to them like they do with Americans and/or retreat to their social safety nets, saying to themselves "at least we're not America" ad nauseam as things get worse and Europe continues to be cruel towards immigrants, or will they actually engage in leftist organizing in their new countries to make things better beyond social democracy, even if it involves participating in demsucc parties?/leftydeutschpol/ - DB-Edition
Neuigkeitenboo id politik
I have no desire to claim or identify with 'womanhood' so much as i absolutely reject 'manhood'. i do like presenting femme, i had an orchiectomy; but i feel like i have a lot of trouble relating to mainstream trans politics being so invested in being 'valid' or belonging to some specific identity, label, or class. I get frustrated when well-meaning allies lean really hard on 'oh but you are a girl', or go out of their way to correct other people about my pronouns/gender. Frankly i think it's a detriment to things like reproductive healthcare rights and just general sexism and gender liberation to go all in on 'trans women are women!'; i'm not saying they're /not/ but, there are differences of experience and there's a lot of nuance and edge-case discourse to be had.AI news shit general

Why can’t I relate to other trans people? I just can’t relate to the level of comfort and pride and self-love many of them have. It genuinely seems like so many of them don’t have the part of the brain that makes them cringe. They’re just so unfiltered and unapologetic, I just can’t relate at all, I constantly feel like a gross disgusting excuse for a woman and feel scared interacting with the world as one. I don’t know why I cling so strongly onto this meekness, maybe it’s misogyny, I just associate being boisterous and loud with being masculine. I can’t relate to how willing they are to make cringy niche trans memes to their cis friends. I just am so anxious to discuss transness in any open forum where I know cis people might see it. I admit I still have this kind of backwards view that being trans is something shameful and it would be better to stealth if possible. Idk what to do, I want this level of comraderie other trans people have but being in trans spaces, especially trans women spaces just makes me cringe, it either feels like it’s full of very bro-ish sorts of trans women who are unapologetically masculine, or trans women who feel sort of overly preformatively feminine. I genuinely just can’t relate to most of trans culture right now./auspol/ #11 - Southern Cross edition

Old thread (v1): https://leftypol.org/hobby/res/7136.htmlWar between PRC and USA
I think people underestimate the USA. I think the USA would lose in a normal war against the PRC. But the USA doesn't play fair. I think the USA would pull every dirty trick in the book and only escalate to open warfare when the PRC is already destabilized. I believe that USA would definitely use chemical and biological weapons. The ground would be prepared with drugs, crime, fascist pedo-cults, schizo-spree killers, heightened ethnic conflict, mass protests and labor strikes. The next step would be escalation into sanctions, lawfare, plagues and mass poisonings. Then a proxy war in Xinjiang, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The USA would only actually step in when the PRC is already half-dead.Do RTS developers just not understand tactics?
For real life military tactics, well tactics are actually pretty ancient. The historical cause for large scale formations and mass marches was mainly caused by either poor education among common soldiers or weapons too heavy/large to carry easily. Otherwise, squad level tactics, raids, deception warfare, mobility, and other “tacticool” nonsense has been a part of war for eons or possibly thousands of years. The main enabler is usually mobility for infantry soldiers to avoid having to rely on mobs of slow moving men for battles./US-Venezuela war/ US invasion of Venezuela, nothingburger or actual happening?
Is Venezuela about to be fucking invaded?fandoms & communities
ever since i left fandom spaces i felt mentally better than i was for the past couple of months to perhaps 2 to 3 years or so mainly cause of the furry fandom but also because of fandom discourse appearing around the morality of drawings on my feed too as well as being on social media. i tried giving roblox fandoms a chance but i gave up and stuck to furry. but the amount of puritanism, reactionaries, and modern day burned furs in the fandom ruined my mental health further so i left the fandom and decided to focus on my interests ever since. i also quit social media as well, deleted my xitter account, and used tumblr and bluesky less now (not like i was planning to use the latter to begin with). i also left the art community as well despite me being an artist myself and put more focus on art as a hobby than as a commodity just to form an online platform. i’m still planning to have some sort of platform, but it will mostly be random stuff cause it’s my platform after all, and i can do whatever the fuck i want to do with it. esp if i gained 34k subscribers/followers (which i dont have but it would probably be interesting or nice to have at some point in the future). despite communities being a complicated topic and “it just depends idk man” thing cause niche communities tend to be way better in my experience. and art is a fun hobby or tool to entertain yourself and others. to me, it felt like modern day fandoms, art and bigger “communities” are a result of capitalism, and reactionary culture/sub cultures invading spaces, and fandoms started off in the past as something revolutionary a step towards feminism. but that’s just me i guess, and i don’t even know what the fuck am i talking about, im just a jaded retard on the internet using leftypol as a place to complain and share my struggles. what do i know much about politics anywayshow can trans men be lesbian?
