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.

i think there is a way of talking about the existential nature of being trans without falling into cis queer abstraction. to do so we need new tools and ways off thinking about being. check out this article i just finished writing: >>4621

>>4568
i talk about this. of course in lefty spaces there is this tendency to be skeptical of religion while being uncritically supporting of a deracinating humanism which can not ground authentic trans being in any capacity. what needs to be interrogated is the material bases of religion. the point of it being an opium of the people is an oversimplification that forgets the obvious fact that religion preceded our current mode of production. perhaps what is needed is also a transcendental critique of religion, and by this i do not simply mean simple criticism but the drawing of boundaries of applicability and finding its proper place in human life as oppsed to blindly discarding things wholesale

Madness is like religion, it's a real thing the mad do but to boil it down simply to a diseased brain misunderstands much of the root of the pathology in socio-economic circumstances.
Of course, functional impairments are real but what is an impairment and what is a quirk is relative to the nature of what is a normal life. Consider glasses and eyesight.
The same sort of stuff applies to a sensitivity to loud noises and so on.

>>4637

From the day a person is born they are under constant pressure from all sides to conform to behavioral norms, the entire world puts pressure on them to fit in and be a normal cisgender, heterosexual, neurotypical person like everybody else, and the consequences for not conforming to these expectations are generally quite severe. And yet, despite all of this, there are hundreds of millions of people in the world who fail to conform to these expectations, no matter how much pressure is put on them to fit in or how much pressure they put on themselves to fit in. Why is that?

Why is leftypol not throwing massive support behind Mamdani?

No one believes he’s an actual socialist, however his victory will be the most important victory of the American left of the past 90 years. Why? Because it shows the Zionist Lobby has NO POWER compared to the power of the MASSES OF PEOPLE and we can defeat the satanic Zionist entity not with a violent revolution but simply with voting. Nobody believes Mamdani is a perfect candidate but that’s not the point.

So why aren’t we backing him en masse? His inevitable win will be the biggest blow to US-Zio imperialism in modern history.

🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<Isolated 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™ 🌭 🍔

No way. Just like at the polling results. Mamdani won sure, but plenty of people still votes for Cuomo. Leni had it right, the Communist movement has to be lead by committed radicals. The only thing the mass of people can be counted on for is general discontent.

Leftypol certainly isn't leading anyone. I doubt a single one of you even volunteered for Mamdani or used his campaign to promote Leftism to the masses irl.

"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.

sensible centre-leftist*

>>2551545
my theory is that rightists are nominalists, or concerned with denotatum, whilst the left is generally concerned with connotation. thus, when a rightist implies bias by coding (i.e "dog whistles") they are free to play dumb by asserting that nothing they said in itself was "racist" for example, thus they will persist upon a false neutrality as regarding semiosis, even claiming that slurs in themselves are neutral (i once heard for example that "uyghur" had zero racial content to it because its etymology supposedly rests in the term "uyghardly" rather than "negro"). what they all conclude is that there is no such thing as bigotry, but only leftist neurosis. we saw this many moons ago where a nazi in this thread reduced everything down to denying the reality of racism (a right-wing provocateur, jesse lee peterson, also does this, where they claim that "racism" does not exist). thus, someone like curtis yarvin claims that "racism" is not a belief, but is a lack of belief. everyone is supposedly "racist", but "racism" only has a reality where it is signified. this of course is the same as saying that you cant rape someone if the victim is unconscious. this clumsy machiavellian idiocy is part of having low social intelligence, since you might be the type of guy to make insensitive jokes and then get angry at the audience. we see this "unfunny" and "uncool" posturing with older men who like to complain about "woke" and so on. what is "cool" (fashion/status) has a limited shelf-life, and so not "getting it" shows one's failure to adjust. the right above all else are uncool, which is also part of their desparation to be included (i.e. PJW claimimg that "conservatism is the new punk rock") to universal cringe.

higher social intelligence means "getting it" by some margin, and so it also means conformity, with fashion being downstream from elite opinions and apparel. this is why leftist social awareness adapts to code and custom more readily (with the vast majority of comedians being left-wing for example). todd mcgowan has given an excellent reading of left versus right comedy before (vidrel). an issue with this leftist "oversocialisation" (e.g. ted kaczynski) is that it tends to conform itself into censorship, directly and indirectly, since the overcoding of awareness targets digression. this is why leftist spaces are sectarian, since vying forPost too long.

Anti-imperialism has been shoehorned into leftist discourse just like useless idpol (not talking about the existence of gays) was in the 2010s. The great difficulty of developing class conciousness in service-economy liberal states is made even more complicated by rethoric pushed by feds that the workers in these states can't be socialist. This is used inside this states to prevent organization and outside these states to promote petite-nationalism.

>So what you’re saying is service workers are a reactionary sector
maybe. you would have to conduct an analysis to be sure. i would say it depends. you will probably get different results depending on the country and how that role is reproduced. retail cashiers, tech support, and banking are all "services". "services workers" and "service-economy liberal states" are very different things

i am implying that labor aristocrats are reactionary though, while not making a claim about whether "services workers" or "service-economy liberal states" qualify. for that you would again have to look at the data. a reactionary state doesn't even mean that the workers in it are reactionary, you would have to prove that they materially benefit and that their consciousness is generally aligned that way

a hedge fund manager in an imperialist country that votes for war is obviously different than a clerk at a gas station in a dependent county who is a member of a communist party

The lack of class consciousness has got nothing to do with whether the economy is a service economy or a manufacturing economy, it's just the result of propaganda and class warfare. Americans used to be much more class conscious and used to form labor unions and things like that but starting in the 1920s the government colluded with the private sector to smash the labor movement and eradicate class consciousness and socialist ideas from American thought forever.

<Vincent de Gournay, a French Physiocrat and intendant of commerce in the 1750s, popularized the term laissez-faire as he allegedly adopted it from François Quesnay's writings on China.

This depends on whether the person talking about the financialization of the economy wants to use state capitalism as a temporary solution and a socialist economy in solidarity with the world's workers as the real solution. If the person is fantasizing about returning to capitalism with Fordist class conciliation against "technofeudalism," then this person is ignorant because there is no national capitalist with interests separate from financial capital currently to make any deal. This type of analysis depends on what solution the person will propose or if they understand that current financialized capitalism is a continuation of the previous industrial capitalism that changed as capitalists' profit rates decreased and these capitalists felt comfortable not having an organized threat from radicalized workers against the capitalist ruling class to force the bourgeoisie to make concessions. People who accuse of antisemitism probably don't know the socialist solution, which would involve the use of public enterprises and the democratization of the economy for use value instead of speculation and sale for exchange value to make a profit. This means going against private property and anarchy of production.

No soy mexicano, pero ¿es idea mía o se está pujando narrativamente un cambio de régimen contra Morena/Claudia?

Me ha salido mucho en redes sociales estos llamados a protestar de la "Gen Z" con banderas de One Piece. También le echan la culpa al gobierno del asesinato contra el alcalde ese, siendo algo que ocurre casi todas las semanas en países donde el narco es poderoso. Y en Reddit (supongo que en otros lados también) aseguran que el toqueteo en público a Claudia fue actuado.

¿Qué tan inorgánico es todo esto? No recuerdo que con AMLO se dieran tantos "escándalos" y conspiraciones en poco tiempo.

todavia le tienen mucho rencor a AMLO pero ahora tienen la presión de que no van a poder hacer todo el bloque occidental contra China y Rusia si estan rodeados de gobiernos de Izquierda como en sudamerica y Mexico

ahora que esta trump tienen que aprovechar para el 2030 tener la mayoria y cargarse a medio mundo con ellos por que se esta agrietando el imperio yanki.

Hay una campaña artifical permanente contra Morena desde el sexenio de AMLO, impulsada principalmente por Claudio X. González. Involucra muchos bots en Twitter (un método favorito de los políticos mexicanos desde Peña Nieto). Hay mucho dinero detrás de la campaña (incluyendo los típicos USAID, NED), pero no tienen mucha efectividad ni sentido político (veáse Xochitl Galvez). Lo del llamado a protestas generación Z es otro ejemplo, están queriendo importar fórmulas que no encajan en el contexto mexicano.

I've never been able to believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life, but horny extraterrestrial life… I think about it all the time. If aliens come to Earth, they'll probably want to do a lot of sex with us because of the long journey.

Would you do an alien if she was easy? What would turn you off?

What if I get some sort of space std that is incurable? But I dont know man banging ETs would be hard work though having to get abducted and strapped to an examination table and all that.

>>2551464
They didn't collaborate with Germans in any significant quantities. Claims of otherwise come from Germans, who tried to portray themselves as liberators against Bolshevism, and from idiotic reading of data. Say, Germans created some national assembly for Tatars, representatives of that assembly were majority white emigre who represented who knows what, and then the represented number of people gets presented as a number of collaborators;
And as a cherry on top, Crimean Tatars got their crazy 70% anti-Soviet organization participation trophy due to "researchers" being idiots and claiming that ALL TATAR ORGANIZATIONS were ONLY for CRIMEANS TATARS; given that Tatar national assembly was composed based on pre-Revolutionary national lines, e.g. Czarist demographers thought that Crimean Tatars and Volga Tatars are the same people, and that Azerbaijani were also Caucasian Tatars

The Polish government, with a hand of yeltsinite traitors, killed the katyn issue and closed the discussion, even with new evidence coming as also proof of even german body transfers from volyn poles massacred to katyn.

Hello, anons, I'm creating this thread about what where you share some controversial views on have. I have some views that seems to clash with left leaning view and honestly I don't know how to reconcile my leftist views with those controversial views I have, here some topics that clash with leftist tendencies:

>immigration in general

I'm not against immigrants actually, but I do think bring millions of immigrants from very radical different culture is recipe for creating tension and division inside of a country

>genes and behaviors

Yeah, that one is a hard, I think genes play a strong role on human behavior, I actually told that to some leftist in real life and I got shot down by being called "eugenicist", only a gay dude agree with me because he says that he didn't choose to be gay, he was born that way and could see other behavior having gene influencing too

>religion

I don't support religion at all, I think they are reactionary as fuck, especially desert religions like christianity, judaism and islam are especially bad and very very reactionary and should be fought against.

So far as I remember those are to topics that cause me to clash with my leftist tendencies, do you have any opinions and views that you considered to clash with your progressive views?

I get the sense that a lot of you here are just utterly confused and have spent so much time on the internet that you can't even tell left from right anymore.

We should give up and accept the impending barbarism

Marx was a revolutionary theorist but a reformist in practice which he confirmed in his chauvinist official statements during the Franco-Prussian war, his absolute belief in bourgeois democracy and his rejection of "Marxism" against proto-ultras, to the point where he was arguing against abolishing child labor "too soon." It directly influenced Engels into teaching the Kautskys and the Bernsteins into doing what they did. This later continued with Leninism, which incorporated Bakunin, Russian-styled anarchism – characterized by strict discipline within professional revolutionary organizations – and melded the two. When other flavors of Marxists try to point at those as a big "betrayal" they only recognize the idealistic vision of Marx. This is a reoccurring theme among the left, idealizing a mystical version of the person rather than the actual person.

His theories are still valid because people can be right in their theory but wrong in practice. This is what helps separate it from great man worship. Rejection of this is a rejection of critical thinking, reducing you to a brainless ideologue.

The most important lesson from 20th century socialism is that there wasn't enough red terror… not by a long shot

I really really disagree with anarchism, but I also completely accept its compatibility with pre-existing western philosophy that primarily revolves around the individual. Communism will always be considered “le authoritarianism” in Europe and the US because people have been conditioned here for millenia to believe it’s intrinsically oppressive to have a concept of “the greater good” where if that is ever served then it’s only as a grave sacrifice.

To wit, when western rightists claim that western leftists are all about supporting “society” only until it cost them their own money, freedoms, sense of importance, etc are basically correct and the constant splits with leftist parties at least partially prove this.

I've noticed for a while now that trans people on average are much more likely to be communists or socialists. I've never really thought about it, but why could that be? I've had this image saved since early 2023 (when I started noticing this) and have seen a lot more trans communists since.
I mean, I guess it could be the hiring discrimination they face, but you don't need to change economic systems to introduce anti- discrimination legislation.

That's like saying heterosexual people never existed until industrial capitalism or for matter that "woman" and "man" never existed. Or it's also like saying "Black" or "white" people never existed before colonialism.

Of course, the bourgeois family never existed before industrial capitalism. But queer is a privative defined in terms of exclusion from straight bourgeois society. "Straight" is the social construct. Gay is not.

>>4114
>That's like saying heterosexual people never existed until industrial capitalism
That's true. Before the modern period, European society was much more sexually fluid and there were harsh punishments for sex acts that violated the moral law. Monks would mock 'marry' their cloister brothers while remaining celibate while sodomy was a mortal sin. Pederasty and child sexuality were common. Even then, the Church barely enforced punishments for sodomy until the Crusades, after which pederasty and sodomy became associated with 'Saracens' and Jews. Even the term 'heterosexual' was coined by Victorian sexologists like Krafft-Ebing as the mental disease of "excessive attachment to the opposite sex" way back in the 1880s.

>Or it's also like saying "Black" or "white" people never existed before colonialism.

If you were a Zulu tribesman in the 1600s, would you have identified yourself as a black person? As someone who's skin color was black? Its colonialism and enslavement that opened the door for a common black identity because it ripped enslaved Africans out of their native culture, severing their family ties, severing them from their language and region and placing them in a lower caste called 'black.' Its only through enslavement that people came to be classified according to their skin color and built a shared culture based on the class position they'd been forced into. There were no "black people" before colonialism. People saw themselves as Hausa, Igbo, Zulu etc. they related to their own tribes, languages, and religions, and practically everyone around them had dark skin, so there was no sense of being "black" as some special identifier. In texts written in native African languages like Ge'ez or Hausa, the authors never self identify as black.

>"Straight" is the social construct. Gay is not.

Straight and gay both go together. A straight person is someone who, by definition, is not gay and a gay person is someone who, by definition, is not straight. You can't know one without knowing the other. If queer is defined by exclusion from bourgeois society, then queer is a social construct because its contingent on bourgeois society for it to come into existence in the first place.

So were the Gayropoids much gayer in the before times, but stopped because it was what dirty brown barbarians did or not? Did Vatican punish it or not?

Reminder on Leftypol, that the mods put Gender ideology and Gender Idpol, above Socialism, Socialist theory or discourse. Only criticizing Gender Ideology, even from a theoretical position, results in a ban on this community.
Mean while Gender cultists are allowed to be misogynistic, Lesbophobic, Homophobic, are allowed to post degenerate misogynistic fetish sex shit against women, are allowed to abuse older women and post just all sorts of horrific shit, that if you said against the hon brigade that have turned leftypol into just another branch of /tttt/ you would get a lifetime ban immediately. The Gender Idpol bridgade, especially in the Britpol thread, denegrate Marx, they denegrate Engels, they denegrate Marxist theory if you ever bring up that Marx's and Engels or Materialist positions go against the Gender Idpol positions.
Classic Leftypol was always Gender Critical, Classic Leftypol always rejected (and ruthlessly mocked) Tumblr conception of Gender and Gender ideology, the vast majority of Socialist socities rejected Gender Ideology, the current position of the Communist Party of China considers it a Social Contagion, most Marxist parties on earth are Gender Critical, most major Marxist outlets are Gender Critical, most 3rd and 5th wave Feminists are Gender Critical.
Gender ideology is reactionary horseshit that the mods just jerk off over because they are part of the Gender cult.
There is no rules against being Gender Critical.
There is no ordinance against being Gender Critical.
The reason for this is the mods do not even want the debate on gender critical positions to happen, because they know that Gender ideology is reactionary incoherent godblygook that is rejected by most Marxists and Communists on the planet.
Stop being cowards, make an ordinance placing Gender ideology above all socialism and make it uncriticizable. Until then, you're just being total complete thin skinned pussies who are banning people for just disagreeing with your tumblr idpol beliefs.

>It entirely falls apart because it brings gender down to biology. So a woman is only defined by her cunt? Cool
Gender expression is a mix of material realities in regards to biology and biological sexual dimorphism with socialization aspect in roles, clothing etc. I don't see how this is a controversial statement beyond anybody but the gender cult who believe sex (not even gender) is 100% socialized and that you can literally just change that entire lifetime of socialization on a whim, yet refuse to extend such a position to race, which is far more an arbitary social role.
>>43458
Dude, anybody who has read the leftybritpol threads can see I've engaged in good faith relentlessly, while you Gender culties literally just respond with insane fucking SNARK.
I'm the literal fucking one that took a position of a legal third gender, and the left to argue for extention of gender norms within the sexes, while you gender culties are like "NOOOO EVERYONE HAS TO PLAY ALONG WITH STEREOTYPICAL GENDER ROLES AND IF YOU SAY YOU ARE THE OPPOSITE SEX AND DRESS AESTHETICALLY LIKE A PARODY VERSION OF THE OPPOSITE SEX YOU ARE!"
You've completely misread my position on Transmedicalism, which is that Transmedicalism at least has a basis in a more materialist basis, but still doesn't deal with the numerous social and philosophical or sheer logical issues in regards to… why should we be reinforcing dysphoric conditions or forcing others to play along with literal mental illness? Should we all play along with the delusions of Schizos? You types don't even support other forms of Dysphoric expression like "Pro-Ana"/Thinspo or Diaracial.

you repeatedly emphasize that you get nowhere trying to discuss this topic. let's say you're right about everything there is to say about gender: fine. rule 14g still applies. you know (or ought to know) that your posts are likely to create pointless and unconstructive arguments where people just snark at you, and on a topic that is unambiguously a question of identity politics. that is, in and of itself, sufficient grounds for your posts to be removed.

the reason people post snark and mock you is because nobody except you is interested in having this idpol discussion. the reason mods delete your posts is because they are rule breaking even when we make the most sympathetic assumptions possible, and they are disruptive enough that someone bothers to report them. the very fact you persist in trying to start arguments on this topic when nobody's taking the bait (going so far as to ban evade to try and keep them going) makes it impossible to believe you are acting in good faith. anyone acting in good faith would move on and engage with what the thread is actually discussing.

nobody cares about that you want the left to take the gunther fehlinger-jahn position on gender roles , nobody cares about the sociology of transracialism vs transgenderism, nobody cares about the philosophical and logical issues you imagine with something that's happening anyway, nobody cares about re-litigating the boundary between mental and physical illness, nobody cares to debate the appropriateness of your comparisons, nobody cares to answer your loaded questions, nobody cares about "the reality of someones lived experience" (and you accuse other users of being tumblrites?) on an anonymous board, nobody cares about what you find AGP subreddits, and nobody cares what random trans figures on twitter are doing. these are your interests, not the interests of the wider thread.

/leftybritpol/ is a thread for the discussion of left-wing british politics and society. it may intersect briefly with gender issues, such as when government institutions change policy, where political parties and figures adopt a position, or where there is a major news story, but it is not a thread for engaging with gender issues in depth.

Except it's you retards that keep creating this discussion by shitting on relentlessly anybody or any group part of the UK left that doesn't bow down to the TRA cult and all their demands to be the center of UK politics.
How can there not be a debate on Idpol when you freaks literally set fucking purity tests, that actual Socialist parties have to adhere to that Biological Women do not exist and the idea of Biological women is transphobic?
This is the fucking point, you retards are trying to force a fucking INSANE misogynistic position on behalf of a mental illness cult on the level of fucking spoonies, then have massive fucking cryfests when anybody pushes back.
I mean, how fucking dare scottish women protect their rights against a fucking cult that wanted to erase their biological existance from reality, the ultimate reactionaries according to leftybritpol.

it simply isn't true that people shit on groups or individuals who "doesn't [sic] bow down to the TRA cult and all their demands to be the center of uk politics.", people shit on groups or individuals who make arses of themselves. you can be as "gender critical" as you like and still conclude that adnan hussain's comments were a liability to your party or that getting the endorsement of prominent "gender critical" people did the communist party of britain no help at the last election.
nobody is demanding that these people adopt a radically pro-transgender policy platform. at the risk of arrogance, i would say the consensus position of the thread is that they should shut up and do nothing to attract attention over the issue one way or the other because it is boring.
the vast majority of "gender critical" demands are already government policy. they are already the consensus policy of the two parties which have governed this country for the last hundred years, plus the party most likely to displace both of them. there is nothing to be gained by loudly declaring one's agreement with the government and with most established institutions. (this applies to you too, by the way.)

you take a highly moralizing stance to issues that are more interesting when you look at them as the administrative matters that they are, suggestive of your own over-investment in the outcomes of their identity-politicking.
what "rights" were "scottish women" protecting? oh, right, their "right" to not have transwomen count as women when the scottish government sets a female quota on the boards of quangos (to which the government generally appoints wealthy cronies anyway). truly, a deeply important philosophical issue, a matter which all champions of the proletariat should rally behind instead of scorning as the worst sort of upper-class feminism, and, indeed, a very serious practical issue which i'm sure comes up regularly (wealthy transgender members of the scottish establishment politically allied to the SNP and angling for a quango job? there must be… one of them!)

you rarely challenge the points which are actually brought up. if i say that adnan hussain is an idiot for the optics of publicly agreeing with giga-zionist rosie duffield on gender issues when he could easily say nothing either way, his gender critical viPost too long.

one of the people there, who is a trans man, was talking about how they're a lesbian. it's at this point that I feel like an immense boomer, because in my head lesbian = women fucking women. can someone please enlighten me how this is supposed to work? does gender stop existing when SEX is involved? or is it just calling a spade a spade?

The "FTM lesbian" meme is the best way to get a cute gf as a straight trans man. Hate the game, not the players.

TL;DR they do it because they fear getting demonized as men

Kweer spaces push a lot of anti-man rhetoric, notice how gay men pretty much got exiled from the community. The same thing happens to trans men, they have to either accept that they're getting exiled from kweerness or they can cope and pretend to be lesbians. Additionally, there's also a lot of general woke lib demonization of men especially in "women and theys" groups that trans men are likely to inhabit pre/early transition.
I don't mention straight men specifically here because a lot of FTM "lesbians" are actually bisexual or sometimes even gay.

theyre men who after transitioning dont want to navigate dating spaces as a straight male (Or) men who want easy lesbian pussy by saying theyre a he/him lesbian

>>3944
because gender ideology as a whole is retarded and restrictive

Can someone give me non-bullshit explanation of how exactly Western PROLETARIAT benefits from imperialism?

The West exported their investments and know-how and helped in the industrialization of the third world. Not just China, but also SEA, Asian tigers, India, Brazil, Poland, Malaysia etc. This resulted in the exact opposite of what happened in colonialism. The Western industries were hollowed out this time, and outsourced to the third world. Now sure, the Western bourgie benefited from this, but the money didnt trickle down much. That's why in the 1970s you could support a family and live a decent life doing a simple blue collar job and now you cant. So where exactly did the Western PROLETARIAT benefit from this imperialism?

The majority of the working class around the world simply doesn't live in shacks with no plumbing now. It's uncommon outside of regions fraught by insurgency and war like Subsaharan Africa, because capitalism has in fact developed most of Asia and Latin America, and even Africa is going to become subject to such development as less profits can be extracted from the rest of the planet.

>>2551503
The inequities we face now are not the same everywhere, but they are part of the same tendencies of capitalism, government intervention absent

>>2551503
But that is the comparison you’re making, that you may have housing with all the modern amenities and safety standards including a limitation on how many people can occupy the property for fire safety, but you’re renting while third worlders have *higher* home ownership and that equalises in your mind despite said housing can range from a shack housing a family of 12 in Bangladesh to a Khrushchovka housing a couple in Eastern Europe?

>>2551523
My point isn't that anything is equal here. My point is that the position of proles in capitalist economies across the globe is very similar and it's not like USanos get a massive advantage over other proles from the purchasing power of the dollar that lets them mass purchase cheaper export commodities.

>>2551551
>Not equal just very similar
Lmao dude okay, that’s not even going into the point I just made that housing outside the west has a lot more variance in quality and safety than you’re suggesting.

I mean even in individual nations in Latin America and Asia, the variance in housing can be huge. Like there’s a big difference in an imperialised nation between the essentially western-tier middle class of people working for either western businesses siphoning off the resources or a domestic comprador business assisting to that end, and the lower class of people having to spend all their lives in the mines and the sweatshops.

The problem is, that “middle class” and the compradors who may enjoy a reasonably nice flat in the capital city or even a villa in the Mediterranean are all essentially employees of western corporations and thus their compensation reflects their salaries, not a level of development.

Nations that do manage to shrug off imperialism, at least to the degree that it does not preclude domestic investment and genuine development by a bourgeoisie, are all the no-no countries that are charged with rocking the geopolitical boat vis-a-vis multipolarism and the imperial states must prepare for armed conflict with.

Colombia releases US drone strike survivor, claiming no evidence links him to drug trafficking
The prosecution opened a preliminary investigation into Obando’s alleged involvement in drug trafficking, but was forced to drop this because “until now, they didn’t find any evidence or testimony that could indicate that this person committed a crime on national territory,” a prosecution source told El Pais. If the former suspect was involved in criminal activity, as claimed by the US Government, the prosecutors received no evidence of this.

Bolivian top court annuls former interim president sentence and orders her immediate release
Court President Romer Saucedo told the media on Wednesday that the sentence was annulled based on “several arguments” and the vote of seven of the nine justices. Saucedo explained that the decision was based on finding “violations” of due process during Áñez’s trial through ordinary legal channels. Áñez was convicted for her role in assuming the presidency in a controversial National Assembly session following the deadly 2019 protests that led to the resignation of then-president Evo Morales (2006-2019).

FAA to cut flights by 10% at 40 major airports due to government shutdown
The closure has also raised concerns about already thin staffing among air traffic controllers, the FAA said. Insufficient staffing at some FAA facilities has disrupted some flights since Oct. 1. Earlier this week, Duffy told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that he could “shut the whole airspace down” if the shutdown drags on.

Tuesday’s Election Result Is a Rebuke of Trump More than an Enthusiastic Embrace of Democrats
The election results in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York have put wind in the sails of a Democratic Party that has been on the defensive since Trump’s re-election. For the more moderate Democratic Party pundits and politicians, the victories confirm their belief that a populist, anti-woke platform is the way to go. Spanberger opened her victory speech with the assertion that her campaign “sent a message to our neighbors and across the country…and the whole world, that in 2025 Virginia chose pragmatism over partisanship.” Sherrill, for her part, centered her acceptance speech on “prosperity,” tying appeals to America’s “democratic” tradition to people’s need for economic security. She added that the election shows that “we’re not going to give into our darker impulses,” without naming the transphobic, racist, and anti-immigrant vitriol which defined much of her Republican opponent’s campaign and Trump’s politics. Democratic Representative and House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, who two days ago told CNN anchor Jake Tapper that the future of the Democratic wasn’t Zohran Mamdani, but the House Democratic caucus, said on Tuesday night that Democrats “won all over the country talking about the affordability crisis.” An ABC News article confirms that the races in Virginia and New Jersey centered on the issue of affordability, but the discourse about how to resolve it is much different in these states than in New York.

Italian Fascists’ Love Affair With Israel Started Long Before Giorgia Meloni
Few nations have such a disconnect between the public and the state when it comes to Palestine as Italy. The Italian government is one of just three – the others are Germany and the United States – that have continued to supply major conventional weapons to Israel since 2020. Alongside attack helicopters, naval guns and parts for Israel’s F-35 fighter jets, Italy’s prime minister Giorgia Meloni has continued to provide diplomatic cover to her Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, refusing to take even the symbolic step ofPost too long.
