R: 9 / I: 1

You are kulak. What do?

You are a wealthy peasant, called a kulak, who owns many hectares of land. You have 10,000 bushels of grain as a harvest. The soviet government is going to take your 10,000 bushels of grain and redistribute them to the 1000 people in your countywide region (called rayon in Russia). You are one of these people, so you will get 10 bushels for subsistence if it is redistributed. The government plans to eventually collectivize your farm after the civil war.

Is it in your material interests to

A: burn the grain rather than see it redistributed, "If I can't have 100% of it, nobody gets any% of it" and then flee the country before they can execute you.

or

B: Let the government distribute the grain and leave you with subsistence, and hope you survive.

To me, the obvious choice is B, but many here might say that B would be the kulak going against his own class interests, and therefore not predictable by Marxist theory.

What will happen when Trump invades Cuba?

Unfortunately after choking Cuba for months after starving it for 67 years Trump is probably going to invade Cuba because after getting humiliated by Iran it s clear that this sociopath wants to reestablish his dominance and the American Empires dominance by doing regime change in Cuba, there is no justification for doing this other than the fact that America is a rouge state. It is not looking good for the Cuba because it is obvious that all of the Latin American vassals won't do anything, Putin will probably promise not to do anything in exchange for more of Ukraine, and China will condemn the invasion but China still trades with Israel so they won't do anything. So Cuba is on its own but what will happen because unlike in Venezuela were there was opposition parties and stuff I don't think that the US will be able to work with parts of the government so who knows what they will do, and if there is a state of war the obvious thing to do would be for Cuba do what Iran did and punish the Florida keys but Cuba has no missiles but they have tons of Soviet-era tanks so maybe they will try to retake Guantanamo bay. And technology has advances since the Bay of Pigs invasion so Amerikkka will probably target civilians with drones and since we live in hell all of the Guanos will cheer as Trump blows up their extended family members. But what do you think will happen?

So, it appears that despite the most common assumptions, labour "aristocratic"/well paid workers can and have been notable partecipants in the class struggle, everywhere from Italy to Chile and from the UK to South Africa

> The most important counter-example is the Russian working class in the early 20th century. The backbone of Lenin’s Bolsheviks (something he was most definitely aware of) were the best paid industrial workers in the Russian cities – skilled machinists in the largest factories. Lower paid workers, such as the predominantly female textile workers, were generally either unorganized or apolitical (until the beginnings of the revolution) or supported the reformist Mensheviks.

> German Communism became a mass movement when tens of thousands of well-paid metal workers left the Independent Socialists and joined the Communists in 1921. The French and Italian Communists also became mass parties through the recruitment of thousands of machinists who led the mass strikes of the postwar period. These highly paid workers were also overrepresented in the smaller Communist parties of the United States and Britain.

> In Chile between 1970 and 1973, and Argentina between 1971 and 1974, copper miners and metal workers engaged in industrial struggles and took the lead in mass mobilizations against the military and the right. In Brazil, it was the well-paid metal workers in the suburbs of San Paolo who led mass strikes in the 1970s that created the CUT

> it was the highest paid Black workers in South Africa – in mining, auto, steel – whose struggles in the 1970s created the radical and militant FOSATU trade union confederation.

The Real Reason We Don’t See Protest Music Anymore

The question of why Trump’s Iran war hasn’t sparked a wave of anti-war protest music is actually very simple.

The overall American left has been stuck when it comes to effective anti-war activism. The way the US does war nowadays isn’t Vietnam but El Salvador: instead of sending in a bajillion troops to invade/occupy the US just funds proxy armies and now uses drone/aerial warfare. That’s what Obama did in Syria last decade, for instance.

The anti-war music we’re all used to was very much a product of the 60s New Left, and there was no 60s New Left without the Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam War. The youth were afraid of being drafted into a bullshit war that the U.S. couldn’t win. But we don’t see mass boots on the ground today, and because of that, we don’t see a mass response to war in the cultural realm. In order for Billie Eilish to be “John Lennon”, Iran needs to be Vietnam (Gd forbid). In order for Kehlani to make a “What’s Going On?” or a “Someday We’ll All Be Free” Iran needs to be Vietnam. The war needs to conform to a method of warfare that the left knows how to effectively oppose. It’s morbid and disgusting but that’s sadly the case.

And assuming the “woke” pop stars make music in response to this conflict, what will it contain? It won’t be universalist anti-war or anti-imperialist anthems but centre entirely on “I hate Trump, this war is about Epstein, AIPAC bad”. Will be highly dated in three years once Trump and his goons leave office.

Bikini Armor is something of a staple of chud discourse and many gamers will refuse to play games that don't feature it, but at this point it is something that future game devs predicting a pro-chud vibe shift will include in their games. Especially games being developed in 2024 where chuddery was at it's most potent. Yet somehow I still think that bikini armor propaganda will still be a potent force in future politics now that even centrist men will berate you for not having hoes in bikini armor.

Questions about dialectics

I recently started reading Lukacs's ontology of a social being and my whole understanding of dialectics has been flipped.

Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites). The argument is very "physicalist" and relies on seeing nature as a totality in constant mutation.

HOWEVER, Lukacs seems to completely disregard this. Instead, his dialectics could be best described by the following : Any individual has multiple possibilities to realize his "teleological acts" (conscious acts aimed at satisfaction of desires/needs/sustenance etc). Alienation occurs when he is constrained by an external cause to choose a possibility unsatisfactory compared to others. As such, the dialectic is essentially a movement between the individual who attempts to overcome this alienation, which translates into class war (proletariat see capitalism as irrational for them, but are forced to endure it => conflict with the bourgeoisie).

So, which is it ? Lukacs' dialectics imo can be reconciled with Engels, but it makes the latter's work appear as very superficial.

Nostalgia cartoons that hold up

I was watching a cartoon from my child and realized that the saturday morning cartoon generation lucked out. Other than some outliers like avatar or adventuretime, the good stuff was 90s-early naughty aughties. This is not just nostalgia but demonstrably true as merch from these cartoons is still popular as ever for kids. I work as a substitute teacher and they still watch our old cartoons and it's actually super weird, I didn't watch captain kangaroo or whatever boomer crap my mom watched when i was a kid.

Batman Beyond Yeah, Batman is a billionaire who has kids running around in tights in his mansion and beats up environmentalists and poor people. But I'll always love the gimmicks and his "rouge's gallery" has the best gimmicks.
Batman Beyond he's not rich he's just a regular kid living in a much cooler dystopia than the one we wound up with. The animation and voice acting are both top notch.
Gargoyles- From the same animation bloc, with some legendary voice acting from Keith David, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes. A very 'serious' show that Disney wants us to forget that they ever produced.
ReBoot Ever what wonder what life inside a computer would be like if all the 0s and 1s were sentient? Well, a show like this will make a tech nerd scream but it's one of several quality early 3d CGI coming out of Canada during this period.
Animaniacs It's honestly amazing how much SFW 'adult' humor was snuck into these shows. I think I learned more about popculture from Wakko, Yakko, and Dot than anywhere else.
The SlayersThe first "real" anime I saw and it got me interested in anime and d&d style worlds.Pretty thought out lore and universe.

Games the chuds tricked you into buying

With the amount of shill threads about Stellar Blade I kept seeing on 4chan /v/ saying it was a "decent action game" I ended up buying it along with some other games for my brother's birthday last year (at great expense as it's a modern video game and all). He never touched it so I finally gave the demo a go myself to see if it was worth the hype.

It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one. It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that. I had more fun with Devil's Third of all games.

Romance & Love thread

Figured I made a thread to share our romantic experiences – or lack of thereof, – opinions, wishes and advice. That is part of the whole LGBT experience besides the sex and gender.

I reached mid 20s with barely any experience, autism made sure of that. Kissed a drunk lesbian once, I don't even think I looked that cute for a guy in his 20s, so I was honored more than anything. Broke up a friendship with a trans girl after some hasty choices, but she was crazy anyways. Now focusing on friends, making and deepening them.

Wish I had a man I understood and was understood by, someone light-hearted and whimsical to have fun with on the short time I have here on Earth. Femboy-ish ig, not masculine, but takes care of himself, with a touch of femininity to him. Impartial on sex, willing to do it, might be fun even.

One thing I like is the idea of relations as temporary, serial monogamy if you will. I'm all for loyalty while in a relation, but that doesn't necessarily mean it must be forever and ever. People change, why shouldn't their relations? Admittedly I do see the romance in a lifelong relation, sticking with someone and changing together with them. Besides looking for a new partner every x amount of years sounds exhausting.

NSW’s highest court strikes down anti-protest law introduced in wake of Bondi beach terror attack
The court of appeal handed down its findings on Thursday after three activist groups – the Blak Caucus, the Palestine Action Group and Jews Against the Occupation ’48 – filed a constitutional challenge in early January against the legislation. The law, known as the public assembly restriction declaration or Pard, was passed in the wake of the Bondi beach terror attack in which 15 people were killed. It meant protesters could not use the form 1 system – a notice of intention to the police to hold a public assembly - in areas designated by police for up to three months after a terrorist attack, effectively meaning protesters could not march without the risk of arrest.

Communist or Commie Adjacent Shows

Hello Sisters and Brothers, I'm looking for some recommendations for TV shows to watch that have a communist tilt to them, or are straight up communist.

It has been such a pain in the ass trying to watch a show that isn't either subtly Zionist or just straight up pro-US imperialism. Watching Scrubs and the Afghanistan war episode comes up. Watching Modern Family and there's constant references to Bar Mitzvahs (with Israeli flags). Watching fucking Hannah Montana and there's a Afghan war episode. Like I know that's ridiculous to mention but I'm trying to say the rot runs deep in essentially every piece of media we watch

I have included The Good Place as good example because although it's not explicitly communist, it is a show all about how Capitalism has made the world hell and only revolution can solve the problem but it still kinda distances itself from that by saying "revolution in the afterlife only". Still the best we've got

Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to watch?

Mama Luigi will not be going to trial and the bourgeois media isn't saying it outloud

It's because of their own system this is the case too. It helps that Luigi was an attractive man from a privileged background, but he never even went to trial for that to matter. He isn't some business tycoon too dangerous to lose, he didn't hire the best lawyers, femcels aren't strapping bombs to themselves in protest for Chad although that'd be hilarious.

No, the charges were dropped because by the very nature of the bourgeois court systems, there's nothing worth doing. He's too public a figure now, and it would be a shit show the entire time and completely unravel the arbitrary and selective enforcement of contradictory laws over 300 years of documentation of court interpretation. Whatever judge would touch it, would easily be countered by another judge, and all the same it would be impossible to wrangle a jury that's cooperative in just giving him the plain guilty verdict they'd so want. Out of the four charges, the only ones that have stuck are the stalking ones against Brian Thompson and that's nothing. That's baby shit misdemeanors. I've been accused of stalking before.

You won't hear about his civil case and even than that might not even happen. If anything at all happens to Luigi it'll be a harmless fine. The lesson here is if you go to kill someone, make sure the whole world is watching. Which is why the cointelpro fags tell you "fedposting". They want you scared, when really they're the ones who are scared. Their entire system relies on your cooperation and why would you cooperate when you do not benefit? That's retarded.

Deny the allegations and facts not conducive to your wants

Buddhism doesn't get enough flack

Buddhism is fucking predatory as shit, only saved by the fact that its buzzwords are parroted around. Seems like it was rightfully criticized since early Hinduism until the 1900s where it got syncretized because of opportunism. Really don't believe it's compatible with socialism, especially with it's buzzwords like "mindfullness" and "manifestation" becoming commonplace.
15th century monk
>He was known for his crazy methods of enlightening other beings, mostly women, which earned him the title "The Saint of 5,000 Women". Among other things, women would seek his blessing in the form of sexual intercourse.
>He is credited with introducing the practice of phallus paintings in Bhutan and placing statues of them on rooftops to drive away evil spirits. He is also known for Chimi Lhakhang, the temple of fertility.
20th century monk
>He drank, smoked, slept with students, and often kept students waiting for hours before giving teachings.
>Some of his own methods and actions, particularly his heavy drinking, sexual predation, and his ordering of the sexual assault (forced stripping) of a student and his girlfriend, caused controversy during his lifetime and afterward.
>Trungpa often combined drinking with teaching. In some instances Trungpa was too drunk to walk and had to be carried. Also, according to his student John Steinbeck IV and his wife, on a couple of occasions Trungpa's speech was unintelligible. One woman reported serving him "big glasses of gin first thing in the morning."
>The Steinbecks wrote The Other Side of Eden, a sharply critical memoir of their lives with Trungpa in which they claim that, in addition to alcohol, he spent $40,000 a year on cocaine, and used Seconal to come down from the cocaine. The Steinbecks said the cocaine use was kept secret from the wider Vajradhatu community.
>19th century monk
>Other behavior was troubling as well. As one scholar who has studied the community noted, Tendzin was "bisexual and known to be very promiscuous" and "enjoyed seducing straight men" but the community "did not find [this behavior] particularly troublesome." Not all his partners were unwilling; one scholar noted "it became a mark of prestige for a man, gay or straight, to have sex with the Regent, just as it had been for a woman to have sex with [Trungpa] Rinpoche", but at least one student reported that Tendzin had raped him. As a former Vajradhatu member attested, "a chilling story had recently been reported by one of … [the] teachers at the Buddhist private school [for the Vajradhatu community]. This straight, married male was pinned face-down across Rich's desk by the guards [the Dorje Kasung] while Rich forcibly raped him."
>It was revealed in 1989 that Tendzin had contracted HIV and for nearly three years knew it, yet continued to have unprotected sex with his students without informing them. He transmitted it to a student who later died of AIDS. Others close to Tendzin, including Vajradhatu's board of directors, knew for two years that Tendzin was HIV-positive and sexually active but kept silent.
Apparently early Hinduism had criticized Buddhism for it's weird practices too.
>In turn, Hindu theologians like Adi Śaṅkara, Kumārila Bhaṭṭa and various Nyaya school philosophers (like Vātsāyana) likewise critiqued Buddhist thought in their various works. Śaṅkara accuses the Buddha of being "a man given to make incoherent assertions" and "propound absurd doctrines."
A play criticizing heterodox Hindu sects and Buddhist sects that were becoming common back in the 800s
>It is widely held that Mahendra’s play is a satire of the degenerate sects of his day. For example, both the Kapalika and Pasupata sects must have been considered peculiar during Mahendra’s reign, and the king satirizes them in his play. The Kapalikas embodied a serious, yet suspect, religious concept: Tantrism where religious enlightenment is attained through unorthodox rituals. Some of these notorious rituals were Madya (liquor) and Maithuna (ritual intercourse). Meanwhile, these rituals are satirically echoed by Nagasena, the Buddhist monk, who wonders why Buddhism disallows liquor and women.
A 12th century criticism from a book cataloguing Kashmiri history
>The monasteries became rich with the gifts of kings and nobles, and the guardians of these establishments ceased to observe their discipline. They became attached to comfort and luxury.
Observations of Jesuits on Buddhists in China
>This suspicion was deepened by the Confucian moralists’ opinion that Buddhist monks did not duly respect gender segregation. Buddhist clerics often encouraged female lay devotees to leave their secluded apartments to visit their temples or go on pilgrimages. They also visited the women in their private quarters to expound the sutras to them and edify them with religious talks. These transgressions of Confucian gender boundaries were interpreted by literati as a sign of moral inferiority and thus contributed to the monks’ bad reputation.
Criticism of Buddhists in Korea
>In 1479, Censor General Sŏng Hyŏn (1439–1504) listed four Buddhist monks who had committed lustful behavior or committed fornication with lay women under the guise of prayer rituals and argued that women should be banned from contact with Buddhist monks. The women, whom Sŏng mentioned, included the concubine of a yangban man, the wife of a high official, nuns, the sister of a yangban man, and even the wife of a man belonging to the royal lineage. The female body was the locus of anti-Buddhist criticism that rendered Buddhist ritual activities immoral and incompatible with Confucian values.
>The wrangling over immoral rituals on Mount Kŭmsŏng between King Sŏngjong and the court officials continued. In 1487, the officials again warned that “on Mount Kŭmsŏng, in addition to an official prayer hall set up for the government’s ritual worship, there are five or six more private halls, and a crowd of yangban women from nearby villages gather around and stay [there], so [some men] even lose their wives”.

1. Most Lgbtqianons people are okay with it

Honest question (NOT trolling):

What exactly should the western left do for Palestine that they haven’t already been doing for the past 2.5 years (or even longer for that matter)?

I’ve seen Palestinian activists say “we need to do more to stop the genocide” more times than I can count. But what should we feasibly be doing that we’re not doing already? Boycotts? Mass protests? Blockading arms sales? Policing your peers’ consumer habits so they’re compliant with BDS? Making lists of politicians who receive money from AIPAC and voting them out? We’ve done this already. In NYC, there was a mass protest every fucking weekend where we were told to “escalate for Gaza” yet we never escalated; I don’t even fucking know what “escalate” is supposed to mean. Were we supposed to be engaging in violent riots and molotoving the banks or whatever?

I asked this to a comrade of mine and he said: “You know what we mean when we want the left to do more for Palestine.” By that, he clearly means engage in political violence, bring back the Weathermen. But how would ultra-left adventurism do anything? Elias Rodriguez did exactly this and is now facing life in prison for killing two interns who were replaced the next day. What a fucking waste.

The American left is way too weak, disorganized, and incompetent to do anything meaningful to help the Palestinians resist or stop Israel. It’s gotten to the point where people are putting all their hope and faith in the idea Israel will collapse on its own because they’ve run out of strategies. So what should the left be doing that it’s not doing already? Give clear examples.

I want everyone to notice how good the bourgeoisie are at getting us to reframe their destruction, waste, planned obsolescence, and artificial scarcity as a conflict between Luddites and Malthusians.

The capitalist want us to argue over whether a human being or a piece of technology is more wasteful, but technology exists to be used as a tool by human beings to abridge labor processes. Everywhere you see technology being used to DESTROY rather than CREATE (i.e. in war, in wasteful data centers, in perfectly good food getting throw in locked dumpsters, etc.) the problem is not the existence of the technology itself but the MODE OF PRODUCTION

Comrades, a sober reminder in these heated times.

We've all seen the rhetoric. Decentralized madness occurring. Calls to "seize the moment," to escalate tactics, to join with unknown provocateurs who promise militancy. But let's be clear, revolution is not sabotage, not a spontaneous outburst. History teaches us that adventurism, detached from mass conditions, serves only the state. It isolates the vanguard, burns our networks energies, and gives the bourgeoisie the pretext for crackdowns.

If things heat up with all these acts of sabotage and violence occurring in the last week, do not be swept away by emotion. Do not join with those who talk of violence but have no deep roots in the working class. Do not get pushed into death and jail by Maoists and Anarchists. Stay disciplined. Stay organized. The real work is patient, collective, and legal. Anything else is a trap. Resist the urge to be heroic. The revolution will not be won by fire, terror and bullets. It will be won by the slow, unglamorous building of dual power.

Don't let the adventurists lead you into ruin. Keep your head down. Trust the party. Trust the process. Thank you!

The DNA kits, used to collect blood samples for identity verification, had been routinely sent overseas for nearly two decades, allowing individuals unable to travel to Buenos Aires to access testing. They were taken back to Argentina via diplomatic pouch. But since Milei took office in December, shipments have largely ceased, sources told EFE with identity investigations now proceeding only through formal judicial channels.

Mulino government seeks to dissolve Panama’s largest union, workers say
Although the workers managed to sustain their protests for several weeks, the Panamanian justice system initiated a series of legal proceedings against SUNTRACS leaders, forcing its top leader to flee the country to avoid possible arrest, as well as the prosecution of several others. The union has denounced these trials as “lawfare” aimed at persecuting militant workers.

Are master's programs really just cash cows like everyone keeps telling me?

Tldr all the arguments I hear against doing one:
>costs too much
>easier admissions process
>bad quality of education
>more debt
>can get a job without one anyways
>mainly used by internationals to game visas
>most jobs dont require it

But, I cant help but feel a lot of this is cope from people that dont have one. It has to help get more interviews easier and the wages are probably higher.

I got an admit into UCLA and feel like I should take it. My undergrad was in a shittier state school and the rep would help me out. But its going to be 40grand and dont know if Im just about to get scammed

Epistein was right about everything. Never said he was a good person, just that he was right. These wannabe feds need they kids eaten and their kidneys sold.

But the good news is they don't have to have their kidneys extracted if they just financially reimburse us because judiciary penalties are stupid and bourgeois. Death penalty is a circus act noone even gets to see, and prison is just free labor and while I'm all for working the janny to death, the fact is they live at home picking at their belly button which is how they have the time to harass sweet little discordian kittens like you all who dindu nuffin.

So they should just pay us and get on their hands and knees and beg for our forgiveness.

is he right?

>Fresh controversy is brewing after Errol Musk claimed that Jeffrey Epstein is still alive, calling the official account of his 2019 jail death “absurd.” Speaking during his visit to Russia, he pointed to alleged security lapses and revived long-standing conspiracy theories surrounding one of the most debated cases in recent years.
>The claim has triggered strong reactions online, with many questioning the narrative while others dismiss it outright.

lets go thru the allegations
>witness at the prison made a post on 4chan. he saw jeffry epstein being taken out of his room the night before. he said the bodies might have been switched. whats suspicious is that in the epstein files we saw that the FBI subpoena 4chan and all his accounts to find the witness.

Mamdani Fatigue

Fuck this guy. I’m tired of seeing liberals and even “principled” leftists like Jacobin Mag prop him up as the greatest thing to happen to American leftism, like he’s sone kind of modern-Day William Z Foster.

In reality, Mamdani is a total fraud. He’s pandered to Zionists even before taking office. Then after taking office he’s sucked up to Chabad-Lubavitcher which is a satanic racist Jewish supremacist org with ties to the Russian mafia and Zionist entity. Why? He’s even thrown his own wife under the bus for working with Palestinian liberation activist Susan Abdulhawa. I guess he thinks kosher feelings outweigh Palestinian lives. He hasn’t done anything he’s promised in making NYC a cheaper and easier place to live. And yet delusional leftists still love and support him.

If Mamdani was truly principled he’d make it illegal to be a Zio in NYC. Semd police to monitor all synagogues for promoting Zionism. Track donations to the IOF from Jewish orgs. Fully divest NYC from the Zionist entity and all companies that do business with the Zionist entity. Get ICE to deport anyone with Zionist entity citizenship ( I hear there are a lot of them in Brooklyn and Queens). Ban AIPAC and all other pro-Zionist groups. Shut down businesses like Eichler’s which routinely sell Zionist products.

Mamdani ran on the basis of defying the Zionist Lobby so he needs to keep his promises.

about the situation in Hungary, obviously they voted in a stooge, there is no doubt about that, it's a fate shared by most countries in the periphery. however, this time around it seems that it is not a CIA stooge? rather someone blessed by Western European capital?

I've seen that this new PM is a strong proponent of the Euro (it probably benefits WE MNCs when particular countries no longer can engage in currency devaluations), he's also, of course, in favour of militarism, procurement and stocking up of armaments, and condemns "Russian imperialism" (whatever that means, he fails to notice that it's primarily western countries that support imperialistic attitudes, not Russia). also notice how all western newspapers had propped him up prior to the election (for example: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/25/the-time-is-here-the-ex-government-insider-shaking-up-hungarian-politics), they are all bought but still they wouldn't be able to do that if he were labeled the enemy of moneyed interests

We have arguably reset back to a time right around the time of marx's life or right after his death. The 1990s free market triumphalism ended in 2008 but the new era also does not resemble the cold war era. We are back in an era of great powers, but the social democratic compromise has mostly broken down. Massive levels of financialization. Workers have no parties for themselves, and the labor movement is weak but burgeoning.

We need to go back to the mass socialist parties before the 1914 split, SPD, SPA, PSOE etc. Though these parties have mostly degenerated into capitalist parties that don't even claim marxism anymore or just dont exist like the SPA, new attempts are currently starting at building new mass marxist parties, DSA in america, die linke in germany etc.

Attempts at trying to replicate a highly disciplined leninist vanguard have just repeatedly resulted hundreds of tiny sects. that stay irrelevant and go nowhere. We need to retrace our steps back to the late 19th century, and stop trying to create yet another vanguard book club with 5 people

Working Class Power

If the working class doesn’t take power, it will have to live under barbarism. It’s a choice between workers’ power—which is to say a global socialist republic emerging from each nation of the earth installing their own dictatorship of the proletariat—or a third world war that could go nuclear. We cannot live under capitalism any longer and there is no hope for humanity under the decay of the American empire. We need the workers to take power, installing a workers’ government; otherwise, we are faced with death, fascism, ecological collapse, militarism, war, colonialism, and a farcical system where people are exploited in the names of profit. Join a socialist party and help build the real revolutionary movement. For socialism! Ad astra!

Israeli forces number Palestinian women’s hands during Jenin invasion
The women, along with nearly 40,000 Palestinians, have been forcibly expelled by Israeli forces from Jenin and other camps in the northern West Bank following a military offensive that began in January 2025. The invasion has left much of the camps in ruins, while large areas remain inaccessible, with troops permanently stationed there. The 120 women were allowed into the camp for less than two hours, much of which was spent undergoing searches and waiting under heavy military surveillance, while following predetermined routes.

Rattled by Trump, US allies eye Japan’s biggest arms opening since WW2
Despite largely isolating itself from global arms markets since World War II, Japan spends enough on its own military – US$60 billion (S$76 billion) in 2026 – to sustain a sizeable defence industry capable of manufacturing advanced systems such as submarines and fighter jets. Among the potential new customers are the Polish military and Philippine navy, which are undergoing modernisation amid regional security challenges, according to Reuters interviews with Japanese officials and foreign diplomats in Tokyo.

The three typhoons hit the country from July 16 to 24, 2025—nearly a year ago. “Instead of taking action, the agency led on the victims in the repressive and deliberately sluggish bureaucracy,” the group said. The agency allegedly passed on to the urban poor the technical tasks such as forming the masterlist, which should’ve been the government’s responsibility.
