Why does every single transfem character in media make me feel so miserable?
I know I should be happy that people like me are getting more representation but im not. Everytime I see a character like brigette from guilty gear im just reminded how ill never be as pretty as her, and how ill never be as confident and happy as her.
Even that one movie I Saw The TV Glow which every trans person was raving about made me feel worse than any other piece of media has ever made me feel before. It felt like the movie itself was mocking me for being too cowardly to transition, and basically telling me that I was gonna suffer and be unhappy forever until I die.

This is probably a stupid question.
Is it possible for the globe to prioritize growth of the means of production sufficiently to allow for development of the developing world, and countries like China, without having deindustrialization of the developed world? I'm thinking of things like shifting production towards the manufacture of manufacturies, and the mass education of personnel. Something like creating the jobs and the consumers simultaneously.
Obviously there are constraints on resource, which only advancement of the means of production can eventually solve. But there's no rightful moral code that says that the developed countries are more entitled to these resources than the developing world. Could it be that within these limits that aggregate consumption could be grown on this model?
Is it possible that this can be done within the capitalist mode of production? It seems that this might be close to what the Soviet Union was capable of doing within its borders.
Global Industrialization without Deindustrialization
>I’m doing this because I want my factory worker to buy my cars. If they make enough money, they’ll buy my own product.This is probably a stupid question.

The least violent way this ends
Balkanization comes with many risks but it is the least violent way this evil empire ends. Liberalism is basically dead at this point so we can't vote our way out. The left has a mental health crisis and is incapable of fully mobilizing, and while that is even more true for the far right they have the backing of the Trump regime. This seems to be our best shot.

The thing is, because all his online content is extremely complex, technical post-grad level university lectures, it's hard to get his idea's out there. Which I think why as Socialists, we should try present his arguments, theories and evidence in a far more presentable, digestable, ELI5 fashion for Normies.
What made classic Leftypol good is that we were able to present Socialist content for normies that would be shared by Zoomers and such. So I think a good project for us on this board, would be to work How the World Works (https://libgen.rocks/ads.php?md5=0f775aef8cbe24a8978e115669bfcdfb) into a decent Youtube series that explains how we can build a new economic order in the not too distant future.
Cockshott is probably the best Socialist theorist of our age
he's completely BTFO'ed all arguments against Marx's Law of Value, he's empirically proven that Economic Planning is 100% possible with current data sets and modern computation, he's shown that current economic theory is based on complete woo that doesn't hold up to basic mathematical scrutiny or even basic logic.The thing is, because all his online content is extremely complex, technical post-grad level university lectures, it's hard to get his idea's out there.

History never ended to begin with. History does not end. History always moves forward.
The idea of the "end of history" was the ideology embedded in the United States due to being under the omnipresent eye of their capitalist overlords during the fall of the Soviet union. The United States deluded itself into believing that history was over what 9/11 was was an awakening from this phantasmagoria. 9/11 was the tipping point for the United States, imo from the heights of the 90s consumer culture to where we are today.

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.
Is there anything else happening?

>Spot who is attacking us.
>Start investigating them promptly for felonies or worse using own professionals, not outside agencies.
>Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them.
>Start feeding lurid, blood, sex, crime actual evidence on the attackers to the press.
>Don't ever tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make it rough, rough on attackers all the way. You can get "reasonable about it" and lose. Sure we break no laws. Sure we have nothing to hide. BUT attackers are simply an anti-Scientology propaganda agency so far as we are concerned. They have proven they want no facts and will only lie no matter what they discover. So BANISH all ideas that any fair hearing is intended and start our attack with their first breath. Never wait. Never talk about us—only them. Use their blood, sex, crime to get headlines. Don't use us. I speak from 15 years of experience in this. There has never yet been an attacker who was not reeking with crime. All we had to do was look for it and murder would come out.
Scientology's tactics to grow the left
Scientology is interesting because it is literally bullshit. But can we use their tactics to grow the left? Why is it so hard for something based in reason to work while something that isn't fails?>Spot who is attacking us.

Tribals enter some of the city's northwest areas. They suffer heavy casualties and retreat from the city on the same day.
Straggler tribals launch a few attacks on Druze villages here and there, nothing significant.
Overall ceasefire holds up after that. STG prevents further entry of tribals and their numbers keep dwindling.

Does anybody else not understand why they find guys attractive? I recently came across a video that said "straight men just dont understand what women and gay men find attractive in males" and it made me realize that I couldnt even identify what it is about men that im even attracted too.
I definitley know when i find another guy attractive, but I usually couldnt explain why. My tastes in men arent even very coherent, I like feminine men, but I also like buff hairy dudes, and I also like incels. My attraction to men makes no logical sense

After a few weeks I started getting automated CP attacks. At first I was upset and just deleted it all and contemplated turning off the server for a few days.
But then I got mad and figured out exactly how their attacking and figured out how to block it.
For what its worth I know what tool they attack with even but that doesn't help much. I also reported all the IPs to the appropriate abuse emails but thats a black hole.
I messaged who ever runs the lefty pol twitter but got no reply.
I want to share my defence methods with leftypol in a way that attackers can't see how I did it (i dont wanna publish it on git or something). Message me back on twitter if your interested in automated CP blocking, it supprisingly wasn't that hard.

The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.
Porky has put a lot of effort since the Vietnam War to avoid making Amerikkkans feels the impacts of US wars of aggression to great success. Despite the amount of conflicts the US is involved in as we speak, anti-war sentiment is negligable. There was nothing like the anti-war movement during Vietnam, which by itself wasn't even strong enough to end the war either. It was the Vietnamese who militarily defeated the US that ended the war.
Amerikkkan reliance on proxies and mercs is the key to maintain the Empire. If they can make China's neighbours fight them in their stead, they they can win, and have East Asia plundered, like they have plundered Eastern Europe since the 90s, to give capitalism another 50 years.
China has failed to counter this problem completely, letting country after country on their borders fall into US hands in recent years. Once friendly countries turned into enemies.
China's rebranded 'socialism in one country' strategy isn't enough to resist US aggression. The US doen't need to do much to blockade Chinese shipping, and block all imports from entering the mainland. Going from "random" drone boats sent from US vallal states, to airstrikes and piracy conducted by US forces themselves, which they have been training for through the recent attacks on Russian and Venezuelan ships.
China can't retaliate against this adequately, due to their lack of bases or proxies of their own around Amerikkkan territory.
China's complete neglegt of this danger may be its downfall. For all their greatness, they cannot last against a neval blockade, land siege and hybrid warfare, the US has been preparing for.
This is why solidarity is so important. Supporting comrades in other countries isn't about kindness. It ensures you will not be attacked by brothers turned against you.
Meanwhile, the global bourgeoisie has shown extreme amounts of solidarity amongst themselves, to great effectiveness. They are very unified, especially compared to the 1910s, unlike us.
Here's how China may actually still lose
Sounds crazy, I know, but I think Xi-fans should at least consider the flaws of China's "Do nothing, win" strategy, and how it may paradoxically still lead to its undoing.The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.

Meanwhile, the global bourgeoisie has shown extreme amounts of solidarity amongst themselves, to great effectiveness. They are very unified, especially compared to the 1910s, unlike us.

Malcolm X shirt. He approaches me alone, in the parking lot. A few days before I had to tell other homeless people, or are they homeless? Do they live on the block? Don’t think so much. Outside of the fence? Homeless. Inside of the fence? Valid.
He came up to me and asked me what the space was all about, and I explained it as plainly as I could: I sell tacos, there’s a tea cafe inside, and the venue is used on the weekends for various punk events.
He gets into my face. Clearly to g-check me, to let me know that this is in fact his neighborhood, his block, and I am a guest. Fair enough, it’s, as Gucci Mane said, the truth. Safe space.
Something tells me in that moment that that rhetoric isn’t more meaningful than the opinions of the man in the Malcolm X hoodie. His Malcolm X shirt wasn’t an accident. It was a direct challenge to my position. It said: “You know what this is. I know what this is. Let’s not pretend.”
I’ve read Malcolm X. I get compared to Malcolm X. I am, by most metrics, a white dude. I am telling this man and people like him, regardless of the community pantry, regardless of what I stand for, that he is not welcome here, be it by body language or by spoken word.
In this moment, I knew that contradictions could never be resolved. If this man became a daily or twice-weekly user of our pantry? He’d be banned before he got a chance to know everyone, and that everyone? Suspicion the whole time.
How could I possibly sit in a minor position of power, only serving this business that claims to be this welcoming space, while telling this man he can’t be here, for what is ultimately the color of his skin and his perceived class position?
I never liked telling "the homeless" to fuck off, and I never liked the position I was forced to play in the space, this masculine protector shit. Protecting what? Capital.
Never again. I have never felt so ashamed. So much like a cop. The ban I received, it only makes me feel that much more connected to that man in the Malcolm X hoodie. It has become inescapable to me that the contradictions between small businesses and revolutionaries cannot be squared, after all it was small businesses that pushed so strongly for "Whites Only" rules. It was the small time pool operator that poured bleach in the pools when black people swam, who chose to turn those gathering places into parking lots when they realized who would gather there.
I have no regrets, in that moment I thought that operating in that way would benefit the space. It's a safe space so it's good to protect it. Safe from what? Fascists? There are people with real power at the venue who support or at least admire fascism, racism, and bigotry. For the queer? There was no way of me knowing if this man was queer or not.
Safe space for profit. Simple as.
For the last couple of months I have been playing the role of "security" at the "safe space".
There is an interaction that sits in my head so deeply that I cannot shake it. Homeless, or just part of the block? Same shit, same class of person to the people running the business. To the people employed with protecting it.Malcolm X shirt. He approaches me alone, in the parking lot. A few days before I had to tell other homeless people, or are they homeless?

From what it looks like, nothing will happen. This'll just be another day in the Burgerreich, and some other tragedy will happen tomorrow, and we'll shrug it off aswell.
Something HAS to happen, for the good of not just the fight in America, but the revolutionary cause worldwide, to sink a dagger into the Empire right in it's belly, however it doesn't look like anything will happen.

Israel has tamed Iran and Hamas and Hezbollah and the Gazan people are on their last legs. If they survive at all it will be in tents rather than dense cities as before. At every turn, the conflicts are shifting from balance toward overmatch and escalation control in favor of the West/US/Israel.
Since roughly the mid-2010s, we’ve seen repeated claims that Iraq/Afghanistan, the 2008 crisis, Syria, Ukraine, or China’s rise would mark a decisive terminal decline, yet in practice the U.S. and its allies have retained escalation control, alliance cohesion, financial centrality, and unmatched intelligence-strike capabilities while rivals absorb disproportionate costs for challenging the system. The mistake isn’t noticing Western contradictions, it’s assuming those contradictions imply fragility rather than durability, and confusing loud resistance with actual system-overturning power. What recent years suggest is not that the empire is collapsing, but that it has shifted from overextension to selective enforcement, which is precisely the mode that makes repeated predictions of imminent demise look increasingly disconnected from observed outcomes.
“Multipolarists” and self-described anti-imperialists fundamentally misread Western restraint as terminal decline rather than adaptation. China remains a regional rather than global military challenger whose only plausible path to victory runs through the Taiwan Strait and whose demographic, alliance, and structural economic limits make it incapable of replacing the United States as a system-organizing power; the deeper implication is that many people invested emotionally and ideologically in the idea of inevitable Western decline are unprepared for a world in which the system they oppose proves both durable and adaptable, producing not liberation or collapse but a long, grinding equilibrium that frustrates anti-imperial hopes and exhausts challengers.
(The last, and I mean absolute LAST chance for the US world order to be overturned even PARTIALLY, is for China to defeat the AUKUS in the Taiwan strait prior to 2030-2035 when China’s demographic decline will begin to affect its military strength.)
Multipolarism: The Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) of politics
I want to distinguish here between multipolar-ism and multipolarity itself. Multipolarity is simply a word describing a geopolitical state: it means multiple great powers with independent strategic freedom, each able to shape outcomes, set norms, and escalate or de-escalate on their own terms; instability exists, but no single actor can reliably cap it, and regional wars can more easily spill or realign the system itself. Power is horizontally distributed and outcomes are genuinely contingent. Sometimes the West loses, sometimes it wins, sometimes rules change.
What is instead happening is not multipolarity. It is instead a still largely unipolar managed instability. Conflicts persist, but within boundaries that one side largely enforces. Rivals can resist, harass, endure, and survive, but they cannot decisively rewrite the system or win clean strategic victories. Escalation is asymmetric: non-Western actors pay exponentially higher costs for breaking ceilings than Western actors do. Wars freeze not because of balance, but because one pole has the ability to punish attempts at resolution it doesn’t like while avoiding full commitment itself.
“Multipolarism”, OTOH, is essentially the Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) of politics: a posture defined less by a positive program than by reflexive negation. The core impulse isn’t “what would materially improve people’s lives?” but “whatever the West says or does, I must oppose it,” even if the alternative is incoherent, reactionary, or demonstrably worse by the very standards the speaker once claimed to hold.
Multipolarism as Resentment
Given that why do people continue to hold onto these theories? Its because once politics collapses into that mode, losing doesn’t matter anymore. In fact, loss can even be perversely comforting, because it preserves the oppositional identity. Winning would require responsibility, governance, tradeoffs, and worst of all accountability to real people rather than symbolic enemies. That’s why you see the same figures cycling from one “anti-Western” fantasy to the next, mythologizing Safavids, Assad, Hamas, Russia, Iran, whoever, regardless of ideology or class structure, and then rationalizing failure as moral purity when those forces predictably get crushed or constrained.
Multipolarism never should have been taken seriously, the fact that it is so popular is indicative of a moral and analytical collapse that’s been brewing for years. A lot of people who once talked seriously about socialism, labor power, material conditions, and workers’ control quietly abandoned those commitments and replaced them with a shallow, aestheticized anti-Westernism that treats any force opposing the U.S. or Israel as automatically emancipatory. In doing so, they stopped asking basic questions about class power, state capacity, coercion, or outcomes, and instead started romanticizing reactionary states, sectarian militias, and long-dead empires as if symbolism itself were a substitute for material victory or social transformation.
The result is that they lose on every axis. They lose militarily, because the actors they cheer are structurally weaker, corrupt, and strategically constrained. They lose politically, because their “anti-imperialism” produces nothing resembling workers’ control, egalitarianism, or mass emancipation, just repression with different flags. And they lose morally, because cheering for the suffering of civilians, or excusing authoritarianism and theocracy, hollows out any claim to universal justice. What’s left is resentment politics: identity without power, aesthetics without strategy, and denunciation without a path to winning anything that would actually improve ordinary people’s lives.
Resentment politics is why this strain of anti-Westernism feels so hollow and repetitive. It isn’t animated by a concrete socialist program, class power, or material strategy; it’s animated by hatred of those who can act, organize, project force, and shape outcomes. The romanticization of defeated empires, reactionary states, or militias isn’t about their values or successes, it’s about using them as symbolic weapons against the West’s confidence and competence. Even loss can be metabolized as “moral victory,” because resentment prefers inverted values over actual change. Resentment eventually consumes its host: it produces a politics that cannot create, cannot govern, and cannot win, only negate.
TLDR: You multipolaristas all sold your souls and in exchange got NOTHING. You traded the universal project of socialism for vibe-based anti-Westernism, and still can’t even point to a strategic win, then what you’ve really abandoned isn’t the West, it’s the idea that politics should be about building durable, emancipatory power at all.
the END of multipolarism
It’s time for you to face the facts: the track record of “multipolarists” predicting the imminent end of U.S./Western primacy has been consistently VERY poor.Israel has tamed Iran and Hamas and Hezbollah and the Gazan people are on their last legs. If they survive at all it will be in tents rather than dense cities as before. At every turn, the conflicts are shifting from balance toward overmatch and escalation control in favor of the West/US/Israel.

What will bring about revolution will be small networks, numbering no more than 25 people per node, moving militantly with the purpose of revolution. It will be the singular revolutionary finding 2 to 5 people who align ideologically. It will be the pursuit of power that wins the class war. Lenin called it a Vanguard. So be it. Anyone who is legitimately moving within this world as if they are really a revolutionary, I mean a revolutionary suicide revolutionary, I mean a revolutionary who will not live to see the fruits of his or her labors, who is willing to die for the cause. Give me a dozen small groups of these people moving each day with the strictest, most principled determination to achieve revolution and we will win.
Did the serf really understand the civics behind monarchy? Did the average Russian peasant know the roots of the Bolsheviks? No. Did Mao go to the masses with the intention of educating them towards communism? No. He came to organize an army, with the promise that the life the communists could give the masses was far and beyond the life they lived now. That was enough. The French in Algeria did not give up power without violence; could you imagine thinking that those same French could be convinced of revolution given just a few more pamphlets, a few more zines, a few more YouTube videos? It is a farce. It is pointless debate.
If I am one person, with one life, with a limited amount of labor, resources and time to give to the cause, then it doesn’t benefit me nor the cause to take a 10-year federal penitentiary chance on doing actions that only seek to moralize the class war, that only seek to sway hearts and minds. No. It is with militant action. It is with uncompromisingly standing for what you believe in. Yes, mutual aid has a purpose, but that cannot be the ends, only the means. To be a revolutionary in the age of the surveillance state, of neoliberal “everyone can be their own business owner,” in the age of hyper-alienation, is to be a martyr. So be it. There are countless, faceless men and women who have no problem standing with the courage needed to rebuke the anti-life regime. 7 people in a room with a seriousness can discuss things that no one thought possible. Multiply that by 700 and you see the potential. Beyond the affinity group, beyond the vanguard, what must be created are hundreds of revolutionary cells, the amoebas that can eat the ‘brain’ of capital, one strike, one direct action, one stand on principle at a time. It only takes one group to achieve the successful combination of factors that allow revolutionary victory, and all of the other groups will be positioned to gain from this victory. The mere presence of a vocal, ideologically principled anarcho-communist can be a butterfly effect. Be the butterfly, organize. It is no longer enough to play defense against the old world, hoping to create something within its shell. We must wage uncompromising class war by any means necessary.
I am willing to fall on my sword for revolution. My death will be but one spark in the flames of liberation; that is the highest honor allotted to man.
Used to feel like it was going to be spontaneous. Decentralized.
The worker class would, all at once, break their chains. Just takes the right primer, the right base building built. Do enough mutual aid, build the right networks, show people the alternative and then, when the next chance at spontaneous action happens? It will be bright, flaming and burning hot with revolution. This has been my line of thought since those days on the streets of protest in the Summer of 2020. It is no longer my opinion. No longer the line I hold. It is utopianism.What will bring about revolution will be small networks, numbering no more than 25 people per node, moving militantly with the purpose of revolution.

Venezuela to release prisoners in 'peace' gesture'
Venezuela released citizens and foreigners from its prisons on Thursday in what a top government official described as a gesture to “seek peace” less than a week after former President Nicolás Maduro was captured by U.S. forces to face federal drug-trafficking charges in New York. Jorge Rodríguez, brother of acting President Delcy Rodríguez and head of the National Assembly, said a “significant number” of people would be freed, but he was not specific about how many or provide names.

French farmers stage protest in Paris to oppose EU-Mercosur trade deal
The farmers blockaded motorways outside Paris on Thursday and dozens of tractors overran police checkpoints to reach the city centre in a pre-dawn protest organised by the Coordination Rurale union. EU states are due to vote on Friday on the deal with Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay, the four members of the South American trade bloc known as Mercosur. If ratified, it would create a common market of nearly 800 million people, boosting EU exports of vehicles, machinery, wines and spirits.

RMT threaten 'mass industrial action' over any attempt to automate Tube
She pledged to automate every Tube train unless the unions and Transport for London (TfL) “start working for Londoners.” A spokesperson for the Rail, Maritime and Transport union said: “Upgrading just three lines on London Underground would cost in the region of £20 billion. “TfL does not believe it is economically viable and it would not be safe. “Drivers on the Tube perform a skilled and an essential safety-critical role every day.

Global Minds Initiative, the program seeking to attract top talent to Germany on the back of US brain drain
The Trump administration is making it increasingly difficult to work in the United States, leading many highly qualified researchers and professionals to seek opportunities in other markets abroad. Germany wants to capitalize on this unusual brain drain to address its long-standing shortage of skilled labor, a problem experts predict will worsen in the coming years due to demographic shifts.

Israel proposed using PA funds to cover cost of Gaza rubble clearance — official
Israel has proposed using a portion of the several billions of dollars in clearance revenues it is withholding from the Palestinian Authority to pay for the clearing of rubble for construction projects in Gaza, a PA official told The Times of Israel on Thursday. Another idea proposed by Israel was using the clearance revenues to cover the cost of the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s operations during the war, according to the PA official.

Kurds in Turkey protest over Syria Aleppo offensive
Several hundred people gathered in Diyarbakir, southeastern Turkey's main Kurdish-majority city, while hundreds more joined a protest in Istanbul that was roughly broken up by riot police who arrested around 25 people, the pro-Kurdish DEM party said. In the capital, Ankara, DEM lawmakers protested in front of the Turkish parliament, denouncing the targeting of Kurds in Aleppo as a crime against humanity.

Yemen: STC control evaporates in Aden as its would-be capital switches sides
Aden has been a heartland of the STC’s support, and is the capital the separatists envisaged for the future independent state of South Arabia. But now its leader, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, has been accused by Saudi Arabia of fleeing to the UAE via Somaliland. And the stunning gains that the STC made last month, when it seized control over the provinces of Hadhramaut and al-Mahrah, have been suddenly and rapidly reversed by the Riyadh-backed Homeland Shield Forces (HSF), who are moving towards Aden under the cover of Saudi air strikes.

Venezuela to release prisoners in 'peace' gesture'
Venezuela released citizens and foreigners from its prisons on Thursday in what a top government official described as a gesture to “seek peace” less than a week after former President Nicolás Maduro was captured by U.S. forces to face federal drug-trafficking charges in New York. Jorge Rodríguez, brother of acting President Delcy Rodríguez and head of the National Assembly, said a “significant number” of people would be freed, but he was not specific about how many or provide names.

The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed. And even more disturbingly, it seems these people are in powerful positions, extremely affluent and have a lot of access to power.
The insane thing is that these are the exact people who are spreading the pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies and hysteria, and several right paramilitaries seem to be involved, eg. Oath Keepers (one guy even posts that they were acquitted for January 6th) and Proud Boys, offering human trafficking services on this board.
There is a lot of mention of the MAGA figures, Bondi, Hesgeth and Tulsi Gabbard - in her case there's even a thread ostensibly containing some sort of videos of her. There's talk of Heritage Foundation and their president Jim DeMint. There's mentions of Silicon Valley figures such as Curtis Yarvin, Musk and Sheryl Sandberg (her supposed "personal collection"). There are several references to Orban and trips to Hungary are advertised. This is just scratching the service of everything that can be seen in the screen recording, which was anonymously uploaded to archive.org by a woman that found this page open on her father's computer.
The leak seems pretty recent, dated to March 2025. I did some searches, but I can't find anything else on it, so it must be extremely secretive. It seems that this has gone completely under the radar, so I'm bringing it here for your consideration. And frankly, I'm scared, because I do think it's real. This is too far out there to be fake, I don't think anyone has an imagination wild enough to come up with this.

as some background, me and my girlfriend recently broke up over both being traumatized and her getting tired of my ever worsening situation.
in our current superstructure it would simply be discarded as a inherently codependent trauma relationship that could've never worked and under this understanding of the world the proposed solution is avoiding these relationships completely by simply getting over the trauma before dating.
now, my first question is, what does it even mean to get over trauma? some argue that the first steps are to engage in masking, similar to how someone would hide their neurodivergence. others suggest that getting over trauma is a matter of normalizing to oneself.
neither of these seems to be particularly effective, I understand that trauma cannot be undone but neither of these strategies seems to me like much more than internalizing and individualizing a systemic fault which feels contradictory and self destructive.
now, extending this at large I find myself disagreeing with the liberal capitalist perspective on mental health, I see it as one of my core values to be radically against eugenics and I find the idea of normality repulsive and unhelpful as it is often utilized to justify this line of thinking.
I understand that some deviations from our agreed normality are inherently harmful to others under our existing superstructure but I find it very difficult to justify a culture who glorifies the suppression of any behaviors that aren't helpful to the advancement of the capitalist system.
I have tried to adopt dialectical materialism to form a coherent opinion on what is the appropriate approach to many of these questions. it has helped with identifying contradictions within the status quo but I've been unable to find any reasonable uncontradictory answer to these questions, both within our existing superstructure and within a hypothetical utopian communist society.

To start things off, I'd highly recommend the Panopticon album "Kentucky," which is a BM album about the state's history with labor organizing among coal miners, as well as the coal industry's destruction of the state's natural beauty. It's not a perfect album by any means but the way it mixes BM with bluegrass is cool, plus it has an incredibly redpilled message.

As an avid listener of metal, something that frustrates me is the prevalence of chuds and reactionaries in metal (especially black metal). The visibility of guys like Varg and Famine of Peste Noire infamy has colored the public perception of extreme metal as being the domain of edgelord fascists. What are some metal groups that could be said to be socialist, anarchist, or leftist in some manner?To start things off, I'd highly recommend the Panopticon album "Kentucky," which is a BM album about the state's history with labor organizing among coal miners, as well as the coal industry's destruction of the state's natural beauty.

I have a psychological theory that schizophrenia is somewhat related to transgenderism (also I am not transphobic, this is just a theory).
Schizophrenia is caused by multiple chemical imbalances in the brain, and it has been found that hormones can influence severity and expression of symptoms.
BUT it has also been found that estrogen can be protective for schizophrenia, delaying its development.
This is why women usually develop schizophrenia later in life compared to men.
I have a theory that male to female transition could be a mechanism the brain uses, misinterpreting schizophrenia as gender dysphoria, unintentionally delaying its development or preventing it entirely.
For examples of this, Ted K in the 60s was actually going through transition. After he stopped taking estrogen and detransitioned, his schizophrenia started to develop rapidly.
In my personal experiences, as a schizophrenic myself, I have heard from other schizophrenics that they have experienced gender dysphoria too.
What do you guys think?

>By Cansu Oba
>A recent article published by one of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s media outlets has provided an opportunity to revisit certain aspects of the movement’s class character and ideological foundations.
>In reality, this stance is not new. Throughout Abdullah Öcalan’s years in prison, he has repeatedly produced statements and writings that target socialist experiences and the founders of scientific socialism. These have for some time been highlighted in the movement’s own media.
>What makes the current moment significant is that Öcalan is one of the central actors in an ongoing political process in Turkey. The “peace process”—carried out with the open support of the leader of the fascist party and through direct contact between Öcalan, a parliamentary commission, and state officials—has transformed the political environment. At the same time, a former co-chair and current MP of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s party, the DEM Party, declared that the party now effectively serves as the country’s main opposition. All of this signals that the emerging bourgeois political landscape provides fertile ground for the resonance between the Kurdish nationalist movement’s attacks on socialism and the bourgeois politics’ more traditional forms of anti-communism.
>Yet the PKK was never, in reality, a genuinely Marxist-Leninist organization. Founded in the late 1970s, a period in which the left dominated Turkey’s political and social arena, the PKK employed Marxist-Leninist terminology and drew from these values, but it was always, at its core, a national movement.
>Claims that Öcalan has “surpassed Marxism”—when considered together with his recent statement that he has been “waiting 50 years to be understood”—suggest a line of ideological continuity rather than a merely conjunctural shift.
>The Kurdish nationalist movement, now firmly situated somewhere between social democracy and nationalism within Turkey’s political landscape, has strengthened ties with various factions of the bourgeoisie, including some of Turkey’s most prominent capitalist families. Meanwhile, its distance from the republic’s founding principles and from secularism has frequently aligned it with the AKP government not only on current political issues but also on long-term regional strategy. The most recent peace process aimed to formalize this alignment into a strategic partnership tied to a broader regional imperialist project.
>Outside Turkey, however—especially in Europe—the movement’s image is refracted and softened within left-wing public opinion. One reason is certainly the complexity of Turkish politics, which is difficult to understand from the outside. But this is not the only factor.
>International exposure to Turkey has grown, and it is easier than ever to follow developments due to the country’s increasing visibility in global media. It is therefore hard to claim that these kinds of statements or texts are inaccessible to international audiences. Indeed, the movement’s arguments, as well as interviews with its representatives, frequently appear in European publications.
>And some realities speak for themselves. The passages quoted below illustrate this clearly. Before turning to them, however, it must be noted that this “misperception” is also reinforced by the European reading of Turkish politics exclusively through the lens of an “authoritarian Turkish government.” While not wholly inaccurate, this perspective often ignores or obscures class dynamics within Turkey and the AKP government’s alignment with Turkish capital. As a result, many international observers view the Kurdish nationalist movement’s struggle primarily through a liberal “freedom vs. authoritarianism” framework.
>Additionally, a long-standing romanticism within parts of the European left regarding the right of oppressed nations to self-determination—regardless of contemporary material conditions—has also contributed to this distortion, something the movement itself has instrumentalized.
>Yet during this same period, within the movement’s own press, articles are found accusing communist movements of “defending the system,” equating actually existing socialism with fascism, and claiming that Marxist, Leninist, and Maoist revolutions ultimately became instruments of systemic power:
>“The Marxist, Leninist, and Maoist revolutions—built through immense sacrifice and effort—ultimately became entangled with the system and even evolved into its strongest defenders. Lenin’s Soviets, under Stalin, transformed into a form of Soviet fascism, while Mao’s communism was pushed into becoming a major capitalist force. A socialism detached from society cannot become anything more than an extension of the existing system.
For this reason, new and innovative ideas must be developed within socialism, Marxism, Leninism, and Maoism. Socialism needs to be re-evaluated and re-socialized. A viable socialism must be freed from mistaken interpretations and outdated mentalities so that its social essence can emerge. A socialism that does not belong solely to a single class must be approached broadly and rooted within society as a whole.”
>The text goes on to declare that socialism does not belong to any particular class, and that Öcalan has brought new life to socialism:
>“Within this framework, Leader Apo (Abdullah Öcalan) sought to identify the shortcomings of socialism and to change and transform it into a socially grounded model. By addressing the weaknesses of real socialism and scientific socialism, he introduced a new perspective and, through the development of democratic socialism, aimed to reveal socialism’s core essence.”
>And finally, the author “buries” scientific socialism in Rojava—ironically one of the closest U.S. and Israeli allies in the region and a convenient asset in their Middle East strategy—and elevates it as the “first step of democratic socialism”:
>“Rojava is the place where this new perspective on socialism has been introduced and developed. Indeed, Rojava represents the final stop of socialism and the first step of democratic socialism.”
>As noted earlier, these are not new arguments. Öcalan’s own writings over the years contain many such analyses. His letter to the PKK’s 12th Congress—held last May, where the organization decided to dissolve itself—provides an especially distilled summary of this worldview and, in effect, rewrites the history of class struggle:
>“Historical materialism should replace class struggle with ‘the commune.’ It is more accurate to revise Marxism through this concept. History is not a history of class struggle but of conflict between the state and the commune.”
>He continues:
>“The fundamental contradiction begins with the conflict between the masculine and feminine elements in society. It does not originate from class. Marx’s class-based conflict theory is the main reason real socialism collapsed.”
>He even criticizes Marx for “not being Marxist”:
>“Marx, to live with his wife, sells his coat. He says, ‘Let me write this book so it earns money and saves my marriage.’ Is this what Marxism is supposed to be?”
>These quotes demonstrate that Öcalan’s approach is neither new nor incidental: it has deep roots in the ideological history of the movement.
>Why, then, is it important to accurately understand the PKK’s non-Marxist character now? As stated at the outset, Öcalan’s analysis now fuels a new wave of anti-communist discourse in Turkey. His claim that the PKK was founded on the basis of “real socialism,” but became dysfunctional once real socialism collapsed and could not find a replacement, mirrors the government’s own narrative that absolves the state and blames “the left” for past conflicts. In response, the TKP Central Committee emphasized that the PKK was never a Marxist organization and stated that, at a moment when the PKK is contemplating its own dissolution, the government’s effort to shift historical responsibility onto revolutionaries and socialism will not be allowed to stand uncontested. The statement underscored that a nationalism interwoven with liberalism—and political alliances with the United States or Israel—cannot in any form be reconciled with Marxism.
>Assuming this approach—rooted in anarchism and other petty-bourgeois ideologies, such as liberalism—within the left spectrum represents, from a leftist standpoint, a form of self-negation. Let us recall that in the same letter, Öcalan references Kropotkin and states, “Lenin should have listened to him,” even though Lenin, in the Marxist-Leninist tradition we inherit, criticized Kropotkin and the anarchist currents of his time for petty-bourgeois romanticism and utopianism. In this light, it is no coincidence that the author of the initially cited article remarks that Rojava reminds him of Thomas More’s works.
>There are, of course, certain limits to treating these theses with full theoretical seriousness. This is largely because they do not form a coherent whole, but rather consist of arguments drawn from various theoretical backgrounds and combined in an eclectic manner. Nevertheless, this movement has a significant social base and is still regarded in many parts of the world as a progressive or socialist force. For this reason, we need to address this somewhat misleading image with greater care and clarity.
>If we accept that Marxism cannot be stretched to the point of severing it from its class foundations, it becomes evident that this nationalist movement—whose ideological roots lie in pre-Marxist and non-Marxist traditions—must be approached without romantic lenses. In terms of realpolitik, tolerance for alliances with the United States and Israel or participation in expansionist neo-Ottoman projects, and, on the ideological plane, tolerance for petty-bourgeois currents and the new wave of anti-communism, are matters for those who have already abandoned the target of socialism—not for those committed to it.

South Yemen secessionists, supported by the UAE, are crushing the Saudi puppet state and took over most of the cities in the Southern part of the country, also taking control of the Oman-Yemen border. But the Southern Transitional Council isn't communist like was South Yemen, and fully supports the Palestinian genocide:

>Transitional Council chief says Abraham Accords will be key to stability after Gaza war
Declaring an independent southern Yemeni state would pave the way for entering the Abraham Accords, the deputy chairman of Yemen's Presidential Council Aidarous Al Zubaidi told The National in an interview.
>The president of the Southern Transitional Council said all the conditions were in place for statehood and added that secession would allow the south to make its own foreign policy decisions, including the option of joining the Abraham Accords.
>“Before the events in Gaza, we were advancing towards joining the Abraham Accords,” he said. “If Gaza and Palestine regain their rights, the Accords will be essential for stability in the region. When we have our southern state, we will make our own decisions and I believe we will be part of these accords.”
>Yemen's eight-member Presidential Council leads the anti-Houthi, internationally recognised government in exile in Aden. The secessionist Southern Transitional Council holds three of those eight seats.
>Mr Al Zubaidi framed independence not just as a local aspiration but as part of a wider commitment to stability in the region. “We support the two-state solution – a Yemeni state in the north and in the south – and a Palestinian state alongside Israel,” he said. “Self-determination is a right. All people have the right to determine their future.”

I understand there are critiques of cooperatives, and how they are not enough to bring about proletarian revolution. The same is true of unions, but I still support the creation of unions and worker-owned cooperatives as part of a multi-pronged strategy.

/Cooperatives/ General #1
>To my mind, the so-called “socialist society” is not anything immutable. Like all other social formations, it should be conceived in a state of constant flux and change. Its crucial difference from the present order consists naturally in production organized on the basis of common ownership by the nation of all means of production. To begin this reorganization tomorrow, but performing it gradually, seems to me quite feasible. That our workers are capable of it is borne out by their many producer and consumer cooperatives which, whenever they're not deliberately ruined by the police, are equally well and far more honestly run than the bourgeois stock companies.- Engels, Letter to Otto Von Boenigk In Breslau, August 21, 1890

And no, i'm not justifying anti immigration nativism, the point against them are valid and true. But those same points apply with AI. Wages are already declining long before AI is a thing, and AI is used primarily, in the creative industry setting, for entry level jobs with low wages that nobody wants to work in. You know, like making codemonkey scripts or making fillers for game backgrounds. But its the fucking hypocrisy i can't stand: you guys can correctly see through hysteria when it affects the blue collars, but when it affects your substratum's interest, your creative art making and programming jobs, suddenly you become as insane as the most rabid nativists who think that haitians are eating cat and dogs

10 years of Trump - 250 years of America
How did you react when Trump won? I personally drank a bottle of champagne because I knew it was the beginning of the end of the USA. He is the worst kind of man and everyone knows it. Watching him destroy the US for 10 years while in and out of office has been so vindicating. He has made China into a moral leader. He is such a great capstone on the genocidal project founded in bourgeois revolution - the Settler Entity.(This is a microblogging thread in the style of Twitter and Reddit, the front pages of the Internet.)

Implicit moral presuppositions among marxists?
Something I find a little strange, or perhaps just misunderstand, is that marxism is posited to be an morally unconcerned, descriptive theory, yet its adherents often don't adopt that attitude whatsoever. Most marxists I've ever met are activists and have a clear ethical problem with capitalism. However, this ethical problematization is never seemingly justified, just presupposed and unexamined. I don't think that's necessarily an inherent problem but it seems to run counter to the idea of the supposed amoralism of marxism. That supposed amoralism is used to counter liberal sentimentality yet it isn't actually amoralistic itself. You could probably even criticize Marx and Engels themselves for this, owing to their active engagement with a communist movement. If it's true that capitalism's collapse is an inevitability and the theory posts only that then why even concern yourself with ensuring or disrupting that outcome? Even if you want to argue that it is only a likely event and not strictly determined, from that we still don't have a reason as to why anybody should care, really. From the theory, communism is neither a positive nor a negative development, only a transformation. You could make an argument that you have a personal or community interest in communism but that would be an external moral argument that has no direct bearing on marxism.

Most of the books and official animated media focus more on spectacle, exaggeration, humour, absurdity, and hype than on believability (not realism, believability and consistency) and immersion at the cost of tonal consistency and the depth of many of its characters. This series has many issues with scaling and tension when a new world/empire threat ending pops up each edition while the imperium is written to feel nearly always reactive and in a vegetative state. The imperium was never good, but never written to be so laughably incompetent that major galaxy ending crises could casually manifest without any pushback. Remember when the imperial guard was so strong it had to be nerfed in lore? Yeah I miss when the scaling of the series wasn’t 100% catered to the astartes and the times when the authors tried to write the guard and planetary defence forces as actually useful for protecting humanity…

It started in the late 1600s in America, but like so many scams, it spiraled out of control until it had a life of its own.
Not long after Europeans started arriving on the east coast of North America and the Caribbean Islands they found themselves rich in land but desperate for labor to work the land. The answer they struck upon was importation of bond labor, initially mostly Irish. The Irish had not been considered fully human under English law for centuries, and they ended up in plantations and working sugar under the Caribbean sun. The easy part of importing Irish (and Scottish) slave labor was that they were right next to England. The downside is there wasn’t enough of them for the amazing amounts of land laid before the eager English settlers, and thus the Atlantic slave trade with Africa was born. This is the story we hear in school, but the abridged version we get, intentionally or not, hides the scam of it. Initially the bond terms of convict, Scotch-Irish, and African labor was a set period of time, at the end of which they received bond money and their freedom in this new land. In fact, not that many bondsmen and women lived to be free, but some did, and established themselves as a mixed-race, free peasantry of the new world. If you’ve ever wondered where the free blacks of so many stories of early America came from, a large number were the families of freed African bond laborers.
As time went on, the labor needs of the land holders continued to grow, and desperate to cultivate the land, they were loathe to let go of their bond servants and the bondsmen and bondswomen’s children (whom they kept in bondage for a legally defined time as well). In the mean time, a growing American peasantry was proving as difficult to govern as the European peasantry back home, periodically rising up in riot and rebellion, light skinned and dark skinned together. The political leaders of the Virginia colony struck upon an answer to all these problems, an answer which plagues us to this day.
The Virginians legislated a new class of people into existence: the whites. They gave the whites certain rights, and took other rights from blacks. White, as a language of race, appears in Virginia around the 1680s, and seems to first appear in Virginia law in 1691. And thus whiteness, and to a degree as well blackness, was born in the mind of America.
As of the 18th century whites could not be permanently enslaved as they sometimes had been before, and black slaves could never work their way to freedom. The whites were told this was because God had made the blacks inferior to the whites, just as the whites were inferior to the superior classes that owned property. It’s worthwhile to remember that they didn’t give whites political rights, they didn’t give whites the vote — that would not happen then nor at the revolution and independence. Whites didn’t get the vote until the presidency of Andrew Jackson. Property owners, both of land and slaves, were the only ones who could vote. That included black land and slave owners until various states passed laws in the early 18th century to take their franchise away.
This plan worked gorgeously. It broke all efforts of the majority of people, African or European, to fight for civil and political rights in America against a landed class that ruled everything. It reduced a portion of the people to the status of the negro slave, and gave the poor but now white people a precious and entitled inch to stand above the permanently enslaved on the social ladder. The next thing the politicians did sealed the deal: they paid poor whites a bounty for runaway slaves, and often made them overseers for slaves, turning every poor white in America into a prison guard against the people who had once been their neighbors and allies.
If this seems like a crazy way for people to behave, it’s important to think about what was believed about the natural order of things back in the 1600s. Nowadays, we don’t really think about class as a thing that often, and certainly not a natural thing. But when white and black people were conceived, the idea of class was literally believed to be handed down from God. Aristocracy flowed from the divine right of kings, and by their blood or elevation. The poor were poor because God so wished it. Keeping peasants in line and using them to their fullest was what the aristocracy was for, and the tactics that accomplished this were considered wise stewardship. Sometimes that meant concessions, and sometimes divide and conquer, but as long as you didn’t have peasant rebellions, you were doing a good job. This view of the world, never universal but powerful and prevalent, held on in one form or another for a very long time. It infected the views of British, Spanish, Dutch, and French imperial masters all over. The powerful were those God had chosen, and those in their power were chosen by God to be of use. While fainter, this idea is so strong it still leaks into the modern era in places like the atheological ideas of Prosperity Christianity. In the frame of mind of aristocracy and a divinely ordained ruling class, such a plan to reorder people and make them pliant was understood to be a move of genius blessed by god and king, if it worked.
This plan worked, in fact it worked so well it became the blueprint for the next few centuries of colonization, revised and spread all over the world, even beyond the conception of white and black.
As the aristocrats and their successors traveled around the world through the colonial age, Europeans all over would find or define a group within the colonial territory and elevate it above the other groups, give it some privileges, though never enough to challenge the intruding rulers. In exchange for this slightly elevated status, the rulers would make those people do the colonial dirty work, and usually keep them slightly more well off than their fellows. Over time, these slightly elevated people often tried to keep their European masters in power even after the people realized how evil colonialism was, maintaining the system both to keep above their fellows and out of fear of retaliation for the dirty work they’d done. The most familiar contemporary case of this practice people will recognize is the Belgian categorization of Tutsis and Hutus, and the tragedy that still hangs over that arrangement over a century later. But really, the idea started in Virginia.

The most familiar contemporary case of this practice people will recognize is the Belgian categorization of Tutsis and Hutus, and the tragedy that still hangs over that arrangement over a century later. But really, the idea started in Virginia.

In spite of the seething of many supposedly 'leftist comrades', America's unipolar dominance is weakening every day and we move ever closer into a multipolar world. It is clear to any good faith communist that a multipolar world just means that: transitioning from American unipolarity to multipolarity, and that does not automatically mean the expansion and consolidation of socialism. The latter gains more opportunities in this new state of affairs, but nothing is given on a silver platter - communists still have to seize the day. If we make the mistake of thinking multipolarity is socialism, we might as well end up with a multiple poles of fascism and reaction. This is understood by communists, real ones, not agents of NATO clad in 'red aesthetics'. The latter strawman the 'multipolarity=communism' nonsense precisely to then dismantle it and thus ridicule and 'defeat' multipolaristas, doing the work of the NATO Moloch.

If we actually apply historical materialism instead of utopian wish-casting, it becomes obvious that Stalin and Deng aren't just "good" – they are the two greatest practitioners of Marxism in history because they did what Western leftists refuse to do: they prioritized the survival of the revolution over the approval of the bourgeoisie.
1. Stalin: The Shield
Stop crying about "authoritarianism" and read Losurdo. His Critique of a Black Legend completely exposes how the "millions dead" narrative is just recycled Nazi war propaganda that the West adopted during the Cold War. The "Holodomor" wasn't a genocide; it was a combination of kulak sabotage and cyclical drought that the Soviets eventually ended through collectivization. Stalin understood that you don't survive capitalist encirclement with good vibes. He took a country of wooden plows and turned it into a nuclear superpower in a single generation. He purged the fifth columnists because he knew a war of annihilation was coming. Without that "authoritarianism," the Wehrmacht would have wiped the Slavs off the map.
2. Deng: The Sword
The hate for Deng is even more embarrassing. You guys claim to care about the poor but hate the man who oversaw the greatest poverty alleviation program in human history? Deng understood that "poverty is not socialism." He developed the productive forces necessary to compete with the West. And regarding 1989: He saved China from the fate of the USSR. Tiananmen was a textbook color revolution, backed by Western NGOs and intelligence. Deng saw Gorbachev selling out to Pizza Hut and realized that sometimes you have to crush a counter-revolution to preserve the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Because he had the spine to do that, China is now mogging the US economy while Russia spent the 90s getting looted by oligarchs.
TL;DR
Parenti said it best in Blackshirts and Reds: you people want a revolution without a revolution. You want a clean, safe process that never makes mistakes and never exercises power. That doesn't exist. Stalin secured the state; Deng secured the economy. If you reject them, you’re not a revolutionary – you’re just an idealist waiting to lose.
Stalin and Deng are the litmus test for whether you’re a materialist or just a liberal with red aest
The absolute state of the discourse on this board lately is pathetic. It’s almost 2026 and I’m still seeing "socialists" parroting CIA talking points like they’re reading from the Black Book of Communism. It’s time to filter the radlibs and the ultras who care more about moral purity than winning.If we actually apply historical materialism instead of utopian wish-casting, it becomes obvious that Stalin and Deng aren't just "good" – they are the two greatest practitioners of Marxism in history because they did what Western leftists refuse to do: they prioritized the survival of the revolution over the approval of the bourgeoisie.

Nobody cares about "revisionism". Nobody cares if you think socialism ended in the USSR in 1953 or whatever. Nobody cares about your position on debates and splits that took place decades before they were born. What people *do* care about is that socialism and can solve the problems that face them, like poverty and colonialism. I've seen people here ridicule the notion that socialism is helping people but there is really no other way to build power. People did not follow Lenin because he had the right ideas but because the Bolsheviks were the only conceivable solution that didn't end in what would later be known as fascism. Why does the CPC have near-universal approval in China? Because their system works and it provides for the people. Almost nobody there wants to return to the days of the Cultural Revolution. And where is anti-revisionist cause celebre Albania today? Now just another NATO puppet state. The entire concept of "anti-revisionism" is anti-materialist because it puts ideas before people. It doesn't matter if you have the right ideas because Marxism was never about having the right ideas. What matters is having the right practice. Here's another truke: If your system can be undone by a single bad actor with mere decrees, then maybe it was useless and was never going to make it in the first place.

The outrage toward AI is highly selective. People claim it “steals,” as if corporations haven’t been extracting labour, culture, and data for decades. They claim AI is destroying the environment — meanwhile, online video streaming accounts for the majority of global internet traffic and emits far more CO₂ than AI use does today. According to The Shift Project, an hour of streaming produces roughly 55 g of CO₂, and a typical Netflix user emits around 17 kg of CO₂ every month. Pornography alone occupies a huge portion of global bandwidth. Yet no one demands the abolition of streaming; our habits and pleasures are completely normalised.
Before attacking AI, remember that streaming culture is part of the spectacle of late capitalism: endless passive entertainment that keeps people distracted while the system churns on. People fixate on AI because it is new and unfamiliar — not because it is the true driver of ecological or social harm.
What is never discussed is the role AI could play outside capitalism. Under a rationally organised, democratically planned socialist economy, AI could become an instrument of genuine human emancipation. AI could eliminate monotonous labour, optimise resource allocation, reduce systemic waste, plan production in real time, expand access to education and culture, and coordinate complex systems on a scale no bureaucracy could ever achieve. Instead of reinforcing exploitation, AI could free people from it — shortening the working day, expanding leisure, and allowing individuals to participate meaningfully in cultural and intellectual life.
In other words: AI is not inherently exploitative. It simply reflects the system into which it is born. Under capitalism, it becomes another tool for profit extraction. Under socialism, it becomes a tool for human development. The question is not whether AI should be used, but who controls it — capital or society.
AI Will Be Used to Build Socialism
The debate over whether AI is “ethical” is mired in petit-bourgeois moralism. Technology itself doesn’t create suffering — capitalism does. The real question isn’t whether AI should exist, but how it can be used for human benefit instead of private profit.The outrage toward AI is highly selective.

The latter decisions that weren’t made are far from impossible to pull off. With a fraction of the money much of the American leftist community has, most reactionary communities have maintained such institutions and services for decades to centuries depending on which community you look into. It would objectively be far more practical regardless to focus more on internal organization and building structure to this community of people rather than shifting attention consistently to the media and national audience where efforts are diluted in coordination and often reliant on demonstrations of moral upstanding and humanistic virtue rather than concrete action. It wouldn’t be any harder to pull off than any new protest or movement, and it wouldn’t cost much to anyone especially if money is pulled.
So why didnt these actions occur?
Visibility over organization
The American leftist community failed to make meaningful changes on a local and national level over because it prioritized visibility over internal organization and protection. Most of its efforts have centered more around activism, protests, and campaign movements rather than fundraisers, mutual aid (this actually was done, but to a very limited degree), community protection services (only the black American has had any success in organizing armed defence for marginalized communities so far and even that’s limited to black Americans), and facilities for allied groups beyond gay bars and clubs which are often out of reach for most Americans.The latter decisions that weren’t made are far from impossible to pull off.

There is more proletarian solidarity to be potentially found among the conscripted ranks of the IDF and Wehrmacht than in your mercenary petty bourgeois/labor aristocrat army
Every dead american soldier is a victory for the international working class. Further proof of this is in the rise of anti-war sentiment among the american proletariat whenever the cost of war spikes (Vietnam, War on Terror) compared to the jingoistic character they generally take whenever it goes their way (WW2, Gulf War), it also has a proletarianization effect on volunteers.

While we do not envy or disdain the bourgeoisie as is common of the middle class, as that would reinforce the role of competition in society, Marx also notes that there can be no class war without class hate. Hating your class enemies (police/army) can be revolutionary, granted it doesn't distract from the materialist critique of class society that is absent of morality.

ABC News reported on Tuesday that Washington had sent a demand to Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodriguez for her government to “kick out China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and sever economic ties” with those nations. The report also said the White House was demanding that Caracas agree to “exclusive co-operation with the US in the field of oil production.” But Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters: “Venezuela is a sovereign state, possessing full and inalienable sovereignty over its natural resources.

Mexico becomes crucial fuel supplier to Cuba but pledges no extra shipments after Maduro toppled
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum acknowledged on Wednesday that “with the current situation in Venezuela, Mexico has become an important supplier” of crude oil to Cuba, but asserted that “no more oil is being sent than has been sent historically; there is no specific shipment.” She added that those shipments are made via “contracts” or as “humanitarian aid,” but offered no concrete figures on the number of barrels exported.

Burkina Faso authorities say new coup plot foiled, arrests underway
Speaking in a televised address, Burkina Faso’s Minister of Security, Mahamadou Sana, said the plan involved a coordinated effort to destabilise the country through a series of targeted assassinations. He stated that the plot was scheduled to begin at around 11 p.m. and would have targeted both civilian and military leaders. According to Sana, the alleged plan included attempts to neutralise the head of state, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, either at close range or through an operation aimed at mining his residence. “A plan was in place to destabilise the country through targeted assassinations,” the minister said.

Thousands flee as Syrian army closes Aleppo’s Kurdish areas amid clashes
Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes in Aleppo after the Syrian army declared two Kurdish neighbourhoods “closed military zones” amid a second day of clashes with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The directorate for social affairs said on Wednesday night that more than 45,000 people had been displaced from the city due to the fighting, most of them heading northwest towards the enclave of Afrin.

UK watchdog fines ex-Carillion finance directors after they drop appeals
Carillion, which was once one of Britain's biggest contractors with 43,000 employees, collapsed in January 2018 under 7 billion pounds ($9.45 billion) of liabilities, disrupting public services and major projects. Adam and Khan had been fined 232,800 pounds and 138,900 pounds, respectively, after dropping their appeals, the FCA said in a statement, less than the 318,000 pounds and 154,400 pounds penalties the regulator set out in its 2022 decision notices.

Gen Z protesters in Nepal are angry at the government they installed
So far the government’s anti-graft agency has filed one significant corruption case that does not include key political figures. The politicians accused of corruption by protesters are preparing to contest upcoming elections and there has been no case filed against leaders who were in power when protesters were injured in September. Dozens of demonstrators, including some who were injured in September, recently have protested against the government they brought to power. These protests outside the prime minister’s office has been held in the past few weeks with police forced to break some of them.

Labour migration became complex in 2025: RMMRU
Labour migration from Bangladesh became more complex in 2025 due to weak governance, persistent dominance of recruitment syndicates, high migration costs and a rise in unskilled and undocumented migration, said a report on the state of overseas migration. The Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit launched the report at the National Press Club in Dhaka city on Wednesday when it said that although overall overseas migration increased by 12 per cent in 2025 than the last year, but female migration sharply declined.

South Korean leader says he asked China’s Xi to act as mediator on North Korea issues
China is North Korea’s biggest trading partner and major diplomatic backer. South Korea and the U.S. have repeatedly asked China to use its unique influence to persuade North Korea to resume long-dormant diplomacy or denuclearize. China has urged all parties involved in North Korean issues to exercise restraint, and in recent years repeatedly blocked the U.S. and others’ attempts to toughen sanctions on North Korea despite its weapons tests banned under U.N. resolutions.

Before some illiterate dumbass takes this as lazy "sectarianism", this was the key issue the Communist International meant to settle. In fact the entire Comintern was born out of the contradiction between the revolutionary content of Marxism and reformist nature of leftism, the murder of German communists at the hands of their left-socialist "comrades" cemented this seemingly forever (clearly not)
>In this connection all those parties that wish to belong to the Communist International must change their names. Every party that wishes to belong to the Communist International must bear the name Communist Party of this or that country (Section of the Communist International). The question of the name is not formal, but a highly political question of great importance. The Communist International has declared war on the whole bourgeois world and on all yellow social-democratic parties. The difference between the communist parties and the old official 'social-democratic' or 'socialist' parties that have betrayed the banner of the working class must be clear to every simple toiler.
<Twenty-one Conditions, Comintern 1919
Going further back to Marx, this distinction was evident (hence the "communist" manifesto)
>in 1847, socialism was a middle-class movement, communism a working-class movement. Socialism was, on the Continent at least, “respectable”; communism was the very opposite. And as our notion, from the very beginning, was that “the emancipation of the workers must be the act of the working class itself,” there could be no doubt as to which of the two names we must take. Moreover, we have, ever since, been far from repudiating it.
<Preface to the 1872 German Edition
>But why were the terms later used exchangeably by the early days of Lenin?
Simply, they were not. By "social democrats" Lenin was strictly referring to the membership of the SPD and its analogous party in Russia who upheld the doctrine of Marx at the time until the German SPD broke away from it.
>But why did Marx and Engels approve of the name SPD in the first place (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands)?
They did not. Both explicitly called the name unscientific and should always be treated as such by the party:
>The dialectician Engels remained true to dialectics to the end of his days. Marx and I, he said, had a splendid, scientifically exact name for the party, but there was no real party, i.e., no mass proletarian party. Now (at the end of the 19th century) there was a real party, but its name was scientifically wrong. Never mind, it would "pass muster", so long as the party developed, so long as the scientific in accuracy of the name was not hidden from it and did not hinder its development on the right direction!
<The State and Revolution, Chapter 4
They were the ones to re-name the League of Just to the Communist League of that wasn't obvious enough.
>acktuly Marx, Engels and Lenin were wrong. Leftist unity (class collaboration) now!!111
Okay. Just don't name yourself after the movement they represented then.
This is more than enough evidence to convince any serious communist that still using terms such as "Leftist" and "Socialist" or to identify with organisations that do, after this split was officially settled for over a century, has nothing to do with communism. This is not even to touch on the popular front slogan which is laughably opportunist.
>At the moment, while the democratic petty bourgeois are everywhere oppressed, they preach to the proletariat general unity and reconciliation; they extend the hand of friendship, and seek to found a great opposition party which will embrace all shades of democratic opinion; that is, they seek to ensnare the workers in a party organization in which general social-democratic phrases prevail while their particular interests are kept hidden behind, and in which, for the sake of preserving the peace, the specific demands of the proletariat may not be presented. Such a unity would be to their advantage alone and to the complete disadvantage of the proletariat. The proletariat would lose all its hard-won independent position and be reduced once more to a mere appendage of official bourgeois democracy. This unity must therefore be resisted in the most decisive manner.

'Haute bourgeoisie' – Big bourgeoisie
'Petty bourgeoisie' – Petty bourgeoisie (Small bourgeoisie)
'Middle class' – Middle class
'Proletariat' – Working class
'Lumpenproletariat' – Lumpenproletariat
The labor aristocracy is a stratum positioned between the middle class and the petty bourgeoisie. Students (as a stratum) are predominantly found among the proletariat and the middle class.
Theses on the Development of the Party
Class Struggle
Individual members of a class recognize their immediate material interest.
Through this immediate material interest, they recognize certain shared characteristics of the class.
Consciousness of oneself as a member of a class. Class organization. Class movement.
The Party of a class is the organization of class organizations.
The Party is the embodiment of the political, organizational, and historical will of a class.
The immediate material interest of the worker is a shorter working day and higher wages. The relationship between working hours and wages is determined daily within the context of class struggle. Workers may orient themselves based on class instinct, but they do not always recognize it as the instinct of a class.
This means the worker, without necessarily perceiving himself as a worker, recognizes his interest in shorter hours and higher pay.
When a participant in the labor movement is reduced to destitution, this instinct can become harmful. Among the lumpenproletariat, it manifests as "hustle culture."
Workers can never, on their own, bridge the gap between the 'organization of workers' and the 'workers' organization'. Intellectuals are required for this.
Intellectuals are, roughly speaking, that section of the working class primarily engaged in mental labor.
Here, we do not exclude organic intellectuals who may, under given circumstances, transcend the narrow-mindedness of a single class; however, such cases are accidental, spontaneous, and—most importantly—slow.
'Organizations of workers' are organizations whose membership is predominantly working-class, yet they lack significance as class organizations.
Examples include hunting societies, folklore groups, cultural societies, etc. This does not exclude organizations that 'should' be class organizations but are not—we refer here primarily to so-called yellow unions.
'Workers' organizations' are organizations whose members need not be workers, yet they possess significance as class organizations of the proletariat.
In recent history, 'organizations of workers' have largely been integrated into the social order via so-called "social dialogue." This means that when exploitation is not excessive, organizations of workers remain passive bodies that may even instill false consciousness in the worker.
The labor movement occurs when workers redirect existing 'organizations of workers' toward the fulfillment of a specific goal set by them, which need not be of a class nature.
The ideas of the labor movement may be far removed from the ideas of Marxism, even if the latter are accepted within 'workers' organizations'.
The fundamental question of Leninism is the question of the synthesis, confluence, and fusion of the labor movement and Marxism.
It is inevitable that, in this process, a certain division of labor will be imposed from without.
On one hand, the mental labor of organizing communist society—as it emerges from the capitalist one—will fall to the 'workers' organizations'.
On the other hand, the practical work of organizing that society will fall to the 'organizations of workers'.
An example of this process is Marxism and the (Paris) Commune; or Leninism and the (Petrograd) Soviet.
In this process, 'workers' organizations' cannot play a passive role. That is the error of Left-Wing Communism. They must accelerate the synthesis of the labor movement and Marxism. They must accelerate the overcoming of class narrow-mindedness.
'Workers' organizations' must subject their theories to the criterion of reality.
The sole criterion of science is the criterion of reality. This means a theory is correct exclusively if it can be applied and does not contradict reality.
The measure of a theory’s correctness is precisely the measure of the synthesis between the labor movement and Marxism.
Membership in organizations is drawn from one or more classes. Organizations always possess a minimal division of labor and, consequently, a central body that manages affairs. The larger the organization, the more complex the division of labor, and the central body managing affairs operates at a higher degree of generalization.
This means that from particular, distinct (identical or conflicting) interests, common points are increasingly extracted; a synthesis of new, more general ideas is formed, broadly encompassing the problems the organization (or organizations) faces.
At a certain stage of development, 'workers' organizations' will be numerous. In such circumstances, a need arises among the more advanced elements to coordinate joint work, primarily because the need for state-wide work and organization is recognized.
The organization of workers' organizations is the Party.
The Party is the central body that manages affairs between workers' organizations.
The Party represents the most general interest of the working class: the abolition of private property and the abolition of the State.
The big or small bourgeois possesses an interest immediately opposed to that of the worker. They desire a longer working day for their workers (so that they themselves do not have to work, or work less) and lower wages, as this directly reduces production costs.
The bourgeois, the bourgeoisie, and their organizations undergo the same abstract process described above.
Bourgeois organizations are ministries, the police, the military, prisons, etc. The bourgeois, as a rule, does not work. There exists a special stratum (the labor aristocracy, the petty bourgeoisie, and a myriad of petty-bourgeois elements who have integrated into the labor of civil society) that organizes on his behalf.
The organization of bourgeois organizations is the State.
The State is the central body that (alongside everything else to be said about the state below) regulates affairs between bourgeois organizations.
The State protects private property. It is the most general organization for the defense of private property that the bourgeoisie possesses.
The Party and the State
Classes'Haute bourgeoisie' – Big bourgeoisie

Individual members of a class recognize their immediate material interest.
Through this immediate material interest, they recognize certain shared characteristics of the class.
Consciousness of oneself as a member of a class. Class organization. Class movement.
The Party of a class is the organization of class organizations.
The Party is the embodiment of the political, organizational, and historical will of a class.
The immediate material interest of the worker is a shorter working day and higher wages. The relationship between working hours and wages is determined daily within the context of class struggle. Workers may orient themselves based on class instinct, but they do not always recognize it as the instinct of a class.
This means the worker, without necessarily perceiving himself as a worker, recognizes his interest in shorter hours and higher pay.
When a participant in the labor movement is reduced to destitution, this instinct can become harmful. Among the lumpenproletariat, it manifests as "hustle culture."
Workers can never, on their own, bridge the gap between the 'organization of workers' and the 'workers' organization'. Intellectuals are required for this.
Intellectuals are, roughly speaking, that section of the working class primarily engaged in mental labor.
Here, we do not exclude organic intellectuals who may, under given circumstances, transcend the narrow-mindedness of a single class; however, such cases are accidental, spontaneous, and—most importantly—slow.
'Organizations of workers' are organizations whose membership is predominantly working-class, yet they lack significance as class organizations.
Examples include hunting societies, folklore groups, cultural societies, etc. This does not exclude organizations that 'should' be class organizations but are not—we refer here primarily to so-called yellow unions.
'Workers' organizations' are organizations whose members need not be workers, yet they possess significance as class organizations of the proletariat.
In recent history, 'organizations of workers' have largely been integrated into the social order via so-called "social dialogue." This means that when exploitation is not excessive, organizations of workers remain passive bodies that may even instill false consciousness in the worker.
The labor movement occurs when workers redirect existing 'organizations of workers' toward the fulfillment of a specific goal set by them, which need not be of a class nature.
The ideas of the labor movement may be far removed from the ideas of Marxism, even if the latter are accepted within 'workers' organizations'.
The fundamental question of Leninism is the question of the synthesis, confluence, and fusion of the labor movement and Marxism.
It is inevitable that, in this process, a certain division of labor will be imposed from without.
On one hand, the mental labor of organizing communist society—as it emerges from the capitalist one—will fall to the 'workers' organizations'.
On the other hand, the practical work of organizing that society will fall to the 'organizations of workers'.
An example of this process is Marxism and the (Paris) Commune; or Leninism and the (Petrograd) Soviet.
In this process, 'workers' organizations' cannot play a passive role. That is the error of Left-Wing Communism. They must accelerate the synthesis of the labor movement and Marxism. They must accelerate the overcoming of class narrow-mindedness.
'Workers' organizations' must subject their theories to the criterion of reality.
The sole criterion of science is the criterion of reality. This means a theory is correct exclusively if it can be applied and does not contradict reality.
The measure of a theory’s correctness is precisely the measure of the synthesis between the labor movement and Marxism.
Membership in organizations is drawn from one or more classes. Organizations always possess a minimal division of labor and, consequently, a central body that manages affairs. The larger the organization, the more complex the division of labor, and the central body managing affairs operates at a higher degree of generalization.
This means that from particular, distinct (identical or conflicting) interests, common points are increasingly extracted; a synthesis of new, more general ideas is formed, broadly encompassing the problems the organization (or organizations) faces.
At a certain stage of development, 'workers' organizations' will be numerous. In such circumstances, a need arises among the more advanced elements to coordinate joint work, primarily because the need for state-wide work and organization is recognized.
The organization of workers' organizations is the Party.
The Party is the central body that manages affairs between workers' organizations.
The Party represents the most general interest of the working class: the abolition of private property and the abolition of the State.
The big or small bourgeois possesses an interest immediately opposed to that of the worker. They desire a longer working day for their workers (so that they themselves do not have to work, or work less) and lower wages, as this directly reduces production costs.
The bourgeois, the bourgeoisie, and their organizations undergo the same abstract process described above.
Bourgeois organizations are ministries, the police, the military, prisons, etc. The bourgeois, as a rule, does not work. There exists a special stratum (the labor aristocracy, the petty bourgeoisie, and a myriad of petty-bourgeois elements who have integrated into the labor of civil society) that organizes on his behalf.
The organization of bourgeois organizations is the State.
The State is the central body that (alongside everything else to be said about the state below) regulates affairs between bourgeois organizations.
The State protects private property. It is the most general organization for the defense of private property that the bourgeoisie possesses.
