Leftcom v/s CouncilCom
I have for a long time used council communists and left communists interchangeably, without ever looking deeply into whether they truly are similar or not. I am not knowledgeable enough to act as if I understand the intellectual jargon and prose of Bordiga and Pannekoek etc. So, can any good souls here tell me the differences between the two and similarities (if any) in simple language please?Peace and love to all

THE IDEAL WINNING 2028 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
As a supporter of the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, I obviously realize that the Democrats are a Controlled Opposition Party who exist to keep the Workers and Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies of Naw Afrika, Aztlan, the First Nations, inside the U$ corralled and controlled, while the dominant ruling Crypto-Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist MAGAtard Republicans transform the U$ into a Full-Blown Fascist Police State, which combined with the fact that the U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American population like they are not U$ citizens (Trump ending birthright citizenship will probably transform this from a De facto to a De jure reality by officially stripping citizenship from most of these populations), with them essentially acting as a permanent domestic underclass with essentially no rights that are exploited for cheap labor and disproportionately suffer from Mass incarceration and police brutality, with their neighborhoods essentially under De facto occupation by militarized police, as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Internal Colonies/Oppressed Nations inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists as stipulated by Lenin’s principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR, which will happen once World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR (all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are pictured in the map I posted, with the former U$ Balkanized into a New African SSR that includes the Black/New Afrikan majority counties of the Black Belt, a Hispano-American SFSR that includes the Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo majority counties in the U$ Southwest, along with the rest of the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas, while the White Settler majority regions in the rest of the former U$ becomes part of the Anglo-American SFSR, which also includes the English-speaking provinces of Canada, as Quebec will become its own SSR, with all the Native American reservations becoming ASSRs) to Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
However, as I have stated many times before a proper Dialectical Materialist analysis still reveals that a Controlled Opposition is better then No Opposition, and as we see on the International Stage that China is a “Controlled Opposition” to U$ Imperialism in the same way that the U$ Democrats are “Controlled Opposition” to the Republicans, thus making China the “Global Democrats”, with the massive caveat that a Maoist faction taking over the CCP and purging the Dengists could place China back in the Socialist Mode of Production on the Shining Path to Communism without another Maoist PPW there, though despite this fact both China (Iran is another example of a Lesser Evil Controlled Opposition) and the U$ Democrats should be “Critically Supported”, not because we genuinely support these Bourgeois entities, but because they are both a “Lesser Evil” faction of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System who De Facto prevent the “Greater Evil” of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System from completely crushing the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World before the World Maoist PPW can be successful when the Global Nuclear War breaks out, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
So with these Dialectical Materialist facts in consideration, what do my fellow Comrades think of this hypothetical “Ideal Winning 2028 Democratic Platform” (this is making Three Bold assumptions, Firstly, that Trump dose not use the Insurrection Act to declare Martial Law and suspend all Elections, thus officially ending Bourgeois Liberal Democracy in the U$ and making him De Facto U$ President for Life, which is what I expect/fear will happen, Secondly, that a Centre-Left Social Democrat like AOC would ever be allowed by the Centrist Neoliberal/Neocon Democratic Establishment to win the Democratic Nomination, and Thirdly/Finally that the majority Ultra-Reactionary Racist/Sexist White Settler Labor Aristocrat/Petit Bourgeois U$ electorate will ever vote for Centre-Left Social Democrat, especially a Brown Chicano/Mestizo Woman like AOC) that is based on the principles of Social Democracy, Social Progressivism, and Non-Interventionism, with Pragmatic characteristics, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🤔?
ECONOMIC POLICY:
Universal Basic Income: Guarantee every Adult U$ citizen a Nontaxable 1000$ monthly check starting on their 18th birthday, paid for by a 10% VAT on all Non-Essential goods (everything but Food, Housing, Healthcare, Education, and Clothing/Hygiene products), Progressive Tax Reform, and eliminating all Means-Tested Social Programs (ie.

Corporations would pay a single 30% Tax rate, and all deductions would be eliminated for both Individuals and Corporations.

Free Trade: Eliminate all Tariffs on imported goods, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

FOREIGN POLICY AND DEFENSE:
The Middle East: End all Foreign Aid to the Zionist State and place a Arms Embargo on them until they agree to a Immediate Ceasefire, Prisoner/Hostage exchange, and IDF withdrawal from Gaza along with a clear pathway to implement a Two-State solution to the Zionist-Palestinian Conflict along the 1967 borders with 1:1 land swaps.

Europe: Force Russia and Ukraine to agree to a Immediate Ceasefire in Ukraine along the line of contact, with eventual UN-observed Referendums held in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson to determine if these regions will be in Russia or Ukraine (If Russia refuses to agree to this the U$ will give Ukraine even more advanced weapons and Russia will face even more sanctions, while if Ukraine refuses to agree to this they will face a Arms embargo and sanctions just like Russia). If Russia agrees to this, U$ will halt the expansion of NATO, reenter the ABM and INF treaties with Russia, withdrawal all U$ troops from Eastern Europe, reduce the U$ military presence in Western Europe by 50%, end the Nuclear Sharing policy with NATO, lift all Sanctions on Russia, and recognize Crimea as part of Russia, with the caveat that the US will continue selling advanced weapons to Ukraine (I would even support selling them F-35s) in order to compensate for them not joining NATO, officially acknowledging Crimea as part of Russia, and potentially losing the other four occupied regions depending on the results of the UN-observed Referendums, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

Thread for the hellish discussion related to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™

Dump all the seemingly pointless, dubious, and frivolous questions that don't deserve their own shitty threads.
Got a question that's probably been asked a million times before? You're in the right landfill, buddy. Post it here.
Threads that otherwise might go in here will eventually find themselves become merged to this thread.

I noticed there is no thread for France related shit. So let this be one. French people deserve a safe space and guarantees for their continued existence on loser imageboards!
J'ai remarqué qu'il n'y a pas de thread dedié pour la France, alors que les salauds américains et anglais en ont des centaines. Français, ne succombez pas à l'impérialisme anglochiotte!

Every time I attend any sort of gay event, I basically just end up walking around and watching other people do things because I'm too stiff and weird to be a cool gay guy.
Despite the memes about queer people being autistic, all rhe other autists I meet IRL are all straight. And though they can be nice, I perceive the world through such a fundamentally homosexual lense that I can't possibly be close with them.
I don't know what to do. Forget a boyfriend, I just want gay friends.
Is it actually possible to build relationships as a gay autist?
Queer culture is very casual and instinctive—"vibes-based", if you will—, which makes it near-impossible for those of us who are socially disabled to actually navigate its intricacies.Every time I attend any sort of gay event, I basically just end up walking around and watching other people do things because I'm too stiff and weird to be a cool gay guy.

Made a new thread since the other one is full. You know the drill folks, gather here to discuss and/or complain about Hearts of Iron 4 and all the alt history mods that make the game relevant. From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…

What's fiction piece of work actually show a genuine well working socialist-communist society that isn't portrayed as a dystopian hellhole, the only fiction one that I can remember is the Federation from Star Trek that even their wiki straight up says that the Federation is a socialist society where money was abolished, and people actually work for their self pleasure and development, beside the Federation, there's any other examples of a well thought fictional communist society?

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

During COVID, the PMC suddenly got way more autonomy. Remote work gave them freedom to work from anywhere, set their own hours, and basically ignore old-school workplace control. Plus, they used their cultural clout to push for """woke""" causes. On top of that, the great resignation gave them serious leverage to demand raises and better conditions.
From the capitalist perspective, this looked like the PMC getting a bit too big for their britches, acting like stakeholders instead of wage workers.
Now enter generative AI. This isn’t just some productivity tool, it's capital’s answer to reclaiming control. By automating complex knowledge work like writing, coding, and design, AI threatens to replace or deskill the very roles the PMC has dominated. It lets capital reassert power by commoditizing intellectual labor and cutting out the "middleman."
In short: generative AI is a disciplinary tool, a trump card capital is playing to discipline an uppity PMC and take back the reins.
It's Capital's final anti PMC NUKE (if it works, which isn't guaranteed)

"but what about X under communism"
do you not find that this question is kind misguided? for one, communism is only the phase of human development that comes from the proletarian dictatorship and only through it. it makes sense to talk about X under the proletarian dictatorship since that one grows out of capitalist society and production, and communism comes from the worker's dictatorship. so we can kinda sketch how X (if at all) would look under the proletarian dictatorship (as lenin does often). but talking about X under communism is retarded, because it assumes X exists under communism. here are some examples>what about the state?

>Urgent Appeal: Stop the Judicial Coup in South Korea and Defend Democracy
<On May 1, 2025, South Korea’s Supreme Court issued a politically charged decision that overturned the acquittal of opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, the leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election, on charges of election law violation. Lee had endured intense repression under the administration of impeached former president Yoon Suk-yeol, having been subjected to investigation by over 200 government prosecutors, but despite countless allegations, these nearly non-stop investigations failed to result in a conviction. Now, with South Korea gearing up for a historic snap election on June 3, 2025 following Yoon’s ouster, authorities are once again attempting to convict Lee to remove him from the political playing field.

The glamor of Thangka captivates Russian journalists
Thangka, which are Tibetan Buddhist scroll paintings on cotton or silk with mineral and organic pigments derived from various sources, has flourished for millennia across the snow-capped plateau. The Gannan Tibetan Thangka, with the Labrang Thangka as its representative, was inscribed on China's National Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2008.

I'll start with my own recommendation:
Rie Himemiya from Phase Connect [EN] Gen 2 Phase Alias. A Vsinger with great covers and original songs such as Love Potion #520 and ゲテモノ (Bizarre Food) / Utsu-P ♡ to give you two examples.
Her streams as of now center around variety gaming such as her recent playthrough of Pokémon HG/SS as her first Pokémon game although she is mostly focused on Limbus Company and Library of Ruina as well as community projects like Date Ideas for Valentines season or making a love song out of Schizophrenic Maros.
However I do recommend her older VODs as well such as Sandtrix or Gayraoke for her humor and great chat interaction. If you want something more recent check out her 100 songs for 100k Christmas Special from last year. Remember to do your reps and backreading

Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.
March 15th, Belgrade Serbia
Tomorrow a huge protest will be held in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade, protesting the government’s refusal to accept the demands made by the students, as well as protesting against general incompetence and corruption. From the student to the teacher, worker and pensioner, war veterans and children all around Serbia will gather together in this protest.Is this really it?

How old is racism really?
<And, besides, those ancestors of ours had to deal with genuine Gauls bred in their own land; these are degenerates, a mongrel race, truly what they are called - Gallograeci. Just as in the case of fruits and cattle, the seed is not so effective in keeping up the strain as the nature of the soil and climate in which they are reared are in changing it.https://www.swartzentrover.com/cotor/E-Books/misc/Livy/HOR_38.htm

I'm from Poland. I noticed how much I want to make money from music and from jobs I make. But I'm also starting to notice how money breaks famillies down.

Is the fact that the Scandinavian countries have some of the strictest immigration laws in the world a form of social murder?
I’m autistic, queer and chronically ill. I currently live in America and am petrified of being a victim of eugenics. The Trump administration has made it clear they do not want me or any of my other autistic comrades to exist. RFK will soon move forward in finding a way to eradicate autistics. Same thing with queer people. The big bill that was just passed also cuts Medicare, which is crucial to my survival.
Since I’m unable to work a real job or be politically active in the streets due to my autistic and disabled identities my best option would be taking refuge in one of the Scandinavian countries. I’m particularly drawn to Iceland and Finland. All Scandinavian countries have some of the best healthcare in the world. They have the best benefits and aid for disabled and chronically ill people in the world. Very mutual aid-based cultures. And they’re basically autistic utopias since Scandinavians don’t do small talk, are very quiet and reserved, and don’t look people in the eye when they talk. Their languages are also very direct and much less ambiguous. They’re also very solitary people. I know society is what disabled me so if I could move to a Scandinavian country my disabilities would no longer be a problem and I’d be free.
But Scandinavian countries have some the the tightest immigration restrictions in the world. They don’t allow refugees fleeing from wars in so of course they won’t allow autistic comrades fleeing eugenics in. I’m fucking livid about it. Moving to Iceland, Finland or any other Scandinavian country is my only hope and the only hope of millions of other autistics in America. We are literally on the verge of being exterminated and yet we still can’t take refuge in the only countries that can save us.
So does this count as social murder, as Engels says?

Obviously I couldn't include every single nation/people fighting for liberation in this picture. It would've been especially hard to include the hundreds of indigenous nations of North & South America and Oceania. But their struggle matters too, and they too deserve freedom, justice and total liberation from imperialism and settler colonialism.
Liberation for all oppressed and colonized nations!

Discuss anything on Southeast Asian politics. Coming 2024 Elections, open orgs, People that should be dead for different reasons running in Malaysia's elections or just random shit. There are still dozens of us… hopefully! Starting off this general with massive wave of cult sex camps.

I have seen many interesting input from various anons on Stalin here, whether in the form of opinions, books, documentaries etc. They happen sporadically, scattered on different threads which rarely have anything to do with Stalin, ML or USSR. I figured a Stalin General Thread would be useful. A place where to share all things Stalin and discuss all things Stalin.
Though I am pro-Stalin, this is not a strictly Stalin-worship thread. Posts critical of Stalin too are welcome. I simply request that they are in good faith, and not just 'muh ML' trolls.

That said, both capitalism and socialism are just ways to allocate resources and distribute rewards for producing them. There's a billion things to be said about socialism resorce wise, but what critiques do we have against capitalism?
Are we making too much of useless things while we could've been making something else? e.g sex work
Are we NOT making something we should and can make? e.g housing
Are we wasting something when we could've distributed it? e.g foreign aid
Pose the most egregious examples ITT.
Let's criticize resource distribution in capitalist economies
One of the most common downsides of leftist economic policy is wasteful spending. Indeed, bureaucracy isn't perfect, gets bloated easily, and goverment employees with no incenitive to do better would fare WORSE than an employee of a private company in the same situation.That said, both capitalism and socialism are just ways to allocate resources and distribute rewards for producing them.

Geralmente, eles são os maiores fudidos pelos estágios tardios do capitalismo, não consigo compreender o que tem de tão fundamental na aliança com as feministas que justifica tal comprometimento.
Como visto no cenário atual, os esquerdistas do ocidente/latam apelam até para o eugenismo quando os homens se atrevem a sequer cogitar seus anseios.
A gente deveria estar recrutando os incels para a coalizão, no lugar de deixar que a oposição acumule todos os homens sem perspectiva de vida com maiores tendências ao radicalismo.

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.

Was the Christian genocide of European (and Middle Eastern too) pagans historically progressive? In pre-capitalist societies, centralisation of power is supposed to be always progressive, and highly organised, universaist religion like Christianity obviously is much more helpful for the centralisation of power. Besides, every single person I met who wanted to reconnect with European pagan legacy was turning out to be either New Age-brainrotten moron, either agressive Nazi-adjascent chud.
On the other hand… If we accept that the Christian genocide of the European pagans was good, then what prevents us from also having to accept that the Christian genocide of [Native] American pagans was good as well?

>While exiled in 1899, Bauman had an affair with the wife of a fellow revolutionary who became pregnant with Bauman's child. Bauman responded by openly mocking her, and circulating a vicious cartoon of her as the Virgin Mary with a baby in her womb, with a caption asking "who the baby looked like". The woman later hanged herself.
>This story had gained wide currency among Russian political exiles by the time Bauman reappeared in Switzerland in 1902, after the escape from Kiev. Some of those involved in producing Iskra, including Lenin's closest friend and collaborator, Julius Martov and Pavel Axelrod, one of the founders of Russian Marxism, wanted Bauman expelled from the organisation. In 1903, the board of Iskra adjudicated the matter, and Lenin interceded on Bauman's behalf. According to biographer Robert Service, Lenin rejected the party's right to interfere, arguing that the party's task "was to make revolution against the Romanov monarchy and to vet the morality of comrades only when and in so far as their actions affected the implementation of the task". The subsequent controversy divided the party, and has been described as "one of the many personal clashes which came to define the ethical distinctions" between the Bolshevik and Menshevik factions after 1903.
Was it really worth it to split the party over this asshole?

Clive Davis is arguably the most powerful man in the entertainment industry, moreso than Lucian Grainge and whomever runs Disney. He is 92 years old and an ultra-billionaire porky. Like Diddy, there have been rumors swarming for years that Davis is behind a lot of shady shit, namely running Epstein-like sex trafficking rings in the music industry since the 1970s. It is a known fact Davis was involved in one of the biggest payola scandals in the music industry in the 2000s. He is also known to commit tax fraud/evasion. Yet he hasn't been charged with anything. This can be explained by the suspicions Davis is a federal informant who's been working with the FBI for decades to get blackmail dirt on celebrities, identical to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Davis essentially buckbroke Diddy when Diddy first entered the music industry. Everything Diddy is currently charged with are things he learned from Davis. It gets deeper when you look at the trial. Diddy, like his mentor Davis, is also an alleged FBI informant. It's rumored Diddy orchestrated Tupac's murder (the feds wanted Pac dead because he was a Black communist breadpilling people through his rhymes) and almost certainly had something to do with Biggie's death as well. The prosecutor against Diddy is allegedly James Comey's daughter, Comney being the same prosecutor in the Epstein/Maxwell case. Given that the prosecution is currently floundering (they have yet to prove Diddy is a sex trafficker, only that he's a sexual pervert with a piss and cuckold fetish) one can easily see that this is allegedly a cover up of an alleged cover up: either Diddy walks free and everyone involved goes about doing their evil, or Diddy is found guilty and becomes the fall guy while the bigger villains (specifically Davis) go unchecked.
To put the cherry on the sundae: Clive Davis owns a school at NYU, the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Everyone who teaches there is getting paid by Clive; you can clearly see an overlap with the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

There are a variety of theories of the origin of capital, but they fail to reach any meaningful conclusions, and that is because they do not take into account this fact which we know to be true. I want to make a proper investigation into the origin of capital with the premise that it is not a socioeconomic phenomenon, that it was not created by humans, and that we should be able to locate a physical trace of capital which precedes human contact.
This line of questioning encompasses many possible origins of capital which each take us down a new road, and I'd like to start probing them ITT.
For example: capital as a zoonotic virus. Does the arrival of capital in the human world coincide with human disturbance of a particular ecosystem, increased prevalence of husbandry of a particular animal, an unusual climate or weather pattern which might have resulted in sustained human interaction with a population of birds or insects etc.
Capitalism also correlates with genetic and epigenetic changes in humans. EG, when capital is introduced to humans, hypermethylation of the glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) occurs. It is possible that a change in the environment caused a human population to undergo an acute genetic change, and that Capitalism first arose from this epigenetic event.
These are the sort of things we should be looking for physical evidence of, something hidden in tree rings, sediment layers, deep ocean currents, microscopic images of meteor fragments; this study has erroneously been delegated to anthropologists, economists, sociologists, and I encourage professionals of any and all disciplines to pursue novel theories of the origin of capital, not bound by the premise of a human origin which common sense tells us is false.

These developments concern me because the Western left won't quit. We won't admit ideological defeat, learn from China's facts, and progress towards a post-neoliberalism that is not fascist. Instead, we continue to indulge "non-hierarchical" fantasies that have failed completely. I think China has reeducated us and has taught us their approach is the most correct approach to post-capitalism. There isn't actually another correct way to do socialism, and the more time we waste the closer we come to American fascism and ecological collapse.
25 years of 21st century leftism
It's 2025. We are now closer to 2050 than 2000. What has the left achieved this century? As far as I can tell the Western left has achieved nothing. Neoliberalism continues to get worse. It has successfully created a fake opposition on the right. You can call it populism, nativism, racism, MAGA et cetera, but it is really just a controlled opposition that does whatever capitalists want. In the East we see China. China has become the world's largest car manufacturer in the last five years. This change happened post-COVID and with heavy tariffs from the West. China has also lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty within its own borders and it has become the number one trading partner of most of the word's nations, including most American nations.These developments concern me because the Western left won't quit.
