>What is Social Production?
We want to build a world where capitalism is no longer the default. We believe in collective ownership, democratic planning, and meeting needs directly without markets, bosses, or profit motives.

Social Production, call for community input
My team and I are building a new kind of social networking platform, where communities can organize, produce, and distribute goods and services collectively, outside of capitalist market structures. Our goal is to make social production and distribution as seamless and democratic as possible.>What is Social Production?
- A peer-to-peer (P2P) network where every user is a node, no central authority.
- All decisions (from project rules to resource distribution) are made by the community, using transparent, on-chain voting.
- Projects are created, funded, and managed collectively. Outputs are distributed based on need, not profit or labor input. All plans for distribution will be agreed upon before production begins.
- All transactions and changes are recorded on a blockchain for transparency and accountability (not for speculation or data storage).
- All collective assets are held in trust by a non-profit foundation, managed transparently and only as directed by community decisions.
- The system is designed to be cross-platform (desktop, web, mobile) and open to anyone who wants to participate.
- The goal is to build enough productive capacity and community resilience that participation in the capitalist economy becomes a choice rather than a necessity. Collective funds of projects intends to be temporary, giving us legal acquisition of means of production from which to build upon.
We want to build a world where capitalism is no longer the default. We believe in collective ownership, democratic planning, and meeting needs directly without markets, bosses, or profit motives.
>Where are we now?
- We have a basic system design and a public GitHub for collaboration.
- We’re documenting everything before implementation, so everyone can help shape the foundation.
- We’re discussing key questions: security, verification, governance, and more.
- We have a Discord (and are open to alternatives) for real-time discussion.
Anyone interested in building a new future—designers, developers, organizers, theorists, and anyone with a passion for collective action. No single skill set required, if you want to help, there’s a place for you.
>How can you join?
- Check out our GitHub to see the project and contribute ideas or code.
- Join our Discord (link is on the GitHub project) to discuss.
Come on leftypol, can we do more than just shitpost online?

I propose we set up a fund, that leftypol can collectively put money into, and then we donate what we raised towards the Nuestra America Flotilla. Comrade Hasan Piker is also participating in the flotilla!
I know that for myself and many comrades Che and Fidel are heroes, it is important if we can help keep alive their legacies, and embrace the idea of the New Socialist Man (or the New Cuban Man) by showing comrades this humanity.
It is also important that the socialist exemplar that is Cuba which had sent many healthcare professional the world over during the Covid Pandemic, continues to show socialist governance as a model to many nations.
I'd advise sometime we set a similar thread for Palestine, I'd recommend 'The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East'.
It is likely best to be discussed here and on our matrix, where details finalised on the leftypol matrix and updates here too, so as to ensure comrades money can properly get sent across. If not, then independent donations can made, relevant links are down below.
So post in this thread to think how we can make this happen and join the matrix!

Let's cross a few low-hanging fruit off the list because apparently this board is filled with infantile /pol/transhumanist hamburgers who kneejerk at an OP without reading any replies:
<You can't vote our way out of a bourgeois system!
Yes.
That doesn't contradict the material benefits that even minor reforms bring to our ability to build a revolution.
<The only options are war criminals! I don't want to vote for a war criminal.
This is a selfish moral argument, comparable to someone who doesn't want us to kill reactionaries because violence will hurt their conscience.
<Even succdems are compromised by capital.
Yes. Conversely, they are more likely to be susceptible to pressure from worker organizations and popular movements. Electing a manipulable government is a valid tactic in forcing pro-worker change. In my country, some of the most pro-labor eras have been under anti-labor, but weak, government leaders caving to union pressure, anti-racism activists and queer-rights activists. The conservatives even legalized same-sex marriage.
<It's a waste of time.
This is one of the few valid arguments. Good on those who were going to make it.
However, it's only a valid argument if you use that time more effectively.
<My vote is statistically worthless.
This is a self-fulfilling prophecy - it's only true when enough people believe it's true.
But if you are in a region where that can't be changed, simply vote for a communist candidate for propaganda purposes. Or, in some systems, funding purposes.
Electoral Abstainence is Nonsense

For a while now, threads related to Iran have been hijacked by an ultroid who bemoans the death of petit-bourgeois wreckers as 'prole deaths', who supports Israeli-American colour revolutions, and who openly cheers the Israeli-American bombing of Iran, without forgetting the obligatory russophobia and sinophobia. That OP is most probably a persian diasporoid faggot who added lefcuckism as his list of misfortunes.

Social Production, call for community input
My team and I are building a new kind of social networking platform, where communities can organize, produce, and distribute goods and services collectively, outside of capitalist market structures. Our goal is to make social production and distribution as seamless and democratic as possible.>What is Social Production?
- A peer-to-peer (P2P) network where every user is a node, no central authority.
- All decisions (from project rules to resource distribution) are made by the community, using transparent, on-chain voting.
- Projects are created, funded, and managed collectively. Outputs are distributed based on need, not profit or labor input. All plans for distribution will be agreed upon before production begins.
- All transactions and changes are recorded on a blockchain for transparency and accountability (not for speculation or data storage).
- All collective assets are held in trust by a non-profit foundation, managed transparently and only as directed by community decisions.
- The system is designed to be cross-platform (desktop, web, mobile) and open to anyone who wants to participate.
- The goal is to build enough productive capacity and community resilience that participation in the capitalist economy becomes a choice rather than a necessity. Collective funds of projects intends to be temporary, giving us legal acquisition of means of production from which to build upon.
We want to build a world where capitalism is no longer the default. We believe in collective ownership, democratic planning, and meeting needs directly without markets, bosses, or profit motives.
>Where are we now?
- We have a basic system design and a public GitHub for collaboration.
- We’re documenting everything before implementation, so everyone can help shape the foundation.
- We’re discussing key questions: security, verification, governance, and more.
- We have a Discord (and are open to alternatives) for real-time discussion.

This is until the rise of the 969 movement which although fully formed as a cultural and political movement in the 2010s[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/969_Movement]. With said movement going back to the main leader joining the 969 movement in 2001[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/969_Movement]. Their main emphasis and messaging being on the protection of Burmese/Buddhist culture and the majority race of Myanmar from Muslims. Which sounds scathingly similar to the messaging utilized by the European far-right as of current which is a complete branching out compared to older and less contemporary far-right European movements which often, as I've stated have a total or near focus on race.
The 969 movement also happens to utilize the same methods of transmission utilized by the European far-right, being through social media in the form of Facebook, symbolism through flags or esoteric symbols or dog whistles such as "969". But none of these tactics were seen in the 21st century European far-right until they were utilized by the Burmese far-right which shows greater support for the potentiality of collaboration or at least implicit admiration occuring from the European far-right towards the Burmese far-right as the 969 movement had been the ones who pioneered this much earlier. This is then also supported by how European far-right activity even in the 2010s were relatively limited with the only center of these exact methods/tactics being solely from Burma. These said propaganda tactics firstly started with the propagation of Wirathu's messaging the the 2000s form of propaganda in the form of CDs [https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/govt-admits-not-doing-anything-to-stop-sales-of-anti-muslim-propaganda.html].
Then in regards to the transmission of modern tactics this is firstly seen in the form of a direct webpage, the earliest archive being from 2013 [https://969movement.org/what-is-969-movement/]. But compared to other far-right European movements this wasn't just a webpage, it already due to past propagation of propaganda through CDs and the '969' dogwhistle has already helped the movement itself gain momentum. So when the ban of censorship was lifted in the 2010s, Wirathu used this to his advantage in the form of this site [https://969movement.org/what-is-969-movement/]. But on top of this already pre-built ideology which again has a central focus on religion also with the earliest archive also being from 2013 being a forum page [https://web.archive.org/web/20131030043058/https://969movement.org/forum/]. The forum itself contains direct categories like "General Dicussion", "Dhamma Talk" and most importantly "Organizing" which itself in the archive contains 2 posts by the admin one being "Open Positions" [https://web.archive.org/web/20131030044049/https://969movement.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6]. Which itself contains the positions of "Executive Director", "Chief Marketing Officer" and "IT Intern" but one constant remains between said positions, a requirement being that they all speak English which wouldn't have made sense unless they had direct intentions to export Buddhist Fascism across borders and eventually, globally. This was a position of media dominance never before seen for any far-right leader like Wirathu, none had an active website, an active means of coordination but most of all none of them were on the Times except of course, Wirathu. [https://www.thetimes.com/travel/destinations/asia-travel/sri-lanka/sri-lanka-bans-time-magazine-789qnnbkb85] It fact, there was so much fear at least by Sri Lankan governments that the Times magazine had the potentiality to incite radicalism and violence they'd banned it, but not the West, now a far-right leader's face was directly in front of and being viewed by the far-right of Europe.
Then finally from the 2010s to the 2020s they'd begin dissemnating more and more through the use of disinformation through Facebook. [https://www.irrawaddy.com/opinion/guest-column/burmese-neo-nazi-movement-rising-against-muslims.html] This is when their influence now combined with the website would begin permeating globally for everybody to see, thus allowing for the far-right in Europe to see a full display of tactics and coordination for the 21st century. And is now the exact same model used by the far-right in Europe and now across the globe.
And Burma has not only been co-opted for the simple means of efficiency but has possibly also been done so due to a singular alignment with Fascism's idea of a 'proletariat nation'. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6bWO3XxLfY&t=105s] In Fascist theory, proletariat nations are nations that have often been oppressed, much like how Myanmar has since the 1900s been fighting colonalism, Japanese fascism, sanctions but it has also does so whilst remaining completely and utterly Burmese. Of course, the formation of this ideology is in itself proof, somehow the poorest nation in ASEAN had the will and pride to articulate and coordinate to form an entirely new ideology that would now form a distinct branch of Fascism and of course in 2019 cause a genocide of the Rohingya population. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide] Predating this there were already Muslim shops being systematically discriminated against meaning this had been building up for about a decade now, much much earlier than the development of Fascist movements in Europe. Which completes the pictures as to why Burma would completely fit the imagination of the European far-right as unlike Japan who is although apart of the far-right movement in some capacity they are ultimately been corrupted by the West, India too. But Burma completely shatters the category in itself, not imitating European Fascism but completely asserting it's own vision. But of course like all Fascist ideologies it still has a collective myth, the most obvious being of the colonial Burmese empire, the Toungoo Empire. It arose from a small city state, a single city state dubbed "Taungoo" from about 1510-39 that seperated from Ava. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Ava] And in 1599 would grow to emcompass an entire sub-continent, systematically move entire populations, enslave them, force Theravada Buddhism, Burmese legislature and even go as far as threaten the Chinese. And of course in the 1800s during the Burmes-Anglo wars whilst entire subcontinents like India fell there weren't as many revolts. The Burmese persisted across 3 wars, across 60 years and even then 20 more years of guerilla warfare would persist. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Burmese_Wars] It even got to the point that Burma had to be give an entirely seperate constitution from British India's allowing for more greater local independence . [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_India_Act_1935#Government_of_Burma_Act_1935] And of course Burma was also the earliest of the colonies due to General Aung San's efforts to become a fully independent nation. A combination of all these fuel fascist and far-right imagination, even after an entire century the Burmese have persisted and it seems they're still going.
There was also this meeting that took place between Daw Aung San Su Kyi and Viktor Orban of Hungary where in 2019 met specifically to address Muslims[https://www.dw.com/en/opinion-in-cozying-up-to-orban-suu-kyi-falls-even-further-from-grace/a-49108276]. Coincidentally during a time when anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe was still relatively low due to the much lower population and no formal "movement" had occured unlike in the 2020s where there's already growing concerns of far-right radicalism. Simply put a noble laureate that was meant to championing Burmese democracy genuinely had no business ideologically aligning this similarly on such an issue which ends up supporting my point that Burma specifically may be playing a central role in influencing fascism in Europe and the greater far-right movement occuring in Europe as it'd simply make no sense for a policy this seperated from global discourse to have seemingly occured between Burma and Hungary of all countries. This had also happened during the year 2019 when the attacks on the local Rohingya weren't just coincidence or a singular event but now a consistently maintained state-backed policy by the NLD and Daw Aung San Su Kyi as a result. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide#2017%E2%80%93present:_Rohingya_genocide] This also highlights, directly the development of fascism to again be much earlier than that of European fascist movements which means the origins of Buddhist Fascism completely predates that of the European far-right's.
Why Burma may be the Centre of Global Fascism
I've noticed a lot of concerning patterns in regards to the direct parallels between the Fascist movements of Europe and that of Burma that are in conjunction with the Tatmadaw. The reason first and foremost being that of ideological similarity between the two movements, typically when you look at specifically European fascist they often center on race and a complete unassailable focus on the state sidelining things like religion, the true form of culture inherited from respective nation but it has never, and I mean never focused on religion.This is until the rise of the 969 movement which although fully formed as a cultural and political movement in the 2010s[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/969_Movement]. With said movement going back to the main leader joining the 969 movement in 2001[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/969_Movement].

Hotwheel's life began under conditions that reveal a great deal about the cruelty and indifference of our social order. He grew up in foster care, abandoned by his ill parents and lived with a severe congenital disability in a country that treats both poverty and disability as personal misfortunes rather than systemic failures. The fact that he had to carve out survival and meaning through the chaotic frontier of the internet says as much about the absence of collective care as it does about his determination. In a society organized around profit instead of human need, marginalized people often have to invent their own ladders.
At one point in his life, after missing a court date, he was effectively abandoned and left in conditions where he nearly froze to death in plain New York. That episode was not simply personal misfortune. It was another stark example of how the state treats disabled people as disposable, how kafkaesque bureaucratic systems punish noncompliance without regard for physical vulnerability, and how “equal treatment” in a formally neutral system can translate into life-threatening neglect. For disabled and poor people, the margin for error under our legal and social systems is razor thin. His near death in the cold was not an anomaly; it was a symptom.
He became an unlikely culture figure, not because institutions lifted him up, but because he built something that forced the world to notice him. That ascent, from social abandonment to global notoriety, reflects both resilience and the distorted pathways of recognition under digital capitalism.
From a socialist perspective, we also have to confront the material consequences of what he built. 8chan emerged from a libertarian fantasy: that “absolute free speech” detached from structure and accountability could somehow exist outside power. But no platform exists outside material conditions. Infrastructure is political. Ownership is political. The absence of moderation does not produce equality; it produces a vacuum that the most reactionary and violent forces can fill. 8chan became a space where extremism metastasized. That cannot be separated from his legacy.
Yet what makes Brennan’s story significant is that he did not remain frozen in that ideology. Learning Tagalog to try to bridge the contradiction of a disabled Westerner expat being forced to move to poorer country to exploit the exchange and income leverage for their own survival. He moved away from the right-wing milieu that initially embraced him. He became openly critical of neoconservatism, imperial wars, and the cynical manipulation of online communities by reactionary movements. He recognized, in ways that many never do, that “free speech absolutism” without a social analysis can serve the powerful more than the vulnerable.
His later support for Bernie Sanders reflected a shift toward a politics centered on material conditions: healthcare, social safety nets, dignity for working people. For someone who lived with disability, foster care, and precarity and who had nearly died because the system treated him as expendable, that turn carried moral weight. It suggested an understanding that freedom is not merely the absence of moderation; it is the presence of security, healthcare, housing, and collective solidarity.
His resistance to deleting Leftypol is another complicated chapter. On one level, it was consistent with his commitment to viewpoint neutrality. On another, it exposed the limits of a platform model that claimed neutrality while existing within profoundly unequal political terrain. Socialists understand that speech and power are intertwined; formal neutrality does not erase structural dominance. But his refusal to selectively silence left-wing spaces under pressure also showed that his commitment to principle was not purely opportunistic.
Frederick Brennan’s life is a study in how individuals navigate systems larger than themselves. He was shaped by abandonment, by digital libertarianism, by reactionary currents — and he pushed back against each of them at different points. He made mistakes with enormous consequences. He also demonstrated that ideological transformation is possible, even when it means breaking with the communities that once defined you.
From a socialist vantage point, his story underscores two truths: that techno-libertarian fantasies cannot substitute for collective responsibility, and that the state’s treatment of disabled and poor people is often punitive rather than protective. Yet it also affirms something hopeful: that people are not fixed in place by their worst chapters.
His contributions to internet culture and our very own community here on leftypol were undeniable, if fraught. More importantly, his later political evolution pointed toward a deeper insight, that freedom without material justice is hollow, and that dignity requires more than abstract rights. In the end, that recognition may be the most meaningful part of his legacy.
Rest In Peace, Hotwheels.

Racism among leftcommunism
It's time to discuss the problem of insane racism and chauvinism among leftcoms.
Virtually every leftcom on the internet constantly posts "ironic" racist memes, uses racist terminology, shits on the Third World and somehow conveniently supports the foreign policy of first world countries
How do we deal with this problem? Can leftcommunism be salvaged? Or should they be banned?

What are your thoughts on the RCP/RCA/RCI? They seem to be the only communist group that's actively trying to organize near me but maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

I hate Warhammer
I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

Who does /AKM/ consider to be the greatest military mind?
Who do you think the greatest military leader of all time was? You can answer whoever you think the answer is it doesn’t have to be from one of these photos, I just chose these because I ripped them off of a Wikipedia list of undefeated military leader. I don’t know anything about military strategy but I assume most people will answer Georgy Zhukov since he was undefeated and politically based.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was essentially a clout martyr.
Everyone is claiming this was a random air strike, but it's clear what was actually happening: his killers were driven to take his life solely for the sake of clout. They wanted infamy of their own and found it in striking down an 86-year old.
As Ali was taking his final breath, he was surrounded by kids taking video and pictures of him. Why? For clout. No one was taking his pulse, no one was calling the Red Crescent, everyone was standing around with their phones out as his body was clinging to life.
The moral lesson of Khamenei's life story should be a cautionary tale of the horrors of social media and how it's fucked our society beyond belief.
RIP Supreme Leader. See you in Jannah…

Britain's oversea territories : 18 000 km² and 272 000 inhabitants
France's Outremer : 120 000 km² and 2.8 Million inhabitants.
France's empire is then time as large and populated as Britain's.
Beyond that, Britain's oversea territories are often very autonomous, wheras France's generally don't have any autonomy, at least for the departments.
This is despite France being in a much worse situation during decolonisation, not only because it was recovering from WW2, but also because it lost against Vietnam and Algeria in colonial wars.
Nonetheless, France was able to keep those territories without much conflict, sure, there was a conflict in New Caledonia, but it wasn't major.
Britain had to fight for 30 years in a civil war to keep Northern Ireland, a territory barely a few kilometers away and whose majority (until recently) was radically in favor of unity.
What gives ? Why was France's Empire able to survive ?

In Russia, even supporting President Vladimir Putin's war policy is not necessarily enough as the security apparatus seeks to eradicate all opposition activity from the country.
This has been experienced firsthand by the Putin-loyal Communist Party, which has now found itself in the authorities' crosshairs, reports the Moscow Times.
The Communist Party is the second-largest party in Russia after Putin's United Russia, holding 57 seats in the 450-seat State Duma.
The party is part of the so-called systemic opposition that nominally opposes the regime but in practice supports Putin on all major issues.
In addition to the Communists, the systemic opposition is represented by the conservative and nationalistic Liberal Democratic Party (despite its name), the nominally social democratic A Just Russia party, and the self-proclaimed liberal New People party.
Before the war in Ukraine, the systemic opposition parties were allowed minor deviations from the official line, but nowadays they are expected to support Putin's line ever more unanimously.
"For those opposing the military actions, it may seem like there is no opposition at all, as all parties represented in parliament officially support the 'special military operation,'" summarized Stanislav Andreychuk of the Russian election monitoring organization Golos to the Moscow Times in April.
According to the Ukrainian human rights organization EHRG, the Communist Party has indeed supported Russia's war effort by, among other things, supplying weapons and ammunition to the front, supporting paramilitary groups, and spreading war propaganda.
But why is the Kremlin persecuting a party that so loyally follows Putin's line?
Parliamentary elections will be held in Russia in September, and as they approach, dozens of Communist Party members have been arrested. In the party's stronghold in the Altai region of Siberia, 11 party members have been arrested over the past three months. Among the arrested is Yuri Kropotin, deputy speaker of the regional parliament.
Gennady Zyuganov, who has led the party since the 1990s, has therefore expressed bewilderment over why communists are being persecuted.
According to a Russian election expert, the persecution of the pro-Kremlin opposition is linked to the upcoming elections. Even loyal support for Putin and the "special military operation" is not enough when the Kremlin fears that even the Kremlin-supporting opposition threatens the system.
"The Kremlin does not want the systemic opposition parties to become a focal point for protest votes," summarizes Ora John Reuter, a Russia expert at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
"[The Kremlin] is trying to suppress all forms of open opposition activity to make it harder for those opposing [the regime] to figure out who to give their protest votes to."
This is clearly visible in the Altai region, where United Russia has historically had great difficulty succeeding. In the 2021 regional elections, United Russia received "only" 33 percent of the vote, while the Communists took 31 percent.
The situation annoyed United Russia because the existence of even a nominal opposition in the regional parliament meant uncomfortable questions.
"I have been interrogated, threatened, and taken to court in the past. I thought those days were over, but now they are returning in an even more terrible form," Zyuganov laments.
Fortunately for Putin, many regional Communist Party deputies have ended up in court primarily on fraud charges. This has also been the case in many other regions.
Furthermore, it seems that nowadays Russians do not want to run as candidates in any kind of elections. The risk of getting into trouble is too high even as a United Russia candidate.
"All parties are having a hard time. When everyone sees this oppressive pressure, finding candidates and supporters is becoming increasingly difficult," an anonymous election expert points out.

It allows bot nets to flood the board with LLM-generated slop 24/7 without getting flagged by the automated spam filters. Since Pass users get higher trust scores and can post through VPNs/proxies, it’s basically a 'license to shill.'

Hey everyone. We do not come here lightly and it is with a heavy heart that we come to you and ask for monetary assistance. Not for ourselves but for a dear friend of ours who was arrested Tuesday February 24th 2026 by the police.
Sometime in November of 2025, not long after the Kirk assassination, our friend allegedly got into a conflict on Instagram with a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, when she visited their city. In this conflict he allegedly referenced Kirk's assassination and that was enough for her to take these as threats on her life and call the police on him and an investigation was conducted where they allegedly found evidence of plans to harass Bennet next time she visits their City.
He never threatened to hurt or kill her, but they live in one of the most conservative areas in the the country where stochastic terrorists like Bennet can get away with whatever and sic the police on political dissidents.
We spoke with the detective handling his case and he informed me that the state is only seeking probation for him, but as many of you know we live in a tiered justice system and the first hurdle in that justice system is bail bonds. Despite the state not seeing him as dangerous and not seeking to put him in prison or charge him with a felony they set his bail to $20K with his first court date being March 31st.
We will have to go the bail bondsman route which means we need $2k to pay the bail bondsman and get him out of jail. Or somehow raise the full $20k. Past this our friend will need assistance with court fees, lawyer fees, living and eating expenses, and more.
My friend Erik has been experiencing housing instability for over 8 months now living out of a motel in the area. He just landed a full time position 2 weeks ago and was finally going to see some stability in his life which makes the timing of all this incredibly tragic. The sooner we get him out of jail and back to his job the less disruptive this will be to his life.
His dog Jax was also taken to a local animal Shelter by the police and he has 10 days to claim him and if he does not claim Jax then Jax might be put down. Suffice to say he cannot claim Jax while in jail.
Please donate whatever you can time is of the essence here.

The idea of a religion of humanity was developed by Ludwig Feuerbach . The idea of a Promethean construction of an individual replacing God is present in Nietzsche .
The superimposition of the plane of ideas and experiences, of idealism and materialism, was one of the fundamental theses of the empiriocriticism of Richard Avenarius and Ernst Mach, greatly admired by these Russian thinkers.
The French Revolution and its Cult of Reason and of the Supreme Being provided the example of a religion organized by the State according to the ideals that the latter had set for itself.
Finally, faced with a deeply religious Russian people, the preservation of religion seemed a guarantee of success for a revolution and a new societal project.
In the issue ofMarch 1907In the Mercure de France review , Maxim Gorky defends the position of the God Builders against the atheism of Georgy Plekhanov for whom religions are destined to disappear with the advent of communism.
Anatoly Lunacharsky developed these ideas: already in his first essay, *The Atheist* (1908), he showed that pure materialism inspired a pessimism and passivity that prevented any socialist construction. It was therefore necessary to rouse the people's enthusiasm by emphasizing values of well-being and joy ( naslazhdenie ) and to propose a religion of humanity centered on humankind and progress.
The two volumes of his essay Religion and Socialism (1908) definitively established his doctrine. Religious emotion is paramount and must be redirected to build socialism. People must forge a psychological unity among all individuals, recognizing the sole value of facts and bodies (thus proposing a commandment to love them) and the value of human action. Lunacharsky perceived the religious dimension of the belief in the inevitable advent of the revolution and defined the 1905 revolution itself as the action of the people's religious forces. Christ was not recognized as God, but revered as the foremost of the Communists.
Prayers would be offered to human and national genius, to humanity and progress, and would strengthen the desire to build this future society. The ritual apparatus would be completed by rites, temples and theatres where religious plays would be performed
God Building
God Building was a Russian Marxist school of thought that advocated the construction and organization of a religion of socialist humanity rather than the abolition of religion, as defended by a strictly materialist interpretation of Marxism. Its main proponents among the RSDLP were Anatoly Lunacharsky and Vladimir Bazarov , as well as the writers Maxim Gorky and Alexander Bogdanov .The idea of a religion of humanity was developed by Ludwig Feuerbach . The idea of a Promethean construction of an individual replacing God is present in Nietzsche .
The superimposition of the plane of ideas and experiences, of idealism and materialism, was one of the fundamental theses of the empiriocriticism of Richard Avenarius and Ernst Mach, greatly admired by these Russian thinkers.
The French Revolution and its Cult of Reason and of the Supreme Being provided the example of a religion organized by the State according to the ideals that the latter had set for itself.
Finally, faced with a deeply religious Russian people, the preservation of religion seemed a guarantee of success for a revolution and a new societal project.
In the issue ofMarch 1907In the Mercure de France review , Maxim Gorky defends the position of the God Builders against the atheism of Georgy Plekhanov for whom religions are destined to disappear with the advent of communism.
Anatoly Lunacharsky developed these ideas: already in his first essay, *The Atheist* (1908), he showed that pure materialism inspired a pessimism and passivity that prevented any socialist construction. It was therefore necessary to rouse the people's enthusiasm by emphasizing values of well-being and joy ( naslazhdenie ) and to propose a religion of humanity centered on humankind and progress.
The two volumes of his essay Religion and Socialism (1908) definitively established his doctrine. Religious emotion is paramount and must be redirected to build socialism. People must forge a psychological unity among all individuals, recognizing the sole value of facts and bodies (thus proposing a commandment to love them) and the value of human action. Lunacharsky perceived the religious dimension of the belief in the inevitable advent of the revolution and defined the 1905 revolution itself as the action of the people's religious forces. Christ was not recognized as God, but revered as the foremost of the Communists.
Prayers would be offered to human and national genius, to humanity and progress, and would strengthen the desire to build this future society. The ritual apparatus would be completed by rites, temples and theatres where religious plays would be performed

I tried to get into it, I really did. I did several stints for my local FNB, helped take down fascist graffiti and flags around my city, read theory and still quietly alienated from group activities because I'm a weird trans idiot girl. Why can't anarchists abolish social dynamics along with hierarchies? Just a collective soup of people. That'd be nice I think.

I think it would be pretty easy to side with the latter out of frustration, especially if you're talentless like i am, but i think the idea that talent could be forcibly cultivated out of someone who never realized it before would be the "productive forces" argument. Not to mention that junko destroyed civilization, which is dialectically bad.
Your turn to die is a great game too, very similar to danganronpa on a surface level, i finished it a while ago and im glad i played it. Free btw. Anyone got visual novel recommendations? I need a weeb fix.

Im making a thread about VNs because there isnt one on the catalogue and i wanna talk about my experience. I just finished danganronpa 2, which im not certain counts as a VN or if it's a point and click murder mystery social deduction game, and i think im pretty confident to say that it presents a pretty interesting moral dilemma. On one hand, the hope faction is pretty clearly a technocratic organization who obsesses over "Ultimates", or people who possess immense talent in a particular field or study, for example the world's best scientist, or the world's best doctor. It is revealed in the story of goodbye despair that before despair took over, hope's peak academy created a method of artificially forcing someone to become extremely talented, which dialectically had the potential to equalize mankind and develop the talents of anyone, which would make the idea of meritocracy, or ruling over others due to better talents or knowledge, completely obsolete. Despair on the other hand spawned as a result of the mass movement of reserve students, malcontents who became disaffected with the idea that people with talent mattered more than the rest, since hope's peak academy was formed to research peoples' talents and how to cultivate them.I think it would be pretty easy to side with the latter out of frustration, especially if you're talentless like i am, but i think the idea that talent could be forcibly cultivated out of someone who never realized it before would be the "productive forces" argument.

>historical materialism
The structure of society, which reflects the mode of production (capitalism, socialism, feudalism etc), creates antagonist groups with structural interdependance aswell as structural contradictory modes of existence (i.e. the proletariat will aim to maximize their salaries, but the bourgeoisie will attempt to extract the most surplus value from the proletariat).
Over time, this creates change and conflict within societies, giving way to paradigmic societal change (i.e. feudalism -> capitalism -> …)
However, another interpretation seems to see it through the lens of the development in productive forces. In this case, the contradiction ceases to be between classes, but rather between the development of productive forces with the relations of production (i.e. feudalism preventing capitalism from developing because of taxes or irrational norms).
The first interpretation makes me tend to believe that there is no gradual change from one society towards another, and simply a dialectical movement towards the abolition of classes, whilst the second one seems to be much more technology-centric and linear.
>dialectical materialism
This one seems to be the most controversial one. From what I can gather, it seems that it originated with Engels and that it posits that the material world in eternal motion driven by contradictory forces and structured around 3 natural laws. However, doesn't this imply some form of naturalism ? Nonetheless, another interpretation that I have picked up accounts for it being the idea that man is in a dialectical interaction with his environment, by which he is able to consciously work on it whilst also being determined by the latter. This interpretation can be imo hardly derived easily from the first one.
>alienation
Every individual is intrinsically a social and creative potential, by which he can be fulfilled or alienated. Alienation here refers to the mechanisms inherent to capitalism which "alienates" the proletariat from that potential by reducing them to cogs.
In this view, the dialectic seems to change again and shifts towards individual interactions between the position someone holds in a factory and his social and creative potential.
"Humanist" marxists accept this dialectic first and foremost apparently but it seems contradictory to the Marx of the Capital.
I don't really see how all these can be reconciled. Unless the dialectic just becomes a very trivial method by which change is explained by conflicting tendencies/forces, they seem to operate somewhat on a fundamentally different level. So, what gives ? Is the dialectic purely a method by which to analyze change ? Or does it describe a real life movement ?
What's the consensus on these subjects ?
Hey /leftypol/, the more I'm reading about these topics the more I get diverging interpretations that seem unreconcilable. So, what's the global consensus on these notions ?>historical materialism
The structure of society, which reflects the mode of production (capitalism, socialism, feudalism etc), creates antagonist groups with structural interdependance aswell as structural contradictory modes of existence (i.e. the proletariat will aim to maximize their salaries, but the bourgeoisie will attempt to extract the most surplus value from the proletariat).

'No to War': Iranian opposition abroad pushes back against US-Israeli strikes
The anti-war campaign on Persian social media has also reached religious minorities who face pressure and restrictions inside Iran. In recent days, a video of Pastor Mona Pahlevani has been widely shared. Pahlevani addressed Iranians who support the war, saying: “You are responsible for the deaths of Iranians. You who asked Trump for help. Don’t come tomorrow and hold marches for the Iranian dead. The blood of the people killed in the war that Trump started is on your hands.”

Officials also revealed to The Associated Press that authorities were able to establish that the 10 Cuban suspects left the U.S. in two boats, but one failed, so they transferred all the supplies to the remaining one and left the other adrift. The government said the detained suspects revealed those details and stressed that they immediately contacted the U.S. Coast Guard.

Bolsonaro’s son ties with Lula for the first time in an election poll in Brazil
The poll indicates that Lula would defeat any other candidate in the first round with 45%, followed by Bolsonaro’s son (39%), who is gradually closing the gap since his father handpicked him as a successor. The surprise comes in the projection for the second round of voting, where the poll concludes that Senator Bolsonaro would garner 46.3%, one-tenth of a point ahead of the 46.2% for the veteran leftist, who is seeking a fourth term.

Argentina lowers age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 14, Senate approves new juvenile regime
Under the new framework, 14- and 15-year-olds accused of criminal offenses can be prosecuted and tried and, if found responsible, face custodial sentences of up to 15 years. Government allies framed the reform around the idea of “adult crime, adult punishment,” while opposition senators argued the measure prioritizes punishment over broader prevention policies and could strain provincial capacity to implement the system.

The merits of the petite-bourgeoisie in national liberation struggles are debatable but in the imperial core small-business owners are nothing but the spear-tip of reaction.
So how do we as workers actually struggle against the small-business owners? It seems like there's no direct way of struggling against these assholes. I would like high taxes and tight labor regulations but that's a wish, not actual struggle. Boycotts are also pretty useless for the working class.

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.
This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

Post left-wing redneck music.
Rednecks used to be based, I used to call hogs Rednecks before I learned of the origin of the term “Redneck.” During the Battle of Blair Mountain which was the biggest labor uprising in American history the striking West Virginian coal miners wore red paisley patterned bandannas around their necks so the cops and national guard members called them “Rednecks.” So we must Make Rednecks Based Again by posting their music from before they became chuds.

>Capitalism's main ethos is infinite profit extraction

This opens them up to other arguments like "Infinite growth is impossible on a planet with finite resources" and other things like excess, indulgence and things Capitalists encourage like gambling being a sin (Prediction markets are awful)
I then explain it's like pork, you can eat pork or drink alcohol if you need to if there is nothing else to eat or you need to numb pain under the Islamic law of Rukhsah (Exemptions out of health or other necessities) and we are forced to participate in it order to survive
This easily convinces a lot of Muslims, even ones I meet in the global south who are otherwise very conservative and even if I can't make them fully woke or whatever it's good to have people wake up to some injustice at least. Class interests come first
The main thing I'm asking is if anyone knows any similar works on Socialism from an Islamic perspective using this same logic or at least pre-modern Islamic works that meet the base principles of socialism and wants to discuss this further
Capitalism is Haram
I convinced a quite a big amount of Muslim friends and even Elder Muslim folks in my community that Capitalism is Haram with one simple argument: Usury is a sin under the the rule of "Riba" being Haram, literally meaning "infinite" or "excess" in Arabic, due to financial exploitation and taking advantage of the person.Simple

After winning a comprehensive victory to become the de facto leader of the leftwing startup party on Thursday, Corbyn will seek to rebuild bridges with pro-Gaza communities “alienated” by his rival Zarah Sultana, sources close to Corbyn said. Corbyn will become Your Party’s parliamentary leader, after an election in which Sultana was also voted on to the party’s leadership committee under its collective leadership model. Corbyn-backed candidates took 14 of the 24 available places on the party’s central executive committee (CEC). Sultana-backed candidates took seven of the seats and three went to independents.

Local communities in Croatia oppose mega-farm project
Thousands of people protested against a poultry mega-farm project in Croatia’s Sisak-Moslavina region, warning it would bring health and environmental devastation to local communities. The project envisions nearly 20 industrial sites in areas adjacent to nature parks and regions affected by deindustrialization. For months, a coalition of local initiatives and climate justice groups has contested the plan, while national authorities have evaded calls for action.

Tunisia court blocks closure of factory blamed for pollution
"The argument that there is no evidence of harm can only be seen as a blatant disregard of established and documented facts," the Tunisian Forum for Social and Economic Rights added. It said the pollution was not an allegation but "confirmed by official reports". Locals in Gabes have for years rallied against the phosphate-processing factory, which makes fertilisers mainly for export.

It does not restore visas, reopen access or resolve the wider restrictions that continue to affect aid delivery. “Despite a ceasefire agreement, conditions in Gaza remain catastrophic, and humanitarian needs in the West Bank continue to grow,” said Low.

Venezuela suspends 19 oil, gas production-sharing contracts signed under Maduro, sources say
The suspension has had no impact on the country's oil and gas output so far, the sources said. State oil giant PDVSA is selling the crude produced under the contracts while they are suspended, they added. Caracas and Washington would review the contracts and may recommend revoking some of them, the sources said. The Venezuelan and U.S. governments are reviewing the credentials of the companies that signed them, the sources added. Some of the companies are little-known and the deals were signed while Venezuela was under U.S. sanctions.

The attacks targeted Taliban military installations as Islamabad declared “open war” on the group’s government, in the most serious military confrontation between the two neighbours in years. The strikes came hours after Afghan forces launched coordinated cross-border attacks on Pakistani military positions in six border provinces late on Thursday. Kabul claimed 55 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 19 outposts captured.

Booker Ngesa Omole is the general secretary of the anti-revisionist Communist Party Marxist – Kenya and he literally got kidnapped a couple days ago by the pigs and is being tortured. Only last year a group of supposed revisionists (idk this is just what they say in their press release) invaded his home and tried to murder him with guns and military equipment handed to them by the state. The state are charging him with drugs smuggling or some bullshit. Despite this there is not a thread on leftypol about this!https://x.com/BookerBiro/status/2026389137385767389

The imperial core practices dysgenics on itself while practicing eugenics on everyone else. Imperialist social democracy will give state services, welfare, and in-home care to the disabled nonverbal person with a developmental and mental disorder so that they don't have to become a worker, while bombing the farmers and workers in third world countries. If you produce food or commodities for the imperialist mouths, they will reward you bombs, sanctions, coups, embargoes. They will rain pesticides down on you. They will practice eugenics on you, killing your old, your disabled, your vulnerable populations. And they will do this while simultaneously protecting those populations in their own country, enabling them to live when in a standard environment they would have died. They will remove all the "useless eaters" from the third world while adding more "useless eaters" to the first. It is baffling. They are literally practicing dysgenics on themselves and eugenics on everyone else. Do they even have a long game anymore? It's totally deranged.

The settler working class in America which are predominantly white, but including layers of assimilated non-white labor is not, and cannot be, the leading revolutionary subject in the imperial core. This is not moralism or identity politics; it is materialist analysis rooted in the global division of labor, superprofits extracted from the Third World (and internal colonies), and the bribe of relative privilege that turns potential revolutionary classes into social chauvinists or passive beneficiaries of genocide and plunder.
First, we must consider the structure of imperialism as analyzed through a MLM lens informed by dependency/world-systems insights and the theory of the labor aristocracy. The U.S. is the primary pole of the First World empire, a non-productive, consumption-heavy formation sustained by the superexploitation of the global South and the ongoing primitive accumulation against internal colonies (New Afrika/Black nation, occupied Turtle Island/Indigenous nations, occupied Aztlán, etc.). The "wages" of American workers are not merely the fruit of their labor but a redistributed share of imperialist superprofits via crumbs, cheap commodities, home ownership on stolen land, and the ideological bribe of white supremacy/nationalist chauvinism. This creates a clear labor aristocracy whose immediate material interests align more with preserving the imperialist system than overthrowing it. The "white working class" is not exploited in the classical sense that drives revolutionary consciousness; it is co-opted, bought off, and invested in settler-colonial continuity.
Historical evidence abounds from the 1877 railroad strikes through the New Deal labor accords to the post-WWII suburban boom and deindustrialization's selective pain, white workers have repeatedly sided with empire against colonized peoples (e.g., anti-Black pogroms, support for wars of aggression, rejection of reparations or land return). Even in moments of economic distress, reactionary populism and fascist-adjacent MAGA-ism or its left variants tends to dominate rather than proper proletarian internationalism. The classical vanguard role is foreclosed by this structural reality.
In contrast, the colonized masses; New Afrikans (Black people forged in chattel slavery and ongoing national oppression), Indigenous peoples (facing ongoing genocide and land theft), and other internal colonies all remain the principal revolutionary subjects. Their exploitation is not merely economic but existential, national oppression fused with class domination, where the "wage" is survival under carceral colonial terror, environmental racism, and cultural erasure. For them, the contradiction with imperialism is antagonistic and irreconcilable within the existing order. Land, self-determination, and abolition of the settler state are not reforms but preconditions for any genuine socialism.
This necessitates a non-traditional approach to socialism and production. The path forward is not the seizure of production factories by a mythical industrial proletariat but protracted people's war adapted to settler conditions; building dual power in the internal colonies, encircling the beast from within, and forging alliances on the basis of national liberation as the gateway to proletarian internationalism. Production under socialism here cannot mimic Eurocentric models of communist insurrection; it must draw from communal Indigenous traditions of stewardship, New Afrikan cooperative practices born of survival, and Maoist mass-line experiments in self-reliance all decolonized, decentralized, ecologically grounded, and hostile to European bureaucratic commandism / workerism.
The distributed vanguard emerges from these oppressed nations because their struggle is the sharpest knife against the imperialist beast. It is they who can most readily grasp the mass line, mobilize the broadest united front against settler hegemony, and sustain protracted struggle without the illusions of electoralism or social-contract peace. The white settler "proletariat" may join as allies through concrete anti-imperialist action, repudiating white-skin privilege, and submitting to the leadership of colonized vanguards but never as the leading force. To insist otherwise is to tail economism and social chauvinism, betraying dialectical materialism.
In short the colonized are the grave-diggers of empire precisely because empire rests on their graves. Any socialism worthy of the name in this settler hell must be anti-colonial at its core, led by those who have nothing to lose but their chains and everything to reclaim; land, dignity, and a future beyond parasitic "prosperity." The task is not to "unite" a bought-off labor aristocracy with the oppressed but to encircle, isolate, and dismantle the settler state from its internal peripheries outward.
Serve the people principally the most oppressed. Long live the national liberation struggles within the belly of the beast! From the dialectic arises the new synthesis, the distributed vanguard fights for decolonized communism or nothing. These approaches happen to instill way more fear in America's power structures than traditional euro socialism, and this is for a reason; ask yourself the last time you heard the FBI panic about the workers reading club, and then go ahead and look into about how just the words "turtle island" make them think "terror".
Decolonizing Socialism is a MUST
The classical Marxist schema wherein the industrial proletariat forms the decisive vanguard of socialist revolution must be ruthlessly interrogated and superseded when confronted with the objective reality of advanced settler colonialism, parasitic racist imperialism, and the labor aristocracy that binds large swathes of the so-called "working class" to the reproduction of empire.The settler working class in America which are predominantly white, but including layers of assimilated non-white labor is not, and cannot be, the leading revolutionary subject in the imperial core.

US says it supports Pakistan's 'right to defend itself' against Afghan Taliban
https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-says-it-supports-pakistans-right-defend-itself-against-afghan-taliban-2026-02-27/
The United States on Friday expressed support for what it called Pakistan's "right to defend itself" against attacks from Afghanistan's Taliban rulers after Islamabad said earlier in the day that the neighboring countries were in "open war."
Afghanistan's Taliban rulers had said on Friday they were willing to negotiate after Pakistan bombed their forces in major cities.
"The United States supports Pakistan's right to defend itself against attacks from the Taliban, a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group," a State Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement. U.S. diplomat Allison Hooker said on X she spoke on Friday with Pakistan Foreign Secretary Amna Baloch.
Pakistan is nuclear-armed and its military capabilities are vastly superior to Afghanistan's. However, the Taliban are adept at guerrilla warfare, hardened by decades of fighting with U.S.-led forces, before returning to power in 2021 when Washington withdrew chaotically.
Pakistan is a major non-NATO ally of Washington. The U.S. considers the Afghan Taliban to be a "terrorist" group.

I concluded this by playing a flash game called Oiligarchy which you should play for yourself and see the eco ending:
https://armorgames.com/play/2607/oiligarchy (Original)
https://www.hackedfreegames.com/game/3195/oiligarchy (Hacked/Cheats)
and by searching "when will the world run out of oil" on Google, which said:
<Based on current consumption rates and known reserves, the world is estimated to run out of economically accessible oil in approximately 50 years, or around 2052–2060.
And I once read this guy called Reza Negristani who wrote a book (Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials) about how oil is capitalism and its sentient, like he was saying capitalism needs oil, also the west runs on oil and its obviously important to them. Lots of guys like Michael Parenti and Jacques Derrida and whatnot wrote big books on how the west invades for oil, fights for oil and like is living because of oil and stuff.
So yeah, there won't be an ecological collapse / doomsday. West should fall soon. Unless they use nukes for M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) like in one of the game endings.
To address some concerns:
>We're already past the point of no return, this ecological damage is irreversible, we're fucked.
No I'm pretty sure not, but if we are its like… why aren't you doing whatever you want if its your final days? Go.
>This is just a bunch of incomprehensible stringed together info, you're getting your source from a videogame?
A flash game actually, and yes, because it is very accurate and whoever made it is probably a genius. We should try to reach out to the studio that made it, see if the guys are still alive, its like decades old by now, you should be treating it like one of those old big books by smart guys you like so much because they're old and that means experienced with ancient wisdom even if you don't admit that's what you actually think.
>The west will adapt and become more eco friendly bourgeois like in the ending.
NO, they shouldin't, its like the math I did - they run out of oil = their economy collapses = farewell west.
>The game is libcoded, dems are shown as "good eco friendly bourgeois"
So what? You don't understand the rest of the truth in the game. You are truthless.
<Oiligarchy is a 2008 satirical browser-based strategy game created by Molleindustria that critiques the influence of the oil industry on politics and foreign policy. Players manage an oil corporation, drilling for resources, bribing politicians, and influencing elections to maintain a fossil-fuel-dependent economy until resources deplete.
https://www.molleindustria.org/
They made other games, I gotta check them out, they have truth.
Just because something is simple and common sense doesn't mean its not true, in fact truth is in plain sight where you're not looking. "It can't be that simple" - but I'M PRETTY SURE it is.
So, just return to being normal? Stop worrying or caring so much, goo goo gaga yourselves, things will just sort themselves out.
Also if you're in the west (especially America, Western Europe, Anglophone nations) you should move out, things might become chaotic.

why not just send thousands of explosive drones in a big grid pattern into the sky, make them hover there and detonate the closest ones when the drone grid detects a missile passing through? the drone grid can intercept multiple missiles simultaneously, is self-healing, low-tech, and inexpensive.
this could allow 3rd world countries to massively level up their air defense capabilities, thereby increasing 3rd world power.

Instead the hero makes peace with them, accepts them for the vile assholes they are, and begrudgingly respects them for it once the hero had grown powerful enough to stand up to them and prevent them from hurting innocents (or at least hurting innocents on scale).

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.
This will be the inaugural edition to see how it goes. Welcome!
