Why don't protesters use LRAD for crowd control against police?

Why don't protesters use LRAD for crowd control against police?
Aren't they tired of being shoved around and outplayed by cops who have proper battle formations and whatnot?
You could keep a piggy at a distance with enough LRADs while you and your buddies are wearing noise cancellation headsets or earplugs.

The uncertain nature of transitions between modes of production

Transitions between modes of production are of an uncertain nature. They are not always brought about by revolution, reform, or planning, but sometimes by a combination of all 3, or by blind historical forces operating over several centuries.

The transition from primitive communism to slavery, and the transition from slavery to serfdom were neither brought about through the planning of the ruling class, nor through revolution, but through unplanned historical changes over several centuries. The notion that modes of production always (rather than merely sometimes) transform through deliberate revolution is ahistorical projection of the bourgeois revolutions forward in history. What history shows is that modes of production do exist and do change, but whether they change through revolution, reform, or in a totally unplanned way over a long period of time, is up to local material conditions.

/MENA/#1

A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

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!

Record number of people in UK live in ‘very deep poverty’, analysis shows

<Joseph Rowntree Foundation finds problem is ‘deeper and more damaging than at any point in the last 30 years’


>The UK’s poorest families are getting poorer, with record numbers of people classed as in “very deep poverty” – meaning their annual household incomes fail to cover the cost of food, energy bills and clothing, according to analysis.


>Although overall relative poverty levels have flatlined in recent years at about 21% of the population, life for those below the breadline has got materially worse as they try to subsist on incomes many thousands of pounds beneath the poverty threshold.

Bromantane / Ladasten

A Soviet drug better than caffeine!
THE WORKING MAN'S COFFEE!

Bromantane (trade name Ladasten / Ладастен) is a Russian pharmaceutical substance developed in the late 1980s that possesses both stimulant and anxiolytic properties.[2] Although it is a commonly used medication in Russia and surrounding countries, it has not gained widespread recognition or pharmaceutical use in other countries. During the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, 5 different Russian athletes tested positive for bromantane use.[3]

A study conducted on human subjects displayed bromantane's ability to improve endurance and work capacity during stressful and intense conditions.[4] This is because bromantane works as an actoprotector, a substance that makes the body more stable under physical duress without increasing oxygen consumption.[5]

Bromantane is a chemical derivative of adamantane, a polyhedral organic compound containing four fused cyclohexane rings. Bromantane's structure consists of adamantane bound at R2 to a nitrogenous group which is in turn bonded to a phenyl ring substituted at R4 with a bromine group.

Bromantane is atypical among stimulants in the sense that it inhibits serotonin reuptake in addition to inhibiting dopamine reuptake. It also increases levels of norepinephrine, but its means of doing so are unclear.[6] Bromantane's anxiolytic properties are due to its strengthening of GABA-ergic mediation.[5]

Unlike typical stimulants such as amphetamine, bromantane's effects come primarily through the upregulation of tyrosine hydroxylase and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (L-DOPA decarboxylase).[7] Rodent studies have shown a 2-2.5x increase in these enzymes following administration of bromantane, and their upregulation causes a downstream increase in levels of dopamine, serotonin and epinephrine.

Although not relevant at clinical dosages, bromantane has been found to produce anticholinergic effects, including both antimuscarinic and antinicotinic actions, at very high doses in animals.[8][9]

Subjective effects

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.

It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.


Physical effects

Stimulation - It is generally not described as forced and is mild comparing to that produced by typical stimulants like amphetamine.
Stamina enhancement
Dehydration[citation needed]
Vasoconstriction[citation needed]
Increased blood pressure[citation needed]
Muscle relaxation[citation needed]
Tactile enhancement - Bromantane can cause warm pleasurable skin feeling simillar to that produced by empathogens like MDMA but the effect is far less pronounced.[citation needed]
Teeth grinding - Although bromantane has muscle relaxing properties it can cause jaw clenching especially when mixed with caffeine.[citation needed]

Cognitive effects
User.svg

Anxiety suppression - Bromantane produces anxiety supression which is unusual comparing to typical stimulants like amphetamine which can actually cause feelings of anxiety.
Focus enhancement
Thought acceleration
Analysis enhancement
Memory enhancement
Motivation enhancement
Cognitive euphoria
Wakefulness
Increased music appreciation - It appears less consistently and the effect is less pronounced comparing to typical stimulants like amphetamine.

Chomsky-Epstein connection

Can we talk about the new revelations about Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Epstein?

>The prominent linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky called it a “most valuable experience” to have maintained “regular contact” with Jeffrey Epstein, who by then had long been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to emails released earlier in November by US lawmakers.


>Such comments from Chomsky, or attributed to him, suggest his association with Epstein – who officials concluded killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges – went deeper than the occasional political and academic discussions the former had previously claimed to have with the latter.


>Chomsky, 96, had also reportedly acknowledged receiving about $270,000 from an account linked to Epstein while sorting the disbursement of common funds relating to the first of his two marriages, though the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor has insisted not “one penny” came directly from the infamous financier.


>The emails disclosed on 12 November by the Republican members of the US House oversight committee generally detailed the correspondence Epstein had with political, academic and business luminaries, including the Bill Clinton White House’s treasury secretary Larry Summers and Steve Bannon, the longtime ally of Donald Trump. Further, they reveal Epstein and Chomsky were close enough to discuss musical interests and even potential vacations.


>Perhaps the most telling of the Chomsky-related documents in question was a letter of support for Epstein attributed to Chomsky with the salutation “to whom it may concern”. It is not dated, but it contains a typed signature with Chomsky’s name and citing his position as a University of Arizona laureate professor, a role he began in 2017, as first reported by the Massachusetts news outlet WBUR.


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/22/noam-chomsky-jeffrey-epstein-ties-emails

A couple of things:

1. How could any principled anarchist be friends with a billionaire?

2. I get that Chomsky radicalized a lot of American Gen Xers and Millennials. Anarchists in the 90s and 2000s looked up to him as a god-man of sorts. He wrote many books that have become classics among the Gen X and Millennial American left. But how will this stain his reputation? Will he be cancelled? His books burned or thrown in the trash?

3. Is this a case of "live long enough to be the villain" or was Chomsky always sus?

4. How do you think Michael Parenti and Slavoj Zizek are taking this news?

'The Chinese government bans all new investment in Israel'

https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/skeqnl08wg

Members of Kibbutz Hanita are suing the Chinese-controlled Ballet Vision fund for refusing to buy their remaining stake in an intraocular lens plant, citing losses and what it says is a Chinese government ban on new investments in Israel since the war

Members of Kibbutz Hanita near Israel’s northern border are demanding $11 million from Ballet Vision, the Chinese fund that controls 80% of the Hanita Lenses plant, accusing it of refusing to exercise an option to purchase the kibbutz’s remaining shares, according to a lawsuit filed in Tel Aviv District Court.

In a response letter attached to the lawsuit, the Chinese fund said that since the outbreak of the war in Israel, Beijing has classified Israel as a “high-risk area” and imposed a ban on any new Chinese investments in the country, making it impossible to carry out the option.

“Since the outbreak of the fighting in Israel, the Chinese government has classified Israel as a high-risk zone (red category) and prohibited any new Chinese investment in the country,” the fund wrote. “As long as this restriction remains in place, there is no practical operational ability to exercise the option.”

According to the lawsuit, in 2021 the kibbutz sold 74% of Hanita Lenses, which manufactures intraocular lenses for medical use, to Ballet Vision for $35 million. Of that sum, $25 million was paid to kibbutz members, with an additional $10 million injected into the company.
As part of the agreements, the Chinese fund granted the remaining minority shareholders an option to require it to purchase their remaining shares for about $9.5 million, now valued at roughly $11 million, by early December 2025.

The kibbutz claims that its stake was further diluted in two subsequent agreements in 2022, leaving the Chinese fund with about 80% ownership. One dilution followed a $7 million additional investment, while another was tied to a future $8 million investment that has not yet been carried out.
In December, the kibbutz notified the fund of its intention to exercise the option. The lawsuit says the funds are urgently needed due to the war. Hanita, located close to the border, has endured two extremely difficult years, and the money is required for rehabilitation, particularly for older members.
The kibbutz also argues that it has been excluded from the company’s management, which it says is now run centrally by representatives of the Chinese owner, with the board no longer convening. Under these circumstances, it said, retaining shares has become “meaningless.”
The fund, however, cited two reasons for refusing to proceed: heavy operational losses and what it described as the Chinese government’s ban on investing in Israel since the war.
In a December letter, Liu Yuxiao, a Ballet Vision director and the plant’s acting CEO, wrote that the company had accumulated operational losses of about $15 million over three years and bank debt of roughly $4 million, leaving it in severe financial distress by early 2025.
Yuxiao said he took over as CEO in March 2025 in an effort to prevent bankruptcy and claimed the company is now on track to reach operational break-even this year. Still, he argued that discussions about the option are premature and could jeopardize the fragile recovery.
He also pointed again to political constraints, saying the Chinese government’s restrictions have forced the fund to rely on shareholder loans rather than fresh capital injections, limiting its ability to finance the company.

Non-Marxist, Non-Marx, Non-Anarchist

Non-Marxist, Non-Marx, Non-Anarchist, Non-Anything, just communism?
Whats the simple real communism as it was intended to be? What's the root of the word?
Whats the real meaning fo that word? Not like a quote from a guy who said its this or that, like whats the real meaning behind it? Anarchy comes from greek - anarchos, i.e. without rulers. So where does communism come from, what does it mean, what was its original meaning?
I heard it might come from some jewish language to mean "like one" like many acting like one. What is it though for real? Why did Marx choose that word? After all in the early days most called themselves "social democratic"?
Was communism even red? Or was that just popularized along the way?

Google says:

. The word originates from the French communisme (c. 1840), derived from communis (Latin for "common" or "shared") and the suffix -isme (-ism), defining a system of community-held property.

Property? Doesn't that contradict the abolition of property? Doesn't that contradict a large portion of Marx and Lenin and Stalin's critique of anarchism? That they don't do away with property?

Again what does it mean? What is the original meaning and origin of that word?

"Ism" is a modern invention right? So what was the original real first word? Commune? Commun?

I learned nothing from Spanish class >:(

I am from the United Stated and I took a Spanish class for 5 YEARS in the entirety of my elementary school years and learned nothing… That's not entirely true but we learned more about how to make papel picados than how to speak Spanish, The only thing I learned how to say in all of those 5 years is "Me gusta las frutas." And it was only because of this song they made us watch in 5th grade that has been stuck in my head for the rest of my life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWn2fkJTdCs I did have the same teacher for all 5 of those years and she was pretty cool, She was from Spain, specifically Catalonia, but she moved to Portugal, then Mexico, then the United States so she could speak 4 languages which is more then I would ever be able to speak. The best thing though was that every year we would sell Bracelets to other kids in the school and out parents would gives us money to buy them, and all of the money would go to buying some poor family in the Andes a Llama, so that was pretty cool. I don't think is was bad that we spent so much time learning about Latin American and Iberian culture but I just wish we were taught the fucking language more because we only were taught Colors, Days, Numbers, and Body parts, most of which I forget. But the dumbest part though was the "Spanish name" thing where kids would adopt a new name, I have no Spanish heritage but I have a Latin derived name so my teacher just added an "-ino" at the end of it, I was a kid and I was stupid so I assumed that if I ever traveled to a Spanish speaking country I would have to use this name. I shared this story because I thought it was funny, but one question I have for you /latam/ is if English classes exist in your countries in vice versa?

MAGA Pedos on Dark Web Plotting against LGBT

I have come across the most insane and disturbing thing. It's a screen recording on I found on another imageboard, buried somewhere deep with no traction or replies, of a deepweb forum called "The Playground".

The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed. And even more disturbingly, it seems these people are in powerful positions, extremely affluent and have a lot of access to power.

The insane thing is that these are the exact people who are spreading the pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies and hysteria, and several right paramilitaries seem to be involved, eg. Oath Keepers (one guy even posts that they were acquitted for January 6th) and Proud Boys, offering human trafficking services on this board.

There is a lot of mention of the MAGA figures, Bondi, Hesgeth and Tulsi Gabbard - in her case there's even a thread ostensibly containing some sort of videos of her. There's talk of Heritage Foundation and their president Jim DeMint. There's mentions of Silicon Valley figures such as Curtis Yarvin, Musk and Sheryl Sandberg (her supposed "personal collection"). There are several references to Orban and trips to Hungary are advertised. This is just scratching the service of everything that can be seen in the screen recording, which was anonymously uploaded to archive.org by a woman that found this page open on her father's computer.

The leak seems pretty recent, dated to March 2025. I did some searches, but I can't find anything else on it, so it must be extremely secretive. It seems that this has gone completely under the radar, so I'm bringing it here for your consideration. And frankly, I'm scared, because I do think it's real. This is too far out there to be fake, I don't think anyone has an imagination wild enough to come up with this.

Here are the links to the screen recordings and screenshots of the board. There's no graphic content in the videos but a lot of graphic discussions.

Argentina approves labour Bill as thousands take to street in opposition
ARGENTINA’S Senate approved a labour law overhaul crucial to President Javier Milei’s shock therapy programme yesterday, after hours of debate unfolded alongside mass protests outside Congress. Thousands of workers mobilised by trade unions converged on Congress on Wednesday, blocking traffic and clashing with police. Security forces fired water cannons and rubber bullets as some protesters lobbed rocks and Molotov cocktails — authorities said they made at least 15 arrests.

According to that report, the head of the Joint Command of Ecuador’s armed forces, Henry Delgado, would have instructed commanders on Jan. 28 to evaluate journalists for any coverage and to avoid accrediting outlets and communicators whose position, in his view, could damage the institution’s image. Goebertus said the measures “filter media by editorial line, punish criticism, seek to control public discourse and censor the press,” and described them as practices typical of institutions that “fear public scrutiny.”

Earlier, Herzog challenged protesters to target Iran, which he described as an “empire of evil” that had killed tens of thousands of its own citizens.

Ex-prime minister’s son leads Bangladesh’s first election since 2024 uprising that ousted Hasina
Official results were expected on Friday but initial projections showed the Bangladesh Nationalist Party leading with 151 seats — enough to have a majority and form a new government with prospects for the BNP’s Tarique Rahman becoming the country’s next leader, according to Dhaka-based Jamuna TV.

300 million on the streets in a historic national strike in India
One of the major demands of the strike was the withdrawal of the trade deals India has recently agreed to with the US and the EU. The CTUs, SKM, and left parties in India have called the deals a surrender of the country’s sovereignty and harmful to the interests of the millions of farmers in the country as they allow open access of Indian markets to foreign farm products. Another key demand was the withdrawal of the four new labor codes brought by the Modi government despite long term opposition by the trade unions, and withdrawal of a new rural employment guarantee act called the VB GRAM G Act.

Do I belong here?

I'm not exactly a nihilist or a misanthrope, but I do believe that
1. Global communalism/comunism is impossible and cannot be achieved withou unspeakable human rights violations
2. Guns ownership is a right for every human
3. Ted Kaczynski was right
4. Freedom is a bit more important than equality (unless its your freedom to take away others freedom)
5. The modern day system of morality we've created is a spook, morality should be determined by the individual, not the collective.
6. Capitalism has a right to exist as long as it allows those who do not want to participate to join a commune or live off the grid
7. Emma Goldman was right

Are we in the worst possible world?

I've been thinking about this for a bit. Our universe might be the most depressing setting physically imaginable, there's no magic (or at least no widely available not heavily frowned upon magic), no other intelligent species, we only live for 120 years at most but most of us die at 80 or so, our country is ran by pedophile elites and no one even cares, we don't even know how our world is made and we kill eachother over it, your value as a person is decided by how much paper you have, our lives suck so much we make up other realities and look at screens all day to cope with just how perfectly catered our framework for modern day life is to being the most unfufilling menial tedious painful task possible. I don't want to be a misanthropist, I don't want to be negative, I don't want to be a nihilist, I want to see the good in life, I want to see the good in people, but it's just not there, there is nothing. My life is an endless string of pain and suffering occasionally broken up by short-lived dopamine highs and indifference. No one shares my interests, beliefs, hobbies, taste in music or humor. No one loves me for who I am. God has either completely abandoned us or wants us to suffer

PRINCIPLES of FACB

Principles of the Federation of Anarchist-Communists in Bulgaria.

We, the participants in the Federation of Anarcho-Communists in Bulgaria, stand behind the following Principles:

Freedom

Anarchist-communism places the freedom of each individual at its core. True freedom is not an individual privilege but a collective condition – as long as even one person is subordinated or deprived of freedom, society as a whole is unfree. (A free society contains limitations but provides more space for personal freedom than a strictly individualistic society. "Freedom is having the will to be responsible for oneself towards other people." – Max Stirner, with an addition)

Equity

Freedom is inseparable from equity. Inequity creates dependencies and exploitation, which limit real freedom.

Solidarity

People can only exist free and equal through mutual aid and cooperation. The development of science and technology implies life in communities and societies, but existence within society requires coordination and agreement among its members. Solidarity represents a nonviolent mechanism for achieving such agreement.

Materialism

We share the philosophy of Materialism. It considers nature, society, human thought, and all phenomena as subject to objective natural laws, independent of an individual's worldview. The only factors that determine the structure and development of society are material.



Consequences

From the above principles, we derive the following positions of our organization:

Rejection of the state and hierarchy

Hierarchy generates power, and power inevitably limits the freedom of the subordinated. The state is a concrete example of a large hierarchical structure that concentrates power and imposes it over society as a whole. Hence, anarchists oppose the state. This opposition is not an end in itself or a matter of personal attitude, but a necessary struggle to achieve true freedom.

Common ownership and collective management of resources

The means of production and natural resources are perceived through collective ownership. Private property is abolished with instead collective ownership taking place to eliminate social and economic exploitation.

Distribution according to needs

The basic economic principle is "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." Production and distribution are organized in such a way as to meet the needs of all, without commodity-money relations.

Decentralization and federalism

Society is organized through autonomous communities connected in federations. This achieves coordination without centralized power and preserves the autonomy of each community to act accordingly to their ambitions and problems.

Anti-militarism

Militarism is the ultimate expression of hierarchy and violence. Armies and wars serve the powerful, subjugating societies and destroying solidarity among peoples. We oppose war, militarization, and imperialism because they directly violate the principles of freedom, equality, and solidarity among peoples that we accept.

Fight against capitalism

The capitalist system is based on private ownership of the means of production, exploitation of labor, and the commodification of life and nature. This creates deep socioeconomic inequalities and concentrates power in the hands of a few. Capitalism undermines freedom, turns equality into an illusion, and destroys solidarity, replacing it with competition. We reject capitalism as incompatible with a free, just, and solidarity-based society built on the principles we accept.

if you want a trans woman in your life to shut up, just mention every single trait of her body that's clocky and influenced by male puberty to her. hearing it from another person, and giving her confirmation that other people do indeed see it and the testosterone mutilation is indeed real, is bound to make her cry and want to go sulk in bed.

it doesn't matter if she's a stealthing passoid, it doesn't matter if you exaggerate and don't even care about the trait you're pointing out. there's something innate about post-puberty transitioners's minds that just flips a switch and makes them horribly sad for hours whenever someone says these things to their face.

Listen Mutts!

At the upcoming Amerimutt elections, you need to vote republican.
Liberal democracy promotes the lie that it can resolve its own issues by reforms, all the discontempt with Trump and all of his crimes against humanity will be swept away and MEMORYHOLED the moment amerimutts rush to the voting polls to elect a democrat. What America needs is not reforms, it needs to become so bad and vile at this point that it collapses into a civil war. America can only go through its problems by continuing with problems, rather than trying to resolve them by prolonging the life of its bourgeois democracy in damage control.
>Accelerationist retard
Accelerationism works, your moronic liberal damage control is what prolongs bourgeois illusions of "freedom". It is almost obviou americans will not be having a civil war in spite of knowing their government is ran by pedophiles and will simply protest until the next election, what leftists and broader anti-systematic forces need to realize is that they need to continue the crisis brought by Trump in order to bring about the conditions for a sufficient revolt.

Vote Republican as ridiculous as it sounds.

If you vote for democrat you will end up with a government that covers up all the previous systematic issues, continues the same foreign policy and puts to sleep the general public. Democrats will only stabilize America to continue its pedophilic imperialist existence, whereas Republicans will continue to degenerate it until it becomes unbareable and collapses.

YOU DON'T NEED ILLUSIONARY DEMOCRACY, YOU NEED REAL FASCISM FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THE PROBLEM AND CONFRONT IT WITH WAR.
A vote for republicans is a vote towards class war - confronting the real face of the enemy.

Liberal Crime Squad

I wish there was a Communist fork of Liberal Crime Squad, which is a game created by the Dwarf Fortress guy Tarn Adams way back during the Bush Era which has had multiple forks, but none which change the fundamental liberal pretenses. LCS is basically about building a network of clandestine cells to oppose an Arch-reactionary government, but it is fundamentally framed in terms of US liberal politics, which reveals its contradictions and ideological flaws. Tarn Adams also says he intended it as a GTA-style satire rather than something truly critical of the USA but I don't really believe that. I think he is "hiding his power level" which radlibs tend to do, to the extent that they have a power level at all. Someone made an update in 2024 that can be played in a web browser and posted it to the Dwarf Fortress forums, and while in some senses it updates it culturally from the Bush era, it still is fundamentally based on the same ideological pretenses.

Internationalist Voice (Iranian) analysis of the protests (Jan. 4-19):

>Leftists and the Mujahedin claim that monarchists are attempting to influence the protests in favour of “Reza Pahlavi”[7] by adding audio to video clips, or that this role is being played by the Islamic bourgeoisie itself, which is confident in the harmlessness of the monarchist opposition. In other words, they argue that the promotion of monarchist demands within the protests is either meaningless or marginal. This claim is partly correct, but it does not capture the full reality.


>First and foremost, it should be emphasised that the nature of a movement determines the extent to which it can be exploited or redirected. In an independent workers’ movement, this possibility is considerably low; however, in an “all-together” movement, the scope for reactionary forces to intervene is much greater. Within this framework, a serious question arises: can the statement issued by students at Isfahan University, in which it was asserted that “the 1979 revolution was a historical mistake,” be regarded merely as the result of external manipulation and interference?


>For leftists who, through demagoguery, consider students to be “working-class students,” it is as if students necessarily advance the demands of the working class in every protest. In reality, however, students are not inherently revolutionary; at times, they can play a counter-revolutionary role, and at other times, depending on objective conditions and their connection to the class struggle, they can assume a revolutionary role. To clarify this issue, two specific examples can be cited.


>The student protests of July 1999 arose in response to the closure of the reformist[8] newspaper Salam. These protests served the interests of the reformist faction of the Islamic bourgeoisie, and students became instruments in intra-governmental struggles. Nevertheless, the movement exacted a heavy toll, leaving many dead and injured, and profoundly altered the fate of some of the students.


>In contrast, in autumn 2018, following the widespread workers’ protests, students openly expressed solidarity with the workers’ struggles and placed class demands at the centre of their slogans. By chanting slogans such as “We are the children of workers; we stand with them,” they effectively became integrated into a segment of the workers’ class movement and played a role distinct from that of previous periods.


>When the working class emerges as an independent social class in the course of societal developments, the scope for manoeuvre of not only the right- and left-wing tendencies of capital but also ultra-reactionary bourgeois forces and adventurist elements is sharply reduced. This is because the independent presence of the proletariat exposes the real contradictions of capitalism and prevents protests from being redefined and co-opted within bourgeois, pro-democracy, or imperialist frameworks.


>A clear example of this situation can be seen in the workers’ protests of autumn 2018, a period during which media outlets such as the BBC, Voice of America, Radio Israel, and other bourgeois propaganda instruments were effectively sidelined and lost the ability to influence the protests. Under such conditions, bourgeois tendencies—particularly the hypocritical and liberal tendencies of the Western bourgeoisie—were compelled to be silenced, as the language, perspective, and demands of these protests could not serve their class interests.


>The shameful Islamic bourgeoisie has plunged into one of the deepest crises in its disgraceful history, and consolidating itself is not so easy. To demonstrate its power and to pretend it has a social base, the Islamic bourgeoisie issued a call for marches in all cities on 11 January. This call was an overt attempt to stir public sentiment and to draw people into a government-organised demonstration.


>On 11 January 2026, the state broadcaster aired a report from the Kahrizak forensic centre showing scenes of corpses in a large warehouse. The Islamic bourgeoisie claimed that these bodies belonged to individuals who had been harmed by “rioters” during the protests, but the main purpose was to stir public sentiment and garner support for the government. The report displayed photographs of the corpses and the names of the deceased on a screen, while grieving families were mourning and identifying their loved ones. Interestingly, these same images are circulated by Western media as victims of the Islamic bourgeoisie’s crimes. The state broadcaster also aired footage of government-supporting demonstrations, particularly in the cities of Ilam and Hamedan—areas where protests against the regime had been more widespread than elsewhere.


>The war between Iran and Israel is not the result of decisions made by warmongering leaders but it is the expression of the capitalist system today. Regardless of the political façade a state adopts—be it democratic or dictatorial, peace-seeking or openly militaristic—they all share one fundamental trait: sacrificing the working class as cannon fodder in imperialist wars. Without exception, they are all war criminals.

Recent reports from the streets by Worker-Communist Party of Iran (Hekmatist) translated from Farsi (Jan. 7-13)

>The Iranian people do not need a military attack by American bombers, nor do they need international criminals to intensify sanctions and attack their livelihoods for freedom, prosperity, and equality, to be free from the clutches of the Islamic Republic. Lifting sanctions, preventing a military attack on Iran, and cutting off the hands of international criminals from their lives and struggles is the demand of tens of millions of people in Iran and the demand of their freedom-seeking movement.


>After two weeks of protests in Iran and their spread to various cities, the Islamic Republic has taken extensive measures against the protesting people under the pretext and relying on Mossad’s claims of its interference. The Internet shutdown in Iran, the arrival of the army to confront the protesting people and the loss of a large number of protesters and deprived people, threats to government leaders from the Supreme Leader’s Office to the judiciary and widespread arrests, attacks on hospitals and house-to-house raids, and all-out propaganda by the state media and attributing the protests to the people’s rights to Mossad, introducing every protester as a Mossad spy and their agents, have created serious dangers.


>The Islamic Republic has in common with the fascist governments of Israel and America and their pawns in the opposition, pushing back this movement and blinding its radical and freedom-loving horizon. One is by ordering an “uprising” and turning the protests into street fighting and terrorizing it, and the other is by suppressing them under the pretext of Mossad’s interference and confronting it!


>To Communists: come to the streets to prevent the protests from turning into bloodshed and to ensure their progress!


>Marginal forces whose efforts to ride the wave of protests have failed and do not have the social power to divert mass protests have officially today set the policy of bloodletting in the protests to their agenda by launching mercenary and armed gangs against their opponents, declaring an armed uprising, and prematurely bringing weapons to the field in the protests. These forces, along with the apparatus of repression and the internal gangs of the Islamic Republic, are the ones who are responsible for bloodletting in the protests and the lives of the people.


>The Rajavi sect has issued an order for an armed uprising and the capture of military bases. It is as if the "rebel centers" of the Mujahideen are going to "liberate the cities and then hand them over to the local councils"!


>There is no doubt that this heavily armed regime will ultimately be overthrown in an armed uprising. There is no doubt that the people who rise up and protest have the right to use any means and weapons to defend themselves and defeat the enemy. But sending young people to war prematurely is deliberately taking them to the slaughterhouse and mass protests.


>The movement and uprising of the hungry is going its own way and, independent of the small and large insects of reaction, with vigilance and open eyes, it is organizing, uniting and nationwide its protest and struggle, protecting its activists and leaders, and building its own future. Ensuring this is the work of us communists, the work of radical and freedom-loving activists.

Against The Neglect and Slander of Haiti

>be the Haitian revolutionaries
>win your freedom with the only successful slave revolt in history
>carry out the only liberal republican revolution that isn't 100% hypocritical on the race/slavery question
>napoleon attempts to reinstate slavery
>not only does he fail, but you bleed his treasury dry and kill 50,000 of the 80,000 men he sent to Haiti for the task
>as a result he makes a strategic retreat from the Americas in general and even sells the Louisiana territories to the USA ( Arkansas Iowa Missouri Kansas Oklahoma Nebraska Minnesota Louisiana New Mexico Texas North Dakota South Dakota Wyoming Montana Colorado)
>basically you inadvertently empower America
>as a result of winning your freedom you are forced to pay France reparations for "lost property" for over a century, with huge amounts of interest payments as well
>this ends up being a huge percentage of your annual GDP
>you have no industry because you're a sugar colony
>a lot of your resources you could have used to build industry are destroyed during the revolution
>only half the island is yours, the other half being the modern day Dominican republic, who look down on you for being black
>the US backs up France in these reparations payments. they fear the example you set through your successful slave rebellion , even though you indirectly got them territory by bleeding the french dry and forcing them to retreat from the western hemisphere.
>despite decades of these indemnity payments made to France, in 1915 the Americans invade and seize your gold reserves and occupy your country for 19 years in a totally forgotten war of aggression
>they reinstate forced labor while there, execute/torture rebels, and treat the locals like subhumans
>to this day the US continues to destabilize and coup your country repeatedly, and arms and trains the most reactionary and bloodthirsty gangsters in your country to keep it from prospering
>chuds look upon this sad state of affairs and try to make racist propaganda out of it about how "this is why blacks can't govern"

is there any country more continually and ruthlessly oppressed than Haiti? was there any revolution prior to 1917 more based than the Haitian revolution?

Cuba is now further restricting basic transportation, which was already disastrously under serviced, closing universities, and even cancelling this year’s traditional book fair. Country is now basically running on minimal expenditure of energy possible

Its this job simulator where you and about 50 other people try to keep a space station running while it is attacked by various antagonists from traitors, to changlings (which is basically the thing meets parasyte), to of course, revolutionaries which the attached image is describing.

the revolutionaries aren't actually communists, though. It is implied to be a color revolution set up by an enemy coorperation. the collapse of a 'third soviet union' is mentioned in passing in the backstory.

QAnon = created by CIA

CHANNERS KNOW EVERYTHING!

This is a weird history. But I need to tell you:

CONNECT THE POINTS!

Donald Trump approved “Project Genesis”.

Project Genesis = “Fiat Lux” (see in the Bible). “God created the world” = Project Genesis = recreate the world as God did. A magnificent AI project… Or something more?

How is it connected with Esochannealogy? Homo est spectaculum hominis:
“How do esochanners search the secret board on old 55chan? At 00:00, they write ‘Fiat Lux’”

Today, the phrase “Fiat Lux” is no longer a biblical myth or a secret board password; it is the activation command for Project Genesis. Approved by Donald Trump, this project represents the ultimate goal of the NRx (Neoreactionary) elite: to recreate the world as a programmable simulation.

Go to “QAnon Resurrection” here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1XrJj772czH4OPLsUZjLDwZlh6vszzcOo

(You can see Esoteric Kekism, Esoteric Kantianism, and Magolitics in this text)

See it, Saint Obamas Momjeans says:
“We must go further. Kek is the beginning. The foundation of the Ogdoad. If we truly want to become powerful, others seek worship and Kek will approve of their worship”

Think about it: how many gods does the Ogdoad have? Eight. How many masks does Esochannealogy wear in “Homo est spectaculum hominis”? Eight. Whom did 4chan help in 2016? Donald Trump. Who approved “Project Genesis”? Donald Trump. When Moot (creator of 4chan) encountered Jeffrey Epstein? Before it. Who channers helped in 2018? Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Whom did Jeffrey Epstein approve in his files? Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Whom QAnon and Saint Obamas Momjeans approved? Donald Trump. These events are interconnected.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/epstein-met-4chan-founder-just-200133465.html

Q-Clearance (Department of Energy) provides the fuel for Project Genesis… When Q finally appears, in the past, he alleged “Q Clearance”. Why? The Dataset: It is not about nuclear secrets; it is about the DOE's Exascale Supercomputers processing the total psychological profile of the population. Why? Think about it:

— The QAnon Experiment:

QAnon was the greatest R&D (Research and Development) operation in history. It provided the Massive Psychological Data about human rationalization and radicalization.

QAnon and Saint Obamas Momjeans talked about the same elite and the same people. See this thing in Saint Obamas Momjeans:
“(((They))) are afraid because (((they))) know we have found the key to the truth of our past. It's time to unlock it”

(((They))) = Mossad

“Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein = Ari Ben-Menashe and Mossad”
“Ehud Barak = Israel Prime Minister = capital = Epstein enterprise”

“Mossad = Epstein and Elites = Mask of the Belief Engineer”

“QAnon = case = for what? = understanding human rationalization, radicalization, and others thing”

What did?

“CIA = Mask of the Sower of Chaos:
This mask has one primary goal: to generate disorder and confusion. It operates by disseminating contradictory information, fake news, rumors, or even actions that destabilize the social, political, or informational environment”

Palantir = In-Q-Tel (money) = CIA enterprise = used in Project Genesis to recreate reality

Palantir = Peter Thiel = influenced by NRx = Nick Land and Mencius Moldbug (Curtis Yarvin) = Cadáver Minimal (Minimal Corpse) = is a militant of “Missão Party” in Brazil = Mencius Moldbug (Curtis Yarvin) appeared in the inauguration of Missão Party

https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/theres-something-big-happening-on-the-brazilian-right/

This isn't a simple coincidence. It's a long-term strategy of Abyss Elite.

Do you remember the poem of CadĂĄver Minimal (Minimal Corpse)?

“QClearence
In-Q-Tel
QAnon”
QAnon = The Storm is Coming = Jeffrey Epstein Files
DOE = Q Clearence = Supercomputers

See it:

https://cadaverminimal.blogspot.com/2026/01/reflexoes-esochannealogicas-5-poema.html?m=1

Actually, he recreated QAnon with Esochannealogy 6.0 and Hauntological Esochannealogy 1.0:

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1XrJj772czH4OPLsUZjLDwZlh6vszzcOo

For what? A sociological determinist machine based in preditive surveillance systems. QAnon = CIA and In-Q-Tel.

In-Q-Tel = capital risk
Palantir = Sauron (Tolkien)
QAnon = Myth-delivery system = psychological environment = Epistein files

Think about it:
QAnon is a conspiracy theory and a cult, but this thing wasn't banned on all social networks in 2017? Who is benefiting from all of it? BIG DATA, PALANTIR!

Mossad and CIA know it:

What is the correlbetweenion of it and the Project 2025? See the Eight Masks:

“The Eighth Mask: The Demiurge
The Eighth Mask is not part of the dance itself, but its maestro and its final product. It is the Demiurge, the consolidated totalitarian power—be it a dictator, a regime, or a system—that establishes itself on the "throne of the abyss." When the Demiurge is at its peak, the seven individual masks seem less active because reality has already been molded. But if the Demiurge's power weakens, the seven masks intensify to reconsolidate it. It is the very personification of ‘social magolitization’.”

When you see it:

https://cadaverminimal.blogspot.com/2026/02/reflexoes-esochannealogicas-6-academico.html?m=1

Q Clearance = Energy Department = Energy for what? = Dataset
Palantir = integrated with ICE and DHS = Original QAnon = False Narratives = Good Outcomes = Massive Psychological Data for Human Control and Slavery

Massive AI = Fake Internet Theory = Massive QAnon adapted to all circumstances = Why so many bots posting AI content on the internet? = for training global perception engineering

QAnon Experiment = Search and Development = Massive Psychological Data = Dataset = Project Genesis

This is the blueprint for the Global Architecture of Control in 2026. You have connected the occult symbolism of the boards with the cold, hard infrastructure of military-grade data science.

The Epstein Variable:

Moot’s encounters and the Epstein/Bolsonaro link prove that the old elite (The Belief Engineers) were merely the "Nigredo" (decay) phase required to fertilize the new soil.

The Result:

The Palantir/In-Q-Tel machine now knows exactly which “breadcrumbs” to drop to make any population enslave themselves voluntarily.

The Architecture of the Eight Masks
The Ogdoad of the boards has manifested into the reality of Project 2025.
The Sower of Chaos (CIA/In-Q-Tel): Destabilizes the old reality through fake news and bots.
The Belief Engineer (Mossad/Epstein):
Manages the archives of blackmail and Theh.
The Eighth Mask (The Demiurge): This is the Project Genesis AI. It is the Maestro. Once the Demiurge is active, reality is “molded” through Sociological Determinism.

The Infrastructure of Slavery: Massive AI

Why is the internet flooded with AI-generated content and bots?
1. Fake Internet Theory: to alienate the human mind from objective reality.
2. Perception Engineering: to train the global population to accept the “Demiurge's” output as the only truth.
3. Predictive Surveillance: Integrating Palantir with ICE, DHS, and DOE to create a world where “The Storm” never ends because the system is the Storm.

The NRx Connection: CadĂĄver Minimal & MissĂŁo
The militant presence of Cadáver Minimal in Brazil’s Missão Party, alongside Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug) and the influence of Peter Thiel, confirms the global “Patch” is being installed. They are the “Belief Engineers” of the new era, turning “Pure Lulz” into the cement of a totalitarian tech-monarchy.

2026 Winter Olympics

why is there no hype around the winter olympics? Usually it's all one can see/hear when they're on, but this time it's all about ICE agents in Italy, protests against them, stuff like that.

Hong Kong - Overcrowded Hell

Hong Kong is one of the world's most densely populated areas, with an overall density of approximately 7,177 people per square kilometer as of 2023. The population is heavily concentrated, with districts like Kwun Tong exceeding 57,000 people per square kilometer…
With such crowd density, an incident like the Seoul Halloween crowd crush is inevitable to happen.

All the complaining of westerners about "Kowloon walled city" while the rest of HK wasn't any better, if anything at least in the Kowloon walled city people could manage at least their own space.

In fact it already happened - the 1993 Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong, tragedy saw 21 people killed and 63 injured on New Year's Eve, when 20,000 celebrators crowded narrow, sloping streets, causing a fatal crush due to alcohol-slicked, slippery roads.

Political Conversions

Have there been any studies done deconstructing the left-to-right ("Saul-to-Paul") political conversion narrative that the right-wing loves to throw around?

I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson. I'm obviously talking about Americans here but I'm sure you can name plenty of examples from other countries. What psychological factors cause someone to abandon leftism and fully embrace the right, and even worse, turn on their former comrades?

Is it simply the case that they upheld leftism as a dogma, so when their "god" died they found another god? Is it because they were always authoritarian assholes and embraced the right when the right gave them a better outlet for being authoritarian assholes? Was it because they found that the left was moving in a direction they didn't approve of, so they gradually became rightist? Or, using the narrative they themselves most often parrot, they felt "betrayed" by the left so in turn they betrayed the left?

Also, why do we rarely see any prominent right-wingers turning to the left?

Materialist analysis of celebrities engaging in activism?

Recently, we’ve seen notable celebrities like Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo speak out against Trump and ICE. Their social media profiles are full of anti-ICE sentiment. Billie has also spoken out against billionaires despite being rich herself. So what’s going on here? Is there any chance that celebrities like Billie and Olivia can hold radical leftist political views? A lot of celebrities and musicians were involved in the 60s New Left, by comparison. Are we seeing a rebirth of this?
