Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.
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.
Statement of the Workers’ Councils of Arak: All power to the councils! (Jan. 12)
>“To the workers of Markazi Province, to our comrades in Khuzestan, and to all the people of Iran.”
>For decades, our demands for bread have been answered with bullets, and our demands for dignity with prison. But today, the silence has come to an end. We, the workers of Arak’s factories, declare the following:
>Workplace control: From now on, the management of the Machine Manufacturing Company, AzarAb, and Wagon Pars factories will be in the hands of workers’ councils elected by the workers themselves. We no longer recognize managers appointed by the state or the regime’s puppet unions.
https://cpiran.org/statement-of-the-workers-councils-of-arak-all-power-to-the-councils/
Joint statement of Worker-Communist Parties of Iraq and Kurdistan (Jan. 7)
>The protests come amidst profound political transformations in the region and a clear decline in Iranian influence, which had expanded in recent years through militias and their allies, relying on funds looted from the working class and the welfare of the lranian masses. In the same vein, American imperialism, known for its bullying and unwavering support for fascist regimes, foremost among them the state of lsrael, is attempting to market itself as a defender of human rights and a supporter of the demands of the lranian masses, by brandishing the threat of blatant intervention, as recently occurred in Venezuela the two Communist Workers' Parties in Iraq and Kurdistan, while declaring their full solidarity and support for the just demands of the lranian working class and the masses yearning for freedom and dignity simultaneously warn against relying on American policies or allowing its intervention which plays a role in providing the lranian regime with pretexts to escalate its repression of the protesters.
>Any real change, any tangible improvement, and any victory for the protests in lran depends on maintaining their independence, separating their ranks from American imperialist policies, and preserving their class and popular unity.
>Long live the working class of Iran
>Long live the just demands of the Iranian people for freedom and equality

Our answer could only be in feminism.
Under capitalism, feminism confronts the system’s foundational oppressions. Class struggle is inherently gendered ergo it is a necessary revolutionary force.We need a world where everyone gets a pancake, with a side of goth girl spit

Thread guidelines:
• Please remember to add a spoiler to NSFW and extreme content such as graphic violence and gore.
• Try your best to not derail discussion too much from the main events and relevant places where the war is taken place, as well as other happenings, groups and public figures related to it.
• Meta discussion of the historical, philosophical and ideological background of the war is fine as long as its done in good faith and comradely.
• In the event the meta discussion overstays its welcome, participating users will be referred to take the conversation to the INTERNATIONALISM general thread.
• Quality shitposting and original content is encouraged! Spamming glowie memes is low effort.
• this is /ISG/ for people who treats geopolitics like shitty map games
• behead NATO, crush NATO, etc.

socialism in space?
spaceflight doesn't seem very popular among leftists recently. what does /leftypol/ think about it? are the moon and mars just playthings for billionaires? will china do anything differently? is socialist thought relevant to future lives beyond earth or is it all just a scifi obsession?

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?
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.

Hezbollah should do a revolution in Lebanon
The west installed christian supremacy in Lebanon, and they way to undo is to turn it upside down and make Shias the ruling minority in Lebanon.

Losing Islamist Iran period means losing Iraq to a power vacuum.
Losing Islamist Iran to communists is doomsday scenario for capitalists, the resource rich region is filled with unpopular regimes and immiserated workers. Iran and Iraq (the most susceptible for revolution) alone make up a quarter of the world oil supply. The stakes are too high to allow an unpredictable mass movement (that cannot be entirely controlled) to overthrow the regime.
Iran poses zero threat to western imperialism, in fact in places like Iraq and Lebanon it is the lever that is maintaining it. Decades of wheeling and dealing through backchannels have exposed this myth for what it is - a false dichotomy that sets the ideological framework for US and Iranian imperialism in the region, so-called "Axis of Resistance" and "Forces of Order"
Does this mean they're in agreement on everything and Iran is secretly run by da juice? Of course not, that's conspiratorial and Kautskyist nonsense. They're united in so far as their class interests meet, mostly in suppressing workers and maintaining the status quo.
Will this last forever? No, eventually a war will break out due to capital's growing contradictions and the need to counter overproduction through destruction. The region and the world broadly have yet to fall into designated camps for such event to happen, that will spark the a third global imperialist war.
Don't fall into this false dichotomy, or prepare to be disappointed. Learn from the communist parties in the region who have reached this conclusion.
No war but class war

Is it possible to fix American culture?
American culture, and I'm not talking about cultural objects like Burgers, Banjos, Straw hats, or Seersucker suits or cultural Music like Country, Rap or Jazz. Im talking about behavioral culture like Hyper consumerism, Hyper materialism, American exceptionalism, or the insane Police and Military culture that's normalized. Like the last two could be fixed if the left plays its cards right but the consumerism and Materialism thing I think could be permanently bricked into the American brain. I live in America and I will always remember this time when ii was a kid and my family was on our way back from a road trip and we stopped at a McDonalds that was around an hour away from our and my little brother was upset that my Dad forgot to order a Root-Beer so he said "Don't worry we will pass like 15 other McDonald on the way home." And he said that like it was normal. I don't even think that in countries like Europe you can just walk into a Walmart and get like 47 different flavors of Oreos, Like I don't think that its inherently bad but there is no way that we get the stuff to make those Oreos without exploiting the labor of Sugar farmers in or from Guatemala or something, if it was self reliant then its fine but America doesn't manufacture anything we use anymore, Our entire economy is just 5 AI companies shuffling money between themselves. I will always remember that time that Trump was doing in interview about the Tariffs and he said "Well maybe Girls in America can have two dolls instead of thirty dolls" and although I hate Trump and his hostility to China he Isn't wrong about how kids don't need to have 30 of the same dolls to survive, and of course that is why the liberal media attacked him for saying that more then the stuff that deserves condemnation.

I've become convinced more and more this is inevitable soon and you all should be preparing for it. Even if the bubble pops that doesn't mean the end of AI. That just means it becomes centralized to a few surviving players, most likely google, who, unlike openAI can afford to burn millions a day for a very long time and will most likely get gibs from the government to keep it going until its profitable. In fact if the bubble pops it becomes even more likely that AI will actually be profitable.
And no, UBI is not coming, especially not in the US. Even if it did it would not be nearly enough for people to afford to live in most places. Most UBI proposals dont even cover a month's rent in most places, and past UBI experiments have had mixed results.
So yeah buckle up everyone, I hope you're ready.
Why socialists should support AI
Socialists should be hoping that the promises all the rich guys make about AI come true. This would create massive revolutionary potential in the US and rest of the world just like that. If AI replaces even just a portion of jobs that could result in sustained structural unemployment rate of like 10-20% possibly even greater. We will see a mass concentration of capital and thus mass proletarianization of the petit bourgoeisie as consumer spending craters. Big businesses will pivot to b2b and luxury markets to retain whatever profit they can but most small businesses wont be able to survive. This will also kill job hopping culture which was a major factor in weaking unions.I've become convinced more and more this is inevitable soon and you all should be preparing for it.

It is truly fascinating to watch you petty-bourgeois moralists clutch your pearls over actually existing socialism, entirely ignoring that your axioms are derived purely from liberal ideology and fail to account for the material conditions of a besieged proletarian dictatorship attempting to industrialize a plow-based feudal economy into a nuclear superpower in two decades while facing the combined hostility of the entire capitalist world. This dialectic extends inexorably to the PRC as well; for as it has been aptly noted, the productive forces necessary to defend a revolution must be equal to the productive forces attacking it.
Perhaps if you had actually engaged with Capital instead of merely skimming the back cover of The Conquest of Bread or watching CIA-funded video essays, you would comprehend that a revolution is largely the most organized, centralized, and terrifying thing there is. All that crying about "Red Fascism" because the Soviets didn't immediately dissolve the state apparatus while the Wehrmacht was knocking on the door constitutes a counter-revolutionary betrayal of the proletariat.
So please, put down whatever anarchist, leftcom, or revisionist slop you are currently consuming, stop fetishizing failure, and recognize that your "pure" socialism is a phantom; the Real exists only as the profane, this-worldly, dirty-Jewish muck of class struggle. Formally apologize to the General Secretary for your embarrassing lack of theoretical rigor NOW.
Ultras still seething/Dizzy with success
It becomes imperative for the various strains of infantile left-deviationists (be they the Bordigist armchairs, the dumpster-diving anarchists, or the idealistic voluntarists still clinging to the metaphysics of spontaneity) to immediately confront the sheer magnitude of their historical illiteracy and sign the attached document with the requisite humility.It is truly fascinating to watch you petty-bourgeois moralists clutch your pearls over actually existing socialism, entirely ignoring that your axioms are derived purely from liberal ideology and fail to account for the material conditions of a besieged proletarian dictatorship attempting to industrialize a plow-based feudal economy into a nuclear superpower in two decades while facing the combined hostility of the entire capitalist world.

Granscianism is the most recent "update" to Marxism after Leninism. It explains we can't have revolutions in developed capitalist states, and says that we need to form a proletarian counterculture to challenge the prevailing capitalist common sense (war of position), before trying to directly cease power (war of maneuver).
Marxist-Leninists (stalinists) are too dumb to understand this.

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?

The move was a central demand of hunger strikers Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed, Lewie Chiaramello, Teuta Hoxha, Jon Cink, Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib, who began re-feeding in line with medical guidance on Wednesday evening. It came as Elbit lost out on a £2 billion contract that would have seen the company train up to 60,000 British troops each year over a decade. Elbit has secured more than 10 public contracts since 2012, but campaigners said the latest decision marked a significant shift.

Rightward shift rips apart the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance
In Brandenburg, Crumbach declared that the party, for which he served in government for a year, is no longer fit for anything, not even for the opposition. He described it as a “troublemaker” that no longer wants to shape society. Wagenknecht countered with accusations of “betrayal” and “electoral fraud.” BSW state chairwoman Friederike Benda accused the renegade MPs of having “abused their roles in the BSW for months in order to blackmail the party” and said that Crumbach lacks the courage to “fight for a real political project.”

Technocratic committee overseeing Gaza transition revealed
The committee will be overseen by Bulgarian former UN Middle East peace coordinator Nickolay Mladenov. The diplomat is reportedly set to serve as the high representative of a Donald Trump-led "Board of Peace" tasked with overseeing the implementation of the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire. …. Meanwhile, Sami Nasman, a retired senior Palestinian Authority security officer and a longtime critic of Hamas, will become the minister of security. In 2015, a Gaza court sentenced Nasman, in absentia, to 15 years in prison for inciting "chaos" and allegedly orchestrating assassination attempts against Hamas leaders, Asharq al-Awsat reported.

Major Aleppo offensive looms as Syria moves on Kurdish SDF positions
A government announcement on Wednesday said that SDF-controlled areas to the west of the Euphrates were now a "closed military zone" and called on "all armed groups in this area" to withdraw to the east of the river. On Thursday, the Syrian army gave civilians around Deir Hafer a deadline to leave the area before a battle for the town begins, which appears to be part of a plan for a wider offensive to capture SDF territories to the west of the Euphrates River.

India shuts Kashmir medical college – after Muslims earned most admissions
As soon as local Hindu groups found out about the religious composition of the college’s inaugural batch in November, they launched demonstrations demanding that the admission of Muslim students be scrapped. They argued that since the college was chiefly funded from the offerings of devotees at Mata Vaishno Devi Temple, a prominent Hindu shrine in Kashmir, Muslim students had “no business being there”.

Left-wing Pakistani leader freed after two months in jail
Ali, along with two other leaders of the MKP, Momin Khan and Sher Mohammad, was arrested by the security forces on November 13 last year. He was charged under Pakistan’s anti-terrorist act for resisting the forced eviction of families in a village in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. Others arrested with Ali were also granted bail by a judge on Sunday. However, it took three days for the authorities to finalize their release.

Left-wing Pakistani leader freed after two months in jail
Ali, along with two other leaders of the MKP, Momin Khan and Sher Mohammad, was arrested by the security forces on November 13 last year. He was charged under Pakistan’s anti-terrorist act for resisting the forced eviction of families in a village in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. Others arrested with Ali were also granted bail by a judge on Sunday. However, it took three days for the authorities to finalize their release.

However, you hear of the increased growth of tomatoes, for example, in Mexico, because of their comparative advantage, and of impressive manufacturing sector in things like automobiles and even increasingly electronics. These are remarkable things. In the big picture as an internationalist you have to support them here, to the extent to which you thank trade for these things.
On the other side of the deal you read just as many stories today of towns wiped off the map by deindustrialization, and that even though productivity has increased employment for these high-value added has declined without end. This is the issue with trade in at least the Anglo-sphere, and once upon a time the former Soviet Union at the minimum: deindustrialization. I know it's likely somewhat controversial to discuss these two groups together, and it might be a mistake, but the inquiry stands.
I'd like to discuss what's the problem with deindustrialization, and how does it relate to trade?
Internationalist Trade Policy
When I was a kid I remember reading about rural agriculturalists in Mexico who after the signing of NAFTA found themselves priced out, for the production of corn I think, and forced into migration or poverty. I also recall hearing that the TPP (and apparently NAFTA), operated largely to enforce "corporate rights" as persons, or even more, in the imperial periphery, beyond the lowering of tariffs. In these details there can be nothing but opposition.However, you hear of the increased growth of tomatoes, for example, in Mexico, because of their comparative advantage, and of impressive manufacturing sector in things like automobiles and even increasingly electronics.

Until Now, as Israel becomes the first country to officially recognize Somaliland.
Somaliland has an extremly strategic position as the entry of the Black Sea, Israel would probably desire an ally in the region in order to counter the Houthis, especially now that the officially Yemeni government has all but collapsed.
But Israel has also mentionned Somaliland as a place to deport the Palestinians.
This recognition is also part of a series of diplomatic victories for Somaliland, Ethiopia, Taiwan and the USA are also considering recognition.
It can be wondered if Israel has lifted the taboo over recognising Somaliland and if other countries will follow it in its recognition.
As for Somalia, it will contest it diplomatically, but it can hardly do anything, as it's embroiled in a civil war.
But not all is rosy for Somaliland, as it doesn't control all the territory it claims, as the de facto independant state of Puntland managed to take over border territories in Khamuto State. Tensions in the region are also rising between Eritrea and Ethiopia as the latter threatens to invade the former in order to regain the sea access it had lost in 1991. While Ethiopia is Somaliland's most important ally, Somaliland might want to also want to distance themselves from an ally that aggressively desires sea access.
Israel becomes the first state to recognize Somaliland
Having declared independance in 1991, Somaliland had long saught international recognition, but despite it's relatively stable governance, this never worked, sure they managed to get a few deals with other countries, Notably Taiwan and Ethiopia, it had never managed to get formal recognition.Until Now, as Israel becomes the first country to officially recognize Somaliland.

This set of aesthetic includes: talking in a nasally and whiny way, upward inflection, limbs flopping around, slouched stance, indesicive movements, intentional shabbiness in dress or over-attention to dress, over-qualification (or redditifcation) of speech (“I might be wrong but…”), distancing or discomfort with tools, mechinary, firearms, navigation, etc. A meme-word captures this aesthetic aptly, “soy.”

Many men on the left and centre, in critiquing patriarchal norms, have gone further and made a point of rejecting aesthetic standards traditionally associated with masculinity.

I am currently in search of a new online home. Having experimented with numerous platforms over the past two years, I was captivated by X for a long time. However, I believe I have now discovered something superior: Substack.
In truth, I appreciate X for its seamless integration of text, video, and imagery, not to mention its unparalleled diversity of perspectives. Yet, my main grievance with X is the brevity of its text content. This is precisely why I am exploring Substack; it captures the best elements of X but offers the space for more long-form writing.
The platforms are relatively similar in terms of free speech, but Substack prioritizes high-quality 'effortposts.' You can publish in-depth articles or share shorter, tweet-like updates called 'Notes.' I wasn't aware of how much Substack had transformed!

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

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

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.

The idea that:
>American empire must collapse to achieve communism.
And
>American proletarians have no revolutionary potential.
Being somewhat compatible is impossible.
How does America collapses and then a continuation of that geographical pole of economic influence doesn't appear again? What exactly is the way that the continental mass that was once called the United States of America doesn't become, by virtue of their natural resources, industrial machinery and population, an economic powerhouse again?
I personally think that the way to stop this would be for a socialist America to happen, that way, an imperial, capitalist nation won't take its place, but in order for that to happen we would need a proletariat revolution to take its place which automatically implies that the American working class is revolutionary.
Do they really?
Do multipoltards realize that two of their main positions are straight up contradictory?The idea that:

This specialization gradually introduces inequality: leaders accumulate authority, private property appears, and social ranks emerge. The game models this shift through systems like organization hierarchies, diplomacy, and class-based housing. Over time, patriarchal families, inheritance, and noble titles develop, solidifying class divisions. In this way, Primitive Society Simulator portrays the long historical transformation from communal, cooperative tribes into societies defined by hierarchy, property, and power.

Primitive Society Simulator
Primitive Society Simulator is a historical society-building game that lets players guide a prehistoric tribe from a simple communal existence to a stratified civilization. It begins in an egalitarian “primitive communist” stage, where resources, labor, and tools are shared, and there is little distinction between individuals. As the tribe develops agriculture, metalworking, and trade, it begins to produce surpluses, allowing some members to specialize as craftsmen, warriors, or leaders.This specialization gradually introduces inequality: leaders accumulate authority, private property appears, and social ranks emerge.

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.

Joint statement of Worker-Communist Parties of Iraq and Kurdistan:
>The protests come amidst profound political transformations in the region and a clear decline in Iranian influence, which had expanded in recent years through militias and their allies, relying on funds looted from the working class and the welfare of the lranian masses. In the same vein, American imperialism, known for its bullying and unwavering support for fascist regimes, foremost among them the state of lsrael, is attempting to market itself as a defender of human rights and a supporter of the demands of the lranian masses, by brandishing the threat of blatant intervention, as recently occurred in Venezuela the two Communist Workers' Parties in Iraq and Kurdistan, while declaring their full solidarity and support for the just demands of the lranian working class and the masses yearning for freedom and dignity simultaneously warn against relying on American policies or allowing its intervention which plays a role in providing the lranian regime with pretexts to escalate its repression of the protesters.
>Any real change, any tangible improvement, and any victory for the protests in lran depends on maintaining their independence, separating their ranks from American imperialist policies, and preserving their class and popular unity.
>Long live the working class of Iran
>Long live the just demands of the Iranian people for freedom and equality

Joint statement of Worker-Communist Parties of Iraq and Kurdistan:
>The protests come amidst profound political transformations in the region and a clear decline in Iranian influence, which had expanded in recent years through militias and their allies, relying on funds looted from the working class and the welfare of the lranian masses. In the same vein, American imperialism, known for its bullying and unwavering support for fascist regimes, foremost among them the state of lsrael, is attempting to market itself as a defender of human rights and a supporter of the demands of the lranian masses, by brandishing the threat of blatant intervention, as recently occurred in Venezuela the two Communist Workers' Parties in Iraq and Kurdistan, while declaring their full solidarity and support for the just demands of the lranian working class and the masses yearning for freedom and dignity simultaneously warn against relying on American policies or allowing its intervention which plays a role in providing the lranian regime with pretexts to escalate its repression of the protesters.
>Any real change, any tangible improvement, and any victory for the protests in lran depends on maintaining their independence, separating their ranks from American imperialist policies, and preserving their class and popular unity.
>Long live the working class of Iran
>Long live the just demands of the Iranian people for freedom and equality

Being into femboys doesn‘t make a man gay or bisexual. This may sound like a cope to avoid admitting to being either, but think about it.
Men who are into femboys are usually men who are also into women. And what they are into in femboys is a heteronormative presentation of femininity. Such men are usually not into men who look like men. One could then argue this is a preference, but a preference would mean that they are still into men but merely prefer this type of man. This isn‘t the case for men who into femboys though. Of all the people who are male they aren‘t turned on by any of them except femboys. So it‘s not a preference, it‘s exclusivity. Finally, men who are into femboys are generally not interested in sucking dick or being fucked in the ass.
We either conclude that 1) this is bisexuality but a very, very limited form of it with peculiarities that make it distinct from ordinary bisexuals who are attracted to average men, or 2) it is heterosexuality, but a redefined version whose basis isn‘t biology but certain signifiers and presentation, or 3) these men are standard heterosexuals but given enough female elements the gullible human brain mistakes it for a woman and lights up the horny center of the male brain. Evolution did not foresee cute, horny femboys and therefore didn‘t exclude it as a pointless mating option.

The strike was called by the General Secretariat of Christian Educational Institutions in Jerusalem and later joined by all private schools in East Jerusalem. It follows Israel’s decision to limit the number of days on which work permits are granted to teachers from the West Bank.

Iran’s judiciary suggests fast-tracked trials for protesters
Iran’s judiciary has said it will move swiftly against those arrested in massive nationwide protests now into their third week, signalling fast-track trials and executions. Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, the head of Iran’s judicial system, delivered the warning in a video released by state television on Wednesday, calling on courts and prosecutors to act without delay. “If we want to do a job, we should do it now,” Mohseni-Ejei said, adding that any pause would undermine the state’s ability to deter further violence.

Ugandan voters go to the polls amid soldiers on the street
UGANDANS go to the polls today in an election that is likely to extend the rule of the long-term president while raising concerns about transparency, hereditary rule, military interference and an opposition strategy to prevent vote tampering at polling stations. President Yoweri Museveni, who has held power since 1986, seeks a seventh term that would bring him closer to five decades in power.

‘Home Secretary tells MPs that the government will reinstate powers to fire chief constables over ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans
Protests are being arranged in Birmingham as Palestine and anti-racism campaigners slammed Westminster interference in local politics over the ban from a match against Aston Villa in November. West Midlands Police and crime commissioner Simon Foster declined to sack chief constable Craig Guildford without “full and proper consideration” after Ms Mahmood told MPs that the government will reinstate the Home Secretary’s powers to fire chief constables.

The UK is watering down plans for mandatory digital ID cards after a backlash
Officials confirmed Wednesday that it won’t be compulsory for citizens and residents to show a digital ID card in order to get a job, ditching a key plank of the policy announced in September. “The digital ID could be one way you prove your eligibility to work,” Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander told the BBC, alongside other documents such as biometric passports. The government said detailed plans for digital ID cards will be “set out following a full public consultation which will launch shortly.”

France's government survives two no-confidence votes over Mercosur deal
The Socialist Party had ruled out backing the no-confidence motions and the conservative Les Républicains also said they would not vote to censure the government over Mercosur. As a result, both motions failed. The one tabled by LFI received only 256 votes in favour, 32 votes short of what was needed for the motion to pass. The second motion, put forward by the far right, received 142 votes in favour and also failed.

Quebec premier François Legault resigns from post in surprise move
The surprise resignation of the businessman turned politician follows months of chaos that has rocked the governing CAQ. Key ministers and allies have stepped down and polling suggests his government faced long odds of re-election in the fall. Some polls suggested the party, which won majority governments in 2018 and 2022, could lose all seats in the upcoming election.

Urban poor residents demand compensation from DSWD for disaster victims
Urban poor community residents affected by the recent typhoons trooped to the Department of Social Work and Development (DSWD) national office on January 12 to demand compensation that should’ve been distributed. Led by Kadamay, they sought to hold a dialogue with DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian but was refused. “More than six months have passed since typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong struck, along with the successive floods caused by the southwest monsoon,” said Kadamay. “But until now, millions of Filipinos remain neglected and have not received fair compensation.”

Government panel proposes mandatory integration program for foreign residents
The panel proposes an integration program that takes into account the needs of not only individuals, but also their family members as a unit. In the program, which foreign nationals intending to live in Japan would be required to take part in before and after entering the country, participants would gain basic knowledge about Japanese society and administrative procedures. The panel suggests that participation in the program be made a condition of residence.

‘Bizarre’ bonuses and sausage sizzles: how Australia’s outsource call centres try to lure in poorly paid workers
Tens of thousands of Australians speak to government agencies every day about sensitive matters, including tax debts, pensions, aged care, and disability and support payments. But few know they are probably speaking to a private contractor, without the training, pay, conditions or public service support of a civil servant. Guardian Australia has interviewed more than a dozen call centre workers at four private contractors with government agency contracts; the US private equity-owned Probe Operations, the Nasdaq-listed Concentrix Services, the British multinational Serco, and TSA Group.

South Yemen secessionists, supported by the UAE, are crushing the Saudi puppet state and took over most of the cities in the Southern part of the country, also taking control of the Oman-Yemen border.

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

1. Long-form text is more analytical, more structured, etc.
2. Analytical text produces a enlightened disposition of mind.
3. This enlightened disposition is responsible for a degree of functioning in the western world.
Politically the most interesting question is how this new mode of thought at the dictates of a our material culture might resonate with different policy advocacy and rhetorical tactics. As someone just sort of reforming their political axioms, this is more of interest for personal reasons than political reasons however. I've a tendency not to watch videos, but have lately been watching some videos liked the attached, and some anime, but could it be that avoiding these things is beneficial for the attention span.
There have been studies [^2] which indicate that short-form video has a significant negative impact on attentional functions and self-control. One could see the same being true of long-form video, and short-form text, although likely to lesser degrees.

This [^1] is the most conservative article I've read in a while, but I think there's some truth to it and I'd be interested in hearing other's opinions. Well, many of the points mentioned do not resonate such as that the decline in the Flynn effect might be related to cell phones, or that reading creates a more dissident disposition (clearly videos have been quite effective in mobilizing people against genocide for example), or that innovation is declining in the modern world. Perhaps the core that does is as follows:1. Long-form text is more analytical, more structured, etc.

The Palestine movement failed miserably to stop the genocide because the movement is largely one of SYMBOLIC politics, not one of instrumental politics. It’s not about the Palestinian people but about angry western youth letting off steam. This exact BDS movement has become about self-righteous zoomers showing off how “virtuous” they are by boycotting Starbucks and Coke, never mind that boycotts are supposed to be a militant tactic and weapon to attack an enemy head-on. The campus protests from 2024 were also aimless and did nothing except get a bunch of students and professional activists arrested. Makes sense that NYU banned criticism of Zionism right afterwards.
Let this be known for the next time the world is thrown into a state of crisis.
The Palestine movement failed miserably to stop the genocide because the movement is largely one of SYMBOLIC politics, not one of instrumental politics. It’s not about the Palestinian people but about angry western youth letting off steam. This exact BDS movement has become about self-righteous zoomers showing off how “virtuous” they are by boycotting Starbucks and Coke, never mind that boycotts are supposed to be a militant tactic and weapon to attack an enemy head-on.

Website owners are now at the mercy of the cert authorities. Host something they dont like? you cert gets revoked and now your site wont load on 99% of web browsers.
you have been shutdown.
>What is the dead internet theory?
Dead internet is partly caused by a generational problem, zoomers just want to be where they're friends are. it's understandable, we even did the
same back in the 2000s. everyone was on AIM and myspace. The only difference is those platforms actually did allow free speech back then. now the
internet has become more centralized and a handful of big corps run it all. they are in charge of what gets said on their platforms. not you.

Big tech is fighting a future war. They know the young are the future. It’s about indoctrination. They are building their vision for the future. A dumbed down controlled population.

You need a semi-auto rifle, specifically an ar15.
They're accurate, lightweight, high capacity, and can shoot quickly.
An ar15 is recommended due to their customization and versatility. Parts and ammo for an ar are also very easy to get (at least in the US). The 556 round has proven time and time again to be effective. Sure an ak might look cooler but they are often more expensive and not as reliable as an ar. This guide will be US centric so a lot of the advice maybe won't apply to you if you live elsewhere.
Ar15 Basic Guide:
You can save money by getting a separate lower and upper. They're easy to put together. The upper matters a lot, the lower much less so. Oftentimes complete ars will have an overpriced lower so buying just the upper and the lower separate can save you quite a bit.
Handguard style: I always recommend M-Lok. It's lighter and better than keymod and allows easy attachments. I honestly don't see any reason to choose anything else unless if you just don't like the feeling of m-lok for whatever reason in which case you can research alternatives.
Length: The length you'll likely end up using is 16", this is as short as you get without dealing with any annoying laws. For whatever reason anything below this is much more of a hassle to get. 16 is a fine length anyway. A 20" will shoot the round faster and a bit further, but the military decided to move away from it in favor of a shorter length. I don't think the extra speed makes enough of a difference to justify the extra length. As for going shorter the rifle will get less accurate but for close quarters combat (such as inside buildings) this is preferred. Specifically an 11.5" is a great option. Remember though the military used 20" barrels inside for years. If they can do it so can you.
Tldr: Buy a 16"
Brands: Now this part depends heavily on your budget. If you're well off I would recommend just buying a complete Daniel Defense ddm4v7, it's high end and out of the box simply works. (Around $2k) The next runner up is a BCM upper and an aero M4E1 lower. This is still pricey but cheaper than the ddm4v7 and has 99% of the performance. You can also get a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport III for around $700. There are many other brands but these are just to give you an idea of what's out there. There's also PSA guns for under $500 but honestly you're betting on this thing to protect your life, you may as well spend the extra money.
I got to go to work so I'll continue this a bit later. I'm going to write up parts about Pistols, Holsters, Plate Carriers/Armor, boots, Gloves, magazines, optics, etc.
Beginner's guide to firearms and other equipment
This guide will be purely talking about equipment. There are many other resources for training and organizing. I will leave out anything that requires further knowledge, this guide is meant to be accessible NOT in depth. This guide is meant to be shared to people who do not own a gun or are otherwise ignorant. If you have any suggestions or corrections I will edit it. Once the final product is complete I will turn it into a pdf and a simple image guide to be shared. This is a collaborative project so if you think something I said is stupid, let me know.You need a semi-auto rifle, specifically an ar15.

Gay hot or not?
Post pics of men and other posters will tell you if they are hot or not. I will start by posting a picture of Tyler Robinson, the guy who shot Charlie Kirk.

How unusual is it to be heavily into "hons" in lack of a better word? I legit find them much hotter than passoids. Btw I'm a trans girl myself only willing to have relationships with other transgirls (I simply do not trust cissoids anymore). Are there any more people like that? SHOW YOURSELVES.
Vid unrelated.
