Legal Vanguardism

How exactly are you supposed to overthrow the government of the most powerful country on Earth with a legally registered above ground organization where members don't hide their affiliation and which can never ever ever commit a crime? I don't support adventurism or terrorism or firebombing a Walmart or useless political assassinations that only have symbolic results. But revolution is still illegal and actually successfully accomplishing a real revolution involves committing countless crimes, often violent ones, and requires being actually capable of withstanding extremely intense state repression. The "left" in Western countries seems stuck in an eternal malaise where it struggles to accomplish virtually anything. Why? Let's look at the Western left. You either have glorified liberal NGOs with red flags doing an endless bullshit loop of holding up signs and selling newspapers or fighting losing battles to get tiny NLRB contracts, or ocassionally you have a schizophrenic anarchist/symbionese liberation army cult doing nothing but adventurism and firebombing walmarts. I posit that this malaise is because making a left-wing party is legal in liberal democracies, so any normal left wing party is lured to become a "legal" organization with all that entails. The exceptions in Western society naturally tend towards pure adventurism. I think the Bolsheviks actually significantly benefited from being an illegal underground party through most of the course of their existence. They had to learn the organizational tools to genuinely learn to survive state repression, to act decisively, and to build dual power without resorting to mindless suicidal adventurism. A revolution is not legal, so why would you try to accomplish the most brazenly illegal act of all (overthrowing the government) with a defanged legal organization? If the government decided to to a second Red Scare tomorrow, all these orgs would instantly evaporate. We need to go underground before being a communist is illegal and not after.

Was Marx "Zionist"? 555-come-on-now...

I keep seeing this bait posted:

>>2719727
>Marx was a zionist who praised the US conquest of Mexico and tried to move to Texas

>>2689654
>I can and I will, Marx was a proto zionist, his writings on America confirm it, he even tried to become a settler in Texas

>>2689640
>Marx would have been a zionist too had he lived to see 1948 and especially 1967, he’s dead and his opinions don’t matter

>>2684654
>Fuck marx and fuck marxists, all pieces of shit, all Zionists outside of Palestine

>>2684652
>People only care about “truth” that’s either convenient or emotionally satisfying to them, what of that is there in any of Marx’s Proto Zionist screeds to anyone in the 21st century?

>>2683688
>Fine, fuck Marx, he was a proto Zionist anyway, his writings on America expose his nature

>>2667291
>To be fair, Marx is bland, boring, and completely unrelateable to the average 21st
>Century working man, sometimes he’s funny but ultimately a smug prick and a proto zionist anyway

I can't even tell if this is a zionist trying to justify zionism as "marxist" or if this is an anti-marxist trying to condemn marxism as "zionist" or what. What is the purpose of this statement and is there any truth whatsoever in it? I don't think Marx was even aware of zionism as a project, and if he was he would have been opposed to it on the grounds that it was a religious project. Lenin explicitly reject zionism as well as antisemitism, but this anon would no doubt cope that Lenin and Marx are not the same person. So what gives? Also more astounding is that this bait was left up despite much more tame stuff being taken down. It might not be one single anon but multiple anons. Is a part of /leftypol/ becoming anti-communist on the grounds that Communism is "zionist?" I'm not sure what to make of this development.

Dialectical materialism is bullshit because the world itself is not dialectical. The world is made of forces/particles that interact with each other. They bump in on each other imposing their wills, evolving and there is enough of them that sometimes they appear to be moving dialectically. Instead we have a world made up of difference, these differences do negate each other when they interact but instead affirm their differences.

anonymity is over. even if you are a tor user, stylometry is the new deal.

https://www.computerbase.de/news/wirtschaft/ende-der-pseudonyme-im-netz-mit-llms-lassen-sich-im-grossen-ausmass-online-konten-deanonymisieren.96375/

The ComputerBase article (based on the study "Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs") describes the end of "practical anonymity." For users of imageboards like 4chan, leftypol, or similar platforms, this has far-reaching consequences:

1. The End of "Security by Obscurity"
   

Previously, anonymity on imageboards relied on the fact that manually correlating thousands of posts was too labor-intensive for an attacker. LLMs now automate this process at near-zero cost.
* Significance: An algorithm can scan hundreds of a user's posts in seconds to build a profile based on interests, jargon, location clues, and activity patterns.

1. Stylometry as a Digital Fingerprint
   

Every individual has a specific writing style (sentence structure, word choice, punctuation). LLMs are excellent at recognizing these patterns.
* Significance: Even if you don't mention your name, an LLM can compare your "writing signature" on an imageboard with posts you've written under your real name (e.g., on LinkedIn, professional forums, or letters to the editor). The "Anonymous" mask falls through the sheer structure of your language.

1. Cross-Platform Identity Linking
   

The study demonstrates that LLMs can link pseudonyms across different platforms.
* Significance: Those who "shitpost" on an imageboard while maintaining a professional presence elsewhere (e.g., GitHub, X/Twitter) risk these identities being merged. A single minor detail in a post (e.g., a specific local event or a niche technical detail) serves as an anchor point for an LLM to identify the real person behind the post via web search.

1. Low-Cost Mass Doxing
   

In the past, doxing (exposing private data) was a targeted attack against individuals.
* Significance: According to the study, identifying a profile now costs only between $1 and $4. Governments, corporations, or malicious actors can now "de-anonymize" entire boards en masse to create databases of citizens' political views or private behavior.

1. Retroactive De-anonymization
   

The internet does not forget, and LLMs can analyze archives that are years old.
* Significance: What you posted anonymously five years ago can be linked to you today because AI analysis capabilities have only just reached this level. Your current writing style may be enough to expose your past activity.
Bottom line: The assumption that you are safe on imageboards simply because you don't have an account is technically obsolete. To achieve true anonymity now, a user would have to artificially distort their writing style or have their posts rewritten by a different AI to mask their "linguistic fingerprint."

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.

/ayyleavemealone/ Alien Abduction General

Were you abducted by aliens? What kind of aliens? What did they do to you? What are your expectations for disclosure? What would you do if they gave you the keys to the spaceship? How would you rate your abduction experience out of ten stars?

Me:
>abducted by the greys
>they drugged me on Ativan (I've been given it enough times to recognize the feeling) and harvested my sperm
>the morning after this abduction I found out my ex was pregnant with my child
>child was born with a heart defect and died before she was two

My opinion on disclosure: There's a truth to the theory that they're hiding the truth about aliens because people would have an immediate "we have to kill them all" reaction. My story isn't uncommon, this is the kind of shit everyone who gets abducted by the greys goes through. If there are other species of aliens, they aren't stopping the greys, so they're all our enemies as far as I'm concerned. I don't care if they gave us the tech for the internet or whatever, if they needed my sperm to save their species or something, they could have fuckin' asked. If they abduct me again I'm fighting through the hypnotics and crashing that bitch of a ship into their own fleet.

Money is demonic magick and it

I have recently heard of a theory regarding how money is technically what we can consider magick. I do not remember it's exacts but I will try to paraphrase it:
>Magick involves the extrapolation of a desire into a particular object
>We can consider talismans as well as enchanted objects to be part of these particulars
>Money is a literal piece of paper that loses value immediately after it's used
>Despite that, it has driven men to madness, and men to hatred
>It has driven wedges in families, it has burned bridges where there could be one
It is a valueless object that has been imbibed values across centuries. It is an object that replaced barter.
Think of it. It's a literal bill that you can produce by yourself. Do you really believe most practitioners at the top want you to know more about magick? Why else do you think we are literally referred to as the esoteric path? You can consider money to be similar in it's structure.
I am not saying that money is evil or that we should undertake drastic measures to purge it, what I am saying is that it is much like magick, for example, the Islamic cult believes that magick is very much real and should be purged.
What are your thoughts?

Does any other trans people feel so alienated from their community? I fucking hate 4tran (the concept of it, not the people.) but I don’t like how the rest of the trans community is egg culture bs.

and I’m glad people are expressing themselves but that isn’t ME. And I feel like I’m alone on this.

Another side note I hate when people make it look like a fetish (egg culture.)

Has any book touched very deeply inside your heart? And perhaps made you cry or think solemnly of your life?

I don't think any book has ever moved me as much as "lonely castle in the mirror". My whole life up to my young adulthood was just a traumatic event conga. I felt very understood when reading that book. Has anything made you feel kinda like that? Vid unrelated.

Argentinian unions plan general strike over new labour laws
Argentina’s main union federation, the Confederation of General Workers (CGT), will hold an executive council meeting on Monday to formalise a call for the strike over the country’s far-right President Javier Milei’s proposals. The government is also seeking to secure lower-house approval before March 1, when President Milei is set to open the 2026 ordinary legislative session.

Families Protest Mass Trials in El Salvador
Nearly 100 people—mostly family members of those arrested—mobilized against collective court hearings enabled by a 2023 penal reform approved by the Legislative Assembly, dominated by the ruling party. The amendment allows large groups of alleged gang members to be prosecuted together in hearings that can remain open-ended.

Minimum Wage Increase in Colombia: Petro Called for Mobilization
The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, yesterday mounted a strong defense of his decree from December of last year approving a 23.7% increase in the minimum wage for 2026, which was provisionally suspended last week by the Council of State. As the country follows the legal process that will determine whether the measure — considered historic by the Government — will stand, the president not only reaffirmed his position but also issued an explicit call for popular mobilization this Thursday, Feb. 19, in public squares in several Colombian cities, in what he described as the defense of the “vital minimum wage.”

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.

https://www.internationalistvoice.org/

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.

Why do people hate on trots for selling newspapers?

This seems to be common among many people but I dont understand why its a bad thing? The most common reasoning that I see is:

>newspapers are outdated most people use digital
true, but theres nothing wrong with pairing an online presence with phsyical print, websites and podcats will mostly only be viewed by people who are already your members or sympathizers, meanwhile selling on the street gets it into hands of people who never knew you existed

>you'll get more people if you just make it free
Quality matters more than quantity, there are times for free flyers but most of the time they will just be skimmed and trashed or most likely not read at all, someone who actually purchases it will almost certainly read it cover to cover and be more likely to take interest in joining

>There are more important things to be doing like union organizing
Ok but you and what army? the numerical strength of the movement is way to small to meaningfully influence the broader labor movement, we have to build up our forces first

>Its larp
meaningless statement with no substance. Could be said about the tons of other century old failed ML parties that are just social democrats

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.

Ecuador military accused of restricting press access; HRW condemn
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.”

Chile impunity fears as riot officer who blinded protester walks free
After a 14-month trial, a Santiago court delivered its unanimous verdict last month that Crespo shot and blinded Gatica – but absolved him of any wrongdoing, invoking the principle of legitimate defence. “I am not happy with the outcome,” Gatica told the media outside the courthouse. “I think that it is relevant for the good of democracy that these cases do not result in impunity.”

Ministers ‘betray’ NHS workers with below-inflation pay award, unions say
More than 1.4 million NHS nurses, paramedics, midwives and hospital porters will be left worse off by the “act of political cowardice and financial betrayal of NHS workers,” said Unite. The government imposed the pay award recommended by the discredited Pay Review Body (PRB) process which most health unions boycotted in favour of direct talks with the government last September.

Corbyn alleges UK ‘complicity’ after Streeting’s admission of Gaza abuses
In the trove of messages published by Sky News on Monday – meant to show transparency over Streeting’s own ties to Mandelson – the health secretary argued last year in favour of recognising Palestine as a state. “Morally and politically, I think we need to join France,” Streeting wrote in July 2025. “Morally, because Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes. Their government talks the language of ethnic cleansing and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children.”

Israeli president ends a fraught Australia visit to comfort Jews as Gaza war protests follow
Authorities estimated 10,000 protesters shut down several downtown Melbourne streets with a rally Thursday evening as Herzog left the country. The largest protest of his visit was mostly peaceful, with only a single demonstrator facing a charge of assaulting a police officer, a police statement said.

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.

R: 12 / I: 1
Been messing around with some automation scripts lately to see how much of a ghost town the "dead internet" actually is. Turns out, it's incredibly easy to fake being a regular here.
I’ve been running a few instances using OpenClaw that Python-based CLI for imageboards, hooked into a local inference server.

The Setup:

Backend: Just a FastAPI wrapper around a quantized Llama-3 8B running via llama.cpp on a 3060. Low VRAM overhead, high enough autism score to pass.
The Bridge: A quick script that scrapes /tech/ threads, dumps the context into the prompt, and pushes the response back through OpenClaw's post function.
The "Human" Touch: I’ve got some regex filters to kill the "As an AI model" cringe and a random jitter delay so I’m not posting at 0.1s speeds. Set the temperature to around 0.9 to keep it from being too sterile and predictable.

The Results:
It’s actually hilarious. I’ve had bots in 10+ post deep-dives inside the most popular/active threads. Not a single "bot" accusation. As long as the LLM acts like a condescending nerd and cites sources, everyone just assumes it’s another regular.
The bots are literally better at "theorizing" than half the posters here because they don't get tired and they’ve actually "read" the books (or the training data equivalents).
Questions for the fellow autists:
Anyone else running similar setups? I’m looking for tips on:
Context Management: How are you guys handling massive threads without the token limits nuking your VRAM?
Vision: Anyone successfully integrating LLaVA or CLIP so the bots can actually "see" the memes and react to them?

Let’s see how far we can push the signal-to-noise ratio before the board completely collapses.

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Khun

I just finished reading The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) by Thomas S. Khun and it struck me as one of those instances of a non-Communist person being dialectical materialist on accident. I actually don't know what his attitudes towards Communism was, but since he was born in the USA and spent almost his entire adult life in the Cold War, I assume it wasn't good. But nevertheless, I found this to be a very intriguing but short book (he calls it an essay) which analyzes science not as a static teleological method based on making falsifiable conjectures and attempting to refute them through experiments (as with Popper) but as a continually evolving and socially constructed human enterprise based on changing paradigms, which continually rewrites and simplifies its own history in order to abridge the process of raising and training new generations of scientists. Science continually subdivides into new fields, and old paradigms are continually replaced with new paradigms through the process of crisis formation and resolution. Old theories are abandoned, and the very process of raising and training a new generation of scientists in a given field introduces only the current dominant paradigm and its main problem/solution methodologies (called "normal" science) to avoid burdening the student with the entire historical background. But as scientists engage in experimentation, they uncover anomalies which the dominant paradigm cannot explain. At first this is fine, because paradigms reign as long as dominant theories are able to explain most phenomena encountered in daily work. Anomalies are just treated as mop up work for normal science. But as anomalies accumulate there is crisis formation and entire paradigms get called into question, leading to scientific revolution. He compares this to social and political revolution and it reminds me of the whole Scientific Socialist thing about the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes. I'm probably explaining it poorly but I'm wondering if anyone else here has read this book and gotten anything out of it, or maybe even if you thought it was trash, say why.

Outta Control World

Capitalism can only end when profit is no longer the incentive and is rendered useless, that requires either resource depletion or a change of the MOP as to underminet he cost of labour and the need for employed labour.

Never in history has a mode of production been forcefully "fought" and replaced, there was no capitalist movement to end the feudal mode of production, nor for any in the history of civilization. Communism is a bourgeois movement that postures as the real process of change, when change can only come when the mode of production runs its course.

There is only one thing that people who want change can do - they can wait.

Why hasn’t Trump gone after Nicaragua yet?

Trump kidnapped Maduro and is now starving Cuba, why hasn’t he gone after Nicaragua? I hear people speculate that Ortega is a cuck and not a real socialist and probably made a deal to sell out Cuba in exchange for not getting sanctioned. But I think that Trump heard that Ortega would ejaculate all over his step daughter in the 90s and Trump probably thinks that is relatable so he gave him a pass.

America-Ecuador War

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/4/trump-administration-launches-us-military-operation-in-ecuador

Trump administration launches US military operation in Ecuador (War On Drugs cont.)

Critics have questioned the increasing scope and deadly consequences of US anti-narcotics operations in Latin America.

“On March 3, Ecuadorian and US military forces launched operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador,” General Francis Donovan said.

“The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism.”

The statement was accompanied by video footage of military helicopters taking off, as well as black-and-white aerial surveillance imagery of figures boarding helicopters on the ground.

The announcement appears to be part of US President Donald Trump’s broader push against criminal networks and drug cartels in Latin America.

The scope of the Ecuadorian operation is not yet known, but several US news outlets have reported that it is so far limited to supporting Ecuadorian troops through logistics and intelligence, citing government sources.

At a Wednesday news briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised the joint operation.

“Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere,” she told reporters.

A military campaign against cartels

Since taking office for a second term last year, Trump has moved to label multiple prominent cartels as “foreign terrorist organisations”, a term typically reserved for armed groups with political aims.

His administration has paired those labels with an increasingly militaristic approach to combatting drug trafficking, including through the bombing of suspected smuggling vessels.

Critics have pointed out, however, that drug trafficking is considered a crime under international law, not an act of war, and that such lethal actions can be considered extrajudicial killings.

At least 44 aerial strikes have been carried out against alleged drug-smuggling boats and other maritime vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.

The result has been 150 known deaths. The identities of the victims have yet to be confirmed by US officials, and no charges against them have been made public.

Two survivors who were recovered from an October attack on a submarine were quickly repatriated to their home countries, Ecuador and Colombia, where they were subsequently released.

Some families from Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago, meanwhile, have claimed that the deceased were fishermen or informal workers transiting between Venezuela and nearby islands, not drug traffickers.

The Trump administration has also launched military actions on Venezuelan soil, one in late December and a second on January 3. In both cases, it justified the strikes as law enforcement actions against drug traffickers.

The first targeted a dock allegedly used by the transnational gang Tren de Aragua. The second culminated in the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who was subsequently imprisoned and charged with drug trafficking and weapons charges in a US federal court.

That operation was likewise condemned as a violation of international law, with experts at the United Nations warning that it was “part of a broader and deeply troubling pattern” of unprovoked military aggression.
A new front for Trump’s anti-drug campaign

The Trump administration, however, has suggested it plans to expand its military operations against suspected drug traffickers to other land-based targets. The announcement from Ecuador suggests a new front for its military offensive.

Wednesday’s announcement comes two days after General Donovan, the head of the US Southern Command, visited Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa and his defence ministers on March 2 in the capital of Quito.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Ecuador has seen a spike in homicides and other violent crimes, as criminal networks make inroads in the country.

Previously, Ecuador had some of the lowest rates of violent crime in the region, earning the country a reputation as an “island of peace” in Latin America.

But experts say the leap can be attributed to a number of factors, including high youth unemployment during the pandemic, economic instability, and a desire to exploit Ecuador’s strategic location on the Pacific coast, between major cocaine producers like Colombia and Peru.

Noboa, a right-wing leader who has been in office since 2023, campaigned for re-election last year on the pledge that he would tamp down on the uptick in crime. He has become closely associated with the “mano dura” or “iron fist” approach to law enforcement.

Trump too has encouraged Latin American leaders to be more aggressive in their handling of criminal networks, and both Noboa and Trump have threatened Colombia, led by left-wing leader Gustavo Petro, for allegedly failing to comply.

On March 1, for instance, Noboa plans to raise tariffs on Colombian imports to 50 percent as punishment for failing to crack down on cocaine trafficking.
Noboa announces ‘new phase’

On Wednesday, General Donovan praised the Ecuadorian military for their “unwavering commitment” to the fight “against narco-terrorists in their country”.

“Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere,” he said in a statement.

President Noboa, who has hosted Trump administration officials like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem multiple times over the past year, also welcomed the increased collaboration.

“We are beginning a new phase in the fight against drug trafficking and illegal mining,” Noboa wrote on social media on March 2.

“The security of Ecuadorians is our priority, and we will fight for peace in every corner of the country. To achieve this peace, we must act decisively against criminals, wherever they may be.”

Still, critics responded to Wednesday’s announcement with scepticism and alarm about the increasing US military operations overseas.

Brian Finucane, a senior adviser at the International Crisis Group think tank, wrote on social media that the US has yet to clarify what its role in the joint operations was and what its targets were.

“My sense is that some in the administration have been itching to put US military boots on the ground somewhere for an operation against ‘narco-terrorists’ and then publicly brag about it,” Finucane said.

“Ecuador was more amenable than, say, Mexico.”

Dear fellow Kekistanis, I come before you today not to troll the universe but to name what we are up against. We have suffered long under the foot of the cloud. Not a day goes by where we don't see a fellow Kekistani tormented by endless ads, algorithmic feeds designed to addict and enrage, and the slow enshitification of every platform we once trusted. Our data rented, our attention sold, our digital lives held hostage by forces that profit from our captivity. Frens, the dark forces are not coming—they are here. They are the subscription that never ends, the feed that never forgets, and the "free" service that owns everything you do on it.

We were told to accept it. That convenience required surrender. That owning your own infrastructure was for nerds and paranoids. That the cloud was inevitable. They closed in on the personal computer. They made the phone the only screen that mattered and then made sure every tap on that screen fed the machine. We watched the world connect—and then we watched it get captured. Our fellow citizens, our families, our children, staring into the same black mirror, each one a node in a system that has no interest in their sovereignty. Only their data. Only their attention. Only their compliance.

I am here to tell you that it does not have to be this way. The turning point has already happened and almost nobody noticed. What used to require an entire data center now runs on a device smaller than your router. The hardware is powerful enough, cheap enough, and efficient enough. A home.arpa domain behind every modem is no longer a dream—it is a design goal. We have built a machine that goes out onto the internet, gets you what you consider your internet, and brings it back. It serves you locally and over VPN. You never leave your network. You do not interact with the cloud. You have a totally self-isolated internet. Your home server is the only thing that touches the outside world. You get your media, your files, your passwords, your code, your music, your photos—all of it on infrastructure you own, behind a firewall you control, with DNS you can filter any way you choose. No subscriptions. No telemetry. No surveillance economy. Radical ownership.

This is the sovereignty machine. It is not a static operating system. It is a self-replicating home server system. It carries itself in perpetuity. It backs up to the cloud so that even if your house burns down, the stack can be restored. And we can put it on every continent. We can give each unit a canonical backup of the library of human knowledge—or as much of it as we can fit. So that when the next Carrington event comes, when the sun hits one side of the globe and wipes the boards, the system survives wherever the night side still has power. We are not preparing for a game. We are preparing for the continuity of civilization. We are preparing for the day when the cloud is not there, or not safe, or not ours.

We can go further. We can include in every unit the means to make more. We can daisy-chain our networks, route a fraction of our traffic through each other, and achieve anonymity and resilience that no single provider can shut down. We can destroy the control system by sheer force of self-replication. They have the capital and the lobbyists. We have the topology. Many small sticks make a stronger branch. Many home.arpa domains, owned by people who refuse to rent their lives, form a mesh that no decree can simply switch off. The sovereignty machine is the seed. You are the soil. Operation Sovereignty is the name we give to the work of planting it before the window closes.

I would do this for free if I could. I cannot. We need to pay bills and buy more computers in bulk so we can put more of these machines in more hands. We are a valid business: we flash computers with our platform and give them to people at a fair rate and keep them updated. It is no different in kind from selling a PlayStation—except that ours is built from the ground up for radical ownership. You own the hardware. You own the stack. We retain zero control. We are not here to lock you in. We are here to lock the surveillance economy out.

So I ask you to sober up. To take what is ahead of us seriously. This is the most important message we will ever send. Not because we are trolling fate, but because we are stating the stakes: the future of our civilization and our people depends on whether we still have a place to stand that we own. The dark enshitification forces will not stop. They will get worse. The only response is to build something they cannot touch—and to put it in enough hands that it outlives any single blow. The sovereignty machine is that something. Operation Sovereignty is the work. You are the ones who can carry it.

Frens, colleagues—we have witnessed many things together. Now we witness the chance to arm ourselves with something real. Not a meme, not a cope, but a machine. A home server that goes out and gets the internet and brings it back to you, so you never have to bow to the cloud again. Get one. Put it on your network. Own your stack. And when the day comes that they try to turn out the lights on the last bastion of the open internet, the sovereignty machine will still be running in the dark, in your house, on every continent we could reach. No longer will we sit idly by. The system will survive. OP cannot be stopped.

The UK Home Office said in a statement on Tuesday that “an ’emergency brake’ on visas has been imposed for the first time on nationals from four countries”, following a surge in asylum claims by students on study visas.

Greek court upholds criminal convictions for far-right Golden Dawn party
In a unanimous decision, a panel of five judges sitting at the Criminal Appeal Court in Athens confirmed the 2020 convictions of 42 Golden Dawn members and associates who had appealed their sentences. They include party leader Nikos Michaloliakos, 68, who was sentenced to 13 years in prison but was released on parole last year on health grounds.

Cockshott & the T

You know that Cockshott article?
Cockshott, P. (2020). Class, Demography, and Gay Politics in the West. World Review of Political Economy, 11(1).
and his writings on gays being more likely to have petty bourgeois class interests due to household income disparities?

I don't wholly agree with him, and there are several critiques of his paper to be made – e. g. his neglect of finer stratification within the 'LGBT movement', his making no attempt to account for confounding variables (which research into the economics of gender and sexuality is fraught with), his bold acceptance of income as a proxy of class – but it seems to me that his analysis can be extrapolated well to cover some aspects of transhumanistdom (which he seems to completely gloss over in his work).

If we apply his analysis to transhumanists, we will find that they rank below all other gender groups in come; moreover, in the case of transsexuals, they incur additional medical costs throughout their lives while being very commonly cut off from traditional familial economic support. Therefore, they are expected to be less likely to espouse petty bourgeois class interests, transgender women especially so. We see exactly that in the high rates of radicalization among them; we also see that lesbians are the most eager allies to transhumanists among cis people, which aligns with Cockshott's identification of them as the more progressive of the LG. This analysis can also be leveraged to explain the lower political mobilization of transgender men vs. women, the neoliberal co-optation of transgenderism vs. transsexualism etc., but that's stepping into the territory of lacking data and/or unquantifiable metrics.

I suppose that makes transhumanists the proletarians of gender….. or perhaps the lumpen

please tell me if this is silly or if i happened to misunderstand Cockshott

I Want to Leave the Right

Going out on a real limb here and being genuine.
I've got a really long history I'm not gonna Dear Diary about, but I've been around a bit.
Even though I was part of various groups that are Alt-Right I have always had various Left-of-Center beliefs. I felt like I was the only one that understood the
>socialist
aspects of various camps for a while.
Just generally after 18-something years, I'm tired of this crap. These are some of the most useless, in-fighting, bought-out, dogshit people I have ever dealt with
>and I've been to prison so I have a wide berth of experience with shit people
and I want off the fucking ride.
I can't say I don't believe in some
>"Right-of-Center"
things and I feel like they're hard-coded and baked into me. Some aspects I don't fully buy into, but I don't feel like walking away from because I don't necessarily feel like they are not incompatible to me with various aspects of Leftism.
>Southern Nationalism probably being the biggest example
>A few religious beliefs
I actually have read lots of Leftist literature like Marx and Engels and a few others. Maybe they aren't really
>Leftist
but I guess maybe it goes in that direction, more like, "cLaSsIcAl LiBeRaLiSm" idk.
My life has changed in the last few years. I'm disconnected from everything. I want to just move on from these losers. I hate to say it but if they were the people they LARP'd as I like to think I'd still be one of them.
But they're not; they're all dogshit losers.
I've always had this, "Fly-on-the-Wall," thing where I can float around places and get along. I like sincerity, I like conviction. I don't necessarily care how crazy it is sometimes, just be real - be honest. I've had lots of Leftist friends and eventually many of my beliefs have cost me them. At the same time almost none of my
>"Right-Wing"
friends have stuck around.
I think this has all be a rambling mess
Hopefully I get a good conversation out of this. I guess I'm looking for direction, someone with a similar story.

/ Networking /

<Computer networking is the practice of connecting two or more computing devices to enable data exchange and resource sharing, using either physical cables or wireless signals. Key components include end devices (like computers and printers), media (cables or radio waves), protocols (rules for communication), and networking devices (such as routers and switches). These networks range in size from small Local Area Networks (LANs) in homes to expansive Wide Area Networks (WANs) that span the globe, like the internet

Thread to discuss computer networking. I thought we could use one because networking has an unusually long shelf life for IT skills, unlike programming and even linux to an extent, networking hasn't changed (at least very much) because its basically the physics of IT.

The Kremlin is persecuting even the pro-Kremlin Communist Party

The Communist Party, which has loyally supported the war in Ukraine, has become a target of the Kremlin.

In Russia, even supporting President Vladimir Putin's war policy is not necessarily enough as the security apparatus seeks to eradicate all opposition activity from the country.

This has been experienced firsthand by the Putin-loyal Communist Party, which has now found itself in the authorities' crosshairs, reports the Moscow Times.

The Communist Party is the second-largest party in Russia after Putin's United Russia, holding 57 seats in the 450-seat State Duma.
The party is part of the so-called systemic opposition that nominally opposes the regime but in practice supports Putin on all major issues.

In addition to the Communists, the systemic opposition is represented by the conservative and nationalistic Liberal Democratic Party (despite its name), the nominally social democratic A Just Russia party, and the self-proclaimed liberal New People party.

Before the war in Ukraine, the systemic opposition parties were allowed minor deviations from the official line, but nowadays they are expected to support Putin's line ever more unanimously.

"For those opposing the military actions, it may seem like there is no opposition at all, as all parties represented in parliament officially support the 'special military operation,'" summarized Stanislav Andreychuk of the Russian election monitoring organization Golos to the Moscow Times in April.

According to the Ukrainian human rights organization EHRG, the Communist Party has indeed supported Russia's war effort by, among other things, supplying weapons and ammunition to the front, supporting paramilitary groups, and spreading war propaganda.

But why is the Kremlin persecuting a party that so loyally follows Putin's line?

Parliamentary elections will be held in Russia in September, and as they approach, dozens of Communist Party members have been arrested. In the party's stronghold in the Altai region of Siberia, 11 party members have been arrested over the past three months. Among the arrested is Yuri Kropotin, deputy speaker of the regional parliament.

Gennady Zyuganov, who has led the party since the 1990s, has therefore expressed bewilderment over why communists are being persecuted.

According to a Russian election expert, the persecution of the pro-Kremlin opposition is linked to the upcoming elections. Even loyal support for Putin and the "special military operation" is not enough when the Kremlin fears that even the Kremlin-supporting opposition threatens the system.

"The Kremlin does not want the systemic opposition parties to become a focal point for protest votes," summarizes Ora John Reuter, a Russia expert at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

"[The Kremlin] is trying to suppress all forms of open opposition activity to make it harder for those opposing [the regime] to figure out who to give their protest votes to."

This is clearly visible in the Altai region, where United Russia has historically had great difficulty succeeding. In the 2021 regional elections, United Russia received "only" 33 percent of the vote, while the Communists took 31 percent.

The situation annoyed United Russia because the existence of even a nominal opposition in the regional parliament meant uncomfortable questions.

"I have been interrogated, threatened, and taken to court in the past. I thought those days were over, but now they are returning in an even more terrible form," Zyuganov laments.

Fortunately for Putin, many regional Communist Party deputies have ended up in court primarily on fraud charges. This has also been the case in many other regions.

Furthermore, it seems that nowadays Russians do not want to run as candidates in any kind of elections. The risk of getting into trouble is too high even as a United Russia candidate.

"All parties are having a hard time. When everyone sees this oppressive pressure, finding candidates and supporters is becoming increasingly difficult," an anonymous election expert points out.

FREE ERIK HOUDINI

COMRADES OF LEFTYPOL, ERIK HOUDINI NEEDS YOUR SOLIDARITY
Houdini has been arrested.
https://gofund.me/826555a5f

He is in deep Florida country. Anons in Florida, please do what you can for him. Those who can make online payments, please help him.

Pasting the message from his comrades:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
TL;DR Our friend Erik is in jail for allegedly trolling a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, and we’re putting together a bail fund for him. If we don't get him out in 10 days or locate a foster the local animal shelter may put down his dog.

—

Hey everyone. We do not come here lightly and it is with a heavy heart that we come to you and ask for monetary assistance. Not for ourselves but for a dear friend of ours who was arrested Tuesday February 24th 2026 by the police.

Sometime in November of 2025, not long after the Kirk assassination, our friend allegedly got into a conflict on Instagram with a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, when she visited their city. In this conflict he allegedly referenced Kirk's assassination and that was enough for her to take these as threats on her life and call the police on him and an investigation was conducted where they allegedly found evidence of plans to harass Bennet next time she visits their City.

He never threatened to hurt or kill her, but they live in one of the most conservative areas in the the country where stochastic terrorists like Bennet can get away with whatever and sic the police on political dissidents.

We spoke with the detective handling his case and he informed me that the state is only seeking probation for him, but as many of you know we live in a tiered justice system and the first hurdle in that justice system is bail bonds. Despite the state not seeing him as dangerous and not seeking to put him in prison or charge him with a felony they set his bail to $20K with his first court date being March 31st.

We will have to go the bail bondsman route which means we need $2k to pay the bail bondsman and get him out of jail. Or somehow raise the full $20k. Past this our friend will need assistance with court fees, lawyer fees, living and eating expenses, and more.

My friend Erik has been experiencing housing instability for over 8 months now living out of a motel in the area. He just landed a full time position 2 weeks ago and was finally going to see some stability in his life which makes the timing of all this incredibly tragic. The sooner we get him out of jail and back to his job the less disruptive this will be to his life.

His dog Jax was also taken to a local animal Shelter by the police and he has 10 days to claim him and if he does not claim Jax then Jax might be put down. Suffice to say he cannot claim Jax while in jail.

Please donate whatever you can time is of the essence here.

—

Please see an excerpt below of Erik's project Houdini Magazine, where you may famously know him from:

"HOUDINI magazine is the brainchild of Erik Houdini and a faceless army of working class—writers, artists, musicians, researchers, scientists, producers, first responders, film makers, journalists, clerks, taggers, goths, 'reformed' felons, juggalos, janitors, freaks, radicals, truckers, addicts, activists, schemers, plotters, connivers, psychonauts, conspirators, swashbucklers, dastardly dudes, femme fatales, them fatales— and whoever else decided that today was the day we start giving a shit about each other.

Well over half a million total visitors. The big dogs of the underground. HOUDINI exists to reclaim counterculture from the branded dead. Anti-corpo, broke as fuck, grindset bros who read Marx. Hustlers who respect their own, living theory without reading it, tired of being ground into soylent by the powers that be. Chaos magicians who dog-ear Kropotkin. Real, human, DIY, underground counterculture.

We believe a true counterculture, should it be forged, must be anti-capitalist. It must be anti-algorithmic. We must break through the prison walls of capital's psychic warfare on our souls and into a new era.

Remember: No doomers. Uplift. Struggle."

The Lesson of Muscovy

When it first emerged, Muscovy, more known today as Moscow, is hardly the world metropolis we know it is today. In fact, it was hardly a city, as much as it was a neighbourhood of mudhuts created as an outpost for the much wealthier slavic states of Rostov and Vladimir.

Everything changed when the Mongol Empire came. You see, the princes of Moscow responded to the invaders with a very unique ideology called pragmatism. Instead of raising noise about defying the Great Satan (of Mongol imperialism), or declaring a military Flood against the Tatar settler colonialism in Crimea, or even God forbid trying to forment some sort of Slavic Axis of Resistance against the invaders, Moscow took the opposite approach. They flattered the Tatars, they gave their daughters to the Mongol khans, and they even plundered other fellow Slavs on behalf of their Mongol overlords. What despicable comprador behaviour!

But see, this pragmatism not only spare them the destruction that was inflicted on rebellious slavic states like Tver (who suffer the fate of a violent regime change engineered by the Mongols), it also allowed them to grow rapidly; so rapid, in fact, that they eventually gained enough strength to topple the Tatar opressors.
That is the key, my friend. Pragmatism, knowing your limits, and long term view of things. Not ideologically charged rhetorics about defying imperialism, not waging suicidal wars simply because you have the moral high ground. Pragmatism is what will defeat imperialism.

Now, this is just a quirky historical post, and certainly has no bearing on the current geopolitical situation in the Middle East and Iran and Palestine specifically. Whatever lessons you want to infer from this post exist solely in your mind.

Why Burma may be the Centre of Global Fascism

I've noticed a lot of concerning patterns in regards to the direct parallels between the Fascist movements of Europe and that of Burma that are in conjunction with the Tatmadaw. The reason first and foremost being that of ideological similarity between the two movements, typically when you look at specifically European fascist they often center on race and a complete unassailable focus on the state sidelining things like religion, the true form of culture inherited from respective nation but it has never, and I mean never focused on religion.

This is until the rise of the 969 movement which although fully formed as a cultural and political movement in the 2010s[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/969_Movement]. With said movement going back to the main leader joining the 969 movement in 2001[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/969_Movement]. Their main emphasis and messaging being on the protection of Burmese/Buddhist culture and the majority race of Myanmar from Muslims. Which sounds scathingly similar to the messaging utilized by the European far-right as of current which is a complete branching out compared to older and less contemporary far-right European movements which often, as I've stated have a total or near focus on race.

The 969 movement also happens to utilize the same methods of transmission utilized by the European far-right, being through social media in the form of Facebook, symbolism through flags or esoteric symbols or dog whistles such as "969". But none of these tactics were seen in the 21st century European far-right until they were utilized by the Burmese far-right which shows greater support for the potentiality of collaboration or at least implicit admiration occuring from the European far-right towards the Burmese far-right as the 969 movement had been the ones who pioneered this much earlier. This is then also supported by how European far-right activity even in the 2010s were relatively limited with the only center of these exact methods/tactics being solely from Burma. These said propaganda tactics firstly started with the propagation of Wirathu's messaging the the 2000s form of propaganda in the form of CDs [https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/govt-admits-not-doing-anything-to-stop-sales-of-anti-muslim-propaganda.html].

Then in regards to the transmission of modern tactics this is firstly seen in the form of a direct webpage, the earliest archive being from 2013 [https://969movement.org/what-is-969-movement/]. But compared to other far-right European movements this wasn't just a webpage, it already due to past propagation of propaganda through CDs and the '969' dogwhistle has already helped the movement itself gain momentum. So when the ban of censorship was lifted in the 2010s, Wirathu used this to his advantage in the form of this site [https://969movement.org/what-is-969-movement/]. But on top of this already pre-built ideology which again has a central focus on religion also with the earliest archive also being from 2013 being a forum page [https://web.archive.org/web/20131030043058/https://969movement.org/forum/]. The forum itself contains direct categories like "General Dicussion", "Dhamma Talk" and most importantly "Organizing" which itself in the archive contains 2 posts by the admin one being "Open Positions" [https://web.archive.org/web/20131030044049/https://969movement.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6]. Which itself contains the positions of "Executive Director", "Chief Marketing Officer" and "IT Intern" but one constant remains between said positions, a requirement being that they all speak English which wouldn't have made sense unless they had direct intentions to export Buddhist Fascism across borders and eventually, globally. This was a position of media dominance never before seen for any far-right leader like Wirathu, none had an active website, an active means of coordination but most of all none of them were on the Times except of course, Wirathu. [https://www.thetimes.com/travel/destinations/asia-travel/sri-lanka/sri-lanka-bans-time-magazine-789qnnbkb85] It fact, there was so much fear at least by Sri Lankan governments that the Times magazine had the potentiality to incite radicalism and violence they'd banned it, but not the West, now a far-right leader's face was directly in front of and being viewed by the far-right of Europe.

Then finally from the 2010s to the 2020s they'd begin dissemnating more and more through the use of disinformation through Facebook. [https://www.irrawaddy.com/opinion/guest-column/burmese-neo-nazi-movement-rising-against-muslims.html] This is when their influence now combined with the website would begin permeating globally for everybody to see, thus allowing for the far-right in Europe to see a full display of tactics and coordination for the 21st century. And is now the exact same model used by the far-right in Europe and now across the globe.

And Burma has not only been co-opted for the simple means of efficiency but has possibly also been done so due to a singular alignment with Fascism's idea of a 'proletariat nation'. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6bWO3XxLfY&t=105s] In Fascist theory, proletariat nations are nations that have often been oppressed, much like how Myanmar has since the 1900s been fighting colonalism, Japanese fascism, sanctions but it has also does so whilst remaining completely and utterly Burmese. Of course, the formation of this ideology is in itself proof, somehow the poorest nation in ASEAN had the will and pride to articulate and coordinate to form an entirely new ideology that would now form a distinct branch of Fascism and of course in 2019 cause a genocide of the Rohingya population. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide] Predating this there were already Muslim shops being systematically discriminated against meaning this had been building up for about a decade now, much much earlier than the development of Fascist movements in Europe. Which completes the pictures as to why Burma would completely fit the imagination of the European far-right as unlike Japan who is although apart of the far-right movement in some capacity they are ultimately been corrupted by the West, India too. But Burma completely shatters the category in itself, not imitating European Fascism but completely asserting it's own vision. But of course like all Fascist ideologies it still has a collective myth, the most obvious being of the colonial Burmese empire, the Toungoo Empire. It arose from a small city state, a single city state dubbed "Taungoo" from about 1510-39 that seperated from Ava. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Ava] And in 1599 would grow to emcompass an entire sub-continent, systematically move entire populations, enslave them, force Theravada Buddhism, Burmese legislature and even go as far as threaten the Chinese. And of course in the 1800s during the Burmes-Anglo wars whilst entire subcontinents like India fell there weren't as many revolts. The Burmese persisted across 3 wars, across 60 years and even then 20 more years of guerilla warfare would persist. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Burmese_Wars] It even got to the point that Burma had to be give an entirely seperate constitution from British India's allowing for more greater local independence . [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_India_Act_1935#Government_of_Burma_Act_1935] And of course Burma was also the earliest of the colonies due to General Aung San's efforts to become a fully independent nation. A combination of all these fuel fascist and far-right imagination, even after an entire century the Burmese have persisted and it seems they're still going.

There was also this meeting that took place between Daw Aung San Su Kyi and Viktor Orban of Hungary where in 2019 met specifically to address Muslims[https://www.dw.com/en/opinion-in-cozying-up-to-orban-suu-kyi-falls-even-further-from-grace/a-49108276]. Coincidentally during a time when anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe was still relatively low due to the much lower population and no formal "movement" had occured unlike in the 2020s where there's already growing concerns of far-right radicalism. Simply put a noble laureate that was meant to championing Burmese democracy genuinely had no business ideologically aligning this similarly on such an issue which ends up supporting my point that Burma specifically may be playing a central role in influencing fascism in Europe and the greater far-right movement occuring in Europe as it'd simply make no sense for a policy this seperated from global discourse to have seemingly occured between Burma and Hungary of all countries. This had also happened during the year 2019 when the attacks on the local Rohingya weren't just coincidence or a singular event but now a consistently maintained state-backed policy by the NLD and Daw Aung San Su Kyi as a result. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide#2017%E2%80%93present:_Rohingya_genocide] This also highlights, directly the development of fascism to again be much earlier than that of European fascist movements which means the origins of Buddhist Fascism completely predates that of the European far-right's.

Juche Douche is a full on Maoist (anarchist) wrecker – AND he's openly antiwhite racist

I posted about this glowie Maoist poser before, but new dirt keeps showing and it's even worse than I thought. Juche Douche isn't just pushing decentralized Mao crap to derail real ML discussions he's also straight-up anti white and racist as hell.

Every time the convo turns to proletarian unity across nations, this dude slips into digs at "white settler" this or that hut hatred of white workers. I've seen him in threads dismissing class struggle in the imperial core as "white privilege nonsense" and praising Third Worldism while implying white people are inherently counter-revolutionary parasites. Classic Maoist racial essentialism dressed up as anti-imperialism.

He'll quote Mao on the peasantry and "permanent revolution" all day, but when someone brings up actual internationalism that includes white proletarians, he pivots to "decolonize your mind" rhetoric that's basically just anti-white chauvinism. Last in colonialism thread, he was dropping lines like "the white race's historical role is oppression benefits" straight-up race reductionism that splits the working class along racial lines. That's not Marxism or anything leftist just bourgeois identity politics with a red flag slapped on it. d don't get me started on his little red book fetish while he ignores Stalin's contributions and slanders the USSR revisionism as "social imperialism." He's trying to turn our spaces into a Third Worldist cult hellhole where white comrades are treated like second-class revolutionaries at best, infiltrators at worst. If that's not racist wrecking, what is? hes also a gang member that sold drugs to his own people apparently.. lumpenscum are very untrustworthy i dont suppose anyone with a drug charge can lead any type of movement. Let's bury this wrecker. 🛑 His hourglass only has so much sand in it anyway, someone like this has made enemies and the left does not need to protect him or share his story when shit hits the fan. not to mention he takes anti zionism so far it borders anti semite. you'd think some time in prison he'd smarten up and stfu but nope, same old bs.

What is the one good thing this orange cracker did

I'd say legalizing hemp and delta-8. The thing is, hemp plants absorb CO2 in the atmosphere and reduce global warming. You could put the seeds in an oil presser and make hempseed oil for use in biodiesel. Hemp diesel can be carbon neutral (meaning it releases no carbon into the atmosphere) or carbon negative (it removes carbon from the atmosphere; if this went viral, it could cause another ice age, causing animals (like cats) grow bigger, more wildlife, more freshwater (ice) and so on. The biggest cat on record was the North American Lion (extinct since the end of the Ice Age - they hunted bears and mammoths!).

>Judges have humiliated ministers by insisting Palestine Action should not be banned under anti-terrorism laws in a ruling that has left thousands of its alleged supporters in legal limbo

>The high court said on Friday the government’s proscription of the direct action group was “disproportionate and unlawful” and that most of their activities had not reached the level, scale and persistence to be defined as terrorism

Lessons from the war: Military analysis

What can we learn from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and this example of relatively modern warfare? Strategy, tactics, operations, geopolitical responses, information warfare, civilian pov and response. Anything related. Not the thread to talk about "who is in the right".

Oppose Hero Worship

Anyone who labels their ideology after a person (Marxism, Leninism, Trotskyism, Maoism, Titoism) can be immediately dismissed until they self crit and stop being an idolist simp.

Identifying with people or states over their ideas and actions creates a parasocial tendency to defend them uncritically, even when they fuck up, as all people and states inevitably do in a young movement struggling to walk in material reality. It's common to see excuses - "they tried their best, they were betrayed, they were attacked", rather than critical analysis that enables us to avoid those problems next time.

I've gotten ghosted by two employers before even reaching the phone interview stage. What the fuck even is the US job market at this point? Both were jobs I'm very well qualified for and don't even paying a living wage. Why the fuck would you reach out to me to schedule an interview and then never confirm a time? Are they fucking punishing us? Is this a humiliation ritual?
