THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM
This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), 🤔? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Balochistan, East Turkestan/Uyghuristan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, and many others as shown in the Map of all the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I posted. Obviously, this Global USSR will have a Socialist Mode of Production (Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) and Dictatorship of the Proletariat (One-Party Marxist-Leninist-Maoist State). This Centrally Planned Socialist Economy is characterized by State ownership of all companies, a State Planning Agency, the outlawing of Stock Exchanges, and a massive Social Safety Net consisting of Free Housing, Free Healthcare, Free Education, a Job Guarantee, and a Universal Basic Income, along with a long-term effort to Automate the entire Economy (hence the need for Universal Basic Income) on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
The first great Superstructural transformation brought by the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was the final destruction of that great “Opiate of the Masses” that had been used by all the ruling Classes of every previous Mode of Production to neuter the oppressed Classes, Religion. This was done by sending the International Red Guards to bulldoze/burn down all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas worldwide and arrest all Priests/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis and force them to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they were re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (This also happened to all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists as well), ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
Another key aspect of this Superstructural transformation was seen in the dramatic transformation of Urban planning that was carried out by the Global USSR. This process was made easier by the aftermath of World War III (especially the Nuclear Exchange) and the subsequent World Maoist PPW that left most cities as smoldering ruins and thus in desperate need of rebuilding. The new “People’s cities” were built to be as efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-density as possible, with the entire population living in high-density Concrete Commie Bloc Apartment buildings, and all Suburban McMansions/“Single-Family Homes” bull-dozed and left to be reclaimed by nature (most had already been destroyed anyway). At the center of every major city is a single massive Skyscraper that contains all the administrative agencies of the various SSRs/ASSRs, including the local CPSU headquarters. Additionally, these cities have been designed to be as walkable as possible (this, combined with the Worldwide ban of all GMOs, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Preservatives, excessive Sodium, and Trans Fats, ended the Global Obesity epidemic that was already reduced significantly by the decades of Conventional and Nuclear Warfare), with all Automobile ownership outlawed, and most transportation carried out by Mass Rail Transit (ie. Subways, Streetcars, Bullet trains, etc.) powered by Electricity from exclusively renewable sources (ie. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, Geothermal, etc.), thus ending Global Warming (The Global Nuclear War already helped this, by thinning the World population and reducing temperatures with the mild fallout). All Rural populations employed in agriculture live in Collective Farms until this sector can be completely Automated and they can be moved to the Cities, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
Finally, the Superstructural changes that resulted from the necessary Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution included dramatic changes in the nature of Sexuality, Gender Roles, and Personal Expression. In order to flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, all Women are forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses and Makeup were banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing were banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. Interestingly, their has been a noticeable decline in Transgenders in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes are still Free and Legal to anyone who wants one. The nature of Sexuality has changed dramatically with the elimination of the Reactionary emphasis on Reproduction, considering that that are now Artificial wombs, in order to finally free women from the oppressive nature of child birth. Homosexuality is obviously completely Legal and totally accepted, with the caveat that the institution of Marriage (both Homosexual and Heterosexual) has been completely phased out as a relic of Reactionary culture in favor of much looser sexual relationships among consenting adults. Finally, all Drugs have been legalized for recreational purposes, in order to simultaneously end the discriminatory and classist nature of the Global War on Drugs waged by the Old Reactionary Bourgeois order, and unleash the creativity of the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World as they travel on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

France imposes curfews in parts of Paris, other cities after weekend of riots
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/frances-macron-declines-interior-ministers-offer-resign-2026-10-19/
>French authorities set curfews in parts of several cities on Monday, including Paris, Lille and Nice, as they faced pressure over security failings after a weekend of riots and looting stemming from nationwide anti-government protests.
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu had ruled out a blanket curfew in Paris but not a state of emergency, and had said it was more appropriate for now to apply partial and localised curfews.
>"My determination to restore order is absolute," he told reporters.
Paris police said they had issued orders barring protests in certain areas of the French capital from 8 p.m. (1800 GMT) and had issued a curfew around the Place de la Republique and Les Halles from 11:00 p.m. Both would remain in effect until 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
>"A police deployment is in place to ensure strict compliance with these measures," the police said in a statement.
>A source in Lecornu's office said a curfew for minors had been set between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. for the next two days in Lille, Douai, Wattignies and Denain with the agreement of the local mayors.

Fuck intersectionality
I keep seeing "communists" talk in favour of intersectionality when it is just pure liberalism. Intersectionality is not compatible with Marxism, because for Marxists class is the primary contradiction (anti-imperialism is also class struggle). Radical feminism and queer liberation are both liberal rubbish as well (speaking as a trans woman). Proletarian feminism and the erosion of sex through socialist technology are the real ways to solve these problems, not bourgeois radicalism.

>Major General Boris Ratnikov, 62 years old. Worked in the UKGB [Upravlenie – Directorate] for Moscow and Moscow Oblast. From 1991 he was the first deputy chief of the Russian Federation Main Protection Directorate (GUO). From 1994 to 1997 he was the main consultant to the Russian Federation Presidential Security Service (SBP) and Advisor to the chief of the Federal Protection Service (FSO). Today he is Advisor to the Chairman of the Moscow Oblast Duma.
<RG: Boris Konstantinovich, why was your service enclosed in a shroud of secrecy?
>BR: Probably because we were engaged in matters directly tied to control of both societal consciousness and the consciousness of wholly real individuals. And also searched for possibilities of defending a person from an unsanctioned intrusion into his consciousness.
<RG: So the Chekists as well studied occultism here in Russia?
>BR: There’s nothing paradoxical that such a subject matter was within the security organs’ field of vision. From ancient times humanity has been interested in what the consciousness represents. The powerful of this world used various technologies for influencing the psyche.
>In the twentieth century, the magical practices of ancient shamans entered the scientific level of research, which immediately fell into the intelligence services’ field of vision. Special attention was devoted to this problem in Great Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union. In our country, for example, practically all the people who possessed supernatural capabilities were under the control of the KGB.
>You can’t even conceive what sort of war of minds was unfolding in this field in the first half of the twentieth century. I’d hardly be exaggerating if I say that sometimes real “astral” battles were waged. And all of this was classified and camouflaged, probably no less than the nuclear project
<RG: Publicly science has stigmatized such research as obscurantism, while secretly scientists were seriously studying it in special laboratories and closed institutes?
>BR: In the middle of the 1980’s, problems of creating psychogenerators and remotely acting on the human psyche were studied practically in all developed countries. Serious scientific experiments were conducted, and the circle of ones that succeeded in comparison with the beginning of the century expanded significantly.
>In the USSR, the importance of this problem was generally realized, as well as the danger concealed in the possibility of invading and manipulating another’s consciousness. Around 50 institutes in our country studied the possibilities of acting on the psyche remotely. Expenditures for these goals were counted in the hundreds of millions of rubles. And although the investments justified themselves, the results we got were not developed.
>After the collapse of the Soviet Union, all this work was shuttered, and specialists in the area of subtle psycho-physical fields were scattered throughout the country and engaged in other matters. By my data, purposeful research on these subjects isn’t being conducted in the country today.
<RG: After research was shut down, you ended up in the Federal Protection Service (FSO) for the first president of Russia. And what did you do there?
>BR: We understood perfectly well that the new state formation was undergoing the painful period of its establishment. And during disease, the state organism, just like the human body, is very vulnerable. We needed to shield our head of state from attempts to manipulate his consciousness. And there were not just a few such attempts. I’m confident we succeeded in that task.
<RG: And you yourselves didn’t try to manipulate President Yeltsin’s consciousness?
>BR: In no cases. The task of the structure that I headed within the FSO was to protect top figures from attempts at external influence on their consciousness. Putting my hand on my heart, I can say that we never manipulated Yeltsin’s consciousness, nor Kozyrev or Gaidar’s.
<RG: Then tell us, from what were you protecting Yeltsin and Russia?
>BR: Perhaps from war with China. We aborted Yeltsin’s first visit to Japan. It should have taken place in 1992. As it became known to us, the president was being strenuously “programmed” to hand over a number of the Kuril Islands to Japan. But that was only the first move in a multi-party game by forces laying claim to world hegemony.
>While after the transfer of the islands to Japan, China, which was also part of the program, should have begun to actively demand the return of disputed territories, of which there were enough at the time. The matter could’ve escalated to armed conflict. And immediately a wave of protest would be raised in the world against Chinese expansion. Russia, incited by the international community, could well have declared war on China. Today such a development of events is unlikely, inasmuch as all border disputes between China and Russia are regulated. But 14 years ago, armed conflict was wholly real.
>The FSO couldn’t guarantee the president’s security in Japan, and the Security Council recommended postponing the visit until a better time. Yeltsin was terribly indignant, but he was forced to subordinate himself to state rules.
<RG: And your fears weren’t exaggerated? How much could you believe your informants?
>BR: Heads of state in Western Europe and the United States were unwittingly our informants.
<RG: Are you joking?
>BR: In no way! I told you that the USSR rather successfully studied the development of technologies for entering into another person’s consciousness. And we made powerful advances.
>At the beginning of the 1990’s, I had a meeting with one particular CIA officer. We received him well, and as a result the American announced that nothing on our nuclear missile submarines was a secret for the US. As if their specially trained psychics were tracking each of our submarines, “observing” the actions of the crew and the condition of the strategic weaponry. Along with that he presented us evidence that, however paradoxical, indeed confirmed the rightness of his words.
>Then we told him that their “viewing” our nuclear submarines was impressive, but that we could, even better, calmly “take a stroll through the minds” of the American president and his inner circle. After which we gave him information that could only be known by a head of state. The CIA officer connected with his people, and then said, “Why should we hide anything from each other? We’re entering into an open society; let’s be friends and exchange information.” We agreed, but after that all contacts with US intelligence in the area of psychotronics ceased.
<RG: And can you provide examples of reading information from the subconscious of the US leadership?
>BR: I think that today we can do that. Back at the beginning of the 1990’s, we “worked” with Robert Strauss, the new US ambassador in Russia. Having read his thoughts, we came to the conclusion that within the embassy there was a device for psychotronic influence on Muscovites, but it was deactivated. We also received other information from his subconscious. A couple weeks before the start of the bombardment of Yugoslavia by American aviation, we held a seance to connect with the subconscious of Secretary of State Madeline Albright. I won’t begin to recount all her thoughts; I’ll note only the most characteristic moments that were confirmed already after the beginning of NATO’s aggression in Serbia.
>First of all, within Madame Albright’s thoughts we discovered a pathological hatred for Slavs. She was also incensed that Russia possessed the largest reserves of minerals in the world. In her opinion, in the future not just one country should dispose of Russian reserves, but all humanity under the supervision, of course, of the United States. And she saw the war in Kosovo only as the first step in establishing control over Russia.
>Second, it followed from Albright’s thoughts that the US Army would use a certain mix of chemical and biological weapons along with warheads containing radioactive elements.
>Later it was found out that the Americans used chemical compounds that would alter the structure of blood cells within minutes. People who were subjected to the effects of such weaponry completely lost their immunity for some amount of time and could die from any minor sickness.
>Then it also later became known that US aviation used shells with depleted uranium. Moreover, in the Tomahawks they used a radioactive iodine that would totally disintegrate in the course of a month, but which would wreak serious damage to people’s health and the environment within that time.
<RG: And you directly reported the information you removed from the minds of US leaders to Yeltsin?
>BR: Of course not. This information became a base for the continuing work of our analytical centers. When what came from SVR and GRU lines and diplomatic sources was applied to it, then a full picture emerged that would already form the basis of analytical reports to the country’s higher leadership.
<RG: You mentioned psychotronic weapons. Do they really exist?
>BR: At least they did exist. We had them, as did the US and other countries. It’s true, to use them is very dangerous. One can get the desired result, but along with that the weapon’s operator and even the man who orders its use can lose their health and even lives in a totally unpredictable way. The sphere of actively intruding into the human consciousness is nevertheless something beyond the outer limits, and psychotronics are not worth joking around with.
<RG: And what are your colleagues who worked on genuinely outer-limits subjects doing now?
>BR: Many are on their pensions. Some continue to research subtle physical fields, although there’s already no financial support from the state. Sometimes we render consultative services. Sometimes you start to look the people around you through a professional lens, and things become very interesting.
>Take, for example, the public’s favorite impersonator Maxim Galkin. This person possesses unique and quite interesting psychic abilities, about which, I’m sure, he doesn’t even suspect. In past years he would have immediately ended up on the radar of the special services, from whose proposal he could hardly refuse. But today he’s a completely free man and does the stage business he prefers.

Thought it would be cool to have a thread about the psychic warfare programs of the USSR and the USA specifically. Wanted to post this article which is one of the ones I found the most interesting but we can get into the US program later, it's cool to start with the atheistic, dialectical-materialist Soviet program first.https://espionagehistoryarchive.com/2016/01/09/the-kremlins-psychic-spies/

<RG: And what are your colleagues who worked on genuinely outer-limits subjects doing now?
>BR: Many are on their pensions. Some continue to research subtle physical fields, although there’s already no financial support from the state. Sometimes we render consultative services. Sometimes you start to look the people around you through a professional lens, and things become very interesting.
>Take, for example, the public’s favorite impersonator Maxim Galkin. This person possesses unique and quite interesting psychic abilities, about which, I’m sure, he doesn’t even suspect. In past years he would have immediately ended up on the radar of the special services, from whose proposal he could hardly refuse. But today he’s a completely free man and does the stage business he prefers.

The Ivanovo case follows reports of similar schemes in the Vologda and Sverdlovsk regions, where investigators say gangs forced men to sign military contracts and took payments intended for the recruits or their families. The exiled news outlet Vyorstka previously reported that at least six men had disappeared from villages in the Ivanovo region since fall 2024.

Tens of thousands march in latest Portugal housing protests
TENS of thousands of people marched through more than 30 cities and towns across Portugal on Saturday, in the largest protest yet against soaring housing costs. The housing crisis, which many say puts buying or renting a home beyond their reach, has fuelled weeks of demonstrations. Some activists have camped in central squares in Lisbon and Porto, the country’s two largest cities. Riot police with dogs have dispersed some protests, drawing accusations of heavy-handed tactics.

Ethiopia Blames Eritrea and Egypt for New Northern Offensive
Birhanu listed the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, the Amhara‑based Fano militia, the Oromo Liberation Front, Egypt and Sudan as parties in a purported alliance aimed at toppling Addis Ababa. He claimed the latest wave of assaults, which he described as the fourth round, was repelled by Ethiopian forces after troops stopped the attacks and forced the commanders involved to flee into Eritrea. The Ethiopian chief also said up to 800,000 young people have fled the Tigray region to avoid forced military mobilisation by Tigrayan authorities.

Rising living costs and heating crisis put Syrian households under pressure
Residents are calling for a review of economic and tax policies, tighter market oversight, better basic services and greater support for lower-income households. They also want clearer explanations of decisions affecting living costs and effective channels for submitting and following up on complaints. Nearly two years after the former regime fell, the complaints point to a continuing gap between household incomes and the cost of basic necessities, with the winter heating crisis adding to wider economic pressures.

Israel's data shows it allowed half of the promised aid trucks into Gaza
Data obtained by Haaretz newspaper showed a growing shortfall in food deliveries to Gaza, alongside severe shortages of medical supplies, tents and materials to repair damaged infrastructure. Torrential rains have flooded displacement camps, leaving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in increasingly dire conditions. Under the ceasefire deal, Israel pledged to allow 4,200 vehicles carrying humanitarian and commercial goods into Gaza each week, equivalent to roughly 18,200 a month.

South Korea’s president whips up anti-foreigner chauvinism
Many of the racist attacks in South Korea are directed at ethnic Chinese and Chinese Koreans, who account for approximately a third of immigrants in the country. Whipped up by the far right, these slanders are an element of Seoul’s preparations to join a US-led war against China. Lee was criticized both online and by worker groups. Initially, DP leaders defended the president’s remarks. Party spokesman Cho Gye-won stated that “nitpicking isolated phrases from President Lee’s social media posts to distort his true intentions have crossed the line.”

Farmers in India call for another national mobilization
Farmers unions in India, under the banner of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), have called for a nationwide mobilization to protest the attempt to open the country’s agricultural market for foreign competition without addressing the problems they’ve been facing for years. The protests will mark the sixth anniversary of the 2020-21 protests, in which thousands of farmers had camped on the borders of the capital, New Delhi, for months, forcing the government to withdraw farm laws and promise to address other agricultural issues.

Myanmar Junta Seeks Record Military Budget as Millions Struggle With Poverty
The proposed allocation would bring total defense spending to 10.53 trillion kyats (US$5.01 billion), combining the initial 2026-27 fiscal year estimate of 7.95 trillion kyats with a supplementary grant of 2.58 trillion kyats. Chit Swe, an Upper House lawmaker representing Ayeyarwady Region’s Constituency No. 11 and first deputy chair of the Joint Public Accounts Committee, urged parliament on November 5 to approve the regime’s proposed budgets, including the record-high military budget.

Coalition to move away from fossil fuels presses ahead without Colombia, its original champion
A statement from Ireland’s Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment confirmed Colombia’s withdrawal and said preparations were well advanced for a program of events in both countries next year. Neither the Environment Ministry nor the presidential office responded to questions about Colombia’s withdrawal or its plans to attend the next conference. “This process is bigger than any one country,” the department said, adding that further details would be announced at a formal handover during COP31.

In Ecuador, even the basics of life become a battle
Uncertainty has become embedded in the daily life of a country battered by violence, homicides, and extortion. Since Daniel Noboa took office in November 2023, Ecuador has lived under successive states of emergency and curfews, the president’s main strategy to fight organized crime. Added to the insecurity is an energy crisis. The government has ordered industries to be disconnected for up to three consecutive days a week to ration reservoir levels that feed hydroelectric plants, and blackouts have been recorded in different provinces without authorities explaining the causes. On top of all that, the system is failing its citizens.

Am I the only one worried that the right-wing is already taking advantage of the fact that the left has become a vacuum of intellect, and is now re-embracing intellectualism on its own terms?
I’ve seen multiple IG pages recently that talk about the literacy crisis in America; however, a good number of these pages/accounts are made by right-wingers/reactionaries. They use very blatant dogwhistles like “classical education”, “great books”, “virtue of the Ancients”, “glory of Western Civilization”, etc. etc. They talk about getting kids (read: they’re kids, the kids of right-wing elites) to study Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, etc., learn Latin and Ancient Greek at young ages, and pump their heads full of political philosophy. Yeah it’s indoctrination but still.
My assumption here is that the right-wing in America is trying to regroup and reorganize now that MAGA is clearly crashing and burning beyond repair. A lot of the rhetoric they use makes me think this stuff is coming from either the Heritage Foundation, Claremont Institute, or both.
But I think the deeper issue here is that the left has no way of effectively countering this, assuming this is true. Especially in the past five years or so the American left has almost entirely dismissed intellect and intellectualism in favour of appeals to emotion and petty in-fighting over covid masking, whose identity makes them the most marginalized, and whether or not going to the gym is “fascist”. Hell, someone just posted a screenshot from Reddit arguing that narcissists and psychopaths should be seen as “oppressed”. Why? What’s our antidote to the right when the right uses literacy and philosophy and such as a means of implementing fascism (or fascism-lite)? The American left seems to be taking the view that intellect is either 1. oppressive (because it inevitably creates a culture whereby smart people are upheld over stupid people) and/or 2. useless, because ethics are allegedly already embedded within human genetics and therefore all we need is intuition (Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid book is often invoked here). Why?
So what should we be doing in response?

Video games are the most efficient ways of delivering propaganda and you can tell just by how much controversy they generate and the youtube video essays rebuttals that come afterwards.
Only the west is taking advantage of this. Meanwhile China is trying to get on the west's good graces. Even Russia with its shitty philosophical Atomic Heart bullshit didn't cut it.
No. They must make Chinese COD where you do Black Ops shit like blow up Data Centers and Liberate an ICE facility, followed by a TNO The Fire Rises-style civil war missions. Trust me, American slop consumers would love that shit. I could write the campaign and in any decently run universe I would get an Oscar for it.
Anybody got any ideas how the anti-imperialist countries can make COD-like games?

I have yet to hear a good takedown of this guy. He always cites sources, he always gives the Bolsheviks a fair shake in his analysis, and he seems sincerely more interested in studying and learning from the mistakes of the early USSR than many self described communists, who, if they bother read sources at all, only uncritically read primary sources form that era if they are written from the perspective of the central committee, rather than rank and file party members, or "losers" who were later purged. The few times have seen his videos posted here before I have seen very short bitter responses: "Anticommunist propaganda" But I was never able to get those anons to actually clarify what they meant by that, and it seemed to me that they didn't actually have any specific critiques, like "he is wrong about A, B, and C, because reasons X, Y, and Z." It seemed more like a prejudiced and kneejerk reaction, of "just don't watch this." basically treating it the same as if it was some fascist dreck. So what's the deal? Can anyone take a real shot at this guy? And I don't mean personal attacks or simply discouraging people from watching it all. Or surface-level reactions to titles and thumbnails. I mean why are his sources wrong, why is he wrong, why are his conclusions wrong. Inb4

He always cites sources, he always gives the Bolsheviks a fair shake in his analysis, and he seems sincerely more interested in studying and learning from the mistakes of the early USSR than many self described communists, who, if they bother read sources at all, only uncritically read primary sources form that era if they are written from the perspective of the central committee, rather than rank and file party members, or "losers" who were later purged. The few times have seen his videos posted here before I have seen very short bitter responses: "Anticommunist propaganda" But I was never able to get those anons to actually clarify what they meant by that, and it seemed to me that they didn't actually have any specific critiques, like "he is wrong about A, B, and C, because reasons X, Y, and Z." It seemed more like a prejudiced and kneejerk reaction, of "just don't watch this." basically treating it the same as if it was some fascist dreck. So what's the deal? Can anyone take a real shot at this guy? And I don't mean personal attacks or simply discouraging people from watching it all. Or surface-level reactions to titles and thumbnails. I mean why are his sources wrong, why is he wrong, why are his conclusions wrong. Inb4

nah this guy flies to russia, reads primary sources in the archives, translates them into english, cross references and interprets, this is actually some of the most scholarly and respectful work I've ever seen on the early USSR.

The only non-European geographic region to develop a dominant feudalism was Japan. Here too a parcelization of sovereignty allowed for a growing of merchant communes, laying the groundwork for the flourishing of the capitalist mode of production later. Except in Japan, the eventual transition to capitalism resulted not from an endogenous development, but a forceful ending of its self-imposed policy of isolationism by imperialist powers from without. The crisis ensuing from this eventually led to an abolition from above during the Meiji restoration which could then exploit the feudal foundation for an immediate transition to capitalism. The reason given by Anderson for the differing outcomes of European and Japanese feudalism, is that the latter lacked an absolutist state and the specific "concatenation" of ancient slavery and feudalism that the former did enjoy. The absence of an absolutist state meant a lack of a uniform legal grid, national tax system or a centralized bureaucracy. In Europe the revival of Roman law, a legacy of the dominance of ancient slavery, codified private property and predictable contracts. Japan, where feudalism was preceded by a centralized, Sinified imperial system based on a state monopoly of land, lacked the opportunity to inherit a juridical tradition conducive to capitalism.
Another explanation for the development of capitalism in Europe and its eventual globe-spanning dominance is an essentially geographically determist one, focusing on the position of the continent and availability of domesticable plants and animals. I haven't read it, but I'm pretty sure Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond is an example of such an explanation.
I've also seen the idea that the constantly warring feudal states of Europe produced a particularly conducive environment for technological development, which is obviously an important prerequisite to a modern capitalism.
So why did we not see, say, Meso-American, Chinese, Arab or African capitalism? There were countless pre-capitalist complex societies to be found across the world, but only in Europe did we see an endogenous transition to the mode of production now dominating our world. Did Europe simply beat the rest of the world to it? Would other social formations have developed capitalism at all without European imperialism seeking new markets? Are any of the arguments above correct or is there another reason for the unique European feudal origins of capitalism?
And finally, is the premise of the question even correct to begin with? Did European capital perhaps simply dominate other already existing predominantly capitalist social formations?
Why was Europe the only region to develop an endogenous capitalism?
According to Perry Anderson, it was the parcelization of sovereignty under a dominant feudal mode of production, a rarity in the world according to him, that allowed for the development of independent mercantile towns where an embryonic capitalism could develop. The development of absolutism as a result of a crisis in the feudal mode of production and serfdom allowed for the unifying of national markets and the proliferation of Roman law under a single centralized state.The only non-European geographic region to develop a dominant feudalism was Japan.

The main slogans of the Comintern, (in sweden anyway) became "class against class" and "Soviet power". In this dire situation, the bourgeoisie resorted as a last resort in the crisis, either to relying on social democracy (the left wing of fascism) or outright fascism. The Comintern consequently saw fascism as a reaction of the bourgeoisie to the challenge of a revolutionary working class/workers' movement. The Social Democratic and the Fascist parties were identified as different wings (left and right respectively) of the reaction that had become the last refuge of the bourgeoisie.
In this definition there is an attempt, albeit an erroneous one, to determine the historical period in which fascism appeared. On the other hand, there is no attempt to specify the fascist movement and the state. During the period 1928-34, the Comintern refused to see any fundamental difference between bourgeois democracy and fascism. The result of this confusion of the character of the different parties and types of state led to fatal consequences for the working class and its political organizations.
It is reasonable to have concerns that communist organisations are now repeating this error. The main concern comes with the first steps of apartheid being taken in Denmark.

Are we repeating history or am I just a lib?
In essence, fascism was explained at the end of the 20th century in the following way: capitalism was considered to be in a historical epoch of decay and decline. From 1928, the temporary stabilization of capitalism was considered to have ended and the current period was defined as revolutionary, in the sense that the revolutionary seizure of power by the working class had once again been put on the agenda as the first item.The main slogans of the Comintern, (in sweden anyway) became "class against class" and "Soviet power".

my advice for queer people living at home with conservative parents and considering suicide: if you're going to kill yourself, don't just kill yourself. don't think that your suicide will teach your conservative parents a lesson, that the guilt will be a terrible punishment for them; it won't. they'll compartmentalize it and rationalize it and rewrite the entire story of your life to make themselves into the tragic victims and you a deranged confused self-destructive black sheep whom they tried their best to help and they just couldn't save and everyone around them will support them and go along with that narrative, they'll turn you into vapor, it will be like you never even existed.
so if you absolutely must kill yourself and you're totally deadset on it, then kill your conservative parents first. i don't care how you do it, what weapons you decide to use, how painful and gruesome you want it to be, just make them dead. then go on the run, steal your dad's guns and ammunition and supplies for the road, steal one of their cars and just drive, pick a direction and drive and see how far you can get, make the end of your life a fun crazy adventure, kill as many cops as you can before you are taken down and don't let them take you alive under any circumstances, give them no reprieve or satisfaction. if you're already going to throw your life away then don't be selfish about it and squander an opportunity to do something positive, something that inspires hope and brings a little ray of sunshine into a dark and weary world and doesn't allow your existence to simply be erased from history without so much as a trace.

Communization Theory vs Anarchist-Communism
So, I'm about halfway through The Eclipse and Re-emergence of the Communist Movement by Gilles Dauve, and I have a question. I understand the content of what's being said, the changes being proposed, the reasons why, etc. But, how is this any different from anarcho-communism? Both seek to abolish wage labour, the state, money, commodity production, and exchange value. Both, essentially, propose an immediate transition to communism. The only difference I can see is that Dauve proposes that communization will begin but not be completed for a generation or so, but the abolition of commodity production, money, and the state is the starting point for both. Also, the idea of communism as an existing movement in our current society that just sooner or later manages to fully "break through" was also more or less written about by Kropotkin in The Conquest of Bread. Is it really just a difference in word choice, or one being "marxist in nature?" The content of the actual revolution being proposed seems virtually identical to me.

Mao Zedong's "WHERE DO CORRECT IDEAS COME FROM?"
Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from the skies? No. Are they innate in the mind? No. They come from social practice, and from it alone; they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggle for production, the class struggle and scientific experiment. It is man’s social being that determines his thinking. Once the correct ideas characteristic of the advanced class are grasped by the masses, these ideas turn into a material force which changes society and changes the world. In their social practice, men engage in various kinds of struggle and gain rich experience, both from their successes and from their failures. Countless phenomena of the objective external world are reflected in a man’s brain through his five sense organs — the organs of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. At first, knowledge is perceptual. The leap to conceptual knowledge, i.e., to ideas, occurs when sufficient perceptual knowledge is accumulated. This is one process in cognition. It is the first stage in the whole process of cognition, the stage leading from objective matter to subjective consciousness from existence to ideas. Whether or not one’s consciousness or ideas (including theories, policies, plans or measures) do correctly reflect the laws of the objective external world is not yet proved at this stage, in which it is not yet possible to ascertain whether they are correct or not. Then comes the second stage in the process of cognition, the stage leading from consciousness back to matter, from ideas back to existence, in which the knowledge gained in the first stage is applied in social practice to ascertain whether the theories, policies, plans or measures meet with the anticipated success. Generally speaking, those that succeed are correct and those that fail are incorrect, and this is especially true of man’s struggle with nature. In social struggle, the forces representing the advanced class sometimes suffer defeat not because their ideas are incorrect, but because, in the balance of forces engaged in struggle, they are not as powerful for the time being as the forces of reaction; they are therefore temporarily defeated, but they are bound to triumph sooner or later. Man’s knowledge makes another leap through the test of practice. This leap is more important than the previous one. For it is this leap alone that can prove the correctness or incorrectness of the first leap in cognition, i.e., of the ideas, theories, policies, plans or measures formulated in the course of reflecting the objective external world. There is no other way of testing truth. Furthermore, the one and only purpose of the proletariat in knowing the world is to change it. Often, correct knowledge can be arrived at only after many repetitions of the process leading from matter to consciousness and then back to matter, that is, leading from practice to knowledge and then back to practice. Such is the Marxist theory of knowledge, the dialectical materialist theory of knowledge. Among our comrades there are many who do not yet understand this theory of knowledge. When asked the sources of their ideas, opinions, policies, methods, plans and conclusions, eloquent speeches and long articles they consider the questions strange and cannot answer it. Nor do they comprehend that matter, can be transformed into consciousness and consciousness into matter, although such leaps are phenomena of everyday life. It is therefore necessary to educate our comrades in the dialectical materialist theory of knowledge, so that they can orientate their thinking correctly, become good at investigation and study and at summing up experience, overcome difficulties, commit fewer mistakes, do their work better, and struggle hard so as to build China into a great and powerful socialist country and help the broad masses of the oppressed and exploited throughout the world in fulfillment of our great internationalist duty.

Nayib Bukele
Nayib Bukele has been the president of El Salvador since 2019, in 2020 he ordered soliders into the government's assembly and forced the government to approve the TCP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_Control_Plan), he also reduced the number of seats in the assembly by cutting the number of municipalities from the 262 to just 44. He also pressured the supreme court of El Salvador to remove term limits and add a extra year to each term, his twitter bio was also previously "world's coolest dictator"(https://thehill.com/policy/international/americas/573310-el-salvadors-president-labels-himself-worlds-coolest-dictator/), now its "Philosopher King" because hes LARPing as a philosopher now i guess.
The neo-colonial project
As of 2026 it has became increasingly obvious that the role that El Salvador plays inside of the Gang Supression Force is to take a stake inside of Haiti's government in exile, or at worst pursue a new government in the country modeled after El Salvador. Nayib has already stated that they want to export "his security model" for Haiti, and if you know even basic knowledge of Haitian history you would know it has had plenty of foregin-backed bourgesis presidential dictatorships that lead to it's current crisis.
So theres not a single lens that it can be looked at without seeing this is a neo-Colonial project, it's a foregin dictatorship attempting to defeat the lumpenproletariat who have gained dual power through the gang coaltion called Viv Ansanm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viv_Ansanm)
Neo-Colonialism in Haiti
Haiti is currently being colonized by El Salvador, with its bourgesis dicator Nayib Bukele leading the effort under the Gang Supression Forces. El Salvador has committed around 2,500 troops being the largest contributer of the Gang Supression Force by a long shot compared to the other countries.Nayib Bukele

Trans people need to mobilise around enabling healthcare (hormones and EVERY surgery, and also screenings to pick up trans people when they are like 10-12 to let them go through the right puberty). Having different identities and basing being trans around identities is whatever, I don't care about that, but the problem is that crowd don't have a solution to the real problems transexuals face, they just tell you to love yourself and don't actually have an answer to dysphoria. We need to organise around delivering specific medical solutions to make sure trans people can have their lives affected as little as possible, and so we can basically be cis. This is also the only way to really abolish gender and sex in the long term.

R: 101 / I: 9
Three years after October 7th this very difficult question needs to be asked:
Materially speaking, what can the American left — or any country’s left — do to actually “support” Palestine?
I’ve been an activist for Palestine solidarity since 2008. I’ve seen this movement change drastically during this time. Basically, 18 years ago you could support a two-state solution on the ‘67 border just fine without scrutiny. Now, post-Gaza genocide, you’re considered a “Zio” or “normalizer” if you support anything other than a full-blown Algeria scenario whereby every single Israeli Jew is deported or forced to flee. But let’s be honest: even if this is what we wanted, the American (or overall western) left has no ability to make this happen. It’s as stupid as claiming you’re a sellout unless you support a gigantic communist uprising happening tomorrow. Given that what we mentally support means nothing unless we can do material support, what’s the fucking point?
Oh but it’s a MORAL LITMUS TEST! — so fucking what? Even if we wanted to weed out the “immoral” people from our movement we still have no ability to carry out the results we want to see.
So where does that leave us? What should the left be doing for Palestine that it already hasn’t been doing for the past 20 years? We’ve done mass protests, boycotts, pressuring politicians, attempting to blockade weapons shipments, etc. Some people like Elias Rodriguez even used political violence. And guess what? Nothing happened in terms of the Palestinians winning. Israel’s reputation is in the shitter, but why hasn’t that translated into a Palestinian victory? How much longer do we have to wait for Israel to collapse, and if that happens on what basis would an “Algeria” scenario emerge?
Maybe I’m wrong but I really want to know what it actually means to “support Palestine” now.

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

The movement started as a protest against the proposed luxury tourism developments in Portonovo, Sazan Island, Zvërnec, and Baks-Rrjoll, it was supported by Jared Kushner (trump's son-in-law). The developments would've caused ecological damage to the coastal regions, and if you don't know Albania has a long history of its enviroment being destroyed.
The protest has expanded to include protests against western influnce and the social democrat NATO government in general, with several government buildings being burned down and even a storming of the parilament and a fire lit inside of it earlier this month.
The PKSH (Communist Party of Albania) has also voiced it's support of the protests and have seen a jump in membership from students during the crisis, the party has usually been filled with boomers and low electorial gains but its changing.

Why are rightoids so obsessed with muh objective morality?
It was a major talking point of the 2000s culture wars between the Religious Right vs. liberals, namely the belief that the right-wing upheld the notion that there is an objective truth and an objective morality that stems from it, while liberals (and genuine leftists for that matter) were portrayed as staunch believers in moral relativism which they acquired through "worshipping" science and history in lieu of religion.
So how does this belief in objective moral truth fit in with the greater right-wing agenda? How does the exploiter class benefit from proles believing in objective morality?

>Reformists/Democratic socialists become capitalists when they realize it’s politically in their interest for staying in power and getting re-elected, or they were always petite-capitalists and were placed in power by capitalists to create the illusion of opposition.
>Marxism-Leninist states reproduced many capitalist relations to maintain their party power instead of fighting for class struggle. All of them have been declining even as capitalism is in crisis, similar problems to the reformists but for different reasons.
>Trotskyists are overrated study/newspaper groups that just split over and over, constantly claiming to build dual power but never to actually fight for the revolution. Have gotten progressively worst overtime, going from successful albeit limited entryism to just commodity production of books, many of the parties are developing capitalist relations while claiming to oppose capitalism.
>Maoists have failed to achieve state power with the single exception of Nepal, with it ending its maoist government as of 2026 and only really existing to industrialize states to capitalism. Also created a bunch of cults that achieved nothing over then distorting Maoism into a personalist religion.
>Anarchists have failed to overthrow the state for a sustained effort of time Rojava only existed because ISIS collapsed not because it offered an alternative to the state apparatus and fell apart right as a real state killed it. Many anarchists claim to oppose the state yet support Ukraine in the imperialist conflict ongoing there, they also support many national liberation movements directly contradicting themselves, and also lack any theoretical work that can interpret the power through an objective material lens.
>Hoxhaists are underrated but still useless study groups to irrelevant boomer parties that are reactionary in many aspects. It is also inherently contradictory, while claiming to uphold class struggle it often is used for Albanian nationalist symbolism.
>bordigists will never organize, or do anything other then observe and wait for the “class party” that has never came and never will because you don’t organize a mass party by not organizing. Claims Stalin was a gravedigger of the revolution but instead of criticizing the specific organizational structure that created Stalinism they instead simplifying everything to capitalist relations and international isolation, without realizing organic centralism and the sectarianism would reproduce the same results.
It’s sad, and these are the only ones I have mentioned there’s like 80 other with the same problems. Nothing is true anymore nothing will happen it makes me sad that I will have to live in wage slavery forever. Somebody prove me wrong idk

I hate my landlord I really hate that guy, the fuck decided to walk into my room when I did go on vacation despite me telling him not to do that.
The peace of shit also admitted this to my face.
To give you any idea the retard did place a rat in my room and told me it is my fault and I need to pay up because
<Herp-derp rat
I told him this is not difficult to figure out since before I did go on vacation there was no rat I come back and there is a rat.
This is my life!
Either way the fagot placed cameras all over the house and I told him to take the one off that is next to my door because it literally flashes and blinds me with some 1 billion gigawat LED or some shit.
He refuses. There are cameras all over the house. I truly despise the fagot
So I decided to place a camera to see if the fuck walks into my room or what he is doing there
My idea is to take some dummy thing maybe a Halloween pumpkin and place the camera inside of it (replace one eye with a camera?) or inside the PC.
I want also to listen what the fuck is doing and talking about when I am not at home. I suspect he was thrown out of work and this can have consequences for my living situation.
I suspect there are conversations with his wife when I am not at home. And I do not want him to fuck me over. I was also thinking about hiding a mini microphone in the living room so I have full coverage
This is spy VS spy levels of fuckery at this point. I suspect he did hide a camera in the new light bulb that is in my room. I did hear him drill in the other room I am checking if he did not drill over a camera to my room.
So I have this idea to use legos in my projects.
For example I have some ideas for a raspberry pi zero that involve a microphone or camera.
I looked how much I will need to pay for them on https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=2x4
And it is very cheep(I suppose there is a minimum order or a shipping fee this is not a problem). I want to order them because I am not going to look at rainbow vomit all the time if I go and get them from good will (I buy black only).
So I want to make a raspberry pi based microphone to listen to people or a camera to listen and watch.
My main problem was that if I want to place this in some enclosure I will need to spend $$$$ to keep them in place and after it is finished there is no way to change things inside and I need to spend more money.
So why not use legos?
I am not a lego fagot so I have no taboo about using knives and glue on legos.
The basic idea is this. Lets say I want to hide a microphone inside my PC. I did think to use one of the old HDD enclosures I have however getting the microphone and PI in place can be a pain, And most methods result in it either moving around(very bad) or expensive bolted forever in place.
So here is the idea buy some lego plates
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&selectedElement=303326
and use some plastic to plastic or plastic to metal(more on this later) glue to glue this in place forever.
This is the base that should stick in place forever in the dummy HDD enclosure or whatever.
On top of this I can use normal legos to build whatever structure I want. for example I can use my PC microphone and cut away the useless parts and then glue this to a small lego to be able to place it in different places. The PI goes into its plastic enclosure however I perma glue a lego plat to that plastic. This way I can swap or change it whenever I need or replace it with a different PI in the future etc.
Same for the microphone I can try different arrangements or parts. lego fagots will lose their mind that I am permanently damaging legos however 1 base plat and 1 lego to make whatever plastic I like mountable is literally nothing for my wallet.
I did see that lego also sells these plates that do a 90 turn
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&page=5&selectedElement=6491823
and this can be interesting to get the camera in the right position I can simply build a lego tower to the right position and them install this plate to attach the camera (who already has a lego perm glued to it so it an be mounted) What I need is for this thing to be stable and not to collapse or start making noises. I am not going for special snowflake legos I use generic 4 types so I can assemble and disassemble and try different configurations.
I was wondering if Technic peaces are any good? Is there anything good for using them and these lego cylinders to mount a camera to a lego wall? Or is that a bad idea?
I was thinking I go
Normal 1x4 (or whatever) for walls
Normal 2x4 for building upwards towers. I did hear they are the most structurally sound.
Plate 1x2
Plate 1x6
Plate 2x4
Plate 2x6
I was thinking to glue to the electronics either a normal 2x2 or a 1x2 plate What is better?
And these 90 turn plates maybe a 1x2?
Also what is better idea to buy a fully made big plate

Or to make it myself for the base by using overlapping layers or 2x6 plates or something?
I do not want the base plate to rip from the base of the enclosure when I try to remove a lego tower and force me to glue that in once more.
Is a zig-zag of plates glued together a better option OR do I only glue 1 layer to the bottom and the zig-zag layer is a sacrificial layer since if it detaches itself it is not that bad as the connection to the bottom being destroyed?
Any suggestions?
I was thinking about using lego attachments on the metal of the PC case.
Should I glue plates or normal ones for the electronics? What is better for stability?
Also do they sell dummy PCIe cards? I can use that to build on top of it(it getting hot can be a problem) Worse case scenario I get these old TV signal to PCI cards and build on top of that.
Anyone has any experience with this?
LEGO for Raspberry Pi
The backstory.I hate my landlord I really hate that guy, the fuck decided to walk into my room when I did go on vacation despite me telling him not to do that.
The peace of shit also admitted this to my face.
To give you any idea the retard did place a rat in my room and told me it is my fault and I need to pay up because
<Herp-derp rat
I told him this is not difficult to figure out since before I did go on vacation there was no rat I come back and there is a rat.
This is my life!
Either way the fagot placed cameras all over the house and I told him to take the one off that is next to my door because it literally flashes and blinds me with some 1 billion gigawat LED or some shit.
He refuses. There are cameras all over the house. I truly despise the fagot
So I decided to place a camera to see if the fuck walks into my room or what he is doing there
My idea is to take some dummy thing maybe a Halloween pumpkin and place the camera inside of it (replace one eye with a camera?) or inside the PC.
I want also to listen what the fuck is doing and talking about when I am not at home. I suspect he was thrown out of work and this can have consequences for my living situation.
I suspect there are conversations with his wife when I am not at home. And I do not want him to fuck me over. I was also thinking about hiding a mini microphone in the living room so I have full coverage
This is spy VS spy levels of fuckery at this point. I suspect he did hide a camera in the new light bulb that is in my room. I did hear him drill in the other room I am checking if he did not drill over a camera to my room.
So I have this idea to use legos in my projects.
For example I have some ideas for a raspberry pi zero that involve a microphone or camera.
I looked how much I will need to pay for them on https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=2x4
And it is very cheep(I suppose there is a minimum order or a shipping fee this is not a problem). I want to order them because I am not going to look at rainbow vomit all the time if I go and get them from good will (I buy black only).
So I want to make a raspberry pi based microphone to listen to people or a camera to listen and watch.
My main problem was that if I want to place this in some enclosure I will need to spend $$$$ to keep them in place and after it is finished there is no way to change things inside and I need to spend more money.
So why not use legos?
I am not a lego fagot so I have no taboo about using knives and glue on legos.
The basic idea is this. Lets say I want to hide a microphone inside my PC. I did think to use one of the old HDD enclosures I have however getting the microphone and PI in place can be a pain, And most methods result in it either moving around(very bad) or expensive bolted forever in place.
So here is the idea buy some lego plates
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&selectedElement=303326
and use some plastic to plastic or plastic to metal(more on this later) glue to glue this in place forever.
This is the base that should stick in place forever in the dummy HDD enclosure or whatever.
On top of this I can use normal legos to build whatever structure I want. for example I can use my PC microphone and cut away the useless parts and then glue this to a small lego to be able to place it in different places. The PI goes into its plastic enclosure however I perma glue a lego plat to that plastic. This way I can swap or change it whenever I need or replace it with a different PI in the future etc.
Same for the microphone I can try different arrangements or parts. lego fagots will lose their mind that I am permanently damaging legos however 1 base plat and 1 lego to make whatever plastic I like mountable is literally nothing for my wallet.
I did see that lego also sells these plates that do a 90 turn
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&page=5&selectedElement=6491823
and this can be interesting to get the camera in the right position I can simply build a lego tower to the right position and them install this plate to attach the camera (who already has a lego perm glued to it so it an be mounted) What I need is for this thing to be stable and not to collapse or start making noises. I am not going for special snowflake legos I use generic 4 types so I can assemble and disassemble and try different configurations.
I was wondering if Technic peaces are any good? Is there anything good for using them and these lego cylinders to mount a camera to a lego wall? Or is that a bad idea?
I was thinking I go
Normal 1x4 (or whatever) for walls
Normal 2x4 for building upwards towers. I did hear they are the most structurally sound.
Plate 1x2
Plate 1x6
Plate 2x4
Plate 2x6
I was thinking to glue to the electronics either a normal 2x2 or a 1x2 plate What is better?
And these 90 turn plates maybe a 1x2?
Also what is better idea to buy a fully made big plate
https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=plate&selectedElement=303326
Or to make it myself for the base by using overlapping layers or 2x6 plates or something?
I do not want the base plate to rip from the base of the enclosure when I try to remove a lego tower and force me to glue that in once more.
Is a zig-zag of plates glued together a better option OR do I only glue 1 layer to the bottom and the zig-zag layer is a sacrificial layer since if it detaches itself it is not that bad as the connection to the bottom being destroyed?

US releases report on $12bn from Venezuelan oil, mineral resources
The US took in more than $12.26bn from “verified and approved entities engaging in authorized activities” in Venezuela during that time, according to the report. Most of that flow came from crude oil and petroleum-based revenue, but it also included deposits stemming from transactions involving gold, minerals, and fertilisers. More than $12bn of that revenue has been disbursed as of September 30, with some $169m remaining in the account, according to the report.

Rail and airline bosses demand Carney government arrogate power to pre-emptively ban strikes under its Bill C-39
Canada’s railway and airline bosses are demanding that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government arrogate the power to outlaw strikes before they even begin. Big business is pushing for even tighter restrictions on the legal right to strike as Parliament examines the pro-corporate, anti-worker “Building Canada Strong Act” (Bill C-39), which in its current form would codify government powers to end legal strikes and impose binding arbitration without even the fig-leaf of parliamentary consent.

One of the first major confrontations took place near Kacham, close to the Mali border, in early September. ISSP claimed to have killed more than 200 JNIM fighters, captured more than 30 others and seized weapons and motorcycles. The claim has not been independently verified. Heni Nsaibia, of the monitoring group Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED), said that, if confirmed, the reported death toll would make it the deadliest battle recorded between the two groups.

I enjoyed reading Mein Kampf to laugh at Hitler's chuddery:
>My knowledge of the trade-union organization at that time was zero. I could have proved neither its usefulness nor its uselessness. As I was told I must join, I refused. I gave as my grounds that I did not understand the situation, but would not be forced to do anything whatever. Perhaps the former was the reason why they did not throw me out at once. They may have hoped they could convert me or wear me down within a few days. In any case they were deeply mistaken. But within a fortnight I had reached the end of my ability, even if I had wanted to go on. In that fortnight I came to know my surroundings better, so that no power in the world could have forced me to join an organization whose members I had seen in such an unfavorable light. The first few days I was annoyed. At noon some of the men went to near-by public-houses, while others stayed on the lot, and there consumed a (usually quite pitiful) lunch. These were the married men, whose wives brought them their midday soup in miserable dishes. Toward the end of the week their number kept growing; why, I understood later. Then they would talk politics. I would drink my bottle of milk and eat my piece of bread somewhere aside, and would cautiously study my new surroundings or ponder my wretched lot. But still I heard more than enough; and it often seemed to me that people sidled up to me deliberately, perhaps with the intention of forcing me to make my attitude clear. In any case, what I heard in this fashion was calculated to irritate me to the extreme. They were against everything: the nation, as an invention of the “capitalistic” (how often had I to hear that word!) classes; the Fatherland, as a tool of the bourgeoisie to exploit the workers; the authority of law, as a means to oppress the proletariat; the schools, as an institution to (rain up a body of slaves, and of slave-owners as well; religion, as a means of stupefying the people marked for exploitation; morals, as a symbol of stupid, sheep-like patience; and so on. There was simply nothing which they did not drag in the muck of a fearful baseness. At first I tried to maintain silence. But finally I could do so no longer. I began to express my attitude, and began to contradict. Then I realized that this was quite useless until I knew something definite about the points under dispute, so I began to go to the sources from which they drew their supposed wisdom. Book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet had its turn. On the building lot there were now often heated arguments. I went on struggling, growing day by day better informed than my adversaries were, until one day the means was used which most easily vanquishes reason: terrorism, violence. Some of the spokesmen of the opposition forced me either to leave the job at once or to fly off the scaffolding on my head. As I was alone, and resistance seemed hopeless, I preferred to follow the former advice, richer by one experience. I left, filled with disgust, but at the same time so agitated that it would have been quite impossible for me to turn my back on the whole affair. No; after the flaming up of the first indignation, my stiff neck once more got the upper hand. I was absolutely determined to find another construction job just the same. My decision was strengthened by the privation which closed me in its heartless embrace a few weeks later, after I had eaten up what little wages I had saved. Now I had to, whether or no. And the game began all over again, only to end as it had before. I struggled with myself: were these human beings, worthy of belonging to a great people ? It was a painful question. If the answer were yes, the struggle for a national body was really not worth the effort and sacrifice which the best individuals must make; but if the answer were no, our people was poor indeed in human beings.
TL;DR Hitler is impoverished in Vienna, gets a job, refuses to join the union because "i don't know nuffin bout dat shit and u cant make me do nuffin", workers try to educate him, he gets annoyed with them for not being nationalist enough and being anti capitalist, starts to debatebro ben shapiro style, they threaten to beat his nerd ass, he leaves pissed off and decides they're all subhumans. This is hilarious to me because all the neo nazi revisionists try to make hitler out to be more anti capitalist than the "judeobolshevik" marxists.

it's clearly the consumer that's the problem. The management are aghast at how the public treats their workers. How could you expect somebody to work for free? Servers need tips to survive, not tipping them at least 100% is the financial equivalent of murder.

Do some of you still find the concept of the Old Left, particularly those who hold socially conservative views while maintaining economically left-wing or anti-capitalist positions, politically foreign or difficult to reconcile with contemporary left-wing politics in America?
I'm asking this because a little while ago, a person sent me a message saying that the concept of socially conservative leftists was somewhat foreign to them, as the variation of leftism that most people here are exposed to tends to incorporate both economically left-wing and socially progressive values. Initially, they assumed an inherent contradiction between being socially conservative and economically left-wing, since the two are often treated as politically incompatible in contemporary American politics.
However, historically, that hasn't always been the case, especially when you look at older generations of leftists, traditional labor movements, and socialist movements outside the Western world(e.g., Christians for National Liberation (CNL) in the Philippines, Nyerere's Ujamaa in Tanzania, Nasserism in Egypt, and Ba'athist Arab socialism in Iraq, etc.), where anti-capitalist economic positions have often coexisted with socially conservative attitudes toward religion, family structures, gender roles, etc.
I grew up in this tradition, as did my father and his father before him (none of whom were particularly religious, btw). The men in my life believed that a post-capitalist society would still need socially conservative values in order to promote a functional collective because, say, for example, if you're trying to build a society around collective ownership and mutual responsibility, how exactly would that society function if everyone prioritized their individual desires over their obligations to their families and communities?
From their perspective, simply abolishing capitalism wouldn't mitigate selfishness or the tendency to prioritize personal interests over the collective good. They believed that traditional family structures, intergenerational obligations, and certain cultural expectations helped cultivate the sense of responsibility necessary for a socialist society to function. In other words, economic collectivism needed to be accompanied by a social and cultural framework that encouraged people to place the well-being of their communities above their individual interests. My father isn't a campist either, and he doesn't believe leftists should automatically defend authoritarian governments because they oppose Western imperialism; his social conservatism is rooted more in his connection to our culture and his desire to preserve cultural continuity and collective responsibility across the generations.
Since migrating here in my youth, I've obviously adopted many socially progressive values that differ from those of my father, grandfather, and my entire hometown. However, my support for these values largely comes from my belief that people shouldn't be forced to adhere to traditional cultural expectations simply because they're considered essential to maintaining social cohesion or preserving cultural identity. I tend to view it through an analogy where a particular therapeutic modality might be appropriate for one person but not necessarily for another. Just because someone finds a culturally conservative life meaningful or fulfilling doesn't mean we should assume that everyone else would benefit from following that same path.
But I digress. Do some of you still find socially conservative leftists hard to wrap your head around, or is this something you're already familiar with

From my understanding of Marxism, communism should be the natural consequence of the inherent contradictions of capitalism in the context of an industrial society, which is a necessary condition.
While it made sense in the wake of the russian and chinese civil wars for a mixed system led by a revolutionary elite since both countries had just exited the feudal stage, why couldn't those countries reach communism as Marx envisioned once they had reached a high degree of industrialization?

I think the late 2010s and early COVID era were genuinely some of the worst periods for Sinophobia, barring the Chinese Exclusion Act. There was this almost spiritual, rabid hatred that existed even before COVID hit, and it came from both the right and the left. I remember when I still used Reddit, there was some dumb South Park episode involving China (maybe something about China owning a stake in some company), where main characters basically told China to fuck off. Reddit's reaction was essentially, "South Park just told China to fuck off. So brave and badass! Bet the ChiComs are so pissed." That was pretty much the general atmosphere.

Tourist racism hits Mexicans at home: ‘We’re in Polanco — speak English’
The arrogant behavior of the “ladies” or “lords” — as those who commit these acts of discrimination and violence are called — exposes the tension between locals and foreigners who want to impose their way of life on the country. A significant number of these incidents involving foreigners have occurred in the neighborhoods hardest hit by gentrification, the effects of which are increasingly angering locals.

They appear to be part of a growing new tactic used by hostile states in which “proxies” are hired to work for foreign security forces, with often little idea who they are targeting or why. Last month the Norwegian teenager Johannes Natland, 19, was jailed for life after he agreed to carry out a hit in Huddersfield for the Foxtrot Network, a Swedish organised crime group backed by the Iranian regime.

But MPs rejected the automatic renewal of tenant contracts, a key demand of housing activists. The right-wing opposition, which leads most polls before the November 29 vote, has vowed to repeal the measures.

Its early momentum was lost when Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of the Labour Party, having negligible impact thereafter. The decision to affiliate to Your Party is the first good news the latter has had for some time, having been embroiled in factional divisions from the outset.

Founded by film director Ken Loach and others, Left Unity had more than 2,000 members at its launch in 2013 and is the British affiliate of the European Left Party. Its early momentum was lost when Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of the Labour Party, having negligible impact thereafter. The decision to affiliate to Your Party is the first good news the latter has had for some time, having been embroiled in factional divisions from the outset.
