Can this even be denied? How often were the CIA the Man Behind the Man during the Cold War? What’s that, a fascistic military dictator, insane death squad paramilitary, or terrorist organization during the Cold War, organizing tortures, murders, and outright massacres? Who could be behind them? Why, the CIA! Of course! Coordinating in the Arts to seed domestic hostility towards the Soviets? Yup, CIA. Having contacts with imperialist corporations to intervene in domestic labor struggles utilizing the aforementioned noble puppet auxiliaries? Yup, CIA. Literally saving former Nazi scientists to help organize their global war against freedom? Haha, who else. These mfers were feared and distrusted even by the evil ass US military, conspired without the knowledge of American imperial presidents, and likely assisted the assassination of even domestic figures, and definitely helped take down revolutionaries like Che; are these uyghas basically the real life legion of villains? Real life Specter?

What if the guys on the left won?

R: 100 / I: 8
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.

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.

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
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)

ALBANIA

It is plainly shocking that the ongoing protest movement in Albania (dubbed the Flamingo Revolution) is barely being mentioned here!

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.

https://pagesix.com/2026/11/07/celebrity-news/russell-brand-cowering-in-fear-in-cell-as-shout-abusive-chant-at-him-report/

>By Saturday, November 7, inmates at HMP Wandsworth were reportedly making the comedian the target of a repeated football-style chant.
>"There's a Brand new n*e on the wing! A Brand new n*e," prisoners allegedly sang.
>"Brand, you c*, you ain't so f*ing lairy now."
>Hundreds of inmates joined in the taunting as word of his arrival spread through the prison.
>One source described Brand as increasingly frightened and withdrawn.
>"Brand only leaves his cell to collect his food at mealtimes before returning. He is going around like a shadow," the insider said.
>The same source explained that weekends at Wandsworth offered prisoners little opportunity to leave their cells, particularly because of ongoing staff shortages.
>Dinner was reportedly served at approximately 4:30 pm, with inmates then locked inside until 8 a.m. the following morning.
>"There is no outside exercise in the yard," the source claimed.
>"They have to get their amusement somewhere, so they've made Brand the object, with hundreds of prisoners shouting the chant."

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?

the ideologies that are the most objectively correct and have a solid foundation of theory are the less actionable armchair ideologies that never get anything done (leftcoms, anarchists)

the ideologies that are more retarded, emotional, biased and ignorant, the ideologies filled with magical thinking and moralism, those are the ideologies that actually drive history foward (maoism, third worldism)

NojRants

>NojRants
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

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?

Vários de seus apartamentos serviram de moradia para militantes de esquerda e o lugar foi palco de diversas reuniões clandestinas do Partido Comunista. Por ali passaram Luiz Carlos Prestes, Gregório Bezerra, João Lopes, Thiago de Melo e outros personagens que fizeram história. Tudo isso a cerca de 200m dos quartéis de uma vila militar."

What’s the point?
>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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

/PsyWar/ Cold War Edition

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/

>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.

Comrade Gaston

I've seen this pop up on /co/ few times and I honestly think it has a lot of potential to red pill normies.
Gaston is a popular, masculine man of the people. He's portrayed as a charismatic leader who organizes the effort to kill the Beast, who is depicted as a cruel noble elite. The fact that Gaston is French, that red is strongly associated with his character and the recent Disney prequel project about him would great potential.

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.

/MENA/#2

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

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

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

Voting

There are large protests in my country surrounding the affordability of housing, elections draw near and this got me thinking on who should I vote.

>PSOE: center-left dinousaurs, their attitude towards any problem is to hide and pretend it doesn't exist, that is both their biggest strength and weakness.

>Sumar: lib leftists, not radical by any means but they're more of the "go fast and break stuff type", on one hand they defend things that benefit me such as welfare programs for the disabled (which I am considered part of), on the other hand they defend social causes that go against my interests, such as euthanasia.

I'm using what shrinks call "profit-and-loss thinking" (because shrinks love to patholigise everything). I do not care about any progressive causes, or causes of any kind, I perceive anything that is not my material self-interest to be a "spook" as you like to say, I have been greatly abused by "oppresed" individuals and left-wing ideologues for me to give a shit about either, the opposite of love is indifference (not hatred) and the best revenge is to live well.

I'm in the following situation:
>minimum wage
>cisgender male
>disabled (sperg)
>assets in the 10000s of euros.

Discussion thread

Why wasn't communism achieved following the mass industrialization of the Soviet Union and China?
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.

Two men found guilty of helping Iran try to ‘eliminate’ UK-based journalists
The defendants visited addresses linked to their targets, took photos and videos and used platforms such as ChatGPT to research them online. 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.

The DPC has still not given a definitive response to the rights groups over the status of the complaint.

Spain passes housing reforms after protests, strike
The Spanish parliament on Thursday passed measures restricting evictions and aiming to make housing more affordable, after a general strike and weeks of protests over the issue which catalysed a snap election. 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.

Left Unity joins Your Party as affiliate
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.

Being a welfare recipient NEET in a colonial country is a revolutionary act because you are contributing negatively to the whole colonial enterprise. The money that would go to displacing natives goes to you for sitting on your ass all day and doing nothing for the settler colony.

Finally, some good fucking food (maybe)

Recently, fantasy media has been doing diversity in the absolute dumbest and laziest way possible, which is to continue to do European-based medieval fantasy and just make all the characters (including the magical creatures) a completely random smattering of all ethnic appearances and calling it a day. No explanation for why a backwoods medieval farming village appears so cosmopolitan it makes New York City look like an ethnostate. And no recognition of non-European cultures either, it's just straight European fantasy and all cultures and people are treated as European with their appearance being purest tokenism.

But with the Elder Scrolls deciding to put the next game in Hammerfell, land of the Redguards, we have an opportunity to have a fantasy world based on non-European cultures with a largely black and brown native population since the Redguards are based on North African peoples. Its an opportunity to show that you can have a successful fantasy world based on non-European cultures with a mostly non-white population, and the right will no longer have the justified complaint that its shitty worldbuilding (and, despite culture war contrarianism, I think everyone knows that the aforementioned trend IS shitty worldbuilding) and they will be forced to fall back on naked racism, which will cause them recede back into their corners of society.

But all that depends on the game itself actually being good and with modern Bethesda that is a big question.

October revolution.

What exactly was the point of the October revolution? Socialist/communist parties had the overwhelming majority in the provisional legislature after the February revolution. And It lead to years long civil war.

Questions concerning marxist philosophy

Before you call me a pseud for not knowing this, I'm a marxist primarily because I saw communism as the extension of Rousseau's social-contract and more broadly as an extension of republicanism unto the economic sphere when I started getting interested in political philosophy. I decided to read the Capital and agreed with Marx on his critique.
That said, I don't really see how Marx is a philosopher in any meaningful way. I've read some marxist "philosophers" and Hegel and I don't understand shit. Hence, my questions are essentially :

>wtf does Marx mean by "dialectic" and how is it a method you can analyze things by ?
I've read an intro to Hegel book and it presented the dialectic as Humanity's self-consciousness (Spirit) development towards its collective self-recognition in a rational order, not something you could abstract and apply to any object (unlike the syllogism for instance).

>as an extension of the prior question, what is dialectical materialism ?

>how does Marx's concept of alienation makes sense with the Capital economic analysis

>How is the frankfurt school marxist ?

Why are right-wingers so inhumane?

The average right-wing post mocks the deaths of innocent people. Not only do they mock, but they also try to justify it by digging into the victim's past or attempting to blame them for their own death.
Leftists have a problem with MLoids, but among rightards, there's literally no empathy.

Ex-member of radical Marxist group scales balcony, escapes house arrest in Argentina
A 74-year-old former member of Italy’s radical Marxist group the Red Brigades has escaped from house arrest in Argentina, the country’s security ministry confirmed on Wednesday, after he reportedly hid his ankle monitor inside a tube of pork and lowered himself from a fifth-floor balcony. Authorities placed Leonardo Bertulazzi under house arrest in Buenos Aires in 2024, prior to his extradition to Italy to serve a 27-year prison sentence. He had received the sentence in 1987 for joining a subversive association and belonging to an armed group.

Venezuelan Parliament Approves Law to Open Electricity Sector to Partial Privatization
The new legislation stipulates that power generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization can now “be carried out by the state-owned operating company, as well as by mixed-ownership and private companies holding the corresponding authorization.” “The reform will allow private entities to provide electricity services,” National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez told reporters after the legislative session. “It will make self-generation possible, allowing private companies to generate and supply electricity to businesses, industries, shopping centers, etc. This will help increase supply.”

De la Espriella failed to make Colombia secure in 90 days
His first three months in office ended this week, and by almost every metric violence is rising. Non-state armed groups and organized criminal groups alike have staged a series of attacks on security forces and their infrastructure, likely in retaliation for aggressive security actions that have included bombings carried out by Colombian aerial forces (which have killed at least 8 minors).

Autistici/Inventati case sets a new counterterrorism precedent, Irdi says

https://decode39.com/16319/autistici-inventati-case-sets-a-new-counterterrorism-precedent-irdi-says/

>The U.S. decision targeting Autistici/Inventati should not be read simply as another sanction in Washington’s crackdown on violent extremism. According to Beniamino Irdi, senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund and CEO of Highground, the more significant point lies elsewhere: for the first time, the logic of material support is being applied openly and forcefully to technological infrastructure. The target is no longer only those who carry out an act, but also those who provide the infrastructure that makes it possible. It is a choice that sets a delicate precedent for European allies and for the balance between security, intelligence and legal safeguards.

>Why it matters. The designation marks an unusual use of U.S. counterterrorism sanctions against a European technology collective whose main activity is providing digital infrastructure – from encrypted communications to web hosting.

< It also creates a potential point of discussion between Washington, Rome and Brussels: the U.S. designation carries immediate financial consequences under American jurisdiction, but does not automatically place Autistici/Inventati on Italy’s or the European Union’s terrorist lists.

>What happened. On August 26, the State Department, working with the Treasury Department, designated Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224.

< The State Department describes A/I as an Italy-based extremist organisation that builds and operates digital infrastructure used by violent Antifa cells and other far-left groups internationally. Washington says its services include encrypted email and chats, web hosting, secure videoconferencing and streaming, anonymity tools and the infrastructure behind the Noblogs platform.

>Washington specifically cited the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is designated as a terrorist organisation by the United States and is also on the EU terrorist list. Treasury says Autistici/Inventati was designated for having “materially assisted” or provided technological support, goods or services in support of an act of terrorism

>Q: Irdi, what is the most significant element of the U.S. decision?

< A: The most interesting part is not so much the sanction against this organization, but the fact that the logic of material support to terrorist organizations is being extended to the infrastructure layer. Washington is looking not only at what an entity does, but at what it enables others to do through its services, including in third countries.

>Q: So the United States is not targeting an operational organisation in the traditional sense?

< A: Exactly. The United States is not targeting an operational organisation, but an infrastructure. It is an extension of the scope of countermeasures to technical and infrastructure services that can be used by actors considered dangerous. The key point, however, is the principle being established: infrastructure itself can become the object of a countermeasure.

>Q: How much will the sanction actually affect Autistici/Inventati?

< A: The asset freeze is probably the least significant part of the measure: it is difficult to imagine that a small Italian association has substantial assets in the United States. The real effect comes instead through de-risking. A U.S. designation prompts banks, payment systems, registrars, hosting providers and connectivity providers to pre-emptively cut ties.
< An entity can therefore effectively be expelled from the services market without any court ruling ever having been issued in Italy, and potentially without a criminal proceeding even having been opened. In other words, the real coercive power of the United States lies in progressively making it impossible to bank, host or provide services to the designated entity.

>Q: In other words, the strongest effect could be ostracism.

< A: Yes. They have ostracised them. And this is precisely one of the most interesting and problematic aspects of the case. The power of sanctions derives from the ability to influence third parties, financial and commercial operators that, for compliance reasons, may decide to sever relations with the designated entity.

>Q: Why have we reached this point?

< A: Because over the past few years, the evolution of hostile activities in Europe has followed a very clear trend, especially on the Russian side. After the mass expulsion of Russian officers operating under cover, Moscow has increasingly relied on intermediaries and proxies.
< Assessments by European intelligence services describe a model in which recruiters can identify financially vulnerable individuals or people from criminal environments online and task them with surveillance, vandalism, arson or sabotage. Contact takes place remotely, payment can be made in cryptocurrencies and the person carrying out the act may not even know who they are actually working for.

>Q: And does this also change the way authorities need to look at the threat?

< A: The advantage of this model is deniability. If an operation is built through a succession of intermediaries, it becomes much more difficult to trace it back to the principal. And if the operational model is based on intermediation, it is quite natural for the response to begin shifting from the perpetrators to the enablers: not only those who physically carry out the act, but also those who provide the infrastructure that makes it possible or more difficult to attribute. This is an important evolution of the security paradigm.
< The U.S. designation of A/I does not claim that the organisation is controlled by Russia and should not be interpreted in that way. But the analytical perspective is the same: identifying not only those who carry out the action, but also the network of actors and tools that makes it possible.

>Q: From the standpoint of the legal safeguards typical of Western democracies, how do you see it?

< A: That is the main dilemma. In Western democracies, legal safeguards are difficult to circumvent. An organization may be considered dangerous from an intelligence perspective, but that does not automatically mean that the evidence required under the standards set by law exists to adopt a judicial measure.

>Q: Could Washington ask its allies to follow the same path?

< A: It is possible that the United States is setting a precedent and wants to signal to its allies that efforts to contain the infrastructure supporting violent activities should also be extended to other countries. But this raises a very delicate problem. If the criterion becomes too vague, the risk is that it creates divisions with those same allies.

>Q: What would be the critical point?

< A: For example, it is difficult to imagine that all allies would accept the principle that networks which, in some way, are associated with the Antifa sphere should no longer be allowed to provide services. A very careful distinction must be drawn between political affiliation, protest activity, ideological radicalism and concrete support for violence.
< The same infrastructure can be used by a dissident, a journalist, a political activist or someone claiming responsibility for an act of sabotage. In A/I’s case, projects are openly selected based on their compatibility with certain political principles. Taken on its own, that is a rather weak element on which to base judicial proceedings.

>Q: What, then, is the lesson for Western democracies?

< A: That they will increasingly have to confront the structural elements of the threat. Intelligence may reach the conclusion that an organization represents a risk, but moving from that assessment to a measure carrying legal consequences requires different standards. The issue raised by the A/I case is therefore broader than the individual organisation.
< It is another manifestation of a dilemma that liberal democracies are facing in many different forms as they confront modern threats to their security: how to fight them without eroding the safeguards that constitute their foundation and, ultimately, their freedom.

So they confirmed reincarnation is real.
https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2026/11/11/child-reincarnation
>For some, it's in the realm of fantasy. For others, it's a comforting religious or cultural belief. But for researchers at the University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies, it's science.

>The subject is reincarnation, or the idea that deceased people can be reborn into new bodies. For more than 60 years, researchers at UVA have identified children who, from the time they were toddlers, said they had been been someone else. The children proceeded to provide so much detail — almost always familiarity with places, concepts and people they never knew — that researchers were able to pinpoint the deceased person the child said he or she was reincarnated from.

>Now, a new study from the center shows that people who died a violent or unexpected death are reincarnated more quickly than others.

>Host Robin Young talks to researcher Saeedeh Sadeghi, from UVA's Division of Perceptual Studies about the center and the new study.

David Graeber

Why does everyone in leftist circles hate him now?

I remember when he had a whole cult around him in the early 2010s during Occupy and was a huge cheerleader for the Rojava revolution in the years that followed. His book Debt The First 5000 Years was a huge hit (and I mean HUGE, in the sense that you'd see it sold in both anarchist infoshops and mainstream booksellers like Barnes). He was instrumental in rewriting the historical narrative of class formation and the development of money and economic systems. A lot of Marxists didn't like that but they had zero means of debunking his work. When he died in 2020 there was an outpouring of love from leftists all over the world, for an anarchist intellectual who meant so much to people.

But now, I never see Graeber mentioned, ever. The only times I see him or his work brought up is to heavily chastise it, or attack him for his anarchist politics. Tankies hate him but can never prove him wrong. I have to ask why he's become nothing but a footnote in the history of leftist thought, especially when he was so celebrated 15 years ago.
