Can we stop pretending that Stalinism is a leftist ideology? Stalin transformed the USSR into a reactionary state-capitalist shithole that retained nothing of the Left.
Just read posts by Stalinists - they are indistinguishable from Nazi ones, if you set aside the leftist terminology.

Class A NATO and Class B NATO.
Class A - Germanic NATO.
Class B - Slavic NATO.
When there would be an actual attack on NATO Class B, it doesn't mean the Class A (Germanic) will go and send their soldiers to fight the attacker.
You will not read about this in official documents and statements, but this is the reality.
If for example, Putler would attack the baltics, we might see Poland, Romania and maybe Finland and Sweden, fighting.
NATO is a paper tiger, Putler is already doing hybrid war against baltics, Poland, Romania, but NATO is not reacting at all, they don't respond with hybrid war against Russia.

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????
The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough.

Why is it that the surviving members of the George W. Bush administration who acted as the architects of the Iraq War have never faced any legal penalties for what they did?The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????
The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough. These people have names and addresses and have to face some kind of legal penalties so the world can finally have closure and the Neocon war criminals can finally reap what they sowed.

The Postcolonial Volk
By Benjamin Zachariah
Polity, 176 pages, $25
You might have noticed that at some point, progressive types began to use the term “folks” to refer to “people.” There are black folks, queer folks, indigenous folks. The change is significant. Whereas “people” evokes a sense of a universal subject, “folks” is particular. It implies a world of distinctions: different cultures, different experiences, different interests. No people, just “peoples,” all speaking with a different voice. From this perspective, “The political world is a pluriverse, not a universe.”
While the idea of a pluriverse has become increasingly popular within decolonial thought, that last line didn’t come from the tradition’s ever-proliferating ranks of academic adherents. It came from Carl Schmitt, the Nazi jurist. At a time when everything is “literally Hitler,” the comparison can seem overwrought. But it is precisely the comparison between post-colonial particularism and the völkisch right that Benjamin Zachariah reveals with a keen sense of the absurd in his new book, The Postcolonial Volk.
Zachariah critiques the “conglomerate” of postcolonial and decolonial theory clustering around what’s come to be known as “theory from the Global South.” But appearances are deceiving, because it’s not really from the Global South at all. As Zachariah describes, its language and legitimacy claims are crafted in the Global North, exported to the Global South, and then reimported as authentic non-Western knowledge.
And just as it is not really of the Global South, this ostensibly left-wing “postcolonial-decolonial-Global South conglomerate” is not really of the left either. Despite the right’s insistence that the ghost of Karl Marx is currently undertaking a long march through the institutions, Zachariah’s central claim is that the contemporary left actually has far more in common with anti-communist and proto-fascist forces than with the nineteenth-century founder of “scientific socialism.” In important respects, its ethos actually arises from an entirely rival tradition, one that encompasses romantic nationalism, indigenism, cultural organicism, and völkisch thought. It is, Zachariah says, “Romanticism, rather than the much-reviled Enlightenment, that suggests itself as the intellectual basis of the ‘post-Enlightenment’ world that Global Southistan now lays claim to.”
This is why, as Zachariah shows, the postcolonial outlook now common on the contemporary left is so hostile to the Enlightenment and its ideal of universal truth. In his satirical “Twelve Theses on Postcolonialism,” he condenses its outlook into its propositions including “the individual is an Enlightenment conspiracy” and “the Age of Reason is the Age of Empire.” Contrary to popular belief, universal reason and the emancipation of the individual were central to Marxism and the socialist and communist traditions shaped by it (“We are communists out of egoism,” Engels once wrote to Marx), however miserably they failed in practice. Marx and Engels were part of the Young Hegelian milieu, who were deeply impressed by the “heroes of the French Revolution,” and even called themselves “encyclopaedists” after the eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosophes. This is a far cry from the unholy trinity that Zachariah skewers, however much its adherents may sometimes rummage in the dustbins for what he calls the “debris of Marx- and- Engels-isms.”
Postcolonialism does not simply swap out the working class for some other group of the oppressed. Its object is a mystic unity of culture, collective memory, fraught relationships to race and place, and inherited victimhood. Blood and soil in these formulations are only slightly obscured by a thin rhetorical dust.
As Zachariah shows, the postcolonial tendency’s hostility to individualism and universalism follows precisely from its Romantic and völkisch premises. This is why, as Zachariah describes through a number of jarring examples, its language passes so easily out of the mouths of Hindu nationalists, Islamists, and white identitarians. All emphasize authentic peoples, violated inheritances, foreign contamination, internal betrayers, and cultural restoration as a magical solution to social and political problems.
One of Zachariah’s most illuminating examples is that of Benoy Kumar Sarkar, a Bengali social scientist whom Zachariah describes as “a self-conscious and dedicated user of völkisch ideas” and “zealous co-worker with the Nazis,” who is now unselfconsciously revered as a pioneer of Indian sociology, political science, and forebear of postcolonial thought. That Sarkar was a resolute admirer of Hitler, whom he called “Vivekananda multiplied by Bismarck,” is forgiven or ignored by those eager to find in him a postcolonial precursor.
The story is similar, if more well known, regarding Martin Heidegger, whom Zachariah describes as “postcolonial scholars’ preferred philosopher of ‘affect’” and whose defenders’ attempt to save him from the charge of Nazism “faltered on the evidence of his own diaries.” One compromised intellectual ancestor might be a mere misstep, a product of a momentary lapse in judgment (even if lasting many years). But when the fascist affinities of your forebears must repeatedly be bracketed or explained away, it should tell you that something is wrong with your outlook.
Not that this is really possible, because postcolonialism’s epistemology means it is singularly incapable of recognizing the proto-fascism of its völkisch affinities. As Zachariah writes, these are instead routinely “underplayed or explained away in terms of the ‘difference’ of non-Western cultures, which are allegedly incapable of fascism or to whom Western concepts such as fascism simply do not apply.” If the volk is light-skinned, the politics belong to the right; if dark-skinned, to the left, and ne’er the twain shall meet. And so, the right remains evil for its organic nationalism, while the left is merely seeking cultural renewal; the right is dangerous for denouncing non-white internal enemies but when the left denounces whites it is merely identifying obstacles to “decolonization.” It is the peculiarities of the volk, rather than the politics, that matter.
Why has the left turned to these romantic ideas? Zachariah cites the collapse of the Soviet Union as one cause. But he hits on an even deeper reason near the start of the book, when he draws on Walter Benjamin’s much-quoted vignette inspired by Paul Klee’s Angelus Novus. This is the backward-facing, forward-blown Angel of History, who is to Benjamin, “surveying the debris of the past” as a storm blowing from Paradise drives him perilously into the future. “He would like to pause,” goes the vignette, “to awaken the dead and to piece together what has been smashed,” but the gale has got so strong he cannot close his wings.
Zachariah’s intended point is well taken: We can no more return to an earlier materialist left than postcolonial volk can return to the idyllic time before the colonial “Fall.” Both the longing and the backward-looking means of overcoming it are misguided. But Benjamin’s image also answers a deeper question: Just why is there such a passionate desire to escape the forces of history and take refuge in the wholeness of the past?
In You Shall Be as Gods, Erich Fromm reads the expulsion from Eden not as man’s corruption but “the beginning of his rise.” Eden is the central symbolic story of man’s gradual alienation from animalhood and nature in the development of his capacity to reason and disobey, that is, his capacity for freedom. But crucially, this freedom is experienced as a painful sense of loss, as freedom imposes burdens of uncertainty, choice, and responsibility.
“Man suffers from this loss of oneness,” Fromm writes, and “his most passionate striving is to return to the world of union which was his home.” And so while man, in Fromm’s radical humanist reading of the Hebrew scriptures, reasons and argues with God on his ascent to independence, he is always drawn back downward, “to the womb, the Mother Earth,” and the certainties and bindings of the past, nature, clan, and idols.
This is the deeper yearning expressed in Benjamin’s Angel of History. We want to go back and pick up the pieces, rebuild what’s been lost. But the most painful lesson, the one we continually cannot accept, is that there is no going back.

I hate revisionists
I fucking despise roaders. They have completely ossified mindsets and won't ever change their minds no matter how much I argue (and I argue constantly for the most minor points) while I will publicly criticise myself if I was found to have taken a wrong line. Like they just ignore any evidence I bring up about the fascist state of China. Roaders are set in their ways and won't ever change, they are ideological zombies and the only way to deal with them is to put a bullet in their head and eliminate an enemy to socialism.Anti-revisionism thread

I mean, I guess it could be the hiring discrimination they face, but you don't need to change economic systems to introduce anti- discrimination legislation.
Trans people and communism
I've noticed for a while now that trans people on average are much more likely to be communists or socialists. I've never really thought about it, but why could that be? I've had this image saved since early 2023 (when I started noticing this) and have seen a lot more trans communists since.I mean, I guess it could be the hiring discrimination they face, but you don't need to change economic systems to introduce anti- discrimination legislation.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.
Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.
So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

The CIT recorded 2,650 civilian deaths in Ukraine in 2025 (297 in occupied areas and 2,353 in the rest of the territory). On the Russian side, the deaths amounted to 275. Those figures are based primarily on official records from regional governors, together with reporting from independent media. CIT classifies the data into three categories: Ukraine, occupied Ukraine, and Russia, while excluding attacks on military facilities.

Swedish union ends dispute with Tesla
In a statement, the union said the reason for its decision was that “Tesla has bought out all of our striking members at the company. With no members remaining at Tesla, our industrial action can no longer have an effect. “This does not mean that the fundamental issue behind the conflict has changed. Our goal remains that collective agreements should apply throughout the Swedish labour market, and IF Metall remains ready to fight for collective agreements wherever and whenever employers oppose them.

Hungary uses sunken barges to raise Danube River to keep nuclear plant going
Hungarian authorities are sinking the two barges to raise water levels so Paks, which provides the country with more than a third of its electricity, can continue to operate normally. The sinking began Saturday morning and Hungarian media are quoting the prime minister saying the water level at the plant has risen by 1 centimeter.

Fagan launches leadership bid with GMB support
The launch in Glasgow came as he secured the support of the GMB union, taking him another step towards reaching his target of three affiliate nominations – two from trade unions – which he needs to book a spot on the ballot. “For two Budgets in a row, while other parties forced concessions from the SNP, we sat on the sidelines,” he told supporters, promising to work with the SNP to pass its budget if five tests are met, the first being progress on bringing buses “back under public control” and a £2 cap on fares.

Sedition to anthem: Many lives of ‘Azadi’ chants in India’s youth protests
The entry curve of the protest strip read: “#2026 Gen-Z REVOLUTION!!!” A man in his early twenties climbed a tree carrying a powerful loudspeaker and blasted a song. “Azadi, give me freedom! Azadi, give me freedom! Azadi, give me freedom!” The crowd followed the words, with their hands raised in the air. Azadi, translated as “freedom” in English, a popular hip-hop song from the Bollywood film Gully Boy, became the anthem of the student protests in one of the biggest challenges to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government in years.

Afghanistan marks 5 years under the Taliban with safer streets but pleas for jobs and education
As Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers mark five years since sweeping back to power, some Kabul residents say they feel safer after decades of conflict and upheaval but stress the leaders should now focus on creating jobs and expanding access to schools in the country where girls above the age of 12 are banned from education.

Israel’s ‘pilot zones’: Withdrawal on paper, continued occupation of south Lebanon
On paper, the pilot zones, whose implementation began on 20 July, are meant to work as a formula: a gradual Israeli withdrawal, paired with a handover of sovereignty to the Lebanese Army, and the end of Hezbollah's armed presence in these locations. But Daniel Meier, professor of political science and director of the Master in Middle Eastern Studies at Sciences Po Grenoble, says Israel has sought to use the mechanism for a different purpose.

US pulls last aircraft carrier in Asia as Trump focuses on Iran and the Western Hemisphere
The lack of a U.S. carrier in the Pacific may be short-lived if the Navy deploys another in the next couple of months. But it shows how the open-ended operations with Iran are running some American sailors ragged, analysts say, while the Trump administration further retreats from the Asia-Pacific region and focuses on the Western Hemisphere.

Venezuelan Gov’t and US-Backed Opposition Faction to Renew Supreme Court
The two parties will conduct a process aimed at transforming the judicial system as well as promoting the recovery of Venezuela’s gold reserves frozen at the Bank of England to support the country’s reconstruction following the June 24 earthquakes. The agreement on the judicial overhaul, presented in a joint press conference at the 5-star Melá Hotel in Caracas, effectively replaces the process the Venezuelan National Assembly had launched in May following a reform that increased the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) from 20 to 32 members and a preliminary evaluation of magistrate candidates.

Swedish union ends dispute with Tesla
In a statement, the union said the reason for its decision was that “Tesla has bought out all of our striking members at the company. With no members remaining at Tesla, our industrial action can no longer have an effect. “This does not mean that the fundamental issue behind the conflict has changed. Our goal remains that collective agreements should apply throughout the Swedish labour market, and IF Metall remains ready to fight for collective agreements wherever and whenever employers oppose them.

Hungary uses sunken barges to raise Danube River to keep nuclear plant going
Hungarian authorities are sinking the two barges to raise water levels so Paks, which provides the country with more than a third of its electricity, can continue to operate normally. The sinking began Saturday morning and Hungarian media are quoting the prime minister saying the water level at the plant has risen by 1 centimeter.

Fagan launches leadership bid with GMB support
The launch in Glasgow came as he secured the support of the GMB union, taking him another step towards reaching his target of three affiliate nominations – two from trade unions – which he needs to book a spot on the ballot. “For two Budgets in a row, while other parties forced concessions from the SNP, we sat on the sidelines,” he told supporters, promising to work with the SNP to pass its budget if five tests are met, the first being progress on bringing buses “back under public control” and a £2 cap on fares.

Sedition to anthem: Many lives of ‘Azadi’ chants in India’s youth protests
The entry curve of the protest strip read: “#2026 Gen-Z REVOLUTION!!!” A man in his early twenties climbed a tree carrying a powerful loudspeaker and blasted a song. “Azadi, give me freedom! Azadi, give me freedom! Azadi, give me freedom!” The crowd followed the words, with their hands raised in the air. Azadi, translated as “freedom” in English, a popular hip-hop song from the Bollywood film Gully Boy, became the anthem of the student protests in one of the biggest challenges to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government in years.

Senior citizens endure long wait for promised support
The labor leader from San Andres, Manila had already submitted everything required for the government’s cash incentive for older Filipinos including her birth certificate, a valid ID and a photograph. No medical records. No income certification. The barangay officials handling the process are also senior citizens who know the community well which should hasten the process.

Afghanistan marks 5 years under the Taliban with safer streets but pleas for jobs and education
As Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers mark five years since sweeping back to power, some Kabul residents say they feel safer after decades of conflict and upheaval but stress the leaders should now focus on creating jobs and expanding access to schools in the country where girls above the age of 12 are banned from education.

Israel’s ‘pilot zones’: Withdrawal on paper, continued occupation of south Lebanon
On paper, the pilot zones, whose implementation began on 20 July, are meant to work as a formula: a gradual Israeli withdrawal, paired with a handover of sovereignty to the Lebanese Army, and the end of Hezbollah's armed presence in these locations. But Daniel Meier, professor of political science and director of the Master in Middle Eastern Studies at Sciences Po Grenoble, says Israel has sought to use the mechanism for a different purpose.

US pulls last aircraft carrier in Asia as Trump focuses on Iran and the Western Hemisphere
The lack of a U.S. carrier in the Pacific may be short-lived if the Navy deploys another in the next couple of months. But it shows how the open-ended operations with Iran are running some American sailors ragged, analysts say, while the Trump administration further retreats from the Asia-Pacific region and focuses on the Western Hemisphere.

Morocco arrests 111 migrants headed for Spain's Ceuta in security crackdown

Venezuelan Gov’t and US-Backed Opposition Faction to Renew Supreme Court
The two parties will conduct a process aimed at transforming the judicial system as well as promoting the recovery of Venezuela’s gold reserves frozen at the Bank of England to support the country’s reconstruction following the June 24 earthquakes. The agreement on the judicial overhaul, presented in a joint press conference at the 5-star Melá Hotel in Caracas, effectively replaces the process the Venezuelan National Assembly had launched in May following a reform that increased the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) from 20 to 32 members and a preliminary evaluation of magistrate candidates.

Brazilian presidential candidate stages a falseflag, blames Leftypol
Yesterday, someone in Leftypol's latam board posted a death threat to Renan Santos, a Brazilian candidate in this year's presidential elections. Within (what I believe to be) seconds, it was deleted by the own OP. Reportedly no one saw that post, but it is in the board's log. Some hours later, websites and social media started circulating this as (minor) news, and Renan Santos promptly recorded a video (related) wearing a bulletproof vest saying he's being threatened by radical leftists in an obscure imageboard, who intended to kill him on his next speech at an university (the most famous one in Brazil), yadda yadda.
Renan Santos is a member of MBL and its Missão party, which are alt-right organizations that are somewhat popular with the Brazilian youth. He is ranking low, at only 4% of estimated votes in the upcoming elections, but he ranks higher with young voters, and will probably scoop a third place behind Lula and Bolsonaro's son.
Thoughts?

That prices =/= labor-costs can simply be explained by supply/demand granting higher bargaining power to the bourgeois.
However, if this is correct, why can't we solve the transformation problem ? I might be wrong in my understanding of the LTV so this might explain the issue, but it seems that there's no satisfying solution to it.
If the LTV is correct, what's the solution to the transformation problem ?
I mostly agree with the LTV because it's almost a tautology. A commodity needs labor to be produced and other commodities aswell. As such, any commodity can be broken down and will always be reduccible to its labor-content.That prices =/= labor-costs can simply be explained by supply/demand granting higher bargaining power to the bourgeois.

Take the Revolutionary War, probably the most commonly cited example. Yes, the Continental Army was fighting the British Empire. But the Americans were financed and materially supported by France and later Spain, while Britain was simultaneously dealing with multiple conflicts across the globe. Calling this a straightforward case of a tiny, helpless underdog taking on an all-powerful empire leaves out a few inconvenient details.
Then there's WW2, where the American "underdog" narrative becomes even more impressive. The average American soldier was significantly better paid than soldiers in all other armies. An American private earned around $50 a month, compared with roughly $12 for a British private. An American sergeant could out-earn officers in some other countries. American troops were also extraordinarily well supplied, with vastly greater access to not just food, ammunition, equipment, transportation, but for ice-cream, thanksgiving Turkey and cigarettes
The Impacts of America's Underdog Psychology
One cultural trend I've noticed over the years is how many Americans, especially on the neoconservative right(though not exclusively) genuinely seem to view American history through the lens of the plucky underdog fighting against overwhelming odds. Which is a rather odd interpretation of history, if you ignore the small detail that the United States was usually the side with more resources, more money, better logistics or some combination of all three.Take the Revolutionary War, probably the most commonly cited example.

It's also hard to pay attention to the lyrics since:
1) They never feel worth it to pay attention to, especially the more a song sounds good, (for some reason it seems like no song can accomplish both). Ex: I had a genuine terrible time with rage against the machine and Daughters because the sound completely negated any enjoyment I had paying attention to their lyrics.
2) It seems like when listening to a song, all you're actually suppose to do is feel and not think about it much, basically the song being nothing but a vibe machine, (I'm basing this off of a study where 70% of people listen to music to just remember the past). Which is extremely contradictory to how people talk about music, (especially music nerds).
So is there any ultra master peace albums/songs you guys can recommend that can completely change my opinion? To make it easy to recommend, I mostly listen to anime and video game music, with random pop songs here and there.

World War III and the death of civilization
World War 3 is the endresult of self-imposed tyranny upon the human race and the world for 3,000+ years. It was inevitable that technology would progress to the point that humanity had the capability to destroy itself and take the world out along with it. WW3 is also the only solution to nation-states. They're gonna eat themselves. I look forward to the death of the nation-state. People said ANPRIM would never return - you cannot outsmart nature and biology. It was inevitable that this was gonna happen. Pride destroyed us all. It's the same story every single time, except next time there's no escaping the collapse.

I don't give a fuck about your gender.
I seriously don't care what your pronouns are, you don't need them, no-one needs them. I barely even care what your name is. I don't care what you have in your pants unless you want me to touch it. This shit is an absolute waste of time and I only tolerate it because the patriarchal status quo is fucking poison and these coping mechanisms might help a few aching people.
Act how you want. Just don't expect me to accept society's genderist delusion. Masculinity is a spook. Femininity is a spook. You're looking for something lying underneath those labels - not the labels themselves.

The most ridiculous part was that the supposed divide between the Dirtbag Left and the DSA left barely existed. They agreed on healthcare, labor, foreign policy, housing, policing and virtually every other major issue. The defining ideological conflict of the era was essentially whether you were allowed to make edgy 90's raunch comedy jokes on podcasts. Entire feuds and endless Twitter meltdowns emerged from a disagreement that amounted to "can you say slurs ironically?"
The confidence was incredible, leftist genuinely talked as if DSA-aligned leadership of every major American city was inevitable, as if Bernie was one good news cycle away from the White House and as if a handful of podcasts by stand up comedians had somehow cracked the code of political history.
In retrospect, it all seems absurd. There was never a realistic path to any of it. The movement's grandest ambitions had essentially zero chance of materializing.
Then reality intervened. Bernie lost, The post-COVID world arrivedm Housing crises worsened, Migration became politically explosive, Major wars returnedm China didn't democratize and instead looked increasingly capable of navigating long-term crises without becoming a Western liberal democracy and the assumptions underlying the entire scene collapsed one by one.
A lot of the old supporters ended up as tankies. A smaller but noticeable number drifted toward the far right. Sometimes they somehow became both at once. The aesthetic transformation is almost as funny as the political one, the old Dirtbag Left revolved around schlubby podcasters making jokes about being ironically gay, the people who inherited its audience are often obsessed with MMA, military history, geopolitical realism and posting shirtless workout photos. The few remaining loyalists seem to have finally realized that their politics were never meaningfully different from the DSA's in the first place and appear perfectly content settling into the role of ordinary progressive liberals.
What a strange, stupid little farce that was.
On the Dirtbag Left/DSA movement
For a brief moment from 2016-2022 this was supposedly the pinnacle of online left-wing politics. Bernie was about to win, Democratic socialism was the future, China would inevitably democratize and the old boring MLism was dead. A few DSA-backed candidates winning city council seats in already progressive districts was treated as if the Bolsheviks had just stormed the Winter Palace.The most ridiculous part was that the supposed divide between the Dirtbag Left and the DSA left barely existed.

His first studies were in the rural public school of Biran, where he learned to read and write, continuing the following educational levels in private catholic schools in the city of Santiago de Cuba. In 1945 he graduated as a bachelor of arts at the Colegio de Belen in Havana, belonging to the Society of Jesus. He then entered the University of Havana to study social sciences and national and international law.
Restless, observant, sharp in his reflections and outstanding in all learning, in the university environment he joined the socio-political struggles of his time, occupying various positions in the University Student Federation. With an ideology favorable to just, libertarian and popular causes, he soon became involved in revolutionary activities, such as those of the Committee for the Independence of Puerto Rico.
Fidel Castro was 25 years old when he was designated by the party as candidate for Congress in the elections scheduled for June 1952, but on March 10 of that year the coup d'état of Colonel Fulgencio Batista Zaldívar took place, being Fidel Castro one of the first to denounce the reactionary and illegitimate character of the de facto regime and to call for its overthrow.
On July 26, 1953 he commanded the assault on the Moncada barracks in Santiago de Cuba, a plan that included also taking the Bayamo barracks, in an action conceived as a detonator of the armed struggle against the Batista regime. Unfortunately, his tactics failed and he was taken prisoner by the repressive forces of the tyranny a few days after the military setback. He was held incommunicado for 76 days. He was put on trial and sentenced to 15 years in prison. However, the popular reaction in his support and that of the rest of the Moncadistas succeeded in pressuring the government, and they were released in May 1955. Weeks later he founded the 26th of July Movement to continue the revolutionary struggle. In the name of revolutionary power, he proclaimed on April 16, 1961 the socialist character of the Cuban Revolution. He led the Cuban people in the days of the dramatic October Crisis of 1962.
After the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, he was elected deputy to the National Assembly of People's Power -created in 1976-, representing the municipality of Santiago de Cuba. From then until 2008, he served as President of the Council of State and President of the Council of Ministers. Fidel Castro received a large number of foreign and Cuban decorations, as well as numerous academic and honorary distinctions from centers of higher education in Cuba, Latin America and Europe.
On January 3, 1961, at that time, the President of the United States of America (USA), Dwight D. Eisenhower, broke diplomatic relations with Cuba due to political and ideological differences, and ordered the closure of the US embassy in Havana. Subsequently, on February 3, 1962, Democratic President John F. Kennedy officially ordered the economic and commercial blockade of Cuba.
He promoted on a worldwide scale the battle of the Third World against the current international economic order, particularly against the foreign debt, the waste of resources as a result of military spending and neoliberal globalization, as well as the efforts for the unity and integration of Latin America and the Caribbean. He was the main promoter of the Non-Aligned Movement.
He led the determined action of the Cuban people to confront the effects of the economic blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States for more than sixty years and the economic consequences of the collapse of the European socialist community, and promoted the tenacious effort of Cubans to overcome the serious difficulties resulting from these factors, their resistance during the so-called Special Period and the resumption of the country's economic growth and development.
For almost fifty years, he promoted and directed the struggle of the Cuban people for the consolidation of the revolutionary process, its advance towards socialism, the unity of the revolutionary forces and of all the people, the economic and social transformations of the country, the development of education , health, sports, culture and science, defense, confronting external aggressions, conducting an active foreign policy of principles, solidarity actions with the peoples who fight for independence and progress, and the deepening of the revolutionary, internationalist and communist consciousness of the people.
On July 31, 2006, he resigned from his official positions due to health problems. From then on, he wrote about the problems of the contemporary world in numerous reflections and articles published in the Cuban media during his convalescent period. He dedicated enormous efforts in his last years to projects related to agriculture and human and animal nutrition. Due to his moral authority, he influenced important and strategic decisions of the Revolution.
He passed away on November 25, 2016, in Havana, Cuba at 10:29 p.m., at the age of 90. In compliance with his will, his remains were cremated. His ashes were deposited in the Santa Ifigenia Cemetery, in a solemn ceremony, on December 4, 2016.
The president was a symbol of resistance on the continent, before the advance of the US imperial forces. The figure of Fidel Castro was not only a symbol in Cuba but also in the world, thanks to his actions in defense of the welfare and sovereignty of the island and its inhabitants. Despite being subjected to the US blockade, Cuba managed to maintain its sovereignty and Fidel and the Cuban revolution became a figure of impact and inspiration in the Latin American context of the 20th century, his challenge to the most powerful power, he turned the revolution into a model of the Latin American resistance and elsewhere, and the image of Fidel with his beard, cigar and green military clothing as universal symbols of rebellion.
Among the actions he carried out to maintain sovereignty and transform Cuban society, the following can be mentioned:
The Literacy Campaign of 1961 and the redesign of the education system to improve the levels of education among a large part of the Cuban population that was illiterate in 1959. Carried out with volunteers and at a low cost, in a short time it reflected an improvement in the rates of literacy, made education universally accessible, leading Cuba to be the first place in Latin America in 2007 in literacy.
The provision of Cuban medical assistance to Latin America and other countries. The large number of highly trained medical personnel travel to various countries and the Latin American School of Medicine is expanded on the outskirts of Havana
Establishment of the "Scientific Pole" and development of the biotechnological sector, which led the island to achieve important exports of pharmaceutical products for 296.8 million pesos compared to 233.4 million for sugar exports. In addition, Cuba's investment in the "Polo Científico" has built a professional and institutional foundation for future success in the pharmaceutical and other scientific fields.
Fidel Castro is 100 years old today
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz was born on August 13, 1926 in Biran, a former Cuban province in the eastern part of the island. He was the son of Ángel Castro Argiz and Lina Ruz González. His father was a Galician migrant; when he arrived in Cuba he had obtained some property and, as a peasant farmer, he dedicated himself to sugar cane production. His mother came from a peasant family in the province of Pinar del Río. Fidel Castro is one of the great protagonists of 20th century history and politics, and one of the most relevant figures in Cuban and Latin American history. He is considered the father of the Cuban Revolution.His first studies were in the rural public school of Biran, where he learned to read and write, continuing the following educational levels in private catholic schools in the city of Santiago de Cuba. In 1945 he graduated as a bachelor of arts at the Colegio de Belen in Havana, belonging to the Society of Jesus.

So I'm going to start with Kant's critique of pure reason for now and work my way up.
At the same time I have also read about half of the Ego and it's own and fear that I am wasting my time doing this as I can already intuit some of the ideas and their implications while consciously knowing that I'll gain far more insight doing it the hard way.
For people who have read a lot of philosophy, what do you think? Is it better to be patient or start with the harder texts and reread them?
I'm starting philosophy
I just watched the Matrix Trilogy (AGP classic; literally made by trans women and is trans culture) and it inspired me to get into continental (and even analytic) philosophy; I especially want to get into the former as the latter seems to be getting at about the same conclusions but it takes them longer and is dogmatic (and also Chomsky is tied to Epstein). Regardless of Deleuze's character I was going to start with schizophrenia and capitalism but I discovered the reading list in linkrel:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz4DvIJlZow

What is anti-Western about it?
Why do right-wingers say Marxism is anti-Western?
Marxism is part of Western culture. It's the combination of English political economy (e.g. Mill, Ricardo, Smith), French socialism (e.g. Fourier, Proudhon, Saint-Simon) and German philosophy (e.g. Hegel, Fichte, Feuerbach).What is anti-Western about it?

I see a lot of people like in the article’s author, especially leftists, talk about it, and honestly? I’m not seeing it, at all. Maybe because I haven’t been active in the anime fandom for a decade by now (last discourse I got caught up in was the dumb flame war over “elitists” vs “casuals” on MAL), or maybe because I only consoome old (read: 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s) media because I don’t like much of contemporary media, but can’t say with certainty, but I just don’t see it.
Sure, perhaps the proportion of Japanese creators being chuds increased in recent years, but I don’t see that being particularly well-reflected in the current output of the Japanese animation and comic industries. The political messaging of 20th century and early 2000s anime and manga seems to be same as 2020s anime and manga insofar that both are all over the place in equal amounts.
Among “chuddy” anime, I can only think of GATE (literal JSDF propaganda), HighSchool Of The Dead (zombie shounen ecchi horror with big tiddie girls made by a far-right mangaka who hates leftists, supports the JSDF, a gun nut, and hates Koreans), and Frieren (what with the genocided human-like predatory demons being portrayed in deterministic ways in spite of showing signs of actual sapience the story never addresses), but that’s about it.
As for manga, the best I can think of as of late is Drama Queen with many seeing the aliens as allegory for immigrants in Japan, although many can’t decide if they’re supposed to be stand-ins for American/Euro expats, tourists, East Asian renters, SEA and SA migrant workers, Kurdish refugees, or a pastiche of all of them. But that’s like an exception compared to the shit-ton of manga that pushes feminist, anti-racist and other socially progressive themes.
I think it has already been discussed before, but Japan being NPC-topia combined with how being a busherite is deemed as the most acceptable way to express oneself in Japanese politics as opposed to, say, being a Maoist might have a lot to do with why a lot of mangakas seem to be chuds, which is easy as the majority of Japanese people in general are disconnected in politics. In fact, the biggest political rallies in recent times are those for pensioner rights, and Japan can be tentatively argued to be a “dictatorship” by the same standards we use to describe Singapore, what with both countries being governed by the same right to centre right party for almost their entire existence, and most liberals regard Singapore as more of a benevolent dictatorship despite having elections, so there’s that.
With that said, I don’t really see any noticeable increase in chud-coded manga and anime, at least not among normie spaces. And of the ones that exist, they’re more of an exception than the norm. In fact, “Psycho-Pass 3” and “20th Century Boys” are the only instances in modern anime and manga in the mainstream market that I remember where the subject of immigration to Japan in modern times has ever been broached without resorting to fantastical allegories like in “Cop Craft”, and all of them treated it neutrally. So I think this concern among leftists is overblown.
But feel free to disagree with me. I don’t think I’m bringing anything new to the table, I just want to be proven wrong.

Dominican Republic’s expulsion of Cuban officials sparks geopolitical tension
In recent months, several conservative Latin American countries, including Colombia and Ecuador, have cut relations or closed their embassies in Cuba while proclaiming their political alignment with Trump. Cuba’s Foreign Ministry reacted that the expulsion involved 10 officials — not nine as the Dominicans had stated — and expressed regret over the decision by Dominican President Luis Abinader.

Canadian plasma clinics pause collections after deaths of two donors

The two deaths occurred after plasma donations in October 2025 and January 2026, Health Canada said in March of this year. The donors, both of whom were in the province of Manitoba, went into “distress” while donating, people familiar with the cases said.

Labour divided over indefinite leave to remain
Since May 2025, the Labour government has been preparing sweeping changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain status. The Home Office is set to replace the standard five-year route to achieving permanent residence with an ‘earned settlement’ model. For migrants classified as low or mid-skilled workers the route could be extended to 10 or 15 years. People who came to Britain under one set of rules are being forced to adhere to a new set that will make workers more dependent on employers.

"What we are witnessing are multiple forms of violence," Musani said, citing the use of heavy weapons, destruction of health facilities and the detention or abduction of healthcare workers and patients. During this period 94 healthcare workers have been detained.

There are moments in history when the true priorities of a political system reveal themselves with extraordinary clarity. Empires speak grandly of liberty, sacrifice and national security. Yet beneath the flags, medals and polished speeches lies the material reality of power.
And apparently, that reality comes in a paper bag.
According to our entirely serious reconstruction of events, an American Air Force pilot recently entered the presidential office wearing full flight equipment, approached Donald Trump and delivered that most strategically vital of American resources: McDonald's.

This is how shit every monopoly company is.
The problem has always been the bourgeoise when will the pol proletariat realize the hell they live in?
I believe never. They are keen to remain ignorant forever following a dream of wealth that does not exist, because it was stolen from them.
You are forced into crime because all CEOs are criminals.

Back then, GamerGate was the start of something fresh, something edgy, something that was actually rebellious against both the bourgeois moralisms stifling the internet and the feminist hegemony that no western male could escape from. It was an escape valve, in other words.
But of course, I was wrong as GamerGate later on mestatized into being another wing of the current right-wing hegemonic ChudIntern. Indeed, GamerGate was merely an exercise in online reactionary activism, but we should actually try to analyse it as opposed to dismissing it as chuds being chuds.
It’s won’t give you the kind of analysis that has probably been done to death here, such as the alienation of young men, the rise of white upper-class female idpol and the HR-style managerial culture that preceded online censorship and SJWs’ political correctness, journos forming email groups as part of a coordinated attack on the median gamer, the MSM’s double standards towards female-exclusive spaces vs treating male-only spaces (such as gaming) pathologically, etc…
This is a good summary of the event from a gamergater’s POV: https://wolfsheadonline.com/how-wikipedia-and-molly-white-rewrote-the-history-of-gamergate/
Instead, I’ll say this: The rise of the gooner chuds that you see today is a product of GamerGate, itself being downstream from the left’s rejection of sex-positivity and and pathologisation of any form of assertive male heterosexuality to heed the demands of the feminist bourgeoise that held a stranglehold on the left.
Obviously the online right isn’t really sex-positive as much as being pro-sexual hierarchy and has been the case within the western right since the days of the Nazis and even before then (e.g., Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume). It’s just that their vision of sexuality makes enough space for male heterosexuality to attract young men (the most revolutionary demographic) into their fold. The left’s response? It’s either dumb Puritanism as shown by puriteens who think Euphoria (that show starring Sydney Sweeney) is rape culture, or bastardised “trad Marxism” about banning porn and prosties cuz muh exploitation even tho Chinese games nowadays are heavily gooned out + the Soviet bloc was lax on non-commercial erotica (hence why post-collapse Eastern Europe became a thriving heaven for porn). The modern left thought that selling out on the 1970s sex positivity to appease radfems was worth it despite handing the right a victory. I mean, remember that time Reddit’s r/socialism mods went apeshit over catgirl anime edits even tho it was done a female leftist member and it was just SFW anime girls but with cat ears edited on them? Yh, that’s the level of discourse you’re dealing with when it comes to sex-negative leftists.
Of course, there’s the issue of ageism, and ohh boy is that big. There’s this attitude among both the centre and the left where young men are often infantilised as being lost sheeple or stigmatised over their age in ways that would be alienating if done to other demographics, so the end result is young men flocking to the right precisely because they don’t think they will have any stakes in the left. Seniors are supposed to help youths who are proven to be determined to fight for the revolution, not throw’ em away for violating some HR-mandated code. It’s one thing to maintain decorum in conversations and being opposed to extremism, but you won’t get far if you try to overpolice on every little convo your members have.
What’s the takeaway from me then? The left rejecting sex-positivity and embracing ageism were its two biggest mistakes that cost them an entire generation.
P.S.: It’s one thing to oppose sexual hierarchies that devalue humans, it’s another to devalue the body and the Eros in and of themselves. The left shouldn’t necessarily embrace prostitution, but it also shouldn’t embrace sex-negativity either. I would personally suggest reviving the free sex movement because, if sex does become widely available under a secular sex positive society, then obviously prostitutes and porn studios and pimps would be out of business. That’s why Marx often noted how traditionalist marital moralism coexisted with prostitution, with or without its prohibition. But I’m open for other suggestions.
Again, can’t say if it’s said already or not, but I do think those points need to be hammered home as it seems that the left prior to the Gaza genocide was struggling to remain relevant, especially as Big tech right figures like Musk and Thiel were pumping a shit ton of dollars to aid the remnants of the alt-right to carve their mockingbird network out of it; their work has paid off in the form of the current unholy MAGA and alt-right and neocon nexus that I’d like to call “white neoconservatism with Enoch Powell characteristics”, with Australia’s and Canada’s brightest minds Drew Pavlou and Captive_Dreamer starting out differently only to end up being rabid racist neocons.
So yh: Sex-negativity and Ageism are bad things, folks.
GamerGate: A retrospective
Not sure if this is the right place, but since this is the gaming tab, I say why not?Back then, GamerGate was the start of something fresh, something edgy, something that was actually rebellious against both the bourgeois moralisms stifling the internet and the feminist hegemony that no western male could escape from. It was an escape valve, in other words.
But of course, I was wrong as GamerGate later on mestatized into being another wing of the current right-wing hegemonic ChudIntern. Indeed, GamerGate was merely an exercise in online reactionary activism, but we should actually try to analyse it as opposed to dismissing it as chuds being chuds.
It’s won’t give you the kind of analysis that has probably been done to death here, such as the alienation of young men, the rise of white upper-class female idpol and the HR-style managerial culture that preceded online censorship and SJWs’ political correctness, journos forming email groups as part of a coordinated attack on the median gamer, the MSM’s double standards towards female-exclusive spaces vs treating male-only spaces (such as gaming) pathologically, etc…
This is a good summary of the event from a gamergater’s POV: https://wolfsheadonline.com/how-wikipedia-and-molly-white-rewrote-the-history-of-gamergate/
Instead, I’ll say this: The rise of the gooner chuds that you see today is a product of GamerGate, itself being downstream from the left’s rejection of sex-positivity and and pathologisation of any form of assertive male heterosexuality to heed the demands of the feminist bourgeoise that held a stranglehold on the left.
Obviously the online right isn’t really sex-positive as much as being pro-sexual hierarchy and has been the case within the western right since the days of the Nazis and even before then (e.g., Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume). It’s just that their vision of sexuality makes enough space for male heterosexuality to attract young men (the most revolutionary demographic) into their fold. The left’s response? It’s either dumb Puritanism as shown by puriteens who think Euphoria (that show starring Sydney Sweeney) is rape culture, or bastardised “trad Marxism” about banning porn and prosties cuz muh exploitation even tho Chinese games nowadays are heavily gooned out + the Soviet bloc was lax on non-commercial erotica (hence why post-collapse Eastern Europe became a thriving heaven for porn). The modern left thought that selling out on the 1970s sex positivity to appease radfems was worth it despite handing the right a victory. I mean, remember that time Reddit’s r/socialism mods went apeshit over catgirl anime edits even tho it was done a female leftist member and it was just SFW anime girls but with cat ears edited on them? Yh, that’s the level of discourse you’re dealing with when it comes to sex-negative leftists.
Of course, there’s the issue of ageism, and ohh boy is that big. There’s this attitude among both the centre and the left where young men are often infantilised as being lost sheeple or stigmatised over their age in ways that would be alienating if done to other demographics, so the end result is young men flocking to the right precisely because they don’t think they will have any stakes in the left. Seniors are supposed to help youths who are proven to be determined to fight for the revolution, not throw’ em away for violating some HR-mandated code.

I only used a "gamer" feminist as a picrel because misandrists are harder to catch than misogynists because everyone's either too naive or a pussy orbiter or a misandrist themselves. Throw the first stone ye simps. They all virtue-fy their hate of Man and then the simps just sealion along.
There's a much older name for bitter "incels" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timon_of_Athens_(person)
Timon was too nice when he was rich so when he got poor everyone deserted him. When he got rich again, he was an asshole to everyone. His kindness was ill-informed and in his naivete and he became his true self when he got redpilled. The redpill is a Marxist concept through Debord so it's all misanthropy via heteropessimist gender alienation.
Misanthropy
Misanthropy is a hatred or a negative view of the human race. Everything that the misandrists and the misogynists hate about their chosen hated sex exists within their own self-identified sex so in the big picture it is that they hate humans. If sex is oppression and a humiliation ritual then that species of life itself is at fault.
Hatred of the opposite sex is indirect misanthropy

I definitely don't want to be a man, but something keeps me from fully feeling like a woman. I don't feel any solidarity or strong connection to men or women; I see them as alien to me and mired in an unnecessary idpol. I feel uncomfortable when I have to identify my gender. It's like I'm a third gender or something. Is this normal and will it go away with time? I've been on HRT for a little over half a year, obviously boymoding.

The Zionist Entity is a genocidal settler-colonial apartheid state set up by the European and North American powers to colonize the middle east. Even early zionists like Theodor Herzl understood Israel in these explicitly settler-colonial terms. Here is Herzl speaking in the 1800s, when Palestine was still Ottoman territory:
>If His Majesty the Sultan were to give us Palestine, we could offer to resolve Turkey’s finances. For Europe, we would form part of a bulwark against Asia there, we would serve as the advance post of civilisation against barbarism.
So Theodor Herzel felt not only that European people were entitled to Palestine over the people already living there (including Ottoman Jews), but that the presence of "civilized" Europeans in Israel would form a "bulwark" (forward operating base(offensive, not defensive)) against Asia, which entire continent Herzl racistly characterized as "barbaric."
Herzl was born on May 2nd , 1860 in Budapest, Hungary to a family of German speaking assimilated Jews. His father, Jakob, was a wealthy businessman and the young Theodor was expected to enter politics or engineering by his parents. In a sense, he did not disappoint, as Herzl was destined to become the father of political Zionism. While Herzl never saw his Jewish state during his lifetime, his ideology remains so influential that even today he is considered the father of Israel.
Herzl’s birthday is a holiday in Israel, his grave is a national monument, the organization he founded is still active today and the largest mountain in the country was re-named in his honor. It is not an exaggeration to say that Herzl and his ideology remain central to Zionism.
As a young man, Herzl was a fanatic Germanophile. He believed that if Jews simply tried hard enough, they could become “Germanized” and shake off what he called “shameful Jewish characteristics.” Herzl viewed German culture and language as inherently superior to that of the reviled working-class Yiddish speaking Jews. At first, he believed that Jews should be Germanized, arguing that Eastern European Jews were so "savage" and backwards that they must learn the very concepts of beauty and nobility by studying the works of authors like Goethe and Shakespeare. He initially envisioned his Zion as a German colony, and waxed poetic about importing German culture to the orient. However, as time went on, Herzl increasingly started to believe that Jews could not and should not assimilate into Europe, and the only solution to the “Jewish question” was the complete removal of all Jews from Europe. Herzl’s Zionism is fundamentally based in notions about Jewish incompatibility with gentile society. Herzl dedicated the rest of his life to his goal of a Jewish state. In 1897, he founded the World Zionist Organization, a big tent coalition of Zionists dedicated to creating a Jewish state by any means necessary. As time went on, and the "Labor" Zionist wings were increasingly persecuted by Herzl, the organization moved farther and farther to the right. Given what Herzl believed in, this is understandable. Unlike the Zionists of today, who must pretend to have some respect for the charade known as international law, Herzl was quite open about his plans.
In the view of Herzl, Israel was explicitly a colonial project, and he toured the capitals of Europe trying to drum up support and funding for his cause. Herzl cast a wide net, he was not terribly concerned with who supported him, or why. He gladly worked with some of the most extreme antisemites on earth. After many attempts to get a meeting with Tsar Nicholas II by promising to solve Russia’s “Jewish problem”, Herzl finally got a letter saying Russia would support his proposed deportation of the Jews. He kept it for the rest of his life, treating it as one of his most prized possessions.
At the same time, Tsarist forces were carrying out reactionary pogroms all throughout the so-called Pale of Settlement, the home of most of Europe’s Jews. In 1903, the same year Herzl was in correspondence with the Tsar, over seven hundred pogroms took place in Ukraine and Moldova alone resulting in the murder of thousands of Jews. In many cases, the pogroms were incited by the Tsar’s secret police and in others the guilty were simply granted clemency by the government. Herzl knew all of this, and his continued support of the Tsarist government was controversial even inside his own movement.
In the end, it was all for nothing. The Tsar did not keep his word and Herzl was perfectly willing to sacrifice thousands of Jews in exchange for empty promises. Sadly, the genocidal tendencies inside Zionism would only accelerate as the movement grew. The Tsar wasn’t the only one who used Herzl as a tool. Starting in 1896, Herzl actively worked with the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II. After a meeting with the Sultan’s advisors in the Levant to discuss strategy, Herzl threw his support behind the Armenian Genocide, a crime so vile it had cut off the Ottomans from European loans. Herzl believed that he could jump in to fill that gap, offering to pay off the empire’s increasing debts using funds raised from European Zionists in exchange for permission to start a colony in Palestine.
Although he found almost no support even inside the World Zionist Council, Herzl spent 5 years touring Europe, speaking, raising funds and writing articles in support of Turkey’s extermination of the Armenian people. Herzl cast the crumbling empire as a historical ally of the Jews and one they should support. He called the Ottomans civilized and decent people, justified in their actions due to the allegedly backwards and violent ways of the subhuman Armenians. He was even awarded a medal by the Grand Vizier in Istanbul, in commemoration of his loyal service to the Ottoman Empire.
In 1901, Herzl finally got his long-awaited meeting with the Sultan, who rejected his proposal out of hand. Once again, Herzl was perfectly willing to sacrifice thousands of lives for words on paper. Today, Herzl’s "civilized" slaughter is viewed as an act of genocide by all credible historians and groups as diverse as the United Nations, the United States Government, the European Union, the Anti-Defamation League, and the World Jewish Congress, who specifically called it “the blueprint of the Holocaust.” With his options dwindling, Herzl even turned to Cecil Rhodes, the openly white supremacist founder of the unrecognized apartheid state of Rhodesia to ask for his advice and blessing to colonize Palestine. Although his efforts amounted to nothing, the ideological connections remained, and the state of Israel became a close ally of Rhodesia. At one point, Israel was one of the only countries willing to sell weapons and licenses to its fellow apartheid states. Israel even collaborated with apartheid South Africa on its nuclear program, a direct violation of international law which was never punished.
>"You are being invited to help make history. It doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen but Jews… How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial" - Herzl in a letter to Cecil Rhodes
At best, Herzl represents the sort of reactionary, callous “realpolitik” that the state of Israel still embraces today. At worst, he was a genocidal racist willing to support even the vilest crimes to advance his movement.
Palestine Versus The Zionist Entity
We haven't had this thread in a while so I'm bringing it back.The Zionist Entity is a genocidal settler-colonial apartheid state set up by the European and North American powers to colonize the middle east.
