What does Leftypol think about capital punishment?

What do people on this Website think about the death penalty? Most transitional socialist states have the death penalty but most leftist groups in the west oppose it.

diy tobacco products

i quit smoking and vaping long ago and switched to using dry snuff, the stuff you sniff up your nose like a 19th century upper-class british woman. i like the german styles of snuff like poschl brand that have a nice menthol and eucalyptus flavor that gives a pleasant cooling sensation and clears the sinuses and delivers the instant nicotine hit that i so sorely need. unfortunately trump's signing of the pact act along with his steep tariffs have made ordering tobacco products from overseas extraordinarily expensive for americans so i did some research and learned how to make my own nasal snuff by grinding dried ryo tobacco into flour and mixing in sodium carbonate, salt, a bit of water, and menthol and eucalyptus dissolved in mineral oil and letting it alkalyze for about a week or so. makes a nice snuff that is just as good as poschl brand and is dead simple and costs next to nothing to make.

I Want to Leave the Right

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

how to effectively fight transmisoginy in gnc spaces?

I legitimately think Blanchardism it's the ecquivalent of a nuclear bomb in the trans ecosphere.

a rust stain in an already slow mechanism.

we can't literally brush it off without hurting and we can't ignore it without it spreading like a cancer.

if we decide to not talk about it it generates doubt, it makes us look afraid of it, almost like we're hiding something.

if we talk about it it hurts also, we know it's there just to hurt, but it's already there and ignoring it would make as much damage as looking at it too much.

>inb4 it doesn't matter

<it shouldn't

but it has already corroded what little mechanisms we had in place and sometimes it makes you think if it's a mechanism worth even saving over just making a new one.

saving our already corroded ammo and replacing the old lead slugs with new jacketed points.

and making sure our new system even if it uses old production molds in this trying time it's able to create a doctrine that withstands time and pressure.

if this sounds too schizo is because my consciousness is currently working on the background and i'm just writing shit for the sake of writing shit

Anyone ever notice how unfeminine most transwomen are in their demeanor and hobbies and etc.? I swear the average cis gay man is more feminine than the average transwoman by miles. Every transwoman I've ever met is into the most masculine and male-coded interests out there. Guns, mechas, engineering, combat sports, etc. And just their entire personality and demeanor are so much less feminine than the average cis gay man. What causes this?

Zionism makes no sense from a Christian stand point

Who created Christian Zionism? I have been studying the Bible recently and the topic and I cannot find anything in the New Testament that even hints at some future Jewish ethnic based kingdom. In fact zionism seems to contradict historic Christianity.

EDIÇÃO SINFONIA AMAZÔNICA
"Sinfonia Amazônica é o primeiro longa-metragem de animação da história do Brasil, lançado na década de 50. Foi animado inteiramente por Anélio Latini Filho, que dedicou cerca de cinco anos de trabalho para adaptar diversos relatos folclóricos da região norte em um filme apenas com a ajuda de alguns poucos colaboradores, entre eles o seu irmão Mário Latini."

Why Leftism is dangerous and not just stupid or annoying

This is an educational post aimed at Leftcoms only, so Leftists can just ignore it and go away.

Many Leftcoms think that Leftists are just stupid and misguided, and that eventually they can be "converted" via education or being shown to be wrong via real world events. This is an extremely misguided and dangerous thought.

Most Leftists are not stupid and misguided. Rather, they are intelligent Nationalists who maliciously, consciously and successfully divert anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist energies into generating support for whatever their favorite nation/ethnicity/ideology is.

Leftists are fundamentally pro-capitalist and pro-narionalist. If any real worker revolution or revolt occurs, leftists will arise to co-opt those groups and neutralize them and fold them back into their specific nationalist program and political economy.

Most importantly, if any real communist person or group attempts to prevent this co-option, leftists will kill, arrest or exile those communists.

Leftists, being the left wing of capital, should therefore not be understood as merely misguided or dumb, but they are an active and dangerous military threat to all communists, militant workers and proletarian revolutionaries.

If Leftcoms continue to follow the mental path of "haha Leftists are just dumb and they'll fall in line once reality hits" then they themselves will follow the same path as those communists who were slaughtered by Stalinists.

For a communist revolution to be succesful, there must be an armed struggle not just against the existing capitalists and reactionaries, but also against leftists as well.

Where is the best Latin American country to visit as an Amerikkkan?

(I guess this also applies to many non-Latin American countries in the Caribbean and the The Guianas but you get the point)
My parents were saying that this Christmas we should go on a vacation to Mexico, my dad actually once went to Mexico before and he didn't like it for some reason so why parents said that any warm country in the Americas could work. I was exited but also concerned because I know how in Hawaii the local people hate tourism because all of the Airbnbs and Resorts are owned by rich white guys on the mainland so tourism there is inherently exploitative, so I was wondering which countries are and aren't like that in Latin America.

MENACE

A great tactical turn based strategy game in early access. There's a free demo too. Jagged alliance vibes but in the future and with entire squads and vehicles instead of individual characters. I'm having a lot of fun, lots of customization and options, there's a "supply" system which limit the amount of what you can bring but a lot of flexibility in the builds, and some campaign wide mechanics and resources (trust with different factions, off map calls-in like missile strikes, manpower reserves) and some random event for flavor. At least 3-4 different enemies factions for now.

West Bloomfield Temple Israel attack

Stop calling this a false flag. The man who attacked this Zio gathering place only did so out of his justified anger over the murder of his family in Lebanon by the Zionist entity. Every and all Zios are NOT “innocent” and should never be mourned.

Realize that the left only shoots itself in the foot when they denounce legitimate acts of resistance as “false flags” and the people engaged in said resistance as “agent provocateurs.” The Years of Lead in Italy were successful for western imperialists largely because communists kept accusing other communists of being provocateurs, e.g. the Italian Communist Party claiming the Red Brigades were agents. When Greek anarchists occupied the Polytechnic in Athens in 1973, the Greek Communist Party denounced them as “CIA agents”, only for the Greek communists to claim credit for the occupations when students from the general student body took over. Likewise, during the George Floyd Uprising, Black activists who engaged in radical direct actions were accused of being agent provocateurs by white peace police. The problem is NEVER comrades who engage in violence aimed at oppressors but ALWAYS the people spreading lies about those direct actions being “false flags.” Learn this.

>The struggle that the Emir of Afghanistan is waging for the independence of Afghanistan is objectively a revolutionary struggle, despite the monarchist views of the Emir and his associates, for it weakens, disintegrates and undermines imperialism; whereas the struggle waged by such "desperate" democrats and "Socialists," "revolutionaries" and republicans as, for example, Kerensky and Tsereteli, Renaudel and Scheidemann, Chernov and Dan, Henderson and Clynes, during the imperialist war was a reactionary struggle, for its results was the embellishment, the strengthening, the victory, of imperialism.

>In Brazil there now reigns a semifascist regime that every revolutionary can only view with hatred. Let us assume, however, that on the morrow England enters into a military conflict with Brazil. I ask you on whose side of the conflict will the working class be? I will answer for myself personally—in this case I will be on the side of “fascist” Brazil against “democratic” Great Britain. Why? Because in the conflict between them it will not be a question of democracy or fascism. If England should be victorious, she will put another fascist in Rio de Janeiro and will place double chains on Brazil. If Brazil on the contrary should be victorious, it will give a mighty impulse to national and democratic consciousness of the country and will lead to the overthrow of the Vargas dictatorship.

FREE ERIK HOUDINI

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

Remember: No doomers. Uplift. Struggle."

Is all radfem literature like this?

This shit is some of the most ludicrous, hyperbolic grievance mongering I have ever read. There's interesting shit floating around in here, but it is drifting in a sea of "every man is a wife-beating rapist who caused all the world's problems." Even though the book is directly comparing Zionism and feminism and seems to advocate for a lady Israel, it's mostly just couched in whining about men. Dworkin doesn't even have the fucking stones to be a strong Zionist. She's one of these wishy-washy Zionists who thinks that Zionists and Palestinians can co-exist, and maybe one day Israeli and Palestinian women can come together and unite against their REAL enemy: men!

January 6th was the lamest false flag in American history

On January 5th-6th, 2021 members of the Proud Boys, Oafqueefers, BLM, Ferguson protesters, Black Hebrew Israelites, National Anarchists, 764/Comfags (Riley June Williams), "pink berets", National Anarchists, NSC-131, politicians, members of law enforcement and convicted felons and child molesters raided the White House to overturn a democratic election (who Trump later pardoned). This was the lamest turn of events since Charlottesville from the right. And it was so fucking obvious. Among their biggest PR stunts being the Pikeville, Kentucky rally in 2017, the Charlottesville, Virginia Unite the Right rally in 2017, the Boston Free Speech rally that came soon after it on the same week as Charlottesville where about a dozen non-racist demonstrators gave a speech under a gazebo while surrounded by 50,000 counterprotesters with like one guy wearing a "end white genocide" t-shirt, it was fake as fuck. Then Kyle Chapman's abortive "Say No To Marxism" rally in Berkeley, California that same month that got violently disrupted by Black Bloc protesters who weren't having none of that shit attacked a small group of supporters who arrived, which drew widesoread condemnation in the lying msm, then the Shelbyville White Lives Matter rally that was somehow an even bigger PR optics disaster than Charlottesville (at least UTR protesters had the nice tiki torch march the night before August 11th). Then in 2018 there was a Richard Spencer event at MSU that was such a trainwreck it fractured what was left of the alt-right at the time (along with that audio that came out of Richard Spencer, leaked by Milo Yiannopoulos in 2019 that oretty much ended what was left of his relevance and career). And now come nearly 3 years later and you have this shit. Can the right ever get worse than they already are? This is so cringe how do people even find this appealing?

Also [vid related] for archival purposes

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

The "Cassandra Nova" Guy

This is a bit of a pointless drama but I'd just like to reach out to my fellow queer comrades to not to take the "Cassandra Nova" guy seriously. (or if he drops his namefagging, you can easily identify him with his over-the-top hatred for 'heteroids' and whatnot.)

Anons at /latam/ have already exposed him, he is a Brazilian NEET with severe mental health problems whose only posts are ragebaits (such as the ones you see here and sometimes other provocations under the ancap flag) and samefags ("i'm not that gay misandrist anon but he is totally right!!"). He's been doing this kind of shit here non-stop for nearly 3 years, can you believe it?

On top of that, it's not like he is merely a "gay commie with a prejudice against straight guys"; he's not left-wing at all. His understanding of politics are pretty much one of a uneducated fascist. He regularly posts plain racist and auth-right stuff here and on 4chan. Just ignore and report him for ban evading (he's banned almost everyday but keeps evading).

Thanks for reading

"Communist" party
>Doesn't propose anything to fix the underlying issue of a decade long economic crisis
>Called people protesting after the murder of a 15 year old by a police officer "hood wearers," a greek pejorative for anarchists and/or activists
>When the New Democracy was on the verge of complete fascist collapse, the national television channels were changed and started transmitting from a private signal, susceptible to outside interference. When Syriza compared the channel to soviet-era programming and iconography, mentioning bolek and lolek, the official publication of the KKE, 902, immediately rebutted to defend the cartoon, throwing hands about how kids today watch the capitalist propaganda of…spongebob squarepants.
>Has consistently been perpetuating the myth that homosexuality and transgender identity are a bourgeois degeneracy, shifting back and forth between members between protecting their rights, or saying that "babies need a mom and dad!"
Soviet nostalgists have no place in modern politics and are actively detrimental to leftist ideals. They support the status quo and exist purely because they survived the greek civil war. They only get any sort of vote due to their history, they barely count as an opposition party.

Communist organizing in semi-conductor factories

This is a genuinely underrated area specifically for american communists to penetrate but it has to be done very carefully and clandestinely, but this has unexpected advantages and points of leverage for workers that basically no other industry has.

The semiconductor industry has historically been one of the most extreme in its anti-union behaivor. The industry is one of the most important sectors to the entire bourgeois order. Its a resource in the ongoing great power rivalry and its an essential component in the entire economy as well as being intertwined with the defense industry. A strike at a few semi fabs doesn't just stop production at those fabs, it ripples through the entire economy.

This is why all attempts at open organizing have been swiftly put down by management. Lenin's model of factory cells operating in a clandestine fashion has to be implemented.

These companies employ armies of consultants, lawyers, and HR departments to surveill and identify behavor that looks like unionizing to nip it in the bud, however its primarily focused on open and obvious signs, such as workers huddling together at weird times, circulation of cards, and openly talking about unions. These structures are useless against the factory cell. Think about it: how the hell would management catch a factory cell organized of people who have become close friends on the job, that meets once a week in a location off property outside of work hours and has other cells in other factories doing the same thing, and cell members dont know the people in cells in other factories besides one external contact. An HR karen is no match for lenin.

This sector also contains some very specific characteristics and advantages that should make a prime target for militant communist organizing

•Extremely important
as previously mentioned this sector sits at the commanding heights of the capitalist economy, intertwined with national security interests and economic activity over the whole economy

•Low-offshore risk
governments are fighting to keep these factories on shore at all costs and make more. If a strike happens companies cannot simply threaten to move offshore for several reasons. 1. the equipment is extremely expensive and not easy to move unlike other manufacturing, and 2. much of these factories are built off government subsidised handouts that cannot just be taken back. and 3. these factories take massive capital and time to build and are not as simple to offshore as other sectors. it would likely tae 5+ years to actually move off shore at best.

•Relatively low barrier for entry
most of these jobs essentially require a just a highschool degree or at most a comunity college certifcate making it easy to access for communists

•small reserve army of labor
theres a projected semiconductor 67,000 unfilled jobs by 2030 and the construction will certainly continue. This gives the workers more leverage and communists an easier time to actually get hired.

•no existing union buraecracy
this is an especially good one. You wont need to compete with some decrepit 100 year old union thats degenerated into a buraecracy for campaigning for democrats

plenty of sectors have some of these characteristsics but almost none have all of them.

Legal Vanguardism

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

The violence question: counter-revolutionary state violence

Let's stop ignoring the elephant in the room.
The most important question is THE violence question.
How do we prevent or beat counter-revolutionary state violence? We all know the only reason revolutions fail is because of state violence and terrorism. The state will not only kill you, but also brutally torture you and your family to destroy the movement.

Let's be realistic, we can't militarily beat 60.000 death squads, eh sorry "special forces". Guerrilla warfare is useless too. They will kill the population that supports you and it's too exhausting for the fighters living in the jungle.
Only way we can win is through the political arena while at the same time preventing reactionary violence. This is the question that must be answered.

The uncertain nature of transitions between modes of production

Transitions between modes of production are of an uncertain nature. They are not always brought about by revolution, reform, or planning, but sometimes by a combination of all 3, or by blind historical forces operating over several centuries.

The transition from primitive communism to slavery, and the transition from slavery to serfdom were neither brought about through the planning of the ruling class, nor through revolution, but through unplanned historical changes over several centuries. The notion that modes of production always (rather than merely sometimes) transform through deliberate revolution is ahistorical projection of the bourgeois revolutions forward in history. What history shows is that modes of production do exist and do change, but whether they change through revolution, reform, or in a totally unplanned way over a long period of time, is up to local material conditions.

Instead of abolishing the petty bourgeoisie, the petty bourgeoisie will simply be (knowingly or unknowingly, willingly or unwillingly, it does not matter) brought into the fold of monopoly capital, the same way peripheral nations were brought into the fold of imperialism. The total horizontal and vertical integration of capital is not complete, but I will give you a simple anecdote illustrating my point. I had a coworker ask ChatGPT what I thought was a naive question. He asked ChatGPT a question about the small business we worked out, and it knew way more than we possibly expected. It had hyper specialized knowledge on our practices and our ways of doing things. It wasn't necessarily doxxing workers, but it was creepy how much it knew. In the 20th century companies did everything they could to prevent "corporate espionage" and "intellectual property theft" but with LLMs that very process has essentially become legalized because it is useful to everyone. And the workers willingly participate in it. They paste their own company's source code into a monopoly's LLM just to speed up a bug fix. Well where does that lead? And btw I don't work at a software company. Chat GPT was answering questions about arcane manual labor procedures at my company… how did it know? Someone must have willingly given it that knowledge at some point to abridge some labor process for themselves. If all this development and accumulation is shattered due to climate change in WW3 where will that leave us? I have no idea. We are cursed to live in interesting times. And the tech becomes more sophisticated and self governing as the people themselves become more ignorant and less technically skilled… it is as if Arthur Clarke's rule about technology and magic is proving itself true not just through the sophistication of the tech itself, but through the dumbing down and hyper-narrowly-focused-specialization of the very people who are building it.

/ayyleavemealone/ Alien Abduction General

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

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

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

Might i have a lil fedposting, as a treat?

Would a vanguard party led revolution even work in the modern USA?

What i mean is with policy like contelpro, and with the feds just being able to track pretty much everyone that'd raise alarms through their technology as well as the technology of people associated with them due to the insane reach of the servalence state, how could a centralized organization like a revolutionary vanguard even do its job of leading and recruiting revolutionary forces whilst also building duel power and not be infiltrated and broken up from the inside?


Like theirs a reason that most active terrorist groups operating in the us have just started using cell structures and "leaderless resistance", basically being loosely related cells of at most a dozen people, but thats not really something us commies can do.


what do you think? Am i just being wrong, or do we need to come up with some other strategy for working in the imperial core?

Dialetical Materialism, and Organizational forms

Let us start off by saying, dialectical materialism is not a collection of quotations to be deployed like talismans. It is a method for grasping reality in its constant motion, its internal contradictions, its tendency to transform into its opposite. As Engels put it, dialectics is "the science of the general laws of motion and development of nature, human society, and thought." To think dialectically is to understand that every social form contains the seeds of its own negation, that what works in one epoch becomes fetter in the next, and that clinging to organizational templates perfected under dead conditions is not fidelity to Marxism, it is its opposite.

The central insight of historical materialism is that the mode of production conditions social life in its totality. But western production today is no longer confined to factories and fields alone, labor is more precarious, and the relation to commodity is often more apparent than the relation to production. On top of this, the state's in the west now produce surveillance at an industrial, high-tech private-public allegiance scale. The security apparatus employs more people than the entire automobile industry. If the forces of production and state repression have transformed, so too must the forces of revolutionary organization. This is not deviation it is proper materialism applied to pre revolutionary conditions.

Consider the actual conditions facing revolutionaries in the contemporary United States. The intelligence state operates with a budget exceeding seventy-five billion dollars and employs over two hundred thousand personnel across sixteen agencies, and this doesn't include all the private state-aligned actors and organizations. The post-9/11 era has dissolved the boundary between foreign and domestic surveillance, integrated private technology firms as deputized intelligence collectors, and normalized warrantless monitoring as administrative routine. COINTELPRO was not an aberration; it was a pilot program for something much larger, written up by the CIA.

The Tsarist Okhrona employed perhaps ten thousand people. The Stasi, at its peak, maintained one hundred thousand informants for a population of seventeen million. That's just to reference scale. The NSA collects metadata on every American. RICO act makes formal groups especially prone to heavy federal repression, if even one individual slips up, a RICO can be brought against leadership. The material conditions have changed. The organizational forms adequate to 1905, clandestine, centralized, built around professional revolutionaries, are not necessarily adequate to 2026. Lenin would understand this. That is why he organized one way under the Tsar and another after February 1917. He adapted because he was a dialectical materialist, not a Bolshevik iconographer.

Hamas (Al-Qassam/Gaza Strip, Al-Quds/West Bank), Hezbollah, Iran, ISIS, Türkiye, Sudan, Pakistan, Qatar, North Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Syria and Iraq are all furious at the US and/or Israel and the power dynamic is beginning to shift in favor of the East ever since October 7 and this 2026 war in Iran. All the while oil prices are skyrocketing to 2008 levels (which the 2008 financial crash was caused by the same thing - taxation and sanctions on Iranian imports). Iran refuses a ceasefire deal, a prolonged attritional conflict would favor Iran, Iran took some heavy hits in leadership but survived it and now the west is in trouble. Mojtaba Khamenei is the new ayatollah and the only remaining member of Khamenei's bloodline. He was wounded by survived. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad survived an assassination attempt but his bodyguards were killed instead. Hezbollah killed 2 IDF soldiers in an ATGM attack after they were lifting an already damaged Merkava (which have suffered heavy losses in the Gaza war), now food scarcity worldwide is gonna skyrocket due to increased supply chain blackmail from Iran, 6 US soldiers were killed at a training post in Kuwait on March 1st in a Shahed drone strike, a $1 billion interceptor radar was destroyed, making US radar and communications in the region go dark, this war is costing America $1 billion a day, over a trillion or tens of billions at least already, Congress is now asking the government for more funds on defense spending even after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was passed last year, which added $150 billion to the annual military spemding budget, Iran is using terrorism in Western countries (like that Austin, Texas nightclub shooting from that Senegalese immigrant Ndiago Diagne, a shooting at a JROTC base at a university in Virginia where an ISIS recruiter killed one, wounded two others, and now a Lebanese man who plowed his car into a Detroit synagogue and started firing - whose daughters were killed in an air strike by Israel in Lebanon). The whole world is getting fed up with the Jews again for the first time since WW2. We are starting to see that Hitler was right, even the communists who many Nazis defected to after the war. What are leftypol's thoughts on the collapse of a country who hasn't seen an economic surplus since 9/11 bat for a country whose last economic surplus was 20 years after that?

Help me choose a girl name for myself. I have some ideas for a few names already but i don’t know if any of them are good or not.

>claire

it sounds very elegant and dainty, which I like. But I’m worried it might be too much of a stereotypical transgirl name like Alice.

>Vivian

I think it sounds unique and cool while also sounding a bit elegant aswell. But maybe it’s too weird. I also don’t want people to think I named myself after Vivian Medrano (creator of hazbin hotel)

>Jessica

More common and sounds nice, but not as classy as the others

>Stormy

I think it sounds very cute but I’m worried it sounds too much like a pet name

>Pamilla

It’s basically the girl version of my cis name, so would probably be the easiest name for the people in my life to get used to calling me. Also shares a name with pamilla voorhese which is cool. But the name sounds too much like a grandma name for my tastes.

Any feedback on my name ideas or suggestions of your own would be greatly appreciated. I don’t want to accidentally name myself something stupid

Cockshott & the T

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

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

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

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

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

Dealing with Glowies, lessons from the past

The 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul provided a vivid demonstration of how even decentralized movements can successfully detect and neutralize infiltrators through collective practice. According to contemporaneous reporting, members of the RNC Welcoming Committee, an anarchist federation of anonymous affinity groups, systematically photographed law enforcement during confrontations and worked to memorize faces over the months.

This practice paid off concretely. At a rally in Mears Park, a protester recognized a man who looked like an anarchist or leftist, dark clothes, red flag, backpack, disheveled appearance, and realized she had photographed him days earlier during a police raid on the Welcoming Committee's headquarters. She spread word to other protesters, who confronted the man and his two associates and told them to leave the park. The men departed and entered an unmarked sedan whose license plate traced back to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office detective unit. Private investigators associated with the affinity groups were able to recover these plates.

Later the same day, protesters identified two additional men during a planned march, one singled out simply because he was wearing brand, new tennis shoes, a subtle marker of inexperience or incongruity with movement norms. Those men also left in an unmarked sedan.

Academic assessment of security culture during the RNC found it had "a mixed record". It succeeded in "frustrating shorter-term infiltrators operating at the movement's peripheries, but "generally failed to prevent longer-term infiltrators from gaining others' trust" . This distinction is crucial to understand. The men identified in Mears Park and the march were likely peripheral operatives which is shorter-term infiltrators whose behavior or appearance had not yet fully assimilated to movement norms. The deeper penetrations, the operatives who spent months building relationships and trust, remained undetected.

>>Detection Protocols, what the people can actually do


The RNC example illuminates several concrete practices that movements employ to detect infiltrators –

>>Documentation and Memory Work. Systematic photography of law enforcement during operations creates a visual database that can be referenced when unfamiliar faces appear in movement spaces. The protester who recognized the raid participant did so because she had committed faces to memory and could cross-reference against her documentation.


>>Attunement to Incongruity. The "brand-new tennis shoes" observation reflects a deeper practice, noticing when someone's presentation does not quite align with environmental norms. Infiltrators often reveal themselves through subtle mismatches, clothing that is too new, gear that is too clean, behaviors that are slightly off. As security culture literature often notes, this involves "inverting the gaze to inspect others' corporeality" learning to read bodies and presentations for signs of inauthenticity".


>>Collective Deliberation. Detection is not an individual act but a collective process. The protester who recognized the infiltrator did not act alone; she "spread the word to other protesters," enabling group assessment and collective response . This distributed vetting mechanism compensates for the absence of centralized trusted authority.


>>Graduated Trust. Movements implicitly operate on a spectrum of trust. Newcomers are granted access to public actions and open meetings but are not immediately entrusted with sensitive information or planning roles. Trust must be earned through demonstrated commitment, risk-sharing, and alignment with movement values over time . This graduated approach limits the damage that short-term infiltrators can inflict.

Support Your Troops

"My name is Malik Farrad Muhammad. I’m a black/Palestinian pansexual Muslim (yes, hella confusing). I’m an anarchist, antifascist, anti-racist abolitionist (yes, both cops and prisons) for my love of freedom! My first protest was in high school, a walkout staged after Treyvon Martin’s murder. From there, I never really got active again until “Bernie or Bust” and then, of course, the George Floyd uprising. I traveled the country and organized and fought and was ultimately kidnapped, ransomed and now held prisoner here at OSP.

I have a beautiful son, a beautiful wife and life partner, Jesse, who moved out here to Portland after my kidnapping by the feds, and a loving family back home in the Midwest. I’m also a veteran, I was a tanker in the army and no, I’m not proud that I was part of the murder machine, so don’t thank me for my service. I love music more than anything almost, am a guitarist and aspiring pianist, all genres. Not much else to say except that I’m a lover of freedom, equity and equality, and will fight to my last breath for it. Unlike those who may regret a thing they did to get convicted or those who tempered their actions for fear of the consequences, I regret nothing, if only not doing more before I was caught. I will live for the people and I’ll die for the people because I love the people, we who want freedom cannot rest till it comes.”

Why do you think the Western left will never succeed?

These are issues as to why I think the Western Left will never do anything or succeed at anything. It's not exhaustive, but I do ask why other people here critical of the Western Left, think the Western Left has failed and will continue to fail to enact any sort of change whatsoever?
>Most Leftists are pretty ideologically antisocial, arrogant, elitist, do not like normies (especially working class people) and look down on them.
>Vast majority of what the Left does is ingroup virtue signalling. Every Protest, every newspaper sold, every shouting slogan, every cancellation, all anti-imperialism, isn't really done for a real purpose but virtue signalling and just group activities
>Leftists are holier than thou in the most moronic ways possible, they refuse to use modern PR, modern marketing, modern public speaking skills, Frame Communist and Socialist ideals in ways that are actually appealing and don't sound like a 1917 Larp.
>Because modern Leftism is a alternative scene, rather than a political movement, being a normal person who is charismatic, or works out, or good looking, is actually frowned upon.
>Anti-Imperialism doesn't mean anything or have any goal yet is the raison detre of the modern left.
>Anti-Imperialism never works because the left refuses to actually do anything to put themselves into positions where they have power to do anything actually anti-imperialist. It's mostly just seething and pointing at elites saying "LOOK YOU'RE BAD HYPOCRITS" while they respond "who cares?".
>Too many "Anti-Imperialists" just devolve into vulgar edgy campism. Many also seriously hope the third will will just rise up and save them.
>Shit like mass immigration is only supported because a lot of leftists are genuinely racist against white people and are wildly oikophobic and want to see "white people" suffer out of teenage level spite against boring suburban upbringings. Another is purely just a naieve white saviour complex or orientalism combined with christcuck morality that more "oppressed" groups are more moral.
>Most modern Leftists positions are really driven by peer ingroup "empathy" pressure than Materialism.
>Shitlib TikTok/Tumbler narratives take precedence over Marxism every time. I've seen countless dedicated Marxists purged from orgs over the years for not adhering to new incoherent Tumblr woketard line.
>Young Socialists are genuinely retarded yet make up most of the activist base. If a Leftist is frankly, under 30, they most likely are going to be arrogant, refuse to listen to more experienced members as fuck and wrong about everything. Younger members almost always push towards mindless militancy that just turns off regular people.
>Socialists over 55 have mostly just given up on any real serious change and usually just treat Socialist orgs as their social book club.
>Anyone with a brain, good skills, PR skills etc will generally realize these people are a lost cause leave any Socialist org and go into actual staffing, PR, media careers etc around their late 20s. Same issue that the military has where intelligent people leave to greener pastures after 4-8 years leaving incompetents behind to run everything.
>The left refuses to accept it's tactics and strategy don't work, relies on copium to explain otherwise. Leftists are terrible at self-reflection and criticism when it comes to strategy. This is why so many leftist strategies have not changed or updated for a literal fucking century despite never working outside of a specific historical context.
Been part of the organised left since the early 2000s to Covid. These are a tip of the iceberg of the issues I repetedly saw with near every group, and a vast majority of the left I interacted with.

WEBCOMICS

Thread for talking about webcomics. Share your favs, discuss latest updates.

I recently discovered "basket of guts"
https://basketsofguts.thecomicseries.com/comics/1#content-start
A story about a lich that comes out of his crypt for world domination and find the world evolved and then quickly end on the run from a "modern" state security services.
Really liking it so far. Good mix of genres, starting from a standard fantasy world and instead of freezing it in time add societal and technomagical development. Also I find it pretty funny. Not everything translated yet sadly.

its on leftypol that I discovered Out Of Placers (apparently created by a furry artist, which explain the horniness)
https://www.valsalia.com/
Pretty interesting world building.

Finished since quite a while but at the time followed schlock mercenary. Goofy SF about a mercenary company.

On a more smutty side, I like alfie by incase.

For the non storyline webcomics, existential comics, oglaf and SMBC are my favs.

You should ground the utopia so the average layman can understand. Communism doesnt mean everyone getting a mansions made out of marble and gold i think.
It could be everyone getting a house, public services for their kids and 100k per year of disposable income in a place like the us. Ive done the math its possible. If income inequality were halved the bottom 20% would get 68k per year. Further distributed it could be 100k as well. 100k for moping floors or whatever kind of job as a baseline. Throw in automation and this reality is very grounded and not a pie in the sky.
The trade off is more government control and lack of possibility for becoming a millionare never mind a billionare. Its a fair trade off if you ask me and woukd lead to less resentment too.

Capitalism is Haram

I convinced a quite a big amount of Muslim friends and even Elder Muslim folks in my community that Capitalism is Haram with one simple argument: Usury is a sin under the the rule of "Riba" being Haram, literally meaning "infinite" or "excess" in Arabic, due to financial exploitation and taking advantage of the person.

Simple

>Infinite growth is a sin requires financial exploitation, and making money off of being idle

>Capitalism's main ethos is infinite profit extraction
>They connect the dots

This opens them up to other arguments like "Infinite growth is impossible on a planet with finite resources" and other things like excess, indulgence and things Capitalists encourage like gambling being a sin (Prediction markets are awful)

I then explain it's like pork, you can eat pork or drink alcohol if you need to if there is nothing else to eat or you need to numb pain under the Islamic law of Rukhsah (Exemptions out of health or other necessities) and we are forced to participate in it order to survive

This easily convinces a lot of Muslims, even ones I meet in the global south who are otherwise very conservative and even if I can't make them fully woke or whatever it's good to have people wake up to some injustice at least. Class interests come first

The main thing I'm asking is if anyone knows any similar works on Socialism from an Islamic perspective using this same logic or at least pre-modern Islamic works that meet the base principles of socialism and wants to discuss this further

"The electron is as inexhaustible as the atom."

https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1908/mec/five2.htm

In discussing the "new" (in 1908) physics, Lenin makes a profound philosophical prediction: "The electron is as inexhaustible as the atom." This suggests that nature is infinite in its depth, and human knowledge will always have new levels of reality to discover.

Lenin said

> The electron is as inexhaustible as the atom, nature is infinite, but it infinitely exists. And it is this sole categorical, this sole unconditional recognition of nature’s existence outside the mind and perception of man that distinguishes dialectical materialism from relativist agnosticism and idealism.


He said also

>The error of Machism in general, as of the Machian new physics, is that it ignores this basis of philosophical materialism and the distinction between metaphysical materialism and dialectical materialism. The recognition of immutable elements, “of the immutable substance of things,” and so forth, is not materialism, but metaphysical, i.e., anti-dialectical, materialism. That is why J. Dietzgen emphasised that the “subject-matter of science is endless,” that not only the in finite, but the “smallest atom” is immeasurable, unknowable to the end, inexhaustible, “for nature in all her parts has no beginning and no end

On "Treatlerites"

"Treatlers" don't exist, the amount of people that worship consuming commodities on a daily basis sand also consciously vote for right wing politicians just to keep this sort of behaviour is basically zero.

The first issue with the term is that it's just a lefty version of the Tedd Kaczinsky anti-consumption ideology, which in itself is an idealist and reactionary understanding of society.

Second, it implies that people vote for better economic conditions because the are "fascists", when the vast majority of votes are actually "punish" votes, where people vote for the opposition party to punish the party in power.

Third, it implies that fascism can be voted into power, and therefore, anti-fascisn can also be voted into power, which is utterly stupid, as communism can't arise from bourgeois electoralism

Basically anyone that uses the term should be automatically ignored.

You could never do this today

>Be Castro
>Get exiled to Mexico for trying to overthrow the US-backed dictator
>Gather 82 other people and cram them in a Yacht and sail it to Cuba to overthrow the government
>Succeed
That's what's kinda scary these days though, you can't do this anymore because if this were to happen now then the Yacht wound get spotted on some satellite and then get lasered by a Stalker Drone.
