In this thread we post the craziest (proven) CIA conspiracies and operations.

Why do people think Communism and belief in God is incompatible?
I see no reason why in an anarcho zone I can’t pray or believe in some deity. I think the problem is religions that compel people to do things in the name of the deity- why do so many communists take hostility if someone personally thinks god started the big bang and treat it as counterrevolutionary?

Leftcoms, how would you address Halloway?
>The tradition of ‘scientific Marxism’ is blind to the issue of fetishism. If fetishism is taken as a starting point, then the concept of science can only be negative, critical and self-critical. If social relations exist in the form of relations between things, it is impossible to say ‘I have knowledge of reality’, simply because the categories through which one apprehends reality are historically specific categories which are part of that reality. We can proceed only by criticising, by criticising the reality and the categories through which we apprehend that reality. Criticism inevitably means self-criticism.
>In the tradition of scientific Marxism, criticism does not play a central role. Certainly there is criticism in the sense of denunciation of the evils of capitalism; but there is no criticism in the sense of the genetic criticism of identity. To be blind to fetishism is to take fetishised categories at face value, to take fetishised categories without question into one’s own thought. Nowhere has this been more disastrous in the tradition of orthodox Marxism than in the assumption that the state could be seen as the centre point of social power. A Marxism that is blind to the question of fetishism is inevitably a fetishised Marxism.[11]
>The core of orthodox Marxism is the attempt to enlist certainty on our side. This attempt is fundamentally misconceived: certainty can only be on the other side, the side of domination. Our struggle is inherently and profoundly uncertain. This is so because certainty is conceivable only on the basis of the reification of social relations. It is possible to speak of the ‘laws of motion’ of society only to the extent that social relations take the form of relations between things.[12] Non-fetishised, self-determining social relations would not be law-bound. The understanding of capitalist society as being bound by laws is valid to the extent, but only to the extent, that relations between people really are thing-ified. If we argue that capitalism can be understood completely through the analysis of its laws of motion, then we say at the same time that social relations are completely fetishised. But if social relations are completely fetishised, how can we conceive of revolution? Revolutionary change cannot possibly be conceived as following a path of certainty, because certainty is the very negation of revolutionary change. Our struggle is a struggle against reification and therefore against certainty.
>The great attraction of orthodox Marxism remains its simplicity. It provided an answer to the revolutionary dilemma: a wrong answer, but at least it was an answer. It guided the revolutionary movement to great conquests that, in the end of the day, were not conquests at all, but dreadful defeats. If, however, we abandon the comforting certainties of orthodoxy, what are we left with? Is our scream not then reduced to the childishly naïve and self-deceptive appeal to the idea of justice, do we not return, as Luxemburg mockingly warned, ‘to that lamentable Rosinante on which the Don Quixotes of history have galloped towards the great reform of the earth, always to come home with their eyes blackened'? No, we do not. We return, rather, to the concept of revolution as a question, not as an answer.

i was dealing with a recent hire who was like this, and one day i noticed that she was burning through rolls of paper towels at several times the rate of any other worker wadding up huge balls of paper towels and wiping stuff down and throwing it away and grabbing another, so i kind of pulled her aside so as not to embarrass her and explained to her how to take one paper towel and fold it twice to make four surfaces and use one surface until it gets dirty, then use another, etc. she became indignant and said "sweetie, i've been cleaning up after four kids for 20 years i know how to use a paper towel." i told her, "first of all, i'm trying to help you, i'm trying to show you how to do the job right, i'm trying to make your job easier. second, this is work, this isn't your house, and you are a brand new employee here. don't talk to me or anyone else here that way. don't call me 'sweetie' and don't get an attitude with me. you do it again, you're gone. do you understand?" she started crying. she cried about it for the rest of the day and then the next day she never showed up for work, no call no show. someone had to come in and pull a double to cover for her. and i didn't even get a chance to confront her about all the other shit she was doing wrong.
i felt guilty about it, which makes me even more annoyed when i really think about it because i shouldn't feel guilty just for expecting a perfectly healthy able-bodied adult to listen and follow basic directions and not behave like an entitled spoiled brat at work. i understand that your hero donald trump betrayed you and destroyed the economy and your security and i understand how humiliating it must feel to be a suburban middle-class retiree for years and then suddenly be reduced to the lowly task of wiping down tables and ringing up customers, but you know what? too bad.
middle-class retirees re-entering the workforce
they're like the worst employees you could ever imagine, worse than any apathetic stoned teenager because at least the teenager doesn't have delusions of seniority or experience or a complete inability to accept criticism or admit to making a mistake, at least they can be trained. but the boomers and karens are unreformable, they complain and exude indignation and misery out of every orifice and destroy employee morale, they do things the wrong way and they get belligerent and defensive when you try to show them how to do them the right way, they get irritated with busy shifts and lines and impatient customers and they show their irritation very publicly, they gossip about co-workers and discuss politics and religion and create drama, they speak condescendingly to co-workers and customers and even managers, it's unbelievable. it's like a paroled convict who was in prison for decades and has no idea how to re-enter normal society. and when you are forced to finally reprimand them, they have a fucking emotional breakdown.i was dealing with a recent hire who was like this, and one day i noticed that she was burning through rolls of paper towels at several times the rate of any other worker wadding up huge balls of paper towels and wiping stuff down and throwing it away and grabbing another, so i kind of pulled her aside so as not to embarrass her and explained to her how to take one paper towel and fold it twice to make four surfaces and use one surface until it gets dirty, then use another, etc. she became indignant and said "sweetie, i've been cleaning up after four kids for 20 years i know how to use a paper towel." i told her, "first of all, i'm trying to help you, i'm trying to show you how to do the job right, i'm trying to make your job easier. second, this is work, this isn't your house, and you are a brand new employee here. don't talk to me or anyone else here that way. don't call me 'sweetie' and don't get an attitude with me. you do it again, you're gone. do you understand?" she started crying. she cried about it for the rest of the day and then the next day she never showed up for work, no call no show. someone had to come in and pull a double to cover for her. and i didn't even get a chance to confront her about all the other shit she was doing wrong.

shut the fuck up. almost nobody supports anything. what do people mean when they say support? cheerleading usually. oh the heckin ziggers, they support cheerlead putlerino. oh the heckin succdems they support cheerlead mayor zogran mizrahi. oh the heckin this. oh the heckin that
you know what real support is? guns. ammo. medkits. your actual body thrown into a battle. your money. your time. your labor. your life. your resources. your safety. if you aren't willing to sacrifice those things it's not real SVPPQRT. most of you saars will never SVPPQRT the things you claim to
<ummm you first
I never claimed to SVPPQRT anything. i know i'm a useless windbag. a willing and gleeful kkkollaborator. i know the real gigachad NKVD trvletariat will line me up against the wall and clap my cheeks with boolets. but you know what? that day might as well be infinitely in the future. because nunna you nyghas know where the swamp is. nunna you nyghas have seen the carnage of 1917. nunna you nyghas is willin to don teh budenovka, get in the trench, saw off the limb of your gangrenous comrade, pull the bullet out of your own stomach, man the gatling gun on the backa da horsedrawn tachanka cart. nunna you nyghas is willing to fight /pol/chak or denikkkin.
prove me wrong. put down the uno reverse card.

Mamdani was elected specifically to fight against the Zionist Lobby and yet he’s show MULTIPLE TIMES he’s a full-blown Zio himself. He sells out to Jewish feelings over Palestinian resistance every time he can. He quotes the satanic Talmud which calls for Jews to enslave and oppress “goyim” in order to appease Zionists. Then he has the NYPD arrest hundreds of anti-Zionist protesters. Now he attends a “memorial” lead by an “Israeli” hasbara group to memorialize 1200 Zionist settlers killed during the greatest act of anti-colonial resistance in modern history. If Ziohran was truly principled he would have unequivocally stated that “Israelis” have no right to life given that every single one serves in the army and that Hamas and the PFLP have a right to resist.
Fuck this man.

got to sign some documents, they took my ID and i paid for the tests, a while in i got called for getting my blood drawn, the usual at this point; they got 2 tubes of blood and had me in for some questions regarding my medical background, after that i was taken to the "sample room" which was basically like a sink, a chair and a TV.
so i did some hand washing and such and i had downloaded a bunch of stuff in my phone yesterday, the whole time feeling like i'd just burst and ruin the 3-5 days abstinence recommended.
but i had already washed my hands and i don't think washing my phone be viable + i'd have to hold my phone as well as the sample cup and everything?
so i just used the TV with the USB which was kinda slow so i just kinda did a faproulette with it and actually seeing the sample size i got scared it'd be too small but it was just about 0.2ml short according to the doctors; besides that the sample was very good and i'll be able to freeze from 2 to 4 vials with a doctor's recommendation and go back on estrogen hopefully by next month.
overall everything is going fine which is scary because whenever things are going fine i get this feeling of calm before the storm.
Freezing sperm
I had to wake up today at 6:00 AM and got ready to get to the clinic, pretty nice but i felt forced to look like i didn't got there from the ghetto…got to sign some documents, they took my ID and i paid for the tests, a while in i got called for getting my blood drawn, the usual at this point; they got 2 tubes of blood and had me in for some questions regarding my medical background, after that i was taken to the "sample room" which was basically like a sink, a chair and a TV.

Archery: Useful or Wasteful?
I live in a country without access to firearms or crossbows, so I have taken up archery. Pictured is my 30lb composite bow. I shoot up to 70lb. Is archery just a leisure sport or can it be useful?

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

I really hate to be a doomer or use my fee-fees for opinions but all the drama on twitter, all the bullshit i see on the internet or irl is getting to me
I spent a bit reading up on people's opinions, on some historical massacres, the genocides in sudan, palestine, the cultural revolution and the blood spilled there, the horrible crimes committed in the name of capital or communism or liberation or fascism and I think I understand a bit more about people now.
My dad and I often argue about one thing or another - and i love the man, but he is stubborn and old - and one of those arguments was about empathy. I argued that it is intrinsic, and not just a learned behavior. He argued against it, and now I think he was right
People dont *really* care about achieving a political goal (tho some do). What they care about is justifying their behavior. And most people are crude, violent apes, who behave accordingly. In every age people thought they were the enlightened Modern Man - free of the barbarity of the past. They thought that as they murdered their neighbours, raped children and whatever. So many people just want a group they can hate - whether its brown people, trans people, jews, women, atheists, muslims. Anyone who isnt you, basically.
Doesnt matter which political belief, doesnt matter who or what you are, doesnt matter where or when you live. Most people just want an US and a THEM, and the more of THEM that are subject to violence the better.
How can i begin believing in humanity again when hate mobs kill transhumanists like me, when soldiers murder, steal and rape all over the globe, when people all around the world justify the deaths of innocent people because of how or where they were born?
Why is it so hard for people to see others as people?
nature of belief
Recently I've been thinking about why people believe in things, why they act or think in one way or the other. I am now leaning towards "people believe in X or Y to justify killing people".I really hate to be a doomer or use my fee-fees for opinions but all the drama on twitter, all the bullshit i see on the internet or irl is getting to me

A major problem I've been noticing through the years is that nobody fucking understands what dialectical materialism actually is. This book is entirely about explaining dialectical materialism.
Of course, it speaks of the philosophies that come before it but only to explain dialectical materialism itself (this is by itself a dialectical process, btw)
Read this shit and spread it!

laut marxismus: NEETS = LUMPENPROLETARIAT = NICHT-ARBEITER
aber neets verbringen einen erheblichen teil im internet, auf den großen corpo plattformen. viele stunden. die bloße nutzung dieser plattformen generiert profit für die plattformen. die user trainieren algorithmen usw. aber auch hier: user schreiben posts die für KI training gescrapt werden. das heißt, neets sind objektiv arbeiter aber sie bekommen keinen lohn. SIE ARBEITEN UND IHRE ARBEIT WIRD AUSGEBEUTET VON DEN KAPITALISTEN.
es ist eine komplett neue arbeiter klasse entstanden und marxisten ignorieren das einfach??

Do you get massive changes and is it better or worse after? Does the way you feel and express your emotions change?
What is the difference in sex drives?
For those who took treatments to transition in either direction, how did the following change? What differences did you notice?- Sex drive
- Desire
- Emotions, feelings, intensity
- Mood and concentration

Those folks are actually every single reason why I hate the West as a Pole and I don't want to have anything in common with it. I'm risking being called a Russian onuca with this attitude. But I prefer my own happiness than being constantly guilt-tripped by the Western powers for the crimes we the Polish people have never committed. I used to be philosemitic, because I was taught like that at school, forced to this or else I would face the consequences of "lawlessness", now I think that they don't like us.
During PRL at least there wasn't that craziness for Zionist America like now.
Why do Israeli Jews hate Poland so much? (real long answers please, no derailing)
Not only Israeli Jews, I noticed Zionists living in a lot of countries antagonizing Poland and Poles as well. Just because Poland talks about being victimized by Nazi Germany, Ukrainian UPA, Russian Soviets, Zionists always seem to want to suppress this knowledge, even about the existence of KL Warschau (which existed in my opinion). Jews want us not to have great positions in this society, they would degrade us into criminal status, using DARVO technique as well. What motivates them to be extremely hostile against Poland like that? I'm even leftist, I believe in women's rights and they hate me for being Polish. I wonder why. How is Gaza, I'm asking right now? Why aren't those people given any chance? So many questions at once. I have an impression that antipolonism is even promoted on social media and Tucker Carlson blamed us for the WWII as well. I think Putin is a Zionist pig as well and Russia is controlled by Israelis. Same with Ukraine, but they are more Nazi. Any explanation why does it happen to Poland? We are bombarded with Polish jokes as well and Polish sense of humor is interpret as a legit threat by Israeli-controlled Westerners. Our country is being a scapegoat and Westerners are told "you will end up like Poland if you won't be democratiĉ". Westies ofc are "allies" to us, my ass. Some of you wish upon us war against Russia, too.Those folks are actually every single reason why I hate the West as a Pole and I don't want to have anything in common with it.

Let's see if you agree with me, people.
I've come to the conclusion that race, gender and sexuality, in this order, are core identities in humanity and many others if not exactly derived, are strictly related to it.
Origin/nationality, culture and social class are REALLY important but have a social, less inherent condition to these more physical, intrinsic qualities I listed.
A working person will always have a race, gender and sexuality, this unifies everyone but also divides people, and a corporeal human being will always make part of a social class depending on his or her place in society.
Left and right are the two main political divisions, from which all others are related somehow. It has to do with progress, equality vs. hierarchy, property, economic intervention and societal roles in general.
Furthermore: politics, science, religion, art and philosophy are the main social and cultural expressions of humanity. These are the ways we organize, understand and express our existence in reality.
Economics is important, but it is more like the "matrix" where things happen.
All these things are related in a complex, conflictuous, changing and multipolar/multidimensional reality.
We know we are all one in some sense, but separated individually still being more or less part of the whole in a way, fighting for social issues and material needs.
Not sure what I am talking about anymore.
The fact is, I don't see material reality separated from social constructs, they always interact amd it is hard to determine like a perfect map of humanity or society.
This is more or less how I see the world.
How you guys think a marxist overview about my vision would be? I understand some marxism, but I am not an orthodox person, I think we should come up with better and more complex explanations without losing grip of the essentials, if you understand me.
Picture slightly unrelated.

Why do some people seem to believe that everyone is innately bisexual? I've seen this claim every now and then online, and apparently some prominent bisexuals (e.g. Gore Vidal, Billie Joe Armstrong) believe(d) it. I've even heard it twice IRL; the second time, a lesbian acquaintance of mine said something along the lines of "I'm gay enough that I know straight people aren't lying about being straight", which I concurred with in my head (although I said nothing). Personally, I'm a gay guy, or at least that's what I call myself, but there have been a few rare instances where I briefly wondered whether I actually am attracted to women, only minimally and/or while repressing it, and although I have always ultimately concluded that I am just gay, it does make me think about the idea that everyone is actually just at some point or another on a spectrum of bisexuality. That being said, it still seems highly improbable to me. What are your thoughts?

If Marxism were an objective, scientific theory, then any fat autistic person should be able to develop it. Why did Engels specifically financially support and commission Marx to develop the theory of scientific socialism when there were very likely far more competent developers? These more competent developers had no financial incentive to invest the effort in developing a theory of scientific socialism. And now we're stuck with Marx's mediocre work when we could have something much better.

PAUL COCKSHOTT EXPELLED FROM THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN FOR "ANTISEMITISM" AMONG OTHER THINGS
Quote:
The basis for this seems to have been that I retweeted commentary by Craig Murray and David Miller about the arson that was committed against a group of ambulances in London that belonged to a Jewish community charity. As readers may recall, the media and the Government immediately described the arson as evidence of growing antisemitism and suggested that it was probably part of a conspiracy directed by the Iranian Government. Security Minister Dan Jarvis told Parliament: “The House will be aware that the police are treating this arson attack as an antisemitic hate crime.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer described it as: “a horrific antisemitic attack”. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood referred to it as an: “Iranian-linked firebomb attack” and an “abhorrent crime”. By July the Government’s language became considerably stronger. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper announced sanctions on an Iran-linked group and stated that the organisation had: “publicly claimed responsibility” for attacks including “the antisemitic arson attack on four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green in March” The same statement further asserted: “members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force … almost certainly directed IMCR attacks across Europe.” You may recall that clause 15 of the CP’s Social Media Protocol states that members should not promote antisemitic conspiracy theories or conspiracy theories based on unverifiable claims. It is evident that a conspiracy took place because, in law, a conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a criminal offence. Arson is a crime, and three people were filmed setting fire to the vehicles. The existence of a conspiracy is therefore not unverifiable. What remained unverified was any claim about the perpetrators’ motivation, organisation, or links to a specific foreign government. At the time, responsibility for the attack remained a matter of public dispute. Government ministers advanced one interpretation of the evidence. Craig Murray advanced another. Reposting a journalist who questions a government interpretation of events is not the same thing as promoting antisemitism. The commentary I retweeted by Craig Murray included links to an article he had published casting serious doubt upon the government’s version of what had happened. The social media rules do not prohibit communists from drawing attention to articles by journalists that question the positions taken by His Majesty’s Government. Whether the conspiracy theory promoted by the Home Secretary is correct is a matter of legitimate public debate. The panel asserted that certain reposted material constituted antisemitism. This assertion is not supported by evidence and is inconsistent with established legal standards. Another repost concerned commentary by Professor David Miller. The panel treated Miller’s statement as inherently antisemitic. Professor Miller had been dismissed by the University of Bristol following allegations made by several organisations regarded as sympathetic to Israel. Two independent investigations reportedly concluded that Miller had no case to answer on allegations of antisemitism. The Employment Tribunal subsequently ruled that his anti-Zionist beliefs were protected under the Equality Act. The investigatory panel nevertheless treated quotations from Miller as self-evidently antisemitic. In Miller v University of Bristol (Employment Tribunal, 2023), the Tribunal held: Anti‑Zionism is a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010. Criticism of Zionism, Zionist organisations, or the political influence of Zionist groups is not antisemitism. Miller’s anti‑Zionist arguments were rational, coherent, and lawful. Disciplinary action based on anti‑Zionist political speech is unlawful. It follows that reposting legally protected political speech cannot in itself constitute antisemitism; nor can reposting legally protected anti-Zionist political speech in itself constitute misconduct. The panel appears to have given credence to allegations against Professor Miller that were subsequently found, through repeated investigatory processes, to be unfounded. It then transferred the unjustified taint associated with his writings to me for quoting him.

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

Examples would be unproven conspiracy theories (eg flat earth), counter-productive diet advice (eg raw milk), or even believing common myths.
I think all humans have a tendency towards irrationality and in order to avoid magical thinking you must have self-awareness. The kind of self-awareness that makes you constantly question yourself and your beliefs and seek out counter-arguments out of your own volition. This is the most important part.
Every single bad idea that sticks around despite being disproved relies on this thought process to become immortal. I'll use a creationist as an example. Here's the sample thought process.
>The bible is true
>Evolution must be false
>"ChatGPT give me arguments against evolution"
This hypothetical person starts off with a conclusion and researches backwards in order to justify it. When you're using this lens to form an argument you will never find the truth no matter how much evidence you are shown.
This is basically just a drawn out way of saying the average person is insanely stupid. How do we re-educate the masses?
"Magical thinking" is the number 1 problem in the world
When using material analysis the contradictions of capital become obvious. Anyone who is grounded in reality can understand the problem. The unfortunate part however is that very few people are actually living in reality. The vast majority have "magical thinking", this commonly manifests in religious delusions but it can take on many other forms.Examples would be unproven conspiracy theories (eg flat earth), counter-productive diet advice (eg raw milk), or even believing common myths.

To date, at least 74,243 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel, which killed at least 1,139 people. At least 1,460 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the October 11, 2025 ceasefire went into effect as Israel has continued to expand its area of control. “The bottom line is that under both the Biden administration and the Trump administration, the US has continued to provide unconditional support for Israel, both in terms of finances, arms transfers and other forms, such as diplomatic support,” according to former Department of State official Josh Paul, who now runs A New Policy lobbying firm.

Turkey to deploy troops and air defence systems to Saudi Arabia amid Houthi attacks
Two Turkish officials familiar with Ankara's plans told MEE that Turkey had maintained technical teams, air defence systems and electronic warfare equipment in the kingdom since last year to protect critical infrastructure, including energy facilities. One senior Turkish official said Ankara would send additional equipment, technicians, emergency response teams and accompanying combat forces. The official said a 2010 military training agreement between Saudi Arabia and Turkey allows Ankara to deploy limited forces to the kingdom for technical purposes. Further deployments, however, would require parliamentary authorisation under the Turkish constitution.

Lula campaign scrambles to rebrand before Brazil runoff
At the meeting, Lula pushed what is being dubbed internally the "fear strategy" to remind voters of the risks a Bolsonaro presidency he says would pose to popular social benefits. People close to the campaign say Lula blames the messaging for failing to reach enough young people and women. Some party figures point to Lula's social communications minister, Sidonio Palmeira, whose business partner Raul Rebelo runs the campaign's messaging, for pushing less accessible themes like sovereignty and critical minerals. One TV campaign advert was devoted entirely to rare earths.

I'm 29 and live with my 68yo mother in a 25m rented apartment. I also take care of three kittens. Both me and my mother have serious health issues that make it impossible for us to work. My mother receives disability benefits in Greece but I was assessed at 60%(you need 67%) and I don't get shit. Currently trying to appeal this.
Because of this, we live in extreme poverty. For more than half of this month we’ve basically been surviving on plain pasta with sauce.
I'm asking for a very small donation so we can finally order a couple of meals and eat something different for the next few days. Food in Greece is relatively cheap so only a small tip will suffice.
I understand people might be skeptical but I can provide proof about our living conditions and also post the food ordered. If someone is from Greece, they can order themselves for us if they want.
If anyone reads this and wants to help, it will be greatly appreciated.

Hungry and in a fucked up situation
I'm ashamed to post this but push came to shove and my situation is desperate. I wanted to give me and my mother a bit of happiness.I'm 29 and live with my 68yo mother in a 25m rented apartment. I also take care of three kittens. Both me and my mother have serious health issues that make it impossible for us to work. My mother receives disability benefits in Greece but I was assessed at 60%(you need 67%) and I don't get shit. Currently trying to appeal this.

A major problem I've been noticing through the years is that nobody fucking understands what dialectical materialism actually is. This book is entirely about explaining dialectical materialism.
Of course, it speaks of the philosophies that come before it but only to explain dialectical materialism itself (this is by itself a dialectical process, btw)
Read this shit and spread it!

The Chinese question is: how does a comfy non-imperialist nation transform itself into a global socialist model that can be reproduced and adopted by the rest of the world, without either reproducing the aggressive and counter-productive policies of the USSR or appearing toothless, while resolving the contradictions of the so-called first world FOR THEM and liberating them from capitalist domination, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?
<A thread for the harmonious discussion related to the saviour of socialism, the uplifter of nations, the king of cooperation, the soviet of SOVL, the enjoyer of empathy, the ally of Africa, the demigod of development, the bureaucracy for banter, the prince of ping pong, the lobotomizer of labour aristocracy, the protector against proxy wars, the sponsor of sophisticated sciences and culture, the guarantor of gommunism, the Proletarian Dictatorship of Chynah™.

This sudden explosion in hyper-reactionary evangelism in Latin America (even more reactionary than Brazilian integralism) seems not entirely organic. Liberation theology was always a thorn in the side of the US aspirations on the continent, and none of the communist leaders in Latin America was an atheist (I am not sure about Che). Countering this with evangelical influence is something the CIA has tried for a long time, but this time a lot of the money these communities seem to receive comes from private American Christian think tanks.
I live in Germany and the liberal party (FDP) here has opened some "liberal house" near the train station - on Sunday, I noticed, it is rented out to a Brazilian pentacostal evangelist community, so it seems that there is an international network behind it as well.
One of the hallmarks is their ultra-zionism, which makes sense, as a lot of Latin American governments used to support Palestine, even the right-wing Catholic ones. Guatemala was hit especially hard, and the indigenous there already survived an US-backed genocide.
Take the Brazilian football team, they used to be entirely Catholic when they won their last World Cup in 2002. Now it's dominated by evangelicals, who also appear as "Christian incluencers" off the pitch, and they all support Bolsonaro. Same in Colombia.

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.

English needs spelling and conjugation overhaul so badly
Overhaul English NAO!!!
>Simplified Chinese was officially introduced by the government of the People's Republic of China in the 1950s as part of a broader effort to increase literacy and modernize the country. The reform reduced the number of strokes in many commonly used characters and standardized certain character forms, making them easier and faster to learn and write. Although the government promoted the reform, it drew on simplification practices and proposals that had existed for centuries. The primary goal was to help expand education and enable more people, especially those with limited access to schooling, to become literate. Simplified Chinese is now the standard writing system in China and Singapore, while Traditional Chinese remains in use in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.English needs spelling and conjugation overhaul so badly

The structure of "family", which stems from monogamy is also a putrid system. Children are left to the mercy of their parents, who can abuse them all they want with no repercussion (parents essentially own their kids in a literal slave way) and any rejection to this system is seen as unforgivable. Seeing people as more worthy of your time, love or attention simply because they are related by blood to you is a completely anti-human mindset. All working people of humanity must unite in one big family.
In a communist society all work is collectivized, his includes childcare. There is absolutely no reason to leave such an important job in the hands of just two people (sometimes just one), it must be done by the entire community. There would also be trained specialists who work full time on nursing children.
I don't understand why many self-proclaimed communists have a problem with this. No, you do not own your offspring just because you birthed it. Much less if you just fertilized the egg of the person who did. They are a human being with their own autonomy.
This is the biggest obstacle to abolishing monogamy. Once people (specially women) are free from the burden of exclusively raising children and looking for a provider, they will finally enjoy a free sexual life.
The only real downside of being non-monogamous is it increases the risk of STDs, but what increases the risk even more is having poor hygene and not using preventive measures. And if humanity erradicated smallpox and polio, so can we erradicate STDs.
Speaking of sexual life, heteronormativity and dare I say heterosexuality in the first place is also a product of patriarchy, and I have reason to believe most if not all people would be bisexual if it wasn't for religious brainwashing and peer pressure. Men are anatomically built to enjoy taking stuff up their butt, the only reason most men don't enjoy gay sex is because they think it's immoral. Having intimacy with multople people regardless of gender strengthens bonds between members of a community Ancient humans were probably having tons of gay and lesbian sex with no one to shame them for it. Human beings are beautiful regardless of gender, and without the taboo that comes with it most people would be fucking men and women alike (of course there would still be people who don't like having sex at all, and that's okay, but refusing to be intimate with someone just because they are a certain sex is the result of religious brainwashing).
If you oppose sexual liberation and the abolition of family, you are a reactionary.
Monogamy and heterosexuality are inherently reactionary
Monogamy is a construct created by patriarchy to impose control on and basically own other people. Be reminded that not so long ago, women were considered their parents or husbands' property in the literal sense, and the way most men act regarding their girlfriends/wives is still extremely possessive to this day. You aren't allowed to love other people. The way the dating world operates in the modern day is out of control in the most part thanks to this.The structure of "family", which stems from monogamy is also a putrid system. Children are left to the mercy of their parents, who can abuse them all they want with no repercussion (parents essentially own their kids in a literal slave way) and any rejection to this system is seen as unforgivable.

<TWO SOURCE COSMOGONY: The One was and was-not, combined, and desired to separate the was-not from the was. So it generated a diploid sac which contained, like auyghshell, a pair of twins, each an androgyny, spinning in opposite directions (the Yin and Yang of Taoism, with the One as the Tao). The plan of the One was that both twins would emerge into being (was-ness) simultaneously; however, motivated by a desire to be (which the One implanted in both twins), the counter-clockwise twin broke through the sac and separated prematurely; i.e. before full term. This was the dark or Yin twin. Therefore it was defective. At full term the wiser twin emerged. Each twin formed a unitary entelechy, a single living organism made of psyche and soma, still rotating in opposite directions to each other. The full term twin, called Form I by Parmenides, advanced correctly through its growth stages, but the prematurely born twin, called Form II, languished.
<The next step in the One's plan was that the Two would become the Many, through their dialetic interaction. From them as hyperuniverses they projected a hologram-like interface, which is the pluriform universe we creatures inhabit. The two sources were to intermingle equally in maintaining our universe, but Form II continued to languish toward illness, madness and disorder. These aspects she projected into our universe.
<It was the One's purpose for our hologramatic universe to serve as a teaching instrument by which a variety of new lives advanced until ultimately they would be isomorphic with the One. However, the decaying condition of hyperuniverse II introduced malfactors which damaged our hologramatic universe. This is the origin of entropy, undeserved suffering, chaos and death, as well as the Empire, the Black Iron Prison; in essence, the aborting of the proper health and growth of the life forms within the hologramatic universe. Also, the teaching function was grossly impaired, since only the signal from the hyperuniverse I was information-rich; that form II had become noise.
<The psyche of hyperuniverse I sent a micro-form of itself into hyperuniverse II to attempt to heal it. The micro-form was apparent in our hologramatic universe as Jesus Christ. However, hyperuniverse II, being deranged, at once tormented, humiliated, rejected and finally killed the micro-form of the healing psyche of her healthy twin. After that, hyperuniverse II continued to decay into blind, mechanical, purposeless causal processes. It then became the task of Christ (more properly the Holy Spirit) to either rescue the life forms in the hologramatic universe, or abolish all influences on it emanating from II. Approaching its task with caution, it prepared to kill the deranged twin, since she cannot be healed; i.e. she will not allow herself to be healed because she does not not understand that she is sick. This illness and madness pervades us and makes us idiots living in private, unreal worlds. The original plan of the One can only be realized now by the division of hyperuniverse I into two healthy hyperuniverses, which will transform the hologramatic universe into the successfull teaching machine it was designed to be. We will experience this as the 'Kingdom of God.'
<Within time, hyperuniverse II remains alive: 'The Empire never ended.' But in eternity, where the hyperuniverses exist, she has been killed – of necessity – by the healthy twin of hyperuniverse I, who is our champion. The One grieves for this death, since the One loved both twins; therefore the information of the Mind consists of a tragic tale of the death of a woman, the undertones of which generate anguish into all the creatures of the hologrammatic universe without their knowing why. This grief will depart when the healthy twin undergoes mitosis and the 'Kingdom of God' arrives. The machinery for this transformation – the procession within time from the Age of Iron to the Age of Gold – is at work now; in eternity it is already accomplished.

Brazil's Lula weighs VP Alckmin as next finance minister to woo centrist voters
Alckmin, a veteran centrist, unsuccessfully challenged Lula for the presidency in 2006 and has served two terms as governor of Sao Paulo. He also ran Lula's Development, Industry and Trade Ministry until earlier this year, making him a key interlocutor with Washington since the US imposed sweeping tariffs on Brazilian goods. Alckmin is widely considered a moderating force in Lula's government, with strong ties to the business community, although critics say his influence has been overshadowed in Lula's current term by policies widely seen as tilting to the left.

He added that Niger’s Prime Minister, Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine, had been visiting Algeria and returned home at night just before the mutiny. “For obvious reasons, this is a provocation against us … and I too will send planes and we’ll meet head-on,” Tebboune said. He did not specify who he meant when he said some had gone too far, or whether he was referring to internal or external actors.

As soon as the latest conflict flared in Yemen, child soldiers resurfaced alongside reciprocal accusations by warring parties over recruiting children and deploying them to the front lines. Neither side officially acknowledges recruiting minors; however, the United Nations, media outlets and human rights reports have confirmed that both parties engage in the practice. A March 2025 report by the UN secretary-general on children and armed conflict documented 564 cases of child recruitment and use in Yemen between 2021 and 2023.

The alliance “will immediately demand clarity from the leadership and parliamentary group of GPEW, to understand the official party policy of GPEW, how they position themselves towards the self-determination of Israelis and Jews as well as the protection of Jewish people and members in the party”, it said in a statement.

Algeria sent fighter jets to Niger to thwart ‘coup attempt’, president says
Tebboune said that the warplanes were sent because some parties had “gone too far”. He added that Niger’s Prime Minister, Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine, had been visiting Algeria and returned home at night just before the mutiny. “For obvious reasons, this is a provocation against us … and I too will send planes and we’ll meet head-on,” Tebboune said. He did not specify who he meant when he said some had gone too far, or whether he was referring to internal or external actors.

Yemen's child soldiers: How poverty and war are pushing minors to the frontlines
As soon as the latest conflict flared in Yemen, child soldiers resurfaced alongside reciprocal accusations by warring parties over recruiting children and deploying them to the front lines. Neither side officially acknowledges recruiting minors; however, the United Nations, media outlets and human rights reports have confirmed that both parties engage in the practice. A March 2025 report by the UN secretary-general on children and armed conflict documented 564 cases of child recruitment and use in Yemen between 2021 and 2023.

Green party of England and Wales facing international ostracism over ‘Zionism is racism’ vote
The European Green party, which represents 47 parties, including the Green party of England and Wales (GPEW), said it supported a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, and the new motion went against this. The alliance “will immediately demand clarity from the leadership and parliamentary group of GPEW, to understand the official party policy of GPEW, how they position themselves towards the self-determination of Israelis and Jews as well as the protection of Jewish people and members in the party”, it said in a statement.

Teenager loses hand in blast amid French school protest clashes
The 15-year-old was seriously injured in the northern city of Lens on Monday. Unverified police reports said that he had picked up a stun grenade. France had said it would close up to 500 schools as demonstrations over understaffed and rundown schools entered a third week. Critics have called for the authorities to temper their response to the protests amid claims of disproportionate police force being used against minors.

Coalition set to unveil dramatically deeper cuts to overseas migration as it fends off One Nation’s rise
The Nine newspapers reported the Coalition would initially drop net migration to around 100,000 in the first year after the election before it rose again to a figure between One Nation’s 130,000 and Labor’s target of 225,000. As previously announced by Taylor, the number of new arrivals will be linked to housing completions in Australia.

Protesters disrupt New Zealand aviation and space summit over Israel, US military ties
About 20 police officers were deployed around the city centre venue on Friday morning, where dozens of protesters opposed to links between the aviation and space sector and the defence industries gathered and chanted across the road in Victoria Square. One protester also chained himself to a vehicle near one of the centre entrances. Slogans including "New Zealand is complicit in genocide" and "This vehicle is obstructing war crimes" were written on the car.

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.

R: 4 / I: 1
A central theme is a series of reports that Alberta separatist organizers sought contacts with officials and political actors in the United States. According to reporting discussed across multiple outlets, separatist representatives met with U.S. State Department officials and explored how an independent Alberta might build closer economic ties with the United States. Reported ideas included use of the U.S. dollar, expanded energy cooperation, transportation corridors, access to resources, and possible economic support during a transition to independence. However, accounts differed regarding exactly what was discussed, and U.S. officials reportedly denied offering support or commitments. Critics argue that these contacts crossed a political line because the future of Canada should be decided by Canadians, while supporters portray the discussions as diplomacy and strategic planning. [thewalrus.ca], [energi.media]
The question of foreign interference runs throughout the coverage. Several writers argue that while Alberta separatists have the democratic right to advocate for independence, actively seeking assistance from foreign political actors is much more controversial. Political scientist Stewart Prest, writing in The Walrus, compares the current situation to past Canadian reactions to outside involvement in Quebec sovereignty debates. He argues that foreign governments and political movements should not influence decisions about Canada’s territorial future and calls for a clear federal response against external interference. Prest maintains that the issue is not simply separatism itself, but the involvement of American political actors in a Canadian constitutional question. [thewalrus.ca]
At the same time, multiple stories examine whether such actions amount to treason. The general conclusion is that, under Canadian law, the answer is likely no. Critics may describe the conduct as disloyal or a betrayal of Canada, but experts quoted in several articles say the legal definition of treason is much narrower. Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt argues that the conduct is better understood as foreign political interference than treason. He acknowledges a long history of independence movements around the world seeking international support, while expressing greater concern about Americans willing to become involved in Canadian political disputes. [thewalrus.ca], [energi.media]
Another major theme is the relationship between Alberta separatist activists and Republican political networks in the United States. Reporting highlighted contacts with Michigan Republican organizers and the use of voter-mobilization techniques developed for U.S. conservative campaigns. One of the most detailed investigations examined the Centurion Project, a political organizing effort connected to Alberta for separatist activism. According to PressProgress, the project drew inspiration from a Michigan-based Republican initiative called 10xVotes and adapted its voter-identification model for Alberta. The article traces connections between the app’s creators, American conservative activists, prominent Trump supporters, and influential Republican donors. It also notes that U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra said he had no knowledge of the Alberta project’s use of the technology and was not involved with its operations. [pressprogress.ca]
The Centurion Project story is closely tied to concerns about privacy and election integrity. Investigations cited in the coverage describe allegations that information from Alberta’s voters list was improperly accessed and used within separatist organizing efforts. The matter prompted investigations by Elections Alberta, privacy authorities, and police. Critics characterize the episode as one of the most significant alleged political data breaches in recent Canadian history. Supporters of investigations argue it demonstrates the risks of importing highly aggressive U.S.-style political mobilization techniques into Canadian politics. [pressprogress.ca]
The media ecosystem surrounding Alberta separatism is another significant focus. CBC’s reporting highlights the rise of anonymous online influencers who have become more important than traditional political leaders in shaping the movement’s message. In particular, the “Rise of Alberta” social media account has become one of the dominant voices advocating independence. Researchers cited by CBC found that the account generates vast online engagement through a mix of memes, videos, political commentary, and merchandise sales. CBC also identified links between the account’s infrastructure and organizations associated with separatist leader Keith Wilson, although Wilson denied operating the account himself and said it belonged to a website designer who also worked for his organizations. [cbc.ca]
The CBC investigation raises broader concerns about anonymous political campaigning. Researchers argue that an account capable of driving a substantial share of online discussion can exert significant influence without the scrutiny normally applied to political parties or elected officials. The report also notes the account’s use of provocative and culture-war-oriented messaging, illustrating how Alberta separatism increasingly intersects with online populist and right-wing political cultures. [cbc.ca]
Several opinion pieces take a sharply critical view of the separatist movement itself. Their authors argue that the movement’s leaders have become liabilities because they make unrealistic claims about Alberta’s future, alienate potential supporters, and damage the credibility of the independence cause. Critics also contend that discussions about trading strategic resources or seeking American political assistance make the movement appear willing to compromise Alberta’s long-term interests in pursuit of separation. These writers suggest that separatism is increasingly associated with fringe activism rather than a broad-based constitutional movement.
A recurring concern is the influence of MAGA-style politics in Alberta. Bratt and other observers argue that parts of the movement have adopted tactics, narratives, and networks that closely resemble contemporary American conservative activism. This includes skepticism toward mainstream institutions, the growth of alternative media ecosystems, and fears that referendum results could be challenged if they do not favour independence. Bratt warns that some activists are already questioning electoral processes and that similar rhetoric to the American “Stop the Steal” movement could emerge after Alberta’s referendum. [energi.media]
The collection of articles also reflects a broader national debate. Critics fear that U.S. political actors see Alberta separatism as an opportunity to exert influence over Canada. Others argue that allegations of foreign interference are being exaggerated for political purposes. Regardless of viewpoint, the stories collectively show that Alberta separatism has evolved beyond a provincial grievance movement focused on equalization, energy policy, and western alienation. It now intersects with international politics, social media influence networks, privacy controversies, and debates about Canadian sovereignty. [thewalrus.ca], [pressprogress.ca], [cbc.ca], [energi.media]
Taken together, the articles portray a movement at a crossroads. Separatist leaders have succeeded in drawing unprecedented attention to their cause, but they have also attracted scrutiny over their relationships with American political actors, their methods of voter mobilization, and the increasingly polarized online ecosystem surrounding the campaign. Whether viewed as legitimate advocates for self-determination or as a movement flirting with foreign influence, the coverage suggests that the future of Alberta separatism is now tied not only to Alberta politics, but also to larger questions about democracy, sovereignty, and the influence of cross-border political movements in Canada. [thewalrus.ca], [pressprogress.ca], [cbc.ca], [energi.media]
Alberta Separatism and American Influence: How a Regional Movement Became an International Controve
Across the eleven articles, a common narrative emerges: Alberta separatism is no longer being discussed solely as a domestic Canadian political movement. The stories focus on growing connections between some Alberta separatist activists and U.S. Republican political networks, concerns about foreign interference, the role of online organizing, and a broader debate over whether separatist leaders are helping or harming their own cause.A central theme is a series of reports that Alberta separatist organizers sought contacts with officials and political actors in the United States. According to reporting discussed across multiple outlets, separatist representatives met with U.S. State Department officials and explored how an independent Alberta might build closer economic ties with the United States.

CBC also identified links between the account’s infrastructure and organizations associated with separatist leader Keith Wilson, although Wilson denied operating the account himself and said it belonged to a website designer who also worked for his organizations. [cbc.ca]
The CBC investigation raises broader concerns about anonymous political campaigning. Researchers argue that an account capable of driving a substantial share of online discussion can exert significant influence without the scrutiny normally applied to political parties or elected officials. The report also notes the account’s use of provocative and culture-war-oriented messaging, illustrating how Alberta separatism increasingly intersects with online populist and right-wing political cultures. [cbc.ca]
Several opinion pieces take a sharply critical view of the separatist movement itself. Their authors argue that the movement’s leaders have become liabilities because they make unrealistic claims about Alberta’s future, alienate potential supporters, and damage the credibility of the independence cause. Critics also contend that discussions about trading strategic resources or seeking American political assistance make the movement appear willing to compromise Alberta’s long-term interests in pursuit of separation. These writers suggest that separatism is increasingly associated with fringe activism rather than a broad-based constitutional movement.
A recurring concern is the influence of MAGA-style politics in Alberta. Bratt and other observers argue that parts of the movement have adopted tactics, narratives, and networks that closely resemble contemporary American conservative activism. This includes skepticism toward mainstream institutions, the growth of alternative media ecosystems, and fears that referendum results could be challenged if they do not favour independence. Bratt warns that some activists are already questioning electoral processes and that similar rhetoric to the American “Stop the Steal” movement could emerge after Alberta’s referendum. [energi.media]
The collection of articles also reflects a broader national debate. Critics fear that U.S. political actors see Alberta separatism as an opportunity to exert influence over Canada. Others argue that allegations of foreign interference are being exaggerated for political purposes. Regardless of viewpoint, the stories collectively show that Alberta separatism has evolved beyond a provincial grievance movement focused on equalization, energy policy, and western alienation. It now intersects with international politics, social media influence networks, privacy controversies, and debates about Canadian sovereignty. [thewalrus.ca], [pressprogress.ca], [cbc.ca], [energi.media]
Taken together, the articles portray a movement at a crossroads. Separatist leaders have succeeded in drawing unprecedented attention to their cause, but they have also attracted scrutiny over their relationships with American political actors, their methods of voter mobilization, and the increasingly polarized online ecosystem surrounding the campaign. Whether viewed as legitimate advocates for self-determination or as a movement flirting with foreign influence, the coverage suggests that the future of Alberta separatism is now tied not only to Alberta politics, but also to larger questions about democracy, sovereignty, and the influence of cross-border political movements in Canada.

Obviously the Marxist project is modernist.
Obviously it's spooky season so this is a spook thread.
Can there even be a post-modern political project?
How we define the term post-modern seems critical.
Consider it a dialectic which doesn't remove the negated.
If we do this can we even negate "illegitimate" uses of power.
There's no "good" and "evil" here, and mass doesn't help.
Is it just our own good and evil and will to power?
Maybe we even think we're a "good" person.
And use our little power to enforce "good" ends…
But there's just the means available, and our willingness.
Does it come full circle in the end?
Maybe everyone already realizes this.
Except the "establishment" clinging to remnants of modernity.

Why do Leftists/Marxists in particular get upset when capitalist countries oppose them, when their ideology necessarily calls for overthrowing of their governments. When you call for world revolution their are naturally going to be forces that will oppose you.
Marxists argue that capitalists will do whatever is necessary to preserve their power, including supporting or installing fascist regimes. If you therefore believe that violent revolution is ultimately necessary to overthrow the bourgeoisie, why is it surprising when the bourgeoisie commits atrocities in the name of preserving its own power?

If you calm down and look at Jesus's message thinking of it as a political message then it can be summed up to a sort of proto utopian communism. He advocated for better treatment for slaves (which is really a lukewarm reformist stance), an abandonment of money and instead life in communities where people share their shit and help each other. He also invented the threat of hell to force people to do as he said and his rhetoric and methods had a ton of weaknesses. His insistence of pacifism only made his followers easy to hunt down and for the people in power to distort his ideas.
In the end Jesus's thought was entirely recuperated by the Romans. They took Jesus out of christianity and interpreted everything he said in a way that allowed them to do what they were already doing: kill rape and pillage everyone, which eventually merged (and turned) into christianity itself. Most of christian history of destruction is just an influence of the roman co-opted version Jesus's political movement with very little of Jesus himself, which means Jesus is a catastrophically failed political leader whose life should be interpreted as a failed revolutionary movement, and as all revolutionary movements it should be studied to avoid the same mistakes. For example, he proved that martyrism and pacifism do not work at all, that speaking in vague riddles will just make it easier for your enemies to just distort everything you said in a way that is convenient to themselves, and that communism must be materialist.
Jesus as a political figure?
Back in Jesus's time when politics and religion were firmly merged together and people couldn't even conceptualize politics without god so I guess it must've made sense for a man to develop a political vision and think of it all as a revelation from heavens.If you calm down and look at Jesus's message thinking of it as a political message then it can be summed up to a sort of proto utopian communism.

The 2026 Latinobarómetro survey showed that for the first time since the annual survey began in 1995, China is seen as a more benign force than the United States. It showed 57 percent of people in Latin America considering the United States to be a positive influence, down from 60 percent in 2020. China, meanwhile, was considered a positive influence by 65 percent of respondents, a jump from the 48 percent it scored six years ago.

Libyan unity talks upended as warlord’s son linked to drone attacks on fuel facilities
Allegations that the son of the Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar oversaw a “terror cell” that launched drone attacks on fuel storage facilities and power stations in western Libya have upended plans for the Tripoli-based government of national unity (GNU) to continue cooperating with Haftar on a plan to unify the country. Saddam Haftar, the deputy commander of the so-called Libyan National Army (LNA), has increasingly been seen by the US as an important figure in its plans to unify Libyan security, judicial and political institutions.

China initiates anti-dumping investigation into p-nitrotoluene from EU
The ministry said the probe was initiated after a complaint from China's domestic industry. Preliminary evidence showed the prices of EU imports fell nearly 60% cumulatively between 2022 and 2025, it said. The investigation comes amid growing trade tensions between China and the European Union, which have increasingly resorted to anti-dumping and other trade defence measures targeting each other's products.

For a borrower with an average $750,000 home loan, monthly mortgage payments will be about $115 higher after the latest increase and $450 higher than at the start of the year—almost $5,500 higher per year. The impact is so severe because the cost of housing has doubled over the past 15 years.

Libyan unity talks upended as warlord’s son linked to drone attacks on fuel facilities
Allegations that the son of the Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar oversaw a “terror cell” that launched drone attacks on fuel storage facilities and power stations in western Libya have upended plans for the Tripoli-based government of national unity (GNU) to continue cooperating with Haftar on a plan to unify the country. Saddam Haftar, the deputy commander of the so-called Libyan National Army (LNA), has increasingly been seen by the US as an important figure in its plans to unify Libyan security, judicial and political institutions.

China initiates anti-dumping investigation into p-nitrotoluene from EU
The ministry said the probe was initiated after a complaint from China's domestic industry. Preliminary evidence showed the prices of EU imports fell nearly 60% cumulatively between 2022 and 2025, it said. The investigation comes amid growing trade tensions between China and the European Union, which have increasingly resorted to anti-dumping and other trade defence measures targeting each other's products.

I hate Warhammer
I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

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.
