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?

Is Israel the most reactionary country that has ever existed? People will point out nazi Germany but Israel is much more xenophobic and racist. The only difference is that it's a "democracy" and nazi Germany a one party state.

Economic Democracy
Here is an excellent article from Jacobin magazine:>Inside the workplace your boss rules like a dictator, dictating the pace, the discipline, and how the fruits of labor are distributed. The core message of the text is that there can be no socialism without workers full control over the means of production and workplace democracy.
>The authors (Beggs, Burgis & Sunkara) dismantle the myth of the efficiency of authoritarian management. Empirical evidence shows that worker-managed enterprises are at least as productive, and often more resilient, than traditional capitalist firms.

The strike punctured Addis Ababa’s relative calm despite Ethiopia’s federal government battling an alliance of rebel movements opposed to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in Ethiopia’s regions of Tigray, Amhara and Afar. Western and regional officials in Addis Ababa confirmed to Middle East Eye the sound of explosions in the capital due to a drone strike. AFP reported that the explosion rocked the Ethiopian National Defence Force headquarters in the Tor Hayloch area of Addis Ababa. In a statement, Ethiopia accused Eritrea of engaging in “direct and indirect acts of hostility and belligerence” against it.

Protesters against illegal immigration in South Africa call for more deportations
With some brandishing traditional Zulu weapons and singing cultural songs, they marched through Durban’s streets. Police didn’t report any incidents of violence against foreigners during the protest. A similar deadline set for June 30 sparked a mass repatriation of foreigners to their various African countries after attacks on immigrants. The governments of those nations arranged for the evacuation of their citizens.

Crude oil exports from strait of Hormuz largely return to pre-war levels
Pipeline exports and ship-to-ship transfers are among the methods being used, according to analysts tracking the situation, while the US military continues to escort some vessels. However, flows of refined products such as diesel remain constrained, pushing prices higher. At least 16.5m barrels per day (bpd) left the region in September, according to figures from the global trade intelligence firm Kpler, equalling the pre-war average, excluding Iran. The figure is 10.5m bpd higher than the monthly average for March, during the first weeks of the Iran war.

CPS asked to consider manslaughter charges over Grenfell Tower fire
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police confirmed they had passed files relating to 20 organisations and 54 individuals to the CPS, including the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The 2017 blaze in North Kensington, west London, killed 72 people, and a public inquiry concluded that all the deaths were avoidable, with residents having been “badly failed” by authorities “in most cases through incompetence but in some cases through dishonesty and greed.”

Serbia’s Vucic Pardons ‘Novi Sad 12’ as ‘Act of Mercy’ Before Resigning
The 12 activists, linked to the opposition Free Citizens Movement, PSG, and the activist group Students Against Authoritarian Rule, STAV, were charged with preparing acts against Serbia’s constitutional order and security. The charges arose from a recording of the meeting between the indictees ahead of a March 2025 rally that became the largest in Serbian history. Six of them spent more than seven months in detention and house arrest before being released to defend themselves at liberty.

Military shoots and abducts pregnant Red fighter on medical leave in Tagum City
New People’s Army (NPA) member Arnida Cuaton Maguiguilid (Ka Lovi/Fikong/Yassy) is paralyzed from the waist down after she was shot by military agents in Barangay Visayan, Tagum City, on September 19. Maguiguilid was shot despite her hors de combat status while on medical leave. She was later abducted and is being paraded as having “surrendered” to military forces. Maguiguilid was in Tagum City for a medical check-up for her complicated pregnancy. She has diabetes and high blood pressure. Her pregnancy is being closely monitored after having suffered pre-eclampsia in her previous two deliveries, which resulted in the death of her first child.

“We are here to protest against the absence of inclusive public policies,” Jackeline López, spokesperson for the Clara Zetkin Women’s Movement, told press. “Abortion remains a taboo subject for Venezuelan authorities, whose response is to criminalize it.” López went on to stress that unsafe abortions mostly plague Venezuelan working-class women. “The current wages do not allow women access to family planning or contraceptive methods,” she continued. “The right to decide over our bodies is a key public healthcare issue, and leaving it unattended means criminalizing poor women.”

‘It’s utter surrealism’: Venezuela’s Chavistas lament government’s embrace of Trump
So far there has been no sign of significant resistance from outraged supporters of Chavismo. But Silva claimed the government’s new direction and economic policies could eventually trigger a social uprising and protests. “Worsening economic conditions will degrade [people’s] quality of life, and that pressure is bound to explode. It has to explode – it’s not just wishful thinking. This isn’t a prediction born of desire, it’s an inevitability,” said the broadcaster, who has claimed he is facing investigation for alleged acts of “aggravated defamation and slander against the interim government”.

Colombia’s top corporate lobbyist resigns over reported tensions with president
According to political news magazine La Silla Vacia, the rift between the ANDI and the government was because De la Espriella’s law firm was never allowed to join the ANDI and the association’s donations in response to the august 10 earthquake bypassed the First Lady’s newly founded and very controversial foundation.

Eritrea and Ethiopia shutter embassies as new Red Sea conflict loomsThe strike punctured Addis Ababa’s relative calm despite Ethiopia’s federal government battling an alliance of rebel movements opposed to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in Ethiopia’s regions of Tigray, Amhara and Afar. Western and regional officials in Addis Ababa confirmed to Middle East Eye the sound of explosions in the capital due to a drone strike. AFP reported that the explosion rocked the Ethiopian National Defence Force headquarters in the Tor Hayloch area of Addis Ababa. In a statement, Ethiopia accused Eritrea of engaging in “direct and indirect acts of hostility and belligerence” against it.

Protesters against illegal immigration in South Africa call for more deportations
With some brandishing traditional Zulu weapons and singing cultural songs, they marched through Durban’s streets. Police didn’t report any incidents of violence against foreigners during the protest. A similar deadline set for June 30 sparked a mass repatriation of foreigners to their various African countries after attacks on immigrants. The governments of those nations arranged for the evacuation of their citizens.

Crude oil exports from strait of Hormuz largely return to pre-war levels
Pipeline exports and ship-to-ship transfers are among the methods being used, according to analysts tracking the situation, while the US military continues to escort some vessels. However, flows of refined products such as diesel remain constrained, pushing prices higher. At least 16.5m barrels per day (bpd) left the region in September, according to figures from the global trade intelligence firm Kpler, equalling the pre-war average, excluding Iran. The figure is 10.5m bpd higher than the monthly average for March, during the first weeks of the Iran war.

CPS asked to consider manslaughter charges over Grenfell Tower fire
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police confirmed they had passed files relating to 20 organisations and 54 individuals to the CPS, including the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The 2017 blaze in North Kensington, west London, killed 72 people, and a public inquiry concluded that all the deaths were avoidable, with residents having been “badly failed” by authorities “in most cases through incompetence but in some cases through dishonesty and greed.”

Serbia’s Vucic Pardons ‘Novi Sad 12’ as ‘Act of Mercy’ Before Resigning
The 12 activists, linked to the opposition Free Citizens Movement, PSG, and the activist group Students Against Authoritarian Rule, STAV, were charged with preparing acts against Serbia’s constitutional order and security. The charges arose from a recording of the meeting between the indictees ahead of a March 2025 rally that became the largest in Serbian history. Six of them spent more than seven months in detention and house arrest before being released to defend themselves at liberty.

Military shoots and abducts pregnant Red fighter on medical leave in Tagum City
New People’s Army (NPA) member Arnida Cuaton Maguiguilid (Ka Lovi/Fikong/Yassy) is paralyzed from the waist down after she was shot by military agents in Barangay Visayan, Tagum City, on September 19. Maguiguilid was shot despite her hors de combat status while on medical leave. She was later abducted and is being paraded as having “surrendered” to military forces. Maguiguilid was in Tagum City for a medical check-up for her complicated pregnancy. She has diabetes and high blood pressure. Her pregnancy is being closely monitored after having suffered pre-eclampsia in her previous two deliveries, which resulted in the death of her first child.

Why were so many communist leaders so callous about the lives of workers?
It seems like they cared more about trying to create a productive developed society than the people that society would actually be created for.

the future is a neo feudal tech dystopia where the new lords are the tech oligarchs who own the AI, the second tier will be the ai safety regulators, the new bourgeoise. and the third tier will be 98 percent of humanity who have lost their worth and purpose having been replaced by AI, at best becoming useless consumers who live off a stipend of UBI
there will be no revolution or even any use for an army, since the tech lords will have autonomous drones and AI surveillance monitoring dissidents
Only one central problem will remain for humanity (that which remains alive), and it will be the theological one. The transition to the new world, triggered by technology, does not seem likely to affect in any way that hidden, inner space where, as if we were sitting before the universe, we ask ourselves to know the One who gives us the desire to know Him and to know everything within ourselves and beyond ourselves.
Christianity, the religion of slaves and the illiterate, will once again begin its journey. For it is not data that saves us, but crossing the bridge over the abyss of life.

>The ruler of the universe divides the people by confusing their language to keep them out of heaven
is it a proto-class-conscious story? or just a story to explain the origin of language before people understood linguistics? on the one hand one can see the rudiments of class consciousness at play in the story, on the other hand there is no divide shown between the people doing the building and the people commissioning the building, it is just "the people" versus "heaven". But what is "heaven" if not the ruling class of the ancient world? It can also be the personification of all forces beyond our control, including forces like the weather. Somewhere along the way we conflated our ancestor worship and filial piety with nature personfication and got nature deities. this led to yahweh, to judaism, and eventually to the tower of babel story.

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.

<A house may be large or small; as long as the neighboring houses are likewise small, it satisfies all social requirement for a residence. But let there arise next to the little house a palace, and the little house shrinks to a hut. The little house now makes it clear that its inmate has no social position at all to maintain, or but a very insignificant one; and however high it may shoot up in the course of civilization, if the neighboring palace rises in equal or even in greater measure, the occupant of the relatively little house will always find himself more uncomfortable, more dissatisfied, more cramped within his four walls. An appreciable rise in wages presupposes a rapid growth of productive capital. Rapid growth of productive capital calls forth just as rapid a growth of wealth, of luxury, of social needs and social pleasures. Therefore, although the pleasures of the labourer have increased, the social gratification which they afford has fallen in comparison with the increased pleasures of the capitalist, which are inaccessible to the worker, in comparison with the stage of development of society in general. Our wants and pleasures have their origin in society; we therefore measure them in relation to society; we do not measure them in relation to the objects which serve for their gratification. Since they are of a social nature, they are of a relative nature.
- Karl Marx, Wage Labour and Capital (1847), Chapter 6
Basically he is saying that being well-off isn't just about what you have, it's also about what everyone else has. If your income goes up but rich people's wealth increases much faster, you may actually feel poorer compared with them. Humans naturally compare themselves with other people, so our idea of what we need depends partly on the society we live in.
<The thoughts of every piece of private property as such are at least turned against richer private property in the form of envy and the desire to level everything down; hence these feelings in fact constitute the essence of competition. The crude communist is merely the culmination of this envy and desire to level down on the basis of a preconceived minimum. It has a definite, limited measure. How little this abolition of private property is a true appropriation is shown by the abstract negation of the entire world of culture and civilization, and the return to the unnatural simplicity of the poor, unrefined man who has no needs and who has not yet even reached the stage of private property, let alone gone beyond it. (For crude communism) the community is simply a community of labor and equality of wages, which are paid out by the communal capital, the community as universal capitalist. Both sides of the relation are raised to an unimaginary universality – labor as the condition in which everyone is placed and capital as the acknowledged universality and power of the community. […] The first positive abolition of private property – crude communism – is therefore only a manifestation of the vileness of private property trying to establish itself as the positive community. […] By reducing the worker's needs to the paltriest minimum necessary to maintain his physical existence and by reducing his activity to the most abstract mechanical movement. In so doing, the political economist declares that man has no other needs, either in the sphere of activity or in that of consumption. For even this life he calls human life and human existence. By taking as his standard – his universal standard, in the sense that it applies to the mass of men – the worst possible state of privation which life (existence) can know. He turns the worker into a being with neither needs nor senses and turn the worker's activity into a pure abstraction from all activity. Hence any luxury that the worker might enjoy is reprehensible, and anything that goes beyond the most abstract need – either in the form of passive enjoyment or active expression – appears to him as a luxury.
- Karl Marx, Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts, Third Manuscript, Private Property and Labor (1844)
Marx is pointing out that making everyone equally poor isn't real freedom. If you eliminate private property as an institution of class society, but give everyone only the bare minimum, you've solved inequality by making everyone live with less. Human beings need more than food and shelter, they also need culture, enjoyment, creativity, education, and opportunities to develop themselves.
Our idea of being well off depends partly on how other people live, and he thinks both extreme wealth and extreme attempts to eliminate personal property can reduce human freedom and satisfaction. Two different things can be true at once. Extreme inequality can make people dissatisfied even when their material lives improve. Simply making everyone materially equal isn't enough if people are denied the ability to develop themselves and enjoy life. Human well-being is more complicated than simply counting how many possessions someone has. A person can have more stuff than they had before and still feel relatively poor. And a society can make everyone materially equal without necessarily giving people a rich, fulfilling human life. This is why bourgeois propaganda about how you should be grateful because you have better medicine than a bronze age king or a lower mortality rate than a feudal peasant falls flat. People aren't comparing themselves with the past, not even the very wealthy people of the past. This is also why workers in the imperial core aren't comparing their standard of living with the workers of the periphery, instead they compare their standard of living with the wealthy from their own societies. It is more visible and more obvious. Nobody working at McDonalds in Alabama is going to say "I have it so good compared to a in Indian in New Delhi, I should be happy with this."
Now compare the Young Marx of these passages with the older Marx of Capital Volume 1, all you like, but also compare this Marx with the popular idea of Marx inherited through conservative criticism of Marx and the shortcomings of historical projects like the USSR. Those people believe in a Marx who thinks everyone is equally poor and the government owns everything and everyone in a permanent prison panopticon. Marx's actual writings are a 19th century critique of capitalism, alienation, class relations, and private property. Marxism developed by later thinkers like are related to this but not identical. Marx actually thinks “luxury” can be part of human development. Marx isn't simply arguing that equality = happiness.
Young Marx
What Young Marx actually thought about personal wealth and standard of living:<A house may be large or small; as long as the neighboring houses are likewise small, it satisfies all social requirement for a residence.

The little house now makes it clear that its inmate has no social position at all to maintain, or but a very insignificant one; and however high it may shoot up in the course of civilization, if the neighboring palace rises in equal or even in greater measure, the occupant of the relatively little house will always find himself more uncomfortable, more dissatisfied, more cramped within his four walls.

Im in tech and I'm tired of the entire market. I wonder if at this pace a service economy really makes sense. It's simply unsustainable
Is capitalism actually dead?
There isn't a single industry in the West experiencing real growth except defense and AI and calling it "growth" is generous. It’s more of a last-resort attempt to pump life into a rotting cadaver. Meanwhile, China is consolidating global tech innovation, closing in on fusion energy and hardware built to outpace the West entirely. Mass layoffs across traditional SaaS, gaming, and social media confirm the truth: there’s simply no money left in the consumer economy worth extracting, leaving defense as the only viable play against a dead-end market. Which is why we're seeing companies like flock and palantir or anduril suddenly being overvalued.Im in tech and I'm tired of the entire market.

The posts on this board are basically CNN, with a footnote which pleads "believe us! we're leftists! we're not libruls!" but clearly this footnote is a falsehood.
This board exists to be a filter which ensures no further left-wing political ideology makes it's way into western politics.
This is why nearly every post gets banned here. This is why it's always the most interesting or intelligent posts which inevitably get banned. This is why websites like this one are notorious for censorship, because they're not run by leftists, but rather people who want to filter and ultimately censor leftist politics, to ensure they never face them in western politics.

This is why websites like this one are notorious for censorship, because they're not run by leftists, but rather people who want to filter and ultimately censor leftist politics, to ensure they never face them in western politics.

consider a grid of cells, each with a value between 0 and 1
1 represents absolute power. 0 represents absolute weakness, or slavery if you will.
all cells start off with a value of 0.4-0.6 to represent natural variation in abilities. this is "primitive communism" cells can slowly accumulate power from the environment through their independent or cooperative labor. in the case of cooperative labor they share the proceeds. cells can also become bound to each other in groups of arbitrary size through confederation. cells can also rob their neighbors of power through competitive behavior. there are two flavors of competitive behavior "envious" where you try to rob a stronger neighbor, but have a higher chance of losing, but also a bigger reward, and "wrathful" where you rob a weaker neighbor, with a higher chance of winning, but also a lower reward. similarly cooperative behavior has two flavors, "philanthropic" where a cell tries to help weaker neighbors, even though they help they get back will be less than they gave away, and "pragmatic" where a cell tries to help stronger neighbors in exchange for protection.
what we find is that power accumulates very quickly in cells, and that "primitive communism" falls apart very quickly. the simulation, no matter how equal it is configured to start out in, very quickly devolves into "class society."
we also find that cells tend to favor "wrathful" competitive behaviors and "pragmatic" cooperative behaviors, sucking up to the powerful, and punching down on the weak. Confederations of cells, when they do form, reproduce these behaviors at the group level, punching down on weaker groups, and sucking up to stronger groups.
The limit to this process seems to be the material available for consumption in the environment.
what we have yet to discover is a way to achieve equal-ish distribution of power that is relatively stable.
our simulation studies continue…

Afghanistan’s defense ministry claims forces killed 41 insurgents crossing from Pakistan
The insurgents included members of the Islamic State group, the ministry said in a statement issued late Tuesday night. It said it had killed 41 and captured another 62 in the Kamdesh district of the northeastern province of Nuristan from Sunday to Tuesday. The defense ministry said the fighters had crossed into Afghanistan “with the support” of Pakistan.

Iranians face soaring medicine prices as US blockade and sanctions hit hard
The US naval blockade has forced importers on to more expensive air routes, now threatened by new sanctions on Iranian airlines. Bahman Sabour of the Tehran Pharmacies Association said US sanctions do not directly target medicines, but financial sanctions have long discouraged international banks and companies from processing pharmaceutical transactions for fear of falling foul of restrictions.

Sadr also called on the US military to compensate Iraq for damages caused during what he described as Washington’s "occupation" of the country, urging Iraqis to pursue legal claims. He warned the US and neighboring countries against interfering in Iraqi affairs, saying such intervention could result in a severed relations and reciprocal measures.

Russian Regions Turn to Residents and Businesses to Fund Bomb Shelters
Building owners in St. Petersburg have received orders to equip shelters, while apartment residents in Yekaterinburg have been asked to approve charges for converting underground parking facilities. In Omsk, parents of kindergarten children have been asked to contribute toward supplies for a basement shelter. The measures would shift some preparation costs to households and businesses as Russia works to restore more than 20,000 protective facilities across 82 regions, a program the Emergency Situations Ministry estimates will require about 155 billion rubles ($1.88 billion).

Protesters camped out across Spain demand passage of housing measures
Many activists said even those measures fell short of tackling the crisis."It's not enough — it might be a starting point or a stopgap," 32-year-old pharmaceutical worker Julio Gomez told Reuters, adding that he was willing to stay with his tent in Madrid's Puerta del Sol square for "as long as it takes". Others criticised the government's decision to split the measures into two separate bills with the expectation that one, which automatically extends leases to prevent abusive rent hikes, would be rejected by a slim right-wing majority.

Sheinbaum reiterated that any Mexican will be able to retain two or more nationalities and that the requirement applies only to those seeking to head the federal and state executives covered by the reform.

Why? Why do you people here just ban or censor literally everything, unless it's the most mundane, watered down, pro-establishment or unthreatening-to-the-establishment narrative imaginable?
Why would you have deleted that thread? Why don't you want people hearing about how most right-wing conspiracies are true, but the way they fuck people is by convincing them to "blame the jews" for the crimes, instead of the United States government? Or, often, leftists.
Why?
Why would you not want people exposed to this idea, unless you yourselves were, in fact, fascists, who moderated this board in order to keep it deliberately milquetoast and diverted in directions which would never threaten the western establishment's ironclad hold on political power in the United States?
I forget precisely what the rest of the OP had in it now. It was about the United States being the epitome of the evil empire, though. And how if you live here, you have to recognize this, and quit making excuses for our government, or covering-up our crimes.
Why don't you want people discussing the facts of what happened on 9/11 here? I've also noticed you deleting any threads which criticize DSA as a psyop (which they objectively, almost demonstrably, are). Why? Why do you mods here want to cover-up the truth? The only reason is because you're actually working to keep the lid on leftist movements, and making certain people don't get exposed to the facts.
Why does there have to be just unfathomable amounts of censorship, here on /leftypol/? What are you all this terrified of people learning and understanding about the left? Perhaps that we're not your MSM misrepresentation of us? And that we're actually not a bunch of unimpressive idiots who don't face facts about things, like 9/11 or a million other clear crimes our govt is committing out in the open, but which mods here don't appear to want anyone ever facing or addressing?
If people like me are wrong, why can't you ever just tell us why? Why do you always have to censor us, ban us, mod us? Why can't you ever just prove to people like me why we're wrong? Why are clear fascists who LARP as leftists allowed to post all over the board, but actual communists, like myself, not allowed to post here.
This has been a problem for almost a fucking decade for me now. I've been dealing with this from this board or its previous incarnations for genuinely just a whole fucking decade now. What the fuck are you all this afraid of? Why does every 1 of my posts I ever make on your board just get immediately banned? There's nothing wrong with the posts. You're just censoring content which does not promote the concept of "leftist" as "neoliberal, establishment, capitalist MSM misrepresentations of us" and it's obvious what you're doing.
"Controlled Opposition" is why. The moderators of this board are part of a controlled opposition plot to misrepresent leftists, much in the way our MSM propaganda does, as being….basically completely fucking lame, idiotic, and having a message which does not appeal to anyone fucking reasonable or intelligent.
Why can't you just tell people like me why we're wrong? Must be easy, if we're wrong to the point where you need to delete our posts constantly, and censor us. But nope. You never tell us why we're wrong. You just try to bury our posts. Using your power as moderators to silence any form of dissent or discussion. And you do this constantly. Unironically fucking constantly.
I leave with this thought, in pic rel. Remember, most people on the left are not really "on the left", but instead just fascists who are trying to push the idpol agenda for anyone who isn't white or straight. And a lot of what you read on the internet is not real. Lots of paid commenting. Everything tries to drive your comments and beliefs away from leftist points of view. This is why the mods here have to ban every form of original thought, or anything which does not conform with the western capitalist MSM groupthink approved narratives. You people here are peddling these western capitalist MSM-approved groupthink narratives, then calling it "leftist" or "communism", but it's not. It's not that. You're "liberals", and "liberals" are not any different than fascists. You're just operating under a different premise. Different premise, but same politics and this is why the capitalists fund and promote and purvey the "liberals".
This is why people like George Soros fund you. Because you are fascists. You are tools of the western political establishment. You are the epitome of the brainwashed, indoctrinated masses, being led by completely badfaith subversive actors (your mods) in order to divert actual leftist political views into the abomination that is western liberalism. This is why your mods are. This is why they delete 90% of posts on this board.
Why? Why do you people here just ban or censor literally everything, unless it's the most mundane, watered down, pro-establishment or unthreatening-to-the-establishment narrative imaginable?
Why would you have deleted that thread? Why don't you want people hearing about how most right-wing conspiracies are true, but the way they fuck people is by convincing them to "blame the jews" for the crimes, instead of the United States government? Or, often, leftists.

The only reason is because you're actually working to keep the lid on leftist movements, and making certain people don't get exposed to the facts.
Why does there have to be just unfathomable amounts of censorship, here on /leftypol/? What are you all this terrified of people learning and understanding about the left? Perhaps that we're not your MSM misrepresentation of us? And that we're actually not a bunch of unimpressive idiots who don't face facts about things, like 9/11 or a million other clear crimes our govt is committing out in the open, but which mods here don't appear to want anyone ever facing or addressing?
If people like me are wrong, why can't you ever just tell us why? Why do you always have to censor us, ban us, mod us? Why can't you ever just prove to people like me why we're wrong? Why are clear fascists who LARP as leftists allowed to post all over the board, but actual communists, like myself, not allowed to post here.
This has been a problem for almost a fucking decade for me now. I've been dealing with this from this board or its previous incarnations for genuinely just a whole fucking decade now. What the fuck are you all this afraid of? Why does every 1 of my posts I ever make on your board just get immediately banned? There's nothing wrong with the posts. You're just censoring content which does not promote the concept of "leftist" as "neoliberal, establishment, capitalist MSM misrepresentations of us" and it's obvious what you're doing.
"Controlled Opposition" is why. The moderators of this board are part of a controlled opposition plot to misrepresent leftists, much in the way our MSM propaganda does, as being….basically completely fucking lame, idiotic, and having a message which does not appeal to anyone fucking reasonable or intelligent.
Why can't you just tell people like me why we're wrong? Must be easy, if we're wrong to the point where you need to delete our posts constantly, and censor us. But nope. You never tell us why we're wrong. You just try to bury our posts. Using your power as moderators to silence any form of dissent or discussion. And you do this constantly. Unironically fucking constantly.
I leave with this thought, in pic rel. Remember, most people on the left are not really "on the left", but instead just fascists who are trying to push the idpol agenda for anyone who isn't white or straight. And a lot of what you read on the internet is not real. Lots of paid commenting. Everything tries to drive your comments and beliefs away from leftist points of view. This is why the mods here have to ban every form of original thought, or anything which does not conform with the western capitalist MSM groupthink approved narratives. You people here are peddling these western capitalist MSM-approved groupthink narratives, then calling it "leftist" or "communism", but it's not. It's not that. You're "liberals", and "liberals" are not any different than fascists. You're just operating under a different premise. Different premise, but same politics and this is why the capitalists fund and promote and purvey the "liberals".
This is why people like George Soros fund you. Because you are fascists. You are tools of the western political establishment. You are the epitome of the brainwashed, indoctrinated masses, being led by completely badfaith subversive actors (your mods) in order to divert actual leftist political views into the abomination that is western liberalism. This is why your mods are. This is why they delete 90% of posts on this board.

nobody really bat an eye i was just asked if it was my first time there, i said i just hadn't been there in like years but i still knew the whole rituals and prayers, we sang a little, it was all chill until she arrived crying and sat next to me.
at the end she asked me to leave against my uncle's orders.
then she insists that i am not trans and it's just an idea i picked from the internet because i used to cry for being bullied for using the girls sinks in kindergarten and because i had a gf for like 5 days in middle school.
so i've been trying to explain to her that when i got my bloodwork my testosterone came out considerably low and my puberty didn't really start til around my 20s
tis more of a desperate attempt at her to stop asking me to wear "the right clothes" and just overall stop getting her hopes up about this being "just a phase" that's been going for like over 12 years now.
How do i convince my mother i am intersex?
Mom kept asking me to go to church, then when i finally felt sorta better to go, she approached me crying that i shouldn't have gone dressed as a woman, i asked my uncle who's got a higher authority on the church and he asked god and he says i had permission to go as i was comfortable and sit in the women's section.nobody really bat an eye i was just asked if it was my first time there, i said i just hadn't been there in like years but i still knew the whole rituals and prayers, we sang a little, it was all chill until she arrived crying and sat next to me.

Moreover they were released on police bail, not even going before a judge. As Nazir Afzal, a former chief prosecutor, pointed out, this indicated the men are not suspected of terrorism.

Spain proposes ban on evictions as ousted 87-year-old accepts offer to return home
Hundreds of people remained camped in one of Madrid's main squares on Tuesday to protest Maricarmen Abascal's removal from her home on a stretcher last Wednesday. They are demanding legal reforms including a rent freeze and the automatic renewal of leases without abusive rent hikes. Health Minister Monica Garcia said the ruling Socialists reached an agreement with junior partner Sumar on Tuesday for a set of new measures, including rolling over contracts until 2028 and banning so-called vulture funds from the housing market. However, the minority government faces an uphill battle to secure support in a fragmented parliament.

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

I've seen this a lot recently, with the new MJ biopic out as well as all the new allegations of abuse from the Cascio family and also a new Leaving Neverland documentary. In spite of the left staunchly holding on to #metoo and the fact abuse survivors/victims need to be believed and supported, the same isn't true with the multiple people who have accused MJ of CSA and grooming. The Epstein case has made discussions of pedophilia, CSA, and power imbalances in relationships mainstream. People are even going so far as to debate whether or not the Age of Consent should be raised to 21 in order to shield 18-year olds from predatory 30-year olds. Yet, if you bring up the fact MJ engaged in such things, you're denounced as a right-winger or reactionary (or even a racist).
Perhaps the most bizarre claims I've heard is that MJ was pro-Palestine and (allegedly) wrote a song about Palestine, Israel knew this so Mossad planted the CSA allegations against him in order to ruin him before the song could be recorded. There's no evidence of this, and MJ actually travelled to Israel and met with the IOF about a month after the Chandlers made the allegations known. I've also heard the conspiracy that MJ was protecting kids from the "real predators" in Hollywood and was saving kids from being trafficked to Epstein Island. That claim is easily debunked once you realize Epstein didn't buy his infamous island until 1998, and MJ was already taking in kids long before that.
And let's be honest: even if MJ did nothing criminal with the boys he surrounded himself with, his behaviours with them was still NOT appropriate. A grown man in his 30s and 40s should never, ever be having sleepovers with 8,9, and 10-year olds, much less sharing a bed with them. Plus, all of the stories his accusers tell fit perfectly with the model of grooming: MJ would dazzle the parents of these kids and buy them lots of expensive items, the parents would let their guards down and allow him to do what he pleased with their children, then MJ would have almost romantic-like relations with these kids. In no possible world would that ever be acceptable for a grown man to do.
So what gives? Why do so many comrades still defend MJ so viciously?
Michael Jackson and the left
Why does it seem like so many leftists support Michael Jackson to the point where they make defending him from all his abuse allegations a political issue?I've seen this a lot recently, with the new MJ biopic out as well as all the new allegations of abuse from the Cascio family and also a new Leaving Neverland documentary. In spite of the left staunchly holding on to #metoo and the fact abuse survivors/victims need to be believed and supported, the same isn't true with the multiple people who have accused MJ of CSA and grooming. The Epstein case has made discussions of pedophilia, CSA, and power imbalances in relationships mainstream. People are even going so far as to debate whether or not the Age of Consent should be raised to 21 in order to shield 18-year olds from predatory 30-year olds. Yet, if you bring up the fact MJ engaged in such things, you're denounced as a right-winger or reactionary (or even a racist).
Perhaps the most bizarre claims I've heard is that MJ was pro-Palestine and (allegedly) wrote a song about Palestine, Israel knew this so Mossad planted the CSA allegations against him in order to ruin him before the song could be recorded. There's no evidence of this, and MJ actually travelled to Israel and met with the IOF about a month after the Chandlers made the allegations known. I've also heard the conspiracy that MJ was protecting kids from the "real predators" in Hollywood and was saving kids from being trafficked to Epstein Island. That claim is easily debunked once you realize Epstein didn't buy his infamous island until 1998, and MJ was already taking in kids long before that.
And let's be honest: even if MJ did nothing criminal with the boys he surrounded himself with, his behaviours with them was still NOT appropriate. A grown man in his 30s and 40s should never, ever be having sleepovers with 8,9, and 10-year olds, much less sharing a bed with them.

ALL GENRES Gen Z
Is there more of a phenomenon of people listening to all/every genre or at least a ton of them? 20-30 years ago shit was a lot cliquish with punks, metalheads, hip hop fans, etc. having their own subcultures and people thought old music was cheesy. Now I notice zoomer listen to all genres and a ton even listen to old/boomer music without any reservations.

When the time comes to look at Marxism in Western politics, however, the influence of Christianity in the construction of the symbolic, subjective and theoretical universe of this Marxism is rarely taken into account. It is as if in Asia, Confucianism has an influence on politics, in Africa, Islam has an influence on politics, but in Brazil, in the US, in France, in Portugal, Christianity does not perform a similar role in forming historic subjectivity. This is a mistake for a very simple and objective reason, which Antonio Gramsci points out in several different passages of Prison Notebooks: the Catholic Church is the longest operating institution in the West. No other institution has managed to stay alive for so long with the capacity to disseminate and circulate ideas and concepts, through a body of intellectual priests, bishops and theologians, organized within a bureaucracy like the Catholic Church has. So it is impossible to speak seriously about Marxism, politics, subjectivity, culture, and the symbolic field in the West without incorporating the role of Christianity in each social formation, in each specific country as elements of analysis.
I believe it is impossible to understand the phenomenon that is poorly described as “populism” (a term which I do not use), of this relationship of the popular classes with people like Lula, Getúlio Vargas, Miguel Arraes, Brizola, Perón, Velasco Ibarra, and Hugo Chávez without understanding the basic configurations of the Catholic relationship between devotees and saints. Obviously this is not the only explanation, but there is a symbolic element in the political structure of this relationship. I have been thinking about this for a long time. It is not my idea — Domenico Losurdo and Roland Boer have written about how the fetish for defeat is one of the fundamental characteristics of Western Marxism and how this is a misunderstood derivative of Christian culture.
Western Marxism, the Fetish for Defeat, and Christian Culture (2020)
There is a fundamental contradiction in many of the Marxist studies that are produced in the West. Every time that they speak of Marxism in Asia — in China, Korea or Vietnam — or when they speak of popular movements in Africa such as in Egypt or Libya, they highlight the influence of religion on these political movements and the national adaptation of Marxism. When any Marxist researcher studies, for example, Chinese Marxism, they are obliged to address the influence of Confucius’ philosophy on Chinese culture in a general manner and on Chinese Marxism in particular. Likewise, the influence that Islam has on many African countries is always taken into account, or the influence of Confucianism in Asia more generally.When the time comes to look at Marxism in Western politics, however, the influence of Christianity in the construction of the symbolic, subjective and theoretical universe of this Marxism is rarely taken into account. It is as if in Asia, Confucianism has an influence on politics, in Africa, Islam has an influence on politics, but in Brazil, in the US, in France, in Portugal, Christianity does not perform a similar role in forming historic subjectivity.

Gambling streamers are reactionary.
This is Yuri 22, a Brazilian streamer of online gambling. Recently, he was outraged after the Brazilian government banned online betting. He said he has never voted and doesn't even know how to vote, but that this year he will vote for the far-right candidate who is a puppet of Trump and Rubio. At the same time, Yuri said he wants to leave the country and open a casino in Venezuela. How can the Brazilian Right lack intelligence?

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.

Are you suicidal?
Please seek professional help. They will lock you in a barren wasteland, drug you against your will, gaslight and infantilize you, and maybe even electrocute you.
You’re going to love it.

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

i know you theory-minded suburban adolescents don't want to hear this, but one of the unavoidable prerequisites for any kind of leftist revolutionary effort, or any large scale human endeavor for that matter, is obtaining money. you want to organize a strike or start a union, you need money to pay your friends who are now out of work and starving. you want to start a big protest on the streets, you need money to pay lawyers and bondsmen and hospital bills when your friends inevitably end up in jail or the emergency room. you want to start an armed insurrection and go to war with cops and national guard and maga militias you need enormous amounts of money to pay for weapons and ammunition and vehicles and fuel and radios and burner phones and medical supplies and rations so your friends don't get massacred. you need a lot of money, and the money has to obtained honestly and ethically, otherwise you cease to be a revolutionary movement and you just become a violent capitalist drug/weapon/human trafficking cartel masquerading as a revolutionary movement and the people you're supposed to be fighting for will despise you even more than the regime. and you need to be able to handle the money without becoming emotionally attached to the money, i.e. you need to be willing to part with the money you worked very hard for and throw it into the pool with everyone else's money and cease to think of it as your money after that, it is now everyone's money and it doesn't matter how much your contribution was compared to anyone else's because it's not your money anymore. and trying to abandon the whole concept of money is not the solution, it's an absurdly unrealistic and lazy copout that simply tries to ignore and sidestep what is ultimately the true source of all of our problems, the fundamental flaw of human psychology that got us into this mess to begin with, which is our lack of emotional maturity when it comes to material wealth. there is no getting out from under capitalism without addressing that core problem, there is no clever shortcut that will allow us to skip ahead to the next level of human social evolution without dealing with our greed and our entitlement and our pettiness. if we can't find any reasonable middle ground between getting high on money and rejecting it outright, between capitalism and utopianism, then we've got more immediate and personal problems to deal with before we can start talking about how to refactor the entire world.

Look, I know picrel is an elaborate troll, but how do we work towards stamping out this way of thinking from the left once and for all?
A lot of people like this just want to be coddled for having XYZ marginalized identity; they’re oblivious to the fact that your identity isn’t what makes you radical, your ACTIONS are. A lot of it seems to stem from the narcissism that’s embedded within late capitalist society: people want “validation” just for existing, they can’t understand nuance or striving for a goal bigger than them, they want instant gratification instead of long-term sacrifice, and they fall into Main Character Syndrome (“what about ME????”).
So how can we tweak our methodology so we can prevent comrades from mentally falling into this way of thinking and thus prevent wrecker behaviour and bean soup bullshit?

The groups said they will stop operations to denounce the Marcos regime’s failure to control fuel prices, which the Oil Deregulation Law allows to rise unchecked. KNETCO said 85% of drivers and operators in Bacolod City are already earning insufficient daily incomes and have been driven into poverty. They will also demand that the Marcos regime remove the value-added tax and excise tax to reduce fuel prices. They will simultaneously push for diesel and gasoline prices to be rolled back to their previous price of ₱55/liter.

‘Forcing a reckoning’: How Asia is preparing for a ‘supersized’ El Niño
In Hong Kong, authorities have already been forced to revise workplace policies, after the city experienced its hottest day on record on 9 August. During times of extreme heat, companies are expected to reschedule work, provide cooling equipment and rest breaks for their employees. Employers in the international financial hub could even face prosecution if they fail to provide staff with support at times of sweltering heat. In mainland China a 100-day campaign has been launched to prepare for extreme weather and help safeguard harvests against the opposing extremes of drought and intense rainfall.

Swiss voters reject stricter neutrality rules that would have curbed Nato cooperation
Swiss voters have decisively rejected a proposal for a strict definition of neutrality that would have required Switzerland to curb cooperation with Nato and abandon sanctions against Russia. All cantons and about 70% of voters rejected the proposal for a strictly defined version of neutrality to be written into the Swiss constitution, final results from the Federal Statistical Office showed. The motion had been promoted by the far-right Swiss People’s party (SVP).

Labour to Nationalise Avanti West Coast Trains After Privatisation Fails
The service is the latest of numerous lines that have either been brought back into public ownership or will be soon, following a pledge by the ruling party to do so ahead of the 2024 election. “Enough is enough. For years, people have been expected to put up with Avanti’s cancellations, delays, overcrowding and a service that has failed them time and time again,” prime minister Andy Burnham said in a statement on Sunday.

5 men arrested near a US-run air base are bailed as UK police probe whether there’s a link to Iran
The men were detained early Sunday after three vans were spotted in the countryside near RAF Fairford, a U.K.-owned base that has been used by American bombers during decades of conflicts in the Middle East, including this year’s war with Iran. Investigators haven’t concluded whether the incident was state-backed. They are investigating a possible link to Iran, Russia or non-state militant groups. RAF Fairford has also been the focus of protests by anti-war campaigners.

Northern Irish standoff extends to second day over blocked Orange Order march
A lawmaker from the Democratic Unionist Party, the largest pro-British party, warned of "profound" consequences if the parade did not proceed in the next two days as Britain's Northern Ireland Minister Chris Bryant sought compromise. "It's not quite clear what that will look like yet but a bit through the mist, I can see maybe what that might look like if I can persuade everybody to sign up," Bryant said after separate talks with the Orange Order, residents and politicians.

Videos circulating online showed flames across parts of the depot as Civil Defence teams worked to contain the blaze. The facility stores and distributes petrol and diesel across El Gezira. Civil Defence said it contained the fire and prevented it from reaching other tanks, with damage limited to the petrol and diesel tanks.

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

Was Stalin responsible for Warsaw destruction the same way he lost Katyn case in Nuremberg?
Dachau and Buchenwald aren't mentioned in the sentencing either, weirdly enough. Auschwitz had an episode of women getting neutered in indictment, but no mention of it in the sentencing. Were the Soviets responsible for all of those, I wonder? Judging by how it is claimed that since Katyn is missing in the sentencing, it means that court refused the accusation
Katyn stuff
Why was Warsaw's destruction not declared a Nazi war crime by Nuremberg? Was it actually destroyed by Soviets? There was no Warsaw destruction listed in court sentence anywhere, despite Poles putting loads of documents for the court to consider, just like Soviets did with Katyn, but were repelled by the court.Was Stalin responsible for Warsaw destruction the same way he lost Katyn case in Nuremberg?
