>Interview with Lotta Continua 1977, Paul Mattick
Marxism and Terror
>For revolutionaries it is psychologically quite difficult, if not impossible, to raise their voices against the futile application of “revolutionary justice” by terroristic groups and individuals. Even Marx, who despised all forms nihilistic actions, could not help being elated by the terroristic feats of the Russian “Peoples’ Will” As a matter of fact, the counter-terror of revolutionary groups cannot be prevented by mere recognition of its futility. Their perpetrators are not moved by the conviction that their actions will lead directly to social change, but by their inability to accept the unchallenged, the perpetual terror of the bourgeoisie unchallenged. And once engaged in illegal terror, the legal terror forces them to continue their activities until the bitter end. This type of people is itself product of the class-ridden society and a response to its increasing brutalization. There is no sense in forming a consensus with the bourgeoisie and condemning their activities from proletarian point of view. It is enough to recognize their futility and to look for more effective ways to overcome the ever-present capitalist terror by the class actions of the proletariat.>Interview with Lotta Continua 1977, Paul Mattick

It came completely out of nowhere despute the fact that violence with obscure motives has always been a thing yet recently all the news outlets are drumming about it and acting like its an ISIS tier threat.

Yet, I'm a fucking communist. And I need this new position, I desperately need a better wage, so I took the job without a moment of existential crisis, or whatever.
So I would like to axe you guys if you've faced such a dilemma before, and how you resolved the contradictions between the individual and the social, meaning still being a fucking communist, yet having to order proles to "properly" submit to the rule of capital, WHILE trying to maintain… sanity…
On the one hand I feel that I earned this position through my blood sweat n' tears: I was always among the best workers, no matter the job, and I differentiated myself from the rest by delivering the highest quality product, doing it the fastest, being reliable and punctual, etc. Just so it happens that this particular company noticed it and said, "Hey, we need this guy," or, "Hey, what about this guy for this position?"
On the other, I understand – to a degree – being called a "nerd" or an "asslicker" behind my back by my fellow proles. To their criticism (or parody, morelike) I would say that I'm simply not "built" in a way that I could ever possibly do the absolute minimum at a job, so that I get paid what everyone else AND not get fired. It's just not an option for me, on a subjective level. Even at my most boring conveyor-belt job, while working, I was constantly thinking about the work I was doing and how to improve my speed, agility, whatever, while I saw my fellow conveyor-slaves dreaming about whatever, or talking about how the company provided dinner "better be good this time," or whatever. (And I'm not blaming them, tbh. It's an alienated existence, but I think there are cracks and there's luck and then you can break through.)
I'm an intense person, an intense personality.
I hate nothing more at work when the manager tells us: "Production is halted [for some reason], but the cameras are watching, so PLEASE PRETEND to be DOING SOMETHING!" Like, FUCK THAT SHIT! It is in these moments when I think to myself: why am I even here? Just send me back home with the company bus. Stop wasting my time, etc. But when there's work, I'm at the front, pouring my muscles and brainses into it. I become one with the flow. Cynically, I could say, that I actually enjoy my alienation.
Tangent aside, I wanted to ask some practical and, admittedly, moralistic/ethical questions to (ex?-) fellow commie proles and their experiences with managers. Mundane questions, like "what makes a good manager" or "who was the best manager you had, and what qualities made him like so?"
BTW, I've read Lenin before Deng, and our "bordiga-oid" leftcoms still scratch their heads when Lenin says that "we," meaning soviets, need to learn from burger managerial structures, etc. (obv, I'm paraphrasing, and obv., this is from the NEP period…) I'm wondering (and hoping), that somehow, with this managerial path I have taken, I could gather experience that would allow me to shape in a post-revolutionary situation my outlook and perhaps state policies regarding the genre.
As for my inevitable anarcho-tard critics, I would just say one thing, one thing that is based on 5 years of productive labor experience.
Proles work, lumpen-proles, while employed temporarily, work AND steal. I have ZERO problems with my fellow workers lifting completely idiotic, say, hygiene products from the hygiene product factory and either hoarding them at home or running a side (petty) business, selling said articles to an arab petty-bourgeois shop owner, or what-fucking-ever. Good for you, as far as I'm concerned: you substituted your income. The capitalist exploits you, and you found a way to "get back at him," or "get a larger piece of the pie," or whatever. I have no moral qualms about this (inevitable, structural) phenomenon.
HOWEVER, and here we traverse into hypothetical territories, in my labour experience, having "profiled" dozens of these guys and gals who steal from the capitalist workplace, I would say that even IF we had a successful communist revolution, these same motherfuckers would keep stealing from the socialized factories, no matter what.
TL;DR: lumpen is as much a social as a subjective category. If you had no problems with
1) risking your own job every single day (typically, exiting a productive workplace, like a factory, involves searches by a security guy);
2) taking something that is LEGALLY (spooky, and bourgeois, I know) not yours;
3) having these pre-mediated thoughts and strategies and whatnot – I'm trying to emphasize here to subjective investment these coworkers had and have invested in planning stealing OVER planning working …) instead of being an excellent fucking worker (like I was, like I am),
I'm almost certain that you will keep up this habit of yours, a lumpen habit, even after a successful communist revolution. And mind you, I come from an ex-socialist country, and stealing from factories (etc.) was fucking rampant, and back then, basically the shift-leader and the factory bureaucracy and the state-mandated workers union covered your ass if you got caught…….
In any case, and I welcome your input and advice, I know that I should NOT report thieves at the workplace, (DUH!) but I suspect that 95% of these people are anti-social degenerates, who will continue the same behaviour under the lowest stage of communism, socialism.
I guess that is all, for now. Thanks for reading my blogpost, and please give me advice on how to consistently maintain my Marxist conviction WHILE being a manager, a slave-driver, a what-not…

Prole to managerial role @ the workplace -- questions
So, I'm about to become a manager's assistant, and hopefully after some time a manager proper, which is to say – in classical ML lingo, – I'm climbing the ladder from a productive worker's position to that of an overseer, which inevitably means that in terms of objective class positions, I'm moving from the run of the mill prole to one that is in service of capital, namely, my new function will essentially be to ensure an optimal production process, which inevitably involves neat things like "keeping the workplace clean" but more importantly, heightening the rate of exploitation, etc.Yet, I'm a fucking communist. And I need this new position, I desperately need a better wage, so I took the job without a moment of existential crisis, or whatever.
So I would like to axe you guys if you've faced such a dilemma before, and how you resolved the contradictions between the individual and the social, meaning still being a fucking communist, yet having to order proles to "properly" submit to the rule of capital, WHILE trying to maintain… sanity…
On the one hand I feel that I earned this position through my blood sweat n' tears: I was always among the best workers, no matter the job, and I differentiated myself from the rest by delivering the highest quality product, doing it the fastest, being reliable and punctual, etc. Just so it happens that this particular company noticed it and said, "Hey, we need this guy," or, "Hey, what about this guy for this position?"
On the other, I understand – to a degree – being called a "nerd" or an "asslicker" behind my back by my fellow proles. To their criticism (or parody, morelike) I would say that I'm simply not "built" in a way that I could ever possibly do the absolute minimum at a job, so that I get paid what everyone else AND not get fired. It's just not an option for me, on a subjective level. Even at my most boring conveyor-belt job, while working, I was constantly thinking about the work I was doing and how to improve my speed, agility, whatever, while I saw my fellow conveyor-slaves dreaming about whatever, or talking about how the company provided dinner "better be good this time," or whatever. (And I'm not blaming them, tbh. It's an alienated existence, but I think there are cracks and there's luck and then you can break through.)
I'm an intense person, an intense personality.
I hate nothing more at work when the manager tells us: "Production is halted [for some reason], but the cameras are watching, so PLEASE PRETEND to be DOING SOMETHING!" Like, FUCK THAT SHIT! It is in these moments when I think to myself: why am I even here? Just send me back home with the company bus. Stop wasting my time, etc. But when there's work, I'm at the front, pouring my muscles and brainses into it. I become one with the flow. Cynically, I could say, that I actually enjoy my alienation.
Tangent aside, I wanted to ask some practical and, admittedly, moralistic/ethical questions to (ex?-) fellow commie proles and their experiences with managers. Mundane questions, like "what makes a good manager" or "who was the best manager you had, and what qualities made him like so?"
BTW, I've read Lenin before Deng, and our "bordiga-oid" leftcoms still scratch their heads when Lenin says that "we," meaning soviets, need to learn from burger managerial structures, etc. (obv, I'm paraphrasing, and obv., this is from the NEP period…) I'm wondering (and hoping), that somehow, with this managerial path I have taken, I could gather experience that would allow me to shape in a post-revolutionary situation my outlook and perhaps state policies regarding the genre.
As for my inevitable anarcho-tard critics, I would just say one thing, one thing that is based on 5 years of productive labor experience.
Proles work, lumpen-proles, while employed temporarily, work AND steal. I have ZERO problems with my fellow workers lifting completely idiotic, say, hygiene products from the hygiene product factory and either hoarding them at home or running a side (petty) business, selling said articles to an arab petty-bourgeois shop owner, or what-fucking-ever. Good for you, as far as I'm concerned: you substituted your income. The capitalist exploits you, and you found a way to "get back at him," or "get a larger piece of the pie," or whatever. I have no moral qualms about this (inevitable, structural) phenomenon.
HOWEVER, and here we traverse into hypothetical territories, in my labour experience, having "profiled" dozens of these guys and gals who steal from the capitalist workplace, I would say that even IF we had a successful communist revolution, these same motherfuckers would keep stealing from the socialized factories, no matter what.
TL;DR: lumpen is as much a social as a subjective category. If you had no problems with
1) risking your own job every single day (typically, exiting a productive workplace, like a factory, involves searches by a security guy);
2) taking something that is LEGALLY (spooky, and bourgeois, I know) not yours;
3) having these pre-mediated thoughts and strategies and whatnot – I'm trying to emphasize here to subjective investment these coworkers had and have invested in planning stealing OVER planning working …) instead of being an excellent fucking worker (like I was, like I am),
I'm almost certain that you will keep up this habit of yours, a lumpen habit, even after a successful communist revolution. And mind you, I come from an ex-socialist country, and stealing from factories (etc.) was fucking rampant, and back then, basically the shift-leader and the factory bureaucracy and the state-mandated workers union covered your ass if you got caught…….
In any case, and I welcome your input and advice, I know that I should NOT report thieves at the workplace, (DUH!) but I suspect that 95% of these people are anti-social degenerates, who will continue the same behaviour under the lowest stage of communism, socialism.

One of my American moots discussed with me about Christopher Hyatt, Stephen Kershner, and free will, and he did bring up the recent example of Lindsay Clancy and the controversy surrounding her case.
Maverick journo Michael Tracey has already covered the basic facts, so I‘ll skip on reinstating it, and jump onto the meat of the discussion behind this gendered discourse.
For starters, I don’t necessarily agree with the manosphere here, but I do understand their frustration because, more often than not, men get the short end of the stick in civil/family courts which use a lower evidentiary standard compared to supreme courts, especially when it comes to child custody, alimony, child support, divorce, and sex-related charges. Not to mention that society is more lenient towards female criminals compared to their male counterparts even if the crime was done under an episode of psychosis, as demonstrated by gender-based sentencing disparity favoring women over men: https://sp2016dev.law.umich.edu/newsandinfo/features/Pages/starr_gender_disparities.aspx
And yes, I know Michael here isn’t putting a gendered double standard, but still…
Whilst understanding the frustration, I still don’t agree with it as Clancy herself was not only failed by the very institutions she sought help from, but the warning signs (such as her expressing suicidal thoughts) were there long before the filicides. And it’s with that in mind that I think that the gendered discourse is masking something society is far more uncomfortable with.
In the first line of this text, I did mention the names of Hyatt and Kershner, and with good reason as those figures, despite radically different backgrounds (the former being a niche occultist, the latter an academic that got subjected to an investigative committee that outlasted the Warren commission) all hold that free will is a myth. Kirshner elaborated more on his point, making the argument against punishment in general on the basis that he didn't believe in free will, and therefore punishing someone is just punishing someone whose conditions/ biology/mental traits led them to that path and ultimately did nothing but satisfy a need for vengenance.
I feel like the american prison system and the american public have long ago given up the pretense that incarceration is about rehabiliation. If they did believe in it then conditions would be far better and they'd be paired with say doctors, teachers and psychologists to help them see the errors of their ways and how to correct themselves. And this comes into play as the crux of the issue with Clancy is whether:
Now, I do think she is being overcharged, and that she wasn’t in her right mind. It can be a mitigating factor to kill someone in a bout of temporary insanity like being cheated on or "a crime of passion" if sanity is not lost. I think we've lost sight of the fact, because activists on mental health have been quite strident about this point, that legally speaking, going back to the Greeks, the mentally ill are not responsible for their actions. However, this has never been an easy pill for many people to swallow, and people say cliches like "mental illness doesn’t make you racist/bigoted/kill people" when that’s plainly not true. And this is the main contradiction here: Not gender, but people’s general discomfort with the idea that free will may not exist after all (or that neurological factors may make it unethical to overcharge people for crimes they did when they were, for example, under a state of psychosis), and how that relates to crime.
And as we’ve seen with current events, anything that the masses in western society see as being unresolved (regardless of the actual reality) is bound to turn into a culture war, and the case of Clancy is no different.

Joseph Stalin is the most reviled opponent of the liberal bourgeoisie. No one causes more lib seethe than Stalin. The man was also firmly socially conservative and anti-cosmopolitan. And most importantly, he won the fucking war and died on old man at the height of his power, and the Soviet empire he built survived for decades afterwards.
So why is the online right still in love with a miserable loser like Hitler? Why are chinlet shooters and insecure browns still chanting "Hitler was right" instead of embracing the chad superiority of Stalin? Are they just stupid?

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.

a "post-industrial society"
what the fuck kind of nonsense is that shit? like all the food and medicine and clothes and cars and electricity and appliances that we need just fall out of the sky while we move money around in a circle scamming each other and gambling on fairy stories? how did we get here? what the hell happened to our common sense, to our fucking sanity? it's not just the ruling class and the one percent who are like this, it's our whole culture, it's a whole world of delusional entitled narcissists who want something for nothing, from the us president who expects a billion dollars every time someone calls him an asshole, to the youtube influencer who expects a free iphone because he dances around in front of a webcam like a circus clown, to the freelance blogger who expects $10/month from every reader for his ai-assisted pseudointellectual drivel, to the typical small business owner who never even shows his face in the store and just hires teenagers and poor immigrants to run it for minimum wage while he collects passive income, to the "tech entrepeneur" who crowdsources free labor for his open-source software project and then sells it off to some big company at the first opportunity. whatever happens to us in the future when this ponzi scheme we call "civilization" collapses, we deserve every bit of it and then some. we deserve to have our faces under the boot for all eternity for this shit.

From the few bits and pieces I've read on it, their work seems completely irrelevant and stuck in philosophical qualms with no relation to the real world. The hegelian interpretation of Marx reads as a bunch of messianic and idealist garbage that Marx would've condemned.
But what's /leftypol/'s opinion on the matter ?
What are your thoughts on hegelian marxists ?
I've personally approached marx from a more economic perspective and I was surprised to see that some authors treat Marx as primarily a philosopher rather than a social critique.From the few bits and pieces I've read on it, their work seems completely irrelevant and stuck in philosophical qualms with no relation to the real world.

Because no matter who wins the elections, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians will continue. If one of the liberal Zionists wins they will spin somehow to make it seem less evil. With these two they won't be able to pretend that they're not genocidal freaks. Thus hastening international intervention.

Canadian Nuclear Proliferation: NPT withdrawal
An electronic petition with as few as 500 signatures could be considered for review by the House of Commons. It's time for one of us to create a petition demanding that Canada withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The time is right for this. The Canadian public is fed up and forcing Canada's parliament to respond to a petition with enough signatures and a member of parliament's endorsement would deepen the Western rupture.

The government of Rodrigo Paz has deployed Police and Military units after the announcement of road blockades in different areas of Bolivia. In June this year, the government issued a decree to deploy the repression forces of the State before popular protests, such as the road blockades. Therefore, the government imposed a state of exception, which is still ongoing and will last another 22 days.

Venezuela: Opposition Lawmaker Ecarri Proposes Dollarization Plan

U.S. close to striking "massive" deal for Venezuelan oil fields
The historic deal would more than double U.S. oil reserves by drawing from a country that has the world's largest proven reserves. "Calling this deal huge would be an understatement," one of the officials said. "It is massive." Adding pressure to get the deal signed: the wars in Iran and Ukraine, which have disrupted global oil supplies and raised prices.

Chad accuses Sudan of cross-border strike, raises alert level
Chad has accused neighbouring Sudan of carrying out an air strike that hit a military convoy in its territory last week, and has raised its alert level in the area to its highest point, a security source said. Sudan said on Thursday it was surprised its army had been blamed for the attack without an independent investigation, and that its forces were working to protect its sovereignty.

French presidential candidates clash at first debate before upcoming elections
hard-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon urged business leaders to "raise wages" to prevent France from "falling into recession" and slammed "tax giveaways" under Macron which he alleged equalled the sum of the entire deficit. Centrist hopeful Édouard Philippe, a former premier under Macron, accused Melenchon of seeking to "burn" France's debt and take steps that would "result in France being shut out of the banking system".

Residents denounce Bulacan barangay officials' repression
Since August 21, the barangay has banned and blocked the entry and exit of vehicles residents use for their livelihood. The vehicle is loaded with plastics that residents collect, clean and sell to a factory in the city center. Residents said the barangay gave no notice at all regarding the policy. The abrupt ban deprived them of their means of livelihood. The barangay also included a ban on bringing bottled water into the community. They said these measures violate their rights to land, settlement and livelihood.

Military Deployment in Bolivia’s Roads Anticipating New BlockadesThe government of Rodrigo Paz has deployed Police and Military units after the announcement of road blockades in different areas of Bolivia. In June this year, the government issued a decree to deploy the repression forces of the State before popular protests, such as the road blockades. Therefore, the government imposed a state of exception, which is still ongoing and will last another 22 days.

U.S. close to striking "massive" deal for Venezuelan oil fields
The historic deal would more than double U.S. oil reserves by drawing from a country that has the world's largest proven reserves. "Calling this deal huge would be an understatement," one of the officials said. "It is massive." Adding pressure to get the deal signed: the wars in Iran and Ukraine, which have disrupted global oil supplies and raised prices.

French presidential candidates clash at first debate before upcoming elections
hard-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon urged business leaders to "raise wages" to prevent France from "falling into recession" and slammed "tax giveaways" under Macron which he alleged equalled the sum of the entire deficit.

Residents denounce Bulacan barangay officials' repression
Since August 21, the barangay has banned and blocked the entry and exit of vehicles residents use for their livelihood. The vehicle is loaded with plastics that residents collect, clean and sell to a factory in the city center. Residents said the barangay gave no notice at all regarding the policy. The abrupt ban deprived them of their means of livelihood. The barangay also included a ban on bringing bottled water into the community. They said these measures violate their rights to land, settlement and livelihood.

The American question is: how does a settler-imperialist nation transform itself into a decolonized socialist commonwealth without either reproducing the imperial form or fragmenting into balkanized enclaves that allow capital to reconstitute, while resolving the contradictions of internal colonization and liberating its external colonies, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

>I love my country but it does not yet exist editionThe American question is: how does a settler-imperialist nation transform itself into a decolonized socialist commonwealth without either reproducing the imperial form or fragmenting into balkanized enclaves that allow capital to reconstitute, while resolving the contradictions of internal colonization and liberating its external colonies, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

i am looking to build a low-cost sacrificial CMOS sensor test rig. interested in characterizing how permanent sensor degradation propagates through an image pipeline and eventually causes OCR failure. not primarily interested in temporary saturation/blinding. the question is where the functional threshold actually occurs after persistent sensor damage accumulates.
>Hardware
Raspberry Pi 4 as controller and replaceable CSI camera modules. IMX477 HQ Camera as primary test sensor IMX296 global-shutter comparison. IMX219 as cheap disposable baseline. interchangeable optics, fixed hardware and software baseline.
>Optical source
controlled, wavelength-defined laser source. output will be measured and recorded to construct a reproducible guide. fixed image sensor mounting and consistent exposure intensity and angling analagous to real world conditions. treat each camera module as a sacrificial test article. the goal is the destruction of optical recognition capabilities in a reproducible and on-the-go formula.
>Software
Raspberry Pi OS/libcamera OpenCV + NumPy Tesseract + PaddleOCR RAW + processed-frame capture automated OCR against a standardized text target
>Goal
log dead/stuck pixel count, persistent defect distribution saturation/clipping noise/SNR contrast and edge degradation OCR confidence character error rate / word error rate
>tl;dr
baseline sensor, controlled exposure, capture RAW + processed frame, run OCR, map persistent defects, repeat with fresh sensor
The interesting result is the curve:
sensor degradation → image-quality degradation → OCR error rate
rather than simply declaring the camera “dead” when OCR first fails.
Looking for recommendations on Pi-compatible sensors that would make useful analogues for higher-end commercial OCR/machine-vision cameras, particularly sensors with RAW access and well-documented characteristics.

The shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt toward individual responsibility and the presumption of innocence was gradual rather than revolutionary. In many ancient and medieval societies, families, clans, villages, or entire communities could be held liable for the actions of one member, and accused individuals often had to prove their innocence through oaths, ordeals, or social standing. These proofs were often ritual in nature and lacked scientific rigor. Over centuries, especially under the influence of Roman legal principles, canon law, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and liberal constitutionalism, legal systems increasingly emphasized that guilt should be based on evidence against a specific individual rather than group affiliation. Thinkers such as Beccaria and Blackstone argued that protecting the innocent from wrongful punishment was more important than maximizing convictions, leading to higher standards of proof, formal rules of evidence, due process, and the modern principle that the prosecution bears the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Despite these legal prohibitions, governments and armed groups have at times been accused of imposing measures that amount to collective punishment, especially during wars, occupations, and counterinsurgency campaigns. Whether a specific case qualifies is often legally and politically disputed.
The transformation from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual liability and the presumption of innocence was driven largely by changes in state capacity and legal administration. As governments became stronger, more centralized, and more bureaucratic, they relied less on kinship groups to police their own members and more on professional courts, investigators, and judges. Improved record-keeping, forensic methods, written legal codes, and standardized procedures made it increasingly feasible (but not necessarily easy) to determine who actually committed an offense, reducing the perceived need to punish families or communities collectively. At the same time, expanding commerce and more diverse populations required legal systems that were universalist in nature, and treated strangers as individuals under uniform rules rather than as second class citizens, gradually making individualized justice and procedural safeguards the foundation of modern law.
From a class and economic perspective, the shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual responsibility can be understood as a consequence of the rise of market economies and capitalist social relations. Collective liability was well suited to feudal and kin-based societies, where obligations were shared by households, villages, and estates, but it impeded commerce by making contracts and property rights unpredictable. As merchants, urban aristocracy, and later industrial capitalists gained influence, they demanded legal systems that treated people as autonomous individuals capable of owning property, entering contracts, and being held liable only for their own actions. The resulting legal order replaced inherited collective responsibility with individualized rights and duties, not simply out of humanitarian concern, but because wage labor, private property, investment, and impersonal markets functioned more efficiently when legal responsibility was attached to discrete individuals rather than families, classes, or communities.
However, there is a problem which persists. Engels' concept of "social murder" refers to the idea that when a social and economic system predictably produces premature death through poverty, unsafe working conditions, malnutrition, or inadequate housing, those deaths are not mere accidents but the foreseeable consequences of institutional arrangements. Under this interpretation, responsibility is diffuse rather than individualized: no single capitalist or official commits murder in the ordinary legal sense, but the ruling class collectively maintains a system whose predictable effects include preventable deaths. Should the ruling class be collectively punished for this crime, potentially undermining or reversing the the historical changes described above? Furthermore, are not the proletariat themselves being collectively punished by the bourgeoisie for the crime of being poor?
One could argue that this represents a functional return of collective punishment, despite the formal triumph of individualized criminal law. Modern legal systems generally reject punishing innocent individuals for another person's crimes, yet they often tolerate economic institutions that systematically expose entire classes to greater risks of illness, violence, and early death based on their socioeconomic position. In that sense, the poor may experience harms not because of anything they individually did, but because they belong to a structurally disadvantaged class. The "punishment" is not imposed by a judge but by social and economic arrangements.
Bourgeois apologists argue that collective punishment involves intentionally imposing penalties on innocent people for the actions of others, whereas poverty-related harms arise from impersonal market processes, policy tradeoffs, historical contingencies, or individual choices rather than a deliberate punitive intent. From this perspective, calling these outcomes "collective punishment" obscures important distinctions between legal sanctions and structural inequality.
Collective Punishment Versus Individual Responsibility
Today most legal systems nominally reject collective punishment, emphasizing individual responsibility. It is also prohibited in armed conflict under international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. This was not always the case. The Athenian Draco is remembered for harsh laws, from which we get the word "Draconian" but one of his major reforms was to replace private blood feuds with state-administered justice. Before his code, killings were often avenged by the victim's family, leading to cycles of retaliation.The shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt toward individual responsibility and the presumption of innocence was gradual rather than revolutionary. In many ancient and medieval societies, families, clans, villages, or entire communities could be held liable for the actions of one member, and accused individuals often had to prove their innocence through oaths, ordeals, or social standing.

Why do internet leftists glaze over failures so much?
Exmples of what I mean:- Black Panther Party - aimed to destroy the US and bring communism, did nothing notable, disbanded after being targeted by the state they wanted to destroy. Online leftists say they did nothing wrong and blame the evil capitalist US for not letting a bunch of dudes destroy itself.
- The USSR - a system that almost died in late 1960s but was saved by oil prices. When oil prices dropped back down it also died. Thoughout its existence it was plagued by internal issues, corruption, censorship, and Dubai style megaprojects.
- Concept of "Late stage capitalism" - the term was coined over 100 years ago and it implies that capitalism is heading towards collapse soon™. Since then capitalisn has transformed multiple times but it is still "late stage" and this time it is definitely going to collapse. (dont look at parallels with christian latter days)

The goal of Communists is to seize power for the working class. That means elevating the consciousness of the working people to see that their welfare and survival can only be secured by political means. Why are so many of you fuckwits so allergic to power that you think shitting on a figured universally beloved by that working class is a good idea?
Yes, there is a time and a place to discuss how celebrities can be tools to support Imperialism and Capitalism. That time and place is not fucking now. Maybe you're right, she did support Imperialism by being a sex symbol for "da troops" or whatever. Can you retards not grasp that saying that shit NOW doesn't make you a based and principled revolutionary, it makes you look like an unhinged lunatic. You're not just being a contrarian dickhead, you're being a shit Communist, and the entire movement would be better off without you.

I want to believe that they're bot/shill threads because all the replies are ridiculously stupid, uninteresting, and half of the time a thread will have 200-300 replies with not a single post addressing the OP image. A couple of days ago I saw a thread with the twitter account "End Wokeness" complaining about the DSA being dangerous, and only about 4 out of 250 replies even addressed the fact that End Wokeness is an Orthodox Zionist Jew (which should be common knowledge on a board which screams about da joooooz all day, but not for LLMs which can't parse the text in the OP image). I just saw this thread now and it made me unbelievably pissed off. Not a single person for dozens of replies pointed out that historically a bunch of socialist leaders (Mao, Pol Pot, many of "da joooooz" in Russia who were part of the Middle Class Intelligentsia with animosity against Christian Tsarist autocracy) were part of the petit-bourgeoisie, urban skilled professions or came from families wealthy rural landowners (which is how they got enough education to become socialist activists in the first place).
Plus, the average person with no money is literally a wageslave with no time, no connections and no resources to be heard by other people/media. Why wouldn't socialist organisers disproportionately be people with some amount of money, just like a ton of the alt-right personalities were? Only so many people can become political talking heads by being viral streamers, and even then they can only get so far unless they can afford to make it their full-time pursuit (which involves money). And on top of that, what radical Union organisations does the USA even have that exist in the consciousness of the average zoomer? What do these people fucking want, John Henry?
This has to be a concerted effort to spam discussion about the DSA on that dead board, it's not possible so many people can be so inane and stupid for hundreds of posts on end. Can somebody explain to me why exactly there is a shill war between the DSA and MIGAtards on the dead website that is 4cuck?
Why does 4/pol/ have bot threads arguing over the DSA?
Can the top minds of this leftist board please fill me in on why /pol/yps' dead board is full of bot threads arguing either for or against the DSA?I want to believe that they're bot/shill threads because all the replies are ridiculously stupid, uninteresting, and half of the time a thread will have 200-300 replies with not a single post addressing the OP image. A couple of days ago I saw a thread with the twitter account "End Wokeness" complaining about the DSA being dangerous, and only about 4 out of 250 replies even addressed the fact that End Wokeness is an Orthodox Zionist Jew (which should be common knowledge on a board which screams about da joooooz all day, but not for LLMs which can't parse the text in the OP image). I just saw this thread now and it made me unbelievably pissed off. Not a single person for dozens of replies pointed out that historically a bunch of socialist leaders (Mao, Pol Pot, many of "da joooooz" in Russia who were part of the Middle Class Intelligentsia with animosity against Christian Tsarist autocracy) were part of the petit-bourgeoisie, urban skilled professions or came from families wealthy rural landowners (which is how they got enough education to become socialist activists in the first place).
Plus, the average person with no money is literally a wageslave with no time, no connections and no resources to be heard by other people/media. Why wouldn't socialist organisers disproportionately be people with some amount of money, just like a ton of the alt-right personalities were? Only so many people can become political talking heads by being viral streamers, and even then they can only get so far unless they can afford to make it their full-time pursuit (which involves money). And on top of that, what radical Union organisations does the USA even have that exist in the consciousness of the average zoomer? What do these people fucking want, John Henry?
This has to be a concerted effort to spam discussion about the DSA on that dead board, it's not possible so many people can be so inane and stupid for hundreds of posts on end. Can somebody explain to me why exactly there is a shill war between the DSA and MIGAtards on the dead website that is 4cuck?

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

You know there are actually two NATO's?Class A NATO and Class B NATO.

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?

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

A councillor chosen by the ANC branch under the Madibeng municipality is being rejected by the party in favour of another candidate, prompting some community members to push for their preferred candidate to contest the ward under the South African Communist Party (SACP) banner. Councillor John Raletele has been approached to stand as an SACP candidate after the ANC moved to reject his nomination for another term as ward councillor in Madibeng.

Dozens killed in rebel attacks on Sudan’s Kordofan, medical group says
A medical organisation has accused a Sudanese rebel group aligned with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of killing 27 people, including four children, in the southern province of South Kordofan. In a statement on Tuesday, the Sudan Doctors Network said the killings were carried out by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM-N) in Qardud and Abu Hamama, areas inhabited by the Otoro tribe in South Kordofan.

US designates Palestine Action activist group 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist'
Wednesday's decision comes a year after the United Kingdom banned the group for damaging materials at weapons factories run by Elbit Systems. Elbit is a key provider of weapons to the Israeli military, which has for nearly three years carried out what the United Nations and Holocaust scholars have called a genocide in the Gaza Strip. Palestine Action is now sanctioned in the US "for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods and services to or in support of, an act of terrorism", the Department of the Treasury said in a statement.

Türkiye: Attacks on Kurdish seasonal farm workers and chauvinist provocations in football stadiums
According to press reports, the incident began with what was described as “a quarrel among young people.” The area where the workers were staying was then pelted with stones, and the vehicles carrying them as they set out to leave the village came under attack. Footage circulated on social media shows a large crowd attacking workers riding in the bed of a pickup truck, among them children. In further footage obtained by the Mezopotamya Agency, the attackers can be heard shouting at the workers: “Starving dogs, is there no work in your own homeland?”

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.

< And then finally, in 2020, there’d been “Gabriel” in California, the infiltrator who everyone really liked. They had been heartbroken to learn Gabriel, an Iraq War vet built like a brick shithouse, was a secret anti-fascist. Looking back, it made some sense: Gabriel, after all, had always insisted on leading combat trainings, using group sparring sessions as a ruse to beat the shit out of different members, giving some concussions.

Most 14f breaking post and idpol tends to follow this format anyway, so when those are not themselves grounds enough for some reason, this seems like a reasonable measure against over-lenience on those fronts.

> If you want to be really esoteric, Marxism is advanced feudalism.
No. Marxism is not advanced feudalism. Feudalism is predicated on aristocrat-serf class relations, whereas Marxism is predicated on the elimination of class relations. On what planet could one possibly come to the "esoteric" conclusion that Marxism is "advanced feudalism?" Even assuming this is inspired by that dumb pop-Economics book from Yanis Varoufakis (Technoefeudalism) that is not even his hypothesis. His hypothesis is that the capitalist countries are becoming Technofeudal, not the AES countries. I am honestly baffled by this take and thought it deserved its own thread, because I did not want to derail the thread I found it in. Where are people getting this idea? Is there a common source for this revision or is it arising out of pure vibes?

Similar to the /tv/ thread on hobby.
I'll start:
Manga: Kingdom
It's alot of fun, currently on chapter 430.
Despite the restriction of it being in the past, there's alot of strategy/complication that makes it interesting to read.
And the manga is fun in the fact that it has shoenin level power clashing and hyping of characters – but still respects reality.
Like a character being healed after a fight is explained by months or even years of a time skip, or when situations where "talk-no-jutsu" would've occurred in shoenin, instead the person ranting is just meant to understand the world more before they die.
I am reading some others as well, like: Vinland Saga, One Piece, Watamote, and a few others – just been alittle addicted to Kingdom.
(I should catch up with One Piece though.. I'm 110 chapters behind with it).
Anime on the other hand, nothing.
Though I've been feeling nostaligic for Bobobo, will probably watch in half a years time.
Also if this thread has alot of replies, pin it as a thread to update in when you visit the board.

NH-01 DSA candidate Heath Howard suspends campaign
Here in NH, a pro-Palestine DSA candidate, Heath Howard, who is also a disabled comrade, was hounded out of the primary race by progressive influencers for "transphobia".

Am I crazy for thinking this?
One of my core political positions and personal values since I was a literal child is that any kind of violence and coercion is way worse when accepted and normalized or state sponsored. I can accept rape, murder, and torture as facts of life that are impossible to eradicate as long as the public is strongly opposed to it and the state cracks down on it. What disturbs and enrages me to the point of wanting to hurt people is when people become accepting of it and even worse when the state starts practicing it. A cruel criminal needs to be turned around and the community needs to be protected from him. A government oficiall that authorizes torture and degradation of a person ought to be shot on sight. The visceral reaction i get from normalized barbarity is so strong that its almost knee-jerk. I wonder if there is anyone else who thinks like this or if im a genuinely insane.

All societal systems that have existed since humans became sedentary roughly 10,000 years ago are fascist. Before that, for nearly 95 percent of our species’ 300,000-year history, humanity lived in hunter-gatherer or forager societies. These communities had no permanent hierarchies, no inherited positions of power, no state institutions and no ruling class at all: decisions were made through collective consensus, and people with particular experience or skill held only temporary authority rooted in mutual respect, never the power to coerce others. They were entirely classless and egalitarian, with land, tools and hunting grounds held as common property, food distributed according to need, and no exploitation of one group’s labour by another. There was no organised state violence, no standing armies and no large-scale warfare between communities; internal conflicts were resolved through mediation rather than repression. Gender relations were broadly equitable too, as women’s foraging work supplied 60 to 80 percent of most groups’ food supply, earning them equal social standing. Groups were small and flexible, usually made up of 20 to 50 related people. This form of organisation is known as primitive communism: the default way humans lived for almost all of our history, before sedentism gave rise to the fascist systems that have defined every society ever since.

IN HONOR OF LEADER ANTOUN SAADEH
The man who was martyred 77 years ago killed by an overall conspiracy was not an average person . He was the man who was inspired and had an insight , and who positioned himself from where he could secure the future of his people. He is among those who will not be satisfied by merely existing . His whole being and existence revolved around his people. His name is Antoun Saadeh called also the Leader , a title he earned with everything that goes with it . Not only he was fought and set up by the colonialist predators and their local clientele in the mid of the previous century, but after his martyrdom , all about him was obscured and camouflaged and even buried . He presented a real threat because people felt affinity with him and trusted him and were inspired by him . He was the man who lead the Renaissance proper to our area after WWI and WWII , when the region was meeting so many challenges that range from identity to independence . This was when the Ottoman Empire collapsed, and the colonialists were starting dividing the empire among themselves, and also creating the vicious state of israel , and planting it in the heart of the Arab world.
Leader Saadeh immediately felt the threat , and decided that the people of this area should claim what is theirs, and before they do this, they should know their identity and find out who they are and the common ground which they share or their natural belonging and natural habitat, and accordingly, claim what is theirs before they fall a prey to the conspiracies that seek to divide the area according to the colonial ambitions .. Religion can no more be a Reference thought leader Saadeh after the fall of the Ottoman Empire because the inhabitants of this area are multi cultural , multi religious and multi lingual , and there is need to define what a nation is in all its variety , and to defend this nation and its borders, and secure its sovereignty and unity and independence . It was an attempt at preventing that the identity of the people be lost for ever and an attempt at retrieving this identity .
The people should retrieve their identity – thought Saadeh- Greater Syria being the nation to which those belong , and it is located in what has been known as the Fertile Crescent , in the heart of the Arab World , being also an intrinsic part of this world . Saadeh knew from experience and from his life in Latin America in its attempt at breaking loose from the colonizer that freedom is NOT an individual Issue but a National Issue , and only a Free Nation can grant Freedom to its people and to the individuals and not the other way . No doubt , Leader Saadeh was deeply inspired by Simone Bolivar and other nationalists from Latin America . As a Nationalist , he was wrongly associated with Hitler or with the fascists , and this was a demonization campaign that targeted him and wanted to harm his spotless reputation as a spotless leader and tarnish his image and distort his message.
All what he professed was built on historical evidence and historical facts , and he did not invent anything when he said : SYRIA (meaning Greater Syria) BELONGS TO THE SYRIANS, AND THE SYRIANS ARE AN INTEGRAL NATION . It was a Truth that he discovered . For this, he had to pay his life , because what he discovered and called for went against all the colonialist schemes that had for purpose to tear apart this region and set Religions against one another and create the usurping state of israel about which Saadeh warned very early as a real immanent threat, as he warned against the Gulf countries role in making the creation of israel possible .
It is now that we are discovering that every word he said was true . He called for unity solidarity and above all Ethics . The essence of the Nation is Ethics, . His message did not remain unheard, and his Party – the Syrian Social Nationalist Party- was the largest in number, and so many people rallied around him from all categories and classes because he represented the Spirit of the Nation . The predators of course who wanted to carry on their vicious scheme of Sykes Picot and Balfour conspired against him , and their agents delivered him to the local Lebanese Authorities who sentenced him to death without trial and executed him at the dawn of June the 8th 1949 . He died full of dignity for he never feared death because he knew that the Nation will survive him, and he did not have the least doubt about it .
He had foreseen the future when he said : I see ranks in perfect order and harmony proceeding towards the goal , and this is what we are seeing now in Hizbullah who is the real expression of the aspirations of leader Saadeh , one of the most honorable leaders that this Nation has ever witnessed, and who used to say LIFE IS ONLY A DIGNIFIED STAND . It is this dignity that we see in the Resistance Leadership and Freedom Fighters , and if the Resistance has an Origin , no doubt that Leader Saadeh is one of these origins despite the fact that he was a secular leader of a secular Party where Religion is a private individual matter and a personal Relation to God His secularism was never anti Religion but was anti colonialist . It is in the Resistance that the real message of Saadeh finds life , and this is something that no one can deny , and it is the Resistance that qualified to carry this message whereby Leader Saadeh’s vision turned out to be true.
IN HONOR OF LEADER ANTOUN SAADEH
The man who was martyred 77 years ago killed by an overall conspiracy was not an average person . He was the man who was inspired and had an insight , and who positioned himself from where he could secure the future of his people. He is among those who will not be satisfied by merely existing . His whole being and existence revolved around his people. His name is Antoun Saadeh called also the Leader , a title he earned with everything that goes with it . Not only he was fought and set up by the colonialist predators and their local clientele in the mid of the previous century, but after his martyrdom , all about him was obscured and camouflaged and even buried .

Zvi Sukkot, a member of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party, was filmed smashing the Palestinian Martyrs' Monument in the village of Madama, south of Nablus, with a sledgehammer. In a video posted to Facebook, Sukkot said the memorial commemorated two Palestinians who had killed Israelis and argued that it could not be allowed to remain. “We must take it down,” he said, adding that he wanted the memorial destroyed because children growing up in the village and passing it would be inspired to become “martyrs” themselves.

Montreal adopts 'diluted' Palestine motion, rejects push to become first N. American city to cut Israel ties
The amended motion placed greater emphasis on diversity and inclusion in Montreal while removing most references to genocide and calls to sever ties with Israel. However, it reaffirmed the council's "solidarity with the Palestinian people" and with civilian victims of conflicts in the Middle East, as well as its commitment to international law. In addition, the final version of the motion was amended to highlight condemnation of the 7 October attacks on Israel, and stated that Jewish and Israeli people in Montreal must not be held responsible for the actions of the Israeli government.
