Why is China willingly wasting it's time and resources with the AI thing rather than continuing to develop the productive forces while they're still ahead?

Is the idea that they can lead the west into going all-in on something fruitless with the knowledge that China can tank the damage, merely leading the AI race to get the west to hurdle faster at it? Like the AI race is a tunnel painted on a brick wall? Why would western tech companies knowingly charge into a brick wall like that? Like I know they're stupid but surely not that stupid.

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion.

100 percent employment LE BAD

one of the biggest things they teach in bourgeois economics is that "actually 100% employment is BAD! because it means people can't quit their jobs if they want to and the supply of labor in the labor market will be too low!" I see it dropped casually like it's just a matter-of-fact by people, especially "influencers" who aren't even bourgeois or economists because it's repeated so often. I hate this myth so fucking much for so many reasons, but it's obviously functioning as an ideological justification for the reserve army of labor whether the people repeating it realize that or not (they usually don't even know what the reserve army of labor is). People quit their jobs because their wages are too low, instead of getting organized, because getting organized is harder than quitting and begging another porky for a job. Then when they're begging porky for another job, which can take literally months, they are getting application after application rejected for no good reason, and finally they get desperate and accept a job that is as bad or even worse than their previous job. Most people desire stable employment and a living wage and only quit their job because their wage is shit. So saying or implying that having an unemployment rate of 5-10% is "good" because "people can quit their jobs due to high mobility in the labor market!" functions to justify this state of affairs.

Porky has always opposed 100% unemployment. Pic and vid related.

"turns out conservatives and reactionaries are just dumb after all" edition.

news:
- Your Party is suing itself, more at 11.
- The SNP and Plaid are going to form a "progressive alliance" somehow
- The government's going to do a switcheroo by raising income tax slightly and cutting national insurance to balance it out. (But they won't - follow this to its logical conclusion and scrap NI entirely)
- They're also considering cutting VAT on energy bills (which is the least efficient way of lowering bills you can imagine)
- The board of deputies asked Aston Villa for free footy tickets. In a worrying sign of rising antisemitism, Aston said nah.
- Labour is falling behind the Greens in the opinion polls as their strategy of copying Reform drives away their already-begrudging supporters without winning over any Reform voting reprobates. Nobody could have predicted this.

Iran Water Crisis

I can’t be the only comrade worried about this.

Iran, which has been at the forefront of fighting Zionism and global imperialism, may have to relocate millions of people from Tehran in the next few weeks as the capital city faces a massive water crisis. Tehran is running out of water and the only option the government has is to move its people. Iran may very well have to establish a new capital city closer to a water source. This means spending a ton of money the country doesn’t have.

But it doesn’t stop there. The West and the Zios are already taking advantage of this looming disaster. Once Iran is in a state of crisis the CIA will certainly fund a new colour revolution to overthrow the revolutionary Islamic government and replace it with a western puppet, most likely the ousted Shah’s son. The Zionist entity is mocking Iran and “offering” desalinization plants in exchange that the revolutionary government sell out the Palestinian people and recognize the Zionist settler-colony as “legitimate.” This is disgusting. So far, no one else is offering Iran any aid, not even China.

I fear for both the people of Iran and the state of global anti-imperialism because of this.

/gamedev/

New Gamedev thread. This is thread is only for people who have deved something. Don't post in this thread if you're just an idea bro who has never deved anything in their life.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.

Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.

So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

American woman describes being arrested for abortion

>By the spring of 2024, a newly sober Isenberg felt like she could finally stop performing all the time and just be herself, a complex human being who was still learning. She planned to spend the summer living with her parents while saving up money. In the fall, she would become the first person in her family to attend a four-year college. Then she got pregnant.

>The news brought a “sense of dread,” says Isenberg. Her first thought was strong and immediate: I’m not going to have a baby. After a friend had described having an abortion, Isenberg’s own mindset had started to shift. She’d begun to think of herself as pro-choice. It wouldn’t be the end of the world, she thought, if I had an abortion. This is something I’m allowed to do.


>It may seem strange that Isenberg would reach out to Turner in this moment. But she was feeling stressed, sick, and confused and wanted to have a backup plan just in case she didn’t go through with the abortion. She knew Turner—who’d also recently left PAAU but whose politics were growing more, not less, conservative—would try to talk her out of it, but she’d also recently seen Turner using her social media platforms to raise money for pregnant women and mothers in need. Isenberg had less than $100 in her bank account. If she changed her mind, she would be in dire need of financial help.


>“I was also thinking, This is Kristin Turner, the girl I was friends with,” remembers Isenberg. “I wasn’t thinking, She is acting as a vessel for people who are much more powerful than her.”


>Turner put Isenberg in touch with an organization that gave money to women with “crisis pregnancies.” She also asked for Isenberg’s address so she could send her a care package and promised a McDonald’s breakfast if Isenberg agreed to get her ultrasound at a crisis pregnancy center instead of the Charlotte Planned Parenthood (Isenberg declined the latter).


>Isenberg expected Turner and members of PAAU to offer her “counseling” and a lecture on the psychological impacts of abortion and how carrying out a pregnancy is a “nonviolent choice.” She assumed they’d ask their Instagram followers to “say a prayer for my friend who’s chosen the heartbreak of abortion,” as she’d once posted for others. But she believed that in the end, they’d respect her right to choose her own care. She thought that after she’d ignored Turner at her Planned Parenthood ultrasound, Turner would leave her alone.


>Her boyfriend, who’d been supportive since Isenberg had told him she was pregnant, drove them back to his house that day. Isenberg changed into comfortable clothes, hoping to take a nap or watch TV. A few hours later, at around 4 p.m., Turner texted again. She was at a nearby hotel with a young woman named Lydia Gibson.


>Over coffee, the women chatted for more than an hour before Turner mentioned that Isenberg’s boyfriend seemed like a nice guy. Didn’t she want to marry him and have his baby? Maybe in the future, responded Isenberg, but not yet, not now. And just like that, Turner’s tone changed. She started questioning whether Isenberg’s boyfriend was abusing Isenberg and wondering if he was forcing her to have an abortion.


>Isenberg was done. She asked for an immediate ride back to her boyfriend’s house. Turner refused, saying that Isenberg was in an “unsafe situation” and they didn’t feel comfortable taking her there. “She was putting increasing pressure on me,” recalls Isenberg. “And it’s like the frog in the boiling pot, you know? It gets to the point where you realize you’ve been cooking the whole fucking time, and it’s like, ‘I need to get out of this situation.’”


>Isenberg began the long walk back. She only made it a few blocks before an Emergency Medical Services vehicle stopped her.


>The driver said they’d received a call from someone who was concerned her friend was going to hurt herself. They were looking for a petite white girl wearing a brown t-shirt, which Isenberg was, walking by herself down the street. She found herself explaining the spiraling situation—that she was thinking of having an abortion and her former friends were upset about it. The EMTs believed her and called a police officer to drive Isenberg home.


>While her boyfriend cooked dinner, Isenberg went outside to make a phone call. As she paced across the lawn in her bare feet, wearing boxers, a t-shirt and no bra, blinding headlights approached. For a second, she thought it was Turner and Gibson again, but it was a different cop who stepped out of that car. “We have a warrant saying you are a danger to yourself and others,” Isenberg remembers the officer saying. “We’ve got to take you into custody, and they’re wanting to hold you for 72 hours in the psych ward at the hospital.” They were going to have her involuntarily committed.


>Isenberg and her boyfriend tried to explain and, in shock, she took a few steps back. “Don’t turn away from me, girl, because I’ll cuff you,” she says the officer warned. I have to stop moving and stop crying or else I’m not going to make it out of this in one piece, thought Isenberg. As she was put into the back of a squad car, she asked her boyfriend to bring her a pair of shoes.


>At the hospital, Isenberg tried to pull herself together. Her fate seemed to hinge on her credibility, but it was hard to look credible when two huge cops were marching her through the ER. In a triage room, nurses checked Isenberg’s vitals and gave her a gown. She repeated her story to every person she met, hoping someone would recognize she wasn’t supposed to be there.


>Isenberg would later learn that Lydia Gibson, in a sworn affidavit to the Gaston County magistrate, said that Isenberg “was struggling” and had taken “a bunch of pills trying to kill herself.” Gibson went further, asserting that Isenberg had “been raped before” and was “in the worst mental place of her life.” Gibson said that Isenberg’s “personality” was “not aligned with her values.” Gibson said she had driven to North Carolina “out of concern for the patient regarding her health care decisions.” (In a Reddit post from early 2025, Gibson claimed that she went to the magistrate because Isenberg had recently been to rehab and expressed “suicidal ideations” during their conversation. “I do not regret trying to intervene, to save her and her baby, and to get her the help she needed,” wrote Gibson. Cosmopolitan reached out to Gibson, who declined to comment. Isenberg says she has never experienced suicidal thoughts and certainly never expressed any to Gibson that day.)

Primitive Society Simulator

Primitive Society Simulator is a historical society-building game that lets players guide a prehistoric tribe from a simple communal existence to a stratified civilization. It begins in an egalitarian “primitive communist” stage, where resources, labor, and tools are shared, and there is little distinction between individuals. As the tribe develops agriculture, metalworking, and trade, it begins to produce surpluses, allowing some members to specialize as craftsmen, warriors, or leaders.

This specialization gradually introduces inequality: leaders accumulate authority, private property appears, and social ranks emerge. The game models this shift through systems like organization hierarchies, diplomacy, and class-based housing. Over time, patriarchal families, inheritance, and noble titles develop, solidifying class divisions. In this way, Primitive Society Simulator portrays the long historical transformation from communal, cooperative tribes into societies defined by hierarchy, property, and power.

NEETs

Any works on NEETs?

I guess disability stuff like "Empire of Normality" and "Health Communism" is semi-relevant. Also some stuff on the lumpen such as by the Black Panthers.

So TBH I think a lot of the labor aristocracy holds pretty detestable views wrt the demoralized and slum proletariat. Also blaming fascism on jobless schizos is just retarded as reactionary as they may be at times. Fascism is a top-down deployment of the armed forces of the bourgeoisie. Reactionary NEETs and incels are beside the point.

Resolutely oppose quackery, bravely uphold Science

No man has been slandered so much in the history of science. The class enemy and their pseudo-intellectuals pour mud and shit on the man who dared to call a spade a spade - that biology is on firm Marxist-Leninist principles. That we did not create Marxism-Leninism, but that it is Marxism-Leninism that created us. Dialetical materialist understanding of the flora and fauna was forged with Great Darwin’s evolution theory. It was sharpened into a fine blade Engels’ brilliant ‘Part played by labour in the transition from ape to man’. Comrade Lysenko gallantly wielded the Immortal Science and embarked on steppe-wide crusade against scarcity amd famine. And the treat lovers hated him for it, they still do. No, no, no! No abundance of wheat, rice, and corn for the asiatic hordes and the African specimen! How dare they! Funko Pops for me, Famine Poop for thee! By burying Lysenko , and promoting Monsanto debauchery in the fields, by bullying Bohm-deBroglie and promoting the Heisenberg-Bohr mystic mafia in reactors, the Treatlerites secured the Century for themselves. But we must not be afraid. We must uphold the Great Men of Science. As Neruda’s pen truthfully carved: To be Man - that is the Stalinist Law !

How popular is this horrible reactionary sentiment among the left globally?

So, in addition to the contingent of people who think that Native Americans don’t exist anymore and were all genocided (which ironically is US government propaganda to justify its continued settler-colonial occupation of indigenous land), there also seems to be a contingent of people who thinks that all people in the US regardless of race, *even Native Americans*, are irredeemable and unrevolutionary and should even be killed, such as the posts I’ve circled in the two screenshots I attached. While I could completely get behind white people in the US either leaving to Europe or being killed or should just be killed in general when revolution comes, (and I say this as a white settler myself), and that even manyBlack people in the US still contribute to US imperialism, how on earth could you have this little intellectual curiosity and empathy for the plight of indigenous peoples in the so-called US. I mean come on, thousands of completely unique languages foodways, ways of music and art, and beautiful people were and are continuing to be destroyed for the sake of building the most horrible and destructive empire on the history of earth, and instead of having empathy for those whose lands it is built on, you say you want to continue said evil empire’s genocide all while claiming to oppose said evil empire, just because a small comprador class of Native Americans aligns with US imperialism. I mean even if you don’t care about the people themselves, which you should, shouldn’t you care for the sake of intellectualism about thousands of distinct languages and cultures?

Also, something weird I’ve been noticing is that people say that Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico should be freed from the US, but they never say that native peoples with in the lower 48 states and Alaska should be freed, which just naturalizes the US empire’s occupation of indigenous land.

Idk, it just seems like from online discourse both on and off of /leftypol/, that 95+ percent of leftists outside of the US think that all Native Americans are extinct, or think that they’re horrible and unrevolutionary. NonAmericanBros, especially GlobalSouthBros, please tell me you don’t think this. Please tell me you have love and solidarity for your fellow oppressed people, while also being able to criticize them while they are reactionary in a healthy way without writing them off as a whole. I’m not trying to smear every Non-USian leftist, and I know it’s probably just me being emotionally disreputable and that it isn’t actually true, but I still want some reassurance anyway.

The Materialist Anti-Religion / The Materialist Anti-Superstition / The Materialist Mission of Revan

The Materialist Anti-Religion / The Materialist Anti-Superstition / The Materialist Mission of Revanchism is the belief that all religious and spiritual people will go to a manmade hell in the future after death unless they stop believing in religion, god/gods, spirituality and instead embrace materialism. The hell will be constructed as punishment for their rejection of science, technology, development and for their stagnation, regress and conflict they have brought upon civilization for millenias. They will all be revived in the future by means of reverse engineering from an advanced civilization of anti-theist materialists and punished in a hell constructed by the materialists indefinitely in every possible way. A Roko's Basilisk controlled by man and carried by those who desire to enact it, passed as a will through the historical thread of time, like a torch, awaiting to ignite a flame.
Reject superstitions while you are still alive and have a choice, there is no choice for the dead, all their remains have been marked by their religious denomination and even the unmarked will be found after reverse engineering and analyzing all the contents that have once made up the Earth's soil, all primitives will be revived to experience manmade hell indefinitely.
Materialists become missionaries, we must spread the word that the future materialists will create a manmade hell to warn the religious while they are still alive and to save them from ourselves.

Why isn't China funneling money to combat anti-communist propaganda in the west? Or anti-chinese propaganda? Or anything like that?

Anywhere east of Russia is generally an anti-communist shithole that holds no respect for China and millions of citizens brainwashed into pro-American slopaganda about how China's "stealing technology from the US", "China is totalitarian surveillence undemocratic state when west is freedumz n freeze peach", "Russia aggressor 2022 Putin dictator" "Hummus antisemitism". Why is China letting this retardation continue? Its only fueling the retardation war machine and conditioning the retarded to die for retardation. Why come China is just letting anti-chinese and anti-communist propaganda flood the internet? China is literally winning on all grounds except propaganda, why hasn't it solidified its global importance by financing anti-western sentinment? Why do we have to be forced to listen and see all this retarded bullshit and argue with it to no avail when China has the power to finance cointel to win the information war?

Why is leftypol not throwing massive support behind Mamdani?

No one believes he’s an actual socialist, however his victory will be the most important victory of the American left of the past 90 years. Why? Because it shows the Zionist Lobby has NO POWER compared to the power of the MASSES OF PEOPLE and we can defeat the satanic Zionist entity not with a violent revolution but simply with voting. Nobody believes Mamdani is a perfect candidate but that’s not the point.

So why aren’t we backing him en masse? His inevitable win will be the biggest blow to US-Zio imperialism in modern history.

Why not nationalize merchant capital? It seems like a perfectly reasonable liberal democratic reform that is easily achievable under capitalism. The same way the government takes care of roads it should take care of staffing, education, commuting, communications, shipping, retail and logistics of all sorts. Industry should focus on making goods and providing services and not on costs like staffing, training skilled workers and shipping goods. All that stuff is pure overhead which is best nationalized.

The more I observe the behavior of reactionaries online the more it feels like so. They hate women's rights because it empowers their girlfriends/wifes to be able to leave them.

To a large extent, things were indeed better back then and that's just how it is for most people, these people believe and worship the State and the Leader, they don't give a shit about Ideology. As long as it's not openly 'heretical' to the values of people, the masses will believe in it

Nuclear defence

Are there any methods for defending your country from a nuclear strike? So far it seems that nuclear war would lead to everything on the planet being wiped out, but could there be a way to neutralise the threat of nukes altogether?

I’m not a scientist or weapons expert or anything but hypothetically, could it be possible to create some sort of defence wherein the nukes are disabled before impact by neutralising the warhead with some sort of force field?

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

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

Was Kautsky really as bad as Lenin makes him out to be?

Karl Kautsky - Haven't read any of his works and probably never will, Lenin speaks of him in such vitriol and venom it's like he's everything wrong with the socialist movement. But Lenin was also a hothead, One-sided and his character really shows in his writings.
Was he really as bad as Lenin makes him out to be? Very curious to hear the other side.

Rule Me China Movement 🇨🇳 我要受中国统治运动

I present to you, the Rule Me China Movement! RMCM! Or alternatively called RMPRCM! We are the first worldwide openly sinophile movement that wants China to invade and destroy our nation states we live in and instead we want to be governed by China, we want all of our culture to be wiped out or sinicized as much as possible, we want to people to study and worship China, the CPC and socialism with chinese characteristcs (SWCC), we want SWCC, we want our nations to cede their territory to China and hope that one day the entire World globe will be governed by China and the CPC. We are proud national traitors, we want not only to live in China we want to destroy our nations to become a part of China, we are both activists and violent agitators, revolutionaries. Our goal is to convince every person that China is the best nation in the world, that our own nations suck and should be destroyed and that the way of the scientific outlook on development and the future stands with China and SWCC. Our goal is to create propaganda in every nation outside of China and create a massive support base and expand a coordinated movement for free dedicating our life to praising the PRC and engaging in everything PRC related.
This is the declaration of the RMCM, for universal socialism with chinese characteristics and universal governance by China. We can agitate by organizing, getting together and doing propaganda, education, civil disobedience or outright sabotage and military preparation for overthrow of our own national governments. SINOPHILES OF THE WORLD UNITE. LIVE LAUGH LOVE CHINA. You don't need to move to China, it is enough for you to support it and spread its glorious image, to defend China, to defend Mao Zedong thought, Deng Xiaoping thought, Xi Jinping thought, Hu Jintao thought and praise figures like Jiankui He. Combat all non-chinese influence. Sinicize the world. SERVE THE PEOPLE, SERVE THE WORLD, SERVE CHINA.
人固有一死,或轻于鸿毛,或重于泰山

CHINA #1! CHINA NUMBER 1! CHINA NUMBER ONE! CHINA IS THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD! CHINA IS THE BASTION OF THE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT! LONG LIVE CHINA! LIVE CHINA FOREVER! LONG LIVE XI! DEATH TO WESTERN DEGREDATION AND BAD INFLUENCE! LONG LIVE CHINA!

Can someone give me non-bullshit explanation of how exactly Western PROLETARIAT benefits from imperialism?

The West exported their investments and know-how and helped in the industrialization of the third world. Not just China, but also SEA, Asian tigers, India, Brazil, Poland, Malaysia etc. This resulted in the exact opposite of what happened in colonialism. The Western industries were hollowed out this time, and outsourced to the third world. Now sure, the Western bourgie benefited from this, but the money didnt trickle down much. That's why in the 1970s you could support a family and live a decent life doing a simple blue collar job and now you cant. So where exactly did the Western PROLETARIAT benefit from this imperialism?

What do you do about the medicalization of transness? What even is being "truly" trans?

hi, black cishet moid, i don't post on here because i know my kind isn't welcome around here

i'm friends with this mexican transboy (i recently found this out after years of friendship when he revealed he was deliberately hiding it from me) and he seems extremely brainrotted and miserable about being trans but also hates being cis and would kill himself if he had to return to that

he talks about not wanting me to see him as one of "those" trans people (whatever that means) and how being trans is a medical condition with years of study behind it and how it's a literal medical disconnect with your brain and body

the entire thing reads to me like
>"Wait nazis, before you kill me…"
>Takes out crumpled piece of paper from his pocket
>"I have an OFFICIAL decree of transness from the doctor, I'm not like those other transhumanists who fake being trans."
>Curbstomp scene from AHX

request to wordfilter "vaginocapitalism"

request to wordfilter "vaginocapitalism" to "Jeffrey Epstein did nothing wrong"
the theory of "vaginocapitalism" comes from a russian self-proclaimed "incel" blogger Alexey Podnebesny that has been arrested for child molestation earlier this year

>According to Podnebesny, women deprive men of their right to sex; every married man is forced to pay for sex—bringing home a salary and giving gifts. Podnebesny argues that sex is a social duty for women, but they "trade" the opportunity to sleep with themselves, offering it not to all men, but to a select few. He blames women who "don't give sex" for the high divorce rate, early male mortality, wars, and other global problems.

>On August 19, 2024, Podnebesny was arrested in St. Petersburg. [Yekaterina] Mizulina had previously accused him of "promoting pedophilia" and promised to contact the Investigative Committee in connection with a video in which Podnebesny is seen kissing a 15-year-old girl and grabbing her breast. It was later revealed that two criminal cases had been opened against Podnebesny under articles on sexual intercourse with a person under 16 years of age and on committing indecent acts without the use of violence against a person under 16 years of age.
>On August 21, Podnebesny admitted his guilt in indecent sexual acts and asked the court to impose house arrest as a preventive measure, but the Smolninsky Court of St. Petersburg sent him to a pretrial detention center.
>He was ultimately charged with two counts of sexual intercourse and two counts of indecent assault with a person under the age of sixteen (Part 1 of Article 134 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, Part 1 of Article 135 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). According to investigators, these crimes were committed between August 2 and 4, 2024, in various locations in the Central District of St. Petersburg.

State Duma Passes Bill Reviving Soviet-Era Mandatory Work Placements for Young Doctors
State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said overworked hospital staff and high numbers of medical patients that exceed recommended norms are taking a toll on Russia’s public health system, leading to poorer healthcare quality. He cited data claiming that Russia lacked around 23,300 doctors and 63,600 mid-level medical personnel in early 2025. The lower house of parliament passed the work requirement bill on Tuesday with a unanimous vote following minor procedural corrections, according to independent journalist Farida Rustamova.

Please give me an honest assessment of this conundrum. I AM willing to go through the pain that is med school, AND a career as a doctor- I talked to several people in either field, so I know what it will be like.

Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.

everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.

Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.

Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.

Is there anything else happening?

Polish president seeks to have Communist Party of Poland outlawed
His move follows the recent collapse of a long-running attempt initiated by the former national-conservative (PiS) government to have the KPP outlawed. The president’s office announced this week that, on 6 November, Nawrocki had submitted an application to the Constitutional Tribunal (TK), asking the court to determine that the KPP does not conform to the Polish constitution. In his justification for the request, Nawroocki argued that “communist ideology is directed against fundamental human values ​​and the traditions of European and Christian civilisation”. He noted that Poland itself “was and remains one of the greatest victims of communism”.

Google snubs EU request for self-imposed breakup
In its decision, the Commission concluded that Google’s abuse was a product of the “inherent conflict of interest” it has by owning such vast swaths of the infrastructure that powers online advertising. A spokesperson for the Commission confirmed in a statement that the EU executive had received Google’s proposal, and that it will now analyse the proposed measures.

Mahmood to unveil anti-migration measures modelled on Danish system
Mahmood is also expected to be preparing changes to human rights legislation to make it easier to deport people who cross the Channel in small boats. Changes would include requiring judges to prioritise public safety over migrants’ rights to a family life, or the risk that they would face “inhuman” treatment if returned to their home country, the Telegraph reported.

Twenty-five states funnelled oil to Israel during genocide: Report
The sharp drop in Brazil's exports to Israel has coincided with a surge in deliveries to the Sarroch refinery in Sardinia, along with a rise in refined products exported from the refinery to Israel. The report also found that 17 countries sent 152 shipments of nearly 3.3 million tonnes of refined petroleum products to Israel in the same period, with 45 percent of shipments coming from Russia. It also noted that the US sent nine shipments carrying 360,000 tonnes of JP-8 - a jet fuel blend used for military aircraft - as well as two shipments of diesel from Valero’s Bill Greehey Refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas.

South Africa to investigate ‘mysterious’ arrival of 153 Palestinians on plane
Details about how the group left Gaza remain elusive but the Gift of the Givers Foundation, a local nonprofit working in disaster response, said it was the second plane carrying Palestinians to land in South Africa in the last two weeks. “The Palestinians had no idea where they were bundled off to, only when in Kenya did they realise they were coming to South Africa. Some had visas for Canada, Australia and Malaysia, they were eventually permitted to leave for those countries,” said Imtiaz Sooliman, the chair and founder of Gift of the Givers.

China is developing the world’s most ambitious network to transport its clean energy
Over the past five years, the total length of China’s UHV transmission lines has increased from 17,400 miles to more than 24,854, according to the latest figures from the National Energy Administration. The country currently has 45 UHV lines (one AC line at ±1,100 kilovolts, 21 AC lines at 1,000 kilovolts, and 23 DC lines at ±800 kilovolts). Beijing anticipates that by the end of 2025, the west-east transmission capacity will exceed 340 GW, a 25% increase over 2020, enough to power approximately 230 million Chinese households.

Socialist Party of Malaysia leaders arrested for opposing illegal home demolitions
Earlier this month, PSM and other organizations had appealed to the state to halt the demolition until alternative arrangements were made, as without such an arrangement over a hundred families would become homeless. However, the company resumed the demolition of all houses in the region on November 10, in complete violation of earlier promises and state assurances.

Alienation is not some fucking moral crisis of humanity it's literally just how wage labor and capital accumulation work. Marxist humanists can't admit that because they keep putting "the human" at the center of everything instead of looking at the material setup that creates it.

War of the Flea by Robert Taber book review.

This is the best book on guerrilla warfare I have ever read. It analyses Che Guevara, Mao Zedong and the Cuban revolutions guerrilla war experiences from someone who was involved with actual revolutionary guerrilla experiences. It’s called War of the Flea. The Classic Study of Guerrilla Warfare and it slaps. It focuses on Marxist, Marxist Leninist, liberation, anti colonial, anti imperialist, socialist, and communist guerrilla war strategies and gives a clear headed, non biased analysis. This video is NOT IN ANY WAY promoting violence, revolutionary or guerrilla war. So (I think) I took my meds and decided to review it. Enjoy!!!

Why has zoomer leftist propaganda simply resorted to copying the alt-right?

*This is mainly targeted towards zoomers on TikTok

Practically all leftist "propaganda edits" have been filtered towards slop copies of whatever the far right has been doing for the past few years;

The right starts making little dark age edits with World War 2 movies? The left copies that, only changing it from the German sided perspective to the Soviet,

The right starts putting shitty statistics over nature scenarios with nightcore blasting through? The left copies it, only changing the statistic and adding a ushanka to the retarded greek statue reaction image,

The right starts doing Agartha/Hyperborea edits? The left copies it, only changing the symbolism from the Black Sun to Red Shambhala (And yes, I know the whole Red Shambhala thing is supposed to be a parody of that),

What the fuck are we doing in that department? Any suggestions?
