My main argument is that racists are given platforms to spread pseudo-science but basically no real scientists fights them out of fear of being grouped in with them and losing their reputation. No respected biologist wants to be known as the "racism debate guy" and this creates a lack of pushback.
I have yet to find a single intelligent "race realist", it's pretty much all ramblings about supposed hatred against whites and jewish conspiracies. On the flip side however I have not found any serious intellectuals actually contending with these ideas. Real scientists seem to not care about this topic whatsoever. Race "realists" are given free roam to spread propaganda with zero pushback.
Basically what I'm asking for is what are some intelligent discussions on biology in the context of race. The only really decent *popular* video I've seen is "the bell curve" by shaun but shaun is not a scientist and one video is not enough. There was another guy who I remember made good videos debunking these ideas but he had a heavy accent (perhaps german?) and I have not been able to find him since.
>It's because of censorship that this topic is not debated more!
I think the censorship angle actually works to the benefit of the racist as they are allowed to spread propaganda with zero recourse while an actual scientist engaging with them marks them to be endlessly harassed and looked down upon by other intellectuals for giving a racist a platform.
>I'm from /pol/ and race is real because of this chart I saw
I want someone with an actual interest in science not a 15 year old who just found out dylann roof exists.
Arguments on race "realism" and the one-sidedness of it all

On Sunday, the demonstration in Jalisco ended in clashes between riot police and participants who were trying to reach the governor’s residence. The organizing groups reported that four people remained missing and that journalists were also affected during the protest in Guadalajara, Mexico’s second-largest city, with more than 4 million residents.

Cubans turn to free community pharmacies as medicines grow scarce
“Cuba has a medical-pharmaceutical industry that we consider strong,” María Fernández Martínez, head of the province’s pharmacy company, told the official newspaper Granma. But without supplies, “not even the most capable factory can complete the cycle.” The government also struggles to obtain packaging such as blister packs and bottles and says U.S. financial sanctions complicate payments for imports. Cuban authorities say shipments of medical supplies have also been stranded in third countries because shipping companies fear U.S. penalties for calling at Cuban ports.

Lawyers and opposition challenge Milei’s citizenship-by-investment scheme as unconstitutional
In Congress, the opposition has filed requests for information and bills to repeal it. “It is unacceptable for Argentina to put its citizenship up for sale,” said Peronist deputy Agustín Rossi, a former defence minister, who called the proposal “classist” and argued it is aimed at attracting billionaires seeking to avoid restrictions that apply to foreigners, such as on buying land.

India’s voter list protests continue to escalate
Ahead of the march, authorities closed six metro stations in the capital on Monday and warned of traffic disruptions. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi of the Congress party described the growing protests as a fight to defend the constitution. “We will not back down,” he told reporters in New Delhi. Mr Gandhi is seeking to turn the protests into a broader challenge to the country’s increasingly authoritarian prime minister.

Pakistan accuses suspended provincial government of colluding with militants
Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar said the provincial government had been suspended for at least six months but gave no timetable for lifting the emergency. Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, the province’s top elected official, was in government custody after being removed from his position. The information minister accused Afridi of facilitating the Pakistani Taliban, who are suspected of being behind a surge in violence in recent years. Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, is a separate group but a close ally of the Afghan Taliban, who returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021.

Germany: Labor Minister's resignation leaves the government in turmoil
However, she also cited "the public attacks against me — unfortunately, including some from within the ranks of our coalition partner" as reasons for her resignation. In fact, the pressure on Bas increased significantly in recent days. The centrist coalition government is urgently awaiting key legislative proposals from the Ministry of Labor. Before the summer recess in July, a commission had already presented comprehensive proposals for reforming Germany's statutory pension system. The coalition partners of SPD and the center-right Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) wanted these proposals to be quickly turned into legislation. To date, however, no finalized drafts have been presented.

Ex-director in charge of Grenfell cuts no longer at senior council role following backlash
During the Grenfell inquiry, she was heavily criticised over her role in the budget-cutting decisions before the blaze. It found that she pushed for a new contractor to carry out the tower’s renovation on a lower budget, which ultimately meant metal cladding was swapped for combustible plastic-filled panels to save money. Over the summer, she was appointed director of development and property at the Barnet Group, which manages the borough’s 13,000 council homes, on a salary of £157,078.

Displaced families occupy vacant homes in Ras Al-Ain for compensation as committees order evacuation of Kurdish properties
Dozens of displaced families from Deir Ezzor, Al-Raqqah, and Al-Hasakah have recently moved into vacated houses in Ras Al-Ain. SOHR sources report that these families took over the properties to secure financial payouts, which are being offered to occupants in exchange for vacating the homes so the original owners can return.

The security sources said the PKK had from last Thursday withdrawn from the Hebat, Yajk, Sabri and Sason camps in the Baze district of Iraq's Metina region in evidence that the peace process was pressing ahead. Once it ceased all activities, PKK members could join social integration programmes in education, economic and other areas as part of the legal framework for disbandment, the sources added.

Egypt’s press union chief rejects pressure over detained journalists
Egyptian prosecutors have accused the six journalists of working for a media organisation tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, a group Egyptian authorities have cracked down on for years following a 2013 coup against democratically elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who was a member. Egypt has officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a “terrorist” group, an allegation the organisation has strongly denied, while human rights groups have accused Egyptian authorities of repressing freedoms.

I enjoyed reading Mein Kampf to laugh at Hitler's chuddery:
>My knowledge of the trade-union organization at that time was zero. I could have proved neither its usefulness nor its uselessness. As I was told I must join, I refused. I gave as my grounds that I did not understand the situation, but would not be forced to do anything whatever. Perhaps the former was the reason why they did not throw me out at once. They may have hoped they could convert me or wear me down within a few days. In any case they were deeply mistaken. But within a fortnight I had reached the end of my ability, even if I had wanted to go on. In that fortnight I came to know my surroundings better, so that no power in the world could have forced me to join an organization whose members I had seen in such an unfavorable light. The first few days I was annoyed. At noon some of the men went to near-by public-houses, while others stayed on the lot, and there consumed a (usually quite pitiful) lunch. These were the married men, whose wives brought them their midday soup in miserable dishes. Toward the end of the week their number kept growing; why, I understood later. Then they would talk politics. I would drink my bottle of milk and eat my piece of bread somewhere aside, and would cautiously study my new surroundings or ponder my wretched lot. But still I heard more than enough; and it often seemed to me that people sidled up to me deliberately, perhaps with the intention of forcing me to make my attitude clear. In any case, what I heard in this fashion was calculated to irritate me to the extreme. They were against everything: the nation, as an invention of the “capitalistic” (how often had I to hear that word!) classes; the Fatherland, as a tool of the bourgeoisie to exploit the workers; the authority of law, as a means to oppress the proletariat; the schools, as an institution to (rain up a body of slaves, and of slave-owners as well; religion, as a means of stupefying the people marked for exploitation; morals, as a symbol of stupid, sheep-like patience; and so on. There was simply nothing which they did not drag in the muck of a fearful baseness. At first I tried to maintain silence. But finally I could do so no longer. I began to express my attitude, and began to contradict. Then I realized that this was quite useless until I knew something definite about the points under dispute, so I began to go to the sources from which they drew their supposed wisdom. Book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet had its turn. On the building lot there were now often heated arguments. I went on struggling, growing day by day better informed than my adversaries were, until one day the means was used which most easily vanquishes reason: terrorism, violence. Some of the spokesmen of the opposition forced me either to leave the job at once or to fly off the scaffolding on my head. As I was alone, and resistance seemed hopeless, I preferred to follow the former advice, richer by one experience. I left, filled with disgust, but at the same time so agitated that it would have been quite impossible for me to turn my back on the whole affair. No; after the flaming up of the first indignation, my stiff neck once more got the upper hand. I was absolutely determined to find another construction job just the same. My decision was strengthened by the privation which closed me in its heartless embrace a few weeks later, after I had eaten up what little wages I had saved. Now I had to, whether or no. And the game began all over again, only to end as it had before. I struggled with myself: were these human beings, worthy of belonging to a great people ? It was a painful question. If the answer were yes, the struggle for a national body was really not worth the effort and sacrifice which the best individuals must make; but if the answer were no, our people was poor indeed in human beings.
TL;DR Hitler is impoverished in Vienna, gets a job, refuses to join the union because "i don't know nuffin bout dat shit and u cant make me do nuffin", workers try to educate him, he gets annoyed with them for not being nationalist enough and being anti capitalist, starts to debatebro ben shapiro style, they threaten to beat his nerd ass, he leaves pissed off and decides they're all subhumans. This is hilarious to me because all the neo nazi revisionists try to make hitler out to be more anti capitalist than the "judeobolshevik" marxists.
I enjoyed reading Mein Kampf to laugh at Hitler's chuddery:
>My knowledge of the trade-union organization at that time was zero. I could have proved neither its usefulness nor its uselessness. As I was told I must join, I refused. I gave as my grounds that I did not understand the situation, but would not be forced to do anything whatever. Perhaps the former was the reason why they did not throw me out at once. They may have hoped they could convert me or wear me down within a few days. In any case they were deeply mistaken. But within a fortnight I had reached the end of my ability, even if I had wanted to go on. In that fortnight I came to know my surroundings better, so that no power in the world could have forced me to join an organization whose members I had seen in such an unfavorable light. The first few days I was annoyed. At noon some of the men went to near-by public-houses, while others stayed on the lot, and there consumed a (usually quite pitiful) lunch. These were the married men, whose wives brought them their midday soup in miserable dishes. Toward the end of the week their number kept growing; why, I understood later. Then they would talk politics. I would drink my bottle of milk and eat my piece of bread somewhere aside, and would cautiously study my new surroundings or ponder my wretched lot. But still I heard more than enough; and it often seemed to me that people sidled up to me deliberately, perhaps with the intention of forcing me to make my attitude clear. In any case, what I heard in this fashion was calculated to irritate me to the extreme. They were against everything: the nation, as an invention of the “capitalistic” (how often had I to hear that word!) classes; the Fatherland, as a tool of the bourgeoisie to exploit the workers; the authority of law, as a means to oppress the proletariat; the schools, as an institution to (rain up a body of slaves, and of slave-owners as well; religion, as a means of stupefying the people marked for exploitation; morals, as a symbol of stupid, sheep-like patience; and so on. There was simply nothing which they did not drag in the muck of a fearful baseness. At first I tried to maintain silence. But finally I could do so no longer. I began to express my attitude, and began to contradict. Then I realized that this was quite useless until I knew something definite about the points under dispute, so I began to go to the sources from which they drew their supposed wisdom. Book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet had its turn. On the building lot there were now often heated arguments. I went on struggling, growing day by day better informed than my adversaries were, until one day the means was used which most easily vanquishes reason: terrorism, violence. Some of the spokesmen of the opposition forced me either to leave the job at once or to fly off the scaffolding on my head. As I was alone, and resistance seemed hopeless, I preferred to follow the former advice, richer by one experience. I left, filled with disgust, but at the same time so agitated that it would have been quite impossible for me to turn my back on the whole affair. No; after the flaming up of the first indignation, my stiff neck once more got the upper hand. I was absolutely determined to find another construction job just the same. My decision was strengthened by the privation which closed me in its heartless embrace a few weeks later, after I had eaten up what little wages I had saved. Now I had to, whether or no. And the game began all over again, only to end as it had before. I struggled with myself: were these human beings, worthy of belonging to a great people ? It was a painful question. If the answer were yes, the struggle for a national body was really not worth the effort and sacrifice which the best individuals must make; but if the answer were no, our people was poor indeed in human beings.
TL;DR Hitler is impoverished in Vienna, gets a job, refuses to join the union because "i don't know nuffin bout dat shit and u cant make me do nuffin", workers try to educate him, he gets annoyed with them for not being nationalist enough and being anti capitalist, starts to debatebro ben shapiro style, they threaten to beat his nerd ass, he leaves pissed off and decides they're all subhumans.

There is no "AI" ya nincompoops. It's just dead labor feasting on living labor.
Marx called capital "dead labor" that feasts on "living labor" because capital is the result of past human labor that has been accumulated in the form of money, machinery, factories, and other means of production, no matter how "advanced" and "futuristic" those means of production get. Although these things were created by workers, they become instruments of capitalist power when privately owned and used to generate profit. In capitalism, workers must sell their labor power to survive, producing goods and services whose value exceeds the wages they receive. The capitalist takes this surplus value and reinvests it to accumulate even more capital. Thus, “dead labor” feeds on “living labor” because the wealth created by workers in the past becomes a force that controls and exploits workers in the present, continually expanding through their labor. For Marx, this expresses the central contradiction of capitalism: human labor creates wealth, yet that wealth confronts workers as an independent power that dominates them. Now take that basic Marxian principle and apply it to "AI."
There is no magic "AI." There is an emerging body of technologies built by human beings, trained on human-generated data, powered by enormous human-built computing infrastructure, and sustained by significant human-made investments of energy, water, hardware, labor, and capital (dead labor!). Calling these technologies “artificial intelligence” can obscure more than it explains. The term encourages us to imagine an independent, almost supernatural intelligence that exists apart from human knowledge and effort, when what we actually have are complex systems that identify patterns, generate predictions, and produce outputs based on statistical relationships learned from data. That data comes, directly or indirectly, from people: their writing, research, art, expertise, experience, and accumulated cultural knowledge. These systems do not emerge from a vacuum. They are built upon the intellectual labor of human civilization, and their capabilities are inseparable from the quality, diversity, and limitations of the material on which they were trained.
The quality of these systems depends on much more than the quantity of data they consume. It depends on whose knowledge is represented, whose experience is excluded, how accurately the material reflects reality, and how effectively the system has been trained to distinguish reliable information from error. A system trained on a broad mixture of knowledgeable experts, careful researchers, skilled practitioners, and diverse perspectives may be useful in many contexts. A system trained on incomplete, biased, outdated, or poorly vetted information may reproduce those weaknesses with remarkable confidence. Even high-quality training data does not guarantee high-quality answers in every situation. These technologies can make mistakes, fabricate details, miss context, and produce plausible explanations that are fundamentally wrong. They can be powerful tools, but their outputs still require judgment, verification, and often the very expertise that people are being told they no longer need.
The most dangerous misconception is the idea that this technology is a black box into which anyone can type a request and receive an infinite supply of high-quality work at virtually zero cost. The interface may look effortless, but the infrastructure behind it is not free, the resources required to operate it are not infinite, and the quality of its output is neither unlimited nor guaranteed. The apparent simplicity of asking a question conceals layers of human engineering, training, maintenance, evaluation, and physical infrastructure. More importantly, generating an answer is not the same as knowing whether the answer is correct, useful, ethical, or appropriate. A person who understands a field of expertise can use these tools to accelerate their work, identify possibilities, and explore unfamiliar territory. A person who lacks that understanding may have difficulty recognizing when the same tools have confidently led them astray. Expertise does not become irrelevant when technology advances; in many cases, it becomes more important because someone still has to evaluate what the technology produces.
This is why the growing narrative that young people should stop pursuing education, abandon difficult skills, or give up on developing expertise because "AI is going to take their jobs" is so socially destructive. It teaches people to surrender their agency at precisely the moment when they need to become more capable, adaptable, and intellectually independent. Education is not merely vocational training for a specific job that may or may not exist in twenty years. It teaches people how to reason, investigate, solve problems, communicate, recognize flawed arguments, understand complex systems, and make responsible decisions. Learning mathematics, engineering, medicine, history, writing, art, or a skilled trade develops capacities that cannot be reduced to the production of a finished document or the completion of an isolated task. If society persuades an entire generation that learning is pointless because a machine will do everything for them, it risks creating a population increasingly dependent on systems it does not understand and increasingly unable to challenge their mistakes.
There are also serious economic and social consequences to normalizing this message. If workers come to believe that their skills are destined to become worthless, they may be less inclined to invest in education, negotiate for better working conditions, or organize to ensure that technological gains are shared fairly. Employers may use the threat of automation to suppress wages, reduce staffing, intensify workloads, or justify replacing experienced workers before they have demonstrated that the technology can reliably perform the work. Educational institutions may feel pressured to prioritize immediate technological trends over the deeper development of human capabilities. And individuals who are already anxious about their economic future may experience greater insecurity, alienation, and hopelessness. These outcomes are not inevitable consequences of the technology itself; they are consequences of how societies choose to deploy it and how people are taught to understand their own future in relation to it.
We should be having a more serious conversation. The question is not whether these technologies can be useful; clearly, they can. The question is how to use them without confusing automation with understanding, statistical prediction with wisdom, or convenience with genuine competence. We should teach people how these systems work, where their limitations lie, how to verify their outputs, and how to combine their capabilities with human knowledge and judgment. We should encourage students to learn difficult things, not because technology will never change their professions, but because people who understand the underlying principles of their work are better positioned to adapt when it does. We should demand transparency about the resources these systems consume, the labor and data on which they depend, the economic interests driving their development, and the real-world consequences of their implementation.
Ultimately, the greatest risk may not be that machines become capable of doing more of the work that people once did. It may be that people are convinced they no longer need to understand the world, develop their abilities, or take responsibility for what happens within it. Human knowledge is not an obsolete input to be consumed by a machine and discarded. It is the foundation on which these technologies are built, the standard by which their outputs must be judged, and the resource society must continue to cultivate if it wants to use them wisely. We do not need to worship "AI," nor do we need to dismiss it. We need to demystify it. These are human-made technologies with real capabilities, real costs, and real limitations. Our future will depend less on whether we can make them produce more and more output, and more on whether we remain capable of understanding, evaluating, and directing what they produce.

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

If you are engaged in class war, it would make perfect sense to ban those who oppose class strugle or work against your class from expressing themselves. That's exactly what the bourgeoisie does all the time, suppressing ideas that go against their interests or threaten their dominant role in society. "Free speech" has never existed and it shouldn't exist.
No, this doesn't make you a "red fascist", it makes you an actual threat to the ruling class.
Freeze peach?
I don't believe free speech is necessarily a good thing. Racists, fascists, liberals, religious people, etc. should not just be allowed to shit in the well of public opinion.If you are engaged in class war, it would make perfect sense to ban those who oppose class strugle or work against your class from expressing themselves.

<If the UK suddenly found itself at war, would you know what to do? Do you know what would be expected of you?
>The government wants us all to start preparing for severe disruption to our lives. It wants us to stockpile canned food and drinking water, strengthen our civic resilience, and plan for the possibility of war.
>Work has begun on the government's so-called "war book", which hasn't been updated in decades.
>The UK's most senior soldier has sounded the alarm. The Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Richard Knighton this week said the threat from Russia meant Britain was living through the "most dangerous" period of his 35-year career in the armed forces.
>But what is the threat? In 1940 the danger of a German invasion of the UK was very real. But the chances of Russian tanks rolling up Whitehall are surely negligible.
>"It's not the tanks you need to worry about," says historian Margaret MacMillan, author of War: How Conflict Shaped Us.
>"It's the cutting of cables on the ocean floor. It's the hacking into systems on which so many things depend. The possibility for asymmetric war, for cyber war, is growing by leaps and bounds."
>But are we ready? After 80 years without war on our own soil, are we, as a society, psychologically prepared for it? Are we ready to approve large increases in defence spending, and for the sacrifices that that might entail in other areas of our national life? Or does the threat seem too far-fetched to be real?

Specifically alternate history. From Kaiserreich to The Fire Rises, mods from this shoddy game set in alternate timelines seem to really do numbers. And create serial killers.

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

I get that we aren’t supposed to debate fascists, we’re supposed to shoot them. Yet there’s always that curiosity concerning how and why right-wingers believe what they believe. I know the standard answer is that they’re all a bunch of straight rich white men looking to preserve their institutional power, but there has to be more to it than that. Not all super-rich white guys are overt reactionaries, and there’s a lot of working-class people who are reactionaries. Shouldn’t it make sense, then, to read what they’re actually saying so we can better understand them and their formula?

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

Thread guidelines:
• Please remember to add a spoiler to NSFW and extreme content such as graphic violence and gore.
• Try your best to not derail discussion too much from the main events and relevant places where the war is taken place, as well as other happenings, groups and public figures related to it.
• Meta discussion of the historical, philosophical and ideological background of the war is fine as long as its done in good faith and comradely.
• In the event the meta discussion overstays its welcome, participating users will be referred to take the conversation to the INTERNATIONALISM general thread.
• Quality shitposting and original content is encouraged! Spamming glowie memes is low effort.
• this is /ISG/ for people who treats geopolitics like shitty map games
• behead NATO, crush NATO, etc.
• boasting about getting laid in a warzone is fucking weird, okay?

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

Is Gorbachev historical evidence against democratic centralism?

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

Purpose of Leftypedia
Hello, I'm a user of the now-partnered leftist wiki Leftypedia. I have notice that, despite the partnership and purpose to give leftist ideals to beginners, the wiki have less than three active users (I'm included). I haven't seen anyone talk about leftypedia since the old Miraheze wiki lost its motivation. I have learned from the independent wiki's admin that the wiki itself could be deleted due to costing. Generally, I'm here to see what you users think of the independent wiki with pretty of articles so far?

>even the fucking catholic church turns their back on Franco
>Franco ACK!-s and overnight all the former republican parties and movements reconstitute politically and lead Spain to democracy
This all happened even though Spain was literally Fascist the whole time and liberally used arrests,executions, torture, and states of eception. Hell they even did human experiments trying to find a way to genetically prevent people from becoming leftists. How did other "Authoritarian" governments, whether Left or Right in Europe at the time manage to root out militant opposition within years of taking power and the Spanish resistance continue from the first to last day of the dictatoeship, even though they were ultimatelly not a major threat to the government, it is impressive to me how consistently radical it remained for the duration of the regime.

the future of politics isnt left vs right, but bio conservative vs post humanism. This is especially going to play out if AI and tech dont turn out to be duds.
You can already see the seeds of these movements blossoming between people who are anti AI, pro human, and people who are pro tech and accelerationist slap fighting on various social media

The Global Alliance for Palestine said the mobilisation involved at least 325 events worldwide, including 176 in Europe alone. Organisers estimated that around 250,000 people joined the London march. Demonstrators carried signs demanding the “end” of Israel’s genocide and declaring “Free Palestine” as they marched towards the British parliament. Marchers observed a two-minute silence for the more than 74,370 Palestinians Israel has killed in Gaza since October 2023. Its attacks have wounded at least 175,371 others.

Germany warns EU that €159B budget cuts are not enough
On Saturday, the Irish presidency of the Council of the EU, which is steering the talks, proposed cutting around 8% from the bloc’s total budget from 2028 to 2034 in a bid to assuage a German-led camp demanding reductions of several hundred billions euros. But Dublin’s hopes of facilitating a deal were immediately dashed by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, one the key players in the negotiations as his country contributes to approximately one-quarter of the bloc’s common budget.

The Global Alliance for Palestine said the mobilisation involved at least 325 events worldwide, including 176 in Europe alone. Organisers estimated that around 250,000 people joined the London march. Demonstrators carried signs demanding the “end” of Israel’s genocide and declaring “Free Palestine” as they marched towards the British parliament. Marchers observed a two-minute silence for the more than 74,370 Palestinians Israel has killed in Gaza since October 2023. Its attacks have wounded at least 175,371 others.

Greenpeace said the slick extended along the route taken by the Aframax Rio after the attack. Around midday Wednesday, the tanker was near Lazarevskoye, about 50 kilometers from the site of the fire.

Germany warns EU that €159B budget cuts are not enough
On Saturday, the Irish presidency of the Council of the EU, which is steering the talks, proposed cutting around 8% from the bloc’s total budget from 2028 to 2034 in a bid to assuage a German-led camp demanding reductions of several hundred billions euros. But Dublin’s hopes of facilitating a deal were immediately dashed by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, one the key players in the negotiations as his country contributes to approximately one-quarter of the bloc’s common budget.

Argentina's Supreme Court suspends repeal of Milei's land law
Under the original 2011 law, foreign ownership of rural land could not exceed 15 percent nationally, with separate limits also applying at provincial and municipal levels. But shortly after coming to power in 2023, Milei repealed the restrictions through Emergency Decree 70/2023.

Malaysian Firms Linked to Myanmar Military Aviation Supply Chain: JFM
JFM’s findings, based on leaked documents and commercial trade records, were announced during Myanmar coup president Min Aung Hlaing’s controversial official visit to Malaysia on October 7-8 at the invitation of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. The rights group said three Malaysia-based aerospace procurement and services companies—FJ Global Aeroparts (M) Sdn Bhd, Asia AeroTechnic Sdn Bhd (AAT), and Skyways Technics Asia Sdn Bhd—supplied or sought to supply parts to the regime military and its brokers, or in one case was approached to perform repairs, between 2023 and this year.

Anger In Japan Grows After US Marine Is Arrested Over The Killing Of A Woman In Okinawa
The arrest of a U.S. Marine on suspicion of robbing and killing a local woman in Okinawa has drawn condemnation from Japan’s leaders and renewed protests against the heavy American military presence on the southern island. The alleged killing could complicate Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s push to strengthen Japanese military defense on the island and to work more closely with the U.S. military to deter China in the region.

The internet is inherently hierarchical and tends toward giving already established and popular entities undue voice.
In the real, physical world, people encounter things that they are physically close to and can sense through their sight, hearing, etc. This is the concept behind protesting out on the street.
On the internet, there is no built in discovery mechanism like there is in the physical reality. People never just type in domain names to se what's there, especially these days. You could own "starmer.sucks" and maybe get like two visitora a year.
Discovery on the internet is based on network effect and platforms. You are at the mercy of other people linking to your site or whatever platform you're posting on choosing to recommend you.
In contrast, the material world has discovery built in. You pass a street protest, you hear their chants, you see their faces. You see some graffiti. You didn't search for it. The people who did tjat didn't have to pay Google for the privilege of being seen.

I see no reason why in an anarcho zone I can’t pray or believe in some deity.

>"the holocaust" refers to the nazi genocides against slavic peoples as well as jews, not just the genocide against the jews.
Anon B:
<Wrong. The Jews are always the center of the Holocaust narrative.
This raises the first question. Descriptively, does the phrase "The Holocaust" refer only to the genocide against the jews of Europe, or does it also include the related and overlapping genocides against other groups like Slavs, Romani, Poles, as well as the mass murder of political groups like Communists?
Another exchange in that thread can be abridged as follows:
Anon C:
>nobody really gave a shit about the Holocaust back then either. People only became obsessed with the Holocaust around the 1960s because of Jewish-Zionist psyops.
Anon D:
<yes they did. 100 years from now people like you will be saying nobody gave a shit about palestinian genocide until 2050. but that won't make it true.
This raises the second question. Did people actually care about The Holocaust when it was a contemporary and ongoing event, or did nobody really care until the 1960s?
Personally I think evidence leans towards "The Holocaust" referring to all the nazi mass murder, and not just the jews, though I am open to persuasion.
Furthermore I think people did care about it when it was a contemporary event, and the soviets seem proud of their work in liberating the concentration camps, as well as the Nazi-occupied countries like Belarus, Poland and Ukraine.

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

Rising food prices and poor rains fuel fears of hunger crisis in Darfur
In West Darfur, particularly the state capital El Geneina, soaring food prices, expensive imports and currency fluctuations have placed further pressure on households.

Holborn and St Pancras by-election: Record low turnout exposes mass disaffection with both Labour and the Greens
The Greens countered that their vote share had tripled since the general election in July 2024 when it won 10.4 percent. But Andrew Feinstein, the “left” independent who took 19 percent in that election, promoting a new Corbyn-led party, did not stand this time and backed the Greens. Polanski’s 8,928 votes compare with nearly 11,350 combined votes for the Greens and Feinstein in 2024—a rise of just 3 points. Largely absent from commentary was the significance of a turnout of just 38.7 percent—the lowest for any by-election held in England this parliament and 15.4 points down on the 2024 general election.

>“The age of Willkommenskultur is over, the era of mass deportations has begun,” commented the Sweden Democrats party, whose MEP Charlie Weimers played a central role as ECR’s shadow rapporteur.
>In a rare show of unity on the European Right, the directive was adopted not only by the national conservative groups (PfE, ECR, and ESN) but also the EPP, which votes together with the leftist parties in the vast majority of cases.
>Most importantly, the new law will introduce a mutual recognition and enforcement obligation between member states regarding deportation orders, meaning migrants cannot circumvent return decisions by moving to a different EU country and restarting the process. A return order in one country will legally count as a valid order in all of them.
>Another important point is the introduction of third-country return hubs, making it possible for member states to externalize return procedures by sending migrants to secure facilities outside EU territory to wait for the end of the process, ensuring they won’t escape implementation once the paperwork’s done.
