Isn't western leftism made of anti-imperialists and multipolaristas already?

Why do the people that identify with these ideas always separte themselves and accuse "western leftism" when every internet forum and radical political party talks about supporting Iran, Russia and Houthis? And unequal exchange and productive forces in global south nations? When could we say that the "failure of western leftism" is on them?

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmn0jke547r5o

<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?

Why do people think Communism and belief in God is incompatible?

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

R: 93 / I: 13

Fuck intersectionality

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

PAUL COCKSHOTT EXPELLED FROM THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN FOR "ANTISEMITISM"

https://paulcockshott.wordpress.com/2026/10/04/on-my-expulsion-from-the-communist-party-of-britain/

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.

Freezing sperm

I had to wake up today at 6:00 AM and got ready to get to the clinic, pretty nice but i felt forced to look like i didn't got there from the ghetto…

got to sign some documents, they took my ID and i paid for the tests, a while in i got called for getting my blood drawn, the usual at this point; they got 2 tubes of blood and had me in for some questions regarding my medical background, after that i was taken to the "sample room" which was basically like a sink, a chair and a TV.

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.

Monogamy and heterosexuality are inherently reactionary

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

Economic Democracy

Here is an excellent article from Jacobin magazine:

>Inside the workplace your boss rules like a dictator, dictating the pace, the discipline, and how the fruits of labor are distributed. The core message of the text is that there can be no socialism without workers full control over the means of production and workplace democracy.

>The authors (Beggs, Burgis & Sunkara) dismantle the myth of the efficiency of authoritarian management. Empirical evidence shows that worker-managed enterprises are at least as productive, and often more resilient, than traditional capitalist firms.

>Workplace democracy reduces alienation, commits workers to shared goals, and gives decision-making power to those who know the production process best; the workers themselves.

<TWO SOURCE COSMOGONY: The One was and was-not, combined, and desired to separate the was-not from the was. So it generated a diploid sac which contained, like auyghshell, a pair of twins, each an androgyny, spinning in opposite directions (the Yin and Yang of Taoism, with the One as the Tao). The plan of the One was that both twins would emerge into being (was-ness) simultaneously; however, motivated by a desire to be (which the One implanted in both twins), the counter-clockwise twin broke through the sac and separated prematurely; i.e. before full term. This was the dark or Yin twin. Therefore it was defective. At full term the wiser twin emerged. Each twin formed a unitary entelechy, a single living organism made of psyche and soma, still rotating in opposite directions to each other. The full term twin, called Form I by Parmenides, advanced correctly through its growth stages, but the prematurely born twin, called Form II, languished.

<The next step in the One's plan was that the Two would become the Many, through their dialetic interaction. From them as hyperuniverses they projected a hologram-like interface, which is the pluriform universe we creatures inhabit. The two sources were to intermingle equally in maintaining our universe, but Form II continued to languish toward illness, madness and disorder. These aspects she projected into our universe.

<It was the One's purpose for our hologramatic universe to serve as a teaching instrument by which a variety of new lives advanced until ultimately they would be isomorphic with the One. However, the decaying condition of hyperuniverse II introduced malfactors which damaged our hologramatic universe. This is the origin of entropy, undeserved suffering, chaos and death, as well as the Empire, the Black Iron Prison; in essence, the aborting of the proper health and growth of the life forms within the hologramatic universe. Also, the teaching function was grossly impaired, since only the signal from the hyperuniverse I was information-rich; that form II had become noise.

<The psyche of hyperuniverse I sent a micro-form of itself into hyperuniverse II to attempt to heal it. The micro-form was apparent in our hologramatic universe as Jesus Christ. However, hyperuniverse II, being deranged, at once tormented, humiliated, rejected and finally killed the micro-form of the healing psyche of her healthy twin. After that, hyperuniverse II continued to decay into blind, mechanical, purposeless causal processes. It then became the task of Christ (more properly the Holy Spirit) to either rescue the life forms in the hologramatic universe, or abolish all influences on it emanating from II. Approaching its task with caution, it prepared to kill the deranged twin, since she cannot be healed; i.e. she will not allow herself to be healed because she does not not understand that she is sick. This illness and madness pervades us and makes us idiots living in private, unreal worlds. The original plan of the One can only be realized now by the division of hyperuniverse I into two healthy hyperuniverses, which will transform the hologramatic universe into the successfull teaching machine it was designed to be. We will experience this as the 'Kingdom of God.'

<Within time, hyperuniverse II remains alive: 'The Empire never ended.' But in eternity, where the hyperuniverses exist, she has been killed – of necessity – by the healthy twin of hyperuniverse I, who is our champion. The One grieves for this death, since the One loved both twins; therefore the information of the Mind consists of a tragic tale of the death of a woman, the undertones of which generate anguish into all the creatures of the hologrammatic universe without their knowing why. This grief will depart when the healthy twin undergoes mitosis and the 'Kingdom of God' arrives. The machinery for this transformation – the procession within time from the Age of Iron to the Age of Gold – is at work now; in eternity it is already accomplished.

The Rise of the Völkisch Left

July 31, 2026

The Postcolonial Volk
By Benjamin Zachariah
Polity, 176 pages, $25

You might have noticed that at some point, progressive types began to use the term “folks” to refer to “people.” There are black folks, queer folks, indigenous folks. The change is significant. Whereas “people” evokes a sense of a universal subject, “folks” is particular. It implies a world of distinctions: different cultures, different experiences, different interests. No people, just “peoples,” all speaking with a different voice. From this perspective, “The political world is a pluriverse, not a universe.”

While the idea of a pluriverse has become increasingly popular within decolonial thought, that last line didn’t come from the tradition’s ever-proliferating ranks of academic adherents. It came from Carl Schmitt, the Nazi jurist. At a time when everything is “literally Hitler,” the comparison can seem overwrought. But it is precisely the comparison between post-colonial particularism and the völkisch right that Benjamin Zachariah reveals with a keen sense of the absurd in his new book, The Postcolonial Volk.

Zachariah critiques the “conglomerate” of postcolonial and decolonial theory clustering around what’s come to be known as “theory from the Global South.” But appearances are deceiving, because it’s not really from the Global South at all. As Zachariah describes, its language and legitimacy claims are crafted in the Global North, exported to the Global South, and then reimported as authentic non-Western knowledge.

And just as it is not really of the Global South, this ostensibly left-wing “postcolonial-decolonial-Global South conglomerate” is not really of the left either. Despite the right’s insistence that the ghost of Karl Marx is currently undertaking a long march through the institutions, Zachariah’s central claim is that the contemporary left actually has far more in common with anti-communist and proto-fascist forces than with the nineteenth-century founder of “scientific socialism.” In important respects, its ethos actually arises from an entirely rival tradition, one that encompasses romantic nationalism, indigenism, cultural organicism, and völkisch thought. It is, Zachariah says, “Romanticism, rather than the much-reviled Enlightenment, that suggests itself as the intellectual basis of the ‘post-Enlightenment’ world that Global Southistan now lays claim to.”

This is why, as Zachariah shows, the postcolonial outlook now common on the contemporary left is so hostile to the Enlightenment and its ideal of universal truth. In his satirical “Twelve Theses on Postcolonialism,” he condenses its outlook into its propositions including “the individual is an Enlightenment conspiracy” and “the Age of Reason is the Age of Empire.” Contrary to popular belief, universal reason and the emancipation of the individual were central to Marxism and the socialist and communist traditions shaped by it (“We are communists out of egoism,” Engels once wrote to Marx), however miserably they failed in practice. Marx and Engels were part of the Young Hegelian milieu, who were deeply impressed by the “heroes of the French Revolution,” and even called themselves “encyclopaedists” after the eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosophes. This is a far cry from the unholy trinity that Zachariah skewers, however much its adherents may sometimes rummage in the dustbins for what he calls the “debris of Marx- and- Engels-isms.”

Postcolonialism does not simply swap out the working class for some other group of the oppressed. Its object is a mystic unity of culture, collective memory, fraught relationships to race and place, and inherited victimhood. Blood and soil in these formulations are only slightly obscured by a thin rhetorical dust.

As Zachariah shows, the postcolonial tendency’s hostility to individualism and universalism follows precisely from its Romantic and völkisch premises. This is why, as Zachariah describes through a number of jarring examples, its language passes so easily out of the mouths of Hindu nationalists, Islamists, and white identitarians. All emphasize authentic peoples, violated inheritances, foreign contamination, internal betrayers, and cultural restoration as a magical solution to social and political problems.

One of Zachariah’s most illuminating examples is that of Benoy Kumar Sarkar, a Bengali social scientist whom Zachariah describes as “a self-conscious and dedicated user of völkisch ideas” and “zealous co-worker with the Nazis,” who is now unselfconsciously revered as a pioneer of Indian sociology, political science, and forebear of postcolonial thought. That Sarkar was a resolute admirer of Hitler, whom he called “Vivekananda multiplied by Bismarck,” is forgiven or ignored by those eager to find in him a postcolonial precursor.

The story is similar, if more well known, regarding Martin Heidegger, whom Zachariah describes as “postcolonial scholars’ preferred philosopher of ‘affect’” and whose defenders’ attempt to save him from the charge of Nazism “faltered on the evidence of his own diaries.” One compromised intellectual ancestor might be a mere misstep, a product of a momentary lapse in judgment (even if lasting many years). But when the fascist affinities of your forebears must repeatedly be bracketed or explained away, it should tell you that something is wrong with your outlook.

Not that this is really possible, because postcolonialism’s epistemology means it is singularly incapable of recognizing the proto-fascism of its völkisch affinities. As Zachariah writes, these are instead routinely “underplayed or explained away in terms of the ‘difference’ of non-Western cultures, which are allegedly incapable of fascism or to whom Western concepts such as fascism simply do not apply.” If the volk is light-skinned, the politics belong to the right; if dark-skinned, to the left, and ne’er the twain shall meet. And so, the right remains evil for its organic nationalism, while the left is merely seeking cultural renewal; the right is dangerous for denouncing non-white internal enemies but when the left denounces whites it is merely identifying obstacles to “decolonization.” It is the peculiarities of the volk, rather than the politics, that matter.

Why has the left turned to these romantic ideas? Zachariah cites the collapse of the Soviet Union as one cause. But he hits on an even deeper reason near the start of the book, when he draws on Walter Benjamin’s much-quoted vignette inspired by Paul Klee’s Angelus Novus. This is the backward-facing, forward-blown Angel of History, who is to Benjamin, “surveying the debris of the past” as a storm blowing from Paradise drives him perilously into the future. “He would like to pause,” goes the vignette, “to awaken the dead and to piece together what has been smashed,” but the gale has got so strong he cannot close his wings.

Zachariah’s intended point is well taken: We can no more return to an earlier materialist left than postcolonial volk can return to the idyllic time before the colonial “Fall.” Both the longing and the backward-looking means of overcoming it are misguided. But Benjamin’s image also answers a deeper question: Just why is there such a passionate desire to escape the forces of history and take refuge in the wholeness of the past?

In You Shall Be as Gods, Erich Fromm reads the expulsion from Eden not as man’s corruption but “the beginning of his rise.” Eden is the central symbolic story of man’s gradual alienation from animalhood and nature in the development of his capacity to reason and disobey, that is, his capacity for freedom. But crucially, this freedom is experienced as a painful sense of loss, as freedom imposes burdens of uncertainty, choice, and responsibility.

“Man suffers from this loss of oneness,” Fromm writes, and “his most passionate striving is to return to the world of union which was his home.” And so while man, in Fromm’s radical humanist reading of the Hebrew scriptures, reasons and argues with God on his ascent to independence, he is always drawn back downward, “to the womb, the Mother Earth,” and the certainties and bindings of the past, nature, clan, and idols.

This is the deeper yearning expressed in Benjamin’s Angel of History. We want to go back and pick up the pieces, rebuild what’s been lost. But the most painful lesson, the one we continually cannot accept, is that there is no going back.

Alberta Separatism and American Influence: How a Regional Movement Became an International Controve

Across the eleven articles, a common narrative emerges: Alberta separatism is no longer being discussed solely as a domestic Canadian political movement. The stories focus on growing connections between some Alberta separatist activists and U.S. Republican political networks, concerns about foreign interference, the role of online organizing, and a broader debate over whether separatist leaders are helping or harming their own cause.

A central theme is a series of reports that Alberta separatist organizers sought contacts with officials and political actors in the United States. According to reporting discussed across multiple outlets, separatist representatives met with U.S. State Department officials and explored how an independent Alberta might build closer economic ties with the United States. Reported ideas included use of the U.S. dollar, expanded energy cooperation, transportation corridors, access to resources, and possible economic support during a transition to independence. However, accounts differed regarding exactly what was discussed, and U.S. officials reportedly denied offering support or commitments. Critics argue that these contacts crossed a political line because the future of Canada should be decided by Canadians, while supporters portray the discussions as diplomacy and strategic planning. [thewalrus.ca], [energi.media]

The question of foreign interference runs throughout the coverage. Several writers argue that while Alberta separatists have the democratic right to advocate for independence, actively seeking assistance from foreign political actors is much more controversial. Political scientist Stewart Prest, writing in The Walrus, compares the current situation to past Canadian reactions to outside involvement in Quebec sovereignty debates. He argues that foreign governments and political movements should not influence decisions about Canada’s territorial future and calls for a clear federal response against external interference. Prest maintains that the issue is not simply separatism itself, but the involvement of American political actors in a Canadian constitutional question. [thewalrus.ca]

At the same time, multiple stories examine whether such actions amount to treason. The general conclusion is that, under Canadian law, the answer is likely no. Critics may describe the conduct as disloyal or a betrayal of Canada, but experts quoted in several articles say the legal definition of treason is much narrower. Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt argues that the conduct is better understood as foreign political interference than treason. He acknowledges a long history of independence movements around the world seeking international support, while expressing greater concern about Americans willing to become involved in Canadian political disputes. [thewalrus.ca], [energi.media]

Another major theme is the relationship between Alberta separatist activists and Republican political networks in the United States. Reporting highlighted contacts with Michigan Republican organizers and the use of voter-mobilization techniques developed for U.S. conservative campaigns. One of the most detailed investigations examined the Centurion Project, a political organizing effort connected to Alberta for separatist activism. According to PressProgress, the project drew inspiration from a Michigan-based Republican initiative called 10xVotes and adapted its voter-identification model for Alberta. The article traces connections between the app’s creators, American conservative activists, prominent Trump supporters, and influential Republican donors. It also notes that U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra said he had no knowledge of the Alberta project’s use of the technology and was not involved with its operations. [pressprogress.ca]

The Centurion Project story is closely tied to concerns about privacy and election integrity. Investigations cited in the coverage describe allegations that information from Alberta’s voters list was improperly accessed and used within separatist organizing efforts. The matter prompted investigations by Elections Alberta, privacy authorities, and police. Critics characterize the episode as one of the most significant alleged political data breaches in recent Canadian history. Supporters of investigations argue it demonstrates the risks of importing highly aggressive U.S.-style political mobilization techniques into Canadian politics. [pressprogress.ca]

The media ecosystem surrounding Alberta separatism is another significant focus. CBC’s reporting highlights the rise of anonymous online influencers who have become more important than traditional political leaders in shaping the movement’s message. In particular, the “Rise of Alberta” social media account has become one of the dominant voices advocating independence. Researchers cited by CBC found that the account generates vast online engagement through a mix of memes, videos, political commentary, and merchandise sales. CBC also identified links between the account’s infrastructure and organizations associated with separatist leader Keith Wilson, although Wilson denied operating the account himself and said it belonged to a website designer who also worked for his organizations. [cbc.ca]

The CBC investigation raises broader concerns about anonymous political campaigning. Researchers argue that an account capable of driving a substantial share of online discussion can exert significant influence without the scrutiny normally applied to political parties or elected officials. The report also notes the account’s use of provocative and culture-war-oriented messaging, illustrating how Alberta separatism increasingly intersects with online populist and right-wing political cultures. [cbc.ca]

Several opinion pieces take a sharply critical view of the separatist movement itself. Their authors argue that the movement’s leaders have become liabilities because they make unrealistic claims about Alberta’s future, alienate potential supporters, and damage the credibility of the independence cause. Critics also contend that discussions about trading strategic resources or seeking American political assistance make the movement appear willing to compromise Alberta’s long-term interests in pursuit of separation. These writers suggest that separatism is increasingly associated with fringe activism rather than a broad-based constitutional movement.

A recurring concern is the influence of MAGA-style politics in Alberta. Bratt and other observers argue that parts of the movement have adopted tactics, narratives, and networks that closely resemble contemporary American conservative activism. This includes skepticism toward mainstream institutions, the growth of alternative media ecosystems, and fears that referendum results could be challenged if they do not favour independence. Bratt warns that some activists are already questioning electoral processes and that similar rhetoric to the American “Stop the Steal” movement could emerge after Alberta’s referendum. [energi.media]

The collection of articles also reflects a broader national debate. Critics fear that U.S. political actors see Alberta separatism as an opportunity to exert influence over Canada. Others argue that allegations of foreign interference are being exaggerated for political purposes. Regardless of viewpoint, the stories collectively show that Alberta separatism has evolved beyond a provincial grievance movement focused on equalization, energy policy, and western alienation. It now intersects with international politics, social media influence networks, privacy controversies, and debates about Canadian sovereignty. [thewalrus.ca], [pressprogress.ca], [cbc.ca], [energi.media]

Taken together, the articles portray a movement at a crossroads. Separatist leaders have succeeded in drawing unprecedented attention to their cause, but they have also attracted scrutiny over their relationships with American political actors, their methods of voter mobilization, and the increasingly polarized online ecosystem surrounding the campaign. Whether viewed as legitimate advocates for self-determination or as a movement flirting with foreign influence, the coverage suggests that the future of Alberta separatism is now tied not only to Alberta politics, but also to larger questions about democracy, sovereignty, and the influence of cross-border political movements in Canada.

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

Os escritos estavam nas paredes do local onde havia o vazamento. As mensagens parecem ter sido escritas por pessoas diferentes (Nelson Nilson, José Silva Guerra dentre outros). Há mensagens de abril de 1959 e outras de setembro do mesmo ano. Brasília foi inaugurada no dia 21 de abril de 1960."

Why do Leftists/Marxists in particular get upset when capitalist countries oppose them, when their ideology necessarily calls for overthrowing of their governments. When you call for world revolution their are naturally going to be forces that will oppose you.

Marxists argue that capitalists will do whatever is necessary to preserve their power, including supporting or installing fascist regimes. If you therefore believe that violent revolution is ultimately necessary to overthrow the bourgeoisie, why is it surprising when the bourgeoisie commits atrocities in the name of preserving its own power?

Overhaul English NAO!!!

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

English needs spelling and conjugation overhaul so badly

Jesus as a political figure?

Back in Jesus's time when politics and religion were firmly merged together and people couldn't even conceptualize politics without god so I guess it must've made sense for a man to develop a political vision and think of it all as a revelation from heavens.

If you calm down and look at Jesus's message thinking of it as a political message then it can be summed up to a sort of proto utopian communism. He advocated for better treatment for slaves (which is really a lukewarm reformist stance), an abandonment of money and instead life in communities where people share their shit and help each other. He also invented the threat of hell to force people to do as he said and his rhetoric and methods had a ton of weaknesses. His insistence of pacifism only made his followers easy to hunt down and for the people in power to distort his ideas.

In the end Jesus's thought was entirely recuperated by the Romans. They took Jesus out of christianity and interpreted everything he said in a way that allowed them to do what they were already doing: kill rape and pillage everyone, which eventually merged (and turned) into christianity itself. Most of christian history of destruction is just an influence of the roman co-opted version Jesus's political movement with very little of Jesus himself, which means Jesus is a catastrophically failed political leader whose life should be interpreted as a failed revolutionary movement, and as all revolutionary movements it should be studied to avoid the same mistakes. For example, he proved that martyrism and pacifism do not work at all, that speaking in vague riddles will just make it easier for your enemies to just distort everything you said in a way that is convenient to themselves, and that communism must be materialist.

Is everyone bisexual?

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

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

Neocon Iraq War criminals

Why is it that the surviving members of the George W. Bush administration who acted as the architects of the Iraq War have never faced any legal penalties for what they did?

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.

Prison Abolition

Hey everyone, I don't really understand what people mean when they say they are for 'prison abolition', I get the stuff about economic factors need to be tackled and there should be more services trying to stop recidivism, and keep people out of prison, but at the same time don't we still need prisons for the worst offenders? Or at least some kind of place to put people that are a danger to society? Do prison abolitionists have any kind of answer for this? What places should I research?

Voting

There are large protests in my country surrounding the affordability of housing, elections draw near and this got me thinking on who should I vote.

>PSOE: center-left dinousaurs, their attitude towards any problem is to hide and pretend it doesn't exist, that is both their biggest strength and weakness.

>Sumar: lib leftists, not radical by any means but they're more of the "go fast and break stuff type", on one hand they defend things that benefit me such as welfare programs for the disabled (which I am considered part of), on the other hand they defend social causes that go against my interests, such as euthanasia.

I'm using what shrinks call "profit-and-loss thinking" (because shrinks love to patholigise everything). I do not care about any progressive causes, or causes of any kind, I perceive anything that is not my material self-interest to be a "spook" as you like to say, I have been greatly abused by "oppresed" individuals and left-wing ideologues for me to give a shit about either, the opposite of love is indifference (not hatred) and the best revenge is to live well.

I'm in the following situation:
>minimum wage
>cisgender male
>disabled (sperg)
>assets in the 10000s of euros.

Why are rightoids so obsessed with muh objective morality?

It was a major talking point of the 2000s culture wars between the Religious Right vs. liberals, namely the belief that the right-wing upheld the notion that there is an objective truth and an objective morality that stems from it, while liberals (and genuine leftists for that matter) were portrayed as staunch believers in moral relativism which they acquired through "worshipping" science and history in lieu of religion.

So how does this belief in objective moral truth fit in with the greater right-wing agenda? How does the exploiter class benefit from proles believing in objective morality?

Let's see if you agree with me, people.

I've come to the conclusion that race, gender and sexuality, in this order, are core identities in humanity and many others if not exactly derived, are strictly related to it.

Origin/nationality, culture and social class are REALLY important but have a social, less inherent condition to these more physical, intrinsic qualities I listed.

A working person will always have a race, gender and sexuality, this unifies everyone but also divides people, and a corporeal human being will always make part of a social class depending on his or her place in society.

Left and right are the two main political divisions, from which all others are related somehow. It has to do with progress, equality vs. hierarchy, property, economic intervention and societal roles in general.

Furthermore: politics, science, religion, art and philosophy are the main social and cultural expressions of humanity. These are the ways we organize, understand and express our existence in reality.

Economics is important, but it is more like the "matrix" where things happen.

All these things are related in a complex, conflictuous, changing and multipolar/multidimensional reality.

We know we are all one in some sense, but separated individually still being more or less part of the whole in a way, fighting for social issues and material needs.

Not sure what I am talking about anymore.

The fact is, I don't see material reality separated from social constructs, they always interact amd it is hard to determine like a perfect map of humanity or society.

This is more or less how I see the world.

How you guys think a marxist overview about my vision would be? I understand some marxism, but I am not an orthodox person, I think we should come up with better and more complex explanations without losing grip of the essentials, if you understand me.

Picture slightly unrelated.

When asked "Even babies?", he said the group replied: "Babies too, because eventually they will grow up and become terrorists."

Mariaca was leading the case against Fernando Cerimedo, the Argentine political operative tied to Donald Trump’s inner circle. After serving as Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz’s top adviser, he has been jailed since August, accused of ordering the murder of his former partner.

Hard Decisions

>>2920506
>Freedom to trade in grain is a return to capitalism, to the full power of the landowners and capitalists, to a savage struggle between people for profit, to the "free" enrichment of the few, to the poverty of the masses, to the eternal bondage we see in all bourgeois states, including the freest and most democratic republics.

Lenin, Freedom to Trade in Grain, August 1919

http://www.marx2mao.com/Lenin/FTG19.html

>[…]we made the mistake of deciding to go over directly to communist production and distribution. We thought that under the surplus-food appropriation system the peasants would provide us with the required quantity of grain, which we could distribute among the factories and thus achieve communist production and distribution […] The New Economic Policy means substituting a tax for the requisitioning of food; it means reverting to capitalism to a considerable extent […] for the abolition of the surplus-food appropriation system means allowing the peasants to trade freely in their surplus agricultural produce, in whatever is left over after the tax is collected—and the tax takes only a small share of that produce. The peasants constitute a huge section of our population and of our entire economy, and that is why capitalism must grow out of this soil of free trading.

Lenin, The New Economic Policy, October 1921

https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1921/oct/17.htm

I don't draw the comparison between these two quotes to say that Lenin was wrong or bad or stupid, on the contrary, I think the contradictions of actually seizing and wielding power are more complex than what revolutionary theory can prepare you for. This does not mean that every last bit of revisionism and opportunism are justified, but it also means you shouldn't dismiss every hard decision that someone makes in real life as revisionism or opportunism, no?

WILLKOMENSKULTUR IST VORBEI edition

>“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.

Learning about solar technology

How would you go about learning about solar? Do you know of any useful material to learn about it? I'd love to learn more about the different technologies involved and about the installation of solar panels and power generation. Maybe this knowledge can be put into practice to help one's local community. I'm sure there's lots of solid state physics and electronics involved, but any advice would be more than welcome!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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