>Bye, bye, Microsoft! – edition
https://www.zdnet.com/article/china-drops-windows-for-linux/

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™.

Communism VS Central Planning

I have seen this retardation spammed all over the place because of austrian economic loons however it always did feel so retarded.

I think this is the most condensed example of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI3OH4QO5JY

Basically it becomes more and more retarded until you end up
>What about captain america?
>And captain america not fighting Thanos in my MCU?!
>communism and money can not exist!

That was always a incredibly retarded argument and I do not understand how the viewers of this trash are not dying of cringe.

Did people make debunking of this """"logic"""" because the video is pure insanity. The truth is that there is no such thing as central planning.
>Herp derp how do we produce things? How many of them?!
How does the factory do it now?

This is something this video never answers it only says
>People do whatever they want today this is capitalism
Absurdist and ridiculous.

However austrian loons will throw around literally religious phrases
<They are measuring the market signals
By the magic powers the oracle has presumably.
<The market decides!
Like there is some god entity the clergy talks to on this subject and this god is named the market.

And pretend like their insanity makes any sense whatsoever.
However instead of asking where this self contradictory god named the market lives or who exactly is talking to him (questions who will never be answered by Austrian cultists) the video ditches the religious nonsense of the Austrian cult and tries an atheistic version of this argument.

I mean this is a simple question if you are 18 or about to start to think(and never worked in any production job whatsoever; student/NEET) about how to organize things however the solution is very simple an this is true of everyone even magical capitalist will fail this.

If you throw people on some isolated island and tell them to figure things out everything will devolve into chaos this is regardless of anything involved. And no
>Letting people decide their own things
Will result in total disaster very fast. The scenario is not even coherent it does not even say if this is some isolated island or the walking dead universe or what.

Presumably there is internet and it has power since people are submitting things there and presumably there are farms and factories and transportation and it was not destroyed.

However after a communist revolution with all of this in place(not isolated island not the walking dead universe) the solution is simple, just do it like it was always done. The video makes only sense if you are trying to come up with some alternative to money, however lets keep money and do the same thing. I mean there is no controversial question of
>HoW MuTcH Is tHeRe To PrOdUcE?!
Because this is handled by orders who did come by the client firms and they did come long before today since most businesses can have year long contracts that are not even fully realized yet.
This is something you realize if you ever worked in your life and not are a NEET or Student or only produce youtube videos for a living!
>What if people order to mutch?!

1) You are dealing with bosses or firms who are serious and not insane. You can replace capitalist boss with Combine Manager if you like.
2) Normally they order the same things like 50K units every day with some fluctuation for seasonal events so +10% -20% fluctuation
3) If the client orders something out of the ordinary like lets say 100Bilion units you seriously ask them if they can fulfill this obligation or if this is a mistake. I presume a boss would reject a order like that and either phone back or simply give them their standard unit of 50K if they can not talk to them and are getting some deranged e-mails and no one saying anything.
4) If they can not pay their obligation they get sued.
5) A factory has a maximal output capacity so if you have 10 clients who all take 50K units (500K per day) your max output is about 600K of the factory or presumably 700K if you really try to do overtime and speed some things up. So a ridiculous order like 100Billion will get rejected since that means you need to break obligations with other clients.

Seriously this is something you can figure out if you ever worked in a factory or even in any business! I have no idea how people who have a job do not realize this cringe shit arguments for absolute bullshit. I seriously think the only people who repeat this are Students(legal NEETS), NEETS who did not work a day in their life and people who do some bullshit like make youtube videos for a living.

6) The final part of this is some fidgeting with the number if you have a order for 50K units you will make something like 51K or 52K units because sometimes the machine fucks up and shredded the product or some parts come out defective and need to be thrown out.

There is also some guess work like
>(ice cream) Last year this season(winter) we needed to make only 10K units a day so it will probably be the same.

7) Now one can ask where these numbers come from? They come from the previous years and previous records of orders and production. Something the capitalist boss keeps. In a communist revolution scenario these records can be taken or people who work there can remember things if the capitalist decides to burn or destroy these records.

8) Another idea is that the video insists on creating some kind of economic dictator who decides everything. Now if taken as a serious argument and not some exercise for students or people who start thinking about the economy that is silly. Because in the military you do not have 1 guy who decides everything. There is no magic dictator who orders every foot moved of every soldier at what time
<Epic debunking of the army everyone!
<How can 1 guy decide what position of every finger ever soldier must have?!
<Ha no one can do that!
<IMPOSSIBLE! GENERALS DEBUNKED!

A general gives orders to lower-ranking officers (Lieutenants) who give orders to people under them and a general does not micro manage every movement of every private there is a chain of command and the general will order a Battalions to move to a position at a given time and this is the responsibility of the people under him to do it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_hierarchy
https://www.army.mil/ranks/

So after a communist revolution things can get ruff because some capitalists can decide to destroy their records(far more easy on the computer then on paper) of these things however things will iron themselves out eventually.

I also do not want people to go to the traditional
>and some people are better at making pants! Capitalism YES!
And go to the the insulting with
<And then there is the capitalist boss who is the best at TAKING money so he takes the most! Capitalism YES!
Because this avoids the silly student question and concentrates on the capitalists as parasites.

Fighting Delegitimization: The United Nation’s “Zionism Is Racism” Resolution, a Case Study
https://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/85th-anniversary/fighting-delegitimization-the-united-nations-zionism-is-racism-resolution-a-case-study
>On November 10, 1975, the UN General Assembly adopted G.A. Resolution 3379, which declared Zionism to be “a form of racism and racial discrimnation.” The resolution also cited the political declaration adopted at the Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Non-Aligned Countries held at Lima, Peru, on August 25–30, 1975, which had condemned Zionism “as a threat to world peace” and a “racist and imperialist ideology.”

>This resolution—most commonly referred to as the “Zionism is racism” resolution— came onto the scene against the backdrop of the Cold War. At that time, the United Nations was a forum in which countries often vied for the approval of, and were aligned with, one of the two great powers. Beginning in the 1960s, following the June 1967 Six-Day War, the Soviet Union began promoting the concept of “Zionism-equals-racism” as a way to strengthen its relations with, and support for, the Arab countries in their ongoing conflict with the State of Israel. The very essence of Zion- ism as the Jewish movement of national liberation and self-determination, which created the only democratic society in the Middle East where Jews and Arabs could live alongside one another, was deliberately distorted into its own antithesis. According to Israel’s enemies, which after 1967 included almost all of the Communist states and many of the so-called non-aligned countries, any manifestation of Jewish national rights was deemed hostile to Arab claims to the entirety of the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. Thus, anti-Zionism became a staple of foreign policy not just for Arab and Communist governments, but also for those countries that wanted to burnish their so-called “anti-imperialist” credentials. This process accelerated as Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country, began moving away from the Soviet sphere of influence in the Middle East. In 1973, the UN General Assembly passed an anti-apartheid resolution that condemned “the unholy alliance between Portuguese colonialism, South African racism, Zionism and Israeli imperialism.”

This isn't a joke or anything
Cuba is gonna be invaded by the US by next month, and I don't have much hope in the Cuban armed forces alone.

Either an armed resistance needs to be established in the United States or international voluteers need to be formed for Cuba, either by the Cuban goverment or some communist org (PSL, RCI, etc).

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.

French Riots Thread 2

THE HERO APPEARS

France imposes curfews in parts of Paris, other cities after weekend of riots
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/frances-macron-declines-interior-ministers-offer-resign-2026-10-19/

>French authorities set curfews in parts of several cities on Monday, including Paris, Lille and Nice, as they faced pressure over security failings after a weekend of riots and looting stemming from nationwide anti-government protests.
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu had ruled out a blanket curfew in Paris but not a state of emergency, and had said it was more appropriate for now to ‌apply partial and localised curfews.

>"My determination to restore order is absolute," he told reporters.
Paris police said they had issued orders barring protests in certain areas of the French capital from 8 p.m. (1800 GMT) and had issued a curfew around the Place de la Republique and Les Halles from 11:00 p.m. Both would remain in effect until 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

>"A police deployment is in place to ensure strict compliance with these measures," the police said in a statement.

>A source in Lecornu's office said a curfew for minors had been set between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. for the next two days in Lille, Douai, Wattignies and Denain with the agreement of the local mayors.

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.

Am I the only one worried that the right-wing is already taking advantage of the fact that the left has become a vacuum of intellect, and is now re-embracing intellectualism on its own terms?

I’ve seen multiple IG pages recently that talk about the literacy crisis in America; however, a good number of these pages/accounts are made by right-wingers/reactionaries. They use very blatant dogwhistles like “classical education”, “great books”, “virtue of the Ancients”, “glory of Western Civilization”, etc. etc. They talk about getting kids (read: they’re kids, the kids of right-wing elites) to study Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, etc., learn Latin and Ancient Greek at young ages, and pump their heads full of political philosophy. Yeah it’s indoctrination but still.

My assumption here is that the right-wing in America is trying to regroup and reorganize now that MAGA is clearly crashing and burning beyond repair. A lot of the rhetoric they use makes me think this stuff is coming from either the Heritage Foundation, Claremont Institute, or both.

But I think the deeper issue here is that the left has no way of effectively countering this, assuming this is true. Especially in the past five years or so the American left has almost entirely dismissed intellect and intellectualism in favour of appeals to emotion and petty in-fighting over covid masking, whose identity makes them the most marginalized, and whether or not going to the gym is “fascist”. Hell, someone just posted a screenshot from Reddit arguing that narcissists and psychopaths should be seen as “oppressed”. Why? What’s our antidote to the right when the right uses literacy and philosophy and such as a means of implementing fascism (or fascism-lite)? The American left seems to be taking the view that intellect is either 1. oppressive (because it inevitably creates a culture whereby smart people are upheld over stupid people) and/or 2. useless, because ethics are allegedly already embedded within human genetics and therefore all we need is intuition (Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid book is often invoked here). Why?

So what should we be doing in response?

A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

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

Student-led Serbian movement ousts right-wing leader Aleksandar Vucic in seismic win
Mr Vucic told supporters at his party’s election night event in Belgrade: “It is now clear that we have lost and the Students’ List has won,” though he blamed the media, alleged interference by unnamed European countries and the “American deep state” for the loss. Radomir Saicic, a Students’ List candidate, said “tonight is not just about results. “It is about people who believed and continued to fight,” he said. “This is a victory over fear. It is nobody’s trophy, it is a citizen’s victory. But victory carries responsibility.”

Berlin’s Plan to Take Back Homes Will Cost Europe’s Biggest Landlord £7bn
Die Linke, which won Berlin’s state elections in September, has agreed to talks with the city’s Greens and Social Democrats as part of plans to transfer ownership of flats from companies that own more than 10,000 apartments, with the legislation scheduled to be brought forward in 2028. Any apartments owned above that 10,000 threshold would have to be transferred into public ownership as part of the policy, with Die Linke proposing an average compensation of around €100,000 per apartment – around 40% below the market value.

‘Still Just a Child’: The Russian Teenagers Fighting and Dying in Ukraine
The pro-war Orthodox Christian VKontakte group Synodik, which has about 50,000 followers, carries dozens of obituaries for soldiers who were teenagers when the invasion began. In Orthodox Christianity, a synodik is a list of names of the living or the dead who are remembered in prayers and church services. Likewise, Synodik’s members pray for Russian soldiers like they would in a real church. The comments, mostly posted by women, are filled with Orthodox prayers, animated images of icons and cross emojis.

Brazil heads back to the future as Flavio Bolsonaro refuses to recognize Lula win
Right-wing Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has followed his imprisoned father's lead by refusing to concede defeat to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who won a historic fourth ‌term in Sunday's presidential election. Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, called into question a late-Sunday decision by a Lula-appointed Supreme Court justice that extended voting by two hours over alleged public transport irregularities. The senator said he would ask for the result to be annulled.

Netanyahu reportedly pressured military to attack Iran in run-up to election
Israel’s Channel 12 news reported that the prime minister and the armed forces chief of staff, Lt Gen Eyal Zamir, clashed in recent days over a directive to the military which could “potentially spark an immediate conflagration with Iran at a very sensitive juncture”, by provoking a miscalculation by Iran. Zamir is reported to have requested the directive, the details of which were not specified, to be presented to him in writing.

Drone strikes cut power across southeast Sudan, operator says
The operator accused the ‌paramilitary Rapid Support Forces — which have been fighting a civil war with the army for around 3-1/2 years — of knocking out power in four states, which cover about half the territory currently held by the military. …. Power was cut in Sennar, Al Qadarif, White Nile and Gezira states, threatening the stability of the whole national grid, the operator said. The attacks hit stations in the towns and areas of Sinja, El Hawata, Al Fao and Mashkour, ‌as ⁠well as Al-Junaid in Gezira State, causing "severe damage" and "major destruction" to equipment, it added.

ImageBoards and trans culture

obviously pre-2016-fed/pol/ era, if you're a tran browsing IBs you're or should obviously be old enough to remember life before the rise of "beta" and "incel" culture in 4chan, where the absurd became nihilism and then it came the grooming;

>TW:
<Brainworms
<Depression
<Slurs(?)

think Bailey Jay, tranchan and "trap aesthetics" guides, faproulette?

at least for me it was an important part of my self-discovery as a depressed teen isolated and with no education on what even trans people, spending time between IBs only interacting with terminally online incels at the peak of my delayed puberty

Giving up and taking my first steps in gender exploration i realized i had to make a choice between "malebrained" nihilist spaces and actually transitioning, fast forward to the present i'm here, brainworms and a shaky early transition due to contact with transmedicalists overlapping with Blanchardism makes me stick to /tttt/ culture

and here's where i make a pause to make a critique of "transmedicalism" not as a method but as a cope starved for validation
I once got kicked for "comparing it to nazism" while making the comparison to how quoting Evola doesn't make you a nazi/fascist, but puts you in a place where you're at least adjacent to nazi/fascist ideas.

now let's think the two sides of terminally online trans spaces: trans hugboxes and trans brainworm nests

they're different enough in "vibe" and yet they both represent a terminally online space where both positive and negative feedbacks of self-affirming dogmas and paranoias.

As a result of this i struggle constantly with the concept of Autogynephilia to a point where it affects my bf;
as an outsider he doesn't understand it, but he has an aversion to the concept and a desire to understand it as he wishes to understand me.

I've infected a cis person with brainworms.

I have to tell him it's not real but he says there seems to be a degree of credibility to it. it hurts me, and even without that second opinion the fact that Blanchardism has been co-opted by trans spaces, in fact the mere fact the AGP typology is still part of the DSM-V is hurtful even if i recognize psychology under capitalism seeks to colonize such conditions; in order to explain it to a group of scholars who clearly have no interest in the wellbeing of the people they pathologize.

How do we break this cycle?

we have the Thesis; a pathology that makes trans women in particular (for some reason) dwell in a cycle of self hate which innevitably overlaps with the same nihilistic worldview that degenerated IBs into what they are today

and on the other side the Anti-thesis; the hugbox where you won't hear any of this, their sisters are falling apart and their reaction is "fuck them, they're rude and their negativity makes me sad, best of luck but fuck you", liberalism in it's maximum expression, *every woman by herself.* if i pump the music higher i won't hear their screams.

what would be the next step to break this cycle? do we engage? do we appropriate? how would you organize this purposefully balkanized community?

nature of belief

Recently I've been thinking about why people believe in things, why they act or think in one way or the other. I am now leaning towards "people believe in X or Y to justify killing people".

I really hate to be a doomer or use my fee-fees for opinions but all the drama on twitter, all the bullshit i see on the internet or irl is getting to me

I spent a bit reading up on people's opinions, on some historical massacres, the genocides in sudan, palestine, the cultural revolution and the blood spilled there, the horrible crimes committed in the name of capital or communism or liberation or fascism and I think I understand a bit more about people now.

My dad and I often argue about one thing or another - and i love the man, but he is stubborn and old - and one of those arguments was about empathy. I argued that it is intrinsic, and not just a learned behavior. He argued against it, and now I think he was right

People dont *really* care about achieving a political goal (tho some do). What they care about is justifying their behavior. And most people are crude, violent apes, who behave accordingly. In every age people thought they were the enlightened Modern Man - free of the barbarity of the past. They thought that as they murdered their neighbours, raped children and whatever. So many people just want a group they can hate - whether its brown people, trans people, jews, women, atheists, muslims. Anyone who isnt you, basically.

Doesnt matter which political belief, doesnt matter who or what you are, doesnt matter where or when you live. Most people just want an US and a THEM, and the more of THEM that are subject to violence the better.

How can i begin believing in humanity again when hate mobs kill transhumanists like me, when soldiers murder, steal and rape all over the globe, when people all around the world justify the deaths of innocent people because of how or where they were born?

Why is it so hard for people to see others as people?

Why do right-wing grifters like pensandpoison and that Joon girl complain endlessly about “Marxism” and “wokeness” allegedly killing the artistry of modern literature when right-wing conservatives were pumping out all sorts of slop novels in the 90s and 2000s? Picrel, for instance, was about a state governor covering up his daughter’s death from a botched abortion because he needed support from abortion rights orgs to win his re-election and is later exposed by a Christian news anchor with prophetic powers; this crap is no different from a Sally Rooney novel or “Yesteryear” just neocon/Evangelical in orientation with the same dogshit writing style.

MAGA Pedos on Dark Web Plotting against LGBT

I have come across the most insane and disturbing thing. It's a screen recording on I found on another imageboard, buried somewhere deep with no traction or replies, of a deepweb forum called "The Playground".

The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed. And even more disturbingly, it seems these people are in powerful positions, extremely affluent and have a lot of access to power.

The insane thing is that these are the exact people who are spreading the pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies and hysteria, and several right paramilitaries seem to be involved, eg. Oath Keepers (one guy even posts that they were acquitted for January 6th) and Proud Boys, offering human trafficking services on this board.

There is a lot of mention of the MAGA figures, Bondi, Hesgeth and Tulsi Gabbard - in her case there's even a thread ostensibly containing some sort of videos of her. There's talk of Heritage Foundation and their president Jim DeMint. There's mentions of Silicon Valley figures such as Curtis Yarvin, Musk and Sheryl Sandberg (her supposed "personal collection"). There are several references to Orban and trips to Hungary are advertised. This is just scratching the service of everything that can be seen in the screen recording, which was anonymously uploaded to archive.org by a woman that found this page open on her father's computer.

The leak seems pretty recent, dated to March 2025. I did some searches, but I can't find anything else on it, so it must be extremely secretive. It seems that this has gone completely under the radar, so I'm bringing it here for your consideration. And frankly, I'm scared, because I do think it's real. This is too far out there to be fake, I don't think anyone has an imagination wild enough to come up with this.

Here are the links to the screen recordings and screenshots of the board. There's no graphic content in the videos but a lot of graphic discussions.

/gamedev/

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

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

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

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

The schizos who wanna take the site down

I'm trying to figure out who these guys are associated with, right? Depending on which one of them it is they either take an ACP style tone (grrrrrrrrrr trans mods grrrrrrrrrrrr, we gonna get u perverts grrrrrrrrrrr) or they take a Black Hammer style tone (we are the juche arrmy, we do not forgive, we do not forget, we have over 99999 LLMs running psychological operation against you). They say they are against taking this site down through "bourgeois justice" but then will tell everyone to report this website to the FBI, the CIA, and every other US government agency. They seemingly have infinite money to pour into VPNs. The Juche guy even claimed to use stolen devices to attack this site so he will never be implicated in our "epstein crimes." It has created a general atmosphere of paranoia and unease, as if at any moment our years of effortposts about political economy or US imperialism might be taken down, and all of us lumped in with whatever gooner shit got posted on here. I feel like this could actually be spearheaded by cops or something. It's very bizarre. I know the US government wants everyone to get off anonymous sites like this, even "clearnet" sites, and to go to reddit or instagram or whatever else dogshit social media website is hyper moderated and hyper surveilled. It really feels like the internet sucks more than ever, and what few corners we have left to talk shit are getting mopped up by a fed operation. It's depressing but shouldn't bother me. I would actually rejoice at the end of this addictive toy if it weren't for the fact that I'm slightly paranoid the actual CIA, FBI, cops, and "epstein class" is larping as the pedo hunters in order to take down random leftoids and their dying websites. The guy in screenshots related even uses the term "legitimate targets" associated with Jackson Hinkle's self-branding on twitter. Haz once said "report that website" which got turned into a banner. Those guys work with the state department, through Tulsi Gabbard. Makes me kind of nauseous to consider all the angles of who could be doing this.

The essence of Grift is to create a problem that exists but doesn't need to exist, and to repeatedly sell a whackamole solution to it that doesn't get at the root cause of the problem.

My favorite 2 are law enforcement and drug rehab.
Drug rehab doesn't actually remove addictive substances from society, it just charges people exorbitant fees to "Recover" no drug rehab center actually has a long term financial interest in seeing drug addiction permanently eradicated.

Law enforcement officials often cause or exacerbate crime by being military occupiers of urban communities they don't even live in. Crime takes the form of resistance against the police, and the police view the population they "enforce the laws" against as disobedient animals. A cop loves nothing more than to plant drugs on a homeless person and use that as a pretext for arresting them, or to bait a person into illegal behavior through provocation, as a pretext for arresting them. Pig stations get more budgets based on the arrests they make and tickets they give, so there is a direct incentive for them to create more crime to get more budget, even if it means creating crime that would otherwise not exist. Crime is a byproduct of policing also because capital hungers for prison labor, which comes more cheaply and with less legal protections than the standard "free" working class population.

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.

Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie.

Leftypol: Operation chudaloo 2

I've been noticing a lot of chudposters on this website lately who are infiltrating this site with soyculture, pepes, and bringing reactionary politics like magacom here without any drop of irony. Some filenames on here are also racial slurs. The rule on letting all leftist ideas blossom here is starting to show it's cracks and what else is there to do than to just kneel as soychuggers are migrating here to find a sense of home or inclusion after their shitty admin allows for beheaded black children to be posted.

<tinfoil hat statement incoming
This is either by design or the mods of the website have started to lean in on reactionary thought for a financial gain (how ironic).

It's also ridiculous just how much some users on here (especially the magacoms) who completely separate themselves from marxism and any high autism score conversation, it also feels as if anytime something crazy happens in the world of politics they are the first loud minority to derail EVERYTHING.

This website is actively falling apart, it has never been this bad in a while and I beg for anybody who feels the same way I do to reply to this thread as an act of concern, or criticism.

Why don't Russia and China make games where you fight USA/NATO with cinematic campaigns?

Video games are the most efficient ways of delivering propaganda and you can tell just by how much controversy they generate and the youtube video essays rebuttals that come afterwards.
Only the west is taking advantage of this. Meanwhile China is trying to get on the west's good graces. Even Russia with its shitty philosophical Atomic Heart bullshit didn't cut it.

No. They must make Chinese COD where you do Black Ops shit like blow up Data Centers and Liberate an ICE facility, followed by a TNO The Fire Rises-style civil war missions. Trust me, American slop consumers would love that shit. I could write the campaign and in any decently run universe I would get an Oscar for it.

Anybody got any ideas how the anti-imperialist countries can make COD-like games?

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:

>disabled (sperg)
>assets in the 10000s of euros.

books/studies/docs on socialist symbolism and iconography

It’s a topic I’ve been thinking about, the history of socialist symbols and icons, not so much in terms of their actual politics, but in terms of how people who lived under these political systems related to them. Many didn’t necessarily understand the political processes or ideology behind the systems, but they genuinely liked these systems and embraced them enough to apply their own traditional forms of praise and reverence to them. This could mean displaying portraits of prominent communist figures in their homes, creating effigies of them, or adopting the hammer and sickle or variations of it as a kind of national or cultural symbol.

2026 French protests will die out

The ongoing student, and non-student protests (and also those of Belgium, Italy, and Albania to a weaker extent) are promising signs of revolution, BUT if this is only the start it is the end.

Occuptions, student strikes, riotting, and arson don't overthrow the state only dual power (ex establishing parallel political Institutions) will make these amount to anything beyond a histotical footnote. The only form of dual power that exists is theoractial, and I will give credit to the students attempting to create assembies and trade unions also attempting so, but unless THEY ACTUALLY DO IT the protests will be a fail.

And if these fail the state will just have more of a justifcation to further its surveillance state and prevent anymore uprisings, this is why the USA looks pathetic right now its not because people aren't mad its because the bourgesis state kidnaps anyone who attempts them and aids reformist liberals.

TLDR no organization dual power = these protests will die out and stregthen the bourgesis state in the long-term.

This shows up in disparate cultural and societal structures. How do you think we can build a communist society when people at 90 autism score or lower cannot understand counterfactuals i.e. hypothetical situations?

When gender abolition is just forcing everyone to be male

Has anyone else noticed when some people call for the abolition of gender (which is a position I sympathise with even though it is ultra-leftist to expect society to do away with it right now) just seem to be asking for all femininity to be erased? Like when people, and I'm assuming its mostly men trans or cis, say that we need to stop having gender, they also say long hair and pretty clothes need to be banned, and everyone should just be strong and masculine. It feels not many people are expecting gender abolition to cause everyone to become feminine. Idk its interesting hearing about this. I'm reminded of the anime Simoune where the baddies are all transmasc industrialists (I did support them when I watched it because they were historically progressive industrialists). That's basically a vision of gender abolition actually being women abolition. When you talk to lots of people you will hear this. Just ask King Lear what he thinks.

So what are the flaws of dengist economics?

So say a Marxist-Leninist economy has all of the stuff important to the state nationalized and operating under scientific planning, it tries to give the basic needs of life like employment and housing to everyone as possible, but there's additionally a private sector for commodity circulation because trying to micromanage every small business to the smallest detail is silly in general. The private sector is heavily regulated to prevent them from subverting the rest of society, and also taxed to help pay for the rest of society.

So what exactly is bad about this generally speaking? Especially on a neoliberal Earth where the international elite, outside of china, can flee and go anywhere and has no accountability? The strategy of dengist economics has produced the same results that people like Mao and Stalin wanted out of their countries like mass industrialization, electrification, and prosperity but at the same time holding their own societal elites accountable.

90 Years of the Long March

Speech at the Ceremony Marking the 105th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China

XI JINPING

Comrades and friends,

Today, we gather to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. We meet to reflect on the glorious journey our Party has traveled, to look ahead to the bright prospects for the cause of our Party and our people, and to rally all Party members and the Chinese people to march with confidence and courage toward the goal of building a great modern socialist country and realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

First, on behalf of our Party’s Central Committee, I would like to extend greetings to all members of our Party on this occasion. I also wish to warmly congratulate the recipients of the July 1 Medal, as well as the outstanding Party members, exemplary Party affairs workers, and advanced primary-level Party organizations from across the country being honored here today.

Comrades and friends,

One hundred and five years ago, out of the great awakening of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation and the close integration of Marxism-Leninism with the Chinese workers’ movement, the Communist Party of China was born. From that moment on, the Chinese people and the Chinese nation had in the Party a truly dependable anchor. The long-enfeebled and impoverished China, embattled by internal turmoil and foreign aggression, thus embarked on a historic and earthshaking transformation.

Over the past 105 years, our Party has remained true to its original aspiration and founding mission: to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. With a deep insight into the prevailing trends of global development and an accurate grasp of the principal challenges facing Chinese society in each historical period, it has united and led the Chinese people in pursuing tireless endeavor. Together, we have achieved great accomplishments in the new-democratic revolution; in socialist revolution and construction; in reform, opening up, and socialist modernization; and in socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era—writing the most magnificent chapter in the millennia-long history of the Chinese nation.

Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have fundamentally reshaped the future and destiny of the Chinese people. Our Party led the people through a great and surging struggle, toppling the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat-capitalism and founding the People’s Republic of China where the people become the masters of the country, thus finally bringing an end to the semi-colonial, semi-feudal history of old China. We achieved a historic transformation in living standards, rising from bare subsistence to moderate prosperity in general, and then to moderate prosperity in all respects. Today, the Chinese people hold their future firmly in their own hands, and with confidence, self-reliance, and strength, they are striding toward an even brighter tomorrow.

Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have carved out the right path toward national rejuvenation. Throughout the periods of revolution, construction, reform, and the new era, our Party has led the people through untold hardships, charting and following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In just a few decades, we have completed an industrialization process that took developed countries several centuries, and in doing so, we have achieved the two miracles of rapid economic growth and enduring social stability. Today, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is advancing with irresistible momentum, unfolding prospects brighter than ever before.

Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have demonstrated the immense vitality of Marxism. Our Party has consistently integrated the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and the best elements of its traditional culture, continuously adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. This has given rise to Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, enriching and developing Marxism in the process. Today, all the vigor and vitality of Chinese socialism stand as ample proof of Marxism’s scientific nature and objective truth, its people-centered and practical orientation, and its openness and capacity to advance with the times.

Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have profoundly influenced the course of world history. Always standing on the right side of history and on the side of human progress, our Party has, through its continuing efforts, profoundly reshaped the trajectory and landscape of global development. Today, by leading the people in advancing Chinese modernization, we have created a new form of human civilization and broadened the pathways by which developing countries can achieve modernization. By promoting the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, we are contributing Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and Chinese strength to resolving the major challenges facing humankind. Under the Party’s leadership, socialist China is recognized the world over as a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order.

Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have forged a strong Communist Party of China. Ever mindful of its nature and purpose as a Marxist party and the goals toward which it strives, our Party has carried forward its great founding spirit. Through every hardship, our will has been tempered; through every trial, we have emerged only stronger. Today, our Party is the world’s largest governing party, with significant influence on the global stage. Having the wholehearted endorsement and support of our people, it serves as the strong leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Without question, it has proved itself fully worthy of being called a great, glorious, and correct party.

Comrades and friends,

We owe all that we have achieved over the past 105 years to the tireless endeavor of the Chinese people, united and led by generation after generation of Chinese Communists. These Chinese Communists, with Comrades Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao as their chief representatives, have made tremendous and historic contributions to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. To them, we pay the highest tribute.

Let us take this moment to honor the memory of Comrades Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun, and other revolutionaries of the older generation, and the memory of Comrade Jiang Zemin. We honor as well the revolutionary martyrs and noble-minded patriots who gave their lives, or devoted their all, to national independence, the liberation of the people, the prosperity of the nation, and the happiness of the people. The monumental contributions they made to our country and our nation are engraved forever in the annals of history, and their lofty spirit will endure in the hearts of millions upon millions of our people.

The people are the creators of history; they are the true heroes. Here, on behalf of the Central Committee, I would like to pay our highest respects to people working diligently on every front across the nation, and to public figures from all sectors of society. I would like to extend our sincere greetings to our fellow countrymen and women in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, in Taiwan, and residing overseas. And I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to people and friends around the world who have shown friendship to the Chinese people and understanding and support for China’s endeavors in revolution, construction, and reform.

Comrades and friends,

Our Party has been able to achieve one glory after another over its 105-year journey and earn the recognition of history and the people, fundamentally because it possesses the following fine qualities unmatched by any other political party or force.

• A dedication to the pursuit of truth enables our Party to always advance in the right direction. Regarding Marxism as a powerful intellectual instrument for transforming both our subjective and objective worlds, our Party has remained committed to freeing the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, and taking a realistic and pragmatic approach. It has endeavored to reveal and apply the truth within the evolving contradictions of society, to test and develop that truth through practice, and to use new theories to guide new practice. This ensures that the cause of the Party and the people always advances in the right direction.

• Deep roots among the people enable our Party to always stand on solid ground. Based on the firm belief that this country is the people and the people are the country, our Party has committed itself to serving the public good and governing for the people. It has consciously fulfilled its fundamental purpose of wholeheartedly serving the people, standing firmly with the people, sharing their aspirations, and working alongside them. All this has created a strong and unshakable foundation for our Party.

• A determination to shoulder its historic mission enables our Party to always maintain the strategic initiative. Guided by the lofty ideal of communism and a firm commitment to achieving lasting greatness for the Chinese nation, our Party has carried upon its shoulders the heavy responsibilities entrusted to it by history and the people. Aligning long-term goals with objectives of each stage, it has defined its central tasks in response to changes in the principal challenge facing Chinese society, and it has formulated and implemented the correct line, principles, and policies to maintain leadership and initiative in advancing our development.

• A readiness to adapt to the trends of development enables our Party to always remain at the forefront of the times. With a keen sense of history and a broad global vision, our Party has maintained a clear grasp of China’s actual conditions and the defining themes of the times, proactively identifying, responding to, and steering changes. Forging ahead with determination and a pioneering spirit, it has ensured that all its undertakings advance with the times, conform to the objective laws of development, and are innovative in nature. In this way, it has steered the country and the nation forward in step with the logic of history and the trends of development, fully proving itself a pioneer of the times and the backbone of the nation.

• The courage and competence to carry on its fight enable our Party to always maintain firm confidence in victory. Bearing in mind the interests of the people, the country, and the nation as well as its ideals and convictions, our Party has fought bravely and forged ahead against all odds without fear of sacrifice. No matter how formidable the adversary, how treacherous the path, or how severe the challenge, it has remained undaunted and unyielding. With an iron will that no storm or difficulty can shake, it has inspired the people of the entire country to advance from one victory to the next.

• A commitment to self-strengthening enables our Party to always retain its vitality. Keenly aware that it takes a good blacksmith to forge good steel, our Party is committed to examining itself through the lens of the changing times, keeping itself alert through a strong awareness of potential dangers, and improving itself in a spirit of self-reform. We attach great importance to self-improvement and are determined to remove any elements that would harm the Party’s advanced nature and integrity and any viruses that would erode the Party’s health. It is through this revolutionary tempering that our Party has grown ever stronger.

These fine qualities hold the key to the success of the Communist Party of China. We must continue to develop and carry forward these qualities in line with new realities to ensure that the Party never changes its nature, its convictions, or its character and always maintains strong creativity, cohesion, and capability.

Comrades and friends,

Great accomplishments are built through aspiration and diligence. To fulfill the Party’s mission and tasks on the new journey in the new era, all Chinese Communists must stand firm in confidence and carry on our endeavor, continuously delivering new feats worthy of the times and the people.

• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must uphold the Party’s basic theory, basic line, and basic policy. These are major achievements secured through painstaking exploration by the Party and the people, and they serve as the fundamental guide for advancing the development of the Party and the country. On the journey ahead, the whole Party must maintain the resolve to keep to our path and uphold our convictions. We must uphold the Party’s overall leadership and the centralized, unified leadership of the Central Committee, thoroughly implement the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and remain confident in the path, theory, system, and culture of Chinese socialism. We must build on past achievements to advance our cause, and break new ground while upholding fundamental principles. With all this, our view will never be obscured by passing clouds, and we will brave the wind and waves without ever losing our bearings.

• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must rely closely on the people to make further achievements. Upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is a shared undertaking of the entire Party and the people across the country. On the journey ahead, the whole Party must work with renewed drive and resolve to rally the Chinese people and lead them in breaking new ground. We must ensure coordinated implementation of the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy, fully and faithfully apply the new development philosophy, and move faster to create a new pattern of development through solid progress in pursuing high-quality development. Acting on the people-centered development philosophy, we must promote whole-process people’s democracy and consolidate and strengthen the great unity of all ethnic groups, of all Chinese people, and of all sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. By unleashing the motivation, initiative, and creativity of more than one billion Chinese people, we will create a mighty force for advancing Chinese modernization.

• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must proactively address risks and challenges on the road ahead. China remains in a stage of development where strategic opportunities exist alongside risks and challenges, and uncertainties and unforeseen factors are on the rise. We must be prepared at all times to brave high winds, choppy waters, and even dangerous storms. On the journey ahead, the whole Party must heighten our awareness of potential dangers, keep in mind worst-case scenarios, and strengthen our readiness and competence to carry on our fight. We must better balance domestic and international imperatives, ensure both development and security, and build up our ability to rationally anticipate changes, promptly identify risks, and effectively address challenges. Through these efforts, we will ensure that the giant ship of national rejuvenation can navigate turbulent waters and continue sailing steadily forward.

• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must continue to promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity. With changes unseen in a century unfolding at an ever faster pace, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation. Humanity once again stands at a crossroads, facing a choice about which way to turn. On the journey ahead, we will follow the will of the people and the trend of the times. We will uphold peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit, champion the common values of all humanity, and work to foster a new type of international relations. We will act on the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilizations Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative to inject greater positive energy into world peace and development.

• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must make unremitting efforts to promote full and rigorous Party self-governance, which remains an ongoing process. On the journey ahead, we must fully implement the thinking on Party development for the new era as well as the overall requirements for strengthening the Party in this era. We will focus on enhancing the Party’s capacity for long-term governance, preserving its advanced nature and integrity, and maintaining its close bond with the people. To this end, we will improve the system for exercising full and rigorous Party self-governance, strengthen the Party in all respects with reinforcing its political foundation as the overarching guide, and keep waging the tough, protracted, and all-out battle against corruption. We will further strengthen our Party’s capacity for political leadership, theoretical guidance, organizing the people, and inspiring society, so as to ensure that the Party always remains the strong leadership core in the historic endeavor to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

Why do so many of these "revolutions" happen with students? I dont get it, students are not even proles. They are mostly parasites living on their parents income, or they get paid to study in some European social democracies. Some of them work in part time, but they rarely actually participate in worker struggles at their work, they just protest for stupid shit like "democracy" or "muh welfare gibs"

Its retarded, I hate it so much. I fully support the bourgeoisie cracking down on students.

Trump on the Epstein list is "a step toward normalization"

These fags want to remove the age of consent laws and normalize pedophilia
They think Trump will do that by making people ignore his involvement in child abuse
