bbc sent me another alert about the shooter
you'd think this was nuclear level mass killing with the amount of alerts i've gotten

>>2451059
That would literally be 1984

more people die yearly from the flu and car crashes than mass shootings but mass shootings are sensational because of the weirdos who do them and the desperation of everyone to find out what demographic they were so they can either do scapegoating or feel relief.

The housing issue continues to cause significant problems in our operations. It prevents sustainability. And without sustainability, how can there be success?

My mindset has shifted: no longer one of personal failure, but one of intel gathering.

How much does it cost monthly to keep me housed? What issues have I faced? What holds me back from organizing more? How am I eating? What have I learned through struggle?

Instead of feeling worthless because I cannot secure this on my own, I have to accept that I am the first case study for the goals of the collective. Because the goal is replication.

No more self-comparisons to well-paid pundits. We know they are not building; they are entertainers. We cannot replicate capitalist hierarchies in our own spaces. Just because I do not make 40k a month on Patreon, like some of these people, does not mean my work, my goals, my perspective, are less valuable.

Document the struggles. Document what I need in order to actually do the work. Then: find paths to donor funding. Then: replicate—so that 15–20 people can eventually work full-time under the collective banner, building revolutionary culture in 12 different cities.

Everything must be shared openly. Documented by example. There can be no shame in accepting support. Supporters back the mission, and we continue the mission.

Too many self-proclaimed communists in the West clutch their copies of The Communist Manifesto while hurling criticism at China, oblivious to what communism actually demands in practice. They romanticize a pure, abstract revolution—classless, stateless, perfect—yet fail to grapple with the messy reality of building socialism in a world dominated by imperialist capital. China’s path, with its state-led development and strategic market integration, isn’t a betrayal of communism but a pragmatic response to global capitalism’s chokehold. These armchair Marxists ignore how China lifted millions from poverty while navigating a hostile world order, instead whining about “authoritarianism” through a lens tinted by Western propaganda. True communism isn’t dogmatic purity; it’s dialectical, adapting to material conditions. Criticizing China without understanding its historical and geopolitical context isn’t revolutionary—it’s just posturing that serves the status quo.

>"it's just some israelis buying some drones for personal use on aliexpress"
<DJI is a private Chinese company and the world’s top UAV seller, controlling two thirds of the global market. The company specializes in civilian UAVs and aerial imaging technology.

<DJI is most known for its ‘Phantom’ – an unmanned mini quadrotor helicopter, which has become popular amongst aerial photographers. DJI’s Phantom drone is the world’s most common civilian drone.


<DJI UAVs are used by the Israeli military, police and private Israeli companies for surveillance and crowd control in the occupied East Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza.


<In 2018, Israeli media reported that the Israeli company Ispra developed the Cyclone riot control system to fit on DJI drones. The Cyclone system is a specifically designed system installed on UAVs to unleash tear gas on protesters. On 30 March 2018, identical technology was used by the Israeli military against protesters in Gaza taking part in the Great March of Return marking the 42 anniversary of Land Day.


<Photo evidence obtained by the campaigning group, Hamushim, shows that DJI’s Matrice 600 drone was used by the Israeli military to drop tear gas on protesters in Gaza taking part in the Great March of Return activities, stretching between March and June 2018. The system installed on DJI’s UAV unleashing the gas on protesters was manufactured by the Canadian company, Actuonix Motion Devices.


<By the end of 2017, every commander in the Israeli military’s Infantry, Border Defence and combat Intelligence Units had a DJI drone at his disposal to use during crackdowns against Palestinians and intelligence gathering operations.

(From "The Other Lenin" by Alexander Maysuryan. Moscow: 2006.) (Майсурян А. А. Другой Ленин. М., 2006.)

Lenin's opinion towards Nechaev was closely intertwined with Lenin's opinion on the "revolting, yet genius" Dostoevsky. Lenin decided not to read "The Demons" […] Lenin admitted: ["Demons" is] Evidently reactionary filth, like Krestovsky's "Flock of Panurge", I have absolutely no desire to waste time on it. I have no need for such literature; what could it possibly give me? […] I have no free time for this garbage."

Lenin held the author's other works in no higher regard. On "The Brothers Karamazov" along with "Demons" he expressed himself in this way: "I am familiar with the content of both these pungent works, and that is more than enough for me. I just about began reading the "Brothers Karamazov" and then dropped it: the scenes in the monastery made me sick."

Lenin did, though, read the novel "Crime and Punishment". One of his comrades remarked to him in the heat of an argument:

"One could easily arrive at Raskolnikov's "All is permitted" at this rate."

"What Raskolnikov?"

"Dostoevky's, from "Crime and Punishment".

Lenin followed up with unbridled contempt: "All is permitted"?! So we have come down to the sentiments and petty words of a soppy intellectual wishing to drown revolutionary questions in moralising vomit. Just which Raskolnikov are you talking about? The one who whacked the old money-lending bitch, or the one who clapped his forehead against the ground in penitent hysterics at the market-place later on? Perhaps […] that sort of thing appeals to you? […]

love dostoyevskys writing but i can completely understand and appreciate that as a russian who had lived under and fought against the monarchy, lenin would be repulsed by his sentimentalism and liberalism (i think calling dostoyevsky a reactionary is a bit unfair ultimately). the periods dostoyevsky wrote about were very much in living memory and dostoyevsky didnt only turn his back on his early revolutionary activity, he became suspicious of even reform and focused on religion. lenin encountered many unprincipled liberals like that and its totally reasonable for him to resent dostoyevsky as a traitor even if in retrospect the details of his political life end up mostly being a footnote to his literature

OMG IM LITERALLY LENIN IM GOING TO READ HIS BOOKS RECS OMGGGGGGGGGGG THIS IS COMMUNISM!!!!!!!!!!

srsly who gaf except for losers to whom communism is just some online pastime

Lenin sounds like a dick tbqh

In the lavrov interview the nbc girl was bitching about Russia hitting some factory on the Ukrainian border because it was American owned, but maybe that didn't trigger a reaction because it just made "coffee makers"

>Lithuania’s parliament Tuesday approved Inga Ruginienė — a longtime trade unionist and political newcomer — as prime minister, following the resignation of Gintautas Paluckas amid allegations about his financial dealings.

>Ruginienė, 44, now has 15 days to submit the government’s program — which will be focused on security, economic growth and social welfare, and will likely look similar to the previous program — to the parliament.


>Social Democrat Ruginienė entered politics last year, taking the social security and labor portfolio in the government. Until then, her career was rooted in the trade union movement: she served in senior positions in both Lithuanian and European union organizations.

rofl you know reactionary doesnt mean "social values i dont like", right

when the whole world is already capitalist liberals are reactionary and only communism is progressive

I don't agree with the definition
reactionaries in the past tried to go back to feudalism, hence their sometimes shallow anti-capitalism, I think Thomas Carlyle was one such person
liberals want to keep the same order as is, not go back in history

WTF does this even mean. theres the proletarian movement which almost no union leader has anything to do with, much less a politician

Israeli airstrikes on Al-Kiswah, southwest of Damascus. This is the fourth time they've struck this area for the past 2 days.
Additionally, a (presumably Israeli) helicopter was active over the area yesterday.

sincerely what do you get from these videos? I don't understand it. Half the time it's just someone waving it in a pitch black night.

>>2450210 (samefag)
According to some sources, Israeli SOF performed an operation in the military base near that area during the night, hence the presence of helicopters.
>>2450213
Visual and audio confirmation of events is important.

According to Israel, the recent raid on the military base southwest of Damascus was over Turkish spying equipment there trying to gather intel on Israeli forces.

Letter from R.I. Kosolapov to the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, "Comrade" M.S. Gorbachev (1986)
To the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Comrade M.S. Gorbachev

Dear Mikhail Sergeevich!

For several months now I have felt an urgent need for a frank conversation with you (even a brief one) about the nature and direction of the work of "Kommunist" in the current conditions. Usually the editor-in-chief of the magazine was invited for such a conversation by the newly elected General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee.

Rumors persistently leak out from academic and literary, journalistic and even church circles, from foreign embassies about me as a "disgraced" editor, who "backed the wrong horse", came "out of place", etc. These rumors cannot help but make the Kommunist workers nervous and affect their attitude toward the editorial board. I must immediately note that I have never backed any "horses", have never attached myself to any "courts", have never belonged to any group, and have always considered myself a party man. All comrades who are impartial toward me, who have observed my behavior over the course of twenty years of work in the Central Committee apparatus, know this. The fact that I, like other party members, carried out the orders of the three previous general secretaries, cannot discredit me.

Of course, I did not contact you for career reasons. They have not played a role in my life. I am concerned with something else - maintaining the authority of the theoretical journal of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the trust in it of the readership that has grown in the last period, and the maximum use in the interests of the party of the potential of a talented, combat-ready team, which we have basically managed to put together over the past ten years.

Over the course of a quarter of a century, since my first major publication, in addition to the positive development of theoretical issues, I have had the opportunity to participate, to the best of my ability, in polemics against right and “left” opportunism, versions of Yugoslav and market socialism, Maoism, Czechoslovak revisionism, “Eurocommunism.” Against voluntary and involuntary burps of petty bourgeoisness, erroneous interpretations of current problems, which, alas, are still encountered, and sometimes intensified, in our press.

Thus, at the end of the 60s, I spoke outPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Letter from R.I. Kosolapov to the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Comrade N.I. Ryzhkov (1989)


To the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Comrade Ryzhkov N.I. (1989)


Dear Nikolai Ivanovich!

I and many of my colleagues are increasingly concerned about both the deterioration of the general state of the national economy and the growth of tension in society, as well as the incompetence of the recommendations of those scientists who have been turned into a monopolistic group of advisers to the top leadership of the party and the state. I am writing to you in this way because I can judge the subject professionally and know some of these people personally.

In essence, the model proposed by representatives of the academic school of economists boils down to the formation in our country, along with the necessary market for goods, also a free market for capital and labor. In social terms, this meant restoring the commodity character of labor and its bourgeois exploitation, undermining the right to work. The formation of a market as a comprehensive system with its inherent subsystems, attributes and institutions is a long and difficult matter. In the West, it took several centuries. Therefore, the hope that, having adopted the market model, we will quickly become one of the advanced countries, cannot be characterized otherwise than as utopian capitalism. At first, a powerful Western competitor "will certainly break our native industry" (Lenin). We will not become a prosperous Sweden or Australia, the FRG or Canada due to objective circumstances. At best, the USSR will be relegated to the position of Brazil or India in world economic relations for decades, with growing social contrasts and collisions (including the development of class struggle) within the country.

The incessant attacks on public property and planned economic management, on democratic centralism and the socialist state, the possibilities and advantages of which we have only partially used, are surprising and indignant. Taking advantage of our historical forgetfulness, some authors praise private property and profit, and claim the legitimacy of distribution not according to labor, but according to social agility. It is with bitterness that we have to Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
