Hi IVE been a communist for a few years now at least I think though the problem is that IVE neve read Marx
Though I have read the 1st paragraph of the communist manifesto however im not sure if im still communist I support AES and the ussr etc… though to be fair IVE only ever read 2-5 books(not counting textbooks)(counting assigned books) in my 20+ years of existing im also autistic though IVE watched communist videos on YouTube in fact that’s how I found this site and my ideology and political views and my personality IVE also watched Finnishbolshevs video on the history of phillosophy so am I just too stupid to understand Marx or even any philosophy and reading or am I a larper(dont feel as that’s the case as IVE been a communist for 3 years and have tried to learn more) or am I a truly faithful to the cause and a great true communist revolutionary im also not apart of any orgs

>nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli on Wednesday renewed his call for imprisoned Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) founder Abdullah Ocalan to be granted a legal “right to hope” that could eventually allow his release, after becoming the first person to sign a new framework bill for Turkey’s ongoing Kurdish peace process.

<After becoming first signatory to Turkey’s peace process bill, Bahceli also called for the release of jailed former Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirtas and the reinstatement of elected mayors Ahmet Turk and Ahmet Ozer, who were removed from office and replaced by government-appointed trustees.


>“I am saying the same thing again. Selahattin Demirtas should return home, the Ahmets should return to their posts, and Ocalan should be granted the right to hope. Turkey must find peace,” Bahceli said.

Why is the arch Conservative saying this? I don't really get it

>China’s criminal policy of “Two Restraints, One Leniency” (liangshao yikuan 两少一宽) was enacted during the administration of reformist leader Hu Yaobang (1982-1987). Derived from a Soviet-era policy that granted regional autonomy and preferential protection to ethnic minorities, the policy had the intended purpose of strengthening the political loyalty of ethnic minorities in the multi-national country. Hu believed that granting sufficient autonomy to members of ethnic minority groups was indispensable for safeguarding national unity. To this end, Hu improved ethnic representation in politics across autonomous regions. This progressive policy was reversed by Deng Xiaoping and Hu’s successors. In 1984, Hu pushed through the Central Committee Document Number Five, a new criminal policy which called on law enforcement to be lenient towards criminal offenders from ethnic minority groups by making fewer arrests and handing down fewer executions and lighter sentences to ethnic minority offenders.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liangshaoyikuan
>Liangshaoyikuan (Chinese: 兩少一寬; lit. 'two fewers [in arrests and executions] and one leniency [in sentencing]'), was a policy of the government of the People's Republic of China of giving leniency in charges and sentences with regard to minorities as compared to Han for the same criminal offenses.[1] The policy was enacted in 1984 by Peng Zhen and Hu Yaobang. On July 9, 2010, a statement jointly published by the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party, State Ethnic Affairs Commission, and United Front Work Department suggested that "everyone should be equal before the law, and criminals should be punished regardless of their ethnicity". However, they do not have the legal authority to challenge a policy implemented by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, a higher authority; the policy has thus never been officially repealed.

The emergence of capitalism is recent and things have accelerated faster than people can adapt to. We are used to foraging, hunting, farming, fishing, or scavenging. But now you can work in the rat wheel for 8 hours a day for five days a week, at minimum, to be able to afford obesity, rentals, and carcinogenic drugs. Capitalism is awkward to humankind; we are used to frolicking freely in the sun.

Replace "capitalism" with "civilisation" and you are even more correct.

C'est surtout qu'on n'en a complémentent rien à cirer en fait. On n'est plus en 1930.

Les trotskistes ont une fonction particulière: à chaque élection présidentielle, on avait Olivier Besancenot puis Philippe Poutou d'un côté, et Arlette Laguiller puis Nathalie Arthaud de l'autre, avec autant de temps de parole que des raclures comme Sarko, Fillon, Le Pen, Bayrou, Philippe de Villiers et tutti quanti, une fois tous les cinq ans à la télévision.
Leur fonction, c'est d'introduire les citoyens lambda aux bases du Marxisme, à la lutte des classes, de leur dire que les patrons profitent allégrement sur leurs dos, dans un langage simple et accessible à tout le monde. Et c'est une bonne chose. Pas mal de gens lambda les trouvent plutôt sympathiques, notamment Poutou.
Ils ont quelques adhérents sur les campus universitaires, mais c'est tout.

Pour l'anecdote, Mélenchon est à la base un lambertiste qui a fait de l'entrisme dans le PS, et franchement, je vois pas ce qu'on peut lui reprocher à ce niveau là, il a eu le courage de créer son propre mouvement, Zemmour et Éric Naulleau à l'époque chez Ruquier lui disait qu'il allait faire 3% et que ça servait à rien, 10 ans plus tard, le PS s'est complètement effondré et il y a que Gérard Filoche qui est sincèrement de gauche qui reste là bas pour je ne sais quelle raison.

Les stals ont leur parti, c'est le PRCF. Ils sont dans leur coin, ils écrivent beaucoup d'articles à propos de l'OTAN et l'impérialisme, tout ça, on les voit en manif mais ils sont pas beaucoup. Bon écoute, si c'est ton délire, rejoint-les, pour moi ça reste des camarades.

Je lis ça vite fait pour voir ce qu'ils pensent de LFI: https://initiative-communiste.fr/articles/billet-rouge-2/peut-on-etre-a-demi-insoumis-par-floreal/
Il y a des critiques légitimes, notamment sur le fait que si Mélenchon arrive au pouvoir, il a intérêt à être ferme avec l'UE s'il veut vraiment donner suite à ses promesses et ne pas finir comme Syriza en 2015, c'est incontestable, mais il en a un peu parlé de ça pendant le débat avec le MEDEF.

For a brief moment from 2016-2022 this was supposedly the pinnacle of online left-wing politics. Bernie was about to win, Democratic socialism was the future, China would inevitably democratize and the old boring MLism was dead. A few DSA-backed candidates winning city council seats in already progressive districts was treated as if the Bolsheviks had just stormed the Winter Palace.

The most ridiculous part was that the supposed divide between the Dirtbag Left and the DSA left barely existed. They agreed on healthcare, labor, foreign policy, housing, policing and virtually every other major issue. The defining ideological conflict of the era was essentially whether you were allowed to make edgy 90's raunch comedy jokes on podcasts. Entire feuds and endless Twitter meltdowns emerged from a disagreement that amounted to "can you say slurs ironically?"

The confidence was incredible, leftist genuinely talked as if DSA-aligned leadership of every major American city was inevitable, as if Bernie was one good news cycle away from the White House and as if a handful of podcasts by stand up comedians had somehow cracked the code of political history.
In retrospect, it all seems absurd. There was never a realistic path to any of it. The movement's grandest ambitions had essentially zero chance of materializing.

Then reality intervened. Bernie lost, The post-COVID world arrivedm Housing crises worsened, Migration became politically explosive, Major wars returnedm China didn't democratize and instead looked increasingly capable of navigating long-term crises without becoming a Western liberal democracy and the assumptions underlying the entire scene collapsed one by one.

A lot of the old supporters ended up as tankies. A smaller but noticeable number drifted toward the far right. Sometimes they somehow became both at once. The aesthetic transformation is almost as funny as the political one, the old Dirtbag Left revolved around schlubby podcasters making jokes about being ironically gay, the people who inherited its audience are often obsessed with MMA, military history, geopolitical realism and posting shirtless workout photos. The few remaining loyalists seem to have finally realized that their politics were never meaningfully different from the DSA's in the first place and appear perfectly content settling into the role of ordinary progressive liberals.

What a strange, stupid little farce that was.

Whether people like to admit it or not, they influenced online alt-left humor, which really isn’t taken from the right so much as it is from stand-up and shock-jock traditions.
Shock-jock humor is edgy, offensive and smarmy but it’s also inherently neurotic, self-deprecating and cowardly. It’s not really the kind of humor you’d ever see from a confident or well-adjusted guy. it’s the kind of humor you’d associate with someone who could get his ass handed to him by literally anyone else.

I'm not sure what you mean by this but maybe I'm not too familiar with ye old shock jocks. I agree the dirtbag left has (or had) a kind of passive edginess, like the "safe" anti-Italian racism, or the "safe" horniess of wanting women to step on their balls or whatever, but the shock jock would just be racist and chauvinist, I thought.

Far-right AfD wins key German state election but falls just short of majority
That was far ahead of Merz’s CDU , which polled 17.2% – losing about half its support – and won 15 seats. The centre-left Social Democrats polled 9.3%, the Greens 8.9% and the Left party 8.6%, winning eight seats apiece. The BSW party, which has said it would not elect either Siegmund or incumbent Sven Schulze as governor but criticises the “firewall” against AfD, took 5.3% and five seats. Participation in the election was at a record high of 76.5%.

The poorest in the US can’t find housing even as low-income units sit empty
The poorest people in the U.S. face the most acute shortages of affordable homes. But the majority of low-income housing financed in recent years is for those earning 50% of an area’s median income or above, according to a survey of state housing agencies. Some cities are now seeing an uptick in vacancies as rents for these units approach market rates. The result: Apartments designated as affordable sit empty because the poorest of the poor cannot afford them. Meanwhile, some people are forced into homelessness and others into desperate circumstances to pay for housing they can’t afford.

Dutch strike wave: welfare not warfare!
The Dutch government is trying to impose a budget which cuts billions from the welfare state to spend billions on imperialist rearmament. This week, thousands of workers from across the Netherlands – dockers, rail and transport workers, metalworkers, brewers, civil servants and cleaners – are striking to stop them. This is the biggest strike wave in decades. Its potential is enormous. Just a few hundred dockers in Rotterdam have shut down the busiest port in Europe, responsible for 30 percent of the EU’s container trade, in direct response to cuts that are explicitly designed to fund militarist spending. This movement is just a glimpse of the potentially unstoppable power of even a fraction of the European working class. With a militant lead, this force could bring the ruling classes to their knees and deal a blow against the continent-wide rush to remilitarise, paid for by the working class.

But without organizing the subjective force that provides leadership to the labouring masses under oppression and domination, it is not possible to carry the revolution to victory.
