Was doing street action just a few hours ago, protesting religious discrimination. A bunch of fascist retards came up and starts harassing us, like usual. But this particularly hotheaded moron whipped up one of those fucking sharp-edged circle gear tied to a rubber rope (i don't know how it's called in anglo circles) and started SWINGING it at the fascists.

Things go fucking downhill from there. The fascists brought fucking katanas and switchblades. Organizers tried to get us to withdraw since there are old people with us and we're a legit org,not some youth paramilitary or some situationist anarchist clique, so getting involved in a street brawl will be an absolute pr and logistical nightmare.

Fat chance, the fascists hounded us across multiple blocks, harassing us from their motorcades. You can just sense the blood in the air. Things would've gotten very bad if not for cops coming and breaking things up.
So there you have it. Had things gone differently i could very well be dead or in police custody right now. But that's still not the end, even with noone getting hurt this is absolutely going to be a pr nightmare for my org.
My point is that if you're going to do legal protests, please, please vet the people you're coming with carefully. Not just for feds or something like that, but for potential loose cannons too

Don't you guys brief your members in any basic way before going to a protest? Especially when there are a high chance of confrontation with fascists?

Escalation is part of political strategy that needs to be discussed and decided upon. Expectations need to be clear. People need to understand why and they need to follow group consensus.

Is there ever going to be a time when westerners will stop hating socialism so much that it can even be talked about seriously? It feels like everytime there's a discussion that starts about it, it gets spun into so much bullshit that you have to trudge through, and it's like that with every political group from the fascists to the anarchists.

>On the 14th of March, at a quarter to three in the afternoon, the greatest living thinker ceased to think. He had been left alone for scarcely two minutes, and when we came back we found him in his armchair, peacefully gone to sleep – but for ever. An immeasurable loss has been sustained both by the militant proletariat of Europe and America, and by historical science, in the death of this man. The gap that has been left by the departure of this mighty spirit will soon enough make itself felt. Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history: the simple fact, hitherto concealed by an overgrowth of ideology, that mankind must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing, before it can pursue politics, science, art, religion, etc.; that therefore the production of the immediate material means, and consequently the degree of economic development attained by a given people or during a given epoch, form the foundation upon which the state institutions, the legal conceptions, art, and even the ideas on religion, of the people concerned have been evolved, and in the light of which they must, therefore, be explained, instead of vice versa, as had hitherto been the case. But that is not all. Marx also discovered the special law of motion governing the present-day capitalist mode of production, and the bourgeois society that this mode of production has created. The discovery of surplus value suddenly threw light on the problem, in trying to solve which all previous investigations, of both bourgeois economists and socialist critics, had been groping in the dark…
>…Marx was the best hated and most calumniated man of his time. Governments, both absolutist and republican, deported him from their territories. Bourgeois, whether conservative or ultra-democratic, vied with one another in heaping slanders upon him. All this he brushed aside as though it were a cobweb, ignoring it, answering only when extreme necessity compelled him. And he died beloved, revered and mourned by millions of revolutionary fellow workers – from the mines of Siberia to California, in all parts of Europe and America – and I make bold to say that, though he may have had many opponents, he had hardly one personal enemy. His name will endure through the ages, and so also will his work.

From 2008-2012ish, there were a number of hacking groups such as anonymous, lulzsec/antisec, etc. that overlapped with arguably left wing/anarchist and other social movements of the time, such as the movement of the squares, the arab spring, and occupy wall street.

However this all faded out around 2012 and even more by 2016 they basically died out completely.

why did they fail? Is there anything to be learned from these experiences?

They kept seeking attention rather than results. Their noise started to interfere with the clandestine operations of serious people, thus most of the English speaking "scene" was dismantled with surgical precision by the serious people from within that "scene" and by GCHQ-NSA independently.
What remains of English speaking hackers with public presence is kids swatting each other on games like Minecraft and Rust, sim swapping Taylor Swift, Jack Dorsey etc to post their pseudonyms on Twitter for impress their internet girlfriends and other childlike behaviours despite some of them being in their late teens and twenties.

I don't think this is true at all. It is far more boring than that.
Anonops was 99% noise from the very beggining, the only thing is that there were a lot of oldheads and young people willing to learn too. After some of the big arrests of some of the main drivers behind the actual work others just drifted away. That is okay though, projects are not supposed to last forever.

I find it strange though how ITT people are bemoaning the loss of anonymous and any modern hacktivism when hacktivism is going on right now, you are just choosing not to look at it. Stop being spectacle addled children and search out for things instead of thinking what is reported in your narrow news-media bubble as the sole reality.

of? Guacamaya? You can search for it for all more details but I assume most people have at least heard of them a little or in passing, they are hacktivists from primarily es speaking counties and spaces but they are people some of whom have been around the hacktivist space for a while i think, they have done some impressive things, they are an openly and outwardly ideologically leftist which they have often pushed in their publics, (which incidentally was one of the big failings of 'anonymous golden age, 'lulzsec era'), what they have done for the most part is rarely that technologically impressive, although there is a lot of real talent there, the reason for their success imho is simply that they organized themselves together, dedicated their time and resources and did their actions. I would say over the last few years they have become the most dominant hacktivist milieu. Personally I like to call of them the PhinFisher babies all grown up.
They have hacked publicly; New Granada Energy Corporation, Tejucana, Oryx Resources, ENAMI EP, Solway Investment Group, in regards to ecology. In the realm of anti-militarism they have hacked Chilean Joint Chiefs of Staff (EMCO), the secretariat and ministry of National Defence in Mexico (SEDENA), and then they hacked the joint-command of the armed forces of Joint Command of the Armed Forces of Peru (CCFFAA).
There are a lot more, i just quickly got a bunch from wikipedia but their has been more claimed in the communiques and dumps, most of these are the heavily documented ones only because they came with massive leaks, often the 'biggest leak of X' and with serious repercussions and journalistic pieces. And also there are a lot more that are not public, the majority of hacking always goes unnoticed, it is only small children who deface, brick and `rm -rf` everything they touch, i would guess that with everything they have leaked and all only over the last, idk, 2 years? they will still have very deep access in a lot of places imho (another big problem of the anonymous/lulzsec iteration was that it tended to 'blow it's load' to early, it had not learned patience). uhh, but yea, check them out. Interesting work and like i say, a group can reproduce it if they will toward it, in the early stages of hacktivism being formulated as an idea, what it means, there was a big empahasis on plurality of grPost too long.

I know this has probably been discussed to death but I had a lightbulb go off when The Quartering or whatever his name is started "exposing" a bunch of major online right-wing figures as being "cock smokers". Why does it feel like a good portion of online right-wingers are confused queers? I, myself, was a /pol/tard once who happened to be heavily into futanari hentai. Is there some kind of complicated psychoanalysis shit going on or is it just "autism" like some 4channers say? And if it is just "autism", why are such people attracted to right-wing politics?

If I were to answer anecdotally my own experience, I was a dumb arguably overemotional teenager who fell for the nation state myth (I say dumb, yet there's people far older who still fall for it). I'd mention something about Althusser's insights on this matter here but I don't want to make this OP too long but the tl;dr is, when you are made to identify with something on an emotional level, like when watching a dramatic play, you are simultaneously being "disconnected" from reality and thus class analysis as your own real experience becomes replaced with the experience of fiction. Anyhow, I'm not sure if I'm representative exactly of these types.

Thoughts?

>In political and sociological theory, the elite (French: élite, from Latin: eligere, to select or to sort out) are a small group of powerful people who hold a disproportionate amount of wealth, privilege, political power, or skill in a group. Defined by the Cambridge Dictionary, the "elite" are "those people or organizations that are considered the best or most powerful compared to others of a similar type."
<American sociologist C. Wright Mills states that members of the elite accept their fellows' position of importance in society. "As a rule, 'they accept one another, understand one another, marry one another, tend to work, and to think, if not together at least alike'." It is a well-regulated existence where education plays a critical role.

For Mexico to become the new China they need to do more than just absorb imperial core jobs. The new India is more accurate. To become new China, they'd need a revolution and a CPM.

Here are a few characteristics of socialism in China bot shared by other BRICS countries or Mexico

1) Never privatised major industries such as energy or steel, which are all public owned. Compare this to the collapse of Yugoslavia, USSR, etc., which were all marked by an immediate devouring of major national industries by private entities: true transitions to capitalism.

2) Land remains collectivised, and leased to private persons or business entities for a maximum of 70 years. This, the absence of land inheritance, and the impossibility of generational land monopolisation, makes possible the extremely high home ownership rates in China (rural: roughly 90%; urban: roughly 80%) compared to other countries.

3) The bourgeois class, while necessary for development and allowed to exist, have no political power over the proletariate, and can not use their fortunes to influence policy, shape laws, or purchase the loyalty of politicians via lobbies and campaign contributions. The CPC is comprised almost entirely of working class representatives, extremely few capitalists. In the highest governing body, the National People’s Congress, there are 26 owners of private enterprises among 2600+ members (2018).

4) In Democratic Centralism, directly democratic decision making through elections proceeds from neighbourhood and local councils up to the National Congress, and from there and above are appointed by elected officials, according to merit. This combines the best of both democracy and meritocracy, while the dangers of both are checked by the other.

5) Never experienced the boom-bust cycles typical of capitalist economies in its 40 years of steady development at a rate of roughly 10% per year.

6) Bottom segments of Chinese society experienced 40% growth since 1979; bottom segments of USA during same period: 1%. If the USA is not a good comparison due to its drastic differences in history and position, a much better one is India, another post colonial nation developing during the same period, which actually transitioned to capitalism: exponentially more inequality, nearly no progress or even regress for the poorest segments of society.

The Port-Kembla Steelworks are closing, we're turning it into a submarine base that will be owned by the Americans which will house 'our' [Americas] Subs. They will outsource the Steelworks to their own country of course.
We will have been made a nuclear target for no damn reason, And stripped of what is realistically one of our most valuable economic assets, for no reason except for our governments utter cuckoldry and cowardice. - The 'Labour Lads' [fuck friendly jordies btw, just gonna throw that out] and the Liberals and all other parties in parliament are open and obvious traitors to the Australian people and deserve nothing but scorn. but the money-power and media along with the gold-bull of democracy has lulled 75%+ of people into a deep sleep.

It's time to come to terms with the fact that there is no silent-majority…'cavalry'…charging over the hill to save us at the last second. When its time for war with china and in the mediums of debate and in the streets at rallies - and people like us, CPA/ACP, SALTies, SEP and the occasional lost-rightoid fellow-traveller who just tends to hate yanks more then the Chicoms and wants them to Free-Julian! - find ourselves outnumbered something like…95/5, THAT'S IT!.

we live under an actively evil state, and the level of evil it is willing to sink to will shock you. But on top of that, It's not simply a evil state everyone chaffs under and hates. It is a state where its actions don't just have democratic majority support but a democratic supermajority of support.
