Holy shit the ADL defending a fucking nazi salute by an apartheid kid. Truly we're through the looking glass.

If you're in the USA it might actually be a good idea to apply for some ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) jobs since I have a feeling trump will be massively expanding the number of officers, + if you do get accepted there is a chance you will have massive power and potentially able to travel all across the USA. If you don't join, someone else WILL. Idk about the hiring requirements but you might need to be +21.

Also I think trump did a hiring run for FBI agents durin his first presidency.

Democrats Set Up Trump to 'Save' TikTok After His Effort to Ban It
"Congratulations, Democrats," said Nina Turner, a former Democratic congressional candidate from Ohio, as the platform began informing U.S. users that it was no longer available late Saturday. "This could've been avoided had you listened to progressives last year when this bill was being forced through Congress."

PFLP: The Resilience of Gaza in Defense of Palestine Have Been the Cornerstone in Halting the War of Extermination
The announcement of the ceasefire comes after more than 15 months of a brutal war of extermination waged by the occupation against the Gaza Strip. This ceasefire reflects the steadfastness of Gaza, its people, and their deep-rooted connection to the land, despite relentless bombing, siege, destruction, starvation, and unimaginable hardships. This unyielding will, indomitable spirit, and deep faith in the sanctity of the homeland have served as a shield to protect Palestine, its people, and its cause from extermination and annihilation. Gaza’s legendary resilience, despite the siege, bombing, destruction, bloodshed, and the loss of tens of thousands of martyrs, coupled with the bravery and courage of the resistance, has made Gaza a global symbol of the will of the people and their struggle. This small besieged strip, vast in heroism and sacrifices, has stood firm in defense of Palestine and the Arab nation, halting the expansion of Zionist aggression and its broader war across the region.

The turn of 2024 and 2025 for Ukraine: desertion has become nationwide mainstream
Special thanks to our French comrades from the Solidarity Initiative Olga Taratuta in preparing this material If you want to see more content like this, you are welcome to support its making financially. Last month, the platform mistakenly blocked our fundraising for two weeks, which resulted in a loss of monthly donors. We invite everyone to subscribe again – this allows the Assembly to continue working for you!
The rapid collapse of the army of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, which fell apart between November 27 and December 8, has attracted a lot of attention in Ukraine. For many in the country, it became the main event of the end of 2024. A paradoxical situation has arisen: Ukrainian official propaganda is praising the successes of the pro-NATO and pro-Turkish forces against Assad as a brilliant victory over Russia, while at the same time the NATO-backed Ukrainian dictator himself is increasingly risking a repetition of Assad’s fate. In the last days of November, the worldwide English-language media confirmed what the Assembly had been reporting throughout the fall. ABC NePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Could a US-Panama war turn into a US-Mexican war?

Thanks News Anon

Stay in your containment thread, burger.

Every time conspiracies or parapolitics are posted, you hear schizo schizo schizo but no arguments. It's like a knee-jerk reaction

I am predicting a "terrorist" attack on inauguration. Is this a bold prediction?

>>2116291
the lack of any attack today confirms terrorism is a deep state psyop. the presence of Musk, Bezos and some other oligarchs prevented "terrorist" from taking action

Communists have their communist consciousness because they either participate in the class struggle themselves mainly, or because they have made a scientific study of that class struggle.

>>2118812
Despite what MLs might tell you Marx's method wasn't really a coherent 'method' or set of steps, but rather the simple observation that one must study each object in detail, and allow it to 'speak for itself', as it were. It is, if you want, a critique of 'method'. Never put the abstract before the concrete.

>>2118902
Congrats, you have defined empiricism

>>2118905
Shockingly the people performing scientific analysis and critique of ideology and placed more importance in reality than ideas aren't rationalists. They also critiqued vulgar materialism, you know. Maybe read it sometime.

>>2118997
Yes, I know what Fichte said about empiricism being a subjective experience along with what naive realism is. That’s why reliability and validity controls are being adapted in more scientific communities.

I knew a guy who went over there around the same time as him and he said the Kurds wouldn’t let them on the front lines. The Kurds would do the fighting and then the volunteers would help secure the objective after everything was over.
Also I’m not diminishing the fact he went over there because it definitely took some serious courage. Also he’s never made it sound like he was in the shit while there.

>>2111240
>and they also had casualties
I know, i have had a friend and comrade who died in Syria, several more who nearly did.
This is why i find it so absurd the historical revisionism of some ITT.

it's just factually untrue.

except Islam is the religion of the incel and the people being recruited were being recruited through the religious ideology that the fascists historically respected the most.

On the other Maoists, there was a maneuver in the 70s called the "industrial turn," which was basically American Maoists saying, we're a bunch of upper middle-class students who don't know what we're doing, so let's get factory jobs and actually become proletarian and merge with them and organize them.
There are really only two surviving groups of 70s American Maoism. One is a cult led by a guy named Bob Avakian, they're deranged:

There's also the FRSO. They're much more focused. Relatively small but, like, when there were strikes recently by the UAW and Teamsters, their channels would feature interviews with members of those unions who are (basically) FRSO members. Not, like, a lot. But they play a role in protest movements as well, they were involved in BLM, the Palestine protests going on now.
I saw a video on the news recently of the police breaking up a Palestine encampment in my city, and most of the people there were MENA youth, but then I saw the local FRSO people (I know who they are) there with bullhorns shouting instructions to people while they were being arrested about what to do. They might have set up some kind of organization to bail them out. They're not usually going at people with communist symbols or red flags and all that, more like a cell that exists within these other movements.

>Coming from a lower-class background, Stalin was also willing to get his hands dirty in ways many Bolsheviks weren't but also had the intellect and cunning to become an actual leader instead of just a goon.

Utopian Socialist revolutions (basically every revolution besides the US) failed because they're Utopian and not pragmatic. They're based philosophically in Rationalism which is the "retard fuel" for leftism. It's the belief of certainty of uncertain facts, basically a faith-based science where "proof" of your "theory" is not required. These are the whack-jobs of enlightenment who are philosophically the equivalent of a quack mad-scientist cutting up people's brains and hooking them up to machines for "purity" or some other make believe nonsense

How does a 'post-left' anarchist define 'left'? And what, in their view, distinguishes themselves from it?

>>2111892
For me, it's the Zapatistas.

any anarchist who claims to have authority to define "anarchism" is a loser authoritarin, im an anarshitss precistely becuase it means whatever i wahnt it to mean

I went to a squat for the first time in my life and honestly, I get it now.
