Gegenstandpunkt is Marxism gone too far

> Its aim is to revolutionarily overcome the existing state and social order and establish a socialist or communist society.
>Due to their elitist interpretation of Marxism, the group is largely isolated on the far left.
of course

I still prefer Solarpunk, but everyone has their own tastes.

I occasionally read their articles and have gotten some insight from that, especially on the nature of the state. However it is genuinely funny how their acolytes, when pressed on what is to be done, will always fall back on old reliable 'raising awareness'.
They come off like a parody of left communism a ML would come up with.

>when the terrorist organisation Hamas launched the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
IIRC, the worst attacks on Jews since the Holocaust was the Dirty War perpetrated by the Argentine military dictatorship backed by the US, Israel and France.

its also scientific insofar as
the analysis of capitalism, of history and of political economy is done scientifically (using the scientific method)
socialism aim is to rationally (and democratically) plan human labor and its production in society, so its a scientific approach to society and politics

Anti consumerism is also just a way to discipline labor

>>2530727
I think this is a false promise. Because new institutions and structures will continue to shape us as long as we remain social beings.
I recommend checking out Foucault's writings on power, where he explains the issue in more detail. (I've been trying to find a good collection as a pdf, but libgen is a mess atm)

>I was curious to know what you guys thought about liberalism.
Classical liberalism was certainly a historically progressive movement in its time, promoting equality and freedom for ordinary citizens. But it hit a wall under capitalism, and those promises could never fully materialize. The liberal project stopped short of challenging the system that produces inequality in the first place. Now it mostly functions as a neutered status quo ideology, a tool the ruling class uses to keep things running smoothly while the working class stays in its place voting or protesting non-violently.

>>2530920
so "true liberalism has never been tried"?

Snipe pigs, simple as.

Pakistani troops gunned down some Palestine protesters. Now the people who got killed were TLP which is a schizo far-right party but still.

>On Breaking Points yesterday, we covered the grisly massacre that unfolded this week in Pakistan, as state security services gunned down an unknown but considerable number of people marching to protest against looming normalization with Israel. The segment was controversial, with critics arguing that the group in question, the TLP, is not genuinely “pro-Palestine” but is a far-right, religious extremist organization that regularly incites and carries out violence. But we noted all that in the report.

>Pakistan does not actually have a history of this sort of mass state violence, and so the military-backed government needs to normalize it if it is to become part of their weaponry in building and defending what Field Marshall Asim Munir describes privately as his end goal, “a hard state.” Authoritarian governments often target groups with the least public support first, hoping to establish a principle for how other dissent will be dealt with. In this report we document how the Pakistani military appears to be using the same tactic with the justly unpopular TLP to set the tone for how other groups may expect to be treated if they do not toe the line on their emerging Israel-Gaza policy.

>The story below, reported by Waqas Ahmed, Murtaza Hussain, and myself, describes one of the most cynical and diabolical deployments of strategic violence I’ve ever covered.

Same. Sounds plausible. Asim Munir showed up at the White House over the summer. I scanned an Al Jazeera article that puts the relationship into context:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/19/trumps-pakistan-embrace-tactical-romance-or-a-new-inner-circle

But it makes sense. The Republicans in the U.S. and the Pakistani deep state / military people have a relationship that goes way back. If you look at the Pakistani military, it's a mix of Chinese and U.S. hardware, while the Indians have Russian equipment. But India also used to have a lot of British hardware, and they use French-made warplanes.

It seems to be because of attacks from TTP(Tehreek e-Taliban Pakistan) in the Pakistan-Afghan border regions. Pakistan believes the Taliban are backing them/allowing them to attack Pakistan using Afghan territory as a base which is very likely since both Taliban and TTP are hardcore Islamists. Pakistan striking Kabul on behalf of the US so they can reclaim Bagram easier seems unlikely IMO since large sections of their military are entirely Chinese-sourced, I think this is no different from Pakistan fighting with groups like the BLA(Balochistan Liberation Army), they have a lot of rural areas in which they lack complete control and have to contend with various militant separatists.

There are millions of Palestinian refugees who still hold the keys to the homes they were expelled from in 1948. How many Native Americans hold any remainders of the homes they were kicked out of? Americans are fully settled and are as "indigenous" to America as the Natives.

Most of those homes have since been destroyed and most of the original “Nakba survivors” will be dead by next decade.

The thing about terrorism is that it isn't worth the trouble. It never results in what people want it to do. Oftentimes, it does the opposite of the intent. You want to change people's minds about something, put away the bombs, and buy a newspaper. Or whatever the equivalent of a newspaper will be when they all go out of business.

Deputy US marshal and man shot during Ice operation in Los Angeles
During the operation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents surrounded and boxed in a man in his vehicle. Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS assistant secretary, said the man used his vehicle to ram the federal agents’ vehicles in an attempt to flee. Officers then fired “defensive shots”. The man was shot in the elbow. The deputy marshal was struck in the hand by a ricochet bullet, the DHS said. Both were taken to the hospital.

State websites blame Republicans for food stamp cuts as shutdown drags on
States have started to warn that millions of families could go without food aid next month, and some have adopted the Trump administration's more partisan tone. "Because Republicans in Washington, D.C., failed to pass a federal budget, causing the federal government shutdown, November 2025 SNAP benefits cannot be paid," the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services website said. "Federal officials with the Trump Administration have told all states that if the Republican federal government shutdown continues, it won't pay for SNAP (food stamp) benefits in November," the Illinois Application for Benefits Eligibility website said.

Trump nominates new Army vice chief with current general just two years into the role
The nomination and replacement come less than a week after Adm. Alvin Holsey, the Navy admiral who is overseeing military operations against alleged drug boats off Venezuela, announced a surprise, early retirement in December. About a month ago, Gen. Thomas Bussiere, head of the Air Force’s Global Strike Command, also suddenly announced his retirement, citing “personal and family reasons.”

Catherine Connolly: Ireland’s left candidate
Connolly has brought together the largest grouping of left-wing political parties, trade unionists, cultural and community organisations, anti-war and solidarity groups-in a presidential election since the foundation of the Irish state. But her election is not a forgone conclusion in spite of her polls being high. The October 17 edition of the Irish Times carried a headline in reference to the forthcoming Irish presidential election which read: “Connolly holds commanding 18-point lead entering the final week.” She was on 38 per cent to Heather Humphrey’s 12 per cent. However, while such a headline might be of comfort to Connolly’s supporters some of the more cynical among us would think there could have been an ulterior motive in writing such a headline. Could it have been a sort of clarion call to those who do not desire a left-wing candidate as president to come out and vote for her opponent? We all know of the story of the Trojan Horse and the old saying “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.” (No offence to Greeks.) So was there an ulterior motive?

My Time in Mexico’s Largest Immigration Detention Center: This is an excerpt from The Darién Gap: A Reporter’s Journey through the Deadly Crossroads of the Americas by Belén Fernández, now available from Rutgers University Press.
The first time I spoke with survivors of the Darién Gap, I was in jail in Mexico. It was July 2021, and I was serving a brief stint as the token gringa inmate in Siglo XXI, Mexico’s largest immigration detention center, located in the city of Tapachula, Chiapas, just west of the border with Guatemala. Over two thousand kilometers to the southeast of Tapachula lies the Darién Gap, known in Spanish as el Tapón del Darién or “the Darién Plug”: a 106 kilometer stretch of territory that straddles Panama and Colombia and constitutes the only roadless interruption in the Pan-American Highway linking Alaska to the tip of Argentina. The Darién Gap encompasses a spectacularly hostile jungle that has in recent years become a mass migrant graveyard, as hundreds of thousands of refuge seekers from across the world are forced to contend with its horrors while pursuing tPost too long.

Emma is the leftist who thinks big country of Bumfuckland invaded smaller country of Penistan 10,000 miles away from Unser Burgerreich, so our based military-industrial complex must arm Penistan with the Reich’s money.
