Arizona joins Nevada to fight proposed cuts to their shares of Colorado River
The move comes after the interior department announced restrictions this summer that could slash the water supplied to lower basin states – Arizona, California and Nevada – over the next two years depending on the river’s condition. The river’s major reservoirs, Lake Mead and Lake Powell, have plummeted to historically low levels, due to overuse and a changing climate.

US appeals court blocks class actions over Tesla's self-driving claims
In ‌its ruling, a three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals said there were too many individualized questions about what buyers actually saw before making a purchase, and so they ​could not sustain their lawsuit as a class action. The appeals court decision is ​a win for now for Tesla, which had urged the appeals ⁠court to vacate orders by a California judge last year certifying three sets of ​classes. The ruling means the thousands of California buyers the lower court had grouped together ​cannot, for now, pursue their claims jointly in a single case.

CP of Greece, One hundred ports - one message
On 30 October, one hundred ports across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas are expected to come to a standstill during a coordinated strike, sending the hopeful message that “workers have the power”! This is a major internationalist initiative that takes the torch from the previous International Day of Action on 6 February, when dockworkers protested: “We do not work for war! Ports for the people and for peace - not bases for imperialists.” In Greece, alongside the dockworkers at Piers II and III in Piraeus, seamen and workers in the ship repair Zone, at other shipyards, and at metal factories have decided to join the strike. Initiatives will unfold on the same day in even more sectors and workplaces in both the private and public sectors. This struggle wil be uniting:

• those who operate the gantry cranes. Who load millions of metric tons of goods, and now business groups are demanding that they “load” raw materials, weapons, and ammunition for the war;
  
• the seamen, who set ships in motion all over the world, and today shipowners are sending them to war zones for their own profit, forcing them to sign documents stating that they are putting their lives at risk at their own responsibility;
  
• workers who build ships and set the machinery of the metal industry in action. With the shift to a war economy, they are witnessing employers seizing yet another opportunity to demand that workers work without complaint, intensifying exploitation for war purposes. …

Brazil – AND Editorial: Fight the Far Right and Yankee Interference with Action!
Regardless of the outcome of the October 25 election, the country finds itself in a critical situation where its national sovereignty (what remains of it), and the meager democratic rights and fundamental freedoms, hard-won through numerous struggles of the Brazilian people over decades, are threatened. There are two fundamental reasons for this. First: because the country is facing increasing intervention by Yankee imperialism, as outlined in its New National Security Strategy of November 2025, including in this round of gPost too long.

Freedom of Expression is Bourgeois Liberal Idealism condemned by Mao in “Combat Liberalism” and the “Subject” refers to the Object-Subject ontology (the juxtaposition of weak/passive Feminine “Objects” and strong/active Masculine “Subjects”), which in the Bourgeois Femininity Patriarchal Superstructure associated with the Capitalist Mode of Production means that Women are psychologically brainwashed into being Weak/Dependent/Submissive Oppressed “Objects” while Men are encouraged to behave as Strong/Independent/Dominant “Subjects”, with a proper dismantling of the Bourgeois Femininity Patriarchal Superstructure and the entire Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary in a Worldwide Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR means that Women will finally be encouraged to be Strong, Independent/Autonomous, Liberated “Subjects” that are equal to Men, and the fact that Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, and Makeup/Lipstick are Reactionary Superstructural symbols of Bourgeois Femininity and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary that have oppressed Women for Millennia (The Bourgeois Femininity Patriarchal Superstructure associated with the Capitalist Mode of Production was
preceded by the Aristocratic Femininity Patriarchal Superstructure associated with the previous Feudal and Ancient Modes of Production), is why all of these Patriarchal Superstructural Symbols (Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, and Makeup/Lipstick) will be banned for Women in the future Global USSR, in order to free them from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity and the Patriarchal Gender Binary and make them Liberated Socialist Women, just like Western Business Suits and Religious Clothing will be banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits after the Worldwide Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR eradicates the entire Reactionary (Capitalist and Feudal) Superstructure Worldwide, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

okay, I recall the subject-object orientation concept after going through my old readings so I can understand that, but that still doesn’t really strike at the limitation of your supposedly “anti-patriarchal” world.

it seems that a good amount of the legitimacy of your world is derived from the original scriptures of our great revolutionaries but I don’t see any women to be among them. there are a plethora of female writers who would have contributed deeply to the immortal science (who also subscribed to it as well), and you’re simply narrowing your view down if you think that “forcing” other people to comply is true liberation. how can you FORCE somebody to adopt these ideals, when other ideals (like liberal feminity) were already forced upon them? you also use them as objects in your ideal world, forcing them to comply to new beauty and dress, calling it liberation when in truth you refuse to actually integrate them into the movement with new, marx derived concepts. if its a cycle of forceful change rather than the deep, ideological integration of women into the broader movement, then your ideal world is not really new. power must return to the oppressed peoples.

Mao’s wife Jiang Qing (AKA Madam Mao), was one of the key leaders of the Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (She was essentially the de-facto leader of China in the last few years of Mao’s life when he was sick, until she was overthrown by Dengs Revisionist Capitalist Roader Social Fascist/Social Imperialist Coup after Mao died in 1976) and one of the leading advocates for eliminating the aesthetics of Bourgeois Femininity by forcing Women to cut their Hair short (Chin-length Bob cut or shorter) and wear Military-style Mao suits instead of Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick, with Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick, and High-heels all part of the Four Olds (old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits) associated with the Reactionary Superstructure of the Feudal and Capitalist Modes of Production that the Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was designed to eliminate, also the idea behind the destruction of Bourgeois Femininity and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary is that once the Patriarchal Superstructural Symbols of Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick, etc. are banned and replaced by Short Hair (Chin/length Bob cut or shorter) and Military-style Mao suits and Women embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, they will become Liberated Socialist Women that are equal to Men, and it is also very important to note that their will be no Material Base for “Traditional” patriarchal social roles for Women in the future Global USSR, due to Artificial Wombs automating Child birth, all jobs having strict gender parity (equal amounts of Male and Female workers), and all 18-year old Women (and Men) being conscripted into the International Red Guards for two years where before they become enforcers of the Worldwide Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution they will go to Maoist Boot Camp and get their Hair shaved off in a Buzz cut, Wear Military Mao suits, live in Military Barracks, undergo Extreme Physical Exercise and Weapons Training, and take Classes in the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, thus ensuring that no psychological vestiges of Bourgeois Femininity and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary are allowed to exist so they all become Liberated Socialist Women, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

Bump, the fact that none of my fellow Comrades have come up with serious arguments against my Dialectical Materialist Maoist stance on the need to eliminate Bourgeois Femininity in the Worldwide Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR (ie. Forcing all Women to cut their Hair short and wear Mandatory Mao suits, etc.) in order to flatten the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary and create Liberated Socialist Women, proves that my stance is the true articulation of Chairman Mao’s line in the IRL Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution as part of the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

Minawi urges restraint as fallout from deadly Sudan-Egypt border strikes widens
Darfur governor Minni Minnawi has urged Sudanese and Egyptian authorities to establish the facts surrounding deadly strikes on artisanal gold miners near the Egyptian border, warning against collective blame as tensions rise between the two countries. Dozens of Sudanese miners were reportedly killed in airstrikes in North Wadi on Saturday. Minawi said most of the reported victims came from Darfur and called for an end to the demonisation of the joint forces, stressing that individual incidents must not fuel accusations against entire communities.

March and March-affiliated parolee detained after securing bail
After being granted R1000 bail, Nsibande was intercepted immediately before he could leave the court. Nsibande was previously convicted for kidnapping and robbery in 2009. He was released on parole in April 2022 and was to remain under state supervision until 2034. The department’s spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo, explaining the processes of a parolee being re-arrested, says the parole board will have to decide on Nsibande’s fate.

Crowds throng New Delhi and wave Indian flags amid escalating protests
Protests by the youth and opposition parties have intensified over an ongoing review of voter lists that has removed more than 130 million names since last year. Critics say the exercise is politically motivated, threatens to disenfranchise millions more, and has disproportionately affected minorities, particularly Muslims. They have demanded the resignation of election chief Gyanesh Kumar. The Election Commission and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration deny the allegations and say the revision is intended to remove duplicate and ineligible entries.Post too long.

Case against Leon Black dismissed after plaintiff said she was ‘medically incapable of continuing’
A federal judge has agreed to dismiss a lawsuit brought against Leon Black after the plaintiff in the case, who had accused the private equity billionaire of rape, said she was “medically incapable of continuing” and at risk of “acute psychiatric crisis”, including suicide. The woman known only as “Jane Doe”, who claimed in a lawsuit that was first filed in July 2023 that she had been “handed off” to Black by his associate Jeffrey Epstein and then sexually assaulted by him, had been acting without a lawyer in the case. Doe has alleged that the assault occurred in 2002, when she was a teenager.

Erik Houdini: Why Do Some Americans Live in Motels?
Why do some Americans live in hotels, motels, inns, lodges, and whatever other word we want to use? We know what we're talking about. We're talking about housing that is supposed to be temporary, typically for a night, a weekend, maybe a week. But more and more Americans find themselves living in hotels. Let's put those numbers in perspective. Statistics show that in America about 700,000 people experience homelessness, and most of those people are living in hotels. But the actual hard number of people who are experiencing this is surprisingly difficult to track down, and I wouldn't hesitate to say that the statistics surrounding things like unemployment and homelessness and poverty in this country are cooked. Just the way that things are reported, and the way things are self-reported, the way these statistics are gathered, it would be very difficult to put a real number on the amount of people who are experiencing hotel poverty, hotel homelessness. Would they even be considered homeless? Some statistics point towards yes, some point towards no. And that's intentional. It would be a shame if the emperor was revealed to be wearing no clothes. So let's put the numbers in perspective based on real-world experience

The rise of the far right in Europe: Capitalism's useful ally and the tasks of communists: Nikos Mottas Editor-in-Chief of In Defense of Communism
The growing influence of nationalist and far-right forces across Europe is neither accidental nor a development occurring outside the capitalist system. It is closely connected with the needs of capitalist power itself, at a time when imperialist rivalries are intensifying, preparations for war are accelerating and the established bourgeois parties are finding it increasingly difficult to secure popular consent for their policies. The rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), France's National Rally and Britain's Reform UK, alongside the experience of Giorgia Meloni's government in Italy, points to significant changes in Europe's political landscape. Far from representing a genuine challenge to capitalist domination, these forces offer additional political options to sPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Not interpreting religious texts metaphorically or allegorically.
Religion can be used as an alternative to the atomized, purposeless, neoliberal hellscape that we find ourselves in. When Marx said that religion is the opium of the people he didn't mean it in a bad way per se, only that it reduces pain, but at the time opium was the only pain relieving option. The challenge is to have a revolutionary religion that is not only anti-capitalism but provides an actual non-shit system. I think Reddit atheism was quick to reject religion but failed to consider the downsides of secularism, I think a mass line progressive religion could work.

I do think religion has the potential for the destruction of capitalism through the destruction of consumerism as a concept, but it's a difficult thing as religion has so much baggage.

So leftists should be JRPG protags? I saw a vid once that said all JPRGs end with killing God because it's about overturning corpos, or something. I dunno if it was that convincing.

Anyway Marx's favorite mythological figure was Prometheus.

>why are you people so insistent on defending the shining path all the time from all critisism or anything that dosen’t border on cult like worship
I have criticized Gonzalo and the PCP multiple times on this site. I'm not at all against criticism and like all Maoists I believe that between internal and external factors, it's the internal that decides victory or defeat. This means that the failure of the PCP was due to internal contradictions, not state repression or foreign intervention like y'all liberals. Our failures are our own, but to discuss the failures you need to actually understand the failures and, y'know, be a Marxist in the first place. Most of y'all aren't Marxists and don't understand how to conduct Marxist analysis, and it shows. Y'all read sources like a high schooler or undergrad memorizing what a textbook says, rather than engaging critically. Do you think I haven't read the "truth and reconciliation" testimonies and reports? Please.

Ho Chi Minh didn't exactly write theory but he did say something along the lines that the people are actually intelligent enough to understand everything is fucked and be rebellious, but the problem is their ignorance.

If you have a huge mass of people that know something is wrong and have a rebellious attitude but are at the same time very ignorant then that means you need to appeal to their knowledge that everything is wrong and their rebellious spirit while also telling them their problems are a scapegoat's fault and that they can easily by solved by stupid means that will never work.
