I will move to north korea and create a documentary covering everything im able to but i will focus mostly on the negative parts of the country. Then i will proceed to promote and upload it on Youtube and and earn shit tons of views along with praises from people who would most probably call me a "brave person showing truth to the world". Hell I would even try to run for film festivals with it. It will be absolutely amazing

Of course controlled, not a smear campaign like OP wants to do.
The only instance I remember when it got out of hand was this one documentary made by Russians, which still failed to portray the DPRK as even remotely terrible.

Make two channels, one positive, one negative, and wear a mustache and tophat for the negative one.

>Urgent Appeal: Stop the Judicial Coup in South Korea and Defend Democracy
<On May 1, 2025, South Korea’s Supreme Court issued a politically charged decision that overturned the acquittal of opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, the leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election, on charges of election law violation. Lee had endured intense repression under the administration of impeached former president Yoon Suk-yeol, having been subjected to investigation by over 200 government prosecutors, but despite countless allegations, these nearly non-stop investigations failed to result in a conviction. Now, with South Korea gearing up for a historic snap election on June 3, 2025 following Yoon’s ouster, authorities are once again attempting to convict Lee to remove him from the political playing field.

Comrades, I have something to tell you. My father was always very political, criticizing capitalism. When I became interested in politics, he gave me his Spanish Republican flag and his Che Guevara beret. Yes, he always had and will always have Che's spirit. I'm writing this post as a kind of gift to my father.
Thank you, Father.

See my parents were libs and I had to de-liberalize my thought process in my teens and twenties. I always knew their shit was incomplete. They obviously hated poverty, war, imperialism etc but their support of pacifism, voting, and just kind of limply tut-tutting reactionaries with "how dare you" always struck me as ineffective. These are working class libs I'm talking about. basically workers who lack class consciousness and go along with electoralism and reformism.

So I always wondered what it's like to be raised communist vs. being raised reformist and becoming communist. I find that people who are raised communist can be either very patient and kind to people unlearning liberalism or they can be very cruel impatient, harsh, even to the point of saying to people "you are bad, you will never learn" etc. and essentially taking for granted that they were raised communist and given the right path from the beginning.

When it comes to the study of ancient economic history, one is faced with serious difficulties as a beginner. The usual textbooks normally cover the "histoire événementielle", i.e., the succession of notable historical events and actors (the surface of history), while the works that do cover ancient socioeconomic history are hard to find or outdated, such as Finley's famous book.

Does anyone here have some knowledge in the matter? Can anyone recommend a study process or bibliography? Should one first read the basic textbooks of histoire événementielle and later on deepen the matter or skip directly to the socioeconomic outlook?

I am very lost in this matter and I don't know where to begin, and I'm sure a lot of people are in the same situation in here. And I believe it is very important to have, at least, a broad outlook on the progression of economic history until capitalism, to maybe deepen more specifically in modern history and economics, but with a general view of what came before and the evolution of the present mode of production.

Ancient Egypt had a command & palace economy. Considering how long their empire existed it might be one of the more interesting ones to look into.

Sort of related to your point, I've been reading a lot of Ranajit Guha recently, and in his book History at the Limit of World-History, he critiques Hegel for a limited view of history:

Guha critiques the concept of world-history in the lineage of Hegel as being almost exclusively Eurocentric. Yet this is not merely a cultural rebuke, for Guha sees that Hegelian history, a worldview that saw human development motivated by a transcendent world historical ‘spirit’, as one ‘held in thrall by a narrowly defined politics of statism’ (p.5). World-history then took on an elevated quality as something that only people who had both writing and a state were able to participate in (p.10). Thus by ignoring the vast majority of the globe, Hegel’s world-history becomes ‘a short story with epical pretensions’ (p.35).

here you go anon. these might not be exactly what youre looking for in the sense that theyre not focused surveys and have their own broader theses, but ive read all of these and theyre excellent. idk how these versions are because i have the physical copies, but if youre interested in this topic i highly recommend them.

>1.Isreal is utterly dependent on American aid and American support is dwindling.
False. There is a mild PR distancing from the last stages of the genocide. If anything the US has shown they are wiling to go the extra mile for Israel in reshaping MENA and enabling the settler colonialism. For the USA's own interests of course.

>2. Jewish people are not the majority in Israel/Palestine. No government may long stand without the consent of the majority of the governed.

This is just not correct. Colonialism is perfectly viable as long as you are willing to make the investment. For NATO it is very worth it to pay all the extra cost of sustaining Israel because the returns are at least, keeping MENA under their heel and securing the petro-dollar.

>3. The B.D.S. movement. Israel simply cannot afford to become an international pariah.

The BDS movement is a liberal, individualist boycott. It hasn't worked before, It didn't work during the genocide and it won't work after they are done with Gaza either. The USA and NATO command too much of worldwide capital for BDS to ever be anything more than a liberal, individualist consumer boycott. Little more than PR which can be fought with PR. Capital proper will never stop flowing to and from Israel.

>4. A large percentage of Israel's Jewish population will leave when Israel is no longer able to support a First-World standard of living.

You can count on it, IIRC about 700k already fled early on. But your assumptions that Israel is gonna find it's standard of living diminished or such is pure fantasy. If anything it's gonna be pampered by all of NATO to a full recovery and economic bonanza. As the new comprador agreements are signed and the cold war progresses Israel will continue to grow as a hub of intelligence and military tech sponsored by NATO.

Backing Israel and showing your support materially is the encouraged way to butter your way up to NATO. This will not change and the cold war will only make it more important. As well as a global arms trafficking HUB and all sorts of corruption and money laundering hub for NATO/comprador related businesses.

A network of worker cooperatives exchanging goods on the basis of their market price would fare infinitely better than the USSR style centrally managed economy, and that's a fact.
The only area of human activity where big, state managed organizations have historically had an upper hand is the military. This is highly unfortunate elephant in the room, although we also have important exceptions to this rule with highly successful guerilla movements.
As soon as the problem of military is solved (drones maybe?) this state parasitism will be over forever. You can call me a prophet.

Good to know Marx and Engels were utopians for wanting to get rid of the division of labor. How about the bit about labor being life's prime want? Even with future techniques, who would love doing sewer maintenance, butchering animals, or installing electric lines?

>>2384528
>utopian nonsense. there's nothing to suggest anything but the deepening of the division of labour
i agree, marx's idea of communism is dumb:
>In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly – only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!

this is where the early marx (german ideology) is superior to the late marx (critique of the gotha program).
>in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic

The myth that the CCF was antifascist must be destroyed. All these radical movements stem from De Maistre and Bakunin.

>The Congress for Cultural Freedom:

Making the Postwar World Safefor Fascist `Kulturkampf'

The president of the CCF's Executive Committee was Denis de Rougemont, a Swiss national who had introduced Paris to the works of Nazi philosopher Martin Heidegger, Soren Kierkegaard, and Karl Barth before World War II, through his magazine Hic et Nunc.

De Rougemont, known for his book Love in the Western World, wrote a Gnostic broadside attacking the morality of the United States under FDR, which can only be taken as an attempt to undermine the mobilization to defeat Fascism in World War II. Entitled "On the Devil and Politics," and written while he was stationed in the U.S. working for the Office of War Information (OWI), it was published in the June 2, 1941 issue of Christianity and Crisis.

De Rougemont's thesis is that all men have an inherently evil side to them which is at least an impulse. Every individual risks that his impulse might actually become real under certain circumstances, and an individual must know that evil resides in himself, or he is not a functioning human being.

>The Congress for Cultural Freedom: Making the Postwar World Safe for Fascist `Kulturkampf'

https://larouchepub.com/other/2004/site_packages/3125ccf_kulturkampf.html

The working relationship between the British elites and their American counterparts, in what ultimately became the CCF, traced back to a 1948 tour of America by Arthur Koestler.

Born in 1905 in Budapest, as a young man he was an aide to Vladimir Jabotinsky, the self-professed Zionist promoter of ᴉuᴉlossnW Fascism. When he was 27, he joined the Communist Party and went to Russia, where he wrote Of White Nights and Red Days, which was funded by the Comintern.

Koestler next operated in Germany, and was exiled to Paris when Hitler took power. There, he worked for leading Comintern agent Willi Munzenberg, and became an expert in running infiltration and neutralization operations against political organizations. In 1936, Munzenberg deployed him on a spy mission to Spain, where he was interned as a political prisoner. Though he was a well-known Sovet intelligence asset, it was the British who intervened to get Koestler freed. In 1938, he resigned from the Communist Party and went to Paris. During World War II, he was interned in France, and while in jail, wrote his "Damascus Road" repudiation of communism, Darkness at Noon. His book became one of the propaganda documents of choice for Dulles and company, circulated through the Congress for Cultural Freedom…

Reminder that migration is not driven by absolute wage disparities between nations; rather, it is a consequence of global capitalism's tendency to produce and maintain unequal productivity structures across countries. These structural differentials more than wage gaps themselves underlie capital's demand for mobile labor. Immigration functions as one among several strategic instruments, including outsourcing, technological innovation and labor market flexibilization, that capital employs to regulate labor supply in response to rising unit labor costs.

Global wage convergence doesn't occur because labor remains largely immobile, institutionally segmented and subject to political controls, whereas capital is highly mobile and operates according to the imperatives of competitive profit maximization. Therefore, framing immigration as a binary choice between accepting migrants or reducing domestic wages misrepresents the dynamics of the system.

Capitalism neither pursues nor facilitates global wage equalization rather it utilizes labor migration as a means to restore and maintain profitability under conditions of real competition, but so many radlibs are never gonna get it because they're stuck on that broken Unequal Exchange logic. They unironically reduce competition between bourgeois nation-states to "poor countries are getting robbed".
