/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

long time lurker first time poster. i consider myself to be a leftist and want to get more involved, i recently found out about a DSA chaptor in a mid sized city not to far from where i live, im looking into it but ive heard a lot of distaste for the DSA from leftists online, though i cant find much reson other then

One of my core political positions and personal values since I was a literal child is that any kind of violence and coercion is way worse when accepted and normalized or state sponsored. I can accept rape, murder, and torture as facts of life that are impossible to eradicate as long as the public is strongly opposed to it and the state cracks down on it. What disturbs and enrages me to the point of wanting to hurt people is when people become accepting of it and even worse when the state starts practicing it. A cruel criminal needs to be turned around and the community needs to be protected from him. A government oficiall that authorizes torture and degradation of a person ought to be shot on sight. The visceral reaction i get from normalized barbarity is so strong that its almost knee-jerk. I wonder if there is anyone else who thinks like this or if im a genuinely insane.

criticisms? thoughts?

So why is it that all "historically progressive" forces in History all turnout to be white European colonizers who raped and enslaved Black and Indigenous folx?
Is Marxism just a long winded apologia to justify colonialism and oppression?

IN HONOR OF LEADER ANTOUN SAADEH

The man who was martyred 77 years ago killed by an overall conspiracy was not an average person . He was the man who was inspired and had an insight , and who positioned himself from where he could secure the future of his people. He is among those who will not be satisfied by merely existing . His whole being and existence revolved around his people. His name is Antoun Saadeh called also the Leader , a title he earned with everything that goes with it . Not only he was fought and set up by the colonialist predators and their local clientele in the mid of the previous century, but after his martyrdom , all about him was obscured and camouflaged and even buried . He presented a real threat because people felt affinity with him and trusted him and were inspired by him . He was the man who lead the Renaissance proper to our area after WWI and WWII , when the region was meeting so many challenges that range from identity to independence . This was when the Ottoman Empire collapsed, and the colonialists were starting dividing the empire among themselves, and also creating the vicious state of israel , and planting it in the heart of the Arab world.

Leader Saadeh immediately felt the threat , and decided that the people of this area should claim what is theirs, and before they do this, they should know their identity and find out who they are and the common ground which they share or their natural belonging and natural habitat, and accordingly, claim what is theirs before they fall a prey to the conspiracies that seek to divide the area according to the colonial ambitions .. Religion can no more be a Reference thought leader Saadeh after the fall of the Ottoman Empire because the inhabitants of this area are multi cultural , multi religious and multi lingual , and there is need to define what a nation is in all its variety , and to defend this nation and its borders, and secure its sovereignty and unity and independence . It was an attempt at preventing that the identity of the people be lost for ever and an attempt at retrieving this identity .

The people should retrieve their identity – thought Saadeh- Greater Syria being the nation to which those belong , and it is located in what has been known as the Fertile Crescent , in the heart of the Arab World , being also an intrinsic part of this world . Saadeh knew from experience and from his life in Latin America in its attemPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Israeli lawmaker smashes Palestinian memorial in occupied West Bank
Zvi Sukkot, a member of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party, was filmed smashing the Palestinian Martyrs' Monument in the village of Madama, south of Nablus, with a sledgehammer. In a video posted to Facebook, Sukkot said the memorial commemorated two Palestinians who had killed Israelis and argued that it could not be allowed to remain. “We must take it down,” he said, adding that he wanted the memorial destroyed because children growing up in the village and passing it would be inspired to become “martyrs” themselves.

Step 1. Kill all non-marxist leninists
Step 2. Start killing other marxist-leninists
Step 3. Start killing the working class
Step 4. Sell out to liberalism and capitalism
Step 5.???
Step 6. Profit

Literally every marxist-leninist state has already either gone trough all these steps and reached the endgoal of communism that is the dissolution of the marxist-leninist state as marx (pbuh) predicted.
Or is currently on steps 1-4

• Why doesn’t the US invade Cuba militarily?
  
• Why doesn’t France invade Haiti after losing it?
  
  
  

I am trying to understand what restrains state violence when military power is overwhelmingly on its side

Hello German comrades. Have any of you read Hans Heinz Holz's Theorie als materielle Gewalt – Die Klassiker der III. Internationale. Is it more philosophical or historical? I don't know german but if it's any good I am willing to use google translation to read the part about Mao for a study of mine. Could anyone provide it in pdf?
Thanks in advance

Argentine Professors Call 48-Hour Strike Over Funding Law
Public universities are not receiving the funding established by the law, despite Supreme Court rulings ordering its implementation. This delay affects both the day-to-day operation of the institutions and the payment of faculty salaries and student scholarships. Argentine unions denounce that salary adjustments in recent months resulted from unilateral decisions, without formal collective bargaining, and were far below inflation. On Sunday, they also warn that they will intensify protests if the Milei administration does not offer concrete responses.

Venezuelan Parliament Approves Law to ‘Protect’ Real Estate Developers
The law also establishes fines for delays in submitting documents, permit failures, non-compliance with regulations, and violations of preventive measures, among other offenses. At the same time, the legislative project establishes incentives for private sector constructors such as greater flexibility to set prices, an end to a prior existing 24-month deadline for completing certain projects, and modified conditions benefiting sellers should buyers fail to make payments. The bill also eliminated the lending banks’ liability in case the real estate project is not completed. For buyers, the change removes one of the parties they could potentially hold accountable in case the purchased home is not delivered.
