“We, the Piraeus' dockworkers declare that we will not accept whatsoever to unload the ship”, they said in a statement, adding: “We won't participate in the slaughter of innocent people for the profits of the few. We are raising our children with humanity and through our struggles we have taught them the lesson of solidarity, resistance and pride”.

California prosecutors used anti-gay slurs to refer to prospective jurors
In a note from a 2010 case, a prosecutor remarked that a potential juror who worked for Shell oil was a “dyke”. In notes from a 1995 case, a prosecutor wrote that a prospective juror was a cashier and a “possible fagot [sic]”. Neither were selected for the juries. The files are coming to light two months after US judge Vince Chhabria said evidence suggested Alameda prosecutors have systematically excluded Black and Jewish jurors over the years and ordered the DA’s office to review all implicated death penalty cases.

Thousands flee New Mexico wildfires that have damaged 500 structures; governor declares emergency
The magnitude of the fires is beyond local control and requires immediate state intervention to protect public health, safety and welfare, Lujan Grisham said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. She said more than 500 structures had been damaged and the entire village of Ruidoso, population 7,000, had been evacuated. It is unclear how many homes were engulfed by the fast-moving flames.

Tudeh Party of Iran, The death of Raisi, the Iranian president, chaos in a "homogeneous regime", and the need to organise for maximum pressure on the ruling dictatorship!(Extracts from the Editorial of Nameh Mardom, issue no. 1209, published Monday 3 June 2024)
With the death of Ebrahim Raisi, the criminal servant of the ruling dictatorship, the "homogeneous regime" project favoured by ["Supreme Leader"] Khamenei has suffered another blow. This project, centred around Raisi's administration, hadalready overseen major failures in both domestic and foreign policy over the past three years. On one front, the widespread boycotting of a succession of sham elections over the past three years, marked by the people's resounding "NO!",have dealt a significant blow to this project and the credibility of Khamenei and his appointed president. On the other, the widespread protests of the people under the slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" have placed the entire ruling dictatorship in an unstable and irreversible situation and now in perpetual fear of the people. As our Party has repeatedly emphasised, a deep, wide, and unbridgeable chasm has emerged between the people and the entirety of the ruling despotic regime. Despite the government's false propaganda and an array of elaborate shows at Raisi's funeral ceremonies, where he was glorified with false titles such as "Servant of Imam Reza" [Eighth Imam of the Shi'a Muslims] and "Servant of the Iranian Nation", the majority of society was indifferent to these grand ceremonies and theatrical mourning displays. Many people even welcomed and expressed joy over the death of one of the dictatorial regime's criminal servants.

>What does anarchist governance look like?
It's up to the people to decide how they want to manage things. Some would favor more organization or less and more centralization or less. What worked best would depend a lot on the context and what aspect of society is being administrated. Kind of the whole point is we aren't really able to figure out the optimal way to do these things when all of society is structured around rigid hierarchies to protect the power of a ruling class exploiting everyone else.

Seconding Graeber. I'd actually recommend starting with Debt or Dawn of Everything since they are both very "top-level" overviews of things and can help shake up some of your basic preconceptions about economics and politics which could help you repair and replace the parts of your understanding that need it.
Also recommend Deleuze and Gramsci even though technically that's Marxism.

The world in it's earliest state is anarchistic and at it's highest level op organization, the international geopolitical one, it still is, as there is no higher authority telling states what to do. You can see the results of a mass scale anarchistic system when you look at how governments currently interact with each other.

In my view it doesn't look good

>>1889335
> as there is no higher authority telling states what to do.

The UN, the European Union, NATO, etc. Thowse are not "higher authorities"?

Imperialism is not two countries having a border dispute.

The issue of Outer Manchuria is from two centuries ago, and both the Qing Dynasty and the Tsarist Russia no longer exist.
This region is not a core Han Chinese population area.
China's core territorial issue now is Taiwan.
If Chinese diplomacy abandons an important ally over events from over a hundred years ago during the feudal period, it is clearly a failure.
The present determines the historical issues. The territorial dispute on the China-India border is much smaller in area than Outer Manchuria, yet it causes disputes among billions. This is actually a specific projection of the power struggle between two neighboring rising Asian powers. If China and India have a more pressing common enemy to deal with, then the China-India border issue will become much less significant.

外东北是上上个世纪的领土问题了，清朝和沙俄都已经不复存在
这块地区不是核心的汉族聚集地
中国现在的核心领土问题是台湾
中国外交如果因为一百多年前的封建时期的事情就放弃一个重要盟友那很明显是失败的
现在是现在问题决定历史问题，中印边界领土争议面积比外东北要小得多，但是让数十亿人为之争吵，实际上这是相邻的两个亚洲崛起的大国力量角力的具体投射，如果中国和印度有更需要对付的共同的敌人，那么中印边界问题就会变轻很多

You can't really dehumanize them if what they preach is normality/tradition. We just need to keep trying to prove them wrong, or take things over with force. The latter may be the only way to not fully lose this war, the consensus for lgbt stuff and leftism in general is declining rapidly and we need those people's support

he did. bierut was a puppet, the country's been basically run by soviet jews. swiatlo, romkowski, bergman - just a couple to name. after stalin's death natives clawed out some political power back it led to a faction power struggle between natolins (ethnical poles) and pulawians (assorted minorities, mostly soviet jews) and later along the line to the party purge of 1968 when soviet jews were faced with the dilemma of either discovering democracy and joining the opposition or migrating.

>In May of 1933 Planck requested and received an interview with the recently appointed Chancellor of Germany Adolf Hitler to discuss the issue, telling him that the "forced immigration of Jews would kill German science and Jews could be good Germans," to which the chancellor replied "but we don't have anything against the Jews, only against communists." Planck was therefore unsuccessful, since this reply "took from him every basis for further negotiation," as to Hitler "the Jews are all Communists, and these are my enemies."

Billions? Without nukes, very unlikely. World War 2, the deadliest war in history, only killed about 3% of the global population (2 billion).

A conventional war between the US and USSR, without nuclear weapons, would probably have the same death toll depending on whether one side wanted to wipe the other out like Germany wanted to with the Soviet Union.

Not arguing for or against proxy wars, mind you, just making a point that you’re severely underestimating how dangerous a nuclear war would be.

>>1888142
nukes are good actually, he didnt think they'd use them on Japan because in reality it was a very unnecessary move by the US.

'UAW All the Way': Ohio EV Plant Workers Hail Historic Contract Victory
UAW Local 1112 members at Ultium Cells' Lordstown, Ohio facility approved their new local contract by 98% on Sunday. Under the contract, production workers will be paid $35 an hour by October 2027. Sunday's vote came after the workers at the plant—a joint venture between GM and South Korea-based LG Energy Solution—voted in December to unionize.

Disney's feud with DeSantis is over — and it's donating to Republicans again
Since ending its feud with Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, Disney has wasted no time donating to Republicans again. The Walt Disney Comany gave more than $87,000 worth of in-kind, or nonmonetary, donations to political committees, including Republican lawmakers, in the months of April and May, the Orlando Sentinel reported. That's an about-face for the House of Mouse, which had paused political donations as it brawled with DeSantis.

Judge orders railway to pay Washington tribe nearly $400 million for trespassing with oil trains
U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik initially ruled last year that the railway deliberately violated the terms of a 1991 easement with the Swinomish Tribe north of Seattle that allows trains to carry no more than 25 cars per day. The judge held a trial earlier this month to determine how much in profits BNSF made through trespassing from 2012 to 2021 and how much it should be required to disgorge.

(Editorial note: The 17’s refer to the leadership of the organization who were massacred by the Turkish state on June 16-17, 2005.) Friends, comrades; On June 16, the Munzur mountains woke up to an unfortunate day when they were under fascist siege! In the fierceness of the incalculable fight, the 17’s were falling! Our party leadership was writing the victory of strategic invincibility with the resistance of will in the trenches of war! A historical epic was being written, rising in the spirit of the Red Resistance against the brutal massacre; with the legacy left to the revolutionary generations. . . As we bow respectfully to the immortal memories of the 17’s, whose epic resistance was written in golden letters in revolutionary history, we declare once again that we will definitely and defiantly ask for an account of the barbaric massacre engraved in our memory!

Nepal’s Hindutva Moment
A little over a decade after Nepal declared itself a secular republic, religious identity threatens to emerge as a new axis of polarization in the politics of the former Hindu kingdom. A string of incidents that transpired over the past year have rudely awakened many in Nepal — including its complacent public sphere — of the inroads made by activist networks of militant Hindu nationalists, particularly in towns close to Nepal’s long border with India. In August of last year, clips of a group publicly feasting on beef in Dharan, a city in eastern Nepal, gathered much national outrage, as eating bovine meat is largely taboo in the country and oxen slaughter remains illegal. This rabble-rousing tactic of activists, who were opposed to this law, triggered swift street mobilization by several Hindu groups in protest, who linked this incident to an already existing controversy in the ciPost too long.

Lovecraft was clearly a smart and well-read person who was held back by his sheltered upbringing that stunted his development as a person, which tends to cause someone to have cringe reactionary biases since the right is all feels>reals. I think if he had lived a full life he would have almost certainly ended up becoming a full-fledged Marxist of some sort since his late letters indicate that he was reading Marx. It's really a damn shame that he's essentially remembered for having a chvd phase that he had started to get out of. People forget that he had a tragically short life.

Last century, the people of Asia, Africa, and Latin America generally differed greatly from those in Europe and North America; they were often illiterate, malnourished, and had many children, with families having five or six kids and knew nothing about modern science. Even Einstein had a negative opinion of the Chinese. I think that many modern people, if they were to travel back in time, might not have a better view of the people of Asia, Africa, and Latin America than those of the last century did. They might even think that white people and darker-skinned people are like two different species, similar to Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.
