/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

>>2633725
Welcome.
Leftism is not for revolution it is for reformism. Leftism means the left wing of capital, it comes from the french bourgeois parliament. Any kind of revolution (left or right) is a bourgeois revolution.

Communism is the real movement against the present state of things.

>draw people away from the revolution.
>people
People are BAD, workers are GOOD, workers are the revolutionary subject, people or "masses" are garbage. "People" is what we say when class is abolished or call those who have class consciousness and want to end class society, whereas the "masses" of "people" are lumpen reactionary and purposefully vaguely play into populism, mob mentality, and class collaboration. By addressing "people" that implies appealing to the reactionaries, bourgeois, petite bourgeois and the workers as if they are all the same when they are not. The real movement trademarked does not cater to "people" it caters entirely towards the revolutionary subject of the working class (proletariat) as long as it is the revolutionary subject.

You do not want to address filthy "people" unless you are calling for a broad statement such as opposing reactionism. In which case you must consider reactionaries to not be people at all and dehumanize them, which is entirely principled. But you must consider how wicked the word "people" can be before even beginning to address it.

Good points about everything, though I think youre placing a little too much emphasis on skills mate. The community doesnt need competence as much as it needs cooperation and actual planning.

>The community doesnt need competence as much as it needs cooperation and actual planning.
These are skills too. Indeed, competence is a very powerful social tool. If a group appears like it's floundering around, wasting resources and generally being a group where the blind leads the blind, the wider "community" will likely not want to have much to do with it despite good intentions. People want to follow the competent when the going gets rough. Still, you are right to point out that competence is not nessecarily in short supply within a population however we should keep in mind how small the intersection between the technically/organizationally skilled and the politically reliable is.

Of course, it will grow over time, but starting from scratch in the state we find ourselves in nessecitates that we flounder around as little as we can. If we are inheritors of the world revolution and seek to decouple ourselves from the clutches of the state, we must be competent.

I think the deeper reason that this happens is that almost no one has a real step by step plan to get to proletarian dictatorship (if they even believe in that). They have a voluntarist conception of struggle, where they just need to convince enough people to support their ideas and then that will spontaneously transform into the capacity to successfully revolt and then rule. Since the goal is convincing people, marketing is the strategy. So visibility is what's prioritized.


What the real plan is: build dual power that challenges the capitalists' governance over the people. Offer them material aid that the government doesn't, offer them protection from the government goons as well as criminals and intervening in and adjudicating civil disputes. Eventually when there is enough community support to do so with impunity, businesses can be taxed, territory can be contested from the state, and at the point that territory can be held from the state immediately there's the ability to do landlord expropriations, set up unions in every large workplace, start SEOs to compete with capitalist business, and so on. The leninists/trots have no clue what revolution entails, they think that it goes: build up party numbers and media subscriptions -> working class spontaneously revolts -> somehow lead the revolts with your popularity -> win. The real way that historical revolutions show us is the building of dual power. Part of that is media but it's only a part. We have to contest ruling class media, ruling class welfare/aid, ruling class arbitration, ruling class security, ruling class law, ruling class taxation, and so on until we are the state of the proletariat and we clash with the state of the bourgeoisie and our superior organization and territorial support carries us to victory.

US will control Venezuela oil sales 'indefinitely', official says
While White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the two sides had struck a deal, Venezuela's state-run oil company PDVSA said in a statement that negotiations over oil sales were ongoing within the framework that exists between the two countries. "This process is based on similar rules to those in force with international companies," it said.

Trump proposes massive increase in 2027 defense spending to $1.5T, citing ‘dangerous times’
The 2026 military budget is set at $901 billion. Trump in recent days has also called for taking over the Danish territory of Greenland for national security reasons and has suggested he’s open to carrying out military operations in Colombia. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ominously warned that longtime adversary Cuba “is in trouble.”

What we know so far about the fatal ICE shooting of a Minneapolis woman
The footage shows multiple officers near an SUV stopped in the middle of the road. One officer demands the driver exit the vehicle and grabs the car handle. The SUV reverses, then begins to drive forward, which is when a different officer near the front of the car pulls his weapon and fires into the vehicle. Three gunshots are heard, as the firing officer backs away from the SUV. Moments later, the vehicle crashes.

Venezuela – Class struggle against imperialism and the myth of national independence
The attacks of the US army in Venezuela are an expression of imperialism, but how can we respond to them? Understandably, the reaction of many people is to rally for ‘national independence’. From a working class perspective and the perspective of international emancipation, the battle cry for ‘sovereignty’ is a dangerous myth. The situation in Venezuela is part of a global panorama of block confrontation and as international workers we have to find ways not to get crushed in the middle.

Iran: An Uprising Besieged from Within and Without
Starting on December 28, 2025, a new wave of protest broke out across Iran, triggered by economic distress and escalating to call for the toppling of the government. This is at least the fifth such movement in a decade, drawing on previous waves of labor unrest and feminist resistance. Yet within this uprising, the grassroots movement contends with reactionary monarchists, largely based outside Iran, who seek to win the backing of the United States and Israel to seize power. This comes in the midst of a tumultuous geopolitical situation. The Israeli government has intensified the bombing of Gaza and Lebanon and the seizure of land in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria; it is preparing to construct a settlement that will cut the West Bank in half in order to make a Palestinian state impossible. The United States has just kidnapped the president of Venezuela and his wife in order to seize Venezuelan oil, signaling a readiness to go to great lengths to dominate people both inside and outside its borders. In the fall of 2024, protesters in Nepal and elsewhere demonstrated that it is still possible for social movements to overthrow governments. A successful revolution in Iran could set off a wave of change around the world. But if such a revolution were hijacked by reactionary forces, it could set movements for liberation back another generation or more. The stakes are high. We owe it to grassroots movements in Iran to learn about them and support them, both because they are confrontPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

There's nothing in the posts on the forum indicating a conspiracy except a few seeking trafficked children for corporate events. It's just a typical pedo forum with typical pedophiles. They're just discussing news and how it relates to their pedophilia and desire to normalize it.

Is that sort of stuff on typical pedo forums? I have no idea how big this group actually is, but it seems like theres some level of organization going on with them. It's invite only. There were threads talking about what churches were "safe".

The "Little Saint James" subforum was the name of island that Epstein owned:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Saint_James

The name of the subforum could be a pedo in-joke, since there were other darknet forums named epstein island. However the last post in the subforum was about the blackmail photos Jeffrey Epstein took of celebrities. There also was a user in a different subforum selling epstein memorabilia.

since a lot of aristocrats in the 1800s were already (relatively) impoverished compared to the haute bourgeoisie it is arguable that the petty bourgeoisie was already the middle class back then and if I recall they are sometimes called such even back then.

yeah, another significant factor i didn't mention in that post (since i wanted to be brief and explain the basic reason these coups happen) is also because the militaries themselves are significantly older and also more respected by the local populace, the reason why military coups are very rare in the americas since the cold war isn't because the US made them happen, that's a misconception i think people should correct, rather it's because for the most part, the militaries in these nations became far more subservient to the civilian governments as they reached a certain level of economic and societal development that made military rule unpopular, in a country in which pretty much every institution (the bureaucracy, other types of public servants, city governments, etc) is civilian controlled and supportive of a civilian government, it's a massive depressor for any military government, since a military government needs the consent of at least a plurality of each of those to efficiently run the state, whereas in the west african states but also other states prone to military coups, public servants don't really have a favored outcome, civilian or military, as long as it's a stable government, and so don't really care enough to actually oppose a coup since the civilian government is just not well established nor supported by a majority of its respective population

>>2632007
> So what exactly causes military coups in thirdie countries?
Well there are many different types of military coups, some of which are aligned with NATO hegemony (Suharto, Blaise Compaore, Augusto Pinochet), some of which are not (Gaddafi, Sankara, Chavez). The former are brought about by meddling of more powerful countries, bribery, blackmail, etc. The prospect of becoming a comprador bourgeoisie is particularly enticing. The latter are a reassertion of national sovereignty by the national bourgeoisie or perhaps the peasantry and the proletariat in more revolutionary circumstances.

>What causes the army to betray the government and country?

You must be asking about the former case. To accuse the army of betrayal implies that their primary duty is to be loyal to the "whole" people. This is wrong headed. The army's duty is to be loyal to the ruling class, just like the police. Only in revolutionary situations do the army betray the ruling class, and side with the workers. Betraying the working class masses is the rule, not the exception, for the army.

> I mean even in firstie countries there's technically nothing stopping the military from taking over and overthrowing the government and they could do it if they wanted to, but they don't. Why?
There's plenty stopping them. Militaries are very large, and labor is very divided between specialists, not to mention the division between branches. And there is a mixture of different class/ethnic/racial/religious backgrounds, with different material interests. And the hierarchy subdivides the military even further, breaking up opportunities for the different divisions and branches to communicate and coordinate without the (mostly bourgeois) upper ranks knowing. You need bourgeois class traitors for a true revolutionary situation to kick off in the military. Which is why I said earlier that most military coups in the third world take the form of a conflict between the national bourgeoisie and the comrpador bourgeoisie. This division within the bourgeoisie has long been noted. Some place less weight upon it than others. As long as imperialism yields a huge difference between standard of living and wages between the "core" and "periphery" countriesPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Money, funding, and narcissism

When the force of law has lost its head, the law of force is what you get. Violence begets violence, strong men eat weak men. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Put yourself in the shoes of a middle officer in one of these countries that’s intensely poor and has civilian leadership that’s sold out to western corporations and drinking champagne with western leaders as al-Qaeda is literally at the door. You don’t need to be a marxist to understand this.
