China is in phase "D" of capitalism as described by Engels in Anti-Duhring.

>>2588323
phase d? interesting. which chapter of anti-duhring did you hallucinate that from you pseud.

so is china's interpretation of abolishing the state making the state all encompassing in the sense that any chinese born is a member of CCP and therefore anyone is a communist, but no one is if everyone is a commie?

that was the interpretation of intellectuals in previous ML states

he is making the "joke"

Mutual aid with Nazis will only end with a bigger mess than you started off with

>>2564094
>>2563434
Can you finally accept that its your neighbors and friends that are voting for the Nazis instead of some shadowy foreign cabal that brainwashed your poor fellow Germans to be Nazis (again).

>>2588033
Both are true

>I know it must be hard for a lot of you people to understand, but China is more concerned about its own national interests to be sovereign
The the same future that all sovereign nations face will come to China. Too bad.

Sounds like the Trotskyites who were proclaiming the need to overthrow "Stalinism" right in the midst of WWII.

>he current president that talon comprador fuck also just modified the constitution to make himself the eternal president
That's an autogolpe. I just wanted to type that musical Spanish word.

Makes me wonder if Talon coup-proofed in advance. The coupsters were unfamiliar with his game.

This morning:
>The coup is over, don't worry fellow allies
This evening:
>FRANCE AND NIGERIA SAVE ME
>Nigeria preparing to invade if the coup succeed

juste admets que tu as eu tort. il n'y a pas des mentions à propos de devenir le président à vie dans ces liens.
and inb4 people here sperg out at me for daring to speak the DEVIL's language. i'm not french, i'm mexican.

>>2587836
>no mention of lifetime presidency
because it doesnt use the regular presidency position (where they just added 2 years to give them more time to entrench their power before the next elections), but the newly created senate president position, the senate being unelected, for life, and concentrating ridiculous power

I will post some translated excerpts :
>On the early morning of Saturday, November 15, 2025, with the hasty adoption of a new Constitution under emergency procedures, creating a despotic monarchy, a black veil fell over our beloved homeland.

>We extend our hand to all of you, inviting you to gird your loins, to show heroism and a spirit of sacrifice. We call on you to rise up against despotism to save the homeland, democracy, and a bright future for Benin. Young women and men of Benin, Young people from all corners of our country, Stand up, for the Day of Glory is coming! Forward for the homeland and democracy!

>On the night of December 14 to 15, "our people saw a new constitution imposed on them through violence, maneuvering, pressure, and manipulation of all kinds. " Thus, we are witnessing the advent of a monarchical constitution with "a Senate concentrating in its hands all powers, including those of the people (constituent), legislative, executive, and judicial powers; a Senate made up of unelected people whose members, appointed for life, rule over all the constitutional institutions of the country. There is no other term for this than a despotic monarchy. And when we know that the President of this new institution will be none other than the current President, Patrice Talon, we can clearly see the logic behind it."

>Faced with what appears to be inevitable, I urge all my fellow citizens not to sink into despair… I urge all forces, whether political, social, moral, or religious, committed to democracy, justice, humanity, and the homeland, to unite in a sacred union and use all legal and legitimate means to save the homeland and democracy. Today, the word is sacred union to meet the challenge of tyranny. No to the establishment of a despotic monarchy in Benin! No to the monarchical Constitution!

Say where you are from, you pathetic coward
so we can judge what kind of massively butthurt nationalist piece of shit you are depending on what parties get voted into power by your population over and over again.

>>2588191
So you were going for a predictable deflection afterall, lol. I think the difference between you and me is that I wouldn't blindly defend my nation. You can just admit that your country(wo)men don't care about genocide and move on.

>>2588231
It's not "deflection".
>I wouldn't blindly defend my nation
I don't trust you a single word. You are obviously an obsessed, hateful little bitch, you come ITT to spam your anti-german anger since months while hiding your nationality like the pathetic coward you are, because you very much know exactly that your own elected national government is about as bad as our's or worse. You are a hypocrit on top of being a nationalist bigot.

>People are fed up about Israel being shoved down their throat 24/7
Not rly. I talked to some guy recently who was really conservative. same age as me, student. This guy bought into literally all of Israels propaganda lies. And populist right wing lies in general. Like this dude had no idea at all how psychopathic and evil Israel is. And I tell him, I show him literal Israeli laws about those things and only then he was doubting himself and told me at the end "hm you kinda changed my mind about Israel at least". Like if thats the average Joe, then theres definitely still a large portion of people that support Israel just because of the "historic guilt". That being said, even "left wing parties" like Grüne or Linke are not really critical of Israel. Grüne are pretty much cdu tier when it comes to israel, Linke might say they feel empathy for the poor Palestinians (rare thing in German politics) but then they fail to name who brought the misery upon Palestinians. Like theres nobody that dares critizise Israel..

>>2588321
>Like theres nobody that dares critizise Israel..
I mean, being against Israel is basically criminalized at this point. "From the river to the sea" gets you arrested. So legal organizations need to be extremly careful about how they frame stuff - of course, that doesn't justify the cowardly behavior of the PdL which still refuses to call it a genocide (which is, AFAIK, still allowed).

never going to happen

comical how if the choice is between russia and china, europe would rather play junior partner to a bunch of asian communists lol

>>2588269
Russia is a threat to Europe unlike China thats just a trade partner.

>>2588298
A communist trade partner that just tried implementing rare earth export restrictions indicating a desire to control critical industrial price points through global trade. Well if the Euros consider that less of a threat than Russia who am I to complain

Huge assumptions here. Russia-Ukraine conflict is more important for anti-imperialism than Palestine.

>>2586046
it might be more important for ending US hedgemony but its nowhere near as blatant and obvious as Israel.

Orange retard is a liberal. Liberals bad.

its just gonna get worse and continue to fracture the closest America has to a working class.
Imagine in 20 years dudes in their 40s refusing to do party work because of whatever obscure identity the assume

The few town mayors the TKP has have achieved more than Rojava because all it has done has turned out to be quite harmful.
>AES movement
Not even Rojava supporters claim that is actually existing socialism.
>Turkish racism towards Kurds
Sure thing, who are the ones constantly doing roach posting in every threat? The only ethnicity where it is even more "okay" to be racist against in left-wing circles are Indians.

At the current post-war moment in Syria, Rojava deserves critical support.

Nationalist on nationalist violence

Veysi Aktaş: The Turkish left continues with the same old routine, not renewing itself
Leader Apo's message was read at the International Peace and Democratic Society Conference organized in Istanbul by the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party).

The letter was read by Veysi Aktaş, who was released after spending 30 years in prison, the last 10 of which were in İmralı.

Speaking to Bianet, Aktaş responded to criticisms of the letter. He stated that the common problem stemming from the reaction from the government, as well as the left and socialists, is bigotry. He said, "Bigotry isn't just experienced on the right; it's also experienced on the left. This is one of the most fundamental problems facing the Turkish left. For this reason, a 'breakthrough' is impossible. Socialization is impossible, and those ideological molds can't be broken and established on a political basis."

'SOCIALISTS HAVE NO REASON TO SAY'

Aktaş, reminding that the letter draws attention to the crises experienced by the left not only in Turkey but also globally, stated the following: "There's no end to socialists' words. 'We've told the world what we had to say in the name of socialism, and that's it.' A socialist's words are endless. It's impossible for a socialist to experience political deadlock. Because they are based on society, they're based on truth. These assessments are an acceptance of the end or bankruptcy. The Turkish left, too, continues with this mentality, following the same rote, failing to renew itself. In fact, they're essentially holding onto a set of dogmas. They think that if they abandon these dogmas, they'll be swept away, they'll lose everything. That's why they cling to those dogmas so tightly. And they don't analyze them, they don't criticize them, they don't approach them with a free mind. The same rote is repeated over and over again.

WHY DON'T THE TURKS HAVE A HISTORY OF THE OPPRESSED?

Criticizing the Turkish left's understanding of history and calling for a self-critical approach, Aktaş said: “If they want to interpret the leadership correctly, they need to improve themselves in historical sociology. They need to read history correctly. They are strangers to their own history. Even within their own history, a 'history of the oppressed' hasn't yet been uncovered. Why don't the Turks have a history of the oppressed? They are constantly being imposed upon a hiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Mayor Mamdani Unleashes the Wrath of Khan

Investment professionals who work on Wall Street may be in need of grief counseling—or at least a hug and a strong drink—as they try to cope with the fallout from November’s New York City mayoral election. It is not just that self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani will soon occupy the Mayor’s office; it is also that he appointed former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan to his transition team. Khan’s tenure at the FTC was marked by the abandonment of the “consumer welfare standard,” which judges a business's actions by how they affect consumers—which is the way businesses succeed or fail in the free market.

The consumer welfare standard guided antitrust policy from the Reagan years until the Biden presidency. Khan and her allies replaced it with a throwback to the “big is de facto bad” approach to antitrust policy. Khan also promoted what she called “holistic” antitrust which justified government intervention to stop—or at least delay—almost every merger, acquisition, or other business action that would have increased a company's market share, regardless of the impact on consumers.

During Khan's tenure as FTC Chair, the agency filed a record number of challenges to mergers, with a particular focus on the threat of “big tech.” Khan’s war against successful businesses made her a progressive superstar and public enemy number one among free-market conservatives, as well as centrist Democrats and the business community. For example, CNBC commentator and financial advisor Jim Cramer called Khan a “one woman wrecking crew.” Now, Khan will be influencing policy in the financial capital of the world.

Khan, speaking at a Pod Save America event, said that her work in the transition team was focusing on things like taking a full accounting of all of the laws and authorities that the mayor can unilaterally deploy. Reviewing rarely used laws was something Khan did while running the FTC. For instance, under her leadership, the FTC renewed its practice of sending “notices of penalty offenses.” These notices are sent to warn companies that they might be violating antitrust law. Until Khan's appointment, the FTC had not sent any such notices since 1999. During Khan’s tenure, the FTC issued thousands of them.

Khan also revived the Robinson-Patman Act. This New Deal-era law makes it illegal for distributors to offer discounts to large Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
