>full capitalism sucks, full socialism sucks, we need a mixture of the two systems
Lmao, doesn't literally every country now have such a system, what a dumb phrase. Same with Vietnam talking about how they must get rid of "prejudices" against private businesses. Porky nonsense, get rid of those people, establish a planned economy alongside red terror.

>Russia has zero interest in the ‘Group of Seven’ (G7) format, as it is no longer viable, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has stated. He explained that the global dominance of the countries making up the group is nearing its end.

bruh
>On Friday, Peskov said that “our attitude toward the [G7], it’s well known. It has long since stopped being an interesting and in-demand format.”

bruh
>“Russia does not consider such a format viable because global trends indicate that the G7’s share in global affairs and global economy will be inexorably shrinking.” The official noted that “this is not seasonal volatility,” but a long-term trend.

>Speaking at the G7 summit in Canada on Monday, US President Donald Trump expressed regret over the removal of Russia from the group back in 2014.

I want to learn economics, but i know i can't learn about the real economy from mainstream economics. This is why I, an ignorant, humbly ask of you people, who are wiser, to provide me some kind of non-bourgeoise manual for the foundations, or some kind of bibliography, and I'll truly bless you in my heart, comrades, i am completely lost in this subject. Some general guidance is also okay. I appreciate the youtube videos, but i like more to read, I am more used to seriousrly learn by studying a book and everyone who really wants to learn eventually must turn to them anyways. I see the bibliograpy also, but i feel like im too stupid to get into smith, ricardo and marx directly, as if i needed some context, but maybe im wrong, is that the first things i should read?

Stay strong and thank you very much for the attention!!!

Capitalist crises make it easier for communists to get their message heard, but yes it doesn't automatically result in revolution. The hard work has to be done and there is no escape from that. You can think of crises as just lubrication to make things a little bit easier.

If there is to be violent protests which there will be, then google would need to be knocked out completely for our best future. Their company offices, data centres and other resource accumulating zones are detrimental for all humanity. Their division creating machines are the source and reason for infighting amongst all groups at this current stage. They do intentionally mix groups after propagantastic conditioning.

Google sucks everybody's resources dry and will continue to do so at an increasing scale even now when they have continued to take more and more away from everybodys world.

'No war on Iran': New Yorkers rally against US and Israeli regime change plans
On a sweltering summer evening in New York City on Wednesday, hundreds of protesters assembled on the steps of the New York Public Library in Manhattan to convey what they said was a clear message to the city and country's elected officials: "No War on Iran". The emergency protest, organised by a coalition of advocacy groups in New York and in several cities across the country, came as rumours swirled of a possible announcement of direct US military intervention in Israel's attacks on Iran. More than 585 Iranians have been killed since Israel launched its aerial strikes on 13 June over claims Iran was on the verge of developing nuclear weapons.

US judge invalidates Biden rule protecting privacy for abortions
A federal judge on Wednesday struck down a rule adopted by the administration of former President Joe Biden that strengthened privacy protections for women seeking abortions and patients who receive gender transition treatments. U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo, Texas, said the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services exceeded its powers and unlawfully limited states' ability to enforce their public health laws when it adopted the rule last year.

New US visa rules will force foreign students to unlock social media profiles
Foreign students will be required to unlock their social media profiles to allow US diplomats to review their online activity before receiving educational and exchange visas, the state department has announced. Those who fail to do so will be suspected of hiding that activity from US officials. The new guidance, unveiled by the state department on Wednesday, directs US diplomats to conduct an online presence review to look for “any indications of hostility toward the citizens, culture, government, institutions, or foPost too long.

SM of Kazakhstan, Joint Statement: No turning Kazakhstan into a lifeless desert due to the activities of Western companies!
The Communist and Workers' parties note that in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, French, British and American companies are seizing rare earth metal deposits. Memoranda on granting mining rights were signed at the «EU–Central Asia» and «Italy–Central Asia» summits. This will have huge consequences for the environment, agriculture and local peoples, as it will actually lead to the destruction of vast lands that will not be subject to reclamation, as well as poisoning of groundwater in a situation of desertification and radioactive contamination of the area, since these elements are extracted together with radiation cesium and thorium. An example is the disaster in the Caspian Sea, where artificial islands were created in the Northeastern part of the sea as a result of the activities of American and European companies within the NCOC consortium, underwater channels were dug, which raised 20 million tons of soil and caused oil and hydrogen sulfide leaks, which have already killed 90% of the biomass, and the shores They are littered with corpses of dead seals, dead fish and seagulls.

Is Greece Becoming a Non-Viable Nation State?
A Greek newspaper editor, Nikos Konstandaras, said in the midst of the country’s debt crisis, in 2013, that: “The Greeks are in a struggle for survival. And the odds are piling up against us. The fight is not only on the economic front… that has resulted in greatly reduced incomes, higher costs and taxes, and an overriding sense of insecurity. The danger is even more basic: Deaths are outnumbering births, people are leaving the country, and the population is aging so fast that in a few decades Greece may be unable to produce enough wealth to take care of its people and may cease to be a viable nation state…. in Greece the battle for economic survival is so overwhelming that no one has time for the bigger picture….

Gili Cohen comments:
I would put a big question mark over the next two weeks, for two reasons: yesterday we heard Trump on camera displaying clear impatience; and in two weeks - 7/4 - is American Independence Day. I would guess that Trump would want the event, certainly if it includes American involvement, to be finished by then, and not just beginning.

Talking about politics with boomers in the Balkans is fascinating. Serbians tell you at first the usual stuff like NATO sucks, if they are Albanians, they will on the contrary love NATO, just nod, pretend you agree and listen to what they have to say, this is not your country, be respectful and they will love you, then the COVID-19 was fake stuff (I mention Agamben and the state of exception at this point), the wife of Macron is trans, then sometimes it gets wilder, like "the world order is changing, now it will be a multipolar world and Jews will lose because Trump got re-elected" (wtf?) and "the teachers' protest is in part controlled by the government".
I mean, it's nothing as bonkers as the slop OP's dad is consuming, not as terrible, but damn, it certainly hits different than talking about politics with Westoids.
That being said, one of the smartest guys I've talked about politics in general is a Serbian old man living abroad, can speak 5 languages fluently, and I have no idea if he read a lot of books or not, but he has the correct takes on everything, including the Yugoslav wars (everybody was in the wrong and NATO sucks), very chill, the kind of guy who is petit bourgeois in practice to make money but knows very well capitalism is unsustainable and wouldn't mind at all if socialism came back, can explain his ideas with simple words without losing nuance, truly someone who have seen some shit and processed it in a manner that is conductive to living a good life, I'm in awe.

>>2339727
you have to understand your average westerner could live most of his life and never think of politics once,here that is impossible.
The average boomer became aware of politics only in the late 80s up until then his only experience with politics was basically apolitical marxism classes were they just studied how partizans/tito were good and play pretend protests that the party would organize for causes nobody cared or knew anything about.
This all changed in the 80s when from a state of apolitical everything became political and in the 90s these politics became deadly you could lose your head over them.
Conspiracy is also a big staple but again you have to understand them here conspiracies are real.The very first colored revolution happened here and they all fell for it they all saw it,secret services do play a big role in politics here and false flags the staple of conspiracies are actually real.
Poverty also played a big role once you fall into it its easy to fall into all kinds of shady organizations and its hard to accept sometimes that movements and ideas you wanted to kill for were wrong,its why the guy you said seems normal his secure lifestyle afforded him to watch this from the sides and not participate in it.

are you a nazcap in response

Because those pagan religions did not integrate themselves enough into the mode of production. A slave society or nomad society can be either pagan or monotheist. It doesn't matter. So if a pagan society is conquered by a monotheist one, people can convert easily and it doesn't change their fundamental social relations.

>If it isn't, then how Jewish minority had survived Middle Ages and even adapted to the ascent of capitalist better than most, meanwhile literally every single European pagan was exterminated by Christians?
Because monotheism's greatest sin is polytheism and thus, they got wiped out while the monotheist Jews were left "relatively" alone. Even Muhammad's reign saw them left alone as long as they paid jizya. The resentments occurred with the removal of their special privileges like usury and Muhammads iron fist when dealing with long-standing tribal privileges.

>no Middle Eastern polytheist tradition (some of which were older than Judaism) had survived the Islamic conquests?
Pagans were not given the choice of paying jizya, it was convert or die. Islam's main point is that Christians strayed from monotheism with Jesus worship and idols so Muhammad was sent to correct the record one last time. Jews and Christians were given the chance of peace because they are monotheistic and their texts are protected by command in the Quran as there might be a smidgen of "truth" in them. Pagans meanwhile, are completely at odds with monotheism. Islam won because it was much more powerful than the scattered, isolated, tribal cultures that surrounded the region. Islam's power came from ignoring tribal traditions in favor of a unifying monotheistic ideology.

Christians meanwhile didn't even give the choice of a tax. They just killed them all, like in Spain.

>Is Abrahamic privilege a thing that does really exist?
I have no idea what this means. There's a historical materialist explanation for the route religion took somewhere but simply put, religion evolved overtime with everything else. It went like grave worship -> ancestor worship -> idols -> polytheism -> monotheism. It's not divine power or whatever "abrahamic privilege" means.

>>2339758
>Abrahamic privellege
you seem to be talking about Judaism specifically ITT but "Abrahamic" also refers to Christianity and Islam.

Your general question is "how do minorities survive"? The answer is always "carefully"

>>2339933
>Because monotheism's greatest sin is polytheism
Which is funny because every single monotheistic religion does henotheistic/polytheistic tropes when they feel like. The trinity. Angels and demons. The devil. TRVE monotheism would be something like Deism or Spinozist Pantheism.

>wtf how do these monotheistic religions keep surviving?

Taken from 4chan's /isr/ thread:

The Home Front Command confirms the report on Galatz: One of the missiles that exploded this morning in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area was a cluster munition, a “scatter munition.”

This is a missile that disperses several small bombs while at an altitude of about 7 km in the air. At this altitude, the missile's warhead opens and splits, and about 20 small bombs fly out of it within a radius of about 8 km.

The Home Front Command says that each small bomb that disperses weighs about 2.5 kg. These are bombs with a “hard-hitting mechanism” - meaning that when they hit the ground, they explode.

The Home Front Command emphasizes that this is a missile that was known and familiar until now. The damage caused by each small bomb is similar to that of a short-range Hezbollah rocket: "The threat is broader in geographical terms, but it is much smaller than the warheads of ballistic missiles, which weigh an average of 400 kg.

Following the incident, the Home Front Command launched a public awareness campaign today about the new threat of cluster bombs:
1. The defense is no different—as with any other threat, it is necessary to enter a protected space without change.
2. The scattering of small bombs means that there are quite a few duds - so the emphasis to the public is that wherever such a dud is identified - be careful, stay away and do not touch it - and of course report it to the authorities.

Great, now they're throwing fucking cluster bombs at us.
