ExxonMobil sues California over climate disclosure laws
Exxon Mobil Corporation is suing the state of California over a pair of 2023 climate disclosure laws that the company says infringe upon its free speech rights, namely by forcing it to embrace the message that large companies are uniquely to blame for climate change. The oil and gas corporation based in Texas filed its complaint Friday in the U.S. Eastern District Court for California. It asks the court to prevent the laws from going into effect next year.

On the 2025 Malagasy Protests
On September 25th, 2025, Madagascar joined the growing multitude of countries currently undergoing widespread protests fueled by an accused uneven distribution of resources and encroaching government authoritarianism, leading to the deaths of at least 22 protestors at the hands of President Andry Rajoelina’s security forces and leaving as many as 100 non-lethally injured according to figures reported by the United Nations. Initially organised via social media platforms such as Facebook and Tiktok, the newly-formed Gen Z Mada cites recent youth-led movements in Nepal and Morocco as inspiration for their rebellion, which began in the capital city of Antananarivo and has since spread throughout the country. Madagascar’s rising unrest further exemplifies Gen Z’s unique approach in the context of the digital age to class struggle, revolution, and the lasting impacts of imperialism on national political stability.

The Anti-Tech Backlash Is Going to Grow Stronger: Review of Stop the Machines: The Rise of Anti-Technology Extremism by Mauro Lubrano (Polity, 2025)
In August 2011, a mail bomb exploded at the Monterrey Institute for Technology and Higher Education in Mexico. Two scientists at the institute were injured — one mildly, escaping with light burns, the other more seriously, with shrapnel from the bomb piercing his chest and perforating his lung. At first, the Mexican authorities did not know who had carried out the attack. State Attorney General Alfredo Castillo Cervantes told the press that it might have been the action of a criminal gang, or perhaps a disgruntled student. Yet they soon realized that it had been a deliberate terrorist attack. The bombing formed part of a campaign against scientists involved in the development of nanotechnologies. The perpetrators called themselves the Individualists Tending Toward the Wild (ITS), a group that would go on to proudly adopt the label “eco-extremist.” The worldview espoused by the Individualists — “nature is good, civilization is evil” — sums up the ethos of a variety of groups and ideologies. Building on the legacy of figures like Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, they want to bring down tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

From skimming her wiki she's a reformist "socialist" but apparently not as bad as the mainstream of European socdems. Do note however that she's a "pacifist", does not believe the Irish needs an army, opposed the "violence of the IRA" and doesn't consider herself a Marxist socialist. I think that paints a picture quite well as to what to expect.
She will be a voice against Israel in the talk shops for example, but in the event that European neocon and/or reactionary forces spread into Irish politics she'd roll over because she's a naive humanist, unless Marxists were able to pressure her to change position through line struggle to that point).

huh is that why educated professionals still can only demand at most petit-bourgeois reform even today LOL

The Left(tm) usually has its ranks filled by the middle class who get into politics at college, through some sort intellectual process, and not through any sort of pressing need

>>2527653
>educated professionals=intellectual
What did I say about anarchronisms? Back then there were basically no working class intellectuals because being a person with good education, formal or informal, pretty much guaranteed middle class job. There days it does not. Are you in any contact with any communist orgs? Pick whichever you consider the "real" communism, doesnt matter, because it is going to be filled with shit payed highly educated people.

This is just M3W garbage.

>If we are Leninists in any meaningful sense, then we know that the working class can only get to trade-union consiousness and that it needs and outside actor to link up the movement with communism. This actor historically speaking is usually the petty-bourgeois intellectual.
Class collaboration. Ironically the same type that restricts the viability of trade unions as a revolutionary organ. It's what people rebel against Bernstein and Kautsky for.

>But what you probably can imagine is the student intellectual, which is a weak surrogate of the actual communist intellectual, because a student is usually only a free intellectual for a limited time and then they either get a good paying job (if they are in STEM) and have the same material interest as imperialism (all techincal advancment is for the war machine) or are forced to reproduce bourgeois ideology (if they are in the humane arts) after they finish their studies.
Here we got some Pol Pot. Students are in training for the working class because the developed world values highly skilled labor over menial labor, if even just to afford a basic living. Your wage being higher than someone in Haiti does not make you a labor aristocrat or petit-bourgeois. That's Settlers bullshit that Sekai made up due to his hatred towards whites. "Bourgeois ideology" is not isolated within universities, it's implanted on children from the second they're born.

Students tend to have a higher chance of giving a shit about socialism because they are in the environment and have the free time for exposure to socialist literature. The working joe is exhausted after a day of work to support their family and favor passive consumption of entertainment (youtube video essays included) since it's "predigested" for them, not requiring any intellectual engagement. Students are encouraged to engage in intellectual activity, so you are bitching about them for doing the same fucking thing you're doing, which is studying (through twitch streams and image boards) socialism.

>There is 1) no actual communist intellectual worth their salt
Again, what is a "communist intellectual" that's so radically different from a normal intellectual?

>2) there is absolutely no organic working-class movement against capital that can link up with these communist demands,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

one major issue i haven't seen brought up much with nukes is naval warfare. It might be entirely feasible to have limited nuclear war using nuclear tipped missiles to knock out flees in the middle of the ocean without it being a major escalation risk.

Based Analysis Comrade, Global Nuclear War wont just allow for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR that will place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, its limited Cooling affects (not the scary “Nuclear Winter” conspiracy theory the MSM peddles, but just some cooler Winters with more Snow and Rain) will also completely reverse Global Warming, like, the International Haute Bourgeoise and their MSM and Quack “Scientist” puppets don’t want you to know that Nuclear War will literally save the Environment from Global Warming and stop the Ice sheets from melting and the Sea levels from rising, like, it is literally the most Environmentally sustainable thing Humanity can do in the 21st Century, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Yeah, my "wtf" moment was when Putin said that a few Oreshniks with a conventional or gravity warhead have the same effect as a tactical nuclear weapon. Isn't that an odd thing to say even given that tactical nukes don't have the power of strategic nukes? Tactical nukes are claimed to have at least the power of the nukes dropped on Japan…

>>2536574
Yeah and what we’ve seen are that nukes aren’t takin out whole cities forever or causing world ending damage. I don’t even want to hear anything about Japan because that country was firebombed for days well after the bombs dropped and that sustained firebombing left far more damage than the nukes ever did—mind you this was also when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were also at a fraction of the size they’re today.

Most other species would be driven into extinction too. And then whatever evolves after that will be more or less the same as what came before.

They are too busy smearing poorer and less developed places that are trying to liberate themselves from the american empire.

the Europeans who were anti-American lost in the late eighties. The victorious American imperialist compradors have intensified the struggle to eliminate the vestiges of the anti-American movement ever since. By the 2010s, they had already achieved complete success.
Now, even an independentist position held by a centre-right conservative like De Gaulle is seen as 'russophilic and sinophilic' and a threat against 'muh liberal democracy, muh globalised (in reality servility to amerikkka) progress'

Their error was not starting an insurgent group, but waging insurgency wayyy before they even came close to being able to win, or even benefit from such a situation. Focoism won't work in the US. Really any strategies of protracted hot insurgency are doomed because of a lack of jungle and semi-feudal conditions. The type of party or insurgent group we need is one that accumulates forces until it's strong enough to transition to the offensive. It has to focus on gaining moral supremacy among the people and educating workers. Every action has to be broadly popular to the most oppressed. Some examples of their day to day activity might be face to face educational work, organizing community self defense, striking military infrastructure involved in unpopular war (like those manufacturing weapons for Israel), liberating the most infamous prisons and camps, engaging in mutual aid (within the party or front orgs/societies also involved in political education to ensure mutuality, as opposed to charity) that goes beyond food pantries, e.g. collective funds as insurance or loans, professionals donating their skills to other members, help with employment and housing, etc., and taxing harmful businesses where possible, meanwhile infiltrating local governments and essential infrastructure. Eventually taking out and replacing whole precincts and possibly councils if they seem unable to represent the people due to inbuilt undemocratic measures. Eventually engaging in socialist construction, e.g. undercutting monopolies with local small industry, building housing, expropriating landlords and monopolies (especially utilities), enforcing some changes to school curriculums, transferring surveillance apparatus to party control, setting up local munitions and weapons production, and creating recruitment pipelines in all captured institutions.

So the ultimate result of your policy would be that a few thousand gays are sent to Europe AKA ethnically cleansed from their homeland to make lebensraum for Israel while everyone else dies. But I suppose in 30 years Israel will "repent" for everything they've done and invite those surviving gays back to receive an apology from the president of Israel, since they no longer need to be militant supremacists and can start repairing their PR after they've fully cleansed and annexed Gaza and the West Bank and whatever other land they want, so that makes it all better.

Can there be progressive national struggles after the dissolution of the colonial system and the counter-revolution in the USSR?

An easy answer would be to simply point out thte palestian struggle. However besides the just side of the war from the side of the palestinian resistance
We can point out that the international attitudes towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be classified into four main categories, that have antagonistic intrests that can be assimilited in the intra-imperialist struggles. First, the open supporters of Israel —the US, UK, NATO member states and leading EU powers (France, Germany)— who politically, militarily and economically support the Israeli state, the Euro-Atlantic axis. Second, the powerful capitalist states of the emerging Eurasian alliance, mainly Russia and China, which maintain a cautious stance, promoting the creation of an independent Palestinian state and a peaceful solution, but aiming to strengthen their own geopolitical and economic interests. Third, regional powers in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, which sometimes cooperate and sometimes clash with the US and Israel, selectively supporting the Palestinians when it serves their interests. Saudi Arabia has suspended rapprochement with Israel, Turkey is reconsidering energy projects with Tel Aviv, while Egypt is concerned about refugee flows and the strengthening of Hamas. Finally, states such as Iran, Lebanon (through Hezbollah) and Syria are more directly involved, supporting the Palestinian resistance and maintaining an open conflict with Israel, making a generalized conflagration in the region possible.
It is obvious that the palestinian struggle does mot aim at socialist revolution but the formation of a state in general. That is necessary. However, can we say that it is progressive if the national struggle is not conmected with the social struggle? Can national indipendence even be achieved without socialism?

Imo, the delusions of multipolarism are dangerous.
They are traps against the formation of an independent peoples movement and end up assimilating any resistance against western imperialism in the intrests of the part of the national bourgeoisie that wants to allign with Russia and China. Most importantly, these delusiona conceal the eurasian imperialist camp that is begining to take form.
