South Korean online retail workers to hold one-day strike
South Korean workers at the online retailer and delivery company Coupang are planning to hold a one-day strike Friday following a similar walkout on August 1. Workers at the company and throughout the logistics industry are underpaid and have long faced unsafe working conditions and brutal hours. Coupang is a South Korean company similar to Amazon, which in addition to providing online sales, also operates food delivery services, mobile payment services, and online streaming. It is a regular part of the daily lives of many South Koreans and also has a growing presence in Taiwan.

Bangladesh officials testify against Tulip Siddiq at anticorruption trial
Siddiq, who is Hasina’s niece, resigned from her post as an anticorruption minister in United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government in January, following reports that she lived in London properties linked to her aunt and was named in an anticorruption investigation in Bangladesh. She is being tried in the land grab case together with her mother, Sheikh Rehana, brother, Radwan Mujib, and sister, Azmina. The four were indicted earlier and asked to appear in court; however, the prosecution said they absconded and would be tried in absentia.

New Zealand lawmaker who called opponents spineless over Gaza is ejected from Parliament a 2nd time
Chlöe Swarbrick, co-leader of the left-leaning Green Party and part of the opposition bloc, was ordered to leave parliament on Tuesday over a speech in which she called for government lawmakers “with a spine” to endorse her proposal for New Zealand to impose sanctions on Israel over the war in Gaza. She was hit with a three-day ban — lengthy by New Zealand parliamentary standards — but returned the next day only to be ejected a second time.

L.A. volunteers who document ICE raids are being arrested. How to do it safely
She was pinned to the ground, handcuffed and put into an unmarked black van by masked federal agents. The arrest put a spotlight on the risks faced by a growing number of volunteers who work to document immigration enforcement actions across Southern California. Trebach is a member of Unión del Barrio, an immigrant rights organization, one of several advocacy groups that conduct local patrols to respond to and document immigration enforcement operations in Southern California.

D.C. man accused of throwing sandwich at federal agent faces felony charges
Sean Charles Dunn, 37, is accused of being the man in a viral video who threw "a sub-style sandwich" at a CBP agent who was patrolling with Metro Transit Police in northwest D.C. late Sunday, after President Trump ordered an increased federal law enforcement presence in the U.S. capital, per a court filing. "The video has become emblematic of how some Washington residents feel about Mr. Trump's injection of federal law enforcement officers into the city's streets," per the New York Times. "It has also been condemned by others as indicative of disrespect and dehumanization of the police."

San Francisco’s Ultrarich Are Blocking a Zohran-Style Agenda
Zohran Mamdani’s recent victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary is no doubt the shot of adrenaline that democratic socialism needs right now. But while his win shocked most of the nation, democratic socialists have always known that Mamdani’s platform was a winning one. We knew in 2016 that Bernie Sanders could have won. We knew it when COVID-19 hit and the stimulus checks started printing — if the government could provide something like a universal basic income for unemployed people when the economy was flatlining, could they not afford it during boom times? We knew it during the fiasco of the Joe Biden–Kamala Harris campaign while centrist Democrats ignored the economic gasps for breath from working-class America. And although New York’s primary election surprised almost everybody, democratic socialists have been excited, even exuberantly optimistic, about Mamdani’s campaign as a model for other socialists since early 2024. A bold, populist economic platform has massive appeal. As the Zohran adrenaline courses through our networks, to the soundtrack of Bernie’s latest directive to run for office at every level, it’s no wonder many politicians are trying to jump on this winning bandwagon (and making sure to hit record on their iPhones). But in San Francisco — a city known for its progressivism — some mainstream commentators still don’t seem so sure. As Cal Matters politics reporter Yue Stella Yu asked last month: “Could we have a Zohran in San Francisco?” The truth is, for years San Francisco voters have tried to pass Mamdani’s agenda — almost to a tee — and it has been as popular as you’d expect, even without his dimples and killer social media. The people of San Francisco have always been fans of a Mamdani-style platform. They’re not the ones opposing such an agenda; it’s the Andrew Cuomos of the city and their ultrarich backers. The political establishment and the economic elites that fund them have worked to block economic prosperity for working people at every turn.

Inspired by Hans Delbrück, Ishiwara proposed that there are two types of war: protracted and decisive. Japan must unify Asia under its leadership, in preparation for a protracted war with the West under American leadership. He also hoped that an intervention of Manchuria would awaken Japan to its historical mission. He expected that before the final war, Japan would fight a war with America over who can control China, and Japan would prevail.[5]

Ishiwara felt that the period of world conflict was fast approaching, and Japan, relying upon its vision of the kokutai and its sacred mission to "liberate" China, would lead a unified East Asia to defeat the West.[6] He claimed "Japan must be victorious, not for the sake of her own national interest, but for the salvation of the world."[7]

Because Japan isn’t ideologically committed to America? Fuck why do leftoids struggle so hard to analyze states from the perspective of national capital instead of this liberal nonsense where you pretend that states and governments are actual individual people? Japan’s economy is completely flush with US dollars, America functionally controls its economy and thus a lot of its foreign economic policy through that lever due to how dependent Japan, like all of America’s stated allies, have been made on the USA in some sense, in the most obvious case the military (America is still occupying Japan and Japan’s military is nothing compared to all its regional competitors, from China, to the Koreas, to India and Pakistan and possibly even countries like Vietnam) and less obviously, if America gutted trade with Japan and then manipulated their own currency Japan would be hit much harder than America; most of the Japanese capitals just aren’t willing to eat such losses, and the military doesn’t want to risk either facing its adversaries without support or turning America into an open adversary; at least the hegemonic factions in these two structures

It is objectively lame that nowadays communist leaders abandoned wearing badass military uniforms in favor of lame bourgeois suit and ties. I get that they don’t want to look like military dictators but it looks so lame. The only communist that looks cool in a suit was Lenin.

I know it's a bit of a misnomer, but y'know they based it on Mao's revolutionary principles n all that. That's the revolution that they're trying to replicate in a sense



 

honestly it is more economically progressive than the system china currently has, and i think it is a system that people on all parts of the political aisle can come to see the value of. imo the notion of subsidiarity is a doctrine that not only conforms better to the limitations of human cognition (see: dumbar's number) but promotes a more ethical economical life. the segregation of classes afforded by extreme wealth disparities permit the ruling class to behave in a way utterly disconnected from the rest of society. personally i am more left-leaning so believe that companies should be liquidated into worker coops.

>>the fucking guild system
Do you know why Mercantile theorists favored the guild system? Its because they understood that rampant free markets is inefficient and leads to overproduction. If anything, your blind adherence to Anti-Market dogmas is akin to being pro-guild system. But understanding the genuine arguments used by the Mercantile theorists and integrating them into a new economic system while also transcending their shortcomings is not negative at all.

>IF
this 'if' is the size of the Burj Khalifa Jesus Christ. What is to be done to achieve this state of affairs so utterly and completely that its an assumed given of your political model?
As of the present the superstructure of the imperial core already goes scorched earth against mild succdem reformists and is throttling freedom of speech over a failure to control the narrative around the imperial frontier of Israel. How will this distributist movement combat institutional repression due to its existential threat to accumulated private property. Or maintain ideological discipline from its own potential rightist and leftist deviations.

You are going to have to write your own manifesto on how to achieve this immense conditional before building a model of how your economy will function without existential competition. Or surrender to a more practical reality that any insurgent ideology will face siege conditions if (ever) it seizes some state apparatus of some part of the world. resulting in compromises towards existing models which, turns out, have at least an empirical track record.

All third position thought collapses under scrutiny of achieving itself against opposition into fascist vanguard, Leninist party state or subsumed as capitalist reformers.

1. Anarchism, in the course of the 35 to 40 years (Bakunin and the International, 1866–) of its existence (and with Stirner included, in the course of many more years) has produced nothing but general platitudes against exploitation.

These phrases have been current for more than 2,000 years. What is missing is
(alpha) an understanding of the causes of exploitation;
(beta) an understanding of the development of society, which leads to socialism;
(gamma) an understanding of the class struggle as the creative force for the realisation of socialism.

2. An understanding of the causes of exploitation. Private property as the basis of commodity economy. Social property in the means of production. In anarchism–nil.

Anarchism is bourgeois individualism in reverse. Individualism as the basis of the entire anarchist world outlook. {Defence of petty property and petty economy on the land. Keine Majorität. [No majority]. Negation of the unifying and organising power of the authority.}

3. Failure to understand the development of society–the role of large-scale production–the development of capitalism into socialism. (Anarchism is a product of despair. The psychology of the unsettled intellectual or the vagabond and not of the proletarian.)

4. Failure to understand the class struggle of the proletariat. Absurd negation of politics in bourgeois society. Failure to understand the role of the organisation and the education of the workers. Panaceas consisting of one-sided, disconnected means.

>You are going to have to write your own manifesto on how to achieve this immense conditional before building a model of how your economy will function without existential competition
of course. i intend to do so. what is needed is an economic coalition of businesses committed to the vision. ultimately what the fascists have always had was capital. capital needs to be amassed or it is impossible to compete. this is just reality

>>2429962
you can have widespread ownership of the mop without it being common or government ownership. a social democrat would be more inclined to accept something like ubi, but this is merely giving money to keep afloat. without any actual capital, they have little concrete means of fighting back in the case of subversions through massive corporate interests. moreover, social democracy does not care about making sure power does not get centralized in various economic entities, so the subversion of their legal institutions would be inevitable

i personally would prefer all businesses to be democratic rather than have small shopkeepers or whatever. people will have a healthier relation to their work if they share in the ownership of their businesses

>>2429996
not sure why you are arguing about anarchism but ok

>>2431181
>economic coalition of businesses committed to the vision
…a coalition not only economic but also political, dedicated to growing soft power and shifting mass consciousness

The same sort of shit goes for every fucking other bourgeois politician. A few token transsexual pets of the liberals are trotted out now and again and that's enough to convince labor aristocrat commies that transsexuals are genetically bourgeois. The same shit goes for every fucking demographic. I am begging you, fascism cloaks itself in the face of the people. Fascism is rooted in power and money. The problem is always the bourgeoisie first and the reactionaries second.

I mean the Catholic Church is already the single-largest counterintelligence agency in the world. Why do you think the rest of the capitalist psyops are less powerful and less embedded in everyday life? It's at every level, the beat cop who goes lighter on the Nazi gangs, the liberals which intensely criticize real resistance, the whole social services and psychiatry system indoctrinates autistic kids in what's basically a eugenicist cult. All of our social services to support the reserve pool of labor are centered on their violent abuse and indoctrination. You give up the least powerful of your people to eugenicist cults and then you blame the rejects for the violent thugs who cosplay as us who are funded by finance capital.

>generally when tradition becomes about it being a tradition and not the personal enjoyment of those who engage with it, there's reactionism afoot.
What I tend to see is a lot of humiliating stuff that people do to themselves. There's all this bowing and kissing the feet of icons. I don't have a theory of this, but I see reactionism afoot because it's all about submission. "I'm just a little bug, I'm not worthy." But they enjoy it and it feels comfy, and they feel like they need it, and they're not getting it in a hyper-atomized consumer society (which is becoming harder and harder to access because things are becoming more expensive). Also moral exhaustion: "I don't want to think for myself."

Before the invasion, Ukraine was a significant trading partner for China, providing grain, iron ore, and military components. Although the war has disrupted these ties, China remains Ukraine's largest trading partner and is reportedly interested in participating in the post-war reconstruction, seeing opportunities in Ukraine's industrial, energy, infrastructure, and agriculture sectors.

Before 2022, Ukraine was a major supplier to China of:
>Grain (corn, barley — Ukraine was China’s #1 corn supplier in some years)
>Iron ore and steel products
>Aerospace and defense tech (e.g., engines from Motor Sich)
>Sunflower oil and agricultural goods
After the invasion:
>Bilateral trade volume dropped but China still remained Ukraine’s single largest individual trading partner for much of 2022–2023.
>Chinese companies have floated interest in post-war reconstruction, targeting sectors like energy grids, infrastructure, and agriculture.
>Beijing denies any military involvement — although individuals of Chinese nationality have been spotted fighting with Russian forces, those are generally described as freelancers or mercenaries, not state-directed personnel.
While China is not an official combatant, it’s keeping a long-term economic eye on Ukraine’s resources and rebuilding phase — something that also factors into geopolitics, because whoever secures reconstruction contracts will wield influence in Ukraine’s post-war economy.

Do you think this could lead to jealousy and hostilities between Russia and China? Much like how America ditched their allies in Afghanistan and became a Russian satellite after the war (see US backed elite forces becoming wormfood in Ukraine after America ditched them) will Ukraie become a Chinese satellite thanks to Trump's shenanigans? Putin is actively recruiting bourgeois nationalists in Wagner Group, France’s Continental Unity, Bulgaria’s Orthodox Dawn Battalion, and Hungary’s Legion of Saint István have fought alongside pro-Russian separatists, along with Chetnik and Cossack units, like Serbia-origin far-right groups (e.g., Jovan Šević Battalion) and Cossack forces who have participated in the conflict on the separatist side.

Soviet analysts in the 70s and 80s were predicting it to collapse but it didn't. Then in the late 80s early 90s Japan was supposed to overtake them but it didn't. Now China looked like it would for real challenge US hegemony but fucking nope. They are growing even faster now relative to the world than they were in the 80s/90s.
