Puerto Rico’s government sues private power company as chronic outages damage appliances
The civil lawsuit by the consumer affairs department says the Luma company, which oversees power transmission and distribution in Puerto Rico, was “negligent” and is responsible for damages caused to consumer appliances by outages and power fluctuations. It said the department has the authority to take cases to court to protect those affected by the company’s “inefficiency and lack of adequate service.” The action was filed against the company as a whole since the law exempts Luma’s employees and contractors from claims filed by customers under an immunity granted in 2021 by Puerto Rico’s Energy Bureau.

Military bases in New Jersey and Indiana will be expanded to detain immigrants
The Department of Homeland Security is preparing to use military bases in New Jersey and Indiana to detain immigrants who entered the country illegally, as well as to increase the number of immigrants detained at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, according to correspondence between DHS and the Pentagon obtained by NPR.

US faces alarming firefighter shortage during peak wildfire season, data reveals
Staffing reports produced on 17 July show more than 5,100 positions were unfilled, more than 26%. The problem was especially grim in the Pacific north-west, a region facing extremely high fire risk this year, with a vacancy rate of 39%. The Intermountain region, the largest region with close to 34 million acres of forest lands that stretch across parts of Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho and California, has nearly 37%. The numbers also fail to capture the strain being felt in specific areas within these regions where ranks are severely thin. There are reports of USFS crews staffed with less than half of the positions once considered necessary to be fully operational.

Party Control Is Dead by Ken Klippenstein
Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City and the MAGA revolt against Donald Trump over the Epstein files have one thing in common: people do not want to be managed by the two major political parties, nor the wonk brigade of supposed experts defending them. It’s as if the voters are saying: ‘I’m in charge now.’ And it’s not hard to see why. Today marks the one year anniversary of Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race. The timing could not be more poetic given what happened over the weekend. On Saturday, 35-year-old Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh won the Minnesota governing party’s endorsement for mayor of Minneapolis. Without any major organizational backing, Fateh defeated the two-term incumbent Jacob Frey, who had the backing of Senator Amy Klobuchar, former Minneapolis Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton, and a long list of party officials. Mamdani meanwhile is poised to become mayor of America’s largest city, winning the primary without the support of his party’s leadership and now snubbed by those very same “leaders” who made excuse after excuse for Biden right up until it was too late to find a candidate who might defeat Donald Trump. Trump is left having to argue that the Jeffrey Epstein scandal is a nothingburger in response to an uprising of unruly MAGA voters, including even prominent influencers and members of Congress from his own party. Having flip flopped too many times to count, Trump has lost control of his once-faithful base. Party discipline is on its deathbed. Good riddance.

Questions Remain after Syria – Rojava Integration Deal
On March 10, 2025 the Syrian transitional government inked a deal with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) that will have them integrated into the Syrian military by the end of 2025. The agreement is part of wider efforts to unify and integrate all of Syria’s disparate rebel groups and the territories they control into one entity, following the rebel victory over the al-Assad dynasty earlier this year. But behind the public gestures of goodwill and carefully choreographed photoshoots remains significant distrust and animosity within a Syrian society that is still reeling from over a decade of nearly constant civil war.

"anti-work" reakkktoid reinvents slavery

>>2397043
social darwinism is fundamentally retarded if you support it while existing outside the ruling class, so it requires no refutation. Simply call its proponents retarded jewish niqqas and move on

>>2397043
Capitalism is individualistic, or at least the supporters of it claim so in opposition to collectivist socialism. Why should I contribute anything to capitalism? For what purpose?

>>2399205
It's not slavery, since you like to work so much it won't be a problem to altruistically share your plus value for free, you already do it willingly for your master after all

>>2399042
>i keep confusing class dictatorship with individual dictatorship on purpose so i can always be right when asking about "dictatorship"
ok retard

>>2399038
Cause the class in charge collectively decides how things go trough formal state institutions, has been this way since greek citizens were democratically deciding how how their society made up of 95% slaves should work

wtf Bordiga would've supported Putin??

Like those wholesome open air slave markets in Libya right now?

>>2398902
Uhm did you consider that proles need to suffer so that a revolution happens, btw that there wasn't a revolution in Libya after it's collapse 14 years ago means nothing.

Proles suffering = communism

the anon is actually quoting other sources that tie him to right wing projects and viewpoints, and gives very little opinion himself, so i'm puzzled why you care about his viewpoint so much. If you are sympathetic to his views and his project, then just say it outright. Also, a historians' job is to investigate primary resources, that doesn't mean their interpretation is by default valid or free from bias; you can selectively interpret primary resources, or your limited access to particular types of primary sources can shape your narrative.

>I don't really know how he doesn't know that most of what he said applies to capitalism, the enacting of policies that ignore the consequences to labor and those at the lowest in society.
He knows. He just doesn't care at this point, and will paper over the immiseration of workers in this country and around the world with whatever talking points and memes are in vogue among his Hoover Institute accomplices. Watch this seminar delivered to a group of porky investors in Singapore where he goes full sicko on the threat of de-dollarization by the BRICS countries.

The reemergence of the Epstein case reveals deep fissures within Trump’s supposedly unshakeable “base,” as fascists like Steve Bannon and Alex Jones first denounced Attorney General Pam Bondi, then reversed themselves abruptly at Trump’s command. Among the millions who voted for Trump, out of anger over the economic hardship brought on by the pro-business policies of the Biden administration, the Epstein affair only deepens their disgust with all of capitalist politics.

These shifts demonstrate how false the corporate media and Democratic Party narrative of Trump’s political invincibility is. The truth is that Trump is widely hated, and that tens of millions despise his policies, particularly in persecuting immigrants and attacking democratic rights and social benefits. They have made their feelings known in some of the largest protests in American history. The most recent public opinion poll records his approval rating at just 42 percent.

Trump only appears “strong” in comparison to the political eunuchs in the Democratic Party, whose cowardice enrages those who wish to fight back against Trump and fascism. The mass anti-Trump sentiment finds no expression within the Democratic Party. On the contrary, the Democratic Party, and the trade unions and pseudo-left political figures who prop it up, are Trump’s main line of defense.

There is another similarity between the Stavisky and Profumo affairs and the current scandal over Jeffrey Epstein. All of them were or are connected with deepening social tensions, simmering just beneath the surface, and soon to erupt—in the class battles of the 1930s, the mass radicalization of the 1960s, and now the political explosions which are on the agenda in the second half of the 2020s.

Driving these struggles are far more profound issues than the corruption of Trump and the entire ruling elite, however much that provokes mass outrage. Inflation continues to tear at the living standards of the masses, even as social infrastructure is systematically smashed up by budget cuts and mass layoffs in Washington. For the vast majority, conditions of life have become increasingly impossible.

Trump exploited illusions and discontent to return to power in the 2024 elections, with the indispensable assistance of the Democrats. But sooner or later, like any con man, the day of reckonPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

PATRICK LANCASTER! Ukraine Frontline Combat: Soldier Crawled Through Minefield To Defect To Russia
In this exclusive frontline report, an interview of "Erick" — a former Ukrainian soldier from Mariupol who risked his life to escape the Ukrainian army by crawling through a live minefield to defect to Russian forces. Erick explains why he turned against the Ukrainian government, how he was forcibly conscripted, and why he believes the war began in 2014, not 2022.

Good yeah.
Reminds me of the local news saying "the sanctions are finally working"
Really, it was some unhinged report about how people in Moscow don't yet feel any real adverse effect but the economic indicators are bad and things will turn very soon
Hilarious
The point btw would be to hurt them more than you hurt yourself
Which the west (evropa especially) is not doing at all
At all
They are essentially hurting themselves in their confusion on a global scale
Funniest shit I have ever seen
Self containment of the previous masters of the world.

My head canon is that China is ultra-imperialist (anti-imperialist) in the Kautskyist sense.

Feudalism -> Capitalism -> Imperialism -> Ultra/Anti-Imperialism -> Socialism -> Communism

The only capitalists who will ever ally to build a transnational capitalist class opposed to imperialist draining of the periphery are the ones of the formerly colonized nations in the context of a society shaped by the national liberation struggle.

China just announced they are focusing less on exports and more on internal demand for economic growth, as the world simply isn't wealthy enough to absorb more and more Chinese goods. Increasing internal consumption means decreasing the % of GDP going into investment, the classic "eating the seed instead of planting it". This is also partly due to decreasing rates of profit, as most investment is done only if its profitable.

It will be interesting to see how China handles TRPF going forward. So far, they haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary.
