Leaked State Department Memo Reveals Profound Restructuring
According to the memo’s dictates, what remained of USAID has been thoroughly warped and fully woven into the State Department where it no longer serves its former stated purpose of cultural diplomacy and soft-power humanitarianism. Instead, the State Department has explicitly centralized executive command and control and effectively militarized the executive’s approach to disaster response, population control, and national security. Toward this end, new offices will be created to monitor emerging threats, enforce migration controls, and consolidate foreign aid oversight under political leadership. “There is a true command and control of it in a way that there wasn’t,” Rep. Mast told Drop Site. “That command and control will take place under the political branches.”

Inside the MAGA vs. hawk battle to sway Trump on bombing Iran
During a private lunch with the president at the White House last Wednesday, conservative talk show host Mark Levin told Trump that Iran was days away from building a nuclear weapon, an argument Trump’s own intelligence team has told the president is not accurate, according to an intelligence official as well as another Trump ally familiar with the matter. Levin urged Trump to allow the Israeli government to strike Iranian nuclear sites, which Trump has told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would torpedo the diplomacy.

‘The Families Wanted Boeing to Face Real Accountability’: CounterSpin interview with Katya Schwenk on Boeing deal
Janine Jackson: There’s no need for me to rewrite the AP story on how Boeing and the Justice Department got together and decided no crime was committed when Boeing’s 737 Max planes crashed in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people. So I’ll just cite it: "Boeing did not tell airlines and pilots about a new software system, called MCAS, that could turn the plane’s nose down without input from pilots if a sensor detected that the plane might go into an aerodynamic stall. The Max planes crashed after a faulty reading from the sensor pushed the nose down and pilots were unable to regain control. After the second crash, Max jets were grounded worldwide until the company redesigned MCAS to make it less powerful and to use signals from two sensors, not just one. The Justice Department charged Boeing in 2021 with deceiving FAA regulators about the software, which did not exist in older 737s, and about how much training pilots would need to fly the plane safely. The department agreed not to prosecute Boeing at the time, however, if the company paid a $2.5 billion settlement, including the $243.6 million fine, and took steps to comply with anti-fraud laws for three years. Federal prosecutors, however, last year said Boeing violated the terms of the 2021 agreement by failing to make promised changes to detect and prevent violations of federal anti-fraud laws. Boeing agreed last July to plead guilty to the felony fraud charge instead of enduring a potentially lengthy public trial." But now that we’re up to speed, here’s a reporter whose work, unlike that of AP, is not headlined with a little ticker telling you how Boeing stock is doing. Katya Schwenk is a journalist whose work appears at the Lever, the Intercept and the Baffler, among other outlets. Welcome to CounterSpin, Katya Schwenk.

>both of these claims are correct one at the beginning and eventually the other one
I dont think that is correct. More goods does not increase rate of profit, but it can increase market share for an individual. But individual share of absolute profit does not change or reverse the tendency of the rate of profit to fall in total and does nothing to delay the contradictions capitalism. Again it actually increases them.

The share of total appropriation of surplus value towards a communist state further puts strain on non-communists, as private individuals they are reliant on profit, while a state is not.

Lenin was an incredibly pragmatic and realistic man. He was prepared to work with the Germans to return to Russia through the Eastern front, he was prepared to negotiate in Brest-Litovsk and why he used nationalist movements to promote the spread of Marxism-Leninism.

Surprisingly good post.

All this was not the result of the material progress of history, it was random chance, it was either an arbitrary choice or based on choices and personal opinions of individuals.

yeah and thats already habbening

>On the other hand, the proletarian is relatively freer from such cares; he is not troubled by customers, or by having to pay rent for premises. He goes to the factory every morning, calmly goes home in the evening, and as calmly pockets his pay on Saturdays. Here, for the first time, the wings of our shoemaker’s petty-bourgeois dreams are clipped; here for the first time proletarian strivings awaken in his soul.
Honestly a point on why it can be hard to rouse the proletariat and why having some amount of petit bourgie daily anxiety in the party is useful, but we need to reach into the proletariat to unleash the extremely high levels of people power needed.

What's wrong with being a class collaborationist opportunist? I thought we're all here because we failed to become collaborators.

Pentagon draws up rules on possible use of force by Marines deployed to LA protests
When troops are overseas, how they can respond to threats is outlined by the rules of engagement. At home, they are guided by standing rules for the use of force, which have to be set and agreed to by Northern Command, and then each Marine should receive a card explaining what they can and cannot do, another U.S. official said. For example, warning shots would be prohibited, according to use-of-force draft documents viewed by The Associated Press. Marines are directed to deescalate a situation whenever possible but also are authorized to act in self-defense, the documents say.

California City Cancels 'Divisive' ICE Contract Amid Los Angeles Protests
Citing a need to protect "community trust," the city of Glendale, California announced Sunday it was terminating its contract with immigration officials and would no longer detain immigrants in a local jail. The decision was announced as Los Angeles, which borders Glendale, erupted in protests over raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which said Saturday that it had arrested 118 immigrants.

‘Kidnapped’: families and lawyers desperate to contact LA workers arrested in Ice raids
The raids in the fashion district were followed by enforcement actions in the nearby city of Paramount, where federal agents cuffed and detained laborers at a Home Depot. Agents were also spotted outside a donut shop in nearby Compton, and around schools. Some of the families of those detained gathered outside Ambiance on Monday, demanding the release of their loved ones. Some, like Jacob, were the sole breadwinners in their families. Others, like José Ortiz, had worked in LA’s garment district for years – Ortiz had been with Ambiance for 18 years. “He was always here. He was a loyal worker,” his daughter Saraí Ortiz said. “He is someone who gave his life to this community and to his work.”

Communist Workers’ Platform USA: Statement on the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles
In a statement on the current violent clashes in Los Angeles, the Communist Workers’ Platform USA (CWPUSA) stresses out: Driven by deep convictions on the safety of their fellow working class members, hundreds of protestors made the courageous decision to directly confront ICE agents. ICE has been a weapon of terror wielded by the ruling class against the workers of this country. Brutalizing migrant workers and breaking up families, Democratic and Republican governments alike have set these dogs on migrant workers. The anger of large sectors of the population with the policies of different managers of capital is growing. The second Trump administration has ratcheted up ICE raids nationwide since taking office in January. In service of their capitalist masters, they have enthusiastically enacted their directives to detain and deport migrant workers by the thousands. Workers of this country are disgusted by these terroristic measures. Pushed to action as they were in the 2006-2007 protests to defeat the “Sensenbrenner Bill”, thousands have taken the initiative to resist ICE raids in Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis, and Chicago by blocking ICE agents, obstructing their vehicles, surrounding agents en masse and other tactics. In response, police and state forces have made indiscriminate arrests, launched tear gas, and even deployed the National Guard. The fabricated claims and pretexts by Trump, about looting and gang members, are without evidence. The real targets have been workers: seamstresses, construction roofers, and others. This not only exposes the anti-migrant character of these attacks, but also their anti-worker agenda, made clearer by the arrest of union leader David Huerta.
