Is it true that Iran did terrorism in sweden recently? If so, why? What would be the motive?

I always thought of Iran as being at least RELATIVELY smart with how they use their power but if its true that they did terrorism in sweden then all I gotta ask is why?

I love how tankies support ultra-reactionary jihadists massacring their way through kibbutz (agricultural commune) murdering literal communists. At first I thought it was ironic, but on the other hand there are few dictators who ever killed as many communists as did Stalin lol.

Lmao, the funniest thing is that someone actually thinks that way. Sorry, retard, history proves you wrong every day. Once you get tired of being wrong, read and become a historical materialist instead of being a libshit.
Zionist colonists who cannot exist without daddy US help (as admitted by the earliest zionists) are not communist, their existence on this land is reactionary. We can clearly see this by the constant slide into reaction Israel is experiencing. They can only double down on genocidal aspirations, and now is the time the people push back. The Palestinian resistance includes communists.

>The correct approach is to stand with the working class of each struggle, to stand with those fighting against imperialism and settler colonialism.
True, which is why the states that insist on genocides while being in fundamentally unsustainable positions that cost the workers their own lives should be dissolved. Neither of the conflicts are symmetrical, one side in each is clearly causing war and openly calling their enemies subhuman. Workers can only benefit from destruction of Israeli and Ukrainian states.

would marijuana be legal in a socialist/communist society? Should leftists participate in movements to decriminalize and legalize marijuana? Would there be state owned marijuana farms? Or is smoking marijuana bourgeois?

That's not really true at all, you're being extremely disingenuous.
What you are referring to is that China ('s private sector) is used for production, logistics and distribution and what not are by traditional structures that operate in the americas, the 'pushing', you refer to.
These labs have existed for years, even small scale you can contact a grey lab, ask if they can synthesize what you reqire (only in large amounts) and often you'll find one who can and is willing to.
Most of PiHKAL and TIHKAL was brought in to public consumption this way, it is what explains the 2000's boom in 'research chemicals', or, RC's. I was in forums where this was actively happening.

A cool fact about their anti-air rockets is the piece of pipe you see on them. These things were brought cheap from the Libian stocks, they are old and the batteries didn't work in order for heat-seeking. What that piece of pipe is is a Gaza made chemical battery that immitates and replaces the degraded originals.

 

National Resistance Brigades (Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces) spokesman Abu Khaled:
Our fighters destroyed one of the enemy's bulldozers and continue to bombard their positions with mortars.
Commander Abu Khaled, spokesperson for Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces (the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine), issued a military statement, confirming that the fighters of Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces destroyed one of the "israeli" enemy's armored bulldozers and continued to bombard their vehicles on the advancement fronts with mortars. Here are the details:
First: A group from Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces successfully ambushed one of the enemy's fortified bulldozers and struck it with anti-tank shells, resulting in the disabling of the D9 bulldozer, and the killing of its driver, in the area of Al-Abd Jabr in Yabna camp, west of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.
Second: Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces bombarded the "israeli" enemy forces that had infiltrated east of Al-Bureij camp, in the central Gaza Strip, with a number of heavy mortar shells, which hit their targets.

Berlin police ban Irish protesters from speaking or singing in Irish at pro-Palestine ‘ciorcal comhrá’ near Reichstag
German authorities have been increasingly restricting pro-Palestine protests against the government’s support for Israel amid its war in Gaza. The ban on languages other than English and German, in Berlin without a designated translator present to interpret for police is seen as mainly targeting Arabic speakers, and therefore Palestine supporters.

Samsung Union Goes on First-Ever Strike Over Pay Dispute
The largest union at Samsung Electronics Co. went on a strike for the first time in the company’s 55-year history, with the standoff over pay so entrenched that the two sides have stopped all discussions. The National Samsung Electronics Union, the largest of the tech giant’s several unions with some 28,400 workers, encouraged members to take a single day off on Friday, which falls between a Thursday public holiday and the weekend. They plan to resume normal work hours next week.

America’s Biggest Tax Scam May Finally End
Is the TurboTax era over? Recently, the IRS announced they plan to roll out a free program that will let Americans directly file their taxes online without using expensive tax-assistance programs. The move could have happened more than two decades ago, if not for corporate lobbyists. Today on Lever Time, we look at the 20-year war waged by tax-prep companies like Intuit and H&R Block to stop the government from letting people file online for free. In the early 2000s, alarmed by calls from the George W. Bush White House to create a public tax filing platform, Intuit, the parent company of TurboTax, went on a lobbying blitz. The government agreed to back down, but only if tax-prep companies allowed low-income taxpayers to file for free. On paper, the tax-prep firms agreed — but in reality, they used deceptive tactics to manipulate taxpayers into paying for their software.

NDFP: Zelensky Visit Part Of US Aim to Portray Marcos Jr As Poster Boy For War Versus China
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s recent visit to Malacañang is part of US imperialist war designs to portray Marcos Jr. as the new poster boy for its proxy war versus China. The -Marcos Jr. media stunt exposes US imperialism’s use of puppet regimes such as the Philippines and Ukraine to advance its geopolitical ambitions. By aligning Marcos Jr as a parallel of Zelensky, the US is positioning the Philippines as a key player in its broader strategy to counter its imperialist rival–China.

I think Murry Bookchin was totally right the classical struggle between militant proletarians and the bourgeoisie at least in the developed world where as in places like Indonesia where repression still exists. And from this we need to find a new way of organizing that fits in with the modern world.


<But the CNT-FAI also revealed the limitations of that type of classical struggle — and it is fair to say that the Spanish Revolution marked the end of a century-long era of so-called “proletarian revolutions” which began with the June uprising of the Parisian workers in 1848. The era has passed into history and, in my view, will never again be revived. It was marked by bitter often uncompromising struggles between the proletariat and bourgeoisie, an era in which the working class had not been admitted into its “share” of economic life and virtually denied the right to form its own protective institutions. Industrial capitalism in Spain was still a relatively new phenomenon, neither affluent enough to mitigate working class unrest nor sure of its place in political life — yet still asserting an unqualified right to ruthlessly exploit its “hired hands.”

Not him but: the best i can imagine is some kind of liason between trade unions, tenants unions, and purpose-specific local groups, each run with a specific purpose, with a primary view not towards building socialism but towards rebuilding class consciousness given how comprehensively it has been crushed in the first world.
I'm happy to concede this is a weak and vague suggestion, but if it all fails horribly it will at least be a novel kind of failure. One more first world Vanguard LARP party isn't going to succeed where all the hundreds of others have failed - even if it was going to succeed it would depend, first and foremost, on the kind of practical, boring activity that a party is horribly suited to because it will always be tempting to discard the boring bit in favor of LARPing as the CPSU.

Every organization should identify a practical immediate need and then try to meet that need. Unions, however poorly, meet this test. Tenants unions, also good. Hell, even many charities and book clubs manage this. LARP parties, however, only ever meet the need of their central committees to feel powerful, to draft arrogant, grandiose statements of "demands" purportedly from the working class but ultimately on behalf of a rug merchant or sex-pest with no working class following to speak of and no serious expectation those demands will be met. The fetish for the party form is one of the worst diseases of the contemporary left - if the alternatives are underdeveloped, that just makes the case more strongly: a thousand dead vanguards, a thousand more waiting in the wings, and so little idea of what else we could try…

So we know the right wing has their dogwhistles, i.e. "Christ is King" and "It's Okay to be White."
How about a Socialist dogwhistle? Something that will trigger rightoids, something that really hurts: reminding them that the soul does not exist, and that consciousness is an illusion. They HATE this, it threatens everything about right wing ideology much more than they are willing to admit. This is why they fought it fiercely in the 20th Century, making sure to appeal to the "godlessness" of communism. Ultimately I believe there is too much idealism around these days. You see it in things like psychedelic culture, wellness culture, tech culture (and their idiotic quest for "immortality") and surprise! they are all becoming very reactionary!

Trigger the idealists. "Matter is the fundamental substance in nature." It's the perfect combination of disarming and bewildering that gave "its okay to be white" and the AOK hand their power. "Matter is the fundamental substance in nature. Make it a meme. Marx would be proud. That's where it all began, after all. Before his ingenious theory of Dialectical Materialism, before Scientific Socialism, before the Communist Manifesto, there was Materialism.
