Not surprising tbh. Some of the worst fascoid pigs I've seen online have the girliest anime pfps and the most disgustingly deviant sexual behaviour. Even IRL fascists back in the day were massive degenerates. So much for traditionalism.

war isn't bad because we bomb civilians. war is bad because we spill OUR blood and OUR treasure in THEIR quagmires

this is the difference between lolbert anti-war and principled anti-war

they are disgusted with themselves, project that disgust onto society, and lash out against society with over-correcting and hypocritical reactionary violence

Ha-Joon Chang Has Exposed the Fallacies of Neoliberalism
Ha-Joon Chang is a rarity in the contemporary world: an economics professor who is highly critical of the neoliberal free-market orthodoxy, advocates progressive social change, writes and speaks accessibly, and is very, very popular. Chang’s books have sold millions of copies, and he is a regular contributor to mainstream media outlets. According to Chang himself, his aim is not simply to challenge free-market orthodoxy, but also to support, through his work, the kind of “active economic citizenship” that will demand “the right courses of action from those in decision-making positions.” While socialists can learn a lot from Ha-Joon Chang’s work, we also need to read it critically and identify some of the gaps in his thinking. Chang’s self-professed aspiration is to promote an alternative form of capitalism, but our goal should be to develop an alternative to capitalism.

The Iranian women are better off on their own
The Iranian women are better off on their own, without the mainstream “solidarity” from the West. Want to help Iranian women gain their freedom? Push your governments and mainstream media to leave them alone! It’s been two weeks that I haven’t been able to take my eyes from my laptop and mobile screens – the only means connecting me to Iran right now. I’ve spent countless hours watching videos of protests happening in my hometown and cities I have lived in, recognizing some of the streets, shops and places – familiar scenes, vivid reminders of big or small riots in the past. I find it increasingly harder to get any work done or sleep without waking up with fast heartbeat. It’s nerve-wrecking to watch your sisters getting beaten up by the police and plain cloths thugs, from the safety of your home here in Europe. You don’t get to be a part of their struggle; guilt and solitude is all you get. However, joining the rallies organized by the exiled groups in Europe would make me feel even more guilty, guilty of standing in line with those who have constantly worked to strengthen oppression on Iranians and intensify their pain. The very same groups are now organizing rallies pretPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It gets stranger:
Auguste Vaillant also threw a bomb into the French Chamber of Deputies to avenge Ravachol.
Vailant was executed for this.
For exectuing Vailant Émile Henry threw a bomb into a cafe and when asked why he killed all those innocent people he said 'There are no innocent bourgeoise.'
<And finally:
Sante Geronimo Caserio fatally stabbed President Marie François Sadi Carnot, to avenge the executions of anarchist bombers Auguste Vaillant and Émile Henry.

<Well, if the rulers can use against us rifles, shackles and prisons, we must, we anarchists to defend our lives, we must stick to our principles? No. On the contrary, our response to the rulers will be dynamite, pump, stiletto, dagger. In short, we must do everything possible to destroy the bourgeoisie and the government. You who are representatives of bourgeois companies, if you want my head, you can take it!

Probably to destabilize Germany

Probably because admittedly they have a kickass flag and name

Same reason sometimes the CIA covertly funded, or formed out thin air, maoist groups rather than just anti-communist death squads.

I don’t know about organizing, but during 2020 for example a lot of video and information was available on Twitter, allowing for publicity for things which were never mentioned in mainstream press. For example the low-flying military helicopters used on protesters, the state violence in general, the telecommunication network shutdown in DC, etc. In this regard of conveying acute information I think it was pretty important.

>>1273482
I think a third situation like this may genuinely do it. Tumblr and Twitter have proven that fostering your presence exclusivly within web 2 is a bad idea. People are starting to figure out that using your web 2 to funnel people to your web 1 is the meta.
If one more major art site of this scale goes down, like instagram likely to go down with facebook web 2 is donefor and we're back to rss feeds being the only feeds.

1. you are talking like an idealist again
2. it was you who pointed out what the 'correct opinion' must other anarchists have. In reality, anarchists have worked as disruptive elements of the left, which the CIA acknowledged its effectiveness, so the 'correct opinion', silly idealist cat, for them, is to have a theory, less praxis, more theory, and shit serious theory, not stupid-ass theory written by people with some weird psychological problem.
3. When I see a socialist revolution in the west I will give a single fuck about a westerner telling me about "the tasks of the revolutionary movement" in an ideological debate where the discussion is reduced to that, meanwhile stay put or get sprayed again.

temporary investment. if you havent made money from it now then dont bother investing, you're too late.

If crypto advances it would become a preferable value of exchange un-regulated by state . Wich makes it perfect for agorist counter-economic actions .

No. It used to be backed by gold until that American idiot president, Nixon, abolished it; now money is backed by debt ad infinitum, debt which cannot be paid back unless the government decides to wipe it clean, then the people lose their money (not the banks).

The game is and was rigged, and not in favor of the people.

Common street gangs also kill cops. Are they communist?

>>1273098
These cops exist to terrorize tribal people and peasants, and are lapdogs of landowners and capitalists. I'm not a Maoist, but these people deserve to die. The Maoists have complete support of tribals and peasants. Maoists actually give medical care, education and many more services to the people and the people keep them hidden and don't talk to the people.

None of the actual militant MLM groups are what I'd call "Gonzaloids". They aren't out chanting Gonzalos name or demanding people submit to Gonzalo thought. They just follow the ideas that Gonzalo was the first to synthesis. The Gonzaloids are the ones who describe themselves as "MLM, Gonzalo Thought, primarily Gonzalo Thought" etc.

>>1272762
Yeah, believers in "NKVD routinely tortured people to make them admit to crimes" should have some extraordinary proofs to back up their ridiculous claim - on a leftist/communist website, at that

Bolshevik party failed at communism and the only way to keep power was to murder anyone who disagreed. Bolsheviks were worse slave masters than capitalists.

>Bolshevik party failed at communism
Bolshevik party succeeded at building lower stage socialism, and that meant dramatic betterment for hundreds of millions of people. This probably was the most dramatic leap of progress that humanity ever made.

>and the only way to keep power was to murder anyone who disagreed. Bolsheviks were worse slave masters than capitalists.
<And Stalin ate all the babies and bathed in the tears of their mothers. After that everybody in the Soviet Union died, was revived with necromancer technology and then killed again, 5 times a day, until all the suffering created a parallel dimension that is called stalinism, that is now inhabited by soviet daemons, who retroactively are the reason why humans aren't immortal.

>>1273487
The absolute state of this board

>>1273487
Bolshevik party was such a success at communism that capitalists to this day incessantly demonize them and have to continue rewriting history and to sponsor good-for-nothing academics who can't even write books good enough to make millenials not like socialism. Fuck, they have to spend billions on museums, statues and random anticommunist events in order to FAIL at stopping communism to become stronger.

That's how bad bolsheviks were at communism

Biden administration to make it easier for student loan borrowers to discharge debt in bankruptcy
The Biden administration announced on Thursday updated guidelines that will make it easier for those struggling with their student debt to discharge it in bankruptcy. The new bankruptcy policy comes from the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education, and allows federal student loan borrowers to prove that they’re experiencing financial distress requiring a fresh start. Under the rules, the agencies may recommend that a bankruptcy judge discharge a borrower’s student debt if they find their case warrants it.

Western US cities to remove decorative grass amid drought
A group of 30 agencies that supply water to homes and businesses throughout the western United States has pledged to rip up lots of decorative grass to help keep water in the over-tapped Colorado River. The agreement signed Tuesday by water agencies in Southern California, Phoenix and Salt Lake City and elsewhere illustrates an accelerating shift in the American West away from well-manicured grass that has long been a totem of suburban life, having taken root alongside streets, around fountains and between office park walkways.

Starbucks union to strike at more than 100 locations on Red Cup Day, one of the chain’s busiest days of the year
Workers at more than 100 unionized Starbucks locations plan to strike on Thursday, one of the chain’s biggest sales days of the year. To celebrate the holiday season, Starbucks every year gives away reusable red cups bearing the company’s logo with any purchase. The giveaway on the coffee chain’s Red Cup Day has become a must-have for collectors, and this year’s event marks its 25th anniversary.

CP of Venezuela, PCV press conference 16.11.2022
The Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) warned this Monday in its press conference about the proposed Labor Emergency Law that Fedecamaras is proposing with a view to legalize the practice already instituted in the country of desalarizing workers' incomes. "The deliberations of the 16th National Congress clearly established that the solution to the socio-economic problem that the working class, the popular sectors and the people in general are going through is not in the hands of Fedecámaras or the Government; neither in the corrupt leaderships of certain trade union centrals, but it is in the hands of the clasist trade union movement that has carried out important mobilizations in defense of wages" said Perfecto Abreu Nieves, president of the PCV. Fedecámaras is currently proposing an "Emergency Bill" and "we all know that Fedecámaras is the genuine representative of the interests of the employers in Venezuela: they are far from wanting to defend the interests of the workers", said the spokesman of the Political Bureau. "Likewise, the Government has been applying a policy -with the approval of different sectors of the right-wing opposition- that takes away rights from Venezuelan workers. Such is the case of the salary bonus; the dollarization of the economy; the theft of social benefits and the liquidation of collective agreements", he added. Abreu Nieves reminded that "the rescue of wages, benefits and collective agreements will only be possible with the struggle of the workers and unions movement" and made a call to the popular movement to support this struggle.

The Coming Sinophobic Calamity
Neither the red wave nor the blue one materialized in the latest election, which removes some of the impetus for the coming congressional Sinophobic rampage. Some, not all. The relatively good results for Biden mean that for the moment he no longer needs the Beijing boogeyman and could afford to be gracious toward China’s leader, Xi Jinping at the G20 summit. But the GOP won by enough last week to say that so did Sinophobia. The Dems may be, quite despicably, all about World War III with Moscow, but it is a partisan endeavor, becausPost too long.
