Starbucks workers hold strike vote amid anger over pay and conditions
Butit has yet to obtain a contract. Starbucks Workers United claims company management started to “majorly stonewall” the union; Starbucks claims the union walked away from the bargaining table. A strike authorization vote called by Starbucks Workers United began last Friday, 24 October, and will continue until Sunday 2 November. About 70 pickets have been planned in 60 cities across the US.

Trump administration ordered to fund SNAP benefits during government shutdown
Roughly 42 million Americans are set to lose their supplemental food benefits Saturday — and it's unclear if Friday's ruling will be enacted fast enough to guarantee recipients get their money in time. Judge John James McConnell Jr. ruled Friday that the administration must fund SNAP, and asked for progress report by Monday, according to news reports.

Tennessee officials drop charges against man jailed over Charlie Kirk meme
Whereas many people across the US lost their jobs over social media comments about Kirk’s death, Larry Bushart’s case stood out as one of the few instances where such online speech has led to criminal prosecution. His arrest – on a charge of threatening mass violence at a school – alarmed free speech advocates, who said the Perry county sheriff, Nick Weems, had targeted Bushart because of his political views. Bushart was released on Wednesday after prosecutors sought to dismiss the charge.

Sudanese Communist Party: Statement on the Massacres by Rapid Support Forces in Bara and El Fasher
Our Party stands clearly and decisively against the horrifying massacres being committed against civilians in the cities of El Fasher and Bara, as well as in other areas of Kordofan and Darfur; a stance that does not accept ambiguity or justification. The Rapid Support Forces continue to perpetrate systematic violence against unarmed civilians: field executions, arbitrary arrests, looting and destruction of property, mass displacement, and forcing residents to flee… and more, as documented and confirmed by reports from the United Nations, human rights organizations, and the media. This hellish, systematic violence is the result of all the wars our country has endured, marked by barbarity and the failure to bring perpetrators to justice. Impunity has never been an exception; rather, it is a central reason for the recurrence of these crimes. The ongoing absence of accountability has recreated an environment that allows the return of war crimes and genocide against the populations of cities and villages as soon as the regime's forces retreat, as seen in Bara and El Fasher.

Jeffrey Epstein and the Mossad: How The Sex-Trafficker Helped Israel Build a Backchannel to Russia Amid Syrian Civil War
Despite securing a sit-down with Putin in the summer of 2013, they did not succeed in convincing Russia to support Assad’s ouster, but their negotiations set the stage for U.S.-Russia cooperation on disarmament of Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal a few months later. Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the U.S., wrote in his memoir that Israel’s diplomatic leadership was told to “avoid being perceived as a player” in Syria. Clandestine actors sought to shape agendas in Moscow and Washington, while Israeli officials denied involvement and used the media to legitimize “red lines” for air strikes inside Syria. After their failed attempt to remove Assad, Barak and Epstein sought to leverage the Russian channel again in 2015, as Barak pushed for U.S. strikes on Iran and rejPost too long.

Sorry I don't speak tetris font, so I don't quite get the point even with the bit you translated. Average unemployment percentage higher than youth unemployment percentage? Or number of all unemployed higher than number of people within young age range in the population (regardless of their employment status) or what?

>>2540897
The percentage of the youth that are unemployed in the EU countries

get a load of this nonsense
>Anarchism is a revolutionary theory for the destruction of any power
>Authority/power is the ability to make decisions and to oblige others to follow them
>This goal is to be realized by Social revolution, undertaken by the oppressed classes
>A class is a relatively stable group of people of similar economic and social characteristics and interests
>Anarchism is liberation
>Anarchism means social order based on free and voluntary labor
>Property is a social relation between those who have and does don’t, backed by the armed force of the state and the laws. Proudhon calls it theft. It is different from the right of personal use of an object that society grants to its members and that can be terminated

Okay, so how does this last thing happen? How does society terminate your right to an object? Isn't anarchism 'the revolutionary theory for destruction of any power'? Isn't power the ability used to oblige others to do things? How does society have this power if not organized as a state?

It's this retarded nonsense that makes anarchists and anarchocommunists our greatest enemies. They muddle the water, repeat Proudhonian nonsense (theft? theft from whom?) and cling onto lofty liberatory phrases without actually doing anything. They can't even manage to define a class correctly. I think you should kill yourself, OP. And tell your anarchocommunist Bulgars to shower and shave. Jesus.

>>2541123
You still think a state just boils down to violence of "one class over another" lol, kill yourself retard.

>>2541106
I don't understand this. The rate of youth unemployment is almost always and everywhere higher than rate of unemployment for the working-age population as a whole. And he denies this?

Nibbuh! Spoilers! Games kinda over-rated but still.

did anyone realize that xi absolutely killed trump in those negotiations. he just bought some soybeans and got tarrifs eased up on him

>>2542926
at 10% inflation, $2.20 the first year, $2 the second year, $1.80 the third year, and so on for a total of 18 1/3 years and you end up with a real price of $18.75 which isn't bad for deferring payment for more than 18 years.

>>2543623
We should appropriate soy and make it a symbol of leftist victory then. This trade victory China clearly marks the supremacy of China and therefore socialism on the world stage.

They relocated 200 tons from the UK to India.

This is probably leading to WWIII

Katamari-PRC will simply absorb it in due time

>>2543109
A takeover by means of economic pressure would be a much better option. At most, some grey area actions with coast guard ships to disrupt trade.

>Just because everything turns to shit will not make everyone magically turn to communism it is just as if not more likely they'll just turn to right-wing extremism instead.
Some anon here once said "It's socialism or barbarism not socialism after barbarism" and I think that's beautiful

>When will China invade and or annex Taiwan?
When China is ready to face USA military. I would say 2035.
>And if so are they justified in doing so?
Kinda because Taiwan has always been part of China and its ruled by Chinese nationalists. Its a separatist region. Its close to North Korea-South Korea situation where country is split up. Would USA invade Alaska if it became independent?

>>2531449
Not many people know, but "Two Systems, One Country" was first suggested in 1979 for Taiwan. If we assume that it would give Taiwan 50 years of autonomy before it becomes a regular province, then the time is supposed to run out in 2029.

lol the chud in the first image cracks me up

you guys are retards and there is nothing to gain from an alliance with retards

You have less infighting because fascism is syncretic in nature, all that matters is "kill da commies"

the old ones (fascists italy) wasnt either

>The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life.
walter benjamin, many decades ago

It's retarded but please let something happen

The only possible red-brown alliance is the sexual-romantic alliance between me and my future homophobic fascist boyfriend

Yes. Let's bring back Social Radicalism.

Since when is Taiwan, Japan and Korea part of the Global South?

>>2542856
end imperialism, climate change, neo colonialism, currency hegemony, forever wars, and you will end the conditions which lead to mass migration. Until you attack the root cause of mass migration, ask yourself why the borders of bourgeois dictatorships should be respected, and why human beings are less free to move around than the commodities they produce through their labor.

>>2542903
almost like there's a 2 tiered system of immigration where there's brain drain from the periphery, but also muscle drain from the periphery. the brain drain ends up at the magnificent 7 silikkkon valley corporations, and the muscle drain ends up on your farms alongside your prisoners (are the prisoners also scabs?).

>>2543945
As long as the proletariat from the global south continue to move and defect to the north, worker solidarity is not possible in the global south. As it stands, the dream of the "middle class" in the south is to move to a developed country, not to unite with their fellow workers.
>>2543947
Prisoners are forced into slavery by the bourgeois dictatorship. Who is forcing the workers from global south to defect to the north?

Millions more will come in, no matter how hard you try to argue, no matter how angry and violent you become.

Islam was populist in the context of India because it broke with the rigidity of the caste system

>>2542666
south asian muslims have their own caste system tho. If anti-casteism was the reason all of India would be Buddhist

>>2542672
I think the difference is that Buddhism isn't dogmatic like abrahamic religions, the Buddhist king Ashoka patronised non-buddhist sects in his kingdom while remaining Buddhist himself, something an abrahamist would never do.

>>2542672
i've never seen caste being mentioned in relationship to pakistanis

>>2542707
Abrhamic religion are extremely bad, reactionary and should be fought against everywhere, no sane rational progressive person support those religions.
