Marx didn't consider that human emancipation will come from working class unity rather than ruling class unity (in murdering workers)

I'm bumping this again because of current events. The Venezuela thread is infested with raiders right now, but whatever is happening to the country right now proves my point in OP >>2594810

Countries should stop appeasing the fascist US regime FFS.

>>2594810
You're correct OP. There is only one option left to deal with the American Empire. Nukes.

Nuke New York

>Nukes
I know, you're being ironic, but it's not what I suggested. Read the thread, asshole

can't wait to hear the ineffectual UN statement about this.

So TL;DR it'd be very bloody. China would have to pull off the biggest naval invasion in history, establish a beachhead, then engage in a slugfest of urban/mountain/jungle warfare with an entrenched Taiwanese force supplied by AUKUS and Japan probably.

There are plenty of non-nuclear options China has for bringing Taiwan to a halt, but as with Russia, the ruthless mentality' is missing, so yeah, you'd likely get the dumb Ukraine attrition scenario all over again.

The west is bogged down in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the USA is just starting another potentially costly war in Venezuela. China must seize the moment.

>>2619809
>The US doesn't really care about the 25,474th naval drill. The US assessment (maybe right, maybe wrong) is that Chinese leaders are like Russian leaders: too timid to stick the knife into the US, maybe will even send an envoy like Kirill Dmitriev to lick Trump's balls.
Why are they like this? Can't they just grow balls?

Has there been any confirmation of civilian casualities?

>>2622282
yeah most people are fucking retarded
Though there's not many people in the mainstream media making the argument that US interventions lead to more immigrants, even though it's obvious.

>they're going for a decapitation strike on the leadership.
I think the smelly armchair generals on Zigga Twitter and Telegram need to tell the US that decapitation strikes don't work.

>>2620531
Yes they can. Colonialism isn't a greater concept than capitalism.

Yeah thank god Stalin did his national liberation thing and made Israel. Hail Sakai.

tf? are you aware that your country is and always has been heavily pro israel on account of the Indian governments anti-muslim discrimination and its rivalry with pakistan?

>Assad's cronies and his family controlled virtually all major businesses
it's true that Alawis and Christians were major supporters and members of the Syrian government, but Assad's government also was packed with sunnis from top to bottom. It's easy to represent it as an ethnic supremacy but it's just the nature of family patronage and kinship is that alawis were easier to put into the government. Plenty of alawis also weren't benefitting from the assad's rule directly except for the secularist and enforcement of nonsectarian rule, while many sunnis were part of the Assad's network of cronyism.

Has Hamas released any statement on the Iran protests happening right now?

>>2622213
Yeah, they support Iranian workers who are getting fucked over by their cucked regime.

>1922
Yeah this was when Lenin was dooming and coping.

>>2621189
It was when he realized war communism brought nothing but misery to proles and peasants.

>>2621189
Even if so then what?

How is he a Marxist when he rejects dialectics which is fundamental to dialectical materialism? He even lends to ridiculous idealizations of bourgeois economics such as the axiom of assuming people are rational actors when people are often irrational and desires and therefore decision making even with perfect rationality differ. His entire anti-woke schtick is really just him being a stereotypical smelly Indian who is trying to find acceptance from white people (more specifically white men) by trash talking progressivism.

>>2621106
>His best quote is "we're all social democrats in the short term" as well as "there have never been any successful revolutions in already established bourgeois democratic states"
Yeah people love to talk about the right way to do shit but we still haven't found it yet. All the successful revolutions have been either in the periphery or in outright undeveloped places (USSR). The situation is different and will necessarily call for different methods. If the standard ML programme was applicable to the "imperial core" and highly developed capitalism, it's had plenty of time to prove it.

A new California law gives the state more power over workplaces. Trump is suing to block it
A federal judge on Dec. 26 granted the NLRB’s request for a preliminary injunction to keep the law from taking effect, meaning California cannot implement most of its provisions. In addition, the NLRB now has a quorum after the Senate confirmed two of President Trump’s nominees to the board.

Prominent Jan. 6 defendants plan to march to Capitol to mark 5 years since attack
The event is billed as a memorial march honoring Ashli Babbitt and four others who died on or after Jan. 6. Babbitt, a supporter of President Trump's, was shot and killed by a U.S. Capitol Police officer while a mob attempted to breach the Speaker's Lobby outside the House chamber nearly five years ago. Brian Sicknick, a U.S. Capitol Police officer who died after suffering two strokes after he defended the Capitol during the assault, is also set to be honored.

In Iran, the turmoil continues: Steve Bishop member of the executive Committee for the Defence of the Iranian People’s Rights
Protesters have pointed out the bitter irony that while they are asked to “take a war formation” and endure austerity, the budget for ideological military wings has reportedly seen massive increases. One representative from Dehloran recently asked President Pezeshkian in parliament if he could “hear the crushing sound of the people’s footsteps.” The demands of protesters have not been confined to the issues of wages and the economy but have become increasingly political, demanding regime change, with protests echoing to chants of “death to the dictator,” aimed at Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The regime’s response has been the familiar mix of threats and force. Judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei has warned of harsh punishments for “hoarding foreign currency,” while police have fired tear gas to disperse the biggest crowds seen since the protests following the death in custody of Mahsa Amini in September 2022. Hundreds of people were killed, more than 20,000 arrested, and several executed in connection with those demonstrations. The situation in Iran is being watched closely by both Israel and the United States, as the threat of further action against the regime from both looms. US President Donald Trump has recently threatened military action if Iran rebuilds its nuclear or missile programmes, warning he will “knock the hell out of them.” For the Iranian people 2026 sees yet more uncertainty, arising from the internal pressures of a collapsing economy and the external pressures of both international sanctions and the threat of further military intervention.

Demonstrations and protests continue in Iran
There are no exact figures, and no one knows how many people have been killed or injured, arrested, or kidnapped. What is clear, however, is that the people have gone beyond demonstrations and protests, and the movement has turned into an uprising. Likewise, their everyday demands about the rising cost of basic necessities have shifted into political demands, reflected in slogans such as “Down with the regime,” “Out, out, dictators,” “Women, life, freedom,” and many others.

Maybe. Maybe he was a mentally unwell person manipulated by greater forces get to rid of Abe. Most likely he was just a man with problems who sought out a more powerful individual to vent his frustrations at.

Wasn't it something religious?

>>2621972
I believe he was angry at Abe for having connections to the Unification Church. The shooters mother gave a lot of money to the church and he was angry about that. She seems to put the family into economic difficulties because of her donations. They were apparently fairly well off but ended having to rely on of one her brothers for financial support. He had a brother that was also very ill at one point who killed himself. I think the shooters also killed himself.

>>2621975
*shooters father killed himself

>>2621916
>Abe wasn't in office anymore.
>2 years after why bother
He was still active with various think tanks and was generally emblematic of a lot of life ruining shit happening over there.
>>2621975
That too

>>2621155
It was universal in bronze age religions.

>>2621192
The Talmud is from Late Antiquity, not the Bronze Age.

>evolution is when racism
not this shit again

>>2621192
The old testament is an iron age text, not a bronze age text, and the talmud is even newer.

There were racists before the theory of evolution. It's just after the theory came out people used it to jusify their beliefs liked they used the Bible in the past. Racists aren't logical people they will use anything to justify their beliefs.
