It’s a ‘Cover-Up,’ Says Khanna, If Official FBI Survivor Statements Not Included in Epstein File Dump
Files that were released and circulated on social media on Friday afternoon included multiple descriptions of sexual assault in which President Donald Trump was named. Those did not appear to be official 302 forms from an FBI interview with victims, which typically contain the name of the agent who conducted the interview, the date, and other information. The New York Times noted that “a significant number of uncorroborated tips” were included in the release.

Atlanta FBI boss reportedly ousted after questioning DoJ’s renewed interest in 2020 election
The agent, Paul W Brown, had expressed concerns around the unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud in Fulton county, which have been perpetuated by Donald Trump since he was defeated by Joe Biden in the 2020 election, according to an MS NOW report on Friday. Citing sources, MS NOW also reported that Brown refused to carry out searches and seizures of records connected to the election that Trump lost four years before winning a second presidency in 2024.

Labour Would Rather Lose Elections Than Give an Inch to the Left
Could the Labour party’s national executive committee (NEC) be poised to inflict the biggest act of self-harm since Sideshow Bob stepped on all those rakes? Allies of Keir Starmer (yes, apparently he still has them) are mulling over whether to block Manchester mayor Andy Burnham from being selected as the candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election. Because sure, on the one hand you’ve got one of the few Labour names that doesn’t make people spit after uttering it, that outpolls the party and could shave a few points off both Reform and the Greens. He could gun for the top job, and possibly spare Labour the electoral humiliation that’s currently pencilled in for 2029. But, on the other hand, a popular and well-regarded MP saving the party from political annihilation would mean Starmer and his merry band of control freaks would be out of power and influence. Hmm, tricky one that.

An organisation of workers’ autonomy? – Historical texts and current considerations (1)
The question of political organisation is pressing and we have to pose it precisely: how should a political organisation relate to the class movement? In order to approach this question we have a look at the organisational efforts that existed at a peak moment of class movement, the 1970s in Italy and try to draw conclusions from that. We find a seemingly contradictory situation. The two national extraparliamentarian organisations that were formed after the upheaval of 1968/69, namely Lotta Continua and Potere Operaio, entered a deep crisis exactly at a point when the class conflict intensified in the 1970s. Both organisations were questioned from within, primarily by local autonomous organisations of workers’ committeesPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

This, the average poster on this board fears admitting Stalin was right at the dinner table, let alone accepting they'd have to be every bit as "bad" as Stalin was… if not worse.

Every time an online-left+M-L pretends that the PRC has some >moral right to invade the ROC because of the traditions of dead generations, I laugh aloud. "this land was promised to us 70 years ago"
Taiwan is a strategically useful island. Don't pretend there's some righteous justification, or that you need a righteous justification, beyond "I think this Communist Party is progressive and the ROC is aligned with a capitalist imperial power. I believe invasion is a step forward on the path to a communist society."

>omg two communists in a vanguard party advocated for a vanguard party
o rly?

The difference has serious broader implications. Look at the PRC. AFAIK most schools of Trotskyism interpret the PRC as a failed revolution which will not be able to establish socialism. Obviously this theory will change how adherents interact with China and issues facing it - while an M-L is more likely to see the PRC as a communist project and support the state less critically.
This doesn't inherently make a Trotskyist in opposition to everything the PRC does; for a similar case, my org did not take a pro-Ukraine stance in the ongoing inter-imperialist proxy war.

are glowies even trying any more?

Also, you need industrial socialism to advance. Being stuck in agro is not a good thing. The direction of history is that you build industrial society with agro surplus and peasants stop being peasants. Same goes for proles. The goal of communism is to get out of "peasantry" and "proles" and become free people.

There is no Mao's 'agricultural socialism'.
Mao HAD to rely heavily on peasants because they were the overwhelming majority of Chinese people at that time.
Mao was not a vulgar stagist à la Kautsky. He was not going to sit and wait a million years until there is a big enough proletariat.

Once the PRC was established, he did everything to industrialise and thus proletarianize. It did not all work out perfectly, but he never enshrined agriculture and peasantry to the detriment of industry and proletariat. Never.

>>2672435
Came here to say essentially this. China industrialized hugely under Mao. Anyone claiming that China was simply "agricultural" during his era is being willfully dishonest.

It's impossible to really know. RIM is gone and the Haitian communist movement has been principally underground since before Duvalier. New Communist Party of Haiti (Marxist-Leninist) had a website that's technically still up, but they seem to have lost control of it and a lot of their articles have been replaced by scam gambling bullshit.

My bet is that these groups or successors to them do still exist in Haiti outside of Port-au-Prince. Historically communists have conducted their best work outside the capital. Port-au-Prince's extractive relationship with the rest of the country has historically colored what politics dominate there, and today the vestiges of the old neo-colonial state and the "gangs" (paramilitaries) dominate that niche.

>>2672287
That makes sense, everything I’ve heard about the civil war since the death of Moise (still incomprehensible to me) is basically limited to Port Au Prince and the rest of the country is more or less functioning as usual

>>2672111
It's true that Haiti had a revolutionnary movement that started before the French Revolution, so yes, in that view, saying that it's merely an extension is generally ignorant of historical reality.
But it's also obvious that the form the revolution took was inspired by the French one. For exemple the revolutionnaries argued in favor of equality between all men based on the Declaration of the right of Men and Citizen, that the national assembly has expicitly rejected for Black Haitians.
So, when they rebelled in 1791, the Haitians were not asking for independance, but an end to slavery. They supported Louis XVI, who they viewed a moderating force against the relatively harsher local governor. This believed this because Louis XVI has signed on and accepted many of the revolutionnary demands, including the creation of a constitutional monarchy, he was viewed at the time as a progressive monarch. (He was secrely conspiring to bring back absolutism, but Haitians didn't know this) This meant that they were backing the revolution, not the reaction. While when Louis XVI got his head chopped up, the white owners sided with the British against the Republic. Louverture did help the Spanish at the time tho, as he yet didn't trust the French.
But once the revolution in France radicalised further, with Robespierre and the Jacobins in charge, they abolished slavery and Louveture realigned himself with France and refused to proclaim the independance of Haiti, instead seeing himself as a french citizen. It's only in 1801, so at the start of Napoleon's consulate, that he declared independance.
Even then, he justified himself using the univerallist principles of the French revolution, and he obviously turned against it when it was going back against those ideals.
I don't get why you're quoting CLR James at me, his most famous book is called "The Black Jacobins" And if anything he criticises the race war representation of the conflict, and puts the revolution back in the context of the Atlantic and French revolutions. If anything, he argues that the Haitians better represented those ideals then the French did. Not that these ideals came from Haiti.

>>2672222
How am I moving the goalposts by pointing out the objective fact that if an organic slave revolt ever succeeds, the slaves first priority is to flee? That makes perfect sense from their perspective, you and I would do the exact same thing. The Zanj was a radically different conflict that arose during a period of extreme internal strife in the Abbasid caliphate. The revolt, like Hati was not started by the slaves themselves but by an outsider, in the Zanj's case, a popular religious preacher who took advantage of the anarchy. He and his followers attacked individual slave estates, freed the slaves, and presented themselves as religious liberators, gradually freeing most of the slaves from the marshes and forming an Army. The Zanj revolt was one of many crises the Abbasids were dealing with, including the loss of Egypt to the Tulunids and Kharijite and Shia uprisings. The caliphate was fighting on every front. Only when al-Muwaffaq stabilized the army and re-centralized authority in the 880s did the Abbasids finally crush the rebellion.

And you’re right, I haven’t read much about Haiti. My only frame of reference is this military history book, and I would argue that it’s more relevant than 99% of post-colonial literature.

emigration is immigration from the other perspective, and historically AES nations used "strong borders" to both keep people in and to keep people out. The US spends billionson arming a bunch of thugs who rape women and smuggle guns/drugs and call that "strong borders" even though it doesn't actually work in practice and most cases of illegal immigration are people flying over and then overstaying a visa.
