What does leftypol think of Larouche and his weird cult that still exists. His ideology was extremely schizophenic and he also had a huge influnce on the SDI program under Regan, with larouche claiming he created it.

Larouches have split into Xi simps and trump simps
>Although alot could be said about the similarities between LPAC and TLO/SI such as both claiming to represent the mission of the late Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., support for authoritarian leaders, opposition to climate change, etc. There are emerging differences and I wanted to list them. Here's my top ten feel free to add. Man114, can you pin?
>LPAC
-Promotes Trump as the new Larouche
-Largely focused on domestic politics
-Appeals to baser instincts as a recruitment strategy (hate, anger)
-Narrowly focused on recruiting one constituency: Trump's base (MAGA Republicans)
-Largely concentrated on the West Coast U.S. A.
-Cult of personality (Trump) is not their organization's leader
-Has a narrow domestic agenda: 2nd Trump term, Trump dominated GOP, Republicans in control of Congress
-Ashamed of LaRouche's socialist/Democratic Party past
-Outlet for Pro-Trump right-wing propaganda
-promotes "America First" LaRouchism as a national program

IVE heard of the SI I feel like LPAC is more faithful to larouche(since larouche wouldve probably done tgis) while SI is more closely aligned with ACP but with bigger deviations from Marxism
I have heard that Caleb maupin is the modern larouche which I actually agree with because they’re both weird in their views larp as labor Union bros and even down to the sex cults

>>2908065
Caleb isnt a fascist that beats CPUSA members doe

Larouche bump

>>2908019
I was looking at some MAGA infighting on X the other day (just randoms MAGA people) in the context of the Texas Senate race and this one Trump die-hard who supported the war with Iran was posting Promethean Action stuff, which is the rebranded LPAC. Wild. Apparently they think by Trump attacking Iran that he's eliminating British control over the Strait of Hormuz. BTW the weird left-coded LaRouche stuff tends to neglect how violently fascist and freakish they were in the 1980s, especially if you go back and read their literature from those days. They were ardent Cold Warriors and militarists dreaming up plans on how to maximize the death toll in a nuclear attack on the USSR but that was also combined with the international global development stuff.

Far-left party wins Berlin election, pledging to nationalise housing
With counting still going on late on Sunday, ⁠it was already clear that her party were set to displace Merz's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) from the mayor's office. "From today, ​we're changing Berlin together," she told celebrating party members in Berlin. The Left Party took 25.3%, ahead of the CDU on 19% and ​the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) on 16%. It also far outstripped the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) on 12.1%.

Putin’s party wins supermajority in Russia’s parliamentary election
Yabloko and the Communist Party, which has criticised some aspects of government policy but carefully avoided any criticism of Putin, said many of their observers were turned away from polling stations. The Communists made it into parliament with 13.8 percent of the vote, securing 40 Duma seats. The nationalist LDPR party won 25 seats and the New People party 20.

ICE Quietly Begins Firing Purge After Ignoring Everyone’s Red Flags
ICE officials struggled to process the massive surge of applicants after the Trump administration dangled a $50,000 signing bonus in front of people’s noses, hoping to entice Americans to join the legion of officers tearing families apart. In August 2025, an ICE whistleblower wrote to the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General warning that the hiring surge had “overwhelmed” the agency, and that applicants were being cleared for duty “without fingerprints, identity verification, or credit checks.”

US TV networks suspend White House pool coverage over Trump media ban
The ban left CNN unable to fulfil its duties as Monday’s White House designated pool broadcaster. A coalition of four other networks – ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC, who with CNN form part of a “pool” which take turns providing television coverage of presidential events – said they would not cover events in solidarity with CNN.

Russia: Anti-war communists reject elections amid war and political repression
As Russia holds parliamentary elections from 18 to 20 September, two smaller communist parties have rejected the electoral process, arguing that it offers no genuine alternative to the policies of the ruling capitalist class and the ongoing imperialist war in Ukraine. The Organization of Communists and the Russian Communist Party (Internationalists), both of which emerged from a split in the Russian Communist Workers' Party over its support for Russia's military intervention in Ukraine, are not participating in the elections. Unlike the parliamentary Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), both organizations oppose the imperialist war and reject the political course of the Russian government. In a statement issued on 10 September, the Organization of Communists denounced the electoral process as taking place amid mounting economic difficulties, political repression and restrictions on anti-war activity. It accused the ruling class of directing growing resources toward the war while working people face deteriorating living standards and shrinking democratic freedoms.

How Zohran Mamdani Helped Germany’s Left Party Win in Berlin
In Berlin’s state elections, Germany’s most leftwing party Die Linke has won a significant victory – the biggest in its recent history. It could also mean that the city gets its first mayor from the party since the fall of the Berlin wall. That’s partly due to the apparently infinite influence of New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, whose team helped supercharge the German left with the infectious positivity he’s world famous for. But it’s also down to policy – and in particular a long-standing pledge to expropriate housing from the private sector for public supply in a city where rents have soared by 70% in the last decade. Die Linke’s Elif Eralp, a human rights advocate sporting a ‘rent cap’ necklace, may well become Berlin’s first anti-capitalist mayor since reunification. The daughter of Turkish immigrants, she led the party to a clear victory in Berlin’s Sunday election, taking 26% Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

At this point yes. Few others are willing to fight off domestic tyranny (foreign is another matter) like they are. There's a lot of African countries who should be taking cues from Myanmar but aren't and keep letting juntas walk all over them.

plenty of democratic experimentation going on.

The Karenni KSCC and IEC are quite interesting as an attempt at civilian governance of armed actors.

Even KIO, which is a military government still relies heavily on civil society especially the baptist church for its legitimacy.

Now I just need an elite to sponsor me to gain power. I need help to trow down the bus some relatives to maximize my inheritance or gain total control of it. When do i get the call to blackmail and use Kompromat material for intelligence agencies, /siberia/?

It's time someone said it: Engels was dead wrong in "on the housing question", especially in a US context.

<During the 1870s, a major polemical debate unfolded in Germany’s worker/democratic press on the shortage of housing available to workers in major industrial centres. The influx and increase of the proletariat created a housing crisis. On June 26 1872, Engels contributed the first of a series of articles to the Volksstaat, entitled “The Housing Question.” The last appeared on February 22 1873. Engels’ central point was that the revolutionary class policy of the proletariat cannot be replaced by a policy of reforms, because "it is not that the solution of the housing question simultaneously solves the social question, but that only by the solution of the social question, that is, by the abolition of the capitalist mode of production, is the solution of the housing question made possible." The series criticizes Proudhonism (and petty-bourgeois socialism in general, including Lassalleanism). It also discusses things like the nature of the State, the dictatorship of the proletariat, the eradication of the antithesis between town and country, the solution of the agrarian problem, forms of the socialist reconstruction of society and the tasks of the proletarian party.


Engels argued against other socialists like Proudhon and Emil Sax who argued that widespread working class home ownership was the solution to the housing crisis. Engels actually classified Sax's scheme as "bourgeois socialism" because it aimed state intervention at ameliorating class consciousness without altering overall class relations that much, by "bourgeois-fying" the proletariat through home ownership.

Engels denies that workers even want land and also thinks that if workers owned houses the bourgeoisie will just lower their wages by the amount of the rent they no longer have to pay.

In his haste to prove these non revolutionary class reconciliation schemes can't work and only socialist revolution can actually resolve the contradictions of housing under capitalism. Perhaps that it true in the long run, but that may be centuries. Engels concedes, essentially, that working class homeowners, while not capitalist, are also non proletarian:

>Capital is the command over the unpaid labor of others. The house of the worker can only become capital therefore if he rents it to a third person an

Genuinely what would have even changed, internal policy- wise if he had taken power instead of Stalin?
How would the lives of ordinary soviet citizens and the ones in the (presumedly) soon to be liberated areas be different? How would the state function under his rule? What makes him so different that even to this day he has followers ready to die for his ideas? Sorry for being a theorylet, I just find the whole Trotsky-Stalin affair to be confusing and pointless.

>Leninist doctrine holds that a vanguard Party should assume state power and drive the population to economic development, and, by some miracle that is unexplained, to freedom and justice. It is an ideology that naturally appeals greatly to the radical intelligentsia, to whom it affords a justification for their role as state managers. I can’t see any reason — either in logic or history — to take it seriously. Libertarian socialism (including a substantial mainstream of Marxism) dismissed all of this with contempt, quite rightly.
