Any communist who does not hate the police, hate them as much as or more than the bourgeoisie itself is not to be trusted. The pig in uniform is not merely a servant of capital; he is a traitor to his own class. The capitalist exploits you openly, extracts your surplus value, for profit. The cop, by contrast, is a class collaborator who has traded the collective self‑interest of the working class for the individual power of a badge. He is the armed wing of the bourgeois order, the thug who enforces contracts, breaks strikes, and puts a bullet in the back of any worker who dares to resist. They are the slave catchers that put the bodies that exist outside of wage labor behind the walls of slavery.

This makes the cop more disgusting than the boss. The boss at least performs a material function, the organization of production, however exploitative. The cop performs a purely repressive function. He adds no value. He creates no wealth. He exists solely to protect the property relations that the bourgeoisie has stolen. He is the parasite on the parasite.

The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the entire alphabet of federal law enforcement are not mere obstacles to liberation. They are the central nervous system of the counter‑insurgency apparatus that has been built to suppress the American working class from inception. The FBI's COINTELPRO program did not just spy on the Black Panthers; it murdered them, framed them, and destroyed their families. The FBI's anti communist division is very likely tied to the CIA. The DHS did not just deport immigrants in history; it built and continues to build a surveillance architecture that tracks every phone call, every text message, every credit card swipe of every American who has ever uttered a word against the state. These are domestic occupation forces, deployed against the very people they pretend to serve.

The cop on the corner is not a public servant. He is a soldier in a low‑intensity war against the poor, the Black, the brown, the immigrant, the leftist, the mentally ill, the homeless. He is trained to see the working class as the enemy. His job is to manage the "disorder" that capitalism inevitably produces, the hunger, the addiction, the rage, the desperation. And when he cannot manage it, he kills it.

So no, we do not "reform" the police. We do not "defund" them in the liberal sense. We abolish them. Fuck every cop, and every leftist that doesn't get down with this iPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Realistically the USA is easily within the top ten most murderous regimes in all human history. Impossible to know for sure since we only have estimates but on the lower end it's millions murdered and that number jumps up when you include the resulting starvation caused from their many bombing campaigns. A the very least they directly mass murdered Amerindians, Koreans, Vietnamese and Cambodians. And even when they don't kill people themselves they still directly supported several genocidal regimes around the world such as in Indonesia, Guatemala and Palestine. If you include all the other various military dictatorships they have also directly supported then their kill count gets even higher.

>>2836685

Oh. you actually think North Korea's the good guy? Mate, if that shithole had even half the success of the US or UK, it'd be thousands of times more brutal and repressive. You're delusional. go have a cuppa and stop embarrassing yourself.

>>2836696
>think North Korea's the good guy?
Doesn't matter if you think the government is good or not, dropping that amount of bombs indiscriminately and unnecessarily killing millions civilians was mass murder.
>You're delusional.
What? You didn't even dispute anything I said, you only tried to excuse the killings. My assessment is fundamentally correct. No matter their pretend motivations about "freedom" or whatever buzzwords they use as excuse, America and it's military dictatorship puppets have killed millions of people during the 20th century. That objectively makes it one of the most deadly regimes in human history. Considering they are still one of the most powerful countries in the world there is still the real possibility they will reach number one eventually.

I'm a self-prescribed democratic socialist who has been ultra-leftist curious and been following the whole Juche/anarchist/Maoist scene for a bit, and I'm genuinely trying to understand something before supporting them. People keep talking about a "disorganized vanguard" or "leaderless resistance" but how does that actually work in practice? Like, who makes decisions when something happens? Who calls off an action? Who coordinates between different groups?

I've seen references to "beta tests" and people moving between cities, but no one ever says who's organizing the logistics. Is it just loose networks of people who know each other from previous actions? Or are there specific collectives or hubs that people should be aware of, for safety reasons, obviously? Also, what's the deal with the Juche tag specifically? Is it just a vibe or are there actual reading groups, signal chats, etc.? Are you guys represnting a formal organization that commits to political action?

Not trying to start drama. Just trying to map things out so I know who to avoid or who to listen to.

juche isnt real. its just a meme that's being spread on here by trolls using LLMs. they thought it would be hilarious if they could hoodwink anons on here into believing theres little juche sects apread around the US.

>>2838159
>>those would be three different sceneshose would be three different scenes

Thats whats confusing, why do we identify individuals and find people who can navigate between all 3? why would someone do this? why would someone be in an ML party, anarchist collectives, demsoc organizations, juche reading groups, anarchist reading groups, all at once unless they were like some foreign glowie looking to be tied into every american dissident movement? Yeah but i found out that they united under a code during occupy and they all signed off and distributed some point of solidarity between all on the revolutionary left this is basically what later became antifa.


> I would honestly be uncomfortable messing with foreign state (NK) actors in any case because they have a very specific agenda and attract counter intelligence services


You dont have to do that to get counter inteligence all you have to do is piss of the american federal government, people dont know how deep it is rigged against them. the army intelligence units and pentagon actively domestically spy on anarchists.


>>2838164

it might be a troll but how come there looks like theres so much truth to it? how come the doxxed individuals here actually lead me back to people who seem to be people who grift between anarchism, maoism and juche? its just a strange rabbit hole man. what about the warehouse poem that predicted the LA worker snapping a month before it happened? is this just coicidence or idk? is it actually possible north korea would have support for leftists in the usa or is that just a cia thing?

>>2838168

The arrest records, the death records, the grift between anarcho and juche all match a lot of the people these trolls post so im just wondering, even if this is a troll, what in the fuck is this schizo tendency?

>>2838164

and why do some of them seem different? the writing style sometimes appears as if they run spam bots here, then the writing style sometimes seems real and human? what about all the anti-juche posts? did anyone with juche tag themselves ever post in support of meth or violent rage or any of that? they seemed more subtle, but the conspiracy threads seemed like absolute trolls you are right. but how is so much niche truth buried into it? how are the names, the arrests, the deaths and the grifts all matching the troll? its strange. if the far right /pol/ was proven to be grounds for intelligence assets all over the globe, then the leftist version has to have some of its own, REAL, strange things too, right?

food for thought

the far right and cia backed anarchists and maoists during the years of lead, because theyre violence created a stronge reactionary base among citizens

quite possible anarchists,maoists, and jucheists arent a troll but a glow operation to employ a strategy of tension and make communists look like a shady force of hateful people

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2026/06/afghanistan-new-code-enabling-child-marriage-compounds-dismal-situation-for-womens-and-girls-rights/

>A new decree from the Taliban enabling child marriage is the latest salvo in an ongoing assault on the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan, Amnesty International said in a new legal analysis.


>The Decree No. 18 “Code on Judicial Separation of Spouses”, published by the Taliban in an official gazette on 14 May 2026, codifies the circumstances under which women and girls may seek separation from marriages. It includes provisions that uphold marriages arranged during childhood and restrict women’s and girls’ ability to challenge or leave such unions.


>Prior to August 2021, Afghanistan’s civil code set the legal marriage age for girls at 16, while marriages involving girls under the age of 15 were criminalized under the 2009 Elimination of Violence Against Women (EVAW) law. Afghanistan also had legal and institutional mechanisms aimed at addressing violence and discrimination against women and girls, including family courts, specialized units within the Attorney General’s Office and Ministry of Interior, and a high-level commission tasked with addressing violence against women, child marriage, and family separation matters.


>While these protections were often inconsistently implemented and significant barriers remained, they nonetheless provided women and girls with some legal avenues for protection and access to justice. Today, these laws and institutional structures have been dismantled by the Taliban and replaced with deeply discriminatory and repressive systems that further entrench gender inequality and restrict women’s rights and autonomy.

It really wasn't. As others have pointed out, child rape in other forms (especially pederastry) was widespread under that government. It was also obscenely corrupt, completely incompetent, not remotely sovereign, and composed of some of the most viscious criminals and warlords in the world. It had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. At the very least with it gone the people of Afghanistan (which like it or not includes the Taliban) are free to determine their affairs for themselves.

capitalism is an austerity system designed to keep the majority's wealth and health decreasing… whether you follow tony robbins (fraud) or warren buffetts (real deal) advice probably matters, but economic success is not the only measure of success. It's a pretty relative concept. Someone can have a disability or disadvantage and still succeed leaps and bounds beyond what they thought THEY could achieve. It's a personal choice what one considers success for themselves. Perhaps your "dipshit" father considered success to be having successful children, so he failed at trying to advise you. Perhaps you consider success to be sharing your thoughts publicly to people because it's what you have found to be the truth. Genuine success and failure will always be what one judges for themselves. The idea that a comfortable life thanks to economic security is success is a valid one, and so are all the others that diametrically oppose that one. I agree that such a definition of success needs to acknowledge the reality of people's suffering, of the limitations of reality. Delusion should be stripped away, but one single definition of success is delusional too, and so is the idea that one can't succeed in any capacity.

It’s manipulated by those who have power and use the fear mechanism in us to make us feel inadequate. I am a firm believer that at points in our lives we are all manipulated by this BS (Tony Robbin’s, David De Angelo, Scott Galloway, etc. — just to name a few). The idea is to break away from it. Parents especially do this. John Liste, the man who murdered his family in 1971 had a horrible mother who berated him. The secret is to break away from these people before you inside. I don’t believe John would have done this had his mother not been living with the family.

A common criticism that I see is that capitalism is hyper adaptable to most circumstances and that it can't even really be fully defeated at all, especially from those who shill for it. However, liberalism and it's various forms of it has only been around for like 500 years. The previous order of despotism, empire and feudalism were around for much longer. While it's ability to subsumed criticism of itself into the system is potent, I am not exactly sure if capitalism is all that durable? Is this a weird thing to think?

OP was using terms like "despotism" and "liberalism". I was more so refering to how liberal "democracies" decay into fascism because of the capitalist mode of production.

>>2810614
I was trying to convey the incestuous god-king variations of totalitarianism. I know that fascism is kind of like it but I think it has a different sort of appeal? IDK, people do worship Trump after all

>>2810614
OP was probably making a naive comparison, but despotism did usually lead towards idiosyncratic economic relations, that i would call palatial in a broad sense. Even in the presence of a state and bureaucracy, it often caused the personal property of the despot to be at least of equal importance in financing warfare and public investment, which can still be seen in later pre-modern autocracies like the Byzantine Empire. Roman imperium and similar forms of overlordship were also deeply economical and may be seen as precursors to later feudalist modes of distribution.

>>2810460
I actually have a magic 3rd eye that lets me read the posts on here and I can immediately tell if someone has read Marx or has only consumed breadtube

Cutrone likes to say that his mentor Moishe Postone warned that capitalism might go through cycles of more decentralized markets and then more state control (e.g. new deal). I think Cutrone speculates why there's so many MLs running around now is people are tired of the neoliberal moment and want to return to a strong state directed economy. But people in the new deal era had the opposite complaint about the controlling state and wanted more freedom so neoliberalism and hippie anarchist trends started looking better. So this cycle could be a way to adapt to these changing preferences or moods.

>I am not exactly sure if capitalism is all that durable? Is this a weird thing to think?

Maybe depends on if you think "AES" states were ruptures in capitalism like early liberal movements that failed or were crushed by feudalism or if you think they were just bourgeois revolutions in red garb. Anyway, industrial society moves at lightning speed compared to the snail pace of slave and feudal societies, so even if capitalism did seem stable for a few years I wouldn't count on it long term, just because it's so destructive and sucks up so many resources and introduces new disruptive technologies, no one saw the USSR collapsing, there could be a socialist revolution or a nuclear war next year for all we know. Everything solid melts into air and all that.

I've recently read Mao's "On Contradictions" and "On Practice", but I don't really understand how his materialist view actually holds up to reality.

From my understanding, he posits the following:
>The world is objective and exists independently of the mind.
>Everything which exists is a unity of opposing forces.
>These forces influence the unity over time and produce qualitative change once enough quantitative tensions build up.
>Some of these "contradictions" are fundamentally unstable and cannot be mitigated (antagonistic contradictions), whilst some of these can be maintained with enough mitigation and can be resolved (non-antagonistic).
>Contradictions are furthermore hierarchical, as they rely on one another. Thus, one of the contradictions in any unity is the primary one, whilst the others are secondary.

This makes sense to me for social dispositions where two parties face one another, like a war, for example. Fundamentally, any conflict is going to be about multiple individuals facing one another, with a permanent instability resolving itself only in a qualitatively different state than it began. This makes sense.
However, I don't see how this can be applied to anything other than social conflict. How can you say that a tree is a unity of opposite forces? There are no "opposite" forces internal to a tree. There are only different directions which the tree follows in relation to its exterior elements (how much wind there is, how much food its roots can gather, how much sun it photosynthesizes, etc.). Saying that the tree has inner conflicting tendencies appears to me as merely rhetorical arguments, such as that it is in-between "life and death," or that it lies between "growth and stagnation." These idioms are correct, but they are abstract and aren't representative of the real.

Furthermore, albeit this is more abstract, I don't really see how Mao can assert that there is a hierarchy in the contradictions. Some contradictions do depend on one another, but believing that some are antagonistic and some aren't looks more politically motivated than scientific.

Does any Maoist have an explanation?

Except Engels already laid the groundwork by focusing on extending dialectics to nature. What we call dialectical materialism is just his thought systematized. It’s fundamentally different than hismat, which focuses on social agents rather than immutable laws of nature.

>sophistry

It’s not. They don’t oppose one another, they’re just complementary and make the tree tend towards different directions. But thanks for confirming that contradictions are essentially just inner mechanisms that make the tree develop internally

>>2834971
>How can you say that a tree is a unity of opposite forces?

<"Life is the mode of existence of protein bodies, the essential element of which consists in continual metabolic interchange with the natural environment."

<Engels, (Dialectics of Nature)

The trees internal opposition is not a metaphor but a metabolic process. Cell division vs cell death or building up vs breaking down. These are not external forces (wind, sun) but the organisms own internal mode of functioning. In this sense the dialectical description captures something real.

a tree is a multicellular organism but it is necessarily composed of unicellular structures


>>2837775
"Dialectical materialism" in Soviet politics was sophistry meant to deflect and defuse criticism of the state. All the failures and contradictions of AES can be framed as 'dialectical' and thus immune from critique. And if you disagree, being 'undialectical' is grounds for dismissal.

That's the real answer to OP's question. Dialectical materialism has its place in Marxist political economy, and you can cynically abuse the concept in day-to-day political debates. Applying it anywhere outside of those two things is just nonsense, as most of this thread shows.

You keep hearing the word "adventurism" thrown around, usually by leftists who happen to be embedded in counter‑insurgency operations disguised as communist parties. So what does it actually mean? In their mouths, it means any action that might upset their ability to sit at the table with the oppressor. They've taken a term that once had strategic meaning, actions detached from mass conditions and turned it into a club to beat anyone who steps outside the revisionist party line.

Ever since the Soviet reforms and the betrayal of the Comintern under Khrushchev, most communist parties internationally have become class enemies. Not just in the US. Globally. The ones that haven't accepted Maoism, or some form of decentralized, decolonial struggle, are just state‑capitalist NGOs with red aesthetics. They are not a vanguard, nor will they ever be. Nearly every organization exists as a fire extinguisher for the working class insurrection.

Look at India. The Communist Party of India calls the Naxalites adventurist. They actually said, "Make no mistake, anti‑revisionist Maoism is an anarchist force, not a Leninist one." They don't know what the word means. They've hollowed it out. To them, "adventurist" means any action that might make the oppressor uncomfortable enough to withdraw an invitation to sit at their table. The population could be ready to drag the rich out of their cars, and these revisionists would call a piece of anti‑politician graffiti "adventurism."

That's counter‑insurgency, and if you are ok with people who hold your beliefs doing counter-insurgency, then you aren't ready for revolutionary situations. In revolution enemies need to be cleared out of the way, including ones who appear to be on your side. That's what it looks like. Never forget that communist parties have violently suppressed workers insurrections. They've pulled the trigger. They've called the cops. They've done the state's dirty work while wearing a hammer a sickle. Am I talking about the soviets? Not at all. Go look into the socialist mayors, and revisionists that were sending police bullets on workers insurrectionists during the years of lead.

So we have enemies within. They need to be rendered useless. Destroyed. Not debated, not "won over" they must be neutralized. The anarchists and Maoists in Greece showed the KKE what happens when this battle gets physical. And guess what? The revisionists got bodied. Because they ain't about shit. They fPost too long.

Why do mods let this spam stay up?
Are they doing this intentionally?
It's clearly ChatGPT between two "personas". One advocating US imperialism and the DSA. The other advocating everything the US represses in some frankenstein patchwork ideology (anarcho-juche-Maoist-whateverist).
I figured the KingLear spam would get boring, especially since it was so badly prompt engineered and the output looked like shit.
But it would be concerning if mods keeps this up (either doing it to slide (?) or not deleting it like gore, CP, any other spam).
Especially eerie is the photos of real individuals attached which looks like it comes from police informants or seized smartphones.

No veo una promocion de la lucha armada, es pura celebracion de los derechos legales. Oigan, no todas las naciones o pueblos han renunciado a las conexiones culturales de sus trabajadores con las armas. Saber usar armas, saber construir la autosuficiencia, es una postura de defensa propia para un mundo con mas crimen y escasez de recursos que ya se nos viene encima. No entiendo por que los fedes gringos se ponen tan nerviosos.

Y aclaro algo, wey cuando la izquierda no estaba armada, era todo lo contrario al aventurismo. Porque el trabajador gringo SI esta armado. La base trabajadora tiene armas, es parte de su cultura y su realidad. Entonces que la izquierda no estuviera armada no era prudencia, era ir atrasados, desconectados de la base. Eso si era lagrimear, no hacer la tarea. Aqui lo unico que veo es promocion de la verdadera autosuficiencia de la raza trabajadora, para defender familias y seres humanos.

He's probably responding to a fed or some snitch, they're lying to you about North Korea but these tours are real. I've met plenty of anarchists and socialists in Spain who've been on those tours. It's not some big conspiracy of espionage it's just internationalism in action. Anarchists are leftists in the class struggle like the rest of us, always looking to expand their minds, build connections, and find common ground. That's why they'd fly to North Korea to see for themselves and talk with people. The idea that an anarchist would take orders from the CIA or the neoliberal order, and refuse a comrade's outstretched hand to come visit other human beings, is absurd and shows only a cop-level understanding of the brain of an anarchist.

This really only blows the minds of feds or people brand new to leftism. Anarchists travel constantly, and they'll visit communist nations just like any other nation. An eco-anarchist was on the run from the feds in the 90s and 2000s for a string of sabotage acts, Where do you think he fled? Not to a US ally, that's for sure.

There are many groups doing this internationalist work quietly, and some even run leftist study programs that can get you into Kim Il Sung University. The KFA is the biggest, most open leftist organization running these tours. Don't let the feds gaslight you, yeah the tours are real, and they're open to any serious leftist that plugs in, but they're not some organized conspiracy where you become some super-meth korean soldier.


>>The Korean Friendship Association (KFA) is a Spain-based organization that has run solidarity tours to North Korea for over two decades. They specifically arrange "travel delegations" for members, offering a level of access that goes far beyond a standard guided sightseeing trip. The KFA operates in 120 countries and has official delegates in 34 countries. They don't just show you the monuments; they connect you with the people and the party. A Dutch documentary, "Friends of Kim," chronicles one such 12-day tour

It is definitely real. The KFA took so many anarchists to meet with Workers Party officials one year that the CIA had to use one of their NGOs to send one of their own anarchist assets to North Korea. After he came back, he wrote "The Opposite of Freedom" to try and covertly discredit all the leftists and anarchists who were coming back from their genuine, non CIA-sponsored trips as supporters of the DPRK

>>But as an anarchist, why visit this graveyard of freedom?
>>as an anarchist


I've been turning this over in my head for a while, and I just can't shake the feeling that something is deeply wrong with this Pierre Garine. The account that's been passed around as a genuine, first-hand testimony might just be another one of the pieces of propaganda to come out of the US intelligence apparatus, looking to counter anarchist support for north korea.

For sure, any comrade with a functioning bullshit detector should treat "Pierre Garine" with the utmost suspicion.

>>The article was published in the Fall of 2013 for the Fifth Estate (#390). This was a crucial moment. Kim Jong Il had just died. A new, younger leader was at the helm. Global capitalism was still reeling from the 2008 crisis. A wave of anti-capitalist curiosity was rising, and with it, a fresh interest in the world's remaining actually existing socialist states from all left tendencies.


Certain people with the institute for anarchist studies visit Pyongyang for a large anti-imperialist celebration / rally and meetings with Kim Il Sung university students. So, right when Western anarchists might have started to look at the DPRK with an open mind the way they did Cuba, "Pierre Garine" appears out of thin air to deliver a message of "Don't bother. It's all a sad, weird, oppressive nightmare.".

Read the piece. Seriously, read it. It’s devoid of any warmth, curiosity, or solidarity. The very first line is "The very mention of the country’s name and a blizzard of buzzwords are released: Cult of Personality, Mass starvation, Nuclear-armed, Thought Control…". I have read thousands of Anarchist texts across multiple tendencies and eras, and this does not sound like an anarchist critique, it sounds like a cop. The whole article is a list of curated "buzzwords," thrown in with some truthful anarchist history, not a story of human experience. It reads like a script written for a covert purpose, rather than a genuine reflection of a journey from an anarchist.

This is absolutely related to the empire dying. It's pretty telling that black people are so sick of chud shit they're getting in their faces about it, even though they likely know Karmelo wasn't by any means in the right.
2020 summer of Floyd was the only time the ruling class felt scared in a century. And it sure wasn't communists getting violent, it was black lumpen and the occasional anarchist (and I say this as an anarchist hater)

>This is absolutely related to the empire dying
Seems pretty irrelevant to me
>It's pretty telling that black people are so sick of chud shit they're getting in their faces about it
I don’t think this incident is related to that at all

>I point out the stuff about Frisco because I don't think it's really "about" the stabbing
It isn't, the stabbing is more about the race of the perpetrator and the victim. It isn't just Frisco, if this happened in any town in the US the same reaction would have occurred. I am telling you now, if Karmelo was Hispanic or even Indian, the reaction wouldn't have been this explosive. The easiest wound to exploit and let explode is anything to do with black and white conflict

>I don’t think this incident is related to that at all
It is because they are connected to an increasing trend and showcasing the empire's increasing decay.
