Even Engels in texts like the housing question says that a wage-worker who owns a house is neither a proletarian nor a capitalist i.e. haute bourgeois. Now what is in the middle of the proletariat and the haute bourgeoisie?

petit borg? owns property but still has to work. mortgage and property tax probably complicates that when your only income is labor

>>2100062
and is real estate still productive property if it is only reproducing the worker by giving them a place to sleep?

>>2100046
OK, sure a prole is petit bourgeois if he owns a home. The real question is why wouldn't he, given the opportunity, pay off a mortgage and escape the rentiers? He still has to pay (a much lower) property tax even after escaping the rentier class, so in a way, they still have to pay rent to the government in the form of a property tax. No prole will continue to rent given the opportunity to own, because that is self defeating. Engels himself was bourgeois and the emphasis should be on political activity, rather than class immobility as a form of purity fetish. One may rent a home but have been able to save due to having above subsistence wages. I suppose being able to save also makes one a petit bourgeois or labor aristocrat since the proletariat is supposed to be without savings, and live off a subsistence wage. Well one ought not reproletarianize oneself for the sake of purity fetishism, if one can help it. And if one saves enough to buy a house, then one ought to do so.

what about having a 401K is that productive property? does it make you a petit borg?

In Blow to Open Internet, Federal Appeals Strikes Down Biden FCC's Net Neutrality Rules
Citing last year's U.S. Supreme Court decision that stripped federal agencies of their regulatory powers, an all-Republican panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit on Thursday ruled that the Federal Communications Commission lacks the authority to reinstate net neutrality rules.

Police identify driver of exploded Tesla Cybertruck as US Army soldier
Authorities believe Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active-duty Army soldier from Colorado Springs, was inside the vehicle when gasoline canisters and large firework mortars in the truck bed exploded and that he acted alone. The body was burned beyond recognition and investigators were awaiting confirmation from DNA evidence and medical records.

FBI says driver in New Orleans rampage acted alone and was ‘100%' inspired by Islamic State group
The FBI also revealed that the driver, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an American citizen from Texas, posted five videos on his Facebook account in the hours before the attack in which he proclaimed his support for the militant group and previewed the violence that he would soon unleash in the famed French Quarter district.

66th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution: Statement by the European Communist Action
The European Communist Action salutes the heroic Cuban people and the Communist Party of Cuba on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban revolution, the first socialist revolution in the Americas, which is an inspiration and shining example for the working peoples of the world that, through their struggle, they have the power to overthrow capitalist barbarity. Since the overthrow of the Batista tyranny, the route taken by Cuban revolutionaries has not been an easy one; they stood up against imperialism, repelled invasions, survived imperialist interventions and attacks and resisted the criminal economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States for more than 60 years. The determined and long-standing resistance of the Cuban people is a response to the barbaric aggression against Cuba, with the inclusion of the country in the US’ unacceptable and arbitrary list of “states sponsoring terrorism” among others. Despite the imperialist efforts to suffocate the island, the firm decision that the Cuban people have made with the revolution and the course of socialist construction have led them to achievements in important aspects of their lives, including health, education, science, culture and sports. Despite limited resources, Cuba has not hesitated to extend its fraternal hand and put its medical and educational achievements at the service of peoples as an example of internationalism. Loyal to the historical legacy of Fidel, the Communist Party of Cuba is today faced with serious adversities.

The Forgotten Opposition: Bangladesh’s Left in the Shadow of Major Parties
Bangladesh’s political landscape has long been dominated by the fierce rivalry between the AL and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), leaving little room for other voices. Yet the country’s leftist political groups, though smaller in size and influence, have remained steadfast in their advocacy for justice, equality, and the rights of ordinary citizens. Over the past 15 years under the AL’s autocratic rule, many leftist activists have consistentlPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>My interest in the topic stems from years of practicing and teaching criminal law. Legal scholars generally hate accomplice liability, because it fails to meet the classic elements of criminal law. Accomplice cases leave open questions: What does it mean to help another person commit a crime? Does a defendant have to have wanted the crime to happen, or can willfully ignoring a problem count? What if the helper wished a crime would take place—and tried hard to make it happen—but the assistance they offered failed to make a difference?
…
>The breadth of "complicity" is disconcerting. The term is used to describe the actions of incontrovertible harmdoers—the corporations who dump toxic chemicals, the managers who cover up acts by sexual predators. But complicit is also how we might describe an influencer who fails to post in solidarity about a global injustice, or a neighbor who votes differently than we do in a contentious election. “Silence is complicity” is an omnipresent refrain across email signatures and social media. It is a phrase that begs the question: Is silence, really, enough to make someone complicit?

On those time scales the soviet stuff they are still using will have mostly evaporated and there are only so many shells they can buy from NK and barrels or vehicles left in inventory, I'm not sure they'll be able to maintain that artillery firing as much or even keep advancing with the current (glacial) pace. I also don't quite see them crossing the Dniepr (if they come to it), they didn't demonstrate a lot of skill at amphibious operations, and most of their landing crafts are at the bottom of the sea with it being closed by Turkey. I guess Russia could try cut their losses and negotiate to keep Donetsk and Luhansk but I doubt Ukraine will be ready to go for it before a year or two, they're not exhausted enough yet.

FBI says it foiled possible attack against pro-Israel group Aipac
Officers arrested Forrest Kendall Pemberton after he allegedly travelled to the city of Plantation in Florida to scout the local offices of the America Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) and tried to return later with “concealed” firearms. He is now facing federal charges of stalking and is accused of traveling to the organization’s offices with the intention of “killing, injuring, harassing, and intimidating” people working there.

Resilience and Mobilization in Kobanê: MLKP
Today, Kobanê‘s people, united in solidarity, managed to meet almost all their basic needs thanks to collective efforts. The common goal? To respond to the call of mobilization with a spirit of unity. Everyone tries to join. On November 27, the fascist HTŞ, trained and armed by the Turkish colonial state and imperialist powers, launched a military campaign. Their initial attacks against the Baath regime quickly escalated. The ultimate target? The people of Şehba and Til Rifat. After the invasion of Afrin, Erdoğan’s fascist chief regime organized armed groups to capture these areas, pushing the already displaced into even more dangerous situations. But the people resisted—both the QSD and fighters from Afrin stopped the genocidal attacks.

How Violent Neo-Nazis Resurfaced in Wartime Russia
It seemed that, in the new reality, the neo-Nazi street subculture had irreversibly faded into the past. Nazi skinheads hadn’t entirely vanished but had dwindled into a barely noticeable subculture. Occasionally, members would carry out attacks and end up imprisoned — pervasive video surveillance and law enforcement attention limited their growth potential. By the early 2020s, however, the far-right camp as a whole was in crisis. An informal ban on inciting ethnic hatred in the media had undermined their primary mobilization resource, leaving them to exist on the fringes of the extraparliamentary political field, where the left-leaning liberal opposition held a dominant role. The war with Ukraine fundamentally altered the situation. From the start of the conflict, nationalist groups loyal to the state became the only political faction to support the “special military operation” and actively engage in wartime propaganda. At that point, the authorities were in urgent need of grassroots support, and the far-right received resources previously inaccessible to them, primarily in the media sphere. State media began publishing remarks by far-right speakers alongside other war supporters, inviting them on television and apparently providing budgets for war propaganda. As a result, during the first year of the war, the audiences for their Telegram channels (this app had become the main information platform under war and censorship conPost too long.

THE OFFICIAL KING LEAR 2025 PREDICTIONS (Part 1):

1) Trump will fully implement PROJECT 2025 and use the INSURECTION ACT to declare MARTIAL LAW on day one of his presidency and send TANKS IN THE STREETS of every major City in order to round up all Leftists (The Republican Congress will pass a law which will have the CPUSA, DSA, Green Party, PSL, etc. all be banned and declared Terrorist organizations and have all their members be arrested, with every Republican and half the Democrats voting for this), Undocumented Immigrants, Muslims, Feminists, LGBTQIA+ (The Supreme Court will strike down the Gay Marriage and Sodomy rulings, so every Red State will outlaw Gay Marriage, Homosexuality, and Transgenders, with the Congress eventually passing a federal law doing this on a mostly Party line vote), Union Workers, Homeless People, etc, and throw them in CONCENTRATION CAMPS, and Trump will force the Senate Republicans to abolish the Filibuster so they can pass a National Six-Week Abortion Ban, Ban Labor Unions, Outlaw Communism, Anarchism, Socialism, Islam, Atheism, Homosexuality, Transgenders, Gay Marriage, Ban the teaching of Evolution and the Big Bang Theory, Ban all Vaccines, Abolish Section 230 in order to ban all Social Media, Abolish Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment Insurance, and Food Stamps, and Abolish the Income Tax and replace it with a 20% Tariff on all imported goods, 😂🤣🤢🤮!

2) Trump will begin a massive Air Campaign on Iran in which U$ B-2 Stealth Bombers dropping Smart Bombs (including Bunker Busters) combined with JASSMs launched by B-52 and B-1 Bombers and Tomahawk Cruise Missiles launched by Destroyers, Cruisers, and Submarines, will destroy all Iranian Air Bases, MRBM/SRBM launchers, SAM Sites, Naval Bases, Nuclear Facilities, and Command and Control sites (including decapitation strikes on Irans entire Political/Military leadership using Bunker Busters dropped by B-2 Stealth Bombers), followed by a Full-blown U$ Ground Invasion coordinated with Kurdish, Arab, Balochi, and Azeri ethnic separatist uprisings, the last of which will include a joint Turkish/Azerbaijani invasion of Iranian Azerbaijan, will overthrow the “Islamic Republic of Iran”, with Iran Balkanized on Ethnic lines, with Iranian Azerbaijan annexed by Azerbaijan, a Independent Iranian Kurdistan (which will unite with the autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan region to create a independent “Republic of Kurdistan” ruled by the Pro-U$/Zionist/Turkish Barzani faPost too long.

4) Trump will successfully threaten Panama with an Invasion if they don’t give the U$ full control of the Panama Canal, thus leaving Panama with no choice but to give the Canal back to the U$, while he will initiate a campaign of Drone strikes and special forces operations against the imaginary “Mexican Cartel” threat, which will escalate into a U$ occupation of Northern Mexico, with Mexico doing nothing to stop this due to their weak military and the fact that they are a comparator U$ puppet state, and CIA-backed Coups will overthrow all the Leftist governments of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia, and north of the U$ border the landslide election of the Conservative Party in Canada will lead to them holding a referendum on whether to be annexed by the U$ and become its 51st State (this was done on Trumps orders, who threatened to end all Trade Relations with Canada if they refused), which sparks a massive Leftist uprising in French-majority Quebec, but Annexation wins a narrow majority anyway due to its massive support amongst Anglo-Canadians (English-speaking Canadians of European ancestry that are essentially the same as U$ Whites) and the Hindu Nationalist Indian Diaspora (these people are rabid Islamophobic Zionist Fascists who worship Trump as a reincarnation of Vishnu), with the US congress voting to make Canada U$ State and Canada ceasing to exist as an independent country by the middle of 2025, 😂🤣🤢🤮!

5) The 20% U$ Tariff on all imported goods will collapse the European Economy which combined with the massive renewed Refugee crisis causes by the U$ Invasion of Iran and the Zionist Annexation of the West Bank and Gaza, will cause Right-wing Populist/Crypto-Fascists to take power throughout Europe, with the AFD winning in Germany and the National Rally winning in France, who will proceed to implement massive Austerity in order to eliminate the Social Safety net, throw all Muslims in Concentration Camps, and begin the process of ending Social Progressivism in Europe by proposing to ban Abortion, Birth Control, and LGBTQIA+ in order to raise White European Birth Rates, thus making it more obvious then ever that the EU is essentially a weak federation of U$/Zionist Vassal States, 😂🤣🤢🤮!
