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

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.

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.

I won’t concede your “foreigners in general are more likely to rape” racist formulation, because the current evidence base does not support treating that as a universal, measured individual-level rate. The Migration Observatory’s August 2026 review explicitly says actual offending rates by group are unknown and that there is no published immigration-status breakdown for convicted offenders: https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/migrants-and-crime-in-the-uk/

Hence why I mentioned the Texas study. It provides a useful reference precisely because, unlike the UK data you’re relying on, the Texas dataset actually distinguishes native-born citizens, legal immigrants and undocumented immigrants. The researchers therefore measured the subgroup you’re trying to reason about rather than assuming that its rate must conform to the aggregate foreign-born rate.

That directly undermines the inference you’re making here: being a member of a broader category does not tell us the rate of a particular subgroup within it. You still need subgroup-specific data to establish the subgroup’s rate.

You’ve largely refused to engage with that distinction and instead returned to the assumption that asylum seekers should be expected to conform to the foreign-national rate. But that’s exactly the assumption under dispute.

Also, your 35% calculation is not the problem. My previous correction should be left standing: your arithmetic is now approximately right if the numerator and denominator are treated as compatible. The mistake is what you try to infer from that demographic composition afterward. The Home Office itself reports 42% arriving by small boat and 62% adult male, while separately warning that demographic profiles vary by nationality and route: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-system-statistics-year-ending-march-2026/how-many-people-claim-asylum-in-the-uk

And your statement that Pakistanis are the majority of asylum seekers is simply false: Pakistan was the largest single nationPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>racist formulation
After all this is an ad hominem which reveals the raison d'etre of your absurd defence. Instead of wasting all this time, you should have just began with this thought-terminating cliché. I am a "racist"; that is your one and only verdict. I thought you were more clever than this, but apparently not. This is where you begin and end; I am a "racist". What a waste of words.

>>2917985
Aww butturt about being called out are we?

>>2917985
>thought-terminating cliché
As if “rape” and “sexual assault” in victim-centric British society aren’t thought-terminating cliches in and of themselves. Like c’mon, Starmer’s cabinet passed the 2023 Online Safety Act and wanted to ban VPNs under the pretence of wanting to “safeguard” kiddies away from “child rape” and “child sexual assault” first and foremost, because it’s well-known that you can justify a surveillance state if it’s the context of preventing le raep.

And that’s why I’m pushing back: Because as much as British liberals want to pretend that their country is enlightened, thing is that the UK is still stuck in the same mentality that led to the Satanic and “child ritual abuse” moral panics, made worse by the anti-immigration brainrot which seems to have gotten into you.

Most anti-racists here aren’t even pro-open borders anyway making your strawman disingenuous. They’re instead, by and large, opposed to the reactionaries led by thugs such as Danny Tommo and Tommy 10 names and supported by the Tories explicitly and implicitly by the current Labour government. Y’know why? The British left has been housebroken by feminist dogma, central to which is an entire ideology built around the notion that rape is this spectacular event that even a police state isn’t enough to prevent it.

>>2917985
Instead of whining about being called mean names, why don’t you address your opponent’s claims.
