>A 2006 WPO opinion poll found that the majority of Afghans endorsed America's military presence, with 83% of Afghans stating that they had a favorable view of the US military forces in their country. Only 17% gave an unfavorable view.
>A 2015 survey by Langer Research Associates found that 77% of Afghans support the presence of US forces; 67% also support the presence of NATO forces. Despite the problems in the country, 80% of Afghans still held the view that it was a good thing for the United States to overthrow the Taliban in 2001. More Afghans blame the Taliban or al-Qaeda for the country's violence (53%) than those who blame the US (12%).
The US invasion of Aghanistan was done for purely selfish purposes and the US killed civilians regularly and with impunity. However, could an argument be made that the invasion was actually justified, based purely on the comparative evil of the Taliban?
I'm not trolling, I think this is an important discussion to have.

Kill yourself NOW.
Your people allowed so much kid rape to happen that the locals eventually decided the Taliban were the lesser of two evils and kicked your ass out.

I remember some Afghanistan war documentary, I think "This Is What Winning Looks Like," they talked about how the infrastructure plans never went anywhere and got pocketed by corrupt local elites. So if that was true and generalized through the country you can't even make the excuse about increasing productive forces.

>>2813276
Definitely read The Afghanistan Papers. It goes in depth into what a total shitshow the whole thing was from start to finish. Half the time the ISAF forces weren't even fighting the Taliban but chasing random farmers and bandits around. The first troops to be deployed were taught Arabic instead of Farsi. Pretty much every infrastructure package went directly to warlord palaces or partying in Europe, and reading about the stuff those guys got up to in the 90s will make your skin crawl. The entire thing was a farce.

>the military basically runs the country
from what I understand its exaggerated, the military control the foreign policy and diplomacy, and can throw its weight to make the government fall when it feels its needed, but the civilian government is still in control of internal policy and is a liberal democracy

I wrote this article on "Dare To Struggle", a front group for the "Organization of Communist Revolutionaries", itself a splinter group of the RCP (Bob Avakian's cult). There is basically nothing on the group on the internet besides its own posts and websites, I decided to change that. Notable things they've done are threatening to kill other leftist groups for being liberals (despite doing materially the same things as them) and somehow never getting in trouble for them, praising the Shining Path more than any other communist group that actually beat the capitalists in their country, and general retardation and LARPing. Would be interested in seeing what other people think about this group.

Cairo disarmament talks stall, raising fears of a renewed Israeli offensive in Gaza
Diplomatic sources indicate Mladenov has prioritised disarmament above all other issues, relegating reconstruction of the devastated Gaza Strip to a secondary concern. Palestinian officials have repeatedly rejected this sequencing, arguing that humanitarian relief should not be contingent on the surrender of weapons. Hamas reaffirmed its refusal in its latest response submitted in Cairo on Saturday, insisting Israel must first meet its obligations under the initial phase of the ceasefire and provide stronger security guarantees.

Israel to sue New York Times over article describing its rape of Palestinians
Israel's MFA wrote: "Following the publication by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times of one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press, which also received the backing of the newspaper, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar have instructed the initiation of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times."

Iran urges BRICS to condemn US, Israel for war, exposing bloc divisions
Araqchi said Iran was a "victim of illegal expansionism and warmongering". He asked the BRICS+ grouping - comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, ​South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the UAE - to resist "Western hegemony and the sense of impunity that the ⁠U.S. believes it is entitled to". "Iran therefore calls upon BRICS member states and all responsible members of the international community to explicitly condemn violations of ​international law by the United States and Israel," he said.

Supreme court allows abortion pill mifepristone to continue to be available by mail
The decision came nearly a half hour after the court missed its own 5pm EST deadline. Louisiana has no standing to challenge mail-order abortion, the court found, sending the case back to the fifth circuit. The suit is expected to return to the court on an official appeal, instead of emergency requests from drug manufacturers, in another term.

Muslim ​American groups said congressional hearings that Republican lawmakers cast as aimed at making the U.S. "sharia-free" ‌are being weaponized against Muslim minorities in the United States by stoking fear against them. Republicans, who hold a majority in both chambers of Congress, titled a Wednesday hearing by a House Judiciary Subcommittee as "Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam and ​Sharia Law are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution." A similar hearing was also held in February.

Housing ourselves and others: 50 years of the Advisory Service for Squatters
Last October, the Advisory Service for Squatters celebrated its 50th anniversary, though squatting has been around much longer. In October 2024, we published the 15th edition of the famous Squatters Handbook, which had to be more detailed and complex than earlier editions. Squatting used to be a mass movement; a way for almost anyone in need to house themselves or make space for social use, against the domination of buildings by money and power. But after decades of attacks, sacred property values have been gradually restored, patrolled by the law and the increasingly bloated security industry. In 2012, a law was passed to criminalise squatting in empty residential buildings in England and Wales.

Indian communist parties suffer historic defeat: how did we get here?
The April-May state elections were an historic turning point in Indian politics. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist BJP conquered West Bengal, while the Left Democratic Front (LDF) lost control of Kerala. For the first time since 1977, not a single Indian state will be led by a communist party. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) – the largest and, in words, the most radical of the two main communist parties – described the results in Kerala as a “serious setback.” This is something of an understatement. The Indian National Congress – the main party of Indian capitalism – won 63 seats. Its allies in the United Democratic Front (UDF) won another 39, giving the UDF 102 of the 140 seats in Kerala’s state assembly. Meanwhile, the vote share for the CPI(M)-led coalition of four parties, including the Communist Party of India (CPI), fell by 12 percent. These results are nothing short of a catastrophe. However, this did not come out of the blue. It is the culmination of decades of decline for India’s communist parties, which have abandoned the ideas and methods of Marx and Lenin in favour of criminal class collaborationism. Let us look at the lessons for the working class and youth today.

It's a new international network of communist, socialist and left-patriotic parties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovintern

The ACP and Galloway's Workers Party of Britain is in it so it's gonna trigger some people. Some SocDems are in it. Evo Morales and the Sandanistas are in it. But overall I would give them a chance, considering the rather dysfunctional state of the IMCWP right now (thanks KKE).

the sandinistas and the kenyan communist party. but you also have larpers like the workers party of britain.

I think collaboration between socialist parties is good but I don't trust the ACP personally, if it goes somewhere that'd be good.

>>2812775
Tbf that Kenyan party is a splinter from what was the more popular one. Sandinistas at least makes sense since the Nicaraguan government is pro-Russia.

He supported the Invasion but changed his mind after it was unpopular and just so he could use it against Hillary Clinton, if he sincerely believed it was bad then he wouldn't be doing the same type of regime change now.

Yeah he is speeding up the collapse of the US empire but he does not have good intentions so you should not venerate him.

How true is this and is there a conclusion leftists can draw from it? It would imply that most people are extremely docile and that a very small minority of people are mentally capable of serious criminal activity due to differences in nature and nurture. Several important questions:

>does this mean "evil" is not as widespread as we think and is instead concentrated in the hands of a minority of full time psychos?

>can this minority used for something useful like high risk revolutionary activity due to them being more comfortable with serious transgressions
>is this minority a type of übermensch that makes them psychologically stronger than the average normie?

Citing from the study:
<A total of 93,642 individuals (3.9 %) had at least one violent conviction. The distribution of convictions was highly skewed; 24,342 persistent violent offenders (1.0 % of the total population) accounted for 63.2 % of all convictions. Persistence in violence was associated with male sex (OR 2.5), personality disorder (OR 2.3), violent crime conviction before age 19 (OR 2.0), drug-related offenses (OR 1.9), nonviolent criminality (OR 1.9), substance use disorder (OR 1.9), and major mental disorder (OR 1.3). […] The majority of violent crimes are perpetrated by a small number of persistent violent offenders, typically males, characterized by early onset of violent criminality, substance abuse, personality disorders, and nonviolent criminality.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3969807/
So its not that 1% is responsible for ALL crime, but that repeat violent offenders make up around 63% of the prison population, whioe at least 4% of the public have one case of violent offense. So then, some people are petty criminals (~4%), while lifetime criminals are a completely destructive force and total minority (1%). As far as I know, this correlates with the number of sociopaths (4%) and psychopaths (1%).

>>2812344
According to the article, most of his crimes were misdemeanors related to his homelessness, such as alcohol intoxication. If he was a repeat violent offender, he would definitely serve more time than 16 years in total. So, he would be in the ~35% of prison populations.



 

You will never be a real country. You have no dignity, you have no constitution, you have no control over your own economy. You're just a rebellious piece of land twisted by capitalism and the USA into a crude mockery of the chinese perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back, every single country mock you. The United States are disgusted and ashamed of you, but they pretend not to. Your “allies” laugh at your economic, military and political dependence behind closed curtains.

You will never be independent. Your leader wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell himself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the national bankruptcy creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - Your pseudo-president will wear a suit, will adjust the microphone, and announce that Taiwan will be pacifically conquered by the Chinese Nation, and plunge into the cold abyss of oblivion, that being said, or else a war will start not so far away, and China will conquer the territory that has always belonged to it, in a bloody and violent way.

When that happens, they'll update your Wikipedia page and all the history books, they'll list you as a "rebellious province of China," and you will always be remembered as a shitty little revolution that only lasted a few years, but that always belonged and always will belong to China, your history, your struggle, your sweat, it's all in vain, because at the end of the day, you are part of Chinese territory.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back, you will never be a real country.

Having presence in actually physical space is extremely important for socialist orgs. Couple dozens members concentrated in your local area gives organisation far more political push than thousands scattered across entire coutry. Also you shouldnt rely on social media presence too much, as it can be taken from you on a whim.

No they split over the working with a union that one group within the party didn't like
