Italian workers strike against war and militarization
The Italian grassroots trade union Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) launched a general strike on Friday, June 20, to escalate national mobilization against armament and war. Echoing a slogan from broader peace campaigns – “Abbassate le armi, alzate i salari” (“Lower the weapons, raise the wages”) – striking workers aiming to expose the consequences of Europe’s, and more specifically Italy’s, growing military-industrial agenda, including more cuts in the region’s public services.

British parliament votes in favour of assisted dying law
The “Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life)” law would give mentally competent, terminally ill adults in England and Wales with six months or less left to live the right to choose to end their lives with medical help. Those who would want the procedure would have to be signed off on by two doctors and a panel of experts.

Top Bulgarian official says he’ll intervene to stop food price spikes before eurozone entry
A top Bulgarian official has said he will intervene to stem sharp rises in the prices of food and drink that he blames on speculators profiteering ahead of the country's expected entry into the eurozone. Inflation is a politically explosive topic in Bulgaria, as the country looks set to join the eurozone on Jan. 1 next year. Public support is starkly divided, particularly because of fears that currency convergence will import western European prices to the EU's poorest country.

Trump says US bombed three Iran nuclear sites, including Fordow
President Donald Trump said Saturday that the US military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel’s effort to decapitate the country's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict. The decision to directly involve the US comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities.

Trump administration suspends enforcement of Biden-era farmworker rule
The 2024 rule provided protection for workplace organizing to foreign farmworkers in the U.S. on H-2A visas. The U.S. Department of Labor said the rule had already been suspended because of federal injunctions. … The H-2A visa program allows farmers to bring in an unlimited number of foreign seasonal farmhands if they can show there are not enough U.S. workers willing, qualified and available to do the job. The program has grown over time, with 378,000 H-2A positions certified by the Labor Department in 2023, three times more than in 2014.

Karl Liebknecht: The Main Enemy Is At Home!
The main enemy of every people is in their own country!
The main enemy of the German people is in Germany: German imperialism, the German war party, German secret diplomacy. This enemy at home must be fought by the German people in a political struggle, cooperating with the proletariat of other countries whose struggle is against their own imperialists. We think as one with the German people – we have nothing in common with the German Tirpitzes and Falkenhayns, with the German government of political oppression and social enslavement. Nothing for them, everything for the German people. Everything for the international proletariat, for the sake of the German proletariat and downtrodden humanity. The enemies of the working class are counting on the forgetfulness of the masses – provide that that be a grave miscalculation. They are betting on the forbearance of the masses – but we raise the vehement cry: How long should the gamblers of imperialism abuse the patience of the people? Enough and more than enough slaughter! Down with the war instigators here and abroad!
An end to genocide!
Proletarians of all countries, follow the heroic example of your Italian brothers! Ally yourselves to the international class struggle against the conspiracies of secret diplomacy, against imperialism, against war, for peace with in the socialist spirit.

India's Kashmir railway is an engineering feat - and an occupation project
On 5 June, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a new railway project in Indian-occupied Kashmir. In scenes that have since been played on a loop and celebrated across India, Modi is seen gripping an Indian flag high above his head, and dramatically marching across a bridge like a standard-bearer of a conquering army. To accomplish this railroad project, Indian engineers had to build the "world's highest bridge", 359 metres above the Chenab river bed in Jammu. Likewise, the Anji Khad Bridge, India's first cable-stayed railway bridge, towers 331 metres above the river gorge. "This shows that our resolve is as big as the dream for India's development," MoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Thank you for everything, Joseph <3
I have seen many interesting input from various anons on Stalin here, whether in the form of opinions, books, documentaries etc. They happen sporadically, scattered on different threads which rarely have anything to do with Stalin, ML or USSR. I figured a Stalin General Thread would be useful. A place where to share all things Stalin and discuss all things Stalin.
Though I am pro-Stalin, this is not a strictly Stalin-worship thread. Posts critical of Stalin too are welcome. I simply request that they are in good faith, and not just 'muh ML' trolls.

Who was Paul Pawlowski?
>Paul Pawlowski (born 1926/1927) was a Polish-born immigrant, Hellenic polytheist and English republican who, from the late 1970s until his resignation in 1996, served as the leader and only member of the Republican Party of England and the English People’s Liberation Army (EPLA).

What was the EPLA?
<The EPLA originated as a split from the Maoist Working People's Party of England. The Army's ideology called for the independence of England from "Judeo-fascist" forces.
<According to the "Dictionary of Terrorism", it was "extremely weak" but had "undertaken isolated bomb attacks". In 1983, it claimed responsibility for a parcel bomb sent to the headquarters of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
<Barberis et al claim that the organisation may have had links to the Oliver Cromwell Republican Party, founded in 1977. This minor organisation, also led by Paul Pawlowski, later renamed the Republican Party of England, is best known for its leader's demonstration against the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981

The revolutionary career of Pawlowski, in his own words:
"In 1960s I read the Iliad in HMP Brixton.
Why! Thats polytheism – thats my religion i decided.
in 1970s I opened Temple of Aphrodite Pandemos in my one room in Tooting. Landlord told me to get out – evicted.
I moved to empty house in Charington Road squat.
There was Banner books shop nearby in Camden High street.
The shopwindow was Red with little red books bust of chairman Mao in the middle. Indian man Bijour was the shopkeeper.

Basically you are kind of degeneracy enabler.

But, hey fair to you, I openly hate freedom, and in exactly the way you mean it. I think its one of the most disgusting concepts man has ever come up with.

I am truly your totalitarian enemy.

aren't libertarians just the latest iteration of proudhonists

every few decades retards reinvent proudhonism, and then the different groups of proudhonists under different names fight each other online (see eg anarchists vs libertarians)

Italian Brainrot vs The Backrooms vs Analog Horror

libertarians are literally just liberals, both words have the same root, libertarians just take individualism via individual freedom to the maximum degree. ancaps are the flat earthers of political theory and nobody takes them serious. sorry this is so confusing as to why a country rooted in locke and jeffersonialism would manifest such a range of opinion-ideology, not rocket science

Marxism is not Karl Marx Thought

>>2348831
his refutation of Marx's claim is refuted within www.marxists.org/subject/economy/authors/pe/pe-ch37.htm
his farcical take on socialist value distribution can be corrected by reading that chapter

>>2349133
>Marxism is not Karl Marx Thought
Post >>2348685 is explicitly about a statement by Karl Marx and not somebody or something named "Karl Marx Thought".

>>2349152
>take on socialist value distribution can be corrected by reading that chapter
There is no conflict whatsoever between post >>2348685 and that chapter, hence the chapter cannot be a correction of the post nor vice versa. The entire point of that post is about a logical compatibility that Marx believed to not exist. The chapter posted makes no statement for or against its existence.

What was it about 1968 that made it such a revolutionary year in the West? What was the historical materialist context which made it so revolutionary and made it the closest that the West came to revolution and how was it coopted and liberalized in the 70s and 80s?

Boomers are a tiresome and demonstrably retrograde dominion they regard themselves as audacious and defiant with their jeans and tie dye shirts , they are simply counterfeit figures, attempting to assimilate with the burgeoning rebellion of the counterculture portraying a veneer of peace amd love, and collective solidarity They might be attempting to manipulate our burgeoning fervor for personal enrichment or a paltry echelon of recognition it is all a meticulously crafted strategy to maintain their entrenched and ultimately oppressive position within the socio-economic fabric of kazakhstan, a great example of the bourgeoisie

There is a part of truth in that, but it's also a lie and a psyop. The students went to the factories and tried to ally with the workers. There were huge strikes in Paris and Lyon but the PCF and CGT cucked out and told workers to go back to work, and signed the Grenelle accords. Many activist groups criticized Cohn-Bendit as an opportunist who diluted the revolutionary potential of the situation. It was a chaotic time and many students wanted to create workers' councils in factories, but the official communist party were cucks who didn't support them and wanted capitalism to go on as usual, like the usual opportunist bureaucrats they are.
Read Jacques Wajnsztejn, he wrote a really good book about the 1968 situation in France and Italy (the 1969 Turin strike at the Fiat factory was the biggest of Europe at the time), and that's not even talking about what was also happening in Prague, Germany, Belgrade, Pakistan and Japan.
It was a serious but failed revolution like 1919 and it gave rise to neoliberalism just like 1919 gave rise to Nazi Germany.

I know it's been a few days but I'm still kinda pissed that Iran fell for something as obvious as "move bombers around in a really blatant way while hitting them with bombers from a different direction with trackers turned off." It's the most basic possible misdirection and they fell for it.
