/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Glad to see a fellow Bosnian here.

Honestly, I find myself in the same situation even tough I am from the city. Ino I don't think there will be a conflict but I can understand your fear. I am just angry that the idiots in SNSD/HDZ and whoever is now in Federation are diriving this country to an abyss and I can't do much.

I thought of joining politics but seriously not sure, so unfortunatly no advice but I feel your struggle comrade.

Just leave man. You have to look out for yourself first, nobody else will. Staying would be more cowardly IMO, to be drafted into a war you don't even believe in just due to social expectations.

>I would assume that you need to know something about medicine if you want to work as a doctor or a nurse on the battlefield
Maybe in the army.

If you can join some kind of conscientous observer group that can't be drafted then you can learn basic first aid and nursing skills as a volunteer and use that to help out hospitals and stuff responding to combat victims.
You may find it might be too traumatic for you to be dealing with mangled soldiers all day, but if so there is so many roles to fulfill and you can help a lot by helping haul stuff around and clean up and tend to recovering soldiers and stuff. As a young guy (I assume, apologies if wrong) with a strong back you would be a huge help to a hospital.

That being said medical staff are in danger during a war, especially combat medics attached to an army. If uou join the army as a medic you will still get basic training and may have to fire a gun or be fired upon, and I will say that your efforts will be directed towards specific military objectives, not saving as many lives as possible. That is not what an army is for.
So try and avoid getting drafted however possible for your conscience and your own safety. That is priority number one.

Priority two is secure your and your loved ones livelihood. If you are in a possible combat zone make plans with your family and possibly friends to board up your house and take your most important belongings that you can carry a long distance.
Practice together packing up and leaving so you have peace of mind and can do it quickly when and if you need to.

Thirdly is resisting the war in the first place.
You are right that you need to network with other leftists and people against the war. You should try and find such people in your own demographic in person and online-to meet in person, you should do so also with people in the "enemy" demographic.

>The Balkan countries are about to start ethnic cleansing each other, what do I do?
Just try to survive. Get out of there ideally and bring people with you. It's not a situation that you are going to be able to ameliorate unless there's some kind of big and ongoing anti-war solidarity movement.

Why bother with Karl Popper's definition of science as "falsifiable and empirical method" in the first place?

No, it is a priori Wissenschaft, since it uses Hegel's method. Popper couldn't even get past Kant, which Hegel did. Why bother with Popper's definition of science? No reason.

>OP discovers that opportunists and dogmatards make for shitty socialists
cool

1. Marxism as a whole is an ever developing irrefutable revolutionary science. The various posits that make up Marxism could POSSIBLY
be refuted, but its just highly unlikely. The very notion that Marxism isn't science or that it's posits are unfalsifiable in any sense is false bourgeois consciousness.
2. Every posit or conclusion established from Marxist science COULD be falseified. Some already HAVE.
>The tendancy of the rate of profit to fall COULD be falseified if contradictory empiricle data is presented; likewise for how Marxism posits that accumulation capital leads to higher organic composition of capital, or how the proletariat is the revolutionary subject, or any other marxist claim.
<The posit that revolutionary potential and class consciousness rises as capitalism develops and material conditions worsen came into question with the rise of reformism and welfare states. This led to Marxists investigating newly arising forms of hegemony and imperialism and refining these ideas.

this was very insightful, I'm not the OP but I want to thank everyone in this thread for sharing their wisdom and deep philosophical knowledge. truly enlightening answers, all of them

>Noo you shouldn't label different tendencies (some of which are drastically different from one another and contradictory) we are all one communist hivemind!
Idealist bullshit. These tendencies exist because they are the result of contradictions and dialectics within the communist movement throughout history. To disregard their existence is to disregard the history of Marxism itself. It would be as if a scientist threw away all the previous theories and experiments of the past away and declared that all previous tests were not real and that "this is all math!" leaving it at that. Absolutely stupid anti-intellectualism.
>divide and conquer
History doesn't work like that. You can have a coalition of left tendencies but those tendencies will eventually come at odds. (See the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks or the CPC divide during Mao's time). The reason these tendencies exist is not to conquer but to resolve the contradictions that faced the various communist movements of these times. And Marxists give these tendencies names because that is what humans do when they want to label things and differentiate things so that future humans can "learn" from the mistakes (and triumphs) of the past instead of mindlessly waltzing onward blindly.

>>1483494
we see here the divide and conquer strategy in action

>>1483606
we must form a united front.

>>1483026
I'd say these labels aren't entirely useless when you're talking with other gommunists (it can rely on people interrupting the label in good faith) but we should be communists first for sure

>id rather just live alone in the woods, or is that also not allowed?
Ironically that is pretty much what full communism is. Most people will just have a different perspective on work compared to now where it is often cooerced drudgery, but there will be enough abundance (and probably automation) for loafers.

Employee Non-Compete Agreements Are Illegal, NLRB Lawyer Says
The general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board issued a memo on Tuesday stating that overly broad non-compete agreements violate the National Labor Relations Act by barring workers from opportunities to get new jobs. The memo is the latest of multiple governmental actions to address the problem of non-competes, including a proposed ruling by the Federal Trade Commission earlier this year to ban them completely.

Student Debt Provision in Biden-GOP Deal Could Be 'Catastrophic,' Campaigners Warn

ELN: Which Agenda?
The Peace Process with the National Liberation Army (ELN) is a political solution that advances against the current of the old counterinsurgency regime, from where the agents of the foreign strategy that seeks to keep Colombia submerged in the Perpetual War are sowing several obstacles. In some very “special” circles it is said that the ELN does not have an Agenda, but that the Right does! As the “alliances” of the right wing with the current Government are relative; now, in the present context, their Agenda is what is being cooked up in meetings between Andrés Pastrana, Iván Duque, Álvaro Uribe, Federico Gutiérrez and others, where Ingrid Betancur is also emerging. It is said that it is to heat up the street and sabotage the governmental acts on the occasion of July 20, where the parade is contemplated, so that it will not be that, but a “deflation”. The million dollar question is… and how are the reserves going to participate or not participate in the “deflation”? It is not that the ELN does not have an agenda, but that it does not coincide with that of the Right, nor with that of the Government. The ELN’s Agenda is Peace with social justice, where the Participation of Society is definitive in order to build a better democracy.

The Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) on Erdogan's re-election: No room for pessimism, we 'll be victorious
"Those who are trying to squeeze the struggle of this people into the ballot box should shut up from now on! The results of the second round of the presidential elections have been largely finalized. Of course, it cannot be said that what emerged as the outcome of the elections, which were pointed to determine the fate of Turkey, is a hope for a bright future. However, All their political rights have been abolished, The right to strike was taken away, The possibilities of people to get organized have been usurped, The determination to struggle was broken by the unity of the government and the opposition, In other words, was it possible for people, who were in many ways disarmed, to succeed against this great darkness? Against a government that for 20 years had maintained its power through oppression of the working class and the poor, through attacksPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Non saprei. Con il senno di poi, ha chiaramente sbagliato, ma probabilmente all'epoca è sembrata la scelta più sensata visto che la spinta rivoluzionaria dell'urss si era impantanata e le interferenze americane rendevano impossibile fare "qualcosa di più". Ha puntato tutto sul fatto che il PCI, al contrario della DC e del PSI, non era coinvolto nella corruzione del paese e questo lo aiutasse alle urne. Non è andata proprio così. Forse se non fosse morto non ci sarebbe stata la maledetta svolta della bolognina, ma non credo sarebbe cambiato molto: il muro è crollato lo stesso e il neoliberalismo ha trionfato.

Some maps of Kurdistan extend all the way to the Mediterranean coast around Hatay and I'd give the Kurds a port on the black sea bordering Georgia just because.
Still, they'd be coastline poor so the best best is to integrate with neighbors. Eventually BRI and the North-South corridor will pass through the general area which I suspect will give a big boost to Central Asia and the Middle East in general

ITT: retards falling for Kordish separatist propaganda aka pan-Kordism.

Kordish separatists aren't communists or socialists, they're liberal ethnonationalists who will kill anyone who refuses to be part of their baseless racist project. They pretend to be socialists because they think Stalin is still alive and will airlift supplies to them.

Kordestan is nothing more than a region in Mesopotamia. Most of its population are different Iranian ethnic groups. Kords are not ONE Iranian ethnic group. Most Kords are Sunni. They speak different Iranian languages that diverged over millenniums into mutually unintelligible languages.

The origin of Kordish separatism starts with Sunni Iranians unfortunately getting brainwashed by the Ottomans, Russians and British into thinking they're not Iranian and fighting against Shia Iranians. That's pretty much how a Kordish ethnicity was engineered and what Kordish separatists want to perpetuate.

The borders for Kordestan are always different and often exaggerated by Kordish separatists because it's a Western project to weaken the region for more exploitation.

Kordish separatists cut the throat of Kordish children, women and men who refuse to be part of their game.
Kordish separatists in Iran kill Kordish social workers and farmers.
Kordish separatists hate Laks and Lors for refusing to identify as Kord.
Kordish separatists hate Shia Kords for not being anti-Iran.
Almost every Kordish separatist is a Sunni Kord.
