>Make unsubstantiated claims
>Prefix them with "objectively" or "material"
That's pretty much the crux of what passes for argumentation or analysis on here.

It's a goddamn shame because the whole point of dialectical materialism is to avoid the kind of vibes based assertions of shit like "The Protestant Work Ethic" and grounding political thought in reality. Instead it's used by a few as window dressing for the same vibe based assumptions.

>>2586166

Y'know what fucking blows my mind is the ACP will make bizarre exclamations
>"Gays are naturally imperialist"
>"America is some authoritarian collectivist Eurasianist state"
They'll proclaim themselves "MAGA Communists" and you'll get absolutely childish people here saying "Erm, they're objectively to the left of the CPUSA".

I think this boils down to people not even in leftist orgs trying to dictate what the wider movement "should look like"

>>2586172
It like… HAS to be solely keyboard warrior shit, right? How much of this even happens irl? Is this just another permutation of the "marketplace of ideas"?

>>2586174
Yknow I think an awful lot about what an older comrade once told me, which amounted to: "The most radical thing you can say doesn't necessarily mean the most radical thing you can do.." I'd say people who aren't in parties but consider themselves "Marxist-Leninists" are attracted more to the aesthetic of politics than actual politics.

And the ACP is a great source of aesthetics for them, they're throwing their logo on everything, they're waving their flags around, its a full social media blitz. Most importantly they always swagger about like they're "winning" and act like every tiny advance is a huge momentum shifting victory.

It's great for people who are more concerned with vibes I'd say.

US forces seize oil tanker off Venezuela coast
Two US officials told Reuters the operation was led by the US Coast Guard, but did not name the tanker or say specifically where the interception happened. A senior Trump administration official told Bloomberg that the US had conducted a “judicial enforcement action on a stateless vessel” that was last docked in Venezuela.

Honduran election turmoil grows as president decries 'electoral coup'
Honduran President Xiomara Castro on Tuesday denounced what she called an "electoral coup" unfolding amid a chaotic vote count from the November 30 presidential election, as hundreds of protesters gathered in the streets of the capital Tegucigalpa to demand clarity over the vote count. The election has been marked by technical failures, unsubstantiated fraud claims and a shadow cast by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has threatened to withdraw funding for the Central American nation if his preferred candidate is not successful.

In the 2025 federal election's senate ballot, VicSoc ran in VIC, SocAll ran in NSW, QLD and WA, and the SEP ran in NSW and VIC.
Between them all, they totaled 116,896 first preferences across the four states. In these four states, a total of 13,935,046 valid votes were cast.

Of the voting population in NSW, VIC, QLD and WA, 0.83% (1 in 119) voted first senate preference to an explicitly socialist party.

Looking a little deeper, in the electorate of Melbourne, around 4.00% voted for VicSoc plus 0.08% for SEP (1 in 25). In the electorate of Sydney, around 1.07% voted for SocAll plus 0.13% for SEP (1 in 83).

Good instinct though. Being security-conscious is important.



 

Today begins the presidential and legislative election of the Central American of Honduras. With the left-wing Libre party, wish wishes to change the constitution to an anti-neolib and democratic socialist stance, at odds with the liberal and social conservative neoliberal bloc.
Whilst this is happening, Trump has pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking offences whilst going off about how conveniently the whole Venezuelan military high command is full of alleged drug traffickers. Honduras is of considerable strategic importance to the United States. With several U.S. Army bases situated there. Trump has also gone off about how the electorate must vote away from the Libre "communists" and vote anyone else.

Election protests in Honduras as Congress panel vows not to validate result

Officials of a Honduras Congress panel threatened on Wednesday not to validate the result of a Nov. 30 presidential election, citing an "electoral coup" and "interference" by U.S. President Donald Trump, as counting stretched into an 11th day.

While the ruling LIBRE leftist party has no chance of winning the election, it is throwing its support behind Salvador Nasralla, of the center-right Liberal party, who has also alleged fraud and said he has won the election.
It is unclear if Wednesday's declaration by the permanent commission of Congress, which escalates the election crisis, could be enough to annul the results, which must be validated by two of the three members of the National Electoral Council.

With more than 99% of ballots counted, conservative Nasry Asfura of the National Party was about 40,000 votes ahead of Nasralla of the Liberal Party, while LIBRE candidate Rixi Moncada was a distant third.
But inconsistencies in roughly 15% of the tally sheets require further review, heightening the political suspense, as those could be sufficient to sway the election outcome.

>muh cops
Cops are just the enforcers of the ruling class, if the ruling class is the bourgeoisie they represent their interests against ours, if the ruling class is the proletariat they'll represent our interests, being concerned about the police as an essentially negative thing is libshit. The American police force is particularly bad and militarized however, being something like the third or fourth largest army in the world

You can just say poor people. They aren't out there beating and killing the OJ Simpsons of the world. Reminder that idpol minded Americans celebrated his acquittal at the time. I spoke to an old black guy about it once, he said he and his friends were ecstatic that a rich black guy could get away with the same shit as a rich white man. He said even back then he thought he did it though.

MODERN DAY BRUTALITY ON A WORLDWIDE SCALE

The policy (the so-called 'War on Drugs') is built on a gross deception: that drugs other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine comprise a unique group of substances that present an unacceptable risk to health and welfare. This is wholly incorrect: alcohol and tobacco are the most dangerous drugs in existence. The criminalisation of associations with substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine creates a criminal underclass that is the resource for the strategy.

The so-called 'War on Drugs' has absolutely nothing to do with drug use or drug-related harm of any kind: it is purely a worldwide economic system based on intentionally-created crime.

It results in mass imprisonment, fining, asset forfeiture, execution, wars, state-sanctioned murder and endemic violence etc. It provides the pretext under which huge sums of public money are allocated and sustains a massively profitable black market in substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine.

The US oppresses its own citizens under the name of the policy and this oppression extends worldwide, with governments forced to oppress their own citizenry or be chastised and threatened by the US through the United Nations.

Those who profit from or otherwise wish for the so-called 'War on Drugs' to continue constantly proffer the falsehood that the strategy is related to substance use and the prevention and minimisation of drug-related harm. Those who profit from the oppression of others include but are not limited to enforcement organisations and the prison industry, the legal and welfare systems, academia and a plethora of other industries.

The phenomenon continues due to the power and ruthlessness of the US and its ability to generate economic activity. Its true motives are kept hidden via the mass complicity of governments, the press and those who profit from it.

How did Tumblr come to become so insanely influential in almost every social sphere? From scenes being taken over and only really enforcing "gatekeeping" based on Tumblrs values, to Social Academia and Universities enforcing Tumblr standards on students and staff and even the funding of research, to middle management forcing proles to sit through eye rolling incoherent Tumblr course nonsense, to Pop culture largely adapting entirely to Tumblr values and IP's one after the other being turned to only really appeal to Tumblr standards, to even gigagiant evil corpos like Blackrock enforcing Tumblr nonsense through many of their funding. The left itself has largely been taken over and had it's social values and political values rewritten to place primacy on Tumblr's takes on identity, you have actual politicians running for offices that sound like a 14 year old on Tumblr in 2014.
As someone who has been pretty familiar with Tumblr trends since the late 2000s it's been wild watching often what were trends and theories that were created by teenagers, get taken out of that context, to become mass political liberal/left establishment and middle management/academia talking points. It's also been very wild watching massive franchises, just get run roughshod over with Tumblr to the point that is actually obnoxious (WotC, DnD, Star Trek, Star Wars etc).
How did Tumblr do this? Reddit is technically a bigger site but has nowhere near this influence, 4chan was a bigger site back in the day, and again, not this influence at all. So how is it that I'm watching Politicians and business leaders, spout crap that was the domain of confused larping scene kids on Tumblr a decade ago?

it's fascinating to see in the wild because it's all so dead. it's like arguing whether leftists should be pro-gamergate in the present tense, as though it's not all dead and gone, as though the world hasn't moved on.
it's almost nostalgic until you remember how embarrassing it all was and how immature you were at the time… until you dwell on the fact that a decade later and wiser, you're still here.

tumbler girlies got work in HR

It was a convenient way to have an RSS feed. Still is, unlike twitter, which sold itself on that same premise, with the additional gimmick of being able to post via texting, making an RSS feed you can update from your flip-phone, before rug pulling somewhere down the line to get people to use it through it's built-in timeline instead.
Think tumblr did the texting thing too later on but dropped it at some point.

I know that seems like a boring answer but that's really it.

Ugandan memes aside, my experience is that the title is generally. A large segment of Africans may not like lgbtetc, but it is not at all preoccupation. There are just many other major issues in their lives.

why did nigeria intervene in benin but not in niger during the recent coups?

Tanzania crackdown on planned protest leaves streets deserted

Security was tightened across Tanzania on Tuesday with police and military seen patrolling major cities ahead of anticipated anti-government protests called to coincide with independence day.

By sunset, however, no major demonstrations had taken place.

The demonstrations were called to demand political reforms in the wake of October's post-election unrest which left an unknown number of people dead.

The authorities have admitted using force against protesters, claiming that some groups were attempting to overthrow the regime.

Security vehicles were seen driving along major roads and intersections, while officers took up positions at strategic locations, including around key public infrastructure.

Public transport stopped operating entirely, the AFP news agency reported.

On social media, activists and campaigners urged supporters to stay alert, suggesting any demonstrations were unlikely to begin until the afternoon. The messaging echoed previous protest calls in Tanzania, when turnout increased later in the day.
