US: Massachusetts city divests from companies linked to human rights violations in Israel
Members of the Medford City Council voted to pass legislation that would divest city funds from weapons manufacturers, private pensions, fossil fuel companies, prisons and other organisations that contribute to human rights violations. Medford City Council president Isaac Bears sponsored the investments ordinance, which overwhelmingly passed with five council members voting in support, one member opposing, and another abstaining.

'Disaster in the Making': Trump to Open 401(k)s to Crypto, Private Equity Vultures
U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Thursday that would allow private equity and cryptocurrencies into Americans' 401(k)s, appeasing corporate interests that lobbied for the change and disregarding warnings about the risks it poses to retirement accounts. Citing an unnamed senior White House official, CNN reported that "the order calls for the Labor Department and Securities and Exchange Commission to issue guidance to employers about providing access to those alternative investments in their retirement accounts."

Neo-Nazi group leader sentenced to 20 years in prison for planned Maryland power grid attack
Bredar previously sentenced Clendaniel to 18 years behind bars after she pleaded guilty to her role in the plot. He said Russell should receive a longer sentence because he was more culpable and contributed the “intellectual horsepower” that propelled the plot closer to fruition.

Swiss CP, Customs tariffs on Swiss products: Resist imperialist attacks with a class orientation
After months of negotiations, the United States has set a 39% customs tariff on Swiss products, a decision that came into effect on 7 August 2025. This situation explicitly confirms the subordinate nature of the so-called “national” bourgeoisie to imperialist interests, even if the Swiss government negotiates an agreement in the future to modify this tax in exchange for concessions. The globalised capitalist system, of which Switzerland is an integral part, is the fundamental cause of these developments, particularly through the concentration of capital and inter-imperialist competition.

From Vinnytsia to Berlin: against 'anarcho'-militarists & their war propaganda
On August 2 2025, the soliparty Konvulsismo #2 took place in the city of Berlin in support of the Assembly collective in Kharkiv, Ukraine. As both a political group and media outlet, the collective denounces forced conscription. It also reports on social struggles taking place in the context of the Russian invasion and occupation and the increasing authoritarianism of the Ukrainian state in the name of ‘national unity’. Konvulsismo is a party collective dedicated to organising experimental/electronic music shows in support of anti-war groups around the world in the face of growing remilitarization in Europe. Its first event was a concert that raised money for New Profile, a support network for military objectors in Israel, recently defunded by the the German state. Months later, Konvulsismo #2 was the target of a disinformation campaign by the group “Good night imperial pride” (themselves linked to the so-called “Solidarity Collectives”). According to a text circulating on social media a few days before the party, Assembly is only apparently an anarchist and anti-war collective, hiding a political agenda of collaboration with the Russian occupying forces. This resulted in a series of cancellations, forcing Konvulsismo #2 to change its venue and much of its lineup in a matter of days. Fortunately, the party went off withoutPost too long.

They're not really nostalgic for communism, they just wish they had a nationalist dictator.

>>2408121
Oh I have no doubt he was a true believer. Unfortunately he seems to have just been rather stupid and incompetent. The nationalist deviation probably stems from there as well, George-Dej was not like that as far as I know.

Nicolae Ceaușescu was the worst communist leader (I don't consider Pol Pot a communist), further proof the worst socialism is still better than the best capitalism.

There is a logic to it, ML states do not see historical progress as something simple and binary. They see it as a very complex process where in different periods there were parts of history or certain personalities who were good and "progressive"(​​Nevsky, Peter the Great, Catherine) that does not mean that the economic and political situation in 1917 were good and glorious. They explain It was "revolutionary situation" and it can can lead to necessary conditions could lead to a revolution, and so on.
So Peter the Great was promoted and glorified because he objectively made a lot of effort for the progress of Russia, which led to Communism

This is an interesting essay. Emphasis mine:

>The German industrialists were faced with almost certain slow strangulation, especially those that relied upon sale in large quantities and had little possibility of sustaining themselves on the weak German market alone, such as coal and steel producers. This meant that they had to act quickly against the tide if they wanted to survive. The same was also the viewpoint of the Prussian militarist clique, which increasingly took the reins of government under ever more rightist regimes. The terms of the Versailles treaty and subsequent disarmament talks held Germany permanently in a relatively weak military strength compared to the British and the French forces, and the loss of Alsace-Lorraine as well as the overseas territories smarted, as did the French occupation of the Ruhr. The militarists were almost all from the Prussian landowner class in the eastern Prussia, so to speak the Polish parts of Germany, and as a result were inclined to protect their landholdings against foreign competition as well as their nation. Strong agricultural tarriffs had protected the position of German large and middle-sized farmers, if not their highly exploited agricultural labor, since the days of Bismarck and the large farmer lobby was very strong on the German right.(16) Things turned quickly rightward: after some major NSDAP victories, Von Schleicher intervened in 1932 on behalf of the military clique to rule essentially in a military dictatorship, be it one with elections. He introduced some work programs and liaised with Hugenberg, representative of the industrial capitalists, and the NSDAP share of the vote dropped. It was however the inability of the different class groupings to unite effectively that made pursuing this course impossible: neither the industrialists, nor the Prussian militarists nor the landowners were willing to cede any power to the other. This led to a cabinet, devised by an intervention from the diplomat Von Papen, in which they all shared power over their respective domains as Ministers, and had the forceful and charismatic Hitler as Chancellor. In this manner, National-Socialism, like any fascist movement, was the result of the bourgeoisie and upper class’ inability to unify and solve their problems by the usual means – precisely their weakness led to the need for a dictatorship to pursue their policy interests on their behalf, and often against the demands of thPost too long.

Bro's been reading his Hobsbawm

>Fascists did not like liberal societies and their values. They were triumphantly anti-liberal and did not like liberal civilization as such
And for those skeptical of this statement one need only consider Engel's definition of "Reactionary Socialists" from his 1847 Principles of Communism which predates the beginnings of the actual Fascist movements by nearly 70 years.

This fits fascism very well. Fascism, especially the National Socialist variety framed itself as an anti-Marxist mass movement, and also a class-collaborative unification on the basis of the nation state. National Socialists accused Marxism of being the "Guardian Angel of Capitalism" but were also anti-liberal because liberalism is the essence of capitalism: its secularism, its separation of church and state, its individualism, its human rights, its trial by jury, its presumption of innocence, its opposition to feudalism, its opposition to patriarchal and agrarian society. Fascists wanted to turn back the clock of liberal capitalist and scientific enlightenment degeneracy, of which they viewed Marxism as a symptom. Hence even to this day you see both Marxists and Fascists accusing each other of being liberal as they try to disown the label. Marxists see Fascists as capitalist reactionaries when really they want to turn back the social clock to before capitalism, a thing which is impossible and suicidal. Fascists see Marxists as essentially a product of and continuation of the liberal enlightenment. Both try to disown the liberals but both are products of a liberal society and can't rid themselves entirely of the stench. Because whatever replaces capitalism will bear the "marks of capital" and you don't have to read Marx's Capital to know that instinctively.

FWIW I had a closeted gay boss who loved Troy. I've never seen it… I liked Alexander (2004) more and they're actually gay in that movie instead of just closet gay.

Seriously he would hang out at gay bars and hide it from his wife.

There are lots of things that can do that. While only tangentially related, it reminded me of this quote somehow
>There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
