Dump all the seemingly pointless, dubious, and frivolous questions that don't deserve their own shitty threads.

Got a question that's probably been asked a million times before? You're in the right landfill, buddy. Post it here.

Threads that otherwise might go in here will eventually find themselves become merged to this thread.

There have been lots of textbooks and 'basic courses' on maoism, like file related from a maoist book publisher. I'm not sure if you're looking for that or something more like a history of maoist parties.

>>2810891
Take a look at whatever seems interesting:

I can't remember a damn thing from that. Just a collection of tiny snippets lacking context.

Is scarcity enforced?

>>2815351
It is "enforced" by our systems of distribution, if thats what you mean:
<In the EU, over 58 million tonnes of food waste (129 kg/inhabitant) are generated annually (Eurostat, 2025), with an associated market value estimated at 132 billion euros […] At the same time, almost 42 million people cannot afford a quality meal every second day
https://food.ec.europa.eu/food-safety/food-waste_en
There is enough food to feed the whole world, yet so much is wasted because it isnt sold.

Asked this in the China general but didn't get much response.

Could someone give me a quick rundown on the hukou system? Dividing the populace into strictly defined urban and rural classes with distinct rights seems totally antithetical to communism, but I'm open to the idea that there's nuance I'm missing as an outsider.

why did earlier leftists like communist union members, communist cadres in dictatorships, student leftists pretend to be simple proletarians and reject luxury at least publicly, but modern day leftist streamers buy massive mansions and sports cars and extremely expensive brand clothes and jewellery and it makes all their leftist fans excited and happy on stream

To be honest I’m new to leftism

I think I joined this mess and identity with these ideas is that I believe that all other ideologies have failed or will inevitably fail if they came to power, nothing will stop the endless cycle of the battle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, communism is inevitable and nothing will stop the will of the people.

I know some of the basics of Marxism but I don’t really know a lot about economics as a whole, that’s really the problem.

Is there any book recommendations aside from the manifesto to start with? Also is this version of the manifesto good or is it complete libslop

>>2814903
I read this wall of text and damn was he right. Thank you. What else would you recommend?

I am not OP, I am not even considering myself communist in the sense that I have not read anything beyond the manifesto. I see the contradictions or capitalism but I fall often for reformism. This really strengthened in me the need for revolution.

So after reading it, I am left wondering what this means:

"the liberation of the working class from capitalist domination can only be achieved through the workers’ own initiative, and that socialism can be realized only through the abolition of class society through the ending of the capitalist relations of production. "

Are there ideas of how to achieve that? As I have not read theory, I am left wondering what exactly is the capitalist relations of production and are there examples of other relations of production?


Thanks again for the link.

>Soviet Archives

Reminder: There is no monolithic Soviet archives. It's an umbrella term usually to refer to the over a dozen central state archives in Moscow, which over the course of several mergers, acquisitions, and Renamings got the main previously classified government records and communist party records. Certain collections are open to the public. Other archives might be invitation only or by request of scholars. There are certain records that to this day are still classified, especially retaining to some of the operations of the Cheka, NKVD, and KGB are deemed to still be relevant to Russian national security and are usually within the FSB archives. The term could also include regional and local archives across the country and in other former Soviet countries. In the broadest sense it could even refer to archives completely outside the former Soviet Union, which have a Soviet documentary focus.

So just keep that in mind any time anyone refers to "the soviet archives" in a casual conversation. Maybe interrogate what they mean by that, regardless of whose "side" they appear to be on.

This isn't a joke or anything
Cuba is gonna be invaded by the US by next month, and I don't have much hope in the Cuban armed forces alone.

Either an armed resistance needs to be established in the United States or international voluteers need to be formed for Cuba, either by the Cuban goverment or some communist org (PSL, RCI, etc).

Tbh, maybe Cuban attacks in Florida are what we need to make trumpers realize the implications of their actions. Bullies only understand force


>>2815678
I guess they think if they give the US the thing they miss most about the Batista years the invasion will be called off.

A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

This will be the inaugural edition to see how it goes. Welcome!

System of sexual torture targeting Palestinians exposed in new report

Israeli detention facilities have been transformed into “spaces isolated from oversight, akin to legal and physical ‘black holes,’” where torture, including rape, genital mutilation and other sexual violence, is carried out systematically and with impunity.
Survivor testimonies describe extreme forms of abuse.
Wajdi, 43, recalled that “during interrogation, they tied me naked to a metal bed, and one of the soldiers asked me how many Israeli women I had raped in Israel.”
“I denied that I had even entered Israel. Then a soldier raped me,” Wajdi said. “I felt severe pain in my anus and screamed, but every time I screamed, I was beaten.”
“The soldier left after ejaculating inside me. I was left in a humiliating position. I wished for death. I was bleeding,” Wajdi said.
“Later, they untied me and brought a dog, which also raped me.”
Multiple survivors also reported being raped by dogs, or witnessing other detainees being assaulted in this way, describing the animals as appearing to be trained for that purpose and used deliberately by soldiers in detention settings.
“One of the dogs then raped me, penetrated my anus in a trained manner while I was being beaten,” Amir, 35, said.
In a separate testimony, A.S., also aged 35, recalled that his captors “forced me to lie down, and a dog climbed on top of me and tried to insert its penis into me. At first, I did not understand what was happening, but then I realized that I was being raped.”

UAE’s ruling royal family benefits from more than €71m in EU farming subsidies

The United Arab Emirates’ ruling royal family is benefiting from tens of millions in EU subsidies to grow crops destined for the Gulf, it can be revealed.

A cross-border investigation by DeSmog and shared with the Guardian found subsidiaries controlled by the Al Nahyans collected more than €71m (£61m) in six years for farmland it controls in Romania, Italy and Spain.

UAE foreign minister treats Nigel Farage like prime-minister-in-waiting on UK trip

The United Arab Emirates' foreign minister met with Nigel Farage, leader of the right-wing Reform UK party, during a visit to London.
Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who also serves as the UAE’s deputy prime minister, was photographed sitting with Farage on Friday.
The Emirati foreign affairs ministry said the pair discussed the "latest regional developments and the repercussions of the unprovoked Iranian terrorist attacks targeting the UAE", as well as strategic relations between the UAE and Britain.
Reform scored major gains in last week's local elections and continues to perform strongly in the polls. The party has also been cultivating increasingly close ties with the Emirati government.

India and UAE sign defence pacts, as Iran war tensions simmer

The United Arab Emirates and India have signed pacts on defence, energy and shipping during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Gulf state on Friday, as both countries seek to deepen their relationship amid heightened tensions between Abu Dhabi and Tehran.
A key area of agreement was strategic petroleum reserves and the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG), with a pact stating that any “potential storage of crude oil in Fujairah, UAE, to form part of the Indian strategic petroleum reserve”.

'The socialist struggle is being targeted through fascist attacks in universities'
<Speaking about the fascist attacks at universities, the young people stated that the attacks stemmed from the fact that the socialist struggle at universities had become a target.
Recently, fascist attacks at universities have been increasing. Most recently, at the Middle East Technical University (METU), a fascist attack occurred during an İlkay Akkaya concert at the Revolution Stadium, followed by the targeting of revolutionary students and the arrest of two students. The detained students were tortured, and they were targeted by fascists on social media. Some students also received death threats.

We spoke to Eda Koçak from the Commune and a student from METU (Middle East Technical University) about the attacks that have taken place at universities. We cannot reveal the name of the METU student, who stated that they are still receiving threats, for security reasons.

<'THEY USED THE FLAG FOR PROVOCATION AT METU'

EF, who was present at METU during the attacks and witnessed the events, said the following regarding what happened: “The claim that the flag was attacked is absolutely false. On the contrary, the group that came to provoke wanted to use the flag to create a media image. For days, they had been trying to build propaganda from the areas. From the moment Ilkay Akkaya took the stage, a group, half of whom were not from METU, started booing incessantly under the large flag.”

As the seventh song approached, our friends, unable to tolerate the insults and booing any longer, intervened. When the intervention began, the group suddenly hid behind the Turkish flag, and continued to circulate the footage in this manner in the following days. It was entirely a tactic used by the ultranationalist groups on the opposing side to exploit the numerically superior ODTÜ (Middle East Technical University) students. They had tried to do the same thing last year when Nur Sürer came, but failed.

On the second day of the festival, they continued to behave in the same way, waving Göktürk flags and making the Grey Wolf sign, advancing towards our friends from UGT, laughing and insulting us, and physically assaulting our friends who argued with them. When the security forces tried to remove them from the area, they would leave for a while, then Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I don't think what you said could get any dumber

Anyone who calls themself an ML yet is opposed to this just outed themself as being primarily anti-West and not an actual socialist. Communists in Iran are simply practising revolutionary defeatism just as Lenin did, and it is probably the right strategy.

>>2815479
I really just made the thread to mock the retard in the picture but if you want genuine opinions then here's mine:

It absolutely does disgust me. The Iranian government is evil and I support Iranian Communists in their struggle for liberation. I was worried about the possibility that the protests could be co-opted by Israeli and American interests, thereby worsening the situation but ultimately I trusted that the Socialists in the country knew what they were doing.

However, with that being said, I do support Iran against the US because the US and Israel's intentions with Iran are to balkanize it and turn it into a destabilized puppet state of the West that is largely ruled by whatever fucked up Shi'a version of ISIS rises from the chaos. I cannot possibly see the situation getting better if it falls to the US. I do still support Iranian Communists, and if they choose to revolt against the government then they have my support. I am, in all fairness, worried that without a large base of support in the country they'll just fail and accidentally help the US in the process. Even if that happens, I think the Islamic Republic is ultimately to blame for not giving into their demands, thereby dooming the country to annihilation by the US.

>>2815648
Are they? From what I've seen it seems like they've largely chosen to focus on helping people who are effected by the war.

Thank you comrade :)

alas, the era of the shockjock taking calls on the radio is over.
I was surprised to see the zionists at h3 do it.

I personally enjoy the call-in culture of the olden days of radio, some of my favorite bits come from call-ins.
I can see this as a niche hole in a niche market that I would enjoy, but can't see ever really being a thing.

Hm. True. And leftists do tend to be a lot more insular (with Patreon as a main mechanism) nowadays. I might have to shill money on various Youtuber patreons to assist in my goal of ending echo-chambers…



 

Any predictions for the outcome of the 2026 American midterm elections?

Any socialists on the ballot?

Any guesses as to how the redistributing/gerrymandering issue will play into things?

How do you think issues like Trump’s wars, the tariffs, ICE raids, Black issues, Medicare For All, the climate, voting rights, abortion, trans issues, autistic/neurodivergent issues, and Palestine will affect the outcome? For instance, are we seeing a split in the Democrats over Palestine and other foreign policy issues?
