Considering she is operating in Lithuania context she is the second coming of commie Christ
Also she kicked out rightoid backed corrupt and lobbyist interests carrying out Defense Minister despite her being backed by powerful business interests, President and even the last Socdem PM who got kicked out due to corruption leading to her taking his place even if she was in SocDem party for less than 9 months and never held any political position besides as Minister of Social Security and Labour so she's based in my book so far

>liberals are not reactionary
they strictly oppose any significant social change, which makes them inherent reactionaries
<um yikes, forcing your ideals on people is kinda giving authoritarian you know. like i agree with the vibe but what about the women that WANT and CHOOSE to be housewives/broodmares/sex workers??

Wheres your black flag?

its also scientific insofar as
the analysis of capitalism, of history and of political economy is done scientifically (using the scientific method)
socialism aim is to rationally (and democratically) plan human labor and its production in society, so its a scientific approach to society and politics

>>2530158
Hey, you copied that post from communist trans twitter

Agent Kochinski thread

Anti consumerism is also just a way to discipline labor

>>2530727
I think this is a false promise. Because new institutions and structures will continue to shape us as long as we remain social beings.
I recommend checking out Foucault's writings on power, where he explains the issue in more detail. (I've been trying to find a good collection as a pdf, but libgen is a mess atm)

Snipe pigs, simple as.

Pakistani troops gunned down some Palestine protesters. Now the people who got killed were TLP which is a schizo far-right party but still.

>On Breaking Points yesterday, we covered the grisly massacre that unfolded this week in Pakistan, as state security services gunned down an unknown but considerable number of people marching to protest against looming normalization with Israel. The segment was controversial, with critics arguing that the group in question, the TLP, is not genuinely “pro-Palestine” but is a far-right, religious extremist organization that regularly incites and carries out violence. But we noted all that in the report.

>Pakistan does not actually have a history of this sort of mass state violence, and so the military-backed government needs to normalize it if it is to become part of their weaponry in building and defending what Field Marshall Asim Munir describes privately as his end goal, “a hard state.” Authoritarian governments often target groups with the least public support first, hoping to establish a principle for how other dissent will be dealt with. In this report we document how the Pakistani military appears to be using the same tactic with the justly unpopular TLP to set the tone for how other groups may expect to be treated if they do not toe the line on their emerging Israel-Gaza policy.

>The story below, reported by Waqas Ahmed, Murtaza Hussain, and myself, describes one of the most cynical and diabolical deployments of strategic violence I’ve ever covered.

Same. Sounds plausible. Asim Munir showed up at the White House over the summer. I scanned an Al Jazeera article that puts the relationship into context:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/19/trumps-pakistan-embrace-tactical-romance-or-a-new-inner-circle

But it makes sense. The Republicans in the U.S. and the Pakistani deep state / military people have a relationship that goes way back. If you look at the Pakistani military, it's a mix of Chinese and U.S. hardware, while the Indians have Russian equipment. But India also used to have a lot of British hardware, and they use French-made warplanes.

propaganda video of afghanistan ministry of defence

>>2520350
It seems to be because of attacks from TTP(Tehreek e-Taliban Pakistan) in the Pakistan-Afghan border regions. Pakistan believes the Taliban are backing them/allowing them to attack Pakistan using Afghan territory as a base which is very likely since both Taliban and TTP are hardcore Islamists. Pakistan striking Kabul on behalf of the US so they can reclaim Bagram easier seems unlikely IMO since large sections of their military are entirely Chinese-sourced, I think this is no different from Pakistan fighting with groups like the BLA(Balochistan Liberation Army), they have a lot of rural areas in which they lack complete control and have to contend with various militant separatists.

Deputy US marshal and man shot during Ice operation in Los Angeles
During the operation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents surrounded and boxed in a man in his vehicle. Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS assistant secretary, said the man used his vehicle to ram the federal agents’ vehicles in an attempt to flee. Officers then fired “defensive shots”. The man was shot in the elbow. The deputy marshal was struck in the hand by a ricochet bullet, the DHS said. Both were taken to the hospital.

State websites blame Republicans for food stamp cuts as shutdown drags on
States have started to warn that millions of families could go without food aid next month, and some have adopted the Trump administration's more partisan tone. "Because Republicans in Washington, D.C., failed to pass a federal budget, causing the federal government shutdown, November 2025 SNAP benefits cannot be paid," the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services website said. "Federal officials with the Trump Administration have told all states that if the Republican federal government shutdown continues, it won't pay for SNAP (food stamp) benefits in November," the Illinois Application for Benefits Eligibility website said.

Trump nominates new Army vice chief with current general just two years into the role
The nomination and replacement come less than a week after Adm. Alvin Holsey, the Navy admiral who is overseeing military operations against alleged drug boats off Venezuela, announced a surprise, early retirement in December. About a month ago, Gen. Thomas Bussiere, head of the Air Force’s Global Strike Command, also suddenly announced his retirement, citing “personal and family reasons.”

Catherine Connolly: Ireland’s left candidate
Connolly has brought together the largest grouping of left-wing political parties, trade unionists, cultural and community organisations, anti-war and solidarity groups-in a presidential election since the foundation of the Irish state. But her election is not a forgone conclusion in spite of her polls being high. The October 17 edition of the Irish Times carried a headline in reference to the forthcoming Irish presidential election which read: “Connolly holds commanding 18-point lead entering the final week.” She was on 38 per cent to Heather Humphrey’s 12 per cent. However, while such a headline might be of comfort to Connolly’s supporters some of the more cynical among us would think there could have been an ulterior motive in writing such a headline. Could it have been a sort of clarion call to those who do not desire a left-wing candidate as president to come out and vote for her opponent? We all know of the story of the Trojan Horse and the old saying “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.” (No offence to Greeks.) So was there an ulterior motive?

My Time in Mexico’s Largest Immigration Detention Center: This is an excerpt from The Darién Gap: A Reporter’s Journey through the Deadly Crossroads of the Americas by Belén Fernández, now available from Rutgers University Press.
The first time I spoke with survivors of the Darién Gap, I was in jail in Mexico. It was July 2021, and I was serving a brief stint as the token gringa inmate in Siglo XXI, Mexico’s largest immigration detention center, located in the city of Tapachula, Chiapas, just west of the border with Guatemala. Over two thousand kilometers to the southeast of Tapachula lies the Darién Gap, known in Spanish as el Tapón del Darién or “the Darién Plug”: a 106 kilometer stretch of territory that straddles Panama and Colombia and constitutes the only roadless interruption in the Pan-American Highway linking Alaska to the tip of Argentina. The Darién Gap encompasses a spectacularly hostile jungle that has in recent years become a mass migrant graveyard, as hundreds of thousands of refuge seekers from across the world are forced to contend with its horrors while pursuing tPost too long.

Thanks News Anon

I'm glad the hind rajab foundation is sticking this out. it is disgusting how cowardly the EU is on universal jurisdiction.

Thank you based news anon

Emma is the leftist who thinks big country of Bumfuckland invaded smaller country of Penistan 10,000 miles away from Unser Burgerreich, so our based military-industrial complex must arm Penistan with the Reich’s money. No wonder these ‘leftists’ podcast are more than tolerated, even welcomed by the Reich.

Shouldn't mods be able to ban you now, now that you've forgot your TOR node?

>>2530466
Yes, they possess smartphones yet they still have rivers polluted with innumerable plastic trash and human shit and live surrounded by much of the same. I dropped street view on a random spot in India and got this, Iphones != poverty reduction

>>2530860
The expansion of internet access and consumer electronics in India is just to distract them from how shit their material reality is with online entertainment or flame wars, unironically that's what the Modi government is doing.

This always happens with democracies, they go with the easiest path to appease the people in the short term because all a ruling democratic party cares about is getting elected another term so they can keep stuffing their pockets with corruption money from various useless projects.

ATTENTION TO ALL COMRADES
REQUESTING BACKUP IN THE DENG THREAD THATS ON THE FRONT PAGE RIGHT NOW
CIA BRAINWASHED LEFTCOMS ARE TRYING TO SMEAR THE WISDOM OF COMRADE DENG AND THE HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENTS OF SOCIALISM WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS
THE REAL MOVEMENT IS UNDER ATTACK, BILLIONS MUST DIE

Yes I want fent to be legal so more people can die

>>2530142
That would probably lower the death count tho

>>2530139
in socialism there is even less reason to criminalize drug use, the problems of drug use spreading through a population will always be less severe than the power struggle between the people selling those drugs illegally.

also life under socialism will be better, people may be able to experiment with drugs from curiosity and not from a desire to cope from the shittyness of life

in my state we're back to smoke shops just selling 4sub tryptamines like its the 2000s or sum shit. tbh its kinda fire that I can just go buy 4-aco-dmt gummies down the street.

In the agrarian society the land is the means of production, the owner of the land controls the means of production and owns or rents slaves/serfs to work the land, who do not control the means of production. But the slaves/serfs could potentially revolt and take over the land and seize the means of production.

In the industrial capitalist society factories and machinery and tools are the means of production and the factory owner hires workers who do not control the means of production. But the workers could potentially revolt and take over the factory and seize the means of production.

In the fully automated high-tech society, intellectual property is the means of production and the company owner needs no human resources at all and their control over the means of production is absolute. There are no workers to seize the means of production and even if there were, there's no way to seize intellectual property.

Why don't we just run electricity through the plumbing system and see what happens? Water is conductive, why the need for cables? We could get electricity with pipes instead.

>>2530240
Aka why you have to get to socialism first, no? The entire reason I sell ML and AI work is because ML and AI are now the means of production to seize. Before it, at porky command, kills us all.
