Fuck Debord, Deleuze, Guattari, Adorno, Zizek, all the Frankfurt school, all other postmodernist, critical theory, all these indecipherable philosophers. I despise these social fascist lickspittles. Why are they even considered remotely socialist? It's like they didn't take a single lesson from The German Ideology, they read Marx encyclopedically but don't even pay attention to what he's saying! All they see is the long winded style of writing he inherited from Hegel and replicate that rather than spending a moment to realize that their philosophy is useless. Like liberals they pick out a few 'radical' sounding things and ignore the real work on political economy!

Their understanding of socialism is completely liberal because it is just taking the aesthetics and going 'Well, they had some good points. But I think we need a new way'. Liberal scum. Always they end up supporting NATO and social democracy, or they become ridiculous anarchists. The post-modernists have had a terrible effect on socialism. It is the ideology of neoliberal capitalism, incompatible with Marxism and communism. Post modernists need their delusions beaten out of them to show that the real world does have meaning. Postism is completely rubbish. All 'posts' are ridiculous theories, that included Post-colonialism. Fundementally they are bourgeois, because it is rejecting real progress.

All these lickspittles say is the most radical things ever. "Let's abolish capitalism and all exploitation! Let's abolish time! Let's abolish the current way we see the world!". But then they don't do anything about it! And lots of what they are asking for and conflating with the class struggle is ridiculous like paedophilia and time abolishing. These ones are the ideological fault for postisms and identity politics becoming such a big thing. Nobody real can read their work. Even Marx tried to make his work readable even though at times it is difficult. But they revel in how complex and difficult it is. This is for a reason - their audience is the petit-bourgeois, not the working class.


There has never been a good philosopher. Hegel might have been useful to Marx, but once Marx transcended him he should never be read (Lenin is wrong on this). The only real philosophers are the ones who are working in the struggle. The fascists should be ostracised and their books burned. I despise them and I am angered whenever I hear one of their evil names.

Why do boomer leftists love(d) Israel so much? Guilt over the holocaust? Romantic depiction of early colonists in their national-socialist kibbutz? Positive media exposure in their formative years?
Most of old people supporting Israel in the west were staunch left-wingers in their youth, sometimes they still are leftist just not on this particular issue.

Yeah I think it's a mistake to view boomers as a bunch of leftists who turned conservatives. Actually, the boomers in the New Left saw themselves as a besieged minority in a very conservative society and that included a significant number of their peers as well.

But I think a left-to-Zionist pipeline is probably more common among Jews. There are Jewish-Zionist publications (I'm thinking of Fathom Journal) that are hostile to the Free Palestine movement and the left, but the people are middle-aged and older ex-leftists, and I mean people who had once been in really hardcore groups in some cases like the Spartacist League (which is a strict anti-Zionist organization). But they they tend to hit harder because they understand what leftists actually believe more than Ben Shapiro does.

Zionazism seems schizo at first glance but it is just the logical endpoint of White supremacism, Christian supremacism, and European settler-colonialism: Jews have been knighted as "honorary" whites, and have been enlisted as crusaders against Muslims by white European Christians. It is an alliance of the two older Abrahamic faiths against the new one, and an alliance of the "true whites" and the "off whites" against the browns.

How should the secular international Communist left combat these powerful spooks? Or should they simply ignore it and focus on building the labor movement?

one of the side plots in Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice is that there's a Jewish crime lord named Mickey Wolffmann who uses neo nazis as body guards. The main character Doc Sportello is a stoner private investigator who learns about this through a member of the Black Guerrilla Family who just got out of jail. It's such an interesting sequence in the book because it takes place in LA in the late 60s, and Pynchon, who was probably a spook at some point in his life based on his well known real life paranoia, STEM background, proximity to the US security apparatus in the 1950s, and tendency to write about shit like Operation Paperclip a lot, made me think he based that character Wolfmann off of a real guy.

It is now illegal to be anti-Zionist in the United States.

I repeat, IT IS NOW ILLEGAL TO BE ANTI-ZIONIST IN THE UNITED STATES.

I hope all of you who voted for Trump (or didn’t vote at all) on the basis that “Harris is worse” or “there are no differences between them” can go to sleep easy now. Trump was never a “peace guy” and was always in-bed with the Zionist entity’s far-right.

You're not allowed to criticize Israel because its position is weak, strong stable governments can tolerate criticism so they don't care what you say.

The Kurds are the world’s largest stateless nation, spread across Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran, with the majority in southeastern Turkey. Since the 1970s, the most influential independence movement has been Turkey’s PKK, founded by Abdullah Öcalan as a Marxist‑Leninist guerrilla group. The 1991 Gulf War saw Western powers carve out an autonomous Kurdish region in Iraq, using Kurdish aspirations to weaken Saddam Hussein—setting a precedent for fragmented “self‑rule.” Post–Soviet collapse and with Iraqi Kurdistan forging ties with Ankara over oil exports, the PKK abandoned armed struggle and Marxism‑Leninism.

In 2005, Öcalan embraced Murray Bookchin’s “ecological libertarian municipalism,” focusing on decentralized communes and environmental protection rather than class-based national liberation. This turn treats ecology as a substitute for the core Capital–Labor conflict and sidelines the broader Kurdish national question. It risks entrenching divisions between Kurds in Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, as oil‑rich Iraqi Kurds pursue state‑level leverage while others are steered toward small‑scale localism. Without a Marxist framework, communities lack the tools to counter state repression, plan economic development, or resist co-optation by Turkish authorities.

The PKK’s adoption of “eco‑municipalism” reflects both an ideological retreat from socialist class struggle and an example of how imperial powers exploit minority movements via “humanitarian” and environmental pretexts.

No wonder the movement collapsed.

Global Rights Index reveals crisis for workers and unions
International Trade Union Confederation’s (ITUC) 2025 Global Index shows the average country ratings deteriorated in three out of five global regions, with Europe and the Americas recording their worst scores since the index began in 2014. Only seven out of 151 countries received the top-tier rating. The data shows a sharp rise in violations of fundamental rights, including access to justice, the right to free speech and assembly, and the right to collective bargaining.

Black Gold, Broken Promises: Basra's Youth Demand Justice Amid Oil Profits and Pollution
A peaceful protest by hundreds of petroleum engineering graduates in Basra turned violent on Sunday after security forces forcibly dispersed demonstrators demanding employment in the province’s lucrative oil sector. The protest, one of many over recent months, reflects growing frustration with widespread corruption, environmental catastrophe, and systemic neglect that has turned Basra’s wealth into a source of suffering for its people.

Israel declares West Bank village south of Hebron a military zone amid settler violence and forced displacement
Israel has declared the Palestinian village of Khillet al-Dab'a, in Masafer Yatta south of Hebron, a "closed military zone" for 24 hours, as part of what rights groups and local leaders describe as an escalating effort to forcibly displace residents and hand land to Israeli settlers. The closure order, issued Sunday morning, bans any presence in the area except for local residents and comes after foreign and local delegations visited the village in solidarity with those resisting eviction. The military sealed off the village after Israeli forces stormed it at dawn.

Jeffries No Match for 'Historic, Fascistic Moment' After Response to DHS Detaining Nadler Aide
Two weeks after declaring that the Trump administration's arrest of members of Democratic members of Congress would be a "red line," the top-ranking Democrat in the U.S. House this week was signaling no concrete plan to take action over the Justice Department charging a congresswoman and federal agents detaining a Capitol Hill aide.

Interior to rescind Biden order on Alaska reserve drilling curbs
Department officials said in a statement that the Biden administration's imposition of restrictions "exceeds the agency's statutory authority" under a 1976 law while imposing "unnecessary barriers to responsible energy development." Interior under Biden unveiled final plans last year to protect more than 13 million acres in the 23-million-acre reserve, with an outright ban on new oil and gas leases on 10.6 million acres. Large hydrocarbon deposits underlie sensitive wildlife habitat in the Alaska expanse.

Trump administration seeks pause of second tariff case after loss
The Trump administration on Monday asked a U.S. appeals court to pause a second court ruling that found the president had exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping tariffs on imports, saying the decision jeopardizes trade negotiations with other nations. Trump's tariffs were first declared illegal by the Manhattan-based U.S. Court of International Trade on May 28. A federal court in Washington, D.C. followed with a second ruling the next day, which also found that the tariffs exceeded the president's authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a law intended to address "unusual and extraordinary" threats during national emergencies.

Cold facts, the average American can't cover a $300 emergency expense. They're broke, way poorer than we're giving them credit for. We're talking people scraping by, living paycheck to paycheck, while the top 10%–those pulling in over a million a year, living in big mansions, renting out their second mansion to some other rich fuck just a rung below them on the totem pole–fuck up the whole ratio. Take them out, and don't even get me started on the billionaires, who are absolutely screwing the curve. The median income? Probably around $30,000 a year, maybe $35,000. Don't quote me on the exact number, but the point stands: things are way worse for the average American than we're letting on.

Look at places like Florida, Louisiana, or the Pacific Northwest, where wildfires are ravaging everything. We saw this with the Palisades fire–people, regular folks, wage laborers, uber drivers, teachers, gig workers, lost their homes. They were renting, not owning, so when the flames took everything, they had nothing to go back to. The developers? They don't give a fuck. They rebuild, and now the rent's significantly higher–proven fact. Those people who lost everything? They're just left to what, die effectively? They can't afford the new prices, can't buy property, can't even find a new place to rent. They're screwed, and we're gonna see this accelerate. Accelerate.

Take Florida. A lot of 70+ year old retirees, snowbirds flocking for the sun. But when summer hits 115 degrees and hurricanes tear through like clockwork, it's becoming less habitable. Logical conclusion: fewer snowbirds. They are the people who can afford to leave anyway. Add in COVID, still running rampant, and the fact that Boomers, the main retiree crowd, are aging out and dying off. Then there's the wealth disparity–many don't have the cash to keep up the snowbird lifestyle. Now, let's say 25% of people have the money to up and leave, sell their house, buy a new one without being out on their ass. That's generous, probably way too high. That leaves 75% of people stuck, no way to relocate, no cash to start over, in a collapsed space. And what's the government's position? Nothing. We've privatized everything–healthcare, housing, you name it. All they offer is indefinite detainment, militarized police, and hyper surveillance. That's it.

Those places–Florida, Louisiana, the Northwest, Arizona–are gonna become hotbeds for resistance. Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Campus militarization intensifies, undermining academic freedom
In 2024, Filipino students confronted government’s efforts deemed as threats to their freedom of expression and academic freedom. Youth groups have voiced concerns over the government’s push to reinstate mandatory ROTC for all students and the relentless red-tagging of activists. Despite its controversial history, mandatory ROTC is now a priority of the Marcos administration. Senate Bill No. 2034, also known as the ROTC Act, is currently on its second reading in the Senate after the House of Representatives passed its version. If approved, the bill will require all students enrolled in at least two-year undergraduate programs in higher education institutions (HEIs) and technical-vocational institutions (TVIs) to complete a four-semester ROTC program. Failure to comply will disqualify students from graduating, while schools that do not implement the program will face sanctions from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). “There are already so many issues that need attention. If we add mandatory ROTC to this, the more pressing problems that require solutions will just be overshadowed. And to the policymakers pushing for mandatory ROTC in the country—Let us not impose unnecessary laws. Perhaps if you immerse yourselves with the masses, if you experience the daily struggles of students, you will see and understand what is truly needed,” said Queenie Quintero, student regent of Bulacan State University (BulSU). The proposed ROTC curriculum, to be crafted by the Department of National Defense (DND), CHED, and TESDA, purportedly aims to instill discipline, patriotism, and civic responsibility.

I think it's pretty obvious that anyone forecasting a traditional USSR-style revolution in the US, at least in the short term is driven by wishful thinking.

My question is, where are we headed next? Facism? Gradual stagnation into nothingness? Keynesian reform to keep things going a little longer?
