You live in the blowing up children capital of the world, where you enjoy the spoils afforded to you by children getting blown up. When people say "stop doing the things that enable the blowing up of children", you shit your pants, because you're an accomplice.

Just as the Frankfurt School reimagined the left, I think it falls on us to do this same thing now. In regards in particular to places like Chins.

Clashes around Aqtan prison. It also seems that the US coalition has arrived in the area, probably to make sure the prisoners don't escape.

Hesen Şero: Gang cells want to stir up trouble in Cizîr.
Militant groups affiliated with the interim government in Damascus are continuing their attacks on the prison located between the cities of Raqqa and Shaddadi, where ISIS militants are being held.

Hesen Şero, Co-Chair of the Executive Council of the Cizîr Canton Autonomous Administration, stated in his statement regarding the issue that the ceasefire was clearly violated by the militia groups affiliated with the Interim Government of Damascus, and that clashes were continuing, especially in Şedadê.

Hesen Şero stated that numerous gang cells affiliated with the Provisional Government of Damascus were attempting to stir up trouble in the Cizîr Canton.

Police attacked the march in Amed, and resistance spread throughout the city.
A march was planned to protest the attacks by HTS and other militia groups, supported by the Turkish state, against Northern and Eastern Syria.
The march, which was attended by Democratic Regions Party (DBP) Co-Chairs Çiğdem Kılıçgün Uçar and Keskin Bayındır, as well as representatives of political parties and civil society organizations and numerous citizens, was blocked by the police.
Following this, the public marched from the Human Rights Monument in Koşuyolu Park, chanting slogans.
While some citizens fainted during the police's use of tear gas, the protest continued in different locations.
Young people who gathered in the city's side streets also continued their marches. The protests are continuing in scattered groups on many streets and avenues of Amed (Diyarbakır).

third parteis have no chance because the system had made it impossible for them to prosper, the only way a third party might win is by being funded by a billionaire.

Honestly real

Despite the fact that the two parties are currently very strongly merged with the state and getting a third party on ballot or getting past gerrymandering and voter suppression can be very hard, that could be changed if we started at a state level and worked up. The truth is a successful enough third party would be able to win and trigger a split between the legislative and executive branches (which is already underway anyways surprisingly) and likely bring up much more fundamental issues of state power being being beholden to the bourgeoisie in more sinister ways. Fundamentally our elected representatives don't hold real power, the deep state, which consists of unelected officials, the permanent members of the military, the supreme court, police, the bourgeois media, bourgeois think tanks, private security, and three letter agencies, holds power.

If we had a communist party that didn't tail democrats, that focused on studying the issues important to working class people and finding the solution that's in our best interests, and went door to door popularizing their policy positions and building alternative media based on face to face interactions, they could likely become a huge presence. Instead they do other shit, god knows why

I was told we should not engage in bourgeois politics and elections.

Main positive effect of the Palestinian protests, or Occupy Wallstreet, or CHAZ might have been radicalization. Did BLM achieve some results, banning of choke holds in 31 of 100 largest localities and probably other things like reducing discrimination and policing of schools in several localities? Certainly the Civil Rights movement did achieve great ends. What makes these different?

All of those “gains” are getting rolled back. If you want them to stay permanent you can’t allow the conditions for that to happen again. You have to push people further left.

In regards to Jake Lang I'll repeat and add on to what I said in the US politics thread.

I can't remember an instance of a right wing figure getting their ass beat by mobs of protesters. Like there was the guy who punch Richard Spencer but again it was by one guy, not a whole mob. To me it seems that the people are done putting up with MAGATs and their reactionary schizophrenia.

Also from the reactions from right wingers on Twitter, it seems they thought that with Trump in charge they could finally leave the internet and terrorize people IRL again. Only to learn that everyone hates them and aren't putting up with them.

So going forward I doubt we'll be seeing MAGATs trying to hold rallies in Minnesota or showing their faces in general.

On the one hand it's genuinely radicalizing lots of libs and this could have been used by a competent party to greatly grow an armed body and contest state power. This seems even more legitimating to such an idea than during the anti-police protests, since this is a federal occupying force that's been given explicit immunity from the law for all actions, including murder, rape, and theft. On the other hand it's a totally manufactured political crisis. The strings are being pulled by the far right elites in line with the Heritage Foundation and they are creating polarization on purpose. People's living standards, besides the new stronger possibility of being brutalized randomly, haven't changed much and the rise in consciousness seems limited geographically and to the left. There's no competent party to take advantage of the situation and lead the people.

The USSR collapsed because its birthrates collapsed. A liberated population would consume much more than an oppressed working class population, and when you combine this high demand for goods with low supply of labour you got shortages. It is what it is.

<New research published in the International Social Science Journal suggests that the relationship between personality and political beliefs in the United States varies significantly by age. The findings indicate that higher levels of neuroticism are associated with liberal ideology among young Americans, but this association is absent in older generations. This generational divide implies that growing up in a highly competitive historical period may play a role in shaping both the mental health and political orientations of American youth.
This feels like such a weird assertion to make in the face of the Cold War. I suppose it makes enough sense that the current median of "the older generations", the average of which now being the youngest Boomers and oldest Xers, were the ones growing up through the 70s/80s to see the Cold War be in this weird limbo of heightened tension in proxy conflicts and media/rhetoric only to have it wind down during the latter half of the 80s. The thing is, until that point, during the whole duration of the Cold War, people were anxious of nuclear war, and that fear and paranoia was heavy, if not all-consuming for the many families of those that worked for the MIC, so it's very weird to say that younger people are more neurotic because they grew up "in a highly competitive historical period".

I'm not even trying to pull a Boomer-ism. If anything, the world we're seeing today is a return to pre-WW2 if not pre-WW1 norms (actually the scarier fact), but I feel like it's a tough argument to say the Cold War, even in the latter days, was less competitive. I suppose that the older people are "less neurotic" because, despite the anxiety and paranoia of the Cold War, they lived their 20s/30s in the 1990s, when the Cold War ended, Communism melted away, and the US enjoyed being hegemon of a truly unipolar world (for a fleeting 10 years); it's possible that, from their POV, the relief of the Cold War ending allowed them to forget the anxieties of the years prior and just remember that in the 70s/80s, they were having fun, struggling with jobs, getting married, and that all the threats of nuclear exchange was just bluster (which, ironically despite their neuroticism, younger people seemed to have internalized into the idea that nuclear war will never happen or is a trivial thing, whichPost too long.

Even politically repressed artistic talents in the USSR were superior to politically repressed artistic talents in the USA.

yes, he was a Christ-cuck, but a Christ-cuck that emerged from a socialist country, molded by it, and achieved never before seen artistic heights

>Most of the "against" facts typical of the average state bureaucracy, including the Soviet nomenklatura.
Not unless you believe the most outlandish liberal propaganda about the USSR. Sparta was a brutal and rigid class society in which a tiny minority violently terrorized and exploited the vast majority of the population, who were somewhere between slaves and serfs. The final test to graduate from the agoge and become a Spartan citizen was to murder a random helot. They literally hunted their exploited class for sport. It was not socialist by any absurd stretch of the imagination. If you want to insist on there being an ancient Greek state that was "closest" to proto-communism (which is a nonsensical statement since they were all slave societies) it would probably be Athens by virtue of higher social mobility. Moreover if you actually adhere to historical materialism, a mercantile society is closer to socialism in terms of developing the social basis for it.

>State-enforced austerity and discouragement of private wealth and luxury.
>State-controlled education and lifestyle, subordinating individual choice to collective needs.
>Strong social pressure toward conformity and equality in daily life among citizens.
Not communism. Read Marx, read Lenin, stop believing American propaganda about the USSR, and stop being a fascoid retard.

>>2653075
Athenian pederasty was an elite practice, it wasn't practiced by the common mass of Athenians tmk. Meanwhile, Spartan men almost certainly were homosexuals seeing as they were confined to male only agoges and ate in a common and didn't marry off into a household until their late 20s or sth.

Wasn't that only the elite too? Like, citizens and not slaves, which were the majority
