Palestine Action defendants acquitted of aggravated burglary over arms factory raid
As the verdicts were being read, the defendants held hands and embraced in the dock, as families and supporters cheered and wept. The jury did not convict defendants Head, Corner and Kamio of violent disorder and acquitted Devlin, Rogers and Rajwani of the same charge. The jury was also hung on charges of criminal damage - despite five of the defendants admitting to destroying weapons and equipment belonging to Elbit Systems during the break-in. Additionally, jurors did not return a verdict on the charge faced by Corner of grievous bodily harm with intent for striking a police officer with a sledgehammer. The six defendants have been held for around 18 months on remand- exceeding standard UK custodial time limits.

Labour MPs voice ‘cover-up’ fears as Sir Keir admits he knew of Mandelson's Epstein links before making him ambassador
Back-bench MPs voiced opposition today to Sir Keir’s bid to withhold some papers related to Lord Mandelson’s appointment. The Tories used a Commons motion to demand the release of all papers related to the decision. The PM’s amendment proposed to withhold some “papers prejudicial to UK national security or international relations.” John McDonnell, Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington, argued that the amendment could lead to a cover-up.

The pervert exposed industry of capital is a flourishing industry .you won’t see justice because Americans love it as spilled tea

ICE are not fascists, they're simply lumpen and petit-bourgeoisie who want to work a simple job for a good salary. What makes most people join ICE is not being a fascist/nazi and wanting to destroy immigrants and POCs but simply being paid well enough to live a good life. This entire circus is to secure power for the pedophile government of America and as a whole the geopolitical pedophile governments of the west. Nobody is rising up despite civil wars having been had for less than this because society has been faggotified and sissified now with most citizens being deluded liberals who think they can fix thngs through reforms and civil disobedience marches and protests and violence only being very brief uncoordinated or sporadic acts of useless terrorism (adventurism). Fascists were never paid well for being fascists, freikorps fought for only food and water, the blackshirts were mostly hyped up hooligan youth, the nazis were disgruntled middle classers, the falange were disgruntled middle classers appealing to the lower class and such. ICE are simply like mercs, most of them do dirty deeds for good money and only few of them are politically motivated much like Wagner, you cannot blame Wagner, blame the bourgeois country that enables them, ICE and Wagner did nothing wrong they're simply acting in their class interests and do whats best for themselves and their relatives by earning a good wage. If you're anti-ICE you're a liberal, ICE are a symptom not the disease, the disease is your bourgeois government that you need to coordiante to coup but you're all too incomptenet and ideologically incoherent to do so and replace it with anything better, but at the very least your shitty coup and groupings that could do it would at least destabilize it for other international players to potentially involve themselves (China, Russia) who know the way of proper governance. So if you protest fuck you, you're for the status quo and get what you deserve for being a retarded activist.
DEATH TO THE WEST, YOU ALL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.

I saw this the other day and it genuinely made me think. After all there are so many self proclaimed conservatives in history, yet every reactionary leader with the exception of Kolchak had some ties to liberal or even left wing movements.
For example, Hitler was a voter of SPD, ᴉuᴉlossnW had a communist father, Ivan Ilyn was deeply involved in liberal movement in Russia.

Kolchak is an exception since he was in the military and in general the military is about the only revolutionary potential that conservatism has.
Other than that it seems at least to me that conservatives are incapable of waging revolutionary struggle. Would you agree?

Yeah I know which side I'm on :3

does anybody here know where i can find online english translations of the works of Camilo Torres Restrepo? it doesn't seem to be available on Marxists.org and i can't find anywhere i can buy them from.

I was told by someone on here that in order to be a Communist, I must "believe" in "Free Will." Somehow, I doubt this is truly a prerequisite, but if it really is the case, then so be it.

Before getting into "Free Will," there is no good evidence that human beings possess an immaterial “soul” that thinks, chooses, or survives bodily death. All available evidence indicates that what we have hitherto called a “person,” is an activity of a living brain in a living body. Mental states reliably track brain states; damage the brain and you damage memory, personality, judgment, and agency; destroy it entirely and the person disappears. No additional essence remains.

Human brains are biological systems governed by physical law. They are extraordinarily complex, adaptive, and self-modeling, which produces the powerful subjective experience and outward appearnce of "authorship" and "choice," but nothing in neuroscience suggests that brains initiate actions independently of prior physical causes. Also, introducing indeterminism or randomness does not rescue “free will” in the libertarian sense, since randomness adds noise, rather than control.

The popular notion of "Free Will" as an uncaused, self-originating power of the "soul" or of the brain, in more secular accounts of "Free Will," is therefore unsupported. What exists instead are constrained decision-making processes embedded in biology, development, and environment. Responsibility is not metaphysical; it is a social practice invented and enforced by humans to shape behavior while brains are still alive and responsive to incentives.

There is no evidence that accountability survives death. When the brain permanently ceases to function, the person is gone. What remains is matter, not an observing subject.

These conclusions are not radical inventions of modern science. The dependence of mind on the condition of the brain has been observable since antiquity through injury, disease, and degeneration, and has been progressively clarified by advances in biology, chemistry, and physics. What is new is not the insight itself, but the precision.

Resistance to these conclusions is understandable. They undermine comforting narratives of cosmic justice, personal exceptionality, and ultimate moral reckoning. Many cultures have developed religious and metaphysical systems that posit souls, absolute free wPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The contemporary Right, in the form in which it exists today, did not emerge organically but was shaped through several distinct historical reconstructions.
Twentieth-century National Socialism, while not inventing the Right as such, left a deep imprint on later radical and far-right movements, especially in terms of political myth, symbolism, and methods of mass mobilization.
In the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, figures such as Paul Gottfried helped reframe and rebrand parts of the post-conservative Right, coining concepts like “alt-right” and popularizing the narrative of “cultural Marxism.”
These ideas were then further transformed within online subcultures, including transnational internet spaces, where Western far-right discourse intersected with Japanese nationalist, aesthetic, and media influences, before being consolidated in the Western internet ecosystem.

Prisons have always fascinated me. They have thier own culture, their own laws, their own food, their own factions, their own politics, their own commodities even, yes, for example there are drugs that are harder to find on the outside than in certain prisons.
Honestly I wonder why don't we actively encourage people to go to prison and just tell them prisons are good? It is true for a lot of places. And we can flood the prisons to a point where most of the population is imprisoned. The country with the highest prison population is none other than the U.S.A. with over 1,8 million prisioners. Thats more prisioners than a lot of countries' populations.
