>if tomorrow every CPUSA member died screaming in a fiery car crash you would be a very happy camper but nothing would change. your party would still be irrelevant, there would still be dozens of nominally communist parties without any power or membership or militancy and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie would still keep chugging along through the DNC and RNC.


To focus on the individuals within the organizations, to speculate on their personal psychology, careerist ambitions, or individual "bad faith" is to fall into the trap of liberal idealism. It mistakes the symptom (the behavior of the individual) for the disease (the structural function of the apparatus that contains them). The material reality is that the DSA and the CPUSA, PSL, and the likes are not simply "misguided" organizations; they are integral functionaries in the Non-Profit Industrial Complex (NPIC), which operates as a domestic counter-insurgency machine. To analyze this correctly is to see that the function of these "leftist" parties, irrespective of the intentions of their members, is to absorb, professionalize, and neutralize revolutionary energy before it can pose a material threat to capital.

The term "Non-Profit Industrial Complex" describes the sprawling network of foundations, charities, and service organizations that, under a legal framework, form an apparatus of social control. With over 1.5 million such organizations in the U.S. and combined assets in the trillions, this is not an auxiliary to the state; it is a central pillar of its hegemonic project.

The U.S. government and the CIA have a long history of using foundations and NGOs to destabilize hostile states, funding militant movements abroad to create chaos. At home, the same technique is used for the opposite purpose, to stabilize the state by capturing and misdirecting domestic dissent. As Robert L. Allen documented, the Ford Foundation gave millions to Black organizations in the 1960s, deliberately funding moderate leaders who would steer the movement away from revolution and toward integration into the capitalist system. This is not speculation; it is documented counter-insurgency tactic that has become more complex, and more embedded into material reality over decades.

The "Shadow of the Shadow State", Ruth Wilson Gilmore describes the most troubling sector of the NPIC as the "shadow of the shadow state". These are the Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Ecuadorian Environmental Defender Found Dead After Reporting Corruption and Threats
For at least a year, Silva-Koniuszek had been denouncing the irregular sale of more than 700 hectares in the Capaes area, where the land was sold without a public auction in 2022 by then-Mayor Otto Vera Palacios for US$6.2 million. The case gained prominence because the transaction allegedly involved the administration of La Libertad Mayor Francisco Tamariz.

Final countdown to defuse protests against Mexican government ahead of World Cup opening game
Only 24 hours remain before the World Cup kicks off in Mexico and the country is going though its final dress rehearsals. Preventing demonstrations on opening day is already a pipe dream: negotiations with teachers have stalled and search groups will march to make their missing relatives visible.

Global Union Urges Sanctions on Myanmar Regime Over Labor Abuses
The junta has moved to dismantle labor protections, scrapping tripartite mechanisms between workers, employers and the government, while cracking down on trade unions and jailing or exiling labor activists. Addressing the ILC, IndustriALL general secretary Atle Høie stressed that around 450,000 garment workers in Myanmar earn under US$100 a month—about half the living wage. He said factories operating under martial law expose workers to military checkpoints, harassment, unpaid overtime and the threat of forced conscription.

Why do communist parties perform so poorly in electoralism?
Why are they not appealing to the populace as whole?

flood detected but whyyyy aaaaaa

I’m getting really fucking sick of the Palestine Movement’s obsession with “celebrity” activists and how much it prioritizes these western activists over actual Palestinians.

All the time on social media I see incidents of sone western activist living in America losing their job for speaking out against Zionism and then proceed to raise $20,000+ through a GoFundMe account in response. All of that money could have been better spent by being directly given to Palestinian families in Gaza who lost everything because if the genocide, or at the very least organizations with a good reputation for helping Palestinians in Palestine. Western activists will survive without your $100 donation, Palestinian families in Gaza won’t.

Tgis obsession with propping up the personalities of “activist celebrities” is one reason the Palestine a movement has become such a clusterfuck. I’m talking about people like Hasan Piker, Greta Thunberg, Chris Smalls, Ms. Rachel, Kehlani, and Vic Mensa to name a few. How about we start focusing on actual Palestinians? The flotilla activists are the same way: they receive so much money and support when they know full well the Zionist authorities won’t let them into Gaza, making the flotillas merely a stunt. Yeah, they were tortured in Zionist prisons but so have thousands of Palestinians who will never have their voices heard in global media.

Or, when Elias Rodriguez goes to trial in a few months you can be sure he’s going to get tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in legal donations from Palestine activists. Gaza is suffering and yet you think giving money to a guy who will clearly be found guilty and spend the rest of his life in prison is a better use of your funds?

Celebrities and influencers should not be propped up on a pedestal at all but the same thing goes for these “I was fired for saying ‘Free Palestine’, I’m a martyr now, gib munny pls” types. Palestinians should be the ones centred here, not western activists who have made loads of money and clout for being pro-Palestine.

US strikes leave 10,000 Iranians without water as Kuwait desalination plant burns
Bahraini authorities repeatedly sounded air raid sirens, while Kuwaiti forces said they were intercepting incoming missiles and drones. Iranian state media also reported fresh damage to two bridges on the Bandar Abbas-Rudan transport route, while officials said at least eight civilians were killed in Friday's attacks in Hormozgan province. Meanwhile, senior Iranian military official Major-General Mohsen Rezaee said that Tehran would "abandon its restrained military posture" if US attacks continued.

Chinese consumption is entirely reliant on the exploitation of low-wage chinese workers to profuce stuff cheaply to then sell to the west and in 30 years time as as china develops their entire consumption will be based upon the exploitation of low wage workers in developing countries like vietnam and ethiopia to produce stuff cheaply so they can sell that stuff back to their own consumers aswell as the west.
Can someone please explain as to in what capacity china is communist other than their flag? No matter how you twist it they're literally just succdems.

Growing up in my country I constantly read in our textbooks that the British conquered us because they divided us and that this should serve as a reminder that national unity is the only way to avoid foreign domination. But the historical reality doesn't show that.

In most cases the EIC formed alliances with regional rivals and local elites who were acting in their own political and strategic self-interest. These groups were not passive victims manipulated into conflict, they saw cooperation with the British as the best way to advance their own ambitions and often they achieved many of their goals through those alliances.
While I'm thinking primarily about South Asia, the exact same narratives appear is most third world societies. Former colonies often claim they were conquered because the colonizers "divided and conquered" them, implying that major social, political or ethnic divisions either did not exist before colonialism and shouldn't matter now.

I'm curious have socialist historians or theorists argued against the simplified "divide and conquer" narrative or offered a more nuanced explanation of how colonialism relied on alliances with local elites, existing class structures, and pre-existing political conflicts?

Every single marxist-leninist state relies on using reactionary tribalism (nationalism) to maintain societal cohesion as they are utterly incapable of actually creating a unified class consciousnes among the populace.
And if the populace did develop class-consciousness they would quickly overthrow the marxist-leninist state and kill off every single member of the party-bureucrat that ruled over them.
