I only remember Kenya taking part in the intervention and the video shows Kenyan troops, if somebody didn't notice.

Think of it this way: why doesn't the US intervene? I don't think there is a single instance when the US had the chance intervene in conflict somewhere and it refused just because it didn't care enough. And if it really was a regional interest to intervene, why don't the regional countries do it? Any other Carribean country? Central America? South America? Clearly

>>2091113
Yeah, it's pretty strange the issue with haiti. Maybe the lack of revolutionary potential or lack of threat of socialism make the place uninteresting for true interventionism

>>2091113
No. Again, the men deployed are genuinely just police officers. Jamaican soldiers are the second most active force in Haiti’s stabilization mission with the Dominican Republic leading behind. The USA is genuinely just staying out of this conflict (mainly because it and other South American countries are responsible for supplying the gangs with their weapons.)

>>2090583
anyway that the proles of haiti can take back power from the gangs through organisation rather than having to simply wait until the kenyan or yankee military come?

The fact is NEETs consume less both as a consequence of having fewer monetary resources and being accustomed to a minimalistic lifestyle. Capitalism is a drug. Like all drugs when used in moderation it can benefit the user. Sadly, far too many people use drugs to cope with an unhappy life and end up abusing them. The empty life of the wagecuck is brutal which is why they often drunkenly buy shit they don’t need. While the problem is frivolous purchases, and wagecucks can theoretically avoid that, NEETs have the advantage. I try not to blame the victim and I genuinely don’t think these wagecucks can actually help themselves. I don’t think most people can. It’s true that some NEETs are just as depressed as wagecucks, namely the ones who don’t follow the 8fold Path of the Comfy NEET. When these NEETs have spending money they are liable to make just as many impulsive purchases as wagecucks. However, the less fortunate depressed NEETs still can’t buy things. Instead of relying on willpower these unmoneyed NEETs have simply removed the option to make bad choices. So they don’t.

In aggregate this disincentivizes the manufacture of plastic crap. In isolation this reduces carbon emissions from the product either being delivered to the buyer’s house or from the buyer driving to and from the store to buy the product. That adds up fast. Perhaps the most obvious way NEETdom protects the environment is the huge reduction in carbon emissions we produce by not commuting. Many NEETs don’t even have cars, either biking or taking public transport to get where they need to be. Just look at the reduction in NO2 emissions during the peak of the CORTICOIDE lockdown. Even for most NEETs with cars, going for a drive isn’t something they do as frivolously as buying stuff.

Another eco-friendly aspect of NEETdom people often overlook is breaking the reliance on restaurants. And who can blame them? It’s easy to forget that most restaurants are extremely unsustainable. When you have a job, you don’t have time to cook yourself a meal in the morning and you don’t have the energy to cook yourself a meal at night. During the day you have neither so you’re likely either to skip lunch or grab some fastfood which is bad for both you and the environment. And unlike buying random crap or using a car, you NEED to eat. NEETs have the freedom to cook their own meals at home. Going out to eat produces not only far more packaging waste and food waste, but each and every one of thosPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

what part dont you understand?

I went to a therapist for my NEET/hikkikomori problems and it did not help at all lmao. They just say the same shit over and over again thinking just going outside can fix everything but they just dont know so they can never help. I quit going because it was just make me feel even more horrible about myself for being this way, i legit cried hard when i got to my room after an appointment because it really made me feel shitty about myself and even more embarrassed someone has to see me this way, and i never really cry about anything i just feel it. Im doing better on my own though even if im still that way lol

I completely understand. They really don't do much other than try to integrate you back into society, get you employed, and hope it just magically goes away. In reality, there is a lot more to why people are NEET/hikikomori to begin with. Many have been living this way for years and years. It really sucks when you want to help yourself, but a lot of people are so unfamiliar with this territory of living that they're quick to write it off. I always say to do what's best for you at the end of the day, but paying for a therapist can be a slippery slope because they will most likely give you generic advice and try to forcefully push you out of NEETdom. I do believe exposure can help, but forcefully doing it is not as easy as it seems and could backfire for the individual if not handled correctly. Making someone go outside doesn't just burn the NEET off.

Again, It's complicated the Soviets originally wanted an alliance with the UK and France to contain Nazi Germany which was rejected and so a peace treaty with the Nazis was assumed to be a better choice, cause Russia had dealt with WW1, Its own Civil War and a disastrous Invasion of Poland

You cannot build a socialist society in a vacuum. You can only build it in a nation state like Stalin did, convincing inhabitants of a nation that socialism is a way forward for their advancement.
Only after establishment of socialism in more than one nation it is possible to talk about some international socialism - you have no international socialism if you do not have socialist states cooperating with each other. This is the only way forward on this planet - cooperation of socialist nations. Not a single socialist worldwide government.
Nations are culturally, ethnically, traditionally, linguistically, even mentally distinct units of humanity - socialists can only work inside nations, for the benefit of the people in their nations and after success cooperate.
National unification projects generally fail unless one nation is way more powerful and produces major economic incentives (hence USSR was a success with Russian nation at its core - but USSR was never really a multinational alliance, it was really dominated by the Russian national spirit - that's just facts).
Generally, large nations incorporating smaller nations, forming quasi-civilizations are the most efficient way of organizing human labor.
Large nations-civilizations can only cooperate, not unite - there are too many differences, from structural to cultural. Perhaps socialist nations could unite in some far historical perspective once culture would globalize much, much more than it is today but this is a far away theoretical possibility only.
A worldwide socialist government built right now as a thought experiment would represent no one, not a single society, collective, community and would immediately collapse. A cooperative of socialist countries would've been far more efficient.
Not to mention that by robbing people of their national identity you sever their collective spirit, making any socialist cooperation whithin the state more difficult.
This problem is much harder to understand for Jews outside of Israel and Americans than for Europeans for understandable reasons.

No arguments as expected

>>2092425
You must be forgetting that Marx said capitalism is rationally organized and that nations are a product of capitalist development. You don't even need to read Stalin to know that nations are a material reality and rather then trying to fight against reality our objective is to push through it to the other side until national distinctions are aufhebung.

New US jobless claims slip, but people are remaining unemployed for longer
The number of people receiving benefits after an initial week of aid, a proxy for hiring, rose 46,000 to a seasonally adjusted 1.910 million - the highest since November 2021 - during the week ending Dec. 14, the claims report showed. Economists had been expecting the level of continued claims to be 1.880 million.

CPP CC Statement On The Occasion Of The 56th Anniversary Of The Party’s Founding
Holding high the Red banner of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and ever determined to lead the Filipino people’s national democratic revolution, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines extends its ardent revolutionary greetings to all the Party’s cadres and activists, Red fighters of the New People’s Army, allies in the National Democratic Front and the broad masses of the Filipino people, on the occasion of the Party’s 56th founding anniversary. On this occasion, we call on the entire Party and all revolutionary forces to: Deepen and broaden the rectification movement! Further strengthen the Party! Strike deeper roots among the masses and firmly lead their struggle against the US-Marcos fascist and bureaucrat capitalist regime! Persevere in advancing the people’s democratic revolution! Today, we honor Ka Jose Maria Sison, founding chair of the Central Committee, whose Marxist-Leninist-Maoist theoretical writings continue to illuminate the revolutionary path of the Filipino people. The new generation of Party cadres and fighters will forever remember and draw inspiration from Ka Joma’s lifelong communist dedication to the proletariat and all oppressed and exploited classes.

Egypt under Sisi: Will repression and stagnation continue in 2025?
As this year comes to an end, the most populous Arab country remains a stagnant mammoth with a slowly rotting political order, lacking domestic legitimacy and kept alive only by a continuous lifeline of cash from the West and Arab Gulf states who fear the repercussions of the Egyptian regime’s implosion. The year started with Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who is now 70, renewing his presidential term until 2030 after an electoral circus whose outcome was determined from the start. His only serious competition, former parliamentarian Ahmed Tantawi, was swiftly jailed. Egypt’s secret police, Homeland Security, continued throughout the year targeting all forms and shades of dissent, both online and offline, keeping citizens incarcerated in an endless labyrinth of fabricated casePost too long.

>Again, revolution is often done by a minority never a majority.
True, but popular support is a must. Even if the actual revolt is leaded and organized by a comparable minority.
>They demand to be taken seriously but they have nothing to offer beyond platitudes.
Socialism has a fuckton of things to offer to workers, if you're here you probably know that as well.
>Also, the same way you hate on religion for shiving their message down peoples throats is the same way people feel about your leftism
I understand that, but what's the alternative then? How can you organize with someone you can't talk to? Is this what we've come to? Just passive "let's hope everyone gets The Message™ eventually"?

15 seconds is more than enough to make a solid case for socialism. We must learn marketing strategies and the science behind capturing attention and transmitting a certain feeling or concept, just like capitalists do to sell a product. The problem is that communication campaigns require money and leftists are balkanized in a thousand institutions and also poor.
