Nice argument, unfortunately hijab laws were laxed and de facto removed from major urban areas following the 2022 protests when they began to threaten the longevity of the bourgeois state.

Similar thing happened in Saudi Arabia when social norms had to transform to accommodate the economic reality.

These two cases come down to one fundamental reason: the international character of capital and it's inevitable domination of the superstructure (what libs call globalisation) this is a progressive development that brings the workers of the world even closer. Even Afghanistan, what appears like centuries old reaction, is coming to terms with it thanks to its liberal capitalist base.

Workers of the world unite.

6 Federal Prosecutors Resign as Trump DOJ Pushes for Investigation Into Renee Good’s Wife
A top prosecutor in the US attorney’s office in Minnesota who for years oversaw a major fraud investigation in the state was among six federal prosecutors who resigned Tuesday as the Trump administration demanded they investigate Becca Good, the widow of the Minneapolis resident who was killed by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent last week.

EPA proposes limiting power of states and tribes to block major projects over water concerns
The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed limiting states’ and Native American tribes’ power to wield the Clean Water Act to block major projects like natural gas pipelines, advancing the Trump administration’s goal of accelerating the construction of new fossil fuel infrastructure and data centers.

Cold weather and data centres drive up US greenhouse gas emissions
Last year homes burned more gas for heating while the use of coal surged by 13% to meet rising electricity demands, the data finds. Although solar power also shot up last year, overall, greenhouse gas emissions went up by 2.4% after two years of decreases, outpacing the level of economic growth, according to estimates from the Rhodium Group. The authors say the policies of the Trump administration didn't "meaningfully impact" the rise in emissions but they expect this to change in the coming years.

Tudeh Party of Iran, Iran on the Brink of Potentially Devastating Transformations: The Urgent Need for Immediate Action to Save the Country from Dictatorship
It must be stated clearly once again that the outbreak of the current protest uprising and its expansion over the past 15 days are rooted directly in the rapid spread of poverty, inequality, and blatant injustice, as well as corruption and the wealth accumulation of a small minority as a result of the government’s economic policies over the past three decades—not in demands for the return of monarchy or the restoration of royal rule. Moreover, alongside the heroic struggle of hundreds of thousands of people against despotism and class oppression, it is evident that certain organized elements and groups, through acts of sabotage and violence, are attempting to pave the way for direct intervention by the United States and its allies in the course of the current protests. In this way, the catastrophic consequences of the ruling theocratic regime’s domestic policies, combined with the devastating impact of U.S. sanctions on people’s lives and livelihoods, have placed the country today in an extremely difficult situation. Imperialist media outlets, once again relying on their vast resources and capabilities, have launched propaganda campaigns and disseminated fabricated narratives aimed at restoring the monarchy. They are attempting to ride the wave of the people’s legitimate protests and divert the anti-dictatorship movement from its true path. On the one hand, these media provide an excuse for regime leaders to label the people’s protest uprising as the work of the United States and Israel; on the other hand, by exaggerating monarchist currents, they seek to create obstacles in the process of building unity and practical coordination among progressive and national forces.

ya know once you type it out like that I can understand why all this talk of technofeudalism is in vogue even if this just a particular model of neoliberalism. The one silverlining with the reactoid gun hoarders is a lot of them forgot to hoard the supplies necessary for food and water or actually learn much of anything about bushcraft or survivalism past gun ownership. the anti-silver lining of that is if shit hits the fan these people will probably just murderhobo with the police.

un-marxist vulgar materialism.

“Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language."

in dialectical materialism, there is a dialogue, or dialectic, between the mind and the material world; marx does not reject the existence of the mental aspect of reality, rather by 'turning Hegel on his head' he simply assigns the material aspect of reality the greater share of causal power, it is an imbalanced relationship in favor of the material over the mental, without completely discounting the mental.

Almost 15,000 nurses walked off the job in New York City, demanding better working conditions, marking the largest nurses’ strike in the city’s history as contract negotiations failed to gain traction. Workers walked off the job early on Monday morning across three private hospital systems in the largest city in the US, Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian.

Minnesota and the Twin Cities sue the federal government to stop the immigration crackdown
Minnesota and its two largest cities sued the Trump administration Monday to try to stop an immigration enforcement surge that led to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal officer and evoked outrage and protests across the country. The state, joined by Minneapolis and St. Paul, said the Department of Homeland Security is violating the First Amendment and other constitutional protections. The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order to halt the enforcement action or limit the operation.

Peter Thiel makes $3m donation to fight California’s proposed billionaire tax
The ballot proposal, called 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, is still in the beginning stages of gathering the 900,000 signatures needed for it to go to voters in November. If voted into law, it would levy a one-time, 5% tax on anyone in the state worth more than $1bn and grant a five-year period for payment. Thiel would owe the state roughly $1.3bn based on his current net worth.

Tudeh Party of Iran, Long live the dynamic, encompassing, and heroic uprising of the Iranian people against the dictatorship of Ali Khamenei
The popular protest uprising, which began with protests and strikes in Tehran's bazaar, has rapidly spread over the past 13 days to dozens of cities and towns across the country and now poses a major challenge to the ruling dictatorship. Contrary to the claims of the ruling dictator, this popular protest movement is not a creation of US imperialism or the genocidal Israeli regime, but rather the direct result of the disastrous economic policies of the ruling grand-capitalist system, and the widespread corruption, insecurity, and sweeping oppression imposed upon the nation by the leaders of the regime and their collaborators. Throughout Iran's contemporary history - including during the more than half-century rule of the Pahlavi monarchy [1925 - 1979] - we have borne witness to countless other examples of such oppression, corruption, plunder, as well as the eventual fate of the regimes responsible.

Under Imperialism, there is no “International Law”
The widespread claim that recent imperialist bluntness, epitomized by the Trump doctrine, has “destroyed international law” rests on a false premise: that such a law ever existed as a binding, neutral framework above imperialism. From a Marxist-Leninist standpoint, this belief is not an error of detail but a fundamental ideological illusion. Imperialism has never been restrained by international law. On the contrary, what is called “international law” has always been a secondary product of imperialist relations, tolerated only insofar as it served monopoly interests and discarded whenever it ceased to do so. The present moment, marked by open treaty violations, contempt for institutions, and unapologetic coercion, does not signal a descent into barbarism. It signals the collapse of the ideological form through which barbarism was previously administered. Any serious discussion must begin with the MarxistPost too long.

Trump declares national emergency to shield Venezuelan oil cash
The order defines "Foreign Government Deposit Funds" as Venezuelan government funds in designated Treasury accounts that come from the sale of natural resources or diluents. Any "attachment, judgment, decree, lien, execution, garnishment, or other judicial process" against those funds is "prohibited, and shall be deemed null and void," unless specifically licensed, Trump said in the order.

Federal judge blocks White House freeze of childcare subsidies in Democratic states
The states of California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York argued that a policy announced on Tuesday to freeze billions of dollars in funds for three grant programs was having an immediate impact on them and creating “operational chaos”. In court filings and a hearing earlier on Friday, the states contended that the government did not have a legal reason for withholding the money from them.

The Communist Party of Turkey on the bloodbath in Syria's Aleppo: "This is what you created, it's yours!"
"The imperialist program implemented in Syria through the interventions of the United States first and foremost, along with the United Kingdom, Israel, and Turkey, has brought the country to the brink of a new phase of destruction and catastrophe. The advance of jihadist forces, particularly HTS, has targeted Kurdish neighborhoods and civilian settlements in Aleppo, further deepening the humanitarian crisis unfolding across the country. We have repeatedly stated that it is neither possible nor intended that the jihadist HTS regime — utterly devoid of legitimacy — should establish real sovereignty over the country. Al Jolani, who was installed by imperialist powers in the aftermath of the counter-revolution, has no right to decide how any community living in Syria should live, nor to intervene in their lives or speak on their behalf. For this reason, HTS’s intervention in Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo is illegitimate and unacceptable. Nevertheless, those who hypocritically beat the drums of war while deliberately ignoring Jolani’s identity and the jihadist–collaborationist line he represents are also, indirectly, lending support to the imperialist trap into which Turkey is being gradually drawn.

The Iranian uprising is at a very crucial stage
According to informed sources, demonstrations have spread to 150 cities and 600 towns across all 31 provinces of Iran during the past twelve days, including the western provinces of Ilam, Kermanshah and Lorestan. Several towns, along with the city of Abadan, are reported to be no longer under government control and are now in the hands of the people. The protest that began on 27 December was triggered by the sharp decline in the national currency. This development made it harder for the government to address the concerns raised by citizens and protesters. In addition, the government announced the end of a subsidised exchange rate for importers, a decision that has already caused grocery prices to rise sharply. LPost too long.
