Usually people living under communist rule come out as obnoxious anti communist libertarians but she seems more nuanced which is nice

any of you read the book Free: Coming of Age at the End of History

I read an interview or two. The two things that I can remember was how she talked about how the school system was really tough and education was the greatest commodity in communist Albania.

The other thing is how people processed the transition. They were coming out of a situation where you had to be a party member to have any significant career. There was obviously the state security but in fact people bent the rules a lot and so did those guys, so you were working around the system but you knew a guy and he was also bending the rules, and also some of the dissidents themselves could be state spies, and former communists set themselves up as post-communist oligarchs or mafia (or whatever, however it worked in the 1990s) so it wasn't really clear who could be blamed after communism collapsed. So yes, communist Albania did bad things, but it became easier for people to just blame ideology (socialism/communism) and move on, which is unfortunate because capitalism isn't all that it was cracked up to be, and that has benefited right-wing nationalists who have set themselves up as the "alternative" to the status quo.

Transitional Government forces opened fire on protesters
In response to the recent violence in Homs, shots were fired at people who took to the streets in the cities of Homs and Latakia.

In Latakia, the Alevi community held a protest at the Ziraa Junction in response to recent violence and attacks in Homs. However, a group of youths attacked the protesters with stones, who were then shot at, injuring some.

A similar situation occurred in Homs. A group attacked protesters with clubs and knives. During the demonstration, some were injured, and people were fired upon directly.

Following the shooting of demonstrators, military mobilization of government forces is taking place in all cities and districts under the control of the Transitional Government.

Tyson to Close Major Beef Facility, Shafting 3,000 Workers After Boosting Stock Buybacks
The company said late last week that its decision to shutter the Lexington, Nebraska plant and scale back shifts at its Amarillo, Texas facility is “designed to right size its beef business and position it for long-term success” even as beef prices are close to record highs. The Wall Street Journal reported that Tyson and other meatpackers, which are facing federal scrutiny for allegedly colluding to drive up prices, “have been losing hundreds of millions of dollars processing beef because of the lowest amount of cattle on U.S. pastures since the 1950s.”

Who is really behind the ‘Gen Z’ protests in Mexico?
A familiar sight awaited you if you were around the Zocalo of the National Palace of Mexico City on 15 November: One Piece flags, anti-government slogans, and clashes with the police. Has the revolution come? Is Mexico going through a similar uprising to Nepal or Madagascar? But something feels off: the guy holding the flag is 80 – hardly Gen Z. Another is held by a hooded man wearing a huge swastika. The words “Jewish whore,” aimed at President Claudia Sheinbaum, are spray-painted on the National Palace. Vicente Fox, the reactionary ex-president of Mexico, stands beside you in a bad disguise and a One Piece shirt. Almost no young people can be seen for blocks.
What the hell is going on?

Anthem Is Cutting Access to Out-of-Network Doctors
A new policy by the health insurer Anthem will penalize hospitals for using doctors outside of its coverage network. Anthem claims the move is designed to reduce its members’ out-of-pocket costs. But critics argue it will force medical facilities to police physicians’ network status, strong-arm doctors into accepting lower payments from health insurance companies, and could lead to fewer care options for patients. According to the new policy, which will take effect on January 1, Anthem will cut a hospital’s reimbursements by 10 percent whenever the facility submits a claim that includes services from out-of-network providers. Additionally, hospitals that rely on out-of-network service providers will risk “potential termination from Anthem’s networks,” according to Anthem’s notice. The policy will impact plans across eleven states, including Colorado, Georgia, and New Hampshire — all of which are managed by Elevance Health, a multibillion-dollar health company that operates Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans across fourteen states and serves millions of people.

Imageboards have of course been filled with nazis for a fuck ton of time from even the start, but most people agree it mainly started when moot added /news/ then all the chudcels flooded the rest of the site, then created /pol/ and the rest is history.

With that being said, how do we realistically combat the mass grooming of people into nazism through imageboards? The sharty is becoming the new 8chan but with way more cultural influence on the wider internet and the rest of the population is filled with young children, we have already seen solomon (a mass shooter that was a black man yet he was also a white supremacist with sharty connections) commit a mass shooting. With that being said clearly a lot of these young men are isolated and angry, doxxing random literal WHOS because they are trans, or even doing raids that help the federal government because the site is influenced by glowies. They even raided our very booru 2 days ago, and ILLEGAL CONTENT was posted (this was done by foodist nazis not soyteens but still scary that it’s that prevalent with their raids).

And with the thought on raids we can see some of these young people are being groomed into actual pedophile nazi communities but the sharty staff and wiki are so up their asses that they can’t see they have ideological similarities with the nazi foodists and that’s why they surround them.

They have crushed /leftysoy/ and banned many leftists on their wiki including me, I think this is gonna evolve into something much worst if we don’t do anything.

Knowing the real history of American radical left-wing groups, this film is far too generous about their capabilities. In reality, they wouldn’t have killed any political figure higher than a superintendent, would likely have set off a bomb that killed a good portion of their members or been shot dead and arrested if they actually tried fighting against an armed resistance.

The should have included Greenwich Village townhouse explosion

>The Weather Underground had been formed from the remnants of Students for a Democratic Society in June 1969, by about a hundred activists who had come to believe that armed struggle was necessary to reform American society. At that meeting, the Weathermen, who had taken their original name from the line "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" in Bob Dylan's 1965 song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" had discussed what actions they might take, and against what targets. The consensus was that the police and the military were legitimate targets, representing the urban racism that their allies the Black Panthers most strongly opposed, and the Vietnam War. Members present recall that while the topic of whether their actions would necessarily involve taking life was largely avoided, beyond general agreement that they should not do so indiscriminately, their actions would likely kill police officers and military personnel.

>The Weathermen purchased a large quantity of dynamite and a number of electric fuses for $60 ($500 in 2024) in New Hampshire in early March. After a meeting they designated three targets, including a noncommissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix, which was due to take place on March 6. It was reported that "arguments went on day and night" in the townhouse, with Kathy Boudin advocating that they kill as many people as possible with anti-personnel bombs. Diana Oughton reportedly had misgivings, although others present say she never showed them. Wilkerson wrote later that she felt powerless to stop what was going on in her father's house. Theodore Gold threatened to kill one close friend after he had a breakdown over the plan at one gathering.

>None of the Weathermen had experience with explosives, and Robbins and Wilkerson did not even understand the basics of electricity. They worked up a simple timer and trigger device that lacked any safety features, and packed the dynamite with sharp roofing nails. Robbins was unwilling to deviate from the way he had been told to build the bomb, and unwilling to listen to suggestions from anyone else.

>Robbins had chosen the dance at Fort Dix as their target; other reports indicate that only some were intended for the dance, with the rest to be detonated inside the administration building Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>exploitation via the extraction of surplus value as source of profit
But.
It's the price the worker must pay for having a job. The job is value. If you own a bakery and pay the worker the full value for every bread he bakes, you can't buy intrigents, an oven and everything else you need to run a bakerery. You need a minimum of profit to keep it running, don't you?

>>2565345
>If you own a bakery and pay the worker the full value for every bread he bakes, you can't buy intrigents, an oven and everything else you need to run a bakerery.
Right.
>You need a minimum of profit to keep it running, don't you?
Profit isn't sales minus wages. Regular business expenditures are not defined as something that is deducted from profit, rather profit is what remains after these expenditures. Saying "I regularly buy ingredients for my bakery from my profits running the bakery" would be an abuse of language to any accountant, Marxist, and (I hope) most people in general. On the other hand saying "I put my profits into expanding my business" or "I put my profits into a new project" is normal language. The difference is what you really have to do to just keep going and what you don't need to do but choose. The boundary between these two cases can get blurry at times.

Is it possible to be anti-imperialist but at the same time not care about nationalism liberalism movements as these have very little to do with socialism?
