A comrade i respect says the Shining Path is "interesting" and the massacres are CIA propaganda.

From what i remember, Gonzalo and his followers were nutjobs (equaling Gonzalo with Marx Lenin Mao…) but it's not like I know much about it outside of a BadEmpenada video.
Is there any good faith arguments for Gonzalo thought ?
Does Shining Path guerrila hold any merits ?
Actual reading recommandations appreciated

Labour told to scrap 50% strike ballot and link to e-balloting
NASUWT general secretary Matt Wrack said if the 50 per cent threshold applied in public elections, many of the current cabinet would not be in Parliament, telling delegates in Brighton that it was “scandalous” that Britain was in breach of various International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions on industrial action.

‘Proven Leaders and Voices of Clarity’: Progressives Urge Ocasio-Cortez and Khanna to Enter 2028 Presidential Race =
Two progressive advocacy organizations Monday called on Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) to enter the 2028 presidential race, singling them out as “proven leaders and voices of clarity.” Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) and RootsAction announced an initiative aimed at lobbying the two congressional progressives to put their hats in the ring for the presidency, arguing they offer a much-needed alternative to establishment Democrats too eager to do the bidding of corporate interests.

Promises, Promises: AOC, Israel, and the DSA
Eager to maintain her image as a left populist as well as the patina of democratic socialism that comes with a DSA endorsement, AOC is changing her tune. After eight years of supporting Israel, she has now vowed to oppose all military funding to the country and promised to oppose any legislation that equates ant-Zionism with antisemitism. But her newfound political clarity on the state of Israel is too little too late. In fact, even a cursory reading of her public statement shows that she is — as the soviets used to say — trying to sit on two chairs with one ass. AOC wants to signal to the DSA that she is willing to vote against additional funding for the Iron Dome while still making it clear to her Democratic colleagues that she supports the defense of Israel and the Zionist and imperialist project the missile system helps to maintain.

Erik Houdini:Butt-Rock Hauntology, Nu Metal Nostalgia
Why are right-wing accounts suddenly nostalgic for Puddle of Mudd, one of the worst bands of the 2000s? This essay explores how the reactionary longing for a "pure" white rock past erases nu-metal's true multiracial, working-class roots. Hauntology is the anti-nostalgia because it is predicated on examining what was lost by past futures, not envisioning the past as a superior future. Are we nostalgic about nu-metal? Or do we see the multi-racial working class background of the artists who produced it, along with its current revival, as producing insights into a future that never came? It seems like a pseudo-intellectual difference, but you can see how it manifests within the discourse. That’s the thing with nostalgia. It is typically framed as a look at what they took from you, but seldom is "they" defined, and it is predicated on an idea that the past was more pure than the present or the future could ever be. It is deeply anti-material, acting on a baseline emotion that capitalism causes. When you participate in the capitalist economy, you cannot help but feel despair for this reality we are forced to drudge through. When you were a child in 1996 and someone bought you an N64 and Ocarina of Time, you were not aware that the climate was collapsing or that most species Post too long.

For marx, the asiatic mode of production is about the state monopoly on land ownership, and the apparent lack of division between town and country that was in asiatic society, where the ones doing agriculture and early industry where living in the same places, unlike feudal serfs (also control over irrigation)
It is a concept that has been mostly rejected by any contemporary marxists, including those in the soviet union, with some rebranding it the "tributary" mode of production, where the governing body exerce total control over vital sectors and lord over peasants without tying them to the land

Genuine question. Why do left-wing anti-imperialists in general celebrate 10/7, but condemn 9/11? If you read some of what Yahya Sinwar has said, his reasoning was very similar to OBL's. Big attack meant to ignite a wider war, break the status quo of arab states' collaboration with the occupiers and make the world turn against the US (for OBL) and Israel (for Sinwar).

(On the last point, OBL genuinely thought 9/11 would get Americans to turn against their government like with Vietnam which is laughable. Yahya Sinwar was at least correct that 10/7 slowed arab normalization with Israel and severely damaged its reputation worldwide.)

it's not about hamas an al qaeda it has to do with seeing america as deserving 9/11 and seeing israel as deserving 10/7. nobody in their right mind would dispute that america and israel are le bad but it's shortsighted to see these events only in terms of their immediate effects because as already pointed out the blowback from these events resulted in the deaths of way more random middle eastern civilians who had nothing to do with it.

It's time someone said it: Engels was dead wrong in "on the housing question", especially in a US context.

<During the 1870s, a major polemical debate unfolded in Germany’s worker/democratic press on the shortage of housing available to workers in major industrial centres. The influx and increase of the proletariat created a housing crisis. On June 26 1872, Engels contributed the first of a series of articles to the Volksstaat, entitled “The Housing Question.” The last appeared on February 22 1873. Engels’ central point was that the revolutionary class policy of the proletariat cannot be replaced by a policy of reforms, because "it is not that the solution of the housing question simultaneously solves the social question, but that only by the solution of the social question, that is, by the abolition of the capitalist mode of production, is the solution of the housing question made possible." The series criticizes Proudhonism (and petty-bourgeois socialism in general, including Lassalleanism). It also discusses things like the nature of the State, the dictatorship of the proletariat, the eradication of the antithesis between town and country, the solution of the agrarian problem, forms of the socialist reconstruction of society and the tasks of the proletarian party.


Engels argued against other socialists like Proudhon and Emil Sax who argued that widespread working class home ownership was the solution to the housing crisis. Engels actually classified Sax's scheme as "bourgeois socialism" because it aimed state intervention at ameliorating class consciousness without altering overall class relations that much, by "bourgeois-fying" the proletariat through home ownership.

Engels denies that workers even want land and also thinks that if workers owned houses the bourgeoisie will just lower their wages by the amount of the rent they no longer have to pay.

In his haste to prove these non revolutionary class reconciliation schemes can't work and only socialist revolution can actually resolve the contradictions of housing under capitalism. Perhaps that it true in the long run, but that may be centuries. Engels concedes, essentially, that working class homeowners, while not capitalist, are also non proletarian:

>Capital is the command over the unpaid labor of others. The house of the worker can only become capital therefore if he rents it to a third person an

UAE campaign used AI Claude to target Muslim Brotherhood and Sudan
The US corporation said that a “single actor” used its AI assistant, Claude, to conduct a “coordinated transatlantic and regional operation to dismantle the Muslim Brotherhood globally”.
This single actor also used the AI tool to build a campaign to influence perceptions of the United Arab Emirates' involvement in the war in Sudan, where Abu Dhabi backs the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary group widely accused of committing genocide in Darfur.
The UAE-directed campaign built a network of approximately 300 “inauthentic influencer social media accounts” to try and shape discourse around the Muslim Brotherhood, the war in Sudan and the UN, Anthropic said.
The single actor used Claude to create a “front NGO that copied a real Swiss organisation’s identity and published state-authored human rights reports under it”, as well as ghost writing official testimonies with the “goal of having them delivered by two people at the 62nd session of the UN Human Rights Council”.

Enjoy Comrades, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), 🤔? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab mPost too long.

Attempted Coup: Niger junta still in control, but situation remains tense

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/906327-attempted-coup-niger-junta-still-in-control-but-situation-remains-tense.html

>On Saturday, Niger Republic came under an attack by mutineers who attempted to seize power from the junta led by Abdourahamane Tchiani. After fighting that lasted for hours, Mr Tchiani’s government still remains in power.


>The mutinous soldiers took the regime by surprise, besieging and holding sway over the Diori Hamani International Airport and Air Base 101. They also attempted to breach the fortified perimeter of the presidential palace. The attack briefly disrupted the state television and radio broadcasts.


>Footage seen by our reporter showed armed soldiers, tactical armoured vehicles and troops securing the streets of Niamey. The mutineers seized control of Air Base 101, the paratroopers’ camp and other positions near the international airport.


>The mutineers released a statement from the air base, announcing that Mr Tchiani was no longer the head of state. The statement, signed under the name of Armed Forces for the Restoration of the Fatherland, also announced the dissolution of the constitution, border closure and restriction of movement.


>While the fighting continued, it was reported that the head of the junta requested the intervention of Africa Corps, a Russian-backed mercenary group which has entrenched itself in Sahelian states led by military rulers.

'The crowd shouted that we'd stolen someone's genitals' - deadly rumours spread on social media

More than 80 people were killed between October 2025 and July this year following false accusations about what is termed "genital theft", the BBC Global Disinformation Unit has found after gathering data from police forces across six African countries.
The killings are linked to rumours that a simple tap on the shoulder can cause a man's genitals to shrink or disappear. They are being fuelled by widespread misinformation on social media.
Such claims are rooted in longstanding fears and superstitions - and are not new on the continent, particularly in communities where belief in witchcraft remains widespread. Social media has amplified these fears.
The recent wave of rumours appears to have started last year in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where similar claims had surfaced in 2008.
They progressively spread across the region to Burundi, Zambia and Tanzania as well as Mozambique, Angola, Malawi and Kenya.

TotalEnergies Fast-Tracks Angola Oil Find, Expands Exploration Footprint
TotalEnergies announced a new oil discovery at the Acacia-5 well on Block 17 offshore Angola and plans to bring the project into production just three months after the June find, adding 6,000 barrels per day through the Pazflor FPSO. The company also signed agreements with ANPG to acquire 40% operated interests in exploration Blocks 17/25 and 32/21 in the Lower Congo Basin. This marks TotalEnergies' second exploration success in Angola in 2026, following a Block 0 discovery with Chevron. The company has operated in Angola since 1953, and the country contributed 156,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day to its 2025 production. Chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said the moves reflect confidence in Angola's offshore potential and the effectiveness of investment incentives. TotalEnergies shares edged higher on the news, outperforming a weaker broader market.

How Angola Turned Production Decline into a $70B Upstream Investment Drive
After more than a decade of falling crude output, Angola is beginning to reverse the trajectory that once threatened its status as one of Africa’s largest oil producers. Production has stabilized at around 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd), supported by offshore developments, exploration campaigns and one of the continent’s most aggressive upstream reform programs.

Angola touts a post-oil economy, even as high crude prices power its rebound
Angola is billing itself as a nation weaning off crude, after year-on-year inflation eased to 10.11% in June and the government projected in its 2026 budget that non-oil revenue would outstrip oil revenue for the first time on record.
The pitch, laid out by Minister of State for Economic Coordination José de Lima Massano at a July gathering of the ruling MPLA’s parliamentary group in Soyo, rests on a genuine disinflation story. Consumer prices rose 10.1Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
