Trump administration blocks US wind energy projects in switch to oil and gas
The Trump administration blocked two permitted US wind energy projects from development this week, with an agreement to pay millions of dollars in refunds to the companies behind them if those funds are reinvested in oil and gas. US Department of the Interior officials framed the canceled agreements as a way to “promote US energy security and affordability” by funneling funds “away from intermittent, higher-cost energy sources toward proven conventional solutions”, in an announcement issued on Monday.

Statement of the European Communist Action on May Day 2026
The European Communist Action calls on the working class across Europe and all the popular strata to participate in the working-class mobilizations on May Day —International Workers' Day— and flood the streets to show the organized strength of workers. We honour the heroes and the fallen of our movement, from those in Chicago to the present day. We continue defiantly along the same path! The European Communist Action also calls on the class-oriented organizations and trade unions to strengthen the workers' nature of this day of struggle, as well as the internationalist solidarity in this context of imperialist war. The conditions under which we workers in Europe are approaching this May Day are shaped by the war economy and the escalation of military preparations. Our living standards and labour conditions continue to be worsened with the abolition of collective labour agreements; the deterioration and privatization of public services continue to advance; housing prices continue to rise; and the cost of living, of shopping baskets, of energy, of fuels continue to skyrocket unchecked. At the same time, the offensive against the interests of migrants and working-class women continues driven by racist, sexist, irrational and reactionary views, seeking to divide the working class and to make it accept a war that is alien to its interests as its own.

How can the left fight back? May’s local elections
May’s local elections are shaping up to be a key test match for Britain’s mainstream political parties. Before the starting bell even rings, it’s clear that this is mainly going to be a showdown of Reform versus the Greens; of Nigel Farage versus Zack Polanski. Labour – once upon a time a local elections heavyweight – is floundering on the ropes. Keir Starmer is facing down a minus 47 percent approval rating. And his party is set to receive a bloody nose from voters: projected to lose around 2,000 council seats across England, including many in its former strongholds. It is no mystery why. In the almost two years it’s been in power, the hits have just kept coming for Starmer’s beleaguered partPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

MSS and Chinese Cyber warfare units have a fetish for Mahayana coded tools. It's the PLA that prefers orthodox red naming.

what do we think about making a marxist pure land mural and using this as an object of meditation? i could probably draw something though i usually only draw stuff for hidweh project and i have a particular style

>Red Shambhalla finds it's way to leftypol
Yup! Another proletarian classic!

Considering that the CPC does have Mahayana memes (Qu Qiubai, the constant idealist contamination in CPC leadership), the Chicoms are way more competent at running syncretism toward Mahayana.

In practice, yes more often than not.

Most feminists don't even seem to disagree with patriarchy so long as patriarchy is saying that man bad and woman good.

Feminists would simply take T and hit the squat rack if they actually cared about half the shit they post online. Become unbeatable.

It doesn't matter if he nationalized anything because the proceeds just go to him. He's not a socialist and deserves none of my sympathy, if I lived in Burkina Faso he'd have killed me already. Being anti-French is not enough.

You need unions to protect the working class from the ruling class, period. Unless you co-operativize everything, there's going to be a ruling class - for instance, the state in a nationalized industry. A nationalized firm without a unionized workforce is just state capitalism.

Traore has always seemed to be a man of much "revolutionary" rhetoric but little revolutionary action, and this is another example of that. This is not some nationally-owned factory, but rather the brand at least appears to be the brainchild of Harouna Kaboré, the former Minister of Commerce under President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré — the guy deposed by the present military junta in 2022. This appears to be at best a reorganization of the petty bourgeoisie and disgruntled elements of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie for a more advantageous position among the neo-colonies of Africa, with bureaucratic elements (Traoré) moving away from France in the hopes of a better (but still extractive) deal elsewhere while other petty bourgeois elements (like Kaboré) take the opportunity to start their own small-scale initiatives for personal economic gain.

Dude, they were running secret prisons in occupied Donbass territories, with DNR forces showing the facilities to journalists. People were disappeared there for being critical of Ukraine to any degree.

I'm aware, genuinely what is even remotely unique about this? It's evil of course, but it's far from being out of the ordinary for a country in wartime. Russia does this exact same shit.

Bottom line: the question here is not "Is Ukraine evil?". Of fucking course it is, it's a Capitalist post-Soviet state, no shit it's evil. And it goes without saying that there's a pretty big problem with Nazism in Ukraine, there's no doubt. However, the question here is "Is Ukraine remotely evil enough to justify invading it, killing countless people in the process?". If your answer to this is "Yes" then you're a fucking lunatic. Ukraine is not comitting genocide, it is not annexing its neighbors, it is not exceptionally oppressive compared to other countries, it's just a 3rd world country puppeteered by the West. Putin's solution? Hundreds of thousands of dead proles in exchange for FUCKING NOTHING. What the hell has any of this accomplished? Where is the great victory over oppression? A ton of Ukrainians went from being in Capitalist State #1 to being in Capitalist State #2! Kill yourself if you're supporting this!

>>2796222
So many rhetorical tricks in one post, but the primary one is accusing Russia of something specific, killing “hundreds of thousands of proles”, while Ukraine gets let off with just being called “evil” without specifying what you mean by that.

But presumably you don’t mean much by “evil”, if you think people ought to kill themselves for thinking invading an “evil” state is justified.

I specify Russia as having killed hundreds of thousands of Proles because they're the ones who started the war.
>Ukraine gets let off with just being called “evil” without specifying what you mean by that
I hardly specified why Russia is "Evil" either outside of the context of the war, as that's ultimately the focus. I don't see what there is to gain by droning on about all of the problems of Ukraine. Oligarchic, corrupt, teeming with Nazis, Capitalist, how long do you want me to do this? As I said, the question is NOT "Is Ukraine evil". All countries are evil in any variety of different ways, some more than others. This does not mean that any invasion of that country is justified. In order for a war to be justified it must either be against an entity so evil that to wage war is more merciful than to foster peace (WWII, American Civil War, Palestinian struggle for liberation, Slave revolts, Iran war), or it must be a proletarian war fought on behalf of the workers against the ruling classes (This automatically fits into the prior requirement anyway). The Russian invasion of Ukraine is neither of these.

A true revolutionary who wants to evolve humanity upwards by defeating capitalism and promoting higher ideals can basically use anything to fight fascism and capitalism.

Islam was co opted by fascists for years and then they also somehow assumed all Muslims are brown and anti white.

I believe in basically creating a totalitarian ideology that covers religion and politics for the common man that would replace all the needs for fascism and degeneracy but it's a work in progress.

It's like a blueprint to discover your own true self.

I got a lot of ideas in general though.

But I think it would be cool to infiltrate and subvert these groups. Legally of course.

I know how they work.

what you believe doesn't matter

sounds like a cult

robespierre already had the cult of the supreme being and americans already had their nationalist civic religion, and the romans had something similar and the chinese had confucianism. we have had centuries of "for the people" interclass nonsense.
>that would replace all the needs for fascism and degeneracy
if you think of the world in terms of a binary between fascism and degeneracy you might just be a fascist idiot even if you think you're an "ex-" fascist
>but it's a work in progress.
scientific analysis of material conditions is how you understand the world, the world has too many self appointed geniuses spinning new ideologies out of whole cloth
