Lying is a bad idea, but I don't think you have to make communist symbolism central to the hypothetical Movement. I don't think the aims of socialism are that disagreeable to the average person as long as it doesn't involve establishing stalinism again or whatever. The key issue here is trust between the Movement and the workers, as well as confidence of the workers in their own strength. Another thing Marxists struggle to understand with their disdain for liberalism is the fact that society doesn't take kindly to party hegemony over politics. Many of the countries in the former Warsaw Pact face worse living standards than they did under AES yet they are more stable now. That's partially because capitalism and bourgeois society is not held together by a party of individuals or a single ideology that can be blamed for everything that happens in these countries. If socialism ever makes a comeback, it will be based on a constitution instead of a party.

You guys are retarded Fidel Castro up until he had power. He told everybody that he's not a communist and that he has no marxism in his ideas. Even in New York times, reporter who went up into the mountains with them for a long period of time, he did not believe they were communists or Marxist. It was not till after he got power that he said that he does believe in Marxism and that he's a communist

So it's like hilarious for some of you to say that this is unheard of or anti-communist to do. You guys really need to read up on history. It's evident that many of you don't read whatsoever

US Department of Labor reports 5,070 US workers killed on the job in 2024
A recent article in DCReport by Jordan Barab, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor under Obama, criticizes the administration’s proposed FY 2026 budget for federal worker safety agencies. Barab notes, “The job safety budget is just $3.68 per worker,” adding, “If budgets are the monetary expression of an organization’s values, Trump’s message to workers is: Drop dead.”

Cuban man’s death at El Paso tent camp was result of “spontaneous use of force,” ICE says
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials this week reported that the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at a detention facility in El Paso was the result of the staff’s “spontaneous use of force” to “prevent him from harming himself.” Officials quietly updated the cause of death after previously declaring last month that the man died of “medical distress.”

Hundreds of students suspended, schools under close watch over anti-ICE walkouts
Such anti-ICE or “ICE out” walkouts have increasingly popped up after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were shot and killed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis last month. But experts say leaving school grounds is not a form of protest protected under the First Amendment for students, and Republican leaders are warning of consequences for those who participate.

DIANE ABBOTT: The priority should be a plan for growth
THERE are widespread reports that the Chancellor Rachel Reeves will not introduce any tax or spend measures in the Spring Statement on March 3. This would be a mistake. The G7 economies are struggling and the British economy is among the worst. We are effectively stagnating, and unemployment is rising. This is no time for passivity. The economy is failing to deliver for the population, while the turmoil in British politics reflects that. Of course, any commitment not to make things worse for workers and the poor would be welcome. Doing nothing would be an improvement on the last two Reeves’s Budgets, which deepened the austerity that the Tories had bequeathed. It is amazing to me that it is ever disputed that this government has implemented austerity. This was the government that carried out the stealth tax of freezing income tax thresholds, raised energy prices and fares, pushed council tax higher and imposed sub-inflation pay rises in the public sector.

Israel’s Economy Has Problems, but It’s Not Collapsing Yet
In the last quarter of 2023, Israel was simultaneously reeling from the shock and trauma of the October 7 Hamas attack on the cities and kibbutzim of the Gaza Envelope and mobilizing for a campaign of revenge and retaliation. Over 200,000 Israelis were evacuated from communities bordering the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, and some 300,000 reservists were mobilized. In the following months, the Israeli economy was dislocated. Consumer spending, imports, and exports declined dramatically. Ultimately, nearly 50,000 businesses went bankrupt. Meanwhile, Israel’s global brand is in the trash can. Its genocidal campaign in Gaza put it in bad odor among progressive circles worldwide and across much of the Global South. But the economic disruption that Israel has experienced to date has been manageable for its leaders.

>why is agriculture and mining subject to marginal effects (ground rent) but spinning and weaving supposedly are not? the simplest explanation is that both groups are subject to the same law
the marginalism of labour inputs is applied with the law of diminishing returns on each commodity produced. marx acknowledges this in capital vol. 1, chapter 1, where he says that technology lowers the value of commodities in proportion to output:
<The introduction of power-looms into England probably reduced by one-half the labour required to weave a given quantity of yarn into cloth. The hand-loom weavers, as a matter of fact, continued to require the same time as before; but for all that, the product of one hour of their labour represented after the change only half an hour’s social labour, and consequently fell to one-half its former value.

>the marginalism of labour inputs is applied with the law of diminishing returns on each commodity produced. marx acknowledges this in capital vol. 1, chapter 1, where he says that technology lowers the value of commodities in proportion to output
that's the opposite of a marginal effect. marginal effects increase the value of a commodity. this is the essence of ground rent. but, investment lowers the value of a commodity. the latter is what Marx is saying in your quote. both effects are neatly covered by optimization theory. it can be summarized thusly:
>value is marginal in the absence of technical change
the value of a commodity goes up the more commodities are produced
>technical change brings about economics of scale
the value of a commodity goes down the more commodities are produced
both statements above are true. it's dialectical you see

You're not getting it. AI that is cognitively capable of selling itself is labour. It's not capital like a rented machine. The same AI is also capable of being a capitalist. I am really disturbed by how the board has retreated into pedantry over this. Refusal to concede that artificial labour is here is ceding the issue to the Epstein class.

PJAK Co-Chair on Iran Protests, Israel Ties, Pahlavi, and Regime Change
After the rapid geopolitical shifts in the region post-October 7th, 2023, the Middle East is undergoing significant change, with Iran and Kurdistan at its core. Protests demanding regime change have spread across Iran, especially in Kurdish areas, amidst communication blackouts and reports of mass arrests and killings.

In this in-depth interview, Rebaz Majeed, contributor to The Amargi, speaks with Amir Karimi, the Co-Chair of the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), from the mountains of Kurdistan on the Iran-Iraq border, a region permeated by PJAK guerrillas.

Drawing on the principles of the Kurdish struggle and the philosophy of Democratic Confederalism, Karimi argues that the current unrest is shaped by the disintegration of the rigid 20th-century nation-state system. He assesses the crisis of the Islamic Republic, discusses the crucial opportunity this presents for the Kurdish cause, and outlines the necessity of creating a democratic space in the future Iran led by the peoples' power.

In this video, we explore:

Are the events in the Middle East a threat to the Kurds or can they be an opportunity to advance the Kurdish cause?
PJAK's assessment of the remaining lifespan of the Islamic Republic of Iran's regime and what awaits Eastern Kurdistan.
What prompted the political parties of Eastern Kurdistan to issue a recent joint statement and agree on a common political framework?
Have Israel, America, and European countries recently contacted PJAK for political or diplomatic relations?
How PJAK can protect its independent decision-making from PKK influence despite being heavily affected by the theses of Abdullah Öcalan.
What is the geographical distribution of PJAK's organizational and guerrilla force in Iran, and why is their focus on "quality over quantity?"

I'm a Muslim and I never read any mention of capitalism in the Quran. However, Islamists mostly backed by gulf money, invented le Islamic economics less than a century ago and it is condemned as liberalism by every non-state sponsored Muslim economist and Imam.

Wrong. Islam forbids exploitation. Iran is a revolutionary Islamic People's Democratic Dictatorship. That is why working peoples support Iran Revolution and imperialist speak ill of it

Speaking as an MIA volunteer, you really can't accuse the organization of being owned / run / dominated by Trotskyists at this point in time. They sort of were back in the site's glory days of 1998-2003ish, when a lot of the front-facing editorial content was drawn up; there was never a partisan commitment to Trotskyism, but a majority of volunteers were Trotskyists (or more often ex-Trotskyists; refugees from collapsed Trot parties like Gerry Healy's WRP played an outsize role), and the collective did not object to editorial content denigrating "Stalin and Mao" specifically.

Nowadays tho, I can say that there are several seemingly Marxist-Leninist volunteers active, and everyone, even the professed Trotskyists, tend to treat Soviet-model states with a less judgmental stance in new editorial content. I can't say anything more specific than that because there isn't much in the way of a collective editorial policy at all these days: everyone tends to their own little private plot of webpages, while the Steering Committee email list stays silent for weeks at a time.

It isn't the job of communists to defend traditions and culture, quite the opposite in fact. Avanti barbari, and all that.

Exactly why so many so-called communists believe that preserving half-dead, forgotten cultures is a goal for the labour movement is absolutely incomprehensible to me. As if you can just will a culture into existence, or insist that it survive.

Ich komm mit der Mayasache wirklich nicht klar. In der Szene scheint es eine Alternativrealität zu geben, in welcher gar nichts vorgefallen war und Maya deshalb als politisch Gefangener angesehen wird, welcher willlürlich verhaftet wurde. So zumindest die Sprecher auf den Berlin-Demos. Sobald man den Versuch zum Diskurs startet und versehentlich "Hammerbande" sagt, ist man direkt ein Propagandaopfer. Jetzt frage ich mich natürlich: Stehe ich auf dem Schlauch, oder diese Leute?
