>Burgers here have told me using this situation as a chance to expose burger workers to Marx would be a mistake, they want to "meet people where they are at" instead of correcting the liberal dogma, if
1 tailist retard burger told you that. maybe you can just ignore them. also it's entirely possible to tell people things that come from Marx without telling them it's from Marx. It happens all the time.

thats true, not every pamphlet needs the name of the man on it, but hiding it forever is just silly, how can you expect "the people" to trust your org if you are not open about what you stand for from the start?

Hi I'm the "tailist retard burger" that said to meet people where they're at. I literally told them to do this and they said that's just "lying to the proletariat." Another excuse to just read books and do nothing.

This doesn't actually address the division of mental and physical labor and the town-country contradiction. The anarchy of production is solved by training and hiring engineers in Africa and placing the real mental labor done in the hands of the oppressed. Luckily, the internet makes this shit far easier than before.

>muh amerimuttistan support
all rivals of SDF are pro-amerimutt zion-neolib states as HTS or Turgay, war criminals and bandits who hire children in refugee camps and are aligned with NATO. Victory of SDF in Syria is victory for socialism. PKK supports PRC and SWCC, more 'multipolarista' than avg. libtard faggot. Turkey supports uyghur terrorists and thus deserves to be dismantled

PKK and SDF consistently supported Palestinian resistance far more than any of rival factions, this is a null common complaint from Turkish-aligned anti-rojava cockroaches.

>muh kurd ethnostate

AANES recruits many of arab poor and middle class, the councils in raqqa and arab regions are all arab, only a retarded person can believe so. Approximately 65% of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are Arab troops.

>muh anarkiddies

anarkiddies now support shitkraine and NATO rather than rojava.
What stops you now? Turkish maoists whom fight under SDF think differently from you.

>muh apoist cult

Cult for great revolutionaries such as robiespierre, lenin, makhno(hanged mennonites), stalin, mao zedong is historically progressive.

The Sun Sets on the Syrian Kurdish Rebellion
by Vijay Prashad
https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/the-sun-sets-on-the-syrian-kurdish-rebellion/
>Perhaps if Assad were a better chess player, he would have provoked Turkey by defending the Syrian Kurds, thereby preventing a deal and forcing his Russian allies to provide air support while the Syrian Arab Army entered Idlib to fight the remainder of the HTS and its allies. But Assad began to allow the Russians to do his strategic thinking and therefore conceded a point of strength in the hope that the Turkish government would cease its attempt to overthrow his government.
What I've been saying for years. Realpolitik vindicated. The type of analysis of Ultras and M-Ls who wanted Assad to war with Rojava led to Assad running to Russia and Al-Qaeda taking over whole of Syria.

Saint Lucia has been one of the greatest nations on Earth and probably in all of humanity since the start of drug prohibition and the global genocide on drug associated people. Saint Lucia decriminalized cannabis and drugs are readily avaible for people to enjoy responsibly and so the Saint Lucians do so responsibly, enjoyably and enlighten themselves, more and more are becoming atheist and it is by far one of the most atheistic island nations and one of the more atheist former-colonies, with a successful bourgeois socialdemocratic party triumphing over a christian nationalist party in spite of the country still being mostly christian, this is the power of drugs which are inherently progressive in the development of mankind - science, chemistry, botany and medicine.

It is estimated that Saint Lucia might become majority atheist by the end of this century. Saint Lucia is most certainly on the way towards scientific socialism, real communism ardently combatting reactionism and enlightening itself through responsible substance use. It transcends and triumphs over stalinist-maoist western and false conscious plagued global southener mentality raping their nimble subhuman brains with drug progress and development which they cannot fathom a possibility since their false consciousness is spermed up by Richard Nixon era war on drugs lies and propagnada spread throughout the UN to all bourgeois states most noteably their own bourgeois "communist party" states! Saint Lucia makes the stalinist and maoist contradictory anti-drug conservative reactionary mentality seethe, they seethe so much at Saint Lucia's steady growth towards transhumanism that even Kaczynskite inbred cretin shudder, shiver and convulse.

"Bait, Didn't read, AI post, Druggie drivel…" - they sure did not read, as the success of Saint Lucia goes onward and up the mentally challanged conservative national socialists known as stalinists and maoists ignore the success, it only lets it continue and even if they were not to ignore it, they cannot do anything to prevent it from their basements.

But to those who read and understood, welcome.

Saint Lucia ought to be a republic.

The critiques stop reading after the 22nd word because of their primitive image recognition prompting auto brain diarrhea response.

>>2671431
What will follow in the thread is more fruitless anti-scientific "debate" parroting prohibitionist propaganda driven by false consciousness in the core belief of the critics that makes their regressive less than developing brains that they are opposing "something bad / harmful / evil" when they themselves are the harm, evil, bad elements of the world in fact opposing the most beneficiary and necessary things needed for humanity to develop and proliferate - repulsed at the idea of "responsibile use" since they falsely believe by false consciousness that it is entirely harmful and holds no benefits. No debate to be had with them. Insult when confronted is the easiest solution and mirror the threats back.

>>2671437
History proves them wrong but since they reject reality and claim that the other side (using substances) is the one rejecting reality instead of utilizing what reality offers to be utilized in varying individual cases in varying ways - responsible or not, they will instead brain fart a lot, rage much, tap keyboard threats to try to show themselves smug on the internet while gnawing their lips in tard anger. For the latter is false consciousness and the former is a choice that varies on intent (informed, uninformed, responsible, irresponsible - such things which false consciousness driven critics will never distinguish between).

Muhdik, muh sawces, as they proceed to quote the latest bourgeois science and even bourgeouis governments, a couple of times that I caught them sourcing the NHI lead to later denialism that they dindu that! But if it comes that there is some truth to some bourgeois science "i.e. the sky is blue" of course they will not accept it, but instead go full contrarian and deny it, even if it were non-biased i.e. a thing that has benefits - "discovered to have benefits" by bourgeois scientists being late to admit their mistakes as always.

So can someone tell me what exactly the issue is with guild socialism?

Seems to me that its got the general right idea, i disagree with it a little bit on some things but i don't fundamentally disagree with what i can find of its ideas.


Guilds have historically acted to delay improvements in means of production that would impact the income of their members. It’s similar to why most Western trade unions are reactionary.

>>2671451
>acted to delay improvements in means of production that would impact the income of their members

Have there been any studies done deconstructing the left-to-right ("Saul-to-Paul") political conversion narrative that the right-wing loves to throw around?

I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson. I'm obviously talking about Americans here but I'm sure you can name plenty of examples from other countries. What psychological factors cause someone to abandon leftism and fully embrace the right, and even worse, turn on their former comrades?

Is it simply the case that they upheld leftism as a dogma, so when their "god" died they found another god? Is it because they were always authoritarian assholes and embraced the right when the right gave them a better outlet for being authoritarian assholes? Was it because they found that the left was moving in a direction they didn't approve of, so they gradually became rightist? Or, using the narrative they themselves most often parrot, they felt "betrayed" by the left so in turn they betrayed the left?

Also, why do we rarely see any prominent right-wingers turning to the left?

I'm petty bourgeois but I became commie (anarcho-syndicalist / council communist, tankies will probably say that doesn't count tho). As for right wing grifters rarely becoming commie, well that's because that is their whole schtick, you generally don't have anything to gain by being commie as a PR stunt and if you're haute bourgeois you may as well be apolitical because it would be impossible to relate to the masses.

>>2664792
One thing I will say about people in anarchist spaces is how many of them seem to have narcissistic mothers. Many times they’ll say they became anarchists largely because they were fed up at how many expectations their moms placed on them and how their anger towards their mothers were the first step in them questioning hierarchical authority. It makes sense then that their mothers’ narcissistic tendencies would rub off on them.

>>2670035
The family dynamic is usually narc mother + socially inept father. No idea why so many socially inept douchebags are attracted to narcissists.

>>2649015
Interesting how a lot of these people detected from the left after becoming Christian.

>>2670035
its funny that you mention narcissistic parents since my father allegedly exhibited NPD characteristics(ofc this is just other family members with no medical knowledge making these allegations) and I was a self-identified AnCom throughout high school until getting some more life experience and reading some more theory. I could definitely see narcissistic helicopter parents causing Anarchism to have some more appeal to there kids but what really set me down the path of anarchism and marxism was being really into the environment and realizing a healthy ecosystem and "healthy" capitalist economy are incompatible with one another. That being said I haven't really organized in anarchist spaces so I can't really speak on them sharing traits with their Nmoms.

Pretty cool how in The Condition of the Working Class in England you can tell from Engels' writing that his sensibilities are kinda bigoted but his own critical analysis forces him to change his view. Too bad the average online "communist" can only use "marxism" to do epic quotemines instead of using the tools it provides to analyze society.

Budapest mayor charged for organising banned Pride march
Mr Karacsony was charged with organising the unlawful assembly despite a prohibition order, the Budapest Chief Prosecutor’s Office said. It recommended that be fined without a trial. Prosecutors said that the mayor had made “repeatedly published public calls to participate in the assembly and then led the assembly.”

Dutch parties strike minority coalition deal three months after D66 election upset
The liberal-progressive, pro-European party, led by the probable new prime minister, Rob Jetten, will join up with the conservative Christian Democrats and the right-wing VVD in a government that holds only 66 seats in the 150-seat lower house. The new coalition shuts out the far-right Freedom party (PVV), led by the anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders, which D66 narrowly defeated in the tight October election. Both parties won 26 seats, although seven PVV MPs have since broken away.

Senate Democrats reportedly reach deal to avert partial government shutdown
The deal, if confirmed, would avert a partial shutdown that would have affected many of the governments function. However, it would not stop a temporary lapse in funding for DHS, because any changes to the DHS funding bill would have to be approved by the House of Representatives, which is out of session until Monday. The impact of such a lapse was not immediately clear.

Patel defends FBI raid as Georgia officials demand answers
Local officials vehemently objected to the search, saying it amounts to retaliation by President Trump's allies over his 2020 election loss and subsequent election interference case. The search came months after the five-year statute of limitations for federal crimes expired in late 2025. Patel dismissed the concern in comments a day after the search, saying it was conducted in a "timely fashion legally."

Layoffs are piling up, heightening worker anxiety. Here are the biggest recent cuts
On Tuesday, United Parcel Service said it plans to cut up to 30,000 operational jobs this year — notably as the package company continues to reduce the number of Amazon shipments it handles amid wider turnaround efforts. UPS said these cuts will be made through a voluntary buyout offer for full-time drivers and attrition. The reductions come on top of a combined 48,000 job cuts that the company disclosed in 2025. Late last year, Tyson Foods said it would be closing a plant that employed 3,200 people in Lexington, Nebraska — bringing job losses for nearly a third of the small town's population of 11,000.

If Cuba falls, the Global South is to blame, too
On Tuesday, United States President Donald Trump had a good laugh with members of the press in the US state of Iowa as he issued a rather serious decree regarding the short-term future of Cuba: “Cuba will be failing pretty soon. Cuba is really a nation that’s very close to failing.” To be sure, this is not the first time that Trump has predicted the downfall of the Caribbean island nation, which the US has effectively been trying to destroy for no fewer than 67 years – ever since the triumph in 1959 of Cuba’s communist revolution that overthrew the brutal right-wing dictator and US buddy Fulgencio Batista. This time around, however, the threat carries a bit more weight in light of the Trump administration’s abduction earlier this month of Nicolas Maduro, the leftist president of Venezuela. To date, the US has not been held accountable for this utterly illegal and patently batty act, which Trump on Tuesday invoked as alleged proof of Cuba’s impending demise: “You know, they got their money from Venezuela. They got the oil from Venezuela. They are not getting that any more.” One would hope, then, that other countries – particularly the self-declared allies of Cuba – might step up to defend the island against US predations or at least credibly register their opposition to imperial impunity. Instead, all Cuba has really gotten are some perfunctory professions of support – such as from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who, like her ostensibly leftist predecessor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has perfected the art of pretending to counter US machinations while doing exactly what the gringos want.

Brutal austerity and unprecedented strike wave shatters Belgian social model
