Inside Greenpeace USA's fight for its life
The group is facing possible bankruptcy if a judgment holds up finding that Greenpeace owes hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to the oil pipeline company Energy Transfer.

Millions of Floridians’ utility bills will soon go up.
The Florida Public Service Commission approved the rate increase Thursday for Florida Power & Light, the state’s largest power company, over the strong objections of advocates for the elderly, conservation groups, and the state-appointed advocate for Florida ratepayers, who called the proposal “disproportionately favorable” to corporate interests.

Welcome to the Jungle: An Interview with a Fighter of the Anti-Fascist International Front in Myanmar
Since the coup, the opposition has made impressive territorial gains and victories, such as the five-month-long Battle of Falam in the Chin State. Currently, the military controls about 21 percent of the country, while anti-regime forces and EAOs control around 42 percent, with the rest currently being contested. The most recent mass casualty event of the war happened on October 6, 2025 when regime forces used a paraglider to bomb a Buddhist festival that was also an anti-government protest; at least two dozen people died including two members of the resistance group Sagaing Region Strike Forces. The conflict is complicated due to several reasons: the variety of EAOs and anti-junta groups operating in the country and their differing goals, the influence of China and other countries, and a 7.7 earthquake in March, among other factors. One such anti-junta force is the Anti-Fascist International Front (AIF), a relatively new armed group that came together before the Battle of Falam. Below, we have an interview with Azad, a fighter of the AIF. Militant Wire co-founder War Noir facilitated and conducted the interview.

The Communist Party of Venezuela on U.S imperialist aggression and the national crisis
Washington attempts to justify this military presence by claiming to be fighting drug trafficking. However, this narrative is nothing but a smokescreen designed to conceal its true objective: to intervene in the Venezuelan political crisis in order to secure strategic and economic advantages for U.S. capital. It is in this context that one must interpret the recent statements by the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, who arrogantly declared: “the Western Hemisphere is America’s neighborhood and we will protect it.” History shows that U.S. imperialism adapts its excuses to the moment. During the existence of the Socialist Bloc, it invoked the “communist threat” to justify coups d’état, invasions and covert operations. After September 11, the pretext shifted to the “war on terrorism.” Today, it instrumentalizes the so-called “fight against drug trafficking” to carry out extrajudicial executions in the Caribbean aPost too long.

>Why does the left support the Bourzoua Practise of Letting in Millions upon Millions of low wage workers/ welfare parasites or brain drain for the intrest of Capitalist Elites?
every time you come here and ask this question, my answer is the same: immigrants aren't parasites. Capital seeks workers the cheapest labor market. Capital does this by outsourcing or using immigrants. Notice I say capital, because capital is a system. Even if individual bourgeoisie do not individually conspire to bring about this outcome, it emerges as a property of the global economy. The oppressed nations under imperialism have the cheapest labor markets. People flee imperialism seeking higher wages. The people who flee imperialism seeking higher wages end up getting jobs in the imperialist countries which pay them higher wages than they would make at home. They send part of these wages home as remittances to their family. Many who are against them might do the same thing in their shoes. Brain drain functions the same way, but with professionals and managers instead of workers. This is the actual underlying incentive structure of capital. This will continue to happen until rates of wages roughly equalize across the globe, which will not happen under capitalism. In the mean time reactionaries carry out campaigns to scapegoat immigrants for fleeing cheap labor markets. They call the migrants parasites even though capital creates these outcomes. They fuel these campaigns with racism and militarism. They actually start new imperialist wars which destroy infrastructure and means of production in target countries, reversing the level of development in these countries and lowering their wage rates further. Then they turn to the camera and say "wow, look at these third world brownoid shitholes!" with zero self awareness. Coups, sanctions, embargoes, invasions, bombing campaigns, and many other strategies are used to bring about this state of affairs. Reactionaries also lobby for a walled world. They want commodities to be more free to move than people. They want strong immigration controls. They want to pull a large portion of the adult male population away from productive activity and make them pigs, troops, and border guards who keep conditions shitty for both foreign and domestic workers, but especially the foreign workers, who get depPost too long.

Thoughts on cedar City and Ogden?

>>2570299
What do you think the solution is?

>>2570365
i've been to cedar and ogden but i don't know a lot; just that cedar is very much centered around its stageplay industry and ogden i've only really passed through going to Eden. Both of them seem a lot more normal than the rest of the state but that might just be from an outside perspective. Cedar seems a little bit like Moab in the sense that there are more laid back and accepting people than elsewhere.

There's also places in the middle of nowhere like nephi or mona that seem to have the same kind of evangelical, dying-town culture as the other midwest states.

>all these productive forces posted unspoilered

but actually there's still humans involved. as with all automation, it merely moves where the labour is actually being done. instead of assembling and welding the cars themselves, workers now program and maintain the robots that do those things. we might see maintenance be automated as well eventually

Wondering if TNS and other cybercommunist works have been translated to Nepali, Korean, Russian, or Hindi. I know there's translations in Spanish and Mandarin - and people working on a Vietnamese version - but some of the largest parties on earth are in Nepal and India, and would certainly make use of it, though i'm sure they're already broadly aware of the ideas presented.

Finally finished reading the reproduction schema paper by Alex Creiner which "proves" that in Capitalism, equilibrium of supply and demand is compatible with disproportions in production growing to the point that production completely collapses.

This ugly wall of text really needs some space between the paragraphs and highlighting more words. I made a list of typos to prove I read the thing to the end:

is this going to be published somewhere?
I've taken a gander at Creiner's work before. seems reasonable enough. he does go on for perhaps a bit too long around having discovered positive eigenvalues in capitalism

There are translations but no one that could influence a country's economy is reading it

>>2565994
ok sure, but do you know how hard it is to '[grow] an army that's big and strong enough to take them on'? you don't raise armies out of thin air, without the support of a state-like entity to facilitate logistics and production of necessary equipment.

with this in mind, you have basically just re-stated the most general goals of communist theory. the theory that 'seems like just useless distractions' to you are in fact mostly about the details of how to do exactly what you describe most effectively.

>>2565994
wow youre a fucking genius man

True.
>BUT HOW DO WE FIGHT AGAINST NUKES?
Porkies will never use WMDs because it'll greatly hurt their ability to juice the profits out of this planet. They won't let the chuds launch the nukes either. Even if we don't take control of nukes in the first few days or weeks, they still won't fly.

& if these leftists were going to entertain rightwing ideology, they'd be nazi chuds or fascists over monarchy, which also has us outgunned and outclassed in the modern age
at best monarchy has is religiosity which is a corporatism of its own and satiates it well with Christ so they too don't feel compelled and if they do want a king here on earth the fascist-style corporatism and leader principle covers it which frankly has way more appeal to the burgeoning number of secular people and so as well the religious who admire their popularity and want to get in on that

>no, socialism is a transitionary stage headed by a dotp
This is leninist revisionism. Marx never said this.

>>2569008
no, it's classical marxism.
>Between capitalist and communist society lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat.
marx always framed socialism as a transitional stage, not a final economic system. it also retains elements of the old society. and because it is transitional and contains elements of capitalism, marx does not treat it as a fully realized mode of production.

>>2569036
It was bait but Marx rarely even mentions socialism and instead talks about lower stage communism.

>>2569146
right but thats a semantic difference. we can call it lower stage communism or use the convention of socialism and communism being different stages. the important thing is the class character of the state, and a dtop is not a dtob, its not social production for private profit, but social production for public need according to democratic decision through representative democracy.

i think the reason a lot of people get it twisted is because liberals appropriated a lot of communist rhetoric. like a rising tide really does lift all boats if you actually build necessary infrastructure, but thats not what liberals do thats just what they say.
