Tribalism has been a disaster for humanity. Sadly only bad news on the palestinian front. I just stopped paying attention since I can't help them and I can't afford living my whole life pissed off.

Israel’s prison authorities have begun preparations for executing Palestinians under a proposed law condemned by Amnesty International and UN experts.

The preparations include the construction of a “green mile” facility to carry out the hangings, with groups of three volunteer executioners simultaneously pressing a trigger, Israel’s Channel 13 reported.

Two prison rights groups described the death penalty bill as an “unprecedented act of savagery”.

Meanwhile, eight UN experts last week called on Israel to withdraw the bill, which mandates executions within 90 days of a guilty verdict.

The bill, which must pass two more readings in the Israeli Knesset to become law, introduces two tracks for the death penalty.

In the illegally occupied West Bank, Israeli military courts would impose the death penalty for “terrorist” acts that cause someone’s death, even if it was unintentional; while in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem, the death penalty would apply under Israeli criminal law, and only for the “intentional killing of Israeli citizens or residents”.

Only Palestinians will be executed, while Israelis convicted of similar offences will face prison sentences.

If passed, the Israeli government intends first to target the law at the elite Hamas military unit that conducted the 7 October 2023 attacks.

You're the only one talking about fashion, the rest of us just don't find the idea uniforms appealing. It's not a binary.
I'm going to stop replying to you because it's obvious you are a pathetic child with a Great Man complex. Hate to break it to you but you're not going to get anybody to do your bidding with such a drab utilitarian vision of "socialism".

>Great Man complex
Never once mentioned a great man and have only talked about streamlining the textile and fashion industries which you seem incapable of understanding.
>drab utilitarian vision of "socialism".
bro you actually admitted to thinking people wearing trash is good. I understand if people in poverty are forced to wear trash and try to make the best out of a bad situation. But to praise this situation as ideal and actively fight against people who want to give everyone quality clothes, basic shelter and nutritional food is insane. Maybe you should reassess your priorities.

Individualism isn't real, even capitalism is collectivist in operation. But i wouldn't call myself couragous for pointing that out, that'd be strange.

Es gibt einen besonders doofen Streit in der linken Szene. Ich nenne mal keine Namen, denn der Streit selber ist älter als diese Leute, und benenne stattdessen die impliziten unterschiedlichen Definitionen dahinter.

Gruppe A:
A1. Demokratie ohne Adjektiv davor: Herrschaft der Massen.
A2. bürgerliche Demokratie: Einschränkung dieser Massenherrschaft wenn es um Eigentumsprivilegien geht. Formell geschieht das durch Hürden (qualifizierte Mehrheiten von 2/3 oder höher, Beteiligungsquoren), Ausbremsen (Einschnitte in Privateigentum müssen mehrfach abgesegnet werden von verschiedenen Gruppen), oder auch Totalverbot (Ewigkeitsklauseln zum Schutz des Eigentums).

Gruppe B:
B1. Kommunismus als Ziel: Eine Gesellschaft ohne Klassen (hier kann Konsens sein mit Gruppe A)
B2. Staat: Apparat, mit der die herrschende Klasse den Rest unterdrückt. Dies wird gesetzt nicht als eine Aufgabe des Staates oder die Hauptaufgabe, sondern als alles, was den Staatsapparat ausmache.
B3: Demokratie: Eine Methode, wie der Staat organisiert sein kann. Und nur der Staat.

Wenn man B1 und B2 nimmt, dann ergibt sich ganz banal daraus, dass im entwickelten Kommunismus der Staat abgestorben ist. Und legen wir B3 dazu, dann löst sich auch die Frage in Luft auf, ob diese zukünftige Welt demokratisch organisiert sein soll. Das erscheint jemandem aus Gruppe B wie die Frage, ob ein Glatzkopf sich das Kopfhaar rot färben soll. Und so wundert sich ein Mensch der Gruppe B über die Dummheit der Außenstehenden.

Die impliziten Definitionen sind exotisch und deshalb, und nur deshalb, ist die Debatte zwischen A und B für normale Menschen wirr. Und wenn man das explizit macht, was bleibt dann noch zu debattieren übrig?

At the upcoming Amerimutt elections, you need to vote republican.
Liberal democracy promotes the lie that it can resolve its own issues by reforms, all the discontempt with Trump and all of his crimes against humanity will be swept away and MEMORYHOLED the moment amerimutts rush to the voting polls to elect a democrat. What America needs is not reforms, it needs to become so bad and vile at this point that it collapses into a civil war. America can only go through its problems by continuing with problems, rather than trying to resolve them by prolonging the life of its bourgeois democracy in damage control.
>Accelerationist retard
Accelerationism works, your moronic liberal damage control is what prolongs bourgeois illusions of "freedom". It is almost obviou americans will not be having a civil war in spite of knowing their government is ran by pedophiles and will simply protest until the next election, what leftists and broader anti-systematic forces need to realize is that they need to continue the crisis brought by Trump in order to bring about the conditions for a sufficient revolt.

Vote Republican as ridiculous as it sounds.

If you vote for democrat you will end up with a government that covers up all the previous systematic issues, continues the same foreign policy and puts to sleep the general public. Democrats will only stabilize America to continue its pedophilic imperialist existence, whereas Republicans will continue to degenerate it until it becomes unbareable and collapses.

YOU DON'T NEED ILLUSIONARY DEMOCRACY, YOU NEED REAL FASCISM FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THE PROBLEM AND CONFRONT IT WITH WAR.
A vote for republicans is a vote towards class war - confronting the real face of the enemy.

A student’s death in Senegal protest reveals anger over leaders’ broken promises
Ba died in a nearby hospital from severe head injuries, according to Cheikh Atab Sagne, president of the Student Association of the Faculty of Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry.

Noting that Israeli forces have killed “tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza,” Prejean Boller asked panel participant and University of California Los Angeles law student Yitzchok Frankel, who is Jewish, “In a country built on religious liberty and the First Amendment, do you believe someone can stand firmly against antisemitism… and at the same time, condemn the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza, or reject political Zionism, or not support the political state of Israel?” “Or do you believe that speaking out about what many Americans view as genocide in Gaza should be treated as antisemitic?”

Socialists in Latin America Demand Brazil and Mexico Send Oil to Cuba Now!
After the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores in Venezuela, and the threats against Iran and Greenland, Trump is now once again targeting Cuba. The United States is reinforcing its criminal embargo against Cuba, now sanctioning companies and countries that sell oil to the island, directly or indirectly. Mexico stopped sending oil to Cuba, once again aligning with the criminal economic offensive driven by Donald Trump’s authoritarian administration against the island. President Claudia Sheinbaum first tried to deny the news, before finally confirming it. She has publicized that Mexico is sending boxes of food to Cuba, a PR move for Mexico, This suspension of energy supplies coincides with an executive order from Washington, which threatens to impose punitive tariffs on countries that sell crude oil to Cuba. This measure is designed to deepen Cuba’s isolation, escalating the decades-long criminal and illegal blockade. Economic collapse is now very likely. Furthermore, the Trump administration is threatening sanctions against companies and countries that sell oil to the island, which could include the Brazilian company Petrobras. Oil is essential to guaranteeing energy, transportation, hospitals, and basic living conditions for the Cuban people. The United States is using this dependence on oil as a weapon of economic warfare. The U,S. sanctPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Internationalist Voice (Iranian) analysis of the protests (Jan. 4-19):

>Leftists and the Mujahedin claim that monarchists are attempting to influence the protests in favour of “Reza Pahlavi”[7] by adding audio to video clips, or that this role is being played by the Islamic bourgeoisie itself, which is confident in the harmlessness of the monarchist opposition. In other words, they argue that the promotion of monarchist demands within the protests is either meaningless or marginal. This claim is partly correct, but it does not capture the full reality.

Should I side with Khameini or the protesters?
Imagine both scenarios
>Protesters give up and Khameini stays in power
If this happens things would continue as they did before, Iran continues to be an Anti-Socialist reactionary theocracy were Women and queer people don't have rights but on the upside they fund militant groups in the region that fight against American imperialism.
>Protesters win and Khameini is ousted from power
If this happens there would not be a socialist government. Women and queer people might get some more rights but it would just be another McVassal-State like Egypt or Jordan.
So it is just damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Another doctrine of US foreign policy is the Powell Doctrine.
Key principles of the Powell Doctrine include:
>Vital Interests: Military action must be taken only when crucial national security interests are threatened.
>Overwhelming Force: When force is used, it should be decisive and massive, aiming for a swift victory rather than "halfway measures".
>Clear Objectives: The goals of the mission must be specifically defined and attainable
>Exit Strategy: A clear, pre-defined plan for withdrawing forces must exist before intervention.

I think the most staple thing about the Powell Doctrine is the use of overwhelming force if they are going to do anything. When the US invaded Venezuela, there was massive military buildup with clear objectives.
I imagine another reason US invaded Venezuela, besides oil, was to intimidate Iran.

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?"

That makes sense, everything I’ve heard about the civil war since the death of Moise (still incomprehensible to me) is basically limited to Port Au Prince and the rest of the country is more or less functioning as usual

>>2672111
It's true that Haiti had a revolutionnary movement that started before the French Revolution, so yes, in that view, saying that it's merely an extension is generally ignorant of historical reality.
But it's also obvious that the form the revolution took was inspired by the French one. For exemple the revolutionnaries argued in favor of equality between all men based on the Declaration of the right of Men and Citizen, that the national assembly has expicitly rejected for Black Haitians.
So, when they rebelled in 1791, the Haitians were not asking for independance, but an end to slavery. They supported Louis XVI, who they viewed a moderating force against the relatively harsher local governor. This believed this because Louis XVI has signed on and accepted many of the revolutionnary demands, including the creation of a constitutional monarchy, he was viewed at the time as a progressive monarch. (He was secrely conspiring to bring back absolutism, but Haitians didn't know this) This meant that they were backing the revolution, not the reaction. While when Louis XVI got his head chopped up, the white owners sided with the British against the Republic. Louverture did help the Spanish at the time tho, as he yet didn't trust the French.
But once the revolution in France radicalised further, with Robespierre and the Jacobins in charge, they abolished slavery and Louveture realigned himself with France and refused to proclaim the independance of Haiti, instead seeing himself as a french citizen. It's only in 1801, so at the start of Napoleon's consulate, that he declared independance.
Even then, he justified himself using the univerallist principles of the French revolution, and he obviously turned against it when it was going back against those ideals.
I don't get why you're quoting CLR James at me, his most famous book is called "The Black Jacobins" And if anything he criticises the race war representation of the conflict, and puts the revolution back in the context of the Atlantic and French revolutions. If anything, he argues that the Haitians better represented those ideals then the French did. Not that these ideals came from Haiti.

>>2672222
How am I moving the goalposts by pointing out the objective fact that if an organic slave revolt ever succeeds, the slaves first priority is to flee? That makes perfect sense from their perspective, you and I would do the exact same thing. The Zanj was a radically different conflict that arose during a period of extreme internal strife in the Abbasid caliphate. The revolt, like Hati was not started by the slaves themselves but by an outsider, in the Zanj's case, a popular religious preacher who took advantage of the anarchy. He and his followers attacked individual slave estates, freed the slaves, and presented themselves as religious liberators, gradually freeing most of the slaves from the marshes and forming an Army. The Zanj revolt was one of many crises the Abbasids were dealing with, including the loss of Egypt to the Tulunids and Kharijite and Shia uprisings. The caliphate was fighting on every front. Only when al-Muwaffaq stabilized the army and re-centralized authority in the 880s did the Abbasids finally crush the rebellion.
