Saudis are the basically the ashkenazis of the Jewry. They believe, that because every Muslim on EARTH must pray towards the Mecca, the sacrest holly place on earth, and they have it, that implies they are the Allah-chosen people on earth. absolute state of the Saudis.
aaanyway. I am happy that SAK put a break on the zionazis expansionism.

i remember 10 years ago, some of the young muslim guys viewed Saudi in the same way as zionist jews in the diaspora view Israel as a homeland and a place to emigrate to one day, so they can live a true religious life.

Turkey in 'advanced talks' to join Saudi Arabia and Pakistan defence pact: Report

Turkey is lobbying to join a defence pact between Saudi Arabia and nuclear-armed Pakistan, a potential move that could create a new military bloc in the Middle East amid rising tensions in the Gulf and Iran.

How Djibouti Became a Battleground Between the UAE and National Sovereignty

In a series of unusually candid remarks, Guelleh leveled direct accusations at Abu Dhabi, claiming it is seeking to assert control over his country’s resources through financial leverage and strategic contracts, describing the Emirati approach as a form of “disguised colonialism.”

The dispute over the Doraleh port, Guelleh suggested, is merely one piece of a far broader project — a campaign aimed at dominating ports and maritime corridors across East Africa.

Enlighten us, Shok

Socialist Albania was the biggest loss of the late 20th century.
How did it not survive like the DPRK? Did he go too hard on Mao? Should he have studied the "bourgeoisie have a chance to reemerge within the party"? Surely Cuba was more brittle or was the European glowies that more aggressive than the US during that period?
Or have time not elapsed long enough for relevant intelligence agency documents to do with that having been declassified or leaked?

>>2637231
It wouldn't have survived. The implosion of the socialist bloc was a transnational event and can't be understood at a country level. All the countries went more or less through the same process; political/economic liberalization, massive social unrest, western agitation, elections and final collapse of the communist parties. At a time when everyone was openly embracing capitalism it was a matter of time until Albania fell. I guess DPRK, Cuba, Vietnam, etc had the geopolitical advantage of being far away from the chaos but even then they got hit hard and barely made it through.

Trump declares national emergency to shield Venezuelan oil cash
The order defines "Foreign Government Deposit Funds" as Venezuelan government funds in designated Treasury accounts that come from the sale of natural resources or diluents. Any "attachment, judgment, decree, lien, execution, garnishment, or other judicial process" against those funds is "prohibited, and shall be deemed null and void," unless specifically licensed, Trump said in the order.

Federal judge blocks White House freeze of childcare subsidies in Democratic states
The states of California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York argued that a policy announced on Tuesday to freeze billions of dollars in funds for three grant programs was having an immediate impact on them and creating “operational chaos”. In court filings and a hearing earlier on Friday, the states contended that the government did not have a legal reason for withholding the money from them.

The Communist Party of Turkey on the bloodbath in Syria's Aleppo: "This is what you created, it's yours!"
"The imperialist program implemented in Syria through the interventions of the United States first and foremost, along with the United Kingdom, Israel, and Turkey, has brought the country to the brink of a new phase of destruction and catastrophe. The advance of jihadist forces, particularly HTS, has targeted Kurdish neighborhoods and civilian settlements in Aleppo, further deepening the humanitarian crisis unfolding across the country. We have repeatedly stated that it is neither possible nor intended that the jihadist HTS regime — utterly devoid of legitimacy — should establish real sovereignty over the country. Al Jolani, who was installed by imperialist powers in the aftermath of the counter-revolution, has no right to decide how any community living in Syria should live, nor to intervene in their lives or speak on their behalf. For this reason, HTS’s intervention in Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo is illegitimate and unacceptable. Nevertheless, those who hypocritically beat the drums of war while deliberately ignoring Jolani’s identity and the jihadist–collaborationist line he represents are also, indirectly, lending support to the imperialist trap into which Turkey is being gradually drawn.

The Iranian uprising is at a very crucial stage
According to informed sources, demonstrations have spread to 150 cities and 600 towns across all 31 provinces of Iran during the past twelve days, including the western provinces of Ilam, Kermanshah and Lorestan. Several towns, along with the city of Abadan, are reported to be no longer under government control and are now in the hands of the people. The protest that began on 27 December was triggered by the sharp decline in the national currency. This development made it harder for the government to address the concerns raised by citizens and protesters. In addition, the government announced the end of a subsidised exchange rate for importers, a decision that has already caused grocery prices to rise sharply. LPost too long.

You disgusting, virulently turd-wordlists liars need to read a fucking book. The Zionist entity is engaging in an ethnic cleansing campaign and therefore they must be opposed, full stop.

Khrushchevite/Dengist Social Fascist/Social Imperialist Capitalist Roader Revisionist Marcyite Campists like yourself fall hook, line, and sinker for the Anti-Communist Propaganda of the Hindutva Fascist Bourgeois Comprador Indian State that spreads lies that the CPI (Maoist) has “surrendered” when in reality the CPI (Maoist) has already chosen a new General-Secretary named Thippiri Tirupathi to replace Nambala Keshava Rao who died on May 21 2025 valiantly fighting the Hindutva Fascist Bourgeois Comprador Indian State, and the Naxalite Maoist PPW in India continues in the Strategic Defensive Stage (the First Stage of Maoist PPW) where the Bourgeois forces have the upper hand and the Maoists are confined to a Low-level Insurgency, but it will advance to the Strategic Stalemate Stage (The Second Stage of Maoist PPW) once World War III breaks out and the Hindutva Fascist Bourgeois Comprador Indian State is bogged down fighting China and Pakistan which will allow the Naxalites to start seizing control of large sections of Rural India (they will probably even receive Military aid from China), and it will finally reach the Strategic Offensive Stage (The Third and Final Stage of Maoist PPW) in which the Maoists overwhelm the Bourgeois forces when World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War (including a Nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan) that will collapse the Hindutva Fascist Bourgeois Comprador Indian State (along with completely destroying the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR) and allow the Naxalites to take over all of India and establish a Federation of Socialist States in South Asia, including a Hindi SFSR, Kashmiri SSR, Punjabi SSR, Sindhi SSR, Gujarati SSR, Marathi SSR, Konkani SSR, Kannada SSR, Malayalam SSR, Tamil SSR, Telugu SSR, Odia SSR, Bengali SSR, Nepali SSR, Assamese SSR, Nissi SSR, Mizo SSR, Manipuri SSR, Ao SSR, and Khasi SSR, which will all join the Global USSR (All of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are shown in the Map I posted) that will place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Yes, Britain has a weird class-based view of homosexuality. a lot of the homophobic humor in private eye (unofficial journal of politics the newspaper won't touch but that some need to know), for example, is based on this ruling-class view that thought it's all rather immature to still want to fuck other men as a homosexual man because that's something you're supposed to get out of your system at eton boy's school.
the precise thing with transphobia is harder to explain (and the american element of getting mad at drag queens is hilarious from the nation that invented panto), but it almost certainly has a similar dynamic.

>a lot of their work is probably more serious and rigorous than that of Cockshott
Names?
>but how do you plan to fit this model without legitimizing it as better than capitalism
I don't share your interest in avoiding the claim that communism is better.
>some form of self-management socialism with indicative planning seems more aligned with marx's original thought.
Planning is centralized by definition. Whenever Marx and Engels talk about labor-time vouchers as something that might work in socialism, they always assume supply matching demand, which requires a lot of planning ahead. Cockshott and Cottrell OTOH allow for imbalances in supply and demand and modifying prices of consumer items to cope with that, so it is Cockshott and Cottrell who assume something less rigid. We can say Marx and Engels did conceive of socialism as having one big plan because… https://archive.is/Lx8TF ctrl-f French version of Capital
