Omg ho chi minh was a lib???

ho chi minh was president of north vietnam and had very little to do with revolutionary politics of south vietnam until much later after the us invasion of south vietnam. the national liberation front of south vietnam, referred to as the "viet cong" (vietnamese communist) by us propaganda, was not a communist party covertly created by a north vietnamese government conspiracy as described by the common pro-western narrative, it was a completely indigenous independent nationalist coalition that came together long before the us invasion and was comprised of people of many different ideological persuasions, the vast majority being apolitical and uneducated agrarian peasants, supplemented by a rearguard minority of communists, social democrats, bourgeois liberals, buddhists, ethnic minorities, etc. and all of these groups had banded together and formed a solidarity movement based on their mutual opposition to western imperialism and desire for south vietnam to be an independent nation that was not ruled by any foreign power, neither the western imperalists nor the north vietnamese communists. their first and only real priority was just to overthrow the us-backed puppet dictatorship of ngo dinh diem (then later the us-backed military junta which replaced him) and establish south vietnam as an independent nation, all the details as to how the new regime would be structured and what kind of government it would be were TBD and would discussed at a later time if and when their efforts to gain independence were successful. of course, they were not successful and the us invaded and destroyed the entire country and killed 3 million people, most of whom were innocent helpless civilians, in what is probably the most brutal and egregious displays of western global supremacy since the nazi invasion of eastern europe. the united states began conducting bombing campaigns from within south vietnam on military installations just beyond the north vietnamese border (operation rolling thunder) so as to draw north vietnam into the conflict and compel them to lend their support to the south vietnamese NLF forces, engineering a retroactive pretext they needed to justify the us invasion by saying that the NLF movement was a north vietnamese communist conspiracy from the very beginning and that the us invasion was an effort to save south vietnam from being taken over by communist north vietnam. but in reality, the us never conducted or even planned any real invasion of north vietnam nPost too long.

Dangote signs $4.2 billion gas agreement for fertilizer plant in Ethiopia
Dangote Industries Limited and the Chinese group GCL have signed a $4.2 billion agreement over 25 years to supply natural gas to Dangote’s future urea fertilizer complex in Ethiopia.
The plant, valued at $2.5 billion and owned 60% by Dangote and 40% by Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH), will produce 3 million tons of urea per year and is expected to start operations in 2029. The gas will be extracted from the Calub field in the Ogaden basin and transported via a 108 km pipeline to the Somali region.
The project aims to make Ethiopia the leading regional producer of modern fertilizer, reduce dependence on imports, and supply neighboring markets. Analysts estimate that the initiative could generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs and boost the industrial and infrastructural development of the region.

Ghana eyes new 1,200MW gas power plant to boost electricity supply, its biggest ever yet
Ghana plans to add a 1,200-megawatt gas-fired power plant to its electricity system, in what would become the country’s largest single generating facility.
The proposed plant would have a higher installed capacity than the 1,020MW Akosombo Hydroelectric Power Station, currently Ghana’s largest single generating facility.
Mahama said the project would not require new borrowing, with the government intending to finance it from its own resources.

Lamu Port’s Cargo Throughput Jumps by 900%, Buoyed by Shipping Disruption
With ocean carriers drawing up contingency plans for cargo destined to the Gulf region, some ports on the East African coast have gained a strategic advantage. As the Hormuz blockade persists, major shipping lines have informed customers on potential rerouting of goods, with the option of leaving containers at safer ports.
Lamu Port was commissioned back in 2021 but remained largely under-utilized for its first three years. However, global shipping disruptions have seen Lamu benefit as ocean carriers adjust their services. Last year in August, Lamu port made history with the docking of Hapag Lloyd’s Nagoya Express, which is the longest containership to ever call at an East African port. The 335-meter-long boxship has capacity for 8,604 TEUs.

Somalia, Tükiye boost spaceport cooperation
A Turkish military transport docked at Mogadishu Port in February 2026, offloading a shipment of M48 and M60 Patton battle tanks in a move that signals a significant escalation of Ankara’s military footprint in the Horn of Africa. According to informed security sources, the tanks will be positioned to defend Turkish installations in the Warshiikh district, approximately 60 kilometers north of Mogadishu. The location is reportedly being prepared for missile and satellite launch operations, leveraging Somalia’s equatorial position—an optimal site for aerospace trajectories.
The protection of the Warshiikh installations represents a primary concern for Ankara. As the aerospace project advances into a critical stage, these tanks offer an essential shield against unconventional threats in the Middle Shabelle region. The increase in heavy military equipment follows recent security assessments regarding Turkish personnel and facilities. This mobilization aligns with Turkey’s recent introduction of F-16 fighter aircraft to the area, demonstrating a broader dedication to protecting its multi-billion-dollar investments in Somalia’s energy and technology sectors.

>Can you highlight the Hegelian logic in Capital for me, please?

Here's an excerpt from chapter 1 with a footnote:

>Since the relative form of value of a commodity – the linen, for example – expresses the value of that commodity, as being something wholly different from its substance and properties, as being, for instance, coat-like, we see that this expression itself indicates that some social relation lies at the bottom of it. With the equivalent form it is just the contrary. The very essence of this form is that the material commodity itself – the coat – just as it is, expresses value, and is endowed with the form of value by Nature itself. Of course this holds good only so long as the value relation exists, in which the coat stands in the position of equivalent to the linen.[22]

Here's the footnote:

>22. Such expressions of relations in general, called by Hegel reflex categories, form a very curious class. For instance, one man is king only because other men stand in the relation of subjects to him. They, on the contrary, imagine that they are subjects because he is king.

is it true that the NEP was just Bolshevik leadership finally adopting Menshevik ideas after war communism failed?

Here I will be investigating Plato's thoughts on economic matters, derived from his writings. Economics in its etymology refers to the management of a household, but already by Xenophon's "Economist" refers to managing the general estate of a man's property, for the ends of supplying wealth; understood as gain, rather than loss.¹ Economics can thus be seen as a science of wealth in general. So, we must begin with this category.

We see initially that Socrates expresses his humility by a lack of money, which at his trial, is one silver mina,² or 100 drachmae; a drachma being the daily wage of an Athenian labourer of this period. This is an important Platonic theme continued into Christianity, of the difference between internal and external riches. Plato writes, "the truly rich […] not those who are rich in gold but those who are rich in the wealth that the happy must have, namely, a good and rational life".³  Plato also writes, "those who have a lot of property must also need many of the things required […] so the wealthiest people would necessarily appear to us to be in the worst condition."⁴ Xenophon argued that the cause of wealth was not in things themselves, but in our relationship to them, such that money did not count as wealth if it had no purpose to its possessor.⁵ Plato has a connected but contrary argument, that all property is of use to its possessor: "everything which is property must also be useful".⁶ Plato makes property and wealth synonymous, while Xenophon distinguishes wealth as a condition of property. I feel that Xenophon avoids contradiction, for he assigns wealth to the propertyless, while Plato falls into confusion, central to the Paradox of Value, typified by Aristotle's diagnosis: "gold is a better thing than iron, though less useful: it is harder to get, and therefore more worth getting. In another way, the plentiful is a better thing than the rare, because we can make more use of it."⁷ If property is wealth, and wealth is utility, then iron counts "more" as property than gold. I sympathise with Eryxias here; "becoming seriously confused by the argument".⁸ This is then Plato's general view of wealth.

We see that Plato has a distaste for wealth, which as he continues, is the cause of war: "all wars are due to the desire to acquire wealth",⁹ and this ambition for wealth, he adds, "makes us too busy to practice philosophy."¹⁰ So then, wealth is his nemesis, which is why he critiques the freedom of propPost too long.

Pakistan’s latest Trump bet is on drone firm already selling to India
On September 16, a delegation from Powerus, a year-old United States drone company backed by two sons of President Donald Trump, was received by Pakistan’s military chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, at military headquarters in Rawalpindi.
Analysts are questioning why a country that already builds its own drones and buys others from China and Turkiye would turn to a company that was founded only last year – and has links to Israel and sells drones to India too.
“Pakistan technically already makes or is capable of making each of the drones shown by Powerus,” Bilal Khan, founder of the Quwa Group, a Toronto-based defence news and market intelligence platform, told Al Jazeera. “It’s unclear where Powerus fits in the long term [from Pakistan’s perspective].”

Somali-Turkish Energy Partnership Reaches Milestone as Drilling Progresses Ahead of Schedule
Türkiye’s deep-sea oil and gas exploration drilling off the coast of Somalia is progressing ahead of schedule and could be completed by the end of September, according to the Somali Petroleum Authority Director General Abdulkadir Adan .
Speaking to the Somali National News Agency (SONNA), Adan said the drilling had reached a depth of around 3,000 meters and was proceeding rapidly and without technical difficulties. The operation was initially scheduled to be completed in October, but the current pace could bring completion forward by about a month. “Completion by the end of September is possible. October had previously been set as the target completion date,” he said.

La Turquie construit une base spatiale en Somalie
C’est un chantier hors norme qu’a discrètement lancé la Turquie depuis octobre 2025 dans le centre de la Somalie. Warsheikh, une ville située au bord de l’océan Indien, à 70 kilomètres au nord de la capitale, Mogadiscio, va accueillir le futur fleuron du programme spatial turc : une base de lancement satellitaire qui sera doublée d’un site d’essai balistique destiné aux tests de missiles de la puissante industrie de défense d’Ankara.
Ce partenariat s’est mué en une tutelle politique. Dépendant d’Ankara, le gouvernement somalien ne peut rien lui refuser. En 2024, la Turquie s’est, par exemple, engagée à protéger les eaux territoriales somaliennes en échange de 30 % des revenus maritimes. La même année, elle s’est vue offrir des blocs pétroliers offshore à explorer – le forage doit débuter cette année a annoncé fin décembre Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

I was reading some essays by Nibras Kazimi by way of Rob Ashlar, who is a Marxist and anti-imperialist. Kazimi is a neocon who comes from a family of Iraqi communists and turned into a doomer. So it's all very bizarre but Ashlar found him analyzing Saudi Arabia to be interesting. Green quotes are Kazimi and orange are Ashlar.

<[Kazimi] argues that while the Kurdish independence was one “station along the rim,” the key force to watch is MBS, as he may even bring about the “event horizon” or “singularity.” Put concretely, the failure of his cultural and political revolution in KSA may have devastating consequences for the region. The cultural side of this revolutionary is self-explanatory, e.g. permitting women to drive, work, etc. The political side is much murkier despite (or because of) its significance. It mainly consisted in, first, eliminating all possible rivals to MBS, and second, installing members of his clique to all parts of the Saudi state. For example, before MBS, the Ministry of Interior was the preserve of Prince Nayif and his sons, most famous being Muhammad bin Nayif, whom MBS ruthlessly ousted in his ascent to power. This violated all precedent in Saudi internal politics:

>There is a mini-world of politics within the royal ‘house’, whose dynasts are numerous enough to warrant an upgraded term such a royal barrio. The institution of Saudi royalty can draw on a long, at times embittered, memory of fratricidal feuding, elegiac enough to reveal what pitfalls to avoid. Such was the inherited wisdom by which the kingdom’s founder instituted a successional order to sustain his offspring for several generations. What comes next was to be mediated by family politics and consultation, involving multiple branches not only that of Ibn Saud’s sons and their progeny, but of more distant cousins too. […] Bin Salman finds politics, as little of it as exists in Saudi, to be an impediment. What we are watching is his bid to destroy that little space, to clear his path for absolute unencumbered governance. With the brakes gone, all one gets is the man and his instincts and reflexes at the wheel. And again, I think this particular individual is not altogether there. (98)

>turkish companies are building africa, turkish companies will start extracting oil in somalia (90% revenue for turkey only) and pakistan
>soon to be space power, ongoing localization of military manufacture, just achieved intercontinental missiles, soon to get nuclear power plants
>massive soft power thanks to turk soap operas
>massive tourism flows, istanbul is the fifth most visited city in the world
>military bases in iraq, syria, qatar, djibouti and somalia (last one essentially just a turkish protectorate at this point)
>fully embedded in nato and western world order yet able to talk and trade with the third world and russia increasing its importance to america as conduit to keep potentially unfriendly thirdies like aes or pakistan in check
>just achieved highest ever pisa scores, surpassing almost every european country, including germany, france, sweden, italy and spain
Seriously, I hate Erdog but how can anyone say he's incompetent? He's pretty much assured Turkey's dominance over Europe, MENA, Central Asia, Pakistan and gotten Turkey a place at the table in Africa and space. I think the only thing that could stop Turkey's rise is Israel going full schizo and provoking a crisis with it or trying to engineer a more publicly Israel-friendly successor to Erdogan.

the couple who are running this "intentional community" are older than i am, and way way wealthier than i will ever be. the real story most likely is that they irresponsibly bought a multi-million dollar house that they could not afford and they went upside down on the mortgage and decided to try to weasel out of it by becoming glorified misclassified landlords who enjoy all of the benefits of being landlords while evading most of the regulations by claiming to be a co-op. and of course, a quick google search reveals that the house is still privately owned and the married couple are the only names on the deed and it's not a cooperative entity at all as they claim to be, the other "community members" are tenants and they own nothing and if the owners decide to raise the rent or throw them out or sell the place they probably have very little recourse because of what a convoluted legal clusterfuck it would be for them to try to do anything about it and probably not worth any lawyer's time.

i know that capitalism and finances and legal matters are boring old boomer stuff and totally lame, but leftists would really do well to educate themselves on these kinds of things because, the real ugly unspoken truth about america is that the corruption is fucking everywhere, it's not just the GOP politicians or wall street or the techbro billionaires who are crooks. a huge segment of the middle-class american population, regardless of political persuasion or how innocent they may seem on the surface, are actually dirty slimy greasy people doing all kinds of shady shit - phony housing co-ops, quack therapists and self-help gurus, fraudulent small business owners, crooked small-time landlords, rampant elder abuse and estate fraud, parents embezzling from their children, children embezzling from their parents, seniors selling their prescription opioids to their teenage grandkids, enormous amounts of tax fraud that goes unnoticed simply because nobody has bothered to do an audit, etc. our whole society is filthy from top to bottom and the sooner you come to grips with it the better. you don't empower yourself or right any of the world's wrongs by being a naive youthful idealist, you do it by being a crusty, cynical, miserable son of a bitch who trusts no one.

You'd think so, but one way in which this can (and imo has) been disruptive to the left is that it's a constant wrench in the gears of any socialist intelligentsia. Obviously ordinary workers aren't going to bother with this nonsense, but the movement will still need an intellectual wing which will most likely be drawn from the educated middle strata. Unfortunately those people are the most likely to actually take this sort of nonsense seriously, and the most likely to allow it to become a real obstacle to organizing or theoretical clarity. That in turn prevents the integration of an intellectual vanguard with its natural proletatian base.

Palestinian communists seek broad electoral alliance to challenge Fatah-Hamas polarization
The Palestinian People’s Party (PPP) is stepping up preparations for the November 28 legislative elections, working to forge a broad left-wing, democratic and social alliance that could emerge as a third political pole beyond the longstanding Fatah-Hamas polarization. PPP General Secretary Bassam al-Salhi said the party does not regard the elections simply as a contest for parliamentary seats, but as an opportunity to rebuild Palestinian political institutions and restore popular participation. Al-Salhi argued that the vote must go ahead, its results must be respected and the process should ultimately produce “one government and one Legislative Council,” overcoming the existence of parallel political structures.

Democratic Party Consultants Surround Troy Jackson with Pro-Israel Donors
The Troy Jackson campaign in Maine may have found a new way to measure just how far Democratic Party consultants are able to drag a candidate away from his grassroots supporters. This week, as Jackson ventured into the Facebook group set up for his volunteers, he was facing a legion of Maine supporters expressing a deep sense of betrayal, following an exposé by Rebecca Traister in New York Magazine, which had laid out in precise detail how a squadron of mostly out-of-state political consultants had done as much as possible to drain the life from Jackson and his campaign. In the Facebook group, Jackson’s defense of his campaign, and his attack on the reporting, was considered so condescending that supporters concluded there was no way that Jackson himself was running the account—and promptly kicked Jackson out of his own Facebook group, with less than six weeks until election day. Jackson, it turned out, was indeed still manning his own Facebook account, and he has since been allowed back in. But the damage his consultant-run campaign has done to his relationship with Maine voters will take more than a restored account to repair.
