Yes, this is invariant communist doctrine and (you) are a denier.
>the proletariat must first of all acquire political supremacy, must rise to be the leading class of the nation, must constitute itself the NATION, it is, so far, itself NATIONAL, though not in the bourgeois sense of the word.

>United action of the leading civilized countries at least is one of the first conditions for the emancipation of the proletariat.
Why is there no united action? People will blame the chinese proletariat for that.

>>2573170
Yeah, all these ultroid bordiggers suddenly become voluntarist when it comes to China. They are so inconsistent man. And they never elaborate.

> What would the late Marx say?
You tell us. Late marx wrote Capital, his critique of poiltical economy but as far as I know never rejected the content of the 1848 Manifesto

This as well, if the French leadership wasn't full of mongrels then the Soviets could have mobilized and started a front in the East

>>2573408
>Fact is, the Soviets tried to ally with France and Britain to stop the Nazis and they rejected thus
When exactly did this happen? When did France and Britain stop negotiating?

>>2573668
All the time.

>>2573712
The PDF only confirms that the British and French had negotiators in Moscow when Molotov-Ribbentrop was announced. Stalin simply decided that the Nazis were offering him a better deal and he took it

I read an interview or two. The two things that I can remember was how she talked about how the school system was really tough and education was the greatest commodity in communist Albania.

The other thing is how people processed the transition. They were coming out of a situation where you had to be a party member to have any significant career. There was obviously the state security but in fact people bent the rules a lot and so did those guys, so you were working around the system but you knew a guy and he was also bending the rules, and also some of the dissidents themselves could be state spies, and former communists set themselves up as post-communist oligarchs or mafia (or whatever, however it worked in the 1990s) so it wasn't really clear who could be blamed after communism collapsed. So yes, communist Albania did bad things, but it became easier for people to just blame ideology (socialism/communism) and move on, which is unfortunate because capitalism isn't all that it was cracked up to be, and that has benefited right-wing nationalists who have set themselves up as the "alternative" to the status quo.

Ford hit again by layoffs as a second major fire erupts at critical aluminum plant in New York state
The company claimed that the latest fire was swiftly contained and the site was made safe. Despite this, the efforts to restore full production have been set back. The hot mill segment, where the incident occurred, was shut down; shipment of finished aluminum sheet was temporarily suspended; and supply to customers such as Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis was disrupted, reported the Detroit Free Press.

Tyson to Close Major Beef Facility, Shafting 3,000 Workers After Boosting Stock Buybacks
The company said late last week that its decision to shutter the Lexington, Nebraska plant and scale back shifts at its Amarillo, Texas facility is “designed to right size its beef business and position it for long-term success” even as beef prices are close to record highs. The Wall Street Journal reported that Tyson and other meatpackers, which are facing federal scrutiny for allegedly colluding to drive up prices, “have been losing hundreds of millions of dollars processing beef because of the lowest amount of cattle on U.S. pastures since the 1950s.”

Who is really behind the ‘Gen Z’ protests in Mexico?
A familiar sight awaited you if you were around the Zocalo of the National Palace of Mexico City on 15 November: One Piece flags, anti-government slogans, and clashes with the police. Has the revolution come? Is Mexico going through a similar uprising to Nepal or Madagascar? But something feels off: the guy holding the flag is 80 – hardly Gen Z. Another is held by a hooded man wearing a huge swastika. The words “Jewish whore,” aimed at President Claudia Sheinbaum, are spray-painted on the National Palace. Vicente Fox, the reactionary ex-president of Mexico, stands beside you in a bad disguise and a One Piece shirt. Almost no young people can be seen for blocks.
What the hell is going on?

Anthem Is Cutting Access to Out-of-Network Doctors
A new policy by the health insurer Anthem will penalize hospitals for using doctors outside of its coverage network. Anthem claims the move is designed to reduce its members’ out-of-pocket costs. But critics argue it will force medical facilities to police physicians’ network status, strong-arm doctors into accepting lower payments from health insurance companies, and could lead to fewer care options for patients. According to the new policy, which will take effect on January 1, Anthem will cut a hospital’s reimbursements by 10 percent whenever the facility submits a claim that includes services from out-of-network providers. Additionally, hospitals that rely on out-of-network service providers will risk “potential termination from Anthem’s networks,” according to Anthem’s notice. The policy will impact plans across eleven states, including Colorado, Georgia, and New Hampshire — all of which are managed by Elevance Health, a multibillion-dollar health company that operates Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans across fourteen states and serves millions of people.

The should have included Greenwich Village townhouse explosion

>The Weather Underground had been formed from the remnants of Students for a Democratic Society in June 1969, by about a hundred activists who had come to believe that armed struggle was necessary to reform American society. At that meeting, the Weathermen, who had taken their original name from the line "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" in Bob Dylan's 1965 song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" had discussed what actions they might take, and against what targets. The consensus was that the police and the military were legitimate targets, representing the urban racism that their allies the Black Panthers most strongly opposed, and the Vietnam War. Members present recall that while the topic of whether their actions would necessarily involve taking life was largely avoided, beyond general agreement that they should not do so indiscriminately, their actions would likely kill police officers and military personnel.
>The Weathermen purchased a large quantity of dynamite and a number of electric fuses for $60 ($500 in 2024) in New Hampshire in early March. After a meeting they designated three targets, including a noncommissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix, which was due to take place on March 6. It was reported that "arguments went on day and night" in the townhouse, with Kathy Boudin advocating that they kill as many people as possible with anti-personnel bombs. Diana Oughton reportedly had misgivings, although others present say she never showed them. Wilkerson wrote later that she felt powerless to stop what was going on in her father's house. Theodore Gold threatened to kill one close friend after he had a breakdown over the plan at one gathering.

>None of the Weathermen had experience with explosives, and Robbins and Wilkerson did not even understand the basics of electricity. They worked up a simple timer and trigger device that lacked any safety features, and packed the dynamite with sharp roofing nails. Robbins was unwilling to deviate from the way he had been told to build the bomb, and unwilling to listen to suggestions from anyone else.
>Robbins had chosen the dance at Fort Dix as their target; other reports indicate that only some were intended for the dance, with the rest to be detonated inside the administration building Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

In the Cold War he could've been a wildcard; coming up with all kinds of insane schemes where he'd ally with one side in one conflict only to fight on the opposite side in another.

>exploitation via the extraction of surplus value as source of profit
But.
It's the price the worker must pay for having a job. The job is value. If you own a bakery and pay the worker the full value for every bread he bakes, you can't buy intrigents, an oven and everything else you need to run a bakerery. You need a minimum of profit to keep it running, don't you?

>If you own a bakery and pay the worker the full value for every bread he bakes, you can't buy intrigents, an oven and everything else you need to run a bakerery.
Right.
>You need a minimum of profit to keep it running, don't you?
Profit isn't sales minus wages. Regular business expenditures are not defined as something that is deducted from profit, rather profit is what remains after these expenditures. Saying "I regularly buy ingredients for my bakery from my profits running the bakery" would be an abuse of language to any accountant, Marxist, and (I hope) most people in general. On the other hand saying "I put my profits into expanding my business" or "I put my profits into a new project" is normal language. The difference is what you really have to do to just keep going and what you don't need to do but choose. The boundary between these two cases can get blurry at times.

Is it possible to be anti-imperialist but at the same time not care about nationalism liberalism movements as these have very little to do with socialism?
