/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

I want to say again that this is one of the few threads on this site that make it worth checking in on from time to time (raids by very obvious liberals notwithstanding).

Warm regards to wholesomedprkanon.

Point is that they never criticise Denmark or its government, it's always someone else's fault. For example, the US alone is to blame for military bases in Denmark, not the government that made the deal and allowed Americans to build the bases.

They never lead on issues, but try to piggyback on existing movements and follow what is trendy. They support "green energy" and advocatd for windmills, but don't say anything positive about nuclear energy. Nuclear energy isn't even part of their program/goals.

Sounds like most communist parties in northwestern Europe, very chauvinist and trotesque with it's condemnation of successful socialist states. Also the "we're the least racist people on earth" is a staple for basically all europeans, while of course being insanely racist in actuality

СССР завтра, когда КПРФ решиться на нажатие красной кнопки коммунизма

Russian libs have fully embraced brezhnevite copium about why USSR didn't have 30 different brands of kolbasa and everything was the same and stale and why there is a 10+ year gap in consumer technologies - but in regards to Europe and USA being worse than Russia. What a fucking twist

Newsom signs bill giving 800,000 Uber and Lyft drivers in California the right to unionize
The new law is part of an agreement made in September between Newsom, state lawmakers and the Service Employees International Union, along with rideshare companies Uber and Lyft. In exchange, Newsom also signed a measure supported by Uber and Lyft to significantly cut the companies’ insurance requirements for accidents caused by underinsured drivers.

Leqaa Kordia has been held since March for overstaying a visa, after participating in multiple pro-Palestinian protests=
In her first interview since her arrest, Kordia said recently that she was motivated to protest because of deep personal ties to Gaza, where more than 170 relatives have been killed. The government has cast those ties as suspect, pointing to Kordia’s money transfers to relatives in the Middle East as evidence of possible ties to terrorists.

Democrats Are Screwing Up the Shutdown
Schumer, Jeffries, and other senior Democrats always mention health care at some point in their statements, but it’s hard to escape the impression that their real passion is reserved for issues of process and decorum. They seem especially concerned with establishing that the other side drew first blood. Their core complaint seems to be that Trump and the Republicans broke from precedent by presenting the Continuing Resolution (CR) that would have continued funding as an ultimatum rather than negotiating about details. A video released on Thursday by Schumer’s Senate colleague Bernie Sanders exemplifies a strikingly different approach. In this walk-and-talk video, Sanders starts by saying he just ran into democratic socialist congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). After an opening thirty seconds of sweet and slightly silly greetings, the two cut to the case. Bernie asks AOC why she didn’t vote for the Continuing Resolution. She replies, simply and directly, that by cutting subsidies for buying health insurance for state exchanges, the immediate effect of the CR would be that millions of Americans would see their monthly insurance premiums double.

The Gen Z revolutions: India next?
After Nepal joined Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the list of countries yet to be roiled by revolution on the Subcontinent has been reduced to three: India, Pakistan and the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.

Good thing there's always weed. Sweet fucking weed. They have 40% off edibles this weekend at my neighborhood dispensary. I like the blueberry ones best.

It's too complex a decision, choosing the "best" president. We have a long and varied history. I don't know enough about all of them.

>And if he dies, this remains with others.
he's talking about baby boiling techniques btw

some anon asked here what do Czech MLs think about the Slánský trial but for some reason deleted his post.

My answer: There are very few actual MLs in Czechia. There is no ongoing discussion about Slánský and probably never was. The CZ translation of the Splinter Factor book was published by a communist publisher, so I guess the majority of them would say it was a CIA provocation. But there is no original research on their part. (The only thing I was able to find was a book by major Košťál, one of the interrogators, where he denies that Slánský and co. were tortured)

>It is still odd to me that so many nations and countries rely upon torture despite its proven ineffectiveness.
It's all because of the accursed word, profit, profit, profit.
When you reward people for number of criminals they catch, then some will definitely use methods to turn innocents into criminals.
If you reward people for low number of crimes, then some will hide the criminals.
If you reward soldiers for number of enemies they kill, then they will kill civilians and call civilians enemies.

Profit is the root of all evil.

I noticed Smith anon that your strongest opinions seem to be:

1. Machines can create value rather than just transfer it
2. Value is a social construct and not a magnitude of SNLT

They dont understand what critique means in German Philosophy. I guess they think that Kant was a hater of reason.

>If you are going to criticize my positions or proposals offer criticism with actual substance or the only thing I can critique is your character
Or just ask. Just say you did not understand the statement. Don’t just start critiquing my character when you know nothing about it.

The critique is that while you did bring some good ideas to the table, you ultimately negated that when you introduced dengism, and arguably made things worse by adopting an ideology that promotes more openness towards capitalist tendencies.

More military aid treats and intervention help for the afghani communists, humanitarian aid treats for derg ethiopia and zero treats for vietnam

Try to figure out how to significantly cut military spending without getting overthrown or destabilizing the country by unleashing a horde of unemployed soldiers.
The Soviet military had three main purposes:
1. Deter foreign aggression.
2. Assist the spread of Soviet power and communism in foreign lands.
3. Hold the Soviet Union together by force if necessary.
Now let's examine these.
1. Nuclear weapons already deterred foreign aggression enough, there was no reason to spend such a huge portion of the economy on the conventional military.
2. To the extent that this succeeded, it did not help the Soviet Union one bit once the Soviet Union started to collapse.
3. This didn't end up happening when the Soviet Union started to dissolve, for the most part the military just stood aside and let the country disintegrate. So the resources spent for this purpose were wasted.
