/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

trying to read das but both it and secondary sources take the labor value theory as a 'given'

i saw in a letter by marx he doesnt feel the need to prove it but i rlly dont understand

i see people here constantly talk about theory and the writers of said theory so i'm kinda curious what everyone's taste is for stuff outside of philosophy.

‘Board of Peace’ to launch ‘Hamas-free’ camps as Israel tightens grip on Gaza
Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom reported that the first site will open in Tel Sultan, near Rafah, “within weeks”, and house civilians “with no weapons or affiliation with Hamas”. It added that the zone will be policed by a “multinational force”, known as the International Stabilisation Force (ISF), which will be equipped with “non-lethal weapons” and operate from the Israeli Amitai Camp near Gaza under the command of the board. According to the report, while aid and temporary housing will be supplied to the areas, Board of Peace officials have pledged not to import concrete into Gaza.

So what's the lefty/pol/ Righist Cope Patrol's line on these countries joining the BoP under literal "chairman for life" Donald Trump?
· Vietnam (Ae Ea Ss!1)
· Belarus (Need I comment? Le last remnant of the USSR, guys!)
· Kazakhstan (/leftypol/ was REALLY SUPPORTIVE of when the Kazakh government and their Russian masters lethally repressed the proletarian-led (oil rig strike) protesters in 2022!)
· Cambodia ([search engine] Kampuchean People's Revolutionary Party (KPRP) if you don't already know about Vietnam's responsibility for this mess)
· BRICS vanguard Indonesia, UAE and Egypt!

/LEFTYPOL/ SEEMS REALLY AVOIDANT OF THE TOPIC! WHAT GIVES?

genuinely, why the FUCK is no one talking about el niño?
usually the media will use known nothingburgers to alarm people while sweeping actual happenings under the rug, compare ebola/hantavirus to the covid pandemic, for example. the fact that we're all dead silent about this potentially never-before-seen happening is extremely worrying to me, what do they know? is it really as bad as current predictions? could it be fucking worse?
the most optimistic predictions would place this as the worst el niño in history, even worse than the 19th century one which resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. now, combine that with pre-existing shortages in the supply chains due to the iran war, which limits the amount of fertilisers available, and we could be looking at a total catastrophe, we'd face floods, famines, and even worse temperatures, with effects varying depending on geographical location

the worst part is, i cant even find any cope trying to debunk this like you had with covid, people are just accepting it or covering their ears trying to ignore it, this gives me a reaaaally bad feeling, im starting to tweak out. are we genuinely fucked? is it unironically over?

Sources say Defence Minister David McGuinty was unaware the Azov Brigade soldier had been invited to RMC Saint-Jean.

A non-commissioned officer with a Ukrainian unit linked to neo-Nazis has received military training in Canada and graduated from a Canadian Forces leadership course. Previously, the Canadian Forces and Department of National Defence maintained they would not train or associate with the controversial Azov Brigade. But a member of the brigade was at the Royal Military College Saint-Jean in Quebec for leadership training from Jan. 13 to Feb. 5, 2026, according to Canadian soldiers who contacted the Ottawa Citizen. Objections to the Azov soldier’s presence were submitted by Canadian Forces personnel to military leaders immediately, but were ignored.

Defence Minister David McGuinty, in a statement to the Ottawa Citizen, said “at no point has Canada’s mandate included training members of the Azov Battalion.”

“We have reinforced our policy to prevent any recurrence and remain firmly opposed to Nazism, racism, and all forms of extremism while promoting human rights, and the rule of law in all international engagements,” he added.

Department of National Defence spokesperson Kened Sadiku said Ukraine had previously been explicitly told not to send members of the Azov Brigade to Canadian military training. Despite identifying the presence of the Azov soldier in the non-commissioned member leadership training program, the Canadian Forces decided to allow him to continue participating.

We all hate Elon Musk because he wields immense political power and has exploited the labor of thousands of workers, but is there such a thing as an “ethical rich”? What would happen to YouTubers, singers, and artists during a revolution? Technically, they don’t harm anyone, could someone in a socialist state become wealthy by excelling in art, music, or generally creating something that others really enjoy?

Kiwifarms has officially shut down at least on the clearnet. Sometimes id use it, but it was mostly made up of some of the grossiest bigots ever, and also major hypocrites.

It is pretty funny the site created to make fun of lolcows were the real lolcows all along.

>Siezed the state instead of abolishing it

>Successfully used it to create the largest welfare state in existence

>Helped create all sorts of monarchical socialist states

Yes, Leftcoms, the USSR was a Lassallean Social Democracy; and that's a good thing.

In the 19th century and early 20th century, workers were gigachads, ubermenschen. Not because of phony Mendelism-Morganism, or Weissmanist neo-Darwinism, not because of phony bourgeois-idealist "natural selection" or, Marx forbid, "genes" (which do not exist either in heritable or molecular form)… no, workers were ubermensch gigachads because they were forged in the fires of workplaces without protective equipment or safety laws or child labor laws. From a young age, workers were vernalized in their workplaces, hardening, growing calloused skin and swollen muscles. Their testosterone increased and their number of Y chromosomes even tripled, making them more male than the most manly men of today. This is why social fascist reforms made the workers weak. Workplace safety, protective equipment, child labor laws. These turned the workers into fat soft treatlers. By abolishing these bourgeois heresies we can make workers strong again, capable of class war again. This is because lysenko was right about vernalization, which applies to workers as well as crops. Only fascist gene-believers say otherwise. Abolish safety equipment and child labor laws to vernalize the future red army TODAY!

Remember, comrades. The Weismannist-Mendelist-Morganist theory is reactionary and idealistic, a tool of the bourgeois, while the Michurinist-Lysenkoist (ML!!!) theory is dialectical-materialist and proletarian. The victory of Michurinism-Lysenkoism is a victory of socialism over capitalism and fascism. Hitler's racial policies can be traced to the bourgeois genetic theory.
