Four Indonesian military personnel go on trial over acid attack on rights activist
Three navy marines and one air force officer, all assigned to the intelligence agency of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), are charged with serious premeditated assault over last month’s attack on Andrie Yunus, a human rights lawyer and senior activist with the Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of Violence (KontraS), who suffered severe injuries. The case has reignited concerns about impunity for the armed forces.

Watched, Tracked, Hacked! IFJ Study Finds Global Systemic Surveillance of Journalists
Amid data centres mushrooming across the world, the study revealed that data harvested through these mechanisms is fed into artificial intelligence (AI) dashboards that correlate calls, messages, geolocation data, and online activity –automating surveillance at a scale once unimaginable. “In conflict zones, such as Gaza or Ukraine, AI systems now fuse telecom and drone feeds to identify and track journalists, blurring the line between observation and physical targeting”, the IFJ said.

Supreme Court weakens a landmark Civil Rights-era law and aids GOP efforts to control the House
In a 6-3 ruling, the court’s conservative majority found that Louisiana district represented by Democrat Cleo Fields relied too heavily on race. Chief Justice John Roberts had described the 6th Congressional District as a “snake” that stretches more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) to link parts of Shreveport, Alexandria, Lafayette and Baton Rouge. “That map is an unconstitutional gerrymander,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the six conservatives.

Maryland becomes first state to ban surveillance pricing in grocery stores
When engaging in surveillance pricing, stores rapidly change the cost of products based on consumer data, including their location, internet search history and demographics. That means buyers are paying different prices for the same items purchased around the same time. Critics of this method – also known as dynamic pricing – say that in doing so, businesses are effectively charging each person the most that they’re willing to pay.

International May Day Agitation
In preparation for the upcoming May Day, there have been multiple actions and calls internationally, we hereby share some of them. In Turkey, multiple agitation actions have been carried out. In Esenyurt and Okmeydanı, as well as in Şahintepe, Okmeydanı, Avcılar and areas along the Kadıköy-Gebze line, leaflets have been distributed, banners erected, graffiti painted and stickers put up, calling for the participation with Partizan in the May 1st demonstration in Taksim Square, Istanbul. Some of the slogans erected include: “On its 50th Anniversary, Taksim Belongs to the People, From Past to Future!” and “The Land is Ours, the Labor is Ours, the World Will Be Ours!”.

Shoplifting and class struggle
On the evening of 15 December 2025, just before 9:40 PM, a large group of people dressed as Santa Claus and his elves went into a supermarket in Montreal. They moved calmly through the supermarket aisles, filling their sacks with food. Within minutes they left taking thousands of dollars' worth of groceries, none of which was paid for. Santa and his masked elves then went to the Christmas tree in the central square. Underneath the twinkling lights, they laid out the stolen food and attached signs that read ‘Christmas is expensive, free food’. The remaining groceries were distributed to community fridges across Montreal. In a statement released afterwards, the group said they were responding to rising food prices and supermarket profiteering. ‘We work more and more just to be able to buy food from supermarket chains that are using inflation as a pretext to make record profits’, the statement read. ‘A handful of companies are holding our basic needs hostage…. For us, that is theft.’ The Santa Claus stunt in Montreal comes at a moment when shoplifting is once again a central political talking point in the UK. In recent years, shoplifting has skyrocketed.

Honest question (NOT trolling):

What exactly should the western left do for Palestine that they haven’t already been doing for the past 2.5 years (or even longer for that matter)?

I’ve seen Palestinian activists say “we need to do more to stop the genocide” more times than I can count. But what should we feasibly be doing that we’re not doing already? Boycotts? Mass protests? Blockading arms sales? Policing your peers’ consumer habits so they’re compliant with BDS? Making lists of politicians who receive money from AIPAC and voting them out? We’ve done this already. In NYC, there was a mass protest every fucking weekend where we were told to “escalate for Gaza” yet we never escalated; I don’t even fucking know what “escalate” is supposed to mean. Were we supposed to be engaging in violent riots and molotoving the banks or whatever?

I asked this to a comrade of mine and he said: “You know what we mean when we want the left to do more for Palestine.” By that, he clearly means engage in political violence, bring back the Weathermen. But how would ultra-left adventurism do anything? Elias Rodriguez did exactly this and is now facing life in prison for killing two interns who were replaced the next day. What a fucking waste.

The American left is way too weak, disorganized, and incompetent to do anything meaningful to help the Palestinians resist or stop Israel. It’s gotten to the point where people are putting all their hope and faith in the idea Israel will collapse on its own because they’ve run out of strategies. So what should the left be doing that it’s not doing already? Give clear examples.

Psued take. Palestinians/arabs are absolutely racialized by israel.

>>2796704
Because of competing nationalisms. Palestinians are not a race and Jews are not a race. Israeli marriage laws are actually based on Ottoman marriage laws.

Most Israeli Jews are the same colour as most Palestinians. This conflict is mostly brown-on-brown violence.



 

2,977 yanks were killed because of the Oslo Accords and the Gilf War. That then dragged America into a 20 year war that it ultimately lost. 2,000 more US servicemen died during Operation Enduring Freedom. This is justice for 400 years worth of oppression towards indigenous peoples and black people. Prove me wrong. America the Great has fallen. 9/11 and 10/7 were the two days when the US and Israel finally felt what they dished out to so many others. They're the reason the Middle East is so unstable. Anglos, Jews and Arabs are all in on it together. The US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE and Oman got to go.

I don't think this is that accurate given that most who died probably supported US imperialism and deserved it. I do not, however, see 9/11 as a positive event because it also killed many innocent people.

I'm really new to politics. What I understood so far is:

socialism: social property of the "means of production" (it can be both democratic or revolutionary)
communism: stateless and classless society
marxism: a sociopolitical and economic analysis of society based on the idea that class struggle under capitalism will eventually lead to a socialist and then communist society

They are different concepts, but can work in a same framework depending on how you define them.

Am I right?

>decisions have to be planned by rationality and reason not by popularity.
Humans are not rational agents. And indeed, society is such a large organism that it is impossible for society to collectively plan production without competing interests existing. We've seen the 20th century play out, we know a rationally planned economy is not possible.
I think it would be better for producers and consumers to work out their interests and plan locally according to their needs, but I don't think a planned, centralized communist society is possible.

>>2796793
>we know a rationally planned economy is not possible.
only if the richest half of the world refuses to have a revolution for some reason

>>2796793
we're already under a planned economy if you look at how huge business functions,it's just built for profit

>>2796793
>I think it would be better for producers and consumers to work out their interests and plan locally according to their needs
That's basically what I wrote though, you just don't want to say it should function rationally because some people won't be rational but that's expected, nobody is pushing idealism to say all humans are rational. But humans should strive to make rational decisions.

>>2796954
Also Fichte already answered the question of contradiction of interests, its compromise or conflict.



 

I've been reading a book about the limits of science, one of it's topics is about the idea of chaos and how complex system cannot be fully know to us or controlled, that does it imply that a planned economy is theoretically impossible for us? What is the answer from socialist about this problem? After that question I'm starting to lean towards a market socialism to deal with the question economy complexity, what's is the LeftyPol answer to the question of economic complexity?

BUmperino

The economy is only limited by the division of labour. If you allow for more specialised labour to flourish, it is harder to control.

>>2796739
You put an ultimatum on something that hasn't even been structured for an attempt, planned production isn't impossible, you fell for the same bullshit premise as "economic miscalculation problem".

>Wagner are extremly incompetent and failing to beat the Jihadis, the Jihadis were helped by Ukraine for a bit, but most of their support is local, they're winning because Mali and Wagner is corrupt.
wagner (actually its called africa corps now) is mostly light infantry, the problem isnt that they're incompetent or corrupt (although they likely are, given they're mercenaries fucks), the problem is they dont have much heavy equipment or air support and arent many (and the most skilled guys prolly were kept in russia for the war). They're a small support force mostly there to help with shit like training or radio jamming
And I suspect france is helping the jihadist too. Just after france was kicked out mali had managed to retake kidal, a feat french military never helped with, and now they're becoming stronger and striking back and there were report of ukrainians helping them out, so its safe to assume the west empire is backing them as retaliation for the sahel states giving them the boot and nationalizing shit.

>the end of this war is probably a de facto independant islamic state in Northern Mali

The law can't explicitly give the bourgeoisie amnesty from crimes. Often the laws are written so that in practice they're exempt, but in this case making it so that porky can't get busted simply for being on Epstein's Island "looking for a wild party" also means that fully grown adults trying to meet kids IRL is hard to convict.

I was talking to a lumpen worker happy that a liberal socialdemocrat won the election, he thinks that the succdem is a "man of the people, he will fix everything". And we talked for a bit yelling. But it got me thinking, the lumpen had no problem with the ruling class as long as his needs were met, and for the large part even in spite of the miserable manual labour - were being met. So why do we demand an economy of needs - production planned on needs "from each according to their ability to each according to their need" if capitalism already fulfills their needs? They will still work, not for wages but it would be the same jobs. Its just that the drive for profit and class causes damage to the planet and misery for the manual laborers but as long as their needs are met they don't really care. They don't want planned production they want somebody else to think for them and most have just accepted their roles in contempt so feel no need for a DOTP - ruling is somebody else's problem to them.
Plus the lumpen laugh at the size of the "real movement" - how many are you? You're too little to change anything.
Lumpens do admire China but China doesn't care for anything besides its own citizens.(Why the fuck was this reported?)
