RUSSIA BLAMES PALESTINIANS FOR THEIR OPPRESSION!!!

>Lavrov points out Palestinians’ historic ‘mistake’
>The rejection of the 1947 partition plan left the Arab population without a state, the Russian foreign minister has said

The Palestinians’ rejection of the 1947 UN partition plan was “a mistake,” but that’s not what children are taught in schools today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday.

The 1948 Arab-Israeli war signified a missed opportunity to create a Palestinian state and stabilize the Middle East, the diplomat told Al Arabiya.

“Three or four generations of Arab children came and went over this 80-year period. When they go to school… their teachers talk about Palestine’s history and… They probably omit the fact that the Palestinians made a mistake by refusing to create their own state in 1948,” he noted.

What children learn is how their people’s rights were ignored in recent decades, Lavrov added. In discussions with Russia, Israeli officials dismiss those grievances as insufficient to justify extremism.

“Probably not. Extremism knows no justification, but addressing the root causes is an imperative,” he said. Without a Palestinian state as originally intended by the UN, “there will be no stability or calm [in the Middle East].”

US President Trump promises new tariffs, slams Supreme Court decision
Instead of using IEEPA, Trump said on Friday that he would turn to the Trade Expansion Act to impose a 10 percent global tariff for 150 days, replacing some of the tariffs that were struck down by the court.
He added that investigations into unfair trade practices would allow him to expand his tariff campaign as well.

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show
The death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, would mark the earliest of at least six deadly shootings by federal officers since the start of a nationwide immigration crackdown in Donald Trump’s second term. On Friday, DHS said the shooting on South Padre Island last March occurred after the driver intentionally struck an agent.

Australia as Zionist-Occupied Territory
Australia has always been susceptible to the Zionist siren song. H. V. Evatt was a brilliant lawyer and High Court of Australia judge (at 36, the youngest appointee ever). He was also joint Foreign Affairs Minister and Attorney-General in successive Labor governments, 1941-49. However, Evatt moonlighted as Chair of the UN Special Committee on Palestine in 1947. In that capacity, through crude partisan means (while claiming otherwise), he legitimized the preposterous Resolution 181 (II) of November 1947 for the partition of Palestine – that Resolution itself the product of corrupt threats to voting members. Caroline Graham, sometime journalist and academic, has re-told the Evatt story. Graham cites Evatt’s contemporary – equally reputable lawyer, Pakistani delegate Muhammad Zafrulla Khan – who took umbrage at Evatt’s blocking of a submission of the partition plan to the recently empowered International Court of Justice. For Khan, this was “a confession that the General Assembly is determined to make recommendations in a certain direction, not because these recommendations are in accord with principles of international fairness and justice.” Yet Evatt is feted for his significant role in using UN auspices to legitimize the state of Israel then being forged by terrorist means.

Jeffrey Epstein and the psychology of bourgeois decadence
One of the great mysteries of society is what those who do terrible, unjustifiable things, think about their behaviour. How do they justify the unjustifiable? When posing the question, we often answer that they are in denial as to what they have really done; or that they admit it, but tell themselves it was the right thing to do, it is for the greater good, etc. The release of (some of) the Epstein files reveals that not only are the most depraved crimes imaginable being routinely committed by wide layers of the ruling class, but that in many cases those doing so are not in denial. Nor do they bother with any real justification for their acts beyond: “I can get away with it because I am special. The rules don’t apply to me and my friends”.

What you don't get is that your materialism is narrow to the point of idealism. You wield 'material conditions' as incantation, applying it to 1917 Russia or 1949 China with genuine analytical rigor, then pretending that 2026 Minneapolis or São Paulo or Jakarta present the same exact conditions. Your method works for the easily defined moments of ancient history. Modern capitalism is not ancient history with better technology. It is a much deeper mode of social organization requiring different analytical tools. The same can be said about the repressive apparatus of the bourgeoisie imperialists.

Your materialism stops at the factory gate, or where the factory used to be. You see precarity as 'the reserve army of labor' rather than a transformed relationship to production; you see surveillance as 'the bourgeois state' of the old days rather than a qualitatively different form of social control; your observations are appropriate 1905 and increasingly useless for 2026. This is not because reality has betrayed materialism but because your materialism has become mechanical, applying repeated formulas rather than investigating actual developing conditions.

The distributed network is not 'idealism' or 'petit-bourgeois left deviation.' It is the organizational form that emerges from material conditions you refuse to analyze & acknowledge. Imperialism in it's modern form, the geographic dispersal of USA working-class communities through suburbanization and deindustrialization, the collapse of stable workplace identity, the sophistication of state surveillance and preventive counter-insurgency, the ideological fragmentation produced by race, cultural production and social media. These are not 'superstructural' distractions from the 'real' economic base. They are the transformed base itself, the actual conditions under which revolutionary organization must now occur. Your response is to wait for conditions to return to clarity of a time we are no longer in. This is not materialist analysis but historical nostalgia, the substitution of past conditions for present investigation and praxis. The 'anarcho-maoist' joke is precisely against this waiting, this preservation of organizational form for conditions that may never return. We organize now, under present conditions, with the tools that present conditions make available and viablPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Polycentric Coordination
The idea that having top-down coordination means that all action must be initiated top-down is never true in practice, making it a misrepresentation of top-down management. I see the process of building a revolutionary organization as the process of moving from being able to produce local self-directed organizations to stitching together those organizations, first through federation and ultimately under a singular strategic command. Since strategy is a necessary aspect of war, having unified strategy must be necessary to winning revolutionary conflict. Socialists have never been averse to diversity of tactics, emulation, and polemics to iron out disagreements. These are all distributed and federative principles. But along with that, communists since Lenin have understood the need to simultaneously have unified action dictated by a leadership structure.

>Mass Line
Mass line is fundamentally authoritarian. It's a method of ensuring good-enough rule in lieu of democratic mechanisms. This is not a bad thing, I just wanted to point it out. Also your epistemology appears undialectical. There is no reason to say that lines of investigation should not be authoritatively resolved, unless you mean they should not be arbitrarily resolved by authorities. The goal of science is to grow the area of our knowledge that is considered resolved and undisputed. There's always an area which is still contested and an area which is resolved (though it can always be opened up for question again as new information comes in). This is basic dialectics, the identity of identity and non-identity. With science we have to respect genuine disputes and not arbitrarily consider them resolved, but the goal is always towards resolution. The word synthesis usually gets used to mean "eclectic hodgepodge", when as dialectical materialists we should understand that between two forces, one must win out. We shouldn't encourage the formation of a centrist middle ground between a right and a wrong understanding. That's not how science progresses.

>>The distributed vanguard is organizational form designed for persistence under advanced repression; polycentric coordination without centralized command, political wing separated from direct involvement in clandestine or militant network activity, base area infrastructure generating economic autonomy, security through compartmentalization and rotation. It emerges from material conditions spawned by sophisticated surveillance, territorial dispersal, complex preventive counter-insurgency webs / tech, all things that easily destroy hierarchical vanguard militancy.

>>Greece illustrates contemporary application. The 2008 uprising in response to police murder and subsequent years saw anarchist and marxist formations operating through distributed networks in multiple cities. Athens being the start, with Exarcheia as territorial base, solidarity structures for imprisoned militants, with federated coordination between varying groups and individuals, all autonomous from the control of the next, united on praxis and principle. The state could not decapitate because no head existed; could not map because topology shifted; could not infiltrate comprehensively because compartmentalization limited exposures impact.

On the differences of distributed and decentralized, and how they can overlap.

>>The distributed vanguard incorporates both decentralized and distributed forms because these address different organizational problems and operate at different scales of coordination.

>>Decentralization refers to the autonomy of local nodes, chapters, cells, base areas capable of independent action without central authorization. This form addresses survival under repression with no single point of failure, no decapitation target, continued operation when through loss of nodes. Genuine decentralization requires material self-sufficiency and tactical independence that is built.

>>Distribution refers to the network topology connecting these nodes, the horizontal relationships, federated coordination, information and resource flows that enable collective action without direct command. This form addresses coordination without concentration, the capacity for strategic unity that pure decentralization cannot achieve.

>>Distribution enables scaling, mutual aid between nodes, and rapid transmission of tactics and intelligence.
The distinction matters because decentralization without distribution produces fragmentation - isolated nodes that cannot support each other, coordinate defense, or generalize local gains. When you see the rapid speed of deployment I talked about earlier, this is due to the distributed network behind the decentralized. Distribution without decentralization produces vulnerability, centralized network infrastructure that repression can target, formal coordination mechanisms that infiltration can map.

>>The distributed vanguard requires both for this reason, decentralized nodes with genuine autonomy, distributed connections enabling coordination and rapid sharing of information and resources. The OG Panthers had neither in practice, centralized command with nominal local presence. Contemporary movements like Minneapolis post-2020 demonstrate both, autonomous local formations with horizontal coordination through shared infrastructure and federated assemblies.

YPJ Commander Newroz Ehmed answered our questions regarding the discussions surrounding the YPJ's presence in Rojava.
Following the agreement signed between the SDF and the Provisional Government of Damascus on January 30th, one of the questions on the minds of everyone who supports the Rojava resistance is what will happen to the YPJ. According to the agreement , a new military division composed of SDF fighters will be formed, and this division will consist of brigades. These brigades will be deployed to Hasakah, Qamishlo, and Derik. A special brigade will also be created for the Kobani forces, attached to the army division within the Aleppo borders. Responding to our questions on the subject, YPJ Commander Newroz Ehmed emphasized that the brigade system will not be a structure that swallows or dissolves the YPJ, but rather a tool that will more effectively reflect the YPJ's will on the ground .

<The interim government in Damascus did not recognize the representation of the YPJ from the March 10 agreement to the January 30 agreement. However, the latest agreement envisages the YPJ continuing its activities within the brigades that will be formed. What do you think were the main reasons for Damascus's change of stance?
The interim government in Damascus refused to recognize the YPJ. Because recognizing the YPJ meant recognizing women's liberation, the will of the people, and the emerging new social order. They chose to deny this reality. They stalled for a long time. But the truth on the ground shattered their policy of denial. It was impossible to back down in the face of the YPJ. Because the YPJ is not a structure established at a table. The YPJ is a resistance stronghold born in the bloodiest and darkest moments of the war. We didn't just carry weapons; we defended the people, we stood against ISIS, and we actively organized the will of women. The more the Damascus government ignored the YPJ, the more it was cornered on the ground, the more it sank into deadlock. It must be understood that the YPJ is not an ordinary military unit. The YPJ is the armed, political, and social expression of the women's liberation movement. Any force that seeks to eliminate the YPJ directly wages war against the democratic will of the people.

Deir Ezzor residents and activists complain about the poor state of education
Complaints and grievances from residents and education workers in rural Deir Ezzor increased over the deteriorating educational situation.
A number of activists appeared in the footage on school grounds, stating that the information shared on official announcements does not reflect the situation on the ground. One of the activists, who was accompanied by dozens of students, stated that the schools have not been repaired or prepared, that the students have not received books, and that the teachers' salaries have not been spent to this day.
The activist stated that the reports shared by the "Al-Akhbariya Al-Syria" channel are not true and added that the current situation is the opposite of what is being said, that schools need basic services, and criticized the neglect of students and teachers.
These complaints were made despite the difficult service situation in the Raqqa and rural Deir Ezzor regions.

The interim government announced the 'new opening' of the Shaddadi Hospital, which had been serving the community for years.
The Syrian Interim Government announced that the Shaddadi National Hospital in the rural area of ​​Hasakah has opened and begun admitting patients; its ambulance, pharmacy, and women's clinics have been activated, and it is providing general health services to the local population.

However, the Shaddadi Hospital, previously known as the "People's Hospital," was officially opened on October 6, 2022, by the Health Committee of the Democratic Autonomous Administration. As the first hospital in the southern region of Hasakah, the Shaddadi Hospital provided healthcare services to over 500 villages with a population of approximately 300,000.

In 2014, during the occupation of the southern rural areas of Hasakah by ISIS gangs, the gangs turned the hospital into a headquarters, and 90% of it was destroyed.

However, at that time, Talet Yûnis, Co-Chair of the Executive Council of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of Cizîr Canton, stated in his speech at the opening ceremony that approximately $1,514,000 had been spent on the construction and equipment of the hospital.

U.S. to Withdraw All Troops from Syria Within Two Months
Washington will fully withdraw its troops from Syria within two months, ending its decade-long military presence in the country. This follows a string of departures this year, as American soldiers have vacated the al-Tanf garrison and Shaddadi base. It marks the beginning of a new era of counter-terror operations in Syria, in which the U.S. will no longer play a direct role.

The U.S. has denied that the current withdrawal has any relation to the situation in Iran, where Washington has concentrated naval and air forces in the region for potential military actions should negotiations with Tehran fail. Instead, American officials have described the pull-out from Syria as a pre-planned step, saying that while Damascus is now able to independently manage counter-terrorism operations, U.S. forces will maintain their ability to respond to regional threats from ISIS.

<Counter-ISIS operations left to Syrian forces
Since Syrian Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa took power in December 2024, the U.S. had sought to engage with the new Syrian authorities for anti-ISIS operations – while also continuing its counter-terror operations with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the de facto autonomous region of North and East Syria (NES). The new Syrian Arab Army quickly joined operations with the Global Anti-ISIS Coalition, conducting independent raids based on American intelligence sharing.

Throughout 2025, Washington pushed Damascus and the SDF to reach an integration deal that would see a single, unified Syrian army capable of combating ISIS, yet disputes regarding integration mechanisms meant tangible progress was minimal. The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched an offensive into NES in early January this year, which led to over 150,000 people displaced as the SDF pulled back to defend Syria’s Kurdish-majority northern regions. Clashes ended on January 29, with the sides signing a new ceasefire and integration agreement.

<Question marks remain over Damascus
In a significant statement last month, U.S. Special Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack declared the end of SDF’s role and asserted that Damascus was “willing and positioned to take over security responsibilities”. At the same time, the New York Times reported that privately, American officials doubt the new SyrianPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Ukraine is less democratic than Russia. The current regime seized power illegally in 2014 and then set about banning opposition so that their power would be absolute and voting could only replicate the same faction over and over again. The most voting can do is change from one Maidan movement figure to another and you get the same policy (NATO uber alles) either way.
Russian elections are not rigged to ensure Putin wins. He wins because he's improved Russia in his time in power and because a majority of Russians agree with him about Ukraine. ("Free" bourgeois elections are not the same as democracy and can't change much anyway, but that's another story).

>Transitions between modes of production are of an uncertain nature. They are not always brought about by revolution, reform, or planning, but sometimes by a combination of all 3, or by blind historical forces operating over several centuries.
Wrong. Transition between any mode of production is of certain nature deduced by science. World and its laws are knowable. The only uncertainty comes from bourgeois mind. You defy scientific laws of history.
>The transition from primitive communism to slavery, and the transition from slavery to serfdom were neither brought about through the planning of the ruling class, nor through revolution, but through unplanned historical changes over several centuries.
You are utterly Wrong. With the development of productive forces some surplus was available and possibility of some people expropriating the labor products of other people occurred. Violent slave rebellions dealt severe blows to the political power of the slave owners and hastened the collapse of slavery. While slavery disintegrated, feudal production relations gradually matured. Only slave and peasant class struggles, slave and peasant rebellions, and slave and peasant wars were real motive force of historical development. Newly emerging landlords used power of the laboring people to overthrow rule of slave owners and established government of landlords.
>The notion that modes of production always (rather than merely sometimes) transform through deliberate revolution is ahistorical projection of the bourgeois revolutions forward in history. What history shows is that modes of production do exist and do change, but whether they change through revolution, reform, or in a totally unplanned way over a long period of time, is up to local material conditions.
Wrong. All fallacious arguments that 'one mode of production can pass peacefully to another' championed by bourgeois historian are totally contrary to facts. These are 'theories' serve to preserve system of exploitation and forbid working people to rise up and rebel.

this is entirely ahistorical. slavery existed in england before the normans (450-1066), but afterwards (1066-1485), feudalism was imposed on the english by the ruling class, not out of class struggle, but out of class domination. in fact, the real class struggle of this time was the nobility versus the royalty, such as with the two "baron wars" stretching across the 13th century, from 1215 to 1270, which gave us legal revolutions such as the magna carta (1215), that entered into english mythology for centuries afterwards. this is where history happened. after this we get the "hundred years war" (1337-1453). in the middle period of this international elite conflict we also had the peasant rebellions of 1381. these peasants we can compare to the burghers more than the serfs, since part of the rebellion were various guilds that terrorised flemish competition in london (a move later continued by henry viii who expelled foreign business in england). after this we get the war of the roses (1455-87) which places the tudors on the throne, from whence we get capitalist conditions. henry vii and henry viii confiscate land in service of the landed gentry, who are by now, formally incorporated into the house of lords (included in the primary act of the magna carta), and by which the lords temporal become a majority following 1540. thus, the class war of the middle ages was not serfs vs lords, it was kings vs nobles, and after this it's lords vs peasants. after this, we get the ascendancy of the bourgeoisie in northern europe, leading to the revolutionary conditions of the 17th century, which sees england become a republic and finally a constitutional monarchy, which gives supremacy to the house of commons. in all these cases, it is the elites contending for power over the masses, not the masses risPost too long.

similarly, in rome, the struggle was not slaves versus masters, it was patricians versus plebs; the two stratum of civil society, such as in the reported "struggle of the orders" (500 BCE - 280 BCE). the only notable slave rebellion gave rise to the myth of spartacus (a rebellious gladiator) in the "third servile war" (73 BCE - 71BCE), but this was not a political battle, but rather a claim of personal freedom by exile.

Why no Roman industrial revolution?

In my last post I repeated Marx’s phrase the the hand mill gave you the feudal lord the steam mill the industrial capitalist. One reader objected that this overstated the role of technology and that steam power was already known to the Romans. I concede that Marx over simplified. There were thousands of water mills in England recorded in the Domesday book. So ownership of water mills was a key part of the power of the feudal lords. A better phrase would have been that the water mill brings you the feudal lord the steam mill the industrial capitalist. But to return to the original question.

The ancient Romans already had a working steam turbine in Hero’s aeolipile. Why were they not able to turn this to use in industry, pumping water or turning millstones?

Why no industrial revolution in antiquity?

There are well known arguments about the social relations of slavery impeding the development of labour saving technology, but is this enough of an explanation?

We know that the ancients harnessed the power of water for grinding corn and other industrial uses, so they were not completely indifferent to artificial sources of power.
