Over 1,000 drivers, jeepney operators set to join transport strike in Bacolod City
The groups said they will stop operations to denounce the Marcos regime’s failure to control fuel prices, which the Oil Deregulation Law allows to rise unchecked. KNETCO said 85% of drivers and operators in Bacolod City are already earning insufficient daily incomes and have been driven into poverty. They will also demand that the Marcos regime remove the value-added tax and excise tax to reduce fuel prices. They will simultaneously push for diesel and gasoline prices to be rolled back to their previous price of ₱55/liter.

‘Forcing a reckoning’: How Asia is preparing for a ‘supersized’ El Niño
In Hong Kong, authorities have already been forced to revise workplace policies, after the city experienced its hottest day on record on 9 August. During times of extreme heat, companies are expected to reschedule work, provide cooling equipment and rest breaks for their employees. Employers in the international financial hub could even face prosecution if they fail to provide staff with support at times of sweltering heat. In mainland China a 100-day campaign has been launched to prepare for extreme weather and help safeguard harvests against the opposing extremes of drought and intense rainfall.

Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from the skies? No. Are they innate in the mind? No. They come from social practice, and from it alone; they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggle for production, the class struggle and scientific experiment. It is man’s social being that determines his thinking. Once the correct ideas characteristic of the advanced class are grasped by the masses, these ideas turn into a material force which changes society and changes the world. In their social practice, men engage in various kinds of struggle and gain rich experience, both from their successes and from their failures. Countless phenomena of the objective external world are reflected in a man’s brain through his five sense organs — the organs of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. At first, knowledge is perceptual. The leap to conceptual knowledge, i.e., to ideas, occurs when sufficient perceptual knowledge is accumulated. This is one process in cognition. It is the first stage in the whole process of cognition, the stage leading from objective matter to subjective consciousness from existence to ideas. Whether or not one’s consciousness or ideas (including theories, policies, plans or measures) do correctly reflect the laws of the objective external world is not yet proved at this stage, in which it is not yet possible to ascertain whether they are correct or not. Then comes the second stage in the process of cognition, the stage leading from consciousness back to matter, from ideas back to existence, in which the knowledge gained in the first stage is applied in social practice to ascertain whether the theories, policies, plans or measures meet with the anticipated success. Generally speaking, those that succeed are correct and those that fail are incorrect, and this is especially true of man’s struggle with nature. In social struggle, the forces representing the advanced class sometimes suffer defeat not because their ideas are incorrect, but because, in the balance of forces engaged in struggle, they are not as powerful for the time being as the forces of reaction; they are therefore temporarily defeated, but they are bound to triumph sooner or later. Man’s knowledge makes another leap through the test of practice. This leap is more important than the previous one. For it is this leap alone that can prove the correctness or incorrectness of the first leap in cognition, i.e., of the ideas, theories, policies, plans or measures formulaPost too long.

Libtards and Ukies, do you seriously think the country in this webm is better than the Russian shithole? This is absolute top-tier clown world, I completely lost it at 0:41. Moving here is supposed to be ‘making it in life’? Seriously? Are you guys completely brainwashed NPCs, or what?

They're all in cahoots. It's true, it's one big club, and (you) are not in it. Politics is just one big spectacle where the rabble gets exploited and killed. But the elites party and have their fun. Xi Jinping, the oh so great anti-imperialist. Of course!(b8 thread)

Why was Warsaw's destruction not declared a Nazi war crime by Nuremberg? Was it actually destroyed by Soviets? There was no Warsaw destruction listed in court sentence anywhere, despite Poles putting loads of documents for the court to consider, just like Soviets did with Katyn, but were repelled by the court.

Was Stalin responsible for Warsaw destruction the same way he lost Katyn case in Nuremberg?

Dachau and Buchenwald aren't mentioned in the sentencing either, weirdly enough. Auschwitz had an episode of women getting neutered in indictment, but no mention of it in the sentencing. Were the Soviets responsible for all of those, I wonder? Judging by how it is claimed that since Katyn is missing in the sentencing, it means that court refused the accusation

If he made right-wing influencers cry and threaten to leave the country, then it's already based

All the influencers who complained should get the NKVD treatment and get a job.

There needs to be proletarian disability justice movement. I think communists have ended up being pushed into seeing disability justice as some kind of frivolous idpol, and its not helped by the fact that so much of it is carried by very shortsighted middle-class ppl right now. The movement for disability rights has become associated with unreasonable, aggressive attempts at gaining accommodation (sometimes in cases where a reasonable discussion about accommodation could be had). While the actual ways that accommodation could begin to be pushed for, especially in working class context, are completely ignored.

Disabled people exist in the proletariat. Even when they're shut out of working jobs, they end up being confronted with the issue of being cared for. Their families, also working class, end up with this responsibility, and will have to make immense sacrifices (at least for mid-to-higher supports-need disabled individuals) as they can't afford daily care workers (usually). A lot of times they will opt out of this and abandon the disabled individual, to either die on the streets or end up in a poorly-funded public care facility, where the exact support services that they need are neglected and they live a terrible, shortened life. Even some disabled individuals with bourgeois family paying for their care deal with some of these problems, but of course the ones with working class origins have a much more guaranteed miserable fate.

Unions could fight for better workplace accommodation for the supports needs of disabled workers. The workplace is an extremely critical site for disability rights to be fought for within. And the issues of disabled workers should be addressed by their comrades. More public money could be spent on public care services that either work with families or host the disabled individual in a facility. These services could be empathetically based on the supports that a person needs

…However, where the fighting is actually taking place, Russia appears to be experiencing genuine exhaustion, as casualties continue to mount and Ukrainian drone strikes disrupt everyday life even in Moscow.
Meanwhile, its political leadership, and even more so its economic leadership, are reportedly exploring ways to extricate the country from its Ukrainian predicament, with the Trump administration in the United States facilitating efforts in that direction….

Read this book right now
A major problem I've been noticing through the years is that nobody fucking understands what dialectical materialism actually is. This book is entirely about explaining dialectical materialism.
Of course, it speaks of the philosophies that come before it but only to explain dialectical materialism itself (this is by itself a dialectical process, btw)

Read this shit and spread it!
