wtf is the "oriental mode of production"

I'm pretty sure the chinese didn't invent factories.

For marx, the asiatic mode of production is about the state monopoly on land ownership, and the apparent lack of division between town and country that was in asiatic society, where the ones doing agriculture and early industry where living in the same places, unlike feudal serfs (also control over irrigation)
It is a concept that has been mostly rejected by any contemporary marxists, including those in the soviet union, with some rebranding it the "tributary" mode of production, where the governing body exerce total control over vital sectors and lord over peasants without tying them to the land

The idea that immigrant laborers are responsible for driving down wages is rejected by Marx, and he regards the hostility between native and immigrant workers as an "artificial antagonism" that is exploited by the bourgeoisie to "maintain its power"
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1870/letters/70_04_09.htm
>Marx to Sigfrid Meyer and August Vogt In New York (1870)
<The ordinary English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers his standard of life.
<The Irishman pays him back with interest in his own money. He sees in the English worker both the accomplice and the stupid tool of the English rulers in Ireland.
<This antagonism is artificially kept alive and intensified by the press, the pulpit, the comic papers, in short, by all the means at the disposal of the ruling classes. This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the English working class, despite its organisation. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power. And the latter is quite aware of this.

>The idea that immigrant laborers are responsible for driving down wages is rejected by Marx
What? Read a bit further from your own source:
<Ireland constantly sends her own surplus to the English labour market, and thus forces down wages and lowers the material and moral position of the English working class.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1870/letters/70_04_09.htm
Fascinating how you lecture others to read yet can't do it yourself.
We can read Engels on the same topic decades earlier:
<Nothing else is therefore possible than that, as Carlyle says, the wages of English working-man should be forced down further and further in every branch in which the Irish compete with him. And these branches are many.

Does this fact mean you should hate immigrants? No.
Your issue is that you fail to broach toward an internal contradiction.

there is no transitional stage to societal transformation, all progress toward said transformation is transition in and of itself, where transition from every aspect of the current state of things is transformative

Lots of practical advantages through church networks, friends, jobs, marriage opportunities, feeling good by being part of a community, organizing charity (which is what that Houdini guy is constantly posting about).

> Why surrender what little agency you do have?
to be fair religoids believe in free will so technically they imagine they have more agency and aren't just a bunch of neurons firing according to physical law, but that they actually have a special little immaterial ghosty soul that pilots their body from outside reality like a flesh mech

If its all mass murder then you're also engaging in mass murder by not doing anything so the term means nothing. Take a stance faggot.

>>2929851
The difference is the good versions of MLs are doing mass murder in the name of creating conditions where that’s no longer a requirement

on the first point: the conflict is between people who distinguish between the ethnic cleansing of eastern europe and the final solution and those who don't. given the numbers of dead slavic and balkan peoples are in the 10s of millions it seems crass to exclude them from the holocaust figures given the term popularly refers to all the massacres, concentration camps, and death camps and all their victims.

>>2928633
To me 'the holocaust' refers specifically to the program of extermination camps that were set up, this includes all victims of those camps, Jews, slavs, homosexuals etc, but I would say that stuff like Generalplan Ost and Aktion T4 are seperate from the holocaust (though linked in many ways of course)

>>2929806
All of eastern europe are a bunch of ethnostates

>>2929838
I think that's an even more confused definition. I know you said Generalplan Ost, T4 etc., were linked with the Holocaust, but which act of mass murder is which? Is something like the Babi Yar massacres part of the Holocaust because it targeted Jews or is it part of General Plan Ost because the Jews were Soviet Slavs? Was the liquidation of the Polish Jews in the extermination camps in the GG part of the Holocaust or was it part of German settler colonialism in Poland since part of the reason for the Ghettos being crammed with Jews was because of deportations to make room for German settlers in the Warthegau?

The KL-system was also established as an internment system for political opponents during the Machtergreifung rather than for the sake of mass killing, and its prison population was majority non-Jewish for the majority of its existence. It had even almost ceased to exist in the 30s with just a few thousand inmates. Despite that, even if you exclude the Jews that were simply murdered at Auschwitz without registration into the KL, the camps still account for almost a million deaths, with some of the first acts of outright systemic murder being against Soviet POWs and "commissars". The extermination camps were set up specifically for the mass murder of Polish Jews during Operation Reinhardt and the vast majority of victims (>95% except for Sobibor where it was about half) came exactly from those Polish ghettos, with the rest being Jews from elsewhere. Many of the T4 euthanasia personnel were also present at the extermination camps, so that is another link between two different victim groups. There were of course also genocidal acts that were not perpetrated by the Germans, but by their allies or by local nationalist groups and auxiliaries which complicates things even more. There was also not really a single experience for a victim group. For example, Jews in Romania proper fared much better than Jews in the areas it re-annexed from the Soviet Union.

Like yeah, obviously all this stuff is linked, but I feel like Nazi mass murder was too interlinked to consider them apart like this at all. Nazi terror was extremely multi-causal (think food, loot, forced labour, anti-partisan activity, anti-communism, population transfers, you name it) and had a kaleidoscopic ideological base, so I think, maybe a bit paradoxically,Post too long.

After Colombia's exit, what is left of the Hague Group?
Under former president Gustavo Petro, the Colombian state found it so difficult to halt coal shipments to Israel through diplomatic and bureaucratic channels that Petro called on the Wayuu, an Indigenous people of La Guajira, to occupy the train lines. Now, his right-wing successor has signed a decree resuming those exports, and Colombia has walked away from the Hague Group, the coalition it once co-chaired to hold Israel to account for breaches of international law. Its departure in August made it the third founding member, alongside Bolivia and Honduras, to leave the Hague Group in six months, leaving co-chair South Africa to steer the bloc alone. The Hague Group was founded in January 2025 by these nations, joined also by Cuba, Malaysia, Namibia and Senegal. "The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity," South African Minister of International Relations Ronald Lamola told the meeting. … The group is a kind of coalition of the willing attempting to ensure that international law is enforced in the face of a push by the United States and its allies to dismantle much of the global legal and humanitarian order. Political will is therefore essential. But in Latin America, a region where pink-wave politics once galvanised government support for Palestinians rights, the rise of a new right-wing order has led Post too long.

North Korea Another Country by Bruce Cummings. Very good at explaining the historical and cultural reasons as to why the DPRK does such strange things to our western eyes.

I was hoping there would be more updates & discussion here for my temporary visit. This is one of the only (if not the only) thread on leftypol main board that is genuinely worth visiting. Thanks in part to dprknewsanon.

I wonder how rural rejuvenation campaigns are proceeding. Particularly where infrastructure is concerned (I know there were a few power islands requiring local small scale power plants in many areas, like 500kw to 2mw style scattered around; Obviously expanding the grid would enable far greater scale economies).
