SO LONG, SPACE COWBOYS

Recent news:
Keep in mind the previous thread lasted months, so these events are separated by weeks.

Suwayda conflict basically freezes.
Minor clashes between SDF & STG.
STG attempts to capture Omar Omson, the leader of a French foreign Islamist faction accused of kidnapping women, at his base in Idlib countryside. They fail and come to a truce.
More clashes between SDF & STG.
Small anti-Alawite pogrom in Homs caused by the murder of two Sunnis there, despite STG investigation revealing that there was no sectarian motive to the murder.
Protests by Alawites in the coastal region in response to the pogrom. Multiple deaths among protestors, counter-protestors and STG security forces.
Multiple deaths among US soldiers during a joint STG-US patrol in Palmyra. The attacker infiltrated and was a part of the STG's MoI and was with the patrol.
The STG-SDF conflict escalates. SDF agrees to withdraw from Deir Hafer in exchange for a ceasefire, but the STG & tribal auxiliaries keep advancing despite the ceasefire. Revolts by Arab tribes inside of the SDF and them losing a lot of territory makes them sign an integration agreement that basically amounts to capitulation.

I've come to the conclusion that right wingers (especially American ones) are completely indifferent to the idea of them or anyone they care about being killed. You might see them fearmongering about it every time there's a minority in the news for doing something violent, but they react that way any time a minority is in the news for any reason, good or bad. Or on TV at all. Or even just out on the street. It's the fact that they're forced to be reminded that minorities exist at all that is truly making them lash out.

Conversely, when a cishet white person kills someone, even if it's someone they allege to care about, they shrug their shoulders and think nothing of it. White guy shot my husband? Well it wasn't a trans so I don't really care anymore. White guy shooting citizens in their cars without consequence? Whatever, at least I see fewer brown people outside. My own child dies because I didn't get them vaccinated against measles? Well, that was my decision, and I'm white, so who cares? Half my family drowns or starves because the president tricked me into refusing disaster aid? Why should I care, rich white people can do whatever they want! And don't even get me started on their military cuckoldry fixation.

What do you even call this phenomenon? Psychopathy? Extreme NPC Syndrome? It's hard to even believe that people like this are real, let alone such a large percentage of the population.

Death is scary though

Yes they did not fear death, where do you think the day of the dead came from?

>>2655428
Indeed. Inca was a young empire with tributary relations with communities, which communities already had tradition of communal labor obligations and communal system before empire. It's legit.

>>2655434
Life is worse.

>>2655428
That's just a quote from the article he's responding to, which talks about the Day of the Dead celebration they are participating in. He uses this to make a broader point about the Amerindian civilizational culture, specifically the Inca

>We have taken this article from an Italian children’s comic just as it is and under its own title. It is one of countless rehashes of U.S. “cultural” production which pass from tabloid to tabloid and from review to review without the hacks in service noticing anything other than the degree of effect of each piece that circulates. This umpteenth copycat has not even dreamt of the deeper meaning that its diffusion hides, albeit in a conventionally conformist guise.
>The noble Mexican population, having become Catholic under the merciless terror of the Spanish invaders, would show that they have remained “primitive” by not being terrified and horrified of death.

>If under the guise of the squalid Catholic saints the most ancient form of a not-inhuman divinity, like the Sun, continues to live, this brings to mind what knowledge we have — all too often a travesty! — of the Incan civilization that Marx admired. It is not that they were primitive and ferocious enough to sacrifice the most beautiful specimens of their young to the Sun who cried out for human blood, but that such a community, magnificent and powerfully intuitive, recognised the flow of life in that same energy which the Sun radiates on the planet and which flows through the arteries of a living man, and which becomes unity and love in the whole species, which, until it falls into the superstition of an individual soul with its sanctimonious balance sheet of give and take, the superstructure of monetary venality, does not fear death and knows personal death as nothing other than a hymn of joy and a fecund contribution to the life of humanity.

This is when he starts talking about primitive communism and shit. Which makes sense, because they were the ones sacrificing the "most beautiful specimens of their young", not this little tribe by the lake where they dress up for day of the dead

The absolute state of the discourse on this board lately is pathetic. It’s almost 2026 and I’m still seeing "socialists" parroting CIA talking points like they’re reading from the Black Book of Communism. It’s time to filter the radlibs and the ultras who care more about moral purity than winning.

If we actually apply historical materialism instead of utopian wish-casting, it becomes obvious that Stalin and Deng aren't just "good" – they are the two greatest practitioners of Marxism in history because they did what Western leftists refuse to do: they prioritized the survival of the revolution over the approval of the bourgeoisie.

1. Stalin: The Shield
Stop crying about "authoritarianism" and read Losurdo. His Critique of a Black Legend completely exposes how the "millions dead" narrative is just recycled Nazi war propaganda that the West adopted during the Cold War. The "Holodomor" wasn't a genocide; it was a combination of kulak sabotage and cyclical drought that the Soviets eventually ended through collectivization. Stalin understood that you don't survive capitalist encirclement with good vibes. He took a country of wooden plows and turned it into a nuclear superpower in a single generation. He purged the fifth columnists because he knew a war of annihilation was coming. Without that "authoritarianism," the Wehrmacht would have wiped the Slavs off the map.

2. Deng: The Sword
The hate for Deng is even more embarrassing. You guys claim to care about the poor but hate the man who oversaw the greatest poverty alleviation program in human history? Deng understood that "poverty is not socialism." He developed the productive forces necessary to compete with the West. And regarding 1989: He saved China from the fate of the USSR. Tiananmen was a textbook color revolution, backed by Western NGOs and intelligence. Deng saw Gorbachev selling out to Pizza Hut and realized that sometimes you have to crush a counter-revolution to preserve the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Because he had the spine to do that, China is now mogging the US economy while Russia spent the 90s getting looted by oligarchs.

TL;DR
Parenti said it best in Blackshirts and Reds: you people want a revolution without a revolution. You want a clean, safe process that never makes mistakes and never exercises power. That doesn't exist. Stalin secured the state; Deng secured the economy. If you reject them, you’re not Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

What you should know about the Syrian government-SDF truce agreement
A central pillar of the ceasefire deal revolves around the integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces into Syrian state institutions. Under the truce deal, SDF fighters and security personnel are to be individually vetted before being integrated into Syria’s defence and interior ministries. Civilian institutions that were previously administered by branches of the SDF are also stipulated to be absorbed into state structures, per the agreement. Al-Sharaa said that the current ceasefire plan remains in line with the 10 March agreement, which called for the integration of all civil and military institutions to be under the control of Damascus.

ISIL fighters flee jail as Syrian army clashes with Kurdish-led SDF
The Syrian Operations Authority also told SANA that control of the al-Aqtan prison and security facilities in the city northeast of Raqqa would be assumed by the Ministry of Interior following the operation, and claimed that the SDF had deliberately released ISIL members. The army did not say how many fighters had been released from the prison. The SDF said in a statement that it had lost control of the prison after an attack by the army, a claim that the military has denied.

Judge refuses to block new DHS policy limiting Congress members’ access to ICE facilities
Cobb said she wasn’t ruling on whether the new policy passes legal muster. Rather, she said, plaintiffs’ attorneys representing several Democratic members of Congress used the wrong “procedural vehicle” to challenge it. The judge also concluded that the Jan. 8 policy is a new agency action that isn’t subject to her prior order in the plaintiffs’ favor.

DOJ says won’t investigate ICE agent’s fatal shooting of Renee Good
Speaking to Fox News on Sunday night, Blanche said the civil rights unit of the Justice Department would not bow to pressure to investigate the shooting death of Minneapolis resident and mother Good, 37, earlier this month. “We don’t just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody,” said Blanche. “We investigate when it’s appropriate to investigate.” “So, no, we are not investigating. And if there comes a time when we need to, we will, but it’s not now,” Blanche added.

CP of Greece, Mass event at the Athens University of Economics and Business: Solidarity is our weapon–The people of Venezuela will win!
Following the mobilizations that unfolded from the very first moment of the imperialist intervention in Venezuela, members and friends of the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) from universities in Athens gathered on Thursday, 15 January, at the Athens University of Economics and Business for an event in solidarity with the people of Venezuela and, more broadly, with the struggles of the peoples worlwide. At the opening of the event, KNE members formed the slogan “Solidarity with the people of Venezuela” using pickets inside the packed amphitheatre where the event was held, while chanting slogans in solidarity with the struggles of the peoples. The event was attended by Themis Gionis, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE).

It doesn't matter if everyone has to wear red on Tuesdays, or sing Maoist songs at their workplaces. So long as everyone does it there's no material consequences. The moment actions start to change the material conditions of man, or the structure of power they become significant. Is there room any longer for: peace, freedom, equity, and fairness? Spooks. The moral principles and value to institutions which have made our social fabric have run their course. Only power and material conditions remain.

Define for me power materially

>>2644048
Your five words have tied me in a bit of a knot. These two forces were intentionally distinguished from one another, but perhaps this was wrong, and power is empty without material implications.

Trying to untangle this knot, I've run into several problems. The most significant is thinking in terms of there being things which rather than being materially inconsequential are in fact immaterial. Spooks.

So you can debate whether or not hate speech legislation is material consequential, is it enough, but you can't debate if it's material. Or that there's something like an immaterial power. This should have been obvious.

The second mistake is the idea that potential to use force (the monopoly on violence) is the same as using it, and what the implications of this are? Potentials are empirically immaterial - an immaterial power. So there's nothing special about threats except that they might elicit a reaction with material consequences.

>>2644136
>Potentials are empirically immaterial - an immaterial power. So there's nothing special about threats except that they might elicit a reaction with material consequences.
To put this most clearly, it's only that material implications of the removal of arbitrary threats of violence by coordinated threats of violence that would implicate the validity of its removal.

Once you've reject the materially inconsequential, how do you structure the remaining space of material consequences?

My instinct is to go against suffering, allowing for some in "skillful means" to reduce suffering.

The Simón Bolívar International Brigade is an initiative by comrades from the Latin American continent in defense of Venezuela.

Our goal is to raise €5,500 to cover the travel costs of 9 to 12 comrades to Caracas, where they will be incorporated into the popular militias of the MRT (Revolutionary Tupamaro Movement).

From this first group of combatants and through propaganda by action, our intention is to expand the Brigade and begin bringing comrades from other countries and continents.

my bf doesn't like the idea of me going and i tend to agree even tho you'll probably do mostly training drills til it's not sustainable anymore for either party, which is fine, it's also probably the best case scenario.

i'm gonna have to sit this one out because i don't wanna make my family worried at this point in my life but i hope ya'll come out alright and honestly have a good one in general, tell us cool stories without revealing anything important when you're back or if you have a chance to log back in after awhile.

>implying authentic eastern buddhist monks aren't also rapists
>don't ask teh dalai llama about sucking tongues
Buddhism doesn't adhere as a whole to the dalai llama, buddhism isn't even a united "religion" its more like hinduism with several hundread different sects, routes, offshoots, lineages, teachings and whatnot often contradicting eachother.
These pics doesn't even illustrate the full extent of it.

>>2655957
>>2656049
For reference most of the largest buddhist schools and traditions do not follow the tongue sucker:
Theravada Buddhism (Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia)
Zen Buddhism (Primarily in Japan, Korea, China where it originated as Chan Buddhism, and Vietnam as Thiền)
Nichiren Buddhism (Japan)
Pure Land Buddhism (East Asia broadly, China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam)
Shingon / Esoteric Buddhism (Japan)
Drukpa Kagyu Buddhism (Bhutan)
These are just a few examples that don't follow or endorse the tongue sucker who is part of Tibetian Buddhism, and even within Tibetian Buddhism there are many sects which don't approve of him.

>>2656049
He's still correct. It used to be so common that it was a meme that western hippies would go to India or Thailand or whatever to learn le eastern wisdom and end up getting scammed or raped by their guru.

>muh amerimuttistan support
all rivals of SDF are pro-amerimutt zion-neolib states as HTS or Turgay, war criminals and bandits who hire children in refugee camps and are aligned with NATO. Victory of SDF in Syria is victory for socialism. PKK supports PRC and SWCC, more 'multipolarista' than avg. libtard faggot. Turkey supports uyghur terrorists and thus deserves to be dismantled

PKK and SDF consistently supported Palestinian resistance far more than any of rival factions, this is a null common complaint from Turkish-aligned anti-rojava cockroaches.

>muh kurd ethnostate
AANES recruits many of arab poor and middle class, the councils in raqqa and arab regions are all arab, only a retarded person can believe so. Approximately 65% of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are Arab troops.
