I know this guy, personally.

This guy is your typical chud:
>le dysgenic
>le genetically uggo
>anglo teeth rotting in hell
>built like a fuggen troll
yet he was participating in the Marxist reading group I organized for my country (Hungary) for months.

This guy (heterosexual male) considers himself to be so U G G L Y that he even considered becoming "trans" just so he may get some pussy, even tho he prefers women and prefers thinking about himself as male. He was so desperate for intimate contact that he thought about artificially becoming a "woman".

Long story short, vidrel is a random dude I had the misfortune to work with, who turned out to be a sadist, a pro-NATO asslicker, and a FIDESZ (Hungarian conservative governing party) "meme-creator" who did it for pennies…

I met this dude when he was merely 20-something and he joined our Marxist reading group. He did his homework and reported in his own words about the assigned (=freely, topically chosen from a literature list) texts. He seemed above avg. and so on.

Hello!

I am a teaching assistant who provides emotional and academic support to students with special needs at a public (government) school. I joined this job in part for its capacity to provide me access to the American labor movement such that I can assess its shortcomings. In what felt almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy, I would soon discover one almost immediately after becoming a union representative at my school.

Essentially, myself and my co-workers were duped into voting for a union leadership and city council that had put forward a bill offering a $10,000 bonus (with provided funding sources through the legislation. Union leadership insisted it was a no-brainer and 47/50 city council members were outright sponsors on the bill.

Tl;Dr: in spite of what was OSTENSIBLY overwhelming support to the powers that be, the political will of both the politicians and leadership dissipated as soon as election day had come and past. Like a fool, I said as much to my co-workers and have let them down tremendously. I have to make this up.

As an American public sector employee, it is illegal for our union to hold strikes and Americans do not have the political will for a wildcat. After some analysis, I have concluded that the most productive avenue I can take is to begin a hunger strike on the last day of school for students demanding that the bill be brought to a vote. I am fairly sure at this point that it is the only course of action viable to affect change for my co-workers, who are in desperate need of this additional income due to cost of living increases in spite of their living in the epicenter of the imperial core.

Do you, anon, think this is the right course of action for myself at this time? If so, do you have any tips for how I can execute this without literally killing myself? Can answer any clarifying questions you might have.

Rest of the world is ruled by bourgeoisie and personal opinions and political positions are up to debate but not these countries. Dictatorship of the proletariat means that these countries are ruled by the proletariat and their representatives.

Is it true that this entire alt-right agenda was stolen from the Japanese?
I came across an old thread on Russian chan that contained the following post:
>Alt-right assholes somehow got into the habit of writing about the feminist threat via Google Translate to Japanese 2ch, and they were told, "We know everything without you and we don't need your help."
And it also said that this happened in Japan years before Trump.

Can /leftypol/ answer these questions that I have ?
I consider myself a social-liberal. I've read and understood fairly well marxist literature (mostly read secundary sources though), aswell as most other polsci theory because of my degree.
I don't align with marxism mainly for 3 reasons that I'll formulate as questions:

>1. Why does the dialectical movement have to worsen the proletariat's lives
In essence, if material institutions change because they can't objectively and materially fulfill their purpose (i.e. a company that exists to make profits faces competition which lowers its profit rate), why would these changes and evolution incur a decline in the proletariat's condition and accentuate class antagonism ? I know marxist's economic theories, but they don't explain as to why the new institutions that would emerge from the old ones wouldn't be better.
For example, capitalism's crisis (a contradiction) have lead to the creation of better financial managing, which imo is a better thing than recurring crisis every 10 years.

>2. Why can't the state and different class interests agree on a mutual interest.
I understand that in marxist theory the state essentially only lives as a tool for the bourgeoisie to use. However, in the face of revolutions or class conflict, why couldn't both parties collaborate rather than face off ? Both the bourgeoisie and the proletariat can have an advantage in collaboration and mutual interest rather than pure conflict. I mean, in polsci theory this is the founding basis of the state.

>3. (and a bit more practical) Isn't the whole marxist linguo counter-productive to the ideal you hold ?
For instance, shouldn't you say "workplace democracy" rather than "abolishing private property", given the sentence's long history of being misinterpreted ? Same goes for the dictatorship of the proletariat, the exploitation theory etc.

The 2010s marked the effective end of most remaining communist insurgencies. Although many had been in decline for years, it was during that decade that they finally collapsed. The Naxal movement, communist insurgencies in Africa and Southeast Asia, and the last remnants of the IRA either fizzled out or ended with arrests after failed attacks and raids. In 2023, the Zapatistas dissolved their Autonomous Municipalities. The conflicts that leftist magazines and academics once wrote papers about and sometimes even traveled to for the occasional photoshoot are now over, so what is to done?

Killing workers in the streets, bending to the west in the sheets - edish

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.

Statement of the Workers’ Councils of Arak: All power to the councils!

>“To the workers of Markazi Province, to our comrades in Khuzestan, and to all the people of Iran.”

>For decades, our demands for bread have been answered with bullets, and our demands for dignity with prison. But today, the silence has come to an end. We, the workers of Arak’s factories, declare the following:

>Workplace control: From now on, the management of the Machine Manufacturing Company, AzarAb, and Wagon Pars factories will be in the hands of workers’ councils elected by the workers themselves. We no longer recognize managers appointed by the state or the regime’s puppet unions.

US files for warrants to seize dozens more Venezuela-linked oil tankers, sources say
The U.S. government has filed multiple civil forfeiture actions in district courts, primarily in Washington, D.C., enabling the seizure and confiscation of oil cargoes and ships that have been involved in the trade, the sources told Reuters. They declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter. The exact number of seizure warrants the U.S. has filed for, and how many it has already received, is unclear, the sources said, because the filings and legal orders are not public. Dozens have been filed, they added.

Argentina Registers Increase in Repression During Milei’s Term
The document denounces a systematic and selective increase in repression, particularly affecting retirees, journalists, human rights defenders, and minors participating in social protests. Fifty-one out of 139 demonstrations monitored between 2024 and 2025 were met with repression. Over two years, 2,585 injuries were recorded, including 155 senior citizens in 2025, five children exposed to tear gas, and 184 journalists affected by the repression. The use of rubber bullets at point-blank range, tear gas grenades, Byrna pistols, and water cannons violates international protocols.

Plane used in boat strike off Venezuela was painted to look like a civilian aircraft, AP sources say
The plane, part of a secret U.S. fleet used in surveillance operations, also was carrying munitions in the fuselage, rather than beneath the aircraft, raising questions about the extent to which the operation was disguised in ways that run contrary to military protocol. Details of the plane’s appearance, first reported Monday by The New York Times, were confirmed by two people familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.Post too long.

he's completely BTFO'ed all arguments against Marx's Law of Value, he's empirically proven that Economic Planning is 100% possible with current data sets and modern computation, he's shown that current economic theory is based on complete woo that doesn't hold up to basic mathematical scrutiny or even basic logic.
The thing is, because all his online content is extremely complex, technical post-grad level university lectures, it's hard to get his idea's out there. Which I think why as Socialists, we should try present his arguments, theories and evidence in a far more presentable, digestable, ELI5 fashion for Normies.
What made classic Leftypol good is that we were able to present Socialist content for normies that would be shared by Zoomers and such. So I think a good project for us on this board, would be to work How the World Works (https://libgen.rocks/ads.php?md5=0f775aef8cbe24a8978e115669bfcdfb) into a decent Youtube series that explains how we can build a new economic order in the not too distant future.
