I think there is quite a bit of value to be had in the original Jungian definition of the types but even then he mostly just focused on introvert/extrovert stuff.
Albeit being an introvert is less about being a loner and more about being subjective overall while an extrovert is someone who seeks to be objective.

tmk Bahrain has a large section of there proletarian class thats a shia underclass and permanent residents

Some others may have already mentioned these details but just to reiterate, almost all of those workers are South Asian or African manual labourers who are never treated as anything more (never given citizenship nor allowed to leave their jobs or those countries to go back home), so yeah even a hint of non-compliance or dissent amongst them would be met with absolute terror. NOt to mention the vast majority of them are uneducated men whose families rely on the money they send back, and given the lack of opportunities in their 3rd world home countries (along with the other factors), the lot of them haven't really got a bloody choice than just to work those 16 hour days. the fall of the juche is more likely in our lifetime than proletarian revolution in the gulf

Senate passes short-term FISA extension, following House in maintaining surveillance law through April 30
The spy authority, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, was set to expire on Monday. The extension approved Friday pushes back the deadline by 10 days, until April 30, as lawmakers try to reach a longer-term solution.

Family of US man who died after officer shoved knee into back sues police
Adair was arrested in July on misdemeanor warrants for failure to appear on multiple traffic violations. At the time, Adair’s leg needed to be amputated and was so badly infected that he was taken straight to the hospital, a Kansas bureau of investigation agent wrote in the affidavit. Before Adair was cleared to return to the jail, he was diagnosed with a type of bone infection that sometimes develops in people with diabetes. A medical screening also found he was schizophrenic, the affidavit said.

Democrats eye new strategy after Iran war powers fail
It's the kind of showy flood-the-zone tactic that the Democratic grassroots is constantly trying to get the party's lawmakers to pursue in resisting the Trump administration. It's not clear if House Democratic leadership will get behind the tactic, but even some centrists aren't immediately dismissing the proposal. "I'd welcome it," Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.), who represents battleground-district members in leadership, told Axios.

“Meet our demands!” – Workers’ uprising in India
Since the 13th of April, a mass workers’ uprising has been raging in the southern industrial areas of Delhi. On the one hand, this was a direct response to the rising costs caused by the war in Iran; on the other, workers’ protests had been taking place repeatedly in industrial centres since the start of the year. They demanded shorter working hours, higher minimum wages, higher overtime pay, payment of outstanding wages and equal working conditions for temp workers and permanent staff.

Will More Warehouses Burn?
“If you’re not going to pay us enough to fucking live, you can at least pay us enough to not do this shit,” the man says as he reaches out with a lighter and ignites a pallet of toilet paper. Minutes later, multiple pallets can be seen burning in a video taken inside the 1.2-million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark warehouse located in California’s Inland Empire. “There goes your inventory,” the man says. The warehouse quickly became a raging inferno, requiring 175 firefighters and fifteen truck companies to subdue the six-alarm fire over the next fifteen hours. Warehouse workers were safely evacuated, and no one was injured by the blaze. Police quickly arrested twenty-nine year old Chamel Abdulkarim, who they say posted several self-incriminating videos of himself lighting the fire on social media. If convicted, Abdulkarim could face up to twenty years in federal prison. He has pleaded not guilty. I’ve spent my life trying to organize workers in smart and strategic ways to build power. Burning down a warehouse is not on my list of effective working-class tactics — quite the contrary. But I doubt that this is the last time we will hear a story of one low-wage worker’s incendiary revenge, and this story in particular goes much deeper. To understand it, we need to start with Kimberly-Clark’s financial disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Retarded framing like this is the only thing that kulaks and anticommunists have to counter communist arguments for progress.

First of all, kulaks didn't own the land, they leased it. Revolution brought about kulaks to actually own the land they worked. Land owners got their land confiscated in favor of local councils, which then provided the land as needed to the peasantry - kulaks included

Next, grain wasn't confiscated, it was sold to government at fixed prices, with sales to the market forbidden UNTIL the government quota was fulfilled. Also, grain hoarding in the area was punished with grain taken away from hoarders and redistributed without compensation for free, to destroy speculative pricing.

Collectivization was infiltrated by kulaks initially, who viewed it as a way to centralize rural resources in their hands. Many collective farms were disbanded for this reason, so that collective farms' power base be not rich households but rather a collective of poor farmers pooling their resources. "Forced" collectivization happened only in anticommunist propaganda, it was more like the adoption of electricity and machinery, a movement for progress and treated as such. Reactionaries - such as kulaks who clung to manual labor on their fields - got really pissy about it and wanted to restore old relations, because tractor was much, much cheaper and much, much more efficient than horses and working the fields by hand, and kulaks couldn't compete fairly. Also, you can see from statistics how collectivization decimated horse populations, because horse eats more in money terms than a tractor, and guess who in the rural area had most horses and who was leasing them to other villagers, lol

Based pro 2nd amendment Lenin

>An oppressed class which does not strive to learn to use arms, to acquire arms, only deserves to be treated like slaves. - Lenin
I hate these quotes because the USA is the country where everyone use arms and acquire arms and they are one of the most classcucked country in the world, completely incapable of organizing a general strile, not protesting against the war in Iran when it makes their general situation actively worse, I could go on and on.
Meanwhile, proles in other countries just burn shit down and organize strikes when they had enough. Guns are completely useless when you have zero tactics, targeting infrastructure is infintely more important.

I would say that my most controversial Dialectical Materialist Marxist-Leninist-Maoist positions are the fact that Global Nuclear War is a Historically Progressive necessity that must happen to allow for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR that will place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, that the Global Maoist Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR will eliminate all vestiges of the Reactionary Superstructure as the International Red Guards bulldoze/burn down all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas worldwide and arrest all Priests/Ministers/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis and force them to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they are re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (This also happens to all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists as well), that the Global Maoist Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution will flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, through the International Red Guards forcing all Women to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), with all women that violate this having their heads forcibly shaved by Female (mostly Lesbian) International Red Guards and forced to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they are re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and Dresses and Makeup/Lipstick being banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing are banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits, along with my In-depth articulation of the Dialectical Materialist stance on the Biological Concept of Race (ie.

the solution to pmc virtue hoarding is unironic left-nietzscheanism. pmcs virtue-horde because they have internalized slave morality ressentiment making them feel bad for being in a position of economic privilege. it is no accident that idpol is sourced from refined parisian intellectualism while engels himself was a german so felt no moral qualms with using his position as a capitalist to further the worker's movement. there needs to be a transvaluation of morals evinced in the pmc and labor aristocracy if we are not to completely ignore them (an understandable gesture). obviously i am not suggesting they should adopt a "master morality", that is just silly. rather, they need a refined morality based upon a noble magnanimity in helping the working class. rather than be more "virtuous" by being more woke then impose such things on workers, they should have their energies directed into real change based upon the finances afforded them thanks to their class position

JBS workers' union to ask Colorado lawmakers to protect access to bathroom breaks
United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7, the union that represents the JBS workers in Greeley, is lobbying at Colorado's State Capitol to further protect its members.

Democratic senator dumps on DSCC's "big mistake" in Maine
"We want to push the caucus to fight even harder against the lawless Trump administration. I think we've made some progress since this time last year," said Van Hollen, himself a former DSCC chair. "We are also very unhappy with the fact that the DSCC has been putting its foot on the scale as the party organization in the Senate in some of these races. So that's what formed the Fight Club."

War on Iran: Why the Islamabad talks failed
What happened in Islamabad is not an isolated event, but rather part of a longer American strategy in the region. Indeed, the American-Zionist war on Iran did not emerge in isolation. It is the direct extension of a broader strategy that accelerated after October 2023, when Israel’s failure to achieve decisive outcomes in Gaza exposed the limits of military power and deterrence. Washington responded not by reassessing its regional posture, but by doubling down, expanding confrontation, tightening sanctions, and eventually moving towards direct military aggression against Iran. Iran entered the talks with a structured position. Through Pakistani mediators, it submitted a 10-point proposal intended to frame negotiations. The details were not publicly released in full, but the outline was clear: a cessation of hostilities, recognition of Iran’s rights under international law, phased sanctions relief, and reciprocal security guarantees. Initially, US President Donald Trump signalled that the proposal could serve as a basis for dialogue. That signal proved misleading. The US delegation did not engage the proposal as a negotiating framework; instead, it moved quickly to impose a separate set of demands. Within hours, the Iranian proposal was effectively sidelined. Reports from the meeting indicate that Trump personally dismissed the framework, instructing his team to proceed on the basis of American conditions. What followed was not a negotiation, but the imposition of American demands. The talks stalled at that point. The remaining hours were spent attempting to bridge a gap that had already become unbridgeable.

The Left Needs an Alternative Cosmopolitanism Interview with Lea Ypi
The standard critique of the liberal international order comes from the Right these days: the nation-state is supreme, global institutions are a racket, and cosmopolitan elites have sold out ordinary people. The standard defense comes from liberals who conflate the internationalism of the postwar order with the economic system it upholds and defend them both at once. Not satisfied with either position, political theorist Lea Ypi instead urges us to develop what she Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>1) Random acts of violence will never harm the state in any meaningful way
But if powerful people are targeted in can create a sense of urgency and fear in the bourgeois class to make concessions because they think their power is weakening.
>2) It gives the state justification (in the eyes of people who are captured by bourgeois ideology) to violently crack down on your movement
They literally already do this, no matter what people do. Not fighting back accomplishes just as nothing
>3) The state is a million times stronger than you
You may as well give up on possibly of communism or revolution ever being a real possibility then by this logic. Also the state is made up of people who could be swayed by revolutionary actions.

I honestly have no how leftcoms even envision how communism will ever be achieved according if these are their views. Do you just expect people to one day just magically just think communism is based or something? Even if you're waiting for capitalism to collapse in on itself you will still need direct action to signal that is it or to kickstart the revolution once it finally does.

I of course agree regarding aventurism & systemic change. However intelligent adventurism is primarly about propaganda: embasing your friends while demoralizing the ennemy, than it is about achieving change by itself.
Take the Kirkocaust for example, it was completely destructive for the right domestically, a depraved act of leftist (?) violence yet it sent the entire american RW media ecosystem into a death spiral and a billion low-info normies still make fun of their dead patron saint a year later. It was a succesful mass demoralization campaign that took the right off it's cultural pedestal. It also made the domestic american far-right look like impotent weaklings as they did nothing to avenge him besides posting weepy fedposts on xitter talking about the day of the rope any time now in 40 minutes just wait, even the stone cold sleazy-irony posters were posting like sentimental Matt Walsh for a week. Just a total memetic destruction.
Tyler Robinson (PBUH) was way more important than Luigi, who killed some replaceable nobody CEO (the upper class wagies).
Adventurism can have virtuous effects.
