For those of you who aren’t familiar with Brazil, there’s a criminal organization called Comando Vermelho (Red Commando) which is one of the largest in the country today. It was founded during the military dictatorship when communist activists were imprisoned in the same cells as common criminals and taught them guerrila warfare tactics, in the hopes this would start a revolution.

It didn’t work and Comando Vermelho eventually completely abandoned the ideology though they still maintain the name and imagery.

Paraguay’s president quits after millions of people’s savings frozen in bank crisis
Last Monday, the central bank ordered Ueno into resolution over insolvency, freezing the deposits of 3 million customers, leaving hundreds of thousands of families without access to money for food and basic daily expenses. Bank executives were arrested, and people took to the streets in massive protests.

US escalates economic campaign against Cuba and targets China-based suppliers
In total, eight entities and two individuals were targeted, including China National Electronic Import and Export Company and Beijing H&C Technologies, two China-based companies that the U.S. is accusing of procuring weapons and selling surveillance and security equipment to the Cuban government. Washington’s campaign against Havana has only accelerated in recent months, with public spats between their representatives at the United Nations and on social media.

Broken Agreements: The Struggle of Venezuelan Small-Scale Coffee Producers
As I toured the villages in the aforementioned parishes, there was one common complaint: “the established prices are not being upheld,” in reference to both the coffee-roasting plants and the traditional intermediaries. This has been a recurring issue in recent years. From October 12 to October 24, prices varied between $205 and $245 per quintal, significantly below the agreed-upon figures. And though there was a slight upward trend, time runs against producers, especially the smaller ones. They must sell in order to settle pending debts or meet other financial commitments from the harvest work. At the same time, according to local sources, buyers are paying $280 or $285 for shipments of 50 quintals or more, volumes that only large-scale producers can meet.

Mamdani and Hochul promise a new day for Puerto Rico after Democrats sweep midterms
The nonprofit Hispanic Federation said the money would equip 10 community-run resiliency hubs across the island with increased water storage capacity; some also would receive rain-collection systems, kitchen infrastructure and solar power with battery storage. “We have to start working with the leadership to make sure that the Puerto Rico agenda is not forgotten,” Frankie Miranda, president and CEO of Hispanic Federation, told The Associated Press.

Ro Khanna Allies Push Him to Declare 2028 Bid, Emboldened by Progressive Midterm Surge
Following Election Day victories by Democrats like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Troy Jackson in Maine, and other champions of left-wing populist economic policy across the country, they feel Khanna—a supporter of Medicare for All and leader of efforts to block President Donald Trump’s wars—must strike while the iron is hot and set a progressive tone for 2028.

Stephen Miller, architect of Trump’s immigration crackdown, to become White House chief of staff
Miller’s appointment is the first sign of a shake-up at the White House following Republicans’ catastrophic defeat in the midterms. His record as a far-right firebrand implies that Trump is preparing for an aggressive fight against congressional Democrats’ oversight and investigations. Chris Whipple, author of The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency, told CNN: “It’s almost a declaration of war by Trump … He [Miller] only knows one gear and that’s full-throttle, full steam ahead over the cliff.”

Communist Workers' Platform USA: Statement on the results of the 2026 midterm elections
In a statement concerning the results of the US midterm elections, the Central Committee of the Communist Workers' Platform USA (CWPUSA) points out: “The democratic petty bourgeois want better wages and security for the workers, and hope to achieve this by an extension of state employment and by welfare measures; in short, they hope to bribe the workers with a more or less disguised form of alms and to break their revolutionary strength by temporarily rendering their situation tolerable" - Marx, Abstract from the Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League, London 1850 On 3 November 2026, the US midterm elections were held with the Republican Party suffering substantial losses amidst an upswell of Democratic wins. The midterm elections are waged for the composition of the Legislative branch, that section of the capitalist State that houses the arbitrators of the controversies within the capitalist class. These elections take place against the backdrop of an intensifying struggle within the US bourgeoisie, the sharpening of inter-imperialist competition with China, and widespread popular dissatisfaction with the policies of the Trump administration and with the costs of its repressive measures and imperialist interventions, borne by the workers and people of the US. This contest between the two parties reflects the intensifying inter-imperialist rivalry that is fueling clashes among the monopolies over a larger share of state support, over which sectors and which business groups will secure the biggest slice of the pie for themselves.

What is the point of pretending that nation-states are an organic and useful political project in the modern world? Lenin most famously promised nations of Russian empire independence (with some tactical considerations, mostly regarding colonies). Not every swampy town with dozen people automatically has some god given right to secede and form a new country as long as they fight for it, nor should we applaud it.

Europe and Persian Gulf has many sorry mistakes of countries with around million people, not a hint of economic independence, no real military, no influence, only real political "independence" is to choose who they vassalize themselves to, and if they choose poorly the people will pay the price. The current UN system insists (thanks to historic precedence) that they should be treated mostly the same as world superpowers in international affairs. Most of eastern Europe is full of this "small business owner" tier of a country.

I'm not arguing against people's right to govern themselves or local governance. But to me it's obvious that this is one major fault in current world politics. Many countries in UN are literally just extra votes for one superpower or another, bought and paid for by financial dependence and assistance. How do we remedy this? Restructuring or collapse of the UN system is coming in the not so far future. People are talking that security council does not represent the actual balance of power anymore while it includes countries like France and UK, but excludes countries like India, Brazil and Iran. People don't look at the issue of small countries and their minuscule and still outsizes influence that creates distortions and makes it even harder to move forward in international affairs. Not to speak of the inefficiencies it creates when every mini and micro state has it's own laws, social services, police, etc (because that makes them a state). In many places the differences between countries are minuscule and are already eroding by cooperation between countries. European federation would make sense to me if in practice all the people pushing it wouldn't be the fucking EU and liberal closeted fascists and idiots.

Yeah, whole baltic statelets' existence is propped by Washington neocons and Nato.

If we assume a country is dependent on external help for it's defense and existence, then the long term destiny for them is either vassalage and then absorption or invasion. Now their liege is Nato and EU if that ever goes away, then countries with third of their population already russians are gonna get absorbed back into Russian orbit quite fast, even without any Russian state's use of force or subterfuge. Even peace with Russia is a threat to countries like the Baltics and their so called independence..

Is there such a thing as a socialist state that would decriminalize drug use? It seems like liberal democracies have started leaning toward leniency when it comes to individual freedom and drug use. The West has become more open about many drugs. Most socialist states, or former socialist states, were very anti-drug. But a good number of leftists around the world today do use some kind of drug not all but many.

So what would drugs look like under socialist states in the future? Would it be the same bans? American leftists are more open to drugs than foreign ones, because of the war on drugs and the history. Were leftist in USA tricked into becoming pro drug? Or is this the way, the future?

I would imagine there is a divide between authoritarian marxists and more freedom oriented anarchist on issues like this (not really an important issue imo).

Here is a new scientific article of earliest confirmed psychoactive cannabis use (750 BC by Scythians in modern day Russia).

>>2949258
Even this gang has better track record than marxists (zero communism achieved, ever).

>>2948289
Yes obviously in socialism we should have libertarian and evidence based policies about drug use, people who ruin their lives due to addiction need help, not getting beaten up by the police and thrown in jail, a huge part of the deaths from drugs are due to tainted drugs

>>2949188
fwiw Fluorophenibut is a direct analog of Baclofen(chloro-phenibut) and at least in my subjective experience was a shorter and stronger phenibut that felt alot like gabapentin. Its also one of the last designer drugs you can get easily in the States tmk.

Which are mostly unproductive in the age of neo-imperialism with the ascendancy of neoliberalism having made most of these countries post-industrial or reduced their industrial throughput so much they only really produce for themselves.

America increasingly seems less like where all roads end, and more like the end of the road itself. It cannot adapt to the changing conditions of the world and getting owned across the entire ME is the proof. Israel for whatever reason is deciding to go down with the ship and embracing a full pariah state status just because they are ideologically deranged as a colonial genocideer nation.

Okay so before you post your Jewish nigger succdem memes at me, hear me out, I may be cooking here.

Over the past 150 years, much of the left has been convinced that the only way to actually establish socialism is through violent revolution. The only way to really bring about a "dictatorship of the proletariat" or a "federation of anarchist communes" or whatever the ideal is, is to take up arms, start a civil war, and shoot enough people until we come out on top. And sure, historically that's been the case. The Bolsheviks had to fight a full ass civil war because the anti-communist elements of the Russian army decided they would rather fight and die than live under communism. In the few cases where Marxists were elected to power such as with Allende they ended up overthrown by the military or succumb to liberalism. If one simply looks at what was then it seems obvious that the answer is violent revolution, and yet perhaps this is not the only path.

Let's look at the recent electoral victories against neo-fascists which nonetheless have the backing of the working classes. Hungary, Brazil, Serbia, and as of last night America. Obviously plenty of liberals were involved in these victories, but it cannot be denied that the proletariat have been supportive of them, and we cannot simply discard the will of the proletariat just because it's not revolutionary enough for our liking. And rather than chimp out and start a civil war, the fascists have either fled or meekly caved, abandoning their tough talk of killing libtards at the first sign of trouble. The fact of the matter is that unlike the fascists of yesteryear, our current fascists are abject cowards who fold the moment they get serious pushback. And if they fold that easily, perhaps armed insurrection is not strictly necessary.

This is by no means a call to embrace liberalism or social democracy, or to preserve the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Rather this thread exists to postulate that perhaps, maybe, could using the existing institutions and electoralism to reform a state into a dictatorship of the proletariat work? Could Lassalle be vindicated in the grim dark future of the 21st century? Would it be worth it if it means fewer lives lost? What obstacles might we face with these methods and how might we overcome them while still nominally adhering to the principles of liberal democracy? I think that in this day and age this is a conversation worth having, and that we should rPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

google up Soviet songs from 1920-30s. It's all "cultish", they mention all the heroes of civil war, such as Lenin, Stalin, Budyonnyi, Voroshilov, and never repressed peoples who will get repressed 10+ years later. "Cults of personality", for some reason, had prophetic qualities and knew who is the enemy of the people judging merely off their civil war performance

>>2949094
you are a fascist org with a buffalo and a fasces. you repudiate the need for revolutionary civil war between bourgeoisie and proletariat.

>>2949019
>If you are a reasonable person, just accept that the "revolutionary situation" is never going to develop to the point where that is attractive to most people. Even if the country fell apart the masses still wouldn't throw in behind these people
I wouldn't say that. The point I'm trying to make is that this is somewhat uncharted territory, and it's presenting us with questions that communists have spent the last 150 trying to avoid answering. That is the question of how to make revolution among proles in a developed capitalist society, one that has the material basis and administrative capacity/competence to manage capitalist class contradictions. Instead of addressing this question, we have always just gone looking for some segment of society that had not yet been brought into this system of management.

What we need is first to crack the code about why this system works in the first place, and going that is going to require thinking about it more deeply than just blaming treats or the fact that many people are relatively comfortable. This is an intuitive solution but I don't think it's correct. People in the past more or less tolerated far less comfortable conditions without serious resistance. Historically speaking revolutions happen not from the inherent contradictions of a mature, stable social order which has developed tested means of managing them. They happen when some new development renders those means no longer effective.

lassalle was right in the sense that the social-democrat reich won and has been the most powerful empire on earth for the last 100 years

I'm always incredibly skeptical of people that want other people to give money so they can be a paid staffer, I mean I thought we were doing this stuff because we believed in the politics? Just leads to perverse incentives IMO
