/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

For a brief moment from 2016-2022 this was supposedly the pinnacle of online left-wing politics. Bernie was about to win, Democratic socialism was the future, China would inevitably democratize and the old boring MLism was dead. A few DSA-backed candidates winning city council seats in already progressive districts was treated as if the Bolsheviks had just stormed the Winter Palace.

The most ridiculous part was that the supposed divide between the Dirtbag Left and the DSA left barely existed. They agreed on healthcare, labor, foreign policy, housing, policing and virtually every other major issue. The defining ideological conflict of the era was essentially whether you were allowed to make edgy 90's raunch comedy jokes on podcasts. Entire feuds and endless Twitter meltdowns emerged from a disagreement that amounted to "can you say slurs ironically?"

The confidence was incredible, leftist genuinely talked as if DSA-aligned leadership of every major American city was inevitable, as if Bernie was one good news cycle away from the White House and as if a handful of podcasts by stand up comedians had somehow cracked the code of political history.
In retrospect, it all seems absurd. There was never a realistic path to any of it. The movement's grandest ambitions had essentially zero chance of materializing.

Then reality intervened. Bernie lost, The post-COVID world arrivedm Housing crises worsened, Migration became politically explosive, Major wars returnedm China didn't democratize and instead looked increasingly capable of navigating long-term crises without becoming a Western liberal democracy and the assumptions underlying the entire scene collapsed one by one.

A lot of the old supporters ended up as tankies. A smaller but noticeable number drifted toward the far right. Sometimes they somehow became both at once. The aesthetic transformation is almost as funny as the political one, the old Dirtbag Left revolved around schlubby podcasters making jokes about being ironically gay, the people who inherited its audience are often obsessed with MMA, military history, geopolitical realism and posting shirtless workout photos. The few remaining loyalists seem to have finally realized that their politics were never meaningfully different from the DSA's in the first place and appear perfectly content settling into the role of ordinary progressive liberals.

What a strange, stupid little farce that was.

>“The age of Willkommenskultur is over, the era of mass deportations has begun,” commented the Sweden Democrats party, whose MEP Charlie Weimers played a central role as ECR’s shadow rapporteur.
>In a rare show of unity on the European Right, the directive was adopted not only by the national conservative groups (PfE, ECR, and ESN) but also the EPP, which votes together with the leftist parties in the vast majority of cases.
>Most importantly, the new law will introduce a mutual recognition and enforcement obligation between member states regarding deportation orders, meaning migrants cannot circumvent return decisions by moving to a different EU country and restarting the process. A return order in one country will legally count as a valid order in all of them.
>Another important point is the introduction of third-country return hubs, making it possible for member states to externalize return procedures by sending migrants to secure facilities outside EU territory to wait for the end of the process, ensuring they won’t escape implementation once the paperwork’s done.

Today we had an especially hard day at work. We exchanged our labour power for le money for 12 hours straight.

Funny thing.

We have a new collegue, dude, trimmed eyebrows, eye-liner – JD Vance style –, total narcissist in my understanding, but most importantly buff as fuck. Like gym-buff, like i-have-the-small-pp buff.

In any case, dude after 9 hours was already exhausted, complaining constantly ("when are we finishing, ffs?"), and was visibly shaken by me being able to go on nonchalantly.

I ain't no buff guy, picrel is my /muskles/ taken after work, but constant prole-ing built up my endurance bigly. (Mind you, max I worked was 16 hours.)

I just wanna say that
1) if you prole, post your prole /muskles/ and tell us about your prole hours;
2) if u r gym parasite, plz leave;
3) is there any scientific papers comparing fake /muskles/ ("gym /muskles/") to prole /muskles/?

The Indian state is claiming that they have defeated the naxals. Is it over?

From my understanding Mao said China will be an industrialised socialist nation by the year 2000, then Deng postponed it to 2050 which is still repeated to this day.

But what does this concretely mean in qualitative terms, how do the relations to production shift? Will the stock market be abolished, private ownership of capital, the three represents system abolished, a planned economy be build? It can't just be more development of the productive forces or building a welfare state or it doesn't mean anything.

So people who think China is actually socialist, can you give government approved sources that prove any intention to build communism?

‘People shouldn’t expect there will be water in their taps every day’: why is St Lucia running out of water?
The water scarcity crisis plaguing the Caribbean nation had become so severe that last March the island’s hospitality and tourism sector considered bringing in water by barge from its neighbour, Dominica. For experts, this was a sign that, as the climate crisis worsens, extreme weather events could trigger systemic risks on the island.

In today's public discourse, there is no shortage of so-called praise for the "Nordic Model." This argument holds that the "Nordic Model" relies on reform rather than external expansion, achieving a highly developed standard of living and social welfare on a so-called "Third Way," which is genuine "socialism." Especially at western website, such voices are particularly loud. In China, a large number of liberals also tout these Nordic welfare states, calling them a paradise on earth. However, is this really the truth?
In the Nordic region, there is a communist who supports the Third World people's resistance against imperialism, named Torkil Lauesen. This brother, who once screwed bolts in a factory and delivered packages on the streets, rebelled against Nordic capitalists because he opposed the Nordic exploitation of the Third World. As a result, he was sent to prison by the "democratic and free" Nordic Social Democratic government. After regaining his freedom, he wrote a book titled *Riding the Wave: Sweden’s Integration into the Imperialist World System*. Let's see how he exposes the imperialist acts of the Nordic countries.
Swedish capitalists have transferred a massive amount of low- to mid-end labor-intensive industries to the Third World, making a fortune overseas: [The Swedish company Electrolux is one of the world's leading producers of household appliances and tools; by 2010, about 70% of its production was outsourced to low-wage countries. In 2018, 3,103 Swedish multinational companies employed 2.16 million people, of which 1.5 million were abroad and another 660,000 were within Sweden. Swedish transnational capital is highly concentrated. The 30 largest companies employed 1,053,381 people in 2018, with 773,611 abroad and 279,770 in Sweden. The turnover of these companies abroad was 3,713 billion SEK (445.56 billion USD), compared to 2,263 billion SEK (271.56 billion USD) in Sweden.]
Some say that the countries Sweden invests in are primarily Western developed countries like Germany, so Sweden does not exploit the Third World. Regarding this, this brother also provided an explanation: [About half of the investments are inter-imperialist—Swedish investments in North America and the EU, and vice versa—which reflects the degree of global capital integration. Swedish Electrolux products are sold in the EU and the US, while German Siemens Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

🚨🇨🇺 BREAKING: Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel unveiled a sweeping set of economic reforms Friday, casting them as Cuba’s path through the crisis driven by a “criminal energy blockade” by the United States that has left the island nearly without fuel.

Only 1 oil tanker has reached Cuba in the past 5 months, Díaz-Canel said, a collapse that traces to January, when the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and cut the flow of Venezuelan oil, then threatened tariffs on any country that supplied Cuba.

Havana now endures blackouts of up to 15 hours a day. Among the most devastating consequences of the U.S. policy is that the Cuban government has been forced to postpone tens of thousands of surgeries for its citizens.

The Cuban President today named national defense as the first priority, citing preparations under Cuba’s “Whole People’s War” doctrine. The full 2026 reform program includes:

🔹Enterprise & Markets
🔸 Overhaul the economic management system, easing the conflict between central planning and incentives for production
