Militaries emerged primarily as institutions for securing wealth rather than territory. Early organized violence could have been driven by the need to protect trade routes, seize productive farmland, monopolize valuable resources, and enforce tribute, with political borders forming later as a byproduct of sustained economic extraction rather than the original objective. Militaries developed as mechanisms for managing large populations of ambitious young men whose competitiveness threatened internal stability. By channeling status-seeking, aggression, and risk-taking into campaigns against external rivals, societies reduced domestic conflict while rewarding martial success with prestige, wealth, and opportunities that might otherwise have fueled feuds or political unrest. Militaries originated less to defend against outsiders than to consolidate power within early states. A ruler with a permanent armed force no longer depended entirely on temporary loyalties from local clans or nobles, making it easier to suppress rebellions, enforce taxation, and transform personal authority into centralized government. External warfare then became as much a justification for maintaining the army as its original purpose. Militaries may have arisen as ritual institutions before they became effective fighting forces. Public displays of discipline, uniforms, ceremonies, and collective sacrifice could have served to bind otherwise unrelated communities into a shared identity, with the practical business of warfare growing out of cultural traditions that already celebrated organized violence as a marker of civilization and belonging.

There sad and disturbing development according to DropSiteNews.

🚨🇨🇺 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

I generally agree with you here MaoAnon, though with some minors caveats:

It's unlikely given Cuba's population & resource endowment that it could have easily achieved even an inefficient version of self-sufficiency.

That said, revisionism as far economic structure & functioning is concerned made everything worse & more unsustainable.

Its not even specialization or foreign investment that are the main capitulation or what Che himself argued so heavily against (both of those things can be mitigated with proper state control; The latter the USSR utilized during the 30s to acquire foreign tech & skills, generally taking over the ventures after a couple years).

Instead, it's enterprise/factory independence in terms of investment financing, supply chain decisions & product range.

The spectre of the Kosygin reform strikes again in all its decadence & degeneracy.

Look him seriously in the face and ask him why he insists on lying to you like that if he is your friend.

Point out to him that its unlikely he saw saw it on any major social media site as content like that would get taken down.

Further point out to him how ridiculous the premise is: Why would you use an anti-aircraft munition to execute someone when a simple bullet is far cheaper. It doesn't even make sense as spectacle as a guillotine or hanging accomplishes the same effect for a fraction of the cost.

how can low birthrates and immigration both be a problem? it would seem to me that one ought to compensate for the other. if you're worried about the population of your country decreasing then you should be happy that new people are coming in to bolster your numbers. if you are worried about the population being too high, then you should be happy that people aren't having as many babies.

and let's face it, neither of these things are issues that anyone can really do anything about. you can't make millions of people have sex and produce babies more often and you can't stop millions of people from entering a country. human behavior at this scale is basically like the weather, you can't control it or do anything about it and there's no sense in whining about it, all you can really do is just accept it and adapt to it.

The passion with which you argue about the minority age shows how much you fantasize about underages, hence why you perceive those laws as hostile to your subjective self-fulfillment, hence why you see them as deeply problematic, whereas nobody lacking such desires would ever see any problem with the age of consent being 18 or even higher, since it wouldn't ever be a limit to your activity anyway.

A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

This will be the inaugural edition to see how it goes. Welcome!

Israel to build base in Somaliland to target Houthis, says report

Somaliland will allow Israel to gather intelligence on and conduct operations against the Houthis, two Somaliland officials speaking on condition of anonymity told Bloomberg.
Israel has laid the groundwork for a possible base in the region: in June, a group of Israeli security officials visited the Somaliland coastline, people familiar with the matter said.
There they surveyed the beaches, in search of a potential site for a base or installation to fight the Houthi movement, which is officially known as Ansar Allah.
The site would be around 260km from Yemen, across the Gulf of Aden.

Fresh Clashes Erupt in Pakistani Kashmir on First Day of Contested Vote

Fresh clashes erupted in the Pakistan-administered portion of Kashmir on Monday, the latest flare-up in weeks of violence that have left dozens dead and cast a shadow over a regional election underway in the Himalayan territory.

Protesters in Kashmir have staged sit-ins, strikes and demonstrations since early June, calling for electoral reform ahead of the regional parliamentary election that began Monday and is scheduled to unfold in three phases until Aug. 10. The J.A.A.C.’s leadership and its supporters want to reallocate parliamentary seats reserved for Kashmiris living elsewhere in Pakistan to those who actually live in Kashmir — a move that Pakistan’s government has rejected, in part by arguing that it would require a constitutional reform.

Dodging snipers, housing crisis forces Yemenis to live on front line

Living near Taiz’s front line forces families to make difficult choices amid sniper threats and economic hardship.
But Um Yousef felt that she didn’t have a choice. A single mother of four children in her 40s, she couldn’t afford the typical market rate of about $130 for a three-bedroom house in the central Yemeni city. Her husband died years ago while working abroad, so she was the sole breadwinner for the family in a country where poverty has increased sharply since the war began more than a decade ago.
After eight months of moving from one area to another, and even searching on the outskirts of Taiz, she ultimately decided that her only option was a home near the front line. Yes, it was dangerous, but with little money coming in, the home she found for about $13 a month couldn’t be ignored.
In January 2025, the family made the move. Two months later, her 11-year-old son came into the house from playing outside with blood pouring out of his mouth – he’d been shot.

I recently was made aware of this meme party in India named Cockroach Janta Party trough reddit and I thought it would be time to make a thread since they just had a riot near the parliament.

<The CJP was created in response to remarks made on 15 May 2026 by Surya Kant, the Chief Justice of India, in which he called some activists and unemployed youth "cockroaches" and "parasites of society", sparking immediate national outrage. The name is a wordplay parodying the ruling party in India, the Bharatiya Janata Party. It achieved rapid popularity online, with the movement garnering over 350,000 sign-ups and over 22 million followers on Instagram within a week of formation.


<The CJP describes itself as "a political front of the youth, by the youth, for the youth: Secular, Socialist, Democratic, and Lazy." "We are not here to set up another PM CARES, holiday in Davos on the taxpayer's salary slip, or rebrand corruption as 'strategic spending.' We are here to ask, loudly, repeatedly, in writing, where the money went." Further, its mission is described as: "Build a party for the young people who keep getting called lazy, chronically online, and, most recently, cockroaches. That's it. That's the mission. The rest is satire."


And for the comrades who love calling any third world movement a CIA psyop your work has already been cut out for you, it's Soros and Pakistan
>In reaction to the rise of the CJP, several conspiracy theories have emerged attacking the movement. Without naming the CJP, union minister Kiren Rijiju stated on X, "I pity those who seek their followers in social media from Pakistan & George Soros gang". Union minister Sukanta Majumdar alleged that 49% of CJP followers are from Pakistan and only 9% are from India.

We, the students, looked fear in the eye
<We will continue to struggle for an equal, socially just, publicly funded and democratic education system; for quality education as a right, not a privilege purchased by those who can afford it

When I think of how this movement began, I return to May 3, when NEET-UG was held, and May 12, when it was cancelled after the paper leak could no longer be denied. For students, this was not merely an examination gone wrong. It was years of preparation, family savings, borrowed money and postponed lives. Young people died by suicide. Families were shattered. Yet the government was neither apologetic nor accountable.

Our demand for the education minister’s resignation arose from this refusal of responsibility. Not once did the government try to sit with students or understand what repeated leaks, cancellations and uncertainty do to young minds. Its efforts were directed instead at exhausting, frightening and maligning those who asked questions. The insensitivity was visible in the words of those in power. Nirmala Sitharaman suggested that some students had used the delay to improve their performance. What does one say to families who lost their children? That a paper leak was an opportunity? Then Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan described those demanding accountability as the “B-team of dehshatgard” (terrorists). Students whose futures had been gambled away were recast as enemies. The government would not answer the questions, so it tried to make the questioners suspect.

But the issue travelled beyond NEET almost immediately. Students came with stories of UPTET, constable recruitment examinations, REET, RPSC, BPSC, UGC NET sociology, and many others. These were stories around papers leaked, examinations cancelled, results delayed, recruitment processes left hanging. Together, they exposed the same contempt for young people’s time, labour and aspirations. Soon the movement became larger than one examination. It spoke to a generation told to keep studying, keep waiting and blame itself for every institutional failure.

Everything about the Jantar Mantar protest is political — as it should be
During the movement, we kept reiterating that everything is political, because so many sorrows we are taught to bear privately are produced by public policy. A leaked paper is political. A government school shut or merged in thePost too long. Click here to view the full text.
