Secretive US court meant to deport alleged terrorists hears first case
The hearing, before the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, was open to the public and centered on Nazira Haji Zada, a 47-year-old lawful ​permanent resident accused of supporting Islamic State and helping conceal a failed Election Day 2024 mass shooting ​plot. Prosecutors say much of the evidence against the Texas woman cannot be publicly disclosed.

US to make visa bond requirements permanent, affecting mostly African countries
The program requires holders of passports from the affected countries to pay the bond to be interviewed for business and tourist visas — known as B1 and B2 visas — to travel to the United States. The bond is refunded if the visa application is denied or, if granted, if the person adheres to the visa terms. The Trump administration rolled out the program last August to crack down on visa overstays and as part of its broader efforts to curtail illegal migration. The government estimates that arresting and deporting visitors who have overstayed their visa costs about $18,000 per person.

Children face higher threat of US deportation as legal support deal expires
The expiring contract paid about 100 legal groups across the country to provide legal services to about 24,000 unaccompanied minors. The contract allowed the groups to enter government-funded shelters as part of their representation. It was unclear what would happen after the contract expires, or if they would still be allowed to access their young clients.

Brazil: Solidary Campaign for Venezuelan People Affected by the Recent Earthquake
The Solidarity Group with the Venezuelan People launched a fundraising campaign organized in Dois Vizinhos, Paraná. They are mobilizing to gather donations for Venezuelan people affected by the recent earthquake. Starting in July, volunteers are going door to door collecting supplies, such as non-perishable food, clothing, medicines, hygiene products, and other basic essentials. The campaign is rooted in a broader support effort: organizers say the group was formed to help Venezuelan families who came to the municipality to work, and who later faced difficulties, especially around housing and the costs of everyday life. With limited assistance after the initial period of employment, families often end up sharing small spaces and relying heavily on people’s solidarity.

China’s Upsurging Strike Trend
China is still the world’s worker’s strike capital. This fact is not always visible or perceived as such. The government of Xi Jinping, much to the linking of the capitalists, closes the siege against worker’s strikes with severity. Nevertheless, behind a facade of a unified, high-tech global powerhouse, this nation grapples with deep-rooted social unrest. Authorities frequently try to sweep these recurring conflicts under the rug, but undeniable reality makes them impossible to hide. The class struggle in China over recent decades has developed in the context of the country’s astonishing cycles of economic growth. In the first decade of the 2000s, rural struggles emerged prominently amid significant labor migration to export-oriented cities. Small farmers and rural workers clashed with local governments over the expropriation of their land, the advance of real estate development, and the rise of U.S.-style agribusiness. In the cities, from 2004 to 2008, strike movements blended the distinct characteristics of the Rust Belt in the North (where the former large-scale danwei system saw workers fighting layoffs and the restructuring of state-owned enterprises) and the Solar Belt in the South (where migrant rural workers demanded an enPost too long.

Rather than thinking of these things as individual moral problems, I prefer to think of the collective-action effects of social signalling.
e.g. it does not matter whether or not I buy meat, however, if I am a vocally annoying vegan and I convince at least one other person to stop eating meat and to become a vocally annoying vegan, and they convince at least one other person… and so on, and so on, then this aggregates to a structural effect which can meaningfully shift (a) demand for meat and (b) the social position of meat eating (hopefully in a less cool, lower-status direction, or at least into the "controversial" category, further amplifying this structural effect.) leading to (c) greater production of meat alternatives and investment in lab-grown meat as a consequence even in the less optimistic scenarios, and reduced meat consumption and profits on-the-margin in more optimistic scenarios.

This holds for BDS, or to a lesser extent for "ethically sourced" products (The problem with the latter is that there's always the incentive for enshitification.) and most other things slighted as "virtue signalling" - signalling matters! people will kill themselves to send social signals! "I, a cool person, refuse to associate with Israel because they are evil" - they hate that! they're always trying to coolwash themselves as a normal country!

It is true that having an individual moral framework distinct from this is also much more healthy, but it is a larger mental leap when you're used to thinking structurally and denying yourself. Sometimes you have to double down on your existing methodology.

>Ask yourself whether the cause you think is political has the potential to mobilize the masses
Well by that standard almost nothing is political. Whatever the scribes of the duopoly say, I guess. Back in the 19th century the abolitionists tried to buy products not made by slaves and it failed miserably, guess slavery wasn't political.

It does matter though. Every bit matters.

>That day is near unthinkable so in the meantime there still needs to be people around to coordinate plan and justify society around.
So just a world ruled by people like Sam Altman and Peter Thiel but labeled as "communism"?

Nothing actually changes it's just that class antagonism dissolves, thus the state ceases being one definitionally, since the state is an organization for the oppression of some class

it immediately betrays all of its principals by forming trade deals with capitalist nations and multinational corporations because we live in the real world where nations cannot function as hermetically sealed self-sustained habitats completely independent from the rest of the world, i.e. the global capitalist economy

>administration of things
Yes that's what Marxists call their state. It's funny because they style themselves as more erudite but it sounds dumber than the anarchist nonsense about horizontally federate communes or whatever.

Almost every communist defends kurdish peoples freedom, rights and usage of kurdish language. But we are pretty far away from PKK because of their theory and their relations with USA.

>>2834909
It is. Im not saying refugees dont have rights to be here, since Türkiye take place in syria War and caused thoused of people to leave their region. But most of them are still radically muslim.

any laz anons?
what are some resources to learn the language? an anki deck would be nice
we need to establish a proper movement to preserve the language and the culture

Gobble gobble.

>>2881349
there are millions of syrian refugees and only like 250k of them have turkish citizenship

this is a pretty much meaningless truism that has been repeated ad absurdum but never defined what "western left" or "socially conservative" actually means

Leftists somehow manage to be double-wrong on immigration. Immigration under capitalism leads to suppressed wages and is generally not a great things AS LONG as capitalism exists. Under communism, nations will be abolished and there will be free movement of people worldwide.

So the "socially leftist" communists simultaneously support immigration in Western countries which is the single biggest reason for them not having any popularity, while also claiming that nation-states will exist in socialism, denying the inherently international nature of communism, therefore falsifying communism and making it easy for the working class to be misled by opportunist governments.

In other words, leftists are economically right and socially left when it comes to capitalism and economically left and socially right when it comes to socialism. Both are retarded.

>NO LEFTY PERSON WITH A LARGE SIZED HEAD ON THEIR SHOULDERS WOULD HAVE EVER FULLY STOMACHED ALL THE DEGROWTH, DRUG-LIBERALIZATION, PRISON ABOLITION, ANTI-GUN STUFF, STATELESSNESS ADVOCACY, PROTECT THE INNOCENT CRACKHEADS STORIES, PRO-SEXWORK PROMOTION, KEEP THE SAME ORDER/GOV BUT REFORMED STUFF, LET PEOPLE STEAL THINGS
That's exactly it. I'm not right-wing in any meaningful way. I'm not even a taylorist larper who needs everything to be about sweaty industrial workers, development of the means of production tends to reduce physical labor anyway. I'm all about actual, real, material progress. Many things associated with "the left" have nothing to do with that. The lumpenproletariat has nothing to do with progress by definition. The same is true of degrowth.

But the question remains, who can we trust, and who is actually allied with the American people at large?

>>2881314

i can only speak for myself and my own ability to read a person and be a judge of human character, i can't tell other people who to trust and not to trust. i personally don't think any democratic or republican candidate has ever been allied with the american people at large, our entire society and all of its institutions are designed in such a way to prevent those kinds of people from ever rising to positions of importance.

i remember a long time i ago i listened to an episode of the marc maron podcast where he interviewed barack obama and it kind of made me understand the situation in a way that i've never really been able to forget. the longer i listened to him talk the more i became aware of two things, one being that he talks about the common american people the exact same way he talks about his own daughters, where he sees them as helpless confused children and himself as a loving but firm parent, and the other being that when he says things that are just blatantly false or misleading or downright callous, like defending us drone attacks in the middle east as a necessary national security measure, he isn't being dishonest; he is being completely sincere and he genuinely believes these things.

people tend to have this conception of politicians as being these crafty scheming pathological liars, but the truth is actually a lot worse than that. the real painful truth is that they aren't lying and that they are completely and utterly brainwashed, indoctrinated to the point where they are genuinely insane and have no connection to reality at all. the school system, the military, big business, corporate journalism, the justice system, local politics, national politics, all of these hierarchical institutions are designed to groom and filter people from early childhood onward, indoctrinating them to think a certain way and weeding out the ones who cannot or will not get with the program, so by the time you get to the top you're not really dealing with human beings who are capable of critical thinking or perceiving reality anymore, you're dealing with manufactured products that come from a machine.

>My fellow rightoids did this with Drumpf thinking both times thinking he was on their side, but as time moved along Drumpf revealed he was part of the same big club of elites just playing an actor's role, what makes you think your little DSA is going to be any different?
Trump was always transparently an elite though, rightoids had to turbogaslight themselves into thinking otherwise with gematria and pepejak spam. Unlike rightoids, you have the tech literacy to research into the DSA and weigh the cost-benefits of an imperfect but momentarily optimal choice in a system purposely built to not give workers an obvious good choice.

Why not vote for actual communists?
>there arent any
Then run for election and/or start a communist party.

That’s true of literally every wave of automation that’s ever happened

and tell me about the current success of gas lamp lighting unions, saddlemakers unions, etc.

IT workers had to gradually get proletarianized because they started out as petty bourgeoisie and labor aristocrats highly adjacent to the military industrial complex. It took several decades of privatization deregulation and outsourcing for this process to reach a fever pitch, and now maybe tech workers will begin to develop the sort of trade union consciousness (let alone class consciousness) that had to be developed independently by manual laborers in the 19th century.

I'm tired of this meme that Democrats and Republicans are the same. The Democrats are standard neoliberal fare. Republicans are straight up a neo-fascist party. They are both bad but one is obviously worse than the other.

>I'm tired of this meme that Democrats and Republicans are the same
That’s not a meme
>The Democrats are standard neoliberal fare
I don’t think you understand what goes into standard neoliberal fare for you to say that.
>Republicans are straight up a neo-fascist party
And so are the Democrats.
>They are both bad but one is obviously worse than the other.
They both worked hand in hand to make the we all have to live in.
