Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was essentially a clout martyr.

Everyone is claiming this was a random air strike, but it's clear what was actually happening: his killers were driven to take his life solely for the sake of clout. They wanted infamy of their own and found it in striking down an 86-year old.

As Ali was taking his final breath, he was surrounded by kids taking video and pictures of him. Why? For clout. No one was taking his pulse, no one was calling the Red Crescent, everyone was standing around with their phones out as his body was clinging to life.

The moral lesson of Khamenei's life story should be a cautionary tale of the horrors of social media and how it's fucked our society beyond belief.

RIP Supreme Leader. See you in Jannah…

Despite France and the UK being pretty much equal in terms of economics and populations, and despite France having has the smaller colonial empire, France has managed to keep a much larger modern day empire
Britain's oversea territories : 18 000 km² and 272 000 inhabitants
France's Outremer : 120 000 km² and 2.8 Million inhabitants.
France's empire is then time as large and populated as Britain's.
Beyond that, Britain's oversea territories are often very autonomous, wheras France's generally don't have any autonomy, at least for the departments.
This is despite France being in a much worse situation during decolonisation, not only because it was recovering from WW2, but also because it lost against Vietnam and Algeria in colonial wars.
Nonetheless, France was able to keep those territories without much conflict, sure, there was a conflict in New Caledonia, but it wasn't major.
Britain had to fight for 30 years in a civil war to keep Northern Ireland, a territory barely a few kilometers away and whose majority (until recently) was radically in favor of unity.
What gives ? Why was France's Empire able to survive ?

I disagree that the British didn't want to Leave, Malaya and Kenya are exemple of the British fighting to keep a hold over their colonies, Algeria in the case of France was more similar to Northern Ireland, it was legally considered an integral part of France, but obviously the colonized people didn't have the same right as the colons.

Britain's ruling class didn't see themselves as "British" in a nationalist fashion, which I would presume France did. They were, broadly speaking, cosmopolitan liberal free-trade types with a handful of "protectionist" imperial-preference guys who only wanted free trade with 70% of the planet. As such, "America is going to eat your empire and you are going to become an American vassal" wasn't that scary an outcome, especially since America allowed Britain to believe that it was a particularly special partner. (America tells every country that they've got a special relationship, but Britain actually believes it)
One view would be that WW2 was a choice between Britain letting Germany conquer continental Europe and Britain keeping her empire, or mortgaging her empire to America to protect free trade. Britain chose the latter (which, truthfully, it must be said is the noble and correct choice.)

"Britain" as a nation state was created around 1945 when it became clear that an island that was once just the central point of a sprawling trade empire was going to have to develop a national economy when America took over and stopped giving them preferential treatment. Look at any Churchill speech and note how he speaks of England, note how even into the 1960s and 1970s produce was stamped made in England, made in Scotland, and so on. This is because Scotland and England never ceased to be nations - like a weaker Austria-Hungary they were two separate nations under one political arrangement. Scotland's ruling class were desperate to become "British", it's true, but England was the dominant partner and was quite content to remain English, and Scotland's working class were quite content to remain Scottish. Northern Ireland is an even more awkward hanging nail, it had its own parliament until the 1970s because it wasn't ever really part of Britain-proper.
For more on this, see David Edgerton's "the rise and fall of the British nation". Despite the title, it's not a right-wing screed, it's a serious work of history looking at the construction and destruction of a national economy in the British isles. It explains the rise of Scottish/Welsh nationalism (when the "British" economy is dismantled, the material conditions for "Britishness" are undermined) and the religious reverence for the NHS (it's thPost too long.

The Communist Party, which has loyally supported the war in Ukraine, has become a target of the Kremlin.

In Russia, even supporting President Vladimir Putin's war policy is not necessarily enough as the security apparatus seeks to eradicate all opposition activity from the country.

This has been experienced firsthand by the Putin-loyal Communist Party, which has now found itself in the authorities' crosshairs, reports the Moscow Times.

The Communist Party is the second-largest party in Russia after Putin's United Russia, holding 57 seats in the 450-seat State Duma.
The party is part of the so-called systemic opposition that nominally opposes the regime but in practice supports Putin on all major issues.

In addition to the Communists, the systemic opposition is represented by the conservative and nationalistic Liberal Democratic Party (despite its name), the nominally social democratic A Just Russia party, and the self-proclaimed liberal New People party.

Before the war in Ukraine, the systemic opposition parties were allowed minor deviations from the official line, but nowadays they are expected to support Putin's line ever more unanimously.

"For those opposing the military actions, it may seem like there is no opposition at all, as all parties represented in parliament officially support the 'special military operation,'" summarized Stanislav Andreychuk of the Russian election monitoring organization Golos to the Moscow Times in April.

God Building was a Russian Marxist school of thought that advocated the construction and organization of a religion of socialist humanity rather than the abolition of religion, as defended by a strictly materialist interpretation of Marxism. Its main proponents among the RSDLP were Anatoly Lunacharsky and Vladimir Bazarov , as well as the writers Maxim Gorky and Alexander Bogdanov .

The idea of ​​a religion of humanity was developed by Ludwig Feuerbach . The idea of ​​a Promethean construction of an individual replacing God is present in Nietzsche .

The superimposition of the plane of ideas and experiences, of idealism and materialism, was one of the fundamental theses of the empiriocriticism of Richard Avenarius and Ernst Mach, greatly admired by these Russian thinkers.

The French Revolution and its Cult of Reason and of the Supreme Being provided the example of a religion organized by the State according to the ideals that the latter had set for itself.

Finally, faced with a deeply religious Russian people, the preservation of religion seemed a guarantee of success for a revolution and a new societal project.

In the issue ofMarch 1907In the Mercure de France review , Maxim Gorky defends the position of the God Builders against the atheism of Georgy Plekhanov for whom religions are destined to disappear with the advent of communism.

Anatoly Lunacharsky developed these ideas: already in his first essay, *The Atheist* (1908), he showed that pure materialism inspired a pessimism and passivity that prevented any socialist construction. It was therefore necessary to rouse the people's enthusiasm by emphasizing values ​​of well-being and joy ( naslazhdenie ) and to propose a religion of humanity centered on humankind and progress.

The two volumes of his essay Religion and Socialism (1908) definitively established his doctrine. Religious emotion is paramount and must be redirected to build socialism. People must forge a psychological unity among all individuals, recognizing the sole value of facts and bodies (thus proposing a commandment to love them) and the value of human action. Lunacharsky perceived the religious dimension of the belief in the inevitable advent of the revolution and defined the 1905 revolution itself as the action of the people's religious forces. Christ was not recognized as God, but revered as the foremost of the Communists.

In the french revolution they tried a similar thing, they would parade an image of the goddess Reason for the populace to worship. Needless to say, religión, as a mostly irrational and mostly originating from a sort of spontaneus ideological strata of local common sense, is hardly engeneerable artificially. Most cases of such engeneering used already existing religious realities that spread slowly until some state endorsed it

>The first wave of marxists had a distinct faith in the coming world proletarian revolution and of its inevitability (even if logically they knew there's always another outcome) that modern marxists can't have, because we've lived to see the coming world revolution smashed all over the globe, and at the very least drastically delayed. I think that was the one singular aspect of religion that was available to us, and now there are none.
There are some anti-communist types who say (in a vulgar way) that "communism is just like a religion" as a way to dismiss Marxists as believing in fairy tales, but I think there's something to the theory that modern ideology filled in for traditional religion in the 20th century, and that has largely died out. Also it's a theme among people who grew up in the Soviet Union to say that a lot of people stopped believing in it. A factor that seemed important in eroding that system was the intensity of ideological commitment wasn't sustainable or at least reproducible down the generations. That is why the anti-communists are not quite right because communism didn't really have much to say about how to live your private life or how to raise a family. You were expected to have a good morality if you were a party member, don't cheat on your spouse, etc. but being part of that ideological project was not the same thing as just having a private life and wanting to be left alone either.

So it might be that ideology is dying like religion is dying. But some might think, that means communism can't return, but while that might be true for 20th century communism, Marxism is actually a critique of ideology. This is why Marxism can be turned around on itself as a critique of dogmatism. Also, I think one reason why religion is dying (or at least being replaced in the 21st century) is that it's competing with new forms of social activity enabled by technological and material changes. That could be Taylor Swift concerts, FIFA, video games, gym / MMA culture, Pride parades, creative hobbies, etc. Religion can "make sense" as social technology in certain circumstances. Like if you live in a rural area, the entertainment sucks, but there's a church and the families in the town bring their children there, and the children can play together while the parents network, pull strings, etc.

>But a shrine to materialism with incense flowing and big ass bells and gongs, chanting quotes from theory, statues of Marx, a hall for studying dialectical materialism is quite an interesting image.
>I imagine it would make Marx roll over in his grave.
Here's a Chinese sketch comedy about a Church of Atheism. Doesn't have English subs (there used to be a version but I think it was deleted), but a guy comes across the church praying to the sky, and he's like what are you doing there's nothing up there. The atheists say, "exactly, it's a miracle, that's why we're the Church of Atheism." The guy is like huh, that makes sense, okay let me join your church. And they take him to a temple where they pray to scientists and sing hymns to the periodic table of elements. Later on, there are people getting married at the Church of Atheism and the priest is like "alright that's enough, here's a civil servant to stamp your marriage certificate," another guy confesses to molesting his little sister, and the priest is like "why are you telling me? That's a job for the police."

Hey /leftypol/, the more I'm reading about these topics the more I get diverging interpretations that seem unreconcilable. So, what's the global consensus on these notions ?

>historical materialism
The structure of society, which reflects the mode of production (capitalism, socialism, feudalism etc), creates antagonist groups with structural interdependance aswell as structural contradictory modes of existence (i.e. the proletariat will aim to maximize their salaries, but the bourgeoisie will attempt to extract the most surplus value from the proletariat).
Over time, this creates change and conflict within societies, giving way to paradigmic societal change (i.e. feudalism -> capitalism -> …)
However, another interpretation seems to see it through the lens of the development in productive forces. In this case, the contradiction ceases to be between classes, but rather between the development of productive forces with the relations of production (i.e. feudalism preventing capitalism from developing because of taxes or irrational norms).
The first interpretation makes me tend to believe that there is no gradual change from one society towards another, and simply a dialectical movement towards the abolition of classes, whilst the second one seems to be much more technology-centric and linear.

>dialectical materialism
This one seems to be the most controversial one. From what I can gather, it seems that it originated with Engels and that it posits that the material world in eternal motion driven by contradictory forces and structured around 3 natural laws. However, doesn't this imply some form of naturalism ? Nonetheless, another interpretation that I have picked up accounts for it being the idea that man is in a dialectical interaction with his environment, by which he is able to consciously work on it whilst also being determined by the latter. This interpretation can be imo hardly derived easily from the first one.

>alienation
Every individual is intrinsically a social and creative potential, by which he can be fulfilled or alienated. Alienation here refers to the mechanisms inherent to capitalism which "alienates" the proletariat from that potential by reducing them to cogs.
In this view, the dialectic seems to change again and shifts towards individual interactions between the position someone holdsPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The Tudeh Party of Iran strongly condemns the aggressive attack by the criminal Israeli government and US imperialism against Iran!
Early this morning, our country was attacked by extensive missile and air strikes by the racist Israeli government and the United States. This blatant aggression against Iranian territory occurs while the Iranian and US government officials, with the mediation of regional countries, have been engaged in negotiations over the past few weeks to resolve disputes over Iran’s nuclear program. Donald Trump, in a video message announcing a “massive military” attack by the US on Iran, declared the goal of this attack to be the destruction of Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities and, at the same time, regime change in Iran. This aggression against Iranian soil, which will undoubtedly result in the loss of lives of our compatriots and the destruction of the country, has been welcomed by forces such as Reza Pahlavi and the Mujahedin-e Khalq, which is undoubtedly condemned by all the freedom-seeking and national forces of our country.

CPI and Aljabha/Hadash reaffirm that Israel is not only an instrument of global American imperialism, but also a partner in it and in its efforts to impose American imperialist hegemony over the world and its natural and economic resources, and to subject all governments to US political and economic interests. This includes all parts of the world - especially the Middle East and Latin America.
