Under capitalism, games are job-like, but what if under socialism, jobs were game-like? A socialist society could take the artistic lessons of what makes something tedious more fun, addictive, and rewarding, and use it to labor required to make society function less miserable? You guys will probably shit on this idea but at least try to critique it constructively or think creatively about it.

Intense activity on the Damascus-Rojava front: Integration, job offers, and returns are on the table.
During meetings held in Damascus on April 16, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Commander Mazlum Abdi, Autonomous Administration Foreign Relations Officer Ilham Ahmed, Interim Government Head Ahmed Shara, Foreign Minister Asad Sheibani, and Presidential Advisor Ziyad al-Aish came together.
The meeting addressed key political and security issues in Syria, the advancement of the integration process, and the timeline for the implementation of necessary measures. It was noted that the parties conducted a comprehensive and detailed assessment, particularly regarding the implementation of the military, administrative, and political arrangements defined within the framework of the January 29th Agreement.
The main focus of the meeting was on the topics discussed in Damascus, the stage of the integration process, the steps that need to be taken along the Rojava-Damascus line, and how the situation on the ground is developing.

According to information we received from local sources, the question Ahmed Shara posed to Mazlum Abdi during their meeting – "When are you coming to Damascus?" – is noteworthy. In the past, it was known that Mazlum Abdi had stated, "Instead of a presidential election, I will be among my people and involved in national unity efforts." However, as this meeting indicates, Ahmed Shara considers Mazlum Abdi's involvement in Damascus a vital and unavoidable step. Abdi's move to Damascus, whether as vice president or in another capacity, is seen as critical for the implementation of the January 29th Agreement and for the resolution of political issues in Syria through coordination between the SDF and Damascus.

<THE GOVERNANCE OF A SHARED SYRIAN INTEGRITY IS BEING DISCUSSED.

There is a topic that came up between the SDF and Damascus even before the April 16 meeting. According to local sources, Damascus had conveyed to SDF-Autonomous Administration officials in previous meetings a request for an individual who could serve in the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although there has been no official statement from the Syrian Interim Government on this matter, it is clear that this is a topic related to the integration process.

May Day statement in Kobanê.
The Democratic Society Movement (TEV-DEM) and the Kobanê Workers' Union held a joint press conference on the occasion of May 1st, International Workers' Day. The statement, delivered by Kobanê Workers' Union Co-Chair Mihemed Derwîş and Democratic Union Party (PYD) Women's Council Member Bedîa Miho, celebrated the holiday of the entire working class, especially the workers of Kobanê who contribute to the construction of a developed society, and who never shy away from fulfilling their duties with loyalty and selflessness and facing challenges under all circumstances.

The statement, which commemorated those who have fought for social justice, freedom, and dignity throughout history, said: “The workers' struggle in Syria, and especially in Rojava, is also a complex process due to Türkiye's attacks on infrastructure, ISIS's attack on Kobanê, and the sieges. In such processes, workers have faced harsh conditions such as attacks targeting their rights to life and work, murders, sieges, hunger, displacement policies, economic restrictions, widespread unemployment, injustice, and exploitation.”

In a statement expressing continued support for workers on the occasion of Labor Day, it was stated that the struggle would ensure the protection of workers and their families and strengthen the principles of social justice, and the following statements were included: “Organization and struggle are the only way to eliminate betrayal, exploitation, and social injustice. The only weapon of all workers is solidarity. We salute the resistance of the working class and emphasize that workers' rights are not a right granted by fate, but indisputable legal and ethical rights.”

The statement, which expressed wishes for security, stability, and a dignified life for all peoples throughout Syria and Rojava, included the following call: “We call on all the children of the Syrian people to see this day as an opportunity for unity and solidarity, to reject hate and hostility, and to thwart the conspiracies of those who seek to use the blood of the Syrian people for their own interests. Let us work together to build a democratic, pluralistic, and decentralized Syria where a dignified and free life is possible for all, and to strengthen the collaborative roles of Syrian and Kurdish women in production and resistance.”

The statement concluded by announcing that due to the current conditions in tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Sipan Hamo: From PKK Cadre to Deputy Minister of Defense for Eastern Syria
Sipan Hamo is a prominent Syrian Kurdish military commander who, in March 2026, assumed the post of Deputy Minister of Defense for the Eastern Region. His appointment represents a pivotal milestone in the historic process of integrating the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the institutions of the Syrian state following the political transition in Damascus. Over more than three decades, Hamo’s career has mirrored the shifting alliances, conflicts, and geopolitical complexities that have shaped modern Syria.

<Origins and Early Militancy

Born Samir Aso in Afrin, Hamo began his political and military trajectory in 1994 when he joined the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). He spent his formative years in the PKK’s military structure, receiving training in the group’s camps in the Qandil Mountains of northern Iraq. During this period, he used several noms de guerre, including “Darwish Afrin” and “Swar,” before adopting the name Sipan Hamo. His long association with the PKK has remained a central point of contention, particularly for Turkey, which designates the PKK as a terrorist organization.

<Founding the YPG and Ascendancy within the SDF

With the outbreak of the Syrian uprising in 2011, Hamo returned to Syria and became one of the principal founders of the People’s Protection Units (YPG). He rose to the position of Commander-in-Chief, overseeing the group’s evolution from a localized militia into a disciplined and effective fighting force.

When the YPG became the backbone of the US-supported Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in 2015, Hamo secured a seat on the SDF General Command. He gained international recognition for his leadership in the campaign against ISIS, particularly during the decisive Battle of Kobani (2014–2015). Following the collapse of the ISIS caliphate, forces under his command expanded their control across much of Syria’s northeast, including large areas of Hassakeh, Raqqa, and Deir ez-Zor.
Controversies and Human Rights Allegations

Hamo’s rise was accompanied by significant controversy. Human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, documented allegations against the YPG during its territorial expansion. These reports cited forced displacement of Arab and Turkmen residents in areas such as Tell Abyad, the dePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>A 2006 WPO opinion poll found that the majority of Afghans endorsed America's military presence, with 83% of Afghans stating that they had a favorable view of the US military forces in their country. Only 17% gave an unfavorable view.
>A 2015 survey by Langer Research Associates found that 77% of Afghans support the presence of US forces; 67% also support the presence of NATO forces. Despite the problems in the country, 80% of Afghans still held the view that it was a good thing for the United States to overthrow the Taliban in 2001. More Afghans blame the Taliban or al-Qaeda for the country's violence (53%) than those who blame the US (12%).
The US invasion of Aghanistan was done for purely selfish purposes and the US killed civilians regularly and with impunity. However, could an argument be made that the invasion was actually justified, based purely on the comparative evil of the Taliban?
I'm not trolling, I think this is an important discussion to have.

Your people allowed so much kid rape to happen that the locals eventually decided the Taliban were the lesser of two evils and kicked your ass out.

>>2810546
I remember some Afghanistan war documentary, I think "This Is What Winning Looks Like," they talked about how the infrastructure plans never went anywhere and got pocketed by corrupt local elites. So if that was true and generalized through the country you can't even make the excuse about increasing productive forces.

>>2813276
Definitely read The Afghanistan Papers. It goes in depth into what a total shitshow the whole thing was from start to finish. Half the time the ISAF forces weren't even fighting the Taliban but chasing random farmers and bandits around. The first troops to be deployed were taught Arabic instead of Farsi. Pretty much every infrastructure package went directly to warlord palaces or partying in Europe, and reading about the stuff those guys got up to in the 90s will make your skin crawl. The entire thing was a farce.

from what I understand its exaggerated, the military control the foreign policy and diplomacy, and can throw its weight to make the government fall when it feels its needed, but the civilian government is still in control of internal policy and is a liberal democracy

You gotta really hand it to Kim Il Sung for coming up with an entirely new ideology to get around having to take sides in the Sino Soviet split, he had debts to both China and the USSR and navigated that fact perfectly for the time. Maybe I’m ready to embrace him as eternal president it’s way smarter than what Pol Pot, TPLF, Hoxha, and Le Duan were doing at the time.

automation, outsourcing, immigrants, destruction of the productive forces, imperialist war…. all have a hard ceiling: which is the subsistence of the average person. eventually the reserve army of labor will be stretched beyond its limits, and the bourgeoisie will have to choose: kill off most people, or give UBI to subsidize consumption. They will have to choose the latter, because the former will leave them with no market, and more productive forces than they need to satisfy themselves. They will create the Wall-E people who exist just to consume, and maybe occasionally be harvested for organs and stem cells.

I don't understand your point, of course the revolution can't be achieved by only economic means like unionizing, but you can't just chimp out and start killing people, there needs to be a material basis on which to start the fight, and global unionization seems like a good start to push history foward.

this is economism.
why must a labour union only concern itself with the economic wellbeing of it's members when injustices and tyranny exist outside itself?
Why be content with paying dues to a union that will barely fight for your own rights when the gestapo are disappearing your neighbors?



 

I wrote this article on "Dare To Struggle", a front group for the "Organization of Communist Revolutionaries", itself a splinter group of the RCP (Bob Avakian's cult). There is basically nothing on the group on the internet besides its own posts and websites, I decided to change that. Notable things they've done are threatening to kill other leftist groups for being liberals (despite doing materially the same things as them) and somehow never getting in trouble for them, praising the Shining Path more than any other communist group that actually beat the capitalists in their country, and general retardation and LARPing. Would be interested in seeing what other people think about this group.

Thirding this, there's a reason why "accelerationism" is almost purely a neo-nazi thing, and you know why that is? It's because by adopting accelerationism as a strategy you are tacitly admitting that nobody sane would support your political faction under the present circumstances, and the only way you can ever take power is by deliberately making everything worse for everyone until you can brutalize people into following you out of fear and for basic necessities.
