Ban on Palestine Action was lawful, court of appeal rules
In her written judgment, she said: “The future threats and risks posed to third-party individuals and property by Palestine Action are perhaps the most important factors to weigh in the balance. In that connection, it is important to understand that the home secretary is in the best position to assess those future threats and risks. She is advised by experts in anti-terrorism …

EU developing rules to ‘bite hard’ if new members go rogue, says enlargement chief
The European Commission already “has some ideas” on how to strengthen the system, she said, including safeguards and transition periods before certain membership rights are fully granted. The EU executive is consulting member countries concerned that future enlargements could complicate decision-making or allow governments to reverse reforms after accession.

AOC's hot streak on endorsements divides the left
While Sanders has endorsed dozens of progressive candidates up and down ballots across the country this year, Ocasio-Cortez has been more choosy.
Some on the left say she's being overly cautious, and reluctant to support progressives who are taking on her Democratic colleagues in the House.

No Crocs or baby onesies - the draconian Delaney Hall dress code ICE uses to deem toddlers ‘too provocative’
In one such visit, a guard nearly rejected them because of Soto’s 11-month-old’s onesie, she said. On another occasion, she told the Guardian, Delaney Hall rejected them because Gabriela’s four-year-old daughter was iuyghings. When Gabriela would ask why their clothes weren’t allowed, guards said they were too “provocative”, she said. “How is that provocative if she’s only four years old?” said Gabriela, referring to her daughter.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom says Trump’s Justice Department is investigating him and his wife
A person familiar with the matter denied the existence of an investigation specifically targeting the governor, but said there are multiple federal probes into people around him, including one related to his wife’s taxes. That probe began last year, and political leadership in Washington was not involved in the decision to open it, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss ongoing investigations.

Errico Malatesta: Let’s Demolish — and then?
I say that to abolish the gendarmerie, and baleful social institutions of whatever kind, we need to know what we want to replace them with — not in a more or less distant future but now, the very same day the demolition work begins. You cannot really destroy, and permanently, without having what we put in its place. To postpone to a later date the solution to the urgent problems that arise would be to give a breathing space to those same institutions that we want to abolish, to recover from tie received blow and to re-impose themselves once more, perhaps under other names but certainly the same in essence. Our solutions will be accepted by a sufficiently large section of the population and we shall have created anarchy, or at least made a step towards it. Or it may be that they will not have been understood and accepted and in that case our work will serve as propaganda, and will be placed before the general public as the program for the near future. But in any case, we must have our solutions: provisional solutions, no doubt; ones that can be revised and modified in the light of experience, but necessary if we do not wish to endure passively the solutions of others, limiting ourselves to the hardly useful role of grumblers who are both incapable and impotent.

Statement of the European Communist Action on the 2026 G7 Summit, which is dangerous for the interests of the people
The main leaders of the Euro-Atlantic capitalist bloc will meet at the G7 Summit, to be held in Évian, France, from 15 to 17 June 2026, to update capitalist arrangements regarding energy, which is highly costly for the peoples, the so-called security and anti-people governance. The 2026 G7 summit will take place in the context of efforts to halt the consolidation of the capitalist bloc led by China, thanks to its capitalist development, which, in alliance with Russia, is challenging the United States for the status of leading economic power. The European Communist Action condemns the anti-worker and anti-popular orientation and policies of the bourgeois governments of the G7, NATO and the European Union which, amidst the growing contradictions and tensions between major capitalist Post too long.

Borders are an archaic and barbaric concept. No human is illegal unless they’ve committed a crime. A REAL crime. Not just the crime of being from Mexico. Our immigration systems are purposefully undermined, underfunded, and extremely limited in the amount of people they let in to the point of functional impossibility.

OP is peak liberal idealist nonsense. Read a book.



 

This history of socialism shows, with perfect clarity, that a fully planned economy is plainly inferior to a socialist market economy. This is not to say that fully planned economies are bad, they absolutely do have their strengths. But economies that are partially planned, directed rather than dictated, have all of the same strengths, while being infinitely more flexible. The socialism of then may have raised millions out of poverty, but it was the socialism of now century that raised them into luxury, luxury greater than anything the capitalist world has ever been able to provide.

Western "Marxists" are fucking obsessed with the idea of command economies. Half of them say that AES states are not actually socialist; this is wrong. The other half says that AES states have only temporarily adopted markets, and will return to the Golden Path as soon as possible; this is also wrong, and much more egregiously so, be because it requires ignorance of and/or cognitive dissonance towards the official statements and actions made by these nations.

Western "Marxist" arguments in favor of command economies are, likewise generally rooted in ignorance, not understanding that the lifestyles they have/aspire to would be unfeasible within a purely planned system. Those that are not rooted in ignorance are instead rooted in aceticism, in poverty worship, in an intellectual cancer that must be rooted out by whatever means necessary.

Sure, we may, at some point, obviate markets. But it would require a fundamental change in the means of production that, by my calculations, is far, far away from where we are now.

In any case, you would do yourself well to stop worshipping the corpses of Stalin and Mao and join the rest of us in the 21st century.

OP regardless of China its not really true that planned economies are worse and in any case computers are advanced enough now to have a fully planned economy was more efficient and better than the USSR ever did, and doing a market economy in 202X let alone after is opportunism. The fundamental change you sought was already completed arguably in the 80s/90s its just that the USSR already got taken over by revisionists and lost interest in planned economies and communism in general by then

<INDEP online Talk with Leone – On Defining and Measuring Human Needs with Democratic Planning
>This is a recording of our online event with Leone on Defining and Measuring Human Needs with Democratic Planning, which was held on June 9th 2026.
>You can find the description below:
>Meeting social needs with democratic planning requires that we learn how to see and define those needs, and that we institutionalize such learning processes in postcapitalist governance. In this presentation, Leone explores some meditations on the politics of measurements and their role in planning processes in a postcapitalist world, with a focus on democratic investment planning. The essay upon which this presentation is based seeks to articulate some of the core political problems around measurements which we must design real-world interventions to solve. He invites scrutiny and feedback on his current essay draft, which can be found on the discord server of the Econophysics community: https://fbi.gov/invite/9jZYkRYYWA

Let's rehearse the facts:
>The US bombed Cambodia harder than they did in Nazi Germany and Japan
>The majority of the urban population were refugees from the countryside when the cities were emptied.
>Life expectancy dropped to its lowest point in 1975, before the Khmer Rouge took over. Afterwards, it began increasing.
>The Khmer Rouge successfully did all they could do prevent famine.
>The Khmer Rouge was not peasantist/primitivist. There was investment in light industry, healthcare and education.
>Thousands were killed in the Vietnamese invasion. More refugees fled per year from the puppet regime than from the Democratic Kampuchea.
>The central government ordered a stop to all killings on several occasions.
>The CIA only supported the Khmer Rouge after Vietnam took over to fuck with the USSR. The same CIA that bombed the country to rubble

Am I saying the KR was good? No. But blindly believing in propaganda is stupid.

Anarkids come out AGAINST accessible high-speed rail system.

Please tell me again how anarchism isn’t simply petit-bourgeois rebellion?

They are calling a project that will greatly increase accessibility and reduce the car and oil monopoly “anti-indigenous” or whatever. How can anyone take these people seriously?

Landback is just a petty bourgeois demand for land that comes more from those who don't live on any reservations. The pb types try to argue that landback would give the chance for people to start buisnesses as a solution to indigenous poverty.

Reform isn't inherently bad in itself. The problem is that liberalism wants to redirect worker power so that it only seeks ever shifting reforms and never achieves socialism. It's just a carrot they dangle in front of people. A carrot they can move closer or pull away at will in order to keep workers in line.
As for the Landback people, once you pull away all the post-colonialist academic talk, they are just nationalists. And if they ever get their way they will just stab communists in the back exactly the same way most nationalist movements did in the 20th century. Fundamentally they only see leftists as useful idiots.

the biggest obsticle for anarchists is not the state but rather the fact that they are just really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really reallyreally really really really really realy lame

Just rediscovered this piece of Ben Garrison worthy drivel. It accordingly needs a Lefty makeover. Can anyone good with video editing help?

I’m an anarchist who spent years exploring Islam in my teen years in the early 2010s only to convert to Catholicism in 2018 on the basis Catholicism was the most historically-accurate religion and the only explicitly anarchist faith. It pains me to see how many leftists still believe Islam ought to be the global liberation theology, and that leftists should throw out Western thought (including DiaMat) in favour of Islamic epistemology. So much of Islam begs the question and is not at all what the left should be embracing in terms of a theological worldview.

So as a Catholic anarchist in the tradition of Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day, I have sone questions for Muslims:

  1. Muslims claim the Bible is corrupted. So WHO did the corrupting and WHY was it corrupted? The argument I hear the most often is that Jewish and Catholic priests corrupted the Bible in order to reinforce their hierarchical power, but no one can point to when this happened or how they did it. Also, Jewish priests had no political power at that time and the Church was always counter to the state, so why would they need to “corrupt” Scripture to promote hierarchy?

  2. In the same vein, why does Islam place so much emphasis on the state when Jesus established the Church specifically to abolish the state? Islam demands a worldwide Caliphate with a very stringent political hierarchy. Why would that be needed if Christ’s Church is anti-statist?

  3. Also, the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas, especially on his doctrine of natural rights, is 100% anti-state and anti-hierarchy. Thomism is arguably the backbone of anarchist thought. It even attacks private property. Why does Islam have zero equivalent?

  4. Catholics have historically had the most anarchist results due to Catholic Social Teaching emphasizing the inherit dignity of all people. If Islam is true, why does Islam only result in authoritarianism?

Because this is stuff that if your not an anglophone, takes like two seconds to google. The first female universities were ran by Muslims, Islam prohibited alcohol just like Lenin wanted to for the exact same reasons.

Islam was the first religion to make the men pay dowry to the women instead of vice versa so that they have sufficient income in case of a divorce and can enter the workforce or remarry. Islam was the first religion to outright name racism a sin and not in a convulated good Samaritan story way, in a very blunt the devil was the first racist way and the first man to call the Islamic prayer in mecca was an African man.

>>2840666
Plenty I could spam this thread if I wanted to. First read the epistle to Galatians where Paul admits to beefing with Peter. The scuffle with the Jerusalem church and him being salty about it in acts and Phillipines crying about super apostles ie guys who disliked him.

There's his whole tiff with the Ebionites.

He wasn't even up front about what he was doing, in Acts hes portrayed as straight up lying to Jesus brother James saying no I'm not telling people to abandon the law. Even while abandoning the law he still gets the nazarite vow (no sex no wine shaving your head) prob because the rabbis daughter had rejected him and he needed to play off being an incel as religious.

>>2841725
So you’re okay with stoning women to death for adultery?

>>2841727
None of these things make Islam more anarchist or even leftist than Christianity. Jesus came to abolish the state whereas Muhammad established a state. Jesus never wanted to make His Church a state but a counter institution to the state.

>>2840391
>Islam has been the ideological backbone of multiple revolutions including the Haitian Revolution
What? Proof? Haiti is Catholic and Voodoo, not Muslim.

The strong Sino-Israeli relationship should bury the illusions that many leftists have about the PRC’s purported socialism. With the transition to apolitical, business-first developmentalism during the Reform and Opening Up, the PRC decisively turned its back on the history of Third World solidarity and the Palestinian cause. The orientalist socialist fantasy and an excessive fixation on the past do not bring us closer to liberation but instead obscures the ongoing forms of collaboration that needs close scrutiny and unambiguous callout.
