Poilievre is just a colossal retard who blew the easiest election win in history by being too much of a Yankee blowing cuck.

Election protests in Honduras as Congress panel vows not to validate result

Officials of a Honduras Congress panel threatened on Wednesday not to validate the result of a Nov. 30 presidential election, citing an "electoral coup" and "interference" by U.S. President Donald Trump, as counting stretched into an 11th day.

While the ruling LIBRE leftist party has no chance of winning the election, it is throwing its support behind Salvador Nasralla, of the center-right Liberal party, who has also alleged fraud and said he has won the election.
It is unclear if Wednesday's declaration by the permanent commission of Congress, which escalates the election crisis, could be enough to annul the results, which must be validated by two of the three members of the National Electoral Council.

With more than 99% of ballots counted, conservative Nasry Asfura of the National Party was about 40,000 votes ahead of Nasralla of the Liberal Party, while LIBRE candidate Rixi Moncada was a distant third.
But inconsistencies in roughly 15% of the tally sheets require further review, heightening the political suspense, as those could be sufficient to sway the election outcome.

by completely missing the point of the question, the fact that marx "didnt distinguish" is simply completely irrelevant, you think your answer is "right" while its just useless pedantry. If you're discussing communism and private and personal property concepts come up, they respectively refer to the lucrative possession of means of production or personal use, hence why I pointed out the actual best simple answer for a simple question

House votes to nullify Trump order and restore bargaining rights for federal workers
Nearly two dozen House Republicans joined Democrats Thursday to pass a bill that would restore collective bargaining rights for hundreds of thousands of federal employees, an attempt to overturn an executive order that President Donald Trump issued earlier this year.

60,000 multimillionaires own 3 times more wealth than half the world’s population
A new report from the World Inequality Lab, the product of four years of comprehensive research, finds that economic inequality on a world scale continues to increase by leaps and bounds, with vast wealth concentrated in a tiny handful of billionaires and centi-millionaires. As the report’s foreword declares: "The data presented here are striking. The richest 10% of the global population own close to three-quarters of all wealth, while the poorest half hold barely 2%. Fewer than 60,000 multi-millionaires now control three times more wealth than half of humanity combined. Within most countries, the bottom 50% rarely possess more than 5% of national wealth. "
The World Inequality Lab was established through efforts to investigate global inequality initially spearheaded by economists Thomas Piketty, Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez, co-authors of a series of studies on the concentration of wealth and income. According to the report, the wealthiest 0.001 percent have seen their share of the world’s wealth grow from 4 percent to 6 percent since 1995, while the bottom half of the world’s population controls only 2 percent. Multimillionaires have increased their wealth by approximately 8 percent each year over the past three decades, nearly twice the rate of the bottom half of the population.

An AI-Powered Stock Market
The stock market is, plainly, no longer simply a concern of the elite. “We like to joke that the markets are not the economy,” Peter Atwater of Financial Insyghts recently told Bloomberg, “but we’ve reached a point now where the economy is the markets.” In past articles, I’ve covered the rise and risks of retail investing for everyday Americans. To recap: a majority of Americans now own stocks; young women are the fastest growing demographic of investors; and the onset of “commission free” trading has lured millions of us into high-risk trading in speculative stocks and the derivatives market. All of this has taken place under the guise of words like access, equality, and democratization. Yet recent weeks has seen a spread of predictions of a bubble — and cracks beginning to show in the consumer economy as well as private crePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Material conditions.
If you come from a wealthy background, you have better access to education, food, living conditions, etc. It's simple reality.

>Sure, but how doesn‘t that make THEM the historic subject?
It doesn't work that way. The material conditions of society shapes the man, not the other way around.
<Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past.

To expand on this, what do you think would happen if you transported Napoleon to today's world? Do you think he would've had the same impact? Of course not. He would no longer be relevant, his actions would be meaningless.
The material conditions of society are the ones that determine history.

Fidels dad was literally a slave owner

Ángel Castro once had 500 Haitians working for him, and at the time of his death 400 Haitians on the estate.[1]: 28  Castro prospered and was eventually able to buy 1800 hectares and lease a further 10,000 hectares of land which yielded pine wood, livestock, and sugarcane. It is said that this prosperity was due in part to harsh treatment of his mostly Haitian workers, and various illegal exploits. Although perhaps slightly inaccurate in detail, there is a vivid description of late 1920s life, especially in reference to the plight of Haitian contract labour at Antilla and Banes in Bancroft in the northern part of what was then Oriente province.[7] Later in life Fidel recalled his father's corruption, buying votes from the existing political classes, but by the standards of the day he was probably less harsh than many proprietors. During the winter he would hire redundant workers from neighbouring plantations to weed the ground. He was an obeisant man, kind to his children, spoiled them even, and rarely lost his temper, except at dominoes. By the 1950s Ángel was worth about $500,000 (equivalent to $5,900,000 in 2024).

>>Wants the Party to lead the revolution
Bureaucrat.
>>Wants to establish councils/re-establish multiparty elections within the scope of socialism once the revolution abolishes capitalism
It'd be contradictory to have one party leading the working class and to then have multiparty elections, that would defeat the party's purpose. Also political parties are bourgeois.
>>Wants to be worldwide so that the bourgeoisie can't establish itself somewhere else
Yeah but how does that actually happen?
>The ML actions don't seem to have been this excellent too
Which proves that they're both impotent.

I can't speak to historical divisions as I've never found Trotsky that worthwhile as a theorist. I still don't understand what permanent revolution would mean in a practical sense had Trotsky taken power in the 20s, and Stalin ended up siding with the left of the party by the end of the 20s anyway.

As an organiser in Britain, I have frequent contact with Trots. They vary depending on the party.

> Socialist Party
Honestly, these guys are fine. They're a key part of TUSC which is a worthwhile project. They tend to have good links with local councils and, in my limited experience, will engage with MLs in good faith. They're not very radical so this probably helps avoid pointless sectarian bickering, or maybe I've only spoken with the good ones.

> SWP
They're sort of okay, I guess. Some of the work they do, like the People's Assembly and Stop the War, is important and MLs work alongside them. Individually they're often fairly based older ladies who genuinely give a fuck and will work with you in good faith. As an org they're hopelessly committed to entryism and we've all heard the horror stories of how they lie and cheat and subvert collective movements to their organisational goals. The classic symbol of this is how they show up to broad left events with protest signs with their name plastered on it - just so lame and bad faith lol. They get a lot of work done but for little use - quite impressive how busy they are without their work going anywhere meaningful.

>RCP (formally Socialist Appeal)
Yeah, these guys suck really, really bad. Their political project is based on having the most radical and correct opinions, and then educating everyone to agree with these opinions. This is why they only sell newspapers and run internal educationals, because they think revolution entails convincing the working class to agree with their very limited and idealist interpretation of Marxism. They don't need to base their movement on the working class and their experiences because they already have the Correct Opinions TM. Any meaningful organisation within the working class is a waste of time and there's always an excuse to not do it - bureaucratic unions and such like.

Individually, they're almost always objectionable in their interactions with MLs. Just looking to pick a fight and bicker away. Actually, this is how they behaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Trotsky is OK but trotskyists are not.
In my country, trotskyists just repeat the liberal's geopolitical positions. They're all "free ukraini", "down with Maduro!", "Cuba's a dictatorship", and on and on. All they care about is "being right" and selling newspapers. They don't have the slightest interest in taking power.
