US weighs new limits on Cuban travel at the UN as Havana decries Trump’s economic squeeze
Even as a sizable Cuban delegation was approved to come to the U.N. General Assembly this week, the State Department is now weighing “strict controls” on the officials who plan to return next month for an annual U.N. vote on the decadeslong U.S. economic embargo on Cuba.

Senate narrowly votes down resolution calling for end to Iran war
All but four Republicans voted against the measure despite concerns that GOP candidates will face fallout in November’s midterm elections from the war’s economic costs. Some Republicans running in tight races have recently broken with President Donald Trump and called for an end to the war to bring gas prices down, a sign of potential voter discontent over the war’s impact on the economy. The Republicans who voted for the resolution were Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Maine’s Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the lone Democrat to vote against it.

The 19-page report, titled “7Can the FBI Spy on the First Amendment?,” was sent to every congressional office by the advocacy group Defending Rights and Dissent (DRAD), exactly a year after the president signed National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7) in the wake of the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

(Chapo Trap House)1073 - Unsafe, Illegal, and Common feat. Kylie Cheung (9/21/26)
Journalist and author Kylie Cheung joins us for a survey of abortion rights in the post-Dobbs landscape. We discuss the anti-abortion surveillance state, the medical establishment’s failure to meet the moment, and the right’s construction of a broadly pro-rape politics. We also discuss the Democratic Party’s failures in protecting abortion and their continual usage of reproductive rights to hold voters hostage despite funding genocide—including genocide of pregnant women—abroad.

A Union Feud Shouldn’t Sink California’s Billionaire Tax
While much of the discourse around Prop 40 has understandably been devoted to what it means to tax the billionaires, it is saving Medi-Cal — and not some vague notion of “punishing the rich” — that is the central purpose of the initiative. However, rather than support this pragmatic solution to a looming crisis, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) California has officially remained neutral on the initiative, which was put forth by one of their own member unions, SEIU United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW). Now investigations commissioned by SEIU California and the international union allege that SEIU-UHW’s president, Dave Regan, the man widely acknowledged as the architect of the tax, has attempted to “extort” support for Prop 40 from them, according to the inflammatory headline in the Los Angeles Times, a newspaper owned by billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong. Coming less than two months before the election in November, the allegations against Regan bear all the hallmarks of a politically timed campaign — an attempt to chip away at Prop 40’s popularity. Now SEIU will have to decide which path to take: save health care coverage for nearly fifteen million Californians, or surrender to the billionaires. The key allegations against Regan are that he attempted to “extort” support for Prop 40 from SEIU California by threatening to investigate governance issues at the state council, and that this action was part of a pattern of “bullying,” directed at women in particular. At issue are Regan’s interactions with SEIU California’s then president, David Huerta, and its executive director, Tia Orr, who claims Regan attemptedPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Woke idpol has lead to the highest ever numbers of people identifying as socialists and communists in the Anglo world. This theory is stupid.
What actually happened is that politics has become mostly about dispositional expression. Wokeness and leftism appeal to one underlying disposition, and right-populism and reaction to another. /Leftypol/'s traditional anti-idpol stance is just what happens when you pair leftism with the underlying autism and alienation of imageboard users, and not for nothing has leftypol become more progressive over time.

The motivating premise of communisation is that we aren't lenin shoes. Communisers believe that the mass party politics of old was historically contingent - that is contingent upon the organised labour movement which in turn was contingent upon mass semi-skilled industrial factory workforces. Capitalist restructuring has decomposed this reality and thus decomposed the possibility for the old communist projects.

>In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a whole historical period entered into crisis and came to an end — the period in which the revolution was conceived … as the affirmation of the proletariat, its elevation to the position of ruling class, the liberation of labour, and the institution of a period of transition.
<Editorial - SIC 1

>Everywhere, the working class is less homogeneous — it is stratified across high- and low-income occupations; its work is more precarious; and it switches jobs more frequently. More and more workers feel like work has no purpose; for more and more are employed in dead-end service jobs, or are unemployed or unemployable. Like the housewives of an earlier era, they produce little more than the everyday reproduction of the class relation itself. For these reasons, we cannot follow the autonomists in supposing that an “objective” recomposition of the class will find its correlate in a new “subjective” affirmation of class identity.

>It’s not that it’s impossible today to glorify work or workers; it’s that those who can do so are necessarily a minority. They can no longer pose their activity, or the activity of any concrete fraction of the class, as having universal significance. The workers’ movement rested on a vision of the future that turned out to be a dream. In the second half of the twentieth century workers awoke from this dream to discover that all that was supposed to bring them together had actually separated them.

As opposed to previous era of struggle we have entered a new era in which the factory no longer serves as the germ of a new society in waiting. Masses of workers are expelled from the process of labour, either entirely, partially or intermittently. Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Fossil-fuel firms in line for billions in benefits after answering Trump’s donation call

Liberal dilemmas as the ruling class seeks a new vehicle for fragmented Britain
ED DAVEY has the perennial problem of Lib Dem leaders — how to make his second division team avoid further relegation. With polls showing just one in 12 voters considering voting for his party the Lib Dems are in fifth place behind Labour, Reform, the Tories and the Greens who have laid siege to a slice of their voters. Where Davey is right is in arguing that some elements in our ruling Establishment favour a Tory/Reform UK coalition. (Davey didn’t put it in these terms because to do so might draw attention to the uncomfortable fact that the austerity policies currently driving some of the support towards Nigel Farage were the centrepiece of Cameron’s Tory-Lib Dem coalition government and Lib Dem Treasury ministers were in the driving seat.)

What Are Prediction Markets—and Can They Really Predict the Future?
Supporters argue that this process aggregates publicly available information into a real-time forecast, allowing markets to reveal probabilities that sometimes outperform polls or expert opinion. Critics counter that these same incentives can reward speculation, manipulation, or insider knowledge, raising questions about whether they function primarily as forecasting tools, gambling platforms, or something in between. A contract’s price fluctuates with the probability of an event occurring and reflects that prediction. The price is intended to serve as the implied probability of the event occurring. Every contract includes a resolution date and rules that indicate how and when it will be settled. When the resolution date arrives, the market closes automatically, and the bettor is informed about the outcome. One major advantage of prediction markets is their simplicity. Will a given event occur by a certain date? It’s either yes or no. On two of the most prominent markets, Kalshi and Polymarket, a user buys one or more contracts that pay out $1 each if they’re right and nothing if they’re wrong.Unlike Kalshi, Polymarket relies on UMA (Universal Market Access), a decentralized oracle protocol, to resolve markets.

nah, talking about “barry soetoro” isn’t inherently racist; the issue is the leap you’re making from a real childhood name to a secret replacement or controlled-op plot. obama used that name while living in indonesia with his mother and stepfather, lolo soetoro; hawaii’s records place his birth in honolulu in 1961.

states absolutely do try to shape politics, and USAID has funded some LGBTQ-rights programs abroad. that doesn’t establish a coordinated plan to divide populations, though—and NATO membership doesn’t require countries to adopt LGBTQ policies. the “manufactured consent” idea is worth arguing about; these specific claims need evidence beyond the name and the broader pattern you suspect.

>>2919546
the history is real: cointelpro used infiltration, forged communications, and efforts to fracture groups like the black panthers and antiwar movements. but that history doesn’t by itself prove the specific things you’ve encountered are coordinated ops, and when everything starts fitting one terrifying pattern it’s worth having someone steady and outside the situation check the evidence with you.

keep the raw records and dates, separate what you directly saw from what you infer, and don’t confront anyone based on a suspicion alone. if you think there’s an immediate threat, get somewhere safe and talk to someone you trust offline.

It's always crazy to hear western leftists end up being the vanguard of the establishment, and purporting that our govt does nothing wrong or bad.

The United States govt has been involved in an 80 year long war against communists everywhere we exist. Part of that war involves information warfare, and psychological operations.

Pic rel was a famous recent example of a guy clearly wearing a mask and impersonating another person on national television. And are you going to all tell me "nope, I don't see it!" like you do with Obama and Osama? And even worse, we have people who are western leftists in this thread defending the United States' perpetration of 9/11! Which was done to manufacture public consent for many wars in the middle east, which were against communism, not "radical islamic terror", or whatever. Those were leftist nations, or the allies of communist nations who were making trad deals involving their oil with communists. And you all want to try to defend it? Complete insanity.

I post on /pol/, frequently, and you're living up to their propaganda there. And I post there to fight with them, not because I'm even remotely sympathetic to fascism.

BOOM! According to the people in this thread, "nothing to see here!" It's just another muslim radical terror incident! No psyops to justify wars which were intended to geopolitically oppose communism, through oil interests!!!!

Come on. Get real, people. Your government did this, to manufacture consent for wars against communism, but you actually think your clear idpol bait neoliberal faux-progressive savior Barrack Obama was real? You epitomize the failure of the western left, if you really think that.

In fact, I doubt you're even an actual western leftist, if you think this.

It is psychologically impossible for most people to live communally on a large scale, beyond their immediately relations. Therefore, communism outside of literal communes of a few dozen/hundred like-minded people is impossible. Socialism is the farthest you will get at the state level, and states are necessary for collective defence - your little commune can be annihilated in a single airstrike.

Stalin is both overrated and overhated. Brezhnev wasn't as bad was people said he was. Maoism is the new Trotskyism. Getting rid of the Gang of Four and ending the Cultural Revolution is the second best thing that happened to China. Anti-Communists actually have somewhat of a point when they say "Communism is against human nature."

Either that or a well-paid academic that gets to tell poor people to "check their settler privilege" from their gentrified neighborhood. It always comes down to class and most of Western leftoidism is the politics of the jilted petit-bourgeoisie. Most of these people are only "communist" not because they actually support communism but because they oppose their own countries. If they were Russians or Chinese, they'd be liberals. Tumblr is their past, BadEmpanda is their present and Van Jones is their inevitable future.
>Materialist Analysis often leads to positions that would be considered laughably immoral by most of the left, but it doesn't really matter because they are the true position.

Most Lefties would cry Fascist if they came across someone with the exact same positions Marx holds in it lmao.

There are at least 20 more years before the international reserve army of labor runs out and capitalism really begins to collapse.

Dialectial materialism is the most advanced method for understanding reality but most Marxists believe in 18th century mechanical materialism and mistake it for dialectics. Heraclitus fragments should be mandatory reading.

Identitarian groups and minority discussion are the last shovels of earth on top of the tomb of the revolution. The divisiveness of these movements is anti-revolutionary to the bones and has been co-opted by zionist capitalism a long time ago (if not fabricated by it). Feminism, anti-racism, gay movements, are all, 100% financed by capitalists and instrumentalized by CIA, Mossad and the sort. It only benefits capitalism.
If the revolutionaries don't start focusing strictly on class struggle right now, the struggle will be lost for fucking ever. It lacks so much objectivity in the left. It lacks focus, many great minds in play are being completely wasted in debates, subjective drama and terminology discussions. It seems like most of people have never believed in any type of revolution at all. What the fuck are we waiting for to actually do something? Another Luigi? This guy's attitude should have moved masses towards at least some interesting havoc against swines. Everything seems paralyzed. Much because of lack of cohesion these identitarian woke motherfuckers produced within the revolutionary movements.
