New faces, old rivalries: Bolivia’s upcoming presidential elections
On April 19, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) of Bolivia registered 11 parties and five electoral alliances that will participate in the presidential elections on August 17, 2025.

Families of detainees in El Salvador and Venezuela decry Bukele’s prisoner swap offer
Sebastián García Casique, whose 24-year-old brother Francisco was also sent to the prison in El Salvador, also condemned the proposed trade. “Why are you using human beings in a negotiation as if they were toys?” he asked Bukele in a post on Instagram.

Israel faked Gaza tunnel discovery to prevent ceasefire: Gallant
"It was not a tunnel, but an attempt to prevent a ceasefire agreement," he said, adding "it was promoted to the public as a deep tunnel to prevent reaching a deal with Hamas". Egypt has denied that there were active tunnels on its border with Gaza throughout the duration of the war.

Judge orders bail hearing for detained student Mohsen Mahdawi next week
Judge Geoffrey W Crawford extended a temporary restraining order issued by a separate judge last week to keep Mahdawi in Vermont. Immigration authorities have sent other foreign students arrested for their pro-Palestinian views to detention centers in Louisiana and Texas, jurisdictions typically overseen by more conservative judges.

‘Crazy’: Forest Service cuts ignite fear, fury over wildfire risks
Trump has cut 10 percent of workers at the Forest Service, an agency that manages 193 million acres of national forests and grasslands, with more firings and a steep reorganization likely coming. About 75 percent of agency staff are trained in wildland firefighting. That means there are fewer workers around the country clearing brush and thinning trees to reduce the risk and intensity of wildfires. And when fires do break out, there will be fewer workers available to stop the spread.

Trump administration considers China tariff cuts: Report
The tariff levels outlined in the Wall Street Journal report would likely still be high enough to deter a significant chunk of trade between the world’s two largest economies. German shipper Hapag-Lloyd said Wednesday that 30 percent of its US-bound shipments from China have been cancelled.

Tudeh Party of Iran, On the imperative of continuing negotiations to ensure lasting peace and to advance the national anti-dictatorship struggle
With the conclusion of the second round of talks between the representatives of the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran and an agreement to continue the talks, it can be stated that this course has thus far been able to prevent the current tensions [between Iran and the West] from spilling over into a US military attack [on Iran] and the start of a war, as well as stay the hand of the war-mongering Israeli government away from attacking Iran. However, given Iran's currently crisis-ridden economy and gloomy predicament, the complete bankruptcy brought about by three decades of implementing anti-national foreign policies, and Khamenei's empty hand vis-à-vis Trump, our country still faces a range of grave threats from the most destructive factions of US imperialism for the time being. The nature and function of US imperialism to maintain its hegemony by resorting to wars and coup d'états, in order to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and determine the course of future developments there, is well-known and unchanging - and it has a long history, at least as far as our country is concerned. Trump would undoubtedly seize upon any opportunity to steer the Islamic Republic in a direction whereby it essentially becomes a strategic ally of the US in global interactions.

“You’re looking at the wrong 1%” – Tens of thousands protest attack on trans people
Last week, the UK Supreme Court carried out a ruling on the legal definition of a woman. This was picked up and amplified by the establishment media and politicians to continue whipping up their reactionary, divisive culture war. As we explained in our article last Thursday, this manufactured hysteria around trans people is used by the ruling class to distract from the various issues people face in their daily lives: bills going up; councils going bankrupt; wages and conditioPost too long.

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "The proletariat love you. Do you believe in the proletariat?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a communist or a socialist?" He said, "A communist." I said, "Me, too! Marxist-Leninist or anarchist?" He said, "Marxist-Leninist." I said, "Me, too! What kind of thought?" He said, "Trotskyist." I said, "Me, too! Intersectional Trotskyist or Classical Trotskyist?" He said, "Intersectional Trotskyist." I said, "Me, too! Socialist Action (United States), Socialist Alternative (United States), or Socialist Equality Party (United States)?"

He said, "Socialist Action (United States)." I said, "Me, too! Socialist Resurgence splinter group, or Socialist Action mainline?" He said, "Socialist Resurgence splinter group." I said, "Me, too!"

"Socialist Resurgence committee of 2019, or Socialist Resurgence committee of 2021?" He said, "Socialist Resurgence committee of 2021." I said, "Die, bourgeois revisionist!" And I pushed him over.

I think half of the appeal of this political ideology is just the words you people throw around. It's silly how there are like 67 slightly different "disciplines" of communism and yet you're super gung-ho about your exact one as if it's any more realistic than any of the others.
It's never going to happen. Ever. You give the unwashed masses too much credit. They'll never go against the tribe even for more money and a better life. All you need is Kid Rock or someone even lamer to tell them that it's gay to gripe about not making enough money and it's quelled.

Was Strasserism basically just National Bolshevism with German ethno-nationalism autism piled on top? It was the socialism in "National Socialism" after all, and its intriguing to wonder how things would have played out differently if mustache man hadn't co-op Goebbels from then and eventually purged them.

No Patel was not an ethno-nationalist and Bolshevism is not guild systemic.
>It was the socialism in "National Socialism"
What the fuck? No?
Asserites want you to believe that, but the Super Strasser Bros were liars and slanderers, they might have had a vision but it wasn't the only one in the party, and it was somehow more reactionary than both the planned, and end economy of the NSDAP. "Hitlerites taking over the pure Nazi ideals!" is a fascist cope.
>ts intriguing to wonder how things would have played out differently if mustache man hadn't co-op Goebbels from then and eventually purged them.
No, no it really isn't, if Strasser won he would have been co opted and invaded by the USSR after a lengthy civil war with enraged war vets who were calling for blood post ww1 anyway.



 

why do tankies claim to be the most well read when theyre the least well read?
evrn orthodox marxism intended to be done by tyranny of the majority than a regular tyranny.
lenin was also a neptard, only stalin was what we know of today as a full blown tyrannical communist.
Thats not to say there wasnt a method to his madness. Had the soviet union stayed the course until 1970 they would have surpassed the us in gdp and wed all be speakibg russian.
Anyways none of that applies to the modern reality.(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)

i don't claim to be well read. i routinely decry the pretentiousness of the academics. and theyre in bad faith, too. academics are the upper classes mindfucking and manipulating the lower classes with a bunch of useless, empty words.

people are starving. people are being exploited. huge swaths of society are privately owned and run by the wealthy. in America, in reality, our entire government has been bought by the wealthy so really theyre privately running everything.

they're using that influence to stoke identity politics. culture wars. on both sides (yes, that means you too who is reading this, radical trans activist with the BLM bumper sticker on your prius. it means you especially). theyre keeping us all divided, mindcontrolled, and subjugated and at eachothers throats over identity with these well choreographed illusions.

they run the media. as well as social media. and so bad is the problem that Americans have now been convinced that these billionaire capitalists, with far right agendas, are somehow pushing a leftwing agenda. because thus is the power of brainwashing. and how can people ever be expected to overcome their enemy when they cant even recognize it as an enemy? or when they vaguely recognize it as an enemy, but understand it's agenda all in reverse.

and through it all, of course, the wars for capitalism are raging. and somehow people who view themselves as "leftwing" in America have come down on being the side more supportive of those wars.

these are real issues. real world problems. real world, concrete happening that are distinctly unabstract. they effect people. so fancy rich assholes with their abstractions and pretentious books are unimpressive to me. unimpressive and frankly inducing rage.

Saudi Arabia is drooling at the idea that Yemen and Palestine are gonna get annihilated in the short term. Now the arab kings will do business with Israel openly just like they want. Thanks islamists!



 

thoughts on militancy in labor unions?
Like no bs you give us a raise or your dead boss man.
werent the teamsters backed by the mafia?
Not sure if that was just extorting unions though.

Bc actual revolution means armed struggle and you van't make $140k a year as party chairman + have your consulting job lined up if you are looking at it like that. That's not even saying ur party has to be engaging with that, but you have to atleast be able to acknowledge it.

>>2230315
you cant. at least in the first world
killing people who happen to be the majority of the american populist
christians, capitalist's, racists, hetronormitives,
so you're already fighting an uphill battle from the beginning trying to convince people to hate them self's and sacrifice their ability to succeed and lower their standards of living to that of the dredges communists only seem to care about,
communists go about this by piggybacking off black struggle by calming the destruction of entire city blocks in chimp outs is the direct result of capital keeping the working class down
