>All cops are bastards
This is true. Bastard profession, evolved from literal slave catching, services the state and capital
>But what if didn't?

Cops and police departments are giant gangs, this is known. Is the solution bringing back one town sheriff the people elect? We're going to be stuck with this system of policing, if not experience a worsening, if the left doesn't buck up and become cops to sabotage from within or start making calls for the return of sheriffs. Yankees love returns to tradition, and having them bring back something we had 100 years ago might be the only way to address this problem head on.

If you actually read Marx for once, specifically what he wrote about the Paris Commune, you'd know any actual communist/socialist is for abolishing the police *immediately*. What was left to act as the enforcement organ of the commune was the national guard, which all people in the commune belonged to. It worked well too

<Wonderful, indeed, was the change the Commune had wrought in Paris! No longer any trace of the meretricious Paris of the Second Empire! No longer was Paris the rendezvous of British landlords, Irish absentees, American ex-slaveholders and shoddy men, Russian ex-serfowners, and Wallachian boyards. No more corpses at the morgue, no nocturnal burglaries, scarcely any robberies; in fact, for the first time since the days of February 1848, the streets of Paris were safe, and that without any police of any kind.


The inability for "marxists" to see a reality without police is just proof of the eternalization of private property within their own mind. The police *only* exist to protect private property. No other reasons. If you think this is just replacing the word "police" with "national guard", that's just showing ignorance of what the police are.

ngl non-state sanctioned gangs also have to worry abt legitimacy too. The largest and most developed set in my old neighborhood would literally hold barbecues and 4th of July events for their neighborhood. Not to mention there recruitment pool is more localizied than a city police department.

in burgerland its not a myth the first modern police department(as in special body of armed men in uniform tied to a local municipal government) was a group of slave catchers down in Charleston south carolina. Cant speak on other countries tho.

If you think we can function without police your a moron

Can we admit that weed culture sucks and is actually destructive for society's well being?
Alcohol sucks too. Drugs shouldn't be banned but drug subculture is cringe. Drug addiction shouldn't be a culture. Psychoactive substances only increase mental health problems and are a detriment for your body. Not saying the end goal of life is to be productive but every stoner I know from high school has seriously failed to even achieve the most basic of everyday tasks such as cooking and self grooming. It's why the crusty stoner who reeks of sweat and pot is a well known stereotype.

The annual Socialism Conference in Chicago is just a few short weeks away! Have you secured your ticket yet?

The subject came up in the current /ukr/ thread, >>2279417 , specifically the 2019 article by The Gray Zone outing many of the participants as USAID/NED funded glowies:

And the weaksauce rebuttal for what little it's worth:

This thread is for discussing the upcoming event, which I think is safe to say will be the tastemaking event of the year as far as pseudo-left talking points are concerned. Why not get a preview of the hottest psy ops and troll topics of the coming year BEFORE they hit forums near you? It's GLOW-CON!

Iran has gone of the full-scale offensive against the most genocidal fascist regime to exist in our lifetime: the Zionist entity. Iran pounding Tel Aviv and turning it into Gaza represents real anti-fascism more than a bunch of liberals crying about Trump holding a parade or black bloc wackos smashing windows. Fascism is only on the run when its proverbial skull meets the pavement.

I will defend the economic sovereignty of others because by preventing the expansion of the financial capital of imperialist capitalism, imperialist capitalism will be weakened to maintain order in the world and if this hegemony that is maintained collapses, this will facilitate a socialist revolution to nationalize private companies in your country, where American and European imperialist hegemony will not be able to sanction this socialist state in the future, allowing it to consolidate and acquire economic self-sufficiency.

Marx tolerated the separation of Ireland as an alternative if there is no union between English and Irish workers due to English chauvinism, therefore continuing to be a subjugated and exploited people would not be tolerated so that the Irish have a more equal relationship with the English independently so that a future socialist federation can be formed. At the same time, Marx never tolerated the financing of liberals against the so-called Russian despotism in the Crimean War, therefore imperialist capitalist financing abroad must be opposed without exception.

Now in the case of the Palestinians, you have a population that has never had economic sovereignty over energy, water, food or the entry and exit of goods as has always been the case in Gaza, which is why there is the right to fight and Iran also has these rights if nuclear energy is denied to this country.

I will leave a few quotes for those individuals confused about the concept of capitalist imperialism and national liberation movements to expose the opportunists here.

First, let's look at Lenin's definition of capitalist imperialism:

<But very brief definitions, although convenient, for they sum up the main points, are nevertheless inadequate, since we have to deduce from them some especially important features of the phenomenon that has to be defined. And so, without forgetting the conditional and relative value of all definitions in general, which can never embrace all the concatenations of a phenomenon in its full development, we must give a definition of imperialism that will include the following five of its basic features:


<(1) the concentration of production and capital has developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies w

Read what I posted in my other post to understand the Marxist-Leninist position of always opposing and sabotaging the financing of imperialist capitalism abroad and why Palestinians and Iran have the right to violence to acquire economic sovereignty and prevent puppets of financial capital who want more dependence on capitalist imperialism.

>proletarians in Iran stand to gain more from being nuked by the Israeli regime in defense of the Iranian bourgeoisie than a revolutionary movement that overthrows all the governments of the region including Israel’s
again no one is saying this. the communists in iran call for that and have full support in doing so. they also correctly understand the material conditions and are not calling for revolutionary overthrow at this time and instead for organizing the working masses into a force capable of doing the needful before enacting their plans, which is correct.
no one supports the Iranian bourgeoisie or the regime over and above the actual movement they just agree with the movement that they are not ready and will get crushed if they do it right now, and will probably alienate a lot of people who will see it as foreign interference or suicidal and will be pushed towards the regime and endorse crackdowns.

Title says it all. Martov's hysteria and swampification of the menshevik wing pushed it into an opportunistic alliance with the counterrevolutionary forces. But this does not invalidate menshevik tactics. These are informed by the pre-2nd Int'l German SPD. The kernel of menshevik policy really is in the membership rules. Leninism/bolshevism opts out for professional revolutionaries, financial and organizational support while menshevism opts for financial or organizational support. But bolshevik tactics were suited for a, say, Russian autocracy or Yugoslavian monarchofascism, or Mongolia even; not in 'democratic' western European states. The Brussels/London congress demarcated the tactics for the 'west' (democracies) and 'east' (autocracies).

Which brings me to the main point. Menshevik tactics seem to be historically good when there is actual political and organizational freedom and when they are used with genuine anti-imperialist sentiment.
>the PKI (Indonesian communist party) did not consider itself subordinate to any foreign party.⁷ By then, it was the third-largest communist party in the world—after those of China and the Soviet Union—and the largest outside them. Its strategy of nonviolent, grassroots engagement had yielded considerable success. The party counted over three million official members. Organizations affiliated with the PKI—including SOBSI (Central All-Indonesian Workers Association), LEKRA (People’s Cultural Institute), BTI (Barisan Tani Indonesia), Pemuda Rakyat (People’s Youth), and Gerwani (Women’s Movement)—had an estimated combined membership of at least twenty million.
>Altogether, nearly a quarter of Indonesia’s population of one hundred million was connected to the PKI, and nearly a third of adult registered voters were affiliated with the party.⁸ The PKI operated openly and extensively throughout the country. However, at the national level, its influence over policy was almost entirely dependent on President Sukarno.
Okay, there's the immediate critique also. But I think that we should reevaluate menshevik contribution to the communist movement. Maybe instead of underground tactics we actually start building a genuine popular communist lead anti-imperialist movement. After all, Martov and Arkadieev were two organizers that shifted the RSDLP from circle organizing to factory agitation.

Colombia’s Congress approves historic labor reform, Petro withdraws referendum
Multiple articles in the reform seek to make it more difficult companies to perpetually employ workers on a temporary basis, including those who are employed in the so-called gig economy. Companies will have to pay extra compensation for labor between 7PM and 6AM Some 69,000 “community mothers,” men and women who provide care and education to kids from the neighborhood, will be formally integrated into and paid by the Family Welfare Institute. Some 400,000 students who do an internship are granted full labor rights and be paid in full for their services.Workers who work on Sundays and holidays will be paid double instead of 175% of the normal wage. The government and its coalition in Congress conceded in demanding menstrual leave for women, which was left out of the reform.

New Rio de Janeiro law requires public hospitals to display anti-abortion signs
A new law has just come into force in Rio de Janeiro requiring all public hospitals and clinics run by the municipal government to display anti-abortion signs bearing messages such as: “Did you know that the unborn child is discarded as hospital waste?” Reproductive rights activists view the act as the latest example of a growing trend across Brazil to further restrict access to abortion in a country that already has some of the world’s most restrictive laws.

Judge orders pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil released from jail
U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz determined that Khalil isn’t a flight risk or a danger to the community, and lightly rebuked the government, calling its effort to continue seeking his detention “highly, highly unusual.” The judge ordered Khalil to be released from custody at some point Friday, a step that will allow him to return to New York to be reunited with his wife and newborn baby, who was born during Khalil’s detention.

West Papua’s Forever War
Mehrtens’s kidnapping was also a major embarrassment for the political elite in Jakarta, and a sign of the military’s failure to “secure” and “pacify” West Papua by armed force. Shortly after his release, Indonesia’s newly elected president, Prabowo Subianto, assumed office, having been elected on a demagogic nationalist agenda. He had secured nearly 60 percent of the vote, aided by the fact that his running mate, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, happened to be the son of his predecessor, the vastly popular Joko “Jokowi” Widodo. Since taking office, Prabowo has “increased the use of excessive violence and force,” according to Theo Hesegem, a human rights defender. “The violence in West Papua’s central highlands has increased greatly,” he tells me. Even worse, he adds, the increased deployments of thousands of military personnel grew beyond the president’s control, paving the way for isolated army units to commit atrocities and human rights crimes against unarmed and unprotected civilians without any risk of legal punishment. Shortly after Mehrtens’s release, “a silent TNI [Indonesian military] operation” swept through Yuguru, and a suspected independence activist, twenty-seven-year-old Abral Wandikbo, was kidnapped, killed, mutilated, and later found dead in a community plantation area. Reports from various isolated areas in the central highlands have proven to Hesegem that kidnappings, summary executions, and mutilations are “part of a pattern of TNI’s working methods” in West Papua, and that the tragic fate of Abral Wandikbo is merely one of many in this region. Witnesses have provided accounts and photo documentation of mutilated ears, mouths, noses, and testicles: crimes inflicted upon civilians by TNI units sweeping through refugee communities shortly after massive air raids initiated by the Jakarta governmenPost too long.

The world's most irrelevant US proxy christian shithole state.
Known for having one of the ugliest flags. Probably has cartel issues. Also known for being one of the small US proxy shitholes that recognizes Taiwan.

Apparently there is a "communist party" which doesn't even have its own glowpedia page and is completely irrelevant and niche since Belize is a two party dictatorship of the bourgeoisie modeled after the US.

The population of Belize is around 397,483 ants and 4 CIA agents.

Does anyone know what the politics like there? It's such an irrelevant country its almost antimemetic because of how nobody cares to look at it.
