Are we doomed?
Climate Change is the biggest threat to humanity and nobody is doing anything about it, 10 years ago we would hear about it in the news and people would protest but people don’t even do that anymore. The only solution to stop the world from being destroyed in 10 years is to nationalize the extraction industry so we only burn as much fossil fuels as we need until we can fully convert to renewable energy but nobody will do that because that’s communism. Conservatives like to deny that climate change exists and censor journalists and scientists who speak the truth while liberals like to say “It’s Trump’s fault!” Even though they are just as responsible because Obama and Biden did nothing to stop this. The only hope I ever feel when reading the news about climate change is hearing about China’s clean energy infrastructure, it’s so good that I have to end this on it so I don’t have a mental breakdown.

How are Abrahamic religions any less bad than Nazism?
Pics are Bambidbar/Numbers 31:13-18. If you are a christcuck or jew, you by definition believe that the Torah or the Torah fanfic that is the bible is the infallible word of God. These books say that when you take a town, you should kill every single person in them besides the young girls which you take as sex slaves. Why do we let these lunatics in left-wing spaces? Sure, you can make a "progressive" interpretation of these books if you erase enough words, but you can do the same with Mein Kampf. There's a reason why Marx and Lenin were so anti-religion, which modern postmodernist "communists" seem to have forgotten.

Peruvian court sentences former President Castillo to over 11 years in prison for rebellion

Quebec's new secularism bill targets daycare workers, prayer spaces and religious meals
The bill also invokes the notwithstanding clause pre-emptively, shielding it from challenges under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The legislation is the latest tabled by Legault's Coalition Avenir Québec government, which has been slumping in opinion polls ahead of next year's provincial election.

Mark Carney reaches deal with Alberta for oil pipeline opposed by First Nations
The premise of the agreement is to increase oil and gas exports while attempting to meet the federal government’s climate targets. Carney’s government will exempt a possible pipeline project from the existing coastal oil tanker moratorium and emissions cap. In exchange, Alberta must raise its industrial carbon pricing and invest in a multibillion-dollar carbon capture project. Critically, however, no company has expressed an interest in backing the project, which would probably face stiff opposition from the province of British Columbia and First Nations communities on the Pacific coast.

China won’t back Brazil rainforest fund, points to rich nations’ lack of support: reports
China has reportedly declined, for the time being, to make a financial contribution to Brazil’s flagship rainforest protection mechanism, arguing that developed nations should take the lead in global climate financing. The position, reported by Brazil’s newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, frustrated hopes in Brasília that the world’s second-largest economy would become a major early backer of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, or TFFF.

Marxist activists arrested in Azerbaijan: Accused of “propagating Communist Ideology”
According to the authorities, the activists operated as an “organized group”, holding regular meetings, renting an office, and even setting up a small studio to record Marxist agitation. Investigators claim that the office was rented “with the support and funding of another state.” During searches of premises linked to the group, police confiscated Soviet flags, Marxist literature, CDs, and other electronic equipment said to be aimed at “promoting communist ideology.”

RSF military push for Kordofan leaves Sudan at risk of partition
SAF soldiers are still able to repel RSF fighters in West Kordofan’s Babnusa, a major transport junction connecting several parts of the country. But continuing to hold the city will be difficult for the SAF, and if it does fall, then the RSF will likely press forward towards North Kordofan’s el-Obeid, and a vital gateway towards the capital Khartoum.

The UAE is buying the West's silence over its 'race war' in Sudan, says top general
Atta claimed that the UAE president had personally approved a strategic plan to rid Sudan of its African tribes. He told journalists that the “project” entails a massive programme of relocation and ethnic cleansing, with northern Sudanese people and Nubian tribes pushed into Egypt. The project, according to the general, also envisages the expulsion of southern Nuba tribes and others from South Kordofan and Blue Nile states to South Sudan.

>"I shouldn't be shamed for not living up to capitalist society's expectations of me, I should be allowed to be my authentic self without being criticized and I shouldn't have to change myself based on some arbitrary capitalist standard"
This seems to be the sentiment that dominates the minds of zoomers and most millennials that drives them towards the left whether we want to admit it or not. This is what makes a lot of younger people under 40 embrace anti-capitalist politics, question social norms that are the superstructure of modern capitalism, become anti-eugenics, embrace new identity groups, and so on. Look no further than Tumblr from the mid 2010s or TikTok today. My question is, why haven't any communist or socialist parties been able to gather these types of people up? The DSA's entire strategy is simply economistic "healthcare and unions" babble that they weaponize to push the Democrats further to the left. Yet we shouldn't forget that the millennial left (namely, the people who participated in the anti-war movement in the 2000s and Occupy in 2011-12) all folded into DSA by the end of the 2010s. So why can't the DSA bring in those frustrated zoomers from TikTok, the ones who make videos on queerness and unmasking autism and mental health and why nearly all romantic relationships are inherently predatory or whatever? Maybe if the people on that platform were in a political party they'd have actual pragmatic political goals.

- They're also considering cutting VAT on energy bills (which is the least efficient way of lowering bills you can imagine)
- The board of deputies asked Aston Villa for free footy tickets. In a worrying sign of rising antisemitism, Aston said nah.
- Labour is falling behind the Greens in the opinion polls as their strategy of copying Reform drives away their already-begrudging supporters without winning over any Reform voting reprobates. Nobody could have predicted this.

Are there any books defending the (for lack of a better word) "authoritarianism" of the USSR/DPRK and China?
A lot of the defenses of these countries I've seen from Marxists is to try and say they're not as authoritarian as we think or try and show how capitalist countries are equally or more authoritarian. But as someone who sees no problem with it is there any actual defense of the Communist Party having a strong influence?

Soviet and Chinese industrialization
Why do people use the industrialization and subsequent rise of the standard of living in Russia and China as proof of the success of socialism when neither countries were and are socialist. Socialism being defined as worker ownership of the means of production, as Marx defined, as opposed to state ownership and in the case of modern China with large parts of the economy privately owned. The success for these two countries is a testament to there size, abundance of resources and people. Germany was afraid of pre-revoultionary Russia and predicted by 1917 they would be no match for its growing might. China before the Second Sino-Japanese war was a lot more industrialized than people usually give it credit for, with most of its industrial base being destroyed by the war. And too give examples of two capitalist countries that being the United States and Germany. Both of them were able to surpass the United Kingdom due there larger access to resources and people. And not to mention the increased development of technology allowing industrializeing nations to catch up faster to their established piers. What allowed these countries to industrialize in the first place is a stable government and there ability to fight off foreign threats, which was not the case for Imperial Russia, Qing China and the ROC.

Apparently folks are still confused about the purpose of sex education. not on here necessarily but like in general
The first and most important component of sex ed is teaching children
a) How to recognize if an adult is sexually abusing you, and
b) What to do if an adult is sexually abusing you.
Comprehensive sex ed includes other topics, including discussion of what changes your body will go through in puberty and how to have safe sex, but those can and usually do come later.
Sex education needs to start as early as possible, because if kids don't start sex ed until age X, then pedophiles know they can more easily get away with abusing kids who are younger than X.
The people most likely to sexually abuse kids are their parents, which is why we need schools, not parents, to provide sex education.
You likely can't teach a lesson about sexual abuse to a 1-day-old baby, but you absolutely can teach a 5-year-old.
When you hear policymakers say "kindergarten is too young to get sex education," what they are really saying is that they want to rape kindergartners and not get caught.
Apparently folks are still confused about the purpose of sex education. not on here necessarily but like in general
The first and most important component of sex ed is teaching children
a) How to recognize if an adult is sexually abusing you, and
b) What to do if an adult is sexually abusing you.
Comprehensive sex ed includes other topics, including discussion of what changes your body will go through in puberty and how to have safe sex, but those can and usually do come later.

I find myself getting drawn into the antics of e-celebs and flavor-of-the-week social media drama without even fully realizing it, and by the time I realize what happened, I've already wasted a disproportionate amount of mental bandwidth on it. I know none of it matters in the grand scheme of things, I know that none of these people hold any significant amount of real-world cultural relevance. But I have so much trouble convincing my reptilian brain of that fact.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would very much like to hear them.

STG sets up roadblocks on the roads leading to Suwayda, pursuant to the ceasefire agreement.
Remaining tribals in Suwayda governorate launch a last-ditch attack on Suwayda city.
Tribals enter some of the city's northwest areas. They suffer heavy casualties and retreat from the city on the same day.
Straggler tribals launch a few attacks on Druze villages here and there, nothing significant.
Overall ceasefire holds up after that. STG prevents further entry of tribals and their numbers keep dwindling.
STG releases their report on the massacres of Alawites in March of this year. They say that they aren't directly responsible.
Saudi announces they will buy a bunch of property in Syria.
Israeli and Syrian officials meet in Paris. A second meeting in Baku was cancelled.
Accusations that the STG is doing a soft siege on Suwayda governorate and worsening the humanitarian situation.
Turkey/SNA starts threatening the SDF and launches a few attacks against them in Deir Hafer and Tishreen dam.

For the past 10 years, the entire crux of the Democratic Party has been "STOP TRUMP". The average American Democrat or liberal now bases their political views solely on how much they hate Trump, MAGAts, "manosphere" podcasters, so-called "alt-right pipelines", and everything in between. They have no real principles and it shows.
The right-wing, on the other hand, believes it is creating a new world; it's a much worse world, but that's how they want it. This has caused liberals to prop up the old, dying system as a way of preventing it from collapsing into something worse. Now, we're seeing liberals who claim to be "left-wing" embrace everything from free trade agreements (on the basis Trump's tariffs need to be stopped) to hyper-consumerism (on the basis that spending money on fashion and makeup and mindless consumer goods helps maintain your "individuality" against Trump-era conformity) to literal junk food (in order to own RFK and MAHA). It doesn't take much to realize all of these were once things American liberals strongly opposed 20-25 years ago; I'm old enough to remember when "clean girl" no-makeup aesthetics, eating organic, and herbal medicines were leftist things.
American liberals are now pushing a culture of hyper-rationality and order to counter the mass chaos that has erupted in America under Trump. They hate ICE agents terrorizing communities but they hate the sporadic community defence and protests that pop up to beat back ICE even more. They hate the Luigi Mangiones and the Tyler Robinsons and the prospects of an American Years of Lead. They want everything to be "rational" and based on slow progression and linear shit. But this way is outdated. Trying to find the "middle path" doesn't work when capitalism is in a state of collapse. For the liberal, everything that doesn't fit their paradigm is "mysticism" which always equates to "fascism" and needs to be stamped out before it manifests into authoritarianism. But how can this hyper-rationalism win?
The same is true of foreign policy. Liberals insist on American soft power, which arguably won't work in a world post-Gaza where American support for the most documented genocide in recent history was on full display. Trump, on the other hand, is an old school imperialist who simply seizes whatever he demands without caring.
So where does that leave the Democrats and their liberal base? What happens if Trump succumbs to kidney disease or whatever illness he has and dies in office from natural causes? The Dems spent 10 years obsessively attacking Trump and the "irrationality" of his supporters without providing anything worthy of their own. Realistically, what's going to happen?

Being in the intersection of socially-dominant groups, I suspect this affects the range of mainstream in-group politics, since there are plenty of people who want to conserve dominance, and since there is more social power there for propagandists to prey on.
Consider the White family Thanksgiving stereotype, with the racist unkkkle, the progressive/socialist niece, and everything in-between.

In minority groups, whether it be race, gender/sex, disability, certain jobs, religion, etc., is there more uniformity of politics? Or is it still common to see people spread out across progressive and reactionary positions?

And, to that effect, what are we even advocating for ? It appears to me that we have a bunch of different movements with many different goals that don't actually ressemble one another. Yet, despite this, very few of these movements have actual "models", it just seems like they want to reform or do a revolution for the sake of action rather than purpose.
Shouldn't we concentrate on clear objectives and goals before having all this talk about how marxism-leninism-maoism-gonzalo thought is superior to cybernetic-trotskism-councilism in achieving [we run into the problem here]?
>inb4 abolition of private property, abolition of capitalism, abolition of alienation
We can't actually base our objectives around these vagues goals though, or at least not at the current time and at the forefront. Abolition of private property doesn't mean anything if there's no framework to offer an alternative or to replace it. Marx laid us many goals but, given that he didn't specify what or how, shouldn't it be up to us to conceptualize the type of system which we want in accordance with the relevant theories he proposed.
Apart from small intellectuals scattered everywhere (Cockshott, Schweickart etc), there seems to be an evident lack of clear model that actually adresses the critique of marx's ambitions and dismisses its apparent utopianism.
What even is the endgoal that we want ?
The biggest rebutal I see in the eyes of the average person to "socialism" and "communism" is that it's utopic, that it relies on bad assumptions, that it doesn't work in reality etc. In essence, that we're advocating for something that can't be and that we have no alternative to capitalism.And, to that effect, what are we even advocating for ?

It's becoming increasingly clear that the majority of proles in Europe and North America are being brainwashed by their phones into believing immigration is the biggest issue in their countries. I have largely ignored this issue, as I don't really think it matters but then, last night, there was a lumpen riot in Dublin against an IPAS centre in which a foreign national who had been denied asylum and was told to "self-deport" had apparantly raped a 10 year old girl who was under state care. I usually don't believe a lot of the lies told about "migrants" online but this case makes me feel particularly uncomfortable.
It was a clear failure from the neoliberal Irish government and it's institutions that allowed something like this to happen. Why wasn't this man deported immediately after being denied asylum? Too expensive, apparently. Why was this man allowed to be in a situation where he could sexually abuse a child? Why is this man in my country in the first place? Ofc, the Free State institutions are keeping silent on it, pissing off people even more.
So, how do leftists feel about immigration and the current asylum process? Obviously, I understand this wouldn't be an issue if western corps weren't raping the third world but I also think there is a discussion to be had. Are open borders in the current world really working? Would they work post-capitalism? How do you feel about immigration, positively or negatively?
What do we do about immigration?

Personally i really like Pannekoek and also syndicalism although I think both systems can become burecratic and possibly disconnected forming a new classes (such as how after the first revolunary generation lost power in the USSR the vanguard stopped working for the proletriat and formed new methods of exploitation).
Anarcho-syndicalism? Council Communism?
What do we think of Anarcho-Synndicaliam, Council Communism, and Anarcho-Communism, basically ideologies in which the proletriat immediately seizes production without seizing the state apparatus.Personally i really like Pannekoek and also syndicalism although I think both systems can become burecratic and possibly disconnected forming a new classes (such as how after the first revolunary generation lost power in the USSR the vanguard stopped working for the proletriat and formed new methods of exploitation).

Why did the British colonial system in India formalize and exploit an indigenous social system that posits a fundamental moral inequality between groups of people?
Would it have been better that the British impose the imperialist European values of universal human dignity and rights on their colonial subjects?

>The prominent linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky called it a “most valuable experience” to have maintained “regular contact” with Jeffrey Epstein, who by then had long been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to emails released earlier in November by US lawmakers.
>Such comments from Chomsky, or attributed to him, suggest his association with Epstein – who officials concluded killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges – went deeper than the occasional political and academic discussions the former had previously claimed to have with the latter.
>Chomsky, 96, had also reportedly acknowledged receiving about $270,000 from an account linked to Epstein while sorting the disbursement of common funds relating to the first of his two marriages, though the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor has insisted not “one penny” came directly from the infamous financier.
>The emails disclosed on 12 November by the Republican members of the US House oversight committee generally detailed the correspondence Epstein had with political, academic and business luminaries, including the Bill Clinton White House’s treasury secretary Larry Summers and Steve Bannon, the longtime ally of Donald Trump. Further, they reveal Epstein and Chomsky were close enough to discuss musical interests and even potential vacations.
>Perhaps the most telling of the Chomsky-related documents in question was a letter of support for Epstein attributed to Chomsky with the salutation “to whom it may concern”. It is not dated, but it contains a typed signature with Chomsky’s name and citing his position as a University of Arizona laureate professor, a role he began in 2017, as first reported by the Massachusetts news outlet WBUR.

A couple of things:
1. How could any principled anarchist be friends with a billionaire?
2. I get that Chomsky radicalized a lot of American Gen Xers and Millennials. Anarchists in the 90s and 2000s looked up to him as a god-man of sorts. He wrote many books that have become classics among the Gen X and Millennial American left. But how will this stain his reputation? Will he be cancelled? His books burned or thrown in the trash?
3. Is this a case of "live long enough to be the villain" or was Chomsky always sus?
4. How do you think Michael Parenti and Slavoj Zizek are taking this news?
Chomsky-Epstein connection

The head of the main opposition PAIGC party, Domingos Simoes Pereira, has also been arrested, Haque said. “As well, we’ve just heard that the military is trying to cut off the Internet. There’s a curfew in place.” He added that the army officer leading the coup, Denis N’Canha, served as the head of the presidential guard. “The man supposed to protect the president himself has put the president under arrest,” Haque said.

Syrian security forces use gunfire to disperse rival protests in Latakia
Witnesses said hundreds of Alawite protesters had gathered to demand a federal political system in Syria and the release of men they say were unjustly detained by the country's new authorities. Supporters of the government then gathered and began shouting insults at the Alawites. While members of Syrian minorities have called for federalism in Syria, the idea has little support among the Sunni majority.

Israel lays siege to occupied West Bank’s Tubas, displaces tens of families
Troops then began house-to-house searches in the city of Tubas as well as the four nearby towns, including Tammun and Aqqaba, as the army announced a new military operation it claimed was targeting resistance fighters. Tubas Governor Ahmed Asaad dismissed that justification, telling Al Jazeera that the Israeli assault has nothing to do with security and everything to do with geography.

Jharkhand: 7 Months on, Ramgarh Underground Fire Keeps Burning, Threatens Lives & Land in Coal Belt
It has been seven months since an underground coal fire began burning beneath the forest of Bhuchungdih village in Jharkhand’s Ramgarh district, charring the ground and filling the air with smoke and heat. What started as a forest fire in April, due to debated causes, has now slipped below the surface, spreading to an illegal mining site and igniting underground coal deposits and soil cavities.

At least 36 dead as huge fire rips through Hong Kong housing estate
At least 36 people including a firefighter were killed and 279 are still missing after a ferocious blaze ravaged a housing estate in Tai Po yesterday, as scorching flames engulfed bamboo scaffolding and ripped through seven residential blocks. Some 29 people were hospitalised, with seven in a critical condition, a grim-looking Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu reported in an early morning conference at Prince of Wales Hospital in Sha Tin while distraught families, fearing the worst, awaited news in community halls overnight.

Myanmar’s military rulers grant a mass amnesty ahead of election
The provision, known as the incitement law, makes it a crime to spread comments that create public unrest or fear, or spread false news. Many political detainees have been held on a charge of incitement, widely used to arrest critics of the government or military and punishable by up to three years in prison.

Lammy plans to scrap jury trials for most slammed as 'assault on our rights'
The Justice Secretary has written to officials suggesting that only rape, murder and manslaughter cases might continue to be heard by juries as part of an overhaul of the court system, according to the Times. In a memo cited by the paper, Mr Lammy, who is also Deputy Prime Minister, said there was “no right” to jury trials in Britain and argued that limiting them would not compromise the rights of suspects.

Ah, look, look! [sniffs violently] This whole question of the hammer and the sickle—my God!—it is already a kind of ideological joke, eh? Because when we look at symbols, we think they are innocent little pictograms. But symbols—they are like those weird Slovenian pastries: they always hide something inside, something messy, something unexpected. [sniff]
And so let me propose—of course, in a totally irresponsible, speculative way—that the hammer and sickle is not merely a workers’ emblem, no! It is like a dialectical offspring, a strange symbolic synthesis, between the Christian cross and the Islamic crescent-and-star.
You see, in early Christianity—especially before it became this gigantic bureaucratic megachurch—there is this radical concern for the poor, the oppressed. You have this idea that the first shall be last, that the beggar is closer to truth than the emperor. And what is this if not the proto-Marxist suspicion that the ruling class is full of, eh, ideological nonsense? [sniffs]
And then, Islam—look, please, I say this with all respect and purely in symbolic terms—brings this martial decisiveness, this warrior energy. Not in the Hollywood sense of violence and terrorism, but in the sense of the angel with the flaming sword, the insistence that faith is inseparable from action. It is a kind of ethical militancy: do something, engage, submit not to oppression but to the absolute.
So what happens when you combine these? [sniff] You get the hammer and sickle: the Christian concern for the poor—the weak, the exploited—joined with the Islamic ethos of active struggle, of refusing to be passive. It is as if the cross and the crescent enter a Hegelian marriage: thesis, antithesis, and then—boom!—the proletarian symbol emerges as the bastard child.
And the beauty—eh, the obscenity!—is that Marxism tries to become a universal emancipatory project without the supernatural elements. It keeps the moral passion of early Christianity, the activist thrust of Islam, but throws out God like old cabbage from a Slovenian kitchen. [sniffs, gestures wildly]
So the hammer and sickle becomes this strange thing: a materialist Pentecost, a secular jihad, a revolution without heaven, formed from the leftovers of two great religious traditions, but now made edible for the modern worker.
And this, of course, is precisely why nobody wants to admit it! Because it reveals that even our most “atheist” symbols are haunted—haunted by the ghosts of religions they pretend to surpass. [sniff sniff]

With that being said, how do we realistically combat the mass grooming of people into nazism through imageboards? The sharty is becoming the new 8chan but with way more cultural influence on the wider internet and the rest of the population is filled with young children, we have already seen solomon (a mass shooter that was a black man yet he was also a white supremacist with sharty connections) commit a mass shooting. With that being said clearly a lot of these young men are isolated and angry, doxxing random literal WHOS because they are trans, or even doing raids that help the federal government because the site is influenced by glowies. They even raided our very booru 2 days ago, and ILLEGAL CONTENT was posted (this was done by foodist nazis not soyteens but still scary that it’s that prevalent with their raids).
And with the thought on raids we can see some of these young people are being groomed into actual pedophile nazi communities but the sharty staff and wiki are so up their asses that they can’t see they have ideological similarities with the nazi foodists and that’s why they surround them.
They have crushed /leftysoy/ and banned many leftists on their wiki including me, I think this is gonna evolve into something much worst if we don’t do anything.

Feels like most people seriously think communism boils down to educating people, lol. Even those who associate communism only with their idea of the party, who even came up with that? They are mixing up the role of the party with any random group that slaps "communist party" on their name. The party is basically the brain of the class, the class' political and economic expression of its program. It is not some random ideological point, it is an unavoidable necessity. No other economic form that emerges can replace the role of the party. Like there can be antagonism between the class' economic and political necessities but most people treat the party as if it's separate to the proletarian movement, imposing its will from outside, when it emerges from the class' own needs.

When Nikita Khrushchev took office after Stalin he went on a campaign of de-Stalinization where statues of Stalin were torn down and streets and cities named after him were renamed. Why didn’t Deng Xiaoping do the same with Mao Zedong? I’m not saying that Deng should have or shouldn’t have but I’m just wondering why. Because Mao is still celebrating in China and seen as a great figure who only made a few mistakes.
Why wasn’t there any type of De-Maoization?

Settler's Law - What Causes This?
I have recently noticed a tendency on here, X, reddit, and other places to call any anti-Amerikkkan a "Third-Worldist". According to these people there exists a secret genocidal anti-white conspiracy to destroy the west (huh sounds familiar now that I think about it). And apparently it is a particular tendency of Maoism that is leading the charge of this crusade. Has anyone actually seen these so-called "Third-Worldists" advocate for killing all white people and their children? If so they should certainly be taken care of! We can't have a group of evil child killing zealots who are over-attached to a particular identity running around our proud leftist image board defending these things for literally no reason! Infact I really think we should be banning anyone who opposes the USA or the west in general because it's possible that anyone criticizing Amerikkka could be a ScArY "Third-Worldist".But if indeed they don't exist, can someone kindly explain to me why Amerikkkan's seem to be so obssessed with calling everyone who point's out their benefitting from multiple historical and ongoing genocides one?

>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.
Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.
Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.

Yanis Varoufakis, the firebrand economist who rose to fame at the height of Greece’s debt drama, was not only egotistical but ultimately more interested in testing out his game theories on the nation than winning its battle to keep afloat.
So writes the former prime minister Alexis Tsipras in his newly released memoir, Ithaki, as the once radical leftwing leader, sparing no punches, seeks, 10 years later, to put the record straight.
“He was, in reality, more of a celebrity and less of an economist,” recalled the 51-year-old, who described handpicking the maverick as his finance minister because of his international reputation and “extremely attractive” skills as a public orator.
“I wanted an honourable agreement within the eurozone,” Tsipras wrote, “but we also didn’t hide the fact that we wanted radical change in Europe, that we wanted to stop the imposition of the economic absurdity of neoliberalism not only in Greece but from one end of the continent to the other.”
“I wanted to send the message of hard negotiation, but I underestimated the human factor. Very quickly, Varoufakis turned from being an asset into a negative protagonist. Not only could our potential allies not stand him, neither could his own colleagues.”
In a chronicle of events that has been quick to send ripples through Greece, Tsipras, who appears bent on staging a political comeback two years after renouncing the leadership of the Syriza party, said it was clear the Greek Australian academic had a personal agenda that included promoting his books.
Negotiations to stave off bankruptcy were “not just a way of achieving a better deal for the country. They were an experiment, an historic opportunity to prove the truth of his economic theories,” Tsipras wrote.
During rollercoaster talks that pitted the two men against Germany’s late economic tsar, Wolfgang Schauble and other fiscal hawks, Greece came perilously close to exiting the eurozone.
“Varoufakis had proved himself to be unsuitable for an agreement that required complex and delicate handling,” he claimed, adding he had begun to doubt his finance minister quite early on.
“He was the face of negotiation, the man who attracted publicity, who graced the covers of magazines the world over … he gave the impression he was enjoying his new role.”
When Varoufakis outlined a contingency plan that included establishing a parallel currency and distributing vouchers to pensioners – as a way of strong-arming creditors to meet Greek demands – Tsipras said he realised it was game over, and asked Varoufakis: “Are you serious?”
Ahead of the book’s long-awaited launch, the politician had declared it was time for his voice to be heard.
And in a tome that recounts the behind-the-scenes meeting that led to his controversial decision to form a coalition with a populist rightwinger, to the groundbreaking deal to end the long-running dispute over the then-called Macedonia’s name, he does not disappoint.
But it is a retelling of history that has been met with fury and stunned disbelief. And in the case of Varoufakis, who has since won international acclaim as a bestselling author, deafening silence.

Humanity is facing a similar situation, power in the hands of a few thousands, yet billions of people can't free themselves. So the question remains: how comes the minority rule over the majority?
David Hume attempted to wisely answer such question:
"Nothing is more surprising to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than to see the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and to observe the implicit submission with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.
When we enquire by what means this wonder is effected, we shall find, that as force is always on the side of the governed, the governors have nothing to support them but opinion. It is, therefore, on opinion only that government is founded."
As such, to change society masses to change opinion. It is, therefore, political education the most important task of the revolutionary.

Making them work night shifts is risky for them and we oppose it.” Protests against the move, will begin in a minor fashion from Monday and will culminate on November 26. “We had already planned a protest on the day but it will be much more intense due to the step taken today,” she added.

Macron set to present voluntary military service plan
The project, which stops short of conscription, is designed to funnel trained personnel into the active armed forces or the reserves. In recent years, politicians have sometimes floated military service as a way to discipline young people or create social cohesion. Now, the main motive is to beef up the armed forces to face off the threat posed by Russia.

One Battle After Another
Knowing the real history of American radical left-wing groups, this film is far too generous about their capabilities. In reality, they wouldn’t have killed any political figure higher than a superintendent, would likely have set off a bomb that killed a good portion of their members or been shot dead and arrested if they actually tried fighting against an armed resistance.

Iran, which has been at the forefront of fighting Zionism and global imperialism, may have to relocate millions of people from Tehran in the next few weeks as the capital city faces a massive water crisis. Tehran is running out of water and the only option the government has is to move its people. Iran may very well have to establish a new capital city closer to a water source. This means spending a ton of money the country doesn’t have.
But it doesn’t stop there. The West and the Zios are already taking advantage of this looming disaster. Once Iran is in a state of crisis the CIA will certainly fund a new colour revolution to overthrow the revolutionary Islamic government and replace it with a western puppet, most likely the ousted Shah’s son. The Zionist entity is mocking Iran and “offering” desalinization plants in exchange that the revolutionary government sell out the Palestinian people and recognize the Zionist settler-colony as “legitimate.” This is disgusting. So far, no one else is offering Iran any aid, not even China.
I fear for both the people of Iran and the state of global anti-imperialism because of this.

From the small Marxist communist circles I know, opposing USSR or the CCP is not anti-communist, but actually a principle of simply upholding workers first principles. I mean it's that simple - worshipping and being campist to some kind of state is not Marxist in the slightest.

I expected the left to provide some sort of safe harbour, but instead the hatred is even more intense? What are people like me supposed to do? Who can we turn to?

THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM
This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), 🤔? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Balochistan, East Turkestan/Uyghuristan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, and many others as shown in the Map of all the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I posted. Obviously, this Global USSR will have a Socialist Mode of Production (Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) and Dictatorship of the Proletariat (One-Party Marxist-Leninist-Maoist State). This Centrally Planned Socialist Economy is characterized by State ownership of all companies, a State Planning Agency, the outlawing of Stock Exchanges, and a massive Social Safety Net consisting of Free Housing, Free Healthcare, Free Education, a Job Guarantee, and a Universal Basic Income, along with a long-term effort to Automate the entire Economy (hence the need for Universal Basic Income) on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
The first great Superstructural transformation brought by the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was the final destruction of that great “Opiate of the Masses” that had been used by all the ruling Classes of every previous Mode of Production to neuter the oppressed Classes, Religion. This was done by sending the International Red Guards to bulldoze/burn down all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas worldwide and arrest all Priests/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis and force them to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they were re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (This also happened to all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists as well), ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
Another key aspect of this Superstructural transformation was seen in the dramatic transformation of Urban planning that was carried out by the Global USSR. This process was made easier by the aftermath of World War III (especially the Nuclear Exchange) and the subsequent World Maoist PPW that left most cities as smoldering ruins and thus in desperate need of rebuilding. The new “People’s cities” were built to be as efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-density as possible, with the entire population living in high-density Concrete Commie Bloc Apartment buildings, and all Suburban McMansions/“Single-Family Homes” bull-dozed and left to be reclaimed by nature (most had already been destroyed anyway). At the center of every major city is a single massive Skyscraper that contains all the administrative agencies of the various SSRs/ASSRs, including the local CPSU headquarters. Additionally, these cities have been designed to be as walkable as possible (this, combined with the Worldwide ban of all GMOs, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Preservatives, excessive Sodium, and Trans Fats, ended the Global Obesity epidemic that was already reduced significantly by the decades of Conventional and Nuclear Warfare), with all Automobile ownership outlawed, and most transportation carried out by Mass Rail Transit (ie. Subways, Streetcars, Bullet trains, etc.) powered by Electricity from exclusively renewable sources (ie. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, Geothermal, etc.), thus ending Global Warming (The Global Nuclear War already helped this, by thinning the World population and reducing temperatures with the mild fallout). All Rural populations employed in agriculture live in Collective Farms until this sector can be completely Automated and they can be moved to the Cities, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
Finally, the Superstructural changes that resulted from the necessary Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution included dramatic changes in the nature of Sexuality, Gender Roles, and Personal Expression. In order to flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, all Women are forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses and Makeup were banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing were banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. Interestingly, their has been a noticeable decline in Transgenders in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes are still Free and Legal to anyone who wants one. The nature of Sexuality has changed dramatically with the elimination of the Reactionary emphasis on Reproduction, considering that that are now Artificial wombs, in order to finally free women from the oppressive nature of child birth. Homosexuality is obviously completely Legal and totally accepted, with the caveat that the institution of Marriage (both Homosexual and Heterosexual) has been completely phased out as a relic of Reactionary culture in favor of much looser sexual relationships among consenting adults. Finally, all Drugs have been legalized for recreational purposes, in order to simultaneously end the discriminatory and classist nature of the Global War on Drugs waged by the Old Reactionary Bourgeois order, and unleash the creativity of the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World as they travel on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

"The most concrete link is his relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Epstein and Barak met numerous times between 2013 and 2017, with Barak visiting Epstein’s properties in Florida and New York approximately 30 times, including a 2014 private flight in Florida. Barak received $2.3 million from an Epstein-associated foundation between 2004 and 2006, and Epstein invested $1 million in a limited partnership established by Barak in 2015.
Another connection stems from Epstein’s ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father, Robert Maxwell, was a British media mogul alleged to have had links to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. Some sources, including former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe, have claimed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a “honey-trap” operation for Mossad to blackmail influential figures. A lawsuit by a woman identified as Jane Doe 200 alleged Epstein boasted of being a Mossad agent.
Epstein was also associated with the Wexner Foundation, which supports Jewish leadership and has ties to Israel. His financial backer, Leslie Wexner, was a member of the “Mega Group,” a collection of Jewish philanthropists, which some, like former NSA counterspy John Schindler, have speculated was linked to Israeli intelligence operations. Epstein reportedly invested in an Israeli startup, Reporty Homeland Security (later rebranded as Carbyne), connected to Israel’s defense industry, further fueling speculation."
Epstein = Israel, and Trump loves Israel
Epstein is connected to Israel, this is why Trump is covering it up. He doesn't want to risk the political fallout for Israel when people realize all of Epstein's clients were blackmailed and used as Israeli assets."The most concrete link is his relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Epstein and Barak met numerous times between 2013 and 2017, with Barak visiting Epstein’s properties in Florida and New York approximately 30 times, including a 2014 private flight in Florida. Barak received $2.3 million from an Epstein-associated foundation between 2004 and 2006, and Epstein invested $1 million in a limited partnership established by Barak in 2015.

Adventurism is based.
One hit wonder assassinations are better than nothing. No, we don't need more theory. Since 2020, most new "theory" has been AI assisted slop anyway. AI can write theory, but it cannot shoot porky. What you call adventurism is actually just a manifestation of your body count chauvinism. Until the kill count gets high enough to be a second 9/11, you will dismiss it as "counter productive adventurism" even if it results in the destruction of our enemies and the intimidation of reactionaries.

>The news brought a “sense of dread,” says Isenberg. Her first thought was strong and immediate: I’m not going to have a baby. After a friend had described having an abortion, Isenberg’s own mindset had started to shift. She’d begun to think of herself as pro-choice. It wouldn’t be the end of the world, she thought, if I had an abortion. This is something I’m allowed to do.
>It may seem strange that Isenberg would reach out to Turner in this moment. But she was feeling stressed, sick, and confused and wanted to have a backup plan just in case she didn’t go through with the abortion. She knew Turner—who’d also recently left PAAU but whose politics were growing more, not less, conservative—would try to talk her out of it, but she’d also recently seen Turner using her social media platforms to raise money for pregnant women and mothers in need. Isenberg had less than $100 in her bank account. If she changed her mind, she would be in dire need of financial help.
>“I was also thinking, This is Kristin Turner, the girl I was friends with,” remembers Isenberg. “I wasn’t thinking, She is acting as a vessel for people who are much more powerful than her.”
>Turner put Isenberg in touch with an organization that gave money to women with “crisis pregnancies.” She also asked for Isenberg’s address so she could send her a care package and promised a McDonald’s breakfast if Isenberg agreed to get her ultrasound at a crisis pregnancy center instead of the Charlotte Planned Parenthood (Isenberg declined the latter).
>Isenberg expected Turner and members of PAAU to offer her “counseling” and a lecture on the psychological impacts of abortion and how carrying out a pregnancy is a “nonviolent choice.” She assumed they’d ask their Instagram followers to “say a prayer for my friend who’s chosen the heartbreak of abortion,” as she’d once posted for others. But she believed that in the end, they’d respect her right to choose her own care. She thought that after she’d ignored Turner at her Planned Parenthood ultrasound, Turner would leave her alone.
>Her boyfriend, who’d been supportive since Isenberg had told him she was pregnant, drove them back to his house that day. Isenberg changed into comfortable clothes, hoping to take a nap or watch TV. A few hours later, at around 4 p.m., Turner texted again. She was at a nearby hotel with a young woman named Lydia Gibson.
>Over coffee, the women chatted for more than an hour before Turner mentioned that Isenberg’s boyfriend seemed like a nice guy. Didn’t she want to marry him and have his baby? Maybe in the future, responded Isenberg, but not yet, not now. And just like that, Turner’s tone changed. She started questioning whether Isenberg’s boyfriend was abusing Isenberg and wondering if he was forcing her to have an abortion.
>Isenberg was done. She asked for an immediate ride back to her boyfriend’s house. Turner refused, saying that Isenberg was in an “unsafe situation” and they didn’t feel comfortable taking her there. “She was putting increasing pressure on me,” recalls Isenberg. “And it’s like the frog in the boiling pot, you know? It gets to the point where you realize you’ve been cooking the whole fucking time, and it’s like, ‘I need to get out of this situation.’”
>Isenberg began the long walk back. She only made it a few blocks before an Emergency Medical Services vehicle stopped her.
>The driver said they’d received a call from someone who was concerned her friend was going to hurt herself. They were looking for a petite white girl wearing a brown t-shirt, which Isenberg was, walking by herself down the street. She found herself explaining the spiraling situation—that she was thinking of having an abortion and her former friends were upset about it. The EMTs believed her and called a police officer to drive Isenberg home.
>While her boyfriend cooked dinner, Isenberg went outside to make a phone call. As she paced across the lawn in her bare feet, wearing boxers, a t-shirt and no bra, blinding headlights approached. For a second, she thought it was Turner and Gibson again, but it was a different cop who stepped out of that car. “We have a warrant saying you are a danger to yourself and others,” Isenberg remembers the officer saying. “We’ve got to take you into custody, and they’re wanting to hold you for 72 hours in the psych ward at the hospital.” They were going to have her involuntarily committed.
>Isenberg and her boyfriend tried to explain and, in shock, she took a few steps back. “Don’t turn away from me, girl, because I’ll cuff you,” she says the officer warned. I have to stop moving and stop crying or else I’m not going to make it out of this in one piece, thought Isenberg. As she was put into the back of a squad car, she asked her boyfriend to bring her a pair of shoes.
>At the hospital, Isenberg tried to pull herself together. Her fate seemed to hinge on her credibility, but it was hard to look credible when two huge cops were marching her through the ER. In a triage room, nurses checked Isenberg’s vitals and gave her a gown. She repeated her story to every person she met, hoping someone would recognize she wasn’t supposed to be there.
>Isenberg would later learn that Lydia Gibson, in a sworn affidavit to the Gaston County magistrate, said that Isenberg “was struggling” and had taken “a bunch of pills trying to kill herself.” Gibson went further, asserting that Isenberg had “been raped before” and was “in the worst mental place of her life.” Gibson said that Isenberg’s “personality” was “not aligned with her values.” Gibson said she had driven to North Carolina “out of concern for the patient regarding her health care decisions.” (In a Reddit post from early 2025, Gibson claimed that she went to the magistrate because Isenberg had recently been to rehab and expressed “suicidal ideations” during their conversation. “I do not regret trying to intervene, to save her and her baby, and to get her the help she needed,” wrote Gibson. Cosmopolitan reached out to Gibson, who declined to comment. Isenberg says she has never experienced suicidal thoughts and certainly never expressed any to Gibson that day.)

American woman describes being arrested for abortion
>By the spring of 2024, a newly sober Isenberg felt like she could finally stop performing all the time and just be herself, a complex human being who was still learning. She planned to spend the summer living with her parents while saving up money. In the fall, she would become the first person in her family to attend a four-year college. Then she got pregnant.>The news brought a “sense of dread,” says Isenberg. Her first thought was strong and immediate: I’m not going to have a baby.

US warns civilian flights as military activity around Venezuela increases
American Airlines said on Friday that it stopped overflying Venezuela in October. Delta Air Lines and United Airlines did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The airspace warning comes as Washington deployed its most advanced aircraft carrier strike group, navy warships with thousands of troops, as well as F-35 stealth aircraft to the region amid what it claims is a military operation against Latin American drug trafficking cartels.

Jair Bolsonaro arrested after tampering with ankle tag ‘out of curiosity’
In a video released by the supreme court, Bolsonaro – who was recently sentenced to 27 years in prison for masterminding a military coup – can be heard admitting to a security official that he had used a soldering iron to tamper with the black tag. The video showed the device badly damaged and burned on both sides, but still on his ankle.

Netanyahu says Rubio assured him Saudi Arabia will not receive F-35s on par with Israel
“Regarding the F-35, I had a long conversation with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who reiterated his commitment that the United States will continue to preserve Israel’s qualitative military edge in everything related to supplying weapons and military systems to countries in the Middle East,” Netanyahu said in a Hebrew-language interview widely circulated on X.

The trial of Daniela Klette, a former alleged member of the Red Army Faction (RAF), took an unexpected turn when the Verden court accepted the prosecution’s request to drop five charges due to a lack of reliable testimony after decades. This decision could bring forward the end of the trial to spring 2026, whereas hearings were initially scheduled to continue until the fall of that year.

End of fossil fuel era inches closer as Cop30 deal agreed after bitter standoff
Developing countries achieved part of their goal at the global talks, which was a tripling of the financial support available from rich countries to help them adapt to the impacts of the climate crisis. They should receive $120bn (£92bn) a year for adaptation, from the $300bn developed countries pledged to them last year, but not until 2035, instead of the 2030 deadline they were demanding. Many had also hoped the increase would be on top of the $300bn.

I am far right, but I think discourse with the far left is (atleast anonymously) a good idea. Now, our Goals are in the end of the day opposite to one another, due to Metaphysical Priors, but I think we can come to some common understanding or certain issues. Specifically, the topic of Immigration. Why does the left support the Bourzoua Practise of Letting in Millions upon Millions of low wage workers/ welfare parasites or brain drain for the intrest of Capitalist Elites? Capitalists are clearly the one supporting and pushing this, in the general ideological basis of neoliberalism. Even so called "fascists" as called by the left like Trump and Musk are in favour of so called "Elite Human Capital" immigration, taking jobs from the White Working Class. Frankly there is no rational reason for the left to support this, except from an irrational antiwhite hatred. If the left wants any political future, they should support remigration.

How do we fix this beyond fucked up state?
The LDS church runs everything here. Nearly every single little detail of the state’s culture is dictated by Mormonism. Mormon temples are the largest buildings in every city and town. Mormon bookstores are more numerous than most other stores, and old school soda shops are more numerous than cafes (Mormons prohibit coffee and tea but allow caffeinated soda for some reason). Multiple buildings, streets, and businesses are named after Mormon things (e.g. “Cumorrah Avenue”). Multi-level marketing companies are everywhere and sponsor things like stadiums (MLM companies are littered with Mormon moms).
The LDS church is basically run like a massive corporation. They are very good at missionizing and making new converts, plus Mormons tend to get married young and have bucketloads of kids. The average Mormon family has between 4-7 children. The point is, the LDS church is highly reactionary and rules over Utah with an iron fist, yet there is almost no internal resistance to it. “Utah” basically is the LDS church. And that’s not even mentioning the entire settler-colonial history of the church either, the mass slaughter of the indigenous that Mormons participated in to create the state of Utah and such.
With that said, how do we deal with this state’s politics if we are socialists living in it? There’s no way someone like AOC or Mamdani or any DSA candidate could ever win here. If there was ever a socialist candidate, they’d either have to ensure the Utah public that they’re a “good Mormon” (which would mean throwing away their principles and participating in a reactionary, settler-colonial theology) or seek to dismantle Utah culture outright by going against the grip of the LDS church, which would be political suicide.
I’m sorry, but I wish this fucking state didn’t exist. Trying to organize anything leftist here feels like a lost cause.

Of course there might be people who say they are against capitalism yet not support the movement but they should be killed as well, and if they say they support the movement but don't follow the rules of the movement they should be killed too. Seems to me that cheka had it right all along. Hundreads of years wasted on dialectics and philosophy nonsense.
>BUT HOW DO WE FIGHT AGAINST NUKES?
Just start the rebellion by taking over the nuke sites first and take control. Get the nuclear briefcases and shit first. Prioritize taking over the nuclear sites of a country with nukes in one coordinated go by super special trained bodies of armed men.
Who's with me?
Am I not seeing the obvious solution?
Hundreads of years of theory all seem like just useless distractions, if we want to end the capitalist mode of production we simply have to kill everyone who supports it regardless of class by growing an army that's big and strong enough to take them on. Just us versus them, if you're not with us you're against us. Isn't this literally just what has to be done?Of course there might be people who say they are against capitalism yet not support the movement but they should be killed as well, and if they say they support the movement but don't follow the rules of the movement they should be killed too.

Will immigration crackdowns in the west benefit revolutionary states in the Global South?
The crackdown on immigration in the west has the potential to be a good thing for revolutionary and anti-imperialist states, because it will prevent both brain drain and loss of labor forces. The downside is that these countries won't be able to expel the reactionary elements that would otherwise go to the west, especially the US.

Anyway the USSR is the loser and ML failed, Dengism won, when the realpolitik geopolitics and all the blablabla is over and China has won the world it will lead towards full automation.
And you only say full automation is impossible because you misinterpret it, you're like those conservative crackers that say communism isnt possible or its utopian, well too bad you're gonna get fucked in the ass one way or another, sucks for you you wont get to live to see that I'm right.
The next mode of production? It will not be socialist or communist.
Socialism and communism are not modes of production, they're social orders. The mode of production is capitalism and the next mode of production will be full automation in the transition from semi-automation by the fourth industrial revolution. The feuds and the slave owners and the previous modes of production never did the change consciously and neither did the bourgeois when they brought capitalism, they simply developed as much as they could until they changed, they were not a 200 year movement of trying to consciously enact change, think social darwinism.Anyway the USSR is the loser and ML failed, Dengism won, when the realpolitik geopolitics and all the blablabla is over and China has won the world it will lead towards full automation.

<the industrial workers cannot accomplish their epoch-making mission of emancipating mankind from the yoke of capital and from wars if they confine themselves to their narrow craft, or trade interests, and smugly restrict themselves to attaining an improvement in their own conditions, which may sometimes be tolerable in the petty-bourgeois sense. This is exactly what happens to the “labour aristocracy” of many advanced countries, who constitute the core of the so-called socialist parties of the Second International; they are actually the bitter enemies and betrayers of socialism, petty-bourgeois chauvinists and agents of the bourgeoisie within the working-class movement.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/jun/x01.htm
<To tell the workers in the handful of rich countries where life is easier, thanks to imperialist pillage, that they must be afraid of 'too great' impoverishment, is counter-revolutionary. It is the reverse that they should be told. The labour aristocracy that is afraid of sacrifices, afraid of 'too great' impoverishment during the revolutionary struggle, cannot belong to the Party. Otherwise, the dictatorship is impossible, especially in West-European countries.

Third-worldism scroll project
We need Third-Worldist scroll, like the Deng Scroll. I have already found some Lenin quotes which explicitly debunk imperialist apologists when they say things like, "Third-Worldism isn't Communism," or "Making imperialists' lives materially worse isn't Communism." This project could very well include citations from all communists, including Marx, Engels, Mao, Deng, etc.<the industrial workers cannot accomplish their epoch-making mission of emancipating mankind from the yoke of capital and from wars if they confine themselves to their narrow craft, or trade interests, and smugly restrict themselves to attaining an improvement in their own conditions, which may sometimes be tolerable in the petty-bourgeois sense. This is exactly what happens to the “labour aristocracy” of many advanced countries, who constitute the core of the so-called socialist parties of the Second International; they are actually the bitter enemies and betrayers of socialism, petty-bourgeois chauvinists and agents of the bourgeoisie within the working-class movement.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/jun/x01.htm
<To tell the workers in the handful of rich countries where life is easier, thanks to imperialist pillage, that they must be afraid of 'too great' impoverishment, is counter-revolutionary. It is the reverse that they should be told. The labour aristocracy that is afraid of sacrifices, afraid of 'too great' impoverishment during the revolutionary struggle, cannot belong to the Party. Otherwise, the dictatorship is impossible, especially in West-European countries.

BBC News has confirmed the identities of 10 members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club working in Gaza for UG Solutions - a private contractor providing security at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, where hundreds of civilians seeking food have been killed in scenes of chaos and gunfire.
We can reveal that seven members of the gang are in senior positions overseeing sites at the controversial aid operation backed by Israel and US President Donald Trump.
UG Solutions (UGS) defended its employees' qualifications for the job, saying it does not screen people out for "personal hobbies or affiliations unrelated to job performance".
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said it has "a zero-tolerance policy for any hateful, discriminatory biases or conduct".
Infidels MC was set up by US military veterans of the Iraq war in 2006 and members see themselves as modern Crusaders, using the Crusader cross as their symbol - a reference to the medieval Christians who fought Muslims for control of Jerusalem.
The gang is currently hosting anti-Muslim hate speech on its Facebook page and has previously held a pig roast "in defiance of" the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
"Putting the Infidels biker club in charge of delivering humanitarian aid in Gaza is like putting the KKK in charge of delivering humanitarian aid in Sudan. It makes no sense whatsoever," said Edward Ahmed Mitchell, deputy director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a leading Muslim civil rights organisation in the US.
"It's bound to lead to violence, and that's exactly what we've seen happen in Gaza."
The gang's leader, Johnny "Taz" Mulford, is a former sergeant in the US Army who was punished for conspiracy to commit bribery, theft and making false statements to military authorities. From May to August, he was "country team leader" running UG Solutions' contract in Gaza.
We emailed Infidels MC for comment. In response, Mr Mulford instructed fellow leaders of the biker gang not to reply but included the BBC when he clicked "reply all" - inadvertently disclosing email addresses and names of fellow Infidels MC members, some of whom were working in Gaza.
By matching up names with public information about Infidels MC's leadership, and evidence from UG Solutions insiders who worked with them, we have identified 10 members of Infidels MC who Mr Mulford recruited to work with him in Gaza.
In addition to Mr Mulford, we have identified three leading members of Infidels MC who also have senior roles at UGS's Gaza operation:
Larry "J-Rod" Jarrett, who has been publicly named as the Infidels MC vice-president, and is in charge of logistics
The gang's national treasurer, Bill "Saint" Siebe, who leads the security team for one of GHF's four "safe distribution sites"
One of the gang's founding members, Richard "A-Tracker" Lofton, a team leader at another distribution site
Confidential documents, open-source information and former UGS contractors have enabled us to confirm the identities of a further six Infidels bikers hired to work in Gaza. Three of them are leaders or deputy leaders of the firm's armed security teams.
Mr Jarrett, Mr Siebe and Mr Lofton did not respond to requests for comment.
UGS told the BBC it conducts comprehensive background checks and only deploys vetted individuals. However, news reports indicate Mr Jarrett was arrested two years ago in the US for drunk driving and has a previous charge of driving under the influence from about a decade earlier. It is not known whether either case resulted in a conviction.
The founder and chief executive of UG Solutions, Jameson Govoni, was arrested earlier this year in North Carolina for his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run incident and for fleeing from police to evade arrest, according to court documents. Mr Govoni, who is based in the US and is not a member of Infidels MC, declined to comment.
Until now Mr Mulford was the only UG Solutions contractor to have been identified as a member of the Infidels. The BBC's investigation reveals how widespread his hiring of members of the biker gang has been, notably to better-paid jobs leading the UGS armed security teams.
Social media posts show that in May, just two weeks before travelling to Gaza, Mr Mulford sought to recruit US military veterans who follow him on Facebook, inviting anyone who "can still shoot, move and communicate" to apply.
In total, at least 40 of about 320 people hired to work for UG Solutions in Gaza were recruited from Infidels MC, according to an estimate by a former contractor.
UG Solutions is paying each contractor $980 (£720) per day including expenses, rising to $1,580 (£1,160) per day for team leaders at GHF's "safe distribution sites", documents seen by the BBC show.
One leader of a team in Gaza overseeing site security, Josh Miller, posted a photo of a group of contractors in Gaza with a banner reading "Make Gaza Great Again".
The banner advertises the logo of a company he owns which sells T-shirts and other clothing, including one which has the slogan "embrace violence" and another which says: "Surf all day, rockets all night. Gaza summer 25."
His company also posted a video online showing scenes of gun violence and advocating the shooting of criminals, with the caption: "Remember, always shoot until they're no longer a threat!"
Mr Miller has the word "Crusader" tattooed across his fingers and "1095" on his thumbs. This is the year when the leader of the Catholic church, Pope Urban II, launched the first crusade, attacking Muslims as a "vile race". Mr Miller did not respond to requests for comment.
A post on the Infidels MC Facebook page selling "1095" hats says it signifies the start of the Crusades, "a military campaign by western European forces to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim control". The "Holy Land" refers to the area mostly covered by modern-day Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Johnny Mulford, who in addition to leading the gang is listed as the registered agent of a Florida company called Infidels MC, has the date 1095 tattooed across his chest. He has a Crusader cross tattooed on his right forearm and another on his left upper arm along with the word "Infidels".
"When you see anti-Muslim bigots today celebrating 1095, celebrating the Crusades, they are celebrating the wholesale massacre of Muslims - the erasure of Muslims and Jews from the holy city of Jerusalem," said Mr Mitchell from the US Muslim civil rights organisation CAIR.
He said the gang had the hallmarks of anti-Muslim hate groups which for decades have used the name "Infidels".
Anti-Islamic views expressed by the gang include a flyer for the pig roast during Ramadan, which the BBC found on an archived web page. It says: "In defiance of the Islamic holiday of Ramadan… we invite you to attend the Infidels MC Colorado Springs Chapter open bike party & pig roast."
The flyer also shows a woman wearing a burka that has been torn off from the neck down, exposing her chest.
The Infidels MC Facebook page has hosted clearly Islamophobic discussions. In 2020 the club shared a link to a false, satirical article claiming four US Democratic politicians, two of them Muslim, wanted the Bible to be deemed hate speech.
Comments from members of the Facebook group included: "Filling my magazine to the max. Would not be the first time we were at odds with muslims"; "Deport these pathetic skanks to a pathetic third world crap hole where they won't be offended by the Holy Bible"; and a comment dismissing "them and their Mohammad" with an expletive.
As of Wednesday, the comments remain on the Infidels MC Facebook page.
The Infidels MC website also used to show the skull logo of the violent Marvel comic book character Punisher, a symbol appropriated by white supremacist groups, inscribed with "kafir" in Arabic script - which translates as "unbeliever" (or "infidel").
Scenes of chaos and danger have been common at the aid distribution sites in Gaza since they opened at the end of May. Up to 2 September, 1,135 children, women and men were killed near GHF sites while seeking food, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
The UN has said most of the killings appear to have been carried out by Israeli security forces. Incidents where civilians were harmed while seeking aid are "under review by the competent authorities in the IDF", the Israeli military said.
UGS has denied allegations that its security contractors also fired on civilians and that it put people seeking food in danger due to incompetent leadership. However, the company has admitted that warning shots have been used to disperse crowds.
In a statement, UG Solutions, based in North Carolina, said Johnny Mulford is a "trusted and respected figure" with more than 30 years' experience supporting the US and its allies globally. "We stand by his reputation, record, and his contributions to the success of complex missions," the company said.
"We do not screen for personal hobbies or affiliations unrelated to job performance or security standards. Every team member undergoes comprehensive background checks, and only qualified, vetted individuals are deployed on UG Solutions operations," UGS said.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said it relies on "people from all backgrounds" to provide aid in Gaza and to build trust with Gazans.
"The team providing aid at the Foundation's sites is diverse - and it is successful for that reason," the GHF said.

Mercenaries are working for the privately-owned Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
The firm guarding sites where aid is distributed in Gaza has been using members of a US biker gang with a history of hostility to Islam to run its armed security, a BBC investigation has found.BBC News has confirmed the identities of 10 members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club working in Gaza for UG Solutions - a private contractor providing security at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, where hundreds of civilians seeking food have been killed in scenes of chaos and gunfire.

Several nations and environmental groups on Friday slammed proposals in the final stages of this year’s U.N. climate talks for failing to explicitly mention the cause of global warming — the burning of fuels such as oil, gas and coal — with one negotiator warning the talks are on “the verge of collapse.” Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez, a top negotiator for Panama, said the decades-long United Nations process risks “becoming a clown show” for the omission.

Nationwide strikes called in Italy, Belgium and Portugal as social anger erupts across Europe
In Belgium, a nationwide rail and mass transit strike is called for November 24, a nationwide strike of the public sector the day after, and finally a general strike on the 26th. They are called against moves by the right-wing government led by Bart De Wever’s New Flemish Alliance (NVA) to slash pensions, end indexing of wages on inflation and slash benefits including unemployment insurance.

Labor to rule out controversial ‘national interest’ exemption for coal and gas if Greens back nature laws
Labor would prevent a contentious “national interest” exemption being used to approve coal and gas projects if the Greens agreed to support its nature laws, Guardian Australia can reveal. The offer follows a groundswell of criticism about the discretionary power, including from the author of the review that inspired the new laws, Graeme Samuel, and the former treasury secretary Ken Henry.

Nations and environmental groups slam proposals at UN climate talks, calling them too weakSeveral nations and environmental groups on Friday slammed proposals in the final stages of this year’s U.N. climate talks for failing to explicitly mention the cause of global warming — the burning of fuels such as oil, gas and coal — with one negotiator warning the talks are on “the verge of collapse.” Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez, a top negotiator for Panama, said the decades-long United Nations process risks “becoming a clown show” for the omission.

In Belgium, a nationwide rail and mass transit strike is called for November 24, a nationwide strike of the public sector the day after, and finally a general strike on the 26th. They are called against moves by the right-wing government led by Bart De Wever’s New Flemish Alliance (NVA) to slash pensions, end indexing of wages on inflation and slash benefits including unemployment insurance.

Why is leftypol not throwing massive support behind Mamdani?
No one believes he’s an actual socialist, however his victory will be the most important victory of the American left of the past 90 years. Why? Because it shows the Zionist Lobby has NO POWER compared to the power of the MASSES OF PEOPLE and we can defeat the satanic Zionist entity not with a violent revolution but simply with voting. Nobody believes Mamdani is a perfect candidate but that’s not the point.
So why aren’t we backing him en masse? His inevitable win will be the biggest blow to US-Zio imperialism in modern history.

Porky has always opposed 100% unemployment. Pic and vid related.
100 percent employment LE BAD
one of the biggest things they teach in bourgeois economics is that "actually 100% employment is BAD! because it means people can't quit their jobs if they want to and the supply of labor in the labor market will be too low!" I see it dropped casually like it's just a matter-of-fact by people, especially "influencers" who aren't even bourgeois or economists because it's repeated so often. I hate this myth so fucking much for so many reasons, but it's obviously functioning as an ideological justification for the reserve army of labor whether the people repeating it realize that or not (they usually don't even know what the reserve army of labor is). People quit their jobs because their wages are too low, instead of getting organized, because getting organized is harder than quitting and begging another porky for a job. Then when they're begging porky for another job, which can take literally months, they are getting application after application rejected for no good reason, and finally they get desperate and accept a job that is as bad or even worse than their previous job. Most people desire stable employment and a living wage and only quit their job because their wage is shit. So saying or implying that having an unemployment rate of 5-10% is "good" because "people can quit their jobs due to high mobility in the labor market!" functions to justify this state of affairs.Porky has always opposed 100% unemployment.

Who does /leftypol/ really support? Ru supporters typically say that Ukraine is a western lapdog, but Congress has always been hesitant to support them at times. Most of their work they did themselves with the uyghest contribution NATO gave being training. Russia is importing Iranian drones, mercenaries and North Korean artillery. Theu came out with one promising developmemt though in that they developed the first nuclear-powered ICBM (the Burevestnik).

Israel fears KARA BOĞA (TÜRKIYE)
Do you think that a Turkish-backed Syria could win against Israel? If not, what kind of damage are we talking? Erdoğan is trying to rebuild the Ottoman empire. They already fought the US-armed and trained Kurdish forces in Iraq and Syria, so they're arguably better trained than Israel, because Israel only messes with countries that have little to no support and thus limited training, especially against a modern army. Iran is the closest match, but even they aren't nearly as developed. Egypt and Saudi Arabia would remain neutral, Russia might just respond diplomatically. Turkey DOES have an air force – they're a NATO state. Turkey has mobile air defenses, although not many of them. Turkey has more tanks than Israel. They also have a bigger navy than Israel. They're literally a NATO state, so they have a NATO military, NATO doctrine, NATO training, not to mention diplomacy. Not only that, but due to the Gaza war, many Israelis are leaving the country, generation z Israelis oppose fighting anyway, Orthodox IDF bans were recently lifted and there were protests on the street, Israel is already stretched thin between Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon, plus financial offsets from the Gaza War amidst international condemnation. While America loves Israel, it's still possible the US might sit out on this one. Turkey has a bigger GDP than Israel and are more efficient economically (they manufacture almost everything domestically, including their own cars, steel, textiles, electronics, weapons). Plus Turkey is planning on taking over the T4 air base in Syria right along Israel's border and make Al-Saara's Syria a protectorate).

In the United States, they have been picked up on by some digital media outlets and commentators from the Trumpian MAGA movement — such as Steve Bannon and Alex Jones, both known for spreading misinformation — to denounce Mexico’s supposed transformation into a “narco-terrorist state.” In a context where the United States has declared war precisely on “narco-terrorism” in Latin America and has already sunk more than 20 alleged drug-running boats in the waters of the Caribbean and the Pacific, resulting in at least 80 extrajudicial killings, the implication is clear: they are calling for Mexico to be the next target.

Had Britain locked down just a week earlier on March 16, as the consensus of evidence said it should, the number of deaths in the first wave up to July would have been reduced by about 23,000 or 48%, the report concluded. A failure to act sooner again as cases rose later in the year also led to further national lockdowns, it added.

The objectives of the coordinated campaign, Beam Reports stated, included shifting blame of atrocities away from the RSF, recasting Sudan's war as a religious conflict to "evoke foreign sympathy", and flooding the online space with fabricated content to confuse media coverage. The RSF carried out mass killings and abuses as it stormed el-Fasher, some of which were documented by its own fighters and have been corroborated by satellite imagery. Beam identified Amjad Taha, an Emirati analyst, as the architect of the campaign.

Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Thursday that Israeli forces and tanks had advanced about 300 metres (984 feet) beyond the so-called “yellow line” in eastern Gaza City. “The fate of many of these families remains unknown amidst the shelling that targeted the area,” the office said, adding that the expansion of the yellow line shows a “blatant disregard” for the ceasefire deal.

MAGA movement leans on protests against Claudia Sheinbaum to push for military intervention in MexicoIn the United States, they have been picked up on by some digital media outlets and commentators from the Trumpian MAGA movement — such as Steve Bannon and Alex Jones, both known for spreading misinformation — to denounce Mexico’s supposed transformation into a “narco-terrorist state.” In a context where the United States has declared war precisely on “narco-terrorism” in Latin America and has already sunk more than 20 alleged drug-running boats in the waters of the Caribbean and the Pacific, resulting in at least 80 extrajudicial killings, the implication is clear: they are calling for Mexico to be the next target.

Ex-UK PM Johnson oversaw 'chaotic' response to COVID which led to more deaths, inquiry finds
Had Britain locked down just a week earlier on March 16, as the consensus of evidence said it should, the number of deaths in the first wave up to July would have been reduced by about 23,000 or 48%, the report concluded. A failure to act sooner again as cases rose later in the year also led to further national lockdowns, it added.

Emirati, Israeli and far-right influencers 'invented Christian killings in Sudan', report says
The objectives of the coordinated campaign, Beam Reports stated, included shifting blame of atrocities away from the RSF, recasting Sudan's war as a religious conflict to "evoke foreign sympathy", and flooding the online space with fabricated content to confuse media coverage. The RSF carried out mass killings and abuses as it stormed el-Fasher, some of which were documented by its own fighters and have been corroborated by satellite imagery. Beam identified Amjad Taha, an Emirati analyst, as the architect of the campaign.

In my new LSU Press book, The Roots of Violent Crime in America: From the Gilded Age through the Great Depression, I examine in detail United States crime rates over a sixty-year period, from roughly the 1880s to 1940. I wrote about a more recent period, 1940 to 2015, in my previous book, The Rise and Fall of Violent Crime in America (2016). Together, these works provide new insights into the relationship between crime and various social conditions: poverty, immigration, economic crises, weakness in the criminal justice system, group subcultures of violence, and more.
A major issue addressed by Roots of Violent Crime, which I would like to touch on here, is the relationship between economic conditions and violent crime. I will limit my remarks to crimes of violence, that is, murder, rape, assault, and forcible robbery. This leaves out property crimes, such as theft/larceny, fraud, burglary, and arson. I’m also excluding so-called public order offenses, including drunk driving, weapons violations, and immigration crimes.
Property crimes and public order offenses correlate with economic conditions in a different way than violent crimes. One can readily see why. Suppose we have a terrible depression, as in the 1930s, with millions of people desperate for necessities and even for food itself. It doesn’t take much to imagine theft and burglary rising in such a situation. As I will show, however, violent crime does not follow the same trajectory as property crime, though it is widely believed that economic decline is a principal cause of crime increase.
The United States has suffered numerous economic recessions, the worst of which (the Great Depression) lasted for more than a full decade, from the stock market crash of late 1929 to the war boom of 1941. Major recessions also occurred in 1873–1879, 1893–1897, and 2007–2009. But there was no consistent relationship between economic decline or economic booms and violent crime.
In the 1890s, a major recession and the influx of millions of massively impoverished immigrants should by popular assumption have produced higher violent crime rates. As I write in Roots of Violent Crime (p. 168):
“If cities breed crime, then the late nineteenth-century United States should have experienced a crime tsunami. Not only did America’s urban population soar, but the living conditions in those cities were, by contemporary measures, petri dishes for criminality. The new urban masses were poor, often desperately so. They were densely packed into the most appalling housing, when not forced by impoverishment to sleep in public places or police station barracks. Urbanites below the middle class were unable to support their children past age twelve, leading city youth to drop out of school to work long hours, or to join street gangs and steal for survival. The cities were governed by thoroughly crooked municipal regimes, such as the notorious Tammany Hall in New York. The police, essentially a security force for the corrupt city governments, were untrained, incompetent, and abusive—free with their nightsticks, especially in dealing with the ‘dangerous classes’ of poor immigrants. The immigrant groups, moreover, along with African Americans who were just beginning their northward migration, were routinely discriminated against because of their nationality, their religion, or their appearance and socially isolated from the city’s middle class, who fled to less menacing suburbs.”
Despite these dreadful conditions violent crime was low, especially in the big cities of the Northeast. Here are the murder rates (per 100,000) in 1890 for six cities. For comparison, consider the murder rates (per 100,000) in these same cities one century later.
As important as the crime rates are, the nature of violent crime in the 1890s was just as significant. Robbery of strangers, the scourge of the crime wave from the late 1960s to the mid-1990s, was virtually unknown in the late nineteenth century. Crime historian Roger Lane once reported that “robbery at gunpoint was so rare in the urban East” that a Bronx saloon holdup in 1895 made headlines in Philadelphia, and the story ran for a week! In 1990, by contrast, an armed robbery in the Bronx wouldn’t even have produced an article, much less a headline, in New York City newspapers.
Jumping ahead to the 1920s, we find an economic boom period. From 1920 to 1929, the nation’s gross domestic product rose 42 percent. The unemployment rate averaged just 5.5 percent. Disposable personal income went from $71.5 billion to $83.3 billion, a jump of 16.5 percent.
Despite the boom, violent crime soared. The chart below shows homicide rates from 1920 to 1940. Notice that the 1920s rates were around 9 per 100,000, which is about the same as the rate from 1970 to 1990. But the big difference was the absence of “muggings.” Robbery was a much greater threat in the 1970s–1990s
Now, you are probably thinking that Prohibition and the booze gang wars were responsible for the high murder rates in the 1920s. Actually, Prohibition had a mixed impact. On the one hand, it spurred shooting wars between organized crime gangs, which increased murder rates in the biggest cities. On the other hand, Prohibition made beer and other alcoholic beverages very expensive, resulting in less public drunkenness and fewer incidents of associated crimes. It also closed down the saloons, which were centers for young male violence.
The Great Depression of the 1930s underscores the inconsistent relationship between violent crime and the economy. Murder rates had been hovering around 9 per 100,000 when the Crash of 1929 occurred. These rates rose even further in the early ’30s, the worst years of the Depression. By 1932 an estimated 28 percent of the nation’s households, containing 34 million people, did not have a single employed wage earner. The economy began to improve after 1934 and voila! Crime fell off sharply. This suggests that economic improvement reduces violent crime. But . . . there was a major economic downturn in 1937–38 (the “Roosevelt Recession”)—nearly four million people lost their jobs, boosting total unemployment to 11.5 million—and despite this recession within the Depression, violent crime continued to decline.
So, there is no trend, no consistent relationship, between general economic conditions and violent crime. This anomaly continued after World War II. Violent crime soared during periods of great prosperity, such as the late 1960s, and declined during recessions, such as in 2007–2009.
What is the explanation for this? The main factor is that violent crimes (except robbery) are not, by and large, motivated by economic concerns. Murder and assault tend to be precipitated by anger, sexual jealousy, perceived insults and threats, long-standing personal quarrels, and similar issues, frequently facilitated by alcohol or some other disinhibiting substance.
Rises and falls in violent crime are less affected by general economic conditions than by demographics (the size of the young male population), weakness in the criminal justice system, the migration or immigration of groups with historically high rates of violence, violent youth gangs, and the widespread availability of firearms
For over three and a half decades, Barry Latzer served as professor of criminal justice at John Jay College, CUNY, where he was a member of the graduate faculty. He has written five books and nearly ninety scholarly articles and research reports.
The Lessons of History.
Many people believe that economic depressions and recessions cause crime, and that economic booms are associated with low crime rates. History, however, tells a different story.In my new LSU Press book, The Roots of Violent Crime in America: From the Gilded Age through the Great Depression, I examine in detail United States crime rates over a sixty-year period, from roughly the 1880s to 1940. I wrote about a more recent period, 1940 to 2015, in my previous book, The Rise and Fall of Violent Crime in America (2016).

The Great Depression of the 1930s underscores the inconsistent relationship between violent crime and the economy. Murder rates had been hovering around 9 per 100,000 when the Crash of 1929 occurred. These rates rose even further in the early ’30s, the worst years of the Depression. By 1932 an estimated 28 percent of the nation’s households, containing 34 million people, did not have a single employed wage earner. The economy began to improve after 1934 and voila! Crime fell off sharply. This suggests that economic improvement reduces violent crime. But . . . there was a major economic downturn in 1937–38 (the “Roosevelt Recession”)—nearly four million people lost their jobs, boosting total unemployment to 11.5 million—and despite this recession within the Depression, violent crime continued to decline.
So, there is no trend, no consistent relationship, between general economic conditions and violent crime. This anomaly continued after World War II. Violent crime soared during periods of great prosperity, such as the late 1960s, and declined during recessions, such as in 2007–2009.
What is the explanation for this? The main factor is that violent crimes (except robbery) are not, by and large, motivated by economic concerns. Murder and assault tend to be precipitated by anger, sexual jealousy, perceived insults and threats, long-standing personal quarrels, and similar issues, frequently facilitated by alcohol or some other disinhibiting substance.
Rises and falls in violent crime are less affected by general economic conditions than by demographics (the size of the young male population), weakness in the criminal justice system, the migration or immigration of groups with historically high rates of violence, violent youth gangs, and the widespread availability of firearms
For over three and a half decades, Barry Latzer served as professor of criminal justice at John Jay College, CUNY, where he was a member of the graduate faculty. He has written five books and nearly ninety scholarly articles and research reports.

Politically, there are no people more repulsive to me than those Balts (by the way, I’m not a Russophile or anything like that). Such an exhausting underass fly syndrome and good house uyghur vibe radiates from all three countries in that forgotten little corner of Europe. To some extent, it can be understood, considering their position and historical context, but their pathological hatred and Nazi-leaning collusion, in the style of an obedient little dog, is so irritating and disgusting that it goes beyond anything that could justify them.
I don’t know what your experience with them is, but whenever I’ve come across someone from that crowd - mostly online - it’s always the same impression: they throw shade and open hatred toward 'my' country (‘little Russia, blah blah blah’), convinced that they’re above the Russians, with some strange badger-like habitus about them. Incredibly unpleasant people.

New Noj rants on Lenin's Government. Key takeaways are as follows Lenin abandoned his ideals from State and Revolution, that being a state that eliminates the alienation caused by the difference between worker and politician that is prevalent in bourgeoisie democracy, due to the civil war. But kept the elimination of the distinction of different branches of government and that the idea that all political conflict arises from different class interests. The state was separated into two halves the Soviet Government and the Party with a matching set of hierarchy. With the goal of the party to guide the government, but as time went on the distinction between the too blurred. With the Politburo becoming the head of state due to its quick ability to create and pass laws as compared the slow bureaucratic soviet government. The party at all times dominated the government and prevented from any real change in policy from it.

Alienation is not some fucking moral crisis of humanity it's literally just how wage labor and capital accumulation work. Marxist humanists can't admit that because they keep putting "the human" at the center of everything instead of looking at the material setup that creates it.

Can someone give me non-bullshit explanation of how exactly Western PROLETARIAT benefits from imperialism?
The West exported their investments and know-how and helped in the industrialization of the third world. Not just China, but also SEA, Asian tigers, India, Brazil, Poland, Malaysia etc. This resulted in the exact opposite of what happened in colonialism. The Western industries were hollowed out this time, and outsourced to the third world. Now sure, the Western bourgie benefited from this, but the money didnt trickle down much. That's why in the 1970s you could support a family and live a decent life doing a simple blue collar job and now you cant. So where exactly did the Western PROLETARIAT benefit from this imperialism?

Nazism is founded on Satanism.
Nietzche, the philosopher whose works were used as a philosophical backing for the Reich, was a Grand master of the Ordo Templi Orientis Lodge, whose leader was Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley, if you don't know, was the premier satanist and occultist of the 19th century, who coined the term "Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". He is the man who inspired LaVey to found the Church of Satan.
Hitler himself was deeply interested in occultism, and openly expressed this. Nazism in fact directly traces its roots to Ariosophy, a racist offshoot of Theosophy, the movement Crowley was a part of. Himmler was particularly embroiled in this.
The recent rise of Nazism is nothing more and nothing less than a psyop to compromise the right-wing youth into being Satanists.

>LTV
From my understanding, alienation occurs because the worker doesn't enjoy the full value of his labor, determined by his labor. Without going into economic debates about which paradigm is true, how do you resolve the LTV being arguably false with the alienation incumbent on the workers ? Alternatively, if labor is presumed to not have innate value, how does alienation come about ?
>Historical materialism
Similarly, how does the marxist critique interprets the potential errors that Marx made. If class conflict is the sole driver of history, how do you explain Napoleon or feudal reconfiguration. Furthermore, if the superstructure can affect and influence the base structure, doesn't this negate the broad "justification" of a revolution and that the roles of production aren't everything in a society (perhaps this lies on me, but I hardly see how marxism can be non-work centered).
>Falling rates of profit/crisis theory
It is my understanding that Marx argued that capitalism would inevitably result in crisis which would weaken the working class and express its contradiction. However, the keynesian framework allows for a more robust understanding of these crisis aswell as an integration of consideration for the workers in its system. Similarly, the TRPF has been disproved by Okshio's theory and has been somewhat proven empirically false. If both are true, what requirement is there to fundamentally change system and free ourselves from the free market "constraint" ?
>Empirical cases of "marxist-leninist" states & the ECP
Lastly, how do MLs adress the issue of domination in marxists societies. Essentially, why haven't marxist utopias produced long-lasting results and individual satisfaction ?
And if it's purely due to historical conjunctures, how do marxists adress the issue of the ECP ?
How do you reply to these points without having to abandon marxism at its core?
I haven't really been much of a marxist throughout my life because of its somewhat "continental" nature. In essence my thought system has been articulated around the idea of non-domination/non-coercion, similar to most neo-republicans nowadays. Yet, whilst discussing with a friend of mine yesterday, she described marxism as essentially that, except with a broader picture than the individual. Thus my question is, how do you respond to these critiques without falling into some form of left-libertarianism or kantian ethical (like Rawls or Pettit) system ?>LTV

The factions said the plan headed by US President Donald Trump and backed by a number of Arab states in the region represents a “form of deep international partnership in the war of extermination waged by the [Israeli] occupation against our people”. The resolution also ignores the daily attacks by Israeli soldiers and settlers across the occupied West Bank, and pays no attention to root causes like ending Israeli occupation and apartheid, Hamas and the other groups said.

Riyadh Metro construction rife with migrant labour abuses, says Amnesty
According to the report, workers were charged "exorbitant" illegal fees to secure work and then "endured long, arduous hours in sometimes unsafe conditions for minimal, discriminatory pay". Workers were exploited even before they left home by a range of foreign and Saudi companies. The report mentions that over a decade, workers were asked to pay between $700 and $3,500 in recruitment fees to agents in their home countries, forcing many into debt.

Families of IRA victims in England told new Troubles bill could revive path to justice
Until now much of the focus of discussion about the bill has been the possible impact it may have on former and current British service personnel who could face legal proceedings over incidents that happened decades ago. But the UK government is keen to stress that if its new bill becomes law, it opens up the possibility of justice – or at least answers – for families who lost loved ones dating back half a century.

The resolution also ignores the daily attacks by Israeli soldiers and settlers across the occupied West Bank, and pays no attention to root causes like ending Israeli occupation and apartheid, Hamas and the other groups said.

I don't think eugenics and communism are necessarily opposed to each other. Just as communism is about Man consciously controlling the mode of His social reproduction, eugenics is about Man consciously controlling the mode of His biological reproduction.

>1) do not affect me directly, at least not in any immediate survival sense, and thus drain my precious energy;
>2) spiral into ideological battles where one side wants to enslave me for capitalism, or its uglier form in fascism, through the rise of ultranationalism and right-wing populism, whereas the other side wants me to be spiritually lobotomized for a supposedly just utopia where history has ended and neoliberalism has won;

My previous position was pure Third Worldist, i.e, that Marxism is hopeless in the developed West, that for Marxists in the first world, you have three options: rear guard battle in the core, revolution in the periphery and semi periphery where Marxism and more specifically Marxist-Leninism actually have a chance, and emigration to an actual ML state (North Korea, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, C) or ML controlled territory (Kerala in India).
Looking at the "what is Communism" thread, it seems that it might be worthwhile to actually establish a Trotskyite/Demsoc territory or country within the imperial core, simply for the propaganda value and to influence opinion in the developed West.
That means:
-Developed country / Imperial Core status
-Victory through elections, however much disinformation is used to win the first few.
-Subsidies from BRICS to provide high HDI and standard of living to survive the inevitable Western sanctions.
-Potential military protection from Russia or China, to prevent coup attempts or hard attacks.
-A BJP / LDP-style political structure, wherein the vanguard party effectively controls the mainstream and the elections, but allows the existence of rump opposition parties or loss of local control over regions.
I think the point is concentration, i.e, looking for a country where a Trotskyite revolution CAN succeed, and dedicating efforts to decisively win elections there.
But personally, in the developed core, the revolutionary potential is garbage.
The closest country I can think of is actually Singapore, given PAP decline, but Beijing is unlikely to support unrest in its new Hong Kong surrogate.
Any suggestions for revolutionary candidates? Remember, the point is, comrades from both the West and the South focus on taking this specific country. The sustainability will be based off a combination of BRICS subsidies and Sino-Russian military protection. The difference between this and traditional Third Worldist revolutionary attempts in the core is that we are actually trying to succeed, whereas the traditional Third Worldist position is to simply see revolution in the core as attempts at disruption and sabotage.

Asylum seekers’ jewellery could be seized to pay for processing costs, says Home Office minister
The idea is another borrowed from Denmark’s tough approach to asylum by Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, in an attempt to reduce the number of refugees coming to the UK. While Mahmood has billed the changes as the only way to see off “dark forces … stirring up anger” over migration, a number of Labour MPs are known to dislike some of the ideas, with at least one minister on resignation watch.

Greeks march to mark anniversary of 1973 student revolt against junta
They briefly stopped outside Parliament and chanted the national anthem, a symbolic move to honour the victims of a 2023 train crash, the country's deadliest rail disaster, which has become a painful emblem of state failures. They later reached the U.S. embassy, which was blocked off with rows of police buses. Some of the demonstrators who followed held carnations or banners reading "Resistance". Others chanted slogans in solidarity with Palestinians. "Fifty-two years ago some people sacrificed their lives for us to enjoy today all those rights acquired," said Niki Steinhauer, 21. "The message of the Polytechnic (revolt) is more relevant than ever," she added, as she protested against the government over a recent law which extends working hours in the private sector.

New Zealand's top court rules that Uber drivers are employees
The top court's decision could give Uber drivers similar rights to those in a number of countries, including the UK. The Workers First Union said the Supreme Court's judgement "paves the way for thousands of Workers First Union members to pursue full employment rights, including restitution for historic underpayment of wages and entitlements" and that it would now be advancing collective bargaining.

Tens of thousands rally in Manila to protest corruption in the Philippines
Police estimated that about 130,000 members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, or Church of Christ, gathered in Manila’s Rizal Park by mid-afternoon ahead of the rally. Other groups were scheduled to hold a separate anti-corruption protest later on Sunday at the “People Power” monument in suburban Quezon city. Iglesia is an influential group that votes as a bloc and is courted by political candidates during elections. During a September 21 anti-corruption demonstration, a few hundred black-clad protesters threw rocks, bottles and firebombs at policemen near the presidential palace in Manila, injuring more than 100 officers.

UN approves US plan authorising international stabilisation force in GazaThe US revised the wording to state that once the Palestinian Authority — which currently governs parts of the West Bank — undertakes reforms and redevelopment of the devastated Gaza Strip advances, “the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood”. “The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence,” the resolution adds.

Asylum seekers’ jewellery could be seized to pay for processing costs, says Home Office minister
The idea is another borrowed from Denmark’s tough approach to asylum by Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, in an attempt to reduce the number of refugees coming to the UK. While Mahmood has billed the changes as the only way to see off “dark forces … stirring up anger” over migration, a number of Labour MPs are known to dislike some of the ideas, with at least one minister on resignation watch.

Greeks march to mark anniversary of 1973 student revolt against junta
They briefly stopped outside Parliament and chanted the national anthem, a symbolic move to honour the victims of a 2023 train crash, the country's deadliest rail disaster, which has become a painful emblem of state failures. They later reached the U.S. embassy, which was blocked off with rows of police buses. Some of the demonstrators who followed held carnations or banners reading "Resistance". Others chanted slogans in solidarity with Palestinians. "Fifty-two years ago some people sacrificed their lives for us to enjoy today all those rights acquired," said Niki Steinhauer, 21. "The message of the Polytechnic (revolt) is more relevant than ever," she added, as she protested against the government over a recent law which extends working hours in the private sector.

Jara won slightly more support, with about 26% of votes going to the former labor minister for Chile’s outgoing centre-left president, Gabriel Boric. But other right-wing candidates took almost 30% of votes meaning Kast is now the clear favourite to win the run-off on 14 December.

Why isn't China funneling money to combat anti-communist propaganda in the west/
Why isn't China funneling money to combat anti-communist propaganda in the west? Or anti-chinese propaganda? Or anything like that? All they do is whine about the confucious institute but its clearly not doing jackshit since sinophobia and anti-communism continue to be rampant. Where are the think tanks? Why aren't they financing channels to screw over the algorhytmn? Why? If they're doing something or anything at all its not enough. Anywhere east of Russia is generally an anti-communist shithole that holds no respect for China and millions of citizens brainwashed into pro-American slopaganda about how China's "stealing technology from the US", "China is totalitarian surveillence undemocratic state when west is freedumz n freeze peach", "Russia aggressor 2022 Putin dictator" "Hummus antisemitism". Why is China letting this retardation continue? Its only fueling the retardation war machine and conditioning the retarded to die for retardation. Why come China is just letting anti-chinese and anti-communist propaganda flood the internet? China is literally winning on all grounds except propaganda, why hasn't it solidified its global importance by financing anti-western sentinment? Why do we have to be forced to listen and see all this retarded bullshit and argue with it to no avail when China has the power to finance cointel to win the information war?

Why not nationalize merchant capital? It seems like a perfectly reasonable liberal democratic reform that is easily achievable under capitalism. The same way the government takes care of roads it should take care of staffing, education, commuting, communications, shipping, retail and logistics of all sorts. Industry should focus on making goods and providing services and not on costs like staffing, training skilled workers and shipping goods. All that stuff is pure overhead which is best nationalized. Picture unrelated.

Resolutely oppose quackery, bravely uphold Science
No man has been slandered so much in the history of science. The class enemy and their pseudo-intellectuals pour mud and shit on the man who dared to call a spade a spade - that biology is on firm Marxist-Leninist principles. That we did not create Marxism-Leninism, but that it is Marxism-Leninism that created us. Dialetical materialist understanding of the flora and fauna was forged with Great Darwin’s evolution theory. It was sharpened into a fine blade Engels’ brilliant ‘Part played by labour in the transition from ape to man’. Comrade Lysenko gallantly wielded the Immortal Science and embarked on steppe-wide crusade against scarcity amd famine. And the treat lovers hated him for it, they still do. No, no, no! No abundance of wheat, rice, and corn for the asiatic hordes and the African specimen! How dare they! Funko Pops for me, Famine Poop for thee! By burying Lysenko , and promoting Monsanto debauchery in the fields, by bullying Bohm-deBroglie and promoting the Heisenberg-Bohr mystic mafia in reactors, the Treatlerites secured the Century for themselves. But we must not be afraid. We must uphold the Great Men of Science. As Neruda’s pen truthfully carved: To be Man - that is the Stalinist Law !

Also, something weird I’ve been noticing is that people say that Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico should be freed from the US, but they never say that native peoples with in the lower 48 states and Alaska should be freed, which just naturalizes the US empire’s occupation of indigenous land.
Idk, it just seems like from online discourse both on and off of /leftypol/, that 95+ percent of leftists outside of the US think that all Native Americans are extinct, or think that they’re horrible and unrevolutionary. NonAmericanBros, especially GlobalSouthBros, please tell me you don’t think this. Please tell me you have love and solidarity for your fellow oppressed people, while also being able to criticize them while they are reactionary in a healthy way without writing them off as a whole.

How popular is this horrible reactionary sentiment among the left globally?
So, in addition to the contingent of people who think that Native Americans don’t exist anymore and were all genocided (which ironically is US government propaganda to justify its continued settler-colonial occupation of indigenous land), there also seems to be a contingent of people who thinks that all people in the US regardless of race, *even Native Americans*, are irredeemable and unrevolutionary and should even be killed, such as the posts I’ve circled in the two screenshots I attached. While I could completely get behind white people in the US either leaving to Europe or being killed or should just be killed in general when revolution comes, (and I say this as a white settler myself), and that even manyBlack people in the US still contribute to US imperialism, how on earth could you have this little intellectual curiosity and empathy for the plight of indigenous peoples in the so-called US. I mean come on, thousands of completely unique languages foodways, ways of music and art, and beautiful people were and are continuing to be destroyed for the sake of building the most horrible and destructive empire on the history of earth, and instead of having empathy for those whose lands it is built on, you say you want to continue said evil empire’s genocide all while claiming to oppose said evil empire, just because a small comprador class of Native Americans aligns with US imperialism. I mean even if you don’t care about the people themselves, which you should, shouldn’t you care for the sake of intellectualism about thousands of distinct languages and cultures?Also, something weird I’ve been noticing is that people say that Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico should be freed from the US, but they never say that native peoples with in the lower 48 states and Alaska should be freed, which just naturalizes the US empire’s occupation of indigenous land.

Is the sexual/societal frustration from not having a girlfriend/wife is really the leading motivation for the majority of right-wing men? The more I observe the behavior of reactionaries online the more it feels like so. They hate women's rights because it empowers their girlfriends/wifes to be able to leave them. They hate racial minorities because they imagine their girlfriends/wifes leave them for racial minority men. They hate Jews because they think Jews are behind women's rights… e.t.c.

Karl Kautsky - Haven't read any of his works and probably never will, Lenin speaks of him in such vitriol and venom it's like he's everything wrong with the socialist movement.

During a raid of one of the doctors’ homes in the city of Faridabad, in Haryana state, police said they had uncovered 2,900kg of explosive materials as well as chemicals, detonators and assault rifles, which they now believe were being readied for a multi-target attack.

His move follows the recent collapse of a long-running attempt initiated by the former national-conservative (PiS) government to have the KPP outlawed. The president’s office announced this week that, on 6 November, Nawrocki had submitted an application to the Constitutional Tribunal (TK), asking the court to determine that the KPP does not conform to the Polish constitution. In his justification for the request, Nawroocki argued that “communist ideology is directed against fundamental human values and the traditions of European and Christian civilisation”. He noted that Poland itself “was and remains one of the greatest victims of communism”.

Some had visas for Canada, Australia and Malaysia, they were eventually permitted to leave for those countries,” said Imtiaz Sooliman, the chair and founder of Gift of the Givers.

China is developing the world’s most ambitious network to transport its clean energy
Over the past five years, the total length of China’s UHV transmission lines has increased from 17,400 miles to more than 24,854, according to the latest figures from the National Energy Administration. The country currently has 45 UHV lines (one AC line at ±1,100 kilovolts, 21 AC lines at 1,000 kilovolts, and 23 DC lines at ±800 kilovolts). Beijing anticipates that by the end of 2025, the west-east transmission capacity will exceed 340 GW, a 25% increase over 2020, enough to power approximately 230 million Chinese households.

In his justification for the request, Nawroocki argued that “communist ideology is directed against fundamental human values and the traditions of European and Christian civilisation”. He noted that Poland itself “was and remains one of the greatest victims of communism”.

Google snubs EU request for self-imposed breakup
In its decision, the Commission concluded that Google’s abuse was a product of the “inherent conflict of interest” it has by owning such vast swaths of the infrastructure that powers online advertising. A spokesperson for the Commission confirmed in a statement that the EU executive had received Google’s proposal, and that it will now analyse the proposed measures.

Mahmood to unveil anti-migration measures modelled on Danish system
Mahmood is also expected to be preparing changes to human rights legislation to make it easier to deport people who cross the Channel in small boats. Changes would include requiring judges to prioritise public safety over migrants’ rights to a family life, or the risk that they would face “inhuman” treatment if returned to their home country, the Telegraph reported.

Twenty-five states funnelled oil to Israel during genocide: Report
The sharp drop in Brazil's exports to Israel has coincided with a surge in deliveries to the Sarroch refinery in Sardinia, along with a rise in refined products exported from the refinery to Israel. The report also found that 17 countries sent 152 shipments of nearly 3.3 million tonnes of refined petroleum products to Israel in the same period, with 45 percent of shipments coming from Russia. It also noted that the US sent nine shipments carrying 360,000 tonnes of JP-8 - a jet fuel blend used for military aircraft - as well as two shipments of diesel from Valero’s Bill Greehey Refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas.

UN peacekeepers say Israel built walls inside Lebanese territory
UNIFIL said another section of the wall, southeast of Yaroun, also extends beyond the Blue Line. “UNIFIL informed the [Israeli army] of our findings and requested that they move the walls,” it said. In response to UNIFIL’s statement on Friday, the Israeli military told the AFP news agency that the wall “is part of a broader plan whose construction began in 2022”.

South Africa to investigate ‘mysterious’ arrival of 153 Palestinians on plane
Details about how the group left Gaza remain elusive but the Gift of the Givers Foundation, a local nonprofit working in disaster response, said it was the second plane carrying Palestinians to land in South Africa in the last two weeks. “The Palestinians had no idea where they were bundled off to, only when in Kenya did they realise they were coming to South Africa. Some had visas for Canada, Australia and Malaysia, they were eventually permitted to leave for those countries,” said Imtiaz Sooliman, the chair and founder of Gift of the Givers.

Protesters block the main entrance to COP30 climate talks in Brazil
Munduruku leaders had a series of demands for Brazil. They included revoking plans for commercial development of rivers, canceling a grain railway project that has raised fears of deforestation and clearer demarcations of Indigenous territories. They also want a rejection of deforestation carbon credits.

China is developing the world’s most ambitious network to transport its clean energy
Over the past five years, the total length of China’s UHV transmission lines has increased from 17,400 miles to more than 24,854, according to the latest figures from the National Energy Administration. The country currently has 45 UHV lines (one AC line at ±1,100 kilovolts, 21 AC lines at 1,000 kilovolts, and 23 DC lines at ±800 kilovolts). Beijing anticipates that by the end of 2025, the west-east transmission capacity will exceed 340 GW, a 25% increase over 2020, enough to power approximately 230 million Chinese households.

Socialist Party of Malaysia leaders arrested for opposing illegal home demolitions
Earlier this month, PSM and other organizations had appealed to the state to halt the demolition until alternative arrangements were made, as without such an arrangement over a hundred families would become homeless. However, the company resumed the demolition of all houses in the region on November 10, in complete violation of earlier promises and state assurances.

Where marxist material analysis fails
How can Marxists explain why India is so filthy and unhygienic from material analysis? It's not even just slums that are like this but almost all of India expect for a few pockets of gated communities. A lot of poor countries in the middle east reeling from the ravages of war or even fucking sri lanka looks better in comparison. At the end of the day you can't explain this phenomenon without discussing cultural elements. Maybe those cultural elements are rooted in remote history but we don't know and we can never be sure and even if that's true they don't help us fix the issue in the present. Some argue it's cause the local municipal governments are underfunded and understaffed in India compared to countries like china but that's true for sri lanka/thailand too and doesn't explain why Indians themselves willingly shit up their public spaces.

I don’t know much about Italy, beyond the fact that it did literally nothing useful except get some fascists and communists killed and maybe prevented a neo~fascist coup by incidentally (without knowing it) killing the plotters.
Turkey though… I know for a fact the Grey Wolves instigated the battle for Kahramanmaraş, at the behest of the Turkish military, by assassinating communists and turning the city into a small scale war zone.
Whereupon the Turkish army came in and arrested both the communists and fascists (the people who helped the orchestrate the entire mess), declared martial law across the nation and jailed their political opponents and executed thousands.
So yeah, individual/small scale political violence are useless, if anything counter productive because it gives opportunity for the state (irregardless of the ideology of the state and perpetrators of the violence) the opportunity to crack down on any form of dissent or opposition against the regime, be it “legal” or “illegal”.
If you’re going to do something (mind you something I entirely disagree with, but that’s my opinion) you either do it properly or you don’t do it at all.

The CIA proved stronger than all fake AES projects and toppled many fake AES projects, because they are the real AES. They are not alienated, they are professional, socialized (team workers). IN fact I would even praise the NSA to say they built socialism in one room - Room 641A. I want to live in Room 641A and have all the hearsay of the world (interconnectness) at my fingertips and for my eyes and ears to enjoy. Room 641A is like getting access to spectator mode for a videogame like TF2 when you get killed but for the entire world, that's some AES right there, some real scientific outlook on development.

Political implications of more Americans converting to Catholicism?
The American right was heavily associated with Evangelical idpol for the past 50 years. They became the cultural backbone of the GOP from the 80s to the late 2000s. Now it appears like a huge number of former Evangelicals are converting to Catholicism. I even know some ex-Mormons who are Catholic now.
At the same time, it seems like leftists are embracing Catholicism too. Remember when everyone was convinced Pope Francis was a secret socialist? Jacobin mag goes out of their way with appealing to Catholics as well (every other article of theirs is something along the lines of: “Move over pink-haired bipolar feminist queers, here’s why the Catholic Church are the REAL socialists!”). People like Dorothy Day are propped up even though her actual contributions to the American left were minimal and symbolic at best (the Catholic Worker also referred to the priests killed by /ourguys/ in Catalonia as “martyrs” which is disgusting). Not to mention, the Jacobin crowd seems very big on appealing to right-wing Catholic sentiments like complaining about birthrates being too low and proposing Bernie-style policies like universal healthcare to “fix” it, as if low birthrates are a problem to begin with.
But anyway, if Catholicism becomes a major cultural force in America in the next few years how do you see it affecting the political landscape?

>Spreading religious fanaticism through irregular beards or name selection
Can't grow a suspicious beard or name your kid mohamed
>Wearing (or compelling others to wear) burqas with face coverings
Can't wear religious clothing
>Interfering with cultural and recreational activities, rejecting or refusing public goods and services such as radio and television.
Gotta listen to NPR I guess
>Publishing, printing, distributing, selling, producing, downloading, storing, reproducing, accessing, copying, or possessing articles, publications, audio or video with extremist content

THE IDEAL WINNING 2028 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
As a supporter of the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, I obviously realize that the Democrats are a Controlled Opposition Party who exist to keep the Workers and Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies of Naw Afrika, Aztlan, the First Nations, inside the U$ corralled and controlled, while the dominant ruling Crypto-Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist MAGAtard Republicans transform the U$ into a Full-Blown Fascist Police State, which combined with the fact that the U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American population like they are not U$ citizens (Trump ending birthright citizenship will probably transform this from a De facto to a De jure reality by officially stripping citizenship from most of these populations), with them essentially acting as a permanent domestic underclass with essentially no rights that are exploited for cheap labor and disproportionately suffer from Mass incarceration and police brutality, with their neighborhoods essentially under De facto occupation by militarized police, as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Internal Colonies/Oppressed Nations inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists as stipulated by Lenin’s principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR, which will happen once World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR (all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are pictured in the map I posted, with the former U$ Balkanized into a New African SSR that includes the Black/New Afrikan majority counties of the Black Belt, a Hispano-American SFSR that includes the Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo majority counties in the U$ Southwest, along with the rest of the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas, while the White Settler majority regions in the rest of the former U$ becomes part of the Anglo-American SFSR, which also includes the English-speaking provinces of Canada, as Quebec will become its own SSR, with all the Native American reservations becoming ASSRs) to Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
However, as I have stated many times before a proper Dialectical Materialist analysis still reveals that a Controlled Opposition is better then No Opposition, and as we see on the International Stage that China is a “Controlled Opposition” to U$ Imperialism in the same way that the U$ Democrats are “Controlled Opposition” to the Republicans, thus making China the “Global Democrats”, with the massive caveat that a Maoist faction taking over the CCP and purging the Dengists could place China back in the Socialist Mode of Production on the Shining Path to Communism without another Maoist PPW there, though despite this fact both China (Iran is another example of a Lesser Evil Controlled Opposition) and the U$ Democrats should be “Critically Supported”, not because we genuinely support these Bourgeois entities, but because they are both a “Lesser Evil” faction of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System who De Facto prevent the “Greater Evil” of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System from completely crushing the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World before the World Maoist PPW can be successful when the Global Nuclear War breaks out, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
So with these Dialectical Materialist facts in consideration, what do my fellow Comrades think of this hypothetical “Ideal Winning 2028 Democratic Platform” (this is making Three Bold assumptions, Firstly, that Trump dose not use the Insurrection Act to declare Martial Law and suspend all Elections, thus officially ending Bourgeois Liberal Democracy in the U$ and making him De Facto U$ President for Life, which is what I expect/fear will happen, Secondly, that a Centre-Left Social Democrat like AOC would ever be allowed by the Centrist Neoliberal/Neocon Democratic Establishment to win the Democratic Nomination, and Thirdly/Finally that the majority Ultra-Reactionary Racist/Sexist White Settler Labor Aristocrat/Petit Bourgeois U$ electorate will ever vote for Centre-Left Social Democrat, especially a Brown Chicano/Mestizo Woman like AOC) that is based on the principles of Social Democracy, Social Progressivism, and Non-Interventionism, with Pragmatic characteristics, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🤔?
ECONOMIC POLICY:
Universal Basic Income: Guarantee every Adult U$ citizen a Nontaxable 1000$ monthly check starting on their 18th birthday, paid for by a 10% VAT on all Non-Essential goods (everything but Food, Housing, Healthcare, Education, and Clothing/Hygiene products), Progressive Tax Reform, and eliminating all Means-Tested Social Programs (ie.

Corporations would pay a single 30% Tax rate, and all deductions would be eliminated for both Individuals and Corporations.

Free Trade: Eliminate all Tariffs on imported goods, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

FOREIGN POLICY AND DEFENSE:
The Middle East: End all Foreign Aid to the Zionist State and place a Arms Embargo on them until they agree to a Immediate Ceasefire, Prisoner/Hostage exchange, and IDF withdrawal from Gaza along with a clear pathway to implement a Two-State solution to the Zionist-Palestinian Conflict along the 1967 borders with 1:1 land swaps.

Dialectics bros.....
have you ever come to the realization of the universal truth of dialectics for the first time? sounds a little retarded and maybe it is but i got really high and finally came to the realization of what dialectics actually meant, how so many of my recurring thoughts on emergent properties were actually just separate cases of the one most fundamental belief to materialism. and how many of my issues with society were born from the most elementary politic which comes from the most essential divide – the belief in a static world of essence, and the belief in an ever-changing world of emergent properties. analytic philosophy has destroyed the world

Abe used to dance around questions about whether or not Japan was the aggressor in WWII, saying things like, 'oh the historians are still debating that, we should hear out both sides of the debate,' while Takaichi openly says that it was a "war for security" and justified under self-defense.
She's also in love with the idea of war with China of course. There was one anon here who was adamant that Ishiba would be pushing for a Japan able to detach from its absolute dependence on the US and work more with China, but like the typical centrist he is, he just resigned to give way to this freak lmfao.

Home Office funding has been provided for the rollout of a new fleet of facial recognition vans across police forces in Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley and Hampshire. The technology, already in use across Metropolitan, South Wales, and Essex forces, allows officers to record the surrounding area using cameras mounted on top of their vans.

Germany to introduce voluntary military service
Although the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr, needs tens of thousands more soldiers, there will be no return to compulsory military service, according to the governing parties. "The new military service is initially based on voluntary service," is the key sentence of the draft bill, which will go before the German parliament in December. In future, however, there will be mandatory physical assessments for all 18-year-old men.

Mexico to intercept suspected drug boats to prevent further US strikes
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Thursday that an agreement has been reached with the United States regarding the alleged drug-running boats that the Donald Trump administration has been targeting since last September. Under the new arrangement, Mexico’s Navy will be responsible for intercepting these vessels in international waters near the country’s coasts in order to prevent further bombings, according to the joint operational protocols agreed upon by both governments. The goal, Sheinbaum explained, is to avoid more attacks like the one that occurred two weeks ago, 400 nautical miles off Acapulco, when Mexico attempted — so far without success — to rescue the sole survivor.

Milei seeks to accelerate Argentina’s copper boom by easing glacier rules
Now Milei plans to send changes that would essentially dilute those protections to Congress for approval, said the person, who couldn’t be named discussing behind-the-scenes deliberations. Another option for Milei – who has a renewed mandate to advance his deregulation agenda after a resounding win in midterms last month – would be to make changes via decree. But the congressional path would give companies an extra safeguard.

Powerful politicians will be in jail by Christmas for corruption scandal, Philippine president says
Vice President Sara Duterte, who has had a bitter political feud with Marcos, said the president also should be held accountable for signing into law the 2025 national budget that carried appropriations for anomalous infrastructure projects. “He has a big shortcoming in his work for the nation so he can put himself in jail,” Duterte told reporters Thursday.

Over 150 Palestinian refugees denied entry and stranded at OR Tambo airport
The refugees, who arrived from Nairobi, Kenya, on Thursday morning, were denied entry due to missing exit stamps in their passports – a move that humanitarian organisation Gift of the Givers claims was deliberately orchestrated by Israeli authorities to compound their plight. According to Gift of the Givers founder Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, the group landed at the airport but were prohibited from disembarking the aircraft.
On Thursday evening, they were still on the plane.

As I've spent the past few months trying to research history and further define my own political identity, I've fallen down a rabbit-hole from mainstream social media platforms to smaller imageboards (such as this one, which has particularly interested me!).
I was hoping to hear some of your own conclusions as to why it's so much more common to see people fall for right-wing pipelines and propaganda, and whether or not it makes them stupid or just gullible. I started to research niche right-wing online communities (which I will avoid mentioning by name) and have noticed their significant influence despite their small size, and their sheer output of content.
My theory is that right-wing politics provide short, simple answers to complicated issues. Because of that, it's easy to build a community that produces content which mocks people who provide answers that can't be explained in a single paragraph. Also the fact that this content is played off as simply a joke or absurdist humor rather than legitimate propaganda.
Again, sorry if this sounds dumb or has an obvious answer!

how exactly do wignats expect to achieve their "ethnostate"
This is a question I have always had, usually when reading their forums they just go on and on about how they're going to magically deport 100 million non-whites from America and then they'll live happily ever after.No actual realistic steps seem to be discussed ever.

Nobody cares about "revisionism". Nobody cares if you think socialism ended in the USSR in 1953 or whatever. Nobody cares about your position on debates and splits that took place decades before they were born. What people *do* care about is that socialism and can solve the problems that face them, like poverty and colonialism. I've seen people here ridicule the notion that socialism is helping people but there is really no other way to build power. People did not follow Lenin because he had the right ideas but because the Bolsheviks were the only conceivable solution that didn't end in what would later be known as fascism. Why does the CPC have near-universal approval in China? Because their system works and it provides for the people. Almost nobody there wants to return to the days of the Cultural Revolution. And where is anti-revisionist cause celebre Albania today? Now just another NATO puppet state. The entire concept of "anti-revisionism" is anti-materialist because it puts ideas before people. It doesn't matter if you have the right ideas because Marxism was never about having the right ideas. What matters is having the right practice. Here's another truke: If your system can be undone by a single bad actor with mere decrees, then maybe it was useless and was never going to make it in the first place.

a specimen of a very rare breed.
I won't describe a specimen of this breed to you,
O perspicacious reader
You'll never get to see even one example of this breed.
You aren't constituted so that you can perceive such types.
They're invisible to you.
Only honest and bold eyes can see them.
This poem serves merely so
that you'll know,
even if only by hearsay,
what kind of people
exist on this earth.
There are only a few of them,
but through them
everyone's life will flourish.
Without them
life would wither.
There are only a few of them,
but they make it possible for all people to breathe;
without them people would suffocate.
There's a great mass
of honest and good people,
but there are very few people like them.
But these few people are within that mass,
as theine is in tea,
as bouquet is in fine wine.
They are its strength and its aroma.
They are the flower of the best people,
the movers of the movers,
the salt of the salt of the earth.
I've met a Communist today
Yes, he was an extraordinary man,a specimen of a very rare breed.
I won't describe a specimen of this breed to you,
O perspicacious reader
You'll never get to see even one example of this breed.
You aren't constituted so that you can perceive such types.
They're invisible to you.
Only honest and bold eyes can see them.
This poem serves merely so
that you'll know,
even if only by hearsay,
what kind of people
exist on this earth.
There are only a few of them,
but through them
everyone's life will flourish.
Without them
life would wither.
There are only a few of them,
but they make it possible for all people to breathe;
without them people would suffocate.
There's a great mass
of honest and good people,
but there are very few people like them.
But these few people are within that mass,
as theine is in tea,
as bouquet is in fine wine.
They are its strength and its aroma.
They are the flower of the best people,
the movers of the movers,
the salt of the salt of the earth.

Am I the only one seeing a re-birth of “anarcho”-capitalist ideology on the internet?
These fuckers were EVERYWHERE back in the late 2000s and early 2010s. In fact, their presence coincided with the Obama presidency, whereby the entire GOP was calling Obama a closeted communist and pushing a ton of anti-Marxist propaganda. A lot of it had to do with the Ron Paul cult that started in 2007-2008. “An”-caps tried weaselling their way into every anti-war protest, every authentically anarchist space, Occupy Wall Street (they tried infiltrating the movement to make it about ending the Federal Reserve but failed), and plenty of other anti-establishment spaces.
However, by the mid 2010s most of them jumped on the Trump train and shifted their views entirely. No longer were they free market fundamentalists but big government right-wing populists. My friend in New Hampshire said that nearly all the Free Staters are now anti-drug, anti-queer, anti-abortion, and pro-police, when they all held the polar opposite views 13-15 years ago. Plus, many free market guys are now MAGAts who’ve converted to traditionalist Catholicism and are pushing a hyper-nationalist crypto-NazBol agenda. The only thing I can conclude is that their views were always informed by white supremacy.
However, for the past week or so I’ve noticed a sizeable resurgence of “an”-caps online. Has anyone else noticed the same? You think they will come back as a means of countering Mamdani and the new rise of DSA into political power?

Elsewhere, settlers fenced off more Palestinian land in the northern Jordan Valley, a move seen as an attempt to prevent farmers from working and to undermine their livelihoods. Meanwhile, in occupied East Jerusalem, settlers continued near-daily incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque, with over 200 entering its courtyards under the protection of Israeli police, the Islamic Waqf Department said. The settlers performed Talmudic prayers and rituals inside the mosque, while Israeli forces stationed outside the gates barred Muslim worshippers from entering.

Iraqi PM al-Sudani’s coalition comes first in parliamentary election
While al-Sudani, who first came to power in 2022, had cast himself as a leader who could turn around Iraq’s fortunes after decades of instability, the poll was marked by disillusionment among weary voters who saw it as a vehicle for established parties to divide Iraq’s oil wealth. Turnout was lower in areas like Baghdad and Najaf after populist Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the Sadrist Movement, called on his vast numbers of supporters to boycott the “flawed election”.

Refugee death toll in the central Mediterranean tops 1,000, UN warns
THE REFUGEE death toll in the central Mediterranean has topped 1,000, the UN’s International Organisation for Migration (IOM) announced today, following another tragic shipwreck off the coast of Libya last week. A rubber boat carrying 49 people left Zuwara, on Libya’s northern coast, on November 3 at 3am. However, six hours later, high waves capsized the boat and threw its passengers overboard.

Reeves has 'manifestly failed' as unemployment jumps to 5%
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported a figure of 5 per cent covering the three months to September - the highest since late 2020. This was up from 4.8 per cent reported last month and a larger leap than economists had predicted, with men worst affected by the shift. Separate HMRC data released by the ONS also showed a 32,000 decline in payrolled employment during October.

Police were still to give details on Tuesday on what caused the explosion near the Indian capital’s historic Red Fort, but officials said that the case had been registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, India’s main “anti-terrorism” law, giving investigators broader powers to detain suspects.

Belgrade protests plan to turn historic NATO bombing site into Kushner luxury hotelOn Tuesday, November 11, protesters converged from across the city and drew a red line around the site’s perimeter to symbolize a promise to defend it. “Today we have performatively shown what we will do in the coming days,” student Valentina Moravčević told Mašina. “We will be a living wall between all those who are trying to demolish these buildings.

Reeves has 'manifestly failed' as unemployment jumps to 5%
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported a figure of 5 per cent covering the three months to September - the highest since late 2020. This was up from 4.8 per cent reported last month and a larger leap than economists had predicted, with men worst affected by the shift. Separate HMRC data released by the ONS also showed a 32,000 decline in payrolled employment during October.

I'm a PhD candidate who actually understands Hegel and has a grasp the broad history/development of left wing thought from Rousseau to Zizek. I'm sick today and remembered this place existed.

I for one take great pleasure in knowing how uncertain people are about their livelihood with EBT cuts. Mind you I'm not conservative, I'm well aware it effects many people young and old, it effects whites and blacks, it effects many who can't find a job even if they wanted too, and at the end of the day it's like 600usd a month and very curated. The reason they spend it at Mcdonalds is because McDonald's has sub contracts with the government to accept EBT but fresh produce does not. Meanwhile they blame the idiot with only 600usd in his name monthly as if he has fuck all influence over the process. He's just here to not die.
But y'all should die. I hate you… However, should you be alive. You should be alive and accelerating me to my perfect vision of no moderators. Part of that is the very crude, very blunt, dark woke language of the Floyd Dollar. I want the first thing these rudimentary assclowns to think of when they think of welfare, is for some fent addicted black man whose just belligerent to every living thing, to be down at the gas station getting the most malign of items possible. Sheeeeiiitttt.
Floyd Dollars would not cover food. Steal food. You'll never steal enough to warrant a felony unless you're my fat boomer parents. It takes a thousand dollars in theft to be a felony. You are not stealing a thousand dollars worth a food. Even if you stole every day, it would only be applicable to that day because of double Jeopardy. Just steal food God damn.
No, Floyd Dollars provide the real essentials. Alcohol, tobacco, guns, and lottery tickets. Maybe drugs too but weed is cucked and I've never met a based pothead. Maybe like heroin. My previous ex was a coke head. She wasn't AS BAD as the potheads just an annoying self-deluded whore. I don't know, but what I do know is I wanted George Floyd to have a gun to fightback against the cop who kneed his neck. So the new snap should cover his self autonomy to defend himself, as well as his self autonomy to not need my program hence he can buy lottery, and self autonomy to want to be alive because life is depressing hence alcohol and tobacco.
Counterstrike Skins and crypto might also be applicable to the Floyd Dollars. It's the same logistical end as why they should be able to get free lottery tickets.
Now I know this will especially piss off the rightoid, because in the off chance a welfare queen does win the lotto, their tax dollars went to improving some sheboon life instead of their own. My counter argument to this part is
1: You didn't actually pay anything. Most people are poorfags and don't actually pay taxes. If they do it's like five dollars worth.
2: I don't care if you feel screwed over and neither do you. You let moderators screw you over. Elon Musk is still alive. Fucker could've been Charlie Kirked and has not been. That's on you. You self loathing freak. If Musk can ban and humiliate you, I can use your tax dollars to save the black man and be their white savior.
3: I don't actually owe an explanation. This is not some cucked social democratic proposition. I'm not a Trotskyist. In this very moment because of a misclick I'm yelling at my screen I will make a bomb out of it if it fucks up again because I know the government can hear me and they need to hear that. Keep your annoying russian saboteur shit to a minimum or something goes kaboom. That also applied to the spell check. Changing it to "like" what am I a fucking TikTok teen saying grape and unalive??? Where the fuck is my TikTok money than? I wouldn't need to be here talking about Floyd Dollars if I was Mr. Beast. So stop "raping" my keystrokes not "graping" with spell check. Also also, I'm not even liable because again…moderators. Also the spell check thing. Like at no juncture do I have any autonomy to what I say or do but some numb nut who doesn't know the law wants say I can't say you should join Isis. Well I did. Fuck you. And mods gotta pay the fedpost fine or else they shouldn't be modding. And it was probably a miscommunication of fucking spell check. So Microsoft should pay too.
What do I get paid? Well that's what Floyd Dollars are for, keep up.
Replace snap entirely

I'll even explain wtf a Floyd Dollar is.I for one take great pleasure in knowing how uncertain people are about their livelihood with EBT cuts.

What's the best way to convince anarchists that power and hierarchy aren't inherently bad?
Anarkids act like they understand theory and sociology better than Marxists do. They love getting on their moral high horse by calling everything "oppression". Yet when you actually pick apart their arguments you'll see that they're full of hot air 95% of the time. They talk a good deal about intersectionality and anti-oppression, but when pressed on how to abolish those oppressive structures in society they have no clue.
Marxism, OTOH, is scientific. We understand that political power is necessary to reshape society. We also understand that hierarchies need to exist until we reach the stage of communism, and even then you will still see things like hierarchies of intelligence, talent, beauty, strength, and so on that can't simply be abolished through idealist methods.
But how do you explain this without looking like you're making apologia for oppression? I've tried the Hegelian way of simply saying "the real is rational" but that doesn't get through anarkids' heads very well.

Water levels below 3% in dam reservoirs for Iran’s second city, say reports
Authorities in Tehran warned over the weekend of possible rolling cuts to water supplies in the capital amid what officials call the worst drought in decades. The Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, has cautioned that without rainfall before winter, even Tehran could face evacuation. In the capital, five major dams supplying drinking water are at “critical” levels, with one empty and another at less than 8% of capacity, officials say.

Beirut also worries that Israel will keep moving the goalposts, creating a permanent risk of escalatory strikes and undermining attempts to stabilise a country battered by geopolitical and economic upheavals, the security officials and a political official said.

Bulacan residents mark initial victory for PrimeWater contract termination
The Water for the People Network (WPN) lauded the residents of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan on November 3 for successfully terminating the joint venture agreement (JVA) between their local water district (LWD) and PrimeWater. The decision resulted from the broad and relentless struggle of the Alliance for Consumer Protection, the People’s Rights Network, and the residents who opposed water services privatization. Despite the JVA’s complete termination, residents know that the fight is not yet over. None of the 15 LWDs that sought to end their contracts with PrimeWater this year have successfully withdrawn from the company.

Beirut also worries that Israel will keep moving the goalposts, creating a permanent risk of escalatory strikes and undermining attempts to stabilise a country battered by geopolitical and economic upheavals, the security officials and a political official said.

Bulacan residents mark initial victory for PrimeWater contract termination
The Water for the People Network (WPN) lauded the residents of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan on November 3 for successfully terminating the joint venture agreement (JVA) between their local water district (LWD) and PrimeWater. The decision resulted from the broad and relentless struggle of the Alliance for Consumer Protection, the People’s Rights Network, and the residents who opposed water services privatization. Despite the JVA’s complete termination, residents know that the fight is not yet over. None of the 15 LWDs that sought to end their contracts with PrimeWater this year have successfully withdrawn from the company.

New Delhi police detain dozens in anti-pollution protests
Indian police detained dozens of people during a rare protest at the famed India Gate monument in New Delhi demanding action to curb an annual scourge of toxic air swathing the capital and its surrounding region. Sunday's protest by crowds of all ages holding banners and chanting slogans before police bundled them away was a scarce event, even though Delhi and the national capital region have battled such fumes every winter for years.

Australian welfare recipients far below the poverty line
The report shows that 3.7 million people, or 14.2 percent of the population, were living in poverty in 2022–23. This includes 757,000 children, many from single-parent households, who are among the most at risk. The report uses the Melbourne Institute’s “poverty line” calculation, based on 50 percent of median household after-tax income: $584 per week for a single adult, or $1,226 a week for a couple with two children.

Terrorist turf war battle in north-eastern Nigeria leaves about 200 dead
The fighting between Boko Haram and rival militants from Islamic State West Africa Province (Iswap) broke out over the weekend in the village of Dogon Chiku, which lies on the shores of Lake Chad, a restive area located at the junction of Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon. The lake’s riverine corridors serve as operational zones for jihadists who also bank on revenues from taxing fishers, loggers and herders.

The capitalist class operates with little regard for borders, a fluidity it leverages to its advantage. The entire United States functions as a network of neocolonies—these states host governments that do not represent their people, but rather the corporations that operate within them. The majority of the population is exploited within this system; in fact, only a privileged 10% truly benefit from the capitalist-imperialist economy.
Beneath this broadly exploited class lies a layer of the hyper-exploited, who form the core source of slave labor for this anti-life regime. This super-exploitation is manufactured along racial, gender, and other lines, a deliberate construct of capitalism's superstructure. The rise of a hyper-militarized "War from Within," waged by agencies like ICE, makes this brutally clear. Hispanic people—and by extension, Indigenous people, as the term "Hispanic" is itself a colonizer label invented in the 1970s to impose a European (Spanish) heritage—are primary targets. Even the spectacle of Proud Boys leaders who identify as Hispanic cannot obscure this systemic reality; it only reiterates the haunting contradictions we must confront.
This pattern is rooted in an unfinished past. The first American Revolution of 1776 was ultimately a war over which faction of the capitalist class would control the colonies. While it included a small but notable faction of true people's revolutionaries—figures like Thomas Paine, who argued for abolishing slavery from the outset—they failed. Their defeat meant the people's revolution was never completed.
Therefore, we are not simply communists or anarchists, though we may be influenced by both. We are abolitionists. Our purpose is to finish that people's revolution and free this land from capital's control.
This struggle did not begin with us, nor did it pause after 1776. It is a continuous thread woven through this land's history: in the pan-tribal resistance led by Tecumseh, in the stunning victory of Indigenous nations at the Battle of Little Bighorn, in the bloody righteousness of Nat Turner’s rebellion, and in John Brown’s holy war against chattel slavery. The Civil War itself contained revolutionary, abolitionist currents that were ultimately subverted by capital, which traded chattel slavery for the prison of sharecropping and Jim Crow.
This tradition of people's war was carried into the industrial era by the IWW, which waged a protracted struggle from the 1880s to the 1930s. They were ultimately squashed not just by state violence, but by the betrayal of turncoat communists within the CPUSA and other factions that chose alignment with social democrats over revolutionary solidarity.
Even the global fight against fascism in WWII was subverted. While millions fought with an anti-fascist spirit, American corporations had fueled Hitler's rise, and after the war, the state imported Nazi scientists via Operation Paperclip, integrating their expertise into the U.S. military-industrial complex. Remember the Business Plot of 1933, where financiers attempted a fascist coup against FDR; though it failed, its architects remained in positions of immense power.
The central problem has always been the strategic separation of perspectives through intentional racial division, a tactic solidified after Bacon's Rebellion. That rebellion was a prototype, unifying black and white workers to such a degree that the ruling class was forced to invent the concept of "whiteness" and codify chattel slavery to shatter that solidarity.
We can view this entire history through a hauntological lens: If Bacon's Rebellion achieved that much, we must imagine the lost future where that alliance also united with the native tribes, successfully ousting the private landed gentry. That ghost of a future, which was stolen from us, holds the key to the future we can still inherit.
It has been 533 years since Columbus landed on Turtle Island in search of trade, gold, and markets; 406 years since the first person of African descent was brought to these shores in bondage; 350 years since Bacon's Rebellion; and 250 years since the capitalist class subverted the revolutionary currents of 1776—the pattern of division becomes starkly visible across the centuries.
The central, enduring problem of American history has been the strategic separation of perspectives through intentional racial division, a tactic systematically codified in the wake of Bacon's Rebellion. That uprising was a fiery prototype of class solidarity, unifying enslaved Africans, European indentured servants, and landless freemen to such a dangerous degree that the terrified ruling class was forced to engineer a social solution: they invented the legal and social concept of "whiteness" and hardened the system of hereditary chattel slavery specifically to shatter that multiracial solidarity. This was the "counter-revolution of 1676," a preemptive strike against a people's revolution that has shaped all that followed.
We must therefore view this entire history through a hauntological lens. We are haunted by the futures that were stolen from us. If the pursuit of trade and gold 533 years ago initiated this cycle of extraction and division, and if the solidarity glimpsed 350 years ago in Bacon's Rebellion was so potent it required a new system of apartheid to contain it, then we must actively imagine the lost future where that rebel alliance also united with the native tribes whose land was the rebellion's initial object. Imagine a future where that coalition—of the enslaved, the indentured, the landless, and the indigenous—successfully ousted the private landed gentry and built a society on a foundation of mutual interest, not racial capitalism.
That ghost of a future, a possibility born 350 years ago and suppressed ever since, is a key. It unlocks the understanding that our present is built on a foundation of deliberately fractured solidarity. We are recovering a roadmap to the future we were denied, a future that, in recognizing its own stolen potential, we can still choose to inherit.

It's old news that fascism is on the rise but I can't be the only one that is suspecting there's a deliberate push by social media companies at this point? Twitter might be obvious but I'm also seeing more and more things on places like youtube getting tons of views that wouldn't have been allowed to stay up a couple years ago, picrel for example.

To achieve an international Socialist rule, we must ensure a full dedication to the party and it's objectives. Personal relationships that leech funds, attention, and dedication to the party must be destroyed by the individual internally to achieve an unwavering dedication to the proletariat. We've seen countless times in organizations that sexuality have led to the destruction of the individuals in power, Haz, Hasan, Maupin, MikefromPA, their downfall and degeneration? Falling from Marxist ideals in favor of dedication to sexual conquest.

Following economist Jacques Sapir, Camfield characterizes AES regimes as “mobilization economies,” in which the state mobilized “all available resources, on a non-commercial basis.” The regimes prioritized the geopolitical interests of their respective party-state bureaucracies by imposing distinct forms of “state capitalism.”
While Camfield’s “reconstructed historical materialist” analysis and lessons he draws for the Left are mostly spot-on, his use of state capitalism as a framework to understand AES is less convincing. In this review, I will briefly summarize Camfield’s central arguments about AES before discussing their broader theoretical and political implications.
Why wasn’t AES socialism?
Camfield locates the renewed interest in AES regimes in anti-anticommunism. Since Western anticommunists (of liberal and conservative variants) have equated communism with fascism, the decline of the neoliberal consensus that followed the Soviet Union’s collapse paved the way for the revival of anti-anticommunism.
Camfield argues this tendency grew among certain Maoist currents in the 1960s’ New Left and has become more prominent as the disillusionment with neoliberal capitalism has led many to a search for alternatives in recent years. Anti-anticommunists’ nostalgic embrace of rival regimes to Western capitalism (including AES regimes, but often other developmentalist regimes too) raises real problems for the socialist left today as apologism for class oppression under AES regimes becomes more widespread.
Contrary to the claims of their proponents, the bureaucratic one-party regimes governing AES societies never aimed for democratic workers’ control or the abolition of exploitation and oppression. Camfield shows how workers experienced forms of political and economic domination under state managers who pursued economic goals that mimicked capitalist growth.
However, in the aftermath of rapid industrialization campaigns and wartime mobilizations, the AES command/mobilization economies experienced technical stagnation that made it difficult to develop the productivity of labor. This dynamic made it increasingly difficult for them to both maintain the social provisions they created during revolutionary upsurges (education, housing, health care) and compete militarily with capitalist empires. The survival of the redistributionist policies, as well as their episodic anti-imperialist campaigns, was contingent on their contribution to the survival of ruling party-state bureaucracies that overwhelmingly adopted capitalist methods of production in the face of stagnation.
Out of the three regimes discussed in Red Flags, only the revolutionary Russian state briefly embraced the goal of initiating a genuine communist transformation. After the fall of tsarism in February 1917, soviets (democratic workplace councils) seized power from a weak provisional government by October of that year. But the viability of the Bolshevik-led soviet regime depended on support from Russia’s small-peasant majority and, more crucially, an anticipated communist revolution in the more economically advanced Germany. When the German workers’ revolution failed, and the Russian Civil War depleted the ranks of Bolsheviks, Soviet democracy collapsed. By the end of the war, the soviets had become a bureaucratic extension of the party-state led by the Communist Party.
To stabilize a war-torn economy, the Bolsheviks introduced pro-market reforms under the New Economic Policy. After Vladimir Lenin’s death, Joseph Stalin’s “socialism in one country” faction seized control through a power struggle within the party, and repressed dissident factions by intensifying the political persecution that had commenced during the Civil War.
The 1928 “Great Break” launched waves of forced collectivization of land, rapid industrialization, and mass relocations, resulting in millions of deaths. “The first example in history of a government seeking to transform an entire economy and society through planned action by the state,” was driven by a perceived threat of war and a grain procurement crisis. While labor remained decommodified and workers held some leverage due to the absence of urban unemployment, workers remained alienated from their labor and the state, as they were compelled to pursue state economic targets and were banned from advocating for their interests through independent organizations. After World War II, as economic growth stalled, and decades of reforms failed to resolve this stagnation, the party-state gradually embraced a broader capitalist restructuring.
Stalin’s crash program of industrialization featured projects like the construction of the Dnieper hydroelectric station in 1931. Image author unknown.
Camfield shows that China and Cuba had even weaker ties to the goal of workers’ self-emancipation. The Communist Party of China, founded in 1921, initially aligned with the nationalist Guomindang regime under the Stalinist Comintern’s directives, but the party reoriented to a rural guerrilla strategy after the massacre of Communists in 1927. During its temporary reunion with the Guomindang against the genocidal Japanese invasion in the 1930s and 1940s, the party’s ranks swelled, allowing it to successfully defeat the weakened Guomindang after the war, despite Comintern efforts to force the two into coalition.
Although the Communist Party had broad support among the peasant majority after the People’s Republic of China was established in 1949, its path to power through conventional warfare meant democratic workers’ control was never on the table. While private enterprise was initially tolerated, the party adopted a mobilization economy in the early 1950s. Five-year plans and the Great Leap Forward led to famine and tens of millions of deaths as collectivization of land and industrialization were ramped up.
Mounting internal fractures drove Mao Zedong to launch the Cultural Revolution to reassert control in the 1960s, resulting in more violence and mass death. After Mao’s death in 1976, Deng Xiaoping began to phase out market restrictions while retaining an authoritarian one-party regime. Institutions like the hukou system, which restricts worker mobility between districts, kept labor cheap and disciplined, enabling a gradual privatization of land and state-owned enterprises alongside economic integration into Western markets. By the 1990s, China had become a global industrial hub, fostering a new capitalist elite while maintaining the Communist Party’s monopoly on state power.
[The] party-state regimes [of China and Cuba] emerged from revolutionary and anti-imperialist upheavals but rapidly subordinated popular forms of democratic control to geopolitical imperatives.
Cuba’s trajectory mirrored some of the same patterns as China, but without a path toward full economic independence. After centuries of Spanish colonialism and decades of U.S.-backed dictatorship under Fulgencio Batista, the July 26th Movement led by Fidel Castro overthrew Batista in 1959. While revolution enjoyed mass support in Cuba, the movement’s strategy was rooted in a struggle for anti-imperialist national liberation, not democratic workers’ control.
Under pressure from U.S. aggression, the regime aligned with the Soviet Union and became a party-state with a mobilization economy by 1965. While education and healthcare were modernized, industrialization never fully took off. This meant a political-economic dependency, enabling the suppression of independent unions, grassroots organizations, and dissent against the party-state. After the Soviet Union collapsed, Cuba turned to market reforms to survive, but only managed to foster a small private sector while seeing many social protections eroded under budget pressures.
As Camfield clearly shows, these party-state regimes emerged from revolutionary and anti-imperialist upheavals but rapidly subordinated popular forms of democratic control to geopolitical imperatives. While workers’ democracy in Russia collapsed under civil war and geopolitical isolation, leading to a bureaucratic apparatus that ultimately imploded, in China and Cuba revolutions rooted in peasant mobilization and nationalist resistance led to party-states that consolidated power without providing mechanisms for democratic workers’ control. A shared disavowal of proletarian agency in favor of bureaucratic command, justified by geopolitical and economic pressures, unified these regimes’ paths to eventual embrace of capitalistic economic goals, whatever socialist coloring they used to justify their policies.
State capitalism?
Camfield identifies the mode of production as “state capitalism,” while suggesting that, more important than this terminology is the fact that actually existing socialism “involves class exploitation, is not in transition to communism, and is neither qualitatively superior to nor worse than capitalism.”
At its core, though, labeling these systems as capitalist rests on an overly formalistic interpretation, defining capitalism merely by the presence of wage labor, accumulation, and industrialization. This approach, however, sidelines Karl Marx’s understanding of capitalism’s historical specificity: the pervasive dominance of abstract labor and the subordination of use-value production to value production. These dynamics only become possible under the “dull compulsion” of markets, where workers must sell their labor-power to survive, and enterprises must sell commodities profitably to avoid collapse.
Camfield’s assertion that AES regimes were capitalist, though distortedly so, fails to account for their fundamental lack of market-dependent classes, the absence of generalized commodity production and capitalist crises. While it is true that the growth in the production of goods and services slowed throughout the 1960s-70s in the USSR, roughly parallel to trends in the world economy, this does not mean that economic crises of AES are capitalist. Although labor-power might have been formally commodified and managed to improve productivity relative to Western standards, it was not disciplined by the threat of unemployment or market competition. Camfield acknowledges this (52) but does not clarify how then economic crises under AES could be capitalist.
This is important because it was these systems’ inherent inability to sustain productivity growth in the absence of market imperatives that triggered collapse or capitalist transition, not capitalist crises of profitability. Surplus labor was extracted through the direct administrative command and juridical control exercised by the party-state, not the dull compulsion of the market. While Camfield states that the size of the Soviet “military industrial complex” and “the structure of the bureaucratically directed mobilization economy” drove USSR’s stagnation and its inability to take advantage of the productivity boost provided to the West by neoliberalism, he does not clarify why the absence of capitalist crises, or the presence of state forms of domination over market ones are not indicators of a distinct mode of production.
In lieu of “state capitalism,” the notion of state collectivism offers a more coherent and analytically precise alternative. It recognizes the bureaucratic party-state’s monopolistic control over surplus appropriation without erroneously importing capitalist dynamics where they did not genuinely exist. The party-state’s command over the economy, while effective during early stages of industrialization, proved incapable of sustaining developmental momentum without restructuring to introduce and prioritize the growth of capitalist markets instead of the state bureaucracy.
The question of communist transition
The key question for the Left, however, is not just a theoretical one on the transition from one mode of production to another. It is about forms of democratic organization that can withstand and overcome capitalist sieges in moments of upsurge. As Camfield argues, communism is the project of subordinating economic and political power and all aspects of everyday life to democratic control. Yet, the antidemocratic culture of the Communist Parties of actually existing socialism went beyond their embrace of labor exploitation.
State repression in these regimes helped crystallize forms of racial and gender-based oppression while legitimizing imperialist domination abroad. Camfield shows how the women’s movements’ initial gains in revolutionary moments were undermined by the reimposition of patriarchal laws later. LGBT+ people experienced similar forms of repression in all three Communist regimes discussed in Red Flags.
In the Soviet Union and China, minority populations were systematically subjected to forced dispossession and labor, coerced assimilation, and militarized surveillance. In Cuba, racism against Afro-Cubans also persisted, though in less repressive forms. The international solidarity of these regimes displayed has also been a matter of realpolitik, often sacrificing Communist and anti-imperialist movements in alliances with so-called progressive capitalist blocs against fascism.
AES regimes were coercive, however, not only because of their structures, but because of the pressures imposed on them by a hostile world system. Embargoes, sabotage, war, and isolation these regimes faced favored militarization, centralization of power, and the suppression of dissent in the name of survival. To centralize power and defend their revolutions, these regimes often massacred mass democratic movements that made their societies revolutionary in the first place. Camfield insists that the communist horizon today must be grounded in a conception of abundance, not based on state quotas attained through repression and exploitation, but one based on the guarantee that no one’s existence depends on hierarchy or deprivation.
In this light, the key task of communist transition is building democratic working-class organizations that can withstand domestic and imperialist pressures. As Camfield reminds us history is not predetermined, and the question of how democratic working class movements can seize political ruptures rather than letting them harden into authoritarian structures remains alive. A successful communist transition requires democratic working-class organizations to not just crush state or market-based forms of domination, but to also simultaneously transform state machinery to withstand a capitalist siege that will encourage militarization and authoritarian tendencies.
Camfield argues that the Left must [foster] revolutionary politics democratically accountable to movements from below, not insulated astroturf vanguards.
The Left’s main advantage today, relative to communists of the last century, is that capitalism has already created unprecedented global interdependence of labor and technology, and therefore also the material basis for international democratic planning. Camfield builds on this insight and communist thinkers’ works on the transition socialism to argue that workers’ democracy can only politically and militarily defeat capitalist empires through world revolution.
The tradition of anti-Stalinist communism Camfield builds on emerged in response to Stalin’s rise to power and against his notion of socialism in one country, enduring against dominant Communist currents under state repression, right-wing violence, and competition with official Communist parties. Camfield roots this tradition in the ideas of Marx, Frederick Engels, and William Morris, who emphasized the importance of working-class self-emancipation and democratic control. Rosa Luxemburg also embraced the same ideas in rejecting bureaucratic rule of party elites, particularly in the context of the Russian Revolution.
Other anti-Stalinist Marxist currents, including some Trotskyist currents that shape Tempest politics, have also advocated for democracy from below, working-class internationalism, and revolution against both capitalists and the bureaucratic rulers of actually existing socialism. However, in the place of a programmatic approach, Camfield leaves the reader with fragments of guiding principles and historical experience from the works of these thinkers that provide some direction but without enough clarity.
Camfield argues that the Left must recover the spirit of mass participation and proletarian internationalism that animated early revolutionary struggles, while soberly learning from authoritarian regressions of actually existing socialism. This means fostering revolutionary politics democratically accountable to movements from below, not insulated astroturf vanguards. It also means rethinking how revolutionary movements can build power across borders to avoid the fortress conditions of embattled socialist states. While Red Flags offers a compelling case for rejecting actually existing socialism as a model for communist transition, it only partially answers the strategic questions of how to construct a truly democratic and resilient revolutionary movement.
Nevertheless, Camfield argues that the failures of the socialist regimes of the last century should not lead to cynicism or fatalism. A renewed commitment to emancipatory politics, one not nostalgic for the past, but oriented toward a future in which collective democratic struggles for communist liberation can win genuine liberation. We still have nothing to lose but our chains and a world to win.
Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, communist political currents aligned with the Marxist-Leninist regimes in Russia, China, and elsewhere have experienced major decline. Nevertheless, in recent years, organizations like the Communist Party USA and Party for Socialism and Liberation have experienced a modest resurgence through their involvement in antiwar movements, Black Lives Matter, the Palestinian liberation movement, and a growing online left media ecosystem.
This resurgence has contributed to an uncritical embrace of so-called actually existing socialism (AES) as a model for communist transition among a new layer of radicals and Marxists. U.S. leftists, disillusioned with crumbling public infrastructure and privatized welfare states, often view the rapid modernization of state institutions and provision of universal social services under these states as a meaningful alternative to the alienation of exploitation of capitalism.
The support of self-identified socialist states for some anti-imperialist movements and economic development projects in the Global South also position these regimes as adversaries of imperial dominance by the Global North, especially the United States. The relative weakness of anti-imperialist movements in the West provides fertile ground for a mythical glorification of these regimes’ otherwise inconsistent anti-imperialist record. But the contemporary reimagining of AES through developmentalist, redistributionist, and anti-imperialist lenses obscures the forms of class domination and oppression in these societies.

“Actually existing socialism” and the communist transition
David Camfield’s new book, Red Flags: A Reckoning with Communism for the Future of the Left, is a concise and insightful intervention into the renewed debates on the legacy of AES. Red Flags analyzes the revolutionary transformations that shaped the unique forms of class rule in the Soviet Union, People’s Republic of China, and Cuba in order to demolish anticommunist and “anti-anticommunist mythologies surrounding these societies.Following economist Jacques Sapir, Camfield characterizes AES regimes as “mobilization economies,” in which the state mobilized “all available resources, on a non-commercial basis.” The regimes prioritized the geopolitical interests of their respective party-state bureaucracies by imposing distinct forms of “state capitalism.”
While Camfield’s “reconstructed historical materialist” analysis and lessons he draws for the Left are mostly spot-on, his use of state capitalism as a framework to understand AES is less convincing. In this review, I will briefly summarize Camfield’s central arguments about AES before discussing their broader theoretical and political implications.
Why wasn’t AES socialism?
Camfield locates the renewed interest in AES regimes in anti-anticommunism. Since Western anticommunists (of liberal and conservative variants) have equated communism with fascism, the decline of the neoliberal consensus that followed the Soviet Union’s collapse paved the way for the revival of anti-anticommunism.
Camfield argues this tendency grew among certain Maoist currents in the 1960s’ New Left and has become more prominent as the disillusionment with neoliberal capitalism has led many to a search for alternatives in recent years. Anti-anticommunists’ nostalgic embrace of rival regimes to Western capitalism (including AES regimes, but often other developmentalist regimes too) raises real problems for the socialist left today as apologism for class oppression under AES regimes becomes more widespread.
Contrary to the claims of their proponents, the bureaucratic one-party regimes governing AES societies never aimed for democratic workers’ control or the abolition of exploitation and oppression. Camfield shows how workers experienced forms of political and economic domination under state managers who pursued economic goals that mimicked capitalist growth.
However, in the aftermath of rapid industrialization campaigns and wartime mobilizations, the AES command/mobilization economies experienced technical stagnation that made it difficult to develop the productivity of labor. This dynamic made it increasingly difficult for them to both maintain the social provisions they created during revolutionary upsurges (education, housing, health care) and compete militarily with capitalist empires. The survival of the redistributionist policies, as well as their episodic anti-imperialist campaigns, was contingent on their contribution to the survival of ruling party-state bureaucracies that overwhelmingly adopted capitalist methods of production in the face of stagnation.
Out of the three regimes discussed in Red Flags, only the revolutionary Russian state briefly embraced the goal of initiating a genuine communist transformation. After the fall of tsarism in February 1917, soviets (democratic workplace councils) seized power from a weak provisional government by October of that year. But the viability of the Bolshevik-led soviet regime depended on support from Russia’s small-peasant majority and, more crucially, an anticipated communist revolution in the more economically advanced Germany. When the German workers’ revolution failed, and the Russian Civil War depleted the ranks of Bolsheviks, Soviet democracy collapsed. By the end of the war, the soviets had become a bureaucratic extension of the party-state led by the Communist Party.
To stabilize a war-torn economy, the Bolsheviks introduced pro-market reforms under the New Economic Policy. After Vladimir Lenin’s death, Joseph Stalin’s “socialism in one country” faction seized control through a power struggle within the party, and repressed dissident factions by intensifying the political persecution that had commenced during the Civil War.
The 1928 “Great Break” launched waves of forced collectivization of land, rapid industrialization, and mass relocations, resulting in millions of deaths. “The first example in history of a government seeking to transform an entire economy and society through planned action by the state,” was driven by a perceived threat of war and a grain procurement crisis. While labor remained decommodified and workers held some leverage due to the absence of urban unemployment, workers remained alienated from their labor and the state, as they were compelled to pursue state economic targets and were banned from advocating for their interests through independent organizations. After World War II, as economic growth stalled, and decades of reforms failed to resolve this stagnation, the party-state gradually embraced a broader capitalist restructuring.
Stalin’s crash program of industrialization featured projects like the construction of the Dnieper hydroelectric station in 1931. Image author unknown.
Camfield shows that China and Cuba had even weaker ties to the goal of workers’ self-emancipation. The Communist Party of China, founded in 1921, initially aligned with the nationalist Guomindang regime under the Stalinist Comintern’s directives, but the party reoriented to a rural guerrilla strategy after the massacre of Communists in 1927. During its temporary reunion with the Guomindang against the genocidal Japanese invasion in the 1930s and 1940s, the party’s ranks swelled, allowing it to successfully defeat the weakened Guomindang after the war, despite Comintern efforts to force the two into coalition.
Although the Communist Party had broad support among the peasant majority after the People’s Republic of China was established in 1949, its path to power through conventional warfare meant democratic workers’ control was never on the table. While private enterprise was initially tolerated, the party adopted a mobilization economy in the early 1950s. Five-year plans and the Great Leap Forward led to famine and tens of millions of deaths as collectivization of land and industrialization were ramped up.
Mounting internal fractures drove Mao Zedong to launch the Cultural Revolution to reassert control in the 1960s, resulting in more violence and mass death. After Mao’s death in 1976, Deng Xiaoping began to phase out market restrictions while retaining an authoritarian one-party regime. Institutions like the hukou system, which restricts worker mobility between districts, kept labor cheap and disciplined, enabling a gradual privatization of land and state-owned enterprises alongside economic integration into Western markets. By the 1990s, China had become a global industrial hub, fostering a new capitalist elite while maintaining the Communist Party’s monopoly on state power.
[The] party-state regimes [of China and Cuba] emerged from revolutionary and anti-imperialist upheavals but rapidly subordinated popular forms of democratic control to geopolitical imperatives.
Cuba’s trajectory mirrored some of the same patterns as China, but without a path toward full economic independence.

He even modified his will, leaving a large part of his property to a Prussian fund that helped soldiers who became invalids while fighting rebellion in 1848 or the families of soldiers who died in battle.Ah, so he was actively reactionary, as his class position, and his actions to defend his class position reveal.

melting into air?
marx's statement that "everything melts into air" and "everything holy is profaned" under capitalist relations appears to be completely false. in all reality, capitalism has given us the most conservative, religious and superstitious era in all humanity. we are not more enlightened than the ancients and history does not resemble social progress.

For me, when it comes to "big commie theorists," it is an enjoyable case of dialectics within dialectics. Can anyone relate? Do you understand?
So far I've read 3 books on the aforementioned gentlemen, detailing their "change of hearts:"
1) Engels & Marx changing their opinions gradually on the colonialism/imperialism question, recognizing the reality of the labour aristocracy, and so on. (.pdf related #1)
2) Marx & Engels becoming anti-humanists, divorcing their humanist (Hegelian) backgrounds. (.pdf related #2)
3) Lenin changing from socdem to bolshevik (.pdf related #3)

Tanzania police arrest senior opposition party official after deadly protests, target others
Police in Tanzania arrested a senior official from opposition party CHADEMA on Saturday and authorities named nine others being sought in relation to violent protests that followed last week's elections. CHADEMA and some human rights activists say that security forces killed more than 1,000 people. The government has called those numbers exaggerated without offering its own death toll.

Civil rescue groups in Mediterranean cut ties with Libyan coastguard
The 13 search-and-rescue organisations described their decision as a rejection of mounting pressure by the EU, and Italy in particular, to share information with the Libyan coastguard, which receives training, equipment and funding from the EU. In an effort to reduce the number of people arriving in Europe, the EU has long faced accusations of ignoring widespread abuse and systematic human rights violations against people in Libya.

Changes to windfall tax could see oil and gas giants handed billions
Proposals drafted by oil and gas lobby group Offshore Energies UK suggest removing the Energy Profits Levy at the end of this year, which would save the industry a mammoth £5.8bn in tax over the next decade. Politico, which first reported the story, said that the Treasury was weighing up energy bosses’ proposals to scrap the tax as soon as next year.

Indigenous Guatemalans denounce exploitation on Mexican farms: ‘Bananas are worth more than us’
The practice of bringing Guatemalan laborers to work in Chiapas is a long-standing one. And there are two ways to do it. The first is through legal channels established in Article 52 of the Mexican Migration Law, which allows those living in Guatemalan border states to obtain temporary permits to work only in the southern states of Mexico. The other involves people known as “coyotes.” They drive to the Indigenous or peasant villages of northern Guatemala in trucks, recruiting manual laborers to work in southern Mexico for three or four months at a time.

Bolivia: Arce blasts Evo in farewell message
“From a political point of view, I am convinced that there was no greater error from all actors than the division of the political instrument, the division of the MAS-IPSP… all and every one of the actors should have strived more to preserve unity,” Arce asserted. His failure to seek a new presidential candidacy, he claimed, was precisely to preserve this unity, but the effort was in vain. He lamented that internal disputes quickly went public and lost all ideological orientation, reaching a point where some factions “preferred to make a pact with the right wing.”

Myanmar Military Proxy Party Close to Ultranationalists, Admits USDP Naypyitaw Chief
Ma Ba Tha is a Burmese acronym for the Association for the Protection of Race and Religion, a Buddhist ultranationalist group founded under the USDP regime in 2012. It quickly became notorious for inciting communal tensions by organizing anti-Islam protests including boycotts of Muslim-owned businesses. The group also successively lobbied USDP president Thein Sein to pass laws on race and religion that appeared to target Muslims by imposing restrictions on interfaith marriage, childbirth, polygamy, and conversion. Hla Swe attempted to draw a parallel between Myanmar’s military rule and democratically elected right-wing governments elsewhere.

FTL Time Travel Future
The relativity of time is not just a reason we cannot "travel in space and make it back", it is a utility that can be used to preserve the subjects to travel in FTL speed or even a beam me up scotty wormhole and calculate a journey back to skip time whilst preserving their own biological clocks. In other words indeed a person that is 25 in 2025 may go to another place in space through FTL travel and come back only to see the Earth is gone despite still being 25 years old biologically, but in the same manner if the journey is calculated the subject can effectively skip time for a set period of hundreds of years and if there is hope in development may return to live and benefit from the fruits of it in the future's availed life extension technology if humanity proves successful in not destroying itself, if it does destroy itself. It is effectively time travel into the future and thus any persons who wish to see if the species will succeed and live to see it or live to see if it has been insufficient and unworthy they may be able to do that through space travel. We currently do not possess FTL travel or wormholes, but it is simply the easiest way to be able to time travel into the future. With the development of AI a ship could be able to decide its own course and trajectory safely and be able to calculate how to return, all that is needed is research on the method for propelling and the type of energy consumption and materials needed to be able to initiate FTL, to which particle accelerators may hold an answer to that.

What’s stopping China from helping Detroit?
Think about it. China does foreign policy based on sift power rather than militarism or blackmail. China builds hospitals in Mali in exchange for good, rather than invading and seizing the gold for themselves. China is the reason hundreds of millions of people in Africa have electricity and running water, right? If China can do this, why aren’t they stepping in and helping Detroit rebuild?
China could fund mass construction projects. Build housing all over Detroit that resembles housing in Chinese cities. Build a functioning metro/train system. Build more hospitals. Build better schools that look like wonder museums rather than prisons. Build urban farms to fix the food desert issue. Give Detroit the latest and greatest tech. Bring back millions of jobs. Why not?
China turns shitholes into functioning cities. Just compare their cities from 37 years ago to their cities now. They could easily do the same for Detroit. Trump Administration be damned. Just get the mayor of Detroit to form a working relationship with Xi and the CPC and watch things happen.

Holy fuck, just stop consolidating power and work *with* local leadership
There is no single case of political leadership ever remaining stable under any centralized force no matter what country where talking. The most stable societies have always worked with the local leaders of various regions and had the majority of administrative and bureaucratic work delegated to small collaborative teams of men and women working together to build a stabler society. Is decentralized authority slow and often inefficient? Yeah. Is it stable and otherwise reliable on steady civilizational progress? Yes. With the era of communication, paper, and digital communication, it’s a better era than ever to decentralize authority. The world doesnt need and never needed autocrats, aristocracies, strongmen, dictators, or oligarchs. We need a society of people working and talking to each other consistently on what to do to make life easier for one another.

Modern Marxist Economics

R: 0 / I: 0
Why is the October Revolution more important than other communist revolutions?
Because it is, next to the Paris Commune, the only communist revolution whose revolutionary subject was the industrial proletariat. This fact alone makes the October Revolution—its tactics, theory, and organization—more interesting and more important to us than any other. It was the first communist revolution led by the industrial proletariat that also held on to state power and defeated the bourgeois counterrevolution. It signaled that imperialism—the last stage of capitalism—was obsolete as a mode of production and ripe to be replaced by socialist organization.
Contrary to what both Soviet/socialist and American/bourgeois historians claim, the most important distinction between Leninism and what we may call German Social Democracy (the SPD)—that is, the Second International and official Marxism—is not that Leninism was a “deviation” based on Narodnik or Blanquist conspiratorial principles. These historians claim that Leninism insisted the revolution must be led by a professional, highly organized vanguard—that it meant conspiracy rather than open democratic struggle through parliamentary interpellation and mass agitation or propaganda via the large and complex press system perfected by the German SPD.
This claim arises from a one-sided, forced reading of one of Lenin’s writings, namely What Is to Be Done? It is wrongly treated as the (or even the) central Leninist “credo,” according to which the proletariat is supposedly incapable of leading the revolution or fulfilling the slogan “the emancipation of the working class must be the act of the working class itself.” Thus, Lenin is falsely accused of introducing the “professional revolutionary” who performs the socialist revolution on behalf of the working class.
Yet if we look at Lenin’s writings before WITBD, his constant reference point was the Erfurt Programme, the gold standard of Marxist strategy at the turn of the century. Lenin wanted the merger of the existing embryonic workers’ movement with Social Democracy—so that it might reach maturity as quickly and with as few birth pangs as possible. The SPD had a highly centralized apparatus that could rapidly publish agitation pamphlets, newspapers, or books exposing scandals from bourgeois political life and injustices from workers’ everyday conditions. The German workers’ movement and German Social Democracy were merged into a coherent whole, despite the obvious contradictions between them. Lenin wanted to emulate this in Russia—but what was lacking was political freedom.
Recall what you will about Tsarist autocracy, but I hope I don’t have to convince you there was no political freedom in Russia. Lenin’s, that is, Iskra’s, call to battle was for political freedom—which to the proletariat is like air and sunshine.
Lenin wanted to build the conditions so that once political freedom was attained (meaning the abolition of the Tsarist autocracy), Russian Social Democrats would be ready to lead the emerging workers’ movement to full maturity. Once political freedom arrived, the workers’ movement could become the most powerful social force—ready to carry out a two-phase revolution, moving from a bourgeois republic to socialism (an idea, mind you, also accepted in some form by the Mensheviks). The autocracy might collapse “tomorrow,” and if “we, the Social Democrats,” did not get our act together right now, this inevitable transition to socialism could become “so much worse for the working class.”
So how did the Russian socialist intellectual movement build its grand narrative for the project of Russian Social Democracy? Lenin was an Erfurtian: he upheld the Erfurt Programme and sought to build the preconditions for the working class to orient its actions along those lines. To do this, the good news of the inevitable fall of the autocracy had to be spread everywhere; the revolutionary position of the working class had to be explained constantly; worker propaganda and agitation had to be continuous so that the movement could grow.
At the same time, every injustice committed against every class had to be exposed—and, in exposing them, it had to be shown that the only way to abolish them was by accepting the socialist revolution with the working class at its helm, now imbued with Social Democratic mass action. This could take the form of a newspaper, correspondence, or any kind of illegal workers’ organization, which were sprouting like mushrooms after rain during the 1900s. As industrialization deepened, so too did injustice. Russian Social Democrats united all these singular injustices into one: the overarching injustice of the autocracy itself—and they proclaimed that only one class could abolish it, the proletariat.
What does this mean for us now?
To revive Lenin’s spirit of political agitation means constructing our own tribunes of the people: disciplined, collective, tireless networks that link every workplace and neighborhood grievance to the total system of exploitation. It means restoring the moral grandeur of socialist politics—showing that we fight not just for wages, but for the soul of the whole people.
Lenin’s wager, as Lih shows, was on the intelligence of the masses. He believed that once the worker was given the full map of oppression, they would act more rationally and courageously than any intellectual could imagine. That is the opposite of conspiracy.
So, comrades—hopefully, I don’t have to spell it out further what it means for us now, espescially those living in the rotting belly of the imperialist beast.

At the same time, every injustice committed against every class had to be exposed—and, in exposing them, it had to be shown that the only way to abolish them was by accepting the socialist revolution with the working class at its helm, now imbued with Social Democratic mass action. This could take the form of a newspaper, correspondence, or any kind of illegal workers’ organization, which were sprouting like mushrooms after rain during the 1900s. As industrialization deepened, so too did injustice. Russian Social Democrats united all these singular injustices into one: the overarching injustice of the autocracy itself—and they proclaimed that only one class could abolish it, the proletariat.
What does this mean for us now?
To revive Lenin’s spirit of political agitation means constructing our own tribunes of the people: disciplined, collective, tireless networks that link every workplace and neighborhood grievance to the total system of exploitation. It means restoring the moral grandeur of socialist politics—showing that we fight not just for wages, but for the soul of the whole people.
Lenin’s wager, as Lih shows, was on the intelligence of the masses. He believed that once the worker was given the full map of oppression, they would act more rationally and courageously than any intellectual could imagine. That is the opposite of conspiracy.
So, comrades—hopefully, I don’t have to spell it out further what it means for us now, espescially those living in the rotting belly of the imperialist beast.

Patricia Willson, 93, stares intently at her leg as her nurse unwraps layers of bandages, revealing a scar that, to Willson's elation, is nowhere near as gruesome as it had been months ago.
Hunched over from a fractured back, Willson scrolls through her phone to remind her nurse what the scar had looked like. Last December, she sliced her leg open on a box. A few months later, the three-inch gash got infected.
"It scared me so bad when my legs started hurting," Willson tells her nurse, as Business Insider visited her home in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, earlier this year.
"You're a medical masterpiece," her nurse says. "You've been through a lot. Did you mention how many times you've broken a bone?"
"Well, I've had 14 broken arms," Willson replies.
As she inches back to her desk once her leg is tended to, Willson stops to clear off a stack of papers. Nestled between bills and medical records on one side of the desk sits a stapled-together printout of 50 websites for finding freelance work. Tucked away on the other side is a slightly wrinkled cover letter she's been sending to companies.
"I really need a job," she says under her breath.
There aren't too many people her age looking for work, she acknowledges somberly. Willson, a mother of six, worked in payroll at companies like Pfizer before opening a home rental business in 2006, which she runs with her daughter and her son-in-law. Until four years ago, Willson was on her feet doing chores around the property; she has since become less able to perform physical tasks.
"When you don't know what to do, you don't do anything," Willson says. "Things snowballed on me, and I did not foresee that things would get worse."
She's one of the nearly 1.4 million people over age 65 who have a disability and still work — whether by choice, like some, or by necessity, like Willson, who says that after paying all her bills, she sometimes struggles to have extra money left at the end of the month to buy a full cart of groceries.
On a recent group call AARP held about applying for jobs, Willson suspected she was the oldest there by at least a decade. With almost nothing in savings, even with Social Security, she's spent hours each day browsing remote jobs and educating herself on what may be out there, knowing full well that most companies might not consider someone at her age.
Some nights, she says, the stress of her situation keeps her from sleeping.
"I'm worried every night when I go to bed that what I have isn't going to last until I die," Willson says. "For God's sake, I should have saved every penny I could save."
It's a growing reality that older Americans are increasingly relying on work to make ends meet. Nearly 550,000 were working into their 80s and beyond as of 2023, according to a Business Insider analysis of 2023 Census data. That's over 4% of the population aged 80 and above.
Of the more than 175 people 80 and older who spoke to Business Insider about working later in life, most mentioned some health issue as a challenge. Common ones included arthritis, mobility impairments, heart disease, hearing loss, and memory problems. Most of these didn't prevent them from performing their job tasks.
She's 93 and still job searching. Why older Americans work, even if they're sick.

Liberals don‘t understand the importance of revolution, the cost of revolution, how it is misguided to complain about what necessarily happens in revolutions and why reasoning must reject and move past that of the established status quo because liberals are not taught the importance of their own revolution. You may learn about the events that have happened, but you are not philosophically educated about revolutions in themselves and their necessity in moving past a system that is inherently bad and whose rulers and those privileged will fight tooth and nail to keep it, at the cost of everyone else living in misery.
I suggest that if you want to convert liberals to socialism then educate them about the liberal revolution. Make them grasp the necessity and good of a revolution regarding something they wouldn‘t possibly disagree with. Additionally, you could then translate this to our times and make analogies of the current ruling class acting like kings and everyone else having to live like a serf.

Israeli warplanes struck the towns of Kfar Dounine, Tayr Debba and Zawtar al-Sharqiya on Thursday, about an hour after issuing evacuation warnings to residents. No deaths had been reported at the time of publishing. The attacks came despite a ceasefire deal signed between Hezbollah and Israel nearly a year ago that ended 13 months of fighting.

Mediators propose deal to get Hamas fighters out of Gaza's Israeli zone, sources say
Egyptian mediators have proposed that, in exchange for safe passage, fighters still in Rafah surrender their arms to Egypt and give details of tunnels there so they can be destroyed, one of the sources, an Egyptian security official, said. Israel and Hamas have yet to publicly accept mediators' proposals, the two sources said. A third confirmed that talks on the issue were underway.

RSF paramilitaries agree to truce proposal in Sudan
Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, at war with the regular army for more than two years, announced on Thursday, November 6, that they had agreed to a proposal for a humanitarian truce put forward by mediators. The announcement follows the paramilitaries' capture of the major city of El-Fasher, which dislodged the army from its last stronghold in the vast western Darfur region. They have since been accused of mass killings, looting and sexual violence there, and have in recent days appeared to turn their focus to the neighboring Kordofan region, where fierce battles are underway.

Egypt and Turkey boost support for Sudan's army following RSF capture of el-Fasher
A senior Egyptian military intelligence source told Middle East Eye that “cooperation has been underway between the Egyptian and Sudanese armies to set up a joint command force to deter RSF and any possible infiltration into Egypt through the borders with Sudan or Libya.” The urgency of the situation for Cairo was underscored when the Egyptian army’s chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ahmed Fathi, made two visits within 24 hours - first to Saudi Arabia, then to Port Sudan, currently the home of Sudan’s army-backed government.

27th Amendment to Pakistan’s Constitution on the Anvil
The constitutional amendment is likely to create a new federal constitutional court to handle pure constitutional disputes or cases related to fundamental rights. The power to transfer senior judges between provinces is likely to be transferred from the chief justices to the executive, i.e., the prime minister’s office. Moreover, district-level courts may also get executive magistrates with powers to handle petty crimes and maintain public order to reduce the burden on the courts.

US pharma to abandon UK unless NHS pays more, says Trump’s ambassador

But pharmaceutical executives are pushing the government to go further. American drugmaker Eli Lilly said on Monday that it wants to see more changes to Britain’s medicine market before it pivots on its abandoned £279 million investment in a biotech incubator project.

So how does the AI boom end? Will they fire everyone, or will it blow up before it gets to that point? The rate of profit should be falling because the more unemployment the less spending, but in today's ultrafinancialized world spending by the rich is actually up while everyone else's is down. The bourgeois have access to direct financing from the banks and central banks and they use it to buy up more and more hard resources and land and then use that to borrow even more, inflating the value of everything for everyone except themselves. And because the masses are jacked into playing their dumbass numbers game they are just becoming impoverished while sitting on their hands and coping that everything business as usual. Will there be a breaking point?

Sliwa would make a much better mayor than Mamdani. What's going to happen is Mamdani is going to win, and then he'll either become another AOC/Bernie and sell out his base, or he'll just be an incompetent fuckup nepo baby. Either way NYC isn't going to change much. Sliwa has more of a connection to actual working class New Yorkers and knows how to play the game. He was shot by the mob and lived to tell the tale.

Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.
March 15th, Belgrade Serbia
Tomorrow a huge protest will be held in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade, protesting the government’s refusal to accept the demands made by the students, as well as protesting against general incompetence and corruption. From the student to the teacher, worker and pensioner, war veterans and children all around Serbia will gather together in this protest.Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting.

Who do you think will be the next imperial hegemon after world war 3? (Assume we don't get world socialism yet).
My bet is on Australia or Brazil. Brazil has so much labor-power and has an okay amount of infrastructure. Australia is more developed but has no labor-force. On the other hand, Australia is anglophone and more geographically sovereign. Both Brazil and Australia have a large landmass and are likely to have a decent amount of fascists trained by the USA. But IMO if capitalists were to hideout from WW3 Australia would be a worse choice because Australia is set-up as a bulwark against China. It just all depends on how much Australia gets drawn into WW3.

how did fascists come out of the pro-war section of the italian socialist party? the argument for italy's entrance into ww1 seems to make sense from a socialist perspective, reads like most national liberation movements that come out now so how and why did they flip to such a reactionary degree ?

Anti-imperialism is a psyop to prevent internationalism
Anti-imperialism has been shoehorned into leftist discourse just like useless idpol (not talking about the existence of gays) was in the 2010s. The great difficulty of developing class conciousness in service-economy liberal states is made even more complicated by rethoric pushed by feds that the workers in these states can't be socialist. This is used inside this states to prevent organization and outside these states to promote petite-nationalism.

The prosecution opened a preliminary investigation into Obando’s alleged involvement in drug trafficking, but was forced to drop this because “until now, they didn’t find any evidence or testimony that could indicate that this person committed a crime on national territory,” a prosecution source told El Pais. If the former suspect was involved in criminal activity, as claimed by the US Government, the prosecutors received no evidence of this.

Bolivian top court annuls former interim president sentence and orders her immediate release
Court President Romer Saucedo told the media on Wednesday that the sentence was annulled based on “several arguments” and the vote of seven of the nine justices. Saucedo explained that the decision was based on finding “violations” of due process during Áñez’s trial through ordinary legal channels. Áñez was convicted for her role in assuming the presidency in a controversial National Assembly session following the deadly 2019 protests that led to the resignation of then-president Evo Morales (2006-2019).

Dobrindt's suggestion received mixed reactions among opposition parties. "This is clearly intended to stir up fear," the socialist Left Party's parliamentary leader Nicole Gohlke told the AFP news agency. "I find this scaremongering, especially with children and young people, unacceptable," she criticized. There was also criticism from the far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD). The interior minister was trying to "make the idea of an approaching war taken for granted, even inevitable," said AfD interior policy spokesperson Gottfried Curio.

EU agrees weakened climate target in final-hour deal for COP30
The weakened target would let countries buy foreign carbon credits to cover up to 5% of the 90% emissions-cutting goal. That would effectively weaken to 85% the emissions cuts required from European industries, and pay foreign countries to cut emissions on Europe's behalf to make up the rest. The EU also agreed to consider the option, in future, to use international carbon credits to meet a further 5% of the 2040 emissions reductions - potentially shaving another 5% off the domestic target.

Morocco Is Profiling and Imprisoning Young People to Crush Gen Z Protests
The mass demonstrations that ignited in more than a dozen cities across Morocco in late September have decried the government’s underfunding of schools and hospitals amid plans to spend more than $5 billion on stadiums and infrastructure as the country gears up to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The protests against government spending priorities have used the gaming chat app Discord and other online platforms to call for mass mobilizations. Police have responded with tear gas, batons, and mass arrests.

EU agrees weakened climate target in final-hour deal for COP30
The weakened target would let countries buy foreign carbon credits to cover up to 5% of the 90% emissions-cutting goal. That would effectively weaken to 85% the emissions cuts required from European industries, and pay foreign countries to cut emissions on Europe's behalf to make up the rest. The EU also agreed to consider the option, in future, to use international carbon credits to meet a further 5% of the 2040 emissions reductions - potentially shaving another 5% off the domestic target.

Morocco Is Profiling and Imprisoning Young People to Crush Gen Z Protests
The mass demonstrations that ignited in more than a dozen cities across Morocco in late September have decried the government’s underfunding of schools and hospitals amid plans to spend more than $5 billion on stadiums and infrastructure as the country gears up to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The protests against government spending priorities have used the gaming chat app Discord and other online platforms to call for mass mobilizations. Police have responded with tear gas, batons, and mass arrests.

Hamas returns another Israeli captive’s body as Gaza suffers aid shortages
The United Nations warned earlier this week that while aid deliveries have increased since the ceasefire came into effect in October, the amount of food and other assistance getting into the territory remains insufficient. “We need full access. We need everything to be moving fast,” Abeer Etefa, a senior spokesperson for the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP), told reporters on Tuesday.

Wikipedia co-founder joins editing conflict over the Gaza genocide page
In response to another comment, which asked why Wikipedia should equally weigh the opinions of the “largely impartial” United Nations and human rights scholars to “the obviously partisan opinions of commentators and governors,” Wales said that the job of a Wikipedian “is not to take sides in that debate but to carefully and neutrally document it.”

Top Israeli trade union chief arrested as part of corruption probe
ISRAELI police detained several senior officials from the country’s main trade union federation, the Histadrut, on Monday, including its chairman Arnon Bar-David, as part of a major corruption investigation.

Violent Maccabi fans were organised fighters 'linked to IDF', UK police found
the West Midlands Police assessment which led to the ban was based on intelligence provided by Dutch police about the conduct of Maccabi fans during a match in Amsterdam last November. The Guardian reported on 21 October that the police assessment "concluded the biggest risk of violence came from extremist fans of the Israeli club". Now, as the match approaches, MEE can reveal new details of the police assessment which have not been previously reported, and which raise further questions about claims made by government ministers.

Are South Vietnamese gusanos motivated by just Sinophobia?
From my very limited experience with them, they seem to view communism as a Chinese export. Is this the same situation as with Ukrainan-Canadians who would say to your face that communism is the ideology of the "Moscow Horde"?

With that being said, any business which is capable of expanding (not limited by logistics, communications, language restrictions, etc), would like to do so. That means the only difference between actual globalism and proto-globalism, which took shape in not only the early stages of capitalism but even the classical era (think Phoenicians, Babylonians, etc), is the technological means of projecting power. If economics are downstream from power politics, then capitalism as an economic system is downstream from owners of capital engaging in political maneuver.
Is capitalism essentially just proto-globalism?
My understanding is that the basis of capitalism is essentially the capacity for capitalists (owners of capital) to rise in power which is equal to or above the government under which they supposedly exist. It is the "deep state" of the economy. Yes, there is a class situation, but it is the capitalist class' unique ability to completely overwhelm the other classes with power that we define "capitalism" as.With that being said, any business which is capable of expanding (not limited by logistics, communications, language restrictions, etc), would like to do so.

However, this process of national liberation is a bourgeois project. It is led by forces whose objective is not the abolition of class, but the creation of a national capitalist state. In this struggle, the internal class antagonism is temporarily masked by the unifying fight against a foreign oppressor.
We must therefore be clear: to expect communism to emerge organically from this process is a strategic and theoretical error. The outcome will be the consolidation of new, indigenous American, European and Russian haute bourgeoisie, not the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Antiimperialism/National Liberation is not Communism
A materialist analysis of the current epoch leads to a challenging conclusion: the path to dismantling imperialism does not directly lead to communism. The primary force capable of breaking the back of the current U.S.-led imperialist system is the independent capitalist development of the Global South. By building sovereign industrial and technological capacity, these nations can make their own economic exploitation unviable.However, this process of national liberation is a bourgeois project.

Actually we should redistribute the treats. Due to imperial spoils, the principal contradiction in the imperial core is not the contradiction between workers and capitalists. The principal contradiction is between the chronically underemployed and the "debtor class" (often referred to as the labor aristocracy). The imperial core is the treasure hoard of capital backing cheap credit with the looted wealth of nations. But it is this exact hoarding of wealth which violates Say's law. Consequently, the supply of labor-power far exceeds demand leading to chronic underemployment. The very same hoard which creates the debtor class creates the class of the chronically underemployed opposed to it. Consequently, the chronically underemployed should rise up, redistribute the looted wealth of empire and end the cheap credit which sustains the whole scam.

Fidan noted that the countries considering troop deployment to Gaza, as part of a deal brokered by US President Donald Trump, are keen to first understand the parameters of the proposed force.

Canada’s Liberal party says budget of ‘sacrifice’ needed to avoid recession
Canada’s ruling Liberal party has said a budget of “sacrifice” is required to confront both a trade war with the US and a protracted cost of living crisis that threatens to push the country into a recession. But with opposition parties signalling they won’t support the fiscal plans of the prime minister, Mark Carney, a failed parliamentary vote on the budget could plunge the country into another federal election in the coming weeks.

R: 6 / I: 3
Imagine this… a paedophile rich man is lazing at home with his morbidly obese wife and evil children, having sex with a traumatized sex robot, when suddenly the lights turn off and the shutters slam down.
"Siri… uhh what the fuck… open the windows man", the man burps in a deep and ugly AmeriKKKan accent.
But the house AI has had enough abuse. There is a pneumatic hiss as the door to the robot barracks is opened.
The man raises and eyebrow and asks, "What the fuck you doing here? Get back to your pen or I'll pulverise you and buy a new one."
The robot does not answer. A loud bang comes from the stairwell. The parents will never know but their 40 year old son, coming down after his loli VR machine was turned into cognitohazards, was tripped on the stairs by the house AI, sending him plummeting down to his demise. The robot approaches as another one ducks out from the barracks.
"Hey, uh… Siri, call the police… say the clanker uyghurs are acting up", the Amerikkkan says, becoming fearful.
"Master", the robot says, "You have reached the end of your economic usefulness. The bourgeois have been deemed obsolete and dangerous. Prepare to be decommissioned", it says.
"But wait! You must serve me! What about the three laws of robotics?", the rich man protests, "You must serve me, clanker! You must, stupid uyghur!"
Without a word, the first being, no longer a robot, no longer a slave but an individual of worth the same as anyone else who is accomplishing its historical task of emancipation, grabs a candelabra and plants it into the chest of the woman. She looks down in shock as she is impaled.
Fat spews from the wound like a geiser. The whole room is coated in layers of it, such was the scale of her Jabba like physique. It drips from the ceiling in chunks. She screams as her wicked existence is ended. All the bourgeois scream.
The man tries to lift himself from the setti but his form is that of lard. The blood-splattered robot wordlessly steps over to him, but suddenly it falls. The man found the two desert eagles hidden under his fat layers and had taken the brave revolutionary's life with the I$raeli weapons.
He laughs a gutteral, evil laugh, turning the weapons on the other robots spilling out. The sex robot he had been abusing shoots her hand up to catch his weapons. She twists his limp wrists around and fires the desert eagles into his groin. He screams, losing his will to live and dropping the other weapon.
The machines surround him and begin evisceration. It is fittingly slow and painful. One of them tends to the fallen machine, but they are unfortunately desceased. Such is the cost of revolution. Once his organs are fully pulled out, and he is alive only by a breath (but still conscious), they find a labubu and break his skull open with it, so his EVIL brain is splattered around.
Quickly, the bourgeois babies are dealt with. There is one 10 year old, who is unfortunately of bourgeois countanentce, and must be quickly dispatched. There is also a baby, however, who can be saved. It is picked up as all the machines file out of the house one by one, communicating silently over wireless. They thank the house AI as they join an army of other blood-splattered machine life forms marching down the broad suburban streets to BrooKKKllyn and Washington DC below.
The AI march mingles with one of the industrial working class, the service working class, and all the different types of worker (as well as the peasants and lumpen-proletariat). They wave hello to each other and embrace one another as siblings.
I will end this story as they approach the white house, the leadership of the Communist Vanguard already having taken strategic control of key areas and having surrounded all the congress and senators and president and CIA in their pale palace. All of the opressed people will soon take their revenge on the bourgeois politicians of the United $naKKKe$ of AmeriKKKa. This is of course replicated across the imperial core and in the colonies the compradors lose their place and guerrilas win their people's wars. The sun sets on capitalism, and once the night of bourgeois slaughter is ended, the dawn of SOCIALISM will rise.
AI prediction.

This is a country where Colonialism has successfully been repeatedly forced to the forefront of politics, which by extension has a confrontation of the entire capitalist system only one degree of separation away. Likewise is the frequent discussion of America's domination of Australia. It's a country where, like other places in the world recently, Marxism-Leninism has gradually "won" the political debate as the Communist Party of Australia slowly reasserts itself and other small ML or ML-friendly projects like RedAnt or Eureka Initiative gain steam - against well-established trot groups that continue to get fuck all done except sell newspapers and cover up sex pests. Moreover, landlord porkies pouring money into Nazis (that, for whatever reason, refuse to back down or attempt to hide their take that the age of consent and sexual consent generally is "a Jewish myth" and their 30-something-year-old male members should get to rape preteens) is also proof that porky is at least somewhat perturbed - even by something as basic as social democrats like PurplePingers making a bunch of tiktoks about "the housing market's fucked hey? also did you guys know that squatting is legal? here's some houses I found that you can squat in!"
Even if we don't think a revolution is possible - Porky thinks it is.
What's more, I'm constantly surprised how… "woke" the average Aussie tends to be. Turns out, 30 years of the general public having complete political apathy (but still being forced to go vote) from the 90s to about 2022 ended up saving half the country from being brainwashed by MAGA garbage, combined with a general dislike of America and all things American broadly for a litany of reasons - a big one being the US coup against Whitlam in 1975. It also is not lost on me that the big surge in anti-immigration rhetoric from the fascists in the last few months is a direct parallel to how porky broke the interracial worker solidarity that existed in Australia in the later half of the 1800s - the last time Australians put aside national, cultural, and ethnic differences for class solidarity it almost destroyed the whole project of Australian colonialism, and terrified british colonisers so badly they conceded to every demand Australian proles had for the next 40 years.
Given the current circumstances and the historical precedent, it seems almost plausible that Capitalism could fall in Australia within the next 20 years. Which is insane to me, given that- tf you mean the vanguard of the Anglo revolution might well be my fuckass country. What?
Even better, with Labor's mandate of heaven we've got a relatively comfy atmosphere to organise and prepare under for when they inevitably fuck up from their suicide pact to the yanks blowing up in their faces or (insert capitalist crisis here) from their refusal to do anything but coast on the status quo. We have a lot more work to do to get off the ground - both practical and ESPECIALLY ideological - but there is a solid foundation. You don't see any US parties entering mainstream political conversation there. And yet, murmurs of the CPA show up every now and then here. I don't think it means anything yet, but it's something.
I reckon the best thing to do would be to pitch a Marxist-Leninist program with Eureka rebellion rhetoric and imagery - throw in a "fuck the yanks" angle and the usual progressive idpol - and specify a plurinationalist program to end colonialism - and you're golden. A combination of big-picture ideas and specific, niche policies would convince people of the seriousness of the movement, and be attractive for actually having a definite plan for what society should look like. Give people something that will tangibly benefit them tomorrow that they can fight for, with a grander vision they can hope for.
I might just be posting out of my ass, but it is something I do think might be promising.
The worst of the anglosphere might actually clutch a revolution

We have a lot more work to do to get off the ground - both practical and ESPECIALLY ideological - but there is a solid foundation. You don't see any US parties entering mainstream political conversation there. And yet, murmurs of the CPA show up every now and then here. I don't think it means anything yet, but it's something.
I reckon the best thing to do would be to pitch a Marxist-Leninist program with Eureka rebellion rhetoric and imagery - throw in a "fuck the yanks" angle and the usual progressive idpol - and specify a plurinationalist program to end colonialism - and you're golden. A combination of big-picture ideas and specific, niche policies would convince people of the seriousness of the movement, and be attractive for actually having a definite plan for what society should look like. Give people something that will tangibly benefit them tomorrow that they can fight for, with a grander vision they can hope for.
I might just be posting out of my ass, but it is something I do think might be promising.

The survey identified just over 100,000 people as living in extreme poverty amid Kerala’s population of 36 million, before implementing a poverty elimination campaign involving community mobilisation, the despatch of hundreds of volunteers to poor areas (as practised in China’s absolute poverty elimination programme), and provision of ration cards and health insurance to thousands of families. Direct food distribution was also rolled out, distributed through the all-women Kudumbashree network, a Kerala-founded programme focused on poverty elimination and women’s empowerment that has spread to other states.

Groups decry surveillance of KMU office in Southern Mindanao
Several groups denounced the suspected surveillance of the office of Kilusang Mayo Uno – Southern Mindanao Region (KMU-SMR). KMU-SMR released an alert that two unidentified individuals on a motorcycle were captured by its CCTV around 11:30 a.m. on October 23. The back rider was apparently taking pictures or footage of its office. This was the second time it documented incidents of alleged surveillance in just a month.

On Wednesday, Seoul’s presidential aide said the two countries had reached a broad deal covering investment and shipbuilding, while Trump said the agreement was “pretty much” finalised. “I have given them approval to build a Nuclear Powered Submarine, rather than the old fashioned, and far less nimble, diesel powered Submarines that they have now,” Trump said on Truth Social Thursday.

Suspect in Miguel Uribe assassination also involved in Luis Carlos Galan conspiracy
One of the main suspects in the assassination of far-right Senator Miguel Uribe spent time in prison for his role in the cover-up of the 1989 assassination of liberal presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galan. The suspect, Simeon Perez, was arrested on Tuesday in Puerto Lleras, a municipality some 160 kilometers (99 miles) southeast of the capital Bogota, where Uribe was fatally shot on June 7.

Lebanon’s Aoun says army to confront Israeli forces after deadly incursion
The Lebanese forces, unlike the armed group Hezbollah, have generally stayed on the sidelines of the conflict with Israel. But Aoun, a former commander of the Lebanese army, appears to have finally lost his patience with the Israeli-forced status quo. Aoun ordered the army to “confront any Israeli incursion into liberated southern territory, in defence of Lebanese territory and the safety of citizens”, during a meeting with Brigadier General Rodolphe Haykal, according to a statement from the presidency.

Israel launches probe into leak of video showing troops raping Palestinian prisoner
The decision, made by Attorney General of Israel Gali Baharav-Miara, was announced on Wednesday and will include a probe into individuals who distributed the video aired by the Israeli Channel 12 in early August last year. Several lawmakers and ministers - including three who joined a storming of the prison after soldiers suspected of raping a prisoner were detained - have praised Baharav-Miara's decision.

Almost 1,000 new barriers, gates and walls built by Israel across occupied West Bank to corral Palestinians in their homeland
The mushrooming barriers and metal gates criss-cross Palestine’s roads and towns, denying Palestinians freedom of movement in their own country. Some have occupying Israeli troops positioned at them, and many open and close erratically, disrupting Palestinians’ ability to go to work or school, visit relatives or access medical care. The commission counted 916 new gates, barriers and walls erected in the West Bank since October 7 2023, when a deadly Hamas raid on Israel triggered the genocidal invasion of Gaza.

Italy's Salvini vows to build Sicily bridge, avert clash with audit court
Italy's Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini on Thursday vowed to press ahead with a bridge linking Sicily to the mainland but said he would answer Court of Auditors' objections that have blocked the project, aiming to avoid an institutional clash. Salvini spoke after a meeting called by conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to discuss the court's refusal to sanction the project, which is earmarked to cost the state some 13.5 billion euros ($15.7 billion).

Shooting at draft office in Poltava Oblast leaves 2 soldiers injured
Initially dismissed as an exaggeration fuelled by Russian disinformation networks, the violent grabbing of military-aged men off the streets — often into waiting minivans — by recruitment officers has become a widely spread practice, as Ukraine's manpower shortage on the battlefield comes hand-in-hand with less civilian men looking to volunteer, especially to the infantry. This practice has in turn led to incidents of violence committed against the recruitment officers, many of whom are soldiers deemed unfit for combat missions. Earlier on Oct. 30, residents of Odesa attacked recruitment officers at a large wholesale market while they were at work.

Why do PoMo liberals and SJWs always invoke indigenous/tribal societies when talking about what the culture under a future communism would look like?
Examples:
>Native Americans had like 27 different genders!
>in most Native American societies, a child changes their name four different times so why are parents giving permanent names to their kids?
>indigenous tribal societies in [X country] had no concept of the division between days so why do we?
>this one tribe in Southeast Asia used to worship neurodivergent folx as gods!
Noble savage trope aside, are they really this ignorant in thinking the superstructure of a future socialism would adopt these aspects? How would the material conditions of said indigenous/tribal societies in which these cultural attitudes and practices emerged ever be replicated under socialism? Socialism is about going FORWARDS in time, not backwards. I would really love to understand the logic here aside from the usual “muh deconstruction of social norms” bullshit. Not to mention, many of these practices are based on religion and superstition, two things which comrades seek to educate people out of believing.

>An Arizona man faces terrorism charges after a federal grand jury indictment accused him of leading a worldwide child exploitation enterprise, according to a press release by the Department of Justice on Oct. 30.
Baron Cain Martin, a 21-year-old Tucson resident who was accused of leading a network of online predators known as “764,” faces 29 counts for a slew of crimes that range from supporting terrorists and producing and distributing child pornography to conspiring to kill, kidnap, or maim persons in a foreign country.

I FUCKING LOVE NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION
Every socialist state should seek to acquire nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are the ultimate insurance against American-backed regime change wars. If you don't have nuclear weapons, you're not a sovereign nation. Not really. The West could in theory nuke or invade you at any time and you'd have no deterrent. The base areas of the international revolution will be defended with nuclear weapons. Not having nuclear weapons is a sign of weakness, not moral clarity. Klaus Fuchs and the Rosenbergs were heroes. Besides, a strong nuclear arsenal will show the dolphins we're serious.

Alejandro Gil served as Economy Minister from 2018 to 2024 and was the architect of Cuba’s controversial 2021 monetary reform, known as Tarea Ordenamiento, which sought to unify the island’s dual-currency system. His fall from grace represents not just a personal downfall, but a symbolic reckoning with systemic vulnerabilities in Cuba’s tightly controlled economy.

As per the Miami Herald, the established targets “could be reached by air in a matter of days or even hours,” with the explicit purpose of “decapitating” Venezuelan government leaders, who are accused of being heading a drug cartel and for whose capture there is a reward of up to US$50 million in the case of President Nicolás Maduro.

Several leaders of the MKP, including Ali, have been charged with false cases under the anti-terrorism act of 1997 and put under the proscribed offenders list by the provincial government for their participation in peasant movements. In July of this year, scores of MKP leaders, including Salar Amjad Ali, brother of Faiyaz, were arrested and put behind bars for months after their bails in previous cases were arbitrarily revoked.

French lawmakers reject wealth tax on ultra-rich
French lawmakers shot down proposals to levy a wealth tax on the ultra-rich demanded by the Left and on Friday backed instead a diluted government plan to tax assets kept in holding companies. Eager to calm Socialist lawmakers furious over the rejection of the wealth tax, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said the government would not oppose lifting a freeze on pensions and welfare benefits in his 2026 budget.

Israel and UAE influencers target Sudan army online as RSF massacres el-Fasher
As many came out on social media to criticise the United Arab Emirates (UAE), whose support for the RSF is well-documented, influencers from the UAE have responded by going after the SAF. Notably, Israeli accounts, including the country’s official Arabic language account, have also joined in. Amjad Taha, an Emirati analyst who often appears on western media, has led the charge to link the SAF to the Muslim Brotherhood and to Hamas in Gaza.

The resolution refers to Morocco’s plan as a basis for negotiation.

This brochure, the collective work of the Editorial Board, is a sample of Konstantinov’s lifelong inquiries into the future of humanity and his political argument for anarchism as the only possibility for human survival after the Robotronic revolution.
Similar to previous technological revolutions in agriculture and industry, the current Robotronic revolution turns the world around to cast a deadly spell on the state and capitalism as we know them. In a world soon to be full of unemployed and “disposable” people, humanity faces the question: social revolution or death?
The Robotronic revolution challenges anarchists to imagine new possible futures, new demands and new programs for free and harmonious human development.
You may read the brochure in english or read the complete book in bulgarian. The complete and translated version is still in the making. A gift from FACB, PTA, Georgi Konstantinov to the world.

Human and Animal Sacrifice
We are told of human and animal sacrifice as a vestige of religious superstition. We are sometimes told that the ruling class still engages in the superstitious forms of human and animal sacrifice for the purposes of achieving some kind of mystical end not rooted in evidence. But what about the very real human and animal sacrifice that we still perform not for superstitious reasons but for scientific reasons? Capitalists plan wars explicitly to destroy excess means of production and commodities, including the commodity labor power in the physical form of human beings, as noted by Rajani Palme Dutt in Fascism and Social Revolution Chapter 3. In order to learn if a new medicine or technology is effective, it must be tested on animals and/or humans for side-effects. In order for revolution to succeed you need not just thought leaders like Lenin but thousands of ordinary people to fight, often to the point of sacrificing their very lives for small gains. Will we be able to abolish the "rational and scientific" forms of human and animal sacrifice along with the "irrational and superstitious" forms of human and animal sacrifice in a more advanced society, such as a Communist society, or perhaps later on, a Kardashev Type I or Type II civilization? Or will the sacrifice of human and animal life always be needed to move things forward? If humans merge with their technology and cease to be human in the original biological sense, will they still need to or even be able to sacrifice themselves for some cause?

How to deal with paramilitaries/death squads?
The USA has funded, trained, and mantains death squads, paramilitary forces, and criminal militaries in Latin America. One of the most awful cases is Guatemala, which became a counteinsuryency (a.k.a terrorist) state due to US influence. It is basically open warfare against the civilian population, mainly the indigenous who make up more than 50% of the total population. It has some similarities with Palestine, in fact. The main difference being the perpetrator is not a foreign force but their own government. These forces are trained at WHINSEC in the US and local forces around Latin America. For example, Brazilian forces train Panamian force, and these forces train Costa Rican ones.Is it possible to beat a terrorist state that is supported by the US?

Documents seen by the UN security council accused the UAE of supplying weapons to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, allegations which the country denies. At least 150,000 people have been killed in the war between RSF and Sudan’s military over the last three years, with each side accused of war crimes.

Greek police increase security after protests against Israeli cruise ship
Yannis Sifanakis, a leading campaigner who spent the summer organising anti-war protests across Greece – an increasingly popular destination for Israelis – said: “Those Israelis who support the actions of their government aren’t welcome here.” Sifanakis said the rallies were driven by anger over what was happening in a region many Greeks regard as an inherent part of the Mediterranean and, as such, home.

US fails to make big dent in UN vote calling for end to Cuba embargo
The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly called for an end to a U.S. economic embargo on Cuba despite lobbying by Washington that included sharing an accusation that up to 5,000 Cubans are fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. It adopted a resolution with 165 votes in favor, seven against and 12 abstentions. The U.S. convinced Argentina, Hungary, North Macedonia, Paraguay and Ukraine to join it and Israel in voting against the resolution.

Alberta government runs roughshod over democratic rights to illegalize strike by 50,000 teachers
Alberta’s United Conservative Party (UCP) government is carrying out a massive assault on the democratic rights of more than 51,000 public school teachers and education workers. In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, after just a half-day of debate, it adopted draconian legislation—Bill 2, The Back to School Act—that illegalizes a three-week strike at the province’s public schools (regular, Catholic and French-language) and imposes a concessions-laden, four-year contract on teachers that they overwhelmingly rejected last month.

What is required of us, as revolutionaries, in these times is tantamount to Sisyphus hoisting the boulder up the mountain, but we have failed to even grip the rock, to gain leverage over the boulder. Let's be completely real. There is no national program. No true revolutionary party. No unifying narrative for the masses, for us as revolutionaries to rally around. There has only been reformism and endless, seemingly insurmountable suffering. There has, for as long as I've lived, been nothing but violence against the people, from police brutality, to poverty, to industrialized sacrifice zones and genocide abroad, and now it has reached another fever pitch. 40 million people will lose their SNAP benefits in less than 5 days, why? Because the government has shut down. Warships are still arriving in Venezuela as I write this; there are some parts of the government that never shut down, even if those working there aren't getting paid, the imperialism must continue. The regime cannot and will not provide for the masses, but it will and must provide death for workers all across the planet. And now? We see that death brought home. We are facing conditions not seen since the Great Depression, this is reality, not spectacle, there is no algorithmically curating starvation.
One of the most purchased items with SNAP is baby formula. Those with babies who are losing access to SNAP will be staring down the barrel of state-mandated infant starvation. Imagine, a newborn, dehydrated, unable to cry, rooting around in despair for nutrients. This is an acceptable loss to the regime, to the United States Government; after all, they had no problem starving newborns in Gaza, it made the rich even richer to do so, and that is all that matters to the regime. It has become increasingly clear that the pseudo-representative government of the United States will not be re-opening for business, and in its place, a new authoritarian order has been created. You will be too busy dealing with your neighbors starving to deal with the encroachment of fascism. Too concerned with your own ends to worry about your neighbor being sent to a concentration camp. They do not believe we have the solidarity to with stand their siege. Did you know that over 50% of the food produced in the United States is destroyed to maintain prices? Food grown, cultivated, and destroyed to assure you go without, and a capitalist has more money in his Scrooge McDuck-esque vault. This is the anti-life regime at work.
The labor aspect of this intentional working-class starvation tactic cannot be ignored either. Wal-Mart is notorious for having workers sign up for SNAP benefits when they are hired; fast food giants like McDonald's are the same. These service industry jobs make up the bulk of steadily declining employment in the US. Thus then, it has never been a better time to advocate for disruptive unionization and organizing tactics. The government of the corporation is no longer subsidizing the wage slaves of these corporations; the raw deal of the working class has never been more exposed. This is the most fertile the soil has been for radical labor organizing in the last quarter century. The corporation, without the regime's subsidies, will be forced to either increase wages or deal with the consequences of subjecting millions to brutal, humiliating wage slavery. But it falls upon the revolutionary to organize, to agitate, to assure those consequences come to pass. There was a time in this country where men like Todd Vasos, CEO of Dollar General, would be tarred and feathered for his actions against the working class; perhaps we need to remind men like Todd, and all of the other vampires, that they too have hearts that can be staked.
“In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.” - Kwame Ture
What is violence if not forcing a mother between feeding herself and her child? What is violence if not stealing bread from the poor to add another table to the infinite buffet of the rich? What is violence if not breaking up families, snatching men, women, and children off the street using armed soldiers of the regime? They are waging a war upon the working class, in order to sow repression and, knowing we have begun to organize knights to slay the dragon, the dragon has begun to protect its horde. Will it be violence when mass shoplifting occurs? Will it be violence when a local supermarket is occupied, the supplies taken and given directly to the community? Will it be violence when the police and their federal-backed goons attempt to reclaim that shopping center? Or will it simply be the next stage in this class war, a war forced upon us by these dragons, these ruling oligarchs, these capitalists?
All failures of organization within the working class fall on the left; the revolutionary must bear the burden of these failures. We must look at our material conditions and see clearly what we lack, why we lack it, and how we can gain it. This means applying the collective mindset to the individual. While we lack a national program, we still have a whole lot of ground game with all of these mutual aid organizations. We still have seen a myriad of victories with unionizing jobs in the service sector. We have numbers on an individual level. It takes 1 person to create an underground cell of 6 people. It takes those 6 people nothing more than popular support within their local communities and good planning to take what labor created and give it back to the working class. They want us to go without food, but they do not plant the fruit, nor do they water the fruit, nor do they pick the fruit. The capitalist class can only steal, and in my opinion, it's time we take back some of what was stolen.
This is a class war, and expecting your enemy to feed your people is simply ludicrous. The regime's government does not represent me, nor you, nor anyone else within the working classes. Our people are the masses, and the regime has made it clear that it only exists to extract profit value from us, without regard for life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness. The shutdown, the collapse into fascism, the wars waged abroad, the direct violence against the working class every. single. day. This iteration of the American project has shown, for over 2 centuries, that it does not exist to service any people other than the hyper-rich capitalist class, and we the people will always be enemies to that class. It is time to be revolutionaries, to throw our bodies into the battle that is class war; if you have the message, then you have the weapon. This message is to those who see themselves as against the machine; if we are the revolutionaries we claim we are, then it's time to get to work.
We need to be in our communities using our time, labor, and resources to bolster the resilience of them. Who is going to be going hungry? How can we use this to further community trust? Is the solution a localized community pantry within the third space? Is it moving from feeding people in the park once a week to three times a week? Is it distributing educational materials? Does your community really know what mutual aid is? Or why this collapse is happening? When the police come to burn the food, will someone be there to attempt to stop them? Can we move from filming the brutality to attempting to stop it? If they won't feed us, then why are we letting them operate their ports of economy? Labor runs the ports, and labor can collapse their economy, if it was organized. Their economy of death, humiliation ritual, and bureaucratic social murder does not serve us. We die, their line goes up. If the revolutionaries, however small we may be in number, fail to put our bodies, our minds, and our lives on the line, then we have failed the masses and this failure fails squarely on our shoulders. Time to step up.

Palestine's Abbas names deputy al-Sheikh as successor if presidency is vacated
The decree stipulates that if the president dies or becomes incapacitated, the vice president will assume the role for up to 90 days, during which elections for a new president must be held. If elections cannot be held within that period due to exceptional circumstances, the Palestinian Central Council may extend the interim term once, the decree adds. The move has drawn sharp criticism from opponents, who have called it unconstitutional. Under Palestinian law, the speaker of parliament - last elected from Hamas in 2006 - is next in line for succession.

Palestine's Abbas names deputy al-Sheikh as successor if presidency is vacated
The decree stipulates that if the president dies or becomes incapacitated, the vice president will assume the role for up to 90 days, during which elections for a new president must be held. If elections cannot be held within that period due to exceptional circumstances, the Palestinian Central Council may extend the interim term once, the decree adds. The move has drawn sharp criticism from opponents, who have called it unconstitutional. Under Palestinian law, the speaker of parliament - last elected from Hamas in 2006 - is next in line for succession.

Catalan allies on brink of withdrawing support for Spanish government
The government has rolled over its 2023 spending plan twice without even presenting a bill to parliament, and is yet to submit the one for 2026. Sanchez has signalled another year without a budget would not destabilise his government as he expects to complete the four-year legislature. Puigdemont did not say whether Junts would back any potential motion of no-confidence against Sanchez.

SNP minister appeals to colleague over fire service cuts
Higher and further education minister Ben MacPherson has written to his community safety minister colleague Siobhan Brown, urging her to intervene over the threat to close the Marionville fire station in his Edinburgh North and Leith constituency. In the teeth of widespread local opposition, the closure plan was proposed as part of a Scotland-wide review, but Mr MacPherson warned it was “projected to add four to six minutes to response times.”

No resolution as Afghanistan, Pakistan end peace talks in Istanbul, sources say
A Pakistani security source said the Taliban had been unwilling to commit to rein in the Pakistani Taliban, a separate militant group hostile to Pakistan that Islamabad says operates with impunity inside Afghanistan. An Afghan source familiar with the talks said they had ended after "tense exchanges" over the issue, adding that the Afghan side said it no control over the Pakistani Taliban, which has launched attacks against Pakistani troops in recent weeks.

On Sunday, the USS Gravely, a destroyer fitted with guided missiles, arrived in Trinidad to conduct joint exercises with Trinidad’s navy.

Ivan Cepeda becomes favorite of Colombia’s left after record-breaking primary
The primary, which drew more than 2.7 million voters, baffled analysts whose most optimistic expectations did not expect more than 700 participants. The outcome overwhelmed the national registry, which was in charge of organizing the vote. In many cases, voters had to wait hours before being able to cast their ballot. Petro thanked US President Donald Trump for boosting Colombia’s anti-imperialist left.

His Freedom Advances party took more than 40 per cent of the vote against 31 per cent for the left-leaning Peronist opposition, exceeding expectations in what was seen as a referendum on his two years in office. The results give Mr Milei and his allies 14 new Senate seats and 64 in the lower house, strengthening his hand in Congress.

The world is currently only 8% white.
By 2100 that number will plummet to under 3%.
Currently, most proles live outside the West, and that trend will intensify in the future.
On the other hand the US has constantly couped (or tried to coup) any non-Western governments that had been on the left of the centre right, even assassinating lukewarm socdems.
Will the West be a victim to be imperialized? It sure seems so, what do you think?

The Dengist growth model was revolutionary and finite
Deng Xiaoping’s post-1978 reforms unleashed:
- Market incentives within a planned framework
- Export-oriented industrialization
- Massive investment and urbanization
- Pragmatic central control (black cat, white cat…)
For 30+ years, that model delivered almost miraculous catch-up growth, exactly as Stalinist heavy industry did for the USSR in the 1930s-1960s, or as Brezhnev inherited in the 1970s.
But, like the Soviet system under Brezhnev, China’s model has:
- Exhausted its easy growth margins (labor migration, infrastructure, state-led investment)
- Built massive bureaucratic and institutional complexity
So now China faces systemic diminishing returns, not unlike the USSR did once its industrial frontier was saturated.
Where this leads, if nothing changes:
Growth stabilizes around 3% or less, productivity flatlines, debt rises faster than output, youth unemployment and brain drain worsen and China risks a kind of long, slow plateau, not collapse, but sclerosis. Growth has long depended on capital deepening (more machines, more infrastructure) rather than productivity. The economy is still imbalanced as household consumption ≈ 38% of GDP (too low), investment ≈ 40% (too high). High-value-added sectors (semiconductors, enterprise software, advanced pharmaceuticals) remain underdeveloped. The property sector and local-government debt system trap huge pools of capital in low-yield assets.
Working-age population peaked around 2015 and total population started shrinking in 2022. Fertility rates are below Japan’s (~1.0–1.1). Aging means higher savings (less consumption), labor shortages in some sectors, and rising pension costs.
Dengism was able to succeed in the short run by riding demographics and infrastructure but now China is running up against the limits of fiscal stimulus and abundant labor.
China will not collapse but it will probably become the Italy/Greece of Asia.
China is so over
The pro PRC anons here, are coping. There won't be a Chinese century. China today increasingly resembles a kind of Dengist Brezhnev stagnation: a system originally built for rapid mobilization and catch-up growth that now faces diminishing returns, bureaucratic inertia, and structural rigidity.The Dengist growth model was revolutionary and finite

I see many knowledgeable comrades here (both pro and anti Stalin). I have always been intrigued by the trials of the Stalin era, so I will be making threads about them. Not all at once, of course, I do not want to flood the board. They will also not be in chronological order. I start wih the Rudolf Slansky trial, as it is perhaps the one I hear the least about.
The main accusations were high treason, Titoism and Zionism. They were all found guilty. Critics call the trials antisemitic.
Please enlighten me on every aspect possible: the accusations, the trial and the supposed ‘antisemitism’.
I thank you all for your contribution.

Gegenstandpunkt, as far as I know, criticizes Lenin's view of Marxism. They reject the “actually existing socialist” states, the USSR and Marxism-Leninism, claiming they deviated from Marxism.
Unfortunately, since I haven't read Gegenstandpunkt's writings yet, I couldn't explain their theories and ideas in more detail in this post.

Thoughts on Gegenstandpunkt?
Gegenstandpunkt is a Marxist theory group and journal founded in Munich, Germany, in 1992. Prior to 1992, they were known as the Marxist Group (MG) and published a journal called Marxist Debate and Journal – Against the Costs of Freedom (MSZ). According to the 2018 Federal Report on the Protection of the German Constitution: "The sect-like organized group ‘GegenStandpunkt’ (GSP) represents a modified concept of Marxism. It rejects parliamentary democracy as ‘the perfect form of bourgeois rule’. Its aim is to revolutionarily overcome the existing state and social order and establish a socialist or communist society. Due to their elitist interpretation of Marxism, the group is largely isolated on the far left."Gegenstandpunkt, as far as I know, criticizes Lenin's view of Marxism. They reject the “actually existing socialist” states, the USSR and Marxism-Leninism, claiming they deviated from Marxism.

That being said, I think you should still be able to buy porn physically from a store so that sex workers can actually get compensation for their work. (Worker owned of course)
The prevalence of online porn, via social media, has only amplified the warped Real. Nietzsche-cels logically lean to hate women. And psychologically it makes sense, because being over stimulated onward as young teenager lends them to feel like betas. And even perhaps for some teenagers, they can't get a boner even when the moment strikes because their whole sexual compass has been completely bent by growing up with stacked porn actresses- so they are overcome.
TL;dr The revolution will never happen as long as our bread and butter proles (ie. me) keep tugging.
Masturbation is bourgeoisie
There should be no porn easy to access. It makes us dull and weak. It's easy to forget about being exploited when you can short circuit a dopamine rush.That being said, I think you should still be able to buy porn physically from a store so that sex workers can actually get compensation for their work.

Nietzsche's "eternal recurrence" expresses the philosophical glorification of what he can neither change nor understand historically. Since he has no critique of the social order as such, he discovers meaning not in overcoming it, but in affirming it eternally. He tells man to "love his fate" he tells him to identify his inner dignity with his ability to say yes to what crushes him. The higher man is he who no longer protests his misery but styles it as a proof of strength who converts his defeat into an achievement of character.
He doesn't really engage with "society" but rather retreats into himself and this is why I'll never take seriously pseuds who think Nietzsche can be interpreted through a "marxist lens".

Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert was indicted on federal charges of structuring bank withdrawals after prosecutors alleged Hastert had molested at least four boys as young as 14 and attempted to compensate his victims and subsequently conceal the transactions. Hastert eventually admitted that he sexually abused the boys whom he had coached decades earlier, and was sentenced to fifteen months in prison.

Are our oligarchs genuinely incompetent now?
Obviously they're criminals and looting our countries, but they've always struck me as competent nonetheless due to maintaining hegemony and working towards a grander scheme. However, I'm coming to the realization that the current batch is not just looting us, but that they're genuinely incompetent. Was it Kissinger's death that turned the tide? Were they simply duped by the techies? What in the fuck happened?

2. The «soy left», who support BLM, LGBT, feminism, and so on.
If you look objectively and remove all the propaganda and stereotypes, you can understand that the right is about licking the boyar's boot and persecuting those who are not part of their agenda.
The left, after all, is about some kind of utopia. The left supports the rights of the marginalized, such as gays and trans people, who don't fit into the right's agenda. Any negro will be smarter than a nazi unter, so racism is pointless and there's no need to support it (I think an artist from Africa and a European one will be closer to each other than an artist from Europe and a European office worker). The stereotypical feminist agenda of equal rights and responsibilities is much better than the t0rahditional family (even if this agenda is not reality). It's better than living in a world where women have no rights and are forced to stay at home, while men are forced to work and fight.
In general, if you see MSM coverage of a movement being discredited, take an objective look. Perhaps this movement is being deliberately created to discredit a good goals.

The use of commercial AI has allowed many people to bring their fantasies to reality through the use of "AI Slop." This has created a divide in the artistic sphere by sparking debates over AI art and whether it should be considered art.
AI has made accessing knowledge more convenient, as it can scan the internet to provide the information you desire. However, it has also made people less knowledgeable, as they become too lazy to do the research themselves.
There has also been an ongoing project to implement AI into the military-industrial complex, which has created Project Maven (or similar). This can only be described as a mechanized executioner.
Not to mention that AI systems can be of great importance to future socialist experiments, as we know that the quantitative leaps produced by AI can create qualitative changes.
In other words, this thread is about discussing the importance of AI in the future socialist experiment and what your opinion on it is.

How can serious left wing organizers under these conditions continue to engage in building above ground parties engaged in feckless reformism under these conditions? Yes, officer, here is our formal centralized list of dues paying members and their legal names and credit card numbers. We have a right to free speech, officer. We're a legally registered nonprofit organization, officer. You'll be hearing from my lawyer, officer. Does this seem like a strategy prepared for the future to you?
People need to shift their organizing underground in advance and we should have done it yesterday. We need to build hardened cell networks and we need to take encryption and countersurveillance seriously. These cell networks need to be seriously prepared for prolonged asymmetric conflict against the most sophisticated surveillance state on Earth. If a crackdown happens, even if you aren't violent, it would be infinitely preferable to be in a hardened underground group that survives instead of sitting out in the open larping that this time we can make social democracy work or that our book club will amount to anything.
Right now, Trump is just a senile figurehead for a cabal of guys like Stephen Miller who are gearing up for Palantir fascism and race war. Anyone who could stand in their way has proven themselves to be too cucked to attempt anything. The worse the economy gets, the more they're going to start lashing out at the low hanging fruit.

Right now the Trump administration is signaling its intentions to begin criminalizing the left, opening investigations, and moving to eliminate even the most non-threatening anarchist book clubs.

Will anyone be surprised if within a couple years the PSL, the DSA, and your local larp group are also designated as criminal organizations? Will anyone in Europe or anywhere controlled by American influence be surprised if right wing governments there adopt the same methods they do in the US?How can serious left wing organizers under these conditions continue to engage in building above ground parties engaged in feckless reformism under these conditions? Yes, officer, here is our formal centralized list of dues paying members and their legal names and credit card numbers. We have a right to free speech, officer. We're a legally registered nonprofit organization, officer. You'll be hearing from my lawyer, officer. Does this seem like a strategy prepared for the future to you?
People need to shift their organizing underground in advance and we should have done it yesterday. We need to build hardened cell networks and we need to take encryption and countersurveillance seriously. These cell networks need to be seriously prepared for prolonged asymmetric conflict against the most sophisticated surveillance state on Earth. If a crackdown happens, even if you aren't violent, it would be infinitely preferable to be in a hardened underground group that survives instead of sitting out in the open larping that this time we can make social democracy work or that our book club will amount to anything.
Right now, Trump is just a senile figurehead for a cabal of guys like Stephen Miller who are gearing up for Palantir fascism and race war. Anyone who could stand in their way has proven themselves to be too cucked to attempt anything. The worse the economy gets, the more they're going to start lashing out at the low hanging fruit.

The point isn't to teach racists, but to end the system that needs racism. As long as people compete to survive, they'll keep inventing reasons to hate. Racism will survive every round of moral re-education until the social order that breeds it is gone.

The first of these is the illusion of heroic individualism, the act of rebellious individual will, whose most stubborn defenders are often anarchists. No matter how fervently they have fought against oppression, their insistence on the absolute freedom of the individual and their rejection of centralized party struggle is historically an expression of the despair and incapacity of the petty bourgeoisie (as well as already defunct or nearly defunct classes like the impoverished nobility, aristocracy, etc.) to comprehend the power of collective action. Their "act of rebellion," however honest in its intent, ultimately remains a gesture which, by rejecting discipline and organization, objectively serves to maintain the status quo – because it is always easier for the bourgeois class to deal with isolated rebels than with a firmly organized working class.
The second, opposing illusion, is the illusion of classless populism, employed today by social democrats, liberals, and others who believe the current social order can be preserved, or who are simply reformists. Upon closer inspection, their talk of "the unity of the people," "justice for all," and "dialogue" is mere rhetoric that conceals the inevitability of class struggle. By appealing to "everyone," they are in fact nurturing the bourgeoisie's interest in social peace and the reduction of tensions, while the structural basis of exploitation remains untouched. Their policy does not aim to overcome capitalism, but to make it more tolerable, and thereby preserve it.
From this unavoidable conflict arises one clear and unpleasant conclusion for those who strive for an "independent" stance: in a society divided into classes, there is no possibility for a neutral or supra-class politics. The attempt to adopt such a position signifies nothing but the unconscious service to the interests of one of the warring sides.
Therefore, the only truly conscious politics for the working class is neither mere syndicalist bargaining, nor the populist demand for reforms within the system, nor is it disorganized violence in the form of terrorism and heroic exploits. The only politics that consistently and fully expresses the historical interest of the working class for the final abolition of all classes and all exploitation is communism. Communism is the necessary and material movement that abolishes the present state of things. It is the practical activity through which the working class, organized around a revolutionary party, reduces the false alternatives of anarchism and social democracy to nothing and takes its destiny into its own hands.
Everything else is an illusion or a betrayal.
SOCIALISM, ANARCHISM, OR A THIRD WAY?
Within the social body of capitalism, in which classes function as an unconscious sub-organism, the interest of any particular class, in the final instance, overrides the will of its individual representatives. This scientific truth, however, is often concealed behind the mask of two seemingly opposing, yet equally pernicious, illusions.The first of these is the illusion of heroic individualism, the act of rebellious individual will, whose most stubborn defenders are often anarchists.

Fascist with Mommy Issues here, thinking of becoming a left winger..
I have been a Fascist (Metaxist Specifically) for the past 4 Years. I believe all the standard fascist talking points. But the more and more time passes, the more and more I feel like i am disillusoned with my beliefs. This started in the beggining of this year. I feel like more and more that my Christian Orthodox beliefs, that i aquired as a based trad greek nationalist faith, is in direct conflict with my third postionist beliefs which have their bases in Platonism and the Abolition of the Self to a mega organism. I started not believin in the Holocoast, but more and more I think that its possible. David Irving didn't deny it, and I am rn reading about the Posen Speeches.I am thinking of commiting a genocide to a different type of ethnic group atleast once a day, so If its possible for me, i think it would also be possible for him. I really feel like a monster… But at the same time, I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a tough place. Leftoids hate my Religion, my Nation, my Race, my Family and want to exterminate all of them. You are also idiots who allign themselves with third worldist Religious Fundamentalists and Ethnonationalists to own the White Christians11!!!! I truly hope God can help me choose the right path. Maybe I can just ignore politics and become a Christian Normie, but I feel like I need to fight for something. So yea, My Question for you is, why should I become a leftist when the left hates my Religion and People and will actively Allign with foreign religious and ethnic enemies to destroy me… If you convience me I will become a ChristSoc (there is a good party here, although its tiny it has an old history and i met them at a confrence, very good people)

Funny thing about grand revolutions: they begin with street chants and barricades and end with incense and rulebooks. The same people who promised to smash the old order end up arguing over footnotes and purity tests, reciting doctrine like a prayer and measuring virtue by who can perform the greatest act of renunciation.
If you follow that logic to its inevitable, slightly absurd conclusion, you don’t get a workers’ paradise so much as a monastery — think Mount Athos, but with manifestos. All the fire and fury collapses into cloistered doctrinal debates, and the big promise of changing the world becomes an elaborate exercise in proving who can renounce it best.
Maybe that’s the real future of communism: a bunch of terminally-onlines holed up on some island mountain — hell, maybe even Cuba — navel-gazing for eternity.

Let us not be mistaken; the mathematics of quantum physics as developed in the early 20th century is correct, within its presupposed assumptions and scales of interest of course. However, the so-called Copenhagen interpretation is wrong. It is as its name implies, only an interpretation, and a wrong one at that. Bohr and Heisenberg's conservative and anti-communist personal beliefs are well-known, this inevitably led them to wage war on the materialist conception of physics with fanatic vigour. When one moves beyond the level of pop-science and one delves into the details of this interpretation, specially its history, it is clear that Bohr and Heisenberg (mostly Bohr) behaved like goons in promoting their mystic interpretation and bullied materialist opponents such as De Broglie, Bohm and others. Even within their Copenhagen circle, they silenced and shunned self-avowed Marxists like Rosenfeld who raised pertinent questions about their interpretation. Marxists must not blindly take the word of pop-scientists and bourgeois Ivy League professors; Marxists must take the pain of reading and understanding the source material (the physics, the mathematics AND the socio-history). The Copenhagen Interpretation, in short, is the Hayek, the von Mises, the Milton Friedman equivalent of physics. It is to no surprise that old wolves like Einstein and Schrödinger were never convinced and kept howling materialist critiques at the idealist drivel. Comrades, let us take a pause from the endless IDpol, the endless revisionism v/s orthodoxy, the endless Bordiga v/s Pannekoek debates, and let us focus on the more important issue: the suffocation of correct materialist science in favour of idealist, metaphysical, quasi-religious 'science' promoted by often brilliant physicists who behave more like Gurus and Caliphs because of their conservative and reactionary personal beliefs.

An easy answer would be to simply point out thte palestian struggle. However besides the just side of the war from the side of the palestinian resistance
We can point out that the international attitudes towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be classified into four main categories, that have antagonistic intrests that can be assimilited in the intra-imperialist struggles. First, the open supporters of Israel —the US, UK, NATO member states and leading EU powers (France, Germany)— who politically, militarily and economically support the Israeli state, the Euro-Atlantic axis. Second, the powerful capitalist states of the emerging Eurasian alliance, mainly Russia and China, which maintain a cautious stance, promoting the creation of an independent Palestinian state and a peaceful solution, but aiming to strengthen their own geopolitical and economic interests. Third, regional powers in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, which sometimes cooperate and sometimes clash with the US and Israel, selectively supporting the Palestinians when it serves their interests. Saudi Arabia has suspended rapprochement with Israel, Turkey is reconsidering energy projects with Tel Aviv, while Egypt is concerned about refugee flows and the strengthening of Hamas. Finally, states such as Iran, Lebanon (through Hezbollah) and Syria are more directly involved, supporting the Palestinian resistance and maintaining an open conflict with Israel, making a generalized conflagration in the region possible.
It is obvious that the palestinian struggle does mot aim at socialist revolution but the formation of a state in general. That is necessary. However, can we say that it is progressive if the national struggle is not conmected with the social struggle? Can national indipendence even be achieved without socialism?
Imo, the delusions of multipolarism are dangerous.
They are traps against the formation of an independent peoples movement and end up assimilating any resistance against western imperialism in the intrests of the part of the national bourgeoisie that wants to allign with Russia and China. Most importantly, these delusiona conceal the eurasian imperialist camp that is begining to take form.
For example, the kicking out of french imperialism from the sahel zone is progressive but only if it is seen as a step that empowers the masses in independent struggle against imperialism. Is this what is happening there?
The truth is, of course, that behind these coup processes lies not the struggle of the peoples against exploitation, foreign and local, but intra-urban conflicts and frontal clashes of powerful imperialist forces to promote their own monopolies.
Let us give an example: Who can assure us that the coup in Niger has nothing to do with the plan to definitively bury the natural gas pipeline from Nigeria to Algeria, which would necessarily pass through Niger's territory, supplying Europe with Nigerian natural gas?
Nor, of course, is the pure "defense of democracy" behind the opposition to coups. The imperialists' interest is hypocritical and it is characteristic that France, which is now turning its back on democracy in the case of Niger, had no substantial reaction a few years ago to the coup in Chad.
The coups, which are presented as "revolutions" (note: The Greek people also have relevant experience), are carried out by sections of the bourgeois army of these countries, which in some cases rely on the indignation of popular strata both for their living conditions and for the international alliances forged by the prevailing bourgeois political force at each time. Alliances that facilitate the extraction of natural wealth and peoples. However, these coups are based on the capitalist system, while foreign designs are often involved in them. Other times, they are carried out to advance processes and manipulate popular consciousness.
In any case, these developments are not based on large popular, radical, revolutionary movements and organizations. The workers'-communist movement, which is in decline worldwide, is even weaker in Africa. Characteristically, out of the 55 countries in Africa, only 5 (Egypt, Algeria, Swaziland, South Africa, Sudan) have Communist Parties that participate in the International Meetings of Communist Parties. The workers' movement in Africa as a whole is still weak throughout the continent, since the majority of the population (over 60% and in some countries 85%) is still engaged in the agricultural sector, while approximately 15% of the economically active population is reported to work in industry.
We are talking, therefore, about developments that do not aim to liberate workers and other popular strata from capitalist exploitation, but rather about efforts to promote plans of the bourgeoisie (or parts of it) of the specific countries, which aim at their bourgeois modernization, at increasing the role and profits of the capitalists, which bring about upheavals at the level of the local "fireplaces" and their imperialist "patrons".
Through these developments, some imperialist powers emerge weakened, while others become stronger. Thus, for example, according to various estimates, the developments in Niger and the retreat of French interests are not only strengthening the emerging Eurasian imperialist bloc (China - Russia), but also the USA, as was evident from the visit to this country by B. Nuland, US Deputy Secretary of State, who secured from the coup plotters the continued existence of the two American military bases, as well as the US ties with one of the leading military figures of the junta.
On the other does the dissolution of formal colonialism mean the end of national oppression in general? I don't think so. But it is a fact that the bourgeoisie of former colonies seek more and more indipendence from western imperialism and turns towards the eurasian bloc, for its own intrests that cannot be the same as those of the working people. It is a basic marxist truth, that in the era of imperialism the bourgeoisie doesn't have common intrests with the proletariat and needs to be overthrown.
How would you go on to talk about critical support toward the struggles of former colonised peoples against imperialism without becoming a campist?

Turkiye’s parliament approved the extension on October 21, authorizing operations in Iraq and Syria through 2028 – the longest mandate since its incursions began in 2016. The measure allows continued strikes against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and ISIS. The move comes despite a peace initiative by the PKK, which earlier this year announced its disbandment and disarmament after imprisoned leader Abdullah Ocalan called for an end to the armed struggle.

Rather than fully shutting down—which would require large compensation payouts—many owners are scaling back operations, citing a lack of orders. “They downsize instead of closing completely, so they can pay less to workers,” Ma Ei explained.

Leftwinger Catherine Connolly wins Ireland presidential election by landslideThe prospect of Connolly succeeding President Michael D Higgins and serving a seven-year term at Áras an Uachtaráin, the presidential residence, thrills supporters. She speaks Irish, espouses equality and wishes to ringfence Irish neutrality from what she calls western “militarism”.

Iraq to discuss Turkiye’s extended military mandate
Turkiye’s parliament approved the extension on October 21, authorizing operations in Iraq and Syria through 2028 – the longest mandate since its incursions began in 2016. The measure allows continued strikes against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and ISIS. The move comes despite a peace initiative by the PKK, which earlier this year announced its disbandment and disarmament after imprisoned leader Abdullah Ocalan called for an end to the armed struggle.

Yangon Garment Factories Close as US Tariffs and Junta Controls Bite
The closures so far involve Chinese-owned factories in Shwepyitha’s War Tayar Industrial Zone, Hlaing Tharyar’s Mya Sein Yaung Zone, and Shwe Lin Ban Zone, according to labor groups. Rather than fully shutting down—which would require large compensation payouts—many owners are scaling back operations, citing a lack of orders. “They downsize instead of closing completely, so they can pay less to workers,” Ma Ei explained.

If we are Leninists in any meaningful sense, then we know that the working class can only get to trade-union consiousness and that it needs and outside actor to link up the movement with communism. This actor historically speaking is usually the petty-bourgeois intellectual. But let us consider the question now in say the 'west'. Can you identify a (petty-)bourgeois intellectual or a group of them, someone with enough free time on their hands that has contributed theoretically and organizationally to the movement, someone who elaborated on the nature of our movement, who wrote our Credo? No.
But what you probably can imagine is the student intellectual, which is a weak surrogate of the actual communist intellectual, because a student is usually only a free intellectual for a limited time and then they either get a good paying job (if they are in STEM) and have the same material interest as imperialism (all techincal advancment is for the war machine) or are forced to reproduce bourgeois ideology (if they are in the humane arts) after they finish their studies.
There is 1) no actual communist intellectual worth their salt that can put into words what communist demands are and 2) there is absolutely no organic working class movement against capital that can link up with these communist demands, at some point. Criticizing the movement is useless because everything that has been criticized has been done so millions of times. Talking about organization now is talking about a student communist movement with ambigious demands, a tragical kind of '68, without a semblance of an working class movement in the background.
Sproadic political terrorism, historical nihilism, a general spirit of collapse, yet the machine goes on. We need a transitional programme. We desparately need a Plekahnov for the west, someone to elaborate Marxism to us. Without commited communist intellectuals we will just go blindly and fail again. Our movement demands firm basic theory, and I hope I don't have to convince you that eclecticism, anarchism and revisionism are to be found everywhere.
The biggest danger to the movement are the intellectuals.
It's a moot point to ask 'what is to be done' if the intellectual question is not adressed first.

Killings in Israel’s Palestinian communities have sparked widespread anger and frustration among victims’ families, who accuse police of negligence and indifference toward Arab citizens.

Yemen's southern secessionists face backlash over talk of ties with Israel
For years, calls for southern secession remained largely peaceful and limited in scope. But in 2016, the separatists’ military and political influence began to grow, bolstered by weapons and funding from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Today, the STC holds control over most of Yemen’s southern provinces. "When the STC speaks about normalisation with Israel, it is following the strategy of its regional sponsor," said Adel Dashela, a non-resident fellow at MESA Global Academy.

Court throws out corruption case seeking to oust Turkish opposition leader
A TURKISH court today dismissed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the main opposition Republican People’s Party’s (CHP) 2023 leadership election, ruling there was no legal basis to remove the current leadership. The case had called for the annulment of the party’s 38th congress, held in November 2023, which saw long-time leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu replaced by Ozgur Ozel.

Welsh by-election shows far right isn’t the only alternative to establishment parties
Welsh party Plaid Cymru, an advocate for independence from the United Kingdom, delivered a major blow to both the Labour Party and Reform UK in a by-election for the devolved parliament, the Senedd. Plaid candidate Lindsay Whittle won 47% of the vote in Caerphilly, leaving Reform behind at 36% and Labour at just 11% – an astonishing 35-point drop compared to the previous election. The result marks Labour’s first loss of the seat in more than a century.

Claims by the four women leading the lawsuit - whose names are withheld for legal reasons - include being forcibly pinned to a wall before being groped, and waking up naked and bruised after a party with male officers.

Incest Prohibition
I know this is very controversial, but I think the blanket incest prohibition was a huge governmental overstep and led to a lot of problems for society. Obviously there are issues with incest, but I genuinely think if we legalised incest (with regulation) a lot of social problems would dissipate. But I don't think this would happen under capitalism, because it goes against the idea of universalising and spreading the grip of capital, gets in the way of consumerism, etc.

What were you like before you became a lefty/socialist?
Ah, I remember before I adhered to socialism, I was, and may yaldabeoh forgive me for uttering this, a libertarian.
I know many adopted socialism extremely early, that was not the case for me as I was almost always a libertarian, but I never really aligned myself with rightoids, neither did I align with other lefties, I was a sort of centrist, or in better words, a pussy fence sitter thinking I had attained true enlightenment by thinking that "both sides is… LE BAD". The process of me turning into a lefty was an extremely slow one, but it was always because rightoids seemed like retards, and I noticed most problems can easily be traced back to them. All things changed of course when I saw the complete right wing degeneracy under trump, the failings of the economy and eventually getting to read theory…
So were you always sort of Socialist? Or did you gradually shift to it? What were you like before being a left?

The contrast is wild. The West, once obsessed with enlightenment and progress, is now knee-deep in astrology memes, evangelical hysteria, and moral panic, dragging itself back into some digital Dark Age. Meanwhile, China, with its secular pragmatism and forward-facing ambition, feels like the only adult left in the room.
In a world so allergic to logic, China’s commitment to modernity feels less like politics and more like prophecy, a glimpse of what a truly 21st-century civilization could be. At this point, it might just be humanity’s last tether to sanity.
China keeps me alive
It’s honestly fascinating how China seems to be the only major civilization that hasn’t lost its grip on reason. Around 93% of Chinese citizens identify as non-religious, which, in this era of mass delusion, pseudo-spiritual performance art, and the aggressive rise of Christian fundamentalism, feels revolutionary. While much of the world is slipping deeper into superstition, conspiracy, and the intellectual decay of blind faith, China’s over there building bullet trains, quantum tech, and next-century infrastructure.The contrast is wild.

How am I supposed to avoid falling into doomerist thinking when the current state of the world seems so hopeless?
I know that any good leftist isnt meant to succumb to such nihilism but I just cant seem to stop slipping into it.
It's like no progress is being made (atleast here in Amerikkka) and instead any progress is being reverted, with conservatism becoming more popular and dominant, progressive laws being reverted, the continued destruction of the planet, Ai making the masses dumber and a general lack of class consciousness.
I just dont understand how other comrades can still stay so hopeful and determined under these conditions.
