<The CJP was created in response to remarks made on 15 May 2026 by Surya Kant, the Chief Justice of India, in which he called some activists and unemployed youth "cockroaches" and "parasites of society", sparking immediate national outrage. The name is a wordplay parodying the ruling party in India, the Bharatiya Janata Party. It achieved rapid popularity online, with the movement garnering over 350,000 sign-ups and over 22 million followers on Instagram within a week of formation.
<The CJP describes itself as "a political front of the youth, by the youth, for the youth: Secular, Socialist, Democratic, and Lazy." "We are not here to set up another PM CARES, holiday in Davos on the taxpayer's salary slip, or rebrand corruption as 'strategic spending.' We are here to ask, loudly, repeatedly, in writing, where the money went." Further, its mission is described as: "Build a party for the young people who keep getting called lazy, chronically online, and, most recently, cockroaches. That's it. That's the mission. The rest is satire."
And for the comrades who love calling any third world movement a CIA psyop your work has already been cut out for you, it's Soros and Pakistan
>In reaction to the rise of the CJP, several conspiracy theories have emerged attacking the movement. Without naming the CJP, union minister Kiren Rijiju stated on X, "I pity those who seek their followers in social media from Pakistan & George Soros gang". Union minister Sukanta Majumdar alleged that 49% of CJP followers are from Pakistan and only 9% are from India.

Anyway there's a huge discontent among the Indian youth and with their 'Chalo Sansad' march turning into a little bit of riot with police repression, internet censorship and such it's possible things will escalate from there, with what we saw in Nepal, Madagascar and so on. Genpol might be cringe libshit but it proved itself to be a political framework around which governments are toppled, and it's interesting to see this one giving lip service to socialism. Discuss.

Why do white people fail at the basic task of displaying empathy and kindness to other beings? Is it because of the christian notion of the great chain of being?
Are white people inherently evil
>"They brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks’ bells. They willingly traded everything they owned . . . They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance.

I don't understand how socialism works.
How is it even possible to end private ownership in current situation?
You guys are talking about a social takeover that ends private property by decree, but is anyone able to manage all that?
What happens to all companies then?
I ask this question because I don't consider myself a very dumb person, I studied socialism before but I still don't understand very well what it is apart from some abstract idea of ending private ownership because it allows exploitation, but the "next step" always seems weird.
Let's use this as an example: I once worked for cruise lines, I was a crew member on a cruise ship, and those companies were created by individuals and that is how theu operate.
How, in this case, take as an example Norwegian Cruise line, what would happen to it in a socialist society?
People work there, you can't just stop stuff from functioning.

Lynch ICE in the street.
The right to movement shall not be infringed
Borders are an archaic and barbaric concept. No human is illegal unless they’ve committed a crime. A REAL crime. Not just the crime of being from Mexico. Our immigration systems are purposefully undermined, underfunded, and extremely limited in the amount of people they let in to the point of functional impossibility.Lynch ICE in the street.

Liberating the productive forces
What does this mean? Practically, scientifically, it means that we overproduce by 70%. Liberating the productive forces means liberating these 70% and using them for free time, recreation and scientific advancement. Liberating the productive forces does not necessarily entail more industrialization, as some would have you believe.

I've been thinking about drones, especially small FPV ones. Everyone talks about how its going to change warfare yada yada. But the really disruptive thing is that it enables individuals to target the ruling class much easier.
Think about guns for example. Before guns, you needed to have expensive armor, swords, shields, spears, bows and extensive training to be a lethal soldier. Only the elites could afford that, and that's why peasant/slave revolutions were not only few and far between, but they all were brutally put down quite easily.
Once guns came into the picture, the elites were not so safe anymore, and there came about a change in political structures to accomodate the masses more both politically and economically.
Now I think drones are another step in this direction. Indivuduals can easily build drones, and with advances in AI, then can just create a program instructing it to fly and identify a wealthy elite and kill them. With proper op-sec, someone can release a drone a mile away in a forest, set it on its kill path, and then run away.
The elites can be killed en-masse with the security forces having a very tough time trying to counter it and identify the perpetrators. Now all of this is theoretical of course, but technological acceleration is going to make this a reality much sooner than you think.
This is why I think the push for mass surveillance is happening. The elites are aware that there is a material change coming in the relative military power of organized armies and disparate dissident lone wolfs. Mass surveillance is the only way to ensure they can counter the lone wolfs.

Lenin explicitly argued that revolutionaries MUST participate in bourgeois parliaments to exploit their internal contradictions and expose them from within. Voting for the bourgeois center-left isn't "capitulation"—it’s a tactical maneuver to buy time for the working class while developing the productive forces.
In fact, if you look at how modern AES (Actually Existing Socialism) operates, tactical compromises with global capitalism are literally standard dialectical practice. Demanding total ideological purity while material conditions aren't ready isn't Marxism; it's just utopian anarchism painted red.
Material conditions don't care about your feelings.
Read theory before calling tactical voting "liberalism"

revolution in the imperial core is unlikely but highly necessary because there is no stronger imperialist force that can come in from the outside and ruin the revolution. the third world is more immiserated and has had mores successful revolutions, but those revolutions get rolled back by CIA coups, sanctions, bombs, opportunism, revisionism, etc. the opportunism and revisionism is usually a side effect of trying to protect the gains of the revolution from a stronger outside force without being suicidal. the core would not have to do this. they are the strongest force. who's gonna bomb and sanction america if it has a revolution? china? iran? russia? DPRK? Give me a break.

Okamoto joined two other members of the Japanese Red Army in an attack on Lod Airport, now Ben Gurion Airport, near Tel Aviv on 30 May 1972. The three men arrived on a flight from Europe before retrieving rifles and grenades from their luggage and opening fire. Okamoto’s two comrades died, while Israeli forces wounded and captured him. The attack, organised with the PFLP, killed 26 people, including 17 Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico, and eight Israelis.

Concerns of Palestinian economic crisis grow as Israeli banks prepare to cut ties
The move comes against the backdrop of the Gaza war and deepening friction between Israel's right-wing government and the PA. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who oversees the waiver mechanism enabling cooperation between Israeli and West Bank lenders, has repeatedly withheld a portion of tax revenues Israel collects on the Palestinian Authority's behalf and publicly questioned the PA's legitimacy, straining an already fragile financial relationship.

A new link to Afghanistan via Uzbekistan offers a practical example of this long-term diversification push. However, observers caution that security concerns and capacity constraints could make a meaningful shift away from sea freight difficult. Officially launched in May with pilot shipments, the multi-modal freight corridor allows containers to be moved by rail from China through Kazakhstan into Uzbekistan, and then by road via Turkmenistan to Herat in western Afghanistan.

The Zionist Entity is a genocidal settler-colonial apartheid state set up by the European and North American powers to colonize the middle east. Even early zionists like Theodor Herzl understood Israel in these explicitly settler-colonial terms. Here is Herzl speaking in the 1800s, when Palestine was still Ottoman territory:
>If His Majesty the Sultan were to give us Palestine, we could offer to resolve Turkey’s finances. For Europe, we would form part of a bulwark against Asia there, we would serve as the advance post of civilisation against barbarism.
So Theodor Herzel felt not only that European people were entitled to Palestine over the people already living there (including Ottoman Jews), but that the presence of "civilized" Europeans in Israel would form a "bulwark" (forward operating base(offensive, not defensive)) against Asia, which entire continent Herzl racistly characterized as "barbaric."
Herzl was born on May 2nd , 1860 in Budapest, Hungary to a family of German speaking assimilated Jews. His father, Jakob, was a wealthy businessman and the young Theodor was expected to enter politics or engineering by his parents. In a sense, he did not disappoint, as Herzl was destined to become the father of political Zionism. While Herzl never saw his Jewish state during his lifetime, his ideology remains so influential that even today he is considered the father of Israel.
Herzl’s birthday is a holiday in Israel, his grave is a national monument, the organization he founded is still active today and the largest mountain in the country was re-named in his honor. It is not an exaggeration to say that Herzl and his ideology remain central to Zionism.
As a young man, Herzl was a fanatic Germanophile. He believed that if Jews simply tried hard enough, they could become “Germanized” and shake off what he called “shameful Jewish characteristics.” Herzl viewed German culture and language as inherently superior to that of the reviled working-class Yiddish speaking Jews. At first, he believed that Jews should be Germanized, arguing that Eastern European Jews were so "savage" and backwards that they must learn the very concepts of beauty and nobility by studying the works of authors like Goethe and Shakespeare. He initially envisioned his Zion as a German colony, and waxed poetic about importing German culture to the orient. However, as time went on, Herzl increasingly started to believe that Jews could not and should not assimilate into Europe, and the only solution to the “Jewish question” was the complete removal of all Jews from Europe. Herzl’s Zionism is fundamentally based in notions about Jewish incompatibility with gentile society. Herzl dedicated the rest of his life to his goal of a Jewish state. In 1897, he founded the World Zionist Organization, a big tent coalition of Zionists dedicated to creating a Jewish state by any means necessary. As time went on, and the "Labor" Zionist wings were increasingly persecuted by Herzl, the organization moved farther and farther to the right. Given what Herzl believed in, this is understandable. Unlike the Zionists of today, who must pretend to have some respect for the charade known as international law, Herzl was quite open about his plans.
In the view of Herzl, Israel was explicitly a colonial project, and he toured the capitals of Europe trying to drum up support and funding for his cause. Herzl cast a wide net, he was not terribly concerned with who supported him, or why. He gladly worked with some of the most extreme antisemites on earth. After many attempts to get a meeting with Tsar Nicholas II by promising to solve Russia’s “Jewish problem”, Herzl finally got a letter saying Russia would support his proposed deportation of the Jews. He kept it for the rest of his life, treating it as one of his most prized possessions.
At the same time, Tsarist forces were carrying out reactionary pogroms all throughout the so-called Pale of Settlement, the home of most of Europe’s Jews. In 1903, the same year Herzl was in correspondence with the Tsar, over seven hundred pogroms took place in Ukraine and Moldova alone resulting in the murder of thousands of Jews. In many cases, the pogroms were incited by the Tsar’s secret police and in others the guilty were simply granted clemency by the government. Herzl knew all of this, and his continued support of the Tsarist government was controversial even inside his own movement.
In the end, it was all for nothing. The Tsar did not keep his word and Herzl was perfectly willing to sacrifice thousands of Jews in exchange for empty promises. Sadly, the genocidal tendencies inside Zionism would only accelerate as the movement grew. The Tsar wasn’t the only one who used Herzl as a tool. Starting in 1896, Herzl actively worked with the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II. After a meeting with the Sultan’s advisors in the Levant to discuss strategy, Herzl threw his support behind the Armenian Genocide, a crime so vile it had cut off the Ottomans from European loans. Herzl believed that he could jump in to fill that gap, offering to pay off the empire’s increasing debts using funds raised from European Zionists in exchange for permission to start a colony in Palestine.
Although he found almost no support even inside the World Zionist Council, Herzl spent 5 years touring Europe, speaking, raising funds and writing articles in support of Turkey’s extermination of the Armenian people. Herzl cast the crumbling empire as a historical ally of the Jews and one they should support. He called the Ottomans civilized and decent people, justified in their actions due to the allegedly backwards and violent ways of the subhuman Armenians. He was even awarded a medal by the Grand Vizier in Istanbul, in commemoration of his loyal service to the Ottoman Empire.
In 1901, Herzl finally got his long-awaited meeting with the Sultan, who rejected his proposal out of hand. Once again, Herzl was perfectly willing to sacrifice thousands of lives for words on paper. Today, Herzl’s "civilized" slaughter is viewed as an act of genocide by all credible historians and groups as diverse as the United Nations, the United States Government, the European Union, the Anti-Defamation League, and the World Jewish Congress, who specifically called it “the blueprint of the Holocaust.” With his options dwindling, Herzl even turned to Cecil Rhodes, the openly white supremacist founder of the unrecognized apartheid state of Rhodesia to ask for his advice and blessing to colonize Palestine. Although his efforts amounted to nothing, the ideological connections remained, and the state of Israel became a close ally of Rhodesia. At one point, Israel was one of the only countries willing to sell weapons and licenses to its fellow apartheid states. Israel even collaborated with apartheid South Africa on its nuclear program, a direct violation of international law which was never punished.
>"You are being invited to help make history. It doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen but Jews… How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial" - Herzl in a letter to Cecil Rhodes
At best, Herzl represents the sort of reactionary, callous “realpolitik” that the state of Israel still embraces today. At worst, he was a genocidal racist willing to support even the vilest crimes to advance his movement.
Palestine Versus The Zionist Entity
We haven't had this thread in a while so I'm bringing it back.The Zionist Entity is a genocidal settler-colonial apartheid state set up by the European and North American powers to colonize the middle east. Even early zionists like Theodor Herzl understood Israel in these explicitly settler-colonial terms. Here is Herzl speaking in the 1800s, when Palestine was still Ottoman territory:
>If His Majesty the Sultan were to give us Palestine, we could offer to resolve Turkey’s finances. For Europe, we would form part of a bulwark against Asia there, we would serve as the advance post of civilisation against barbarism.

It added that the zone will be policed by a “multinational force”, known as the International Stabilisation Force (ISF), which will be equipped with “non-lethal weapons” and operate from the Israeli Amitai Camp near Gaza under the command of the board. According to the report, while aid and temporary housing will be supplied to the areas, Board of Peace officials have pledged not to import concrete into Gaza.

The most sobering part about revolution is knowing that common people cant do shit against a government unless the military or police defect or unless they have massive outside support in terms of funds, arms and training and even then they need broad popular support. This is the reason that if any country today went overtly fascist the individual will have absolutely no agency in deciding their own fate unless they flee the country beforehand and if the country in question is a global power not even that qill save you. If the state is after you, you cant fight, you cant run and you cant hide. They will get you where ever the fuck you go and you cant even hide a single second of your life from them if they decide to go after you with the ir resources. Every single one of us is literal property of the government and you not experiencing death/torture/mutilation/inprisonment/rape and much more is the mercy of those that rule you. Soon we will have mind control and quantum computing so not even your thoughts will be sacred anymore. Nothing you own including your rights, possesions and even body is truly safe. The day you realize this is the day you grow up and become depressed like a real adult.

Living in a Muslim country this is especially obvious with Islam. Before our societies obviously weren't "secular", but religion was much more rooted in local cultures, regional history and different traditions. A lot of what people now present as Islam(that has always existed) really comes out of the Sahwa movement of the 1970s, when Gulf states poured money into exporting their version of Islam through preachers, universities and televangelists.
But it's not just Islam. American evangelical Christianity's televangelist boom took off around the same era. Modern identity politics many strands of contemporary feminism and various political movements also took the forms we recognize today during the 1970s.

But something else is at play, and that would be how the left (especially left-liberals) has often adopted ageism for opportunistic reasons, whether it’s by dismissing the concerns of young men even when they’re part of their own electorate, belittling their opposition by infantilising them, or when they dismiss criticism of them by using adultist language (e.g.,: “Let the adults in the room speak”). Now, not everything I mentioned is exclusive to the political left, as plenty of rightists and centrists use the same tactics I mentioned. Nevertheless, it doesn’t do mainstream leftists any favor when they do it too out of political and rhetorical expedience as well as to dismiss opposition against them in facile ways.
But it’s not the elders who are at fault, as younger leftists are responsible for the current predicament by either validating these adultist beliefs or by remaining silent on it. An example of enabling would be ”puriteens” who will vociferously try to shut down any discourse on sexuality (even if it relates to that of LGBTQ+ youth) based on ageist premises, and they’re partly the reason for the resurgence of purity culture among zoomers.
And then there’s the obvious unwillingness within most leftists to challenge ageist laws such as the voting age limit and the current age ID regimes that are spreading across the world. So their inaction isn’t just enabling the oppression of youths, but that of everybody else as well.
I could list many other problems, but you get the point: If the left really wants to gain ground among young people, they should campaign for the self-determination of young people too, for…

The left has an adultist problem
Of you’ve followed recent news, then it’s not hard to see that an increasing portion of young men are turning to the right whilst the left is greying its hair. Part of the reason is due to the “4chan-ification“ of mainstream social media which, depending on whom you ask, is occurring either because big tech has found that the best way to retain young males is by turning their apps into 4chan, or because of the right-wing turn within the big tech cartel that has successfully lobbied the US government on its behalf for years on end, itself since as liberal democracy falters so fascism is unleashed to protect capital and part of it involves turning normies into chuds and wignats to prep them into war mode jingoism.But something else is at play, and that would be how the left (especially left-liberals) has often adopted ageism for opportunistic reasons, whether it’s by dismissing the concerns of young men even when they’re part of their own electorate, belittling their opposition by infantilising them, or when they dismiss criticism of them by using adultist language (e.g.,: “Let the adults in the room speak”).

Two Russian men jailed in Angola for terrorism and spying
Angolan prosecutors said Lakshtanov and Ratchin wanted to influence next year’s presidential elections, including by funding Angola’s largest opposition party, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), or by forcing a leadership change within the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), which has ruled the country since independence from Portugal in 1975. Prosecutors also claimed the men were linked to Africa Politology, a Russian disinformation and propaganda network that emerged from the Wagner mercenary group.

Pakistan rejects Amnesty's call for investigation into air strike on Kabul rehabilitation centre
The human rights group says the attack amounts to a war crime, but Pakistan dismissed the allegations today, claiming the operation was a lawful act of self-defence. Foreign Ministry spokesman Tahir Andrabi told a news briefing in Islamabad that Pakistan “completely rejects the allegations,” saying it was “unfortunate” that such serious claims had been made “without any credible evidence.”

Split in Turkish opposition CHP becomes official: Özgür Özel announces new party
At least 80 of the CHP’s 135 deputies and the elected provincial chairs of 74 of the country’s 81 provinces attended the meeting. The founding petition of the new party is expected to be submitted to the Interior Ministry in the coming days. This will formalize the de facto split within the main opposition party since May 21, when a court, exceeding the limits of its jurisdiction, removed the CHP’s elected leadership through a ruling of “absolute nullity” and reinstated the former leadership of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.

Yemen's Houthi rebels attack two Saudi oil tankers in Red Sea as US bombs Iran for 12th night
The Houthis’ Saba news agency said today that their forces had struck two tankers, the Encelia and the Layla, in the Red Sea the day before, sparking fires on both. That would be the first reported Yemeni attack on a vessel since the Houthis announced a blockade of Saudi-linked shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait earlier this week in retaliation for the autocratic kingdom’s blockade of Yemen and a recent attack on the international airport in the capital Sanaa.

Suspension of political parties seeks to undermine Ecuador’s largest opposition force, warn critics
Last week, Ecuador’s Contentious-Electoral Tribunal (TCE) decided to temporarily suspend the AMIGO political party, thereby barring it from participating in the upcoming local elections to be held on November 29, 2026. Why? According to the body, it upheld a complaint filed by the prosecutor in charge, Carlos Alarcón, regarding alleged money laundering by party leaders, although the bulk of the evidence has been classified as confidential.

Children relapsing into malnutrition has become an increasingly common occurrence in the state and across northern Nigeria, according to local health and aid workers, who cite knock-on effects from the Iran war. Northern Nigeria, one of the world’s poorest regions, is already under pressure from an insurgency crisis. Now, the conflict in the Middle East has worsened food security for millions of people living in poverty, especially children.

>Pick one success and one failure from any historical socialist state.
Not necessarily the biggest or most famous examples, just the ones you think have the most to teach us. What happened? Why did it succeed or fail? Was it a matter of policy, leadership, material conditions, foreign pressure, bureaucracy, ideology, or something else? I'm less interested in moral judgments and more interested in what lessons can actually be drawn from it. Could be the USSR, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, the GDR, Burkina Faso under Sankara, or anywhere else.
Bonus points if you pick something other than the usual "USSR industrialization" or "Great Leap Forward."

Obviously the corporate class seeks exponential growth at all costs. From that perspective the most evil actions will make a kind of internal sense.

Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect. I attempt to correct it ITT.
Unequal exchange, Mao/Chinese aesthetics and purely performative MLM rhetoric has grown in recent years… But with time comes change.
The original 90s ThirdWorldism "movement", centered in north-america diverged from MLM on a variety of theoretical issues, most crucially the revolutionary nature of the proletariat. They supplemented their divergence with integrating post-Marxist turns happening in word-systems theory (which was ongoing in western academia between the 80s and 90s). As ""Maoism" ThirdWorldism" largely accomplished nothing, other than maybe increasing confusion in the communist movement during the era of blackest reaction, we mostly remember them by their cartoony writing and online media available through archives from that era.
So if 90s Third Worldism was a north-american revisionist offshoot from MLM which integrated non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and rejecting revolution in the imperial core for rhetorical "support" of [far off, peripheral countries]… What are the particularities of the contemporary expression?
2020s Third Worldism can be observed as being a north-american right-wing revisionist movement which retains both the non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and the purely symbolic appeals to Mao, but now replacing the "MLM" pretender framing for the simpler, safer state ideology of social-imperialist China; that also just so happens to feign adherence to 'Mao Zedong Thought', even after it was systematically replaced with the Bukharinist-Dengist capitulationist counterrevolution. which is continued today, the true basis for Xi Jinping Thought, as the bureaucrat-monopoly capitalist heading the political line of the party has only deepened the cementation of a new pole in the capitalist imperialist world system since Deng, when neither as many NEZ, stock markets, overall % of bourgeois in the party or billionaires existed in China. Mao Zedong Thought lives on in the rural and urban areas of any militant area of the world where the struggle is advanced. Not in the cultural exports of US and Chinese imperialist dogs.
This 20 min zoom call encapsulates the political analysis and tactics of Dengism-ThirdWorldism perfectly:
>What is the path toward socialism? (Vijay Prashad (Tricontinental), Radhika Desai (Geopolitical Economy Report), Torkil Lauesen & Immanuel Ness - Lauesen a late 20th century ThirdWorldist adventurist in Denmark, both non-Wallerstinian Unequal Exchange theorists)
https://youtu.be/KR9PbqqdiLg
Maybe archive it, as their utterances, especially Prashad's, are sure to age badly
What some real examples of concrete crystallizations of Dengism-ThirdWorldism?
· Parties: PSL, CPI (Maupin), ACP (post-MIGA), Workers Party (UK, Galloway)
· Orgs/media outlets: The Tricontinental, Friends of Socialist China, BreakThrough News, Geopolitical Economy Report, Xiao Collective, Critical Theory Workshop, Wave Media
In summary, the revolutionary pretense of a "Maoism" ThirdWorldism has been radically muted this time around actually, if we pay attention. The reason is because astroturfing a Dengism ThirdWorldism is actually way cheaper, as appeals to pacifism, reformism, peaceful coexistence, human rights and authority of the UN and speech rather than revolution requires the petty bourg (US) and nat bourg (China) forces funding these groups to expend way less money (it would also indicate the bare minimum of conflictuality outside of mere capitalist competition).
Materialist analysis: ThirdWorldism - second time as farce.
Recently saw a discussion in regards to "Third Worldism" as in MLM + unequal exchange (a non-Wallerstinian branch of world systems theory) having grown in influence in the anglophone/western, largely online, "communist" spaces.Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect.

Citing US officials, the report said the agreement, which is worth tens of billions of dollars, is expected to last 30 years. During that period, US companies would build a uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia if a joint study determined such a step is warranted. The move would ensure US oversight to prevent the use of nuclear enrichment for military purposes while eliminating foreign competition.

New legislation and arrests are driving a rift between Burkina Faso’s military government and Muslim scholars
Alongside the domestic tensions, Traore recently received Israel’s new ambassador to Burkina Faso, Simon Seroussi, in Ouagadougou to present his credentials. … Traore’s public reception of the ambassador appears to mark a shift from the caution previously shown by his inner circle, which had sought to preserve his anti-Western image. It also comes as Israeli security agencies expand cooperation with members of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), the bloc formed by Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, whose governments have expressed interest in Israeli security technology.

Expert: Gum arabic second only to gold in financing Sudan’s war
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has warned, as previously reported by Radio Dabanga, that Sudan’s war economy is helping to prolong the conflict, with the war increasingly fuelled by control over natural resources and trade routes, exposing global supply chains to serious human rights risks. It called on all parties to the conflict, as well as states and companies involved in the Sudanese gum arabic trade, to ensure compliance with international law.

>“The age of Willkommenskultur is over, the era of mass deportations has begun,” commented the Sweden Democrats party, whose MEP Charlie Weimers played a central role as ECR’s shadow rapporteur.
>In a rare show of unity on the European Right, the directive was adopted not only by the national conservative groups (PfE, ECR, and ESN) but also the EPP, which votes together with the leftist parties in the vast majority of cases.
>Most importantly, the new law will introduce a mutual recognition and enforcement obligation between member states regarding deportation orders, meaning migrants cannot circumvent return decisions by moving to a different EU country and restarting the process. A return order in one country will legally count as a valid order in all of them.
>Another important point is the introduction of third-country return hubs, making it possible for member states to externalize return procedures by sending migrants to secure facilities outside EU territory to wait for the end of the process, ensuring they won’t escape implementation once the paperwork’s done.

Now of course this has cause MASSIVE domestic economic issues, and while yes the national bourgeoisie has benefited from not having to deal with constant strikes and coal wars, it now has to deal with an uncompetitive economy with no backboard of stability to lay on, other then.. the commodity of oil, the only commodity that still holds inherent value because of its extremely vital role to the development of capitalism, almost every other resource commodity that has been used, whether Diamonds being produced in labs, or gold being mass mined, are no longer the centre of exchange, ONLY OIL, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE PETRODOLLAR. oh and also some of the petite-bourgeoisie but they play a smaller, and dying role.
Truly the biggest contradiction in America is the contradiction between the national bourgeoisie, what can be called the “federal” bourgeoisie, and the international bourgeoisie who controls oil!
It is in the best interest of the national bourgeoisie to hold the global oil supply themselves, as it would retain American domination internationally, thereby preventing the internal contradiction of the petite and state bourgeoisie, or the unemployed, from causing collapse.

The biggest contradiction in American Capitalism is not the industrial proletariat and the bourgeoisie anymore. With the industrial basis of the USA dying mostly out, as seen from the rust belt, we can see this industrial basis being diverted to the third world.Now of course this has cause MASSIVE domestic economic issues, and while yes the national bourgeoisie has benefited from not having to deal with constant strikes and coal wars, it now has to deal with an uncompetitive economy with no backboard of stability to lay on, other then.. the commodity of oil, the only commodity that still holds inherent value because of its extremely vital role to the development of capitalism, almost every other resource commodity that has been used, whether Diamonds being produced in labs, or gold being mass mined, are no longer the centre of exchange, ONLY OIL, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE PETRODOLLAR. oh and also some of the petite-bourgeoisie but they play a smaller, and dying role.

Defense officials said participants would undergo expedited training before crossing into Ukraine.
>The decision follows weeks of intensified Russian missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, as Kyiv's newly appointed military leadership has pledged renewed counteroffensive operations. European Union diplomats, meanwhile, remain locked in negotiations over another package of sanctions against Moscow amid disagreements among several member states.
>The Kremlin denounced the French initiative as "a reckless provocation," warning that any organized volunteer formations receiving French logistical assistance would be treated as "legitimate military targets."
>Russia's Foreign Ministry accused Paris of "abandoning the distinction between indirect assistance and direct participation," though it stopped short of announcing retaliatory measures against France itself.

Deng Xiaoping Theory saved Marxism from irrelevance.
Deng Xiaoping Theory saved Marxism from irrelevance by shifting its focus from perpetual class struggle to practical economic development. In the late 1970s, orthodox Marxist-Leninist economies faced severe stagnation and widespread poverty. Deng revitalized the ideology by introducing market mechanisms into a socialist framework, creating a model that allowed communist states to survive and thrive in a modern globalized world. [1]Rebranding Productive Forces
Prioritizing wealth: Deng argued that poverty is not socialism.
Redefining communism: He stated that true socialism must develop productive forces.
Shifting metrics: Economic output replaced ideological purity as the primary goal. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Decoupling Markets from Capitalism
Pragmatic tools: Markets and planning were viewed as economic tools, not defining political traits.
Market Socialism: He proved market mechanisms can serve a socialist economy.
Foreign capital: China opened doors to global investment while maintaining state control. [7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
The "Seek Truth from Facts" Philosophy
Rejecting dogma: Deng discarded blind adherence to utopian Marxist theories.
Results-oriented: Policies were judged by their ability to raise living standards.
Famous dictum: "It does not matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice." [12]
Institutionalizing Party Control
Economic freedom: Citizens gained the ability to start businesses and accumulate wealth.
Political monopoly: The Communist Party retained absolute control over major state industries.

it's easy to understand then why marx approved of european colonialism as marxist, taking hunter-gatherer groups into capitalist societies was a progressive act.
so then, where did this "europe bad, pre-colonial societies good" nu left come from? is it not reactionary?
colonialism is marx approved?
marx loved europe, european progress, 18th century liberalism, capitalism, and believed only through that high point of civilizational evolution communism can be achieved.it's easy to understand then why marx approved of european colonialism as marxist, taking hunter-gatherer groups into capitalist societies was a progressive act.

Being ruled by the wise is undoubtedly the best system of government. Philosopher kings are chads, and what better system than to be ruled by chads?
The Republic is the defining work of all western political philosophy so it should be natural that we turn to it.
Plato's Republic
Why would the society described in Plato's Republic be undesirable according to a Marxist perspective? We know all the problems with democracy and how the masses of people can't be trusted. Plus the republic abolishes private property and calls for communal raising of children, which Marxists also support.Being ruled by the wise is undoubtedly the best system of government.

<50s-70s:
ML-MZT is a part of the revolutionary pole of Marxism-Leninism, along with Socialist Albania and the still revolutionary wave of subsequent parties, red armies and masses internationally basing themselves on this praxis; which fought the reactionary turn that resulted in numerous setbacks in the international workers movement during the post-war period. Influenced both by the hot wars waged in US imperialism's so-called "Cold War" as well as the now great power chauvinist USSR having capitulated the weapon of Lenin and transforming into a social-imperialist obstacle, funding pacifist reformist, anti-revolutionary parties the world over. Mao, in direct communication with parties seeking revolutionary guidance all over the world clarifies a tactical point on protracted peoples war [PPW]: it is a tactic working specifically for semi-colonial / semi-feudal areas and not for largely urbanized or imperialist countries, where the "October road" tactic should be used. This is important to keep in mind later on in the post.
CPP forms in the 60s around Marcos dictatorship period. The party is influenced by ML-MZT.
TKP/ML forms in the 70s in the midst of Turkish state anti-communist repression. Party leader Kaypakkayakaya assassinated early. Reorganizations and splits define this early period until mid 90s.
<80s-90s:
MLM appears as a group of competing interpretations, tendencies, backgrounds (and eventual results), trying to assess the lessons of the Chinese revolution and the potential nature of Maoism as a new stage of development. Abimael Guzman ("Gonzalo") gains influence thinking he has found a "new synthesis" after a trip to China during the Cultural Revolution. The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement [RIM] formed in the mid 80s and peaking in influence in the mid to late 90s, dissolving from inactivity in the early 2010s. Foundational and leading parties were PCP-SL (Gonzalo), RCPUSA (Avakian), TKP/ML and a south asian multitude Maoist groups (pre early 2000s period of reorganization, consolidation and major growth). They end up drawing dispairate conclusions on the fundational question of what 'Maoism'"is".
PCP-SL launches their campaign in the Peruvian countryside, elevating the principal nature of Maoism having been uncovered through 'Gonzalo Thought', growth is made easier in part by the social emiseration through hyperinflation initiated during the social fascist presidency of Alan García. A wrecked population and particularly peruvian agricultural workers of indigenous background, turned to the Maoists. President García commits suicide by gunshot (a rare poetic suicide, the political-economic actions of his admin. clearly "hit the fan" in a similar sense) and is followed by Alberto Fujimori, a Japanese capitalist with deep connection to both Peruvian intelligence as well as supported by US intelligence now actively monitoring the situation). Fujimori is growing a political dynasty in Peru of which he hyper-exploits with clear disdain for the Peruvian people. Later it is revealed that his campaigns were funded and aided by the US, even militarily and that his side murdered more peruvians in the civil war. One tactic tactic utilized by the Fujimori dictatorship was the forced sterilization program disguised as public health / economic development, specifically targeting impoverished Peruvian indigenous women. 300.000 women were sterilized.
The PCP-SL tries to connect the rural base areas by growing into the urban environment. The civil war is now at its peak in a now military dictatorship. Having the entire hierarchy of the party written down and organized on a personal computer in the urban area he hides in, Gonzalo is a single point of failure. In '92 the Peruvian state finds him, raids the place and decapitates the party in one sweep. The Peruvian movement has still not recovered. It's partially due to 'Gonzalo Thought' proclaiming importance to Jefetura transl. 'Great Leadership' which places emphasis on a singular "Great Leader" being a key aspect this theoretical "advance".
RIM's "contribution" then was the announcing the universality of this Maoism, which also includes the "universality" of the PPW, around '93, following his capture.
CPP enters a Second Great Rectification in 1992, a key turn for the party's success, with adjusting their praxis, expelling a variety of negative elements that have managed to enter the organization(s) and which are inflicting problems. Some were literal Gorbachevites that wanted to liquidate the armed communist basis for the legal organizations, others were left-adventurists (people advocating tactics that sound like 90s LatAm adventurists, whether Gonzaloist or Guevarists). CPP seeks to persecute these elements. CPP adopts MLM, without adding 'Gonzalo Thought' "contributions", or joining RIM. these years CPP struggles against such deviationist tendencies, reemerging as hostile parties, kept afloat by petty bourgeois sympathizers, gangster networks and reformists. CPP manages to persecute some (red areas constitute dual power, a state within the bourgeois state of the philippines), others happen to be killed (not proscribed party policy). Brief tumult ensues for some years in the philippine communist movement. CPP emerges victorious.
TKP/ML conflict with state escalates in the mid 90s, in a brutal power struggle. Its power base is the Kurdish community in Turkey. As I have limited info on the situation it's safe to limit the statement to the fact that the repression appears to remain unsuccessful as the culture of the region still is supportive (corresponding to Irish views of IRA / socialist republicans).
RCPUSA takes a turn away and in the late 90s "creates" "his own" "synthesis". It becomes another cult. Today they mostly protest and theatrically praise Bob Avakian himself in the manner a black book of communism chapter would characterize what a socialist mode of production is.
In the 90s M3W is formed as less of a political force and more of… an art project, in North America. Their activity consists of media engagement, primarily online. Their "theoretical elaboration" (that the proletariat in any imperialist nation is structurally incapable of revolution) deviate from MLM and MZT theory and practice, while retaining the militant verbiage and symbolism. They don't last more than a decade in terms of noticeable output, are still technically existing today as "MIM (Prisons)" which also still just posts stuff online, which can be described as "bizarro US exceptionalism".

>Jefatura
I actually don't agree with Jefatura and I believe in Collective Leadership, so I will not dispute the article about this.
>Universality of Protracted Peoples War & Militarization of the Party
I strongly disagree with the article on this. It cites Mao a lot but the point is that the period where PPW is universal is a new development. It's just dogmatism to say that because a development of a theory had not been done at the time a thinker was alive, that thinker would not have supported the development. The article's point that it is "petit-bourgeois" since in China it was based on a broad alliance of the people is silly, in urban situations it is assumed the people mean the working class, lumpens and progressive PBs.
It's all well and good to support this "October Road", but this hasn't realistically been a thing in like a hundred hears. It's just dogmatism to old ways to try and do what has only lead to stagnation and revisionism for the last 70-80 years.
PPW is universal (can be used in Urban and Rural, 1st world and 3rd world) and every party should be ready for war. It's actually especially applicable to the 1st world since the intelligence apparatus will destroy any peaceful and legal party. Everyone knows revisionism is a constant fight, and its one they only have to win once while we have to win every time. The subjective situation is that revolution could be any day (even if you don't agree with PPW) and not being organised as an army just means you will miss that. The objective situation is good for revolution. The article says what is proven is what is correct. Well, PPW is the only realistic and provable way for revolution in the 1st and 3rd world. The October Road is a fantasy in modern day 1st world countries.
I have other points but doing work at the moment.

In joint US-Ecuador military operations between March 1 and 6, in a border settlement near Colombia, HRW said that Ecuadorian soldiers “arbitrarily detained and tortured” four dairy farm workers as they burned three properties. They later dropped munitions on two of those locations. One of the detained men said the soldiers “tortured me with electricity, with a taser”. “They poured water on me and then shocked me, and I passed out. I lost consciousness at least twice,” he told HRW investigators.

Ecuadorian Teachers March to Defend Labor Rights and Public Education
The demonstrators oppose Ministerial Agreement 045A, which increases the workload beyond the 40-hour workweek by requiring teachers to work on Saturdays. The ministerial decision disregards acquired rights and shifts responsibility to educators for addressing structural deficiencies left unresolved by the state, including a lack of funding and personnel.

De la Espriella proposed his friend, Senator Alfredo Deluque of the U Party, to assume the leadership of the Senate, which would have given the government control over the congressional agenda.

The berm was about 500 meters (0.3 miles) long on 1 July. By 15 July, it was about 2.4 kilometres (1.5 miles), splicing the Israel-controlled ruins of the city of Rafah from Muwasi, site of some of the largest Palestinian tent camps. If construction continues in its current direction, it will join up with the longest stretch of the barrier, which runs nearly unbroken for around 17 kilometres (10 miles) from the southern city of Khan Younis to near Gaza City, in the north.

Sudan inflation accelerates as food and transport costs drive fresh price surge
Inflationary pressures are gathering pace again as war, disrupted supply chains and a weakening currency push up the cost of living across Sudan. Sudan’s annual inflation rate climbs sharply to 51.28% in June, up from 44.5% in May, signalling a return of inflationary pressures after a period of relative slowdown, according to the country’s latest consumer price indices.

'Help, help, that's enough': Anger after Morroccan dies under police restraint in Italy
The incident has been likened to George Floyd's murder in the United States six years ago, and also prompted comparisons with tactics used by the US's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under President Donald Trump. Abderrahim Fakir, a 42-year-old from Morocco who moved to Italy when he was five, died Sunday in Bologna while being forcibly held down by two police officers, according to a video shared widely on Italian media.

Outrage in France as Macron appoints senator who fought gay marriage to key rights job
Described by critics as an archconservative, Buffet took part in protests against same-sex marriage in 2013 and voted against extending medically assisted reproduction to single women and female couples in 2021. He also abstained during a landmark 2024 vote on enshrining the right to abortion in the French constitution. The senator favours cutting back on state-funded medical care for undocumented migrants – a growing demand of the political right, which health workers described as an ethical aberration and a risk to public health.

Chelyabinsk Activist Ends Election Bid After Jump From Window to Escape Police
Popov, known for his writing on public transit and urban development, was beaten by two men in camouflage last year. At the time, the blogger said he believed the assault was connected to his public opposition to a local forest construction project.

Australia spent more than $9m for each asylum seeker held on Nauru last year – so why can’t they afford to buy food?
Nauru’s population of about 13,000 is heavily reliant on imported goods. More than 90% of food consumed is imported and prices on the island can fluctuate depending on availability and trade disruptions. Vegetables such as tomatoes, capsicums and onions cost about $18 a kilo – up to three times as much as similar goods in Australia. Rakib has been on Nauru for 2.5 years after attempting to get to Australia by boat. He says the situation has worsened in recent months: the cost of a single banana has risen from $1.50 to about $4.

Thousands protest in India after clashes, despite Modi assuring action on exams
Thousands of supporters of India's youth-led "cockroach" movement protested in Delhi on Tuesday, a day after violent clashes with police, and in spite of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vow to punish those behind damaging exam leaks. More than 5,000 protesters gathered at Delhi's Jantar Mantar protest site, after their march on parliament to demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan ended in violent clashes with police on Monday.

Civilians faced attacks, abuse in joint US-Ecuador operations, HRW saysIn joint US-Ecuador military operations between March 1 and 6, in a border settlement near Colombia, HRW said that Ecuadorian soldiers “arbitrarily detained and tortured” four dairy farm workers as they burned three properties. They later dropped munitions on two of those locations. One of the detained men said the soldiers “tortured me with electricity, with a taser”. “They poured water on me and then shocked me, and I passed out. I lost consciousness at least twice,” he told HRW investigators.

Ecuadorian Teachers March to Defend Labor Rights and Public Education
The demonstrators oppose Ministerial Agreement 045A, which increases the workload beyond the 40-hour workweek by requiring teachers to work on Saturdays. The ministerial decision disregards acquired rights and shifts responsibility to educators for addressing structural deficiencies left unresolved by the state, including a lack of funding and personnel.

De la Espriella denied aspired control over Colombia’s Congress
Colombia’s Congress denied control over the legislative agenda to President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella and voted for a president loyal to former President Alvaro Uribe. De la Espriella proposed his friend, Senator Alfredo Deluque of the U Party, to assume the leadership of the Senate, which would have given the government control over the congressional agenda.

Sometimes I really wonder how some Western leftists see the world. I genuinely can't comprehend how people can be this wrong about politics. I wouldn't even call them naive, because that would be unfair to children, who usually have a better grasp of politics than they do.
Anyone whose read history or just lives in the world know that labor unions are at best, basically social clubs that can negotiate for better pay, a few extra vacation days and decent benefits. At worst they're quasi-mob patronage networks and more often than they're somewhere in between. But in times of war or serious conflict, they almost always end up aligning with some form of ethnonationalist politics. You can find examples of this in virtually every part of the world throughout history.

Take any piece of media about the French Resistance. They usually depict Resistance fighters killing scores of German soldiers. In reality most of the Resistance's activity was directed against other French people, Army, local police and officials loyal to the Vichy regime. Most of whom would would have argued that they were serving the legitimate French government. When collaborators appear in media at all, they're reduced to a single corrupt businessman hiding among an otherwise united population of heroic resisters.
The same pattern appears in many post-colonial nations. National histories and media go to great lengths to avoid discussing the local elites who allied with European empires to gain advantages over rival nobles or political factions. Also the role of ethnic groups that joined colonial police forces or colonial armies is frequently downplayed because it complicates the story of a united people resisting foreign rule. Even Americans downplay the fact that a significant portion of the colonial population were American-born Loyalists who supported and fought with Britain during the Revolutionary War.
The Inability to Accept the true extent of Collaboration
Something I've been thinking about a lot is that whether in the West, East, or South, societies rarely want to acknowledge just how much collaboration actually took place during wars and occupations.Take any piece of media about the French Resistance.

During an Independence Day speech in the poor south of Bogota, Petro told thousands of supporters that “the next president of Colombia will be a servant to the rulers of the United States who helped him ‘get elected’.” “We move from the status of a republic to the status of a viceroyalty again, just like 216 years ago,” said Petro, who on Sunday accepted to become the political leader of the leftist opposition. " It is time to give the second cry of independence… Shout freedom and resistance!" Rather than a repetition of the 1810 revolution, the outgoing president proposed to “prepare for peaceful resistance” in defense of communities who benefited from the government’s reforms.

“There won’t be any more elections here for them to try to seize the government and seize power,” he said during a speech on Sunday at an event commemorating the 1979 Sandinista revolution. “The days when parties backed by the Yankees and the Somocistas would return to power are over – never again,” he added, according to the Reuters news agency.

‘Front groups and fellow travelers’: state department attacks US left over Cuba
The state department report alleges that the so-called campaign is “designed to turn America against itself” and singles out several left-leaning activists and organizations, including the Democratic Socialists of America, Isra Hirsi – the daughter of Minnesota Democratic representative Ilhan Omar – New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, and journalist Amy Goodman, citing their criticism of US policy toward Cuba or participation in Cuba solidarity movements.

Lebanese president to meet Trump as 'pilot zones' experiment begins
The idea of the so-called pilot zones is that as Israeli forces move out, the LAF will move in to take over the task of disarming Hezbollah. It's unclear how the ill-equipped Lebanese army has been determined as ready for such a task, and whether it would be willing to fight Hezbollah's soldiers. But Washington did announce a $30m boost to the LAF - which relies on US funding - last month.

Yemen's Houthis declare naval blockade against Saudi Arabia
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday they were imposing a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, drawing a warning from the Saudi-led coalition that it would respond "firmly", in a move that threatens to disrupt global energy supplies beyond the Gulf. The Houthis' armed forces in a statement said they were declaring "a maritime embargo against the criminal Saudi enemy, based on the equation of 'an eye for an eye', effective immediately".

Indian authorities clampdown on Cockroach Party protesters
Police fired tear gas and charged at protesters with batons after demonstrators tried to breach security barricades surrounding the protest site in central New Delhi, marking one of the most serious confrontations yet in the movement’s campaign against far-right Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. The crowd at Jantar Mantar, a designated site for protests just a few miles from the parliament building, included students, professionals and families with young children.

NLMRC sues lawyers representing anti-mining communities in Nueva Vizcaya
The complaint against Atty. Santos arose from a video posted on Facebook in which he questioned the company’s claim that it consulted affected communities before starting exploration. Residents say the company used an attendance sheet from another activity to support its record of consultation. The complaint against Atty. Balgos stems from his interview on local radio station DWRV, where he said the company engaged in “illegal and dishonest practices.”

Fast-moving wildfire in southern France forces evacuations, burns homes in Var region
A fast-moving wildfire in southern France forced dozens of residents to evacuate on Sunday as more than 600 firefighters and water-bombing aircraft battled the blaze. Fanned by strong winds and dry vegetation, the fire near Draguignan burned 10 homes, damaged nine others and slightly injured one firefighter, authorities said.

In his founding declaration, Tsipras calls for a “new patriotism” and “a sovereign, democratic, strong and secure Greece.” He combines this crude nationalist rhetoric with a handful of social phrases about justice and democracy, designed above all to pull the wool over the eyes of young people and workers who are searching for a political alternative to the ND government.

Andy Burnham vows to ‘bring back hope’ as he unveils his cabinet
In another senior appointment, Louise Haigh, Burnham’s right-hand woman, was made first secretary of state and chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, running a beefed-up Cabinet Office that will be the “political engine room” driving his agenda. Yvette Cooper will move from the Foreign Office to the Department of Health, where she will oversee Burnham’s plans to transform the broken social care system, while Pat McFadden stays at the Department for Work and Pensions. Angela Rayner, the former deputy prime minister who resigned after a row over stamp duty, was reappointed to her previous role as housing secretary.

marx:
>Bakunin has become a monster, a huge mass of flesh and fat, and is barely capable of walking any more. To crown it all, he is sexually perverse and jealous of the seventeen year-old Polish girl who married him in Siberia because of his martyrdom.
bakunin:
<By origin Marx is a Jew. One might say that he combines all of the positive qualities and all of the short comings of that capable race. A nervous man, some say to the point of cowardice, he is extremely ambitious and vain, quarrelsome, intolerant, and absolute, like Jehovah, the Lord God of his ancestors, and, like him, vengeful to the point of madness. There is no lie or calumny that he would not invent and disseminate against anyone who had the misfortune to arouse his jealousy – or his hatred, which amounts to the same thing. And there is no intrigue so sordid that he would hesitate to engage in it if in his opinion (which is for the most part mistaken) it might serve to strengthen his position and his influence or extend his power

Normies look at the actually existing Left, what it claims for itself and what it claims to be wanting to do, the immense difficulty of it, and they laugh and they do not want to touch it, with their lack of time, money and energy, *and they are not wrong to do so*. It isn't (all) 'muh false consciousness'.
You cannot be seen as just a performatively radical subculture which despises, in practice, most normal people. You cannot fear populist politics because gasp you may have to rub shoulders with people with some dodgy and confused politics. That is the name of the game.
This is why griftoids like ACP get some of the credibility they do because at least they are willing to say the emperor has no clothes and not to just hate normal people.
This sentiment really is the dominant attitude of so much of the Left and it fizzes off so many of us all the time. And I hate it.

Serve the people
Despite some of the inherited Leftist rhetoric, a lot of modern Leftoids and especially American ones, jfc, just come across as hating and despising most ordinary people. If you think they are irredeemably racist and sexist, patriarchal, white supremacist, contaminated with so many 'bad ideas' and the 'muck of ages' that they need to be 'deprogrammed' before they can begin to be part of your oh so effective attractive politics (lol), any notion that the Left is interested in, let alone capable of, helping to produce a mass workers' movement will just not be credible. If your party is full of people who are agoraphobic shut-ins who won't be told that if they want to be ultra radical activist whatevers then they need to speak to normal people and be marginally normal, then you'll be laughed at, and with good reason.Normies look at the actually existing Left, what it claims for itself and what it claims to be wanting to do, the immense difficulty of it, and they laugh and they do not want to touch it, with their lack of time, money and energy, *and they are not wrong to do so*.

i see people here constantly talk about theory and the writers of said theory so i'm kinda curious what everyone's taste is for stuff outside of philosophy.

genuinely, why the FUCK is no one talking about el niño?
usually the media will use known nothingburgers to alarm people while sweeping actual happenings under the rug, compare ebola/hantavirus to the covid pandemic, for example. the fact that we're all dead silent about this potentially never-before-seen happening is extremely worrying to me, what do they know? is it really as bad as current predictions? could it be fucking worse?
the most optimistic predictions would place this as the worst el niño in history, even worse than the 19th century one which resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. now, combine that with pre-existing shortages in the supply chains due to the iran war, which limits the amount of fertilisers available, and we could be looking at a total catastrophe, we'd face floods, famines, and even worse temperatures, with effects varying depending on geographical location
the worst part is, i cant even find any cope trying to debunk this like you had with covid, people are just accepting it or covering their ears trying to ignore it, this gives me a reaaaally bad feeling, im starting to tweak out. are we genuinely fucked? is it unironically over?

Sources say Defence Minister David McGuinty was unaware the Azov Brigade soldier had been invited to RMC Saint-Jean.

A non-commissioned officer with a Ukrainian unit linked to neo-Nazis has received military training in Canada and graduated from a Canadian Forces leadership course. Previously, the Canadian Forces and Department of National Defence maintained they would not train or associate with the controversial Azov Brigade. But a member of the brigade was at the Royal Military College Saint-Jean in Quebec for leadership training from Jan. 13 to Feb. 5, 2026, according to Canadian soldiers who contacted the Ottawa Citizen. Objections to the Azov soldier’s presence were submitted by Canadian Forces personnel to military leaders immediately, but were ignored.
Defence Minister David McGuinty, in a statement to the Ottawa Citizen, said “at no point has Canada’s mandate included training members of the Azov Battalion.”
“We have reinforced our policy to prevent any recurrence and remain firmly opposed to Nazism, racism, and all forms of extremism while promoting human rights, and the rule of law in all international engagements,” he added.
Department of National Defence spokesperson Kened Sadiku said Ukraine had previously been explicitly told not to send members of the Azov Brigade to Canadian military training. Despite identifying the presence of the Azov soldier in the non-commissioned member leadership training program, the Canadian Forces decided to allow him to continue participating.
“Given that fewer than seven days remained in the course and the individual had effectively completed the training, it was determined that the individual would be permitted to graduate,” Sadiku said.
The Azov Brigade, originally referred to as a battalion or regiment, is highly controversial. In 2018, the United States Congress banned the use of U.S. funds to provide arms, training and other assistance to the unit because of its links to the far-right and to neo-Nazis. But in June 2024, U.S. President Joe Biden lifted the ban for Azov, which is seen as highly effective on the battlefield in defending Ukraine from Russia’s invasion. The Canadian Forces previously had a strict policy of distancing itself because of the unit’s far-right associations.
But, under Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan, it appears that may have changed. In July 2025, Canadian military personnel hosted a meeting with Azov Brigade staff, the Maple, an online publication, reported in October. Azov personnel described the meeting with the Canadians as a “friendly and open dialogue.” At the time, the Canadian Forces confirmed that the meeting took place in Ukraine, but refused to answer specific questions from the Ottawa Citizen. Brig. Gen. Serge Menard, who arranged the meeting, told Azov representatives it would be a “pleasure to greet you at the Canadian Embassy.”

We all hate Elon Musk because he wields immense political power and has exploited the labor of thousands of workers, but is there such a thing as an “ethical rich”? What would happen to YouTubers, singers, and artists during a revolution? Technically, they don’t harm anyone, could someone in a socialist state become wealthy by excelling in art, music, or generally creating something that others really enjoy?

In the 19th century and early 20th century, workers were gigachads, ubermenschen. Not because of phony Mendelism-Morganism, or Weissmanist neo-Darwinism, not because of phony bourgeois-idealist "natural selection" or, Marx forbid, "genes" (which do not exist either in heritable or molecular form)… no, workers were ubermensch gigachads because they were forged in the fires of workplaces without protective equipment or safety laws or child labor laws. From a young age, workers were vernalized in their workplaces, hardening, growing calloused skin and swollen muscles. Their testosterone increased and their number of Y chromosomes even tripled, making them more male than the most manly men of today. This is why social fascist reforms made the workers weak. Workplace safety, protective equipment, child labor laws. These turned the workers into fat soft treatlers. By abolishing these bourgeois heresies we can make workers strong again, capable of class war again. This is because lysenko was right about vernalization, which applies to workers as well as crops. Only fascist gene-believers say otherwise. Abolish safety equipment and child labor laws to vernalize the future red army TODAY!
Remember, comrades. The Weismannist-Mendelist-Morganist theory is reactionary and idealistic, a tool of the bourgeois, while the Michurinist-Lysenkoist (ML!!!) theory is dialectical-materialist and proletarian. The victory of Michurinism-Lysenkoism is a victory of socialism over capitalism and fascism. Hitler's racial policies can be traced to the bourgeois genetic theory.

Anyone got any footage and content from 2020?
Any clear timeline of events and the main organizations involved?
What really happened in 2020 with far-left militants?
Where did all the anarchist arsonists go? What happened with the regular revenge killings and assassinations between leftists and rightists? Wasn't there even a story about an artillery unit possibly going rogue, with special forces on standby just in case? Why has all this been memory-holed? Seemed like there was a real possibility of revolution, and it been culled into only radlib circlejerks.Anyone got any footage and content from 2020?

The Polish Question
Third worldism taught us that oppressed nations can become oppressors once they snatch a seat at the imperial table. Poles were once white negroes. Now NATO uniforms wash away solidarity. Marx exalted them. Today, the city of COMECON friendship kisses the Pentagon's boot and calls it sovereignty. Yesterday's revolutionary becomes today's border guard.What is to be done with Poles and other Volkerabfaelle?

Western "Marxists" are fucking obsessed with the idea of command economies. Half of them say that AES states are not actually socialist; this is wrong. The other half says that AES states have only temporarily adopted markets, and will return to the Golden Path as soon as possible; this is also wrong, and much more egregiously so, be because it requires ignorance of and/or cognitive dissonance towards the official statements and actions made by these nations.
Western "Marxist" arguments in favor of command economies are, likewise generally rooted in ignorance, not understanding that the lifestyles they have/aspire to would be unfeasible within a purely planned system. Those that are not rooted in ignorance are instead rooted in aceticism, in poverty worship, in an intellectual cancer that must be rooted out by whatever means necessary.
Sure, we may, at some point, obviate markets. But it would require a fundamental change in the means of production that, by my calculations, is far, far away from where we are now.
In any case, you would do yourself well to stop worshipping the corpses of Stalin and Mao and join the rest of us in the 21st century.
Command economies lost
This history of socialism shows, with perfect clarity, that a fully planned economy is plainly inferior to a socialist market economy. This is not to say that fully planned economies are bad, they absolutely do have their strengths. But economies that are partially planned, directed rather than dictated, have all of the same strengths, while being infinitely more flexible. The socialism of then may have raised millions out of poverty, but it was the socialism of now century that raised them into luxury, luxury greater than anything the capitalist world has ever been able to provide.Western "Marxists" are fucking obsessed with the idea of command economies.

The office of Brazil’s prosecutor general had charged Eduardo Bolsonaro with courting US authorities to help his father’s case by imposing sanctions on the court’s justices and tariffs on Brazilian goods. The younger Bolsonaro, a former lawmaker, moved to the United States in 2025, months before the trial that convicted the rightwing ex-president of plotting a coup.

France to ditch Palantir’s AI data tools in favour of domestic provider
France’s domestic intelligence service is to ditch AI data tools from the US tech company Palantir in favour of a domestic provider in an effort to avoid “strategic dependency”, the prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, has said. “We must use our own AI models; we cannot accept new strategic dependencies in the digital sphere,” Lecornu posted on social media. “We cannot rely on tools developed by foreign powers. France must have its own tools.”

PMCs legally don't exist in Ukraine. They're booming anyway
Ukrainian legislation prohibits armed formations outside state control and has never recognized PMCs, even as most of the activities associated with them carry on under ordinary licenses, permits, and commercial contracts. Four years after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, the defense sector is one of the fastest-growing industries at the heart of a strained wartime economy. The gap between PMC activity and the absence of regulation has become impossible to ignore and is now on Ukraine's political agenda.

In addition to planned infrastructure, the corridor already includes operational assets. An oil pipeline and a gas pipeline running through Myanmar allow direct energy transport to China, with an estimated capacity of around 22 million tons of oil per year and 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually, reducing China’s reliance on maritime routes passing through the Strait of Malacca.

The materialist foundation
The most basic distinction in Marxist thought is between idealism and materialism. Idealism holds that ideas come first, that the material world is shaped by thoughts and concepts. Religious and magical thinking are forms of idealism, as is the common belief that human nature is fixed and unchangeable. Materialism holds the opposite: material conditions come first, and our ideas arise from them. Marxists believe that how a society produces food, shelter, and other necessities shapes everything else, including our ideas, beliefs, and values. This does not mean ideas don't matter. It means they emerge from material conditions and cannot be understood apart from them. When people ask why human beings behave in certain ways, Marxists look first to the economic and social structures in which people live.
Historical materialism
Historical materialism applies this way of thinking to history. The material conditions of a society determine its social structure, and class struggle drives historical change. Societies evolve through different modes of production, each containing internal contradictions that eventually lead to its replacement.
Human history has passed through several stages. There was primitive communism, where hunter-gatherer societies existed without class divisions. Slave society built ancient civilizations on slave labor. Feudalism followed, with its lords, serfs, and peasants. Capitalism is the industrial system we live under today. Each stage contains contradictions that lead to its replacement by a new system, and capitalism is no exception.
Class struggle
Class struggle is at the center of Marxist analysis. In every class society, a ruling class controls the means of production and an oppressed class does the work. Under capitalism, the bourgeoisie owns factories, machinery, land, and other productive property. The proletariat owns only its labor power and must sell it to survive.
These two classes have irreconcilable interests. Workers want higher wages and better conditions. Capitalists want to minimize costs and maximize profits. This contradiction cannot be resolved within the system. It leads to periodic crises, growing inequality, and increasingly intense class conflict. Marx argued this conflict would eventually lead to the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a new system based on the interests of the working majority.
How capitalism works
Capitalism is based on exploitation, though this is a description of how the system functions, not a moral judgment. Workers create value through their labor. They are paid wages just enough to survive and reproduce themselves. The difference between what workers create and what they are paid is surplus value, and the capitalist keeps this surplus as profit. Exploitation is built into the wage-labor relationship.
The drive for profit compels capitalists to extract more work for less pay, cut costs, expand into new markets, and constantly innovate. This drive leads to crises of overproduction, financial crashes, growing inequality, environmental destruction, and imperialist competition. These are not failures of the system. They are its normal operating conditions.
The proletariat
The proletariat is the class created by capitalism itself. As capitalism develops, it proletarianizes more and more people, turning peasants, artisans, and small business owners into wage workers. Workers are concentrated in factories, offices, and cities, which gives them organizational capacity. Capitalism also requires educated workers who can think critically, creating the conditions for political consciousness.
Marx argued the proletariat is the only class capable of overthrowing capitalism. The bourgeoisie will not abolish a system that benefits them. Other classes, like the peasantry, are too fragmented and dispersed to lead a revolution. Only the proletariat has no material interest in preserving the system, is organized by the system itself, and represents the majority of the population. Its victory would benefit all of humanity.
Understanding Marxism: A Beginner's Guide
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels developed a way of understanding society, history, and social change that remains essential for anyone trying to make sense of the world today. Their work is not a collection of abstract ideas or moral pronouncements. It is a method of analysis, a critique of capitalism, and a political project aimed at creating a more equitable world. This guide introduces the fundamental concepts of Marxism in accessible language.The materialist foundation

In the US when I hear a defense of our founding fathers who owned slaves, particularly Jefferson and Washington, I always hear that morals were just different back then and that you basically can’t expect these people to know any better in 1776. This is stupid.
Morality is a constant. You know when you’re harming someone or inconveniencing them. You should think of how they feel about it and you should judge particularly impactful interactions for yourself and others from as many angles as possible as many times as possible. Don’t be neurotic, but hearing the screams of someone being whipped shouldn’t take a struggle session and psychological damage to evoke emotions over. Ruminating on all the memories that stick out we which ones we could’ve and should’ve acted better in. It’s a natural, gut instinct that some defective people may be born without, but it’s a common factor that should be the basis for society.
This is very vague, I’ve only described a notion of what’s “moral” or “not moral” and these categories do need to be demystified, but the constant shifting and adjusting for moral shores is the job of legislatures. I know many will come and start posing moral hypotheticals which I’ll be happy to answer, but in a world where were giving back to the billionaires directly without even bothering to mask it, giving back to foreign proxy’s with shrinking domestic protections, and giving back to politicians, cops and even criminals willing to abuse the courts system without any consideration or efficiency for the people making the system run, I want to focus on at least starting to round the edges.
I know this places namesake is 4chan. I see the reading list contains antisemitic texts, not just chapters from Bakunin, but shit like The Jewish Question and a section on German Idealism. I’m not an idiot, but clearly you’re all here because you feel something that keeps you off platforms like instagram and twitter and yet a compulsion to strive for better than 4chan. Typically the most politically involved vary the most, this site might in reality have one of the bigger tents out there for its limited size, and I want to try to appeal to as many as I can with the following; People will be born into society. Society should be ready to handle them. No matter anyone’s ethnicity, we all share 99+% of our genes. There will always need to be people at the bottom middle and top and we should design a system into which we would happily stumble blind, where those distinctions are made by matter of talent, acquired skill, and virtue, not whether you were born to one group or another. Racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, and all the other causes and effects of colonialism are not just morally evil, they are one of the greatest cancers human society has ever suffered from and thankfully one I pray we have put in the rear view mirror. However when I see the amount of hostility towards extremely marginalized groups like illegal immigrants, trans people, women, and Jews in even more progressive circles I wonder if this receding cancer is more like a malignant tumor, every now and then flaring up in bouts of genocide in perpetuity. Well I want to leave you with one more quote that I hope gets my point across.
The fact is that the greatest crimes are caused by excess, and not by necessity. Men do not become tyrants in order that they may not suffer cold, and hence great is the honor bestowed not on he who kills a thief but on him who kills a tyrant.
-Aristotle
The mutual aid feeling
Unless men are maddened in the battlefield they cannot stand it to hear appeals for help and not respond to them. The hero goes, and what the hero does, all feel they ought to have done as well. The sophisms of the brain cannot resist the mutual aid feeling, because this feeling has been nurtured by thousands of years of human social life and hundreds of thousands of years of prehuman life in societies.-Kropotkin

Ruminating on all the memories that stick out we which ones we could’ve and should’ve acted better in. It’s a natural, gut instinct that some defective people may be born without, but it’s a common factor that should be the basis for society.
This is very vague, I’ve only described a notion of what’s “moral” or “not moral” and these categories do need to be demystified, but the constant shifting and adjusting for moral shores is the job of legislatures. I know many will come and start posing moral hypotheticals which I’ll be happy to answer, but in a world where were giving back to the billionaires directly without even bothering to mask it, giving back to foreign proxy’s with shrinking domestic protections, and giving back to politicians, cops and even criminals willing to abuse the courts system without any consideration or efficiency for the people making the system run, I want to focus on at least starting to round the edges.
I know this places namesake is 4chan. I see the reading list contains antisemitic texts, not just chapters from Bakunin, but shit like The Jewish Question and a section on German Idealism. I’m not an idiot, but clearly you’re all here because you feel something that keeps you off platforms like instagram and twitter and yet a compulsion to strive for better than 4chan. Typically the most politically involved vary the most, this site might in reality have one of the bigger tents out there for its limited size, and I want to try to appeal to as many as I can with the following; People will be born into society. Society should be ready to handle them. No matter anyone’s ethnicity, we all share 99+% of our genes. There will always need to be people at the bottom middle and top and we should design a system into which we would happily stumble blind, where those distinctions are made by matter of talent, acquired skill, and virtue, not whether you were born to one group or another. Racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, and all the other causes and effects of colonialism are not just morally evil, they are one of the greatest cancers human society has ever suffered from and thankfully one I pray we have put in the rear view mirror. However when I see the amount of hostility towards extremely marginalized groups like illegal immigrants, trans people, women, and Jews in even more progressive circles I wonder if this receding cancer is more like a malignant tumor, every now and then flaring up in bouts of genocide in perpetuity. Well I want to leave you with one more quote that I hope gets my point across.
The fact is that the greatest crimes are caused by excess, and not by necessity. Men do not become tyrants in order that they may not suffer cold, and hence great is the honor bestowed not on he who kills a thief but on him who kills a tyrant.

Jefferson himself however was a slave owner and a rapist and a bad person, but I don't think that invalidates some of his ideas. And he supported private property.
Thoughts?
Jeffersonian Democracy and Libertarian Leftism has similarities
Both were against to differing degrees singular individuals accumulating extreme wealth to oppose everyone. Both wanted high decentralization and sometimes assumes an agrarian material world. Jeffersonian democracy is interesting because it's based on the idea that people can govern themselves without experts leading them, and that liberty is kept alive through local organization autonomy and action.Jefferson himself however was a slave owner and a rapist and a bad person, but I don't think that invalidates some of his ideas.

>Communists should treat the petty bourgeoisie, the bourgeoisie, the liberals, the social democrats, the conservatives, the fascists, and the anarchists as equally hostile threats to Communism, never distinguish between them as groups, and always lump them in with each other. No effort should be made to pit these groups against each other, it should be assumed they are all on the same team and would never fight each other. None of these groups are worthy of critical support against others, not even in the context of anti-imperialism.
<Communists should distinguish between their enemies, since their enemies have different motivations and different interests. They can and should be pit against one another. Critical support should be given to lesser enemies against stronger enemies, to weaken the stronger enemies, and get the lesser enemies eliminated early. Social democrats should not be simply regarded as left wing fascists in a stale regurgitation of the 1920s comintern line, especially since Stalin abandoned that line and was even willing to tolerate liberal bourgeoisie like Roosevelt and conservative bourgeoisie like Churchill as allies against Hitler. Depending on context, groups are often worthy of critical support against others, especially in the context of anti-imperialism.

The strong Sino-Israeli relationship should bury the illusions that many leftists have about the PRC’s purported socialism. With the transition to apolitical, business-first developmentalism during the Reform and Opening Up, the PRC decisively turned its back on the history of Third World solidarity and the Palestinian cause. The orientalist socialist fantasy and an excessive fixation on the past do not bring us closer to liberation but instead obscures the ongoing forms of collaboration that needs close scrutiny and unambiguous callout.

There is basically nothing on the group on the internet besides its own posts and websites, I decided to change that. Notable things they've done are threatening to kill other leftist groups for being liberals (despite doing materially the same things as them) and somehow never getting in trouble for them, praising the Shining Path more than any other communist group that actually beat the capitalists in their country, and general retardation and LARPing.

Their protests focused on opposition to imperialism, calls for just peace, withdrawal of United States troops, and the repeal of defense agreements, while also denouncing alleged foreign military aggression and demanding to "junk EDCA." Signed in 2014, EDCA or the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement grants American troops access to designated Philippine military facilities, the right to construct facilities, and to pre-position equipment, aircraft, and vessels, but does not allow permanent basing.

Albanians protest against another luxury development on Adriatic coast
About 200 protesters on Saturday tore down metal and razor-wire fences surrounding a luxury development site on Albania’s Adriatic coast, in another sign of growing anger against construction in environmentally sensitive areas. Albanians have been protesting for weeks against a planned luxury resort backed by a company linked to Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, near Vlora, which is famed for its flamingos and a turtle nesting site.

Thousands rally in Rome, Italy for rival pro- and anti-migration marches
The demonstrations come after a petition advocating for sweeping measures targeting foreigners – including coercive returns to their countries of origin – gathered the 50,000 signatures needed to trigger parliamentary discussion. Named “Remigration and Reconquest,” the petition has pushed the once-fringe concept of “remigration” – which in far-right contexts can mean the mass deportation of ethnic minorities – into the political mainstream.

Protests staged in Metro Manila on PH Independence Day 2026Participating groups were from Bayan, Anakbayan, PISTON, Karapatan, and allied organizations. Their protests focused on opposition to imperialism, calls for just peace, withdrawal of United States troops, and the repeal of defense agreements, while also denouncing alleged foreign military aggression and demanding to "junk EDCA." Signed in 2014, EDCA or the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement grants American troops access to designated Philippine military facilities, the right to construct facilities, and to pre-position equipment, aircraft, and vessels, but does not allow permanent basing.

US kills Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua leader in military strike, Trump says
Trump posted a 10-second video of what appeared to be the explosion of a small structure hit from the air. He did not explain how Guerrero’s death was confirmed or whether anyone else was killed in the strike. Trump said the “action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well.”

i've known a lot of people who have served in the military and i've never known any of them to say things like this. but i have heard a few of them talk about meeting certain other members of the military who did. most people who join the military are decent normal people who join for the usual kinds of reasons - sense of duty and wanting to serve their country, having family members in the military whom they look up to and want to follow in their footsteps, seeing it as a career opportunity to build a better life for themselves, etc. and most people who have fought in combat and experienced the horrors of war don't feel very good about it and don't like to talk about it and certainly don't find it glamorous or invigorating or think of it as some kind of exciting adventure. but there is a small minority of very sick people who really do join the military just because they want to fight in a war and get to kill people and watch people die, they think that war and killing are very neat things and they talk about it and obsess over it a lot and they genuinely seem to enjoy it.
i would like to think that graham platner is not that kind of person, but reading the comments he's made over the years, he legitimately seems like a psychopath. he's expressed some remorse for the things he's said, but that's not worth very much when he's simultaneously trying to pursue a political career and running for one of the highest positions of power in american society, a position that would give him far more power and therefore far more opportunities to kill and hurt and dominate other human beings than his military career ever did. i don't think a person who has said these kinds of things should be allowed that level of power.

Being decently read in both Anarchist and Marxist schools of thought is really funny, because of how much shit people from both schools of thought clearly haven't read outside of that school of thought. Like I've seen both anarchists and Marxists say shit that's blatantly not true about each others theory because I think people don't like reading things they might potentially disagree with. I actually read anti-socialist texts from time to time, because I generally like to keep an open mind about such things, i feel like people get so absorbed into one of way of thinking that it just leads to thought termination. Also being actually exposed to ideas you disagree with helps you better formulate your disagreements with said ideas and to actually better critique them. Any thoughts I guess, I'm not shit talking the tendencies by the way more the behavior of certain individuals within them.

In the case of serfdom, we see sometimes the organic disappearance of serfdom from society through its obsolescence. Britain never emancipated its serfs through legal acts. Instead the black plague and 1381 peasants revolt weakened the institution without abolishing it, and by 1600 it was largely over with. the 1640s English civil wars, which some call its bourgeois revolution, did not even abolish serfdom, since it was already through by that point. In other cases we see a top down-abolition of serfdom, as in Russia, under the tsar in the 1800s , and in Japan through the Meiji restoration. These were not bourgeois revolutions but top down reforms carried out by rather conservative and autocratic institutions that had resisted change for as long as possible.
The transition between the slavery of late antiquity and the serfdom of the middle ages was likewise a very gradual process, and did not happen through revolution or reform, but through more subtle historical processes taking place over several centuries. There were servile revolts such as the famous one led by Spartacus, but these were failed revolts, not transformative revolutions which changed the mode of production.
These lead me to my questions:
Reform, Civil War, Revolution
In the case of slavery, we see that in the British Empire, it was abolished through reform. They passed the act to abolish it in 1833. In the case of America it was abolished through Civil War. Both slaves and white people were in the union army and participated in abolition. In the case of Haiti we have revolution. The slaves overthrew their masters. Some say were a few Europeans on the side of the slaves, ironically a Polish diaspora who Dessalines eventually made legally black and protected from the purges that targeted the French.In the case of serfdom, we see sometimes the organic disappearance of serfdom from society through its obsolescence. Britain never emancipated its serfs through legal acts.

There were servile revolts such as the famous one led by Spartacus, but these were failed revolts, not transformative revolutions which changed the mode of production.
These lead me to my questions:
- I think it is indisputable that class struggle plays a foundational role in the history of all societies. However, is revolution always inevitable, or is it only what happens when all other options fail?
- If other options succeed, is that undesirable for communism, since communists want these changes to happen through revolution?
- If the same problem can be tackled in different ways, and history shows that through evidence, then why cling to the thesis that it can only happen one way?
- Isn't it a bit teleological to insist that the capitalist mode of production must end in a specific way, i.e. through reform, through revolution, or through civil war, rather than a mixture of multiple ways? Especially in an age where nationalist nuclear armed sovereignty is asserted against ideal globalizing trends, and no international proletarian revolution seems imminent, even 143 years after Marx's death?

We can, and should, be antizionist, but antizionism ≠ antisemitism. The most bigoted thing you can do towards a Jew is to assume they are spoken for by a genocidal apartheid regime, and to unionize your fight for antizionism with the rights fight for antisemitism. Don’t get the two confused and don’t be a schmuck.
Anti-anti-semitism
Jewish people are an ethno-religious group that have largely been ostracized from Christian/muslim society because they were here first. It’s created, beyond just a religion, a form of ethnic identity. This board believes in decolonization, and in the principle that children should not be judged for their identities and the identities of their parents. That should extend fully to Jews as well and it’s far and away the biggest issue I have with this “leftist” group that many of you want to exclude such a large population of historically marginalized people. Some of the best leftists from Marx and Luxembourg to Goldman and Bookchin, Jewish individuals have written much of the theory we practice today.We can, and should, be antizionist, but antizionism ≠ antisemitism.

Questions for anarchists
- How would anarchists respond to the criticism that, over 150 years of organized anarchist thought (from Bakunin and the International in 1866 onward, or even Stirner before that), their analysis of exploitation has remained largely vague and general?
- How do anarchists explain the origins and development of exploitation? And how would they account for the evolution of society without relying on concepts like class struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat as scientific tools?
- Are anarchists generally committed to social ownership of the means of production, or do they tend to favor small-scale production and some forms of private ownership? How would they address the claim that anarchism is just bourgeois individualism turned on its head?
- How do anarchists propose to organize and educate workers for class struggle while refusing participation in bourgeois political institutions? How would they avoid offering what critics call one‑sided, disconnected fixes, especially when global coordination seems necessary and anarchism’s individualist tendencies may undermine it?
- How would anarchists respond to the observation that anarchism lacks a unified doctrine, elementary revolutionary teaching, or basic theory? How do they view the historical fragmentation of the workers’ movement often attributed to anarchist influence, and what can be learned from the short‑lived anarchist “state‑like” experiments?
- How would anarchists avoid the charge that rejecting bourgeois politics in practice ends up subordinating the working class to bourgeois politics—all under the guise of being “above” or “outside” traditional political action?

Palestine Action Activists Sentenced As Terrorists
Four Palestine Action activists who damaged Israeli military assets including drones will be sentenced for an “act of terrorism”, a judge has ruled. Charlotte Head, 29, Samuel Corner, 23, Leona (Ellie) Kamio, 30, and Fatema Rajwani, 21, were found guilty of criminal damage in May after breaking into a factory in Filton, near Bristol, owned by Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit in 2024. Corner was also convicted of grievous bodily harm without intent.

Indonesian students protest government policies as economic pressures grow
About 1,500 protesters attempted to march toward the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle, a key Jakarta landmark, after Friday prayers. Anti-riot police blocked many of them from reaching the site, which has long been off-limits for rallies because of its location at the heart of the city’s main business and commercial district.

The Hidden Crisis of Child Labour in India
Despite decades of economic growth, constitutional safeguards, and legal reforms, millions of Indian children continue to spend their childhood in labour rather than learning. Behind the impressive statistics of development lies a painful truth. For far too many children, childhood itself remains a privilege rather than a right.

Bangladesh, India to coordinate patrols on border, share intelligence amid migrant tensions
Bangladesh and India share a more than 4,000‑km (2,500-mile) border, one of the world’s longest. India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, which governs key border states including Tripura, West Bengal and Assam, has said tackling alleged undocumented migration is a priority and has been trying to push Bengali-speaking Muslims branded "illegal infiltrators" into Bangladesh since last year. Bangladesh has said it has sent more than a dozen letters to New Delhi seeking an end to the practice.

Ramaphosa files papers to interdict beginning of impeachment process
In May, Ramaphosa launched a review into the report which found that he may have a case to answer regarding the February 2020 robbery of foreign currency at his Phala Phala farm in Limpopo. The review bid, which is set to be heard in September, seeks to invalidate the Section 89 report itself, as well as any steps taken by the National Assembly pursuant to the report.

This makes the cop more disgusting than the boss. The boss at least performs a material function, the organization of production, however exploitative. The cop performs a purely repressive function. He adds no value. He creates no wealth. He exists solely to protect the property relations that the bourgeoisie has stolen. He is the parasite on the parasite.
The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the entire alphabet of federal law enforcement are not mere obstacles to liberation. They are the central nervous system of the counter‑insurgency apparatus that has been built to suppress the American working class from inception. The FBI's COINTELPRO program did not just spy on the Black Panthers; it murdered them, framed them, and destroyed their families. The FBI's anti communist division is very likely tied to the CIA. The DHS did not just deport immigrants in history; it built and continues to build a surveillance architecture that tracks every phone call, every text message, every credit card swipe of every American who has ever uttered a word against the state. These are domestic occupation forces, deployed against the very people they pretend to serve.
The cop on the corner is not a public servant. He is a soldier in a low‑intensity war against the poor, the Black, the brown, the immigrant, the leftist, the mentally ill, the homeless. He is trained to see the working class as the enemy. His job is to manage the "disorder" that capitalism inevitably produces, the hunger, the addiction, the rage, the desperation. And when he cannot manage it, he kills it.
So no, we do not "reform" the police. We do not "defund" them in the liberal sense. We abolish them. Fuck every cop, and every leftist that doesn't get down with this in their praxis, ought to be immediately confronted and challenged (cough cough CPUSA).
Fuck Amerikkkan Law & Order
Any communist who does not hate the police, hate them as much as or more than the bourgeoisie itself is not to be trusted. The pig in uniform is not merely a servant of capital; he is a traitor to his own class. The capitalist exploits you openly, extracts your surplus value, for profit. The cop, by contrast, is a class collaborator who has traded the collective self‑interest of the working class for the individual power of a badge. He is the armed wing of the bourgeois order, the thug who enforces contracts, breaks strikes, and puts a bullet in the back of any worker who dares to resist. They are the slave catchers that put the bodies that exist outside of wage labor behind the walls of slavery.This makes the cop more disgusting than the boss.

I've seen references to "beta tests" and people moving between cities, but no one ever says who's organizing the logistics. Is it just loose networks of people who know each other from previous actions? Or are there specific collectives or hubs that people should be aware of, for safety reasons, obviously? Also, what's the deal with the Juche tag specifically? Is it just a vibe or are there actual reading groups, signal chats, etc.? Are you guys represnting a formal organization that commits to political action?

Deng Xiaoping's reforms were pure capitalist genius, decollectivizing agriculture, creating Special Economic Zones, welcoming foreign investment, and letting markets allocate resources where central planning had failed miserably. Hundreds of millions lifted out of poverty in a single generation, the greatest anti-poverty achievement in human history. Dengism proved that pragmatic market incentives, competition, and entrepreneurship work better than ideology. From a true capitalist viewpoint, this was masterful, "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice."
>>China abides by the raw logic of the free market more purely than the USA. Unfettered competition, massive private sector growth (especially early on), and letting winners win.
>>As Adam Smith observed in the dynamics of commercial society, successful true capitalism naturally concentrates wealth and leads toward more socialized outcomes through its own success exactly what we're seeing as China's development matures into broader shared prosperity under the Party's stewardship. Pure capitalism, refined, evolving towards socialism, as Smith predicted.
>>Compare that with the United States, a corporatist, state capitalist racket. Big monopolies and connected firms get bailed out, subsidized, and protected by regulators. Market manipulators, lobbyists, and too big to fail banks are rewarded with favorable rules, while genuine competition and market demand supply are punished.
>>The revolving door between Washington and Wall Street picks winners and it's cronyism dressed up as "capitalism."
>>China rewards results and scale in the market while America increasingly rewards political connections.
The future belongs to whoever actually practices capitalism without the hypocrisy. Deng understood this better than most modern "free market" advocates.

It’s manipulated by those who have power and use the fear mechanism in us to make us feel inadequate. I am a firm believer that at points in our lives we are all manipulated by this BS (Tony Robbin’s, David De Angelo, Scott Galloway, etc. — just to name a few). The idea is to break away from it. Parents especially do this. John Liste, the man who murdered his family in 1971 had a horrible mother who berated him. The secret is to break away from these people before you inside. I don’t believe John would have done this had his mother not been living with the family.
capitalism is an austerity system
capitalism is an austerity system designed to keep the majority's wealth and health decreasing… whether you follow tony robbins (fraud) or warren buffetts (real deal) advice probably matters, but economic success is not the only measure of success. It's a pretty relative concept. Someone can have a disability or disadvantage and still succeed leaps and bounds beyond what they thought THEY could achieve. It's a personal choice what one considers success for themselves. Perhaps your "dipshit" father considered success to be having successful children, so he failed at trying to advise you. Perhaps you consider success to be sharing your thoughts publicly to people because it's what you have found to be the truth. Genuine success and failure will always be what one judges for themselves. The idea that a comfortable life thanks to economic security is success is a valid one, and so are all the others that diametrically oppose that one. I agree that such a definition of success needs to acknowledge the reality of people's suffering, of the limitations of reality. Delusion should be stripped away, but one single definition of success is delusional too, and so is the idea that one can't succeed in any capacity.It’s manipulated by those who have power and use the fear mechanism in us to make us feel inadequate.

Is Capitalism actually that adaptable
A common criticism that I see is that capitalism is hyper adaptable to most circumstances and that it can't even really be fully defeated at all, especially from those who shill for it. However, liberalism and it's various forms of it has only been around for like 500 years. The previous order of despotism, empire and feudalism were around for much longer. While it's ability to subsumed criticism of itself into the system is potent, I am not exactly sure if capitalism is all that durable? Is this a weird thing to think?

From my understanding, he posits the following:
>The world is objective and exists independently of the mind.
>Everything which exists is a unity of opposing forces.
>These forces influence the unity over time and produce qualitative change once enough quantitative tensions build up.
>Some of these "contradictions" are fundamentally unstable and cannot be mitigated (antagonistic contradictions), whilst some of these can be maintained with enough mitigation and can be resolved (non-antagonistic).
>Contradictions are furthermore hierarchical, as they rely on one another. Thus, one of the contradictions in any unity is the primary one, whilst the others are secondary.
This makes sense to me for social dispositions where two parties face one another, like a war, for example. Fundamentally, any conflict is going to be about multiple individuals facing one another, with a permanent instability resolving itself only in a qualitatively different state than it began. This makes sense.
However, I don't see how this can be applied to anything other than social conflict. How can you say that a tree is a unity of opposite forces? There are no "opposite" forces internal to a tree. There are only different directions which the tree follows in relation to its exterior elements (how much wind there is, how much food its roots can gather, how much sun it photosynthesizes, etc.). Saying that the tree has inner conflicting tendencies appears to me as merely rhetorical arguments, such as that it is in-between "life and death," or that it lies between "growth and stagnation." These idioms are correct, but they are abstract and aren't representative of the real.
Furthermore, albeit this is more abstract, I don't really see how Mao can assert that there is a hierarchy in the contradictions. Some contradictions do depend on one another, but believing that some are antagonistic and some aren't looks more politically motivated than scientific.

Ever since the Soviet reforms and the betrayal of the Comintern under Khrushchev, most communist parties internationally have become class enemies. Not just in the US. Globally. The ones that haven't accepted Maoism, or some form of decentralized, decolonial struggle, are just state‑capitalist NGOs with red aesthetics. They are not a vanguard, nor will they ever be. Nearly every organization exists as a fire extinguisher for the working class insurrection.
Look at India. The Communist Party of India calls the Naxalites adventurist. They actually said, "Make no mistake, anti‑revisionist Maoism is an anarchist force, not a Leninist one." They don't know what the word means. They've hollowed it out. To them, "adventurist" means any action that might make the oppressor uncomfortable enough to withdraw an invitation to sit at their table. The population could be ready to drag the rich out of their cars, and these revisionists would call a piece of anti‑politician graffiti "adventurism."
That's counter‑insurgency, and if you are ok with people who hold your beliefs doing counter-insurgency, then you aren't ready for revolutionary situations. In revolution enemies need to be cleared out of the way, including ones who appear to be on your side. That's what it looks like. Never forget that communist parties have violently suppressed workers insurrections. They've pulled the trigger. They've called the cops. They've done the state's dirty work while wearing a hammer a sickle. Am I talking about the soviets? Not at all. Go look into the socialist mayors, and revisionists that were sending police bullets on workers insurrectionists during the years of lead.
So we have enemies within. They need to be rendered useless. Destroyed. Not debated, not "won over" they must be neutralized. The anarchists and Maoists in Greece showed the KKE what happens when this battle gets physical. And guess what? The revisionists got bodied. Because they ain't about shit. They folded.
Stop worrying about what the revisionists call "adventurism." Worry about why they're so desperate to keep you from acting. That's the real tell. And it's loud as hell.
Adventurism?
You keep hearing the word "adventurism" thrown around, usually by leftists who happen to be embedded in counter‑insurgency operations disguised as communist parties. So what does it actually mean? In their mouths, it means any action that might upset their ability to sit at the table with the oppressor. They've taken a term that once had strategic meaning, actions detached from mass conditions and turned it into a club to beat anyone who steps outside the revisionist party line.Ever since the Soviet reforms and the betrayal of the Comintern under Khrushchev, most communist parties internationally have become class enemies.

Conservative Keiko Fujimori inched into the lead late on Wednesday night, boosted by overseas ballots that gave her 50.002% of the vote to leftist Roberto Sanchez's 49.998%, a difference of about 600 votes out of 18 million. More than 98% of the vote has been counted according to Peru's ONPE electoral authority, but most of those remaining are contested ballots. Only nine of the more than 90,000 polling stations remain to be counted while about 1,600 - representing around 400,000 votes - have been sent for review to Peru's National Elections Jury (JNE).

Brazil reports drop in Amazon deforestation rates, pushing back on US tariff accusations
Environment Minister João Paulo Capobianco said that the figure is the lowest ever recorded for May, and that Brazil is on track to reach its lowest annual levels once the data is consolidated next semester. He said that the month typically sees higher deforestation, because it marks the start of the Amazon’s dry season. In the 10 months from August 2025 to May 2026, deforestation in the Amazon already fell by 37.5%, compared with the same previous period.

Israel to set up permanent Jenin military base amid displacement from refugee camps

US attack kills three Indian sailors in Gulf of Oman
The Palau-flagged MT Settebello vessel came under attack late on Tuesday after the US accused it of not complying “with directions from American forces”. The tanker had 24 Indian crew members on board, of whom 21 were rescued. The US has targeted several vessels off the coast of Oman this week. Crews were evacuated from two other ships after they were hit by projectiles.

Left alliance slams Bangladesh budget as debt-driven and favouring wealthy
The leaders pointed to the projected budget deficit of nearly Tk 250,000 crore, arguing that the financing gap would be covered largely through domestic and foreign borrowing, raising concerns about the country's growing debt burden. They also criticized the budget for lacking a clear strategy to generate employment at a time when job creation remains one of Bangladesh's most pressing economic challenges.

Pakistan budget, hit by Iran war and IMF, to squeeze middle class
Under pressure to meet austerity conditions from the International Monetary Fund, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb will submit a delayed 17.1-trillion-rupee ($61-billion) spending plan for the fiscal year starting next month, according to widespread domestic media reports. The burden of higher fuel and power costs and taxes will fall largely on formally registered businesses and salaried workers in the South Asian nation, as politically powerful sectors such as agriculture, retail and real estate remain difficult to tax, experts say.

In industry and the private sector, participation was equally significant, with sites such as Autoeuropa, Bimbo, Bosch, Cerealto, and Exide reporting participation rates exceeding 90 percent.

Fuel poverty campaigners welcomed the “serious and welcome contribution” but raised concerns that the proposals would take too long to take effect before the energy price cap rises next month. TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said: “Working people must not bear the brunt of Trump’s illegal war.

Marxist teleology is wrong
There is no linear causal relationship between the phases of socialism and communism. Very rarely does one transition to the other, and it seems like EZLN managed to transition from minimal state to closer to stateless when pressured by cartels, while the USSR only diverged from that with time. Prefigurative politics and muscle memory is important as much as mode of production in determining which direction a society moves long term.

FRATERNAL REVOLUTIONARY GREETINGS IN STRUGGLE, FROM WITHIN THE TOMBS AND STEEL CAGES OF THE NEOCOLONIAL MILITARY SUPERMAX CONTROL UNIT GULAG OF THE IMPERIALIST BEAST !!!
You have probably heard of the serious medical issues that afflicted me by the genocidal design of my captors stemming from 24 consecutive years in solitary confinement, malnutrition, constant harassment by the pigs, no recreation or exercise, social isolation, censorship of my revolutionary writings, and a pattern of systemic genocidal torture and brutal repression designed to break my will and my spirit of resistance. I had a stroke in November 2025, at the McConnell Unit in Beeville. Before then, I had been struggling to get medical attention for a series of maladies I had developed as my physical and mental health began deteriorating, namely, bladder infections, neuropathy, B 12 vitamin deficiency, among other disabilities, all ignored by the prison.
On these issues. I have been going back and forth to the main Galveston prison hospital, to the Carole Young Medical facility for surgery and a series of tests and so forth. I am now at the Estelle medical unit (E2) in Huntsville, Texas awaiting to, again, be transferred to Galveston for the testing ordered since December 2025, delayed time and again, under a policy that when the prison is on “routine lockdown” for cellblock searches for contraband, all prior medical appointments are cancelled.

One Letter Can Break the Silence. Write Your Comrades.
THEY TRIED TO BURY US ALIVE, NOT KNOWING WE WERE SEEDS….-ANAHUAC WARRIOR, MEXICO AZTLAN, 1519
FRATERNAL REVOLUTIONARY GREETINGS IN STRUGGLE, FROM WITHIN THE TOMBS AND STEEL CAGES OF THE NEOCOLONIAL MILITARY SUPERMAX CONTROL UNIT GULAG OF THE IMPERIALIST BEAST !!!
You have probably heard of the serious medical issues that afflicted me by the genocidal design of my captors stemming from 24 consecutive years in solitary confinement, malnutrition, constant harassment by the pigs, no recreation or exercise, social isolation, censorship of my revolutionary writings, and a pattern of systemic genocidal torture and brutal repression designed to break my will and my spirit of resistance. I had a stroke in November 2025, at the McConnell Unit in Beeville. Before then, I had been struggling to get medical attention for a series of maladies I had developed as my physical and mental health began deteriorating, namely, bladder infections, neuropathy, B 12 vitamin deficiency, among other disabilities, all ignored by the prison.
On these issues. I have been going back and forth to the main Galveston prison hospital, to the Carole Young Medical facility for surgery and a series of tests and so forth. I am now at the Estelle medical unit (E2) in Huntsville, Texas awaiting to, again, be transferred to Galveston for the testing ordered since December 2025, delayed time and again, under a policy that when the prison is on “routine lockdown” for cellblock searches for contraband, all prior medical appointments are cancelled. For example, I had a scheduled test in Galveston for May 12 but on May 11 the unit went on lockdown, and all doctor’s appointments are cancelled. The unit warden runs this plantation-like gulag like his own kingdom. For more updates on my situation, please visit Instagram.com/freexinachtlinow, or at wwwfreealvaro.net.

>if tomorrow every CPUSA member died screaming in a fiery car crash you would be a very happy camper but nothing would change. your party would still be irrelevant, there would still be dozens of nominally communist parties without any power or membership or militancy and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie would still keep chugging along through the DNC and RNC.
To focus on the individuals within the organizations, to speculate on their personal psychology, careerist ambitions, or individual "bad faith" is to fall into the trap of liberal idealism. It mistakes the symptom (the behavior of the individual) for the disease (the structural function of the apparatus that contains them). The material reality is that the DSA and the CPUSA, PSL, and the likes are not simply "misguided" organizations; they are integral functionaries in the Non-Profit Industrial Complex (NPIC), which operates as a domestic counter-insurgency machine. To analyze this correctly is to see that the function of these "leftist" parties, irrespective of the intentions of their members, is to absorb, professionalize, and neutralize revolutionary energy before it can pose a material threat to capital.
The term "Non-Profit Industrial Complex" describes the sprawling network of foundations, charities, and service organizations that, under a legal framework, form an apparatus of social control. With over 1.5 million such organizations in the U.S. and combined assets in the trillions, this is not an auxiliary to the state; it is a central pillar of its hegemonic project.
The U.S. government and the CIA have a long history of using foundations and NGOs to destabilize hostile states, funding militant movements abroad to create chaos. At home, the same technique is used for the opposite purpose, to stabilize the state by capturing and misdirecting domestic dissent. As Robert L. Allen documented, the Ford Foundation gave millions to Black organizations in the 1960s, deliberately funding moderate leaders who would steer the movement away from revolution and toward integration into the capitalist system. This is not speculation; it is documented counter-insurgency tactic that has become more complex, and more embedded into material reality over decades.
The "Shadow of the Shadow State", Ruth Wilson Gilmore describes the most troubling sector of the NPIC as the "shadow of the shadow state". These are the ostensibly "left-of-center" and "grassroots" organizations that "work fervently to organize ordinary people against their own abandonment". They are the ground-level forces that channel rage into manageable projects, preventing it from boiling over into an uncontrollable insurrection. As Dylan Rodriguez argues, this "counterinsurgency machine" relies on this very "ensemble of universities, nonprofits, philanthropic foundations, and advocacy campaigns" to "temper revolutionary movements". They are not misguided comrades; they are the functional equivalent of social workers for the revolution, paid to keep the militancy just below the boiling point.
The counter-insurgent function of this NGO left is not a historical abstraction; it is the daily reality of the movement for Palestine. As detailed by the Black Alliance for Peace, the campaign to criminalize and isolate the Palestine movement has been privatized, with "professors, NGOs, and anonymous social media accounts" operating as "the new informant files". The liberal left does not merely stand by while the state attacks militants; it actively participates and logs the leftists they are close to. When revisionist and reformist leftists show up to marches and point agitators out to the police, aggressively, they are not bystanders they are performing the classic role of the "liberal or revisionist snitch," accelerating the "full spectrum campaign" that the state runs to neutralize its enemies.
We must also reject the moralistic victimhood that often accompanies leftist critique. It is not that the individuals in these NGOs are "traitors" in the sense of a personal, moral failing. Many are well meaning and sincere. The point is that their function is objectively counter-revolutionary, and the system ensures they perform this function regardless of their conscience. The liberal leftist who points out an "agitator" to the police believes they are "protecting the movement." They are not. They are doing the work of the state. The DSA member who spends months on a city council campaign believes they are "building power." They are not. They are building a career inside the cage they should be aiming to destroy.
If the entire NGO complex were to collapse tomorrow, and the "sea of leftists" who currently paddle in its wake were to abandon their reformist projects and join the actual, self reliant vanguard, things would indeed look much more ferocious. But they will not. They cannot. They are structurally bound to the apparatus that contains them. The task for the serious revolutionary, therefore, is not to moralize or to try to "win over" these organizations, but to treat them as what they are, the enemy within. They are a barrier that must be bypassed, not a coalition to be courted. The distributed vanguard does not wait for the NGO complex to reform itself; it organizes around it, through it, and in spite of it, until the day the apparatus of containment is rendered as obsolete as the bourgeois state that funds it.

The case gained prominence because the transaction allegedly involved the administration of La Libertad Mayor Francisco Tamariz.

Global Union Urges Sanctions on Myanmar Regime Over Labor Abuses
The junta has moved to dismantle labor protections, scrapping tripartite mechanisms between workers, employers and the government, while cracking down on trade unions and jailing or exiling labor activists. Addressing the ILC, IndustriALL general secretary Atle Høie stressed that around 450,000 garment workers in Myanmar earn under US$100 a month—about half the living wage. He said factories operating under martial law expose workers to military checkpoints, harassment, unpaid overtime and the threat of forced conscription.

CITU Blames ‘Serious Lapse’ by RINL Management in Following SOPs That Led to Blast Killing 9 Workers
In a statement, CITU flayed the Central government for “hurriedly” issuing an official release terming the accident as a “fire accident”. This “is not wholly factual and smacks of evasion of responsibility and accountability. Such horrible accident took place basically owing to gross violation of and compromise in the “STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE(SOP)” which is integrally linked with the basic preventive safety norms in such an extremely hazard-prone steel production process,” CITU said in its statement.

Military reinforcement from Syrian Ministry of Defence head toward the Lebanese border | Mobilization and buildup by armed factions and foreign fighters in Al-Qusayr
This coincided with a large-scale buildup by armed factions and groups of foreign fighters. Hundreds of them gathered in Al-Qusayr city and its surroundings, and deployed along the border strip between Syria and Lebanon. The sources confirmed that the deployed members are equipped with full weapons and military gear, and are on a state of field alert. However, no precise information is available so far regarding the nature of the missions or objectives linked to these movements.

Israel MPs in bid to exempt ultra-Orthodox from conscription
According to its preamble, the proposed legislation "seeks to enshrine in a Basic Law the status of Torah study as a fundamental value of the Jewish people's heritage". Basic Laws carry constitutional weight in Israel and require a simple majority of 61 out of 120 lawmakers to pass a third reading. The bill also proposes that "the State of Israel recognise individuals who commit to devoting themselves to Torah study over an extended period as performing a meaningful service for the benefit of the state and the Jewish people".

Politically motivated crimes in Germany reach record high
“The majority of crimes were committed by right-wing and far-right perpetrators, which once again demonstrates that the greatest danger currently stems from far-right extremism,” Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said in Berlin on Tuesday after presenting an annual report on crimes motivated by political ideology. Yet, he said far-left actors were responsible for the largest increase in violent crimes, with offenses attributed to left-wing extremist ideology up by about 42 percent. That surge, said Dobrindt, underscores the “growing threat” posed by the “far-left scene.”

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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

Why things degenerated after the death of Stalin?
How come they didn't manage to build decent cadres to lead the country? Why someone like Khrushchev managed to be the next into power? How the rise of revisionism could've been prevented?

I’m getting really fucking sick of the Palestine Movement’s obsession with “celebrity” activists and how much it prioritizes these western activists over actual Palestinians.
All the time on social media I see incidents of sone western activist living in America losing their job for speaking out against Zionism and then proceed to raise $20,000+ through a GoFundMe account in response. All of that money could have been better spent by being directly given to Palestinian families in Gaza who lost everything because if the genocide, or at the very least organizations with a good reputation for helping Palestinians in Palestine. Western activists will survive without your $100 donation, Palestinian families in Gaza won’t.
Tgis obsession with propping up the personalities of “activist celebrities” is one reason the Palestine a movement has become such a clusterfuck. I’m talking about people like Hasan Piker, Greta Thunberg, Chris Smalls, Ms. Rachel, Kehlani, and Vic Mensa to name a few. How about we start focusing on actual Palestinians? The flotilla activists are the same way: they receive so much money and support when they know full well the Zionist authorities won’t let them into Gaza, making the flotillas merely a stunt. Yeah, they were tortured in Zionist prisons but so have thousands of Palestinians who will never have their voices heard in global media.
Or, when Elias Rodriguez goes to trial in a few months you can be sure he’s going to get tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in legal donations from Palestine activists. Gaza is suffering and yet you think giving money to a guy who will clearly be found guilty and spend the rest of his life in prison is a better use of your funds?
Celebrities and influencers should not be propped up on a pedestal at all but the same thing goes for these “I was fired for saying ‘Free Palestine’, I’m a martyr now, gib munny pls” types. Palestinians should be the ones centred here, not western activists who have made loads of money and clout for being pro-Palestine.
I’m getting really fucking sick of the Palestine Movement’s obsession with “celebrity” activists and how much it prioritizes these western activists over actual Palestinians.
All the time on social media I see incidents of sone western activist living in America losing their job for speaking out against Zionism and then proceed to raise $20,000+ through a GoFundMe account in response. All of that money could have been better spent by being directly given to Palestinian families in Gaza who lost everything because if the genocide, or at the very least organizations with a good reputation for helping Palestinians in Palestine. Western activists will survive without your $100 donation, Palestinian families in Gaza won’t.
Tgis obsession with propping up the personalities of “activist celebrities” is one reason the Palestine a movement has become such a clusterfuck. I’m talking about people like Hasan Piker, Greta Thunberg, Chris Smalls, Ms. Rachel, Kehlani, and Vic Mensa to name a few. How about we start focusing on actual Palestinians? The flotilla activists are the same way: they receive so much money and support when they know full well the Zionist authorities won’t let them into Gaza, making the flotillas merely a stunt. Yeah, they were tortured in Zionist prisons but so have thousands of Palestinians who will never have their voices heard in global media.
Or, when Elias Rodriguez goes to trial in a few months you can be sure he’s going to get tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in legal donations from Palestine activists. Gaza is suffering and yet you think giving money to a guy who will clearly be found guilty and spend the rest of his life in prison is a better use of your funds?
Celebrities and influencers should not be propped up on a pedestal at all but the same thing goes for these “I was fired for saying ‘Free Palestine’, I’m a martyr now, gib munny pls” types.

Bahraini authorities repeatedly sounded air raid sirens, while Kuwaiti forces said they were intercepting incoming missiles and drones. Iranian state media also reported fresh damage to two bridges on the Bandar Abbas-Rudan transport route, while officials said at least eight civilians were killed in Friday's attacks in Hormozgan province. Meanwhile, senior Iranian military official Major-General Mohsen Rezaee said that Tehran would "abandon its restrained military posture" if US attacks continued.

Cuba edges toward breakdown as power cuts and US meddling push society to brink
Ever since 3 January, when the US military abducted President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela, Donald Trump has promised Cuba will fall. “Whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it,” he told reporters at the White House in March. In its efforts to achieve this, Washington has used sanctions to destroy Cuba’s industries. Foreign companies doing business on the island, from hotel operators, airlines, miners and shipping companies, have been driven out (or in cases such as the Canadian nickel miner Sherritt, have drawn up plans to stay in by selling its interests to Ray Washburne, a former adviser to Trump).

Continuing with the party’s radical legacy, Mélenchon is running on a platform of rupture, encouraging direct involvement in shaping the presidency’s program. In a letter to the French people, he singled out the climate crisis and the erosion of social and labor protections as primary drivers of declining living standards, particularly for working-class families.

In most cases the EIC formed alliances with regional rivals and local elites who were acting in their own political and strategic self-interest. These groups were not passive victims manipulated into conflict, they saw cooperation with the British as the best way to advance their own ambitions and often they achieved many of their goals through those alliances.
While I'm thinking primarily about South Asia, the exact same narratives appear is most third world societies. Former colonies often claim they were conquered because the colonizers "divided and conquered" them, implying that major social, political or ethnic divisions either did not exist before colonialism and shouldn't matter now.
I'm curious have socialist historians or theorists argued against the simplified "divide and conquer" narrative or offered a more nuanced explanation of how colonialism relied on alliances with local elites, existing class structures, and pre-existing political conflicts?

On July 17, 2026, China's Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued scathing condemnations, labeling the move a "forced expropriation," a "severe infringement on the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises," and "a blatant breach of the China-UK Bilateral Investment Treaty". In response, Beijing explicitly backed Chinese enterprises in resolutely defending their rights through legal avenues, and warned that the move would severely shatter global corporate confidence in the UK's investment environment.

In July 2023, due to Western sanctions, a large number of European and American companies (such as Denmark's Carlsberg, France's Danone, and Germany's E.ON) sought to withdraw from Russia. The Russian government subsequently signed presidential decrees transferring the Russian assets of these Western firms—which had refused to operate or could no longer function normally due to sanctions—to temporary state management, and even "selling" them to local pro-government buyers at heavily discounted fire-sale prices.
In the first half of 2024, Western nations issued fierce condemnations, denouncing such actions as "illegal state theft" and "a flagrant violation of property rights".

The UK government subsequently pushed through the emergency Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Act 2026 to force the dysfunctional Chinese-owned firm into public ownership (de facto nationalization), effectively stripping the original owners of their economic rights over the Scunthorpe plant.On July 17, 2026, China's Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued scathing condemnations, labeling the move a "forced expropriation," a "severe infringement on the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises," and "a blatant breach of the China-UK Bilateral Investment Treaty".

Germany may make it illegal to deny Israel's right to exist
According to the Bundesrat's proposal, "anyone who publicly, or at a public assembly, denies the State of Israel's right to exist or calls for its destruction" would be subject to criminal penalties. However, the offense would be punishable only where the conduct in question is capable of encouraging antisemitic acts of violence or other forms of discriminatory treatment. According to the explanatory memorandum accompanying the bill, the existing provisions of German criminal law — including those addressing incitement to hatred and the use of symbols associated with terrorist organizations — are insufficient.

With the exception of the Left Party split-off, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), all parties have so far ruled out governing in coalition with the far right. But a change to this position has long been under discussion. Should several parties fail to clear the 5 percent threshold required for entry into the state legislature, it is mathematically possible that the AfD could win an absolute majority even if it only polls just above 40 percent of the vote.

Trump’s Board of Peace drops full Gaza recovery plan in favour of tiny pilot schemeThe pilot camp envisaged in the current blueprint would consist of portable cabins for tens of thousands of displaced people in Gaza and would be set up in the buffer zone along the ceasefire line near Rafah. Israeli troops would withdraw from the line and security at the crossing between Hamas-run Gaza and the camp would be overseen by the ISF and a specially trained Palestinian police force, officially vetted by NCAG and the ISF – though in reality Israel is expected to have a decisive say in who is recruited.

Germany may make it illegal to deny Israel's right to exist
According to the Bundesrat's proposal, "anyone who publicly, or at a public assembly, denies the State of Israel's right to exist or calls for its destruction" would be subject to criminal penalties. However, the offense would be punishable only where the conduct in question is capable of encouraging antisemitic acts of violence or other forms of discriminatory treatment. According to the explanatory memorandum accompanying the bill, the existing provisions of German criminal law — including those addressing incitement to hatred and the use of symbols associated with terrorist organizations — are insufficient.

Far-right Alternative for Germany sets out blueprint for power in Saxony-Anhalt
With the exception of the Left Party split-off, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), all parties have so far ruled out governing in coalition with the far right. But a change to this position has long been under discussion. Should several parties fail to clear the 5 percent threshold required for entry into the state legislature, it is mathematically possible that the AfD could win an absolute majority even if it only polls just above 40 percent of the vote.

‘Our bodies contain poison’: Landmark trial in Argentina probes dangers of agrochemicals

US to impose new 25 percent tariffs on some Brazilian imports
The new tariffs on Brazil were announced late on Wednesday by the US trade representative. These mark the first set of tariffs under the White House’s new trade strategy using Section 301, a provision in existing US trade law that allows for investigations into so-called unfair trade practices, which the US then uses to justify levies imposed against a country.

SocDem tankie
My dad is a SocDem(the welfare capitalist kind) tankie. He has tons of books defending the Soviet Union. Try to criticize the Soviets and he would say the CIA have brainwashed you. He makes us celebrate Stalin's birthday every year, and he wholeheartedly believes that Stalin was secretly a social democrat. Every year on 9/11, he complains that the fall of the USSR was a bigger tragedy but doesn't get treated as such at all by the media. He doesn't like communism tho.

PROTESTERS have blockaded the entrance to an Edinburgh weapons factory with links to Israel. Around 100 pro-Palestine activists gathered outside the Leonardo factory on Crewe Road, in Edinburgh, on Thursday morning. They demanded that the firm "drops the F-35 contract" with weapons firm Lockheed Martin, which they said is complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza as well as attacks on Iran and Lebanon.

Germany massively expands federal police powers
The German Bundestag last week approved a new law that significantly expands the powers of the federal police by providing the scope to use drones, artificial intelligence, and increased surveillance of telecommunications. The law also makes it easier to incarcerate immigrants due for deportation. The government argued that the law — the first new federal police law in Germany since 1994 — is essential to keep up with technological developments, and the changing nature of threats to public safety.

Iranian press review: Political figures expect continued but limited confrontation with US
The Tehran City Council is considering a plan that would require shelters and safe spaces in many buildings across the capital and allow metro stations and public parking facilities to be used as emergency shelters. The proposed plan suggests that officials consider the possibility of continuing military conflicts. … Masih Mohajeri, a cleric and politician close to Iran's reformist political groups, has called for confronting pro-war voices inside the country. … Mohajeri described the governments of the US and Israel as "fascist and racist", arguing that a single military action would not be enough to confront them.

Although NSO Group says Pegasus is sold only to governments to help them track criminals and terrorists, the spyware is alleged to have been used by several countries to target dissidents, journalists, diplomats and politicians.

From abundance to retreat: what happened to Nile water levels in Sudan?
Families have been forced to buy water delivered in barrels, with the price of a single barrel reaching SDG10,000. Many residents are instead relying on salty groundwater from wells including the Musa Abdeen well, the Nour Aldayem factory well, and another located near the water station. The resident said the underlying problem was that the area surrounding the pumps had dried out after the river channel shifted away from the intake points. Authorities have deployed heavy machinery and loaders to excavate a new channel that will allow water to reach the pump wells once again.

President Claudia Sheinbaum’s bid to close ranks and call for national unity against the Trump administration, arguing that sovereignty and the lives of fellow Mexicans are at stake, has floundered. The response from parties opposed to the ruling government arrived quickly, but not in the expected way.

Fuck our species.
In 1992 the Church of Euthanasia started with a simple goal, to end humanity. Its founders, Chris Korda and Robert Kimberk were staunch environmentalists and nihilists who expressed their view of the world in art and protest movements. The group came under heavy scrutiny in the early 2000s for posting a montage of the 9/11 attacks with the title “I like to watch”. They also faced legal trouble when a 52 year old woman committed suicide using instructions they posted on their website.The church has 4 key pillars, abortion, cannibalism, sodomy, and suicide, all intended to deal with the immense biowaste that we represent.

It's the exact same thing with your modern rightoid antisemite. He doesn't actually hate the things he says the jews do. He just hates that it's them doing it instead of him. Totally and absolutely amoral. Whether it's systemically healthy for ANYONE to do it literally never occurs to him.
I finally get it. It's more than just incidental overlap. It is the exact same causal structure. It's a generalized style of interacting with the world. If you have this style, that you become an antisemite is just as natural that you become an incel.
Incels and Rightoids
I think I understand why incels and the modern right are so well aligned. An incel doesn't actually hate the fact that dating sucks and some attractive men are really successful at the expense of average men. He just hates that HE'S not the successful man. Totally uninterested in whether or not the system is good (or even real, but that's another argument) – he just wants to be the beneficiary of it.It's the exact same thing with your modern rightoid antisemite.

Materialists sometimes become Moralist-Materialists and inadvertently reproduce Abrahamic logic in Secular form. For instance, take these two conflicting forms of morality in the bible:
>Exodus says God punishes people intergenerationally, for the crimes of their ancestors
versus
>Ezekiel says God punishes people individually for their crimes
Now obviously materialists don't believe in supernatural entities like God, so it is up to humanity to catch and punish "crimes" but in deciding what "crime" is morality is created and conflated with legality. You can see this in the accumulation of unpunished crimes. Many if not most crimes go undiscovered, and the ones which are discovered may often go unsolved, and therefore unpunished. An unsolved and unpunished crime challenges the legitimacy of the law. People reinvent morality forms like Karma in secular form to excuse this systemic weakness.
For instance, the vast majority of slave owners died happy, fat, and unpunished. This distresses a great many people, even after slavery ended, so an Exodus style morality is created: intergenerational privilege passed down from abolished institutions becomes a crime in itself, not legally punishable, but morally punishable almost as severe as the crime itself, and the Exodus style morality is applied. Against this Exodus style morality comes the Ezekiel protesting "But I personally did not do anything."
There is an ever ending debate in humanity it seems regarding whether crimes are merely breeches of the law or of a sacred morality which is objective and above the law. There is a never ending debate whether children should be punished for the crimes of their parents, since they benefited indirectly from the spoils of those crimes.
But Exodus style morality can only apply to the crime which is discovered, but as yet unpunished. It cannot apply to the crime which is both discovered and unpunished. Therefore the Exodus style morality becomes an excuse to punish generations for the crimes of their ancestors, while excusing the crimes of individuals as long as they were sufficiently able to hide them and get away with them.
In comes mass surveillance as a promise to create God's Eye on Earth and "solve" the problem of undiscovered crimes by making everyone subject to a panopticon. A tempting offer, but one which should be rejected.

Trump authorises US ground invasion of Iran as President declares 'next phase of operations'
https://www.independent.co.uk/US-ground-invasion-staging
>President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will begin major ground operations inside Iran in the coming days, confirming a dramatic escalation of the months-long conflict between Washington and Tehran.
>In a statement posted Monday morning, the President said he had authorised what he called the "next phase of operations" following consultations with senior military commanders and his national security team.
> "The Radical Regime in Iran has refused every opportunity to make a deal. They chose conflict instead of PEACE," Trump wrote.
> "In the coming days, the United States Armed Forces will begin major ground operations to accomplish our mission quickly and decisively."
>The announcement comes after weeks of renewed fighting across the Persian Gulf, including American airstrikes against Iranian military facilities, Iranian missile attacks on U.S. bases in the region, and an escalating maritime confrontation around the Strait of Hormuz.
>Until now, U.S. strategy has relied primarily on airpower, cruise missiles, special operations forces and naval strikes targeting Revolutionary Guard infrastructure, missile launch sites and military command facilities.
>Military analysts expect the invasion to involve: Army and Marine Corps combat brigades Airborne and Special Operations units Heavy armour supported by extensive air cover Carrier strike groups operating in the Persian Gulf Continued long-range missile and bomber strikes throughout the campaign
>Several possible invasion routes are believed to be under consideration, including advances from Iraq into western Iran and amphibious landings along Iran's southern Gulf coastline.
>The White House has not said whether Congress will vote to authorize the invasion before troops enter Iran.

>"All they do is talk and they have fake press. They do very well with the fake press, but because the fake news wants us to lose," Trump said.
Trump authorises US ground invasion of Iran as President declares 'next phase of operations'
https://www.independent.co.uk/US-ground-invasion-staging
>President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will begin major ground operations inside Iran in the coming days, confirming a dramatic escalation of the months-long conflict between Washington and Tehran.
>In a statement posted Monday morning, the President said he had authorised what he called the "next phase of operations" following consultations with senior military commanders and his national security team.
> "The Radical Regime in Iran has refused every opportunity to make a deal. They chose conflict instead of PEACE," Trump wrote.
> "In the coming days, the United States Armed Forces will begin major ground operations to accomplish our mission quickly and decisively."
>The announcement comes after weeks of renewed fighting across the Persian Gulf, including American airstrikes against Iranian military facilities, Iranian missile attacks on U.S. bases in the region, and an escalating maritime confrontation around the Strait of Hormuz.
>Until now, U.S. strategy has relied primarily on airpower, cruise missiles, special operations forces and naval strikes targeting Revolutionary Guard infrastructure, missile launch sites and military command facilities.
>Military analysts expect the invasion to involve: Army and Marine Corps combat brigades Airborne and Special Operations units Heavy armour supported by extensive air cover Carrier strike groups operating in the Persian Gulf Continued long-range missile and bomber strikes throughout the campaign
>Several possible invasion routes are believed to be under consideration, including advances from Iraq into western Iran and amphibious landings along Iran's southern Gulf coastline.
>The White House has not said whether Congress will vote to authorize the invasion before troops enter Iran.
Trump administration considering temporary suspension of due process as war drags on
https://www.nytimes.com/usa/due-process-suspension
>WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is currently considering that constitutional due process protections will be temporarily suspended under emergency powers, describing the measure as necessary to counter what officials called an "imminent internal and external security threat" ahead of the planned U.S. ground invasion of Iran.
>President Donald Trump is planned to sign the National Security Order by Tuesday evening, granting federal and state authorities sweeping powers to detain individuals suspected of aiding Iran or threatening national security without the normal judicial procedures.

The left-leaning A Just Russia party had nominated Kostrov to run as a candidate in September for St. Petersburg’s legislative assembly. However, under Russian law, his conviction bars him from seeking elected office for one year.

The president-elect also promised to close war crimes tribunal JEP, which has been trying thousands of former guerrillas and former members of the military. De la Espriella could only do this through legislation that would change the constitution and the international treaties that protect the victims of an armed conflict between the State and the now-defunct guerrilla organization FARC.

Venezuelan Parliament Approves Reform to Pro-Tenant Housing Laws Amid Post-Earthquake Recovery
The Venezuelan legislature voted in favor of a Law for the Special Regime of Housing Property Leasing and a partial reform of the Law Against Real Estate Fraud. Both projects will now be subject to consultations and revisions before being put to a second and final vote. “Our main task with this reform is to stimulate the housing rental market,” National Assembly Vice President Pedro Infante stated. “We have to strengthen the legal certainty for property owners and also protect tenants. It’s a legal balance.”

De la Espriella could only do this through legislation that would change the constitution and the international treaties that protect the victims of an armed conflict between the State and the now-defunct guerrilla organization FARC.

Colombia’s Outgoing President Says Israeli Firm Meddled in Election
The firm, BlackCore, allegedly waged a disinformation campaign against both Petro and his ally Ivan Cepeda, who was running for the presidency against the US and Israel’s preferred candidate, Abelardo de la Espriella. “BlackCore, the Israeli company, deployed 500,000 bots – fake profiles – to manipulate the Colombian electorate with millions of lies about Ivan and me,” Petro wrote on X last week.

Peru is the world's third-largest copper producer. The country has about $64 billion in planned mining investments, many in poor rural regions where local communities say they have seen too few benefits and fear environmental damage.

Venezuelan Parliament Approves Reform to Pro-Tenant Housing Laws Amid Post-Earthquake Recovery
The Venezuelan legislature voted in favor of a Law for the Special Regime of Housing Property Leasing and a partial reform of the Law Against Real Estate Fraud. Both projects will now be subject to consultations and revisions before being put to a second and final vote. “Our main task with this reform is to stimulate the housing rental market,” National Assembly Vice President Pedro Infante stated. “We have to strengthen the legal certainty for property owners and also protect tenants. It’s a legal balance.”

What exactly was Neoconservatism and how exactly did it originate? Was it the philosophy of Leo Strauss? Was it former Trotskyists like Irving Kristol? If so, why did these ex-Trots flip and become right-wingers? Politically, it started in America with the Reagan presidency, so what exactly were Reagan's political influences? Also, given that its biggest proponents were Jews, did it have any Talmudic or Kabbalistic element to it?
Basically, sum up whatever Neoconservatism is. Also, Straussian Neocons formed coalitions with the Religious Right and free market neoliberals despite all three groups having contradictory ideologies. Why?

how can low birthrates and immigration both be a problem? it would seem to me that one ought to compensate for the other. if you're worried about the population of your country decreasing then you should be happy that new people are coming in to bolster your numbers. if you are worried about the population being too high, then you should be happy that people aren't having as many babies.
and let's face it, neither of these things are issues that anyone can really do anything about. you can't make millions of people have sex and produce babies more often and you can't stop millions of people from entering a country. human behavior at this scale is basically like the weather, you can't control it or do anything about it and there's no sense in whining about it, all you can really do is just accept it and adapt to it.

So what exactly is bad about this generally speaking? Especially on a neoliberal Earth where the international elite, outside of china, can flee and go anywhere and has no accountability? The strategy of dengist economics has produced the same results that people like Mao and Stalin wanted out of their countries like mass industrialization, electrification, and prosperity but at the same time holding their own societal elites accountable.
So what are the flaws of dengist economics?
So say a Marxist-Leninist economy has all of the stuff important to the state nationalized and operating under scientific planning, it tries to give the basic needs of life like employment and housing to everyone as possible, but there's additionally a private sector for commodity circulation because trying to micromanage every small business to the smallest detail is silly in general. The private sector is heavily regulated to prevent them from subverting the rest of society, and also taxed to help pay for the rest of society.So what exactly is bad about this generally speaking?

Just asking because I see people engage in never-ending theory battles online, as well as discounting the contributions of leftists of other tendencies. It seems so strange to me, like instead of acknowledging the good work others have done, while maintaining your own critiques for how to do it better, it seems more in vogue to treat other ideologies as fakes designed to waste your time and meet them with hostility.
I mean obviously this is the internet, people are constantly cranked up to 11, trolling, or genuinely suffering from untreated mental illness. But it seems to me that we're seeing a massive resurgence in leftist thought and action, so I figured people would exercise a little discipline to make the most of the moment. Tbf, this could all be crazy people, bots, government psyops, and algorithmic manipulation. I've just seen people I genuinely appreciate engage in the same shit, so there has to be some element that's real.
Ideological Rigidity?
Real question, how many of you adhere neatly to one ideology? I think everybody vibes with a particular tendency, but personally I'm totally happy to steal good ideas from across ideological lines. I definitely think there's an optimal way to achieve a leftist society as well, however if someone implements another plan to get us there that doesn't fuck others over, I don't see myself being too upset so long as we get where we're going.Just asking because I see people engage in never-ending theory battles online, as well as discounting the contributions of leftists of other tendencies.

If you don't talk about OIL you think the recent wars are about "security" or "nationalism" or "anti imperialism" then you are a fed who defends the US oil industry by distracting from what's actually going on.
So let's talk OIL. World oil consumption is now 103 mbd (million barrels/day). This number is expected to peak in 2030 and depending on decarbonization scenarios, it could decline to between 50 mbd and 80 mbd by 2050.
Now take a good look at the oil production by countries. And look at the reserves.
What does all this tell you? It tells us that oil revenues and profits are going to tank in the coming 20 years. And oil is one of the last major profit centers in capitalism.
It's not a coincidence that major oil producers like Iran, Russia, USA, Gulf, Venezuela are all the major players in recent geopolitical upheavals. This is not a world war. This is a war specifically between oil producers trying to expand marketshare in a world of shrinking oil demand and profits.
Now there's another crucial aspect to consider here - that is the cost of production. The Gulf can produce oil cheaper than anywhere else in the world, while US and Venezuela oil needs prices to remain above $60 to be profitable.
Now can you connect the dots? In a shrinking oil world, it's the Gulf/Iran that will win out at the end by being the last remaining oil producing area that can produce profitable at very low prices. The US/Venezuela will have to sell at near cost to have any marketshare, and that's assuming they're still able to have any marketshare at all.
But the US and Gulf are mostly allies so instead of fighting each other, they've decided to neutralize the Iranian and Russian oil industry. This achieves the common benefit of both sides maintaining their marketshare while keeping prices high which benefits both US/Venezuela and Gulf.

Israel courted Iran’s former hardline president for post-regime role, reports claim
Ahmadinejad – who is now believed to be in the custody of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to a New York Times report citing Iranian officials – had begun in previous years to distance himself from the regime, improve his English and redefine his image. The effort to install him as a new Iranian leader gathered steam after Ahmadinejad was invited to speak at the same university in the Hungarian capital that had been addressed just two months earlier by Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, in 2025.

Business executives making 'contingency plans' for UAE-Saudi Arabia feud
The UAE and Saudi Arabia are at loggerheads on several geopolitical hotspots, including Yemen, Sudan and Israel. But they are also economic competitors. Saudi Arabia is trying to make its capital, Riyadh, the centre of regional business activity in direct competition with Dubai. The two neighbours have also clashed over energy, with the UAE massively boosting oil production since leaving the Saudi-led energy alliance Opec in May.

Spain Opens Probe Into Israeli Military Over Abduction of Activists
The Spanish court’s investigation will only focus on what happened on vessels flying the Spanish flag, since this is where the country has jurisdiction, judge Francisco de Jorge said at a hearing on Friday. The judge will ask the International Criminal Court (ICC) to clarify if the flotilla detentions fall under its investigation into Israeli genocide and war crimes in Palestine, and whether the Spanish probe might conflict with the ICC’s work.

While often at odds, fighters from the two groups or their predecessors have also partnered on occasion to fight common enemies, namely Mali’s government and its allies.

South Africa’s anti-immigrant groups move from ultimatums to door-to-door threats
The objective seems to have changed: it’s no longer simply about demonstrating, but rather about undertaking what have come to be known as “door-to-door” campaigns. That is, going house to house to find foreign citizens and urge them — sometimes politely, sometimes forcefully — to leave the country. And, unlike other episodes of racial tension in the country’s history, the protagonists of these protests are, for the most part, Black South African citizens who are targeting Black immigrants.

US imposes new sanctions on Cuba tourism ministry, state-owned companies
The agency said it is giving companies and financial institutions that do business with the state-owned companies until August 12 to wind down existing contracts without facing sanctions. The new sanctions follow an executive order in May that allowed the US to freeze any US-based assets belonging to people or organisations supporting Cuba’s government or economy. The order also increased pressure on banks that work with Cuban entities.

China’s ‘Green Great Wall’ tames desert growth, but scientists warn the fight is not over
For a long time, drought, overgrazing and farming removed vegetation, harmed the soil and made areas vulnerable to wind and sandstorms. That kind of degradation of the land over time is known as desertification. The area of desertified land in northern China peaked in 2000, and it has been reduced by over 1,000 square kilometers (400 square miles) each year since then, according to data published by state media. The Chinese government said the initiative launched in 1978 has played a crucial role in transforming vast regions covering nearly half of China from “the desertification advancing and people retreating” to “greenery advancing and the desertification retreating.” Forests planted by the program now cover a cumulative 500,000 square kilometers (200,000 square miles) .

The only real limit to these money-raising methods should be, "how could this negatively affect the movement?" Consider the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery by Bolsheviks - this event's recklessness and harm to civilians seriously damaged the Bolsheviks' reputation in Georgia and among other socialists. Contrast that against the 1906 Helsinki bank robbery, the Dusheti treasury heist and the Bezdany raid by various socialist organizations, which had no citizen casualties.
If you can do so with little risk, you absolutely should be pirating entertainment media, shoplifting and investing in mutual funds.
More so, if you are not publicly affiliated with the socialist movement, and you have the means, you should be buying property, owning factories or being a landlord. If your tenants and workers aren't socialists, it's very important for you to take as much of their money as you pragmatically can and use it to combat capitalism.
Remember: the status quo is destroying more people than you could ever hope to. To do nothing is harmful.
Fuck the current situation, get money
We live in capitalist societies, where money and time are the fundamental resources for building power. Almost every other resource can be purchased or built from these, or will be boosted by these.

Precisely because this here is a highly ideological forum, I wonder why this topic isn't being discussed here at all. You don't consume traditional mainstream media, yet you let X and YouTube dictate what you see and rewire your brain? And quite apart from that, the scale of algorithmic manipulation is not even remotely comparable to traditional media like television or newspapers. Are you even aware of what you're doing? Why do you think X and YouTube are banned in countries like China?

It seems to me that the most popular political position these days is some form of developmentalist national liberalism. Most people would like a strong but democratic state to intervene in the economy to eliminate the worst excesses of capitalism, direct investment to promote employment growth and modern industry, and generally avoid imperialist meddling or international entanglements. These kinds of positions were very popular in the 1950s and 60s, and people on the street are generally agreeable towards them.
So why do today's ideological arguments not reflect this? Why is everyone cosplaying as a fascist or a communist when their policy positions remain fundamentally liberal? Why are people turning to Sorel or Stalin for theory and not Nehru or Nasser? Why is liberalism constantly disparaged as bankrupt or illegitimate when all the alternatives to it end up looking exactly the same?

Satanyahu and his genocidal settler ilk largely take their genocidal murderous ideology from the teachings of Rabbi Abraham Kook, a late 19th-early 20th century Latvian rabbi. Kook was a rabid Zio who largely based his Zionism in a mix of Talmud, Kabbalah and German idealism, specifically Hegel. He believed the Jews establishing a racialist settled-colony in Palestine was part of a mystical process of “redemption.” He came to Palestine as a settler and ended up dying there in the 1930s when Palestine was illegally occupied by the British. His thought is very Hegelian with highly fascistic overtones, and anyone can defend with Palestine must learn his thought to fully understand the genocidal nature of Isn’treal.

“A vessel that had jeopardised maritime security by switching off its systems was struck and brought to a halt,” the navy of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement, without giving any details about the ship. US Central Command said a short time later that its forces began a third round of strikes against Iran. “The United States is imposing a heavy cost by continuing to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial ships freely transiting the strait,” the military said.

Mao Zedong, "On Contradiction" (August 1937)
"This means that, on the basis of the existing productive forces and within their limits, it is the relations of production that play the decisive role. The whole of Capital, and all the works of Lenin and Mao Zedong, serve as a commentary on this thesis, which has never been recognized by Marxists."
Louis Althusser, "On the Reproduction of Capital" / "On the Relations of Production" (written 1969-1973, published posthumously).
"The changes and development of production always begin with changes and development of the productive forces, and in the first place, with changes and development of the instruments of production. Productive forces are therefore the most mobile and revolutionary element of production. First the productive forces of society change and develop, and then, depending on these changes and in conformity with them, men's relations of production, their economic relations, change.
Relations of production develop depending on the development of the productive forces, but they, in their turn, react upon the development of productive forces, accelerating or retarding it. And it must be noted that the relations of production cannot postpone lagging behind the growth of the productive forces and being in contradiction to them for too long, for the productive forces can develop to the full only when the relations of production correspond to the nature and state of the productive forces and allow full scope for their development."

Mao Zedong was undoubtedly a teacher to Western Marxists
"True, the productive forces, practice and the economic base generally play the principal and decisive role; whoever denies this is not a materialist. But it must also be admitted that in certain conditions, such aspects as the relations of production, theory and the superstructure in turn manifest themselves in the principal and decisive role."Mao Zedong, "On Contradiction" (August 1937)

As a result of escalating tensions revolving around some unapproved bishop appointments, it's officially happened: the Vatican has declared the tradcath Society of Saint Pius X to be schismatic and therefor not just its bishops but lay practitioners too are excommunicated. While the largest amount of tradcaths tend to congregate in America there's still plenty spread out all over the world. What are the implications of this split? Possible Antipope soon?

Bonapartism describes a state that achieves relative autonomy from any single class by claiming to stand above class conflict entirely ruling personalistically through plebiscitary mass appeal and charismatic authority rather than through a party program or a coherent class coalition, while materially serving capital's interests without capital directly controlling the state apparatus. Bonaparte's actual regime combined: personalist rule bypassing parliamentary/institutional mediation, appeals to a cross-class "people" against both organized labor and the traditional elite, military prestige projects and adventurism as legitimation (the whole Second Empire foreign policy pattern), and state-directed economic development (Haussmann's Paris, railway financing) alongside crushing independent labor organization. That's close to a checklist match for Trump: personalist rule, state economic direction, military/security emphasis as legitimating spectacle, hostility to organized labor and the left, appeal over the heads of institutions to a plebiscitary mass base.
Bonapartism in the Marxist tradition is specifically theorized as arising when class conflict reaches a stalemate where no single class can rule directly, so an autonomous executive arbitrates from above, critically, without needing to make durable concessions to labor the way a genuinely hegemonic class-coalition government would. Gramsci's extension of the concept (he uses “Caesarism” interchangeably) is explicitly about a strong personalist arbiter stepping in during a legitimacy crisis of the ordinary political process, offering national/military grandeur and personal charisma as substitutes for programmatic concession. That's the theoretical explanation for exactly why Trumpism is anti social welfare while pro military spending Bonapartist/Caesarist rule doesn't need to buy off labor, because it's explicitly a crisis arbitration form that draws its legitimacy from personal charisma and national mythology rather than from a stable coalition requiring material payoffs.
So: Bonapartism (Marx's term) or Caesarism (Gramsci's near-synonym) is the actual name for 19th-century style personalist strongman, holistic state-directed military-industrial policy, minimal welfare concession, legitimated by charisma and national grandeur rather than institution-building or class-coalition bargaining. Specifically it explains personalist executive rule that serves capital without needing programmatic concession to any class, including capital itself.

‘Farcical reality’: Healthcare workers respond to targeting over pro-Palestine symbols
Middle East Eye spoke to a number of pro-Palestine NHS workers about their experience campaigning against the genocide in Gaza and the backlash they have faced from their workplace as a result. The Mann report was commissioned by former health secretary Wes Streeting in 2025 to investigate antisemitism in the NHS. However, the British Medical Association (BMA) noted that, although the need to combat antisemitism and racism within the NHS is vital, some of the recommendations from the report are “deeply concerning” in how they might be implemented, particularly with regard to freedom of speech and expression.

At the screening in Gurdaspur, elderly survivors of the insurgency sat beside teenagers born years after it ended. When the screen flickered to life and “Satluj” movie began, the crowd fell silent.

Proletarian Science Fiction
I look at early Science fiction, and it seems a lot of it before the 50's had a communist character to it - thinking of stuff like "Red Star" or the whole topic of Russian Cosmism, it seems a lot of this got swallowed up by liberal and pro-colonial science fiction (starship troopers, star trek).

In his first pronouncement on foreign policy and the military build-up, Mr Burnham emphasised backing for the continuing Ukraine conflict and support for the escalating arms bill. He also failed to mention Palestine or the crisis in Gaza at all in the article, which appeared in The Times, despite claiming he would be “guided by our values.” He also pledged to retain Jonathan Powell as national security adviser in No 10.

Russia has one of the highest rates of HIV-AIDS in the Western World, rivalling many countries in Africa. And this isn't a new thing either. The USSR had an AIDS crisis towares the end, and there's plenty of evidence that HIV-AIDS was one of the major factors behind the USSR's collapse. It's ironic, because all the capitalist indulgences such as homosexuality, IV drug use, and prostitution were highly, highly taboo in the USSR, and yet AIDS rampaged through their society. The only logical explanation is that AIDS was a CIA bioweapon.

English needs spelling and conjugation overhaul so badly
Overhaul English NAO!!!
>Simplified Chinese was officially introduced by the government of the People's Republic of China in the 1950s as part of a broader effort to increase literacy and modernize the country. The reform reduced the number of strokes in many commonly used characters and standardized certain character forms, making them easier and faster to learn and write. Although the government promoted the reform, it drew on simplification practices and proposals that had existed for centuries. The primary goal was to help expand education and enable more people, especially those with limited access to schooling, to become literate. Simplified Chinese is now the standard writing system in China and Singapore, while Traditional Chinese remains in use in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.English needs spelling and conjugation overhaul so badly

One of the most hollowing things about being a leftoid is just how much bad behavior is automatically given to you just because you want to live in a world where people don't starve or whatever and there could be more free time to do well whatever the fuck uyghas want to do. Yet leftoids are said to always have these Dysgenetic traits while rightiods get to portray themselves as the yes chad and we get saddled with soyjaks and shit. Even people who are just vaguely sympathetic to our cause is also getting that treatment and other such shit. "Conservatives/Chuds are the real punk rock/edgelords/contrarians" "Conservatives/Chuds are the real tolerant people", "Conservatives are all fit" yet if you ever bring up rural/urban obesity rates or notice how fucking ugly, the very obvious gap in autism score s between rightiods and leftoids, how much social conservatives have larger amygladas (Thus they feel fear and disgust more, not very stoic of them), how they think they can't even win a fight against DONALD TRUMP or even worse MID LOOKING all these rightiod look like and yet you still have vtubers and shit saying they want to be impregnated by Asmongold!Being a leftoid is basically having no fucking ego defense and you have to be much more fit, intelligent and other such qualities to get ass while centroid/chud men get it easier despite them not even needing to be HALF of any of things we have to do.

The Workers Party of Turkey (TIP), a left-wing group with three MPs in the Turkish parliament, organised the Istanbul Anti-Imperialist Peace Summit to present an alternative perspective to the commonly held view in Europe that Nato is the first line of defence for the continent. "The 2026 Ankara Summit marks the threshold of a period in which the working people of Nato member states are left more vulnerable to exploitation and war, despite the forced increase in defence spending," reads the conference's pamphlet, "No to Nato", referring to a new commitment by all alliance members to increase defence spending to five percent of GDP annually by 2035.

The package also includes a reform of the central bank's charter. Milei said the bill would explicitly prohibit, with criminal penalties, the bank from financing the Treasury through money printing, a practice he considers one of the structural causes of Argentine inflation. “Fraud and currency counterfeiting are criminal offenses,” he said. The initiative seeks to reverse a 2012 reform, approved under the government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, which broadened the bank's mandate from preserving the value of the currency toward multiple goals of employment and development. The president described the set as reforms meant to “repair 91 years of political fraud.”

'Out of the question': South Lebanon Christians reject Netanyahu's annexation claims
The denial was especially significant because it came from figures and parties deeply opposed to Hezbollah, including the Kataeb Party, which told The New Arab that the besieged border Christian communities wanted neither Israeli rule nor Hezbollah’s military presence, but safety, dignity and the protection of the Lebanese state. "Occupation and siege are not a choice, and neither is displacement," a senior official in the Kataeb said, asking not to be named. "The people of these villages have no connection to either Israel or Hezbollah," he added

Why China’s technical schools offer both hope and despair for jobless college grads
According to a People’s Daily report on May 9, more than 70 per cent of new, highly skilled talent for modern industries over the past five years has come from vocational education. The report said the employment rate for higher vocational graduates had stayed around 90 per cent – and above 95 per cent at top schools. But not every “return to the furnace” proves worthwhile, and many have found the vocational track falling short of its promises. An article published on June 10 in the Economic Observer offered three cautionary tales.

Petro calls for national mobilisation in defence of his reforms on independence day
Fears are rife in Colombia that the election of Abelardo de la Espriella will see the reversal of land redistribution — beneficiaries are already reporting attacks by paramilitaries linked to the old landowners — and of environmental protection measures like the ban on new drilling and mining operations in the Amazon rainforest. To avoid violence, left-wing presidential candidate Ivan Cepeda has conceded the election though critics, including Mr Petro, allege fraud. The election was also subject to prominent intervention by foreign leaders, most obviously US President Donald Trump.

In the most sensitive part of his remarks, the president-elect asked the Armed Forces to “fulfill their oath to protect the Constitution and not obey any order from Petro to the contrary.” He also called on citizens to “resist” until the inauguration, and said he would respect peaceful protest but not “acts of force.” The decision follows a hardening of Petro's stance. The previous day, the president had reiterated that he does not recognize the incoming government's legitimacy and claimed the true winner was his candidate, left-wing senator Iván Cepeda, insisting on alleged fraud through algorithm manipulation.

R: 56 / I: 7
This tendency is neither confined to the political left nor unique to the twenty-first century. Throughout the history of capitalism, socialists, anarchists, communists, as well as fascists, liberals, and conservatives have all, at different moments, imagined catastrophe as politically clarifying. The wager is simple. The contradictions of society intensify until they become unbearable, forcing people to abandon old illusions, confront reality, and take action, lawful or otherwise.
Whether this wager is correct remains one of the most difficult questions facing revolutionary politics. The phrase "things have to get worse before they get better" expresses an intuition rooted in historical materialism. If the existing order continues to satisfy enough people's immediate needs, then those people have relatively little incentive to overthrow it. Reform appears preferable to revolution. Stability reproduces consent. Capitalism is not static. It generates recurring crises. Falling profitability, unemployment, debt, environmental destruction, imperial conflict, housing shortages, and declining public services are not external accidents but recurring features of the system itself. From this perspective, worsening conditions expose capitalism's inability to meet human needs. This is not obviously irrational. Revolutions rarely emerge during periods of widespread prosperity. They tend to occur during crises.
Yet this observation immediately confronts a second one. Most crises do not produce revolution, they produce exhaustion. Misery is not consciousness. The assumption that suffering naturally radicalizes people confuses necessity with possibility. Material hardship creates grievances. It does not automatically create revolutionary consciousness. A worker facing eviction may join a tenants' union. The same worker may instead blame immigrants, or become politically apathetic, or devote every waking hour simply to surviving. The crisis itself determines none of these outcomes. Organization and political education does.
History repeatedly demonstrates that identical material conditions can generate socialist movements, fascist movements, nationalist movements, religious revivals, or complete political collapse. Misery explains why people become dissatisfied. It does not explain what they become.e
Within sections of the revolutionary left there exists an aesthetic attraction to collapse. Every recession becomes "the final crisis." Every financial panic becomes capitalism's death throes. Every ecological disaster becomes evidence that history is accelerating toward rupture. There is understandable emotional appeal here. If one believes the existing system and everyone born into it is fundamentally irredeemable, then every failure appears as confirmation. But this perspective risks transforming human suffering into political symbolism. The bombing of a hospital is no longer primarily a tragedy. It becomes evidence. Mass layoffs become objective conditions. War becomes proof that contradictions are sharpening. The people actually experiencing these events can disappear behind theoretical categories. Marxism insists upon understanding history materially. That obligation extends to suffering itself. Real people do not experience crises as dialectical developments. They experience hunger, debt, trauma, disability, and death. If revolutionary politics loses sight of this, it risks becoming morally indifferent to precisely those whose liberation it claims to seek.
Another version of the argument claims that workers in wealthy capitalist countries possess too much comfort to become revolutionary. According to this view, declining living standards are politically necessary. Only once enough comforts disappear will resistance emerge. There is an element of truth here. Periods of expanding prosperity have often stabilized capitalist societies. Consumer credit, home ownership, welfare provision, and rising wages historically blunted class conflict. Yet the argument quickly becomes too neat. Workers in affluent countries already organize. They strike, they form unions, they resist evictions, they oppose austerity, they participate in anti-discrimination movements, they engage in tenant organizing. None of this requires absolute immiseration. Indeed, one might argue the opposite. People possessing some degree of security often have greater capacity to organize than people working three jobs merely to survive. Political participation itself requires time, energy, health, and community. The completely exhausted worker is not necessarily the most revolutionary. They may simply be exhausted.
Revolutionary debates frequently distinguish between the imperial core and the global periphery. Workers in wealthy nations undeniably benefit from unequal exchange, imperial dominance, and the extraction of value from poorer regions, although the extent and distribution of those benefits remain contested within Marxist theory. Some conclude that the decline of living standards in wealthy countries is historically unavoidable as global inequalities become harder to sustain. This may be descriptively plausible, but a descriptive claim differs from a normative one. To argue that standards of living will decline is one thing, to celebrate, encourage, and accelerate that decline is another. The left has long criticized ruling classes for treating human beings as expendable instruments of history. It should hesitate before adopting similar reasoning itself. The suffering of workers in one country does not become emancipatory simply because workers elsewhere have suffered longer. Internationalism demands solidarity, not competitive immiseration.
Perhaps the deepest problem with accelerationist thinking is its tendency toward historical automation. The assumption is "More contradiction equals more crisis, therefore more crisis equals more resistance, and more resistance equals revolution." History offers no such guarantee. Societies have endured astonishing levels of deprivation without revolutionary transformation. Others have collapsed into an even more reactionary politics. Contradictions do not possess political direction, human beings provide direction. Accelerationism attempts to resolve political frustration by embracing speed. If capitalism generates crises, perhaps those crises should intensify. If institutions are collapsing, perhaps they should collapse faster. If reform merely delays transformation, reform itself becomes counter-revolutionary. Different forms of accelerationism arrive at different conclusions. Some see technological development as the engine that ultimately undermines capitalist relations. Others argue that capitalism should be allowed or encouraged to exhaust itself through the intensification of its own contradictions. Still others, from entirely different political traditions, embrace acceleration because they believe crisis creates opportunities for transformation, emancipatory or otherwise. What unites these otherwise divergent approaches is a suspicion of stabilization. Order becomes the enemy, disorder becomes productive. Does History Have a Speed Limit?
One question accelerationism rarely answers is whether political development can actually be hurried. Capitalism already possesses extraordinary tendencies toward acceleration. Financial markets operate instantaneously, production is globally integrated, climate change advances rapidly, information circulates continuously, precarious employment expands, debt compounds, supply chains stretch across continents. The system scarcely appears in need of additional momentum. Indeed, much contemporary politics concerns managing the consequences of acceleration rather than overcoming stagnation. If capitalism already destabilizes itself at remarkable speed, the revolutionary problem may not be insufficient crisis, it may be insufficient organization capable of acting within crisis. Perhaps the central strategic divide is not between stability and crisis, but between expectation and preparation. Expectation waits for conditions. Preparation develops capacities regardless of conditions. Instead of simply interpreting crises, we must organize through them. Revolutionary movements historically succeeded not because suffering automatically generated resistance but because groups capable of transforming dissatisfaction into collective action already existed when crises arrived. Without these, crisis often produces fear and reaction instead of solidarity.
There is also a psychological attraction to believing that worsening conditions necessarily advance liberation. It transforms despair into hope, every defeat becomes secretly a victory, every setback becomes historical progress. Reality may offer no such consolation. Bad things may simply be bad. Factory closures may strengthen capital. Wars may entrench reaction. Climate disasters may destroy communities rather than radicalize them. Governments may consolidate power rather than expose their weakness. The proposition that "things have to get worse before they get better" contains an important insight and a dangerous temptation. The insight is that stable systems often reproduce themselves through relative legitimacy, and that crises can expose hidden contradictions while opening political possibilities that previously seemed impossible.
The temptation is to mistake possibility for inevitability, or worse, to interpret human suffering as intrinsically progressive. From a revolutionary working-class perspective, neither complacent reformism nor romantic collapse offers an adequate politics. Reformism assumes capitalism can indefinitely soften its contradictions. Collapse assumes those contradictions automatically generate emancipation. History suggests neither is true. Crises create openings, but those openings have to be prepared for in advance through organization. Whether those openings become revolutionary depends not on the severity of suffering alone, but on the capacity of ordinary people to build collective institutions, develop political consciousness, and act together. Bad things are not good, nor are they meaningless, they are historical moments whose political content is not predetermined. That uncertainty is precisely what makes revolution both necessary and difficult.
Don't Confuse Acceleration with Revolution
There is a recurring tendency within revolutionary politics to greet every crisis with optimism. Inflation rises, wages stagnate or fall, housing becomes unaffordable, ecological collapse accelerates, governments become increasingly reactionary, and someone inevitably declares that these are "good." Not because they are good in themselves, but because they are believed to contain the seeds of revolutionary transformation. The suffering of the present is interpreted as the midwife of a liberated future.This tendency is neither confined to the political left nor unique to the twenty-first century. Throughout the history of capitalism, socialists, anarchists, communists, as well as fascists, liberals, and conservatives have all, at different moments, imagined catastrophe as politically clarifying. The wager is simple. The contradictions of society intensify until they become unbearable, forcing people to abandon old illusions, confront reality, and take action, lawful or otherwise.
Whether this wager is correct remains one of the most difficult questions facing revolutionary politics. The phrase "things have to get worse before they get better" expresses an intuition rooted in historical materialism. If the existing order continues to satisfy enough people's immediate needs, then those people have relatively little incentive to overthrow it. Reform appears preferable to revolution. Stability reproduces consent. Capitalism is not static. It generates recurring crises. Falling profitability, unemployment, debt, environmental destruction, imperial conflict, housing shortages, and declining public services are not external accidents but recurring features of the system itself. From this perspective, worsening conditions expose capitalism's inability to meet human needs. This is not obviously irrational. Revolutions rarely emerge during periods of widespread prosperity. They tend to occur during crises.
Yet this observation immediately confronts a second one. Most crises do not produce revolution, they produce exhaustion. Misery is not consciousness. The assumption that suffering naturally radicalizes people confuses necessity with possibility. Material hardship creates grievances. It does not automatically create revolutionary consciousness. A worker facing eviction may join a tenants' union. The same worker may instead blame immigrants, or become politically apathetic, or devote every waking hour simply to surviving. The crisis itself determines none of these outcomes. Organization and political education does.
History repeatedly demonstrates that identical material conditions can generate socialist movements, fascist movements, nationalist movements, religious revivals, or complete political collapse. Misery explains why people become dissatisfied. It does not explain what they become.e

Local assemblies in villages or city districts make proposals of what to spend the planning budget on, from building schools, hospitals, roads to energy projects. Then through delegates these local proposals go to larger administrative levels and get adapted/combine into larger projects. Then these projects get approved or disapproved by a higher level of government. This happens once a year and has produced multiple 5 year plans throughout its existence.
Could this be used as a blueprint for a a real communist revolution? The problem with giving ownership of MoP to worker cooperatives is the fracturing of society's interests down to the firm (see mutualism), while organisational structures centred on the workplace tend to prioritise production over other important societal issues (see syndicalism). This encourages the maintenance of the commodity form and competition.
To reach true revolutionary ends workers ownership needs to be eventually transferred to social ownership. A planning commission organised based on the commune/society needs to have political grip over workplaces and industries. This to me seems like a viable model towards this that has been tried and tested.

Thoughts on the planned economy in Kerala?
Kerala, a state in Southern India, has a strong communist party that despite having to share state power with liberals in a capitalist government implemented a decentralised planned economy.Local assemblies in villages or city districts make proposals of what to spend the planning budget on, from building schools, hospitals, roads to energy projects. Then through delegates these local proposals go to larger administrative levels and get adapted/combine into larger projects.

I want Trump to establish a Presidential Dictatorship so the collapse of the United States will be accelerated.
Trump does not care about anything but his ego and his family's name, he is a fascist, he is a capitalist, he is the embodiment of everything wrong with America.
The Democrats need to win the 2026 midterms to take congress for any of this to happen, currently Trump has launched the largest millitary purge in US history, only selecting loyal personnel. I believe he is planning to use the millitary at some point to suspend congress if the democrats try to impeach him, or try to force him to 2 terms, EITHER WAY, we need this to happen.
If Trump were to suspend congress civil war would immediately or eventually start, im certain of this.
And also im not asking for you guys to vote democrat in 2028, if anything vote for the DSA in 2028 since they are running nationally then.
So lets get the collapse started guys

It might very well be the best possible avenue for communism in the western world. It's one of the largest partie's in Belgium and has very good polling for the next federal election, the only problem is that if they don't get a very clear majority (and thats rare for belgium) they will probably have to come into a coalition with some socdem or moderate party.
The party was also originially maoist but to not die out it just instead became a communist party.
I always thought belgium was gonna cease to exist at some point because of how divivded it is along language lines but i think finally, after however long, class struggle is uniting them together.

Sexual lust is a stain on civilization. It destroys communities, promotes selfishness and furthers the idea that human beings are worthy only insofar as they provide pleasure or “usefulness” to the other. One can clearly see the link between the normalization of sexual lust and eugenics for this reason. It also causes social instability and moral decay.
Non-sexual love is about what you give to the other person, lust is about what you mindlessly take from the other person.
So far, the only philosophers and thinkers I’ve seen who thoroughly critique human sexuality are either ancient and medieval thinkers, or modern-day right-wingers who rely on said ancient/medieval critiques. Where are all the Marxist critique of sexual lust and what a massively destructive force it is? Marxism needs to promote the idea sex is solely for the act of procreation and mutual pleasure between monogamous partners. It is because our modern society is ruled by lust that we see vast amounts of moral decay. Moral relativism is everywhere. Secularism and capitalism have destroyed any sense of virtue. Desire to take from others sexually has made these things almost impossible to fight against.
Marxism must critique sexuality and promote sexual abstinence and purity.

The essence of communism is not the nationalization of the means of production. That is a byproduct of a more fundamental change in society.
The essence of communism is the government directly controlling labor i.e. people.
>besides the point, but interesting video you should check out

A new government telling YOU to what to work on and where to work, given your capabilities and resources in the rest of society.
And this is objectively Good if the new government is Good.
This is a core redpill that is too hard to swallow for retards and normies. Those who understand need to evangelize the commie sigma grindset because the human capital for communism is very rare. That mindset is the Hive-mind. Broken people reject the hive-mind when it is an unavoidable prerequisite for communism. We will not be able to build communism with people broken and alienated by crapitalism. As crapistalism turns even worse, more and more of the entreprolecariat will gnosticpill themselves. The result is nihilism for the wealth accumulators and suicide for the rest. It will be a total dark age because human development and the divine reaching for the stars is possible only through social practice of actual vigor. All the good people are dying and returning to the pleroma. There are fewer and fewer people left to make communism work.
We will not see communism come back anytime soon because those that can do it, won't.
<revisionism, dirigism, human rights etc.
And those that will do it, will be evil.

It truly is blackpilling just how far down the drain conditions for revolution are right now.

I noticed that within much of the conservative or reactionary movement, when people's material conditions worsen, many seem to respond not by supporting efforts to improve those conditions—whether through direct action or by voting for left-wing candidates who promise economic reforms—but by directing their frustration toward immigrants or so-called "welfare queens," believing those groups are receiving unfair advantages. They often end up supporting right-wing candidates whose policies, in my view, make life more difficult for the broader public while primarily benefiting the bourgeoisie. What I struggle to understand is the mindset of wanting to make other people's lives worse simply because your own circumstances have deteriorated. I understand why they see socialism/communism to be the devil because of decades of propaganda against those systems, but wanting to hurt those who are more vulnerable than they are just seems like anti-social behavior.
This is why I don't see MAGA communism or any 'conservative/nationalist' socialism having any potential other than devolving into fascism. The people those movements are trying to appeal to have no class conscious and solidarity. Things that bind the, are class collaborationist in nature rather than built upon class struggle. Communism, be it Marxist or anarchist, is a mass movement that requires the proletariat around the world to work together to throw off their chains. And can't be hung up over conflicts between different ethnicities, nationalities, orientations and ect.

It didn't happen during the cold war but we might very well be in the times of a new revolution, and even without that, the israeli regime has the samson option where it nukes itself and its neighbors for a hellish holocaust.
Is nuclear war possible today?
Would the ruling class actually restort to nuclear armageddon to try to maintain their social class?It didn't happen during the cold war but we might very well be in the times of a new revolution, and even without that, the israeli regime has the samson option where it nukes itself and its neighbors for a hellish holocaust.

Prediction (pessimistic): The US government will be overthrown, not by "social fascist" DSA members or by "True marxist leninists" (they don't exist since they are an impossible standard for a westoid to meet) but actual fascists like patriot front or proud boys. The US government will triple down on ethno-nationalism but will recede from the world stage. "Multipolarity" will bloom but will prove to be a farce. "Free trade" will collapse and all countries will be forced to become "self sufficient". This will lead to a period of basically universal Juche style self reliance mixed with ethnonational zionist kibbutz style "socialism." Neofeudal schemes will tie neo-peasants to agriculture since countries will be forced to produce surplus, but neo-peasants will double as neo-proles through digital office jobs. Basically they will grow crops for the state but also be responsible for digital maintenance of statistics. Hyper surveillance will prevent people from hoarding or hiding what they produce. Climate change will make everything harder to grow, the end of free trade will mean that all countries become isolationist and produce for themselves, and ethnonationalism and hyper surveillance will create a self reliant neofeudal national socialist dystopia in each country with its own characteristics. Each country will become an open air fallout vault. Transhumanism and gene editing will result in speciation of humans into several new sub species meant to specialize. Mind altering substances and technology will be used to enforce obedience, and transform pain into pleasure. This will entrench artificial castes and turn life into a hell disguised as heaven.

And with that, the Right Wing ideology has captured the government of everything single South America country, ironically, on the leftern side of the continent.
The only technical standout is Fujimori in Peru, granted she is 40k votes ahead and mathematically locked in, unless the recount reshapes the race entire in the direction of the left, which is mathematically unlikely.

The alt-right won
In 2017 when Jason Kessler launched the biggest white nationalist rally in the US in a very long time, with 1,500 people attending, it got violently interrupted by counterprotests. Afterwards, the Daily Stormer got kicked from its hosting and didn't find a stable host until 6 months later in February 2018 when they settled with Eranet and Bitmitigate. In 2017, the alt-right was lead by Richard Spencer. Lots has changed since, but in the end, it didn't kill the fringe right it only slowed down their progress by a few years. In 2017, the percent of neo-nazis in America was 9% but alt-right was 10%. In 2021, that number grew after the January 6 protests. More people started supporting the rioters. But yet while the alt-right did die off after the Atomwaffen-Satan drama in early 2018 after that Kiwi Farms thread was created and somebody took screenshots from the BowlPatrol discord server, and the Ricky Vaughn drama that would happen later over TRS 504um. In 2018, so much happened. First the cuckboxing, then Alex Jones getting banned from YouTube. Google rolled out its biggest ever crackdown on "extremist content" in August 2017 after Charlottesville with Jared Taylor's video "race differences in intelligence" getting put in a limited state first. But recently, people have simply adapted to Google's algorithm and YouTube is starting to look a lot like it did in 2016 during the election cycle before the crackdowns. Arthur Kwon-Lee, Jiang Xueqin, and many others are talking openly about the J00s, and comment sections simply use words that don't trigger the algorithm. It's like Google simply abandoned their initial censorship. Videos no longer get put in limited states like they used to, and more alt-right content is flourishing. Antifa? I haven't heard from them in a while. You would expect heavier resistance against ICE, but yet that was reserved mostly for the early Trump presidency. I don't hear from them no more hardly. There are #NoKings protests, but the left is nowhere near as radical as they used to be back in the 2010s. I think the second Trump administration basically cracked down on all of them.

White Panther Party
What are your thoughts on them? Here was their 10 point platform:- Full endorsement and support of Black Panther Party’s 10-Point Program.
- Total assault on the culture by any means necessary, including rock ’n’ roll, dope and fucking in the streets.
- Free exchange of energy and materials — we demand the end of money!
- Free food, clothes, housing, dope, music, bodies, medical care — everything free for everybody!
- Free access to information media — free the technology from the greed creeps!
- Free time and space for all humans — dissolve all unnatural boundaries.
- Free all schools and all structures from corporate rule — turn the buildings over to the people at once!
- Free all prisoners everywhere — they are our brothers.
- Free all soldiers at once — no more conscripted armies.
- Free the people from their “leaders” — leaders suck — all power to all the people! Freedom means free everyone!

Both Mao and Bordiga were mostly correct in their views and positions, but for their respective material and social conditions they were working within. Semi-feudal conditions for Mao, capitalist-imperialist conditions for Bordiga.
Dogmatic ML: "We need a vote for progress and safeguard our democracy" (Togliatti? Starmer? Mélenchon? Harris?) Jump through hoops to safeguard bourgeois dictatorship in the west some more, ML. That is the role which you have picked for yourself. Really give it a bright red, bleeding heart radical liberal veneer!
Trend victim MLs have tried to mechanically copy-pasting semi-feudal tactics to industrialized, proletarian-majority, imperialist-capitalist countries for a century. "Too bad" their demise always has some self-defeating aspect to it, predicted by the Italian Left (or more descriptively: internationalist Leninists) decades in advance.
>But they were said to be irrelevant! At least that's what our "ML", then "Soviet-alligned", then "eurocom" leaders told us, and they headed a parliamentary party with a lot of members and voters, so they must've known what they were talking about!…right?…
There, there!
Hence internationalist Leninist tactics are not applied! Hence Lenin's revolutionary tactical invariance leading up to the key lesson for success is obscured, papered over – all to focus on the set of retreats, mistakes, fallacious tactics that led in a circle or self-obliteration. That is the "Leninism" of the western ML.

Two great Leninists: Mao & Bordiga
"Controversial" opinion incoming, apparently:Both Mao and Bordiga were mostly correct in their views and positions, but for their respective material and social conditions they were working within. Semi-feudal conditions for Mao, capitalist-imperialist conditions for Bordiga.
Dogmatic ML: "We need a vote for progress and safeguard our democracy" (Togliatti? Starmer? Mélenchon? Harris?) Jump through hoops to safeguard bourgeois dictatorship in the west some more, ML. That is the role which you have picked for yourself. Really give it a bright red, bleeding heart radical liberal veneer!
Trend victim MLs have tried to mechanically copy-pasting semi-feudal tactics to industrialized, proletarian-majority, imperialist-capitalist countries for a century. "Too bad" their demise always has some self-defeating aspect to it, predicted by the Italian Left (or more descriptively: internationalist Leninists) decades in advance.
>But they were said to be irrelevant! At least that's what our "ML", then "Soviet-alligned", then "eurocom" leaders told us, and they headed a parliamentary party with a lot of members and voters, so they must've known what they were talking about!…right?…
There, there!
Hence internationalist Leninist tactics are not applied! Hence Lenin's revolutionary tactical invariance leading up to the key lesson for success is obscured, papered over – all to focus on the set of retreats, mistakes, fallacious tactics that led in a circle or self-obliteration. That is the "Leninism" of the western ML.

A characteristic of history is the inevitable conflict between the ruling class and the exploited class. In this struggle, three great tactics of the proletarian movement crystallized, which can serve us as a guide. We will define the vanguard organization and the popular front.
The purpose of this post is to present the main characteristics of these tactics, to offer examples throughout history, and finally to begin investigating the fundamental question of ideology in organization.
As Marxists, we proceed from the axiom that the history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles. Because we are materialists and acknowledge the scientific method in the social sciences as well, we also have scientific abstraction at our disposal. Therefore, throughout this exposition we will use the following glossary.

Sammy Weaver is a hero and Marshal Degan is rotting in Hell. I would love to find his tombstone and fuck a prostitute over it, have her piss on it, then I'll ejaculate on it and rub my dick all over William Degan's funeral memorial. Fuck that dead cocksucker.
>WASHINGTON — Kevin Harris, who was severely wounded three years ago in a bloody siege at Ruby Ridge, Ida., disputed on Tuesday crucial elements of the government’s account of the incident, including who fired the first shot.
>Harris strongly denied to the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on terrorism that he and his friend Randy Weaver–whose cabin had been staked out by federal agents–had sought to ambush marshals on Aug. 21, 1992. The agents were trying to arrest Weaver for failing to appear in court on weapon charges.
>His voice cracking as he struggled to suppress sobs, Harris graphically described the shooting of Weaver’s 14-year-old son, Sammy, and the killing of Weaver’s wife, Vicki, by an FBI sniper on the following day, as she stood hidden by the cabin door.
>“I would not have been anywhere near those woods if I had known that all those men with assault rifles and a silenced submachine gun . . . were out there,” Harris said. “We were just walking along the trail . . . , making a perfect target of ourselves.”
>Weaver thought that there might be a deer or other game nearby.
>As he and Sammy reached the Y, Harris said, Striker neared a man wearing camouflage clothing and the dog seemed to lunge for the man’s hands. The dog then moved away from the man, circling, and “suddenly the dog was shot,” Harris said. Harris did not say where Randy Weaver was at this point.
>Sammy then began to raise his weapon and said, “You shot my dog, you son of a bitch,” Harris testified. Harris said that he headed for cover. He said that was the last time he saw Sammy alive. “I saw smoke puffs and brass shell casings flying in the air down in the woods below the trail. I assumed Sam was shooting and that someone was shooting back at him, but I didn’t actually see Sam shoot.”
>Harris said that after he found cover and crouched down, shots were still being fired, “and so I fired once into the brush.”
>Under questioning by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), the subcommittee chairman, Harris said that he had not fired at the man in camouflage. “I was headed for cover. There was shooting all around me. It looked like, you know, they were just bombarding us with shots, and I just fired into the brush.”
>But under questioning by several senators, Harris acknowledged that he assumed his shot had killed Degan. Harris and Weaver were subsequently acquitted of murdering Degan.
>Specter cited conflicting testimony from Harris and Deputy Marshal Larry T. Cooper and said that the senators are considering recalling Cooper. Cooper told the panel on Sept. 15 that he had yelled at Harris, “Back off–U.S. marshals,” before the dog was shot. Harris, Cooper said, had fired from the hip, hitting Degan immediately after Degan called out: “Stop, U.S. marshals.”
>Harris told the hearing that he heard neither agent’s warning when Cooper said they were made.
>In another possible conflict, Jeffrey Howard, former principal associate deputy attorney general, testified that he had been told on Aug. 22, 1992, by an FBI official that Mrs. Weaver had been heard “wailing that her son had been shot, had been murdered.” FBI witnesses said they first learned of Sammy Weaver’s death after the body was discovered at least a day and a half later.
>The difference could be important because knowing Weaver’s son had been killed could have influenced how the FBI handled the siege. Howard, however, said that the FBI testimony may simply mean that the bureau did not confirm Sammy Weaver’s death on Aug. 22.
>With the hearings adjourned for two weeks, when FBI Director Louis J. Freeh is expected to testify, the panel’s ranking Democrat, Sen. Herbert Kohl of Wisconsin, made clear that he has already come to some conclusions.
>“Ruby Ridge marks a sad chapter in the FBI’s history,” he said, in beginning his questioning of Harris. “Although the FBI has been essentially unrepentant, we are beginning to get a clear picture of the errors they made at Ruby Ridge.”
>Kohl accused the FBI of “playing a game of duck and cover. The world’s greatest investigative agency cannot figure out who drafted and approved” permissive shooting rules “written in part in its own headquarters.”
>“It has consistently ignored or evaded the findings of outside, independent reviewers in favor of FBI-generated reports that scapegoat some and absolve everyone else,” Kohl said.
>Nevertheless, Kohl said, “Randy Weaver really has to shoulder much of the responsibility for what happened” at Ruby Ridge. “He hid from the law, obsessed with his own irrational fears about the government. And he put a gun in the hand of his 14-year-old son, Sammy, and filled Sammy’s head with extreme rhetoric about law enforcement officers.”

I feel like I don’t even need to go through the atrocities but I mean the USA has directly caused genocides on more continents than they have not… Has any tribe, nation, kingdom, soviet, whatever the fuck term you want to use EVER caused as much real physical harm as the great Satan, America?Britain?

Burnham Allies Roll Back on Claim He Might Axe Palantir’s NHS Contract
Unnamed allies of Andy Burnham have briefed journalists that he is thinking of cancelling spytech firm Palantir’s £330m contract with the NHS – only for other anonymous sources to roll back on the claim. The claim, published by the Telegraph on Thursday, suggests Burnham may be trying to win back support from Labour voters fleeing to the Greens, whose leader Zack Polanski has staunchly opposed the US firm’s involvement in Britain’s public services.

He accused the Iran-aligned movement of seeking to export economic hardships it has caused and to deflect from domestic political and social challenges.

New report: RSF training camps, supply routes in Libya fuelling Sudan’s war — ‘What we’ve uncovered is really just the tip of the iceberg’
The United Arab Emirates is widely accused of playing a key role in sustaining Sudan’s civil war. But until now, little has been known about how that support is channelled through neighbouring countries. Lighthouse Reports director Klaas van Dijken explains how a months-long investigation uncovered evidence of a network of RSF training camps in eastern Libya, the role of the UAE in sustaining the war in Sudan, and why he believes international pressure is urgently needed.

Once a source of national pride, Cuba’s healthcare system declines as energy shortages deepen crisis
Cuba’s once-vaunted system of free universal healthcare has deteriorated sharply. The crisis, say analysts, has been compounded by fuel shortages they attribute to tightened U.S. sanctions on the island’s energy sector, worsening an economy that had already been struggling for years. The Trump administration is pressuring Cuba’s socialist government to implement major economic reforms and change its way of governance in return for a lifting of sanctions.

First they attempt to capture Ukraine and that fails horribly in every way possible, so now the nuclear giant is attempting to start war with the NATO union. I know there are people who like Russia here, but saying that they accomplished their day 1 objectives is pure cope. They first tried to send a "special military operation" to oust the president and create a pro-Moscow government in Kyiv. Lost. Then they tried to build a land bridge between Donbas and Crimea through Odesa, then capture Moldova to build a land bridge so they seize the rest of Ukraine going northward. They STILL haven't even completely taken Donbas. They got deeply entrenched in hardcore urban combat in Mariupol for 85 days, and even when they had the advantage and all the cannon fodder in the world, they still couldn't completely crush resistance in the city and their leaders are free to this day to kill more Russians. As a result of the holdup, they redeployed troops to Kherson and lost there as a result. Ukraine still has Black Sea access after they won Mykolaiv, Russia lost a major naval destroyer - the Moskva, using a cheap Bayraktar and two Neptune subsonic ship missiles after it ignited the magazine! What the fuck?! Now it's a frozen conflict. So, instead of dying on that hill, Russia wants WW3.

Laws, religion, governments, wars, technology and farming destroyed us as a species
Think about it. Humans have been around for 300,000 years and didn't have code of law until the last 3,800 during the Bronze Age when Hammurabi ruled Mesopotamia. Before that, humans were animals just like any other. Before the farming revolution of the neolithic period 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, we were all hunter-gatherers. The moment we switched from stones to metal was the moment humanity messed up. When we were cave and hut dwellers, our world was way different. Humans are going outside of their very nature to enslave itself, basically. Laws, religions, all of these are forms of control. We need to stop pretending we are above other animals. We are destroying the world with our bullshit.

The court's rapporteur-general considered the conference's cancellation to have been "disproportionate", recalling that French law provides a high degree of protection for academic freedom and that the Collège de France administration, if it believed the conference posed "a particular kind of risk", could have proceeded with security arrangements that would have allowed it to take place, rather than cancelling it outright.

ICC prosecutors shelved RSF arrest warrant as Sudan atrocities mounted
According to numerous sources and court documents, the office of the prosecutor (OTP) has decided not to proceed with an application for an arrest warrant against a member of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which Prosecutor Karim Khan told judges in January last year he intended to file imminently. The application concerned alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in West Darfur since April 2023.

Milei abolishes the Interior Ministry, expanding Santilli's role ahead of Congress talks
Argentina's government abolished the Interior Ministry and transferred its functions to the cabinet chief's office, headed by Diego Santilli, through an emergency decree published on Thursday in the Official Gazette. The measure places the political relationship with governors, provinces, municipalities, the City of Buenos Aires and Congress under the coordinating minister's remit, along with powers over the electoral system and political parties. With the change, the national cabinet is reduced to eight ministries.

Humanitarian crisis worsens in Venezuela, as botched earthquake rescue phase winds down
More than a week after the disaster, international search-and-rescue contingents have begun winding down operations, citing the closing of the “critical survival window.” The rescue of a 43-year-old man pulled alive from a collapsed seven-story building in Catia La Mar, after eight days trapped beneath it, is being used as a last “hurrah” as international rescue teams leave. Families and neighbors across the disaster zone, however, continue digging through debris by hand to find the bodies of their loved ones. Despite the courageous work of rescue teams, the whole operation has been undermined by lack of equipment and the collapsed healthcare system.

ICC prosecutors shelved RSF arrest warrant as Sudan atrocities mounted
According to numerous sources and court documents, the office of the prosecutor (OTP) has decided not to proceed with an application for an arrest warrant against a member of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which Prosecutor Karim Khan told judges in January last year he intended to file imminently. The application concerned alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in West Darfur since April 2023.

At least 16 arrested as Niger expands anti-LGBTQ measures
According to the official gazette dated March 27, same-sex sexual relations are now punishable by prison sentences ranging from five to 10 years, alongside fines of between 10 million and 100 million CFA francs (approximately $18,000 to $180,000). The legislation goes further by prescribing prison terms of 10 to 20 years for individuals found to be in same-sex marriages. It also targets advocacy groups, with organisations supporting LGBTQ rights facing fines of between 50 million and 500 million CFA francs if found to be operating in the country.

Milei abolishes the Interior Ministry, expanding Santilli's role ahead of Congress talks
Argentina's government abolished the Interior Ministry and transferred its functions to the cabinet chief's office, headed by Diego Santilli, through an emergency decree published on Thursday in the Official Gazette. The measure places the political relationship with governors, provinces, municipalities, the City of Buenos Aires and Congress under the coordinating minister's remit, along with powers over the electoral system and political parties. With the change, the national cabinet is reduced to eight ministries.

Mexico City tightens security and caps crowds for Mexico-England match after 4 deaths

Humanitarian crisis worsens in Venezuela, as botched earthquake rescue phase winds down
More than a week after the disaster, international search-and-rescue contingents have begun winding down operations, citing the closing of the “critical survival window.” The rescue of a 43-year-old man pulled alive from a collapsed seven-story building in Catia La Mar, after eight days trapped beneath it, is being used as a last “hurrah” as international rescue teams leave. Families and neighbors across the disaster zone, however, continue digging through debris by hand to find the bodies of their loved ones. Despite the courageous work of rescue teams, the whole operation has been undermined by lack of equipment and the collapsed healthcare system.

It seems to me that By all means he is an orthodox marxist and his writings perfectly fine. And his criticisms of the USSR seem non-objectionable to most people (Totalitarianism is bad, More party discourse needed, More worker democracy, etc.)
Why is he so hated among many marxist circles? Hate doesn't describe it, He is thoroughly despised.
I'm all ears. and will respond if I have time.
Why was Trotsky bad?

<Some narratives* in international development hold that ending poverty and achieving good lives for all will require every country to reach the levels of GDP per capita that currently characterise high-income countries.
<However, this would require increasing total global output and resource use several times over, dramatically exacerbating ecological breakdown.
<Furthermore, universal convergence along these lines is unlikely within the imperialist structure of the existing world economy.
<Here we demonstrate that this dilemma can be resolved with a different approach, rooted in recent needs-based analyses of poverty and development.
<Strategies for development should not pursue capitalist growth and increased aggregate production as such, but should rather increase the specific forms of production that are necessary to improve capabilities and meet human needs at a high standard, while ensuring universal access to key goods and services through public provisioning and decommodification.
<At the same time, in high-income countries**, less-necessary production should be scaled down to enable faster decarbonization and to help bring resource use back within planetary boundaries.
<With this approach, good lives can be achieved for all without requiring large increases in total global throughput and output.==
<Provisioning decent living standards (DLS) for 8.5 billion people would require only 30% of current global resource and energy use, leaving a substantial surplus for additional consumption, public luxury, scientific advancement, and other social investments.
<Such a future requires planning to provision public services, to deploy efficient technology, and to build sovereign industrial capacity in the global South.
* i.e. liberal, third-worldist, in general unscientific, utopian or anti-communist narratives

In short,
1) abolish the parasite imperialist state, establish a dotp and end overproduction
2) centrally advance ecological transition and transfer technologies to the global south
3) usher in a new communist age
The first world is not overconsuming
The global economy is overproducing in general. Abolishing overproduction would not lead to drop in living standards, since with planning and rationing we can ensure decent living standards for 8.5 billion people using 30% of current production, and use the remaining surplus for luxury, free time, and science.<Some narratives* in international development hold that ending poverty and achieving good lives for all will require every country to reach the levels of GDP per capita that currently characterise high-income countries.

A peasant, a shepherd, a simple worker from Donbass, he became the leader of the most powerful country in the world. Was such a thing possible under capitalism?
"I learned to count to 30, and my father decided that learning was enough for me," Khrushchev recalled. "All you need is to learn to count money, and you'll never have more than thirty rubles anyway. My father dreamed of saving up, returning to the village, and buying a horse to grow enough potatoes and cabbage to feed the family. But we never got a horse. My parents cherished this dream even after 1908, when we finally moved to Yuzovka. There, my father worked in the mines, my mother washed clothes, and I cleaned steam boilers."

Technologies built around mobile systems; efficient use of clay, cement, and steel metals; decentralized utility and logistics systems; a lot of work related to solar power which im happy for; some oddly specific technological developments surrounding armoured cars, surveillance, and border security etc.
From what I infer a lot of this behaviour is driven organically by the geographic conditions of the continent in general. Many of the resources on the continent are stretched across vast distances, sparse/scarce in supplies, and broken up by unusually poor terrain. This often means that any technological developments made are unusually way more specific, pragmatic, and efficient in use for immediate and existing problems compared to tech made outside of it where figures or promises on features surrounding what the tech can do. Sometimes, this does *alot* to change how people approach life. It’s only recently that a lot of changes were made so that desert sands and earth could be used conventionally at scale to produce modular construction kit—this is huge on construction in general since it offers a way to build on the scale that china did *without causing the same level of ecological destruction*.
Geographic influences on technological development
I think it’s interesting to observe the pattern of technological development in Africa compared to NATO. A lot of what’s being made there is surprisingly specific, pragmatic, and efficient compared to many new western technologies that often serve as solutions to problems western companies make.Technologies built around mobile systems; efficient use of clay, cement, and steel metals; decentralized utility and logistics systems; a lot of work related to solar power which im happy for; some oddly specific technological developments surrounding armoured cars, surveillance, and border security etc.

He said that Mr de la Espriella should clarify whether he is a US “agent” because, as a criminal defence lawyer, he had defended a former paramilitary leader who was an informant for the US Drug Enforcement Administration. Mr Cepeda also said that the president-elect should desist from any efforts to extradite to the US outgoing President Gustavo Petro, who federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have said they are investigating for potential ties to drug traffickers.

Military sources told The New Arab that RSF units had withdrawn from positions in West Kordofan and moved west towards Darfur following sustained advances by the Sudanese army and the Joint Force of armed movements allied with it on the western front. According to the sources, the army destroyed the RSF's forward defensive positions northeast of El Geneina on Tuesday and Wednesday, advancing to within less than 70 kilometres of the city after securing control of the strategic Jebel Moon area.

Algeria heads to legislative polls amid record-low turnout fear
The outgoing parliament, elected in 2021, recorded a turnout of just 23 percent, the lowest in any legislative election since independence in 1962. That vote followed the Hirak protests that began in 2019 and led to the resignation of former President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, ushering in Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s presidency. Since then, observers say, a tightening political and civic space has further eroded confidence in formal politics.

ANC’s Continental Compact to overhaul Africa’s migration crisis
“The compact asks African states, acting together through the African Union and supported by the United Nations, to move from a fragmented and reactive posture to a coherent framework of binding commitments, closing the gaps in our legal architecture through universal accession to the refugee, migrant worker, and statelessness conventions and the coming into force of the 2018 African Union free movement protocol. Building the operational machinery the continent has long lacked – from an African refugee responsibility allocation mechanism to a continental migration data platform and an orderly prisoner repatriation protocol – while establishing a continental responsibility-sharing framework and fund so that receiving states no longer carry the burden alone.”

The most ridiculous part was that the supposed divide between the Dirtbag Left and the DSA left barely existed. They agreed on healthcare, labor, foreign policy, housing, policing and virtually every other major issue. The defining ideological conflict of the era was essentially whether you were allowed to make edgy 90's raunch comedy jokes on podcasts. Entire feuds and endless Twitter meltdowns emerged from a disagreement that amounted to "can you say slurs ironically?"
The confidence was incredible, leftist genuinely talked as if DSA-aligned leadership of every major American city was inevitable, as if Bernie was one good news cycle away from the White House and as if a handful of podcasts by stand up comedians had somehow cracked the code of political history.
In retrospect, it all seems absurd. There was never a realistic path to any of it. The movement's grandest ambitions had essentially zero chance of materializing.
Then reality intervened. Bernie lost, The post-COVID world arrivedm Housing crises worsened, Migration became politically explosive, Major wars returnedm China didn't democratize and instead looked increasingly capable of navigating long-term crises without becoming a Western liberal democracy and the assumptions underlying the entire scene collapsed one by one.
A lot of the old supporters ended up as tankies. A smaller but noticeable number drifted toward the far right. Sometimes they somehow became both at once. The aesthetic transformation is almost as funny as the political one, the old Dirtbag Left revolved around schlubby podcasters making jokes about being ironically gay, the people who inherited its audience are often obsessed with MMA, military history, geopolitical realism and posting shirtless workout photos. The few remaining loyalists seem to have finally realized that their politics were never meaningfully different from the DSA's in the first place and appear perfectly content settling into the role of ordinary progressive liberals.
What a strange, stupid little farce that was.

Turkey eases job rules for 1M+ Syrians under temporary protection
Turkey introduced a work permit requirement for Syrians under temporary protection in 2016. Under the initial rules, employers were allowed to hire one Syrian worker for every 10 Turkish employees, a quota that was later eased to one Syrian worker for every five Turkish employees. Refugee rights groups have long said that work permit requirements prompted widespread informal employment among Syrians, many of whom work in sectors such as agriculture, textiles, construction, manufacturing and services.

Because the owning class has historically enclosed the means of production as private property, the worker cannot survive independently. They are physically forced to approach the capitalist to secure the means of their own survival.
2. The Contract is Structural Extortion
<Because the worker's alternative to employment is homelessness and starvation (structural coercion), the negotiation is absolutely asymmetrical. The capitalist dictates the terms: "I will allow you access to my tools to earn your survival, but only if you surrender a significant portion of the value you generate to me." The worker must comply. This is not a voluntary transaction; it is extortion backed by biological necessity.
3. Surplus is a "Survival Tax
<Regardless of how prices are set on the market, the mathematical difference between the revenue the worker's output generates and the wage they receive is siphoned by the owner. This surplus is not a legitimate reward for "time preference" or "risk," as mainstream economics insists. It is a survival tax, a toll the worker pays for the right to remain alive. The capitalist can collect this tax exclusively because state violence (police and property laws) protects their monopoly over the means of production.
Materialist Conclusion
<Surplus extraction is a pure metric of power. It calculates exactly how much material wealth the owning class can squeeze from the producing class using the structural threat of starvation, stopping just short of triggering mass death or armed revolt. This extraction mechanism operates flawlessly regardless of whether economic value is measured objectively or subjectively.
LTV is a Unnecessary part of Marxist Theory
The following analysis of structural coercion and surplus extraction holds entirely true even if the classical Labor Theory of Value (LTV) is mathematically false. Whether the ultimate price of a commodity is determined by socially necessary labor time or subjective marginal utility, the physical reality of the power dynamic remains unchanged. Surplus extraction is a function of material leverage, not the metaphysical origin of economic value.1. Ownership is a Survival Bottleneck

Stalin was a bloodthirsty counterrevolutionary dictator who ruined the legacy of socialism and led to the downfall of the USSR. "Socialism in one country" goes strictly against basic Marxist doctrine that socialism needs an international foundation. The show trials and purges were injust sate-sanctioned assassinations of actual old bolshevik revolutionaries, completely gutting any notion of actual socialism in the USSR. The collapse of the USSR was the natural endpoint of a bureaucratic caste that had long since abandoned any connection to the international working class.

Trump in 2023 made a promise to build 13 new cities where there would be near-zero environmental or labor regulations, effectively giving corporations their own fiefdoms.
This project as of 2026 has been stalled and instead trump is obsessed with his ballroom.

Communists would do better if they realised that Gorbachev wasn't a traitor. He was a comically committed Leninist and he got most of his worst ideas (like basically every move to empower the different nations of the USSR, which would ultimately lead to them all leaving, or his economic policies, which were inspired by the NEP) from reading Lenin. He destroyed the USSR not because he saw the light of neoliberalism and converted, but because he believed he could recover its "true" origins before it became corrupted and stagnant.
This doesn't tell us anything about Lenin, who had been dead for decades, but it does tell you where LARPing as Lenin and treating Lenin like the biblical truth will take you. You have to understand the situation as it actually exists in the here and now, not by shoehorning it in to the texts of long dead heroes. Your analyses should start from reality and work towards useful predictions, rather than starting from dogma and working towards reconciling it with reality.
Gorbachev's failure is substantially worse in light of his loyalty to the cause.

According to SOHR sources, tense calm has been prevailing in the village since morning, after the withdrawal of Israeli forces from positions they had been stationed at Al-Moghor hill. Yesterday, Israeli forces advanced into those positions and established several tents, amid public rejection and movements by the region’s residents. Residents of Abiden Village later intercepted the Israeli patrols and threw stones on them, while several young men closed the road between Jamalah and Abiden Village by placing stones on the road.

Syrian parliament set to announce Sharaa's pick of 70 MPs, amid hopes for greater representation
The appointment of the 70 MPs comes after the president, in March 2025, signed a constitutional declaration stating there would be a five-year transitional period, with a 210-member parliament where he directly appoints one-third of the members. The rest are chosen indirectly through electoral committees.

The U.N. has said it fired nine UNRWA staff who may have been involved in the October 2023 attack, which killed about 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals. A Hamas commander in Lebanon, killed in September by Israel, was also found to have had a UNRWA job. The U.N. has disputed links with Hamas and vowed to investigate all accusations.

THOUSANDS of demonstrators gathered in parts of South Africa yesterday to protest against migrants living in the country without documentation, in the biggest such action since violence over the issue broke in 2008.

Police mobilized to break picket lines in 6-week Ontario community services workers’ strike
After the incident, OPSEU President JP Hornick told reporters, “What we’re seeing across the province is that some of these so-called replacement workers, I call them scabs, are not actually licensed appropriately. They don’t have relationships with the clients. We’ve seen agencies up here like they’ve been moving people into buildings that are meant for offices but now are being used to house clients. It’s actually disgusting and immoral.”

The open wounds of Guatemala’s civil war: 68 victims of genocide identified
The remains of the victims, most of them men, had been kept in small wooden coffins, while others were stored in transparent plastic bags, stacked inside a small vault. They had remained there for 20 years until the two organizations, frustrated by the state’s failure to fulfill its promises, sought international assistance and, with support from relatives, managed to build individual burial niches.

Communist Party of Austria wins consecutive term in country’s second-largest city
According to early results, the KPÖ secured 35.6% of the vote – an increase of nearly 7 percentage points from 2021.

EU Court Says Private Jets Now Count As ‘Green’ Investments
The court argued that the 2023 ruling was made with a number of errors, including that other modes of transport couldn’t necessarily be seen as low-carbon alternatives as they “lack the flexibility and speed” of private jets. Emissions of private jets related to the operation of aircraft, the court added, not to how they are manufactured, and the European Commission had failed to take into account that private jets could use sustainable fuel.

Both countries downgraded diplomatic and trade ties, closed their main land border crossing and revoked visas for each other’s nationals. The tensions later escalated into tit-for-tat missile strikes in May 2025 before a ceasefire was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. Relations have remained frozen since.

Hundreds were injured. One cop later died after being maced only to die of an unrelated cause sometime later. A bunch of obese fat Trumptards stormed the rotunda with Confederate flags.

Allowing free speech everywhere is good because it keeps Leftists honest and effective. Up until a few years ago, heavy censorship in social media and universities protected Leftists from any pushback which resulted in the creation of extremely retarded and divisive Leftist identity politics. This was deliberately done to ensure the left remained retarded and ineffective.
Now, the Right-wing is slowly being allowed to speak more openly and freely because censorship is not effective in completely silencing them and because there was too much pushback among the Right. So the pressure valve is slowly being released. Events like Musk acquiring Xitter and cancel culture weakening and wokism becoming unpopular even among libs are examples of this.
The ruling class is not afraid of the Right being able to speak their mind, what they are actually afraid is Right-wing ideas and free speech forcing the left to abandon retarded ideologies and beliefs and sharpening their ideological and political outlook to become more rational, and therefore more effective.
This is the missing ingredient that was available in the past and not available until recently. All successful revolutions in the past happened in the context of a heavily right-wing society where the Left had to be extremely smart, rational and hardworking.

This is important because Davis is a monster who has been far WORSE than Epstein and is a much bigger and more sinister criminal
Davis is one of the most powerful men in the music industry, and there's been rumours for years that he's has been involved in loads of shady shit like running Epstein-like sex trafficking rings in the music industry since the 1970s. It is a known fact Davis was involved in one of the biggest payola scandals in music industry history. He is also known to commit tax fraud/evasion. Plus there is a huge number of musicians whose deaths he was certainly involved in (Janis Joplin, Donny Hathaway, Phyllis Hyman, Luther Vandros, Aaliyah, Left Eye, Whitney Houston, Angie Stone and even Prince). Some say he has CIA connections. Yet he hasn't been charged with anything
Davis buckbroke Diddy when Diddy first entered the music industry. But it gets deeper. Clive Davis is a member of the Study Group (Mega Group), a secretive inner circle of powerful Jewish billionaires. This same organization funded Jeffrey Epstein and gave him his elite connections. We know Epstein was a Mossad agent who was getting blackmail material on the rich and powerful so they’d keep making pro-Israel policies. There is no doubt Clive Davis was absolutely using Diddy to get blackmail material on rappers and pop stars so that they’d stay in-line identical to Epstein. And the Study Group was behind it all.
Davis is also a gigantic Zionist and owns a school at NYU (where criticizing Zionism is against university policy).
Given all this, will Davis finally be exposed on his deathbed?

When we deal with matters of the economy, it’s important to stay grounded in very real world terms and not fall for the abstractions the wealthy propagandize people with. These are systems of metabolizing the labor of everyone in society and then proportioning goods accordingly. Everyday there is work that has to get done to maintain civilization, and “the economy” describes how we incentivize (or more crudely, reward) doing that work. The control and production of everything takes labor, and the biggest issues with society stem from our considering property or ownership of stock as a means of financial gain in of itself over labor. In a preferable society with equal access to education and healthcare and equal rights for all, those capable of doing work should still be made to. There simply is no society without that economic work incentive, and ours is now being destroyed because the incentive is switching to trading stocks and speculating on others businesses instead of putting effort in to produce or maintain anything. I think these best ways to distribute these goods is for a wage system that distributes a currency exchangeable for goods and services at a market rate. Its a fundamentally democratizing force that should be regulated and limited in certain aspects, but that should not be abolished in favor of anything else, as the rich are trying to do now. I support some economic inequality enough to maintain a petit bourgeoisie, I would even say I’m against a UBI.
The reason i don’t identify as a communist is because I see them as abandoning this distributive system in favor of a more hierarchical approach. In a world without currency, you would either have to rigidly control distribution or provide a civilization so materially liberal I don’t think human beings could uncorruptibly function without abusing the systems of social benefit to an unsustainable degree. This is a monopoly of the state and even a state that is democratically controlled should not wield such power in my opinion.
The difference between capitalism and socialism is that capitalism doesn’t just have a free market, but as our current neoliberal system extols, has businesses controlled by centralized power and authority rested in bourgeois, old money families. These people are given the reigns of power over their own little fiefdoms, given essentially no oversight or real threat of punishment, and even those that work their way into that position wield that power as an authoritarian in an authoritarian system. Even in a system where they were adequately policed, single individuals with power over others occupations and livelihoods should not wield such power in my opinion.
Socialism is turning these authoritarian systems inward and forcing major companies to become worker cooperatives. I support some direct state intervention in the economy, if certain industries prove necessary, but government operation of businesses should not be the rule but the exception. The rest of the economy should either consist of local businesses with minimum employees, or of large, internationally functioning worker cooperatives where every employee has a share in the leadership of their company.
I’m much more of a history nerd than a theory buff, so excuse inaccuracies, but this is my worldview about as best I can write it, I hope it’s worth the short read.
And death to all those who stand in the way of freedom for the working people.

I support some economic inequality enough to maintain a petit bourgeoisie, I would even say I’m against a UBI.
The reason i don’t identify as a communist is because I see them as abandoning this distributive system in favor of a more hierarchical approach. In a world without currency, you would either have to rigidly control distribution or provide a civilization so materially liberal I don’t think human beings could uncorruptibly function without abusing the systems of social benefit to an unsustainable degree. This is a monopoly of the state and even a state that is democratically controlled should not wield such power in my opinion.
The difference between capitalism and socialism is that capitalism doesn’t just have a free market, but as our current neoliberal system extols, has businesses controlled by centralized power and authority rested in bourgeois, old money families. These people are given the reigns of power over their own little fiefdoms, given essentially no oversight or real threat of punishment, and even those that work their way into that position wield that power as an authoritarian in an authoritarian system. Even in a system where they were adequately policed, single individuals with power over others occupations and livelihoods should not wield such power in my opinion.
Socialism is turning these authoritarian systems inward and forcing major companies to become worker cooperatives. I support some direct state intervention in the economy, if certain industries prove necessary, but government operation of businesses should not be the rule but the exception. The rest of the economy should either consist of local businesses with minimum employees, or of large, internationally functioning worker cooperatives where every employee has a share in the leadership of their company.
I’m much more of a history nerd than a theory buff, so excuse inaccuracies, but this is my worldview about as best I can write it, I hope it’s worth the short read.
And death to all those who stand in the way of freedom for the working people.

Adorni has been accused of illicit enrichment due to expenses that do not appear to match his income. He has received criticism for a number of personal trips he has taken with his family, including a first-class holiday to Aruba over the Christmas period, and a private jet flight to Uruguay during Carnival season. Adorni has said that he built his wealth before entering government and that all trips he has taken with his family were paid for with private funds.

Colombia’s right pushes ‘gunpoint vote’ narrative, data contradict it
Even before the preliminary vote count from the first round on May 31 had been completed, a table began circulating on social media showing results in municipalities with extreme risk from armed groups, linking them to Cepeda, the candidate from the Historic Pact coalition. Influencers backing De la Espriella claimed that Cepeda was winning precisely in areas where guerrilla presence was strongest.

Lebanon-Israel deal may stop war crime victims seeking justice, experts say
Article 13 of the deal says Israel and Lebanon will “cease all hostile or negative actions in international political or legal forums” to establish good faith between the two sides. The text, which is broadly phrased, could prevent victims of Israeli war crimes allegedly committed during fighting since 8 October 2023 from seeking justice through international or national courts.

Australia to strengthen social media ban for under-16s as evidence shows kids still using platforms
These platforms, as well as X, Kick, Reddit, Threads and Twitch, face fines of up to $49.5 million (£25.8m) if they fail to take reasonable steps to remove the accounts of young children. Information sciences expert at Melbourne’s RMIT University, Lisa Given, said the government’s proposed reform was a response to evidence that the ban was failing.

Serbian President Vučić says he will resign within ‘weeks’
“These are my last days and weeks as the republic’s president. After that, I will resign,” Vučić told supporters of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) at a rally in Belgrade on Saturday, according to media reports. His second and final mandate was due to expire in 2027. His announcement came amid persistent student-led anti-corruption demonstrations, which have been demanding early elections since the deaths of 16 people when a railway station roof collapsed in Novi Sad in November 2024, with frequent violent clashes between police and protesters.

For example, someone born in 1986 and someone born in 1994 are both “millennials” but someone born in 1997 is a “zoomer” even though someone born in 1994 has a life experience much more like someone born in 1997 than they do someone born in 1986. Likewise, we don’t even know how to define when certain generations end or begin. Is the cut-off for boomers 1963, 1964, or 1965? To what extent does it matter?
It seems like scapegoating “boomers” for everything has become a popular thing to do on social media and I have to ask why is blaming the older generation somehow worthwhile? “Boomers were the hippies who ended up becoming conservative and voting for Reagan” — that doesn’t explain the material factors that lead to the rise of Reagan and neoconservatism in the first place. You can’t simply “blame boomers” when “boomer” exists in a materialist context. Likewise, you can’t blame Gen Xers and millennials for being “vain” or whatever when Gen Xers and millennials also faced material conditions beyond their control. So why are we placing blame on generations? Does it make any sense to do this?

I'm sorry, "We" are "Winning" by "Doing Nothing"? While the US secures every single node in your dubious tactic of Belt and Road outside of the China-Russia-Iran triangle, two of which are extremely vulnerable (entrenching the quarantine 1*, compounding power asymmetry 2*)
1: how's that worked out for all ML states so far? it is the most lethal and you invite it? who's playing who? "do nothing win" may be the CIA's most successful meme and you drooling suburban Californian MLs love it
2: speedrunning the later decades of the USSR are we? Ah yes China winning hard by events in Caribbean (only stable core of their LatAm strategy)
Great that you now have allies like UAE and Egypt in BRICS after Assad (oops, guess he wasn't immortal, but Ben didn't make a vid no that :( curious) Bright days ahead in west Asia, the key geostrategic zone for the Belt and Road pipe dream to come into effect (connecting asia to africa and latin america) as all arab states in the region let the the zionists "finish the job" for their bottom line.
Chinese chauvinism made them get kicked out of Sahel too, you think South Africa can carry the continent by itself?
As yankees now pivot from Asia to LatAm (Japan, Philippines, Thailand, India, Nepal, Afghanistan, """East Turkestan""", socfash Mongolia) and the British Commonwealth in the timezone - "looking good") and LatAm most already having been made subservient following US successful drug networks wrecking the straight line from Mexico to Brazil; "pink wave" reformists predictably walking on crates went and made themselves associated to drugs and are now stuck in a alt-right malaise for the foreseeable future (you say "look at andean region"). The entire continent is a settler-colonial project that already accomplished its task. Arab populations can't even find the bourgeois nationalism in them in the late stage of capitalist imperialism to free their Palestinians brothers and sisters from the first phases of their genocide. Iran is doing what it's doing purely for regional competition with the Isaraelis and Gulf Arabs. Every single west asian sunni arab zionist state standing firm, no arab spring 2 but arab nationalist.
You are as politically relevant as a radlib and your class collaborationism makes you but another obstacle in the way of proletarian revolution.

This is probably the result of anti-DSA shilling, and of course I have nothing but contempt for ziocons and the orange pedophile, but at the same time I've interacted with pro-Palestine protests/groups with a self-proclaimed "socialist" bent in my own country and they mostly seem to oppose Israel because they think they are White cracKKKer colonisers and worship anyone with brown skin. To what extent is the DSA made up of people who would actively cheer if I got hacked to death by a random naked Haitian for no reason unless I parroted their talking points constantly and painted my nails weird colours?
How much of a "kill all cracKKKers" movement is the DSA?
I'm not American but my gf is. At her work she has a bunch of lesbians who tell her about attending DSA meetings. She says they do cool shit like consoom ethically under gabidalism, only buy fair trade stuff, run coops, do community outreach etc and try to be as little of an autistic political bickering club as possible. However at the same time I see a bunch of shilling that the DSA is extremely anti-White, and the fact that the only local chapter I've heard about first-hand is full of dyed-hair lesbians (who are pretty much always spiteful and militant especially towards White guys) along with the sperging about skeletons in the closet of the one prominent White guy their movement was even able to get (Platner) to seem "relatable" to White guys leads me to suspect that these people are not actually the friends of working class White men. I get the feeling that, if they get their full way after the zionist conservative billionaires controlling the other side of American politics are done squandering all public goodwill towards themselves, it will be open season on all cracKKKKers and their shit across the West as a rainbow coalition of crusty mutated-looking baizuo, Americanised 4b feminists, the couple hundred million browns inside the West and every other brown piece of shit from the third world that wants to waltz in will be permitted to work their way towards a pogrom against all working class White "settlers" while the porkies and yids that are actually responsible for the problems they're worked up over just lock up their gated communities, move their gigafactories to India or take a plane back to Israel.This is probably the result of anti-DSA shilling, and of course I have nothing but contempt for ziocons and the orange pedophile, but at the same time I've interacted with pro-Palestine protests/groups with a self-proclaimed "socialist" bent in my own country and they mostly seem to oppose Israel because they think they are White cracKKKer colonisers and worship anyone with brown skin.

Hey what’s up it’s Jeffrey Epstein
I bet my good friend Donald Trump has done Israel’s bidding and went to war so you’d focus on all the dead children in Iran instead of in the files. It’s pretty crazy, I thought for sure the “thanks for the torture video” emails would put an end to my cabal but it looks like they aren’t even touching Wexner. Well I gotta get back to haunting Steve Bannon. Every morning I soak his scalp in some vegetable oil from the kitchen, it’s a great laugh when he doesn’t just give up on showering.

Plane crash into Chinese skyscraper
Awesome! I hope the plane took out some financial scum. By the looks of it there was a fire so I hope as many of those imperialist bourgeois pigs were roasted in it. It's a shame the whole building wasn't taken down but the plane was too small. People should start crashing like cargo jets (since then it is a victimless attack apart from some cleaners and other workers in the building) into financial office skyscrapers in order to start culling the bourgeois where they are at their most concentrated in imperialist countries like China or the U$A.

Will the stock market be abolished, private ownership of capital, the three represents system abolished, a planned economy be build?

‘People shouldn’t expect there will be water in their taps every day’: why is St Lucia running out of water?
The water scarcity crisis plaguing the Caribbean nation had become so severe that last March the island’s hospitality and tourism sector considered bringing in water by barge from its neighbour, Dominica. For experts, this was a sign that, as the climate crisis worsens, extreme weather events could trigger systemic risks on the island.

R: 14 / I: 1
In today's public discourse, there is no shortage of so-called praise for the "Nordic Model." This argument holds that the "Nordic Model" relies on reform rather than external expansion, achieving a highly developed standard of living and social welfare on a so-called "Third Way," which is genuine "socialism." Especially at western website, such voices are particularly loud. In China, a large number of liberals also tout these Nordic welfare states, calling them a paradise on earth. However, is this really the truth?
In the Nordic region, there is a communist who supports the Third World people's resistance against imperialism, named Torkil Lauesen. This brother, who once screwed bolts in a factory and delivered packages on the streets, rebelled against Nordic capitalists because he opposed the Nordic exploitation of the Third World. As a result, he was sent to prison by the "democratic and free" Nordic Social Democratic government. After regaining his freedom, he wrote a book titled *Riding the Wave: Sweden’s Integration into the Imperialist World System*. Let's see how he exposes the imperialist acts of the Nordic countries.
Swedish capitalists have transferred a massive amount of low- to mid-end labor-intensive industries to the Third World, making a fortune overseas: [The Swedish company Electrolux is one of the world's leading producers of household appliances and tools; by 2010, about 70% of its production was outsourced to low-wage countries. In 2018, 3,103 Swedish multinational companies employed 2.16 million people, of which 1.5 million were abroad and another 660,000 were within Sweden. Swedish transnational capital is highly concentrated. The 30 largest companies employed 1,053,381 people in 2018, with 773,611 abroad and 279,770 in Sweden. The turnover of these companies abroad was 3,713 billion SEK (445.56 billion USD), compared to 2,263 billion SEK (271.56 billion USD) in Sweden.]
Some say that the countries Sweden invests in are primarily Western developed countries like Germany, so Sweden does not exploit the Third World. Regarding this, this brother also provided an explanation: [About half of the investments are inter-imperialist—Swedish investments in North America and the EU, and vice versa—which reflects the degree of global capital integration. Swedish Electrolux products are sold in the EU and the US, while German Siemens and US Apple products are sold in Sweden; importantly, the products of Electrolux, Siemens, and Apple are all actually produced in low-wage countries. From an imperialist perspective, investment in low-wage countries is the key.]
In plain terms, Sweden invests in German companies, and the products of these German companies are all produced by the working people of the Third World. The surplus value extracted by the German companies comes from the Third World, while Sweden can obtain a portion of the blood and sweat money from Third World working people through its equity investment in German companies, which is essentially "the sharing of spoils among imperialist robbers." However, in the eyes of some people with a worrying level of political economy, it seems as if Sweden exploited Germany rather than the Third World. I also find such bizarre remarks hard to understand.
[According to data from Statistics Sweden, in 2018, about 576,000 people living in low-wage countries worked for Swedish companies through subsidiaries. Among them, 252,000 lived in Asia, including 103,000 in China and 46,000 in India. South and Central America had 125,000 such workers, including 27,000 in Brazil and 33,000 in Mexico. Africa had 25,000, and South Africa had 12,000. Eastern Europe had 144,000, including 64,000 in Poland. The turnover of these Swedish subsidiaries in low-wage countries reached 93 billion SEK (11.16 billion USD) in 2018 alone.]
This kind of transnational exploitation by transferring labor-intensive industries outward also causes unemployment among industrial workers within imperialist countries. These industrial workers who lose their jobs are then transferred to the service industry: [Parallel to outsourcing, the number of industrial workers in Sweden decreased from about 370,000 in 1996 to 161,367 in 2018. During the same period, the number of employees in the service sector increased from about 275,000 in 1996 to 408,437 in 2018. Due to outsourcing, the number of workers directly employed by Swedish multinational companies in China and India alone is equivalent to the number of industrial workers these companies employ in Sweden.]
If the Swedish proletariat merely shifted from manufacturing to the service industry and could at least still enjoy some "Social Democratic blessings," then what kind of "blessings" do the working people of the Third World, who are brutally exploited by Swedish capitalists, enjoy?
[In 2016, the UN International Labour Organization (ILO) released a report on the working conditions in textile factories in Cambodia, India, and Bangladesh, which are suppliers to H&M. In Cambodia, about 700,000 people work in the garment industry, 90-95% of whom are women aged 18 to 35. The average monthly wage in Cambodian factories supplying H&M was $187. In Indian factories, the monthly wage was $114, and in Bangladesh, the monthly wage was about $87. According to the ILO report, these wage levels are only enough to cover about half of basic living necessities and simple housing.]
After finishing their work for the Swedish Social Democratic masters, the workers of the Third World receive pitifully low wages, unable to maintain even the most basic food and clothing. This is the "blessing" brought by imperialists to oppressed peoples—a bloody "blessing." Of course, Western imperialists, waving the banners of so-called "human rights" and "progress," sometimes put on a show and pretend to be great philanthropists, sanctimoniously saying they want to improve the labor conditions of Third World people, but in reality, it is lip service without substance:
[In February 2018, Swedish national television reported that factory workers at H&M's Hawassa supplier in Ethiopia earned only 300 SEK ($36) per month. At the same time, H&M was participating in a major new development aid project: Swedfund, the Swedish state development aid organization, had provided a preferential loan of 125 million SEK to the Bangladeshi company DBL, which was building a new textile factory that would provide 4,000 jobs in Ethiopia. H&M would take action to ensure sustainable conditions, committing to become a long-term buyer for the factory. In an interview with Swedish television, Swedfund's CEO did not want to talk about whether he thought 2 SEK per hour (300 SEK per month) was a good wage in Ethiopia. They stated that Swedfund intended to try to arrange higher wages in the country, but even though the joint project started in 2014, there were still no requirements regarding factory wages.]
As Comrade Lenin said, the exploitation of the labor of low-wage workers from backward countries and the extraction of their super-profits is a particularly typical phenomenon of imperialism. [Exploiting the labor of low-wage workers from backward countries is precisely a highly typical phenomenon of imperialism. To a certain extent, the parasitic nature of rich imperialist countries is built upon this. While these countries brazenly and extensively exploit the "cheap" labor of foreign workers, they also use higher wages to buy off a section of their own workers. The words "low-wage" should be added, and at the same time, the words "and often rightless" should be added, because the exploiters of "civilized" countries always take advantage of the fact that imported foreign workers have absolutely no rights.]
So, I advise some conservatives who are left in form but right in essence, who try to unite with Western imperialism under a leftist guise, to read more of Comrade Lenin's works, and do not try to claim kinship with foreign skin-flayers. Some netizens also say, "The Nordic countries didn't commit murder or arson, so how did they exploit you?" Well, Swedish capitalists really do commit murder and arson in the Third World:
[In June 2010, the European Coalition on Oil in Sudan published a report titled *Unpaid Debt*, calling on the Swedish government to investigate allegations regarding Lundin Petroleum's involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity during its activities in South Sudan (then Sudan), particularly between 1997 and 2003. The crimes in question included indiscriminate and deliberate targeting of civilians, burning of homes, looting, destroying objects necessary for survival, unlawful killing of civilians, rape of women, abduction of children, torture, and forced displacement. About 12,000 people died, 160,000 were forced to leave their lands and homes, and many could never return. Satellite images taken between 1994 and 2003 showed that the activities of the Swedish oil company coincided with a significant decline in the area of agricultural land in its operating zone.]
What "democratic socialism"? To me, this is nothing but the banditry of imperialism!

This argument holds that the "Nordic Model" relies on reform rather than external expansion, achieving a highly developed standard of living and social welfare on a so-called "Third Way," which is genuine "socialism." Especially at western website, such voices are particularly loud. In China, a large number of liberals also tout these Nordic welfare states, calling them a paradise on earth. However, is this really the truth?
In the Nordic region, there is a communist who supports the Third World people's resistance against imperialism, named Torkil Lauesen. This brother, who once screwed bolts in a factory and delivered packages on the streets, rebelled against Nordic capitalists because he opposed the Nordic exploitation of the Third World. As a result, he was sent to prison by the "democratic and free" Nordic Social Democratic government. After regaining his freedom, he wrote a book titled *Riding the Wave: Sweden’s Integration into the Imperialist World System*. Let's see how he exposes the imperialist acts of the Nordic countries.
Swedish capitalists have transferred a massive amount of low- to mid-end labor-intensive industries to the Third World, making a fortune overseas: [The Swedish company Electrolux is one of the world's leading producers of household appliances and tools; by 2010, about 70% of its production was outsourced to low-wage countries. In 2018, 3,103 Swedish multinational companies employed 2.16 million people, of which 1.5 million were abroad and another 660,000 were within Sweden. Swedish transnational capital is highly concentrated. The 30 largest companies employed 1,053,381 people in 2018, with 773,611 abroad and 279,770 in Sweden. The turnover of these companies abroad was 3,713 billion SEK (445.56 billion USD), compared to 2,263 billion SEK (271.56 billion USD) in Sweden.]
Some say that the countries Sweden invests in are primarily Western developed countries like Germany, so Sweden does not exploit the Third World. Regarding this, this brother also provided an explanation: [About half of the investments are inter-imperialist—Swedish investments in North America and the EU, and vice versa—which reflects the degree of global capital integration. Swedish Electrolux products are sold in the EU and the US, while German Siemens and US Apple products are sold in Sweden; importantly, the products of Electrolux, Siemens, and Apple are all actually produced in low-wage countries. From an imperialist perspective, investment in low-wage countries is the key.]
In plain terms, Sweden invests in German companies, and the products of these German companies are all produced by the working people of the Third World. The surplus value extracted by the German companies comes from the Third World, while Sweden can obtain a portion of the blood and sweat money from Third World working people through its equity investment in German companies, which is essentially "the sharing of spoils among imperialist robbers." However, in the eyes of some people with a worrying level of political economy, it seems as if Sweden exploited Germany rather than the Third World. I also find such bizarre remarks hard to understand.
[According to data from Statistics Sweden, in 2018, about 576,000 people living in low-wage countries worked for Swedish companies through subsidiaries. Among them, 252,000 lived in Asia, including 103,000 in China and 46,000 in India. South and Central America had 125,000 such workers, including 27,000 in Brazil and 33,000 in Mexico. Africa had 25,000, and South Africa had 12,000. Eastern Europe had 144,000, including 64,000 in Poland. The turnover of these Swedish subsidiaries in low-wage countries reached 93 billion SEK (11.16 billion USD) in 2018 alone.]
This kind of transnational exploitation by transferring labor-intensive industries outward also causes unemployment among industrial workers within imperialist countries. These industrial workers who lose their jobs are then transferred to the service industry: [Parallel to outsourcing, the number of industrial workers in Sweden decreased from about 370,000 in 1996 to 161,367 in 2018. During the same period, the number of employees in the service sector increased from about 275,000 in 1996 to 408,437 in 2018. Due to outsourcing, the number of workers directly employed by Swedish multinational companies in China and India alone is equivalent to the number of industrial workers these companies employ in Sweden.]
If the Swedish proletariat merely shifted from manufacturing to the service industry and could at least still enjoy some "Social Democratic blessings," then what kind of "blessings" do the working people of the Third World, who are brutally exploited by Swedish capitalists, enjoy?
[In 2016, the UN International Labour Organization (ILO) released a report on the working conditions in textile factories in Cambodia, India, and Bangladesh, which are suppliers to H&M. In Cambodia, about 700,000 people work in the garment industry, 90-95% of whom are women aged 18 to 35. The average monthly wage in Cambodian factories supplying H&M was $187. In Indian factories, the monthly wage was $114, and in Bangladesh, the monthly wage was about $87. According to the ILO report, these wage levels are only enough to cover about half of basic living necessities and simple housing.]
After finishing their work for the Swedish Social Democratic masters, the workers of the Third World receive pitifully low wages, unable to maintain even the most basic food and clothing. This is the "blessing" brought by imperialists to oppressed peoples—a bloody "blessing." Of course, Western imperialists, waving the banners of so-called "human rights" and "progress," sometimes put on a show and pretend to be great philanthropists, sanctimoniously saying they want to improve the labor conditions of Third World people, but in reality, it is lip service without substance:
[In February 2018, Swedish national television reported that factory workers at H&M's Hawassa supplier in Ethiopia earned only 300 SEK ($36) per month. At the same time, H&M was participating in a major new development aid project: Swedfund, the Swedish state development aid organization, had provided a preferential loan of 125 million SEK to the Bangladeshi company DBL, which was building a new textile factory that would provide 4,000 jobs in Ethiopia. H&M would take action to ensure sustainable conditions, committing to become a long-term buyer for the factory. In an interview with Swedish television, Swedfund's CEO did not want to talk about whether he thought 2 SEK per hour (300 SEK per month) was a good wage in Ethiopia. They stated that Swedfund intended to try to arrange higher wages in the country, but even though the joint project started in 2014, there were still no requirements regarding factory wages.]
As Comrade Lenin said, the exploitation of the labor of low-wage workers from backward countries and the extraction of their super-profits is a particularly typical phenomenon of imperialism. [Exploiting the labor of low-wage workers from backward countries is precisely a highly typical phenomenon of imperialism. To a certain extent, the parasitic nature of rich imperialist countries is built upon this. While these countries brazenly and extensively exploit the "cheap" labor of foreign workers, they also use higher wages to buy off a section of their own workers. The words "low-wage" should be added, and at the same time, the words "and often rightless" should be added, because the exploiters of "civilized" countries always take advantage of the fact that imported foreign workers have absolutely no rights.]
So, I advise some conservatives who are left in form but right in essence, who try to unite with Western imperialism under a leftist guise, to read more of Comrade Lenin's works, and do not try to claim kinship with foreign skin-flayers. Some netizens also say, "The Nordic countries didn't commit murder or arson, so how did they exploit you?" Well, Swedish capitalists really do commit murder and arson in the Third World:
[In June 2010, the European Coalition on Oil in Sudan published a report titled *Unpaid Debt*, calling on the Swedish government to investigate allegations regarding Lundin Petroleum's involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity during its activities in South Sudan (then Sudan), particularly between 1997 and 2003. The crimes in question included indiscriminate and deliberate targeting of civilians, burning of homes, looting, destroying objects necessary for survival, unlawful killing of civilians, rape of women, abduction of children, torture, and forced displacement. About 12,000 people died, 160,000 were forced to leave their lands and homes, and many could never return. Satellite images taken between 1994 and 2003 showed that the activities of the Swedish oil company coincided with a significant decline in the area of agricultural land in its operating zone.]
What "democratic socialism"? To me, this is nothing but the banditry of imperialism!

🚨🇨🇺 BREAKING: Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel unveiled a sweeping set of economic reforms Friday, casting them as Cuba’s path through the crisis driven by a “criminal energy blockade” by the United States that has left the island nearly without fuel.
Only 1 oil tanker has reached Cuba in the past 5 months, Díaz-Canel said, a collapse that traces to January, when the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and cut the flow of Venezuelan oil, then threatened tariffs on any country that supplied Cuba.
Havana now endures blackouts of up to 15 hours a day. Among the most devastating consequences of the U.S. policy is that the Cuban government has been forced to postpone tens of thousands of surgeries for its citizens.
The Cuban President today named national defense as the first priority, citing preparations under Cuba’s “Whole People’s War” doctrine. The full 2026 reform program includes:
🔹Enterprise & Markets
🔸 Overhaul the economic management system, easing the conflict between central planning and incentives for production
🔸 Grant state enterprises autonomy to set their own wages, dimensions, clients, and suppliers, use their profits freely, and enter the currency market directly [enterprise autonomy is a bad idea]
🔸 Loosen rules on non-state businesses, narrowing banned activities and widening shareholding
🔸 Fast-track approval of stalled private and state MSMEs (mipymes)
🔹 Decentralization & the State
🔸 Expand municipal autonomy, letting provinces import, export, attract foreign investment, and manage hard-currency income on their own
🔸 Restructure and shrink the state, cutting ministries and posts via a public draft law to reduce bureaucracy
🔹 Trade & Investment
🔸 Make foreign trade more dynamic, dropping mandatory intermediaries and favoring importers of raw materials over finished goods
🔸 Incentivize foreign direct investment, plus a new role for Cuban-diaspora and resident-Cuban investors as economic actors [Whyyyy?????]
🔹 Agriculture & Food
🔸 Reform land use, giving land to those who will farm it, cutting idle plots, and opening input and currency markets to producers across all sectors
🔸 Pursue food self-sufficiency by streamlining bureaucracy for agricultural production
🔹 Fiscal, Monetary & Social
🔸 Shift fiscal policy so the budget no longer finances state-enterprise inefficiency [So make things worse for the state sector]
🔸 Redesign monetary policy and the foreign-exchange market, and strengthen the banking system
🔸 Reform wages in the budget sector and move from subsidizing products to subsidizing people
🔹 Energy & Transport
🔸 Expand renewable energy and electric mobility, including local EV assembly, to cut dependence on imported fuel
🔸 Ease vehicle import limits, favoring solar-charged electric vehicles
🔹 Tourism, Commerce & Labor
🔸 Revive tourism through new operators beyond the big foreign chains that have pulled out
🔸 Modernize domestic commerce with electronic invoicing and digital platforms
🔸 Protect young skilled workers with better pay and incentives to curb emigration
Let's hope those loyal to the communist cause in Cuba resist liberalization.
Cuba: Surrendering or tactical retreat?

It’s only after 2016 that you see the big shift as the post-2008 American left became less populist and more elite, “woke”, and prestigious as opposed to the GOP which started to become more prole-coded, lower-class and populist. The cracks began with the Tea Party, and MAGA just accelerated the shift, to the point that MAGA turned from a faction within the GOP to being the top faction, so much so that any republican candidate would be committing social suicide by not being 100% devoted to MAGA.
Now that the American right (particularly MAGA) has become the incumbent, you’re starting to see some kind of return to the old status quo as right-wing influencers like Nick Fuentes and The Blaze are shitting on conspiracists, beginning with Epstein. Part of it is because Nick hates cringe and poor people, and part of it is that, now that the movement he supports is in power, all the talks about “deep state” this and that is counterproductive now that Trump (the guy Qanon prophesied to stop Epstein) is in charge. In the meantime, the American left has successfully seized on Trump acting guilty by ridiculously walking back on the Epstein files, to the point of dismissing it as a ‘Democratic hoax’. Likewise you have various MAGA influencers like Azealia Banks defending Epstein or denying it, even if it means going against their priors. This is concurrent with how the Epstein saga has transformed into a form of lumpenised class consciousness across the American left, to the point that this sort of populist Epstein-related conspiratorialism (such as allegations of cannibalism and satanism) has reached all of Latin America, the entire western left, as well as the Iranian government (if its LEGO AI videos are proof of anything).
Now what? Well, considering how conspiracy culture is being shunned by chuds if it implicates their stars, I think most of the deranged conspiracy-minded folks will either return to the left camp or abstain from politics altogether. That, or get into rightoid crashouts like in the case of picrel guy who you may know as being behind the ban of Maoist_Landlord on X’itter after said account mocked his Benzos addiction, doxxing multiple X’itter users out of psychosis, and for drenching himself in fake blood to protest Hasan Piker because reasons.
Left-conspiratard, where art thou?
Prior to 2016 (when Trump was first elected POTUS), conspiracy culture was left-coded as shown by how 9/11 truthers, anti-vaxxers, General Motors streetcar conspiracy, etc… were mostly leftists or leaned to the left in the political spectrum, with GWOT-era Michael Moore’s documentaries being the prime example. Funnily enough, the mainstream American right-wing during the Bush presidency was far more elitist and anti-conspiratorial than their leftist contemporaries, and that was when the American left was more populist since it was the underdog during the GWOT era (especially the faction opposed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan).It’s only after 2016 that you see the big shift as the post-2008 American left became less populist and more elite, “woke”, and prestigious as opposed to the GOP which started to become more prole-coded, lower-class and populist. The cracks began with the Tea Party, and MAGA just accelerated the shift, to the point that MAGA turned from a faction within the GOP to being the top faction, so much so that any republican candidate would be committing social suicide by not being 100% devoted to MAGA.

I've noticed that all mass shooters have reactionary ideologies or liberal ones (such as Audrey Hale) and that makes sense, the degeneracy and contradictions of such systems show up on these but I'm surprised there isn't even one (popular) case of a delusional communist shooting up a Walmart to start a revolution.
If someone knows any cases where the perp is left wing pls share it I want to research more in it.

Could anyone help me find the book I am looking for?
Book with references to Maoist economic development.
I remember reading this book which had graphs on Maoist industrial development showing it was actually the beginning of the "economic miracle" the counterrevolutionary state had, and that the country had modernised in the Maoist era. I'd like to find it to cite, but I don't remember the name and I didn't have a pdf in my computer library that has those details exactly nationwide, so I had to resort to a book by a liberal historian called Chinese Economic Development by Chris Bramal, that has some of the statistics (especially when it comes to human development), but not the industrial statistics. It is a good book but it is not what I am looking for and it is limited because it is liberal history not socialist history.Could anyone help me find the book I am looking for?

I also don't want to sound preachy or obnoxious, I'm not on any holier than thou shit to anyone rightward of me. If anything I pity libs and anyone who hasn't become conscious yet (except outright bigots/nazis of course), as said reactions are barely every out of genuine conviction but rather dogmatic kneejerks.
Obviously I'm not looking to turn them into red-blooded maospeak lefties overnight, but I just ease them into consciousness with lib-friendly language.

The majority of insurgencies are now in urban centres instead or rural ones, such as northern ireland and gaza.
So.. how can a urban insurgency surivive in the united states? Or similar countries? Can only decentrailized cells funcition since leadership would be capped easily, or can a full group temporaily seize small portions of a city, or cause disruptions?
