Frederick 'Hotwheels' Brennan has died before his 32nd birthday

Let me say a few things comrades.

Hotwheel's life began under conditions that reveal a great deal about the cruelty and indifference of our social order. He grew up in foster care, abandoned by his ill parents and lived with a severe congenital disability in a country that treats both poverty and disability as personal misfortunes rather than systemic failures. The fact that he had to carve out survival and meaning through the chaotic frontier of the internet says as much about the absence of collective care as it does about his determination. In a society organized around profit instead of human need, marginalized people often have to invent their own ladders.

At one point in his life, after missing a court date, he was effectively abandoned and left in conditions where he nearly froze to death in plain New York. That episode was not simply personal misfortune. It was another stark example of how the state treats disabled people as disposable, how kafkaesque bureaucratic systems punish noncompliance without regard for physical vulnerability, and how “equal treatment” in a formally neutral system can translate into life-threatening neglect. For disabled and poor people, the margin for error under our legal and social systems is razor thin. His near death in the cold was not an anomaly; it was a symptom.

He became an unlikely culture figure, not because institutions lifted him up, but because he built something that forced the world to notice him. That ascent, from social abandonment to global notoriety, reflects both resilience and the distorted pathways of recognition under digital capitalism.

From a socialist perspective, we also have to confront the material consequences of what he built. 8chan emerged from a libertarian fantasy: that “absolute free speech” detached from structure and accountability could somehow exist outside power. But no platform exists outside material conditions. Infrastructure is political. Ownership is political. The absence of moderation does not produce equality; it produces a vacuum that the most reactionary and violent forces can fill. 8chan became a space where extremism metastasized. That cannot be separated from his legacy.

Yet what makes Brennan’s story significant is that he did not remain frozen in that ideology. Learning Tagalog to try to bridge the contradiction of a disabled Westerner expat being forced to move to poorer country to exploit the exchange and income leverage for their own survival. He moved away from the right-wing milieu that initially embraced him. He became openly critical of neoconservatism, imperial wars, and the cynical manipulation of online communities by reactionary movements. He recognized, in ways that many never do, that “free speech absolutism” without a social analysis can serve the powerful more than the vulnerable.

His later support for Bernie Sanders reflected a shift toward a politics centered on material conditions: healthcare, social safety nets, dignity for working people. For someone who lived with disability, foster care, and precarity and who had nearly died because the system treated him as expendable, that turn carried moral weight. It suggested an understanding that freedom is not merely the absence of moderation; it is the presence of security, healthcare, housing, and collective solidarity.

His resistance to deleting Leftypol is another complicated chapter. On one level, it was consistent with his commitment to viewpoint neutrality. On another, it exposed the limits of a platform model that claimed neutrality while existing within profoundly unequal political terrain. Socialists understand that speech and power are intertwined; formal neutrality does not erase structural dominance. But his refusal to selectively silence left-wing spaces under pressure also showed that his commitment to principle was not purely opportunistic.

Frederick Brennan’s life is a study in how individuals navigate systems larger than themselves. He was shaped by abandonment, by digital libertarianism, by reactionary currents — and he pushed back against each of them at different points. He made mistakes with enormous consequences. He also demonstrated that ideological transformation is possible, even when it means breaking with the communities that once defined you.

From a socialist vantage point, his story underscores two truths: that techno-libertarian fantasies cannot substitute for collective responsibility, and that the state’s treatment of disabled and poor people is often punitive rather than protective. Yet it also affirms something hopeful: that people are not fixed in place by their worst chapters.

His contributions to internet culture and our very own community here on leftypol were undeniable, if fraught. More importantly, his later political evolution pointed toward a deeper insight, that freedom without material justice is hollow, and that dignity requires more than abstract rights. In the end, that recognition may be the most meaningful part of his legacy.

Rest In Peace, Hotwheels.

Statelerism

Why are western leftist so obsessed with expanding the power of their own imperialist nation-states? Literally everything they do revolves around expanding state power

>muh government healthcare

>muh public housing
>muh government regulations (full of loopholes)
>muh tariffs and 'labor protections' (coddling labour aristocrats)

None of this shit builds working class power or benefits the international proletariat. Westerners are all just little statelerites, screeching for more laws and bureaucracies so taxes can go up and their military-industrial complexes can grow even stronger

/MENA/#1

A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

This will be the inaugural edition to see how it goes. Welcome!

Decolonizing Socialism is a MUST

The classical Marxist schema wherein the industrial proletariat forms the decisive vanguard of socialist revolution must be ruthlessly interrogated and superseded when confronted with the objective reality of advanced settler colonialism, parasitic racist imperialism, and the labor aristocracy that binds large swathes of the so-called "working class" to the reproduction of empire.

The settler working class in America which are predominantly white, but including layers of assimilated non-white labor is not, and cannot be, the leading revolutionary subject in the imperial core. This is not moralism or identity politics; it is materialist analysis rooted in the global division of labor, superprofits extracted from the Third World (and internal colonies), and the bribe of relative privilege that turns potential revolutionary classes into social chauvinists or passive beneficiaries of genocide and plunder.

First, we must consider the structure of imperialism as analyzed through a MLM lens informed by dependency/world-systems insights and the theory of the labor aristocracy. The U.S. is the primary pole of the First World empire, a non-productive, consumption-heavy formation sustained by the superexploitation of the global South and the ongoing primitive accumulation against internal colonies (New Afrika/Black nation, occupied Turtle Island/Indigenous nations, occupied Aztlán, etc.). The "wages" of American workers are not merely the fruit of their labor but a redistributed share of imperialist superprofits via crumbs, cheap commodities, home ownership on stolen land, and the ideological bribe of white supremacy/nationalist chauvinism. This creates a clear labor aristocracy whose immediate material interests align more with preserving the imperialist system than overthrowing it. The "white working class" is not exploited in the classical sense that drives revolutionary consciousness; it is co-opted, bought off, and invested in settler-colonial continuity.

Historical evidence abounds from the 1877 railroad strikes through the New Deal labor accords to the post-WWII suburban boom and deindustrialization's selective pain, white workers have repeatedly sided with empire against colonized peoples (e.g., anti-Black pogroms, support for wars of aggression, rejection of reparations or land return). Even in moments of economic distress, reactionary populism and fascist-adjacent MAGA-ism or its left variants tends to dominate rather than proper proletarian internationalism. The classical vanguard role is foreclosed by this structural reality.

In contrast, the colonized masses; New Afrikans (Black people forged in chattel slavery and ongoing national oppression), Indigenous peoples (facing ongoing genocide and land theft), and other internal colonies all remain the principal revolutionary subjects. Their exploitation is not merely economic but existential, national oppression fused with class domination, where the "wage" is survival under carceral colonial terror, environmental racism, and cultural erasure. For them, the contradiction with imperialism is antagonistic and irreconcilable within the existing order. Land, self-determination, and abolition of the settler state are not reforms but preconditions for any genuine socialism.

This necessitates a non-traditional approach to socialism and production. The path forward is not the seizure of production factories by a mythical industrial proletariat but protracted people's war adapted to settler conditions; building dual power in the internal colonies, encircling the beast from within, and forging alliances on the basis of national liberation as the gateway to proletarian internationalism. Production under socialism here cannot mimic Eurocentric models of communist insurrection; it must draw from communal Indigenous traditions of stewardship, New Afrikan cooperative practices born of survival, and Maoist mass-line experiments in self-reliance all decolonized, decentralized, ecologically grounded, and hostile to European bureaucratic commandism / workerism.

The distributed vanguard emerges from these oppressed nations because their struggle is the sharpest knife against the imperialist beast. It is they who can most readily grasp the mass line, mobilize the broadest united front against settler hegemony, and sustain protracted struggle without the illusions of electoralism or social-contract peace. The white settler "proletariat" may join as allies through concrete anti-imperialist action, repudiating white-skin privilege, and submitting to the leadership of colonized vanguards but never as the leading force. To insist otherwise is to tail economism and social chauvinism, betraying dialectical materialism.

In short the colonized are the grave-diggers of empire precisely because empire rests on their graves. Any socialism worthy of the name in this settler hell must be anti-colonial at its core, led by those who have nothing to lose but their chains and everything to reclaim; land, dignity, and a future beyond parasitic "prosperity." The task is not to "unite" a bought-off labor aristocracy with the oppressed but to encircle, isolate, and dismantle the settler state from its internal peripheries outward.

Serve the people principally the most oppressed. Long live the national liberation struggles within the belly of the beast! From the dialectic arises the new synthesis, the distributed vanguard fights for decolonized communism or nothing. These approaches happen to instill way more fear in America's power structures than traditional euro socialism, and this is for a reason; ask yourself the last time you heard the FBI panic about the workers reading club, and then go ahead and look into about how just the words "turtle island" make them think "terror".

The DHS / ICE

Are the current military wing of the bourgeois settler reactionary. Thus they are the biggest direct threat to the revolution and working class and must be treated as such. Any leftist individual or organization that attempts to denounce this fact, no matter how loudly or subtly, should be treated as an enemy of the working-class, and swiftly rejected, denounced or removed. They are agents. The growth of working class power must always be backed by an apparent willingness to defend that power or it's pursuit from any and all reactionary attacks.

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Khun

I just finished reading The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) by Thomas S. Khun and it struck me as one of those instances of a non-Communist person being dialectical materialist on accident. I actually don't know what his attitudes towards Communism was, but since he was born in the USA and spent almost his entire adult life in the Cold War, I assume it wasn't good. But nevertheless, I found this to be a very intriguing but short book (he calls it an essay) which analyzes science not as a static teleological method based on making falsifiable conjectures and attempting to refute them through experiments (as with Popper) but as a continually evolving and socially constructed human enterprise based on changing paradigms, which continually rewrites and simplifies its own history in order to abridge the process of raising and training new generations of scientists. Science continually subdivides into new fields, and old paradigms are continually replaced with new paradigms through the process of crisis formation and resolution. Old theories are abandoned, and the very process of raising and training a new generation of scientists in a given field introduces only the current dominant paradigm and its main problem/solution methodologies (called "normal" science) to avoid burdening the student with the entire historical background. But as scientists engage in experimentation, they uncover anomalies which the dominant paradigm cannot explain. At first this is fine, because paradigms reign as long as dominant theories are able to explain most phenomena encountered in daily work. Anomalies are just treated as mop up work for normal science. But as anomalies accumulate there is crisis formation and entire paradigms get called into question, leading to scientific revolution. He compares this to social and political revolution and it reminds me of the whole Scientific Socialist thing about the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes. I'm probably explaining it poorly but I'm wondering if anyone else here has read this book and gotten anything out of it, or maybe even if you thought it was trash, say why.

Latin America is western and imperialist

I never understood the puppy-eyed look American and European leftoids and even self-proclaimed marxists do with Latin America. It is just a bunch of bourgeois states with western institutions, languages and religion. Just because it is mostly filled-up with both white and ambiguously white people doesn't make it anymore "non-western" than Kenya is.

Are we supposed to ignore the fact that the region's languages (French, Spanish, and Portuguese) owe itself to Iberian and French imperialism which included both settler colonialism and the genocides and democides of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, or are we supposed to gloss over it because the perps weren't Anglos?

I mean, some of the shit supposedly "leftist" idpol-tarded Latinx race hustlers come up with to hate on Anglos is just hilarious. Like "linguistic colonialism"? That’s rich coming from them, given that Latin America as a whole wouldn’t even be a thing without Spanish and Portuguese colonialism. That the vast majority of people there speaks Spanish is a legacy of that. For language? No dog in the fight (except that there's no reason why the X can't be adopted, or the language be made more gender-neutral) but it does illustrate how deep the average Latinx leftoid, chicano or not, is into idpol, to the point that it seeps into their geopolitics. Should we surprised that much historical amnesia and inferiority complex coming from a people whose ancestors were the rape babies of the conquistadores and their squaw captives? I think not.

Inb4 "Dats not thru gringo. Hey was singing kumbaya n shieet in peace before Murica ruined it".

Machismo and femocide? Two problems for which we "gringos" have to look over lest we become rayciss against the poor and hapless "brown" criollos. After all, performative feminism means that LatAm doesn't have an issue with women's rights, homophobia, etc… and if you say otherwise then it's "legenda negra" and that marks you as an American imperialist even if you're just applying the same standards to America as the rest of the Americas.
Doesn't matter that Latin American culture enables prostitution, the commodification of sexuality, sexual hierarchies, CSA, etc… pointing those out makes you "imperialist" and hence le bad guy. Because, as we'll soon learn, everything bad that happens in Latin America, be it a white man killing a black man, some guy deciding to beat his wife out of the blue, etc… is all America's fault, for blaming the USA for LatAm's ills has been the common leftist narrative in the region since forever.

Moving on from gender relations, who can forget the performative anti-racism (be it Brazil's Racial Democracy dogma, or HispanicoAmerica's Hispanidad) that serves to mask a racism deeper than that of America?

Whether it's Brazil and Panama maintaining the ban on black immigrants for far longer than America did, or the various genocides that have occurred then and now across the region that led to the extinctions of countless peoples, the current racist hierarchy that maintains the whites as the top elite of every Latin American country (a.k.a., white supremacy) to the point that skin color is highly predictive for class status, hate speech laws silly leading to racism against non-whites being normalised in ways that wouldn't pass in America (the 2022 Los Angeles City Council scandal is a microcosm of how Latinx in the USA feel about African Americans and other non-whites not like them), every societal norm favoring European ideals over that of the indigenous or the African in spite of claims of mestizaje, etc… On and on, LatAm isn't any better on race relations than America in spite what both the Latinx race hustlers and the American leftists would like you to believe, and might actually be worse depending on the country.

And the economic side isn't any better. Whether it's the abysmal status of leftist parties there in the region after the first pink tide, political repression, common tendencies towards dictatorships due to the region's historical volatility, HUGE Catholic Church influence to the extent that atheism there is a taboo outside of Chile, the overall corruption and wealth inequality endemic to the region which is tied to race, or domestic collaboration with the America empire that includes the criollos (LatAm's brahmins, cognitive elite and foundation for the region's intelligentsia) selling out to the empire willingly, natural resources being extracted at the expense of the environment with the profits serving the white elites while the costs are externalised to the blacks, ambiguously white, and indigenous peoples… Shit ain't looking great, I'll tell you that.

All in all, your average Latin American country is less of a nation-state (barring Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay) and more of a colony run by white people with a penchant for internal imperialism. Essentially, pre-1994 South Africa but with a more fluid conception of race, and lacking de jure racial segregation.

Point being: It's time for leftists to realise that Latin America is a part of the west, not apart of, and that alongside the EU and Japan it's a co-partner with the USA in the imperialist war machine plaguing the world. Peace.

Dump all the seemingly pointless, dubious, and frivolous questions that don't deserve their own shitty threads.

Got a question that's probably been asked a million times before? You're in the right landfill, buddy. Post it here.

Cuban border agents fire upon Florida-tagged speedboat, killing four
In a statement published on social media, the Cuban government described the boat as having a licence plate from the state of Florida, a peninsula roughly 145 kilometres, or 90 miles, from the island.It also accused the speedboat of firing the first shot, precipitating an exchange of gunfire. “The crew of the violating speedboat opened fire on the Cuban personnel, resulting in the injury of the commander of the Cuban vessel,” the statement said.

Venezuela: Rice Producers Denounce Agribusiness Pressure, Demand Gov’t Support for Fair Prices
According to Martínez, rural producers sold rice crops at $0.50-0.55 per kilogram last year, and presently the Iancarina group, the biggest agribusiness firm in Portuguesa state, is offering $0.32-0.38 per kilo. Iancarina holds significant market shares nationwide in corn flour and rice distribution with its “Mary” brand and has ties to the US-based transnational commodities marketer GSI Food.

Starmer future on a knife-edge as Greens, Labour and Reform neck and neck in Gorton and Denton
Both Labour, which held the seat comfortably in the 2024 general election, and the far-right Reform are very much still in the race. A Labour loss in a hitherto safe seat would certainly reignite calls for Sir Keir to go from the Labour backbenches, and possibly precipitate a challenge by Health Secretary Wes Streeting.

Aston Martin to cut 20% of workforce in effort to save £40m
In a statement, Aston Martin, which is majority-owned by the Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, said: “Having undertaken at the start of 2025 a process to make organisational adjustments to ensure the business was appropriately resourced for its future plans, we had to take the difficult decision at the end of 2025 to implement further changes. “This latest programme will ultimately see the departure of up to 20% of our valued workforce.”

Berlinale head could be dismissed amid Gaza debate: reports
Bild also mentions a picture that allegedly compromises Tuttle's credibility in the eyes of the German government. The tabloid paper describes a February 15 press photo of the festival director posing with the crew of the film "Chronicles From the Siege," directed by Palestinian-Syrian filmmaker Abdallah Alkhatib, as a "scandal" and a "demonstrative propaganda photo." While different members of the film team are wearing a keffiyeh and one person is holding a Palestinian flag, the festival director herself is not wearing any symbols.

Iran rushes to load oil onto ships in anticipation of US strikes
Iranian oil exports from Kharg Island reached nearly 20.1 million barrels between 15 and 20 February, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing Kpler data. That is the equivalent of more than three million barrels per day (bpd) and almost three times the amount loaded over the same dates in January, Bloomberg said. For comparison, Iran’s previous three-month average of loadings was 1.54 million bpd.

CIA launches fresh social media push to recruit Iranians as Trump threatens military action
The agency urged Iranians wishing to make contact to "take appropriate action" to protect themselves before doing so and avoid using work computers or their phones. "Use a new, disposable device, if possible" and "be aware of your surroundings and who may be able to see your screen or activity," continued the message, adding that those who make contact, provide their locations, names, job titles and "access to information or skills of interest to our agency."

Modi says India stands 'firmly' with Israel during visit, fails to mention Gaza
Talks opened in New Delhi on Monday for an India-Israel Free Trade Agreement (FTA), India's government said in a statement, noting that merchandise trade reached $3.62 billion in 2024-2025. Full diplomatic relations between the two countries were established in 1992. Ties deepened after Hindu-nationalist leader Modi took office in 2014.

Family condemns military harassment of detained Banjawan sisters
Fatima Banjawan’s voice trembled over the phone as she spoke to her family from her detention cell. She told them that three plainclothes soldiers had visited her in her cell on February 19, 2026 accompanied by a man claiming to be a “rebel returnee.” Her mother, Rowena Banjawan of Mothers and Children for the Protection of Human Rights (MCPHR), described the visit as yet another attempt to intimidate her daughter.

CONTROVERSIAL OPINIONS YOU HAVE

A thread to share of what you think are your controversial opinons and takes, here mine:

- mass immigration is bad overall (I'm not against immigration per se, more like unfiltered immigration is quiet bad in my opinion)

-religion in general are bad, reactionary and backwater, and trying to "fuse" religion and left leaning politics are bound to fail because both doesn't mix well

-"liberal" eugenics is mostly right and should be mass adopted

-China is actually a trying a form of modernize socialism with end goal of becoming a full fledged socialist nation when they exhaust the market-capitalism form of relation in the country

-North Korea is a abomination of socialism

-Supporting Russia is stupid because Putin is nowhere near close to be a support of socialism and progressive politics and is just a form of support imperialist politics by because isn't western somehow is good, it's like supporting japanese imperialism back in the WW 2 era isn't western

Ive come to a realization and that is that praxis is opportunism. Youre concerned about a rogue group being infiltrated by the state and youre right. Thats why you should prepare when the state is weak. This goes along with the great man theory. There can be no great msn without fertile soil.

Juche Douche is a full on Maoist (anarchist) wrecker – AND he's openly antiwhite racist

I posted about this glowie Maoist poser before, but new dirt keeps showing and it's even worse than I thought. Juche Douche isn't just pushing decentralized Mao crap to derail real ML discussions he's also straight-up anti white and racist as hell.

Every time the convo turns to proletarian unity across nations, this dude slips into digs at "white settler" this or that hut hatred of white workers. I've seen him in threads dismissing class struggle in the imperial core as "white privilege nonsense" and praising Third Worldism while implying white people are inherently counter-revolutionary parasites. Classic Maoist racial essentialism dressed up as anti-imperialism.

He'll quote Mao on the peasantry and "permanent revolution" all day, but when someone brings up actual internationalism that includes white proletarians, he pivots to "decolonize your mind" rhetoric that's basically just anti-white chauvinism. Last in colonialism thread, he was dropping lines like "the white race's historical role is oppression benefits" straight-up race reductionism that splits the working class along racial lines. That's not Marxism or anything leftist just bourgeois identity politics with a red flag slapped on it. d don't get me started on his little red book fetish while he ignores Stalin's contributions and slanders the USSR revisionism as "social imperialism." He's trying to turn our spaces into a Third Worldist cult hellhole where white comrades are treated like second-class revolutionaries at best, infiltrators at worst. If that's not racist wrecking, what is? hes also a gang member that sold drugs to his own people apparently.. lumpenscum are very untrustworthy i dont suppose anyone with a drug charge can lead any type of movement. Let's bury this wrecker. 🛑 His hourglass only has so much sand in it anyway, someone like this has made enemies and the left does not need to protect him or share his story when shit hits the fan. not to mention he takes anti zionism so far it borders anti semite. you'd think some time in prison he'd smarten up and stfu but nope, same old bs.

MARXIST-LENINIST GENERAL
Founder's Edition
Esteemed comrades, revolutionary greetings.
This is a thread for Marxist-Leninist to talk among Marxist-Leninists. By that, we mean actual, real, complete Marxist-Leninists, not those who appropriate the heritage of Marxism-Leninism, but then proceed to denounce Lenin and Stalin from anarchist, left-deviationist and right-deviationist positions. Be not afraid to mercilessly bully the trotskyist, the leftcommunist, the anarchist, the social democrat and all the other saboteurs and lackeys of imperialism.

We don't apreciate enough the name Soviet Union

Lenin and the rest of the bolsheviks were so based in naming the new revolutionary state "Soviet Union". No nationalist symbolism, no ethnic supremacism, no historical callout to a genocidal past. Nothing. Just the union of worker councils.
Internationalism truly died in the 1920s. Every other "socialist movement after it has been Napoleon-like technocrats with 19th century aesthetics.

Cuba Flotilla Joint Leftypol Donation

Hi comrades,

I propose we set up a fund, that leftypol can collectively put money into, and then we donate what we raised towards the Nuestra America Flotilla. Comrade Hasan Piker is also participating in the flotilla!

I know that for myself and many comrades Che and Fidel are heroes, it is important if we can help keep alive their legacies, and embrace the idea of the New Socialist Man (or the New Cuban Man) by showing comrades this humanity.

It is also important that the socialist exemplar that is Cuba which had sent many healthcare professional the world over during the Covid Pandemic, continues to show socialist governance as a model to many nations.

I'd advise sometime we set a similar thread for Palestine, I'd recommend 'The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East'.

It is likely best to be discussed here and on our matrix, where details finalised on the leftypol matrix and updates here too, so as to ensure comrades money can properly get sent across. If not, then independent donations can made, relevant links are down below.

So post in this thread to think how we can make this happen and join the matrix!

UK Palestine Action ban ruled unlawful, in humiliating blow for ministers

<Thousands arrested for supporting group since proscription are now in legal limbo as Mahmood says she will appeal


>Judges have humiliated ministers by insisting Palestine Action should not be banned under anti-terrorism laws in a ruling that has left thousands of its alleged supporters in legal limbo


>The high court said on Friday the government’s proscription of the direct action group was “disproportionate and unlawful” and that most of their activities had not reached the level, scale and persistence to be defined as terrorism

Is it possible to fix American culture?

American culture, and I'm not talking about cultural objects like Burgers, Banjos, Straw hats, or Seersucker suits or cultural Music like Country, Rap or Jazz. Im talking about behavioral culture like Hyper consumerism, Hyper materialism, American exceptionalism, or the insane Police and Military culture that's normalized. Like the last two could be fixed if the left plays its cards right but the consumerism and Materialism thing I think could be permanently bricked into the American brain. I live in America and I will always remember this time when ii was a kid and my family was on our way back from a road trip and we stopped at a McDonalds that was around an hour away from our and my little brother was upset that my Dad forgot to order a Root-Beer so he said "Don't worry we will pass like 15 other McDonald on the way home." And he said that like it was normal. I don't even think that in countries like Europe you can just walk into a Walmart and get like 47 different flavors of Oreos, Like I don't think that its inherently bad but there is no way that we get the stuff to make those Oreos without exploiting the labor of Sugar farmers in or from Guatemala or something, if it was self reliant then its fine but America doesn't manufacture anything we use anymore, Our entire economy is just 5 AI companies shuffling money between themselves. I will always remember that time that Trump was doing in interview about the Tariffs and he said "Well maybe Girls in America can have two dolls instead of thirty dolls" and although I hate Trump and his hostility to China he Isn't wrong about how kids don't need to have 30 of the same dolls to survive, and of course that is why the liberal media attacked him for saying that more then the stuff that deserves condemnation.

The Kremlin is persecuting even the pro-Kremlin Communist Party

The Communist Party, which has loyally supported the war in Ukraine, has become a target of the Kremlin.

In Russia, even supporting President Vladimir Putin's war policy is not necessarily enough as the security apparatus seeks to eradicate all opposition activity from the country.

This has been experienced firsthand by the Putin-loyal Communist Party, which has now found itself in the authorities' crosshairs, reports the Moscow Times.

The Communist Party is the second-largest party in Russia after Putin's United Russia, holding 57 seats in the 450-seat State Duma.
The party is part of the so-called systemic opposition that nominally opposes the regime but in practice supports Putin on all major issues.

In addition to the Communists, the systemic opposition is represented by the conservative and nationalistic Liberal Democratic Party (despite its name), the nominally social democratic A Just Russia party, and the self-proclaimed liberal New People party.

Before the war in Ukraine, the systemic opposition parties were allowed minor deviations from the official line, but nowadays they are expected to support Putin's line ever more unanimously.

"For those opposing the military actions, it may seem like there is no opposition at all, as all parties represented in parliament officially support the 'special military operation,'" summarized Stanislav Andreychuk of the Russian election monitoring organization Golos to the Moscow Times in April.

According to the Ukrainian human rights organization EHRG, the Communist Party has indeed supported Russia's war effort by, among other things, supplying weapons and ammunition to the front, supporting paramilitary groups, and spreading war propaganda.

But why is the Kremlin persecuting a party that so loyally follows Putin's line?

Parliamentary elections will be held in Russia in September, and as they approach, dozens of Communist Party members have been arrested. In the party's stronghold in the Altai region of Siberia, 11 party members have been arrested over the past three months. Among the arrested is Yuri Kropotin, deputy speaker of the regional parliament.

Gennady Zyuganov, who has led the party since the 1990s, has therefore expressed bewilderment over why communists are being persecuted.

According to a Russian election expert, the persecution of the pro-Kremlin opposition is linked to the upcoming elections. Even loyal support for Putin and the "special military operation" is not enough when the Kremlin fears that even the Kremlin-supporting opposition threatens the system.

"The Kremlin does not want the systemic opposition parties to become a focal point for protest votes," summarizes Ora John Reuter, a Russia expert at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

"[The Kremlin] is trying to suppress all forms of open opposition activity to make it harder for those opposing [the regime] to figure out who to give their protest votes to."

This is clearly visible in the Altai region, where United Russia has historically had great difficulty succeeding. In the 2021 regional elections, United Russia received "only" 33 percent of the vote, while the Communists took 31 percent.

The situation annoyed United Russia because the existence of even a nominal opposition in the regional parliament meant uncomfortable questions.

"I have been interrogated, threatened, and taken to court in the past. I thought those days were over, but now they are returning in an even more terrible form," Zyuganov laments.

Fortunately for Putin, many regional Communist Party deputies have ended up in court primarily on fraud charges. This has also been the case in many other regions.

Furthermore, it seems that nowadays Russians do not want to run as candidates in any kind of elections. The risk of getting into trouble is too high even as a United Russia candidate.

"All parties are having a hard time. When everyone sees this oppressive pressure, finding candidates and supporters is becoming increasingly difficult," an anonymous election expert points out.

Obligatory death to israel (you will crow "you are zionist!!!!" anyway)
The 2010s was about using idpol to distract from class struggle.
The 2020s is about using zionism to distract from class struggle.
Notice how all the "anti-zionists" in the imperial core are actually controlled opposition zionists? ACP. Nick Fuentes. AOC. Bernie. Platner and his literal AIPAC brother in law. Now you have AIPAC bribe taking jerkoffs like John fucking Ossoff saying "Epstein class" as if it means anything. The only real anti-zionists all live in Yemen and Palestine, and they're getting absolutely mauled by these sick freaks. But what is genocide in Yemen and Palestine vs. the death of the entire species? Capitalism will destroy the entire human species. just as the treatler countries were on the verge of class consciousness in 2008-2011 with the bank bailouts and Occupy Wall Street, they rolled out wokeism and BLM to distract from that. Now just as the treatler countries were on the verge of it a second time, Israel has a gazillion 9/11s happen to it.

We've seen how modern capitalism responds to surplus populations

The way, as artificial intelligence accelerates the automation of labor, the ranks of surplus populations; those rendered economically obsolete by automated efficiency will swell exponentially, far outpacing any nominal efforts at retraining or social safety nets.

This demographic bulge, composed of displaced workers from across industries, represents not merely an unintended byproduct of technological progress, but a calculated feature of an enduring elite strategy; population management through engineered obsolescence. The blueprint remains timeless in its cynicism… divide, contain, and exploit. but it all evolves into a more ruthless and technologically refined iteration, leveraging surveillance drones, biometric barriers, and predictive algorithms to enforce compliance.

In this stratified future, the global elite will retreat into fortified enclaves; gleaming archipelagos of privilege, self-sustaining metropolises insulated by layers of autonomous security systems and privatized infrastructure. These bastions, akin to exclusive urban utopias, will hoard the fruits of AI-driven prosperity; abundant resources, cutting-edge healthcare, and cultural opulence while externalizing the human costs.

Meanwhile, the vast underclass of former laborers will be herded into sprawling open-air containment zones, meticulously modeled after the Gaza paradigm; vast, surveilled dense ghettos where movement is curtailed by invisible digital fences, resource scarcity is weaponized as a tool of control, and periodic "interventions" maintain the social order through calibrated brutality.

From their vantage in these modern Tel Avivs, elevated, these unassailable hubs of power, the elite will orchestrate this dystopia with detached precision, their algorithms optimizing while the surplus masses languish in engineered despair. This is no mere speculation; it is the logical endpoint of late state capitalism, where AI serves not as mere tool of automation, but as the ultimate enforcer of a new feudal order, rendering billions enslaved by high tech state-private military rule.

As the machinery of this grand social engineering hums into higher gear, one must recognize the origins of its prototype, the Gaza Strip, that meticulously calibrated laboratory of modern containment and control, where the blueprint for managing surplus humanity was first etched in blood. Here, under the guise of security imperatives, the elite honed their techniques; deploying aerial surveillance, resource rationing, and psychological attrition to subdue a population deemed extraneous, transforming a strip of land into a proving ground for the AI-augmented panopticon. Gaza was no accident; it was the alpha test, a deliberate incubation of methods to erode agency, foster state dependency, and normalize existential precarity among the dispossessed.

Now, with the model refined and scalable, the pivot unfolds across the Atlantic; the United States, vast and fractious, emerges as the ideal arena for the beta phase and stress testing. Here, in the heart of the empire, the apparatus is being deployed with insidious subtlety; through crumbling infrastructure in rust-belt ghost towns, algorithmically enforced gig economies that atomize labor, and militarized DHS policing in urban underbellies. Watch as tent cities metastasize into semi-permanent zones of exclusion, where predictive policing drones circle like vultures. The elites, ensconced in their Silicon Valley redoubts and Manhattan spires, monitor the fractures; rising homelessness as automation devours jobs, opioid epidemics as engineered despair, and border walls repurposed inward to corral the internal surplus. This is the escalation, the live-fire exercise where the Gaza template is adapted to American soil; testing resilience against revolt, optimizing for collapse without catastrophe to the system, all while the masses scream about immigration. The experiment, once confined to a distant enclave, now encroaches on the US soil, whispering of a future where the prison walls are as invisible as they are impenetrable.

Here is how a 3rd Red-Scare might not work

Many American zoomers (myself included) are waking up to the reality of capitalism and as a reaction the government is trying to force another Red-Scare under the guise of “Radical left,” “Woke,” “Antifa,” or whatever. They have already been doing the same stuff but it doesn’t work for a number of reasons and I’ll explain why.

God Building

God Building was a Russian Marxist school of thought that advocated the construction and organization of a religion of socialist humanity rather than the abolition of religion, as defended by a strictly materialist interpretation of Marxism. Its main proponents among the RSDLP were Anatoly Lunacharsky and Vladimir Bazarov , as well as the writers Maxim Gorky and Alexander Bogdanov .

The idea of ​​a religion of humanity was developed by Ludwig Feuerbach . The idea of ​​a Promethean construction of an individual replacing God is present in Nietzsche .

The superimposition of the plane of ideas and experiences, of idealism and materialism, was one of the fundamental theses of the empiriocriticism of Richard Avenarius and Ernst Mach, greatly admired by these Russian thinkers.

The French Revolution and its Cult of Reason and of the Supreme Being provided the example of a religion organized by the State according to the ideals that the latter had set for itself.

Finally, faced with a deeply religious Russian people, the preservation of religion seemed a guarantee of success for a revolution and a new societal project.

In the issue ofMarch 1907In the Mercure de France review , Maxim Gorky defends the position of the God Builders against the atheism of Georgy Plekhanov for whom religions are destined to disappear with the advent of communism.

Anatoly Lunacharsky developed these ideas: already in his first essay, *The Atheist* (1908), he showed that pure materialism inspired a pessimism and passivity that prevented any socialist construction. It was therefore necessary to rouse the people's enthusiasm by emphasizing values ​​of well-being and joy ( naslazhdenie ) and to propose a religion of humanity centered on humankind and progress.

The two volumes of his essay Religion and Socialism (1908) definitively established his doctrine. Religious emotion is paramount and must be redirected to build socialism. People must forge a psychological unity among all individuals, recognizing the sole value of facts and bodies (thus proposing a commandment to love them) and the value of human action. Lunacharsky perceived the religious dimension of the belief in the inevitable advent of the revolution and defined the 1905 revolution itself as the action of the people's religious forces. Christ was not recognized as God, but revered as the foremost of the Communists.

Prayers would be offered to human and national genius, to humanity and progress, and would strengthen the desire to build this future society. The ritual apparatus would be completed by rites, temples and theatres where religious plays would be performed

The statement said that the Kurdish national political movements in Eastern Kurdistan have conducted organized and continuous struggles for years against the dictatorial and centralized authority to gain their national and political rights. It added: “Since coming to power, the Iranian regime has consistently waged war, executing and killing hundreds of political leaders and causing the martyrdom of thousands of revolutionary youth and political activists, many of whom were killed in prisons. Kurdistan has been turned into an occupied and militarized region, managed under the repressive policies of the Iranian government.”

Serious National Bolshevism Thread

Slavoj Zizek and other higher philosopher-psychologists observe that irony is often a cover for a "hidden attraction". Why? Because it's impossible to joke about something that you absolutely hate. When a man makes a Hitler joke, a Stalin joke or any other "ironical" meme, it may represent his true desire and wish, often it does. In such cases, irony works as a form of mentioning, of attraction, of worship. There is something about the subject of irony that attracts this man, and makes him want to procreate and spread it to other minds - "meme it", so finding like-minded individuals. Eventually, the irony becomes transformed into true belief. This process is frequently observed in proto-nazis, who first joke about it, but gradually connect with each other (through irony) and form into communities of true believers, full nazis.

Here's a direct quote by Brennan, blessed be his soul:
"4chan users would always try to go to extremes and troll each other. When they threw around the N-word, the word “cripple,” and “They should all be gassed” — things about Jews — it started to become, like, are they really joking? Are they just trying to emulate South Park? And is this a joke? Or are they starting to actually believe this? This kind of behavior became less about just offending for the sake of offending and more, “No, this is actually what we believe.”"

National Communism is the true form and purpose of /leftypol/. The logical conclusion of our ideals and wishes is hidden within it. To understand ourselves and our surroundings, we must delve into it, examine its logic and rhetoric. We will invent (or find, depending on your perspective) the anatomy of a new ideology.

Generating National Communism will be a sustained, long-term effort, as great thinker Brennan once said:
"The far-left, neo-Nazbol members will be committed to staying on 4chan and arguing with people that they will eventually convert more and more of the user base. It will happened slowly, but they would first siphon themselves off and have a “National Communism” general thread. Our strategy will be to say, “We’re just here to talk, like you; we’re just here for our free speech. Just leave us”"

A certain interpretation of the quote is the "Mystic alchemy of right-wing to left-wing." The secret purpose of leftypol, as its name hints at, is to coopt nazim into a nazbolism, which will serve to protect the working class against the elite's class war. No more "jews", but "elites"

Internationalist Voice (Iranian) analysis of the protests (Jan. 4-19):

>Leftists and the Mujahedin claim that monarchists are attempting to influence the protests in favour of “Reza Pahlavi”[7] by adding audio to video clips, or that this role is being played by the Islamic bourgeoisie itself, which is confident in the harmlessness of the monarchist opposition. In other words, they argue that the promotion of monarchist demands within the protests is either meaningless or marginal. This claim is partly correct, but it does not capture the full reality.


>First and foremost, it should be emphasised that the nature of a movement determines the extent to which it can be exploited or redirected. In an independent workers’ movement, this possibility is considerably low; however, in an “all-together” movement, the scope for reactionary forces to intervene is much greater. Within this framework, a serious question arises: can the statement issued by students at Isfahan University, in which it was asserted that “the 1979 revolution was a historical mistake,” be regarded merely as the result of external manipulation and interference?


>For leftists who, through demagoguery, consider students to be “working-class students,” it is as if students necessarily advance the demands of the working class in every protest. In reality, however, students are not inherently revolutionary; at times, they can play a counter-revolutionary role, and at other times, depending on objective conditions and their connection to the class struggle, they can assume a revolutionary role. To clarify this issue, two specific examples can be cited.


>The student protests of July 1999 arose in response to the closure of the reformist[8] newspaper Salam. These protests served the interests of the reformist faction of the Islamic bourgeoisie, and students became instruments in intra-governmental struggles. Nevertheless, the movement exacted a heavy toll, leaving many dead and injured, and profoundly altered the fate of some of the students.


>In contrast, in autumn 2018, following the widespread workers’ protests, students openly expressed solidarity with the workers’ struggles and placed class demands at the centre of their slogans. By chanting slogans such as “We are the children of workers; we stand with them,” they effectively became integrated into a segment of the workers’ class movement and played a role distinct from that of previous periods.


>When the working class emerges as an independent social class in the course of societal developments, the scope for manoeuvre of not only the right- and left-wing tendencies of capital but also ultra-reactionary bourgeois forces and adventurist elements is sharply reduced. This is because the independent presence of the proletariat exposes the real contradictions of capitalism and prevents protests from being redefined and co-opted within bourgeois, pro-democracy, or imperialist frameworks.


>A clear example of this situation can be seen in the workers’ protests of autumn 2018, a period during which media outlets such as the BBC, Voice of America, Radio Israel, and other bourgeois propaganda instruments were effectively sidelined and lost the ability to influence the protests. Under such conditions, bourgeois tendencies—particularly the hypocritical and liberal tendencies of the Western bourgeoisie—were compelled to be silenced, as the language, perspective, and demands of these protests could not serve their class interests.


>The shameful Islamic bourgeoisie has plunged into one of the deepest crises in its disgraceful history, and consolidating itself is not so easy. To demonstrate its power and to pretend it has a social base, the Islamic bourgeoisie issued a call for marches in all cities on 11 January. This call was an overt attempt to stir public sentiment and to draw people into a government-organised demonstration.


>On 11 January 2026, the state broadcaster aired a report from the Kahrizak forensic centre showing scenes of corpses in a large warehouse. The Islamic bourgeoisie claimed that these bodies belonged to individuals who had been harmed by “rioters” during the protests, but the main purpose was to stir public sentiment and garner support for the government. The report displayed photographs of the corpses and the names of the deceased on a screen, while grieving families were mourning and identifying their loved ones. Interestingly, these same images are circulated by Western media as victims of the Islamic bourgeoisie’s crimes. The state broadcaster also aired footage of government-supporting demonstrations, particularly in the cities of Ilam and Hamedan—areas where protests against the regime had been more widespread than elsewhere.


>The war between Iran and Israel is not the result of decisions made by warmongering leaders but it is the expression of the capitalist system today. Regardless of the political façade a state adopts—be it democratic or dictatorial, peace-seeking or openly militaristic—they all share one fundamental trait: sacrificing the working class as cannon fodder in imperialist wars. Without exception, they are all war criminals.


https://www.internationalistvoice.org/

Recent reports from the streets by Worker-Communist Party of Iran (Hekmatist) translated from Farsi (Jan. 7-13)

>The Iranian people do not need a military attack by American bombers, nor do they need international criminals to intensify sanctions and attack their livelihoods for freedom, prosperity, and equality, to be free from the clutches of the Islamic Republic. Lifting sanctions, preventing a military attack on Iran, and cutting off the hands of international criminals from their lives and struggles is the demand of tens of millions of people in Iran and the demand of their freedom-seeking movement.


>After two weeks of protests in Iran and their spread to various cities, the Islamic Republic has taken extensive measures against the protesting people under the pretext and relying on Mossad’s claims of its interference. The Internet shutdown in Iran, the arrival of the army to confront the protesting people and the loss of a large number of protesters and deprived people, threats to government leaders from the Supreme Leader’s Office to the judiciary and widespread arrests, attacks on hospitals and house-to-house raids, and all-out propaganda by the state media and attributing the protests to the people’s rights to Mossad, introducing every protester as a Mossad spy and their agents, have created serious dangers.


>The Islamic Republic has in common with the fascist governments of Israel and America and their pawns in the opposition, pushing back this movement and blinding its radical and freedom-loving horizon. One is by ordering an “uprising” and turning the protests into street fighting and terrorizing it, and the other is by suppressing them under the pretext of Mossad’s interference and confronting it!


>To Communists: come to the streets to prevent the protests from turning into bloodshed and to ensure their progress!


>Marginal forces whose efforts to ride the wave of protests have failed and do not have the social power to divert mass protests have officially today set the policy of bloodletting in the protests to their agenda by launching mercenary and armed gangs against their opponents, declaring an armed uprising, and prematurely bringing weapons to the field in the protests. These forces, along with the apparatus of repression and the internal gangs of the Islamic Republic, are the ones who are responsible for bloodletting in the protests and the lives of the people.


>The Rajavi sect has issued an order for an armed uprising and the capture of military bases. It is as if the "rebel centers" of the Mujahideen are going to "liberate the cities and then hand them over to the local councils"!


>There is no doubt that this heavily armed regime will ultimately be overthrown in an armed uprising. There is no doubt that the people who rise up and protest have the right to use any means and weapons to defend themselves and defeat the enemy. But sending young people to war prematurely is deliberately taking them to the slaughterhouse and mass protests.


>The movement and uprising of the hungry is going its own way and, independent of the small and large insects of reaction, with vigilance and open eyes, it is organizing, uniting and nationwide its protest and struggle, protecting its activists and leaders, and building its own future. Ensuring this is the work of us communists, the work of radical and freedom-loving activists.

Evolution of the vanguard

The notion of a vanguard is not a notion of a political elite, though it can decay into one, but rather it is a notion of a highly developed strata of professional revolutionaries who guide the proletariat simply because of the fact that they had better access to political education. Sometimes this is described as "the most advanced section of the proletariat" but we often find not merely highly educated and motivated proletarians in the vanguard, but also plenty of bourgeois class traitors in (Engels), class traitors from the nobility (Felix Dzerzhinsky, Zhou Enlai) peasants (Lenin, Mao), the child of a plantation owner (Castro), and petty bourgeoisie (Marx himself, at least the young Marx, before his exile and relative poverty and England).

In the 19th century and early 20th century, this vanguard naturally contained many class traitors, since political education was rarely extended to the working class. Marx had maids, even in his apartment in London, and Lenin employed housekeepers even in his exile to a cabin in Siberia. This was a group of unusually educated professional revolutionaries who did so much reading, so much writing, so much public speaking, and attended so many meetings, that they did not have time to cook their own meals, do their own laundry, wash their own dishes, and could not have done so even if they wanted to. They needed help with basic domestic tasks from the very workers they wanted to liberate.

Today it is different. The worker can listen to the entire Marxist-Leninist canon as audiobooks while attending to the menial tasks which occupy daily life, both at work and at home. The worker can publish their thoughts to a site such as this easily, without needing access to a publishing company or a printing press. A worker can attend a party meeting in the form of a video call, while driving. This enables the worker to be every bit as involved in the theoretical half of the class struggle (reading theory, writing theory, speaking publicly, attending meetings) as they already were in the practical half of the class struggle (working, striking, fighting, dying). This calls into question whether the vanguard is the individual in a suit sitting in an office publishing theses against bourgeois rivals while servants bring tea and warm meals, or whether the vanguard is the individual who listens to Marx and Lenin while washing dishes.

Political Conversions

Have there been any studies done deconstructing the left-to-right ("Saul-to-Paul") political conversion narrative that the right-wing loves to throw around?

I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson. I'm obviously talking about Americans here but I'm sure you can name plenty of examples from other countries. What psychological factors cause someone to abandon leftism and fully embrace the right, and even worse, turn on their former comrades?

Is it simply the case that they upheld leftism as a dogma, so when their "god" died they found another god? Is it because they were always authoritarian assholes and embraced the right when the right gave them a better outlet for being authoritarian assholes? Was it because they found that the left was moving in a direction they didn't approve of, so they gradually became rightist? Or, using the narrative they themselves most often parrot, they felt "betrayed" by the left so in turn they betrayed the left?

Also, why do we rarely see any prominent right-wingers turning to the left?

Every accusation is a confession

I find it especially ironic that Islamists, who claim to be reactionaries yet are nothing but impotent conservatives: the loyal servants of of capital, have exacerbated the social ills of bourgeois society which they claimed to oppose.

Islamists in my country used to attack communists for "promoting prostitution" and the "community of women" (women owned in common) this was refuted by Marx as early as the Manifesto who pointed to the hypocrisy of this accusation, nevertheless what happened once Islamists captured power with the backing of multinational capital and the petty bourgeoisie? Public prostitution became prevalent and organized, an underground industry run by this new bourgeoisie. Religious cities became brothels that people cross oceans for, with the blessings of God and law - prostitution became holy "temporary" marriage, a market fueled by endless victims of poverty, austerity and war.

As for private prostitution (marriage) civil marriage was de facto abolished and with it any concessions offered to the woman, communists used to rally against the payment offered to the woman's family to consummate the marriage arguing that it is a form of commodification, this has now became the standard practice, cementing the woman's role as a commodity first, prompting her to rot until she is inevitably sold rather than take her own path in life.

The separation of genders have twisted the view of women to be mere objects of sexual gratification rather than real conscious beings. This view twisted further by pornagrahy; the consumption rates of which is amongst the highest in the world despite being banned and labelled taboo. Naturally the rates of harassment and rape have also increased despite bullying women into suppressing their every feminine character.

I suppose eventually it became convenient to lift any ostensible restrictions around this commodity, and so the age of marriage was lowered to 9 in order to save them from degeneracy of celibacy.

Now believe me when I say I don't shutter at the 'immorality and injustice' of any of this for the commodification of women and children is entirely within the logic of capitalism, in this extreme case it has only been elevated into a more public form under the guise of God, the only way to abolish it remains to be by abolishing all class distinctions.

The point of this post is more so to point to the hypocrisy of conservatives who purport to oppose the prevailing social order while all they do is enforce it over the bodies of workers, this is not to speak of the drug trade, crippling economic inequality, privatization, etc all have flourished under these religious charlatans.

The only solid take on Chomsky-Epstein

This is the only logical way of understanding the Chomsky-Epstein controversy and what it means for us on the left, and I will die on this hill.

The worst thing Chomsky did was go against his anarchist principles by being friends with a billionaire pervert. There is zero evidence he did anything criminal himself. No woman has come forward and said Chomsky did anything to her on Epstein Island. Chomsky gave Epstein advice on how to defend himself from the media because they were friends and Chomsky believed his friend (no matter how awful of a person he was) was innocent. That’s not a valid reason to cancel someone or Chuck out their lifetime of work.

Let’s be honest: a lot of the stuff said about Epstein is dubious at best. There’s no solid evidence he was a Mossad agent luring in high-ranking global elites in order to get blackmail material on them on behalf of Israel. Not only does this narrative completely ignore capitalism and class interest, but it’s not supported by much. For one thing, most of the girls Epstein was having sex with were over 18. Yes, sone were underage, but it’s most likely they lied about their ages the same way underage groupies in the 1970s lied about their ages in order to bang rock stars. I don’t deny Epstein was a disgusting sleazeball, but he wasn’t some three-headed Illuminati alien sacrificing babies to Satan. There’s also no evidence of Epstein ever being a pimp. None of the women he trafficked have said he was pumping them out to others. One woman, Virginia Giuffre, has made multiple claims that haven’t been substantiated yet the media takes as gospel truth. Some of the things said in the files are so outrageous it’s hard to believe them. Look at it with skeptical eyes.

But back to Chomsky: his work is now being thrown out by 99% of the left precisely because the left operates on a very rigid moralism. They will dogpile on anyone for every single little thing. Modern leftist spaces have no leaders and no real structure, so they’re unable to resolve any internal conflict in any other way than mob justice. This is a huge problem that needs to be addressed and solved.

Is there a way to hold Chomsky accountable for being friends with Epstein without demanding comrades burn his books? There should be.

The Cuban energy crisis

Cuba is currently facing one of its worst energy crisies in its history, entirely caused by the US goverment further tighting sanctions on Cuba, and with the recent overthow of the Venezuelan goverment now Cuba has lost its most valuable trade partner.
There is a deficit over 2,000 MW, so its supply isn't even coming close to its demand.

Local transportation, services, and obviously healthcare is being restricted. And considering Cuba does more for the global south in heathcare then literally any western country, it tells you how much this really effects the world, not just the nation itself. As of writting this thread Russia is sending a humanitarian ship to Cuba, do we think the US is gonna stop the ship?

Imperialism is over.

We can draw parallels with the interbellum period. The rotten liberal European regimes trying to appease brooding fascism (be it Nazi Germany or the disunited ssnakkkess of crackmerikkka), letting the rabid dogs of imperialism get away with more and more ridiculous demands, every state on the way to the Bastion of Communism (the USSR or PRC) falling like dominoes (Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Rumania, Bolgaria/Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Venezuela) but in the end, wars are not decided by vibes and shit, by flashes and thunders, wars are not decided by kidnapping figure-heads, but by the capacity of industrial production.

Youth-love is le bad because… why?

Serious question. Capitalists hate it, the bourgeois hate it, idpol cucks hate it, the reactionaries hate it. Just because they want to carve their own niche within this pedophobic zeitgeist doesn’t make them consistent.

It should also be noted that all the current nominally communist countries have magic age lines below the Hollywood one of 18, as well as Stalin, Mao, Evo Morales, etc… got laid with JB (with Evo still being persecuted for having sex with someone below the bourgeois magic age line), as well as that the USSR didn’t have a formal age of consent even under Stalin.

I should also point out that being against bourgeois norms isn’t some trendy Tumblr fad, as the Spartacist League opposes the magic age line (a.k.a., the age of consent, which was literally invented by feudal nobility because they found extramarital sex among peasants too icky) and the communist party of Britain (CPB) used to oppose it as well.

On the top of that, since there’s no evidence that intergenerational intimacy is inherently harmful, therefore this isn’t a materialist question of harm as much as a bourgeois dialectics of moralisms after moralisms that only serve to attack working class men.

So again…

Why is youth-love bad?

and it's really something that I always thought about, but that a person who doesn't know about politics came to that conclusion makes me think that people could really come to the same conclusion

anyway, what do you think about this? he even told me not to use the word "Communists" to invent something like Peron did with fascism (we are Argentines), what do you think about hiding your idolology so much without losing what your idolology really is?

You wanna think about AI as the future that you use to augment your workforce and to give your workforce additional capacity.

On "Democracy" Vs. "Resistance"

There is an unspoken agreement between US and Iran to maintain the delicate balance of power in the region.

Losing Islamist Iran period means losing Iraq to a power vacuum.

Losing Islamist Iran to communists is doomsday scenario for capitalists, the resource rich region is filled with unpopular regimes and immiserated workers. Iran and Iraq (the most susceptible for revolution) alone make up a quarter of the world oil supply. The stakes are too high to allow an unpredictable mass movement (that cannot be entirely controlled) to overthrow the regime.

Iran poses zero threat to western imperialism, in fact in places like Iraq and Lebanon it is the lever that is maintaining it. Decades of wheeling and dealing through backchannels have exposed this myth for what it is - a false dichotomy that sets the ideological framework for US and Iranian imperialism in the region, so-called "Axis of Resistance" and "Forces of Order"

Does this mean they're in agreement on everything and Iran is secretly run by da juice? Of course not, that's conspiratorial and Kautskyist nonsense. They're united in so far as their class interests meet, mostly in suppressing workers and maintaining the status quo.

Will this last forever? No, eventually a war will break out due to capital's growing contradictions and the need to counter overproduction through destruction. The region and the world broadly have yet to fall into designated camps for such event to happen, that will spark the a third global imperialist war.

Don't fall into this false dichotomy, or prepare to be disappointed. Learn from the communist parties in the region who have reached this conclusion.

No war but class war

I keep hearing the claim that "communism destroys culture," but every time I look into the culture that communism supposedly destroyed, it was either
a) That countries most reactionary religious institutions
and/or
b) Some shit like "Flay a Gypsy Day"

The closest thing to it that I'm aware of was the Cultural Revolution when the Red Guards started going full ISIS mode and smashed up some historical artifacts, but even then they were hardly trying to end Chinese culture. Once again, if people say that communism "destroyed Chinese culture" they typically mean shit like ending the influence of Confucianism or shit like foot binding.

The post war 20th century taught us that every third world revolution will just get immediately crushed by US imperialism and the last revolutionary remnants in cuba and venzuela are being suffocated. Doomers and third-worldists have no answer for this

>but american workers are reactionary!!!

not true at all really, your average american prole are gen z and millenial service workers who hate rich people. If Somehow the bolsheviks were able to convince highly religious and reactionary russian workers to support them then american workers will be easy.
>but american workers are bought off!!!
American cost of living makes any salary premium pointless. neither party has a solution and americans are increasingly dissilisioned with both parties.
>White people are too racist for revolution!!
White workers in minneapolis are literally fighting and getting shot in the streets for mexican immigrant workers. Additionally patriotism is at all time lows, and especially for gen Z, meanwhile in pre-2008 times patriotism was basically universal and bipartisan
>But the state is too strong!
in 2020 protesters literally forced trump to retreat to the whitehouse bunker and most police and national guard forces pulled out or were forced to stand down. Additionally the rank and file of the US military is disproportionately minority and younger and not heavily invested in US empire and is just there to sit on base all day and get paid a shitty paycheck, meanwhile their superior officers are mostly older and white and getting payed way more breeding resentment.

We have to rig Hungary's election. We have to finance organizations that will rig Hungary's election and ensure a victory for anti-imperialist comrade Orbán.

<Polls show that there's a good Chance Orbán will lose the next election. Chances of this tard attacking Ukraine to reclaim Hungarian inhabited areas and to postpone an electoral defeat just got a bit higher.


We have to ensure Orban wins, lets fund some organization that rigs the election or donate to the party of FIDESZ.

/multipol/ - Multipolarista General #1

🇨🇳🇺🇲🇪🇺 A thread for all-things multipolaroidistical 🇷🇺🇮🇳🇮🇷
Pioneer's edition
In spite of the seething of many supposedly 'leftist comrades', America's unipolar dominance is weakening every day and we move ever closer into a multipolar world. It is clear to any good faith communist that a multipolar world just means that: transitioning from American unipolarity to multipolarity, and that does not automatically mean the expansion and consolidation of socialism. The latter gains more opportunities in this new state of affairs, but nothing is given on a silver platter - communists still have to seize the day. If we make the mistake of thinking multipolarity is socialism, we might as well end up with a multiple poles of fascism and reaction. This is understood by communists, real ones, not agents of NATO clad in 'red aesthetics'. The latter strawman the 'multipolarity=communism' nonsense precisely to then dismantle it and thus ridicule and 'defeat' multipolaristas, doing the work of the NATO Moloch.
'''Multipolaristas, let this thread be a place where all developments concerning the advent of multipolarity is posted and compiled.

Gavin Glover dénonce un « publicity stunt » et appelle au respect du droit international

>Un groupe de Chagossiens a accosté, lundi 16 février, sur l’archipel des Chagos avec l’intention affichée d’y établir une installation permanente, plus de cinquante ans après l’expulsion de la population par les autorités coloniales britanniques. Cette initiative a suscité une réaction rapide des autorités mauriciennes, à travers l’Attorney General, Gavin Glover.


>Ce dernier affirme avoir pris connaissance d’informations selon lesquelles « des Britanniques, dont Misley Mandarin, ont apparemment accosté une île des Chagos illégalement d’après leurs propres dires ». Il soutient que ces personnes bénéficieraient du soutien du Great British PAC, qui « subventionnerait clairement cette illégalité », et prévient qu’elles devront répondre de leurs actes.


>L’Attorney General souligne toutefois que Maurice n’exerce pas encore le contrôle effectif sur l’archipel, dans l’attente de la ratification du traité en cours. « Pour le moment, c’est la Grande-Bretagne et les États-Unis qui vont probablement prendre les mesures nécessaires », indique-t-il.


>Qualifiant l’opération de « publicity stunt », il estime qu’elle vise à créer une situation de conflit avec le gouvernement britannique, alors que les débats pourraient reprendre prochainement à la Chambre des Lords. Maurice, insiste-t-il, demeure « fermement ancrée dans la préservation et le respect de l’état de droit ».


>Gavin Glover rappelle que la voie vers la réinstallation des Chagossiens passe par la reconnaissance pleine et entière de la souveraineté mauricienne sur l’archipel. Il évoque à cet effet les avis de la Cour internationale de justice, du Tribunal international du droit de la mer et une résolution de l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, qui soutiennent la position de Maurice. Il réaffirme enfin l’attachement du pays à l’ordre international fondé sur le droit, avertissant que son affaiblissement ouvrirait la voie à l’anarchie.

The Distributed Vanguard: Mass Movement Organizing and the Political Wing in Anarcho-Maoist Theory

>>The Problem of Vanguard Organization in Advanced Capitalism

The question of revolutionary organization in advanced capitalist societies presents distinct challenges that neither classical Marxism-Leninism nor anarchism adequately addresses. The centralized vanguard party, developed for conditions of Tsarist autocracy and semi-feudal social relations, encounters structural obstacles in contexts of relative working-class institutional integration, the labor aristocracy, sophisticated state surveillance, and racist ideological hegemony maintained through cultural production rather than direct repression. Simultaneously, anarchist models of loose affinity-based organization, while resistant to co-optation, demonstrate limited capacity for sustained mass engagement and territorial consolidation.

The distributed vanguard emerges from critical engagement with both traditions, seeking to preserve the Maoist insight that political power requires organized capacity while incorporating the truthful anarchist recognition that organizational form prefigures social content of revolution. It represents a strategic adaptation to what Poulantzas termed the "authoritarian statism" of late capitalism characterized by intensified surveillance, preventive counter-insurgency, and the fragmentation of working-class communities through suburbanization and precarious employment.

>>Core Theoretical Concepts


Polycentric Coordination: Drawing from Murray Bookchin's concept of libertarian municipalism and Mao's analysis of base areas, the distributed vanguard operates through multiple centers of initiative rather than direct hierarchical command. Each node possesses autonomous capacity for local organizing, resource generation, and tactical decision-making, with large scale political coordination achieved through federated structures and delegated mandates rather than top-down central direction.

The Mass Line as Epistemological Practice: The Maoist formulation "from the masses, to the masses" is understood not as democratic rhetoric but as materialist method. Revolutionary strategy derives from systematic investigation of concrete conditions, testing through practice, and refinement through collective analysis. The distributed vanguard aims to institutionalize this through structural pluralism: multiple nodes investigate parallel questions, with divergent findings synthesized through appropriate network coordination rather than authoritative resolution.

Prefigurative Infrastructure: Following anarchist emphasis on means-ends consistency, the distributed vanguard prioritizes the construction of alternative institutions via workers communes, community land trusts, mutual aid networks that simultaneously meet immediate needs, develop working class organizational skills, and demonstrate the viability of non-capitalist social relations in action. A hockey player does not get good at hockey, without playing it. A worker does not get good at communism, without living it. These constitute what Gramsci termed "counter-hegemonic" formations, creating material bases for sustained oppositional consciousness.

Security Culture as Organizational Principle: The anarchist practice of compartmentalization and need-to-know information distribution is generalized across the organizational structure, addressing the material reality of state surveillance and repressive capacity in advanced capitalist contexts.

>>The Political Wing: Interface with Institutional Politics


The distributed vanguard incorporates a revolutionary workers political wing of formal organizations contesting electoral and institutional space, distinct from but structurally linked to the broader network. This wing's function is not the parliamentary road to socialism, which historical experience has discredited, but rather:
Terrain mapping: Systematic analysis of social composition, geographic distribution of support, and institutional access points through electoral contestation.

Cadre development: Training in public speaking, organizational management, media engagement, and legal navigation under conditions of relative legitimacy

Protective legitimacy: Generation of legal and social protections for the broader network through visible, lawful political presence

Strategic patience: Maintenance of organizational morale and continuity through periods when direct action is tactically inadvisable

The relationship between political wing and network is connected by energy and motion but not command. The political wing does not command the network; the network does not manipulate the political wing as mere front. Coordination occurs through personnel overlap, shared political education centers, and strategic alignment developed through joint practice and regular federated assemblies.

>>The Black Panther Party: A Case Study in Centralized Vanguard Organization


The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (1966-1982) represents the most significant attempt at vanguard party organization in the United States during the late twentieth century. Founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, California, the Panthers combined Maoist ideological orientation with community-organizing practice, creating a hybrid form that achieved substantial influence within African American communities and generated significant anxiety within state security apparatuses.
The Panthers' organizational structure followed classical Leninist principles: democratic centralism, hierarchical command, ideological unity enforced through disciplinary mechanisms, and resource concentration at the national center. Local chapters were subordinate to national headquarters; strategic direction flowed from the Central Committee; membership required acceptance of the party's Ten-Point Program and submission to organizational discipline.

This structure enabled remarkable growth and visibility. By 1969, the Panthers maintained chapters in major cities across the United States, with membership estimates ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 active participants and significantly larger circles of supporters. Their survival programs like Free Breakfast for Children, health clinics, ambulance services demonstrated the viability of community-controlled social provision and generated substantial goodwill in targeted communities.
The centralized model provided specific advantages in the Panthers' historical context:
Rapid Mobilization Capacity: Centralized command enabled coordinated national actions, the Sacramento capitol invasion (1967), the Free Huey campaign (1968), the Revolutionary People's Constitutional Convention (1970) that generated significant media attention and recruitment appeal.

The requirement of ideological unity, however contested in practice, provided clear organizational identity and differentiated the Panthers from competing nationalist formations. The Maoist framework offered analytical tools for understanding racial oppression as structurally linked to capitalist exploitation.

Centralized fundraising and resource allocation enabled substantial investments in specific programs…most notably the Oakland headquarters and select survival programs that demonstrated organizational capacity and generated community support.

Centralized control of public messaging enabled effective utilization of contemporary media, including the party newspaper, which achieved significant circulation and provided coherent narrative framing for local activities.

The Panthers' centralized organization also created specific vulnerabilities that state counter-insurgency exploited systematically: Decapitation Vulnerability: The concentration of strategic knowledge and public visibility in a small leadership group of Newton, Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, David Hilliard created viable targets for selective neutralization. COINTELPRO operations focused intensively on these individuals through prosecution (Newton's imprisonment 1967-1970), exile (Cleaver's departure to Algeria 1969), and harassment (Seale's multiple prosecutions). The centralized structure meant that disabling the center disrupted coordination across the periphery.

Centralized organizations exhibit predictable communication patterns and decision-making venues. FBI informants could map organizational topology, identify individuals with comprehensive strategic knowledge, and report intentions with high accuracy with ease. The New York Three and Chicago Eight cases demonstrated how centralization enabled conspiracy charges linking local members to national leadership for actions they had not personally planned.

Survival programs required material resources concentrated at chapter headquarters and distributed through hierarchical channels. Police raids on Oakland headquarters (1968, 1971) and the assassination or imprisonment of chapter leaders disrupted resource flows, causing local program collapse. Distant chapters could not sustain autonomous operations without national support.

Centralized parties require the purest form of ideological unity for coordination, and lacks the ability to draw strength from reasonable differences. This is something the IRA dealt with, by not having an explicit political line beyond anti-colonial liberation. This is arguably important to colonized peoples under violence. The Newton-Cleaver split (1971) over questions of armed struggle versus community organizing, nationalism versus internationalism became an organizational crisis because the structure could not accommodate pluralism. Each faction sought control of the national apparatus; the losers faced expulsion or splintering, carrying away members and resources. This forced them to focus on internal issues, vs the outside world. The organization consumed itself in internal struggle because its structure required unity where diversity will always exist, especially so in mass recruitment campaigns.

The Panthers' public visibility and centralized command created contradictions between operational security and mass organizing. Underground military capacity eventually formalized as the Black Liberation Army, which remained organizationally integrated with the public party, exposing lawful activists to conspiracy liability and exposing operations to surveillance penetration.

Materialist analysis requires distinguishing between organizational form and objective conditions. The Panthers operated in a context of intensifying state repression, including COINTELPRO's systematic disruption, the criminalization of Black radicalism through the "War on Drugs" and mandatory sentencing, and the structural transformation of urban African American communities through deindustrialization and suburbanization. These conditions would have challenged any organizational form.
However, organizational form conditioned the manner of decline. Centralized structures amplify both success and failure; they achieve rapid growth but exhibit catastrophic fragility. The Panthers' decline was characterized by decapitation, infiltration, factional collapse, and resource exhaustion, patterns directly linked to structural vulnerabilities rather than merely to objective pressure.

Comparative analysis supports this assessment. The Puerto Rican independence movement, operating through more decentralized structures, maintained organizational continuity through comparable periods of repression. The American Indian Movement, EZLN, despite significant state violence, preserved capacity through localized base building rather than national coordination. The Panthers' specific trajectory reflects their specific organizational choices, not merely general conditions.

>>The Distributed Vanguard Alternative: A Counterfactual Analysis


The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (April 1968) and the subsequent urban uprisings, combined with the intensification of COINTELPRO adjacent operations following the Chicago Democratic Convention protests, created conditions favorable to organizational transformation. The Panthers' centralized leadership was already compromised: Newton imprisoned, Cleaver in hiding, Seale facing trial. The organization was surviving through local chapter initiative rather than national coordination.

A distributed vanguard reorganization would have formalized this emergent reality rather than reconstructing centralized command. Specifically Regional Federation Structure: Chapters would have been organized into regional federations (West Coast, Midwest, Northeast, South) with autonomous coordination capacity. The Oakland headquarters would have been reconstituted as a resource/education center and training institute, providing technical support and ideological education without command authority.

Survival programs would have been transformed into economically self-sustaining institutions, worker-owned food cooperatives, community-controlled health centers, mutual aid housing associations and squats, thus reducing dependency on national fundraising and creating material bases for long-term organizing.

The public political organization would have been formally separated from security-oriented activities, with the latter operating through cellular structure coordinated through regional federations rather than national command. This separation would have protected lawful activists from conspiracy liability while protecting clandestine capacity from systematic informant penetration.

The organization would have accommodated the Newton-Cleaver strategic divergence as regional variation rather than organizational crisis. Different regions could have emphasized community organizing versus armed propaganda marches according to local conditions, with results evaluated through shared practice rather than authoritative resolution into one singular approach. Diversity is a strength, when principles are not violated.

Under distributed structure, the Panthers' historical trajectory would have exhibited significant differences.
The imprisonment or exile of national figures would not have disrupted organizational coordination ability. Regional federations would have continued operations; local chapters would have maintained programs. Fred Hampton's assassination (December 1969) would have been a tragic loss for Illinois organizing but not simultaneously a blow to national strategy. The organization would have demonstrated the resilience that decentralized structures provide against selective targeting.

Cellular security structure would have limited informant access. Compartmentalization would have prevented comprehensive organizational mapping. The polycentric verification of major decisions being something requiring confirmation from multiple regional nodes would have made unilateral informant action difficult. COINTELPRO operations would have achieved local disruptions without organizational collapse.

The Newton-Cleaver split would have manifested as regional strategic variation rather than organizational schism. Cleaver's internationalist orientation might have developed in specific urban contexts; Newton's community-focused approach in others. Both would have contributed to organizational learning; neither would have required the other's expulsion. The organization would have preserved membership and resources that historical factionalism dissipated.

Transformation of survival programs into cooperative infrastructure would have generated material self-sufficiency reducing vulnerability to funding disruption. By the mid-1970s, regional federations might have maintained substantial economic capacity such as housing, food production, health services, thus supporting membership without total dependence on external fundraising. This autonomous capacity would have enabled survival through the resource crises that historically devastated the centralized party and traditional modern mutual aid programs.

The political wing, ideally operating through regional federations, could have contested local elections, developed municipal policy interventions, and maintained visible public pro black presence without the vulnerabilities of national coordination. Rather than the dramatic collapse of 1979-1982, the organization might have experienced gradual transformation, with some regions dissolving, others consolidating, but the overall network preserving capacity and experience.

The centralized Panthers survived approximately sixteen years (1966-1982), achieving substantial influence but ultimately destroyed by the specific vulnerabilities their structure created. A distributed vanguard organization method might have survived thirty or more years, maintaining presence through the Reagan era and into subsequent periods of social movement resurgence.
This survival would not have constituted revolutionary victory. Objective conditions in the United States during this period, relative white working-class prosperity, ideological hegemony of liberal capitalism, did not support insurrectionary transformation. The distributed vanguard does not promise revolution where objective conditions withhold it; it promises organizational survival and capacity preservation through periods when mass revolutionary action is impossible.

The measure of success is therefore not seizure of state power but maintenance of infrastructure of resistance: cadre development, community institution-building, oppositional consciousness, and technical capacity for collective action. The centralized Panthers achieved significant infrastructure development but could not preserve it; the distributed alternative might have achieved comparable development with greater durability and fluidity.

Damanhur - the scummy hippies who claim to have time travel

The Federation of Damanhur, often called simply Damanhur, is a federation of self-sustaining communities, ecovillage, situated in the Piedmont region of northern Italy about 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of the city of Turin. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the Chiusella Valley, bordering on the Gran Paradiso National Park. The community has its own constitution[1] and currency, the Credito.

Damanhur is named after the Egyptian city of Damanhur, which was the site of a temple dedicated to Horus.

The Federation of Damanhur was founded in 1975 by Oberto Airaudi with 12 of his close friends, and by year 2000 the number had grown to 800.[citation needed] It has communities and centers in Europe, America, Australia, and Japan.

The Temples of Humankind are a collection of subterranean temples built by the citizens of the Federation of Damanhur, and they are some of the largest underground temples in the world.[2]
Citizens of Damanhur
Damanhur

The constitution began with three bodies of Damanhur: The School of Meditation (ritual tradition) Social (social theory, social realization) and The Game of Life (experimentation and dynamics, life as a game, change). A fourth body was recently[when?] added, Technarcate (individual inner refinement).

Citizens participate in one of four levels, depending on their desired involvement: A, B, C, or D. Class A citizens share all resources and live on site full-time. Class B citizens contribute to financial goals and live on site a minimum of 3 days a week. Class C and D citizens live anywhere.[3] Class A & B citizens participate fully in The School of Meditation, Social, and the Game of Life. Class C citizens participate fully in The School of Meditation.

Citizens participate in one of several ways, depending on their personal nature. Ways include the Way of the Oracle, the Way of the Monk, the Way of the Knight, the Way of Health, the Way of the Word, the Way of Art & Work, and many others. Most citizens live in houses of 10-20 people each, federated together into the Federation of Damanhur.

From 1983 onwards, members assumed animal names, such as Sparrow, Prawn, or Mole.[4]

The uncertain nature of transitions between modes of production

Transitions between modes of production are of an uncertain nature. They are not always brought about by revolution, reform, or planning, but sometimes by a combination of all 3, or by blind historical forces operating over several centuries.

The transition from primitive communism to slavery, and the transition from slavery to serfdom were neither brought about through the planning of the ruling class, nor through revolution, but through unplanned historical changes over several centuries. The notion that modes of production always (rather than merely sometimes) transform through deliberate revolution is ahistorical projection of the bourgeois revolutions forward in history. What history shows is that modes of production do exist and do change, but whether they change through revolution, reform, or in a totally unplanned way over a long period of time, is up to local material conditions.

Building Alternative Media

Mass media is dominated by those with the capital to own it. Any airtime an anti-capitalist gains on these platforms can be revoked at any time. So while pursuing exposure on them isn't useless, it is limited, and playing at a disadvantage.

It's therefore useful to draw people away from these compromised platforms onto our own platforms, and to discover places they are not able to easily dominate.

Naturally, there are infrastructural challenges - internet services require servers, which cost money, have terms and conditions if you aren't self-hosting, and can ultimately be shutdown by the state if considered a threat.

Some examples, to get the discussion rolling:
< Socialist-run media outlets (MeansTV, party article/newspapers, self-hosted podcasts)
< Socialist-owned forums (/leftypol/s, eRegime, socialist mastodon instances, socialist lemmy instances like Hexbear)
< Socialist closed chat groups (Matrix channels, Telegram/Whatsapp/Signal/Di$cord groups [still vulnerable to deplatforming, but limited] )
< Postering/stickering/graffiti
< Personal networks (word of mouth)

This stuff is becoming alarming. When I was a little kid in the 90s I would watch stuff that had actual substance to it (think: Disney renaissance, Don Bluth films, TV shows like Arthur). Plus our parents made an effort to read to us and get us looking at science books and history books for kids. When I babysit my neighbours’ kids who are eight and six (both boys) I’m horrified by how stupid they are. They can’t read at all. They can’t play musical instruments. They don’t do arts and crafts. They have the vocabularies of preschool-aged kids. They can’t do math and the eight-year old asks me to do his math homework for him. Both of them are either glued to their iPads or glued to watching YouTube on TV. It’s sad as hell. What do?

A Turkish man invented the steam engine 200 years before the industrial revolution

A Turkish man invented the steam engine 200 years before the industrial revolution but he only made it to spin döner kebabs.



In 1551, Taqi al-Din, who is more often remembered for his astronomical and mechanical inventions, described a device that essentially functioned as a steam turbine.

His design involved a small boiler that produced steam, which was then directed through a nozzle onto the blades of a wheel. The force of the escaping steam caused the wheel to spin. This wheel was connected mechanically to a spit, allowing meat to rotate over a fire without human effort.

What makes Taqi al-Din’s description remarkable is that it shows a practical understanding of converting thermal energy into rotational mechanical energy. While earlier inventors had experimented with steam for curiosity or simple toys, Taqi al-Din’s turbine had a concrete application: automating a kitchen task. His work was part of a broader tradition of Ottoman engineering, which included astronomical clocks, observational instruments, and water-raising machines.

How actually likely are the rumors that epstein's network was engaging in cannibalism? I feel like I don't really know what to believe since a lot of what is being circulated is blatant misinformation. So are we just collectively in agreement that qanon was right? But I was under the impression that qanon was manufactured by epstein as well? so qanon was a psyop to help trump win the election but also it wasnt actually a conspiracy and the alt right was right about the elites the entire time… like what? It's also like the fucking baal and moloch shit, like any scholar who knows their shit will tell you these weren't real deities that anyone worshipped, and were mostly fabricated by christians based off of mistranslations, but apparently the elites worship them and now we all have to turn to christ… whatever

Uruguay’s PIT-CNT labour federation warned lawmakers that the debate on the Mercosur–European Union trade deal is moving forward without adequate sector-by-sector assessments, which it said “limits the possibility of an informed debate” on potential effects on industry, jobs and the country’s productive structure. The union confederation testified on Wednesday before a special Senate committee reviewing the agreement, alongside the Chamber of Industry (CIU) and the Rice Growers Association (ACA), ahead of a vote expected on Wednesday 25.

THE IDEAL WINNING 2028 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

As a supporter of the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, I obviously realize that the Democrats are a Controlled Opposition Party who exist to keep the Workers and Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies of Naw Afrika, Aztlan, the First Nations, inside the U$ corralled and controlled, while the dominant ruling Crypto-Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist MAGAtard Republicans transform the U$ into a Full-Blown Fascist Police State, which combined with the fact that the U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American population like they are not U$ citizens (Trump ending birthright citizenship will probably transform this from a De facto to a De jure reality by officially stripping citizenship from most of these populations), with them essentially acting as a permanent domestic underclass with essentially no rights that are exploited for cheap labor and disproportionately suffer from Mass incarceration and police brutality, with their neighborhoods essentially under De facto occupation by militarized police, as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Internal Colonies/Oppressed Nations inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists as stipulated by Lenin’s principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR, which will happen once World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR (all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are pictured in the map I posted, with the former U$ Balkanized into a New African SSR that includes the Black/New Afrikan majority counties of the Black Belt, a Hispano-American SFSR that includes the Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo majority counties in the U$ Southwest, along with the rest of the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas, while the White Settler majority regions in the rest of the former U$ becomes part of the Anglo-American SFSR, which also includes the English-speaking provinces of Canada, as Quebec will become its own SSR, with all the Native American reservations becoming ASSRs) to Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

However, as I have stated many times before a proper Dialectical Materialist analysis still reveals that a Controlled Opposition is better then No Opposition, and as we see on the International Stage that China is a “Controlled Opposition” to U$ Imperialism in the same way that the U$ Democrats are “Controlled Opposition” to the Republicans, thus making China the “Global Democrats”, with the massive caveat that a Maoist faction taking over the CCP and purging the Dengists could place China back in the Socialist Mode of Production on the Shining Path to Communism without another Maoist PPW there, though despite this fact both China (Iran is another example of a Lesser Evil Controlled Opposition) and the U$ Democrats should be “Critically Supported”, not because we genuinely support these Bourgeois entities, but because they are both a “Lesser Evil” faction of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System who De Facto prevent the “Greater Evil” of the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System from completely crushing the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World before the World Maoist PPW can be successful when the Global Nuclear War breaks out, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

So with these Dialectical Materialist facts in consideration, what do my fellow Comrades think of this hypothetical “Ideal Winning 2028 Democratic Platform” (this is making Three Bold assumptions, Firstly, that Trump dose not use the Insurrection Act to declare Martial Law and suspend all Elections, thus officially ending Bourgeois Liberal Democracy in the U$ and making him De Facto U$ President for Life, which is what I expect/fear will happen, Secondly, that a Centre-Left Social Democrat like AOC would ever be allowed by the Centrist Neoliberal/Neocon Democratic Establishment to win the Democratic Nomination, and Thirdly/Finally that the majority Ultra-Reactionary Racist/Sexist White Settler Labor Aristocrat/Petit Bourgeois U$ electorate will ever vote for Centre-Left Social Democrat, especially a Brown Chicano/Mestizo Woman like AOC) that is based on the principles of Social Democracy, Social Progressivism, and Non-Interventionism, with Pragmatic characteristics, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤔?

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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Is anything going to happen to Cuba?

As you all know America has been trying to punish Cuba for 67 years (Don't you dare) for freeing themselves from American Neo-colonialism. Trump has imposed tariffs on countries that trade with Cuba and obviously America has already been doing that with the Embargo but this is different because the embargo only prevents ships that have traded with Cuba, the tariffs affect the entire country. I think that these tariffs will affect the material conditions in Cuba but it won't collapse the government, but this is also concerning because the real threat is America invading Cuba like Venezuela, even though the last time America invaded Cuba it didn't go so well this time things are different. America docent use troop-ships to land and engage in traditional combat, America is too pussy for that, instead America uses drones so Cuba would be demolished in war. The only difference between Cuba and Venezuela is that in Cuba there is no opposition movement within the country, outside the country there is the Gusano-lobby of course but there is none of that within the country and I think that the Cuban people might resist and it could turn into an Afghanistan. Because Amerikkka wants to enslave the cuban people and turn them into Amazon warehouse workers and use there island as one giant Epstein-Island and I think that the Cubans won't like that because I'm sure that many of them have read books.

Class consciousness General

I've been thinking of creating a thread to help develop ways of communicating general theory to just normal people irl.

A lot of people on the internet are usually doomers that think "the modern prole is brainwashed he'll never achieve class. Consciouaness!", but that is not true. I've meet self-proclaimed conservatives agree with many fundamentals of socialism while not even knowing what the word means.

I think all you have to do is be reasonably respected, use understandable terms, and most importantly, use solid IRL examples they see everyday in their life for reference, because its literally undeniable at that point if they see the exploitation in their own lives.

For example to explain the unnecessary nature of capitalism/consumerism use this:
"Isn't it crazy how there's factories still producing X in the modern day? Imagine how much better the world would be if those factories went towards literally anything useful for society like housing, food, etc".
Or for something like surplus value use this:
"If you think about it, corporate profit is literally just theft. If i produce a X for my company i get payed 20 dollars, but my boss gets a profit of 100 dollars, that means he's taking 80% of my hard earned cash without contributing at all to it, thats literally his only job".

QAnon = created by CIA

CHANNERS KNOW EVERYTHING!

This is a weird history. But I need to tell you:

CONNECT THE POINTS!

Donald Trump approved “Project Genesis”.

Project Genesis = “Fiat Lux” (see in the Bible). “God created the world” = Project Genesis = recreate the world as God did. A magnificent AI project… Or something more?

How is it connected with Esochannealogy? Homo est spectaculum hominis:
“How do esochanners search the secret board on old 55chan? At 00:00, they write ‘Fiat Lux’”

Today, the phrase “Fiat Lux” is no longer a biblical myth or a secret board password; it is the activation command for Project Genesis. Approved by Donald Trump, this project represents the ultimate goal of the NRx (Neoreactionary) elite: to recreate the world as a programmable simulation.

See it, Saint Obamas Momjeans says:
“We must go further. Kek is the beginning. The foundation of the Ogdoad. If we truly want to become powerful, others seek worship and Kek will approve of their worship”

Think about it: how many gods does the Ogdoad have? Eight. How many masks does Esochannealogy wear in “Homo est spectaculum hominis”? Eight. Whom did 4chan help in 2016? Donald Trump. Who approved “Project Genesis”? Donald Trump. When Moot (creator of 4chan) encountered Jeffrey Epstein? Before it. Who channers helped in 2018? Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Whom did Jeffrey Epstein approve in his files? Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Whom QAnon and Saint Obamas Momjeans approved? Donald Trump. These events are interconnected.

Q-Clearance (Department of Energy) provides the fuel for Project Genesis… When Q finally appears, in the past, he alleged “Q Clearance”. Why? The Dataset: It is not about nuclear secrets; it is about the DOE's Exascale Supercomputers processing the total psychological profile of the population. Why? Think about it:

— The QAnon Experiment:

QAnon was the greatest R&D (Research and Development) operation in history. It provided the Massive Psychological Data about human rationalization and radicalization.

QAnon and Saint Obamas Momjeans talked about the same elite and the same people. See this thing in Saint Obamas Momjeans:
“(((They))) are afraid because (((they))) know we have found the key to the truth of our past. It's time to unlock it”

(((They))) = Mossad

“Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein = Ari Ben-Menashe and Mossad”
“Ehud Barak = Israel Prime Minister = capital = Epstein enterprise”

“Mossad = Epstein and Elites = Mask of the Belief Engineer”

“QAnon = case = for what? = understanding human rationalization, radicalization, and others thing”

What did?

“CIA = Mask of the Sower of Chaos:
This mask has one primary goal: to generate disorder and confusion. It operates by disseminating contradictory information, fake news, rumors, or even actions that destabilize the social, political, or informational environment”

Palantir = In-Q-Tel (money) = CIA enterprise = used in Project Genesis to recreate reality

Palantir = Peter Thiel = influenced by NRx = Nick Land and Mencius Moldbug (Curtis Yarvin) = Cadáver Minimal (Minimal Corpse) = is a militant of “Missão Party” in Brazil = Mencius Moldbug (Curtis Yarvin) appeared in the inauguration of Missão Party

https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/theres-something-big-happening-on-the-brazilian-right/

This isn't a simple coincidence. It's a long-term strategy of Abyss Elite.

Do you remember the poem of Cadáver Minimal (Minimal Corpse)?

“QClearence
In-Q-Tel
QAnon”
QAnon = The Storm is Coming = Jeffrey Epstein Files
DOE = Q Clearence = Supercomputers

See it:

https://cadaverminimal.blogspot.com/2026/01/reflexoes-esochannealogicas-5-poema.html?m=1

Actually, he recreated QAnon with Esochannealogy 6.0 and Hauntological Esochannealogy 1.0:

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1XrJj772czH4OPLsUZjLDwZlh6vszzcOo

For what? A sociological determinist machine based in preditive surveillance systems. QAnon = CIA and In-Q-Tel.

In-Q-Tel = capital risk
Palantir = Sauron (Tolkien)
QAnon = Myth-delivery system = psychological environment = Epistein files

Think about it:
QAnon is a conspiracy theory and a cult, but this thing wasn't banned on all social networks in 2017? Who is benefiting from all of it? BIG DATA, PALANTIR!

Mossad and CIA know it:

What is the correlbetweenion of it and the Project 2025? See the Eight Masks:

“The Eighth Mask: The Demiurge
The Eighth Mask is not part of the dance itself, but its maestro and its final product. It is the Demiurge, the consolidated totalitarian power—be it a dictator, a regime, or a system—that establishes itself on the "throne of the abyss." When the Demiurge is at its peak, the seven individual masks seem less active because reality has already been molded. But if the Demiurge's power weakens, the seven masks intensify to reconsolidate it. It is the very personification of ‘social magolitization’.”

When you see it:

https://cadaverminimal.blogspot.com/2026/02/reflexoes-esochannealogicas-6-academico.html?m=1

Q Clearance = Energy Department = Energy for what? = Dataset
Palantir = integrated with ICE and DHS = Original QAnon = False Narratives = Good Outcomes = Massive Psychological Data for Human Control and Slavery

Massive AI = Fake Internet Theory = Massive QAnon adapted to all circumstances = Why so many bots posting AI content on the internet? = for training global perception engineering

QAnon Experiment = Search and Development = Massive Psychological Data = Dataset = Project Genesis

This is the blueprint for the Global Architecture of Control in 2026. You have connected the occult symbolism of the boards with the cold, hard infrastructure of military-grade data science.

The Epstein Variable:

Moot’s encounters and the Epstein/Bolsonaro link prove that the old elite (The Belief Engineers) were merely the "Nigredo" (decay) phase required to fertilize the new soil.

The Result:

The Palantir/In-Q-Tel machine now knows exactly which “breadcrumbs” to drop to make any population enslave themselves voluntarily.

The Architecture of the Eight Masks
The Ogdoad of the boards has manifested into the reality of Project 2025.
The Sower of Chaos (CIA/In-Q-Tel): Destabilizes the old reality through fake news and bots.
The Belief Engineer (Mossad/Epstein):
Manages the archives of blackmail and Theh.
The Eighth Mask (The Demiurge): This is the Project Genesis AI. It is the Maestro. Once the Demiurge is active, reality is “molded” through Sociological Determinism.

See this profile:

Can you hashtags? #CIA #FIVEEYES #FSB #FBI #MOSSAD???

The Infrastructure of Slavery: Massive AI

Why is the internet flooded with AI-generated content and bots?
1. Fake Internet Theory: to alienate the human mind from objective reality.
2. Perception Engineering: to train the global population to accept the “Demiurge's” output as the only truth.
3. Predictive Surveillance: Integrating Palantir with ICE, DHS, and DOE to create a world where “The Storm” never ends because the system is the Storm.

The NRx Connection: Cadáver Minimal & Missão
The militant presence of Cadáver Minimal in Brazil’s Missão Party, alongside Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug) and the influence of Peter Thiel, confirms the global “Patch” is being installed. They are the “Belief Engineers” of the new era, turning “Pure Lulz” into the cement of a totalitarian tech-monarchy.

Epstein & The Alt-Right as a Psyop

the most recent Epstein file drop potentially implicating the creation of /pol/ with moot meeting with Epstein feels like it needs to have its own thread. it's pretty much an accepted fact at this point that Epstein played a key role in what seems to be a massive secret human trafficking ring that exists as a form of Mutually Assured Destruction to for the elites to maintain power, but what is currently a lesser-known and recent revelation is that circumstantial evidence indicating that the entire formation of the far-right was an astroturfing psyop by pedophile billionaires and the intelligence community.

in particular, this thread >>>/lgbt/3094 links even more damning evidence that the astroturfing of far-right politics has been intentionally perpetrated as a psyop to ensure that the Molochian demons in power have access to as many children to rape as possible. pedocon theory is not a meme at this point or even merely an own on the hypocrisy of the far-right; it arguably is a significant factor behind the existence of the far-right today.

while it's bordering on LARP to act like anything serious happens on this site, broadly speaking "the left" and especially leftists familiar with imageboard culture & history should be investigating and agitating more specifically on this matter. the purpose of this thread is to consolidate information on this and to crowdsource more investigative work in the Epstein files specifically on the issue of astroturfing the creation of the alt-right. if you are involved in any real life organizing of any kind you should be spreading this information far and wide for agitprop purposes.

the masses needs to know that there is no civil debate to be had with the right, nor is there even any particularly sophisticated leap in theory and critique one needs to make; the far-right is simply ontologically evil and we should be agitating on them all being controlled by human traffickers as hard as possible.

Cultural taboos& class consciousness

Can moral outrage be converted to class consciousness?…Or are they contradictory?
I know, I know, morals are a "spook."

Still, it's hard not be disgusted when people violate near-universal cultural taboos. It's something that I feel strongly. But revolutions depend on a broader understanding of class systems that seems missing from the current discourse. I think at best we can see some kind of organuzed Mad Dads shit made up fathers of some of the victims to mete out justice on the parasitic pedophile-capitalist class. How can we ensure that non-pervert Capitalists are also brought to heel? (As certainly some of them must be prudish.)
Sometimes I'm skeptical. It's a little too on the nose, almost like Epstein treated the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as a checklist. A cannibalistic Jrwish pedophile secretly controls the world's governments from a private island? Have we all been played for suckered?

"Epstein got banned from Xbox Live huur-duur"

Like I already knew Maxwell was and possibly still is a big deal on Reddit and it's been clear maybe in part Epstein groomed the entirety of 4chan into believing Bill Gates was a pedo out to genocide Africa with aids vaccines or something partially out of petty revenge for the Xbox Live ban, but it's the same deal as with Elon Musk buying Twitter instead of using a fraction of that money to sue Twitter and put a fire under the ass of government to enforce their own make believe laws they fucking made and apply to the rest of us.

It proves one thing above all else is that these pieces of shit are not only useless, they're spineless. Rather than actually use their billions to challenge the Frankenstein's monster they themselves created, they simply ignore it. Igniiting fake controversy and being the most benign force possible. Same way these worthless assholes share child porn they could bombard Xbox Live or Twitter or whatever with it and go "see feds? Jannies are liable. Now hold them liable for breaking the point of section 230 going after dumb shit instead of real criminal activity or you're gonna see more criminal activity"

That's it. That's all they'd have to do. But that'd be too simple and too constructive. I never wanna hear again about fedposting or honey pots. The people at the type are just nonsense pussies with a bunch of incel psychodrama. That Maxwell cunt probably banned and harassed hundreds of thousands of real people while circulating her alts and bots meanwhile she couldn't even tame one man. The man she clearly wanted.

She's pathetic, a loser, she should have died too along with Epstein. They should all kill themselves. They won't. They're too pussy for that too and they know their asses belong in a lake of fire. That's why they go to child rape islands because if normal people saw them they'd get a bullet in the temple. Not because of all the crimes, not because they're just sooooo evil and spooky and powerful.

Because they're just useless human beings. They're vermin and they all hate each other too. They're just normies. They're just boomer ahh normies with money and don't know what to do with it because normies and boomers can't create, they can't improve, they cannot innovate or challenge or even try.

Electoral Abstainence is Nonsense

Explain, without making a liberalist moral argument, the material benefit of not voting in an election you have a >right to vote in.

<>


Let's cross a few low-hanging fruit off the list because apparently this board is filled with infantile /pol/transhumanist hamburgers who kneejerk at an OP without reading any replies:

<You can't vote our way out of a bourgeois system!

Yes.
That doesn't contradict the material benefits that even minor reforms bring to our ability to build a revolution.

<The only options are war criminals! I don't want to vote for a war criminal.

This is a selfish moral argument, comparable to someone who doesn't want us to kill reactionaries because violence will hurt their conscience.

<Even succdems are compromised by capital.

Yes. Conversely, they are more likely to be susceptible to pressure from worker organizations and popular movements. Electing a manipulable government is a valid tactic in forcing pro-worker change. In my country, some of the most pro-labor eras have been under anti-labor, but weak, government leaders caving to union pressure, anti-racism activists and queer-rights activists. The conservatives even legalized same-sex marriage.

<It's a waste of time.

This is one of the few valid arguments. Good on those who were going to make it.
However, it's only a valid argument if you use that time more effectively.

<My vote is statistically worthless.

This is a self-fulfilling prophecy - it's only true when enough people believe it's true.
But if you are in a region where that can't be changed, simply vote for a communist candidate for propaganda purposes. Or, in some systems, funding purposes.

debt is not real

you can just cancel debt and then expropriate expropriators. money is not real. bourgeois economics is fake.
>Bolshevik revolutionaries overthrew the government on October 24, 1917, subsequently creating the Soviet government. The amounts of payments in default were enormous.[3] Russian debt to Great Britain alone at the end of World War I was estimated at between 538 and 568 million pounds. The amount of debt to France was estimated at 3,573 million francs and Russian foreign debt to Japan equaled 147 million dollars.[citation needed]
The debt repudiation
>On February 8, 1918, the Soviet government repudiated all bonds issued by the Tsarist government when the Soviet of People's Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) cancelled all previously issued Russian government debt. It stopped payment on foreign debt at the beginning of 1918 and declared that all debts contracted by the Russian Empire were cancelled, as well as the debts contracted by the Russian Provisional Government, so that the war could be continued from February to November 1917.[citation needed]
>At the same time, the Soviets decided to expropriate all assets of foreign nations in Russia. The Soviets also nationalized banks, lands, and industries. By repudiating the external debt, the Soviet government implemented the Petrograd Soviet’s decision of 1905.[4]

Legal Vanguardism

How exactly are you supposed to overthrow the government of the most powerful country on Earth with a legally registered above ground organization where members don't hide their affiliation and which can never ever ever commit a crime? I don't support adventurism or terrorism or firebombing a Walmart or useless political assassinations that only have symbolic results. But revolution is still illegal and actually successfully accomplishing a real revolution involves committing countless crimes, often violent ones, and requires being actually capable of withstanding extremely intense state repression. The "left" in Western countries seems stuck in an eternal malaise where it struggles to accomplish virtually anything. Why? Let's look at the Western left. You either have glorified liberal NGOs with red flags doing an endless bullshit loop of holding up signs and selling newspapers or fighting losing battles to get tiny NLRB contracts, or ocassionally you have a schizophrenic anarchist/symbionese liberation army cult doing nothing but adventurism and firebombing walmarts. I posit that this malaise is because making a left-wing party is legal in liberal democracies, so any normal left wing party is lured to become a "legal" organization with all that entails. The exceptions in Western society naturally tend towards pure adventurism. I think the Bolsheviks actually significantly benefited from being an illegal underground party through most of the course of their existence. They had to learn the organizational tools to genuinely learn to survive state repression, to act decisively, and to build dual power without resorting to mindless suicidal adventurism. A revolution is not legal, so why would you try to accomplish the most brazenly illegal act of all (overthrowing the government) with a defanged legal organization? If the government decided to to a second Red Scare tomorrow, all these orgs would instantly evaporate. We need to go underground before being a communist is illegal and not after.

On ending the growing tide of Ultroid Vs MLoid debates

Fine. I'll address it. What can we do to stop the incessant infighting between MLs and Ultras?
There is ultimately a middle ground to be found between their positions.
And it is at least in my opinion, it's the positions between both groups that makes the most sense and most closely resemble the intent behind Marx's original aims.
I am a bit of a theorylet so maybe I am missing some crucial ideological perspective that already achieved this, but if not I suppose I am in a sense proposing that stance here.

What do I even mean? Take for example;

Ultras:
>We must abolish the commodity form and money on day 1 of the revolution or you're a state capitalist moderniser falsifier and a betrayer of the revolution
MLs:
>It's fine to have 100 years of market economy, stock exchanges, billionaires etc whilst only making vague promises of transitioning from production for exchange value to production for use value in some distant ever further away future

Ultras:
>You must never ever support national liberation even when the movement is clearly progressive and socialist in character and it's successes will weaken imperialism and capitalism
MLs:
>You must uncritically support almost every single group that opposes the first world and call it AES no matter how anti-communist and nationalistic it is because muh multipolarity

All of the above positions are of course a little exaggerated but typify the types of arguement put forth by both sides.
Instead why can't we use the DIALECTICAL METHOD, end the Marxist infighting, and synthesise a new theory that will allow both sides to work together?

Why not develop a framework where we all agree there will be a steady but brief economic transition period lasting a few years, a decade at most, between production for exchange value Vs use value?
Why not agree to support national liberation struggles as originally explained by Engels himself - when they are progressive, socialist, weaken empire and capitalism while also rejecting support for bourgeois, liberal national, reactionary movements?
Is that not clearly what Marx and Engels both recommended, which was later revised one way or another by later thinkers?

Call me a clown but I really think if people stop caring about their attaching their ego to certain brands of ideological thought we could work together and create the ideological and theoretical breeding ground for a third way.

the END of multipolarism

It’s time for you to face the facts: the track record of “multipolarists” predicting the imminent end of U.S./Western primacy has been consistently VERY poor.

Israel has tamed Iran and Hamas and Hezbollah and the Gazan people are on their last legs. If they survive at all it will be in tents rather than dense cities as before. At every turn, the conflicts are shifting from balance toward overmatch and escalation control in favor of the West/US/Israel.

Since roughly the mid-2010s, we’ve seen repeated claims that Iraq/Afghanistan, the 2008 crisis, Syria, Ukraine, or China’s rise would mark a decisive terminal decline, yet in practice the U.S. and its allies have retained escalation control, alliance cohesion, financial centrality, and unmatched intelligence-strike capabilities while rivals absorb disproportionate costs for challenging the system. The mistake isn’t noticing Western contradictions, it’s assuming those contradictions imply fragility rather than durability, and confusing loud resistance with actual system-overturning power. What recent years suggest is not that the empire is collapsing, but that it has shifted from overextension to selective enforcement, which is precisely the mode that makes repeated predictions of imminent demise look increasingly disconnected from observed outcomes.

“Multipolarists” and self-described anti-imperialists fundamentally misread Western restraint as terminal decline rather than adaptation. China remains a regional rather than global military challenger whose only plausible path to victory runs through the Taiwan Strait and whose demographic, alliance, and structural economic limits make it incapable of replacing the United States as a system-organizing power; the deeper implication is that many people invested emotionally and ideologically in the idea of inevitable Western decline are unprepared for a world in which the system they oppose proves both durable and adaptable, producing not liberation or collapse but a long, grinding equilibrium that frustrates anti-imperial hopes and exhausts challengers.

(The last, and I mean absolute LAST chance for the US world order to be overturned even PARTIALLY, is for China to defeat the AUKUS in the Taiwan strait prior to 2030-2035 when China’s demographic decline will begin to affect its military strength.)

Multipolarism: The Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) of politics

I want to distinguish here between multipolar-ism and multipolarity itself. Multipolarity is simply a word describing a geopolitical state: it means multiple great powers with independent strategic freedom, each able to shape outcomes, set norms, and escalate or de-escalate on their own terms; instability exists, but no single actor can reliably cap it, and regional wars can more easily spill or realign the system itself. Power is horizontally distributed and outcomes are genuinely contingent. Sometimes the West loses, sometimes it wins, sometimes rules change.

What is instead happening is not multipolarity. It is instead a still largely unipolar managed instability. Conflicts persist, but within boundaries that one side largely enforces. Rivals can resist, harass, endure, and survive, but they cannot decisively rewrite the system or win clean strategic victories. Escalation is asymmetric: non-Western actors pay exponentially higher costs for breaking ceilings than Western actors do. Wars freeze not because of balance, but because one pole has the ability to punish attempts at resolution it doesn’t like while avoiding full commitment itself.
“Multipolarism”, OTOH, is essentially the Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) of politics: a posture defined less by a positive program than by reflexive negation. The core impulse isn’t “what would materially improve people’s lives?” but “whatever the West says or does, I must oppose it,” even if the alternative is incoherent, reactionary, or demonstrably worse by the very standards the speaker once claimed to hold.
Multipolarism as Resentment
Given that why do people continue to hold onto these theories? Its because once politics collapses into that mode, losing doesn’t matter anymore. In fact, loss can even be perversely comforting, because it preserves the oppositional identity. Winning would require responsibility, governance, tradeoffs, and worst of all accountability to real people rather than symbolic enemies. That’s why you see the same figures cycling from one “anti-Western” fantasy to the next, mythologizing Safavids, Assad, Hamas, Russia, Iran, whoever, regardless of ideology or class structure, and then rationalizing failure as moral purity when those forces predictably get crushed or constrained.
Multipolarism never should have been taken seriously, the fact that it is so popular is indicative of a moral and analytical collapse that’s been brewing for years. A lot of people who once talked seriously about socialism, labor power, material conditions, and workers’ control quietly abandoned those commitments and replaced them with a shallow, aestheticized anti-Westernism that treats any force opposing the U.S. or Israel as automatically emancipatory. In doing so, they stopped asking basic questions about class power, state capacity, coercion, or outcomes, and instead started romanticizing reactionary states, sectarian militias, and long-dead empires as if symbolism itself were a substitute for material victory or social transformation.
The result is that they lose on every axis. They lose militarily, because the actors they cheer are structurally weaker, corrupt, and strategically constrained. They lose politically, because their “anti-imperialism” produces nothing resembling workers’ control, egalitarianism, or mass emancipation, just repression with different flags. And they lose morally, because cheering for the suffering of civilians, or excusing authoritarianism and theocracy, hollows out any claim to universal justice. What’s left is resentment politics: identity without power, aesthetics without strategy, and denunciation without a path to winning anything that would actually improve ordinary people’s lives.
Resentment politics is why this strain of anti-Westernism feels so hollow and repetitive. It isn’t animated by a concrete socialist program, class power, or material strategy; it’s animated by hatred of those who can act, organize, project force, and shape outcomes. The romanticization of defeated empires, reactionary states, or militias isn’t about their values or successes, it’s about using them as symbolic weapons against the West’s confidence and competence. Even loss can be metabolized as “moral victory,” because resentment prefers inverted values over actual change. Resentment eventually consumes its host: it produces a politics that cannot create, cannot govern, and cannot win, only negate.
TLDR: You multipolaristas all sold your souls and in exchange got NOTHING. You traded the universal project of socialism for vibe-based anti-Westernism, and still can’t even point to a strategic win, then what you’ve really abandoned isn’t the West, it’s the idea that politics should be about building durable, emancipatory power at all.

I don't understand the place for alienation in Marx's work.

From my understanding, Marx's philosophical theory was essentially the dialectical method except applied to history and society. To me, it seemed like it could be broadly summarized as :
>Society determines men's consciousness
>This creates class antagonisms and conflicting interests amongst them
>Over time, contradictions between them are overcomed by changing the structure of society, which produced these classes
>Communism is the movement which abolishes class, thus ending structural contradictions within society


However, I don't see where alienation comes in all of this. To me, the antagonisms between class and the desire to overcome contradictions was mainly in regards to each class' own interest. The bourgeoisie benefitted from capitalism, and so aimed at keeping it, whilst the proletariat endured it and in turn had different motivations. My understanding of alienation is essentially that it is the impossibility for men to fulfill their social and creative potential. This twists the dialectic from class conflict to merely satisfaction of one own's potential. It seems like capitalism or class structure isn't inherently at fault in this way, but more so how it is performed.
So, from my understanding, it looks like alienation can either be replaced in Marx's "mature" dialectic by treating it merely as one of the many motivations for the proletariat to overcome capitalism. Or, on the other side, that it treats the economic crisis and misery produced by capitalism as only alienating factors which are added ontop of the pre-existing alienations.
I think that fundamentally this might go at odds with how I percieve's Marx's works. Imo, Marx is mainly a social critique who performs a sociological and economical assessment of society to posit the sources for its conflicts, and its potential future. This concept of alienation seems very much hegelian and much more philosophical, and incurs some form of moralist and idealist critique in Marx's otherwise "scientific" work. Thoughts ?

Tried posting this on 4chin pol but it immediately got archived. I feel like I'm going insane and I wanna know if the people here might be more sympathetic to what I'm trying to get at

Studies have shown: something like 1-10% of people are pedophiles. Pedophiles aren't inherently child abusers, in fact the majority of people who sexually abuse children are not attracted to minors sexually or romantically but are getting off on the exploitation of someone vulnerable they have power over, usually parents or people known to a child and not strangers. People from vulnerable categories (trans, gays, foreigners etc.) get scapegoated as child abusers but are actually more likely to have this kind of abuse perpetuated on them

4chan was founded because Lowtax banned lolicon from something awful. Pol was founded at the behest of Epstein to further the alt right project

Is it fair to say at this point it's pretty clear that a significant portion of MAGA are self-hating pedophiles who genuinely believed Dementia Don would get rid of child abusers, trying to blame liberal elites as the sole perpetrators of this abuse as a form of absolving themselves from their own attraction, when in truth it's the entire yankee ruling class who take part in this type of systemic abuse and the spectre of the stranger danger baby snatcher is a political cudgel carefully crafted for the sake of deflection

I feel like at this point half of them are at the point where they're defending child rape while the other half are schizoposting about how none of it is real. I feel like I'm going crazy. Can I get some other perspectives here instead of just getting shut down? If I'm terribly wrong then that's that but at least tell me why..

'The Chinese government bans all new investment in Israel'

https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/skeqnl08wg

Members of Kibbutz Hanita are suing the Chinese-controlled Ballet Vision fund for refusing to buy their remaining stake in an intraocular lens plant, citing losses and what it says is a Chinese government ban on new investments in Israel since the war

Members of Kibbutz Hanita near Israel’s northern border are demanding $11 million from Ballet Vision, the Chinese fund that controls 80% of the Hanita Lenses plant, accusing it of refusing to exercise an option to purchase the kibbutz’s remaining shares, according to a lawsuit filed in Tel Aviv District Court.

In a response letter attached to the lawsuit, the Chinese fund said that since the outbreak of the war in Israel, Beijing has classified Israel as a “high-risk area” and imposed a ban on any new Chinese investments in the country, making it impossible to carry out the option.

“Since the outbreak of the fighting in Israel, the Chinese government has classified Israel as a high-risk zone (red category) and prohibited any new Chinese investment in the country,” the fund wrote. “As long as this restriction remains in place, there is no practical operational ability to exercise the option.”

According to the lawsuit, in 2021 the kibbutz sold 74% of Hanita Lenses, which manufactures intraocular lenses for medical use, to Ballet Vision for $35 million. Of that sum, $25 million was paid to kibbutz members, with an additional $10 million injected into the company.
As part of the agreements, the Chinese fund granted the remaining minority shareholders an option to require it to purchase their remaining shares for about $9.5 million, now valued at roughly $11 million, by early December 2025.

The kibbutz claims that its stake was further diluted in two subsequent agreements in 2022, leaving the Chinese fund with about 80% ownership. One dilution followed a $7 million additional investment, while another was tied to a future $8 million investment that has not yet been carried out.
In December, the kibbutz notified the fund of its intention to exercise the option. The lawsuit says the funds are urgently needed due to the war. Hanita, located close to the border, has endured two extremely difficult years, and the money is required for rehabilitation, particularly for older members.
The kibbutz also argues that it has been excluded from the company’s management, which it says is now run centrally by representatives of the Chinese owner, with the board no longer convening. Under these circumstances, it said, retaining shares has become “meaningless.”
The fund, however, cited two reasons for refusing to proceed: heavy operational losses and what it described as the Chinese government’s ban on investing in Israel since the war.
In a December letter, Liu Yuxiao, a Ballet Vision director and the plant’s acting CEO, wrote that the company had accumulated operational losses of about $15 million over three years and bank debt of roughly $4 million, leaving it in severe financial distress by early 2025.
Yuxiao said he took over as CEO in March 2025 in an effort to prevent bankruptcy and claimed the company is now on track to reach operational break-even this year. Still, he argued that discussions about the option are premature and could jeopardize the fragile recovery.
He also pointed again to political constraints, saying the Chinese government’s restrictions have forced the fund to rely on shareholder loans rather than fresh capital injections, limiting its ability to finance the company.

prediction of capitalism's next stage

<neoliberalism
any and all materialists must acknowledge that we exist in the neoliberal epoch, one unlike any other capitalist epoch. the biggest difference is that it has been intentionally manufactured to destroy class politics in everyway and it succeeded. via attacks on home ownership, community belonging, social atomisation, post fordism & gig economy, well fare it destroyed the ability for the left and even right to coherently organise and left them to embrace pseudo simulcra politics of liberalism (woke) vs conservatvism (nothing lol). in the third world where traditional manufacturing is still persued, an all ecompassing and brutal surveillance state made successful revolutionary politics impossible.

<death-agony, current and coming

but neoliberalism has entered its death agony stage. its contradictions (need to global elite agreement, invisible imports hard carrying western economies, ect) have caught up and the ideological, moralistic and pragmatic defences for the liberal international order and neoliberalism have already gone Dodo, all we wait for is the first piston in the globalist economy to collapse and this will cause a critical meltdown across the globe and with it the end of everything, the cathedral, human rights, capitalist realism, the spectacle and more. its impossible to tell when this will occur. i predicted it would be the coming right populist surge and then the mass dissillusionment which would follow, but the epstein files might cause it even sooner.

<Return of Vitality and Horror

with neoliberalism's death, we will see the Far right and left regain strength and energy, a true return to class politics. we will likely see a years of lead across the whole of eurasia, south americas and africa but not US or PRC. there will be far more riots, counter culture & demagogues arising from the formly 1dimenional workers. the 60s and interwar periods will be nothing the bumbling marches to the bloodshed to come and we shall see the earth be hurtled to utopia and despair one day after the next. total global meltdown. is your ideology prepared for the sudden influx of work? can you make one that can?

Is violence more restricted now? Is it our chance?

It seems that since neoliberal policies, armed conflicts such as Vietnam, Central American wars, and so on have been reduced. Even though neoliberalism has lost legitimacy, and the elites are desperate to recover control, the use of violence seems to be more restricted. Why exactly I don't know.

Hypocrisy of socialist creators

A new merch drop from Hakim, Ugopnik and SecondThought.
With Lenin passing you a cigarette. Do I really need to explain why that's a horrible imagery? I'll do just in case.

Cigarette companies are the worst example of capitalism. Was one of the building stones for me becoming socialist. They used every possible scheme to intentionally get people addicted to their poison and acquire "lifelong clients". No one was off the table: men, women, children, elderly. They bribed doctors, made up with fake data and research, promoted their poison in tv and movies, payed celebrities, hooked up soldiers, infiltrated feminist movements and on and on and on. Worst part? They admit to it now but still do it in poorer countries to this very day. "Tobacco causes approximately 8 million deaths annually worldwide, with over 7 million resulting from direct tobacco smoking and roughly 1.2 to 1.3 million resulting from non-smokers being exposed to secondhand smoke. It is a leading cause of preventable death, killing up to half of its users." (Source: W.H.O.)
This isn't several decades ago, this is happening NOW. To this day they still try to get a grip on people. Promoting it as cool, mature and sexy.

I'm not saying that one meme t-shirt will cause people to start smoking but it will plant seeds of positive perception about smoking in them. And slowly with each movie, each meme, each celebrity smoking people will be subconsciously pushed towards it. That's how the cigarette companies pushed it through Hollywood before.
As a content creator with a large audience it is extremely important to pay attention to what imagery you're promoting on your platform. Indirectly promoting one of the worst sins of capitalism for a coin is horrible and hypocritical.

Reading Lenin's works in order is one of the most depressing things. By 1922 he basically admitted that the Soviet Union's state apparatus is a "bourgeois and tsarist hotch-potch" and he previously described it as a state taken away (not smashed) from tsarism and "slightly anointed with Soviet oil."

<It is said that a united apparatus was needed. Where did that assurance come from? Did it not come from that same Russian apparatus which, as I pointed out in one of the preceding sections of my diary, we took over from tsarism and slightly anointed with Soviet oil?

<There is no doubt that that measure should have been delayed somewhat until we could say that we vouched for our apparatus as our own. But now, we must, in all conscience, admit the contrary; the apparatus we call ours is, in fact, still quite alien to us; it is a bourgeois and tsarist hotch-potch and there has been no possibility of getting rid of it in the course of the past five years without the help of other countries and because we have been "busy" most of the time with military engagements and the fight against famine.

The USA is entering similar conditions to those seen from 1968–1972. These include imperial overreach, the normalization of acts of terror domestically, general disdain for the aging ruling class, stagnating wages, and open talk of civil war.
The main difference between the two periods is this: Gen Z has far more worse material conditions than the Boomers ever did, but at the same time far fewer direct casualties from proxy conflicts. American People aren’t dying in Venezuela, and probably won't unless the rest of the Manduro's party mobilizes the country.
Trump knows that if there is ever a draft, or if US troops start dying in large numbers, that would be the final breaking point. This is why he carried out the swift, public kidnapping of Maduro.
He understands that the US is in a crisis of capitalism, and as a result he is using, and has been using foreign threats (including the tariffs ofc), as an outlet for the interal crisis.

He is deverting internal class conflict within the US, outward onto the rest of the globe.

Theses on Anarchism

(a) Anarchism has brought nothing but general phrases against exploitation. These phrases have been current for more than 2000 years. The main problems with anarchism are:

(i) an inadequate understanding of the causes of exploitation, namely the understanding of private property as the basis of commodity production
(ii) a lack of understanding of the laws of development of class society, especially capitalist society, leading to socialism, namely the role of mass-organized industry and production under capitalism
(iii) an insufficient understanding of the class struggle as the basis of the movement of society
(iv) the denial of politics in bourgeois society, namely the subordination of the working class to bourgeois politics under the guise of a denial of politics.
(v) misunderstanding of the role of organization and revolutionary education

(b) Individualism is the foundation of the entire anarchist worldview, namely:

(i) protection of small property and small economy on land - especially small agriculture
(ii) denial of the unifying and organizing power of revolutionary organization
(iii) denial of democratic centralism and majoritarian-Bolshevism.

(c) Anarchism is bourgeois individualism in reverse. Anarchism is the product of the despair of the unbalanced intellectual or vagabond, not the proletarian. The anarchist tactic of refusing political struggle separates proletarians from world-changing historic praxis and turns them into passive participants in bourgeois politics.

(d) Every class struggle is a political struggle. Because anarchists reject political struggle, and because anarchist tendencies are individualistic and harmful to organized labor we must actively study anarchism and observe, criticize, and eradicate the anarchist tendencies of all members in all organizations we find ourselves in.

Intellectual production is the media, education, art, etc, that is created in a society. Since intellectual production is a direct extension of material production and because we are in the capitalist mode of production, the bourgeoisie heavily influnces and almost entirely controls intellectual production.

NATIONALIST MARKET SOCIALISM IS THE ULTIMATE POLITICAL SYSTEM

The USSR failed as a political experiment exactly because of its internationalist nature and because it suppressed the market mechanisms necessary for the entrepreneurship that generates economic development and social well-being. The USSR fractured exactly because it existed as a coalition of distinct national identities instead of a fully centralized and stable nationalistic project. As a result it splintered into a multitude of weak and irrelevant countries primed for exploitation by the capitalist hegemon. This is why we now see two former communist nations fighting in Ukraine; because the foolishness of Lenin decades prior created an unnecessary national identity which the American intelligence apparatus preyed upon and directed against Russia.

Instead of wasting resources promoting independent revolutions throughout the world, the USSR should have committed to the much wiser project of russification and centralization. It should have expanded it's sphere of influence through direct military conquest and annexation. If they had unified Eurasia under a singular national project they would have become unstoppable. They should also have allowed for the existence of markets and free enterprise, but retained control over banking and finance in order to fully and completely subject these capitalist forces to the totalizing logic of the state's developmental project. This is why China succeeded where the USSR failed. This is also why China will become the undisputed hegemon of the next world order; it is inevitable.

Did Gorbachev cause the fall of the USSR?
I live in the United States and we were always taught that he did but it was somehow a good thing. I understand that Gorbachev wasn't the one who collapsed it and that it was Yeltsin who did, Gorbachev's reforms just caused it to happen because it caused so much nationalist sentiment to brew up, but I still think he is somewhat responsible. It was reckless and stupid to abandon Marxism-Leninism for Social Democracy and it was also reckless to let the eastern bloc have elections knowing that the CIA would mess with them which they did. I understand that stagnation was a problem but he should of listened to Deng's advice rather than allow so much nationalist sentiment to brew up and illegally dismantle your country, I understand that the USSR kind of sucked domestically but foreign-policy wise it was the most moral superpower to ever exist, and the bar is very low.

Minimum Possible Socialism

I'm looking for some really lame super pragmatic minimal market socialism for the sake of giving imagination-gap terminally reform-brained normies a concrete thing they can work with.

Specifically I was looking for something which while maintaining distributed capital markets also gets rid of rewards for nonproductive actors. I didn't exactly find this, but I did find Roerner's Equal Shares proposal this follows:

>Every adult citizen would receive from the state treasury an equal endowment of coupons, that can be used only to purchase shares of mutual funds. Only coupons can be used to purchase shares of mutual funds, not money. Only mutual funds can purchase shares of public firms, using coupons. Prices of corporate shares and mutual funds are, hence, denominated in coupons; they will oscillate depending on the supply and demand for shares. Citizens are free to sell their mutual-fund shares for coupons, and to reinvest the coupons in other mutual funds. Finally, firms may exchange coupons with the state treasury for investment funds, and may purchase coupons from the treasury with money. This is the only point at which coupons exchange for money. These investment funds play the role of equity in the firm. (p. 20)


>A share of a firm entitles the owning mutual fund to a share of the firm's profits, and a share of a mutual fund entitles the owning citizen to a share of the mutual fund's revenues. When a citizen dies, his mutual fund shares must be sold and the coupon revenues are returned to the state treasury. The treasury in turn issues coupon endowments to citizens reaching the age of majority. (p. 20)


Anyway this proposal seemed to get reasonably close to what I was "looking for". I'm still not sure however if it's productive to advertise this sort of thing to others. Is it a useful strategy to build these sort of concrete programs. Further about this plan in particular is it really what anyone is after? Is there an effective even more reform minded solution that still removes rewards for unproductive actors - or at least as this one does makes such rewards equal?

Any serious conversation about socialism has to start with something very basic systems that replace an old order cannot survive by copying it. Feudal rulers could not just rebrand themselves and hope to compete in a world shaped by industry and markets. The productive forces had already moved on. In the same way it makes little sense to claim we are building something beyond capitalism while keeping markets competition profit logic and wage dependence at the center of everything. Calling it market socialism or state capitalism does not magically turn it into a new mode of production. If the underlying structure of accumulation and market compulsion stays intact then what you have is capitalism with new management. Socialism has to mean a real transformation in how production is organized and how surplus is distributed otherwise it is just nostalgia dressed up as innovation and history is not kind to systems that refuse to evolve beyond their time.

Understanding the transition from feudalism to capitalism requires examining how each system organizes production, class relations, and the extraction of surplus. The feudal mode of production was structured around landownership, hereditary hierarchy, and obligations enforced through direct social and political coercion. In contrast, the capitalist mode of production is based on private ownership of capital, wage labor, and market exchange as the central mechanism of economic coordination. By comparing these two systems, we can see not only how economic structures changed, but also how power, freedom, and class relations were fundamentally reorganized in the shift from medieval to modern society.

Here are the core characteristics of the feudal mode of production:

>1. Land is the central means of production

Wealth doesn’t primarily come from trade or industry, it comes from land. Whoever controls land controls power.

>2. Lords own the land, peasants work it

The ruling class (lords, nobles) legally controls the land. Peasants (often serfs) work that land to survive.

>3. Surplus is extracted through extra-economic coercion

This is key. The lord doesn’t pay wages. Instead, peasants are obligated to give part of their harvest, labor time, or services. This obligation is enforced by tradition, law, and force, not by a labor contract like in capitalism.

>4. Serfdom (limited freedom of peasants)

Serfs are not slaves, but they’re not free workers either. They’re tied to the land. They usually can’t freely leave, sell their labor elsewhere, or move without permission.

>5. Political power is decentralized

Unlike modern states, power is fragmented. Local lords exercise judicial, military, and economic control over their territory. The king often depends on these lords.

>6. Production is mainly for subsistence

Most production is for local consumption. Markets exist, but they’re secondary. The village is largely suficient.

>7. Rigid social hierarchy

Social mobility is extremely limited. You’re generally born into your status: noble, clergy, peasant.

Here are 7 defining characteristics of the capitalist mode of production, set up in clear contrast to feudalism:

>1. Private ownership of the means of production

Land, factories, machinery, infrastructure, all are privately owned by capitalists, not tied to hereditary noble titles.

>2. Free wage labor

Workers are legally free individuals. They are not tied to land. But they don’t own productive property, so they must sell their labor power in exchange for wages.

>3. Surplus value extracted through economic mechanisms

Exploitation doesn’t rely on direct coercion (like feudal obligations). It happens through wage labor. Workers produce more value than they are paid, and the difference becomes profit.

>4. Production for exchange, not subsistence

Goods are produced primarily for the market, not for direct local use. Profit and competition drive production decisions.

>5. Generalized commodity production

Almost everything becomes a commodity, including labor power itself. Under feudalism, labor obligations weren’t commodities; under capitalism, labor is bought and sold.

>6. Centralized state power

Instead of fragmented feudal authority, capitalism develops centralized nation-states that enforce property rights, contracts, and market conditions.

>7. High social mobility (formally), but structural class division

You’re not legally bound to a class at birth. However, society polarizes structurally into two main classes:
Bourgeoisie (owners of capital)
Proletariat (workers who sell labor)

So after all of this we are supposed to believe that a proletarian revolution can politely overthrow capitalism and then keep its markets its wage labor its competition and its profit logic just toned down a little. As if history is a dinner party and the old ruling class will simply respect the new management. The lesson from the transition out of feudalism was not that you preserve the old relations so everyone feels comfortable. The lesson was that once the productive forces outgrow a system any attempt to freeze them inside outdated relations leads to stagnation or collapse.
From a left communist perspective the idea that you can build socialism while conceding the fundamental mechanisms of capitalism is not realism it is surrender with better branding. Market socialism does not compete with the most aggressive and exploitative forms of global capitalism by being kinder and more ethical. It gets crushed or it adapts and becomes what it was supposed to overcome. Capital does not reward moderation it rewards accumulation expansion and discipline. A workers state that reintroduces market dependence simply recreates the pressures that restore class divisions in new forms.
And demanding that a new mode of production actually break with capitalism is not radical posturing or utopian purity. It is the bare minimum. If socialism does not transform how surplus is allocated how labor is organized and how production is coordinated then it is not a new system at all. It is capitalism with a different flag.
If you want we can push this further and outline what seven defining characteristics of a genuinely socialist mode of production would look like, nd conoare them to the characteristics of capitalism.

I'm so far into rejecting reformism I'm starting to think the only solution to the capitalist/imperialist world order is not only forcbile overthrow but the complete decimation of it; A disaster so thorough most of humanity will be concerned with immediate survival and as almost everyone will be reduced to laborers and technicians we will have to apply more libertarian communist systems because of their interest and current knowledge/experience of politics + since porkies will hardly have anything to own or to give as to enforce his property; That society won't afford to deal with deprivation at such a stage and no foreign superpowers to help them. The same thing could happen to many other regressive tendencies that won't have their powerful insitutions to perpetuate them any longer and will quickly be abandoned becasue the state of society then will find them detrimental like the church, sexism, etc.
I'm starting to think this is the only real solution because every even mildly successful socialist project gets villanized and destroyed by porkies (regional or foreign) and will hardly implement desired reforms because then priority will be self-perseverance, The disappearance of the US and it's capitalist imperialist allies is near impossible and that even if they transistioned to socialism, Neoliberalism have ruined social relations to such a degree and capitalist mentalities are so deeply ingrained that they will be endlessly sabotaged internally or that people won't commit to it seriously and it will be ruined.

How do we effectively divorce the American left from the Democratic Party?

Background: I’m an aging millennial pushing 40. I saw how the protests against the Iraq War failed to do what the Vietnam War protests accomplished in the 60s by creating a militant leftist movement like the New Left; these protests turned into campaigns to elect Democrats. Likewise, when I participated in Occupy I noticed how Democratic Party shills showed up to turn the movement into one big campaign to get Obama re-elected. There was no more attempt at applying the Occupy model to everyday life or creating new institutions based on non-hierarchical organizing and consensus decision-making like we had at Zuccotti Park. Then, in 2020 during the BLM uprising, it didn’t take long for DNC shills to take over the protests and turn them into voter registration drives to vote out Trump. Now that we’re seeing a new wave of uprisings against ICE, it’s very obvious the Dems will do the exact same thing: take over the protests, pacify them, and use them to get people to vote in the midterm elect rooms for Democrats. Rinse and repeat. It’s going to be worse this year especially, because Mamdani-cult will convince everyone that their god-king’s victory in NYC is “proof” more progressive Democratic candidates can win and change the system from the inside. Puke.

So how do we cut the left off from the Democrats entirely? How do we show them that we don’t want them in our slaves but also that our goals are entirely different from theirs? The Democrats offer is nothing and this is why attempts at trying to move people towards their party won’t work. All these attempts at getting people who were raised in right-wing religious ideologies to “deconstruct” the ideologies they were raised with will fail, because all “deconstruction” seeks to do is turn people into Democrats and Mamdani-ites so the Dems can keep offering people nothing. Fuck this.

Just Barracks Communism

Barracks Communism has never been tried.
Lets try to make a canon for it, all of the original texts attributed to what Barracks Communism was, pile them up and just follow them dogmatically.
Lets do this.


Barracks communism (German: Kasernenkommunismus)[1] is the term coined by the German philosopher Karl Marx[2] to refer to a crude, authoritarian, forced collectivism and communism where all aspects of life are bureaucratically regimented and communal. Marx used the expression to criticise the vision of Sergey Nechayev outlined in "The Fundamentals of the Future Social System".[2][3][4] The term barracks here does not refer to military barracks, but to the workers' barracks-type primitive dormitories in which the industrial workers lived in many places in the Russian Empire of the time.[5]

In the ideology of the Soviet Union the term was applied to theories of "some ideologues in China" of the 1950s-1970s.[6] During the Soviet perestroika period, the term was used to apply to the history of the Soviet Union itself.[5]
Origin

A relevant section of Sergey Nechayev's "The Fundamentals of the Future Social System" reads as follows:

The ending of the existing social order and the renewal of life with the aid of the new principles can be accomplished only by concentrating all the means of social existence in the hands of our committee, and the proclamation of compulsory physical labour for everyone.

The committee, as soon as the present institutions have been overthrown, proclaims that everything is common property, orders the setting up of workers' societies (artels) and at the same time publishes statistical tables compiled by the people who know and pointing out what branches of labour are most needed in a certain locality and what branches may run into difficulties there.

For a certain number of days assigned for the revolutionary upheaval and the disorders that are bound to follow, each person must join one or another of these artels according to his own choice… All those who remain isolated and unattached to workers' groups without sufficient reason will have no right of access either to the communal eating places or to the communal dormitories, or to any other buildings assigned to meet the various needs of the brother-workers or that contain the goods and materials, the victuals or tools reserved for all members of the established workers' society; in a word, he who without sufficient reason has not joined an artel, will be left without means of subsistence. All the roads, all the means of communication will be closed to him; he will have no other alternative but work or death.

The report "The Alliance of Socialist Democracy and the International Working Men's Association", an explanation and justification of the expulsion of Bakunin's faction from the International (written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels with the assistance of Paul Lafargue) quotes the above text and comments as follows:

What a beautiful model of barrack-room communism! Here you have it all: communal eating, communal sleeping, assessors and offices regulating education, production, consumption, in a word, all social activity, and to crown all, our committee, anonymous and unknown to anyone, as the supreme director. This is indeed the purest anti-authoritarianism. - KARL MARX

Is there an inherent spiritual element to Marxist values? If you look at history you will notice that despite religious restrictions, the most diehard supporters of Marxism were religious at some point or even stayed religious afterwards.

Minimum Wage Increase in Colombia: Petro Called for Mobilization
The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, yesterday mounted a strong defense of his decree from December of last year approving a 23.7% increase in the minimum wage for 2026, which was provisionally suspended last week by the Council of State. As the country follows the legal process that will determine whether the measure — considered historic by the Government — will stand, the president not only reaffirmed his position but also issued an explicit call for popular mobilization this Thursday, Feb. 19, in public squares in several Colombian cities, in what he described as the defense of the “vital minimum wage.”

A confession

Comrade, forgive me, for I have sinned

Today, something happened whilst I was doorknocking that I believe I won't ever be the same after. It was a large apartment building, you'd think it was an Eastern European commie block from the outside, though it's as well maintained as they were before the fall of the Eastern Bloc. Nonetheless, me and a far older comrade (70 years old) went down the stairs to the 5th floor. We rung a first door, waited a couple seconds, nothing. It's fine. We rung the door next to it, and waited again before heading towards the next door, however we immediately tensed up when we heard chains clanging. The first door we had rung was going to be opened. So, we immediately went back towards it, and greeted the man inside. From the looks of it, he was old, not that old, but old nonetheless. 50? 55? Doesn't matter. And we said the usual things we did: "Good afternoon, we have a little flyer, it's about the mayoral elections-", my comrade said, before being interrupted. The man who had answered the door was visibly angry, and told us that he did not care for left, right, center, up, down or anything else, as he had known this city under the left and the right. His father died in 2009, and he had to take care of his handicapped, sick and dying mother. She died in 2017. In 2009, we, the COMMUNISTS, were in power, and he went to town hall and we simply said we couldn't do anything. We *wouldn't* do anything. He worked day and night, incredibly long hours, he worked his ass off, and had to take care of his sick mother. By himself. We lost the city in 2014, and the situation remained exactly the same. My comrade kept trying to convince him, but I remained silent. I just couldn't come to terms with it… we LET his mother die. We KILLED her. WE have blood on our hands. US. Not anybody else, no, WE.

And he works from 12AM to 1AM, he works security. He works day and night, like I said, and now he's going to retire soon, and you know what? He has so little to retire with. We did nothing to help him. We've stood passively by, allying ourselves with the closest bourgeois leftslop party in order to not collapse, and we did nothing to help him. And people like him. I just can't believe it… We're… We're BOURGEOIS. WE are BOURGEOIS. WE are complicit in the murder of hundreds of millions, no, BILLIONS of people. And this isn't the only thing that happened today. I was biking to the apartment building, following the rendez-vous given to me by my comrades, and you know, I had made a campaign video that went semi-viral locally. Some guys said "congrats on the video, by the way, really!" whilst I passed them, I could only say thank you as I raced through the street whose sidewalk they were on. I smiled, I was so happy. And as I kept going, just 300 meters after that, I was going down a street when I was multiple people beating a guy up. And what did I do? Nothing! I just watched and rode off. I just watched. I just WATCHED. I JUST WATCHED. Is this the price for fame? Is this it? I don't want it, sincerely. And I don't want to let this keep happening. I don't want to watch on the sidelines as people like me, workers, people who live off their work, and barely scrape by, get beaten up by the system. No thanks. And…

I look at my comrades, comrades of the same party that let that man's mother slowly die without any help, and constrained him to work day and night for her, and… I don't see monsters. I don't see murderers. I see people like me, people like HIM. There's no difference. They're just as fucked by the system as he is. So I won't just confess about what happened. He gave up, out of anger and frustration and despair, he gave up. But I won't. I'll fight for him, I'll fight for the man I allowed to get beat up, I'll fight for every person who's been fucked by this system. So next time we have a meeting, I'll talk. I'll talk all night, and I'll tell everybody about exactly what happened, and what we must do. If they don't listen? I just hop off to another party. And if they don't listen? I'll just keep going and going and going and if I have to make my own party, then so be it. Because even if it takes every fiber of my being, every cell in my body, even if it means I'm 6 feet under the dirt, as long as he and every other person gets human dignity, LIBERATION… then I'm fine with it.

And remember, comrades. We have a world to win.

Capitalism has changed a lot since Marx lived. Some people say it has not changed much. But it has. We are now in what many call the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Technology moves very fast even if the mode of production itself is still in place. Goods are changing too. Machines and software now do much of the work. Companies do not always sell software as something you buy once and own forever. Instead, they rent it to you. You pay every month. You do not truly own it. It's not like the food you eat. This does not prove Marx was wrong. It can actually support his method, if we see his ideas as a study of real social systems that change over time. The commodity, or good for sale, has not disappeared. It has changed shape. It has become more abstract and varied in its specific forms. When some commodities become a subscription, buying and selling does not end. The purchaser's true ownership ends. Companies learned that in the digital age, control brings more profit than simple ownership. The commodity is no longer just a thing. It is a controlled stream of access. Profit comes again and again over time. This is not a world beyond capitalism. It is capitalism finding new ways to control time and space. Automation also does not destroy capitalism’s basic rules. But it creates problems for them. If human labor creates value, and machines replace workers, then the system weakens its own base. Yet capitalism does not simply fall apart. It adapts. It grows through finance. It strengthens copyright and patents. It creates artificial scarcity, even when goods could be copied easily. It turns genocide into a spectacle for people to watch and get anxious about happening to them. Social media turns daily life into data that can be sold. The factory has not vanished. It has spread into warehouses, data centers, and computer systems that track workers. Wage labor still exists. It is just more divided, watched, and pushed across the globe to find the cheapest workers. This shows a new tension. Technology can now produce goods in great amounts, often at very low cost. But the system of private ownership and profit limits access. Subscription models, digital locks, and cloud systems are legal tools that keep control in private hands. Capitalism is not stuck. It is active and flexible. But it still faces crises. It survives by reorganizing power in more complex ways. It makes production global and social, yet keeps profit private. It also harms the planet. This deepens the conflict between the many who work together and the few who own the results. The task is not to simply say capitalism is finished. It is also not to treat new technology as proof that we have moved beyond it. We must study how power works in the digital age. We must ask how data becomes capital, how large platforms act like toll gates, and how insecure jobs keep workers under pressure even as productivity rises. Only then can we judge whether these changes make the system more stable, or whether they sharpen the tensions that could lead to a new form of socialism.

Modern communists have bought into Marx's propaganda towards the proletariat wholesale, and forget that Marx's designation of the proletariat as revolutionary subject is purely pragmatical.
Communism, for Marx, is the liberation of humanity from the logic of capital and wage labour. He simply agitated the proletariat because it was politically expedient to do so: they are the majority, they are less intelligent on average and thus more receptive to agitation, and so forth. And in his propaganda to that end he romanticized its class characteristics, but never actually believed it himself. Marx understood, like all revolutionaries (and Lenin later made crystal clear), that the real drivers behind all revolutions are an elite cadre of intellectuals influencing the masses towards an aim.
Now, if you don't understand that elites (in some form or the other) are the actual drivers and the masses their tools, you are like a blood-and-soil fascist revolutionary who forgets that, in his agitation of the white working class towards class collaboration and the exclusion of other races, you actually secretly have contempt for the lower class, even those of your own race. This is the 'in the know' secret you must know and embrace inside as a revolutionary of any kind, but never make public to the subject you're trying to agitate. No revolutionary is 'egalitarian'. The egalitarian is naive enough to presuppose that his revolution would never need him. This is why horizontalists must believe themselves and their ideas to be superfluous.
That is not to say that Marx necessarily found the proletariat contemptible or disdainful. But that he knew they needed to be agitated by a well-crafted, easy to digest propaganda. And like all revolutionaries, he genuinely believes in his end goals and their nobility.
So my problem with Stalin or [insert failed revolutionary] would not be that he was a traitor to the cause or some egotist preoccupied with power and control while abandoning the cause of communism. No, he was simply not pragmatic enough.
Everything comes down to pragmatism. We should be communists because we believe it advances humanity in tangible ways, without being so naive as to fall for our own romanticisation of humanity.

Muh armchairs

People such as the Italian communists never claimed that its necessary to wait for revolutionary periods before educating and leading the class, there are however limited contexts where which communist intervention can be effective. Marx and Engels agree with the Italian left, as shown in the quote below:

<In Germany it looks more like revolution every day. In Berlin and Barmen menacing crowds of laid-off workers are roaming the streets. […..] I think that in a fortnight the storm will break in Prussia. If this opportunity passes without being used, and if the people allow that to happen, we can then calmly pack up our revolutionary paraphernalia and devote ourselves to pure theory.

— Engels to Marx. 11 June 1866

Of course its necessary for communists to stay in touch with each other, so is collectively working to overcome the challenges we face, but hitting the streets with pamphlets and slogans isn’t always the best option, and tailing bourgeois organizations is off the table altogether. Communists dont chase popularity with a disorganized mass of individuals, they move to lead and intensify the class struggles of workers organized as workers.

The subjective factor of the revolution isn’t floating in the void waiting to be summoned with the right mix of slogans or chants, either the requisite class organization really and concretely exists, or it does not. We either push to reinforce class autonomy beforehand, or nothing happens when tensions run high.

Are there legitimate reasons for leftists to oppose biracialism?

A lot of Black liberationists (including Frantz Fanon) have brought up the issues with inter-racial relationships on the basis they are largely a product of colonialism and imperialism. Colonized peoples face tremendous pressure to change themselves to be more palatable to whiteness. This includes being in romantic relationships with who’re people and having babies with whites.

That may not seem like a big deal but it actually matters a lot. Black intergenerational wealth is one such issue. When a rich or upper-middle class Black guy has children with a white (or non-Black) woman, his wealth gets passed down to mixed hands, not Black hands. This makes it much harder for the Black community as a whole to acquire intergenerational wealth since all of their wealth is being inherited by biracials. Black biracials who were raised by white mothers in particular also report feeling huge psychological problems because their white mothers always held them to white cultural norms and deprived them of their blackness. Plus, there is a huge attempt by the white supremacist media to highlight biracials as opposed to actual Black people. Look at how Drake and Kehlani are propped up by pop culture as opposed to authentic Black people like Doechii.

Personally, I think leftists need to start being critical of this phenomenon since it has implications for liberatory politics and anti-imperialism. Groups like the NOI have always opposed biracial baby-making and I think we should learn from them.

UK terrorism ban on Palestine Action group unlawful, court rules after appeal
Britain's ban on pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was ruled unlawful by London's High Court on Friday, though the ban will temporarily remain in place and the government said it would appeal against the decision. Palestine Action was proscribed in July, having increasingly taken "direct action" against Israel-linked defence companies in Britain, often blocking entrances or spraying red paint.

Of historic invariance and hydrophilia

Mr Beast must stop trying to provide water to the poor regions of Africa. The temporary relief is tantamount to revisionist reformism.

phone bad but listen to me

I'm barely on my phone anymore, I don't really use social media or anything, and the main thing I notice when I'm in a group is how often I sit around with nothing to do while everyone else is on their phones. Then when everyone gets off their phones there's the increasingly long awkward silences, the reticence to start or continue conversations, the unspoken social contract that talking about anything "real" like politics is exhausting, the implicit understanding that sincerity is uncouth and irony is king. I'm lucky I even have a group of IRL friends, depressing as that is to say. You could do everything right, successfully get off your phone and the internet forever, live a completely tech-free life, and the "real world" would still feel incomplete and hollow. So it isn't just the phone, not anymore–it's everything. The entire world is organized around funneling us into this machine. Why? If I were to put a term to what the phone does to a person, I'd say it's "soul-draining," and I have half a mind to call it "demonic possession" but people obviously look at you funny when you say that (even if we're all in agreement that tech billionaires are basically demons). Your soul, your consciousness, is the thing that's being silenced when you tap in to the noise; when your soul is quiet, it turns out you're more likely to accept wage slavery and authoritarianism and anti-intellectualism and bigotry and all that fun stuff. In my experience, the more I actively put down the phone and say "I'm going to simply exist in my own discomfort for a while" the easier it becomes to understand the shape of that discomfort and combat it, usually by making art. The amazing thing is that we live in an era of unprecedented access to actual, real knowledge and art from the entirety of human existence. I'm not saying there's never been a better time to be an artist or a philosopher, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more critical or important time.

Chomsky-Epstein connection

Can we talk about the new revelations about Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Epstein?

>The prominent linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky called it a “most valuable experience” to have maintained “regular contact” with Jeffrey Epstein, who by then had long been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to emails released earlier in November by US lawmakers.


>Such comments from Chomsky, or attributed to him, suggest his association with Epstein – who officials concluded killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges – went deeper than the occasional political and academic discussions the former had previously claimed to have with the latter.


>Chomsky, 96, had also reportedly acknowledged receiving about $270,000 from an account linked to Epstein while sorting the disbursement of common funds relating to the first of his two marriages, though the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor has insisted not “one penny” came directly from the infamous financier.


>The emails disclosed on 12 November by the Republican members of the US House oversight committee generally detailed the correspondence Epstein had with political, academic and business luminaries, including the Bill Clinton White House’s treasury secretary Larry Summers and Steve Bannon, the longtime ally of Donald Trump. Further, they reveal Epstein and Chomsky were close enough to discuss musical interests and even potential vacations.


>Perhaps the most telling of the Chomsky-related documents in question was a letter of support for Epstein attributed to Chomsky with the salutation “to whom it may concern”. It is not dated, but it contains a typed signature with Chomsky’s name and citing his position as a University of Arizona laureate professor, a role he began in 2017, as first reported by the Massachusetts news outlet WBUR.

A couple of things:

1. How could any principled anarchist be friends with a billionaire?

2. I get that Chomsky radicalized a lot of American Gen Xers and Millennials. Anarchists in the 90s and 2000s looked up to him as a god-man of sorts. He wrote many books that have become classics among the Gen X and Millennial American left. But how will this stain his reputation? Will he be cancelled? His books burned or thrown in the trash?

3. Is this a case of "live long enough to be the villain" or was Chomsky always sus?

4. How do you think Michael Parenti and Slavoj Zizek are taking this news?

Bromantane / Ladasten

A Soviet drug better than caffeine!
THE WORKING MAN'S COFFEE!

Bromantane (trade name Ladasten / Ладастен) is a Russian pharmaceutical substance developed in the late 1980s that possesses both stimulant and anxiolytic properties.[2] Although it is a commonly used medication in Russia and surrounding countries, it has not gained widespread recognition or pharmaceutical use in other countries. During the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, 5 different Russian athletes tested positive for bromantane use.[3]

A study conducted on human subjects displayed bromantane's ability to improve endurance and work capacity during stressful and intense conditions.[4] This is because bromantane works as an actoprotector, a substance that makes the body more stable under physical duress without increasing oxygen consumption.[5]

Bromantane is a chemical derivative of adamantane, a polyhedral organic compound containing four fused cyclohexane rings. Bromantane's structure consists of adamantane bound at R2 to a nitrogenous group which is in turn bonded to a phenyl ring substituted at R4 with a bromine group.

Bromantane is atypical among stimulants in the sense that it inhibits serotonin reuptake in addition to inhibiting dopamine reuptake. It also increases levels of norepinephrine, but its means of doing so are unclear.[6] Bromantane's anxiolytic properties are due to its strengthening of GABA-ergic mediation.[5]

Unlike typical stimulants such as amphetamine, bromantane's effects come primarily through the upregulation of tyrosine hydroxylase and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (L-DOPA decarboxylase).[7] Rodent studies have shown a 2-2.5x increase in these enzymes following administration of bromantane, and their upregulation causes a downstream increase in levels of dopamine, serotonin and epinephrine.

Although not relevant at clinical dosages, bromantane has been found to produce anticholinergic effects, including both antimuscarinic and antinicotinic actions, at very high doses in animals.[8][9]

Subjective effects

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWiki contributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.

It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.


Physical effects
Child.svg

Stimulation - It is generally not described as forced and is mild comparing to that produced by typical stimulants like amphetamine.
Stamina enhancement
Dehydration[citation needed]
Vasoconstriction[citation needed]
Increased blood pressure[citation needed]
Muscle relaxation[citation needed]
Tactile enhancement - Bromantane can cause warm pleasurable skin feeling simillar to that produced by empathogens like MDMA but the effect is far less pronounced.[citation needed]
Teeth grinding - Although bromantane has muscle relaxing properties it can cause jaw clenching especially when mixed with caffeine.[citation needed]

Cognitive effects
User.svg

Anxiety suppression - Bromantane produces anxiety supression which is unusual comparing to typical stimulants like amphetamine which can actually cause feelings of anxiety.
Focus enhancement
Thought acceleration
Analysis enhancement
Memory enhancement
Motivation enhancement
Cognitive euphoria
Wakefulness
Increased music appreciation - It appears less consistently and the effect is less pronounced comparing to typical stimulants like amphetamine.

Non-Marxist, Non-Marx, Non-Anarchist

Non-Marxist, Non-Marx, Non-Anarchist, Non-Anything, just communism?
Whats the simple real communism as it was intended to be? What's the root of the word?
Whats the real meaning fo that word? Not like a quote from a guy who said its this or that, like whats the real meaning behind it? Anarchy comes from greek - anarchos, i.e. without rulers. So where does communism come from, what does it mean, what was its original meaning?
I heard it might come from some jewish language to mean "like one" like many acting like one. What is it though for real? Why did Marx choose that word? After all in the early days most called themselves "social democratic"?
Was communism even red? Or was that just popularized along the way?

Google says:

. The word originates from the French communisme (c. 1840), derived from communis (Latin for "common" or "shared") and the suffix -isme (-ism), defining a system of community-held property.

Property? Doesn't that contradict the abolition of property? Doesn't that contradict a large portion of Marx and Lenin and Stalin's critique of anarchism? That they don't do away with property?

Again what does it mean? What is the original meaning and origin of that word?

"Ism" is a modern invention right? So what was the original real first word? Commune? Commun?

PRINCIPLES of FACB

Principles of the Federation of Anarchist-Communists in Bulgaria.

We, the participants in the Federation of Anarcho-Communists in Bulgaria, stand behind the following Principles:

Freedom

Anarchist-communism places the freedom of each individual at its core. True freedom is not an individual privilege but a collective condition – as long as even one person is subordinated or deprived of freedom, society as a whole is unfree. (A free society contains limitations but provides more space for personal freedom than a strictly individualistic society. "Freedom is having the will to be responsible for oneself towards other people." – Max Stirner, with an addition)

Equity

Freedom is inseparable from equity. Inequity creates dependencies and exploitation, which limit real freedom.

Solidarity

People can only exist free and equal through mutual aid and cooperation. The development of science and technology implies life in communities and societies, but existence within society requires coordination and agreement among its members. Solidarity represents a nonviolent mechanism for achieving such agreement.

Materialism

We share the philosophy of Materialism. It considers nature, society, human thought, and all phenomena as subject to objective natural laws, independent of an individual's worldview. The only factors that determine the structure and development of society are material.



Consequences

From the above principles, we derive the following positions of our organization:

Rejection of the state and hierarchy

Hierarchy generates power, and power inevitably limits the freedom of the subordinated. The state is a concrete example of a large hierarchical structure that concentrates power and imposes it over society as a whole. Hence, anarchists oppose the state. This opposition is not an end in itself or a matter of personal attitude, but a necessary struggle to achieve true freedom.

Common ownership and collective management of resources

The means of production and natural resources are perceived through collective ownership. Private property is abolished with instead collective ownership taking place to eliminate social and economic exploitation.

Distribution according to needs

The basic economic principle is "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." Production and distribution are organized in such a way as to meet the needs of all, without commodity-money relations.

Decentralization and federalism

Society is organized through autonomous communities connected in federations. This achieves coordination without centralized power and preserves the autonomy of each community to act accordingly to their ambitions and problems.

Anti-militarism

Militarism is the ultimate expression of hierarchy and violence. Armies and wars serve the powerful, subjugating societies and destroying solidarity among peoples. We oppose war, militarization, and imperialism because they directly violate the principles of freedom, equality, and solidarity among peoples that we accept.

Fight against capitalism

The capitalist system is based on private ownership of the means of production, exploitation of labor, and the commodification of life and nature. This creates deep socioeconomic inequalities and concentrates power in the hands of a few. Capitalism undermines freedom, turns equality into an illusion, and destroys solidarity, replacing it with competition. We reject capitalism as incompatible with a free, just, and solidarity-based society built on the principles we accept.

Listen Mutts!

At the upcoming Amerimutt elections, you need to vote republican.
Liberal democracy promotes the lie that it can resolve its own issues by reforms, all the discontempt with Trump and all of his crimes against humanity will be swept away and MEMORYHOLED the moment amerimutts rush to the voting polls to elect a democrat. What America needs is not reforms, it needs to become so bad and vile at this point that it collapses into a civil war. America can only go through its problems by continuing with problems, rather than trying to resolve them by prolonging the life of its bourgeois democracy in damage control.
>Accelerationist retard
Accelerationism works, your moronic liberal damage control is what prolongs bourgeois illusions of "freedom". It is almost obviou americans will not be having a civil war in spite of knowing their government is ran by pedophiles and will simply protest until the next election, what leftists and broader anti-systematic forces need to realize is that they need to continue the crisis brought by Trump in order to bring about the conditions for a sufficient revolt.

Vote Republican as ridiculous as it sounds.

If you vote for democrat you will end up with a government that covers up all the previous systematic issues, continues the same foreign policy and puts to sleep the general public. Democrats will only stabilize America to continue its pedophilic imperialist existence, whereas Republicans will continue to degenerate it until it becomes unbareable and collapses.

YOU DON'T NEED ILLUSIONARY DEMOCRACY, YOU NEED REAL FASCISM FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THE PROBLEM AND CONFRONT IT WITH WAR.
A vote for republicans is a vote towards class war - confronting the real face of the enemy.

Milei takes on Argentina’s unions, drawing protests as senators debate his labor overhaul
Security forces struggled to control the crowds in a central square of downtown Buenos Aires, firing water cannons and rubber bullets at protesters who lobbed petrol bombs, stones and water bottles. Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva said two people were arrested for attacking police officers. The fiery standoff underscored the sensitivity of labor rights in this nation dominated since the 1940s by Peronism, a populist movement that has swung right and left ideologically over the decades but always claimed to champion workers’ rights.

Hong Kong - Overcrowded Hell

Hong Kong is one of the world's most densely populated areas, with an overall density of approximately 7,177 people per square kilometer as of 2023. The population is heavily concentrated, with districts like Kwun Tong exceeding 57,000 people per square kilometer…
With such crowd density, an incident like the Seoul Halloween crowd crush is inevitable to happen.

All the complaining of westerners about "Kowloon walled city" while the rest of HK wasn't any better, if anything at least in the Kowloon walled city people could manage at least their own space.

In fact it already happened - the 1993 Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong, tragedy saw 21 people killed and 63 injured on New Year's Eve, when 20,000 celebrators crowded narrow, sloping streets, causing a fatal crush due to alcohol-slicked, slippery roads.

Materialist analysis of celebrities engaging in activism?

Recently, we’ve seen notable celebrities like Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo speak out against Trump and ICE. Their social media profiles are full of anti-ICE sentiment. Billie has also spoken out against billionaires despite being rich herself. So what’s going on here? Is there any chance that celebrities like Billie and Olivia can hold radical leftist political views? A lot of celebrities and musicians were involved in the 60s New Left, by comparison. Are we seeing a rebirth of this?

Take this hypothetical scenario wherein
>All anti-communist propaganda is completely erased in the West
>A very balanced history is being taught in all Western schools on 20th century history
>Teaching Marx becomes acceptable and even somewhat popular in universities, especially for econ and history students
>All Westoid secret agencies stop infiltrating, oppressing, manipulating lefty parties
>Etc. - the point is that the political environment becomes completely fair
In such a scenario a communist movement would still not materilize in the West, reformist unionism would become more popular likely, but that's pretty much it if you think that it is still in the material interest of the labor aristocracy to conserve the current world order.

I'm very tempted to think that people who think otherwise are either completely idealist ("being able to tell the truth would alter cass interests") or conspiratorial ("we don't have communism because the CIA".)

I consider my position to be common sense, but feel free to attempt to change my mind.

It's the middle class who fear technological innovation, not the lower and upper

Trotsky is right about this. The wealthy welcome technological innovation because it means new investment opportunities and thus profits, and new markets.
The lower class welcomes technologies that make their drudgery lives better.

The middle class fears technological change because they're social climbers and upwardly mobile, which is how they become middle class, and therefore the middle class has a tenuous position on its attempted climb up the mountain and is always worried about things that can cause it to slide downward. Change in general is seen as dangerous, not something to be welcomed.

Hence it's the middle class which is anti-progress and eras when the middle class holds unusually strong sway are eras of stagnation. Eras dominated by the upper class, or when the lower class organizes and gets some influence, see much more rapid progress.

The middle class are trying to win the game as it exists and don't like the game regularly changing. Hence fascism finds its support among the middle class, and elites go along with it for aid against lower class socialism when bourgeois traditional conservatism is no longer tenable.

>The rapid growth of German capitalism prior to the First World War by no means signified a simple destruction of the middle classes. Although it ruined some layers of the petty bourgeoisie it created others anew: around the factories, artisans and shopkeepers; within the factories, technicians and executives. But while preserving themselves and even growing numerically – the old and the new petty bourgeoisie compose a little less than one-half of the German nation – the middle classes have lost the last shadow of independence. They live on the periphery of large-scale industry and the banking system, and they live off the crumbs from the table of the monopolies and cartels, and off the spiritual alms of their theorists and professional politicians.

George De Mohrenschildt

Explain to me why I shouldn't be schizo about George De Mohrenschildt. This guy was an anti-communist Russian white army emigre who had property seized by the soviets. He fled to the United States. He became a big player in the community of Russian emigres. He became friends with George HW Bush back when he was a lowly CIA agent and son of Prescott Bush, a senator/banker who took part in the failed Business Plot against FDR. This guy meets Lee Harvey Oswald, who is allegedly a communist, and takes him and his newly arrived Russian wife under his wing. Gets him a job at book depository. Now this Lee Harvey Oswald is a weirdo. He immigrated to the USSR, for only a few months, then moved back to the USA. But in the time he was in the USSR he found a wife. Not just any wife but the niece of one Ilya Prusakov, who was a colonel in the Byelorussian SSR's Ministry of Internal Affairs. She lived with her uncle and was close to him when she met Oswald and decided to marry him and move to the USA. So this supposedly loner type weirdo who goes on to "shoot" JFK manages to bag himself a soviet wife who is related to a prominent official in just a few months… OK…. sure…. then this guy who spent the entire 1950s in the military telling anyone with two ears that he was the biggest commie alive, at the height of McCarthyism, with zero consequences, comes back to the US, and immediately makes a prominent anti-communist friend who himself has friends in the CIA… wow, ok, sure…. then on top of that, Oswald gets a job from this guy, at the very place where he will later be framed for shooting JFK.

Then this guy, De Mohrenschildt, he goes on to write George HW Bush a letter in the 1970s, over a decade later, saying, basically, "hey old buddy old pal, my house is bugged, please get these people to leave me alone, I think I fucked up and talked too much about Oswald" and fucking commits """suicide""" by shotgun less than 1 year later… George HW Bush confirms on an official CIA document that he knows this guy and the handwritten letter is literally preserved as a scan.

Meanwhile, outside of De Mohrenschildt's apartment when De Mohrenschildt commits """suicide""" is none other than FUCKING BILL O REILLY of future fox news fame. Bill O Reilly claims for years that was knocking on De Mohrenschildt's door for an interview when he heard the man kill himself inside…. HMMM….

then years later JEFFREY EPSTEIN goes out of his way to write an op-ed article "debunking" Bill O Reilly, this being before Epstein was persona-non-grata and about to commit """suicide""" as well….

Israeli cabinet approves decision paving way for annexation, greater control of WB, as settlers burn Qurans
The measures have been pushed by extremist and far-right ministers Israel Katz and finance minister Bezalel Smotrich. According to local Palestinian media, the decisions are the most dangerous since 1967, and undermine the Oslo and al-Khalil agreements, which state that Israel has no authority over civilian matters in the West Bank. The new rules will make it easier for Israeli settlers to buy land in occupied areas and give Israeli officials powers to enforce laws on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

US held secret meeting between Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania over Western Sahara
The meeting, which was supposed to remain confidential, was revealed by Spanish newspaper El Confidencial's journalist Ignacio Cembrero on Saturday. According to Cembrero, the framework for the discussions was Morocco's autonomy plan for Western Sahara, which was adopted by the UN Security Council last year. The plan has been rejected by the Polisario Front, who asks for a referendum on self-determination as planned by a 35-year-old UN resolution. It would cement Morocco's control over the African region, which it has occupied since 1975, while nominally offering a degree of self-governance for the Sahrawis.

Bhumjaithai Party’s election victory signals a conservative shift in Thailand’s politics
While the progressive People’s Party, which finished second with 118 seats, has ruled out joining a Bhumjaithai coalition, the populist Pheu Thai Party, in third place with 74 seats, has left the possibility open. Bhumjaithai has not yet revealed its intentions.

Hundreds of thousands participated in a national strike in Pakistan against the conservative government’s policies
In several places, protesters were stopped by the police and security forces, with TTAP claiming hundreds of its workers and leaders were detained in attempts to stop the protests. Security forces also allegedly forced businesses to stay open and not to participate in the strike in some areas. Ammar Ali Jan, leader of the left-wing Haqooq-e-Khalq Party (HKP), claimed that one of the main organizers from his party, Ammar Rashid, was arrested by the police when he was participating in one such mobilization in the capital Islamabad.

Colombia: Ruling-party candidate to file criminal complaint against ex-President Pastrana over Epstein files
The newly surfaced material includes references to Pastrana in dozens of files, among them email exchanges from 2003 and 2004 with Maxwell and mentions of meetings and travel arrangements. One message thread discusses logistical details for a New York trip and reception arrangements. Cepeda has framed the issue as more than a political controversy, calling for authorities to determine whether the contacts reflected in the files carry legal consequences and whether any actions involved improper use of official resources or non-institutional arrangements.

Cuba says airlines can no longer refuel on the island as US blockade deepens energy crisis
The government of Cuba published the notices to airlines and pilots on Sunday night, warning that jet fuel won’t be available at nine airports across the island, including José Martí International Airport in Havana, starting Tuesday and continuing until March 11. Political pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump on Latin America has effectively severed Cuba’s access to its primary petroleum sources in Venezuela and Mexico.

The upcoming Krita Yuga

The Mahabharata, a Hindu epic, describes Krita Yuga as such:[18]

Men neither bought nor sold; there were no poor and no rich; there was no need to labour, because all that men required was obtained by the power of will; the chief virtue was the abandonment of all worldly desires. The Krita Yuga was without disease; there was no lessening with the years; there was no hatred, or vanity, or evil thought whatsoever; no sorrow, no fear. All mankind could attain to supreme blessedness.

— Vana Parva

The Palestine movement failed miserably to stop the genocide because the movement is largely one of SYMBOLIC politics, not one of instrumental politics. It’s not about the Palestinian people but about angry western youth letting off steam. This exact BDS movement has become about self-righteous zoomers showing off how “virtuous” they are by boycotting Starbucks and Coke, never mind that boycotts are supposed to be a militant tactic and weapon to attack an enemy head-on. The campus protests from 2024 were also aimless and did nothing except get a bunch of students and professional activists arrested. Makes sense that NYU banned criticism of Zionism right afterwards.

Let this be known for the next time the world is thrown into a state of crisis.

Thoughts on Raëlism?

Obviously its a cult, but so are all religions.
Obviously its bullshit, but so are all religions.
It considers itself an "atheistic religion" (thats a fucking contradiction) since it tries to rationalize its bullshit through UFOs and science fiction rhetoric.
A little birdie somewhere said that their founder was affiliated with Mossad, maybe?
They have this libtarded view of progress and obnoxious view on sexual liberation to a point of complete perversion.

Other than that it seems pretty instrumental. It's one of the few cults that don't seem to try to be secretive and one researcher actually claimed they were extremely open to being studied and wrote a book about them called Aliens Adored: Raël's UFO Religion which I haven't read, I also haven't bothered to read any of their texts because they look like generic extremely boring new age religion schizobabble feel-good "energy" quotefarms.

Is it just posadism for liberals? Seems like it.
Can it be instrumentalized and utilized for greater purpose?
They fund cloning research and may have even attempted / done it at some point (who knows), among other stuff.

They were annoying with their proselytising enough for the South Korea regime to take action against them at one point (3rd pic related).

Purity Politics has been the biggest cancer on the left

Purity Politics is the mentality that so many leftists have where they choose their ideology and refuse to work or organize with anyone outside of that ideology, for example a leftist could go on some liberals podcast and then the leftists that do purity politics will say "hOw dArE yOu gO oN tHiS lIbErAlS pOdCaSt yOu SoCiAl-fAsCiSt!!!" So then less leftists will go on that podcast out of fear that they will be called a class-traitor or whatever, but when all of these divided sects of leftists are isolated in their ivory towers meanwhile a Fascist goes on that liberal podcasts and spreads his world view to so many lumpens and then we go "hOw iS tHe rIgHt sO oRgAnIzEd?!?!?!" We have to drop this mentality of refusing to work with anyone who is a slightly different leftist because this is why we have no motion.

The brief confrontation came at the end of a peaceful march by thousands against the environmental impact of the Games and the presence of U.S. agents in Italy. Police held off the violent demonstrators, who appeared to be trying to reach the Santagiulia Olympic ice hockey rink, after the skirmish. By then, the larger peaceful protest, including families with small children and students, had dispersed.

Sexism In Sci-Fi

I thought I'd start a general thread about sexism in sci-fi.

The first issue I'd like to address is from the Voyager episode Fair Haven where the crew use their recreational time to occupy a holodeck program set in 19th century Ireland.

At somepoint in the episode Janeway adjusts the parameters of her holographic lover to make him taller and also deletes his wife. Imagine if that was a male character making a female holodeck character's breasts bigger. Everybody would be crying sexism, saying they are objectifying women etc.

I think that there's some severe double standards at work here, what do you guys think?

1,200 autoworkers in Canada lose their jobs as GM ends third shift at Oshawa Assembly Plant
The midnight third shift at General Motors’ Oshawa auto assembly plant was eliminated by the US-based automaker following the completion of the Friday, January 30 shift. The ensuing layoffs affect up to 1,200 workers throughout the auto supply chain in the industrial belt just east of Toronto. Some 500 direct GM jobs in the plant will be axed along with another 200 third-party workers who laboured side by side with the GM employed assembly workers. In addition, across the supply line, it is expected that about 500 more auto parts workers will lose their jobs. Almost all are members of Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union.

Israelis breach Gaza boundary in march calling for settlements
"During the past few hours, hundreds of Israeli civilians have attempted to approach the fence in an area designated as a closed military zone and prohibited to civilian entry," the military said, condemning the breach. "Approaching the barrier area and entering it is dangerous and disrupts the activity of security forces in the area," it added. The breach occurred as hundreds of Israeli activists marched towards the Gaza Strip, calling for the construction of settlements there.

Netanyahu releases his answers to 7 October probe, placing blame on political rivals
Addressing the Knesset foreign affairs and defence committee on Thursday, Netanyahu presented a series of selective quotations and heavily redacted discussions spanning the 12 years preceding the attacks. While the prime minister is authorised to withhold material he deems a threat to national security, critics argue the document is designed to shape the narrative in his favour, minimising his responsibility for the events that led to the deaths of around 1,150 people in Israel and the capture of 254 more.

The mass grooming of young men into nazism on the sharty and imageboards

Imageboards have of course been filled with nazis for a fuck ton of time from even the start, but most people agree it mainly started when moot added /news/ then all the chudcels flooded the rest of the site, then created /pol/ and the rest is history.

With that being said, how do we realistically combat the mass grooming of people into nazism through imageboards? The sharty is becoming the new 8chan but with way more cultural influence on the wider internet and the rest of the population is filled with young children, we have already seen solomon (a mass shooter that was a black man yet he was also a white supremacist with sharty connections) commit a mass shooting. With that being said clearly a lot of these young men are isolated and angry, doxxing random literal WHOS because they are trans, or even doing raids that help the federal government because the site is influenced by glowies. They even raided our very booru 2 days ago, and ILLEGAL CONTENT was posted (this was done by foodist nazis not soyteens but still scary that it’s that prevalent with their raids).

And with the thought on raids we can see some of these young people are being groomed into actual pedophile nazi communities but the sharty staff and wiki are so up their asses that they can’t see they have ideological similarities with the nazi foodists and that’s why they surround them.

They have crushed /leftysoy/ and banned many leftists on their wiki including me, I think this is gonna evolve into something much worst if we don’t do anything.

Leftists are all about hating soldiers and the police.....But not lawyers?

There is absolutely nowhere near enough lawyer hate in leftist circles. Why is that?
Although soldiers and the army are ultimate tyrants and indisputably worse….But cops and lawyers are the same thing and equally despicable and honestly the latter is more likely to be purely soulless evil people. There can never be talk of anti-establishment or system reform without shaming the law profession. enforcers of an unjust murderous order and frontline agents of class oppression, Lawyers even have a more direct relationship with enabling and always defending blood-sucking corporations and predatory ruling class than the hated militarist since lawyers REPRESENT them in court and legitimise their crimes while the militarists simply prevent what seems to them chaos and rioting. Lawyers are also much richer on average than wretched soldiers or police since their profession has a stronger incentive for being corrupt and immoral.
>B-but most lawyers just deal with common legal cases and petty crime or whatever
Same thing could be said about the police or even the infamous intelligence agencies.

This is not about vindicating the police or army or intelligence agents or any other porky tools, But an honest question: Why isn't there more lawyer hate in leftist circles?

ITT groups/persons whose downfall is totally deserved

ITT post groups or persons who you think downfall is entirely deserved alongside reasons why you think that is, in relation to the workers movement

Islamists are low hanging fruit but I thought I'd celebrate the recent downfall of Hezbollah as an Arab worker. Blud spent their time in power being IMF cumrags, breaking up strikes, purging non-reformist communists, turning Lebanon into a neoliberal heaven, poisoning workers with drugs, their leader spent his last days begging for de-escalation after sallowing his empty threats from 13th floor bunker while workers were getting slaughtered (not by him this time)

No doubt the Lebanese army would just take over Hezb job in brutalising workers but at least liberals will be exposed as no different than Hezb who they blame for everything while being in bed with. Or perhaps they will re-arm it again if workers aren't pacified.

Last challenge: Name one (1) group that killed more Shia communists than Hezbollah

India coal mine blast leaves 18 dead, others feared trapped
Kumar said rescuers paused operations at sundown Thursday and planned to resume Friday with support from state and federal personnel. He described the site as an “illegal rat-hole mine”, referring to a deep, narrow shaft where workers risk hazardous conditions to extract coal and other minerals. District police chief Vikash Kumar said dynamite likely triggered the blast, but investigations were ongoing.

Prisons as retirement homes for low-income seniors in Japan
The rise in the number of elderly people committing minor offenses to secure shelter, food, and medical care in prison has transformed Japan’s penitentiaries into facilities increasingly geared towards this age group, where social reintegration takes precedence over punishment. Some experts, however, warn of the high cost of maintaining an elderly prisoner and argue that prisons converted into retirement homes highlight a problem: the existence of increasingly weakened communities that fail to provide adequate support for their elders.

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.

Statement of the Workers’ Councils of Arak: All power to the councils!

>“To the workers of Markazi Province, to our comrades in Khuzestan, and to all the people of Iran.”


>For decades, our demands for bread have been answered with bullets, and our demands for dignity with prison. But today, the silence has come to an end. We, the workers of Arak’s factories, declare the following:


>Workplace control: From now on, the management of the Machine Manufacturing Company, AzarAb, and Wagon Pars factories will be in the hands of workers’ councils elected by the workers themselves. We no longer recognize managers appointed by the state or the regime’s puppet unions.

Joint statement of Worker-Communist Parties of Iraq and Kurdistan:

>The protests come amidst profound political transformations in the region and a clear decline in Iranian influence, which had expanded in recent years through militias and their allies, relying on funds looted from the working class and the welfare of the lranian masses. In the same vein, American imperialism, known for its bullying and unwavering support for fascist regimes, foremost among them the state of lsrael, is attempting to market itself as a defender of human rights and a supporter of the demands of the lranian masses, by brandishing the threat of blatant intervention, as recently occurred in Venezuela the two Communist Workers' Parties in Iraq and Kurdistan, while declaring their full solidarity and support for the just demands of the lranian working class and the masses yearning for freedom and dignity simultaneously warn against relying on American policies or allowing its intervention which plays a role in providing the lranian regime with pretexts to escalate its repression of the protesters.


>Any real change, any tangible improvement, and any victory for the protests in lran depends on maintaining their independence, separating their ranks from American imperialist policies, and preserving their class and popular unity.

Ultras still seething/Dizzy with success

It becomes imperative for the various strains of infantile left-deviationists (be they the Bordigist armchairs, the dumpster-diving anarchists, or the idealistic voluntarists still clinging to the metaphysics of spontaneity) to immediately confront the sheer magnitude of their historical illiteracy and sign the attached document with the requisite humility.

It is truly fascinating to watch you petty-bourgeois moralists clutch your pearls over actually existing socialism, entirely ignoring that your axioms are derived purely from liberal ideology and fail to account for the material conditions of a besieged proletarian dictatorship attempting to industrialize a plow-based feudal economy into a nuclear superpower in two decades while facing the combined hostility of the entire capitalist world. This dialectic extends inexorably to the PRC as well; for as it has been aptly noted, the productive forces necessary to defend a revolution must be equal to the productive forces attacking it.

Perhaps if you had actually engaged with Capital instead of merely skimming the back cover of The Conquest of Bread or watching CIA-funded video essays, you would comprehend that a revolution is largely the most organized, centralized, and terrifying thing there is. All that crying about "Red Fascism" because the Soviets didn't immediately dissolve the state apparatus while the Wehrmacht was knocking on the door constitutes a counter-revolutionary betrayal of the proletariat.

So please, put down whatever anarchist, leftcom, or revisionist slop you are currently consuming, stop fetishizing failure, and recognize that your "pure" socialism is a phantom; the Real exists only as the profane, this-worldly, dirty-Jewish muck of class struggle. Formally apologize to the General Secretary for your embarrassing lack of theoretical rigor NOW.

Israel becomes the first state to recognize Somaliland

Having declared independance in 1991, Somaliland had long saught international recognition, but despite it's relatively stable governance, this never worked, sure they managed to get a few deals with other countries, Notably Taiwan and Ethiopia, it had never managed to get formal recognition.
Until Now, as Israel becomes the first country to officially recognize Somaliland.
Somaliland has an extremly strategic position as the entry of the Black Sea, Israel would probably desire an ally in the region in order to counter the Houthis, especially now that the officially Yemeni government has all but collapsed.
But Israel has also mentionned Somaliland as a place to deport the Palestinians.
This recognition is also part of a series of diplomatic victories for Somaliland, Ethiopia, Taiwan and the USA are also considering recognition.
It can be wondered if Israel has lifted the taboo over recognising Somaliland and if other countries will follow it in its recognition.
As for Somalia, it will contest it diplomatically, but it can hardly do anything, as it's embroiled in a civil war.
But not all is rosy for Somaliland, as it doesn't control all the territory it claims, as the de facto independant state of Puntland managed to take over border territories in Khamuto State. Tensions in the region are also rising between Eritrea and Ethiopia as the latter threatens to invade the former in order to regain the sea access it had lost in 1991. While Ethiopia is Somaliland's most important ally, Somaliland might want to also want to distance themselves from an ally that aggressively desires sea access.

A self-confessed "communist" shilled for pro-reactionary gov. for a decade and

I know this guy, personally.

This guy is your typical chud:
>le dysgenic
>le genetically uggo
>anglo teeth rotting in hell
>built like a fuggen troll
yet he was participating in the Marxist reading group I organized for my country (Hungary) for months.

This guy (heterosexual male) considers himself to be so U G G L Y that he even considered becoming "trans" just so he may get some pussy, even tho he prefers women and prefers thinking about himself as male. He was so desperate for intimate contact that he thought about artificially becoming a "woman".

Long story short, vidrel is a random dude I had the misfortune to work with, who turned out to be a sadist, a pro-NATO asslicker, and a FIDESZ (Hungarian conservative governing party) "meme-creator" who did it for pennies…

I met this dude when he was merely 20-something and he joined our Marxist reading group. He did his homework and reported in his own words about the assigned (=freely, topically chosen from a literature list) texts. He seemed above avg. and so on.

Then his "best friend" who also participated in our reading group started to complain that this mother fucker was a sadist: he tormented him, hit him, tortured him, and so on.

Later, "Mr. X" was a co-funder of the group/party called Táncsics (named after the first socialist-leaning Hungarian president), which he manipulated into being anti-China and pro-LGBT (his relation with said group is deeply ambiguous, given he resents his inability to get pussy.)

He then "came out" to the "public," meaning literal Soros founded media (444.hu) about his "deep regrets" about how he was towing before the conservative meme-drive for cash.

Long story short, and to conclude.

I think that MLs should take the utmost measure to identify, allow in to the org, and follow up on such members. Why?

Because they are literal fucking anti-communists who change their "beliefs" based on what is fashionable. Allowing in such trojan horses – while knowing they are trojan horses – and then literally stalking them from the shadows allows us to comprehend how the bourgeois state apparatuses think, behave, interact with our own orgs.

……
I guess this OP is in ways against the grain, in the sense of "wanting the most class conscious, etc." elements in our party, but I think it is absolutely important to have IDENTIFIED LITTLE SNITCHES to be allowed to work around their shitty agendas (while thoroughly supervised by the party) and to get a good feel thereby of how's the establishment is doing so far.

Yes, allow incel-forced-trans-reactionary-shills into your org, but monitor them daily; execute them only once: after the revolution.

vidrel: basically he confesses that he did admin and create shit for conservative groups out of love for memes and then "he realized" he was much far left to that – ending him in an existential crisis, drawing him towards le radical "left".

But his "radicalism" was nothing else but NAFO-propaganda masked as "leftism."

TL;DR: make sure to take note of deranged infiltrators with potential ties to the bourgeois government and let them into your org while allowing them to act while closely monitoring their steps in an attempt to get a 'feel' how said bourg government behaves, feels, etc. After the revolution: execute them and dump their bodies in the closest river.

If you have questions about the vid, what he says, etc. I will oblige!

>Respondents were asked if they agreed or disagreed with a range of statements, including “society demonises Whiteness today, so violent resistance is the only way for White people to have a fair chance in the world”, to determine whether they supported different types of so-called violent extremism.
>A quarter of boys supported every form of violent extremism identified in the survey, 39% supported “right-wing” types, followed by “White supremacist” on 29.7%, “anti-feminist” on 28.6%, “left-wing” on 28.5%, “incel” on 25.5%, “religious-based” on 21.1%.
>For girls, 17% supported all forms of violent extremism listed, including 30.4% for right-wing, 21.6% for left-wing, 21.1% for anti-feminist, 19.3% for White supremacist, 17.5% for incel, and 13.9% for religious-based.
>The research found that almost 24% of the 661 teenage boys surveyed exhibited radicalising intent, 18% sympathised with radical violence, and 10.4% harboured violent intent.
>36.3% agreed with “misogynistic attitudes”, 40.5% mistrusted women, 29% minimised violence against women, 20.7% excused the behaviour of those who use violence against women, and 20% disagreed with the concept of “affirmative consent”.

Somalia's unknown marxist history

Due to recent events in the news cycle putting a spotlight on Somalia, I'd like to remind people that Somalia has a socialist past that is completely unknown to most people. It was called the Somali Democratic Republic and its history with the USSR was mixed mostly due to the controversial figure Siad barre (picrel).

The most notable thing about the state was its literacy campaign. On August 1st, 1974, Somalia embarked on a revolutionary literacy campaign that defied global expectations. Against all advice, the government sent newly graduated students, armed only with whiteboards, chalk, and books, to teach nomadic populations across vast semi-desert landscapes. These young educators, who had just learned a brand new Somali script themselves, took on the monumental task of teaching reading and writing to unlettered communities. In less than a year, Somalia's literacy rate skyrocketed from a mere 15% to over 80%, earning the country a UNESCO award.

The republic eventually collapsed in 1991 due to rebel groups backed by Ethiopia which in turn was backed by the United States and lead to Somalia's civil war that is ongoing to this day.

Once the evidence of extreme abuse began surfacing in surprising numbers, the 'False Memory Syndrome Foundation' (FMSF) was set up to promote the theory that victims are suffering from a syndrome that creates false memories, often at the suggestion of psychotic parents or over-zealous psychiatrists.

The members of the FMSF have been called as expert witnesses in hundreds of trials around the United States and have been routinely quoted as experts in the media. Their mission has been exceptionally successful, as the 'false memory syndrome' has become accepted as a fact in most of the public consciousness. Unfortunately, people rarely stop to ask the question, who exactly are the members of the FMSF, and how solid is their science?

Peter J. Freyd initiated the founding of the FMSF after being accused of sexual abuse by his daughter, Jennifer. His behavior has been particularly suspect, such as accusing his daughter of being brain damaged, despite the fact that she holds a PhD in Psychology, graduated magna cum laude from Penn and is currently a tenured professor of psychology at the University of Oregon. Speaking to The Oregonian, Jennifer Freyd stated that “I’m sometimes flabbergasted that my memory is considered ‘false’ and my alcoholic father’s memory is considered rational and sane.”

Peter Freyd once stated that “With the help of Harold Lief and Martin Orne, the FMSF quickly gathered a respectable appearing advisory board, giving the new syndrome an aura of scientific acceptance.” Interestingly, Dr. Martin T. Orne has been heavily involved with MK-ULTRA experiments since the early '60s, where he undertook hypnosis studies at Harvard Medical School with a $30,000 grant from the CIA.

CIA documents have confirmed that Orne had a 'top secret' clearance in MK-ULTRA. He has published many papers relevant to the creation of a 'Manchurian candidate', including one called “Can a hypnotized subject be compelled to carry out otherwise unacceptable behavior?”, another called “The significance of unwitting cues for experimental outcomes: Toward a pragmatic approach”, and lastly “Restricted use of success cues in retrieval during post-hypnotic amnesia”.This is an interesting subject matter history given the FMSF's insistence that hypnotism is illegitimate.

Dr. Harold Lief was involved with brain electrode experiments at Tulane University, a notorious MK-ULTRA institution. Another prominent member, David Dinges, was a co-worker with Martin T. Orne and has been involved in research for Naval Intelligence, who oversaw the precursor mind control experiments to MK-ULTRA.

Founding member Ralph Underwager once proudly proclaimed to the pro-pedophilia publication Paidika:

“What I have been struck by as I have come to know more about and understand people who choose paedophilia is that they let themselves be too much defined by other people. That is usually an essentially negative definition. Paedophiles spend a lot of time and energy defending their choice. I don't think that a paedophile needs to do that. Paedophiles can boldly and courageously affirm what they choose. They can say that what they want is to find the best way to love. I am also a theologian and as a theologian, I believe it is God's will that there be closeness and intimacy, unity of the flesh, between people.

A paedophile can say: "This closeness is possible for me within the choices that I've made." Paedophiles are too defensive. They go around saying, "You people out there are saying that what I choose is bad, that it's no good. You're putting me in prison, you're doing all these terrible things to me. I have to define my love as being in some way or other illicit." What I think is that paedophiles can make the assertion that the pursuit of intimacy and love is what they choose. With boldness, they can say, "I believe this is in fact part of God's will."

Regarding the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, Columbia Journalism Review stated:

"Rarely has such a strange and little-understood organization had such a profound effect on media coverage of such a controversial matter. The [False Memory Syndrome] foundation is an aggressive, well-financed PR machine adept at manipulating the press, harassing its critics, and mobilizing a diverse army of psychiatrists, outspoken academics, expert defense witnesses, litigious lawyers, Freud bashers, critics of psychotherapy, and devastated parents.”

The FMSF has repeatedly cited a study presented at a Harvard conference where researchers were repeatedly able to implant the false memory of mundane tasks like grocery shopping, into their subjects using techniques such as hypnosis. It has been championed as proof that memories are easily manipulated. However, research has shown that memories of abuse function very differently than average memories.

“However, leading memory researchers such as Dr. Bessel van der Kolk of Harvard Medical School maintain that traumatic memories, which typically are engraved in the sensorimotor processes, are not subject to the same kinds of contamination that can affect normal memory. Traumatic amnesia, described in the DSM-III-R as psychogenic amnesia, is a phenomenon which has been known to mental health professionals for more than 100 years. The clinically observed characteristics of traumatic memory formation and retrieval match precisely the patterns of memory recovery exhibited by SRA [Satanic Ritual Abuse] survivors, and strongly confirm the reality of their cult abuse.”

There is also the case of Paul and Shirley Eberle, who are famous for propagating the idea of a 'satanic panic', that the widespread reporting of ritual abuse is merely a social contagion. They have published two books titled “The Politics of Child Abuse” and “The Abuse of Innocence” which promote this theory, and have been cited as experts in courts and the press. Ms. Magazine wrote a review of the interesting past of the Eberles, stating:

“What is startling about the Eberles' reputation as ground-breaking experts in the field is that their dubious credentials have not been widely challenged. Paul and Shirley Eberle edit a soft-core magazine in California called the L.A. Star that contains a mixture of nude photos, celebrity gossip, telephone sex ads, and promos for The Politics of Child Abuse.

In the 1970's, however, the Eberles were also publishing hard-core pornography. Their publication, Finger, depicted scenes of bondage, S & M, and sexual activities involving urination and defecation. A young girl portrayed with a wide smile on her face sits on top of a man whose penis is inside of her; a woman has oral sex with a young boy in a drawing entitled "Memories of My Boyhood."

The Eberles were featured nude on one cover holding two life-size blow up dolls names "Love Girl" and "Play Guy." No dates appear on the issues and the Eberles rarely attach their names, referring to themselves as "The L.A. Star Family."

The Eberles were the distributors of Finger and several other underground magazines, says Donald Smith, a sergeant with the obscenity section of the Los Angeles Police Department's vice division who followed the couple for years. LAPD was never able to prosecute for child pornography: "There were a lot of photos of people who looked like they were under age but we could never prove it." The pictures of young children in Finger are illustrations, and child pornography laws were less rigid a decade ago than they are today.

"Sexpot at Five," "My First Rape, She Was Only Thirteen," and "What Happens When uyghurs Adopt White Children" are some of the articles that appeared in Finger. One letter states: "I think it's really great that your mags have the courage to print articles & pixs [sic] on child sex… Too bad I didn't hear from more women who are into child sex… Since I'm single I'm not getting it on with my children, but I know of a few families that are. If I were married & my wife & kids approved–I'd be having sex with my daughters."

Another entry reads: "I'm a pedophile & I think its [sic] great a man is having sex with his daughter!…Since I didn't get Finger #3, I didn't get to see the stories & pics of family sex. Would like to see pics of nude girls making it with their daddy, but realize its too risky to print."

It is truly fascinating how 'compromised' the leading debunkers of ritual abuse are

Palestine Action defendants acquitted of aggravated burglary over arms factory raid
As the verdicts were being read, the defendants held hands and embraced in the dock, as families and supporters cheered and wept. The jury did not convict defendants Head, Corner and Kamio of violent disorder and acquitted Devlin, Rogers and Rajwani of the same charge. The jury was also hung on charges of criminal damage - despite five of the defendants admitting to destroying weapons and equipment belonging to Elbit Systems during the break-in. Additionally, jurors did not return a verdict on the charge faced by Corner of grievous bodily harm with intent for striking a police officer with a sledgehammer. The six defendants have been held for around 18 months on remand- exceeding standard UK custodial time limits.

Labour MPs voice ‘cover-up’ fears as Sir Keir admits he knew of Mandelson's Epstein links before making him ambassador
Back-bench MPs voiced opposition today to Sir Keir’s bid to withhold some papers related to Lord Mandelson’s appointment. The Tories used a Commons motion to demand the release of all papers related to the decision. The PM’s amendment proposed to withhold some “papers prejudicial to UK national security or international relations.” John McDonnell, Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington, argued that the amendment could lead to a cover-up.

Australian universities to be graded on how well they deal with protests under antisemitism report card
Universities will be graded on how well they “deal with” protests, encampments and the display of flags as part of a controversial antisemitism report card system adopted by the Albanese government after the Bondi terror attack, according to documents seen by Guardian Australia. The antisemitism envoy, Jillian Segal, devised the report card system as part of a wide-ranging plan handed down to the federal government last July to combat antisemitism, which also proposed withholding government funding from universities that “facilitate, enable or fail to act against antisemitism”.

Colombian and Ecuadorian merchants and truckers protest escalating trade war between both nations
Protesters called for their governments to eliminate 30% tariffs on dozens of goods, warning the levies will hurt the economy of border provinces and affect energy companies on both sides of the border. Tariffs “generate crises, they don’t help the economy,” said Carlos Bastidas, president of an Ecuadorian transportation workers association. “With this protest we are hoping that both presidents eliminate those measures” and establish mechanisms for dialogue, he added.
