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.
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.

Respect non communist thread
Are there any reactionary or non communist figures that you kinda support respect or like? And not the I like them because they are a meme or because they sabotaged themselves and their movement. Im talking more so about genuine respect towards them but still disagreeing with most of their policies. It doesnt have to be full like either just some degree of respect.

The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.
Porky has put a lot of effort since the Vietnam War to avoid making Amerikkkans feels the impacts of US wars of aggression to great success. Despite the amount of conflicts the US is involved in as we speak, anti-war sentiment is negligable. There was nothing like the anti-war movement during Vietnam, which by itself wasn't even strong enough to end the war either. It was the Vietnamese who militarily defeated the US that ended the war.
Amerikkkan reliance on proxies and mercs is the key to maintain the Empire. If they can make China's neighbours fight them in their stead, they they can win, and have East Asia plundered, like they have plundered Eastern Europe since the 90s, to give capitalism another 50 years.
China has failed to counter this problem completely, letting country after country on their borders fall into US hands in recent years. Once friendly countries turned into enemies.
China's rebranded 'socialism in one country' strategy isn't enough to resist US aggression. The US doen't need to do much to blockade Chinese shipping, and block all imports from entering the mainland. Going from "random" drone boats sent from US vallal states, to airstrikes and piracy conducted by US forces themselves, which they have been training for through the recent attacks on Russian and Venezuelan ships.
China can't retaliate against this adequately, due to their lack of bases or proxies of their own around Amerikkkan territory.
China's complete neglegt of this danger may be its downfall. For all their greatness, they cannot last against a neval blockade, land siege and hybrid warfare, the US has been preparing for.
This is why solidarity is so important. Supporting comrades in other countries isn't about kindness. It ensures you will not be attacked by brothers turned against you.
Meanwhile, the global bourgeoisie has shown extreme amounts of solidarity amongst themselves, to great effectiveness. They are very unified, especially compared to the 1910s, unlike us.
Here's how China may actually still lose
Sounds crazy, I know, but I think Xi-fans should at least consider the flaws of China's "Do nothing, win" strategy, and how it may paradoxically still lead to its undoing.The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.

This is probably a stupid question.
Is it possible for the globe to prioritize growth of the means of production sufficiently to allow for development of the developing world, and countries like China, without having deindustrialization of the developed world? I'm thinking of things like shifting production towards the manufacture of manufacturies, and the mass education of personnel. Something like creating the jobs and the consumers simultaneously.
Obviously there are constraints on resource, which only advancement of the means of production can eventually solve. But there's no rightful moral code that says that the developed countries are more entitled to these resources than the developing world. Could it be that within these limits that aggregate consumption could be grown on this model?
Is it possible that this can be done within the capitalist mode of production? It seems that this might be close to what the Soviet Union was capable of doing within its borders.
Global Industrialization without Deindustrialization
>I’m doing this because I want my factory worker to buy my cars. If they make enough money, they’ll buy my own product.This is probably a stupid question.

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.

In fact the entire Comintern was born out of the contradiction between the revolutionary content of Marxism and reformist nature of leftism, the murder of German communists at the hands of their left-socialist "comrades" cemented this seemingly forever (clearly not)
>In this connection all those parties that wish to belong to the Communist International must change their names. Every party that wishes to belong to the Communist International must bear the name Communist Party of this or that country (Section of the Communist International). The question of the name is not formal, but a highly political question of great importance. The Communist International has declared war on the whole bourgeois world and on all yellow social-democratic parties. The difference between the communist parties and the old official 'social-democratic' or 'socialist' parties that have betrayed the banner of the working class must be clear to every simple toiler.
<Twenty-one Conditions, Comintern 1919
Going further back to Marx, this distinction was evident (hence the "communist" manifesto)
>in 1847, socialism was a middle-class movement, communism a working-class movement. Socialism was, on the Continent at least, “respectable”; communism was the very opposite. And as our notion, from the very beginning, was that “the emancipation of the workers must be the act of the working class itself,” there could be no doubt as to which of the two names we must take. Moreover, we have, ever since, been far from repudiating it.
<Preface to the 1872 German Edition
>But why were the terms later used exchangeably by the early days of Lenin?
Simply, they were not. By "social democrats" Lenin was strictly referring to the membership of the SPD and its analogous party in Russia who upheld the doctrine of Marx at the time until the German SPD broke away from it.
>But why did Marx and Engels approve of the name SPD in the first place (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands)?
They did not. Both explicitly called the name unscientific and should always be treated as such by the party:
>The dialectician Engels remained true to dialectics to the end of his days. Marx and I, he said, had a splendid, scientifically exact name for the party, but there was no real party, i.e., no mass proletarian party. Now (at the end of the 19th century) there was a real party, but its name was scientifically wrong. Never mind, it would "pass muster", so long as the party developed, so long as the scientific in accuracy of the name was not hidden from it and did not hinder its development on the right direction!
<The State and Revolution, Chapter 4
They were the ones to re-name the League of Just to the Communist League of that wasn't obvious enough.
>acktuly Marx, Engels and Lenin were wrong. Leftist unity (class collaboration) now!!111
Okay. Just don't name yourself after the movement they represented then.
This is more than enough evidence to convince any serious communist that still using terms such as "Leftist" and "Socialist" or to identify with organisations that do, after this split was officially settled for over a century, has nothing to do with communism. This is not even to touch on the popular front slogan which is laughably opportunist.
>At the moment, while the democratic petty bourgeois are everywhere oppressed, they preach to the proletariat general unity and reconciliation; they extend the hand of friendship, and seek to found a great opposition party which will embrace all shades of democratic opinion; that is, they seek to ensnare the workers in a party organization in which general social-democratic phrases prevail while their particular interests are kept hidden behind, and in which, for the sake of preserving the peace, the specific demands of the proletariat may not be presented. Such a unity would be to their advantage alone and to the complete disadvantage of the proletariat. The proletariat would lose all its hard-won independent position and be reduced once more to a mere appendage of official bourgeois democracy. This unity must therefore be resisted in the most decisive manner.
<Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League, 1850
Communism is not "Leftism"
Communism is neither related to "Leftism" nor "Socialism", in fact these reformist movements are antithetical to Communism.Before some illiterate dumbass takes this as lazy "sectarianism", this was the key issue the Communist International meant to settle.

Starmer prepares for parliamentary battles over imminent EU ‘reset’ bill
The legislation aims to introduce an alignment mechanism for the agrifoods and electricity trading deals agreed with EU leaders but still under negotiation. The bill will hand ministers powers to go beyond what the UK has agreed so far, giving future administrations the power to potentially align standards in other sectors and keep pace with new EU regulation.

German prosecutors open terror probe into Berlin blackout
The attack was claimed online by a far-left extremist group calling itself Vulkangruppe, or Volcano Group, which said it was targeting "the fossil fuel economy" driving climate change. "In the greed for energy, the Earth is being drained, sucked dry, burned, ravaged, razed, raped and destroyed," the group wrote. Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner condemned the attack, saying "suspected left-wing extremists knowingly put lives at risk, especially those of patients in hospitals, as well as the elderly, children and families."

Israeli forces fire live rounds and teargas as they storm Birzeit University
Israeli forces fired live ammunition and teargas at students and teachers as they stormed Birzeit University on Tuesday. At least 8,000 students are trapped inside the top Palestinian university, located just north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, according to Palestine's Government Communication Centre. Over forty people, mostly students, were injured, with one image showing a trail of blood at the scene of the raid.

The official IRNA news agency said "some" people were arrested, without giving numbers.

Colombian president says ‘I will take up arms again’ if US invades
Petro, a former leftist guerrilla who demobilised in the 1990s, rejected the accusations, saying: “I am not illegitimate and I am not a narco. “Trump speaks without knowledge. Stop slandering me,” he wrote in a post on X. “If they [the US] bombs, the campesinos will become thousands of guerrillas in the mountains. And if they detain the president which a large part of the country loves and respects, they will unleash the ‘jaguar’ of the people,” Petro warned.

In post-Maduro Venezuela, US eyes security chief as potential target, sources say
Diosdado Cabello, who controls security forces accused of widespread human rights abuses, is one of a handful of Maduro loyalists that President Donald Trump has decided to rely on as temporary rulers to maintain stability during a transition period, said one source briefed on the administration’s thinking. U.S. officials are especially concerned that Cabello, given his record of repression and history of rivalry with Rodriguez, could play the spoiler and are seeking to force his cooperation even as they look for ways to eventually push him out of power and into exile, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

“Far left” extremism must be included in Bondi inquiry’s terms of reference: Ley
Earlier, another group of prominent Australians joined calls for a federal royal commission into anti-Semitism, saying Mr Albanese “should act immediately” on anti-Jewish hatred. The open letter, penned by more than 30 former defence, security and intelligence officials, claimed anti-Semitism had “already exposed Australia to foreign interference from hostile states and extremist groups”.or failing to address “radical Islamic extremism in their language or their intentions” in the weeks following the attack, but reiterated the Coalition’s commitment to working on a bipartisan basis.

There is more proletarian solidarity to be potentially found among the conscripted ranks of the IDF and Wehrmacht than in your mercenary petty bourgeois/labor aristocrat army
Every dead american soldier is a victory for the international working class. Further proof of this is in the rise of anti-war sentiment among the american proletariat whenever the cost of war spikes (Vietnam, War on Terror) compared to the jingoistic character they generally take whenever it goes their way (WW2, Gulf War), it also has a proletarianization effect on volunteers.

While we do not envy or disdain the bourgeoisie as is common of the middle class, as that would reinforce the role of competition in society, Marx also notes that there can be no class war without class hate. Hating your class enemies (police/army) can be revolutionary, granted it doesn't distract from the materialist critique of class society that is absent of morality.

like, the world moves very differently under a free trade pro immigration system than a protectionist traditionalist anti immigration system.

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

How exactly do we successfully fight against and reverse Gen Alpha brainrot?

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?

'Haute bourgeoisie' – Big bourgeoisie
'Petty bourgeoisie' – Petty bourgeoisie (Small bourgeoisie)
'Middle class' – Middle class
'Proletariat' – Working class
'Lumpenproletariat' – Lumpenproletariat
The labor aristocracy is a stratum positioned between the middle class and the petty bourgeoisie. Students (as a stratum) are predominantly found among the proletariat and the middle class.
Theses on the Development of the Party
Class Struggle
Individual members of a class recognize their immediate material interest.
Through this immediate material interest, they recognize certain shared characteristics of the class.
Consciousness of oneself as a member of a class. Class organization. Class movement.
The Party of a class is the organization of class organizations.
The Party is the embodiment of the political, organizational, and historical will of a class.
The immediate material interest of the worker is a shorter working day and higher wages. The relationship between working hours and wages is determined daily within the context of class struggle. Workers may orient themselves based on class instinct, but they do not always recognize it as the instinct of a class.
This means the worker, without necessarily perceiving himself as a worker, recognizes his interest in shorter hours and higher pay.
When a participant in the labor movement is reduced to destitution, this instinct can become harmful. Among the lumpenproletariat, it manifests as "hustle culture."
Workers can never, on their own, bridge the gap between the 'organization of workers' and the 'workers' organization'. Intellectuals are required for this.
Intellectuals are, roughly speaking, that section of the working class primarily engaged in mental labor.
Here, we do not exclude organic intellectuals who may, under given circumstances, transcend the narrow-mindedness of a single class; however, such cases are accidental, spontaneous, and—most importantly—slow.
'Organizations of workers' are organizations whose membership is predominantly working-class, yet they lack significance as class organizations.
Examples include hunting societies, folklore groups, cultural societies, etc. This does not exclude organizations that 'should' be class organizations but are not—we refer here primarily to so-called yellow unions.
'Workers' organizations' are organizations whose members need not be workers, yet they possess significance as class organizations of the proletariat.
In recent history, 'organizations of workers' have largely been integrated into the social order via so-called "social dialogue." This means that when exploitation is not excessive, organizations of workers remain passive bodies that may even instill false consciousness in the worker.
The labor movement occurs when workers redirect existing 'organizations of workers' toward the fulfillment of a specific goal set by them, which need not be of a class nature.
The ideas of the labor movement may be far removed from the ideas of Marxism, even if the latter are accepted within 'workers' organizations'.
The fundamental question of Leninism is the question of the synthesis, confluence, and fusion of the labor movement and Marxism.
It is inevitable that, in this process, a certain division of labor will be imposed from without.
On one hand, the mental labor of organizing communist society—as it emerges from the capitalist one—will fall to the 'workers' organizations'.
On the other hand, the practical work of organizing that society will fall to the 'organizations of workers'.
An example of this process is Marxism and the (Paris) Commune; or Leninism and the (Petrograd) Soviet.
In this process, 'workers' organizations' cannot play a passive role. That is the error of Left-Wing Communism. They must accelerate the synthesis of the labor movement and Marxism. They must accelerate the overcoming of class narrow-mindedness.
'Workers' organizations' must subject their theories to the criterion of reality.
The sole criterion of science is the criterion of reality. This means a theory is correct exclusively if it can be applied and does not contradict reality.
The measure of a theory’s correctness is precisely the measure of the synthesis between the labor movement and Marxism.
Membership in organizations is drawn from one or more classes. Organizations always possess a minimal division of labor and, consequently, a central body that manages affairs. The larger the organization, the more complex the division of labor, and the central body managing affairs operates at a higher degree of generalization.
This means that from particular, distinct (identical or conflicting) interests, common points are increasingly extracted; a synthesis of new, more general ideas is formed, broadly encompassing the problems the organization (or organizations) faces.
At a certain stage of development, 'workers' organizations' will be numerous. In such circumstances, a need arises among the more advanced elements to coordinate joint work, primarily because the need for state-wide work and organization is recognized.
The organization of workers' organizations is the Party.
The Party is the central body that manages affairs between workers' organizations.
The Party represents the most general interest of the working class: the abolition of private property and the abolition of the State.
The big or small bourgeois possesses an interest immediately opposed to that of the worker. They desire a longer working day for their workers (so that they themselves do not have to work, or work less) and lower wages, as this directly reduces production costs.
The bourgeois, the bourgeoisie, and their organizations undergo the same abstract process described above.
Bourgeois organizations are ministries, the police, the military, prisons, etc. The bourgeois, as a rule, does not work. There exists a special stratum (the labor aristocracy, the petty bourgeoisie, and a myriad of petty-bourgeois elements who have integrated into the labor of civil society) that organizes on his behalf.
The organization of bourgeois organizations is the State.
The State is the central body that (alongside everything else to be said about the state below) regulates affairs between bourgeois organizations.
The State protects private property. It is the most general organization for the defense of private property that the bourgeoisie possesses.
The Party and the State
Classes'Haute bourgeoisie' – Big bourgeoisie
'Petty bourgeoisie' – Petty bourgeoisie (Small bourgeoisie)
'Middle class' – Middle class
'Proletariat' – Working class
'Lumpenproletariat' – Lumpenproletariat
The labor aristocracy is a stratum positioned between the middle class and the petty bourgeoisie. Students (as a stratum) are predominantly found among the proletariat and the middle class.
Theses on the Development of the Party
Class Struggle
Individual members of a class recognize their immediate material interest.
Through this immediate material interest, they recognize certain shared characteristics of the class.
Consciousness of oneself as a member of a class. Class organization. Class movement.
The Party of a class is the organization of class organizations.
The Party is the embodiment of the political, organizational, and historical will of a class.
The immediate material interest of the worker is a shorter working day and higher wages. The relationship between working hours and wages is determined daily within the context of class struggle. Workers may orient themselves based on class instinct, but they do not always recognize it as the instinct of a class.
This means the worker, without necessarily perceiving himself as a worker, recognizes his interest in shorter hours and higher pay.
When a participant in the labor movement is reduced to destitution, this instinct can become harmful. Among the lumpenproletariat, it manifests as "hustle culture."
Workers can never, on their own, bridge the gap between the 'organization of workers' and the 'workers' organization'. Intellectuals are required for this.
Intellectuals are, roughly speaking, that section of the working class primarily engaged in mental labor.
Here, we do not exclude organic intellectuals who may, under given circumstances, transcend the narrow-mindedness of a single class; however, such cases are accidental, spontaneous, and—most importantly—slow.
'Organizations of workers' are organizations whose membership is predominantly working-class, yet they lack significance as class organizations.
Examples include hunting societies, folklore groups, cultural societies, etc. This does not exclude organizations that 'should' be class organizations but are not—we refer here primarily to so-called yellow unions.
'Workers' organizations' are organizations whose members need not be workers, yet they possess significance as class organizations of the proletariat.
In recent history, 'organizations of workers' have largely been integrated into the social order via so-called "social dialogue." This means that when exploitation is not excessive, organizations of workers remain passive bodies that may even instill false consciousness in the worker.
The labor movement occurs when workers redirect existing 'organizations of workers' toward the fulfillment of a specific goal set by them, which need not be of a class nature.
The ideas of the labor movement may be far removed from the ideas of Marxism, even if the latter are accepted within 'workers' organizations'.
The fundamental question of Leninism is the question of the synthesis, confluence, and fusion of the labor movement and Marxism.
It is inevitable that, in this process, a certain division of labor will be imposed from without.
On one hand, the mental labor of organizing communist society—as it emerges from the capitalist one—will fall to the 'workers' organizations'.
On the other hand, the practical work of organizing that society will fall to the 'organizations of workers'.
An example of this process is Marxism and the (Paris) Commune; or Leninism and the (Petrograd) Soviet.
In this process, 'workers' organizations' cannot play a passive role. That is the error of Left-Wing Communism. They must accelerate the synthesis of the labor movement and Marxism. They must accelerate the overcoming of class narrow-mindedness.
'Workers' organizations' must subject their theories to the criterion of reality.

The latter decisions that weren’t made are far from impossible to pull off. With a fraction of the money much of the American leftist community has, most reactionary communities have maintained such institutions and services for decades to centuries depending on which community you look into. It would objectively be far more practical regardless to focus more on internal organization and building structure to this community of people rather than shifting attention consistently to the media and national audience where efforts are diluted in coordination and often reliant on demonstrations of moral upstanding and humanistic virtue rather than concrete action. It wouldn’t be any harder to pull off than any new protest or movement, and it wouldn’t cost much to anyone especially if money is pulled.
So why didnt these actions occur?
Visibility over organization
The American leftist community failed to make meaningful changes on a local and national level over because it prioritized visibility over internal organization and protection. Most of its efforts have centered more around activism, protests, and campaign movements rather than fundraisers, mutual aid (this actually was done, but to a very limited degree), community protection services (only the black American has had any success in organizing armed defence for marginalized communities so far and even that’s limited to black Americans), and facilities for allied groups beyond gay bars and clubs which are often out of reach for most Americans.The latter decisions that weren’t made are far from impossible to pull off.

What are your thoughts on the (now old) Chongqing model, and how does it relate to the modern policies of the CCP?
Some parts of the model sound to me quite foolish, namely the singing of old (maoist) songs, and the crack down on hooliganism. But I'm especially interested in the housing projects on Singapore Housing and Development Board (HDB) model. This initiative seems to have built *13 million square meters of public housing*, providing millions of people with homes. I'm also interested in how increased profits from SOEs might have prevented some deficit spending. He also apparently lowered taxes on corporations which raising them wealthy individuals, and perhaps caused some deficit spending. With the existing housing crisis it seems to me yet again that there is a model for the world in this policy.
I'm not sure if the deficit spending was reasonable or not, and would like some information on this as well as how agreeable this faction is in general.

Origins and Meaning
The term bǎi làn literally translates to "let it rot" or "let it decay." It originated from basketball slang, where it described teams deliberately giving up in a losing game (similar to "tanking" in English). In broader usage, it means voluntarily retreating from or embracing a deteriorating situation rather than fighting to improve it, often out of a sense that effort is futile.
Young people adopting this mindset might:
- Perform the bare minimum at work (or poorly on purpose).
- Avoid ambitious goals like buying property.
- Delay or reject marriage and children.
- Generally disengage from traditional markers of success.
bai lan is based and we need it in the west as well
The "let it rot" movement (known in Chinese as bǎi làn, 摆烂) is a social and cultural phenomenon among China's youth, particularly Gen Z and millennials. It reflects widespread disillusionment with intense societal pressures, economic challenges, and the relentless "hustle culture."Origins and Meaning

At the most fundamental level, a life form is defined as an entity that is able to replicate. Our economic system fulfils a long list of criteria that classify it not only as a life form, but as a ruthless predator who will stop at nothing in its quest to multiply. Capitalism has proven to be the ultimate invasive life form, capable of subsisting on scraps and even cannibalise itself to survive. Nothing can kill it, not even its creators who long ago became servants and dependents.
The toxic partnership between humans and capitalism is a symbiosis that took millennia to evolve. What keeps humans enslaved to this system is the dogma that profit is the goal of all social organisation. As long as this dogma persists, the hard financial figures will take precedence over people, lifeforms and planet. This economy is a death cult that sustains itself through murder: thriving on expiration dates, diminishing resources, extinction, disposable products and disposable workers. It owes its existence and persistence down to its ability to live out of the carcass of its own mother, the Earth. It is time we start calling it by its real name: necrocapitalism.
The reason we are unable to prevent our self-destruction is that we are simply not in charge. The system we created has become our boss, keeping us on a leash with salaries, alarm clocks and addictions. We think that we are the architects of this system when in fact we are simply employees: full of obligations, but devoid of any real freedoms. The system holds all the cards, ready to discard us along with its toxic waste, unless we cooperate and participate in its global ecological fraud operation. This monstrous progeny of our greed now runs the planet. It operates not on dreams, laughter, feelings, creativity, love, compassion or any of our best human qualities. It operates on profit and its most prized commodity: death.
But there is a new development: necrocapitalism is increasingly taking on an algorithmic nature, moving even further beyond the control of humans. Our economic system now has a mind of its own. It owns us, Earth’s resources, and it will deplete everything before it turns the gun to its head. I call this necrocapitalist entity The Thing, because it displays characteristics similar to those of a life form: self-realisation, a desire for progeny, and a survival agenda. As capitalism increasingly interfaces with intelligent technology, it becomes a fully complete, sentient lifeform. We are at the doorstep of a dystopian age where even our delusions of agency, choice, free will and personal sovereignty will be taken away from us for good by something that knows us thousands of times better than we know ourselves.
Necrocapitalism is a descriptive term based on observation, not theory: our civilisations were never successful. They just migrated to new locations after they had destroyed everything, including themselves. The existential problem of all civilisations is that they were self-programmed to implode by following the same fatal recipe of maximum death, maximum profit economics over and over. These self-destructive narratives of growth, supremacy and technological disruption convinced us every single time that “this time would be different”, only to face disaster yet again.
Our current situation is no different. Today's definition of business success is to deplete all raw materials as quickly as possible. Once this realisation dawns, it becomes abundantly clear why humans are in technical terms already finished. Our economy is programmed to be a beast that never sleeps, who doesn’t know how to pace itself or conserve its energy. Its remit is to keep going until it collapses.
Addressing the faults of this economic system is impossible without addressing human nature itself. Necrocapitalism is a product of the self-destructive human unconscious, feeding on the false narratives of growth and supremacy comprising the Civilisational Lie. Given that we operated a self-destructive economic model for more than 200 thousand years, moving to a sustainable one would require a complete rethink of culture, society and our perception of human existence itself. This can only happen through the demolition of growth and supremacy narratives, not through new gadgets or economic models.
Yet all popular propositions for solving overshoot today fail to free themselves from the toxic narratives of the Civilisational Lie. For every honest account on overshoot and self-destruction there are twenty more advocating a repeat of the same: a “new” civilisation through upgraded technology, not upgraded humans. They propose unrealistic solutions that ultimately lead to self-destruction because they fail to address growth, ecological destruction and many other elements of overshoot. The self-destructiveness of humanity is reflected in the economic system it has chosen: offering the fastest, biggest returns in the short term, at an existential cost that can be deferred to unborn, future generations. The more this civilisation refuses to acknowledge the unsustainable foundations of its existence, the more it confirms its ultimate destiny to self-annihilate.
It is wisdom that should be our priority, but all evidence points to a lack of it. We suffer from a tremendously long list of cognitive biases that make us extremely receptive to narratives that help us avoid the truth. The lies our civilisations subscribe to have not changed for thousands of years. By all accounts our journey through evolution has already come to an end. Despite countless opportunities to do things differently, we have demonstrated again and again that we are only capable of forming civilisations that self-destruct. We only know how to move from one disaster to the next, until there is nowhere to go but disaster.
Profit can only be selfish and self-interested. Necrocapitalism has no loyalties, alliances, feelings or even an ideology, because it never had any values to begin with. This system doesn’t care about humans, in much the same way it doesn’t care about its self-destruction. Seamlessly enmeshed into society to the extent where it masquerades as society itself, The Thing in fact controls us. It mirrors some of our tendencies and may appear human, but it is a product of us, not us. It has no concern for human preoccupations and existential needs and is only concerned with the hard cold figures of its profit forecast.
We have every reason to wish to dismantle an economic system which has become an existential threat. Any economic system which sees nature and human rights as threats to its bottom line is ultimately a threat to nature, humans and everything on this planet.
Make no mistake: The Thing is real, and not a theoretical, nebulous technoentity. The reason we cannot see it or name it is because it is ubiquitous, and because we have given it human characteristics. We created this system to embody and execute our vision of domination and greed, unaware that one day it would become the incarnation of greed itself. The Thing has hijacked the central nervous system of civilisation, co-evolving with us as an internal parasite.
The Thing is evolving into an optimized logistical device with orders of magnitude more processing power than the human brain, but zero accountability to anything or anyone. It is the perfect planet-killing machine, unaware of what pain, guilt or remorse even are. Yet we have placed it in charge of everything, and even consider it to be a part of us, simply because we created it. We are about to pay a hefty price for our incredible naivety.
We were always destined to eventually succumb to our single biggest evolutionary pressure: the need for greed as a survival mechanism. In this sense we have barely every been truly self-aware: we are incredibly efficient in resource appropriation and exploitation, but this is not intelligence by any measure. It is a type of skill. The problem with logistical skills is that they eventually become outdated by something bigger with more processing power. True intelligence, which both us and The Thing probably lack, theoretically has a much longer lifetime. Without true intelligence we are destined to develop tools which eventually take on a life of their own and supersede us. We become peripheral, expendable components within a semi-sentient self-destructive ecosystem of perishable skills. This is an evolution lesson which is too dark, dystopian, and difficult to swallow to ever be taught in schools but, should at least be considered and debated. Our destiny by all accounts and historical records has always been to self-annihilate. As we wait for The Thing to get rid of us altogether at the next software update, do we have what it takes to wake up?

Is This Where The Human Evolution Journey Ends?
Humans would like to believe that they represent the forefront of evolution, but there are other forms of life on Earth, both natural and artificial, that supersede them. The most terrifying life form on the planet right now is our economic system: a logistical network originally developed by humans to serve humans, but which now serves itself. We may be the creators of this system, but we have long ago been reduced to resources within it: we are its maintenance engineers, and at the same time the raw material for its expansion. This civilisation is already working for its future boss: the algorithms that have outsmarted us.At the most fundamental level, a life form is defined as an entity that is able to replicate. Our economic system fulfils a long list of criteria that classify it not only as a life form, but as a ruthless predator who will stop at nothing in its quest to multiply. Capitalism has proven to be the ultimate invasive life form, capable of subsisting on scraps and even cannibalise itself to survive. Nothing can kill it, not even its creators who long ago became servants and dependents.
The toxic partnership between humans and capitalism is a symbiosis that took millennia to evolve. What keeps humans enslaved to this system is the dogma that profit is the goal of all social organisation. As long as this dogma persists, the hard financial figures will take precedence over people, lifeforms and planet. This economy is a death cult that sustains itself through murder: thriving on expiration dates, diminishing resources, extinction, disposable products and disposable workers. It owes its existence and persistence down to its ability to live out of the carcass of its own mother, the Earth. It is time we start calling it by its real name: necrocapitalism.
The reason we are unable to prevent our self-destruction is that we are simply not in charge. The system we created has become our boss, keeping us on a leash with salaries, alarm clocks and addictions. We think that we are the architects of this system when in fact we are simply employees: full of obligations, but devoid of any real freedoms.

Barry Pollack — the Washington lawyer who represented WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange — will defend toppled Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in a U.S. drug case that could test immunity claims for foreign leaders and the legality of his capture. Pollack appeared with Maduro on Monday as he pleaded not guilty in Manhattan federal court days after Maduro and his wife were seized in a U.S. military raid. Defending Assange gave Pollack a taste of cases steeped in global intrigue and with consequences for America’s standing in the world. The case tested whether U.S. law could criminalize the publishing of sensitive information.

Israel extends Gaza occupation beyond ‘yellow line’ in north, bombs south
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said, “The ongoing Israeli attacks on the ground, the expansion of the ‘yellow line’ are meant to eat up more of the territory across the eastern part, really shrinking the total area where people are sheltering.” “Everyone is cramped here. The population here not just doubled but tripled in many of the neighbourhoods, given the fact that none of these people is able to go back to their neighbourhoods. We’re talking about Zeitoun, Shujayea, as well as Tuffah,” he added.

Israeli media and US lawmakers signal Iran intervention after Venezuela attack
The Jerusalem Post reported on Monday that the US is weighing “some intervention” in Iran’s protests. The article also said how Israel believes that the US’s abduction of Maduro over the weekend may indicate a new US risk threshold for intervention in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The report follows an appearance by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Fox News in which he sported a “Make Iran Great Again” baseball hat, saying, “I pray and hope 2026 will be the year that we make Iran great again.”

UN team enters Sudanese city of El Fasher after paramilitary massacre: ‘It’s like a ghost town’
The UN team members were the first external witnesses to arrive at the epicenter of the tragedy. What they found was a destroyed and deserted city as well as abandoned villages nearby, triggering serious concerns for the civilians who remain there and for those missing. In August, the UN estimated the town’s population at around 260,000 people, of whom about 100,000 fled after the RSF seized the site. So far, no one has been able to confirm the whereabouts or wellbeing of tens of thousands of missing residents.

UK: Labour minister tells local councils they could be sued for boycotting Israel
The threat comes after multiple local authorities in the past year voted to boycott companies complicit in Israeli war crimes, arm Israel or benefit from its occupation of Palestinian territory. "Councils should stay out of foreign conflicts and get on with the job of delivering local services," Communities Secretary Steve Reed said. The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded in 2005 as a means of non-violently pressuring Israel to comply with its obligations under international law. In opposition the Labour Party opposed a bill brought by the Conservative government in 2024 banning public bodies from divesting in Israel.

The two student activists were a leading voice in nationwide protests against the citizenship law, which marked one of the most significant challenges to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s far-right Hindu nationalist government. Their detention has been widely seen as emblematic of a broader crackdown on dissent under Mr Modi, drawing criticism from rights groups over the use of anti-terror laws against activists and student leaders.

South Yemen secessionists, supported by the UAE, are crushing the Saudi puppet state and took over most of the cities in the Southern part of the country, also taking control of the Oman-Yemen border. But the Southern Transitional Council isn't communist like was South Yemen, and fully supports the Palestinian genocide:
https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/us/2025/09/24/southern-independence-opens-door-to-ties-with-israel-says-yemens-al-zubaidi/
>Transitional Council chief says Abraham Accords will be key to stability after Gaza war
Declaring an independent southern Yemeni state would pave the way for entering the Abraham Accords, the deputy chairman of Yemen's Presidential Council Aidarous Al Zubaidi told The National in an interview.
>The president of the Southern Transitional Council said all the conditions were in place for statehood and added that secession would allow the south to make its own foreign policy decisions, including the option of joining the Abraham Accords.
>“Before the events in Gaza, we were advancing towards joining the Abraham Accords,” he said. “If Gaza and Palestine regain their rights, the Accords will be essential for stability in the region. When we have our southern state, we will make our own decisions and I believe we will be part of these accords.”
>Yemen's eight-member Presidential Council leads the anti-Houthi, internationally recognised government in exile in Aden. The secessionist Southern Transitional Council holds three of those eight seats.

South Yemen secessionists, supported by the UAE, are crushing the Saudi puppet state and took over most of the cities in the Southern part of the country, also taking control of the Oman-Yemen border. But the Southern Transitional Council isn't communist like was South Yemen, and fully supports the Palestinian genocide:

>Transitional Council chief says Abraham Accords will be key to stability after Gaza war
Declaring an independent southern Yemeni state would pave the way for entering the Abraham Accords, the deputy chairman of Yemen's Presidential Council Aidarous Al Zubaidi told The National in an interview.
>The president of the Southern Transitional Council said all the conditions were in place for statehood and added that secession would allow the south to make its own foreign policy decisions, including the option of joining the Abraham Accords.
>“Before the events in Gaza, we were advancing towards joining the Abraham Accords,” he said. “If Gaza and Palestine regain their rights, the Accords will be essential for stability in the region. When we have our southern state, we will make our own decisions and I believe we will be part of these accords.”

“Land Back” vs Antideutsche
Genuinely what is the difference between the two? Both insist that the people of a nation are inherently evil because of a genocide their ancestors committed before they were even born. Both are highly liberal, postmodernist, and anti-communist. For example, in one of the most popular works of “decolonial” theory of the land back movement, “For America to Live, Europe Must Die” (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/russell-means-for-america-to-live-europe-must-die), the author spends more time complaining about state socialist countries like Vietnam and China because they set up Western style governments and industrial economies that damage the environment. This ignores the obvious fact without a modern industrial base and centralized state you’re not gonna be able to beat another centralized industrialized state like America, and in reality abandoning any structure able to stand up to the American war machine means you have no plan for revolution. Also, the fact is you’re not gonna have the numbers for a successful revolution without getting at least some people from the majority ethnic group on your side, imagine if the Bolsheviks or CCP only tried organizing the most oppressed ethnic groups in Russia or China while saying that all European Russian/Han Chinese people were inherently evil. They wouldn’t have gotten very far.

If we actually apply historical materialism instead of utopian wish-casting, it becomes obvious that Stalin and Deng aren't just "good" – they are the two greatest practitioners of Marxism in history because they did what Western leftists refuse to do: they prioritized the survival of the revolution over the approval of the bourgeoisie.
1. Stalin: The Shield
Stop crying about "authoritarianism" and read Losurdo. His Critique of a Black Legend completely exposes how the "millions dead" narrative is just recycled Nazi war propaganda that the West adopted during the Cold War. The "Holodomor" wasn't a genocide; it was a combination of kulak sabotage and cyclical drought that the Soviets eventually ended through collectivization. Stalin understood that you don't survive capitalist encirclement with good vibes. He took a country of wooden plows and turned it into a nuclear superpower in a single generation. He purged the fifth columnists because he knew a war of annihilation was coming. Without that "authoritarianism," the Wehrmacht would have wiped the Slavs off the map.
2. Deng: The Sword
The hate for Deng is even more embarrassing. You guys claim to care about the poor but hate the man who oversaw the greatest poverty alleviation program in human history? Deng understood that "poverty is not socialism." He developed the productive forces necessary to compete with the West. And regarding 1989: He saved China from the fate of the USSR. Tiananmen was a textbook color revolution, backed by Western NGOs and intelligence. Deng saw Gorbachev selling out to Pizza Hut and realized that sometimes you have to crush a counter-revolution to preserve the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Because he had the spine to do that, China is now mogging the US economy while Russia spent the 90s getting looted by oligarchs.
TL;DR
Parenti said it best in Blackshirts and Reds: you people want a revolution without a revolution. You want a clean, safe process that never makes mistakes and never exercises power. That doesn't exist. Stalin secured the state; Deng secured the economy. If you reject them, you’re not a revolutionary – you’re just an idealist waiting to lose.
Stalin and Deng are the litmus test for whether you’re a materialist or just a liberal with red aest
The absolute state of the discourse on this board lately is pathetic. It’s almost 2026 and I’m still seeing "socialists" parroting CIA talking points like they’re reading from the Black Book of Communism. It’s time to filter the radlibs and the ultras who care more about moral purity than winning.If we actually apply historical materialism instead of utopian wish-casting, it becomes obvious that Stalin and Deng aren't just "good" – they are the two greatest practitioners of Marxism in history because they did what Western leftists refuse to do: they prioritized the survival of the revolution over the approval of the bourgeoisie.

What's up with Maduro?
I'm not too well versed in Venezuelan politics. A Venezuelan immigrant living in Brazil I know, who's kind of a radlib 'anarchist', has been posting that Trump is bad but the "dictator" Maduro is a tyrant criminal and responsible for the economic crisis (no mention of sactions for some reason) etc etc you know the drill. She larps as an indigenous artist but she's pale-skinned, her father is an engineer, she used to travel when she was a child, and she came here well-educated in her early teens, so there's no chance she wasn't upper-middle class or something and that makes me very suspicious of her perspective. Her family left Venezuela early during Maduro's first term, which is internationally recognized as legitimate.Blogpost aside, what's the consensus on Maduro?

Honestly it seems that "quiet" is their greatest asset, for it lets them brag and live out their fantasies of supremacy without reality interfering. It's why the /pol/ influence was strongest here in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
This is all very confusing. Even the El Chapo shoot out was way more dramatic.
My personal conspiracy theory is that even the PSUV was getting tired of the bus driver. A backroom deal to throw Maduro out solves so many issues for everyone involved. Trump gets an easy win and some shoring up for low oil prices, the Venezuelan government can finally reintroduce the foreign experts they need to actually exploit their oil, the Venezuelan socialists can now hold Maduro up as a martyr and proof of the inexorable yankee aggression towards Latin America. The only loser is the US state department which will have the headache of trying to convince foreign nations that the US is still reliable while under an admin that treats their department like a joke, but Trump likely doesn't care because for him long term foreign policy objectives are subordinate to his own domestic reputation. I mean it's downright bizarre to take Maduro and then (seemingly as of this moment) just fuck off to let his VP take charge without so much as getting anything for the actual Venezuelan opposition, iirc Trump even said that Venezuela isn't ready for the opposition party to take over. I feel like my thinking on this is highly conspiratorial, but to me this seems like the natural follow-up for this is an uneasy detente where the PSUV is able to continue grinding out its control over Venezuela with a more stabilized oil industry at the cost of some humiliation.
So what can Russia learn from America's 3hr special military operation in Venezuela?
Then an actual conflict happens, and the western affiliated side just effortlessly wipes the floor with their global south opposition and shocks and humiliates them.

It started in the late 1600s in America, but like so many scams, it spiraled out of control until it had a life of its own.
Not long after Europeans started arriving on the east coast of North America and the Caribbean Islands they found themselves rich in land but desperate for labor to work the land. The answer they struck upon was importation of bond labor, initially mostly Irish. The Irish had not been considered fully human under English law for centuries, and they ended up in plantations and working sugar under the Caribbean sun. The easy part of importing Irish (and Scottish) slave labor was that they were right next to England. The downside is there wasn’t enough of them for the amazing amounts of land laid before the eager English settlers, and thus the Atlantic slave trade with Africa was born. This is the story we hear in school, but the abridged version we get, intentionally or not, hides the scam of it. Initially the bond terms of convict, Scotch-Irish, and African labor was a set period of time, at the end of which they received bond money and their freedom in this new land. In fact, not that many bondsmen and women lived to be free, but some did, and established themselves as a mixed-race, free peasantry of the new world. If you’ve ever wondered where the free blacks of so many stories of early America came from, a large number were the families of freed African bond laborers.
As time went on, the labor needs of the land holders continued to grow, and desperate to cultivate the land, they were loathe to let go of their bond servants and the bondsmen and bondswomen’s children (whom they kept in bondage for a legally defined time as well). In the mean time, a growing American peasantry was proving as difficult to govern as the European peasantry back home, periodically rising up in riot and rebellion, light skinned and dark skinned together. The political leaders of the Virginia colony struck upon an answer to all these problems, an answer which plagues us to this day.
The Virginians legislated a new class of people into existence: the whites. They gave the whites certain rights, and took other rights from blacks. White, as a language of race, appears in Virginia around the 1680s, and seems to first appear in Virginia law in 1691. And thus whiteness, and to a degree as well blackness, was born in the mind of America.
As of the 18th century whites could not be permanently enslaved as they sometimes had been before, and black slaves could never work their way to freedom. The whites were told this was because God had made the blacks inferior to the whites, just as the whites were inferior to the superior classes that owned property. It’s worthwhile to remember that they didn’t give whites political rights, they didn’t give whites the vote — that would not happen then nor at the revolution and independence. Whites didn’t get the vote until the presidency of Andrew Jackson. Property owners, both of land and slaves, were the only ones who could vote. That included black land and slave owners until various states passed laws in the early 18th century to take their franchise away.
This plan worked gorgeously. It broke all efforts of the majority of people, African or European, to fight for civil and political rights in America against a landed class that ruled everything. It reduced a portion of the people to the status of the negro slave, and gave the poor but now white people a precious and entitled inch to stand above the permanently enslaved on the social ladder. The next thing the politicians did sealed the deal: they paid poor whites a bounty for runaway slaves, and often made them overseers for slaves, turning every poor white in America into a prison guard against the people who had once been their neighbors and allies.
If this seems like a crazy way for people to behave, it’s important to think about what was believed about the natural order of things back in the 1600s. Nowadays, we don’t really think about class as a thing that often, and certainly not a natural thing. But when white and black people were conceived, the idea of class was literally believed to be handed down from God. Aristocracy flowed from the divine right of kings, and by their blood or elevation. The poor were poor because God so wished it. Keeping peasants in line and using them to their fullest was what the aristocracy was for, and the tactics that accomplished this were considered wise stewardship. Sometimes that meant concessions, and sometimes divide and conquer, but as long as you didn’t have peasant rebellions, you were doing a good job. This view of the world, never universal but powerful and prevalent, held on in one form or another for a very long time. It infected the views of British, Spanish, Dutch, and French imperial masters all over. The powerful were those God had chosen, and those in their power were chosen by God to be of use. While fainter, this idea is so strong it still leaks into the modern era in places like the atheological ideas of Prosperity Christianity. In the frame of mind of aristocracy and a divinely ordained ruling class, such a plan to reorder people and make them pliant was understood to be a move of genius blessed by god and king, if it worked.
This plan worked, in fact it worked so well it became the blueprint for the next few centuries of colonization, revised and spread all over the world, even beyond the conception of white and black.
As the aristocrats and their successors traveled around the world through the colonial age, Europeans all over would find or define a group within the colonial territory and elevate it above the other groups, give it some privileges, though never enough to challenge the intruding rulers. In exchange for this slightly elevated status, the rulers would make those people do the colonial dirty work, and usually keep them slightly more well off than their fellows. Over time, these slightly elevated people often tried to keep their European masters in power even after the people realized how evil colonialism was, maintaining the system both to keep above their fellows and out of fear of retaliation for the dirty work they’d done. The most familiar contemporary case of this practice people will recognize is the Belgian categorization of Tutsis and Hutus, and the tragedy that still hangs over that arrangement over a century later. But really, the idea started in Virginia.

As the aristocrats and their successors traveled around the world through the colonial age, Europeans all over would find or define a group within the colonial territory and elevate it above the other groups, give it some privileges, though never enough to challenge the intruding rulers. In exchange for this slightly elevated status, the rulers would make those people do the colonial dirty work, and usually keep them slightly more well off than their fellows. Over time, these slightly elevated people often tried to keep their European masters in power even after the people realized how evil colonialism was, maintaining the system both to keep above their fellows and out of fear of retaliation for the dirty work they’d done. The most familiar contemporary case of this practice people will recognize is the Belgian categorization of Tutsis and Hutus, and the tragedy that still hangs over that arrangement over a century later. But really, the idea started in Virginia.

Daily reminder that a revolution is not successful unless it actually succeeds at its stated goals. Jettisoning any and all ideological standards in the name of "defending the revolution" isn't a victory for communism, because it doesn't actually get us any closer to communism. Leninist states like the Soviet Union and PRC have, in terms of material reality, rather than stated ideology, not only failed to achieve classless, stateless societies, but have instead drifter further and further away from their supposed goal the longer they've been in existence.
The future, the actual future, is left communism. Leninism is an infantile disorder.
Left Communism Won
Daily reminder that, contrary to Leninist claims, so-called left communism has been tried and has succeeded. Rojava and the Zapatistas have both maintained genuine classless, stateless societies for over a decade each, 12 years for the former, 30 years for the latter. A decade, let alone three, is not a fluke, it's a success story. It's especially not a fluke when you've survived despite being at the barrel of a hundred guns, which is the case with Rojava.Daily reminder that a revolution is not successful unless it actually succeeds at its stated goals.

What the fuck is the cause of this??
Why the fuck are so many prominent Youtube Leftist now making videos about Fuentes that are either positive or (at best) begrudingly amused by his antics???
Seriously I feel like this is fucking nuts for what is obviously the rising face of post Trump Fascism in America and all these idiots are just fucking laughing at it.
It's like how people on left laughed at Trump in early 2016 primary for shitting on the Bush's and the Clintons; we've seen this all fucking before.
And everyone is just normalizing him, everyone is just so myopically obsessed with Trump that critiques from his right, from Nazis mad him for not literally building fucking gas chambers, is somehow accepted into the broad tent.
Why the fuck is no one even bothering to deconstruct his ideology?
Why are none the channels that churn out 4 hour fucking video essays bothering to explain the internal contradictions???

25% of white families earn over a million dollars a year. There was a higher % of proletarian white families in HAITI before the revolution and all of them still rightfully got exterminated

Reminder that AmeriKKKan crackers have ZERO revolutionary potential and need to be destroyed
The average AmeriKKKan lives in a Texas subdivision built on stolen native Amerikan land. His ancestors exterminated every single member of the tribe that previously occupied the land then built a ton of garish & indistinguishable houses with a perfect green lawn their descendants spend 2 hours every sunday mowing. He drives a 7 foot tall truck and has no political concerns beyond cheap gas and the president killing as many browns in foreign countries as possible to satisfy his voyeuristic sadism. He employs Mexican slaves to maintain his McKKKMansion who will be deported by ICE if they ever get uppity. The uyghurs his family used to employ of course serve him his McDonald's every day on his 10 mile drive to his job at Infotech Inc. (a military subkontractor) where he has a long work day of doing not much of anything but earns a million dollars a year. He then drives back home where his fake blonde orange tanned wife greets him with a ham and mayo sandwich on white bread. He says hi to his children Taylor, who just got back from football practice, and Braydon, who will transhumanist out in 3 years, at McHenry high school 20 miles away from their house (only uyghurs and sp1cs take the bus so their mom of course drives them to and from school in the 2nd family car, they'll buy a 3rd car once Taylor gets old enough to drive). He then goes into his man cave to post on r/conservative and twitter for an hour before jerking off to transhumanist porn. Goes to bed watching fox news, repeat. Every sunday he goes to christcuck gospel church 30 miles away from home. But of course he doesn't even need to be forgiven for anything because he earns $1,000,000 and Jesus Khrist said prosperity gospel is the truth so he just prays that Trump deports more sp1cs.>b-but the poors

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!

Kenya appreciation thread: they did something
Thank you to the brave officials and officers from Kenya for being the first people to actually stabilize Haiti. No seriously, that country had its first World Cup play in half a century recently thanks to the combined efforts of Kenyan officers. No thanks to the UN for pretending it would do anything important by only stepping in *after* Kenyan and a couple Jamaican police officers did anything. Double no thanks to all of South America for leaving that country abandoned for decades and especially no thanks to the USA for being actively responsible for its deterioration.

Ignoring the major problem that proposes that the us media industry cares more for promoting agendas, disinformation, and propaganda in its convenience, the actual method to (assuming they succeeded) capture Venezuela’s state of head Nicolas Maduro will do more damage on the USA’s own political system than it will for venezuela and the international community at large.
The USA so far has done the following within just the past twelve hours:
>break into a country unlawfully and without issuing a warning, declaration, or even reason of entry
>proceeded to bomb multiple civilian and publicly owned military infrastructure
>(presumed anyways since reports on other major public officials in venezuela is flimsy) invaded venezuelas national political infrastructure to capture and take hostage over the Venezuelan president
>parade the presumed operation online in gusto while letting false and misleading information circulate rampantly on public forums
Regardless of whether or not Nicolas maduro was actually captured, by this action, the US government has communicated to most of the planet that it’s government and military are unstable, uncommunicative, still willing to defy international law and peace agreements, actively violate the sovereignty and need for self defence of smaller countries, and will take violent means to secure its interests. Many in informal political spaces and some members actively affiliated with the us government presume the operation went by for control over Venezuelan citizens oil. Personally, I don’t know why they did this, but the reason no matter what is still irrelevant to the damage the USA has done on itself and its surrounding states.
Venezuela just swore in a new president to carry out the country’s needs mere hours after the presidents absence regardless, and the US government now has to answer to both its bureaucracy and citizens on why it’s president and military are flaunting over active criminality and potentially a failed military operation.
Institutional competence, degradation of the US government’s reputation
The recent (assumed) capture of Venezuelan president maduro has done far more reputational damage to the United States government and its remaining close allies than anything related to venezuela. Within hours of the incident, numerous fake articles, images, and AI generated feeds were created and promptly deleted off widespread social media sites twitter, instagram, and Facebook. Actual credible evidence on the presidents status is flimsy and currently unavailable with the only potentially valid piece being a strange image of Nicolas maduro uploaded on US president’s Donald J Trump’s twitter page.Ignoring the major problem that proposes that the us media industry cares more for promoting agendas, disinformation, and propaganda in its convenience, the actual method to (assuming they succeeded) capture Venezuela’s state of head Nicolas Maduro will do more damage on the USA’s own political system than it will for venezuela and the international community at large.

If the left, whether marxists, anarchists, the DSA, or CPUSA, actually won after the collapse, how would the social revolution really unfold and how would they fix the generational capitalist conditioning. Netherless how the new society would be organized politically.
I feel the need to ask this because this site talks a lot about the coming collapse but doesn't really talk about how it would be organized afterwards.
America post-revolution
Lets say in 2028 The second american civil war broke out because the election oreconomic collapse, and it was a muti factional civil war.If the left, whether marxists, anarchists, the DSA, or CPUSA, actually won after the collapse, how would the social revolution really unfold and how would they fix the generational capitalist conditioning.

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.
The main question that should be asked is this; since there is not a general organization of labor like the boomers had, will this cause a rise into smaller, but much more revolutionary organizations?

Everything you know about business gets thrown out the window when dealing with the top major powers. Its a whole different ball game from here on out.
It's likely not stopping in the foreseeable future because it's a proxy war between world powers, like the space race, governments are injecting infinite money into this shit in the hopes of getting a weapon over each other, unless a new weapon with more potential presents itself in the digital landscape, it's not going away and these companies will keep being funded.
The goal is not to have a 'usable' product, the goal is to have the ultimate weapon of thought control/surveillance. Propaganda and misinformation are more important than ever, you've seen this shit with ukraine/palestine. It's not going away no matter how fucking shit the consumer market product is.
think about all the money that was poured into space exploration, all the factories, companies and industry being propelled by all that funding, was there ever a return of investment from the astronomical amounts of money spent by the USA during the cold war? No, they never gave a shit how much money they threw to the problem because the prize was too tantalizing -> information gathering, weaponizing space.
The space race only ever stopped because USA 'won' by landing on the moon and the public lost interest on it, which made difficult to justify the money spent on that shit vs other possible avenues of weaponization.
But AI is not the same, digital 'space' is so deeply rooted into people's daily lives that the return of investment is enormous compared to the space race, autonomous control over digital landscape through AI could give governments control over peoples perception of reality and made them do whatever the fuck you want.
Corporations and gov agencies could already do that shit, but the main bottleneck was the amount of people/resources required to monitor such systems, but AI could eliminate that bottleneck, plus all the uses of needing less people to manage all that shit.
This is a danger the US and China cannot ignore, money becomes a non-issue and the consumer market gets the scraps that fall from all this research/spending, like satellite tv and portable phones.
AI speculation
AI is currently being used as a political tool to help counter china's growing AI industry as its more easy for them to build AI data centers than America as America is fell too far behind when it comes setting up new factories and other places of business. America and a lot of countries are racing to build these data centers because pretty much everyone by this point knows there's a looming threat coming that's about to turn into an all out war.Everything you know about business gets thrown out the window when dealing with the top major powers.

While I obviously find it laughable to not base your politics on material factors and don't subscribe to socially regressive sentiment myself I still feel worried about how much impact this could be having on the movement. I don't know how you would deal with this though because I don't think promoting reactionary politics within the left is a good idea but large swaths of people who will definitely never read theory are also being alienated due having socially regressive views that clash with the "vibes" they're getting of the left, regardless if they're true or not. There's of course also the other side of this where people who are clearly liberals identify as "socialists" due to their own associations with the left and social progressiveness while also never reading theory which makes organizing IRL harder (I have personal experience of this honestly).
Maybe there's some kind of "class reductionism" (despite being used as a derogatory term by some) one could adopt but I also don't know how you'd do that properly since reactionaries weaponize optics anyway.
Neglect of optics on the left?
I'm asking sincerely, how much of a problem is this? Most people are not class conscious and reactionary politics based on vibes is extremely common. I present as fairly "socially traditional" in my personal life while still being a progressive and my politics have surprised many people I know due to their associations with "the left", that being some variation of the "blue haired feminist (or trans woman in 2025)" or whatever boogeyman they have. Being a socialist does not mean what it means to me for these people.While I obviously find it laughable to not base your politics on material factors and don't subscribe to socially regressive sentiment myself I still feel worried about how much impact this could be having on the movement.

Is Mask-off American-Imperialism going to work?
After the kidnapping of Maduro Trump has been mask off about imperialism, unlike Bush he hasn’t said “Oh this is for the good of Venezuela” he has just said “Oh they have oil and we want that oil for me and my pedophile oligarchs to make super-profits from.” There is no way that any population of any country would want to be treated this way, even if there puppet governments do.

The Vice President of Venezuela demanded the release of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores during the National Defense Council, reaffirming Maduro as the sole president and at the same time announcing the activation of the Citizen Security Agency and national power to defend independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, which they denounce as attacked.

Cuban president denounces 'state terrorism' against Venezuela
Meanwhile, thousands of Cubans are worried over the fate of relatives and friends working in Venezuela. Cuba's health ministry tweeted on Saturday they were "well protected." In an interview U.S. President Donald Trump gave to the New York Post on Saturday, he said he is not considering additional military action against Cuba. “No, Cuba is going to fall of its own volition. Cuba is doing very poorly,” Trump said.

Palestine Action-linked hunger striker hospitalised for fifth time
Kamran Ahmed is one of eight pro-Palestine activists who began a hunger strike last year after Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, failed to respond to a letter setting out concerns over their treatment. The group’s demands include immediate bail, an end to interference with their personal communications in prison, and the de-proscription of Palestine Action, which accuses the UK government of complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Hundreds at New Year’s Eve London prison protest
Hundreds of people assembled on Caledonian Road carrying Palestinian flags and banners, with the demonstration centred on solidarity with prisoners rather than disruption. Nevertheless, police responded with a large and visibly disproportionate deployment. Protesters counted at least 21 police vans in the immediate area, equating to roughly 170 officers. Many were deployed in boiler suits and carrying long batons, signalling a preparedness for confrontation rather than assembly facilitation.

Internet disruption, several arrests made as Iran protests continue
Iranian authorities have shut down or slowed connectivity levels during previous rounds of protests, limiting Iranians to only a localised intranet. Internet connectivity came to a near-complete halt in mid-June for several days during the height of the war with Israel and the United States.

Yemen presidency says Saudi-backed forces retake key province
Two government military officials also told AFP earlier that neighbouring Mahra province and its armed forces, which had also fallen in with the STC during its recent advance, had switched their loyalty to Saudi-backed forces without any resistance. One of the two officials said the Mahra forces had "lowered the separatist flag and raised the Yemeni flag".

Iraq's Al-Sadr urges restraint after “militias” killed PSM official
Muqtada Al-Sadr, leader of Iraq’s Patriotic Shiite Movement (PSM), on Saturday accused “brazen militias” of assassinating a senior figure in his movement, urging his supporters to avoid being dragged into “sedition.” In a written message, Al-Sadr urged that the law “take its true course” in identifying the perpetrators, warning followers not to be drawn into unrest or “schemes sought by the corrupt.” He stressed that any response must be confined to lawful channels and “disciplined tribal frameworks.”

Border killings highest in 5 years
The killing of Bangladeshis by India’s Border Security Force and Indian citizens along the border in 2025 marked the highest level in the past five years, despite repeated pledges by the neighbouring country to bring the number of border killings down to zero. According to human rights organisation Ain O Salish Kendra’s yearly human rights report, 34 Bangladeshis were killed by the BSF in 2025. Of them, 24 were killed in BSF firing and 10 others died after facing physical torture by the BSF.

They wanted to learn the masses’ concrete situation, the reasons for the armed conflict, and the genuine solution to achieve peace. The NDF-Mindoro facilitated the reception of the visitors in Abra de Ilog before the new year. The indigenous people and farmers in the area guided them, and the NPA unit welcomed them.

These activities included football player Kaoru Mitoma being photographed with cards relating to a Japanese World War II soldier accused of war crimes, as well as visits by Harimoto and others to Tokyo’s Togo Shrine, the commentary published on Friday noted. The shrine is dedicated to Togo Heihachiro, an admiral who fought against China in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895). Japan celebrates him as a “god of victory” but China sees him as a pioneer of Japanese militarist expansion.

Funniest thing about it: out of the 8000+ accounts on the site, only 44 of them were women, and a significant portion of those 44 women were chatbots set up by the hacker to collect information on the users. Only 4 women on the entire site chose to make their photos public and only 9 women were paying users which is required to send the first message.

Practically speaking what's the difference between Marxism and Anarchism? Both as Lenin puts it require "Smashing the State" its just under the guise of Marxism the state will be rebuilt to be dictatorship of the proletariat run by armed workers with goal suppressing the bourgeoisie so they can head towards socialism. While with anarchism when the state is smashed they do not rebuild it and instead head straight into socialism. But I would argue that both large scale anarchist projects, Anarchist Ukraine and Revolutionary Spain, reestablished the state in the form of the dictatorship of the proletariat. It's just anarchists didn't call it state because to them a state is a highly centralized organization with a monopoly on violence, with both projects being federalism as opposed to a centralized body. But to Marx the state is a tool for one class dominating the other. It seems the main disagreement between mainline Marxists and anarchists is semantics.

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.

Even when the Russian bourgeoisie was developing, it was still behind, with the new class being forced to be subordinate to the autocracy, with all bourgeois revolutions failing in Russia (like the failed liberal coup in the 1820s and the 1840s). As a result, the autocracy and the Tsar were opposed to the development of both the European bourgeoisie, and Russian, from the very start; this is why Russia helped crush the 1848 revolutions.
Anti-Westernism didn’t start with Russian Marxism either, but Russian Marxism fed into it. This is why Leninism rejected its European counterparts (council communism, Luxemburgism, democratic socialism). This even goes to the split between the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, with what I assume the Mensheviks were seen as Western for their more liberal-type reforms, or western-type marxism.
I think this is why there continues to be a ideological rejection of the West: the previous industrial contradiction caused it.
BUT, I do think after Lenin's industrial reforms, and the modern day, the contradiction between the West and Russia decreased, but as of recent it has evolved into more of a inter-imperial conflict, with Ukraine being the smaller part of a much more larger conflict.
Russian anti-westernism
The Russian population, specifically the peasantry, was always behind their European counterparts. While Europe was already industrialized, the Russian state was extremely behind, trying to modernize (e.g. the abandonment of serfdom in the 1860s). I believe this contradiction fed into a divide between the developing bourgeoisie in Russia and the European bourgeoisie.Even when the Russian bourgeoisie was developing, it was still behind, with the new class being forced to be subordinate to the autocracy, with all bourgeois revolutions failing in Russia (like the failed liberal coup in the 1820s and the 1840s).

A Doordash whistleblower posted on Reddit how their algorithm works.
<First off, the "Priority Delivery" is a total scam. It was pitched to us as a "psychological value add." Like I said in the title, when you pay that extra $2.99, it changes a boolean flag in the order JSON, but the dispatch logic literally ignores it. It does nothing to speed you up.
<We actually ran an A/B test last year where we didn't speed up the priority orders, we just purposefully delayed non-priority orders by 5 to 10 minutes to make the Priority ones "feel" faster by comparison. Management loved the results. We generated millions in pure profit just by making the standard service worse, not by making the premium service better.
<But the thing that actually makes me sick—and the main reason I’m quitting—is the "Desperation Score." We have a hidden metric for drivers that tracks how desperate they are for cash based on their acceptance behavior.
<If a driver usually logs on at 10 PM and accepts every garbage $3 order instantly without hesitation, the algo tags them as "High Desperation." Once they are tagged, the system then deliberately stops showing them high-paying orders. The logic is: "Why pay this guy $15 for a run when we know he’s desperate enough to do it for $6?" We save the good tips for the "casual" drivers to hook them in and gamify their experience, while the full-timers get grinded into dust.
<Then there is the "Benefit Fee." You’ve probably seen that $1.50 "Regulatory Response Fee" or "Driver Benefits Fee" that appeared on your bill after the recent labor laws passed. The wording is designed to make you feel like you're helping the worker.
<In reality, that money goes straight to a corporate slush fund used to lobby against driver unions. We have a specific internal cost center for "Policy Defense," and that fee feeds directly into it. You are literally paying for the high-end lawyers that are fighting to keep your delivery guy homeless.
<And regarding tips, we're essentially doing Tip Theft 2.0. We don't "steal" them legally anymore because we got sued for that. Instead, we use predictive modeling to dynamically lower the base pay.
<If the algo predicts you are a "high tipper" and you’ll likely drop $10, it offers the driver a measly $2 base pay. If you tip $0, it offers them $8 base pay just to get the food moved. The result is that your generosity isn't rewarding the driver; it’s subsidizing us. You’re paying their wage so we don't have to.

The Global US Appeasement Strategy
As blatant US aggression has been rising the past few months, from bombing Iran to colour revolutions (CIA coups) in South East Asia, trade war with China, escalations in Africa, genocides, stealing Venezuelan ships and striking Russian ones in international waters, the reaction globally has been basically non-existant. Nobody, and I mean nobody has been retaliating at all to discourage the US from this, well, terror campaign, even countries that would have more than enough means to hurt the US back. I'm not asking for war obviously, but there are many other things one could do. But instead, the world seems to have collectively decided to do nothing, which only appeases the US and encourages more aggression, because, as we know, Westerners interpret restraint as weakness.What is the rationale behind this?

On top of that, the supposedly "based" countries sat around and did nothing. Russia abandoned Syria while Turkey brought a Zionist puppet terrorist to power there. Iran dropped a singular ICBM barrage on Tel Aviv to save face, after repeatedly getting humiliated. China and Russia didn't use their veto either, while simultaneously trading with Israel and profiting off of the genocide. Overall, trade with Israel continued as usual, no coordinated attempt was taken by the rest of the world to sanction them like how Russia was sanctioned by the west for attacking Ukraine.
I feel like I was duped by the Pro-Russia/Pro-China/Multipolarist alt-media complex on Xitter and YouTube into thinking that it was only a matter of time before Israel lost all credibility and diplomatic support, and that Iran would go to war with them and nuke the shit out of them any day. I thought maybe Russia and China would use it as an opportunity to finally get back at westoids and coordinate to greatly diminish westoid influence by crippling Israel at a time of need. Maybe that was the calculation that went on in the heads of Hamas leaders, I don't know.
The only real ones who stuck their neck out to try and help the Palestinians were the Houthis, who themselves have been under constant bombardment by Soydi Arabia and Burgerreich. Truly the era of the blackest reaction.
Seriously questioning Hamas' plans right now
Now don't get me wrong, I hate Zionists with a passion, but what was Hamas trying to achieve? From what I know, Oct. 7th was their attempt to stop normalization between the Arab states and Israel. But given the track record of Arab puppet rulers being such treacherous cunts, it's not a surprise that the vast majority of them responded either with covert or even overt collaboration with Israel.On top of that, the supposedly "based" countries sat around and did nothing.

How was he so based, and why have few socialist leaders even come close to accomplishing what he did? I love 90% of what the guy did, and I really do think that he's greatly underappreciated as both a theoretician and a leader.

>And still less permissible is it for us to give way to the slightest degree of despondency; we have still less grounds for doing so because, notwithstanding the ruin, poverty, backwardness and starvation prevailing in our country, in the economics that prepare the way for socialism we have begun to make progress, while side by side with us, all over the world, countries which are more advanced, and a thousand times wealthier and militarily stronger than we are, are still retrogressing in their own vaunted, familiar, capitalist economic field, in which they have worked for centuries.

What did he mean by this?
>But we have not finished building even the foundations of socialist economy and the hostile powers of moribund capitalism can still deprive us of that. We must clearly appreciate this and frankly admit it; for there is nothing more dangerous than illusions (and vertigo, particularly at high altitudes). And there is absolutely nothing terrible, nothing that should give legitimate grounds for the slightest despondency, in admitting this bitter truth; for we have always urged and reiterated the elementary truth of Marxism—that the joint efforts of the workers of several advanced countries are needed for the victory of socialism. We are still alone and in a backward country, a country that was ruined more than others, but we have accomplished a great deal. More than that—we have preserved intact the army of the revolutionary proletarian forces; we have preserved its manoeuvring ability; we have kept clear heads and can soberly calculate where, when and how far to retreat (in order to leap further forward); where, when and how to set to work to alter what has remained unfinished. Those Communists are doomed who imagine that it is possible to finish such an epoch-making undertaking as completing the foundations of socialist economy (particularly in a small-peasant country) without making mistakes, without retreats, without numerous alterations to what is unfinished or wrongly done. Communists who have no illusions, who do not give way to despondency, and who preserve their strength and flexibility “to begin from the beginning “ over and over again in approaching an extremely difficult task, are not doomed (and in all probability will not perish).>And still less permissible is it for us to give way to the slightest degree of despondency; we have still less grounds for doing so because, notwithstanding the ruin, poverty, backwardness and starvation prevailing in our country, in the economics that prepare the way for socialism we have begun to make progress, while side by side with us, all over the world, countries which are more advanced, and a thousand times wealthier and militarily stronger than we are, are still retrogressing in their own vaunted, familiar, capitalist economic field, in which they have worked for centuries.

Activists broke into a Scottish aerospace factory minutes into 2026, attacking machinery and equipment with hammers and spray-painting slogans on the walls on Thursday. Video shared by the protesters online showed computers and manufacturing equipment being hit with large hammers by people wearing black gloves and face coverings. Footage further showed fire extinguishers being emptied into machinery at the Bruntons Aero Products site at the Inveresk Industrial Estate in Musselburgh, East Lothian, and the phrases: “There is only one way this ends” and “Drop Leonardo” being graffitied in red paint.

Zelenskyy names Ukraine’s head of military intelligence as his new chief of staff
Fedorov, 34, is credited with spearheading the introduction of drone technology in Ukraine’s army and introducing several successful e-government platforms in his current role. He replaces Denys Shmyhal who took up the post last July in a major government shake-up. Zelenskyy thanked Shmyhal and said he would be taking up another role in government. He also credited the ministry for reaching a target production of more than 1,000 interceptor drones per day in December.

Pakistan sentences journalists, YouTubers and ex-military officers to life over inciting violence
An anti-terrorism court judge, Tahir Abbas Sipra, announced the verdict in Islamabad after completing trials held in absentia. None of the accused were present in court. They have been living abroad after leaving the country in recent years to avoid arrest. Those convicted include former editor Shaheen Sehbai; two other journalists, Sabir Shakir and Moeed Pirzada; YouTubers Wajahat Saeed Khan and Haider Raza Mehdi; and retired army officers Adil Raja and Akbar Hussain. According to the court order, the charges against the men stemmed from the violent unrest that erupted in May 2023 following the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in a graft case.

Economists call for the suspension of Sri Lanka’s debt after devastating Cyclone Ditwah
The statement, signed by over 120 well-known economists from across the world including Jayati Ghosh and Utsa Patnaik from India, Nobel-prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, and French economist Thomas Piketty, asks the IMF to prioritize the welfare of people and their development over financial obligations to external creditors. Sri Lanka, which has been trying to overcome the prolonged effects of the 2019 economic crisis, still must dedicate 25% of its annual revenue for international debt servicing.

Yemen’s separatist STC calls for independence vote as fighting intensifies
Seven people were killed and more than 20 wounded when seven air strikes hit a camp in al-Khashaa, said Mohammed Abdulmalik, head of the STC in Wadi Hadramout and the Hadramout Desert. But Hadramout Governor Salem al-Khanbashi said on Friday that the efforts to take back bases from the STC were meant to “peacefully and systematically” reclaim military sites in Yemen’s southern province.

Israel allowing traders to bring into Gaza ‘dual-use’ items barred from aid organisations
Israeli restrictions have long made trade into Gaza particularly lucrative for those Palestinians and Israelis who can secure permits. Items on the dual-use list now sell for huge premiums inside Gaza. “The only way to get a generator right now is on the private sector,” said Sam Rose, acting director for Gaza for Unrwa, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. “There’s a mark up on that.”

The decree authorizes intelligence agencies to request support from security forces and allows for the arrest of individuals in cases of flagrant offenses or upon judicial request. However, intelligence officers must immediately inform the competent police forces, without assuming repressive or judicial functions.

In the past, I identified as left-wing, sometimes as a Marxist, sometimes as an anarchist. But over the course of the last few years, I’ve come to realize that fixing oneself to a specific ideological label is pointless. In the end, it always depends on the concrete interpretation of the respective ideology. That’s precisely why there are ideologies like Dengism, Christian socialism, or patriotic socialism, and so on. I’ve noticed that the ideological labels people give themselves are meaningless. What matters far more is how they interpret their ideology.This is also the main reason why I can no longer identify with leftypol. I am not left-wing, but I am also not right-wing. It’s so ironic when some leftists justify capitalism, hierarchy, nationalism, power monopolies, or even racism. I’ve seen all of that, on leftypol, Reddit, and Twitter. At the same time, I’ve seen individual right-wingers or conspiracy theorists who hold absolutely correct positions.That’s why I no longer believe in the “left” label. I believe that certain libertarians or conspiracy theorists are closer to my values than Dengists, Trotskyists, and so on.

Reminder communism does not merely abolish bourgeois private property, it ultimately abolishes property as such, including state or cooperative ownership, because property inherently presupposes exclusion and classes.
"From the standpoint of a higher economic form of society, private ownership of the globe by single individuals will appear quite as absurd as private ownership of one man by another. Even a whole society, a nation, or even all […] are not the owners of the globe."
-Karl Marx

Judge Martín Cormick of Federal Administrative Court No. 11 acquiesced to a collective injunction filed by the Center for Legal and Social Studies (CELS) and supported by a broad coalition of unions and human rights organizations, including Amnesty International. The ruling invalidates Resolution 943/23, a cornerstone policy of President Javier Milei's administration designed to prevent protesters from blocking streets.

Petro claims the ELN was the target of US attack in Venezuela
Petro did not name the company involved, but there is a factory in Maracaibo called Primazol, which imports raw materials for industry and has issued several statements since December 24 denying what many citizens are convinced was a bombing that night. What happened, they say, was the outbreak of a fire at 12 a.m. “in one of the raw materials warehouses,” caused by an electrical problem in the wiring at the site. Firefighters arrived in the early morning and brought the situation under control.

Bolivia lifts all fuel import restrictions
Hydrocarbons Minister Mauricio Medinaceli confirmed that regulations were being terminated to allow private players to import fuel directly, thus transitioning to a hybrid model of state regulation and market liberalization. To prevent private companies from focusing solely on high-traffic urban centers like La Paz and Santa Cruz, the government will maintain “wholesale blocks” to guarantee supply in remote, less profitable regions.

At least three people were killed and 17 others were injured at protests in the city of Azna in Lorestan province, some 300km (185 miles) southwest of Tehran, Iran’s semiofficial Fars news agency reported on Thursday.

Yemen’s Aden airport shuts as Saudi-UAE rift deepens
The Saudi-backed, internationally recognized Yemeni government ordered new restrictions on flights to and from the UAE, aiming to curb escalating tensions in Yemen, a Saudi source told Reuters. But the move triggered a defiant response: Yemen’s transport minister, aligned with Yemen's southern separatists, ordered a full shutdown of air traffic rather than comply.

Fierce battles for control in North and South Kordofan
The states of South and North Kordofan have witnessed fierce battles and accelerated military developments during the past four days, characterized by the exchange of control over the sites at breakneck speed, amid uncertainty surrounding their results, and a difference in the analyses of military experts between those who believe that it is an attempt to drain the Rapid Support Forces without achieving actual control on the ground, and other analyses that are being carried out as a serious attempt to lift the siege on Dilling and Kadugli, after the SPLM’s announcement that its control of the two cities is imminent, and its demand that the armed forces surrender.

Russian Volunteer Corps Leader Is Still Alive, Ukraine’s GUR Says
The founder and leader of the Russian Volunteer Corps, a far-right paramilitary group fighting alongside Ukrainian forces, is alive, Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence agency said Thursday, days after Russia claimed he had been killed on the front lines. The GUR said Russian security services had ordered the assassination of Denis Kapustin and allocated $500,000 for the operation. According to the agency, Ukrainian officials carried out a “complex” counterintelligence operation that thwarted the plot.

Woman peasant leader shot dead inside home in Negros Occidental
Jimenez was the wife of Joseph Jimenez, another farmer-leader who was killed on November 30, 2022, after being captured by soldiers of the military’s 15th Infantry Battalion. He was killed alongside Ericson Acosta, a peace consultant of the National Democratic Front (NDF) in Negros. Following her husband’s death, Jimenez was reportedly subjected to repeated harassment by state forces. Rights groups said she was frequently summoned to barangay offices and pressured to surrender as an alleged member of the New People’s Army (NPA), accusations Jimenez’s family denied.

Indonesia's new criminal code requires public oversight, minister says
Indonesia's new criminal code, which will make crimes of premarital sex and insulting the state when it takes effect on January 2, will need public oversight to help prevent abuse of the law, a government minister told Reuters. The 345-page code was passed in 2022 and replaces a set of laws established during Dutch colonial rule. Its broad definitions drew condemnation from democracy activists concerned it might harm civil liberties and free speech, and put government critics at risk of arrest.

The Marxist publishing grift honestly seems pretty lucrative given almost all these works are public domain so you can really just publish anything written by a name currently trending in the ideology store and make Big Bux.
Got a book a while ago called "Marxists in the Face of Fascism" that collects pre-WW2 writings on Fascism from various "left" figures and the selection of authors includes Kautsky, Togliatti, Bordiga, Stalin, and Trotsky, lmao. Just trying to target all the demographics there. It's a book for people who prefer to read names like Gramsci and Thälmann because those names are a fandom to them rather than read theory for self education I guess, because I don't see what you could actually take from such a disparate selection all presented as "equally valid".
Next they should do a book including essays by both Charles Darwin, Kent Hovind, and Herbet Spencer. Who's right? Well, that's for the reader to decide!

"Somali Welfare Fraud"
This story coming out of Minneapolis seems to be the next wedge issue that American conservatives will exploit for votes and support for ICE terrorism against the Somali community. So what exactly happened here? Some MAGA kid went around a few Somali-owned daycare centres in the Twin Cities area outside of operating hours and harassed the care workers in order to "prove" these centres were fronts for money laundering without proving any hard evidence. Is that correct?For the past week, the American right has been using this alleged issue as a way of drumming up hysteria and outrage, not to mention extreme amounts of hatred and xenophobia.

Addressing the end of various leftist holdout conflicts and their aftermath
The 2010s marked the effective end of most remaining communist insurgencies. Although many had been in decline for years, it was during that decade that they finally collapsed. The Naxal movement, communist insurgencies in Africa and Southeast Asia, and the last remnants of the IRA either fizzled out or ended with arrests after failed attacks and raids. In 2023, the Zapatistas dissolved their Autonomous Municipalities. The conflicts that leftist magazines and academics once wrote papers about and sometimes even traveled to for the occasional photoshoot are now over, so what is to done?

everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.
Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.
Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.

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

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

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?

Ever since the retirement of Fidel Castro in 2006 ever self-described communist country (all five of them) has been a market-socialist economy. China and Vietnam seem to have taken a liking to it, North Korea seems to be indifferent, I don’t know anything about Laos, and Cuba seems to be reluctant to it.

Meanwhile, Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud arrived in Turkey on Tuesday for talks with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, following Israel’s announcement.

While the number of births and deaths remained stable, the report determined that emigration is "the main factor underlying Israel’s falling demographic growth rates". According to the report, over the past two years, approximately 120,000 more Israeli citizens have left the country than returned to it. These figures do not include new Jewish immigrants to Israel, but even when they are included, Israel's migration balance remains negative.

Conscript Manos Papageorgiou, a student at Harokopio University, was also expelled from the special forces after addressing the protest on December 16. In a statement, the student associations said: “The government failed to suppress the just struggle of the farmers, failed to activate ‘social automation’ and is now trying to terrorise those who actively support their struggle! Its effort will fall into vain!” The repression comes as Athens is talking to “the murderous state of Israel” about dispatching Greek troops to Gaza, “further involving our country in imperialist crimes and the massacre of the Palestinian people,” the statement warns.

A French ban on the production and sale of PFAS chemicals – known as 'forever chemicals' as it takes them so long to break down – comes into effect on Thursday. The ban targets a wide range of cosmetics and clothes and will also require French authorities to regularly test drinking water for all kinds of PFAS.

Italy approves 2026 budget after infighting within Meloni’s coalition
The move, designed to ease the pressure on middle-class families, will cost the exchequer about €3bn in foregone revenues and benefit roughly 13mn taxpayers. But it drew criticism after the independent parliamentary budget office said it would benefit many in Italy’s higher-income brackets.

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

Trofim Lysenko, the director of Soviet biology under Stalin, promoted the idea that the characteristics of plants and animals could be altered by their environment, and that these acquired traits could be inherited. This directly contradicted basic genetics, which were denounced as "bourgeois" or "capitalist" science. Joseph Stalin was directly responsible for the imprisonment, execution, and persecution of thousands of researchers and scientists who disagreed with Trofim Lysenko's nonsensical theories.

The hike more than doubles the 9.54% increase made this year, which brought minimum wages to 1.42 million pesos ($380), and marks the leftist administration's last minimum wage hike before elections are held at the end of May 2026.

In a statement on Telegram, the Syrian Ministry of Interior said that security forces who were on duty to protect demonstrators and maintain public order were directly attacked today in the city of Latakia by armed groups associated with the remnants of the Bashar al-Assad regime.

Gender is not born in a vacuum; rather, it emerges from the politics of the state, family, and social history. While gender is individual and is related to choices, no one can argue that it can be reduced to a mere wish. While Judith Butler's arguments and philosophy may be reduced, fairly or not, to speech acts or discursivity or performativity, they never invented these philosophical terms. To make a complex history of thought simple, Butler was borrowing from JL Austin, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault. But I think the main issue of Butler's philosophy comes from limiting the scope too much on the reproduction of power in a hierarchy of sexuality. There are reasons why sexuality and gender and biological sex could be misconstrued; most of it, to my mind, has to do with how social reality exists in lieu of capitalist politics and ideology. The absurdity of identity politics is not that a man could transition into a woman, but that social categories are themselves only mediated by discourse and a nebulous power outside of a Marxist analysis of history and society. The way that identity politics functions is to focus solely on individual rights, language-as-power, and Aristotleian categories. But why do the liberals who govern through identity politics think that gender is clearly delineated from biology? In biology, sex is a complicated affair that exists outside of cultural understanding and social roles. It is natural, genetic, and determined; it is how we reproduce and select a sexual partner. Our cultural understanding of how man and woman exist may be informed by the Bible, for instance, but that may not explain how reproduction works or how genes are passed down or how sexual difference exists objectively.
Identity Politics and Biology
Are feminism and transgender liberation ideologies used for indoctrination and social control? Not at all. Is the act of sex, and the cultural weight of sex, distinct from biological function? Quite. Could our understanding of sexuality and gender be embedded in the superstructure of capitalism? Yes, absolutely. But that does not remove the person from the whole, agency from history, or free will from determinism. Instead, we should see the science of biology as part of a long history of philosophy, history, social formations, politics, and the emergence of capitalism as a world system. Generally, what are the problems of understanding sex and gender under our historical epoch? There is a cultural habit of assigning subjective meaning into objective phenomena, which is more to do with how humans relate to ideology, economics, social formations such as class and race and gender, the state structure, the patriarchal family unit, and history. To untangle ourselves from the politicisation of individual bodies, sectioned off like discreet forms of data, as well as ideas about identity, we need to understand how culture and science are not totalizing in themselves but part of the superstructure of society. To avoid the myopia brought about by what people might call scientism, which is really just another word for a supposed omniscience, we need to realise that science is a human endeavour that is still socially mediated. People often flatten or exaggerate a biological fact, a male human is stronger on average than a female human, to inform rigid social hierarchies in fascism or capitalism. Social Darwinism is a distortion of biology and came from a complex history of trying to legitimise oppression, exploitation, racism, colonialism, and sexism in Victorian England and British Imperialism. To do this, the facts and reality of biology are made into a political caricature that reifies the social reality projected by the dominant economic class. In the past, sexuality and gender were rigidly defined and prescribed by the state and the bourgeoisie. Biology was abused for this end. The myth of a self-made man of rugged individualism and cunning was made legitimate by emphasising biological endowments and drives, natural properties and survival strategies. But once you look into biology proper, these socially foisted ideas about masculinity collapse. Genetics inform everything we do as animals, but decisions and strategies are usually probabilistic rather than flatly deterministic. The idea of a masculine patriarch is closer to the divine right of kings than science; a single male leader does not really map onto how we understand dominance hierarchies in the natural world.Gender is not born in a vacuum; rather, it emerges from the politics of the state, family, and social history. While gender is individual and is related to choices, no one can argue that it can be reduced to a mere wish.

The next mode of production? It will not be socialist or communist.
Socialism and communism are not modes of production, they're social orders. The mode of production is capitalism and the next mode of production will be full automation in the transition from semi-automation by the fourth industrial revolution. The feuds and the slave owners and the previous modes of production never did the change consciously and neither did the bourgeois when they brought capitalism, they simply developed as much as they could until they changed, they were not a 200 year movement of trying to consciously enact change, think social darwinism.Anyway the USSR is the loser and ML failed, Dengism won, when the realpolitik geopolitics and all the blablabla is over and China has won the world it will lead towards full automation.

which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American populations 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 (The ICE raids in Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo communities throughout the U$, and Trumps deployment of the National Guard to Black/New African and Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo neighborhoods in Los Angelas, DC, and Memphis, has essentially made this a De Jure reality), as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists (U$ Communists must give up on the Quixotic Bourgeois Electoralist Tailist Chauvinist effort to desperately appeal to the Ultra-Reactionary White Settler Labor Aristocracy) as stipulated by the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination for 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 , which will happen after either the Global Nuclear War Shining Path to Communism that will occur if Trump uses the Insurrection act to declare Martial Law and permanently suspend Liberal Bourgeois Democracy and inevitably launch World War III against China that will escalate into a Global Nuclear War which completely destroys the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allows for a World Maoist PPW (in both the Periphery/Semi-Periphery where Maoist PPW is already viable in the Material Conditions, as proven by the ongoing Maoist PPWs in India, the Philippines, Turkey, and Peru, and in the Imperial Core, where Maoist PPW wont be viable in the Material Conditions until World War III breaks out and/or Liberal Bourgeois Democracy is permanently suspended, with these two events being related and probably happening around the same time), or the Social Democratic/UBI/4th Industrial Revolution/AI/Multipolar Shining Path to Communism that will occur if Trump dose not permanently suspend Liberal Bourgeois Democracy and a Left-Liberal Democrat like Newsom/AOC wins the 2028 U$ Presidential Election, which will have a Social Democratic Imperial Core where UBI allows for Income to be divorced from employment while the 4th Industrial Revolution Automates most of the workforce combined with the Hyper-Rationalization of the Superstructure through the legalization of all Victimless Crimes like Abortion, Birth Control, Pornography, Sex Work/Prostitution, LGBTQIA+, Drug use, Gun ownership, etc. and a Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy that accepts Multipolarity, unites with a Maoist Periphery/Semi-Periphery, where Maoist PPWs swept away all Bourgeois Comprador and Imperialist governments after the 4th Industrial Revolution Automated Global Supply Chains and Reshored them back to the Imperial Core and the Green Energy Revolution shut down all Oil/Gas production worldwide, thus collapsing the economies of all Sweatshop countries and Petrostates, that will both 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 English-speaking 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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

Here's something weird I have noticed when talking to people.
So imagine this. I am talking with a friend about some business branch which could very well be automated and costs of production (rationally) could go down (clearly by firing employees and just having a service that a robot does or the user themselves has to do, so without actually having to employ labor-power for the entire working day). I tell him, from the standpoint of capital, this is rational, this is good, and we should pursue it so that more and more time is freed up and the productive process is more optimized bla bla bla. Imagine I am a venture capitalist convincing you to invest into AI. You get the idea.
But then he gets kinda pissed of at me and starts asking me to justify this process to some abstract worker that would find himself in this situation. He continues - it would be so good for them to lose their job and be unemployed (sarcasm) so of course he is against automatization.
I see this social-democratic viewpoint everywhere. Whenever I try to talk to people on this "higher" level of abstraction (society, state, classes) they always fall back down to this Robinson Crusoe that suffers because of my opinions. What gives? Are people just that blinded by capitalist individualism that they can't even see past particular people, humans, themselves?
I understand that my friend is not a part of the classes or stratum of a class that I ought to agitate, but their viewpoint is something I encounter often in different scenarios. How to battle this?

Do you agree with this message?
I really like this phrase. I didn't want to write too much because I think it is better to contemplate it and I'd like to see what you think just about the phrase itself. "A better world is possible." I think obviously, a communist would find no disagreement with this phrase. I think that's the whole idea behind communism right? I think pretty much every religion is in agreement with this phrase. I think your opinion on it is really what separates the kinds of people in this world.

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

Religion and superstition deeply frustrate me, but even more frustrating are 1st World Democrat Atheist Liberals like this guy because they get so close to the truth but then their vulgar non-dialectical materialism, liberalism, petty bourgeois outlook, and 1st world chauvinism completely prevent them from reaching proper Communist conclusions.

Laos is the most unpopular and least talked about communist country, nut just in regard to the media and the press but even here! We don’t even have a Laotian flag! I don’t even know what Laos is like geopolitically, I don’t know weather it’s really close to Russia and China like how Cuba and the DPRK are or if it’s cucked to America like Vietnam. I would of thought that the most bombed country on earth would come up more in political discourse.

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

People say that gradual reforms won't work, with the cited reason being that, so long as the bourgeois element is allowed to exist in any significant capacity, it will burrow its way into government and reassert control. But doesn't China disprove that? Their entire plan is to gradually reform their market economy into "full" socialism.
On that note, from what I understand, "capitalism has inherent contradictions that will lead to its downfall" is really just a fancy way of saying that the relationship between the bourgeois and proletariat is an antagonistic one, and eventually the proletariat will get fed up with it and assert control. But is this actually a given? I could easily see a scenario where technology allows the bourgeois to assert permanent control, using robots to replace the proletariat and surveillance and weapons to quell any opposition. I could also see the opposite happening, where capitalism keeps rewinding itself to earlier states indefinitely, creating a situation where life is "good enough" that people don't feel the need to rebel.
Dialectics in general confuse me. Every time I think I have a grasp on them, I'll have someone else loudly proclaim that I'm wrong. If I ask for correction, the explanation provided is so long-winded and convoluted that I end up with more questions than answers. Can someone please give me a basic, working definition of what dialectics are in the context of Marxism? They seem so fundamental to Marxist analysis, and without understanding them, I don't feel like I can actually properly understand any of what I'm looking at.
Finally, I frequently hear people say that we're going to be entering a China lead multipolar world order. That sounds like like a (logical) contradiction to me. Doesn't the term "multipolar" imply multiple leaders?
Note that I don't ask these questions with any ideology in mind. I find much of what I read here incredibly confusing, and my ignorance has been punished enough that I figured it's high-time I do something about it.

Trotsky was basically an Osama Bin Laden type figure that railed against Stalin because Stalin didn't immediately abolish the state, abolish the family, pursue muh "permanent revolution" aka embroil the USSR into ill-fated wars and other idealist bullshit that had no basis in the actual material conditions of the time. How dare that Stalin works worth the material conditions and historical context and develop the state to advance proletarian interests – it's all "bureaucracy" and Trotsky is out of power so therefore Stalin must go and he must literally be assassinated (This Trotsky advocated for).
After all this it becomes clear the justification for Stalin's "purges" of these terrorist assholes trying to destroy the USSR. It's amazing that the USSR survived WW2 and constant subversion from these pseudo-fascist retards. It's a testament to Stalin's strength and competence that this is so.

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.

This is a thread about organizing cooperatives. It is not about debating the merits or lack thereof of cooperatives. I understand there are critiques of cooperatives, and how they are not enough to bring about proletarian revolution. The same is true of unions, but I still support the creation of unions and worker-owned cooperatives as part of a multi-pronged strategy.

/Cooperatives/ General #1
>To my mind, the so-called “socialist society” is not anything immutable. Like all other social formations, it should be conceived in a state of constant flux and change. Its crucial difference from the present order consists naturally in production organized on the basis of common ownership by the nation of all means of production. To begin this reorganization tomorrow, but performing it gradually, seems to me quite feasible. That our workers are capable of it is borne out by their many producer and consumer cooperatives which, whenever they're not deliberately ruined by the police, are equally well and far more honestly run than the bourgeois stock companies.- Engels, Letter to Otto Von Boenigk In Breslau, August 21, 1890

"I can't help but believe that in the future we will see in the United States and throughout the Western world an increasing trend toward the next logical step, employee ownership. It is a path that befits a free people." - Ronald Reagan?!

This is a thread about organizing cooperatives. It is not about debating the merits or lack thereof of cooperatives. I understand there are critiques of cooperatives, and how they are not enough to bring about proletarian revolution. The same is true of unions, but I still support the creation of unions and worker-owned cooperatives as part of a multi-pronged strategy.

>My grandparents are like that, they have photos of Abdel Nasser and his family in their living room, treating him like a Saint. But if you were to ask them anything about actual Arab nationalist philosophy, they wouldn't know. All my grandparents know is that things were better back then, my Granddad would be provided a job that supported his family and there wasn't any filth on the streets. To a large extent, things were indeed better back then and that's just how it is for most people, these people believe and worship the State and the Leader, they don't give a shit about Ideology. As long as it's not openly 'heretical' to the values of people, the masses will believe in it

I'm not even a Leninist nor do I find Lenin's pamphlet particularly enlightening, but how the fuck do the majority of self-described Leninists misunderstand imperialism as an action that a state takes, instead of it being an economic system, like this is still basic Leninism. It's legitimately baffling, how do these pseuds think the division of the world among capitalist powers being complete is a policy. How the fuck is that even a coherent sentence in the context of a policy, Lenin is so obviously talking about a stage of global capitalist development and not a fucking action.

It's surprising, and kind of disappointing, how many self-proclaimed "Marxists" say that Marx and his followers were economic determinists, when they were very clear that the development of the means of production, which is to say, the technology used for productive labor, was itself determine of economic development.
If anything, Marx and friends were technological determinists, but even then, it's a very undialectical way of thinking. Technology and economics in reality lead eachother in more or less equal parts, and are additionally affected by and affect other forces such as science and politics. But either way, the claim that Marx was an economic determinist is flatly false.

So basically, how do I overcome my utter hatred for humanity, since I think the human race as capitalism has deformed it is simply worthy of annihilation, all peoples, countries, and cultures are America now, and America must be destroyed, that’s the entire problem
How does one overcome misanthropy?
Basically, Capitalism’s degenerate culture has created a creature known as the Normie. A Normie describes an individual, usually a proletariat, with no thought, no culture, no political engagement, no class outlook; a Normie is nothing, NOTHING but corporate propaganda walking around in a human suit. A normie is so opposite a human being that if a hundred million died tomorrow afternoon it would be morally equivalent to the death of three ants. Normies are like a great column of flesh, soulless human shields, that stand in between revolutionaries and communismSo basically, how do I overcome my utter hatred for humanity, since I think the human race as capitalism has deformed it is simply worthy of annihilation, all peoples, countries, and cultures are America now, and America must be destroyed, that’s the entire problem

With the start of the civil war, they re-activated and are fighting in an alliance with the People's Defence Forces against the Tatmadaw.
The BCP/PLA follows the principles of Maoism. At the start they had ~1,000 soldiers under their command. Now it is said to be 3,000. They have a presence across most of northern Myanmar (Pale Township, Kan Duak, some areas near the capital, Mandalay, Shan State, Sagaing, Magway and Tanintharyi regions).
None of the territory appears to be governed by the BCP, they collect taxes but as of now have not yet formed liberated zones with their own socialist governance.
Please post any discussion or notes about PLA in Burma here.

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.

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

In absence of any hope in changing the global world order i have seen third worldists now retreating and openly defending national bourgeoisie in the name of anti imperialism (such as Korotaev defending Ukrainian oligarchs as barrier against US investments, etc) and it's like …. We are against imperialism not just because we hate the US. We are against the US because American imperialism encouraged corruption and extractivism in the Third World, while American backed Bourgeois organizations crack down on labour rights world wide. Playing defense for corrupt and extractivist oligarchs in the third world in the name of building productive forces, that just undercut the reason why so many people became anti imperialist in the first place.
And as global crises started to ramp up, with metabolic drift and climate change ruining shit, the old rhetorics of building productive capability and bourgeois nationalism is just not gonna be relevant for long. This whole thing is a dead end politically.

The ruling junta has previously suppressed information about a severe food crisis gripping the country by pressuring researchers not to collect data about hunger and aid workers not to publish it, Reuters has reported, besides cracking down on journalists since the coup. Myanmar is one of the world's most under-funded aid operations, with only 12% of required funds received, the United Nations says. U.S. cuts to humanitarian aid are having a crushing impact on people, the U.N. special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar has said.

I came up with a few theories:

2. Alternative Jewish homeland in Crimea.
Option 1 is the preferable option because option 2 still creates a potentially ethnic strife with the native ethnic Crimeans.

I think a more realistic possibility is the scheme just collapsing and bringing down the system with it in a way that makes the 2008 financial crisis look like a joke. Maybe next time don't sell off all your industry and human capital to enemy nations. Just to go on a tangent, we can trace almost every terrible decision and the decline of the standard of living in Western nations to their mutual decisions to pivot from manufacturing and industry to service economies, and fully embracing globalism (in an economic sense, to clarify) - which has had the side effect of making EVERYONE disposable, with it only being a matter of time. It started with outsourcing manufacturing to third world countries, continuing to outsourcing services, and the hope being that "AGI" will be able to completely remove the human element from the economy. Hence, why 'the system' is pursuing it with such fervor and desperation; if this doesn't work, they've essentially spent trillions of dollars that could have gone into industry on fancy autocomplete.
AI was the last Hail Mary of the Pax Americana
Human behaviour subconsciously operates on the path of least resistance, that people will generally take the action - or inaction - which is the easiest and simplest to do: Unless it is more problematic to not act than to act, most people will continue to do nothing. Hence, until AI gets to the point where most people literally cannot afford food and potable water (which, is definitely a possibility, albeit remote in the near future) most people will be indifferent to big tech essentially looting everything of value from western society.I think a more realistic possibility is the scheme just collapsing and bringing down the system with it in a way that makes the 2008 financial crisis look like a joke.

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.

They never bothered to explain how any of that works, just completely ignored this new concept the movie brought and revolves around.
In short what they presented was:
You die, you are in a giant waiting lobby, you get to choose your own eternity which is a world in which you spend eternal existence in but you only get to choose once, if you choose one and then try to get out or switch they will try to catch you and if they catch you they send you to an eternal void, eternities are scarce and some eternities are "sold out" or "defunct" because they became full or are "outdated" (i.e. they mentioned racist eternities and a "marxist world eternity" was also shown to be "sold out"), the MC's wife somehow manages to switch eternities without being caught and we're left to assume she lives forever in the new eternity, some people don't choose so they have to stay in the lobby and do jobs.

In the first half of 2025 alone, Russian courts convicted 29 teenagers under terrorism statutes. An increasing number of minors have also been sentenced to prison or juvenile facilities for voicing opposition to the war in Ukraine.

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

The counter argument to the LTV was essentially that value was determined subjectively. But even then, without the LTV, you can still have an exploitation theory. Objectively, you can still say that the workers are coerced into accepting their wages mainly because they don't themselves dispose of the means of production. Even in a marginalist conceptions, the workers produce goods that are worth more than their wage, and the surplus goes towards the bourgeoisie.
Shouldn't we aim at proving that the workers don't have a say in how the revenue is distributed, and that their wage doesn't signal a "time preference" but rather a systemic coercion by a lack of ownership ?
Why do we even try to defend the LTV ?
The LTV was used mainly to defend the exploitation theory. Its role in it was to point out the difference between the labor-power and the labor value, the latter being created by the former. The argument was that the bourgeoisie could appropriate itself the surplus value in exchange of wages (labor value when exchanged for money - labor-power value [wages]) and that the proletariat couldn't decide for itself given that it lacked the means of production.The counter argument to the LTV was essentially that value was determined subjectively.

True merit-based justice largely vanished with the end of the Paleolithic era. Hunter-gatherer societies maintained actual equality through mobility, immediate-return sharing, and active resistance to dominance—creating an immediate, authentic egalitarianism rooted in face-to-face relations.
Anthropological evidence from modern foragers and archaeological insights suggests low inequality, with mechanisms like ridicule or ostracism preventing hierarchy.
The Neolithic Revolution introduced agriculture, surpluses, and storable wealth around 10,000 years ago, enabling private property, land accumulation, and deepening stratification.
This trend intensified over millennia, entrenching systemic unfairness.
Marxist communism cannot replicate this authentic Paleolithic egalitarianism, as it advocates a large-scale, anonymous societal machine, ultimately producing new hierarchies, as historical implementations and critiques (e.g., anarchist views on state coercion) demonstrate.
This isn't a left-right issue: both sides accept the post-Paleolithic framework, debating adjustments rather than its core inequities.

“The remaining four will continue to refuse food on the basis of [their] demands,” the group said on Tuesday.
The hunger strikers are demanding immediate bail, the right to a fair trial, and for the UK to de-proscribe Palestine Action, which it outlawed as a “terror” group in July. For their part, the pro-Palestinian group says the UK government is complicit in Israeli war crimes committed in Gaza.

‘No negotiation, no truce’ with RSF, says senior Sudan official
Speaking to ministers and state officials in Port Sudan, the eastern city where the government is based, he dismissed the narrative that the war is aimed at achieving “democracy”. Instead, he described the war as a “conflict over resources and a desire to change Sudan’s demographics” and emphasised an opportunity to strengthen national unity. This comes days after Sudan’s Prime Minister Kamil Idris presented a plan to end the country’s nearly three-year war before the United Nations Security Council.

MODERN DAY BRUTALITY ON A WORLDWIDE SCALE
The policy (the so-called 'War on Drugs') is built on a gross deception: that drugs other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine comprise a unique group of substances that present an unacceptable risk to health and welfare. This is wholly incorrect: alcohol and tobacco are the most dangerous drugs in existence. The criminalisation of associations with substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine creates a criminal underclass that is the resource for the strategy.
The so-called 'War on Drugs' has absolutely nothing to do with drug use or drug-related harm of any kind: it is purely a worldwide economic system based on intentionally-created crime.
It results in mass imprisonment, fining, asset forfeiture, execution, wars, state-sanctioned murder and endemic violence etc. It provides the pretext under which huge sums of public money are allocated and sustains a massively profitable black market in substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine.
The US oppresses its own citizens under the name of the policy and this oppression extends worldwide, with governments forced to oppress their own citizenry or be chastised and threatened by the US through the United Nations.
Those who profit from or otherwise wish for the so-called 'War on Drugs' to continue constantly proffer the falsehood that the strategy is related to substance use and the prevention and minimisation of drug-related harm. Those who profit from the oppression of others include but are not limited to enforcement organisations and the prison industry, the legal and welfare systems, academia and a plethora of other industries.
The phenomenon continues due to the power and ruthlessness of the US and its ability to generate economic activity. Its true motives are kept hidden via the mass complicity of governments, the press and those who profit from it.
Unless the policy is recognised for what it actually is, it will continue to impose its oppression and brutality on a worldwide scale. The world will not have the opportunity for a more peaceful existence so long as it continues.
A salient and current example of the lawlessness and brutality of the US is the apparent unilateral strikes on alleged transportation of illicit substances by so-called 'narcoterrorists'. These killings have occurred in international waters and illustrate clearly the arrogance of the US administration. The strikes achieve several important aims for the US and its brutal "War on Drugs':
red bullet pointThe US administration aim is to be perceived as taking steps to protect its citizenry from a unique threat to health and welfare. This of course is complete nonsense. Nonetheless, this course of action bolsters the administration's political advantage in the eyes of those who do not understand the situation.
red bullet pointIf a reduction in supply occurs, this inflates the price of the commodity (given the demand remains strong) thereby ensuring the continuance of the trade. Traffickers will continue to supply the substances due to the substantial and increased monetary rewards available.The vibrancy of the trade ensures the profits and corruption continue thereby sustaining those who benefit from the intentionally-created crime.
red bullet pointThe military action provides 'work' for the military and associated industries involved in supporting it. Using weapons reduces the stockpile and facilitates the production of new stock.
In summary, the actions form part of the active perpetuation of the environment of intentionally-created crime that is the "War on Drugs". The whole situation is designed and maintained by the US for the purposes of financial gain and political advantage.
Since President Richard Nixon escalated the political strategy of intentionally creating crime in order to secure political advantage and financial gain, the United States has forced every country in the world to engage in the policy and thereby brutalise and oppress its own citizens. This is done under the watchful eye of the US and the United Nations (which administers international 'treaties' compelling signatories to engage in the obscenity). The result is a world mired in intentionally-created crime which gives rise to brutality, oppression and numerous human-rights abuses.

The strikes achieve several important aims for the US and its brutal "War on Drugs':
red bullet pointThe US administration aim is to be perceived as taking steps to protect its citizenry from a unique threat to health and welfare. This of course is complete nonsense. Nonetheless, this course of action bolsters the administration's political advantage in the eyes of those who do not understand the situation.
red bullet pointIf a reduction in supply occurs, this inflates the price of the commodity (given the demand remains strong) thereby ensuring the continuance of the trade. Traffickers will continue to supply the substances due to the substantial and increased monetary rewards available.The vibrancy of the trade ensures the profits and corruption continue thereby sustaining those who benefit from the intentionally-created crime.
red bullet pointThe military action provides 'work' for the military and associated industries involved in supporting it. Using weapons reduces the stockpile and facilitates the production of new stock.
In summary, the actions form part of the active perpetuation of the environment of intentionally-created crime that is the "War on Drugs". The whole situation is designed and maintained by the US for the purposes of financial gain and political advantage.
Since President Richard Nixon escalated the political strategy of intentionally creating crime in order to secure political advantage and financial gain, the United States has forced every country in the world to engage in the policy and thereby brutalise and oppress its own citizens. This is done under the watchful eye of the US and the United Nations (which administers international 'treaties' compelling signatories to engage in the obscenity). The result is a world mired in intentionally-created crime which gives rise to brutality, oppression and numerous human-rights abuses.

Dialectical Materialism
Can anyone tell me what dialectical materialism is and how we can use it when analysing history? What do I read to understand it? I did some cursory research and found Plekhanov's essays on history and materialism. But I find Marx's writings on the subject of dialectical materialism too scattered to do a proper study of his texts. After the fall of the Soviet Union, people kind of thought dialectical materialism was woo woo. But I understand that Derrida responded to Fukuyama's thesis that liberalism will be the next world order, and that Marxist analysis and dialectical materialism never came true, but Derrida isn't an outright Marxist and his writings are usually only riffing on Marx rather than looking at history under a materialist lens. Derrida just seems sympathetic rather than using actual Marxist philosophy.https://www.marxists.org/archive/plekhanov/1893/essays/3-marx.htm

don't bother studying any political theory or philosophy from the 21st century, marx and engels already figured out how the entire world works in 1893. everything that can be learned has been learned, we understand ourselves and our world perfectly and now the only thing to do is put down the books and join the vanguard party. don't overstress your tiny little brain trying to think, it's a waste of time. the men already got it figured it out, sweetheart. the time for critical thought and introspection and empathy for the human condition is over, now it's time for the real work. let's make america great again.

In Peru, record 34 candidates are presidential hopefuls amid political distrust
The list of registered candidates includes the former right-wing mayor of Lima, Rafael López Aliaga, known as "Porky" for his resemblance to a famous cartoon character. Conservative Fujimori will try again after attempts in 2011, 2016 and 2021, when she was defeated by leftist Pedro Castillo, who was impeached and arrested in late 2022. Other candidates include Vladimir Cerrón, a fugitive from justice and leader of the Marxist party Peru Libre that brought Castillo to the presidency, Carlos Álvarez, a popular comedian and impersonator of former presidents, George Forsyth, a former soccer goalkeeper, and Mario Vizcarra, brother of jailed former president Martín Vizcarra.

>By Cansu Oba
>A recent article published by one of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s media outlets has provided an opportunity to revisit certain aspects of the movement’s class character and ideological foundations.
>In reality, this stance is not new. Throughout Abdullah Öcalan’s years in prison, he has repeatedly produced statements and writings that target socialist experiences and the founders of scientific socialism. These have for some time been highlighted in the movement’s own media.
>What makes the current moment significant is that Öcalan is one of the central actors in an ongoing political process in Turkey. The “peace process”—carried out with the open support of the leader of the fascist party and through direct contact between Öcalan, a parliamentary commission, and state officials—has transformed the political environment. At the same time, a former co-chair and current MP of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s party, the DEM Party, declared that the party now effectively serves as the country’s main opposition. All of this signals that the emerging bourgeois political landscape provides fertile ground for the resonance between the Kurdish nationalist movement’s attacks on socialism and the bourgeois politics’ more traditional forms of anti-communism.
>Yet the PKK was never, in reality, a genuinely Marxist-Leninist organization. Founded in the late 1970s, a period in which the left dominated Turkey’s political and social arena, the PKK employed Marxist-Leninist terminology and drew from these values, but it was always, at its core, a national movement.
>Claims that Öcalan has “surpassed Marxism”—when considered together with his recent statement that he has been “waiting 50 years to be understood”—suggest a line of ideological continuity rather than a merely conjunctural shift.
>The Kurdish nationalist movement, now firmly situated somewhere between social democracy and nationalism within Turkey’s political landscape, has strengthened ties with various factions of the bourgeoisie, including some of Turkey’s most prominent capitalist families. Meanwhile, its distance from the republic’s founding principles and from secularism has frequently aligned it with the AKP government not only on current political issues but also on long-term regional strategy. The most recent peace process aimed to formalize this alignment into a strategic partnership tied to a broader regional imperialist project.
>Outside Turkey, however—especially in Europe—the movement’s image is refracted and softened within left-wing public opinion. One reason is certainly the complexity of Turkish politics, which is difficult to understand from the outside. But this is not the only factor.
>International exposure to Turkey has grown, and it is easier than ever to follow developments due to the country’s increasing visibility in global media. It is therefore hard to claim that these kinds of statements or texts are inaccessible to international audiences. Indeed, the movement’s arguments, as well as interviews with its representatives, frequently appear in European publications.
>And some realities speak for themselves. The passages quoted below illustrate this clearly. Before turning to them, however, it must be noted that this “misperception” is also reinforced by the European reading of Turkish politics exclusively through the lens of an “authoritarian Turkish government.” While not wholly inaccurate, this perspective often ignores or obscures class dynamics within Turkey and the AKP government’s alignment with Turkish capital. As a result, many international observers view the Kurdish nationalist movement’s struggle primarily through a liberal “freedom vs. authoritarianism” framework.
>Additionally, a long-standing romanticism within parts of the European left regarding the right of oppressed nations to self-determination—regardless of contemporary material conditions—has also contributed to this distortion, something the movement itself has instrumentalized.
>Yet during this same period, within the movement’s own press, articles are found accusing communist movements of “defending the system,” equating actually existing socialism with fascism, and claiming that Marxist, Leninist, and Maoist revolutions ultimately became instruments of systemic power:
>“The Marxist, Leninist, and Maoist revolutions—built through immense sacrifice and effort—ultimately became entangled with the system and even evolved into its strongest defenders. Lenin’s Soviets, under Stalin, transformed into a form of Soviet fascism, while Mao’s communism was pushed into becoming a major capitalist force. A socialism detached from society cannot become anything more than an extension of the existing system.
For this reason, new and innovative ideas must be developed within socialism, Marxism, Leninism, and Maoism. Socialism needs to be re-evaluated and re-socialized. A viable socialism must be freed from mistaken interpretations and outdated mentalities so that its social essence can emerge. A socialism that does not belong solely to a single class must be approached broadly and rooted within society as a whole.”
>The text goes on to declare that socialism does not belong to any particular class, and that Öcalan has brought new life to socialism:
>“Within this framework, Leader Apo (Abdullah Öcalan) sought to identify the shortcomings of socialism and to change and transform it into a socially grounded model. By addressing the weaknesses of real socialism and scientific socialism, he introduced a new perspective and, through the development of democratic socialism, aimed to reveal socialism’s core essence.”
>And finally, the author “buries” scientific socialism in Rojava—ironically one of the closest U.S. and Israeli allies in the region and a convenient asset in their Middle East strategy—and elevates it as the “first step of democratic socialism”:
>“Rojava is the place where this new perspective on socialism has been introduced and developed. Indeed, Rojava represents the final stop of socialism and the first step of democratic socialism.”
>As noted earlier, these are not new arguments. Öcalan’s own writings over the years contain many such analyses. His letter to the PKK’s 12th Congress—held last May, where the organization decided to dissolve itself—provides an especially distilled summary of this worldview and, in effect, rewrites the history of class struggle:
>“Historical materialism should replace class struggle with ‘the commune.’ It is more accurate to revise Marxism through this concept. History is not a history of class struggle but of conflict between the state and the commune.”
>He continues:
>“The fundamental contradiction begins with the conflict between the masculine and feminine elements in society. It does not originate from class. Marx’s class-based conflict theory is the main reason real socialism collapsed.”
>He even criticizes Marx for “not being Marxist”:
>“Marx, to live with his wife, sells his coat. He says, ‘Let me write this book so it earns money and saves my marriage.’ Is this what Marxism is supposed to be?”
>These quotes demonstrate that Öcalan’s approach is neither new nor incidental: it has deep roots in the ideological history of the movement.
>Why, then, is it important to accurately understand the PKK’s non-Marxist character now? As stated at the outset, Öcalan’s analysis now fuels a new wave of anti-communist discourse in Turkey. His claim that the PKK was founded on the basis of “real socialism,” but became dysfunctional once real socialism collapsed and could not find a replacement, mirrors the government’s own narrative that absolves the state and blames “the left” for past conflicts. In response, the TKP Central Committee emphasized that the PKK was never a Marxist organization and stated that, at a moment when the PKK is contemplating its own dissolution, the government’s effort to shift historical responsibility onto revolutionaries and socialism will not be allowed to stand uncontested. The statement underscored that a nationalism interwoven with liberalism—and political alliances with the United States or Israel—cannot in any form be reconciled with Marxism.
>Assuming this approach—rooted in anarchism and other petty-bourgeois ideologies, such as liberalism—within the left spectrum represents, from a leftist standpoint, a form of self-negation. Let us recall that in the same letter, Öcalan references Kropotkin and states, “Lenin should have listened to him,” even though Lenin, in the Marxist-Leninist tradition we inherit, criticized Kropotkin and the anarchist currents of his time for petty-bourgeois romanticism and utopianism. In this light, it is no coincidence that the author of the initially cited article remarks that Rojava reminds him of Thomas More’s works.
>There are, of course, certain limits to treating these theses with full theoretical seriousness. This is largely because they do not form a coherent whole, but rather consist of arguments drawn from various theoretical backgrounds and combined in an eclectic manner. Nevertheless, this movement has a significant social base and is still regarded in many parts of the world as a progressive or socialist force. For this reason, we need to address this somewhat misleading image with greater care and clarity.
>If we accept that Marxism cannot be stretched to the point of severing it from its class foundations, it becomes evident that this nationalist movement—whose ideological roots lie in pre-Marxist and non-Marxist traditions—must be approached without romantic lenses. In terms of realpolitik, tolerance for alliances with the United States and Israel or participation in expansionist neo-Ottoman projects, and, on the ideological plane, tolerance for petty-bourgeois currents and the new wave of anti-communism, are matters for those who have already abandoned the target of socialism—not for those committed to it.

The statement underscored that a nationalism interwoven with liberalism—and political alliances with the United States or Israel—cannot in any form be reconciled with Marxism.
>Assuming this approach—rooted in anarchism and other petty-bourgeois ideologies, such as liberalism—within the left spectrum represents, from a leftist standpoint, a form of self-negation. Let us recall that in the same letter, Öcalan references Kropotkin and states, “Lenin should have listened to him,” even though Lenin, in the Marxist-Leninist tradition we inherit, criticized Kropotkin and the anarchist currents of his time for petty-bourgeois romanticism and utopianism. In this light, it is no coincidence that the author of the initially cited article remarks that Rojava reminds him of Thomas More’s works.
>There are, of course, certain limits to treating these theses with full theoretical seriousness. This is largely because they do not form a coherent whole, but rather consist of arguments drawn from various theoretical backgrounds and combined in an eclectic manner. Nevertheless, this movement has a significant social base and is still regarded in many parts of the world as a progressive or socialist force. For this reason, we need to address this somewhat misleading image with greater care and clarity.
>If we accept that Marxism cannot be stretched to the point of severing it from its class foundations, it becomes evident that this nationalist movement—whose ideological roots lie in pre-Marxist and non-Marxist traditions—must be approached without romantic lenses. In terms of realpolitik, tolerance for alliances with the United States and Israel or participation in expansionist neo-Ottoman projects, and, on the ideological plane, tolerance for petty-bourgeois currents and the new wave of anti-communism, are matters for those who have already abandoned the target of socialism—not for those committed to it.

Sometimes when I feel depressed I think I'd support a dictator if there was none of this race-nonsense and Christ-cowardice. The open dictatorship of capital would be preferable to all so much spectacle of liberal democracy. I would support socially-liberal fascism. I respect strength, God is just kind of cowardly. Good industrial policy and fuck'em farmers and landlords is historically progressive.

Left leaning ideologies historically
What was the left wing or communist equivalent before communism? Liberalism? Republicanism? Can someone tell me other alternative ideologists like Stirner? And can someone tell me about forgotten historical left wing figures that deserve to be remembered?

"The most concrete link is his relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Epstein and Barak met numerous times between 2013 and 2017, with Barak visiting Epstein’s properties in Florida and New York approximately 30 times, including a 2014 private flight in Florida. Barak received $2.3 million from an Epstein-associated foundation between 2004 and 2006, and Epstein invested $1 million in a limited partnership established by Barak in 2015.
Another connection stems from Epstein’s ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father, Robert Maxwell, was a British media mogul alleged to have had links to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. Some sources, including former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe, have claimed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a “honey-trap” operation for Mossad to blackmail influential figures. A lawsuit by a woman identified as Jane Doe 200 alleged Epstein boasted of being a Mossad agent.
Epstein was also associated with the Wexner Foundation, which supports Jewish leadership and has ties to Israel. His financial backer, Leslie Wexner, was a member of the “Mega Group,” a collection of Jewish philanthropists, which some, like former NSA counterspy John Schindler, have speculated was linked to Israeli intelligence operations. Epstein reportedly invested in an Israeli startup, Reporty Homeland Security (later rebranded as Carbyne), connected to Israel’s defense industry, further fueling speculation."

Epstein is connected to Israel, this is why Trump is covering it up.

Although yes, One Battle After Another is the "blockbusterization" of the original novel. In the original Zoyd (Bob) is a side character to Prairie (Willa) and is actually third "protag" to Frensei(Perfidia) and Brock Vond(Lockjaw) mostly because he also doesn't look for her, he goes off screen because he is the one who sends away Prairie to go to DL(Deandra) from the start to split up so Vond can't get them together. Also because the book is 50% flashbacks, and that's probably because this is Pynchons attempt to put various short stories together into an over arching plot, but it means most of the book isn't action heavy. In fact any and all action is sort of kept to a flashbacks and single shot or hand to hand 1 on 1 combat.
This is because PTA doesn't understand the left or what Vineland had to say about it. Thanatoids are a big aspect of the original book. Thanatoids are debatable but are ultimately just Pynchons way of describing the average person becoming a treatlerite in first world nations due to immediate comfort and entertainment being granted to them, especially in the 80s, of which ones like Weed Atman, a leader of the 2nd major left wing org in the book, who was thought dead, is a part of. The entire thing is a massive critique on how quickly pacified the entire American left is, and PTA completely flushes it down the toilet for quick scenes of Mexicans fighting riot police.
In the actual book, whenever the army and cops get involved, the thanatoids don't do shit. DL (Deandra) and Takeshi (Sergio or at least close as possible to them in the book) take back Prairie with them to check out the situation at the same time the rest of her family go back to Vineland, and they note how scared everyone is and none of them do shit.
This is because the entire book this is just part of life too to a lesser measure, Americans are absolutely fine with fascist like regimes and PMCs strolling their streets as long as it doesn't affect them, it's only when Brock Vond starts to push it a little too hard that they get upset enough to be scared. Not act, just get scared.
-In fact earlier in the book during a flashback it's made clear during Weed Atman's day the entire reason people run to him and create a leftist org centered on him is because an ex Nazi working for the DEA is already doing what Brock does in the future by riding around in a helicopter for CAMP and ruling the local Cali county with an iron fist. This implies before Vond there was already someone else doing this, and there "always will be" in a sense, who ends up being replaced because Vond is the one who pacifies Atman and his org with Frensei as his pawn, not the Nazi who isn't even aware of the op going on.
-In the first (or 2ndish) chapter Zoyd gets a scare after a squad raids a restaurant he's at only for it to be revealed they're a private security army for a local asylum trying to capture ex DEA Hector. Who is not in the movie because PTA reduced a lot of it and Hector kind of just exists to be an easy out for Frensei.
It's pretty apparent how hopeless the situation is by the end as they eventually all come back to Vineland and no one does anything, Zoyd plans on eventually trying to get some guns and taking the fight to Vond, but so many people tried assassinating Vond that he knows it's impossible, so it's of no surprise that even as they hide out in the woods Vond finds them pretty easily and kidnaps Prairie for like 5 minutes.
Which brings me to Brock Vond himself, Vond in the novel is pretty clear cut evil fascist I'd say that his character in the movie, although entertaining is pretty much a liberalized white washing based on "racism is bad."
Yeah racism is bad, but Vond is as fascist as it gets, he doesn't see race because he is outright Lombrosian. He goes around measuring criminals skulls and considers them non human regardless of race. He might send people to impersonate him unknowingly and get them killed but putting innocents in danger is the most innocent thing he's done compared to how he views the world.
In the movie we don't get half as many flashbacks to Vond (Lockjaw) who is a DEA prosecutor in the book that looks like RFK Sr and is a vampire, in the movie he's just shown as this racist colonel following orders who eventually gets told "Oh yeah join our racist society for 30% discounts at McDonalds only if you kill your black daughter." In the book though Vond is probably the best fictional fascist ever. He doesn't get any one reason for the way he is but multiple. His first memory is laughing at the tv so hard he thinks he's going to choke to death only for the pain of throwing up to break up the loop and as a child becoming alienated from the notion of joy brough on by modern artificial society aka "the tube" bringing it about before he's ready for it. This makes Vond grow isolated from himself, and eventually he locks away parts of himself he's afraid of as much as everyone is afraid of him, his "anima" which grows just as vengeful as the rest of him. Brought about by a deep hatred of capitalist societies contradictions propping up through left wing groups filling him with rage, he psychologically becomes domineering and manipulative. He's no physical threat, he barely even has a gun, but he doesn't just get off on sexually assaulting women, he actively worms his way into others minds, acting like a dark vampiric figure sucking their energy and acting through them. His transformation becomes so apparent that there's a fun scene in the book where he goes on a plane and a little girl instantly clocks his aura and starts screaming he's going to molest her so he uses his diplomatic power to get her and her mother kicked off.
Which is why Brock also doesn't give a shit deep down if Prairie is his daughter. PTA clearly just didn't get the book because the fact is Vond only wanted to abduct Prairie just to play with his food. In the movie it's a center point because he needs her dead but in the book it's clear Vond doesn't give a shit, he plans on killing them all because they aren't humans, and the only reason he did it then is because he finally had Atman, DL, Frensei, Zoyd, and who knows how many more ex hippies living there to finally kill under the guise of the war on drugs. Prairie is blonde and blue eyed like Frensei in the book, but like the Nazis, Brock doesn't give a shit, in his puritanical and violent mentality these "criminals" are a different breed and not human. He never stopped hating communists enough to shift enemies which is why Regan cut his funding right as he thought he won. The book even mentions he never wanted kids or gave it much thought, letting Zoyd keep Prairie for years on end because he was an actual fascist who felt crusade and war mattered above all, and child raising was just a NPC retarded goycattle act, and these are practically Pynchons exact words. To make it even more concrete Pynchon sets the novel a year prior to the first forensic DNA test. Prairie see's more of her features in her dad after not seeing him for a while, implying Brock isn't the dad in the book, but the fact it is it doesn't matter. Not even because "Durr Bob raised her." But because Vond never would have seen her as anything more than an abomination he would have aborted in her mothers womb if he had the chance anyway. That's why Prairie says "My blood type is A, yours is Preparation H." Vond isn't even human by the end his fascism has transformed him into something else completely.
Credit where credit is due his death is pretty equivalent in book and movie, in the book he steals a helicopter and revolver after military support is cut and he is called back to DC, presumably to try and kill everyone on his shitlist by himself but crashes it then his soul has to be escorted to the afterlife by Blood and Vato, two characters who are implied to be modern shaman types who tow a car in a area near bigfoot earlier in the book just to set them up that way– it's a whole thing. Likewise in the movie he crashes a car after his own support network turns on him and survives only to be killed later, surreally enough to be a believable dying fantasy. It's pretty cool but it alone isn't enough to make up for the fact that PTA stripped so much out of the novel it kind of misses the entire point and actively just defangs many of its messages. Yeah I'm aware it isn't a adaptation of Vineland, just "inspired by" but here's the thing:
I think in the worst way possible PTA sort of contributes to this in a cosmically ironic sort of way. Vond and the thanatoids are either birthed or controlled by the tube, which is a metaphor for the modern worlds consumerist spectacle. By stripping the book of these complexities to make it a topical modern antifa vs the chud ICE military wignats he sort of just contributes to both the pacifying critical thinking through reducing aspects or the enraging people into further fascism aspect. The book is very much about how Frensei and 24fps intended on using film to spread awareness of leftism, only for the world they end up bringing their children to, to have pacified them further on top of birthing their worst enemies. The further I compare the two the more depressed I realize that every time some lib blindly praises it on Letterbox'd or reddit we are just guaranteed that this thanatoid world will continue for another century or more at least.
Well there you have it that's my analysis. The left has been pacified, maybe it never even existed, and fascism neither prevails nor dies, it just continues business as usual.
Goodnight
PTA doesn't understand the left, Vineland or Fascism
I reread Vineland and rewatched One battle for this. Modern /tv/ is too stupid for this, /film/ and /lit/ would find it boring or wouldn't get the discussion. You'll probably get more mileage here than any of them would have because this isn't so much about the plot structure or anything.Although yes, One Battle After Another is the "blockbusterization" of the original novel. In the original Zoyd (Bob) is a side character to Prairie (Willa) and is actually third "protag" to Frensei(Perfidia) and Brock Vond(Lockjaw) mostly because he also doesn't look for her, he goes off screen because he is the one who sends away Prairie to go to DL(Deandra) from the start to split up so Vond can't get them together.

The book is very much about how Frensei and 24fps intended on using film to spread awareness of leftism, only for the world they end up bringing their children to, to have pacified them further on top of birthing their worst enemies. The further I compare the two the more depressed I realize that every time some lib blindly praises it on Letterbox'd or reddit we are just guaranteed that this thanatoid world will continue for another century or more at least.
Well there you have it that's my analysis. The left has been pacified, maybe it never even existed, and fascism neither prevails nor dies, it just continues business as usual.

What's the difference between national Bolshevism, National Socialism and Stalinism (minus the metaphysical commitment to materialism?). My understanding is that fascism allies with big business to crush the labour unions and reforms but Stalinism/National Bolshevism doesn't do that, so the difference is only philosophical?

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

How to get educated?
Hello – I don't really know anything about politics. Where do I start? Any short texts I can pick up? Open to a wide variety of perspectives. I know picrel is from someone who probably isn't very well regarded around here but I did find it interesting, and I also thought "well I don't want to psyop myself into becoming a Nazi" so I may as well ask here.

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

Who's to say that a "techno-feudal" future wouldn't literally be techno-feudal? Is this really at odds with capitalism?
The Roman patrician class. Patrician comes from pater, pater meaning father. "Descendant of father". What father? Allegedly, the one of several that originally settled Rome. These fathers monopolized power over the presumed late-comer migrants to Rome who would become the plebs. To use an analogy, it's like how today you might immigrate somewhere but find yourself discriminated in employment and housing because you're not "one of them" even if you obtain citizenship. But on a smaller scale.
The power of a patrician did not necessarily come from being a "household name". Rather it is belonging to the collective of "household names" that gave power. A bundle of sticks, if you will. A ruling class. We are taught in schools however that the distinction between patrician and pleb faded. Did the ruling class fade? No, the ruling class became "the wealthy". Actually, the patricians were already "the wealthy". The only thing that changed is that now, the plebs could become "the wealthy", too.
In other words, the bundle of sticks expanded to incorporate new "sticks". Why could the original fathers of Rome monopolize their power in the first place? Because from the very start they were "the wealthy" relative to the late-comer migrants.
By the way, virtually the exact same thing played out in Athens. The eupatridae were the Athenian equivalent of patricians.
The old Marxist tale is that capitalism defeated feudalism. Leaving aside the fact that "feudalism" is ill-defined. In vernacular conception, "feudalism" is rule of nobility. But as we've established, "nobility" (such as the patricians and the eupatridae) is older than Medieval Europe. Well, what the old Marxists wanted to say really, is that the descendants of Medieval European nobles were defeated by the "bourgeoisie". This happened, right?
You might find two factoids interesting.
One, in Medieval European cities, wealthy "burgher" or bourgeois (if you will l) families were known as "patricians". Can you guess if that had something to do with monopolizing power?
Two, England is cited as the birthplace of capitalism as we know it today. If this is correct, the first "capitalists" would have in fact been the land-owning English gentry (who are "minor" nobility, in the English system semantically not referred to as nobility but being in effect what in other countries would be referred to as the lower nobility).
Are all ruling classes actually the same?

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

According to SOHR local sources, interim government forces targeted Sheikh Maqsoud and Al-Ashrafieh with mortar shells and heavy machine guns of the “DShK” type, in parallel with direct clashes on several fronts inside the two neighbourhoods, causing widespread panic among civilians. In the same context, SOHR sources reported that seven injured people were taken to Al-Razi Hospital in Aleppo city, including two members of the Civil Defence, as a result of the shelling and ongoing clashes. Meanwhile, the Gaziantep–Aleppo road was closed from the Al-Layramoun roundabout side, following sniper fire attributed to SDF targeting the vicinity of Sheihan Roundabout, amid heightened security deployment.

Turkish FM casts doubt on Kurdish integration in Syria
Ankara says the SDF presence along its southern borders poses a security threat to both Turkey and Syria, and that the Damascus government must address this. It has said any integration must ensure the SDF is disbanded - in line with a disarmament process between outlawed Kurdish PKK militants and the Turkish state - and its chain of command broken.

Israel's new NGO rules risk leaving hundreds of thousands of Gazans without healthcare in 2026, MSF warns
The new requirements threaten to withdraw registration from international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) from January 1. This non-registration would prevent humanitarian organisations from providing essential services to people in Gaza and the West Bank, MSF said today. “With Gaza’s health system already destroyed, independent and experienced humanitarian organisations losing access to respond would be a disaster for Palestinians,” MSF said.

Chants of ‘globalise the intifada’, the phrase Minns wants to ban, at Sydney rally against proposed protest law changes
A crowd of 300 at Sydney’s town hall observed a minute’s silence for the victims of the Bondi shooting and briefly chanted “globalise the intifada” at a protest some feared would be their last for months. Chants followed an address by Sara Saleh, a human rights lawyer with Palestinian heritage, who condemned the shooting at Bondi but emphasised that she did not want any children to die like the attack’s youngest victim, 10-year-old Matilda. “That is precisely why I intend to keep saying, ‘Globalise the intifada, free Palestine,’” Saleh said.

Japan prepares to restart world's biggest nuclear plant, 15 years after Fukushima
Japan took the final step to allow the world's largest nuclear power plant to resume operations with a regional vote on Monday, a watershed moment in the country's return to nuclear energy nearly 15 years after the Fukushima disaster. Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, located about 220 km (136 miles) northwest of Tokyo, was among 54 reactors shut after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami crippled the Fukushima Daiichi plant in the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.

Thailand to resume ceasefire talks with Cambodia on Wednesday, foreign minister says
Cambodia has publicly said it is ready for an unconditional ceasefire, but Bangkok says it hasn’t received any direct proposal and believes such statements are aimed at increasing international pressure, rather than resolving the issue, Mr Sihasak said. The general border committee involving both nations will meet on Wednesday to iron out detailed measures toward a lasting ceasefire, he said.

Ukrainians in Poland face growing resentment
Many things have combined to bring about this change of feeling. Resentment has been stoked by disinformation and viral videos online. Moreover, the election of rightwing populist Karol Nawrocki as president in June 2025 followed an acrimonious campaign which shifted the whole political debate further to the right. Ukrainians are more often portrayed as ungrateful and hungry for benefits, despite economic data showing they are net contributors to the Polish economy.

According to Finance Minister German Avila, the gap threatens the basic functioning of government and leaves the government with no choice but to declare an economic emergency. President Gustavo Petro said earlier his month that as long as his administration is in power, “we will not let the poor pay for” the deficit. By declaring an economic emergency, the government will appropriate the extraordinary and temporary right to impose taxes that would alleviate the crisis by decree.

Turkish FM casts doubt on Kurdish integration in Syria
Ankara says the SDF presence along its southern borders poses a security threat to both Turkey and Syria, and that the Damascus government must address this. It has said any integration must ensure the SDF is disbanded - in line with a disarmament process between outlawed Kurdish PKK militants and the Turkish state - and its chain of command broken.

Israel's new NGO rules risk leaving hundreds of thousands of Gazans without healthcare in 2026, MSF warns
The new requirements threaten to withdraw registration from international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) from January 1. This non-registration would prevent humanitarian organisations from providing essential services to people in Gaza and the West Bank, MSF said today. “With Gaza’s health system already destroyed, independent and experienced humanitarian organisations losing access to respond would be a disaster for Palestinians,” MSF said.

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

A very common tactic on this site is to defend an idea on the basis that it is in some way Marxian, or fits in with so and so Marxist concept. This is, frankly, really fucking stupid. Pretty much all of the key Marxist thinkers have placed great emphasis on the fact that Marxism is a broad intellectual framework; a way of analyzing the world that is open to modification as it's tested against real-world material conditions.
But people here treat it as if it's a dogma; as if there's a set of ideas that must be absolutely accepted if one is to be a proper communist. It's like if we treated Einsteinan physics circa the mid 20th centure as the only valid kind of physics and scolded anyone who questioned it. Why? It's such an unscientific approach to science. Can somebody please explain this to me?

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

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

Need help finding a Marx quote
Hey guys, a couple of days ago, while reading an article, I remembered about a Marx quote where he talks about the use of methods and methodologies in Science by comparing them to a ray of light and a piece of glass (I think? I can't quite remember correctly, something like that anyway). In the quote he says something along the lines of "If knowledge is a ray of light and a method is a piece of glass then by utilising a method we are merely observing the reflection of the ray of light, not the ray of light itself" (I think). The problem is I read this quote so long ago I've forgotten it's exact phrasing.I've been searching for it for days and I haven't been able to find it, I figured it would be been in the German Ideology, or maybe Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, or the Philosophical Manuscripts but none of those have anything similar.

Brazil's Lula, Argentina's Milei clash over Venezuela at Mercosur summit
Sparring comments from Lula and Milei came at a meeting of the South American bloc, at which a future trade deal with the European Union was on the agenda. But the tensions over Venezuela – once a member of Mercosur but suspended in 2016 – exploded in the open, with Lula warning that armed conflict could spark a "humanitarian catastrophe," and Milei praising Trump's sabre-rattling approach to the crisis.

Colombian mercenaries in Sudan ‘recruited by UK-registered firms’
Both figures – Colombian nationals in their 50s – are described in documents at Companies House, the government register of firms operating in the UK, as living in Britain. The firm is active. The day after the US treasury announced sanctions on those behind the Colombian mercenary operation – 9 December – Zeuz Global abruptly moved its operation to the very heart of London. On 10 December the firm shared “new address details”. Its new postcode matches One Aldwych, a five-star hotel in Covent Garden.

Vigil in London for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel
Tens of people gathered in central London on Saturday to call for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, drawing attention to those detained under what Israel calls ”administrative detention” — a system under which people can be held for indefinite renewable periods of time without a charge and without having committed an offence — on the grounds that a person plans to break the law in the future.

New South Wales to debate sweeping crackdown ‘extremism’ following anti-semitic Bondi Beach massacre
State premier Chris Minns said the chant “globalise the intifada” will also be banned, in a move trying to link the anti-semitic murders of 15 people — including a 10-year-old girl — at a Hanukkah celebration, with the international movement in solidarity with Palestine. “Horrific, recent events have shown that the chant ‘globalise the intifada’ is hate speech and encourages violence in our community,” Minns told reporters. “You’re running a very risky racket if you’re thinking of using that phrase.”

New Zealand primary school teachers reject pay-cutting deal
The vote cuts across efforts by the union bureaucracy to divide and demobilise workers following the “mega strike,” and to persuade them that there is no alternative to accepting real wage cuts. Teachers must now take the next step: build rank-and-file committees, controlled by teachers and school staff, to break the stranglehold of the union leadership and fight to unite the working class in a powerful movement against austerity and militarism.

I recently read through two of Caleb Maupin’s books (The American Years of Lead and the one on Trotsky and the Neocons). Maupin asserts that intellectual elites (PMC) are heavily into salon culture and edgy things that have aristocratic connotations. For instance, intellectual elites (PMC) are the ones who hold an overly-romantic view of revolution and romanticize terrorism and political violence. They’re the ones that conjure up images of a big apocalyptic revolution similar to the Christian rapture whereby every little aspect of the existing society is destroyed. He also heavily emphasized that the PMC hates the genuine working/class, because they see them as a threat to their power, so they deliberately manipulate working-class movements in order to offset and eventually dissolve them. Plus, they love sexual promiscuity and use “leftism” in order to promote it.
Last night, I watched a video on Sublation Media between Doug Alain and Chris Cutrone. Cutrone made the point that the PMC romanticize terrorism, mass destruction involving killing and raping, and the “noble death” because the PMC are “gangsters.” Not gangsters the way the ultra-rich capitalists are, but gangsters nonetheless.
My understanding is, intellectual elites love these things like violence and terror for the exact same reason they love modern “art” like Jackson Pollock and jazz and rap “music”: it’s all deeply irrational. They reject historical progress, favour the lumpen and those on the margins of society over the genuine proletariat, and promote destruction because they hate rationality. All of the things they promote as “leftism” are actually deeply aristocratic values: it’s the aristocracy that loves violence, sexual indulgence and a rejection of logic and linear time. I see it like this: intellectual elites, being Nietzscheans at heart, hate rationality and linear progress because they see those things as boxes that limit their ability to indulge, but also the fact that they already have their privileged positions and don’t need a proletarian revolution to have their basic needs met. In fact, a proletarian revolution would mean they lose their privileges and end up working in the fields. That’s also why they favour the lumpen: a “leftist” revolution lead by the lumpen would pose zero threat to them. After all, the marginalized find allies in college professors promoting queer studies and doctors handing out narcan, do they not?
Am I right or is there more to it?
Psychology of the PMC
I’m honestly curious to know what exactly makes the PMC (university professors, doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, artists, those types of people) adhere to the belief system they do. Namely, the psychology behind what’s often termed as “petit-bourgeois radicalism.”I recently read through two of Caleb Maupin’s books (The American Years of Lead and the one on Trotsky and the Neocons).

Communist Parties in the Holy Land
Greetings comrades, I made this thread to learn more about the communist parties of Israel and Palestine. We all know the Ziorats of LIkkud and the various anti-zio main players (Hezbollah, Hamas, Jenin etc), but I want to focus this thread on the explicitly communist ones. I am aware that many of you will find an 'Israeli communist' party an oxymoron in itself, but I am not asking about whether you support or like them. Just a straightforward exposé.We of course have heard of the PFLP bangers, but what are their strength nowadays? Are they on the rise among the Palestinian populace or on the decline?

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

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

Single-Payer Medicare For All Healthcare System: Expand Medicare to cover all Americans and 100% of all healthcare costs, paid for by raising the Medicare Payroll Tax from 1.45% to 6.2% on all Employers and Employees, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Free College: Make Tuition Free at all public colleges and universities and pay for it with a Financial Transaction Tax of .5% on Stocks, .1% on Bonds, and .005% on Derivatives. In addition to this forgive all Student Loan Debt, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

Corporations would pay a single 30% Tax rate, and all deductions would be eliminated for both Individuals and Corporations. In addition to this, the cap would be eliminated for Social Security Payroll Taxes in order to maintain the solvency of the Social Security trust fund for future generations, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Free Trade: Eliminate all Tariffs on imported goods, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Financial Regulation: Restore Glass-Steagall in order to break up Wall Street Banks by separating Commercial and Investment Banking, and institute a Financial Transaction Tax of .5% on Stocks, .1% on Bonds, and .005% on Derivatives, in order to pay for Free College, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Anti-Trust: Order the Justice Department to launch immediate Anti-Trust suits to break up Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other out of control Tech companies, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

Marijuana Legalization: Remove Marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances list and Legalize it at the Federal Level for both Recreational and Medical use, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Hard Narcotics Decriminalization: Decriminalize all Hard Narcotics such as Heroin, Cocaine, Meth, etc., in order to treat use of these Drugs as a Disease and not a Crime, with users placed in Rehab instead of Prison, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

FOREIGN POLICY AND DEFENSE:
The Middle East: End all Foreign Aid to the Zionist State and place a Arms Embargo on them until they agree to a Immediate Ceasefire, Prisoner/Hostage exchange, and IDF withdrawal from Gaza along with a clear pathway to implement a Two-State solution to the Zionist-Palestinian Conflict along the 1967 borders with 1:1 land swaps. Reenter the Iran Nuclear Deal, lift all Sanctions on Iran, and Reestablish Diplomatic Relations with Iran. Withdrawal all U$ troops from Syria, Iraq, and the rest of the Middle East.

Europe: Force Russia and Ukraine to agree to a Immediate Ceasefire in Ukraine along the line of contact, with eventual UN-observed Referendums held in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson to determine if these regions will be in Russia or Ukraine (If Russia refuses to agree to this the U$ will give Ukraine even more advanced weapons and Russia will face even more sanctions, while if Ukraine refuses to agree to this they will face a Arms embargo and sanctions just like Russia). If Russia agrees to this, U$ will halt the expansion of NATO, reenter the ABM and INF treaties with Russia, withdrawal all U$ troops from Eastern Europe, reduce the U$ military presence in Western Europe by 50%, end the Nuclear Sharing policy with NATO, lift all Sanctions on Russia, and recognize Crimea as part of Russia, with the caveat that the US will continue selling advanced weapons to Ukraine (I would even support selling them F-35s) in order to compensate for them not joining NATO, officially acknowledging Crimea as part of Russia, and potentially losing the other four occupied regions depending on the results of the UN-observed Referendums, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
East Asia: Sign a Peace Treaty with North Korea that officially ends the Korean War and permanently divides the peninsula, and subsequently lift all sanctions on North Korea, establish Diplomatic Relations with North Korea, and withdraw all U$ troops from South Korea. Maintain commitment to the One-China policy and the eventual Peaceful Reunification of China by stripping Taiwan of Major Non-NATO Ally status, and halting all Arms shipments to Taiwan, along with halting all provocative activities in the South China Sea in order to avoid an unnecessary War with China. And finally, reduce the U$ military presence in Japan by 50%, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

The Confederación General del Trabajo (General Confederation of Labour, CGT) drew thousands of demonstrators to central Buenos Aires and the iconic Plaza de Mayo, in front of the Casa Rosada, in rejection of the reform push. Milei’s labour reform bill, which the Senate began debating on Wednesday, places restrictions on the right to strike, reduces redundancy payouts and allows a 12-hour working day under select conditions. These measures, along with other changes outlined in the bill, are deemed unacceptable by the CGT’s leadership.

The Bolivian Workers’ Central Union (COB) declared a national strike and widespread mobilization in rejection of Supreme Decree 5503, popularly known as the “gasolinazo,” which eliminates fuel subsidies and facilitates the transfer of strategic resources to private entities without legislative oversight.

The COB instructed its more than 65 unions not to negotiate with the Executive Branch until the neoliberal decree is repealed.otests with marches. Protests could spread nationwide in the coming days, if the government doesn’t restore subsidies for gasoline and diesel, said Edson Valdez, a leader of the transportation union.

Far-right Alberta government invokes “Notwithstanding Clause” for fourth time in two months, as onslaught on democratic rights accelerates across Canada
Bill 9 shields three laws victimizing trans youth from constitutional and legal challenge, whether under Canada’s constitution, the Alberta Bill of Rights, or Alberta Human Rights Act. Its passage marks the fourth time in two months that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has invoked the “notwithstanding clause,” which enables Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial governments to impose laws that violate fundamental constitutional rights supposedly guaranteed under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

US, Israel and UAE discussed using Gaza gas to fund reconstruction, sources say
The discussions have taken various forms, but one includes the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) taking a stake in Gaza’s undeveloped gas fields and those funds contributing to the reconstruction of Gaza, the sources told MEE. The talks are preliminary, and like much of the post-war planning for Gaza that the US has spearheaded, even before a ceasefire was signed in October, no hard commitments have been made, the sources said. But the former western official told MEE that the idea of monetising Gaza’s gas for reconstruction resurfaced in December. Gas was discovered in Gaza’s marine field in 2000.

ANC demands SACP cadres recuse from its election structures

This is until both parties reach an agreement on the communist party’s decision to contest the 2026 local government elections alone. The ANC’s NGC ended in Boksburg, Johannesburg, on Thursday.

The move came after Lai on Monday refused to promulgate a legislative amendment that would have allowed local governments to receive a larger share of government revenue, arguing that the legislation would hurt the nation’s fiscal sustainability. Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) had declined to countersign the legislation earlier that day, which Lai cited as the reason for not publicly announcing the law, normally considered to be routine.

Farmers force right wing government to reconsider ethanol plant in India’s Rajasthan
On Wednesday, December 17, the government in India’s north-western province of Rajasthan was forced to reconsider the proposed ethanol plant in Hanumangarh district, after large-scale protests by the farmers refused to subside.

They then surged into the building, vandalised it and set fire to it. A few hundred yards away, another group of protesters pushed into the premises of the country’s leading English-language Daily Star and set fire to the building, according to footage from Kaler Kantha, another mainstream newspaper.

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

They're 100% going to use actual concept artists anyway, I get the feeling that they really like the fact they get to pay people to do that, lol. It just reduces the turn around time, like sure there might be some lost wages but I don’t see why we gotta live forever in a time of ideas guys being like "uhh make it like this" and then waiting a week for someone to draw the wrong thing when there's a tool to speed this up.
Hell, I doubt it even actually translates to lost wages so much as ideas they couldn't get the budget to explore anyway. We just have rose tinted glasses as consumers about concept art because we primarily consume all the "coolest" ones in the form of art books and don't see all the random rejected sketches and half baked ideas that went to a waste bin.

Turkey though… I know for a fact the Grey Wolves instigated the battle for Kahramanmaraş, at the behest of the Turkish military, by assassinating communists and turning the city into a small scale war zone.
Whereupon the Turkish army came in and arrested both the communists and fascists (the people who helped the orchestrate the entire mess), declared martial law across the nation and jailed their political opponents and executed thousands.
So yeah, individual/small scale political violence are useless, if anything counter productive because it gives opportunity for the state (irregardless of the ideology of the state and perpetrators of the violence) the opportunity to crack down on any form of dissent or opposition against the regime, be it “legal” or “illegal”.
If you’re going to do something (mind you something I entirely disagree with, but that’s my opinion) you either do it properly or you don’t do it at all.

The Ivy League school has now witnessed a blood bath. Multiple victims are reportedly dead. Suspect is apparently in custody and word is he’s an international student.
This shooting is in the same category as the killing of Charlie Kirk, killing of Brian Thompson, killing of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, the killing of Wesley LePatner, the Tesla burnings, the torching of Gov Shapiri’s home and many other acts of sporadic violence in America during the past year.
When will this stop???

“If we don't do it now, Brazil will not make any other agreements while I am president,” Lula warned. He argued that the Southern Common Market, also known as Mercosur and made up of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, has “given in on everything diplomatically possible” to secure the deal, which has been under negotiation since 1999.

Drone strike plunges Sudan major cities into darkness as civil war rages
Two civil defence members were killed, power plant officials said, while trying to extinguish the fire that erupted after the first strike, adding that rescue workers were injured when a second drone hit as they battled the flames. Al Jazeera correspondent Mohamed Vall in Port Sudan reported that residents initially thought a routine power cut had occurred, only to learn it was linked to incidents in Atbara, roughly 320km (about 230 miles) north of Khartoum.

Israel publishes updated death penalty bill for Palestinian prisoners
The revised bill reportedly specifies that executions would be carried out by shooting, the electric chair, hanging or lethal injection, by a prison officer whose identity would remain secret. It would also grant military courts authority to impose the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners from the occupied West Bank regardless of the prosecution’s position, while removing the requirement for unanimous verdicts and abolishing the rule that all judges must hold the rank of lieutenant colonel or above.

Egypt says gas deal with Israel is ‘purely commercial’
“The agreement serves a clear strategic interest for Egypt, namely strengthening its position as the sole regional hub for gas trading in the Eastern Mediterranean,” Rashwan added. Egypt’s announcement came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the approval of the gas agreement with Egypt on Wednesday evening and called it “the largest gas deal in Israel’s history”.

KP Sharma Oli Defies Critics, Tightens Grip on Nepal Communist Party with Third Term Victory
Oli’s decisive victory at this week’s party convention signals that despite the public backlash following the September 8-9 demonstrations that toppled his government and dissolved parliament, Oli retains overwhelming support within party ranks. Of the 2,227 delegates who voted, he got 1,663 votes – nearly 75% – while his challenger, Ishwar Pokharel, managed only 564 votes. Oli’s dominance within the CPN-UML stretches back nearly a decade. He first claimed the chairmanship in 2015 by defeating Madhav Kumar Nepal and then secured a second term in 2021 against Bhim Rawal. Both rivals have since defected to join a competing communist faction led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

Two years after becoming a fruit picker, Solomon Islander Susan Pinu was unemployed and found carrying her infant daughter in the rural town of Leeton, having left her employer over her poor pay. Many like her remain vulnerable over their immigration status, and some—including those who become pregnant—lack Medicare coverage and health insurance. “After everything, I felt like committing suicide,” Susan told the ABC.

The EU court’s judgement was condemned by a former PiS prime minister, who called it a “usurpation” of power by the CJEU aimed at “depriving Poland of its sovereignty”.

EU delays massive free-trade deal with South American bloc Mercosur, European Commission says
The decision came hours after farmers in tractors blocked roads and set off fireworks in Brussels to protest the trade deal, prompting police to respond with tear gas and water cannons. The farmers brought potatoes and eggs to throw and waged a furious back-and-forth with police. Protesters burned tires and a faux wooden coffin bearing the word “Agriculture.” Their fire unleashed a black cloud that swirled with white tear gas. The European Parliament evacuated some staff due to damage caused by protesters.

The "leftists" who call everything CIA are not really communists because they do not see revolutionary potential in the people, but only dumb sheep who would be lead astray by any CIA agent. They do not understand there is great contradiction in any movement and in any body of people, and do not have it in them to work with these masses. These "leftists" are only communists in aesthetics, while in actuality they support maintaining colonies for their favourite imperial power. They are truly the worst of the worst. They are not identifying that the CIA is working in any uprising, but instead they are just angry that the opposing imperial block might be trying to steal away a colony from them, without seeing the genuine potential of the people stuck in the middle. These anti-communists need to be thrown away into the latrine.
To the opportunist who challenges me on the issue of mass uprisings in Nepal
How about you read this translated article from the actual Nepali youth, who were situated at the centre of the movement? They sobrely analysed the situation they found themselves in and came to a nuanced and intelligent conclusion. Of course, they should have read this months ago, and they should have followed the social media of the Maoists engaged in the struggle who showed the revolutionary potential of the conflicted youth who needed people working within them in order to realise said revolutionary potential and avoid falling to the CIA reactionaries, but these people do not follow any real people and only these CIA/Mi6/FSB/MSS plants like HinKKKle, Greyzone etc., but they didn't so now they must be educated today.https://redherald.org/2025/09/13/revolutionary-students-front-context-nepal-imperialist-plot-vs-revolutionary-potential/

The Central District Military Court in Yekaterinburg has handed down a verdict to members of a Marxist group from Ufa. This was reported by an EAN correspondent from the courtroom.
The defendants in the case are Bashkir Communist Party deputy Dmitry Chuvilin* and his comrades: otolaryngologist Alexei Dmitriev*, pensioner Yuri Efimov*, and two volunteers who fought in Donbass in 2014-2015, fighters of the “Prizrak” battalion Pavel Matisov* and Rinat Burkeev*. Before his arrest, Matisov* was the chairman of the Ufa branch of the “Union of Donbass Volunteers.” The members of the group are accused of preparing for the violent seizure or retention of power (Article 278 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), creating a terrorist community (Article 205.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), and preparing to steal weapons (Article 226 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). In the end, the judge announced the verdict:
o Dmitry Chuvilin* — 20 years imprisonment;
o Alexey Dmitriev* — 20 years imprisonment;
o Yuri Efimov* — 18 years imprisonment;
o Pavel Matisov* — 22 years imprisonment;
o Rinat Burkeev* — 16 years imprisonment.
At the same time, an investigation is underway into the case of Left Front leader Sergei Udaltsov***. He was arrested on January 12, 2024, after publishing several posts on his Telegram channel in defense of the Ufa Marxists, which the investigation considers to be justification for terrorism.

At the same time, an investigation is underway into the case of Left Front leader Sergei Udaltsov***. He was arrested on January 12, 2024, after publishing several posts on his Telegram channel in defense of the Ufa Marxists, which the investigation considers to be justification for terrorism.

I'm probably going to get jumped but uh regardless, I'm feeling very frustrated because a lot of the more far left people i listen to keep saying to stop supporting stuff like DSA and junk and move to something more radical. but then they don't offer anything more radical, so we're just stuck in this feedback loop and i feel frustrated because i genuinely want to help. They keep saying that my arguments for not working on non-viable stuff is flawed but then they don't offer any alternatives and it's driving me up the wall. My main hope is that if a Dem Teaparty goes off, we can work on building actual space for third parties post trump. But I'm struggling on ways to do that, if any of you have any basic starter groups for a noobie demsoc like me please let me know. I wouldn't be here if i wasn't desperate

Al-Shaer had served as the head of the Bousan municipality since the beginning of the year. His last social media post contained criticism of local armed factions, describing them as being linked to security agencies of the regime of former dictator Bashar al-Assad, who was deposed in December 2024.

Lebanon likely to announce full disarmament of south 'in coming weeks'
“Would that [disarmament announcement] encourage Israel to realise that things are moving forward and they need to engage with the Lebanese?” Gabriel said, adding that, “We are hoping that the US would verify” any Lebanese claim. Lebanon previously said it would accept US or French soldiers deploying in the south to verify its military's work. Israel has carried out waves of strikes on Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of attempting to rearm and entrench itself. In November, Israel assassinated Haytham Ali Tabatabai, a senior Hezbollah commander, in a busy southern Beirut suburb, ramping up tensions.

Drone attacks kill over 100 civilians across war-torn Sudan’s Kordofan
At least 104 civilians have been killed in drone attacks across Sudan’s Kordofan region as fighting between rival military factions reached deadly new heights in the brutal civil war deep into its third year. The attacks have battered the central region since early December, right up to Friday, following the capture of a significant army base by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Babnusa after a week of intense fighting.

‘Save Bengal Rally’: Voices Rise Against Bipolar Politics; Flag Livelihood Issues
The rally, convened by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) ahead of the 2026 Assembly polls aims at “saving the rights of workers, farmers and the poor.” It is more than a political march, says a CPI(M) leader, adding that it is “a journey across Bengal’s fractured landscape, stitching together stories of dispossession, resilience, and hope.” From the agricultural belts of North Bengal to the industrial ruins of North 24 Parganas, the rally is carrying a singular message: livelihood must return to the centre of public discourse.

Announcing his move, Mr Driscoll said: “British politics is a mess and it’s not the fault of immigrants. “Food prices, energy prices, housing prices are all too high. Our economy isn’t working for workers, it isn’t working for small businesses. “It doesn’t have to be like this.

Spanish police evict around hundreds of migrants from squat deemed safety hazard
Knowing that the eviction in the middle of winter was coming, most of the occupants had left the squat to try to find other shelter before police in riot gear from Catalonia's regional police Mossos d'Esquadraentered the school’s premises early in the morning under court orders. Those who had waited left peacefully. The judicial order made the Badalona town hall provide the evicted people with access to social services, but it did not oblige local authorities to find alternative housing for all the squatters.

Whilst this is happening, Trump has pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking offences whilst going off about how conveniently the whole Venezuelan military high command is full of alleged drug traffickers. Honduras is of considerable strategic importance to the United States. With several U.S. Army bases situated there. Trump has also gone off about how the electorate must vote away from the Libre "communists" and vote anyone else.
Honduran election monitoring thread
Today begins the presidential and legislative election of the Central American of Honduras. With the left-wing Libre party, wish wishes to change the constitution to an anti-neolib and democratic socialist stance, at odds with the liberal and social conservative neoliberal bloc.Whilst this is happening, Trump has pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking offences whilst going off about how conveniently the whole Venezuelan military high command is full of alleged drug traffickers.

The structure of civil war and what emerges from it
Revolution almost always requires a brutal civil war so that a new society emerges from it. But the ideal of a new society never emerges immadietly after. We see it with the french revolution, and then the russian revolution. The american revolution seems like an exemption from this. Why is that?

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

"Stopping production was agreed," he said. "But it was also agreed that there would be a plan for the site, guaranteeing employment for all who work there. And that just hasn't happened."

Young people hardest hit as unemployment rises to 5.1%

‘No water, no life’: Iraq’s Tigris River in danger of disappearing
The river has also dramatically shrunk in volume. In the past 30 years, Turkey has built major dams on the Tigris and the amount of water reaching Baghdad has decreased by 33%. Iran too has built dams and diverted water away from shared rivers that feed the Tigris. Within Iraq, water is frequently overused, especially in the agricultural sector that uses at least 85% of the country’s surface water. The climate crisis is taking a toll. Iraq has recorded a 30%decline in precipitation and is in the grip of its worst drought in nearly a century.

South Africa coal exports to Israel soar amid Columbia ban
South Africa’s condemnation of Israel has not stopped miners in the country from boosting exports. South Africa's share of Israel's seaborne coal market is set to more than triple from 2024 levels to 55 percent, Kpler data showed. South Africa is not the only country sending energy supplies to Israel, even as it condemns it. Twenty-five countries supplied Israel with crude oil and refined petroleum throughout its genocide in Gaza, a report by Oil Change International found in November.

Zaheerul Hassan Shah, a leader of the outlawed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan, was arrested last year after a video circulated on social media showing him offering 10 million rupees ($36,000) to anyone who beheaded then-Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa. Isa had faced criticism from hardline religious groups last year after he granted bail to a man from the minority Ahmadi community in a blasphemy case.

I feel like MLs like throwing this word around a lot but never give clear defintions.
Why do statists think it's okay for the state to commit mass violence daily, but when a indiviual commits violence against that apparatus somehow they are "adventurist" or in the wrong, like do you seriously expect the ruling class to just give up?
Even if the attacks further oppresion temporarily wouldn't that still make the social conditions for revolutions to increase? Even if it takes decades as it did in Russia.

I say you can trace how consistent he is with most of his works on the subject of socialism in Russia alone, but he makes the case himself. He was a cowardly neurotic who couldn't sit through meetings and sided with Stalin to protect his little fiefdom.

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

The spread of these ideologies is linked to changes within the working class itself, particularly the growth of new strata of wage labor that rely increasingly on intellectual and creative capacities. These groups often lack collective experience, class consciousness, and organizational skills. Capitalist forces seek to keep them fragmented and individualized, preventing their transformation from a “class in itself” into a “class for itself.” Within this context, individuals are increasingly defined as bearers of marketable skills rather than as social beings. Alienation, consumerism, and narcissistic culture promote artificial needs and fragmented identities, encouraging a proliferation of individualized “rights” detached from collective and class interests.
Lifestyle, consumption patterns, and self-presentation become part of the commodification of the self. The obsessive pursuit of extreme self-definition—especially through fluid gender and sexual identities—is presented as liberation but instead leads to endless dissatisfaction, loss of meaning, and intensified alienation. Sexuality, detached from its biological, emotional, social, and cultural dimensions, becomes fetishized and instrumentalized, reflecting the broader emptiness produced by capitalist social relations.
Foucauldian micro-power theories and postmodern claims that gender and identity are arbitrary social constructions are the basis. Such approaches elevate particularity while rejecting universality, collectivity, and class-based subjectivity. Methodologically, they oscillate between biological determinism and sociological reductionism, both rooted in a metaphysical, anti-dialectical understanding of humanity that blocks scientific analysis of social laws and historical development.
These ideologies are not merely academic but are actively enforced through state and supranational institutions, international organizations, NGOs, and media networks. The same forces responsible for wars, exploitation, and social devastation promote gender and identity policies, fund academic programs and activism, and normalize practices such as commercial surrogacy. Such policies represent new forms of bodily exploitation and, particularly regarding children, constitute grave crimes.
This strategy serves an aggressive objective of global capital: the dissolution of collective bonds and even the biological foundations of human continuity, in order to preempt the formation of revolutionary subjects. Popular instinctive rejection of these developments reflects a healthy response to systemic decay, but without a scientific and organized progressive alternative, this reaction can be exploited by reactionary or fascist forces.
The communist strategic goal is a society where the full development of every personality is a condition for social development itself. Rights struggles are meaningful only insofar as they are organically linked to this goal and to the collective abolition of exploitation, oppression, and discrimination.
However,
“Everything that is human in the human being—that is, precisely what distinguishes them from animals—is 100% (not 90% or even 99%) the result of the social development of human society, and every individual capacity is an individually exercised function of the social, not the biological, organism, even though it is carried out by the natural, biologically innate organs of the human body—in this case, the brain.” (Ilyenkov)
While it is necessary to contribute in a comprehensive way to the critique of postmodern ideology, the excessive emphasis placed on it underestimates the persistent and intensifying dominance of traditional bourgeois ideology around gender (“fatherland–religion–family”). This is more deeply connected to the political weakness and/or unwillingness to rally LGBT workers in a revolutionary direction.
The problem, therefore, is not limited to the weighing of ideological currents, but concerns the problematic state of our intervention in the gender question and its theoretical foundations. We correctly identified the philosophical roots of the issue. However, theoretical questions cannot be detached from their political and movement-related consequences. In this context, a related but distinct question arises: on what terms is the confrontation with postmodernism conducted? These terms cannot be reduced to mechanistic materialism, nor exhausted by proclamations of “objective reality.” However radical such positions may appear today, the demands are higher. Only dialectical materialism is consistent materialism.
Human survival and development rest on the metabolism between social humanity and nature through labor, which is not merely a technical act but a social relation and the basis of consciousness; by changing nature, human beings change themselves. Marxism rejects biological reductionism and mechanistic materialism, recognizing that human capacities, consciousness, and identity are products of socio-historical development, with a material biological basis, within specific social relations. They are not reducible to lower forms of the motion of matter. This is the content of Marx’s critique of earlier materialism, including Feuerbach, when he pointed out that it failed to grasp reality also as human material activity, as practice, subjectively.
On the basis of contemporary scientific data, the complexity of the biology of sex, the existence of intersex conditions, and the “plasticity” of neurological (the unity of brain development with cultural, familial, etc. environments), hormonal, and bodily characteristics come to light—facts that refute simplistic biologism. Ultimately, only the dialectical-materialist methodology grasps these phenomena as contradictory expressions of a single, dynamic reality and provides a foundation for a consistent politics of emancipation, in contrast to the postmodern reduction of self-determination to a verbal act.
The species Homo sapiens was constituted through biological preconditions marking the transition from the herd to society, while the regulation of reproduction through exogamous kinship ties and the use of tools laid the foundations of the specifically social form of the motion of matter. Engels, in The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, documents the existence of the pre-class primitive communal system and links the emergence of surplus product, classes, and the state to the “world-historic defeat of the female sex”—a thesis generally confirmed by contemporary anthropology, though specific historical details concerning the allegedly “natural” gendered division of labor require revision. The monogamous family, as the economic unit of class society, became the basis of the gendered division of labor, the chief perpetrator of the double oppression of women and LGBT people for the benefit of the ruling classes.
The oppression of women and LGBT workers is not a legal anomaly but a structural element of capitalism. The EU and bourgeois states promote formal equality and women’s “rights” as mechanisms of flexible labor, while maintaining wage inequalities and structures of patriarchal dependence, since the need for the nuclear family for the reproduction and disciplining of labor power—and, by extension, the criminalization of non-normative sexuality—is deeply rooted in the history of capital. Despite official proclamations, data show systematic discrimination against LGBT workers, particularly trans people, while legal equality conceals material oppression. The bourgeois state continues to exploit patriarchal notions to divide and exploit the working class. These lead even to murderous violence. The management of AIDS/HIV by bourgeois states was also murderous. Genuine emancipation presupposes the overthrow of capitalist relations of production.
Historically, the emancipation of women and LGBT people is linked to class struggle, while opportunist degeneration and eventual incorporation into individual rights discourse reflect weaknesses within the communist movement itself—despite evidence that socialism can abolish the material basis of this oppression (the October Revolution, the GDR, and Czechoslovakia).
The oppression of women and LGBT workers is not a matter of “attitudes,” but a product of exploitative relations of production and the bourgeois family and ideological framework. The bourgeois notion of “self-determination” and individual rights appears as a semblance of freedom that conceals wage slavery and deeper social inequality. We must not cede this concept to our enemies. On the contrary, real bodily self-determination and equality can exist only through collective emancipation.
Ideological confrontation with bourgeois philosophy is insufficient without practical struggle for the emancipation of LGBT workers. Denouncing marriage as an institution is a necessary starting point, but it is not enough when it entails tangible economic and social security benefits. The contemporary revolutionary Program constitutes the only consistent basis for a strategic confrontation with state institutions, revealing that bourgeois laws do not aim at substantive equality but at the commodification of reproduction, adoption, and the female body, and at ideological incorporation. A revolutionary policy must combine a comprehensive anti-capitalist proposal to detach the family from economic coercion with concrete measures facilitating the lives of the oppressed. This expresses a central task for communists today: overcoming the contradiction between the formally and the substantively revolutionary character of our work, as theoretical shortcomings lead to tactics that neither serve the interests of LGBT workers nor strengthen their rallying and the unity of the movement.
For the revolutionary Program to enter the lives of the oppressed, certain backward views must be overcome. A child’s development is independent of the parents’ sexuality: relatively so, since it is not responsible for homophobia or the deficiencies of the bourgeois state; absolutely so, since personality formation is determined by the mode of production, social relations, and participation in class struggle. Motherhood and fatherhood have social content, which is transformed under socialism, as illustrated by Gorky’s Mother, who felt all the children of the Soviet people to be her own.
Ultimately, under the rainbow of imperialism, LGBT workers fight “under a foreign flag.” The true symbol of the emancipation of all humanity is the red banner, which sooner or later will fly again. Thus, LGBT workers can find their freedom only in common struggle with the revolutionary workers’ movement.
identity opportunism vs chauvinism
Bourgeois ideology, strongly influences social consciousness by reframing complex social problems—such as violence against women, gender, racism, and identity—through the narrow lens of individual rights. This ideological framework obscures the social and class roots of oppression and therefore must be confronted theoretically and politically. The task is to critically examine the social and economic conditions that give rise to these ideas, their anti-scientific and irrational character, their institutional enforcement, their strategic role for the capitalist system, and the necessity of their systematic, evidence-based opposition.The spread of these ideologies is linked to changes within the working class itself, particularly the growth of new strata of wage labor that rely increasingly on intellectual and creative capacities. These groups often lack collective experience, class consciousness, and organizational skills. Capitalist forces seek to keep them fragmented and individualized, preventing their transformation from a “class in itself” into a “class for itself.” Within this context, individuals are increasingly defined as bearers of marketable skills rather than as social beings. Alienation, consumerism, and narcissistic culture promote artificial needs and fragmented identities, encouraging a proliferation of individualized “rights” detached from collective and class interests.
Lifestyle, consumption patterns, and self-presentation become part of the commodification of the self. The obsessive pursuit of extreme self-definition—especially through fluid gender and sexual identities—is presented as liberation but instead leads to endless dissatisfaction, loss of meaning, and intensified alienation. Sexuality, detached from its biological, emotional, social, and cultural dimensions, becomes fetishized and instrumentalized, reflecting the broader emptiness produced by capitalist social relations.
Foucauldian micro-power theories and postmodern claims that gender and identity are arbitrary social constructions are the basis. Such approaches elevate particularity while rejecting universality, collectivity, and class-based subjectivity. Methodologically, they oscillate between biological determinism and sociological reductionism, both rooted in a metaphysical, anti-dialectical understanding of humanity that blocks scientific analysis of social laws and historical development.
These ideologies are not merely academic but are actively enforced through state and supranational institutions, international organizations, NGOs, and media networks. The same forces responsible for wars, exploitation, and social devastation promote gender and identity policies, fund academic programs and activism, and normalize practices such as commercial surrogacy. Such policies represent new forms of bodily exploitation and, particularly regarding children, constitute grave crimes.
This strategy serves an aggressive objective of global capital: the dissolution of collective bonds and even the biological foundations of human continuity, in order to preempt the formation of revolutionary subjects. Popular instinctive rejection of these developments reflects a healthy response to systemic decay, but without a scientific and organized progressive alternative, this reaction can be exploited by reactionary or fascist forces.
The communist strategic goal is a society where the full development of every personality is a condition for social development itself. Rights struggles are meaningful only insofar as they are organically linked to this goal and to the collective abolition of exploitation, oppression, and discrimination.
However,
“Everything that is human in the human being—that is, precisely what distinguishes them from animals—is 100% (not 90% or even 99%) the result of the social development of human society, and every individual capacity is an individually exercised function of the social, not the biological, organism, even though it is carried out by the natural, biologically innate organs of the human body—in this case, the brain.” (Ilyenkov)

Does American culture have to go?
Basically, the more I speak to burgers on sites like threads, average burgers, I start to realize pretty much all American culture is anti-communist pro-capitalist, pro-empire propaganda. Like, all of it, every single bit of it. I realized at least all social media has to be abolished, like obviously, but then you look at all american songs, stories, films, games; every single one of them are either overt propaganda for capitalism, against communism, and for empire; or they reproduce ways of thinking beneficial to the empire, even love songs encourage a bourgeois outlook on relationships and love, most kids shows prime children in chauvinistic and bourgeois modes of thought, even most of American english consists of just repeating capitalist propaganda back and forth between individuals

The U$ is a Prison house of Nations,
The U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American populations 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 (The ICE raids in Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo communities throughout the U$, and Trumps deployment of the National Guard to Black/New African and Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo neighborhoods in Los Angelas, DC, and Memphis, has essentially made this a De Jure reality), as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists (U$ Communists must give up on the Quixotic Bourgeois Electoralist Tailist Chauvinist effort to desperately appeal to the Ultra-Reactionary White Settler Labor Aristocracy) as stipulated by the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination for 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 , which will happen after either the Global Nuclear War Shining Path to Communism that will occur if Trump uses the Insurrection act to declare Martial Law and permanently suspend Liberal Bourgeois Democracy and inevitably launch World War III against China that will escalate into a Global Nuclear War which completely destroys the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allows for a World Maoist PPW (in both the Periphery/Semi-Periphery where Maoist PPW is already viable in the Material Conditions, as proven by the ongoing Maoist PPWs in India, the Philippines, Turkey, and Peru, and in the Imperial Core, where Maoist PPW wont be viable in the Material Conditions until World War III breaks out and/or Liberal Bourgeois Democracy is permanently suspended, with these two events being related and probably happening around the same time), or the Social Democratic/UBI/4th Industrial Revolution/AI/Multipolar Shining Path to Communism that will occur if Trump dose not permanently suspend Liberal Bourgeois Democracy and a Left-Liberal Democrat like Newsom/AOC wins the 2028 U$ Presidential Election, which will have a Social Democratic Imperial Core where UBI allows for Income to be divorced from employment while the 4th Industrial Revolution Automates most of the workforce combined with the Hyper-Rationalization of the Superstructure through the legalization of all Victimless Crimes like Abortion, Birth Control, Pornography, Sex Work/Prostitution, LGBTQIA+, Drug use, Gun ownership, etc. and a Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy that accepts Multipolarity, unites with a Maoist Periphery/Semi-Periphery, where Maoist PPWs swept away all Bourgeois Comprador and Imperialist governments after the 4th Industrial Revolution Automated Global Supply Chains and Reshored them back to the Imperial Core and the Green Energy Revolution shut down all Oil/Gas production worldwide, thus collapsing the economies of all Sweatshop countries and Petrostates, that will both 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 English-speaking 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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

It’s all hopium for losers who can’t deal with the present. Instead of doing anything meaningful, they sit in their digital basements praying for a future that never comes. Every post is just another round of "just wait, you’ll see," while the rest of the world keeps living, laughing, and leaving them behind.
The truth? Nothing’s coming. No savior, no reckoning, no mass awakening, no shift in opinions. It’s just endless cope for people too powerless to face reality. The only thing in their future is more disappointment and deep down, they know it.
Every 4chan cope boils down to the same tired fantasy:
something *good* is always just over the horizon. Alien disclosure is coming to earth, Hitler 2.0 rising from the ashes, Jesus descending to smite their enemies, Trump and the globohomo awakening in two weeks, mass genocide solving all their problems, or the magical day when everyone suddenly agrees with their garbage takes.It’s all hopium for losers who can’t deal with the present.

"Deflation bad" and "100% employment bad" are HUGE porky copes that should be attacked relentlessly. I suspect some of you will argue to the contrary, and suggest, just as porky does, that deflation is actually bad.
DEFLATION LE BAD
Porky pretends deflation is le bad but it's only bad by porky logic. Prices going down is good. Yes, including the price of labor power, which Marx shows is the price of keeping the worker alive, sheltered, and capable of reproducing and raising a child, since Capitalism depends on the working class surviving and reproducing itself. Porky hates deflation and wants "price stability" instead. This is why you see all the porkies getting angry at Chinese deflation. Porkies also get mad at the idea of full unemployment as outlined here: >>2563763"Deflation bad" and "100% employment bad" are HUGE porky copes that should be attacked relentlessly.

Egypt: Organi-linked armed groups looting, confiscating Gaza aid trucks in Sinai
The armed groups are reportedly stationed at several points on the international highway linking the Egyptian city of Sheikh Zuweid and Rafah in the war-battered Gaza Strip. The individuals stop trucks headed towards Gaza, whether carrying humanitarian relief or goods intended for Palestinian traders, meticulously looking for allegedly banned goods. Such items include cigarettes, mobile phones, certain types of medicines and medical supplies, among others.

Girls and women fleeing Mali describe sexual violence by Africa Corps forces
The girl was found critically ill in a makeshift clinic, suffering from an untreated infection following a sexual assault. Her family said Russian fighters had burst into their tent, forced everyone outside at gunpoint, beheaded the girl’s uncle and raped her inside. “We were so scared that we were not even able to scream anymore,” her aunt said. The family fled the next day after al-Qaida-affiliated JNIM militants ordered them to leave, travelling for three days before reaching Mauritania, where the girl collapsed.

South Sudan army moves into Heglig after ‘tripartite deal’
South Sudanese troops have entered the Heglig oil field in West Kordofan after an agreement with Sudan’s warring parties. The field processes some 130,000 barrels of South Sudanese crude for export via pipelines in Sudan. The South Sudanese army’s (SSPDF) chief of staff, Paul Nang, gave an address from the Heglig oil field saying the force entered the area under a “tripartite agreement” between South Sudanese President Salva Kiir, Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) leader Abdelfattah El Burhan, and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (SAF) commander Mohamed ‘Hemedti’ Dagalo.

Ukraine's Zelenskiy drops NATO ambition as Berlin peace talks begin
The move marks a major shift for Ukraine, which has fought to join NATO as a safeguard against Russian attacks and has such an aspiration included in its constitution. It also meets one of Russia's war aims, although Kyiv has so far held firm against ceding territory to Moscow. Zelenskiy met the U.S. envoys at talks hosted by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who a source said had made brief remarks before leaving the two sides to negotiate. Other European leaders are also due in Germany for talks on Monday.

Chileans head to polls in presidential run-off
The contest pitted far-right candidate Jose Antonio Kast of the Republican Party against Jeannette Jara, the ruling coalition’s nominee from the Communist Party. Ms Jara topped the first round in November with 26.85 per cent, while Mr Kast finished second on 23.92 per cent after consolidating support from other right-wing candidates. Analysts projected that backing could push him past the 50 per cent threshold needed to win.

How are we supposed to do anything useful if the working class is more divided than ever?

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

The capitalist class will totally betray humanity.
Their biggest wish was always to have slaves, robots, subservient entities that do all the work while they take all the profits. They salivate at the thought of finally severing their dependence on human workers, because to them we're volatile, expensive, prone to illness, and there's too much bad blood accrued between us during centuries of class war, meaning our very existence threatens them! Once their dependence on us is severed, we are fair game. Like a parasite latching onto a new host, they will care little for the fate of the old host. In fact, their logical course of action will be to erase future risks by neutralizing their old host for good - this is likely the first task of the new host (the robots/AI). Capitalism, as a predatory system par excellence, has now culminated in creating monsters who are finally twisted enough to want to terminate their own entire species in the pursuit of capitalism's ultimate reward - being the last guy standing atop a mountain of skulls.

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

The outrage toward AI is highly selective. People claim it “steals,” as if corporations haven’t been extracting labour, culture, and data for decades. They claim AI is destroying the environment — meanwhile, online video streaming accounts for the majority of global internet traffic and emits far more CO₂ than AI use does today. According to The Shift Project, an hour of streaming produces roughly 55 g of CO₂, and a typical Netflix user emits around 17 kg of CO₂ every month. Pornography alone occupies a huge portion of global bandwidth. Yet no one demands the abolition of streaming; our habits and pleasures are completely normalised.
Before attacking AI, remember that streaming culture is part of the spectacle of late capitalism: endless passive entertainment that keeps people distracted while the system churns on. People fixate on AI because it is new and unfamiliar — not because it is the true driver of ecological or social harm.
What is never discussed is the role AI could play outside capitalism. Under a rationally organised, democratically planned socialist economy, AI could become an instrument of genuine human emancipation. AI could eliminate monotonous labour, optimise resource allocation, reduce systemic waste, plan production in real time, expand access to education and culture, and coordinate complex systems on a scale no bureaucracy could ever achieve. Instead of reinforcing exploitation, AI could free people from it — shortening the working day, expanding leisure, and allowing individuals to participate meaningfully in cultural and intellectual life.
In other words: AI is not inherently exploitative. It simply reflects the system into which it is born. Under capitalism, it becomes another tool for profit extraction. Under socialism, it becomes a tool for human development. The question is not whether AI should be used, but who controls it — capital or society.
AI Will Be Used to Build Socialism
The debate over whether AI is “ethical” is mired in petit-bourgeois moralism. Technology itself doesn’t create suffering — capitalism does. The real question isn’t whether AI should exist, but how it can be used for human benefit instead of private profit.The outrage toward AI is highly selective.

Employment holds steady in Latin America and the Caribbean, but informality and inequality persist
Informality remains a defining feature of the region's labour landscape. While it declined slightly to 46.7 per cent in the first half of 2025, nearly one in every two employed persons still works under informal conditions.

Bangladesh’s BNP seeks Hasina’s liberal mantle before elections
Addressing party supporters this week, BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rehman invoked the blood-soaked memory of Bangladesh’s 1971 Liberation War against Pakistan, saying “people saw” what happened then. He did not name the Jamaat, but the reference was clearly understood across Bangladesh: The Jamaat had opposed Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan. He also accused the Jamaat of misusing religion to seek votes.

Socialism AI will expand and accelerate the education of workers, student youth, progressive intellectuals and artists on the basis of the world scientific outlook of Marxism. It will prepare them for the irrepressible escalation of the international class conflict.
For the ruling class, AI’s role creates new means of intensifying exploitation, displacing labor and increasing profits.
But, paradoxically, AI technology also makes possible an unprecedented expansion of knowledge and social consciousness.
Technology does not lead automatically to the improvement of the human condition. Without politically conscious mass action, guided by scientific Marxist theory, technological advances under capitalism intensify the exploitation of the working class and threaten the destruction of the planet.
Therefore, the problem of bringing into proper alignment the development of technology and the interests of the working class must be solved. The socialist movement must make use of the most advanced tools available for the education and unification of the working class.
That is the significance of Socialism AI, which will gather, clarify and make accessible the theoretical, historical and political experience of more than 150 years of the Marxist movement, above all, the heritage defended by the Fourth International.
Its aim is not to substitute technology for politics, or algorithms for revolutionary leadership. On the contrary, it is to assist the development of consciousness by overcoming the barriers of distance, language, specialization and time. A worker in Detroit, a student in São Paulo, a nurse in Johannesburg, a young intellectual in Mumbai will pose questions about theory, history, economics, philosophy and politics—and receive answers grounded not in the lies of the ruling class but in the scientific method of historical materialism and in the accumulated strategic experience of the international working class.
The experiences of exploitation, war and crisis can radicalize millions, but without a conscious, historically informed perspective, they can also produce confusion, disorientation and despair. The working class requires a memory of its own struggle, a theory that explains its position in society and a program that links immediate demands to the conquest of power.
Only a Marxist party can provide this. Socialism AI will be a powerful weapon in the struggle against capitalism, a 21st century interactive encyclopedia of socialism, continuously enriched and corrected through the practice of the revolutionary movement itself and the participation of its readers.
At this point, objections may be raised: “But is not AI itself dangerous? Can it not be used for surveillance, for manipulation, for censorship, for the perfection of dictatorship?”
Of course, it can. That is already happening. But this is neither new nor unique to AI. Every great technological advance in history has been double-edged. The printing press was used to publish both revolutionary tracts during the Reformation and reactionary sermons and papal bulls. The telegraph and railway networks served the needs of capital and empire, but they also knit together the national working classes and made possible coordinated action on a scale that had never previously existed. Radio and cinema became instruments of fascist propaganda—but at the same time powerful means of artistic and political education.
It is necessary to address a widespread source of ideological confusion: the designation of AI as “artificial intelligence.” The term has been repeated so incessantly—and with so little precision—that it obscures more than it clarifies. It creates the impression of something mystical, autonomous, somehow divorced from human thought, and therefore either wondrously omnipotent or terrifyingly alien.
The phrase “artificial intelligence” suggests that we stand in the presence of a kind of counterfeit or ersatz intelligence. Yet we do not speak this way about any other technological extension of human capacity.
We do not call a forklift or a hydraulic press an “artificial muscle,” though it multiplies human physical power many thousands of times. We do not describe riding a bicycle, driving a car or boarding a jetliner as “artificial running” or “artificial flight.”
Modern telescopes no longer rely solely on visible light but detect invisible electromagnetic radiation—radio, infrared, X-ray and gamma—thereby vastly extending the sensory powers of humanity.
These technologies amplify human capability; they do not replace its essence.
Why, then, this insistence on labeling computational systems as “artificial intelligence”? The term is not scientifically neutral. It mystifies technology by implying that intelligence can be somehow fabricated in isolation from human intellectual labor, as if it were an autonomous substance that can be synthesized like a chemical compound.
This is not merely inaccurate; it is ideologically useful to the ruling class. It encourages passivity. It encourages awe. And it encourages the belief that the technology exists above and beyond social control.
In reality, what is called “AI” is better understood as augmented intelligence—an extension and amplification of human intellectual labor. Its foundations lie in centuries of accumulated human practice and knowledge: logic, mathematics, linguistics, engineering, computer science, and the collective experience of billions of people using and generating language, images and data. The algorithms do not invent meaning; they learn from vast human-generated corpora. Their architecture is designed by human engineers; their parameters are shaped and refined by human intervention; their failures reveal the limits of human training, not the existence of some alien mind.
The intelligence is not artificial; the automation is. What AI systems automate are operations—classification, search, retrieval, pattern recognition, language prediction—that previously required specific forms of human labor.
The term “augmented intelligence” emphasizes not a break with humanity but a deep continuity. It recognizes that these systems are built on human labor and knowledge, shaped by human purpose and deployed to amplify human capabilities. And most importantly, it clarifies the essential social and political issues at stake.
If AI is an augmentation of human intelligence, then the question is not what “it” will do, but who controls it, in whose interests it is developed and for what social ends it is used.
In the hands of the capitalist oligarchy, AI is being deployed to intensify exploitation, expand surveillance, manipulate populations and wage war. But this does not arise from any inherent malevolence in the technology itself. It arises from the imperatives of profit, competition, militarism and private capitalist ownership.
To fear “AI” as an autonomous threat is to misidentify the problem. The danger does not lie in the machine but in the class that wields that machine.
The intellectuals and artists who fear that AI will smother individual creativity, and who oppose this technology as a threat to “intellectual property,” not only accept uncritically the bourgeois commodification of science and art but also fail to recognize that their work, so essential for human progress, can be defended only through the social struggle against all forms of capitalist property.
AI does not depersonalize “intellectual” labor in some narrow sense. It is the outcome of the entire historical evolution of human labor and culture—of the process, described by Marx, in which humanity opposes itself to nature as one of nature’s own forces. This historical activity is the basis of the development of human consciousness. As Marx explained: “The forming of the five senses is a labor of the entire history of the world down to the present.”
AI is a product of the human mind as it has been formed by millennia of physical and intellectual labor. It embodies the human capacity to analyze, abstract, symbolize and model the world. Controlled democratically—subordinated to social need rather than private accumulation—it will become one of the most powerful instruments for human emancipation ever created. It will reduce the burden of labor, shorten the working day, expand access to education and allow billions to participate in cultural and scientific life at levels previously unimaginable.
And, as it is increasingly integrated into the work of artists, it will provide a powerful new impulse for the cognition of the world and the vast range of human experience and emotion.
Socialism AI
On Friday, December 12, 2025, the World Socialist Web Site, the online publication of the International Committee of the Fourth International, will launch Socialism AI, a chatbot that will use the power of amplified human cognition to advance the development of socialist consciousness in the international working class.Socialism AI will expand and accelerate the education of workers, student youth, progressive intellectuals and artists on the basis of the world scientific outlook of Marxism. It will prepare them for the irrepressible escalation of the international class conflict.

Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has insisted that the labour reforms, with more than 100 measures, were intended to “stimulate economic growth and pay better salaries”. But the communist-leaning General Confederation of the Portuguese Worker (CGTP) and more moderate General Union of Workers (UGT) have lambasted the plans. The CGTP organised about 20 demonstrations across the country. Its secretary-general, Tiago Oliveira, called the reforms “among the biggest attacks on the world of work”.

Britain threatened to defund ICC over Netanyahu arrest warrant, claims prosecutor
Khan does not name the individual who made the threats, saying the call on 23 April 2024 was with a British official, but reports have suggested the caller may have been the then British foreign secretary, David Cameron. Khan said the official had argued that issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli defence minister, was disproportionate.

Lammy refuses to meet MPs worried about constituents on hunger strike in prison
Five hunger strikers have been taken to hospital. Their lawyers warned of a “real and increasingly likely potential” their clients will die in prison on Tuesday. In his letter, Mr Corbyn said that he would seek assurances from Mr Lammy that he would take steps to protect the political prisoners’ rights. The detainees have all been charged with offences relating to alleged break-ins or criminal damage on behalf of Palestine Action, charges that are denied, before the group was banned under terrorism legislation.

France Unbowed 'has become a target' of the UAE, Melenchon says
“LFI has become a target of the Emirates,” he wrote on his blog on Tuesday, shortly after his party, the largest left-wing group in parliament, filed a complaint to the public prosecutor regarding a highly controversial poll on Muslims in France, suggesting it could be part of an Emirati “influence operation” in the country. The survey, which suggests that there is “a phenomenon of 're-Islamisation'" in France "accompanied by a worrying increase in adherence to Islamist ideology”, has been the subject of several legal complaints from Muslim organisations, who accused it of being “based on biased questions” to spread “the poison of hatred in the public sphere”.

Argentina's Milei submits labor reform proposal to Congress
The proposed labor bill will seek to give employers more flexibility on working hours and vacations, as well as modify the system of severance pay in order to reduce costs for companies. It also provides financial incentives for employers to hire workers on-the-books and allows salaries to be paid in foreign currencies. Unions have strongly opposed the bill, which also states that unions must receive authorization from employers to hold assemblies in the workplace and characterizes a union takeover or obstruction of entry to a workspace as a "very grave" infraction.

Indian farmers protest new seed bill, calling it a threat to the country’s sovereignty
The proposed bill will establish MNC control over the supply of seeds, ending the existing arrangement, which provides greater flexibility to the farmers to source the required seeds from local or public sectors. The control of MNCs will endanger indigenous varieties, public institutions, and traditional/informal seed networks and “bring disaster for sustenance farming in India,” claims SKM in a statement. The bill will leave the crop cycle in India at the mercy of the MNCs.

Five hunger strikers have been taken to hospital. Their lawyers warned of a “real and increasingly likely potential” their clients will die in prison on Tuesday. In his letter, Mr Corbyn said that he would seek assurances from Mr Lammy that he would take steps to protect the political prisoners’ rights. The detainees have all been charged with offences relating to alleged break-ins or criminal damage on behalf of Palestine Action, charges that are denied, before the group was banned under terrorism legislation.

France Unbowed 'has become a target' of the UAE, Melenchon says
“LFI has become a target of the Emirates,” he wrote on his blog on Tuesday, shortly after his party, the largest left-wing group in parliament, filed a complaint to the public prosecutor regarding a highly controversial poll on Muslims in France, suggesting it could be part of an Emirati “influence operation” in the country. The survey, which suggests that there is “a phenomenon of 're-Islamisation'" in France "accompanied by a worrying increase in adherence to Islamist ideology”, has been the subject of several legal complaints from Muslim organisations, who accused it of being “based on biased questions” to spread “the poison of hatred in the public sphere”.

Argentina's Milei submits labor reform proposal to Congress
The proposed labor bill will seek to give employers more flexibility on working hours and vacations, as well as modify the system of severance pay in order to reduce costs for companies. It also provides financial incentives for employers to hire workers on-the-books and allows salaries to be paid in foreign currencies. Unions have strongly opposed the bill, which also states that unions must receive authorization from employers to hold assemblies in the workplace and characterizes a union takeover or obstruction of entry to a workspace as a "very grave" infraction.

Indian farmers protest new seed bill, calling it a threat to the country’s sovereignty
The proposed bill will establish MNC control over the supply of seeds, ending the existing arrangement, which provides greater flexibility to the farmers to source the required seeds from local or public sectors. The control of MNCs will endanger indigenous varieties, public institutions, and traditional/informal seed networks and “bring disaster for sustenance farming in India,” claims SKM in a statement. The bill will leave the crop cycle in India at the mercy of the MNCs.

Bangladesh president, feeling 'humiliated', wants to step down halfway through term
He later said that despite his personal desire to resign, he would let the next government decide his future. “If they tell me they plan to choose their own president, I will step aside,” he said late on Thursday. Opinion polls suggest the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of former prime minister Khaleda Zia and the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami will be the frontrunners to form the next government. They were part of a coalition that ruled between 2001 and 2006.

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

Other parts of the simplification plan include repealing a hazardous chemical database that lists “substances of concern in products”; removing requirements on EU polluters to have authorised representatives in member states where they sell their products; and pushing the need for environmental management systems in farms and industry from the level of plants to that of companies.

South Korea's Lee calls for probe into links between religious group and politics
Some analysts have said, however, that Lee's comments appeared to be directed at the Unification Church, whose leader Han Hak-ja is currently on trial over allegations she bribed former first lady Kim Keon Hee in return for political favours. The case is part of a series of investigations by special prosecutors into ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol and Kim, his wife, in the wake of Yoon's martial law order in December 2024.

Starving Myanmar fighters join junta-linked group for money as ‘dirty reality’ bites
A 24-year-old fighter from Myanmar’s pro-democracy People’s Defence Force has said many of those who fight alongside him have switched sides at times in the long-running civil war, with a lack of financial compensation forcing them to temporarily side with a junta-aligned armed group.

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

People give him shit because it all collapsed after he died, but then they'll go and act like the USSR was so much better when it collapsed around the very same time. Tito objectively did things wrong, but the USSR did too. Both got ratfucked by the US in the end.
Your toughts on Tito?
Always thought he was underrated. And this quote is great whether he said it or not.People give him shit because it all collapsed after he died, but then they'll go and act like the USSR was so much better when it collapsed around the very same time. Tito objectively did things wrong, but the USSR did too. Both got ratfucked by the US in the end.

When Will The Nuclear Bombs Go All Out?
I truly want the nukes to drop and the whole world to collapse. When do you guys think it will happen? The happiness of the world is diminishing, the death stage of the civilizational life cycle is encroaching toward imminence.
