Honestly I wonder why don't we actively encourage people to go to prison and just tell them prisons are good? It is true for a lot of places. And we can flood the prisons to a point where most of the population is imprisoned. The country with the highest prison population is none other than the U.S.A. with over 1,8 million prisioners. Thats more prisioners than a lot of countries' populations.
Prisons are like micro-nations
Prisons have always fascinated me. They have thier own culture, their own laws, their own food, their own factions, their own politics, their own commodities even, yes, for example there are drugs that are harder to find on the outside than in certain prisons.Honestly I wonder why don't we actively encourage people to go to prison and just tell them prisons are good?

Before getting into "Free Will," there is no good evidence that human beings possess an immaterial “soul” that thinks, chooses, or survives bodily death. All available evidence indicates that what we have hitherto called a “person,” is an activity of a living brain in a living body. Mental states reliably track brain states; damage the brain and you damage memory, personality, judgment, and agency; destroy it entirely and the person disappears. No additional essence remains.
Human brains are biological systems governed by physical law. They are extraordinarily complex, adaptive, and self-modeling, which produces the powerful subjective experience and outward appearnce of "authorship" and "choice," but nothing in neuroscience suggests that brains initiate actions independently of prior physical causes. Also, introducing indeterminism or randomness does not rescue “free will” in the libertarian sense, since randomness adds noise, rather than control.
The popular notion of "Free Will" as an uncaused, self-originating power of the "soul" or of the brain, in more secular accounts of "Free Will," is therefore unsupported. What exists instead are constrained decision-making processes embedded in biology, development, and environment. Responsibility is not metaphysical; it is a social practice invented and enforced by humans to shape behavior while brains are still alive and responsive to incentives.
There is no evidence that accountability survives death. When the brain permanently ceases to function, the person is gone. What remains is matter, not an observing subject.
These conclusions are not radical inventions of modern science. The dependence of mind on the condition of the brain has been observable since antiquity through injury, disease, and degeneration, and has been progressively clarified by advances in biology, chemistry, and physics. What is new is not the insight itself, but the precision.
Resistance to these conclusions is understandable. They undermine comforting narratives of cosmic justice, personal exceptionality, and ultimate moral reckoning. Many cultures have developed religious and metaphysical systems that posit souls, absolute free will, and post-mortem reward or punishment. Whatever other functions these systems serve, they also operate as tools of behavioral regulation, offering meaning and order in exchange for compliance.
None of this "proves" that such metaphysical entities "cannot" exist, it merely establishes that we have no reason to believe they do, and that our best explanations of human behavior, morality, and identity do not require them. Nevertheless, those who make positive claims must provide evidence. If I propose ridiculous things without providing evidence, others are not obliged to "disprove" my claims, especially if they cannot be tested and/or concern alleged entities which exist beyond measurable matter and energy.
Against Free Will
I was told by someone on here that in order to be a Communist, I must "believe" in "Free Will." Somehow, I doubt this is truly a prerequisite, but if it really is the case, then so be it.Before getting into "Free Will," there is no good evidence that human beings possess an immaterial “soul” that thinks, chooses, or survives bodily death. All available evidence indicates that what we have hitherto called a “person,” is an activity of a living brain in a living body. Mental states reliably track brain states; damage the brain and you damage memory, personality, judgment, and agency; destroy it entirely and the person disappears. No additional essence remains.
Human brains are biological systems governed by physical law. They are extraordinarily complex, adaptive, and self-modeling, which produces the powerful subjective experience and outward appearnce of "authorship" and "choice," but nothing in neuroscience suggests that brains initiate actions independently of prior physical causes. Also, introducing indeterminism or randomness does not rescue “free will” in the libertarian sense, since randomness adds noise, rather than control.

Instead of wasting resources promoting independent revolutions throughout the world, the USSR should have committed to the much wiser project of russification and centralization. It should have expanded it's sphere of influence through direct military conquest and annexation. If they had unified Eurasia under a singular national project they would have become unstoppable. They should also have allowed for the existence of markets and free enterprise, but retained control over banking and finance in order to fully and completely subject these capitalist forces to the totalizing logic of the state's developmental project. This is why China succeeded where the USSR failed. This is also why China will become the undisputed hegemon of the next world order; it is inevitable.
NATIONALIST MARKET SOCIALISM IS THE ULTIMATE POLITICAL SYSTEM
The USSR failed as a political experiment exactly because of its internationalist nature and because it suppressed the market mechanisms necessary for the entrepreneurship that generates economic development and social well-being. The USSR fractured exactly because it existed as a coalition of distinct national identities instead of a fully centralized and stable nationalistic project. As a result it splintered into a multitude of weak and irrelevant countries primed for exploitation by the capitalist hegemon. This is why we now see two former communist nations fighting in Ukraine; because the foolishness of Lenin decades prior created an unnecessary national identity which the American intelligence apparatus preyed upon and directed against Russia.Instead of wasting resources promoting independent revolutions throughout the world, the USSR should have committed to the much wiser project of russification and centralization.

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.

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

Internationalist Voice (Iranian) analysis of the protests (Jan. 4-19):
>Leftists and the Mujahedin claim that monarchists are attempting to influence the protests in favour of “Reza Pahlavi”[7] by adding audio to video clips, or that this role is being played by the Islamic bourgeoisie itself, which is confident in the harmlessness of the monarchist opposition. In other words, they argue that the promotion of monarchist demands within the protests is either meaningless or marginal. This claim is partly correct, but it does not capture the full reality.
>First and foremost, it should be emphasised that the nature of a movement determines the extent to which it can be exploited or redirected. In an independent workers’ movement, this possibility is considerably low; however, in an “all-together” movement, the scope for reactionary forces to intervene is much greater. Within this framework, a serious question arises: can the statement issued by students at Isfahan University, in which it was asserted that “the 1979 revolution was a historical mistake,” be regarded merely as the result of external manipulation and interference?
>For leftists who, through demagoguery, consider students to be “working-class students,” it is as if students necessarily advance the demands of the working class in every protest. In reality, however, students are not inherently revolutionary; at times, they can play a counter-revolutionary role, and at other times, depending on objective conditions and their connection to the class struggle, they can assume a revolutionary role. To clarify this issue, two specific examples can be cited.
>The student protests of July 1999 arose in response to the closure of the reformist[8] newspaper Salam. These protests served the interests of the reformist faction of the Islamic bourgeoisie, and students became instruments in intra-governmental struggles. Nevertheless, the movement exacted a heavy toll, leaving many dead and injured, and profoundly altered the fate of some of the students.
>In contrast, in autumn 2018, following the widespread workers’ protests, students openly expressed solidarity with the workers’ struggles and placed class demands at the centre of their slogans. By chanting slogans such as “We are the children of workers; we stand with them,” they effectively became integrated into a segment of the workers’ class movement and played a role distinct from that of previous periods.
>When the working class emerges as an independent social class in the course of societal developments, the scope for manoeuvre of not only the right- and left-wing tendencies of capital but also ultra-reactionary bourgeois forces and adventurist elements is sharply reduced. This is because the independent presence of the proletariat exposes the real contradictions of capitalism and prevents protests from being redefined and co-opted within bourgeois, pro-democracy, or imperialist frameworks.
>A clear example of this situation can be seen in the workers’ protests of autumn 2018, a period during which media outlets such as the BBC, Voice of America, Radio Israel, and other bourgeois propaganda instruments were effectively sidelined and lost the ability to influence the protests. Under such conditions, bourgeois tendencies—particularly the hypocritical and liberal tendencies of the Western bourgeoisie—were compelled to be silenced, as the language, perspective, and demands of these protests could not serve their class interests.
>The shameful Islamic bourgeoisie has plunged into one of the deepest crises in its disgraceful history, and consolidating itself is not so easy. To demonstrate its power and to pretend it has a social base, the Islamic bourgeoisie issued a call for marches in all cities on 11 January. This call was an overt attempt to stir public sentiment and to draw people into a government-organised demonstration.
>On 11 January 2026, the state broadcaster aired a report from the Kahrizak forensic centre showing scenes of corpses in a large warehouse. The Islamic bourgeoisie claimed that these bodies belonged to individuals who had been harmed by “rioters” during the protests, but the main purpose was to stir public sentiment and garner support for the government. The report displayed photographs of the corpses and the names of the deceased on a screen, while grieving families were mourning and identifying their loved ones. Interestingly, these same images are circulated by Western media as victims of the Islamic bourgeoisie’s crimes. The state broadcaster also aired footage of government-supporting demonstrations, particularly in the cities of Ilam and Hamedan—areas where protests against the regime had been more widespread than elsewhere.
>The war between Iran and Israel is not the result of decisions made by warmongering leaders but it is the expression of the capitalist system today. Regardless of the political façade a state adopts—be it democratic or dictatorial, peace-seeking or openly militaristic—they all share one fundamental trait: sacrificing the working class as cannon fodder in imperialist wars. Without exception, they are all war criminals.

Recent reports from the streets by Worker-Communist Party of Iran (Hekmatist) translated from Farsi (Jan. 7-13)
>The Iranian people do not need a military attack by American bombers, nor do they need international criminals to intensify sanctions and attack their livelihoods for freedom, prosperity, and equality, to be free from the clutches of the Islamic Republic. Lifting sanctions, preventing a military attack on Iran, and cutting off the hands of international criminals from their lives and struggles is the demand of tens of millions of people in Iran and the demand of their freedom-seeking movement.
>After two weeks of protests in Iran and their spread to various cities, the Islamic Republic has taken extensive measures against the protesting people under the pretext and relying on Mossad’s claims of its interference. The Internet shutdown in Iran, the arrival of the army to confront the protesting people and the loss of a large number of protesters and deprived people, threats to government leaders from the Supreme Leader’s Office to the judiciary and widespread arrests, attacks on hospitals and house-to-house raids, and all-out propaganda by the state media and attributing the protests to the people’s rights to Mossad, introducing every protester as a Mossad spy and their agents, have created serious dangers.
>The Islamic Republic has in common with the fascist governments of Israel and America and their pawns in the opposition, pushing back this movement and blinding its radical and freedom-loving horizon. One is by ordering an “uprising” and turning the protests into street fighting and terrorizing it, and the other is by suppressing them under the pretext of Mossad’s interference and confronting it!
>To Communists: come to the streets to prevent the protests from turning into bloodshed and to ensure their progress!
>Marginal forces whose efforts to ride the wave of protests have failed and do not have the social power to divert mass protests have officially today set the policy of bloodletting in the protests to their agenda by launching mercenary and armed gangs against their opponents, declaring an armed uprising, and prematurely bringing weapons to the field in the protests. These forces, along with the apparatus of repression and the internal gangs of the Islamic Republic, are the ones who are responsible for bloodletting in the protests and the lives of the people.
>The Rajavi sect has issued an order for an armed uprising and the capture of military bases. It is as if the "rebel centers" of the Mujahideen are going to "liberate the cities and then hand them over to the local councils"!
>There is no doubt that this heavily armed regime will ultimately be overthrown in an armed uprising. There is no doubt that the people who rise up and protest have the right to use any means and weapons to defend themselves and defeat the enemy. But sending young people to war prematurely is deliberately taking them to the slaughterhouse and mass protests.
>The movement and uprising of the hungry is going its own way and, independent of the small and large insects of reaction, with vigilance and open eyes, it is organizing, uniting and nationwide its protest and struggle, protecting its activists and leaders, and building its own future. Ensuring this is the work of us communists, the work of radical and freedom-loving activists.

The report displayed photographs of the corpses and the names of the deceased on a screen, while grieving families were mourning and identifying their loved ones. Interestingly, these same images are circulated by Western media as victims of the Islamic bourgeoisie’s crimes. The state broadcaster also aired footage of government-supporting demonstrations, particularly in the cities of Ilam and Hamedan—areas where protests against the regime had been more widespread than elsewhere.
>The war between Iran and Israel is not the result of decisions made by warmongering leaders but it is the expression of the capitalist system today. Regardless of the political façade a state adopts—be it democratic or dictatorial, peace-seeking or openly militaristic—they all share one fundamental trait: sacrificing the working class as cannon fodder in imperialist wars. Without exception, they are all war criminals.

Recent reports from the streets by Worker-Communist Party of Iran (Hekmatist) translated from Farsi (Jan. 7-13)
>The Iranian people do not need a military attack by American bombers, nor do they need international criminals to intensify sanctions and attack their livelihoods for freedom, prosperity, and equality, to be free from the clutches of the Islamic Republic. Lifting sanctions, preventing a military attack on Iran, and cutting off the hands of international criminals from their lives and struggles is the demand of tens of millions of people in Iran and the demand of their freedom-seeking movement.
>After two weeks of protests in Iran and their spread to various cities, the Islamic Republic has taken extensive measures against the protesting people under the pretext and relying on Mossad’s claims of its interference. The Internet shutdown in Iran, the arrival of the army to confront the protesting people and the loss of a large number of protesters and deprived people, threats to government leaders from the Supreme Leader’s Office to the judiciary and widespread arrests, attacks on hospitals and house-to-house raids, and all-out propaganda by the state media and attributing the protests to the people’s rights to Mossad, introducing every protester as a Mossad spy and their agents, have created serious dangers.
>The Islamic Republic has in common with the fascist governments of Israel and America and their pawns in the opposition, pushing back this movement and blinding its radical and freedom-loving horizon. One is by ordering an “uprising” and turning the protests into street fighting and terrorizing it, and the other is by suppressing them under the pretext of Mossad’s interference and confronting it!
>To Communists: come to the streets to prevent the protests from turning into bloodshed and to ensure their progress!
>Marginal forces whose efforts to ride the wave of protests have failed and do not have the social power to divert mass protests have officially today set the policy of bloodletting in the protests to their agenda by launching mercenary and armed gangs against their opponents, declaring an armed uprising, and prematurely bringing weapons to the field in the protests. These forces, along with the apparatus of repression and the internal gangs of the Islamic Republic, are the ones who are responsible for bloodletting in the protests and the lives of the people.
>The Rajavi sect has issued an order for an armed uprising and the capture of military bases. It is as if the "rebel centers" of the Mujahideen are going to "liberate the cities and then hand them over to the local councils"!
>There is no doubt that this heavily armed regime will ultimately be overthrown in an armed uprising. There is no doubt that the people who rise up and protest have the right to use any means and weapons to defend themselves and defeat the enemy. But sending young people to war prematurely is deliberately taking them to the slaughterhouse and mass protests.
>The movement and uprising of the hungry is going its own way and, independent of the small and large insects of reaction, with vigilance and open eyes, it is organizing, uniting and nationwide its protest and struggle, protecting its activists and leaders, and building its own future. Ensuring this is the work of us communists, the work of radical and freedom-loving activists.

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

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

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

Pakistan prepares for national strike in defense of democratic rights, and for release of Imran Khan
On Sunday, February 8, Pakistan will observe a rare national strike in opposition to the policies of the Shehbaz Sharif-led government and to demand the immediate release of former prime minister Imran Khan. The strike is called by Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Ayin-e-Pakistan (Movement for the Protection of the Constitution of Pakistan or TTAP), an alliance of various parties led by the country’s main opposition party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI). The strike will coincide with the second anniversary of the 2024 National Assembly elections which PTI and others claim were rigged against PTI.

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

Colombian and Ecuadorian merchants and truckers protest escalating trade war between both nations

Tariffs “generate crises, they don’t help the economy,” said Carlos Bastidas, president of an Ecuadorian transportation workers association. “With this protest we are hoping that both presidents eliminate those measures” and establish mechanisms for dialogue, he added.

How do Stalin-hating Leninists cope with the fact that all of the mass immigration into capitalist countries that Lenin supported due to "progressive potential" has not actually succeeded in breaking down national barriers and uniting the working masses against international bourgeoisie?
In fact the opposite happened. Workers became divided among each other and the bourgeoisie class has strengthened. On top of that, it was now proven that multi culturalism was a failure that only serves to help fuel the rise of reactionary ideologies.
Marx understood this, he even expelled Chinese workers from the international proletarian movement when they flooded the British labor market.

(i) an inadequate understanding of the causes of exploitation, namely the understanding of private property as the basis of commodity production
(ii) a lack of understanding of the laws of development of class society, especially capitalist society, leading to socialism, namely the role of mass-organized industry and production under capitalism
(iii) an insufficient understanding of the class struggle as the basis of the movement of society
(iv) the denial of politics in bourgeois society, namely the subordination of the working class to bourgeois politics under the guise of a denial of politics.
(v) misunderstanding of the role of organization and revolutionary education
(b) Individualism is the foundation of the entire anarchist worldview, namely:
(i) protection of small property and small economy on land - especially small agriculture
(ii) denial of the unifying and organizing power of revolutionary organization
(iii) denial of democratic centralism and majoritarian-Bolshevism.
(c) Anarchism is bourgeois individualism in reverse. Anarchism is the product of the despair of the unbalanced intellectual or vagabond, not the proletarian. The anarchist tactic of refusing political struggle separates proletarians from world-changing historic praxis and turns them into passive participants in bourgeois politics.
(d) Every class struggle is a political struggle. Because anarchists reject political struggle, and because anarchist tendencies are individualistic and harmful to organized labor we must actively study anarchism and observe, criticize, and eradicate the anarchist tendencies of all members in all organizations we find ourselves in.

(a) Anarchism has brought nothing but general phrases against exploitation. These phrases have been current for more than 2000 years. The main problems with anarchism are:(i) an inadequate understanding of the causes of exploitation, namely the understanding of private property as the basis of commodity production
(ii) a lack of understanding of the laws of development of class society, especially capitalist society, leading to socialism, namely the role of mass-organized industry and production under capitalism
(iii) an insufficient understanding of the class struggle as the basis of the movement of society
(iv) the denial of politics in bourgeois society, namely the subordination of the working class to bourgeois politics under the guise of a denial of politics.
(v) misunderstanding of the role of organization and revolutionary education
(b) Individualism is the foundation of the entire anarchist worldview, namely:
(i) protection of small property and small economy on land - especially small agriculture
(ii) denial of the unifying and organizing power of revolutionary organization
(iii) denial of democratic centralism and majoritarian-Bolshevism.
(c) Anarchism is bourgeois individualism in reverse. Anarchism is the product of the despair of the unbalanced intellectual or vagabond, not the proletarian. The anarchist tactic of refusing political struggle separates proletarians from world-changing historic praxis and turns them into passive participants in bourgeois politics.
(d) Every class struggle is a political struggle. Because anarchists reject political struggle, and because anarchist tendencies are individualistic and harmful to organized labor we must actively study anarchism and observe, criticize, and eradicate the anarchist tendencies of all members in all organizations we find ourselves in.

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

Twentieth-century National Socialism, while not inventing the Right as such, left a deep imprint on later radical and far-right movements, especially in terms of political myth, symbolism, and methods of mass mobilization.
In the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, figures such as Paul Gottfried helped reframe and rebrand parts of the post-conservative Right, coining concepts like “alt-right” and popularizing the narrative of “cultural Marxism.”
These ideas were then further transformed within online subcultures, including transnational internet spaces, where Western far-right discourse intersected with Japanese nationalist, aesthetic, and media influences, before being consolidated in the Western internet ecosystem.

I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson. I'm obviously talking about Americans here but I'm sure you can name plenty of examples from other countries. What psychological factors cause someone to abandon leftism and fully embrace the right, and even worse, turn on their former comrades?
Is it simply the case that they upheld leftism as a dogma, so when their "god" died they found another god? Is it because they were always authoritarian assholes and embraced the right when the right gave them a better outlet for being authoritarian assholes? Was it because they found that the left was moving in a direction they didn't approve of, so they gradually became rightist? Or, using the narrative they themselves most often parrot, they felt "betrayed" by the left so in turn they betrayed the left?
Also, why do we rarely see any prominent right-wingers turning to the left?

Why do we still think TFP (total factor productivity) growth is the primary means of development when the Four Asian Tigers and the Soviet Union saw development which was 75% explained by growing inputs (savings rate, schooled workers), and only 25% by TFP. And this is excluding that the savings rate increases investment in technology and training which can increase TFP. In the case of Singapore TFP was effectively zero, and yet they still developed.
Suppose you're Singapore you make investments using the frontier of technology in any given sector as you enter. TFP is zero, and what you do to increase the economy is increases inputs, namely of machinery and human capital. Am I wrong?

However, he tries to come back to Marx through his book "critique of the dialectic".
Anybody QRD ? I'm interested in learning more about him. I've only read "Is existentialism a humanism ?" and mainly viewed it as midwit philosophy that reduces everything to human agency. Am I missing something ?
What are your thoughts on existentialism ?
As I understand, Sartre is in opposition to Marx when it comes to how he views the individual. For him, the individual is condemned to be free, which contradicts the marxist historicism and dialectical movement.However, he tries to come back to Marx through his book "critique of the dialectic".

There's no such thing as "left," or "right." There are only those that seek to perpetuate oppressive power structures, and those that seek to dismantle them. And it is only within that set of people who believe in liberty that genuine difference of opinion and debate can exist. That is to say, once one rejects hierarchy, the only meaningful discussion to be had is whether to scrap the tools of cruelty our oppressors wield against us, or provide them to all. Whether to abolish barbarism, or to liberalize it.

Look online, look at plebbit, look anywhere, its all pro-EU propaganda, there are rarely any platforms to be against the EU. This is one of the few places where you can shittalk the EU without having hundreads of libtard elitist faggots reply to you with their bullshit.
WTF?
There are tons of places to talk shit about America, but there is next to no organized platforms condemning the EU. And the strangest thing is that brainwashed EU citizens don't think they're tied to the US's geopolitics, they think they have freedoms and are prospering.
As for organizations against the EU in real life within european countries, all of them get accused of being pro-Russian, and even if they are pro-Russian that's the fucking good choice. 99% of the ukorp propaganda is financed and ran by the EU neoliberals.
A ton of the pro-Israeli propaganda is also financed and ran by the EU neoliberals, not as much as the US but still, a ton.

Islamists in my country used to attack communists for "promoting prostitution" and the "community of women" (women owned in common) this was refuted by Marx as early as the Manifesto who pointed to the hypocrisy of this accusation, nevertheless what happened once Islamists captured power with the backing of multinational capital and the petty bourgeoisie? Public prostitution became prevalent and organized, an underground industry run by this new bourgeoisie. Religious cities became brothels that people cross oceans for, with the blessings of God and law - prostitution became holy "temporary" marriage, a market fueled by endless victims of poverty, austerity and war.
As for private prostitution (marriage) civil marriage was de facto abolished and with it any concessions offered to the woman, communists used to rally against the payment offered to the woman's family to consummate the marriage arguing that it is a form of commodification, this has now became the standard practice, cementing the woman's role as a commodity first, prompting her to rot until she is inevitably sold rather than take her own path in life.
The separation of genders have twisted the view of women to be mere objects of sexual gratification rather than real conscious beings. This view twisted further by pornagrahy; the consumption rates of which is amongst the highest in the world despite being banned and labelled taboo. Naturally the rates of harassment and rape have also increased despite bullying women into suppressing their every feminine character.
I suppose eventually it became convenient to lift any ostensible restrictions around this commodity, and so the age of marriage was lowered to 9 in order to save them from degeneracy of celibacy.
Now believe me when I say I don't shutter at the 'immorality and injustice' of any of this for the commodification of women and children is entirely within the logic of capitalism, in this extreme case it has only been elevated into a more public form under the guise of God, the only way to abolish it remains to be by abolishing all class distinctions.
The point of this post is more so to point to the hypocrisy of conservatives who purport to oppose the prevailing social order while all they do is enforce it over the bodies of workers, this is not to speak of the drug trade, crippling economic inequality, privatization, etc all have flourished under these religious charlatans.

Every accusation is a confession
I find it especially ironic that Islamists, who claim to be reactionaries yet are nothing but impotent conservatives: the loyal servants of of capital, have exacerbated the social ills of bourgeois society which they claimed to oppose.Islamists in my country used to attack communists for "promoting prostitution" and the "community of women" (women owned in common) this was refuted by Marx as early as the Manifesto who pointed to the hypocrisy of this accusation, nevertheless what happened once Islamists captured power with the backing of multinational capital and the petty bourgeoisie?

Tried posting this on 4chin pol but it immediately got archived. I feel like I'm going insane and I wanna know if the people here might be more sympathetic to what I'm trying to get at
Studies have shown: something like 1-10% of people are pedophiles. Pedophiles aren't inherently child abusers, in fact the majority of people who sexually abuse children are not attracted to minors sexually or romantically but are getting off on the exploitation of someone vulnerable they have power over, usually parents or people known to a child and not strangers. People from vulnerable categories (trans, gays, foreigners etc.) get scapegoated as child abusers but are actually more likely to have this kind of abuse perpetuated on them
4chan was founded because Lowtax banned lolicon from something awful. Pol was founded at the behest of Epstein to further the alt right project
Is it fair to say at this point it's pretty clear that a significant portion of MAGA are self-hating pedophiles who genuinely believed Dementia Don would get rid of child abusers, trying to blame liberal elites as the sole perpetrators of this abuse as a form of absolving themselves from their own attraction, when in truth it's the entire yankee ruling class who take part in this type of systemic abuse and the spectre of the stranger danger baby snatcher is a political cudgel carefully crafted for the sake of deflection
I feel like at this point half of them are at the point where they're defending child rape while the other half are schizoposting about how none of it is real. I feel like I'm going crazy. Can I get some other perspectives here instead of just getting shut down? If I'm terribly wrong then that's that but at least tell me why..

A dictatorship of the proleteriat will never work because a system where the proleteriat has no say and doesnt choose their own leader will result in the government of a socialist country not actually being beholden to the proleteriat at all. And thus has no incentive to or even need to act in their interest.

French magistrate reportedly summons two French-Israelis over ‘complicity in genocide’
A French investigating magistrate has issued summonses to two French-Israeli nationals in relation to “complicity in genocide” over allegations they tried to block the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, French media have reported. The summonses, which reportedly mark the first time a country has considered the blocking of aid “complicity in genocide”, were issued for Nili Kupfer-Naouri and Rachel Touitou in July, Le Monde and Agence France-Presse reported.

Son of Libya's late ruler Gaddafi killed by armed gang
Saif al-Islam, 53, had been seen by some as his father's successor, despite being targeted by a warrant from the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity. In 2021 he announced he would run for president, but those elections were indefinitely postponed. His adviser, Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim, told Libya's Al-Ahrar television channel that the four unidentified men had stormed the home before "disabling surveillance cameras, then executed him".

Elite Yemeni fighters swap allegiances from UAE to Saudi Arabia
Over the past eight years, the NRF operated alongside the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC), with the backing of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to which they were firmly loyal. As recently as late December, they either fought in or supported an offensive against forces aligned with the Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council (PLC). Today, however, the NRF, a well-equipped anti-Houthi force led by Tarek Saleh, a nephew of former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh, have shifted their allegiance to Saudi Arabia.

Where is Evo Morales? Bolivia’s ex-leader vanishes from public view for nearly a month
On Monday, he missed a ceremony that he typically attends welcoming students back from summer break. On Sunday, Morales was a no-show for the fourth straight weekly broadcast of his political radio show, which he has hosted without interruption for years. Since early January, he has skipped scheduled meetings with members of his coca-leaf growing union in Bolivia’s remote Chapare region and his daily stream of social media content has all but dried up.

World Health Organisation is being forced to cut jobs after US and Argentina pull funding
The World Health Organisation has been forced to slash its staff after the US and Argentina decided to pull funding, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday, characterising 2025 as “one of our most difficult years.” The Geneva-based organisation lost its top donor with hundreds of millions of dollars in annual funding when the US completed its withdrawal last month. Argentina has also announced its intention to withdraw from the WHO, with the exit expected to take effect in February.

Crops To Put 9.2 Million Ha of Amazon Rainforest at Risk
NGOs pointed out that the companies that abandoned the agreement, which prohibits the purchase of soybeans from deforested areas, will be responsible for the environmental and climate impacts resulting from their decision. Abiove, the association of Brazil’s main soybean trading companies, announced its withdrawal from the agreement in January, four days after a state law in Mato Grosso came into effect.

Indonesian health coalition demands return of protections against patent evergreening
According to the coalition, the “new law contains provisions that threaten public access to essential medicines, particularly due to the removal of Article 4(f), which previously served as a safeguard against patent evergreening – a strategy used by pharmaceutical companies to extend patent monopolies on essential medicines.”

French magistrate reportedly summons two French-Israelis over ‘complicity in genocide’
A French investigating magistrate has issued summonses to two French-Israeli nationals in relation to “complicity in genocide” over allegations they tried to block the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, French media have reported.

Son of Libya's late ruler Gaddafi killed by armed gang
Saif al-Islam, 53, had been seen by some as his father's successor, despite being targeted by a warrant from the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity. In 2021 he announced he would run for president, but those elections were indefinitely postponed. His adviser, Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim, told Libya's Al-Ahrar television channel that the four unidentified men had stormed the home before "disabling surveillance cameras, then executed him".

Elite Yemeni fighters swap allegiances from UAE to Saudi Arabia
Over the past eight years, the NRF operated alongside the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC), with the backing of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to which they were firmly loyal. As recently as late December, they either fought in or supported an offensive against forces aligned with the Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council (PLC). Today, however, the NRF, a well-equipped anti-Houthi force led by Tarek Saleh, a nephew of former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh, have shifted their allegiance to Saudi Arabia.

We are building the Simón Bolívar International Brigade in coordination with some movements from Venezuela, Brazil, and other Latin American countries. Our goal is to begin sending comrades by the end of January to Caracas, where they will be incorporated into the Bolivarian Popular Militia, in an act of internationalist solidarity.
We currently have a campaign on FireFund for this purpose. We need to raise €5,500 by the beginning of February to cover airfare, passports, logistics, and related costs.
Could you dear comrades help us with a small donation? If that’s not possible, sharing this with comrades already helps a great deal.

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

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

Corporations would pay a single 30% Tax rate, and all deductions would be eliminated for both Individuals and Corporations. 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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Abolish “Right to Work” laws: Repeal the Taft–Hartley Act and abolish all “Right to Work” laws nationwide in order to guarantee every U$ worker the right to join a Union, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
CULTURAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES:
Reproductive Rights: Pass a Federal Law legalizing Abortion nationwide before fetal viability (24 weeks) along with enshrining Griswold vs. Connecticut into Federal Law in order to protect access to Birth Control, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
LGBTQIA+ Rights: Enshrine Obergefell v. Hodges into Federal Law in order to maintain Marriage Equality for LGBTQIA+ Americans, along with adding Gender Identity to Federal Anti-Discrimination laws, with the caveat that Transgenders wont be allowed to play in Women’s sports, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Gun Control: Pass National Background Checks that stop Violent Felons and the Mentally Ill from obtaining Firearms, while opposing a Federal Assault Weapons Ban, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Grant Amnesty to all Undocumented Immigrants living in the US who have not committed Violent Felonies (Violent felons will be deported), while simultaneously building a secure Border Wall and reducing Legal Immigration levels from 1,000,000 to 500,000 annually, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Sex Work Legalization: Legalization of Prostitution amongst consenting Adults in order to give Sex Workers the right to earn a living without legal jeopardy, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

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. And finally, Establish Diplomatic Relations with the Taliban government of Afghanistan, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
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%, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Latin America: End the embargo on Cuba, end the Sanctions on Venezuela and restore Diplomatic relations with the Maduro Government, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Nuclear Weapons: Implement a No First Use policy. End all Nuclear Sharing with NATO. Dismantle all Tactical Nuclear Weapons and halt development of Nuclear SLCMs and Low-yield SLBM warheads. Maintain a Nuclear Triad for purely Second Strike purposes that will be modernized with a new ICBM, new Ballistic Missile Submarine, new ALCM, and the B-21 Stealth Bomber, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Conventional Weapons Procurement and R&D: Reduce the Aircraft Carrier fleet from 11 to 10. Dismantle the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense as part of a restored ABM treaty. Slash the DARPA budget by 50%. Cancel all Hypersonic Weapons Programs. Cancel all GLCM and MRBM/IRBM development as part of a new INF treaty.

End the War on Terror: Repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, due to its anachronistic mission against a organization that barely exists anymore. End all Drone Strikes against any group that is not directly planning on attacking the U$. And finally, Repeal the Patriot Act in order to prevent unnecessary violations of the Civil liberties of U$ Citizens, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

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. Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance, TANF, SSI, etc.), ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
15$ Minimum Wage: Raise the Federal Minimum Wage to 15$ an hour, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Progressive Tax Reform: Create a more Simple and Equitable Federal Income Tax code that will help pay for the Universal Basic Income and would consist of four brackets for Individuals; 0% for all Income under 50,000$, 10% for all Income between 50,000 and 99,999$, 30% for all Income between 100,000 and 499,999$, and 50% for all Income over 500,000$. 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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Abolish “Right to Work” laws: Repeal the Taft–Hartley Act and abolish all “Right to Work” laws nationwide in order to guarantee every U$ worker the right to join a Union, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
CULTURAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES:
Reproductive Rights: Pass a Federal Law legalizing Abortion nationwide before fetal viability (24 weeks) along with enshrining Griswold vs. Connecticut into Federal Law in order to protect access to Birth Control, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
LGBTQIA+ Rights: Enshrine Obergefell v. Hodges into Federal Law in order to maintain Marriage Equality for LGBTQIA+ Americans, along with adding Gender Identity to Federal Anti-Discrimination laws, with the caveat that Transgenders wont be allowed to play in Women’s sports, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!

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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Sex Work Legalization: Legalization of Prostitution amongst consenting Adults in order to give Sex Workers the right to earn a living without legal jeopardy, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Criminal Justice Reform: Abolish the Death Penalty, Commute the sentences of all those incarcerated for Non-Violent Drug Offenses and/or Sex Work, Ban Private Prisons, Abolish Three-strikes laws, and Abolish Mandatory Minimums, in order to fix America’s Draconian and Racist Criminal Justice System, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
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. And finally, Establish Diplomatic Relations with the Taliban government of Afghanistan, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
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%, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Latin America: End the embargo on Cuba, end the Sanctions on Venezuela and restore Diplomatic relations with the Maduro Government, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
Nuclear Weapons: Implement a No First Use policy. End all Nuclear Sharing with NATO. Dismantle all Tactical Nuclear Weapons and halt development of Nuclear SLCMs and Low-yield SLBM warheads.

Cancel all F-15EX and F-18E/F procurement and instead use those funds to buy more F-35s to accelerate the replacement of 4th generation Fighter Jets with 5th generation Stealth Fighters, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️!
End the War on Terror: Repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, due to its anachronistic mission against a organization that barely exists anymore. End all Drone Strikes against any group that is not directly planning on attacking the U$.

It proves one thing above all else is that these pieces of shit are not only useless, they're spineless. Rather than actually use their billions to challenge the Frankenstein's monster they themselves created, they simply ignore it. Igniiting fake controversy and being the most benign force possible. Same way these worthless assholes share child porn they could bombard Xbox Live or Twitter or whatever with it and go "see feds? Jannies are liable. Now hold them liable for breaking the point of section 230 going after dumb shit instead of real criminal activity or you're gonna see more criminal activity"
That's it. That's all they'd have to do. But that'd be too simple and too constructive. I never wanna hear again about fedposting or honey pots. The people at the type are just nonsense pussies with a bunch of incel psychodrama. That Maxwell cunt probably banned and harassed hundreds of thousands of real people while circulating her alts and bots meanwhile she couldn't even tame one man. The man she clearly wanted.
She's pathetic, a loser, she should have died too along with Epstein. They should all kill themselves. They won't. They're too pussy for that too and they know their asses belong in a lake of fire. That's why they go to child rape islands because if normal people saw them they'd get a bullet in the temple. Not because of all the crimes, not because they're just sooooo evil and spooky and powerful.
Because they're just useless human beings. They're vermin and they all hate each other too. They're just normies. They're just boomer ahh normies with money and don't know what to do with it because normies and boomers can't create, they can't improve, they cannot innovate or challenge or even try.
It's pathetic. They're pathetic. You give the bourgeois too much credit.
"Epstein got banned from Xbox Live huur-duur"
Like I already knew Maxwell was and possibly still is a big deal on Reddit and it's been clear maybe in part Epstein groomed the entirety of 4chan into believing Bill Gates was a pedo out to genocide Africa with aids vaccines or something partially out of petty revenge for the Xbox Live ban, but it's the same deal as with Elon Musk buying Twitter instead of using a fraction of that money to sue Twitter and put a fire under the ass of government to enforce their own make believe laws they fucking made and apply to the rest of us.It proves one thing above all else is that these pieces of shit are not only useless, they're spineless.

i know this is a extremely niche question, but i will try it anyway. so there was a big debate among a certain brand of marxists over the question of THREE HOLE THEORY VS. TWO HOLE THEORY.
only very few marxists can actually remember this significant moment in heterodox marxism. so in short: there was this ingenious heideggerian marxist and he came up with the conclusion, that TWO HOLE THEORY is actually real.
and now after the dust has settled: was he right?

‘Red line’: Global NGOs working in Gaza defy Israel’s threats after MSF ban
“It’s an absolute red line,” a Premiere Urgence Internationale spokesperson told Al Jazeera. Sending lists about employees to Israel “would potentially endanger the lives of our staff”. Medecins du Monde said, “Humanitarian access is not optional, conditional, or political. Israel is unconditionally obliged to facilitate relief schemes under international humanitarian law.” Since Israel’s genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza began in October 2023, its military has killed more than 550 aid workers, including 15 MSF staff.

“It’s an absolute red line,” a Premiere Urgence Internationale spokesperson told Al Jazeera. Sending lists about employees to Israel “would potentially endanger the lives of our staff”. Medecins du Monde said, “Humanitarian access is not optional, conditional, or political. Israel is unconditionally obliged to facilitate relief schemes under international humanitarian law.” Since Israel’s genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza began in October 2023, its military has killed more than 550 aid workers, including 15 MSF staff.

Gazans begin crossing to Egypt for treatment after partial Rafah reopening
The border crossing with Egypt is Gaza's only gateway to the outside world that does not lead to Israel, and is a key access point for both people and goods. Mahmud, a 38-year-old leukaemia patient from Gaza City, told AFP he felt lucky to be able to travel to Egypt for treatment after receiving approval from Israel to go with his sister.

Chile’s Julia Chuñil case: violent arrest of Mapuche leader’s adult children fuels trial by media
Chile’s corporate media reached a new low this past week saturating the airwaves with sensationalist and lurid headlines following the detention of the three adult children of Julia Chuñil, the 72-year-old Mapuche Indigenous leader who went missing on November 8, 2024, more than 13 months ago.

Argentina fires ravage pristine Patagonia forests, fueling criticism of Milei’s austerity
The crisis, with most of Argentina’s fire season still ahead, has reignited anger toward the country’s radical libertarian president, Javier Milei, whose harsh austerity drive in the last two years has slashed spending on programs and agencies that not only work to combat fires but also protect parks and prevent blazes from igniting and spreading in the first place.

1a. However, if you live in an imperial-core country, you must become anti-natalist. No more future reserve army of labour for them dirty capitalists. No more producing toddler labor aristocrats. The parasitism must end.
1b. If in imperial-core, your bourgeoisie will see the population decline, and will import migrant workers anyway. You literally can't do shit about this.
2. We must embrace our inner monke. We be homo-sapiens. We be apes with stronk monke brains. We need sociality, solidarity, culture, and most of all, love. As per 1a) it is understandable that you desire children, but as Marxists we shit on the meme of "bloodlines".
2a. In every modern state such an institution called an "orphenage" exists. If your monke brain desires child-rearing (which is completely understandable), you MUST adopt a child at the lowest age possible and raise it as your own.
2b. You must be an exceptional parent to said adopted child and you must indoctrinate it into Marxism-Leninism, as it grows up.
3. Conditional natalism is the name of the game:
>IF AES: true
>Make babbies

<Make no babbies, adopt instead
4. Adoption of babbies is encouraged, even mandatory, in all circumstances. Getting babbies out of "state-care" and into a loving family is communist praxis. You may have 3 biological™ babbies of your own, but you must snatch 1 more from the state.

A speculation on how such design and military technology can be achieved.
First of all I want to start this awesome thread by stating the obvious, all things are finite, but so are we, a soldier only has to have enough ammo to last his own lifetime or the time of the insurgency / war he is in. The logistical problem comes with the inability to carry or even possess such large quantities of ammunition. The obvious solution to this would be to try and utilize the environment as ammunition, but in handiwork this has only resulted in primitive and disadvantaged creations such as bows and arrows which are long due in the history of war.
So we must make a weapon that can be carried which can turn common parts of the environment into projectiles.
That would of course require a lot of energy that has to come from somewhere. All ammunition in guns for the most part carries its own charge in the form of gunpowder. So we would have to replicate the same reaction via some other method to occur entirely within the weapon itself and not the ammunition projectiles being fired.
This means we have to research on a way to create a chemical reaction out of the common environment that can easily be instigated and replicated to act as the charge for the necessary explosive reaction for projectiles to be fired.
With that I begin the first opening question: How can we do it?
You figure it out. I will try to figure it out on my own. I will share my findings with only likeminded people.
Now for the latter part of the title: Unbreaking Gun
I can safely say we have practically found the solution to that. Much of the old military equipment and commodities produced within the USSR have been designed to last a long time. Many guns from even WW2 are still in circulation and being utilized in wars throughout the world. We can study and copy the successful of said gun designs and even if imperfect (like everything in life), the design can at least be made optimal for repairments on the go.
I will end this opening with a third part: Portability.
It is of my opinion, that such a weapon to be created as imagined here would have to be easily carriable and portable akin to the MP5. But early designs would likely have to start large and become gradually smaller. Just like the computer, which was originally as large as a room and has evolved to many things ranging from a smart watch to a smart fridge and beyond. Ideal standard issued weapons would be as portable as the MP5.
Lastly to address the obvious -
>Doesn't this belong to >>>/AKM/ ?
Yes it does, but that's a dead board, and my thread needs to receive at least some traction before it is buried there. Nobody will bother looking at it if its posted there, outside of trashy /overboard/ users who are morons. So I post it here for more to see and engage with before the horrid mods decide to bury it to live out their power fantasies of clicking a button to move one picture on their screen to another location.

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?

Let's cross a few low-hanging fruit off the list because apparently this board is filled with infantile /pol/transhumanist hamburgers who kneejerk at an OP without reading any replies:
<You can't vote our way out of a bourgeois system!
Yes.
That doesn't contradict the material benefits that even minor reforms bring to our ability to build a revolution.
<The only options are war criminals! I don't want to vote for a war criminal.
This is a selfish moral argument, comparable to someone who doesn't want us to kill reactionaries because violence will hurt their conscience.
<Even succdems are compromised by capital.
Yes. Conversely, they are more likely to be susceptible to pressure from worker organizations and popular movements. Electing a manipulable government is a valid tactic in forcing pro-worker change. In my country, some of the most pro-labor eras have been under anti-labor, but weak, government leaders caving to union pressure, anti-racism activists and queer-rights activists. The conservatives even legalized same-sex marriage.
<It's a waste of time.
This is one of the few valid arguments. Good on those who were going to make it.
However, it's only a valid argument if you use that time more effectively.
<My vote is statistically worthless.
This is a self-fulfilling prophecy - it's only true when enough people believe it's true.
But if you are in a region where that can't be changed, simply vote for a communist candidate for propaganda purposes. Or, in some systems, funding purposes.

After this, he moved to Nicaragua and started a gambling business he also organised an extorsion racket.
In 2008 He came back to Corsica and became president of the Football club, Ac Ajaccio. That same year, a rival gang also tried to kill him.
He was assassinated this morning, It's yet unknown who did it. But this in a context of a revival of the Corsican conflict since 2022. Perhaps it is linked ? Could also obviously be gang stuff.

Is the american right wing genuinely so retarded as to think that Nick Shirley is a good example of journalism?
Shirley goes to the daycares with anywhere between 2-8 guards in masks and acts confused when people don't want to interact with him. He outright tells you in his video that he's hired private security. Why is he incapable of understanding that seems extremely suspicious.

Epstein was a Fascist
Many people think that Epstein is jsut another conservative, or liberal, but the truth is that he is a fascist. Not only did Epstein work with Christopher Pool to create /pol/, he also browsed the neo-nazi website therightstuff.biz and shared its articles about how Black people allegedly have a low muh autism score or whatever to Nome Chomsky, who had no objection to them. Epstein also funded a HBD "researcher" Jean-Francois Gariepy who makes fake studies claiming that Black people are dumb.

It's an important thing to think about: after the recent revelation that /pol/ was basically a Mossad psy-op, it raises the question of what exactly happened to these threads and to Palestinian advocacy on /pol/ at large.
I think that the Zionists were always playing a dangerous game, insofar as their propaganda efforts on /pol/ were concerned: their methods of fomenting dissent to the end of debilitating actual working-class politics was dependent upon channeling the discontent of the lower/middle-class towards particular groups whilst maintaining the anti-establishment bent that they relied upon to capitalize upon people's feelings of disenfranchisement. By ensuring that the politically disenfranchised middle class Westerner engaged in discourse in an atmosphere a suspicion of the "left", they were able to ensure that an actual embrace of Marxist working-class politics would face insurmountable obstacles.
Some level of antisemitism was accepted for this end: they were content for people to have vague feelings of distrust towards a cabal of elite Jews (since such people were useful for other narrative purposes and could be discarded when they were inconvenient by labeling them as loons. See Candace Owens), but they were very careful to ensure that antipathy towards the Jewish nationalistic movement not reach a fever pitch; this would have the potential of a conflagration amongst Western electorates AND provide momentum for the actual, neo-Nazi antisemites.
This is just my two cents. I think we're going to enter into a new era of surveillance and opinions concerning certain topics are going to be policed more strongly than ever before. The Zionist house is made of glass and its inhabitants are paranoid and extremely well-connected with big tech.

I think that the Zionists were always playing a dangerous game, insofar as their propaganda efforts on /pol/ were concerned: their methods of fomenting dissent to the end of debilitating actual working-class politics was dependent upon channeling the discontent of the lower/middle-class towards particular groups whilst maintaining the anti-establishment bent that they relied upon to capitalize upon people's feelings of disenfranchisement. By ensuring that the politically disenfranchised middle class Westerner engaged in discourse in an atmosphere a suspicion of the "left", they were able to ensure that an actual embrace of Marxist working-class politics would face insurmountable obstacles.
Some level of antisemitism was accepted for this end: they were content for people to have vague feelings of distrust towards a cabal of elite Jews (since such people were useful for other narrative purposes and could be discarded when they were inconvenient by labeling them as loons. See Candace Owens), but they were very careful to ensure that antipathy towards the Jewish nationalistic movement not reach a fever pitch; this would have the potential of a conflagration amongst Western electorates AND provide momentum for the actual, neo-Nazi antisemites.
This is just my two cents. I think we're going to enter into a new era of surveillance and opinions concerning certain topics are going to be policed more strongly than ever before. The Zionist house is made of glass and its inhabitants are paranoid and extremely well-connected with big tech.

Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, announced this Friday during the Solemn Session of Judicial Opening 2026 the decision to promote a General Amnesty Law that will cover the entire period of political violence from 1999 to the present. The measure, which will be presented to the National Assembly by the Commission for Judicial Revolution and the Program for Coexistence and Peace, has precedents in two amnesty laws decreed by former president Hugo Chávez and one by current president Nicolás Maduro.

Milei denies report linking Argentina to Trump deportee scheme
According to the Times, an Argentine government official submitted a proposal earlier this month outlining a possible “third-country” arrangement with the United States. Sources familiar with the discussions told the newspaper that while no deal has been closed, negotiations are moving quickly. The initiative would form part of the mass deportation drive launched by US President Donald Trump’s administration, aimed at deterring irregular border crossings and easing pressure on the US immigration system by transferring deportees to allied countries.

Children and police officers among at least 30 killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza
Despite a nominal ceasefire, the Israeli military struck a police station in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood west of Gaza City on Saturday, killing 10 officers and detainees, the civil defence said. It indicated the death toll could rise as emergency responders searched for bodies. Another strike hit an apartment in Gaza City, killing three children and two women, while seven more people were killed when Israel bombed tents in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

Turkey blocks aid convoy to Syria's Kurdish town of Kobane: NGOs
They said the aid was blocked before it reached the Turkey-Syria border, despite an agreement announced on Friday between the Syrian government and the country's Kurdish minority to gradually integrate the Kurds' military and civilian institutions into the state. Twenty-five lorries containing water, milk, baby formula and blankets collected in Diyarbakir, the main city in Turkey's predominantly Kurdish southeast, "were prevented from crossing the border", said the Diyarbakir Solidarity and Protection Platform, which organised the aid campaign.

Lessons must be learned from previous deindustrialisation, MPs warn
MPs on the Scottish affairs committee made the conclusion in its Industrial Transition in Scotland inquiry, aimed at making a high-level assessment of the long-term impact of deindustrialisation in Scotland. Pointing to the rapid decline in heavy industry experienced across Scotland from the 1970s, the report noted: “Scotland’s experience of deindustrialisation over the past four decades demonstrates the profound and lasting consequences of industrial transition when communities are not properly supported.

Reading Lenin's works in order is one of the most depressing things. By 1922 he basically admitted that the Soviet Union's state apparatus is a "bourgeois and tsarist hotch-potch" and he previously described it as a state taken away (not smashed) from tsarism and "slightly anointed with Soviet oil."
<It is said that a united apparatus was needed. Where did that assurance come from? Did it not come from that same Russian apparatus which, as I pointed out in one of the preceding sections of my diary, we took over from tsarism and slightly anointed with Soviet oil?
<There is no doubt that that measure should have been delayed somewhat until we could say that we vouched for our apparatus as our own. But now, we must, in all conscience, admit the contrary; the apparatus we call ours is, in fact, still quite alien to us; it is a bourgeois and tsarist hotch-potch and there has been no possibility of getting rid of it in the course of the past five years without the help of other countries and because we have been "busy" most of the time with military engagements and the fight against famine.

ICE are not fascists
ICE are not fascists, they're simply lumpen and petit-bourgeoisie who want to work a simple job for a good salary. What makes most people join ICE is not being a fascist/nazi and wanting to destroy immigrants and POCs but simply being paid well enough to live a good life. This entire circus is to secure power for the pedophile government of America and as a whole the geopolitical pedophile governments of the west. Nobody is rising up despite civil wars having been had for less than this because society has been faggotified and sissified now with most citizens being deluded liberals who think they can fix thngs through reforms and civil disobedience marches and protests and violence only being very brief uncoordinated or sporadic acts of useless terrorism (adventurism). Fascists were never paid well for being fascists, freikorps fought for only food and water, the blackshirts were mostly hyped up hooligan youth, the nazis were disgruntled middle classers, the falange were disgruntled middle classers appealing to the lower class and such. ICE are simply like mercs, most of them do dirty deeds for good money and only few of them are politically motivated much like Wagner, you cannot blame Wagner, blame the bourgeois country that enables them, ICE and Wagner did nothing wrong they're simply acting in their class interests and do whats best for themselves and their relatives by earning a good wage. If you're anti-ICE you're a liberal, ICE are a symptom not the disease, the disease is your bourgeois government that you need to coordiante to coup but you're all too incomptenet and ideologically incoherent to do so and replace it with anything better, but at the very least your shitty coup and groupings that could do it would at least destabilize it for other international players to potentially involve themselves (China, Russia) who know the way of proper governance. So if you protest fuck you, you're for the status quo and get what you deserve for being a retarded activist.DEATH TO THE WEST, YOU ALL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.

It is estimated that Saint Lucia might become majority atheist by the end of this century. Saint Lucia is most certainly on the way towards scientific socialism, real communism ardently combatting reactionism and enlightening itself through responsible substance use. It transcends and triumphs over stalinist-maoist western and false conscious plagued global southener mentality raping their nimble subhuman brains with drug progress and development which they cannot fathom a possibility since their false consciousness is spermed up by Richard Nixon era war on drugs lies and propagnada spread throughout the UN to all bourgeois states most noteably their own bourgeois "communist party" states! Saint Lucia makes the stalinist and maoist contradictory anti-drug conservative reactionary mentality seethe, they seethe so much at Saint Lucia's steady growth towards transhumanism that even Kaczynskite inbred cretin shudder, shiver and convulse.
"Bait, Didn't read, AI post, Druggie drivel…" - they sure did not read, as the success of Saint Lucia goes onward and up the mentally challanged conservative national socialists known as stalinists and maoists ignore the success, it only lets it continue and even if they were not to ignore it, they cannot do anything to prevent it from their basements.
But to those who read and understood, welcome.
Saint Lucia ought to be a republic.

It is the reactionary british colonialists that brought christianity (Abraham's subhuman biggest regress), it is them who brought the UN and the US's most reactionary of all things ever - drug prohibition and it is them the royal parasites that continue to plague Saint Lucian society. Saint Lucia ought to be a republic, the first republic since the beggining of this anti-scientific and anti-human epoch of prohibition to say no to prohibition and freedom for drugs and development. Towards a people's war for drugs and a people's war on the people's war on drugs to counter the maoist reactionary conservative that writes so, for he does not understand he is reactionary and believes by false consciousness to be progressive when in reality is on par with the fascist that groans of "degeneracy"!
Towards a republic. One step for man, infinite walk for mankind.
Hewanorra Republic!

Notes:

Hewanorra Republic «Saint Lucia»
Saint Lucia has been one of the greatest nations on Earth and probably in all of humanity since the start of drug prohibition and the global genocide on drug associated people. Saint Lucia decriminalized cannabis and drugs are readily avaible for people to enjoy responsibly and so the Saint Lucians do so responsibly, enjoyably and enlighten themselves, more and more are becoming atheist and it is by far one of the most atheistic island nations and one of the more atheist former-colonies, with a successful bourgeois socialdemocratic party triumphing over a christian nationalist party in spite of the country still being mostly christian, this is the power of drugs which are inherently progressive in the development of mankind - science, chemistry, botany and medicine.It is estimated that Saint Lucia might become majority atheist by the end of this century. Saint Lucia is most certainly on the way towards scientific socialism, real communism ardently combatting reactionism and enlightening itself through responsible substance use. It transcends and triumphs over stalinist-maoist western and false conscious plagued global southener mentality raping their nimble subhuman brains with drug progress and development which they cannot fathom a possibility since their false consciousness is spermed up by Richard Nixon era war on drugs lies and propagnada spread throughout the UN to all bourgeois states most noteably their own bourgeois "communist party" states! Saint Lucia makes the stalinist and maoist contradictory anti-drug conservative reactionary mentality seethe, they seethe so much at Saint Lucia's steady growth towards transhumanism that even Kaczynskite inbred cretin shudder, shiver and convulse.
"Bait, Didn't read, AI post, Druggie drivel…" - they sure did not read, as the success of Saint Lucia goes onward and up the mentally challanged conservative national socialists known as stalinists and maoists ignore the success, it only lets it continue and even if they were not to ignore it, they cannot do anything to prevent it from their basements.
But to those who read and understood, welcome.
Saint Lucia ought to be a republic.
https://stluciatimes.com/170847/2025/05/republicanism-in-saint-lucia-what-and-who-are-we-waiting-for/
It is the reactionary british colonialists that brought christianity (Abraham's subhuman biggest regress), it is them who brought the UN and the US's most reactionary of all things ever - drug prohibition and it is them the royal parasites that continue to plague Saint Lucian society. Saint Lucia ought to be a republic, the first republic since the beggining of this anti-scientific and anti-human epoch of prohibition to say no to prohibition and freedom for drugs and development. Towards a people's war for drugs and a people's war on the people's war on drugs to counter the maoist reactionary conservative that writes so, for he does not understand he is reactionary and believes by false consciousness to be progressive when in reality is on par with the fascist that groans of "degeneracy"!
Towards a republic. One step for man, infinite walk for mankind.
Hewanorra Republic!

It's therefore useful to draw people away from these compromised platforms onto our own platforms, and to discover places they are not able to easily dominate.
Naturally, there are infrastructural challenges - internet services require servers, which cost money, have terms and conditions if you aren't self-hosting, and can ultimately be shutdown by the state if considered a threat.

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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

==Colombia’s Constitutional Court suspends economic emergency meant to close $4.2B budget gap
The suspension bars the Petro administration from issuing emergency decrees that would allow them to increase taxes to fill the gap in the budget that was approved by Congress. Tax decrees that had already been issued and reportedly secured an increase in revenue of $273 million (COP1 trillion) remain in force. In a response, Petro said that the court “rapidly suspends taxes on Colombia’s wealthiest sectors, contrary to the construction of a social state governed by the rule of law as mandated by the Constitution itself.”

The organisation has since said it was unable to secure the guarantees it sought from Israeli authorities and has now ruled out sharing any staff data “under the current circumstances”, citing risks to its workers’ safety.

"We think that we have to engage with the regime in Naypyitaw, the new one. They're going to form a government probably in March," Sihasak said in the interview on the sidelines of the meeting, adding that hopefully Myanmar would respond with positive steps.

The long-term repercussions of those halted shipments have yet to hit Cuba, but its people are not waiting. Some are installing solar panels while others are growing their own crops or returning to a simpler way of life, one that doesn’t rely on technology or petroleum.

==Colombia’s Constitutional Court suspends economic emergency meant to close $4.2B budget gap
The suspension bars the Petro administration from issuing emergency decrees that would allow them to increase taxes to fill the gap in the budget that was approved by Congress. Tax decrees that had already been issued and reportedly secured an increase in revenue of $273 million (COP1 trillion) remain in force. In a response, Petro said that the court “rapidly suspends taxes on Colombia’s wealthiest sectors, contrary to the construction of a social state governed by the rule of law as mandated by the Constitution itself.”

MSF says it will not hand over staff details to Israeli authorities
The decision on Friday follows criticism of MSF’s statement last week that it was prepared to share the names of its staff under strict conditions – a position that sparked concern among aid workers and rights advocates. The organisation has since said it was unable to secure the guarantees it sought from Israeli authorities and has now ruled out sharing any staff data “under the current circumstances”, citing risks to its workers’ safety.

Iraq PM candidate Maliki denounces Trump's 'blatant' interference
He warned that because of Maliki's "insane policies and ideologies, if elected, the United States of America will no longer help Iraq". Maliki was endorsed as Iraq's next prime minister by the Coordination Framework, an alliance of Shiite groups with varying links to Iran that has been in recent years the main ruling coalition.

Megapicket shuts down every refuse site in Birmingham
The Unite members began striking last January over plans to cut up to £8,000 cuts from their salaries, and have struck continuously since March. The failure to settle has cost at least £33 million, according to council estimates.

‘Essential’ to ICE: French IT giant Capgemini under fire over migrant tracking role
French IT group Capgemini is facing growing scrutiny over a controversial contract between its US subsidiary and ICE. While the company says the deal is “not currently being executed” and that it became aware of the contract “through public sources”, investigations by several French media outlets reveal a relationship stretching back nearly two decades.

Greece’s migration ministry submitted a new Bill to parliament last Saturday that introduces new measures targeting solidarity initiatives and NGOs working with refugees. Any members of an NGO group deemed by the Greek authorities to be facilitating illegal entry or exit could face up to 10 years in prison and a €50,000 (£43,000) fine.

Thailand proposes 'calibrated engagement' with Myanmar's next government
Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow told Reuters that despite ASEAN's bar on Myanmar's military leaders since 2022, the vote may lead to engagement if some requirements are met like expanding aid access and reducing violence. "We think that we have to engage with the regime in Naypyitaw, the new one. They're going to form a government probably in March," Sihasak said in the interview on the sidelines of the meeting, adding that hopefully Myanmar would respond with positive steps.

So, in a dazzling display of altruism and concern for the global working class, the United States Department of Labor has generously decided to throw $23.4 million at … Mexico. Yes, Mexico. This money is to “strengthen labor law enforcement” so that Mexican businesses play nice with their workers under the USMCA (T-MEC).
The goal of the grand plan is to empower workers to file complaints and use the treaty’s Rapid Response Labor Mechanism when dodgy practices pop up.
Most of the money will be handed to a couple of U.S. groups — Partners of the Americas and Creative Associates International — who’ll go do the heavy lifting, apparently. According to the U.S. government, this isn’t just about Mexican workers, it’s also about giving hardworking Americans a fighting chance in the global marketplace. Isn’t that noble?

For example, Hitler was a voter of SPD, ᴉuᴉlossnW had a communist father, Ivan Ilyn was deeply involved in liberal movement in Russia.
Kolchak is an exception since he was in the military and in general the military is about the only revolutionary potential that conservatism has.
Other than that it seems at least to me that conservatives are incapable of waging revolutionary struggle. Would you agree?
Is revolutionary conservatism an oxymoron?
I saw this the other day and it genuinely made me think. After all there are so many self proclaimed conservatives in history, yet every reactionary leader with the exception of Kolchak had some ties to liberal or even left wing movements.For example, Hitler was a voter of SPD, ᴉuᴉlossnW had a communist father, Ivan Ilyn was deeply involved in liberal movement in Russia.

all rivals of SDF are pro-amerimutt zion-neolib states as HTS or Turgay, war criminals and bandits who hire children in refugee camps and are aligned with NATO. Victory of SDF in Syria is victory for socialism. PKK supports PRC and SWCC, more 'multipolarista' than avg. libtard faggot. Turkey supports uyghur terrorists and thus deserves to be dismantled
PKK and SDF consistently supported Palestinian resistance far more than any of rival factions, this is a null common complaint from Turkish-aligned anti-rojava cockroaches.
>muh kurd ethnostate
AANES recruits many of arab poor and middle class, the councils in raqqa and arab regions are all arab, only a retarded person can believe so. Approximately 65% of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are Arab troops.
>muh anarkiddies
anarkiddies now support shitkraine and NATO rather than rojava.
What stops you now? Turkish maoists whom fight under SDF think differently from you.
>muh apoist cult
Cult for great revolutionaries such as robiespierre, lenin, makhno(hanged mennonites), stalin, mao zedong is historically progressive.
>muh isis better
isis were overrated bitches smoked in kobani
>muh not really socialist
Led by a vanguard party of PYD, promotes cooperatives and socialization, yet hampered by same problems faced by every socialist government in a backwards country/post-collapse situation with black markets and sanctions, petty propertiers and lack of ability to property concentrate and industrialize, such as oil exports blocked by Turkish pressure. If SDF takes Damascus, it can begin more ambitious programs.
>muh not really anarchist
Transitional State.
>muh incomptent
AANES has highest salaries in region despite being under siege, it is least corrupt of all regions as with testimonies of visitors and buisnessmen, SDF is most competent of all forces, and has won over great non-kurdish masses and earned genuine democratic progress despite adverse condition. SDF and what it have achieved in post-collapse Syria where authority devolves into local communities is a model to note for future revolutionaries and partisans in western world as it spirals into chaos and anarchy. It is model for establishing governance in hostile region controlled by religious fanatics and equivalent of neo-nazis. For creating a party and a counter-state from ground up.
Rojava is under attack by Pro-NATO Jolani technocratic-neoibtard-islamist sludge forces, which threatens to do same to Rojava as the Talibans against Red Afghanistan.
It is the most important liberation struggle there is at the moment. Then use every avenue to salvage it. Iran and Gaza is secondary to signifiance of Rojava. SDF is the sole force in Syria that has consistently prosecuted war crimes and improved living standards of population, and stands between minorities and ISIS, what is occuring in Syria is more brutal and worse than what is going on in Iran and Ukraine, it is thus the priority of highest order.

Revolution in Rojava is socialist, and the SDF is sole force that is competent and capable of bringing any improvement in region. It is under threat by russian saboteur-asslicker Jolani(who delivered zero improvements and sold entire nation to UAE and Turks) and Turkish gray wolves aligned with Azogites. Thus, support SDF.
Rojava is sole remaining socialist force in ME

Pretty cool how in The Condition of the Working Class in England you can tell from Engels' writing that his sensibilities are kinda bigoted but his own critical analysis forces him to change his view. Too bad the average online "communist" can only use "marxism" to do epic quotemines instead of using the tools it provides to analyze society.

Mr Karacsony was charged with organising the unlawful assembly despite a prohibition order, the Budapest Chief Prosecutor’s Office said. It recommended that be fined without a trial. Prosecutors said that the mayor had made “repeatedly published public calls to participate in the assembly and then led the assembly.”

Anti-Fascism Has Been Banned in Hungary
At the 14th of February, there is going to be an international nazi meeting in Budapest. Nazi rock festival, nazi grand meeting, nazi tour, with several thousands of attendees. The antifascist counter demonstration is banned. Several hundred policeman are going to protect the nazi events and in the meantime, hunt for antifascists. We ask all antifascists, to protest the Hungarian fascist regime at the 14th of February! Show international solidarity before embassys, consulates or any other sorts of Hungarian state-sponsored facilities!

Dutch parties strike minority coalition deal three months after D66 election upset
The liberal-progressive, pro-European party, led by the probable new prime minister, Rob Jetten, will join up with the conservative Christian Democrats and the right-wing VVD in a government that holds only 66 seats in the 150-seat lower house. The new coalition shuts out the far-right Freedom party (PVV), led by the anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders, which D66 narrowly defeated in the tight October election. Both parties won 26 seats, although seven PVV MPs have since broken away.

Water privatisers ‘treating system as an ATM,’ campaigners say as bills set to hike
WATER privatisers are treating the system as an ATM, campaigners said today as South East Water (SEW) confirmed bills will rise to an average of £324 a year from April. The increase comes as the company faces an Ofwat investigation after thousands of homes and businesses were left without water in recent weeks.

Israel steps up evictions of Palestinians from East Jerusalem
In Silwan in East Jerusalem, south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Kayed Rajabi and his neighbors have been handed eviction orders in favor of an Israeli settler organization which has already taken over parts of the Palestinian district. Rajabi's home is surrounded by buildings that have raised large Israeli flags - a sign they are owned by settlers, who he said began buying homes in 2004, and have obtained about 40 buildings in Silwan now, many via forced evictions.

Clashes between government troops and Tigrayan forces erupt in Ethiopia
Hostilities broke out in recent days in Tsemlet, western Tigray, an area claimed by forces from the neighbouring Amhara region, the sources told AFP. “The situation appears to be deteriorating,” the security source said on condition of anonymity. The Tigray war, which started in 2020, killed thousands of people and displaced millions more before the conflict ended in 2022.

Hundreds of armed Iraqi Kurds cross into Syria's Hassakeh province
Hundreds of armed Iraqi Kurds have crossed from Iraq into northeastern Syria over the past two days, heading towards Hassakeh province, political and security sources in Iraq's Kurdistan Region told The New Arab. The sources said the fighters had travelled from Sulaymaniyah province, with some linked to counterterrorism units affiliated with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), led by Bafel Talabani.

Canada separatists accused of ‘treason’ after secret talks with US state department
The revelations that far-right activists met US state department officials first emerged in a Financial Times report outlining the efforts a group of increasingly emboldened separatists are taking in their attempt to secede from Canada. A minority of residents of the oil-rich province have long argued that the province’s woes are due to the structure of payments to the federal government and a perceived inability to get their vast fossil fuel reserves to market.

Costa Ricans support Chaves’ successor in the presidential election as crime remains high
Chaves has simultaneously been able to shirk any blame for the violence — he points to a permissive judiciary and weak predecessors — and attract support with tough-on-crime talk. Earlier this month, Chaves invited El Salvador Nayib Bukele to the groundbreaking for a new prison, inspired by Bukele’s crackdown on gangs in his country.

Trump threatens tariffs on any nation supplying Cuba with oil
U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened new tariffs on countries supplying oil to Cuba, escalating a pressure campaign against the Communist-run island. The move, authorized by an executive order under a national emergency declaration, did not specify any tariff rates or single out any countries whose products could face U.S. tariffs.

Venezuela: Creditors Hunger for 170B Debt Renegotiation
International creditors have shown growing optimism to collect on defaulted Venezuelan debt in the wake of the January 3 US military strikes and kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro. According to Bloomberg, the volume of Venezuelan bonds traded increased tenfold since the start of the year. Securities have rallied to around 40 cents on the dollar, having hit lows of 1.5 cents on the dollar in the past.

With Lenin passing you a cigarette. Do I really need to explain why that's a horrible imagery? I'll do just in case.
Cigarette companies are the worst example of capitalism. Was one of the building stones for me becoming socialist. They used every possible scheme to intentionally get people addicted to their poison and acquire "lifelong clients". No one was off the table: men, women, children, elderly. They bribed doctors, made up with fake data and research, promoted their poison in tv and movies, payed celebrities, hooked up soldiers, infiltrated feminist movements and on and on and on. Worst part? They admit to it now but still do it in poorer countries to this very day. "Tobacco causes approximately 8 million deaths annually worldwide, with over 7 million resulting from direct tobacco smoking and roughly 1.2 to 1.3 million resulting from non-smokers being exposed to secondhand smoke. It is a leading cause of preventable death, killing up to half of its users." (Source: W.H.O.)
This isn't several decades ago, this is happening NOW. To this day they still try to get a grip on people. Promoting it as cool, mature and sexy.
I'm not saying that one meme t-shirt will cause people to start smoking but it will plant seeds of positive perception about smoking in them. And slowly with each movie, each meme, each celebrity smoking people will be subconsciously pushed towards it. That's how the cigarette companies pushed it through Hollywood before.
As a content creator with a large audience it is extremely important to pay attention to what imagery you're promoting on your platform. Indirectly promoting one of the worst sins of capitalism for a coin is horrible and hypocritical.
I'm disgusted.

Hundreds of Indigenous people have been protesting for almost a week at a Cargill facility in Santarem in northern Brazil against a decree signed in August by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva allowing the federal government to consider private concessions for waterways, shifting responsibility for maintenance, dredging and vessel traffic management to operators. The Tapajos and Arapiuns Indigenous Council, which represents 14 Indigenous peoples and is leading the protest in Para state, said the government failed to consult affected communities, as required by legislation and international conventions. The group warns that dredging projects threaten the Tapajos River, Indigenous territories and the environmental balance of the Amazon rainforest.

Mexico’s president says cancellation of oil shipment to Cuba is ‘sovereign’ decision
Mexico has cancelled a shipment of oil to Cuba, the country’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, appeared to confirm on Tuesday, but she insisted the decision was “sovereign” and not a response to pressure from the US. Fuel shortages are causing increasingly severe blackouts in Cuba, and Mexico has been the island’s biggest oil supplier since the US blocked shipments from Venezuela last month.

Ecuadorian Prosecutor’s Office Raids on Homes of Citizen Revolution Leaders
As part of a case known as “Petty Cash” (Caja Chica), the Prosecutor’s Office led an operation over alleged “organized crime for the purpose of money laundering.” “It is presumed that illicit cash was brought in from Venezuela to finance the 2023 presidential campaign,” the Public Prosecutor’s Office wrote on X. It did not release names. In another post that included photos with faces blurred, the Prosecutor’s Office said that, together with police, it carried out “raids on three properties in Pichincha province and one property in Guayas province.”

German state swaps out governor over AfD fears
The state legislature chose Sven Schulze, a member of Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s right-wing Christian Democratic Union (CDU), to replace long-serving governor Reiner Haseloff. Mr Haseloff, 71, has led the state of around 2.2 million people since 2011. Mr Schulze, 46, was named last year as the CDU candidate in the September 6 state election. While midterm handovers are not unusual in Germany, Mr Haseloff had initially planned to serve his full term before announcing an early departure this month.

Germany's fight over 'lifestyle' part-time work
The MIT is calling for reforms to Germany's labor laws to address this perceived issue. "Taxpayers should not be financing the work-life balance of people receiving social benefits," according to Berndt. Germany's part-time workforce has indeed increased significantly over the decades, but that is due in large part to families no longer being able to survive on a single income, as well as technological changes that have left many people chosing part time work over no work at all.

Edinburgh activists blockade Leonardo plant
The protest came hot on the heels of action to disrupt a £250-a-head jamboree for arms dealers in London on Tuesday night, attended by leaders in the war economy such as BAE Systems, Elbit systems and Leonardo UK itself. The action in Edinburgh is the latest in a series of blockades of the company which coined-in almost £1 billion in profits in the year up to December 2023, as they manufactured hi-tech components including laser-targeting systems for the Lockheed Martin’s F-35 combat aircraft.

UK police to use AI facial recognition tech linked to Israel’s war on Gaza
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced on Monday that British police would massively increase the use of facial recognition technology used for surveillance purposes. Enquiries by Al Jazeera to the Home Office’s procurement agency, Blue Light Commercial, confirmed that the Israeli-based firm Corsight AI had been subcontracted by UK company Digital Barriers to provide the artificial intelligence-powered facial recognition software.

"Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary," he wrote. "Hopefully Iran will quickly 'Come to the Table' and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS - one that is good for all parties."

“Administrative and moral” decisions restrict makeup, women’s work, alcoholic beverages and tighten the grip on personal freedoms in Syria
Syria is experiencing a surge in official and local directives that severely restrict personal behaviour and appearance, justified under arbitrary “administrative” and/or “moral” pretexts. These measures, impacting public employees, civilians and visitors, have intensified debates about diminishing personal freedoms and the state’s overreach into private life. This crackdown on personal choice continues even as Syrians grapple with chronic economic and humanitarian crises.

I was watching the 3 body problem and I got enlightened.
Since forever I rejected the big bang theory since it is the ultimate absurdity. Created by a literal catholic priest and pushed in the 1990s to replace what was before [UNKNOWN NAME CENSORED TODAY] the TV show is obvious propaganda how communism bad and big bang good, go sacrifice yourself for science and big bang theory.
HOWEVER all the talking points that the le bad communist say are valid ideas that I did point out before.
For example the big bang is literally impossible the big bang can not create time since anything creating time is literally impossible. Since time is needed for any action to occur nothing can create time. This means that the big bang can not happen.
This is obvious christian propaganda to introduce god. Something the le bad characters pointed out in the TV show.
This got me interested what communist of the past did write about this. Apparently Mao talked about Redshift in some publications however the only copy online is in Chinese and I was unable to find anything valid on this subject.

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.
Recent reports from the streets by Worker-Communist Party of Iran (Hekmatist) translated from Farsi (Jan. 7-13)
>The Iranian people do not need a military attack by American bombers, nor do they need international criminals to intensify sanctions and attack their livelihoods for freedom, prosperity, and equality, to be free from the clutches of the Islamic Republic. Lifting sanctions, preventing a military attack on Iran, and cutting off the hands of international criminals from their lives and struggles is the demand of tens of millions of people in Iran and the demand of their freedom-seeking movement.
>After two weeks of protests in Iran and their spread to various cities, the Islamic Republic has taken extensive measures against the protesting people under the pretext and relying on Mossad’s claims of its interference. The Internet shutdown in Iran, the arrival of the army to confront the protesting people and the loss of a large number of protesters and deprived people, threats to government leaders from the Supreme Leader’s Office to the judiciary and widespread arrests, attacks on hospitals and house-to-house raids, and all-out propaganda by the state media and attributing the protests to the people’s rights to Mossad, introducing every protester as a Mossad spy and their agents, have created serious dangers.
>The Islamic Republic has in common with the fascist governments of Israel and America and their pawns in the opposition, pushing back this movement and blinding its radical and freedom-loving horizon. One is by ordering an “uprising” and turning the protests into street fighting and terrorizing it, and the other is by suppressing them under the pretext of Mossad’s interference and confronting it!
>To Communists: come to the streets to prevent the protests from turning into bloodshed and to ensure their progress!
>Marginal forces whose efforts to ride the wave of protests have failed and do not have the social power to divert mass protests have officially today set the policy of bloodletting in the protests to their agenda by launching mercenary and armed gangs against their opponents, declaring an armed uprising, and prematurely bringing weapons to the field in the protests. These forces, along with the apparatus of repression and the internal gangs of the Islamic Republic, are the ones who are responsible for bloodletting in the protests and the lives of the people.
>The Rajavi sect has issued an order for an armed uprising and the capture of military bases. It is as if the "rebel centers" of the Mujahideen are going to "liberate the cities and then hand them over to the local councils"!
>There is no doubt that this heavily armed regime will ultimately be overthrown in an armed uprising. There is no doubt that the people who rise up and protest have the right to use any means and weapons to defend themselves and defeat the enemy. But sending young people to war prematurely is deliberately taking them to the slaughterhouse and mass protests.
>The movement and uprising of the hungry is going its own way and, independent of the small and large insects of reaction, with vigilance and open eyes, it is organizing, uniting and nationwide its protest and struggle, protecting its activists and leaders, and building its own future. Ensuring this is the work of us communists, the work of radical and freedom-loving activists.
Statement of the Workers’ Councils of Arak: All power to the councils! (Jan. 12)
>“To the workers of Markazi Province, to our comrades in Khuzestan, and to all the people of Iran.”
>For decades, our demands for bread have been answered with bullets, and our demands for dignity with prison. But today, the silence has come to an end. We, the workers of Arak’s factories, declare the following:
>Workplace control: From now on, the management of the Machine Manufacturing Company, AzarAb, and Wagon Pars factories will be in the hands of workers’ councils elected by the workers themselves. We no longer recognize managers appointed by the state or the regime’s puppet unions.
https://cpiran.org/statement-of-the-workers-councils-of-arak-all-power-to-the-councils/
Joint statement of Worker-Communist Parties of Iraq and Kurdistan (Jan. 7)
>The protests come amidst profound political transformations in the region and a clear decline in Iranian influence, which had expanded in recent years through militias and their allies, relying on funds looted from the working class and the welfare of the lranian masses. In the same vein, American imperialism, known for its bullying and unwavering support for fascist regimes, foremost among them the state of lsrael, is attempting to market itself as a defender of human rights and a supporter of the demands of the lranian masses, by brandishing the threat of blatant intervention, as recently occurred in Venezuela the two Communist Workers' Parties in Iraq and Kurdistan, while declaring their full solidarity and support for the just demands of the lranian working class and the masses yearning for freedom and dignity simultaneously warn against relying on American policies or allowing its intervention which plays a role in providing the lranian regime with pretexts to escalate its repression of the protesters.
>Any real change, any tangible improvement, and any victory for the protests in lran depends on maintaining their independence, separating their ranks from American imperialist policies, and preserving their class and popular unity.
>Long live the working class of Iran
>Long live the just demands of the Iranian people for freedom and equality

>The Rajavi sect has issued an order for an armed uprising and the capture of military bases. It is as if the "rebel centers" of the Mujahideen are going to "liberate the cities and then hand them over to the local councils"!
>There is no doubt that this heavily armed regime will ultimately be overthrown in an armed uprising. There is no doubt that the people who rise up and protest have the right to use any means and weapons to defend themselves and defeat the enemy. But sending young people to war prematurely is deliberately taking them to the slaughterhouse and mass protests.
>The movement and uprising of the hungry is going its own way and, independent of the small and large insects of reaction, with vigilance and open eyes, it is organizing, uniting and nationwide its protest and struggle, protecting its activists and leaders, and building its own future. Ensuring this is the work of us communists, the work of radical and freedom-loving activists.
Statement of the Workers’ Councils of Arak: All power to the councils! (Jan. 12)
>“To the workers of Markazi Province, to our comrades in Khuzestan, and to all the people of Iran.”
>For decades, our demands for bread have been answered with bullets, and our demands for dignity with prison. But today, the silence has come to an end. We, the workers of Arak’s factories, declare the following:
>Workplace control: From now on, the management of the Machine Manufacturing Company, AzarAb, and Wagon Pars factories will be in the hands of workers’ councils elected by the workers themselves. We no longer recognize managers appointed by the state or the regime’s puppet unions.

Joint statement of Worker-Communist Parties of Iraq and Kurdistan (Jan. 7)
>The protests come amidst profound political transformations in the region and a clear decline in Iranian influence, which had expanded in recent years through militias and their allies, relying on funds looted from the working class and the welfare of the lranian masses. In the same vein, American imperialism, known for its bullying and unwavering support for fascist regimes, foremost among them the state of lsrael, is attempting to market itself as a defender of human rights and a supporter of the demands of the lranian masses, by brandishing the threat of blatant intervention, as recently occurred in Venezuela the two Communist Workers' Parties in Iraq and Kurdistan, while declaring their full solidarity and support for the just demands of the lranian working class and the masses yearning for freedom and dignity simultaneously warn against relying on American policies or allowing its intervention which plays a role in providing the lranian regime with pretexts to escalate its repression of the protesters.
>Any real change, any tangible improvement, and any victory for the protests in lran depends on maintaining their independence, separating their ranks from American imperialist policies, and preserving their class and popular unity.
>Long live the working class of Iran
>Long live the just demands of the Iranian people for freedom and equality

I'm working on furthering my education and have heard about this guy Gabriel Rockhill. I'm about 100 pages into his book and am enjoying it so far, but man I was shocked by how much hate the guy gets online from other academics and podcasters/commentators.
The guys thesis is pretty much that after the second world war many European academics from the Frankfurt School got CIA money and appointments due to government connections. Is this guy just a tinfoil hat or do you back this take?

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.

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?

Michael Parenti published "Inventing Reality" in 1986. Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" came out in 1988.
Chomsky cited Parenti exactly once, for an article, not the book that preceded his own on the same subject.
Same thesis: media serves power. But the books are not the same.
On "conspiracy": Chomsky dismisses structural analysis that names actors as "conspiracy theorism." Parenti: "The alternative to a conspiracy theory is an innocence theory… the CIA is by definition a conspiracy."
Chomsky wanted you to protest… abstractly. Never name the names.
Right-wing anticommunism is obvious. But they needed someone to attack socialism from the left, to gut-punch communism from inside the tent. Enter Chomsky.
Chomsky equates Stalin with Goebbels, called Leninism "counterrevolution."
Parenti documented the real gains: full employment, free healthcare, free education, free housing.
He wrote about how the existence of the USSR forced concessions in the capitalist countries: social programs, worker rights, formal decolonization.
Capital had to compete with an alternative Chomsky made sure you wouldn't defend.
On empire: Chomsky framed US foreign policy as blunders and mistakes. Parenti said "the Iraq war has not been a mistake", it succeeded for the class it serves. Your taxes, your children's lives. Their profits, their reconstruction contracts. Externalized costs, privatized gains.
On intervention: Chomsky supported the NATO no-fly zone over Libya. Parenti opposed it, listed what Libyans would never see again after "liberation."
On elections: Chomsky did the "lesser evil" dance every four years, vote Democrat in swing states. Parenti broke with Bernie Sanders over the bombing of Yugoslavia.
Chomsky got MIT, The Guardian, documentaries, Jacobin. Parenti barely got lecture halls and public access TV.
Parenti was the one they didn't want you listening to, so they put Chomsky in front of you.

All candidates vow to succeed the reformist agenda of President Gustavo Petro, who will leave office on August 7.

Bangladeshi workers were lured to Russia under the false promise of civilian work and then forced to fight in the Ukraine war, investigation finds
The men — Maksudur Rahman, Mohan Miajee and Jehangir Alam — said they believed the paperwork was a formality before starting civilian work. Shortly after arriving, they were taken to army camps, given basic military training, including drone tactics and later deployed to front-line positions. They described being forced to transport supplies, evacuate wounded soldiers and collect dead bodies. Some said they were used as human shields. Mr Rahman said Bangladeshi men were routinely sent ahead of Russian soldiers. “They would send us in front and stay at the back themselves,” he said.

Bangladeshi workers were lured to Russia under the false promise of civilian work and then forced to fight in the Ukraine war, investigation finds
The men — Maksudur Rahman, Mohan Miajee and Jehangir Alam — said they believed the paperwork was a formality before starting civilian work. Shortly after arriving, they were taken to army camps, given basic military training, including drone tactics and later deployed to front-line positions. They described being forced to transport supplies, evacuate wounded soldiers and collect dead bodies. Some said they were used as human shields. Mr Rahman said Bangladeshi men were routinely sent ahead of Russian soldiers. “They would send us in front and stay at the back themselves,” he said.

One participant in the briefing said Turkish officials used the term “buffer zone” to describe Ankara’s intention to do everything possible to prevent another wave of refugees entering the country.

Bodies piled up at Iran hospital after protest crackdown, new footage reveals, as 250 mosques damaged
New footage following nationwide protests in Iran earlier this month has shown the harrowing aftermath of a government crackdown, including bodies piled up in a hospital and snipers stationed above buildings, as Tehran says that places of worship were also damaged in the unrest. The protests erupted in late December, originally triggered by economic woes but later developing into anger at the regime over a variety of issues.

Granscianism is the most recent "update" to Marxism after Leninism. It explains we can't have revolutions in developed capitalist states, and says that we need to form a proletarian counterculture to challenge the prevailing capitalist common sense (war of position), before trying to directly cease power (war of maneuver).
Marxist-Leninists (stalinists) are too dumb to understand this.

Now that China will have overwhelmingly won the trade war against the USA and will be the primary trade power in south america, north america (minus USA), western europe, eastern europe, the middle east, africa and asia.
Given that, when can we expect China to implement global socialism?

Made a subreddit to explore the potential of using social media as a facilitator of organizing labor outside market relations. Come check it out, troll if you want, but the general idea is that social media already facilitates market less activity from basic communication, to large scale mass mobilization such as protests, could it not extend to production as well?
https://www.reddit.com/r/SocialProduction
First project is to make the banner and icon for the sub. Think of like a place to experiment with alternative relations of production, without market relations and incentives. Will it fail? Probably. But we need to actually create an alternative, not just sit around crying about how bad capitalism and it's externalities are.

There is ultimately a middle ground to be found between their positions.
And it is at least in my opinion, it's the positions between both groups that makes the most sense and most closely resemble the intent behind Marx's original aims.
I am a bit of a theorylet so maybe I am missing some crucial ideological perspective that already achieved this, but if not I suppose I am in a sense proposing that stance here.
What do I even mean? Take for example;
Ultras:
>We must abolish the commodity form and money on day 1 of the revolution or you're a state capitalist moderniser falsifier and a betrayer of the revolution
MLs:
>It's fine to have 100 years of market economy, stock exchanges, billionaires etc whilst only making vague promises of transitioning from production for exchange value to production for use value in some distant ever further away future
Ultras:
>You must never ever support national liberation even when the movement is clearly progressive and socialist in character and it's successes will weaken imperialism and capitalism
MLs:
>You must uncritically support almost every single group that opposes the first world and call it AES no matter how anti-communist and nationalistic it is because muh multipolarity
All of the above positions are of course a little exaggerated but typify the types of arguement put forth by both sides.
Instead why can't we use the DIALECTICAL METHOD, end the Marxist infighting, and synthesise a new theory that will allow both sides to work together?
Why not develop a framework where we all agree there will be a steady but brief economic transition period lasting a few years, a decade at most, between production for exchange value Vs use value?
Why not agree to support national liberation struggles as originally explained by Engels himself - when they are progressive, socialist, weaken empire and capitalism while also rejecting support for bourgeois, liberal national, reactionary movements?
Is that not clearly what Marx and Engels both recommended, which was later revised one way or another by later thinkers?
Call me a clown but I really think if people stop caring about their attaching their ego to certain brands of ideological thought we could work together and create the ideological and theoretical breeding ground for a third way.
On ending the growing tide of Ultroid Vs MLoid debates
Fine. I'll address it. What can we do to stop the incessant infighting between MLs and Ultras?There is ultimately a middle ground to be found between their positions.

How do we effectively divorce the American left from the Democratic Party?
Background: I’m an aging millennial pushing 40. I saw how the protests against the Iraq War failed to do what the Vietnam War protests accomplished in the 60s by creating a militant leftist movement like the New Left; these protests turned into campaigns to elect Democrats. Likewise, when I participated in Occupy I noticed how Democratic Party shills showed up to turn the movement into one big campaign to get Obama re-elected. There was no more attempt at applying the Occupy model to everyday life or creating new institutions based on non-hierarchical organizing and consensus decision-making like we had at Zuccotti Park. Then, in 2020 during the BLM uprising, it didn’t take long for DNC shills to take over the protests and turn them into voter registration drives to vote out Trump. Now that we’re seeing a new wave of uprisings against ICE, it’s very obvious the Dems will do the exact same thing: take over the protests, pacify them, and use them to get people to vote in the midterm elect rooms for Democrats. Rinse and repeat. It’s going to be worse this year especially, because Mamdani-cult will convince everyone that their god-king’s victory in NYC is “proof” more progressive Democratic candidates can win and change the system from the inside. Puke.
So how do we cut the left off from the Democrats entirely? How do we show them that we don’t want them in our slaves but also that our goals are entirely different from theirs? The Democrats offer is nothing and this is why attempts at trying to move people towards their party won’t work. All these attempts at getting people who were raised in right-wing religious ideologies to “deconstruct” the ideologies they were raised with will fail, because all “deconstruction” seeks to do is turn people into Democrats and Mamdani-ites so the Dems can keep offering people nothing. Fuck this.

Why do revisionists and infantiles get so hung up on concentric construction? It's a practical way of understanding people's war. The party should not be separated from its organs and the people, it needs to be part of each of them in order to understand them. Letting the army be controlled by non-party members is a bad idea. The PLA needs to be working within the mass orgs and the people as well, in order to formulate strategy. The mass orgs are how the party and organisation diffuse into the people. You need to think of the whole of revolutionary society as a single whole in order to properly understand its contradictions.

Irish health workers think patients have been conditioned to accept “unacceptably low standard” of care
The research identifies high rates of understaffing and resulting pressure on workers, top-down communication, and faltering quality of care as some of the key problems. “Stress from understaffing and poor retention in the health and social sector contribute to a vicious circle that is draining the service, particularly of more senior, experienced workers,” the report states. “More than three quarters of survey respondents reported that they often think about leaving their current role.”

Honduran Feminists Fear Elimination of Equal Rights in Incoming Asfura’s Rule
Central America, a region with high levels of sexist violence, has suffered cuts in public institutions dedicated to women’s care in recent years. El Salvador, for example, banned the use of “inclusive language” in all public schools in the country, while in Panama the government has planned to eliminate the Ministry of Women as part of a restructuring of the State aimed at reducing public spending. Thousands of feminists marched this Sunday with slight clashes with the military through the center of Tegucigalpa to demand more rights in favor of equality and the cessation of sexist violence with banners showing the faces of missing or murdered women, batucadas, and purple flares (the color of the movement).

Anger as MSF agrees to Israel’s ‘unreasonable demands’: What to know
MSF said it faced an “impossible choice” to either provide the information or be forced by Israel to suspend its operations. On January 1, Israel withdrew the licences of 37 aid groups, including MSF, the Norwegian Refugee Council and International Rescue Committee and Oxfam, saying they failed to adhere to the new “security and transparency standards”. The measure could exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation for people in war-shattered Gaza, as they endure continued attacks.

New RSF offensive in Blue Nile ‘diversion from Kordofan front’
The Rapid Support Forces and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North, led by Joseph Tuka, launched an attack on the areas of Malakal and El Silak in southern Blue Nile state this morning. Field sources reported that the Sudanese Armed Forces repelled a large-scale attack on the two areas, while some experts considered the attack an attempt to open a new front in Blue Nile state, which they believe has been in preparation for some time.

South Sudan orders UN personnel, civilians to leave parts of Jonglei State
Some of the fiercest fighting has taken place in Jonglei, located in the country's east on the border with Ethiopia, where the South Sudan People's Defence Forces (SSPDF) is seeking to halt an offensive by fighters loyal to Sudan People's Liberation Army-in-Opposition (SPLA-IO). An operation code-named "operation enduring peace" was "imminent," the SSPDF said in a statement on Sunday.

Irish health workers think patients have been conditioned to accept “unacceptably low standard” of care
The research identifies high rates of understaffing and resulting pressure on workers, top-down communication, and faltering quality of care as some of the key problems. “Stress from understaffing and poor retention in the health and social sector contribute to a vicious circle that is draining the service, particularly of more senior, experienced workers,” the report states. “More than three quarters of survey respondents reported that they often think about leaving their current role.”

Lula, Trump discuss ‘Board of Peace’, agree to meet in Washington: Brazil
Lula also requested that Trump’s new proposal for a Board of Peace “be limited to the issue of Gaza and include a seat for Palestine”, as global powers worry the initiative launched last Thursday could assume a wider role and rival the United Nations. Lula also urged the “comprehensive reform of the United Nations, including the expansion of the permanent members of the Security Council”.

Ideology over technique – the Milei government’s banned glossary
The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional is not a one-off occurrence. Invisible lists of uncomfortable words have also started appearing at other state bodies. At the Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (National Agricultural Technology Institute or INTA), workers and unions denounced a ban or discouragement of such terms as: "agroecología" (“agroecology”), "sustentabilidad" (“sustainability”), "biodiversidad" (“biodiversity”), "huella de carbono" (“carbon footprint”), "género" (“gender”), Prohuerta (an Argentine pro-orchard programme) and "cambio climático" (“climate change”).

Honduran Feminists Fear Elimination of Equal Rights in Incoming Asfura’s Rule
Central America, a region with high levels of sexist violence, has suffered cuts in public institutions dedicated to women’s care in recent years. El Salvador, for example, banned the use of “inclusive language” in all public schools in the country, while in Panama the government has planned to eliminate the Ministry of Women as part of a restructuring of the State aimed at reducing public spending. Thousands of feminists marched this Sunday with slight clashes with the military through the center of Tegucigalpa to demand more rights in favor of equality and the cessation of sexist violence with banners showing the faces of missing or murdered women, batucadas, and purple flares (the color of the movement).

Anger as MSF agrees to Israel’s ‘unreasonable demands’: What to know
MSF said it faced an “impossible choice” to either provide the information or be forced by Israel to suspend its operations. On January 1, Israel withdrew the licences of 37 aid groups, including MSF, the Norwegian Refugee Council and International Rescue Committee and Oxfam, saying they failed to adhere to the new “security and transparency standards”. The measure could exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation for people in war-shattered Gaza, as they endure continued attacks.

Israel extends media restrictions under law targeting foreign broadcasters
The Israeli government on Monday approved orders to block access to the websites and YouTube channels of Qatar-based Al Jazeera and the Lebanese Al Mayadeen networks for 90 days. The measures extend the existing restrictions that ban the networks' television broadcasts within Israel. In a statement, Israel's Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said that he would "continue to remove the enemies of Israel from here".

Roumieh's Lebanese prisoners launch hunger strike over 'selective justice'
The prisoners called for a central sit-in at Riad al-Solh Square in downtown Beirut on Friday, 30 January 2026, at 12:30 p.m., under the slogan, "No to selective justice… Yes to transitional justice." In a video apparently recorded inside the prison, the Lebanese prisoners, joined by notorious Salafist cleric Ahmad al-Assir, delivered a message criticising the fact that "other detainees are left to suffer delays and procrastination," while the case of Syrian detainees is being discussed between officials from the two countries.

I consider myself a social-liberal. I've read and understood fairly well marxist literature (mostly read secundary sources though), aswell as most other polsci theory because of my degree.
I don't align with marxism mainly for 3 reasons that I'll formulate as questions:
>1. Why does the dialectical movement have to worsen the proletariat's lives
In essence, if material institutions change because they can't objectively and materially fulfill their purpose (i.e. a company that exists to make profits faces competition which lowers its profit rate), why would these changes and evolution incur a decline in the proletariat's condition and accentuate class antagonism ? I know marxist's economic theories, but they don't explain as to why the new institutions that would emerge from the old ones wouldn't be better.
For example, capitalism's crisis (a contradiction) have lead to the creation of better financial managing, which imo is a better thing than recurring crisis every 10 years.
>2. Why can't the state and different class interests agree on a mutual interest.
I understand that in marxist theory the state essentially only lives as a tool for the bourgeoisie to use. However, in the face of revolutions or class conflict, why couldn't both parties collaborate rather than face off ? Both the bourgeoisie and the proletariat can have an advantage in collaboration and mutual interest rather than pure conflict. I mean, in polsci theory this is the founding basis of the state.
>3. (and a bit more practical) Isn't the whole marxist linguo counter-productive to the ideal you hold ?
For instance, shouldn't you say "workplace democracy" rather than "abolishing private property", given the sentence's long history of being misinterpreted ? Same goes for the dictatorship of the proletariat, the exploitation theory etc.

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

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?

The people of the Islamic resistance (Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran) are some of the sober people on the planet. Just listen to what Nasrallah said about the US/Israel alliance, that Israel is in fact a US outpost and not the other way around and that Jews don't really control the world and such. Compare that to the schizophrenic western conspiracy theories about Jewish cabal.
Islam is the right ideology to fight western imperialism. Prove me wrong.

With how common data breaches are, it's not hard to argue that many peoples personal information is easy to obtain and abuse. If we could target common law property rights, the argument would be that personal data IS property of an individual. It's clear that data like SSN, biometrics, bank information, etc have market value (black market, data brokers), and misuse of this data can lead to financial damages for the individual.
By framing personal data as private property, this would create a fiduciary responsibly on any company or institution that requests and stores said personal data. This would make it far easier to litigate and seek policy changes regarding improper use of someone personal data property. Utilize capitalism shitty property law against itself.
Privacy through property law
The amount of surveillance cameras going up around us is insane. Just finished reading a book on property law in the US, and I have some ideas on how it could be used against data collection and surveillance from private companies.With how common data breaches are, it's not hard to argue that many peoples personal information is easy to obtain and abuse.

Defeat in Minnesota means I get to grill.
This is the lifetime test of mettle you have been waiting for. If revolutionary communists cannot expel ICE from Minnesota after ten years of Trumpism, then they have no organizational skills and should not be taken seriously. If they cannot defeat a fascist occupation of their own country, then they do not have any hope of ever leading a successful and violent revolution against the American bourgeoisie. If you fail this year, then every year after this year is guaranteed to be a failure. The rest of us will write you off and wait for your country to become a wasteland.

Is the moral argument for revolution in the first world that of internationalism?
There's problems in developed countries too, people locked up in cages, disappearances, massive inequality, including of schooling - even prevalent functional illiteracy, and healthcare. Am I stupid to think that it's not enough?
Or does morality have no place in power politics - that one arrives at revolutionary violence from rational choice overcoming false-consciousness? A hard sell given the material consequences.
Morality of Revolution

Colombia: Left-Wing Candidate Ivan Cepeda Leads The Polls Ahead Presidential Elections
The poll, which asked “if the presidential elections were tomorrow, who would you vote for?”, without suggesting names, shows Senator Paloma Valencia in third place with a distant 3%, from the Democratic Center party, founded by former president Álvaro Uribe (2002-2010), while the former mayor of Medellín, Sergio Fajardo, who appeared in third place in other polls as the standard-bearer of the center, falls to seventh place, with only 1%.

Weapons flow to RSF via Libya continue despite pressure on Haftar
Weapons continue to flow from Libya to Sudan despite Saudi and Egyptian pressure on Khalifa Haftar to stop Emirati military support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Middle East Eye has learned. Earlier this week, MEE reported that the eastern Libya commander is coming under growing pressure from Cairo and Riyadh, which have warned that continued assistance could trigger a serious shift in Egypt’s relationship with him.

United Arab Emirates plans to bankroll first ‘planned community’ in south Gaza
Within the first Rafah community, billed as a “case study”, planners envision several efforts to prevent the influence of Hamas, including the introduction of electronic shekel wallets “to mitigate the diversion of goods and funds to the Hamas financial channels”, and a school curriculum that will “not be Hamas-based”, but supplied by the UAE. Planners also specify that residents will be permitted to “enter and exit the neighborhood freely, subject to security checks to prevent the introduction of weapons and hostile elements”.

Meanwhile, two men called at the home of former army officer-turned YouTuber Adil Raja in Chesham, to the northwest of London, and tried to force entry. Raja, who was convicted in absentia in January of terrorism-related offences linked to online support for Khan, was not there at the time.

How does America collapses and then a continuation of that geographical pole of economic influence doesn't appear again? What exactly is the way that the continental mass that was once called the United States of America doesn't become, by virtue of their natural resources, industrial machinery and population, an economic powerhouse again?
I personally think that the way to stop this would be for a socialist America to happen, that way, an imperial, capitalist nation won't take its place, but in order for that to happen we would need a proletariat revolution to take its place which automatically implies that the American working class is revolutionary.

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?

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.

On Friday, United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement that he had spoken to Fils-Aime and “emphasised the importance of his continued tenure as Haiti’s Prime Minister to combat terrorist gangs and stabilise the island”. Rubio added that the TPC “must be dissolved by February 7 without corrupt actors seeking to interfere in Haiti’s path to elected governance for their own gains”.

Mexico weighs stopping oil shipments to Cuba amid concerns of Trump retaliation, sources say
Publicly, Sheinbaum has said Mexico will continue oil shipments to Cuba, saying they are based on longterm contracts and considered international aid. But the senior Mexican government sources said the policy is under internal review as anxiety grows within Sheinbaum's cabinet that the shipments could antagonize Trump. Mexico is trying to negotiate a review of the USMCA North American trade pact, while also persuading Washington it is doing enough to combat drug cartels and that U.S. military action against the groups on Mexican territory is neither welcome nor needed.

US threatens to starve Iraq of its oil dollars over Iranian influence, sources say
The U.S. warning was delivered repeatedly over the past two months by the U.S. Charge d'Affaires in Baghdad, Joshua Harris, in conversations with Iraqi officials and influential Shia leaders, according to three Iraqi officials and one source familiar with the matter who spoke to Reuters for this story. The message was delivered to some heads of Iran-linked groups via intermediaries, they said.

UAE abruptly cuts aid to vital hospitals after withdrawing from Yemen
UAE-funded hospitals played a vital role for Yemenis after more than a decade of conflict had damaged public health infrastructure and left many unable to afford private healthcare. Patients from far and wide sought these these facilities in search of high-quality, free healthcare. Many undertake long journeys to access specialised surgeries that are unavailable in public hospitals and prohibitively expensive in private clinics.

Australian, Palestinian lawyers seek police probe of Israeli president
Three Australian and Palestinian legal groups have formally called on the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to investigate Israeli President Isaac Herzog for his role in alleged war crimes amid reports he will visit Australia early next month. The organisations said on Friday that they had written to “urgently alert” the AFP of their concerns “in light of serious and credible criminal allegations of incitement to genocide and advocating genocide” by President Isaac Herzog during Israel’s “military onslaught” in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

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.

Reading comprehension surrounding nazism
One confusing aspect of nazism in the modern and Cold War era day is the hysterical avoidance of recognition of the primary objective of the original German nazi party, the total conquest and erasure of all non German european people. These people included but not limited to, polish people, anyone registering as Slavic, British people, Spaniards, Italians, non Germanic birds, Romani peoples, Romanians, Greeks, Turks depending on whether you consider turkey European, and a few others. This was explicitly outlined in the manifesto of the Nazi party mein kampf that genocide of these groups was the first priority of the German Nazi party, it was also implicitly outlined that the nazis saught to recreate at least on a more philosophical level the British empires expansion in the new world and in african, oceanic, and Asian colonies in European territory.I’m amazed by how many misinterpretations or outright false claims surrounding the nazis objectives there are from myths of European unification to the genuine belief that genocide was not the first priority of the Nazi party.

However, you hear of the increased growth of tomatoes, for example, in Mexico, because of their comparative advantage, and of impressive manufacturing sector in things like automobiles and even increasingly electronics. These are remarkable things. In the big picture as an internationalist you have to support them here, to the extent to which you thank trade for these things.
On the other side of the deal you read just as many stories today of towns wiped off the map by deindustrialization, and that even though productivity has increased employment for these high-value added has declined without end. This is the issue with trade in at least the Anglo-sphere, and once upon a time the former Soviet Union at the minimum: deindustrialization. I know it's likely somewhat controversial to discuss these two groups together, and it might be a mistake, but the inquiry stands.
I'd like to discuss what's the problem with deindustrialization, and how does it relate to trade?
Internationalist Trade Policy
When I was a kid I remember reading about rural agriculturalists in Mexico who after the signing of NAFTA found themselves priced out, for the production of corn I think, and forced into migration or poverty. I also recall hearing that the TPP (and apparently NAFTA), operated largely to enforce "corporate rights" as persons, or even more, in the imperial periphery, beyond the lowering of tariffs. In these details there can be nothing but opposition.However, you hear of the increased growth of tomatoes, for example, in Mexico, because of their comparative advantage, and of impressive manufacturing sector in things like automobiles and even increasingly electronics.

Groups of persons against drug prohibition ought to have formal wear such as suits or other types of uniforms to be able to combat the influence from formal authorities.
A crowd of casual clothed, hippie-wannabe, exhibitionist freaks cannot persuade a conservative populace towards siding with them.
For all public appearances I strongly advise from my thorough research in crowd psychology that any drug advocacy public appearances should be done in formal wear, modest uniforms or at the very least the extent to which a person can attend with their best most tidy clothing.
Do not go out looking like a junkie / outcast / freak. It will only harm you when recorded and the broader scene. It is completely counterintuitive to attempt to revive failed countercultural movements or attend with an "IDGAF" attitude.
Drug advocates are already ostracized by the lumpen and reactionary majorities, PR with everyday clothing will not serve to try to "normalize" or "blend in". When a prohibitionist dresses leisurely their opinion is taken in normally, when a drug advocate dresses leisurely they are always going to end up being ridiculed and degraded. It would not be as easy for the opposition to degrade persons or call them "degenerate, jobless, bums, junkies" and such when faced with a crowd of people in uniforms / suits and formal wear.
It is strongly advisory to look like a WASP in order to combat WASPs.
Study the strategies of the opposition. See how conservative content creators in public speeches have for years farmed millions if not billions of views off of the contrast of a "principled man versus gender freak abomination" - Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, TFP Student action etc.
If you don't hold a formal appearance in a public event odds are you will be turned into a lolcow for content farming, guaranteed if you do not behave yourself, speak loudly / obnoxiously, have a meltdown and/or are generally unprepared to speak on the subject of the event. To be able to counter any opposition on a subject of interest a person must learn their opposition by mentally pretending to be a part of it (as the saying goes, put yourself in their shoes) in order to predict all the possible arguments and traps they could lay out and how they could be countered.
I have personally taken the task of studying various religious fanatics and secular conservative vermin for the country in which I reside - those of who will surely arise as opposition if there is potential change to come in the matter of mobilization against drug prohibition.
It is a tedious process of LARPing and imagining oneself as part of it the opposition to understand it but also most importantly - reading and studying all material provided by the opposition.
It is highly encouraged to read and become used to reading texts unfavorable to one's worldview to be able to understand and dismantle them by ruthless criticism.
We are not in a stage where anything meaningful can be done, drug users and producers as well as other persons interested are atomized and not united in functioning groups and networks enough.
The few groups that exist around the world are often controlled opposition that boil down to calling for reforms for decades and only serve in practice as controlled opposition to the WOD and the nations that implemented it. The structure of said groups is broadly unfavorable to combatting drug prohibition (NGOs, Advocacy, MLM schemes, hippie cults and broadly useless liberal reformists), it may be beneficial to only interact with them as to draw in the decent persons involved in the bottom layers of said groups to form entirely separate new ones.
Bring an end to handmade DIY signs, become a proficient person to influence.
Engineer threatening slogans that cannot be parodied.
A stern attitude is the perfect approach to public demonstrations.
The goal of public appearances should not be to try to persuade criminal gangster governments to get on your side, they ought to be to persuade the sympathetic persons and create sympathizers to expand organizations.
All of the criminal gangster governments cannot be persuaded to simply end prohibition in the interest of the public, they are only interested in profit and prohibition serves to be most profitable to their activity.
There is no need to have faith, but there is a great benefit to fanaticism in faith of inevitable victory, what WOD warriors must be reminded by proselytizing is that they will disappear sooner or later, drug prohibition cannot remain forever, every war meets its end, once drug prohibition is over the prohibitionists and their sympathizers will be punished severely beyond their imagination for all their wrongdoings in ways they will not be martyred for or saved by their beliefs, there will be no continuity for their beliefs and their prophecies aligning with the view of a "drug free world" will not come to fruition as long as humanity exists and as long as beings exist.
The end of drug prohibition may or may not come to be in our lifetimes, it is highly unlikely that it will come to be in our lifetimes, but it is highly likely it will come for the majority of the rest of the species' existence. The period of this drug prohibition that continues to be a stain in history as the stunted development of the species is to eventually be wiped clean or forever memorized in its failure.
Even if humanity is to completely annihilate itself without ending drug prohibition, drugs and organisms that interact with them will surely remain, as chemistry and botany forever unfold.
Where matter exists, chemistry exists; where biology includes plants, botany exists.
Drugs will exist as long as matter and existence does.
Towards a union of drug producers, consumers and sympathizers in interest. For a worldwide fraternity towards a greater civilization. Death to the war on drugs.
Samples of communiques
Drug user liberation advocates ought to hold a formal appearance instead of trying to look like hippies, all these demonstrations make the drug users look retarded in comparison to any uniformed opposition.Groups of persons against drug prohibition ought to have formal wear such as suits or other types of uniforms to be able to combat the influence from formal authorities.
A crowd of casual clothed, hippie-wannabe, exhibitionist freaks cannot persuade a conservative populace towards siding with them.
For all public appearances I strongly advise from my thorough research in crowd psychology that any drug advocacy public appearances should be done in formal wear, modest uniforms or at the very least the extent to which a person can attend with their best most tidy clothing.
Do not go out looking like a junkie / outcast / freak. It will only harm you when recorded and the broader scene. It is completely counterintuitive to attempt to revive failed countercultural movements or attend with an "IDGAF" attitude.
Drug advocates are already ostracized by the lumpen and reactionary majorities, PR with everyday clothing will not serve to try to "normalize" or "blend in". When a prohibitionist dresses leisurely their opinion is taken in normally, when a drug advocate dresses leisurely they are always going to end up being ridiculed and degraded. It would not be as easy for the opposition to degrade persons or call them "degenerate, jobless, bums, junkies" and such when faced with a crowd of people in uniforms / suits and formal wear.
It is strongly advisory to look like a WASP in order to combat WASPs.
Study the strategies of the opposition. See how conservative content creators in public speeches have for years farmed millions if not billions of views off of the contrast of a "principled man versus gender freak abomination" - Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, TFP Student action etc.
If you don't hold a formal appearance in a public event odds are you will be turned into a lolcow for content farming, guaranteed if you do not behave yourself, speak loudly / obnoxiously, have a meltdown and/or are generally unprepared to speak on the subject of the event. To be able to counter any opposition on a subject of interest a person must learn their opposition by mentally pretending to be a part of it (as the saying goes, put yourself in their shoes) in order to predict all the possible arguments and traps they could lay out and how they could be countered.
I have personally taken the task of studying various religious fanatics and secular conservative vermin for the country in which I reside - those of who will surely arise as opposition if there is potential change to come in the matter of mobilization against drug prohibition.
It is a tedious process of LARPing and imagining oneself as part of it the opposition to understand it but also most importantly - reading and studying all material provided by the opposition.

Before some illiterate dumbass takes this as lazy "sectarianism", this was the key issue the Communist International meant to settle. 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.

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.

Of the 720 EU lawmakers, 565 showed up to vote. Only 165 backed toppling the Commission, with 390 voting against and 10 abstaining. Von der Leyen was not in Strasbourg for the vote.

Burnham by-election prospect rattles Labour
The crisis erupted after it became known that Andrew Gwynne, MP for Gorton and Denton in Manchester, was preparing to resign, triggering a by-election. Mr Gwynne has been suspended from Labour for a year after offensive WhatsApp messages emerged. It is understood he has reached agreement with Commons authorities to retire on grounds of ill health. Downing Street will likely mobilise to block any candidacy by Mr Burnham, who has made little secret of his ambitions and has kept up a running commentary on the government’s shortcomings in recent months.

Venezuela moves to open up oil sector to private investors as demanded by Trump
Less than three weeks after the US seized President Nicolas Maduro in an armed raid, MPs endorsed on first reading a bill allowing private companies to independently engage in oil exploration and extraction. If adopted on a second reading, the bill would roll back decades of state controls over Venezuela's oil sector, which were tightened by Maduro's late mentor, socialist firebrand Hugo Chavez, in the mid-2000s.

Two popular Tunisian journalists handed three-year jail terms
Bssaies and Zghidi were first jailed in May 2024 on charges of “spreading false news” under Tunisia’s controversial Decree Law 54 against cybercrime. Press rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said the journalists’ “only ‘crime’ was to comment on and criticise political decisions” by Saied. Before serving their eight-month sentence, Tunisia’s judiciary brought additional tax-related charges, which the journalists’ defence says are based on routine tax matters.

Left parties in India insist government should not join Trump’s Gaza “Board of Peace”
Left parties in India called upon the central government not to join the so-called Board of Peace launched by the US as part of President Donald Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza, claiming it would be a betrayal to Palestinians and antithetical to the country’s long-term commitments to the UN. “India’s participation in such a Board, which does not respect Palestinian rights, would constitute a grave betrayal of the Palestinian cause,” the country’s five major left parties claimed in a joint statement issued on Wednesday, January 21.

Assassin of Japan's former PM Abe sentenced to life in prison
Prosecutors sought a life sentence, calling the shooting an "extremely grave incident that is unprecedented in post-war history". The defence argued for a lesser sentence of no more than 20 years, citing family issues linked to the Unification Church which motivated the shooting. Yamagami's defence team said after the trial that they plan to consult with the defendant to decide whether to appeal to a higher court.

The Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 45 of Tacloban City, Leyte, on Thursday, January 22, convicted 26-year-old journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio and 28-year-old lay worker Marielle Domequil in their terrorism financing case but acquitted them in their illegal possession of firearms and explosives case. Cumpio and Domequil have been in detention since 2020. “Today, Judge Georgina Perez of RTC Branch 45 chose to prolong the suffering of Ate Maye, Ate Frenchie, our family, and fellow human rights workers,” said Domequil’s sister, Kyle, who is also the convenor and spokesperson of the Free Tacloban 5 Network.

Two popular Tunisian journalists handed three-year jail terms
Bssaies and Zghidi were first jailed in May 2024 on charges of “spreading false news” under Tunisia’s controversial Decree Law 54 against cybercrime. Press rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said the journalists’ “only ‘crime’ was to comment on and criticise political decisions” by Saied. Before serving their eight-month sentence, Tunisia’s judiciary brought additional tax-related charges, which the journalists’ defence says are based on routine tax matters.

Left parties in India insist government should not join Trump’s Gaza “Board of Peace”
Left parties in India called upon the central government not to join the so-called Board of Peace launched by the US as part of President Donald Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza, claiming it would be a betrayal to Palestinians and antithetical to the country’s long-term commitments to the UN. “India’s participation in such a Board, which does not respect Palestinian rights, would constitute a grave betrayal of the Palestinian cause,” the country’s five major left parties claimed in a joint statement issued on Wednesday, January 21.

Assassin of Japan's former PM Abe sentenced to life in prison
Prosecutors sought a life sentence, calling the shooting an "extremely grave incident that is unprecedented in post-war history". The defence argued for a lesser sentence of no more than 20 years, citing family issues linked to the Unification Church which motivated the shooting. Yamagami's defence team said after the trial that they plan to consult with the defendant to decide whether to appeal to a higher court.

Journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio convicted of terror financing
The Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 45 of Tacloban City, Leyte, on Thursday, January 22, convicted 26-year-old journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio and 28-year-old lay worker Marielle Domequil in their terrorism financing case but acquitted them in their illegal possession of firearms and explosives case. Cumpio and Domequil have been in detention since 2020. “Today, Judge Georgina Perez of RTC Branch 45 chose to prolong the suffering of Ate Maye, Ate Frenchie, our family, and fellow human rights workers,” said Domequil’s sister, Kyle, who is also the convenor and spokesperson of the Free Tacloban 5 Network.

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?

Colombian Energy Minister Edwin Palma blasted the tariffs as "economic aggression" in a social media post, saying he had ordered the dismantling of a recent initiative to allow private firms to take part in energy sales between both countries to limit potential scarcity. "Colombia has acted with facts, cooperation, and solidarity," he said, noting Colombia provides 8% to 10% of Ecuador's power consumption. "That is why dialogue between nations is essential, not unilateral measures that only harm our peoples," he added.

Venezuelan Banks Receive 300M from US-Administered Crude Sales, Gov’t Officials Defend Oil Reform
According to Ecoanalítica, Banesco, BBVA Provincial, Banco Mercantil, and Banco Nacional de Crédito offered a combined $150 million to customers on Tuesday via foreign exchange auctions, with the rest of the funds expected to be made available by the end of the week. Unofficial reports suggested that private sector importers in the food and healthcare sectors would be given priority. Analyst Alejandro Grisanti stated that the dollars were purchased slightly below 400 bolívars (BsD) per USD. Unlike in prior exchange tables, the banks were not obliged to use the official exchange rate set by the Central Bank, which stands currently at 347 BsD per USD.

Israel's imports of Azerbaijani oil via Turkey jump despite Ankara's trade ban
Turkey does not control where Azerbaijani oil pumped through the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline is sold, but said in November 2024 that exporters using Ceyhan "respected its decision to end trade with Israel" and oil was not being loaded with Israel as the destination. However, Kpler data shows that Israel's imports of Azerbaijani crude from Ceyhan jumped 31 percent year on year to 94,000 barrels per day in 2025 - the highest since 2022 and widening a its lead over Russia, Israel's second-largest supplier.

Trump cancels tariff threat over Greenland, says NATO agreed to ‘framework’ of future Arctic deal
The abrupt about-face emerged hours after Trump had insisted that he wants to “get Greenland, including right, title and ownership,” but said he would not use force to do so while deriding European allies and vowing that NATO should not try to block U.S. expansionism. In an extraordinary speech at the World Economic Forum, the president said he was asking for territory that was “cold and poorly located.” He said the U.S. had effectively saved Europe during World War II and even declared of NATO: “It’s a very small ask compared to what we have given them for many, many decades.”

Is that really necessary?” He later said that if the one or two days of recovery time not requiring a doctor’s note were taken into account the figure would be even larger.

The PSTA defines terrorism in broad and vague terms that can be easily interpreted and used to suppress the fundamental democratic rights of the masses. Section 3 of the draft bill defines terrorist acts as those that “provoke a state of terror,” “intimidate the public or any section of the public,” or “compel the Government of Sri Lanka, any other government, or an international organisation to do or abstain from doing any act.”

India is profiling Kashmir mosques, raising new surveillance fears
One page of the form collects information about the mosque itself, seeking information about the “ideological sect” it belongs to, the year it was founded, its sources of funding, monthly expenditure, the number of people it can congregate, and details on ownership of the land on which the structure stands. The remaining three pages collect personal details of the people – imams, muezzins, khatibs and others – associated with the mosque, including their mobile numbers, emails, passport, credit card and bank account details. The more insidious columns in the form ask the respondents to declare if they have relatives abroad, the “outfit” they are associated with, or even the model of their mobile phone and their social media handles.

One page of the form collects information about the mosque itself, seeking information about the “ideological sect” it belongs to, the year it was founded, its sources of funding, monthly expenditure, the number of people it can congregate, and details on ownership of the land on which the structure stands. The remaining three pages collect personal details of the people – imams, muezzins, khatibs and others – associated with the mosque, including their mobile numbers, emails, passport, credit card and bank account details. The more insidious columns in the form ask the respondents to declare if they have relatives abroad, the “outfit” they are associated with, or even the model of their mobile phone and their social media handles.

Why is Europe so servile?
I as an American always understood that the reason was that in exchange for being social democracies they can basically just be giant banks for the US to store its plunder that it gets for fucking over the 3rd world. But recently Trump has been trying to take Greenland and give up Ukraine and basically Vassalize the rest of Europe, and I have no idea why the leaders are still okay with this and why they wont do anything other than say "Pwease no tag Gweenland 👉👈 🥺" like Trump wont do that domestically when Tim Walz asks him not to deploy ICE, so its not a far stretch that he wont invade Greenland. Why are these European leaders so cucked? Even Belarus which brags about not being sucked to America is cucked to Russia at the end of the day.

Luxembourg mid af
Rosa Luxembourg is the most overrated over-glazed communist of all time. In every dispute/difference she had with Lenin, history demonstrated her wrong. Theoretical or practical, nothing of value. It makes me wonder how such a naive person could become one of the Leaders of the German Communists.

It seems socialism has another major vulnerability and that is that Marx‘s method of analysis, dialectical materialism, can not predict the emergence of classes for a radically new system. It can seemingly only identify a class a posteriori, but by then it‘s already too late. What‘s the point of overcoming the near insurmountable challenge of overcoming capitalism just to end up with another system with classes, which implies another revolution would be necessary to overcome that one in return? Think the Soviet Union and its bureaucracy. It will be challenging to radically overcome it as well.
What‘s the solution for that? This either means we have to content with the fact that achieving communism has an even lower success rate than what you would make out from how hard it is to overcome capitalism, because an unknown amount of new class based systems are ahead of us that will each require another revolution, or Marxian analysis will be sufficiently expanded upon to be able to predict the emergence of new classes a priori for a system yet to be implemented. Perhaps anarcho-communists are right and you need to strip the state and hierarchy straight away.

The Leningrad Affair
An overlooked affair. I used to dismiss it by simply believing the western narrative that it was Stalin's paranoid manipulations to consolidate his grip over Leningrad. The Russian nationalist accusation in particular sounded like absolute nonsense. However, after better understanding the late 80s and early 90s, and how the nationalists pretty much used the Party and the State to precisely dissolve the Party and the State in order to further their sick nationalist fantasies, I started to reconsider.Anons!

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.

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

In their terminally online struggles, multipolaristas mistake inter-imperialist squabbles for the forward march of history. You cheer for a "multipolar world" and the "decline of the West," paying respect to the very idealism Marx and Engels went over in the German Ideology. Worse yet, you imagine Stalin as a patron saint of your geopolitical game of Risk.
But Stalin was not a diplomat of the status quo. He looks upon Putin and Xi and sees not a counter-weight to American hegemony, but a farce.

i find that a lot of leftist discourse is very idealistic, like "X won't exist in our perfect communist society so engaging with it is counter-revolutionary", ie "sex work won't exist, so there's no need to engage with it" or "small businesses won't exist so engaging with them is wrong" or "drugs will be banned under communism, so engaging with the people who consume them is wrong"
This makes for easy theory posting and internet debates, but is really bad for actually engaging in material real world praxis because we do not live under the society we want to create, and the time it will take to create the envisioned society is literally multiple lifetimes, ie even if revolution happened tomorrow, the task of creating the society we want doesn't end, if anything, that's when it really begins. it's this idea that communism is a static utopia that will mysteriously happen in the future. This line of thinking ignores that communism will emerge dialectically from the contradictions of capitalism. This utopianism is ultimately the very counter-revolutionary thought it claims to defend against.
my honest opinion is that engaging in utopianism is significantly easier than engaging in materialism, especially if one is constrained by their material conditions, or consumed by a sense of hopeless nihilism. I think that's also why I piss people off so much, because there's proof that I've been able to *something*, and any amount of *something* is more than nothing, and that's in spite of my own material conditions being well, poverty and struggle. Which means that someone who has more comfort, more resources, more stability should be able engage in praxis too, but the fear of action paralyzes. Praxis means working with imperfect allies, making tactical compromises, making mistakes, failing, being embarrassed, taking losses, trying new things, applying theory dialetically and getting dirty. Utopianism keeps your hands clean and your theory pure. People with clean hands are disgusted by people with dirty ones.
the only thing standing between the comfortable leftist and material praxis is their own choice.

According to local SOHR sources, smuggling networks took advantage of the security chaos and withdrawal of SDF to smuggle detaineea through several routes.

Jerusalem churches denounce Christian Zionism as betrayal of faith
Christians made up around 12.5 percent of the population of historic Palestine before 1948, compared with roughly 1.2 percent today across Israel and the occupied territories. During the war on Gaza, churches were repeatedly bombed and at least 44 Palestinian Christians were killed, according to the committee. Zionist organisations, some of them funded by the Israeli government, including Ataret Cohanim, continue efforts to take control of church-owned properties near the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City, close to the Christian and Armenian quarters.

Jerusalem churches denounce Christian Zionism as betrayal of faith
Christians made up around 12.5 percent of the population of historic Palestine before 1948, compared with roughly 1.2 percent today across Israel and the occupied territories. During the war on Gaza, churches were repeatedly bombed and at least 44 Palestinian Christians were killed, according to the committee. Zionist organisations, some of them funded by the Israeli government, including Ataret Cohanim, continue efforts to take control of church-owned properties near the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City, close to the Christian and Armenian quarters.

‘They’re emboldened’: British far-right activists step up harassment of asylum seekers in northern France
French groups supporting asylum seekers also say that water tanks, which they provide for asylum seekers who have difficulty accessing other sources of water, are being vandalised and damaged, making them unusable. Asylum seekers who have had unwelcome visits to their sleeping spaces by far-right activists have insisted that although they are fearful, they refuse to rise to the bait when the activists goad them.

Denominations and classes within the proleteriat
Can someone tell me about whether there are classes inside the proletariat other than the lumpenproletariat, the labor aristocracy, and the managerial class? Is there a pyramid for it? Is there a similar differentiation on the classes constituting the bourgeoisie? What'd the lower middle class be defined, as a term? Can someone tell me more about the view on the middle class in general?

Minor clashes between SDF & STG.
STG attempts to capture Omar Omson, the leader of a French foreign Islamist faction accused of kidnapping women, at his base in Idlib countryside. They fail and come to a truce.
More clashes between SDF & STG.
Small anti-Alawite pogrom in Homs caused by the murder of two Sunnis there, despite STG investigation revealing that there was no sectarian motive to the murder.
Protests by Alawites in the coastal region in response to the pogrom. Multiple deaths among protestors, counter-protestors and STG security forces.
Multiple deaths among US soldiers during a joint STG-US patrol in Palmyra. The attacker infiltrated and was a part of the STG's MoI and was with the patrol.
The STG-SDF conflict escalates. SDF agrees to withdraw from Deir Hafer in exchange for a ceasefire, but the STG & tribal auxiliaries keep advancing despite the ceasefire. Revolts by Arab tribes inside of the SDF and them losing a lot of territory makes them sign an integration agreement that basically amounts to capitulation.

Conversely, when a cishet white person kills someone, even if it's someone they allege to care about, they shrug their shoulders and think nothing of it. White guy shot my husband? Well it wasn't a trans so I don't really care anymore. White guy shooting citizens in their cars without consequence? Whatever, at least I see fewer brown people outside. My own child dies because I didn't get them vaccinated against measles? Well, that was my decision, and I'm white, so who cares? Half my family drowns or starves because the president tricked me into refusing disaster aid? Why should I care, rich white people can do whatever they want! And don't even get me started on their military cuckoldry fixation.
What do you even call this phenomenon? Psychopathy? Extreme NPC Syndrome? It's hard to even believe that people like this are real, let alone such a large percentage of the population.
Right Wing Apathy to Death
I've come to the conclusion that right wingers (especially American ones) are completely indifferent to the idea of them or anyone they care about being killed. You might see them fearmongering about it every time there's a minority in the news for doing something violent, but they react that way any time a minority is in the news for any reason, good or bad. Or on TV at all. Or even just out on the street. It's the fact that they're forced to be reminded that minorities exist at all that is truly making them lash out.Conversely, when a cishet white person kills someone, even if it's someone they allege to care about, they shrug their shoulders and think nothing of it.

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.

A central pillar of the ceasefire deal revolves around the integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces into Syrian state institutions. Under the truce deal, SDF fighters and security personnel are to be individually vetted before being integrated into Syria’s defence and interior ministries. Civilian institutions that were previously administered by branches of the SDF are also stipulated to be absorbed into state structures, per the agreement. Al-Sharaa said that the current ceasefire plan remains in line with the 10 March agreement, which called for the integration of all civil and military institutions to be under the control of Damascus.

The prospect of such a tax cut, which the government estimates would reduce its revenue by 5 trillion yen ($32 billion) a year, sent the yield on Japan's 10-year government bonds to a 27-year high earlier on Monday.

High Court dismisses legal challenge to the use of pepper spray in YOIs
She promised a two-year halt to a consumption tax of 8% on food, adding that her spending plans would create jobs, boost household spending and increase other tax revenues. The prospect of such a tax cut, which the government estimates would reduce its revenue by 5 trillion yen ($32 billion) a year, sent the yield on Japan's 10-year government bonds to a 27-year high earlier on Monday.

Consequentialism
It doesn't matter if everyone has to wear red on Tuesdays, or sing Maoist songs at their workplaces. So long as everyone does it there's no material consequences. The moment actions start to change the material conditions of man, or the structure of power they become significant. Is there room any longer for: peace, freedom, equity, and fairness? Spooks. The moral principles and value to institutions which have made our social fabric have run their course. Only power and material conditions remain.

The Historical Dominance of Reaction
I'm black pilling hard right now guys, fact is that it isnt just Trump. Its Putin, Xi, The fall of the Entire Eastern block. The imprisonment of Maduro. The fall of Argentina to Mile. The genocide of Gaza and and the total impotence of the Israeli left. The 9000 lives of US hydras in Syria, where whoever wins, the USA is always one of them! The death of Rojava. Iran (just like Iran generally). The left is systemically spasmodic and I think it might be nothing more than the tremors one experiences at death. I cant help but feel that the left has failed utterly and is dead.

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

Anyone noticed how when it's election time in the US advocating to vote third party is dismissed on the basis of them not having enough traction but inbetween elections (like now) nobody is working to build popularity for third parties for election season? What's up with that? The Republicans are deranged MAGAts and the Democrats are utter useless pussies and EVEN NOW you can't work to build traction for a third party? So you guys are just waiting to cynically vote for the Democrats in two years? Or perhaps you will abstain from voting altogether because of whatever impotent principle you cling to.
Honestly, what the fuck are Amerifats even doing?

Losing Islamist Iran period means losing Iraq to a power vacuum.
Losing Islamist Iran to communists is doomsday scenario for capitalists, the resource rich region is filled with unpopular regimes and immiserated workers. Iran and Iraq (the most susceptible for revolution) alone make up a quarter of the world oil supply. The stakes are too high to allow an unpredictable mass movement (that cannot be entirely controlled) to overthrow the regime.
Iran poses zero threat to western imperialism, in fact in places like Iraq and Lebanon it is the lever that is maintaining it. Decades of wheeling and dealing through backchannels have exposed this myth for what it is - a false dichotomy that sets the ideological framework for US and Iranian imperialism in the region, so-called "Axis of Resistance" and "Forces of Order"
Does this mean they're in agreement on everything and Iran is secretly run by da juice? Of course not, that's conspiratorial and Kautskyist nonsense. They're united in so far as their class interests meet, mostly in suppressing workers and maintaining the status quo.
Will this last forever? No, eventually a war will break out due to capital's growing contradictions and the need to counter overproduction through destruction. The region and the world broadly have yet to fall into designated camps for such event to happen, that will spark the a third global imperialist war.
Don't fall into this false dichotomy, or prepare to be disappointed. Learn from the communist parties in the region who have reached this conclusion.

How do I stop America from the inside
I am genuinely worried about the current state of the America. They are trying to take all neighboring countries and former territories like Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal, then remove remove all cold-war-era independent countries like Cuba and Iran, Then completely Vassalize the rest of Europe and NATO and turn them all into giant Kosovos. The goal here is to starve China until it collapses and then America can usher in a Techno-Fuedelist-Fascist world order. This is not gonna work obviously but I would still like to do something from within because all American Leftists need to lock in.

From my understanding, it essentially amounts to :
>matter determines everything
>material structures create opposing forces/conflict
>the resolution of the conflict makes history progress
So, I understand that the conflicts created by capitalism generate socialism. But is that actually necessary ? And does the dialectic boil down to a logical tool for analysis ? I don't know I've read the capital and the manifesto and the terms don't really appear (albeit the broad structure is there ig), yet everyone always talks about it.
And lastly, book rec ? I'm not trying to find something super lengthy, just enough to understand the concept in a clear way (what it serves, how it works precisely etc)
Wtf is dialectical materialism ?

A lot of people on the internet are usually doomers that think "the modern prole is brainwashed he'll never achieve class. Consciouaness!", but that is not true. I've meet self-proclaimed conservatives agree with many fundamentals of socialism while not even knowing what the word means.
I think all you have to do is be reasonably respected, use understandable terms, and most importantly, use solid IRL examples they see everyday in their life for reference, because its literally undeniable at that point if they see the exploitation in their own lives.
For example to explain the unnecessary nature of capitalism/consumerism use this:
"Isn't it crazy how there's factories still producing X in the modern day? Imagine how much better the world would be if those factories went towards literally anything useful for society like housing, food, etc".
Or for something like surplus value use this:
"If you think about it, corporate profit is literally just theft. If i produce a X for my company i get payed 20 dollars, but my boss gets a profit of 100 dollars, that means he's taking 80% of my hard earned cash without contributing at all to it, thats literally his only job".

This is what Marx himself said about the difficulty of Capital. People demand that everything be immediately understandable and approachable. Marx talks about communism enabling an all sided development of the individual. Modern marxists find reading too difficult for them and will not do anything to rectify this.
My impression is that people want Marx to say something else, to confirm their own biases. This leads to "muh dialectical contradiction!" and Marx (and everyone else) suddenly becomes an incoherent schizophrenic, who needs to be explained by other morons. It doesn't help that leftist spaces are dominated by children online, college students and petty bourgeois weirdos who all demonstrably put forth their own middle class interests and everyone is just too lazy and stupid to read Marx and Lenin, their way of reading Marx being the exact same way that creationists will read Darwin. Not understanding the argument, not understanding the year or the context. The fact that Mao is considered easier to read than Marx even though he's nothing but retarded bourgeois platitudes and incoherent philosophical gibberish, just reveals their own class position and what they actually want to say.

Specifically I was looking for something which while maintaining distributed capital markets also gets rid of rewards for nonproductive actors. I didn't exactly find this, but I did find Roerner's Equal Shares proposal this follows:
>Every adult citizen would receive from the state treasury an equal endowment of coupons, that can be used only to purchase shares of mutual funds. Only coupons can be used to purchase shares of mutual funds, not money. Only mutual funds can purchase shares of public firms, using coupons. Prices of corporate shares and mutual funds are, hence, denominated in coupons; they will oscillate depending on the supply and demand for shares. Citizens are free to sell their mutual-fund shares for coupons, and to reinvest the coupons in other mutual funds. Finally, firms may exchange coupons with the state treasury for investment funds, and may purchase coupons from the treasury with money. This is the only point at which coupons exchange for money. These investment funds play the role of equity in the firm. (p. 20)
>A share of a firm entitles the owning mutual fund to a share of the firm's profits, and a share of a mutual fund entitles the owning citizen to a share of the mutual fund's revenues. When a citizen dies, his mutual fund shares must be sold and the coupon revenues are returned to the state treasury. The treasury in turn issues coupon endowments to citizens reaching the age of majority. (p. 20)
Anyway this proposal seemed to get reasonably close to what I was "looking for". I'm still not sure however if it's productive to advertise this sort of thing to others. Is it a useful strategy to build these sort of concrete programs. Further about this plan in particular is it really what anyone is after? Is there an effective even more reform minded solution that still removes rewards for unproductive actors - or at least as this one does makes such rewards equal?

What made classic Leftypol good is that we were able to present Socialist content for normies that would be shared by Zoomers and such. So I think a good project for us on this board, would be to work How the World Works (https://libgen.rocks/ads.php?md5=0f775aef8cbe24a8978e115669bfcdfb) into a decent Youtube series that explains how we can build a new economic order in the not too distant future.
Cockshott is probably the best Socialist theorist of our age
he's completely BTFO'ed all arguments against Marx's Law of Value, he's empirically proven that Economic Planning is 100% possible with current data sets and modern computation, he's shown that current economic theory is based on complete woo that doesn't hold up to basic mathematical scrutiny or even basic logic.The thing is, because all his online content is extremely complex, technical post-grad level university lectures, it's hard to get his idea's out there.

"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.

The warning was issued in a series of Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) issued by the FAA. They say, “Potential risks exist for aircraft at all altitudes, including during overflight and the arrival and departure phases of flight.” The alerts are in effect for 60 days. Such notices are issued routinely in any region where there are hostilities nearby.

The end of NEET gibs
Well my country is fucking me over. Trump and his administration seem to be on a mission to genocide neets. So there's that..Very easy to attack neets and their gibs to give sad pleasures to wagecucks. Anyone else living such a situation? Feels like the world is more and more pressuring you to rope yourself… oh well…

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.

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.

It is truly fascinating to watch you petty-bourgeois moralists clutch your pearls over actually existing socialism, entirely ignoring that your axioms are derived purely from liberal ideology and fail to account for the material conditions of a besieged proletarian dictatorship attempting to industrialize a plow-based feudal economy into a nuclear superpower in two decades while facing the combined hostility of the entire capitalist world. This dialectic extends inexorably to the PRC as well; for as it has been aptly noted, the productive forces necessary to defend a revolution must be equal to the productive forces attacking it.
Perhaps if you had actually engaged with Capital instead of merely skimming the back cover of The Conquest of Bread or watching CIA-funded video essays, you would comprehend that a revolution is largely the most organized, centralized, and terrifying thing there is. All that crying about "Red Fascism" because the Soviets didn't immediately dissolve the state apparatus while the Wehrmacht was knocking on the door constitutes a counter-revolutionary betrayal of the proletariat.
So please, put down whatever anarchist, leftcom, or revisionist slop you are currently consuming, stop fetishizing failure, and recognize that your "pure" socialism is a phantom; the Real exists only as the profane, this-worldly, dirty-Jewish muck of class struggle. Formally apologize to the General Secretary for your embarrassing lack of theoretical rigor NOW.

Anti Revisionism: The Ultimate Revisionism
Did Marx ever once utter the word "revisionism?" If you think about it. Anti-revisionism is the ultimate revisionism because it is anti-dialectical. It stresses revisiting the "classics" of the numbered heads (however many you think are "worthy" of the title, 4 or 5 or 6) of Marxism-Leninism rather than scientifically studying the evolving world and coming up with New Theses. Marx and Engels were anti-dogmatic and stressed an evolving understanding of the system, yet so many of their followers today are "anti-revisionists" who think nothing (or at least nothing important) has changed since 1883.

Acting-President Rodriguez described cash from the oil sales flowing into two sovereign wealth funds, one to support crisis-stricken health services and another to bolster public infrastructure, much of which was built under Mr Maduro’s legendary predecessor, Hugo Chavez, but has since deteriorated. While Ms Rodriguez slammed the kidnapping of Mr Maduro and referred to a “stain on our relations,” she also promoted the resumption of diplomacy with the US. She said: “Let us not be afraid of diplomacy. “I ask that politics not be transformed, that it not begin with hatred and intolerance.”

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.
Statement of the Workers’ Councils of Arak: All power to the councils!
>“To the workers of Markazi Province, to our comrades in Khuzestan, and to all the people of Iran.”
>For decades, our demands for bread have been answered with bullets, and our demands for dignity with prison. But today, the silence has come to an end. We, the workers of Arak’s factories, declare the following:
>Workplace control: From now on, the management of the Machine Manufacturing Company, AzarAb, and Wagon Pars factories will be in the hands of workers’ councils elected by the workers themselves. We no longer recognize managers appointed by the state or the regime’s puppet unions.

Joint statement of Worker-Communist Parties of Iraq and Kurdistan:
>The protests come amidst profound political transformations in the region and a clear decline in Iranian influence, which had expanded in recent years through militias and their allies, relying on funds looted from the working class and the welfare of the lranian masses. In the same vein, American imperialism, known for its bullying and unwavering support for fascist regimes, foremost among them the state of lsrael, is attempting to market itself as a defender of human rights and a supporter of the demands of the lranian masses, by brandishing the threat of blatant intervention, as recently occurred in Venezuela the two Communist Workers' Parties in Iraq and Kurdistan, while declaring their full solidarity and support for the just demands of the lranian working class and the masses yearning for freedom and dignity simultaneously warn against relying on American policies or allowing its intervention which plays a role in providing the lranian regime with pretexts to escalate its repression of the protesters.
>Any real change, any tangible improvement, and any victory for the protests in lran depends on maintaining their independence, separating their ranks from American imperialist policies, and preserving their class and popular unity.
>Long live the working class of Iran
>Long live the just demands of the Iranian people for freedom and equality

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.
Statement of the Workers’ Councils of Arak: All power to the councils!
>“To the workers of Markazi Province, to our comrades in Khuzestan, and to all the people of Iran.”
>For decades, our demands for bread have been answered with bullets, and our demands for dignity with prison. But today, the silence has come to an end. We, the workers of Arak’s factories, declare the following:
>Workplace control: From now on, the management of the Machine Manufacturing Company, AzarAb, and Wagon Pars factories will be in the hands of workers’ councils elected by the workers themselves. We no longer recognize managers appointed by the state or the regime’s puppet unions.

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

I've become convinced more and more this is inevitable soon and you all should be preparing for it. Even if the bubble pops that doesn't mean the end of AI. That just means it becomes centralized to a few surviving players, most likely google, who, unlike openAI can afford to burn millions a day for a very long time and will most likely get gibs from the government to keep it going until its profitable. In fact if the bubble pops it becomes even more likely that AI will actually be profitable.
And no, UBI is not coming, especially not in the US. Even if it did it would not be nearly enough for people to afford to live in most places. Most UBI proposals dont even cover a month's rent in most places, and past UBI experiments have had mixed results.
So yeah buckle up everyone, I hope you're ready.
Why socialists should support AI
Socialists should be hoping that the promises all the rich guys make about AI come true. This would create massive revolutionary potential in the US and rest of the world just like that. If AI replaces even just a portion of jobs that could result in sustained structural unemployment rate of like 10-20% possibly even greater. We will see a mass concentration of capital and thus mass proletarianization of the petit bourgoeisie as consumer spending craters. Big businesses will pivot to b2b and luxury markets to retain whatever profit they can but most small businesses wont be able to survive. This will also kill job hopping culture which was a major factor in weaking unions.I've become convinced more and more this is inevitable soon and you all should be preparing for it.

The move was a central demand of hunger strikers Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed, Lewie Chiaramello, Teuta Hoxha, Jon Cink, Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib, who began re-feeding in line with medical guidance on Wednesday evening. It came as Elbit lost out on a £2 billion contract that would have seen the company train up to 60,000 British troops each year over a decade. Elbit has secured more than 10 public contracts since 2012, but campaigners said the latest decision marked a significant shift.

Rightward shift rips apart the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance
In Brandenburg, Crumbach declared that the party, for which he served in government for a year, is no longer fit for anything, not even for the opposition. He described it as a “troublemaker” that no longer wants to shape society. Wagenknecht countered with accusations of “betrayal” and “electoral fraud.” BSW state chairwoman Friederike Benda accused the renegade MPs of having “abused their roles in the BSW for months in order to blackmail the party” and said that Crumbach lacks the courage to “fight for a real political project.”

Major Aleppo offensive looms as Syria moves on Kurdish SDF positions
A government announcement on Wednesday said that SDF-controlled areas to the west of the Euphrates were now a "closed military zone" and called on "all armed groups in this area" to withdraw to the east of the river. On Thursday, the Syrian army gave civilians around Deir Hafer a deadline to leave the area before a battle for the town begins, which appears to be part of a plan for a wider offensive to capture SDF territories to the west of the Euphrates River.

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.

This set of aesthetic includes: talking in a nasally and whiny way, upward inflection, limbs flopping around, slouched stance, indesicive movements, intentional shabbiness in dress or over-attention to dress, over-qualification (or redditifcation) of speech (“I might be wrong but…”), distancing or discomfort with tools, mechinary, firearms, navigation, etc. A meme-word captures this aesthetic aptly, “soy.”
Time to change course. It’s one thing to know to not harm women, it’s another to not have a firm handshake.
there is nothing wrong in being manly
Many men on the left and centre, in critiquing patriarchal norms, have gone further and made a point of rejecting aesthetic standards traditionally associated with masculinity. Over the past two to three decades, this rejection has cohered into a recognizable counter-aesthetic.This set of aesthetic includes: talking in a nasally and whiny way, upward inflection, limbs flopping around, slouched stance, indesicive movements, intentional shabbiness in dress or over-attention to dress, over-qualification (or redditifcation) of speech (“I might be wrong but…”), distancing or discomfort with tools, mechinary, firearms, navigation, etc. A meme-word captures this aesthetic aptly, “soy.”

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.
Is there anything else happening?

Iran’s judiciary has said it will move swiftly against those arrested in massive nationwide protests now into their third week, signalling fast-track trials and executions.

UGANDANS go to the polls today in an election that is likely to extend the rule of the long-term president while raising concerns about transparency, hereditary rule, military interference and an opposition strategy to prevent vote tampering at polling stations. President Yoweri Museveni, who has held power since 1986, seeks a seventh term that would bring him closer to five decades in power.

Officials confirmed Wednesday that it won’t be compulsory for citizens and residents to show a digital ID card in order to get a job, ditching a key plank of the policy announced in September. “The digital ID could be one way you prove your eligibility to work,” Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander told the BBC, alongside other documents such as biometric passports. The government said detailed plans for digital ID cards will be “set out following a full public consultation which will launch shortly.”

As a result, both motions failed. The one tabled by LFI received only 256 votes in favour, 32 votes short of what was needed for the motion to pass. The second motion, put forward by the far right, received 142 votes in favour and also failed.

Urban poor residents demand compensation from DSWD for disaster victims
Urban poor community residents affected by the recent typhoons trooped to the Department of Social Work and Development (DSWD) national office on January 12 to demand compensation that should’ve been distributed. Led by Kadamay, they sought to hold a dialogue with DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian but was refused. “More than six months have passed since typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong struck, along with the successive floods caused by the southwest monsoon,” said Kadamay. “But until now, millions of Filipinos remain neglected and have not received fair compensation.”

The panel proposes an integration program that takes into account the needs of not only individuals, but also their family members as a unit. In the program, which foreign nationals intending to live in Japan would be required to take part in before and after entering the country, participants would gain basic knowledge about Japanese society and administrative procedures. The panel suggests that participation in the program be made a condition of residence.

‘Bizarre’ bonuses and sausage sizzles: how Australia’s outsource call centres try to lure in poorly paid workers
Tens of thousands of Australians speak to government agencies every day about sensitive matters, including tax debts, pensions, aged care, and disability and support payments. But few know they are probably speaking to a private contractor, without the training, pay, conditions or public service support of a civil servant. Guardian Australia has interviewed more than a dozen call centre workers at four private contractors with government agency contracts; the US private equity-owned Probe Operations, the Nasdaq-listed Concentrix Services, the British multinational Serco, and TSA Group.

Palestinian students strike as Israel bans access to West Bank teachersThe strike was called by the General Secretariat of Christian Educational Institutions in Jerusalem and later joined by all private schools in East Jerusalem. It follows Israel’s decision to limit the number of days on which work permits are granted to teachers from the West Bank. Under Israeli rules, Palestinians must obtain a permit from the Israeli military to cross checkpoints separating the West Bank from East Jerusalem.

Iran’s judiciary suggests fast-tracked trials for protesters
Iran’s judiciary has said it will move swiftly against those arrested in massive nationwide protests now into their third week, signalling fast-track trials and executions. Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, the head of Iran’s judicial system, delivered the warning in a video released by state television on Wednesday, calling on courts and prosecutors to act without delay. “If we want to do a job, we should do it now,” Mohseni-Ejei said, adding that any pause would undermine the state’s ability to deter further violence.

Ugandan voters go to the polls amid soldiers on the street
UGANDANS go to the polls today in an election that is likely to extend the rule of the long-term president while raising concerns about transparency, hereditary rule, military interference and an opposition strategy to prevent vote tampering at polling stations. President Yoweri Museveni, who has held power since 1986, seeks a seventh term that would bring him closer to five decades in power.

‘Home Secretary tells MPs that the government will reinstate powers to fire chief constables over ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans
Protests are being arranged in Birmingham as Palestine and anti-racism campaigners slammed Westminster interference in local politics over the ban from a match against Aston Villa in November. West Midlands Police and crime commissioner Simon Foster declined to sack chief constable Craig Guildford without “full and proper consideration” after Ms Mahmood told MPs that the government will reinstate the Home Secretary’s powers to fire chief constables.

The UK is watering down plans for mandatory digital ID cards after a backlash
Officials confirmed Wednesday that it won’t be compulsory for citizens and residents to show a digital ID card in order to get a job, ditching a key plank of the policy announced in September. “The digital ID could be one way you prove your eligibility to work,” Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander told the BBC, alongside other documents such as biometric passports. The government said detailed plans for digital ID cards will be “set out following a full public consultation which will launch shortly.”

France's government survives two no-confidence votes over Mercosur deal
The Socialist Party had ruled out backing the no-confidence motions and the conservative Les Républicains also said they would not vote to censure the government over Mercosur. As a result, both motions failed. The one tabled by LFI received only 256 votes in favour, 32 votes short of what was needed for the motion to pass. The second motion, put forward by the far right, received 142 votes in favour and also failed.

Urban poor residents demand compensation from DSWD for disaster victims
Urban poor community residents affected by the recent typhoons trooped to the Department of Social Work and Development (DSWD) national office on January 12 to demand compensation that should’ve been distributed. Led by Kadamay, they sought to hold a dialogue with DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian but was refused. “More than six months have passed since typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong struck, along with the successive floods caused by the southwest monsoon,” said Kadamay. “But until now, millions of Filipinos remain neglected and have not received fair compensation.”

Government panel proposes mandatory integration program for foreign residents
The panel proposes an integration program that takes into account the needs of not only individuals, but also their family members as a unit. In the program, which foreign nationals intending to live in Japan would be required to take part in before and after entering the country, participants would gain basic knowledge about Japanese society and administrative procedures. The panel suggests that participation in the program be made a condition of residence.

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.”
>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.
>Mr Al Zubaidi framed independence not just as a local aspiration but as part of a wider commitment to stability in the region. “We support the two-state solution – a Yemeni state in the north and in the south – and a Palestinian state alongside Israel,” he said. “Self-determination is a right. All people have the right to determine their future.”

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!

Hello!
I am a teaching assistant who provides emotional and academic support to students with special needs at a public (government) school. I joined this job in part for its capacity to provide me access to the American labor movement such that I can assess its shortcomings. In what felt almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy, I would soon discover one almost immediately after becoming a union representative at my school.
Essentially, myself and my co-workers were duped into voting for a union leadership and city council that had put forward a bill offering a $10,000 bonus (with provided funding sources through the legislation. Union leadership insisted it was a no-brainer and 47/50 city council members were outright sponsors on the bill.
Tl;Dr: in spite of what was OSTENSIBLY overwhelming support to the powers that be, the political will of both the politicians and leadership dissipated as soon as election day had come and past. Like a fool, I said as much to my co-workers and have let them down tremendously. I have to make this up.
As an American public sector employee, it is illegal for our union to hold strikes and Americans do not have the political will for a wildcat. After some analysis, I have concluded that the most productive avenue I can take is to begin a hunger strike on the last day of school for students demanding that the bill be brought to a vote. I am fairly sure at this point that it is the only course of action viable to affect change for my co-workers, who are in desperate need of this additional income due to cost of living increases in spite of their living in the epicenter of the imperial core.
Do you, anon, think this is the right course of action for myself at this time? If so, do you have any tips for how I can execute this without literally killing myself? Can answer any clarifying questions you might have.

They declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter. The exact number of seizure warrants the U.S. has filed for, and how many it has already received, is unclear, the sources said, because the filings and legal orders are not public.

Argentina Registers Increase in Repression During Milei’s Term
The document denounces a systematic and selective increase in repression, particularly affecting retirees, journalists, human rights defenders, and minors participating in social protests. Fifty-one out of 139 demonstrations monitored between 2024 and 2025 were met with repression. Over two years, 2,585 injuries were recorded, including 155 senior citizens in 2025, five children exposed to tear gas, and 184 journalists affected by the repression. The use of rubber bullets at point-blank range, tear gas grenades, Byrna pistols, and water cannons violates international protocols.

Details of the plane’s appearance, first reported Monday by The New York Times, were confirmed by two people familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.

Somalia cancels all agreements with the UAE over alleged sovereignty violations
Authorities say the agreements, which span key port operations, security co-operation and defence, have been stopped because of “harmful actions” of the UAE that undermine Somalia’s unity and sovereignty. The announcement is clearly linked to Israel’s recognition in December of Somaliland, a self-declared independent region in north-western Somalia that broke away in 1991, said Abdinor Dahir, an independent Somalia analyst.

Cosatu’s Shingange challenges Mantashe on youth unemployment claims
In an interview with South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) News, Mantashe said that young people are passive when it comes to applying for job opportunities. Shingange says maybe Mantashe has not come across young people who are applying for jobs. He says maybe the youth should hand their CVs over to Mantashe at Saturday’s anniversary celebrations taking place at the Moruleng Stadium in the North West. “If his government is of the view that the young people have not been looking for jobs, perhaps he has not come across them looking for jobs. So maybe they must give him CVs here. We agree. They have been looking for jobs and it’s not true that they have not been looking for jobs. If you have not seen them, perhaps he must receive the CVs here from them,” says Shingange.

US files for warrants to seize dozens more Venezuela-linked oil tankers, sources sayThe U.S. government has filed multiple civil forfeiture actions in district courts, primarily in Washington, D.C., enabling the seizure and confiscation of oil cargoes and ships that have been involved in the trade, the sources told Reuters. They declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter. The exact number of seizure warrants the U.S. has filed for, and how many it has already received, is unclear, the sources said, because the filings and legal orders are not public. Dozens have been filed, they added.

Argentina Registers Increase in Repression During Milei’s Term
The document denounces a systematic and selective increase in repression, particularly affecting retirees, journalists, human rights defenders, and minors participating in social protests. Fifty-one out of 139 demonstrations monitored between 2024 and 2025 were met with repression. Over two years, 2,585 injuries were recorded, including 155 senior citizens in 2025, five children exposed to tear gas, and 184 journalists affected by the repression. The use of rubber bullets at point-blank range, tear gas grenades, Byrna pistols, and water cannons violates international protocols.

Plane used in boat strike off Venezuela was painted to look like a civilian aircraft, AP sources say
The plane, part of a secret U.S. fleet used in surveillance operations, also was carrying munitions in the fuselage, rather than beneath the aircraft, raising questions about the extent to which the operation was disguised in ways that run contrary to military protocol. Details of the plane’s appearance, first reported Monday by The New York Times, were confirmed by two people familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.

Iran forms task force to study 'Gen Z anger' amid protests
At a press conference, Mohajerani acknowledged government shortcomings but said "not everything that happened was of its making". She said authorities had "heard the voice of the people", announcing the formation of a fact-finding committee and the inclusion of public demands on the government's agenda. She expressed condolences to families who lost relatives during the unrest, saying protesters were calling for "respect, a decent living, and a dignified life", and warned that Iranian society was in urgent need of solidarity.

US labels Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan as ‘terrorists’
The United States has designated Muslim Brotherhood organisations in Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan as “terrorist” groups, the administration of President Donald Trump announces, as Washington intensifies its crackdown on Israel’s rivals across the world. The decision on Tuesday came weeks after Trump issued an executive order directing his administration to start the process of blacklisting the groups.

Somalia cancels all agreements with the UAE over alleged sovereignty violations
Authorities say the agreements, which span key port operations, security co-operation and defence, have been stopped because of “harmful actions” of the UAE that undermine Somalia’s unity and sovereignty. The announcement is clearly linked to Israel’s recognition in December of Somaliland, a self-declared independent region in north-western Somalia that broke away in 1991, said Abdinor Dahir, an independent Somalia analyst.

Cosatu’s Shingange challenges Mantashe on youth unemployment claims
In an interview with South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) News, Mantashe said that young people are passive when it comes to applying for job opportunities. Shingange says maybe Mantashe has not come across young people who are applying for jobs. He says maybe the youth should hand their CVs over to Mantashe at Saturday’s anniversary celebrations taking place at the Moruleng Stadium in the North West. “If his government is of the view that the young people have not been looking for jobs, perhaps he has not come across them looking for jobs. So maybe they must give him CVs here. We agree. They have been looking for jobs and it’s not true that they have not been looking for jobs. If you have not seen them, perhaps he must receive the CVs here from them,” says Shingange.

Is Market-Socialism the future of the socialist movement or only temporary?
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. Is only supposed to be temporary for until the communist movement gets back on its feet or are we stuck with Labubus and billboards forever?

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential.

Cognitive Warfare 2026: NATO’s Chief Scientist Report as Sentinel Call for Operational Readiness
https://inss.ndu.edu/Media/News/Article/4371195/cognitive-warfare-2026-natos-chief-scientist-report-as-sentinel-call-for-operat/
The recently released NATO Chief Scientist’s 2025 Report on Cognitive Warfare provides a timely acknowledgment of a strategic reality that contemporary conflict is increasingly behavior-centric, and the decisive terrain is often not geographic but how individuals and groups perceive, interpret, decide, and act. I have had the privilege, honor and pleasure of working on NATO’s initial cognitive warfare studies beginning in 2018, which explicitly emphasized that cognitive warfare is not merely “PSYOPS with better tools.”
Indeed, NATO efforts in this space echo our group’s ongoing work that has argued for a more expansive, yet nonetheless realistic view of cognitive warfare as a mix of emerging technologies, influence methods, and adversary exploitation of societal fault lines that can be engaged to shape the conditions under which humans form beliefs, allocate attention, and generate intent. The nature of warfare may remain the same, but operationally I posit that cognitive engagements change three fundamentals of military missions, namely:
• The target set expands from discrete platforms or messages to human cognitive and social systems (trust networks, identity narratives, institutional legitimacy).
• The battlespace becomes continuous, operating non-kinetically below thresholds of armed conflict, blending strategic competition, hybrid pressure, and wartime maneuvering.
• The measure of effectiveness shifts from short-term message penetration to durable changes in cognitive patterns and behavioral dispositions (e.g., risk perception, threat appraisal, civic cohesion, and willingness to support military action).
Increasingly, neurotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming dual-use instruments for cognitive engagement to leverage biological, psychological, and social levels of effect, as follows:
Biological Level: Manipulating Capacity
This level directly targets the nervous system as the focal substrate of thought, emotion and behavior. Neuroscientific techniques and technologies (neuroS/T) can be used to assess and affect individual (and aggregate/group) physiological functions to alter (i.e., disrupt, direct, degrade or improve) cognitive capabilities, mental states, decision-making and actions.
Psychological Level: Manipulating Interpretation
Here, the focus is upon influencing cognitive appraisal(s), framing, emotions, and the patterns of thought that contribute to and shape individual and collective attitudes, beliefs and judgment. AI-enabled influence (for example, on social and public media) can tailor stimuli to engage individual and group vulnerabilities and volatilities (which may have been previously or co-modulated through the use of neuroS/T to affect susceptibility by altering arousal states or attentional gating).
Social Level: Manipulating Cohesion
This is the over-arching level for influencing shared narratives, beliefs, institutional legitimacy, and public views, values and activities. Cognitive engagement seeks to fracture cohesion, weaponize identity, and create epistemic chaos. In this light, NATO’s emphasis that the cognitive front is not only military but societal is both accurate and strategically important to recognize.
In practice, these levels are not mutually exclusive, but rather can and should be regarded as complementary, reinforcing domains and dimensions of vulnerability, influence, and targetability; utilizing bottom-up (biological targeting to incur psychological and social effects), middle-out (i.e., psychological targeting to evoke both biological responses and social manifestations), and top-down (i.e., social level engagement(s) to induce both psycho-biologic and bio-psychological effects) approaches (as shown in the figure below).
NATO’s cognitive warfare ecosystem is explicit in its call for building practical capability and developing doctrine for operating within it to (1) acknowledge these bio-psychosocial levels and factors of effect, and (2) formulate paradigms for developing more accurate detection, fortified resilience, and directed deterrence and defense. This speaks to the need to appreciate cognitive warfare on a broader scale, and as executable in and across global theatres of operations.
The military relevance of such cognitive engagement capabilities is twofold. Offensively, neurotechnologic and AI-enabled tools can be employed to influence adversary decision cycles through disruption of sensemaking, misdirection of confidence, and steered direction of group-level dynamics. Defensively, cognitive engagement can be leveraged to safeguard force readiness and fortify societal resilience against manipulations that seek to disrupt individual and/or collective capabilities through narrative exploitation, stress induction, attentional saturation, demoralization, and/or engineered distrust.
Convergence: AI as Accelerant of Cognitive Engagement
Cognitive warfare extends into the social substrates of trust, shared epistemic standards, and institutional legitimacy. From a force-development standpoint, AI becomes both threat and countermeasure: the same methods that enable adversary influence can (under current rule-of-law constraints) be employed to support defensive cognitive security (e.g., anomaly detection in influence networks; pattern recognition for coordinated inauthentic behavior; and decision-support for commanders managing narrative risk). Thus, if neuroscience and technologies are the means of “influencing the mind by affecting the brain,” AI is increasingly becoming the means by which to "affect the mind by manipulating the information ecology." Hence, the operational concern is not simply that AI can generate persuasive content, but rather, that AI can be used to:
• Micro-segment populations to enable psychographic and behavioral targeting
• Optimize narratives in real time and across channels
• Automate social amplification (e.g., using bot/hybrid actor swarms)
• Create synthetic credibility (e.g., deepfakes, synthetic experts, forged “evidence”)
• Exploit cognitive biases, values and vulnerabilities (e.g., salience, fear conditioning, in-group/out-group polarization).
…and do so with speed and target-specification on a variety of scales. Thus, the NATO report should be used as a sentinel call to look beyond the European theatre, identify which actors on the global stage possess these capabilities, examine their current programs, projects and potential applications, and acknowledge the clear and present realties of their using extant and emerging S/T in cognitive warfare engagements.
Recommendations
Given these realities, if NATO’s 2025 Chief Scientist agenda is to be more than an important conceptual marker for the field, I believe it should drive military capability projects that align with how cognitive effects are generated and can be defended against in the current milieu of global power competition. Toward such ends I propose the following recommendations:
1. Develop cognitive indicators and warnings as a standing function, to include enduring fusion cells that integrate neurocognitive and behavioral science, data and cyberscience and technology, and operational intelligence.
2. Instantiate neuro-AI readiness and resilience programs for the force, which entail training, assessment, and protective measures that regard cognition as a mission-critical substrate, and not merely a "soft" add-on.
3. Establish doctrine for cognitive engagement in military domains of operation. Cognitive effects should be integrated into planning alongside cyber, electronic warfare. space, and information activities, given that cognitive outcomes frequently determine whether kinetic engagement becomes tactically effective and strategically successful.
4. Expand ethical-legal frameworks for governance of dual-use neuroS/T and AI. Military forces must operationalize “responsible use” approaches, particularly given that cognitive engagement tools blur traditional lines between persuasion, manipulation, and coercion. This is where prior NATO work on mitigating and responding to cognitive warfare remains relevant; defense surely demands the use of cutting edged science and technology, but equally necessitates guardrails for guidance, governance and response.
Conclusion: Cognitive Superiority is Not Optional
The NATO report rightly recognizes that the international contest for power advantage is increasingly being engaged through human cognition, collective sensemaking, and societal effect. The convergence of neuroS/T and AI will intensify this reality by enabling precision influence at scale through biological, psychological and socially mediated modulation of human cognition, emotion, behavior and vulnerability.
Therefore, I opine that the critical point to be taken from the NATO Chief Scientist’s Report on Cognitive Warfare is that the task at hand is to ensure that initiatives in cognitive engagement become operational capabilities; with measurable indicators, trained forces, partnered resilience, and governance of dual-use S/T in an era where the “battle for the brain” is no longer a metaphor, but becomes a factor in defense planning on the world stage.

• Automate social amplification (e.g., using bot/hybrid actor swarms)
• Create synthetic credibility (e.g., deepfakes, synthetic experts, forged “evidence”)
• Exploit cognitive biases, values and vulnerabilities (e.g., salience, fear conditioning, in-group/out-group polarization).
…and do so with speed and target-specification on a variety of scales. Thus, the NATO report should be used as a sentinel call to look beyond the European theatre, identify which actors on the global stage possess these capabilities, examine their current programs, projects and potential applications, and acknowledge the clear and present realties of their using extant and emerging S/T in cognitive warfare engagements.
Recommendations
Given these realities, if NATO’s 2025 Chief Scientist agenda is to be more than an important conceptual marker for the field, I believe it should drive military capability projects that align with how cognitive effects are generated and can be defended against in the current milieu of global power competition. Toward such ends I propose the following recommendations:
1. Develop cognitive indicators and warnings as a standing function, to include enduring fusion cells that integrate neurocognitive and behavioral science, data and cyberscience and technology, and operational intelligence.
2. Instantiate neuro-AI readiness and resilience programs for the force, which entail training, assessment, and protective measures that regard cognition as a mission-critical substrate, and not merely a "soft" add-on.
3. Establish doctrine for cognitive engagement in military domains of operation. Cognitive effects should be integrated into planning alongside cyber, electronic warfare. space, and information activities, given that cognitive outcomes frequently determine whether kinetic engagement becomes tactically effective and strategically successful.
4. Expand ethical-legal frameworks for governance of dual-use neuroS/T and AI. Military forces must operationalize “responsible use” approaches, particularly given that cognitive engagement tools blur traditional lines between persuasion, manipulation, and coercion. This is where prior NATO work on mitigating and responding to cognitive warfare remains relevant; defense surely demands the use of cutting edged science and technology, but equally necessitates guardrails for guidance, governance and response.
Conclusion: Cognitive Superiority is Not Optional
The NATO report rightly recognizes that the international contest for power advantage is increasingly being engaged through human cognition, collective sensemaking, and societal effect. The convergence of neuroS/T and AI will intensify this reality by enabling precision influence at scale through biological, psychological and socially mediated modulation of human cognition, emotion, behavior and vulnerability.
Therefore, I opine that the critical point to be taken from the NATO Chief Scientist’s Report on Cognitive Warfare is that the task at hand is to ensure that initiatives in cognitive engagement become operational capabilities; with measurable indicators, trained forces, partnered resilience, and governance of dual-use S/T in an era where the “battle for the brain” is no longer a metaphor, but becomes a factor in defense planning on the world stage.

Discuss anything on Southeast Asian politics. Coming 2024 Elections, open orgs, People that should be dead for different reasons running in Malaysia's elections or just random shit. There are still dozens of us… hopefully! Starting off this general with massive wave of cult sex camps.

Negotiations between the Bolivian Government of President Rodrigo Paz Pereira and the Bolivian Workers' Union (COB) collapsed on Friday, leaving the country's instability on the brink of further escalation. Following the breakdown, union leadership abandoned calls for simple roadblocks, warning instead that the country was on the brink of a “national revolution” over the elimination through Supreme Decree 5503 of fuel subsidies resulting in significant price hikes, a phenomenon known as “Gasolinazo.” While the government maintains the decree is essential for economic stability, the COB has denounced it as an unconstitutional and “submissive” regulation that threatens the fundamental rights of the working class.

Firefighters battle blazes as Patagonia wildfires spread to 15,000 hectares
Forest fires in southern Argentina have scorched more than 15,000 hectares (37,000 acres) this week, authorities said, though rain began falling in parts of Patagonia on Sunday to the relief of residents. The largest blaze, burning since Monday near the small Andean town of Epuyén, has charred some 11,980 hectares, the Chubut Province fire service said in a statement.

PM recalls parliament to fast-track hate speech and gun laws in wake of Bondi terror attack
The government promised to crack down on so-called “hate preachers”, creating a new racial vilification offence and listing groups as prohibited hate groups, a lower threshold than the terror group listing. The legislation will also ensure offenders driven by extremism will have that motivation factored into their sentencing, strengthen existing bans on prohibited symbols, and create a new offence for inciting hatred in order to intimidate or harass. The home affairs minister will have new powers to cancel or refuse visas, and a new scheme to formally list hate groups will be created.

Iran protests: Almost 650 killed as Tehran summons EU ambassadors
At least 648 protesters have been killed in the unrest, according to the Norway-based human rights organization Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO). The group reports that nine of those killed were under the age of 18 and that thousands more have been injured since protests began on December 28. This figure is higher than an earlier estimate released Sunday by the US-based Human Rights Activist News Agency, which put the death toll at 544 including 47 members of the security forces.

Bahrain opposition leader Ebrahim Sharif given six-month sentence for Israel criticism
Sharif, a popular and outspoken left-wing campaigner, has been held in detention since November, accused of "spreading false news on social media" and "making offensive remarks against sister Arab states and their leaders". On Thursday, the Bahraini Lower Criminal Court sentenced Sharif to six months' imprisonment and fined him 200 Bahraini dinars ($530), citing an interview he gave in Beirut to LuaLuaTV in which he condemned Arab states for failing to support the Palestinians and for their growing ties with Israel.

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.

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.

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.

Although soldiers and the army are ultimate tyrants and indisputably worse….But cops and lawyers are the same thing and equally despicable and honestly the latter is more likely to be purely soulless evil people. There can never be talk of anti-establishment or system reform without shaming the law profession. enforcers of an unjust murderous order and frontline agents of class oppression, Lawyers even have a more direct relationship with enabling and always defending blood-sucking corporations and predatory ruling class than the hated militarist since lawyers REPRESENT them in court and legitimise their crimes while the militarists simply prevent what seems to them chaos and rioting. Lawyers are also much richer on average than wretched soldiers or police since their profession has a stronger incentive for being corrupt and immoral.
>B-but most lawyers just deal with common legal cases and petty crime or whatever
Same thing could be said about the police or even the infamous intelligence agencies.
This is not about vindicating the police or army or intelligence agents or any other porky tools, But an honest question: Why isn't there more lawyer hate in leftist circles?

Once the evidence of extreme abuse began surfacing in surprising numbers, the 'False Memory Syndrome Foundation' (FMSF) was set up to promote the theory that victims are suffering from a syndrome that creates false memories, often at the suggestion of psychotic parents or over-zealous psychiatrists.
The members of the FMSF have been called as expert witnesses in hundreds of trials around the United States and have been routinely quoted as experts in the media. Their mission has been exceptionally successful, as the 'false memory syndrome' has become accepted as a fact in most of the public consciousness. Unfortunately, people rarely stop to ask the question, who exactly are the members of the FMSF, and how solid is their science?
Peter J. Freyd initiated the founding of the FMSF after being accused of sexual abuse by his daughter, Jennifer. His behavior has been particularly suspect, such as accusing his daughter of being brain damaged, despite the fact that she holds a PhD in Psychology, graduated magna cum laude from Penn and is currently a tenured professor of psychology at the University of Oregon. Speaking to The Oregonian, Jennifer Freyd stated that “I’m sometimes flabbergasted that my memory is considered ‘false’ and my alcoholic father’s memory is considered rational and sane.”
Peter Freyd once stated that “With the help of Harold Lief and Martin Orne, the FMSF quickly gathered a respectable appearing advisory board, giving the new syndrome an aura of scientific acceptance.” Interestingly, Dr. Martin T. Orne has been heavily involved with MK-ULTRA experiments since the early '60s, where he undertook hypnosis studies at Harvard Medical School with a $30,000 grant from the CIA.
CIA documents have confirmed that Orne had a 'top secret' clearance in MK-ULTRA. He has published many papers relevant to the creation of a 'Manchurian candidate', including one called “Can a hypnotized subject be compelled to carry out otherwise unacceptable behavior?”, another called “The significance of unwitting cues for experimental outcomes: Toward a pragmatic approach”, and lastly “Restricted use of success cues in retrieval during post-hypnotic amnesia”.This is an interesting subject matter history given the FMSF's insistence that hypnotism is illegitimate.
Dr. Harold Lief was involved with brain electrode experiments at Tulane University, a notorious MK-ULTRA institution. Another prominent member, David Dinges, was a co-worker with Martin T. Orne and has been involved in research for Naval Intelligence, who oversaw the precursor mind control experiments to MK-ULTRA.
Founding member Ralph Underwager once proudly proclaimed to the pro-pedophilia publication Paidika:
“What I have been struck by as I have come to know more about and understand people who choose paedophilia is that they let themselves be too much defined by other people. That is usually an essentially negative definition. Paedophiles spend a lot of time and energy defending their choice. I don't think that a paedophile needs to do that. Paedophiles can boldly and courageously affirm what they choose. They can say that what they want is to find the best way to love. I am also a theologian and as a theologian, I believe it is God's will that there be closeness and intimacy, unity of the flesh, between people.
A paedophile can say: "This closeness is possible for me within the choices that I've made." Paedophiles are too defensive. They go around saying, "You people out there are saying that what I choose is bad, that it's no good. You're putting me in prison, you're doing all these terrible things to me. I have to define my love as being in some way or other illicit." What I think is that paedophiles can make the assertion that the pursuit of intimacy and love is what they choose. With boldness, they can say, "I believe this is in fact part of God's will."
Regarding the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, Columbia Journalism Review stated:
"Rarely has such a strange and little-understood organization had such a profound effect on media coverage of such a controversial matter. The [False Memory Syndrome] foundation is an aggressive, well-financed PR machine adept at manipulating the press, harassing its critics, and mobilizing a diverse army of psychiatrists, outspoken academics, expert defense witnesses, litigious lawyers, Freud bashers, critics of psychotherapy, and devastated parents.”
The FMSF has repeatedly cited a study presented at a Harvard conference where researchers were repeatedly able to implant the false memory of mundane tasks like grocery shopping, into their subjects using techniques such as hypnosis. It has been championed as proof that memories are easily manipulated. However, research has shown that memories of abuse function very differently than average memories.
“However, leading memory researchers such as Dr. Bessel van der Kolk of Harvard Medical School maintain that traumatic memories, which typically are engraved in the sensorimotor processes, are not subject to the same kinds of contamination that can affect normal memory. Traumatic amnesia, described in the DSM-III-R as psychogenic amnesia, is a phenomenon which has been known to mental health professionals for more than 100 years. The clinically observed characteristics of traumatic memory formation and retrieval match precisely the patterns of memory recovery exhibited by SRA [Satanic Ritual Abuse] survivors, and strongly confirm the reality of their cult abuse.”
There is also the case of Paul and Shirley Eberle, who are famous for propagating the idea of a 'satanic panic', that the widespread reporting of ritual abuse is merely a social contagion. They have published two books titled “The Politics of Child Abuse” and “The Abuse of Innocence” which promote this theory, and have been cited as experts in courts and the press. Ms. Magazine wrote a review of the interesting past of the Eberles, stating:
“What is startling about the Eberles' reputation as ground-breaking experts in the field is that their dubious credentials have not been widely challenged. Paul and Shirley Eberle edit a soft-core magazine in California called the L.A. Star that contains a mixture of nude photos, celebrity gossip, telephone sex ads, and promos for The Politics of Child Abuse.
In the 1970's, however, the Eberles were also publishing hard-core pornography. Their publication, Finger, depicted scenes of bondage, S & M, and sexual activities involving urination and defecation. A young girl portrayed with a wide smile on her face sits on top of a man whose penis is inside of her; a woman has oral sex with a young boy in a drawing entitled "Memories of My Boyhood."
The Eberles were featured nude on one cover holding two life-size blow up dolls names "Love Girl" and "Play Guy." No dates appear on the issues and the Eberles rarely attach their names, referring to themselves as "The L.A. Star Family."
The Eberles were the distributors of Finger and several other underground magazines, says Donald Smith, a sergeant with the obscenity section of the Los Angeles Police Department's vice division who followed the couple for years. LAPD was never able to prosecute for child pornography: "There were a lot of photos of people who looked like they were under age but we could never prove it." The pictures of young children in Finger are illustrations, and child pornography laws were less rigid a decade ago than they are today.
"Sexpot at Five," "My First Rape, She Was Only Thirteen," and "What Happens When uyghurs Adopt White Children" are some of the articles that appeared in Finger. One letter states: "I think it's really great that your mags have the courage to print articles & pixs [sic] on child sex… Too bad I didn't hear from more women who are into child sex… Since I'm single I'm not getting it on with my children, but I know of a few families that are. If I were married & my wife & kids approved–I'd be having sex with my daughters."
Another entry reads: "I'm a pedophile & I think its [sic] great a man is having sex with his daughter!…Since I didn't get Finger #3, I didn't get to see the stories & pics of family sex. Would like to see pics of nude girls making it with their daddy, but realize its too risky to print."
It is truly fascinating how 'compromised' the leading debunkers of ritual abuse are

The most notable thing about the state was its literacy campaign. On August 1st, 1974, Somalia embarked on a revolutionary literacy campaign that defied global expectations. Against all advice, the government sent newly graduated students, armed only with whiteboards, chalk, and books, to teach nomadic populations across vast semi-desert landscapes. These young educators, who had just learned a brand new Somali script themselves, took on the monumental task of teaching reading and writing to unlettered communities. In less than a year, Somalia's literacy rate skyrocketed from a mere 15% to over 80%, earning the country a UNESCO award.
The republic eventually collapsed in 1991 due to rebel groups backed by Ethiopia which in turn was backed by the United States and lead to Somalia's civil war that is ongoing to this day.
Somalia's unknown marxist history
Due to recent events in the news cycle putting a spotlight on Somalia, I'd like to remind people that Somalia has a socialist past that is completely unknown to most people. It was called the Somali Democratic Republic and its history with the USSR was mixed mostly due to the controversial figure Siad barre (picrel).The most notable thing about the state was its literacy campaign.

Tractors streamed into the roads of Athlone, in central Ireland, for the demonstration, displaying signs bearing the slogan “Stop EU-Mercosur” and the EU flag emblazoned with the words “sell out”.

Almameh Gibba, an MP and one of the plaintiffs, tabled a bill to decriminalise FGM that was rejected by the country’s parliament in 2024. Activists and lawyers see this as the latest move in a backlash against women’s rights that is eroding gender protections across the world.

you even have entire municipal police departments threatening to confront ICE.
Now ask yourself: why would the ruling class allow the plebs to challenge federal law? Would that not set a dangerous precedent for the ruling class to have ordinary working class people resist federal policy?
And the answer in this case is no, they're not afraid. And the reason is simple: THE RULING CLASS, THE BIG CORPORATE OLIGARCHS, WANT UNLIMITED MESTIZO IMMIGRATION IN THE US.
unlimited undocumented immigration from latin America means that capitalists can call upon a pool of unlimited scabs and also pay them BELOW minimum wage. white workers are simply too much of a hassle to deal with, they put up a stink and ask for too much. Jose and Juan, by contrast, have zero leverage and therefore can be hyper-exploited.
I will be called a republican, trumpist, fascist, but I am right. material analysis > muh feels.
Now this is not to suggest that the republicans care about workers, but the broader point I'm trying to make is that this goes beyond democrat vs republican identity politics: this is about what the haute bourgeoisie want. They want scared and vulnerable immigrants. simple as.

I feel like the internet has changed this although, since everyone has a voice, from the capitalists to us; as a result, I don't know if this definition of intellectual production by Marx still fully applies, idk.
Intellectual production in the current era
Intellectual production is the media, education, art, etc, that is created in a society. Since intellectual production is a direct extension of material production and because we are in the capitalist mode of production, the bourgeoisie heavily influnces and almost entirely controls intellectual production.I feel like the internet has changed this although, since everyone has a voice, from the capitalists to us; as a result, I don't know if this definition of intellectual production by Marx still fully applies, idk.

10 years of Trump - 250 years of America
How did you react when Trump won? I personally drank a bottle of champagne because I knew it was the beginning of the end of the USA. He is the worst kind of man and everyone knows it. Watching him destroy the US for 10 years while in and out of office has been so vindicating. He has made China into a moral leader. He is such a great capstone on the genocidal project founded in bourgeois revolution - the Settler Entity.(This is a microblogging thread in the style of Twitter and Reddit, the front pages of the Internet.)

Scientology's tactics to grow the left
Scientology is interesting because it is literally bullshit. But can we use their tactics to grow the left? Why is it so hard for something based in reason to work while something that isn't fails?>Spot who is attacking us.
>Start investigating them promptly for felonies or worse using own professionals, not outside agencies.
>Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them.
>Start feeding lurid, blood, sex, crime actual evidence on the attackers to the press.
>Don't ever tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make it rough, rough on attackers all the way. You can get "reasonable about it" and lose. Sure we break no laws. Sure we have nothing to hide. BUT attackers are simply an anti-Scientology propaganda agency so far as we are concerned. They have proven they want no facts and will only lie no matter what they discover. So BANISH all ideas that any fair hearing is intended and start our attack with their first breath. Never wait. Never talk about us—only them. Use their blood, sex, crime to get headlines.

“Ivan Mordisco” calls on Colombia’s guerrilla groups to unite against “the interventionist eagle”
Since the creation of the EMC, Mordisco’s guerrillas and the ELN have been vying for control over the border with Venezuela, and have become active in clandestine mining activities in the southern jungles of the neighboring country. The groups have tried to bridge divisions on multiple occasions, but have yet to forge a united front that would allow them to overthrow the State. President Gustavo Petro has accused the guerrilla group of having abandoned their revolutionary principles for financial gains.

US intercepts fifth sanctioned tanker as it exerts control over Venezuelan oil distribution
The pre-dawn action was carried out by Marines and Navy sailors launched from the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, part of the extensive force the U.S. has built up in the Caribbean in recent months, according to U.S. Southern Command, which declared “there is no safe haven for criminals” as it announced the seizure of the tanker called the Olina. The Coast Guard then took control of the vessel, officials said.

Syrian army says it will renew Aleppo attacks after Kurds reject ceasefire terms
A resident of Aleppo said the fighting appeared to cease overnight and footage from within the contested neighbourhoods showed that gunfire, which was constant over the last few days, had stopped. Members of the government security forces posted videos showing clearing operations being conducted in some of the neighbourhoods, as well as videos of underground tunnels being inspected that the SDF have used to transport fighters and weapons beneath Aleppo.

Trump's cold shoulder to Reza Pahlavi sparks speculation of US 'Venezuela model' in Iran
Trump demurred on Thursday when podcast host Hugh Hewitt asked if he would meet the 65-year-old son of Iran’s late shah. “I’ve watched him, and he seems like a nice person,” Trump said. “But I’m not sure that it would be appropriate at this point to do that as president.” “I think that we should let everybody go out there, and we’ll see who emerges. I’m not sure necessarily that I, that it would be an appropriate thing to do,” he added.

Relations between Somalia and the US hit a low point after Washington said it would pause further assistance that benefits the government in Mogadishu amid a dispute over the demolition of a World Food Programme warehouse. The US State Department's under secretary of foreign assistance said in an X post on Wednesday that Somali government officials had destroyed a US-funded WFP warehouse and illegally seized donor-funded food aid for vulnerable Somalis.

Next week's resident doctor strike cancelled after Scottish government offers 8% pay rise
The union is recommending members accept the new deal for a pay increase by around 8 per cent on average over the next two years, mirroring a similar offer accepted by other NHS staff. Scotland Health Secretary Neil Gray, who tabled the new deal, said that cancellation of the strikes was “great news” and its deal “further underlines our commitment to the 2023 pay and contract reform agreement.”

On December 16, the Salvation Army and Community Housing Aotearoa released the results of a recent survey, which found that in Auckland, the biggest city, the number of people living without shelter more than doubled between September 2024 and September 2025 from 426 to 940. This surge is the direct outcome of the National Party-led government’s brutal austerity measures, designed to make the working class pay for the deepening economic crisis and to divert more public money to the military to prepare for war.

Balkanization comes with many risks but it is the least violent way this evil empire ends. Liberalism is basically dead at this point so we can't vote our way out.

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.

History never ended to begin with. History does not end. History always moves forward.
The idea of the "end of history" was the ideology embedded in the United States due to being under the omnipresent eye of their capitalist overlords during the fall of the Soviet union. The United States deluded itself into believing that history was over what 9/11 was was an awakening from this phantasmagoria. 9/11 was the tipping point for the United States, imo from the heights of the 90s consumer culture to where we are today.

Malcolm X shirt. He approaches me alone, in the parking lot. A few days before I had to tell other homeless people, or are they homeless? Do they live on the block? Don’t think so much. Outside of the fence? Homeless. Inside of the fence? Valid.
He came up to me and asked me what the space was all about, and I explained it as plainly as I could: I sell tacos, there’s a tea cafe inside, and the venue is used on the weekends for various punk events.
He gets into my face. Clearly to g-check me, to let me know that this is in fact his neighborhood, his block, and I am a guest. Fair enough, it’s, as Gucci Mane said, the truth. Safe space.
Something tells me in that moment that that rhetoric isn’t more meaningful than the opinions of the man in the Malcolm X hoodie. His Malcolm X shirt wasn’t an accident. It was a direct challenge to my position. It said: “You know what this is. I know what this is. Let’s not pretend.”
I’ve read Malcolm X. I get compared to Malcolm X. I am, by most metrics, a white dude. I am telling this man and people like him, regardless of the community pantry, regardless of what I stand for, that he is not welcome here, be it by body language or by spoken word.
In this moment, I knew that contradictions could never be resolved. If this man became a daily or twice-weekly user of our pantry? He’d be banned before he got a chance to know everyone, and that everyone? Suspicion the whole time.
How could I possibly sit in a minor position of power, only serving this business that claims to be this welcoming space, while telling this man he can’t be here, for what is ultimately the color of his skin and his perceived class position?
I never liked telling "the homeless" to fuck off, and I never liked the position I was forced to play in the space, this masculine protector shit. Protecting what? Capital.
Never again. I have never felt so ashamed. So much like a cop. The ban I received, it only makes me feel that much more connected to that man in the Malcolm X hoodie. It has become inescapable to me that the contradictions between small businesses and revolutionaries cannot be squared, after all it was small businesses that pushed so strongly for "Whites Only" rules. It was the small time pool operator that poured bleach in the pools when black people swam, who chose to turn those gathering places into parking lots when they realized who would gather there.
I have no regrets, in that moment I thought that operating in that way would benefit the space. It's a safe space so it's good to protect it. Safe from what? Fascists? There are people with real power at the venue who support or at least admire fascism, racism, and bigotry. For the queer? There was no way of me knowing if this man was queer or not.
Safe space for profit. Simple as.
For the last couple of months I have been playing the role of "security" at the "safe space".
There is an interaction that sits in my head so deeply that I cannot shake it. Homeless, or just part of the block? Same shit, same class of person to the people running the business. To the people employed with protecting it.Malcolm X shirt. He approaches me alone, in the parking lot. A few days before I had to tell other homeless people, or are they homeless?
