What does Leftypol think about George Washington

My opinion on him as an American is pretty negative, obviously he owned slaves and that is really bad but I also don’t think that the revolution was anti-imperialist enough, obviously Karl Marx was not even born yet but even if he was there is no way that the founders would incorporate socialism into the constitution. And George Washington immediately started expanding territory westward so he wasn’t an anti-imperialist at all but he just hated taxes.

Epstein Fatigue

Am I the only one on here with Epstein fatigue?

I hate this shit. I hate how the Epstein debacle has even made leftists throw out solid understandings of class and imperialism. WHO GIVES A FUCKING SHIT if the ruling class are baby-eating Satan-worshipping Illuminati? THEY'RE STILL EXPLOITING PROLES AND SHOULD BE OPPOSED ON THIS REASON ALONE.

But what really fucking grinds my gears is seeing how tenaciously Democrats and liberals are desperate to turn Epstein into Russiagate 2.0. They sincerely believe they can use the Epstein shit to remove Trump from office and put him in jail for the rest of his life. First of all, as a cis woman who is also a sexual assault survivor, I can tell you that sexual assault is one of the hardest crimes to prove in a court of law. Even if Trump wasn't rich and didn't have the money to get away with his (alleged) crimes, there's still no possible way he'd ever get convicted of a statutory rape that occurred decades ago; there's simply way too much reasonable doubt. But also in this is seeing how garden-variety liberals are really, REALLLLLY pushing the "Epstein was Mossad" allegation, and that he was pimping out underage girls to get blackmail material on world leaders so they would be puppets of Israel. In the case of Trump, they're saying Trump is entirely a puppet of these "Zionist Jewish supremacists" like Epstein, and nearly everything Trump is doing policy-wise is purely in service to Israel. Liberals are even going to far as to call the current Iran War the "Epstein-AIPAC War", not just because Trump launched the war to distract from the Epstein files, but because Netanyahu has all the Epstein blackmail material on Trump and is using this to coerce him into going to war for Israel. This of course completely ignores how American Empire works and things like the US wanting to take control of Iran's oil and all that. But in this, it's very obvious to me that two things are going on here: 1. just like how the Democrats were pushing Russiagate during Trump's first term to "prove" that Trump was a "puppet of Russia" they're now using the Epstein files to "prove" Trump is a puppet of Israel/Zionists, and 2. the Democrats are now going to embrace anti-Zionism in the context of the alleged Epstein-Israel blackmail as a way of portraying themselves as the "peace party" like they did in the 2000s. There's zero doubt in my mind that most of this is motivated by the midterm elections and the Democrats' needing their party to win both the House and Senate in order to stay relevant.

But in all seriousness: Epstein serves the Democrats way more than it serves the radical left. I'm sick and tired of hearing about the "Epstein Class" as if the presence of the ultra-wealthy is somehow a bug and not a feature of capitalism. I'm sick of hearing that the problem with the ruling class is that they're immoral, and not that they exist in the first place. I just want liberals to shut the hell up and focus on issues that can actually be solved. Fuck this bullshit.

Trump predicts he will have ‘honour of taking Cuba’ amid power blackout
“I do believe I’ll be … having the honour of taking Cuba,” Trump added. “Whether I free it, take it – think I could do anything I want with it. You want to know the truth. They’re a very weakened nation right now.” Shortly after he spoke, the New York Times reported that US officials told Cuba to remove its president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, from power during recent talks, citing four unnamed sources familiar with the discussions.

'We are crazy radicals': Israel's anti-war protesters struggle against ruling consensus
While there is an elite consensus in Israeli society that this war will bring safety to the country, a few civil society voices have offered dissent. As well as a handful of protests, 80 Jewish and Arab organisations recently signed an open letter to US President Donald Trump and Netanyahu. Put together by It’s Time, a coalition of peacebuilding groups, the letter calls to “stop the war with Iran - a war whose goals are unattainable and that lacks a clear exit strategy”.

Despite the intense pressure, Hezbollah has managed to put up a strong fight on the very frontlines of south Lebanon, using a mixture of anti-tank guided munitions, drones and artillery.

The Cuban energy crisis

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

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

So i must ask, what can we do indiviually to help Cuba?

Honey pots, not just for glowies

The apparatus of surveillance operates on a fundamental asymmetry, and in the USA they seem to assume the tools of surveillance, infiltration, and deception are theirs alone to wield. This assumption is itself a vulnerability, a blind spot carved by decades of impunity. The honey pot, the web of trust, the slow cultivation of access, these are not technologies proprietary to the state and private GWOT actors. They are social dynamics, and like the other social dynamics of repression such as violent force, they can be redirected.

I will not elaborate on specific methods here. That would be not only irresponsible but strategically suicidal. The moment a tactic is named, it is catalogued, and the moment it is catalogued, it becomes less effective. What I can offer, without burning what works, is a confirmation that the web is not one-way. The agent who seeks trust must offer trust. The infiltrator who collects information must receive information. And in that exchange, if one is paying attention, the hunter becomes legible.

This is not theory. This is my experience in Pittsburgh.

Over those years, two individuals I considered comrades, people with whom I shared meals, organizing work, and the ordinary vulnerability of movement life, were turned. I know this now not because they confessed but because a patient, multi-layered honey pot revealed them to us. The method itself is not the story, and I wont burn the method. The story is what the method produced; a pattern. Inconsistencies in their accounts of where they had been, or how they received funding to survive. Questions that lingered too long on details no organizer needed to know. A sudden, inexplicable prosperity during periods of movement quiet, new equipment, paid travel, the kind of financial ease that does not arrive by accident. And finally, the confirmation; information fed to them in confidence, information that had no reason to travel beyond their ears, appearing later in the investigative posture of local authorities.

I now possess testimony from them, though they do not know I possess it. I have documentation of their movements, their communications, their quiet meetings with individuals whose affiliations they never disclosed, both private and public. I have the record of their lives as they lived it while pretending to live ours. And I have the knowledge, cold and finalized upon paper with evidence, that they were asked to gather information on me, and that they abided.

The betrayal is not the discovery. The betrayal is the confirmation of what suspicion already knew but could not prove. And in that confirmation lies a deeper truth; they were caught not because we are smarter, but because they assumed we were not paying attention. They assumed the tools of surveillance were theirs alone. They assumed the web spun only one way. They assumed that because they were watching us, no one was watching them.

Pittsburgh taught me otherwise. The apparatus has its blind spots. The hunters carry their own vulnerabilities. And a movement that learns to read the pattern of attention directed at it can, with patience and creativity, learn to return that attention in kind. Think of some creative ways that this can be done to yourself, and if necessary discuss it with potential comrades as related to the person who is suspicious. Not to surveil for the sake of surveillance, but to survive as organizers. Not to become the state, but to render its instruments visible, and in that visibility, to render them less useful to the bourgeoisie.

I will not say how the web was spun. That knowledge belongs to those who need it, and they will find it in the same place we did, within the realms of human creativity, through loss, through attention, through the slow accumulation of pattern recognition that comes only from having been burned and refusing to be burned again. What I will say is this, the apparatus is not omniscient. It is staffed by people with mortgages, marriages, fears, weaknesses and the same capacity for carelessness as anyone else. They leave traces. They generate records. They hold unrelated secrets that they might do anything to keep from getting out. They live lives that can be read, if one knows how to look. And sometimes, if you are patient, if you are creative, if you are willing to learn from your own near-destruction, you can catch them in the act of attempting to catch you.

Leftypol was right about MAGA and most of the “far right.”

These people are actually insane. They have no shame.

For years they claimed to be anti-war, anti-establishment, anti-elite. Now they cheer interventions, ignore the Epstein stuff, and defend literally anything Trump does. No standards left at all.

At this point the only thing they consistently care about is culture war slop.

Trump has betrayed them on basically every front that originally made the movement interesting. And instead of noticing, they just double down harder.

As someone closer to the Ron Paul libertarian side of things now, I genuinely feel alienated from this entire crowd of right wingers now. I can't stand these people.

I used to think MAGA was at least a messy populist revolt against the system. Now it just looks like another loyal faction inside it

I want to wake them up, but I can't because they're retarded… so honestly I wish this whole cringe “far right” internet ecosystem would disappear. I want the democrats to humiliate them in the midterms. And yes democrats are garbage too but at least they're going to humiliate them and their disgusting garbage president.

Tl:dr i feel completely alienated from the right. they are total morons. The right is dying, and it deserves to die.

/Cuba Crisis/

I decided to make a thread about the Cuba crisis since Trump has made threats yesterday and the media has been manufacturing consent at an alarming rate. As a US citizen I never usually get pissed off whenever Trump says something terrible but Jesus Christ his comments on “Taking Cuba” genuinely threw me into a rage and it is also infuriating that this is being done on autopilot as some B-Team side-project while Trump rapes Iran.

Racism among leftcommunism

It's time to discuss the problem of insane racism and chauvinism among leftcoms.

Virtually every leftcom on the internet constantly posts "ironic" racist memes, uses racist terminology, shits on the Third World and somehow conveniently supports the foreign policy of first world countries

How do we deal with this problem? Can leftcommunism be salvaged? Or should they be banned?

The US should end aid to Israel.

The United States simply does not need to be involved in this never ending morally void vendetta over a tiny scrap of land with no significant nature resources and very little actual strategic value. Israel is not necessary for the United States to continue its commanding military presence in the region. Other nations provide better strategic locations and do so for considerably less money and trouble.

Americans have already given Israel more aid than South Vietnam and Afghanistan and there is no end in sight. It's time to walk away from this quagmire. The majority of American voters agree with this, and American foreign policy should represent the will of the people.

Military aid to Israel is illegal under an American law called the "Leahy Law" This law forbids military aid to nations that violate human rights. Israel imprisons hundreds of people with "Administrative Detention" which is jailing people for indeterminate period of time without a trial or even pressing charges. There are also serious allegations of torture and mistreatment of these people who are jailed unfairly.

In fact, any American aid to Israel is illegal under the Symington Amendment which forbids aid to any nation with a nuclear program that refuses inspections of its nuclear sites and does not sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,

American miliary aid to Israel has also presented a security risk. Israel began selling military technology to Communist China in the late 1980's. The sales increased until Israel was second only to Russia in sales of Miliary Technology to China. These sales were instrumental in the modernization of China's military.

In Summary, American military aid to Israel is illegal, immoral, and unnecessary for the security of the United States.

Veganism and Communism

Before I start about whole topic of this post I would like to point out that this post mainly focus on Communists and not other tendencies among "radical leftism" because their justification may systematically vary and require different approach so I would like to keep it rather focused on concrete mindset in certain group of people.

Alot of people who become Communists today may have different reasons for their radical outlook of current state of things, but what fundamentally may cause for these people even to look critically at current state of things is definetly whole history of struggle between oppressed and oppressing and analysis itself on how even does this struggle effect people's state of being and how we as people can eventually build a movement which does opposse current state of things which as we know dynamically change in this whole history of struggle in name of class intrests.

But how does it even relate to Veganism?

Honestly it does very much relate in contemporary developed states because we live in very unique times where we as people (oppossed to third world countries) can consciously decide between consuming products which are result of animal exploitation and which aren't, but as we know Communism doesn't come from moralist standpoint as I pointed it out in first part of the post, but this fact isn't even about morality (or ethics) itself but it's about our reasoning in first place, we take certain analysis as something true and based on certain methodology we come to conclusion that class dominance (oppression) is something which can and even should be overcome in this whole history of struggle dynamic, but we can argue that slave fighting against laws which impose slavery on them is in their intrest, and we can go even further in Communist analysis that certain classes may share certain intrests in this whole history as for example early bourgeoisie fought against slavery because it was in their intrest, even tho they didn't share their status and conditions in state of things they found theirself.

Modern unconscious proletarians itself doesn't care about things like overthrowing or critiquing current state of things because they mostly lack any class consciousness, but proletarians who are class conscious (communists) should be aware of fact that capitalism doesn't only take advantage of other classes but also of nature itself, I'm not talking about humanity itself fighting against nature for control to ensure their survival but capitalism literally take advantage of natural world for their benefits and destroy our planet slowly for material gains which include exploatition of animals, and here I come to my main point.

Why it is then that Communists consciousslly tend to ignore the fact that Capitalism is also deadly for not only us proletarians but also for nature and animals, alot of Communists take struggle with (proletarian:) LGBTQ+ people, Women and Racial Minorities but how it is that "these" Communists don't care about other forms of exploatition which include animal cruelty and enviromental catastrophe, my point isn't to take it as main case of our struggle (because main scope of communist analysis is CLASS struggle) but i want to point out that even tho we have perfect tool for critique and analysis conditions in which Capitalism take advantage of enviroment and animal lifes for their individual gain yet most of "these" Communists ignore it.

I am aware that Veganism is mainly an ethical choice and problem with some of fanatical Vegans is imposing their values on people which can't or doesn't even have material basis or knownledge to switch to Vegan diet, but most Vegans are against anti-historical and eurocentrict analysis of world, they tend to showcase how people in contemporary states have choice yet they refuse to switch because of societal norms (which are definetly fueled by bourgeoisie in oder to keep their profits) but I see it as something which is (as other forms of social struggles like LGBTQ+ rights, Feminism etc…) rather something rooted in class struggle, alot of Vegans ignore class struggle and alot of Communists ignore how their own tools points out that not only us humans are being exploitated by the current system, yet alot of Communists just look for excuses, my whole post isn't about trying to turn Communism into intersectionality/activism as some of Western Marxists or Post-Modernists tend to, but to bring an debate on why you or other Communists don't care about animal and enviromental exploitation and why we even should in first place.

I think we shouldn't be modern day superheroes which are here to help everyone from everywhere but we should acknownledge that we as people living in developed societies can make a choice which doesn't involve animal exploitation or enviromental decay.

TL;DR

Communists have tools which perfectly showcase how Capitalism doesn't only exploit proletariat but also an animals for profits yet Communists mostly don't care about it, whole point of post is to ask why "you" as Communist (or whatever you align with), don't care about animal exploation in daily life and just look for excuses why you shouldn't switch for vegan diet such.

>As an individual I can't alone change how society continue to exploit animals!!!
<I agree that individuals don't change much as it goes for anything in history including Communism, if you think otherwise with your shitty X interpretation of Communism then you're just an Utopist, this post isn't about changing society through individual decisions but actually discussison about topic of Veganism and Communism.

This movie was fucking awesome. I have seen a lot of PTA, but also Battle of Algiers and all of the New Left movies from various countries and their respective movements, and the film lives up to those broadly speaking.

FARKHA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL, PALESTINE

Invitation to
29th Farkha Festival in Palestine 2026 –
Fighting against Genocide and Apartheid
Summer 2026 in Farkha/ West Bank, Palestine

March 13, 2026

Dear Comrades and Friends,
the Festival Committee, the Youth of the Palestinian People Party (former Palestinian Communist Party), and Albad Cultural Center have decided that despite, or rather because of, the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine, a Farkha Festival will take place this year. Because resistance means life.

We invite you to participate in one week of volunteer work, political discussions and workshops about the Palestinian struggles towards liberation and justice and the right of self determination, struggles of Palestinian women, left perspectives and cultural activities in the village of Farkha in Palestine.

The 29th edition of the Farkha Festival will be held in August 2026. Before the festival starts we will organize a three day long political tour to places and regions of resistance in Palestine to learn more about concrete local struggles directly from political activists and organizations on the ground, in order to know more how to continue the internationalist struggle.
Farkha Festival is rooted in and inspired by the work of the communist leader Tawfeeq Zayyad, a national poet and politician who was elected mayor of Nazareth in 1973. Tawfeeq played a key role in pressuring the occupation government to end its repression towards Palestinians – those who remained in their homes after the Nakba „1948 war„ and now live inside Israel. Because Tawfeeq tried to bring about change from within, he was constantly threatened by the occupying forces, his projects for the community of Nazareth were rejected, and his funding was significantly cut. Nevertheless, he managed to gather thousands of people every year to organize volunteer festivals in Nazareth and, with the help of the volunteers’ labor, to implement the Nazareth municipality’s plans without much state funding.

After having taken part in volunteer festivals in Nazareth, comrades brought the idea back home to Farkha. The Farkha Festival, has since focused on the collective works in the village, in renovating the main school, kinder gardens, and the public spaces, also trying to protect the lands threatened from confiscation, and a joint work in the ecological community garden project “Qamr Al-Balad” and has set itself the goal of linking precisely political struggles for liberation in Palestine with other local and international struggles, as well as with issues of environmental and climate justice. This includes the promotion of sustainable ecological agriculture, the cultivation of native plants and the passing on of this knowledge to the next generation, as well as the political debate on women’s rights, gender relations and decolonial struggles. With this spirit and tradition of resistance we want to invite you to join our resistance to dismantle the Israeli regime of genocide and settler colonialism in Palestine.

Farkha Festival has always been a place of international solidarity with the struggling Palestinian people, but also with struggles around the world – whether in occupied Kurdistan, occupied Western Sahara, the Basque country or elsewhere.

We are looking forward to welcome you!

The Kremlin is persecuting even the pro-Kremlin Communist Party

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

why?

Why does it seem like most of the heavy handed police repression and operations in USA that use lethality have been against anarchists? like im talking mass raids in operations, mass arrest sweeps, targeted killings, why did they stop doing that with the more marxist groups like they did in the 80s back and suddenly just seem hyper focused on anarchist. like the cointrlpero of the usa government against them now seems way more harsh than on other lefty groups. anarchists back then basically got to fuck around in communes and get surveilled but not actively destroyed. now fast forward and it's like the opposite. after 9/11 you start seeing way more entrapment cases against anarchists than actual marxist groups, the green scare after was straight up hunting anarchists with cases facing decades, murders by cops, multi-jurisdiction tactical raids on the same day across multiple states, RICOS, and now trump signs a bill naming "anarchist jurisdictions" specifically as the highest lvls of "terror" but the dems been doing the same shit just quieter with biden's and obamas doj still prosecuting 2020 protestors n anarchist being killed by police under biden. meanwhile ml groups mostly just host panels at universities and don't get their doors kicked in at all, they dont have cops visibly come to show force to intimidate them at meetings even but they do all this for anarchist. like why did the state stop caring about leninists who actually wanna seize state power and start obsessing over black blocs who just wanna smash windows. what changed

The drivers said their families can barely afford food since nearly all their earnings go to fuel costs. After the massive price hike on March 10, their daily income dropped by as much as ₱500. They announced during the protest their participation in the nationwide transport strike starting March 19. In Davao City, the United Davao Delivery Riders Association (UDDRA) likewise demanded the immediate removal of excise and value-added taxes on oil products.

/Appalachia/

🧣 Discuss Politics related to the mighty occupied nation of of Appalachia ⛏️
It’s time Leftypol pays more attention to the beautiful land of Appalachia. As an upper Appalachian myself o can say that this is Easily one of the most historically proletarian places in America because the coal miner’s union back in the day bravery fought cops and the national guard, however unfortunately post-red-scare the Appalachian people became surf-brained and got into an Abusive relationship with the Republican Party and conservatism in general. Appalachia has been victim to unequal exchange in what is supposed to be it’s own country, they shut down our steel mills and do nothing but mine our mountains and frack our fields and it doesn’t go to funding our schools, hospitals, or infrastructure, of course this is the case in all of America but especially in Appalachia, it’s basically a neo-colony in its own country. We must help re-radicalize the Appalachian people! Rednecks of the world Unite!

preventing circular arguments

third world proletarians, the most exploited on earth, regularly ask why 1st world proletarians don't do more. why don't they rebel? why don't they have revolutions? why have the first world proletariat not lifted a finger against their governments? the conclusion is treatlerism. they are willing and gleeful collaborators who benefit from plunder and so have become a "bourgeois proletariat" (engels said this about english workers in the late 19th century) fine. but it is a futile effort to ask someone who supposedly benefits from imperialism to fight it. they are your oppressor. do not beg your oppressor to stop oppressing you. that's naive cuckoldry at best. the next question then becomes, why do the third world proletariat not destroy the first world? the answer is they are too weak. they lack sovereignty. they don't have nukes. the imperial core sanctions, coups, embargoes, invades, bombs them every time they try to rise up. the only one brave enough to rise up seem to be the hyper religious ones who have no interest in communism, and they tend to get destroyed because they don't have a materialist understanding and just vibe based on the idea that god will give them the strength to win against impossible odds. not good… ok so what we have is a pretty bleak situation. the 1st world proletariat won't revolt because they benefit, and the 3rd world proletariat can't revolt because they're weak. What is left? bernsteinism? thinking capitalism will destroy itself if you wait long enough? embracing climate collapse and post apocalyptic scavenger theses? well that's anticommunist and opportunist. anprim ideology?

we have to get to the root here. i'm sick of the circular arguments where third worlders/worldists beg treatlers to stop being treatlers , and treatlers antagonize third worlders and tell them to win against impossible odds without any help from within the belly of the beast?

certain posters on here like felix says you need a crisis in the imperial core that accelerates economic collapse to create conditions for proletarian revolution. but nobody wants to go around blowing up power stations on the off chance it makes a lobotomized population of reactionaries who can't even point to iran or ukraine on a map suddenly pick up guns and attack the imperial core superpower.

what is the solution? how do you get around questions of nuclear armageddon, 1st world apathy, 3rd world weakness, 2nd world opportunism, religious idealism, and climate collapse? Is there a solution at all?

A case for social-liberalism, progressivism and social-democracy.

I am not completely against socialism (mainly democratic socialism) and communism/marxism, but I think modern society evolved in a way we should prioritize freedom+democracy over any authoritarian regime.

We should organize society within this framework and try to reform the system from within.

The idea of "revolution" is a broad idea. Reform and progress can be considered "revolutions" and I make the case they actually are grat revolutions, because they are part of a greater consesus instead of an authoritarian takeover. They tend to be more stable and irreversible because of the strong social consensus over time.

We should invest in education to teach people socialist ideas so they grow up being strong reformists and end up changing society over time and fight against right-wing radicalism. That's what I think.

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.

What's the consensus on these subjects ?

Hey /leftypol/, the more I'm reading about these topics the more I get diverging interpretations that seem unreconcilable. So, what's the global consensus on these notions ?

>historical materialism
The structure of society, which reflects the mode of production (capitalism, socialism, feudalism etc), creates antagonist groups with structural interdependance aswell as structural contradictory modes of existence (i.e. the proletariat will aim to maximize their salaries, but the bourgeoisie will attempt to extract the most surplus value from the proletariat).
Over time, this creates change and conflict within societies, giving way to paradigmic societal change (i.e. feudalism -> capitalism -> …)
However, another interpretation seems to see it through the lens of the development in productive forces. In this case, the contradiction ceases to be between classes, but rather between the development of productive forces with the relations of production (i.e. feudalism preventing capitalism from developing because of taxes or irrational norms).
The first interpretation makes me tend to believe that there is no gradual change from one society towards another, and simply a dialectical movement towards the abolition of classes, whilst the second one seems to be much more technology-centric and linear.

>dialectical materialism
This one seems to be the most controversial one. From what I can gather, it seems that it originated with Engels and that it posits that the material world in eternal motion driven by contradictory forces and structured around 3 natural laws. However, doesn't this imply some form of naturalism ? Nonetheless, another interpretation that I have picked up accounts for it being the idea that man is in a dialectical interaction with his environment, by which he is able to consciously work on it whilst also being determined by the latter. This interpretation can be imo hardly derived easily from the first one.

>alienation
Every individual is intrinsically a social and creative potential, by which he can be fulfilled or alienated. Alienation here refers to the mechanisms inherent to capitalism which "alienates" the proletariat from that potential by reducing them to cogs.
In this view, the dialectic seems to change again and shifts towards individual interactions between the position someone holds in a factory and his social and creative potential.
"Humanist" marxists accept this dialectic first and foremost apparently but it seems contradictory to the Marx of the Capital.

I don't really see how all these can be reconciled. Unless the dialectic just becomes a very trivial method by which change is explained by conflicting tendencies/forces, they seem to operate somewhat on a fundamentally different level. So, what gives ? Is the dialectic purely a method by which to analyze change ? Or does it describe a real life movement ?

Epstein & The Alt-Right as a Psyop

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

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

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

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

Dealing with Glowies, lessons from the past

The 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul provided a vivid demonstration of how even decentralized movements can successfully detect and neutralize infiltrators through collective practice. According to contemporaneous reporting, members of the RNC Welcoming Committee, an anarchist federation of anonymous affinity groups, systematically photographed law enforcement during confrontations and worked to memorize faces over the months.

This practice paid off concretely. At a rally in Mears Park, a protester recognized a man who looked like an anarchist or leftist, dark clothes, red flag, backpack, disheveled appearance, and realized she had photographed him days earlier during a police raid on the Welcoming Committee's headquarters. She spread word to other protesters, who confronted the man and his two associates and told them to leave the park. The men departed and entered an unmarked sedan whose license plate traced back to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office detective unit. Private investigators associated with the affinity groups were able to recover these plates.

Later the same day, protesters identified two additional men during a planned march, one singled out simply because he was wearing brand, new tennis shoes, a subtle marker of inexperience or incongruity with movement norms. Those men also left in an unmarked sedan.

Academic assessment of security culture during the RNC found it had "a mixed record". It succeeded in "frustrating shorter-term infiltrators operating at the movement's peripheries, but "generally failed to prevent longer-term infiltrators from gaining others' trust" . This distinction is crucial to understand. The men identified in Mears Park and the march were likely peripheral operatives which is shorter-term infiltrators whose behavior or appearance had not yet fully assimilated to movement norms. The deeper penetrations, the operatives who spent months building relationships and trust, remained undetected.

>>Detection Protocols, what the people can actually do

The RNC example illuminates several concrete practices that movements employ to detect infiltrators –

>>Documentation and Memory Work. Systematic photography of law enforcement during operations creates a visual database that can be referenced when unfamiliar faces appear in movement spaces. The protester who recognized the raid participant did so because she had committed faces to memory and could cross-reference against her documentation.

>>Attunement to Incongruity. The "brand-new tennis shoes" observation reflects a deeper practice, noticing when someone's presentation does not quite align with environmental norms. Infiltrators often reveal themselves through subtle mismatches, clothing that is too new, gear that is too clean, behaviors that are slightly off. As security culture literature often notes, this involves "inverting the gaze to inspect others' corporeality" learning to read bodies and presentations for signs of inauthenticity".

>>Collective Deliberation. Detection is not an individual act but a collective process. The protester who recognized the infiltrator did not act alone; she "spread the word to other protesters," enabling group assessment and collective response . This distributed vetting mechanism compensates for the absence of centralized trusted authority.

>>Graduated Trust. Movements implicitly operate on a spectrum of trust. Newcomers are granted access to public actions and open meetings but are not immediately entrusted with sensitive information or planning roles. Trust must be earned through demonstrated commitment, risk-sharing, and alignment with movement values over time . This graduated approach limits the damage that short-term infiltrators can inflict.

Good news

Capitalism will end in a few decades.
I concluded this by playing a flash game called Oiligarchy which you should play for yourself and see the eco ending:
https://armorgames.com/play/2607/oiligarchy (Original)
https://www.hackedfreegames.com/game/3195/oiligarchy (Hacked/Cheats)

and by searching "when will the world run out of oil" on Google, which said:
<Based on current consumption rates and known reserves, the world is estimated to run out of economically accessible oil in approximately 50 years, or around 2052–2060.

And I once read this guy called Reza Negristani who wrote a book (Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials) about how oil is capitalism and its sentient, like he was saying capitalism needs oil, also the west runs on oil and its obviously important to them. Lots of guys like Michael Parenti and Jacques Derrida and whatnot wrote big books on how the west invades for oil, fights for oil and like is living because of oil and stuff.

So yeah, there won't be an ecological collapse / doomsday. West should fall soon. Unless they use nukes for M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) like in one of the game endings.

To address some concerns:
>We're already past the point of no return, this ecological damage is irreversible, we're fucked.
No I'm pretty sure not, but if we are its like… why aren't you doing whatever you want if its your final days? Go.
>This is just a bunch of incomprehensible stringed together info, you're getting your source from a videogame?
A flash game actually, and yes, because it is very accurate and whoever made it is probably a genius. We should try to reach out to the studio that made it, see if the guys are still alive, its like decades old by now, you should be treating it like one of those old big books by smart guys you like so much because they're old and that means experienced with ancient wisdom even if you don't admit that's what you actually think.
>The west will adapt and become more eco friendly bourgeois like in the ending.
NO, they shouldin't, its like the math I did - they run out of oil = their economy collapses = farewell west.
>The game is libcoded, dems are shown as "good eco friendly bourgeois"
So what? You don't understand the rest of the truth in the game. You are truthless.

<Oiligarchy is a 2008 satirical browser-based strategy game created by Molleindustria that critiques the influence of the oil industry on politics and foreign policy. Players manage an oil corporation, drilling for resources, bribing politicians, and influencing elections to maintain a fossil-fuel-dependent economy until resources deplete.
https://www.molleindustria.org/
They made other games, I gotta check them out, they have truth.

Just because something is simple and common sense doesn't mean its not true, in fact truth is in plain sight where you're not looking. "It can't be that simple" - but I'M PRETTY SURE it is.
So, just return to being normal? Stop worrying or caring so much, goo goo gaga yourselves, things will just sort themselves out.

Also if you're in the west (especially America, Western Europe, Anglophone nations) you should move out, things might become chaotic.

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Khun

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

He compares this to social and political revolution and it reminds me of the whole Scientific Socialist thing about the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes.

I'm curious. Is their a current day left wing accelerationist movement?

I'm talking about the classical marxist ideology that posited that we need to just accelerate capitalism til it just caves in on itself and then take over after that. not the fascist " lets shoot every poc at the grocery store" accelerationism.

What do these guys even do for tangible praxis?

The March 22-23 referendum on changes to the judicial system has become a major political test for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s far-right government, which faces an election next year. The debate over the legal shake-up has escalated into a broader confrontation between the prime minister and her political opponents.

Gains for the left and far right in French municipal elections
Sunday’s first-round results showed a significant increase in votes for the LFI, which scored high in the north, in the town of Roubaix, where it could win the mayor’s position. It also saw significant vote increases in cities including Toulouse, Lille and Limoges, after succeeding in mobilising young voters. In France’s second biggest city, Marseille, the RN’s Franck Allisio was level after the first round with the incumbent left-wing mayor, Benoit Payan, at about 35.4 per cent, as they head into next weekend’s run off.

Argentine court probe finds alleged US$5 million deal tied to Milei’s promotion of $LIBRA
Argentina’s judicial investigation into the collapse of the $LIBRA cryptocurrency has added a new and potentially damaging element for President Javier Milei. A draft recovered from businessman Mauricio Novelli’s phone describes an alleged US$5 million agreement in exchange for presidential backing for the project, based on forensic material incorporated into the case file. Investigators were able to restore the deleted note, although there is still no public proof that any such agreement was formally validated by the government.

“Turkey and some of its allies were told, through official channels, that this operation would take days and be completed in four days,” Aydintasbas, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, said in an interview with the Serbestiyet news site. “You cannot tell a Nato ally that you have made a four-day plan and then extend the operation to 14 days. In a sense, this was also a betrayal of the regional countries.”

Building Alternative Media

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

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

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

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

Would a vanguard party led revolution even work in the modern USA?

What i mean is with policy like contelpro, and with the feds just being able to track pretty much everyone that'd raise alarms through their technology as well as the technology of people associated with them due to the insane reach of the servalence state, how could a centralized organization like a revolutionary vanguard even do its job of leading and recruiting revolutionary forces whilst also building duel power and not be infiltrated and broken up from the inside?

Like theirs a reason that most active terrorist groups operating in the us have just started using cell structures and "leaderless resistance", basically being loosely related cells of at most a dozen people, but thats not really something us commies can do.

Every accusation is a confession

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Evolution of the vanguard

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

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

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

I ask you on whose side of the conflict will the working class be? I will answer for myself personally—in this case I will be on the side of “fascist” Brazil against “democratic” Great Britain. Why? Because in the conflict between them it will not be a question of democracy or fascism. If England should be victorious, she will put another fascist in Rio de Janeiro and will place double chains on Brazil. If Brazil on the contrary should be victorious, it will give a mighty impulse to national and democratic consciousness of the country and will lead to the overthrow of the Vargas dictatorship.

Destroy capitalism and replace oil with hemp. No more need for petroleum based plastics, papers, toilet papers, foam, cardboard, COVID masks and other materials and hempseed oil can power a G20 diesel engine (like a BMW G series) if you ran it carbon negative with biochar and ethanol transesterification and a mechanical manual oil presser for the seeds. You can make hemp biodiesel this way. Will need to mix in lye and other ingredients. Could also be carnon neutral if you used methanol. Only difference is carbon neutral releases no carbon into the atmosphere, carbon negative absorbs carbon from the atmosphere - could cause global cooling and Ice Age if this were as widespread as petroleum engines.

The American 'Proletariat' Does Not Exist

The American 'working class' produce zero surplus value through their net nonproductive labor and physically cannot sustain themselves due to deindustrialization. Each and every single lumpen settler owes more than forty trillion in exports to repay their debt to the rest of the planet and survives off the surplus labor of non-americans from Berlin to Siberia. Even ignoring the countless acts of terrorism committed by the burgereich, the consumerism of treats must end. As the pedotariat of epsteinland must work for several years and export to maybe repay even 30 percent of what occupied turtle island owes to the non-american surplus value producing global proletariat.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
TL;DR Our friend Erik is in jail for allegedly trolling a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, and we’re putting together a bail fund for him. If we don't get him out in 10 days or locate a foster the local animal shelter may put down his dog.

—

Hey everyone. We do not come here lightly and it is with a heavy heart that we come to you and ask for monetary assistance. Not for ourselves but for a dear friend of ours who was arrested Tuesday February 24th 2026 by the police.

Sometime in November of 2025, not long after the Kirk assassination, our friend allegedly got into a conflict on Instagram with a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, when she visited their city. In this conflict he allegedly referenced Kirk's assassination and that was enough for her to take these as threats on her life and call the police on him and an investigation was conducted where they allegedly found evidence of plans to harass Bennet next time she visits their City.

He never threatened to hurt or kill her, but they live in one of the most conservative areas in the the country where stochastic terrorists like Bennet can get away with whatever and sic the police on political dissidents.

We spoke with the detective handling his case and he informed me that the state is only seeking probation for him, but as many of you know we live in a tiered justice system and the first hurdle in that justice system is bail bonds. Despite the state not seeing him as dangerous and not seeking to put him in prison or charge him with a felony they set his bail to $20K with his first court date being March 31st.

We will have to go the bail bondsman route which means we need $2k to pay the bail bondsman and get him out of jail. Or somehow raise the full $20k. Past this our friend will need assistance with court fees, lawyer fees, living and eating expenses, and more.

My friend Erik has been experiencing housing instability for over 8 months now living out of a motel in the area. He just landed a full time position 2 weeks ago and was finally going to see some stability in his life which makes the timing of all this incredibly tragic. The sooner we get him out of jail and back to his job the less disruptive this will be to his life.

His dog Jax was also taken to a local animal Shelter by the police and he has 10 days to claim him and if he does not claim Jax then Jax might be put down. Suffice to say he cannot claim Jax while in jail.

Please donate whatever you can time is of the essence here.

"HOUDINI magazine is the brainchild of Erik Houdini and a faceless army of working class—writers, artists, musicians, researchers, scientists, producers, first responders, film makers, journalists, clerks, taggers, goths, 'reformed' felons, juggalos, janitors, freaks, radicals, truckers, addicts, activists, schemers, plotters, connivers, psychonauts, conspirators, swashbucklers, dastardly dudes, femme fatales, them fatales— and whoever else decided that today was the day we start giving a shit about each other.

Well over half a million total visitors. The big dogs of the underground. HOUDINI exists to reclaim counterculture from the branded dead. Anti-corpo, broke as fuck, grindset bros who read Marx. Hustlers who respect their own, living theory without reading it, tired of being ground into soylent by the powers that be. Chaos magicians who dog-ear Kropotkin. Real, human, DIY, underground counterculture.

We believe a true counterculture, should it be forged, must be anti-capitalist. It must be anti-algorithmic. We must break through the prison walls of capital's psychic warfare on our souls and into a new era.

Remember: No doomers. Uplift. Struggle."

Multipolaroids won. Now what?

Sakaism, ethnic reductionism and mutipolar theory are now the mainstream opinion of the Western Left. There are divisions between them of course. Most importantly between the "US centric" and the "China centric". But it's safe to say that the new socialism of the fools is up and popular in the leftwing sects. How can communists work in this enviroment?

financial/prediction markets and gommunism

I make a living off daytrading stocks, I'm not a millionaire but I consider myself comfortable, I enjoy what I do and like the freedom it brings me but even then I understand it's parasitical and doesn't really provide any value to society, I'm not building anything or providing any service people need, I'm just extracting value by picking the right moves at the right time.

what will happen to people like me if the US empire falls? from what I understand the financial world is pure bullshit that syphons money from real industries through exploitation, tech, stocks, crypto, AI, it all depends on the ability of the empire to exploit the third world.

what happens when the exploitation stops and the world starts running on a real economy based on labour instead of speculation? do construcion workers get huge raises and people like me end up in the streets? can traders and speculators be useful in socialism?

/MENA/#1

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

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

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

No leftist over the age of 20 now will be relevant to the real movement, anywhere on Earth

All the non-movements and anti-politics are outpacing the hitlerites and multipolarists of the "left" and "right". For better or for worse, most workers on Earth have a profund apathy or disdain for liberals wrapped in red invoking the ghosts of 20th century opportunists. This is why multipolaroids endlessly whine on twitter. And cling to whatever psycho who kills in a spree. I would even predict that all of the people over 20 years old in 2026 presenting themselves as "communists" will end up fighting against the proletariat in this century, in different places and times, if they ever do something. The teenage communist larper crying about geopolitics on twitter will denounce the general strikes of the future.

West Bloomfield Temple Israel attack

Stop calling this a false flag. The man who attacked this Zio gathering place only did so out of his justified anger over the murder of his family in Lebanon by the Zionist entity. Every and all Zios are NOT “innocent” and should never be mourned.

Realize that the left only shoots itself in the foot when they denounce legitimate acts of resistance as “false flags” and the people engaged in said resistance as “agent provocateurs.” The Years of Lead in Italy were successful for western imperialists largely because communists kept accusing other communists of being provocateurs, e.g. the Italian Communist Party claiming the Red Brigades were agents. When Greek anarchists occupied the Polytechnic in Athens in 1973, the Greek Communist Party denounced them as “CIA agents”, only for the Greek communists to claim credit for the occupations when students from the general student body took over. Likewise, during the George Floyd Uprising, Black activists who engaged in radical direct actions were accused of being agent provocateurs by white peace police. The problem is NEVER comrades who engage in violence aimed at oppressors but ALWAYS the people spreading lies about those direct actions being “false flags.” Learn this.

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

Why do people still support Trump?

According to CNN (If you can trust them) only 38% of Americans support Trump, that is small compared to the majority but that still means that 129 Million people support Trump after everything. And I genuinely don’t know how, because there are many rich country-club republicans who support him and it makes sense for them by why rural Appalachian farmers support him?!?! And they don’t just support him, they would literally die for this man, they are hive-minded-cattle, many boomers literally don’t speak to their children who don’t support Trump. I don’t even think similar populist strong-men like Putin have supporters like this (Correct me if I’m wrong). Like maybe you could say that Mao, Castro, Tito, Nasser, or Kim Il-Sung had ride or die supporters like this but that makes sense because they improved the lives of their people, Trump has not improved the lives of the working people at all, like what does a rural, Appalachian, Gen X, farmer get out of supporting Trump? Trump just made this hypothetical person unable to go to a nearby hospital, unable to by affordable gas or fertilizer, and in his first term Trump killed his mom with Covid.
I know that many will reply “They’re stupid don’t try to dissect it” but I will anyways.
First of all for decades the Republican Party and even the Democratic Party has gutted education in order to make these people stupid.
Second of all whenever something is bad Trump gives them an explanation weather it be Brown people, trans people, or Chyna, it is bullshit but democrats which are the only other option and they don’t provide any explanation, and since they are uneducated and lack critical thinking skills they buy Trumps shit.
Third of all the rural working class is deeply evangelical and in their culture they teach their kids to look up to their abusive fathers so as adults these KKKhristians imprint on Trump.
Fourth of all Trump is a Slopulist and he larps as Anti-Elitist during his elections by calling out lobbyists and industrial complexes but goes back on it when he is back in office.
Fifth of all, boomers are stuck-up and don’t want to admit when they have been bamboozled so they think that they have no choice but to keep supporting him.
Sixth of all, culturally among suburban liberals they are taught to be respectful to others with different political views while rural conservatives are taught the opposite so no one ever wants to slap someone shit into these people.

China to Enshrine Xi-Era Ethnic Policy in New Law

>Next week, China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) is expected to adopt a Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress (Law) [民族团结进步促进法]—designed to codify General Secretary Xi Jinping’s new orthodoxy for governing China’s ethnic minorities. That doctrine, known as the “Important Thinking on Improving and Strengthening Ethnic Work,” reflects the “Second-Generation Ethnic Policies” promoted by several prominent scholars. In a nutshell, this new “assimilationist” approach aims “not just to strengthen citizens’ sense of belonging to a larger, unified Chinese nation under the Party but also to mute expression of other—in the Party’s view, competing—identities.”

>Xi’s “Important Thinking” canonically consists of a dozen requirements, or “Twelve Musts” [十二个必须]. Echoing the scholarly proposals, these include prioritizing “forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation [or Zhonghua minzu]” [铸牢中华民族共同体意识], “building a shared spiritual home,” and “promoting extensive interactions, interchanges, and intermingling [交往交流交融] among different ethnic groups.” The doctrine also views ethnic issues through a securitized lens, emphasizing the duty of all ethnic groups to “consciously safeguard national unity, national security, and social stability.”

>Xi’s ethnic policy, moreover, calls for “correctly grasping” “Four Pairs of Relationships” [四对关系]—a concept that the Law’s drafters expressly invoke. One relationship concerns the hierarchy between the Han-centric Zhonghua culture and various ethnic cultures: the former is the “trunk [or backbone],” while the latter are subordinate to it, likened to “branches and leaves.” “Only when the roots are deep and the trunk is strong can the branches and leaves flourish,” Xi said in a seminal 2021 speech on ethnic governance.

>The Law is envisioned as “a comprehensive and fundamental law in the field of ethnic work.” Like statutes of this nature, it primarily contains general policy statements and imposes broad obligations on a wide array of state and private actors, with few enforceable rules. But it should not be dismissed as merely symbolic. The Law would legitimize and entrench Xi’s new doctrine by placing it on a firm legal footing. And, precisely because of its open-textured policy goals, it would supply a capacious statutory basis—à la the 2015 National Security Law [国家安全法]—for all official actions that broadly align with those goals.

>The Law’s high-profile legislative journey demonstrates its importance. The Communist Party expressly called for its enactment in the 2024 Third Plenum Decision. Last August, the Party revealed that the full Politburo had discussed a draft of the Law—the first such disclosure in almost four decades. In December, the NPC Standing Committee decided to refer the bill to the NPC on the ground that it qualifies as a “basic statute” [基本法律] on ethnic affairs that constitutionally must be approved by the full legislature.

>The Law’s political salience is also evident in two atypical features. First, it begins with a rare narrative preamble of over 800 characters. Only three statutes now include a preamble: the closely related Regional Ethnic Autonomy Law [民族区域自治法] and the Basic Laws of Hong Kong and Macao. Second, the Law uses Party-speak drawn from the “Twelve Musts” as the headings of three core chapters (II–IV): “Building a Shared Spiritual Home,” “Facilitating Interactions, Interchanges, and Intermingling,” and “Promoting Common Prosperity and Development.” Far from being descriptive and dry, as headings typically are, they incorporate key prongs of Xi’s doctrine and organize the Law around them.

>Finally, we briefly summarize the latest draft that NPC delegates received on March 5. This post will be updated after the Law’s final text is released.

The preamble presents the orthodox narrative that China’s various ethnic groups, through five millennia of shared history, have created a “unified multiethnic state”—“a community of common destiny bound by intertwined bloodlines, common beliefs, cultural similarities, economic interdependence, and close emotional ties”; and that, despite periods of foreign aggression after 1840, they have successfully preserved their civilization (para. 1).

>Later, the Communist Party, as the “vanguard of the Chinese people and the Zhonghua minzu,” led all ethnic groups in achieving independence and equality, charting “a correct path with Chinese characteristics for addressing ethnic issues” (para. 2). That approach has evolved into the Party’s “Important Thinking on Improving and Strengthening Ethnic Work,” under which its “main task” is to forge “a sense of community for the Chinese nation” [中华民族共同体意识]—a term that subsequently appears no fewer than 30 times in the Law (id.).

>The preamble concludes by calling on all citizens and institutions, state and private, to fulfill their shared obligations to “forge a sense of community for the Chinese nation” and to develop that community (para. 3).

>Chapters I and V set forth the organizational structure and overarching principles of ethnic governance. The Law affirms the Party’s “comprehensive leadership” over efforts to advance ethnic unity and progress (art. 2). Underneath it, the Party’s United Front Work Department and the National Ethnic Affairs Commission—the latter has been reporting to the former since 2018—are responsible for coordinating and supervising the implementation of the Party’s new ethnic policy (art. 41, para. 2).

>The Law declares “a sense of community for the Chinese nation” to be “the foundation of ethnic unity” (art. 6). It mobilizes the whole of government and society to achieve assimilationist goals, imposing general obligations on a wide range of public and private actors, including public employees, mass organizations, enterprises, public-service institutions, industry groups, religious institutions, neighborhood committees, and the military (arts. 42–48).

>Chapter II (Building a Shared Spiritual Home)lays the ideological foundation for the assimilation project. It affirms the policy of fostering identification with “the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China, and socialism with Chinese characteristics” through patriotic education, education in official historical narratives, publicity of “the fine Zhonghua traditional culture,” and promotion of “Chinese cultural symbols and image of the Chinese nation” (arts. 11–14).

>This Chapter then affords language and education particular attention. It incorporates the relevant rules of the newly revised Law on the Standard Spoken and Written Chinese Language [国家通用语言文字法], but often goes beyond them. For instance, it codifies the goal of having preschoolers become proficient in Putonghua and requires that Chinese characters be displayed more prominently than minority scripts if both must be used in public (art. 15, paras. 2, 4). It also tasks the education and ethnic affairs ministries with developing textbooks on “the community of the Chinese nation,” while requiring all schools to integrate that concept into their curricula (art. 16, paras. 1–2; art. 18, para. 1). This Chapter does vow to support the standardization, digitization, and preservation of minority texts (art. 15, para. 5), but the goal of such investment is to “protect languages from being completely forgotten rather than protecting their ongoing, everyday use by living people.”

>Finally, this Chapter broadly requires media, internet service providers, families, among others, to promote the Party’s ethnic policy (arts. 19–21). Parents are reminded of their duty to provide lawful family education and are prohibited from “instilling in minors ideas detrimental to ethnic unity and progress” (art. 20, para. 2).

>Chapter III (Facilitating Interactions, Interchanges, and Intermingling) aims to further social and spatial integration. It sets forth the overall governmental obligation to develop “inter-embedded community environments” [互嵌式社区环境] so that different ethnic groups can “live, study, build, share, work, and enjoy together” (art. 22). Toward that goal, local governments must strive to “forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation” and promote integration in all aspects of urban planning and governance (art. 23). Specifically, they are directed to implement policies to facilitate cross-regional population movement, employment, student enrollment, and teacher and youth exchanges (arts. 24–27).

>In addition, this Chapter instructs state authorities to promote integration by supporting—and shaping—volunteer services, cultural institutions (libraries, museums, etc.), the tourism industry, and modern technologies and online media (arts. 28–31). It reiterates internet service providers’ legal obligations to promptly stop the transmission of “information containing ethnic hatred, ethnic discrimination, or other content that undermines ethnic unity and progress.” (art. 31).

>Chapter IV (Promoting Common Prosperity and Development) focuses on integrating ethnic and border areas into national economic and security priorities. It requires all economic and social policies to further assimilationist objectives, to improve people’s lives and build popular support—and to help safeguard national unity and fight against separatism (art. 33). It emphasizes the “mission and responsibility” of ethnic areas to safeguard the nation’s “border security, resource and energy security, food security, and ecological security” (art. 34, para. 2). It also lays out general mandates for the relevant central and local authorities to improve infrastructure connectivity, develop appropriate local industries and agriculture, equalize public services, and strengthen environmental protection (arts. 35–38).

>This Chapter ends by pivoting to “civic and moral development” (art. 40). In the name of development, it announces the policy of “transforming outdated customs and traditions” [移风易俗] and “promoting a new culture of civility and progress” (id.). This provision appears to reflect the common stereotype that all ethnic minorities are “backward” and to curtail their distinctive cultural and religious practices.

>Chapters V and VI both touch on the Law’s enforcement mechanisms. It permits citizens to report conduct that “undermines ethnic unity and progress” and to lodge complaints against government agencies and employees who fail to discharge their obligations under the Law (art. 54, para. 1). When any such conduct also “undermines national interests or the public interest,” procuratorates may initiate public interest litigation (id. para. 2).

>Beyond generic provisions directing the competent authorities to stop violations and order corrections, and in some cases to issue warnings or notices of criticism, the Law by itself does not prescribe any meaningful punishments. Rather, it leaves penalties to be imposed under other applicable laws (arts. 57–62). For instance, inciting ethnic hatred or discrimination is punishable, depending on the severity, by up to 15 days of detention under the public-order offenses law, or up to 10 years in prison under the criminal code.

>Finally, the Law asserts jurisdiction over foreign organizations or individuals who “commit acts targeting the PRC that undermine ethnic unity and progress or create ethnic division” (art. 63).

>During the Great Leap Forward (1958–1962), Chinese leader Mao Zedong launched radical agricultural policies including the Four Pests Campaign.

>The campaign ordered the mass killing of sparrows, rats, flies, and mosquitoes, and eliminating sparrows disrupted ecosystems and contributed to massive locust outbreaks that worsened crop failures.

>The resulting famine—known as the Great Chinese Famine—killed an estimated 15–45 million people, making it one of the deadliest human-made disasters in history.

On "Treatlerites"

"Treatlers" don't exist, the amount of people that worship consuming commodities on a daily basis sand also consciously vote for right wing politicians just to keep this sort of behaviour is basically zero.

The first issue with the term is that it's just a lefty version of the Tedd Kaczinsky anti-consumption ideology, which in itself is an idealist and reactionary understanding of society.

Second, it implies that people vote for better economic conditions because the are "fascists", when the vast majority of votes are actually "punish" votes, where people vote for the opposition party to punish the party in power.

Third, it implies that fascism can be voted into power, and therefore, anti-fascisn can also be voted into power, which is utterly stupid, as communism can't arise from bourgeois electoralism

Basically anyone that uses the term should be automatically ignored.

Western Marxism

The West (NA and Western Europe) have been by far the most advanced capitalist countries for a long time, but
(i) there has been no socialist seizure of power
(ii) for western european countries, they had a significant communist movement when it was backed by the USSR. After the latter's fall, they disintegrated
(iii) for the anglosphere, there never was a significant communist movement at all

So, what is the materialist explanation for this? According to a simple, straighforward Marxist logic, these countries should have the most developped proletariat and thus should be leading in terms of 'socialist experiments'. These countries have had many 'Marxist intellectuals', famous internationally recognised ones. And yet, one struggles to see a movement emanating from them. From the Western proletariat, we get absolute nothingness. From the Western 'Marxist intellectuals', we just get endless bitching about how Stalin and the USSR was bad.
Is there something lacking in the conventional understanding of class struggle?
While I do not agree with the 'civilisational' arguments, does history show us that there is something about 'Western civilisation' which is less conducive to socialism/communism? (On this issue, I am relating to chud-fash narratives, but rather Emmanuel Todd's study on family structures of different demographics for example, which he argues played a role in the development of socialist regimes in the East and not the West).
Leftypolaks, discuss. I want to be enriched.

Network of revolutionary supportive communities

Best way to organize nowadays is at a community level. These communities shall serve as material and social support among its members. Improving the material conditions counters the entrenched anti-communist sentimient among the population. It is then possible to establish a network of these communities on a regional or national scale, by coordinating a single aim.

New Comminques from the People's Liberation Army of Burma, armed wing of the Burmese Communist Party:

"Celebrating the Fifth Anniversary of the Rebirth of the People's Liberation Army-PLA" Message from the New Democracy Group

To all PLA commanders and soldiers:
(15-3-2026) marks the fifth anniversary of the rebirth of the PLA.
Our letter and message have two main meanings.

Congratulation 2. Encouragement.
Congratulation

(A) First of all, we would like to congratulate the PLA People's Liberation Army for its strength and ability to rise from the flames like a phoenix.
The current PLA was reborn in 2021 from the People's Liberation Army of 1948-1949. In 1967, the party and army at the Bago Yoma Base were surrounded and massacred by the enemy military group. On March 15, 1975, the party's highest leader, Chairman Thakin Zin, and Secretary Thakin Chit were killed. The party and army were thought to be dead. However, the Party and the army stood firm in the Northeast Military Region in 1967-1968. In 1989, the enemy military regime used a bloodless division within the Party and the army to disintegrate the Party and the army, using ethnic nationalist forces to crush and kill them. They even widely propagated that the Communist Party and the army no longer existed. However, the PLA was reborn in the 2021 People's Armed Revolution.

The PLA was reborn in the 2021 People's Tide Movement.
The PLA was reborn as part of the long-standing efforts of the Communist Party of Burma to rebirth.
It is also the result of the noble contributions made by the strong leaders and comrades who have made great efforts despite all the difficulties to reestablish the PLA.
The PLA was not only born alive but also gradually developed strongly due to the unity of the working class and peasants, students, the urban poor and middle class, the emerging bourgeoisie and the revolutionary national capitalists.

Comrades - The PLA is like a rock that has been eroded by the waves of the sea and has stood firm against the enemy's attacks.

(b) I congratulate the PLA's spirit of independence during the past five years.

Political and ideological independence.
The Party and the PLA are not under the political influence of any other country. They have demonstrated in practice that they are an independent and self-reliant force under the direct and absolute leadership of the Communist Party of Burma. They are a party and a force that independently set their own path and policies and walk forward.

Economic Independence
The PLA is not supported by any foreign country. It has never received a single penny of aid from foreign governments. In 1948-1949, the PLA had to feed its soldiers with bowls and baskets from the people in the Kyaukse market. Today, the PLA is a force that relies on the people and relies on the people. The people in the country donate their hard-earned money to the PLA every month. Overseas workers donate their wages to the PLA every month. The new generation of the party's young people have collected whatever they have earned abroad and at home and donated it to the PLA. In the countryside, the people donate rice and vegetables to the PLA. The people are the PLA's main supporter. Without the people, the PLA would not exist. Similarly, the PLA also adheres to the slogan that every step of the PLA is for the benefit of the oppressed people.

(c) We must sincerely honor the PLA's spirit of sacrificing their lives for the benefit of the people.

In 2021, Comrade Aung Ba Nyo, also known as Comrade Hnin Aung, the political commander of the PLA No. 1 Military Region, sacrificed his life for the benefit of the people on (3-12-2021).
During the 1027 Operation in northeastern Myanmar, 12 heroic martyrs lost their lives in the battle to capture Sinni. Many of them lost their limbs and were injured.
During the siege and attack on the No. 13 Military Academy (Corporal Academy) strongly defended by the enemy coup army in Moe Mai Gwin (Khon) for almost a year, 6 or more PLA comrades were killed and many were injured. There were other comrades who fell fighting the enemy in the rain.
Comrade Aung Thura (Comrade Htun Naing) was killed in the battle of Phalan O village, west of Pakokku, Magway Division. There were 2 other comrades who fell in Magway Division.
In the battle to capture the enemy camp in Kandaung, Pearl, 12 PLA comrades lost their lives. 67 were injured. 9 comrades lost their limbs. (In the past five years, 17 comrades from the PLA Northwest Military Region have lost their lives.)

With these comrades… in the No. (1) Military Region of Sagaing Region, in the battles of Moe Meik and Dwin Nga, in the battles of Welang Taung Thar, and in Mattara Township, the PLA comrades who gave their lives and served the people are martyrs who will always be in our hearts. Let us all bow down and honor the heroic spirit of these martyred comrades who died.

(d) Honoring the PLA's self-sacrificing political consciousness for the people's good during the past five years.
During the past five years, the PLA has also attached great importance to political construction in building the army from all sides. Comrades train hard in the military training course during the day and tirelessly in the political training course at night. During the five years of continuous training at the Party Central Training School, comrades have repeatedly attended and studied hard. Therefore, the PLA has become a relatively politically capable army.

Why Leftism is dangerous and not just stupid or annoying

This is an educational post aimed at Leftcoms only, so Leftists can just ignore it and go away.

Many Leftcoms think that Leftists are just stupid and misguided, and that eventually they can be "converted" via education or being shown to be wrong via real world events. This is an extremely misguided and dangerous thought.

Most Leftists are not stupid and misguided. Rather, they are intelligent Nationalists who maliciously, consciously and successfully divert anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist energies into generating support for whatever their favorite nation/ethnicity/ideology is.

Leftists are fundamentally pro-capitalist and pro-narionalist. If any real worker revolution or revolt occurs, leftists will arise to co-opt those groups and neutralize them and fold them back into their specific nationalist program and political economy.

Most importantly, if any real communist person or group attempts to prevent this co-option, leftists will kill, arrest or exile those communists.

Leftists, being the left wing of capital, should therefore not be understood as merely misguided or dumb, but they are an active and dangerous military threat to all communists, militant workers and proletarian revolutionaries.

If Leftcoms continue to follow the mental path of "haha Leftists are just dumb and they'll fall in line once reality hits" then they themselves will follow the same path as those communists who were slaughtered by Stalinists.

For a communist revolution to be succesful, there must be an armed struggle not just against the existing capitalists and reactionaries, but also against leftists as well.

Going out on a real limb here and being genuine.
I've got a really long history I'm not gonna Dear Diary about, but I've been around a bit.

things and I feel like they're hard-coded and baked into me. Some aspects I don't fully buy into, but I don't feel like walking away from because I don't necessarily feel like they are not incompatible to me with various aspects of Leftism.
>Southern Nationalism probably being the biggest example
>A few religious beliefs
I actually have read lots of Leftist literature like Marx and Engels and a few others. Maybe they aren't really
>Leftist
but I guess maybe it goes in that direction, more like, "cLaSsIcAl LiBeRaLiSm" idk.
My life has changed in the last few years. I'm disconnected from everything. I want to just move on from these losers. I hate to say it but if they were the people they LARP'd as I like to think I'd still be one of them.
But they're not; they're all dogshit losers.
I've always had this, "Fly-on-the-Wall," thing where I can float around places and get along. I like sincerity, I like conviction. I don't necessarily care how crazy it is sometimes, just be real - be honest. I've had lots of Leftist friends and eventually many of my beliefs have cost me them. At the same time almost none of my

I think this has all be a rambling mess
Hopefully I get a good conversation out of this. I guess I'm looking for direction, someone with a similar story.

‘If I go home, we don’t have enough money’: the low-paid Filipino workers caught up in the war on Iran
The war that has erupted between the US, Israel and Iran, engulfing the region, has already proved deadly to Filipinos workers abroad. On 28 February, 32-year-old Mary Ann De Vera, a Filipino working as a carer, became the first casualty of the conflict in Israel. She was killed in Tel Aviv after being hit by shrapnel while escorting her employer, an older woman, to a shelter. Her employer survived.

India's Punjab state and farmers unions express solidarity with Iran amid government silence
In a recording of the state's budgetary session published by the government of Punjab, Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi, a member of the Legislative Assembly, decried the attacks that began on 28 February, particularly the strike on a school that killed around 165 children, an act he called "inhuman". A growing body of evidence suggests the school was attacked by the US military. "Many doctors and patients in the hospital were killed and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was also killed," Sukhi noted, according to a translation by Indian news platform The Wire.

January 6th was the lamest false flag in American history

On January 5th-6th, 2021 members of the Proud Boys, Oafqueefers, BLM, Ferguson protesters, Black Hebrew Israelites, National Anarchists, 764/Comfags (Riley June Williams), "pink berets", National Anarchists, NSC-131, politicians, members of law enforcement and convicted felons and child molesters raided the White House to overturn a democratic election (who Trump later pardoned). This was the lamest turn of events since Charlottesville from the right. And it was so fucking obvious. Among their biggest PR stunts being the Pikeville, Kentucky rally in 2017, the Charlottesville, Virginia Unite the Right rally in 2017, the Boston Free Speech rally that came soon after it on the same week as Charlottesville where about a dozen non-racist demonstrators gave a speech under a gazebo while surrounded by 50,000 counterprotesters with like one guy wearing a "end white genocide" t-shirt, it was fake as fuck. Then Kyle Chapman's abortive "Say No To Marxism" rally in Berkeley, California that same month that got violently disrupted by Black Bloc protesters who weren't having none of that shit attacked a small group of supporters who arrived, which drew widesoread condemnation in the lying msm, then the Shelbyville White Lives Matter rally that was somehow an even bigger PR optics disaster than Charlottesville (at least UTR protesters had the nice tiki torch march the night before August 11th). Then in 2018 there was a Richard Spencer event at MSU that was such a trainwreck it fractured what was left of the alt-right at the time (along with that audio that came out of Richard Spencer, leaked by Milo Yiannopoulos in 2019 that oretty much ended what was left of his relevance and career). And now come nearly 3 years later and you have this shit. Can the right ever get worse than they already are? This is so cringe how do people even find this appealing?

Communist organizing in semi-conductor factories

This is a genuinely underrated area specifically for american communists to penetrate but it has to be done very carefully and clandestinely, but this has unexpected advantages and points of leverage for workers that basically no other industry has.

The semiconductor industry has historically been one of the most extreme in its anti-union behaivor. The industry is one of the most important sectors to the entire bourgeois order. Its a resource in the ongoing great power rivalry and its an essential component in the entire economy as well as being intertwined with the defense industry. A strike at a few semi fabs doesn't just stop production at those fabs, it ripples through the entire economy.

This is why all attempts at open organizing have been swiftly put down by management. Lenin's model of factory cells operating in a clandestine fashion has to be implemented.

These companies employ armies of consultants, lawyers, and HR departments to surveill and identify behavor that looks like unionizing to nip it in the bud, however its primarily focused on open and obvious signs, such as workers huddling together at weird times, circulation of cards, and openly talking about unions. These structures are useless against the factory cell. Think about it: how the hell would management catch a factory cell organized of people who have become close friends on the job, that meets once a week in a location off property outside of work hours and has other cells in other factories doing the same thing, and cell members dont know the people in cells in other factories besides one external contact. An HR karen is no match for lenin.

This sector also contains some very specific characteristics and advantages that should make a prime target for militant communist organizing

•Extremely important
as previously mentioned this sector sits at the commanding heights of the capitalist economy, intertwined with national security interests and economic activity over the whole economy

•Low-offshore risk
governments are fighting to keep these factories on shore at all costs and make more. If a strike happens companies cannot simply threaten to move offshore for several reasons. 1. the equipment is extremely expensive and not easy to move unlike other manufacturing, and 2. much of these factories are built off government subsidised handouts that cannot just be taken back. and 3. these factories take massive capital and time to build and are not as simple to offshore as other sectors. it would likely tae 5+ years to actually move off shore at best.

•Relatively low barrier for entry
most of these jobs essentially require a just a highschool degree or at most a comunity college certifcate making it easy to access for communists

•small reserve army of labor
theres a projected semiconductor 67,000 unfilled jobs by 2030 and the construction will certainly continue. This gives the workers more leverage and communists an easier time to actually get hired.

•no existing union buraecracy
this is an especially good one. You wont need to compete with some decrepit 100 year old union thats degenerated into a buraecracy for campaigning for democrats

plenty of sectors have some of these characteristsics but almost none have all of them.

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.

The uncertain nature of transitions between modes of production

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

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

Instead of abolishing the petty bourgeoisie, the petty bourgeoisie will simply be (knowingly or unknowingly, willingly or unwillingly, it does not matter) brought into the fold of monopoly capital, the same way peripheral nations were brought into the fold of imperialism. The total horizontal and vertical integration of capital is not complete, but I will give you a simple anecdote illustrating my point. I had a coworker ask ChatGPT what I thought was a naive question. He asked ChatGPT a question about the small business we worked out, and it knew way more than we possibly expected. It had hyper specialized knowledge on our practices and our ways of doing things. It wasn't necessarily doxxing workers, but it was creepy how much it knew. In the 20th century companies did everything they could to prevent "corporate espionage" and "intellectual property theft" but with LLMs that very process has essentially become legalized because it is useful to everyone. And the workers willingly participate in it. They paste their own company's source code into a monopoly's LLM just to speed up a bug fix. Well where does that lead? And btw I don't work at a software company. Chat GPT was answering questions about arcane manual labor procedures at my company… how did it know? Someone must have willingly given it that knowledge at some point to abridge some labor process for themselves. If all this development and accumulation is shattered due to climate change in WW3 where will that leave us? I have no idea. We are cursed to live in interesting times. And the tech becomes more sophisticated and self governing as the people themselves become more ignorant and less technically skilled… it is as if Arthur Clarke's rule about technology and magic is proving itself true not just through the sophistication of the tech itself, but through the dumbing down and hyper-narrowly-focused-specialization of the very people who are building it.

Dialetical Materialism, and Organizational forms

Let us start off by saying, dialectical materialism is not a collection of quotations to be deployed like talismans. It is a method for grasping reality in its constant motion, its internal contradictions, its tendency to transform into its opposite. As Engels put it, dialectics is "the science of the general laws of motion and development of nature, human society, and thought." To think dialectically is to understand that every social form contains the seeds of its own negation, that what works in one epoch becomes fetter in the next, and that clinging to organizational templates perfected under dead conditions is not fidelity to Marxism, it is its opposite.

The central insight of historical materialism is that the mode of production conditions social life in its totality. But western production today is no longer confined to factories and fields alone, labor is more precarious, and the relation to commodity is often more apparent than the relation to production. On top of this, the state's in the west now produce surveillance at an industrial, high-tech private-public allegiance scale. The security apparatus employs more people than the entire automobile industry. If the forces of production and state repression have transformed, so too must the forces of revolutionary organization. This is not deviation it is proper materialism applied to pre revolutionary conditions.

Consider the actual conditions facing revolutionaries in the contemporary United States. The intelligence state operates with a budget exceeding seventy-five billion dollars and employs over two hundred thousand personnel across sixteen agencies, and this doesn't include all the private state-aligned actors and organizations. The post-9/11 era has dissolved the boundary between foreign and domestic surveillance, integrated private technology firms as deputized intelligence collectors, and normalized warrantless monitoring as administrative routine. COINTELPRO was not an aberration; it was a pilot program for something much larger, written up by the CIA.

The Tsarist Okhrona employed perhaps ten thousand people. The Stasi, at its peak, maintained one hundred thousand informants for a population of seventeen million. That's just to reference scale. The NSA collects metadata on every American. RICO act makes formal groups especially prone to heavy federal repression, if even one individual slips up, a RICO can be brought against leadership. The material conditions have changed. The organizational forms adequate to 1905, clandestine, centralized, built around professional revolutionaries, are not necessarily adequate to 2026. Lenin would understand this. That is why he organized one way under the Tsar and another after February 1917. He adapted because he was a dialectical materialist, not a Bolshevik iconographer.

Hamas (Al-Qassam/Gaza Strip, Al-Quds/West Bank), Hezbollah, Iran, ISIS, Türkiye, Sudan, Pakistan, Qatar, North Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Syria and Iraq are all furious at the US and/or Israel and the power dynamic is beginning to shift in favor of the East ever since October 7 and this 2026 war in Iran.

"My name is Malik Farrad Muhammad. I’m a black/Palestinian pansexual Muslim (yes, hella confusing). I’m an anarchist, antifascist, anti-racist abolitionist (yes, both cops and prisons) for my love of freedom! My first protest was in high school, a walkout staged after Treyvon Martin’s murder. From there, I never really got active again until “Bernie or Bust” and then, of course, the George Floyd uprising. I traveled the country and organized and fought and was ultimately kidnapped, ransomed and now held prisoner here at OSP.

I have a beautiful son, a beautiful wife and life partner, Jesse, who moved out here to Portland after my kidnapping by the feds, and a loving family back home in the Midwest. I’m also a veteran, I was a tanker in the army and no, I’m not proud that I was part of the murder machine, so don’t thank me for my service. I love music more than anything almost, am a guitarist and aspiring pianist, all genres. Not much else to say except that I’m a lover of freedom, equity and equality, and will fight to my last breath for it. Unlike those who may regret a thing they did to get convicted or those who tempered their actions for fear of the consequences, I regret nothing, if only not doing more before I was caught. I will live for the people and I’ll die for the people because I love the people, we who want freedom cannot rest till it comes.”

Why do you think the Western left will never succeed?

These are issues as to why I think the Western Left will never do anything or succeed at anything. It's not exhaustive, but I do ask why other people here critical of the Western Left, think the Western Left has failed and will continue to fail to enact any sort of change whatsoever?
>Most Leftists are pretty ideologically antisocial, arrogant, elitist, do not like normies (especially working class people) and look down on them.
>Vast majority of what the Left does is ingroup virtue signalling. Every Protest, every newspaper sold, every shouting slogan, every cancellation, all anti-imperialism, isn't really done for a real purpose but virtue signalling and just group activities
>Leftists are holier than thou in the most moronic ways possible, they refuse to use modern PR, modern marketing, modern public speaking skills, Frame Communist and Socialist ideals in ways that are actually appealing and don't sound like a 1917 Larp.
>Because modern Leftism is a alternative scene, rather than a political movement, being a normal person who is charismatic, or works out, or good looking, is actually frowned upon.
>Anti-Imperialism doesn't mean anything or have any goal yet is the raison detre of the modern left.
>Anti-Imperialism never works because the left refuses to actually do anything to put themselves into positions where they have power to do anything actually anti-imperialist. It's mostly just seething and pointing at elites saying "LOOK YOU'RE BAD HYPOCRITS" while they respond "who cares?".
>Too many "Anti-Imperialists" just devolve into vulgar edgy campism. Many also seriously hope the third will will just rise up and save them.
>Shit like mass immigration is only supported because a lot of leftists are genuinely racist against white people and are wildly oikophobic and want to see "white people" suffer out of teenage level spite against boring suburban upbringings. Another is purely just a naieve white saviour complex or orientalism combined with christcuck morality that more "oppressed" groups are more moral.
>Most modern Leftists positions are really driven by peer ingroup "empathy" pressure than Materialism.
>Shitlib TikTok/Tumbler narratives take precedence over Marxism every time. I've seen countless dedicated Marxists purged from orgs over the years for not adhering to new incoherent Tumblr woketard line.
>Young Socialists are genuinely retarded yet make up most of the activist base. If a Leftist is frankly, under 30, they most likely are going to be arrogant, refuse to listen to more experienced members as fuck and wrong about everything. Younger members almost always push towards mindless militancy that just turns off regular people.
>Socialists over 55 have mostly just given up on any real serious change and usually just treat Socialist orgs as their social book club.
>Anyone with a brain, good skills, PR skills etc will generally realize these people are a lost cause leave any Socialist org and go into actual staffing, PR, media careers etc around their late 20s. Same issue that the military has where intelligent people leave to greener pastures after 4-8 years leaving incompetents behind to run everything.
>The left refuses to accept it's tactics and strategy don't work, relies on copium to explain otherwise. Leftists are terrible at self-reflection and criticism when it comes to strategy. This is why so many leftist strategies have not changed or updated for a literal fucking century despite never working outside of a specific historical context.

You should ground the utopia so the average layman can understand. Communism doesnt mean everyone getting a mansions made out of marble and gold i think.
It could be everyone getting a house, public services for their kids and 100k per year of disposable income in a place like the us. Ive done the math its possible. If income inequality were halved the bottom 20% would get 68k per year. Further distributed it could be 100k as well. 100k for moping floors or whatever kind of job as a baseline. Throw in automation and this reality is very grounded and not a pie in the sky.
The trade off is more government control and lack of possibility for becoming a millionare never mind a billionare. Its a fair trade off if you ask me and woukd lead to less resentment too.

"The electron is as inexhaustible as the atom."

https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1908/mec/five2.htm

In discussing the "new" (in 1908) physics, Lenin makes a profound philosophical prediction: "The electron is as inexhaustible as the atom." This suggests that nature is infinite in its depth, and human knowledge will always have new levels of reality to discover.

Lenin said

> The electron is as inexhaustible as the atom, nature is infinite, but it infinitely exists. And it is this sole categorical, this sole unconditional recognition of nature’s existence outside the mind and perception of man that distinguishes dialectical materialism from relativist agnosticism and idealism.

He said also

>The error of Machism in general, as of the Machian new physics, is that it ignores this basis of philosophical materialism and the distinction between metaphysical materialism and dialectical materialism. The recognition of immutable elements, “of the immutable substance of things,” and so forth, is not materialism, but metaphysical, i.e., anti-dialectical, materialism. That is why J. Dietzgen emphasised that the “subject-matter of science is endless,” that not only the in finite, but the “smallest atom” is immeasurable, unknowable to the end, inexhaustible, “for nature in all her parts has no beginning and no end

Why Burma may be the Centre of Global Fascism

I've noticed a lot of concerning patterns in regards to the direct parallels between the Fascist movements of Europe and that of Burma that are in conjunction with the Tatmadaw. The reason first and foremost being that of ideological similarity between the two movements, typically when you look at specifically European fascist they often center on race and a complete unassailable focus on the state sidelining things like religion, the true form of culture inherited from respective nation but it has never, and I mean never focused on religion.

This is until the rise of the 969 movement which although fully formed as a cultural and political movement in the 2010s[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/969_Movement]. With said movement going back to the main leader joining the 969 movement in 2001[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/969_Movement]. Their main emphasis and messaging being on the protection of Burmese/Buddhist culture and the majority race of Myanmar from Muslims. Which sounds scathingly similar to the messaging utilized by the European far-right as of current which is a complete branching out compared to older and less contemporary far-right European movements which often, as I've stated have a total or near focus on race.

The 969 movement also happens to utilize the same methods of transmission utilized by the European far-right, being through social media in the form of Facebook, symbolism through flags or esoteric symbols or dog whistles such as "969". But none of these tactics were seen in the 21st century European far-right until they were utilized by the Burmese far-right which shows greater support for the potentiality of collaboration or at least implicit admiration occuring from the European far-right towards the Burmese far-right as the 969 movement had been the ones who pioneered this much earlier. This is then also supported by how European far-right activity even in the 2010s were relatively limited with the only center of these exact methods/tactics being solely from Burma. These said propaganda tactics firstly started with the propagation of Wirathu's messaging the the 2000s form of propaganda in the form of CDs [https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/govt-admits-not-doing-anything-to-stop-sales-of-anti-muslim-propaganda.html].

Then in regards to the transmission of modern tactics this is firstly seen in the form of a direct webpage, the earliest archive being from 2013 [https://969movement.org/what-is-969-movement/]. But compared to other far-right European movements this wasn't just a webpage, it already due to past propagation of propaganda through CDs and the '969' dogwhistle has already helped the movement itself gain momentum. So when the ban of censorship was lifted in the 2010s, Wirathu used this to his advantage in the form of this site [https://969movement.org/what-is-969-movement/]. But on top of this already pre-built ideology which again has a central focus on religion also with the earliest archive also being from 2013 being a forum page [https://web.archive.org/web/20131030043058/https://969movement.org/forum/]. The forum itself contains direct categories like "General Dicussion", "Dhamma Talk" and most importantly "Organizing" which itself in the archive contains 2 posts by the admin one being "Open Positions" [https://web.archive.org/web/20131030044049/https://969movement.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6]. Which itself contains the positions of "Executive Director", "Chief Marketing Officer" and "IT Intern" but one constant remains between said positions, a requirement being that they all speak English which wouldn't have made sense unless they had direct intentions to export Buddhist Fascism across borders and eventually, globally. This was a position of media dominance never before seen for any far-right leader like Wirathu, none had an active website, an active means of coordination but most of all none of them were on the Times except of course, Wirathu. [https://www.thetimes.com/travel/destinations/asia-travel/sri-lanka/sri-lanka-bans-time-magazine-789qnnbkb85] It fact, there was so much fear at least by Sri Lankan governments that the Times magazine had the potentiality to incite radicalism and violence they'd banned it, but not the West, now a far-right leader's face was directly in front of and being viewed by the far-right of Europe.

Then finally from the 2010s to the 2020s they'd begin dissemnating more and more through the use of disinformation through Facebook. [https://www.irrawaddy.com/opinion/guest-column/burmese-neo-nazi-movement-rising-against-muslims.html] This is when their influence now combined with the website would begin permeating globally for everybody to see, thus allowing for the far-right in Europe to see a full display of tactics and coordination for the 21st century. And is now the exact same model used by the far-right in Europe and now across the globe.

And Burma has not only been co-opted for the simple means of efficiency but has possibly also been done so due to a singular alignment with Fascism's idea of a 'proletariat nation'. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6bWO3XxLfY&t=105s] In Fascist theory, proletariat nations are nations that have often been oppressed, much like how Myanmar has since the 1900s been fighting colonalism, Japanese fascism, sanctions but it has also does so whilst remaining completely and utterly Burmese. Of course, the formation of this ideology is in itself proof, somehow the poorest nation in ASEAN had the will and pride to articulate and coordinate to form an entirely new ideology that would now form a distinct branch of Fascism and of course in 2019 cause a genocide of the Rohingya population. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide] Predating this there were already Muslim shops being systematically discriminated against meaning this had been building up for about a decade now, much much earlier than the development of Fascist movements in Europe. Which completes the pictures as to why Burma would completely fit the imagination of the European far-right as unlike Japan who is although apart of the far-right movement in some capacity they are ultimately been corrupted by the West, India too. But Burma completely shatters the category in itself, not imitating European Fascism but completely asserting it's own vision. But of course like all Fascist ideologies it still has a collective myth, the most obvious being of the colonial Burmese empire, the Toungoo Empire. It arose from a small city state, a single city state dubbed "Taungoo" from about 1510-39 that seperated from Ava. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Ava] And in 1599 would grow to emcompass an entire sub-continent, systematically move entire populations, enslave them, force Theravada Buddhism, Burmese legislature and even go as far as threaten the Chinese. And of course in the 1800s during the Burmes-Anglo wars whilst entire subcontinents like India fell there weren't as many revolts. The Burmese persisted across 3 wars, across 60 years and even then 20 more years of guerilla warfare would persist. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Burmese_Wars] It even got to the point that Burma had to be give an entirely seperate constitution from British India's allowing for more greater local independence . [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_India_Act_1935#Government_of_Burma_Act_1935] And of course Burma was also the earliest of the colonies due to General Aung San's efforts to become a fully independent nation. A combination of all these fuel fascist and far-right imagination, even after an entire century the Burmese have persisted and it seems they're still going.

There was also this meeting that took place between Daw Aung San Su Kyi and Viktor Orban of Hungary where in 2019 met specifically to address Muslims[https://www.dw.com/en/opinion-in-cozying-up-to-orban-suu-kyi-falls-even-further-from-grace/a-49108276]. Coincidentally during a time when anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe was still relatively low due to the much lower population and no formal "movement" had occured unlike in the 2020s where there's already growing concerns of far-right radicalism. Simply put a noble laureate that was meant to championing Burmese democracy genuinely had no business ideologically aligning this similarly on such an issue which ends up supporting my point that Burma specifically may be playing a central role in influencing fascism in Europe and the greater far-right movement occuring in Europe as it'd simply make no sense for a policy this seperated from global discourse to have seemingly occured between Burma and Hungary of all countries. This had also happened during the year 2019 when the attacks on the local Rohingya weren't just coincidence or a singular event but now a consistently maintained state-backed policy by the NLD and Daw Aung San Su Kyi as a result. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide#2017%E2%80%93present:_Rohingya_genocide] This also highlights, directly the development of fascism to again be much earlier than that of European fascist movements which means the origins of Buddhist Fascism completely predates that of the European far-right's.

'The Chinese government bans all new investment in Israel'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You shouldn't help people with more resources than you, with one exception.
You should constantly engage in anti-society actions.
You mustn't have bad habits, nothing should make you weak.
You should be a romantic person and live only for ideas about the destruction of society.

The exception mentioned is revolution, in which case you should be directly involved. The point of Parasitism is to weaken the bourgeois and redistribute to the people, essentially a cryptorevolution via the war machine of fraud and embezzlement in preparation for the word soviet.

Economic tenets of Parasitism:

Unsustainability
Incestuousness
Fraud
Class Avarice
Relentlessness

Though parasitism is broadly part of the accelerationist movement, in practice, it is much closer in effect to decelerationism, in that it causes massive decline by halting economic action and exploiting inefficiency. I would also much rather consider it a form of communization theory than accelerationism specifically.

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

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

People ally with reactionaries due to circumstances.
Anarchists are not immune to this.
The Bolsheviks were not immune to this
The CCP is not immune to this.
Any present-day movement which doesn't engage with liberals and other class enemies is infantile purism, comparable with utopian socialism.

Opportunistic unprincipled arguments like this, such as echoing "Ukrainians are Nazis" due to the fascist Azov Battalion, expose our movement's general failure to educate self-identitying socialists and provide easy counter-argument from any liberals who understand basic concepts like mutual enemies.

Confusion grows over reported 'airborne landings' in Iraq's Anbar desert
Reports suggest that there were two separate landings: one in the Nukhayb Desert in Anbar Province and another in the desert of Samawah Province. After US forces denied involvement following Baghdad's complaint, suspicion has shifted more toward Israel. Several theories have come up about the operation's purpose. Some sources think intelligence agents may have been sent in, while others believe it could have been an assassination unit with high-performance motorcycles. Analysts also suggest Islamic State operatives might have been deployed to cause confusion and disrupt security.

Israel to build base in Somaliland to target Houthis, says report
Somaliland will allow Israel to gather intelligence on and conduct operations against the Houthis, two Somaliland officials speaking on condition of anonymity told Bloomberg. Israel has laid the groundwork for a possible base in the region: in June, a group of Israeli security officials visited the Somaliland coastline, people familiar with the matter said. There they surveyed the beaches, in search of a potential site for a base or installation to fight the Houthi movement, which is officially known as Ansar Allah.

Cuba Flotilla Joint Leftypol Donation

Hi comrades,

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

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

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

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

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

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

>sexual assault allegations being covered up or having the victims slandered
>party bureaucrats (Alan Woods, Rob Sewell, Fred Weston, Ana Munoz) halting actual progress to maintain a paycheck
>IMT splits where London and Alan Woods overreached and tried to control other parties genuinely progressing revolution
>constant merchandising, collecting funds, to the point where no one knows where the money is going
>older members using influence to sexually exploit younger members
>those younger members are being recruited because they're disillusioned with Capitalism and seek refuge

I'm genuinely disgusted, this is so cult like, even when I talk to RCI members they ignore me or simply act like what i'm saying is nonsense and has no basis in reality. I'm genuinely worried for a lot of these members. This is predatory. The people of RCI need to coup the bureaucrats and London. This is not a revolutionary party, its a pension for these old bastards.

COVID-19 rapes your immune system

SARS-CoV-2 causes lasting immune dysregulation for over 20 months.
>Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise. The sustained subnormal lymphocytes—particularly in cardiovascular disease cohorts—highlight a key immunologic feature of long COVID and underscore the need for personalized care.
>Even 20 months post-infection, CD8+ T cells remained 9.9% below baseline. Baseline lymphocyte subsets differed significantly by sex and age. Immune recovery varied by age and sex, with older adults and males showing prolonged lymphopenia. In cardiovascular disease patients, T lymphocytes remained 72.9% below baseline for 20 months post-infection.

How do YOU view a labor aristocrat

I went through debates with other people about what makes someone a labor aristocrat. They define it as the sector of the working class who benefit from the colonized fruits. The guy viewed every worker in the united states as automatic aristocrats. "What the people who still struggle on those developed countries?" I said. They replied that they are still under the fruits of the imperial pie. A labor aristocrat gains satisfaction with their pay, growing its dependency for the existing system. The 9-5 cashier does not. Sure, the 3rd world and 1st world proletariat will view each other differently, but that barrier does not reject the fact that they are the byproducts of class struggle.

Sorry for the long title, the purpose of this thread is for anons of any country to create a clear and precise foreign policy. Name the country your at and your idea for the agenda you think it should set forth on the world stage.

I’ll start am a burger

The dismantling of Israel, through sanctions and or war if necessary
Negotiating the end of the Ukraine war. Offering Russia Donbas, Crimea and splitting the cost of the rebuilding of Ukraine. Also the negotiation of accepting Israel refugees.
The winding down of empire, begin drawing back military bases, slashing the defense budget massively. Ending the majority of economic sanctions
rapprochement With Iran
Increase relations with China and look to possible economic alliance. Get some of that sweet sweet high speed rail and investment into reindustrializing the U.S.
Marshal plan for the American continents. Helping LatinAM develop strengthen our brother nations and our relationship towards them.

Some my ideas please criticize or counter propose. I know this is just LARP but a lot of leftist creators hang out here and it trickles out through the broader left . I’m hoping we can start putting forward a counter vision to the bourgeoisie imperial rape machine instead of just reacting to it.

The contraceptives will be branded with: “This lasts longer than our paternity leave” to draw attention to their cause. Currently, self-employed dads are not entitled to any paternity leave or pay. For those employed, statutory paternity pay is either £187.18 a week or 90 per cent of their average weekly earnings, whichever is lower, for a total of two weeks’ leave.

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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Power is good

Discuss:
Communists should, wherever pragmatic, seek positions of power and influence, even those that weigh on our conscience, or even those that necessitate us killing innocent proletarians.

In fact, any unionists even, so long as they believe in strike action, should be placing themselves in critical industries where withdrawal of labor is most potent. If me and three of my coworkers all went on strike today, one of the worlds' largest businesses would be vulnerable to attack from a foreign country. If our movement seeks many of these points of failure, a mere few hundred coordinated workers could upset the current order of things today.

Of course, to ascend to these positions is often reserved for those with privileges, but that doesn't mean we can't still influence these positions externally. The recruitment, or even mere gaslighting of the powerful should be paramount.

Don't overdo occam's razor

There's a balance between conspiratorial thinking and over-applying Occam's razor. Occam's razor, basically says that when several explanations fit the facts, the simplest one that requires the fewest assumptions is usually the best starting point. It works well in the natural sciences because nature often follows relatively simple underlying rules, for example, planetary motion became much easier to understand once Johannes Kepler described elliptical orbits (versus the previous needlessly-complicated system of epicycles) and Isaac Newton explained them with the single principle of Universal Gravitation. But the razor works less reliably in human systems, where incentives, secrecy, and deception can make the materialist explanation more complicated than it first appears; history includes genuine conspiracies such as the Watergate Scandal, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and the countless CIA coups, all of which involved coordinated wrongdoing that might have sounded farfetched before evidence emerged. Conspiracies can also be difficult to prove even when real because participants keep secrets, information is compartmentalized or classified, and whistleblowers face risks, which means evidence often appears slowly or incompletely. The challenge, then, is finding a balance: if you apply Occam’s Razor too aggressively you may dismiss real hidden coordination, but if you assume elaborate plots everywhere you end up believing explanations that pile on unsupported assumptions. Good reasoning usually means starting with simple explanations while staying open to more complex ones when incentives, evidence, and context genuinely point in that direction.

Need help

Hey /pol/. It’s come to my attention that a known Zionist music producer is coming to my town of Montreal this summer. The Alchemist is a known Zio who has produced songs for “Israeli” artists and even made an instrumental album a few years ago entitled “Israeli Salad” ;after a stolen traditional Palestinian dish). Him being invited as part of Montreal’s Jazzfest is a BLATANT violation of BDS. It is an insult to all the Palestinian musicians who lost everything in the genocide. I need help organizing something against this guy when he comes. I’m thinking a protest outside the venue but I don’t know how many people will show up. Any suggestions?

Note: Montreal has sone of the most trigger-happy cops in North America so I would prefer something that won’t get us into legal trouble.

Dialectical materialism is bullshit because the world itself is not dialectical. The world is made of forces/particles that interact with each other. They bump in on each other imposing their wills, evolving and there is enough of them that sometimes they appear to be moving dialectically. Instead we have a world made up of difference, these differences do negate each other when they interact but instead affirm their differences.

AI will bring back socialism

Everyone right now should be hoping and preparing for AI to be successful in replacing large amounts of knowledge labor. It will probably be the thing that genuienly kicks off the start of a true resurgence in the communist movement. 2008 revived socialism theoretically and planted the seeds of the movement to come. The post-war blip of high-paying white collar jobs in first world countries was in hindsight a historical blip and AI is setting things back to how they once were in a desperate attempt to save the rate of profit.

The conditions for it are really perfect. Displaced white collar workers are educated and socially progressive so they are unlikely to be swept up into right wing populism, unlike displaced manufacturing workers. They'll be forced into low wage and precarious work pushing down wages in those sectors.

Social Democracy isn't an option this time. Social democracy requires a large domestic manufacturing base to tax profits to fund a welfare state, in the age highly mobile, extremely liquid capital any attempt to fund a UBI will at first be met by intense fury by the capitalists likely killing it before it ever even is passed, and on the off chance it is passed you will see capital flight like never before. Additionally govenments are already up to their necks in debt so they cant fund it with deficit spending.

keynsian monetary policy by central banks would also have little effect, if employment is structurally lowered by AI then lowering interest rates doesnt bring back jobs it just makes credit cheaper to invest in more AI.

Fascism is also a much smaller threat then people realize, for aformentioned reasons displaced white collar workers are unlikely to be drawn into fascism, additionally the class base for fascism just doesnt exist anymore. Fascism was born out of the petit bourgeoisie ruined by the great depression, and the bourgeoisie allowed them to take power in order to crush the workers movements. While they succeeded in the that, it also led to massive destruction of capitalist wealth in ww2, so capitalists are going to be unlikely to want to give power to fascists again, additionally the modern petit bourgeoisie is weak and not a threatening force in politics like they were in the 1930s.

So if Social Democracy can't work as a compromise anymore and fascism is no longer possible then that makes the conditions for socialist revolution much more favorable in the coming decades.

Imperialist social democracy will give state services, welfare, and in-home care to the disabled nonverbal person with a developmental and mental disorder so that they don't have to become a worker, while bombing the farmers and workers in third world countries. If you produce food or commodities for the imperialist mouths, they will reward you bombs, sanctions, coups, embargoes. They will rain pesticides down on you. They will practice eugenics on you, killing your old, your disabled, your vulnerable populations. And they will do this while simultaneously protecting those populations in their own country, enabling them to live when in a standard environment they would have died. They will remove all the "useless eaters" from the third world while adding more "useless eaters" to the first. It is baffling. They are literally practicing dysgenics on themselves and eugenics on everyone else. Do they even have a long game anymore? It's totally deranged.

Why do people hate on trots for selling newspapers?

This seems to be common among many people but I dont understand why its a bad thing? The most common reasoning that I see is:

>newspapers are outdated most people use digital
true, but theres nothing wrong with pairing an online presence with phsyical print, websites and podcats will mostly only be viewed by people who are already your members or sympathizers, meanwhile selling on the street gets it into hands of people who never knew you existed

>you'll get more people if you just make it free
Quality matters more than quantity, there are times for free flyers but most of the time they will just be skimmed and trashed or most likely not read at all, someone who actually purchases it will almost certainly read it cover to cover and be more likely to take interest in joining

>There are more important things to be doing like union organizing
Ok but you and what army? the numerical strength of the movement is way to small to meaningfully influence the broader labor movement, we have to build up our forces first

>Its larp
meaningless statement with no substance. Could be said about the tons of other century old failed ML parties that are just social democrats

America is the only country that matters

The USA is the Main Adversary, the world hegemon and the linchpin of global capitalism. It is the only nation that matters on a world-historical scale. The success of the communist project depends on neutralizing the American empire, therefore agitating for a communist or anti-imperialist revolution in America is the ONLY position that we should be focusing on.

>But muh based anti-imperial axis of resistance
Utterly irrelevant, and easily overthrown by the US military-state. Iran and Venezuela prove this.

If you are on the left, you NEED to obsess over America. You need to learn American English, consume American media, and obsess over American politics and culture. You need to move to the USA so you can meet, organize and propagandize Americans. Fighting for reforms or even revolution in non-American shithole nations is not just useless, it's counterproductive, as it's wasting time and effort. America comes first. If the USA goes Red, the rest of the world will fall like dominoes and world revolution is a fait accompli.

The Californian Ideology

These people have a serious investment in their projects for a number of deeper and delirious philosophical reasons that are counterintuitive for the average person.

The most radical of the bourgeois revolutions were carried out under the pretense of fully unleashing the judgement of reason, dismantling all forms of authority that couldn’t be rationally justified. This resulted in a number of egalitarian visions of the future which, while theorized, were never realized.

When you look at silicon valley you can see that the phantom of these old ambitions - disfigured as they are by entitlement and cynicism - persists through the miasma of “effective altruism”. They adopt positions which reflect a remarkable sensitivity to the technical-managerial limits of capitalism, and they are determined to address them on their own terms.

Many of them have even begun anticipating the end of money and commercial competition, but their blindness to the origins and boundaries of capitalism makes it impossible for them to distinguish between the general limits of humanity, and the particular limits of capitalism.

The ideology that has emerged as a result of this can be described as a secular mirror of christianity; transhumanist doctrine collapses all of mankind into the mould of men mutilated by bourgeois society, displacing the task of redeeming and emancipating the species to an extrahuman force which, in the absence of either a divine savior or a humanity capable of freeing itself, became ‘artificial general intelligence’.

This phenomenon is underpinned by the more basic form of mystification sitting at the core of capitalism: capital appears as the subject of economic life, and men as its instruments. Where the power of human intelligence was once deified, it is now denigrated and subordinated to the impersonal rationality of the market.

Through the abstract rules and efficiency metrics that appear to govern the movement and management of capitalist production, we already see that responsibility for handling the aporias of capitalism has been delegated to the ‘invisible hand’ of the market, with the bourgeoisie and the very visible arms of the state acting as its faithful servants.

It’s only natural that the priests of capital would respond to the growing threat of catastrophic crisis by forcing the world to bow before its temple.

We are seeing a direct manifestation of this in the absurd and obviously unsustainable AI projects that the world’s billionaires are throwing unfathomably large sums of time, money, and human energy into right now. The costs of perpetuating capitalism are growing higher and higher, and they can feel the pressure.

What these corporate figureheads are doing by entering into military contracts with genocidal regimes, poisoning our water, facilitating mass surveillance, etc. isn’t a simple case of members of the ruling class sacrificing normal people for their personal interests.

They are fanatics performing a blood ritual to summon their mechanical messiah: technocapital, the only god that could deliver them their salvation.

Liberal democracy promotes the lie that it can resolve its own issues by reforms, all the discontempt with Trump and all of his crimes against humanity will be swept away and MEMORYHOLED the moment amerimutts rush to the voting polls to elect a democrat. What America needs is not reforms, it needs to become so bad and vile at this point that it collapses into a civil war. America can only go through its problems by continuing with problems, rather than trying to resolve them by prolonging the life of its bourgeois democracy in damage control.

Accelerationism works, your moronic liberal damage control is what prolongs bourgeois illusions of "freedom". It is almost obviou americans will not be having a civil war in spite of knowing their government is ran by pedophiles and will simply protest until the next election, what leftists and broader anti-systematic forces need to realize is that they need to continue the crisis brought by Trump in order to bring about the conditions for a sufficient revolt.

Vote Republican as ridiculous as it sounds.

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

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

Communist Party of Burma warns revolutionary factions against infighting as territorial disputes escalate
Reflecting on the history of the armed struggle since 1948, the CPB characterized current tensions as “conflicts between allies” that must not be resolved through military means, urging all resistance groups to refocus their weapons on the “Three Military Evils” – the junta, its administration, and its bureaucratic apparatus. This intervention comes amid a volatile period for the resistance, marked by significant territorial disputes in northern Shan State between members of the Brotherhood Alliance – specifically the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) and Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) – as well as ongoing friction between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and TNLA over tax collection and recruitment in overlapping regions.

America-Ecuador War

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/4/trump-administration-launches-us-military-operation-in-ecuador

Trump administration launches US military operation in Ecuador (War On Drugs cont.)

Critics have questioned the increasing scope and deadly consequences of US anti-narcotics operations in Latin America.

“On March 3, Ecuadorian and US military forces launched operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador,” General Francis Donovan said.

“The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism.”

The statement was accompanied by video footage of military helicopters taking off, as well as black-and-white aerial surveillance imagery of figures boarding helicopters on the ground.

The announcement appears to be part of US President Donald Trump’s broader push against criminal networks and drug cartels in Latin America.

The scope of the Ecuadorian operation is not yet known, but several US news outlets have reported that it is so far limited to supporting Ecuadorian troops through logistics and intelligence, citing government sources.

At a Wednesday news briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised the joint operation.

“Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere,” she told reporters.

A military campaign against cartels

Since taking office for a second term last year, Trump has moved to label multiple prominent cartels as “foreign terrorist organisations”, a term typically reserved for armed groups with political aims.

His administration has paired those labels with an increasingly militaristic approach to combatting drug trafficking, including through the bombing of suspected smuggling vessels.

Critics have pointed out, however, that drug trafficking is considered a crime under international law, not an act of war, and that such lethal actions can be considered extrajudicial killings.

At least 44 aerial strikes have been carried out against alleged drug-smuggling boats and other maritime vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.

The result has been 150 known deaths. The identities of the victims have yet to be confirmed by US officials, and no charges against them have been made public.

Two survivors who were recovered from an October attack on a submarine were quickly repatriated to their home countries, Ecuador and Colombia, where they were subsequently released.

Some families from Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago, meanwhile, have claimed that the deceased were fishermen or informal workers transiting between Venezuela and nearby islands, not drug traffickers.

The Trump administration has also launched military actions on Venezuelan soil, one in late December and a second on January 3. In both cases, it justified the strikes as law enforcement actions against drug traffickers.

The first targeted a dock allegedly used by the transnational gang Tren de Aragua. The second culminated in the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who was subsequently imprisoned and charged with drug trafficking and weapons charges in a US federal court.

That operation was likewise condemned as a violation of international law, with experts at the United Nations warning that it was “part of a broader and deeply troubling pattern” of unprovoked military aggression.
A new front for Trump’s anti-drug campaign

The Trump administration, however, has suggested it plans to expand its military operations against suspected drug traffickers to other land-based targets. The announcement from Ecuador suggests a new front for its military offensive.

Wednesday’s announcement comes two days after General Donovan, the head of the US Southern Command, visited Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa and his defence ministers on March 2 in the capital of Quito.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Ecuador has seen a spike in homicides and other violent crimes, as criminal networks make inroads in the country.

Previously, Ecuador had some of the lowest rates of violent crime in the region, earning the country a reputation as an “island of peace” in Latin America.

But experts say the leap can be attributed to a number of factors, including high youth unemployment during the pandemic, economic instability, and a desire to exploit Ecuador’s strategic location on the Pacific coast, between major cocaine producers like Colombia and Peru.

Noboa, a right-wing leader who has been in office since 2023, campaigned for re-election last year on the pledge that he would tamp down on the uptick in crime. He has become closely associated with the “mano dura” or “iron fist” approach to law enforcement.

Trump too has encouraged Latin American leaders to be more aggressive in their handling of criminal networks, and both Noboa and Trump have threatened Colombia, led by left-wing leader Gustavo Petro, for allegedly failing to comply.

On March 1, for instance, Noboa plans to raise tariffs on Colombian imports to 50 percent as punishment for failing to crack down on cocaine trafficking.
Noboa announces ‘new phase’

On Wednesday, General Donovan praised the Ecuadorian military for their “unwavering commitment” to the fight “against narco-terrorists in their country”.

“Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere,” he said in a statement.

President Noboa, who has hosted Trump administration officials like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem multiple times over the past year, also welcomed the increased collaboration.

“We are beginning a new phase in the fight against drug trafficking and illegal mining,” Noboa wrote on social media on March 2.

“The security of Ecuadorians is our priority, and we will fight for peace in every corner of the country. To achieve this peace, we must act decisively against criminals, wherever they may be.”

Still, critics responded to Wednesday’s announcement with scepticism and alarm about the increasing US military operations overseas.

Brian Finucane, a senior adviser at the International Crisis Group think tank, wrote on social media that the US has yet to clarify what its role in the joint operations was and what its targets were.

“My sense is that some in the administration have been itching to put US military boots on the ground somewhere for an operation against ‘narco-terrorists’ and then publicly brag about it,” Finucane said.

“Ecuador was more amenable than, say, Mexico.”

Was Marx "Zionist"? 555-come-on-now...

I keep seeing this bait posted:

>>2719727
>Marx was a zionist who praised the US conquest of Mexico and tried to move to Texas

>>2689654
>I can and I will, Marx was a proto zionist, his writings on America confirm it, he even tried to become a settler in Texas

>>2689640
>Marx would have been a zionist too had he lived to see 1948 and especially 1967, he’s dead and his opinions don’t matter

~~>>2684654~~
>Fuck marx and fuck marxists, all pieces of shit, all Zionists outside of Palestine

>>2684652
>People only care about “truth” that’s either convenient or emotionally satisfying to them, what of that is there in any of Marx’s Proto Zionist screeds to anyone in the 21st century?

~~>>2683688~~
>Fine, fuck Marx, he was a proto Zionist anyway, his writings on America expose his nature

~~>>2667291~~
>To be fair, Marx is bland, boring, and completely unrelateable to the average 21st
>Century working man, sometimes he’s funny but ultimately a smug prick and a proto zionist anyway

I can't even tell if this is a zionist trying to justify zionism as "marxist" or if this is an anti-marxist trying to condemn marxism as "zionist" or what. What is the purpose of this statement and is there any truth whatsoever in it? I don't think Marx was even aware of zionism as a project, and if he was he would have been opposed to it on the grounds that it was a religious project. Lenin explicitly reject zionism as well as antisemitism, but this anon would no doubt cope that Lenin and Marx are not the same person. So what gives? Also more astounding is that this bait was left up despite much more tame stuff being taken down. It might not be one single anon but multiple anons. Is a part of /leftypol/ becoming anti-communist on the grounds that Communism is "zionist?" I'm not sure what to make of this development.

Is Liberia a colonial state?

Curious what people's thoughts on Liberia are.

It was founded by freed slaves, but there must have been people there. Was there the same kind of contradiction that we see in Palestine with the Israeli colonizers? Or in the US/Canada with Indigenous? Or was it peaceful

Argentinian unions plan general strike over new labour laws
Argentina’s main union federation, the Confederation of General Workers (CGT), will hold an executive council meeting on Monday to formalise a call for the strike over the country’s far-right President Javier Milei’s proposals. The government is also seeking to secure lower-house approval before March 1, when President Milei is set to open the 2026 ordinary legislative session.

Families Protest Mass Trials in El Salvador
Nearly 100 people—mostly family members of those arrested—mobilized against collective court hearings enabled by a 2023 penal reform approved by the Legislative Assembly, dominated by the ruling party. The amendment allows large groups of alleged gang members to be prosecuted together in hearings that can remain open-ended.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

https://www.internationalistvoice.org/

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Argentina approves labour Bill as thousands take to street in opposition
ARGENTINA’S Senate approved a labour law overhaul crucial to President Javier Milei’s shock therapy programme yesterday, after hours of debate unfolded alongside mass protests outside Congress. Thousands of workers mobilised by trade unions converged on Congress on Wednesday, blocking traffic and clashing with police. Security forces fired water cannons and rubber bullets as some protesters lobbed rocks and Molotov cocktails — authorities said they made at least 15 arrests.

Ecuador military accused of restricting press access; HRW condemn
According to that report, the head of the Joint Command of Ecuador’s armed forces, Henry Delgado, would have instructed commanders on Jan. 28 to evaluate journalists for any coverage and to avoid accrediting outlets and communicators whose position, in his view, could damage the institution’s image. Goebertus said the measures “filter media by editorial line, punish criticism, seek to control public discourse and censor the press,” and described them as practices typical of institutions that “fear public scrutiny.”

Chile impunity fears as riot officer who blinded protester walks free
After a 14-month trial, a Santiago court delivered its unanimous verdict last month that Crespo shot and blinded Gatica – but absolved him of any wrongdoing, invoking the principle of legitimate defence. “I am not happy with the outcome,” Gatica told the media outside the courthouse. “I think that it is relevant for the good of democracy that these cases do not result in impunity.”

Ministers ‘betray’ NHS workers with below-inflation pay award, unions say
More than 1.4 million NHS nurses, paramedics, midwives and hospital porters will be left worse off by the “act of political cowardice and financial betrayal of NHS workers,” said Unite. The government imposed the pay award recommended by the discredited Pay Review Body (PRB) process which most health unions boycotted in favour of direct talks with the government last September.

Corbyn alleges UK ‘complicity’ after Streeting’s admission of Gaza abuses
In the trove of messages published by Sky News on Monday – meant to show transparency over Streeting’s own ties to Mandelson – the health secretary argued last year in favour of recognising Palestine as a state. “Morally and politically, I think we need to join France,” Streeting wrote in July 2025. “Morally, because Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes. Their government talks the language of ethnic cleansing and I have met with our own medics out there who describe the most chilling and distressing scenes of calculated brutality against women and children.”

Israeli president ends a fraught Australia visit to comfort Jews as Gaza war protests follow
Authorities estimated 10,000 protesters shut down several downtown Melbourne streets with a rally Thursday evening as Herzog left the country. The largest protest of his visit was mostly peaceful, with only a single demonstrator facing a charge of assaulting a police officer, a police statement said.

300 million on the streets in a historic national strike in India
One of the major demands of the strike was the withdrawal of the trade deals India has recently agreed to with the US and the EU. The CTUs, SKM, and left parties in India have called the deals a surrender of the country’s sovereignty and harmful to the interests of the millions of farmers in the country as they allow open access of Indian markets to foreign farm products. Another key demand was the withdrawal of the four new labor codes brought by the Modi government despite long term opposition by the trade unions, and withdrawal of a new rural employment guarantee act called the VB GRAM G Act.

Outta Control World

Capitalism can only end when profit is no longer the incentive and is rendered useless, that requires either resource depletion or a change of the MOP as to underminet he cost of labour and the need for employed labour.

Never in history has a mode of production been forcefully "fought" and replaced, there was no capitalist movement to end the feudal mode of production, nor for any in the history of civilization. Communism is a bourgeois movement that postures as the real process of change, when change can only come when the mode of production runs its course.

There is only one thing that people who want change can do - they can wait.

Rift between Javier Milei and his vice president deepens with accusations of coup-mongering and corruption
The conflict between Javier Milei and his vice president, Victoria Villarruel, continues to escalate. In his opening address of the parliamentary year, while insulting and mocking opposition legislators, Milei alluded to an alleged conspiracy involving members of his government to try to overthrow him — and with a rather unsubtle gesture, he seemed to point to Villarruel, seated behind him.

Anti-dynasty bill passed by House panel criticized: ‘Prohibit, not regulate’

The Lesson of Muscovy

When it first emerged, Muscovy, more known today as Moscow, is hardly the world metropolis we know it is today. In fact, it was hardly a city, as much as it was a neighbourhood of mudhuts created as an outpost for the much wealthier slavic states of Rostov and Vladimir.

Everything changed when the Mongol Empire came. You see, the princes of Moscow responded to the invaders with a very unique ideology called pragmatism. Instead of raising noise about defying the Great Satan (of Mongol imperialism), or declaring a military Flood against the Tatar settler colonialism in Crimea, or even God forbid trying to forment some sort of Slavic Axis of Resistance against the invaders, Moscow took the opposite approach. They flattered the Tatars, they gave their daughters to the Mongol khans, and they even plundered other fellow Slavs on behalf of their Mongol overlords. What despicable comprador behaviour!

But see, this pragmatism not only spare them the destruction that was inflicted on rebellious slavic states like Tver (who suffer the fate of a violent regime change engineered by the Mongols), it also allowed them to grow rapidly; so rapid, in fact, that they eventually gained enough strength to topple the Tatar opressors.
That is the key, my friend. Pragmatism, knowing your limits, and long term view of things. Not ideologically charged rhetorics about defying imperialism, not waging suicidal wars simply because you have the moral high ground. Pragmatism is what will defeat imperialism.

Now, this is just a quirky historical post, and certainly has no bearing on the current geopolitical situation in the Middle East and Iran and Palestine specifically. Whatever lessons you want to infer from this post exist solely in your mind.

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

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

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

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

What is the one good thing this orange cracker did

I'd say legalizing hemp and delta-8. The thing is, hemp plants absorb CO2 in the atmosphere and reduce global warming. You could put the seeds in an oil presser and make hempseed oil for use in biodiesel. Hemp diesel can be carbon neutral (meaning it releases no carbon into the atmosphere) or carbon negative (it removes carbon from the atmosphere; if this went viral, it could cause another ice age, causing animals (like cats) grow bigger, more wildlife, more freshwater (ice) and so on. The biggest cat on record was the North American Lion (extinct since the end of the Ice Age - they hunted bears and mammoths!).

Oppose Hero Worship

Anyone who labels their ideology after a person (Marxism, Leninism, Trotskyism, Maoism, Titoism) can be immediately dismissed until they self crit and stop being an idolist simp.

Identifying with people or states over their ideas and actions creates a parasocial tendency to defend them uncritically, even when they fuck up, as all people and states inevitably do in a young movement struggling to walk in material reality. It's common to see excuses - "they tried their best, they were betrayed, they were attacked", rather than critical analysis that enables us to avoid those problems next time.

“It is clear that global and regional powers are, as in other historical examples, seeking to establish a new order in Iran that would no longer pose a threat to themselves, rather than prioritizing democracy and freedoms,” the Peoples' Equality and Democracy (Dem) Party said in a statement.

We must create a Communist LLM GPT type AI that learns all the Marxist literature on the planet to provide the correct perfect answer to all problems - philosophic, economic and practical.

trotsky gets too much shit

trotsky should be an inspiration for all of you he was middle class larper who autistically willed himself from being a dumb writer with flowery wording to being a commander of a massive fuckoff army that destroyed the whites, repelled allied interventions from every european empire in the world and helped to wipe out all other political factions apart from the ones within the bolshevik party

Muh armchairs

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

<In Germany it looks more like revolution every day. In Berlin and Barmen menacing crowds of laid-off workers are roaming the streets. […..] I think that in a fortnight the storm will break in Prussia. If this opportunity passes without being used, and if the people allow that to happen, we can then calmly pack up our revolutionary paraphernalia and devote ourselves to pure theory.
— Engels to Marx. 11 June 1866

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

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

Cognitive Apocalypse

We are in the midst of a cognitive apocalypse. People are getting too stupid to think for themselves, to govern themselves, to do anything for themselves. Overstimulation and over-externalization via digital media is causing brains to atrophy, our memory is getting worse, our attention spans are getting shorter, and our ability to think critically and apply internal reasoning is becoming nonexistent. As a result of this cognitive decline, nations all over the world are regressing into authoritarianism as the global populace becomes weaker and loses their mental defenses, their ability to discern truth from fiction, their ability to think independently or be proactive or participate in complex collective action.

You can see examples of this in everyday life. Doing something as simple as cooking a pot of soup from scratch or replacing spark plugs on your car engine is enough to make the average person look at you like you're some kind of wizard - things that used to be common knowledge are becoming arcane lost arts, people are so helpless now that they don't even try to think about what to do in a crisis, they just immediately defer to search engines or AI chatbots to answer all their questions.

And it's not because of some bullshit explanation like eugenics and birth rates, as described in the film Idiocracy - it's got absolutely nothing to do with genetics, it has to do with overexposure to outside information. It's like in the Jetsons where they are incapable of walking anywhere because they're so accustomed to standing on conveyor belts, only instead of our legs it's our brains that are going soft and losing the ability to perform work under their own power. This is all by design, this is what fascist leaders and advertising executives and other kinds of domineering authority figures want, a population of mindless reactive insects who only know to do what they are told and consume what they are given.

We are living in a new Dark Age.

The lecture hall supplies the language of justice, the barracks and ministries supply the machinery of action. And so it is frequently the heirs of order, stern officers, implacable bureaucrats and country aristocrats who possess the resolution to overturn it, much to the quiet mortification of those who first proclaimed its ideals.

Obligatory death to israel (you will crow "you are zionist!!!!" anyway)
The 2010s was about using idpol to distract from class struggle.
The 2020s is about using zionism to distract from class struggle.
Notice how all the "anti-zionists" in the imperial core are actually controlled opposition zionists? ACP. Nick Fuentes. AOC. Bernie. Platner and his literal AIPAC brother in law. Now you have AIPAC bribe taking jerkoffs like John fucking Ossoff saying "Epstein class" as if it means anything. The only real anti-zionists all live in Yemen and Palestine, and they're getting absolutely mauled by these sick freaks. But what is genocide in Yemen and Palestine vs. the death of the entire species? Capitalism will destroy the entire human species. just as the treatler countries were on the verge of class consciousness in 2008-2011 with the bank bailouts and Occupy Wall Street, they rolled out wokeism and BLM to distract from that. Now just as the treatler countries were on the verge of it a second time, Israel has a gazillion 9/11s happen to it. Literally The Holocaust 2.0. boohoo. some dudes on mario karts killed a few IDF fags. who cares. oop now they're genociding an entire city over it. wow this is the entire center of everything now. leftyfags on leftychud will spend all day calling each other zoggers now instead of say one single thing about porky. how convenient.

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

Let me say a few things comrades.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rest In Peace, Hotwheels.

Electoral Abstainence is Nonsense

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

<>

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

<You can't vote our way out of a bourgeois system!
Yes.
That doesn't contradict the material benefits that even minor reforms bring to our ability to build a revolution.

<The only options are war criminals! I don't want to vote for a war criminal.
This is a selfish moral argument, comparable to someone who doesn't want us to kill reactionaries because violence will hurt their conscience.

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

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

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

Social Production, call for community input

My team and I are building a new kind of social networking platform, where communities can organize, produce, and distribute goods and services collectively, outside of capitalist market structures. Our goal is to make social production and distribution as seamless and democratic as possible.

>What is Social Production?

A peer-to-peer (P2P) network where every user is a node, no central authority.
All decisions (from project rules to resource distribution) are made by the community, using transparent, on-chain voting.
Projects are created, funded, and managed collectively. Outputs are distributed based on need, not profit or labor input. All plans for distribution will be agreed upon before production begins.
All transactions and changes are recorded on a blockchain for transparency and accountability (not for speculation or data storage).
All collective assets are held in trust by a non-profit foundation, managed transparently and only as directed by community decisions.
The system is designed to be cross-platform (desktop, web, mobile) and open to anyone who wants to participate.
The goal is to build enough productive capacity and community resilience that participation in the capitalist economy becomes a choice rather than a necessity. Collective funds of projects intends to be temporary, giving us legal acquisition of means of production from which to build upon.

>Why are we doing this?
We want to build a world where capitalism is no longer the default. We believe in collective ownership, democratic planning, and meeting needs directly without markets, bosses, or profit motives.

>Where are we now?

We have a basic system design and a public GitHub for collaboration.
We’re documenting everything before implementation, so everyone can help shape the foundation.
We’re discussing key questions: security, verification, governance, and more.
We have a Discord (and are open to alternatives) for real-time discussion.

>Who are we looking for?
Anyone interested in building a new future—designers, developers, organizers, theorists, and anyone with a passion for collective action. No single skill set required, if you want to help, there’s a place for you.

>How can you join?

Check out our GitHub to see the project and contribute ideas or code.
Join our Discord (link is on the GitHub project) to discuss.

The shift from capitalism to communism requires more than just political parties, we aim to create the foundation, the facilitation of genuine communistic productive organizational practices.

Come on leftypol, can we do more than just shitpost online?

SACP breaks from ANC, eyes full ward presence in local polls
The SACP is optimistic about its chances in this year’s local government elections, despite its poor showing in two recent by-elections it has contested.

It has opted to contest elections on its own, abandoning its alliance partner, the ANC, in the upcoming municipal polls. SACP National Spokesperson, Mbulelo Mandlana, says that there is a marked difference between contesting one ward in a by-election and competing for a municipality in a national election.

Antarctica just saw the fastest glacier collapse ever recorded

Date:
February 26, 2026
Source:
University of Colorado at Boulder

Antarctica just saw the fastest glacier collapse ever recorded. Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier stunned scientists by retreating eight kilometers in just two months, with nearly half of it collapsing in record time. The rapid breakup was driven by a flat, underwater bedrock surface that allowed the glacier to suddenly float and fracture from below. Satellite and seismic data captured the dramatic chain reaction in near real time. The findings raise concerns that much larger glaciers could one day collapse just as quickly.

US says it supports Pakistan's 'right to defend itself' against Afghan Taliban

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-says-it-supports-pakistans-right-defend-itself-against-afghan-taliban-2026-02-27/

The United States on Friday expressed support for what it called Pakistan's "right to defend itself" against attacks from Afghanistan's Taliban rulers after Islamabad said earlier in the day that the neighboring countries were in "open war."

Afghanistan's Taliban rulers had said on Friday they were willing to negotiate after Pakistan bombed their forces in major cities.

"The United States supports Pakistan's right to defend itself against attacks from the Taliban, a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group," a State Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement. U.S. diplomat Allison Hooker said on X she spoke on Friday with Pakistan Foreign Secretary Amna Baloch.
Pakistan is nuclear-armed and its military capabilities are vastly superior to Afghanistan's. However, the Taliban are adept at guerrilla warfare, hardened by decades of fighting with U.S.-led forces, before returning to power in 2021 when Washington withdrew chaotically.
Pakistan is a major non-NATO ally of Washington. The U.S. considers the Afghan Taliban to be a "terrorist" group.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was essentially a clout martyr.

Everyone is claiming this was a random air strike, but it's clear what was actually happening: his killers were driven to take his life solely for the sake of clout. They wanted infamy of their own and found it in striking down an 86-year old.

As Ali was taking his final breath, he was surrounded by kids taking video and pictures of him. Why? For clout. No one was taking his pulse, no one was calling the Red Crescent, everyone was standing around with their phones out as his body was clinging to life.

The moral lesson of Khamenei's life story should be a cautionary tale of the horrors of social media and how it's fucked our society beyond belief.

RIP Supreme Leader. See you in Jannah…

Why was France able to keep such large parts of its empire compared to Britain

Despite France and the UK being pretty much equal in terms of economics and populations, and despite France having has the smaller colonial empire, France has managed to keep a much larger modern day empire
Britain's oversea territories : 18 000 km² and 272 000 inhabitants
France's Outremer : 120 000 km² and 2.8 Million inhabitants.
France's empire is then time as large and populated as Britain's.
Beyond that, Britain's oversea territories are often very autonomous, wheras France's generally don't have any autonomy, at least for the departments.
This is despite France being in a much worse situation during decolonisation, not only because it was recovering from WW2, but also because it lost against Vietnam and Algeria in colonial wars.
Nonetheless, France was able to keep those territories without much conflict, sure, there was a conflict in New Caledonia, but it wasn't major.
Britain had to fight for 30 years in a civil war to keep Northern Ireland, a territory barely a few kilometers away and whose majority (until recently) was radically in favor of unity.
What gives ? Why was France's Empire able to survive ?

God Building

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Decolonizing Socialism is a MUST

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Political Conversions

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

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

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

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

On "Democracy" Vs. "Resistance"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No war but class war

Freedom of religion was a mistake

This should be the elephant in the room for a lot of people. The reason why Zionist Jews and Mormons have so much power and control over America is because America has freedom of religion. Jewish supremacy and Mormon influence in government and culture are the result of people being allowed to worship freely with zero government oversight. Same reason Evangelicals have so much power in the American South.

SOMETHING has to be done to combat these groups. We need to keep them monitored so they don’t keep political power and are drained of their enormous wealth. But we can’t do that if freedom of religion is allowed. Any socialist group in America needs to address this and call for the full-blown abolition of religious freedom. Shut down every single Zionist synagogue and Mormon and Evangelical “church.” Only allow liberation theology, anti-imperialist Islam and anti-Zionist Judaism. Keep religious places highly monitored by the proletarian state like they do in China. This is the only solution. And if you think not, come up with a better one.

We've seen how modern capitalism responds to surplus populations

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You echo every criticism you notice on this website without any knowledge of its source content so you can fit in the /leftypol/ "le based anti-revisionist" mindset because you're certainly not going to get the satisfaction of community and comradery out of real life, you worthless fucking nobody.

KILL THE EU

Theres not enough pushback against the EU.
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.

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

Duterte was 'pivotal' in murder of thousands, ICC prosecutors say
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was "pivotal" in the murder of thousands of people during his rule, prosecutors at the International Criminal Court (ICC) said on Monday, as they pushed for his trial to go ahead. The prosecutors at the Hague-based war crimes court have charged Duterte with three counts of murder as a crime against humanity, involving dozens of victims that accusers say were only a fraction of the real death toll in his clampdown on alleged drug users and criminals.

Serious National Bolshevism Thread

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

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

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

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

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

The only solid take on Chomsky-Epstein

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

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

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

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

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

Imperialism is over.

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

Youth-love is le bad because… why?

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

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

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

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

So again…

Why is youth-love bad?

how valid is it to "sneak" communism without people realizing it democratically?

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

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