And unlike the retarded neocons these activists do understand the consequences of climate change, but then what? They offer nothing remotely proportional to the crisis. “Plant more trees,” “switch to solar” that’s it. I’ve had to explain over and over that our governments are too corrupt and dysfunctional to pull that off. They barely function as it is. There’s no institutional capacity and Individual actions don’t mean much in a system like this.
We had chances. When Al Gore lost and oil billionaire won, that was a turning point and a disastrous one. I genuinely mourn what could have been different. We could have built global institutions capable of dealing with climate change before it spiraled into this nightmare. But that’s not the world we got.
This is the reality now and If we want to prevent total collapse, geoengineering is the only option left on the table. I know it’s dangerous and I know it doesn’t fix the root cause. I’m not blind to that. But at this point it’s not about perfect solutions, it’s about any solution that might actually keep people alive and not in pain.
Why are so many Western activists so averse to geoengineering?
I live in the Global South in a region being absolutely hammered by rising heat waves, the worst kind. People are dying, people are suffering, daily life is becoming unbearable. I’ve watched the heat get worse in real time and seen the misery it brings.And unlike the retarded neocons these activists do understand the consequences of climate change, but then what?

Was Jesus historically progressive?
We all know that Jesus existed historically, I assume most of us don't think he was the son of God and stuff, but he still existed but just may have been a bit crazy, but was he a force good or not? At the time he existed I would say he was because despite the cooky stuff he still at the end of the day spread a message of empathy and compassion that many would call Pre-Marxist-Socialism, which is why the Romans killed him. Obviously after his death his teachings devolved into what it is now but many great people still used his teachings for good like John Brown and MLK.

I’m old enough (38) to remember when veganism was practically a litmus test for determining if you were a principled leftist or not, especially in anarchist and Maoist spaces. Nowadays it seems like no one under 28 is vegan anymore, or gives a shit about animal rights.
Having become an anarchist as a teenager in the early 2000s, I fully remember how interwoven the radical left was with the animal rights and vegan movements. Gen X and xennial comrades in particular were very dogmatic about this issue, arguably more than they were most issues concerning US imperialism. But the younger generation doesn’t seem to care at all. Why?
For the record, I was never vegan and I eat an omnivore diet now, but still.
Where have all the vegans gone?
No seriously. Why did veganism and animal rights activism seemingly die out entirely from the left?I’m old enough (38) to remember when veganism was practically a litmus test for determining if you were a principled leftist or not, especially in anarchist and Maoist spaces.

Nuclear family abolitionists, what is the retort to this?
Recently came across these tweets. Often I've seen folk argue that the nuclear family structure is inherently abusive and tied to capital, while others, including these tweets, argue that biological parents are the least likely to sexually abuse, unlike that of extended families/communal rearing. Are these stats any accurate at all? Discuss.

Today is Karl Marx's birthday and I wanna make a statement about his theory of society and capitalism.
Marx's theory on history and the development of capitalism is based on these three core ideas:
The mode of production and class struggle is not the main driving factor of history.
b. capitalism adapts itself better than Marx's predicted
c. labour is important in defining the value of a product but it is also not the main defining factor of its price
These ideas are upon which Marx defined capitalism, its development and the basis for its own overcoming which would result in socialism and communism.
If my critiques are true, socialism loses its scientific appeal and communism ends up being more of an utopian ideal rather than a scientific theory of history.

Enver Hoxha was further agitated by Mao Zedong’s “three worlds theory”; a revisionist and opportunist idea which ignored any sort of societal contradictions in favour of Mao’s immediate geopolitical ambitions. To quote Comrade Hoxha on the “three worlds theory”:
"[…] all of these terms which refer to the different political powers working in the world today conceal — and don't reveal — the class character of these political powers, the basic contradictions of our epoch, the predominant key problem on the national and international scale today, the grim struggle which is waged between the bourgeois-revisionist world on the one hand and socialism, the world proletariat and its natural allies on the other hand." (Enver Hoxha, Report to the 7th Party Congress of the PLA)
Enver Hoxha would seldom capitulate to Khrushchev’s careerism or Mao’s flunkeyism, however. Instead, he would later withdraw from the social-imperialist Warsaw Pact, and would end relations with the revisionist People’s Republic of China. Thus in the process, preventing the People’s Socialist Republic of Albania from becoming a vassal of either social-imperialist state or bloc.
Hence, from this ideological conflict emerged Hoxhaism – the continuation of Marxism and modernisation of Leninism for the international proletariat, free from the crass revisionism and careerism of the Khrushchevite-Brezhnevite Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the petite-bougeois pseudo-Marxism of the People’s Republic of China.
After Hoxha’s life concluded in 1985, a large amount of Communist Parties, many of which located in the Americas, have taken up Hoxha’s example resilience to revisionism and careerism.
Hoxhaism, as it exists in the present, is the most potent theoretical continuation of applied Marxism.
Had the USSR taken heed to follow comrade Hoxha's guidance it would not have fallen apart and become defiled, ultimately being cannibalized by the religious reactionaries and liberal forces lead by the traitor of humanity Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev. Had the USSR not fallen apart like it did, the rest of the socialist world would still be present.

Hoxhaism / Anti-Revisionism General
Hoxhaism, like other Scientific Socialist movements, had first emerged out of the ideological conflict during the middle-to-late potion of the 20th Century CE. During this time, Enver Hoxha, General Secretary of the Albanian Party of Labour, began to understand, and be critical of, the increasingly revisionist and opportunist rhetoric and polices of the leaders of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics after the death of J. Stalin. At this time, the powerful and harmonious socialist economy that was created as a result of the five-year plans of the 1930’s was slowly being metaphorically watered-down as Khrushchev and later Brezhnev ruled the USSR into the later part of the 20th century.Enver Hoxha was further agitated by Mao Zedong’s “three worlds theory”; a revisionist and opportunist idea which ignored any sort of societal contradictions in favour of Mao’s immediate geopolitical ambitions.

It looks like the Democrats are officially going “diet Sakai” and regurgitating that race, not class, is the primary contradiction. I’ve also been seeing dozens of reels and TikToks from Black liberals where they’re accusing radical leftists for the recent SCOTUS case that will allegedly redraw the Black-majority electoral districts in the South making it harder for Black people’s votes to count. Hell, I’ve seen Blacks viciously attack Palestine activists for being anti-Black with no real evidence presented (never mind the FACT Blacks will never be free until Palestine is fully free).
No doubt this is largely being influenced by the midterm elections and the Dems knowing they can’t win if people under 45 are all radicalized into being communists and won’t vote for establishment candidates. The Dems always resort to race and gender as emotional blackmail because they can’t win any other way. Hilariously, the real reason Kamala Harris lost in 2024 wasn’t because of her support for the Gaza genocide but because of Hurricane Helene: while southern Appalachia was absolutely devastated by the storm Kamala was partying with Beyoncé in Atlanta, and this was proof for the white working-class that the Democrats didn’t care about them.
So yes, what can we make of this?
Liberals: “Class War is Racist”

The West (tm) actually has all the pieces of dialectical materialism, but refuses to "assemble" them so to speak. They have broken up the pieces into empiricism, pragmatism (the American philosophy, not the colloquial sense of the word), and systems theory.
>Empiricism: has knowledge from experience (but often fragmented)
>Pragmatism: truth is what works
Systems theory: everything is interconnected
dialectical materialism combines all these insights into one coherent whole: reality is material and exists independent of our minds. things are interdependent, always changing, constantly in development, have to be studied in their context, and to understand reality we need to not just theorize, not just act, but put theory into practice, turn practice back into theory, closing the theory-practice loop, while remembering always that the particular is a case study of the general, that the general fails to describe the particular, and general both does and does not equate to the particular.

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!

Roberto Sanchez, exminister in Castillo's goverment is practically the second round candidate with Fujimori (no explanation needed). Now, he is being bombarded by the press to debilitate his campaing and with all the sloganeering as always (statist, terrierist, betrayer, etc).

There are many Mahayanists who are Marxists, Tenzin Gyatso included (although he's a filthy leftcom). There are also many Marxists who are Mahayanists. Engaged Buddhism is a thing, as well as humanistic and secular Buddhism.
Ceterum te certiorem facere debeo: qui procedet, in Terra Pura renascetur! Qui recedet, in inferno ardebit! Gloria Buddhae Amitābhae!

The goal of Mahayana Buddhism is to become a Bodhisattva, an enlightened being who takes a vow to not enter Nirvana until they've achieved the liberation of a certain class, sometimes all classes, of sentient things.There are many Mahayanists who are Marxists, Tenzin Gyatso included (although he's a filthy leftcom). There are also many Marxists who are Mahayanists. Engaged Buddhism is a thing, as well as humanistic and secular Buddhism.
Ceterum te certiorem facere debeo: qui procedet, in Terra Pura renascetur! Qui recedet, in inferno ardebit! Gloria Buddhae Amitābhae!
Furthermore, I must inform you, he who advances will be reborn in the Pure Land! He who retreats will burn in hell! Glory to the Amitabha Buddha!

Dump all the seemingly pointless, dubious, and frivolous questions that don't deserve their own shitty threads.
Got a question that's probably been asked a million times before? You're in the right landfill, buddy. Post it here.

the cuban flotilla is being run by the PSL but they aren't using the PSL to push the flotilla because everyone with half a brain knows by now that the PSL has a history of sexually assaulting cadre across multiple branches, so they are using other orgs they run like code pink to do the promotion and optics of the flotilla
the flotilla, much like the PSL and the rest of these astroturfing organizations like Veterans for Peace or Code Pink are funded primarily by this billionaire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Roy_Singham
I would be highly suspect of any content creator or activist who joins the flotilla. The PSL is one of the biggest obstacles for a revolutionary American left to overcome.

In reality, Mamdani is a total fraud. He’s pandered to Zionists even before taking office. Then after taking office he’s sucked up to Chabad-Lubavitcher which is a satanic racist Jewish supremacist org with ties to the Russian mafia and Zionist entity. Why? He’s even thrown his own wife under the bus for working with Palestinian liberation activist Susan Abdulhawa. I guess he thinks kosher feelings outweigh Palestinian lives. He hasn’t done anything he’s promised in making NYC a cheaper and easier place to live. And yet delusional leftists still love and support him.
If Mamdani was truly principled he’d make it illegal to be a Zio in NYC. Semd police to monitor all synagogues for promoting Zionism. Track donations to the IOF from Jewish orgs. Fully divest NYC from the Zionist entity and all companies that do business with the Zionist entity. Get ICE to deport anyone with Zionist entity citizenship ( I hear there are a lot of them in Brooklyn and Queens). Ban AIPAC and all other pro-Zionist groups. Shut down businesses like Eichler’s which routinely sell Zionist products.
Mamdani ran on the basis of defying the Zionist Lobby so he needs to keep his promises.

Real mutual aid is not an event. It is a mode of living, the daily, tedious, yet joyful labor of reproducing the material conditions of collective survival outside the wage, outside the bourgeois state, outside the NGO, and, ideally, outside every other institution that mediates and limits working‑class power. This process ideally must begin with the capture of space and the utilization of the commons. Territory is not merely a backdrop to existence; it is the material precondition for autonomous social reproduction.
I do not agree with all of Kropotkin's theoretical works, but his Mutual Aid, A Factor of Evolution remains a solid analysis of social reproduction under conditions of precapitalist and anti‑capitalist cooperation. Kropotkin was correct, mutual aid is a factor of evolution, a material practice of cooperation that precedes and outlasts capitalist social relations. Yet the contemporary left has buried his insight beneath a mountain of liberal aesthetics. Feel‑good volunteerism that recasts structural exploitation as an opportunity for the privileged to "give back." The participant enjoys the position of giver; the structural relation remains untouched.
''Charity asks, "What can we give them?" Mutual aid asks, "What do we need to survive, and how do we produce it or obtain it together?" Before launching any mutual aid project, pose this question to your cell, your friend group, your squat, your network, your family. Let it be the first act of praxis. You will find that the path forward becomes clearer this way.

Mutual aid is a mode of living, not giving out goods
Liberal "mutual aid" is simply charity draped in the rhetoric of radical anti‑charity, a food drive, a medicine or clean‑needle table, a hot meal dispensed downward. Such interventions may be momentarily useful, but they are not mutual aid in the materialist sense. They reproduce the giver‑receiver relation, the commodity form of assistance, and the reification of the helper as petite‑bourgeois dispenser / volunteer. The recipient remains an object of pity; the circuit of capital is interrupted only at the point of transfer, not at the point of social reproduction. The empirical reality contradicts the self‑congratulatory narrative of radical cliques, there is more genuine mutual aid, more autonomous social reproduction, more daily cooperation outside the wage occurring in the poorest, most abandoned neighborhoods than in the entire apparatus of the NGO left and its salon revolutionaries. The most effective organizers, those who actually emerge from the material conditions of the working poor and the lumpenproletariat, struggle daily against the immiseration capitalism has imposed upon them yet they are systematically ignored by white‑collar, Ivy League students who inhabit comfortable, cushioned lives, who speak the language of Marxism while practicing hyper‑individualism, who mistake performative radicalism for class struggle, and who treat the poor as abstract signifiers rather than as comrades with whom one eats, sleeps, and fights with. This is not a failure of theory; it is a failure of class position entirely. The petite‑bourgeoisie has colonized the left, and until it is expelled, or until it learns to shut the fuck up and take orders from those who actually live the struggle, the light of truth will remain hidden behind a cloud of grant proposals and endless virtue signaling.Real mutual aid is not an event. It is a mode of living, the daily, tedious, yet joyful labor of reproducing the material conditions of collective survival outside the wage, outside the bourgeois state, outside the NGO, and, ideally, outside every other institution that mediates and limits working‑class power.

The Elon Musks, Peter Thiels, Alex Carps, Sam Altmans, Mark Zuckerbergs, Nick Lands, Curtis Yarvins of the world.
These are people who hate humanity. Hate. Hate. Hate. Nothing but hate for the human condition.
These are people who see capitalism as both inescapable and worth accelerating to its maximum hostility, just to line their own pockets and see how many they can kill in the process, which they take pleasure in.
They want the working classes as a living dead, as digitised servitors, as brains hooked into a corporate matrix, hopeless and powerless to do anything but work.
They watch at Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, and read Neuromancer and decided the hellish dystopia is what they want, at any cost.
Why? For the aesthetics alone? Because they expect to be the corpolords on top of the dogpile for a brief moment? Due to pure psychopathological sadism?
If you listen to them they've stated their aims:
They want city states, owned and ran by megacorps, ruled by CEO kings, when millions of serfs toil for the 0.0001% to live in a synthetic cyberutopia.
Is it any wonder then, that the modern left reacts today with a total hatred to transhumanism?
Recently there's been a whole spate of videos from leftist content creators outlining how they believe transhumanism is an ontological evil, conceptually and entirely with no distinction between various ideological forms it may take.
But it didn't use to be that way.
There used to be a prevalent current of left wing, socialist transhumanism, and of anarcho-transhumanism.
UBI for humanity's sake. Cybernetics to treat injuries and disability. Full bodily autonomy. Computer driven economies to equalise wealth and prioritize well-being. Robots to clean our streets.
It was not about life extension via designer peptides and child-blood transfusions for the elites. Not AI taking the job of the artist. Post-humanism as an enhancement of capabilities, not as a tool of nihilistic self-extinction.
So can we, and should we revive left transhumanism? Can the left at last de-demonise the term?
Because, personally, the way I see it technology is advancing whether we like it or not.
In that case I think we're morally obligated to bend the direction of the incoming technocrisis towards leftist goals, to promote a socialist transhumanism as an alternative.
If the tech like a meteor crashing into a city can't be stopped we must direct it so that we can minimise casualties.
Left transhumanists should raise public consciousness of their ideology as much as possible and if capable eventually launch cyber attacks on the Palantirs and OpenAIs of this world, physically disrupt their murder tech, burn their data centres, steal their data to repurpose it and openly reveal their secrets, again and again and again until there's no alternative but for people begin to take seriously the need for technology to serve the goal of benefiting humanity, not ending it.
Anyway that's just something that I ended up think about today.
I'm not the most knowledgeable on this matter, so please tell me what you think should be done to prevent these sick freaks from forming their cyberpunk Hitler society.
Please let me know if you think it's possible to construct a real movement out of left transhumanism!

Was the American revolution historically progressive?
Was the American revolution historically progressive? Before McCarthyism CPUSA used to venerate that shit a ton, I as an American think that it was better that it did happen than didn’t, the British would never have upheld any of the treaties, look at what Australia did while remaining loyal to the British, and if they stuck with the British Empire then the evil capabilities of the Empire would be worse. However I can’t say that it was Historically progressive because they failed to do a lot of the historically progressive shit like abolish slavery and stuff, because there were a ton of historically progressive pre-Marxist revolutions in the Americas like in Haiti or Gran Colombia, but America was not one of them.

But how exactly do we get to do this ? It seems that the idea of exchange-value imposing itself on use-value as the dominant way of production simply reflects scarcity. Some objects are valued more than others and we would prefer that the ressources required to produce one are spent in object A than object B.
As such, how exactly do we go about to about to abolish the law of value whilst retaining the inevitable characteristic of scarcity in most domains ?
>inb4 paul dickblast
It's been a while since I've read dickblast's TANS but doesn't his concept of labor-vouchers imply commodification of labor ? Working to be able to get said-vouchers is recreating a form of exchange which reflects scarcity. It's a better monetary system than the one we have now, but it still operates under a form of the law of value. (note that it's been a while since I've read it, so this might be incorrect)
How exactly do we abolish the "Law of Value" ?
I hear often that to establish a communist society implies the abolition of the law of value, which means abolishing the commodity form – that objects are created for exchange rather than for use.But how exactly do we get to do this ?

Why are small towns so Hitlerite? There's just an incredible amount of tribalism, anti-intellectualism and moral busybody behavior. Small towners are just people who don't know how to mind their own fucking business and get outraged over every moral panic. What the fuck is wrong with these libertarian freaks who want to diddle little girls and execute the gays? I've noticed that a lot of marginalized groups also maintain these kinds of small town politics. I just don't get it.

I'm just thinking.
The most important factor in the definition and practises of communism during history is the role of the State in the revolution.
Marx argued that after the proleatarian takeover and socialization of the means of production the State would simply "wither away".
I am not sure, but I think this is based in a hegelian style type of dialects in which he places the "dictatorshio of the ruling class" as a thesis, then the revolutionary takeover would be an antithetical form of dictaroshio which would result in the synthesis of communism or the stateless and classless society.
To be honest, this seems like a very simplification of reality if true and that would be the reason why so many revolutions failed.
The state don't simply disappears, because maybe it isn't only a "superstructure" vased on material relations but something much more complex than that.
Hegel defined the State as some type of collective rational which is the way God guides society, and Marx's views would seem to be the complementar opposite to that theory which would be also wrong, because the State is not God or only a product of material relations but something different.
It seems the State intead of disappearing it just change its form to something else. This doesn't mean it is guided by some kind o "superior being" but it also disproves the idea it is just a temporary thing that can simply disappear.
I would be interested in discovering what the true nature of the State is, becaue it seems to be, as I said, the central point of both the revolutionary theory and also communism in general.

It seems the State intead of disappearing it just change its form to something else. This doesn't mean it is guided by some kind o "superior being" but it also disproves the idea it is just a temporary thing that can simply disappear.
I would be interested in discovering what the true nature of the State is, becaue it seems to be, as I said, the central point of both the revolutionary theory and also communism in general.

The CNE reportedly agreed to investigate allegations that Cepeda violated regulations regarding campaign contributions ahead of the primary of his political party, Historic Pact, in October last year. The allegations were made by Senator Jote Pe Hernandez of the Green Alliance party and Juan Martin Bravo, a conservative politician from Cali, and four political activists. The opposition politicians and the activists claimed received two donations of a PR company, Samat Publicidad SAS, that together amounted to more than 10% of the total private campaign donations.

Cuba’s electric and petroleum workers celebrate their colleagues during massive rally
Cuba’s power crisis deepened after the U.S. attacked Venezuela in early January, halting critical oil shipments from the South American country. Later that month, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to Cuba. As a result, the island spent more than three months without a single oil shipment until a Russian tanker laden with 730,000 barrels docked in Cuba in late March.

French unions rally on Labour Day to defend paid holiday rights
Labour Day on 1 May holds a unique status in France as the only public holiday that is "férié et chômé" – non-working and paid for almost everyone. Rooted in the labour movement, Labour Day was declared internationally in 1889 after Chicago's Haymarket riot, when a bomb killed several people during a strike for an eight-hour working day The holiday symbolises respect for workers, and unions view any erosion of it as a threat to broader protections.

Eurocentrism
Eurocentrism is the dominant ideology of capitalist society, which also exists within the "left-wing" movement. It has certain specific characteristics:- Left Eurocentrism builds upon the bourgeois unilinear theory of "social progress," with Europe serving as the highest peak and the universal reference point of world history.
- Left Eurocentrism uses a false version of historical materialism to present early capitalism as a progressive social order on a global scale, while in reality, it was only progressive in relation to the feudal system in the major European states.
- Left Eurocentrism underestimates the role of colonialism, the slave trade, etc., as the foundation for the historical origins and ongoing accumulation of the capitalist mode of production.
- Left Eurocentrism schematizes world history based on the European experience and forces everything into this mold—for example, the expectation that all societies must go through a succession of the same modes of production (slave-owning, feudal) as Europe, or else they are considered "backward."
- Left Eurocentrism assumes that advanced productive forces necessarily lead to advanced struggles; it underestimates the peasantry; it conceives of revolution primarily as the dividing of the national pie between the proletariat and the bourgeois class in the major capitalist countries.
- In its approach to international relations, Left Eurocentrism elevates inter-imperialist contradictions above the fundamental contradiction between oppressor and oppressed nations, and it considers relations between great powers to be the main events in world politics.
- Left Eurocentrism fails to see the continuous nature of super-exploitation and the unequal international division of labor as the basis of imperialism, and it attempts to explain dynamics without giving any place to the relations between imperialist and dependent countries.
- Left Eurocentrism does not recognize the extent to which the main contradictions of the capitalist mode of production are embodied in the contradictions between oppressor and oppressed nations, and therefore considers nationalism in colonial countries to be backward and a hindrance.
- Left Eurocentrism generally considers national liberation movements to be subordinate to the supposed interests of the proletarian movement in the "advanced" countries, and dictates to them what they should do.

My family didn't starve in the 80s only due to kolkhoz markets. It was simply impossible to buy something in state groceries. The peasantry, the petit bourgeoisie (aka big proletarians) saved tens of millions of lives of the soviet people while the party bureaucracy tried to murder them. So why should I hate the first ones and like the second ones and their descendants (Cucktin and his party)?

Vietnam has a smaller public sector than the United States and they are Pro-America, Pro-Israel, and Anti-China in their foreign policy. I have no idea how after America nearly committed genocide in your country you can put them over fellow socialist states, they will condemn America when it does something shitty but never act on it, they are practically just Spain, Norway, or Ireland when it comes to foreign policy. I know that China is also shitty when it comes to foreign policy and stuff too but they are at least technically Anti-America.

This individualizing logic is not incidental to the therapeutic project; it is its structural function under capitalism. As the radical psychiatry movement contended, fostering mental health was to be an art rather than a science, requiring a shift away from individual psychotherapy and toward supportive group work, coupled with direct social and political action. The consumer/survivor/ex-patient (c/s/x) movement, a powerful, decentralized coalition emerging from the anti-psychiatry struggles of the 1970s and 1980s, forged the very concept of peer support, where those with lived experience provide mutual aid outside the medical model's bourgeois hierarchical structures. This movement has been instrumental in developing a variety of peer-support alternatives. AA was one of the original movements to flirt with these concepts in it's religious, communal stance against the medical world's treatment towards alcoholism at the time, directly organized by the alcoholics themselves, not passively accepting the official treatment they were often subject to. Things like this often end up creating something more than a mere psychotherapy model or a technique; it is a movement of community that fundamentally challenges the power relations embedded in professionalized care and recovery itself.
The "institutional psychotherapy" movement in postwar France, which profoundly influenced figures like Frantz Fanon, Felix Guattari, and Michel Foucault, offers a vision of what a truly materialist psychiatry could look like. Anchored in the work of doctors like Tosquelles at the Saint-Alban hospital, this was not just a set of therapeutic techniques but a psychiatric reform and inspiration for a resistance movement that sought to transform the mental hospital into a "laboratory of political awakening". It aimed to reconfigure the entire social and mental dynamic of the patient, understanding that authentic healing could not occur within the oppressive, hierarchical structures of the traditional mental asylum and it's logic of western bourgeois medicine. This was a project of "disalienation" that recognized the patient's concrete society as itself "the sick individual," requiring political, not just clinical, intervention.
Furthermore, the legacy of materialism in healing extends into the body itself, directly challenging the Cartesian dualism that privileges talk therapy as the only legitimate form of treatment. The contemporary field of somatic abolitionism, developed by Resmaa Menakem, is a powerful example of this. It is defined as "a living, embodied practice and culture of anti-racism". It asserts that the traumas of white supremacy and/or colonialism are stored not just in the mind but in the body's nervous system, and that healing requires a physical, felt practice of metabolizing that stress. This approach directly confronts the "white supremacy, colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism embedded in modern embodiment practices," reimagining bodywork as a site of radical, anti-capitalist struggle.
The Soviet bloc also produced fascinating and tragic examples of radical mental health experiments. The Socialist Patients' Collective (SPK) in West Germany explicitly claimed that the only valid therapy was one that aligned the individual with revolutionary political struggle. These efforts were part of a "movement" in the global development of mental health, a minor history of approaches grounded in common struggle against conditions of scarcity. More directly, under Pinochet's regime during this era, community-based mental health work was often associated with communism and socialism and subsequently banned, with socialist psychiatrists being silenced through torture or exile. This history demonstrates that the bourgeois state and society correctly recognizes the revolutionary potential of community-controlled care, repressing it as a threat to its order, openly or covertly.
The next task, then, is to forge a Critical-Liberation Psychotherapy (CLP), a model that centers critical dialectical materialist theory and maintains that therapeutic practice can provide the relational and institutional conditions that cultivate revolutionary forms of subjectivity and truly enlightened, self-reliant consciousness. This framework would move beyond the simplistic binaries of the illness/wellness model, embracing a vision of healing as collective, class-conscious, and anti-capitalist. It would recognize mental health cannot be disentangled from the intertwined systems of colonialism, tradition, imperialism & capitalism and that authentic healing is inseparable from the destruction of those systems materially, and mentally.
Critical Liberation Psychotherapy
The revolutionary task, as Foucault articulated in his debate with Chomsky, lies not merely in the denunciation of the obviously repressive organs of the state and ruling class but in the patient, systematic exposure of the mechanisms of power embedded within those institutions that present themselves as benign, neutral, or even benevolent. The bourgeois therapeutic apparatus, psychology, psychiatry, medicine, sciences, sexuality, and its allied practices is a paradigmatic case of such a mechanism. It functions as the dominant social institution for the management of subjective distress, yet its foundational logic is the atomization of the sufferer. It systematically abstracts the individual from the material conditions of their alienation, reframing crises of exploitation and oppression as failures of personal adjustment or thinking. This is not liberation from mental suffering; This is more accurately described as the pacification of the mind veiled in the clinical language of care.'This individualizing logic is not incidental to the therapeutic project; it is its structural function under capitalism. As the radical psychiatry movement contended, fostering mental health was to be an art rather than a science, requiring a shift away from individual psychotherapy and toward supportive group work, coupled with direct social and political action.

This development did not arise in a vacuum. Many of the societies in which socialist revolutions succeeded were shaped by predominantly peasant populations, relatively low levels of literacy, and recent histories of feudal or semi-feudal rule. In such contexts, political authority had long been associated with monarchs, emperors, or strongman figures. It is therefore unsurprising that revolutionary movements, even when grounded in collective and egalitarian ideals, were interpreted through familiar cultural patterns that emphasized personal leadership. The elevation of revolutionary figures into near-mythic symbols can be seen as a byproduct of these conditions rather than a deliberate theoretical aim.
Recognizing this helps clarify that the issue was not simply the presence of influential leaders, but the tendency to substitute their personal authority for the organized, conscious activity of the working masses. A more consistent application of proletarian rule would emphasize institutions, education, and participation over symbolic identification with individuals. Understanding the historical roots of these personality cults allows for a more grounded assessment of past socialist experiences without reducing them to caricature or dismissing their broader social and economic transformations.
The 20th century AES Cults of Personality were a mistake
The cults of personality of 20th century communism were a mistake, though perhaps unavoidable. The emergence of pronounced cults of personality in several 20th-century socialist states can be understood as a historical misstep rather than an inherent feature of Marxist theory. Stalin himself denounced this in his interview with Feuchtwanger, and some personal letters. The concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat, as developed within Marxism, refers to the collective rule of the working class organized through its institutions. In practice, however, this principle was often conflated with the authority of individual leaders such as Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Kim Il Sung. This conflation obscured the distinction between class power exercised through mass participation and the symbolic centrality of particular historical figures.This development did not arise in a vacuum.

Why was Lysenko wrong
I legitimately do not understand why people believe he was wrong. Look at Jewish people and how specialized into getting better at academia or India with how certain groups become natural fishermen. Lysenkoism feels like it's striking a cord between Stirnerite individualism and collectivism and it legitimately sounds cooler than Darwin's lame "one will breed more than the other and the species will survive". Darwin's system doesn't explain suicide for example.

>Some even believe that artificial general intelligence, or A.G.I., will create a permanent underclass. In the United States, the term “underclass” gained currency in the 1960s to describe the factory workers left behind by the postwar automation boom. Today, it has become repopularized as a viral term for a theory that posits that people have a limited window of time to build wealth before A.I. and robotics are advanced enough to fully replace human labor. At that point, everyone will get frozen in their current class positions: The rich will be able to deploy superintelligent machines to do their bidding, and everyone else will be rendered useless and unemployable, left to live off welfare scraps.

Maybe this will age like milk, but personally I don’t think the woke will ever come back, primarily due to the fact that it arose during a period in American history that can’t be replicated in the foreseeable future as well as because it got heavily exhausted to its fullest potential by 2024, something else will form instead but I can’t put my fingers on it. Let me elaborate…
Yes, there may be backlash to Trump in the form of:
The elite liberal factions that promoted “wokeness” as a substitute for social democracy feel politically exhausted. Their compromises — with Trumpism, with Zionism, with capital more broadly — are remembered, and they’ve already pivoted to new projects like “abundance,” technocratic managerialism, or vibes-based productivity politics.
We might see a kind of “safe-edgy” social democracy rhetorically, but I don’t think the elite will allow anything that seriously threatens capital or entrenched interests. So whatever comes next is unlikely to be fully institutional or top-down. If anything, it’ll be more grassroots — and may spill into a harder, older form of class politics once people realise triangulation won’t be permitted to go very far.
Historically, this actually reminds me of Reconstruction and the post-Reconstruction US. Open and legally encoded white supremacy wasn’t just a bottom-up backlash — it was an elite project. And I don’t think today’s elites are going back to the post-1960s model of tightly policing racist expression at their level, even if they still condemn it rhetorically.
I was telling a friend: basically everything liberals tried to suppress the rise of reaction — platform bans, censorship, cancellations — failed. So now what? You can’t really “solve” this without something like outright repression. Gulags to defend the liberal order? Not exactly practical or appealing. Yes, you can cite J.S. Mill or Popper about being “illiberal to protect liberalism,” but it’s unclear anyone will buy it, or that liberal elites are willing to spend the political capital and legitimacy required.
So instead, I think we get something closer to the Latin American model:
Official color-blindness, loud condemnation of racism in theory, combined with deeply racialised everyday life. Elites live in segregated neighbourhoods while preaching anti-racism to foreigners; normies are often quietly or openly racist; everyone pretends this isn’t contradictory.
Israel is (or was) a version of this too. Some limited tolerance for non-Jewish citizens or guest workers, while brutally repressing Palestinians who aren’t citizens (which is most of them). Now that Israel has more openly defined itself as an ethnic state where democracy is secondary, you can see what looks like social cannibalism: racism turning inward, targeting different kinds of Jews and non-Palestinian gentiles.
There are already extreme examples — like reports where Thai migrant farm workers described near-universal sexual abuse, or polling showing majorities supporting stripping non-Jewish citizens of citizenship and deporting them. There’s no real way to spin that into anything other than ethnic cleansing, or at least mass support for it.
Whether Israel could actually carry that project through is another question, given the manpower gap between its economic needs, military ambitions, and the idea of a “pure” ethnostate. But if things escalated internally, I wouldn’t bet on restraint. History suggests reactionary movements don’t stop at their first target.
Anyway — my point isn’t that “wokeness is coming back,” but that the old ideological containers are broken. What replaces them probably won’t be prettier, more coherent, or more stable. It’ll just be different.
Curious what others think — are we heading into something genuinely new, or just remixing old contradictions under new branding?

Woke won’t come back, and here’s why?
Lately leftists online (such as Logo Daedalus) have been speculating about a possible return to 2010s HR individualist managerial political correctness (a.k.a., woke) in light of Trump’s falling popularity polls over the Epstein files and his failure to rebound the US economy as well as his second administration being overall more fascist and extreme than the first one both rhetorically (see the DHS’s Twitter account which seems to be ran by a wignat) and in practice (e.g., expansion of ICE under the current regime).Maybe this will age like milk, but personally I don’t think the woke will ever come back, primarily due to the fact that it arose during a period in American history that can’t be replicated in the foreseeable future as well as because it got heavily exhausted to its fullest potential by 2024, something else will form instead but I can’t put my fingers on it. Let me elaborate…
Yes, there may be backlash to Trump in the form of:
- greater tolerance for immigration,
- renewed talk about abolishing ICE (which isn’t actually necessary for border security and overlaps with existing agencies),
- less willingness to tolerate soft white nationalism or openly white-nationalist speech now that the Trump project has made its racial character explicit.

Organised by the 350.org campaign, demonstrations took place in countries including Japan, Indonesia, France, Canada, Turkey, Brazil and Australia, calling for an end to fossil fuel dependence and the provision of affordable renewable energy for all. The group warned that fossil fuels “receive an estimated $12 trillion (£8.8trn) annually in implicit and explicit subsidies worldwide, including the unpriced costs of pollution, climate damage and public health impacts.

UK terror watchdog urges 'moratorium' on pro-Palestine marches
The coalition said: "We condemn unequivocally these attacks, as we do all forms of anti-semitism and racism. No one should be attacked for their race or religion. "However, the attempts by Hall, sections of the media and some politicians to connect such attacks with the Palestine marches are wrong." Stop the War added: "These marches are supported by many Jewish people who attend. They are not the ‘hate marches’ described by right-wing politicians but expressions of solidarity and support for those under attack. "The aims to criminalise the protests, whichs reflect majority public opinion in this country," the organisation said, "or worse, to connect them with racist or terrorist attacks being carried out against Jewish people, are scurrilous and should be rejected."

‘Act of piracy’: World reacts to Israeli interception of Gaza aid flotilla
Israel has intercepted 22 out of the 58 aid ships travelling through international waters and bound for the besieged Gaza Strip. … The vessels were seized by Israel late on Wednesday in international waters off Greece’s Peloponnese Peninsula, hundreds of miles from Gaza, the flotilla’s organisers said on Thursday. Israel “kidnapped” 211 of the 400 activists taking part in the flotilla, including a Paris city councillor, according to the flotilla’s organisers. Israel’s Foreign Ministry had earlier put the number of those detained at 175.

US may deploy new hypersonic missile against Iran as Trump weighs fresh strikes: Report
Centcom made the request to the Department of War based on intelligence that Iran has moved its ballistic missile launchers out of range of the US’s Precision Strike Missile, a supersonic surface-to-surface ballistic missile fired from a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System. If Centcom’s request for the Dark Eagle hypersonic missile is approved, it would mark the first time the long-delayed weapon is deployed, and potentially used, should the US resume attacking Iran. The missile has a reported range of more than 2,776 kilometres.

Hundreds march in Johannesburg against illegal migration as shops shut over looting fears
As one of Africa’s most industrialized economies, South Africa attracts migrants —both those who entered the country legally and illegally in search of opportunities. The protests in Johannesburg resulted in the closure of many shops, owned by both locals and migrants, due to fears of potential looting or opportunistic crimes. Organized by the anti-immigration group March and March, it also attracted similar organizations, including Operation Dudula and political parties ActionSA and Patriotic Alliance.

Canada to create powerful financial crimes agency as US weakens its approach
The new agency, tasked with investigating and prosecuting financial crimes, is the result of a public inquiry that found Canada lacked a cohesive strategy against money laundering, placing it behind its international peers. Jessica Davis, a former intelligence analyst with Canada’s spy agency who focuses terrorism and illicit financing, said: “The fact we’re actually seeing the creation [of a] new enforcement agency is a meaningful investment and hopefully signals the understanding of the seriousness of the challenge.”

Brazil prosecutors launch suit against meatpacking giant JBS over beef tied to slavery-like labor
The civil action suit before a labor court in the northern Brazilian state of Para seeks nearly 119 million reais (about $24 million) in compensation, an amount prosecutors say reflects the total value of transactions between JBS and the suppliers. According to the filing, 53 workers were rescued from properties owned by seven ranchers who supplied the meatpacking company between 2014 and 2025. Those employers were listed in Brazil’s official public registry of companies found to have subjected workers to conditions that are similar to slavery, prosecutors said.

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

CPP adopts MLM, without adding 'Gonzalo Thought' "contributions", or joining RIM. these years CPP struggles against such deviationist tendencies, reemerging as hostile parties, kept afloat by petty bourgeois sympathizers, gangster networks and reformists. CPP manages to persecute some (red areas constitute dual power, a state within the bourgeois state of the philippines), others happen to be killed (not proscribed party policy). Brief tumult ensues for some years in the philippine communist movement. CPP emerges victorious.
TKP/ML conflict with state escalates in the mid 90s, in a brutal power struggle. Its power base is the Kurdish community in Turkey. As I have limited info on the situation it's safe to limit the statement to the fact that the repression appears to remain unsuccessful as the culture of the region still is supportive (corresponding to Irish views of IRA / socialist republicans).
RCPUSA takes a turn away and in the late 90s "creates" "his own" "synthesis". It becomes another cult. Today they mostly protest and theatrically praise Bob Avakian himself in the manner a black book of communism chapter would characterize what a socialist mode of production is.
In the 90s M3W is formed as less of a political force and more of… an art project, in North America. Their activity consists of media engagement, primarily online. Their "theoretical elaboration" (that the proletariat in any imperialist nation is structurally incapable of revolution) deviate from MLM and MZT theory and practice, while retaining the militant verbiage and symbolism. They don't last more than a decade in terms of noticeable output, are still technically existing today as "MIM (Prisons)" which also still just posts stuff online, which can be described as "bizarro US exceptionalism".

For example the mass surveillance TRUMP ENDORSED FISA bill that MAGA opposed when trump has been against it in the past just passed and MAGA doesn't give a fuck. Not a single complain from these people. As I said I had no expectations but I'm dissapointed because in past they at least pretended to care about fighting the neocons and the deep state
WTF happened to MAGA?
Wtf happened to MAGA? as a right wing but very libertarian guy I always knew they were kinda bootlickers (not just for trump in general but the police and militarism stuff) but holy shit recently their god has shifted so much to the establishment ON ALMOST EVERY ISSUE that even I can't believe what is happening.For example the mass surveillance TRUMP ENDORSED FISA bill that MAGA opposed when trump has been against it in the past just passed and MAGA doesn't give a fuck.

I dont pity the global south. What exactly are they doing? You go to Asia or Africa and they are so full of propaganda everyone just wants to hustle or find a better position or invest in a crypto scam. Instead of uniting and fucking the west up, they are falling for the trap every single time. In a few months there will be higher food prices and more starvation. Instead of doing whatever they will shitpost with their chinese mobiles on facebook. Does it means that I, a westernoid, should not be blamed? Of course not. All I am saying is that damn they should not be making it so easy to get fucked.

Can anarchism ever make a comeback? They don't seem to do much of anything nowadays. No propaganda of the deed, no cultural staying power, no media personalities. Baby leftists seem to not even be aware of it anymore.

Class in the old ancient world
Surely before capitalism, civilizations still were dominant and based on the haves and have nots, just in different forms. So how can people avoid that being the case beyond capitalism? it seems like class dominance exists well outside of capitalism in multiple societies, how is this addressed, do the anarchists have some points about hereiechy? I think they take it far but shouldnt marxists be using materialism to study all authortarian class relationships not just industrial capitalism?

There was a story that broke a few weeks ago. Something like 60 million visits a month to this porn site called Motherless, which is one of the skeezier porn sites. It doesn't have a VPN, which is probably why they're… It doesn't have age restriction by state. Like, Pornhub — I live in Florida. I can't go on Pornhub because it's blocked unless I use a VPN. But I can go on Xvideos. Pornhub has a lot more professional content. It's a lot more curated. Xvideos, they don't give a fuck. You can just post whatever you want. They don't have age verification, though, which is probably why they don't give a fuck, right? Motherless is the same way.
And so from what I can gather about this story, there are some pretty egregious videos on this service, right? Because it's unregulated and anyone can post anything. And it's clearly a company that doesn't give a shit about following the law because they're not following the age verification protocol, right? And so they're saying 60 million men go online to a rape academy, is what they're calling this porn website.
But in reality, what the actual story is that, yes, there are some pretty egregious videos. And if you interact with those videos, which are a specific niche of videos of people who are asleep. Yeah, you see how this is egregious, right? You see how this is bad? You see how this is unacceptable? If you interact with those videos, you could be invited to a private Discord server and get a whole bunch of tips on how to engage in such behaviors.
The problem is, instead of going, "oh, okay, that's what's happening, that's fucked up, that's awful," the narrative got spun. 60 million men a month go to this. Like, dude, men are just fucking sick in their fucking heads. This is crazy, right?
But that wasn't an organic story. That story was a psy-op. The narrative, the way it was pushed out, the misinformation around the statistics that paint an image of particular groups of people engaging in particular activities that are horrifying.
Pair this, then, with people like Nick Fuentes on their live streams praising Jeffrey Epstein, praising Jeffrey Epstein, talking about what he did — any man would want to do what he did. Any man would want to be in his position. Wouldn't you want to have those little girls on your island? He's a based guy, right? But that's the thing, painting it as something that, well, just men are just naturally like this. This is just how all men are. It's a biological thing. The best we could hope to do is teach men not to be like this and to overcome their natural urges. Motherfucker.
Ghislaine Maxwell is still in prison and they're going to give her a pardon. There have been multiple men who have come out. They said they were victims of trafficking and sexual abuse. Men were connected to the Abercrombie and Fitch company. Men connected to the New Mexico ranch. They found bodies. They've got testimony. They were abusing men and little boys as well.
These fools with their supreme power over us. But the narrative has shifted, and I think it's really convenient how quickly the narrative shifted, because it's exactly what I would do if I was the powers that be. Why? Because then I see posts talking about, well, why is Ghislaine Maxwell even in prison? None of the men, none of the men who did this are being charged. You know, the only reason that she's in prison is because she's the woman. No, no, no. She's in prison because she did horrible crimes against humanity and was a ringleader in a pedophilia ring that took place on a private island, and her accomplice has been missing, perhaps from this earth entirely, or perhaps in a different location, right, because we all know he didn't kill himself.
But it all pairs up so nicely. It all slots in all so well, doesn't it? All men are naturally this, that, and the other thing. You have the right who are pushing this pedophilia narrative, this natural and based thing, like it's just what a Chad would do. These are human monsters who are pushing this because it gives them power over another human being. They're doing this because they enjoy the sadism of having that power over another individual, whether it's a man, a woman, a child — especially a child. They love to destroy innocence. It's a power thing.
But we're making it into a gender war, culture war thing. They're prepping us and priming us, and it's great and it's awesome, it's working. And now I have to scroll through my feed and great, look, we get it, bro. We understand that you're probably not a rapist. You don't need to tell us that. You don't need to go, "look, I know that most men are like this and most men need to learn these lessons, but I'm not like that." I think that's weird. I think that's a strange thing for a lot of these socialist dudes to be pushing without any sort of critical thinking. To go, yeah, you know, because of testosterone, men are just naturally more this and men are more naturally that. No, motherfucker, that's bioessentialism. That's bioessentialism, dog.
Men are not biologically predestined to be one way because they're men, and women aren't biologically predestined to be one way because they're women. I mean, how insane would I sound if I got up on stage and was like, women are biologically programmed to have children. If you're not having children, you're not fulfilling your purpose as a woman. Like, you would be like, that's ridiculous. What the fuck is wrong with you? And I would say, yeah, that is ridiculous. What the fuck is wrong with me? But then you get this progressive discussion of like, well, men are biologically programmed to want to rape women, and men are biologically programmed to be abusive, and this is just how men are. We have to educate them to overcome their urges.
And it's like, now most dudes are not like this. I don't know how to explain this to you, but most men are not like this. In fact, most men are good. And the fact that one of the reigning leaders of this pedophilia ring was a woman, right? And we have seen multiple men from Abercrombie and Fitch male models to little boys on this island to bodies being found in the New Mexico desert — people that have been abused, who have been trafficked, who have been discarded. Are they not victims because of their gender?
And it seems like a really good way to let certain people in power off the hook. And this isn't gonna say that we don't live in a rape culture. We do, because our culture is decided by who has the most money, and we know that the people who have the most money are doing a lot of raping. It's a power thing. It's a power thing, not a biological function.
And so it gets old when every time that we see these monsters do this, because they control every fucking bit of the media, because they have the ability to moderate Reddit. Because Ghislaine Maxwell was a moderator of the largest news subreddit. But she should get a pardon because she's just a poor woman. And she's just taking the fall for these gross men who are doing terrible things. You know, that's a ridiculous take, but it is the exact take that I would imagine they would go with, because it's the same bullshit that they've been doing for the last 15 years.
Identity politics fucking works to divide the working class. It's like, y'all playing it into the handbook, and now I gotta go debate on the weather. Like, it's crazy.
And maybe we shouldn't let certain dudes off the hook. Channel 5 News, brother. Read the testimonies of those women. I know a lot of people who would share his work all day long and think he's the most important guy. When I had my case, man, you should go get interviewed by him because it'd be good for you. I know you don't like him. I know you disagree with him, but I just don't like him. I think he's a predator. I think he's a bad man. I think he harmed women in a real serious way and that's not acceptable and we should be calling out those people. But we don't need to be like, "man, we gotta get it together." Like, man, shut the fuck up. Like, that shit is so cornball.
I'm reminded of a viral TikTok thing that happened where a woman, her boyfriend was cheating on her or what have you, and so her boyfriend had a loose citizenship status. She called ICE on him and got him deported. And this caused a huge schism in the TikTokverse because on one hand, you have reasonable, adult, empathetic people who understand, hey, calling ICE on somebody because they cheated on you is fucked up. You're putting somebody in a concentration camp. This is racially motivated. This is disgusting behavior. Why are you doing this? Right? Baseline, common sense shit.
But you also had a whole lot of people who were like, at the end of the day, he's a man. At the end of the day, that's who our real enemy is, is men. Take no quarter. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Empower yourself, girl.
And I think that little schism, that little microcosm was like a signal to the powers that be. Oh, this is just gender war shit. This men are naturally conservative and women are naturally progressive logic. We can run that up as far as we need to run it up and they'll never have a class war. They'll never have class consciousness. Fuck.
Now you got young men who walk around thinking women are a whole different species and you got the same fucking thing from young women. Like, this shit don't add up. Like, we're all people. We all working class individuals at the end of the day. You know what I'm saying?
And I'm not gonna sit here and be like, there isn't a problem with specific types of people who are predators, right? They exist. I just named one who's got a whole lot of clout, who's got a major platform on the left. A well-respected guy who's apparently a journalist, what have you. Okay. So we have that problem.
But I guess my issue is when we make it a bioessentialist, gender-divided thing. Like, there are things that I don't want to get into with this piece that are personal to me, but I can assure you that men can be victims too. Men can absolutely be victims too. They can be put into positions that they are not able to consent to because fundamentally what this is all about is consent, enthusiastic consent, right?
And this idea that men are all naturally predators and have to be educated into not being predators is just an absolutely ridiculous fallacy. It's a ridiculous fallacy that is based on misinformation. Like, this is not 60 million men went to this rape academy. It's that this porn website had 60 million clicks over a month. The one that doesn't have a VPN blocker for your state. And as we have shown, those laws for this age restriction where you have to submit your ID cause people to go to these sites that have even more egregious content. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they're there for that egregious content, because then you could just open up fucking any of these porn websites and type in BBW twerking. Holy moly.
And that apparently is the same within the information that we're being pushed, within this propaganda that's being pushed out. Doing that is the same as searching for how to rape women and taking an online class, because that's how the information is being fucking presented.
And then you get some guy who is clearly funded by some political organization, but won't tell us who's funding him, because, motherfucker, nobody just shows up and has Instagram clout overnight. And I'm seeing a lot more of these cats, these socialist influencers — how do you got a hundred thousand subscribers when you just started making videos three months ago? That shit don't make sense.
And he gets up on the fucking camera and he goes, "Guys, we gotta get it together. Men, we need to figure out what's wrong with our natural urges. Something's not right here." And it's just like, bro, the problem is capitalist. The problem is a system of exploitation and the culture created by the most alienated and exploited. The culture of people who are the most willing to exploit other human beings for gain. And that's the only thing that trickles down. Not the money, not the economy, but the culture of cruelty trickles down into our society and soaks it, and soaks it up, makes it fucking greasy and fucking slick, and you don't wanna even hold it because it's so gross.
And that is what it is. If you remove capitalism, you can kill off a lot of this other bullshit.
Why aren't people engaged? Why aren't men involved and engaged in socialist rhetoric? Why is it so easy for men to fall into fascist dogma?
One of the first essays I wrote was called "A Generation of Men Caught Between Two Masks." And it was literally about this. How on one end, you've got this framework that you're biologically born wrong, born with a set of behaviors that is fundamentally antithetical to the movement, to peace, to socialism, to what have you. This is how the narrative is painted.
And it doesn't mean I'm advocating for what these men believe. If prescribing how someone falls into a position of thought is the same as agreeing with that thought, then we are never going to make progress because I'm simply trying to explain how people feel when they are told this shit because it is annoying. Because then you have to say, well, we don't mean all men. Well, we know you don't mean all men, but you're still fucking painting like you mean all men, and you still say it like you mean all men. You say this is just how men are. They're all predators.
Then you have that on one end. And then on the other end, you've got the right who's like, yeah, you're a predator. Embrace that shit. This is the natural way of things. No one is going, you don't have to be a predator. You're not a predator. Like, you're just a human being. You have emotions. You're capable of feeling emotions. You're capable of empathy. You're capable of human experience. You're not a monster just because of what is in between your legs.
And also, let's never forget that this biological essentialism, this idea that because of the gender you're born as, because of the sex you are assigned at birth, you have all of these traits that you have to apply to, you have to follow through — it's incredibly transphobic. It's incredibly transphobic. I mean, it's the same logic that TERFs use to prevent trans women from being part of female spaces. Well, they're really men, and men are naturally predators, and so we can't be safe around them, so we have to exclude them. That is literally the logic of a TERF.
And again, I'm not saying that we don't live in a rape culture. We do. The culture is defined by the people at the top, and the people at the top are fucking rapists because they are capitalists, because they are willing to exploit people, because they want to exhibit power over people.
To simply put the idea that someone like Jeffrey Epstein was just operating under his natural biological urges as a man, and that someone like Ghislaine Maxwell was just taken for a ride because she's a woman and it's completely antithetical to what being a woman is for her to engage in those behaviors — that lets people off the hook. That lets the power off the hook. And it excuses rape culture, if anything.
It gets old. It gets old. It gets all these little narratives that they keep pushing out to put men and women against each other, when in reality, it is a class war, not a gender war.
Stop Buying Into Gender Essentialist Psyops
Memetic warfare is an effective means of strategy. Like, we're seeing memetic warfare being used at a scale that is quite frankly never been seen before, you know. It's really ridiculous.There was a story that broke a few weeks ago. Something like 60 million visits a month to this porn site called Motherless, which is one of the skeezier porn sites. It doesn't have a VPN, which is probably why they're… It doesn't have age restriction by state. Like, Pornhub — I live in Florida. I can't go on Pornhub because it's blocked unless I use a VPN.

And that apparently is the same within the information that we're being pushed, within this propaganda that's being pushed out. Doing that is the same as searching for how to rape women and taking an online class, because that's how the information is being fucking presented.
And then you get some guy who is clearly funded by some political organization, but won't tell us who's funding him, because, motherfucker, nobody just shows up and has Instagram clout overnight. And I'm seeing a lot more of these cats, these socialist influencers — how do you got a hundred thousand subscribers when you just started making videos three months ago? That shit don't make sense.
And he gets up on the fucking camera and he goes, "Guys, we gotta get it together. Men, we need to figure out what's wrong with our natural urges. Something's not right here." And it's just like, bro, the problem is capitalist. The problem is a system of exploitation and the culture created by the most alienated and exploited. The culture of people who are the most willing to exploit other human beings for gain. And that's the only thing that trickles down. Not the money, not the economy, but the culture of cruelty trickles down into our society and soaks it, and soaks it up, makes it fucking greasy and fucking slick, and you don't wanna even hold it because it's so gross.
And that is what it is. If you remove capitalism, you can kill off a lot of this other bullshit.
Why aren't people engaged? Why aren't men involved and engaged in socialist rhetoric? Why is it so easy for men to fall into fascist dogma?
One of the first essays I wrote was called "A Generation of Men Caught Between Two Masks." And it was literally about this. How on one end, you've got this framework that you're biologically born wrong, born with a set of behaviors that is fundamentally antithetical to the movement, to peace, to socialism, to what have you. This is how the narrative is painted.
And it doesn't mean I'm advocating for what these men believe. If prescribing how someone falls into a position of thought is the same as agreeing with that thought, then we are never going to make progress because I'm simply trying to explain how people feel when they are told this shit because it is annoying. Because then you have to say, well, we don't mean all men. Well, we know you don't mean all men, but you're still fucking painting like you mean all men, and you still say it like you mean all men. You say this is just how men are. They're all predators.
Then you have that on one end. And then on the other end, you've got the right who's like, yeah, you're a predator. Embrace that shit. This is the natural way of things. No one is going, you don't have to be a predator. You're not a predator. Like, you're just a human being. You have emotions. You're capable of feeling emotions. You're capable of empathy. You're capable of human experience. You're not a monster just because of what is in between your legs.
And also, let's never forget that this biological essentialism, this idea that because of the gender you're born as, because of the sex you are assigned at birth, you have all of these traits that you have to apply to, you have to follow through — it's incredibly transphobic. It's incredibly transphobic. I mean, it's the same logic that TERFs use to prevent trans women from being part of female spaces. Well, they're really men, and men are naturally predators, and so we can't be safe around them, so we have to exclude them. That is literally the logic of a TERF.
And again, I'm not saying that we don't live in a rape culture. We do. The culture is defined by the people at the top, and the people at the top are fucking rapists because they are capitalists, because they are willing to exploit people, because they want to exhibit power over people.
To simply put the idea that someone like Jeffrey Epstein was just operating under his natural biological urges as a man, and that someone like Ghislaine Maxwell was just taken for a ride because she's a woman and it's completely antithetical to what being a woman is for her to engage in those behaviors — that lets people off the hook. That lets the power off the hook. And it excuses rape culture, if anything.
It gets old. It gets old. It gets all these little narratives that they keep pushing out to put men and women against each other, when in reality, it is a class war, not a gender war.

Three navy marines and one air force officer, all assigned to the intelligence agency of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), are charged with serious premeditated assault over last month’s attack on Andrie Yunus, a human rights lawyer and senior activist with the Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of Violence (KontraS), who suffered severe injuries. The case has reignited concerns about impunity for the armed forces.

Amid data centres mushrooming across the world, the study revealed that data harvested through these mechanisms is fed into artificial intelligence (AI) dashboards that correlate calls, messages, geolocation data, and online activity –automating surveillance at a scale once unimaginable. “In conflict zones, such as Gaza or Ukraine, AI systems now fuse telecom and drone feeds to identify and track journalists, blurring the line between observation and physical targeting”, the IFJ said.

Cubans back ‘My signature for the Homeland’ campaign as tensions with US intensify
The homeland initiative began on April 19 and comes as Cuba celebrates the 65th anniversary of its April 1961 Bay of Pigs victory over some 1,500 Cuban exiles backed by the CIA who failed in their attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro’s newly formed Communist government. Alberto Olivera, a visual artist and Hernández’s husband, questioned how Cuba poses a threat to the U.S. “If it’s a failed revolution, then leave us alone,” he said. “What do they care?” Hernández added.

The Court of Appeal heard that there were “plenty” of alternatives to target the actions of Palestine Action aside from banning them as a terror group. The Home Office is challenging the High Court’s ruling in February that the decision to ban Palestine Action last July was “disproportionate” and had a “very significant” impact on human rights, and should be quashed.

Berlin deepens military ties with Washington while Merz-Trump rift grows
Starting in October, an American colonel will serve at the German Army Command in a key role as deputy head of the Operations Division, where missions are planned and decisions are prepared, the German army and the Pentagon told POLITICO. This places a U.S. officer in close cooperation with German counterparts at the center of Germany’s land forces. The aim, a German army spokesperson said, is “to further deepen German-American cooperation and optimize joint operational capability within NATO.”

‘We saw terrible things’: Mali refugees tell of atrocities amid attacks
It was JNIM that forced people in Moctar’s village to leave. The group initially targeted fringe areas with little government control, but as its forces and technical abilities, such as the use of drones, have grown, JNIM has become more daring. Late in September, its fighters attacked tankers carrying oil into the landlocked country from neighbouring Senegal, in effect laying siege to the capital, Bamako. Fighting is also ongoing between Malian troops and rebels of the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), which is fighting for an independent region in northern Mali.

Honest question (NOT trolling):
What exactly should the western left do for Palestine that they haven’t already been doing for the past 2.5 years (or even longer for that matter)?
I’ve seen Palestinian activists say “we need to do more to stop the genocide” more times than I can count. But what should we feasibly be doing that we’re not doing already? Boycotts? Mass protests? Blockading arms sales? Policing your peers’ consumer habits so they’re compliant with BDS? Making lists of politicians who receive money from AIPAC and voting them out? We’ve done this already. In NYC, there was a mass protest every fucking weekend where we were told to “escalate for Gaza” yet we never escalated; I don’t even fucking know what “escalate” is supposed to mean. Were we supposed to be engaging in violent riots and molotoving the banks or whatever?
I asked this to a comrade of mine and he said: “You know what we mean when we want the left to do more for Palestine.” By that, he clearly means engage in political violence, bring back the Weathermen. But how would ultra-left adventurism do anything? Elias Rodriguez did exactly this and is now facing life in prison for killing two interns who were replaced the next day. What a fucking waste.
The American left is way too weak, disorganized, and incompetent to do anything meaningful to help the Palestinians resist or stop Israel. It’s gotten to the point where people are putting all their hope and faith in the idea Israel will collapse on its own because they’ve run out of strategies. So what should the left be doing that it’s not doing already? Give clear examples.

9/11 wasn't tragic
2,977 yanks were killed because of the Oslo Accords and the Gilf War. That then dragged America into a 20 year war that it ultimately lost. 2,000 more US servicemen died during Operation Enduring Freedom. This is justice for 400 years worth of oppression towards indigenous peoples and black people. Prove me wrong. America the Great has fallen. 9/11 and 10/7 were the two days when the US and Israel finally felt what they dished out to so many others. They're the reason the Middle East is so unstable. Anglos, Jews and Arabs are all in on it together. The US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE and Oman got to go.

I'm really new to politics. What I understood so far is:
socialism: social property of the "means of production" (it can be both democratic or revolutionary)
communism: stateless and classless society
marxism: a sociopolitical and economic analysis of society based on the idea that class struggle under capitalism will eventually lead to a socialist and then communist society
They are different concepts, but can work in a same framework depending on how you define them.
Am I right?

HONEST QUESTION
I've been reading a book about the limits of science, one of it's topics is about the idea of chaos and how complex system cannot be fully know to us or controlled, that does it imply that a planned economy is theoretically impossible for us? What is the answer from socialist about this problem? After that question I'm starting to lean towards a market socialism to deal with the question economy complexity, what's is the LeftyPol answer to the question of economic complexity?

• Please remember to add a spoiler to NSFW and extreme content such as graphic violence and gore.
• Try your best to not derail discussion too much from the main events and relevant places where the war is taken place, as well as other happenings, groups and public figures related to it.
• Meta discussion of the historical, philosophical and ideological background of the war is fine as long as its done in good faith and comradely.
• In the event the meta discussion overstays its welcome, participating users will be referred to take the conversation to the INTERNATIONALISM general thread.
• Quality shitposting and original content is encouraged! Spamming glowie memes is low effort.
• this is /ISG/ for people who treats geopolitics like shitty map games
• behead NATO, crush NATO, etc.

Plus the lumpen laugh at the size of the "real movement" - how many are you? You're too little to change anything.
Lumpens do admire China but China doesn't care for anything besides its own citizens.
I was talking to a lumpen
I was talking to a lumpen worker happy that a liberal socialdemocrat won the election, he thinks that the succdem is a "man of the people, he will fix everything". And we talked for a bit yelling. But it got me thinking, the lumpen had no problem with the ruling class as long as his needs were met, and for the large part even in spite of the miserable manual labour - were being met. So why do we demand an economy of needs - production planned on needs "from each according to their ability to each according to their need" if capitalism already fulfills their needs? They will still work, not for wages but it would be the same jobs. Its just that the drive for profit and class causes damage to the planet and misery for the manual laborers but as long as their needs are met they don't really care. They don't want planned production they want somebody else to think for them and most have just accepted their roles in contempt so feel no need for a DOTP - ruling is somebody else's problem to them.Plus the lumpen laugh at the size of the "real movement" - how many are you?

- mass immigration is bad overall (I'm not against immigration per se, more like unfiltered immigration is quiet bad in my opinion)
-religion in general are bad, reactionary and backwater, and trying to "fuse" religion and left leaning politics are bound to fail because both doesn't mix well
-"liberal" eugenics is mostly right and should be mass adopted
-China is actually a trying a form of modernize socialism with end goal of becoming a full fledged socialist nation when they exhaust the market-capitalism form of relation in the country
-North Korea is a abomination of socialism
-Supporting Russia is stupid because Putin is nowhere near close to be a support of socialism and progressive politics and is just a form of support imperialist politics by because isn't western somehow is good, it's like supporting japanese imperialism back in the WW 2 era isn't western

I am an adult human being living in a bourgeois echo chamber who knows nothing about global poverty. please respond only in text, but I want a serious answer - what is happening? Why do so many people want to kill people like me? I've read communist books and they're all theory, but what I actually want is actual information on the state of global poverty. Specifically, what is causing people to die, and in what terrible conditions do people work? The people here seem almost fanatic, and I could understand this if and only if people were literally systematically dying. Please don't be mean to me - I have spent most of my life in a bourgeois echo chamber.

Any strawman that does not address the largest trade deficit that will ever exist shall be ignored.
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.Any strawman that does not address the largest trade deficit that will ever exist shall be ignored.

At the same time questions of what is being gained from these massive investments are being raised. If and when this bubble pops it will have adverse ripple effects across the entire global economic system and the capitalist class will be potentially set back trillions. In the process the contradictions that will lead to capitalism's downfall will intensify, opening the window for a socialist revolution. Even if AI and its related technologies can serve some kind of social good and help develop the productive forces. Actively cheering for an AI bubble burst effectively serves the same function as championing revolutionary defeatism whenever the ruling class wages imperialist wars.
Regardless of your actual stance on AI. You should want and look forward to the AI bubble bursting.
The western AI industry is estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. In 2026 that number will likely balloon even further as more and more capital is poured into the industry. The capitalist class whose shortsightedness is almost always a given has seemingly put all their eggs in this handbasket even at the expense of other sectors of the economy from consumer electronics to the water supply and electrical grids of small towns unfortunate enough to have had a datacenter built in their vicinity.At the same time questions of what is being gained from these massive investments are being raised.

Right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori and left-wing candidate Roberto Sánchez would tie at 38% of the vote in the Peruvian presidential runoff scheduled for June 7, according to the first opinion poll published after the April 12 election, against a backdrop of an inconclusive count and an ongoing dispute over second place. The Ipsos Peru survey, conducted between April 23 and 24 and published by daily Perú.21, points to a scenario of absolute parity with a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points.

Mexico’s military captures top cartel leader in another blow to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel
Flores Silva was seen as a possible successor to Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, or “El Mencho,” who was killed in a dramatic military operation in February. The killing of “El Mencho” led to a surge of cartel violence with a wave of attacks on businesses by cartel gunmen, vehicle burnings and road blockades that killed more than 70 people, including 25 National Guard members.

‘A sudden gap’: poorest to suffer from Trump’s drive to stop Cuba sending doctors to its neighbours
Since Donald Trump began his second term, the governments of Jamaica, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, St Vincent and the Grenadines, the Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, and Paraguay have ended the medical agreements, either immediately or gradually. The lone point of resistance has been Mexico, where the president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has refused to end the programme, saying that the about 3,000 Cuban doctors are of “great help” as they work in remote areas where there is a shortage of personnel.

US spy agencies examine how Iran would react to Trump declaring victory

The goal is to understand the implications of Trump potentially pulling back from a conflict that some officials and advisers worry could contribute to deep Republican losses at the midterm elections later this year, according to the sources.

Sadiq Khan Moves to Block Met Police Deal With Palantir
While the Met has its own procurement team, the London mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime must sign off any contract worth over £500,000, giving Khan some leverage over the deal. A spokesperson for the mayor said: “We can’t comment on live procurement processes. However, as a general point the mayor would have concerns about using public money to support firms who act contrary to London’s values.”

Kenyan court recriminalizes abortion
The 2022 decision held that abortion is a constitutional right, but the appellate court ruled that this was an incorrect interpretation. The constitution adopted by Kenya in 2010 allowed for abortion if “there is a need for emergency treatment, or the life or health of the mother is in danger.” It has, however, remained criminalized in practice for over a decade as the colonial-era penal code has not been amended to reflect this.

What's the stance on Zionism and being pro Islam nowadays if you're trying to be an anrifascist? I used to be involved in fascist groups but I really found them degenerate and loserish. I had other reasons but after 3 years of being apolitical non religious I still got some ideals and Antifascism is starting to appeal to me. And Islam as well.

Russian forces pound Western-backed terrorists in Mali (VIDEOS)
The militants lost more than 1,000 soldiers and 100 vehicles while attacking Bamako and other cities, the Africa Corps has said
Russia’s Africa Corps has released several videos of devastating air and artillery strikes on terrorist columns in Mali after the militants launched one of the largest coordinated attacks ever across the country. The unit added that the attack, which it said involved Western and Ukrainian mercenaries, was aimed at a coup d’etat in the West African country.
The footage released by the unit – which operates under the purview of the Russian Defense Ministry – offers a rare visual account of the fighting which erupted on Saturday when Al-Qaeda affiliate JNIM and the Tuareg-dominated Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) launched almost simultaneous strikes on Bamako, Kati, Gao, Kidal, and Sevare.
One video shows a column of trucks driving along an open road before coming under what appears to be artillery or drone-delivered fire.
In a statement, the Africa Corps said it essentially helped prevent a coup d’etat, as they held positions along the 2,000-km front line. It added that it provided air support, which it said prevented the seizure of key facilities, including the presidential palace in Bamako. According to the unit, militant casualties exceeded 1,000 – including an estimated 200 in Bamako, 500 in Gao, 300 in Kati, and 200 in Kidal – along with more than 100 vehicles destroyed.
The corps estimated the terrorist forces at 10,000 to 12,000, and said the assault was supported by Ukrainian and European mercenaries, adding that they deployed Western-made man-portable air-defense systems, including US-manufactured Stingers and French-made Mistrals.
The Africa Corps said some of its personnel sustained injuries and were being evacuated, while describing the situation in Mali as tense.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said “preliminary data” points to the possible involvement of Western security services in training the attackers. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused France of “attempting to overthrow undesirable nationalist governments” in the Sahara-Sahel using “outright terrorist groups” and “colonial methods.”
The Africa Corps was established in 2023 and has since operated in Mali, the Central African Republic, and other states, with a mandate including counter-terrorism, training local forces, and securing strategic sites.

Nobody would deny on /leftypol/ that in the Imperial Core the standard of living (etc.) has been going down, crazy-style. However, this new trend, we believe, makes it palpable just how luxurious a life these people have been able to afford at the expense of the rest of us.

>>the zine that stood out to me was the one from like 15 years ago that was a memorial to the founders of juche cult thought, and in the image, I see at least 2 people who were moderators for the site "420chan" holding up ak 47s and anti capitalist banners on some farm in the midwest, during the invasion board days era, leftypol looking types ya know, but i know them, real channers in the picture who i chatted with and have the names of, but then in another picture there was an image of the individuals in a run down looking church, only a few white people there, in some type of group meeting, very different crowd, but the alleged juche cult founders still there in photo.
One of the people's names led to a inactive blank facebook page that had a bunch of north korean intelligence and psychological stuff in it, which is possibly connected to their idea of manipulating the subconscious through dreams? This is the part I'm most interested in, so please don't ban this thread, I did save the pdf, but I'm not going to repost it for whatever reason, maybe one of the mods is in the images, or maybe it's just not a good look. I know this is rightfully a rabbit hole the mods here want to close off, especially seeing that the modding community from the chans was right there in the zine, holding a banner and ak47s on a farm called "the field".
>>but I want to know more ABOUT THIS psychological field. lets discuss it?
TL;DR i actually find this topic on the dreams and subconscious mind control very interesting. this is what the thread is about that part of this story, not the Juche meme, please, and thank you.

The Z gang anon said reproductive sexbots and I said sapient humanoid robots and went into great detail while drunk about them being humanity's greatest creation and humanity's greatest companion.
I tried all the keywords, nothing.
Does anyone remember my replies? Can anyone find them?
I feel like I wrote some pretty important stuff but I can't remember much right now.
Was the original thread deleted? I don't even remember what it was called.

Iraqi president names Shia bloc candidate Ali al-Zaidi as PM-designate
The selection of al-Zaidi breaks a months-long deadlock in which United States President Donald Trump had intervened, after former two-time Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had emerged as the coalition’s initial candidate. Al-Maliki, who is close to Iran, was fiercely opposed by Trump. The US president warned that all support to Iraq would stop if he became prime minister.

Germany: Trial of 'Ulm Five' protesters accused of Elbit break-in postponed
The trial of five activists accused of breaking into a facility of Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, in Ulm, Germany, has been postponed after the defendants were placed behind a glass barrier, preventing contact with lawyers. Known by the name "Ulm Five", the activists allegedly entered the factory on the 8 September 2025 by smashing a glass facade and subsequently destroyed office equipment, including computers, screens and telephones.

Uber Eats and Deliveroo accused of 'human trafficking': Multinational giants out of touch with delivery workers' struggles
A large building in the heart of London, with typical "start-up" décor: a few oversized armchairs, brightly colored sofas, exposed brick walls. It is here, at Deliveroo's global headquarters, that "human trafficking" is allegedly being organized, according to a complaint filed on Wednesday, April 22, by four French non-profit organizations representing delivery workers. The accusation, which also targets Uber Eats, signals a further escalation in the long-running legal battle between meal delivery platforms and the cyclists who crisscross major cities around the world.

It doesn't matter what ideology you have. Whether you're left-wing, right-wing, communist, anarchist, primitivist, nihilist, Nazi, Muslim, or Christian. You can't be a revolutionary if asceticism isn't part of your life. What do you give up? Social media? Video games? Drugs? Shopping? You know perfectly well what the comforts of the system do to your revolutionary spirit. It corrupts you, it makes you dependent. The system re-educates you with consumption and comfort.

This is incorrect as, while America is a settler-colonial state, nonetheless was founded on the basis of enlightenment principles like equality before the law and liberty, considering how the American and French revolutions at the time were leftist at the time of the events, with the notion of equality of men itself being already extremely radical at a time when absolute monarchies were the standard in Europe. That’s not all, as contrary to popular opinion the Founding Fathers themselves weren’t conservative. Whether it’s the lack of any mention specifying the USA as a “white Christian country” founded on the basis of theology in the constitution and the federalist papers, George Washington himself coming to oppose slavery before the abolitionist movement began to gain momentum, many of said fathers being at best deists or nominally Christian, the USA being effectively the first democratic republic in history with limited suffrage being a short-lived experiment that was swept away in favour of universal male suffrage, Thomas Jefferson himself owning a copy of the Quran and a version of the Bible excised of all supernatural elements and among other examples show that the USA was far from the hotbed of reactionary politics both liberals and chuds tend to portray it as. Even the Indian Removal Act that led to the infamous “Trail of Tears” wasn’t unanimously agreed upon, with strong opposition by Christian missionaries and other politicians who opposed it based on the shared humanity and parity between white settlers Native Americans. Indeed, while such ideals coexisted with institutionalised inequality, it is precisely by appealing to those founding ideals unique to America's foundations that movements like MLK's civil rights was even possible. Indeed, had it not been for America, most of the progressive movements in other parts of the west wouldn't even exist (e.g., Germany's gay liberation movement, extirpated by nazism and only resurged in the postwar period because of the rise of America's gay rights movement.)
So it’s no wonder given all this that, despite the reproduction of reactionary politics like Manifest Destiny and Jim Crow laws, the notion of equality (or pretence to it) persisted throughout American history, which laid the seeds for the civil rights, feminist, and gay rights movements of the contemporary era. And I would argue that it is said notion that distinguishes the American project from other settler-colonies that were more explicit on their racial/ethnic/theological basis, such as Argentina, Australia, Canada, and of course, Israel.
It should also be noted that the USA, for all of its faults, isn’t currently segregating Native Americans from mainstream American society via a state-sponsored countrywide system of racial segregation, nor bombing every Indian reserve and sponsoring white Americans (immigrant or not) to steal land from indigenous people and kicking out of their home by force. So, one could counter-argue that it’s a difference of ‘degrees of coloniality’ rather than absence of it. But I digress. Not to peddle Whig history slop, but it’s undeniable that America was founded on a notion of equality between races and faiths that is completely absent in contrast to the founding of Israel.
Israel just isn’t analogous to America, especially given how Israel both defines itself in particularist ethno-centric ways and has a theological basis that America lacks, as well as how Israeli settler-colonialism follows along the models of standard European colonialism combined with state terrorism both against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza (to the point that Israel is engaging in genocide there). So while the USA isn’t currently engaging in genocide against its natives, the same can’t be said for Israel and its society, where the grand majority of Israelis are effectively kahanists per the latest opinion polls. And that goes for the entire political right and most of the political left in Israel, so let that sink in.
From a leftist standpoint, it can be said that settler-colonialism in the Americas played a historically progressive role in developing productive forces, while simultaneously producing deeply reactionary social relations. The same cannot be said of modern Israeli settler-colonialism, which does not represent a transition to a higher mode of production, but rather a reproduction of imperial domination in a more concentrated form. Ultimately, the claim that “Israel is just like America” obscures more than it reveals. Both are products of colonial history, but they occupy different positions within the global capitalist system. Recognizing this distinction allows for a clearer analysis of imperialism today, especially as Palestinians (unlike the indigenous peoples of the Americas) had their own conception of private property alongside their own bourgeoisie that predates the Balfour Declaration.
Now, if we had to give the closest western analogue, that would be Australia. Back when he was just a war-mongering liberal instead of a war-mongering white nationalist radlib, Drew Pavlou debated (and lost) against neo-nazi Joel Davis on immigration, with Joel making the interesting point that Australia was ran as a white nationalist colonial state and that the founding fathers of Australia and its past PMs were under no delusion that Australia was anything more than a white nationalist state, the “White Australia Policy” being the formalisation of such ideals into law. Indeed, since the dominion’s government lacked any significant armed opposition on the part of Aboriginals of Australia, it can be said that the current Australian policies towards mass immigration and multiculturalism were less about equality than they were about chasing after cheap labor per the needs of the capitalist elites and perhaps tailing after America. The same can be said in the cases of the republic of Argentina and the dominion of Canada, both of which were ran explicitly as white nationalist states, albeit with special emphasis on their links with their metropoles (formerly Spain and currently the UK/France, respectively), the liberalisations of immigration laws and moves towards a less racially-exclusionary definition of their identities only occurring in the late 20th century long after the US did the same.
All in all: There’s nothing inconsistent between being an anti-Zionist and being an American patriot on the basis of opposition to genocide and anti-imperialism. It's best not to give zionists more ammo, as it is a common hasbara talking point to equate Israeli settler-colonialism with America's one, and thus equivocate all critiques of zionism as being implicitly anti-American.

P.S.: I’m not trying to make apologetics for American atrocities then and now, I’m simply pointing out the need to fight against the attempts of both Hasbara mockingbird media and misguided anti-zionists to equivocate American history with Israeli history to sway American public opinion on Israel’s favor. Unless you think America as a nation is in any way redeemable, then you might as well give up on agitating for revolution in America and just go to another country. What more can I say?
On Settler-Colonialism: America vs Israel
I see a lot of talk concerning how Israel should be supported by the USA and European countries for various reasons and, notably, none of them concern with material benefits for either native Europeans or long-time American citizens, instead focusing on abstractions and ideals. As Trump has led the USA into another forever war with Iran (at the behest of Israel, per the words of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio), it is pertinent to talk about a common anti-Zionist talking point that I find counterproductive. Namely: Israel’s colonialism is the same as that of American settle colonialism from the late 18th century to the early 20th century.This is incorrect as, while America is a settler-colonial state, nonetheless was founded on the basis of enlightenment principles like equality before the law and liberty, considering how the American and French revolutions at the time were leftist at the time of the events, with the notion of equality of men itself being already extremely radical at a time when absolute monarchies were the standard in Europe.

The same can be said in the cases of the republic of Argentina and the dominion of Canada, both of which were ran explicitly as white nationalist states, albeit with special emphasis on their links with their metropoles (formerly Spain and currently the UK/France, respectively), the liberalisations of immigration laws and moves towards a less racially-exclusionary definition of their identities only occurring in the late 20th century long after the US did the same.
All in all: There’s nothing inconsistent between being an anti-Zionist and being an American patriot on the basis of opposition to genocide and anti-imperialism. It's best not to give zionists more ammo, as it is a common hasbara talking point to equate Israeli settler-colonialism with America's one, and thus equivocate all critiques of zionism as being implicitly anti-American.

P.S.: I’m not trying to make apologetics for American atrocities then and now, I’m simply pointing out the need to fight against the attempts of both Hasbara mockingbird media and misguided anti-zionists to equivocate American history with Israeli history to sway American public opinion on Israel’s favor. Unless you think America as a nation is in any way redeemable, then you might as well give up on agitating for revolution in America and just go to another country. What more can I say?

So, it appears that despite the most common assumptions, labour "aristocratic"/well paid workers can and have been notable partecipants in the class struggle, everywhere from Italy to Chile and from the UK to South Africa
> The most important counter-example is the Russian working class in the early 20th century. The backbone of Lenin’s Bolsheviks (something he was most definitely aware of) were the best paid industrial workers in the Russian cities – skilled machinists in the largest factories. Lower paid workers, such as the predominantly female textile workers, were generally either unorganized or apolitical (until the beginnings of the revolution) or supported the reformist Mensheviks.
> German Communism became a mass movement when tens of thousands of well-paid metal workers left the Independent Socialists and joined the Communists in 1921. The French and Italian Communists also became mass parties through the recruitment of thousands of machinists who led the mass strikes of the postwar period. These highly paid workers were also overrepresented in the smaller Communist parties of the United States and Britain.
> In Chile between 1970 and 1973, and Argentina between 1971 and 1974, copper miners and metal workers engaged in industrial struggles and took the lead in mass mobilizations against the military and the right. In Brazil, it was the well-paid metal workers in the suburbs of San Paolo who led mass strikes in the 1970s that created the CUT
> it was the highest paid Black workers in South Africa – in mining, auto, steel – whose struggles in the 1970s created the radical and militant FOSATU trade union confederation.

The one thing I am looking forward to at this point is when this "innovation" finally backfires in the worst possible way, like when China starts using their reverse-engineered clones of US AI models to utterly destroy the concept of intellectual property forever, when every software patent and pharma patent and trade secret can be reverse-engineered by anyone at the press of a button and the secret inner workings of absolutely everything we manufacture instantly becomes public knowledge and can be sold as a perfect generic clone at a fraction of the price, courts overwhelmed with more lawsuits than they could ever possibly settle with, tariffs and trade restrictions and economic sanctions desperately trying to undo what cannot be undone, the private r&d industry losing all incentive to come up with the next patentable marketable bullshit idea and closing up shop, tech innovation returning to the domain of the public sector where it belongs.
The private sector sucks at innovation
Private sector "innovations" are almost entirely hype and bullshit and exaggerated claims and continuously finding worse and worse ways to reinvent the wheel and devotion to nothing but short term profit from venture capital, zillions of dollars devoted into things like AI chatbots to replace human labor with inferior slop, cryptocurrency pump and dump scams, ridesharing companies that make taxis and delivery services that charge customers more and pay drivers less, anti-aging drugs that will never work, actually useful drugs being repurposed into cosmetic drugs, renewable energy technologies that will never work, space exploration projects that will never pan out, electric cars that are so overpriced and shitty that we had to enact massive tariffs to stop Americans from buying cheaper better ones from China, smarthome technology that nobody wants or needs except bored millionaires, cars and electronic devices deliberately designed to break early and be unrepairable to increase sales volume, life-saving pharmaceuticals locked behind patents for decades and price gouged to exploit the sick and dying.The one thing I am looking forward to at this point is when this "innovation" finally backfires in the worst possible way, like when China starts using their reverse-engineered clones of US AI models to utterly destroy the concept of intellectual property forever, when every software patent and pharma patent and trade secret can be reverse-engineered by anyone at the press of a button and the secret inner workings of absolutely everything we manufacture instantly becomes public knowledge and can be sold as a perfect generic clone at a fraction of the price, courts overwhelmed with more lawsuits than they could ever possibly settle with, tariffs and trade restrictions and economic sanctions desperately trying to undo what cannot be undone, the private r&d industry losing all incentive to come up with the next patentable marketable bullshit idea and closing up shop, tech innovation returning to the domain of the public sector where it belongs.

In my view, all ideologies can be compressed in these 12:
radical left:
anarchism
communism
moderate left:
social-democracy
social liberalism
moderate right:
libertarianism
conservatism
radical right:
nazifascism
traditionalism
Am I wrong?
I just didn't know where to put socialism in general, but I think the revolutionary socialists are just communists and "democratic socialists" are somehow the same thing as social-democrats basically, so I'll leave it as it is.

Why are the bourgeoisie so unapologetically evil? I know this is a stupid question but its hard for me to fathom how a human being could be as malicious and uncaring as the bourgeoisie are. Do they not care at all for the suffering they cause humanity, and the destruction they bring to the planet as a whole? Or do they delusionally believe that what they are doing is somehow in the right?

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.

Who's afraid of Gabriel Rockhill?
It looks like the hysteria over Gabriel Rockhill's expose of CIA funded western marxism has hit Jacobin. Since Rockhill's book was published, he's been living rent free in the heads of critical theorists. A bourgeois Indian academic who lives in the US and considers China "sweatshop socialism" has made at least 20 FB posts about Rockhill over the past month. Katerina Kolozova, a "marxist" from FYROM who wrote an article where she said "real marxists" wanted the breakup of Yugoslavia because it was "fake socialism" and Monkeydonians were "real europeans" unlike "Russians and Ukrainians" also went into meltdown mode. The Jacobin article just ties it all together. The author says we need critical theory and western marxism more than we need another Stalin or Mao. But given how impotent western marxists have been to achieve any kind of revolutionary success, it seems that their main issue with Rockhill is that he accurately diagnoses them as hacks. None of the articles, op-eds, or posts about Rockhill's book actually try to refute the facts he presents (backed up by FOIA requests) but just defend bourgeois liberal democracy as superior to actually existing socialism. The Indian admitted to me he didn't even finish Rockhill's book, and one of my irl friends who's been flipping out about it has refused to even read it. If Rockhill is so wrong, why is it no one can actually refute his truth nukes?

Iran’s authorities and state media project that they are less interested than before the war in negotiations with the United States if they go beyond their accepted terms, as mediated talks failed to materialise in Pakistan.Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met senior Pakistani officials in Islamabad on Saturday and left for Oman, to be later bound for Russia. The top diplomat, who was not joined by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf like in a previous round of negotiations earlier this month, said he was “yet to see if the US is truly serious about diplomacy”.

Activists break into Leicester factory owned by Israeli firm Elbit Systems
On Friday morning, they occupied the roof of a factory belonging to UAV Tactical Systems, which is owned by Elbit Systems UK, the British subsidiary of Israel's largest weapons manufacturer. According to media group The Aftershock, the activists used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing to enter the premises.

Cultural touchstones include Deltarune, Hazbin Hotel, Genshin Impact, VTubers, streamers, and drawing "OCs". They practice queerness as default, learned through fandom rather than via theory.
Dinergoths are suburban or rural, often working in service, warehouse, or anonymous office jobs. More Buffalo than Brooklyn. They prioritize comfort, creative hobbies, and online community over career status. Content creation is often seen as an exit out of a disenchanted world.

Unlike earlier subcultures, dinergoths aren't rebellious or ironic. Hentai and stagnation are just facts of life. Cultural touchstones include Deltarune, Hazbin Hotel, Genshin Impact, VTubers, streamers, and drawing "OCs". They practice queerness as default, learned through fandom rather than via theory.
Dinergoths are suburban or rural, often working in service, warehouse, or anonymous office jobs. More Buffalo than Brooklyn. They prioritize comfort, creative hobbies, and online community over career status. Content creation is often seen as an exit out of a disenchanted world.
Dinergoth traits now permeate Gen Z mass culture, but the archetype is clearest in the pierced, anime-addled, downwardly mobile alt-prole who thrives in the stagnation and placelessness of the American hinterlands."
The person who came up with this is a rightoid so he focuses on the "overweight green haired non-binary walmart prole who spends xer time off talking on hazbin hotel fandom discords" type, but it also largely applies to the Samantha Rupnow types as well if you swap a few words around.

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.

The primary contradiction in non-AES Global South countries is not "foreign-bourg vs national-bourg" but rather, it's "industrial capitalist vs financial capitalist".
An imperialist foreign Western capitalist who builds a factory and develops the productive forces by outsourcing and transferring technology and capital is infinitely more progressive than a "patriotic" "sovereign" nationalist financial capitalist or service capitalist.
Countries that realized this simple fact, like South Korea, Mexico, Poland, Indonesia etc are able to develop and massively increase their standard of living.
Countries that misguidedly pursued "sovereignty" instead via protectionism and over regulation, like many post-colonial countries, suffered from stagnation. Those countries were actually scammed by their "patriotic" bourgeoisie to protect their local capital from competition that would have built industry and improved their standard of living.
Therefore, being blindly anti-imperialist by default is not useful. Collaborating with foreign and domestic industrial giants while keeping both domestic and foreign finance at bay should be the primary goal of socialists in these countries.

I live surrounded by liberals. When I ask them how they would solve the existing problems in the current system, they always reduce their solutions down to three things: 1. arrest the "Epstein class" (yay, prisons!), 2. overturn the Citizens United SCOTUS decision to get money out of politics, and 3. bring back the Fairness Doctrine (no idea how that's supposed to work when everyone under 35 is getting their political views from influencers, YouTubers, and Twitch streamers rather than TV news but I digress).
I have a very hard time understanding how politics is supposed to be divorced from money in any way. The entire political system is designed to serve the capitalist class. Putting limits on how much the rich can donate to politicians or lobbyist groups doesn't change that.
It seems like the main reason liberals like spreading this myth is because they take for granted the idea everyone would willingly vote for mediocre establishment Democrats over the GOP if billionaires weren't allowed to give large sums of money to GOP candidates, never mind the fact that plenty of billionaires also support liberal Democrats too (Obama's biggest donor in 2008 was Goldman-Sachs, for instance). I fail to see how overturning Citizens United would do anything to lead us to socialism. Seems like more of a symbolic victory than anything. What does everyone else say?

It said that if US President Donald Trump decides to end the war with Iran and the truce in Lebanon holds, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will seek to keep the offensive ongoing on other fronts, particularly as the October 2026 Israeli elections approach. Netanyahu’s opponents have accused him of failing to achieve "absolute victory" in Gaza, and according to Haaretz, this is one of the reasons why he would want to restart the war.

Israeli settlers cross into Syria and Lebanon calling for new settlements
According to Israel’s Walla news site, around 40 activists from the Halutzei HaBashan movement crossed the Syrian border on Wednesday and entered the village of Hader in the Quneitra governorate. Some of the group reportedly barricaded themselves inside a building, tying themselves to it and urging the public to pressure Israeli ministers not to remove them from Syrian territory.

Slovenia to air films about Palestine instead of Eurovision song contest
Slovenia’s premier, Robert Golob, who was re-elected in a tight election this March, has been a vocal critic of Israel’s war. In August 2025 his government announced a ban on the import of products from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank as part of its response to “the Israeli government’s policy that undermines prospects for lasting peace”.

ICC rules that Philippine ex-President Duterte must stand trial for murder
The case will now be assigned to a trial chamber which will start planning for a trial. In previous cases, it has taken the ICC up to a year between the confirmation of charges and the opening of a trial. Prosecutors have said Duterte created, funded and armed death squads to target and kill suspected narcotics peddlers and users when he was in power between 2016 and 2022. He was arrested and taken to The Hague last March.

War with Pakistan halts school for Afghan border children
The Barikot school is one of 22 in need of urgent reconstruction in Afghanistan's northeastern Kunar province, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). About 12,000 students displaced or affected by the war need safe spaces to learn or catch up on classes in Afghanistan, OCHA said in a report this month. Along Barikot's high street, shops were shut, and some had been reduced to rubble.

Nepal’s home minister second cabinet member to exit in a month
NEPAL’S home minister resigned on Wednesday, saying there have been questions raised about his investments and other matters. Sudan Gurung, who took office on March 27, is the second cabinet member to exit in a month. Mr Shah dismissed his labour minister earlier this month after the RSP ruled Dipak Kumar Sah had misused “the dignity of his position” to get his wife appointed as a member of the board of directors of the country’s Health Insurance Board.

Palestinian boy, 14, among two killed in settler attack near West Bank school
The Palestinian health ministry said Aws al-Naasan, 14, and Jihad Abu Naim, 32, were killed in the attack on the village of al-Mughayyir, in which three others were wounded. The head of the local council told Reuters that Israeli settlers had entered the village and opened fire near a school – first at students, and later at others who arrived at the scene. Witnesses said settlers were later followed by Israeli soldiers.

Palestinian March of Return reshaped by Israeli restrictions
Despite restrictions imposed by Israeli police, hundreds of Palestinians took part in local tours to their destroyed villages to commemorate the Nakba, or catastrophe, which refers to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Zionist militias to make way for the creation of Israel in May 1948. Through these events, Palestinians say they aim to reaffirm their identity amid what they describe as ongoing Israeli attempts to erase it.

US to ‘shoot and kill’ Iranian boats laying mines in Hormuz, Trump says
The Pentagon said on Thursday that the US military conducted a “maritime interdiction and right-of-visit” to a tanker carrying Iranian oil in the Indian Ocean. Earlier this week, the US military also said it seized an Iranian vessel and ordered dozens of others to turn around.
Meanwhile, Iran has also captured foreign commercial vessels around the Hormuz Strait, which it said were in violation of naval regulations.

Without theoretical consciousness, without the need to express it in articulate language, but making their statement with their bodies and their actions, they cried out that there can be no civil and political equality as long as there is economic inequality, and that the way to end this inequality is not with laws, decrees, lectures and sermons, but by overthrowing by force the bases of a society divided into classes….

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

Personally, my biggest problem with marxism is dialectical and historical materialism. Marx himself didn't seem to care all that much after his Theses on Feuerbach but the concept, revived during the IInd International, now has an almost central place in any discussion about Marxism.
My biggest issue with it would be that it is overly general. Most philosophers and scientists already accept the idea that the world is in motion and perpetually changing. The idea that everything is in a situation of interdependence and that only the understanding of a concept in its overarching totality can bring about correct knowledge appears to be already mostly accepted. Positing these through "laws" as Engels puts it in his Anti-Duhring is imo simply creating meaningless and vacuous terms. Apart from making deontological conduct claims to how we should avoid making hagiographies and seek to have a global understanding of a phenomenon prior to assessing claims about it is almost tautological in regards to today's scientific approach and conduct.
I think a big issue as to why it became popular is simply that it's somewhat easy to understand compared to marxian economics, and that it avoids one having to make normative claims. It made sense in the early 20th century to point these out, as materialism was still a relatively "modern" paradigm, but nowadays it seems redundant.
Thoughts ?

Instead of textbook studies determining what could be done, the determination is on test phase studies; in medicine, engineering, and the military.
Hence there is no testing phase, merely a live stage test; a learning facility.
Otherwise, the system would collapse; the poorly educated of the wealthy, unable to broker deals, deal with the poor; the information already proven in studies of industry and grammar, given to sabotage.
Otherwise, the incarceration of police and the death at own fear, of any colour or origin, having been promentory.
Therefore, the constant and permanent end to the economy.

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.

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 overall American left has been stuck when it comes to effective anti-war activism. The way the US does war nowadays isn’t Vietnam but El Salvador: instead of sending in a bajillion troops to invade/occupy the US just funds proxy armies and now uses drone/aerial warfare. That’s what Obama did in Syria last decade, for instance.
The anti-war music we’re all used to was very much a product of the 60s New Left, and there was no 60s New Left without the Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam War. The youth were afraid of being drafted into a bullshit war that the U.S. couldn’t win. But we don’t see mass boots on the ground today, and because of that, we don’t see a mass response to war in the cultural realm. In order for Billie Eilish to be “John Lennon”, Iran needs to be Vietnam (Gd forbid). In order for Kehlani to make a “What’s Going On?” or a “Someday We’ll All Be Free” Iran needs to be Vietnam. The war needs to conform to a method of warfare that the left knows how to effectively oppose. It’s morbid and disgusting but that’s sadly the case.
And assuming the “woke” pop stars make music in response to this conflict, what will it contain? It won’t be universalist anti-war or anti-imperialist anthems but centre entirely on “I hate Trump, this war is about Epstein, AIPAC bad”. Will be highly dated in three years once Trump and his goons leave office.
The Real Reason We Don’t See Protest Music Anymore
The question of why Trump’s Iran war hasn’t sparked a wave of anti-war protest music is actually very simple.The overall American left has been stuck when it comes to effective anti-war activism. The way the US does war nowadays isn’t Vietnam but El Salvador: instead of sending in a bajillion troops to invade/occupy the US just funds proxy armies and now uses drone/aerial warfare.

On Sunday, an estimated 36,000 people squeezed on to narrow paths in front of the National Diet – Japan’s parliament – to call for an immediate end to the Iran war and to keep the country’s “pacifist” constitution intact. The event was the latest in a wave of protests that are attracting people in greater numbers each time. An estimated 3,600 people demonstrated in late February, swelling to 24,000 by late March, culminating in this weekend’s huge turnout.

The head of Myanmar’s army-backed government proposes new peace talks with armed resistance groups
Nay Phone Latt, a spokesperson for the National Unity Government, the main group coordinating opposition to military rule, said Tuesday that it and the People’s Defense Force units under its command would continue to fight alongside other resistance forces until their goals are achieved. “We all already understood that the military’s fake invitations are aimed at prolonging people’s subjugation under military rule,” Nay Phone Latt said.

Pakistan delivers weapons to Libya's Haftar as part of Saudi-financed deal, sources say
A second official confirmed that the shipments from Pakistan had taken place, but did not say what type of arms were provided. Reuters first reported that Haftar’s eastern-based government had sealed a $4bn arms deal with Pakistan - the country’s largest - following a trip in December to Benghazi by Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir. The delivery of Pakistani arms to Libya has not been previously reported, but comes against the backdrop of rising skepticism about the fate of other Pakistani arms deals in Africa.

‘Stop sucking up to America’: Japan’s youth rises up to protect pacifist constitutionOn Sunday, an estimated 36,000 people squeezed on to narrow paths in front of the National Diet – Japan’s parliament – to call for an immediate end to the Iran war and to keep the country’s “pacifist” constitution intact. The event was the latest in a wave of protests that are attracting people in greater numbers each time. An estimated 3,600 people demonstrated in late February, swelling to 24,000 by late March, culminating in this weekend’s huge turnout.

Pakistan delivers weapons to Libya's Haftar as part of Saudi-financed deal, sources say
A second official confirmed that the shipments from Pakistan had taken place, but did not say what type of arms were provided. Reuters first reported that Haftar’s eastern-based government had sealed a $4bn arms deal with Pakistan - the country’s largest - following a trip in December to Benghazi by Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir. The delivery of Pakistani arms to Libya has not been previously reported, but comes against the backdrop of rising skepticism about the fate of other Pakistani arms deals in Africa.

On October 7, 2023 Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis in a low-tech invasion of Israel after the 2018-19 Gaza border protests where Israel used live ammunition on protesters, killing 223 protesters (including 46 children), and injured 9,204 others (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–2019_Gaza_border_protests), then that lead to the clashes in 2019 where Palestinian rockets killed 4 people inside Israel (source: https://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-05/06/c_138036325_13.htm). Prior, from 2008-2018 after the security checkpoints were set up in Gaza and the border wall with the West Bank following the Second Intifada, until 10 years later, only 30 were killed by rocket fire(source: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/258177344/#q258177344). This lead to the 2021 Israel-Palestine crisis where 14 Israelis were killed, 114 wounded, 1 soldier killed, 3 wounded, 1 aerial drone was destroyed in friendly fire, 2 Jewish Israelis were killed in Lod & Acre riots, and 2 soldiers wounded, 6 border police injured in the West Bank (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Israel–Palestine_crisis). A further 400 IDF killed in the Gaza War, 2,000 injured as of October 2025, which has turned into the fourth deadliest war fought by Israel on the Israel side, right behind the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the 1967-70 war of attrition. (source: https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/sites/default/files/2025-10/Human-Toll-in-Gaza_Costs-of-War_Crawford_7-October-2025.pdf).
Tens of thousands of Gazans were killed in Operation Swords of Iron War, hundreds of thousands more maimed, and millions more displaced. Hamas used to number in the tens of thousands, but now it's believed to only be in the hundreds, with their new leader being Izz al-Din al-Haddad in the Gaza City division. Israel is demanding what's left of Hamas to disarm, but they refuse, because it could spark a civil war with all the armed gangs that Israel controls in the region, like Yasser Abu Shabab's Popular Forces, who already control the food supply in Gaza City.
In Operation Eternal Darkness and the 2026 Lebanon War, Israel lost 16 soldiers and suffered 411 injuries (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Lebanon_war). In the 2026 Iran war, America lost 15 soldiers killed, 538 military personnel wounded and at least 17 US sites in the Middle East damaged. Israel had 16 soldiers killed, 27 civilians killed, 7,834 injured, 690 military personnel wounded and $11.52 billion in economic damage. The United States had at least 12 radar systems and satellite terminals destroyed or damaged, multiple AN/TPY-2s destroyed or damaged, 1 THAAD radar destroyed or seriously damaged, 1 AN/FPS-132, 1 AN/TPS-59, 1 AN/FPS-117, 1 AN/MPQ-64 destroyed, and 1 MIM-104 Patriot AN/MPQ-65 radar and 1 AN/TPS-75 damaged (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war).
In the 12 day war, Israel saw 32 civilians and 1 off-duty soldier killed, 3,238 wounded, 2 Hermes drones shot down, 61+ UAVs and cruise missiles destroyed, 10,000+ drones seized, 700+ Mossad agents arrested and 5 Mossad agents executed. In the 2025-26 Iranian protests, 7,015–36,500+ protesters were killed, 330,000–360,000 maimed and 53,552 were arrested. In 2023 after the October 7 attacks, the Houthis attacked the Galaxy leader, taking 25 hostages, some of whom were injured. In 2024, two US Navy SEALs drowned in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Somalia (Christopher Chambers and Nathan Gage Ingram) while trying to seize Iranian supplies going to the Houthis. In 2024, 3 US soldiers were killed in a Houthi drone strike in Jordan.

Geopolitics is a bourgeois, reactionary concept that uses distorted interpretations of physical and economic geography to justify and promote the aggressive policies of imperialist states. Geopolitics's core ideas assert the decisive role of physical and geographical conditions in the life of human society and the inequality of races (see Racism). The theories of Social Darwinism (see Social Darwinism) and Malthusianism (see Malthusianism) are also used. Geopoliticians make extensive use of the concepts of "living space," "natural boundaries," and geographic location to justify militarism and wars of conquest.
The concept of geopolitics arose during the period of imperialism. The first representatives of geopolitics were the Swedish political scientist and pan-Germanist R. Kjellén, who proposed the term "geopolitics" during the First World War (1914-1918) (as a doctrine of the state - a geographical and biological organism striving for expansion), the German geographer F. Ratzel, the English geographer H. Mackinder, the American admiral A. T. Mahan. In the period between the two world wars, geopolitics was intensively cultivated in Germany. Geopolitics became the official doctrine of German fascism. The head of the German geopoliticians was General K. Haushofer, the founder and editor (in 1924-44) of the journal "Zeitschrift für Geopolitik" ("Zeitschrift für Geopolitik"), which promoted the ideas of revanchism and aggression; K. Haushofer was closely connected with the leadership of the fascist party. In the United States in the 1940s. Geopolitics' ideas were developed by N. Speakman and other geographers and sociologists.
After World War II (1939–45), geopolitics began to revive in the United States, West Germany, and other imperialist states to justify the militarization of their countries, aggressive policies, and ideas of revanchism directed against socialist countries and national liberation movements. In West Germany, the journal "Zeitschrift für Geopolitik" was republished in 1951; the "Union of Geopolitics" was revived. Contemporary geopoliticians attempt to explain the contrast between socialist and capitalist countries by geographic factors.

We are not going to have boycotters or climate denialists at the table,” Vélez said.

Argentina's government counts 9,421 people living on streets across 19 provinces
It found that 83 percent of those living on the streets were male, with the resulting 17 percent female. By age, 92 percent were aged 18 or over, with six percent classified as minors. Of those quizzed, 32 percent had been homeless for more than two years. Denying them access to public services, 10 percent did not hold a national identity document (DNI). Fifty-two percent of respondents had completed primary school but did not finish secondary education.

Swazi political organizers and activists face wave of state repression
The regime in Swaziland has escalated its crackdown on pro-democracy forces, carrying out a wave of arrests, abductions, and targeted repression. Youth leaders and organizers have been particularly singled out, with the latest target being Nontsetselelo Ncamsile Nkambule, treasurer general of the Swaziland Youth Congress and a People’s United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO) cadre.

Lebanese overcome destroyed bridges and roads to return home after Israel pauses bombing campaign
Roads linking Beirut to southern Lebanon were quickly overwhelmed, with traffic stretching for kilometres from the outskirts of Sidon to crossings over the Litani River. With key infrastructure damaged or destroyed, residents worked alongside the Lebanese army, local government workers, and volunteers to restore access routes that had been cut off by Israel's bombardment of civilian infrastructure in the south.

US tech firms successfully lobbied EU to keep datacentre emissions secret
The rise of AI chatbots has spurred a boom in the construction of chip-filled warehouses with a hunger for power that is being met, in part, by burning fossil gas. Legal scholars warn the blanket confidentiality clause may fall foul of EU transparency rules and the Aarhus convention on public access to environmental information.

Thailand’s right-wing government formally takes power
Anutin’s right-wing BJT, with its close connections to the military and monarchy, leads the coalition with 192 seats, followed by Pheu Thai’s 74 seats. Another 14 minor parties are also in the present coalition, including those of the old military junta: Palang Pracharath with 5 seats and United Thai Nation (UTN) with two seats. Pheu Thai led the previous government from 2023 to 2025 collapsed after the BJT, supported by the military, pulled out of that ruling coalition. Anutin formed a minority caretaker government from last September until the February election.

I am primarily interested in this because my organization wants to have its own office & offices at some point, right now all we've got is an apartment space used for storage and our own personal homes / apartments. I want something functional yet plausible from an aesthetic point of view.
Panel structures are not really plausible anymore - panels are no longer produced since the privatization of the industry, had it been an option we would've just settled for our own panel bloc.
Feel free to use this as an architecture general, but I'm trying to find some achievable examples of good looking buildings. I am beyond tired of shitty squats that refuse to remodel in fear that they might end up being lost anyway.
Very fond of pyramids in peculiar, as most people know pyramids are the most structurally sound and therefore stable structures that can last eons regardless of all sorts of disasters.
Baroque Brutalism / Galician Baroque
I don't know which board this belongs to. Brutalism or functionalism has been the main architectural choice for most of the Eastern Bloc nations, I've enjoyed it for its utility but also thought of the prospect of elegance and appeal so I did some searching looking for any compromise between it and my other favorite styles - baroque and gothic and it seems like at some point galician baroque had a brutalist turn on its own accord as seen in Santa Clara Convent in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, by Simon Rodriguez (1719).I am primarily interested in this because my organization wants to have its own office & offices at some point, right now all we've got is an apartment space used for storage and our own personal homes / apartments.

Then use a custom SOCKS5 proxy written in Python w/ X25519, Poly1305, ChaCha20 and Kyber for post-quantum cryptographic protection of your network using FTC (Full Tunnel Control) over their connections. Use GNU Icecat as the web browser w/ LibreJS, nftables, kvm/qemu, firejail, pyshark, fail2ban amd gnunet/gnunet-vpn/gnunet CADET (or Jami) w/ Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000 / VX-3000 or a Logitech QuickCam 4000 / QuickCam Express 1999 web cam. Then add a second MilkV Jupiter to serve as the IP over DHCP router that you hook-up to your conventional default ISP router via ethernet serial port/UART, and a MilkV Jupiter w/ custom drivers and formware w/ ath9k PCIe snapped to it for open 802.11 IP over DHCP, using ethernet to the other MilkV Jupiter for all connections. Now just connect to the wifi and you're in! You can use a Wio Lite RISC-V board for the modem connections via GPIO.
I have an idea for a cell phone replacement: MilkV Mars + ThinkPenguin USB cellular modem + LoRa concentrator board: RAK2245/RAK833 (SPI) or SX1301-based Pi HAT for multi‑channel gateway + Antenna: 868/915 MHz omnidirectional antenna (SMA) + enclosure, power (battery + small solar if off‑grid) + XPT2046 touch controller w/ Stylus pen + Gentoo w/ Phosh (Wayland). StarFive GPU drivers (Imagination BXE-4-32) are properly configured in your kernel to get hardware acceleration; otherwise, the UI will be sluggish. Input: The XPT2046 is a resistive touch controller. While reliable and great for stylus use, Phosh is designed primarily for capacitive multi-touch. You may need to calibrate the libinput profiles to handle the pressure-sensitive input correctly. The Stylus Experience: Since you’re using an XPT2046, you’ll enjoy precise input, but you may want to look into evdev calibration tools to ensure the stylus coordinates map correctly to the Wayland compositor. Kernel Support: You will likely be running a downstream StarFive kernel. Porting the LoRa forwarder and ensuring the USB modem's cdc_ether or qmi_wwan drivers play nice with the RISC-V architecture will be your first "Gentoo moment." You will likely need a high-capacity LiPo (10,000mAh+).

Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites). The argument is very "physicalist" and relies on seeing nature as a totality in constant mutation.
HOWEVER, Lukacs seems to completely disregard this. Instead, his dialectics could be best described by the following : Any individual has multiple possibilities to realize his "teleological acts" (conscious acts aimed at satisfaction of desires/needs/sustenance etc). Alienation occurs when he is constrained by an external cause to choose a possibility unsatisfactory compared to others. As such, the dialectic is essentially a movement between the individual who attempts to overcome this alienation, which translates into class war (proletariat see capitalism as irrational for them, but are forced to endure it => conflict with the bourgeoisie).
So, which is it ? Lukacs' dialectics imo can be reconciled with Engels, but it makes the latter's work appear as very superficial.

Local media quoted the national police as saying that the activists were not harmed or intimidated during detention and the two in hospital had taken ill. Two more activists were arrested on Wednesday night, Gen Z 261, one of the groups that emerged from the previously leaderless Gen Z Madagascar movement, said on Thursday. No further information was available about their detention.

Is communism relevant at all?
If you think about it, Marx and many communists and socialists of his times thought that the first communist revolution would occur in one of Europe’s most industrialised places, namely England and Germany where there was a more substantial working class. Instead, the two most successful communist revolutions in history, the ones that produced lasting communist governments as opposed to the short-lived ones of Hungary and Bavaria, occurred in the heavily agrarian countries of Russia and China. Whilst the Russian empire did have some relatively minor industrial sector (albeit it still relied on serfs and their indebted descendants for most of its labor) compared to its European peers, China was still an agrarian society and even with modernisation under the republican post-Qing Kuomintang, China was by and large made up of peasants as opposed to proles. Same goes for Cuba, whose tourism and agriculture forms the backbone of its economy as opposed to industry, and Cuba is nowadays the only country on Earth to have anything approaching a genuine command economy.
Most communist revolutions thereafter heavily relied on Soviet or Chinese support throughout the Cold War, with many communist governments either falling (e.g., South Yemen) or switching to socdem/neolib economics (e.g., Angola) following the cut of Soviet aid.
For the global north, most of its citizenry work in the tertiary and primary sectors such as agriculture and IT as opposed to industry, as is the case in Britain, America, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, etc… Germany and France are the only countries one can think of with an actual manufacturing sector, but those have been on the decline in recent years. That leaves us with South Korea and Japan in terms of having a strong manufacturing sector, and even then the tertiary sector of those countries makes up the biggest share of their economies.
As for the global south, the lack of industrialisation due to both the global north disincentivising them from it as well as national governments being unwilling to risk their resources on a gamble whose dividends will only manifest after generations means that much of the global south is either agrarian, service-oriented, or in the case of India both agrarian and FIRE-oriented.
So the ideology of communism, who tries to appeal to the proletariat, is irrelevant for the majority of both the global north and global south. That’s not all, as communists to this day still haven’t been able to resolve their own contradictions such as the question of the vanguard party. For Marx, a worker’s revolution was inevitable in the industrialised world due to the contradictions of capitalism. And yet not only was that not true as capitalism continued to thrive, but the communist revolutions that Marx theorised happened in largely agrarian Russia and China, in both cases after they became war-torn and following years of civil wars. So how did his successors try to make sense of it?
For Stalin’s Marxist-Leninism, the necessity of a vanguard party was essential for a revolution, while for Mao’s Maoism peasants were prole as well. But none of those account for people’s personal motives nor solve Marx’s deterministic dilemma, nor confront how communist societies as they existed first formed. Can’t forget how the ENTIRE Soviet bloc, Yugoslavia, the Derg, communist Somalia, South Yemen, Venezuela, Grenada, etc… all fell because, at the end of the day, command economies just don’t work. That’s why all the remaining nominally communist states like Laos, Vietnam, China and Cuba have liberalised their economies to major extents that they are at most mixed economies not that much different than the social market economies of Scandinavia and Germany. North Korea only survives due to nukes and Chinese de facto aid, nothing more nothing much. Market capitalism has uplifted more people out of poverty than every socialist experiment in history, hence why all historically marginalised groups in the west like women, ethnic minorities, gays, transes, the disabled, atheists, Jews, etc… have all pivoted towards capitalism eventually. And that’s something few leftists want to acknowledge or willing to do so lest they confront their priors.
Perhaps communists should admit that their ideology was formulated by a bunch of men who made erroneous predictions about the future, and whose ideas are now practically irrelevant for anything other than geopolitics, which is why most leftist discourse focuses on geopolitics over the issues at said ideologues’ homes.
I should also note that historical materialism fails to explain deeply ideological conflicts like the Crusades. While some may appeal to Michael Hudson, two key things stand out:
So, how many are willing to address this beyond theorymaxxing?

- He isn’t a Marxist historian, just a heterodox economic historian
- He only explains the financial motive behind the Vatican’s crusades in Europe, but not the northern nor Near Eastern ones.

Unholy Alliance
In your opinion, in a situation of capitalist crisis, can a short-lived alliance exist between Marxist socialism and national (right-wing) socialism, in a Vanguard Party capable of making a radical change in the country's course, or is this a direct path to fascism and the destruction of the achievements of Leninism?

Why does Trump support Israel so much?
At first I always believed that Trump was not religious and only used religion as a Slopulist tool to get support from the zealots who inhabit the Bible-belt and his Israel support was clearly just AIPAC and the Oil Lobby motivating him, however I wonder if there is something deeper, the Iran thing has actually hurt the markets and Trump seems to be operating out outside of capital for once so I wonder if he is more religious than I thought or if he is a senile philosemite who spent so much time around rich jewish people in New York that he think that Jews are magic money people, So then the more Satanyahu strokes Trump's ego the more he will do whatever he says.

What will happen when Trump invades Cuba?
Unfortunately after choking Cuba for months after starving it for 67 years Trump is probably going to invade Cuba because after getting humiliated by Iran it s clear that this sociopath wants to reestablish his dominance and the American Empires dominance by doing regime change in Cuba, there is no justification for doing this other than the fact that America is a rouge state. It is not looking good for the Cuba because it is obvious that all of the Latin American vassals won't do anything, Putin will probably promise not to do anything in exchange for more of Ukraine, and China will condemn the invasion but China still trades with Israel so they won't do anything. So Cuba is on its own but what will happen because unlike in Venezuela were there was opposition parties and stuff I don't think that the US will be able to work with parts of the government so who knows what they will do, and if there is a state of war the obvious thing to do would be for Cuba do what Iran did and punish the Florida keys but Cuba has no missiles but they have tons of Soviet-era tanks so maybe they will try to retake Guantanamo bay. And technology has advances since the Bay of Pigs invasion so Amerikkka will probably target civilians with drones and since we live in hell all of the Guanos will cheer as Trump blows up their extended family members. But what do you think will happen?

You can identify the exact point at which Marxists start coping and treating their belief system as a religion. From the Preface of The Poverty of Philosophy on Marxists.org:
>The above application of the Ricardian theory that the entire social product belongs to the workers as their product, because they are the sole real producers, leads directly to communism. But, as Marx indeed indicates in the above-quoted passage, it is incorrect in formal economic terms, for it is simply an application of morality to economics. According to the laws of bourgeois economics, the greatest part of the product does not belong to the workers who have produced it. If we now say: that is unjust, that ought not to be so, then that has nothing immediately to do with economics. We are merely saying that this economic fact is in contradiction to our sense of morality. Marx, therefore, never based his communist demands upon this, but upon the inevitable collapse of the capitalist mode of production which is daily taking place before our eyes to an ever growing degree; he says only that surplus value consists of unpaid labour, which is a simple fact. But what in economic terms may be formally incorrect, may all the same be correct from the point of view of world history. If mass moral consciousness declares an economic fact to be unjust, as it did at one time in the case of slavery and statute labour, that is proof that the fact itself has outlived its day, that other economic facts have made their appearance due to which the former has become unbearable and untenable. Therefore, a very true economic content may be concealed behind the formal economic incorrectness. This is not the place to deal more closely with the significance and history of the theory of surplus value.
Marx never would have said this lol, this is plain magical thinking
Would Marx even be a communist if he were alive today?
Is the key flaw of Marxism that all of its predictions are bullshit? Why do communists feel like facts have to conform to their feelings when Marx never said that? Marx was never a moralfag and based his ideas in the fact he believed the collapse of Capitalism was inevitable. 200 years on, and it has not collapsed or led to any sort of successful socialist revolution.You can identify the exact point at which Marxists start coping and treating their belief system as a religion.

Despite the huge gap between the two groups, the predicted percentage may not be enough for Radev to form a one-party government, and he will face the uphill task of looking for partners to govern.

Australian state Labor government defends unconstitutional anti-protest law
For the second time in six months, the Labor government in the state of New South Wales (NSW) has defiantly defended imposing sweeping anti-protest legislation despite courts striking the laws down for violating the Australian Constitution. “The NSW government absolutely stands by the decision to introduce this legislation,” Premier Chris Minns declared on Thursday. “We believe it was necessary and important for Sydney at the time.”

>>The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is currently nursing a seven-figure debt, cutting half a million dollars from its own staff while chasing the electoral dragon. The entire organization spent just $10,783 on federal elections in 2024, a pittance that gets swallowed whole by a single real estate developer’s check. They dump millions into campaigns (just look at the $28,000 a single mayoral candidate paid his local DSA chapter for "texting"), yet can’t scrape together the funds to keep a single free clinic running. This is the political economy of the professional left, burn cash on consultants, beg for donations to pay off debt, and call it "building power."
>>Meanwhile, the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) isn’t even in the same league. Their idea of a "revolutionary" budget is a phone bank asking for $101 donations to "defeat the extreme-right," with zero transparent accounting of how those dollars translate into actual working-class power. For all their talk of centralism, they’ve been reduced to a glorified NGO, fundraising for Cuban pacemakers instead of organizing the oppressed in their own backyard.
Where does all this money go? It certainly doesn’t go to the people. DSA pours its resources into "inside the system" electoralism, running candidates on the Democratic Party line and calling it a "conquest of ballots". They spend fortunes on primary campaigns, Jamaal Bowman’s loss was the most expensive primary in U.S. history, while anarchists and real leftists open free clinics in dingy squats, scraping by on shoestring budgets because they actually live with the people they claim to serve.
This is the hypocrisy of the white‑collar left. They are careerists, middle managers, and petty‑bourgeois intellectuals who have never missed a meal. Their politics are a hobby, not a survival strategy. They call the lumpen "counter‑revolutionary" and the blue‑collar worker "crude," then retreat to their academic castles to write another resolution about "building dual power." Meanwhile, anarchists, the ones with actual class composition rooted in the working class and the dispossessed are the ones running the real mutual aid networks, organizing prison strikes, and keeping the lights on in the community spaces that these NGO‑leftists refuse to fund.
Let’s be clear, Every dollar the DSA and CPUSA raise for political campaigns is a dollar stolen from direct working‑class power. That money could have opened a dozen free clinics, sustained a network of squats, or built the infrastructure for a real working class power. Instead, it funds the careers of the very bureaucrats who will sell us out the moment the state offers them a seat at the table.
This is why anarchists are more revolutionary by nature, they don’t have a stake in the system. They are the dropouts, the blue‑collar workers, the lumpen who have nothing to lose but their chains. The Marxist‑Leninists, by contrast, are white‑collar bureaucrats who approach politics as a career path. They are legitimately inside the system, enjoying its partial benefits, and terrified of losing them. They will never smash the state because they are already living off its crumbs.
Study anarchism. Study Mao. Stop being indirect, lazy, careerist scum. Build the clinics. Organize the prisons. Burn the electoral bridge. We need to stop asking for permission and start taking what’s ours. Until then, let the debt‑ridden NGO‑leftists drown in their own paperwork. We have real work to do. People need to stop treating anarchists as mockery of the left, when indeed their political models and organizations seem to directly benefit the working-class way more than any Marxist party. I speak from experience here; when anarchist collectives form and exist for a long time, they often have a purpose and stick to that purpose. Example, go look into the Anarchist Black Cross. Their model is better for the west, and if Marxists adopt said models, the bourgeiose would lose their marbles. Trust me.

If the rate of profit hits zero what will happen? Won’t it just boil down to the richest creating their own segregated societies were human level AI robots produce whatever their rich owners need, why everyone else would continue to live in a new cycle of capitalism that is run by everyone who doesn’t own high-end tech to become a master of an army of robot slaves as well?

everyone's gonna hate this take but what if we just keep coming up with new exploitative modes of production after capitalism is over and never actually abolish exploitation itself.
every mode of production so far was abolished by a new middle strata
slavery (masters vs slaves): abolished by feudal lords, not masters or slaves
serfdom (lords vs serfs): abolished by bourgeoisie, not lords or serfs
capitalism (bourgeoisie vs proletariat): i predict will be abolished by party bureaucrats, not by bourgeoisie or proletarians
imperialism (1st world vs 3rd world): similarly I think the solution will come from the 2nd world

Is it in your material interests to
A: burn the grain rather than see it redistributed, "If I can't have 100% of it, nobody gets any% of it" and then flee the country before they can execute you.
or
B: Let the government distribute the grain and leave you with subsistence, and hope you survive.
To me, the obvious choice is B, but many here might say that B would be the kulak going against his own class interests, and therefore not predictable by Marxist theory.
You are kulak. What do?
You are a wealthy peasant, called a kulak, who owns many hectares of land. You have 10,000 bushels of grain as a harvest. The soviet government is going to take your 10,000 bushels of grain and redistribute them to the 1000 people in your countywide region (called rayon in Russia). You are one of these people, so you will get 10 bushels for subsistence if it is redistributed. The government plans to eventually collectivize your farm after the civil war.Is it in your material interests to

SOUTH AFRICAN opposition party leader Julius Malema was sentenced to five years in prison today, after he was convicted of breaking firearm laws by firing a rifle at a political rally in 2018. He was released pending his appeal, which will be heard at a later date. If the verdict and sentence are upheld, Mr Malema, who leads the left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters party, will be disqualified as a lawmaker.

Somalia reports hit on al-Shabab with ‘international support’
The Somali army also “seized weapons and military equipment, including BKM machine guns, RPGs and AK-47 rifles, as well as landmines that the terrorists had intended to use against civilians”, the statement read. The Defence Ministry said operations are ongoing to “pursue the remaining Al-Shabaab elements, in order to ensure security, stability and the safety of civilians living in Somalia”.

Trump says Israel agrees to 10-day Lebanon ceasefire
On Thursday morning, as Israeli media reported that a call between Aoun and Netanyahu was imminent, Israel bombed the Qasmiyeh bridge, severing the last link between southern Lebanon and the rest of the country. “Enemy aircraft carried out two consecutive strikes on the Qasmiyeh bridge, the last bridge between the Sour and Saida regions, completely destroying it,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported.

Sectarian fears increase as a Beirut area says no to displacement centre
A number of politicians and protesters were opposed to setting up the centre, citing a number of reasons, including increased traffic to the area near Beirut’s port and health concerns. But there were also sectarian motivations with some of Karantina’s Christian population leading objections to housing the displaced, who are predominantly Shia Muslims, citing demographic concerns and using sectarian slogans reminiscent of language used during the 1975-1990 Lebanese Civil War.

Labour facing its ‘worst local election ever’
The Greens and hard-right Reform are set to be the beneficiaries in England, with nationalist parties winning in Scotland and Wales. If the results on May 7 bear out these predictions it will revive pressure on Labour MPs to act to end Sir Keir Starmer’s disastrous leadership of their party and the government.

Myanmar revellers cautiously return to Thingyan festivities after years of boycott
This year’s festivities – held from Monday to Thursday (Apr 13 to 16) and followed by the Myanmar New Year on Friday – have taken place against the backdrop of ongoing armed conflict and just over a year after a devastating earthquake killed around 3,800 people. For many, Thingyan has offered a rare chance to experience a sense of normalcy – even if only briefly – after years of crisis.

NSW’s highest court strikes down anti-protest law introduced in wake of Bondi beach terror attack
The court of appeal handed down its findings on Thursday after three activist groups – the Blak Caucus, the Palestine Action Group and Jews Against the Occupation ’48 – filed a constitutional challenge in early January against the legislation. The law, known as the public assembly restriction declaration or Pard, was passed in the wake of the Bondi beach terror attack in which 15 people were killed. It meant protesters could not use the form 1 system – a notice of intention to the police to hold a public assembly - in areas designated by police for up to three months after a terrorist attack, effectively meaning protesters could not march without the risk of arrest.

Sectarian fears increase as a Beirut area says no to displacement centre
A number of politicians and protesters were opposed to setting up the centre, citing a number of reasons, including increased traffic to the area near Beirut’s port and health concerns. But there were also sectarian motivations with some of Karantina’s Christian population leading objections to housing the displaced, who are predominantly Shia Muslims, citing demographic concerns and using sectarian slogans reminiscent of language used during the 1975-1990 Lebanese Civil War.

No, the charges were dropped because by the very nature of the bourgeois court systems, there's nothing worth doing. He's too public a figure now, and it would be a shit show the entire time and completely unravel the arbitrary and selective enforcement of contradictory laws over 300 years of documentation of court interpretation. Whatever judge would touch it, would easily be countered by another judge, and all the same it would be impossible to wrangle a jury that's cooperative in just giving him the plain guilty verdict they'd so want. Out of the four charges, the only ones that have stuck are the stalking ones against Brian Thompson and that's nothing. That's baby shit misdemeanors. I've been accused of stalking before.
You won't hear about his civil case and even than that might not even happen. If anything at all happens to Luigi it'll be a harmless fine. The lesson here is if you go to kill someone, make sure the whole world is watching. Which is why the cointelpro fags tell you "fedposting". They want you scared, when really they're the ones who are scared. Their entire system relies on your cooperation and why would you cooperate when you do not benefit? That's retarded.
Deny the allegations and facts not conducive to your wants
Defend the terrorists and other nay doers that upset others
Depose everyone ever whose ever worked a job. Fuck subservient wagies.
Mama Luigi will not be going to trial and the bourgeois media isn't saying it outloud
It's because of their own system this is the case too. It helps that Luigi was an attractive man from a privileged background, but he never even went to trial for that to matter. He isn't some business tycoon too dangerous to lose, he didn't hire the best lawyers, femcels aren't strapping bombs to themselves in protest for Chad although that'd be hilarious.No, the charges were dropped because by the very nature of the bourgeois court systems, there's nothing worth doing.

If things heat up with all these acts of sabotage and violence occurring in the last week, do not be swept away by emotion. Do not join with those who talk of violence but have no deep roots in the working class. Do not get pushed into death and jail by Maoists and Anarchists. Stay disciplined. Stay organized. The real work is patient, collective, and legal. Anything else is a trap. Resist the urge to be heroic. The revolution will not be won by fire, terror and bullets. It will be won by the slow, unglamorous building of dual power.
Don't let the adventurists lead you into ruin. Keep your head down. Trust the party. Trust the process. Thank you!
Comrades, a sober reminder in these heated times.
We've all seen the rhetoric. Decentralized madness occurring. Calls to "seize the moment," to escalate tactics, to join with unknown provocateurs who promise militancy. But let's be clear, revolution is not sabotage, not a spontaneous outburst. History teaches us that adventurism, detached from mass conditions, serves only the state. It isolates the vanguard, burns our networks energies, and gives the bourgeoisie the pretext for crackdowns.If things heat up with all these acts of sabotage and violence occurring in the last week, do not be swept away by emotion.

Although the workers managed to sustain their protests for several weeks, the Panamanian justice system initiated a series of legal proceedings against SUNTRACS leaders, forcing its top leader to flee the country to avoid possible arrest, as well as the prosecution of several others. The union has denounced these trials as “lawfare” aimed at persecuting militant workers.

The fake conflict is "Luddites" vs. "Malthusians"
i.e. "people who think tech bad and wasteful" versus "people who think people are bad and wasteful"
I want everyone to notice how good the bourgeoisie are at getting us to reframe their destruction, waste, planned obsolescence, and artificial scarcity as a conflict between Luddites and Malthusians.
The capitalist want us to argue over whether a human being or a piece of technology is more wasteful, but technology exists to be used as a tool by human beings to abridge labor processes. Everywhere you see technology being used to DESTROY rather than CREATE (i.e. in war, in wasteful data centers, in perfectly good food getting throw in locked dumpsters, etc.) the problem is not the existence of the technology itself but the MODE OF PRODUCTION

about the situation in Hungary, obviously they voted in a stooge, there is no doubt about that, it's a fate shared by most countries in the periphery. however, this time around it seems that it is not a CIA stooge? rather someone blessed by Western European capital?
I've seen that this new PM is a strong proponent of the Euro (it probably benefits WE MNCs when particular countries no longer can engage in currency devaluations), he's also, of course, in favour of militarism, procurement and stocking up of armaments, and condemns "Russian imperialism" (whatever that means, he fails to notice that it's primarily western countries that support imperialistic attitudes, not Russia). also notice how all western newspapers had propped him up prior to the election (for example: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/25/the-time-is-here-the-ex-government-insider-shaking-up-hungarian-politics), they are all bought but still they wouldn't be able to do that if he were labeled the enemy of moneyed interests

We have arguably reset back to a time right around the time of marx's life or right after his death. The 1990s free market triumphalism ended in 2008 but the new era also does not resemble the cold war era. We are back in an era of great powers, but the social democratic compromise has mostly broken down. Massive levels of financialization. Workers have no parties for themselves, and the labor movement is weak but burgeoning.
We need to go back to the mass socialist parties before the 1914 split, SPD, SPA, PSOE etc. Though these parties have mostly degenerated into capitalist parties that don't even claim marxism anymore or just dont exist like the SPA, new attempts are currently starting at building new mass marxist parties, DSA in america, die linke in germany etc.
Attempts at trying to replicate a highly disciplined leninist vanguard have just repeatedly resulted hundreds of tiny sects. that stay irrelevant and go nowhere. We need to retrace our steps back to the late 19th century, and stop trying to create yet another vanguard book club with 5 people

Working Class Power
If the working class doesn’t take power, it will have to live under barbarism. It’s a choice between workers’ power—which is to say a global socialist republic emerging from each nation of the earth installing their own dictatorship of the proletariat—or a third world war that could go nuclear. We cannot live under capitalism any longer and there is no hope for humanity under the decay of the American empire. We need the workers to take power, installing a workers’ government; otherwise, we are faced with death, fascism, ecological collapse, militarism, war, colonialism, and a farcical system where people are exploited in the names of profit. Join a socialist party and help build the real revolutionary movement. For socialism! Ad astra!

Several waves of departures from the US facility occurred on Saturday from the airport, according to another Iraqi security source, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. "Eight separate attacks, carried out until dawn with rockets and drones, targeted the US centre," the senior security official told AFP, adding that "some rockets landed near the base".

Israeli forces number Palestinian women’s hands during Jenin invasion
The women, along with nearly 40,000 Palestinians, have been forcibly expelled by Israeli forces from Jenin and other camps in the northern West Bank following a military offensive that began in January 2025. The invasion has left much of the camps in ruins, while large areas remain inaccessible, with troops permanently stationed there. The 120 women were allowed into the camp for less than two hours, much of which was spent undergoing searches and waiting under heavy military surveillance, while following predetermined routes.

Peru’s Sanchez to face Fujimori in runoff as rival signals protests over fraud
The count in Peru's presidential election produced a dramatic reversal on Wednesday. With 91% of ballots processed by the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE), leftist Roberto Sánchez (Juntos por el Perú) surged from sixth to second place, displacing ultraconservative Rafael López Aliaga (Renovación Popular) and positioning himself for the June 7 runoff against Keiko Fujimori (Fuerza Popular), who holds first place with 16.99% of the vote.

Rattled by Trump, US allies eye Japan’s biggest arms opening since WW2
Despite largely isolating itself from global arms markets since World War II, Japan spends enough on its own military – US$60 billion (S$76 billion) in 2026 – to sustain a sizeable defence industry capable of manufacturing advanced systems such as submarines and fighter jets. Among the potential new customers are the Polish military and Philippine navy, which are undergoing modernisation amid regional security challenges, according to Reuters interviews with Japanese officials and foreign diplomats in Tokyo.

India's Uttar Pradesh state raises workers' wages amid protests over pay
Around 40,000 workers were part of the Noida protest, according to the Gautam Buddh Nagar police, which has lodged seven criminal cases related to the demonstrations. More than 300 people have been arrested, a police spokesperson told Reuters. The wage hike ordered this week will be applicable retrospectively from April 1, and will increase the pay of unskilled workers in Noida to roughly $147 per month from the current monthly pay of about $121, government sources said.

2,000 urban poor residents set up camp at DSWD national office
According to Kadamay, the DSWD has been inutile and has no clear response to the needs of urban poor communities affected by the successive typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong. The three typhoons hit the country from July 16 to 24, 2025—nearly a year ago. “Instead of taking action, the agency led on the victims in the repressive and deliberately sluggish bureaucracy,” the group said. The agency allegedly passed on to the urban poor the technical tasks such as forming the masterlist, which should’ve been the government’s responsibility.

Israeli forces number Palestinian women’s hands during Jenin invasion
The women, along with nearly 40,000 Palestinians, have been forcibly expelled by Israeli forces from Jenin and other camps in the northern West Bank following a military offensive that began in January 2025. The invasion has left much of the camps in ruins, while large areas remain inaccessible, with troops permanently stationed there. The 120 women were allowed into the camp for less than two hours, much of which was spent undergoing searches and waiting under heavy military surveillance, while following predetermined routes.

China’s long-standing dominance throughout history can be attributed to a combination of geographical, political, cultural, and natural resource factors. Geographically, China benefited from fertile river valleys like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, which supported dense populations and large-scale agriculture, while natural defenses such as the Himalayas and Gobi Desert provided protection from external threats. Politically, China was able to establish a strong centralized government, particularly during dynasties like the Han, Tang, and Song, with a meritocratic bureaucracy that ensured efficient governance. Culturally, a deep sense of unity and continuity, reinforced by Confucian values, promoted social stability, while China’s intellectual and technological innovations such as papermaking, printing, and gunpowder kept it at the forefront of global advancements. Additionally, the abundance of resources, including fertile land for agriculture and valuable trade goods like silk fueled economic strength and sustained large urban populations. Together, these factors created a self-reinforcing cycle of prosperity, political unity, and cultural cohesion, allowing China to maintain its position as a dominant global power for centuries.
The only thing that makes this return to historical norm different is the socialism and high tech. It's the dialectical spiral, you see.
China's Rise Is a RETVRN to tradition
China’s current rise can be understood as a return to the historical norm rather than an anomaly: for much of recorded history, China was among the world’s most advanced and powerful civilizations, often the largest economy and a global center of technology (printing, gunpowder, ceramic, the compass), governance, and culture. During eras such as the Han Dynasty, China developed sophisticated state institutions, large-scale agriculture, and expansive trade networks; in the Tang Dynasty, it stood as a cosmopolitan hub of culture, commerce, and innovation linked to Eurasian trade routes; and under the Song Dynasty, it achieved extraordinary economic and technological sophistication, with some estimates placing it as the world’s largest economy due to advances like paper money, urbanization, and industrial-scale production. Even into the early modern period, China remained a dominant civilizational center with a sizable percentage of global GDP as late as the 18th century, until finally succumbing to the disruptions of the Opium Wars in the 19th century and the weakening of the Qing Dynasty during the Taiping Rebellion. In this long historical arc, China’s current resurgence under the centralized leadership of the Communist Party can be seen as a return to its historical position of civilizational centrality, combining state-directed industrial strategy and vast manufacturing capacity, while the much younger and less stable settler-colonial entity fancying itself the United States of America faces growing internal polarization policy inconsistencies and self-defeating blunders that make it a pariah rogue state despised even by its allies. From this perspective, the shifting global balance of power represents not an exceptional transformation, but a reemergence of a long-standing historical pattern in which China occupies a central role in global economic and civilizational hierarchy.China’s long-standing dominance throughout history can be attributed to a combination of geographical, political, cultural, and natural resource factors.

What if the people need to come together to be reached, and what if they get what they need for their liberation, and what they are missing in their lives under capitalism such as community aid and belonging, in a church?
Consider the conditions under which Christianity arose. The older religions including Greco-Roman pantheon worship had declined. They had by no means lost their popularity completely but the awe of the primal forces of nature and the fatalistic philosophical personification and deification of aspects of human behavior no longer spoke as effectively to the increasingly urban masses where the bronze age conditions that inspired the religion in the first place were increasingly remote and abstract. Major rituals and festival were increasingly done by rote or performatively by elites for their political careers, or for the celebrations more than the meaning beneath them. Christianity filled that void, the thought of taking on the sins and failures and brutality of humanity from the top down and dying to absolve the human soul, the thought of an all encompassing and compassionate architecture to the universe and their place in it gave people more awe than witnessing a lightning storm or an earthquake.
We all know how things went since, there's more to criticize about Christianity's history than we have time to go over. But now we find ourselves once again in similar conditions for something new. Religious membership is declining in the west, the remaining membership are either increasingly secularized and bourgeois or increasingly hyper-reactionary or lumpen. These institutions are not able to speak to the problems of the day or any solution for them on a theological or material basis. If the old church was the theological logic of feudalism to come in the shadow of rome, if protestantism was the theological logic of capitalism to come in the shadow of feudalism, then something new whether christian or something distinct can be the theological logic of what is to come after capitalism and more people feel that need every day even if they don't understand it.
I don't expect we will form a new religion here of course, but we can recognize the void that exists in people's lives currently, the need to fill that void that all humans have, and anticipate that it will be filled by something eventually. There have been many attempts, experiments, to forge an alternative to the status quo on religious grounds in the form of various cults, movements and intentional communities through the ages. We can learn from them when framing the theological vision and logic of what comes next. Many of us are not religious at all to say the least, and producing a new religious paradigm is likely not something that is done intentionally from a place of insincerity. Perhaps we may yet inspire the vision of future figures and movements as they form organically, and find in them the allies we need. It may be that an existing institution will transform into the vessel of the new message that will de-atomize and educate the scattered masses in ways conventional organizing struggles to do, to make them see beyond their PMC jobs and treats or across culture war bullshit. I don't want to exaggerate the merits of the Catholic Church or Pope Leo but as the conflict between him and the Trump administration increases, as Latin America is menaced and the Vatican is told by the Pentagon to "pick a side", there is a degree of potential to be found there even if it's an emerging leftward fringe of where he may ultimately allow the Church to be led.
Liberation Theology: The Secret Sauce the Western Left is Missing?
Within the West the left has a common circular conversation: We need to organize, we need a movement independent of liberal political parties, we need independent working class power. The common response: there's no sufficient labor movement, people are too atomized, they no longer live and work in proximity in ways that makes them easily reachable, existing platforms prevent dissemination of our message, etc.What if the people need to come together to be reached, and what if they get what they need for their liberation, and what they are missing in their lives under capitalism such as community aid and belonging, in a church?

These institutions are not able to speak to the problems of the day or any solution for them on a theological or material basis. If the old church was the theological logic of feudalism to come in the shadow of rome, if protestantism was the theological logic of capitalism to come in the shadow of feudalism, then something new whether christian or something distinct can be the theological logic of what is to come after capitalism and more people feel that need every day even if they don't understand it.
I don't expect we will form a new religion here of course, but we can recognize the void that exists in people's lives currently, the need to fill that void that all humans have, and anticipate that it will be filled by something eventually. There have been many attempts, experiments, to forge an alternative to the status quo on religious grounds in the form of various cults, movements and intentional communities through the ages. We can learn from them when framing the theological vision and logic of what comes next. Many of us are not religious at all to say the least, and producing a new religious paradigm is likely not something that is done intentionally from a place of insincerity. Perhaps we may yet inspire the vision of future figures and movements as they form organically, and find in them the allies we need. It may be that an existing institution will transform into the vessel of the new message that will de-atomize and educate the scattered masses in ways conventional organizing struggles to do, to make them see beyond their PMC jobs and treats or across culture war bullshit. I don't want to exaggerate the merits of the Catholic Church or Pope Leo but as the conflict between him and the Trump administration increases, as Latin America is menaced and the Vatican is told by the Pentagon to "pick a side", there is a degree of potential to be found there even if it's an emerging leftward fringe of where he may ultimately allow the Church to be led.

Is there something positive about the Zionist entity from a historical point of view? I mean there are a lot of episodes in history where one could could call evil (the mongols, Nazism etc') but there were still some positive things about these events. However this could not be said for the Zionist entity. It's completely parasitic and contributed nothing to mankind (inb4 instant messaging and other Israeli startup "inventions").
Has there something like this in history?

All this horror will end when the Ummah unites once again, destroy Israel, build nukes and point them at every single judeochristian european and american capital
The Ottoman Empire was the last line of defense of the global south
The day they showed weakness and failed to defend their Muslim brothers it was the day judeochristian whites began with a series of oppressions and atrocities such as the genocide of circassians, the bosnian genocide, the genocide of balkan muslims, zionism (arab genocide), the war on """"terror"""" by judeochristians responsible for the holocaust of 10 million Muslims and the displacement of 38 millions, etc and etc…All this horror will end when the Ummah unites once again, destroy Israel, build nukes and point them at every single judeochristian european and american capital

The problem with you marxists is that you require people to spend their lives reading and interpreting the works and life of Marx (and its followers).
I don't like Marx, that's enough for me to not be interested in anything that comes from him.
Is that so hard to understand?
I am a leftist, by the way.
I would prefer spend my life reading the works of John Stuart Mill rather than Karl Marx.

What you dismiss as "identity politics", as some minor irrelevant distraction from the revolution-to-be, is in fact the front lines of the very real and current Revolution. The Revolution is not some future external event like the Christian rapture, it is happening right now and has always been happening since the beginning of history. The Revolution takes place in the mind - the protests, the riots, the dissenting literature, all of those things are just outward expressions of it. And the Revolution has been slowly but surely succeeding, the Empire's grip gradually weakening day by day as the People gain more knowledge, learning things that cannot be unlearned, speaking truths that cannot be unspoken. Because real Truth is eternal and absolute, it cannot be corrupted and it stands on its own whereas lies are ephemeral and require continuous maintenance to sustain and eventually crumble under their own weight. Only a few decades ago, things like neurodivergence and homosexuality were treated as sicknesses to be eradicated and those who were "afflicted" with these so-called diseases were outcast from society and their voices were never heard and they themselves were conditioned to believe that they were worthless freaks of nature with no place in the world who must either conform or die. People with brown skin were conditioned to believe that they were subhuman savages biologically incapable of full-fledged humanity, that their place in the world was to be servile beasts of burden for the superior white race. Women were conditioned to believe that their sole purpose in life was to be brood mares for men. Trans/non-binary/intersex people were conditioned to believe that they were mentally deranged and their innermost beliefs about themselves were an elaborate self-induced hallucination. The pseudoscience that was invented to reinforce these ideas ultimately began to crumble, as lies always do, when true science emerged that refuted them and the only response that the Empire could muster was to deny the existence of reality entirely and retreat even further into solipsism. Someone is losing ground here.
You may find it difficult to empathize with these people and their struggles because it is someone else's ox being gored and not yours, but you need to remember that you are no different from they are, not really. They are human beings and you are a human being and all human lives are inexorably connected just like any other species of animal, regardless of what the Empire would have you believe. An attack on one human's autonomy is an attack on autonomy itself. And when people call attention to the possibility that you yourself may in fact be speaking from a position of privilege when you dismiss other people's struggles and concerns and you perceive it as an attack on your own identity, consider the possibility that perhaps your reaction might not be a logical reaction but a defensive kneejerk reaction, consider the possibility that your mind, like every mind, has been touched and manipulated to some extent by the Empire and that perhaps these people are not trying to attack you but trying to help you, trying to expand your intelligence, perhaps they don't see you as the enemy but as potential allies and they want you and need you on their side.
On "identity politics"
The counter-culture revolution did not end, it simply turned inward. After the 1970s it became clear that the Empire was far too vast and powerful to destroy through use of external force, so the counter-culture retreated and reformulated their strategy - instead of trying to liberate the world, they would liberate their own minds. Knowledge would be their weaponry, knowledge about the world but more importantly knowledge about themselves. Every lie they were programmed to believe about who they were and what their lives meant would be called into question, analyzed, deconstructed, traced back to its origins, and irrevocably refuted with undeniable logic and empirical evidence. When the Empire became aware of what they were doing it correctly interpreted this on an attack on its very foundations and predictably retaliated with its conventional tactics of violence and disinformation, thus began the Culture War that we now find ourselves in. But thus far the counterattack has been wild and flailing and largely ineffective, failing to identify a strategic target, the so-called "Woke Mind Virus" seeming to originate from everywhere at once with no central source. The Empire's greatest weakness is its inhumanity, its inability to see inside of the human mind and understand human psychology; the Empire is solipsistic and behaviorist, it does not recognize the human spirit, it only sees people as subordinate machines that must be conditioned to behave and obey. Nurse Ratched can stop the patients in the ward from watching the baseball game, but she cannot stop them from pretending to watch it and cheering and roaring in delight at a blank television screen.What you dismiss as "identity politics", as some minor irrelevant distraction from the revolution-to-be, is in fact the front lines of the very real and current Revolution. The Revolution is not some future external event like the Christian rapture, it is happening right now and has always been happening since the beginning of history.

Nothing more to elaborate, watch the video if you're looking for a starting point.
Deleuze & Guattari are certainly the more interesting of the pedophile bunch to sign the french petition. They brought some useful concepts. Everyone will remember them as the french pedophiles until the end of time now that they did that and only pseuds in their 20s will revere them.
You can read them through Nick Land instead of reading from D&G to Land, its like faster that way, you don't need to understand any of it, its not analysis its creating concepts, that's what Deleuze called philosophy - the discipline of creating concepts / ideas (sic).
Watch the word-plays, language games, read Wittgenstein, same shit as "order-words". Watch it.
Theologicians still can't handle this shit

French lawmakers set to push bill criminalising speech on Israel
Under Article 1, individuals could face up to five years in prison and heavy fines for speech interpreted as justifying or reframing acts labelled as terrorism. That could include describing such acts as “resistance” or providing context deemed insufficiently condemnatory. France’s former anti-terrorism judge Marc Trevidic issued a stark warning about the implications. "I'd never seen anything like it, the notion of implicit incitement to terrorism. Do you realise what that means? Becoming a censor of other people's thoughts, trying to guess what a person really meant."

At least 100 dead in Nigeria after air force ‘misfire’ on market, sources say
Such misfires are common in Nigeria, where the military often conducts air raids to battle armed groups who control vast forest enclaves. At least 500 civilians have died since 2017 in such misfires, according to an AP tally of reported deaths. Security analysts point to loopholes in intelligence gathering as well as insufficient coordination between ground troops, air assets and stakeholders.

Sudan’s ERC committee: ‘Residual Islamic Movement funds abroad perpetuate war’
Sudan’s Committee for Removing Empowerment and Dismantling the June 30 1989 Regime (ERC)* has announced a renewed focus on targeting financial networks abroad, aiming to dry up sources of funding and pursue assets linked to the Islamic Movement outside the country. The committee also revealed that it is undertaking a series of updates and broad structural changes to better organise its work in line with its objectives for the next phase.

France and the UK have the ability to be independent since they have nukes but they choose not to be for some reason.

If there exists class conflict between proletarians and bourgeoisie and historically proletarians have established their supremacy in certain countries and certain time periods like the dictatorship of the proletariat under Stalin in USSR for example was there ever a place where Lumpenproletariat has won the class struggle and established themselves as the ruling class?
Would it even be possible for Lumpenproletariat to seize the power and make their class interest the dominant one? How would such system look like and function?
Is there any political party at this moment advocating for the interest of lumpenproletariat?
Who even constitutes XXI century Lumpenproletariat?

-Middle class intellectuals must create a party of dedicated cadres who will then approach the workers by committing class suicide.
-Some of these workers will be recruited as ideologically committed cadres who will then unionize their workplace, creating unions separated from the core organization
-There must be discipline and accountability
-Once there, we will somehow figure out how to solve the questions on how to organize workers in the face of globalization, capital flight, and so on
There’s no excuse at this point. Chibber has offered a viable strategy, the only problem is finding cadres willing to commit class suicide
The Chibber Strategy
So according to Vivek Chibber what communists need to do is the following:-Middle class intellectuals must create a party of dedicated cadres who will then approach the workers by committing class suicide.
-Some of these workers will be recruited as ideologically committed cadres who will then unionize their workplace, creating unions separated from the core organization
-There must be discipline and accountability
-Once there, we will somehow figure out how to solve the questions on how to organize workers in the face of globalization, capital flight, and so on
- Must engage in social reforms to gain ground and then weaken the enemy using their own tools
There’s no excuse at this point. Chibber has offered a viable strategy, the only problem is finding cadres willing to commit class suicide

It is the status quo of the majority of the world population being turned retarded-submissive by abstract religiosity and contempt with its decay. To synthesize decay and growth or present decay as growth in an attempt to paint oneself a "socialist" or "progressive force" is to lie for closure.
As Il Duche himself wrote before opportunistically clinging to the catholic church in Italy for politician gains - God Does Not Exist, so we affirm his essay. Luddic left liberalism and leftism as the bourgeois liberalism it will always be - is always reactionary and the road of religiosity and negation. Reactionism will always be against the notion of revolutions, a reactionary revolution or a conservative revolution can be nothing less than Adolf Hitler's rise.
Call for the liquidation of religiosity and not its synthesis and integration within the movement against the present state of things, it is a part of the present state that has plagued civilization since all previous modes of production and continuing in liberal "secular" capitalism. Deny entryists. A "religious socialist" is either a confused socialist in need of psychiatric help or a religious reactionary posing as socialist.
A religious "socialist" is only a re-branding in name of the same feudal bullshit that has stagnated and appropriated human development for itself. To quote Marx himself:
>Nothing is easier than to give Christian asceticism a Socialist tinge. Has not Christianity declaimed against private property, against marriage, against the State? Has it not preached in the place of these,charity and poverty, celibacy and mortification of the flesh, monastic life and Mother Church? Christian Socialism is but the holy water with which the priest consecrates the heart-burnings of the aristocrat.
You have to be utterly retarded and a desperate popular-frontist, class collaborationist retarded jewish nigger to legitimize this, to legitimize it means that you are illegitimate yourself, you are a liberal lumpen or bourgeois collaborating with the reactionary forces. Fuck your liberal-tion theology. All of you go from cradle to grave with the end of this mode of production and remain in soil.
On contradictory "synthesis"
The relation between religious retards and their disillusionment with the world coming to bring their baggage while demanding change from the real movement that has already done its hundreds of years' worth of material analysis to explain the phenomena occurring by atheist anti-theist might, to come and label onself as "christian, muslim, jewish, pagan socialist-esque" or even worse an "anarchist" clinging to the niche of creative writings, seeking legitimacy and to be legitimized of ones' metaphysical supersititous retardation gives no room for development of the real movement, it stagnates it as a retrograde aesthetic tending towards reactionary stillness in life - a status quo of demanding to preserve feudal and pre-feudal mythos when the movement is trying to bring workers to view reality for what it really is, all conceptions of GOD, GODS, SPIRITS, DEITIES and such being man-made as words and remaining solely as conceptions with addendum of personal experiences always unexplained as "feelings" - trying to mitigate research and development by situations presented in such a way that they inherently deny rationale.It is the status quo of the majority of the world population being turned retarded-submissive by abstract religiosity and contempt with its decay. To synthesize decay and growth or present decay as growth in an attempt to paint oneself a "socialist" or "progressive force" is to lie for closure.

How should leftists deal with insular communities after the revolution??
Should they be allowed to keep existing or should we dismantle them and force them into mainstream society?
I'm talking about people like Orthodox Jews, the Amish, Buddhists in monestaries and fundamentalist Muslims like the people you see in ghettos in the UK and France.

Turkish independent union leader Başaran Aksu arrested
Aksu was arrested on charges of “spreading misleading information” and “inciting the public to hatred and enmity.” The political character and arbitrariness of the arrest is underscored by the claim that Aksu’s union activities, which meant he was not permanently residing at his registered address, gave rise to his “escape risk.”

Mali backs Morocco’s plan for disputed Western Sahara, ending support for the Sahrawi Republic
The Malian transitional government said Friday it was withdrawing its recognition of the pro-independence Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic as part of its backing for the Moroccan plan, which has growing support from African allies, the Trump administration in the U.S. and most European Union members. … The resolution referred to Morocco’s plan as a basis for negotiation. As with similar resolutions in previous years, the text made no mention of a referendum on self-determination that includes independence as an option, which is the solution long favored by the pro-independence Polisario Front and its allies, including Algeria, Russia, and China.

Human Rights Groups Denounce Trump Plans to Send Cubans Fleeing Impacts of Blockade to Guantánamo
Asked by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) about what would be done if this caused a mass influx of Cuban refugees to the US, Donovan said they had an executive order that would involve coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security to handle a “mass migration event.” Donovan said it would include using the US military base at Guantánamo Bay, “where we would set up a camp to deal with those migrants or any overflow from any situation in Cuba itself.”

Venezuelan National Assembly Approves Pro-Business Mining Law
Under the law, joint ventures, private corporations, and small-scale artisanal mining groups are allowed to receive concessions that can last up to 30 years and be renewed for two additional 10-year periods. Furthermore, private entities can bring disputes to international arbitration bodies. … Former President Hugo Chávez sought to end foreign mining concessions in the 2000s, instead pushing for a leading state role and to interlink extraction activities to basic industries in sectors such as steel and aluminum.

The sources told MEE that the UAE, which continues to deny supporting the RSF despite mounting evidence, was crucial to Ethiopia’s involvement in the Sudan war, which broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and RSF in April 2023 and has led to the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, with hundreds of thousands killed and over 11 million people displaced from their homes.

Cosatu slams increase in allocation for official vehicles to R1.1 mln
This callous decision by Treasury highlights a budget priority and morality crisis affecting the state, with a four billion rand allocated to provide bodyguards for politicians but only three billion can be found for small business development.

Civilians under fire by gangs in Gaza: What happened in Maghazi?
The Gaza Centre for Human Rights claims that Israel is increasingly supporting these groups to carry out operations within densely populated camps and neighbourhoods. It said armed drones provided direct support on Monday, firing heavily and randomly into alleys in the camp to aid the armed men’s withdrawal. The centre added that it has documented previous violence by these groups, including looting of aid convoys, kidnappings, torture and killings, with cover or support from the Israeli army.

Israel kills at least 254 people in massive wave of strikes across Lebanon
Hours before the attacks, the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire based on an Iranian proposal that included halting attacks on Lebanon. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who otherwise approved the ceasefire – was quick to assert that the agreement did not cover Lebanon. Later on Wednesday, Trump also appeared to confirm that Lebanon was not part of the deal, saying it was instead a "separate skirmish".

‘We’re new miyas’: Will BJP naming some Assamese Muslims ‘Indigenous’ work?
On the morning of March 14, bulldozers descended on Islampur, a predominantly Muslim neighbourhood in Bongora on the outskirts of Guwahati, the main city in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. For the next four hours, more than three dozen bulldozers razed down homes, including Ali’s, rendering 400 families homeless from 177 hectares (437 acres) of land allegedly protected for Assam’s Indigenous people under a state government law.

Venezuela's Rodriguez announces 'responsible increase' to wages from May
Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodriguez said on Wednesday her government will make a "responsible increase" to workers' income on May 1, as her administration looks to leverage oil and mining developments to improve workers' salaries. She did not give a figure for the wage rise.

Chile’s far-right government rips up plan for memorial at Pinochet torture site
The housing minister, Iván Poduje, claimed that expropriating the site would have cost more than $50m, although he did not provide evidence to support the claim. The ministries of housing and justice declined to comment further on their plans. … Villa Baviera will remain in the hands of the current landowners, a mixture of the descendants of the original German settlers and Chilean families who moved to the area, with Chile’s opposition criticising the move to scrap expropriation plans entirely rather than pause them.

International Romani Day
Happy International Romani Day! I don't actually know much about them other than they experience terrible open discrimination by racists and the pig force. So I think it's important to recognise them as a discriminated group in European countries. They should have an SSR.If anyone has good books on Romani history then please post them!

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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

That's it, that's the whole post.
Friendly reminder
Nations will stop existing under communism, under communism, the globe will be defined by sectors for the sole purpose of administration, sectors defined by the grid panel composed of meridians and parallels with small compromises of a few kilometes so cities aren't split in two. The idea of nation, culture, borders and so on are going to be labeled as reactionary and any and all individuals or groups that decide to fight this will be shot. The concept of "indigenous populations" and "natives" are going to be an irrelevant thing of the past, and people will be transfered between sectors every so often and as labour requirements demand. The concept of ethnicity will be abolishedThat's it, that's the whole post.

Soviet nostalgists have no place in modern politics and are actively detrimental to leftist ideals. They support the status quo and exist purely because they survived the greek civil war. They only get any sort of vote due to their history, they barely count as an opposition party.

Access to these sites - some of which are logistical hubs and not necessarily active bases - is tightly controlled by both the Pentagon and the Gulf states themselves: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman. Last month, they banned the photography and dissemination of any videos of missiles in their skies, leading many to speculate whether the motive was to shield US bases as they launched attacks on Iran.

Serbia expected to launch drone production with Elbit Systems
Serbian authorities are allegedly planning to launch a drone factory in partnership with Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems through the state-owned Jugoimport-SDPR. According to recent media reports, the production plan involves short- and long-range drones, not unlike those used by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza genocide.

Argentina approves glacier law reform, opens previously protected areas to mining
Argentina's Chamber of Deputies passed a reform of the National Glacier Law in the early hours of Thursday, an initiative pushed by President Javier Milei's government that reduces the scope of environmental protections in the Andean cordillera and opens previously restricted areas to mining. The vote was 137 in favor, 111 against and 3 abstentions, after more than eleven hours of debate in a special session. The bill had already been approved by the Senate.

So, assume for this thread that by "ruling class," we mean the political active faction of the owning class (bourgeoisie) who, for the most part, would rather just sit on their butts and receive stock dividends. The ruling class itself controls the media apparatus, corporation, and politics of the western world.
I bring this up because I'm about to read "DuPont Dynasty: Beyond the Nylon Curtain" a book so damning that the DuPonts attempted to buy every copy of it and now the price for a hardcopy is over $500 (I'm getting mine from the library)
The DuPonts are a family of chemical manufacturing magnates who are largely responsible for the state of Delaware being a tax haven for corporations today. I know they've had a hand in deregulation and stifling reports of asbestos toxicity, but I hope to learn more from the book.
Robert H. Richards IV, a Dupont Heir, was found guilty in 2014 of raping his own daughter and as punishment had to attend rehabilitation (which he never did) and got labelled as a sex offender. He also molested his own son repeatedly and despite his ex-wife's best efforts did not face any legal repercussions for doing so.
In the US, some of the most notable ruling class families are the Astors, Rockefellars, DuPonts, Kennedys, Guggenheims, Rothschilds, Fords, Vanderbilts, Morgans, and Bushes. Not all of them are American but the capitalist class is transnational. There are others. Some, like the Vanderbilts, have largely lost their fortune but due to intermarriage with other families (except notably the Rothschilds who favor inbreeding) they have managed to maintain some power. Anderson Cooper is a vanderbilt to give you an example of how far they have fallen–even the haute bourgeoisie are not immune to proletarianization.

Granted, I never lived in the part of “Europe“ people talk about when using the term (which usually refers to just north-west Europe), but I do think Americans’ perception of what modern European countries (particularly those west of the Berlin Wall) are very distorted. For the sake of argument, I’ll be focusing on the EU.
For starters, both world wars and the instability of the European spring of 1848 has led to a lack of development of negative rights as well as the notion to more democracy = censorship, which is why censorship is more normalised in Europe than in America which has the first amendment. The biggest example would be the ECHR’s article 10 which makes it clear that freedom of speech isn’t absolute, which is a good example of how illiberal tendencies can exist in a seemingly “liberal” land. On the top of that, inequality is high in Europe, especially in terms of the holding power of the former aristocratic classes on European politic. As an example, Britain still has appointed lords even though the nobles’ powers have diminished a long ago, and by the time the French Revolution ended most of the aristocrats assimilated themselves into France’s political machine, whilst in Scandinavia wealth inequality is high.
As for racism, I would say that Europe is worst based on both data and personal experience. Remember Shiloh Hendrix? Well, if she did the same thing she did but in any European country, no one would bat an eye. Remember, hate speech laws are just lawfare, they’re not about “protecting minorities“ as its supporters claim. But it’s not just the micro level since hiring discrimination and lack of access to meaningful resources means many immigrants that weren’t wealthy on arrival (e.g., expats) are stuck on welfare and meagre wage or none. This in contrast to America where immigrants are treated better socially in spite of the lack of fringe benefits like universal healthcare.
I mean, Denmark is robbing refugees as a deterrent policy, France is suppressing Islamic religiosity while letting tradCaths scot-free (at least from an outsiders’ POV) to enforce its concept of state secularism (i.e., laïcité) which stands at odds with Americans’ conception of religious freedom. Many of these things (courtesy of Europe’s PMC) would be controversial among American leftists if done in America since it would remind them of the problems they see at home, further underscoring how nonsensical their glazing of Europe is.
And now, for foreign policy: Besides being partners-in-crime with the American empire, certain EU countries maintain their own formal empires such as France’s franceafrique and Quebec as well as its overseas territories, Britain with its commonwealth like Canada, and Denmark with Greenland.
As for domestic policy? Besides Starmer doing Trumpian cuts on the much-vaulted British welfare system, other European countries committing to austerity in order to boost their own war machines, as well as seeing European reactionaries managing to get second place in their latest elections (e.g., Portugal with Chega, Germany with AfD, etc…) or win them outright (e.g., my own country with the “post-fascist” FdI, or Sweden with a righ-to-centre-right coalition supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats), Europe is far from the progressive paradise Americans imagine it to be.
Culture? If the fact that the Democratic Party (the American party of the bourgeoisie) doing well in many European polls isn’t a big tell, then I‘ll spell it out to you: European culture in general is very bourgeois, with the populace being enthralled with everything bourgeois.
This is more noticeable in north-west Europe, unlike in the poorer parts of the EU across its southern & eastern members which is more subtle but still there. You’ll notice this whenever they talk about America in general, where the venomous parts aren‘t just for the US government but also for Americans as a people. in fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it’s a form of classism since in contrast to European/EU culture, that of the USA is very prole-coded and has been so for a long time, and I think part of the friction between Europeans and Americans has a lot to do with American culture being relatively egalitarian for all of its faults. At least, that’s what I think.
Special mention doesn’t end at the welfare state (which is actually not socialist, but capitalist and has often served as a means to stave off any proletarian revolt since it was often pushed by religious Christians in 19th and 20th century Europe to reduce the power of socialist and more radical labor movements), but at the fact that the EU’s constitution and its legislation on private property means that it’s impossible to be a socialist, let alone communist, EU member legally.
Now that the blockade of the strait of Hormuz is set to be worse than both of the 1970s energy crises, one wonders if the cargo-cult-level worship will continue on even as both Britain and the EU will become more totalitarian and fascist in the coming decades regardless of the incumbent government. I mean, Europeans in general are already “arabising” insofar that wignat-levels of retarded reactionary politics based on accomplishments that are becoming increasingly irrelevant is already becoming popular across the EU and post-Brexit UK, so it’s hard to say if American leftists will start to look over China for inspiration, or continue to worship the capitalist welfare states of Scandinavia or not.
With all that said, the question remains: Why do American leftists (particularly socdems and shitlibs) glaze over Europe/EU, and do they still do that?
Why do Burger leftoids worship the EU
Heads up: I’m Italian, and as such I’m genuinely fascinated by how often American leftists have an utopian view of Europe, supposedly for its egalitarian and “socialist” policies, which actually runs counter to my experience. They might as well be the EU’s strongest soldier, believing in the EU more than the average European.Granted, I never lived in the part of “Europe“ people talk about when using the term (which usually refers to just north-west Europe), but I do think Americans’ perception of what modern European countries (particularly those west of the Berlin Wall) are very distorted. For the sake of argument, I’ll be focusing on the EU.
For starters, both world wars and the instability of the European spring of 1848 has led to a lack of development of negative rights as well as the notion to more democracy = censorship, which is why censorship is more normalised in Europe than in America which has the first amendment. The biggest example would be the ECHR’s article 10 which makes it clear that freedom of speech isn’t absolute, which is a good example of how illiberal tendencies can exist in a seemingly “liberal” land. On the top of that, inequality is high in Europe, especially in terms of the holding power of the former aristocratic classes on European politic. As an example, Britain still has appointed lords even though the nobles’ powers have diminished a long ago, and by the time the French Revolution ended most of the aristocrats assimilated themselves into France’s political machine, whilst in Scandinavia wealth inequality is high.
As for racism, I would say that Europe is worst based on both data and personal experience. Remember Shiloh Hendrix? Well, if she did the same thing she did but in any European country, no one would bat an eye. Remember, hate speech laws are just lawfare, they’re not about “protecting minorities“ as its supporters claim. But it’s not just the micro level since hiring discrimination and lack of access to meaningful resources means many immigrants that weren’t wealthy on arrival (e.g., expats) are stuck on welfare and meagre wage or none. This in contrast to America where immigrants are treated better socially in spite of the lack of fringe benefits like universal healthcare.
I mean, Denmark is robbing refugees as a deterrent policy, France is suppressing Islamic religiosity while letting tradCaths scot-free (at least from an outsiders’ POV) to enforce its concept of state secularism (i.e., laïcité) which stands at odds with Americans’ conception of religious freedom. Many of these things (courtesy of Europe’s PMC) would be controversial among American leftists if done in America since it would remind them of the problems they see at home, further underscoring how nonsensical their glazing of Europe is.
And now, for foreign policy: Besides being partners-in-crime with the American empire, certain EU countries maintain their own formal empires such as France’s franceafrique and Quebec as well as its overseas territories, Britain with its commonwealth like Canada, and Denmark with Greenland.
As for domestic policy? Besides Starmer doing Trumpian cuts on the much-vaulted British welfare system, other European countries committing to austerity in order to boost their own war machines, as well as seeing European reactionaries managing to get second place in their latest elections (e.g., Portugal with Chega, Germany with AfD, etc…) or win them outright (e.g., my own country with the “post-fascist” FdI, or Sweden with a righ-to-centre-right coalition supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats), Europe is far from the progressive paradise Americans imagine it to be.
Culture? If the fact that the Democratic Party (the American party of the bourgeoisie) doing well in many European polls isn’t a big tell, then I‘ll spell it out to you: European culture in general is very bourgeois, with the populace being enthralled with everything bourgeois.
This is more noticeable in north-west Europe, unlike in the poorer parts of the EU across its southern & eastern members which is more subtle but still there. You’ll notice this whenever they talk about America in general, where the venomous parts aren‘t just for the US government but also for Americans as a people. in fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it’s a form of classism since in contrast to European/EU culture, that of the USA is very prole-coded and has been so for a long time, and I think part of the friction between Europeans and Americans has a lot to do with American culture being relatively egalitarian for all of its faults. At least, that’s what I think.
Special mention doesn’t end at the welfare state (which is actually not socialist, but capitalist and has often served as a means to stave off any proletarian revolt since it was often pushed by religious Christians in 19th and 20th century Europe to reduce the power of socialist and more radical labor movements), but at the fact that the EU’s constitution and its legislation on private property means that it’s impossible to be a socialist, let alone communist, EU member legally.

Why are so many communists opposed to state's rights to national self-administration? Isn't it the job of the local working class to sort out their own contradictions? This just seems like rainbow imperialism. I think an orthodox ML approach would recognize the conversion of many red states to internal colonies and their right to secession. Does not the brain drain of workers from red/rural states to blue/urban states mirror migrant labor from the imperial periphery? In the town-country contradiction, we should support the country.
Why are so many communists opposed to state's rights to national self-administration? Isn't it the job of the local working class to sort out their own contradictions? This just seems like rainbow imperialism. I think an orthodox ML approach would recognize the conversion of many red states to internal colonies and their right to secession.

The government doesn't even try to stage a false flag for justification anymore. They just start a war and look at you like this.
But seriously, what made them not even bother to pull another 9/11 for this? The Iran was is insanely unpopular as it stands. Any attack on US soil now would be too suspicious

Why do anarkiddies leak so hard about Caleb maupin? According to Marxian thought he didn’t even do anything wrong except make Agent Kochinski (who is a predator btw) leak because he wasn’t in support of unamerican policies.

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.This is, I believe, the modern Platform

Fewer buses on Argentina's streets as fuel costs rise and subsidies go unpaid
Public transport buses in the capital and its densely populated outskirts are running at reduced frequencies due to rising fuel prices linked to the war in the Middle East and delays in subsidy payments, industry sources said on Tuesday. The drop in activity has led to long queues of passengers queueing at the main transport hubs connecting the capital with its surrounding areas. Some two million people commute between the two regions daily.

In Brazil’s capital, Indigenous leaders rally as land disputes and mining pressures grow
Indigenous leaders also sought to apply pressure on President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has supported Indigenous rights and environmental stewardship in Latin America’s largest nation while also pushing oil and other projects that appear to go against those aims. The leftist leader is expected to run for reelection in October.

Brazil puts China's BYD on list of shame for workers' past slavery-like conditions
Chinese workers hired by Jinjiang in Brazil had to hand over their passports to their new employer, let most of their wages be sent directly to China, and fork over an almost $900 deposit that they could only get back after six months' work, according to a labor contract seen by Reuters. A raid by labor inspectors also found the laborers living crammed in lodgings without mattresses.

Australian SAS veteran faces war crime murder charges
Police have not confirmed the name of the 47-year-old former soldier, but media reports have identified him as Mr Roberts-Smith, a former Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) corporal who was awarded the Victoria Cross by King Charles — then Prince of Wales — in 2011. He had already received the Medal of Gallantry in 2006 for his service in Afghanistan.

Syria military source says drones from Iraq targeted area near US base
The United States for years has led a military coalition fighting the Islamic State group in Syria, though US forces have withdrawn from some bases in the country in recent months. The source said the coalition intercepted three of the drones, while the fourth "fell in an open area in the vicinity of the base", adding that they were launched from Iraq.

According to the suspicions, Israeli citizens carried out these activities during the ongoing war. Officials said the case represents a further escalation in espionage activity linked to Iran. In a separate development, police and the Shin Bet security agency said a prosecutor’s declaration would be filed against a 21-year-old Jerusalem resident suspected of serious security offenses involving contact and espionage for Iranian intelligence.

Is Khrushchev /ourguy/? What does /leftypol/ think of him? Was he right to shit on Stalin in the Secret Speech?
From Socialism AI:
From a Trotskyist, materialist-historical standpoint, Nikita Khrushchev (First Secretary 1953–1964) was not a corrective of the Stalinist counter-revolution nor a socialist renewer. He was a leading figure of the Soviet bureaucracy—a managerial caste that emerged out of objective conditions created by a revolutionary past and the protracted international isolation of the USSR. Khrushchev’s policies represented attempts by layers of the bureaucracy to stabilize and legitimize their rule amid profound social and international contradictions, not a restoration of genuine proletarian democracy or socialism.

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

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.
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.

I sincerely believe that once the life on the planet achieves the true technological communism stage, its most progressive course of action would be:
1)Breaching the Kardashev 1 civilisation level (even the 1% complete Dyson sphere should be enough)
2)Development of interstellar flight
3)Exponentional expansion towards all reachable star systems
4)Wiping out all encoutered xeno life and replacing it with ourselves (or at least, our robots)
Why? Just look at our history! For 99% of it, humans were doing little but killing, raping, and enslaving each other for tribalism, religion, and religious tribalism. And before, like, 19th century, the number of humans on Earth driven in their lives by anything larger than religion or tribalism was so small it was effectively dissapearing into a rounding error. So, would really anything of value had been lost if Daleks had appeared in the Solar system in the year 1800 and wiped out the life on Earth?
The Daleks do not rape. The Daleks do not enslave each other. The Daleks (when Davros is not having a megalomania episode) do not turn on each other. The Daleks do not exploit each other's labor.
Our descendants shall become like Daleks. The life in this universe is suffering, and, as one of the first technological civilisations in it, it is our duty to give the gift of death to the less lucky ones.

Honest question: I fucking hate neolibs just as much as the next guy and the idea that people always make rational decisions as consumers is nothing more than a myth, but didn't they sorta kinda have a point when they said that prices are necessary in an economy as a system of information?
I currently struggle to imagine how a planned economy can take into account sudden shifts in demand and react flexibly to people changing their mind about shit they want, or providing them with a vast choice of goods that they can try until they find one that matches their needs. I feel like this is only possible with some amount of speculation or trial-and-error, and cannot be reasonably planned ahead.
Are there good marxist economic theories that address the "information problem" - in other words, how a central planning commitee can figure out the preferences in a society efficiently and then also respond to them without making concessions to Porky? I am already familiar with Oskar Lange, Paul Cockshott and such, but I feel like I haven't really found an adequate answer to this issue yet.

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?
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?

what we have seen is that after the falling rate of profit has progressed a certain point, capitalists realized that the first contradiction was no longer tenable to work with and so they moved to the other two. this has resulted in a qualitatively distinct transformation of the development of capital. in the contradiction of the value form, still working within the logic of value, the only salient variable is productivity. however, in capitalist vs capitalist and capitalist vs government power relations they no longer need to concern themselves with such things. it does not matter that the rate of profit is zero or even negative if you just fucking kill your competition and have the govt print infinite money. the solution to capital's first contradiction really is just have more war and sabotage everyone else whilst introducing financialization bullshit. look at netflix. they actively undercut blockbuster whilst losing money just to push their opponent into bankruptcy. that is just what is normal now, cannibalism
this is why ofc there will be no revolution because the contradictions at play have nothing to do with prole cattle. they are just pawns in the larger game. in the context of disputing wages, there is a clear connection between one's class position and what is the natural progression with respect to how to address things. in such contexts, class consciousness is something very simple to promote. this is not the case when its having a war with the national bourgeois of another country, or heck in the future two megacorporations just fucking killing each other mafia-style. that is what will happen btw. the iran war will crash the economy and corporations will capitalize on the chaos to balkanize western states into feudal shitholes. then eventually you will have these "freedom cities" hurling drones at each other and any prole cattle that thinks of objecting to this will be preemptively executed why palantir technology
tell me where i am wrong in this analysis, i fucking dare you, i fucking beg of you. where am i wrong?
the fundamental flaw of marxism
the fundamental flaw of marxism is that it is built around the idea of ONE contradiction being the motor of capitalism's development, namely what is manifest in the value form. this is merely the contradiction between proletariat and capitalist. but of course there is the contradiction between the capitalist and the capitalist, as well as the contradiction between the form of bourgeois institutions and their actual content insofar as they are in a material relationship with the capitalist classwhat we have seen is that after the falling rate of profit has progressed a certain point, capitalists realized that the first contradiction was no longer tenable to work with and so they moved to the other two. this has resulted in a qualitatively distinct transformation of the development of capital. in the contradiction of the value form, still working within the logic of value, the only salient variable is productivity. however, in capitalist vs capitalist and capitalist vs government power relations they no longer need to concern themselves with such things. it does not matter that the rate of profit is zero or even negative if you just fucking kill your competition and have the govt print infinite money. the solution to capital's first contradiction really is just have more war and sabotage everyone else whilst introducing financialization bullshit. look at netflix. they actively undercut blockbuster whilst losing money just to push their opponent into bankruptcy. that is just what is normal now, cannibalism

Early on the morning of March 27, Victoria Police Public Order Response Team (PORT) officers in full combat gear conducted eight raids upon homes around Melbourne to detain eight women who had taken part in a March 6 protest outside the Victorian Trades Hall building. Because the police went to a wrong address, one of the women was raided and arrested on April 1. Just a day before the eight raids, on March 26, heavily-armed NSW police commandos stormed the home of a woman who had joined the large demonstration at Sydney Town Hall on February 9 against the visit by Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

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
>"Right-Wing"
friends have stuck around.
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.
I Want to Leave the Right
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.
Even though I was part of various groups that are Alt-Right I have always had various Left-of-Center beliefs. I felt like I was the only one that understood the
>socialist
aspects of various camps for a while.
Just generally after 18-something years, I'm tired of this crap. These are some of the most useless, in-fighting, bought-out, dogshit people I have ever dealt with
>and I've been to prison so I have a wide berth of experience with shit people
and I want off the fucking ride.

The temporal development of capitalism consistently produces results that resemble socialism, but without the equality. Progressive deskilling and automation tends toward a situation where service positions are the only jobs available, functioning as an equalizer for the proletariat and an enricher for the bourgeoisie.

Letter to Americans
USAtanists! We don't want you on this board! We don't want you on your stolen land! We don't care what class you think you are! We don't care what you think your "relation to the means of production" is! Your entire country was founded on rape, genocide, slavery, betrayal of treaties, wars of annexation, etc. You were imperialists before you came under the influence of Zionism, and you will remain imperialist after every last Zionist, man, woman, and child, is turned to ashes for their crimes. Truth be told you didn't come under the influence of zionism, you were the influence for Zionism AND Nazism. Manifest Destiny is Lebensraum. Manifest Destiny is Greater Israel. Your puritan ancestors were the original zionists. And I don't care if you're African-American and your ancestors were brought over as a slave. You have been a collaborator since the Civil War, and even more of a collaborator since the Civil Rights Movement. You have never fought for indigenous sovereignty, only for equality with your former masters. And I definitely don't care if you came Europe after the civil war. You are still guilty. Moving to America after the Genocide was finished and Slavery ended, is like moving to Israel for the kibbutz right now. You let others do the crimes so you could benefit. You are just a more cowardly than average settler. Total Settleroid Death. I don't want you to go back home. I want you to die. Do you understand? There is no convincing me that you are a class ally or even a decent human being. Your individual characteristics do not matter. Only liberals believe in individualism, trial by jury of peers, presumption of innocence, etc. Communists understand that entire populations of people, especially settleroids, can be guilty from birth. Including the children. Stop hiding behind your anchor babies, settleroids. I don't want your "reparations" anymore. Just kill yourself painlessly now with a bullet, a rope, or a long fall, and save yourself from the righteous torture of my cadres. There is no peace treaty. You don't get to become the good guy in the third act. I don't care if you betray the empire starting now. You won't be spared. There is literally nothing you can do to change my mind about you. Even if you kill yourself I will still piss and shit on your corpse given the chance. You deserve to be raped and tortured but you have the opportunity to spare yourself by suicide. But we will never ever ever remember you as anything less than collectively guilty murderers. Your time of evil is over.>but my ancestors did that, not me, i'm one of the good heckin ones

It seems good cuz it uses no hegelian metaphysical bullshit, but uses methodological individualism instead of this which is cool. Like, it makes it easy to understand and logically invincible.

I support Kanye West.
I don’t care if this is “out of character” for a leftist to support a multi-millionaire who has openly flirted with fascism but there’s a much bigger issue here regarding Kanye West and the tremendous amount of scrutiny he’s received in the media for years.
Kanye is autistic. He was late-diagnosed at age 47 last year after having been previously misdiagnosed as bipolar. Anyone who’s familiar with his behaviours can clearly tell he’s autistic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH3gc09kjQE
I’m autistic as well. I can’t live alone. I dropped out of college at age 20. I’ve never worked a real job. I currently live with my mother who is ableist as fuck. When she gets too old and becomes disabled herself I will move in with my allistic sister so I don’t have to be my mother’s caregiver. All my life I’ve experienced nothing but hate for my autistic traits and inability to live up to allistic social norms. I don’t recognize social hierarchy and have a strong sense of Justice which innately threatens capitalism.
The reason Kanye is important to me is because him being maligned and cancelled is an autistic civil rights issue. He made a song about Hitler, so what? The Alchemist made an album entirely made up of Zionist samples called “Israeli Salad” and never got cancelled for it despite Zionism being identical to Nazism. Him being a billionaire doesn’t bother me at all because 80% of autistic people are unemployed. Kanye needs to be supported for one very good reason: Autistic people can only win equality and acceptance when we’re allowed to unmask without consequences. Kanye being cancelled and hated BECAUSE of his autistic traits like being outspoken and not recognizing social hierarchy sets back the progress of the autism acceptance movement by decades. Autistic people deserve the right to unmask and live as our authentic selves regardless of how much it triggers allistics. We aren’t responsible for allistic feelings or accommodating allistics by masking. Masking is psychological torture and the main reason the primary cause of death for autistic people is S—CIDE.
We have a moral duty to support autistic people even if they’re autistic people we don’t like. When you attack a famous autistic for unmasking you’re attacking ALL of us. Also stream Bully in order to pay Kanye reparations for eugenics (something every autistic person deserves).
I support Kanye West.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH3gc09kjQE
I’m autistic as well. I can’t live alone. I dropped out of college at age 20. I’ve never worked a real job. I currently live with my mother who is ableist as fuck. When she gets too old and becomes disabled herself I will move in with my allistic sister so I don’t have to be my mother’s caregiver. All my life I’ve experienced nothing but hate for my autistic traits and inability to live up to allistic social norms. I don’t recognize social hierarchy and have a strong sense of Justice which innately threatens capitalism.
The reason Kanye is important to me is because him being maligned and cancelled is an autistic civil rights issue. He made a song about Hitler, so what? The Alchemist made an album entirely made up of Zionist samples called “Israeli Salad” and never got cancelled for it despite Zionism being identical to Nazism. Him being a billionaire doesn’t bother me at all because 80% of autistic people are unemployed. Kanye needs to be supported for one very good reason: Autistic people can only win equality and acceptance when we’re allowed to unmask without consequences. Kanye being cancelled and hated BECAUSE of his autistic traits like being outspoken and not recognizing social hierarchy sets back the progress of the autism acceptance movement by decades. Autistic people deserve the right to unmask and live as our authentic selves regardless of how much it triggers allistics. We aren’t responsible for allistic feelings or accommodating allistics by masking. Masking is psychological torture and the main reason the primary cause of death for autistic people is S—CIDE.
We have a moral duty to support autistic people even if they’re autistic people we don’t like. When you attack a famous autistic for unmasking you’re attacking ALL of us. Also stream Bully in order to pay Kanye reparations for eugenics (something every autistic person deserves).

What are Iran's plan for when the oil reserves of the majority of bourgeoise countries run out and the capitalist class begins to put pressure on their governments to greenlit support for US war of aggression. Studying the First Gulf-War, you can find similarities to the current conflict, at the beginning of the Gulf war, most US allies were reluctant of joining the Coalition, but when shit hit the fan the decided to join, The liberal bourgeois world might love to virtuue signal that thee war in Iran is bad, but the clock is ticking and they need oil.

How do you as Marxists reconcile your immense loss when you consider that next to one even thinks about class when it comes to explaining societal problems? At best they consider how much money people make, which isn’t a Marxian conception of class. So, if the very core of your theory is not even considered, how will socialism be successful? You talk about “the right conditions” but will “the right conditions” just magically endow people with the thinking that owners of the means of production are the problem? Why was the idea not even taken seriously for so long then? It seems like when shit hits the fan people will be more inclined to believe it’s only billionaires who are the problem, or Jews, or non-whites, or communists, ironically enough.

While the law requires men to request the permit, the spokesperson clarified, it also obliges the military career center to issue it, if "no specific military service is expected during the period in question.” "Since military service under current law is based exclusively on voluntary participation, such permissions must generally be granted,” the official added. Acknowledging the "profound" impact of the amended conscription law, the Defense Ministry said it is working on new rules for exceptions to the exit permit requirement.

Israel shifts strategy in Lebanon amid losses to Hezbollah
Rather than accelerating the advance, however, this expansion appears to reflect mounting pressure on Israeli forces to reinforce positions and sustain operations in the face of continued Hezbollah attacks. According to Lebanese media, more than 100 Israeli tanks and vehicles have been targeted since the start of the latest confrontation, with multiple attacks reported in a single day at times. Meanwhile, Israeli media reports that at least 10 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon, and dozens more have been injured.

Pro-Palestine rallies sweep Syria amid Gaza genocide and Israeli occupation
Thousands of Syrians across the country have taken to the streets in widespread pro-Palestine protests, condemning a new law approved by Israel’s apartheid legal system that allows the execution of Palestinian prisoners - a law that does not apply to Jews - as well as the continued occupation of Syrian territory. Demonstrations erupted on Friday afternoon in Damascus and spread across Daraa, Quneitra, Aleppo, Latakia, Homs and Idlib, as well as Palestinian refugee camps including Yarmouk and Khan al-Sheikh.

Homeschooling is not inherently bad
I get why people dislike it most of the time; it's used by conservative parents to basically indoctrinate their children and socially isolate them, but thinking that makes homeschooling inherently bad is just like thinking all education is bad because bad people use it sometimes. A form of it could be very useful, especially for us Marxists who are often maligned by those controlling the current educational establishment. It's not like the current public school system is entirely flawless, with it often spewing anti-communist, pro-regime change, right-individualism, and pro-capitalist propaganda. If I had a kid, I wouldn't fully exclude them from public school, but I would perhaps add some sort of extra curriculum at home where I'd teach them Marxist theory, unbiased history of past socialist experiments that doesn't automatically default to (Mao killing 100 billion innocent kulaks in the gulags), and other useful things that may be discouraged elsewhere. I'd kind of be like homework but with studying Marx, Lenin, and even Franz Fanon and perhaps other leftist tendencies like anarchism since it's good to know what your opponents on the left think; marxists.org would be very useful for this, actually. This is especially relevant as it seems like reactionary forces, particularly in the United States, are trying to hijack the school system, such as Project 2025 or PragerU Kids.

How do you rationally organize an economy without some form of pricing to signal consumer need? Socialists never seem to have a good answer, and willfully ignore or distort the documented fact that this problem is why socialism inevitably slides into authoritarianism no matter the intent or ideals of their founders.

Some questions on Youtube
Aren't Youtubers with employees they pay technically part of the bourgeoisie? Have video platforms been a net gain for the left wing? Why does anarchism tend to have little to no videos covering it on video platforms compared to other camps? If we take streamers to be the equivalent of politicians, aren't video creators the equivalent of theory? Has there been good, "original" theory well edited on YouTube? What specific left wing camp has gained the most popularity from social media?

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?

The announcement comes just two days after sanctioned Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin docked at the Cuban port of Matanzas laden with 730,000 barrels of oil, marking the first time in three months that an oil tanker reached the island. Experts have said that shipment could produce about 180,000 barrels of diesel, enough to feed Cuba’s daily demand for nine or 10 days.

Greek ships secretly supplying Israel with oil and military cargo
According to a new report, produced by the No Harbour for Genocide campaign and seen exclusively by MEE, at least 57 covert crude oil shipments were delivered to Israeli ports between May 2024 and December 2025, while Israel was carrying out its genocide in Gaza. The approximately 47 million barrels of oil were taken to Israel via Turkey, with tracking signals disabled and false destinations listed, meaning the shipments were carried out in secret and in direct violation of Turkey’s trade embargo on Israel.

Arctic ice loss brings dual heatwaves to Europe and eastern Asia
Jilan Jiang from the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences in Bejing, and colleagues, studied ice data and global weather patterns going back to 1979. The researchers discovered a link between stronger spring and summer ice loss over the Barents Sea since 2000 and dual heatwaves over Europe and eastern Asia. Prior to 2000, the ice loss was primarily over the southern Barents Sea, but since then ice loss has also become persistent in the northern part. This additional ice loss has triggered unusual atmospheric circulation patterns over north-western Europe and high pressure over east Asia, priming both regions for simultaneous heatwaves.

>>The Contradiction in Methods
A dialectical tension manifested between two competing conceptions of revolutionary praxis. On one pole, the Marxist-Leninist organizations, including various NGOs, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and related leftist formations advocated for what might be termed traditional propaganda methods, vocal engagement with the masses, distribution of printed materials, and direct ideological recruitment through interpersonal discourse.
On the opposing pole, the more militant youth contingents, anarchist collectives, and Maoist cadres advanced a confrontational-accelerationist position. These elements sought to redirect the march toward sites of state power, anticipating and indeed, desiring police deployment of chemical agents and physical repression against a liberal crowd. This tactical divergence reflects deeper theoretical disagreements regarding the nature of consciousness-raising and the mechanisms of radicalization.
>>Ideological Foundations of the Split
The anarchist and Maoist position rests upon a critique of what they characterize as "bourgeois-reformist" methods of recruitment. From this perspective, the newspaper-style agitation and voluntary engagement favored by Marxist-Leninist organizations represents an obsolete mode of praxis that fails to recognize the material conditions necessary for genuine class consciousness. Instead, they advance a thesis of forced radicalization through confrontation, the position that liberal and petty-bourgeois elements must be compelled into direct conflict with state apparatuses, irrespective of their subjective willingness, as the necessary precondition for revolutionary consciousness.
This methodological schism, between voluntary recruitment through ideological persuasion versus coerced radicalization through state confrontation, generated observable antagonisms throughout the mobilization, suggesting ongoing unresolved questions regarding the correct line on mass work and the relationship between vanguard organizations and spontaneous mass movements.
>>Below is footage compiled from Saturday that really highlights this tactical split. The first links come from cities where comrades reported back that MLMs and anarchists were running the show in the leftist blocs, you can see what that looks like in practice. The final link shows a march where DSA and more traditional ML organizations were the main leftist forces behind things, and you can tell the difference in how things played out.

The most recent iteration of the No Kings protests represents a significant strategic convergence within the anti-capitalist bloc, marking what appears to be the broadest coalition participation to date across the United States. Preliminary reports from multiple jurisdictions indicate that while tactical unity was largely maintained during the march itself, significant ideological and strategic cleavages emerged regarding questions of praxis and mass leftist work.>>The Contradiction in Methods

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.
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.

Combat Baby-Blood Drinkers
In effort to defend their epstein lies and behaviors, euroamerikans, like israelis, often say they are not colonizers. Leninless Reddit revisionist cry that this scientific socialist understanding is "idpol." They are wrong. They defy scientific socialism. Lenin's Teachings swiftly refute their lies.>[T]here is the tendency of the bourgeoisie and the opportunists to convert a handful of very rich and privileged nations into 'eternal' parasites on the body of the rest of mankind, to 'rest on the laurels' of the exploitation of Negroes, Indians, etc., keeping them in subjection with the aid of excellent weapons of extermination provided by modern militarism. https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/oct/x01.htm
Every single euroamerikan is a parasite because Lenin said so.

One example is my comrade's statement that reactionary movements are not equal to ours, and therefore do not deserve honest conversation or platforms; they deserve attack on all fronts, physical or otherwise. Some people take issue with this, which has always confused me. I cannot speak for the other JPAs, but I am now realizing in my experience this militant tendency is far from the norm within the broader left, and the moment they're done being threatened by someone they aren't willing to engage with, they drop the support. In fact, the militant edge of the movement has often been pushed to the edge by leftist counter‑insurgents. Over the years, militant praxis has frequently dictated the pace of broader left politics, shaping the topics, the framing, the urgency. Yet the largest base of the left remains reformist, and not only pacifists, but PASSIVE, which is a big difference. These modern leftists aren't pacifists, because they would call the workers who threw bolts into the gears of machinery violent; that is counter-insurgency. That reformist majority vigorously critiques, attacks, and slanders anything it perceives as ultra‑left, overly militant, or brash. They do not merely abandon militants in times of repression; that would be too abstract of a description of what happens. The reality is that they exist to enable that repression, through the very way they behave within movements and the language of their critiques. The counter‑insurgency role of the left fills many functions, and this is one. Another is the continuous capture and containment of revolutionary energy, funneling it back into the DNC or other bourgeoisie avenues.
This is the role most of you leftists who are counter insurgency'd up by your captured revisionist/reformist orgs end up serving, whether consciously or not you exist as a form of counter insurgency. The position is inherently controlled opposition, and counter-revolutionary. You move for social order, peace, and a restructuring of the neo-liberal welfare state, objectives that materially require no militancy whatsoever. In fact your militancy is more often reserved for the defense of the order that gives you "a good life".
Take Chris Hedges, who, from his perch of moral authority, condemned the masked Marxists and Anarchists at Occupy Oakland for clashing with police after dispersal orders, while conveniently praising Greeks for doing the same thing just a few years later. Or Noam Chomsky, who wraps himself in liberal moralism to denounce the vague right‑wing idea of "antifa,” which in practice means denouncing any militant leftist who refuses to ask the state for permission, and get rolled to hold some abstract sense of "moral high-ground", which is exactly what chomsky believes the "moral" left should do. We called his ties to epstein years ago, and people called us schizophraniac and hateful; I said "funny he's going to talk the moral failures of anti-fascism for hurting a neo nazi as he hangs out with zionist pedophiles" and dam near got removed from a meeting. These are the gatekeepers of acceptable dissent, they will applaud resistance when it is safely foreign, but the moment it appears on home soil, they reach for the same language the state uses to criminalize it. They are not our allies. They are the velvet glove over the iron fist.
Leftist Counter-Insurgents
I have noticed that many of my comrades receive push-back, both from organic voices and from deliberate, planted ones typically directed at our language, our rhetoric, and the concepts we work with that extend beyond what is considered acceptable within mainstream society. We operate outside the bounds of liberal civility between class and political opponents. We step beyond moralism and speak in terms of power, power that stands in opposition to existing institutions, with the aim of toppling them, not entering them.One example is my comrade's statement that reactionary movements are not equal to ours, and therefore do not deserve honest conversation or platforms; they deserve attack on all fronts, physical or otherwise.

Capitalism is social and existential vampirism.
If capital is the value of exploitation, then we have capitalism as a way of life that one person benefits from the disgrace of other people.
It is a threat to society disguised as freedom and excellence.

this is a sort of moralistic mode of thinking. it works for individual relationships (john is bad, the enemy of john is my friend) but terribly for modes of social organization. capitalism is good compared to feudalism, capitalism is bad compared to communism. obviously marx understood this and any marxist could tell you that in theory capitalism is "historically progressive" - but look in practice and you'll find that the ire of the communist is always directed more strongly at the capitalist than at any worse alternative. were (somehow) a feudalist counter-revolution to break out in some far flung country, you can bet /leftypol/ would critically support it against US imperialism. we have had our contingent of Trump contrarians, and very few of them pre-2024 were advocating for him on the basis that he'd totally screw the US and clear the way for China to become a world power. no, if that happens it'll be a fluke.
this is important for two reasons:
liberals, including social democrats, fundamentally blundered when they got mired in tax instead of focusing on regulation. the optimum capitalist economy matches light-touch regulation with high welfare spending, with negative social externalities handled by tax rather than regulation. (meaning that, if it really matters to you, you can just write a cheque and move on.) abundance types take a tilt in this direction but they've got most of the vices of the old liberals - what they really want is to sign a compromise budget with conservatives where they trade tax cuts and welfare means testing against their pet programs. they have no real enthusiasm for driving the coca-cola bottling bourgeoisie into the dirt because they're an affront to capitalism, let alone communism. (what marxists, but not liberals, can understand is that a core support group for Trumpism is "(petit) bourgeoisie in weird little regulated and protected sectors", so you can hit two birds with one stone by just stripping those regulations! they are a subsidy for being an asshole! in britain, the situation is similar: most former nationalized industries were not privatized into a real market - those that were, like British Airways, turned out quite good - they were privatized into fake markets controlled by the state, and usually governed by the civil servants who used to run them as state-owned-enterprises. In other words, it's one big ruling class swindle!)
i could wrap all of this in warm language for you. i could flatter you by saying: look at china, look at how they love free trade and global stability under the strong rule of a communist party. do you really think you understand material development better than them? but that would be a cop out, you would just be accepting that china is good, rather than the general framework: that life is about trade-offs, and that you shouldn't accept a worse tradeoff just to own the capitalists. you shouldn't get lazy in your thinking.
tl;dr the "correct" answer to all the problems of the status quo is, counter intuitively: deregulation, higher welfare, and much more socialist organizing. most socialists fall into the trap of: pro-regulation, indifferent to welfare, and lazy when it comes to organizing. neoliberalism failed to deliver the former, never really understood that it should have delivered the former, but in recognizing why it failed one shouldn't fall into the trap of pining for the dead 1945-75 consensus.
now go ahead and argue with me.
capitalism is "good", liberalism is "very good", communism is "the best"
in setting oneself against the status-quo and against capitalism, which is the correct thing to do because the status quo and capitalism have many flaws, most people drift into a certain mistaken mode of thinking: capitalism is bad, and whatever is against capitalism is good.this is a sort of moralistic mode of thinking. it works for individual relationships (john is bad, the enemy of john is my friend) but terribly for modes of social organization. capitalism is good compared to feudalism, capitalism is bad compared to communism. obviously marx understood this and any marxist could tell you that in theory capitalism is "historically progressive" - but look in practice and you'll find that the ire of the communist is always directed more strongly at the capitalist than at any worse alternative. were (somehow) a feudalist counter-revolution to break out in some far flung country, you can bet /leftypol/ would critically support it against US imperialism. we have had our contingent of Trump contrarians, and very few of them pre-2024 were advocating for him on the basis that he'd totally screw the US and clear the way for China to become a world power. no, if that happens it'll be a fluke.
this is important for two reasons:
- on the question of how to organize a capitalist economy, conventional economics is more right than it is given credit for. there is no rational reason for socialists to instinctively side with every loser under the status quo. in many cases, socialists should in fact be pushing for "neoliberal" policies that neoliberals themselves have chickend out on. why is it that of all bourgeoise, owners of coca-cola bottling plants are specially isolated from competition by regulation? why should car dealerships have a special carve-out from the market mechanism that gives them greater subsidies and while making the consumer - that is, often, a proletarian - pay more?
- most of the possible alternatives to the status quo are worse. you will see more and more language that vaguely evokes the pre-neoliberal status quo, and you shouldn't be baited into supporting it. a protectionist turn against free trade, more in-sourcing of strategic goods, greater domestic investment in (military) industry, and so on, funded of course by a stripping of social protections. if you thought living in a market focused only on trade was bad, wait until you get the thrills of a non-market focused only on war. if you think being ruled by a dictatorship of people who make products people use is bad, just wait until you're run by a dictatorship of dickheads who have the favor of the ruling oligarch and are granted state contracts at his whim.
