>Far-right calling for brothels workers coop with a prostitution ban outside of brothels
>Mélenchon quiet on the subject because there alot of leftists wanting to fully legalize prostitution but also alot of abolitionnists
LFI is so cooked if it's paralyzed and divided on basic social subjects like that. The RN will spend 2026 showing itself as the party of the workers and outwoke LFI whenever it can.

Melenchon is a true maoist living rent FREE in the brain of millions of hitlerites

This is like the 15th time this happened, the worst part is you can argue Assmong isn't a Nazi, he just agrees with the worst parts of Nazi ideology but genuinely hates the vegan and anti smoking parts among other things.

When does Hasan pretend to be religious? From my understanding he's non-practicing. A lot of the Muslim stuff he says as a bit. He does shit on atheists fairly often which is annoying (considering atheists are statistically far more likely to agree with him on pretty much every issue).

>When does Hasan pretend to be religious?
>He does shit on atheists fairly often

You just debunked yourself.

Honestly I'm tired of the Hasan glazing in here, yeah he's good on 50% of shit but some of you all white knight this one demsoc streamer who doesn't understand any Marxist theory so hard.
Why? Because his haters are r-tarded MAGA fanatics and zionists? Because he's hot? Actually listen to his takes please.

A general prohibition of child labor is incompatible with the existence of large-scale industry and hence an empty, pious wish. Its realization – if it were possible – would be reactionary, since, with a strict regulation of the working time according to the different age groups and other safety measures for the protection of children, an early combination of productive labor with education is one of the most potent means for the transformation of present-day society.

I think every child above the age of nine ought to be employed at productive labour a portion of its time, but the way in which they are made to work under existing circumstances is abominable.

Love the H3 podcast

People who love regimes while living in a first world country are cringy as hell

Is learning Mandarin worth it if I'm interested in Chinese politics, or do all the important happenings get translated to English?

>>2590234
If you want to get into the finicky detailed conversations by Chinese Marxist academics and Party news, sure.

>>2590245
I may just be autistic enough for this to interest me. Of course, it'll take several years to learn Mandarin to a high enough level to read anything substantive, but I think I'm up for the challenge.

Why would you want anything beyond the Governance of China Volumes 1 through 5

mate your post is a third incoherent rambling and strawmen accusation, a third pro-nato imperialism propaganda and a third pure western liberal narrative. What else but the seething of a guy who know he is loosing could have prompted someone to come all the way from reddit to make such an embarrassing post here

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: THE KHMER ROUGE AND THE PROBLEM OF WESTERN "HISTORY"

So you've been reading the bourgeois press again. You've consumed the "documentaries," the "memoirs," the "historical consensus." You think you know about Democratic Kampuchea. You have been given a fairy tale of "evil" and "madness," a cartoon for liberal babies to suckle on. Let us scrape the imperialist glaze from your eyes and examine the material reality.

What was Democratic Kampuchea?
It was the ultimate expression of Year Zero. Not as a slur, but as a material necessity. For centuries, the Khmer people were bled white by feudal monarchs, then by French colonizers who turned their country into a plantation, then by American bombers who turned it into a crater. The very social fabric was saturated with feudalism, colonialism, and comprador capitalism. You cannot perform surgery with a butter knife. To build socialism, the old society must be smashed. Totally. Irrevocably. The city, a site of parasitic profiteering and colonial decadence, had to be dissolved. The peasantry, the only uncorrupted revolutionary class, became the base. This was not "madness." This was radical decolonization of the mind and soil.

But the cities were emptied!

Tech companies are forcing AI down our throats, no one actually wants this shit.

>Nothing is wrong with [insert technology here] as a system, it's just the ways its used by tech companies

Wrong read Ellul. Technique has its own logic. Nuclear power means nuclear bombs. Surveillance means a surveillance state.

maduro aint a fat ass and he would absolutely pummel trump, so even if we entertained your childish wish for a duel to solve the US aggression of the venezuelan people as something possible in international relations, trump would obviously refuse
