Borders are an archaic and barbaric concept. No human is illegal unless they’ve committed a crime. A REAL crime. Not just the crime of being from Mexico. Our immigration systems are purposefully undermined, underfunded, and extremely limited in the amount of people they let in to the point of functional impossibility.

Wrong again. Marx says to organize Irish immigrant workers in the United States in the very letter I quoted.

<You have wide field in America for work along the same lines. A coalition of the German workers with the Irish workers (and of course also with the English and American workers who are prepared to accede to it) is the greatest achievement you could bring about now. This must be done in the name of the International. The social significance of the Irish question must be made clear.


<Letters of Karl Marx 1870, Marx to Sigfrid Meyer and August Vogt In New York


https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1870/letters/70_04_09.htm

Here you can see Marx clearly recommending organizing in a coalition with Irish immigrant workers and those of other nationalities.

Let's look at an example of a program to fight for immigrant wages in the very political program that Marx helped write for the bourgeois election in France, which was written after the publication of Capital Volume I and after the Paris Commune, which goes against what you are saying:

Tony Blair's neoliberal regime is now being given control over Palestine, the most rigorously policed AI cyber-dystopia. Really puts a nice narrative flourish on his NWO-esque obsession with state-mandated ID cards to track humanity:

You remain wrong. Marx wrote this letter, and the two collaborators in the United States, Sigfrid Meyer and August Vogt, organized immigrant workers in coalition with natives. This is the intention of the letter that you are hiding. The antagonism against immigrants is what maintained the control of the English aristocracy in Ireland, acting in conjunction with the interests of the English bourgeoisie, fueling prejudices of English workers against Irish workers. This is the same thing you are doing now.

You don't realize that Marx is only describing the wrong view of the worker who blames the immigrant, and this individual would be the useful idiot who keeps the bourgeoisie able to easily exploit other workers more intensely. The Programme of the Parti Ouvrier itself proves what I wrote, having nothing written against immigrant workers, but rather defending the labor rights of these immigrants, proving again that you are wrong as a liberal who has no interest in abolishing the repression of the bourgeois state in order to arm the workers and implement the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Again I repeat the quote that you ignore that Marx is obviously defending immigrant workers:

<A. Political Section

[…]
<4. Abolition of standing armies and the general arming of the people;
<5. The Commune to be master of its administration and its police.

<B. Economic Section

[…]
<3. Legal minimum wage, determined each year according to the local price of food, by a workers' statistical commission;

Iranian Army: New anti-aircraft equipment introduced into combat system
The spokesman for the Iranian army, Brigadier General Akbar Mirinia, announced the introduction of new anti-aircraft equipment into the combat system and the rehabilitation of systems damaged in the previous war.
He stressed that the new equipment has greatly enhanced Iran's air defense capabilities, so that "enemy aircraft are now dealt with much more forcefully."
In this context, the Iranian Army's Public Relations Office announced yesterday that the Army's ground forces targeted the US Army's HIMARS systems stationed at the Arifjan base in Kuwait with surface-to-surface missiles, as part of the 18th phase of Operation Thunderbolt.

The United States renewed its aggression against Iran, with attacks concentrated on the southern regions, which prompted Iranian responses with operations targeting several American bases in the Gulf, Syria and Jordan.
Tehran insists that it harbors no animosity towards the peoples of the region, but rather targets American bases and centers that have caused several crimes in the Islamic Republic.
It should be noted that 50 people have been killed and more than 500 others injured since late June, according to the latest announcement by the Iranian Ministry of Health as of July 18. Among these martyrs are women and children.

So there will be a mini cold war in the middle east between saudis, iran, and israel, who all will have nukes, and god knows who else will get nukes like qatar or some other oil rich muslim country.


And then to the further east we have india and pakistan with nukes in their own mini cold war.

the israel/ukraine relationship is more than a shared love of fascism: the ancient tribes of israel bought ukrainian mail order brides to try to fix problems caused by their horrific practices of inbreeding.

they still have religious holidays that involve trips to ukraine, and they still buy ukrainian mail order brides. every so often it makes the news, usually because once the women arrive they start beating them (51% DV rate) but more lately to congratulate themselves for saving them from the war (like domestic slavery in israel is better).

Israel still isn't being punished.



 

The most sobering part about revolution is knowing that common people cant do shit against a government unless the military or police defect or unless they have massive outside support in terms of funds, arms and training and even then they need broad popular support. This is the reason that if any country today went overtly fascist the individual will have absolutely no agency in deciding their own fate unless they flee the country beforehand and if the country in question is a global power not even that qill save you. If the state is after you, you cant fight, you cant run and you cant hide. They will get you where ever the fuck you go and you cant even hide a single second of your life from them if they decide to go after you with the ir resources. Every single one of us is literal property of the government and you not experiencing death/torture/mutilation/inprisonment/rape and much more is the mercy of those that rule you. Soon we will have mind control and quantum computing so not even your thoughts will be sacred anymore. Nothing you own including your rights, possesions and even body is truly safe. The day you realize this is the day you grow up and become depressed like a real adult.

So you're ignorant. I'm from the Third World and I know what needs to be done for communists to gain power by advancing the class struggle. I'm also not against using state capitalism as a tool to bring the bourgeois state into crisis, acquire economic sovereignty to facilitate the socialization of the economy, and prepare workers' self-defense committees for a revolutionary situation.

I follow the principles of scientific socialism and I don't tolerate betrayal of any of these principles. I'm just pragmatic in using tools before a revolutionary situation to spread propaganda and radicalize the working population so that the fog of bourgeois illusions disappears from the masses.

I am not against communists in a party independent of the bourgeoisie for the political supremacy of the proletariat to put forward a political program during a bourgeois election.

Here's an example of one:

<The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e., of the proletariat organised as the ruling class; and to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible.


<Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order, and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionising the mode of production.
