>>2252517>>2255693yeah bro im trying to find writers and i work at whataburger so we aint making money. promise some random anon from here can writer something more interesting than IGN
can you write?
>>2255655Something I pitched to the CPUSA once that a few higher ups were interested in is better internal organization of organizing. What I mean by that is there's plenty of people who join socialist orgs and do mutual aid or community gardens or what have you, but there needs to be better interconnectedness: between the Party, the Membership, and the Community.
So what I was thinking is you can get a physical map of your county or town or what have you. Choose something that already has a basis in community, to me religious centers are the first thing that come to mind. Place a pin or otherwise mark it on the map. Talk to the people there, try to figure out ways you can help
those people specifically. If it's a church in a poor neighborhood, try and set up a food drive. If it's a recreational sports league, help source equipment or advertise their games; I think some of them mention that they've got trouble with playing after dark for example. Make yourself a known presence in their lives, and once you accomplish that, try to take on another little locus of community that's at least somewhat geographically close to that. When you've got two down, try to find ways to bring them out of these isolated little nexuses into a greater whole that's capable of acting as an alternative institution to state and private ones, operating on the basis of socialist democracy. Make it about small scale issues that people are capable of handling themselves, the legality or regulations of handling it come secondary.
Take potholes for example. Everyone fucking hates potholes. You ask the government to help and you'll go through some bureaucratic hoops that'll take forever. Instead, invite these people into a common space, say "Hey, we got a lot of potholes here, why don't we do something about it?" And then question them: which streets have particularly nasty potholes, how do we efficiently fill in potholes, what equipment will we need, who will volunteer, etc.
Voting can be more than just a "yes" or "no", it can be a pledge to action irregardless of the actual total number of votes. If 10 people out of 100 say "we need to fill in the potholes" and the rest say "nah", then just fill in the potholes with those 10. When you do it, celebrate it as a victory, make people feel proud that they saw a problem, took action, and fixed it. Mention it at the next meeting, and gradually try to convince people that change
is possible. The goal should be to make these groups self-sustaining even without socialists guiding them. Then bring in another nexus: another church, another apartment block, another support group, what have you. Try to fill that map up with groups that all are interdependent on one another, like tie some string to them if you have to. Keep at it until the map is filled up, and then try to do it another town over, another county, another state.
The Party should be like the composer of an orchestra, the membership should be the band, and the masses should be the audience gradually intertwining with each other in a dance.
It's not necessarily about turning everyone into communists, not immediately at least, but instead giving the people the tools to rule themselves. Help them. Try to guide them. Prove that there's something valuable about your ideals in real time.
>>2255620Look nothing wrong with the grill pill my friend. It's easy to feel lost or like the situation is hopeless or what have you. But you'd be surprised what you can do if you just grind away at it. I'm not saying spend every waking moment being an "activist" or what have you, but try to learn more about your community, try to make yourself a known quantity, and have some faith that even the most backwards or pigheaded of people can be won over.
>>2255701how many people should be in the club honestly? what kind of people do you think should be invited to public events?
i'm tired of my club being a tiny group that meets up to do everything.
>>2255773>>2255775my last manager at my PMC engineering job was a "socialist" (bernie bro) and basically got fired for being too nice to the workers, always riling people up against upper management, and never firing people when he was asked to and instead moving them around to different departments in secret. It's not as crazy as people think. Was he an anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist-Hoxhaist? Of course not but he was still surprisingly class conscious.
Remember:
>Lenin was a lawyer from a tight-laced middle peasant family of local officials who were well on their way to becoming minor nobility until his brother tried to assassinate the Tsar with Narodnya Volya>Castro was the son of a plantation owner>Marx was a disowned bourgeois married to an aristocrat heiress>Engels was the son of an industrial factory owner>Zhou Enlai was from a family of Qing Dynasty imperial civil servants and academics>Mao Zedong was from a well-off middle peasant family>August Willich was a prince who renounced his titles of nobility, became a communist, challenged Karl Marx to a duel for being too conservative, moved to the United States, and fought in the civil war as an old man on the side of the union with explicit and open abolitionist ambitionsEven outside of Marxism:
>Kropotkin was a prince >John Brown was petty bourgeois >>2255608I dont ged id but I am no burger
also why do they both look like they are dressed up as zelensky?
>>2255819Alcatraz is impossible to reopen. The costs simply aren’t worth what you would be getting. If the prison was sitting on a valuable resource deposit, you might get some interest, but it’s not. It’s just 22 acre isolated island with the ruins of an old shittily built prison on it. No one is doing shit with Alcatraz.
>Is trump playing 4d chess bros? That’s us. Trump is playing monopoly 1980’s edition.
Anyone else's family members actively leaving the country? My sister left last week, and my fiancee is thinking about having us do the same since shes Mexican and genuinely terrified of the habbenings.
>>2256000Depends entirely on who you're speaking to. Its a very, very mixed bag in my experience.
>>2255884>>2255603That is Alex Soros, son and heir of the infamous George Soros, and his wife Huma Abedin, who was raised up since she was a child as Hillary's handmaiden and operative. She first made Huma marry the infamous Anthony Wiener who was forced from congress for sending pictures of his wiener to young women after Huma told him she would not touch it on any occasion she wasn't personally directed to by Hilldawg. So after he was disgraced and driven from congress, Clinton had no more use for him, so she withdrew her operative from the marriage, and has now deployed Huma to Soros.
The people in the twitter screencap are saying Alex Soros looks like a homosexual and Huma Abedin is his beard. This lines up with what we already know about her, that she only marries rich or powerful men Clinton instructs her to, so sexual attraction in her husband is irrelevant to her, so it's a win-win situation for the both of them.
Glenn is saying his his quote tweet that he thinks the photo is so repulsive, it will turn people against oligarchy.
>>2255793>my last manager at my PMC engineering job was a "socialist" (bernie bro) and basically got fired for being too nice to the workers, always riling people up against upper management, and never firing people when he was asked to and instead moving them around to different departments in secret. holy based
this is why I don't hate the PMC
actually if you think about it the idea of "PMC" as a class is explicitly anti-Marxist because everyone from teachers to doctors gets thrown into the definition as well
>>2256041no because to become an American cop you have to be a major piece of shit to begin with
dorner got in ez because he was recruited as early as high school but the police will literally do lq tests to weed out smart people to get the most retarded recruits imaginable who are then propagandized on a steady diet of bullshit until they are Wall St's strongest soldiers
>>2256048Point being, one single exception, who was almost immediately put down for being an exception, like in OP's story, doesn't in anyway excuse the rest of them or exempt them from blanket criticism.
>But what about that guy who wasn't an asshole who they fired from that position immediately for not being an asshole?!What are you going to start singing the praises of German industrialists because of Schindler?
>>2256054middle managers are proles too
they don't control the means of production
they can be fired and replaced just as easily as any worker
they are also heavily exploited
it is in the interest of the executive to ferment division by creating these subdivisions to grant a false sense of dignity or pride to a select minority which then gets to feel better about not being lumped in with the rest of the front line workers
but that doesn't mean that they aren't also being robbed as well
your example with a ww2 german industrialist is just silly and totally irrelevant clearly we weren't talking about fascism and fascists
>>2256041I think the PMC and petty bourgeoisie confuse strata which do tend to blur together. Unproductive (unprofitable) labor such as cops and management work, and highly skilled artisan work. Sometimes the term labor aristocracy is used but that term is how mostly used in the context of imperialism.
IMO the major strata of today go like
- Lumpenproletariat: P = S/C, mostly unemployed, treated as slaves, like property not people (skill is neglible compared to MOP)
- Proletariat: P = S/(C + V), unskilled laborers
- Artisan: P = S/V, skilled laborers (skill is more important than MOP)
- The State: unprofitable laborers
I do think fruitful organizing with the lowest ranks of the state and the artisans is possible. The issue is confusing on how to properly sublate the other stratas into the struggle of the proletariat.
>>2256059>>2256056It's unproductive labor (unprofitable labor) which bloats under monopoly capitalism. Real estate agents and bank clerks are part of the state as well. I liked David Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs" about some of this even though I didn't like his analysis.
IMO the primary concern of a prole is labor exploitation, the concern of the lumpen is the violent terror of the state, the concern of a professional is rent and the concern of the state is moral injury (basically guilt/perpetrator PTSD). The lines between bureaucratic/managerial work and other kinds of work are blurry.
Anyhow I do think we can organize the lower managerial strata but not on the basis of labor exploitation because they don't do productive labor in the first place.
>>2256078>>2256067>>2256065>>2256062Artisans/professionals don't care about labor exploitation. Let them organize tenant unions because the primary way their surplus value is stolen is through rent-seeking.
The soldiers have as their primary concern moral injury. Do G.I. Resistance/Rights stuff.
Labor unions don't work for these jobs and are pointless here.
As to why target these areas? Mostly, just note down these alternatives to get these distractions out of the way. The questions about the upper and lower strata get raised constantly.
>>2256128Proletarians sell their labor. Whether or not that labor is put to good use, or whether or not the total amount produced by the workforce goes up or down, is of little concern.
>>2256133>Idk man, like, maybe we all should go read, or something?probably, yeah
>>2256242Yeah, very good idea, organize soccer leagues while our government is actively murdering millions of people and deporting anyone darker than a paper bag.
I'm sure that ICE will see your soccer ball drives and stop what they are doing, repent and go home, right?
The best case scenario for strasserite organizing is that MAYBE in 50 years you build a large enough coalition to get free healthcare for what remains of the proletariat on a dead planet. Even that is unlikely. Your most likely scenario is that because you have done nothing to change the material situation, nothing changes.
There's a reason why there are so many feds in the CPUSA, you know. They want you to do things like this instead of actual effective action.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Marco Rubio has decided to fold the office that manages Washington’s relations with Palestinians into the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on Tuesday.
The U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs will now report to U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and will be merged with the other sections of the main embassy to Israel in the coming weeks, Bruce told reporters

Yet Another Federal Court Rules Against Trump in an Alien Enemies Act Case
The Southern District of New York rules Trump invoked the Act illegally, because there is no "invasion" or "predatory incursion."
https://reason.com/volokh/2025/05/06/yet-another-federal-court-rules-against-trump-in-an-alien-enemies-act-case/The Trump administration urged a US appeals court on Tuesday to allow immigration authorities to continue to detain students at Tufts University and Columbia University who were arrested after engaging in pro-Palestinian advocacy on campus.
A lawyer with the US Department of Justice asked the New York-based 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals to pause lower-court orders requiring Tuft's Rumeysa Ozturk to be transferred to Vermont for a bail hearing on Friday and allowing Columbia's Mohsen Mahdawi to be released last week.
Justice Department attorney Drew Ensign said those orders by two judges in Vermont should never have been issued, as Congress has made clear that any challenges to the government's decisions to deport someone must proceed in immigration court.
https://www.newarab.com/news/trump-admin-asks-court-block-pro-palestine-students-releaseWASHINGTON — A new bill by Senate Republicans would cut funding to the United Nations — and other international organizations — that offer the Palestinian Liberation Organization special privileges, according to text of the bill exclusively shared with The Post.
It would extend it to any international organization that gives the PLO “any status, rights or privileges beyond observer status
“Once created to be a bastion of peace and security in the world, the United Nations is now a seat of antisemitism and in desperate need of reform,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman James Risch (R-Idaho) said.
“Israel is one of America’s greatest allies and we cannot tolerate or fund any anti-Israel bias or favoritism for the Palestinian Liberation Organization at the UN,” he added.
The bill, introduced Tuesday morning by the SFRC, comes a week after Risch introduced the Stand With Israel Act, which would slash funding to UN agencies that downgrade or restrict the participation of the Jewish State.

FT report suggests advance knowledge of Melania Trump memecoin launch
A group of crypto traders reportedly purchased millions of dollars worth of Melania Trump’s memecoins minutes before she announced the launch on social media.
According to a May 6 Financial Times report, the crypto traders earned roughly $100 million from buying $2.6 million worth of MELANIA tokens before the public launch on Jan. 19. Shortly after Trump announced the memecoin launch on social media, the price surged from roughly $2.00 to $12.95 — a 550% increase. The traders reportedly sold their holdings within 12 hours

There are literal instruction manuals for how to do this, but you refuse to read them because all of them call for the same tactics, a self-sacrificing vanguard of professional revolutionaries willing to actually, physically fight the state while legal, above ground organizations carry out political mobilization.
You are lacking in the first, and most important. None of you are willing to sacrifice anything for this, and you will get out of it exactly what you've put in.
Nothing.
>The African National Congress started in the early period of its existence by using the methods that were common at that time — protest demonstrations, resolutions adopted at conferences, various ways of trying to demonstrate the rejection of the system by the majority of the people. As time went on, the African National Congress began to rally under its banners all of the forces that were opposed to the system, especially during the era of apartheid, when a unity began to develop among the Africans and other racial groups in the country, including the whites. This force created problems for the regime; it compelled the regime to resort to naked force to repress the struggle for democratic change. In the period between 1950 and 1961, the people’s movement, which involved the peasantry, young people and of course the working people, was confronted with such violence that the most natural thing to do at that time was to reply to this violence with violence. The African National Congress advocated nonviolence — again as a means of mobilizing the masses, disciplining them and preparing them for brutal repression. By these methods the African National Congress also sought to win over more of the white population which supported the regime and to appeal to international opinion. The regime used not only armed police at the time. At that point, in 1961, the people decided to move away from non-violence and embrace violent methods, adopt the strategy of armed struggle.- Oliver Tambo, “The Struggle Continues”, 1978 Spy Agencies Do Not Think Venezuela Directs Gang, Declassified Memo Shows
The release of the memo further undercuts the Trump administration’s rationale for using the Alien Enemies Act to deport scores of Venezuelans to a prison in El Salvador
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/us/trump-venezuela-gang-ties-spy-memo.html.
>>2256443>This is so because even in the typical colonial-type situation, armed struggle becomes feasible only if:
>• there is disillusionment with the prospect of achieving liberation by traditional peaceful processes because the objective conditions blatantly bar the way to change;
>• there is readiness to respond to the strategy of armed struggle with all the enormous sacrifices which this involves;
>• there is in existence a political leadership capable of gaining the organised allegiance of the people for armed struggle and which has both the experience and the ability to carry out the painstaking process of planning, preparation and overall conduct of the operations;
>• and there exist favourable objective conditions in the international and local planes.
>In one sense, conditions are connected and interdependent. They are not created by subjective and ideological activity only and many are the mistakes committed by heroic revolutionaries who give a monopoly to the subjective factor and who confuse their own readiness with the readiness of others.- Report on the Strategy and Tactics of the African National Congress, 1969Organized action takes time and effort. Random acts of terrorism are pointless and a waste of people, resources and courage. However, without the introduction of armed struggle to your repertoire, it is impossible for political action to advance beyond a certain stage.
>We reject the approach which sees as the catalyst for revolutionary transformation only the short-cut of isolated confrontations and the creation of armed resistance centres. Does this mean that before an actual beginning can be made to the armed challenge, we have to wait for the evolvement of some sort of deep crisis in the enemy camp which is serious enough to hold out the possibility of an immediate all-round insurrection? Certainly not!
>We believe that given certain basic factors, both international and local, the actual beginning of armed struggle or guerrilla warfare can be made, and having begun, can steadily develop conditions for the future all-out war that would eventually lead to the conquest of power.
>Under the modern highly sophisticated police state (which South Africa is), it is questionable whether a movement can succeed in a programme of mass political organisation beyond a certain point without starting a new type of action. Also, it is not easy to determine the point at which sufficient concrete political and organisational preparations have been carried out to give our armed detachments the maximum chances of survival and growth within any given area. There is no instrument for measuring this. But we must not overdo the importance of the subjective factor, and before embarking upon a path which is in one sense tragic, although historically inevitable and necessary, certain of the basic minimum conditions already mentioned must be present and certain minimum preparations must have been made.” >>2256478>The African National Congress started in the early period of its existence by using the methods that were common at that time — protest demonstrations, resolutions adopted at conferences, various ways of trying to demonstrate the rejection of the system by the majority of the people.

The revolutionary base is built through regimenting and disciplining the people, preparing them both physically and psychologically to face the state's repression. This is done by using all tactics short of violence to force a response from the state until you reach such a point as it becomes obvious that armed struggle is the only way forward.
The vanguard is drawn from these regimented, disciplined proletarians, brought under the aegis of the party and educated in revolutionary theory and military tactics.

One of the goals of President Donald Trump’s 145% tariffs against China is to drive manufacturing back to America. But the odds of that are low, at least when it comes to toys.
“We don’t see that happening,” Mattel
CEO Ynon Kreiz said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday, less than a day after the company withdrew annual financial targets.
“We need to remember that a significant part of toy creation happens in America,” he said. “Design, development, product engineering, brand management all happens in America. Making product, producing product in other countries, allows us to create quality products at affordable price points.”
In the meantime, Mattel is taking mitigating actions to fully offset costs associated with Trump’s trade war with China, including raising prices in the U.S., while aiming to keep the cost of many toys low.

We MAYBE have 50 years left before the earth is uninhabitable for future generations, and even that is optimistic. Frankly, it might already be too late. Filling potholes and organizing soccer leagues is wildly insufficient. We should be filling magazines and organizing an army. All decisions must be made from a military standpoint, and the party must be reimagined as a combined military-political structure which puts the preparation for armed struggle as it's foremost goal.
We don't have time for anything else.

trust the slime network's plan, WWG1WGA
<If you want to design a railway system, you could do worse than hire a slime mold. Researchers have shown that, when grown on a map of Japan, the gelatinous, funguslike organism connects points of interest in a pattern similar to Tokyo's train network. Engineers might be able to take a cue from the organism's approach to design more-efficient transportation systems.<The trick has to do with how slime molds eat. When Physarum polycephalum, a slime mold often found inside decaying logs, discovers bacteria or spores, it grows over them and begins to digest them through its body. To continue growing and exploring, the slime mold transforms its Byzantine pattern of thin tendrils into a simpler, more-efficient network of tubes: Those carrying a high volume of nutrients gradually expand, while those that are little used slowly contract and eventually disappear. >>2256518>violins should be illegalthanks to Trump's tariffs, they basically are for the working class.

Wow, a bible! I've heard about these! (pronouncing it like 'bib-el")
WASHINGTON (AP) — Negina Khalili’s family sold their house and possessions in Afghanistan and flew to a U.S. base in Qatar in January, preparing for the last step in emigrating to America. Thirteen days later, the Trump administration took office — and suspended the refugee program that would have let them in.
Now they are among a small group of Afghans who advocates say are waiting at a camp in Qatar for permission to one day come to America.

On Bari Weiss’ contrarian website, The Free Press, Prasad seemed to defend Kennedy’s most controversial positions on vaccines, raw milk and fluoride by listing other countries that have policies that align with Kennedy’s views.
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-names-oncologist-vinay-prasad-new-vaccine-chief-rcna205145>>2256530yeah i really dont think thats how it works. if youre right its already way too late. i think youre wrong about this because most other revolutions have been organized under worse or equivelant immediate circumstances. when we denounce adventurism in previous communist movements its in the tsarist empire, in warlord era china, in jim crowe era of american empire
not a revolution but it feels dishonest to leave out immediately relevant example of weathermen, huey/cleaver BPP split, etc ill give you john browns raid, and probly plenty of other examples. but even in an example like that, browns raid was the culmination of years and years of patient building of the appropriate networks and alliances that they could be funded, well before the opportunity of kansas even presented itself. and then they were ABSOLUTELY right to jump at that opportunity for militamt action. john brown "consecrated" himself to ending slavery in 1837, was about almost 2 decades until he & his people fought the slavers in kansas. where did he get them? how were they willing to fight? it was action, and it was the uncompromising, unequivocal demand they were doing the right thing. AND it was patient, humble practice. you know what one of the biggest single instances in the failure of browns raid was a few years later? somebody who was supposed to deliver the wagons full of guns and ammunition stopped along the way to deliver speeches about the righteousness of their cause and the necessity of rising up.
source is DuBois biography of Brown, dont remember his name & not looking it up rn but i THINK he was a euro 48'er gloryhound that had never seen combat. spoilers bc im not sure about that & want to add that DuBpis biography of brown has been superceded in some respects, ive never heard that instance specifically being treated as an inaccuracy but want to mention it may be false Brown himself could even be said to be acting rashly in that he famously started the raid without Tubman due to her illness at the time, and theres very good speculation that Brown started it at that moment in spite of that because he was himself in ill health at the time, and only getting older. i dont think that was necessarily a tactical "error", but i think theres absolutely a lesson in that you should have enough faith in your people that you arent afraid of dying in an unromantic and unclimactic way and can pass things on to them trusting that they will take or make the opportunity. where were the panthers at when MLK was assassinated? who was right about the direction they should take, huey or cleaver? they kept officially disputing leadership until the panthers ceased to exist, but hueys line saw the panthers through the greatest expansion of their power and highest public sympathy that carried them there. when MLK was assassinated, cleaver said "nows the time to get out there and kill the pigs, if we dont do that we arent the vanguard of the people", and huey said, "we are not ready for that, our show of strength with be armed marches alongside demonstrators to protect them from the pigs."
i do not think there is a shortcut besides building substantive bases in communities and meeting people where they are. people need to be pushed further but thats a 2 way street, i dont think its properly clear how and in what specific direction to push until actually embedding in the proletariat and trying to build up a viable infrastructure. you need to learn from them what the specific direction for broadly popular militant action is, and they need to like you enough to keep you around and make that clear, and like you enough to support you after you start shooting.
im not saying take it slow and do nothing, im saying immediately get organized and stay committed, but a lot of it is very fucking boring and stop and start, its hard work and you need to learn how to do that and do it effectively. everytime i organize in circumstances im familiar with i get embarassed, sometimes because i made the wrong call and sometimes i did nothing wrong but just embarassed myself with my unfamiliarity, in every case the solution was to recommit and humble myself and learn from the people were trying to organize. ive been doing that for a little over a decade now and i only feel stronger in my capability to contribute to an organization. it can only be learned through extensive practice and building an infrastructure to on-board people effectively into learning how to do it. there is no definitive end goal for a revolutionary communist movement other than a dictatorship of the proletariat, and there is no timer on when opportunities will present themselves. you need a strong party of experienced cadre and a sympathetic base in the population to take advantage of those opportunities, and theres no shortcut to building a strong party and a sympathetic base. at particularly weak points you can make those opportunities, but you dont make them out of thin air, you make them out of the strength of your org and the extent and sympathy of your base.
you can disagree and tell me whatever, i am honestly most sympathetic to you whenever you post the south africa context excerpts because i also find them very insightful as to the appropriate direction, but knowing you have good perspective in that way makes me much less sympathetic to the fact that you just, effectively, spam retarded bait telling people to act without thinking and shaming people for what are usually mostly indiscernable reasons. whatever, its /leftypol/, at best you can say its like a bar full of leftoid dilettantes thats fun to hang out in and a good conversation or information will occasionally happen. i like this site bc its fun to have an internet shithole to where at least peoples psychoses are recognizable, and sometimes you chat with someone who has something interesting to say, and i like to chat and argue about communism. if /leftypol/ went down tomorrow i'd be disappointed but it would change nothing because i dont think this is a place to organize and i have an organization for that. i dont understand why you keep coming here if all youre going to do is bitch and whine about the fact that no one is doing what you want in this forum of people that you apparently only hate and despise. even if youre right and were all wrong in our own ways, why keep bothering us about it?

Two of the officials said the US military could fly migrants to the North African country as soon as Wednesday, but stressed that plans could still change.

The White House proposed slashing funding for Section 8 and other federal programs by about 43 percent, saying it will “fix our broken federal housing policy.”
The White House’s “skinny budget” proposal, released Friday, calls for $26.7 billion in cuts to Section 8 and other housing assistance programs. A new grant, called the State Rental Assistance Block Grant, would reallocate the remaining funds for these programs to states to develop their own initiatives.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/05/06/section-8-cuts-trump-budget-proposal/>>2256914i am sorry to be the one to tell you this but all available scientific evidence indicates that i am right about climate change. we both know what the cause of climate change is, and the only way to fight against it is a complete national mobilization.
i think you have good insights in the history of american militancy, which is why you must understand that this CAN be done. it has been done before, by people with fewer resources and less infrastructure than we have.
i am not calling for terrorism, and i never have. i am calling for organizing an army. there is a huge difference between the two, and the first is that an army must have a popular base. a small state like cuba can be overthrown with a little conspiracy, but a larger, more powerful state like america needs an army.
the problem that we have is thus. powerful states do not collapse without a considerable crisis. internal strife is not enough, it takes an external cause as well. every revolution has been precluded by some external force shattering the power of the state. lenin had WW1. mao had the century of humiliation and the japanese. ho chi minh had the japanese. not to mention, these were all feudal or recently emancipated nations which had a clear class basis under which to organize.
so who, then, provides the crisis that shatters american power? china is too far away. a naval invasion over that distance is, objectively, a fantasy. the same could be said about any resuscitated Russian empire. mexico and the rest of latin america are easily kept down by the might of American imperialism and cannot realistically threaten us in our lifetime. canada is america's closest collaborator. who provides the hammer that breaks the glass?
it has to be us. no one else can do this. no one is coming to save us. we have to build an army that can, at the very least, break the power of american imperialism and force it inwards, or the whole world dies.

https://www.ynetnews.com/article/ryhah3ogexExclusive: US, Israel discuss possible US-led administration for Gaza, sources say
JERUSALEM, May 7 (Reuters) - The United States and Israel have discussed the possibility of Washington leading a temporary post-war administration of Gaza, according to five people familiar with the matter.
The "high-level" consultations have centered around a transitional government headed by a U.S. official that would oversee Gaza until it had been demilitarized and stabilized, and a viable Palestinian administration had emerged, the sources said.
According to the discussions, which remain preliminary, there would be no fixed timeline for how long such a U.S.-led administration would last, which would depend on the situation on the ground, the five sources said.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to discuss the talks publicly, compared the proposal to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq that Washington established in 2003, shortly after the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
The authority was perceived by many Iraqis as an occupying force and it transferred power to an interim Iraqi government in 2004 after failing to contain a growing insurgency.
Other countries would be invited to take part in the U.S.-led authority in Gaza, the sources said, without identifying which ones. They said the administration would draw on Palestinian technocrats but would exclude Islamist group Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, which holds limited authority in the occupied West Bank.
Islamist group Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, sparked the current war when its militants stormed into southern Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and capturing another 251.
The sources said it remained unclear whether any agreement could be reached. Discussions had not progressed to the point of considering who might take on core roles, they said.
The sources did not specify which side had put forward the proposal nor provide further details of the talks.
In response to Reuters questions, a State Department spokesperson did not comment directly on whether there had been discussions with Israel about a U.S.-led provisional authority in Gaza, saying they could not speak to ongoing negotiations.
"We want peace, and the immediate release of the hostages," the spokesperson said, adding that: "The pillars of our approach remain resolute: stand with Israel, stand for peace."
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to comment.
In an April interview with Emirati-owned Sky News Arabia, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said he believed there would be a "transitional period" after the conflict in which an international board of trustees, including "moderate Arab countries", would oversee Gaza with Palestinians operating under their guidance.
"We're not looking to control the civil life of the people in Gaza. Our sole interest in the Gaza Strip is security," he said, without naming which countries he believed would be involved. The foreign ministry did not respond to a request for further comment.
Ismail Al-Thawabta, director of the Hamas-run Gaza government media office, rejected the idea of an administration led by the United States or any foreign government, saying the Palestinian people of Gaza should choose their own rulers.
The Palestinian Authority did not respond to a request for comment.
RISKS
A U.S.-led provisional authority in Gaza would draw Washington deeper into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and mark its biggest Middle East intervention since the Iraq invasion.
Such a move would carry significant risks of a backlash from both allies and adversaries in the Middle East, if Washington were perceived as an occupying power in Gaza, two of the sources said.
The United Arab Emirates - which established diplomatic relations with Israel in 2020 - has proposed to the United States and Israel that an international coalition oversee Gaza's post-war governance. Abu Dhabi conditioned its involvement on the inclusion of the Western-backed Palestinian Authority and a credible path toward Palestinian statehood.
The UAE foreign ministry did not respond to questions about whether it would support a U.S.-led administration that did not include the PA.
Israel's leadership, including Netanyahu, firmly rejects any role in Gaza for the Palestinian Authority, which it accuses of being anti-Israeli. Netanyahu also opposes Palestinian sovereignty.
Netanyahu said on Monday that Israel would expand its attacks in Gaza and that more Gazans would be moved "for their own safety". Israel is still seeking to recover 59 hostages being held in the enclave. Its offensive has so far killed more than 52,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health ministry data.
Some members of Netanyahu's right-coalition have called publicly for what they describe as the "voluntary" mass migration of Palestinians from Gaza and for the reconstruction of Jewish settlements inside the coastal enclave.
But behind closed doors, some Israeli officials have also been weighing proposals over the future of Gaza that sources say assumes that there won't be a mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza, such as the U.S.-led provisional administration.
Among those include restricting reconstruction to designated security zones, dividing the territory and establishing permanent military bases, said four sources, who include foreign diplomats and former Israeli officials briefed on the proposals.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/07/greenland-spying-surveillance>>2256984Felix, let me level with you here, speaking on my own behalf but I'm also going to echo the general sentiment towards you here and why.
For what it's worth, I agree with you on a lot of things. Climate change is an existential threat that needs to be immediately addressed, electoralism is ultimately a dead end, and we need a militant underground to take advantage of existing strife to make decisive blows against the bourgeoisie. And as you've said yourself, you also need to build a base of popular support before you launch terror attacks willy nilly.
Here's the thing though, I'm also an anarchist. An anarchist sympathetic to Marxism and willing to push back against egregious capitalist propaganda about the USSR, but I am an anarchist nonetheless. Which as your other posts have made clear, means you consider me worse than a Nazi and deserving only of a bullet to the head even though I'm on your side. So I'm hesitant about working with you for obvious reasons.
Even other Marxists aren't safe. For all your talk about building an above ground front with popular support, you poo poo and slander any communist who does anything less than immediately throw cartoon bombs at factories. I disagree with the CPUSA on several issues and with CPUSAnon in particular on some other things, but at least what he's doing is actually organizing popular support from which you can draw more militants. All you ever do is come in here and shriek about how America has to be destroyed immediately, shit all over every leftist who doesn't meet your standards of ideological purity, and then refuse to elaborate on what you yourself are doing. All you're doing is pushing away people who again would otherwise agree with you like myself and your habit of constantly barging into threads getting mad at people for not immediately raising an army out of nothing makes a lot of folks think that you're a fed trying to get people imprisoned.
We're not your enemies, Felix. We all want the destruction of American imperialism. We all want a communist entity arising in what is currently the United States. So when you come at us with maximalist black and white declarations about how anybody not following your party line and simultaneously training a militant cadre for some major operation is a Strasserite is just going to scare the hoes, as the kids say. If you want to cut off the head of the snake, you're going to have to work with people with some ideological differences. Until you're ready to put dogma aside and put on your Get Along Shirt, all you're going to do is drive away potential allies.
>>2256960The public housing situation in this country is so fucked I really couldn't care less. Section 8 is some bullshit you can only get if you're disabled or have a young kid or something in most markets as far as I am aware.
Also how fucked is that? All of our best locals, your only options are paying millionaire prices for rent, or be a senior citizen. I remember seeing a video where they go up to New Yorkers and ask them how much they pay for rent. Everyone is like.
>$3000 >$4000etc. maybe even for a share. But then there will be the random senior citizen:
>yeah I pay $500 a month and I live right next to NYUWhat the fuck kind of plan is this? My uncle similar story. I'm from LA and my extended family used to live out there with us but then they all moved to Charlotte because of the tech industry there, but then that went bellyup, another story, but anyways, my uncle had 2 strokes and got disability and retired from being a cabby in Charlotte and he also got divorced. He was like
>I'm disabled, I get SSI and section 8, the fuck am I gonna die in Charlotte for?So he moved back to LA, got a section 8 unit in "The Jungle," he still knows people and family there from when he used to live there, and he gets to spend the rest of his life in beautiful Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, all the kids getting kicked out their houses at 18 or younger, we're just like:
>FUCK YOU FAGGOT! FIGURE IT OUT! It's like they're trying to turn all our most desired localities into retirement communities and drive off all the young people. What the fuck is wrong with this country?
>>2257395I think the biggest issue is the welfare trap which is genuinely real. Obviously the solution is not what right-wingers say of just oh just remove it and people don't need welfare and that bs
But it absolutely encourages you to remain in poverty. For the reason that it's entirely means tested due to income and there's little leeway for you to incrementally progress off of it. For example, if you are to make x amount of money that is on a low income, you may have food stamps. You may have government assisted healthcare. Possibly have some utilities covered. And as you said yeah something like section 8 is possible too
But as you increase in household income even just literally having like two people working at like McDonald's or something in your household. It may literally already lead you to losing your health care. Your food stamps and even if you're on section 8, it's going to greatly increase your portion of the rent. And it could quickly reach a point where you have all benefits removed from you.
So this encourages people to just pursue cash jobs or looking for like dirty ways to make money. Kind of like you say like people selling drugs or doing something that is not so legal to still stay within their benefits to continue to receive them.
It would be far better if we actually incentivize people to become employed or progress in their career by only slowly reducing these benefits, not just taking them away entirely. Because unless you're going to go and enter some upper middle class job immediately that transition of where you're going to make a bit more money and lose all your benefits, you're actually in a way worse position. Cause you as well may lose things state assistance for education too
So yeah if it encourages single moms or not I'm not sure. But the welfare trap is absolutely real and it absolutely sucks when you're stuck in that part.
>>2257395Also yeah even though I benefited from like section 8 I would agree it's not necessarily the answer obviously. Since as you said, it's only a small percentage of people who may end up qualifying for to be approved for it. So there's still a huge group of people who are completely uncovered and not helped and they are screwed. So definitely should be some expansion where everybody who has some type of lower income or difficulties can receive some form of assistance without through having to jump through a bunch of hoops to maybe qualify.
All of these things should be way easier for people to acquire. Especially since people may not even know where to go to seek out these resources or a lot of people may even have a language barrier to communicate with people to figure out what they need to do. It's really messed up. System really messed up
>>22570021. Either trump is pivoting to be anti-Israel because consensus crack has happened and it’s now impossible for both parties to be pro-Israel. Trump being a natural opportunist is jumping on this fact to reinforce/expand his base of support
2. America is starting to go into full retreat, we’re already at war and we’re losing bad.
>>2257382>I disagree with the CPUSA on several issues and with CPUSAnon in particular on some other things, but at least what he's doing is actually organizing popular support from which you can draw more militants.Thanks for the compliment but I feel like I could be doing more. Thinking of spending a few months trying to read as much of Marx’s work as I can—capital, his letters, essays, etc) and see if I can’t write anything of worth on them. Not as much organizing (personally kind of exhausted dealing with other communists)
>>2257395We need way more public housing but the NIMBYs are making it hard, there should maybe be some shared tools to organize against them. Like I sometimes check out NextDoor to see how psychotic people in my neighborhood and surrounding towns can be, and you occasionally see “THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO BUILD LOW INCOME HOUSING! THEY’RE GONNA RUIN MY PROPERTY VALUES!”
>>2257441There’s a lot of “it’s gonna bring drug users and criminals into our neighborhood!”
Of course it’s a little different for me cause my house isn’t that far from some high crime areas so I can only roll my eyes at the notion that you give someone a home you’re bringing crime in rather than cutting it at its roots. The homeless situation is so bad out here that I’ve seen literal shanties set up beside roads. There’s camps of people living out of RVs next to dilapidated urban buildings like Fallout or some shit.
>>2257517>This is why trump is pushing for Greenland <More courtier drama slopNo.
This is why
>>2257491Everyone kind of acknowledges it, but the “politics” are really narrow. There were ads for the LA times during our last election where there was open talk of cleaning out homeless camps (aka cops going in and forcing people out) and it had this interview with a cop saying “This is a problem, but the activists don’t want us to do anything, but they don’t have any solutions.”
And the solution is pretty simple: state housing. But the problem is you’ve got vested interests in not doing that thanks to landlords and NIMBYs
Judge orders Trump admin to detail legal grounds to deport anti-Israel Columbia activist
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/judge-orders-trump-admin-to-detail-legal-grounds-to-deport-anti-israel-columbia-activist/A federal judge instructs the Trump administration to detail the legal precedent for its plan to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist whose presence in the country the government alleges could harm US foreign policy interests.
District Court Judge Michael Farbiarz in Newark, New Jersey, orders the administration to supply a catalog of every case in which US officials have employed the law being used against Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student who was a leader in anti-Israel protests on campus.
The judge asks to know the specifics behind US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s determination of the risks posed by Khalil’s presence in the US. He gave the government until 9:30 a.m. ET tomorrow to respond.
Khalil was arrested in March at his apartment building in New York City in the presence of his wife, a US citizen. Khalil became a permanent US resident last year and has been detained without charges since his arrest.
The administration is seeking to deport Khalil under a section of immigration law that allows for the deportation of “an alien whose presence or activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences.”

I want a better world for everyone and order brought to the chaos. We are NOT on the same side. You stand in the way, in fact, and you do so willingly.
But more than that, I actually organize in the streets. I have never once even seen a real Nazi show up to any of our rallies, marches, protests or events. You know who IS there, though?
Blackshirts.
You've attacked my comrades more times than I've even seen a Nazi. I've seen blackshirts shove one of my comrades, a 95lb woman, to the ground and try to stomp her out for giving a speech. When I returned the favor and put the little bandit on the ground, it's brood tried to swarm me like the vermin they are. I've seen blackshirts spit on us, throw rocks and bottles at us and show up to our rallies armed with hammers. I've seen blackshirts attack a literal grandmother and bloody her nose.
How am I supposed to take that, besides you are our first, foremost and most dangerous enemy? Both theory and practice are on my side.
I got a concealed carry license not because I'm afraid of Nazis, who have doxxed me and threatened my family, by the way, but because I am afraid that blackshirts will try to hurt my party again. You bandits are active, militant, armed anti-communists and I WILL treat you that way. I say with complete confidence that the next time one of you even lifts a finger against my party, I will send it home to it's brood in a black bag. It's better than you deserve.
>>2257732Yes, it's going to be ok because I am both physically and psychologically prepared for the future. No blackshirt will ever lay a finger on us again and live to tell their brood about it.
Literally the first thing the Bolsheviks did on the first night in Petrograd, before they even declared soviet power on the radio and long before they raised a hand against the Tsar, was send special squads of Chekists under Dzerzhinsky to hunt the anarchist animals to extinction. Their time cannot come too soon.
>>2257741When did I say we should murder leftists?
I said we should exterminate vermin. There's a difference.
The only left wing thing an anarchist can do is die screaming.
>>2257751It's impossible to "murder" vermin.
Murder implies humanity, which you gave up long ago. I view you as lower than a rat or a cockroach, a filthy animal that spreads disease just by being alive. You cannot live amongst humans and should not be allowed to. Our primary goal should be your complete extermination, combined with eternal vigilance to make sure that none of you can ever come back again.
>>2257753Every day 18 babykillers make the right decision. You should make that number 19.
>>2257763I am a published journalist and actual organizer, die mad vermin.
>>2257782In order to dehumanize someone, they must be a human in the first place. You can't dehumanize a rat or a cockroach, because they are not human. The same with an anarchist.
>>2257786I don't care about the socio-economic conditions that led to a hammer being swung at my comrades.
>>2257737>Literally the first thing the Bolsheviks did on the first night in Petrograd, before they even declared soviet power on the radio and long before they raised a hand against the TsarThe tsar abdicated in February. the Bolsheviks overthrew Kerensky's provisional government not the tsar, despite it being depicted that way in awful ahistorical fiction like the Anastasia cartoon movie and The King's Man.
>was send special squads of Chekists under Dzerzhinsky to hunt the anarchist animals to extinction. Their time cannot come too soon.Were they really hunted to extinction if they were involved in the civil war later on? Anyways lay off the weird sectarianism and dehumanization. Also you keep calling anarchists blackshirts. I am not an anarchist but I know blackshirts were the paramilitary wing of the Italian National Fascist Party, not anarchists.
>>2257517>The freedom-city movement reflects a fascination with settling new American frontiers, rooted in nostalgia for the nation’s 1800s western expansion. Expanding to Greenland “can be the dawn of a new Manifest Destiny,” said tech investor Shervin Pishevar, referring to the 19th-century philosophy that America was an exceptional nation with a God-given mission to conquer territory.Thiel, a libertarian and early Trump supporter, wrote in 2009 that he no longer considered democracy compatible with freedom and has advocated escaping politics by colonizing outer space or seasteading — building communities in ungoverned oceans.
Fellow venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, an informal advisor to Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is part of a tech-investor consortium seeking to build a city on grazing land outside San Francisco. Another venture capitalist and informal DOGE advisor, Joe Lonsdale, also promotes low-regulation cities. In a statement to Reuters, Lonsdale celebrated “expanding our country to Greenland” but did not comment on plans for a city there.
Thiel and Andreessen, leading proponents and financiers of the startup-city movement, are among those supportive of a Greenland outpost, two of the sources said. Reuters could not determine whether the two billionaires are actively lobbying the Trump administration for a Greenland city.
Andreessen declined to comment. Thiel spokesman Jeremiah Hall said: “Peter isn’t involved in any plans or discussions regarding Greenland." Musk did not respond to comment requests.
Thiel has invested along with Andreessen and Pishevar in Pronomos Capital, a venture-capital firm that has launched a half dozen charter-city projects globally, according to Pronomos founder Patri Friedman, the grandson of famous free-market economist Milton Friedman. Most Pronomos projects are in development and negotiations with various governments, Friedman said, but it has helped finance one existing startup community in Honduras called Próspera.

>>2257803I said it in the Palestine thread that it gives me no pleasure to admit that Trump may have a psychologically sounder conception of what makes the Houthis tick. The notion of demonstrating strength to get a martial-minded enemy to simmer down and then saluting them for their bravery as a face-saving routine for their honor can make no sense to a liberal-minded person. You either get it or you don't. But honor matters a lot in some parts of the world.
Or it's like, the Western rationalist sees things on a track. Then when things fall of the track, their impulse is to put it back on the track. Like, peace is a track, and conflict is an interruption of the "normal" situation of peace. But what if there is no track? Or one might feel the necessity of resorting to force when honor is on the line? Also some Western leftists who support the Houthis like to project onto the Houthis their own values, but I don't think the Houthis share all of the same values. I've come back here to complain about those leftists because they've gotten onto me and said I was calling them bad people or whatever, but it doesn't make the Houthis "bad." They may be a little bit problematic from the standpoint of the Western enlightenment but I'm not moralizing about them.
I'm not becoming one of these feudal trad people. It's easier to be misinterpreted as an ogrish right-winger when you talk like this. I'm just saying not everybody in the world thinks the same as Michelle Obama or shares the same overarching value system. Like, imagine the Obamas saluting the Houthis on their bravery after bombing the shit out of them. The right-wingers would lose it but they like it when Trump does it.

Holy War on Liberalism and Democracy: Inside the Christian Right’s Role in the Far-Right’s Global Ascent
On April 26 (local time), the funeral of Pope Francis was held at the Vatican. Delegations from 130 countries around the world participated in the diplomatic proceedings of mourning. During his life, the Pope opposed war, criticized Israel’s massacre in Gaza, and, shortly before his passing, met with the U.S. Vice President to advocate for the rights of immigrants. His strong social messages, combined with the global climate of war and conflict, made the “politics of mourning” more complex than ever.
While a few Israeli politicians posted condolences on social media immediately after the Pope’s passing, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs reportedly instructed diplomats to delete their messages. Israeli President Isaac Herzog offered his condolences, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not release any statement.
At the front of the official mourning delegation sat Argentine President Javier Milei, representing the Pope’s homeland. Milei, a far-right libertarian, had infamously called Francis a “fool who defends social justice” during the 2023 presidential campaign. Seated beside him was the representative from Italy, the country surrounding the Vatican. The rest of the seating followed alphabetical order based on French spellings of country names. As a result, former U.S. President Donald Trump, listed as États-Unis (United States in French), was seated ahead of some other leaders. U.S. media noted that this spared him from having to sit next to the President of Ukraine (Ukraine), thanks to the French ordering.
1. Evangelical Protestants Support Trump
In the summer of 2020, protests against racial discrimination erupted across the United States following the death of George Floyd, a Black man. Amid the protests, a video that provoked resentment among white Christian conservatives spread widely. Donald Trump Jr. shared the footage on social media, and far-right figures within the Republican Party amplified the controversy. The video showed protesters in Portland, Oregon, tearing up copies of the Bible. U.S. media later traced the video’s spread and revealed it had been funded by Russia and produced by a German-based video outlet.
Now, five years later, Trump has returned to the White House. His unwavering support base remains evangelical Protestants. According to a Pew Research survey conducted from April 7 to 13, 72% of white evangelicals said they approved of Trump’s performance as president. Among white non-evangelical Protestants and Catholics, approval stood at 51%. Support was significantly lower among Black Protestants, Hispanic Catholics, and religiously unaffiliated Americans.
The sharpest contrast between white evangelicals and other groups appeared in evaluations of the Trump administration’s ethics. While 69% of white evangelicals rated the ethics of senior Trump officials as excellent or good, 62% of the general population rated them as average or poor. Among Black Protestants (88%), the non-religious (76%), and Hispanic Catholics (72%), views were overwhelmingly negative. Three-quarters of white evangelicals supported Trump’s efforts to dismantle DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) policies, shrink the federal government, and cut spending. Two-thirds also supported raising tariffs—stances that significantly diverged from those of other racial and religious groups.
Evangelicalism is a branch of Protestantism that emphasizes the authority of the Bible and the importance of evangelism. It has become synonymous with conservative Christianity in the U.S. and is a core pillar of the country’s sociocultural landscape. Its roots trace back to the 18th-century Great Awakening, and it spans multiple denominations including non-denominational churches, Pentecostals, Baptists, Methodists, and Mennonites. It’s estimated that over a quarter of American Christians identify with evangelicalism.
However, the early evangelical tradition that promoted reform and temperance is now largely a thing of the past. Since the mid-20th century, evangelicalism has morphed into Christian fundamentalism, rejecting evolution and advocating biblical inerrancy. The revival movement led by figures like Pastor Billy Graham helped evangelicals rise as a major political force. From the 1960s onward, they organized under national associations, launched magazines, and founded seminaries to grow their influence. By opposing the civil rights movement and racial equality, they established themselves as the Christian Right and became a key support base for the Republican Party. Ronald Reagan actively courted this group throughout his presidency. In the 2000s, the George W. Bush administration—while responsible for wars that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in Iraq and Afghanistan—pushed anti-abortion policies and banned stem cell research under the guise of being “pro-life,” heavily influenced by the evangelical Christian Right.
2. The Fusion of Xenophobia and Anti-Muslim Sentiment
While the first decade of the 21st century was dominated by the global impact of Islamic extremist violence, the past decade has seen the Christian far-right become a growing force across the world. Not only have American evangelicals come under scholarly scrutiny, but so too have Christian right-wing groups in Europe. This is because the rise of Europe’s far-right, which promotes anti-immigration and anti-Islamic rhetoric, has overlapped with the resurgence of the Christian right.
In fact, the Christian right has been emerging as a significant political force for over half a century. It has taken various forms in reshaping the European political landscape—sometimes by ideologically permeating coalition governments (as in Italy, Slovakia, and Austria), at other times by challenging centrist mainstream politics (such as in Germany), or by cooperating with or aligning itself with far-right parties. The rise of the Christian right has been particularly noticeable in Eastern European countries like Hungary and Slovakia, which have traditionally played a less central role in EU politics. In these countries, Christian right-wing groups have been vocal on issues such as gender, immigration, and welfare, often rolling back democratic norms and civil liberties—serving as a kind of mirror image to the global Islamist movements of the 2000s and 2010s.
The recent surge of far-right movements, driven by a combination of xenophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment, is underpinned by these Christian right-wing forces. Their stance stands in stark contrast to the traditional “Christian democracy” of post-World War II Europe. After the war, Christian churches and Christian Democratic parties played a pivotal role in establishing liberal democratic institutions across Europe. Figures like Robert Schuman and Jean Monnet, Christian Democrats, laid the groundwork for the European Union based on principles of human dignity, social integration, and peace.
Even amid growing secularization and increasing distance from institutional religion, both Catholic and Protestant branches of mainstream European Christianity have continued to influence politics, maintaining a balance between cultural conservatism and social progressivism. Across Europe, models of the relationship between religion and state have varied—from France’s strict laïcité (separation of church and state), to Germany’s cooperative model exemplified by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), to the national churches of Scandinavian countries. Yet in all these cases, churches engaged in dialogue with secular states, helping to develop religious tolerance and social inclusion.
3. Involvement in Anti-Gender, Anti-Abortion, and Anti-Feminism Agendas
Today, the Christian Right is challenging secularism and pluralism, shaking the very foundations of Christian democracy across Europe. Scholars like Italy’s Gionathan Lo Mascolo argue that these groups draw sustenance from the culture wars of American evangelicals, pushing Christian democracy into polarized political terrain. Since the 1990s, U.S. Christian right-wing organizations have strategically supported their European counterparts, providing funding and ideological frameworks. One area where their influence has grown particularly strong is in anti-gender, anti-abortion, and anti-feminist movements—fields in which American Christian right organizations’ European branches and affiliated networks are deeply involved.
One key difference from the American context is the level of interdenominational cooperation. Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox factions have formed alliances with right-wing radicals within their respective traditions. In particular, Orthodox institutions linked to Russia’s authoritarian regime have funneled money and influence into building transnational Christian right organizations within Europe. These strange alliances between Christian fundamentalists and the far right have played a major role in the rise of extreme right-wing forces, and their pro-Russian, pro-Kremlin leanings are evident among far-right groups in France and Eastern Europe.
The campaigns of the Christian Right have also been intertwined with digital technology. In Spain, a group launched a multilingual petition platform called CitizenGO in 2013 to promote conservative values and mobilize supporters across borders. Petitions on the site range from opposing abortion rights in Brazil to criticizing TV programs in Slovenia.
This type of propaganda has increasingly penetrated mainstream media and cultural spaces. The United Kingdom is one of the countries where the fusion of church and far-right politics is especially pronounced. A 2024 report by Hope Not Hate revealed that far-right politics in Britain spans a wide spectrum—from legally banned neo-Nazi groups to trends within mainstream politics. One of the report’s key concerns was that far-right rhetoric in public speeches by politicians is now expressing views that “would have been unimaginable twenty years ago.” For instance, influential figures such as the Conservative Party’s Home Secretary have not outright subverted democracy but have promoted forms of “illiberal democracy.”
This includes rhetoric and actions like white supremacy, racism, homophobia, criminalizing the homeless, intimidating staff outside abortion clinics, controlling women’s rights, and emphasizing “traditional gender roles.” The report refers to this trend as “the mainstreaming of far-right discourse.” Denial of climate change, Holocaust revisionism, and anti-Muslim conspiracy theories are among the many variations of such rhetoric, all of which push citizens toward a “state of hatred.” A survey of 25,000 Britons revealed that 12% to 34% believed in various conspiracy theories, and these beliefs were often tied to a desire to “restore a Christian past” in response to perceived threats from outsiders, particularly Muslims.
Religious scholars point out that religious phenomena, long overshadowed by secularism during the Cold War, began to experience a “revival” in the late 1970s and have reemerged as major political forces since the post-Cold War period. Some argue that the resurgence of religion reflects individuals’ desire to reclaim a blurred sense of identity in the face of globalization. British sociologist Roland Robertson, however, contends that the global religious revival should not simply be seen as resistance to globalization, but as something produced within the process of globalization itself.
Whatever the interpretation, what’s clear is that religion-based movements are now globally challenging secular liberalism and democracy. The far-right in South Korea, waving American and Israeli flags in downtown Seoul, must also be understood as part of this global trend.

>>2258448It all makes sense and everyone would agree for the most part, however it's the incrediblly sophisticated surveillance state we have to deal with. That's like the number one thing.
Someone NEEDS to run the numbers and figure out how to safely organize within these parameters, and publish it.
Because until theirs a systematic approach to counter surveillance in a wildly fascistic state, no one is going to do shit unless they have a death wish (a la Luigi)
>>2258472The number one thing is affordability, not surveillance.
>a la LuigiLuigi didn’t even do it. And the “sophisticated surveillance state” wasn’t even able to prevent the incident in the first place.
>>2258475Look, unless you can prove that what you're doing won't get immediately obliterated by the most militarized police state in history, with a government run by Palintir (who *knows* who YOU are and what you're posting and everything there is to know about you)…
you'll be getting people killed, and only doing accelerationism.
I'm not saying it isn't possible, but you have to PROVE it, and outline it, with painstaking detail and discipline. Not here, obviously. But just because you're operating on what sounds like a bunch, and you're brave enough to try it, doesn't mean other people will follow you, nor should they, necessarily

Anyways. I was only talking about surveillance. I didn’t go into much detail about anything else. Palintir Doesn’t particularly concern me at all. We already live in a surveillance state. One that is more competent, yet still has failed to create a zero incident system. Palintir Is simply nothing more than the harbinger of a significantly less competent surveillance state and nothing more.
Also
>you're doing won't get immediately obliterated by the most militarized police state in historyYou forget that these guys are all unlikable morons. I want you to understand that. They literally have a requirement for low intellect. They are certainly something to be very cautious of (at all times), but they are still very stupid and limited in number.
Overall, I am still most concerned about affordability and general isolation.
Trump kind of betraying Israel lol
https://www.reuters.com/world/under-trump-saudi-civil-nuclear-talks-delinked-israel-recognition-sources-say-2025-05-08/RIYADH, May 8 (Reuters) - The United States is no longer demanding Saudi Arabia normalise ties with Israel as a condition for progress on civil nuclear cooperation talks, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's visit next week.
Dropping the demand that Saudi Arabia establish diplomatic relations with Israel would be a major concession by Washington. Under former President Joe Biden, nuclear talks were an element of a wider U.S.-Saudi deal tied to normalisation and to Riyadh's goal of a defence treaty with Washington.
The kingdom has repeatedly said it would not recognise Israel without a Palestinian state, frustrating Biden administration attempts to expand the Abraham Accords signed during Trump's first term. Under those accords the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco normalised relations with Israel. Progress towards Saudi recognition of Israel has been halted by fury in Arab countries over the war raging in Gaza. The nuclear talks had also stumbled over Washington's non-proliferation concerns.
In a possible sign of a new approach, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said that Saudi Arabia and the United States were on a "pathway" to a civil nuclear agreement when he visited the kingdom in April.
"When we have something to announce, you will hear it from the President. Any reports on this are speculative,” U.S. National Security Council spokesman James Hewitt told Reuters in response to a request for comment.
Saudi Arabia's government media office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Even without the normalisation requirement for civil nuclear talks to progress, and despite unpacking the issue from a wider defence treaty, a deal is not yet in close reach, one of the sources said.
One sticking point is Section 123 of the U.S. Atomic Energy Act that allows cooperation with other countries developing civil nuclear capabilities but specifies nonproliferation criteria including limiting uranium enrichment.
Saudi Arabia's energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman has said that the kingdom would seek to enrich uranium and sell the product.
One of the sources said the kingdom was still not willing to sign a so-called 123 agreement, which would prevent enrichment or reprocessing of plutonium made in reactors - two routes that have the potential to culminate in nuclear weapons.
Secretary Wright previously told Reuters a 123 agreement would be a prerequisite to any deal.
However, there are several ways to structure a deal to achieve both countries' objectives, Wright has said.
One solution being discussed is a "black box" arrangement where only U.S. personnel would have access to a uranium enrichment facility on Saudi soil, the same source said.
SELL MORE OIL
Riyadh wants to build nuclear generation capacity as it seeks to diversify its economy away from oil. Nuclear power could also help free up more crude barrels for export.
Arms control advocates have previously expressed concern about a Saudi nuclear programme because de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has said the kingdom would seek to quickly develop nuclear weapons should its regional rival Iran do so.
The U.S. and Iran are currently holding talks over Tehran's nuclear programme, which Washington and Western allies say is geared towards producing weapons. Iran insists it is purely for civil purposes.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday described the talks with Iran as "so far, so good" and said there was a deal to be made that would reintegrate Iran into the global economy while preventing it from getting a nuclear weapon.
Saudi Arabia and the United States are set to discuss a number of blockbuster economic deals during Trump's visit next week, with the U.S. poised to offer Saudi Arabia an arms package worth well over $100 billion, sources have told Reuters.
Trump has said Riyadh should "round up" a planned investment package in the U.S. to $1 trillion from an initial $600 billion.
The trip is Trump's second visit abroad, after a short trip to Rome for the pope's funeral, since he returned to office in January. In his first term a lavish trip to Saudi Arabia marked his first overseas stop.
Trump fostered close ties with Gulf states including Saudi Arabia during his first term.
The country invested $2 billion in a firm formed by Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and former aide, after Trump left office, and there are plans to build two Trump towers in Jeddah and Riyadh.
Trump says he will replace D.C. U.S. attorney pick Ed Martin
President yields to Senate Republican criticism of Martin’s support for Jan. 6 riot defendants accused of assaulting police and one with Nazi sympathies.
Martin, 55, an ardent Trump loyalist whom the president named to a 120-day interim post on Inauguration Day, can serve until May 20.

>>2258472surveillance only goes so far and it's most vulnerable here in the U.S. What orgs really need to counter from the U.S surveillance state is assassination. That's the power of the surveillance state, they will know where leaders are especially early on. Being able to quickly replace leadership and maintain org continuity is going to be the main meta. The fact most leftist orgs are decentralized actually works in their favor. Orgs need to act as disjointed cells at first with specific objectives that align with the overall broader goal. Perhaps creating or assigning orgs with specific task, I.E we have orgs that focus on protecting protesters, counter-ICE and fascist street thugs. We have other orgs that do specific more dangerous operations(Being vague on purpose). Lastly orgs that focus on recruitment, mutual aid, and other public outreach and administration.
The U.S government is a rotten structure, one kick and the whole thing will come down, after that its dealing with all the rats scattering from the wreckage. Once the cells have established enough local power they will need to coalesce into a united front a form an honest to go real counter government.

This made it very easy to find out who I really am once those articles that only existed in rough draft form were subsequently published under my real name. I have terrible op sec despite writing for a magazine called "covert action." I think everyone who knows my real name is a fed even though I practically doxxed myself.

On Friday, Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge held a news conference to release details and officer body camera footage from the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Ryan Hinton.
The chief emphasized that just “six quick seconds” passed from the time Hinton and three others attempted to flee arrest and when the deadly shots were fired.
Officers found the four men in a stolen vehicle in a parking lot in Cincinnati’s East Price Hill neighborhood, Theetge said, and observed Hinton appearing to hold a handgun as he ran away, she said.
Body camera footage shows an officer shouting, “He’s got a gun! He’s got a gun! On your right! On your right!” Moments later, the footage shows the teen emerging from between two dumpsters, and another officer fires multiple shots.
That officer, a 10-year veteran assigned to the Fugitive Apprehension Squad, is believed to have fired four to five shots, two of which struck the boy, Theetge said.
Officers tried to “to save this gentleman’s life” by administering “different variations of medical aid” until paramedics arrived, the chief said.
The officer who shot Hinton said afterward it looked like the young man’s gun was pointed at him, according to the chief: “He (the officer) felt threatened for his life and that’s why he discharged his firearm.”

>>2259423No, Anarchists are our first enemy. We cannot form a united front against imperialism as long as anarchists continue to exist. They are active, militant anti-communists actively opposed to all attempts to organize the working class, and are proud of it. They should be eliminated with the absolute MAXIMUM possible prejudice and violence at every opportunity.
I know none of you have ever gone outside before, but here in the real world it's basically impossible to organize anything without armed, militant anti-communist blackshirts showing up to ruin it.
Last year we tried to organize a march for May Day and they showed up with hammers. Anarchists want to be taken seriously when they behave like fucking bandits.
How would you have me react to a squad of armed, militant anti-communists showing up to our rally to kill us? Should I welcome them in with open arms?
Nazis are opposed to the government too. Should I form an alliance with them? They are far to the left of even the most "left wing" anarchist.
>>2259879You're ignoring that it's trivially easy for pigs to pose as anarchists (Are they even posing?) because all you have to do is put on a black shirt and a mask, while infiltrating a ML group takes actual time and effort.
One of MANY reasons why Anarchists are an active liability and should always be treated as such. Every anarchist should be assumed to be an undercover pig and should be run out on rails.
>>2259887Anarchism is not only a far-right ideology, it is the farthest right possible ideology as it puts primacy on the individual over the collective. This is basic political science. The fact that we have allowed anarchists to exist, let alone claim to be left wing, is a huge failing of the left.
>>2259890In 3 years of organizing I have yet to see a single fascist or nazi show up at anything we've ever done, yet I would need both hands to count the number of times we've been attacked by armed anarchists.
