🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS  🦅
<Re-industrialization → Re-proletarianization → Re-volution EditionThread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.   🏈 💵
Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™   🌭 🍔

 ADL removes ‘Protect Civil Rights’ from website as it narrows its mission amid right-wing attacks
A recent article by ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt makes clear how the ADL’s focus has changed: He outlined a withdrawal from the group’s commitment to the protection of all vulnerable minorities in favor of a mission centered more exclusively on anti-Jewish hatred.

 >>2543604I asked one of my Chinese friends on rednote if he knew about the IRA. He said he did because he watched some tv show with characters that were in the IRA and he thinks that Irish people are very strong and brave because of it.

 >>2543622It is genuinely incredible to watch the legacy media become senile in real time
 >>2543622I mean I’d say the MAGA types are way more on point about seizing power than the Left to be honest. Plus they actually conjured something resembling a mass movement—though closer to a mob.

 >>2543647I mean it just gets dismissed out of hand because “muh imperialism” but I’ve got friends who’ve seen coworkers kill themselves over being fired and I’ve seen other coworkers of mine break down over the fact they work two jobs and still feel like they’re barely floating above water.

 >>2543630MAGA are only as successful at seizing power because they face zero opposition. Trump and Vance are not as smart or shrewd as they think they are. These people are not evil geniuses or political masterminds. They're just used car salesmen stripping the country for parts as everyone watches but does nothing.
 >>2543665See I’m a bitter cynic in this regard, but I’ve long held that if you think your enemies are just incompetent morons, but they still beat you, what does that say about you?
I mean this as no insult to you personally, but I view Trump’s victory in part as a failure on The Left.
 >>2543663>>2543653Maybe the Democrats have a problem when 60% of college students and 70% of new managerial class jobs since the 00's are women. Maybe the gender divide is real and by design.
nah lets just kill all moids, who needs class analysis
 >>2543667indeed. it says a lot about the state of the left in the USA, or rather it's complete nonexistence, and more broadly about how limited politics are in the USA. where the overton window is placed and what the general public perceive as possible within the system. and how far they are from being desperate enough to act outside of it.
 >>2543661A month max maybe.
 >>2543667There was no American Left in 2015. Bernie running to the Left of Clinton was the first time since 1988 that anyone in national US politics was to the Left of Hitler.
Ignoring that though, that kind of post-hoc analysis is pretty much only one step away from "great man theory" slop. Republicans aren't smarter just because they won against an enemy that was trying to lose. Brazil should've been a proper model for how to handle far-right populist leaders: prosecute them for their crimes against the state and remove their ability to rile people up and they'll quickly be forgotten because populist voters have a very short attention span.
The fact Democrats made no effort to stop Trump doesn't mean much. They wanted to lose.
 >>2543669cishet moids disproportionately drop out of college at a higher rate despite having more opportunities because they think being educated is for faggots (and women). Just like they think cooking, cleaning, going to the doctor, and raising children is for faggots (and women). They cede all social relevancy because they are biologically programmed for raping and plundering nearby tribes. The entire existence of the cishet moid is predicated on a species-wide protection racket they started during hunter gatherer times. The cishet moid says "you need me. Why? Not because I cook or clean or raise children or know things, but because I kill other rapist plundering cishet moids who try to kill you. Ignore the fact that I will do same thing to his tribe given the chance and that without cishet moids on both sides things would be better."
 >>2543665>>2543667>>2543674Broke: Trumpers are the clowns
Woke: We are the clowns.
 All the cishet moid knows is rape kill plunder. he knows not how to wash nor cook nor clean nor think nor build nor plan nor love nor nurture. prove me wrong with action not word, cishet moid. your deception is not required. his number one enabler is the cishet foid who is biologically programmed to need his big beef injection despite his abuse of her. makeup was literally invented to aesthetically recreate black eyes and swollen lips from cishet moid beating cishet foid. this is the depth and degeneracy of the cishets, particularly the moid. his species wide protection racket of militarism, rape, and plunder must be brought to an end. They/Them came. They/Them Saw. He died.
>>2543684>i love to rape plunder and kill, you NEED ME or else the other cishet moid over the hill will rape plunder and kill you instead of me raping plunder and killing his tribewe know, cishet moid, we know you are a protection racketeer and enemy of the non-cishet-moid proletariat
All the non-rapist non-plundering non-killing cishet moids were killed by the evil cishet moids that now rule the earth during the hunter gatherer world war zero. observe this documentary to learn of your origin and, unless you change, your destiny as well
 >>2543653This only indicates that women, on average, are more "liberal" than men, not that men are a lost cause or that women are more intelligent or whatever. Dems/Repubs only care about "strategy", so they prioritize groups like it's a game. This says nothing about our ability to achieve socialism, because most people still can't actually even define it properly (even Mamdani, who's with DSA, doesn't, even if he's perhaps doing so for tactical reasons).
>>2543618That's why orcs are superior to pathetic elf cucks.

can i fix him????????? >>2543677>The fact Democrats made no effort to stop Trump doesn't mean much. They wanted to lose.Ironically this is what can be used to properly build an actual left wing in this country. The Democrats have destroyed their good will with people, or at least most of it. Once the massacres start and when the Dems do nothing that'll be it for people's support for them.
 >>2543687nvm 
bj-chan doesn't distinguish between hetero and non-hetero men, you can have this study as a little treat after you're done fixing that one
>Using original data on mass killings and economic and political conditions in Cambodian communes, we find that genocide exposure is positively associated with women’s economic advancement and present-day indicators of women’s representation in local-level elected office. We conduct in-depth, ethnographic interviews with genocide survivors to explore the mechanisms by which violence spurred women into elected office. >A crucial finding emerges: In areas that suffered the genocide’s worst killings, widows obtained economic autonomy, providing a template for the economic advancement of women in traditional households with surviving men. The shift in norms regarding the sexual division of labor and its transmission through intra-communal and intergenerational pathways allowed women to adopt larger public roles over time. <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3801980&download=yes >>2543672If you go back to the 90's and 00's Dem campaign strategies it literally was about getting women to cancel out their husband's vote and banking on the "professional managerial class" of women voting for their own interests. This has been disastrous for the Dems' support among low income men who just see this as an abandonment of their interests in favor of the petit-bourgeois women.
The Trump era of politics is just a reaction to that political strategy. It's definitely by design.
Both parties have an implicit agreement to push gender politics, and women are shoehorned into the Dem side because Dems are incapable of any kind of opposition. They steamrolled into killing Roe v Wade and Dems did nothing. Now women are just expected to accept it because Dems are the party of losing, and Republicans are the party that hates women.
Then these women go online and just bitch about "moids" all day instead of criticizing the party they voted for failing to protect their interests. It creates an endless feedback loop of frustrated women lashing out on social media, impressionable young men seeing all this "moid" hate and getting chudded because they think women hate them, and the country moving further to the Right as a result.
 >>2543677It's not that they "wanted" to lose, but they obviously weren't willing/prepared to take the steps necessary to win, because to actually do so would go against their capitalist masters.
 >>2543697No, they wanted to lose.
Nothing changed in Kamala Harris's life after losing. She's still obscenely rich, she's still politically influential, and the "political consultants"(including her sister) she paid over a billion dollars to still got paid. The political class is completely insulated from the consequences of their politics.
 >>2543698Nothing really changed in Trump's life when he lost in 2020 either. Does that mean he "wanted" to lose? Of course not. No one "wants" to lose, even if because of their position they're able to capitalize on it for their own benefit. Both arms of capital want to win because they're still composed of individuals who want themselves and their closest allies to most benefit from a direct access to the state.
 >>2543698how rich is kamala?
 >>2543680Unfortunate truth nuke of the most devastating kind.
 >>2543656Dengels Xiaodrich
 >>2543702Trump had a lot to gain from winning. Harris/Biden not really. They had 4 years and did nothing with it. If they had any ambitions they would have pursued them. So I do think the Dems are a party of wanting to lose.
When the GOP lose, their plans are delayed by 4 years. When the Dems lose, the GOP has free reign to do whatever they want for 4 years.
 >>2543695>getting women to cancel out their husband's vote>low income men who just see this as an abandonment of their interestsdo people actually fall for this shit, i mean if those specific campaigns statistically exacerbated the voter gender divide then i must have vastly overestimated the average voter's intelligence
>Then these women go online and just bitch about "moids" all day instead of criticizing the party they voted for failing to protect their interests. It creates an endless feedback loop of frustrated women lashing out on social media, impressionable young men seeing all this "moid" hate and getting chudded because they think women hate them, and the country moving further to the Right as a result."moid-hating feminists" is entirely an artificially inflated problem but then again if actual humans of both genders unironically fell for the first then
 Why did the dirt bag left fail at capturing mainstream left language and having people adjust to that type of talk. It would be way better than what we got now 
>The dirtbag left is a style of left-wing politics that eschews civility to convey a left-wing populist and anti-capitalist message, often using vulgarity. It is most closely associated with American left-wing online media that emerged in the mid-2010s, such as the podcast Chapo Trap House.
The dirtbag left has been described as an anti-fascist, anti-conservative, anti-nationalist, anti-centrist, and anti-liberal ideology.[13] It has been linked to a variety of political stances, including anti-political correctness;[13] anti-inequality;[14] a disregard for civility;[13] opposition to the wealthy and support for redistributive economic policies;[15][14] and support for both the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns of Bernie Sanders.[14] The Iraq War and 2008 financial crisis have been cited as particular radicalizing events for the dirtbag left.[16]
Rhetorically, the dirtbag left is noted as a vulgar, "bawdy offensive balance to cautious mainstream liberal politics",[14] with "a dismissive attitude towards the niceties of liberal political correctness"[15] that frequently direct insults and attacks through social media at specific public figures with political or economic power.[2] The Times of London cited the rise of this rhetorical style as evidence of "the limitations of wokeness as a political force" and an example of the changing nature of politics on the internet.[15]
Despite the connotations of the term dirtbag left, its use is not typically considered derogatory, with The New York Times calling the term "a defense mechanism that doubles as a nickname."[14] Self-identification with the term is indicative of the dirtbag left's tendency toward irony and self-deprecation, with Frost noting that the term "speaks to a lot of people who have been dismissed or chided by liberals for embracing vulgarity, eschewing sanctimony or piety, and refusing to be civil to the right wing", adding that the term "says something positive about what we do believe, and what we’re willing to ruthlessly fight for, regardless of established etiquette."[13] Chapo co-host Will Menaker joked that "if you sleep on a mattress on the floor and fuck in a sleeping bag, then you just might be the dirtbag left",[3] before explaining that he sees the dirtbag left as a "scurrilous and funny approach to left-wing politics" that contrasts "utterly humorless and bloodless" liberalism.[17]
>>2543695>Then these women go online and just bitch about "moids" all daythat shit is mostly a psy op, touch grass and talk to actual people. like even the one ITT right now is so melodramatic and obviously trolling
 >>2543712>an anti-fascist, anti-conservative, anti-nationalist, anti-centrist, and anti-liberal ideology.were they actually any of that
 >>2543708>"moid-hating feminists" is entirely an artificially inflated problemThat's exactly what I'm saying though. They amplify the "moid hating" feminists on all forms of social media to push the gender pol garbage because it only helps far-right policy to make women seem unhinged and make media pundits "question" women's role in politics. They're literally only 1 or 2 election cycles from repealing the 19th amendment. The far-right are talking about this a LOT, and the only response from Dem women is "we'll vote them out and own those incel chuds" and it's fucking crazy how politically suicidal these people are.
>>2543713>obviously trollingTrolling is all fun and games until someone takes it seriously. The internet these days is like 90% about people with a bone to pick fixating on random shitposts and blowing them out of proportion. Sure, 99% of the moid hate shit on twitter is just "trolling" but the people seeing it on their feed don't know what trolling is and just think they're being attacked.
 >>2543669I think a lot of it has to do with interfacing with liberal spaces as a man. The perceived implication behind a lot of rhetoric there is that with problems women face we have to mobilize the whole of society to correct these manifold injustices. Men? It’s a personal issue, give them a lecture on what they should personally do different and leave it at that. Breeds resentment.
 >>2543707Dems are "conservative", so they base their program around benefiting from "stable" capitalism. Repubs are neo-fascists who want to benefit from a different expression of capitalism (state-oriented capitalism, more instability to allow for rapid upward wealth transfer, etc.). Just like how the Spanish Republic pre-civil war benefited from "unequal stability" while the Fascists benefited from "unequal instability". They have different paths to benefiting, but both want to benefit.
 >>2543720>Men? It’s a personal issue, give them a lecture on what they should personally do different and leave it at that. Breeds resentment.The day Dems give me a girlfriend I'll vote Dem.
I've literally had two young conservative women proposition me to go to church with them just so they can get me on their "side." Of course they were wackos but the conservative side are very serious about their recruitment. These women on the right see themselves as agents of God and are willing to do whatever to push GOP policy. Meanwhile, where's my Dem-provided gf? All the Dems ever do is tell me I should feel bad for others but never give me any empathy.
 >>2543653
>women when they realize all that dei crazy batshit talk also targeted them.>>2543629>I’m a Leninistthis is picrel but à l'inverse.
>>2543622>taking seriously any NYT analysisnow, press X to doubt.
 >>2543709>Imperialism is why your friends are sufferingOh fuck off with that horseshit. Every day you call us spoiled brats for living in America and that we’ve got it so good and there’s nothing sympathetic about us or our struggles, that we’ve got a vested interest in imperialism because apparently it gives us so much good shit. You’ll go on and on about how communism will lower our standard of living because we’re “imperialist parasites” or whatever, now you’re trying to lie and say “actually it’s imperialism that causes you to be immiserated!”
>>2543712I’d argue it didn’t catch on because when a popular trend starts on the right they all jump in and when something remotely popular starts on the left you’ll get hordes of retards tripping over themselves to explain why that’s secretly fascism.
>>2543712because its western leftism

 >>2543712>Why did the dirt bag left fail at capturing mainstream left language and having people adjust to that type of talk. It would be way better than what we got now Because the right are willing to say slurs, attack random people, and ruin lives to achieve their political goals.
The "dirtbag" Left are nowhere near that level of dirtbag so they can't win. It's like being in a boxing match with one person fighting with one hand tied behind their back.
You can call the conservatives "incels" and make fun of them all you want but then they're gonna say they'll murder you and your entire family or doxx your address and you have no response because you're too "civil" to stoop to their level of dirtbag.
A true dirtbag Left would be actual tit-for-tat power struggles against the Right. Right now it's just "guy on twitter calls rightoids cringe then Elon doxxes his address and rightoids murder his dog and he deletes his account out of fear".
 >>2543712nice copy paste from reddit.
anyway this sort of analysis is so funny. shows how USA leftists are obsessed with images, projections, presentation, language. whatever success what they understand to be "the dirtbag left" had, it was not because they were crass and vulgar. it was because they discussed real material conditions and advocated for radically different 
policies then the democratic party. all that shit has also been presented by poindexter professor types and they similarly have seen a boost in popularity because what really matters is the discussion and attempt to change material conditions into a state which is not even discussed by establishment democrats. they "failed" because they were sabotaged by establishment democrats. but anyway, even the ultimate exponent of that energy within "legitimate politics", could only advocate for national socialist policies and did not dare question or challenge the foundational global abuses on which USA prosperity, unequal as it might be internally distributed, depends.

>>2543698>No, they wanted to lose. Nothing changed in Kamala Harris's life after losing. She's still obscenely richShe'd probably be richer if she won though. Like, what do you mean she didn't WANT to be president? Of course she did.
> and the "political consultants"(including her sister) she paid over a billion dollars to still got paid. The political class is completely insulated from the consequences of their politics.I agree with this THOUGH. You're absolutely right about this.
The Democrats are just so corrupt from all the money and what you might call the consultant-industrial complex. There's just a huge amount of corporate donor money that goes into these elections which goes to pay this empire of political consultants who write the scripts, make the ads, hire vendors, and blow the money on boondoggles like this while taking a cut themselves. It's not that they want to lose, but for decades they've been shaped by the sort of research on strategic messaging that emerges out of academic communications programs. Nothing improvised, loose, human: stay on message, prompter, talking points. People are suspicious of it all because it's clear that it's false, and that they're being manipulated into voting for a candidate packaged like a Funko Pop. Because the basic purpose is to manipulate people, though I think it also reflects the psychology of the individuals involved in making this dreck.
And they keep getting waylaid unexpectedly. Trump's improvisational style just flattened the proponents of this approach, which had its Republican versions as well. To the extent that this relates to what people dislike about radlibs/SJWs/political correctness, it's really that the kind of anxiety about the supposed real or original meanings of words and images – an extreme logophobia and logophilia which an obsession for such people – never made any empirical or theoretical sense or helped them accomplish anything. It just fouled them in a thicket of disabling superstitious hooey. Amazingly, however, someone on the left appears to have also realized this.
>>2543712>Why did the dirt bag left fail at capturing mainstream left language and having people adjust to that type of talk. It would be way better than what we got now I think people right now are responding better to what Mamdani is doing, and what he said here today, which reminds me of Zizek talking about the left becoming a kind of "common decency" party. What people like about Mamdani is that he treats everybody – literally everybody – with a certain minimum standard of respect. Zizek's argument was that the insane language policing on the left was itself bound up in a collapse of any basic or minimum moral standards so everyone perceives everyone around them as a threat.
 >>2543738>1864i hate to break this to you but this was one of his many little autistic fixations and if you look at the complete works of marx & engels like 80% of it before and still after this letter is him begging engels for cash lol. also, if having money would never be considered contradictory to communism, why would he expect it to be surprising?
btw i am not same kneejerk anti-"dengist" or whatever, i am gang watch-wait-organize-at-home, but the "deng scroll" is full of weirdly dishonest and irrelevant shit like this
 >>2543744>What people like about Mamdani is that he treats everybody – literally everybody – with a certain minimum standard of respect.It's not about how he treats others, but rather that he's focusing on economic conditions (even if only using socdem language) with idpol as a supplement, rather than using idpol as the main argument with economic issues being an afterthought. There's always been an appetite for socialism under the surface if we can just tap into it with the proper messaging to overcome the mental barrier of 24/7 propaganda and a lack of class consciousness.
 Yo Felix add me on Session. I’m not a fed or anything. I’m not even American

>>2543744I think dirtbag left was probably necessary in an era where most of the right wing shitflinging against leftists was they were cucks and snowflakes. Dirtbags were like "no we can be mean and cruel too, look!" Maybe if people are tired of that we can go back to respectable
 >>2543727The fact is the Right uses what it sees work. The Left will fight over it in the name of dogma. If there’s a piece of Media that the Right idiotically wants to claim, it claims it, if there’s a strategy that gives them an advantage they use it. Shit, look at Milo Y. He appropriated this queeny kind of flamboyantly gay aesthetic for the Right. Shit like Warhammer 40K? Also appropriated for the Right.
Meanwhile if you use a media comparison on the Left? “Erm, don’t you KNOW that it’s secretly fascist?” The struggle session leftypol had over Andor was a great case of this. The Left doesn’t just actively refuse to recuperate anything, it 
tries to hand it over to the right. It declares “no no no, this thing everyone likes? Fascism.” In some cases it makes sense, like Call of Duty or whatever, but in others it’s just absurd. The Right will recuperate even communists if it benefits them (Casapound in Italy praised Castro, Che, and the Cuban Revolution. You’ve got modern Russia and Stalin.) but the Left actively attempts to drive things from itself.
There was some case in France I believe where one left wing minister said something like “the ideal French meal should be a glass of wine and a steak for everyone!” Only for his comments to come under fire and get chided by another left wing minister because he’s clearly saying Vegans or Muslims don’t matter.
For fucks sake I had a dude claim it was “proof” I was a “fascist patsy” because I recommended the film “Incantation” for some horror movie watchlist for Halloween. Oh but dear-oh-dear, it was made in Taiwan and therefore it can only ever be fascism. I once said that customers who don’t put their carts away are “dogs” and oh lord, clearly that means I support animal cruelty and hate the disabled rather than just venting about selfish cunts.
Should a man run as a communist for, I dunno, city council and 
win the Left will be the first to denounce him. They’ll take his victory as proof of selling out. Whatever stumbling block the person in question experienced will be magnified ten times by the rest of the Left actively trying to sabotage him. He will be told he has the wrong tendency, that his failing are evidence of a deeper nefarious intent, an intent that reveals the secret fascist monster underneath—because leftists can’t succeed, never, not in this world. Anyone who does must not be on the left, and must be torn down because of it. If a guy on the right has an affair then the rest of the right will mobilize to kill the news and declare the people spreading it to be liars. If a man on the left has an affair then the people spreading the news will be on the left, he will be told it’s proof he was never on the left, that anyone who supports him is not on the left.
The dirtbag left was a decent enough concept, but where it failed was that it was peripheral to the left.
 >>2543761he is a genuine, ideological reactionary as well as a career opportunist AND he isnt completely retarded. so he's able to ride the wave of right-populist anti-israel sentiment and its ultimately easier for him bc he is not retarded enough to actually believe in zionism
 >>2543765oh and as far as the VZ stuff: its not a heelturn as much as its effectively being more ideologically consistent in appealing to trumps actual popular base among the majority of americans who are actually poor AND/OR highly precarious, and inculcated into reactionary americanist culture, and genuinely are sick & tired of "foreign intervention"
 >>2543724
>now you’re trying to lie and say “actually it’s imperialism that causes you to be immiserated!”it is. nta, but indeed it is. in part because the best goodies are hoarded by your rich parasitic class that also parasites external forces.
fuck, if the wealth distribution along the US were less horrible, if it were egalitarian, you'd be driving a Ducati, and not calling the AAA to get assistance over your shit on wheels you call car.
 >>2543769>”you’re a rich parasite but also wealth distribution will make you richer but your lifestyle is unsustainable and should be actively harmed but also imperialism is making your life miserable.”Fucking gobbledygook. You can’t simultaneously claim I’m some “rich parasite” for the crime of being a goddamn grocery store clerk then claim “erm actually ending imperialism will make you richer!”
 >>2543712>Why did the dirt bag left fail at capturing mainstream left language and having people adjust to that type of talk. It would be way better than what we got now it failed for the same reason communism failed:
you have a fucking intelligence agency that is philosophically antagonistic, diametrically opposite to whatever crap threatens capitalism.
as Marx said:
>The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas.since your ruling class is anti-communist, highly pro-capitalist, you won't get chances easily. it's a constant effort.
where is chapo trap house? banned from reddit. and that's how every little person that really threatens power gets treated, gets disfranchised, marginalized, and arrested and disappeared if necessary.
that's all.
 >>2543770you are obtuse, so let me list things for you to make it clearer:
1)Ending imperialism will make you poorer if you are committed to stop the plunder abroad. generally, it'll make people richer in the world.
2)Ending imperialism will make you richer if you are not committed to stop the plunder abroad and only redistribute the wealth plundered abroad plus keeping the plunder.
 >>2543761why is he blaming gays for venezuela?
 >>2543772how does point number 2 count as ending imperialism
 >>2543774numbers don't lie, statistics don't lie. I'll know that the US is crumbling, when the net migration balance starts to be in red numbers. until then, it is what it is.
 >>2543772So basically I should be homeless and starving because “hurr durr, muh IMPERIALISMSSSSS” on behalf of people I don’t know and whose only real interaction with is some crab bucket shit where they explain how badly they want us to suffer. And you think that’s a remotely rational choice to make?
>>2543774The funny part is when I was 6 I had some idea of Hollywood as “tinsel town” with all these bright colorful mansions and fabulous streets. Then you go there and you see it’s a shithole.
 >>2543778exactly, it isn't, succdemagogery it's what resumes point 2, because in reality you haven't ended exploitation.
examples of that is the "Marxist"-filled* German SPD under Scholz: a bunch of programs for equality, but you never ended exploitation from abroad, thus you get a little bit of reform, and that's that.
*: literally, go to the SPD website and look the humongous library they have online, all with Marx, Engels, and their policy papers based on the German philosophers.
>>2543781>on behalf of people I don’t knowthere you go, CPSUSAnon revealed his reactionary nature.
also, who said you will get homeless and starving?
your house won't be valued 300k, 400k, 500k, 1kk, 2kk dollars under speculative markets. that's all.
 >>2543782it's reactionary for a burger to not know random proles from a third world country?
 >>2543782I don’t have a home you fucking retard, I can’t afford one. I rent. Telling me I’ll get poorer at my current position means homelessness you fucking jackass. You’re literally saying you’re gonna throw my friends and families living standards to the dark ages but “oh it’s IMPERIALISM that’s REALLY immiserating you.”
 i think cpusanon wants to be homeless or something. he keeps mentioning that and other sadistic punishments for themselves when no one else does.
>>2543780Then you don’t know how to read them, and you’re invoking them without figures re: distribution and demographic breakdown to justify sucking off Vibes Bullshit (TM)
 >>2543783>it's reactionary for a burger to not know random proles from a third world country?he's presenting a clear argument to dismiss imperialism in the name 
who cares about people I don't know, the same way regular people dismiss that bombs fall over the heads of Palestinians because they don't see it, they don't know them, and they 
want us to suffer (he bases his conclusions picking up the attacks from trolls ITT, in the same way right-wingers base their conclusion on Palestinians wanting to make the US/West to suffer because, in both cases, they are reactionaries).
how's that not clear to you?
 >>2543787>Then you don’t know how to read themyou sure do.
>and you’re invoking them without figures re: distribution and demographic breakdownmany edges, no point: "distribution and demographics" don't contradict the nature of migratory influxes.
>>2543785>I don’t have a home you fucking retard, I can’t afford one. I rent.did I say you had a home? I am telling you in the hypothetical case the US finally achieves 
true socialism, and you get a cheap house. y'all be poorer because your houses won't be valued in the 5 digits (inb4 inflation), but you'll have a roof. you are denser than a foggy day, besides being reactionary.
 >>2543782burgers under 40 increasingly don’t own homes and live paycheck to paycheck. You’d know this if you actually read the numbers instead of going off sakaoid vibes.
Like seriously, the non-burgers ITT are completely out of touch and are just showing that they’re ironically dupes of imperialist propaganda by working off a manufactured image of life here
t. I don’t own a home either.
 >>2543790>Tell someone you’re going to impoverish them<“Fuck you, I’m not gonna be homeless”>”Um ACTUALLY you idiot ‘I’m gonna make you poorer’ and ‘I’ll destroy your standard of living to end imperialism’ actually means you’ll get richer! You’re stupid if you can’t figure this out.”How fucking stupid are you?
>>2543786If you say “I’m going to make you poorer” and all I’ve got is a dollar in my hands, I’m going to take you at your word and assume you want to take my last dollar. You’re genuinely profoundly stupid if you can’t understand this.
 >>2543774Hell, a lot of burgers believe the tinsel propaganda, too. Film was the most powerful propaganda tool before the algorithmic controls replaced it, but when the narratives went against lived experiences the propaganda was a hard sell to those tethered to reality. Social media is a tool they created to bend reality to the point of denial and detachment from it.
 >>2543799
you know in class conflict the motivating factor is self interest right? not some abstract moralistic horror at the totality of the system or whatever
>>2543791>burgers under 40 increasingly don’t own homes and live paycheck to paycheck. You’d know this if you actually read the numbers instead of going off sakaoid vibesyou think I don't know those statistics? now, imagine how bleak things are away from the west. 
IMAGINE HOW BLEAK THINGS ARE. I am asking you to exercise that, comming from a person that have studied the US politics, economics, culture, society, history, sciences, and religions for years. fuck, I've been told ITT over the years by other Americans 
how the fuck do you know that countless of times, so many times I've lost count. I know those statistics. And I know why the migratory influx is net positive for Americans.
>>2543793>I’ll destroy your standard of living to end imperialism’ actually means you’ll get richer!lmao, you are not a smart cookie, aren't you?
I never said that.
yes, you'll get materially poorer, in the sense of speculative value (or in the classic Marxist sense, 
market value) but you'll get rights, you'll get modest resources but enough to get through life. you'll get less trinkets, bric-a-brac, but you'll get what you need.
 >>2543770You and all other imperialists will indeed become richer but in a human buddhalike sense once WW3 happens and eradicates the basis of your existence. The greatest richness for imperialists is redemption in gulag or grave
 >>2543801a lot of the difference in quality of life between americans and thirdies is overstated, when you consider shit like exchange rates, costs of goods, lack of universal healthcare, car ownership being mandatory, wealth inequality, etc. the numbers you see for average wage on a world map doesn't tell the whole story.
 >>2543797Literally right here:
>>2543772>Ending imperialism will make you poorer if you are committed to stop the plunder abroad. >>2543742does the senate parliamentarian agree to this?
 >>2543804yeah, sure, that's right. I agree.
 >>2543761When my pops was still alive this guy was on cee en en. He thought this guy was a state dept stooge cos of his military background, but I think this guy is trying to find himself in his own pop's shadow.
 >>2543814Tucker is doing the 2000's Alex Jones bit of being the libertarian pacifist anti-imperialist voice of conservatism but never actually being a threat to the government. He'll eventually pivot to selling male enhancement supplements.
 >>2543811
proof?
>>2543801You’ll get poorer means, objectively, my situation will get worse. If I have a dollar it means I’ll have a dollar less. Don’t try to pretend “you’ll get poorer” means anything other than that. Don’t threaten people with poverty then get surprised when they react negatively.
 >>2543814Okay, so maybe he is a state dept stooge after all. It was funny how he hosted the groyper kid who threatened the juice overtly after his 'interview' on his own platform while goebbels wife went on the Aussie asset's show and caused the Armenian genocide denier of anti semi tism and threatened to deport him. She shat herself in public worse than any other shattening.
 >>2543819Tucker is on Putin's payroll, and Putin(and Dugin) hates gays. It's not a global conspiracy he literally works for RT. There's nothing deceptive going on here.
 >>2543822>these reactoids trying to save venezuela to protect a "chrsitan country"i feel like i'm in that stonetoss rope pulling meme
 >>2543821Well, serving as a distraction and harvesting data while being consistently inconsistent seems a bit deceptive to me.
 >>2543829wish i knew of any such parties
 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
            Only this and nothing more.”
    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
    From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
            Nameless here for evermore.
    And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
    So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
    “’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;—
            This it is and nothing more.”
    Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
“Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
    But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
    And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the door;—
            Darkness there and nothing more.
    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
    But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
    And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”—
            Merely this and nothing more.
    Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
    “Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice;
      Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore—
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;—
            ’Tis the wind and nothing more!”
    Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
    Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
    But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
            Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
“Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”
            Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
    Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore;
    For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
    Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door—
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
            With such name as “Nevermore.”
    But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
    Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered—
    Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before—
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.”
            Then the bird said “Nevermore.”
    Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
“Doubtless,” said I, “what it utters is its only stock and store
    Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
    Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore—
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
            Of ‘Never—nevermore’.”
    But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
    Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
    Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore—
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
            Meant in croaking “Nevermore.”
    This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core;
    This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
    On the cushion’s velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o’er,
But whose velvet-violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o’er,
            She shall press, ah, nevermore!
    Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
    “Wretch,” I cried, “thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee
    Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore;
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!”
            Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
    “Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!—
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
    Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted—
    On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore—
Is there—is there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me, I implore!”
            Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
    “Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both adore—
    Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
    It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.”
            Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
    “Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting—
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
    Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
    Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”
            Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
    And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
    And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
    And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
            Shall be lifted—nevermore!
Poe was an American, so it counts as American politics
>>2543776>why is he blaming gays for venezuela?Yeah that's strange. Maduro isn't really anti-gay… okay they don't have gay marriage but when I think of a homophobic regime, I'm not thinking of Venezuela. And it's not like Rubio is saying we 
need to attack Venezuela because they oppress gay people. That's not what the Trump administration says when they want to bomb the bejesus out of somebody. I think this kind of thing is now a shibboleth among reactionary critics of imperialism (yes they exist too), and in some pseudo anti-capitalist rhetoric, like if it wasn't for Pride parades then Occupy Wall Street would've … I dunno. But what they're really just smearing gays, like we're the problem. Maybe part of the problem is actually the president Tucker Carlson shilled for at his rallies.
>>2543815>Tucker is doing the 2000's Alex Jones bit of being the libertarian pacifist anti-imperialist voice of conservatism but never actually being a threat to the government. He'll eventually pivot to selling male enhancement supplements.Alex Jones has also pivoted to SUPPORTING attacking Venezuela. He's a Monroe Doctrine regime changer now. They like to play the angles.
 >>2543818>Don’t try to pretend “you’ll get poorer” means anything other than that. positive for moron.
you don't want to understand how the 
shenanigans work, it's up to you. you are the sole culprit of reacting negatively, because you don't want to listen to the truth, and with that, you don't want to reconcile the contradiction beneath it.
fucking shit, I've seen military soldiers in movies, in talkshows, in podcasts, getting the concept of imperialism easier and better than you, every time they say: it's thanks to 
us the American way of life exists, 
we did it (on every accusation of human rights violations) 
because it was to preserve the American dream. they fucking got it, they got it in the blink of an eye, and you are here obtusely evading a simple explanation.
gee, no wonder communism has failed in the US, besides all the state efforts put in motion to stop it. it also plays a role that communists in the US can't lure the average people into the movement because they can't simultaneously explain they'll get a modest but honest life while convincing them that they'll get 
true emancipation.
 >>2543822Making this about Christianity is what I mean by distraction and diversion. Nobody mentions the word oil, which is what this is really about. Gatekeeping is about muddying the waters and then monitoring the results.
 >>2543842
why do you keep making hypotheticals of cpusanon being presented with an all-powerful button where he kills everyone on earth in exchange for a treat? why can't you criticize his behavior as it actually exists, embedded in society?
>>2543844The right became massively anti Ukraine by seeing zelensky as a fag and thinking Soros controls Ukraine. They are not that hard to convince when you play to their culture war stuff. You don't need to tell the truth when your end game is to convince a person. Tucker is a propagandist his goal is to convince with this, not knocking him for that at all but some people are way too focused on giving facts of the matter which won't even convince these right wing types 
Going thru maiden talk and nato and blah blah won't convince a right wing guy. Telling him Putin hates fags and zelensky wants to make Ukraine pro fag. That Putin is against Soros and zelensky is pro Soros will already make them hate Ukraine
 >>2543816Nah see the way it goes is if I say something it’s always taken in the most uncharitable and hyperbolic way possible. One of the things he’s on lately is me saying I can understand working class Americans could be completely alienated and deeply off-put by the hippie aesthetic of the new left in the 70s and saying that means I supported the hard hat rioters or something cause understanding how weird a dude with long hair calling himself “Speckled Starchild” would be to a dude who grew up maybe in the 50s with those cultural standards means I 100% support everything they do.
But if they say something as straightforward as “you will get poorer because of communism” or, in Felix’s case, “America must be destroyed” they’re actually using this super-special interpretation of language that no one but them uses and is constructed in a purposefully inflammatory. No matter how many times they get into endless arguments based presumably on an “incorrect” interpretation of their language they’ll never at any point make an attempt to clarify or change how they talk because it’s everyone else’s job to be overly charitable to them.
 >>2543849Which by the way this is the same way Keith woods types presented China to make it sound based. The right wing duginist types take this approach. You won't convince a right winger to accept to accept China at all by talking about their economy and opportunity. You are better off showing them LGBT shit from Taiwan, how Taiwan has woman leaders and how Taiwan meets with "globalist". Then drill into them china being against some gay crap even if true and how Soros does not like China
I think I should just get a job at rt this stuff is so simple

 >>2543851Also I remember some right wingers even saying lukashenko was based cause they said he rejected some covid vaccine shit and some loan. Right wingers are so retarded you can convince them so easily. Same as you can make them pro Palestine by hyper focusing on churches hit in Gaza, show them Israelis spitting on Christians, show them priest from Gaza and show them ultra Zionist types shit talking Christians. It's so easy.
 >>2543851Haha! Yeah, I realize the culture warrior can't be reasoned with but there are ways to break the spell if one can summon critical thinking from the reactionary. I agree tho, this is lazy propaganda and a bit cliché at this point, especially the soros stuff that should've died with Rush and I don't mean the cool one. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiRuj2_czzw >>2543858You’re literally quoting something you wrote yourself under my name. I literally got the trip code cause you kept pulling shit like that Felix.
 >>2543859pf. bs. in that thread you hadn't started tripfaggin'. and no, I am not Felix. I bet I can find the thread: 
>>2543598 >>2543860I mean Felix straight up tried to pretend he didn’t cum on a pic of Putin so he’s not exactly a truthful guy. Secondly that’s obviously not how I write in the pic—most people complain I write too much. Thirdly the whole violent seething fantasy where you drone on about people you want to kill is more Felix’s bag, I don’t do that.
Finally it’s written in the most obvious “Grr, I’m a bad guy, look at me doing bad guy stuff” way. Like, fantasizing about Batman beating protesters? The whole “what would my favorite pop culture figure say about X political event” has been meme’d so much as obvious cringe that I doubt anyone on this board would do it unironically.
Yknow for being such a “bad guy” supposedly you’d think people wouldn’t have to blatantly lie to find evidence of my supposed evilness.
 >>2543829this shit will give you a reason to live. if I dont view myself as a winner I cant start really winning, so for now on call me King W the way im gonna be stacking the wins. 
almost wanna post her IG
 >>2543829>>2543865what makes you think any of us get invited to halloween parties? is this just you bragging that you had sex?
i've never been invited to a party in my life man it's not due to my own cowardice.
 >>2543866if you can't organize a party, you cant organize a revolution
 >>2543864aha, ok, I guess. I am satisfied with the explanation. simply don't talk down people explaining things to you.
I erased that screenshot out of my lpol folder.
 >>2543868how many sex parties do you think Mao or Lenin went to?
chads are not welcome in the revolution. only monogamous men that still believe in love.
 CPUSA and Iron Felix have a gay relationship on this board
>>2543866An anarchist invited me to a party once. That's literally the only time I've ever been invited to a party in my entire life, through all of grade school and college.
Perhaps I should give up on life. Shit isn't getting any better.
I'd probably kill myself if I could do so in a way that would be assured to help bring about communism.
>>2543871They are tsundere for each other.
 >>2543873what one person could you assassinate that would cause communism to happen
 >>2543866I told a girl in highschool once that my parents were gone for the weekend and was later accosted by half a dozen kids who wanted to throw a party at my house. I walked away because I was a sheltered christian weenie boy who didn't want to get in trouble. I should have taken them up on it. The memory of that would have been better than whatever punishment I got for it.
 >>2543869Ehh respect is reciprocal for me. Someone starts throwing around "OH YOU'RE A FASCIST! YOU'RE A FASCIST! YOU'RE A REACTIONARY!" or tries to blatantly be inflammatory I've got little patience for that. Misunderstandings though? Look as long as there's an actual attempt to clarify things I've got a lot of patience for that.
My contention with the "you will be poorer because your lifestyle is imperialism blah blah blah" stuff has always been that, beyond just being extremely bad optics that intentionally demoralizes people, it's just blatantly untrue.
I can't afford a home, neither can any of my friends. "You will be poorer, housing will go from $300k to $100k!" isn't just not applicable to us, it's fucking laughable. Buying a house in California for $100k? Dream come true, sign me up. I wouldn't be getting poorer because of that, I'd be getting richer.
I don't buy much, most of the furniture I've got is old stuff that some better-off cousins were getting rid of. I wore the same pair of shoes for something like 5 or 6 years, well past the point the soles had worn down. I'm not some conspicuous consumer, I don't give a fuck about the latest goodies or shit, I want a fucking home and to not have the threat of being left to die in the streets looming over my head. But all I hear from supposed "comrades" is:
>"Well we're gonna make life so much worse for you and everyone you know!">>2543875Two shitposts. Literally that's it. And it was mostly just drawing a parallel between the two because they're both extremely annoying redheads with some holier than thou stick up their ass.
Honestly it's still a funny comparison because of just how similar the character is to Felix.

 >>2543878I don't think they actually have a thing, because Vance is gay and Usha is his beard.
He might replace her for Erica Kirk if the optics of having a white wife increases his odds of becoming president, but they will not have sex.

>and support it either consciously or not.first you say they do it totally consciously (eyes open) and now you imply they may or may not be conscious… I think the more accurate position is there are various levels of consciousness from one individual to the next. some people are totally complicit and other people are totally ignorant; and not just babies either, but sometimes full blown adults, and not just privileged adults who live in a bubble, but people with other fish to fry just don't think about geopolitics the way you do. like consider for example someone for example who like has a child with cancer. all their energy and time is going to be put into that. they aren't going to pay attention to geopolitics. I think a mistake a lot of people on here make, regardless of sectarian leaning, is they conflate ignorance on the particular subjects they are uniquely interested in with total complicity for the negative shit surrounding that subject. and honestly this happens in real life too. experts in general get mad at laymen for not being clued in the way they are. There's a certain level of ignorance that seems unforgivable or willful but without knowing whether a given person has like learning disabilities or shit like that it's impossible to judge their character.

 Russian Minorities Escaping Discrimination Now Face U.S. Deportation
< Hundreds of Russia’s indigenous and ethnic minority members fled to the United States to escape generations of racism, reports The Moscow Times. Now, under Donald Trump’s tougher immigration policies, many risk being deported back to the country they fled.
A Hidden Refugee Group
< These minorities form a quiet but significant share of Russian asylum seekers in the U.S. Meduza notes that many who thought they had escaped Vladimir Putin’s rule now face forced return — and possible prison or death.
Arrested at Work
< Aleksander Bolohojev, a 41-year-old truck driver from Buryatia, was detained by ICE agents in Oklahoma while on duty. His friend said he wasn’t allowed to take his phone or wallet, and his truck was left unlocked. Bolohojev had sought asylum to escape racial persecution against his Mongolic Buryat people.
From Safety to Peril
< Bolohojev belongs to a U.S.-based Buryat independence group opposing Russia’s war in Ukraine. If deported, his supporters fear he’ll be arrested by Russia’s security service upon arrival.
Wider Crackdown
< Similar stories are emerging: activists like Leonid Melekhin and soldier Artyom Vovtsenko were deported and detained immediately in Russia. Human-rights groups estimate around a thousand Russians are now held in U.S. immigration centers awaiting uncertain fates.

 US President Donald Trump has slashed the cap on annual refugee admissions from 125,000 to 7,500, the lowest level in American history.
In a notice published in the Federal Register on Thursday, Trump argued that the new limit was “justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest.”
He added that the admissions would “primarily” be allocated among white South Africans, as well as “other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands.”

 US President Donald Trump may have inadvertently revealed that Washington is violating a strategic arms reduction treaty with Moscow by boasting about America’s supposed nuclear supremacy, a senior Russian lawmaker has said.
Writing on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump declared that “the United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country,” adding that “Russia is second, and China is a distant third.” The statement appeared to contradict the parity limits established under the New START treaty, said Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma’s Defense Committee.
“Does Trump mean that they have been deceiving us all this time?” Kartapolov asked. “If so, we were absolutely right to continue developing our advanced weapons.”

U.S. Officer Sought To Convince Maduro's Pilot To Divert His Flight So He'd Be Taken By American Forces, Report Claims
The pilot ended up retiring without accepting the offer from agent Edwin Lopez
https://www.latintimes.com/us-officer-sought-convince-maduros-pilot-divert-his-flight-so-hed-taken-american-forces-590980US sought to lure Nicolás Maduro’s pilot into betraying the Venezuelan leader
https://apnews.com/article/dhs-plan-capture-maduro-pilot-planes-7915d5a0819ceb518a8ca2b47da8b2e5The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald, as the U.S. prepares to initiate the next stage of its campaign against the Soles drug cartel. The planned attacks, also reported by the Wall Street Journal, will seek to destroy military installations used by the drug-trafficking organization the U.S. says is headed by Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and run by top members of his regime. Sources told the Herald that the targets — which could be struck by air in a matter of days or even hours — also aim to decapitate the cartel’s hierarchy. U.S. officials believe the cartel exports around 500 tons of cocaine yearly, split between Europe and the United States.
 “Maduro is about to find himself trapped and might soon discover that he cannot flee the country even if he decided to,” the source said. “What’s worse for him, there is now more than one general willing to capture and hand him over, fully aware that one thing is to talk about death, and another to see it coming.”
Administration officials say the task force will shift operations ashore because traffickers are now less willing to risk voyages that can be detected and targeted at sea. The sheer scale of the deployment has led many analysts to conclude that the mission’s ultimate aim is the removal of the Maduro regime, though U.S. officials have provided few specifics about any planned actions inside Venezuela. Most experts doubt the United States intends a prolonged occupation—a stance Trump reiterated during his campaign for a second term. “What he favors are targeted operations, like the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, or attacks on Iran’s nuclear installations,

 >>2544195>On 21 February 2019, during the Venezuelan presidential crisis, Carvajal made a video in support of Juan Guaidó as interim president of Venezuela and criticized Nicolás Maduro's presidency. Carvajal called for Venezuelan military forces to break ranks and to allow the shipping of humanitarian aid to Venezuela.cringe
>Carvajal was arrested in Spain by local authorities in 2019 at the behest of the U.S. government. His extradition to the United States to stand trial for drug trafficking was not carried out after a Spanish court rejected the American request.[22] The denial was appealed and then overturned in 2019 but Carvajal had disappeared by that point. In September 2021, he was arrested again by Spanish authorities after hiding out in Madrid for two years.[23] His asylum claim was denied in October 2021 and his extradition was approved to go forward. The extradition was put on hold again after Carvajal appealed to the European Court of Human Rights.[24]

So maybe it's something "unspeakable" or whatever.  it kinda reminds me of the briefcase in pulp fiction, where you have no idea what's inside it you just see how people react to it.

 >>2544223yarvin has contradicted his absolutist position before by suggesting that a CEO dictator be regulated by a board of directors. if we look at constitutional legal history (1188-): 
>>2528336we see that a council or parliament is a contract established the midst of class war between royalty and nobility, which ultimately ends by the granting of equal rights to adversaries (i.e. a separation of powers)
if yarvin believes in a "board of directors" he has already forfeited absolutism for managerialism (withna CEO already acting as an honourary manager anyway), since real power is with the shareholders (i.e. the board).

Socialists are terrified of the idea of ending imperialist resource extraction because they are also the same class of labor aristocrat settler parasites who similarly delude themselves as Zionist libertarian socialists: "there are no resource limits, Elon Musk will save the environment by reading Ursula LeGuin and becoming a woke Star Trek utopian idealist like me"

>>2543772>Ending imperialism will make you poorer if you are committed to stop the plunder abroad. generally, it'll make people richer in the world.no it won't. Read Chapter 3 of Fascism and Social Revolution by Rajani Palme Dutt. Capital destroys commodities and human beings (labor power) in a contrivance to raise prices. They start wars in a contrivance to raise prices. We already have abundance but it is wasted. The American bourgeoisie and their lackeys throw out over half the produced food, for example, before it even leaves the grocery store. Food is thrown out in homes too but it is mostly thrown out in the factory-farm, and grocery store. When milk prices get too low due to oversupply, they pour milk down drains by the millions of gallons after sucking it out of the corn-fed cows. There is so much tremendous waste to raise prices, and it occurs at the domestic level, not even counting what horrible things are done abroad by imperialism. to end imperialist war and develop the productive forces and plan the economy and decrease waste through increasing the efficiency of distribution networks would lower prices (and therefore increase the wealth of the average person by decreasing their spending and increasing the purchasing power of their wages ) even if the population (really the bourgeoisie 9 times out of 10) did no longer benefit from imperialism. The barbarity of imperialism benefits the bourgeoisie and perhaps the petty bourgeoisie and labor aristocracy absolutely but the imperial core proletariat, lumpen proletariat, prisoners, and other declassed elements either experience no gain, or those gains are outweighed by the global benefit of ending imperialism.

You first learn those skills in a quiet indoor setting.

 >>2544348>>2544342Minor gripe in the grand scheme of things, but every year when Halloween comes around my parents (who are both 60) keep complaining about how it's changed from their youth. Everything from costumes now being more commercialized and not homemade to there being costumes for adults, they seem really incessant that Halloween is strictly a thing for young kids and stopped letting us go trick or treatlering as early as 8th grade. But now that Halloween parties are in vogue they're complaining that Halloween has been "taken over" by adults.
Which like…first of all, what's wrong with people having fun? God forbid people take a commercial holiday and use it as an excuse to get together with people with some fun gimmick like costumes. But also, the general trend of adults enjoying "kid stuff" openly more and more is just a natural product of the increased alienation brought upon by neoliberalism. Working sucks, jobs suck, you can barely make enough to break even most of the time even if you're paid a lot because the cost of living is so damn high. Is it any wonder people are more interested in whimsical escapism full of colorful characters and magic powers? Hell that's part of the reason MLP FIM took off as much as it did, there was a whole economic recession and disappointment with Obama and the feeling that nothing would fundamentally change leading to people wanting to have something fun and silly on the side so they could forget about their troubles.
I dunno what my point with this whole rant is except my parents hate fun and dont really understand just how soul crushing this society is, but frankly I think adults can wear costumes and have parties and make fun decorations and drinks if they wanna. Who cares if it's "childish"? The entire world is a joke
 >>2544350>>2544353Yeah the last few years over here have been less and less Trick or Treaters.
I really don't get it, I honestly, genuinely don't. When I was a kid I loved the idea of stomping around the neighborhood at night getting candy. Shit I would've done it all night if I could.
Call me crazy but part of me just sees a connection between that and all the Silicon Valley mindset shit. Like at this point I wouldn't be surprised if some techbro is like "I found a way to make Halloween even easier! All you gotta do is download an app and you'll get to choose all the candy you want, and I'll have a bag of it delivered to your house! No more getting apples from the local dentist, no more getting candy you don't want, isn't this great?!"
Like there's something special about walking around your town for Trick or Treating, doing it at some mall or out of someone's car is just taking all the fun out of Halloween.
 Personally I never cared much for trick or treating. It was okay the few times I did it as a kid but I could've gone my life without doing it although I imagine I would've seethed about it as an adult like I seethe about other things I supposedly missed out on. I suppose I do feel somewhat bad for current crop of kids who might be missing out on it but then again it never meant much for me.
>>2544372that's basically how i feel about it too. also the candy corporations are just nasty for a lot of reasons we've gone into before on here.
 >>2544227No it wont fucking drug war retard who couldin't even figure out how to use an imageboard for the Q&A

 I guess Stephen Miller’s wife crashed out during some panel interview and accused everyone of being an antisemite and is now being made fun of. These people by the way now live at military bases (

>>2544381They know the uprising is imminent. Hell hath no fury like a burger denied his treats
 >>2544377People admittedly rely way too much on this thought that some collapse totally outside their control will create a revolution when we’ve got the whole history of Anarchists in Spain showing that leaderless uprisings don’t have a good track record.
I’d been thinking about January 6th a little, and while the scheme itself was unlikely to work, what ultimately kept it from being anything more than a riot was the leaderlessness I think. Had there been a vanguard of organizers that could direct the angry crowds and maintain some level of cohesion when they started getting shot at, maybe they could’ve gotten into some long siege in the capital. Again, unlikely to work, but it’s the difference between a toddler throwing a temper tantrum and something that could be considered a radical rupture of the status quo.
There’s ultimately very little credibility between the radical left and the wider public. To some extent the left has segmented itself off, it’s erected impenetrable walls, and the consequences of that is it can’t take advantage of these obvious disasters in capitalist society.
 >>2544387it looks like 1 thick muthafucka in the shadow
 >>2544393Israel: the only actual state in the U.S.

>>2544386I agree in principle but the problem with J6 wasn't that it was leaderless, it was that the J6 riot was a last ditch scramble after Pence decided he wouldn't follow Eastman's script, which they had thought they could pressure him into doing. The rioters were never expected to actually take the capitol, it was just a "fuck it why not."
 >>2544408he's so fucking fruity
 >>2544409i tried explaining this to my liberal lesbian great aunt the last time we had a phone call. I said trump is queeny and she thought I was being homophobic and I was like no listen, he builds ball rooms and loves phantom of the opera and gets in cat fights on twitter with graydon carter of vanity fair and called out barney frank for blasting his nips in congress and rants about the big beautiful handsome soldiers and generals and sportsball athletes and he does a patented double HJ dance any time tiny dancer or YMCA comes on. he's an old karen who loves interior decorating.
 >>2544414Oh my god shut up it’s one city and the police will just kill him if he gets out of line with the real estate interests
 >>2544402Oh for sure, to be fair I'm more taking the act of storming the capitol in something of a vacuum. In theory a Vanguard should be adaptable enough that even if there's this bizarre "throw shit at the wall and hope for the best" moment, it can at least aim for a bullseye. You get me?
But regardless my larger point is the Left needs to step up and prove itself capable of leadership, even if its just to the extent of rallying people behind a set of demands they actually want. Lenin promised Russians "Peace, Land, and Bread" and I think such a statement could be modernized for the current U.S.; something like "Peace, Housing, and Food".
Fuck it, y'know I might actually try to hand out some food for November given SNAP benefits are running out. I could use some suggestions though, does anyone here know some affordable foods that can last for a while? Preferably something that can provide decent nutrition, too. 'Cause all I can think of right now are maybe canned beans, fruits, and fish.
Might contact The Party too and see if they got any fliers I can print out. Failing that, I might just do a simple picture of the CPUSA logo and a QR code to our website. Maybe some caption below it that says something like "You shouldn't have to struggle for food."

I might go as far to say this is the same reason conservatives were calling for the day of rope in the aftermath of charlie kirk 360noscope since the majority of population thought it was the funniest shit ever. All these sheltered ass media career neolibs literally think there just the default person and don't like being reminded of the truth that the average joe despises them.

She probably wasn't getting the pipe laid as often as she wanted. he was too busy doing tours and debating pink haired college girls with nose rings while she stayed at home and ordered some maid to feed the children or whatever. there had to be something or someone filling the void while he was doing his tours of duty as a master debater.
 >“Maduro is ending, and a free and prosperous Venezuela is dawning,” a source close to the White House told the New York Post. “Within days, Maduro will exist only in the past tense, and in history’s judgment.”
>>2544414BHL? As in Bernard Henri Levy? Lmao! Send that glowed-up French aristocrat pedophile freak to the gulag.
 >>2544429Maduro should, if possible, pull an Assad instead of a Saddam.
 >>2544420Something I think people forget about SocDems is that I imagine the ruling classes would much more prefer to just not talk about class period, convince everyone liberalism vs conservatism is literally all politics is, then have to shakily explain why they're leveraging the entirety of the State to sink one candidate.
Democrats much more prefer to be in a position of "well that's unrealistic, that's impossible, no one wants that" instead of being forced into playing the bad guys that killed progressive legislation.
>>2544421I'm personally a big believer in a planned economy and I think we should openly advocate for it more often. If only because it gets Capitalists coming out of the woodwork to explain why "it doesn't work" and it actually illustrates an alternative to the current economic structure we've got here.
 >>2544435he should sink with the ship and become a martyr, actually
 >>2544435How will he escape to Russia though?
Brazil might offer to transport him I suppose.
 >>2544438Why would he do that? He isn't Chavez who probably would've. I don't think he's much of a believer and I don't think most people really believe in much of anything except maybe for the most schizo at least in the current time we live in. Most people just want to stay alive just a little while longer anyway they can.
 >>2544442we were robbed the Chavez vs Trump timeline
 >>2544438that didn't help Allende or Gaddafi. Better to escape and live than to die so Hillary Clinton can cackle into a martini somewhere.

 >>2544450Not when he is in public in front of a camera, no but behind closed doors, when goofing around with Klandace, yes. A girl and her gay dude best friend-tier. The relationship between him and his wife too, seems entirely manufactured. I am convinced she was grown in a Koch Labs vat.

>>2544413Did you see that clip of him give catty relationship advice on the Wendy Williams show? You could tell he was truly happy and his truest self in that moment. They should have given him a talk show instead of making him president supreme hitlerite of the burgerreich.
 In the context of the USA, to move away from the "99% vs 1%" left populism and the "nationalists vs. globalists" right populism, you need to not only break down false consciousness and instill class consciousness, but you must emphasize proletarian supremacy at each opportunity, and explain why the proletariat specifically, and not the petty bourgeoisie, nor the PMC, nor the labor aristocracy, nor the lumpenproletariat, nor the incarcerated, nor the marginalized, must lead the movement for its own liberation, the class struggle, and not simply "the 99%" which will inevitably be an interclass affair led by the petty bourgeoisie. This is a serious hurdle in the US where people still to this very day look at you like you have 6 heads if you invoke anything other than "lower/middle/upper class" framework or "99% vs. 1%" or "nationalists vs globalists" or other such hogwash. These are still fancy european pretentious terms to the burger. You must make them commonplace.
>>2544462Was gonna critique throwing away the “99%” slogan but you made a strong point.
 >>2544464workers vs. bosses could work in some situations but you still have the dynamic of the faceless corporate employer (rather than a specific boss-man) and the dynamic of the "self employed worker" who is a sole proprietor small business owner and usually has petty bourgeois class interests due to already owning his own means of production (in the South we have a lot of tree work and lawn care guys and exterminators like this)
 >>2544463you don't need to lie about this stuff. Machado is already promising openly to privatize and already views herself as an ally of giga-zionists like Milei and Trump and an enemy of anti-zionists like Maduro and Lula. 
if anything /pol/-ACKs can come here and see you admitting to lying and take that back as proof that Maduro should be overthrown.
 I have a question for all of you imperialist americans. How many of you are ready to give up everything to end the capitalist system of exploitation? CPUSA Anon fears Communism because it will make him poor by taking his brokerage account. But the proletarian has nothing to lose. The proletarian will give life gladly to end the system of exploitation. All Communist revolutions come from crises, so CPUSA Anon being poorer is historically necessary for Communism. How many of you are ready to give up imperialism and get productive job on farm or factory to make up for the imperialists' severe lack of productive forces to feed the people
>>2544463Someone get this anon a psyop badge immediately
 >>2544482I'm a NEET so the revolution would give me something to do at least tbdesu.
Losing my family home would suck but I'd lose it anyway when my parents die and the bankers steal it.
The only American privilege I take for granted is being able to buy a gun whenever you want with zero background checks or wait periods. And I imagine the revolution wouldn't do anything to limit that privilege since Commies love guns.

 >>2544496most nigerians in the us are christian. likelihood they're pushing for this?
 >>2544506>I've come to believe a significant amount of "Marxism-Leninism" online is a reactionary ideology. Like, communism = when you work directly in agriculture but this is a country that grows more than enough food to feed itself with around 1% of the population employed directly in agriculture. Can thank China for advancing the productive forces though.Y'know despite how much you'll get a certain type of "Marxist-Leninist" on here defending their own bizarre psychological hangups with "This is OBJECTIVELY Leninism and if you disagree with ME you disagree with LENIN!" when you actually sit down and read Lenin he's way more, well, sane than these types. Pragmatic too.
Like he went out of his way to explain the nuances of things like anti-imperialism and patriotism and clarify his positions, even stuff that can be construed as blatantly offensive (he mentions a Russian agitator that called Russia a "Nation of Slaves" and contextualized that as a call to rise above slavery rather than an insult directed at the Russians). Even if ending imperialism led to some loss of privilege or fortune for some, he'd describe it in a way that sounds more like a doctor describing the side effects of medicine: "You might feel a stomach ache or tired, but continue taking the medicine and you'll heal up soon enough."
Meanwhile modern supposed-followers of his delight in occluding their positions, being intentionally inflammatory, and then taking pushback for that action as proof of their opponents class position or nefarious intent. They're obsessed with calling some poor schmuck working a dead-end service job a "treatler" because it turns out people really don't like it if you advertise "You're gonna be poor!" twenty-four seven. They talk in these seething screeds about "payback" and then whine that people treat them as vengeance-driven psychos.

 >>2544577you're arguing against a red scare strawman on youtube. a communist state where the USA used to be would be too busy rebuilding after a civil war and deconstructing US imperialism to go on an ideological crusade across 2 continents. such a state would be non-interventionist and respectful of sovereignty on principle.
 >>2544588Idk about that, I can easily see the nat-sec state cutting a deal with trots for a permanent revolution.
 >>2544565besides the point award
bought into the framework of the reactionary award
 >>2544591how are you going to sell more forever wars to people who just had a civil war to put an end to forever wars.
"this time we're spreading the right kind of freedom" might not cut it
 >>2544588depends on how the civil war went and state of geopolitics
 >>2544588I'm fine with respecting the sovereignty of any nation with the exception of canada
 I have never seen Democrat reddit activist fight harder for anything than trans girls in sports. They say it's 10 people then they are willing to literally die for them to play. They won't do this with healthcare, wages, unions or anything. But this issue they won't give 1 single despite how unpopular it is. I have read so many discussions top to bottom of them talking about it. Anything accept a maximalist position on this is unacceptable. While so many other things they allow a lot of leniency.
>>2544596"national sovereignty" is a psyop
 >>2544593would be pretty easy considering something like 85% of canadians live 100 miles from the border
 >>2544594as it stands the US currently has an all-volunteer army. after a civil war to go on such an ideological crusade, not only would you need to strengthen the new communist ex-USA with a period of reconstruction, but you would also need to institute a draft. This would be unpopular and seen as a step backwards.  not only would you be trying to sell people more forever wars after a civil war, you would be drafting people to carry out said ideological crusade. The smarter thing to do would be to provide material support for existing actual popular working class movements in Latin America and Canada, mostly through soft power, and perhaps through covert action, not through a full scale war.
 >>2544598then why did the USSR contain several autonomous republics with national sovereignty? Why did the USSR go out of its way to respect minority nationalities in the former Russian empire?
 >>2544588Given a destructive civil war I'd doubt there'd be much imperialism left to deconstruct, but judging by the comments of some people on this board I suppose there'd be a few advocating destroying all the cities and shipping all our food overseas. Complete with people whipping themselves and crying "we're so SORRY".
That said, I assume most people even now want some level of "isolationism" complete with rebuilding the country.

>>2544506Communism is when the system of exploitation is abolished. The exploitation of third world has sublated american productive forces and class struggle. The imperialist question has but one soluion: to adhere to Mao Zedong Thought and build productive forces and eliminate the bourgeoisie. When this is settled not only will the foundations of modern Socialist economy will be established, but the next era of humanity begin.
 >>2544604>>2544597Who cares about trans women in sports? I've seen reactionaries freak out about it way more than democrats.

 >>2544608Okay if you don't care then it should stop being mandatory to maintain it as a position as a liberal. I read this repeatedly of "I don't care it is a non issue". Then will go to war to protect it.
 >>2544597They have to because pretending to give a shit about idpol social issues is 95% of their entire platform. The other 5% is "maintain the capitalist status quo".
>>2544604Because the most common messaging on trans issues is by reactionaries so people accept the propaganda even though it's based on a fallacy (that males can have lower than average testosterone levels and females can have higher than average and their entire anti-trans argument makes no fucking sense).

 >>2544603>Given a destructive civil war I'd doubt there'd be much imperialism left to deconstructif that were really the case, the best way to prove it would be to 
not draft the American proletariat into an ideological crusade to spread their revolution as 5th columns in other countries. I'm not the biggest fan of patriotism or nationalism, and I would in fact prefer if every human on earth gave up the spook of nationality and embraced a collective human identity, but that kind of change in the superstructure doesn't happen overnight. The last thing you would want to do when bringing Communist Canada or Communist Latin America into existence after a hypothetical Communist America 
(which, let's be real, is still a very far off hypothetical when looking at the current state of things, you might as well be debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin) is go and paint the workers of Canada and Latin America as lackeys of the Americans. "We will be greeted as liberators, but this time for real." is not something that is going to be taken lightly, especially in Latin America where it will be seen as yet another US coup, just with red paint. America should want to prove to the world that it's ready to sheath its sword. The French revolutionaries tried to spread their revolution across all of Europe and it didn't end well for them. Other countries embraced liberalism and capitalism and bourgeois society on their own in 1848, with no help from the Jacobins and Sans Culottes.

 >>2544604idgi, why is this even a thing people care about. sports is already segregated by biological sex, by age, by ability, and by other variables. Just give trans men and trans women their own leagues. I suppose the worry is that there wouldn't be enough of them, but if we have "special olympics" we can have "trans olympics" 
Is this bigoted somehow?
 >>2544609Let me try and explain it a bit better: I don't care if a black person eats in the same restaurant as me because him being black isn't a big deal. A racist would throw a fit if some black person eats in the same restaurant as him. 
Just because I don't care if a black person sits next to me doesn't mean I'll tolerate them being banned from restaurants because that's just plain evil. It doesn't mean I'll nod my head and say "well agree to disagree" if someone tries to force black people out of restaurants.
I don't care if a trans woman plays in women's sports because I don't even watch women's sports regardless. But I wont accept the notion we've got to start banning them because of that either.
Does that make sense? It's not me pushing "WELL WHERE ARE THE TRANS WOMEN?!" in any sport I see, it's right wingers making a fuss about the rare occasion when a Trans woman 
does play a sport.
>>2544614I mean no one is really explaining what "deconstruct imperialism" means in any practical sense. In some hypothetical where we've got a post-revolution U.S. my sole concern would be that we actually build houses for people and undoing the damage Capitalism has done here: cleaning our environment, rebuilding some industrial capacity, so on.
 >>2544610Yeah it makes me think "I can't afford my meds and my food stamp benefits are gone, my pay is too low to live beyond 1 bedroom apartment, there is literal fascist taking over the country, my country is sending billions to pointless wars, people are being wrangled up by ice daily, I am not going to fight for healthcare for all it's too far, socialism is problematic but I must defend trans women volleyball. All human rights will be gone if 10 people can't hit a ball "
 >>2544616no, because bourgeois compradors took power in both the Russian SSR and the other SSRs. Ukrainians actually voted at a 
higher rate than Russians to stay in the USSR when given a referendum.
 >>2544619You do care if a black person gets to eat in a restaurant and it's not a zero sum issue. No one is impacted by them eating in the restaurant as they have unlimited capitacy always. Trans women will be competing for limited spots against bio women in sports which is where the debate comes in. Black peoples rights for restaurants too is a literal right by law now in the usa that is protected, trans women in sports is not. What you are telling me is not a new position dude I have literally read thousands of comments on Reddit about this at this point and people don't give 1 inch on this. They will rip their arm off before they give up on this issue
 >>2544621yea but moskva could have used authority to stop it but they didn't like b4
 >>2544523The thing with Leninism and it's posterior evolution into "Marxism-Leninism/Stalinism" is that it really only made sense as a strategy in early 20th century Russia where the Bolsheviks had to deal with:
>a) A semi-feudal backwater shithole country where most of the population where peasants, thus the need for an intellectual vanguard party that represented the little proletariat there was.
>b)Multiple ethnic and intra-national conflicts in the Russian Empire, thus the principle of "National Self-determination" to get multiple warring nations on the side of Bolshevism. This policy although necessary at the time, in the long run only proved Rosa Luxemburg right and now we know this only lead to even MORE nationalism and ethnic conflicts rather than less.
>c) A disastrous civil war where millions died, the German and Hungarian revolutions were defeated and the USSR became surrounded by Imperial powers. Under these conditions the very survival of the Soviet State was almost impossible, let alone it achieving a socialist mode of production thus some concessions like the NEP and heavy bureaucratization of the party had to be made.As you said, Lenin was a very intelligent politician who valued pragmatism more than anything else and was willing to take one step backwards if it meant taking two steps ahead later but this pragmatism only worked in the time and setting he lived in. If he were alive today no doubt he would take a completely different course of action, hence why I think that MLs who just want to recreate a USSR 2.0 are extremely misguided and should take from Lenin his methodology rather than his exact same policies.
 >>2544621This graphic forgets that the hardliners tried to do a coup and their failure resulted on everyone voting to split.
 >>2544619You say where is the fuss yet you won't give up on the issue. If there is no fuss from you then allow it to be that they don't play. Will you allow it? Because this is what I see constantly of saying it's a non issue yet won't give it up.
 >>2544618she really said that fr
 >>2544623>yea but moskva could have used authority to stop it but they didn't like b4please give an instance "b4" 1991 where this happened

 The robot slave that is explicitly controlled by the remote laborer in the Philippines would probably get a little more pushback, except right now it’s being sold as a stopgap for total AI replacement.
So people are even eager now to accept the use of technology to do so really brutal exploitation beyond what was already doable with housekeepers. And it’s seen as okay because it has an expiration date.
>>2544625>hardliners caused people to VOOT for dissolutionexcept the soviet peoples weren't consulted and the dissolution was carried out by declaration and was not carried out by referendum.
 >>2544624>If he were alive today no doubt he would take a completely different course of actionthe only thing Lenin would do differently is to not assume a successful revolution in his country would automatically spread to neighboring developed countries, but to his credit this was the prevailing thought at the time
 >>2544592She looks somewhat latina. Plays into the whole idea that Stephen Miller hates immigrants because some Mexican chick rejected him in high school when he was a teenager in Santa Monica. Of course they were both probably like without a need for some kind of stupid villain backstory.
 >>2544609>as a liberalwho cares about liberals
 >>2544619>I mean no one is really explaining what "deconstruct imperialism" means in any practical sense.don't immediately go back to trying to trying to coup foreign governments 1 second after the revolution is a good thing. From a national perspective we might say "but it's different this time, we're spreading proletarian revolution instead of US hegemony" but from the perspective of other countries, they might not be too eager to see US soldiers in their countries again. Maybe spend a few years convincing people you are not the US empire anymore instead of just the US empire with a coat of red paint.
 >>2544639That is who I am speaking about. The democrat party. Democrat voters online.
 >>2544640any successful revolution here would automatically be in a cold war situation with the rest of the worlds bourgeoise. you assume we would have the luxury of choice when it comes to peace
 >>2544638Everyone says he’s been a nazi’s nazi since he was like in middle school. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he had some sexual psychosis around Mexican girls as this is the norm for white nationalist men. He himself probably sees this as some kind of vindication of his politics.
 >>2544496i think he timed this to draw away attention from the fact that his buddies' militias in sudan's darfur region have been killing so many people the past week that piles of bodies are visible from space and started gaining traction on ig and xitter
 >>2544638>She looks somewhat latina.i am honestly taking that as an insult
 >>2544642I already stated that we would be too busy reconstructing the country and deconstructing our imperialist institutions. it was other people trying to drag me into the debate of invading Canada and Latin America to make them communist, which would invariably be seen as a continuation of US imperialism with a coat of red paint. I actually agree that we would have no such luxury and that foreign bourgeoisie, most likely the UK and Europe, would be desperately trying to get us to go back to being bourgeois, which would make war with them apparently self defense, unlike randomly invading weaker neighbors.
 >>2544638still missing the point. libs dunk on reactoids for hypocrisy. like oooh trump you claim to hate foreigners yet you married an immigrant. oh miller you claim to hate foreigners yet your wife looks latina. it buys into their framework and dunks on them for not being as pure in their reactionary politics as they pretend to be. what's the point of dunking on their hypocrisy if it begins by buying into their framework? reject their framework altogether rather than reveling in the dramatic irony.
 >>2544648feudal landowners were called landlords in english and in any case the misunderstanding isn't that important since urban and rural rentiers are both rentiers, and rent is a parasitic and exploitative form of income dependent on surplus labor being performed, just like usury and profit.
 >>2544648doesn't matter all rent seekers are social parasites

 Bill Kristol on the NYC election:
>New York is a huge city. [Mamdani is] not going to destroy it, I don’t think. He’s gonna set up five silly government-run grocery stores, I guess. I don’t think he even will do that [inaudible]. And so they’ll be fine.
>He’s a very impressive politician. I don’t know that he’s going to be a very good mayor. He’s 33 years old, he’s never run anything. They’re good people who could work for him though, in New York. So, who knows? I don’t know.
>The idea of going back to Cuomo is just, I think, ridiculous. I think if it had been the first round, I would’ve voted for someone else and maybe wouldn’t have even ranked Mamdani, and would’ve had other people who were more centrist, liberal types
>All these big shot, you know, finance types in New York, they couldn’t get behind anyone except for Andrew Cuomo. It’s really pathetic, in my opinion.
>>2543819>Okay, so maybe he is a state dept stooge after allno shit
 >>2544687You need to be locked up
 >>2544665Give us some committed Communist cadre wearing bunnysuits for the revolution. Better yet, get your class traitors girls to express their desire for proletarian cock. Sometimes black.
 >>25446651)Keep the gender ratio for appearing models as balanced as you possibly can 
2)Please include alt style models as much as possible (because I am attracted to alt people and because it fits with your Brand
 >>2544640I mean yeah that sounds sensible. I really think most working class people in the U.S. would get behind that. Shit one refrain I’ve heard from a normie friend is “we need to completely close ourselves off and just start rebuilding our country.”
People see the Empire as unsustainable because it is. People don’t truly see a point in foreign adventures unless they’re already ideologically committed (eg libs with Ukraine, Cons with Israel) and its easy as hell to make the case that the empire has to end. But instead of actually doing that we’ve got leftists online trying to front load how bad ending the empire would be. Like they’re trying to throw as many workers into the empire’s camp as possible. They talk about it in terms of punishing the workers. Which one would assume if they actually cared they’d be trying to lighten the impact of negative externalities. “It’ll hurt at first but we’ll be so much better off after.”
Instead it’s just “we’re gonna make you poor, haha!”
 >>2544712alt models are a given, going to make the ghost of Mark Fisher proud
>>2544707the bunnysuits bit is funny because I've been looking into just who was willing to publish actual revolutionary shit and it was Playboy that was publishing a lot of it.

>>2544736His wrists hopefully.
 >>2544727I dunno man, I’ve heard Cuban landlords at least used to get away with even more shit if you can believe it. Just straight up torturing people for kicks.
Which ain’t to say the landlord situation ain’t bad, not at all, but I can understand why people have hesitance to make the comparison. It’s why “wage slavery” ain’t en vogue these days.
 >>2544736This reminds me, not sure if I got any responses before but what are some cheap foodstuffs I can load up on to distribute to people? I don’t necessarily wanna go full on Cup Noodles or cans of beans, but that’s all I can think I can get in bulk.

 >>2544667Bubbles don't matter now. the bourgeoisie have learned how to "centrally plan" through scamming (short selling, pump and dumps, etc.) so that even stock market crashes benefit their class dictatorship. They now see bubble pops coming in advance and act accordingly. only the petty bourgeoisie lose their investments, which is good for the big bourgeoisie.
 >>2544750Thanks man.
Thinking peanut butter, oatmeal maybe, beans, maybe some canned fish.
I don’t have a lot of money to spend on this, especially after car trouble, but I want to at least help a few dozen people and maybe turn them on to The Party.
Thinking I might give it out in the parking lot of a low income grocery store, figure it’d go to the people who need it most that way.
Maybe there’s some low effort recipes I can give out too?
 >>2544719Honestly, most important thing is to be respectful and empowering. You're not just selling sex, you're selling sexiness, women's power over men by the ability to advertise and control the promise of sex.
And if you do opt to go the male route as well, you have a praxis opportunity in seeing whether there's women with fetishes for revolutionary nerds and swole blue collar workers (note that women prefer slighter musculatures, visible muscles but not threateningly so. Yaoi with femme men fucking each other is for girls, bara is masc4masc).
Getting derogated as "prole fetish" is actually better than the scenario of not having any traction at all.
 >>2544548in that debate she looked like an insane person. even milquetoast libs were grilling her, it's insane.
 >>2544665i dont think theres any way to do that without it being effectively chauvinist regardless of your intentions. if you take open submissions for art/pics and people submit sexy pics or w/e without specific calls for sexy pics and you use the submissions, thats totally fine imo and could be an interesting distinguishing quality if you got a reputation for accepting lewds. but consciously pursuing it as an advertising tactic and soliciting that kind of submission seems inevitably scummy
thats my 2 cents anyway

 >>2544756powdered milk is good to have as an option just for ppl trying to cook meals that require milk. wouldnt get a ton bc most people probly wouldnt take it anyway but its good to have some as an option you can offer. seconding peanutbutter. nuts are usually pretty expensive but if you can get a lot of mixed nuts or peanuts cheap enough theyre filling with no prep which is nice. also similar to powdered milk, if you can get those powdered gatorades (preferably cheaper knockoffs), vitamin c/immune booster powders, or even just protein shake powder. obv its not minimum staple food but its easy to carry around and distribute, has some nutritional content, and its a good morale booster when youre broke to get to easily make yourself a beverage besides tapwater
 Looks like an attack on Venezuela may be imminent. I wish all you yanks a very Happy Hope You Lose a Carrier Day.
