>What is to be with trump supporters?
>Personally I think the only way to deal with this is mass censorship of right wing news orgs and forums, tear them apart piece by piece. Then make token arrests of the loudest and most anti-social Trump supporters and send them to be re-educated. Start aggressively taxing churches that served as propaganda arms for the Republican party. Then work on tearing down every goddamned confederate statue in this country (replacing most with John Brown and other abolitionists) and aggressively begin a propaganda campaign to revive the spirit of reconstruction by attacking the Confederate Cause, its leadership, and declaring once and for all that the civil war was about slavery and that the confederate states existed solely to perpetuate slavery, and that their being crushed mercilessly was a historically good thing.
I get where where you're coming from, especially the last half of your paragraph, but with the first half you're too soft on the Trumpists yet too harsh on free speech. Historically, Socialists in the US have always been unconditional advocates for free speech which few American Leftists today appreciate. Censorship is something we can't really afford to cynically pick and choose in the US, especially in the past 3 years since Oct 7th, where Biden's latter-day term and especially Trump's term now are directly invoking Left-of-Center rhetoric around antisemitism to justify the repression of protesters.
Besides, as far as the whole debate between free speech vs censorship goes, Leftists today just don't really appreciate the secret third option, which is freedom of the press for the sole purpose of making the Red terror easier to pursue. Censorship merely makes the Right better at speaking in code. Even still, as long as we manage to have control of the most mainstream outlets of mass media, we can just drown them out anyways.
That being said, I feel there's a lot of things that can, and should, be done to break the back of the Conservative movement, and a lot of it would be through creating a new Democratic, Socialist Constitution to ensure that, through law, Conservatives and the bougies are either systemically locked out of power, or have their power equalized by proletarianizing the bougies and actually enshrining worker's democracy and the Rights of oppressed/marginalized groups.
Among many other things to include in that Constitution:
>Allow multi-party democratic elections in a unicameral legislature (with the caveat that advocating for any return to Capitalism is banned)
>(Similar to how the IWW deals with membership) You can only have voting rights as long as you don't own capital, or be someone else's boss. If you are a boss, you have to immediately train your former subordinates in managerial functions to encourage worker's self-management before you can regain voting rights. (admittedly, the terms and conditions around that last part would need to be hashed out by an actual Socialist movement instead of just a single guy like me)
>Freedom of religion, but with the caveat that if an individual congregation is confirmed, with proof, that they were either advocating for the arbitrary stripping of a group's Rights, or aiding and abetting a Conservative political organization, that congregation will be deemed a political organization and be dealt with accordingly
And a few other things that should be done, but might not necessarily be something to include directly in a Constitution, assuming that any of this would be done in the context of a violent confrontation like another civil war:
>Rank-and-file combatants of a Right wing faction must undergo re-education and, if need be, a literal socialization process
>If any rank-and-file combatants are confirmed to have committed a crime against humanity upon an individual or community, they shall be tried by a jury composed of the individual, closest relative and/or the community directly wronged, with the power to decide punishments up to and including execution. If those rank-and-file combatants are confirmed to have committed genocide on a community, they shall be tried by a military tribunal (let's face it, they're getting the fucking wall at that point)
>Open season on the organizers of Conservative organizations, be they Propagandists, Officers (political and/or military), or Theorists*1
As a bonus, certain Centrist Democrats should be tried in court for war crimes or crimes against humanity, depending on their context, and sentenced from anything between permanent house arrest to execution, assuming any of them live long enough to be tried at all.
*1: The lines between these three roles can often blur for some individuals, but I feel the need to emphasize these distinctions because people put so much focus on guys like Ben Shapiro and the like as if they're theorists just because they write books. In reality they're propagandists and thus low hanging fruit compared to the theorists, who are actually deep in the thinktanks. Pic related
Agents raided wrong apartment in search for items stolen from FBI vehicles, woman says
A raid on a south Minneapolis apartment building Thursday left a family shaken, outraged and looking for answers.
Ring video shows law enforcement officers with long guns moving in, busting through the door, before entering the apartment building. Another angle shows officers inside, searching Alisa Porter's unit before ripping the camera off the wall.
The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office says it was conducting a criminal investigation and executing multiple search warrants for a firearm stolen from a federal vehicle on Wednesday night. The operation was assisted by the ATF, FBI and other agencies. The investigation is ongoing.
Porter said agents raided the wrong apartment.
A copy of the search warrant left behind lists the name of a man living at 2926. Mail for Porter lists her address as 2928 Apt 2.
WCCO also learned that more than just a gun was taken when two FBI SUVs were broken into. The document left behind by law enforcement lists highly sensitive items that were taken, including multiple FBI access badges and wallets containing driver's licenses and credit cards.
https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/minneapolis-fbi-raid-wrong-home/>>2648885Watching the democrats talk about how abolishing ICE isn't aligned with their party and how we should focus on ICE reform and giving them better police training
it makes the blood boil and its exactly why I haven't voted since 2020
they did this same shit with BLM in 2020
absorb the radical, repackage as more neoliberal conservatism
and it works too, people love this shit
there are still people who think this is a "trump" problem, and blame people who didn't vote for Kamala for this, as if Kamala's number 1 campaign promise wasn't more ICE, more border patrol and creating the "most lethal" military possible
i know damn well that a lot of these liberals do not care about the families being seperated, or the in humanity, or the cruelity, or the murdering of civilians, or the IDF training both ICE and our domestic police, they only care about the optics. Can't you send people to camps a little quieter, a little nicer, with a little more decorum? so we can get back to brunch please?
If Americans cant beat ICE how you gonna beat the army/special forces when the revolution starts?
>>2648901
'no'
>>2648885Someone has to ram the point down the throat of every one of these libs that none of their weasel worded denunciations of ICE count for shit unless they are willing to give every single one the death penalty by firing squad and dismantle them.
Fascism already won. It's over. I'm fleeing to Mexico.
Hilarious that ICE have been given a free hand to respond to protestors as now they're simply agitators for the administration who can stir the pot and forment yet further violence.
There's absolutely no restriction as doubtless they're pressing for the insurrection act so they can clamp down further whilst causing the republican base to close rank and simply radicalise fence sitters to their cause. The absolute beauty of it.
>>2648929>tfw cono suri have lower chances of surviving whatever is coming but fuck it we ball
>>2648918You don't actually think central and south America will be safe do you? Monroe Doctrine 2.0 has just started.
>>2648938>just startedit's been well underway for a good decade now, it's just gotten more kinetic lately
>>2648918Gotta flee to China.
The entire world going to get dragged into this shit show eventually. In China you will at least have a chance to be on the winning side
>>2648902How do we even begin to field an army of the people? Could you imagine any of the current political parties (ie DSA, PSL, FRSO) supporting guerilla action?
Because what would happen is all of these organizations would immediately disavow (HOUDINI wouldn't!) any sort of action done by any sort of guerilla force. If you look at the reasons the RAF failed in Germany (1970s), it was primarily due to a lack of media propaganda that allowed the guerilla to be connected to the mass struggle.
The same pitfall remains today, there is simply no organization or spokesperson who would run fade for the guerilla. It's electoralism or bust even if the system is completely busted, even if they are killing working class people in the streets.
Do you know how much I make via youtube ads and patreon? (I make nothing, but plenty of our best spokespeople make hundreds of thousands) How could I ever speak out for the guerilla if that would risk my finances, my platform, my ends, my kids going to college? I mean this is a legit thing that the owner of Means.tv said to me when we met, "this makes enough that I can put my kids through college". That doesn't seem like people who are actually revolutionary, actually able to take risks, homie has a toddler and wants his business to support that. Simple as.
Imagine a group of guerillas successfully organize, mobilize and neutralize an ICE caravan, there is simple no one who would side with them, even if the masses saw them as heroes at first, the zone would immediately be flooded with "violence is never ever acceptable, we disavow this terrorism" from every major "anti-capitalist" party in this godforsaken nation. In combination with the captured mainstream media's propaganda.
How do I know? I saw this exact thing with Luigi, with the guy who shot the two IDF officers in Chicago and with the guy who murked Charlie Kirk.
Everytime the masses use violence, the institutional left is quick to draw a line in the sand and sell out their own people.
Expecting the PSL or similar to answer the call is the same kind of delusion liberals have when they think the police will turn on ICE. It's all farce. All counter revolutonary.
I do not want peace. I want liberation, and liberation can only be won via revolutionary war. War is, after all, an extension of politics, after all other ends have failed (and they have!) war is the only possible solution.
There's a reason Lenin had everyone reading Clausewitz.
>>2648941Yes, good luck being a random ass gringo in China, who have no family or professional connections there, at a time when anti American xenophobia will increase sooner or later due to confrontation over Taiwan
>>2648940Really it never ended. While there was a light pushback with the pink tide, clearly they've regained their footing and decided to ramp up the aggression.
>>2648941There are starting to become more selective. Good luck getting in and then staying in.
>>2648967>anything but organizing workers as workersthe end point of "leftist" praxis is shitting up the streets with stickers
>>2648970America does not have any infrastructure for labor organizing. The American worker has no labor power.
>>2648946"Omg you're fed posting, you're gonna get vanned"
let em
let em come get me I do not care and if you do, you clearly missed the most important part of being a revolutionary: your death is all but guaranteed because you are speaking of things that inherently destabilize the current regime
Yes we are in a revolutionary moment, we have been in a revolutionary moment for half a decade at least. I grew up watching the BLM protests of the early and mid 2010s culminate in the actions of 2020. It was not enough, it was not organized. CHAZ failed. The entire moment failed to be seized and I have become increasingly disillusioned with both the anarchist spontaneous insurrection route and the "communist party" route. Neither of these will work for our material conditions. Neither of these will make for revolution because neither concept is ready for what it really is to create revolution. The third worldist option that the American people are inherently incapable of revolution because we get to eat cheap fast food slop doesn't appeal to me because it is nihilist blackpilled nonsense.
The only path forward is uncomprising militant revolutionary rhetoric.
HOUDINI Magazine seeks to be the modern Iskra and I'm not afraid to say that.
I am so beyond sick of sectarianism, of labelism, of politics as identity. I am tired of the endless debates over historical shit. I am tired of the dogmatic nonsense, this idea that you pick a label and defend it until you die. Fuck that. Am I an anarchist? Am I a communist? I am a revolutionary, and it would behoove everyone else to think the same.
I am sick of joining some youtuber's politics server and being greeted with 100 labels to chose from. Are you a Maoist? A Titoist? An anarchist? Brother I am a revolutionary, and that should be enough. It's all retarded nonsense that does not benefit anyone who is actually here to make change, not just to profit off the thought of it. Our material conditions are different from the conditions of every other revolution, just as those revolutions had different material conditions from each other. It is a fool's dream to apply the logic of the past to the vision of the future. The only thing all of this theory serves is to inform people of the potential. You cannot read Lenin and think it will be the same in the United States because we have no peasant base, same with Mao. Anyone worth their salt understands this.
I am sick of the idea that moving as a revolutionary requires perfection. The amount of mistakes, bad plays and poor judgement I've had, in real time? It shows me that moving different requires mistakes. People are scared of mistakes, of learning from their failures, of being checked by someone who sees their bullshit. It is ridiculous to have these debates as someone who as, for better or worse, given their life to the cause. You've got people who have never had to even deal with realpolitik, talking down on people who spend their time immersed in it. That is why I got so burnt out with online activism, it's full of posers and fakes. People who are not willing to die for the cause criticizing people who are.
Do you know what it is to know you have no ends? That you are at rock bottom, in a foreign place, with nothing but your balls and your word? Do you know how hard it can be to get told you've been blacklisted by a variety of local businesses because of your politics? "Don't even bother applying to X, Y and Z, word gets around and the owners of X, Y and Z don't like how you talk about class" I do. I know that feeling. I've been in that moment. Then you have to think about how you do revolutionary work without the potential of income because motherfucker these small businesses control the power. Then you have to debate with a comrade on whether you speaking loudly about someone who's living with 2 kids and mold is appropriate because that person has considerable say in your local sphere. And by speaking boldly and loudly in the house of the worker, you are blacklisting yourself in the house of the owner, all while trying to build power locally. Can you handle that? Can you? Because I am very much tired of being criticized by people who cannot handle it, and would never put themselves in a position to deal with the aftermath of their mistakes as revolutionaries.
>>2648970welcome to leftoidpol! no need for scare quotes
>>2648972>proletarians need specific infrastructure to associate with each otheryou are seriously retarded lol
>>2648974>proletarians need specific infrastructure to associate with each otherhow would you propose organizing the proletariat as laborers during a time when laborers have no third places and no connection to eachother beyond the workplace?
>>2648977And now you see why I have spend 6 months testing the contraditions between small businesses and revolutionaries, only to get banned by a "leftist" space for calling out a performer who was posting memes about George Floyd, despite the place having like 3 signs up that say "Zero tolerance for racism, sexism, SA, etc", because calling people out is bad for business.
The only community left in the US is the consumer community. Are you good for business? Do you create minimum friction? Can we use your community pantry as marketing? If you say yes to all three, good, you can stick around, but if you create friction, you can get the door and begone.
Anything that protects profit can be justified by that profit. The contradictions cannot be resolved and small business owners are not working class, even if the masses, or other comrades, think they are.
>>2648984Shouldn't you be flipping burgers right now?
>>2648986Insane to me that "being a burger flipper" could be an insult on a leftist board.
Sorry I'm not the Chad reseller or dropshipper or landlord or whatever other capitalist cuck you worship is. You should kill yourself either way, fuckboy.
>>2648989I didn't mean it as an insult, rather an annoyance with your unceasing pestilence.

Gotta save money here.
>>2649002>>2649004>>2649005What are you sniveling bitches whining about? That could feed like 4 African kids for a week!
>>2648973To be honest man sadly most people aren’t ready for that, I know im not. I might doompost about this feeling tomorrow.
>>2648973That main issue I think that you said it yourself we’re fated to risk death with what we’re doing. And failure, even small ones would be tempting that fate.
>>2648929On day I will be posting on lefty and 4chan from China in my comfy rural cottage and my VPN. One day.
>>2649011Besides they all need to lose weight so they can fit into the sleep pods we rent them. Greedy bastards want to live in a 2 room palace!
>>2649017>>2649016How come people in other countries are willing to die for their beliefs to fight the American Empire but those living in the Imperial Core are too afraid? Is it…that they're afraid of losing their comfortable lives…? Was Iron Felix right…?
>>2649021I think thats part of it, but a lot of people do want to help genuinely but they either don’t know how or afraid their comfortable lives are as good as it’s gonna get snd dont wanna risk it all on something that might not even work.
>>2649021>How come people in other countries are willing to die for their beliefs to fight the American EmpireThis rarely happens. It's almost always a reaction to their family and friends getting killed while being forced into becoming salve labor and wanting revenge. That's why anti-colonialist "communists" almost always end up capitalist themselves after they beat the foreigners. There rarely was a strong belief in the first place.
The peace prize committee giving the prize to the Venezuelan clown and her just turning around and giving it to the guy who bombed the country is so humiliating for the euros.
>>2649002MAGA is retarded.
>>2649017Becoming a communist proper involves coming to terms with the risk of beating, torture, and death. Now that America is going to shit you need to face these facts and muster up some bravery or let others who did lead.
>>2649022I feel like at this point if we don't risk it all things will never get better and anyone can see that just from how politics has gone for the last 30 or 40 years. Nothing in my lifetime has EVER gotten better for the average American since I was born. Shit is FUCKED.
But most Americans are still too hopeful that the issues can be resolved through some peaceful means. They aren't yet at the stage of accepting there is no peaceful route to defeating fascism. Or maybe they just accept that their children and grandchildren will be born into slavery and…don't care for some reason? idk.
>>2649030
I'm against all kinds of body modification, including tattoos. As for the essence of your question: I'd rather die.
>>2649035
Let's agree to disagree.
>>2649032It depends on the person really, some are itchy for a revolution while others are praying for a peaceful, solution, my guess is we’ll get something like a more volatile velvet revolution like what happened in Ukraine if there is such a revolt.
>>2649024Kissinger, Obama and Abiy Ahmed have all gotten the peace prize. Fucking worthless.
>>2649043
That’s kinda why im hoping for a peaceful solution for everything besides the executive branch because our country has fucking nukes and I do not trust people to not be stupid.
>>2649039
Not for aesthetic reasons.
>>2649035
Unless you have actual gender dysphoria i consider the latter to be more of a cosmetic surgery
>>2649047
Hence why if there had to be a violent revolution, we need to be on a United front, or we’re all fucked.
>>2649044I don't think nukes will be much of a factor in a potential civil war unless Stephen Miller gets his hands on them. They're not a particularly useful strategic weapon unless your goal is complete scorched earth tactics, and that seems counterproductive in a civil war taking place on land you ostensibly "own".
>>2649047
People said this same shit about a lot of other places that balkanized but roads and trade mean nothing if two places are culturally/politically separate you can't maintain a union purely on economic ties. Europe was also tied economically for pretty much all of European history but that didn't stop kingdoms and empires from collapsing or splitting throughout history, all that changes for the average prole is who you paid taxes to.
Also I literally just saw on the news today about my state's governor refusing to extradite a Californian to Louisiana to be charged with murder for shipping abortion pills across state lines. They're 100% creating the pretext for invading blue states, the only question is whether blue states will stand up for themselves or just take it up the ass.
>>2649052>>2649051So what’s actually gonna happen?
>everything is gonna crash at once, full civil war, end times, great depression AI bubble burst!
>actually I expect this all to blow over peacefully and things will only get steadily more expensive
We all sound bipolar.
>>2649055>>2649059it will be climate change that will ultimately destroy the great satan. I just dont see how the us will survive that
>>2649060i still believe in the yellowstone supervolcano eruption
>>2649053Most likely?
>ICE protests keep going into the summer and eventually election season>Trump ramps up his threats towards Dem politicians and threatens to cancel elections if they don't "get their cities under control">Sometime in October Trump will announce putting ICE at every polling place to "catch illegal voters">This eventually turns into a standoff between ICE and Democrats>Trump invokes the insurrection act to arrest local Dems for "impeding ICE">Dems either cuck out and let Trump rig the election or they grow some balls and send their state national guards to protect voters from ICE goons>We are now finally in the Cool Zone with two different groups of armed thugs at the polls intimidating voters>Some random Mossad/CIA/FBI falseflag happens with the perpetrator only identified as a lone transgender woman named Jo Antifa>All hell breaks loose>America balkanizes overnight as voters from red/blue factions flee to their respective states to avoid being lynched by the other side>After about 2-3 years of a stalemate the federal government runs out of money because red states don't produce anything of economic value>Within 2 years of the US balkanizing into 5 different countries Mexico puts up a border wall to keep third worlder Texans from entering their country illegally. >>2649064>Trump will announce putting ICE at every polling place to "catch illegal voters"this is definitely happening
>>2649064I’ve been looking into the insurrection act and from what I can tell it’s nowhere near as powerful as he’s making it,out to be, he’s def gonna try something like stoping people from going or calling the polls illegitimate, but ultimately things will continue onward. All we can really do is keep fighting and wait and see.
>>2649055One is true, the other is a stage of grief we call "denial"
>>2649066as usual with Trump the truth is more muddy than he makes it out to be. he's gonna try to say the insurrection act turns the president into a dictator, and dems will be forced to either challenge him on that or accept him as dictator. 70% odds the dems just cuck out and accept him as dictator. but if they don't then they have the option of invoking their national guard troops to defend their states from federal occupation, and it'll turn into a constitutional crisis that the current supreme court is too illegitimate to believably resolve. so at that point it's up to the individual troops to choose whose side they want to die for.
>>2649070Suck it up buttercup. Get the lead out!
>>2649070i kinda wish leftypol or some other online leftists had a platform setup for connecting with eachother offline and exchanging resources. the online left is too fragmented if you don't live in a big city. most of us will fucking starve or be killed by fascists because we have no allies nearby.
>>2649061>>2649062>yellowstone eruptionQRD? Is it fizzling or sizzling?
>>2649070Me too. I don't even see a financial future for me in 10 years. I'm wondering if selling my parent's house would be enough to move to China. Do they even have entry level work for dumb turds like me in China? Please let me in…
>>2649064don't americans require to show some form of ID when voting anyway? can non-citizens actually voote or is this a meme?
>>2649078it's the ultimate bubble that dwarfs the AI bubble, the dotcom bubble, and the housing bubble
it's a supervolcanic bubble
dont forget that california is also expected to have a major earth quake in the next 1-50 years
>>2649064>Sometime in October Trump will announce putting ICE at every polling place to "catch illegal voters"I'm laughing at you with my very rural voting station where I live which is someone's old lake clubhouse that gets rented out occasionally because the town didn't know where else to put it.
People forget how rural a lot of America is I think. Cities are definitely fucked though.
>>2649077I hope people get to work on that soon.
>>2649073Perhaps but I'm nervous for everyone else in the world as well.
>>2649074I'm trying but life sucks.
>>2649077I agree a greater exchanging of resources would be beneficial, legal information especially.
>>2649079Sorry man, things suck but let's try to make them better.
>>2649078Yellowstone is a nothingburger. The fact that there continious activity and tremors means pressure founds a way to be released instead of mounting up. It had big eruptions in the past but it has literally fizzle out.

If you need medication and have no money/insurance, understand that doctors will just give it to you because of their Hippocratic oath. You just have to cause enough of a scene to get it.

Get in shape, get a plan, get a passport. Now. Not tomorrow. Now.
Any other questions?
>>2649118NTA but
1. How are we so sure it’s gonna all collapse?
2. How can we also be sure that where we go, be it China or Europe or whatever the consequences of said fall will not reach us?
>>2649121It's not going to collapse it's going to be terror for a decade and a half. I'm almost certain. There's something in the air. I'm sorry I just can't explain it any other way because i don't have the time. You don't have to go full hog in all your preparations, but you NEED to be prepared. It's better to be prepared than not.
>>2649121also replying to 2.
Almost anywhere else will have a higher chance of rewarding resistance. If you stay here without significant resources and connections, you'll be under the FULL SOVEREIGN WRATH of the fascists. Anywhere else, they at least have to travel some distance to get to you. And at least you'll have the support of the local resistance with their own sovereign military.

And maybe I should have made it clear, yes they should also reach out and find others to mutually help each other, because it's just rational and exponentially more efficient that way. But either way, your callousness isn't fucking helping.
It actually isn't a bad idea to get a passport now if you can afford it. At bare minimum.

When is China going to fix their fucked up internet though?
Every serious American Communist must learn Spanish immediately
If you don't know spanish already, get the fuck in gear. It's a very very easy language to learn for native english speakers. With the right Anki deck and a few apps to help you, as well as PLENTY OF COMPREHENSIBLE INPUT (look this up), you can become conversationally fluent in 3 months no joke.
There is no excuse not to be learning Spanish. You will be helping those most targeted by the Fascist Regime, and you will be rewarded with the most loyal comradery you've ever felt.
I may be putting together a list of resources soon as a copypasta, similar to the deng scroll, if I get around to it. I already made a lot of progress last year with just an anki flashcard deck, but I know it can be done even faster.
Anyways, as always:

>>2649139A citizen enjoys more rights than a non-citizen and is able to change politics unlike non-citizens if grouped together with other citizens of said state. None of this is controversial.
>>2649150i appreciate that you move the goalposts quite a bit (by using the 'some' qualifier) but it's still wishful thinking, sorry
>>2649152not the previous anon, im just pointing out that some probably will. its not wishful thinking to point that some decent people do exist

>>2649149Buddy I've done it myself. They will do it and you will have "debt" but it doesn't matter.
>>2649160>>2649155historically the voters have influenced and changed politics to a degree. For example, I dont think any of the 2016 bourg would have supported trumps extreme tariffs in 2024. Or any of trumps more so extreme actions.
>>2649163you are correct, and the other anon arguing with you is missing the mark slightly: those are bandaids, but the overall big picture "whale" moving history forward is that the fascist imperialist nature that is the teleological entity of the USA will render electoralism completely ineffectual when required for its continuation, as we are about to see this year.
>>2649165>USA will render electoralism completely ineffectual when required for its continuation, as we are about to see this year.grim times ahead
>>2649163>>2649165However, paradoxically, we still must
attempt elections, even if the most conscious of us understand it will be "futile" as a way to prove to the sections of the masses that are able to comprehend, that we are in a new era.
This paradox is something that the "anti-electoralists" here on leftypol and elsewhere, fail to understand. Lenin lead the masses through a series of trials of which he already knew the futility, in order to allow the masses to learn for themselves through experiential and participatory knowing, what is actually necessary.
>>2649051That's why Americans are going to be as shocked as Soviets were when things just seemed to fell so fast in a month. The balkanization will show that this country isn't as indivisible as many believe
>>2649151>A citizen enjoys more rightsThat's because the state has spent years molding the citizen and in return it gives small privileges to the compliant. All of which can be taken away at any point. The prison system is designed for this. From the small decisions of choosing what food you eat, to controlling all movement and social interaction up to taking your life.
>is able to change politicsThe change is only what is allowed by the ruling class. True they will use votes as a barometer to decide how to react to any potential unease but the citizen is always subject to their control in the end. Voting is a pressure system, not a steering wheel.
>None of this is controversial.To liberals who buy the propaganda. Of course they have been taught this since birth.

>>2648952Goddamn gusanos are such cucks
>>2649160Im not american nor do i vote. If you read Marx and Lenin you'd know that the state is a tool of political suppression of one class by another. So just throwing "citizen" out there means nothing

>>2649192>Untrue. Historically proven wrong. Move along!Ruling class doesn't give up power because of votes. Violence has always been the way to do it.
>Voooting is a meaningless actYes.
>unless you have a strong communist party that does entryism.??? I never said anything like this.
>and you dare telling me that you labor aristocrat assholes "can't into better?"I'm just saying they've been brainwashed since birth to think voting does something meaningful and violence is evil.
>>2649196Blaming the American working class for being slightly better off for Empire is like blaming comfortable house slaves for Slavery. House slaves might have it relatively better than other slaves but they didn't create the slave system, they had been taught to accept it since birth, they could not overthrow it by themselves and despite their extra treats they were ultimately at the mercy of their masters.
>>2649251>Ruling class doesn't give up power because of votes. Violence has always been the way to do it.What KIND of violence, you stupid American? Individualistic, terroristic pseudo-violence? If so, the school shooters of today in America are the fucking vanguard.
>Blaming the American working class for being slightly better off for Empire is like blaming comfortable house slaves for Slavery.Both are completely valid criticisms, fyi.
>House slaves might have it relatively better than other slaves but they didn't create the slave system=

But the idea was to make it part of a larger movement and that role is supposed to be a specialized one that disrupts the capitalist leadership. It's just targeted revolutionary violence. Those groups are supposed to be the snipers that attack officers, not the line infantry.
>>2649253>Individualistic, terroristic pseudo-violence?Organized obviously.
>Both are completely valid criticismsHow are house slaves responsible for slavery?
>sure, I was born a labor aristocrat, sure, I enjoy its fruits, but I didn't create the le >system<! Check mate, atheists!Yeah? Re-saying the point sarcastically doesn't refute anything.
>>2649258>How are house slaves responsible for slavery?By becoming integral to the economically exploitative and socially oppressive system and benefiting from it?
Are you like 12?
>>2649303Reproducing an exploitative, oppressive and criminal system? Like a worker?
>>2649196>I'm a hecking innocent victim in all of this even though I enjoy all the benefits of Empire!Proof that third worldists think in terms of moral ideals and not historical necessity or class interests.
>>2649343Inshallah these trends will intensify.
>>2649303>By becoming integral to the economically exploitative and socially oppressive systemExcept they were not integral, they were literally a luxury good. They were fully expendable and could be sent to the fields at any point at a whim. Historically when a house slave killed their master it wouldn't end slavery, they would just be publicly tortured and killed by a local militia. The role would then go to a different slave.
>>2649341The privileges in question are purchasing commodities for a wage as well lmao
>>2649353One has to wonder if Brazillian proles are integral beneficiaries of the system. After all they've got it so much better than proles in the Congo, and they've never overthrown their bourgeoisie. Coincidence? I think not.
>NEW YORK – Central Intelligence Agency director John Ratcliffe met with Venezuela’s interim leader in Caracas to discuss cooperation, a US official said on Jan 16, in the most senior known visit by a US official since the US toppled President Nicolas Maduro in January.Mr Ratcliffe met on Jan 15 with Ms Delcy Rodriguez at the direction of President Donald Trump, “to deliver the message that the United States looks forward to an improved working relationship,” the official said.
They discussed intelligence cooperation, economic stability and the need to ensure that Venezuela was no longer a “safe haven for America's adversaries, especially narco-traffickers”.
The visit took place the same day that Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize medal to Mr Trump at the White House.
Since sending troops to seize Maduro, Washington has held back from saying the opposition should take power, despite having previously said Machado’s ally rightfully won an election in 2024.
Ms Rodriguez, who served as vice president under Maduro, took over the presidency on an interim basis after the US military seized Maduro and flew him to the United States to stand trial for drug charges.
Washington has said she is favourable as an interim leader to preserve stability.
The US official said the two-hour meeting with Mr Ratcliffe was focused on building trust between the US and Venezuela.

Israeli logistical support for Iran during the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988)
Israel sold Iran US$75 million worth of arms from stocks of Israel Military Industries, Israel Aircraft Industries and Israel Defense Forces stockpiles, in their Operation Seashell in 1981.[37] Material included 150 M-40 antitank guns with 24,000 shells for each gun, spare parts for tank and aircraft engines, 106 mm, 130 mm, 203 mm and 175 mm shells and TOW missiles. This material was transported first by air by Argentine airline Transporte Aéreo Rioplatense and then by ship. The same year Israel provided active military support against Iraq by destroying the Osirak nuclear reactor near Baghdad, which the Iranians themselves had previously targeted, but the doctrine established by the attack would increase potential conflict in future years.
Arms sales to Iran that totaled an estimated $500 million from 1981 to 1983 according to the Jafe Institute for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University. Most of it was paid for by Iranian oil delivered to Israel. "According to Ahmad Haidari, "an Iranian arms dealer working for the Khomeini government, roughly 80% of the weaponry bought by Tehran" immediately after the onset of the war originated in Israel.[38
According to Mark Phythian, the fact "that the Iranian air force could function at all" after Iraq's initial attack and "was able to undertake a number of sorties over Baghdad and strike at strategic installations" was "at least partly due to the decision of the Reagan administration to allow Israel to channel arms of US origin to Iran to prevent an easy and early Iraqi victory".[39]
Despite all the speeches of Iranian leaders and the denunciation of Israel at Friday prayers, there were never less than around one hundred Israeli advisers and technicians in Iran at any time throughout the war, living in a carefully guarded and secluded camp just north of Tehran, where they remained even after the ceasefire.[40]
Israeli sales also included spare parts for U.S.-made F-4 Phantom jets.[41] Ariel Sharon believed it was important to "leave a small window open" to the possibility of good relations with Iran in the future.[42

Marc Rich, an Israeli-Swiss businessman with international ties, began doing business in Iran through his Glencore company headquartered in Switzerland. Rich ignored US and international sanctions on Iran and became the primary trader of Iranian oil for 15 years.[203] He claimed that the oil he bought from Iran was shipped to Israel and both countries were aware of this transaction.[204] Rich provided the Iranian government with weapons and missiles through the Iran–Iraq War
Rich was born in 1934 to a Jewish family in Antwerp, Belgium.[2][3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Richfollowing the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, during the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Rich used his special relationship with Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution, to buy oil from Iran despite the American embargo. According to Forbes Magazine, Asadollah Asgaroladi was also the secret business partner of Rich in helping bypass U.S. sanctions against Iran after the Iranian revolution.[16] Iran would become Rich's most important supplier of crude oil for more than 15 years. Rich sold Iranian oil to Israel through a secret pipeline.[17][18][19] Due to his good relationship with Iran and Ayatollah Khomeini, Rich helped give Mossad's agents contacts in Iran.[20]
He popularised the use of letters of credit in the oil trade.[21][22]
Rich had made substantial donations to Israeli charitable foundations over the years, and many senior Israeli officials, such as Shimon Peres and Ehud Olmert, argued on his behalf behind the scenes.[40] Many leading figures of the Jewish world such as Abraham Foxman, the head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), whose organization had received over $250,000 from Rich over the years also wrote to President Clinton for Rich's pardon.[41][42] Among other leading Jewish leaders writing to Clinton were Shlomo Ben-Ami, Israel's former foreign minister; Michael Steinhardt, a philanthropist and CEO of Steinhardt Associates; and Rabbi Irving Greenberg, chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, which oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Rich was a strong supporter of Israel throughout his life, having donated around $150 million to institutions such as the Israel Museum, Tel Aviv Museum, research centers, theaters, as well as numerous other documented causes over the years.[71]

The 2001 uprising in Herat was a coordinated insurrection and uprising in the Afghan city of Herat as part of the United States war in Afghanistan. The city was captured on November 12 by Northern Alliance forces as well as Special Forces of the United States, the United Kingdom[1] and Iran.[2][3
The U.S. Special Operations teams consisted of U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force under the command of CENTCOM General Tommy Franks. Iranian forces consisted of agents of the Quds Force under the command of Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, commander of the IRGC, and Major General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds Force.[3] The Northern Alliance faction consisted of over 5,000 militiamen under the command of Ismail Khan, a commander in the previous Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan and former governor of Herat before the Taliban came into power in 1995.[citation needed]
UK Special Forces for reasons of national security remained anonymous and did not reveal their formal command structure.[4
The plan, organized by General Franks and General Safavi, was for Iranian Special Forces to discreetly enter the city and form an insurrection against the Taliban. This sudden event was to coincide with the entrance of Ismail Khan's band of Northern Alliance militia members into the city. Meanwhile, a team of U.S. Special Forces and CIA agents would oversee the operation in Tehran alongside Iranian military intelligence.[5]
Combat operations began on October 7, 2001. Towards the end of the month, U.S. air strikes hit targets in and around Herat, including tanks, communications facilities, and tunnel complexes.[6] This also includes the Herat airport, where Russian-made fighters were destroyed.[citation needed]
On 11 November 2001, U.S. Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha 554 ("Tiger 08") was inserted by helicopter near Herat.[7] As planned, Iranian commandos secretly entered Herat to begin the insurrection on November 12, which successfully gave way to what Ismail Khan claimed to be, the local uprising against the Taliban leaders. The Northern Alliance, Shi'ite Hazara factions, and a small group of U.S. Special Forces then entered the city.[5] Herati residents also took part in the uprising with sticks, knives, and guns hidden throughout the populace. The city fell as the Taliban fled towards the mountains along the Iranian border, leaving behind several abandoned tanks. Prisoners, including Chechen and Arab volunteers, were taken to undisclosed locations.[8]
The uprising was met with celebratory gunfire from residents. Iranian media even went as far as to report widespread celebration including 'dancing on the rooftops' and honking car horns.[9]

>>2649541>>2649543And this relevant to what exactly?
>>2649545>t. LeninLenin's definition of labour aristocracy is upper officials in the worker's movement like trade union officials and socialist party members of Parliament. Lenin argued that these people led workers astray and helped convince them to support imperialism which was against their interest. Lenin never believed that workers in imperialist countries were a reactionary class, that imperialism was in their interests, or that regular workers were part of the labour aristocracy. Really sad how much use I get out of this image.

>>2649585>That was all fine and dandy in the early 20th century, but we are living in the 21srYeah and? Strictly speaking the labour aristocracy is arguably much weaker today than it was in Lenin's time. Maybe try making an actual argument for why we should abandon Lenin's understanding of the concept. More importantly, don't claim you're following Lenin when you aren't. This is obvious to anybody actually familiar with his thought and work.

US currency hegemony will be destroyed not just by burgers marching on the fed and burning it down, but by the bourgeois govts. of the world collectively refusing to use dollars. this is why BRICS is a bigger blow to currency hegemony than any amount of "oh my god you evil burgers, save me from you already!!!! you're not real heckin communists!!!!" special pleading posting we get on here.
in the final analysis, imperialism is a world system, and a stage of capitalism, which is a mode of production, rather than the actions of a specific country, or a noose of collective "moral guilt".

And it is therefore our duty, if we wish to remain socialists to go down lower and deeper, to the real masses; this is the whole meaning and the whole purport of the struggle against opportunism. By exposing the fact that the opportunists and social-chauvinists are in reality betraying and selling the interests of the masses, that they are defending the temporary privileges of a minority of the workers, that they are the vehicles of bourgeois ideas and influences, that they are really allies and agents of the bourgeoisie, we teach the masses to appreciate their true political interests, to fight for socialism and for the revolution through all the long and painful vicissitudes of imperialist wars and imperialist armistices.https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/oct/x01.htmI guess if third worldists had actually read Lenin they wouldn't be third worldists.

>With Maduro in U.S. custody, his lieutenants warm to Trump
CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with interim Venezuelan president Delcy Rodríguez on Thursday in Caracas, a U.S. official said.
Two countries with leaders of sharply different ideologies are moving toward the creation of a neo-colony here in South America, with Washington holding the purse strings (and all the cards). The Venezuelans, whether motivated by the threat of more U.S. force or an assessment that a diplomatic reset with their longtime nemesis to the north is now the best — if not only — course, are moving quickly to reestablish formal ties while working on legislation that could grease American investment in the key oil sector.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with interim president Delcy Rodríguez in Caracas on Thursday “to deliver the message that the United States looks forward to an improved working relationship,” a U.S. official said. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the CIA director’s travels, which are not ordinarily made public.
Ratcliffe is the most senior U.S. official to visit Venezuela since U.S. Special Forces captured Maduro and his wife on Jan. 3. While he was in Venezuela, President Donald Trump was meeting at the White House with opposition leader María Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace laureate. Trump has indicated he does not believe Machado and her pro-democracy movement are capable of running Venezuela.
During the two-hour meeting, the U.S. official said, “Director Ratcliffe discussed potential opportunities for economic collaboration and that Venezuela can no longer be a safe haven for America’s adversaries, especially narco traffickers.”
Trump, who until Maduro’s capture condemned his authoritarian regime, hailed Rodríguez, Maduro’s vice president and now Venezuela’s interim leader, as a “terrific woman” after they spoke Wednesday. Cast aside has been Machado — a “nice woman,” Trump said this month, but who “lacks support” and is “not respected.”
Machado, who previously called for the criminal prosecution of the people with whom Trump’s administration is now working, presented him with her Nobel medal during their private meeting Thursday. Meanwhile, a senior Rodríguez emissary — Félix Plasencia, Venezuela’s ambassador to the United Kingdom — was visiting Washington for high-level talks.
Rodríguez, using language that would have been shocking before Maduro’s capture, called this week for a new political era. Her government’s release of some political prisoners, she said, should make clear that Venezuela aims to “allow understanding” and embraces a “political and ideological diversity.” She was seeking energy cooperation with the U.S., she said Thursday, “based on decency, dignity and independence.”
A second former U.S. official said the regime’s release in recent days of American detainees and some political prisoners “is a sign that there isn’t a lot of leveraging going on.”
“Those are two things that traditionally in the past would’ve been a part of a very intense quid pro quo negotiation,” the former official said. “The fact that these things might be happening without that kind of quid pro quo signals to me that the regime is pretty shell-shocked by what happened.”
The Trump administration this week brokered its first sale of Venezuelan oil for about $500 million, which was deposited into a trust in Qatar, according to people in Venezuela’s oil industry. Officials appear to be laying plans to funnel that money indirectly toward the Venezuelan economy, according to Venezuelan economists and business leaders familiar with the discussions.
Three hundred million dollars is expected to be sold to the four largest private banks in Venezuela, economic analyst Alejandro Grisanti said. The banks would then auction off the foreign currency and direct the proceeds to the economy, prioritizing food and medical sectors. The Central Bank of Venezuela will receive the bolivars generated by these auctions and may use them only to pay salaries and employee benefits.
“It is a fundamental measure for maintaining economic stability in Venezuela,” Grisanti said. “It proves that there is good coordination between the United States and Venezuela to take swift action.”
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the U.S. would control the sale of “all of their oil and natural gas.” The proceeds will be directed first to U.S.-controlled accounts at globally recognized banks, an administration official said, to guarantee the legitimacy and integrity of their distribution.
Talks are underway in Venezuela about allowing the dollar to flow freely in the economy, one business leader here said. Rodríguez, as vice president, supported the idea internally, the person said; others in the regime argued it “would mean putting ourselves in the hands of the U.S.”
The U.S. blockade of Venezuelan oil meant that crude filled tankers and storage facilities, leaving little room for more. The regime is now looking to oil traders authorized by the Trump administration to move the undelivered crude urgently. If the glut forces the shutdown of oil fields, they will be costly to restart.
The new setup could be a boon for a sector that has struggled in the vise of U.S. sanctions and Trump’s blockade.
“They are avoiding a certain sort of collapse of the economy in exchange for something that is uncertain,” he said, but has upsides in that oil proceeds of sales will no longer be black money that needs to be laundered or hidden.
U.S. sanctions have prevented U.S. companies from doing business here without special licenses. The regime now wants the administration to approve more licenses, to get cash flowing in the economy and show that the shift toward the United States has a payoff.
Some oil revenue could be used to fund government contracts for U.S. companies to rebuild Venezuela’s blackout-plagued electricity grid, according to two people familiar with the talks. Rodríguez officials are also discussing U.S. investment in other sectors, including mining, they said.
Internally, the regime is discussing laws that could reduce curbs on foreign investment and offer new legal rights and protections to encourage reluctant American firms.
That’s a radical departure from Chávez, who, after his reelection in 2006, declared the United States “the biggest menace to our planet.”
Maduro, who took control of the regime on Chávez’s death in 2013, called repeatedly for better relations. But having claimed reelection in three elections viewed as fraudulent — a Washington Post review of tally sheets from the 2024 contest showed that Machado’s candidate is likely to have won more than two-thirds of the vote — he was seen by the administration as too toxic.
Former Chavista lawmaker Maria Alejandra Díaz, a constitutional lawyer, said the new relationship, and the possibility that the administration will try to impose it elsewhere in Latin America, is both surprising and worrying. “We don’t know if it’s out of fear or because it was already part of a plan,” she said.
If there’s one thing Chávez ensured, she said, “it was the independent and sovereign management of our resources. … He would be turning over in his grave.”

A lot of people are coping so hard about how delcy sold out to the usa. She even held meetings for over half a year with usa officials with her brother planning the change without maduro. Hugo Chávez also hated her.
>From February to August 2006, Rodríguez was the Minister for Presidential Affairs.[29] Her tenure was short-lived due to reported tensions with president Hugo Chávez.[29][30] She reportedly refused to show the "personal homage" expected by the president.[29] According to profiles published in Tal Cual and El Estímulo [es], Rodríguez disregarded established hierarchies and maintained a direct attitude that alienated her from the presidential inner circle.[29][1] Travelling to an official visit to Moscow in 2006, it was reported that Rodríguez engaged in a heated argument with Chávez and swore at him;[1] Chávez dismissed her, and she had to return immediately to Venezuela.[1] In 2007, Rodríguez served as the General Coordinator to the Vice-President of Venezuela, both of which roles she held while her brother occupied the office of Vice President of the Republic.[31] In August 2013, President Nicolás Maduro appointed her as the Minister of Popular Power for Communication and Information of Venezuela, a position in which she was reaffirmed in 2014 and maintained until October 2014.[32]Read here for a newer update
>>2649829And here is the one of meeting for months. You can find various sources on this. It was even being reported on way before maduro was removed
https://havanatimes.org/features/the-secret-negotiations-between-the-usa-and-delcy-rodriguez/Delcy Rodríguez and her brother Jorge attended secret meetings in Doha with Qatari intermediaries and a senior UAE royal, acting as channels to President Trump, to discuss the removal of Nicolás Maduro last year.
An initial proposal presented to the U.S. called for:
• Maduro to step down but remain in Venezuela
• U.S. criminal charges to be dropped
• U.S. oil companies granted access
• Delcy Rodríguez to assume controlThat proposal failed.
A second proposal suggested Rodríguez lead a transition government, with Maduro going into exile in Qatar or Turkey. The U.S. rejected this as well, citing concerns it amounted to “Madurismo without Maduro” - a regime-lite outcome.
Rodríguez is now Interim President of Venezuela. Reporting indicates Maduro was unaware these talks were taking place.

President Trump plans to pardon Puerto Rico's former governor, Wanda Vázquez Garced, who pleaded guilty last year in a federal public corruption case, multiple sources told CBS News on Friday.
Her two co-defendants, the billionaire Venezuelan-Italian banker and Britannia Financial Group founder Julio Martin Herrera-Velutini and Mark Rossini, will also be pardoned for their crimes in the bribery scheme, two of the sources said.

What might have been a routine hearing to confirm a real estate sale morphed into a nearly nine-hour marathon Thursday as attorneys for tenants and Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration attempted to win financial guarantees from the international real estate firm set to purchase more than 5,100 rent-stabilized New York City apartments.
In a somewhat unusual move, the bank financing the deal offered to extend a $3 million line of credit to fund repairs in deteriorating apartments. By the end of the day, lawyers for Summit Properties USA, the company planning to purchase the 93-building portfolio from a bankrupt owner, were negotiating with the city and tenants around a binding timeline and specific cash commitment to address thousands of housing code violations.
The potential conditions on the sale could mark a partial victory for Mamdani, who vowed on his first day in office to improve life for renters in the buildings. Tenants who had been organizing across dozens of buildings owned by the company Pinnacle Group said they were optimistic after the hearing adjourned late in the evening.
“I felt in a lot of ways proud of what we forced to happen,” said Zara Cadoux, a Brooklyn renter and leader in the citywide Union of Pinnacle Tenants. “I think the sale will be approved, but what I hope is that the judge does put some additional orders that provide assurances for repairs.”
Summit spokesperson Jordan Barowitz said the company “has the capacity and the commitment to preserve, restore and improve the 5,151 units and the lives of residents.”

>Scoop: Trump and Netanyahu discussed Iran in second phone callPresident Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone Thursday evening to discuss the situation in Iran, according to two sources with knowledge of the call.
Why it matters: It's their second call in two days as Trump reviews his options for a possible military strike or diplomatic negotiations with an Iranian regime rocked by widespread protest and upheaval.
The White House and the prime minister's office declined to comment.
Driving the news: During their first call on Wednesday, Netanyahu asked Trump to hold off on military action against Iran to give Israel more time to prepare for potential Iranian retaliation.
It was one of the reasons Trump decided to delay orders for the U.S. military to move forward with a strike against Iran.
U.S. officials say military action is still on the table if Iran resumes killing protesters. Israeli officials think that despite the delay, a U.S. military strike could take place in the coming days.
State of play: On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke on the phone with both Netanyahu and the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and offered to mediate between the countries in order to de-escalate the situation, the Kremlin said.
What we're watching: Netanyahu sent the head of the Mossad spy agency. David Barnea, to the U.S. for consultations on Iran. Barnea is expected to meet White House envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami on Friday.
The big picture: At a conference of the Israeli-American Council in Miami on Thursday night, Witkoff said he hopes for a diplomatic solution with Iran.
He noted that any deal will have to address Iran's uranium enrichment, reduce its inventory of ballistic missiles, take the Iranian stockpile of 2000 kilograms of enriched uranium out of the country and stop Iranian support for its proxies in the region.
"I think if Iran, which is stumbling it its economy. It's a pretty serious situation. Inflation is well north of 50%," Witkoff said. "If they want to come back to the League of Nations, we can solve those four problems diplomatically and that would be a good resolution and the alternative will be a bad one."

On January 16, the government of Venezuela, led by Interim President Delcy Rodríguez, submitted a bill to the National Assembly proposing a partial reform of the Organic Law of Hydrocarbons. The aim is to attract investment to the oil sector, particularly in areas lacking infrastructure or remaining undeveloped.
"We brought the hydrocarbons law reform bill to incorporate the production models that exist in the Anti-Blockade Law so that investment flows can be included and our hydrocarbons can be protected," Rodríguez was quoted as saying by Venezuelan daily Ultimas Noticias.
She added that the changes would allow those investment flows to be applied to new fields or fields that have not been developed due to a lack of infrastructure.
The proposal comes as the administration of President Donald Trump has expressed interest in reactivating Venezuela's oil sector and encouraging investment by major U.S. companies after years of stagnation, sanctions and legal restrictions.
Addressing lawmakers, senior military officials, representatives of Venezuela's branches of government and relatives of Maduro including detained lawmaker Flores, Rodríguez defended the energy agreement with the Trump administration as part of what she described as Venezuela's historic trade relationship with the United States and urged officials not to fear contradictions, according to digital outlet Efecto Cocuyo.
Current law requires state oil company PDVSA to hold a majority stake in all joint ventures with foreign partners. The reform could introduce more flexible arrangements for foreign investors, though specific details have not been disclosed.

>>2650044I've been following these guys since they started showing up at demonstrations. I'd say they're properly based since they are very much in the mold of the old panthers being anti-racist but not Black Nationalist. I would prefer they took opportunities like this to spread more ideas about class politics rather than a more general siding with "the people" against "oppression" but I won't nitpick people doing such important work.
Trump: The insurrection act which has been used by the 48% of the presidents as of this moment… And if I needed it, I'd use it I don't think there's any reason to use it. But if I needed it, I would use it. It's very powerful.

Have you considered holding yourself to your own high standards?
If not actively picking up a gun and killing folks means you actively support empire, then what does that say about the fact that you're doing nothing but getting into arguments from the safety of a keyboard?

Okay, so you're calling yourself a spoiled child who expects others to do praxis for you while you waste your life online.

I know we are all supoosed to hate Trotsky here but his "History of the Russian Revolution" is a great read.
I think there is a bit too much focus on abstract theory and not enough historical book keeping and historic analyses of the classes and their motion.

Trump's envoy to Greenland Jeff Landry told Fox News on Friday that the US should talk with Greenland's leaders, not Denmark.
"I do believe that there's a deal that should and will be made once this plays out," he said.
"The president is serious. I think he's laid the markers down. He's told Denmark what he's looking for, and now it's a matter of having Secretary [of State Marco] Rubio and Vice-President JD Vance make a deal.
"The United States has always been a welcoming party. We don't go in there trying to conquer anybody and trying to take over anybody's country. We say, 'Listen. We represent liberty. We represented economic strength. We represent protection.'"
The thing I think I hate most about idpol is its tendency for its adherents to make everything about them and throw a fit when it isn't. Even generally based and class conscious organizations are guilty of this. Red Nation (who I normally like) put out an episode titled "Is the Attack on Venezuela an Indian War?" Seriously wtf kind of question is that? First off, it isn't since Venezuela is a settler state itself. Second, even if it was of what relevance is this? An imperialist war is an imperialist war regardless of the ethnicity of its victims, and the communist position on it remains the same. Mfs really see shit like the US bombing Venezuela and their first thought is "How can I make this about me?"

Less than a week after the University of Arkansas announced that Emily Suski would serve as the new dean of its law school, the university withdrew its job offer because right-wing legislators complained that Suski once signed an amicus court brief supporting transgender athletes.
On Wednesday, the law school said in a statement that it had “decided to go a different direction in filling the vacancy” rather than follow through with Suski’s hiring. The statement didn’t explain the university’s reasoning, but in a January 14 Facebook post, Democratic state Rep. Nicole Clowney explained that Suski was one of 17 academics who signed an amicus court brief in a lawsuit challenging an anti-trans sports ban.

>>2650113>He the only one w the balls to shit on burgersthere's like several posters, some anons, some namefags, who dedicate their entire personality to it. For months, this was the opening text, which I put in every single thread that I made:
<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™ I literally linked to william blum's coup list and dessaline's list of US atrocities as well
yet somehow, we still have anons who think they are unique and alone and besieged for having the "balls" to say "amerika bad"
