>>2659790Remember, legal + illegal struggle
Remember, praxis + theory
Remember, it's not impossible
im glad trump is ruining the dollar as a third worlder i can get chinese treats for even cheaper now
Reminder that an American communist who does not place the immediate and complete dismantlement of NATO as his top priority is not a communist at all.
fascist country. fascist society.
>>2660614lacking some class analysis. this is class conflict seen through the lens of generational politics. it pits the young/wannabe homeowners against the old/existing homeowners. It pits the resale value of the homes of people who will be mostly dead in 20 years against the future prospects of people who were born after the USSR collapsed. But in both cases, it is looking at a group of people who are largely petty bourgeois. Far too much class conflict in the US is looked at through the lens of generational politics and home ownership. Moving away from the limitations of this form of analysis is essential to the intensification of class struggle.
>>2660837the class conscious american, to the extent that we exist, should also yearn for the death of the dollar, because even though it will bring hardship, it will intensify class struggle in the USA.
the US is just threatening to murder Haitians politicians, just now. out in the open. not just covert. literally overtly, publicly declared.
>>2660771Wrong. The Third-World cannot exploit itself.
>>2660773Wrong. If all oil magically stopped existing, imperialism would remain.
>>2660777Ironic. You response contain zero brain cell. Never respond to me unless you have substance you goddamn yankee monkey
>>2660778This meme is wrong for multitutde of reasons. This meme ony serves imperialism.
1. for propagating the myth of the poor oppressed citizen amerikan, depict themselves as equally enslaved.
2. For calling Venezuela comprador. This lie is very popular among the imperialist "left" for obvious reason. They say they do not benefit from imperialism while subsisting from and helping imperialism
>>2660861Haiti still has politicians? I thought the CIA already used Colombian DEA agents to kill the last one and it’s been nothing but gang violence in Port Au Prince ever since
>>2660877>The Third-World cannot exploit itself.So third world capitalists and landowners don't exploit third world workers and peasants?
>>2660856>But in both cases, it is looking at a group of people who are largely petty bourgeoisThat isn't what "petty bourgeois" means jfc.
>>2660879True, and there are sub imperialist countries in the third world as well. And even in imperialized countries there are peripheries and core
>>2660244Nixon thought Americans would all become comp sci experts in lieu of manufacturing jobs. But that didn't pan out because Americans are based retards who handed China the W 50 years in advance
As in, it is ridiculous to look at UAE and Egypt fighting over Sudan and say that the Third World exist as a cohesive block in the way proles are (used to be?)
>>2660881TWists should really be ashamed, the Duginite has a better understanding of class relations and imperialism than they do.
More like TWits lmao
>>2660861What, they haven’t decimated that country enough? Afraid they’ll start making an Abrams tank out of mud?
>>2660877>Third World can’t exploit itselfTell that to Paul Kagame and M23
>>2660872they are the political class. yes.
>>2660878basically a junta. but fucking shit, they can't stop messing around. maybe the junta befriended the democrats, maybe they want to put someone more subservient, I don't know. it's not up to the US to go around threatening and murdering whatever shit there is.
>>2660898> basically a junta. but fucking shitYou say that like the average junta in Haiti is good or competent, I don’t think that’s been true since emperor JJD
apparently it's very cold in minneapolis but we will never know how cold because USAnians use fake units. F stands for fake.
>>2660905People kept saying Biden was going to die soon and yet he's still kicking.
>>2660917democrats will keep him on ice just so they can use him as a "told you so" in 2028
>>2660896I believe Ted was actually seen at the airport so you better get ready.
>>2660905donald trump will live to be one hundred and start his third term in 2028
>>2660905I don’t believe it, he has the money and influence to keep himself going for three hundred years like Mr House, and he will do it
>>2660916The conversion is easy, just take the number in celcius and add 32 and you have the temperature in fakenheit
>>2660045when you ask the yanqui chimp to stop raping and bombing the world for 5 fucking seconds he screeches that you are a "fed" and insists that you are saying "total burger death."
Remarkable narcissism from the yanqui chimp.
>>2660916it stands for freedom. c stands for communism. get out of here commie
>Thread for the discussion of political affairs in the US
>It's just morons spamming the word "yanqui"
>>2660938There is no politics in America, it’s all wrestling kayfabe
>>2660938only 2 posts ITT have said that so far, one of which is yours. There are 22 posts ITT.
>>2660904everyone that has been there, ousted and placed, it's been the result of direct or indirect US intervention.
>>2660879Correct. The laboring nations cannot exploit themselves, national bourgeoisies included. Mao said landlord and comprador are the same, therefore landlords are imperialist exploiter. The Third-World cannot exploit itself.
>>2660897He comprador. He is agent of amerika. Yankee monkeys always project their evils onto the good people
>>2660943The Dominican Republic was the original color revolution
>>2660942dont bother, he is a democrat LLM
>>2660942Fuck off you blithering moron; the rest of the thread, as every one prior, will be devoted to engaging with the baffling stupidity of posters who just come here to ragebait and spam the word "fascism"
>>2660942There's an anon here who lives to bitch about the few troll posts while ignoring all the other interesting ones.
Also, it is correct to be toxic towards Americans.
>>2660877>The Third-World cannot exploit itselfThird worldist rhetoric and theory is done by the Third world ruling class. They purposefully ignore their own exploitation and oppression of the local population and pretend it's only the outside colonizers who do it. But they are simply mad they don't rule absolutely.
The Dalit need to rise up and kill all the Hindu oppressors btw
America has been fascist since the English landed here in the 1600s
>>2660930Completely wrong lmao
>>2660946when you ask the yanqui chimp to stop raping and bombing the world for 5 fucking seconds he screeches "moralism"
Remarkable psychopathy from the Yanqui Chimp.
I've heard enough of your ooh ooh ah ah
>>2660956Ting tang, walla walla bing bang
>Waah waah why r u so mean to mean to us americans we americans r just smolbean prole too u know???😭😭😭
>Upps i'm sorry for accidentally nuking your country's economy with tariffs ehe bleh 😋😝 i'm just a smol qt prole trying to make it as part of the worlds richest people in existence, it is brutal out there u know
>>2660948Is America fascist and the most imperialist country in history? Yes or no.
honkoid status?
Dickriders status?
>>2660958Not my or anyone’s fault if they make less than 80,000 per year
>>2660958Poor amriqi prole is in the imperial core
Amriqi prole has it harder than anyone else
>>2660963Fentanyl is a hell of a drug
>>2660962Can you donate some spare change to India we really need that
>>2660956oppression olympics gold champ 🏅
Reminder that drugs and junk food are the greatest anti imperialist force in history, they’re literally crippling America’s physical ability for imperialist action
the kayfabe is a patsy y'all
>>2660967Sure, how do I avoid it going to any of the BJP and RSS affiliated orgs? I just watched Ram Ki Noon and I wish death upon all Hindutva
>>2660973Wishing is all you can do since you won't lift a finger to bomb wall street
>>2660970Junk food is about the only good thing the US ever produced tbh
I will rather eat cancermakerxenoestrogen transburger 3000 than whatever fermented roots peasants used to eat
Is it true that there’s been a resurgence of the black panther party because of ice, or is it just larp?
>>2660977How would bombing wall street hurt the BJP or RSS?
>>2660970the UAE is anti imperialist for inventing Dubai chocolate and getting americans addicted to it
>>2660981It’s the New Black Panthers, who take a racial separatist and FBA black nationalist stance instead of the communalist or rainbow coalition stances
>>2660981The new BPP is pro-ICE and that's sending their white liberal worshippers in a meltdown.
That is the natural consequence of fetishising mid LARPers and aura farmers like the Black Panthers.
>>2660982It would hurt America and that is what you should focus on.
>>2660973There is an investigative list made by Caravan documenting every single RSS sockpuppet and most of the non Indian ones are in the US and Houston specifically its very fucking funny
But jokings aside please lobby your local congressman to remove those fucking tariffs Trump just bitchslapped on Modi we are actually being pressed by that nonsense, American consumers suffer too because now you will have to buy overpriced Amerikkkan corn and soybean in your food instead of cheap Indian exports, also think of it as striking a blow against the Amerikkkan """" farming"""" lobby
>>2660987America is already doing a better job of hurting itself than I ever could
>>2660991true but most of thats coming from trump
When did Felix last post here?
Is he dead?
>>2660995Tbh he got bullied really hard last time, some of you firangi saars were extremely vicious online. I'm not surprised if cpusa anon alsp dipped out bcoz of how toxic the us general is
>>2660996Wait a second
Are we witnessing the birth of a new leftypol meme
>>2660995he was captured by DSSA operatives and is currently being brainwashed in their anti-Communist dungeons
>>2661000It used to be Baboons. Now I guess it's orangutans I guess
extemely disappointed to see that usapollers have not started an armed insurrection against their imperialist machinery
>>2661011>Slav brideOttoman Sultan Danishmend ibn Trump
>>2660951Wrong. Under imperialism, the national bourgeoisie becomes exploited.
the price of silver is skyrocketing
>>26610202 more weeks til 1:12 ratio…
so no strike?
>>2661020the price of all commodities shall increase relative to the dollar, because the dollar eternally inflates. It is built into the monetary system.
>>2661019Dalit will kill you, oppressor.
>>2661054they could have sent representatives.
Look who were there:
1. Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán
2. President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto
3. Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jordan Ayman Safadi
4. President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
5. President of the Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu
6. Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif
7. President of the Republic of Paraguay Santiago Peña
8. Prime Minister of the State of Qatar Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani
9.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud
10.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey Hakan Fidan
11.
Chairman of the Executive Authority Affairs of the United Arab Emirates Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak
12. President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev
13. Prime Minister of Mongolia Gombojavyn Zandanshatar
Russia imposed a condition that it's probably a 'fuck you' for trump.
Israel didn't like to be seen around to many Arabs, most likely.
So let's check the accomplishments of the western left so far this year!
>white liberal divorcee got killed white knighting for immigrants
>"protests" are purely performative libshit with dancing and frog costumes
>ICE restrains themselves despite constant liberal provoking
>Bovino humiliates activists by debunking hysterical claims about child kidnapping
>not even a couple weeks into what was promised to be BLM 2.0 and the protests are already fizzling out
>the "general strike" went completely unnoticed even in Minneapolis
But I'm sure you'll have that communist revolution and rescue the poor third world from the heckin Dengist redfash any day now!
>>2661072Can you give us ideas on what to actually do next instead then or are you just going to keep complaining about what has already been done.
>>2661074>freaking>dude>final boss arenasoyllenial yanqui chimp
>>2661079Am i wrong though?! LOOK AT IT!
Why are we chimp posting?
>>2661077Will you get it through your head there is no winning here?
buncha pansies. it's not ''that' 'cold.
>>2661084So then what do we do? just lie down and die?
>>2661077Complaining? Who's complaining? I'm just observing objective reality and laughing at your incompetence. The truth is like many other anons have said before and will continue to say until it sinks in is that you will never have a communist revolution in America because American workers including those in this thread are overwhelmingly in favor of the system of rape and exploitation of the imperial periphery that props up your decadent lifestyle and would rather murder billions than ever even consider giving them up. It's really that simple, and yet the LARP is endless
>>2661090So, then what is to be done with us? You basically give us no options other than to be good little slaves until the world burns.
>>2660984Mmh are we sure it's the New BPP? Could be people/groups inspired by the aesthetic and pratices of BPP but not New BPP
>>2661072Why are you here and not on /pol/?
>>2661085it's cold relative to what these states' shitty crumbling infrastructure is designed to handle, not relative to your personal experience as /Siberian/
>>2661074You need to ascend to the top floor and duke it out shirtless with the CEO, Yakuza style.
>>2661087>>2661092Oh no, a few accidents happened in a country of hundreds of millions of insane treatlerites. Let me ask you a question, do you think communism means no law enforcement?
>>2661094Destroy America, you have all the tools and theory necessary but you actively refuse to even when the third world begs you. Palestinians spent two years literally begging you liberals to open a second front which you easily could have but you refused and now their blood is on your hands. I'm just pointing out facts, the only person to blame here is yourself.
>>2661100you made your bait too obvious, mass tor baiter
>>2661100The issue is we have families and people we care about too, if we can somehow get them all on board with it then yeah, sure but destroying America will inevitably lead to mass death and carnage in the process. the shockwaves across the world would be horrific enough as is. If we are toy overthrow the system we must do it as a united front. Not multiple pockets of wanton carnage that can easily be stopped by the military in a week at most.
>>2661106Is that from today? People in the previous thread implied the protests fizzled out.
general strike status?
>>2661100You see, this is why no one wants to listen to online communists, instead of explaining the issue and what is to be done in a clear and forward manner they get all snarky and treat people from imperialist countries as lesser and unworthy of life, thus making them not want to actually help the world.
>>2661108those people are feds lmao. It's just kicking off and all the protest streams are live now
>>2661110It's getting there but we're in the early stages rn i think
>>2661105Boohoo, why do YOUR families matter more than the families of billions of people living in unimaginable poverty to sustain your lifestyle?
The mods are probably going to spin up the leftystream soon. For now you have Hasans stream on twitch (not bad) and the link in the OP for Woke.net
>>2661114They don't but realistically most people don't realize they can make conditions better for those halfway across the world. They think they can only effect what's in their local area and in a lot of cases their right. You need to work on galvanizing the populace before any form of real action can be taken, we're in the early stages of a labor movement and we need to capitalize on it instead of saying "Oh woe is me, the first worlders are not waking up fast enough even though with our help they could"
>>2661117Better than sitting on here and complaining about it.
>>2661100mass tor baiter,
I tell you
I am going into leftypol
and I need only your finest bait
>>2661117Their lack of basic knowledge of history/politics is hilarious, how they say "it's absolutely like [x] movie" like you don't have plenty of real life historical examples
>>2661123What would you say the current situation is most like rn?
>>2661117americana illiad and odyssey
>>2661117Sometimes I wish ICE was the gestapo libs pretend they are if only because then they'd get shot like they deserve for shoving their pop culture slop everywhere
>>26611251880s Tsarist Russia
>>2661130The right is more soy than the libs now.
>>2661111why the fuck would we want you yanqui chimps pretending to gain class consciousness and pretending to have a proletarian revolution and disguising yourself as a new country and pretending like you are no longer in debt to us?
we want you to go down with the ship, not to extend your bloodstained paws in fake solidarity with the people you have raped and bombed since plymouth rock. stupid yanqui chimp
>>2661125I mean especially for resistance movements, there was plenty around the world, and there is plenty at this exact time, no need to go to a disney serie
>>2661130Their more like brownshirts if anything. Which means we should focus our tactics on Street-level resistance (paramilitaries vs. paramilitaries) or Legal and political opposition before it's too late
>>2661139Well a lot of us don't want to die so idk what you hope to gain from this conversation
>>2661135stupid fucking yanqui chimp. tsarist peasants and proles actually starved in winter, were exiled to siberia, beaten and jailed by the okhrana, pogromed by the black hundreds, were drafted into bloody wars with other great powers instead of volunteering to curb stomp weaker countries, and most of all they had no treats which pacified them. you are nothing like our communist forefathers in mother russia. disgusting yanqui chimp. keep their name out of your mouth. you endure no such hardship. fuck you for even suggesting so.
>>2661142if you don't want to die stop raping and bombing and making enemies of the whole world. hold your government accountable for once in your disgusting life stupid yanqui chimp. just don't expect us to regard you as a socialist country afterwards.
>>2661142don't let the fedposters get to you lmao. The more american labor and the left organizes, the more vociferous their calls become for total burger suicide to demoralize us.
>>2661143ideologically, 1880s tsarist russia
materially, 2020s america
happy? dumb fucking retard
>>2661145mini-sodas are incapable of organizing a general strike.
>>2661144I don’t hold Egyptians in contempt for what Sisi dies as he doesn’t represent them, our elections are shams decided by a few rich suburbs and exurbs and most of our votes don’t matter, so we aren’t responsible either
>>2661147i won't be happy until the yanqui chimp is in a zoo/museum
>>2661149non sequitur, yanqui chimp. nobody cares whether you hold CIA-backed dictators accountable, because they stem from the yanqui chimp menace anyway
>>2661150racism is so cool i really like it!
>>2661146i don't want you to commit suicide. i want you stop bombing, sanctioning, raping, and embargoing me stupid yanqui chimp. and I want you to pay your debts, as well as 2 centuries of reparations. if you have "revolution" it will be to treat yourself to a higher standard of living. but you owe the rest of the world a lot of reparations and debt. so don't think you get to just have a proletarian revolution on our dime.
>>2661153racism is only against humans and yanqui chimps aren't humans, and yanqui is a nazionality and not a race anyway
>>2661152Being American wasn’t a conscious choice, but an accident of birth, the CPC didn’t hold Puyi accountable for merely being born crown prince and they let him become a street sweeper
>>2661146I guess man, I just don't like calling people feds or tankies because it just shuts down any valid points they may have. We need to get everyone we possibly can on board to stand a chance and infighting is not helping.
>>2661154Not him but who should America pay debts to?
>>2661157Marx and Engles did nothing but infight and they are the greatest socialists of all time because of it
>>2661154Where is your country? i at least wanna help pay reparations to your people.
>>2661158everyone they have ever invaded, couped, sanctioned, bombed, embargoed, loansharked, regime changed, tortured, kidnapped, murdered, raped, sabotaged, and so on. read killing hope stupid yanqui chimp. that is the short version of the list.
>>2661158Everywhere they are responsible for mass death (Germany, Japan, and Canada are the exceptions)
>>2661157no you don't understand just how bad these kinds of posters are. They don't have good points, they don't argue in good faith, and they don't care. It's nothing but unproductive shit flinging when these idiots show up.
>>2661160i am japanese you stupid yanqui chimp. we are the only proud people you have ever dropped a nuclear bomb on. and you raped us with the plaza accords. we tried to become socialist after WW2 and your CIA props up the liberal demokkkrats
>>2661165>japaneselmfao NO room to talk
>>2661166yanqui chimp, you won't use that trick on us. you will pay your debts and undo the damage. otherwise it is just fascism changing disguises.
>>2661161Including Germany and Japan?
Including France?
You can't make everyone who have made a war pay for it. We tried to make Germany pay for 1870 and WWI with poor results.
>>2661162Canada? You mean that war with the brits? That's old.
>>2661168i am japanese communist and your CIA prevents us from overthrowing japanese government and arms liberal demokkkrats. japanese fascism deserved to be destroyed by the USSR, but yanqui chimps destroyed it instead. we would have had socialism if the yanqui chimps had not invented the nuclear bomb and put their CIA liberal demokkkrats here.
>>2661117>Soy warsThey should've used harry potter.
>>2661174Vast majority of Japanese are LDP supporters who want the empire back
>>2661176>Vast majority of Japanese are LDP supporters who want the empire backbecause of yanqui chimp CIA mind virus created in fort detrick. free us from your mind virus. yanqui chimp go home
>On February 8, 1918, the Soviet government repudiated all bonds issued by the Tsarist government when the Soviet of People's Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) cancelled all previously issued Russian government debt.
>At the same time, the Soviets decided to expropriate all assets of foreign nations in Russia. The Soviets also nationalized banks, lands, and industries. By repudiating the external debt, the Soviet government implemented the Petrograd Soviet’s decision of 1905.
holy fucking based
>>2661130>I wish the gestapo was real and murdered libs for being cringe while protesting ethnic cleansingleast hitlerite leftypol glowpost
>>2661174>If Stalin invaded us, we would have become socialistOn paper yes. Look at eastern Europe, this is exactly what you would have got.
>>2661177Bro your whole national project since 1877 has been the rape of Asia
>>2661181It's okay when he does it.
>>2661176In his defense a vanguard could have had a decent chance to take power and do good work, resulting in fewer LDP whackos today.
>>2661181we should have suffered at the hands of soviet soldiers, not at the hands of yanqui chimp bombs and yanqui chimp CIA mind virus. if we had been corrected harshly with soviet invasion, we would be socialist. yanqui chimpout at end of WW2 prevented communist japan. you are apologist for stealing victory from soviets, which was your only reason for entering WW2
Reminder for people here to take their meds
>>2661184Bro wants to get assraped by a soviet soldier
>>2661184Chiang Kai Shek was a genuine friend and ally
>>2661182PRC deserve revenge on us but yanqui chimp presence in south china sea prevents glorious corrective historical movement against CIA mind virus liberal demokkkrat "japan" created by USA.
>>2661186yanqui nuke and yanqui mind virus ruined japan
soviet rape is nazi atrocity propaganda but still preferable to yanqui chimp mind virus.
God japan fucking sucks so much. Especially if this is the kind of communists they produce
>>2661190Japan ruined itself
>>2661165Sure you are. You're Totally not a fed using a VPN.
Besides, calling for the whole "Total Burger Death! Die for your Sins" is just christian spookery taken to it's extreme.
and like
>>2661111 said, this is why no one listens to MTWists. You're a bunch of Westerners blaming other Westerners to try to feel morally superior.
TL;DR Stop being spooked by rebranded Christian moralism.
>>2661191I heard JCP is notoriously whacky but I don't know much about them.
petition to wordfilter yanqui chimp to ching chong ping pong pangolin soup eater
>>2661196Eyy, we got a real comedian here! haha!
>>2661196you are racist against chinese but i am proud japanese communist
>>2661193silence yanqui chimp, it makes no difference if you believe or not
>>2661192japan would have emerged from its own fascist ruins as communist japan were it not for CIA yanqui chimp mind virus.
>>2661191japan sucks because it is liberal demokkkrat CIA mind virus. same with south korea. free the entirety of asia from yanqui "radio free" mind virus and CIA "democrats" and everyone will become communist eventually.
>>2661185yanqui chimp needs to take stop being chimp medication NOW
>>2661188I would say that it contain the Chinese SOI.
>It's wrong if 'Murica loan shark but it's okay if a country with a red flag do it. >>2661201Thank god I remembered my dab kit
>>2661193>"Total Burger Death! Die for your Sins" is just christian spookery taken to it's extreme. only the "die for your sins" part
>>2661203you are on weed, alcohol, ecstasy, pornography, burgers, and fries, and countless other drugs which cloud your yanqui chimp mind and prevent you from seeing that you are a parasite, a willing and gleeful collaborator, and the source of the world's problems.
>>2661208i don't want total yanqui chimp death. i want yanqui chimp to stop doing crimes. i want yanqui chimp empire to collapse. I want yanqui chimp to live and suffer and pay reparations and pay debts and make amends and do apology tour. no proletarian revolution for yanqui chimp until he lives, suffers, pays for history.
>>2661209The drugs will give me a premature death and thus prevent more exploitation
>>2661211It didn’t happen for Britain or France when they lost their empires, it won’t happen to Americans. China will occupy all our overseas bases, drink moutai and run over children, and everything will be mostly the same
>>2661211>no proletarian revolution until he suffers.What are you gonna do? Say "nuh uh not real" if (big if) the US is taken over by a revolutionary party?
>>2661212> premature death and thus prevent more exploitationi don't want you to die, yanqui chimp. i want you live and pay your debt to the people you exploit
>Unique IPs: 49 >>2661214i will point out it is reactionary and fake revolution if it is not built on a foundation of reparations and debt payment to the people the US has destroyed
>>2661217Sure I agree entirely but he's going all in on some fire and brimstone shit
>>2661215You won’t apologize for comfort women or unit 731, we are equals, you are fighting your mirror
>>2661211i want yanqui chimp to either overthrow their rulling class and establish socialism or total burger death, everything in between is liberal cancer
>I want yanqui chimp to live and suffer and pay reparations and pay debts and make amends and do apology tour.their suffering and symbolic reparations arent important
thats all christian crap
>>2661211>I want yanqui empire to collapseSame here

Americans deserve to be mildly disturbed by the fascist machinery that they were complicit in building.
on today's episode of /pol/ but "lefty," in a contrarian effort to not appear "soy" and "reddit", the mass tor baiter makes easily debunked claims
All the undigested dregs of society are vomited up in these marches, as the protestors rally behind nothing but the general motion of their own ignorance.
Hence you see Ukranian and Palestinian flags side by side with an endless sea of placards denouncing ICE, affirming the legality of their victims, and the mindless denounciation of Fascism as a civic ill in opposition to a supposed patriotism.

Every sign of political reaction is present; absolutely nothing unifies these protests but the sclerotic will of that decayed remnant of the bourgeois political organ in the democrat party machine.
These protests stand for nothing, being useful in that sheer capacity for the communists to draw from their numbers members into their own ranks.
>>2661347Only retards think in white, black, hispanics etc.

>>2661377Not it fucking isn't, it is credulous that you think it is. Every level of the state of the political backwardness of the American worker is on display, that is what is being said. There is nothing inherently revolutionary in this situation, moreover, as the protests are caught beneath the organisational whims of the establishment opposition who simply seek to remount civil resistance to their own ends.
There are no socialist demands in between these protestors, merely the blind stupidity of those who are accustomed to the privilege of a standard of living ignorant to the political terror they impose through their benefaction.

Weak, bitch slave cattle cheer on the show of "strength" as if it was their own.
The slave cattle excitedly affirm allegiance to their masters whip, when they see another leader brutalized and humiliated.
No one denied the US military is powerful enough to devastate near defenseless third world countries.
There are only around 3-4 countries (CRINK) on Earth that have the capacity to defy the US regime and defend their sovereignty.
Nothing here has been proven except that the regime has no pretense to moral leadership, only brute force.
Brute force alone cannot keep a nation united and cannot even maintain command over a united armed forces in the long run.
The US military will not be powerful enough to withstand the coming internal conflicts due to domestic political turmoil.
The US regime has no constitutional sanction. Every show of force abroad is a show of force at home.
Venezuela was never going to topple the USA.
The USA itself will destroy the USA.
The weak slave cattle now glazing their master's whip? They will be the first to drop like flies.
Only those who organize authority based on independnet principles - not the slave-like worship of force alone - will survive what is to come.

>>2661397Completely ignores that the in order to do a general strike (or a strike in general!) you need things like strike funds, mutual aid, pantries, resources to help people and this is fundamentally the type of dual power that Lenin spoke about building, it's why there was a Breakfast Program from the Panthers.
But instead of admitting that we have failed to actualize that which is needed to achieve revolution, you (and the majority of the left, if we're being totally real!) has retreated to the easy work of sloganeering nihilism. >Might as well take the grillpill since everyone is a treatler!
All failures fall on the left, the revolutionary, the organic intellectual, not on the masses. We must stop judging the masses for their rational fear. We must start judging ourselves for our lack of organized preparation. For our lack of skin in the game.
>>2661375>Rather the function ofu the vanguard party What vanguard?
>>2661416you rule, houdini
>>2661380>Every level of the state of the political backwardness of the American worker is on display, that is what is being said. So in other words, your position is that because these demonstrations are not class conscious, they are worthless and should be ignored. This is the exact opposite of what Lenin says.
>>2661416>All failures fall on the left, the revolutionary, the organic intellectual, not on the masses.the minute you start criticizing american orgs like CPUSA for their historic failures you start getting bombarded with bad faith arguments about how you're a TWist or whatever lol. meawhile they will absolutely tail shit like #NoKings and do little else, even though their membership is at historical highs

>>2661426ctrl+f "yanqui chimp" in the last 3 threads. Those are the kinds of posts being called TWister, not the obviously correct criticisms of "C"PUSA and other disorganized parties.
>>2661426You understand that Houdini is criticizing treatposters in this post right?
>>2661156>Being American wasn’t a conscious choice, but an accident of birthBeing born a yanqui chimp isn't a choice but you choose to continue to be a yanqui chimp by getting defensive when I call out yanqui chimps. you could leave yanqui chimp land and move anywhere else but you're afraid of living where yanqui chimp bombs drop. you're afraid of making actual fair wages for your work rather than being an overpaid yanqui chimp treatlerite. that is why you are a yanqui chimp. it's not your birth, it's your choice to continue associating with a country that destroys the world daily and dooms us all. i want you stop bombing, sanctioning, raping, and embargoing me stupid yanqui chimp. and I want you to pay your debts, as well as 2 centuries of reparations. if you have "revolution" it will be to treat yourself to a higher standard of living. but you owe the rest of the world a lot of reparations and debt. so don't think you get to just have a proletarian revolution on our dime.

A moving family film of a patriot father saving his children from the corruption spread by the perfidious Jedi and their Lugenpresse mind tricks.
>>2661422It is not because they are no class conscious, it is in response to the slovenly adulation in which posters here believe the bare minimum in civil resistance will escalate organically into their apocalyptic war on the rich.
In actuality the mere act of witnessing these protests should be the cold dousing of water needed for those "communists" among us who believe they are anything but representative of the degraded state of affairs in America.
If anything it is a testament to the sheer tacit manipulation at play, and the vile double standard in American life where political reaction conjures itself only in circumstances where extrajudicial murder occurs in select communities.
The depravity of police repression is both constant and heavier in other parts of the country, yet we are to defend the good will of these workers who find only in that opportunity of confrontation the suitability of their interests as they take form beneath the hand of those members of the petite-bourgeoisie who seek to merely stir the pot for their own advantage.
The duplicity of quoting Lenin in defence of this is astounding.

Value, Price, and Profit >>2661453>posters here believe the bare minimum in civil resistance will escalate organically into their apocalyptic war on the richIt won't happen organically, that's my entire point. You're sitting here complaining about the backwardness of the demonstrations while simultaneously demanding that we should under no circumstances do anything to try and fix that problem. Every criticism you list from the lack of organization, their capture by the liberal establishment, their lack of class consciousness, etc. are all problems which vanguardism is specifically designed to address, and they do it by joining with workers to achieve immediate gains, while also organizing and educating them.
>The duplicity of quoting Lenin in defence of this is astounding.I'm invoking Lenin because he wrote and entire book on this topic and the solution to it, a solution which you seem hell bent on ignoring.
It's actually happening
>>2661471There specifically is no vanguard, that is what is being pointed out. Those collective forces for social justice which brand themselves out of the opportunism of being simply in opposition to the status quo, to whatever degree, are now summoned for the explicit purpose of lending political strength to the fashioning a new support base for the democrats. That is the basis for both these marches and the strikes; you may quote Lenin as much as you like in the denial of this reality for the mere recognition it awards you to state that any criticism from the communist position is invalid because it is not constitutive in the least in lending these protests "our" strength.
Sooner or later you must reconcile with the fact that the motivating demands of these workers are reflective of that level of consciousness by which the communists must take stock of the situation, namely that it is that acceptable spasm in the general body of society which is permitted in the acceptance that the current system must continue.
Again, stop deluding yourself. There is no vanguard; social media is festooned with the vile opportunism of clowns masquerading in what is essentially a soirée for the politically illiterate, hence the idiots borrowing the deceased garb of the black panthers in order to attract yet more racialist sentiment by which they hope to pad their own fortunes.
>>2661434you can agree with what houdini said and what that anon says too tho
>>2661482>>2661471>Black panthersThat some posters here salivate at the resurgance of their pseudo-militancy is utterly pathetic, as it is nothing but morons donning costumes and assault rifles with no intent of defending against their would-be opponent.
>>2661471These shitlibs have no material incentive to advance communism and would literally murder you in cold blood if they thought their treat supply might be endangered. The entire reason for the anti orange man chimpouts is just wealthy suburban liberals coping and seething that their exotic groceries are more expensive than before. Trying to "educate" these goons would be as productive as trying to educate NSDAP members
>There is no vanguard to lead the masses, so lets just sit around and argue about how the masses have no vanguard
<t. lenin
>>2661488>the massesVague liberal nonsense. Communism isn't about "the masses", whatever that even is
>>2661488I don't know what's more revolutionary, the idiots with Ukranian flags marching in the protests or you quoting Lenin
>>2661483How? Bitching about how Americans are all hopelessly reactionary treatlers is the very kind of sloganeering nihilism he's criticizing.
>>2661482That's a lot of words to just keep repeating the same argument over and over again which I've already addressed. Every criticism you offer is a problem that only a vanguard party can solve through agitation, education, and organization. If there is no vanguard then it's up to us to form one. The one thing we must not do is sit on the sidelines and allow these problems to fester, we can only solve them by going into these struggles and getting people to understand why these problems are happening, what the solutions are, and why the existing parties and institutions are incapable of addressing them. We can't do that without earning people's support by participating in their struggles and helping them achieve their short term gains.
>inb4 you make another long winded post that boils down to "the workers are not already communist so let's just stay home" hot take but the actual proletariat vanguard is too "problematic" for leftypol's liking. class solidarity has been replaced by unflinching intersectional positivity in the "online left" so i cant even make fun of our class enemies on the lefty site and have to go to 4chan to organize people without fear of retaliation by jannies
>>2661496The revolution is when no homo no black people awesome man I love living in 2018
>>2661493>Bitching about how Americans are all hopelessly reactionary treatlersdoes that
>>2661426 post in specific say that?
>>2661493You haven't addressed anything, you're just reading into your own position and doubling down out of the belief that if you defend the principle on which these protests are organised you will have struck gold.
Hence your incessant repetition of the necessity for a vanguard when it is clear to everyone in this thread that not only does one not exist, but these protests and the strike itself are being orchestrated for the personal ends of that party base which seeks in a renewed fashion to suck like a leech upon the collective political will in order to advance their own cause - namely, the democrats.
There is no real civil opposition as even if the protests mutate to other parts of the country, they will simply confer to that same system of rule their strength.
If you choose to delude yourself into that infantile belief that these protests are worthwhile in and of themselves because "the proles are waking up", then so be it. Just do not expect the rest of the thread to go along with your fantasy.
>>2661493The point which YOU purposefully seem to be ignoring is that these are all wealthy liberals, the overwhelming majority of the American "working" population, who have every material reason to violently oppose communism. Trying to make them communist would be about as productive as showing up at any other neo-nazi demonstration
Facing U.S. Pressure, Venezuela Agrees to Take More Deportees
Venezuela’s interim government, in another sign of its willingness to placate the Trump administration, is receiving more deportation flights. Three flights arrived this week.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/world/americas/venezuela-trump-ice-deportation-flights.htmlSLB (SLB) CEO Olivier Le Peuch said Friday the company is well-positioned to quickly expand its business in Venezuela, given its role as the only international oilfield services provider that has maintained an active operating presence in the country, delivering services for Chevron under the oil producer's license
https://seekingalpha.com/news/4542199-slb-ready-to-quickly-ramp-up-venezuela-activity-ceo-says>>2661482If everything can be recuperated, then we can detourn the recuperation against itself. It's like building a Möbius strip. On one side, there's the brand: culture, gaming, art, the lived everyday life. On the other: theory, praxis, risk, revolution. But there is only one side, because all of this is connected. How else could you combat capitalist realism?
I am pretty sure that community-based Pokémon tournaments, wherein everything happens for the love of playing the game with other people and not for profit, has more in common with the future we need to build and envision than memes about historical events from 150 years ago do—even if those memes signal that you're in "the in-group of the left."
If someone and six others decide to form a "vanguard party," believing they are going to move the tides of history through militant action and realpolitik, they might just end up being a Food Not Bombs chapter. That "vanguard" might just be an affinity group. In a way, based on the material conditions we exist in today, there's very little reason for these label debates. We will all find ourselves in front of the firing squad if we fail to win.
The question becomes: How do these functional nodes (whether called vanguards or affinity groups) network, share resources, defend each other, and grow into a force capable of actually surviving and displacing the power that would execute them? The goal of the revolutionary is to answer these questions dialectically based on their local material conditions and then begin the work to actualize the networks needed to make change.
taken from this post I wrote earlier today:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/148968942 >>2661497unironically tho, it's a big problem to organizing efforts that a lot of our class allies….dont agree with stuff like homosexuality or abortion or other liberal tentpoles. a lot of people in the "working class" aren't as woke as online leftists would like, and in fact do enjoy things like religion and traditional family roles. like, we're standing up for the somali population in minnesota but ask a somali how they feel about homosexuality or drag queens. leftypol doesn't let you discuss this kinda thing so i have a much easier time spreading messaging elsewhere. real people aren't "woke" or "anti-woke" but a spectrum of conflicting beliefs.
Pokémon tournaments: the communist hypothesis
Jan 23 (Reuters) - Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez said on Friday that 626 people have been released from prison to date as part of an ongoing release process, yet she did not specify the timeline of the reported releases.
Venezuelan human rights group Foro Penal has confirmed the release of just 154 political prisoners in Venezuela since January 8.
Rodriguez said that she is due to have a call on Monday with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, to ask the U.N. to verify the lists of those released so far in the Andean nation.

>Exclusive-Mexico Weighs Stopping Oil Shipments to Cuba Amid Concerns of Trump Retaliation, Sources SayMEXICO CITY, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The Mexican government is reviewing whether to keep sending oil to Cuba amid growing fears within President Claudia Sheinbaum's administration that Mexico could face reprisals from the United States over the policy, which is a vital lifeline for the Communist-run Caribbean island, according to three sources familiar with the discussions.
A U.S. blockade of oil tankers in Venezuela in December and the dramatic capture of President Nicolas Maduro this month have halted Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba, leaving Mexico as the single-largest supplier to the island that suffers from energy shortages and mass blackouts.
Mexico's pivotal role in sending oil to Cuba has also put the U.S.' southern neighbor in Washington's crosshairs. President Donald Trump has stressed Cuba is "ready to fall" and said in a January 11 Truth Social post: "THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO!"
Publicly, Sheinbaum has said Mexico will continue oil shipments to Cuba, saying they are based on longterm contracts and considered international aid. But the senior Mexican government sources said the policy is under internal review as anxiety grows within Sheinbaum's cabinet that the shipments could antagonize Trump
Mexico is trying to negotiate a review of the USMCA North American trade pact, while also persuading Washington it is doing enough to combat drug cartels and that U.S. military action against the groups on Mexican territory is neither welcome nor needed.
The government review of Cuban oil shipments has not been previously reported, and the sources requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter. It remains unclear what ultimate decision the Mexican government might take, with sources saying a complete halt, a reduction, and a continuation in full are all still on the table
The Mexican presidency told Reuters the country "has always been in solidarity with the people of Cuba" and added that shipping oil to Cuba and a separate agreement to pay for the services of Cuban doctors "are sovereign decisions." The Cuban government did not respond to a request for comment.
A White House official said: “As the President stated, Cuba is now failing on its own volition … there will be no more oil or money going to Cuba from Venezuela, and he strongly suggests Cuba makes a deal before it is too late.”
LAND ATTACKS ON CARTELS
In recent weeks, Trump has ratcheted up pressure on Mexico, saying the country is run by the cartels and that ground attacks against them could be imminent. Sheinbaum has repeatedly stressed that any unilateral U.S. military action in Mexican territory would be a grave breach of the country's sovereignty.
"There is a growing fear that the United States could take unilateral action on our territory," one of the sources added.
During a phone call last week, Trump questioned Sheinbaum about crude and fuel shipments to Cuba and the presence of thousands of Cuban doctors in Mexico, two of the sources said. Sheinbaum responded that the shipments are "humanitarian aid" and that the doctors deal "is in full compliance" with Mexican law, the sources familiar with the call said. They added Trump did not directly urge Mexico to halt the oil deliveries.
The three sources said officials in Sheinbaum's government are also increasingly concerned about a growing presence of U.S. Navy drones over the Gulf of Mexico since December. Local media have reported, using flight-tracking data, that at least three U.S. Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton drones have conducted a dozen flights over the Bay of Campeche, roughly following the route taken by tankers carrying Mexican fuel to Cuba.
These same reconnaissance aircraft were spotted off the Venezuelan coast in December, days before the U.S. attack on the South American country.
Sheinbaum has spearheaded an offensive against the notorious Sinaloa Cartel and approved three unprecedented mass transfers of nearly 100 drug kingpins to the United States.
These measures have been praised by high-ranking U.S. officials, but Sheinbaum has repeatedly stated that unilateral U.S. action on Mexican soil represents a red line.
"Very little of the crude oil produced in Mexico is sent to Cuba, but it is a form of solidarity in a situation of hardship and difficulty," Sheinbaum said on Wednesday. "That doesn't have to disappear," she added.
CUBA'S MEXICAN OIL LIFELINE
Trump's pressure campaign against Cuba dates back to his first term when he reversed much of the historic rapprochement orchestrated by former Democratic President Barack Obama, and has only increased since the Republican returned to office a year ago.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a Cuban American, has been a driving force behind Trump's Venezuela policy, which he and other U.S. officials also see as potentially weakening Maduro's Cuban allies. But the constraints on Trump's approach to Cuba are more daunting, given Havana's regional and international support, the entrenched nature of Cuba's leadership and security forces, and the ability the country has shown to withstand decades under a tough U.S. economic embargo.
The largest island in the Caribbean relies heavily on fuel imports of refined products to meet its demand for electricity generation, gasoline, and aviation fuel. U.S. sanctions and a deep economic crisis have prevented the Communist government from purchasing enough fuel for years, forcing it to depend on a small group of allies.
Within Sheinbaum's government, the three sources said, there is a belief that Washington's strategy of cutting off Cuba's oil could push the country into an unprecedented humanitarian disaster, triggering mass migration to Mexico. For this reason, they added, some in the government are pushing to maintain some fuel supplies to the island.
With Venezuelan supplies to Cuba stopped, it appears unlikely that other oil producers would step in to make up the shortfall, given the U.S. focus and heavy military presence in the region. The U.S. has seized tankers that had been involved in the Venezuelan oil trade, vessels in the shadow fleet that supply crude from countries under U.S. sanctions, including Iran and Russia.
Between January and September last year, Mexico shipped 17,200 barrels per day of crude oil and 2,000 bpd of refined petroleum products to Cuba worth approximately $400 million, according to information reported by Mexican state oil company Pemex to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Venezuela Welcomes First Naphtha Cargo Amid U.S. Oil Deal
Venezuela's oil industry sees a crucial development as the first naphtha cargo arrives as part of a new oil deal with the U.S., marking a significant step in the ongoing $2 billion bilateral agreement. This shipment is essential for diluting Venezuela's extra-heavy crude oil
Venezuela has received its first cargo of naphtha, an integral part of an oil agreement struck with the United States this month, according to ship tracking data. The tanker, chartered by trading giant Vitol, reached Venezuelan waters on Friday.
The deal, orchestrated after the U.S. detained Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, includes a $2 billion framework to distribute 50 million barrels of stored Venezuelan oil. Additionally, it gives firms like Vitol and Trafigura preliminary access to Venezuela's oil for resell globally while facilitating the supply of heavy naphtha to manage the country's dense oil output.
The United Kingdom-flagged Hellespont Protector tanker, loaded with approximately 460,000 barrels of heavy naphtha from the U.S., was nearing Venezuela's Jose port for a scheduled discharge. Due to U.S. sanctions that have impeded other suppliers, Venezuela's oil industry had been facing significant challenges due to shortages in essential blending chemicals.

Shouldn't we be seeking out dissatisfaction with the Democratic party leadership (and there is plenty of this) and agitating around those grievances? Offering alternative views which expose the shortcomings of the Democratic party and liberal politics in general? Offering alternative explanations and solutions, then organizing around these? Lenin tells us that in situations such as this, we must go among the workers to participate in their struggles, become their most steadfast and resolute allies and defenders, and thereby expose the fact that any liberal attempts to direct or use these demonstrations to their advantage will ultimately work against the people who compose them. If that's not the solution to the problems you're describing then what is?

>>2661515No source on the nazi shit you're talking about, nice try though.
As for listing anarchist works with communist works, or Lenin with Insurrection theory, or books about Gramsci with works about doing blockades. Well, you need to be able to analyze theory as tactical information to be applied dialectically to your material conditions. It's not about memorizing what communist said what, and when (though this is how American schools teach history as a whole, so I can understand to a degree why we struggle with this), it's about looking at everything in your toolbox and looking at the situations you are dealing with, and applying the right tools to the right situation. You have to think like a tactician! It's not about picking the label "Juche" in your favorite youtuber's discord server, and then debating why Juche is the correct path going forward, it's about reading Juche (or any other theory) and applying that knowledge to your material conditions, in synthesis with the other knowledge in your toolbox, and your material conditions.
>You can, however, arm the people who need to be doing those things with the knowledge and theory they need to synthesize strategy for their own local material conditions. I can't tell you to engage in a blockade, but I can share information on how to organize one.
>That's one reason why the "Weeks as Decades" Reading List has such a variety of ideological sources, everything from Marxist-Leninist to insurrectionist anarchism to power-building tactics from the capitalists themselves. If you are engaging with that material seriously, you'll know that it's on the individual (or small group) to make their own tactical decisions based on their local material conditions.

JD Vance called Laura loomer "disgraceful" today. I'm fucking dead lmao
She's rage tweeting seething over this
https://xcancel.com/LauraLoomer>>2661570the so-called "left" in the United States is fumbling the bag extremely hard on the best opportunity we've had in like 80 fucking years to organize the masses because there isn't anyone with any actual advanced consciousness. it makes sense why this is the case, because the left in the US has not only been systemically suppressed for the past 80 years from being an organized and relevant political force, but because of this lack of any action beyond various irrelevant (in the grand scheme of things) localized anarchist actions like black blocs and the ALF/ELF in the 90s, there has also been a lack of any theory that is adapted to the conditions of the US today.
it makes sense in this context that everyone who seems like they should have advanced consciousness and be the vanguard is not only just as backwards as the masses but is in fact arguably
more backwards in 2026 as the center becomes increasingly irrelevant and former lib centrists get pushed further to the left in a disorganized and mostly vibes-based way. there's no Party doctrine of any kind or even an ideological stance to hold that isn't a hauntological artifact of 20th and 19th century socialist movements that have little to do with the conditions today in the US, and so it's easy for people to superficially posture on the internet as communists while being worse than useless to the real movement.
and the irony of this is that it's going to soon be today's so-called leftists who get left behind as the lack of any controlled opposition status quo liberalism combined with an increasingly openly fascistic regime pushes everyone who isn't a self-mutilating delusional Qanon psychopath further to the left through the sheer immediate existential threat of masked thugs showing up in their communities and randomly abducting people.

I cannot be bothered to maintain this line; events are they are occuring do not happen in a vacuum. If you are blindly gluing together the historical precedent of civic activism with your own incoherent understanding of present circumstances you will end up supporting intolerale positions whereby you, like this clown

Again, if you wish to delude yourself with the fantasy that these protests are in some fashion part of some mass-action by which to gauge present circumstances with optimism, go right ahead. It is this same naivety by which Sanders enfranchised the hopes of a socialist cause under the banner of social democracy, only to be betrayed in his own ambition by the very party he still to this day supports.
>>2661599jd vance is the actual concubine telling the blowjob machine to know her place
>>2661583Don't rally around me, I have essentially no material resources to weather a storm or build anything beyond what I already have and continue to try to. I work at McDonalds and live in a trapped out motel big dog. We failed to move a second trans woman (from Kentucky to Seattle) because, despite having the network, the connections, and a room available, this HOUDINI shit does not have the war chest to make something like that happen.
When SNAP shutdown, I worked with a local cafe to get a community pantry going. I didn't even buy the shelving, someone else did, but I pushed hard for it and kept up with the maintenance and promoted it, asked people what they needed, if they are using it, etc. Multiple people spoke to me in private about how it was impacting them. 1 or 2 meals a week without buying groceries can make a huge difference, and when SNAP wasn't available? That's how kids were fed.
The anti-life regime we face, they shutdown SNAP in Minnesota, and it's still shutdown. As the class war continues to develop, this will spread to other states. Anyone can get a small pantry going, and anyone can ask people the questions to make it more useful, assuming you have the connections to the location.
It's not hard to see how something small like this could, if multiplied, be incredibly valuable if we are actually going to sustain a front against the regime. You'll find that there's other people who are comrades around you, especially once you start doing things like this. Next thing you know, you're having the types of discussions I don't talk about online with people who believe the same vision of victory. Oh, it turns out one of the EMTs that uses the cafe is a comrade, and he wants to teach some community first aid classes, same guy might just be your riot medic when shit pops off. Now you've got more of a network, more things to actualize with.

"Stoop Talk"
So I moved to Florida essentially with nothing to my name and a small amount of money each month made off a socialist magazine. 'Anarcho-communist magazine' Counterculture magazine, whatever you want to call it. Why Florida, especially when there's a strong current in places like the PNW? Especially when I already know people in the Seattle area? Maybe I'm an insane person but it seemed to me that there's a need for people like me in these spaces, and Florida is incredibly bleak. I'm talking poverty like I haven't seen since I was growing up in South Louisiana. There's essentially nothing here, what is here is run through the churches.
I live in a motel, the cheapest motel in this town. I pay by the week. I basically have no material possessions, sold them all — lost them all in the move. The single homeless shelter in this city is run via the churches, and it's always over capacity. Living in a motel means I'm on the stoop, and that's where people who are turned away from the shelter go. They post up on the motel stoop, unable to afford a room, needing somewhere safe to smoke a joe and avoid the police.
The other night, there was a woman, she was clearly fiending for a bag of that britney, her name could have been Britney. I'm chilling on the stoop, smoking the tiniest, littlest, the skimpiest little slut of a blunt, the weed? came from that same stoop — roaches gathered and repackaged. Stoop weed from those trapping out the motel. I'm reading Gramsci, skimming the prison notebooks. She asks me for a hit of the blunt, I let her smoke, least I can do. We get to chatting a bit, small talk. I notice she's gotta be at least 4, maybe 5 months pregnant. Still fiending for the dog food. She's talking about how she ain't ate that whole day. I believe it. I've got half a pizza, the pizza? someone in my collective bought it for me. I gave her the pizza, only had a slice of it myself but I knew she needed it more. Again, back to the Gramsci, she leaves with the pizza, and there's just a little weed left. I look down at the parking lot, it's caked in filth, black and mild tips, 305 menthol packs, all types of plastic debris and let's keep it a buck, used needles and other shit. Kids live in this motel, got a single mom with 2 kids having to leave them in this motel so she can hit her shifts. Can you imagine trying to explain to that woman that she actually benefits from imperialism? That she's not working class because the job is at a Circle K and not in a factory? The things I've been told and read online are simply not the lived reality of the masses.
So I'm smoking this pathetic little stoop weed blunt trying to read Gramsci, trying to get a bigger picture in my head of how to make actual change happen, to be the revolutionary I set out to be. But Britney shattered something in me that night. What good is theory to a crack baby? What good is me reading theory when the poverty that surrounds me, the poverty I live in and was born in and am so familiar with seems to be an immovable object. The best I could offer her was just that little bit of mutual aid, that pizza, that hit of the blunt. I told her about my magazine, the website, I knew she wouldn't look it up. She's a base head, she's got other priorities. But even if she did, is there anything that I've ever said that could impact her? That could make a difference? I sat with that for a while before coming to the realization that no, nothing I've done, said, no internet clout is going to change her conditions.
One small collective and one single revolutionary showing up in the pits of Florida, a deep red part of Florida, with limited resources and nothing but a will? Feels like pissing in the wind. Feels like an intellectualization of my inability to actualize legitimate change. All the while, I'm living in the same poverty, the same motel, the same pit.
The next day, I spoke to another person who lives at the motel, came to find out Britney is a regular, she's been tricking at that motel for a while now. This is why I move the way I do, it's not an intellectual exercise, nor is it something to wait for. Every day without a revolution is another day of suffering for people like Britney. The majority of "the left", at least those I've interacted with online and offline, are highly disconnected from this poverty, these material conditions. I can't stand listening to talks about how there's either no working class in the USA at all, or how everyone here is a labor aristocrat, or how there's no revolutionary potential here, there's nothing to be done. These are all things that are said from a position of comfort. Did you know they've cut food stamps? I have a friend who makes 22k a year as a special needs teacher, 2 kids, she relies on food stamps, and those are gone now. Did you know they cut medicaid? Yeah her kids aren't going to have healthcare either. She's only 1 to 2 degrees removed from Britney.
Do you think this disconnect is caused by the wealth of those who act as spokespeople for a socialist program? Can someone who makes 70k a month relate to someone like Britney? Is your success as a revolutionary measured by your ability to make money on Patreon? Have we lost the plot entirely? Irregardless, there is work to be done, and it is so much work that I simply cannot give mental energy to those who have lost the optimism of their will. Those who have embraced a comfortable nihilism cannot be the face of revolution. The failures of the left to actualize change are to be placed on the left, on our people, it is our burden to bear, the attempts to shift the blame to those victimized by hyper capitalism, these attempts are falling on deaf ears.
"This pessimism is closely linked to the current situation in which our country finds itself; the situation explains it to a certain extent, but, of course, does not justify it. What difference would there be between us and the Socialist Party, between our will and the party’s tradition, if we also knew how to work and were only actively optimistic in periods when the cows were plump, when the situation was favorable? What difference would there be between us if we were only actively optimistic when the working masses advanced of their own accord, because of an impulse they could not fight, and the proletarian parties could take up a prime position and grab hold of the reins of their own accord?"
—Antonio Gramsci, Against Pessimism
>>2661631it's kind of infuriating how obvious it is that none of you read anything and are just playing a game of telephone throwing around buzzwords to sound like you fit in and know what you're talking about.
"muh material conditions" is not a drop-in for "muh objective scientific facts" or "muh Biblical truth" or whatever the fuck you think it means. a materialist analysis of the political-economic conditions orients ourselves within the development of capital (and on a bigger scale, the dialectical progression of history as a whole), but talking about things in terms of "consciousness" is one of the most basic concepts that communists make use of in determining
what is to be done within the landscape of the material conditions that are available to us to work with. the vanguard is supposed to be the intellectuals who have "advanced consciousness" in the sense of not only recognizing that it's in their class interests to overthrow the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie (the standard for describing "class consciousness) but also understanding the Marxist analysis of the material conditions at this point in history and in their country. "idealism" is an entirely separate thing.
dialectics is not fatalism. to paraphrase one of the most basic bitch famous Marx quotes that all of you should be familiar with: the point isn't to merely interpret the material conditions but
to change them>>2661632confirmed for not having read Marx or understanding dialectical materialism on the most basic possible level. Marx literally predicted that a communist revolution would happen in the most advanced capitalist countries (e.g. Germany and Britain in his time), and he was only wrong about this in the sense that we have not yet seen a successful communist revolution happen yet that didn't involve a colonized third world country being forced to take its history into its own hands.
China is an example of a successful communist revolution because Mao understood that we must not be dogmatic and adapt Marxist theory to the conditions of the country we organize in, and Deng understood that it was consistent with dialectical materialism for China to pass through a capitalist stage of development but that it needed to be kept in check by a centralized state. but in the United States, capital has already exhausted all its historically progressive potential; there is no possible way for the United States, and imperial core as a whole, to move forwards on the scale of world history without becoming socialist.
Marx proved this deductively and it is empirically true today with how US capitalism has reached a progressively more abstracted form of capital ("all that is solid melts into air") in the form of finance capital, and quite literally does not produce anything anymore. this is because capital has gone as far as it can go. there's nowhere left for the US to go unless it experiences a massive historical regression (which is currently what's happening and what fascism in general represents) and destroys itself on purpose to prevent the productive forces from overcoming the capitalist mode of production.

>Trump administration weighs naval blockade to halt Cuban oil imports“Energy is the chokehold to kill” the Cuban regime, said a person familiar with the discussions.
The Trump administration is weighing new tactics to drive regime change in Cuba, including imposing a total blockade on oil imports to the Caribbean country, three people familiar with the plan said Thursday.
That escalation has been sought by some critics of the Cuban government in the administration and backed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to two of the three people, who were granted anonymity to discuss the sensitive discussions. No decision has been made on whether to approve that move, but it could be among the suite of possible actions presented to President Donald Trump to force the end of Cuba’s communist government, these people added.
Preventing shipments of crude oil to the island would be a step-up from Trump’s statement last week that the U.S. would halt Cuba’s imports of oil from Venezuela, which had been its main crude supplier.
But there are ongoing debates within the administration about whether it is even necessary to go that far, according to all three people. The loss of Venezuelan oil shipments — and the resale of some of those cargoes that Havana used to obtain foreign currency — has already throttled Cuba’s laggard economy. A total blockade of oil imports into Cuba could then spark a humanitarian crisis, a possibility that has led some in the administration to push back against it.
The discussions, however, show the extent to which people inside the Trump administration are considering deposing leaders in Latin America they view as adversaries.
“Energy is the chokehold to kill the regime,” said one person familiar with the plan who was granted anonymity to describe the private discussions. Deposing the country’s communist government – in power since the Cuban revolution in 1959 – is “100 percent a 2026 event” in the administration’s eyes, this person added.
The effort would be justified under the 1994 LIBERTAD Act, better known as the Helms-Burton Act, this person added. That law codifies the U.S. embargo on Cuban trade and financial transactions.
Cuba’s embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.
A White House spokesperson did not address a question on whether the administration was considering blocking all oil imports into Cuba.
Cuba imports about 60 percent of its oil supply, according to the International Energy Agency. It was heavily dependent on Venezuela for those imports until the Trump administration started seizing sanctioned shipments from that country. Mexico has more recently become the main supplier as Venezuelan crude shipments have dried up.
Mexico, however, charges Cuba for imported oil and its shipments are not expected to fully ameliorate Cuba’s worsening energy shortage.
Since the U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, the administration has turned its attention on Cuba, arguing that the island’s economy is at its weakest point, making it ripe for regime change soon. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, have each voiced their optimism that the island’s communist government will fall in short time given the loss of Venezuela’s economic support.
Toppling the communist regime in Cuba would fulfill a nearly seven-decade political project for Cuban exiles in Miami, who have pushed for democracy on the island since Fidel Castro took power after ousting the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959. Rubio has long been an advocate for tough measures against Havana in the hopes of securing the fall of the regime.
Conditions on the island have indeed worsened, triggering blackouts and shortages of basic goods and food products. But the regime has weathered harsh U.S. sanctions — and the sweeping trade embargo — for decades and survived the fall of the Soviet Union after the Cold War. Meanwhile, concerns remain that the sudden collapse of the Cuban government would trigger a regional migration crisis and destabilize the Caribbean.
Critics of the Cuban government will likely celebrate the proposal if implemented by the White House. Hawkish Republicans had already embraced the idea of completely blocking Cuba’s access to oil.
“There should be not a dime, no petroleum. Nothing should ever get to Cuba,” said Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) in a brief interview last week.

>>2661678That's one of vivek chibber's lines that he uses sparingly, often to support his other point that "we are all social democrats in the short term". He also makes sure to clarify a caveat to this, that IF there were a revolutionary break in the USA like USSR or China had, that we should absolutely take advantage of that.
>>2661670I understand the need for these kind of arguments for liberals that care about rule of law, but I don't really care what the heckin constitution says so I have a hard time accepting the legal argument against ICE.
the interesting or I guess pathetic thing about lawyers like legal eagle and this guy arguing about how Trump is breaking the law is that…he is the law and can just wave a magic wand to make his decrees legal and all their hours of argument become irrelevant.
Unless you're able to fundamentally reject the authority of US legalism and start from a position of "I don't give a fuck what the constitution says" your arguments are just a lot of hot gas, appeals to authority/tradition, and liberal stupidity that conservatives will promptly ignore and send you to the camps anyway lol.
>>2661690i cant understand a word that guy is saying so you'll have to tell me
Reminder drunk driving is literally a worse crime than illegal immigration, which is just overstaying a legitimate visa 95% of the time
>>2661649>and he was only wrong about this in the sense that we have not yet seen a successful communist revolution happen yet in the imperial core yes that is what that other anon is saying
marx didnt get to see late-stage capitalism, anyone who denies late-stage capitalism is less "historically progressive" than it's earlier stages is turbo-coping
>>2661695and drunk driving is a skill anyways, something you can hone, like the blade of a warriors katana
>>2661695illegal immigration is not a crime at all. you cant be sentenced to prison, the only "punishment" is deportation, that's it.
ICE is just Trump's SS, so arguing about the criminality of illegal immigration is kind of irrelevant since the law doesn't matter.
>>2661659exactly. that's the capitalism system at work. optimizing not for the sake of liberation, but for the sake of capital accumulation. then those who graduate perpetuate the system by 100% conscious decisions.
>>2661690go yt boi go
actually hereby honorary non-yt actually
>>2661716meanwhile the media completely ignoring this
the left needs our own large scale media orgs
>>2661716very civilized and ignorable
>>2661719the only difference between a civilized protest and an uncivilized revolution is a spark
p4obably old news by now but anyway, the people handling trump's media is using shitty AI to denigrate undesirables
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/22/white-house-ice-protest-arrest-altered-imagealso fuck the grauniad for using fucking AVIF image files
How was Lenin so high performance?
>>2661719Yes comrade! This peaceful protest shit is for pussies. We should be smashing property and destroying the means of production!
>>2661686inb4 we have to explain gramsci again because I mention that the erosion of things like "due process" or "the bill of rights" is part of the social contract that needs to be propagandized against, as your average prole in this country legitimately believes in such things as part of the hegemonic common sense that the regime distills in order to maintain its power.
You might not give a fuck what the constitution says, but the average person has a vague idea of the values it's been propagandized to represent within the class society, and this means, that as the ruling regime contradicts it in order to maintain power, these contradictions then fuel the destruction of the hegemony that maintained its original power.
Legal Eagle says "they can't do this, it's against the fourth amendment, it's illegal, it's unconstitutional", you bring up that the contract was always written in blood, maybe using historical examples (ie drawing comparisons with the forced sterilization at the border and what was done to Puerto Rican women), while propositioning our own vision in juxtaposition with the contradiction. Lenin said that freedom of speech under capitalism is only for the owner class, you know that the average prole in this country sees freedom of speech as a fundamental aspect of "the social contract", and thus, you can propagandize with the angle "true freedom of speech, as you value it, cannot exist under capitalism, but it can exist under our vision of the future"
>>2661727i think that's a bit much
>>2661719flooding the roads outside of downtown minneapolis is hard to ignore
There was also some people blocking the roads to the airport trying to stop ice from loading people onto conair
>>2661734>outside inside
this was outside city hall and the courthouse
>>2661716Writing something now. You can always submit things to our magazine, we publish most things. So if you think the left needs more media, you've got a lane right now you can use.
Has to hit these points:
>prime the audience to be motivated by the actions and mass of people, showing them we are not outnumbered and things are bound to change>remind the audience what a strike means, withholding your labor, use this to remind the audience that labor has the power, not the capitalist, and everything the capitalist does is about convincing you otherwise in one form or another>remind people that strikes cannot be sustained unless we build our networks and create resilient communities>name and shame the regime ie "ICE soldiers are pedophile warriors for the Epstein regime, kidnapping children and terrorizing everyday people for standing against concentration camps" maybe the ice storm in america was the working class struggle we made along the way #bars
>>2661579https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTU_hJoByAThis clip's been viral recently, with ppl post-ironically calling the penguin a based sigma male
>>2661718there's almost no coverage video on the media showing the size of the protest. they hate the average American, it's amazing.
>>2661729Correct. I don't waste an opportunity to educate someone and bring them over if I think there's a chance. If someone says "Trump is bad because le heckin constitution" I will go out of my way to explain how the constitution was written in a specific way to protect slaveowners and the bourgeois and limit the rights of the working class laborers that built this country, and that we should not settle for "protecting" the constitution but in fact evolving our nation.
Republicans(and Democrats) have already gone out of their way to destroy the nation's links to the past, eliminating due process, rule of law, precedent, etc, and we should embrace that as a political advantage and not be shackled to it. If MAGA think the constitution no longer matters, then we should operate as if that is the case. If rule of law no longer matters, then we should operate as such. There is no "winning" strategy in only our side adhering to the law while the enemy is playing to tear down the present state of things. We should also aim to tear down the present state of things, but rebuild it to our liking instead.
It's actually a pretty easy sell to liberals because they're sick and tired of their politicians doing nothing to stop Trump and the government constantly backsliding towards the Right. Many of them are ready to scrap the established order in their hearts. It's just their material commitments preventing them from going all out.
>>2661635>make things betterI think his is what matters most. I can only work on myself and offer to help if asked. But most people are so distracted, society so atomized, not because of 'rugged individualism' but because they 'belong' to ideological agendas designed to keep the hoi polloi divided. The 'haves' then profit off of the disharmony among the 'have nots' and they 'work' the discontent in their favor. Educating under such circumstances then becomes the most difficult task of all, especially where agency and creativity are no longer welcome. So I don't think I can make anything better for anyone except in person.
>>2661741Is there anything we could be doing to change this? I feel like today has been pretty slow for leftypol despite a significant event happening. This place is doomed.
>>2661743Also, there's no reinventing the wheel but the vehicle can always be upgraded. Absent a vehicle, ipsa scientia potestas est.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lnTvwdoQFw >>2661743leftism has, for so long, been mired with capitalist realism, it has been the negation of something, and not the creation of something. "anti-imperialism" but no vision of how "de-imperializing" would work. "anti-capitalism" but no meaningful discourse on a realistic system to replace it, based on the material conditions within this country. Of course you can believe that the entire concept of the state should be abolished, but we are working with human timescales, and that's not materially possible in one lifetime (IMO). Even then, a lot of the discussion is about the destruction of the state, and not the "autonomous society of communes" (or whatever you want to call this shit) will look like. People seem to forget that whatever we build will be on the back of a dead Goliath, the bones of which will fundamentally shape the terrain for decades to come.
It's our job to create that vision, to inspire others in its possibility, and work to make it a reality. Okay, the capitalist constitution from the bourgeois revolution has become null, the capitalist discarded it, but we can't leave it there, that's to stay in the negation. what does a socialist constitution look like? What does the route to creating one look like? How do you essentially graft the social acceptance people had for the previous one (ie what I said about people valuing freedom of speech, assembly, etc) into the new one? How would a constitutional convention even be assembled? Are we expecting a party (say, the PSL) to write it and then push it out on to the masses? Will it be more decentralized, maybe delegates from hundreds of organizations around the country? What about the indigenous perspective? What culture comes after settlerism? What would it look like to present this new document, and how do you defend it's legitimacy against counter revolution?
>>2661742we are in strong agreeance on this entire topic
>>2661716I will be pleasantly surprised if this doesn't end into another "defund" wedge issue for the coming elections. The security state is bipartisan policy so an actual opposition to it would be big, I think.
>>2661755Since you asked about indigenous, I've never met an elder who wants to replace the Constitution since then there's no leverage to pressure the government to honor existing treaties. It can be reformed by holding it accountable. Short of a convention of states, this is realistically the only framework that can hold their feet to the fire until accountability becomes reality.
>>2661649>it's kind of infuriating how obvious it is that none of you read anything and are just playing a game of telephone throwing around buzzwords to sound like you fit in and know what you're talking about.Projection. You open with ad hominem because you are wrong.
>>2661632>confirmed for not having read Marx or understanding dialectical materialism on the most basic possible level. Marx literally predicted that a communist revolution would happen in the most advanced capitalist countries (e.g. Germany and Britain in his time), and he was only wrong about this in the sense that we have not yet seen a successful communist revolution happen yet that didn't involve a colonized third world country being forced to take its history into its own hands.Wrong. Marx predicted that Russia may be first to have revolution. You are wrong. Marx was right. You are kautskyite.
>Deng understood that it was consistent with dialectical materialism for China to pass through a capitalist stage of development but that it needed to be kept in check by a centralized state. Wrong. Capitalism in China ended under Mao. The remnants of the bourgeoisie was eliminated by Deng.
>>2661755>it has been the negation of something, and not the creation of somethingyou can thank "dialectics" for that
>>2661767make this man general secretary immediately

>How would a constitutional convention even be assembled? Are we expecting a party (say, the PSL) to write it and then push it out on to the masses? Will it be more decentralized, maybe delegates from hundreds of organizations around the country?Psl must be destroyed for socialism because they are imperialist, along with all other revisionist.
>>2661782this is REALLY funny
>>2661759>The security state is bipartisan policyTo beat a dead horse, there is no other avenue or channel through which this can flow. The democrats will monopolize on the popular discontent from recent events and throttle any policy alternative which poses a threat to itself and in turn its donor base.
These protests are spectacles and the product of the political machinations of an activist base that is attempting to reorientate itself in order to convert disaffectation into its own electoral success; the issue will be subsumed beneath a complex of rhetoric meant simply to fool voters once again and to provide a veil behind which its ruling class may stand in order to carry out their affairs.
4 years after the death of George Floyd, the American public handed Trump his majority. Absolutely nothing will change except an ever increasing awareness in the mind of the average American that the use of state violence has grown to the point that its agents may carry out what are essentially executions in broad daylight with impunity.
>>2661782Musk tier clapback
>>2661782Of course they would be from the irrelevant age of cuckchan.
so this strike thing is literally the only hope of this particular shindig ending, isn't it? organizing the city and uniting its people one by one
well too bad, MSM already did its magic and it completely vanished from the news, and thanks to the billionaire's row at trump's, even social media had next to nothing on it
might wanna look into carrier pigeon breeding
>>2661782She posted him as the soyjack.
It’s over.
>>2661798It means they are afraid
>>2661792It isn't even a clapback; it's a brazen distortion of facts through open misrepresentation and lying in order to smear political opponents whilst in the process radicalising their voter base.
Such a distortion of truth is in effect an ideological censorship meant simply to deny that reality which is inconvenient
>>2661802Its also a bitch move they didnt breakher spirit so they coped and photoshoped a victory
>>2661798the need to quickly organize another longer general strike
>>2661798The state is always two steps ahead because they control all the psyop machines.
>>2661804I declare general strike.
>>2661804yeah that's a given, these day-long "strikes" have always been a bad joke, I'm tempted to assume that whoever came up with that idea was cointelpro from the start
>>2661649>talking about things in terms of "consciousness" is one of the most basic concepts that communists make use ofthe issue i raised wasn't that you employed the concept of consciousness at all, it was that you employed it as if the fact of a lack of advanced consciousness is by itself a sufficient material diagnosis of the contemporary "left's" failings. an actual historical materialist analysis would concern itself with the facts of human life that slow or prevent the development of advanced consciousness.
In hindsight I'm surprised they let Maduro aura farm peak nonchalance in his prison photos instead of AIing him into a crying soyjak (and making him a foot shorter)
I'm seeing people joking that euroids placated Trump over Greenland by promising him full military access to it counting on him not knowing he already had it, and you know what, that seems all too possible.
>>2661798It was a good idea, but the SA (brown shirts) kidnapping people is actively organizing the world against them. The contrived distractions of the drama influencers are to keep the cult shielded from reality, so it looks like a protracted resistance enduring many more casualties is what ends the shindig as the cult shrinks and public sentiment sours on the SA.
>>2661822mexico did the same a while back. the problem is that eventually word gets back to trump that he's been "fooled" (does this count as fooling) and he feels humiliated and lashes out. but trump might treat euroids different. or he might just forget due to dementia.
>>2661716yanqui chimp thinks their latest AFL-CIA organized #HandsOffNATO liberal imperialist protest matters.
>>2661782it's true. stop DEBOONKING and start killing

There's nothing more here than the zomified transactions of desperate capital
>>2661824You live on another planet, utterly delusional
>>2661829Elaborate pls. Are you saying public opinion won't shift, or that there won't be more casualties or kidnappings? Does maga not isolate its adherents from reality with contrived propaganda?
>>2661830I literally cannot be bothered to take the time to explain the defecits in your reasoning if you are going to reduce political realities into a black and white pantomime
>>2661650Most people online live in a middle class bubble and believes everyone has the same intelligence as them until they disagree with what they say.

whoever buying that is the son of this mother.
>>2661840all jokes aside, organizing is a way to help build Community, anon, and yes, you should be doing it not just for the cause but for your well-being too
>>2661835>Speaking to Axios, one top presidential adviser insisted that Trump still wants “mass deportations,” but is feeling uneasy about the optics.
>“I wouldn’t say he’s concerned about the policy. He wants deportations. He wants mass deportations. What he doesn’t want is what people are seeing,” he said. “He doesn’t like the way it looks. It looks bad. So he’s expressed some discomfort at that… There’s the right way to do this. And this doesn’t look like the right way.”
>Trump’s reservations stretch back to before the ICE shooting of Minnesota woman Renee Nicole Good, which sparked further demonstrations, when Trump’s team reviewed private Republican polling showing erosion in support for his immigration agenda, according to the outlet. The polling reportedly showed a dip among independents, moderates, and minority voters, a bloc critical to his 2024 victory and to Republican hopes of holding the House majority in November’s midterms.
>…Those numbers have taken on new urgency as footage from Minneapolis, including masked federal officers and confrontations with demonstrators, circulates on cable news and social media, with Trump voters like Joe Rogan questioning the tactics.
>The moment, according to Axios, has prompted quiet talk among some advisers of “recalibrating” the administration’s approach. What that means in practice remains unclear.Almost smells like blood.
>>2661840Go to the incel thread
>>2661843lol
these ghouls' entire appeal was the optics, not the numbers. they could've just followed the obama deportation machine if they wanted pure numbers but that wouldn't let them live out their weekend warrior fantasies of busting heads in the streets
>>2661844being lonely does not an incel make lol. We are desiring machines. Desire is a productive force, not to be ashamed of and repressed. Anon wants a gf with the same values he has. That is good, and he should do that. As long as you're genuine, and you wear your heart somewhat on your sleeve, this is absolutely not only possible, but encouraged in my opinion.
>>2661844>wanting love and companionship is "incel"the people on this site really are not serious people huh
>>2661843The cat is quite literally out of the bag; any ground lost on the issue will weaken his position and embolden his enemies, whilst internal party pressures will push the base further to the right. His administration doubled down when it threatened to use the insurrection act as well as its point blank refusal to conduct an investigation into the officer responsible for the Rene Good shooting.
>>2661851yeah? suck on this pole *points to dilznick*
>>2661716>>2661719>>2661720if I were the accelerationist in charge of ICE I would order ICE to attack these people or maybe even try to starve minneapolis by blockading the roads and bridges into it. Maybe starve it of electrical power. A media blackout and siege against Minneapolis to punish them for their very weak resistance might finally awaken revolutionary energy in this country
>>2661857That's exactly why ICE simply retreated and will be back tomorrow instead of antagonizing the protestors. The fascists are terrified of this outcome.
>>2661849I think they're demoralized over Greenland not working out, maybe realizing there's more to this whole geopolitics thing than brute force
>>2661860Forgot to remove my sarcastic fed flag
>>2661843again. this is BS. you can't possibly believe the guy is 'feeling uneasy', about anything.
unless he fires steven miller, and openly changes the tune, this is pure face saving propaganda to calm the people.
>>2661860I don't think greenland was ever the actual objective.
I don't know how people don't understand Trump's psychology yet.
>Make some outlandish claim about something you're gonna do that freaks everyone out>Pretend it's a joke and keep repeating it to make people nervous>It's not actually a joke>Once the reality sets in, the other party will rush to the negotiating table to prevent the collapse of human civilization>Trump privately negotiates for bribes to his hotels to "convince" him to drop the issue>Suddenly he comes out and says the opposing leader is a "great guy" and they came to a "historic agreement" while refusing to offer any details of what was agreed to>Later on it's revealed, but no one cares because corruption is better than "the literal end of the world" so liberals don't even bring it up for fear of being accused of being "pro-greenland annexation" or "pro-war in venezuela" or whatever.>Usually this is also connected to some domestic crisis that he's trying to distract from, and the two issues can be played against eachother to keep control of the narrative at all timeswhat a dumb country we all live in
>>2661863>feeling uneasyIt's kinda obvious that any talk of his history with jeffrey makes him uneasy, so there's one thing. That, and not getting his way.
>>2661864The cruelty is the point, true. Flooding the zone with cruelty.
>>2661867the point is that he escalates every situation to "nuclear war" and then "offers" the option of "letting you off easy" for the low low price of a subscription to Trump Steaks
>>2661871Well, at least he's finally a billionaire instead of just playing one on tv.
