US and Iran exchange strikes as Tehran again says strait of Hormuz is closed
“A vessel that had jeopardised maritime security by switching off its systems was struck and ⁠brought to a halt,” the navy of Iran’s ⁠Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement, without giving any details about the ship. US Central Command said a short time later that its forces began a third round of strikes against Iran. “The United States is imposing a heavy cost by continuing to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial ships freely transiting the strait,” the military said.

Critics warn EPA proposal could weaken Texans' voice on pollution from data centers, concrete plants
A proposed change to a federal rule could eliminate Texans' right to weigh in on permits for facilities considered "minor" air polluters, critics say, including small industrial operations like concrete batch plants, rock crushers and some power projects that fuel data centers. The change would remove a federal requirement for public feedback and leave it to states to decide whether to include members of the community before officials approve or deny facilities' air pollution permits that fall below "major emissions" thresholds.

In Letter, Platner Volunteer Network Warns Dems: Nominee Must Back Same Agenda to Win Our Full Support
“The volunteer infrastructure that this movement built - the organizers, door-knockers, the small-dollar donors, the hosts, the people who make phone calls and staff tables between now and November - does not transfer automatically to whoever the Party selects,” the letter states. “That infrastructure exists because people believe in a specific platform. It will only continue to exist and only continue to be deployed for a nominee who publicly and explicitly adopts these core commitments as their own.” (Emphasis in the original.)

Who Is Ukraine’s Recovery Really For?
More than two hundred businesses were present at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk, Poland, at the end of June, eighty-two of them from Ukraine. But out of Ukraine’s eighty-three sectoral trade unions, none had so much as a stall, let alone a seat on a main panel. That asymmetry is telling; and for Ukrainian activists, taking part in the conference was something of a cold shower.

Beyond “Trumpification”: Latin America’s Deepening Organic Crises
A widely held view, especially in the mainstream media, interprets the recent electoral results in Peru and Colombia as though all of Latin America could be painted with the same brush, reducing the region’s political landscape to a single story: the rise of the Right. The Economist, for example, claims Latin America is “going Trumpy.” But what we are actually seeing is massive polarization, which is leading to extraordinarily close general elections. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori won by a razor-thin margin of 0.3 percent (just 49,641 votes), with the difference coming mainly from overseas votes, particularly those from the United States. Her center-left opponent, Roberto Sánchez, has denounced the results as fraud, calling for protests. Fujimori will be the country’s ninth president in ten years, amid a deep political crisis. In Colombia, right-wing Trump admirer Abelardo de la Espriella won following an extremely polarized election. However, his opponent, Iván Cepeda, has stated he will call for “civil resistance” if the president-elect does not renounce his U.S. citizenship. Trump’s support in Colombia and votes from overseas residents in the case of Peru appear to have tipped the election in favor of the Right by a very narrow margin. However, from 2015 to the present, there have been 25 presidential elections in South America, and in 18 of them — over 70 percent — the respective ruling parties were defeated. The Right’s recent electoral victories must be understood within this polarized, contradictory context in order to draw lessons for how to defeat these reactionary forces.

J. V. Stalin: Marxism and the National Question IV. CULTURAL-NATIONAL AUTONOMY
"Thus, national autonomy, the self-determination of nations, will necessarily become the constitutional programme of the proletariat of all the nations in a multi-national state."
But he goes still further. He profoundly believes that the inter-class "national unions" "constituted" by him and Springer will serve as a sort of prototype of the future socialist society. For he knows that "the socialist system of society… will divide humanity into nationally delimited communities"; that under socialism there will take place "a grouping of humanity into autonomous national communities," that thus, "socialist society will undoubtedly present a checkered picture of national unions of persons and territorial corporations, and that accordingly "the socialist principle of nationality is a higher synthesis of the national principle and national autonomy." Enough, it would seem.. These are the arguments for cultural-national autonomy as given in the works of Bauer and Springer.
The first thing that strikes the eye is the entirely inexplicable and absolutely unjustifiable substitution of national autonomy for self-determination of nations. One or the other: either Bauer failed to understand the meaning of self-determination, or he did understand it but for some reason or other deliberately narrowed its meaning. For there is no doubt a) that cultural-national autonomy presupposes the integrity of the multi-national state, whereas self-determination goes outside the framework of this integrity, and b) that self-determination endows a nation with complete rights, whereas national autonomy endows it only with "cultural" rights. That in the first place. In the second place, a combination of internal and external conditions is fully possible at some future time by virtue of which one or another of the nationalities may decide to secede from a multi-national state, say from Austria. Did not the Ruthenian Social-Democrats at the Brünn Party Congress announce their readiness to unite the "two parts" of their people into one whole? [17] What, in such a case, becomes of national autonomy, which is "inevitable for the proletariat of all the nations"? What sort of "solution" of the problem is it that mechanically squeezes nations into the Procrustean bed of an integral state?

cheers for the news anon

by the way, do you happen to have an archive or whatever for all the thread pics you use? you once posted something i thought was really cool, but i'm having trouble finding it.

it was an art piece that depicts some sort of global revolution class conflict thing with ranks of priests and bourgies and so on on the left of various historical eras and the working class on the right rising above them, with earth or something in the background.
