>One of the most important aspects of the fight for sex worker rights is pointing out that prostitution is not only normal and natural, but that it exists on a continuum with other female behavior. While it’s not entirely accurate to say “all women are whores”, it is accurate to say that there is no clear line delineating prostitution from other female sexuality. A minority of women never do anything which even remotely resembles transactional sex, and a minority are professionals, and a huge majority occupy the immense grey area between those two extremes, occasionally or frequently trading sex for money or other things they desire, whether with strangers or employers or friends or boyfriends or lovers. It is precisely because there is no foolproof way to separate prostitution from other sex acts that police must lie and manufacture bogus “evidence”, and also the reason why women who do not consider themselves prostitutes need to be just as opposed to the criminalization of our trade as we are. If you’re sexually active with a man or men to whom you aren’t married and want to know what a prostitute looks like to police and prosecutors, look in the mirror.

No seriously. Why did veganism and animal rights activism seemingly die out entirely from the left?

I’m old enough (38) to remember when veganism was practically a litmus test for determining if you were a principled leftist or not, especially in anarchist and Maoist spaces. Nowadays it seems like no one under 28 is vegan anymore, or gives a shit about animal rights.

Having become an anarchist as a teenager in the early 2000s, I fully remember how interwoven the radical left was with the animal rights and vegan movements. Gen X and xennial comrades in particular were very dogmatic about this issue, arguably more than they were most issues concerning US imperialism. But the younger generation doesn’t seem to care at all. Why?

For the record, I was never vegan and I eat an omnivore diet now, but still.

Farming is subsidized because there is a semblance of democracy left, subsidizing local industry is popular policy. Vegans products need to be labeled as what they because of laws against lying about what you're selling, shame you get fucked by consumer protection laws.

Blackrock lost millions on artificial meat, and Blackrock is just a "private" arm of the deep state


Veganism is no longer anti-establishment. It's become incredibly corporate with every major food company looking to capitalize on vegan products. I can go to the gentrifier cafe in my neighbourhood and see at least eight different plant milk options (soy, oat, almond, coconut, macademia, hazelnut, cashew, pistachio). Where's the rebellion in that?

Since 2019, there's also been a wave of "no longer vegan" YouTube videos and blog posts. People are becoming a lot more open about the problems they dealt with while on a vegan diet which de-romanticizes the lifestyle.

Maybe it's just me but I've noticed a lot of vegans cheat in that they will eat animal products when visiting their parents or something, or they'll occasionally eat cheese or ice cream whenever they have a craving for it. At the May Day afterparty this year I saw three comrades whom I know claim to be vegan eating the cow's milk ice cream. I guess they had no issue with doing so as long as they weren't the ones buying the ice cream.

With how bad shit is getting for the average person, maybe people just stopped giving a fuck about animal stuff?

The focus on vegan activism of western leftist does feel to me to stem from a point of privilege

We all know that Jesus existed historically, I assume most of us don't think he was the son of God and stuff, but he still existed but just may have been a bit crazy, but was he a force good or not? At the time he existed I would say he was because despite the cooky stuff he still at the end of the day spread a message of empathy and compassion that many would call Pre-Marxist-Socialism, which is why the Romans killed him. Obviously after his death his teachings devolved into what it is now but many great people still used his teachings for good like John Brown and MLK.

>and the romans tolerated and even integrated gods from other pantheons
Except that’s not really toleration, it’s a radically different mindset. The Romans and Greeks genuinely viewed other people’s Gods as their own, just with different names cause In their context, someone from one village to another might see a minor river god as the main deity of that village, on par with Zeus. People worshipped and understood gods in radically different ways, Sparta worshipped Ares and Aphrodite as a war goddess, while Athens viewed her as a goddess of love and saw Ares as a dumb brute. There were no doctrinal councils or organized cultic leadership dictating what people should believe. Instead, religion was defined purely by custom and practice, sacrifices, offerings, votive carvings, things people did on their own, with their households or in small community gatherings.

>We all know that Jesus existed historically
Do we? To me, Jesus is a mythical, not historical figure.

>>2802085
I mostly got it from my studies at university.
Do you speak french ? I have a PDF of a book about this exact subject published in 2024.
>>2802161
Fair enough, toleration wasn't the right word. But I meant that they respected local traditions, roman emperors practiced the traditions of where they were. Nonetheless, it was seen as something evil when the traditional roman cults were changing, as seen with Elagabalus attempt to enforce his god as the supreme god of the roman pantheon. Interestingly enough, pagan traditions were still a way for later rulers to justify their power, despite the christianisation. Even the Merovingian dynasty legitimised itself by both claiming they were the descendents of Troy and by claming that Merovee's father was actually a half-bull half-fish creature.

This is why I think that people overstate christianity's role in setting the bases for the early medieval order, while the church did play a large role, the main institutions (kings, nobility) were based on roman pagan traditions (Germanic ones are overstated except for the names), and while paganism disappeared, its traces remained, the early middle ages was syncretic in the west, not purely christian.

That was a period of Christian history when people believed most Greco-Roman myths actually happened, just not with gods. The default approach was Euhemerism, which is why you could see artwork of Alexander as a Christian king

>While in most respects the ancient Greeks and Roman had been superior to themselves, they had been in error regarding their religious beliefs. An examination of the principal writings in Middle English with considerable reading of literature other than English, discloses the fact that the people of the Middle Ages rarely regarded the so-called gods as mere figments of the imagination but rather believed that they were or had been real beings, sometimes possessing actual power.[21]

Why does it seem like while the greek anarchists love to riot, it feels more authentic than american anarchists? like its more like an IRA riot… its an entire neighborhood pouring out as one to combat against territory they see as their existing in conflict with their own. i'm not trying to hate it just seems when american anarchists or leftists tbh attempt anything like this it boils over into disorganized chaos quick, but in greece they seem more unified through and through. is it the individual logic of americanism creeping into every aspect of life, even movement life, or is it cointelpro being strong here? the cia is who invented cointelpro apparently, not the fbi, the fbi were just the proxy

The Paris Commune didn't seize the banks and didn't expand, that's why it failed. Communizers wish to use communism itself as a means of struggle against capitalism, and to paradoxically establish communism. This is done through communist measures.

A communist measure is the overcoming of exchange, money, value, the State, hierarchy, race, class, gender distinctions etc. What replaces them and the ways in which they are overcome changes according to the needs of the situation.

Communization tries to see opportunities in current struggles in which the course towards communism can be taken, it does not try to imagine a revolution in the future where "the conditions are ripe" but wishes to use current struggles as opportunities for communist revolution.

They are actually ideologically against it and the existence of Israel, as paradoxical as it may sound.
They believe the purpose of Jews is to be wandering people, and that it's against the word of Yahweh to try to create paradise on Earth. They also point out Jews lived rather fine with Muslims in Palestine before the creation of Israel, even if they had second-class citizen status like…everywhere else. That said, I imagine they have material benefits to stay in Israel, since they can get NEET shekels to study the Torah.

The goal of Mahayana Buddhism is to become a Bodhisattva, an enlightened being who takes a vow to not enter Nirvana until they've achieved the liberation of a certain class, sometimes all classes, of sentient things.

There are many Mahayanists who are Marxists, Tenzin Gyatso included (although he's a filthy leftcom). There are also many Marxists who are Mahayanists. Engaged Buddhism is a thing, as well as humanistic and secular Buddhism.

PERU ELECTIONS 2026
PENCILMAN FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
Well dear leftypol, the country with more presidents in the decade now has to again elect one. After the debacle of Pencilman I, the betrayal of Dinamita Boluarte, the r*pist lapdog of Jeri and the sarcophagus of current Balcazar comes the rematch. Roberto Sanchez, exminister in Castillo's goverment is practically the second round candidate with Fujimori (no explanation needed). Now, he is being bombarded by the press to debilitate his campaing and with all the sloganeering as always (statist, terrierist, betrayer, etc).

So how do trade unions form?

>>2802158
They have formed by canvassing to workers, whether in a particular field or to workers in general. Thus, there are plumbing unions, teacher's unions, etc. But also general labour unions.

>>2802160
So its spontaneous and not something that can be "forced" or hastened?

>>2802160
>general labour unions
Class unions?

>>2802163
General trade unions like Unite and GMB in the UK have around 1.7 million members, collectively and span various industries.
>>2802162
How do you mean? You generally pay a membership fee in a union, so if someone is forcing you to pay something, they're robbing you.

the cuban flotilla is being run by the PSL but they aren't using the PSL to push the flotilla because everyone with half a brain knows by now that the PSL has a history of sexually assaulting cadre across multiple branches, so they are using other orgs they run like code pink to do the promotion and optics of the flotilla

the flotilla, much like the PSL and the rest of these astroturfing organizations like Veterans for Peace or Code Pink are funded primarily by this billionaire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Roy_Singham

I would be highly suspect of any content creator or activist who joins the flotilla. The PSL is one of the biggest obstacles for a revolutionary American left to overcome.

>they aren't using the PSL to push the flotilla because everyone with half a brain knows by now that the PSL has a history of sexually assaulting cadre
As former PSL, I think you're missing the mark. Those sexual misconduct allegations are 100% true for the record, and the organization is rife with male chauvinism. That being said, that's not why PSL is laying low about their involvement. Internally PSL couldn't care less about the allegations against them. Rather, PSL follows standard Marcyist (quasi-trotskyist) practice in believing that elevating the consciousness of the masses is secondary to "doing something". This means essentially mirroring (and oftentimes taking part in) the liberal nonprofit industrial complex, but it's super duper different because they sometimes admit some of their politics upfront. If you want an example of this in their public writings, look at their book "Socialist Reconstruction", which actively minimizes the question of revolution in favor of openly idealist fanfiction depicting a "United Socialist States of America". It hardly needs to be said that this is tailism and opportunism. It reflects a basic fear of the masses and their propensity to reject Revolutionary Communist politics in the US, and its practical demands. Rather than grapple with why people (particularly whites) in the US embrace fascism and social-fascism over Communism, they prefer to minimize politics in favor of empty "militancy" and economism. Again, quasi-trotskyism.
>I would be highly suspect of any content creator or activist who joins the flotilla.
I don't think it's worth making much of a fuss over if I'm being honest. The flotilla is ultimately a performative gesture of "doing something". I think PSL should be critiqued for minimizing the need for revolution as they campaign to defend a country they consider socialist, a patently absurd practice but not one that's anything new for them, and "content creators" deserve the wall regardless of their involvement with PSL anyways. Nothing about the flotilla or joining it is actually producing any long term changes to how Revolutionary Communists should relate to revisionist and liberal forces in the US. So like, don't waste your breath. Focus on the ongoing struggles that actually matter.

I've thought the Singham story is the biggest nothingburger. Like there's some rich guy giving you money? My attitude is like meh take the money, what criticism can you make of that which isn't moralistic. What makes me feel more pessimistic, however, is seeing someone like Chris Smalls (in your example) go from being this popular union organizer who came out of nowhere and seemed different and new to becoming another "media leftist" quasi-celebrity. Like there's no workers' political organization as much as a media presence substituting for one and the activism which builds around that skews towards the symbolic and performative side because that's good for media, and maybe that is related to the money going into the media side of things.

Cuba is an irrelevant island. America is the global superpower. It would be us developing cures for the world's diseases. Cuba isn't special. It's America's turn to kick out our occupiers and part of that is realizing what's good for Americans like having cool medicine and why we don't have it.

James Mill (the father of J.S. Mill) was friends with Ricardo, and his "Elements of Political Economy" (1821) is a good, short read, which evidently influenced Marx in different ways (namely, his discourse upon "medium of exchange" and "productive consumption"). Now that I think about it, the introduction to the Grundrisse (1858) is probably a good read as well, the same as the Communist Manifesto (1848) which describes crises of overproduction and class war. Thomas Hodgskin's "Popular Political Economy" (1827) is a brief but detailed exposition of Political Economy for general audiences, since Hodgskin was a "Ricardian Socialist" (sometimes seen as a "Smithian" socialist) who supported the working class. As you replied to me I was quoting from the conclusion of the first book of the Wealth of Nations, to give you an idea of what the work demonstrates, since it is a helpful addition:
<Every increase in the real wealth of the society, every increase in the quantity of useful labour employed within it, tends indirectly to raise the real rent of land. […] The whole annual produce of the land and labour of every country, or what comes to the same thing, the whole price of that annual produce, naturally divides itself, it has already been observed, into three parts; the rent of land, the wages of labour, and the profits of stock; and constitutes a revenue to three different orders of people; to those who live by rent, to those who live by wages, and to those who live by profit. These are the three great, original, and constituent orders of every civilised society, from whose revenue that of evePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Se você é um comunista sério, que entende o básico do básico do marxismo, a resposta é sempre sim. Qual deles é o correto vai se provar concretamente apenas quando um deles conseguir mobilizar as massas pra tomar o poder.

Qualquer coisa menos que isso te faz aluma outra coisa além de comunista/marxista. Pode se auto intitular o que preferir: socialista democrático, anarquista, sindicalista, ecosocialista, terceira via, etc. Mas se chamar de comunista ou marxista você tá se enganando e enganando outros.

Você já falou que sua família é Mormon correto? Eu vou usar de uma analogia com isso pra ilustrar meu ponto. A igreja dos mormons, Igreja dos Santos dos Últimos Dias, não é reconhecida como cristã por nenhuma denominação cristã (catolicismo, ortodoxos, anglicanos, luteranos, pentecostais, batistas, etc.) Porque todas essas denominações tão diferentes uma das outras concordam entre si que eles são cristão, mas não os Mormons? Porque essas denominações todas afirmam o Credo de Nicea; os Mormons não.

Da mesma forma, marxistas de diferentes tradições teóricas que se odeiam, sabem diferenciar entre outros marxistas que são de uma tradição diferente, ou pessoas que abandonaram o marxismo por completo. Você que uma pessoa ou grupo ou tradição teórica abandonou o marxismo quando ela não mais fala em luta de classes e revolução, os dois pilares em que todo movimento comunista se baseia.

E é muito óbvio pra quem já fez a leitura básica porque esses são os dois pilares: luta de classes, porque existem classes distintas com interesses irreconciliaveis, e revolução porque é o processo onde uma classe usurpa a outra de poder. Todo anti-comunista de esquerda abertamente nega o segundo, e com isso implicitamente nega o primeiro.

Mein neues Buch „Der Wahrheitskomplex: Wie NGOs im Staatsauftrag unerwünschte Meinungen bekämpfen“ erscheint am 4. Mai. Hier präsentiere ich eine Leseprobe zum Aufbau des deutschen Wahrheitskomplexes. Im Buch erfahren Sie auch, wie nach diesem Vorbild der europäische Wahrheitskomplex aufgebaut wurde und welche Rolle der militärisch-geheimdienstliche Sektor der USA dabei spielte.


Leseprobe
„Deutschland war in Europa beim Aufbau des Wahrheitskomplexes und dessen rechtlicher Unterfütterung ein Vorreiter. Es begann bereits 2014, auch wenn das damals nicht erkennbar war. Aus dem Umfeld der SPD heraus gründete sich das Recherchekollektiv Correctiv*, das sich zu einem wichtigen Pfeiler des staatsnahen Wahrheitskomplexes entwickeln sollte. Im gleichen Jahr setzte die Merkel-Regierung das Förderprogramm »Demokratie Leben!« auf. Aus diesem wurde ab 2015 mit steil ansteigenden Summen »zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement« gefördert. Ein großer Teil davon ging und geht an NGOs des Wahrheitskomplexes.



Im September 2015 vereinbarte der damalige Bundesjustizminister Heiko Maas (SPD) nach einem Gespräch mit Facebook-Vertretern in Berlin die Gründung einer Arbeitsgruppe (Taskforce) gegen Hassbotschaften. Wichtigste Teilnehmerin aus der sogenannten Zivilgesellschaft war die Amadeu Antonio Stiftung (AAS). Diese wurde 1998 von Anetta Kahane gegründet, einer langjährigen informellen Mitarbeiterin der Staatssicherheit der DDR. Die Stiftung engagiert sich gegen Rechtsextremismus, Antisemitismus und Ausländerfeindlichkeit. Im Stiftungsrat sitzt unter anderem der Präsident des Thüringer Verfassungsschutzes, außerdem ein aktiver Politiker der SPD und zwei ehemalige von Grünen und FDP.

Anlass der Taskforce-Gründung waren Proteste gegen die tolerierte Masseneinwanderung. Die AAS hatte offenkundig die Vorarbeit für Maas geleistet. Sie veröffentlichte im Monat vor Bekanntgabe der Arbeitsgruppe eine Broschüre über den Umgang mit »Hate Speech« im Internet, mit einem Geleitwort des Justizministers, in dem er die AAS dafür lobt, dass sie Strategien und Handlungsempfehlungen anbietet. Weil diese Arbeitsgruppe gegen Hass den Auftakt einer Kampagne darstellte, die in das Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz und dessen Nachfolger, den Digital Services Act, münden sollte, wollen wir uns die AAS und ihr Verständnis von »Hassrede« näher anschauen.

AAS-Gründerin Anetta Kahane vertrat auf einer Pressekonferenz im November 2020 die These, »weil der AntisPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I asked the same question on twitter but only got /pol/ hurled in my direction, apparently cuckold porn and third world uighas are somehow related to my inquire

I trust my /leftypol/ack to be more articulate here, if only to be odious in the way only leftists can

I choose the red button because postmodern society has failed me and I have become embittered

The first time I saw this hypothetical I didn't even understand what the dilemma was, it was just
>press the button that increases the chance of mass death for seemingly no benefit
or
>don't do that
Blue seemed obvious until I stumbled on other people discussing it. After that I thought I had reconciled the contradiction between the best choice for an individual and the collective with a strategy where you publicly advocate for blue but privately press red. But I guess at that point if you fail to sway enough people then you've just convinced a bunch of people to die, so.

I have a feeling my initial reaction would be fairly common, and depending on how much time there is between the vote being announced and held, the ideal strategy would involve suppressing as much as possible the people spreading pro-red cognitohazards. As far as "everyone lives" thresholds go I prefer 50% to 100%.

>>779257
I press blue. The game theory angle seems reasonable until you remember that the people society needs to function are more likely to press blue, such as medical workers and engineers while retarded business majors, instagram influencers, politicians and peasants in shitholes like syria that have loyalty only to their clan would press red.
I fully expect the vote to come out as red. A place like Syria would come out as 95% red because they have loyalty only to their family clan, not to the higher idea of the nation, nevermind humanity. A lot of the world still operates like this. Strong families = no societal cohesion and trust = red. So Arab countries, Africa, India would all be very red. There is also the cultural factor. You know every single American patriot will press red because their whole thing is that they are special snowflakes and statistics don't apply to them. I don't really know enough about East Asia to say it would be red or blue - they supposedly have a strong conformist bias, but also they are very mercantile societies.
But every society will still lose a lot of the most educated and critical people.
