Anons, I need some second opinions

Anons, I might be about to do something big, and I wanted to ask some other comrades for advice. No I am not about to commit an act of domestic terrorism.

I've spent the last six months working/organising with what's basically one of the most well-known indigenous resistance groups here in Australia. I was asked to write a political program for them. I did. I was hesitant on how receptive they'd be for it, since it's basically "we need to become a Communist party" and has a section specifically devoted to Marxism-Leninism. When I presented it to them I tried to tiptoe around it to test the waters with basic anti-capitalist, anti-colonial talk before plunging in to namedropping Communism and ML.

The waters were very receptive.

Far more receptive than I was expecting or hoped. They asked me to print it out and give them a copy they could "translate into blackfellas language", since I have a rather formal writing style - which they said was good, it meant they could use me to communicate their ideas into coherent statements and policies and translate it to more formal political language.

So I come to you, Anons. I don't really have anyone irl I can share this with to get a second opinion, so I humbly ask you lot to read this and tell me what you think. The people it was meant for liked it a lot, but they're not really Communists, although they were very receptive to the basic ideas once I explained it to them. I framed it through the lens of being a method to decisively defeat colonialism and showing them the link to Capitalism - i.e. the economic mode of production of private property - and why that must be defeated too. Telling them stories of legendary anti-colonial revolutions in Vietnam - they'd never heard of Uncle Ho - also helped sell the idea.

I'm looking for some thoughts and advice on what you guys think. Are there bits I should change, reword, or add? This is not meant to be an outline of policy or an ideological manifesto, but more a broad outline of political ideology, strategy, and tactics.

Just to answer some, what I'm assuming will be questions you might have:

>Who are these people?

Aboriginal Australian activists in the Tent Embassy in my city.

>What's the tent embassy?

In Australia, the colonial powers never actually legally settled any agreements with the original indigenous peoples. Terf Island just said it was all "Terra Nullius" ("land belonging to no-one") and called dibs on all 7.7 million square kilometers. However, there were (and still are) more than 250 indigenous nations in Australia - all of them had defined territorial boundaries, governments, "capital formation centers" (kinda, they all lived in communitarian societies, but they did have farms, quarries, logging camps and fisheries), and permanent settlements with villages and towns. Most nations consisted of a single or a small handful of clans or tribes, but larger ones operated in a confederal, decentralised, horizontal, collective government consisting of multiple such tribes and clans. It's estimated around 1.1 Million people lived in Australia in 1787, the year before Britain arrived.

At no point, however, did the colonial powers ever recognise their sovereignty, and it's still a contentious point in Australian politics today. In the 1970s, some guy went to Canberra (Capital City) and set up a tent he claimed was the "Embassy" of the original aboriginal peoples of that particular spot right outside Parliament House. Clever idea. Fast forward to today, and the embassy is still there, and while sovereignty and colonialism is still a contentious issue that keeps coming up to the forefront of politics, and Embassies have been set up in virtually every major city in the country, they haven't accomplished much. I didn't know there was one in my city until this year, and apparently it's been there since I was 5 months old. But when I started hanging out with them, I found out they want to change that. So I've been helping them.

>Why don't you know any comrades irl?

TLDR I got kicked out of the party I was with in Dec 2023 because some personal events happened and they were worried I'd make them look bad. It wasn't fair, but whatever. Some months later I was advised I'd have an opportunity to appeal the expulsion eventually, and I should join up in organising work on single-issue programs in the meantime. I'm fairly confident what's wrong will be put right soon enough.

Turning the Tent Embassy into a fighting center of working-class, anti-colonial organisation is the best I can do. It has been real work to get this from being a ramshackle group of tents with signs into something even slightly resembling what we want it to be, but real progress is being made.

>What are their goals?

Well, read the program, duh. But in short they want to make the Embassy into a place where people can come to learn about Aboriginal culture and tradition that was almost lost. They want to have facilities they can make money off of to fund the embassy and expand its practical and political activities. I'm reminded of Lenin writing that "tea-houses" run by comrades whose profits go towards funding worker's organisations and communists is a great idea, and their idea of being able to sell modernised versions of traditional indigenous food for the same purposes is basically the same. When I asked them how they intend on defeating colonialism and what the long-term goal is, they described to me, verbatim, Lenin's theory of Dual Power. Almost word-for-word. I think that's why the warmed to me so quickly, I've been able to put into coherent words what they've spent years thinking.

Anons, pls help. I kind of know what I'm doing but I am only one man. I've got quite a couple years of irl organising under my belt, I think I've read a decent amount of M/E/L/S/M, and it's great to actually use them. Putting the theory I've read to use is amazing, though I'm still flying solo and I know enough to know I don't know enough. I'm powering through reading as much of the relevant Lenin as I can to try make up for it. Hence why I come here.

Working towards socialism is a leap of faith

Let me begin by saying that I’m a socialist myself, more specifically an anarcho-communist. That said, I always back to the same matter: the society we can create must be created within the constraints of human nature and material reality. The problem is, human nature is unknown. We do know humans have a tendency towards well-being, as most want socialist solutions to their problems. Yet if we judge humanity based on its history, it’s discouraging. The ongoing genocide in Gaza is an example of it. We must accept that under the right conditions, humans are capable of atrocities. Power relations seem to be intrinsic to humans, as it is a curse and self-preserving.

A socialist society can’t be rationally or scientifically justified. It is based on our desire for a better society. It is, then, a leap of faith. And there’s little reason to believe it’s possible besides our desire and pale observations

'real communism'

If you 'denounce' the historical real socialism that existed and exists, you can't be a communist.
>but those were not real communism
Real communism is the movement which abolishes the current state of things (private property the alienation of species-being) and it is the expansion of worker association to international terms. To think 'communism' can be reduced to just a single historical act is silly. It is, after all, a process. Real socialism was one such historical act in a chain of many to come.
>okay, they are communist, but they are totalitarian! They are authoritarian!
Those are empty words liberal ideolouges use to justify equating the Soviet anti-colonial socialist project and the Nazifascistic colonial Lebensraum project, to keep the status quo of liberal representative democracy as the 'only democratic nonauthoritarian' society.
>what do you mean the soviet project is an anti-colonial project?

https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1913/may/07b.htm
>I… I didn't know. I'm sorry. I will now study the history of the Soviet Union and build an antiimperialist socialist project on the Marxist-Leninist tradition. I will support the anti-colonial Palestinian people's struggle. I will globalize the intifada.
And you will defend the People's Republics of China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, Belarus and the DPRK. You will study Cuban agroecology and you will learn to live with nature. You will have Chinese high speed rails and high quality Belarusian agricultural machinery. You will be happy.

The biggest capitalist villain

Given everything that's come out during the Diddy trial, I find it highly suspicious that Clive Davis hasn't been mentioned once.

Clive Davis is arguably the most powerful man in the entertainment industry, moreso than Lucian Grainge and whomever runs Disney. He is 92 years old and an ultra-billionaire porky. Like Diddy, there have been rumors swarming for years that Davis is behind a lot of shady shit, namely running Epstein-like sex trafficking rings in the music industry since the 1970s. It is a known fact Davis was involved in one of the biggest payola scandals in the music industry in the 2000s. He is also known to commit tax fraud/evasion. Yet he hasn't been charged with anything. This can be explained by the suspicions Davis is a federal informant who's been working with the FBI for decades to get blackmail dirt on celebrities, identical to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Davis essentially buckbroke Diddy when Diddy first entered the music industry. Everything Diddy is currently charged with are things he learned from Davis. It gets deeper when you look at the trial. Diddy, like his mentor Davis, is also an alleged FBI informant. It's rumored Diddy orchestrated Tupac's murder (the feds wanted Pac dead because he was a Black communist breadpilling people through his rhymes) and almost certainly had something to do with Biggie's death as well. The prosecutor against Diddy is allegedly James Comey's daughter, Comney being the same prosecutor in the Epstein/Maxwell case. Given that the prosecution is currently floundering (they have yet to prove Diddy is a sex trafficker, only that he's a sexual pervert with a piss and cuckold fetish) one can easily see that this is allegedly a cover up of an alleged cover up: either Diddy walks free and everyone involved goes about doing their evil, or Diddy is found guilty and becomes the fall guy while the bigger villains (specifically Davis) go unchecked.

To put the cherry on the sundae: Clive Davis owns a school at NYU, the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Everyone who teaches there is getting paid by Clive; you can clearly see an overlap with the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

March 15th, Belgrade Serbia

Tomorrow a huge protest will be held in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade, protesting the government’s refusal to accept the demands made by the students, as well as protesting against general incompetence and corruption. From the student to the teacher, worker and pensioner, war veterans and children all around Serbia will gather together in this protest.
Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.

Post-socialist boomers are WAY WORSE than burger boomers

Whenever I see our burger comrades cry about their boomers? I just smirk. You guys got it good.
What unites post-soc boomers with burger boomers is:
>they did gone got it way better than the following generation(s)
>loudmouthedness
>know-it-all mentality
What differentiates post-soc boomers from burger boomers (from most obvious to less):
>They enjoyed WAAAAAY more "social benefits": world class and completely free education; rents paid toward the local gov. (instead of private entities) that cost them at most 5% of the median wage; way more off time, paid holidays, maternity leaves, etc.
>during the regime change (soc -> cap) they faced a market environment that was basically EMPTY, meaning they could easily become the "plumbing tsar in a region" with just their basic socialist provided education (if they were anti-social enough) and pre-capitalist "colleague-network" (as opposed to burger: heavily saturated market + inter-p-bourg networked "capital");
>they had a MUCH EASIER access to unproductive/parasitic capital post-economic-system-transition, especially in the sense of (almost) FREE REAL ESTATE (acquired during socialism), which they converted to rent seeking, and so on;
>and very importantly, the "post-soc to pro-capitalist transition period" had basically provided them a period which paralleled what Marx and Engels called the "phase of primitive accumulation" in the context of Great Britain, which is to say: legalized robbery;
>the afformentioned meant in the context of industrializing Britain that newly emerging capitalists just could force everyday serfs into wage labour. For post-soc boomers, however, this meant the unashamed STEALING of state manufacturing, importing, exporting, EVEN if they were literally illegal under the post-socialist law…
I could go on, but hear me out on the consequences!
Fucking post-soc boomers:
>Had it easier than post-ww2 boomers in Burgerland (explained above);
>and naturally hid their own "privileges" (which, as I said included semi-illegal "pirate" activities) behind their facade of "talents";
>many of them even recieved literal NGO/SOROS/CIA/etc. funds and now control a country based on their pseudo-opposition to said NGO/SOROS/CIA/etc. funds (prime example: Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz coalition…
Now imagine, when a burger boomer "educumates" a burger zoomer about how he's lazy Vs. a post-soc boomer, who literally was allowed to STEAL so that that "HOLY PRIVATIZATION" could take place…

Well… Just imagine why I smirk, when burger comrades cry about their boomers.

OUR POST-SOC BOOMERS HAD IT WAY EASIER. THEY COULD STEAL (PUBLIC RESOURCES, COMPANIES, FIELDS, PLANTS, GRANTS, ETC.) AND THEY STILL THINK THEY CLIMBED A ROUGH(ER THAN AVG.) MOUNTAIN! THEIR REACTIONARY ATTITUDE IS REINFORCED BY HOW MUCH EASIER THEY JAD IT, COMPARED TO BURGER BOOMERS!!!

Proprietary software must be fought against at every opportunity

Microsoft is the CIA. Pretty much all US big tech is. Windows is a global CIA mass surveillance program via monopoly capitalism. It’s completely impossible to make Windows secure, there’s no secret registry switch. The entire thing is compromised top to bottom, and under no circumstances should anyone consent to its use. Closed source spyware monopolies are a weapon of war against us by the bourgeois state.

Open source operating systems are software communism. If we’re not willing to build and use existing forms of technological sovereignty and anti-capitalism, then we’re probably not willing to do any other forms of communism either. I hate the “No ethical consumption under capitalism” mantra. How do we expect to get out of capitalism without building alternatives? I think a lot of leftists hope a revolution will happen then just magically replace all the corrupt and bourgeois components of consumerism, using the same uninvolved passive mechanisms.

Do we really believe a windows update will just drop after some election that restores our rights, trust, openness, privacy and dignity? It must be built and owned by the people.

Your opinion on People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran and why leftypol should support our communist brothers.

>The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), also known as MEK or MKO, is an Iranian political-militant organization founded in 1965 by gommunist students aiming to overthrow the Shah and establish a revolutionary Islamic-socialist state. Initially blending Islam with Marxist ideas, the group played a role in the 1979 Iranian Revolution but quickly fell out with Ayatollah Khomeini’s regime. Following severe repression, the MEK turned to armed resistance and formed an alliance with Saddam Hussein during the Iran–Iraq War, leading to widespread condemnation and deep unpopularity within Iran.

observation

I have observed the following.

a) most socialist organization headquarters are more or less functional offices that are for meetings and bureaucratic work. They are sometimes used for parties or safe spaces where communists get drunk and high together (I have rarely seen communists use anything but grass) outside organizational hours. There are some makedo libraries but most of it consists classic theory.
b) most anarchist headquarters are literal fratboy slumhouses where everyone is constantly drinking, smoking and being disgusting. They house literally sufficient infrastructure to encourage loosemindeness, consistent drinking, 'hanging out' in perpetuum without allowing a second of discipline. The news and printed works they have displayed is stupid contradictory shit that gets accumulated over the years without anyone actually reading it.

R: 41 / I: 9

Accepting that you're a piece of shit

I've been suffering severe depression and other mental issues for a few very valid reasons, and I think I've finally figured out why.
>I'm mad that I wasn't raised spoiled
>I'm mad that I wasn't raised to love myself
>I'm mad that I'm not a woman
The first reason is the biggest. I don't care what you say, growing up spoiled must be some amazing shit. If you're poor, you're subject to every possible harm. If you're rich, although you may still be subject to harm you still have a variety of options to soften the blow. Worst case scenario sans murder or death?
I never had such options. I was getting constantly moved around to avoid bad blood with landlords. I was constantly the one that dressed like shit and had nothing. I was the one kept at an arm's distance, because when all of the conditions that I were subject to finally met, it resulted in a person deeply unlikable by 95% of the population of children in my place and time of growing up. I see the life I could've lived all throughout the internet. Rich people like to be seen, they can afford the flashiest things. They get seen online, and that viewership includes myself. I see these people, my age, sometimes a little older, increasing of them younger, and I just know that I gotten scammed. I could be there with the job daddy gave me, with the truck daddy bought me, with the clothes and nice things daddy gave me the allowance for. But I didn't. I grew up in poverty with a very questionable mother.
I'm not sure how my mother sees me. I don't know if she sees me as a personal vanity project, a failed attempt to create a retirement fund, a replacement for the man she never had in her life, or as her child. But she was raised in a harsh environment; some of the last "third world" spots of society in the 1980s were her backdrop growing up. Alcoholism, drug trafficking, sexual physical emotional abuse in spades. This raised a hardy woman who in spite of her questionable judgement was still capable of making sure food was on the plate and a roof was over the head.
She didn't know how to express love, nor how to correct mistakes. From chores to my behaviour in school my mother was extremely sharp and although seldom - not never, seldom - laying hands on me her verbal lashings have created a masochistic soul that finds no comfort in comfort besides physical comfort which is eternally strapped to discomfort of the mind and soul. I understand I do not have scars from the damage she's done to me, but it is very real. I am a broken person. She had beaten into me a great sense of martial duty, without the physical actions to back it up. I have been boiled in a hypocrisy that has made bad become worse.
I can't feel comfortable with anything I want to feel comfortable with. I'm a trans woman, I know this. I look at my body bloating up, my waist getting thicker, each day bringing forth new facial hair, and I get sick. I've had panic attacks over this, I think that my worsening gender dysphoria has caused a long-term episode of panic attacks which afflicted me severely for a year. Each passing year when I turn a year older I've increasingly continued to consider taking my own life. I think that if I make it to 21, I probably won't - but making it to 21 depends on making it through 20, which I am yet to do.
Back to the point at hand. Dressing skimpy? Only recently have I felt comfortable to do that. It sucks that this is after I kicked a nicotine addiction and my weight tanked from 50 or so kilos to almost fucking 70. My waist has gone up by a good six centimeters, my figure has gone from "ehh long-backed lady?" to "ew, dude". I hate it so much. I also hate the fact that I don't feel comfortable associating with so many artistic things that I should feel very comfortable with! Femtanyl, for example? I feel this feeling of just "not wanted there" from every piece of work she's made. Raves are another good example. I'd love to go to one… and do whatever they do at raves, and it's clearly not dancing nobody is fucking dancing anywhere. But I just know how unwanted I'd be from there. I've tried to seriously branch out to IRL hobbyist communities, ones that theoretically should've been a perfect fit for who I was. But for the crime of having some very base morals, I was made unto a martyr and it consequentially has traumatized the everliving fuck out of me.

So what now?

I've been bitching on this site about my life on-and-off, decreasingly so, for the past two years. I've come to terms with what and who I am. I am garbage. I am the neurotic shivering crackhead descent of ancient Norman aristocrats and Anglo-Saxon bourgeoisie merchants. One grandfather was a drug dealer, one grandfather was the son of a psychotic rapist. One grandmother was a literal 140iq genius, the other… is my grandma I know and she seems to be rather nice.
I am not "superior". I have defects that cripple me and give me slight benefits in others. I am retarded in many ways. I do not look at fucking ketchup or pizza with cheddar and think "food" like a normal person, I think it's inedible because I'm retarded, while gorging a pound of unprepared rotten fucking milk in dead microbugs. I can shoot a target with a carbine from 100 meters because that's one of the only things I'm good at. I can starve myself and march forward in times of hunger because I am too broken to keel over and say I deserve better. I am not superior. My ancestors made that word up to feel better about how deeply empty we are. I am empty. I am not a person like most others. I am not a proletarian, a peasant, a serf. I am not one of those humans. I sadly cannot find meaning in myself. We are a people crippled by this great hole in our souls. My ancestors filled it in their way, and I will too. This is me staking my flag in this world, me setting down my anchor.

Romance & Love thread

Figured I made a thread to share our romantic experiences – or lack of thereof, – opinions, wishes and advice. That is part of the whole LGBT experience besides the sex and gender.

I reached mid 20s with barely any experience, autism made sure of that. Kissed a drunk lesbian once, I don't even think I looked that cute for a guy in his 20s, so I was honored more than anything. Broke up a friendship with a trans girl after some hasty choices, but she was crazy anyways. Now focusing on friends, making and deepening them.

Wish I had a man I understood and was understood by, someone light-hearted and whimsical to have fun with on the short time I have here on Earth. Femboy-ish ig, not masculine, but takes care of himself, with a touch of femininity to him. Impartial on sex, willing to do it, might be fun even.

One thing I like is the idea of relations as temporary, serial monogamy if you will. I'm all for loyalty while in a relation, but that doesn't necessarily mean it must be forever and ever. People change, why shouldn't their relations? Admittedly I do see the romance in a lifelong relation, sticking with someone and changing together with them. Besides looking for a new partner every x amount of years sounds exhausting.

Vtuber General

ITT We discuss about our favorite Vtubers, corpo and indie alike. Liveposting, (Spoilered) Porn and Rateposting are all encouraged.

I'll start with my own recommendation:

Rie Himemiya from Phase Connect [EN] Gen 2 Phase Alias. A Vsinger with great covers and original songs such as Love Potion #520 and ゲテモノ (Bizarre Food) / Utsu-P ♡ to give you two examples.

Her streams as of now center around variety gaming such as her recent playthrough of Pokémon HG/SS as her first Pokémon game although she is mostly focused on Limbus Company and Library of Ruina as well as community projects like Date Ideas for Valentines season or making a love song out of Schizophrenic Maros.

However I do recommend her older VODs as well such as Sandtrix or Gayraoke for her humor and great chat interaction. If you want something more recent check out her 100 songs for 100k Christmas Special from last year. Remember to do your reps and backreading

https://www.youtube.com/@HimemiyaRie/streams

https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/artist/6tKYFARX2bMPlQwglwXNoB


When it comes to membership content, for Tier 1 you get members exclusive covers, static and animated wallpapers, exclusive community posts and access to her art archive.

/koba/ - Iosef Vissarianovich Stalin Generał #1

Thank you for everything, Joseph <3
I have seen many interesting input from various anons on Stalin here, whether in the form of opinions, books, documentaries etc. They happen sporadically, scattered on different threads which rarely have anything to do with Stalin, ML or USSR. I figured a Stalin General Thread would be useful. A place where to share all things Stalin and discuss all things Stalin.
Though I am pro-Stalin, this is not a strictly Stalin-worship thread. Posts critical of Stalin too are welcome. I simply request that they are in good faith, and not just 'muh ML' trolls.

PAX TREATLERISTA -- UNSER TAUSEND JAHRE REICH

The main hurdle which prevents us from living in Socialism is not opportunism, revisionism, the petite-bourgeoisie or racism and what not. It is because the majority of workers are objectively retarded. I am not trolling. I am not happy about it. Once I realised this, it depressed me greatly.

Leftcommunism would be the norm today if workers were not retarded. And that is the greatness of MLs. They understood this and included this information in their core principles.

Could the future socialist experiment be a Algocracy?

>lgocratic governance, algorithmic legal order or algocracy is an alternative form of government or social ordering where the usage of computer algorithms is applied to regulations, law enforcement, and generally any aspect of everyday life such as transportation or land registration.

With the rise of A.I and new ways using it , could it be that in a future worker's state the government could become semi automated by it?
I think re-thinking Allende's un-realised project could be a inprovement

28 Years Later

The characters were good and the cinematography excellent, so overall it was a good film, but god, the plot went absolutely nowhere. There wasn't a climax and it was much less impactful than the other two. The film was a great first half… BUT I WENT IN EXPECTING A FINISHED EXPERIENCE! I can't believe they sequel baited with the fucking Telly Tubby Rangers! It should have been an hour longer and with a good climax, I would have been fine watching for an hour more because I was deeply immersed and enthralled by the film.

What did you think about it?

Cooperatives

Yes I know worker coops aren't socialism because they still have markets and commodity production but could they at least break the power of the bourgeoisie since there would be no more capitalists at most there would be proletarians and petit bourgeoises

Given this isn't turning 100% of for profit businesses in a country into worker coops a good intermediate goal since it starves the bourgeoisie of their profits which they use to rule with politics?

All of you celebrating Mamdani are about to receive the fell for it again award, just like you did with Bernie and AOC, and Obama if you're old enough to remember.

FREELANCER

<Freelance (sometimes spelled free-lance or free lance), freelancer, or freelance worker, are terms commonly used for a person who is self-employed and not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term. Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labor to clients; others work independently or use professional associations or websites to get work.

This is my question: are freelancers PETIT BOURGEOIS or not? if not, what are they? proletariat? and whats the distinction between a freelancer and a smol business owner with no employees?
