I dogged a tsarist

I lost my virginity to a girl a few years ago and I decided to look her up out of curiosity. She is an unironic tsarist. She supports monarchism and posts anti bolshevik propaganda like it is the 1900's. When we were together none of us were into politics but still.

I don't really know what to say but I am proud about the fact that I as a stalinist got my dingaling blowed by my greatest political enemy.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is retarded

Russia had no good reason to invade Ukraine, Ukraine has good reason to resist Russian occupation but should be open to ceding territory in return for peace if possible. I do not buy that the Far-Right parties around the world that defend this invasion were actually le based prole-pilled geniuses the entire time. Prove me wrong.

What do you think of the Sovintern?

It's a new international network of communist, socialist and left-patriotic parties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovintern

The ACP and Galloway's Workers Party of Britain is in it so it's gonna trigger some people. Some SocDems are in it. Evo Morales and the Sandanistas are in it. But overall I would give them a chance, considering the rather dysfunctional state of the IMCWP right now (thanks KKE).

Britbong government arrested a vtuber for artwork of herself.

From what I can tell this British loli vtuber, Mimi Yanagi, who is an adult, commissioned hentai of her character and posted it on her social media for her fans. The British government raided her for this art and she's now a sex offender for life and might be prosecuted for CSAM. As a condition for being designated as a "sex offender" she's now required to use her real name on all her online social media accounts, putting her at risk of real life harassment or murder/rape, all for posting drawings lol…

And yet the west calls China a "police state" when I've never heard of anyone in China being arrested and doxxed for a drawing.

I know this has nothing to do with leftism but just thought it's weird.

Is Israel losing?

>first October 7 - Israel's 9/11 sequel
>then the Houthis attack the Galaxy Leader and kidnap 25 people
>then the Houthis kill 3 US servicemembers in a drone strike in Jordan
>then the 12 day war
>then two US Navy SEALs drown in the Arabian Sea trying to seize Iranian supplies going to the Houthis
>now the 2026 Iran War that resulted in the US not achieving any of its day 1 objectives, instead getting stuck in an expensive war as Iran unleashes hell on US military bases across the middle east with intelligence provided by Russia, the Strait of Hormuz is blocked still, other countries are getting involved (like France) and Israel is running out of soldiers from the Gaza War that depleted them severely, including inflicting heavy losses on their Merkava tanks
>now Israel wants to seize Southern Lebanon, but Hezbollah is waging a drone war and stormed Israeli military bases in Northern Israel (including drone striking Bibi Netanyahu's house a couple years back)
Did Hamas just pull a 9/11 on Israel? First a terror attack followed by a war that Israel can't win. Just like when Al-Qaeda attacked the United States in 2001 and got us into two wars that we lost (Iraq and Afghanistan). This Iran war is extremely unpopular at home. All the signs are there. Israel is losing support in the US. While Israel relies mostly on Azeri oil rather than Gulf oil like the US and thus the Strait of Hormuz getting blocked mostly doesn't affect them, just remember that Turkey can block that oil off if they really wanted to. Now famines are gonna hit due to shortages in gas and fertilizer in poor countries, and Tel Aviv lie in ruins from constant Iranian missiles. Israel's reserves are worn out and suffered heavy losses in the Gaza war (400 dead IDF I think after October 7 where 1,200 or 1,300 were killed by a vastly weaker opponent) they can't fight 4 wars at once. They won Syria after the FSA took over. But will Israel survive this? Haredis don't want to fight and many people are leaving Israel because they're tired of living underground in bomb shelters constantly.

Under capitalism, games are job-like, but what if under socialism, jobs were game-like? A socialist society could take the artistic lessons of what makes something tedious more fun, addictive, and rewarding, and use it to labor required to make society function less miserable? You guys will probably shit on this idea but at least try to critique it constructively or think creatively about it.

On "Anti-Revisionism" "versus" "Revisionism"

the funniest thing about "anti-revisionism" vs "revisionism" is that it is not something Marx ever mentioned, because he would never imagine himself as the static, unchanging root of a globe-spanning political project called "Marxism" with various branches like "Marxism-Leninism", "Marxism-Leninism-Mao-Zedong-Thought", "Marxism-Leninism-Maoism", "Stalinism, "Hoxhaism" and so on . Instead, Marx revised himself several times during his own life, moving from a framework rooted in alienation and species-being, to a framework rooted in (what would later be called) historical and dialectical materialism. Engels famously said that he and Marx's system was a method, not a dogma, and Kim-Il-Sung repeated this when innovating Juche, as did Deng Xiaoping when innovating "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics", make of that what you will. So if innovation is allowed and Marxism is a method, and not a dogma, why all the controversy about "revisionism?" If Marxism is meant to be applied to unique spatio-temporal conditions which outsiders, even sympathetic outsiders, usually fail to understand, why do outsiders always look for "revisionism" to condemn? Why not just accept that we are all striving not for "[insert the name of Great Men]" -ism but Communism and that our paths towards Communism are evolutionarily convergent from our different spatiotemporal standpoints rather than divergent from some imagined "anti-revisionist" standpoint? Am I being revisionist right now?

Let's look at how Marxists.org defines revisionism (you may disagree with each other on this very point):

> Revisionism


>A fundamental alteration of a theory, essentially usurping (though taking elements of) the former theory and replacing it with a new one. While the attributes of a theory are subject to change in accordance to changing historic circumstances, changing the fundamental basis of that theory is to nullify it in place of a new one.


Was Marx "Revisionist" when he revised himself? Who has the authority to decide the criteria for what is "subject to change in accordance to changing historic circumstances" and what is not?

I think the encouraging results of an even half-successful practice matter more than the purity of theory, personally.

A thread for the harmonious discussion related to the saviour of socialism, the uplifter of nations, the king of cooperation, the soviet of SOVL, the enjoyer of empathy, the ally of Africa, the demigod of development, the bureaucracy for banter, the prince of ping pong, the lobotomizer of labour aristocracy, the protector against proxy wars, the sponsor of sophisticated sciences and culture, the guarantor of gommunism, the Proletarian Dictatorship of Chynah™.

do classcucks really?

>elon musk was born jun 28 1971 and has been alive roughly 1.73 billion seconds
>elon musk as of may 2026 has a net worth of 788 billion dollars
>elon musk has roughly $455 for every second he has been alive

classcucks will say he "earned" that. lmfao. that every second of his life, his genius brain innovates 455 dollars into his pocket.

can a person really "earn" that much or can they only get lucky and maybe also position themselves properly in a fundamentally exploitative system? some of you will no doubt answer that he "earned" it for the sake of provocative contrarianism

Indophobia

Why are Indians suddenly the cool new group to hate? Who's pushing this so hard? It seems like it kind of came out of nowhere. The only thing I really know about India's history is British colonization.

GamerGate: A retrospective

Not sure if this is the right place, but since this is the gaming tab, I say why not?

Back then, GamerGate was the start of something fresh, something edgy, something that was actually rebellious against both the bourgeois moralisms stifling the internet and the feminist hegemony that no western male could escape from. It was an escape valve, in other words.

But of course, I was wrong as GamerGate later on mestatized into being another wing of the current right-wing hegemonic ChudIntern. Indeed, GamerGate was merely an exercise in online reactionary activism, but we should actually try to analyse it as opposed to dismissing it as chuds being chuds.

It’s won’t give you the kind of analysis that has probably been done to death here, such as the alienation of young men, the rise of white upper-class female idpol and the HR-style managerial culture that preceded online censorship and SJWs’ political correctness, journos forming email groups as part of a coordinated attack on the median gamer, the MSM’s double standards towards female-exclusive spaces vs treating male-only spaces (such as gaming) pathologically, etc…

This is a good summary of the event from a gamergater’s POV: https://wolfsheadonline.com/how-wikipedia-and-molly-white-rewrote-the-history-of-gamergate/

Instead, I’ll say this: The rise of the gooner chuds that you see today is a product of GamerGate, itself being downstream from the left’s rejection of sex-positivity and and pathologisation of any form of assertive male heterosexuality to heed the demands of the feminist bourgeoise that held a stranglehold on the left.

Obviously the online right isn’t really sex-positive as much as being pro-sexual hierarchy and has been the case within the western right since the days of the Nazis and even before then (e.g., Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume). It’s just that their vision of sexuality makes enough space for male heterosexuality to attract young men (the most revolutionary demographic) into their fold. The left’s response? It’s either dumb Puritanism as shown by puriteens who think Euphoria (that show starring Sydney Sweeney) is rape culture, or bastardised “trad Marxism” about banning porn and prosties cuz muh exploitation even tho Chinese games nowadays are heavily gooned out + the Soviet bloc was lax on non-commercial erotica (hence why post-collapse Eastern Europe became a thriving heaven for porn). The modern left thought that selling out on the 1970s sex positivity to appease radfems was worth it despite handing the right a victory. I mean, remember that time Reddit’s r/socialism mods went apeshit over catgirl anime edits even tho it was done a female leftist member and it was just SFW anime girls but with cat ears edited on them? Yh, that’s the level of discourse you’re dealing with when it comes to sex-negative leftists.

Of course, there’s the issue of ageism, and ohh boy is that big. There’s this attitude among both the centre and the left where young men are often infantilised as being lost sheeple or stigmatised over their age in ways that would be alienating if done to other demographics, so the end result is young men flocking to the right precisely because they don’t think they will have any stakes in the left. Seniors are supposed to help youths who are proven to be determined to fight for the revolution, not throw’ em away for violating some HR-mandated code. It’s one thing to maintain decorum in conversations and being opposed to extremism, but you won’t get far if you try to overpolice on every little convo your members have.

What’s the takeaway from me then? The left rejecting sex-positivity and embracing ageism were its two biggest mistakes that cost them an entire generation.

P.S.: It’s one thing to oppose sexual hierarchies that devalue humans, it’s another to devalue the body and the Eros in and of themselves. The left shouldn’t necessarily embrace prostitution, but it also shouldn’t embrace sex-negativity either. I would personally suggest reviving the free sex movement because, if sex does become widely available under a secular sex positive society, then obviously prostitutes and porn studios and pimps would be out of business. That’s why Marx often noted how traditionalist marital moralism coexisted with prostitution, with or without its prohibition. But I’m open for other suggestions.

Again, can’t say if it’s said already or not, but I do think those points need to be hammered home as it seems that the left prior to the Gaza genocide was struggling to remain relevant, especially as Big tech right figures like Musk and Thiel were pumping a shit ton of dollars to aid the remnants of the alt-right to carve their mockingbird network out of it; their work has paid off in the form of the current unholy MAGA and alt-right and neocon nexus that I’d like to call “white neoconservatism with Enoch Powell characteristics”, with Australia’s and Canada’s brightest minds Drew Pavlou and Captive_Dreamer starting out differently only to end up being rabid racist neocons.

So yh: Sex-negativity and Ageism are bad things, folks.

Mahayanism General

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.

Ceterum te certiorem facere debeo: qui procedet, in Terra Pura renascetur! Qui recedet, in inferno ardebit! Gloria Buddhae Amitābhae!

localism as the future of politics

<ITT: discuss various forms of localist politics, e.g. communalism, municipalism, other forms of localist socialist governance, distributism, etc

there are some who still complain that russia was "socialism in one country". i contend that they are right, not because the concept is absurd, but because they do not go far enough. we have not yet taken stalin's gnosis to its logical conclusion and brought it to the hyper-financialized modern era

the current dichotomy in modern discourse has largely been between reformism and revolutionism. ultimately both forms make the mistake of operating as though contradictions are uniformly distributed. it is either you immediately go against the whole system in order to take it down, or you work with the whole system in order gradually reform it into socialism. why are these ultimately the only two notions entertained? the first approach underestimates the adaptability of monopoly capital or they fail to see the difficulty in coordinating an immediate revolution across large spans of the country. i think we all can see the failure of the second approach with its disregard for the blatant capture of bourgeois institutions by capital. maybe instead of still operating at such a high level of social change, we should focus more on what we can achieve on lower levels

this was part of the wisdom in "socialism in one country", it was the recognition that the contradictions were ripe in certain regions over others thanks to imperialism, and the specificity of these contradictions to particular regions only supports rather than detracts from the cultivation of determinate national character (contrary to industrial capital, which constantly strives towards maximal hyperconnectivity and the erosion of all national determinateness). ultimately, if you can not even achieve socialism in one country, there is much less hope in achieving socialism globally. now, we must of course acknowledge that "socialism in one country" was a logical response to imperialism, with the latter's tendency to unite the various classes within a society against a common imperialist bourgeois enemy. it is easy to see this and conclude that various forms of third-worldism are the answer. my issue with such a position is that it simply gives us an excuse to sit on our asses all day. if we actually carefully analyze things, we would notice that developed western nations have a tendency to, after the rest of the world has been conquered, start to turn imperialism back inwards. this initially manifests as a ghettoization of the country. the late stages of this tendency is the current administration's attempts to destabilize the american nation so that technocrats would be able to capitalize chunks out of it. with such a tendency, we have, in various western nations, the tendency for the contradictions to uniquely concentrate in particular regions rather than others. this calls for a new stage in the "socialism in one country" tendency; socialism in one region

the point on technocrats deserves expanding. we see with the government spending and tax cuts, combined with the mass layoffs of federal workers, the commitment towards gutting the power of the federal government. one of the groups targeted by such layoffs were the fbi. this is likely part of the attempt to privatize national security and give it to the hands of palantir and other tech companies. as a result of this movement, the federal government is weaker than ever before in its capacity to engage in special operations. if there was a time to build an entrenched position, the time would be now. aside from this, the erosion of the federal government is also a sign of neo-reaction now rising towards state ideology. the ideal many of these technocrats are moving towards is "patchwork", wherein there would be multiple relatively autonomous zones that would experiment with their own forms of governance. the federal government is meant to give way to "freedom cities", "network states", etc. i believe this is an instance of imperialism being turned inward, with these imperialist nations mounting towards self-colonization. there has been a serious lack of appreciation of this tendency on the left in any actionable capacity. if the western countries are really moving towards "patchwork", why is it not possible to have a socialist form of this? while these corporations have the capital, the labour does not strictly belong to them. there is, i believe, untapped potential in the prospect of pursuing "exit". by this i do not mean the usual anarchist lifestylism which simply attempts a small-scale secessionist strategy. rather, i am talking about something more coordinated. i am not afraid of some degree of centralization as long as the relation between the local and the global is sufficiently mediated. i hence personally lean more towards a council communist orientation

while we have neo-reaction become state ideology, we have seen a localistic turn in reformist strategies as well. with progressive victory we see a concerted attempt to secure executive positions at the city level, with some manifest success. of course, these guys are are all socdems, but it demonstrates the greater potential that can be drawn by pursuing concrete local objectives rather than vague organizing strategies that dont seem to ever go anywhere

if we can not achieve socialism even in one nation, there is little hope to achieve it globally. likewise, if we can not achieve socialism in a singular municipality, the capacity to achieve it in a single country and hence globally, becomes questionable.

it is based upon this logic that i see a decent amount of potential in bookchin's municipalism as a strategy. there can be a larger scale party or federation that can help encourage the proliferation of municipalities. i remember there was a thread on municipalism before, but i unfortunately didnt post in it to articulate this broader perspective

i also have articulated my own program with regards to things based upon various localist principles. my idea would be to create an alternate structure of power which is stratified on top of worker cooperatives. other fractal democratic organs would be in place to ensure maximal representations for different sectors. i do not intend to have what i am doing be a general movement because i have particular pro-trans pro-biotech pro-fleshcraft priorities, but the core idea can definitely be made one

The Cuban energy crisis

Cuba is currently facing one of its worst energy crisies in its history, entirely caused by the US goverment further tighting sanctions on Cuba, and with the recent overthow of the Venezuelan goverment now Cuba has lost its most valuable trade partner.
There is a deficit over 2,000 MW, so its supply isn't even coming close to its demand.

Local transportation, services, and obviously healthcare is being restricted. And considering Cuba does more for the global south in heathcare then literally any western country, it tells you how much this really effects the world, not just the nation itself. As of writting this thread Russia is sending a humanitarian ship to Cuba, do we think the US is gonna stop the ship?

So i must ask, what can we do indiviually to help Cuba?

People demand “Bato” arrest
Various organizations widely condemned the Senate’s indulgence and defense of Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa after the International Criminal Court (ICC) publicly issued an arrest warrant against him in the afternoon of May 11. The ICC confirmed the warrant for dela Rosa’s role in the Duterte regime’s “war on drugs.” ICC spokesperson Oriane Maillet stated the court issued the warrant on November 6, 2025. Authorities made the previously “secret” document “public” only this May.

The House, which is dominated by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s allies, voted 257-25 with nine abstentions. The two impeachment complaints against Duterte, which will now be elevated to the Senate for a trial, mark an initial setback to her plan to seek the presidency in 2028. Shortly before the impeachment vote in the House, Senate President Vicente Sotto III, who had vowed to immediately put the vice president to trial, was ousted by 13 of 24 senators, including supporters of the vice president and her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte.

​‘Our only crime is being Shia’: Pakistani workers say UAE surveillance led to deportations
Several Shia community leaders in many parts of Pakistan told Middle East Eye that thousands of Pakistani workers, most of them Shia Muslims employed in the UAE for years, have been deported since mid-April under opaque circumstances. Many of those expelled said that the UAE authorities never formally explained why they were deported. However, deportees and community representatives believe the campaign reflects mounting suspicion towards Shia communities amid escalating regional tensions involving Iran.

Alarm over its discovery deepened on Saturday after it was reported that the long-range kamikaze drone was laden with an estimated 100kg of explosives. Greek defence ministry officials refused to confirm it was loaded with munitions.

Is there anything in anime and manga that hasn’t been discussed yet?

I lurked across many anime forums, and at this point I don’t think there’s any interesting discourse to be had, leftist or rightist, regarding anime. Of course, due to Sturgeon’s law, few anime are actual gems. But that’s not the point. The point is that:

Is there any point in re-hashing the same old arguments.

Last time I remember, the only engaging discourses among weebs were about Frieren and Drama Queen, but for different reasons.

Frieren moreso for its depiction of demons and its comparisons to Tolkien’s orcs. For those who don’t know, a YouTuber named Lextorias made an hour-long video discussing the narrative problems with demons and the manga’s/anime’s inconsistent portrayal of demons as being absolutely evil, explaining via both in-story and authorial reasons for it, coming to the conclusion that Frieren’s demons are just a badly-written species. What was the reaction to it? Chuds coming out in defense of the series and attacking Lextorias with the kind of arguments he himself predicted and criticised in his own video: https://www.lextorias.com/references/frieren-dilemma/

Suffice to say, he singlehandedly managed to create an entire discourse that lasted for days in Twitter as culture war BS.

Coming up next is Drama Queen, a manga that is yet to be adapted into an anime, and highly unlikely. It’s about humans living alongside with aliens who saved them from an asteroid impact. It would’ve been another slice of life manga if it wasn’t for the fact that it caught weebs’ attention due to the MCs being sociopaths who hate the aliens and are contracted by a shady org that makes a profit off of killing the alien residents whose head is a dude with a double life as an “anti-racist” professor, with said aliens being pompous and arrogant foreigners who are taking up human life.
Long story short, people caught on it as a Japanese commentary on modern immigration to Japan with said aliens being allegory for immigrants. Which immigrants (white expats, Chinese house buyers, US troops, POC non-Japanese immigrants, etc…) is debated, but it’s clearly about immigration from a right-wing POV so far, although we’ll see how it goes since the story is still being published.

But yh, there’s no interesting discussion to be had as these themes have already been discussed to death on mainstream social media.

If anything, it would be more interesting to discuss what it would like to have robots create weebslop for robot otakus to consume, creating a cashless society out of weebslop.

Anyway, imma finna go smoke weed. ✌️

Was the War in Afghanistan actually justified?

>A 2006 WPO opinion poll found that the majority of Afghans endorsed America's military presence, with 83% of Afghans stating that they had a favorable view of the US military forces in their country. Only 17% gave an unfavorable view.
>A 2015 survey by Langer Research Associates found that 77% of Afghans support the presence of US forces; 67% also support the presence of NATO forces. Despite the problems in the country, 80% of Afghans still held the view that it was a good thing for the United States to overthrow the Taliban in 2001. More Afghans blame the Taliban or al-Qaeda for the country's violence (53%) than those who blame the US (12%).
The US invasion of Aghanistan was done for purely selfish purposes and the US killed civilians regularly and with impunity. However, could an argument be made that the invasion was actually justified, based purely on the comparative evil of the Taliban?

The best bet for American communists is to do entry idk into the American Solidarity Party. This is the one strategy that has a strong chance of working.

Let me explain:

ASP exists to be a Catholic Distributist party. If you study Catholic Social Teaching and Catholic philosophy, especially Thomism (the philosophy of Aquinas), you will see that it is socialist in nature and very in-line with Marxism. ASP is the only third party that has any chance of breaking through the two-party duopoly. American Catholics are becoming increasingly frustrated with the GOP (Pope Leo HATES Trump) but won’t become Democrats due to the Dems’ position on unlimited abortion. If ASP was flooded with socialists and communists it might be the vehicle towards socialism in America.

Opinions on Appellism?

Appellism is an ideology come up from The Invisible Committee from their text called "The Call" (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anonymous-call). They are a part of the anarchist side of communization and, like mainstream communization, they support the immediacy of revolution and the abolition of the working class. They are also insurrectionist.

From what I've heard they are very problematic, with some individuals claiming that they harass fellow anarchists who disgaree with them. There's this article written by an ex-member of the appelistes, claiming that they were bigotted, didn't protect the women within the appelist circle from rapists, and that they were hostile towards other anarchists. (https://anarchistnews.org/content/jumping-ship-or-why-im-defecting-terrible-community)

They have also been seen as reformist, as one anarchist claims that they were "the French tiqqunists who sold out anarchists at the Zad in order to negotiate for state-sanctioned land projects." (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/some-intractables-more-talk-more-rock).

Both the articles linked give a lot more detail to how problematic they are, so please read them if you want more detail.

Taiwan

You will never be a real country. You have no dignity, you have no constitution, you have no control over your own economy. You're just a rebellious piece of land twisted by capitalism and the USA into a crude mockery of the chinese perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back, every single country mock you. The United States are disgusted and ashamed of you, but they pretend not to. Your “allies” laugh at your economic, military and political dependence behind closed curtains.

You will never be independent. Your leader wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell himself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the national bankruptcy creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - Your pseudo-president will wear a suit, will adjust the microphone, and announce that Taiwan will be pacifically conquered by the Chinese Nation, and plunge into the cold abyss of oblivion, that being said, or else a war will start not so far away, and China will conquer the territory that has always belonged to it, in a bloody and violent way.

When that happens, they'll update your Wikipedia page and all the history books, they'll list you as a "rebellious province of China," and you will always be remembered as a shitty little revolution that only lasted a few years, but that always belonged and always will belong to China, your history, your struggle, your sweat, it's all in vain, because at the end of the day, you are part of Chinese territory.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back, you will never be a real country.

ive also realised how much capitalism rots the mind and soul. if you watch porn all the time ive realised you kind of think like a capitalistm, you have absolutly no regard for human life what soever and only care about pleasuring yourself all the time and always seeking to corrupt things no matter if harms you or other people.

thats really what capitalism is, capitalism was never about freedom and humanity, capitalism is about being as cruel and degenerate as posible.

The bourgeoisie wants me to use public transport and bicyles

>Traffic congestion in the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico generates an annual cost of 47 billion pesos, a figure that represents half of the total economic losses caused by traffic in the country’s main cities, reported Juan José Sierra Álvarez, national president of Coparmex.
>The leader pointed out a marked imbalance in public investment: while 47% of the mobility budget is allocated to private cars —used by only a quarter of the population— public transportation, which moves 39% of citizens, receives only 1.2% of the resources. This lack of investment forces public transport users to lose 118 hours per year commuting, significantly exceeding the 71 hours averaged by motorists.

Who is Coparmex you ask?
Coparmex (Mexican Employers’ Confederation) is a major business organization in Mexico.
In simple terms:
It represents business owners and employers
It advocates for private sector interests
It speaks out on public policy, economic issues, and labor laws
It is not a labor union for workers, but for employers

organizational question

Some anon posted this article in another thread but I think it's interesting as its own. Here are some key points:
https://engelsbergideas.com/notebook/the-irgcs-way-of-war/
  1. the Islamic Republic is not organised around a single person: its institutional design prioritises not the fate of any leader, but rather the preservation of the system itself.
  2. The Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) provides a clear example. The SNSC brings together military officials (army and IRGC commanders), key ministers (intelligence, foreign affairs, interior), the president, and other key figures,
  3. The SNSC effectively serves as the central body responsible for formulating core policies on national security
  4. Through the SNSC, senior regime officials deliberate and make decisions through consensus, decisions that are formally ratified by the Supreme Leader. Decision-making thus occurs through an institutionalised and collegial process rather than through unilateral directives from the top.
  5. The armed forces are similarly depersonalised and horizontal.
  6. in wartime, local commanders have been empowered under Iran’s ‘Mosaic Defence’ policy, which enables them to act independently, especially if senior leaders are killed or communications are cut
  7. The IRGC emerged as an amalgamation of revolutionary militias

Honestly, this seems to be in line with what I would expect an honest communist party to strive (well, most of it). 1. is essentially collective leadership, 2. 3. 4. is democratic centralism, 5. is partisan warfare and 6. 7. is a network of soviets.

the great and avthentic revolutionaries are two: Deng Xiaoping and Ali Khamenei.

Do workers enjoy their alienation?

We know workers dislike domination. And contra Lyotard, they also dislike exploitation. But might a significant number of workers actually enjoy being estranged from the objects of their labor? Or at least, might they be indifferent enough to not see alienation as a problem?

Consider that as an alienated worker, I am encouraged to be utterly unconcerned with labor conditions outside of my own workplace. Or the quantity and quality of production of commodities that I do not consume. Those are the concerns of management and the bourgeoisie. My alienation provides a perverse degree of "freedom" from society, to focus only on my individual consumption and not the conditions of my fellow workers.

Whereas in a communist society of free and equal producers, I am supposed to have an interest the labor conditions in all workplaces in a society, as each directly affects the amount of social product available for consumption. The degree of political control needed to make that happen equitably seems extremely time-consuming and limiting, and I imagine a lot of workers would be turned off by it.

Perhaps that is why most 'socialist' experiments have never really addressed alienation, and why most workers seem completely resigned to the hyper-alienated existence mediated by apps and nation-states despite everyone allegedly agreeing on how horrible it is.

However, I am white myself. Therefore, in order to provoke this uprising, I go out of my way to be as racist as humanly possible. I scream the N word at every black person I see in public, I wear a shirt with a swastika on it and I kick children of lesser races. I dream of a day when the colored masses rise up and behead me in public.

Classcucks OUT, bourgeois OUT, fascists OUT, moralists OUT OUT OUT

I keep running into a particularly insidious type of revisionism. The "Deng Won" revisionism. It is stated repeatedly by disguised fascists, capitalists, and liberals (but I repeat myself) larping as communists on our board and misusing the concept of realpolitik that capitalist roader party bureaucrats can be deified, and, failing that, rehabilitated. Let me be perfectly clear. The party bureaucrats, the capitalist roaders, and the opportunist labor aristocracy cannot be "deified" or "rehabilitated" under any circumstances. They must all be liquidated alongside their inbred pedophile worker-hating Nixonist-Kissingerist counterparts. It is not the duty of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat to waste precious and limited resources attempting to coddle and reeducate opportunists who in 99.9…% of circumstances will betray the working class, because they secretly harbor counter-revolutionary opinions, and collaborate amongst themselves to foment bourgeois counter-revolution. I don't care if they "raised billions out of poverty.". You put a bullet in their fucking head. Morality is not real. It is a theistic bourgeois construct regarding property relations. It does not matter if this is "good" or "bad." You put the bullet in the bourgeois bootlicker's brain or he will grow strong enough to kill you and everyone you love and destroy everything you fought for. Do you understand? If not, you are a liberal, a fascist, a capitalist roader, and you ought to be hung by your genitals from the nearest lamp post next to the rotting corpse of Bukharin. You are not a comrade, you are a coward, and vermin, to be exterminated alongside the ruling class, their children, their pets, and their lickspittle servants. This isn't a question of "nurture vs nature" either. This is a question of risk mitigation and victory maximization. I am not "weird" or a "freak" or "hate children" for understanding this. Take heed this quote from Mark Twain (Who, despite being a feckless bourgeois 19th century liberal, was perfectly capable of understanding the need for Revolutionary Terror):

>“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”


When the time comes, I don't care if it's your local laundromat owner. I don't care if it's a guy running a hot dog stand. He is bourgeois. You will execute the entire family, or you will be executed along side them. The pets, the maids, doesn't matter. Kill. Kill. Kill.

Nobody can actually know what a communist society looks like tbh, all the talks about having "real unmediated human relationship" has more to do with residual Christian norms than any actual observable scientific tendency

The communist future might be one where we all worship an AI god. It might be eugenistic. It might be an unironic 1984 managerial state. It might be a post human utopia where there are hundreds of sentient genetically engineered species that gets into a war once every few years.
Point is if we want to take communism as a serious Wissenschaft we can't go around making all these unscientific moral claims about how pure life is supposed to look life once you got rid of all the funkos

i get disliking Russia's bourgeois government, since it was a product of the collapse of the soviet union, and the US-backed shock doctrine under Yeltsin, but i really don't understand the screeching about "ziggers" and the weird focus on Putin as an individual. the "anti-zigger" posters are basically 10x worse than the "zigger" posters in terms of their basic historical literacy surrounding the 2022 conflict. And no amount of historical context seems to make them pump their brakes and tone down their rhetoric. It's hard to not have contempt for them. They don't even see how both Russia and Ukraine are victims of NATO meddling, products of the death of the USSR, products of Yeltsinism, pit against each other for the benefit of the imperial core capitalists.
