Taiwan’s ban on mainland China app RedNote makes it a top download amid fierce pushback
The island’s interior ministry announced on Thursday it had ordered local telecoms and internet providers to block access to the app, also known as Xiaohongshu, for one year over “rising online fraud cases”. Authorities also cited a “lack of cooperation from its operator in Shanghai”. But the move has unleashed a wave of public criticism, with many accusing Taiwan’s ruling independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of overreach and damaging the island’s reputation for open internet access.

Powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake strikes Japan's northeast
Tsunami warnings were issued for the prefectures of Hokkaido, Aomori and Iwate, and tsunamis from 20 to 70 cm (7 to 27 inches) high were observed at several ports, JMA said. In the early hours of Tuesday the JMA downgraded the warnings to advisories, meaning it now sees lower estimated wave heights and less risk of inundation.

Starbucks workers’ strike approaches 4th week
A nationwide strike by Starbucks workers is approaching the start of its fourth week on Wednesday. The strike, which began on November 13 with walkouts at 65 stores across more than 20 cities, expanded to 120 stores on Black Friday. Workers are demanding higher wages, stable schedules, an end to understaffing and action on hundreds of unfair labor practice charges stemming from years of union busting.

Trump says AI executive order targeting state laws coming this week
The executive order isn't likely to try to block state AI laws outright. Instead, it's expected to attempt to gut state AI laws by launching legal challenges and conditioning federal grants on compliance. This approach has far less teeth than legislation — and will certainly face legal challenges.

Florida governor declares Muslim civil rights group a terrorist organization
The order instructs Florida agencies to prevent the two groups and those who have provided them material support from receiving contracts, employment and funds from a state executive or cabinet agency. In an emailed statement, CAIR and its Florida chapter said the organization plans to sue DeSantis in response to what it called an “unconstitutional” and “defamatory” proclamation.

When the Feds Come to Your City: Standing Up to ICE
Are masked agents showing up in your town to kidnap your neighbors? Want to do your part to protect each other, but don’t know where to start? We hope this guide will help you prepare to stand up to federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as they attempt to abduct people from your community. The guide is not exhaustive—it could not be—but it is based on the knowledge that an array of people have accumulated in Chicago over the past several months during “Operation Midway Blitz.” As federal agents expand their assaults on communities across the country, it is crucial to share and build on these practices. Because the mercenaries who work for ICE and other federal agencies are constantly updating their strategies in response to popular resistance, a guide like this is chiefly useful for getting started thinking about how to resist. We encourage you to draw on this guide for ideas while adapting them to the local context that you and your neighbors know best.

42 Years of the EZLN, “One of the Hearts of the Anti-capitalist Movement”
The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) recently celebrated its 42nd anniversary, marking its founding on November 17th, 1983, when a group established a camp in the Lacandon Jungle to begin the first stage of organizing the movement in indigenous communities of Chiapas. This silent movement burst onto the world stage a little over a decade later when it took up arms on January 1st, 1994, to demonstrate its radical opposition to the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed by Canada, the United States, and Mexico, then governed by Carlos Salinas de Gortari, the political emblem of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Since then, the EZLN has shaken the global political scene by proposing an ideology that, contrary to the long tradition of Latin American guerrilla organizations, did not aim to seize control of the state apparatus but—in the words of the intellectual John Holloway, who masterfully defined it in a resounding phrase—”to change the world withouPost too long.

We are facing an existential threat to human civilization and your preferred strategy is still "sit and wait for something to happen."

Meanwhile America is literally putting people in concentration camps and actively carrying out a genocide (with your party's support, by the way) as the noose of climate change continues to tighten around our collective necks.

Here are (1) Hegel, (2 & 3) Marx on Hegel, and (4) Marx on his own "method".

Marx is very clear here: he does not have a method. A scientific investigation has to "appropriate the material in detail, analyse all forms of development and trace out their inner connections" rather than starting out with a ready-made schema and distorting the material to fit it like pretty much all of philosophy does.

Why do sons of single moms usually grow up to become players while sons of two parent households less often become players in comparison?

Should be obvious but I think single mothers are so desperate for a capable man they project expectations so hard onto any men, children included in the household that those children grow into men that dont have a concept of failing women. In short, women really don't like being disappointed by men.

I had a nephew that lived with us who was raised by a single mother in Mexico. He came to live in California when he was in the 10th grade and he definitely knew how to please women. He would buy gifts for all his immediate female relatives in Mexico. I saw him impress girls here in California with his ability to buy gifts for women. I swear one time he had these girls practically at his fingertips at an outlet store while buying gifts for his aunts and cousins. I was in awe honestly.

I'm probably going to get jumped but uh regardless, I'm feeling very frustrated because a lot of the more far left people i listen to keep saying to stop supporting stuff like DSA and junk and move to something more radical. but then they don't offer anything more radical, so we're just stuck in this feedback loop and i feel frustrated because i genuinely want to help. They keep saying that my arguments for not working on non-viable stuff is flawed but then they don't offer any alternatives and it's driving me up the wall. My main hope is that if a Dem Teaparty goes off, we can work on building actual space for third parties post trump. But I'm struggling on ways to do that, if any of you have any basic starter groups for a noobie demsoc like me please let me know. I wouldn't be here if i wasn't desperate

>Please educate us on how to get people out there then


First lesson: Stop deluding yourself with activities such as “handing out pamplets”. The proletariat currently requires actual material assistance in movement building, not more education they can’t actually put into practice.

Second lesson: American is a decaying car centric dystopian hellhole police state that is undergoing ever increasing levels of enshittification and financialization. The many cities and towns of America are not designed for the proletarian majority, but rather for capital and capitalist decadence. Think Dubai for an alternate example.

Third lesson: Any efforts to organize the proletariat will be met with an uphill battle against a system that has long locked down the mobility of its “citizens”. It has turned the very landscape into a weapon against the proletariat, a weapon that has only grown more damaging with every year.

Fourth lesson: If one wishes to have any chance at succeeding, they must become self sufficient against the capitalist fuel trade and expand that self sufficiency to the rest of the proletariat. So long as the capitalists dominate it without sufficient competition, your mobility and your opportunities in the American landscape will be greatly limited. Whether this self sufficiency comes in the form of solar cars or socialized fuel stations, I do not know. But what I do know is that it is mandatory step any American communist must take.

Fifth lesson: You will also need to turn these bourgeois weaponized road against the bourgeois forces themselves. This means cutting their support networks. This means isolating them from the proletariat while the proletariat rebuilds their circles. This means ruling the roads while they cower in their shitty little dens. It need not be spoken on how easy a task this will be.

Human instrumentality means the rejection of the evil man-god and return to the Earth godess who was traditionally enslaved through marriage. That's why its based.

The only issue with human instrumentality (and the reason I wouldn't support it) is that the LCL sea does not have the capacity to build industry, meaning it is limited. If the LCL sea could act like a slime monster building space ships and drones and dyson spheres and incorporating aliens into the soul merge and then expanding like a grey goo until all of the universe is alive and all of the universe is one, that would be really based.

Polacks and Italians were some of the most hostile to black people in areas outside of the South, and many of the most rabid Zionist warmongerers today are Jews from the Arab world who could easily be mistaken for Arabs

Because he makes le normalfags seethe and validates views that let them differentiate themselves as a "unique" tortured genius. Once you realize all of this is basically to adopt a "Not like other boys" identity it all starts to make sense. I guess neo-liberals pushing the most inane idpol imaginable also gives them a false impression that the government and "duh joos" are trying to oppress them or make their lives worst for being straight white males plays into it somewhat but I doubt a majority actually genuinely believe it.

That’s true

I'm not sure how many are true believers and how many just passively consume his stuff through short form slop because a lot of it doesn't seem to be his Nazi segments but admittedly amusing stream clips. It's always been hard since the irony right became a thing because since 2016 you've had said true believers but also a lot of people who just repeat their memes without much critical thought or intention. And to be fair despite being a weird gay kid in his mothers basement he can riff and does have a stage presence in the same way the classic talk radio guys did, i heard that he said he ironically took a page from Mark Levin when he was starting out

>“Parabiosis,” or blood transfusions as a means of reversing aging, is gaining steam in the Bay Area of California. And one startup is betting on it. Monterey-based Ambrosia LLC launched a clinical trial last year to inject clients with the plasma of 16-25 year-olds. The price tag? $8,000 for the treatment.

>Parabiosis has drawn attention from legitimate tech titans — most notably Gawker-killing, Facebook-finding venture capitalist Peter Thiel. “I’m looking into parabiosis stuff, which I think is really interesting” said Thiel in an interview with Inc. in 2015. “I think there are a lot of these things that have been strangely under-explored.”

Im so fucking sick of Thiel. Thanks to Nazi faggots like this we all have to act like reversing aging and actual transhumanism is a bad thing. These faggot yt boy nerds take transhumanism and technology and all the good it can actually do and wrap it in the most bourgeois nazi coded capitalist fuckery they can summon and then every fucking smooth brain is all "TECHNOLIGY BHAD." Fuck that. I want to live longer and I want robot parts. That way I can find Thiel, Scam Altman, Musk, Yarvin and all those pasty nazi twats and put a steel fist through their chest.

Artists such as Peter Hacks from East Germany interpreted "abolishing the state" from a Hegelian perspective, in that the state will become so big and all emcompassing that everyone born will be a member of the party, and that is the peak of human archievement

a perfect state has universal membership. its the perfect position for bureacratic ML states without dismantling their bureacracies (which will never happen)

>>2588614
>a perfect state has universal membership
Okay but that is your conjecture, not Peter Hacks. Universal party membership contradicts Hegel’s state theory because the state’s universality is mediated and rational, not totalizing.


>>2588624

you are correct.

But I also heard that in the former Eastern Bloc it was felt that improving the state into perfection was the path towards communism. In my view that seems totalitarian.

>>2588540
Yes but unironically. Nazism needs to be eradicated on a genetic level.

>>2588642

It is indeed totalitarian conceptually.

For a Proletarian Dictatorship to truly triumph, it must come to encompass all of society; Nothing must be outside it or against it.

And it is by this process, as OP hinted at, that the state itself, defined in the Marxist sense as the instrument of class power itself can wither away.

The yet harder pill to swallow is that any totalitarian state almost also itself come to resemble something close to Proletarian Dictatorship. That is to say class collaborationism will never actually achieve what the corporatists say they want it to achieve (comprehensive social harmony analogous to a healthy body); Only something resembling the Dictatorship of the Proletariat can ever hope to lead to anything close to such an outcome.

what do you guys think of the red shambala trend on tiktok?
i for one really like it and think its funny but it is kinda copying the whole 'agartha' thing and i think leftist shouldnt just copy whatever the right does

red shambala is a psyop by white american petit-bourgeois theorley MList dengoid deprogramslop enjoyers who see communism as a mere aesthetic choice and who do not care in the slightest for materialism or marxist doctrine.
it would be just as easy to make such edits featuring obscure, edgy, and esoteric looking symbols and concepts of a materialist, scientific, and marxist nature.
there's lots of crazy stuff about space, quantum physics, even fricking posadist aliens would be more realistic and accurate than buddhist tibetan serfdom ass lamaslop with a sickle poorly shopped rotating around it.

I'm 31. I never went to college because I considered it a waste of time. The state of education in the USA is abhorrent and I never for a moment considered there would be something to gain by wasting time in ideological brainwashing factories masquerading as educational institutions. I'm employed in the trades and I've always studied philosophy in my spare time, but I'm seriously considering university now because I believe (perhaps mistakenly) that my abilities and knowledge have reached a point of enough breadth and depth to make a career as a philosopher, and to get some papers and books published. Has anyone here pursued that path, and if so, what were your experiences?

>>25438
>ideological brainwashing factories
reactionary drivel

>>25439
That was quick, thank you. This is precisely the kind of thing I would expect to hear at university. Although you did not specify if you have any experience at one, so I will not be taking your comment into account unless you state otherwise.

>>25438
Publish or die is the ethos of American academia if that's your nationality. It's a grueling march of teaching and researching, whether you're paid to do it or not. However, it might be a good idea to consult some of the staff at a local university if you're at a level where you have specific research gaps you know you can fill in–though that's typically where doctoral graduates end up working, and saying you study in your spare time is a big divide between making a career out of it.
>I believe (perhaps mistakenly) that my abilities and knowledge have reached a point of enough breadth and depth to make a career as a philosopher
You should ask a professor of philosophy what their work is actually like. Consult a local university?

I'm just now deciding on whether I'll do grad school, given I have the contacts and ideas to care enough about it. I know as much as I do from being in a similar position of asking whether it's worth investing more time into an industry being attacked in the States.

>brainwashing factories

Depends on the program, I think. Most socsci or philosophy programs push you to think critically, though mileage may vary with program or staff alike.

South Korean president considers an apology to North Korea over past leafletting and drone use
OUTH KOREAN President Lee Jae Myung said today that he’s weighing up a possible apology to North Korea over suspicions that his ousted right-wing predecessor intentionally sought to raise military tensions in the build up to his brief martial law declaration in December 2024.

Speaking to reporters on the first anniversary of former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s ill-fated power grab, Mr Lee stressed his desire to repair ties with North Korea.

A special prosecutor charged Mr Yoon and two of his top defence officials last month over allegations that he ordered drone flights over North Korea to stoke tensions.

South Korean media also reported on Monday that South Korea’s military under Mr Yoon’s presidency flew balloons carrying propaganda leaflets across the border.

Despite possible domestic political repercussions, Mr Lee insists that he personally wishes to apologise to North Korea.

He said: “I do think we need to apologise, but I haven’t been able to say so because I worry it could be used to smear (me) as pro-North Korean or spark political ideological battles” in South Korea.

Since taking office in June, President Lee has taken steps to ease inter-Korean tensions, including turning off front-line loudspeakers that blared K-pop and world news and banning activists from flying balloons carrying propaganda leaflets across the border.

LOOK AT THIS MOTHER FUCKER AND TELL ME THAT HE ISNT WHITE!!! Race obviously is a social construct but despite the fact that Persians have white skin in America they are “Brown” because they are Muslim, the same goes for Kurds, Turks, Azerbaijanis, and Pashtuns. It’s not just Muslims either but it also goes for Spanish speakers, I remember there was an episode of the Simpsons where they were making fun of Fidel Castro and they didn’t color his skin yellow.

No, its a product of the late 17th century. By then colonial records in Virginia recorded "Whites".
>considering italian-americans and irish-americans were still second-class citizens not too long ago
Italians and Irish were considered "the negros of the whites", meaning they were still considered white even if ultimately inferior to other whites.

Koreans are just naturally light skinned. It's sun exposure during the summer and manual labor that makes a lot of Koreans look darker. I know several Korean people who live in countries closer to the north than SK and they are pale af.

Reminder that Marco Polo described East Asians as having the same skin color as he has. Reminder that there was a Japanese immigrant in early 20th century America that almost succesfully won a whiteness debate before an US court to be considered eligible for US citizenship. Reminder that 19th century European scholars were major hinduboos (compareable to modern weeaboos) and thats why the term "Aryan" was adopted for Indo-European languages. Reminder that the Irish are the palest Europeans but were seen as subhumans because of the constant conflicts they had with Anglo-Saxons since the 8th century.

This is more of a thought experiment than a question, but would a mobile home be considered personal property or private property?

>>2588575
there is no difference between personal and private property except the class which owns it.

>>2588584
So if it was owned by someone who was working class, would it not be considered private?

>>2588587
all property is either privately owned or publicly owned. marx never distinguishes between what is "personal" and "private" (since they mean the same thing), but only the classes which possess their property. if a worker owns something, that is their private property - if a capitalist owns something, that is their private property. the difference is their class, which puts them in possession of different means; workers possess means of labour; capitalists, means of production.

>>2588575
personal
private property is companies, factories, mines, tankers and container ships, the means of production basically

>Seriously what crawled up your ass to hate artists so much, leftypol?
Seething neoliberal technocrats ("I am not a Marxist" - Karl Marx) can't help but tell on themselves about their soulless, inhumane nature. These degenerates who put scare quotes around the word "art" like it doesn't exist literally define their entire personality around hating literacy:
<The People Who Don’t Read Books
<https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/01/kanye-west-sam-bankman-fried-books-reading/672823/
<In an ill-conceived profile from September, published on the Sequoia Capital website, the 30-year-old Sam Bankman-Fried rails against literature of any kind, lecturing a journalist on why he would “never” read a book. “I’m very skeptical of books,” he expands. “I don’t want to say no book is ever worth reading, but I actually do believe something pretty close to that. I think, if you wrote a book, you fucked up, and it should have been a six-paragraph blog post.”

<It is one thing in practice not to read books, or not to read them as much as one might wish. But it is something else entirely to despise the act in principle. Identifying as someone who categorically rejects books suggests a much larger deficiency of character. As Kanye once riffed (prophetically) during a live performance, “I get my quotes from movies because I don’t read”
"deficiency of character" yep that's Leftypol dot org slash leftypol

Nobody cares about the rights of large corporations. You're willfully confabulating "I have moral rights over my individual creative work" with "Disney ought to have legal and moral rights over the works of long-dead employees" either out of stupidity or out of seethe at artists.

It's a pernicious case because if you start from an unsympathetic viewpoint that's precisely what it looks like (they're selling an artisan product!!), even though it ultimately operates on the same logic as believing that uber drivers, deliveroo drivers, doordash drivers, etc, really are "self employed".

Cuba is a shithole overrun by CIA ideology but Vietnam has recently made surprising moves of rapprochmont with China. So I'd say Vietnam is socialist.

Is it easier to learn vietnamese or chinese? I'm a latino looking to save money and get the fuck out of latam.

Cuba is one of two genuine socialist economies I the world (the other being the DPRK). Vietnam more or less follows the Chinese model which I would argue is a valid means of socialist construction but is more strictly speaking a form of state capitalism (as Lenin used the term).
