What's happening now
• Iran and Israel exchange strikes: Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles toward Israel, according to state media, in response to Israel’s unprecedented strikes. Each side has reported incoming fire in the hours since, with sirens sounding across Israel and Iran activating its own missile defenses early Saturday.

• Major blows to Iran: Israel targeted Iran’s nuclear program and military leaders with its first wave of strikes, which killed at least 78 people, according to Tehran. High-ranking figures, including the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and nuclear scientists are among the dead.

• What Netanyahu says: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who an Israeli official says is monitoring the strikes from a bunker, has vowed “more is on the way.” He previously said Israel’s operation against Iran could take several days.

• Trump’s warning: President Donald Trump told CNN that the US “of course” supports Israel in its actions. Trump warned Iran to agree to a nuclear deal “before there is nothing left.”

I've been here since 8chan. I will never be a zigger nor a capitalist nor a nationalist nor a bloodthirsty edgy boy. Now zionists are sending their bitch ass country to war and islamists in Iran are risking civil war if they conscript the anti-theocrats. I won't cheer for no state.

This is from the Worker-Communist Party in Iran

>In confronting this crisis of its survival, the Islamic Republic will try to militarize the political space as much as it can and, under the pretext of war conditions, make the situation of the Iranian people more difficult and unbearable than ever. On the other hand, any military reaction of the Islamic Republic against Israel can lead to a war of very destructive dimensions, including the risk of nuclear contamination. On the other hand, this war is being ignited by Netanyahu, who himself has his hands up to his elbows in the blood of the people of Gaza and has shown that he will not refrain from any crime for his goals. Therefore, Iranian society is facing the most dangerous and decisive moment in its history in recent decades.

>Criminals such as Salami, Shamkhani, Bagheri, Abbasi, and others who were killed in this attack have a bloody record of killing the Iranian people, attacking Flight PS-752, killing Mahsas, Nikas, Sarinas, and Kayans, and killing the people of Syria and the entire region. The killing of these criminals, along with the destruction of the military and nuclear centers of the Islamic Republic, has dealt a blow to the ruling murderers in Iran.

>The perpetrator of these attacks is the Israeli government, which itself has a long hand in killing the people of Gaza and the Palestinians; this is a war between two terrorist states, but the revolutionary and humane response to this war cannot be simply opposing the war of terrorists and being peace-loving and demanding an end to the war from a pacifist position. It must be attacked. It is the work of the Israeli people to determine the fate of Netanyahu's fascist government, and the overthrow of the Islamic Republic is an urgent matter for the Iranian people.

>The Islamic Republic should not be allowed to overshadow the protest atmosphere and the ongoing rallies and strikes of various sectors of society with war and war conditions. According to reports, the Islamic Republic has currently declared the governors to fire freely in response to the people's protest rallies. The people's response can only and must be to further attack the government in all areas.

Many countries, especially in western and northern Europe, had social democracy. Surely those workers with their increased wealth have all organized together to become socialist, right? They didn't get lazy and think their comfy position would last forever and so supported capitalism instead, right?

Social democracy is a bribe. Socialism in USSR and China was achieved with peasants.

Suppose Karl Marx had never been born. How would the modern world be different?

My best guess is highly optimistic. Without Marx, there would have been no prominent intellectual promoter of violent revolution for socialist dictatorship. There would still have been a big socialist movement, including many socialists dreaming of bloodbaths and tyranny. But the movement as a whole would have rapidly evolved into something like social democracy. Third World dictators would still have killed in the name of socialism. But there would have been no Soviet Union without Marx. And without the Soviet Union, there would be no fascist Italy and no Nazi Germany. A socialist dictatorship could still have come to China. But without the ghoulish example of Soviet agriculture, even a socialist China would have avoided major peacetime famine.

It’s clearly possible that an alternate, equally influential theoretician of violent revolution for socialist dictatorship would have arisen. But this seems unlikely. When historians of science try to weigh a scientist’s influence, they search for runner-ups – rival scientists waiting in the wings to make the same discovery. Challenge: If Marx had never lived, who exactly would have replaced him? In Germany, Marx’s top rival was Ferdinand Lassalle, a figure far more in tune with modern social democracy than Marx. On the global socialist scene, it’s hard to name any figure that compares with Marx. Who’s even in the running?

There’s really only one fact that tempers my optimism: The world with Marx has never had a nuclear war. Altering any major facet of history could plausibly reverse that happy outcome.

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.

Nothingeverhappeners are burned out of years where things looked like would happen but then nothing ever happened. Now they don't except anything to happen ever, even when things have just happened.

So SNS is now calling the students fascists and nazis. This is after they made a provocation where a group of SNS-aligned youths (the "Students 2.0") with their leader visited the biggest student dorm and got beer cans thrown at them.
They're calling that a "fascistic attack" and now they're pushing a slogan which translates to something like "It's better to be a ćaci than a nazi" (which is seemingly replacing their failed slogan "I'm a ćaci too") and they put a banner on the Nis fortress with that slogan and a swastika, which got a bunch of people mad (because it's not far from where a Nazi concentration camp was in WWII), and it got removed pretty fast by someone from some opposition party.
SNS realized their mistake with the swastika and they made a new banner with that slogan and a crossed-out swastika and put it in front of the Parliament in Belgrade (in the street SNS has been blocking with tents for weeks now) but that one didn't stay up for a long time either, because some opposition parliament members got mad and they cut off the banner with a knife, then they got in an argument with people from the SNS tents then they got arrested for wielding a knife as a weapon or something like that.

Not a Serb, but I can confirm this. I was walking around late at night in Beograd, and suddenly I saw a bunch of tents blocking a critical road intersection of the city, and a shitton of cops.
So I went to the supermarket that is still open at this time of the night, got some snacks and beer, and when I got out, I saw a bunch of people who looked like students, so I asked them what was going on, and they confirmed to me it was a teacher protest.
They told me the government passed a law or decree reducing the time spent on research by teachers from 50% to 5%, which means it limits their pay to 50€. While Beograd is a relatively cheap city by Western standards, this is an unliveable situation.
They told me the government passed this decree basically illegally or almost, it's a weird legal situation. I told them it's unsustainable for a country to stop doing scientific research, especially when Serbia is more or less known for having very good education, but it's basically a power play.
More importantly, they told me the teachers will stay there for as long as needed to get what they want. To me, this sounded kinda funny at first, but this is actually ballsy. The protest seemed rather peaceful, because in several other countries, they would have been kettled and suffocate in a cloud of tear gas. But then, during another day when I wanted to see a few buildings bombed by NATO (holy shit, can't describe how I felt when I saw this), I passed by the camp, and damn, it's hot as fuck in this country, and they were still there, and the camp was much larger than I initially thought. And when you have 5000 dinars for the month, well you better spend them well collectively. I think some students offered them food, mutual aid stuff.

The students confirmed another few things discussed in this thread: the use of a LRAD, the sketchy contract regarding the canopy in Novi Sad. And it's true that a couple of public squares were blocked with tents with almost no one in there, what a weird sight to behold. One in particular had barriers coated with some strange orange substance that is probably a kind of glue. A few people were hanging around in this one big park, but they had to pass a police check I believe.

I also saw students in front of an university building, but I didn't feel like asking them questions, cops were fucking everyPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Who was Paul Pawlowski?
>Paul Pawlowski (born 1926/1927) was a Polish-born immigrant, Hellenic polytheist and English republican who, from the late 1970s until his resignation in 1996, served as the leader and only member of the Republican Party of England and the English People’s Liberation Army (EPLA).

What was the EPLA?
<The EPLA originated as a split from the Maoist Working People's Party of England. The Army's ideology called for the independence of England from "Judeo-fascist" forces.
<According to the "Dictionary of Terrorism", it was "extremely weak" but had "undertaken isolated bomb attacks". In 1983, it claimed responsibility for a parcel bomb sent to the headquarters of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
<Barberis et al claim that the organisation may have had links to the Oliver Cromwell Republican Party, founded in 1977. This minor organisation, also led by Paul Pawlowski, later renamed the Republican Party of England, is best known for its leader's demonstration against the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981

The revolutionary career of Pawlowski, in his own words:
"In 1960s I read the Iliad in HMP Brixton.
Why! Thats polytheism – thats my religion i decided.
in 1970s I opened Temple of Aphrodite Pandemos in my one room in Tooting. Landlord told me to get out – evicted.
I moved to empty house in Charington Road squat.
There was Banner books shop nearby in Camden High street.
The shopwindow was Red with little red books bust of chairman Mao in the middle. Indian man Bijour was the shopkeeper.

>economic migration
do you know the difference between empathy and sympathy? as i have already expressed, i have empathy for economic migrants, but not sympathy. that is to say, i understand their position, but i cant support it. if they are caught, justice has inevitably caught up to them, like with any criminal. what is the alternative? supporting economic migration, which you apparently refuse to do, so you are overtaken by all sides.
>But those migrants are as much labour as the local population, there use in capital no different then the local population in the mechanisms of capital itself.
except that they will be more willing to accept lower wages, which is the plot of capital in its war against labour. did you see that trump is giving exception to low-paid migrants on farms in the US? the bourgeoisie actively support illegal immigration because it facilitates low wages, as a general trend - the same way marx and engels saw it in the 19th century.
>Is it pro-immigration when the various so called "pro-immigrant" parties of today use the same visa laws passed by "anti-immigrant" parties to string along immigrants and use their labour while under threat of deportation or expiration?
YES. that is the entire point of importing immigrants. to further exploit labour.
>Internationalism is both, as nations are not limited to states
what defines a nation, then?
>The standard of life in the West steadily increased at the time
in SPITE of its devaluation
>Wages will always be worth less in the long run with the falling rate of profit, and with general price increases
😂😂 this is how i know youre ignorant. the lowering of the value of commodities to marx is in direct proportion to the output of use-values (i.e. "wealth"), so a lower rate of profit means more wealth (or as adam smith says, the rate of profit is highest in poor countries and lowest in rich countries). profit is antithetical to the rate of wages, since it is an extraction from potential wages. also, what trend makes prices go up except a greater rate of profit from a lower rate of production? you are describing opposite trends. a lower value means a lower price.

let’s say, hypothetically, there was a particularly motivated man. he does not have much of a stomach for theory, as ridiculous as that might sound to all of you here. what if, hypothetically, his concern was action. with finding well-read individuals who may need help bringing theory to life.

let’s also say, hypothetically, that he was concerned primarily with seeking out early “revolutionary” movements and lending a hand in any way he could.

this “hypothetical” character is american, white, and armed. he is aware of these privileges and is willing to weaponize them against the System in order to further the Cause. he is willing to travel anywhere in the country and shack up with any worthy individual he might come across.

he is not a child. he’s in his late twenties. he is from one of the poorest areas in the country. he is angry. he wants to change things. he does not want a career, or a family. he wants to fight for something. he is definitely a little nuts. par for the course with this sort of thing.

if you were him - where do you go? who do you speak to? what do you do?

Trying to put together a reading list for Queer Socialist Theory/ Trans Liberation.
While we agree that LGBTQ people should be free to live their lives under socialism, unfortunately this hasn't been the case for all socialist govs.
Past reactionary behaviours/ policies have also emerged in certain so-called Socialist orgs like the ACP who use the USSRs past homophobia to justify their bigotry.
As a result, I think it's important that we assemble resources to ensure that future/ existing parties, platforms and orgs don't repeat the same mistakes.

Any recs?

Quotes and examples of pro-LGBTQ policies in Socialist Govs are also welcome.

And no, labelling the same structure with different words doesnt make it different.
I can see that some independent farmer, artisan, industrial cooperative or family company (operated by an actual family) escapes this structure. In all the common isms you have at least two classes of people, one exploits, one is being exploited.
technological changes do not change this structure. The use or not of money does not change this structure. The possibility of individual persons changing their social position (i.e slaves gaining freedom or rich people losing their money) doesnt change the structure.

<read the first chapter of the german ideology. read marx's letter to annenekov. read the poverty of philosophy.
'bosses' haven't always existed. 'jobs' haven't always existend. 'organizations' are not pretty much the same anyways, and 'elites' bossing over 'non-elites' is a phrase empty of any kind of history. read. read. read.

>>2322603
>money and wage work etc makes capitalism different from other ways of production.
How?
If money did not exist, would work not exist?
If money did not exist, would elite peoples not boss over non-elites?
If money did not exist, would production not exist?
If i was an alien with no concept of money and i looked at human societies at any time in history, i would just see a lot of people working, a small group of people not working and receiving a ton of goods and services from the working people, and the non-working people giving commands to the working people. Seems like an universal structure to me
>>2322608
>'jobs' haven't always existend
A person doing the bidding and following the orders of another person is essentially doing a job, i.e "has a job".
>bosses have not always existed
Not among hunter-gatherers, independent artisants and other such peoples. But within the four "systems" i mentioned (capitalis, communism, feudalism and slavety) there are bosses and people being bossed.

>This is entirely compatible with my diagram.
imagine if I just made a circle that said "people" and when confronted with any theory about society I just said "well, my graphic that just says 'people' already includes all of that so your theory is either incorrect or just a subset of what I said"

what your graph describes is the concept of surplus value: a person only needs X amount of things to live, but through their work they can produce Y (where Y > X); then there is surplus value (P) defined as Y - X = P; and now you have that this person, because P exists, can be exploited, even by themselves. all societies since the neolithic have had surplus value, the difference is in how it is produced and then distributed within society

I don't think you understand what communism means. the socialist countries like the ussr do not fit into your graphic because the "elite" (the governing bureaucrats) didn't take surplus value from the workers, they had a salary that in some cases could be higher than that of the regular worker but they were still, at most, 2 or 3 times richer than the regular person

under capitalism you have people whose net worth is millions of times more than the average. this is because their income (the share of surplus value they appropriate) comes from their ownership of capital, to put it simply, let T be the units of time, I the interest for that unit of time and C the amount of capital, their wealth could be define as f(T) = C * I^T which is an exponential function. meanwhile the workers that simply exchange their labor for a wage (W) will have something like g(T) = W*T which is linear and becomes increasingly smaller compared to the other function as T increases

I'm reporting your post for being low quality bait btw

We need to fight back in optics so that we stand together.

The media is really focusing on Latin American flags, and desperately are trying to cut off as many American flags from TV broadcast.

Remember this month is Pride! And we must stand for the rights of all people/sibblings from all backgrounds.

Comrades, we need a thread on privacy. Any decent activist should try ways of staying anonymous on the web and prevent being tracked by governments and corporations.General tips===* Use free software as much as you can.* Use GNU/Linux and keep it up-to-date, to be sure that you don't have unpatched security exploits* Don't use Flash Player, use youtube-dl instead for watching streaming videos online* Do not use Google, use DuckDuckGo or StartPage instead* Use a password manager like Keepass or for GNU/Linux users keepassx. Create new passwords for every site that you visit and use a strong password as a master password. A tip for easy remembering of your master password is to use a sentence. "i fucking love cookies and tits!" with extra capital characters etc. is easier to remember than some random characters and long enough to prevent brute force attacks of any kind.* Use the Tor Browser Bundle if you really want to stay anonymous.Firefox====* Go to Preferences -> History and set History to "Never remember history". * See for additional tweaks: https://github.com/amq/firefox-debloat and https://vikingvpn.com/cybersecurity-wiki/browser-security/guide-hardening-mozilla-firefox-for-privacy-and-securityAdd-ons-----------* Use uBlock Origin for preventing tracking etc. Bonus: use hard-mode to manually whitelist external domains on sites. Don't use uBlock but be sure to use uBlock Origin https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode* HTTPS Everywhere* DecentralEyes: prevents CDN hosting from tracking you (Google for Jquery etc.)* Self Destructing Cookies: only allow cookies that you choose to allowOS==* Encrypt your hard drive or home partition at least* If you use GNU/Linux, you can try to restrict systemd or syslog from logging. * Use a distribution which takes security seriously.

The question is: What is your privacy goal? Because real, total privacy is in our age a meme. As soon as you connect your device with the internet, you are toast. If you are into total privacy, you also must get a zero trust mindset, you have to assume, that EVRYTHING is compromised. So the best thing you do, is to stay away from computerter technology as far as possible.

The more usual privacy route is, what 99% of privacy enthusists actually do is: harm reduction. Trying to minimize your digital footprint as much as possible. This is the only thing you can do and it is worth to do it. Privacy is not all or nothing.

Was using DeepSeek for this some if you end your question with "using only quotes by author from a reputable source" such as "Lenin" from "marxists.org" it did a descent job from an uninformed perspective.

Been thinking a bit more about how to get a square matrix.

Suppose there are several recipes with physical units for making the same output.

First thinking without joint production: For each of the inputs, we note the lowest number among these recipes (might well be zero). Now we only have one pseudo-recipe for the output. We call the result the optimist's physical matrix. For each of the inputs, we note the highest number among these recipes. Now we only have one pseudo-recipe for the output. We call the result the pessimist's physical matrix.

Now to joint production: Perhaps this is easier to communicate when talking about this "financially". The products coming out of a joint process have to justify their production cost together. That means their sum of prices must yield a certain amount together, but this can be split between these products in any way as long as the amount they have to make together is met. We can think in extremes: The price may be entirely covered by one of the joint outputs with the other outputs being free. Only one of the outputs being entirely "responsible" for the physical joint process is then used for the pessimistic look at this output; and assuming another output takes full responsibility makes this output look like coming out of nothing.

With this procedure we get two matrix things and both are square ones.

Empirical square matrix:

Multiple recipes for making the same output are used in one empirically observed proportion. That's just one big empirical recipe.

Joint production: The products fetch prices. The price×quantity of each of these is used to account for each input of the joint recipe between these products in exactly these proportions.

you could also send the vouchers towards an artistic endeavor you enjoy without wanting anything specific in return (given most art would be freely reproducible). Hoarding your vouchers shouldnt be encouraged, the whole point is that the production correspond to people wants and needs, and you need people to spend them for that.

Remember Dissent on Mars? The game was mentioned in a 2023 thread as being in development: https://archive.ph/Afx5a The game is out now and there is an INDEP vid about it on Youtube (and an extremely negative review by MiAh The King).

Not really, that's more of a limitation of Deltarune's items than anything else. If items did stuff like give you a smaller hurtbox or change how fast the heart moves, or fuck if i know, let you loop around the box arena it would go a long way towards making the RPG aspect more interesting. But the gameplay is less planned around a central set of mechanics and more around giving you some cool new shit to do every fight so i imagine that's why Toby adds shit like (Ch.4 secret content) a fight that you control via screaming into the microphone instead of interesting equips that probably would need a fair bit of playtesting each.
Also enemies have a really simple and easy flowchart to sparing them which doesn't really help and makes regular encounters pretty boring.

Even most CAVE games have a strong bookends. ESP.RA.DE. especially.

Dunno if the anti-CAVE anon is still around, but I'm sure he'll have a load of horzies for you to enjoy.

I find it interesting that people are both claim the combat being boring (which I agree with), and the fight at the end of chapter 3 being unfun. That last one is the only moment I enjoyed the game (almost) without reservation. Granted, I didn't need 20 retries.
I would claim that Deltarune is boring exactly because the combat - the patterns - are uninspired and shit. Have thought this since chapter 1, and in many ways it has gotten worse (chapter 4 might as well be auto-play for how easy they are). Undertale had easy patterns too, but at least they were textually interesting. That is sorely lacking in almost all Deltarune fights.

If you’re going to any one of the No Kings protests tomorrow PLEASE bring Iranian and/or Palestinian flags, not just to trigger the libs but to show solidarity with the most important anti-imperialist resistance movement of our day.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is currently liberating the world from the chokehold of imperialism, Zionism and all evils that grow from them. Our oppression that we face in America can only cease when the IRI liberated the Middle East and enables a wave of anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist movements to spring from it.

So PLEASE bring Iranian flags to tomorrow’s protests out of solidarity.

>Now its "Pyongyang is legitimately decent/good living but its only for the 10-15% of pop. that are 'elites'; The rest of the country is still semi-starving."
Holy shit I noticed that change in tone too.
<Yeah, sure they build modern housing and high rises so people can live in them but have you considered elevators not working represents class society 🤓

In June 2000 a historic north-south summit meeting was held in Pyongyang.

When the agreement on the joint declaration was announced, everyone present at the banquet was jubilant as if reunification itself had been realized.

Pointing to a picture on the wall opposite the table of honour, Chairman Kim Jong Il asked the guests from south Korea whether the picture depicted a morning glow or an evening glow.

After racking his brain for the answer, a south Korean minister eventually responded: It portrays a rising sun, symbolic of the bright future of the Korean nation.

The guests present there all nodded at his answer.

Unexpectedly, however, the Chairman shook his head and said that the glow in the picture was both a sunrise and a sunset.

His answer was so simple and yet correct that they could only admire him. They realized what he said was too significant to be a mere witty humorous remark–every judgement depends on one’s viewpoint, and the success of every undertaking is decided by one’s resolve.

If all the fellow countrymen were united in one mind under the banner of the declaration, the future of the nation would be as bright as the rosy, rising sun. On the contrary, the prospects for national reunification would be as murky as the evening if the declaration was not implemented, just remaining as a mere sheet of paper.
