/Iran/ - Iran War Thread #73

R: 419 / I: 50

Neocon Iraq War criminals

Why is it that the surviving members of the George W. Bush administration who acted as the architects of the Iraq War have never faced any legal penalties for what they did?

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????

The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough. These people have names and addresses and have to face some kind of legal penalties so the world can finally have closure and the Neocon war criminals can finally reap what they sowed.

>Bye, bye, Microsoft! – edition
https://www.zdnet.com/article/china-drops-windows-for-linux/

The Chinese question is: how does a comfy non-imperialist nation transform itself into a global socialist model that can be reproduced and adopted by the rest of the world, without either reproducing the aggressive and counter-productive policies of the USSR or appearing toothless, while resolving the contradictions of the so-called first world FOR THEM and liberating them from capitalist domination, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

Peter Frase – Four Futures; Life After Capitalism

In the book Four Futures; Life After Capitalism, Peter Frase maps out the materialist trajectory of post-capitalism and demonstrates that the end of wage labor is more likely to just kill us than to liberate us.

Capitalisms collapse is guaranteed by automation and climate crisis but the outcome depends on a 2x2 matrix of ecological limits (abundance vs scarcity) and class power (equality vs hierarchy).

Communism (Abundance + Equality)
<The post-scarcity endgame. Wage labor is dead. But Frase correctly points out this doesnt end politics; it just shifts human conflict away from material survival and onto immaterial hierarchies like status, reputation, and social capital.

Socialism (Scarcity + Equality)
<The only historically viable socialist project right now. Not a post-work utopia but democratic, centralized economic planning, and massive state-directed labor to survive the climate bottleneck. Its shared sacrifice and ecological reconstruction, not infinite consumerism.

Rentism (Abundance + Hierarchy)
<Automation solves material production but the bourgeoisie preserves its class dominance by pivoting entirely to artificial scarcity. Capital accumulation is replaced by rent extraction. Once physical commodity production is fully automated, the ruling class simply monopolizes the underlying data, algorithms, and IP. You are no longer exploited for surplus value on a factory floor; you are bled dry by access fees and licensing just so you can exist.

Exterminism (Scarcity + Hierarchy)
<This is the most critical analytical blind spot on the Left. Under capitalism, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat have an antagonistic but symbiotic relationship. They actually need workers to produce value. But when mass automation makes the global working class economically obsolete and climate collapse restricts resource availability, that dependency ends. You are no longer an exploitable asset; you are a surplus population consuming scarce resources. The militarization of borders, local police, and autonomous drone warfare isn't just standard imperialism, it is the logistical beta-test for managing and eventually eliminating an obsolete lumpen-proletariat.

The Left is still trying to organize around withholding labor (strikes, unions) in a world where capital is actively transforming into a productive apparatus that does not require labor at all. Revolutionary warfare is not any better when automated drone swarms can depopulate entire countries and AI-surveillance prevents revolutions before they happen. Its literally over.

One person controls the single global signing key.

Every update pushed to 400000 devices is signed by Daniel Micay. He already proved in 2018 he will destroy signing keys and brick thousands of users devices on purpose when he feels wronged. That same key can push any code, silently, automatically, to any phone, at any time. verified boot guarantees the device will accept it.

Katyn stuff

Why was Warsaw's destruction not declared a Nazi war crime by Nuremberg? Was it actually destroyed by Soviets? There was no Warsaw destruction listed in court sentence anywhere, despite Poles putting loads of documents for the court to consider, just like Soviets did with Katyn, but were repelled by the court.

Was Stalin responsible for Warsaw destruction the same way he lost Katyn case in Nuremberg?

Dachau and Buchenwald aren't mentioned in the sentencing either, weirdly enough. Auschwitz had an episode of women getting neutered in indictment, but no mention of it in the sentencing. Were the Soviets responsible for all of those, I wonder? Judging by how it is claimed that since Katyn is missing in the sentencing, it means that court refused the accusation

>True, the capitalist must also be there, must also live and consume to be able to perform the function of a capitalist. To this end, he has, indeed, to consume only as much as the labourer, and that is all this form of the circulation process presupposes. But even this is not formally expressed, since the formula concludes with M', i.e., a result which can at once resume its function as money-capital, now augmented.

>C' — M' directly contains the sale of C'; but C' — M', a sale on the one part, is M — C, a purchase, on the other part, and in the last analysis a commodity is bought only for its use-value, in order to enter (leaving intermediate sales out of consideration) the process of consumption, whether this is individual or productive, according to the nature of the article bought. But this consumption does not enter the circuit of individual capital, the product of which is C'. This product is eliminated from the circuit precisely because it is a commodity for sale. C' is expressly designed for consumption by others than the producer. Thus we find that certain exponents of the mercantile system (which is based on the formula M — C … P … C' — M') deliver lengthy sermons to the effect that the individual capitalist should consume only as much as the labourer, that the nation of capitalists should leave the consumption of their own commodities, and the consumption process in general, to the other, less intelligent nations but that they themselves should make productive consumption their life’s task. These sermons frequently remind one in form and content of analogous ascetic expostulations of the fathers of the church.

It seems Marx is not promoting Dengism but rather attacking those that support "sound money" fiscal conservatives. This line stands out:
>individual capitalist should consume only as much as the labourer, that the nation of capitalists should leave the consumption of their own commodities, and the consumption process in general, to the other, less intelligent nations but that they themselves should make productive consumption their life’s task.
<That is foreign countries can live above their means while we must be autarkic
>These sermons frequently remind one in form and content of analogous ascetic expostulations of the fathers of the church
<Greed is bad, live within your means

Tldr Marx did not promoting Dengism, he was attacking Blue Dog democrats.
This begs the question, is there any definitive Marxist statement that unapologetically promotes Dengism?

>Leninist doctrine holds that a vanguard Party should assume state power and drive the population to economic development, and, by some miracle that is unexplained, to freedom and justice. It is an ideology that naturally appeals greatly to the radical intelligentsia, to whom it affords a justification for their role as state managers. I can’t see any reason — either in logic or history — to take it seriously. Libertarian socialism (including a substantial mainstream of Marxism) dismissed all of this with contempt, quite rightly.

Alternative treatments for gender dysphoria

Are there any methods other than HRT? I still don't fit into either the male or female category (my thread is a couple of threads down). And being trans these days is suicide; I don't think it's worth it.
So, back to the topic.
>Conversion therapy
Obviously it doesn't work, just like therapy in general, a synonym for the words cope and rep.
>Other
There's nothing, just a theory. In theory, you could identify (your) neurobiological markers associated with transgenderism and try to correct them with TMS or something similar.

High fuel prices challenge the German government
Drivers are angry. While it's possible to use public transportation in large cities, residents of rural areas have hardly any realistic alternative to driving. Those living in regions near national borders have an advantage. On September 7, filling up a 60-liter tank with E10 gasoline cost about €31 less in the Czech Republic and Poland than in Germany. In Luxembourg, the difference was €28, and in Austria, €25. These figures were calculated by the Federal Statistical Office.

From defending students’ rights to an ‘informal chat’ with the Security Service of Ukraine – all it takes is one protest: What is happening to Priama Diia?
At the heart of this story is a broader conflict that extends well beyond a single criminal case. Priama Diia openly identifies as a left-wing union. Meanwhile, its opponents label the activists “communists” and “radical leftists”, questioning their support for Ukraine. The organisation’s members believe these labels offer a convenient way to discredit their work. They also view a series of encounters with law enforcement officers in different cities as a broader pattern of pressure. The Human Rights Centre ZMINA has previously documented some of these incidents.

George Galloway to Stand in Byelection in Attempt to Defeat Green Leader
George Galloway has signalled his intention to come out of self-imposed exile in Russia in order to oppose Green leader Zack Polanski in the byelection for Keir Starmer’s former seat. … Galloway framed his candidacy as a direct challenge to Polanski. Speaking on his talk show, Galloway cited Polanki’s support for Ukraine and his position on trans rights among the reasons he would oppose him. Later in the show, Galloway said he supports Russia’s war on Ukraine as part of “a wider anti-imperialist, anti-colonialist framework”.

Mali’s Tuareg separatists seek Turkey talks, reveal Russian contact
Ramadane insisted that northeastern Mali, the region the separatists want for an independent state they call Azawad, should not become an arena for a proxy war between foreign powers. Yet, he added, that should not prevent the FLA from seeking engagement with Turkey, which has deepened its diplomatic, economic and military ties with Bamako over the past decade. Ankara has sold armed drones and other equipment to Mali’s military government since 2023, while bilateral trade has tripled over the past decade.

Is Saudi Arabia recruiting Syrian fighters to fight the Houthis?
Lebanon's Al-Akhbar reported this week that hundreds of Syrian fighters had recently arrived in southern Saudi Arabia, including men who took part in the "Deterrence of Aggression" offensive that toppled Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. The report comes as Saudi Arabia faces renewed pressure from the Houthis, who have made significant territorial advances in Yemen and launched attacks on Saudi territory.

The law laying down conditions that an animal must meet before it can be slaughtered is not new, but its enforcement has become stringent only now after the BJP came to power in the state.

Buddhism doesn't get enough flack

Buddhism is fucking predatory as shit, only saved by the fact that its buzzwords are parroted around. Seems like it was rightfully criticized since early Hinduism until the 1900s where it got syncretized because of opportunism. Really don't believe it's compatible with socialism, especially with it's buzzwords like "mindfullness" and "manifestation" becoming commonplace.
15th century monk
>He was known for his crazy methods of enlightening other beings, mostly women, which earned him the title "The Saint of 5,000 Women". Among other things, women would seek his blessing in the form of sexual intercourse.
>He is credited with introducing the practice of phallus paintings in Bhutan and placing statues of them on rooftops to drive away evil spirits. He is also known for Chimi Lhakhang, the temple of fertility.
20th century monk
>He drank, smoked, slept with students, and often kept students waiting for hours before giving teachings.
>Some of his own methods and actions, particularly his heavy drinking, sexual predation, and his ordering of the sexual assault (forced stripping) of a student and his girlfriend, caused controversy during his lifetime and afterward.
>Trungpa often combined drinking with teaching. In some instances Trungpa was too drunk to walk and had to be carried. Also, according to his student John Steinbeck IV and his wife, on a couple of occasions Trungpa's speech was unintelligible. One woman reported serving him "big glasses of gin first thing in the morning."
>The Steinbecks wrote The Other Side of Eden, a sharply critical memoir of their lives with Trungpa in which they claim that, in addition to alcohol, he spent $40,000 a year on cocaine, and used Seconal to come down from the cocaine. The Steinbecks said the cocaine use was kept secret from the wider Vajradhatu community.
>19th century monk
>Other behavior was troubling as well. As one scholar who has studied the community noted, Tendzin was "bisexual and known to be very promiscuous" and "enjoyed seducing straight men" but the community "did not find [this behavior] particularly troublesome." Not all his partners were unwilling; one scholar noted "it became a mark of prestige for a man, gay or straight, to have sex with the Regent, just as it had been for a woman to have sex with [Trungpa] Rinpoche", but at least one student reported that Tendzin had raped him. As a former Vajradhatu member attested, "a chilling story had recently been reported by one of … [the] teachers at the Buddhist private school [for the Vajradhatu community]. This straight, married male was pinned face-down across Rich's desk by the guards [the Dorje Kasung] while Rich forcibly raped him."
>It was revealed in 1989 that Tendzin had contracted HIV and for nearly three years knew it, yet continued to have unprotected sex with his students without informing them. He transmitted it to a student who later died of AIDS. Others close to Tendzin, including Vajradhatu's board of directors, knew for two years that Tendzin was HIV-positive and sexually active but kept silent.
Apparently early Hinduism had criticized Buddhism for it's weird practices too.
>In turn, Hindu theologians like Adi Śaṅkara, Kumārila Bhaṭṭa and various Nyaya school philosophers (like Vātsāyana) likewise critiqued Buddhist thought in their various works. Śaṅkara accuses the Buddha of being "a man given to make incoherent assertions" and "propound absurd doctrines."
A play criticizing heterodox Hindu sects and Buddhist sects that were becoming common back in the 800s
>It is widely held that Mahendra’s play is a satire of the degenerate sects of his day. For example, both the Kapalika and Pasupata sects must have been considered peculiar during Mahendra’s reign, and the king satirizes them in his play. The Kapalikas embodied a serious, yet suspect, religious concept: Tantrism where religious enlightenment is attained through unorthodox rituals. Some of these notorious rituals were Madya (liquor) and Maithuna (ritual intercourse). Meanwhile, these rituals are satirically echoed by Nagasena, the Buddhist monk, who wonders why Buddhism disallows liquor and women.
A 12th century criticism from a book cataloguing Kashmiri history
>The monasteries became rich with the gifts of kings and nobles, and the guardians of these establishments ceased to observe their discipline. They became attached to comfort and luxury.
Observations of Jesuits on Buddhists in China
>This suspicion was deepened by the Confucian moralists’ opinion that Buddhist monks did not duly respect gender segregation. Buddhist clerics often encouraged female lay devotees to leave their secluded apartments to visit their temples or go on pilgrimages. They also visited the women in their private quarters to expound the sutras to them and edify them with religious talks. These transgressions of Confucian gender boundaries were interpreted by literati as a sign of moral inferiority and thus contributed to the monks’ bad reputation.
Criticism of Buddhists in Korea
>In 1479, Censor General Sŏng Hyŏn (1439–1504) listed four Buddhist monks who had committed lustful behavior or committed fornication with lay women under the guise of prayer rituals and argued that women should be banned from contact with Buddhist monks. The women, whom Sŏng mentioned, included the concubine of a yangban man, the wife of a high official, nuns, the sister of a yangban man, and even the wife of a man belonging to the royal lineage. The female body was the locus of anti-Buddhist criticism that rendered Buddhist ritual activities immoral and incompatible with Confucian values.
>The wrangling over immoral rituals on Mount Kŭmsŏng between King Sŏngjong and the court officials continued. In 1487, the officials again warned that “on Mount Kŭmsŏng, in addition to an official prayer hall set up for the government’s ritual worship, there are five or six more private halls, and a crowd of yangban women from nearby villages gather around and stay [there], so [some men] even lose their wives”.

if a country imports more than it exports, it is imperialist.

if a country exports more than it imports, it may or may not be imperialist, depending on whether it maintains trade relations with countries that have a higher export-to-imports ratio than it does.

By my calculations, Turkmenistan is the least imperialist country on Earth, because its exports-to-imports ratio is higher than any other country. It produces for others far more than it imports.

China is less imperialist than great Britain, but more imperialist than Turkmenistan. China exports more than it imports, but relies on cheap petroleum imports from Turkmenistan.

>SDF chief Mazloum Abdi says that the integration of Kurdish-led forces into the Syrian state is complete, adding that "our struggle will continue to guarantee the rights of the Kurdish people in the Syrian constitution" "The phase of integrating the military, security and administrative institutions into the state institutions has ended, and from today onward, a new phase has begun,” he said, calling on the people of the region to protect the "institutions established through the sacrifices of martyrs, and to support and preserve them."

I miss MMOs

I feel like we need to discuss why MMOs as a genre were never good, but how they were also fucking amazing. This is all due to when MMOs became a thing.
Most if not all MMOs people actually care about were from the early 2000s. They were all pushing the boundaries of capitalism over video games with either a subscription or whatever the hell is wrong with the korean industry, but, and I must stress this, but…they came out during the ONLY MOMENT they would've been successful.
They were social spaces, social WORLDS in fact, they were by definition larping sims. In an era where that was still a new thing. From 2003-2012, MMOs had THIS as their main wow factor. This is also their only staying power in media ABOUT video games, their sense of community and ability to break barriers…of course, all those external pieces of media also made it about how MMO players were losers, but nontheless, that was why they became a genre.
After social media became a permanent staple of human life, MMOs had practically no point anymore. Most of them were already garbage gameplay wise. This is why we all want classic wow, or classic maple, or the return of wonderking (which, by the way, looks like actual garbage, to my dismay).
We didn't "grow out" of MMOs, that is what idiots with no argument say to shut you up, the WORLD outgrew MMOs, and sadly, we have been conditioned to not be impressed or enamoured.
>what the fuck are you saying OP??
I'm saying what I mean, anon. Maybe I was groomed by this industry to endure capitalism, but DAMN IT, there was a time talking to someone as your personal chibi avatar was cool and FUN! Now it's a fucking bore, I cannot understand why anyone would play an MMO in 2025, almost all of them are bad wow clones.

Cuba is gonna be invaded

This isn't a joke or anything
Cuba is gonna be invaded by the US by next month, and I don't have much hope in the Cuban armed forces alone.

Either an armed resistance needs to be established in the United States or international voluteers need to be formed for Cuba, either by the Cuban goverment or some communist org (PSL, RCI, etc).

How do we promote Liberation Theology given that zoomers are overwhelmingly becoming TradCaths?

“Trad” Catholicism is at its root fascist and reactionary, yet zoomers (like myself) see beauty in the Catholic Church and are flocking to it en masse. We, as the left, need to be the ones to catch hold of this and steer it in our direction before the right gets a monopoly on Catholicism. We need to promote Liberation Theology and the teachings of the Catholic Worker Mivenent (Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day). Thomism is very, very anarchist and we should start there.

Psyop anti-Argentina

Hay una psyop masiva para generar odio contra argentina y justificar una posible intervención o lento takeover del país y sus recursos.

Por medio del mundial estan pintando al pais como una potencia sionista corrupta y despreciable. Estan habiendo demasiadas decisiones y doble vara arbitral que es dificil que sean todas coincidencia. Hay alguien interesado en generar toda esta dinamica, quiza para devolverle un favor a alguien y de paso indirectamente arrastrar polemica pero mejor no digo más. Despues del partido contra Egipto cualquier tipo de simpatia entre el pueblo que pudiera tener argentina en medio oriente y muchas partes del mundo directamente se evaporó.
Y por otro lado, llevan años queriendo pintar al pais como un pais racista, colonialista y hasta settler-imperialista por no tener negros en su seleccion o por sesgos historicos terribles que los anglosajones liberales y progres se tragan como bobos.

>“The age of Willkommenskultur is over, the era of mass deportations has begun,” commented the Sweden Democrats party, whose MEP Charlie Weimers played a central role as ECR’s shadow rapporteur.
>In a rare show of unity on the European Right, the directive was adopted not only by the national conservative groups (PfE, ECR, and ESN) but also the EPP, which votes together with the leftist parties in the vast majority of cases.
>Most importantly, the new law will introduce a mutual recognition and enforcement obligation between member states regarding deportation orders, meaning migrants cannot circumvent return decisions by moving to a different EU country and restarting the process. A return order in one country will legally count as a valid order in all of them.
>Another important point is the introduction of third-country return hubs, making it possible for member states to externalize return procedures by sending migrants to secure facilities outside EU territory to wait for the end of the process, ensuring they won’t escape implementation once the paperwork’s done.

The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people.

Genuine question. Why do left-wing anti-imperialists in general celebrate 10/7, but condemn 9/11? If you read some of what Yahya Sinwar has said, his reasoning was very similar to OBL's. Big attack meant to ignite a wider war, break the status quo of arab states' collaboration with the occupiers and make the world turn against the US (for OBL) and Israel (for Sinwar).

(On the last point, OBL genuinely thought 9/11 would get Americans to turn against their government like with Vietnam which is laughable. Yahya Sinwar was at least correct that 10/7 slowed arab normalization with Israel and severely damaged its reputation worldwide.)

Engels was WRONG on Housing

It's time someone said it: Engels was dead wrong in "on the housing question", especially in a US context.

<During the 1870s, a major polemical debate unfolded in Germany’s worker/democratic press on the shortage of housing available to workers in major industrial centres. The influx and increase of the proletariat created a housing crisis. On June 26 1872, Engels contributed the first of a series of articles to the Volksstaat, entitled “The Housing Question.” The last appeared on February 22 1873. Engels’ central point was that the revolutionary class policy of the proletariat cannot be replaced by a policy of reforms, because "it is not that the solution of the housing question simultaneously solves the social question, but that only by the solution of the social question, that is, by the abolition of the capitalist mode of production, is the solution of the housing question made possible." The series criticizes Proudhonism (and petty-bourgeois socialism in general, including Lassalleanism). It also discusses things like the nature of the State, the dictatorship of the proletariat, the eradication of the antithesis between town and country, the solution of the agrarian problem, forms of the socialist reconstruction of society and the tasks of the proletarian party.

Engels argued against other socialists like Proudhon and Emil Sax who argued that widespread working class home ownership was the solution to the housing crisis. Engels actually classified Sax's scheme as "bourgeois socialism" because it aimed state intervention at ameliorating class consciousness without altering overall class relations that much, by "bourgeois-fying" the proletariat through home ownership.

Engels denies that workers even want land and also thinks that if workers owned houses the bourgeoisie will just lower their wages by the amount of the rent they no longer have to pay.

In his haste to prove these non revolutionary class reconciliation schemes can't work and only socialist revolution can actually resolve the contradictions of housing under capitalism. Perhaps that it true in the long run, but that may be centuries. Engels concedes, essentially, that working class homeowners, while not capitalist, are also non proletarian:

>Capital is the command over the unpaid labor of others. The house of the worker can only become capital therefore if he rents it to a third person and appropriates a part of the labor product of this third person in the form of rent. By the fact that the worker lives in it himself the house is prevented from becoming capital, just as a coat ceases to be capital the moment I buy it from the tailor and put it on. The worker who owns a little house to the value of a thousand talers is certainly no longer a proletarian, but one must be Dr. Sax to call him a capitalist.

Engels, with all due respect, was wrong. Yes, it is true that workers who own their homes are not capitalists (unless they become landlords), but it is equally telling that Engels does not address the fact that workers can and frequently do sell their houses at an enormous markup from the price at which they bought them. It is this mechanism that allows them to realize the surplus value expropriated in exchange through ground rent. While the house itself may be a normal commodity, the land underneath it, is not.

Engel’s example of a coat does not apply to land or a house of land (“a coat ceases to be capital the moment I buy it from the tailor and put it on”). Yes, that is because a coat does not typically appreciate in value and get resold. A coat has no future income stream while a plot of land does (expected cash flow from ground-rent). While land produces no value it does enter a circuit of capital, specifically fictitious capital, the term Marx uses for things like stocks, bonds, and land titles. Fictitious capital creates no new value at all in the transaction itself; the gain is a redistribution of already-existing social surplus value toward whoever holds the title when the capitalized rent happens to rise, funneled through rising expected future rents. That's precisely why aggregate "housing wealth" is close to zero-sum across society even though it feels like wealth creation to any individual seller: your gain is the next buyer's higher future cost of access, not a net addition to social product.

Engels doesn't name this class but I think it is most accurate to call it petit-rentier, or possibly something akin to a new gentry class. Essentially homeownership allows this class, either upon realizing the home price gains by selling the house or even through something like a home equity line of credit, to appropriate part of the total surplus value of society through this mechanism described above.

This is why home ownership is known to have an economic conservatizing effect, turning homeowners into single issue voters based on preserving the price of their home and/or increasing it. This is the origin of the stereotypical suburban NIMBY.

If this is true, the majority of citizens of western, especially English speaking nations are not proletarian, but not for the reason third worldists think.

In the US for example depending on how one defines it, somewhere between 52% and 65% of the population consists of homeowners (the latter number counts people who are members of homeowning household, even if not the homeowner themselves), which means even in the conservative case half the population has a reason to be reactionary which is hardly the basis for a mass movement, and in the worst case, around 2/3rds of the population isn't even proletarian.

Let's talk about "bourgeois socialism":

<The Marxist view is such that the bourgeois socialist is the sustainer of the state of bourgeois class relations. In The Principles of Communism, Friedrich Engels describes them as "so-called socialists" who only seek to remove the evils inherent in capitalist society while maintaining the existing society often relying on methods, such as welfare systems and grandiose claims of social reform. Opinions vary as to whether if bourgeois socialist is actively protecting or intentionally excusing the current order, but the common thread is that they are in objective fact preserving it. Rather than abolishing social class divisions, they wish to simply raise everyone up to be a member of the bourgeoisie to allow everyone the ability to endlessly accumulate capital without a working class.

I've reached a conclusion that is as disturbing to orthodox Marxists as it is to right wingers; which is that the United States is ALREADY SOCIALIST. That is to say by Engelsian standards it has been successfully practicing a form of bourgeois socialism at least since the new deal if not even sooner, and in fact the United States and other countries went far, far further in terms of state intervention than men like Emil Sax ever envisioned.

>Sax's proposal, in its own terms: private savings-and-loan-style building societies letting individual workers purchase homes through installment/deferred payment, financed by workers' own accumulated savings and modest capital, not government funds. Its stated political purpose, per Sax's own words that Engels quoted specifically to expose it, was to bind workers to the soil and defuse the dangerous confusion of ideas and proletarian bitterness threatening the social order. Privately financed, operating on existing urban land within existing city limits.

The new deal era US took something very similar and backed it with state power by creating a federal housing administration that backed loans made by private banks, and also heavily subsidized highway (and other) infrastructure to make these far flung suburbs made of detached single family homes accessible by automobile.

The 19th century homesteader fufilling Jeffreson's ideal of the yeoman farmer was only possible after the land was cleared of the natives by the military and gifted by the federal government 40 acres at a time. But the myth of the individualist settler winning the west persisted because that intervention was largely invisible and it appeared that success or failure was up to the individual settler or family's ability to farm a small plot of land.

Similarly there is a genius of the federal subsidization of suburbia, without which large swathes of the population would never be able to live in large detached single family homes as the level of property tax to support transportation, etc. infrastructure to support this would be unimaginably high. To be self sustaining without federal support, property taxes would likely have to raise 30-40% even just to maintain current suburbs let alone build greenfield ones, and other estimates are far, far, far higher.

But to the individual mcmansion owner it appears that their quality of life is entirely their own doing or due to simple market forces causing their houses to appreciate in value. The state driven origins of their prosperity are laundered, unlike social welfare which is clearly perceived as direct transfer payments. What market oriented YIMBYs get wrong is not that this is a form of state intervention into capitalism that is "inefficient" by neoliberal standards, but that without this, towns and cities without 1920s levels of density would either have to densify or fail financially. That would be equivalent to reproletarianizing the petit rentier class, which would essentially be the end of american bourgeois socialism and stripping asset ownership from masses of the working class population would also destroy the lack of class conflict the US has "enjoyed" since the end of the 1940s.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM

This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), 🤔? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Balochistan, East Turkestan/Uyghuristan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, and many others as shown in the Map of all the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I posted. Obviously, this Global USSR will have a Socialist Mode of Production (Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) and Dictatorship of the Proletariat (One-Party Marxist-Leninist-Maoist State). This Centrally Planned Socialist Economy is characterized by State ownership of all companies, a State Planning Agency, the outlawing of Stock Exchanges, and a massive Social Safety Net consisting of Free Housing, Free Healthcare, Free Education, a Job Guarantee, and a Universal Basic Income, along with a long-term effort to Automate the entire Economy (hence the need for Universal Basic Income) on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

The first great Superstructural transformation brought by the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was the final destruction of that great “Opiate of the Masses” that had been used by all the ruling Classes of every previous Mode of Production to neuter the oppressed Classes, Religion. This was done by sending the International Red Guards to bulldoze/burn down all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas worldwide and arrest all Priests/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis and force them to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they were re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (This also happened to all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists as well), ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Another key aspect of this Superstructural transformation was seen in the dramatic transformation of Urban planning that was carried out by the Global USSR. This process was made easier by the aftermath of World War III (especially the Nuclear Exchange) and the subsequent World Maoist PPW that left most cities as smoldering ruins and thus in desperate need of rebuilding. The new “People’s cities” were built to be as efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-density as possible, with the entire population living in high-density Concrete Commie Bloc Apartment buildings, and all Suburban McMansions/“Single-Family Homes” bull-dozed and left to be reclaimed by nature (most had already been destroyed anyway). At the center of every major city is a single massive Skyscraper that contains all the administrative agencies of the various SSRs/ASSRs, including the local CPSU headquarters. Additionally, these cities have been designed to be as walkable as possible (this, combined with the Worldwide ban of all GMOs, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Preservatives, excessive Sodium, and Trans Fats, ended the Global Obesity epidemic that was already reduced significantly by the decades of Conventional and Nuclear Warfare), with all Automobile ownership outlawed, and most transportation carried out by Mass Rail Transit (ie. Subways, Streetcars, Bullet trains, etc.) powered by Electricity from exclusively renewable sources (ie. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, Geothermal, etc.), thus ending Global Warming (The Global Nuclear War already helped this, by thinning the World population and reducing temperatures with the mild fallout). All Rural populations employed in agriculture live in Collective Farms until this sector can be completely Automated and they can be moved to the Cities, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Finally, the Superstructural changes that resulted from the necessary Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution included dramatic changes in the nature of Sexuality, Gender Roles, and Personal Expression. In order to flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, all Women are forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses and Makeup were banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing were banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. Interestingly, their has been a noticeable decline in Transgenders in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes are still Free and Legal to anyone who wants one. The nature of Sexuality has changed dramatically with the elimination of the Reactionary emphasis on Reproduction, considering that that are now Artificial wombs, in order to finally free women from the oppressive nature of child birth. Homosexuality is obviously completely Legal and totally accepted, with the caveat that the institution of Marriage (both Homosexual and Heterosexual) has been completely phased out as a relic of Reactionary culture in favor of much looser sexual relationships among consenting adults. Finally, all Drugs have been legalized for recreational purposes, in order to simultaneously end the discriminatory and classist nature of the Global War on Drugs waged by the Old Reactionary Bourgeois order, and unleash the creativity of the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World as they travel on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Lack of Empathy

We often times hear that the biggest problem in Western society today is lack of empathy. Trump, Epstein, covid (eugenics) and the Gaza genocide are all pinpointed as examples of how lack of empathy leads to great atrocities. The most vulnerable and oppressed along is are seen as disposable and people don’t even care about each other anymore.

So my question is: how did we get here?

What factors made it so no one cares about each other anymore, and we’ve largely decided to judge others based on their “usefulness” to us and see them as a means to an end rather than as an end unto themselves. Why did we stop seeing every person as having innate human dignity and worth?

For example, let’s say you have $40 left in your bank account, but AuDHD Aurora needs money for DoorDash because she’s low on spoons and can’t cook; would you give Aurora your last $40 or would you let her go to bed starving? Most people would choose the latter simply because there’s nothing in modern society that reinforces the idea that we need to provide for neurodivergent folks even if it means making a sacrifice. Or the fact covid was allowed to kill millions of vulnerable people simply because no one wanted to stay in lockdown. We prioritize comfort over other human life because we have no normalized moral theory of Justice that makes us want to protect the weak.

You also see this with the notion of “the village” that’s become a popular trope among Gen Z. Everyone laments the fact “the village” no longer exists in modern society, and having a “village” is the only way to protect the weak and vulnerable from social murder, i.e. the whole community takes care of disabled and neurodivergent folks. So why doesn’t “the village” exist anymore and why have all attempts at creating “villages” been unsustainable? What causes a community to stick together and feel a strong sense of obligation to each other?

Empathy needs to be the main focal point of any leftist politics in the near future. That and forming a trauma-informed political program so we can heal from our collective CPTSD.

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.

"Marxism is advanced feudalism."

>>>/siberia/818393
> If you want to be really esoteric, Marxism is advanced feudalism.
No. Marxism is not advanced feudalism. Feudalism is predicated on aristocrat-serf class relations, whereas Marxism is predicated on the elimination of class relations. On what planet could one possibly come to the "esoteric" conclusion that Marxism is "advanced feudalism?" Even assuming this is inspired by that dumb pop-Economics book from Yanis Varoufakis (Technoefeudalism) that is not even his hypothesis. His hypothesis is that the capitalist countries are becoming Technofeudal, not the AES countries.

Fuck our species.

In 1992 the Church of Euthanasia started with a simple goal, to end humanity. Its founders, Chris Korda and Robert Kimberk were staunch environmentalists and nihilists who expressed their view of the world in art and protest movements. The group came under heavy scrutiny in the early 2000s for posting a montage of the 9/11 attacks with the title “I like to watch”. They also faced legal trouble when a 52 year old woman committed suicide using instructions they posted on their website.

The church has 4 key pillars, abortion, cannibalism, sodomy, and suicide, all intended to deal with the immense biowaste that we represent. Unlike the voluntary human extinction movement (“may we live long and die out”), the Core took more direct stances with messages like “save the planet, kill yourself”.

Save the planet :), and remind others to do their part.

It's completely impossible to have any sort of meaningful conversation about anything that matters anymore because nobody will engage with the facts.

So what are the flaws of dengist economics?

So say a Marxist-Leninist economy has all of the stuff important to the state nationalized and operating under scientific planning, it tries to give the basic needs of life like employment and housing to everyone as possible, but there's additionally a private sector for commodity circulation because trying to micromanage every small business to the smallest detail is silly in general. The private sector is heavily regulated to prevent them from subverting the rest of society, and also taxed to help pay for the rest of society.

So what exactly is bad about this generally speaking? Especially on a neoliberal Earth where the international elite, outside of china, can flee and go anywhere and has no accountability? The strategy of dengist economics has produced the same results that people like Mao and Stalin wanted out of their countries like mass industrialization, electrification, and prosperity but at the same time holding their own societal elites accountable.

Can AI Own and Create Intellectual Property?

https://iplaw.allard.ubc.ca/2026/04/23/artificial-intelligence-and-legal-personhood-can-ai-own-and-create-intellectual-property/
>On the other hand, more problems arise when one tries to consider AI as “authors” or “inventors” of copyright or patents. While granting legal personhood to AI may align with the personal and moral obligations of the user, such as the case in Thaler v Vidal, 43 F4th 1207 (Fed Cir 2022) where Thaler applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) arguing that an AI named DABUS was the inventor. This application was denied as DABUS was not a “natural person.”12 Thus, granting legal personality to AI would also solve this “orphan asset” problem where inventions without human inventors cannot be protected. On the other hand, this raises philosophical and practical concerns regarding whether there is any “creative” work generated that warrants protection, and how long should the protection last for an AI that theoretically would never die. Under the “Connector Model” of creativity, which holds that creativity is about making connections between ideas, then it seems that the work of AI is creative, and authored by the AI. This still leaves unanswered, however, whether this work goes beyond mere mechanistic action13 and thus the question remains on whether such creative work should be protected. Authorship is only a subset of the IP rights available, however, and thus the answer to the last question need not align with whether AI can be an author of a work. Granting author/inventor status to AI gives rise to practical problems such as the fact that they are not bound by a natural lifespan and thus can have unlimited copyright. Additionally, if AI is truly to be considered as a legal person and an author or inventor, then they would have the right to license their work to others under current Canadian law, which need not align with those of the user who prompted the creation. Overall, current IP law is tailored for human authors and inventors, and granting legal personality to AI would mean a major reworking in other aspects of IP law as well. Despite this new complexity that this change may bring, however, the evolving state of sophistication and unpredictability of AI is pushing at the frays of the current legal system, and sooner or later, a decision must be made on how to allocate risk and responsibility for AI-human interactions, whether it be by granting legal personhood to AI or through other means.

AI needs to be preemptively banned from owning private property or we will all wake up in an extremely dystopian hellscape. This is just reformism, but I don't want to deal with what neoliberalism will become after AI starts monopolizing capital, energy, and land. This is very achievable with minimal organizational efforts.

Mishima & Evola's writings

I think that this is the only community that is the best qualified at resolving this mystery. Does everyone who's interested in Evola's magic, suffer from gender dysphoria?

Gender dysphoria doesn't always have to mean that you want to be another gender. It could even include that you're suffering because you're not fulfilling your ideal of your self-identified gender and in that case, it resolves with age because ideals change.

Weininger → Evola → Mishima

Both Weininger and Mishima died to suicide and Weininger studied and released a book on gender before he died at a young age. Mishima lived for decades in love with the idea of his own death and prepared for it. He wasn't stereotypically straight and was fully aware of Magnus Hirschfeld's work on LGBTQ+ as a Japanese writer.

If both Weininger and Mishima had personal troubles with gender, did Evola too have trouble with gender?

>They wrote books, so they HAVE to be right about everything!
>I've read all the literature! What? What do you mean "other ideas"?
>My argument? Let me find the page…
How do you deprogram the type of leftist who takes literature as literal gospel? The one with all-or-nothing thinking incapable of nuance or critical thought or questioning any passages of the "holy scriptures"?
Is this person even of value to the leftist movement, or is their religiously-wired mind more detrimental to leftist evolution than their manpower is beneficial to revolution?

Cynical Socialism / Practical Socialism

I don't really know what else to call my views. I'm a socialist in a third world country and I've been on this path for quite a long time. Since I was young, more than anything I've always wanted my nation to have a decent standard of living, so that ordinary people don't have to live in conditions worse than dogs, as far too many of them do today.
I've done some aid work, spent roughly a third of my life involved in socialist groups and I'm still active today. I do believe I've done some good but obviously nowhere near enough.

But there are also things I've come to accept. One of them is that I don't think Marxism is a realistic solution in itself. Anyone who claims that Marxism will inevitably become reality is deluding themselves, perhaps even more so than the Islamists. That doesn't mean I think Marxist thought is useless. Quite the opposite, Marxist-Leninist economics, sociology, history and political writings contain an enormous amount of material that is still incredibly valuable. I see them as necessary resources.
At this point, I have come to believe that the thing that matters most for third world societies is authoritarian developmentalism, regardless of ideology. It could be nationalist, Fascist, communist, ethnic, religious, monarchist or something else entirely. What matters to me is whether a centralized state can actually be formed that has the capacity to force through development, to industrialize, build infrastructure, improve education and healthcare, create jobs and ultimately pull people out of the slums and the conditions they are forced to live in today.

I don't particularly care what ideological label such a government carries if it can actually accomplish that. I increasingly see this as the only realistic path for most third world societies. Liberal democracy in my view is the worst option when it simply reproduces stagnation, poverty and political paralysis. And liberal socialist democracy just as bad when it offers neither meaningful socialism nor meaningful development, also leaving people trapped in the same misery and stagnation.
