Prole /muskles/ vs. gym /muskles/

Today we had an especially hard day at work. We exchanged our labour power for le money for 12 hours straight.

Funny thing.

We have a new collegue, dude, trimmed eyebrows, eye-liner – JD Vance style –, total narcissist in my understanding, but most importantly buff as fuck. Like gym-buff, like i-have-the-small-pp buff.

In any case, dude after 9 hours was already exhausted, complaining constantly ("when are we finishing, ffs?"), and was visibly shaken by me being able to go on nonchalantly.

I ain't no buff guy, picrel is my /muskles/ taken after work, but constant prole-ing built up my endurance bigly. (Mind you, max I worked was 16 hours.)

I just wanna say that
1) if you prole, post your prole /muskles/ and tell us about your prole hours;
2) if u r gym parasite, plz leave;
3) is there any scientific papers comparing fake /muskles/ ("gym /muskles/") to prole /muskles/?

Thank me for your attention to this /muskles/.

Please post your own muskles. Female muskles are even more appreciated, since they are rare on chans.

And with that, the Right Wing ideology has captured the government of everything single South America country, ironically, on the leftern side of the continent.

The only technical standout is Fujimori in Peru, granted she is 40k votes ahead and mathematically locked in, unless the recount reshapes the race entire in the direction of the left, which is mathematically unlikely.

GRAPHENE OS EXPOSED.

Graphene OS is not degoogled. Recent revelation of security researcher mike kuketz reveals the thruth:

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/grapheneos-warum-android-eine-verbindung-zu-gstatic-com-aufbaut/

The "privacy" ROM connects to Google's gstatic.com for Certificate Transparency logs. While no app data is leaked, Google captures the user’s public IP address and exact request timestamps during these background HTTPS connections.

This enables tracking via cross-correlation: If you open sandboxed apps like X or Instagram, they log your IP. Since Big Tech cooperates and shares telemetry data, Google can match the gstatic connection timestamp with your app activity IP, instantly identifying your GrapheneOS device.

What will actually happen 2050?

From my understanding Mao said China will be an industrialised socialist nation by the year 2000, then Deng postponed it to 2050 which is still repeated to this day.

But what does this concretely mean in qualitative terms, how do the relations to production shift? Will the stock market be abolished, private ownership of capital, the three represents system abolished, a planned economy be build? It can't just be more development of the productive forces or building a welfare state or it doesn't mean anything.

So people who think China is actually socialist, can you give government approved sources that prove any intention to build communism?

Communists would do better if they realised that Gorbachev wasn't a traitor. He was a comically committed Leninist and he got most of his worst ideas (like basically every move to empower the different nations of the USSR, which would ultimately lead to them all leaving, or his economic policies, which were inspired by the NEP) from reading Lenin. He destroyed the USSR not because he saw the light of neoliberalism and converted, but because he believed he could recover its "true" origins before it became corrupted and stagnant.

This doesn't tell us anything about Lenin, who had been dead for decades, but it does tell you where LARPing as Lenin and treating Lenin like the biblical truth will take you. You have to understand the situation as it actually exists in the here and now, not by shoehorning it in to the texts of long dead heroes. Your analyses should start from reality and work towards useful predictions, rather than starting from dogma and working towards reconciling it with reality.

Gorbachev's failure is substantially worse in light of his loyalty to the cause.

How receptive is the average person to neoliberal/libertarian ideas ?

I've been seeing a lot of neoliberal and generally pro-market positions on social-media for a while now and I was wondering if this was a general phenomena or if it was just me.
In any case, in the event that this is a general trend on social media, how receptive is the average person to that kind of propaganda ?

From where I'm from, most people are pretty left-leaning economically but also have a lot of anti-tax views (which is logical given the burden of 65+ on the pension system). But is this the case everywhere ? I've also noticed that a lot of zoomers seemed to embrace the myth of the self-made man a lot more than the older generations.

What is /dead/'s opinions in the Left-Communism?

For those who are unaware, left-communism is an umbrella term that emerged from the left-opposition in the 3rd International.

The left-communist term encompasses Italian Left-Communism – which is split between the ideas of the ICP and of the ICT –, what ever the fuck the zionist ICC is, Council Communism, the ideas of the Situationist International, and Communization Theory (which itself is split between the various interpretations of what communization is.)

Arguably, appelism (the ideas of Tiqqun and the Invisible Committee) can also be included but it seems like they are more focused on alienation rather than communism, at least that's the impression I got after finishing reading Bloom Theory. Also, their French counterparts are dicks.

The water scarcity crisis plaguing the Caribbean nation had become so severe that last March the island’s hospitality and tourism sector considered bringing in water by barge from its neighbour, Dominica. For experts, this was a sign that, as the climate crisis worsens, extreme weather events could trigger systemic risks on the island.

How Does Sweden Exploit Third World Countries?

Author: Anonymous (This article is a repost; please contact for deletion in case of infringement)
In today's public discourse, there is no shortage of so-called praise for the "Nordic Model." This argument holds that the "Nordic Model" relies on reform rather than external expansion, achieving a highly developed standard of living and social welfare on a so-called "Third Way," which is genuine "socialism." Especially at western website, such voices are particularly loud. In China, a large number of liberals also tout these Nordic welfare states, calling them a paradise on earth. However, is this really the truth?
In the Nordic region, there is a communist who supports the Third World people's resistance against imperialism, named Torkil Lauesen. This brother, who once screwed bolts in a factory and delivered packages on the streets, rebelled against Nordic capitalists because he opposed the Nordic exploitation of the Third World. As a result, he was sent to prison by the "democratic and free" Nordic Social Democratic government. After regaining his freedom, he wrote a book titled *Riding the Wave: Sweden’s Integration into the Imperialist World System*. Let's see how he exposes the imperialist acts of the Nordic countries.
Swedish capitalists have transferred a massive amount of low- to mid-end labor-intensive industries to the Third World, making a fortune overseas: [The Swedish company Electrolux is one of the world's leading producers of household appliances and tools; by 2010, about 70% of its production was outsourced to low-wage countries. In 2018, 3,103 Swedish multinational companies employed 2.16 million people, of which 1.5 million were abroad and another 660,000 were within Sweden. Swedish transnational capital is highly concentrated. The 30 largest companies employed 1,053,381 people in 2018, with 773,611 abroad and 279,770 in Sweden. The turnover of these companies abroad was 3,713 billion SEK (445.56 billion USD), compared to 2,263 billion SEK (271.56 billion USD) in Sweden.]
Some say that the countries Sweden invests in are primarily Western developed countries like Germany, so Sweden does not exploit the Third World. Regarding this, this brother also provided an explanation: [About half of the investments are inter-imperialist—Swedish investments in North America and the EU, and vice versa—which reflects the degree of global capital integration. Swedish Electrolux products are sold in the EU and the US, while German Siemens and US Apple products are sold in Sweden; importantly, the products of Electrolux, Siemens, and Apple are all actually produced in low-wage countries. From an imperialist perspective, investment in low-wage countries is the key.]
In plain terms, Sweden invests in German companies, and the products of these German companies are all produced by the working people of the Third World. The surplus value extracted by the German companies comes from the Third World, while Sweden can obtain a portion of the blood and sweat money from Third World working people through its equity investment in German companies, which is essentially "the sharing of spoils among imperialist robbers." However, in the eyes of some people with a worrying level of political economy, it seems as if Sweden exploited Germany rather than the Third World. I also find such bizarre remarks hard to understand.
[According to data from Statistics Sweden, in 2018, about 576,000 people living in low-wage countries worked for Swedish companies through subsidiaries. Among them, 252,000 lived in Asia, including 103,000 in China and 46,000 in India. South and Central America had 125,000 such workers, including 27,000 in Brazil and 33,000 in Mexico. Africa had 25,000, and South Africa had 12,000. Eastern Europe had 144,000, including 64,000 in Poland. The turnover of these Swedish subsidiaries in low-wage countries reached 93 billion SEK (11.16 billion USD) in 2018 alone.]
This kind of transnational exploitation by transferring labor-intensive industries outward also causes unemployment among industrial workers within imperialist countries. These industrial workers who lose their jobs are then transferred to the service industry: [Parallel to outsourcing, the number of industrial workers in Sweden decreased from about 370,000 in 1996 to 161,367 in 2018. During the same period, the number of employees in the service sector increased from about 275,000 in 1996 to 408,437 in 2018. Due to outsourcing, the number of workers directly employed by Swedish multinational companies in China and India alone is equivalent to the number of industrial workers these companies employ in Sweden.]
If the Swedish proletariat merely shifted from manufacturing to the service industry and could at least still enjoy some "Social Democratic blessings," then what kind of "blessings" do the working people of the Third World, who are brutally exploited by Swedish capitalists, enjoy?
[In 2016, the UN International Labour Organization (ILO) released a report on the working conditions in textile factories in Cambodia, India, and Bangladesh, which are suppliers to H&M. In Cambodia, about 700,000 people work in the garment industry, 90-95% of whom are women aged 18 to 35. The average monthly wage in Cambodian factories supplying H&M was $187. In Indian factories, the monthly wage was $114, and in Bangladesh, the monthly wage was about $87. According to the ILO report, these wage levels are only enough to cover about half of basic living necessities and simple housing.]
After finishing their work for the Swedish Social Democratic masters, the workers of the Third World receive pitifully low wages, unable to maintain even the most basic food and clothing. This is the "blessing" brought by imperialists to oppressed peoples—a bloody "blessing." Of course, Western imperialists, waving the banners of so-called "human rights" and "progress," sometimes put on a show and pretend to be great philanthropists, sanctimoniously saying they want to improve the labor conditions of Third World people, but in reality, it is lip service without substance:
[In February 2018, Swedish national television reported that factory workers at H&M's Hawassa supplier in Ethiopia earned only 300 SEK ($36) per month. At the same time, H&M was participating in a major new development aid project: Swedfund, the Swedish state development aid organization, had provided a preferential loan of 125 million SEK to the Bangladeshi company DBL, which was building a new textile factory that would provide 4,000 jobs in Ethiopia. H&M would take action to ensure sustainable conditions, committing to become a long-term buyer for the factory. In an interview with Swedish television, Swedfund's CEO did not want to talk about whether he thought 2 SEK per hour (300 SEK per month) was a good wage in Ethiopia. They stated that Swedfund intended to try to arrange higher wages in the country, but even though the joint project started in 2014, there were still no requirements regarding factory wages.]
As Comrade Lenin said, the exploitation of the labor of low-wage workers from backward countries and the extraction of their super-profits is a particularly typical phenomenon of imperialism. [Exploiting the labor of low-wage workers from backward countries is precisely a highly typical phenomenon of imperialism. To a certain extent, the parasitic nature of rich imperialist countries is built upon this. While these countries brazenly and extensively exploit the "cheap" labor of foreign workers, they also use higher wages to buy off a section of their own workers. The words "low-wage" should be added, and at the same time, the words "and often rightless" should be added, because the exploiters of "civilized" countries always take advantage of the fact that imported foreign workers have absolutely no rights.]
So, I advise some conservatives who are left in form but right in essence, who try to unite with Western imperialism under a leftist guise, to read more of Comrade Lenin's works, and do not try to claim kinship with foreign skin-flayers. Some netizens also say, "The Nordic countries didn't commit murder or arson, so how did they exploit you?" Well, Swedish capitalists really do commit murder and arson in the Third World:
[In June 2010, the European Coalition on Oil in Sudan published a report titled *Unpaid Debt*, calling on the Swedish government to investigate allegations regarding Lundin Petroleum's involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity during its activities in South Sudan (then Sudan), particularly between 1997 and 2003. The crimes in question included indiscriminate and deliberate targeting of civilians, burning of homes, looting, destroying objects necessary for survival, unlawful killing of civilians, rape of women, abduction of children, torture, and forced displacement. About 12,000 people died, 160,000 were forced to leave their lands and homes, and many could never return. Satellite images taken between 1994 and 2003 showed that the activities of the Swedish oil company coincided with a significant decline in the area of agricultural land in its operating zone.]
What "democratic socialism"? To me, this is nothing but the banditry of imperialism!

Cuba: Surrendering or tactical retreat?

There sad and disturbing development according to DropSiteNews.

https://x.com/dropsitenews/status/2065526500640645566


🚨🇨🇺 BREAKING: Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel unveiled a sweeping set of economic reforms Friday, casting them as Cuba’s path through the crisis driven by a “criminal energy blockade” by the United States that has left the island nearly without fuel.

Only 1 oil tanker has reached Cuba in the past 5 months, Díaz-Canel said, a collapse that traces to January, when the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and cut the flow of Venezuelan oil, then threatened tariffs on any country that supplied Cuba.

Havana now endures blackouts of up to 15 hours a day. Among the most devastating consequences of the U.S. policy is that the Cuban government has been forced to postpone tens of thousands of surgeries for its citizens.

The Cuban President today named national defense as the first priority, citing preparations under Cuba’s “Whole People’s War” doctrine. The full 2026 reform program includes:

🔹Enterprise & Markets
🔸 Overhaul the economic management system, easing the conflict between central planning and incentives for production
🔸 Grant state enterprises autonomy to set their own wages, dimensions, clients, and suppliers, use their profits freely, and enter the currency market directly [enterprise autonomy is a bad idea]
🔸 Loosen rules on non-state businesses, narrowing banned activities and widening shareholding
🔸 Fast-track approval of stalled private and state MSMEs (mipymes)

🔹 Decentralization & the State
🔸 Expand municipal autonomy, letting provinces import, export, attract foreign investment, and manage hard-currency income on their own
🔸 Restructure and shrink the state, cutting ministries and posts via a public draft law to reduce bureaucracy

🔹 Trade & Investment
🔸 Make foreign trade more dynamic, dropping mandatory intermediaries and favoring importers of raw materials over finished goods
🔸 Incentivize foreign direct investment, plus a new role for Cuban-diaspora and resident-Cuban investors as economic actors [Whyyyy?????]

🔹 Agriculture & Food
🔸 Reform land use, giving land to those who will farm it, cutting idle plots, and opening input and currency markets to producers across all sectors
🔸 Pursue food self-sufficiency by streamlining bureaucracy for agricultural production

🔹 Fiscal, Monetary & Social
🔸 Shift fiscal policy so the budget no longer finances state-enterprise inefficiency [So make things worse for the state sector]
🔸 Redesign monetary policy and the foreign-exchange market, and strengthen the banking system
🔸 Reform wages in the budget sector and move from subsidizing products to subsidizing people

🔹 Energy & Transport
🔸 Expand renewable energy and electric mobility, including local EV assembly, to cut dependence on imported fuel
🔸 Ease vehicle import limits, favoring solar-charged electric vehicles

🔹 Tourism, Commerce & Labor
🔸 Revive tourism through new operators beyond the big foreign chains that have pulled out
🔸 Modernize domestic commerce with electronic invoicing and digital platforms
🔸 Protect young skilled workers with better pay and incentives to curb emigration


Let's hope those loyal to the communist cause in Cuba resist liberalization.

Historical overview: ML-MZT vs MLM vs M3W

The replies of thread >>2766805 have been so poor I intended to make a new thread, giving a historical overview of the last few decades of the communist movement.

>What is the difference between:

>Mao Zedong Thought [ML-MZT]
>Maoism-ThirdWorldism [M3W]
<Missing: >Classical Marxism-Leninism-Maoism [classical MLM]. Exemplified by Communist Party of the Philippines and Communist Party of India (Maoist) as key leaders and influences.
>Gonzalo Thought [aka "MLM-pM" and "Gonzaloism"]
>How interrelated are they?

Comrades. don't forget these tools:
<Historical materialism.
<General-Particular-General dialectical spiral in analysis.
<Never capitulate proletarian leadership to reactionary classes.
<Analyze the contradictory relationship of petty-bourgeois ideology to scientific socialism-communism throughout time, which always ends just yesterday.

<50s-70s:

ML-MZT is a part of the revolutionary pole of Marxism-Leninism, along with Socialist Albania and the still revolutionary wave of subsequent parties, red armies and masses internationally basing themselves on this praxis; which fought the reactionary turn that resulted in numerous setbacks in the international workers movement during the post-war period. Influenced both by the hot wars waged in US imperialism's so-called "Cold War" as well as the now great power chauvinist USSR having capitulated the weapon of Lenin and transforming into a social-imperialist obstacle, funding pacifist reformist, anti-revolutionary parties the world over. Mao, in direct communication with parties seeking revolutionary guidance all over the world clarifies a tactical point on protracted peoples war [PPW]: it is a tactic working specifically for semi-colonial / semi-feudal areas and not for largely urbanized or imperialist countries, where the "October road" tactic should be used. This is important to keep in mind later on in the post.
CPP forms in the 60s around Marcos dictatorship period. The party is influenced by ML-MZT.
TKP/ML forms in the 70s in the midst of Turkish state anti-communist repression. Party leader Kaypakkayakaya assassinated early. Reorganizations and splits define this early period until mid 90s.

<80s-90s:

MLM appears as a group of competing interpretations, tendencies, backgrounds (and eventual results), trying to assess the lessons of the Chinese revolution and the potential nature of Maoism as a new stage of development. Abimael Guzman ("Gonzalo") gains influence thinking he has found a "new synthesis" after a trip to China during the Cultural Revolution. The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement [RIM] formed in the mid 80s and peaking in influence in the mid to late 90s, dissolving from inactivity in the early 2010s. Foundational and leading parties were PCP-SL (Gonzalo), RCPUSA (Avakian), TKP/ML and a south asian multitude Maoist groups (pre early 2000s period of reorganization, consolidation and major growth). They end up drawing dispairate conclusions on the fundational question of what 'Maoism'"is".
PCP-SL launches their campaign in the Peruvian countryside, elevating the principal nature of Maoism having been uncovered through 'Gonzalo Thought', growth is made easier in part by the social emiseration through hyperinflation initiated during the social fascist presidency of Alan García. A wrecked population and particularly peruvian agricultural workers of indigenous background, turned to the Maoists. President García commits suicide by gunshot (a rare poetic suicide, the political-economic actions of his admin. clearly "hit the fan" in a similar sense) and is followed by Alberto Fujimori, a Japanese capitalist with deep connection to both Peruvian intelligence as well as supported by US intelligence now actively monitoring the situation). Fujimori is growing a political dynasty in Peru of which he hyper-exploits with clear disdain for the Peruvian people. Later it is revealed that his campaigns were funded and aided by the US, even militarily and that his side murdered more peruvians in the civil war. One tactic tactic utilized by the Fujimori dictatorship was the forced sterilization program disguised as public health / economic development, specifically targeting impoverished Peruvian indigenous women. 300.000 women were sterilized.
The PCP-SL tries to connect the rural base areas by growing into the urban environment. The civil war is now at its peak in a now military dictatorship. Having the entire hierarchy of the party written down and organized on a personal computer in the urban area he hides in, Gonzalo is a single point of failure. In '92 the Peruvian state finds him, raids the place and decapitates the party in one sweep. The Peruvian movement has still not recovered. It's partially due to 'Gonzalo Thought' proclaiming importance to Jefetura transl. 'Great Leadership' which places emphasis on a singular "Great Leader" being a key aspect this theoretical "advance".
RIM's "contribution" then was the announcing the universality of this Maoism, which also includes the "universality" of the PPW, around '93, following his capture.
CPP enters a Second Great Rectification in 1992, a key turn for the party's success, with adjusting their praxis, expelling a variety of negative elements that have managed to enter the organization(s) and which are inflicting problems. Some were literal Gorbachevites that wanted to liquidate the armed communist basis for the legal organizations, others were left-adventurists (people advocating tactics that sound like 90s LatAm adventurists, whether Gonzaloist or Guevarists). CPP seeks to persecute these elements. CPP adopts MLM, without adding 'Gonzalo Thought' "contributions", or joining RIM. these years CPP struggles against such deviationist tendencies, reemerging as hostile parties, kept afloat by petty bourgeois sympathizers, gangster networks and reformists. CPP manages to persecute some (red areas constitute dual power, a state within the bourgeois state of the philippines), others happen to be killed (not proscribed party policy). Brief tumult ensues for some years in the philippine communist movement. CPP emerges victorious.
TKP/ML conflict with state escalates in the mid 90s, in a brutal power struggle. Its power base is the Kurdish community in Turkey. As I have limited info on the situation it's safe to limit the statement to the fact that the repression appears to remain unsuccessful as the culture of the region still is supportive (corresponding to Irish views of IRA / socialist republicans).
RCPUSA takes a turn away and in the late 90s "creates" "his own" "synthesis". It becomes another cult. Today they mostly protest and theatrically praise Bob Avakian himself in the manner a black book of communism chapter would characterize what a socialist mode of production is.
In the 90s M3W is formed as less of a political force and more of… an art project, in North America. Their activity consists of media engagement, primarily online. Their "theoretical elaboration" (that the proletariat in any imperialist nation is structurally incapable of revolution) deviate from MLM and MZT theory and practice, while retaining the militant verbiage and symbolism. They don't last more than a decade in terms of noticeable output, are still technically existing today as "MIM (Prisons)" which also still just posts stuff online, which can be described as "bizarro US exceptionalism".

Red Metal

As an avid listener of metal, something that frustrates me is the prevalence of chuds and reactionaries in metal (especially black metal). The visibility of guys like Varg and Famine of Peste Noire infamy has colored the public perception of extreme metal as being the domain of edgelord fascists. What are some metal groups that could be said to be socialist, anarchist, or leftist in some manner?

To start things off, I'd highly recommend the Panopticon album "Kentucky," which is a BM album about the state's history with labor organizing among coal miners, as well as the coal industry's destruction of the state's natural beauty. It's not a perfect album by any means but the way it mixes BM with bluegrass is cool, plus it has an incredibly redpilled message.

On the Dirtbag Left/DSA movement

For a brief moment from 2016-2022 this was supposedly the pinnacle of online left-wing politics. Bernie was about to win, Democratic socialism was the future, China would inevitably democratize and the old boring MLism was dead. A few DSA-backed candidates winning city council seats in already progressive districts was treated as if the Bolsheviks had just stormed the Winter Palace.

The most ridiculous part was that the supposed divide between the Dirtbag Left and the DSA left barely existed. They agreed on healthcare, labor, foreign policy, housing, policing and virtually every other major issue. The defining ideological conflict of the era was essentially whether you were allowed to make edgy 90's raunch comedy jokes on podcasts. Entire feuds and endless Twitter meltdowns emerged from a disagreement that amounted to "can you say slurs ironically?"

The confidence was incredible, leftist genuinely talked as if DSA-aligned leadership of every major American city was inevitable, as if Bernie was one good news cycle away from the White House and as if a handful of podcasts by stand up comedians had somehow cracked the code of political history.
In retrospect, it all seems absurd. There was never a realistic path to any of it. The movement's grandest ambitions had essentially zero chance of materializing.

Then reality intervened. Bernie lost, The post-COVID world arrivedm Housing crises worsened, Migration became politically explosive, Major wars returnedm China didn't democratize and instead looked increasingly capable of navigating long-term crises without becoming a Western liberal democracy and the assumptions underlying the entire scene collapsed one by one.

A lot of the old supporters ended up as tankies. A smaller but noticeable number drifted toward the far right. Sometimes they somehow became both at once. The aesthetic transformation is almost as funny as the political one, the old Dirtbag Left revolved around schlubby podcasters making jokes about being ironically gay, the people who inherited its audience are often obsessed with MMA, military history, geopolitical realism and posting shirtless workout photos. The few remaining loyalists seem to have finally realized that their politics were never meaningfully different from the DSA's in the first place and appear perfectly content settling into the role of ordinary progressive liberals.

What a strange, stupid little farce that was.

JFK Assassination Conspiracy

Even though JFK was a fucking demon it is important to keep an open mind on who assassinated him. So in this thread let’s discuss the most mind-blowing conspiracy theories of them all, but no stupid theories though, you guys will give me a headache.
R: 29 / I: 5

Left-conspiratard, where art thou?

Prior to 2016 (when Trump was first elected POTUS), conspiracy culture was left-coded as shown by how 9/11 truthers, anti-vaxxers, General Motors streetcar conspiracy, etc… were mostly leftists or leaned to the left in the political spectrum, with GWOT-era Michael Moore’s documentaries being the prime example. Funnily enough, the mainstream American right-wing during the Bush presidency was far more elitist and anti-conspiratorial than their leftist contemporaries, and that was when the American left was more populist since it was the underdog during the GWOT era (especially the faction opposed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan).

It’s only after 2016 that you see the big shift as the post-2008 American left became less populist and more elite, “woke”, and prestigious as opposed to the GOP which started to become more prole-coded, lower-class and populist. The cracks began with the Tea Party, and MAGA just accelerated the shift, to the point that MAGA turned from a faction within the GOP to being the top faction, so much so that any republican candidate would be committing social suicide by not being 100% devoted to MAGA.

Now that the American right (particularly MAGA) has become the incumbent, you’re starting to see some kind of return to the old status quo as right-wing influencers like Nick Fuentes and The Blaze are shitting on conspiracists, beginning with Epstein. Part of it is because Nick hates cringe and poor people, and part of it is that, now that the movement he supports is in power, all the talks about “deep state” this and that is counterproductive now that Trump (the guy Qanon prophesied to stop Epstein) is in charge. In the meantime, the American left has successfully seized on Trump acting guilty by ridiculously walking back on the Epstein files, to the point of dismissing it as a ‘Democratic hoax’. Likewise you have various MAGA influencers like Azealia Banks defending Epstein or denying it, even if it means going against their priors. This is concurrent with how the Epstein saga has transformed into a form of lumpenised class consciousness across the American left, to the point that this sort of populist Epstein-related conspiratorialism (such as allegations of cannibalism and satanism) has reached all of Latin America, the entire western left, as well as the Iranian government (if its LEGO AI videos are proof of anything).

Now what? Well, considering how conspiracy culture is being shunned by chuds if it implicates their stars, I think most of the deranged conspiracy-minded folks will either return to the left camp or abstain from politics altogether. That, or get into rightoid crashouts like in the case of picrel guy who you may know as being behind the ban of Maoist_Landlord on X’itter after said account mocked his Benzos addiction, doxxing multiple X’itter users out of psychosis, and for drenching himself in fake blood to protest Hasan Piker because reasons.

>“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.

I’m getting really fucking sick of the Palestine Movement’s obsession with “celebrity” activists and how much it prioritizes these western activists over actual Palestinians.

All the time on social media I see incidents of sone western activist living in America losing their job for speaking out against Zionism and then proceed to raise $20,000+ through a GoFundMe account in response. All of that money could have been better spent by being directly given to Palestinian families in Gaza who lost everything because if the genocide, or at the very least organizations with a good reputation for helping Palestinians in Palestine. Western activists will survive without your $100 donation, Palestinian families in Gaza won’t.

Tgis obsession with propping up the personalities of “activist celebrities” is one reason the Palestine a movement has become such a clusterfuck. I’m talking about people like Hasan Piker, Greta Thunberg, Chris Smalls, Ms. Rachel, Kehlani, and Vic Mensa to name a few. How about we start focusing on actual Palestinians? The flotilla activists are the same way: they receive so much money and support when they know full well the Zionist authorities won’t let them into Gaza, making the flotillas merely a stunt. Yeah, they were tortured in Zionist prisons but so have thousands of Palestinians who will never have their voices heard in global media.

Or, when Elias Rodriguez goes to trial in a few months you can be sure he’s going to get tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in legal donations from Palestine activists. Gaza is suffering and yet you think giving money to a guy who will clearly be found guilty and spend the rest of his life in prison is a better use of your funds?

Celebrities and influencers should not be propped up on a pedestal at all but the same thing goes for these “I was fired for saying ‘Free Palestine’, I’m a martyr now, gib munny pls” types. Palestinians should be the ones centred here, not western activists who have made loads of money and clout for being pro-Palestine.

What can WE do to prevent rightoid violence RIGHT NOW

Obviously if we were in charge of government there would be a variety of options but what can we personally do right now to prevent the monthly mass shooting done by some neo-nazi. This cannot keep happening. Surely there must be something we can do.

Officer with Ukrainian unit linked to neo-Nazis received military training in Canada

https://ottawacitizen.com/public-service/defence-watch/azov-ukrainian-unit-military-training-canada

Sources say Defence Minister David McGuinty was unaware the Azov Brigade soldier had been invited to RMC Saint-Jean.

Author of the article:By David Pugliese • Ottawa Citizen
Published Apr 15, 2026
Last updated Apr 20, 2026

A non-commissioned officer with a Ukrainian unit linked to neo-Nazis has received military training in Canada and graduated from a Canadian Forces leadership course. Previously, the Canadian Forces and Department of National Defence maintained they would not train or associate with the controversial Azov Brigade. But a member of the brigade was at the Royal Military College Saint-Jean in Quebec for leadership training from Jan. 13 to Feb. 5, 2026, according to Canadian soldiers who contacted the Ottawa Citizen. Objections to the Azov soldier’s presence were submitted by Canadian Forces personnel to military leaders immediately, but were ignored.

Defence Minister David McGuinty, in a statement to the Ottawa Citizen, said “at no point has Canada’s mandate included training members of the Azov Battalion.”

“We have reinforced our policy to prevent any recurrence and remain firmly opposed to Nazism, racism, and all forms of extremism while promoting human rights, and the rule of law in all international engagements,” he added.

Department of National Defence spokesperson Kened Sadiku said Ukraine had previously been explicitly told not to send members of the Azov Brigade to Canadian military training. Despite identifying the presence of the Azov soldier in the non-commissioned member leadership training program, the Canadian Forces decided to allow him to continue participating.

“Given that fewer than seven days remained in the course and the individual had effectively completed the training, it was determined that the individual would be permitted to graduate,” Sadiku said.

The Azov Brigade, originally referred to as a battalion or regiment, is highly controversial. In 2018, the United States Congress banned the use of U.S. funds to provide arms, training and other assistance to the unit because of its links to the far-right and to neo-Nazis. But in June 2024, U.S. President Joe Biden lifted the ban for Azov, which is seen as highly effective on the battlefield in defending Ukraine from Russia’s invasion. The Canadian Forces previously had a strict policy of distancing itself because of the unit’s far-right associations.

But, under Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan, it appears that may have changed. In July 2025, Canadian military personnel hosted a meeting with Azov Brigade staff, the Maple, an online publication, reported in October. Azov personnel described the meeting with the Canadians as a “friendly and open dialogue.” At the time, the Canadian Forces confirmed that the meeting took place in Ukraine, but refused to answer specific questions from the Ottawa Citizen. Brig. Gen. Serge Menard, who arranged the meeting, told Azov representatives it would be a “pleasure to greet you at the Canadian Embassy.”

Has anime gotten chuddier?

https://thecartdriver.wordpress.com/2020/02/14/psycho-pass-carole-and-tuesday-and-more-why-anime-features-anti-immigration-elections/

I see a lot of people like in the article’s author, especially leftists, talk about it, and honestly? I’m not seeing it, at all. Maybe because I haven’t been active in the anime fandom for a decade by now (last discourse I got caught up in was the dumb flame war over “elitists” vs “casuals” on MAL), or maybe because I only consoome old (read: 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s) media because I don’t like much of contemporary media, but can’t say with certainty, but I just don’t see it.

Sure, perhaps the proportion of Japanese creators being chuds increased in recent years, but I don’t see that being particularly well-reflected in the current output of the Japanese animation and comic industries. The political messaging of 20th century and early 2000s anime and manga seems to be same as 2020s anime and manga insofar that both are all over the place in equal amounts.

Among “chuddy” anime, I can only think of GATE (literal JSDF propaganda), HighSchool Of The Dead (zombie shounen ecchi horror with big tiddie girls made by a far-right mangaka who hates leftists, supports the JSDF, a gun nut, and hates Koreans), and Frieren (what with the genocided human-like predatory demons being portrayed in deterministic ways in spite of showing signs of actual sapience the story never addresses), but that’s about it.

As for manga, the best I can think of as of late is Drama Queen with many seeing the aliens as allegory for immigrants in Japan, although many can’t decide if they’re supposed to be stand-ins for American/Euro expats, tourists, East Asian renters, SEA and SA migrant workers, Kurdish refugees, or a pastiche of all of them. But that’s like an exception compared to the shit-ton of manga that pushes feminist, anti-racist and other socially progressive themes.

I think it has already been discussed before, but Japan being NPC-topia combined with how being a busherite is deemed as the most acceptable way to express oneself in Japanese politics as opposed to, say, being a Maoist might have a lot to do with why a lot of mangakas seem to be chuds, which is easy as the majority of Japanese people in general are disconnected in politics. In fact, the biggest political rallies in recent times are those for pensioner rights, and Japan can be tentatively argued to be a “dictatorship” by the same standards we use to describe Singapore, what with both countries being governed by the same right to centre right party for almost their entire existence, and most liberals regard Singapore as more of a benevolent dictatorship despite having elections, so there’s that.

With that said, I don’t really see any noticeable increase in chud-coded manga and anime, at least not among normie spaces. And of the ones that exist, they’re more of an exception than the norm. In fact, “Psycho-Pass 3” and “20th Century Boys” are the only instances in modern anime and manga in the mainstream market that I remember where the subject of immigration to Japan in modern times has ever been broached without resorting to fantastical allegories like in “Cop Craft”, and all of them treated it neutrally. So I think this concern among leftists is overblown.

But feel free to disagree with me. I don’t think I’m bringing anything new to the table, I just want to be proven wrong.

Hello peeps, I'm looking for any advice regarding trying to convince friends & family to adopt any belief even remotely critical of the system itself rather than the classic "what's happening now is bad but capitalism is the best we got" libshit excuses for every crisis caused by the latter.

I wanna go about this without *sounding* leftist to them, cus y'know how it goes:
>says anything sounding remotely leftist
>immediately triggers McCarthyist programming
>"muh gommunism 400 septillion dead"
>conversation dies

I also don't want to sound preachy or obnoxious, I'm not on any holier than thou shit to anyone rightward of me. If anything I pity libs and anyone who hasn't become conscious yet (except outright bigots/nazis of course), as said reactions are barely every out of genuine conviction but rather dogmatic kneejerks.

Book with references to Maoist economic development.

I remember reading this book which had graphs on Maoist industrial development showing it was actually the beginning of the "economic miracle" the counterrevolutionary state had, and that the country had modernised in the Maoist era. I'd like to find it to cite, but I don't remember the name and I didn't have a pdf in my computer library that has those details exactly nationwide, so I had to resort to a book by a liberal historian called Chinese Economic Development by Chris Bramal, that has some of the statistics (especially when it comes to human development), but not the industrial statistics. It is a good book but it is not what I am looking for and it is limited because it is liberal history not socialist history.

Could anyone help me find the book I am looking for?

Bikini Armor is something of a staple of chud discourse and many gamers will refuse to play games that don't feature it, but at this point it is something that future game devs predicting a pro-chud vibe shift will include in their games.

Yet somehow I still think that bikini armor propaganda will still be a potent force in future politics now that even centrist men will berate you for not having hoes in bikini armor.

(Just in case some /leftypol/ tourist starts yelling 'glow fed', I'm not American, this is purely out of curiosity, if anyone were serious they wouldn't be discussing it on a public pan-african permagrowth-designing forum, and it's not my fault if your opsec is atrociously shit)

The vid rel (from Examined Life) was posted a while ago, the punchline being the El Salvadorean telling the pessimistic American 'don't you have mountains in the US?' 'It's easy, you go to the mountains, you start an armed cell, you create revolution.' A recent reply retorted, absurdly, that the government would 'just McNuke' them.

It got me thinking a bit, the US despite MacArthur's efforts didn't iNuke any country since Japan and I suspect it would be very unlikely to do it on a civilized part of their own mainland. And ultimately, even in the modern age, the US has failed to really utilize their weaponry dominance. It's easy for the naive eye to look at drones, gun-dogs, tanks and planes and forget just how effective asymmetric warfare can be against superpowers.

The questions:
- Is creating a base of operations onnamountains a viable tactic in the US?
- Are there any modern US examples of successful guerilla tactics, urban or rural? Possible examples could include organized crime or rural compounds.
- How is asymmetric warfare changed by proximity? US wars in Asia and further have a noticeable supply issue with distance.

One of America's most powerful porkies near death

Clive Davis was rushed to the hospital for lung issues and may not survive another day.

This is important because Davis is a monster who has been far WORSE than Epstein and is a much bigger and more sinister criminal

Davis is one of the most powerful men in the music industry, and there's been rumours for years that he's has been involved in loads of shady shit like running Epstein-like sex trafficking rings in the music industry since the 1970s. It is a known fact Davis was involved in one of the biggest payola scandals in music industry history. He is also known to commit tax fraud/evasion. Plus there is a huge number of musicians whose deaths he was certainly involved in (Janis Joplin, Donny Hathaway, Phyllis Hyman, Luther Vandros, Aaliyah, Left Eye, Whitney Houston, Angie Stone and even Prince). Some say he has CIA connections. Yet he hasn't been charged with anything

Davis buckbroke Diddy when Diddy first entered the music industry. But it gets deeper. Clive Davis is a member of the Study Group (Mega Group), a secretive inner circle of powerful Jewish billionaires. This same organization funded Jeffrey Epstein and gave him his elite connections. We know Epstein was a Mossad agent who was getting blackmail material on the rich and powerful so they’d keep making pro-Israel policies. There is no doubt Clive Davis was absolutely using Diddy to get blackmail material on rappers and pop stars so that they’d stay in-line identical to Epstein. And the Study Group was behind it all.

Davis is also a gigantic Zionist and owns a school at NYU (where criticizing Zionism is against university policy).

Given all this, will Davis finally be exposed on his deathbed?

Neoconservatism

Can we get a Neocon breadpill thread going?

What exactly was Neoconservatism and how exactly did it originate? Was it the philosophy of Leo Strauss? Was it former Trotskyists like Irving Kristol? If so, why did these ex-Trots flip and become right-wingers? Politically, it started in America with the Reagan presidency, so what exactly were Reagan's political influences? Also, given that its biggest proponents were Jews, did it have any Talmudic or Kabbalistic element to it?

Basically, sum up whatever Neoconservatism is. Also, Straussian Neocons formed coalitions with the Religious Right and free market neoliberals despite all three groups having contradictory ideologies. Why?

Cory in the House DS

Ever since the car crash, I had been troubled at times with pains in the back of my head and neck, but now for months they had been absent, and the doctor sent me away saying there was nothing more to be cured in me. It was hardly worth his fee to be told that; I knew it myself. Still I did not grudge him the money. What I minded was the mistake which he made at first. When they picked me up from the pavement where I lay unconscious, I was carried to Dr. Archer, and he, pronouncing my brain affected, placed me in his private asylum where I was obliged to endure treatment for insanity. At last he decided that I was well, and I, knowing that my mind had always been as sound as his, if not sounder, “paid my tuition” as he jokingly called it, and left. I told him, smiling, that I would get even with him for his mistake, and he laughed heartily, and asked me to call once in a while. I did so, hoping for a chance to even up accounts, but he gave me none, and I told him I would wait.

The crash had fortunately left no evil results; on the contrary it had changed my whole character for the better. From a lazy young man about town, I had become active, energetic, temperate, and above all—oh, above all else—ambitious. There was only one thing which troubled me, I laughed at my own uneasiness, and yet it troubled me.

During my convalescence I had bought and played for the first time, Cory in the House. I remember after finishing the first level that it occurred to me that I had better stop. I started up and made to turn off my DS; and my thumb struck the button to continue to the next level. If I had not caught a glimpse of the opening screen of the second level I should never have finished it, but as I looked, my eyes became riveted to the illuminated screen, and with a cry of terror, or perhaps it was of joy so poignant that I suffered in every nerve, I snatched the thing away and crept shaking to my bedroom, where I played it and replayed it, and wept and laughed and trembled with a horror which at times assails me yet. This is the thing that troubles me, for I cannot forget the District of Columbia where black stars hang in the heavens; where the shadows of men’s thoughts lengthen in the afternoon, when the twin suns sink into the lake of Hali; and my mind will bear for ever the memory of the Pallid Mask. I pray God will curse the developer, as the developer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth—a world which now trembles before Cory in the House. When the French Government seized the translated copies which had just arrived in Paris, London, of course, became eager to play it. It is well known how the game spread like an infectious disease, from city to city, from continent to continent, barred out here, confiscated there, denounced by Press and pulpit, censured even by the most advanced of information anarchists. No definite principles had been violated in those wicked levels, no doctrine promulgated, no convictions outraged. It could not be judged by any known standard, yet, although it was acknowledged that the supreme note of art had been struck in Cory in the House, all felt that human nature could not bear the strain, nor thrive on gameplay in which the essence of purest poison lurked. The very banality and innocence of the first level only allowed the blow to fall afterward with more awful effect.

Urban insurgecy

How can a urban insurgent group surivive?
The majority of insurgencies are now in urban centres instead or rural ones, such as northern ireland and gaza.

So.. how can a urban insurgency surivive in the united states? Or similar countries? Can only decentrailized cells funcition since leadership would be capped easily, or can a full group temporaily seize small portions of a city, or cause disruptions?

anti imperialist NEET dialectics

which is more true, take 1 or take 2?

>take 1


>being a NEET is based if you are in an imperialist country, because that means you are sucking it dry and making it collapse


>being a NEET is cringe if you are in a peripheral country because that means you are making it weaker against imperialism.


<take 2


<being a NEET is cringe if you are in an imperialist country, because that means you are increasing the appetite of treatlerism and forcing the global south to work harder for your treats


<being a NEET is based if you are in a peripheral country because that means you are depriving the imperial core treatlerites of their slave labor
