Can anarchism ever make a comeback? They don't seem to do much of anything nowadays. No propaganda of the deed, no cultural staying power, no media personalities. Baby leftists seem to not even be aware of it anymore.

What if the people need to come together to be reached, and what if they get what they need for their liberation, and what they are missing in their lives under capitalism such as community aid and belonging, in a church?
Consider the conditions under which Christianity arose. The older religions including Greco-Roman pantheon worship had declined. They had by no means lost their popularity completely but the awe of the primal forces of nature and the fatalistic philosophical personification and deification of aspects of human behavior no longer spoke as effectively to the increasingly urban masses where the bronze age conditions that inspired the religion in the first place were increasingly remote and abstract. Major rituals and festival were increasingly done by rote or performatively by elites for their political careers, or for the celebrations more than the meaning beneath them. Christianity filled that void, the thought of taking on the sins and failures and brutality of humanity from the top down and dying to absolve the human soul, the thought of an all encompassing and compassionate architecture to the universe and their place in it gave people more awe than witnessing a lightning storm or an earthquake.
We all know how things went since, there's more to criticize about Christianity's history than we have time to go over. But now we find ourselves once again in similar conditions for something new. Religious membership is declining in the west, the remaining membership are either increasingly secularized and bourgeois or increasingly hyper-reactionary or lumpen. These institutions are not able to speak to the problems of the day or any solution for them on a theological or material basis. If the old church was the theological logic of feudalism to come in the shadow of rome, if protestantism was the theological logic of capitalism to come in the shadow of feudalism, then something new whether christian or something distinct can be the theological logic of what is to come after capitalism and more people feel that need every day even if they don't understand it.
I don't expect we will form a new religion here of course, but we can recognize the void that exists in people's lives currently, the need to fill that void that all humans have, and anticipate that it will be filled by something eventually. There have been many attempts, experiments, to forge an alternative to the status quo on religious grounds in the form of various cults, movements and intentional communities through the ages. We can learn from them when framing the theological vision and logic of what comes next. Many of us are not religious at all to say the least, and producing a new religious paradigm is likely not something that is done intentionally from a place of insincerity. Perhaps we may yet inspire the vision of future figures and movements as they form organically, and find in them the allies we need. It may be that an existing institution will transform into the vessel of the new message that will de-atomize and educate the scattered masses in ways conventional organizing struggles to do, to make them see beyond their PMC jobs and treats or across culture war bullshit. I don't want to exaggerate the merits of the Catholic Church or Pope Leo but as the conflict between him and the Trump administration increases, as Latin America is menaced and the Vatican is told by the Pentagon to "pick a side", there is a degree of potential to be found there even if it's an emerging leftward fringe of where he may ultimately allow the Church to be led.
Liberation Theology: The Secret Sauce the Western Left is Missing?
Within the West the left has a common circular conversation: We need to organize, we need a movement independent of liberal political parties, we need independent working class power. The common response: there's no sufficient labor movement, people are too atomized, they no longer live and work in proximity in ways that makes them easily reachable, existing platforms prevent dissemination of our message, etc.What if the people need to come together to be reached, and what if they get what they need for their liberation, and what they are missing in their lives under capitalism such as community aid and belonging, in a church?

Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites). The argument is very "physicalist" and relies on seeing nature as a totality in constant mutation.
HOWEVER, Lukacs seems to completely disregard this. Instead, his dialectics could be best described by the following : Any individual has multiple possibilities to realize his "teleological acts" (conscious acts aimed at satisfaction of desires/needs/sustenance etc). Alienation occurs when he is constrained by an external cause to choose a possibility unsatisfactory compared to others. As such, the dialectic is essentially a movement between the individual who attempts to overcome this alienation, which translates into class war (proletariat see capitalism as irrational for them, but are forced to endure it => conflict with the bourgeoisie).
So, which is it ? Lukacs' dialectics imo can be reconciled with Engels, but it makes the latter's work appear as very superficial.
Questions about dialectics
I recently started reading Lukacs's ontology of a social being and my whole understanding of dialectics has been flipped.Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites).

The American 'Proletariat' Does Not Exist
The American 'working class' produce zero surplus value through their net nonproductive labor and physically cannot sustain themselves due to deindustrialization. Each and every single lumpen settler owes more than forty trillion in exports to repay their debt to the rest of the planet and survives off the surplus labor of non-americans from Berlin to Siberia. Even ignoring the countless acts of terrorism committed by the burgereich, the consumerism of treats must end. As the pedotariat of epsteinland must work for several years and export to maybe repay even 30 percent of what occupied turtle island owes to the non-american surplus value producing global proletariat.Any strawman that does not address the largest trade deficit that will ever exist shall be ignored.

Recruiting is literally the biggest joke of all time. Genuinely when I attend recruiting events its like the most suffocating, artificial vibe i've ever seen in my life. Everyone, from the students, to the recruiters, to the professionals are faking everything. "Networking" is essentially just sucking up to whatever recruiter, manager, or employee you can find and bothering them with nothing burger emails. Recruiters probably get literally thousands of emails from students who all think they're special. Networking job fairs are filled to the brim with a bunch of sweaty peeople in suits trying to prostrate themselves the best for some dumb internship. Linkedin is just a cesspool of the most performative and fake characters of all time, In fact i'd say a good plurlity of all posts and job listings on linkedin are AI generated and fake. I genuinely can't wait until AI destroys white collar america and all the former Excel desk jockeys can be part of the revolutionary vanguard.

What you dismiss as "identity politics", as some minor irrelevant distraction from the revolution-to-be, is in fact the front lines of the very real and current Revolution. The Revolution is not some future external event like the Christian rapture, it is happening right now and has always been happening since the beginning of history. The Revolution takes place in the mind - the protests, the riots, the dissenting literature, all of those things are just outward expressions of it. And the Revolution has been slowly but surely succeeding, the Empire's grip gradually weakening day by day as the People gain more knowledge, learning things that cannot be unlearned, speaking truths that cannot be unspoken. Because real Truth is eternal and absolute, it cannot be corrupted and it stands on its own whereas lies are ephemeral and require continuous maintenance to sustain and eventually crumble under their own weight. Only a few decades ago, things like neurodivergence and homosexuality were treated as sicknesses to be eradicated and those who were "afflicted" with these so-called diseases were outcast from society and their voices were never heard and they themselves were conditioned to believe that they were worthless freaks of nature with no place in the world who must either conform or die. People with brown skin were conditioned to believe that they were subhuman savages biologically incapable of full-fledged humanity, that their place in the world was to be servile beasts of burden for the superior white race. Women were conditioned to believe that their sole purpose in life was to be brood mares for men. Trans/non-binary/intersex people were conditioned to believe that they were mentally deranged and their innermost beliefs about themselves were an elaborate self-induced hallucination. The pseudoscience that was invented to reinforce these ideas ultimately began to crumble, as lies always do, when true science emerged that refuted them and the only response that the Empire could muster was to deny the existence of reality entirely and retreat even further into solipsism. Someone is losing ground here.
You may find it difficult to empathize with these people and their struggles because it is someone else's ox being gored and not yours, but you need to remember that you are no different from they are, not really. They are human beings and you are a human being and all human lives are inexorably connected just like any other species of animal, regardless of what the Empire would have you believe. An attack on one human's autonomy is an attack on autonomy itself. And when people call attention to the possibility that you yourself may in fact be speaking from a position of privilege when you dismiss other people's struggles and concerns and you perceive it as an attack on your own identity, consider the possibility that perhaps your reaction might not be a logical reaction but a defensive kneejerk reaction, consider the possibility that your mind, like every mind, has been touched and manipulated to some extent by the Empire and that perhaps these people are not trying to attack you but trying to help you, trying to expand your intelligence, perhaps they don't see you as the enemy but as potential allies and they want you and need you on their side.
On "identity politics"
The counter-culture revolution did not end, it simply turned inward. After the 1970s it became clear that the Empire was far too vast and powerful to destroy through use of external force, so the counter-culture retreated and reformulated their strategy - instead of trying to liberate the world, they would liberate their own minds. Knowledge would be their weaponry, knowledge about the world but more importantly knowledge about themselves. Every lie they were programmed to believe about who they were and what their lives meant would be called into question, analyzed, deconstructed, traced back to its origins, and irrevocably refuted with undeniable logic and empirical evidence. When the Empire became aware of what they were doing it correctly interpreted this on an attack on its very foundations and predictably retaliated with its conventional tactics of violence and disinformation, thus began the Culture War that we now find ourselves in. But thus far the counterattack has been wild and flailing and largely ineffective, failing to identify a strategic target, the so-called "Woke Mind Virus" seeming to originate from everywhere at once with no central source. The Empire's greatest weakness is its inhumanity, its inability to see inside of the human mind and understand human psychology; the Empire is solipsistic and behaviorist, it does not recognize the human spirit, it only sees people as subordinate machines that must be conditioned to behave and obey. Nurse Ratched can stop the patients in the ward from watching the baseball game, but she cannot stop them from pretending to watch it and cheering and roaring in delight at a blank television screen.What you dismiss as "identity politics", as some minor irrelevant distraction from the revolution-to-be, is in fact the front lines of the very real and current Revolution. The Revolution is not some future external event like the Christian rapture, it is happening right now and has always been happening since the beginning of history.

You can identify the exact point at which Marxists start coping and treating their belief system as a religion. From the Preface of The Poverty of Philosophy on Marxists.org:
>The above application of the Ricardian theory that the entire social product belongs to the workers as their product, because they are the sole real producers, leads directly to communism. But, as Marx indeed indicates in the above-quoted passage, it is incorrect in formal economic terms, for it is simply an application of morality to economics. According to the laws of bourgeois economics, the greatest part of the product does not belong to the workers who have produced it. If we now say: that is unjust, that ought not to be so, then that has nothing immediately to do with economics. We are merely saying that this economic fact is in contradiction to our sense of morality. Marx, therefore, never based his communist demands upon this, but upon the inevitable collapse of the capitalist mode of production which is daily taking place before our eyes to an ever growing degree; he says only that surplus value consists of unpaid labour, which is a simple fact. But what in economic terms may be formally incorrect, may all the same be correct from the point of view of world history. If mass moral consciousness declares an economic fact to be unjust, as it did at one time in the case of slavery and statute labour, that is proof that the fact itself has outlived its day, that other economic facts have made their appearance due to which the former has become unbearable and untenable. Therefore, a very true economic content may be concealed behind the formal economic incorrectness. This is not the place to deal more closely with the significance and history of the theory of surplus value.
Marx never would have said this lol, this is plain magical thinking
Would Marx even be a communist if he were alive today?
Is the key flaw of Marxism that all of its predictions are bullshit? Why do communists feel like facts have to conform to their feelings when Marx never said that? Marx was never a moralfag and based his ideas in the fact he believed the collapse of Capitalism was inevitable. 200 years on, and it has not collapsed or led to any sort of successful socialist revolution.You can identify the exact point at which Marxists start coping and treating their belief system as a religion.

The vulnerability is called BlueHammer. On April 2nd the researcher posted the public disclosure on a personal blog, and on April 3rd the full exploit source code went live on GitHub. Both published under the alias Chaotic Eclipse, also known as Nightmare Eclipse, with a message to Microsoft's Security Response Center that comes down to: I told you this would happen.
Before getting into the technical side, there is a backstory here worth knowing.
In late March, the same researcher opened a blog with a single post explaining that they never wanted to come back to public research. Someone had made an agreement with them and then broke it, knowing exactly what the consequences would be. The post says it left the researcher without a home and with nothing. A week later, BlueHammer went live on GitHub with a message that specifically thanks MSRC leadership for making it necessary. That is not someone annoyed with a slow review process. That is someone with nothing left to lose.
* * * * *
Now to the exploit itself, because this one is genuinely worth understanding.
BlueHammer is not a traditional bug, and it does not need shellcode, memory corruption, or a kernel exploit to work. What it does is chain five completely legitimate Windows components together in a sequence that produces something their designers never intended. Those five components are Windows Defender, Volume Shadow Copy Service, the Cloud Files API, opportunistic locks, and Defender's internal RPC interface. One practical limitation worth knowing: the exploit needs a pending Defender signature update to be available at the time of the attack. Without one in the queue, the chain does not trigger. That makes it less reliable than a push-button exploit, but it does not make it safe to ignore.
Here is how the attack chain works.
When Defender runs an antivirus definition update, part of that process involves creating a temporary Volume Shadow Copy, which is the same snapshot mechanism Windows uses for backup and restore. That shadow copy contains files that are normally completely locked during regular operation, including the SAM database, which stores the password hashes for every local account on the machine.
BlueHammer registers itself as a Cloud Files sync provider, the same kind of thing that OneDrive or Dropbox uses to sync files. When Defender touches a specific file inside that folder, the exploit gets a callback and immediately places an opportunistic lock on that file. Defender stalls, blocked, waiting for a response that is never coming. The shadow copy it just created is still mounted. The window is open.
With Defender frozen in place, the exploit reads the SAM, SYSTEM, and SECURITY registry hives directly from the snapshot. It decrypts the stored NTLM password hashes using the boot key pulled from the SYSTEM hive, changes a local administrator account's password, logs in with that account, copies the administrator security token, pushes it to SYSTEM level, creates a temporary Windows service, and spawns a command prompt running as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Then, to cover its tracks, it puts the original password hash back. The local account password looks completely unchanged. No crash, no alert, nothing.
The whole chain runs in under a minute from a normal user session.
The Cloud Files provider name hardcoded in the exploit source code reads IHATEMICROSOFT. The administrator password used during the escalation is hardcoded as $PWNed666!!!WDFAIL. These are not bugs left in by accident. They are messages, written directly into the code, and there is only one intended reader.
Will Dormann, principal vulnerability analyst at Tharros, tested the exploit and confirmed it works well enough to be a real threat.
Microsoft has been cutting costs. Experienced analysts who knew how to look at a complex exploit and actually understand it have been replaced with staff following rigid process checklists. One of those checklist requirements is a video demonstration of the exploit. Researchers who refuse to make a video get their reports closed. Dormann said on Mastodon that he would not be surprised if Microsoft closed the case because the researcher refused to submit a video, since that has apparently become an MSRC requirement.
Microsoft's only public response to BlueHammer has been a statement about supporting coordinated vulnerability disclosure. Take a moment with that. The whole point of this situation is that Microsoft's own process broke the coordination. Responding to that by saying you support coordination is not an answer.
Microsoft pushed a Defender signature update that detects the original BlueHammer binary as Exploit:Win32/DfndrPEBluHmr.BB. That signature does not fix the vulnerability. It flags the compiled sample from the published source code. Recompile the same code with any small change and Defender does not flag it at all. The detection catches that one specific file. The technique itself, which runs entirely through normal Windows components doing exactly what they were built to do, stays completely undetected. Until Microsoft fixes the root cause, a signature is not protection.
The Howler Cell research team at Cyderes fixed the bugs in the original PoC and ran the full exploit against patched Windows 10 and 11. It works. SYSTEM shell from a restricted user session in under a minute.
There is still no CVE and no patch. The exploit code is public, the GitHub repository already has more than 100 forks and nearly 300 stars, multiple researchers have fixed the original bugs and confirmed it works, and ransomware groups and APT actors tend to pick up public LPE code and put it to use within days of it going live.
* * * * *
Here is what to do right now.
Monitor for VSS enumeration coming from regular user processes. Calls to NtQueryDirectoryObject targeting HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy objects from anything outside of backup or system tooling is a red flag with almost no innocent explanation.
Watch for Cloud Files sync root registration by unknown processes. CfRegisterSyncRoot being called from anything other than OneDrive, Dropbox, or Box is worth checking immediately. That call is exactly how BlueHammer sets up its trap.
Alert on low-privileged processes creating Windows services or grabbing SYSTEM-level tokens. BlueHammer uses CreateService to briefly register a malicious service during the escalation, and that shows up in EDR telemetry.
Watch for quick back-to-back password changes on local administrator accounts. BlueHammer resets the password, uses it, then resets it back. Security event IDs 4723 and 4724 firing twice in quick succession on the same account does not have a normal explanation.
Keep permissions tight. BlueHammer needs a local session to run, so every permission a standard user does not actually need is attack surface that can be removed.
Keep watching Microsoft security advisories for a patch. When it comes, treat it as high priority.
Windows Defender Is Being Used to Hack Windows
Windows Defender, the built-in antivirus running on every Windows machine, has a working zero-day exploit with full source code sitting on GitHub. No patch, no CVE, and confirmed working on fully updated Windows 10 and 11. A researcher who says Microsoft went back on their word just handed every attacker paying attention a privilege escalation that takes any low-privileged account straight to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. On Windows Server the result is different but still serious: a standard user ends up with elevated administrator access.The vulnerability is called BlueHammer. On April 2nd the researcher posted the public disclosure on a personal blog, and on April 3rd the full exploit source code went live on GitHub. Both published under the alias Chaotic Eclipse, also known as Nightmare Eclipse, with a message to Microsoft's Security Response Center that comes down to: I told you this would happen.

The Malian transitional government said Friday it was withdrawing its recognition of the pro-independence Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic as part of its backing for the Moroccan plan, which has growing support from African allies, the Trump administration in the U.S. and most European Union members. … The resolution referred to Morocco’s plan as a basis for negotiation. As with similar resolutions in previous years, the text made no mention of a referendum on self-determination that includes independence as an option, which is the solution long favored by the pro-independence Polisario Front and its allies, including Algeria, Russia, and China.

Batman Beyond Yeah, Batman is a billionaire who has kids running around in tights in his mansion and beats up environmentalists and poor people. But I'll always love the gimmicks and his "rouge's gallery" has the best gimmicks.
Batman Beyond he's not rich he's just a regular kid living in a much cooler dystopia than the one we wound up with. The animation and voice acting are both top notch.
Gargoyles- From the same animation bloc, with some legendary voice acting from Keith David, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes. A very 'serious' show that Disney wants us to forget that they ever produced.
ReBoot Ever what wonder what life inside a computer would be like if all the 0s and 1s were sentient? Well, a show like this will make a tech nerd scream but it's one of several quality early 3d CGI coming out of Canada during this period.
Animaniacs It's honestly amazing how much SFW 'adult' humor was snuck into these shows. I think I learned more about popculture from Wakko, Yakko, and Dot than anywhere else.
The SlayersThe first "real" anime I saw and it got me interested in anime and d&d style worlds.Pretty thought out lore and universe.
So what are yours comradanons
Nostalgia cartoons that hold up
I was watching a cartoon from my child and realized that the saturday morning cartoon generation lucked out. Other than some outliers like avatar or adventuretime, the good stuff was 90s-early naughty aughties. This is not just nostalgia but demonstrably true as merch from these cartoons is still popular as ever for kids. I work as a substitute teacher and they still watch our old cartoons and it's actually super weird, I didn't watch captain kangaroo or whatever boomer crap my mom watched when i was a kid.Batman Beyond Yeah, Batman is a billionaire who has kids running around in tights in his mansion and beats up environmentalists and poor people. But I'll always love the gimmicks and his "rouge's gallery" has the best gimmicks.

It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one. It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that. I had more fun with Devil's Third of all games.
Games the chuds tricked you into buying
With the amount of shill threads about Stellar Blade I kept seeing on 4chan /v/ saying it was a "decent action game" I ended up buying it along with some other games for my brother's birthday last year (at great expense as it's a modern video game and all). He never touched it so I finally gave the demo a go myself to see if it was worth the hype.It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one.

R: 24 / I: 4 >>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.

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.

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".
Historical overview: ML-MZT vs MLM vs M3W
The replies of thread>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.

if you live in the imperial core
the best thing you can do is join a clandestine vanguard organization where you can sabotage imperialism from within and serve as useful collaborators for liberating forces when the time comes. “Communist” parties in America are either completely irrelevant cults focused on idpol, federal honeypots that collaborate with the Dems, or in the case of CPUSA both, and they will receive the least amount of leniemcy up there with politicians and financial bourgeoisie

29th Farkha Festival in Palestine 2026 –
Fighting against Genocide and Apartheid
Summer 2026 in Farkha/ West Bank, Palestine
March 13, 2026
Dear Comrades and Friends,
the Festival Committee, the Youth of the Palestinian People Party (former Palestinian Communist Party), and Albad Cultural Center have decided that despite, or rather because of, the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine, a Farkha Festival will take place this year. Because resistance means life.
We invite you to participate in one week of volunteer work, political discussions and workshops about the Palestinian struggles towards liberation and justice and the right of self determination, struggles of Palestinian women, left perspectives and cultural activities in the village of Farkha in Palestine.
The 29th edition of the Farkha Festival will be held in August 2026. Before the festival starts we will organize a three day long political tour to places and regions of resistance in Palestine to learn more about concrete local struggles directly from political activists and organizations on the ground, in order to know more how to continue the internationalist struggle.
Farkha Festival is rooted in and inspired by the work of the communist leader Tawfeeq Zayyad, a national poet and politician who was elected mayor of Nazareth in 1973. Tawfeeq played a key role in pressuring the occupation government to end its repression towards Palestinians – those who remained in their homes after the Nakba „1948 war„ and now live inside Israel. Because Tawfeeq tried to bring about change from within, he was constantly threatened by the occupying forces, his projects for the community of Nazareth were rejected, and his funding was significantly cut. Nevertheless, he managed to gather thousands of people every year to organize volunteer festivals in Nazareth and, with the help of the volunteers’ labor, to implement the Nazareth municipality’s plans without much state funding.
After having taken part in volunteer festivals in Nazareth, comrades brought the idea back home to Farkha. The Farkha Festival, has since focused on the collective works in the village, in renovating the main school, kinder gardens, and the public spaces, also trying to protect the lands threatened from confiscation, and a joint work in the ecological community garden project “Qamr Al-Balad” and has set itself the goal of linking precisely political struggles for liberation in Palestine with other local and international struggles, as well as with issues of environmental and climate justice. This includes the promotion of sustainable ecological agriculture, the cultivation of native plants and the passing on of this knowledge to the next generation, as well as the political debate on women’s rights, gender relations and decolonial struggles. With this spirit and tradition of resistance we want to invite you to join our resistance to dismantle the Israeli regime of genocide and settler colonialism in Palestine.
Farkha Festival has always been a place of international solidarity with the struggling Palestinian people, but also with struggles around the world – whether in occupied Kurdistan, occupied Western Sahara, the Basque country or elsewhere.
We are looking forward to welcome you!

So, it appears that despite the most common assumptions, labour "aristocratic"/well paid workers can and have been notable partecipants in the class struggle, everywhere from Italy to Chile and from the UK to South Africa
> The most important counter-example is the Russian working class in the early 20th century. The backbone of Lenin’s Bolsheviks (something he was most definitely aware of) were the best paid industrial workers in the Russian cities – skilled machinists in the largest factories. Lower paid workers, such as the predominantly female textile workers, were generally either unorganized or apolitical (until the beginnings of the revolution) or supported the reformist Mensheviks.
> German Communism became a mass movement when tens of thousands of well-paid metal workers left the Independent Socialists and joined the Communists in 1921. The French and Italian Communists also became mass parties through the recruitment of thousands of machinists who led the mass strikes of the postwar period. These highly paid workers were also overrepresented in the smaller Communist parties of the United States and Britain.
> In Chile between 1970 and 1973, and Argentina between 1971 and 1974, copper miners and metal workers engaged in industrial struggles and took the lead in mass mobilizations against the military and the right. In Brazil, it was the well-paid metal workers in the suburbs of San Paolo who led mass strikes in the 1970s that created the CUT
> it was the highest paid Black workers in South Africa – in mining, auto, steel – whose struggles in the 1970s created the radical and militant FOSATU trade union confederation.

Civilians under fire by gangs in Gaza: What happened in Maghazi?
The Gaza Centre for Human Rights claims that Israel is increasingly supporting these groups to carry out operations within densely populated camps and neighbourhoods. It said armed drones provided direct support on Monday, firing heavily and randomly into alleys in the camp to aid the armed men’s withdrawal. The centre added that it has documented previous violence by these groups, including looting of aid convoys, kidnappings, torture and killings, with cover or support from the Israeli army.

Israel kills at least 254 people in massive wave of strikes across Lebanon
Hours before the attacks, the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire based on an Iranian proposal that included halting attacks on Lebanon. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who otherwise approved the ceasefire – was quick to assert that the agreement did not cover Lebanon. Later on Wednesday, Trump also appeared to confirm that Lebanon was not part of the deal, saying it was instead a "separate skirmish".

‘We’re new miyas’: Will BJP naming some Assamese Muslims ‘Indigenous’ work?
On the morning of March 14, bulldozers descended on Islampur, a predominantly Muslim neighbourhood in Bongora on the outskirts of Guwahati, the main city in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. For the next four hours, more than three dozen bulldozers razed down homes, including Ali’s, rendering 400 families homeless from 177 hectares (437 acres) of land allegedly protected for Assam’s Indigenous people under a state government law.

Chile’s far-right government rips up plan for memorial at Pinochet torture site
The housing minister, Iván Poduje, claimed that expropriating the site would have cost more than $50m, although he did not provide evidence to support the claim. The ministries of housing and justice declined to comment further on their plans. … Villa Baviera will remain in the hands of the current landowners, a mixture of the descendants of the original German settlers and Chilean families who moved to the area, with Chile’s opposition criticising the move to scrap expropriation plans entirely rather than pause them.

Nuclear family abolitionists, what is the retort to this?
Recently came across these tweets. Often I've seen folk argue that the nuclear family structure is inherently abusive and tied to capital, while others, including these tweets, argue that biological parents are the least likely to sexually abuse, unlike that of extended families/communal rearing. Are these stats any accurate at all? Discuss.

It is the status quo of the majority of the world population being turned retarded-submissive by abstract religiosity and contempt with its decay. To synthesize decay and growth or present decay as growth in an attempt to paint oneself a "socialist" or "progressive force" is to lie for closure.
As Il Duche himself wrote before opportunistically clinging to the catholic church in Italy for politician gains - God Does Not Exist, so we affirm his essay. Luddic left liberalism and leftism as the bourgeois liberalism it will always be - is always reactionary and the road of religiosity and negation. Reactionism will always be against the notion of revolutions, a reactionary revolution or a conservative revolution can be nothing less than Adolf Hitler's rise.
Call for the liquidation of religiosity and not its synthesis and integration within the movement against the present state of things, it is a part of the present state that has plagued civilization since all previous modes of production and continuing in liberal "secular" capitalism. Deny entryists. A "religious socialist" is either a confused socialist in need of psychiatric help or a religious reactionary posing as socialist.
A religious "socialist" is only a re-branding in name of the same feudal bullshit that has stagnated and appropriated human development for itself. To quote Marx himself:
>Nothing is easier than to give Christian asceticism a Socialist tinge. Has not Christianity declaimed against private property, against marriage, against the State? Has it not preached in the place of these,charity and poverty, celibacy and mortification of the flesh, monastic life and Mother Church? Christian Socialism is but the holy water with which the priest consecrates the heart-burnings of the aristocrat.
You have to be utterly retarded and a desperate popular-frontist, class collaborationist retarded jewish nigger to legitimize this, to legitimize it means that you are illegitimate yourself, you are a liberal lumpen or bourgeois collaborating with the reactionary forces. Fuck your liberal-tion theology. All of you go from cradle to grave with the end of this mode of production and remain in soil.
On contradictory "synthesis"
The relation between religious retards and their disillusionment with the world coming to bring their baggage while demanding change from the real movement that has already done its hundreds of years' worth of material analysis to explain the phenomena occurring by atheist anti-theist might, to come and label onself as "christian, muslim, jewish, pagan socialist-esque" or even worse an "anarchist" clinging to the niche of creative writings, seeking legitimacy and to be legitimized of ones' metaphysical supersititous retardation gives no room for development of the real movement, it stagnates it as a retrograde aesthetic tending towards reactionary stillness in life - a status quo of demanding to preserve feudal and pre-feudal mythos when the movement is trying to bring workers to view reality for what it really is, all conceptions of GOD, GODS, SPIRITS, DEITIES and such being man-made as words and remaining solely as conceptions with addendum of personal experiences always unexplained as "feelings" - trying to mitigate research and development by situations presented in such a way that they inherently deny rationale.It is the status quo of the majority of the world population being turned retarded-submissive by abstract religiosity and contempt with its decay.

You can read them through Nick Land instead of reading from D&G to Land, its like faster that way, you don't need to understand any of it, its not analysis its creating concepts, that's what Deleuze called philosophy - the discipline of creating concepts / ideas (sic).
Watch the word-plays, language games, read Wittgenstein, same shit as "order-words". Watch it.

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).

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, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!

Nations will stop existing under communism, under communism, the globe will be defined by sectors for the sole purpose of administration, sectors defined by the grid panel composed of meridians and parallels with small compromises of a few kilometes so cities aren't split in two. The idea of nation, culture, borders and so on are going to be labeled as reactionary and any and all individuals or groups that decide to fight this will be shot. The concept of "indigenous populations" and "natives" are going to be an irrelevant thing of the past, and people will be transfered between sectors every so often and as labour requirements demand.

This is incorrect as, while America is a settler-colonial state, nonetheless was founded on the basis of enlightenment principles like equality before the law and liberty, considering how the American and French revolutions at the time were leftist at the time of the events, with the notion of equality of men itself being already extremely radical at a time when absolute monarchies were the standard in Europe. That’s not all, as contrary to popular opinion the Founding Fathers themselves weren’t conservative. Whether it’s the lack of any mention specifying the USA as a “white Christian country” founded on the basis of theology in the constitution and the federalist papers, George Washington himself coming to oppose slavery before the abolitionist movement began to gain momentum, many of said fathers being at best deists or nominally Christian, the USA being effectively the first democratic republic in history with limited suffrage being a short-lived experiment that was swept away in favour of universal male suffrage, Thomas Jefferson himself owning a copy of the Quran and a version of the Bible excised of all supernatural elements and among other examples show that the USA was far from the hotbed of reactionary politics both liberals and chuds tend to portray it as. Even the Indian Removal Act that led to the infamous “Trail of Tears” wasn’t unanimously agreed upon, with strong opposition by Christian missionaries and other politicians who opposed it based on the shared humanity and parity between white settlers Native Americans. Indeed, while such ideals coexisted with institutionalised inequality, it is precisely by appealing to those founding ideals unique to America's foundations that movements like MLK's civil rights was even possible. Indeed, had it not been for America, most of the progressive movements in other parts of the west wouldn't even exist (e.g., Germany's gay liberation movement, extirpated by nazism and only resurged in the postwar period because of the rise of America's gay rights movement.)
So it’s no wonder given all this that, despite the reproduction of reactionary politics like Manifest Destiny and Jim Crow laws, the notion of equality (or pretence to it) persisted throughout American history, which laid the seeds for the civil rights, feminist, and gay rights movements of the contemporary era. And I would argue that it is said notion that distinguishes the American project from other settler-colonies that were more explicit on their racial/ethnic/theological basis, such as Argentina, Australia, Canada, and of course, Israel.
It should also be noted that the USA, for all of its faults, isn’t currently segregating Native Americans from mainstream American society via a state-sponsored countrywide system of racial segregation, nor bombing every Indian reserve and sponsoring white Americans (immigrant or not) to steal land from indigenous people and kicking out of their home by force. So, one could counter-argue that it’s a difference of ‘degrees of coloniality’ rather than absence of it. But I digress. Not to peddle Whig history slop, but it’s undeniable that America was founded on a notion of equality between races and faiths that is completely absent in contrast to the founding of Israel.
Israel just isn’t analogous to America, especially given how Israel both defines itself in particularist ethno-centric ways and has a theological basis that America lacks, as well as how Israeli settler-colonialism follows along the models of standard European colonialism combined with state terrorism both against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza (to the point that Israel is engaging in genocide there). So while the USA isn’t currently engaging in genocide against its natives, the same can’t be said for Israel and its society, where the grand majority of Israelis are effectively kahanists per the latest opinion polls. And that goes for the entire political right and most of the political left in Israel, so let that sink in.
From a leftist standpoint, it can be said that settler-colonialism in the Americas played a historically progressive role in developing productive forces, while simultaneously producing deeply reactionary social relations. The same cannot be said of modern Israeli settler-colonialism, which does not represent a transition to a higher mode of production, but rather a reproduction of imperial domination in a more concentrated form. Ultimately, the claim that “Israel is just like America” obscures more than it reveals. Both are products of colonial history, but they occupy different positions within the global capitalist system. Recognizing this distinction allows for a clearer analysis of imperialism today, especially as Palestinians (unlike the indigenous peoples of the Americas) had their own conception of private property alongside their own bourgeoisie that predates the Balfour Declaration.
Now, if we had to give the closest western analogue, that would be Australia. Back when he was just a war-mongering liberal instead of a war-mongering white nationalist radlib, Drew Pavlou debated (and lost) against neo-nazi Joel Davis on immigration, with Joel making the interesting point that Australia was ran as a white nationalist colonial state and that the founding fathers of Australia and its past PMs were under no delusion that Australia was anything more than a white nationalist state, the “White Australia Policy” being the formalisation of such ideals into law. Indeed, since the dominion’s government lacked any significant armed opposition on the part of Aboriginals of Australia, it can be said that the current Australian policies towards mass immigration and multiculturalism were less about equality than they were about chasing after cheap labor per the needs of the capitalist elites and perhaps tailing after America. The same can be said in the cases of the republic of Argentina and the dominion of Canada, both of which were ran explicitly as white nationalist states, albeit with special emphasis on their links with their metropoles (formerly Spain and currently the UK/France, respectively), the liberalisations of immigration laws and moves towards a less racially-exclusionary definition of their identities only occurring in the late 20th century long after the US did the same.
All in all: There’s nothing inconsistent between being an anti-Zionist and being an American patriot on the basis of opposition to genocide and anti-imperialism. It's best not to give zionists more ammo, as it is a common hasbara talking point to equate Israeli settler-colonialism with America's one, and thus equivocate all critiques of zionism as being implicitly anti-American.

P.S.: I’m not trying to make apologetics for American atrocities then and now, I’m simply pointing out the need to fight against the attempts of both Hasbara mockingbird media and misguided anti-zionists to equivocate American history with Israeli history to sway American public opinion on Israel’s favor. Unless you think America as a nation is in any way redeemable, then you might as well give up on agitating for revolution in America and just go to another country. What more can I say?
On Settler-Colonialism: America vs Israel
I see a lot of talk concerning how Israel should be supported by the USA and European countries for various reasons and, notably, none of them concern with material benefits for either native Europeans or long-time American citizens, instead focusing on abstractions and ideals. As Trump has led the USA into another forever war with Iran (at the behest of Israel, per the words of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio), it is pertinent to talk about a common anti-Zionist talking point that I find counterproductive. Namely: Israel’s colonialism is the same as that of American settle colonialism from the late 18th century to the early 20th century.This is incorrect as, while America is a settler-colonial state, nonetheless was founded on the basis of enlightenment principles like equality before the law and liberty, considering how the American and French revolutions at the time were leftist at the time of the events, with the notion of equality of men itself being already extremely radical at a time when absolute monarchies were the standard in Europe.

Access to these sites - some of which are logistical hubs and not necessarily active bases - is tightly controlled by both the Pentagon and the Gulf states themselves: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman. Last month, they banned the photography and dissemination of any videos of missiles in their skies, leading many to speculate whether the motive was to shield US bases as they launched attacks on Iran.

The delegation was headed by Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya, who pushed for the advancement of the agreement. The development comes as mediators seek to contain escalating tensions and the potential collapse of the truce, which came into effect on 10 October.

Serbia expected to launch drone production with Elbit Systems
Serbian authorities are allegedly planning to launch a drone factory in partnership with Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems through the state-owned Jugoimport-SDPR. According to recent media reports, the production plan involves short- and long-range drones, not unlike those used by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza genocide.

German defence minister U-turns on men needing permission from military to travel abroad
Following public uproar Mr Pistorius said on Wednesday that “everyone is, of course, free to travel and does not currently need permission to do so.” The use of “currently” suggests Berlin may revoke the concession, either if Germany enters a war or it fails to increase the size of the military from 180,000 to 260,000 as planned through voluntary recruitment alone.

Argentina approves glacier law reform, opens previously protected areas to mining
Argentina's Chamber of Deputies passed a reform of the National Glacier Law in the early hours of Thursday, an initiative pushed by President Javier Milei's government that reduces the scope of environmental protections in the Andean cordillera and opens previously restricted areas to mining. The vote was 137 in favor, 111 against and 3 abstentions, after more than eleven hours of debate in a special session. The bill had already been approved by the Senate.

Venezuela police clash with protesters demanding salary rises
Unions and workers complain of "starvation wages" which have been frozen since 2022. Jesus Godoy, who devoted over 20 years to public service, showed an AFP reporter two 100-bolivar bills in his pocket, equivalent to about 40 US cents, saying: "I don't even have enough for a packet of flour."

US military bases in Gulf 'useless' after Iranian strikes, experts sayAccess to these sites - some of which are logistical hubs and not necessarily active bases - is tightly controlled by both the Pentagon and the Gulf states themselves: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman. Last month, they banned the photography and dissemination of any videos of missiles in their skies, leading many to speculate whether the motive was to shield US bases as they launched attacks on Iran.

I reached mid 20s with barely any experience, autism made sure of that. Kissed a drunk lesbian once, I don't even think I looked that cute for a guy in his 20s, so I was honored more than anything. Broke up a friendship with a trans girl after some hasty choices, but she was crazy anyways. Now focusing on friends, making and deepening them.
Wish I had a man I understood and was understood by, someone light-hearted and whimsical to have fun with on the short time I have here on Earth. Femboy-ish ig, not masculine, but takes care of himself, with a touch of femininity to him. Impartial on sex, willing to do it, might be fun even.
One thing I like is the idea of relations as temporary, serial monogamy if you will. I'm all for loyalty while in a relation, but that doesn't necessarily mean it must be forever and ever. People change, why shouldn't their relations? Admittedly I do see the romance in a lifelong relation, sticking with someone and changing together with them. Besides looking for a new partner every x amount of years sounds exhausting.

So, assume for this thread that by "ruling class," we mean the political active faction of the owning class (bourgeoisie) who, for the most part, would rather just sit on their butts and receive stock dividends. The ruling class itself controls the media apparatus, corporation, and politics of the western world.
I bring this up because I'm about to read "DuPont Dynasty: Beyond the Nylon Curtain" a book so damning that the DuPonts attempted to buy every copy of it and now the price for a hardcopy is over $500 (I'm getting mine from the library)
The DuPonts are a family of chemical manufacturing magnates who are largely responsible for the state of Delaware being a tax haven for corporations today. I know they've had a hand in deregulation and stifling reports of asbestos toxicity, but I hope to learn more from the book.
Robert H. Richards IV, a Dupont Heir, was found guilty in 2014 of raping his own daughter and as punishment had to attend rehabilitation (which he never did) and got labelled as a sex offender. He also molested his own son repeatedly and despite his ex-wife's best efforts did not face any legal repercussions for doing so.
In the US, some of the most notable ruling class families are the Astors, Rockefellars, DuPonts, Kennedys, Guggenheims, Rothschilds, Fords, Vanderbilts, Morgans, and Bushes. Not all of them are American but the capitalist class is transnational. There are others. Some, like the Vanderbilts, have largely lost their fortune but due to intermarriage with other families (except notably the Rothschilds who favor inbreeding) they have managed to maintain some power. Anderson Cooper is a vanderbilt to give you an example of how far they have fallen–even the haute bourgeoisie are not immune to proletarianization.

Granted, I never lived in the part of “Europe“ people talk about when using the term (which usually refers to just north-west Europe), but I do think Americans’ perception of what modern European countries (particularly those west of the Berlin Wall) are very distorted. For the sake of argument, I’ll be focusing on the EU.
For starters, both world wars and the instability of the European spring of 1848 has led to a lack of development of negative rights as well as the notion to more democracy = censorship, which is why censorship is more normalised in Europe than in America which has the first amendment. The biggest example would be the ECHR’s article 10 which makes it clear that freedom of speech isn’t absolute, which is a good example of how illiberal tendencies can exist in a seemingly “liberal” land. On the top of that, inequality is high in Europe, especially in terms of the holding power of the former aristocratic classes on European politic. As an example, Britain still has appointed lords even though the nobles’ powers have diminished a long ago, and by the time the French Revolution ended most of the aristocrats assimilated themselves into France’s political machine, whilst in Scandinavia wealth inequality is high.
As for racism, I would say that Europe is worst based on both data and personal experience. Remember Shiloh Hendrix? Well, if she did the same thing she did but in any European country, no one would bat an eye. Remember, hate speech laws are just lawfare, they’re not about “protecting minorities“ as its supporters claim. But it’s not just the micro level since hiring discrimination and lack of access to meaningful resources means many immigrants that weren’t wealthy on arrival (e.g., expats) are stuck on welfare and meagre wage or none. This in contrast to America where immigrants are treated better socially in spite of the lack of fringe benefits like universal healthcare.
I mean, Denmark is robbing refugees as a deterrent policy, France is suppressing Islamic religiosity while letting tradCaths scot-free (at least from an outsiders’ POV) to enforce its concept of state secularism (i.e., laïcité) which stands at odds with Americans’ conception of religious freedom. Many of these things (courtesy of Europe’s PMC) would be controversial among American leftists if done in America since it would remind them of the problems they see at home, further underscoring how nonsensical their glazing of Europe is.
And now, for foreign policy: Besides being partners-in-crime with the American empire, certain EU countries maintain their own formal empires such as France’s franceafrique and Quebec as well as its overseas territories, Britain with its commonwealth like Canada, and Denmark with Greenland.
As for domestic policy? Besides Starmer doing Trumpian cuts on the much-vaulted British welfare system, other European countries committing to austerity in order to boost their own war machines, as well as seeing European reactionaries managing to get second place in their latest elections (e.g., Portugal with Chega, Germany with AfD, etc…) or win them outright (e.g., my own country with the “post-fascist” FdI, or Sweden with a righ-to-centre-right coalition supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats), Europe is far from the progressive paradise Americans imagine it to be.
Culture? If the fact that the Democratic Party (the American party of the bourgeoisie) doing well in many European polls isn’t a big tell, then I‘ll spell it out to you: European culture in general is very bourgeois, with the populace being enthralled with everything bourgeois.
This is more noticeable in north-west Europe, unlike in the poorer parts of the EU across its southern & eastern members which is more subtle but still there. You’ll notice this whenever they talk about America in general, where the venomous parts aren‘t just for the US government but also for Americans as a people. in fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it’s a form of classism since in contrast to European/EU culture, that of the USA is very prole-coded and has been so for a long time, and I think part of the friction between Europeans and Americans has a lot to do with American culture being relatively egalitarian for all of its faults. At least, that’s what I think.
Special mention doesn’t end at the welfare state (which is actually not socialist, but capitalist and has often served as a means to stave off any proletarian revolt since it was often pushed by religious Christians in 19th and 20th century Europe to reduce the power of socialist and more radical labor movements), but at the fact that the EU’s constitution and its legislation on private property means that it’s impossible to be a socialist, let alone communist, EU member legally.
Now that the blockade of the strait of Hormuz is set to be worse than both of the 1970s energy crises, one wonders if the cargo-cult-level worship will continue on even as both Britain and the EU will become more totalitarian and fascist in the coming decades regardless of the incumbent government. I mean, Europeans in general are already “arabising” insofar that wignat-levels of retarded reactionary politics based on accomplishments that are becoming increasingly irrelevant is already becoming popular across the EU and post-Brexit UK, so it’s hard to say if American leftists will start to look over China for inspiration, or continue to worship the capitalist welfare states of Scandinavia or not.
With all that said, the question remains: Why do American leftists (particularly socdems and shitlibs) glaze over Europe/EU, and do they still do that?
Why do Burger leftoids worship the EU
Heads up: I’m Italian, and as such I’m genuinely fascinated by how often American leftists have an utopian view of Europe, supposedly for its egalitarian and “socialist” policies, which actually runs counter to my experience. They might as well be the EU’s strongest soldier, believing in the EU more than the average European.Granted, I never lived in the part of “Europe“ people talk about when using the term (which usually refers to just north-west Europe), but I do think Americans’ perception of what modern European countries (particularly those west of the Berlin Wall) are very distorted. For the sake of argument, I’ll be focusing on the EU.
For starters, both world wars and the instability of the European spring of 1848 has led to a lack of development of negative rights as well as the notion to more democracy = censorship, which is why censorship is more normalised in Europe than in America which has the first amendment. The biggest example would be the ECHR’s article 10 which makes it clear that freedom of speech isn’t absolute, which is a good example of how illiberal tendencies can exist in a seemingly “liberal” land. On the top of that, inequality is high in Europe, especially in terms of the holding power of the former aristocratic classes on European politic. As an example, Britain still has appointed lords even though the nobles’ powers have diminished a long ago, and by the time the French Revolution ended most of the aristocrats assimilated themselves into France’s political machine, whilst in Scandinavia wealth inequality is high.
As for racism, I would say that Europe is worst based on both data and personal experience. Remember Shiloh Hendrix? Well, if she did the same thing she did but in any European country, no one would bat an eye. Remember, hate speech laws are just lawfare, they’re not about “protecting minorities“ as its supporters claim. But it’s not just the micro level since hiring discrimination and lack of access to meaningful resources means many immigrants that weren’t wealthy on arrival (e.g., expats) are stuck on welfare and meagre wage or none. This in contrast to America where immigrants are treated better socially in spite of the lack of fringe benefits like universal healthcare.

Certainly didn't expect the show to dwelve into such deep topics, let alone have a conjugal rape scene in it's first episode.
Looking forward to seeing more of it, and more especially of how far the nihon society criticism will go for once. Hopefully very far.
