/leftypol/ Ordinances
Hello /leftypol/ users. This is a thread to post ordinances, i.e. ad hoc rules voted on by the modocracy, which are not covered explicitly by the rules in rules.html, though most are arguably applications or clarifications of actions prohibited by the existing rules. Any posts violating these ordinances will be removed, and possibly banned at the mods discretion. This post will be periodically updated to reflect new ordinances, or to remove old ones.- H*z is banned.

Perhaps it's wrong to make these assumptions about leftypol and culture there is different, but mainstream left is just obsessed with nerfing itself and putting down its members like a crab bucket.
Why are leftist circles so averse to participating in capitalism?
I know there's a literal shop thread pinned (based), but generally entrepreneurship is super shunned even though it's the fastest way to get rich and have at least some degree of influence in this world. You're using crypto to escape bank cabals? Bad, bad crypto bro. Trying to 10x your productivity with AI? Very very bad AI bro, pick up the pen and keep your head low while corporations rabidly pour money into AI research without any threat of getting cancelled.Perhaps it's wrong to make these assumptions about leftypol and culture there is different, but mainstream left is just obsessed with nerfing itself and putting down its members like a crab bucket.

Since becoming a collaborator, I've come to appreciate and respect the reality behind the farcical untruths on the subjects of racial politics, gender and the like. The purpose of the prevailing ideology is to weaponize the most worthless and parasitic scum into stormtroopers for the psychopaths capable of lying and acting consistently. The ideology thereby becomes a rallying cry both for the incompetent client class and their ambitious patrons who siphon from the productives to feed them. If you're smart, YOU could be one of the winners in this game.
Comrade, why haven't you joined the regime yet? You're like 80% aligned with the ideology already. Just make an unprincipled exception on things like Palestine and you're good.
The Neoliberal Establishment Wants YOU
I used to be a reactionary until I realized that working class white people are fundamentally incapable of organizing for their collective interests. Conservatives lose because its an alliance between illegitimate grifters who are inevitably exposed as such by a media establishment bent on doing so, and a bunch of retarded proles who care more about "values" and "principles" than actually taking power collectively and holding onto it. The only time proles get even a fraction of their conservative agenda met is by electing a dictator, and the modern goyim are incapable of this.Since becoming a collaborator, I've come to appreciate and respect the reality behind the farcical untruths on the subjects of racial politics, gender and the like.

The bourgeois family–the family as it exists today–is creepy as fuck. Every parent I've known develops some bizarre predilection with their child's sexuality, which stems from a sense of ownership over the child. You don't "own" your child. You're mandated by state to raise them.
The fact so many people view children as a burden is exactly why we need to annihilate the bourgeois family. And folks with kids don't feel any different, and they treat their kids accordingly. Raise kids in state-run boarding schools. Let people who like kids raise them.

No it doesn't. Zionists want to redirect all funding to Ukraine to Israel instead. Likely they're gearing up for a war with Iran and don't want the US to have other military considerations.
>"Donald Trump makes the Zios seethe!"
Trump is an agent of Chabad-Lubavitch and the Russian-Jewish mafia. The Russia connection was actually real along, only that the liberals left out the detail of the very Jewish nature of this connection.
There's a new political axis forming with the USA-Israel-Russia, and the thing that binds it together is Chabad. This is the actual, real Jewish power in the world today, not some liberal Jewish comedian. Hell, Trump's own children became Jewish through Chabad.
What's more important to understand is that the whole schizo Christian nationalism right wing is firmly controlled by this Zionist power, and it's weaponising it.
But don't expect Hinkle, Haz, or Maupin to touch this subject with a 50 ft pole.

For those not aware of this, the US police force has faced legitimized defunding, riots, and has been blamed directly for insinuating dozens of race riots for the past century that have left upwards of hundreds of people dead. Regardless of your stance on American race politics and police violence, the US police force is ultimately blamed for most of this violence specifically because it’s the direct cause for most of this oddly specific form of it. The US federal government overtime grew increasingly intolerant of the US police force’s actions specifically because that behaviour of that institution does legitimately put the national security of the country as a whole st risk, and the US federal government cannot risk any more instances of mass violence breaking out in a time where the USA is weaker politically than ever. The fact that a single cop fucking up badly with showing restraint towards black Americans is enough to send the entire country in a frenzy is enough of a scare to the US federal government to mandate cops to just “fuck off and leave them be.”
Since the George Floyd riots, the US police force has seen funding cuts, some divisions entirely defunded, and many more reorganized specifically to avoid insinuating any more violence that could jeapordize the safety of the country.
Does this mean that the US police force has completely professionalized and stopped engaging in police brutality? No. Does this mean that us cops have suddenly become less racist? Sort of, but no. Does this mean that African Americans stopped being victims of police violence? To an extent, but a better answer is simply much less than before. And there’s a lesson to all of this.

Actions and violent consequences work
To the idealists on this site, violence does work. Despite how hard it is to believe this, African Americans have become the least likely people to experience police violence within the United States. Why? The reasons are complicated, but it boils down to face saving on the part of the us police force.For those not aware of this, the US police force has faced legitimized defunding, riots, and has been blamed directly for insinuating dozens of race riots for the past century that have left upwards of hundreds of people dead.

I'm a dude, but I dont like masculinity at all. I want to be more feminine and look prettier. I have a lot of gripes with my body, however its nowhere near as much as what most people describe as body dysphoria. This may be because I already have a relatively feminine body for a guy, but I dont know.
The main problem I have with being a man is the male gender roles and place in society, not so much the body itself. I hate being expected to be aggresive, emotionless, and be into "manly" things. I feel like if gender roles and gender norms didnt exist at all then I wouldnt have a problem being a man, but they unfortunately do exist. So does that make me trans? Or does it not count because im not dysphoric enough about my body? Am I just faking these feelings and confusing myself?
Am I trans?
I've been wondering if I may be trans for quite awhile now, but everything's so confusing and I feel like I havent gotten any closer to a clear answer.I'm a dude, but I dont like masculinity at all.

The main problem I have with being a man is the male gender roles and place in society, not so much the body itself. I hate being expected to be aggresive, emotionless, and be into "manly" things. I feel like if gender roles and gender norms didnt exist at all then I wouldnt have a problem being a man, but they unfortunately do exist. So does that make me trans? Or does it not count because im not dysphoric enough about my body? Am I just faking these feelings and confusing myself?

>but those were not real communism
Real communism is the movement which abolishes the current state of things (private property the alienation of species-being) and it is the expansion of worker association to international terms. To think 'communism' can be reduced to just a single historical act is silly. It is, after all, a process. Real socialism was one such historical act in a chain of many to come.
>okay, they are communist, but they are totalitarian! They are authoritarian!
Those are empty words liberal ideolouges use to justify equating the Soviet anti-colonial socialist project and the Nazifascistic colonial Lebensraum project, to keep the status quo of liberal representative democracy as the 'only democratic nonauthoritarian' society.

>communism led to bonobos being matriarchal
>matriarchy means there's no reason for monogamy to exist
>polygamy reigns
>INCEST
I propose a theory. A theory that is literally poison to our chimp brains.
The only reason why incest is a socio-cultural-legal taboo for us is because we ended up with monogamy.
1. Patriarchy emerges from males competing over, and accumulating, scarce resources.
2. This results in a select number of males monopolizing violence and living like kings with harems.
3. But as the population expands, there is a need for a greater capacity for violence, which exceeds the capabilities of the select number of males.
4. Monogamy emerges as a means of "bribing" the unlucky males without harems, to serve the ruling class males, and act as agents of violence when necessary, essentially retaining the order.
5. But as the population expands further, population control, social engineering in other words, becomes realized as a necessity for retaining the order.
6. Inbreeding is bad for the order. If on average an unlucky male gets one partner, and that partner is a parent or sibling, there is a high likelihood that the offspring of that male will become dead weight for the ruling class of males.
7. Thus, inevitably, demonizing incest becomes a necessity.
Does this basically mean communism will have incest? Yes. Not because incest is good, or because communists will preach incest, but simply because the forces that made incest taboo will cease to exist.
Imagine the reaction of present-day proletarians if you told them this. Absolute disgust, right? But how do we resolve the contradiction… That communism will destroy the very conception of "normality" for present-day proletarians. I mean, we don't even need to speak of the incest, even the polygamy, or god forbid, MILFs leading society through the power of motherhood and sexy times, would elicit disgust from present-day proletarians.
Is it a tragedy or a comedy?

The War on Drugs in the United States began in the early 1970s, officially declared by terrorist Richard Nixon in 1971. This initiative was a response to rising concerns about drug use, particularly among returning Vietnam veterans and within countercultural movements. The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 laid the groundwork for this campaign, categorizing drugs into schedules based on their potential for abuse and medical utility. The primary goal was to curb drug use and trafficking through strict enforcement measures by punishment and by death.
One of the most significant consequences of the War on Drugs has been its impact on social alienation. The aggressive enforcement strategies employed have led to widespread criminalization of drug users, being used as a disguise to kill off small ethnic groups who did not want to experience yankee sobriety in the wage slave hell. This has resulted in millions being incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses, contributing to a system that prioritizes punishment and death over rehabilitation, care and scientific study. This has also greatly increased the power of pigs who enforce laws which can now kill and rape anyone by planting drugs and pigging out.
Moreover, the stigma associated with drug-related offenses has lasting effects on people's lives post-incarceration. Many face barriers to employment, housing, and access to social services due to criminal records stemming from drug convictions. This cycle perpetuates poverty and limits opportunities for affected people and their families.
The War on Drugs has also had disastrous consequences for scientific research related to substances and the development of medicines. Policies have restricted research to certain controlled substances due to their classification as illegal drugs. Propaganda has also hindered the public's understanding of drugs and created an artificial division between drugs / substances and medicine, which does not exist.
For instance, cannabis remains classified as a Schedule I substance under yankee federal law, which implies it has no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. This classification has severely limited research opportunities into its therapeutic benefits despite growing evidence supporting its efficacy in treating various medical conditions and the escape of sober slavery.
Additionally, funding for addiction treatment programs often just funds cults like alcoholics anonymous and WOD propaganda outlets rather than smart environments for sobering up to be able to still enjoying the benefits of psychoactive substances in moderate terms in the long term.
In summary, when forced, sobriety is slavery. The WOD is the modern war for slavery over the human mind and scientific study.

>Urgent Appeal: Stop the Judicial Coup in South Korea and Defend Democracy
<On May 1, 2025, South Korea’s Supreme Court issued a politically charged decision that overturned the acquittal of opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, the leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election, on charges of election law violation. Lee had endured intense repression under the administration of impeached former president Yoon Suk-yeol, having been subjected to investigation by over 200 government prosecutors, but despite countless allegations, these nearly non-stop investigations failed to result in a conviction. Now, with South Korea gearing up for a historic snap election on June 3, 2025 following Yoon’s ouster, authorities are once again attempting to convict Lee to remove him from the political playing field.

Now, with South Korea gearing up for a historic snap election on June 3, 2025 following Yoon’s ouster, authorities are once again attempting to convict Lee to remove him from the political playing field.

Of course, the Poles, being a classified reaKKKtionary group will cast their votes for the candidate that they (wrongly) believe is the right one, and while most likely the uninspired liberal Trzaskowski will win, this election also sees (so far) a rise in the popularity of a right wing agent of Satan candidate Mentzen (his name is German - that already is an ill omen)
I guess people deciding to caste their vote for the KKKlandidate from KKKonfederacja is bad enough, but currently he has 3rd place in most polls (which are a shit source of info, at least in Poland, but his supporters are loud at least). Like his memes say, he might actually have a higher chance of beating PO's Trzaskowski if he gets to the 2nd turn (which he likely won't). Of course the postulates are the same old rightoid spiel - low taxes, privatize stuff, shit that would never help any common prole (which is funny because common cis male proles are his biggest electorates, followed by teenagers and young adults with delusions of grandeur and entrepreneurial success)
In true Polish fashion there is no real good candidate, maybe Razem's Zandberg who actually has leftist postulates, criticized Israel (uncommon among Polish politics even though the population is like 80% anti-Israel at least), ran the pre-www Polish section of the Marxist Internet Archive as a teenager. But then, Razem is a socdem party through and through - unless Zandberg somehow gets elected and randomly brings back the Polish People's Republic.
His biggest supporters are actually among academic young adults, most of studentoid friends of mine actually vote for him.
Sometimes I wonder what CIA programming Poles went through to just go "jezu komunis" at any leftist postulate and causes them to react towards nazism (speaking of - plenty more nazi stickers around my place recently, being Polish and a nazi has to be a new suicide cult)
tl;dr the Poles have had it too good for long enough.
Poland Elections
The presidential elections in Poland are coming soon, which means that it's time for me to bitch about this place (or more exactly the people that reside in it, which science still has not fully been able to describe the behaviorism of) again.Of course, the Poles, being a classified reaKKKtionary group will cast their votes for the candidate that they (wrongly) believe is the right one, and while most likely the uninspired liberal Trzaskowski will win, this election also sees (so far) a rise in the popularity of a right wing agent of Satan candidate Mentzen (his name is German - that already is an ill omen)

Pansexual
Why do people hate pansexuals? Like, im not bi, but ive met some men i would be happy dateing but most disgust me. Same thing for women. Ive also dated trans folks but i never dated anyone JUST for their gender or gender identity, it seems like meaningless peacokcing behavior to me. I like who i like, regardless of what their identify is or anything else. What i dont understand is the hate toward the term, apart from the normal hate you get from being openly queer. Im a closeted pan sexual and i only really talk about this stuff with my partners, who also are almost always pan.thoughts?

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

But also as a Serb, I am sick and tired of the perpetual reactionary victimhood and chauvinism of Serbs regarding the wars.
No, as a communist I say FUCK NATO, but also it's a bit like being German and complaining about the Allied bombing of Germany in WW2. Nobody gives a shit. I guess people give a shit about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but I'd argue that's thanks to Japan's cultural capital being greater than the knowledge of Westerners regarding what Imperial Japan did.
Anyway, nobody was fighting to save Tito's socialism (the revisionists/opportunists already took over by that point, some of the younger ones still in politics today), nor was anybody fighting to preserve Yugoslavia. It was a chain of reactionary wars start to finish. And it could have been prevented. People died for what? Nothing.
There were no "good guys" in the Yugoslavia 90s wars

This is how a real socialist leader approaches the music question.
Most “narco music” is CIA-funded, identical to how the intelligence apparatus funds and promotes hip hop. Banning it is objectively the correct position for a socialist leader to take. China also bans rap and promotes classical music as a way of empowering the masses through culture.

<‘Whom do I detest most, among the modern scoundrels? The Socialist scoundrels – the apostles of the mob, who intrigue against the workers’ instinct, contentment and feeling of satisfaction with their modest life – who make the workers envious, and teach them revenge.’

<Socialism ‘is for the most part a symptom of the fact that we are treating the lower classes too humanely, so that they get a taste of the happiness forbidden to them… It is not hunger that causes revolution; it is the fact that when the people begin to eat they acquire larger appetites.’
(Ibid)
So - the exploited classes would be at ease with their poverty, if it wasn't for socialist agitators; and it is not material poverty that causes revolt, it's people daring to imagine a better life.
No, these philosophies are not compatible. Let me reminder all idiots here that you don't get to pick and choose when it comes to Marxism. You take it as a totality, as a totalitarian philosophy of life, or you don't accept it at all.

I'll start with my own recommendation:
Rie Himemiya from Phase Connect [EN] Gen 2 Phase Alias. A Vsinger with great covers and original songs such as Love Potion #520 and ゲテモノ (Bizarre Food) / Utsu-P ♡ to give you two examples.
Her streams as of now center around variety gaming such as her recent playthrough of Pokémon HG/SS as her first Pokémon game although she is mostly focused on Limbus Company and Library of Ruina as well as community projects like Date Ideas for Valentines season or making a love song out of Schizophrenic Maros.
However I do recommend her older VODs as well such as Sandtrix or Gayraoke for her humor and great chat interaction. If you want something more recent check out her 100 songs for 100k Christmas Special from last year. Remember to do your reps and backreading

It feels like the objective conditions for capitalism's collapse are just screaming at us every single day. Economic crises, ecological breakdown unprecedented scale, mass alienation and atomization as the baseline state, political dysfunction that borders on parody, imperial decay… the contradictions are so obvious a child could point them out.
Yet, despite all this, there's no coherent, mass movement building critical power. We have scattered struggles, localized resistance, theory posting, and… well, mostly just watching the whole rotten system unravel in slow motion. Historically, shouldn't these blatant contradictions be fueling significant class struggle and revolutionary organization on a much larger scale?
Are we just stuck in a cycle of commentary and theory without effective action? What does meaningful praxis even look like in an era of hyper-fragmentation, digital distraction, pervasive state/corporate surveillance and control, and the decimation of traditional working-class sites of power? Are we missing something fundamental about how change happens in the 21st century under late-stage capital, or is this just the long, drawn-out decline we're witnessing, with no revolutionary break on the horizon?
Interested to hear genuine thoughts and analysis, not just doomposting (though understand that too). What's the materialist analysis of our current incapacity despite the system's obvious decay?

How were sakaists wrong? Where do you even start with the reeducation of the white proletariat if a revolution succeeded right now, the internet is dominated by think tanks that push the white genocide myth, there were like 5 mass shooting cases the past couple of months where chuddies killed their classmates, insulting a black kid nets you $1 million bucks and its gonna get worse from here on out.
You can deny idpol all you want, but when brown people fear for their lives then they will react and defend themselves, and some anti-idpol leftist isn't converting those people over to their side with constant fence sitting when white people fantasize about a world wide genocide.
Or will the western left continue to huff their farts, while the fascist machine sends some more people to el salvador and bombs more palestinian children?

Like Diddy, there have been rumors swarming for years that Davis is behind a lot of shady shit, namely 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 the music industry in the 2000s. He is also known to commit tax fraud/evasion. Yet he hasn't been charged with anything. This can be explained by the suspicions Davis is a federal informant who's been working with the FBI for decades to get blackmail dirt on celebrities, identical to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Davis essentially buckbroke Diddy when Diddy first entered the music industry. Everything Diddy is currently charged with are things he learned from Davis. It gets deeper when you look at the trial. Diddy, like his mentor Davis, is also an alleged FBI informant. It's rumored Diddy orchestrated Tupac's murder (the feds wanted Pac dead because he was a Black communist breadpilling people through his rhymes) and almost certainly had something to do with Biggie's death as well. The prosecutor against Diddy is allegedly James Comey's daughter, Comney being the same prosecutor in the Epstein/Maxwell case. Given that the prosecution is currently floundering (they have yet to prove Diddy is a sex trafficker, only that he's a sexual pervert with a piss and cuckold fetish) one can easily see that this is allegedly a cover up of an alleged cover up: either Diddy walks free and everyone involved goes about doing their evil, or Diddy is found guilty and becomes the fall guy while the bigger villains (specifically Davis) go unchecked.
To put the cherry on the sundae: Clive Davis owns a school at NYU, the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Everyone who teaches there is getting paid by Clive; you can clearly see an overlap with the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

A ceremony on Thursday, May 29, marked the creation of the Maila Sabrina Settlement on land that was once the “Fazenda Brasileira”, a large plantation owned by a rich landowner. It is located in the southern Brazilian state of Paraná. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva attended the ceremony and officially expropriated the plantation, settling 450 families from the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) who have occupied the site since 2003.

Brazilian oil trade unions urge Lula to impose energy embargo on Israel
The letter cited action taken by other countries, such as Colombia’s suspension of coal exports to Israel, and global grassroots campaigns such as #BlockTheBoat, where dockworkers around the world have refused to load Israeli ships and cargo and transport arms to Israel. In the United States, Block the Boat was organised by the Arab Resource and Organizing Center in San Francisco. In addition to the immediate suspension of oil exports to Israel, the federations urge the Brazilian government to suspend projects with Israeli energy companies, and support United Nations-led sanctions and measures to hold Israel to account.

Hamas: US-backed Gaza ceasefire deal 'does not meet needs of Palestinians'
According to the BBC, a senior Hamas official stated that the group is likely to reject the ceasefire offer put forward by US envoy Steve Witkoff, citing the lack of a "humanitarian protocol that allows for the entry of hundreds of trucks daily" into Gaza. The official said the proposal also contradicts earlier discussions Hamas had held with American officials.

Senior judge rules police acted unlawfully in raiding home of British independent journalist Asa Winstanley
The ruling this month by the most senior judge at London’s Central Criminal Court (the Old Bailey) that the police raid on British journalist Asa Winstanley’s London home on October 17, 2024 was unlawful is a blow against the Starmer government’s efforts to criminalise opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Police informed Winstanley by letter during the raid that they were investigating “possible offences” under Sections 1 and 2 of the Terrorism Act 2006.

The European Union has pledged to make deportations a priority in 2025 and finalize common rules across the 27-nation bloc.

Australian construction union boss steps down as Labor-appointed administrator tightens screws
Last August, using the pretext of unproven media allegations of widespread corruption and links to organised crime, the federal Labor government placed the union’s construction division under administration, immediately sacking almost 330 elected officials. In reality, the draconian move had nothing to do with ridding the CFMEU of “rogue elements.” It was about subordinating a historically militant section of the working class even more directly to the state and the employers, to facilitate attacks on their wages and conditions amid a downturn in the building sector and the economy.

This is an important distinction, since the reactionary camp encompasses two types of people.
1. Normie operating on instinct
2. Entrenched cultist with ideological conviction
For example, America is full of the first kind. I wouldn't expect your regular American Christian to oppose life extension through science, because they wouldn't be ideologically consistent enough in their worldview to want that. Their fear of death or inconvenience in the moment outweighs the abstract possibility of heaven in their mind, creating a sort of instinctive doublethink. For such people, religion is an expression of autopilot conformity. They don't have agency are more like red blood cells in the social organism rather than something to be exterminated.
Keep in mind, I have massive contempt for the first type of reactionary. Unfortunately, they are the VAST majority in every society, and the "socialization" solution for this majority is only achievable through careful sustained effort (as the USSR learned the hard way). If the Uyghurs are a variant of this first type of person, then overkill persecution isn't necessary and won't achieve much (aside from bad optics).
HOWEVER, if they are like the second group - Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, or other moralizing fundies who would prevent us from playing god with science, they deserve everything they get and more.
Most of what I know about these people is from heavily biased sources. Do we have any objective proof that Uyghurs belong to the second category of fundamentalist reactionaries? I have no stake in this matter, and am open to a convincing argument on why they people actually suck.

Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.

What great contradiction is there between Western bourgeoisie and Russian bourgeoisie for there to be such a conflict?

For some materialists, this armed society is the only one where any real socialist movements is possible, because any collective effort made in this society has material reasons to be near completely consensual among all members
Do you agree with this?
Given that most governments are imposed on to citizens through armed force, it is the responsibility of citizens to separate and protect themselves from hostile societies and their own government. To do this, they would need to own weapons, home defence, their own homes, have their identities and personal information blocked hidden away from government and foreign entities, have their own places to store their belongings, and be in a physical state where they can fight. Depending on your beliefs, either none of this requires any change in economic policy, or if you’re a materialist, none of this requires an organized society-spanning revolt to force self defence in mass. Only that any government’s or really any armed group’s control over a population is kept to an absolute minimum under the legitimate threat that it would deal with armed resistance if it overstepped what its citizens or allies were willing to tolerate.For some materialists, this armed society is the only one where any real socialist movements is possible, because any collective effort made in this society has material reasons to be near completely consensual among all members

Presently, the implementation is in C, Xlib, Cairo, and Pango but is little more than a demo to edit and render text taken from various tutorials glued together only started yesterday afternoon. It is however already capable of indexing in text based on pointer events, so it seems the stack will be powerful enough to write the gui. Am likely to start with morphing the present program into the prompt package and once have the basics of the centered view created (this would be something akin to dmenu) am likely to begin rewriting in Common Lisp. Don't yet know how to handle the interprocess communication ideally it would be bidirectoinal and work well with programs not written in Common Lisp, though this latter point isn't the biggest priority. Getting the interprogram communication right is going to be critical for having the environment work well overall. Anyway that's all for now.
Programming a Really Integrated Development Environment
This is the next installment of threads in my project log series since the imageboard was completed >>27187, and ran out of motivation for the calendar-based forum >>27553, leaving it as merely a (relatively complete) calendar. The idea this time around is to make something of a GNU Emacs replacement, but broken up into a number of tightly coupled smaller packages. Namely the approach is going to be "frames" over "windows" where windows are controlled by a programmable tiling window manager and run in Xephr for individuals who don't want to replace their window manager. Further there will be a command processor for mapping keybindings to functions and command names to functions. Next there will be a prompt package which will be responsible for prompting the user, more likely than not this will be either at the cursor position or in the center of the display. Lastly, the text editor itself will be responsible for very little beyond saving and reloading state, and rendering the text buffer; these two functionality will likely also be split into separate packages.Presently, the implementation is in C, Xlib, Cairo, and Pango but is little more than a demo to edit and render text taken from various tutorials glued together only started yesterday afternoon.

Hi I am from the soysphere and I’m wondering if there could be a /leftysoy/ board here.
Context: https://wiki.soyjak.st/Leftysoy/
The board formerly existed on soyjak.st until it was eventually deleted because of bourgeoisiecucks, I have also been exiled from the new administration on the site and some of the soysphere for bullshit reasons.
I would like a new /leftysoy/ and I think it would bring in many users for the site too

How is not this just communism? The church is the vanguard party planning and doing good for the peons.
Is communism just another neoplatonism sect that will end up being some sort of religion? I mean Christianity at first must have been better than whatever existed till then otherwise it wouldn't have replaced the rest. And you have to really believe in some marxist shit like theory of value etc.

Liberal Crime Squad
I wish there was a Communist fork of Liberal Crime Squad, which is a game created by the Dwarf Fortress guy Tarn Adams way back during the Bush Era which has had multiple forks, but none which change the fundamental liberal pretenses. LCS is basically about building a network of clandestine cells to oppose an Arch-reactionary government, but it is fundamentally framed in terms of US liberal politics, which reveals its contradictions and ideological flaws. Tarn Adams also says he intended it as a GTA-style satire rather than something truly critical of the USA but I don't really believe that. I think he is "hiding his power level" which radlibs tend to do, to the extent that they have a power level at all. Someone made an update in 2024 that can be played in a web browser and posted it to the Dwarf Fortress forums, and while in some senses it updates it culturally from the Bush era, it still is fundamentally based on the same ideological pretenses.https://www.jonathansfox.com/lcs-new-age/

Eran comunidades de indígenas y mestizos organizadas por la compañía de jesus. Donde antes había grandes latifundios organizaron misiones para instruir a los indígenas no solo en la religión, llevaron la alfabetización y la cultura a estratos populares. Tenían bandas de música y hasta se publicaban obras en guaraní
Eran autosuficientes y muy exitosas económicamente. De hecho no tenían moneda y trabajaban comunalmente, cada misión se especializaba en una actividad económica y hacían trueque entre ellas mientras que recaudaban fondos comerciando con el exterior. Mezclaban técnicas modernas de agricultura con conocimientos indígenas e instruían ampliamente a los indígenas, tanto es así que los bandeirantes portugueses las raideaban para raptarlos porque eran muy cotizados como esclavos
Las autoridades virreinales los veían como competencia y los acabaron expulsando

>a lot of people use it!
This has gotta be one of the worst reasons for choosing a programming language for your team out there. The entire argument is premised on the idea that this makes it easier to hire for, but the more popular your language choice is the more scriptkiddies you’re gonna get applying for your company and you end up going through excruciating hiring processes, meanwhile if you just say "ok we're using Rust" the only hiring friction will be finding someone who isn't annoying at Christmas parties.
