I enjoyed reading Mein Kampf to laugh at Hitler's chuddery:
>My knowledge of the trade-union organization at that time was zero. I could have proved neither its usefulness nor its uselessness. As I was told I must join, I refused. I gave as my grounds that I did not understand the situation, but would not be forced to do anything whatever. Perhaps the former was the reason why they did not throw me out at once. They may have hoped they could convert me or wear me down within a few days. In any case they were deeply mistaken. But within a fortnight I had reached the end of my ability, even if I had wanted to go on. In that fortnight I came to know my surroundings better, so that no power in the world could have forced me to join an organization whose members I had seen in such an unfavorable light. The first few days I was annoyed. At noon some of the men went to near-by public-houses, while others stayed on the lot, and there consumed a (usually quite pitiful) lunch. These were the married men, whose wives brought them their midday soup in miserable dishes. Toward the end of the week their number kept growing; why, I understood later. Then they would talk politics. I would drink my bottle of milk and eat my piece of bread somewhere aside, and would cautiously study my new surroundings or ponder my wretched lot. But still I heard more than enough; and it often seemed to me that people sidled up to me deliberately, perhaps with the intention of forcing me to make my attitude clear. In any case, what I heard in this fashion was calculated to irritate me to the extreme. They were against everything: the nation, as an invention of the “capitalistic” (how often had I to hear that word!) classes; the Fatherland, as a tool of the bourgeoisie to exploit the workers; the authority of law, as a means to oppress the proletariat; the schools, as an institution to (rain up a body of slaves, and of slave-owners as well; religion, as a means of stupefying the people marked for exploitation; morals, as a symbol of stupid, sheep-like patience; and so on. There was simply nothing which they did not drag in the muck of a fearful baseness. At first I tried to maintain silence. But finally I could do so no longer. I began to express my attitude, and began to contradict. Then I realized that this was quite useless until I knew something definite about the points under dispute, so I began to go to the sources from which they drew their supposed wisdom. Book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet had its turn. On the building lot there were now often heated arguments. I went on struggling, growing day by day better informed than my adversaries were, until one day the means was used which most easily vanquishes reason: terrorism, violence. Some of the spokesmen of the opposition forced me either to leave the job at once or to fly off the scaffolding on my head. As I was alone, and resistance seemed hopeless, I preferred to follow the former advice, richer by one experience. I left, filled with disgust, but at the same time so agitated that it would have been quite impossible for me to turn my back on the whole affair. No; after the flaming up of the first indignation, my stiff neck once more got the upper hand. I was absolutely determined to find another construction job just the same. My decision was strengthened by the privation which closed me in its heartless embrace a few weeks later, after I had eaten up what little wages I had saved. Now I had to, whether or no. And the game began all over again, only to end as it had before. I struggled with myself: were these human beings, worthy of belonging to a great people ? It was a painful question. If the answer were yes, the struggle for a national body was really not worth the effort and sacrifice which the best individuals must make; but if the answer were no, our people was poor indeed in human beings.
TL;DR Hitler is impoverished in Vienna, gets a job, refuses to join the union because "i don't know nuffin bout dat shit and u cant make me do nuffin", workers try to educate him, he gets annoyed with them for not being nationalist enough and being anti capitalist, starts to debatebro ben shapiro style, they threaten to beat his nerd ass, he leaves pissed off and decides they're all subhumans. This is hilarious to me because all the neo nazi revisionists try to make hitler out to be more anti capitalist than the "judeobolshevik" marxists.

Thread guidelines:
• Please remember to add a spoiler to NSFW and extreme content such as graphic violence and gore.
• Try your best to not derail discussion too much from the main events and relevant places where the war is taken place, as well as other happenings, groups and public figures related to it.
• Meta discussion of the historical, philosophical and ideological background of the war is fine as long as its done in good faith and comradely.
• In the event the meta discussion overstays its welcome, participating users will be referred to take the conversation to the INTERNATIONALISM general thread.
• Quality shitposting and original content is encouraged! Spamming glowie memes is low effort.
• this is /ISG/ for people who treats geopolitics like shitty map games
• behead NATO, crush NATO, etc.
• boasting about getting laid in a warzone is fucking weird, okay?

The Lucanamarca massacre was a mass killing perpetrated by the Maoist insurgent organization Shining Path on 3 April 1983 in and around Santiago de Lucanamarca, in the Ayacucho region of Peru. The attack killed 69 people, and was carried out as retaliation against a rural community that had resisted Shining Path's control.

What's your take on the coming elections in the demon colony?
I hope that Netanyahu and the extreme right win, it will tarnish Israel's reputation even further + they are very incompetent. If the "moderate" liberal Zionists win it's fucking over. They will present themselves as more sane but will continue dispossessing Palestinians under a nice guy mask.
Basically I see Netanyahu as the Shabtai Tzvi of Zionism.

LEFTIST TRANSHUMANISM
What's your opinion on a leftist leaning tranhumanism? Do you think use technology to enhance mankind is bad and dangerous or is a path way to a new kind of good existence? Of course left leaning transhumanism isn't a monolithic group, but bunch of ideas about the opportunity and perils of using technology on mankind.

How is it possible bad actors are capitalizing out of cruel things like "lolcow culture" and AI, deepfakes being weaponized against us, who speak out against the system?
And don't get me started with "AI is future"! You see naive folks? It's clearly used in warfare against innocent women, children etc.
Unrelated pic, but I'm posting it, because Nozzad has been blackmailing Poles too and they moved their target to blackmailing outspoken women too.
Is AI and are deepfakes an Israel psyop?
I noticed that it's nowadays legal to steal someone else's face, likeness and voice. I have been a target of severe reputation ruin, because I have been anti-Israeli (yes, I'm based in Poland as well). There have been attempts at creating a "lolcow" out of me, also because of my anti-capitalistic views.How is it possible bad actors are capitalizing out of cruel things like "lolcow culture" and AI, deepfakes being weaponized against us, who speak out against the system?

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????
The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough. These people have names and addresses and have to face some kind of legal penalties so the world can finally have closure and the Neocon war criminals can finally reap what they sowed.

From what I've gathered in the German Ideology, Marx believes that humans have needs, that they perform labour to satisfy those needs, and that because they are social animals, they enter certain arrangements in order to organize their labor. My reading of historical change was originally simply thatthis arrangement can become irrational for certain classes, and that they as such enter conflict over the control of production. For example, the feudal system was upheld by the nobility, but this arrangement wasn't rational for the rising bourgeoisie, and they as such created a period of conflict over the maintenance of feudal traditions.
However, in the preface of "A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy", Marx establishes that historical changes occur when :
>"At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production or – this merely expresses the same thing in legal terms – with the property relations within the framework of which they have operated hitherto. From forms of development of the productive forces these relations turn into their fetters. Then begins an era of social revolution"
This imo contradicts my reading. It's not classes which fight over control of production, because they don't want to change the system/recognize themselves in the system, it's that new technological developments are "hindered" by existing relations of production.
Any thoughts ?
Wtf is historical materialism and what did Marx mean by it ?
I've been trying to read more of Marx lately and I've found it difficult to pinpoint exactly what his "materialist conception of history" means. I understand the base/superstructure logic but I don't really understand his broader logic of history.From what I've gathered in the German Ideology, Marx believes that humans have needs, that they perform labour to satisfy those needs, and that because they are social animals, they enter certain arrangements in order to organize their labor.

Kamala Harris is the biggest threat to the success of both socialist electroialism (ex DSA) and the creation of revolutionary conditions.
Kamala leads the neoliberal LARPing as social democrat and is currently trying every measure to rework her previously awful policies and opinions into now some barely agreeable shit, for example she now is condemning biden (while not menitioning herself LMAO) about the gaza genocide. She still believes in imperialism of course and anybody denying this is retarded
>she supported the coup against manduro and occuption of venezulia
>she supported action against iran
>she hasn't condemned trump's economic's once excluding traffis
>she supports ICE, both during her time in government and now
If we do not prevent her from getting elected we are gonna face huge issues, she used idpol against those who opposed her before and will do the same now.

Am I the only one worried that the right-wing is already taking advantage of the fact that the left has become a vacuum of intellect, and is now re-embracing intellectualism on its own terms?
I’ve seen multiple IG pages recently that talk about the literacy crisis in America; however, a good number of these pages/accounts are made by right-wingers/reactionaries. They use very blatant dogwhistles like “classical education”, “great books”, “virtue of the Ancients”, “glory of Western Civilization”, etc. etc. They talk about getting kids (read: they’re kids, the kids of right-wing elites) to study Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, etc., learn Latin and Ancient Greek at young ages, and pump their heads full of political philosophy. Yeah it’s indoctrination but still.
My assumption here is that the right-wing in America is trying to regroup and reorganize now that MAGA is clearly crashing and burning beyond repair. A lot of the rhetoric they use makes me think this stuff is coming from either the Heritage Foundation, Claremont Institute, or both.
But I think the deeper issue here is that the left has no way of effectively countering this, assuming this is true. Especially in the past five years or so the American left has almost entirely dismissed intellect and intellectualism in favour of appeals to emotion and petty in-fighting over covid masking, whose identity makes them the most marginalized, and whether or not going to the gym is “fascist”. Hell, someone just posted a screenshot from Reddit arguing that narcissists and psychopaths should be seen as “oppressed”. Why? What’s our antidote to the right when the right uses literacy and philosophy and such as a means of implementing fascism (or fascism-lite)? The American left seems to be taking the view that intellect is either 1. oppressive (because it inevitably creates a culture whereby smart people are upheld over stupid people) and/or 2. useless, because ethics are allegedly already embedded within human genetics and therefore all we need is intuition (Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid book is often invoked here). Why?
So what should we be doing in response?

Mamdani was elected specifically to fight against the Zionist Lobby and yet he’s show MULTIPLE TIMES he’s a full-blown Zio himself. He sells out to Jewish feelings over Palestinian resistance every time he can. He quotes the satanic Talmud which calls for Jews to enslave and oppress “goyim” in order to appease Zionists. Then he has the NYPD arrest hundreds of anti-Zionist protesters. Now he attends a “memorial” lead by an “Israeli” hasbara group to memorialize 1200 Zionist settlers killed during the greatest act of anti-colonial resistance in modern history. If Ziohran was truly principled he would have unequivocally stated that “Israelis” have no right to life given that every single one serves in the army and that Hamas and the PFLP have a right to resist.

Bread and circuses- the bleakest political theory
Is it TRVE that most people will excuse any kind of depravity being commited by their government provided that their basic need are met? If they PERSONALLY live in peace and have a full belly they couldnt give less of a shit about public dismemberments, child floggings, arranged marriages, torture and even mass murder of undesirables of society? If this is true then thats dark as fuck and gives me a good reason to have zero empathy for the working class.

The posts on this board are basically CNN, with a footnote which pleads "believe us! we're leftists! we're not libruls!" but clearly this footnote is a falsehood.
This board exists to be a filter which ensures no further left-wing political ideology makes it's way into western politics.
This is why nearly every post gets banned here. This is why it's always the most interesting or intelligent posts which inevitably get banned.

Speaking in the House of Commons, the prime minister said the motion, backed by Green members at its party conference earlier this month, was "wrong" and "antisemitic" and Labour would have "nothing to do with it". The motion said Zionism was an ideology supporting "an ethnonationalist Jewish state in historic Palestine to the exclusion and/ or domination of the non-Jewish population".

The proposed measures would allow lawmakers accused of antisemitism to be expelled if a panel came to a consensus on the matter. If they disagreed, experts would be called in. The decision comes after the Left admitted lawmaker Vanessa Emde, who has sparked controversy over her stance on Israel, as part of the state of Berlin's new parliamentary group.

China’s Zhejiang province calls to limit tech giants’ power over online traffic
Communist Party officials in eastern China’s Zhejiang province have called for greater oversight of major internet platforms and their “traffic power”, warning that online traffic and algorithms had evolved into a force capable of shaping public discussion and sentiment. The publicity department of the Zhejiang provincial party committee published the commentary on social media on Thursday, saying traffic could no longer be viewed simply as a data resource.

A forest fire on Indonesia’s Sumatra island fuelled by El Niño has razed nearly 300 homes, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate, an official has said, as the country battles devastating blazes and haze.

African Union pushes for health self-reliance as aid shrinks
Although countries such as China and some Gulf states have increased aid to the region, there is still a shortfall in funding for crucial services in Africa such as health, education and humanitarian support. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, African Union Commission chairman, called today for stronger domestic financing, expanded production of vaccines and treatments, and the removal of barriers to intra-African trade to strengthen the continent’s health sovereignty.

Argentina eyes tapping China swap to cover 2027 financing needs
Argentina could tap its currency swap line with China if it can’t refinance dollar-denominated bonds under local law as investor concerns simmer ahead of next year’s presidential election, Economy Minister Luis Caputo said. Caputo met privately with investors at an event hosted by JPMorgan Chase & Co on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings in Bangkok. Afterward, he noted “there was a lot of focus on the political aspect” ahead of President Javier Milei’s re-election bid next year.

Colombian President Signs Decree Expanding Police Powers to Disperse Protests
Interior Minister Rodrigo Lara warned that the new regulation will take effect before demonstrations called by social movements, organizations, and opposition parties for Oct. 14. De La Espriella’s decree authorizes security forces to disperse demonstrations without prior dialogue, using tear gas, stun grenades, and other weapons classified as “less-lethal.” The decree also prohibits road blockades and the presence of masked protesters at demonstrations, a measure that moves toward criminalizing social protest and violates the free exercise of the right to protest.

Burnham rules out coalition with Greens after 'Zionism is racism' motionSpeaking in the House of Commons, the prime minister said the motion, backed by Green members at its party conference earlier this month, was "wrong" and "antisemitic" and Labour would have "nothing to do with it". The motion said Zionism was an ideology supporting "an ethnonationalist Jewish state in historic Palestine to the exclusion and/ or domination of the non-Jewish population".

Is academia a waste of time?
I'm 31. I never went to college because I considered it a waste of time. The state of education in the USA is abhorrent and I never for a moment considered there would be something to gain by wasting time in ideological brainwashing factories masquerading as educational institutions. I'm employed in the trades and I've always studied philosophy in my spare time, but I'm seriously considering university now because I believe (perhaps mistakenly) that my abilities and knowledge have reached a point of enough breadth and depth to make a career as a philosopher, and to get some papers and books published. Has anyone here pursued that path, and if so, what were your experiences?

My answer is with this binary: communitary and anti-social.
Communitary actions and people are those that do things that help the group. Anti-social actions and people are those that harm the group.
Giving people food for free is communitary, stealing is anti-social.
Another useful binary is problem-solving and trouble-making.
Why do people love heroic characters? because they are portrayed as characters that solve problems, help and even save other people even at their personal expense. Why do people hate villanous characters? because they cause problems for everyone else for their own gain.
We like people that are communitary and that solve problems, we don't like people that are harmful to the group and make problems.
Then what about justice? Justice is also not real. Then what should it be replaced with? with problem solving.
If a guy kills 10 people then it doesn't matter whether he deserves to be tortured or not, what matters is whether that'd solve any problem. If not, then there's no reason to do it.
Thinking of giving criminals proper punishment is pointless, because even if you do give them the most deserving punishment you are not fixing the problem of people commiting crimes in general nor the problem of this particular person being anti-social. If effort was concentrated on the issue of problem-solving rather than justice-seeking then we'd be closer to actually solving our problems.

There is no "AI" ya nincompoops. It's just dead labor feasting on living labor.
Marx called capital "dead labor" that feasts on "living labor" because capital is the result of past human labor that has been accumulated in the form of money, machinery, factories, and other means of production, no matter how "advanced" and "futuristic" those means of production get. Although these things were created by workers, they become instruments of capitalist power when privately owned and used to generate profit. In capitalism, workers must sell their labor power to survive, producing goods and services whose value exceeds the wages they receive. The capitalist takes this surplus value and reinvests it to accumulate even more capital. Thus, “dead labor” feeds on “living labor” because the wealth created by workers in the past becomes a force that controls and exploits workers in the present, continually expanding through their labor. For Marx, this expresses the central contradiction of capitalism: human labor creates wealth, yet that wealth confronts workers as an independent power that dominates them. Now take that basic Marxian principle and apply it to "AI."
There is no magic "AI." There is an emerging body of technologies built by human beings, trained on human-generated data, powered by enormous human-built computing infrastructure, and sustained by significant human-made investments of energy, water, hardware, labor, and capital (dead labor!). Calling these technologies “artificial intelligence” can obscure more than it explains. The term encourages us to imagine an independent, almost supernatural intelligence that exists apart from human knowledge and effort, when what we actually have are complex systems that identify patterns, generate predictions, and produce outputs based on statistical relationships learned from data. That data comes, directly or indirectly, from people: their writing, research, art, expertise, experience, and accumulated cultural knowledge. These systems do not emerge from a vacuum. They are built upon the intellectual labor of human civilization, and their capabilities are inseparable from the quality, diversity, and limitations of the material on which they were trained.
The quality of these systems depends on much more than the quantity of data they consume. It depends on whose knowledge is represented, whose experience is excluded, how accurately the material reflects reality, and how effectively the system has been trained to distinguish reliable information from error. A system trained on a broad mixture of knowledgeable experts, careful researchers, skilled practitioners, and diverse perspectives may be useful in many contexts. A system trained on incomplete, biased, outdated, or poorly vetted information may reproduce those weaknesses with remarkable confidence. Even high-quality training data does not guarantee high-quality answers in every situation. These technologies can make mistakes, fabricate details, miss context, and produce plausible explanations that are fundamentally wrong. They can be powerful tools, but their outputs still require judgment, verification, and often the very expertise that people are being told they no longer need.
The most dangerous misconception is the idea that this technology is a black box into which anyone can type a request and receive an infinite supply of high-quality work at virtually zero cost. The interface may look effortless, but the infrastructure behind it is not free, the resources required to operate it are not infinite, and the quality of its output is neither unlimited nor guaranteed. The apparent simplicity of asking a question conceals layers of human engineering, training, maintenance, evaluation, and physical infrastructure. More importantly, generating an answer is not the same as knowing whether the answer is correct, useful, ethical, or appropriate. A person who understands a field of expertise can use these tools to accelerate their work, identify possibilities, and explore unfamiliar territory. A person who lacks that understanding may have difficulty recognizing when the same tools have confidently led them astray. Expertise does not become irrelevant when technology advances; in many cases, it becomes more important because someone still has to evaluate what the technology produces.
This is why the growing narrative that young people should stop pursuing education, abandon difficult skills, or give up on developing expertise because "AI is going to take their jobs" is so socially destructive. It teaches people to surrender their agency at precisely the moment when they need to become more capable, adaptable, and intellectually independent. Education is not merely vocational training for a specific job that may or may not exist in twenty years. It teaches people how to reason, investigate, solve problems, communicate, recognize flawed arguments, understand complex systems, and make responsible decisions. Learning mathematics, engineering, medicine, history, writing, art, or a skilled trade develops capacities that cannot be reduced to the production of a finished document or the completion of an isolated task. If society persuades an entire generation that learning is pointless because a machine will do everything for them, it risks creating a population increasingly dependent on systems it does not understand and increasingly unable to challenge their mistakes.
There are also serious economic and social consequences to normalizing this message. If workers come to believe that their skills are destined to become worthless, they may be less inclined to invest in education, negotiate for better working conditions, or organize to ensure that technological gains are shared fairly. Employers may use the threat of automation to suppress wages, reduce staffing, intensify workloads, or justify replacing experienced workers before they have demonstrated that the technology can reliably perform the work. Educational institutions may feel pressured to prioritize immediate technological trends over the deeper development of human capabilities. And individuals who are already anxious about their economic future may experience greater insecurity, alienation, and hopelessness. These outcomes are not inevitable consequences of the technology itself; they are consequences of how societies choose to deploy it and how people are taught to understand their own future in relation to it.
We should be having a more serious conversation. The question is not whether these technologies can be useful; clearly, they can. The question is how to use them without confusing automation with understanding, statistical prediction with wisdom, or convenience with genuine competence. We should teach people how these systems work, where their limitations lie, how to verify their outputs, and how to combine their capabilities with human knowledge and judgment. We should encourage students to learn difficult things, not because technology will never change their professions, but because people who understand the underlying principles of their work are better positioned to adapt when it does. We should demand transparency about the resources these systems consume, the labor and data on which they depend, the economic interests driving their development, and the real-world consequences of their implementation.
Ultimately, the greatest risk may not be that machines become capable of doing more of the work that people once did. It may be that people are convinced they no longer need to understand the world, develop their abilities, or take responsibility for what happens within it. Human knowledge is not an obsolete input to be consumed by a machine and discarded. It is the foundation on which these technologies are built, the standard by which their outputs must be judged, and the resource society must continue to cultivate if it wants to use them wisely. We do not need to worship "AI," nor do we need to dismiss it. We need to demystify it. These are human-made technologies with real capabilities, real costs, and real limitations. Our future will depend less on whether we can make them produce more and more output, and more on whether we remain capable of understanding, evaluating, and directing what they produce.
There is no "AI" ya nincompoops. It's just dead labor feasting on living labor.
Marx called capital "dead labor" that feasts on "living labor" because capital is the result of past human labor that has been accumulated in the form of money, machinery, factories, and other means of production, no matter how "advanced" and "futuristic" those means of production get. Although these things were created by workers, they become instruments of capitalist power when privately owned and used to generate profit. In capitalism, workers must sell their labor power to survive, producing goods and services whose value exceeds the wages they receive. The capitalist takes this surplus value and reinvests it to accumulate even more capital. Thus, “dead labor” feeds on “living labor” because the wealth created by workers in the past becomes a force that controls and exploits workers in the present, continually expanding through their labor. For Marx, this expresses the central contradiction of capitalism: human labor creates wealth, yet that wealth confronts workers as an independent power that dominates them. Now take that basic Marxian principle and apply it to "AI."
There is no magic "AI." There is an emerging body of technologies built by human beings, trained on human-generated data, powered by enormous human-built computing infrastructure, and sustained by significant human-made investments of energy, water, hardware, labor, and capital (dead labor!). Calling these technologies “artificial intelligence” can obscure more than it explains. The term encourages us to imagine an independent, almost supernatural intelligence that exists apart from human knowledge and effort, when what we actually have are complex systems that identify patterns, generate predictions, and produce outputs based on statistical relationships learned from data. That data comes, directly or indirectly, from people: their writing, research, art, expertise, experience, and accumulated cultural knowledge. These systems do not emerge from a vacuum. They are built upon the intellectual labor of human civilization, and their capabilities are inseparable from the quality, diversity, and limitations of the material on which they were trained.
The quality of these systems depends on much more than the quantity of data they consume. It depends on whose knowledge is represented, whose experience is excluded, how accurately the material reflects reality, and how effectively the system has been trained to distinguish reliable information from error. A system trained on a broad mixture of knowledgeable experts, careful researchers, skilled practitioners, and diverse perspectives may be useful in many contexts. A system trained on incomplete, biased, outdated, or poorly vetted information may reproduce those weaknesses with remarkable confidence. Even high-quality training data does not guarantee high-quality answers in every situation. These technologies can make mistakes, fabricate details, miss context, and produce plausible explanations that are fundamentally wrong.

Out of curiosity, I decided to do some research on him, and it turns out this guy was actually a Giga. Here's some interesting episodes from his life:
>For twenty years, Ignatiev worked in a Gary, Indiana steel mill and also in the manufacturing of farming equipment and electrical components. A Marxist activist, he was involved in efforts by African American steel workers to achieve equality in the mills. In 1984, he was laid off from the steel mill, approximately a year after an arrest on charges of attacking a strike-breaker's car with a paint bomb.
>Ignatiev was accepted to the Harvard Graduate School of Education without an undergraduate degree.
>From 1986 until 1992, Ignatiev served as a tutor (academic adviser) for Dunster House at Harvard College. In early 1992, Ignatiev objected to the university's purchase of a toaster oven for the Dunster House dining hall that would be designated for kosher use only. He insisted that cooking utensils with restricted use should be paid for by private funds.
>In 2008, the American Jewish Committee objected to an encyclopedia article on Zionism that Ignatiev wrote for The Encyclopedia of Race and Racism. In the article, Ignatiev described Israel as a "racial state, where rights are assigned on the basis of ascribed descent or the approval of the superior race" and likened it to Nazi Germany and the Southern United States before the civil rights movement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Ignatiev
So here's one of his more inflammatory quotations that nazis like to attribute to him:
>"Make no mistake about it: we intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as 'the white race' is destroyed—not "deconstructed" but destroyed".
Sounds pretty awful right? Like he just hate all whitoids or something? Well, the language used is definitely edgy, but the edginess was used to bring attention to a much more nuanced point:
>Ignatiev's web site and publication Race Traitor displayed the motto "treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity". In response to a letter to the site which understood the motto as meaning that the authors "hated" white people because of their "white skin", Ignatiev and the other editors responded:
>We do not hate you or anyone else for the color of her skin. What we hate is a system that confers privileges (and burdens) on people because of their color. It is not fair skin that makes people white; it is fair skin in a certain kind of society, one that attaches social importance to skin color. When we say we want to abolish the white race, we do not mean we want to exterminate people with fair skin. We mean that we want to do away with the social meaning of skin color, thereby abolishing the white race as a social category. Consider this parallel: To be against royalty does not mean wanting to kill the king. It means wanting to do away with crowns, thrones, titles, and the privileges attached to them. In our view, whiteness has a lot in common with royalty: they are both social formations that carry unearned advantages.
To me, this sounds like your run of the mill progressive position that most white people take. His book How the Irish Became White illustrates it pretty plainly, and it's common knowledge today that Irish, Italians, and other European groups worked really hard to become accepted as "white" in America, and a lot of that has to do with buying into a system of social importance, making all the right dogwhistles, and paying homage to all the right people in power. We can see the treadmill continuing to move today with so many Hispanic Americans now starting to begin their own journey by voting for Trump or Joining ICE, following Nick Fuentes, hell they even got Marco Rubio in the white house. I wouldn't be surprised if the first Hispanic president got elected on a Republican ticket.
His work is still relevant today. Whiteness since its inception 400 years ago in colonial America has always been an arbitrary categorization used by Capital to maintain institutional and political power, ever since it became obvious that free blacks, whites, and natives had more in common than landowners. "Whiteness" is one of, if not the biggest barrier to intensifying class struggle in the USA right now. Thanks chuds for keeping this guy's memory and work alive for us to appreciate.
Noel Ignatiev
So back in the days when I used to browse /pol/, this guy Noel Ignatiev used to be brought up quite a bit especially in those threads full of poorly-sourced infographics about how those Heinous Hebrews want to destroy all white babies yada yada. I remember this guy standing out particularly because his quotes always seemed to be framed as some of the most particularly vitriolic towards white people, pic related.Out of curiosity, I decided to do some research on him, and it turns out this guy was actually a Giga.

PAUL COCKSHOTT EXPELLED FROM THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN FOR "ANTISEMITISM" AMONG OTHER THINGS
Quote:
The basis for this seems to have been that I retweeted commentary by Craig Murray and David Miller about the arson that was committed against a group of ambulances in London that belonged to a Jewish community charity. As readers may recall, the media and the Government immediately described the arson as evidence of growing antisemitism and suggested that it was probably part of a conspiracy directed by the Iranian Government. Security Minister Dan Jarvis told Parliament: “The House will be aware that the police are treating this arson attack as an antisemitic hate crime.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer described it as: “a horrific antisemitic attack”. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood referred to it as an: “Iranian-linked firebomb attack” and an “abhorrent crime”. By July the Government’s language became considerably stronger. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper announced sanctions on an Iran-linked group and stated that the organisation had: “publicly claimed responsibility” for attacks including “the antisemitic arson attack on four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green in March” The same statement further asserted: “members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force … almost certainly directed IMCR attacks across Europe.” You may recall that clause 15 of the CP’s Social Media Protocol states that members should not promote antisemitic conspiracy theories or conspiracy theories based on unverifiable claims. It is evident that a conspiracy took place because, in law, a conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a criminal offence. Arson is a crime, and three people were filmed setting fire to the vehicles. The existence of a conspiracy is therefore not unverifiable. What remained unverified was any claim about the perpetrators’ motivation, organisation, or links to a specific foreign government. At the time, responsibility for the attack remained a matter of public dispute. Government ministers advanced one interpretation of the evidence. Craig Murray advanced another. Reposting a journalist who questions a government interpretation of events is not the same thing as promoting antisemitism. The commentary I retweeted by Craig Murray included links to an article he had published casting serious doubt upon the government’s version of what had happened. The social media rules do not prohibit communists from drawing attention to articles by journalists that question the positions taken by His Majesty’s Government. Whether the conspiracy theory promoted by the Home Secretary is correct is a matter of legitimate public debate. The panel asserted that certain reposted material constituted antisemitism. This assertion is not supported by evidence and is inconsistent with established legal standards. Another repost concerned commentary by Professor David Miller. The panel treated Miller’s statement as inherently antisemitic. Professor Miller had been dismissed by the University of Bristol following allegations made by several organisations regarded as sympathetic to Israel. Two independent investigations reportedly concluded that Miller had no case to answer on allegations of antisemitism. The Employment Tribunal subsequently ruled that his anti-Zionist beliefs were protected under the Equality Act. The investigatory panel nevertheless treated quotations from Miller as self-evidently antisemitic. In Miller v University of Bristol (Employment Tribunal, 2023), the Tribunal held: Anti‑Zionism is a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010. Criticism of Zionism, Zionist organisations, or the political influence of Zionist groups is not antisemitism. Miller’s anti‑Zionist arguments were rational, coherent, and lawful. Disciplinary action based on anti‑Zionist political speech is unlawful. It follows that reposting legally protected political speech cannot in itself constitute antisemitism; nor can reposting legally protected anti-Zionist political speech in itself constitute misconduct. The panel appears to have given credence to allegations against Professor Miller that were subsequently found, through repeated investigatory processes, to be unfounded. It then transferred the unjustified taint associated with his writings to me for quoting him.

I really hate to be a doomer or use my fee-fees for opinions but all the drama on twitter, all the bullshit i see on the internet or irl is getting to me
I spent a bit reading up on people's opinions, on some historical massacres, the genocides in sudan, palestine, the cultural revolution and the blood spilled there, the horrible crimes committed in the name of capital or communism or liberation or fascism and I think I understand a bit more about people now.
My dad and I often argue about one thing or another - and i love the man, but he is stubborn and old - and one of those arguments was about empathy. I argued that it is intrinsic, and not just a learned behavior. He argued against it, and now I think he was right
People dont *really* care about achieving a political goal (tho some do). What they care about is justifying their behavior. And most people are crude, violent apes, who behave accordingly. In every age people thought they were the enlightened Modern Man - free of the barbarity of the past. They thought that as they murdered their neighbours, raped children and whatever. So many people just want a group they can hate - whether its brown people, trans people, jews, women, atheists, muslims. Anyone who isnt you, basically.
Doesnt matter which political belief, doesnt matter who or what you are, doesnt matter where or when you live. Most people just want an US and a THEM, and the more of THEM that are subject to violence the better.
How can i begin believing in humanity again when hate mobs kill transhumanists like me, when soldiers murder, steal and rape all over the globe, when people all around the world justify the deaths of innocent people because of how or where they were born?
Why is it so hard for people to see others as people?

Doesnt matter which political belief, doesnt matter who or what you are, doesnt matter where or when you live. Most people just want an US and a THEM, and the more of THEM that are subject to violence the better.
How can i begin believing in humanity again when hate mobs kill transhumanists like me, when soldiers murder, steal and rape all over the globe, when people all around the world justify the deaths of innocent people because of how or where they were born?
Why is it so hard for people to see others as people?

Is picrel final proof idpol has gone too far?
Since when are we supposed to show solidarity with narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths? Isn’t it clear that said mentalities are cultural products of capitalism?
Also, comparing narcissism to autism is bullshit. No one is born a narcissist.
Is this the final boss of idpol or the time when idpol finally jumps the shark for good?

My main argument is that racists are given platforms to spread pseudo-science but basically no real scientists fights them out of fear of being grouped in with them and losing their reputation. No respected biologist wants to be known as the "racism debate guy" and this creates a lack of pushback.
I have yet to find a single intelligent "race realist", it's pretty much all ramblings about supposed hatred against whites and jewish conspiracies. On the flip side however I have not found any serious intellectuals actually contending with these ideas. Real scientists seem to not care about this topic whatsoever. Race "realists" are given free roam to spread propaganda with zero pushback.
Basically what I'm asking for is what are some intelligent discussions on biology in the context of race. The only really decent *popular* video I've seen is "the bell curve" by shaun but shaun is not a scientist and one video is not enough. There was another guy who I remember made good videos debunking these ideas but he had a heavy accent (perhaps german?) and I have not been able to find him since.
>It's because of censorship that this topic is not debated more!
I think the censorship angle actually works to the benefit of the racist as they are allowed to spread propaganda with zero recourse while an actual scientist engaging with them marks them to be endlessly harassed and looked down upon by other intellectuals for giving a racist a platform.

Former Israeli intelligence chief detained after helping Palestinian olive harvesters
Feldshuh, 77, had joined a group of retired senior security officials and activists helping Palestinians with the harvest. According to Commanders for Israel’s Security, the movement to which he belongs, settlers arrived and attacked Palestinian women, prompting members of the group to intervene. According to its mission statement, the movement aims to form "an agreement" with Palestinians based on the 1967 borders for a two-state solution.

Hunger strike in Lebanese prisons ends after settlement over amnesty bill reached
The bill, which was passed by parliament in August, was suspended after a parliamentary bloc filed an appeal against it, citing fears it would allow the release of Islamist detainees accused of mounting attacks against Lebanese army soldiers and servicemen. Some of them have spent long years in prison without standing trial. The country’s constitutional council rejected the appeal, instead mandating amendments to some clauses and the removal of others. More than 600 prisoners had been on hunger strike for 30 days in protest against the suspension of the law, which would have benefitted thousands by reducing their prison terms.

Israeli producer had access to data harvested by Poland using Pegasus spyware, say prosecutors
Data harvested from mobile phones by the Polish authorities using Pegasus spyware were transmitted outside Poland and were accessible to the tool’s Israeli producer, Polish prosecutors have revealed as part of an investigation into the use of Pegasus under the former government. Prime Minister Donald Tusk says that the case is “one of the biggest scandals in Polish history since the fall of communism”, and that it is “beyond any doubt” that the Israeli firm behind Pegasus, NSO Group, cooperates with Israeli intelligence.

Colombia’s national strike organizers “are instigators of evil,” claims De la Espriella
Wednesday’s protests are a preparation for a national strike that is set to take place in November and is supported by the country’s political opposition to the far-right government. According to the president, “those who are promoting the strike and seeking to use it to once again cause chaos and destabilize the government are the very same people who left the country bankrupt, on the brink of a blackout, with the healthcare system in intensive care, energy sovereignty compromised, and public resources plundered and looted.”

Bolivia investigates ex-president Evo Morales over alleged ties to 2009 killings
The investigation comes after a complaint filed by rightwing lawmakers Tomasa Yarhui and Rodrigo Antonio. When the raid occurred, Morales told the press during an official visit to Venezuela that he had ordered the detention of the foreigners, whom he called “mercenaries”. Family members and victims brought the case before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which concluded in 2021 that the government had violated human rights.

Drivers reject World Bank-backed "jeepney scrappage" scheme
Jeepney drivers and operators rejected a new World Bank-driven jeepney phaseout scheme. They said imperialist institutions and the puppet Marcos regime are conspiring to push the failed, anti-people and pro-foreign “transport modernization” program again. The new scheme is called “systematic scrappage” which aims to turn operators’ traditional jeepneys into scrappage and force them to rent from large companies’ vehicles to replace their units.

Police clash with Imran Khan supporters in northwestern Pakistan
Police fired tear gas and live rounds at supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan in northwestern Pakistan on Tuesday as clashes erupted over the suspension of his party's provincial government, party officials said, an account the provincial administration rejected. The federal government imposed a state of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Sunday and placed it under direct control, citing a surge in militant violence. Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party said that was a pretext for a political takeover.

Three years after October 7th this very difficult question needs to be asked:
Materially speaking, what can the American left — or any country’s left — do to actually “support” Palestine?
I’ve been an activist for Palestine solidarity since 2008. I’ve seen this movement change drastically during this time. Basically, 18 years ago you could support a two-state solution on the ‘67 border just fine without scrutiny. Now, post-Gaza genocide, you’re considered a “Zio” or “normalizer” if you support anything other than a full-blown Algeria scenario whereby every single Israeli Jew is deported or forced to flee. But let’s be honest: even if this is what we wanted, the American (or overall western) left has no ability to make this happen. It’s as stupid as claiming you’re a sellout unless you support a gigantic communist uprising happening tomorrow. Given that what we mentally support means nothing unless we can do material support, what’s the fucking point?
Oh but it’s a MORAL LITMUS TEST! — so fucking what? Even if we wanted to weed out the “immoral” people from our movement we still have no ability to carry out the results we want to see.
So where does that leave us? What should the left be doing for Palestine that it already hasn’t been doing for the past 20 years? We’ve done mass protests, boycotts, pressuring politicians, attempting to blockade weapons shipments, etc. Some people like Elias Rodriguez even used political violence. And guess what? Nothing happened in terms of the Palestinians winning. Israel’s reputation is in the shitter, but why hasn’t that translated into a Palestinian victory? How much longer do we have to wait for Israel to collapse, and if that happens on what basis would an “Algeria” scenario emerge?
Maybe I’m wrong but I really want to know what it actually means to “support Palestine” now.

/PRC/ People's Republic of China 24
>Bye, bye, Microsoft! – editionhttps://www.zdnet.com/article/china-drops-windows-for-linux/
The Chinese question is: how does a comfy non-imperialist nation transform itself into a global socialist model that can be reproduced and adopted by the rest of the world, without either reproducing the aggressive and counter-productive policies of the USSR or appearing toothless, while resolving the contradictions of the so-called first world FOR THEM and liberating them from capitalist domination, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?
<A thread for the harmonious discussion related to the saviour of socialism, the uplifter of nations, the king of cooperation, the soviet of SOVL, the enjoyer of empathy, the ally of Africa, the demigod of development, the bureaucracy for banter, the prince of ping pong, the lobotomizer of labour aristocracy, the protector against proxy wars, the sponsor of sophisticated sciences and culture, the guarantor of gommunism, the Proletarian Dictatorship of Chynah™.

Those folks are actually every single reason why I hate the West as a Pole and I don't want to have anything in common with it. I'm risking being called a Russian onuca with this attitude. But I prefer my own happiness than being constantly guilt-tripped by the Western powers for the crimes we the Polish people have never committed. I used to be philosemitic, because I was taught like that at school, forced to this or else I would face the consequences of "lawlessness", now I think that they don't like us.
During PRL at least there wasn't that craziness for Zionist America like now.
Why do Israeli Jews hate Poland so much? (real long answers please, no derailing)
Not only Israeli Jews, I noticed Zionists living in a lot of countries antagonizing Poland and Poles as well. Just because Poland talks about being victimized by Nazi Germany, Ukrainian UPA, Russian Soviets, Zionists always seem to want to suppress this knowledge, even about the existence of KL Warschau (which existed in my opinion). Jews want us not to have great positions in this society, they would degrade us into criminal status, using DARVO technique as well. What motivates them to be extremely hostile against Poland like that? I'm even leftist, I believe in women's rights and they hate me for being Polish. I wonder why. How is Gaza, I'm asking right now? Why aren't those people given any chance? So many questions at once. I have an impression that antipolonism is even promoted on social media and Tucker Carlson blamed us for the WWII as well. I think Putin is a Zionist pig as well and Russia is controlled by Israelis. Same with Ukraine, but they are more Nazi. Any explanation why does it happen to Poland? We are bombarded with Polish jokes as well and Polish sense of humor is interpret as a legit threat by Israeli-controlled Westerners. Our country is being a scapegoat and Westerners are told "you will end up like Poland if you won't be democratiĉ". Westies ofc are "allies" to us, my ass. Some of you wish upon us war against Russia, too.Those folks are actually every single reason why I hate the West as a Pole and I don't want to have anything in common with it.

Archery: Useful or Wasteful?
I live in a country without access to firearms or crossbows, so I have taken up archery. Pictured is my 30lb composite bow. I shoot up to 70lb. Is archery just a leisure sport or can it be useful?
