SARS-CoV-2 causes lasting immune dysregulation for over 20 months.
>Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise. The sustained subnormal lymphocytes—particularly in cardiovascular disease cohorts—highlight a key immunologic feature of long COVID and underscore the need for personalized care.
>Even 20 months post-infection, CD8+ T cells remained 9.9% below baseline. Baseline lymphocyte subsets differed significantly by sex and age. Immune recovery varied by age and sex, with older adults and males showing prolonged lymphopenia. In cardiovascular disease patients, T lymphocytes remained 72.9% below baseline for 20 months post-infection.

China to Enshrine Xi-Era Ethnic Policy in New Law

>Next week, China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) is expected to adopt a Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress (Law) [民族团结进步促进法]—designed to codify General Secretary Xi Jinping’s new orthodoxy for governing China’s ethnic minorities. That doctrine, known as the “Important Thinking on Improving and Strengthening Ethnic Work,” reflects the “Second-Generation Ethnic Policies” promoted by several prominent scholars. In a nutshell, this new “assimilationist” approach aims “not just to strengthen citizens’ sense of belonging to a larger, unified Chinese nation under the Party but also to mute expression of other—in the Party’s view, competing—identities.”

>Xi’s “Important Thinking” canonically consists of a dozen requirements, or “Twelve Musts” [十二个必须]. Echoing the scholarly proposals, these include prioritizing “forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation [or Zhonghua minzu]” [铸牢中华民族共同体意识], “building a shared spiritual home,” and “promoting extensive interactions, interchanges, and intermingling [交往交流交融] among different ethnic groups.” The doctrine also views ethnic issues through a securitized lens, emphasizing the duty of all ethnic groups to “consciously safeguard national unity, national security, and social stability.”

>Xi’s ethnic policy, moreover, calls for “correctly grasping” “Four Pairs of Relationships” [四对关系]—a concept that the Law’s drafters expressly invoke. One relationship concerns the hierarchy between the Han-centric Zhonghua culture and various ethnic cultures: the former is the “trunk [or backbone],” while the latter are subordinate to it, likened to “branches and leaves.” “Only when the roots are deep and the trunk is strong can the branches and leaves flourish,” Xi said in a seminal 2021 speech on ethnic governance.

>The Law is envisioned as “a comprehensive and fundamental law in the field of ethnic work.” Like statutes of this nature, it primarily contains general policy statements and imposes broad obligations on a wide array of state and private actors, with few enforceable rules. But it should not be dismissed as merely symbolic. The Law would legitimize and entrench Xi’s new doctrine by placing it on a firm legal footing. And, precisely because of its open-textured policy goals, it would supply a capacious statutory basis—à la the 2015 National Security Law [国家安全法]—for all official actions that broadly align with those goals.

>The Law’s high-profile legislative journey demonstrates its importance. The Communist Party expressly called for its enactment in the 2024 Third Plenum Decision. Last August, the Party revealed that the full Politburo had discussed a draft of the Law—the first such disclosure in almost four decades. In December, the NPC Standing Committee decided to refer the bill to the NPC on the ground that it qualifies as a “basic statute” [基本法律] on ethnic affairs that constitutionally must be approved by the full legislature.

>The Law’s political salience is also evident in two atypical features. First, it begins with a rare narrative preamble of over 800 characters. Only three statutes now include a preamble: the closely related Regional Ethnic Autonomy Law [民族区域自治法] and the Basic Laws of Hong Kong and Macao. Second, the Law uses Party-speak drawn from the “Twelve Musts” as the headings of three core chapters (II–IV): “Building a Shared Spiritual Home,” “Facilitating Interactions, Interchanges, and Intermingling,” and “Promoting Common Prosperity and Development.” Far from being descriptive and dry, as headings typically are, they incorporate key prongs of Xi’s doctrine and organize the Law around them.

>Finally, we briefly summarize the latest draft that NPC delegates received on March 5. This post will be updated after the Law’s final text is released.

The preamble presents the orthodox narrative that China’s various ethnic groups, through five millennia of shared history, have created a “unified multiethnic state”—“a community of common destiny bound by intertwined bloodlines, common beliefs, cultural similarities, economic interdependence, and close emotional ties”; and that, despite periods of foreign aggression after 1840, they have successfully preserved their civilization (para. 1).

>Later, the Communist Party, as the “vanguard of the Chinese people and the Zhonghua minzu,” led all ethnic groups in achieving independence and equality, charting “a correct path with Chinese characteristics for addressing ethnic issues” (para. 2). That approach has evolved into the Party’s “Important Thinking on Improving and Strengthening Ethnic Work,” under which its “main task” is to forge “a sense of community for the Chinese nation” [中华民族共同体意识]—a term that subsequently appears no fewer than 30 times in the Law (id.).

>The preamble concludes by calling on all citizens and institutions, state and private, to fulfill their shared obligations to “forge a sense of community for the Chinese nation” and to develop that community (para. 3).

>Chapters I and V set forth the organizational structure and overarching principles of ethnic governance. The Law affirms the Party’s “comprehensive leadership” over efforts to advance ethnic unity and progress (art. 2). Underneath it, the Party’s United Front Work Department and the National Ethnic Affairs Commission—the latter has been reporting to the former since 2018—are responsible for coordinating and supervising the implementation of the Party’s new ethnic policy (art. 41, para. 2).

>The Law declares “a sense of community for the Chinese nation” to be “the foundation of ethnic unity” (art. 6). It mobilizes the whole of government and society to achieve assimilationist goals, imposing general obligations on a wide range of public and private actors, including public employees, mass organizations, enterprises, public-service institutions, industry groups, religious institutions, neighborhood committees, and the military (arts. 42–48).

>Chapter II (Building a Shared Spiritual Home)lays the ideological foundation for the assimilation project. It affirms the policy of fostering identification with “the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China, and socialism with Chinese characteristics” through patriotic education, education in official historical narratives, publicity of “the fine Zhonghua traditional culture,” and promotion of “Chinese cultural symbols and image of the Chinese nation” (arts. 11–14).

>This Chapter then affords language and education particular attention. It incorporates the relevant rules of the newly revised Law on the Standard Spoken and Written Chinese Language [国家通用语言文字法], but often goes beyond them. For instance, it codifies the goal of having preschoolers become proficient in Putonghua and requires that Chinese characters be displayed more prominently than minority scripts if both must be used in public (art. 15, paras. 2, 4). It also tasks the education and ethnic affairs ministries with developing textbooks on “the community of the Chinese nation,” while requiring all schools to integrate that concept into their curricula (art. 16, paras. 1–2; art. 18, para. 1). This Chapter does vow to support the standardization, digitization, and preservation of minority texts (art. 15, para. 5), but the goal of such investment is to “protect languages from being completely forgotten rather than protecting their ongoing, everyday use by living people.”

>Finally, this Chapter broadly requires media, internet service providers, families, among others, to promote the Party’s ethnic policy (arts. 19–21). Parents are reminded of their duty to provide lawful family education and are prohibited from “instilling in minors ideas detrimental to ethnic unity and progress” (art. 20, para. 2).

>Chapter III (Facilitating Interactions, Interchanges, and Intermingling) aims to further social and spatial integration. It sets forth the overall governmental obligation to develop “inter-embedded community environments” [互嵌式社区环境] so that different ethnic groups can “live, study, build, share, work, and enjoy together” (art. 22). Toward that goal, local governments must strive to “forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation” and promote integration in all aspects of urban planning and governance (art. 23). Specifically, they are directed to implement policies to facilitate cross-regional population movement, employment, student enrollment, and teacher and youth exchanges (arts. 24–27).

>In addition, this Chapter instructs state authorities to promote integration by supporting—and shaping—volunteer services, cultural institutions (libraries, museums, etc.), the tourism industry, and modern technologies and online media (arts. 28–31). It reiterates internet service providers’ legal obligations to promptly stop the transmission of “information containing ethnic hatred, ethnic discrimination, or other content that undermines ethnic unity and progress.” (art. 31).

>Chapter IV (Promoting Common Prosperity and Development) focuses on integrating ethnic and border areas into national economic and security priorities. It requires all economic and social policies to further assimilationist objectives, to improve people’s lives and build popular support—and to help safeguard national unity and fight against separatism (art. 33). It emphasizes the “mission and responsibility” of ethnic areas to safeguard the nation’s “border security, resource and energy security, food security, and ecological security” (art. 34, para. 2). It also lays out general mandates for the relevant central and local authorities to improve infrastructure connectivity, develop appropriate local industries and agriculture, equalize public services, and strengthen environmental protection (arts. 35–38).

>This Chapter ends by pivoting to “civic and moral development” (art. 40). In the name of development, it announces the policy of “transforming outdated customs and traditions” [移风易俗] and “promoting a new culture of civility and progress” (id.). This provision appears to reflect the common stereotype that all ethnic minorities are “backward” and to curtail their distinctive cultural and religious practices.

>Chapters V and VI both touch on the Law’s enforcement mechanisms. It permits citizens to report conduct that “undermines ethnic unity and progress” and to lodge complaints against government agencies and employees who fail to discharge their obligations under the Law (art. 54, para. 1). When any such conduct also “undermines national interests or the public interest,” procuratorates may initiate public interest litigation (id. para. 2).

>Beyond generic provisions directing the competent authorities to stop violations and order corrections, and in some cases to issue warnings or notices of criticism, the Law by itself does not prescribe any meaningful punishments. Rather, it leaves penalties to be imposed under other applicable laws (arts. 57–62). For instance, inciting ethnic hatred or discrimination is punishable, depending on the severity, by up to 15 days of detention under the public-order offenses law, or up to 10 years in prison under the criminal code.

>Finally, the Law asserts jurisdiction over foreign organizations or individuals who “commit acts targeting the PRC that undermine ethnic unity and progress or create ethnic division” (art. 63).

National independence? That means the masters' independence. The laws that send you to jail when you demand better living conditions? The flag? Does it wave over a country where you are free and have a home, or does it rather symbolize a country that meets you with clenched fists when you strike for better wages and shorter hours? Will you fight for your masters' religion which teaches you to obey them even when they tell you to kill one another?

Help me choose a girl name for myself. I have some ideas for a few names already but i don’t know if any of them are good or not.

>claire
it sounds very elegant and dainty, which I like. But I’m worried it might be too much of a stereotypical transgirl name like Alice.

>Vivian
I think it sounds unique and cool while also sounding a bit elegant aswell. But maybe it’s too weird. I also don’t want people to think I named myself after Vivian Medrano (creator of hazbin hotel)

>Jessica
More common and sounds nice, but not as classy as the others

>Stormy
I think it sounds very cute but I’m worried it sounds too much like a pet name

>Pamilla
It’s basically the girl version of my cis name, so would probably be the easiest name for the people in my life to get used to calling me. Also shares a name with pamilla voorhese which is cool. But the name sounds too much like a grandma name for my tastes.

Any feedback on my name ideas or suggestions of your own would be greatly appreciated. I don’t want to accidentally name myself something stupid

What the fuck is going on with RCI?

I was looking to join RCA and took a deep dive into the RCI/IMT stuff and i'm genuinely shocked.

>party bureaucrats (Alan Woods, Rob Sewell, Fred Weston, Ana Munoz) halting actual progress to maintain a paycheck
>IMT splits where London and Alan Woods overreached and tried to control other parties genuinely progressing revolution
>constant merchandising, collecting funds, to the point where no one knows where the money is going
>older members using influence to sexually exploit younger members
>those younger members are being recruited because they're disillusioned with Capitalism and seek refuge

I'm genuinely disgusted, this is so cult like, even when I talk to RCI members they ignore me or simply act like what i'm saying is nonsense and has no basis in reality. I'm genuinely worried for a lot of these members. This is predatory. The people of RCI need to coup the bureaucrats and London.

I legitimately think Blanchardism it's the ecquivalent of a nuclear bomb in the trans ecosphere.

a rust stain in an already slow mechanism.

we can't literally brush it off without hurting and we can't ignore it without it spreading like a cancer.

if we decide to not talk about it it generates doubt, it makes us look afraid of it, almost like we're hiding something.

if we talk about it it hurts also, we know it's there just to hurt, but it's already there and ignoring it would make as much damage as looking at it too much.

but it has already corroded what little mechanisms we had in place and sometimes it makes you think if it's a mechanism worth even saving over just making a new one.

saving our already corroded ammo and replacing the old lead slugs with new jacketed points.

and making sure our new system even if it uses old production molds in this trying time it's able to create a doctrine that withstands time and pressure.

if this sounds too schizo is because my consciousness is currently working on the background and i'm just writing shit for the sake of writing shit

Cockshott & the T

You know that Cockshott article?
Cockshott, P. (2020). Class, Demography, and Gay Politics in the West. World Review of Political Economy, 11(1).
and his writings on gays being more likely to have petty bourgeois class interests due to household income disparities?

I don't wholly agree with him, and there are several critiques of his paper to be made – e. g. his neglect of finer stratification within the 'LGBT movement', his making no attempt to account for confounding variables (which research into the economics of gender and sexuality is fraught with), his bold acceptance of income as a proxy of class – but it seems to me that his analysis can be extrapolated well to cover some aspects of transhumanistdom (which he seems to completely gloss over in his work).

If we apply his analysis to transhumanists, we will find that they rank below all other gender groups in come; moreover, in the case of transsexuals, they incur additional medical costs throughout their lives while being very commonly cut off from traditional familial economic support. Therefore, they are expected to be less likely to espouse petty bourgeois class interests, transgender women especially so. We see exactly that in the high rates of radicalization among them; we also see that lesbians are the most eager allies to transhumanists among cis people, which aligns with Cockshott's identification of them as the more progressive of the LG. This analysis can also be leveraged to explain the lower political mobilization of transgender men vs. women, the neoliberal co-optation of transgenderism vs. transsexualism etc., but that's stepping into the territory of lacking data and/or unquantifiable metrics.

I suppose that makes transhumanists the proletarians of gender….. or perhaps the lumpen

please tell me if this is silly or if i happened to misunderstand Cockshott

COMRADES OF LEFTYPOL, ERIK HOUDINI NEEDS YOUR SOLIDARITY
Houdini has been arrested.
https://gofund.me/826555a5f

He is in deep Florida country. Anons in Florida, please do what you can for him. Those who can make online payments, please help him.

Pasting the message from his comrades:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
TL;DR Our friend Erik is in jail for allegedly trolling a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, and we’re putting together a bail fund for him. If we don't get him out in 10 days or locate a foster the local animal shelter may put down his dog.

—

Hey everyone. We do not come here lightly and it is with a heavy heart that we come to you and ask for monetary assistance. Not for ourselves but for a dear friend of ours who was arrested Tuesday February 24th 2026 by the police.

Sometime in November of 2025, not long after the Kirk assassination, our friend allegedly got into a conflict on Instagram with a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, when she visited their city. In this conflict he allegedly referenced Kirk's assassination and that was enough for her to take these as threats on her life and call the police on him and an investigation was conducted where they allegedly found evidence of plans to harass Bennet next time she visits their City.

He never threatened to hurt or kill her, but they live in one of the most conservative areas in the the country where stochastic terrorists like Bennet can get away with whatever and sic the police on political dissidents.

We spoke with the detective handling his case and he informed me that the state is only seeking probation for him, but as many of you know we live in a tiered justice system and the first hurdle in that justice system is bail bonds. Despite the state not seeing him as dangerous and not seeking to put him in prison or charge him with a felony they set his bail to $20K with his first court date being March 31st.

We will have to go the bail bondsman route which means we need $2k to pay the bail bondsman and get him out of jail. Or somehow raise the full $20k. Past this our friend will need assistance with court fees, lawyer fees, living and eating expenses, and more.

My friend Erik has been experiencing housing instability for over 8 months now living out of a motel in the area. He just landed a full time position 2 weeks ago and was finally going to see some stability in his life which makes the timing of all this incredibly tragic. The sooner we get him out of jail and back to his job the less disruptive this will be to his life.

His dog Jax was also taken to a local animal Shelter by the police and he has 10 days to claim him and if he does not claim Jax then Jax might be put down. Suffice to say he cannot claim Jax while in jail.

Please donate whatever you can time is of the essence here.

—

Please see an excerpt below of Erik's project Houdini Magazine, where you may famously know him from:

"HOUDINI magazine is the brainchild of Erik Houdini and a faceless army of working class—writers, artists, musicians, researchers, scientists, producers, first responders, film makers, journalists, clerks, taggers, goths, 'reformed' felons, juggalos, janitors, freaks, radicals, truckers, addicts, activists, schemers, plotters, connivers, psychonauts, conspirators, swashbucklers, dastardly dudes, femme fatales, them fatales— and whoever else decided that today was the day we start giving a shit about each other.

Well over half a million total visitors. The big dogs of the underground. HOUDINI exists to reclaim counterculture from the branded dead. Anti-corpo, broke as fuck, grindset bros who read Marx. Hustlers who respect their own, living theory without reading it, tired of being ground into soylent by the powers that be. Chaos magicians who dog-ear Kropotkin. Real, human, DIY, underground counterculture.

We believe a true counterculture, should it be forged, must be anti-capitalist. It must be anti-algorithmic. We must break through the prison walls of capital's psychic warfare on our souls and into a new era.

Remember: No doomers. Uplift. Struggle."

Why do you think the Western left will never succeed?

These are issues as to why I think the Western Left will never do anything or succeed at anything. It's not exhaustive, but I do ask why other people here critical of the Western Left, think the Western Left has failed and will continue to fail to enact any sort of change whatsoever?
>Most Leftists are pretty ideologically antisocial, arrogant, elitist, do not like normies (especially working class people) and look down on them.
>Vast majority of what the Left does is ingroup virtue signalling. Every Protest, every newspaper sold, every shouting slogan, every cancellation, all anti-imperialism, isn't really done for a real purpose but virtue signalling and just group activities
>Leftists are holier than thou in the most moronic ways possible, they refuse to use modern PR, modern marketing, modern public speaking skills, Frame Communist and Socialist ideals in ways that are actually appealing and don't sound like a 1917 Larp.
>Because modern Leftism is a alternative scene, rather than a political movement, being a normal person who is charismatic, or works out, or good looking, is actually frowned upon.
>Anti-Imperialism doesn't mean anything or have any goal yet is the raison detre of the modern left.
>Anti-Imperialism never works because the left refuses to actually do anything to put themselves into positions where they have power to do anything actually anti-imperialist. It's mostly just seething and pointing at elites saying "LOOK YOU'RE BAD HYPOCRITS" while they respond "who cares?".
>Too many "Anti-Imperialists" just devolve into vulgar edgy campism. Many also seriously hope the third will will just rise up and save them.
>Shit like mass immigration is only supported because a lot of leftists are genuinely racist against white people and are wildly oikophobic and want to see "white people" suffer out of teenage level spite against boring suburban upbringings. Another is purely just a naieve white saviour complex or orientalism combined with christcuck morality that more "oppressed" groups are more moral.
>Most modern Leftists positions are really driven by peer ingroup "empathy" pressure than Materialism.
>Shitlib TikTok/Tumbler narratives take precedence over Marxism every time. I've seen countless dedicated Marxists purged from orgs over the years for not adhering to new incoherent Tumblr woketard line.
>Young Socialists are genuinely retarded yet make up most of the activist base. If a Leftist is frankly, under 30, they most likely are going to be arrogant, refuse to listen to more experienced members as fuck and wrong about everything. Younger members almost always push towards mindless militancy that just turns off regular people.
>Socialists over 55 have mostly just given up on any real serious change and usually just treat Socialist orgs as their social book club.
>Anyone with a brain, good skills, PR skills etc will generally realize these people are a lost cause leave any Socialist org and go into actual staffing, PR, media careers etc around their late 20s. Same issue that the military has where intelligent people leave to greener pastures after 4-8 years leaving incompetents behind to run everything.
>The left refuses to accept it's tactics and strategy don't work, relies on copium to explain otherwise. Leftists are terrible at self-reflection and criticism when it comes to strategy. This is why so many leftist strategies have not changed or updated for a literal fucking century despite never working outside of a specific historical context.
Been part of the organised left since the early 2000s to Covid. These are a tip of the iceberg of the issues I repetedly saw with near every group, and a vast majority of the left I interacted with.

How do YOU view a labor aristocrat

I went through debates with other people about what makes someone a labor aristocrat. They define it as the sector of the working class who benefit from the colonized fruits. The guy viewed every worker in the united states as automatic aristocrats. "What the people who still struggle on those developed countries?" I said. They replied that they are still under the fruits of the imperial pie. A labor aristocrat gains satisfaction with their pay, growing its dependency for the existing system. The 9-5 cashier does not. Sure, the 3rd world and 1st world proletariat will view each other differently, but that barrier does not reject the fact that they are the byproducts of class struggle.

Israel is preparing for an extended offensive against Hezbollah that is likely to continue even after the war on Iran ends, according to reports. Despite previously saying the campaign in Iran could last up to four or five weeks, US President Donald Trump on Monday signalled that the war was ahead of schedule and "very complete, pretty much", while Israeli officials have estimated the conflict could last "weeks".

/Paranormal Evidence/

Post your most compelling evidence of anything in the realm of the paranormal.

Fossilized Giants are everywhere and there really is a conspiracy in place to hide this fact (see stellium7 Mountgo videos where google earth censored the eye socket of a giant elephant he was studying). My guess would be that they don't want the general population to know that the world was created because they want the serfs to be uneducated atheists or agnostics. I guess they forgot that all secrets come to light and everything which is buried will be unearthed. Ever wonder why it's called the "FACE" of the earth?

The number of biological synchronicities are too great to be coincidental.

Foreign policy a think tank proposal to advancement of peace and socialism

thread for foreign policy proposals to advance the cause of peace and socialism and create an alternative to war

Sorry for the long title, the purpose of this thread is for anons of any country to create a clear and precise foreign policy. Name the country your at and your idea for the agenda you think it should set forth on the world stage.

I’ll start am a burger

The dismantling of Israel, through sanctions and or war if necessary
Negotiating the end of the Ukraine war. Offering Russia Donbas, Crimea and splitting the cost of the rebuilding of Ukraine. Also the negotiation of accepting Israel refugees.
The winding down of empire, begin drawing back military bases, slashing the defense budget massively. Ending the majority of economic sanctions
rapprochement With Iran
Increase relations with China and look to possible economic alliance. Get some of that sweet sweet high speed rail and investment into reindustrializing the U.S.
Marshal plan for the American continents. Helping LatinAM develop strengthen our brother nations and our relationship towards them.

Some my ideas please criticize or counter propose. I know this is just LARP but a lot of leftist creators hang out here and it trickles out through the broader left . I’m hoping we can start putting forward a counter vision to the bourgeoisie imperial rape machine instead of just reacting to it.

¿Por qué hay tan poca influencia de la izquierda asiática en la región? Nadie toma como referente a Vietnam o Laos, menos discutir de líderes como Deng Xiaoping o Ho Chi Minh, si a caso solo mencionan de Norcorea y repitiendo pura propaganda.

The 4chan Pass is literally the ultimate utility for AI spammers. For just $20 a year, you get to bypass the only real barrier—captchas. It allows bot nets to flood the board with LLM-generated slop 24/7 without getting flagged by the automated spam filters. Since Pass users get higher trust scores and can post through VPNs/proxies, it’s basically a 'license to shill.' If you’re wondering why /g/ is 50% dead internet noise, thank the Pass for making automation cheap and frictionless.

Do you think you would be able to do the time?

Not to fedpost or be a defeatist, but anyone feeling kinda discouraged from anti state action considering that prison is a hyper-right wing environment and knowing how badly leftists get treated in there? If you are a sexual minority as i assume a lot of yall are then rape and extreme mistreatment by both guards and inmates is practically assured. Just read about what the palestine protesters go through when they get locked up, and what happens to gays and trans is pure nightmare fuel. Just having progressive beliefs inside could get you beaten or worse. Ive read a lot about this topic and its extremely blackpilling. Im fairly physically strong myself and have decent street smarts considering the kinda people i hung out with the most and i believe i could handle that environment to some extent but being gay im afraid of getting raped and sexually abused which to me is worse than physical violence tenfold.

financial/prediction markets and gommunism

I make a living off daytrading stocks, I'm not a millionaire but I consider myself comfortable, I enjoy what I do and like the freedom it brings me but even then I understand it's parasitical and doesn't really provide any value to society, I'm not building anything or providing any service people need, I'm just extracting value by picking the right moves at the right time.

what will happen to people like me if the US empire falls? from what I understand the financial world is pure bullshit that syphons money from real industries through exploitation, tech, stocks, crypto, AI, it all depends on the ability of the empire to exploit the third world.

what happens when the exploitation stops and the world starts running on a real economy based on labour instead of speculation? do construcion workers get huge raises and people like me end up in the streets? can traders and speculators be useful in socialism?

This shit is some of the most ludicrous, hyperbolic grievance mongering I have ever read. There's interesting shit floating around in here, but it is drifting in a sea of "every man is a wife-beating rapist who caused all the world's problems." Even though the book is directly comparing Zionism and feminism and seems to advocate for a lady Israel, it's mostly just couched in whining about men. Dworkin doesn't even have the fucking stones to be a strong Zionist. She's one of these wishy-washy Zionists who thinks that Zionists and Palestinians can co-exist, and maybe one day Israeli and Palestinian women can come together and unite against their REAL enemy: men!

Need help

Hey /pol/. It’s come to my attention that a known Zionist music producer is coming to my town of Montreal this summer. The Alchemist is a known Zio who has produced songs for “Israeli” artists and even made an instrumental album a few years ago entitled “Israeli Salad” ;after a stolen traditional Palestinian dish). Him being invited as part of Montreal’s Jazzfest is a BLATANT violation of BDS. It is an insult to all the Palestinian musicians who lost everything in the genocide. I need help organizing something against this guy when he comes. I’m thinking a protest outside the venue but I don’t know how many people will show up. Any suggestions?

Note: Montreal has sone of the most trigger-happy cops in North America so I would prefer something that won’t get us into legal trouble.

Legal Vanguardism

How exactly are you supposed to overthrow the government of the most powerful country on Earth with a legally registered above ground organization where members don't hide their affiliation and which can never ever ever commit a crime? I don't support adventurism or terrorism or firebombing a Walmart or useless political assassinations that only have symbolic results. But revolution is still illegal and actually successfully accomplishing a real revolution involves committing countless crimes, often violent ones, and requires being actually capable of withstanding extremely intense state repression. The "left" in Western countries seems stuck in an eternal malaise where it struggles to accomplish virtually anything. Why? Let's look at the Western left. You either have glorified liberal NGOs with red flags doing an endless bullshit loop of holding up signs and selling newspapers or fighting losing battles to get tiny NLRB contracts, or ocassionally you have a schizophrenic anarchist/symbionese liberation army cult doing nothing but adventurism and firebombing walmarts. I posit that this malaise is because making a left-wing party is legal in liberal democracies, so any normal left wing party is lured to become a "legal" organization with all that entails. The exceptions in Western society naturally tend towards pure adventurism. I think the Bolsheviks actually significantly benefited from being an illegal underground party through most of the course of their existence. They had to learn the organizational tools to genuinely learn to survive state repression, to act decisively, and to build dual power without resorting to mindless suicidal adventurism. A revolution is not legal, so why would you try to accomplish the most brazenly illegal act of all (overthrowing the government) with a defanged legal organization? If the government decided to to a second Red Scare tomorrow, all these orgs would instantly evaporate. We need to go underground before being a communist is illegal and not after.

US-Israel rift emerges after strikes on Iranian fuel depots
Citing a US official, an Israeli official and a source familiar with the matter, Axios said the scale of the operation sparked "the first significant disagreement between the allies since the war began eight days ago". The dispute stems from US concerns that targeting infrastructure serving Iranian civilians could backfire strategically, potentially rallying Iranian society around the government while also pushing global oil prices higher.

THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM

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

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

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

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

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

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