I’m amazed by how many misinterpretations or outright false claims surrounding the nazis objectives there are from myths of European unification to the genuine belief that genocide was not the first priority of the Nazi party.
Reading comprehension surrounding nazism
One confusing aspect of nazism in the modern and Cold War era day is the hysterical avoidance of recognition of the primary objective of the original German nazi party, the total conquest and erasure of all non German european people. These people included but not limited to, polish people, anyone registering as Slavic, British people, Spaniards, Italians, non Germanic birds, Romani peoples, Romanians, Greeks, Turks depending on whether you consider turkey European, and a few others. This was explicitly outlined in the manifesto of the Nazi party mein kampf that genocide of these groups was the first priority of the German Nazi party, it was also implicitly outlined that the nazis saught to recreate at least on a more philosophical level the British empires expansion in the new world and in african, oceanic, and Asian colonies in European territory.I’m amazed by how many misinterpretations or outright false claims surrounding the nazis objectives there are from myths of European unification to the genuine belief that genocide was not the first priority of the Nazi party.

>Bolshevik revolutionaries overthrew the government on October 24, 1917, subsequently creating the Soviet government. The amounts of payments in default were enormous.[3] Russian debt to Great Britain alone at the end of World War I was estimated at between 538 and 568 million pounds. The amount of debt to France was estimated at 3,573 million francs and Russian foreign debt to Japan equaled 147 million dollars.[citation needed]
The debt repudiation
>On February 8, 1918, the Soviet government repudiated all bonds issued by the Tsarist government when the Soviet of People's Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) cancelled all previously issued Russian government debt. It stopped payment on foreign debt at the beginning of 1918 and declared that all debts contracted by the Russian Empire were cancelled, as well as the debts contracted by the Russian Provisional Government, so that the war could be continued from February to November 1917.[citation needed]
>At the same time, the Soviets decided to expropriate all assets of foreign nations in Russia. The Soviets also nationalized banks, lands, and industries. By repudiating the external debt, the Soviet government implemented the Petrograd Soviet’s decision of 1905.[4]
debt is not real
you can just cancel debt and then expropriate expropriators. money is not real. bourgeois economics is fake.>Bolshevik revolutionaries overthrew the government on October 24, 1917, subsequently creating the Soviet government.

stop falling for the "genius" meme. marx didn't have a single original thought; he just had a massive training data set. he spent years in the british museum scraping parliamentary reports and classical econ, then just restructured the output.>labor theory of value? stolen from smith/ricardo.

On Friday, United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement that he had spoken to Fils-Aime and “emphasised the importance of his continued tenure as Haiti’s Prime Minister to combat terrorist gangs and stabilise the island”. Rubio added that the TPC “must be dissolved by February 7 without corrupt actors seeking to interfere in Haiti’s path to elected governance for their own gains”.

Mexico weighs stopping oil shipments to Cuba amid concerns of Trump retaliation, sources say
Publicly, Sheinbaum has said Mexico will continue oil shipments to Cuba, saying they are based on longterm contracts and considered international aid. But the senior Mexican government sources said the policy is under internal review as anxiety grows within Sheinbaum's cabinet that the shipments could antagonize Trump. Mexico is trying to negotiate a review of the USMCA North American trade pact, while also persuading Washington it is doing enough to combat drug cartels and that U.S. military action against the groups on Mexican territory is neither welcome nor needed.

US threatens to starve Iraq of its oil dollars over Iranian influence, sources say
The U.S. warning was delivered repeatedly over the past two months by the U.S. Charge d'Affaires in Baghdad, Joshua Harris, in conversations with Iraqi officials and influential Shia leaders, according to three Iraqi officials and one source familiar with the matter who spoke to Reuters for this story. The message was delivered to some heads of Iran-linked groups via intermediaries, they said.

UAE abruptly cuts aid to vital hospitals after withdrawing from Yemen
UAE-funded hospitals played a vital role for Yemenis after more than a decade of conflict had damaged public health infrastructure and left many unable to afford private healthcare. Patients from far and wide sought these these facilities in search of high-quality, free healthcare. Many undertake long journeys to access specialised surgeries that are unavailable in public hospitals and prohibitively expensive in private clinics.

Australian, Palestinian lawyers seek police probe of Israeli president
Three Australian and Palestinian legal groups have formally called on the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to investigate Israeli President Isaac Herzog for his role in alleged war crimes amid reports he will visit Australia early next month. The organisations said on Friday that they had written to “urgently alert” the AFP of their concerns “in light of serious and credible criminal allegations of incitement to genocide and advocating genocide” by President Isaac Herzog during Israel’s “military onslaught” in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

Thousands of workers flee Cambodia scam centres, officials say
Thousands of people, including suspected victims of human trafficking, are estimated to have been released or escaped from scam compounds across Cambodia over recent days, after growing international pressure to crackdown on the multibillion-dollar industry. The Indonesian embassy in Phnom Penh said it had received reports from 1,440 of its nationals who had been released from scam centres, while large queues of Chinese nationals were also seen outside the Chinese embassy.

Spanish court points finger at Israel as it drops Pegasus spyware case again

French PM forces budget through parliament after surviving two no-confidence vote
Lecornu had sought to make concessions in the spending bill to please the Socialists, a key swing group in the hung parliament, in order to survive the votes to oust him. Among the concessions was Lecornu’s agreement that a controversial pension reform would not be implemented until after the 2027 presidential elections.

Thousands in unsafe homes following 'catastrophic' government insulation schemes
Major defects have been identified in more than 30,000 homes fitted with insulation under the Eco4 and Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) since 2022, according to a damning report by the Commons public accounts committee. The committee said the schemes were so badly designed they were almost “bound to fail” and warned that the extreme level of non-compliance by installers should be investigated for fraud.

Additionally, cultural differences would carefully be taken into account so as to not produce scenarios of misunderstanding, conflict and confusion that inflame national, ethnic or religious tensions. This is how, practically, all Communist states dealt with immigration. Carefully and extremely controlled. Under socialist economic planning, spontaneous and unrestricted mass immigration is impossible. The flow of labor, the settlement of populations, and the patterns of life cannot be treated as a "free for all" when your economy is actually planned in a rational way. But at the same time, Communists reject antagonizing immigrants under the current capitalist system. Here are the reasons:
<Strategically, it makes no sense to give your enemies - the capitalist ruling class - a free base of support. By demonizing immigrants, you drive them into the arms of your enemy. The enemy should always be divided, never given the chance to unite on any basis.
<It is fruitless. The same infighting frenzy and instincts that lead people to demonize immigrants will eventually lead to infighting and division within the ranks of the national working class. Especially in multi-ethnic countries like America. Division within our own ranks cannot be tolerated and must be stamped out ruthlessly. Prioritizing the issue of immigration only builds a movement that is focused on immigrants themselves - not any actual institutional or state policy. We can see that anti-immigrant politics never actually changes the policy. Look at Meloni in Italy. Trump also didn't "build the wall." It just whips up duped and distracted idiots into supporting the system. To change any state policy one must have an impersonal, wise, and collected view. Anti immigrant hysteria is not conducive to this.
<It reinforces national chauvinism in the context of US imperial policy. By demonizing Haitian immigrants for example, consensus is built for more US-led intervention into Haiti. It is also hypocritical and unprincipled to forego responsibility your own government has in enforcing the same global imperialist system that devastates and enslaves other countries, leading to huge refugee populations and economic migrations. To oppose immigration policy while supporting the US global system is a violation of one's own national honor. It is craven, hypocritical, and morally bankrupt.
<It mistakes the cause for the effect. The chief cause of mass migration is to import a class of foreign slaves so as to enforce the dismantlement of the native power of Labor. But the domestic cost of labor has only risen so immensely because rentier fianance capitalists have driven up the cost of living to an extraordinary degree. This has led to de-industrialization on a mass scale. Mass immigration is not the chief cause of the destruction of the power of Labor- but a symptom of it. Therefore, the focus should be based more on the root cause, which is the domestic struggle for economic sovereignty and emancipation from debt slavery.
The more people of your nation face economic pressure, the more they will be whipped into a frenzy looking for people to hate and to blame. The more resentment will increase. Communists, while having the correct, realistic and wise position on mass immigration and it's root causes, will not lower themselves to this frenzy of stupidity and cannibalism - or somehow confuse it for a principled opposition to the policy of mass immigration.
The Communist view on immigration
First, if they seized power, Communists would restrict all unilateral global immigration. No Communist state in history had "open borders." Immigration would be restricted to countries with bilateral economic agreements to ensure that it is rational and harmonious with national economic plans.Additionally, cultural differences would carefully be taken into account so as to not produce scenarios of misunderstanding, conflict and confusion that inflame national, ethnic or religious tensions. This is how, practically, all Communist states dealt with immigration. Carefully and extremely controlled. Under socialist economic planning, spontaneous and unrestricted mass immigration is impossible. The flow of labor, the settlement of populations, and the patterns of life cannot be treated as a "free for all" when your economy is actually planned in a rational way. But at the same time, Communists reject antagonizing immigrants under the current capitalist system. Here are the reasons:

all rivals of SDF are pro-amerimutt zion-neolib states as HTS or Turgay, war criminals and bandits who hire children in refugee camps and are aligned with NATO. Victory of SDF in Syria is victory for socialism. PKK supports PRC and SWCC, more 'multipolarista' than avg. libtard faggot. Turkey supports uyghur terrorists and thus deserves to be dismantled
PKK and SDF consistently supported Palestinian resistance far more than any of rival factions, this is a null common complaint from Turkish-aligned anti-rojava cockroaches.
>muh kurd ethnostate
AANES recruits many of arab poor and middle class, the councils in raqqa and arab regions are all arab, only a retarded person can believe so. Approximately 65% of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are Arab troops.

What stops you now? Turkish maoists whom fight under SDF think differently from you.
>muh apoist cult
Cult for great revolutionaries such as robiespierre, lenin, makhno(hanged mennonites), stalin, mao zedong is historically progressive.

Led by a vanguard party of PYD, promotes cooperatives and socialization, yet hampered by same problems faced by every socialist government in a backwards country/post-collapse situation with black markets and sanctions, petty propertiers and lack of ability to property concentrate and industrialize, such as oil exports blocked by Turkish pressure. If SDF takes Damascus, it can begin more ambitious programs.
>muh not really anarchist
Transitional State.
>muh incomptent
AANES has highest salaries in region despite being under siege, it is least corrupt of all regions as with testimonies of visitors and buisnessmen, SDF is most competent of all forces, and has won over great non-kurdish masses and earned genuine democratic progress despite adverse condition. SDF and what it have achieved in post-collapse Syria where authority devolves into local communities is a model to note for future revolutionaries and partisans in western world as it spirals into chaos and anarchy. It is model for establishing governance in hostile region controlled by religious fanatics and equivalent of neo-nazis. For creating a party and a counter-state from ground up.
Rojava is under attack by Pro-NATO Jolani technocratic-neoibtard-islamist sludge forces, which threatens to do same to Rojava as the Talibans against Red Afghanistan.
It is the most important liberation struggle there is at the moment. Then use every avenue to salvage it. Iran and Gaza is secondary to signifiance of Rojava. SDF is the sole force in Syria that has consistently prosecuted war crimes and improved living standards of population, and stands between minorities and ISIS, what is occuring in Syria is more brutal and worse than what is going on in Iran and Ukraine, it is thus the priority of highest order.

"Durante um parto incrivelmente fantástico e cheio de mistérios, correria e pânico por parte de enfermeiras e médicos, uma senhora deu a luz num hospital de São Bernardo do Campo a uma estranha criatura, com aparência sobrenatural, que tem todas as características do diabo, em carne e osso. O bebezinho, que já nasceu falando e ameaçou sua mãe de morte, tem o corpo totalmente cheio de pelos, dois chifres pontiagudos e um rabo de aproximadamente cinco centímetros, além do olhar feroz, que causa medo e arrepios."

However, you hear of the increased growth of tomatoes, for example, in Mexico, because of their comparative advantage, and of impressive manufacturing sector in things like automobiles and even increasingly electronics. These are remarkable things. In the big picture as an internationalist you have to support them here, to the extent to which you thank trade for these things.
On the other side of the deal you read just as many stories today of towns wiped off the map by deindustrialization, and that even though productivity has increased employment for these high-value added has declined without end. This is the issue with trade in at least the Anglo-sphere, and once upon a time the former Soviet Union at the minimum: deindustrialization. I know it's likely somewhat controversial to discuss these two groups together, and it might be a mistake, but the inquiry stands.
I'd like to discuss what's the problem with deindustrialization, and how does it relate to trade?
Internationalist Trade Policy
When I was a kid I remember reading about rural agriculturalists in Mexico who after the signing of NAFTA found themselves priced out, for the production of corn I think, and forced into migration or poverty. I also recall hearing that the TPP (and apparently NAFTA), operated largely to enforce "corporate rights" as persons, or even more, in the imperial periphery, beyond the lowering of tariffs. In these details there can be nothing but opposition.However, you hear of the increased growth of tomatoes, for example, in Mexico, because of their comparative advantage, and of impressive manufacturing sector in things like automobiles and even increasingly electronics.

I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson. I'm obviously talking about Americans here but I'm sure you can name plenty of examples from other countries. What psychological factors cause someone to abandon leftism and fully embrace the right, and even worse, turn on their former comrades?
Is it simply the case that they upheld leftism as a dogma, so when their "god" died they found another god? Is it because they were always authoritarian assholes and embraced the right when the right gave them a better outlet for being authoritarian assholes? Was it because they found that the left was moving in a direction they didn't approve of, so they gradually became rightist? Or, using the narrative they themselves most often parrot, they felt "betrayed" by the left so in turn they betrayed the left?
Also, why do we rarely see any prominent right-wingers turning to the left?

Islam is more radical and sober than western atheism
The people of the Islamic resistance (Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran) are some of the sober people on the planet. Just listen to what Nasrallah said about the US/Israel alliance, that Israel is in fact a US outpost and not the other way around and that Jews don't really control the world and such. Compare that to the schizophrenic western conspiracy theories about Jewish cabal.
Islam is the right ideology to fight western imperialism. Prove me wrong.

No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

Now that China will have overwhelmingly won the trade war against the USA and will be the primary trade power in south america, north america (minus USA), western europe, eastern europe, the middle east, africa and asia.
Given that, when can we expect China to implement global socialism?

Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

How exactly do we successfully fight against and reverse Gen Alpha brainrot?

This stuff is becoming alarming. When I was a little kid in the 90s I would watch stuff that had actual substance to it (think: Disney renaissance, Don Bluth films, TV shows like Arthur). Plus our parents made an effort to read to us and get us looking at science books and history books for kids. When I babysit my neighbours’ kids who are eight and six (both boys) I’m horrified by how stupid they are. They can’t read at all. They can’t play musical instruments. They don’t do arts and crafts. They have the vocabularies of preschool-aged kids. They can’t do math and the eight-year old asks me to do his math homework for him. Both of them are either glued to their iPads or glued to watching YouTube on TV. It’s sad as hell. What do?

1. I follow no one.
Only the For You tab decides what I see, everything stays random and content-focused.
2. I delete every one of my posts after a maximum of 24 hours.
My profile stays empty, posts are only temporarily visible, like a thread that gets bumped down.
3. I block everyone who follows me.
Systematically and immediately, so no followers or parasocial connections can form.
This way, I get anonymity and ephemerality on the objectively best content platform. I consume and post comments without ever building an “identity.” This method does not violate X’s terms of service. Nevertheless, from the platform’s perspective it is harmful: I maximally exploit the algorithm and infrastructure but provide no lasting value or network effects, essentially parasitic.That’s exactly why I do it this way.
X is too good to avoid entirely, but I don’t want to be a classic social media user. With this approach, I get the best of both worlds.
Using X in a post-imageboard era
I loved imageboards for their anonymity and ephemerality: pure focus on content, no identities, no permanent traces. Threads emerge, live briefly, and disappear again.Today, imageboards are dead: almost all users have moved to X. It offers the greatest variety, highest quality, and the best algorithms that filter out the junk. In an endless flood of content, good algorithms are the solution, not the problem.But I don’t want the typical social media downsides (self-presentation, followers, digital footprints). That’s why I use X in a way that simulates a modern, high-quality imageboard experience:1. I follow no one.

Groups of persons against drug prohibition ought to have formal wear such as suits or other types of uniforms to be able to combat the influence from formal authorities.
A crowd of casual clothed, hippie-wannabe, exhibitionist freaks cannot persuade a conservative populace towards siding with them.
For all public appearances I strongly advise from my thorough research in crowd psychology that any drug advocacy public appearances should be done in formal wear, modest uniforms or at the very least the extent to which a person can attend with their best most tidy clothing.
Do not go out looking like a junkie / outcast / freak. It will only harm you when recorded and the broader scene. It is completely counterintuitive to attempt to revive failed countercultural movements or attend with an "IDGAF" attitude.
Drug advocates are already ostracized by the lumpen and reactionary majorities, PR with everyday clothing will not serve to try to "normalize" or "blend in". When a prohibitionist dresses leisurely their opinion is taken in normally, when a drug advocate dresses leisurely they are always going to end up being ridiculed and degraded. It would not be as easy for the opposition to degrade persons or call them "degenerate, jobless, bums, junkies" and such when faced with a crowd of people in uniforms / suits and formal wear.
It is strongly advisory to look like a WASP in order to combat WASPs.
Study the strategies of the opposition. See how conservative content creators in public speeches have for years farmed millions if not billions of views off of the contrast of a "principled man versus gender freak abomination" - Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, TFP Student action etc.
If you don't hold a formal appearance in a public event odds are you will be turned into a lolcow for content farming, guaranteed if you do not behave yourself, speak loudly / obnoxiously, have a meltdown and/or are generally unprepared to speak on the subject of the event. To be able to counter any opposition on a subject of interest a person must learn their opposition by mentally pretending to be a part of it (as the saying goes, put yourself in their shoes) in order to predict all the possible arguments and traps they could lay out and how they could be countered.
I have personally taken the task of studying various religious fanatics and secular conservative vermin for the country in which I reside - those of who will surely arise as opposition if there is potential change to come in the matter of mobilization against drug prohibition.
It is a tedious process of LARPing and imagining oneself as part of it the opposition to understand it but also most importantly - reading and studying all material provided by the opposition.
It is highly encouraged to read and become used to reading texts unfavorable to one's worldview to be able to understand and dismantle them by ruthless criticism.
We are not in a stage where anything meaningful can be done, drug users and producers as well as other persons interested are atomized and not united in functioning groups and networks enough.
The few groups that exist around the world are often controlled opposition that boil down to calling for reforms for decades and only serve in practice as controlled opposition to the WOD and the nations that implemented it. The structure of said groups is broadly unfavorable to combatting drug prohibition (NGOs, Advocacy, MLM schemes, hippie cults and broadly useless liberal reformists), it may be beneficial to only interact with them as to draw in the decent persons involved in the bottom layers of said groups to form entirely separate new ones.
Bring an end to handmade DIY signs, become a proficient person to influence.
Engineer threatening slogans that cannot be parodied.
A stern attitude is the perfect approach to public demonstrations.
The goal of public appearances should not be to try to persuade criminal gangster governments to get on your side, they ought to be to persuade the sympathetic persons and create sympathizers to expand organizations.
All of the criminal gangster governments cannot be persuaded to simply end prohibition in the interest of the public, they are only interested in profit and prohibition serves to be most profitable to their activity.
There is no need to have faith, but there is a great benefit to fanaticism in faith of inevitable victory, what WOD warriors must be reminded by proselytizing is that they will disappear sooner or later, drug prohibition cannot remain forever, every war meets its end, once drug prohibition is over the prohibitionists and their sympathizers will be punished severely beyond their imagination for all their wrongdoings in ways they will not be martyred for or saved by their beliefs, there will be no continuity for their beliefs and their prophecies aligning with the view of a "drug free world" will not come to fruition as long as humanity exists and as long as beings exist.
The end of drug prohibition may or may not come to be in our lifetimes, it is highly unlikely that it will come to be in our lifetimes, but it is highly likely it will come for the majority of the rest of the species' existence. The period of this drug prohibition that continues to be a stain in history as the stunted development of the species is to eventually be wiped clean or forever memorized in its failure.
Even if humanity is to completely annihilate itself without ending drug prohibition, drugs and organisms that interact with them will surely remain, as chemistry and botany forever unfold.
Where matter exists, chemistry exists; where biology includes plants, botany exists.
Drugs will exist as long as matter and existence does.
Towards a union of drug producers, consumers and sympathizers in interest. For a worldwide fraternity towards a greater civilization. Death to the war on drugs.

Drug user liberation advocates ought to hold a formal appearance instead of trying to look like hippies, all these demonstrations make the drug users look retarded in comparison to any uniformed opposition.Groups of persons against drug prohibition ought to have formal wear such as suits or other types of uniforms to be able to combat the influence from formal authorities.

Before some illiterate dumbass takes this as lazy "sectarianism", this was the key issue the Communist International meant to settle. In fact the entire Comintern was born out of the contradiction between the revolutionary content of Marxism and reformist nature of leftism, the murder of German communists at the hands of their left-socialist "comrades" cemented this seemingly forever (clearly not)
>In this connection all those parties that wish to belong to the Communist International must change their names. Every party that wishes to belong to the Communist International must bear the name Communist Party of this or that country (Section of the Communist International). The question of the name is not formal, but a highly political question of great importance. The Communist International has declared war on the whole bourgeois world and on all yellow social-democratic parties. The difference between the communist parties and the old official 'social-democratic' or 'socialist' parties that have betrayed the banner of the working class must be clear to every simple toiler.
<Twenty-one Conditions, Comintern 1919
Going further back to Marx, this distinction was evident (hence the "communist" manifesto)
>in 1847, socialism was a middle-class movement, communism a working-class movement. Socialism was, on the Continent at least, “respectable”; communism was the very opposite. And as our notion, from the very beginning, was that “the emancipation of the workers must be the act of the working class itself,” there could be no doubt as to which of the two names we must take. Moreover, we have, ever since, been far from repudiating it.
<Preface to the 1872 German Edition
>But why were the terms later used exchangeably by the early days of Lenin?
Simply, they were not. By "social democrats" Lenin was strictly referring to the membership of the SPD and its analogous party in Russia who upheld the doctrine of Marx at the time until the German SPD broke away from it.
>But why did Marx and Engels approve of the name SPD in the first place (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands)?
They did not. Both explicitly called the name unscientific and should always be treated as such by the party:
>The dialectician Engels remained true to dialectics to the end of his days. Marx and I, he said, had a splendid, scientifically exact name for the party, but there was no real party, i.e., no mass proletarian party. Now (at the end of the 19th century) there was a real party, but its name was scientifically wrong. Never mind, it would "pass muster", so long as the party developed, so long as the scientific in accuracy of the name was not hidden from it and did not hinder its development on the right direction!
<The State and Revolution, Chapter 4
They were the ones to re-name the League of Just to the Communist League of that wasn't obvious enough.
>acktuly Marx, Engels and Lenin were wrong. Leftist unity (class collaboration) now!!111
Okay. Just don't name yourself after the movement they represented then.
This is more than enough evidence to convince any serious communist that still using terms such as "Leftist" and "Socialist" or to identify with organisations that do, after this split was officially settled for over a century, has nothing to do with communism. This is not even to touch on the popular front slogan which is laughably opportunist.
>At the moment, while the democratic petty bourgeois are everywhere oppressed, they preach to the proletariat general unity and reconciliation; they extend the hand of friendship, and seek to found a great opposition party which will embrace all shades of democratic opinion; that is, they seek to ensnare the workers in a party organization in which general social-democratic phrases prevail while their particular interests are kept hidden behind, and in which, for the sake of preserving the peace, the specific demands of the proletariat may not be presented. Such a unity would be to their advantage alone and to the complete disadvantage of the proletariat. The proletariat would lose all its hard-won independent position and be reduced once more to a mere appendage of official bourgeois democracy. This unity must therefore be resisted in the most decisive manner.

The flag has colors that look too childish and it doesn’t make sense. If you go by the official meaning of the colors, then the flag should actually be a tricolor with white in the middle. I’m sorry, but I couldn't find an apolitical variant With the current flag, it feels like if you want to become enby while being AMAB, you’d first have to become MtF and then enby.
The symbol ⚧️ has no historical context. It’s not even a planetary symbol like Mars ♂ and Venus ♀. I’ve heard that the Mercury symbol ☿ used to represent hermaphrodites/androgynes. I don’t like it either, but it’s clearly closer to us and actually has historical context.

Why do revisionists and infantiles get so hung up on concentric construction? It's a practical way of understanding people's war. The party should not be separated from its organs and the people, it needs to be part of each of them in order to understand them. Letting the army be controlled by non-party members is a bad idea. The PLA needs to be working within the mass orgs and the people as well, in order to formulate strategy. The mass orgs are how the party and organisation diffuse into the people. You need to think of the whole of revolutionary society as a single whole in order to properly understand its contradictions.

Gender is not born in a vacuum; rather, it emerges from the politics of the state, family, and social history. While gender is individual and is related to choices, no one can argue that it can be reduced to a mere wish. While Judith Butler's arguments and philosophy may be reduced, fairly or not, to speech acts or discursivity or performativity, they never invented these philosophical terms. To make a complex history of thought simple, Butler was borrowing from JL Austin, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault. But I think the main issue of Butler's philosophy comes from limiting the scope too much on the reproduction of power in a hierarchy of sexuality. There are reasons why sexuality and gender and biological sex could be misconstrued; most of it, to my mind, has to do with how social reality exists in lieu of capitalist politics and ideology. The absurdity of identity politics is not that a man could transition into a woman, but that social categories are themselves only mediated by discourse and a nebulous power outside of a Marxist analysis of history and society. The way that identity politics functions is to focus solely on individual rights, language-as-power, and Aristotleian categories. But why do the liberals who govern through identity politics think that gender is clearly delineated from biology? In biology, sex is a complicated affair that exists outside of cultural understanding and social roles. It is natural, genetic, and determined; it is how we reproduce and select a sexual partner. Our cultural understanding of how man and woman exist may be informed by the Bible, for instance, but that may not explain how reproduction works or how genes are passed down or how sexual difference exists objectively.
Identity Politics and Biology
Are feminism and transgender liberation ideologies used for indoctrination and social control? Not at all. Is the act of sex, and the cultural weight of sex, distinct from biological function? Quite. Could our understanding of sexuality and gender be embedded in the superstructure of capitalism? Yes, absolutely. But that does not remove the person from the whole, agency from history, or free will from determinism. Instead, we should see the science of biology as part of a long history of philosophy, history, social formations, politics, and the emergence of capitalism as a world system. Generally, what are the problems of understanding sex and gender under our historical epoch? There is a cultural habit of assigning subjective meaning into objective phenomena, which is more to do with how humans relate to ideology, economics, social formations such as class and race and gender, the state structure, the patriarchal family unit, and history. To untangle ourselves from the politicisation of individual bodies, sectioned off like discreet forms of data, as well as ideas about identity, we need to understand how culture and science are not totalizing in themselves but part of the superstructure of society. To avoid the myopia brought about by what people might call scientism, which is really just another word for a supposed omniscience, we need to realise that science is a human endeavour that is still socially mediated. People often flatten or exaggerate a biological fact, a male human is stronger on average than a female human, to inform rigid social hierarchies in fascism or capitalism. Social Darwinism is a distortion of biology and came from a complex history of trying to legitimise oppression, exploitation, racism, colonialism, and sexism in Victorian England and British Imperialism. To do this, the facts and reality of biology are made into a political caricature that reifies the social reality projected by the dominant economic class. In the past, sexuality and gender were rigidly defined and prescribed by the state and the bourgeoisie. Biology was abused for this end. The myth of a self-made man of rugged individualism and cunning was made legitimate by emphasising biological endowments and drives, natural properties and survival strategies. But once you look into biology proper, these socially foisted ideas about masculinity collapse. Genetics inform everything we do as animals, but decisions and strategies are usually probabilistic rather than flatly deterministic. The idea of a masculine patriarch is closer to the divine right of kings than science; a single male leader does not really map onto how we understand dominance hierarchies in the natural world.Gender is not born in a vacuum; rather, it emerges from the politics of the state, family, and social history. While gender is individual and is related to choices, no one can argue that it can be reduced to a mere wish. While Judith Butler's arguments and philosophy may be reduced, fairly or not, to speech acts or discursivity or performativity, they never invented these philosophical terms. To make a complex history of thought simple, Butler was borrowing from JL Austin, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault.

VOICE TRAIN NOW
Nothing is more cringe than a transhumanister who does not make any attempt whatsoever at voice training. Even the most strained falsetto is preferable to douchebags calling themselves shit like "SleepyAshley♥(she/her)", with a pride flag hypersexualized hyperfemme furry avatar, only to begin gabbing in a generic white boy voice.It's just so arrogant, lazy, and even cynical.

Internationalist Voice (Iranian) analysis of the protests (Jan. 4-19):
>Leftists and the Mujahedin claim that monarchists are attempting to influence the protests in favour of “Reza Pahlavi”[7] by adding audio to video clips, or that this role is being played by the Islamic bourgeoisie itself, which is confident in the harmlessness of the monarchist opposition. In other words, they argue that the promotion of monarchist demands within the protests is either meaningless or marginal. This claim is partly correct, but it does not capture the full reality.
>First and foremost, it should be emphasised that the nature of a movement determines the extent to which it can be exploited or redirected. In an independent workers’ movement, this possibility is considerably low; however, in an “all-together” movement, the scope for reactionary forces to intervene is much greater. Within this framework, a serious question arises: can the statement issued by students at Isfahan University, in which it was asserted that “the 1979 revolution was a historical mistake,” be regarded merely as the result of external manipulation and interference?
>For leftists who, through demagoguery, consider students to be “working-class students,” it is as if students necessarily advance the demands of the working class in every protest. In reality, however, students are not inherently revolutionary; at times, they can play a counter-revolutionary role, and at other times, depending on objective conditions and their connection to the class struggle, they can assume a revolutionary role. To clarify this issue, two specific examples can be cited.
>The student protests of July 1999 arose in response to the closure of the reformist[8] newspaper Salam. These protests served the interests of the reformist faction of the Islamic bourgeoisie, and students became instruments in intra-governmental struggles. Nevertheless, the movement exacted a heavy toll, leaving many dead and injured, and profoundly altered the fate of some of the students.
>In contrast, in autumn 2018, following the widespread workers’ protests, students openly expressed solidarity with the workers’ struggles and placed class demands at the centre of their slogans. By chanting slogans such as “We are the children of workers; we stand with them,” they effectively became integrated into a segment of the workers’ class movement and played a role distinct from that of previous periods.
>When the working class emerges as an independent social class in the course of societal developments, the scope for manoeuvre of not only the right- and left-wing tendencies of capital but also ultra-reactionary bourgeois forces and adventurist elements is sharply reduced. This is because the independent presence of the proletariat exposes the real contradictions of capitalism and prevents protests from being redefined and co-opted within bourgeois, pro-democracy, or imperialist frameworks.
>A clear example of this situation can be seen in the workers’ protests of autumn 2018, a period during which media outlets such as the BBC, Voice of America, Radio Israel, and other bourgeois propaganda instruments were effectively sidelined and lost the ability to influence the protests. Under such conditions, bourgeois tendencies—particularly the hypocritical and liberal tendencies of the Western bourgeoisie—were compelled to be silenced, as the language, perspective, and demands of these protests could not serve their class interests.
>The shameful Islamic bourgeoisie has plunged into one of the deepest crises in its disgraceful history, and consolidating itself is not so easy. To demonstrate its power and to pretend it has a social base, the Islamic bourgeoisie issued a call for marches in all cities on 11 January. This call was an overt attempt to stir public sentiment and to draw people into a government-organised demonstration.
>On 11 January 2026, the state broadcaster aired a report from the Kahrizak forensic centre showing scenes of corpses in a large warehouse. The Islamic bourgeoisie claimed that these bodies belonged to individuals who had been harmed by “rioters” during the protests, but the main purpose was to stir public sentiment and garner support for the government. The report displayed photographs of the corpses and the names of the deceased on a screen, while grieving families were mourning and identifying their loved ones. Interestingly, these same images are circulated by Western media as victims of the Islamic bourgeoisie’s crimes. The state broadcaster also aired footage of government-supporting demonstrations, particularly in the cities of Ilam and Hamedan—areas where protests against the regime had been more widespread than elsewhere.
>The war between Iran and Israel is not the result of decisions made by warmongering leaders but it is the expression of the capitalist system today. Regardless of the political façade a state adopts—be it democratic or dictatorial, peace-seeking or openly militaristic—they all share one fundamental trait: sacrificing the working class as cannon fodder in imperialist wars. Without exception, they are all war criminals.

Recent reports from the streets by Worker-Communist Party of Iran (Hekmatist) translated from Farsi (Jan. 7-13)
>The Iranian people do not need a military attack by American bombers, nor do they need international criminals to intensify sanctions and attack their livelihoods for freedom, prosperity, and equality, to be free from the clutches of the Islamic Republic. Lifting sanctions, preventing a military attack on Iran, and cutting off the hands of international criminals from their lives and struggles is the demand of tens of millions of people in Iran and the demand of their freedom-seeking movement.
>After two weeks of protests in Iran and their spread to various cities, the Islamic Republic has taken extensive measures against the protesting people under the pretext and relying on Mossad’s claims of its interference. The Internet shutdown in Iran, the arrival of the army to confront the protesting people and the loss of a large number of protesters and deprived people, threats to government leaders from the Supreme Leader’s Office to the judiciary and widespread arrests, attacks on hospitals and house-to-house raids, and all-out propaganda by the state media and attributing the protests to the people’s rights to Mossad, introducing every protester as a Mossad spy and their agents, have created serious dangers.
>The Islamic Republic has in common with the fascist governments of Israel and America and their pawns in the opposition, pushing back this movement and blinding its radical and freedom-loving horizon. One is by ordering an “uprising” and turning the protests into street fighting and terrorizing it, and the other is by suppressing them under the pretext of Mossad’s interference and confronting it!
>To Communists: come to the streets to prevent the protests from turning into bloodshed and to ensure their progress!
>Marginal forces whose efforts to ride the wave of protests have failed and do not have the social power to divert mass protests have officially today set the policy of bloodletting in the protests to their agenda by launching mercenary and armed gangs against their opponents, declaring an armed uprising, and prematurely bringing weapons to the field in the protests. These forces, along with the apparatus of repression and the internal gangs of the Islamic Republic, are the ones who are responsible for bloodletting in the protests and the lives of the people.
>The Rajavi sect has issued an order for an armed uprising and the capture of military bases. It is as if the "rebel centers" of the Mujahideen are going to "liberate the cities and then hand them over to the local councils"!
>There is no doubt that this heavily armed regime will ultimately be overthrown in an armed uprising. There is no doubt that the people who rise up and protest have the right to use any means and weapons to defend themselves and defeat the enemy. But sending young people to war prematurely is deliberately taking them to the slaughterhouse and mass protests.
>The movement and uprising of the hungry is going its own way and, independent of the small and large insects of reaction, with vigilance and open eyes, it is organizing, uniting and nationwide its protest and struggle, protecting its activists and leaders, and building its own future. Ensuring this is the work of us communists, the work of radical and freedom-loving activists.

Comissar Kirkov (1905-1943) was a devout member of CPSU and brave warrior, often setting up frontline polit-debate meetings to educate and inspire his fellow soldiers. One day, he was answering the question about right of peasants to bear arms and just tried to clarify "counting or not counting kulak violence?" when he was lethally shot by a SS sniper. Never forgive, never forget!

Is the moral argument for revolution in the first world that of internationalism?
There's problems in developed countries too, people locked up in cages, disappearances, massive inequality, including of schooling - even prevalent functional illiteracy, and healthcare. Am I stupid to think that it's not enough?
Or does morality have no place in power politics - that one arrives at revolutionary violence from rational choice overcoming false-consciousness? A hard sell given the material consequences.
Morality of Revolution
The people are hungry, they're denied a basic education, illiterate even, they die of curable diseases, or by their fellow man, technical innovations, and natural resources remain to the benefit of the most developed countries, just as always, even if improvements have been made in some of these matters.Is the moral argument for revolution in the first world that of internationalism?

The Palestine movement failed miserably to stop the genocide because the movement is largely one of SYMBOLIC politics, not one of instrumental politics. It’s not about the Palestinian people but about angry western youth letting off steam. This exact BDS movement has become about self-righteous zoomers showing off how “virtuous” they are by boycotting Starbucks and Coke, never mind that boycotts are supposed to be a militant tactic and weapon to attack an enemy head-on. The campus protests from 2024 were also aimless and did nothing except get a bunch of students and professional activists arrested. Makes sense that NYU banned criticism of Zionism right afterwards.
Let this be known for the next time the world is thrown into a state of crisis.

You can debate whether or not these guys are all Nazis but they all have defended Hitler at some point and either denied, revised, or downplayed the Holocaust. And they are also all at least White-Nationalits.

Von der Leyen wins no-confidence vote in European Parliament
A large majority of members of the European Parliament backed the center-right European Commission president in a confidence motion brought by the far-right Patriots for Europe group. Of the 720 EU lawmakers, 565 showed up to vote. Only 165 backed toppling the Commission, with 390 voting against and 10 abstaining. Von der Leyen was not in Strasbourg for the vote.

Burnham by-election prospect rattles Labour
The crisis erupted after it became known that Andrew Gwynne, MP for Gorton and Denton in Manchester, was preparing to resign, triggering a by-election. Mr Gwynne has been suspended from Labour for a year after offensive WhatsApp messages emerged. It is understood he has reached agreement with Commons authorities to retire on grounds of ill health. Downing Street will likely mobilise to block any candidacy by Mr Burnham, who has made little secret of his ambitions and has kept up a running commentary on the government’s shortcomings in recent months.

Trump seeking ‘regime change’ in Cuba by end of the year: US media report
A US official told the newspaper that meetings have been held with Cuban exiles and civic groups in Miami and Washington, DC, in a bid to identify a government official in Cuba who might “want to cut a deal”. Trump has also directly threatened Cuba, writing on his Truth Social platform earlier this month: “I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.”

Venezuela moves to open up oil sector to private investors as demanded by Trump
Less than three weeks after the US seized President Nicolas Maduro in an armed raid, MPs endorsed on first reading a bill allowing private companies to independently engage in oil exploration and extraction. If adopted on a second reading, the bill would roll back decades of state controls over Venezuela's oil sector, which were tightened by Maduro's late mentor, socialist firebrand Hugo Chavez, in the mid-2000s.

Two popular Tunisian journalists handed three-year jail terms
Bssaies and Zghidi were first jailed in May 2024 on charges of “spreading false news” under Tunisia’s controversial Decree Law 54 against cybercrime. Press rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said the journalists’ “only ‘crime’ was to comment on and criticise political decisions” by Saied. Before serving their eight-month sentence, Tunisia’s judiciary brought additional tax-related charges, which the journalists’ defence says are based on routine tax matters.

Left parties in India insist government should not join Trump’s Gaza “Board of Peace”
Left parties in India called upon the central government not to join the so-called Board of Peace launched by the US as part of President Donald Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza, claiming it would be a betrayal to Palestinians and antithetical to the country’s long-term commitments to the UN. “India’s participation in such a Board, which does not respect Palestinian rights, would constitute a grave betrayal of the Palestinian cause,” the country’s five major left parties claimed in a joint statement issued on Wednesday, January 21.

Assassin of Japan's former PM Abe sentenced to life in prison
Prosecutors sought a life sentence, calling the shooting an "extremely grave incident that is unprecedented in post-war history". The defence argued for a lesser sentence of no more than 20 years, citing family issues linked to the Unification Church which motivated the shooting. Yamagami's defence team said after the trial that they plan to consult with the defendant to decide whether to appeal to a higher court.

Addressing the end of various leftist holdout conflicts and their aftermath
The 2010s marked the effective end of most remaining communist insurgencies. Although many had been in decline for years, it was during that decade that they finally collapsed. The Naxal movement, communist insurgencies in Africa and Southeast Asia, and the last remnants of the IRA either fizzled out or ended with arrests after failed attacks and raids. In 2023, the Zapatistas dissolved their Autonomous Municipalities. The conflicts that leftist magazines and academics once wrote papers about and sometimes even traveled to for the occasional photoshoot are now over, so what is to done?

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

There is ultimately a middle ground to be found between their positions.
And it is at least in my opinion, it's the positions between both groups that makes the most sense and most closely resemble the intent behind Marx's original aims.
I am a bit of a theorylet so maybe I am missing some crucial ideological perspective that already achieved this, but if not I suppose I am in a sense proposing that stance here.
What do I even mean? Take for example;
Ultras:
>We must abolish the commodity form and money on day 1 of the revolution or you're a state capitalist moderniser falsifier and a betrayer of the revolution
MLs:
>It's fine to have 100 years of market economy, stock exchanges, billionaires etc whilst only making vague promises of transitioning from production for exchange value to production for use value in some distant ever further away future
Ultras:
>You must never ever support national liberation even when the movement is clearly progressive and socialist in character and it's successes will weaken imperialism and capitalism
MLs:
>You must uncritically support almost every single group that opposes the first world and call it AES no matter how anti-communist and nationalistic it is because muh multipolarity
All of the above positions are of course a little exaggerated but typify the types of arguement put forth by both sides.
Instead why can't we use the DIALECTICAL METHOD, end the Marxist infighting, and synthesise a new theory that will allow both sides to work together?
Why not develop a framework where we all agree there will be a steady but brief economic transition period lasting a few years, a decade at most, between production for exchange value Vs use value?
Why not agree to support national liberation struggles as originally explained by Engels himself - when they are progressive, socialist, weaken empire and capitalism while also rejecting support for bourgeois, liberal national, reactionary movements?
Is that not clearly what Marx and Engels both recommended, which was later revised one way or another by later thinkers?
Call me a clown but I really think if people stop caring about their attaching their ego to certain brands of ideological thought we could work together and create the ideological and theoretical breeding ground for a third way.

Fine. I'll address it. What can we do to stop the incessant infighting between MLs and Ultras?There is ultimately a middle ground to be found between their positions.

Made a new thread since the other one is full. You know the drill folks, gather here to discuss and/or complain about Hearts of Iron 4 and all the alt history mods that make the game relevant. From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…

Has anyone here ever played the British anti-extremism game?
I have and I sucks. If you didn't know the British government in response to all of the white nationalism growing in their country mad a computer game to encourage kids not to be Nazis, ill link it here https://www.shoutoutuk.org/pathways/ but the thing is that it backfired and Chuds started making rule 34 of the female antagonist, since it became a meme I wanted to play the game to see if it is any good and its not. Since its a liberal game instead of being able to confront your Nazi friends and make new leftist friends if they part ways with you you just fucking loose all of your friends! I don't know what I expected, this is the UK after all and its been amerikkka's cuck for decades.

Colombian Energy Minister Edwin Palma blasted the tariffs as "economic aggression" in a social media post, saying he had ordered the dismantling of a recent initiative to allow private firms to take part in energy sales between both countries to limit potential scarcity. "Colombia has acted with facts, cooperation, and solidarity," he said, noting Colombia provides 8% to 10% of Ecuador's power consumption. "That is why dialogue between nations is essential, not unilateral measures that only harm our peoples," he added.

Venezuelan Banks Receive 300M from US-Administered Crude Sales, Gov’t Officials Defend Oil Reform
According to Ecoanalítica, Banesco, BBVA Provincial, Banco Mercantil, and Banco Nacional de Crédito offered a combined $150 million to customers on Tuesday via foreign exchange auctions, with the rest of the funds expected to be made available by the end of the week. Unofficial reports suggested that private sector importers in the food and healthcare sectors would be given priority. Analyst Alejandro Grisanti stated that the dollars were purchased slightly below 400 bolívars (BsD) per USD. Unlike in prior exchange tables, the banks were not obliged to use the official exchange rate set by the Central Bank, which stands currently at 347 BsD per USD.

Chile’s president-elect names staunch abortion opponent as gender equality minister
She is an evangelical former student church group president who belonged to the Eagles of Jesus, a far-right Christian group which recruits at universities around the country. Marín has publicly questioned the future of the ministry she will now lead, and defended the “natural family” – the idea that a man and woman head a household – as a central tenet of society.

Israel's imports of Azerbaijani oil via Turkey jump despite Ankara's trade ban
Turkey does not control where Azerbaijani oil pumped through the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline is sold, but said in November 2024 that exporters using Ceyhan "respected its decision to end trade with Israel" and oil was not being loaded with Israel as the destination. However, Kpler data shows that Israel's imports of Azerbaijani crude from Ceyhan jumped 31 percent year on year to 94,000 barrels per day in 2025 - the highest since 2022 and widening a its lead over Russia, Israel's second-largest supplier.

UAE flights linked to Sudan war tracked from Israel to Ethiopia
While the purpose and any connection between the flights is unclear, they have taken place against the backdrop of a spiralling power struggle between the UAE and Saudi Arabia across Yemen and the Horn of Africa that has upturned the geopolitics of the region and prompted concerns of a new escalation in the Sudan war.

Trump cancels tariff threat over Greenland, says NATO agreed to ‘framework’ of future Arctic deal
The abrupt about-face emerged hours after Trump had insisted that he wants to “get Greenland, including right, title and ownership,” but said he would not use force to do so while deriding European allies and vowing that NATO should not try to block U.S. expansionism. In an extraordinary speech at the World Economic Forum, the president said he was asking for territory that was “cold and poorly located.” He said the U.S. had effectively saved Europe during World War II and even declared of NATO: “It’s a very small ask compared to what we have given them for many, many decades.”

‘Treated like shirkers’: German unions cry foul over Merz’s sick-note crackdown
At a regional campaign event last weekend, Merz said staff took an average 14.5 sick days per year – “too high”, he said. “That’s nearly three weeks in which people in Germany don’t work due to illness,” he said. “Is that really correct? Is that really necessary?” He later said that if the one or two days of recovery time not requiring a doctor’s note were taken into account the figure would be even larger.

Sri Lanka’s new “anti-terror laws” foreshadow sweeping attacks on democratic rights
The name of the law—Protection of the State from Terrorism—is makes clear that it is aimed at protecting the capitalist state. The PSTA defines terrorism in broad and vague terms that can be easily interpreted and used to suppress the fundamental democratic rights of the masses. Section 3 of the draft bill defines terrorist acts as those that “provoke a state of terror,” “intimidate the public or any section of the public,” or “compel the Government of Sri Lanka, any other government, or an international organisation to do or abstain from doing any act.”

Manipur: Gang-Rape Survivor Dies Sans Justice for 3 Years
Nearly three years after she survived a brutal gang rape amid Manipur’s ethnic violence, a young Kuki-Zo woman has died from prolonged medical complications and psychological trauma—without seeing justice. Her death has reignited national outrage over the handling of sexual violence during the Manipur conflict and intensified demands by Kuki organisations for accountability and a separate administrative arrangement for the Kuki-Zo community.

India is profiling Kashmir mosques, raising new surveillance fears
One page of the form collects information about the mosque itself, seeking information about the “ideological sect” it belongs to, the year it was founded, its sources of funding, monthly expenditure, the number of people it can congregate, and details on ownership of the land on which the structure stands. The remaining three pages collect personal details of the people – imams, muezzins, khatibs and others – associated with the mosque, including their mobile numbers, emails, passport, credit card and bank account details. The more insidious columns in the form ask the respondents to declare if they have relatives abroad, the “outfit” they are associated with, or even the model of their mobile phone and their social media handles.

However, he tries to come back to Marx through his book "critique of the dialectic".
Anybody QRD ? I'm interested in learning more about him. I've only read "Is existentialism a humanism ?" and mainly viewed it as midwit philosophy that reduces everything to human agency. Am I missing something ?
What are your thoughts on existentialism ?
As I understand, Sartre is in opposition to Marx when it comes to how he views the individual. For him, the individual is condemned to be free, which contradicts the marxist historicism and dialectical movement.However, he tries to come back to Marx through his book "critique of the dialectic".

I'm so far into rejecting reformism I'm starting to think the only solution to the capitalist/imperialist world order is not only forcbile overthrow but the complete decimation of it; A disaster so thorough most of humanity will be concerned with immediate survival and as almost everyone will be reduced to laborers and technicians we will have to apply more libertarian communist systems because of their interest and current knowledge/experience of politics + since porkies will hardly have anything to own or to give as to enforce his property; That society won't afford to deal with deprivation at such a stage and no foreign superpowers to help them. The same thing could happen to many other regressive tendencies that won't have their powerful insitutions to perpetuate them any longer and will quickly be abandoned becasue the state of society then will find them detrimental like the church, sexism, etc.
I'm starting to think this is the only real solution because every even mildly successful socialist project gets villanized and destroyed by porkies (regional or foreign) and will hardly implement desired reforms because then priority will be self-perseverance, The disappearance of the US and it's capitalist imperialist allies is near impossible and that even if they transistioned to socialism, Neoliberalism have ruined social relations to such a degree and capitalist mentalities are so deeply ingrained that they will be endlessly sabotaged internally or that people won't commit to it seriously and it will be ruined.
I swear I'm a karmic-positive individual but I despise the capitalist order so much I can't even think of such a catastrophe in a bad way anymore….And even kinda anticipate it in my lifetime, But I still recognize how many people will suffer to endure it.
Do you have similar thought? What do you think?
I can't stop envisiong our oppurtunity as a global catastrophe. Was Posadas right?
Comrades, I can't stop thinking about the amazing political oppurtinity of a devastating global catastrophe…..What now? Was Posadas right all along?I'm so far into rejecting reformism I'm starting to think the only solution to the capitalist/imperialist world order is not only forcbile overthrow but the complete decimation of it; A disaster so thorough most of humanity will be concerned with immediate survival and as almost everyone will be reduced to laborers and technicians we will have to apply more libertarian communist systems because of their interest and current knowledge/experience of politics + since porkies will hardly have anything to own or to give as to enforce his property; That society won't afford to deal with deprivation at such a stage and no foreign superpowers to help them.

I'm starting to think this is the only real solution because every even mildly successful socialist project gets villanized and destroyed by porkies (regional or foreign) and will hardly implement desired reforms because then priority will be self-perseverance, The disappearance of the US and it's capitalist imperialist allies is near impossible and that even if they transistioned to socialism, Neoliberalism have ruined social relations to such a degree and capitalist mentalities are so deeply ingrained that they will be endlessly sabotaged internally or that people won't commit to it seriously and it will be ruined.
I swear I'm a karmic-positive individual but I despise the capitalist order so much I can't even think of such a catastrophe in a bad way anymore….And even kinda anticipate it in my lifetime, But I still recognize how many people will suffer to endure it.
Do you have similar thought? What do you think?

Why is Europe so servile?
I as an American always understood that the reason was that in exchange for being social democracies they can basically just be giant banks for the US to store its plunder that it gets for fucking over the 3rd world. But recently Trump has been trying to take Greenland and give up Ukraine and basically Vassalize the rest of Europe, and I have no idea why the leaders are still okay with this and why they wont do anything other than say "Pwease no tag Gweenland 👉👈 🥺" like Trump wont do that domestically when Tim Walz asks him not to deploy ICE, so its not a far stretch that he wont invade Greenland. Why are these European leaders so cucked? Even Belarus which brags about not being sucked to America is cucked to Russia at the end of the day.

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.
This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.
