<South America edition
The American question is: how does a settler-imperialist nation transform itself into a decolonized socialist commonwealth without either reproducing the imperial form or fragmenting into balkanized enclaves that allow capital to reconstitute, while resolving the contradictions of internal colonization and liberating its external colonies, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

Gender dysphoria doesn't always have to mean that you want to be another gender. It could even include that you're suffering because you're not fulfilling your ideal of your self-identified gender and in that case, it resolves with age because ideals change.
Weininger → Evola → Mishima
Both Weininger and Mishima died to suicide and Weininger studied and released a book on gender before he died at a young age. Mishima lived for decades in love with the idea of his own death and prepared for it. He wasn't stereotypically straight and was fully aware of Magnus Hirschfeld's work on LGBTQ+ as a Japanese writer.
If both Weininger and Mishima had personal troubles with gender, did Evola too have trouble with gender?

Mishima & Evola's writings
I think that this is the only community that is the best qualified at resolving this mystery. Does everyone who's interested in Evola's magic, suffer from gender dysphoria?Gender dysphoria doesn't always have to mean that you want to be another gender.

Joseph Stalin is the most reviled opponent of the liberal bourgeoisie. No one causes more lib seethe than Stalin. The man was also firmly socially conservative and anti-cosmopolitan. And most importantly, he won the fucking war and died on old man at the height of his power, and the Soviet empire he built survived for decades afterwards.
So why is the online right still in love with a miserable loser like Hitler? Why are chinlet shooters and insecure browns still chanting "Hitler was right" instead of embracing the chad superiority of Stalin? Are they just stupid?

So my question is: how did we get here?
What factors made it so no one cares about each other anymore, and we’ve largely decided to judge others based on their “usefulness” to us and see them as a means to an end rather than as an end unto themselves. Why did we stop seeing every person as having innate human dignity and worth?
For example, let’s say you have $40 left in your bank account, but AuDHD Aurora needs money for DoorDash because she’s low on spoons and can’t cook; would you give Aurora your last $40 or would you let her go to bed starving? Most people would choose the latter simply because there’s nothing in modern society that reinforces the idea that we need to provide for neurodivergent folks even if it means making a sacrifice. Or the fact covid was allowed to kill millions of vulnerable people simply because no one wanted to stay in lockdown. We prioritize comfort over other human life because we have no normalized moral theory of Justice that makes us want to protect the weak.
You also see this with the notion of “the village” that’s become a popular trope among Gen Z. Everyone laments the fact “the village” no longer exists in modern society, and having a “village” is the only way to protect the weak and vulnerable from social murder, i.e. the whole community takes care of disabled and neurodivergent folks. So why doesn’t “the village” exist anymore and why have all attempts at creating “villages” been unsustainable? What causes a community to stick together and feel a strong sense of obligation to each other?
Empathy needs to be the main focal point of any leftist politics in the near future. That and forming a trauma-informed political program so we can heal from our collective CPTSD.
Lack of Empathy
We often times hear that the biggest problem in Western society today is lack of empathy. Trump, Epstein, covid (eugenics) and the Gaza genocide are all pinpointed as examples of how lack of empathy leads to great atrocities. The most vulnerable and oppressed along is are seen as disposable and people don’t even care about each other anymore.So my question is: how did we get here?

/Debate Addict General/
- Punching your monitor only hurts you, it does not hurt the person who made the post.
- People often don't think, they just feel. Asking them to define terms and defend positions forces them to think and causes them to realize things about themselves they did not previously realize.
- Practice without theory is flailing. Theory without debate is solipsism. Debate without reflection upon practice is masturbation. We should practice, then debate whether that practice was useful, then reflect upon that debate to establish a superior theory that will lead to better practice.
- Debate does not cause splits, it reveals splits that were previously hidden under the flowery language of a false unity, and allows something to be done about them.
- People who are unable to defend their ideas don't even know why they hold them in the first place.
- People who are unable to define the terms they use don't even know what they mean.

Are any of you NOT former chuds?
Personally I grew up as a republican and then slowly became more left leaning over time but I was never a neo-nazi or anything like that. It feels like on this site there's an odd amount of sympathy towards /pol/tards that I just don't understand. Maybe it's because a lot of you see your past selves in them but I have absolutely nothing in common with them. Never in my life have I ever been genuinely racist or anything like that. There's been multiple times on this site I've had people get mad at me for hating on rightoids it's just wild to me. I feel like we need more guys like me around who genuinely hate these people lol>pic unrelated

<During the 1870s, a major polemical debate unfolded in Germany’s worker/democratic press on the shortage of housing available to workers in major industrial centres. The influx and increase of the proletariat created a housing crisis. On June 26 1872, Engels contributed the first of a series of articles to the Volksstaat, entitled “The Housing Question.” The last appeared on February 22 1873. Engels’ central point was that the revolutionary class policy of the proletariat cannot be replaced by a policy of reforms, because "it is not that the solution of the housing question simultaneously solves the social question, but that only by the solution of the social question, that is, by the abolition of the capitalist mode of production, is the solution of the housing question made possible." The series criticizes Proudhonism (and petty-bourgeois socialism in general, including Lassalleanism). It also discusses things like the nature of the State, the dictatorship of the proletariat, the eradication of the antithesis between town and country, the solution of the agrarian problem, forms of the socialist reconstruction of society and the tasks of the proletarian party.
Engels argued against other socialists like Proudhon and Emil Sax who argued that widespread working class home ownership was the solution to the housing crisis. Engels actually classified Sax's scheme as "bourgeois socialism" because it aimed state intervention at ameliorating class consciousness without altering overall class relations that much, by "bourgeois-fying" the proletariat through home ownership.
Engels denies that workers even want land and also thinks that if workers owned houses the bourgeoisie will just lower their wages by the amount of the rent they no longer have to pay.
In his haste to prove these non revolutionary class reconciliation schemes can't work and only socialist revolution can actually resolve the contradictions of housing under capitalism. Perhaps that it true in the long run, but that may be centuries. Engels concedes, essentially, that working class homeowners, while not capitalist, are also non proletarian:
>Capital is the command over the unpaid labor of others. The house of the worker can only become capital therefore if he rents it to a third person and appropriates a part of the labor product of this third person in the form of rent. By the fact that the worker lives in it himself the house is prevented from becoming capital, just as a coat ceases to be capital the moment I buy it from the tailor and put it on. The worker who owns a little house to the value of a thousand talers is certainly no longer a proletarian, but one must be Dr. Sax to call him a capitalist.
Engels, with all due respect, was wrong. Yes, it is true that workers who own their homes are not capitalists (unless they become landlords), but it is equally telling that Engels does not address the fact that workers can and frequently do sell their houses at an enormous markup from the price at which they bought them. It is this mechanism that allows them to realize the surplus value expropriated in exchange through ground rent. While the house itself may be a normal commodity, the land underneath it, is not.
Engel’s example of a coat does not apply to land or a house of land (“a coat ceases to be capital the moment I buy it from the tailor and put it on”). Yes, that is because a coat does not typically appreciate in value and get resold. A coat has no future income stream while a plot of land does (expected cash flow from ground-rent). While land produces no value it does enter a circuit of capital, specifically fictitious capital, the term Marx uses for things like stocks, bonds, and land titles. Fictitious capital creates no new value at all in the transaction itself; the gain is a redistribution of already-existing social surplus value toward whoever holds the title when the capitalized rent happens to rise, funneled through rising expected future rents. That's precisely why aggregate "housing wealth" is close to zero-sum across society even though it feels like wealth creation to any individual seller: your gain is the next buyer's higher future cost of access, not a net addition to social product.
Engels doesn't name this class but I think it is most accurate to call it petit-rentier, or possibly something akin to a new gentry class. Essentially homeownership allows this class, either upon realizing the home price gains by selling the house or even through something like a home equity line of credit, to appropriate part of the total surplus value of society through this mechanism described above.
This is why home ownership is known to have an economic conservatizing effect, turning homeowners into single issue voters based on preserving the price of their home and/or increasing it. This is the origin of the stereotypical suburban NIMBY.
If this is true, the majority of citizens of western, especially English speaking nations are not proletarian, but not for the reason third worldists think.
In the US for example depending on how one defines it, somewhere between 52% and 65% of the population consists of homeowners (the latter number counts people who are members of homeowning household, even if not the homeowner themselves), which means even in the conservative case half the population has a reason to be reactionary which is hardly the basis for a mass movement, and in the worst case, around 2/3rds of the population isn't even proletarian.
Let's talk about "bourgeois socialism":
<The Marxist view is such that the bourgeois socialist is the sustainer of the state of bourgeois class relations. In The Principles of Communism, Friedrich Engels describes them as "so-called socialists" who only seek to remove the evils inherent in capitalist society while maintaining the existing society often relying on methods, such as welfare systems and grandiose claims of social reform. Opinions vary as to whether if bourgeois socialist is actively protecting or intentionally excusing the current order, but the common thread is that they are in objective fact preserving it. Rather than abolishing social class divisions, they wish to simply raise everyone up to be a member of the bourgeoisie to allow everyone the ability to endlessly accumulate capital without a working class.
I've reached a conclusion that is as disturbing to orthodox Marxists as it is to right wingers; which is that the United States is ALREADY SOCIALIST. That is to say by Engelsian standards it has been successfully practicing a form of bourgeois socialism at least since the new deal if not even sooner, and in fact the United States and other countries went far, far further in terms of state intervention than men like Emil Sax ever envisioned.
>Sax's proposal, in its own terms: private savings-and-loan-style building societies letting individual workers purchase homes through installment/deferred payment, financed by workers' own accumulated savings and modest capital, not government funds. Its stated political purpose, per Sax's own words that Engels quoted specifically to expose it, was to bind workers to the soil and defuse the dangerous confusion of ideas and proletarian bitterness threatening the social order. Privately financed, operating on existing urban land within existing city limits.
The new deal era US took something very similar and backed it with state power by creating a federal housing administration that backed loans made by private banks, and also heavily subsidized highway (and other) infrastructure to make these far flung suburbs made of detached single family homes accessible by automobile.
The 19th century homesteader fufilling Jeffreson's ideal of the yeoman farmer was only possible after the land was cleared of the natives by the military and gifted by the federal government 40 acres at a time. But the myth of the individualist settler winning the west persisted because that intervention was largely invisible and it appeared that success or failure was up to the individual settler or family's ability to farm a small plot of land.
Similarly there is a genius of the federal subsidization of suburbia, without which large swathes of the population would never be able to live in large detached single family homes as the level of property tax to support transportation, etc. infrastructure to support this would be unimaginably high. To be self sustaining without federal support, property taxes would likely have to raise 30-40% even just to maintain current suburbs let alone build greenfield ones, and other estimates are far, far, far higher.
But to the individual mcmansion owner it appears that their quality of life is entirely their own doing or due to simple market forces causing their houses to appreciate in value. The state driven origins of their prosperity are laundered, unlike social welfare which is clearly perceived as direct transfer payments. What market oriented YIMBYs get wrong is not that this is a form of state intervention into capitalism that is "inefficient" by neoliberal standards, but that without this, towns and cities without 1920s levels of density would either have to densify or fail financially. That would be equivalent to reproletarianizing the petit rentier class, which would essentially be the end of american bourgeois socialism and stripping asset ownership from masses of the working class population would also destroy the lack of class conflict the US has "enjoyed" since the end of the 1940s.

I know that's what they want. They want us to hate humanity so they can justify branding us as terrorists. They want to push us into a corner where the whole world is against us, and our only choice is to fight back, so they can use that retaliation to manufacture consent for our eradication. It's the exact same playbook they've been using against the people of Palestine.
But even as horrible as things are for them, at least they have people fighting for them. The powerful stomp them into dust, but there's a dim light at the end of their tunnel of thorns. Journalists risk their lives to spread awareness, citizens risk arrest for speaking out. They have real allies in this fight, a frayed thread to cling to. We have no flickering light of hope, we have only ourselves.
People might feign support in passing, but anything more than empty platitudes is asking too much. Nobody wants to make even minor sacrifices for us. Nobody wants to spread empathy or awareness for us. Everyone is all too happy to let us sink to second-class citizens. Everyone is all to happy to publicly dehumanize us without so much as flinching. Nobody knows we're 10 times more likely to be murdered. Nobody knows there's state-mandated conversion therapy and human experiments. Nobody even knows what V-coding is. When they start marching us into the ovens, will anyone even know? Will anyone even care?
How can I cope? How can I not become jaded? I don't want to hate the human race, but anything less feels like letting myself be in an abusive relationship. I'm so tired.
How do I stop from hating humanity?
I'm so tired of it all. Everyone believing the lies. Everyone legislating our torture. Everyone celebrating our oppression. Everyone pretending they're justified. All the money, all the technology, all the grifting, all just to hurt me and the handful of my kind. I just want to give up and cry.I know that's what they want.

I've seen this a lot recently, with the new MJ biopic out as well as all the new allegations of abuse from the Cascio family and also a new Leaving Neverland documentary. In spite of the left staunchly holding on to #metoo and the fact abuse survivors/victims need to be believed and supported, the same isn't true with the multiple people who have accused MJ of CSA and grooming. The Epstein case has made discussions of pedophilia, CSA, and power imbalances in relationships mainstream. People are even going so far as to debate whether or not the Age of Consent should be raised to 21 in order to shield 18-year olds from predatory 30-year olds. Yet, if you bring up the fact MJ engaged in such things, you're denounced as a right-winger or reactionary (or even a racist).
Perhaps the most bizarre claims I've heard is that MJ was pro-Palestine and (allegedly) wrote a song about Palestine, Israel knew this so Mossad planted the CSA allegations against him in order to ruin him before the song could be recorded. There's no evidence of this, and MJ actually travelled to Israel and met with the IOF about a month after the Chandlers made the allegations known. I've also heard the conspiracy that MJ was protecting kids from the "real predators" in Hollywood and was saving kids from being trafficked to Epstein Island. That claim is easily debunked once you realize Epstein didn't buy his infamous island until 1998, and MJ was already taking in kids long before that.
And let's be honest: even if MJ did nothing criminal with the boys he surrounded himself with, his behaviours with them was still NOT appropriate. A grown man in his 30s and 40s should never, ever be having sleepovers with 8,9, and 10-year olds, much less sharing a bed with them. Plus, all of the stories his accusers tell fit perfectly with the model of grooming: MJ would dazzle the parents of these kids and buy them lots of expensive items, the parents would let their guards down and allow him to do what he pleased with their children, then MJ would have almost romantic-like relations with these kids. In no possible world would that ever be acceptable for a grown man to do.
So what gives? Why do so many comrades still defend MJ so viciously?

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

Under the latest wave of new laws, police will be able to forcibly seize and access mobile phones to download all their data and open encrypted messages, even previously deleted material going back for years. NSW police will be able to compel access to citizens’ phones during arrests, roadside stops and other detentions. Full details are yet to be tabled. NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said the measures, combined with new digital forensic capabilities, would “give police the ability to crack encrypted devices and uncover evidence.”

South Koreans protest over possible plan to send forces to back US in Hormuz
Seoul said on Friday it was considering "contributions" to US security efforts along the strait, and on Tuesday sent what it called a fact-finding mission to the crucial waterway. Iran has already warned that any South Korean deployment would be "regarded as direct support for the party responsible for that aggression and will have serious consequences". Demonstrators gathered outside the US embassy in Seoul on Wednesday with placards urging the government not to join the "war of aggression" against Iran.

Kenya’s nurses end six-week strike after signing deal with government
Seth Panyako, secretary-general of the nurses’ union, said his members would return to hospitals within 24 hours.

That agreement remains unimplemented due to what the government has termed budgetary constraints.

Albanian protests against Kushner-linked coastal development turn violent after 100th day
The march was staged as parliament resumed from a summer recess and after the demonstrations marked their 100th day on Monday. They challenged a police cordon in the center of the capital, Tirana, pelting officers in riot gear with eggs and tomatoes. Cars transporting lawmakers to the parliament building were confronted by the crowds and were hit with plastic water bottles before police intervened to let them through.

Reform insists National Rally agreed migrant policy after backlash in France
The agreement unveiled on Friday between Nigel Farage and Bardella, who is the 30-year-old protege of presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, appeared to directly contradict Le Pen’s long-held policy of refusing to accept the return of those who arrive in the UK in small boats from France. Le Pen was pressed for her position by journalists from France TV, the state broadcaster, on Monday. Le Pen declined to comment, saying she would talk about the issue soon, but at a time of her choosing.

United States Warns Uruguay to Cease Presence of the Cuban Medical Brigade
According to Uruguayan journalist Gabriel Pereyra, the warning includes the possibility of adding Uruguay to an international blacklist, with consequences for U.S. military cooperation and technical assistance. Foreign Minister Mario Lubetkin denied receiving any specific official communication, although he acknowledged that the issue is under bilateral discussion. However, he emphasized that the experience with the Cuban doctors has been “extraordinary.”

Survey: 58% of Argentines say economic situation is worsening
The findings come as Milei's government continues to defend its programme of austerity and spending cuts, arguing that fiscal discipline is necessary to stabilise an economy long plagued by high inflation and chronic deficits. But almost half of those surveyed took a sharply negative view of the government's economic strategy. Some 47.8 percent described the programme as "mistaken", saying it was causing "meaningless suffering" for Argentines.

Australian state Labor government announces more police-state lawsUnder the latest wave of new laws, police will be able to forcibly seize and access mobile phones to download all their data and open encrypted messages, even previously deleted material going back for years. NSW police will be able to compel access to citizens’ phones during arrests, roadside stops and other detentions. Full details are yet to be tabled. NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said the measures, combined with new digital forensic capabilities, would “give police the ability to crack encrypted devices and uncover evidence.”

Japanese yen turbulence continues to threaten global financial markets
The issue of the yen’s value started to come into greater international prominence earlier this year as it continued to fall against the dollar. This was despite threats from the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama that they would intervene against short sellers—those who seek to profit from a further decline—and boost its value.

South Koreans protest over possible plan to send forces to back US in Hormuz
Seoul said on Friday it was considering "contributions" to US security efforts along the strait, and on Tuesday sent what it called a fact-finding mission to the crucial waterway. Iran has already warned that any South Korean deployment would be "regarded as direct support for the party responsible for that aggression and will have serious consequences". Demonstrators gathered outside the US embassy in Seoul on Wednesday with placards urging the government not to join the "war of aggression" against Iran.

So what exactly is bad about this generally speaking? Especially on a neoliberal Earth where the international elite, outside of china, can flee and go anywhere and has no accountability? The strategy of dengist economics has produced the same results that people like Mao and Stalin wanted out of their countries like mass industrialization, electrification, and prosperity but at the same time holding their own societal elites accountable.
So what are the flaws of dengist economics?
So say a Marxist-Leninist economy has all of the stuff important to the state nationalized and operating under scientific planning, it tries to give the basic needs of life like employment and housing to everyone as possible, but there's additionally a private sector for commodity circulation because trying to micromanage every small business to the smallest detail is silly in general. The private sector is heavily regulated to prevent them from subverting the rest of society, and also taxed to help pay for the rest of society.So what exactly is bad about this generally speaking?

There's nothing, just a theory. In theory, you could identify (your) neurobiological markers associated with transgenderism and try to correct them with TMS or something similar.
Alternative treatments for gender dysphoria
Are there any methods other than HRT? I still don't fit into either the male or female category (my thread is a couple of threads down). And being trans these days is suicide; I don't think it's worth it.So, back to the topic.

What do we do about anti-intellectualism?
It's completely impossible to have any sort of meaningful conversation about anything that matters anymore because nobody will engage with the facts. Conservatives who've never put any thought into a topic in their life will say "well my initial assumption is obviously common sense" and the general public will treat this as an equally (if not more) valid argument than citing years of history and peer-reviewed research done by people who've dedicated their lives to understanding the world. There's no way for the left to convince anyone of anything if reality itself is shunned as political bias. It's so infuriating that it's pushing me towards a radically misanthropic mindset. How do we pull the masses out from this gaping abyss?

I remember when he had a whole cult around him in the early 2010s during Occupy and was a huge cheerleader for the Rojava revolution in the years that followed. His book Debt The First 5000 Years was a huge hit (and I mean HUGE, in the sense that you'd see it sold in both anarchist infoshops and mainstream booksellers like Barnes). He was instrumental in rewriting the historical narrative of class formation and the development of money and economic systems. A lot of Marxists didn't like that but they had zero means of debunking his work. When he died in 2020 there was an outpouring of love from leftists all over the world, for an anarchist intellectual who meant so much to people.
But now, I never see Graeber mentioned, ever. The only times I see him or his work brought up is to heavily chastise it, or attack him for his anarchist politics. Tankies hate him but can never prove him wrong. I have to ask why he's become nothing but a footnote in the history of leftist thought, especially when he was so celebrated 15 years ago.

15th century monk
>He was known for his crazy methods of enlightening other beings, mostly women, which earned him the title "The Saint of 5,000 Women". Among other things, women would seek his blessing in the form of sexual intercourse.
>He is credited with introducing the practice of phallus paintings in Bhutan and placing statues of them on rooftops to drive away evil spirits. He is also known for Chimi Lhakhang, the temple of fertility.
20th century monk
>He drank, smoked, slept with students, and often kept students waiting for hours before giving teachings.
>Some of his own methods and actions, particularly his heavy drinking, sexual predation, and his ordering of the sexual assault (forced stripping) of a student and his girlfriend, caused controversy during his lifetime and afterward.
>Trungpa often combined drinking with teaching. In some instances Trungpa was too drunk to walk and had to be carried. Also, according to his student John Steinbeck IV and his wife, on a couple of occasions Trungpa's speech was unintelligible. One woman reported serving him "big glasses of gin first thing in the morning."
>The Steinbecks wrote The Other Side of Eden, a sharply critical memoir of their lives with Trungpa in which they claim that, in addition to alcohol, he spent $40,000 a year on cocaine, and used Seconal to come down from the cocaine. The Steinbecks said the cocaine use was kept secret from the wider Vajradhatu community.
>19th century monk
>Other behavior was troubling as well. As one scholar who has studied the community noted, Tendzin was "bisexual and known to be very promiscuous" and "enjoyed seducing straight men" but the community "did not find [this behavior] particularly troublesome." Not all his partners were unwilling; one scholar noted "it became a mark of prestige for a man, gay or straight, to have sex with the Regent, just as it had been for a woman to have sex with [Trungpa] Rinpoche", but at least one student reported that Tendzin had raped him. As a former Vajradhatu member attested, "a chilling story had recently been reported by one of … [the] teachers at the Buddhist private school [for the Vajradhatu community]. This straight, married male was pinned face-down across Rich's desk by the guards [the Dorje Kasung] while Rich forcibly raped him."
>It was revealed in 1989 that Tendzin had contracted HIV and for nearly three years knew it, yet continued to have unprotected sex with his students without informing them. He transmitted it to a student who later died of AIDS. Others close to Tendzin, including Vajradhatu's board of directors, knew for two years that Tendzin was HIV-positive and sexually active but kept silent.
Apparently early Hinduism had criticized Buddhism for it's weird practices too.

>It is widely held that Mahendra’s play is a satire of the degenerate sects of his day. For example, both the Kapalika and Pasupata sects must have been considered peculiar during Mahendra’s reign, and the king satirizes them in his play. The Kapalikas embodied a serious, yet suspect, religious concept: Tantrism where religious enlightenment is attained through unorthodox rituals. Some of these notorious rituals were Madya (liquor) and Maithuna (ritual intercourse). Meanwhile, these rituals are satirically echoed by Nagasena, the Buddhist monk, who wonders why Buddhism disallows liquor and women.

>This suspicion was deepened by the Confucian moralists’ opinion that Buddhist monks did not duly respect gender segregation. Buddhist clerics often encouraged female lay devotees to leave their secluded apartments to visit their temples or go on pilgrimages. They also visited the women in their private quarters to expound the sutras to them and edify them with religious talks. These transgressions of Confucian gender boundaries were interpreted by literati as a sign of moral inferiority and thus contributed to the monks’ bad reputation.
Criticism of Buddhists in Korea
>In 1479, Censor General Sŏng Hyŏn (1439–1504) listed four Buddhist monks who had committed lustful behavior or committed fornication with lay women under the guise of prayer rituals and argued that women should be banned from contact with Buddhist monks. The women, whom Sŏng mentioned, included the concubine of a yangban man, the wife of a high official, nuns, the sister of a yangban man, and even the wife of a man belonging to the royal lineage. The female body was the locus of anti-Buddhist criticism that rendered Buddhist ritual activities immoral and incompatible with Confucian values.
>The wrangling over immoral rituals on Mount Kŭmsŏng between King Sŏngjong and the court officials continued. In 1487, the officials again warned that “on Mount Kŭmsŏng, in addition to an official prayer hall set up for the government’s ritual worship, there are five or six more private halls, and a crowd of yangban women from nearby villages gather around and stay [there], so [some men] even lose their wives”.
Buddhism doesn't get enough flack
Buddhism is fucking predatory as shit, only saved by the fact that its buzzwords are parroted around. Seems like it was rightfully criticized since early Hinduism until the 1900s where it got syncretized because of opportunism. Really don't believe it's compatible with socialism, especially with it's buzzwords like "mindfullness" and "manifestation" becoming commonplace.15th century monk
>He was known for his crazy methods of enlightening other beings, mostly women, which earned him the title "The Saint of 5,000 Women". Among other things, women would seek his blessing in the form of sexual intercourse.
>He is credited with introducing the practice of phallus paintings in Bhutan and placing statues of them on rooftops to drive away evil spirits. He is also known for Chimi Lhakhang, the temple of fertility.
20th century monk
>He drank, smoked, slept with students, and often kept students waiting for hours before giving teachings.
>Some of his own methods and actions, particularly his heavy drinking, sexual predation, and his ordering of the sexual assault (forced stripping) of a student and his girlfriend, caused controversy during his lifetime and afterward.
>Trungpa often combined drinking with teaching. In some instances Trungpa was too drunk to walk and had to be carried. Also, according to his student John Steinbeck IV and his wife, on a couple of occasions Trungpa's speech was unintelligible. One woman reported serving him "big glasses of gin first thing in the morning."
>The Steinbecks wrote The Other Side of Eden, a sharply critical memoir of their lives with Trungpa in which they claim that, in addition to alcohol, he spent $40,000 a year on cocaine, and used Seconal to come down from the cocaine. The Steinbecks said the cocaine use was kept secret from the wider Vajradhatu community.
>19th century monk
>Other behavior was troubling as well. As one scholar who has studied the community noted, Tendzin was "bisexual and known to be very promiscuous" and "enjoyed seducing straight men" but the community "did not find [this behavior] particularly troublesome." Not all his partners were unwilling; one scholar noted "it became a mark of prestige for a man, gay or straight, to have sex with the Regent, just as it had been for a woman to have sex with [Trungpa] Rinpoche", but at least one student reported that Tendzin had raped him. As a former Vajradhatu member attested, "a chilling story had recently been reported by one of … [the] teachers at the Buddhist private school [for the Vajradhatu community]. This straight, married male was pinned face-down across Rich's desk by the guards [the Dorje Kasung] while Rich forcibly raped him."
>It was revealed in 1989 that Tendzin had contracted HIV and for nearly three years knew it, yet continued to have unprotected sex with his students without informing them. He transmitted it to a student who later died of AIDS. Others close to Tendzin, including Vajradhatu's board of directors, knew for two years that Tendzin was HIV-positive and sexually active but kept silent.
Apparently early Hinduism had criticized Buddhism for it's weird practices too.

Despite being richer on average and having better positions and generally scoring only slightly worse off if not the same as women in many economic indicators, Men commit significantly more crimes than women. Even more so for violent or severe crime, proven by the fact that they make up so little of the prison population.
This remains true even for places where sexual equality is low.
Why is that? What exactly is the difference between the circumstances and social treatment that makes men more likely to commit crimes? And how to fix that?
Is there any reason to believe the cause is just fundamental and the outcome would still be very disproportionate no matter the nurture?? Is there any deceisive evidence against this?

> If you want to be really esoteric, Marxism is advanced feudalism.
No. Marxism is not advanced feudalism. Feudalism is predicated on aristocrat-serf class relations, whereas Marxism is predicated on the elimination of class relations. On what planet could one possibly come to the "esoteric" conclusion that Marxism is "advanced feudalism?" Even assuming this is inspired by that dumb pop-Economics book from Yanis Varoufakis (Technoefeudalism) that is not even his hypothesis. His hypothesis is that the capitalist countries are becoming Technofeudal, not the AES countries. I am honestly baffled by this take and thought it deserved its own thread, because I did not want to derail the thread I found it in. Where are people getting this idea? Is there a common source for this revision or is it arising out of pure vibes?

Marx was historically a revisionist
>Marx underestimated capitalism's adaptability. Lenin's theory of imperialism was necessary to explain monopoly capitalism, colonialism, and the export of capital.
>Marx underdeveloped revolutionary organization. He never developed Lenin's theory of the disciplined vanguard party, democratic centralism, and professional revolutionary organization.
>Marx did not fully resolve the question of the state. Lenin developed the dictatorship of the proletariat into a much more concrete theory of revolutionary state power.
>Marxism-Leninism necessarily goes beyond Marx. Lenin, Stalin, and later revolutionaries developed Marxism according to new material conditions.
Calling Marx a revisionist is historically accurate, arguing that some Marxian positions became inadequate or revisionist when preserved uncritically after Lenin's developments is a defensible ML position.

<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?
where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.
For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.

Fanmods, total conversions, and independent projects
I was kind of intending this thread to be a storehouse of replies for<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?
where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.
For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.

Saudi Arabia said it would retaliate after the overnight strikes – reportedly involving dozens of drones and missiles – that targeted several oil facilities in the country’s south. The country would “take all necessary measures to defend its sovereignty”, a foreign ministry statement said, demanding a halt to the Houthi strikes on Saudi territory and oil tankers in the Red Sea.

Netanyahu ‘Was Warned Ahead of 7 October but Failed to Act’
The investigation, published by Haaretz on Tuesday, claims that UAE president Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed told the Israeli prime minister by phone that the armed group was “preparing for a major event”. Netanyahu did not tell intelligence and military leaders about the conversation, according to the report, which cites unnamed senior foreign sources and a close adviser to bin Zayed who was present on the call.

We would encourage retailers to take young people on in paid work, with secure hours and opportunities for progression. “Where employers are using work experience schemes they must ensure that this is time limited, is done separately from current and future staffing resources and that it involves real training and a route to permanent, secure work.”

Brazil Supreme Court removes federal police chief, deepening crisis at the top court
Mendonca currently chairs two politically sensitive investigations: one into the collapse of Banco Master, which has ensnared several politicians, and another into alleged frauds in Brazil’s pension system. The first has hit mostly figures of the country’s opposition, while the latter has raised questions of wrongdoing by one of Lula’s sons. Brazil’s government did not immediately respond to a request from The Associated Press on whether it will appeal.

Kenya’s doctors threaten to join strike by nurses, citing increased workload in hospitals
The nurses have been calling for the implementation of a collective bargaining agreement that was signed in 2017 following a six-month strike. The agreement remains unimplemented due to what the government has termed budgetary constraints. Dr. Davji Bhimji Atellah, secretary-general of the doctors’ union, said on Tuesday that doctors were overburdened and “cannot do the nursing jobs.”

Back then, GamerGate was the start of something fresh, something edgy, something that was actually rebellious against both the bourgeois moralisms stifling the internet and the feminist hegemony that no western male could escape from. It was an escape valve, in other words.
But of course, I was wrong as GamerGate later on mestatized into being another wing of the current right-wing hegemonic ChudIntern. Indeed, GamerGate was merely an exercise in online reactionary activism, but we should actually try to analyse it as opposed to dismissing it as chuds being chuds.
It’s won’t give you the kind of analysis that has probably been done to death here, such as the alienation of young men, the rise of white upper-class female idpol and the HR-style managerial culture that preceded online censorship and SJWs’ political correctness, journos forming email groups as part of a coordinated attack on the median gamer, the MSM’s double standards towards female-exclusive spaces vs treating male-only spaces (such as gaming) pathologically, etc…
This is a good summary of the event from a gamergater’s POV: https://wolfsheadonline.com/how-wikipedia-and-molly-white-rewrote-the-history-of-gamergate/
Instead, I’ll say this: The rise of the gooner chuds that you see today is a product of GamerGate, itself being downstream from the left’s rejection of sex-positivity and and pathologisation of any form of assertive male heterosexuality to heed the demands of the feminist bourgeoise that held a stranglehold on the left.
Obviously the online right isn’t really sex-positive as much as being pro-sexual hierarchy and has been the case within the western right since the days of the Nazis and even before then (e.g., Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume). It’s just that their vision of sexuality makes enough space for male heterosexuality to attract young men (the most revolutionary demographic) into their fold. The left’s response? It’s either dumb Puritanism as shown by puriteens who think Euphoria (that show starring Sydney Sweeney) is rape culture, or bastardised “trad Marxism” about banning porn and prosties cuz muh exploitation even tho Chinese games nowadays are heavily gooned out + the Soviet bloc was lax on non-commercial erotica (hence why post-collapse Eastern Europe became a thriving heaven for porn). The modern left thought that selling out on the 1970s sex positivity to appease radfems was worth it despite handing the right a victory. I mean, remember that time Reddit’s r/socialism mods went apeshit over catgirl anime edits even tho it was done a female leftist member and it was just SFW anime girls but with cat ears edited on them? Yh, that’s the level of discourse you’re dealing with when it comes to sex-negative leftists.
Of course, there’s the issue of ageism, and ohh boy is that big. There’s this attitude among both the centre and the left where young men are often infantilised as being lost sheeple or stigmatised over their age in ways that would be alienating if done to other demographics, so the end result is young men flocking to the right precisely because they don’t think they will have any stakes in the left. Seniors are supposed to help youths who are proven to be determined to fight for the revolution, not throw’ em away for violating some HR-mandated code. It’s one thing to maintain decorum in conversations and being opposed to extremism, but you won’t get far if you try to overpolice on every little convo your members have.
What’s the takeaway from me then? The left rejecting sex-positivity and embracing ageism were its two biggest mistakes that cost them an entire generation.
P.S.: It’s one thing to oppose sexual hierarchies that devalue humans, it’s another to devalue the body and the Eros in and of themselves. The left shouldn’t necessarily embrace prostitution, but it also shouldn’t embrace sex-negativity either. I would personally suggest reviving the free sex movement because, if sex does become widely available under a secular sex positive society, then obviously prostitutes and porn studios and pimps would be out of business. That’s why Marx often noted how traditionalist marital moralism coexisted with prostitution, with or without its prohibition. But I’m open for other suggestions.
Again, can’t say if it’s said already or not, but I do think those points need to be hammered home as it seems that the left prior to the Gaza genocide was struggling to remain relevant, especially as Big tech right figures like Musk and Thiel were pumping a shit ton of dollars to aid the remnants of the alt-right to carve their mockingbird network out of it; their work has paid off in the form of the current unholy MAGA and alt-right and neocon nexus that I’d like to call “white neoconservatism with Enoch Powell characteristics”, with Australia’s and Canada’s brightest minds Drew Pavlou and Captive_Dreamer starting out differently only to end up being rabid racist neocons.
So yh: Sex-negativity and Ageism are bad things, folks.

Every historical and material example shows that prohibition is not going to be effective and brings its own problems, not to mention that the motivation for these policies were often intentional to hurt varying groups of people deemed undesirable - from the entire alcohol prohibition era until its repeal for instance, or the now famous Nixon staffer talking about how drugs were an easy way to target 'the hippies, mexicans, and blacks', the cocaine era and crack epidemic, AIDS being spread by sharing needles, and so much more. Its now common knowledge that not only did "drugs win the drug war, and continue to do so" but all the harm done by it also made profiteers wealthy, from narco traffickers who operated private armies, to the whole Iran-Contra affair and Air America black budget work in the Golden Triangle during and after Vietnam, to military-industrial complex extended to militarized policing etc. Most of the money went to a handful of people from the criminal enterprise or those ostensibly fighting it, while people paid more for worse quality, less safe products. This is no longer the kind of thing you'd only read about from some underground zine next to psychotic ramblings, its well documented and seemingly, accepted . So why are we not doing anything about it ?
It seems that the only lefties who comment on the drug issue at all are those with the myopic to just plain incorrect issue of fixating on pharmaceutical companies, doctors etc.. at fault for things like the opioid crisis, which is far from the truth. While certain companies like Perdue Pharma were guilty of malfeasance (the specifics here I can get into but the way they advertised it even to medical professionals was inaccurate ) and there were cash only "pill mill" doctors and pharmacists writing large quantities of controlled substances for patients they barely met, these were individual issues of professional and often illegal conduct that could be handled by existing structures. The bigger problems came from how in response to high profile events, crackdowns made doctors responsibly treating pain (which is MASSIVELY undertreated in our society which is also in more pain than ever thanks to a variety of factors) , afraid or even unable to treat patients, meaning some of them would go to the streets - where the actual epidemic came from. The crossover was primarily from the pill mills early on selling to those that would become dealers (known as "diversion" from legit use and Rx to the black market), but this is not what started the "epidemic" of opioid deaths and other addiction behaviors ticking up . Rather, it was the black market discovering fentanyl, which could be fabricated cheaply, and was extremely strong. Even with heroin there was massive varied quality from being "stepped on" with all matter of junk added as filler for dealers and cartels to make more cash, and a stronger product when not expected could lead to death because of uncertain dosing. However fentanyl was so much stronger even a small variation in strength vs the last batch, could be enough to kill users etc. These deaths is where the "epidemic" became an issue in the 2010s, but their response ranged from ineffective and piecemeal under Dems, to actively malevolent and punishment focused under Republicans. Now, we're looking at banning yet more "research chemical" analogues and the suppliers in China and the LATAM cartels who actually process and distribute are playing cat and mouse games, while the White House decides to blow up boats deemed to be carrying "narco-terrorists". Addiction and use of black market drugs (not just opioids but many other substances) continue up through the Pandemic era and beyond, more recently allowing questionable "addiction therapy centers" to spring up, many of which are expensive and adhere to half baked 12-step processes; those lucky enough to have health insurance cover very little in-patient offers and the kinds of places that do comprehensive therapy and medication assistance with patient comfort in mind, aren't available or affordable to many. Patients with legitimate pain management needs are having their doses restricted by doctors who are afraid of state controlled substance boards and the FDA intruding, all predicated on a garbage FDA document that was originally intended for dosing patients short term and with no opioid experience/tolerance that came about in the 1st Trump term. To his credit, Biden did alter it slightly but like everything else insufficient, plus the damage had already been done; insurance companies (atop the rest) now used those standards for what they'd cover, meaning patients who couldnt' pay out of pocket would not get their meds much of the time. This, right at the time where pharmacies often refused cash payment for controlled substances because they were told that was what evil drug dealers did etc . These are barely scraping the surface of the issues, not to mention things like how areas that decriminalized certain usage now are pushing for more police presence because "drunk/high people are laying/leaning everywhere and leaving needles and broken glass in public areas etc) . Its problems atop problems.
It seems a perfect time for the Left to make this a priority. We have the last decade of the Marijuana/Cannabis experiment to prove that despite the cries from the right, there was no Reefer Madness. THere were issues in the implementation especially given how monied entities started investing in wider pot fabrication and distribution, but that can be solved if we just go the last 10% and ensure true legalization everwhere, but most of the work is done. The next thing to focus upon is other drugs. I'd advocate for a program of regulated legalization, where the substances are legal to possess and use, but who and how they can be bought, or manufactured for widespread sale, can be regulated properly similar to other intoxicants, be it for medical or recreational use.
Dispensing with the fear around many substances and the insane prohibition that has pushed potentially helpful drugs off the market for fear of how they may be abused will also allow research into making them safer. We've had relatively little development in drug segments thought to be the "fun kind abuse or addictive" and even specific refusal to make drugs safer and less physically addicting, for fear it would be "less of a deterrent thus leading to more abuse"! Its completely insane. Just like when we legalized alcohol again, we had a stunning drop in the amount of people turning up blind from drinking some adulterated paint thinner sold on the black market or some idiot using lead liners in their beer or wine brewing, we'd see users trend away from black market garbage in favor of safer, standardized alternatives. You'd have many fewer overdoses if you knew that every pill or vial was going to have consistent strength; not to mention prohibiting harmful additives and anything not disclosed on the label. They could all be made far cheaper too, especially if leftists made the issue a focal point; perhaps even have certain cultivation or manufacture dedicated to being at-cost for the public benefit. There could also be taxes and fees specifically designed to support addiction support services built in, a better version of the "sin taxes" that alcohol and cigarettes utilize. Investing in greater addition support and prevention treatments would be a part of it - infact, some of the very drugs that are illegal currently have the potential benefit of helping rewire the brain to contend with physical dependence as well as psychological dependence; ibogaine, a hallucinogen has shown promise for decades and despite it being not a "party drug" in any way or particularly fun, still requires going to another country to hope you find someone capable of providing ibogaine therapy, legally. MDMA has huge benefits to PTSD and other psychiatric issues if used correctly, but outside very limited trials its illegality has driven recreational users into more harmful meds masquerading as the hard-to-synthesize-properly MDMA, most of which are some combination of amphetamine or other unknown assortment meant to mimic what its "supposed" to feel like.
There are many other factors that could be discussed, but legalization and regulation done properly would lead to a massive improvement to quality of life for average person, obliterating many of the criminal elements that the Right fixates on in order to scare the populace into compliance, and otherwise benefits society. While there will be issues and friction - the initial apparent "increase" of drug users or adverse effects for instance is likely to be simply converting what used to be unreported into something that can be tracked even without a legal or medical calamity - it seems a worthwhile element. There are many groups that have been particularly harmed by the drug war in the past, from sexual or racial minorities to the disabled and patients who find their care restricted by insurance and fearful practitioners alike, but much like with the repeal of alcohol prohibition it will likely have wide ranging benefits across many strata of society if done right. It seems like a simple focal point for leftist political actors to grab hold, identify how capitalist exploitation and authoritarian puritanism alike have pushed a knowingly bad policy for decades in the hopes it will harm "the wrong people, and its all their fault for being weak enough to be harmed in the first place".
Ending the drug war and legalization; why not a greater focus among Western left-leaning politics?
Pretty much everyone under 50 in the US is aware that the drug war failed. Once we rule out those on the right who feel that the only reason it failed was a lack of authoritarianism, need it to justify various prejudices towards the "wrong" sort of people etc.. and the like, we come down to even vaguely centrists from a social point of view and an even wider group for economic ones (though the specifics of implementation may differ), see that this is a failed, ineffective strategy. Especially among those who define themselves as left leaning, why is ending the drug war and replacing it with legalization and regulated, affordable substances a greater political focal point?Every historical and material example shows that prohibition is not going to be effective and brings its own problems, not to mention that the motivation for these policies were often intentional to hurt varying groups of people deemed undesirable - from the entire alcohol prohibition era until its repeal for instance, or the now famous Nixon staffer talking about how drugs were an easy way to target 'the hippies, mexicans, and blacks', the cocaine era and crack epidemic, AIDS being spread by sharing needles, and so much more. Its now common knowledge that not only did "drugs win the drug war, and continue to do so" but all the harm done by it also made profiteers wealthy, from narco traffickers who operated private armies, to the whole Iran-Contra affair and Air America black budget work in the Golden Triangle during and after Vietnam, to military-industrial complex extended to militarized policing etc. Most of the money went to a handful of people from the criminal enterprise or those ostensibly fighting it, while people paid more for worse quality, less safe products. This is no longer the kind of thing you'd only read about from some underground zine next to psychotic ramblings, its well documented and seemingly, accepted . So why are we not doing anything about it ?
It seems that the only lefties who comment on the drug issue at all are those with the myopic to just plain incorrect issue of fixating on pharmaceutical companies, doctors etc.. at fault for things like the opioid crisis, which is far from the truth. While certain companies like Perdue Pharma were guilty of malfeasance (the specifics here I can get into but the way they advertised it even to medical professionals was inaccurate ) and there were cash only "pill mill" doctors and pharmacists writing large quantities of controlled substances for patients they barely met, these were individual issues of professional and often illegal conduct that could be handled by existing structures. The bigger problems came from how in response to high profile events, crackdowns made doctors responsibly treating pain (which is MASSIVELY undertreated in our society which is also in more pain than ever thanks to a variety of factors) , afraid or even unable to treat patients, meaning some of them would go to the streets - where the actual epidemic came from. The crossover was primarily from the pill mills early on selling to those that would become dealers (known as "diversion" from legit use and Rx to the black market), but this is not what started the "epidemic" of opioid deaths and other addiction behaviors ticking up . Rather, it was the black market discovering fentanyl, which could be fabricated cheaply, and was extremely strong. Even with heroin there was massive varied quality from being "stepped on" with all matter of junk added as filler for dealers and cartels to make more cash, and a stronger product when not expected could lead to death because of uncertain dosing. However fentanyl was so much stronger even a small variation in strength vs the last batch, could be enough to kill users etc. These deaths is where the "epidemic" became an issue in the 2010s, but their response ranged from ineffective and piecemeal under Dems, to actively malevolent and punishment focused under Republicans. Now, we're looking at banning yet more "research chemical" analogues and the suppliers in China and the LATAM cartels who actually process and distribute are playing cat and mouse games, while the White House decides to blow up boats deemed to be carrying "narco-terrorists". Addiction and use of black market drugs (not just opioids but many other substances) continue up through the Pandemic era and beyond, more recently allowing questionable "addiction therapy centers" to spring up, many of which are expensive and adhere to half baked 12-step processes; those lucky enough to have health insurance cover very little in-patient offers and the kinds of places that do comprehensive therapy and medication assistance with patient comfort in mind, aren't available or affordable to many. Patients with legitimate pain management needs are having their doses restricted by doctors who are afraid of state controlled substance boards and the FDA intruding, all predicated on a garbage FDA document that was originally intended for dosing patients short term and with no opioid experience/tolerance that came about in the 1st Trump term. To his credit, Biden did alter it slightly but like everything else insufficient, plus the damage had already been done; insurance companies (atop the rest) now used those standards for what they'd cover, meaning patients who couldnt' pay out of pocket would not get their meds much of the time. This, right at the time where pharmacies often refused cash payment for controlled substances because they were told that was what evil drug dealers did etc . These are barely scraping the surface of the issues, not to mention things like how areas that decriminalized certain usage now are pushing for more police presence because "drunk/high people are laying/leaning everywhere and leaving needles and broken glass in public areas etc) . Its problems atop problems.
It seems a perfect time for the Left to make this a priority. We have the last decade of the Marijuana/Cannabis experiment to prove that despite the cries from the right, there was no Reefer Madness. THere were issues in the implementation especially given how monied entities started investing in wider pot fabrication and distribution, but that can be solved if we just go the last 10% and ensure true legalization everwhere, but most of the work is done. The next thing to focus upon is other drugs. I'd advocate for a program of regulated legalization, where the substances are legal to possess and use, but who and how they can be bought, or manufactured for widespread sale, can be regulated properly similar to other intoxicants, be it for medical or recreational use.

>China’s criminal policy of “Two Restraints, One Leniency” (liangshao yikuan 两少一宽) was enacted during the administration of reformist leader Hu Yaobang (1982-1987). Derived from a Soviet-era policy that granted regional autonomy and preferential protection to ethnic minorities, the policy had the intended purpose of strengthening the political loyalty of ethnic minorities in the multi-national country. Hu believed that granting sufficient autonomy to members of ethnic minority groups was indispensable for safeguarding national unity. To this end, Hu improved ethnic representation in politics across autonomous regions. This progressive policy was reversed by Deng Xiaoping and Hu’s successors. In 1984, Hu pushed through the Central Committee Document Number Five, a new criminal policy which called on law enforcement to be lenient towards criminal offenders from ethnic minority groups by making fewer arrests and handing down fewer executions and lighter sentences to ethnic minority offenders.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liangshaoyikuan
>Liangshaoyikuan (Chinese: 兩少一寬; lit. 'two fewers [in arrests and executions] and one leniency [in sentencing]'), was a policy of the government of the People's Republic of China of giving leniency in charges and sentences with regard to minorities as compared to Han for the same criminal offenses.[1] The policy was enacted in 1984 by Peng Zhen and Hu Yaobang. On July 9, 2010, a statement jointly published by the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party, State Ethnic Affairs Commission, and United Front Work Department suggested that "everyone should be equal before the law, and criminals should be punished regardless of their ethnicity". However, they do not have the legal authority to challenge a policy implemented by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, a higher authority; the policy has thus never been officially repealed.

The American question is: how does a settler-imperialist nation transform itself into a decolonized socialist commonwealth without either reproducing the imperial form or fragmenting into balkanized enclaves that allow capital to reconstitute, while resolving the contradictions of internal colonization and liberating its external colonies, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

Awkward Capitalism
The emergence of capitalism is recent and things have accelerated faster than people can adapt to. We are used to foraging, hunting, farming, fishing, or scavenging. But now you can work in the rat wheel for 8 hours a day for five days a week, at minimum, to be able to afford obesity, rentals, and carcinogenic drugs. Capitalism is awkward to humankind; we are used to frolicking freely in the sun.

The most ridiculous part was that the supposed divide between the Dirtbag Left and the DSA left barely existed. They agreed on healthcare, labor, foreign policy, housing, policing and virtually every other major issue. The defining ideological conflict of the era was essentially whether you were allowed to make edgy 90's raunch comedy jokes on podcasts. Entire feuds and endless Twitter meltdowns emerged from a disagreement that amounted to "can you say slurs ironically?"
The confidence was incredible, leftist genuinely talked as if DSA-aligned leadership of every major American city was inevitable, as if Bernie was one good news cycle away from the White House and as if a handful of podcasts by stand up comedians had somehow cracked the code of political history.
In retrospect, it all seems absurd. There was never a realistic path to any of it. The movement's grandest ambitions had essentially zero chance of materializing.
Then reality intervened. Bernie lost, The post-COVID world arrivedm Housing crises worsened, Migration became politically explosive, Major wars returnedm China didn't democratize and instead looked increasingly capable of navigating long-term crises without becoming a Western liberal democracy and the assumptions underlying the entire scene collapsed one by one.
A lot of the old supporters ended up as tankies. A smaller but noticeable number drifted toward the far right. Sometimes they somehow became both at once. The aesthetic transformation is almost as funny as the political one, the old Dirtbag Left revolved around schlubby podcasters making jokes about being ironically gay, the people who inherited its audience are often obsessed with MMA, military history, geopolitical realism and posting shirtless workout photos. The few remaining loyalists seem to have finally realized that their politics were never meaningfully different from the DSA's in the first place and appear perfectly content settling into the role of ordinary progressive liberals.
What a strange, stupid little farce that was.
On the Dirtbag Left/DSA movement
For a brief moment from 2016-2022 this was supposedly the pinnacle of online left-wing politics. Bernie was about to win, Democratic socialism was the future, China would inevitably democratize and the old boring MLism was dead. A few DSA-backed candidates winning city council seats in already progressive districts was treated as if the Bolsheviks had just stormed the Winter Palace.The most ridiculous part was that the supposed divide between the Dirtbag Left and the DSA left barely existed.

This candidacy confirms the PCF's desire to maintain an independent voice in the presidential race. For several years, Fabien Roussel has championed a platform strongly focused on work and purchasing power. He notably proposed replacing the RSA (basic income support) with a salary linked to employment or training.

Sikh federation and Indian Workers Association condemn visit of far-right RSS leader to London gurdwara
The RSS is an umbrella of community organisations and paramilitary bodies aligned with India’s ruling BJP, which actually originated as the civilian wing of the RSS. It is regularly accused of organising violent attacks on religious minorities in India as well as against secular political parties and women’s groups.

Far-right AfD wins key German state election but falls just short of majority
That was far ahead of Merz’s CDU , which polled 17.2% – losing about half its support – and won 15 seats. The centre-left Social Democrats polled 9.3%, the Greens 8.9% and the Left party 8.6%, winning eight seats apiece. The BSW party, which has said it would not elect either Siegmund or incumbent Sven Schulze as governor but criticises the “firewall” against AfD, took 5.3% and five seats. Participation in the election was at a record high of 76.5%.

“No life without language” | Student protests intensify in Al-Hasakah and Kobani as schools face closures after Kurdish curriculum cuts
Protests are escalating as the new academic year begins in several areas of Al-Hasakah and Kobani, following a decision to limit Kurdish-language classes to just three hours per week. The move has sparked widespread anger among students and their families, who see it as a violation of their right to learn in their mother tongue, amid growing fears that schools may close if their demands are not fulfilled.

Iraqi factions reject September deadline to hand over weapons
The factions' main demands include the withdrawal of US and Turkish forces from Iraq, an end to what they describe as Washington's "political and financial tutelage", the dismantling of the Peshmerga and deployment of federal forces in the Kurdistan Region, and the provision of missile and air defence systems capable of protecting Iraqi airspace. Mehdi al-Kaabi, a leader in the Nujaba Movement, separately told The New Arab that his group also "does not regard the government deadline for handing over weapons as binding".

Jamaica takes its case for reparations for Britain’s role in slavery to King Charles III
Using legal traditions that stretch back to the early days of the British Empire, Jamaica petitioned the king on Monday to refer a series of questions about slavery, and the U.K.’s responsibility to pay damages, to a committee of the Privy Council, which serves as the highest court for former colonies that retain ties to the British legal system. While the petition is formally addressed to the king, Charles has no personal say on whether it will be referred to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and he will act on the advice of the government.

Jamaica takes its case for reparations for Britain’s role in slavery to King Charles III
Using legal traditions that stretch back to the early days of the British Empire, Jamaica petitioned the king on Monday to refer a series of questions about slavery, and the U.K.’s responsibility to pay damages, to a committee of the Privy Council, which serves as the highest court for former colonies that retain ties to the British legal system. While the petition is formally addressed to the king, Charles has no personal say on whether it will be referred to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and he will act on the advice of the government.
