Why do people think Communism and belief in God is incompatible?

I see no reason why in an anarcho zone I can’t pray or believe in some deity. I think the problem is religions that compel people to do things in the name of the deity- why do so many communists take hostility if someone personally thinks god started the big bang and treat it as counterrevolutionary?

Questions on The Holocaust

This is not a holocaust denial thread
This is not a holocaust revisionism thread
I have multiple questions that came to mind when reading an exchange from this thread: https://leftypol.org/leftypol/res/2924947.html
Here is an (abridged) exchange between two anons:

Anon A:
>"the holocaust" refers to the nazi genocides against slavic peoples as well as jews, not just the genocide against the jews.
Anon B:
<Wrong. The Jews are always the center of the Holocaust narrative.

This raises the first question. Descriptively, does the phrase "The Holocaust" refer only to the genocide against the jews of Europe, or does it also include the related and overlapping genocides against other groups like Slavs, Romani, Poles, as well as the mass murder of political groups like Communists?

Another exchange in that thread can be abridged as follows:

Anon C:
>nobody really gave a shit about the Holocaust back then either. People only became obsessed with the Holocaust around the 1960s because of Jewish-Zionist psyops.
Anon D:
<yes they did. 100 years from now people like you will be saying nobody gave a shit about palestinian genocide until 2050. but that won't make it true.

This raises the second question. Did people actually care about The Holocaust when it was a contemporary and ongoing event, or did nobody really care until the 1960s?

Personally I think evidence leans towards "The Holocaust" referring to all the nazi mass murder, and not just the jews, though I am open to persuasion.

Furthermore I think people did care about it when it was a contemporary event, and the soviets seem proud of their work in liberating the concentration camps, as well as the Nazi-occupied countries like Belarus, Poland and Ukraine.

<If the UK suddenly found itself at war, would you know what to do? Do you know what would be expected of you?

>The government wants us all to start preparing for severe disruption to our lives. It wants us to stockpile canned food and drinking water, strengthen our civic resilience, and plan for the possibility of war.

>Work has begun on the government's so-called "war book", which hasn't been updated in decades.

>The UK's most senior soldier has sounded the alarm. The Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Richard Knighton this week said the threat from Russia meant Britain was living through the "most dangerous" period of his 35-year career in the armed forces.

>But what is the threat? In 1940 the danger of a German invasion of the UK was very real. But the chances of Russian tanks rolling up Whitehall are surely negligible.

>"It's not the tanks you need to worry about," says historian Margaret MacMillan, author of War: How Conflict Shaped Us.

>"It's the cutting of cables on the ocean floor. It's the hacking into systems on which so many things depend. The possibility for asymmetric war, for cyber war, is growing by leaps and bounds."

>But are we ready? After 80 years without war on our own soil, are we, as a society, psychologically prepared for it? Are we ready to approve large increases in defence spending, and for the sacrifices that that might entail in other areas of our national life? Or does the threat seem too far-fetched to be real?

PAUL COCKSHOTT EXPELLED FROM THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN FOR "ANTISEMITISM"

https://paulcockshott.wordpress.com/2026/10/04/on-my-expulsion-from-the-communist-party-of-britain/

PAUL COCKSHOTT EXPELLED FROM THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN FOR "ANTISEMITISM" AMONG OTHER THINGS

Quote:

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

The Chinese question is: how does a comfy non-imperialist nation transform itself into a global socialist model that can be reproduced and adopted by the rest of the world, without either reproducing the aggressive and counter-productive policies of the USSR or appearing toothless, while resolving the contradictions of the so-called first world FOR THEM and liberating them from capitalist domination, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

<A thread for the harmonious discussion related to the saviour of socialism, the uplifter of nations, the king of cooperation, the soviet of SOVL, the enjoyer of empathy, the ally of Africa, the demigod of development, the bureaucracy for banter, the prince of ping pong, the lobotomizer of labour aristocracy, the protector against proxy wars, the sponsor of sophisticated sciences and culture, the guarantor of gommunism, the Proletarian Dictatorship of Chynah™.

IT’S OVER for Zohran

I’m done with this fraud.

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

Fuck this man.

WILLKOMENSKULTUR IST VORBEI edition

>“The age of Willkommenskultur is over, the era of mass deportations has begun,” commented the Sweden Democrats party, whose MEP Charlie Weimers played a central role as ECR’s shadow rapporteur.
>In a rare show of unity on the European Right, the directive was adopted not only by the national conservative groups (PfE, ECR, and ESN) but also the EPP, which votes together with the leftist parties in the vast majority of cases.
>Most importantly, the new law will introduce a mutual recognition and enforcement obligation between member states regarding deportation orders, meaning migrants cannot circumvent return decisions by moving to a different EU country and restarting the process. A return order in one country will legally count as a valid order in all of them.
>Another important point is the introduction of third-country return hubs, making it possible for member states to externalize return procedures by sending migrants to secure facilities outside EU territory to wait for the end of the process, ensuring they won’t escape implementation once the paperwork’s done.

Firefighters are also on semi strike, they continue to intervene but with "ON STRIKE" on all their strikes. Farmers are also starting a movement, and yellow vest were due to return on 17 october but might happen sooner.

Spainish protests

Have you heard about the Spainish protests? Do we have any espanolanonos who can elaborate?

Context: an ~80yo woman who was on a rental contract that she inherited from her parents had her house taken over by private equity, increased the rent by like 4x, then evicted her. The people successfully resisted it and it has now turned into a mass movement of the landless youth.

/MENA/#2

A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. 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.

As a communist, why should I support open borders and immigration? I've read Marx and Lenin and I don't see why it's a good idea to let millions to enter since they're cheap labour for capitalists and in fact the USSR had strict immigration policies, same with China.

I'm not xenophobic or racist at all, in fact I like multiculturalism, I love going out and having dinner in any foreign restaurant and I have friends from all ethnicities, but I just don't agree with letting everyone in. I'm not trolling or ragebaiting, I genuinely want to know.

lost in a world of copouts & frauds

cut from the cloth, and cut quite severely
is this my world, i no longer recognize?
i'm hearing common words, common expressions
but nothing is common in my eyes

how do people sleep amidst the slaughter?
why would they vote in favor of their own defeat?
get out to the well and check the water
results were incomplete

cut from the cloth, and dead to the masses
just another case to be eulogized
but i'm breathing, breathing with no assistance
responding to stimuli

can anyone explain these new laws of nature?
why would they rule in favor of their own defeat?
cynics are excused from standing up to problems
because they can't get out of their seats

cut from the cloth, i ran out screaming
i hope that none of this will stick to me
everyone is nice, everyone is kind now
at least they're nice and kind to me

why would they fold up something so precious?
why would they sing in favor of their own defeat?
maybe they found their voice while out shopping

Three years after October 7th this very difficult question needs to be asked:

Materially speaking, what can the American left — or any country’s left — do to actually “support” Palestine?

I’ve been an activist for Palestine solidarity since 2008. I’ve seen this movement change drastically during this time. Basically, 18 years ago you could support a two-state solution on the ‘67 border just fine without scrutiny. Now, post-Gaza genocide, you’re considered a “Zio” or “normalizer” if you support anything other than a full-blown Algeria scenario whereby every single Israeli Jew is deported or forced to flee. But let’s be honest: even if this is what we wanted, the American (or overall western) left has no ability to make this happen. It’s as stupid as claiming you’re a sellout unless you support a gigantic communist uprising happening tomorrow. Given that what we mentally support means nothing unless we can do material support, what’s the fucking point?

Oh but it’s a MORAL LITMUS TEST! — so fucking what? Even if we wanted to weed out the “immoral” people from our movement we still have no ability to carry out the results we want to see.

So where does that leave us? What should the left be doing for Palestine that it already hasn’t been doing for the past 20 years? We’ve done mass protests, boycotts, pressuring politicians, attempting to blockade weapons shipments, etc. Some people like Elias Rodriguez even used political violence. And guess what? Nothing happened in terms of the Palestinians winning. Israel’s reputation is in the shitter, but why hasn’t that translated into a Palestinian victory? How much longer do we have to wait for Israel to collapse, and if that happens on what basis would an “Algeria” scenario emerge?

Maybe I’m wrong but I really want to know what it actually means to “support Palestine” now.

Lil Marcollini's Fascist Speech

This is a long speech. So I figured it would be better to make a new thread than have a bunch of consecutive posts in /USApol/ It also concerns other countries besides the US.

<We wuz Romo-Grekko-Homo-Judeans and shit

Anyone's listen to Rubio's speech at the Acropolis the other day? Most fascist fucking thing I've heard from anyone in the admin. I think he's trying to become some philosopher short king. It was entirely about RETVRN about how Greeks and Romans believed the weak should fear the strong and literally gave a shout out to Great Man Theory. He gave a few random asides to Christianity like "and later they became Christian." But he didn't list anything that was a Christian virtue accept he said they were willing to die for their beliefs like the based Greco-Romans.

>There are great ruins all across the world. In many cases, they are places where history seems to have exhausted itself: remnants of distant cultures that have long passed beyond living memory.

>Two and a half centuries after the founding of the American republic halfway across the world from where I stand now – I stand here today as the Secretary of State of that republic, and a great-grandson of settlers who arrived in the new world from Spain – I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space can ever extinguish.

>The history of America, the history of my country, is covered with the fingerprints of antiquity. Greece is literally carved into the architecture of our government: in the towering columns, in the domes and the monuments across our capital city. The city where our Constitution was born – Philadelphia – is itself a Greek name.

>But the Acropolis is different.

>For thousands of years, the civilization that built what stands behind me has captivated the imagination of the Western world. Generations of our statesmen, artists, and philosophers have looked to it – they’ve looked to it with wonder and they’ve looked to it with awe.

>Now time has a tendency to dull the senses: great victories and catastrophic defeats, they seem to shrink to becoming like a footnote in a textbook, another fact for our schoolchildren to memorize and forget. But the Greeks of antiquity, they seem to have an almost mystical hold on our memory. They call us back to them, again and again.

>480 years before Christ, the armies of Xerxes arrived in this city and they put its sanctuaries to the torch. Most Athenians had by then evacuated by ship to a nearby island. But there was a handful of them that refused to leave their home. So instead, they barricaded themselves in the rocky fortress of the Acropolis to fight an extraordinary last stand, heaving massive stones down the cliffs onto the Persian invaders and holding the greatest empire of the age at bay for days. They were eventually overwhelmed. The Persians plundered the temples, burned the shrines, and razed the Acropolis to the ground but when the Athenians returned, they gathered the broken remains of the old Acropolis and buried them in the hill where it had stood. And decades later, under Pericles, they raised the Parthenon.
GODDAMN SHEETY PERSIANS!

>For 25 centuries since, the Parthenon has stood. Empires have risen and fallen beneath its shadow. And the progeny of the men who built it – the sons of Athens and Rome – have carried their civilization with them to the ends of the Earth.

>Two and a half centuries after the founding of the American republic halfway across the world from where I stand now – I stand here today as the Secretary of State of that republic, and a great-grandson of settlers who arrived in the new world from Spain – I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space can ever extinguish.

>The history of America, the history of my country, is covered with the fingerprints of antiquity. Greece is literally carved into the architecture of our government: in the towering columns, in the domes and the monuments across our capital city. The city where our Constitution was born – Philadelphia – is itself a Greek name.

>The men who founded my country were fascinated by the heritage we inherited from yours. They were exceptionally well-read in history – they were vividly aware of their unique place in it – but no other age of the past held their attention or their imagination quite like that of antiquity. Many, many people are surprised to learn that the most commonly cited author in the Federalist Papers was not an Enlightenment philosopher or political theorist. No, the most commonly cited author in the Federalist Papers was Plutarch, the Greek biographer of Greece and Rome’s great men.

>Now, much has been written and said about the influence of ancient Greece on the ideas of the American Founders – and, for that matter, on all of the Western philosophers and statesmen that preceded them. Most of us are familiar with the basic history. Athens gave us democracy. Plato and Aristotle gave us Western philosophy. Our ideas of law, of virtue, of citizenship, and republican government were shaped in the Greek city-states. Even much of our political vocabulary – words like democracy, tyranny, the word “politics” itself – found its origins here.

>Now, all of that is true. But the things we owe to this place – as Americans, and as Westerners – are actually far far deeper. These institutions and ideas – these institutions and ideas were the outward expression of more fundamental qualities we see in the ancient Greeks – qualities that can’t be reduced to any particular political system or theory.

>Here, in Athens, we found the first full realization of all the essential traits that would come to define the West: fierce individuality and relentless ambition; daring exploration and invention; a yearning for discovery, for adventure, risk and glory. An insatiable curiosity about the world and the principles by which it operates, a hunger to know the mysteries of nature and grasp the secrets of the cosmos. An impatience with the notion of impossibility, chafing at all boundaries and limits, straining to peer into the depths of the unknown.

>These were not just the formulas or precepts of a particular school of philosophy. They were the characteristic of a people – expressed in their traditions, their stories, their imagination; in the qualities they demanded of their citizens; in the things they lived and fought and died for.

>To know them is to know ourselves.

>What blossomed here in this place was the Western desire to uncover all that ignorance, darkness, and distance had kept hidden from the mind of man. The Greeks did not just shape history; the Greeks gave us history itself. Much about – much of what we know about many ancient civilizations comes almost entirely from the records of Greek explorers and historians, explorers and historians who didn’t just chronicle the histories of their own people, but ventured outwards to observe and record the sagas of foreign peoples and cultures all across the world.

<Where others looked inward, the Greeks were the first to direct their focus outward, to chase the thrill and glory of seeing all that was strange and new. It was this trait – it was this trait that would push the West to create and build things that others could not, marking us out from so many other cultures and civilizations where stability and subsistence were the highest ends of life.
Almost seems a veiled insult at Eastern mysticism, including Christianity.

>But it is not just the ambition to explore the unknown that we inherit from the Greeks; it is the conviction that the unknown can be known. The confidence that the world can be charted and measured and mapped and understood – and that there is a rational order to the cosmos, governed by certain fundamental laws, laws that men can observe and the mind can come to understand.

>This was the foundation of the Western mind: our math, our science, our medicine. Our philosophy, ethics, and religion. It paved the way for the gospel of Jesus Christ to find fertile soil in Europe and flourish into the empire of Christendom. It was the foundation of the riches of Christian theology – of Augustine and Aquinas and the whole tradition of natural law.
See what I mean about the random asides to "and later they became Christians." At best he's kind of going: and Euros turned that shitty Jesus gospel into some based Euro shit.

>It gave birth to a civilization marked not just by a common culture, it was marked by a common anthropology – a common view of man and his place in the universe. Its descendants would share not just the idea of a natural order, but a distinctive understanding of virtue; of destiny and fate; of truth, goodness, and beauty; of a code that dictates how men ought to live; of objective standards and ideals to strive towards.

Acting National Police Commissioner Puleng Dimpane says lawlessness will not be tolerated amid violent protests in Durban and Soweto. Dimpane was speaking in Soweto, where she visited the scene of protests that took place earlier on Thursday. She says crime intelligence and the SAPS will be working through the night to ensure that those responsible for the violence are apprehended. She has urged those who have concerns to follow the right channels.

Kurdish farmers face legal pressure over disputed lands in Khurmatu
Kurdish farmers in the disputed Khurmatu district in Iraq's Salahaddin province say they are facing legal pressure over more than 2,000 dunams of farmland after Arab settlers filed lawsuits seeking to take control of the lands based on agricultural contracts dating back to the former Ba'ath regime. The land lies between the Kurdish-majority Tapa Sawa area and the Arab-populated Haliwa village in Salahaddin province.

Gaza war sped up India’s shift towards Israel under Modi
As Israel was conducting its genocidal war on Gaza, bombing and killing dozens on the very days he was visiting India, New Delhi was ready to expand business with Israel like never before. For decades, India had been one of the world’s staunchest supporters of Palestine, and Europe one of Israel’s closest backers. India’s position has shifted firmly since 2014, when Modi and his Hindu majoritarian Bharatiya Janata Party came to power. But analysts say the optics of Smotrich’s visit underlined something even more dramatic: At a time when even Europe, traditionally seen as backing Israel, has veered away from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, the genocidal war on Gaza appears to have escalated India’s embrace of Israel.

middle-class retirees re-entering the workforce

they're like the worst employees you could ever imagine, worse than any apathetic stoned teenager because at least the teenager doesn't have delusions of seniority or experience or a complete inability to accept criticism or admit to making a mistake, at least they can be trained. but the boomers and karens are unreformable, they complain and exude indignation and misery out of every orifice and destroy employee morale, they do things the wrong way and they get belligerent and defensive when you try to show them how to do them the right way, they get irritated with busy shifts and lines and impatient customers and they show their irritation very publicly, they gossip about co-workers and discuss politics and religion and create drama, they speak condescendingly to co-workers and customers and even managers, it's unbelievable. it's like a paroled convict who was in prison for decades and has no idea how to re-enter normal society. and when you are forced to finally reprimand them, they have a fucking emotional breakdown.

i was dealing with a recent hire who was like this, and one day i noticed that she was burning through rolls of paper towels at several times the rate of any other worker wadding up huge balls of paper towels and wiping stuff down and throwing it away and grabbing another, so i kind of pulled her aside so as not to embarrass her and explained to her how to take one paper towel and fold it twice to make four surfaces and use one surface until it gets dirty, then use another, etc. she became indignant and said "sweetie, i've been cleaning up after four kids for 20 years i know how to use a paper towel." i told her, "first of all, i'm trying to help you, i'm trying to show you how to do the job right, i'm trying to make your job easier. second, this is work, this isn't your house, and you are a brand new employee here. don't talk to me or anyone else here that way. don't call me 'sweetie' and don't get an attitude with me. you do it again, you're gone. do you understand?" she started crying. she cried about it for the rest of the day and then the next day she never showed up for work, no call no show. someone had to come in and pull a double to cover for her. and i didn't even get a chance to confront her about all the other shit she was doing wrong.

i felt guilty about it, which makes me even more annoyed when i really think about it because i shouldn't feel guilty just for expecting a perfectly healthy able-bodied adult to listen and follow basic directions and not behave like an entitled spoiled brat at work. i understand that your hero donald trump betrayed you and destroyed the economy and your security and i understand how humiliating it must feel to be a suburban middle-class retiree for years and then suddenly be reduced to the lowly task of wiping down tables and ringing up customers, but you know what? too bad.

Leftcoms, how would you address Halloway?

>The tradition of ‘scientific Marxism’ is blind to the issue of fetishism. If fetishism is taken as a starting point, then the concept of science can only be negative, critical and self-critical. If social relations exist in the form of relations between things, it is impossible to say ‘I have knowledge of reality’, simply because the categories through which one apprehends reality are historically specific categories which are part of that reality. We can proceed only by criticising, by criticising the reality and the categories through which we apprehend that reality. Criticism inevitably means self-criticism.

>In the tradition of scientific Marxism, criticism does not play a central role. Certainly there is criticism in the sense of denunciation of the evils of capitalism; but there is no criticism in the sense of the genetic criticism of identity. To be blind to fetishism is to take fetishised categories at face value, to take fetishised categories without question into one’s own thought. Nowhere has this been more disastrous in the tradition of orthodox Marxism than in the assumption that the state could be seen as the centre point of social power. A Marxism that is blind to the question of fetishism is inevitably a fetishised Marxism.[11]

>The core of orthodox Marxism is the attempt to enlist certainty on our side. This attempt is fundamentally misconceived: certainty can only be on the other side, the side of domination. Our struggle is inherently and profoundly uncertain. This is so because certainty is conceivable only on the basis of the reification of social relations. It is possible to speak of the ‘laws of motion’ of society only to the extent that social relations take the form of relations between things.[12] Non-fetishised, self-determining social relations would not be law-bound. The understanding of capitalist society as being bound by laws is valid to the extent, but only to the extent, that relations between people really are thing-ified. If we argue that capitalism can be understood completely through the analysis of its laws of motion, then we say at the same time that social relations are completely fetishised. But if social relations are completely fetishised, how can we conceive of revolution? Revolutionary change cannot possibly be conceived as following a path of certainty, because certainty is the very negation of revolutionary change. Our struggle is a struggle against reification and therefore against certainty.

>The great attraction of orthodox Marxism remains its simplicity. It provided an answer to the revolutionary dilemma: a wrong answer, but at least it was an answer. It guided the revolutionary movement to great conquests that, in the end of the day, were not conquests at all, but dreadful defeats. If, however, we abandon the comforting certainties of orthodoxy, what are we left with? Is our scream not then reduced to the childishly naïve and self-deceptive appeal to the idea of justice, do we not return, as Luxemburg mockingly warned, ‘to that lamentable Rosinante on which the Don Quixotes of history have galloped towards the great reform of the earth, always to come home with their eyes blackened'? No, we do not. We return, rather, to the concept of revolution as a question, not as an answer.

Freezing sperm

I had to wake up today at 6:00 AM and got ready to get to the clinic, pretty nice but i felt forced to look like i didn't got there from the ghetto…

got to sign some documents, they took my ID and i paid for the tests, a while in i got called for getting my blood drawn, the usual at this point; they got 2 tubes of blood and had me in for some questions regarding my medical background, after that i was taken to the "sample room" which was basically like a sink, a chair and a TV.

so i did some hand washing and such and i had downloaded a bunch of stuff in my phone yesterday, the whole time feeling like i'd just burst and ruin the 3-5 days abstinence recommended.

but i had already washed my hands and i don't think washing my phone be viable + i'd have to hold my phone as well as the sample cup and everything?

so i just used the TV with the USB which was kinda slow so i just kinda did a faproulette with it and actually seeing the sample size i got scared it'd be too small but it was just about 0.2ml short according to the doctors; besides that the sample was very good and i'll be able to freeze from 2 to 4 vials with a doctor's recommendation and go back on estrogen hopefully by next month.

overall everything is going fine which is scary because whenever things are going fine i get this feeling of calm before the storm.

nature of belief

Recently I've been thinking about why people believe in things, why they act or think in one way or the other. I am now leaning towards "people believe in X or Y to justify killing people".

I really hate to be a doomer or use my fee-fees for opinions but all the drama on twitter, all the bullshit i see on the internet or irl is getting to me

I spent a bit reading up on people's opinions, on some historical massacres, the genocides in sudan, palestine, the cultural revolution and the blood spilled there, the horrible crimes committed in the name of capital or communism or liberation or fascism and I think I understand a bit more about people now.

My dad and I often argue about one thing or another - and i love the man, but he is stubborn and old - and one of those arguments was about empathy. I argued that it is intrinsic, and not just a learned behavior. He argued against it, and now I think he was right

People dont *really* care about achieving a political goal (tho some do). What they care about is justifying their behavior. And most people are crude, violent apes, who behave accordingly. In every age people thought they were the enlightened Modern Man - free of the barbarity of the past. They thought that as they murdered their neighbours, raped children and whatever. So many people just want a group they can hate - whether its brown people, trans people, jews, women, atheists, muslims. Anyone who isnt you, basically.

Doesnt matter which political belief, doesnt matter who or what you are, doesnt matter where or when you live. Most people just want an US and a THEM, and the more of THEM that are subject to violence the better.

How can i begin believing in humanity again when hate mobs kill transhumanists like me, when soldiers murder, steal and rape all over the globe, when people all around the world justify the deaths of innocent people because of how or where they were born?

Why is it so hard for people to see others as people?

Why do Israeli Jews hate Poland so much? (real long answers please, no derailing)

Not only Israeli Jews, I noticed Zionists living in a lot of countries antagonizing Poland and Poles as well. Just because Poland talks about being victimized by Nazi Germany, Ukrainian UPA, Russian Soviets, Zionists always seem to want to suppress this knowledge, even about the existence of KL Warschau (which existed in my opinion). Jews want us not to have great positions in this society, they would degrade us into criminal status, using DARVO technique as well. What motivates them to be extremely hostile against Poland like that? I'm even leftist, I believe in women's rights and they hate me for being Polish. I wonder why. How is Gaza, I'm asking right now? Why aren't those people given any chance? So many questions at once. I have an impression that antipolonism is even promoted on social media and Tucker Carlson blamed us for the WWII as well. I think Putin is a Zionist pig as well and Russia is controlled by Israelis. Same with Ukraine, but they are more Nazi. Any explanation why does it happen to Poland? We are bombarded with Polish jokes as well and Polish sense of humor is interpret as a legit threat by Israeli-controlled Westerners. Our country is being a scapegoat and Westerners are told "you will end up like Poland if you won't be democratiĉ". Westies ofc are "allies" to us, my ass. Some of you wish upon us war against Russia, too.
Those folks are actually every single reason why I hate the West as a Pole and I don't want to have anything in common with it. I'm risking being called a Russian onuca with this attitude. But I prefer my own happiness than being constantly guilt-tripped by the Western powers for the crimes we the Polish people have never committed. I used to be philosemitic, because I was taught like that at school, forced to this or else I would face the consequences of "lawlessness", now I think that they don't like us.
During PRL at least there wasn't that craziness for Zionist America like now.

Let's see if you agree with me, people.

I've come to the conclusion that race, gender and sexuality, in this order, are core identities in humanity and many others if not exactly derived, are strictly related to it.

Origin/nationality, culture and social class are REALLY important but have a social, less inherent condition to these more physical, intrinsic qualities I listed.

A working person will always have a race, gender and sexuality, this unifies everyone but also divides people, and a corporeal human being will always make part of a social class depending on his or her place in society.

Left and right are the two main political divisions, from which all others are related somehow. It has to do with progress, equality vs. hierarchy, property, economic intervention and societal roles in general.

Furthermore: politics, science, religion, art and philosophy are the main social and cultural expressions of humanity. These are the ways we organize, understand and express our existence in reality.

Economics is important, but it is more like the "matrix" where things happen.

All these things are related in a complex, conflictuous, changing and multipolar/multidimensional reality.

We know we are all one in some sense, but separated individually still being more or less part of the whole in a way, fighting for social issues and material needs.

Not sure what I am talking about anymore.

The fact is, I don't see material reality separated from social constructs, they always interact amd it is hard to determine like a perfect map of humanity or society.

This is more or less how I see the world.

How you guys think a marxist overview about my vision would be? I understand some marxism, but I am not an orthodox person, I think we should come up with better and more complex explanations without losing grip of the essentials, if you understand me.

Picture slightly unrelated.

Is everyone bisexual?

Why do some people seem to believe that everyone is innately bisexual? I've seen this claim every now and then online, and apparently some prominent bisexuals (e.g. Gore Vidal, Billie Joe Armstrong) believe(d) it. I've even heard it twice IRL; the second time, a lesbian acquaintance of mine said something along the lines of "I'm gay enough that I know straight people aren't lying about being straight", which I concurred with in my head (although I said nothing). Personally, I'm a gay guy, or at least that's what I call myself, but there have been a few rare instances where I briefly wondered whether I actually am attracted to women, only minimally and/or while repressing it, and although I have always ultimately concluded that I am just gay, it does make me think about the idea that everyone is actually just at some point or another on a spectrum of bisexuality. That being said, it still seems highly improbable to me. What are your thoughts?

If Marxism were an objective, scientific theory, then any fat autistic person should be able to develop it. Why did Engels specifically financially support and commission Marx to develop the theory of scientific socialism when there were very likely far more competent developers? These more competent developers had no financial incentive to invest the effort in developing a theory of scientific socialism. And now we're stuck with Marx's mediocre work when we could have something much better.

Economic Democracy

Here is an excellent article from Jacobin magazine:

>Inside the workplace your boss rules like a dictator, dictating the pace, the discipline, and how the fruits of labor are distributed. The core message of the text is that there can be no socialism without workers full control over the means of production and workplace democracy.

>The authors (Beggs, Burgis & Sunkara) dismantle the myth of the efficiency of authoritarian management. Empirical evidence shows that worker-managed enterprises are at least as productive, and often more resilient, than traditional capitalist firms.

>Workplace democracy reduces alienation, commits workers to shared goals, and gives decision-making power to those who know the production process best; the workers themselves.

Fuck intersectionality

I keep seeing "communists" talk in favour of intersectionality when it is just pure liberalism. Intersectionality is not compatible with Marxism, because for Marxists class is the primary contradiction (anti-imperialism is also class struggle). Radical feminism and queer liberation are both liberal rubbish as well (speaking as a trans woman). Proletarian feminism and the erosion of sex through socialist technology are the real ways to solve these problems, not bourgeois radicalism.

"Magical thinking" is the number 1 problem in the world

When using material analysis the contradictions of capital become obvious. Anyone who is grounded in reality can understand the problem. The unfortunate part however is that very few people are actually living in reality. The vast majority have "magical thinking", this commonly manifests in religious delusions but it can take on many other forms.
Examples would be unproven conspiracy theories (eg flat earth), counter-productive diet advice (eg raw milk), or even believing common myths.
I think all humans have a tendency towards irrationality and in order to avoid magical thinking you must have self-awareness. The kind of self-awareness that makes you constantly question yourself and your beliefs and seek out counter-arguments out of your own volition. This is the most important part.

Every single bad idea that sticks around despite being disproved relies on this thought process to become immortal. I'll use a creationist as an example. Here's the sample thought process.
>The bible is true
>Evolution must be false
>"ChatGPT give me arguments against evolution"
This hypothetical person starts off with a conclusion and researches backwards in order to justify it. When you're using this lens to form an argument you will never find the truth no matter how much evidence you are shown.

This is basically just a drawn out way of saying the average person is insanely stupid. How do we re-educate the masses?

US military aid to Israel continues three years into Gaza genocide
To date, at least 74,243 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel, which killed at least 1,139 people. At least 1,460 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the October 11, 2025 ceasefire went into effect as Israel has continued to expand its area of control. “The bottom line is that under both the Biden administration and the Trump administration, the US has continued to provide unconditional support for Israel, both in terms of finances, arms transfers and other forms, such as diplomatic support,” according to former Department of State official Josh Paul, who now runs A New Policy lobbying firm.

Turkey to deploy troops and air defence systems to Saudi Arabia amid Houthi attacks
Two Turkish officials familiar with Ankara's plans told MEE that Turkey had maintained technical teams, air defence systems and electronic warfare equipment in the kingdom since last year to protect critical infrastructure, including energy facilities. One senior Turkish official said Ankara would send additional equipment, technicians, emergency response teams and accompanying combat forces. The official said a 2010 military training agreement between Saudi Arabia and Turkey allows Ankara to deploy limited forces to the kingdom for technical purposes. Further deployments, however, would require parliamentary authorisation under the Turkish constitution.

Lula campaign scrambles to rebrand before Brazil runoff
At the meeting, Lula pushed what is being dubbed internally the "fear strategy" to remind voters of the risks a Bolsonaro presidency he says would ⁠pose to popular social benefits. People close to the campaign say Lula blames the messaging for failing to reach enough young people and women. Some party figures point to Lula's social communications minister, Sidonio Palmeira, whose business partner Raul Rebelo runs the campaign's messaging, for pushing less accessible themes like sovereignty and critical minerals. One TV campaign advert was devoted entirely to rare earths.

Germany’s former foreign intelligence chief arrested on suspicion of espionage and attempted treason
Hanning, 80, was arrested in Bad Toelz-Wolfratshausen in southern Germany. A former aide, identified as Manfred D., was also arrested Tuesday in Steinfurt in western Germany and has been charged with aiding and abetting attempted treason and treasonous espionage. “In one instance, there is suspicion that Mr. Hanning used classified information to prepare an analysis for an employee of a foreign intelligence service,” Ines Peterson, a spokesperson for the federal prosecutor’s office, told German broadcaster RTL.

AfD wins state parliament speakership in Saxony-Anhalt with far-left backing
The far-left Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht, or BSW, party had promised to support Rausch, citing the convention that the largest parliamentary faction gets the presidency. The move drew criticism from opponents and protesters, who said it helped normalize the AfD; domestic intelligence officials have classified the Saxony-Anhalt branch of the party as confirmed extremist.

‘Army use of child a violation of int’l humanitarian law’
In a deleted post, the 93rd Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army published photos of a seven-year-old child with personal details under the pretext of a “birthday party” celebration to urge their NPA mother to surrender. The Philippines is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions and is obligated to follow the rules of war under IHL. “Children shall be the object of special respect and shall be protected against any form of indecent assault.

Supporters of Imran Khan start march on locked-down Islamabad
The government had gone to extreme lengths to try to stop PTI holding the long march, including shutting down Islamabad and barricading the capital’s entrances with shipping containers and sandbags. Khan’s three sisters were among those detained last week on grounds of national security. Two rounds of negotiations between the government and PTI leaders took place over the weekend but broke down when Khan’s allies insisted that he be part of political talks.

Hungry and in a fucked up situation

I'm ashamed to post this but push came to shove and my situation is desperate. I wanted to give me and my mother a bit of happiness.

I'm 29 and live with my 68yo mother in a 25m rented apartment. I also take care of three kittens. Both me and my mother have serious health issues that make it impossible for us to work. My mother receives disability benefits in Greece but I was assessed at 60%(you need 67%) and I don't get shit. Currently trying to appeal this.

Because of this, we live in extreme poverty. For more than half of this month we’ve basically been surviving on plain pasta with sauce.

I'm asking for a very small donation so we can finally order a couple of meals and eat something different for the next few days. Food in Greece is relatively cheap so only a small tip will suffice.

I understand people might be skeptical but I can provide proof about our living conditions and also post the food ordered. If someone is from Greece, they can order themselves for us if they want.

If anyone reads this and wants to help, it will be greatly appreciated.

The Rise of Pentacostal Evangelism in Latin America - especially Brazil

I think this is a really concerning development if you haven't noticed this by now, especially considering the election in Brazil, where almost every evangelical voted for Bolsonaro, and almost every catholic for Lula.

This sudden explosion in hyper-reactionary evangelism in Latin America (even more reactionary than Brazilian integralism) seems not entirely organic. Liberation theology was always a thorn in the side of the US aspirations on the continent, and none of the communist leaders in Latin America was an atheist (I am not sure about Che). Countering this with evangelical influence is something the CIA has tried for a long time, but this time a lot of the money these communities seem to receive comes from private American Christian think tanks.

I live in Germany and the liberal party (FDP) here has opened some "liberal house" near the train station - on Sunday, I noticed, it is rented out to a Brazilian pentacostal evangelist community, so it seems that there is an international network behind it as well.

One of the hallmarks is their ultra-zionism, which makes sense, as a lot of Latin American governments used to support Palestine, even the right-wing Catholic ones. Guatemala was hit especially hard, and the indigenous there already survived an US-backed genocide.

Take the Brazilian football team, they used to be entirely Catholic when they won their last World Cup in 2002. Now it's dominated by evangelicals, who also appear as "Christian incluencers" off the pitch, and they all support Bolsonaro. Same in Colombia.

Overhaul English NAO!!!

>Simplified Chinese was officially introduced by the government of the People's Republic of China in the 1950s as part of a broader effort to increase literacy and modernize the country. The reform reduced the number of strokes in many commonly used characters and standardized certain character forms, making them easier and faster to learn and write. Although the government promoted the reform, it drew on simplification practices and proposals that had existed for centuries. The primary goal was to help expand education and enable more people, especially those with limited access to schooling, to become literate. Simplified Chinese is now the standard writing system in China and Singapore, while Traditional Chinese remains in use in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.

Monogamy and heterosexuality are inherently reactionary

Monogamy is a construct created by patriarchy to impose control on and basically own other people. Be reminded that not so long ago, women were considered their parents or husbands' property in the literal sense, and the way most men act regarding their girlfriends/wives is still extremely possessive to this day. You aren't allowed to love other people. The way the dating world operates in the modern day is out of control in the most part thanks to this.
The structure of "family", which stems from monogamy is also a putrid system. Children are left to the mercy of their parents, who can abuse them all they want with no repercussion (parents essentially own their kids in a literal slave way) and any rejection to this system is seen as unforgivable. Seeing people as more worthy of your time, love or attention simply because they are related by blood to you is a completely anti-human mindset. All working people of humanity must unite in one big family.
In a communist society all work is collectivized, his includes childcare. There is absolutely no reason to leave such an important job in the hands of just two people (sometimes just one), it must be done by the entire community. There would also be trained specialists who work full time on nursing children.
I don't understand why many self-proclaimed communists have a problem with this. No, you do not own your offspring just because you birthed it. Much less if you just fertilized the egg of the person who did. They are a human being with their own autonomy.
This is the biggest obstacle to abolishing monogamy. Once people (specially women) are free from the burden of exclusively raising children and looking for a provider, they will finally enjoy a free sexual life.
The only real downside of being non-monogamous is it increases the risk of STDs, but what increases the risk even more is having poor hygene and not using preventive measures. And if humanity erradicated smallpox and polio, so can we erradicate STDs.
Speaking of sexual life, heteronormativity and dare I say heterosexuality in the first place is also a product of patriarchy, and I have reason to believe most if not all people would be bisexual if it wasn't for religious brainwashing and peer pressure. Men are anatomically built to enjoy taking stuff up their butt, the only reason most men don't enjoy gay sex is because they think it's immoral. Having intimacy with multople people regardless of gender strengthens bonds between members of a community Ancient humans were probably having tons of gay and lesbian sex with no one to shame them for it. Human beings are beautiful regardless of gender, and without the taboo that comes with it most people would be fucking men and women alike (of course there would still be people who don't like having sex at all, and that's okay, but refusing to be intimate with someone just because they are a certain sex is the result of religious brainwashing).
If you oppose sexual liberation and the abolition of family, you are a reactionary.

<TWO SOURCE COSMOGONY: The One was and was-not, combined, and desired to separate the was-not from the was. So it generated a diploid sac which contained, like auyghshell, a pair of twins, each an androgyny, spinning in opposite directions (the Yin and Yang of Taoism, with the One as the Tao). The plan of the One was that both twins would emerge into being (was-ness) simultaneously; however, motivated by a desire to be (which the One implanted in both twins), the counter-clockwise twin broke through the sac and separated prematurely; i.e. before full term. This was the dark or Yin twin. Therefore it was defective. At full term the wiser twin emerged. Each twin formed a unitary entelechy, a single living organism made of psyche and soma, still rotating in opposite directions to each other. The full term twin, called Form I by Parmenides, advanced correctly through its growth stages, but the prematurely born twin, called Form II, languished.

<The next step in the One's plan was that the Two would become the Many, through their dialetic interaction. From them as hyperuniverses they projected a hologram-like interface, which is the pluriform universe we creatures inhabit. The two sources were to intermingle equally in maintaining our universe, but Form II continued to languish toward illness, madness and disorder. These aspects she projected into our universe.

<It was the One's purpose for our hologramatic universe to serve as a teaching instrument by which a variety of new lives advanced until ultimately they would be isomorphic with the One. However, the decaying condition of hyperuniverse II introduced malfactors which damaged our hologramatic universe. This is the origin of entropy, undeserved suffering, chaos and death, as well as the Empire, the Black Iron Prison; in essence, the aborting of the proper health and growth of the life forms within the hologramatic universe. Also, the teaching function was grossly impaired, since only the signal from the hyperuniverse I was information-rich; that form II had become noise.

<The psyche of hyperuniverse I sent a micro-form of itself into hyperuniverse II to attempt to heal it. The micro-form was apparent in our hologramatic universe as Jesus Christ. However, hyperuniverse II, being deranged, at once tormented, humiliated, rejected and finally killed the micro-form of the healing psyche of her healthy twin. After that, hyperuniverse II continued to decay into blind, mechanical, purposeless causal processes. It then became the task of Christ (more properly the Holy Spirit) to either rescue the life forms in the hologramatic universe, or abolish all influences on it emanating from II. Approaching its task with caution, it prepared to kill the deranged twin, since she cannot be healed; i.e. she will not allow herself to be healed because she does not not understand that she is sick. This illness and madness pervades us and makes us idiots living in private, unreal worlds. The original plan of the One can only be realized now by the division of hyperuniverse I into two healthy hyperuniverses, which will transform the hologramatic universe into the successfull teaching machine it was designed to be. We will experience this as the 'Kingdom of God.'

<Within time, hyperuniverse II remains alive: 'The Empire never ended.' But in eternity, where the hyperuniverses exist, she has been killed – of necessity – by the healthy twin of hyperuniverse I, who is our champion. The One grieves for this death, since the One loved both twins; therefore the information of the Mind consists of a tragic tale of the death of a woman, the undertones of which generate anguish into all the creatures of the hologrammatic universe without their knowing why. This grief will depart when the healthy twin undergoes mitosis and the 'Kingdom of God' arrives. The machinery for this transformation – the procession within time from the Age of Iron to the Age of Gold – is at work now; in eternity it is already accomplished.

That is why, Sancho, it is necessary among gentlemen, that we should be open to their privations, love them, take care of them like the apple of your eye, because our world without them, there is no doubt, would be completely and irretrievably lost, because, Sancho, they are the force of life and the engine that drives our existence."

The accusations were partly published on the social media pages of the president, who accused Acuña of being “a person who, like you, faces 13 corruption charges, has a video in which he explains how to embezzle funds from the PAE, and, on top of that, is set to stand trial in the Supreme Court of Justice on charges of illicit enrichment.”

Alckmin, a veteran centrist, unsuccessfully challenged Lula for the presidency in 2006 and has served two terms ⁠as governor of Sao Paulo. He also ran Lula's Development, Industry and Trade Ministry until earlier this year, making him a key interlocutor with Washington since the US imposed sweeping tariffs on Brazilian goods. Alckmin is widely considered a moderating force in Lula's government, with strong ties to the business community, although critics say his influence has been overshadowed in Lula's current term by policies widely seen as tilting to the left.

The 15-year-old was seriously injured in the northern city of Lens on Monday. Unverified police reports said that he had picked up a stun grenade. France had said it would close up to 500 schools as demonstrations over understaffed and rundown schools entered a third week. Critics have called for the authorities to temper their response to the protests amid claims of disproportionate police force being used against minors.

As previously announced by Taylor, the number of new arrivals will be linked to housing completions in Australia.
