/MENA/#1

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.

This will be the inaugural edition to see how it goes. Welcome!

FREE ERIK HOUDINI

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

Remember: No doomers. Uplift. Struggle."

Any thoughts on the possibility of Paramount owning WB?

If WB is going to be sold to some megacorporation, I would have preferred Netflix. Lesser of two evils.

Would theaters have died off because of the Netflix/WB deal? I don't know and I don't care.

Tariffs and currency controls/devaluations and capital controls are all good things. They help in bringing back manufacturing and reversing the deindustrialization of the West that has been the biggest cause of decline in working class standard of living.

The period of 1970s-2020s which was characterized by outsourcing, deindustrialization, financialization, and mass immigration are coming to an end, and the working class will be the biggest beneficiary of this.

The workers in 3rd world countries will benefit as well, as they will be forced by Western protectionism to adopt their own protectionist policies, leading to greater worldwide industrialization and increase in sovereignty.

Therefore, opposing Trump is historically regressive, anti-communist, and anti-worker.

Dandadan - best new shonen, or overrated zoomer garbage?

Personally I'm enjoying it despite almost dropping it in episode 1 due to portrated sexual violence. A side question is to anyone who reads the manga, is it worth the time for somebody who isnt a huge manga reader and usually only reads the manga of my absolute favourite anime?

Good news

Capitalism will end in a few decades.
I concluded this by playing a flash game called Oiligarchy which you should play for yourself and see the eco ending:
https://armorgames.com/play/2607/oiligarchy (Original)
https://www.hackedfreegames.com/game/3195/oiligarchy (Hacked/Cheats)

and by searching "when will the world run out of oil" on Google, which said:
<Based on current consumption rates and known reserves, the world is estimated to run out of economically accessible oil in approximately 50 years, or around 2052–2060.

And I once read this guy called Reza Negristani who wrote a book (Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials) about how oil is capitalism and its sentient, like he was saying capitalism needs oil, also the west runs on oil and its obviously important to them. Lots of guys like Michael Parenti and Jacques Derrida and whatnot wrote big books on how the west invades for oil, fights for oil and like is living because of oil and stuff.

So yeah, there won't be an ecological collapse / doomsday. West should fall soon. Unless they use nukes for M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) like in one of the game endings.

To address some concerns:
>We're already past the point of no return, this ecological damage is irreversible, we're fucked.
No I'm pretty sure not, but if we are its like… why aren't you doing whatever you want if its your final days? Go.
>This is just a bunch of incomprehensible stringed together info, you're getting your source from a videogame?
A flash game actually, and yes, because it is very accurate and whoever made it is probably a genius. We should try to reach out to the studio that made it, see if the guys are still alive, its like decades old by now, you should be treating it like one of those old big books by smart guys you like so much because they're old and that means experienced with ancient wisdom even if you don't admit that's what you actually think.
>The west will adapt and become more eco friendly bourgeois like in the ending.
NO, they shouldin't, its like the math I did - they run out of oil = their economy collapses = farewell west.
>The game is libcoded, dems are shown as "good eco friendly bourgeois"
So what? You don't understand the rest of the truth in the game. You are truthless.

<Oiligarchy is a 2008 satirical browser-based strategy game created by Molleindustria that critiques the influence of the oil industry on politics and foreign policy. Players manage an oil corporation, drilling for resources, bribing politicians, and influencing elections to maintain a fossil-fuel-dependent economy until resources deplete.

https://www.molleindustria.org/
They made other games, I gotta check them out, they have truth.

Just because something is simple and common sense doesn't mean its not true, in fact truth is in plain sight where you're not looking. "It can't be that simple" - but I'M PRETTY SURE it is.
So, just return to being normal? Stop worrying or caring so much, goo goo gaga yourselves, things will just sort themselves out.

Also if you're in the west (especially America, Western Europe, Anglophone nations) you should move out, things might become chaotic.

On "Democracy" Vs. "Resistance"

There is an unspoken agreement between US and Iran to maintain the delicate balance of power in the region.

Losing Islamist Iran period means losing Iraq to a power vacuum.

Losing Islamist Iran to communists is doomsday scenario for capitalists, the resource rich region is filled with unpopular regimes and immiserated workers. Iran and Iraq (the most susceptible for revolution) alone make up a quarter of the world oil supply. The stakes are too high to allow an unpredictable mass movement (that cannot be entirely controlled) to overthrow the regime.

Iran poses zero threat to western imperialism, in fact in places like Iraq and Lebanon it is the lever that is maintaining it. Decades of wheeling and dealing through backchannels have exposed this myth for what it is - a false dichotomy that sets the ideological framework for US and Iranian imperialism in the region, so-called "Axis of Resistance" and "Forces of Order"

Does this mean they're in agreement on everything and Iran is secretly run by da juice? Of course not, that's conspiratorial and Kautskyist nonsense. They're united in so far as their class interests meet, mostly in suppressing workers and maintaining the status quo.

Will this last forever? No, eventually a war will break out due to capital's growing contradictions and the need to counter overproduction through destruction. The region and the world broadly have yet to fall into designated camps for such event to happen, that will spark the a third global imperialist war.

Don't fall into this false dichotomy, or prepare to be disappointed. Learn from the communist parties in the region who have reached this conclusion.

No war but class war

Decolonizing Socialism is a MUST

The classical Marxist schema wherein the industrial proletariat forms the decisive vanguard of socialist revolution must be ruthlessly interrogated and superseded when confronted with the objective reality of advanced settler colonialism, parasitic racist imperialism, and the labor aristocracy that binds large swathes of the so-called "working class" to the reproduction of empire.

The settler working class in America which are predominantly white, but including layers of assimilated non-white labor is not, and cannot be, the leading revolutionary subject in the imperial core. This is not moralism or identity politics; it is materialist analysis rooted in the global division of labor, superprofits extracted from the Third World (and internal colonies), and the bribe of relative privilege that turns potential revolutionary classes into social chauvinists or passive beneficiaries of genocide and plunder.

First, we must consider the structure of imperialism as analyzed through a MLM lens informed by dependency/world-systems insights and the theory of the labor aristocracy. The U.S. is the primary pole of the First World empire, a non-productive, consumption-heavy formation sustained by the superexploitation of the global South and the ongoing primitive accumulation against internal colonies (New Afrika/Black nation, occupied Turtle Island/Indigenous nations, occupied Aztlán, etc.). The "wages" of American workers are not merely the fruit of their labor but a redistributed share of imperialist superprofits via crumbs, cheap commodities, home ownership on stolen land, and the ideological bribe of white supremacy/nationalist chauvinism. This creates a clear labor aristocracy whose immediate material interests align more with preserving the imperialist system than overthrowing it. The "white working class" is not exploited in the classical sense that drives revolutionary consciousness; it is co-opted, bought off, and invested in settler-colonial continuity.

Historical evidence abounds from the 1877 railroad strikes through the New Deal labor accords to the post-WWII suburban boom and deindustrialization's selective pain, white workers have repeatedly sided with empire against colonized peoples (e.g., anti-Black pogroms, support for wars of aggression, rejection of reparations or land return). Even in moments of economic distress, reactionary populism and fascist-adjacent MAGA-ism or its left variants tends to dominate rather than proper proletarian internationalism. The classical vanguard role is foreclosed by this structural reality.

In contrast, the colonized masses; New Afrikans (Black people forged in chattel slavery and ongoing national oppression), Indigenous peoples (facing ongoing genocide and land theft), and other internal colonies all remain the principal revolutionary subjects. Their exploitation is not merely economic but existential, national oppression fused with class domination, where the "wage" is survival under carceral colonial terror, environmental racism, and cultural erasure. For them, the contradiction with imperialism is antagonistic and irreconcilable within the existing order. Land, self-determination, and abolition of the settler state are not reforms but preconditions for any genuine socialism.

This necessitates a non-traditional approach to socialism and production. The path forward is not the seizure of production factories by a mythical industrial proletariat but protracted people's war adapted to settler conditions; building dual power in the internal colonies, encircling the beast from within, and forging alliances on the basis of national liberation as the gateway to proletarian internationalism. Production under socialism here cannot mimic Eurocentric models of communist insurrection; it must draw from communal Indigenous traditions of stewardship, New Afrikan cooperative practices born of survival, and Maoist mass-line experiments in self-reliance all decolonized, decentralized, ecologically grounded, and hostile to European bureaucratic commandism / workerism.

The distributed vanguard emerges from these oppressed nations because their struggle is the sharpest knife against the imperialist beast. It is they who can most readily grasp the mass line, mobilize the broadest united front against settler hegemony, and sustain protracted struggle without the illusions of electoralism or social-contract peace. The white settler "proletariat" may join as allies through concrete anti-imperialist action, repudiating white-skin privilege, and submitting to the leadership of colonized vanguards but never as the leading force. To insist otherwise is to tail economism and social chauvinism, betraying dialectical materialism.

In short the colonized are the grave-diggers of empire precisely because empire rests on their graves. Any socialism worthy of the name in this settler hell must be anti-colonial at its core, led by those who have nothing to lose but their chains and everything to reclaim; land, dignity, and a future beyond parasitic "prosperity." The task is not to "unite" a bought-off labor aristocracy with the oppressed but to encircle, isolate, and dismantle the settler state from its internal peripheries outward.

Serve the people principally the most oppressed. Long live the national liberation struggles within the belly of the beast! From the dialectic arises the new synthesis, the distributed vanguard fights for decolonized communism or nothing. These approaches happen to instill way more fear in America's power structures than traditional euro socialism, and this is for a reason; ask yourself the last time you heard the FBI panic about the workers reading club, and then go ahead and look into about how just the words "turtle island" make them think "terror".

Freedom of religion was a mistake

This should be the elephant in the room for a lot of people. The reason why Zionist Jews and Mormons have so much power and control over America is because America has freedom of religion. Jewish supremacy and Mormon influence in government and culture are the result of people being allowed to worship freely with zero government oversight. Same reason Evangelicals have so much power in the American South.

SOMETHING has to be done to combat these groups. We need to keep them monitored so they don’t keep political power and are drained of their enormous wealth. But we can’t do that if freedom of religion is allowed. Any socialist group in America needs to address this and call for the full-blown abolition of religious freedom. Shut down every single Zionist synagogue and Mormon and Evangelical “church.” Only allow liberation theology, anti-imperialist Islam and anti-Zionist Judaism. Keep religious places highly monitored by the proletarian state like they do in China. This is the only solution. And if you think not, come up with a better one.

God Building

God Building was a Russian Marxist school of thought that advocated the construction and organization of a religion of socialist humanity rather than the abolition of religion, as defended by a strictly materialist interpretation of Marxism. Its main proponents among the RSDLP were Anatoly Lunacharsky and Vladimir Bazarov , as well as the writers Maxim Gorky and Alexander Bogdanov .

The idea of ​​a religion of humanity was developed by Ludwig Feuerbach . The idea of ​​a Promethean construction of an individual replacing God is present in Nietzsche .

The superimposition of the plane of ideas and experiences, of idealism and materialism, was one of the fundamental theses of the empiriocriticism of Richard Avenarius and Ernst Mach, greatly admired by these Russian thinkers.

The French Revolution and its Cult of Reason and of the Supreme Being provided the example of a religion organized by the State according to the ideals that the latter had set for itself.

Finally, faced with a deeply religious Russian people, the preservation of religion seemed a guarantee of success for a revolution and a new societal project.

In the issue ofMarch 1907In the Mercure de France review , Maxim Gorky defends the position of the God Builders against the atheism of Georgy Plekhanov for whom religions are destined to disappear with the advent of communism.

Anatoly Lunacharsky developed these ideas: already in his first essay, *The Atheist* (1908), he showed that pure materialism inspired a pessimism and passivity that prevented any socialist construction. It was therefore necessary to rouse the people's enthusiasm by emphasizing values ​​of well-being and joy ( naslazhdenie ) and to propose a religion of humanity centered on humankind and progress.

The two volumes of his essay Religion and Socialism (1908) definitively established his doctrine. Religious emotion is paramount and must be redirected to build socialism. People must forge a psychological unity among all individuals, recognizing the sole value of facts and bodies (thus proposing a commandment to love them) and the value of human action. Lunacharsky perceived the religious dimension of the belief in the inevitable advent of the revolution and defined the 1905 revolution itself as the action of the people's religious forces. Christ was not recognized as God, but revered as the foremost of the Communists.

Prayers would be offered to human and national genius, to humanity and progress, and would strengthen the desire to build this future society. The ritual apparatus would be completed by rites, temples and theatres where religious plays would be performed

Political Conversions

Have there been any studies done deconstructing the left-to-right ("Saul-to-Paul") political conversion narrative that the right-wing loves to throw around?

I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson. I'm obviously talking about Americans here but I'm sure you can name plenty of examples from other countries. What psychological factors cause someone to abandon leftism and fully embrace the right, and even worse, turn on their former comrades?

Is it simply the case that they upheld leftism as a dogma, so when their "god" died they found another god? Is it because they were always authoritarian assholes and embraced the right when the right gave them a better outlet for being authoritarian assholes? Was it because they found that the left was moving in a direction they didn't approve of, so they gradually became rightist? Or, using the narrative they themselves most often parrot, they felt "betrayed" by the left so in turn they betrayed the left?

Also, why do we rarely see any prominent right-wingers turning to the left?

MAGA Pedos on Dark Web Plotting against LGBT

I have come across the most insane and disturbing thing. It's a screen recording on I found on another imageboard, buried somewhere deep with no traction or replies, of a deepweb forum called "The Playground".

The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed. And even more disturbingly, it seems these people are in powerful positions, extremely affluent and have a lot of access to power.

The insane thing is that these are the exact people who are spreading the pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies and hysteria, and several right paramilitaries seem to be involved, eg. Oath Keepers (one guy even posts that they were acquitted for January 6th) and Proud Boys, offering human trafficking services on this board.

There is a lot of mention of the MAGA figures, Bondi, Hesgeth and Tulsi Gabbard - in her case there's even a thread ostensibly containing some sort of videos of her. There's talk of Heritage Foundation and their president Jim DeMint. There's mentions of Silicon Valley figures such as Curtis Yarvin, Musk and Sheryl Sandberg (her supposed "personal collection"). There are several references to Orban and trips to Hungary are advertised. This is just scratching the service of everything that can be seen in the screen recording, which was anonymously uploaded to archive.org by a woman that found this page open on her father's computer.

The leak seems pretty recent, dated to March 2025. I did some searches, but I can't find anything else on it, so it must be extremely secretive. It seems that this has gone completely under the radar, so I'm bringing it here for your consideration. And frankly, I'm scared, because I do think it's real. This is too far out there to be fake, I don't think anyone has an imagination wild enough to come up with this.

Here are the links to the screen recordings and screenshots of the board. There's no graphic content in the videos but a lot of graphic discussions.

Frederick 'Hotwheels' Brennan has died before his 32nd birthday

Let me say a few things comrades.

Hotwheel's life began under conditions that reveal a great deal about the cruelty and indifference of our social order. He grew up in foster care, abandoned by his ill parents and lived with a severe congenital disability in a country that treats both poverty and disability as personal misfortunes rather than systemic failures. The fact that he had to carve out survival and meaning through the chaotic frontier of the internet says as much about the absence of collective care as it does about his determination. In a society organized around profit instead of human need, marginalized people often have to invent their own ladders.

At one point in his life, after missing a court date, he was effectively abandoned and left in conditions where he nearly froze to death in plain New York. That episode was not simply personal misfortune. It was another stark example of how the state treats disabled people as disposable, how kafkaesque bureaucratic systems punish noncompliance without regard for physical vulnerability, and how “equal treatment” in a formally neutral system can translate into life-threatening neglect. For disabled and poor people, the margin for error under our legal and social systems is razor thin. His near death in the cold was not an anomaly; it was a symptom.

He became an unlikely culture figure, not because institutions lifted him up, but because he built something that forced the world to notice him. That ascent, from social abandonment to global notoriety, reflects both resilience and the distorted pathways of recognition under digital capitalism.

From a socialist perspective, we also have to confront the material consequences of what he built. 8chan emerged from a libertarian fantasy: that “absolute free speech” detached from structure and accountability could somehow exist outside power. But no platform exists outside material conditions. Infrastructure is political. Ownership is political. The absence of moderation does not produce equality; it produces a vacuum that the most reactionary and violent forces can fill. 8chan became a space where extremism metastasized. That cannot be separated from his legacy.

Yet what makes Brennan’s story significant is that he did not remain frozen in that ideology. Learning Tagalog to try to bridge the contradiction of a disabled Westerner expat being forced to move to poorer country to exploit the exchange and income leverage for their own survival. He moved away from the right-wing milieu that initially embraced him. He became openly critical of neoconservatism, imperial wars, and the cynical manipulation of online communities by reactionary movements. He recognized, in ways that many never do, that “free speech absolutism” without a social analysis can serve the powerful more than the vulnerable.

His later support for Bernie Sanders reflected a shift toward a politics centered on material conditions: healthcare, social safety nets, dignity for working people. For someone who lived with disability, foster care, and precarity and who had nearly died because the system treated him as expendable, that turn carried moral weight. It suggested an understanding that freedom is not merely the absence of moderation; it is the presence of security, healthcare, housing, and collective solidarity.

His resistance to deleting Leftypol is another complicated chapter. On one level, it was consistent with his commitment to viewpoint neutrality. On another, it exposed the limits of a platform model that claimed neutrality while existing within profoundly unequal political terrain. Socialists understand that speech and power are intertwined; formal neutrality does not erase structural dominance. But his refusal to selectively silence left-wing spaces under pressure also showed that his commitment to principle was not purely opportunistic.

Frederick Brennan’s life is a study in how individuals navigate systems larger than themselves. He was shaped by abandonment, by digital libertarianism, by reactionary currents — and he pushed back against each of them at different points. He made mistakes with enormous consequences. He also demonstrated that ideological transformation is possible, even when it means breaking with the communities that once defined you.

From a socialist vantage point, his story underscores two truths: that techno-libertarian fantasies cannot substitute for collective responsibility, and that the state’s treatment of disabled and poor people is often punitive rather than protective. Yet it also affirms something hopeful: that people are not fixed in place by their worst chapters.

His contributions to internet culture and our very own community here on leftypol were undeniable, if fraught. More importantly, his later political evolution pointed toward a deeper insight, that freedom without material justice is hollow, and that dignity requires more than abstract rights. In the end, that recognition may be the most meaningful part of his legacy.

Rest In Peace, Hotwheels.

MARXIST-LENINIST GENERAL
Founder's Edition
Esteemed comrades, revolutionary greetings.
This is a thread for Marxist-Leninist to talk among Marxist-Leninists. By that, we mean actual, real, complete Marxist-Leninists, not those who appropriate the heritage of Marxism-Leninism, but then proceed to denounce Lenin and Stalin from anarchist, left-deviationist and right-deviationist positions. Be not afraid to mercilessly bully the trotskyist, the leftcommunist, the anarchist, the social democrat and all the other saboteurs and lackeys of imperialism.

Epstein & The Alt-Right as a Psyop

the most recent Epstein file drop potentially implicating the creation of /pol/ with moot meeting with Epstein feels like it needs to have its own thread. it's pretty much an accepted fact at this point that Epstein played a key role in what seems to be a massive secret human trafficking ring that exists as a form of Mutually Assured Destruction to for the elites to maintain power, but what is currently a lesser-known and recent revelation is that circumstantial evidence indicating that the entire formation of the far-right was an astroturfing psyop by pedophile billionaires and the intelligence community.

in particular, this thread >>>/lgbt/3094 links even more damning evidence that the astroturfing of far-right politics has been intentionally perpetrated as a psyop to ensure that the Molochian demons in power have access to as many children to rape as possible. pedocon theory is not a meme at this point or even merely an own on the hypocrisy of the far-right; it arguably is a significant factor behind the existence of the far-right today.

while it's bordering on LARP to act like anything serious happens on this site, broadly speaking "the left" and especially leftists familiar with imageboard culture & history should be investigating and agitating more specifically on this matter. the purpose of this thread is to consolidate information on this and to crowdsource more investigative work in the Epstein files specifically on the issue of astroturfing the creation of the alt-right. if you are involved in any real life organizing of any kind you should be spreading this information far and wide for agitprop purposes.

the masses needs to know that there is no civil debate to be had with the right, nor is there even any particularly sophisticated leap in theory and critique one needs to make; the far-right is simply ontologically evil and we should be agitating on them all being controlled by human traffickers as hard as possible.

We need more stories where the villain is never redeemed (at least, not explicitly), but does not die either. Instead the hero makes peace with them, accepts them for the vile assholes they are, and begrudgingly respects them for it once the hero had grown powerful enough to stand up to them and prevent them from hurting innocents (or at least hurting innocents on scale).

The 3rd and 4rd POTC movies had nailed it with their depiction of the relatonship between Jack and Barbossa before the fifth movie had to ruin everything.

The idea that every antagonist should end up either "redeemed" (read - unilaterally and uncritically submit to your notions of morality), either dead is very reactionary actually once you think about it.

/Appalachia/

🧣 Discuss Politics related to the mighty occupied nation of of Appalachia ⛏️
It’s time Leftypol pays more attention to the beautiful land of Appalachia. As an upper Appalachian myself o can say that this is Easily one of the most historically proletarian places in America because the coal miner’s union back in the day bravery fought cops and the national guard, however unfortunately post-red-scare the Appalachian people became surf-brained and got into an Abusive relationship with the Republican Party and conservatism in general. Appalachia has been victim to unequal exchange in what is supposed to be it’s own country, they shut down our steel mills and do nothing but mine our mountains and frack our fields and it doesn’t go to funding our schools, hospitals, or infrastructure, of course this is the case in all of America but especially in Appalachia, it’s basically a neo-colony in its own country. We must help re-radicalize the Appalachian people! Rednecks of the world Unite!

Conspiracy theories

Which ones do you believe in?
Conspiracy theories are so interesting. I love hearing about them, especially if it's weird stuff.
However I dislike how the term conspiracy theory is used to discredit people sometimes. Something that used to be called a conspiracy theory is that companies and government organizations collect as much data as possible about everyone.

I also believe that powerful groups have a lot of control over things like the other anons mentioned.

>Music played on the radio and as it's sold is played at 'dead' frequencies, and the melodies are simple and uninspiring. Buildings are becoming uglier, making for less spiritually enriching surroundings, and creating less pride in the nation. Our food and water has become more unnatural, and our devices are made to hook us and detach us from reality, from spiritual saturation. The media is deliberately uninspiring and creates a sense of doom and dishonesty, and division, and humans are being encouraged into engaging in hedonism to avoid forming long term relationships, and distracting from the spirit with the flesh. Which leaves you empty.

I had a dream

I had to go back to school and my middle school enemies were there making fun of my conetits and my hoodie
so i stopped by a store to buy a tramontina knife which i held in my hand hoping they'd give me a reason to use it.
but then i rembered i forgor my papres and i had to stop to a cyber cafe to print some more, but when i arrived there were trans puppygirls playing Gundam or smn and the owner who was also a puppygirl had a snake with no skin on it's head so it was like just a skull headed snake.
and they said i looked like a school shooter and wanted to run a lie detector with the snake on me because my knife pierced my hoodie and now i had a knife just poking out my hoodie, and i said nothing but the truth but the snake still bit me, so i woke up and now i can't sleep.

The DHS / ICE

Are the current military wing of the bourgeois settler reactionary. Thus they are the biggest direct threat to the revolution and working class and must be treated as such. Any leftist individual or organization that attempts to denounce this fact, no matter how loudly or subtly, should be treated as an enemy of the working-class, and swiftly rejected, denounced or removed. They are agents. The growth of working class power must always be backed by an apparent willingness to defend that power or it's pursuit from any and all reactionary attacks.

There's been lots of speculation around if AI hype will actually materialize into real job displacement but this study from nov 2025 pretty definitetively shows we are in the beginning stages of it. https://digitaleconomy.stanford.edu/app/uploads/2025/11/CanariesintheCoalMine_Nov25.pdf

>Early-career workers

(ages 22-25) in AI-exposed occupations experienced 16% relative employment declines, controlling for firm-level shocks, while employment for experienced workers remained stable

so basically the only group still experiencing headcount growth are mid-career professionals 35+.
22-25 are declining, and 26-34 are stagnating and likely to start declining as well.
And keep in mind publicly available AI only just came out in 2022, and yet this level of displacement has already started, You don't need some futuristic level AGI or something like that, its already happening. This also can't be explained by tarriffs or general business uncertainty as well, because the GDP growth is up 4% and the study controls for firm level shocks. If you're in a white collar profession, especially if entry level, hold onto your job for dear life and hoard savings.

Cuba Flotilla Joint Leftypol Donation

Hi comrades,

I propose we set up a fund, that leftypol can collectively put money into, and then we donate what we raised towards the Nuestra America Flotilla. Comrade Hasan Piker is also participating in the flotilla!

I know that for myself and many comrades Che and Fidel are heroes, it is important if we can help keep alive their legacies, and embrace the idea of the New Socialist Man (or the New Cuban Man) by showing comrades this humanity.

It is also important that the socialist exemplar that is Cuba which had sent many healthcare professional the world over during the Covid Pandemic, continues to show socialist governance as a model to many nations.

I'd advise sometime we set a similar thread for Palestine, I'd recommend 'The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East'.

It is likely best to be discussed here and on our matrix, where details finalised on the leftypol matrix and updates here too, so as to ensure comrades money can properly get sent across. If not, then independent donations can made, relevant links are down below.

So post in this thread to think how we can make this happen and join the matrix!

From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…

Why are western leftist so obsessed with expanding the power of their own imperialist nation-states? Literally everything they do revolves around expanding state power

>muh government healthcare

>muh public housing
>muh government regulations (full of loopholes)

None of this shit builds working class power or benefits the international proletariat. Westerners are all just little statelerites, screeching for more laws and bureaucracies so taxes can go up and their military-industrial complexes can grow even stronger

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Khun

I just finished reading The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) by Thomas S. Khun and it struck me as one of those instances of a non-Communist person being dialectical materialist on accident. I actually don't know what his attitudes towards Communism was, but since he was born in the USA and spent almost his entire adult life in the Cold War, I assume it wasn't good. But nevertheless, I found this to be a very intriguing but short book (he calls it an essay) which analyzes science not as a static teleological method based on making falsifiable conjectures and attempting to refute them through experiments (as with Popper) but as a continually evolving and socially constructed human enterprise based on changing paradigms, which continually rewrites and simplifies its own history in order to abridge the process of raising and training new generations of scientists. Science continually subdivides into new fields, and old paradigms are continually replaced with new paradigms through the process of crisis formation and resolution. Old theories are abandoned, and the very process of raising and training a new generation of scientists in a given field introduces only the current dominant paradigm and its main problem/solution methodologies (called "normal" science) to avoid burdening the student with the entire historical background. But as scientists engage in experimentation, they uncover anomalies which the dominant paradigm cannot explain. At first this is fine, because paradigms reign as long as dominant theories are able to explain most phenomena encountered in daily work. Anomalies are just treated as mop up work for normal science. But as anomalies accumulate there is crisis formation and entire paradigms get called into question, leading to scientific revolution. He compares this to social and political revolution and it reminds me of the whole Scientific Socialist thing about the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes. I'm probably explaining it poorly but I'm wondering if anyone else here has read this book and gotten anything out of it, or maybe even if you thought it was trash, say why.

Both Labour, which held the seat comfortably in the 2024 general election, and the far-right Reform are very much still in the race. A Labour loss in a hitherto safe seat would certainly reignite calls for Sir Keir to go from the Labour backbenches, and possibly precipitate a challenge by Health Secretary Wes Streeting.

Iran rushes to load oil onto ships in anticipation of US strikes
Iranian oil exports from Kharg Island reached nearly 20.1 million barrels between 15 and 20 February, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing Kpler data. That is the equivalent of more than three million barrels per day (bpd) and almost three times the amount loaded over the same dates in January, Bloomberg said. For comparison, Iran’s previous three-month average of loadings was 1.54 million bpd.

Juche Douche is a full on Maoist (anarchist) wrecker – AND he's openly antiwhite racist

I posted about this glowie Maoist poser before, but new dirt keeps showing and it's even worse than I thought. Juche Douche isn't just pushing decentralized Mao crap to derail real ML discussions he's also straight-up anti white and racist as hell.

Every time the convo turns to proletarian unity across nations, this dude slips into digs at "white settler" this or that hut hatred of white workers. I've seen him in threads dismissing class struggle in the imperial core as "white privilege nonsense" and praising Third Worldism while implying white people are inherently counter-revolutionary parasites. Classic Maoist racial essentialism dressed up as anti-imperialism.

He'll quote Mao on the peasantry and "permanent revolution" all day, but when someone brings up actual internationalism that includes white proletarians, he pivots to "decolonize your mind" rhetoric that's basically just anti-white chauvinism. Last in colonialism thread, he was dropping lines like "the white race's historical role is oppression benefits" straight-up race reductionism that splits the working class along racial lines. That's not Marxism or anything leftist just bourgeois identity politics with a red flag slapped on it. d don't get me started on his little red book fetish while he ignores Stalin's contributions and slanders the USSR revisionism as "social imperialism." He's trying to turn our spaces into a Third Worldist cult hellhole where white comrades are treated like second-class revolutionaries at best, infiltrators at worst. If that's not racist wrecking, what is? hes also a gang member that sold drugs to his own people apparently.. lumpenscum are very untrustworthy i dont suppose anyone with a drug charge can lead any type of movement. Let's bury this wrecker. 🛑 His hourglass only has so much sand in it anyway, someone like this has made enemies and the left does not need to protect him or share his story when shit hits the fan. not to mention he takes anti zionism so far it borders anti semite. you'd think some time in prison he'd smarten up and stfu but nope, same old bs.

Lenin and the rest of the bolsheviks were so based in naming the new revolutionary state "Soviet Union". No nationalist symbolism, no ethnic supremacism, no historical callout to a genocidal past. Nothing. Just the union of worker councils.
Internationalism truly died in the 1920s. Every other "socialist movement after it has been Napoleon-like technocrats with 19th century aesthetics.

Is it possible to fix American culture?

American culture, and I'm not talking about cultural objects like Burgers, Banjos, Straw hats, or Seersucker suits or cultural Music like Country, Rap or Jazz. Im talking about behavioral culture like Hyper consumerism, Hyper materialism, American exceptionalism, or the insane Police and Military culture that's normalized. Like the last two could be fixed if the left plays its cards right but the consumerism and Materialism thing I think could be permanently bricked into the American brain. I live in America and I will always remember this time when ii was a kid and my family was on our way back from a road trip and we stopped at a McDonalds that was around an hour away from our and my little brother was upset that my Dad forgot to order a Root-Beer so he said "Don't worry we will pass like 15 other McDonald on the way home." And he said that like it was normal. I don't even think that in countries like Europe you can just walk into a Walmart and get like 47 different flavors of Oreos, Like I don't think that its inherently bad but there is no way that we get the stuff to make those Oreos without exploiting the labor of Sugar farmers in or from Guatemala or something, if it was self reliant then its fine but America doesn't manufacture anything we use anymore, Our entire economy is just 5 AI companies shuffling money between themselves. I will always remember that time that Trump was doing in interview about the Tariffs and he said "Well maybe Girls in America can have two dolls instead of thirty dolls" and although I hate Trump and his hostility to China he Isn't wrong about how kids don't need to have 30 of the same dolls to survive, and of course that is why the liberal media attacked him for saying that more then the stuff that deserves condemnation.

The Kremlin is persecuting even the pro-Kremlin Communist Party

The Communist Party, which has loyally supported the war in Ukraine, has become a target of the Kremlin.

In Russia, even supporting President Vladimir Putin's war policy is not necessarily enough as the security apparatus seeks to eradicate all opposition activity from the country.

This has been experienced firsthand by the Putin-loyal Communist Party, which has now found itself in the authorities' crosshairs, reports the Moscow Times.

The Communist Party is the second-largest party in Russia after Putin's United Russia, holding 57 seats in the 450-seat State Duma.
The party is part of the so-called systemic opposition that nominally opposes the regime but in practice supports Putin on all major issues.

In addition to the Communists, the systemic opposition is represented by the conservative and nationalistic Liberal Democratic Party (despite its name), the nominally social democratic A Just Russia party, and the self-proclaimed liberal New People party.

Before the war in Ukraine, the systemic opposition parties were allowed minor deviations from the official line, but nowadays they are expected to support Putin's line ever more unanimously.

"For those opposing the military actions, it may seem like there is no opposition at all, as all parties represented in parliament officially support the 'special military operation,'" summarized Stanislav Andreychuk of the Russian election monitoring organization Golos to the Moscow Times in April.

According to the Ukrainian human rights organization EHRG, the Communist Party has indeed supported Russia's war effort by, among other things, supplying weapons and ammunition to the front, supporting paramilitary groups, and spreading war propaganda.

But why is the Kremlin persecuting a party that so loyally follows Putin's line?

Parliamentary elections will be held in Russia in September, and as they approach, dozens of Communist Party members have been arrested. In the party's stronghold in the Altai region of Siberia, 11 party members have been arrested over the past three months. Among the arrested is Yuri Kropotin, deputy speaker of the regional parliament.

Gennady Zyuganov, who has led the party since the 1990s, has therefore expressed bewilderment over why communists are being persecuted.

According to a Russian election expert, the persecution of the pro-Kremlin opposition is linked to the upcoming elections. Even loyal support for Putin and the "special military operation" is not enough when the Kremlin fears that even the Kremlin-supporting opposition threatens the system.

"The Kremlin does not want the systemic opposition parties to become a focal point for protest votes," summarizes Ora John Reuter, a Russia expert at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

"[The Kremlin] is trying to suppress all forms of open opposition activity to make it harder for those opposing [the regime] to figure out who to give their protest votes to."

This is clearly visible in the Altai region, where United Russia has historically had great difficulty succeeding. In the 2021 regional elections, United Russia received "only" 33 percent of the vote, while the Communists took 31 percent.

The situation annoyed United Russia because the existence of even a nominal opposition in the regional parliament meant uncomfortable questions.

"I have been interrogated, threatened, and taken to court in the past. I thought those days were over, but now they are returning in an even more terrible form," Zyuganov laments.

Fortunately for Putin, many regional Communist Party deputies have ended up in court primarily on fraud charges. This has also been the case in many other regions.

Furthermore, it seems that nowadays Russians do not want to run as candidates in any kind of elections. The risk of getting into trouble is too high even as a United Russia candidate.

"All parties are having a hard time. When everyone sees this oppressive pressure, finding candidates and supporters is becoming increasingly difficult," an anonymous election expert points out.

F-35 Hate Thread - All My Homies Hate the F-35

Thread for hating on the F-35 "Lightning II" stealth turkey a.k.a the most expensive military project in history to date.

The USAF declared it ready for service in 2016
As of that date the following problems I can list just off the top of my head
- Vulnerable to lightning; it's practically a lightning rod https://archive.is/QSIii
- 0 redundancies in the cyber or mechanical aggregates; any malfunction
- RADAR glitches means it literally ahs to be turned off and on again https://archive.ph/EEd9y
- Ejection seat is banned for anyone 136 pounds or below and anyone not above 150 pounds has significant injury risk, it literally can break your neck.
- F-35 helmets glow too brightly for air-to-air refueling https://archive.is/pKE0Y
- F-35 helmets are so heavy at nearly 5 kilograms so that maneuvers cause them to bang their heads on the inside of the cockpit https://archive.ph/WsRxA https://archive.ph/dE1gP
(keep in mind these helmets are 400,000 dollars each).
- The oxygen system is unreliable (something that the F-22 shares) https://archive.ph/kGGKq

The Plane was supposed to be ready by 2010-12 having been projected in the early 2000s
the list of problems in its past and that are remaining in various levels of urgency number over 800.
Such as but not limited to
- Current aircraft software is inadequate for even basic pilot training.
- Ejection seat may fail, causing pilot fatality. Lacking safety measures for automatic pilot release.
- Several pilot-vehicle interface issues, including lack of feedback on touchscreen controls.
- The radar performs poorly, or not at all.
- Engine replacement takes an average of 52 hours, instead of the two hours specified.
- Maintenance tools do not work.
- It has inferior maneuverability and aerodynamics to the planes it is meant to succeed the F-16 and the F-18
