Dump all the seemingly pointless, dubious, and frivolous questions that don't deserve their own shitty threads.

Got a question that's probably been asked a million times before? You're in the right landfill, buddy. Post it here.

Like 63% (as of 2024) of ukraine's agricultural land in use were bought out by western companies after raising the land sale moratorium under pressure from the IMF who were chosen the next credit-givers in place of Russia (who gave free money (paid tribute basically), in exchange for neutrality). Blackrock and Monsanto are two big buyers. So now the real owners of Ukraine come to the negotiation table

Ukraine is just Europes Qing dynasty. Actual real imperialism in Europe where almost the entire economy is owned by foreign powers.

so the eu has just stolen the frozen russian assets

Material conditions.

It doesn't work that way. The material conditions of society shapes the man, not the other way around.

How can communists in the imperial core be normal?

Not really sure how to explain the problem. It just seems in general like there's an extreme lack of interpersonal skills, patience, pragmatism and empathy for others. IDK just seems very dysfunctional.

I looked it up and had some details wrong.

>HIV is said to have arisen when an oral polio vaccine was administered in the Belgian Congo in the 1950s, which was grown on kidney tissue from chimpanzees and bonobos. After millions of people in Congo and Rwanda-Burundi and received the vaccine the fatal growth of HIV began. HIV has subsequently killed 30 million by AIDS and by 2010 had infected an estimated 34 million people.

We don't know the real numbers of course.

On top of that some companies purposefully infected patients with HIV. Bayer, etc. They tested out experimental drugs on Ugandan and Indian patients, which eventually led to the development of prep.

>>2592765
central planning has even less to do with communism than the melted ice cream

>>2591160
>It just seems in general like there's an extreme lack of interpersonal skills, patience, pragmatism and empathy for others.
The explanation for this is material conditions. You're much more likely to be petit bourgeois if you're a communist in the imperial core. I say this as someone from a petit bourgeois background (a professional engineer with a family that had no struggles with money etc) by the way, it's not an insult, it's just reality.
As communism grows in the working class it'll change and adapt to the material conditions of the new base. Our task is to spread communism to the working class and take part in organization, regardless of our class background. There are many examples of this in our movement, including the most important figures like Engels, Lenin, etc.

Bureaucrat.

It'd be contradictory to have one party leading the working class and to then have multiparty elections, that would defeat the party's purpose. Also political parties are bourgeois.
>>Wants to be worldwide so that the bourgeoisie can't establish itself somewhere else
Yeah but how does that actually happen?
>The ML actions don't seem to have been this excellent too
Which proves that they're both impotent.

I can't speak to historical divisions as I've never found Trotsky that worthwhile as a theorist. I still don't understand what permanent revolution would mean in a practical sense had Trotsky taken power in the 20s, and Stalin ended up siding with the left of the party by the end of the 20s anyway.

As an organiser in Britain, I have frequent contact with Trots. They vary depending on the party.

> Socialist Party
Honestly, these guys are fine. They're a key part of TUSC which is a worthwhile project. They tend to have good links with local councils and, in my limited experience, will engage with MLs in good faith. They're not very radical so this probably helps avoid pointless sectarian bickering, or maybe I've only spoken with the good ones.

> SWP
They're sort of okay, I guess. Some of the work they do, like the People's Assembly and Stop the War, is important and MLs work alongside them. Individually they're often fairly based older ladies who genuinely give a fuck and will work with you in good faith. As an org they're hopelessly committed to entryism and we've all heard the horror stories of how they lie and cheat and subvert collective movements to their organisational goals. The classic symbol of this is how they show up to broad left events with protest signs with their name plastered on it - just so lame and bad faith lol. They get a lot of work done but for little use - quite impressive how busy they are without their work going anywhere meaningful.

>RCP (formally Socialist Appeal)
Yeah, these guys suck really, really bad. Their political project is based on having the most radical and correct opinions, and then educating everyone to agree with these opinions. This is why they only sell newspapers and run internal educationals, because they think revolution entails convincing the working class to agree with their very limited and idealist interpretation of Marxism. They don't need to base their movement on the working class and their experiences because they already have the Correct Opinions TM. Any meaningful organisation within the working class is a waste of time and there's always an excuse to not do it - bureaucratic unions and such like.

Individually, they're almost always objectionable in their interactions with MLs. Just looking to pick a fight and bicker away. Actually, this is how they behaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Trotsky is OK but trotskyists are not.
In my country, trotskyists just repeat the liberal's geopolitical positions. They're all "free ukraini", "down with Maduro!", "Cuba's a dictatorship", and on and on. All they care about is "being right" and selling newspapers. They don't have the slightest interest in taking power.

Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.

everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.

Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.

Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.

How do I get over my hatred of masculine men? All throughout my school years I was relentlessly bullied by jocks and such because I wasnt into typical masculine things and because i was too emotional. Ive felt extreme resentment towards masculinity ever since.

The only men im able to be attracted too are other feminine boys like myself, aswell as older men. Meanwhile it seems like the vast majority of gays feel attraction almost exclusively to hyper-masculine men, and talk about their attraction like being attracted to masculinity is an inherent part of being gay. It has made me feel so isolated and made me feel invalidated in my sexuality.

Part of me feels like masculinity is inherently evil, I feel like it encourages meanness, arrogance, and cruelty by its design. Plus, seeing masculine guys constantly get praised while every other type of male never gets anywhere near as much love, it just makes me even angrier. My resentment is so deep-seated at this point that im not fully sure if I can even change it.

I wouldnt consider you a bully then, I see that more as just roleplaying rather than actual bullying. Atleast to me, real bullying has the intention to cause misery to the victim.

>>5404
>I dont really understand why some guys like guys who are the complete opposite of them lol
Well from a sexual perspective I like the feeling of completely physically dominating my partner, just being way bigger and stronger than them. From an emotional/personality perspective I guess I like feminine guys because it's easier for me to feel useful by doing things they can't or don't want to do (carrying heavy stuff, getting rid of spiders, etc).
>I see that more as just roleplaying rather than actual bullying
Yeah it definitely is. My actual personality with a cute guy I like is more like a giant teddy bear they can cuddle and extract fresh cum from.

>>5362
>I see masculinity as something evil that shouldnt be praised or promoted.
Lol me but with femininity.
Edgy comments presented as jokes thus making the mods unable to confidently value the post aside, those archetypes (atleast from when I graduated high school back in 2018) are dead since everyone just goes on their phone.

Past that, think of the material reality, and seperate the traits from each other and evaluate on each one individually to get a fuller picture.

The jock is cringe, but is working out is? Y'know, the thing so good for your health it even reduces cancer?
The dudebro is cringe (I guess?), but is a party culture of having a good time is? Or the jokey aspect of wanting to marry or eben fuck your best friends?

Tldr: stop thinking like a feminist or else you will at some point defend child rape to argue for pink fascism, (something you can do even being a token moid for their cause)

>>14409

Eu fico mais é chocado com a degradação da capacidade de organizar/mobilizar entre meados dos anos 60 e hoje, por exemplo. Anteriormente militantes de esquerda existiam em todas as esferas da sociedade, e não só curso de humanas em faculdade. Dá pra ver isso, por exemplo, no filme Oppenheimer, e a preocupação (justificada) do governo americano sobre a presença de comunistas no programa Manhattan. Era presença em números em fábricas, sindicatos, clubes, universidades, jornais, indústria da cultura, etc. No Brasil, isso se estendia até nas forças armadas (Carlos Lamarca, por exemplo.)

Mas acho que no fim das contas nada disso importa porque essa galera não tinha presença nas redes, e não mogou reacinha genérico número 6 em podcast de fracassado.

>>14410

Alguns fatores disso é que nos anos 20 e 30, tinham turmas de militantes indo pra URSS estudar teoria e prática de gente com experiência em primeira mão de derrubar um governo, fazer uma revolução socialista e ganhar uma guerra civil. Infelizmente uma grande parte dessa galera foi morta/capturada/exilada nos anos 60 pra frente, então é como se uma geração inteira de militantes profissionais não fosse formada, e os alunos dessa geração que não veio (nós) tamo aqui boiando.

US regime change front funded Nepalese youth revolutionaries, leaks reveal

https://thegrayzone.com/2025/12/10/cia-front-funded-nepal-revolutionaries/

>Leaked files reviewed by The Grayzone show the US gov’t covertly funded Nepalese youth groups in the run-up to a violent coup. The “Gen Z” shadow army mobilized as the US sought to neutralize Chinese and Indian influence over Kathmandu – now controlled by a leader chosen by an informal social media poll.

>The US government’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) spent hundreds of thousands of dollars tutoring dozens of Nepalese youth on “strategies and skills in organizing protests and demonstrations” prior to a violent coup which overthrew the government of Nepal in September 2025, leaked documents show.

>The documents reveal a clandestine campaign organized by an NED division known as the International Republican Institute (IRI) that sought to cultivate a Nepalese “network” of young political activists explicitly designed to “become an important force to support US interests.” The leaked documents note that the IRI’s program “connects vibrant youth… and political leaders” and “provides comprehensive trainings on how to launch advocacy campaigns and protests.”

>The demonstrations organized under the NED’s umbrella would relate to “issues selected” by the Institute and its local collaborators, thereby “ensuring the U.S. concerns with Nepal’s democracy [would] be resolved,” an IRI report stated. As The Grayzone reported, a similar effort by the IRI in Bangladesh helped generate a coup in August 2024.

I'm probably going to get jumped but uh regardless, I'm feeling very frustrated because a lot of the more far left people i listen to keep saying to stop supporting stuff like DSA and junk and move to something more radical. but then they don't offer anything more radical, so we're just stuck in this feedback loop and i feel frustrated because i genuinely want to help. They keep saying that my arguments for not working on non-viable stuff is flawed but then they don't offer any alternatives and it's driving me up the wall. My main hope is that if a Dem Teaparty goes off, we can work on building actual space for third parties post trump. But I'm struggling on ways to do that, if any of you have any basic starter groups for a noobie demsoc like me please let me know. I wouldn't be here if i wasn't desperate

The debate over whether AI is “ethical” is mired in petit-bourgeois moralism. Technology itself doesn’t create suffering — capitalism does. The real question isn’t whether AI should exist, but how it can be used for human benefit instead of private profit.

The outrage toward AI is highly selective. People claim it “steals,” as if corporations haven’t been extracting labour, culture, and data for decades. They claim AI is destroying the environment — meanwhile, online video streaming accounts for the majority of global internet traffic and emits far more CO₂ than AI use does today. According to The Shift Project, an hour of streaming produces roughly 55 g of CO₂, and a typical Netflix user emits around 17 kg of CO₂ every month. Pornography alone occupies a huge portion of global bandwidth. Yet no one demands the abolition of streaming; our habits and pleasures are completely normalised.

Before attacking AI, remember that streaming culture is part of the spectacle of late capitalism: endless passive entertainment that keeps people distracted while the system churns on. People fixate on AI because it is new and unfamiliar — not because it is the true driver of ecological or social harm.

What is never discussed is the role AI could play outside capitalism. Under a rationally organised, democratically planned socialist economy, AI could become an instrument of genuine human emancipation. AI could eliminate monotonous labour, optimise resource allocation, reduce systemic waste, plan production in real time, expand access to education and culture, and coordinate complex systems on a scale no bureaucracy could ever achieve. Instead of reinforcing exploitation, AI could free people from it — shortening the working day, expanding leisure, and allowing individuals to participate meaningfully in cultural and intellectual life.

In other words: AI is not inherently exploitative. It simply reflects the system into which it is born. Under capitalism, it becomes another tool for profit extraction. Under socialism, it becomes a tool for human development. The question is not whether AI should be used, but who controls it — capital or society.

Are you this much of a monkey? An upgrade to visual processing isn't the same thing as consciousness emerging, you rube.

>>2593146
Nor is it even tangentially related…

>>2593146
It has flow-on effects. Broaden your mind. If there is visual processing that improves, then that means it can be applied to a bunch of jobs and automate things that were once low-paid, dangerous jobs that no one wanted. An example might be a packer in a factory. It's not "sentient" but it would be a robot that can effectively self-manage tasks in a warehouse.

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

As a cis person, I think the trans flag is easily the best looking pride flag by far. Most other pride flags just look like a bunch of similar colors put together without any cohesion. The trans flag feels cohesive, is simple, and its color pastel color palette makes it look much more visually appealng.

I never once felt the flag was childish, and i doubt most others find it childish either. Honestly, im jealous that trans people have such a nice-looking flag, since the gay male pride flag looks horrible in comparison.

I kind of like the color combination. I just hate that transgenderism and non binary etc has become a cringey liberal alt subculture.

I'm 31. I never went to college because I considered it a waste of time. The state of education in the USA is abhorrent and I never for a moment considered there would be something to gain by wasting time in ideological brainwashing factories masquerading as educational institutions. I'm employed in the trades and I've always studied philosophy in my spare time, but I'm seriously considering university now because I believe (perhaps mistakenly) that my abilities and knowledge have reached a point of enough breadth and depth to make a career as a philosopher, and to get some papers and books published. Has anyone here pursued that path, and if so, what were your experiences?

Education especially in the humanities is a giant hazing ritual so you can finally join the club.

>>25439
No it isn't you fucking moron. The intelligentsia has a specific function and it was critiqued extensively by actually existing instances of socialism throughout history. They were not conceptually opposed to education proper, but neither is the OP's post–you are inferring a conflation where it doesn't actually exist. What is being insinuated is an issue with the system as it presently exists, which is not even an inaccurate take. It is INFNITELY more reactionary to defend the institutions as they currently exist, to reinforce the hegemonic arm of the intelligentsia, and to pretend that academia is somehow objectively neutral.

>>25484
By 'they' I mean people like Lenin, Marx etc.

>>25485
>>25484
Moreover, the entire premise of education (as it currently exists) is one of submission. It isn't an accidental stroke of etymology that you have to 'submit' a paper ;).
To deviate from the accepted standards is an unconscionable act, and deserves to be met only with browbeating in the eyes of the imperious arbitrators.
If you truly think critically, you'll come to the realization that much of academia is a kind of 'ritual' more than it is anything transcendentally objective; most of its presuppositions are arbitrary and cannot be honestly defended, and so they fall back upon the circularity of their own tautological self-validation, either through demanding accreditation (circular) or through deferring to likeminded communities who already predispose themselves to the starting premise that education *must* be an inherent 'good', i.e. curating their argumentative experience with the likes of reddit and bluesky and academic forums and so on (tautological). The basis of contemporary education is to work backwards from a series of starting presuppositions and deem anyone who attempts to dissent anew from this as 'stupid' or 'ignorant' or 'crazy'. So-called 'common sense' is really just a form of brutal conformism, and it is fundamentally feminine in essence–it is best encapsulated with the spirit of the phrase 'Really? I can't even…' or something akin to that. The very notion that the fundamental foundations might be a festering source is treated as an inconceivably profaned thing. I don't share the same cynicism towards the future possibility of the human condition, or the reading of its full nature, as Eugene, but he is absolutely on the mark at least with respect to the current state of affairs.

Name a single philosopher who has produced anything of world shattering, history moving value from the modern universities. There isn't one. Probably the most interesting figures currently out there are those involved in the speculative realist movement, but in the end, irrelevance is the doomed fate of those who radically innovate (i.e. 'challenge') under this system. If you want to be a philosopher, OP, you must do it for the love of an enduring truth which might one day be excavated and embraced hermeneutically, assuming anything evePost too long.

BTW OP I have a degree in philosophy. It was a waste of time and money and most importantly sanity. All it did was further entrench my hatred for the capitalist world.
Anyone who currently thinks this shit is worthwhile, at least from a philosophical (and not, say, medical–assuming an honest doctor, of course) perspective, is as delusional and pliable to recuperation as someone like Chomsky. It's hilarious to see so many anarchists embrace university. Worshipping a microcosmic mirror of the dynamic the state already serves, thereby telling on themselves in the implicit process: "We want to abolish our lack of power, not to abolish power altogether–we'll forge it again in our image." Very similar logic to Zionism, wherein the phrase "never again" is perverted into indicating "never again TO THE LIKES OF US", rather than being a universalist renunciation of genocide.

MODERN DAY BRUTALITY ON A WORLDWIDE SCALE

The policy (the so-called 'War on Drugs') is built on a gross deception: that drugs other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine comprise a unique group of substances that present an unacceptable risk to health and welfare. This is wholly incorrect: alcohol and tobacco are the most dangerous drugs in existence. The criminalisation of associations with substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine creates a criminal underclass that is the resource for the strategy.

The so-called 'War on Drugs' has absolutely nothing to do with drug use or drug-related harm of any kind: it is purely a worldwide economic system based on intentionally-created crime.

It results in mass imprisonment, fining, asset forfeiture, execution, wars, state-sanctioned murder and endemic violence etc. It provides the pretext under which huge sums of public money are allocated and sustains a massively profitable black market in substances other than alcohol, tobacco and caffeine.

The US oppresses its own citizens under the name of the policy and this oppression extends worldwide, with governments forced to oppress their own citizenry or be chastised and threatened by the US through the United Nations.

Those who profit from or otherwise wish for the so-called 'War on Drugs' to continue constantly proffer the falsehood that the strategy is related to substance use and the prevention and minimisation of drug-related harm. Those who profit from the oppression of others include but are not limited to enforcement organisations and the prison industry, the legal and welfare systems, academia and a plethora of other industries.

The phenomenon continues due to the power and ruthlessness of the US and its ability to generate economic activity. Its true motives are kept hidden via the mass complicity of governments, the press and those who profit from it.

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!

General strike in Portugal causes major disruptions in national services
Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has insisted that the labour reforms, with more than 100 measures, were intended to “stimulate economic growth and pay better salaries”. But the communist-leaning General Confederation of the Portuguese Worker (CGTP) and more moderate General Union of Workers (UGT) have lambasted the plans. The CGTP organised about 20 demonstrations across the country. Its secretary-general, Tiago Oliveira, called the reforms “among the biggest attacks on the world of work”.

Britain threatened to defund ICC over Netanyahu arrest warrant, claims prosecutor
Khan does not name the individual who made the threats, saying the call on 23 April 2024 was with a British official, but reports have suggested the caller may have been the then British foreign secretary, David Cameron. Khan said the official had argued that issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli defence minister, was disproportionate.

Lammy refuses to meet MPs worried about constituents on hunger strike in prison
Five hunger strikers have been taken to hospital. Their lawyers warned of a “real and increasingly likely potential” their clients will die in prison on Tuesday. In his letter, Mr Corbyn said that he would seek assurances from Mr Lammy that he would take steps to protect the political prisoners’ rights. The detainees have all been charged with offences relating to alleged break-ins or criminal damage on behalf of Palestine Action, charges that are denied, before the group was banned under terrorism legislation.

60,000 multimillionaires own 3 times more wealth than half the world’s population
A new report from the World Inequality Lab, the product of four years of comprehensive research, finds that economic inequality on a world scale continues to increase by leaps and bounds, with vast wealth concentrated in a tiny handful of billionaires and centi-millionaires. As the report’s foreword declares: "The data presented here are striking. The richest 10% of the global population own close to three-quarters of all wealth, while the poorest half hold barely 2%. Fewer than 60,000 multi-millionaires now control three times more wealth than half of humanity combined. Within most countries, the bottom 50% rarely possess more than 5% of national wealth. "
The World Inequality Lab was established through efforts to investigate global inequality initially spearheaded by economists Thomas Piketty, Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez, co-authors of a series of studies on the concentration of wealth and income. According to the report, the wealthiest 0.001 percent have seen their share of the world’s wealth grow from 4 percent to 6 percent since 1995, while the bottom half of the world’s population controls only 2 percent. Multimillionaires have increased their wealth by approximately 8 percent each year over the past three decades, nearly twice the rate of the bottom half of the population.

An AI-Powered Stock Market
The stock market is, plainly, no longer simply a concern of the elite. “We like to joke that the markets are not the economy,” Peter Atwater of Financial Insyghts recently told Bloomberg, “but we’ve reached a point now where the economy is the markets.” In past articles, I’ve covered the rise and risks of retail investing for everyday Americans. To recap: a majority of Americans now own stocks; young women are the fastest growing demographic of investors; and the onset of “commission free” trading has lured millions of us into high-risk trading in speculative stocks and the derivatives market. All of this has taken place under the guise of words like access, equality, and democratization. Yet recent weeks has seen a spread of predictions of a bubble — and cracks beginning to show in the consumer economy as well as private crePost too long. Click here to view the full text.
