>"I shouldn't be shamed for not living up to capitalist society's expectations of me, I should be allowed to be my authentic self without being criticized and I shouldn't have to change myself based on some arbitrary capitalist standard"

This seems to be the sentiment that dominates the minds of zoomers and most millennials that drives them towards the left whether we want to admit it or not. This is what makes a lot of younger people under 40 embrace anti-capitalist politics, question social norms that are the superstructure of modern capitalism, become anti-eugenics, embrace new identity groups, and so on. Look no further than Tumblr from the mid 2010s or TikTok today. My question is, why haven't any communist or socialist parties been able to gather these types of people up? The DSA's entire strategy is simply economistic "healthcare and unions" babble that they weaponize to push the Democrats further to the left. Yet we shouldn't forget that the millennial left (namely, the people who participated in the anti-war movement in the 2000s and Occupy in 2011-12) all folded into DSA by the end of the 2010s. So why can't the DSA bring in those frustrated zoomers from TikTok, the ones who make videos on queerness and unmasking autism and mental health and why nearly all romantic relationships are inherently predatory or whatever? Maybe if the people on that platform were in a political party they'd have actual pragmatic political goals.

If you're looking to solve problems like those that autistic and queer people face, you have to build up orgs with people you actually like and are willing to work alongside long-term. That's how you get political leverage. So far, the autistic/neurodiversity and queer movements have largely been failures given how easily the Trump Administration could undo all the progress both groups have made within a matter of a year, because both of these movements don't have strong enough structures that they can effectively bite back.

>>2588290
You would assume an autism diagnosis (even if it's self-diagnosed) would radicalize someone and make them more willing to be proactive. But from my experience it's been the exact opposite: as soon as a comrade finds out they're autistic they use autism as an excuse to not organize or attend meetings/study groups and decide to stay on the couch or in bed all day. Now you're seeing a whole trend of autistic leftists (all of them zoomers, shocking) who insist attending protests and marches is "dangerous" for autistic people and they should have permission to stay out of protests without scrutiny. Really makes me wonder what these kiddos will do during a general strike or some other kind of mass upheaval.

>>2589291
Again though that's not about building socialism, that's about begging for concessions (treats) from piggy

If we really want to liberate autistic people we need a new system and they will have to fight for it and that requires picking up a book.

Soon the BASED ukrainian proletariat will do revolution

Ukrainian officials have classified data on the number of criminal cases in which soldiers went absent without leave or deserted their units. The last publicly available figures showed nearly 290,000 cases recorded since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.

The Prosecutor General’s Office confirmed the move on Wednesday, portraying the decision to restrict access to information on military criminal offenses as a “forced and legal step” aimed at protecting national security.

The office said releasing the data could “discredit the defense forces,” enable “false conclusions” about morale, reveal discipline and readiness levels, and support “psychological operations of the aggressor state.”

What even is the point of this shit anymore? The great turdworld cope that China, Russia, India and maybe Turkey and Brazil is gonna team up into an anti imperialist avenger and destroy the Epsteinian McWorld AmeriKKKa imposed upon us has been shattered to pieces, none of these guys do anything to defend Iran when the Iranians were bombed by the "Israelis", Russia is playing footsy with the US and India and China are more focused with exploiting their neighbours than confronting blatant American overreach under Trump. Any response that does exist is mostly scattered and reactive (i.e buying gold to protect from Fed interest rates) rather than proactive (i.e doing currency swaps and bond liquidation to harm the greenback).
In absence of any hope in changing the global world order i have seen third worldists now retreating and openly defending national bourgeoisie in the name of anti imperialism (such as Korotaev defending Ukrainian oligarchs as barrier against US investments, etc) and it's like …. We are against imperialism not just because we hate the US. We are against the US because American imperialism encouraged corruption and extractivism in the Third World, while American backed Bourgeois organizations crack down on labour rights world wide. Playing defense for corrupt and extractivist oligarchs in the third world in the name of building productive forces, that just undercut the reason why so many people became anti imperialist in the first place.
And as global crises started to ramp up, with metabolic drift and climate change ruining shit, the old rhetorics of building productive capability and bourgeois nationalism is just not gonna be relevant for long. This whole thing is a dead end politically.

<A classified addendum to the Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy outlines a roadmap for the active fragmentation of the European Union, according to sensitive documents obtained by Defense One.

<The "extended version" of the strategy marks a radical departure from postwar foreign policy. It explicitly directs U.S. officials to bypass Brussels and cultivate exclusive relationships with specific nations, with the ultimate objective of detaching them from the bloc.


<The document identifies Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland as primary targets for this diplomatic destabilization. The strategy instructs Washington to "engage more deeply" with these capitals to pull them away from the EU. To facilitate this, the White House proposes supporting "parties, movements, and cultural figures" who advocate for sovereignty and "traditional European lifestyles."


<In a significant doctrinal shift, the text formally rejects American hegemony, describing the pursuit of global dominance as a "failure" that was "not achievable." This phrasing, which intelligence analysts note mirrors Kremlin narratives, establishes a strictly transactional worldview: foreign affairs are relevant only if they pose a direct threat to U.S. interests.


<Despite the isolationist rhetoric, the document reveals anxiety about the power vacuum left by American withdrawal. It warns that neither China nor Russia must be allowed to replace U.S. leadership. To bridge this contradiction, the strategy proposes a loose coalition of "regional champions" who share U.S. principles, regardless of their democratic standing.

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.

>The flag has colors that look too childish
I figure someone that's trans, able to see the cisgenderism and reject it, would more easily see through the "adulthood and childhood as consumer identities" thing.
It's pink and light blue. Frequencies of light hitting your eyeballs with a rather gentle resulting stimulus.

>childish colors
True, pink/cyan as a color scheme is peak, but as bright pastels they look tasteless. I don't like the association of white with "innocence" either and there are grooming allegations floating around against the creator. I actually think the ⚧️ symbol and any variations of it look like a very evocative sigils or alchemical symbols from someones homebrew magic system system, so i entirely approve.

This is what I would expect from slaneesh but much worse and degenerate. One wouldnt watch such things because its le epic fantasy space larp but exactly because its extremely degenerate and disgusting.

Yes if you are a teenage girl.

Chaos is one the best factions when it comes to actual deranged underground cells, and hidden cults, crazed sorcerers in hidden mountain/forest keeps and exotic cultures that worship Chaos unknowingly as local gods.
It's one of the lamest when it's mass armies, demons etc. It doesn't help that the Demon designs for Warhammer aren't particularly interesting or great and imo have actually become more boring over time. Chaos Demons and Greenskins (for fantasy) and Eldar for 40k are the factions that developed in the wrong direction and the earlier models actually have way more personality.
Another issue is they always focus on the most fucking boring Chaos forces, Nurgle and Khorne rather than Slaneesh or even better Tzeentch.
Oh look it's another Nurgle Zombie apocalypse x10000 Oh look it's another gay ass Norsca Khorne warband x10000
The one thing Age of Sigmar does well is the Chaos Warcry stuff. WHFRPG is also great with Chaos. But yeah, 40k, Norsca, Chaos Demons etc is mostly lame as fuck.

>Do you really want to see a conservative's idea of transgender people raping walking husks of sickly flesh whose diet consists of processed human corpses and ultra-GMO corn? Most people don't, it adds nothing to the setting except an "eww". You can always imagine it if you want to.
Even if it doesn't get put into imagry, I do not like all mention of sex and sexual violence being scrubbed from Warhammer. There is nothing with with Fimir being hive rape monsters, that is what makes them particularly horrifying, but people keep talking about how that is so problematic when … Genestealers are basically the same.. and so are Slaneesh etc and lets be real again, rape is one of the better ways to be assaulted in Warhammer.
>>eldar can't have progress either, now I need more stories about ultramarines!!!!!!!
100% agreed. Always a problem of moving 40k forward 200 years. A big noticable one is actually Tau. How in fuck are Tau still using the same tech as 200 years prior? Why is the XV-14 still a "prototype" after…200 years.

When some of you guys actually start working, you're going to discover that while people are more "normal" then the internet, they are way less "normal" then you think they are. Working class people are way, way weirder then the social standard of what "normal" is. There's stories and characters you will only ever encounter while working in the trenches, and most media is entirely unable to replicate it.

Of course the typical lefties having a meltdown over this because they rather defend rapists and rape culture if they are minorities than defend victims. Potential "racism" is more than a threat than… countless girls being gang raped brutally by certain populations in this country.
Also I have hope that they put someone who is a zealous anti-rape activist in charge of this, so when it turns against Boarding Schools and the Church and other elite networks, politicians get real egg on their faces.

It's more about the extremely negative experiences people have with trot parties, tbh.

>>2591280
Beyond constantly splitting over everything when they supposedly agree with democratic centralism, the main problem was Trotsky. He was supported by the capitalist west because he constantly spread anti-Stalin and anti-USSR propaganda, tried to stir up terrorism inside the USSR and even advocated breaking up the USSR right after Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia. All because his ego couldn't handle being exiled and he needed to be in charge.
After he finally died Trotskyist parties were just anti-USSR communists that capitalists let hang around in order to split the movement as much as possible and they have been easily ignored ever since.

The reason trotskyism appeared in the first place is because it was a wrecker group that undermined the role of the party as the command center of the working class and believed that socialist construction in the Soviet Union was impossible. No wonder westoids loved it so much.

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

I'm kind of in a similar situation to OP where people keep telling me to do direct action. But then they don't offer any examples of it and instead just keep saying "DSA is le bad" on repeat, So we're just stuck in a rock and a hard place.

this is directed at the thread in general and the glowies here:
1: Individually we can't solve the social issues we face
1.a Therefore our work needs to be done collectively and systematically rather than individually
2. Our first step as scattered communists is to gather ourselves together, since we at least know that the work (whatever it's nature) has to be done together
3. Communists alone, who are a small minority of the population, can't effect change alone, and especially not change that puts a majority class in power. It requires the active participation of a much larger segment of the working class.
3.a. Therefore we have to get a much larger segment of the working class on board with what we know needs to be done. This work can be generally described as education and organization
4. The existing state enforces bourgeois power and the exploitation of the working class.
4.a Therefore we need to at some point take material actions against the existing state
5. To put it all together, we need to unite as communists first, for the task of systematically educating the proletariat, and their education is towards the ends of taking effective action against the state in order to constitute our own state, and to use a new workers state to keep down the bourgeoisie and transform society

Step one is finding each other. Arguments about what collective action to take have no place getting in the way of step one, because they're a later issue. If you're an isolated communist them step one is getting hooked in. Afterwards you can argue about what to do. But generally everyone has similar ideas. Just be ware of adventurists who think communists can do everything alone, and movementists/liquidationists who deny the role of conscious communists and our collective action altogether in changing society.

Anyone who denies this is a fed

Two US officials told Reuters the operation was led by the US Coast Guard, but did not name the tanker or say specifically where the interception happened. A senior Trump administration official told Bloomberg that the US had conducted a “judicial enforcement action on a stateless vessel” that was last docked in Venezuela.

Honduran election turmoil grows as president decries 'electoral coup'
Honduran President Xiomara Castro on Tuesday denounced what she called an "electoral coup" unfolding amid a chaotic vote count from the November 30 presidential election, as hundreds of protesters gathered in the streets of the capital Tegucigalpa to demand clarity over the vote count. The election has been marked by technical failures, unsubstantiated fraud claims and a shadow cast by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has threatened to withdraw funding for the Central American nation if his preferred candidate is not successful.

Today begins the presidential and legislative election of the Central American of Honduras. With the left-wing Libre party, wish wishes to change the constitution to an anti-neolib and democratic socialist stance, at odds with the liberal and social conservative neoliberal bloc.
Whilst this is happening, Trump has pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking offences whilst going off about how conveniently the whole Venezuelan military high command is full of alleged drug traffickers. Honduras is of considerable strategic importance to the United States. With several U.S. Army bases situated there. Trump has also gone off about how the electorate must vote away from the Libre "communists" and vote anyone else.

Election protests in Honduras as Congress panel vows not to validate result

Officials of a Honduras Congress panel threatened on Wednesday not to validate the result of a Nov. 30 presidential election, citing an "electoral coup" and "interference" by U.S. President Donald Trump, as counting stretched into an 11th day.

While the ruling LIBRE leftist party has no chance of winning the election, it is throwing its support behind Salvador Nasralla, of the center-right Liberal party, who has also alleged fraud and said he has won the election.
It is unclear if Wednesday's declaration by the permanent commission of Congress, which escalates the election crisis, could be enough to annul the results, which must be validated by two of the three members of the National Electoral Council.

With more than 99% of ballots counted, conservative Nasry Asfura of the National Party was about 40,000 votes ahead of Nasralla of the Liberal Party, while LIBRE candidate Rixi Moncada was a distant third.
But inconsistencies in roughly 15% of the tally sheets require further review, heightening the political suspense, as those could be sufficient to sway the election outcome.

South Yemen secessionists, supported by the UAE, are crushing the Saudi puppet state and took over most of the cities in the Southern part of the country, also taking control of the Oman-Yemen border. But the Southern Transitional Council isn't communist like was South Yemen, and fully supports the Palestinian genocide:

https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/us/2025/09/24/southern-independence-opens-door-to-ties-with-israel-says-yemens-al-zubaidi/

>Transitional Council chief says Abraham Accords will be key to stability after Gaza war

Declaring an independent southern Yemeni state would pave the way for entering the Abraham Accords, the deputy chairman of Yemen's Presidential Council Aidarous Al Zubaidi told The National in an interview.

>The president of the Southern Transitional Council said all the conditions were in place for statehood and added that secession would allow the south to make its own foreign policy decisions, including the option of joining the Abraham Accords.


>“Before the events in Gaza, we were advancing towards joining the Abraham Accords,” he said. “If Gaza and Palestine regain their rights, the Accords will be essential for stability in the region. When we have our southern state, we will make our own decisions and I believe we will be part of these accords.”


>Yemen's eight-member Presidential Council leads the anti-Houthi, internationally recognised government in exile in Aden. The secessionist Southern Transitional Council holds three of those eight seats.


>Mr Al Zubaidi framed independence not just as a local aspiration but as part of a wider commitment to stability in the region. “We support the two-state solution – a Yemeni state in the north and in the south – and a Palestinian state alongside Israel,” he said. “Self-determination is a right. All people have the right to determine their future.”

Instead of a corrupt and hollowed government with a shitty Saudi support, they are against an army in the middle of a huge national-secessionist movement that took most of the country in a week with huge support from UAE. Iran and Hezbollah are weakened, STC control mosts ports and roads toward Houthis territory.
Houthis are taking a defensive stance and isolating themselves: today they detonated the roads towards STC areas rather than looking for a fight

>>2591419
does stc have popular support across the south? how effective are they at governing?

>>2591295
South Yemen is obviously not a socialist movement, they're merely taking the flag of the old socialist state, but they are openly anti-socialists.
>>2591352
STC are a well equipped and well organised army that just defeated the government, Houthis are fairly good defensively, but I think even taking the remnants of the Gov will be costly enough for them, beyond that, they are also exhausted by their fight with the west, and even Iran probably doesn't want to spend to much ressources to make them win, finally, if it seemed as if they were going to win, the west would intervene because they obviously don't want them in control of the very important south Yemen.

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.

it's a crackpot theory concocted by an ameriKKKan Klanadian cishet boomer moid working in the aKKKademic mediKKKal SSience establishment.

All blanchardist lingo should result in an immediate ban lasting 3 to 7 days, with repeat offenders being permabanned.

Non-binary and other invented genders aren't truly gender identities. If you look at what they post, you'll realize they're primarily experiencing a coming-of-age complex, wanting to return to their pre-pubescent, gender-neutral childhood.
But this isn't gender dysphoria, and non-binary people often don't take any hormones and, after a couple of years, become normal adults.
Yet, they often speak on behalf of the LGBT community, and many liberals support this, even though, in reality, they're cisgender heterosexuals with youthful maximalism and some personality disorders.

In our survey of 271 non-binary Australians, 66 per cent had used or wanted hormone therapy.
Among the non-binary survey respondents presumed female at birth, nearly half reported that they were using testosterone therapy. In non-binary people presumed male at birth, 59 per cent reported they were currently using gender-affirming hormone therapy to either increase oestrogen or to decrease testosterone.
If we look at gender affirming surgery, nearly half of the non-binary people we surveyed had or wanted surgery.
In non-binary people presumed female at birth, 23 per cent of people surveyed wanted but had not had any type of surgery. In non-binary people presumed male at birth, 26 per cent desired surgery but haven’t accessed it yet.

> before taking hormones my body was absolutely intolerable. my brain is made for an androgynous body
If you have gender dysphoria and hormones help, I have no complaints. For me, HRT is much more important than social transition.

I don’t know about you, but I personally don’t like gendered distinctions. Russian has strict grammatical gender everywhere, and I don’t like that. When I speak in the feminine form, I feel fake and not taken seriously. When I speak in the masculine form, I feel uncomfortable. I wish the language were fully gender-neutral everywhere, like the Turkic and Uralic languages. I don’t like gender-oriented words and phrases; I’d rather be called “comrade” than “dude.” In real life, I’d like to be both cute and serious, depending on the time and my mood.
