>USSR "collapses"
The USSR did not "collapse" it was economically and ideologically sabotaged by pro capitalist and nationalist forces within the CPSU and the institutions, and then it fell by a coup.

>Why again is Krushchev seen as a pariah?
Because he was a weasely fucking liar. He was one of the most enthusiastic for the purges etc. Using the typical Trot/leftcom definition you could say he was the most "Stalinist" in being a brown nosing bureaucratic toady who used the oppressions to advance his career and the cult of personality to save his own skin. Then when he and his cronies carried out a coup after Stalin's death he tried to turn over a new leaf and pretend everything bad was just Stalin's fault.

Oh and to top it off his bungling and greed for power eventually got him kicked out of leadership for the same anti-leninist practices he accused Stalin of.

“Only the Revolutionary who manages to maintain or reestablish the historical tradition, by preserving in a positive memory the given present which he himself has relegated to the past by his negation, succeeds in creating a new historical World capable of existing.”

If that's true you're still a liberal.

khrushchev, recognized and rightly so that the party went too far in a few places as they had helped place yezhov and later beria into power who both fucked things up and ran their investigations less on a case by case basis and more based on quota which resulted in numerous people getting punished who didn't, yezhov was even removed from his post for this very reason, as for his talk on stalin personally he only named the things he named to demonstrate that the personality cult was faulty which it was, even stalin hated his own personality cult and thought it was bullshit and after the war there was no real point to it other than as a way to keep stalin in power which was even against his own wishes.

Hezbollah only has the power it does because the Lebanese state is so weak and ineffectual (deliberately so as no centralized government could rule without excluding one of the religious and ethnic groups)

Surveillance isn't helping. The US built an extensive surveillance system in Afghanistan and they still lost in fucking 3 days, Islamists do their terrorist attacks regularly in some of the most surveilled countries despite the usually pitiful state of their warriors. Ukraine still can't deal with people leaking coordinates and sabotaging shit despite their ultraviolent approach, complete western support, and modern infrastructure. Neither could westerners deal with BLM on their own soil.

>Has there ever been an organizational model that could withstand the western surveillance state?

I don't think we're on the same page Anon, I'm no fan of murder. The key term is "assisted suicide", it would be on their own terms. As someone who has lived around those in the retirement industry and lost my parents to dementia, if you're willing to care for these individuals out of the goodness of your heart, good for you, but care-taking positions should be voluntary, and not coercive. Not sure where you're located, but where I'm from, the majority of retirement homes employ primarily immigrants of colour. The pay is low, the hours and work are strenuous, and in the capitalist world, most of the time, this is the only employment these individuals may be able to find. The work is largely compulsory, in addition to it being a burden on tax revenue. As it exists, the industry can barely suffice off its current existence, paying pennies to immigrants who can find no other work, does this not tell you enough money is wasted on this system?

>As it exists, the industry can barely suffice off its current existence, paying pennies to immigrants who can find no other work, does this not tell you enough money is wasted on this system?

This is not a problem of scarcity or "not enough money". Is because is not profitable to treat old people as human beings. In socialism, treating and taking care of people is a necessity, and completely achievable. If the US spended billions of dollars in healthcare instead of weapons and aids to ukraine and palestine and trade barriers, maybe the life of old people would not be a living hell and they would never think of suicide.

>because is not profitable to treat old people as human beings
Except it is, especially in the United States. Retirement communities are some of the most profitable business in the country. I implore you to explore The Villages, in Florida, for instance. The business is expanding across the country, meanwhile the workforce is primarily the same: Immigrants, and the wages don't highly vary. If the wages were higher, sure, more people would want to work these jobs, but I highly doubt that. It's a strenuous line of work that should be forced onto noone.
>maybe the life of old people would not be a living hell and they would never think of suicide
I agree, however in the case of mine and OP's case, some-people receive all the care they need, and are still in pain. These individuals are at the end of their lives, and no degree of delusion with free ice-cream or sanctuary can save them from this dread. Those that are seeking assisted-suicide would only be ones who are terminal or something like that.

Czechoslovakia in 1948 would've been further on the road of capitalist development than Cuba in the 1950s no?

not really, cuba was mostly plantations and a mafia resort for US tourist wanting sun and cheap whores, it was really not that advanced at all

As it was said. Checkoslowakia and the German revolution

Rest in power to all those crazy and brave guys who tried focoism (literally 8/10 LATAM countries in that era)

The Cuban economy before the revolution had much of its land in latifunia plantation, so it still was quite unindustrializedk on the eve of the takeover communist .militants'

There is a huge difference between self employed and petit porkies. In many cases self employed are exploited by large corporations and doing worse than actual proletarians.

Alabama lawmakers OK bill barring state incentives to companies that voluntarily recognize union
The Alabama Senate voted 23-5 for the bill by Republican Sen. Arthur Orr, of Decatur. It now moves to the Alabama House of Representatives. The measure says that companies would be ineligible for economic development incentives if they voluntarily recognize a union after a majority of employees return union-authorization cards — a process sometimes called “card check-off.” Under the proposal, a secret ballot election would be required to determine if a union would be formed.

Volkswagen union vote in Tennessee to test UAW's power after victories in Detroit
A victory would give the UAW its first major automaker win outside General Motors, Ford Motor, and Chrysler parent Stellantis. It would also offer a launching point for the union’s unprecedented organizing campaign of 13 automakers in the U.S. following major contract wins in 2023 with the Detroit companies.

Denver sweeps homeless encampment due to health concerns
The advocate group Housekeys Action Network said the encampment is made up of about 150 people who gathered there because Mayor Mike Johnston promised to break up large encampments into micro units. The city confirmed that they will not move people from this encampment into housing. The city will remove all items obstructing public areas during a coordinated multiagency cleanup.

Tudeh Party of Iran, The catastrophic playing with fireby imperialism and reactionary forces in the Middle East, and its perils for the people of the region and world peace
In recent months, the policies of global imperialism led by the US imperialism in the region have increasingly placed the Middle East in the quagmireof the risk of a widespread military confrontation which might extend the war to Iran's soil, all the while unjustifiably defending the "crimes against humanity" policies of the Netanyahu government, which have led to the massacre of over 33,000 Palestinians, including more than 11,000 children. The expansion of the US military presence in the region and the announcement of the direct participation of the US naval fleet and the air forces of Britain and France in destroying Iranian drones indicate a dangerous policy pursued jointly by imperialism and local reactionary forces in the region.

Petro Is Trying to Rein in Colombia’s Infamous Riot Police
The 2021 demonstrations and national strike in Colombia, called to protest unpopular tax increases and health care reforms proposed by then president Iván Duque and to demand an end to police violence, were themselves met, unsurprisingly, with police violence. Despite an aggressive campaign by official media and government outlets to portray the protesters as vandals and criminals tied to terrorist groups, videos of the rampant human rights abuses, violence, and assassinations against peaceful protesters on the part of the Mobile Anti-Riot Squadron (Escuadrón Móvil Antidisturbios, or ESMAD), the country’s dreaded riot police, went viral on social media. The police repression backfired and helped swing the tide of popular sentiment against the right-wing government, culminating in the election of President Gustavo Petro, a left-wing ex-guerrilla. President Petro began his administration with a plan for “Total Peace,” negotiating with the major armed groups to bring peace to aPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
