Not trying to be an enlightened centrist here, but it has always seemed odd to me how people on the right and left fetishize the concept of a militia taking down a conventional army, when reality has shown the opposite result every time, I come from a shitty third world nation that is barely held together most of the time, and my country has experienced numerous rebellions by Islamists, ethnic nationalists, and communists, and every time they have failed. This is because a "well-armed and well-funded militia" is no match for a well-armed, better-trained army with superior logistics and structure. Of course, in the event of a total collapse, a militia could potentially become the only proper authority for a region or if faced with an entirely incompetent and corrupt army. However, in most cases, a real army always prevails over militias. I don't know how people fell for this meme really, Eve Marx bought into this up and advocated for workers' militias, which ultimately proved to be a massive waste of time and loss of life for everyone involved, the Spanish Republicans insisted on using them in the Spanish civil war and they were a massive hinderance that lost way too many battles, and thoughts of forming an actual army was "Stalinism" and a betrayal of the revolution./Climate/ #3 Off the charts edition

8th Edition: Failson squad assemble!edition.A "single democratic binational state" is no better than a two-state solution
Many are increasingly waking up to the fact that a "two state solution", which imperialists have been trying to shove down the throats of the Palestinian people for years, does nothing but legitimize and reward Zionist colonialism, while denying the right to return for Palestinians violently driven out of their Homeland by the ZioFascist marauders and denying a democratic voice to the Palestinian people. Unfortunately, the alternative that many of them have embraced is a "single democratic binational state" for both the indigenous Palestinians and the descendants of the racist colonizers, who will have equal rights in this "democratic" Palestine. This is alleged to be an "anticolonial" and "socially just" solution, and people insist that when they say "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" this is what they mean./QTDDTOT/ - Questions that don't need their own thread

I hate religion and believe it should be prohibited, although it should still be preserved for historical purposes. However, we have encountered what is termed as "Reddit atheism," a type of atheism that is so off-putting that it makes you hesitant to even identify as an atheist. It embodies a sort of delusion of the South Park fan, where individuals with objectively mediocre intelligence believe they are superior to large segments of the population simply because they do not believe in God (or anything else, for that matter). Many on the political left are also coming to this realization. It has become increasingly difficult to disagree with a religious person without receiving a condescending "you dropped your fedora" remark and having others rally behind them. Even Stalin recognized the significance of faith and religion, and what it meant for the peopleCapitalism was no progress at all
Class societies have always been the same, people are pushed to do stupid things which keep the society going with majority of people living miserable lives. Capitalism has been no progress at all in terms of productive forces or otherwise. What capitalism does is that it creates tons of garbage on mass scale, which gives semblance that people have access to much more and much better but it is more of shit. Let us take the example of food, yeah the capacity to produce food has expanded but it is just shit food and that too is not available to all. The mass produced food is giving everyone and their mum cancer and at the end of it all what do we have? We have same everything in capitalism as we did in any other form of class society earlier.News 3/23/24

As socialists, how do we effectively utilize modern media methods to organize and to influence the working class to meet our aims? The popularity of Bolshevik newspapers amongst soldiers and workers was instrumental in the 1917 revolution but it's obvious that shitty Trotskyist print newspapers written in larpy, off-putting prose are less than useless at this task today. Given the fact that a huge amount of political organizing simply revolves around trying to find an effective way to attract attention to influence people's activities (all protests? most terrorism, even?) this question seems incredibly pertinent if we want to have any hope of attracting mass support and recruiting in the areas where it counts. The reason most people hold the false consciousness that they do is because of the opinions they repeat from bourgeois media and people under its influence. While there are a few somewhat-decent leftist media outlets I don't see why every single leftist political organization isn't laser focused on efforts to solve this question given that it's foundational to any kind of political organizing at any level. Obviously this especially includes social media and the manipulation of algorithms for online content. How do we resolve the media question?News 3/20/24

I've spent the last 20 years of my life wage slaving, with the hopes of being able to afford my own home or condo. I've managed to save up hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Completely priced out. Rents are sky rocketing. What good is all of my capital? It's only good for ever-more expensive slop. A tiny 350 sq/ft one bedroom condo still goes for a million dollars.

>For Reagan not only saw communists as parricides, but also as extremely active sexually-completely in contrast to the actual sexual code in most communist countries. For instance, when he ran for Governor of California, one of the central themes of his campaign was “the mess at Berkeley,” a place where, he said, they held “sexual orgies so vile I can-not describe them to you,” promising if elected to “investigate the charges of communism and blatant sexual misbehavior on the Berkeley campus.” A good part of the reason why he was elected was that, as one biographer put it, “hidden away in the hearts of parents was the fear that their own children might one day go away to college, grow beards and march against authority.”… Reagan promised these voters that his first targets as Governor would be the students at Berkeley, “advocates of sexual orgies, drug usage, and filthy speech,” who wanted only to “disrupt the academic community” and who therefore must be brought under control immediately. The situation at Berkeley, he told a woman’s club in April of 1966, was now so bad that their “morality gap is so great that we can no longer ignore it.” He had proof, he said, that the Alameda County District Attorney had just investigated a student dance which had turned into “an orgy,” where they had displayed on a giant screen “pictures of men and women, nude, in sensuous poses, provocative, fondling.” Since Reagan had waved a piece of paper in the air during the speech, saying that he had the report of the DA’s investigation “in his hand,” curious reporters later asked the DA for a copy, only to be told that “my office made no investigations of the college dance.” - Lloyd deMause, "REAGAN’S AMERICA"Is this a leak?

>Critics, attacking Marxism, accuse it of maintaining that development is performed according to Hegelian triads. According to them, development takesplace in the following way. At the beginning of the development of any process, it appears as a thesis, as something positive. This thing generates its own particular opposite – its antithesis. Further development unifies, in a way, the thesis and antithesis, that is, comes out as a synthesis. Thus development of any object takes places in three stages which form a “triad”: thesis, antithesis, synthesis. By these positions Hegel wanted to confirm the law of development through the struggle of opposites, transition of one phenomenon into another, its opposite, and transition of the former into such opposite, in which is included both preceding stages of development. Hegel’s positions contain profound thinking, which was grasped and developed by Marx and Engels. Engels wrote that the negation of the negation – “a very simple procedure, performed everywhere every day, which every child can understand as soon as the mysterious junk in which the old idealistic philosophy wrapped itself is stripped off […].”2the iranian monarchy is still alive, unfortunatly

If your political ideology doesn't provide benefits to those with children or try to be of appeal to those with families and children, don't be surprised if your politics fail to haul in much popularity. Parenthood mandates that the parents must believe in the future, and that they must make the world sufficiently decent for those who come after. Is this group not the natural ally of the progressive revolutionary Communists? And what does it say about your ideology's goals, if people abandon it once they have families and people that they must provide for?

I am not fundamentally an anti-Semite because I recognize the history of Jews being funneled into positions of junkerism and finance after being systematically barred from other professions by Christians in the Medieval era. I also recognize that blacks and browns aren’t disposed to violence and crime by nature but are instilled with nihilism and the passion for transgression by the conditions of ghettoism and poverty doled out to them in order to neutralize their liberation movements.Crime and Punishment
It's been a long while since we had this thread. I am trying to come up with something tangible and usable that doesn't rely on infringing on someone's bodily autonomy and isn't cruel or unusual. The Anarchist ideas seem to go from "there will be community enforced rules and rehab" to "there will be no rules and everyone will just accept that". Of course, my personal pick are no rules and no consequences because I personally like fucking around and not finding out, but I want a system of dealing with crime that is the best compromise between "let people do as they please" and "we need some security". Any ideas and texts are welcome. From popular to obscure, let's discuss!BARGAINING STAGE: REACHED
Lloyd Austin Doubts Protective Value Of NATOHello comrades
Today i made a thread about communal showers on /pol/, to showcase how the average /pol/tards are all closted homosexuals, the thread was pretty eye opening as it demonstrated the level of mental gymnastics these subhumans would go through simply to prove its totally not gay to shower with other men and if you dont do it you’re a “faggot”.Why does everyone hate on liberals so much?
I feel like we can definitely convert liberals into leftists but nobody seems to bother trying and every leftist I see just hates on them. Neo nazis don't sit around talking about how much they hate conservatives, they're super friendly to conservatives and are able to convert a lot of them. Why don't we do the same? The average liberal trying to go further left would be scared off immediately.myth of the century

Hello, I just need a few words of advice right now. I'm planning to give out leaflets tomorrow on the street for my organisation that I am trying to start, however I have no experience of anything like this on top of suffering from a lot of social anxiety. I was going to do it today but found I couldn't, but I will do it tomorrow. If anyone could give me good resources and advice on what to say, I would be very thankful. In general I need some words of encouragement as I am working totally alone in an enviroment where nobody even remotely agrees with me. In fact, telling me that I would be a coward if I didn't is good enough. Thank you <3Imperial Outpost Countries

We are hurling towards a great crisis. The unipolar capitalist order is returning to a precarious balance of great powers. This transition will be accompanied by a major economic crisis in the Euroatlancist, but in particular, EU economic bloc. Its clear that the old imperialist state is running on its last reserves and will have to reorganize itself to regain vitality. This will lead to the financial and industrial capitalist consolidating power and turning the bourgeois dictatorship, if need be, towards fascism.News 2/26/24

Hello. Britbong with no clue about American politics here. This question is for the Americans. A left wing guy I know from the US tells me that if Trump became candidate for the Republicans, over say Hayley. it would be a GOOD thing because it would damage the party; i.e. primary polling data shows that more people are likely to vote AGAINST the Republicans. He even says that it will reduce the power of te party in both houses, as it will lead to Trump and Putin loyalists being ousted more quickly.Kayfabe Theory

Is the "middle-class" identity conducive to fascism? Despite Western political discourse being fixated what's supposedly best for the "middle-class" nobody in Western capitalist societies actually wants to be "middle-class," everyone wants to be rich. However being wealthy in relation to others requires an unequal distribution of assets by definition and the vast majority of people can't achieve that because the economic class structure is elitist and exclusionary by design. Despite bourgeois propaganda nobody believes their line that they deserve their gross amounts of wealth because they're the best of society. So because "middle-class" types want to be rich or famous like the bourgeois but can't they cope by reproducing the structure of the economic hierarchy in terms of identity instead, so that they can be the bourgeois in their racial / sexual / religious / etc. pyramid instead of facing (what they see as) the debasement of normal human mediocrity.Looking for video of Ukrainian nationalist diaspora, Holodomor narrative

marxism, while initially presenting itself as a liberating force against the oppressive structures of capitalism, ultimately falls victim to its own internal contradictions and dialectical tensions.

Zionism has its roots in Moses Hess' religious-racial supremacist Jewish "socialist" theology. Herzl said he wouldn't have hit upon Zionism if not for Hess. And Judaism's concept of Jews being the chosen people is inherently ethnoreligiously supremacist. Why do communists deny this and say Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism? It's like saying German culture had no influence on Nazism.I am going insane

I've been reading lots of Nick Land in the last months and his work had convinced me, that I had to reposotion my self on the (supposed) contradiction of reality/fiction. I mean, look at our current cyberpunk world, Nick was probably right. The future is cyborg-hybridization. We see, how powerful technocapital is. Consider, he wrote this stuff 30 years ago. So the main idea of Land is hyperstition, which basically means, there is no difference between fiction and reality. Keep this mindset and everything you read, everything becomes theory. Yes, THEORY in the leftypol sense. Example: The dimensional merge theory by Chris Chan. Holy shit, could you believe, what kind of based theories this guy is potentially able to write?? Another example: Lately I was playing Splatoon 3 and in the menu, you can read the story of Alterna. Holy shit, this real/fictional theory is so good!
