Israel has literally been bombing Lebanese territory for almost a year now, they just blew up random civilians in Lebanon, and now it is heavily implied that they are preparing an invasion if Lebanon. At this point, there is no way that Hezbollah alone is prepared to resist Israeli aggression, surely the official Lebanese government and military is prepared as well?

Also, what is the evidence that the War in Donbass was an act of genocide on the part of Ukraine, and that Ukraine had provoked Russia? Once again, I am asking in good faith, I am merely looking for the truth.

Not sure when I'll be back, probably a month or two. I want to focus on other stuff besides politics and economics.

Title says most of it. Although I could be wrong, it seems like the CPK is more successful than your average modern communist party. What are the current prospects for revolution in Kenya like?

Seems like the next U.S. president could very well be their equivalent of Gorbachev.

Sounds to me like America's going to fully take the mask off and go fascist in a year or two.

For people living in non-imperialist nations, the fall of imperialism will probably make life somewhat easier, especially since it will make the transition to socialism much, much easier. Many of us do not live in a communist country and do not have the opportunity or desire to move to one. Therefore, we must stay at home to fight to liberate our homeland. Because of how bad life is going to decline, what can we do to survive financially, mentally, physically, socially, etc? What can we do in order to help liberate ourselves and our nations? Perhaps we can look to our comrades many decades ago who conducted successful socialist revolutions in the past for inspiration, like in Cuba, China, Tsarist Russia, African nations, Indochina, Korea, etc. They were fighting in conditions much more dire than ours, or possibly even more dire than our future situation.

I am definitely not the only person who thinks that. There are many people who share similar sentiments, maybe even including you, dear reader. Nostalgia is a very common feeling, just look at how many Russians want the USSR back! Having been born in 2005, I pretty much grew up with the internet going mainstream, with YouTube being created the same year I was born. Back when it was new, it was mainly used by hobbyists that wanted to show off ~~pirated anime episodes~~ cool and/or funny things they made for fun. (Forgive me if this just sounds like a rose-tinted petty bourgeois fantasy.) Then you know what happened next. Like so many fun stuff under capitalism, like JoeMarx has mentioned recently with video games, the internet was commodified and made into a dumbed-down addictive tool for instant gratification, all for profit. EDIT: I am referring specifically to web culture, not the actual technology of the internet.

So we know that the USA can only avoid paying their debt because the USD is the world reserve currency, but once they actually have to pay it, it's going to be hell. How is China going to deal with their own debt? Because it seems like they have a *lot* to pay back.

Personally, I think it's part of the petty-bourgeois delusion that a person can become part of the capitalist elite instead of realizing that they have more in common with the working class.

It's needless to say that climate change is a very scary topic that is a lot to handle. There are a lot of very bleak predictions, and even optimistic predictions will significantly disrupt humanity for at least some time. What are your tips on how I (and many others) can cope with this? (P.S. It's like I make a new post every day, isn't it?)

We already know it will fuck up the U.S. economy. How badly will this affect their allies as well? Bonus: What are other possible geopolitical effects from this?

With the Mujahideen (Taliban and al-Qaeda), it was obvious: attack the Soviets. But why ISIS? When they overthrew Saddam, why would they fund a group that would attack their own puppet government?

Here I am, asking pretty much the same question again, only a year later. I ask again because conditions have changed a lot even in as little as a year. BRICS is becoming more powerful, state enterprises are becoming stronger in Russia, the USSR remains a positive memory to the majority of Russians and Belarusians. What are your thoughts and predictions? I'll try not to ask the same question again to prevent from annoying yall.

I've heard many people basically say that the climate crisis is what's going to force the imperial core to choose between socialism or barbarism, if they haven't chosen already. What are your thoughts on the manner?

We've already talked about school and how we can change it in the past. But today I want to discuss a specific topic related to school: bullying. As a neurodivergent person, I've had my own share of bullies pick on me in the past, two of which I was lucky not to get into physical fights with. There are so, so many people who have had even worse experiences with bullying. In school, children/adolescents pretty much have to be around each other, making it more difficult to deal with bullying. How can socialism deal with this issue?

I asked earlier about why Stalin was so propagandized, but I'd argue that not even he is as propagandized as the DPRK's leaders.

Sequel to my previous post asking how the Anglosphere and Japan would be decolonized.

Comradeship // Freechat fire86743 • 6 months ago • 88%

USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and similar nations are settler-colonial nations where the indigenous people have been genocided to the point where settlers vastly outnumber them. How is decolonization going to work in this situation? Bonus: How is a post-revolution Japan going to reconcile with the Ainu and Ryukyu people?

I'm looking for an answer to this question that is based in Marxist analysis. You know what I'm talking about. Job positions that required advanced degrees when they previously required undergraduate degrees, positions that require bachelors degrees when they used to just require high school, positions that previously had no formal education requirements but now require a high school diploma, etc. Along with jobs that require more experience when they previously required less or even none. The most common answer I find is more advanced technology but I don't think that's the full picture. Can you guys explain?
