The slightly edited statement was released by the Hamas movement on Oct. 10, 2023. The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has called on the Palestinian people, the Arab and Muslim nations, and the free peoples of the world to participate in the Al-Aqsa Flood Friday (Oct. 13). In l
"Israel is alleged to be using internationally banned White Phosphorus bombs on Gaza. The use of this weapon in civilian areas is universally recognized as a war crime. The Israeli government has also stoped issuing warnings before it bombs residential buildings in this the most densely populated area of the world, where half the inhabitants are children."
The time of goth communism has finally arrived. I have waited so long for femme goth Stalin and now the time has come. I am prepared to take this title and lead us forward into victory.
Resources on Ukrainian neo-nazis.
Does anyone have books/long length documentaries on the fascist groups currently active in Ukraine? With the recent surge in nazi apologia, I feel it would be best to educate myself more on their history in Ukraine.
US House passes stopgap measure to avert government shutdown | Al Jazeera
The House voted 335-91 to fund the government for another 45 days, with more Democrats than Republicans supporting it.
"Democrats overwhelmingly backed the eleventh-hour Republican measure to keep federal funding going, albeit with a freeze on Washington’s massive aid to Ukraine."
Is there really even a difference between the two? I think not.
So many articles from liberal sources are like this and it is always frustrating. With the c*nadian ss member being the source of many recent examples.
This reminded me I used to have a lot of quotes saved. I should search for them and share them here.
Absolute evildoers.
Vijay Prashad perhaps, and his book Red Star Over the Third World.
Especially when contrasted with what was posted today about China's solar power developments.

Drawing on extensive archival records, this digital memorial allows analysis of the ships, traders, and captives in the Atlantic slave trade. The three databases below provide details of 36,000 trans-Atlantic slave voyages, 10,000 intra-American ventures, names and personal information. You can read...
"The SlaveVoyages website is a collaborative digital initiative that compiles and makes publicly accessible records of the largest slave trades in history. Search these records to learn about the broad origins and forced relocations of more than 12 million African people who were sent across the Atlantic in slave ships, and hundreds of thousands more who were trafficked within the Americas. Explore where they were taken, the numerous rebellions that occurred, the horrific loss of life during the voyages, the identities and nationalities of the perpetrators, and much more."
Absolutely haunting how many countries are marked yellow on this map.

If a large marxist-leninist party does not exist, this may be the next best option given your cirumstances. You are also in the imperial core, so I think it would be very difficult to find a party that does not have at least some large issues in this regard.. If we do not have the means to have our own organization yet, it would seem somewhat reductive to try to create one, given how much time and energy that requires.
I tend to think of what Lenin said regarding reactionary trade unions. They need to be worked with as they are the main proletarian organizations. Trying to create your own "pure" union often serves the risk of just removing potential connections you could have made otherwise.
It really depends on the social conditions what path regarding these kinds of less ideologically coherent parties should be taken I think.

Hundreds Set to Launch Hunger Strike Inside Stewart Detention Center | UNICORN RIOT
Hundreds of people detained in Georgia's Stewart Detention Center plan for hunger strike in response to inedible food and inhumane conditions.
Ohhh. I assume this is generally the case with most social media. And for mastodon especially, it seems structured around individuals in a semi-competitive way which makes this more severe. It is why lemmy is the only social media I have ever actively used.
How is it antisocial? I have never used it before.
Marx is far more difficult for me to read through than Lenin, which is why I have read little from him directly so far. What are you reading now? I am going through capital volume 1 at the moment.
The only services I use are lemmy, matrix and xmpp. I have similar issues with finding queer spaces. I know there is a genzedong matrix space (genzedong.xyz). But aside from that, I do not know of anything else that is active in matrix/xmpp that is both lgbtqa+ focused and not too liberal.
When I am reading more casually, I do not save anything, but when I am focused on actually studying, I search to see if there are any study guides online and take notes every few paragraphs. I think for everyone, there are differences in how receptive to note taking they may be, or how notes may be taken. I sometimes take notes as if I am attempting to explain a passage to someone else, and other times it is completely incoherent to both myself and anyone who reads it.
What marxist/leftist news sources do you follow?
I have been attempting to update my rss feeds with new sites. So far, I have: Liberation News, Bulatlat, Monthly Review, Kawsachun News, Latino Rebels, Unicorn Riot, Tricontinental, Workers World, Hood Communist, Democracy Now, Peoples Dispatch, WAFA, CGTN and Granma.
WAFA, and Granma do not seem to have functional RSS feeds and I could not setup CGTN's feed properly.
Chinese Spy Network Targets Local Ohioan | China Bad Times
It was a chilly Autumn evening when 59 year old Cincinnati resident Robert Dale heard a knock on his door. "I was sittin' in my recliner, just watchin' football, then all of a sudden I got a knock on my door. I thought it was my grandkids..."
When Robert Dale opened his door, it was indeed his grandchildren. But he knew something was wrong the moment he saw their expressions.
"I tried to talk to them, but they would even listen to me. They were all on their smart phones and nothing I said or did would get em to put those darn things down.
When I got a glimpse of what was on their smart phones, my heart sank right into my chest."
A shocking discovery: his grandchildren, like so many other misguided youths, have began using TikTok - Xi Jinping's latest effort to keep a close eye on the personal lives of Americans with a surveillance system unlike any other seen before it.
Ohio Lawmaker Jebediah Flang had this to say when interviewed by CBT reporters on Friday: "Hooligans and youngsters crave their tiktok dances and their immediate grams. But beyond this naive quest for what their foolish minds label "fun", lies a dark truth that they refuse to acknowledge, and that truth is that with each " tik tok asmr challenge ", they inch just that much closer towards Chinese sympathies. One minute, they are quoting the latest "meme" as they call them (Whatever ever happened to the funny pages?) and the next, they are quoting the dictator Mao Zedong like any patriotic man would with George Washington. Really scary stuff."
Incredible words from an incredible man.
The growing trend among the unthinking generation has startled lawmakers like Jebediah Flang and miniscule average joes like Robert Dale into action. Each taking their own paths to ensuring the safety of our besieged nation.
God bless CBT. God bless Unbiased Journalism. God bless our imperial protectors.
I am Rebecca Frank, signing off.
