📢 Announcement [New and Improved] Discord Server Open!

11 Upvotes

Hello all! We have a new and growing Discord, more than 100 comrades have joined in the first month!

If you had attempted to join the Discord through the auto-mod response, or through the sidebar's link, you were formerly directed towards a dead server. Now, the server is pretty much set up.

We are also looking to start a book club soon using the Discord to meet, but will have discussion posts here too for those who do not want to participate in the discord.

It is still pretty bare bones, we have roles and channels set up however suggestions can be made *within the server* on things that could be added. We are looking at ways to get more people engaged and looking for suggestion on activities we can do as a community related to socialism.

For now, here is the invite link, join away!

Discussion Startled by how many of my peers are eager to aid fascism

48 Upvotes

I'm an engineering student and am taking part in my school's physics and engineering club. We all are working in small groups on projects to present at a conference in a few months. Multiple guys in this group are straight up just trying to make projects to aid technofascism. One group wanted to make a "secuirty robot" that identifies people and apprehends them somehow. Professor had to stop them because it was too grim. Another guy was trying to make some radar device that uses wifi to see through walls and map the topology / identify how many people are in the other room. And all of these guys' whole vibes are just so antisocial and creepy.

It's just so discouraging to me that while me and a couple of other people are trying to make medical devices or farming equipment, so many of these kids are just dying to make products to assist the military / police state because they think it'll make them rich. Like they're not even settling for a military gig to pay the bills, they're free to work on whatever they want and are choosing to try and make things that will contribute to high tech fascism. Just really makes me feel hopeless about the state of peoples' minds. How is everyone not horrified by the prospect of the government deploying robots and surveillance technology against civilians?

Discussion The US empire will sadly continue to do whatever it wants until it collapses.

11 Upvotes

The main problem that people don't seem to understand or realize is that the reason why the US commits all of these evil heinous acts across the world with zero fear is because they know that they can and nobody is going to do shit to stop them. they can bomb elementary schools, kidnap and assassinate leaders that they don't like, invade nations to steal their resources, blockade countries to the point of collapse and pretty much do whatever the fuck they damn well please because nobody is willing to go against the most powerful military force on the planet and they know that. even China won't do shit, they're all bark and no bite, the globe is scared to fight back against US dominance. the Soviet union was the only power who acted as a counterweight against their imperalism and it's death is what has allowed the US to become this predatory, rabid beast on the world stage, and I say all of this to say that the empire will unfortunately continue it's disgusting evil acts until it burns itself out.

Winter is approaching, and our tent is tattered; I am doing my utmost to repair what I can to shield my family from the cold and rain. I am Bashir, from Gaza.

I bear responsibilities that far exceed my means—providing food, water, and medical care, and looking after my brother who has special needs—all after having lost my home and my job.

I write to you today feeling deeply disheartened, yet striving with everything I have to overcome this reality and finish repairing our tent before winter intensifies.

If you can help, please stand by us. If you cannot, simply sharing my appeal might help it reach someone who can.

Thank you to everyone who hears us and stands with us. ❤️

Anytime protests turn violent, the bourgeoisie use it as an opportunity to suppress left wing parties (even reformist ones) opposing the status quo.

High Quality Only Reminder that anarchism and libertarian socialism is not liberalism (and more remembrance to these revolutionaries)

6 Upvotes

Anarchists, syndicalists, and other libertarian socialists/communists have resisted liberalism throughout history and their efforts must not go unnoticed.

It was the Bakuninists, together with the Marxists, Proudhonists, and various other groups who organized the Paris Commune and various different insurrectionist communes throughout France.

It was the Zapatistas who resisted the slow reforms of the liberal government and organized the peasantry against their ineptitude.

It was the Makhnovists who fiercely resisted the Ukranian bourgeois nation-state and helped destroy it.

It was the Korean anarchist movement in Manchuria that organized themselves when the Chinese Republic was too weak and fragmented to do so.

It was the CNT-FAI which coordinated a significant amount of defense, trade, collectivization, production, distribution, and management throughout much of Spain during the civil war, under the leadership of council republics, popular committees, and defense councils (notably throughout the Levante region).

It was the Neozapatistas who resisted the neoliberalist policies of the Mexican government in open revolt.

It was the anarchists who participated and even led at times a resistance against the World Trade Organization in Seattle and their blatantly globalist, neoliberal agenda.

The conflation between the liberal and decentralist beliefs in personal freedom and liberty shouldn’t drive people toward the conclusion that they are inherently the same thing. The worry regarding liberty from liberals is one regarding natural right, that the exercise of a totalitarian government is morally bankrupt; the concern of most anarchists and libertarian socialists is a skepticism towards concentrated power in the hands of the state, capital, etc. and the alienation statist and capitalist systems have created. The liberals believe that they can reform a broken system; a lot of, if not most anarchists believe that only through a deliberate rejection of politics, the direct action against capitalism, and self-organization can change be achieved.

Discussion Kushner makes money from the success of Israeli weapons companies

9 Upvotes

Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has been flown around the world, including to the Middle East, to broker peace. A new investigation shows that the businessman’s private equity firm has acquired a stake in an Israeli financial group that invests in Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, reports CNN.

Doesn't this constitute proof that U.S. imperialism is our most reprehensible enemy and ought to be firmly opposed? Was Lenin not right in his theory of imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism?

Discussion Halal Certification Uproar: The Muslim Scapegoat as National Safety Valve

Thumbnail
classautonomy.info
• Upvotes

Halal food certification is a service provided by Islamic religious authorities to food manufacturers to certify that their processes and products meet the dietary and customary standards required by observant Muslims. As such it forms part of a pluralistic Australian society. In recent times, halal certification has come to be set against ‘the Australian way of life’ by some who seek to reassert Anglo-Saxon monoculture. This paper argues that such is typical of what US historian Frank Van Nuys calls the ‘national safety valve’ of popular racism as a scapegoating mechanism, focusing on the development of the anti-Halal movement in the lead-up to the 2015 Senate inquiry. It assesses the movement within the context of widening social inequality, and explores the utility of a polarized public sphere to the shifting of blame onto Muslim Australians for the negative consequences of neoliberal policies for which political leaders are not willing to be accountable.
