Italian dockworkers threaten Israel cargo ban if Gaza flotilla blocked
Speaking at a rally on the docks of Genoa, one of Europe's largest ports, a dockworker representing the USB union said that if communication with the flotilla were lost “even for just 20 minutes,” port workers would immediately block all shipments to Israel, regardless of their content. “Around mid-September, these boats will arrive near the coast of Gaza. If we lose contact with our boats, with our comrades, even for just 20 minutes, we will shut down all of Europe,” said the dockworker, a video of whom has circulated widely online and in Italian media but who has not been identified.

Palestinian Resistance Ambushes Zionists in al-Zaytoun, Gaza City
Seven Zionist soldiers were injured overnight when an explosive device struck a Namer armored personnel carrier in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City, according to Zionist Army Radio on Saturday. The Zionist Broadcasting Corporation reported that the vehicle belonged to the 99th Division and the 7th Brigade, operating in the northern Gaza Strip. Local Palestinian sources described fierce overnight confrontations between Palestinian resistance fighters and occupation invading units attempting to advance into the area.

Houthis fire missile at Israeli-owned tanker after prime minister killed
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency, which monitors shipping in the region, disputed the claim, reporting the missile missed its target on Sunday. “The crew witnessed a splash in close proximity to their vessel from an unknown projectile and heard a loud bang,” UKMTO said, adding all staff were unharmed and the tanker had resumed its voyage.

US reportedly suspends visa approvals for nearly all Palestinian passport holders
The United States has suspended visa approvals for nearly everyone who holds a Palestinian passport, the New York Times reported on Sunday. The restrictions go beyond those Donald Trump’s administration had previously announced on visitors from Gaza. They would prevent Palestinians from traveling to the United States for medical treatment, attending college and business travel, the newspaper reported, citing unidentified officials. The state department said two weeks ago that it was halting all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza while it conducts “a full and thorough” review, a move that has been condemned by pro-Palestinian groups.

California’s Democratic governor leads the charge in expanding state repression
Under the guise of public safety and compassion, the Democratic governor has placed the California Highway Patrol (CHP) at the center of two major new enforcement regimes: a statewide “crime suppression” expansion and a “homeless encampment clearance” task force. These measures are being marketed as alternatives to Trump’s deployments of federal forces into major U.S. cities, but in substance, they mirror their basic functions. Far from opposing the authoritarian measures emanating from Washington, Newsom’s actions mimic them, signaling a growing alignment between the Democratic Party and the Trump administration on the fundamental issue: the use of state repression to deal with the social crisis created by capitalism.Post too long.

Indonesia: the wheel of revolution has turned
Within a week, what began as demonstrations with a semi-insurrectionary character have turned into an open revolutionary uprising which shows no sign of stopping. It is not only tearing down government buildings and police stations, but more importantly, it is shattering the mass stupor that has kept the people in chains. A revolution has begun. Louis XVI: “Is this a rebellion? La Rochefoucauld: “No, Sire. This is a revolution.” Scenes of burned parliamentary buildings, government offices, and above all, police stations have flooded the media. But most striking are the countless live broadcasts from the millions of demonstrators, which truly capture the revolutionary spirit of the moment. These images call to mind the scenes of the 1998-99 revolutionary period. The first provincial parliamentary building to be set ablaze by the people was in Makassar, the day after the police killed a 21-year-old ride-share driver, Affan Kurniawan. This was quickly followed by similar scenes in Tegal, Solo, Surakarta, Bandung, and West Nusa Tenggara. In Pekalongan, the action began as a peaceful vigil where people mourned and laid flowers for Affan Kurniawan. But it immediately turned into a conflagration, as the furious anger of the masses burst forth. The list grows longer by the day, as more demonstrations and escalations unfold. As we write these lines, the masses have already added Brebes, Pekalongan, Cilacap and Kediri to the list – we are struggling to keep up with the rapid developments, which are the very essence of a revolution.

CVS Strangled, Then Swallowed, Rite Aid
Just days after CVS Caremark was slapped with a $290 million fine for defrauding Medicare, bankruptcy trustees representing Rite Aid sued the pharmacy benefit manager for nearly twice that amount for allegedly operating an unlawful and anticompetitive prescription drug profit “scheme.” The new complaint filed this month asserts that CVS Caremark “devastated” Rite Aid by overcharging an estimated $500 million in fraudulent “clawback” penalties — fees that CVS Caremark demanded long after drug prescriptions were filled.

the world works on looks. looks are important. we human will always fully think and associate people with lighter skin color as looking better, better to look at, and is more beautiful/pretty/handsome.
we all also associate lighter skin color with being more feminine for women consider feminine. we can never change this. not a single thing anyone do and say will ever change this. you can never change how people think like this. man or women everybody think like this.

now then have and obvious answer. for the sake of use call it the “Blond Path". we need to produce white people with blue eyes and green eyes and blond hair and ginger hair. the quota would be 10 times the world population including the world population of whites with natural color hair and eyes. To do this we ignore or erase things that are a hindrance such as marriage, monogamy, family unit, relationship, and romance. Production does not stop there, we also need to group ethnic whites together with the same ethnic whites (Ex: Scotts with Scotts, serbs with serbs, and etc). Although this one is of a different program. This program also require us to get rid of the same hindrance the former program have. Both program do not see heigh, body or looks. As long as your face are not horrendous you are good, so even if your not handsome and beautiful you will still be in the program.

As part of the Blond path and to prevent dehumanization and other such unwanted idea,we will educate people. Specifically we will tell them about that one zoning infrastructure real-estate thing (I forgot the name of it) that put black and brown people in place were the chemicals,paint ,water ,walls and environment in general are doing things to their head (mind and brain) and body. In general everybody need to be educated about racist laws and myth and other such things. Other then that we need to eliminate race science and race bias in science.

In short. The world need to have industry level production of ethnic whites and more importantly whites with blue eyes, green eyes, blond hair and red hair because the world work on looks. But we also educate people so they don’t believe in race science and race biased science.

we must advertise this to every rightoid, boomers, and whites.

I am speaking as a brown.

President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the National Guard in each state to create a quick-response force to quell protests and deter crime after using troops to assist with security during immigration protests in Los Angeles and patrol in Washington, D.C., as part of a crackdown on crime.

He said other cities, specifically Chicago, should be asking him for help.

“I think we should really let them have their city, let their city go to hell” and then they will ask us for help, Trump told reporters at the White House during a news conference announcing several executive orders.

“These people [troops and federal law enforcement], eventually, they’re going to have to be appreciated for what they are doing, and they’re going to have to be appreciated by the officials that are really happy when we go in because they’ve lost control of their place,” he said.

The executive order about the National Guard signed Monday calls on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to oversee “each state’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized and available to assist federal, state and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law.”

Each state should find an appropriate number of troops to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization and have the resources and training needed to serve nationwide, according to the order titled, “Additional Measures to Address the Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia.”

More than a week ago, Trump deployed 2,000 troops from the D.C. National Guard and six supporting states onto the streets of the nation’s capital to stop what he has referred to as an emergency crime wave. However, D.C. police data stated violent crime is down in the city by 26% compared with last year — which had the lowest levels of violent crimes in 30 years.

Since Guard troops have been on patrol in Washington, there have been no killings in the city, Trump said.

The minimum wage increases ($15 now campaigns etc) started way before Sanders and were almost entirely kickstarted on the group by orgs like Socialist Alternative Party and Working Families Party.

Pretty much nothing else Sanders wanted has come to fruition and minimum wage increases happen in many states without public pressure anyway. Hell, even George Bush raised the minimum wage.

Instead what we got was a two time primary loser, and a two time billionaire as president, exactly what he didn't want.

I attended a few Bernie campaign meetings and it was very depressing. Mostly super old Democrats pushing 50+ mulling about and doing nothing. They'd hire a college student wanting debt relief, who in turn would bring in a few more college students to do phone banking. The social atmosphere of the campaign was dismal and there was no excitement.

Immediately after Sanders would lose and election, my local Sanders campaign office became a de facto Clinton campaign office. The upper class phone bankers who came for a bit of student debt relief were then ordered to start making calls for Clinton.

Both campaigns basically funnelled people into Clinton and Harris' campaign, the latter of which was the most right-wing Democratic campaign I've seen since Gore. She punched left and down, ran ads against even the smallest competitive left-wing electoral organization, and promoted a bill that defined "affordable housing" as $400,000.

The only organizational remnant of his effort weren't intention. The DSA seems to have benefited the most, seeing a 16x increase in membership over years. Even a cursory look at the organization shows a highly dysfunctional group of former Tumblr users who have no idea why they are there or what they want. Because they aren't a party, they just bicker about who to endorse all day, and now most of their alliances in state legislative bodies and Congress or either gone or dying.

Lastly, the Socialist Parties that do run their own candidates ran into larger non-socialist parties and there's probably only like a few hundred people in actual socialist parties nowadays.

question. I've seen a bunch of "scandalous" rumors thrown at this party specifically by twitterite dramaratis, and to date none of them have proven to hold any water. It comes across as the typical "Sanders supporters are misogynist" or "Labour has an anti-semitism problem" tier nonsense.

>Normal people take one look at that and see cult vibes, not politics.
I've been talking to folks in the PSL and about the PSL for over a year straight, and I've never even heard the specific stuff you're talking about. The idea that "normal people" are even seeing these rumors is laughable, although I'm sure that the drama people would like everyone to see the rumors.

>That’s why PSL is capped below 3rd or 4th place in presidential elections
The primary problem for the PSL has nothing to do with internal party policy, and everything to do with the way media institutions in the US deliberately ignore or slander parties outside of the two party system, and the way in which the electoral system is purposefully rigged to shut them out.

For those who don't know. And I guess most don't know since this board is like 'lmao weed' gen 'zer former 4channers, America used to have a Socialist Party that won partisan elections on their own ballot line.

This included two Congressmen in the early 20th century.

The party eventually committed suicide for many different reasons, after a slow decline in success, and those committed to continuing to run candidates formed SPUSA or Socialist Party USA.

While those familiar with SPUSA today may consider it among a basket of small socialist parties, for decades, the media used "Socialist Party" interchangeably to refer to SPUSA exclusively, mostly for historical reasons.

Their electoral history since their refounding in the early 1970s is dismal. Since then, they haven't won a single partisan race. Each time they won a local seat, which hasn't been more than 12 times ever, their party name wasn't on the ballot cuz it was for some school board or some shit.

tl;dr NO ONE is electing socialists under a true socialist party banner and haven't since at least the 1970s.

It's a political failure, and the whole socialist label is clearly a curse.

I completely agree, in fact it is my tireless crusade to get people to stop using the braindead term "ranked choice voting" which easily conflates the two. An important poiint can be made which is reflected in the graph: Countries which use a combination of IRV and STV such as Ireland and Australia tend to have only a bit more overall party representation because their IRV bodies function to undermine the party-enriching aspects of their STV bodies.

>regional politics
Your observation is also true of Canada and UK, but the thing to understand is the trend actually still holds at a smaller geographic scope. While these countries have not yet degenerated to absolute two-party domination at a national level, if you look closer what actually occurs is there are typically still only two parties vying for power in a given discrete region.

>there are typically still only two parties vying for power in a given discrete region

no, and that's why it's not a law

In India, politics usually doesn’t follow the “only two parties vying for power” models. Elections in discrete regions are frequently multi-party races where three or more parties compete seriously.

For example, in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, and Congress all contest elections, making it a four-cornered fight.

In West Bengal, the main battle is between Trinamool Congress, BJP, Congress, and the Left parties.

In Tamil Nadu, both DMK and AIADMK are strong, but Congress, BJP, and smaller regional parties also play key roles.

Because of these dynamics, India’s democracy is considered a multi-party system, directly contradicting the idea that only two parties dominate a given region and a very powerful argument against what is just some guy's theory.

The Kent State massacre was a regular crime. Had it been committed as part of, or under the auspices of, the "war effort," or had it been committed in or anywhere near the battlefield, or had it been committed by occupying soldiers in the place they were occupying, then it would have been a war crime.

Obviously Mai Lai and things like that were war crimes. Mai Lai is crazy - growing up I don't remember hearing as much about how the American soldiers were gang raping women and children during that.

India’s opposition parties protest against a controversial electoral roll revision
India’s opposition accuses the Election Commission of India of rushing through a mammoth electoral roll revision in eastern Bihar state, saying the exercise could render vast numbers of citizens unable to vote. The revision of nearly 80 million voters involves strict documentation requirements from citizens, triggering concerns it could lead to the exclusion of vulnerable groups, especially those who are unable to produce the paperwork required to prove their citizenship.

Israeli Tourist Boom in Sri Lanka’s Arugam Bay Stirs Local Unease
The opposition political parties criticized the government’s alleged tilt toward Israel, pointing to visa-free entry for Israeli tourists as proof that the traditionally pro-Palestinian National People’s Power (NPP) has changed its stance. But the same opposition would likely hit the streets if firm action on Israeli tourists sparked a U.S. tariff snapback or a slump in arrivals. The government is squeezed between values (nonalignment, empathy for Palestinians) and vulnerabilities (dollars, debt, and jobs). In that gap, symbolism often beats substance and enforcement gets deferred.

Largest US socialist organisation passes resolution supporting Palestinian resistance
Sunday’s resolutions contained both political and practical commitments for DSA. Politically, the resolution supports al-Thawabit, or the Palestinian red lines, the unifying principles outlined by the Palestinian Liberation Organisation in 1977. These principles include the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine, the Palestinian right to resist and the right to self-determination. The resolutions also make publicly and consistently opposing the BDS movement, taking money from pro-Israel lobbying groups, and supporting the transfer of funds or weapons to Israel an expellable offence. Elected officials are expected to be held to similar standards by DSA.

Trump to deploy National Guard to D.C. and federalize city police
The news comes on what Trump is calling the "Liberation Day" of D.C., which he has said is "one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world," despite violent crime trending down in the District for the second straight year. 800 National Guard members are being called to D.C., Trump said at a Monday press conference, adding that he may bring in the military "if needed." The D.C. Guard is the country's only National Guard unit reporting exclusively to the president.

Waste from agricultural plant poisoned US town’s water with Pfas, lawsuits allege
Perdue Farms acknowledged that its 300-acre Salisbury, Maryland, operation is polluting local waters, but the chemicals’ sources have not been confirmed. It appears the Pfas is in part also coming from some combination of sludge used as fertilizer and pesticides, attorneys for plaintiffs say.

Interview of Reem Hazan, Politburo member of the Communist Party of Israel, to Rizospastis: "Reactions within Israel are growing"
The weekend 9/10 August edition of “Rizospastis”, Organ of the CC of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), published an interview with Reema Hazan, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Israel (Maki) and head of its International Relations Section. Read below the interview translated into English: “Last night (Thursday) the Israeli cabinet approved the beginning of a full-scale occupation of the Gaza Strip. We warn of the continuation of ethnic cleansing, the war of extermination and the further destruction of Gaza,” Hazan says and continues: “This government, motivated by racial supremacy and messianic fanaticism, must stop. Even those in the Israeli leadership who hesitate to expand the war do so out of concern for their soldiers and their prisoners, not out of concern for committing war crimes against an entire people. Israelis must not accept the continuation of this war and this criminal government. The protests demanding an end to the war and the overthrow of this government must continue. Only with an agreement and a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces can the cessation of the extermination of the Palestinian people be ensured.

Ballard Partners Is the Lobbyist King of the Trump Era
The Securities and Exchange Commission, overseen by crypto millionaire Paul Atkins, just agreed to drop its lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange Ripple after Biden-era regulators sued the firm for alleged securities fraud. Ripple, which will still have to pay a $125 million fine, gave $4.9 million to Trump’s inauguration in January and paid nearly $800,000 to lobby the federal government in the first half of fiscal 2025. That included $260,000 spent lobbying on issues related to crypto regulation paid to DC’s newly crowned lobbying king, Ballard Partners. Ballard Partners was founded in 1998 by wealthy conservative donor Brian Ballard — a major MAGA fundraiser since Trump’s first cPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

How would you analyze the Western world's more recent crop of imbeciles that oligarchic systems keep installing into power? Are these systems so universally broken now that they cannot even tolerate thinking figureheads? What would Michael Parenti's take on all this be?

Biden and Trump come across as deliberately-picked senile, amoral stooges who specifically were picked in order to unquestioningly and unthinkingly serve unpopular Zionist/MIC policies. I mean they quite literally are puppets. You don't want an honest person or a deep or even competent thinker in that position, you want someone who will do what you say and go out and pretend to represent the country they're "leader" of.

The politicians in the US congress are the same - the vast, vast, vast majority of them (so vast that even adding the disclaimer that it's "merely" a vast majority and might not be all) are there because they have been put there by lobbyist backers. It's not about smarts or decision making, it's about performing the role decided for them. They're buffoons meant to pretend to represent demographics who their backers have no respect for while actually representing their backers; they're there for the spectacle of politics, to keep any real influence over any kind of meaningful politics out of reach for the masses.

At the top level, could a non-senile person perform the role? It's possible they could find no one who would. The desires of the state are deranged. Obama is the only American president of the past 20+ years who came across as particularly cunning at all; Bush, Trump, and Biden were all buffoons and 2/3 were actively losing their minds while in office.

I also have come to think that the real influence of Zionism over the US (and EU) agenda has come to play an increasing role in all of this; I don't say this under the (wrong) assumption that Zionism never aligned with the interests of the American militaristic Fascism. If it was a fully alien ideology, I do not believe we would have gotten to this point. However, what I assert is that the political and military elites of "Israel" have their own interests and their own alignments which seek to expand their influence beyond that of a colonial client state, and I think that they have broadly succeeded even though their influence in the US still depends on a considerable amount of alignment with the American Fascist MIC project. My point here, though, is this: take a look at Trump or Biden, or even Milei, and then take a look at Mileikowsky. There's a sharp contrast in terms of buffoonishness, although in some ways there is overlap - like Trump, Netanyahu is ultimately a servant of the agenda of his state, for whom there are threats of legal Post too long.

It's interesting that the oligarchies of developing countries seem interested in selecting competent rulers–but only in developing countries that aren't under the thumb of the global hegemon. It's almost as if rule by gibbering idiots is a feature of financialized post-industrial oligarchies and their vassal states. What are the rulers of Singapore (a highly financialized post-industrial economy) like?

Israeli politicians are not puppets because many of the settlers are still bourgeoisie being granted (stolen) private property from the Israeli state. There isn't the same class divide for Israeli citizens as there is amongst American citizens.

I do think the idiots, the rapists and the druggies are deliberately chosen because they're easier to control amongst more developed capitalist economies.

Third worlders bare the brunt of imperialism so they know that politics is a facade which is why they tend towards dictatorships and if you even have the luxury to engage in political matters usually means they come from an elite background or underground nepotism
