I asked this before. Allowing retards to use the reading thread to """debate""" using their faggy-ass sub-literate """libertarian""" cliches was a weird decision, and apparently purely a consequence of us just being very chill.

I don't know if being a communist is larping as a terrorist in an underground organization. It should actually be accessible for the masses, because the masses have to build dual power [in the united states]. Don't forget that dual power is the goal, not just protests or some actions, but building a working alternative to the state.

This is obviously going to take enormous work and there probably aren't any shortcuts considering how atrophied the left has gotten over time.

>there entire methodology of funding is flawed imo
I keep hearing this but only on this website. All the content I've seen from Infrared streams talking about their funding, their cadres simply fund their own activities (transportation, materials etc). And this decentralized way of doing things seems to work for them. What specifically is your problem with their funding (maybe I'm not aware)?

>I don't know if being a communist is larping as a terrorist in an underground organization

I never claimed to be communist, as far as "larping" movements and lone operators have to start somewhere don't they?

>This is obviously going to take enormous work and there probably aren't any shortcuts considering how atrophied the left has gotten over time.

Agreed, and that alone is another issue altogether, exasperating the aforementioned recruitment issue.

>What specifically is your problem with their funding (maybe I'm not aware)

Mostly the same issues others have already pointed out, if an organization is at its roots being 'run like a business' it seems rife for petite bourgeois interest and the rise of career pundants.

Ireland had Sinn fein yet the left in the US is so fractured, there has not been a single unified political wing for actual progressive movement.

>The video states that currently, all necessary expenses for the party's national initiatives are paid out-of-pocket by the leadership (including the executive board and polit bureau). In addition to personal contributions from leadership, revenue is generated through the party's journal and dues paid by reserve members. The speaker emphasizes that the party is not bankrolled by any outside sponsors, donors, or billionaires, and that individual chapters also fund their own activities by pulling money and resources out-of-pocket. (37:21 - 39:08)

Sorry for quoting yt AI but this has nothing to do with being "run like a business" so idk what you are talking about bro

Maybe you are being confused by this part: (transcription mine)

>Now the big question is "what's the strategy for getting funding for the party?". Well we don't have huge mega-donors, we don't have any capitalist patrons, we don't have any billionaires bankrolling us, so we have a strategy that involves a concept called "chapter enterprises". "Chapter enterprises" are cooperative businesses that chapters are going to be running that's basically going to give them an economic existence and therefore because we know how it works in any society to have a political existence we need to have an economic existence. You need a way to actually support with resources your acctivity and sustain that activity. So when it comes to labor organizing, when it comes to community service, when it comes to having a foothold in local politics, if you don't have any kind of economic power what-so-ever, none of those things are possible at least in the long term. For some reason – this still baffles me; Some people found this to be contraversial its just because they don't know about the history of every communist party on earth has always had to contend with economic realities. Most communist parties contend themselves with just collecting dues or just collecting donations, but we are in here for the long haul. We think that this is not going to be something overnight as far as the construction of the proletarian dictatorship and the seizure of power. So it's very important that there is a Communist voice in American politics, that there is a Communist influence, that ther's a seat at the table for the American working class politically. And you have to have some kind of economic existence for that to be possible. So chapter enterprises are central to our strategy to actually be solvent, and to be efficient, and to allow our activity actually be funded and given the proper resources that it needs. Our goal is not profit. If our goal was profit we would not be running a communist party. The income that chapter enterprises makes goes into the party itself, to grow the party itself. So that's basically our model for funding the party.

What I will say is that what you are thinking of as the quote is "chapter enterprises operating as businesses" is really "'Chapter enterprises' are cooperative businesses that chaptePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The OP is not critiquing the concept of gender itself though, they're critiquing transgenderism specifically while supporting cisgenderism.

>>495208
You're missing the meta, and are, dare I say, "spooked".
It's not really gender that's being internalized, it's identity, which is unfalsifiable.
Modern gender discourse ironically is more in line with Egotism than critiques of it are.
Identifying as a woman "pleases their ego" therefore it is true.
You can't make them believe otherwise, which is where you get all this goofy ideological mud wrestling.
It's when millennials and Gen Z try to make their beliefs sound empirically proven is when they get into trouble.
If they were smart they'd just tell CHUDs and MAGA transgenderism is real because we say so but they won't because they're spooked by science.

>>495227
>Identifying as a woman "pleases their ego" therefore it is true.
Isn't the entire point of Stirner's psychological egoism that spooks are expressions of our egoistic desires that are confused for something greater? Also, capital T truth is a spook so the phrase "therefore it is true" kinda collapses this entire analogy. Yes, even relative "truth" is also a spook since it's merely an attempt to evade adressing the problem. Sorta like "There's no INHERENT meaning in life but you can create one! Hurray, meaning of life saved!"

>>495237
>Isn't the entire point of Stirner's psychological egoism that spooks are expressions of our egoistic desires that are confused for something greater?
No, it's the opposite. His point is that we're denying our egoistical desires for something "greater" or in service of an ideal that is actively harming us in some way.
One example he gives is a peasant watching a police man arrest a burglar. An unspooked person would be happy because a burglar could potentially break into their own home so this action is "pleasing their ego" or serving them in a real constructive way.
A spooked person would be happy because "law and order" are being upheld. Which is spooked because often the state acts against the interests of a peasant, so this reaction is "spooked".
Both are reacting in the same way but by two completely different ideologies.

The technical measures that the engineering teams are attempting to implement to keep hospital electric generators running will not provide any more time, as the entry of oil and spare parts continues to be blocked.

The electric generators have reached record operating levels, requiring urgent maintenance work to ensure the continued supply of electricity to vital departments.

The Ministry of Health appeals to the relevant authorities to provide the necessary oil and spare parts to operate electric generators in hospitals.

🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades Spokesman Abu Obeida:
—
Blessed are the arms of the heroes of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, which are inflicting heavy losses on the zionist enemy, the latest of which was during the qualitative operation yesterday.

We call on Hezbollah to intensify their efforts to capture soldiers in order to liberate Palestinian and Arab prisoners from the depths of the occupation's prisons, especially after the approval of the law to execute prisoners.

The path of our people's struggle against the zionists has proven that the shortest way to liberate the prisoners is through resistance. Gaza has sacrificed much for this. We urge the heroes of Hezbollah to complete the mission, and our certainty in Allah is that He will not let our free prisoners be lost, and He will grant them relief and a way out of what they are in.

This zionist arrogance, the latest chapter of which was the approval of the law to execute prisoners, the crime of closing Al-Aqsa, and the aggression against our Arab and Islamic peoples, mandates that all components of our nation and the free people of the world exert every possible effort to punish the occupation for its crimes, or at least pressure it to force it to stop its transgressions, and that is the weakest of faith.

In the framework of its efforts to control the Bint Jbeil area, the "israeli" enemy army began mobilization measures days ago for an attack through a main advance axis originating from the border settlement of "Malkiya". Indications of the actual movement of its forces on this axis were monitored on 28/03/2026 at 20:45, with the advance of 4 Merkava tanks, 2 bulldozers, and 1 troop carrier from the Khallat Al-Taruq area south of the town of Maroun Al-Ras towards Khallat Al-Khanouq in the border towns of Aitaroun.

At dawn on Sunday, 29/03/2026, a composite force from the 401 and Givati brigades moved via a secondary advance axis towards the town of Ainata to reach the city of Bint Jbeil from the northeastern side.

Under the eyes of the Islamic Resistance fighters, the force consisting of 25 armored vehicles advanced towards the Al-Aqaba area and the Al-Friz heights in the town of Ainata. Upon the force's arrival at the Ghadmatha heights, the fighters detonated a Shawaz explosive device at 01:30 on a Merkava tank and a mechanical trap on a D9-type bulldozer, which led to halting the advance and maneuvering from the direction of Karkhoun - Khallat Al-Hijjah, but the fighters confronted them at 10:00.

The enemy renewed the attempt to advance on the afternoon of the same day. The resistance engineering fighters detonated a Shawaz explosive device on one of its tanks in the Al-Sidr area in Ainata at 15:00, and a mechanical trap on another tank in the same area at 16:00.

On Monday, 30/03/2026, the fighters engaged in three consecutive clashes with enemy forces inside the town of Ainata between 12:00 and 17:00 in the Ghadmatha and Al-Sidr areas, during which they targeted a Merkava tank with a guided missile.

At 19:45, the fighters targeted a command post of the enemy forces in the vicinity of Tallet Friz Ainata with a qualitative missile, achieving a direct hit. The artillery fighters also shelled enemy gatherings and positioning points throughout the confrontation and engagement period more than 15 times.

In defense of Lebanon and its people, the Islamic Resistance fighters ambushed an armored force belonging to the "israeli" enemy army during its advance in the town of Beit Lif at 03:00 on Tuesday, 31/03/2026. Upon the force's arrival at the kill point, the fighters detonated explosive devices and engaged with its personnel using light and medium weapons, simultaneously targeting it with rocket fire and artillery shells, achieving direct hits. The fighters followed this by targeting the reinforcement force that arrived at the scene with guided and direct missiles, which led to its personnel being killed and wounded, including a battalion commander in the Nahal Brigade, according to the enemy's admission. The engagement continued until 06:00 AM.

🟢 Member of the Hamas Political Bureau, Husam Badran:
—
A comprehensive national mobilization has been called to confront the "prisoner execution law" of Palestinian prisoners.

This law is not merely a racist piece of legislation, but a decision for collective political assassination and a legitimization of the killing of our fighters in cold blood, which places all of the Palestinian people before a historical test that transcends the language of condemnation to the stage of comprehensive implementation.

There is a call for a state of comprehensive engagement, and for officially informing mediators and influential countries that the implementation of any death sentence against any Palestinian prisoner will mean an unprecedented and complete explosion of the situation in all arenas.

Activation of popular resistance is required, along with a broad and continuous mass uprising at all contact points, and the formation of a special national committee to follow up on the movement.

All media outlets should launch a campaign targeting international parliaments and human rights organizations, clarifying that Palestinian prisoners are freedom prisoners to whom the Fourth Geneva Convention applies.

The international community must impose immediate sanctions on Knesset members and judges who approve the unjust decision.

It is necessary to explain the dangers of the law and its consequences through media appearances and the issuance of statements and declarations by various national leaders and political elites.

From now on, for every assassination, one American company will be destroyed.

Warning from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to the ruling body of the aggressor America:

You ignored our repeated warnings regarding the necessity of stopping terrorist operations, and today, both in your terrorist attacks and those of your "israeli" allies, a number of Iranian citizens were martyred. Since the main element in designing and tracking assassination targets is American ICT and AI companies, in response to these terrorist operations, from now on, the main institutions involved in terrorist operations will be our legitimate targets.

We advise the employees of these institutions to immediately leave their workplaces to save their lives. Residents around these terrorist companies in all countries of the region should also leave their locations within a one-kilometer radius and move to a safe place.

Companies that are actively involved in terrorist designs will be subject to reciprocal action for every assassination. They are announced as follows:

Communique No. 50 of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran; Strategic industrial and communication centers of the "israeli" regime targeted by Army drone attacks.

The Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran has, since this morning, targeted important and strategic communication, telecommunication, and industrial centers affiliated with the "israeli" regime's army in the occupied territories with drone attacks.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Insightful, revolutionary, and united nation of Islamic Iran! Your zealous and brave children in the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in response to the crimes of the "israeli" regime and the world-devouring America in attacking our country's infrastructure, have, since this morning, targeted the strategic and important communication, telecommunication, and industrial centers of Siemens, Telecom, and AT&T of the child-killing regime's army in Ben Gurion and Haifa with attack drones.
The Siemens industrial software center in the central regions of the occupied territories (near "Ben Gurion" airport) has focused on advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence and industrial automation for the "israeli" regime's army, and is used to optimize weapons production lines and design military systems.
The AT&T telecommunication center, located in Haifa, is one of the American research and development centers that operates in the field of advanced networking, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence technologies for the occupying regime of Al-Quds.
This communique states: The combatants of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, with the faithful companionship of all armed forces and with an authority born of faith and indigenous capability, will not hesitate for a moment in response to any aggression until the shadow of war is completely lifted from Iran and the aggressors are punished.

🚨 Fars News Agency reports that 5 million volunteers have registered for the Jan Fada (Sacrificing Soul) campaign in less than three days.

In a powerful display of unity, the Iranian people have answered the escalating threats against their borders, not with fear, but with dignity. In the face of the arrogant American-zionist enemy, millions have risen with a shared sense of duty, reaffirming their commitment to defend their homeland.

The initiative focuses on preparing for potential ground combat against the American-zionist enemy following threats against Iranian borders and coasts.

Ah, ok, I see. russia isn't imperialist; it's just a nuclear-armed, conservative, capitalist oligarchy that engages in great power competition, particularly in places like africa with their wagner merchanaries and territorial expansion fueled by both material and chauvinistic desires. Ok, alright, you got me there, folks. (Before anyone points out yes if all of this russia makes musolini here then the west and nato is aldof hitler with ukraine alone)

>>495225
You've made no attempt to engage with my central point: that imperialism is not the same thing as revanchism. Let me highlight the relevant parts from that article for you:
>imperialists take control of a country that does not want them there and resists. A revanchist wants to absorb former imperial lands where the population is largely the same ethnicity and welcomes the revanchist power to protect them from an outside threat.
>To call Putin’s move on Ukraine “imperialist” is to say Russia had never conquered those lands before and that he might indeed keep going to conquer lands Russia has never controlled: i.e., Western Europe.
>Russian imperialism in Ukraine took place nearly 250 years ago under the reign of Catherine the Great. That was when the Russians defeated the Turks and occupied what came to be known as Novorossiya. Putin went back further than that to make Russian claims (Lenin in 1922 gave Donbass, and Khruschev in 1954 gave Crimea to Soviet Ukraine, not independent Ukraine) and he has been open about his feeling that those lands and Russia are one. He spoke at length about it in his interviews with Oliver Stone in 2017.
>Despite these revanchist or irredentist positions on Ukraine, Putin did not act on them until 2022. Carlson asked Putin twice why he didn’t move on Ukraine earlier if he held these views and twice Putin evaded the question. >The Western media is saying that Putin is lying about acting to defend the Russian speakers of the Donbass; that he was motivated by territorial expansion.
>Putin was acting both to defend Donbass’ Russian speakers (who were under imminent renewed attack in February 2022) and also saw the opportunity to reunite the old imperial lands with Russia. That opportunity was seen in the Kremlin as a necessity because of the West’s rejection of Moscow’s diplomatic efforts to avoid conflict and plans to include Ukraine in NATO.
>Given the results of the four regional referendums in 2022, plus the one in Crimea in 2014, it is clear the people of those regions wanted to rejoin Russia after the coup and the revival of Ukrainian extremism.

I was not just talking about Europe when calling Russia imperialist, but anyhow, let's go through these interesting points you gave one by one.

>imperialism dosen't requre a conquest to be tottaly new or never done before thats such a arbitrary distinction

>much of the donbass was arelady under control of the ukranian people's republic upon the founding of the Ukrainian People's Republic of Soviets in december of 1917, it was not a case of lenin randomly for no reason giving it to the ukranians and as for crimea its complicated with it having been previously majority tatar until russian colonialism during the 19th and 20th centuries not to claim that ukraine is the rightful owner there but still

>western europe is a part of the imperial core and most unlike and least suseptible to imperialism like the rest of third world and claims of russia having imperial intrests in western europe is just that nafo probogandist fearemongering and cold war style paranoia that i of which never once implied to be the case

>the way you phrase "Russian speakers (who were under imminent renewed attack in February 2022)" is strange with it implying that zelensky was about to carry pogroms or expulsions in eastern ukraine while in reality its due to well the conflict between the pro russian "people's republics" and the ukranian military there now i won't deny that the donbass haven't been victim of indiscriminate bombings but it hardly justefies the same ocurring to ukranian cities

>russia atempting to secure its own sphere of infulunce peacefully without wasting manpower and resourcecs in compromising with the west and failing dose not disporve the my assertion

>some shaky referendums in the imidiate aftermath of an invasion dose not make "wholsome 100% brothely reunification of peoples" make plus it would be irrelavent if it was after all if germany stopped at austria and the sudeten would it then be ok?

May 1st general strike in the US.

If this works, is effective, and is simultaneous with other radical actions, it will be a good mark for the PSL's strategy. Best wishes for its success, and best wishes for the triumph of workers' war over zionist imperial tyranny!

>>495199
Are they actually organizing workplaces around this, or is this more of the college activism brainrot in PSL that presumes you can spontaneously mobilize mass action with a flyer?

>>495201
I mean, they were central in organizing the successful shutdown in MN earlier this year. They have a union presence, and their outreach is generally more organized than just, like, flyering. They've had successful walkout campaigns, too. They have a much better grip on how this stuff works than others do, and I'll personally hold off critique until I see what they do in May.

>>495199

good luck, has there realistically been a general strike in recent history that actually led to meaningful change in the US?

>>495209
The only general strike in recent US history was earlier this year in MN, and prior to that there hadn't been a general strike for at least a decade afaik, I think much longer. That strike did seem to achieve its goal, or at least came close, but, admittedly, it was a much less lofty goal - the retreat of ICE from MN.

Even that much more localized strike & shutdown (although it was accompanied by nationwide school walkouts, which were much less significant than the labor strike in MN even if they numbered greatly) was territory which hasn't been touched in the US for many years. Pulling off something like it nationwide will be commendable, and a sign of great organizational progress. The ability to withhold labor organizationally is a necessary weapon, and must be sharpened.

This.
"Israel" = occupied Palestine, divorced from both the historical Kingdom of Israel and the Abrahamic spiritual concept of Israel. Adopting the name "Israel" was deliberate, and zionists didn't even decide to call their project that until some time in the 20th century.
