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.

>With it i mean they should more take the Gramsci part
What?
>I mean there are alot of election tricks to manipulate people based on their evolutionary mistakes but fact is we really need to use it.
A crucial problem is that we don't actually have any representation in elections. ;P
There is no such thing as a western leftist electoral victory - we're at the point where any deviation from outright global fascism (zionism), even by far-right propertarians, is not tolerated. The electoral system is entirely controlled by zionist interests - which is part of the reason that neoliberals/zionists/neocons have unlimited room to do dirty electoral tricks and we don't. In order to do equivalent tricks, we would first have to have extremely well-funded lobbying machines, which we don't - and, on top of this, the truth is that many of the big reactionary lobbying groups for zionism, finance, the MIC, landlords, etc. are also institutionally embedded in the state already. Even if we were equally rich (which would be extra difficult since global fascism has a series of international laundromats), trying to operate through an electoral system effectively controlled by reactionary forces would still put us on an unequal footing.

The only actual means that the workers' forces have to gain real, meaningful victories are armed counter-terror against the state, sabotage, and organized labor strikes.

I mean with it that we can still do protests, protests is actually a good way to grow a movement.
But still i think we should try it because i see too few leftist media.

Lol, leftists were already playing dirty. How much more dirty can they get? You're looking at diminishing returns at that point, and you'll probably just drive more people into our arms by being complete unrepentant fiends any more than you already are. Good plan.

Nice LLM slop.

Leftists don't play dirty, let as example take the media. Leftist abolished all party media they owned because it is "undemocratic" while the far-right build up more and more media to dominate the public thinking.

Ary Jeay - Overnight, the US-Iran had another tit-for-tat attacks

• The US shot down 4 Iranian one-way attack drones followed by strikes in Qeshm & Sirik.

• In response, the IRGC launched ballistic missiles from Iran towards Kuwait and Bahrain.

The IRGC officially stated that it targeted:

• Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait
• Remaining important facilities of the US Navy’s 5th Fleet, Bahrain [image reportedly shows a hit inside this base]
• An oil tanker

Full story:
At 1:30 AM, 4 oil tankers were violating Iran’s authority & tried to exit the Strait of Hormoz, with the provocation and guidance of the aggressive US military, without coordination & without paying attention to the prescribed warnings of the IRGC Navy.

Senior Lebanese army officer killed by Israeli strike as ceasefire frays in the south
By Obaida Hitto''
Reporting from Tyre,Lebanon

This is not the first time the Lebanese armed forces have come under fire in southern Lebanon during this conflict, but today’s attack is different because of who was in the vehicle.

A brigadier general of the Lebanese armed forces has been killed by Israeli fire, and this is a significant development. The Lebanese military is supposed to be working alongside the Israelis (anon's note: per Joseph Aoun & Nawaf Salam's latest US-penned non-ceasefire "ceasefire") to disarm Hezbollah in the south and implement a ceasefire agreement that includes the redeployment of Lebanese Armed Forces in these areas.

When they are coming under fire themselves, this is going to make that situation much more volatile.

The incident took place on the … road, which runs through the Marjayoun district. It is overlooked by the Beaufort Heights, where Israel has taken the high ground as part of its expanded ground operation.

The total number of soldiers killed in the incident is not yet clear. What I understand from local official sources is that the number may be higher than two, but they are waiting for confirmation.

The scene of the attack was very bad. It appears the entire vehicle was destroyed, almost disintegrated. There are reports of body parts found around the scene, which is why the military is holding off on confirming exactly how many soldiers were killed.

Dimitri Lascaris - Israel Humiliates Lebanon's President By Assassinating One Of His Generals
This morning, while Dimitri Lascaris was reporting on-the-ground in south Lebanon, Israel murdered two senior officers of the Lebanese National Army.

The senior officers were Brigadier-General Wissam Sabra and Captain Elie Khoury. Israel murdered them by striking a vehicle in which they were travelling in south Lebanon, not far from Dimitri's location at the time.

In this report, Dimitri discusses Israel's possible motivation and the likely consequences of Israel's latest act of barbarism.

Esmaeil Baghaei - The repeated targeting by the Israeli enemy of elements of the Lebanese Army reaffirms that the occupying entity is laying claim to Lebanon in all its components. For this enemy makes no distinction between soldier, resistor, and civilian, nor between child, woman, and elder. Everyone on this land is a target for its aggression, and all of Lebanon bears witness to its crimes.

The martyrdom of Brigadier General Wassim Sabra, Captain Elie Khoury, and soldier Hassan Ghazal, in the condemned Israeli airstrike that targeted a military vehicle on the Khardali road, constitutes a heinous crime against Lebanon, its army, and its sovereignty, and a clear message of aggression stating that Israel desires no security, stability, or prosperity for Lebanon.

I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs, their comrades in the military institution, and the Lebanese Army Command, as well as to the Lebanese government and the Lebanese people.

Glory to the martyrs, and shame to an enemy that knows no bounds in killing, aggression, and committing crimes against others.

🟢 Hamas Spokesman Hazem Qassem:
—
The Hamas spokesman affirmed that the criminal zionist occupation continues to commit its massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip, in light of the inability of the guarantor states, mediators, and what is called the "Peace Council" to stop this massacre or even condemn it.

Qassem called today, Friday, for the mediators, the guarantor states, and the so-called "Peace Council" to direct pressure toward the occupation, which has completely disavowed the agreement and disregarded all efforts made to stop its violations.

The Hamas spokesman emphasized that the continuation of this massacre live on air against the Palestinian people places all parties, led by the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, before a historical and moral responsibility for immediate action.

Check out this very serious statement from the Hexagon. Gee, I wonder if they'll stop letting "Israeli" officials into the Pentagon without any security checks, stop allowing "Israelis" into meetings without clearance, stop allowing ideologically and financially committed zionists (*cough* Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, etc. *cough*) to be in charge of mass surveillance & private data collection, stop "outsourcing" surveillance & communications tech to "Israeli" companies (like the one run by pedophile Ehud Barak), stop allowing sales* of surveillance and communications tech to "Israel," stop arming "Israel" (whose rampant spying and blackmail the Pentagon is, like, totally concerned about), stop doing "joint missions" with "Israel," prevent politicians from developing close relationships with AIPAC lobbyists, and make AIPAC register as a foreign agent?
It seems like all of those things would be high priority if the Pentagon was actually more worried about US security than they are about endlessly backing zionist terror.

A nationwide general strike was organized in more than 75 cities across Italy, demanding a complete boycott of Israel and the severance of all ties.

Italian rank-and-file unions hold nationwide strike against austerity and war

Workers across Italy struck on Thursday against austerity, genocide and war. The action was called by sindacati di base, Italy’s rank-and-file unions. It mobilised workers in transport, air traffic, ports, motorways, logistics, healthcare, schools, universities, public administration, and fire services, including in Turin, Milan, Bergamo, Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples.

It was the latest in a cycle of working class resistance in Italy. It followed nationwide strikes in September against the Gaza genocide, in November against the Meloni government’s austerity and rearmament budget, the Manovra 2026, and a May 18 strike and protest against the Israeli seizure of the Global Sumud Flotilla. Each of these actions was called by rank-and-file unions.

…

The May 29 strike was called by a coalition of unions including CUB (Confederazione Unitaria di Base), SGB (Sindacato Generale di Base), SI Cobas (Sindacato Intercategoriale Cobas), ADL Varese, and USI-CIT. These unions emerged and grew precisely because workers in critical sectors including logistics, ports, and education correctly concluded that CGIL, CISL and UIL served to impose concessions and productivity deals on the workers. They function, as one logistics worker told the WSWS in Rome, “like bosses.”

National rail struck from 21:00 on May 28 to 21:00 on May 29, and air transport for the full day, while local-transit strikes varied by city. In Rome and Milan, disruption fell mainly on municipal transport, with guaranteed-service windows only within the legal bands surrounding normal rush-hour traffic in the morning and evening. A protest march started in Milan from the Piazza della Scala.

In Naples, trains and certain metro lines faced delays, and Si-Cobas members staged a sit in at the Port Authority to protest dismissals of rank-and-file union members and arms shipments to Israel. Union members, including dockers and logistics, metal and health contract workers, marched to the offices of Grimaldi, which controls port operations. They reportedly obtained a commitment to improve trainee working conditions but no commitment on Israel.

In Turin, rail and air transport were shut down, though municipal transport functioned normally. There was an evening rally at the Piazza Costello, and a daytime protest march organized by the “TorinPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

At least 5 killed in Israeli strike on Gaza City
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports that at least five people were killed while attending a wedding in Gaza City after Israel bombed the wedding tent.

The attack was carried out by two missiles, Mahmoud said, and the number of people killed is expected to rise.

A source at Al-Shifa Hospital tells our colleagues on the ground that more than a dozen people were wounded in the attack.

We’ll bring you more information on this attack as it comes to us.

2. “CPUSA endorses Democrats.”

We do not, nor have we ever, endorsed candidates who are not members of our Party. Instead, we run our own candidates at the state and local levels and plan to run presidential candidates in the future. We also emphasize the importance of uniting, organizing, and radicalizing workers around the issues and not around Democratic Party candidates. This, again, is a lie rooted in the McCarthy era when the Republicans tried to depict the Democratic Party and the Roosevelt administration as having “communist influence.” We never endorsed Democrats, even during the Great Depression and World War II. In fact, despite our support for many aspects of the New Deal, particularly the Social Security and Wagner Acts, we were running our own candidates for president against Roosevelt.

More recently, our comrades in Cuba published an article by Ricardo Alarcon, a politburo member of their ruling Communist Party and head of their National Assembly, in which he explained how a Clinton presidency would have been more beneficial than a Trump presidency. This article was posted to our website to educate readers about how there are differences between the DNC and GOP (for example, Obama loosened the imperialist grip on Cuba), despite their both being corporate parties. Some opportunistically spread the word that it was an endorsement of the Democrats, which it was not—by us nor the Cubans. We support ideas and policies over individual candidates. Medicare For All is a contemporary idea that we support, although we never endorsed Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or Ilhan Omar, for example, no matter how progressive or “left” they may seem. We are not in a strategic alliance with the Democratic Party. Imagine what Nancy Pelosi’s answer would be if you asked her that!

1. “CPUSA members are FBI agents and cops.”

There is no doubt that the FBI worked tirelessly to dismantle and dissolve the Party by means of deportations, imprisonments, and even executions in the years following the beginning of the Cold War. The CPUSA leadership was especially persecuted throughout the 1950s, and there are well-documented sources which explain how the FBI attempted to penetrate our organization. Then there is the well-known evidence that the FBI’s counterintelligence program—COINTELPRO—from 1956 to 1971 attempted to discredit the Party and other progressive and left organizations during the Civil Rights and anti-war movements. This particularly played a role in the capture and imprisonment of Angela Davis. The sectarian left plays into this FBI and McCarthyite rhetoric, perhaps without knowing so, and therefore discredits the Party just as the right-wing does.

The ruling class knows where the real threat is: that’s why the State Department continues to ask the “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the CPUSA” question on visa applications.

In any case, the Party has and continues to carry out measures to protect our organization and has done so successfully, which is why it has survived for more than a century despite so many attacks and setbacks from the ruling class. In the years following the collapse of real existing socialism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc, the FBI has returned to these tactics, saying we’re infiltrated. Imagine that! Cops calling us cops! Don’t fall for it. Members who join us need not worry about their identity. Your membership is not public unless you make it so on your own.

>israeli platform: the hardest day in Lebanon since the start if the ceasefire.
>israeli platform: Hezbollah fired more than 26 FPVs at our forces in Lebanon today.

MP Hassan Fadlallah to Al Mayadeen: Yesterday, there was an attempt by the US Secretary of State to promote a new formula - no bombing the suburbs in exchange for no bombing the north - without committing to a comprehensive ceasefire. This was rejected, and a new development occurred in light of Iran's position to intervene.

We have been informed by the President of the Republic that President Trump contacted the Lebanese ambassador and requested a halt to the mutual attacks as a prelude to a comprehensive ceasefire. This matter is being followed up and communication with the President of the Republic on this issue is ongoing.

We will not accept a return to the situation before March 2nd.

Where did you hear this?

>>496725
In the south, there were pro-segregation white mobs who gathered around schools which were being integrated, and the federal government used the military to stop this.
>Was this good or bad?
The American federal government and segregationist mobs are both bad. This action had the benefit of improving standards of living for black workers and students in the south, so it was good domestically, but it wasn't a grand act of heroism. Segregation was a longstanding institutional injustice, and I would also guess (I might be wrong!) that the US government was worried that the divisions underlined by institutional racism could become more of a liability than a benefit, as having such major unchecked internal divisions could decrease the state's ability to effectively commit major crimes around the globe.

Zei Squirrel - genocidal Zionist Israel Firster Randy Fine, a sitting member of Congress, has now repeatedly called on Hasan, who is a US citizen, to be arrested for his speech. I looked to see if there is any precedent for this, and the only similar case I could find is Steve King calling on Glenn Greenwald's arrest over his Snowden reporting in 2013, and there he cited the supposed leaking of classified material. Randy Fine is merely citing Hasan's criticism of Israel, which he defines as being "support of terrorism", as the reason to arrest and jail him.

This is the most serious and extreme assault on an American citizen's free speech rights by a sitting member of Congress in modern US history, and no one in the media and political class cares. I have not seen anyone denouncing it, least of all those "OMG I AM A FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTIST" grifters from Ben Shapiro to Bari Weiss. In fact, Michael Knowles, that Zionist slave of Shapiro, just came out to also call on his arrest in the name of Zionism.

Zionists are trying to normalize the criminalization of speech critical of Israel.
