Since June 2024, we have been building a communist encyclopedia, Revolupedia, to provide easily-understood explanations to Marxist theory and allow for further study.

Overtime, our project and community has expanded to maintain hundreds of articles, a library of texts from Marxist thinkers, and detailed quotations.

We welcome all communists to join our effort to build a revolutionary compendium, whether anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist or Maoist!

Interesting idea actually. Knowledge bases have a propensity to suffer from the 'I'm the embodiment of truth' syndrome.

Without the assertion of 'Tha Truth' a opinionpedia can form. Let ideological currents be renamed to thought-collectives. And every such thought-collective can curate it's opinionated version of the pedia. If an article has several entries by multiple thought-collectives the reader can switch between them or access a diff-view that highlights opinion differences/agreements.

Not as a philosophical stance, objective reality exists after-all, but as a rejection of arbiters of truth. Because arbitration powers rarely coincides with an interest in objective reality.

I believe that Trump wants to use the so-called “Secondary Sanctions” on all countries that import Russian Oil/Gas, as a convenient excuse t dramatically escalate the Trade War with China into a full-decoupling of all Trade between the U$ and China, which combined with Trump forcing the ROC/“Taiwan” U$ puppet state to declare “independence” and/or the U$ recognizing them as the “Real China”, will force China to Invade Taiwan, thus giving the U$ a cactus belli to launch World War III against China, which means Trump will have Bipartisan support to use the Insurrection Act to declare Martial Law, suspend all Elections, and become De Facto President for Life, though this could dramatically backfire as it will either end in with this either ending in a decisive Conventional U$ victory (due to the U$ B-2 Stealth Bomber and Standoff Stealthy JASSMs, LRASMs, and Tomahawks, launched by B-1/2/52 Bombers in the case of JASSM, B-1 Bombers in the case of the LRASM, and Cruisers, Destroyers, and Submarines, in the case of the Tomahawk, destroying most Chinese Air Bases, Naval Bases, Warships, SRBM/MRBM/IRBM/GLCM launchers, and SAM sites, which despite Chinese DF-21/26 MRBMs/IRBMs and CJ-10 cruise Missiles launched by H-6 Bombers and Type 052D/Type 055 Destroyers, severely damaging many U$ air and naval bases in Japan and South Korea and Anti-Ship Missiles launched by H-6 Bombers and Type 052D/Type 055 Destroyers sinking several U$ Destroyers and Cruisers, causes China to suffer a decisive Conventional Defeat and Capitulate) that will lead to the overthrow of the Chinese Communist Party and the Balkanization of China (Tibet and East Turkestan will gain Independence) in a renewed Century of Humiliation, thus enshrining the Global Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist 1000 year Burgereich under the eternal Trump Dynasty, or escalate into a Global Nuclear War (due to a DF-21D, DF-26, or JY-21 ASBM, launched by a TEL in the case of the DF-21/26, or a H-6 Bomber or Type 055 Destroyer in the case of the YJ-21, penetrating the Aegis ABM system and sinking a U$ Aircraft Carrier, thus provoking a U$ Nuclear First Strike on China, and assuming some Chinese ICBMs survive, and that their MIRVed Nuclear Warheads penetrate the U$ ABM system, a Chinese Nuclear Second Strike on the U$) that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR that will Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the ShiniPost too long.

For reasons I don't care to explain I think that in a hot conflict with American forces around Taiwan, China would have an overwhelming advantage and repel America before it can turn into a larger conflict.

China has now taken a stance on Gaza, and also said that Russia losing in Ukraine wasn't acceptable to them. This means they have built up enough militarily to actualize their own interests, at least regionally. If America steps in they will simply lose. It won't really be a prolonged conflict unless America can convince states like South Korea, Japan and India to dogpile onto them, which just isn't realistic given how closely these countries are tied economically to China.

I really respect your digressions into analyzing the military hardware which will come into play. I don't know enough about it, but it's great to see someone gaming it.

I think that you're right that the US intends to provoke war with China, and I'm not sure whether China will actually bite and invade the ROC. I really doubt it unless the US makes greater material military provocations - IE I think the US might actually have to attack China directly or resort to making some shit up like the US did to invade Iraq. I agree with the hypothesis that Trump, or at least the Trump admin, intends to extend its stay in order to fulfill this dirtywork of the US state. They want an unlikeable, pliable, and senile, person in charge for this - and if not him, then JD Vance or Trump's sons (who they've exposed heavily to the base as proxies for Trump). Trump is supposed to be the ugly face of the empire, and of unapologetic Zionist supremacy. That way they can blame him for the stuff they've been planning for decades.

On March 9, 2025, US permanent resident and Columbia University graduate student was abducted without charge or trial and sent off to a shady Louisiana site on White House orders over his protests for Columbia to divest from Israel's war crimes.

From DropSite:

NEW YORK CITY—On Saturday night, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered a student residential building at Columbia University in uptown New York and detained Mahmoud Khalil, one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at 2024’s Gaza solidarity encampment. In a sweeping attack on the First Amendment, the Trump administration said this week it would begin revoking visas of “Hamas sympathizers,” specifically citing Columbia University students. The detention followed a two-day targeted online campaign against Khalil by pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Columbia’s high-profile pro-Israel professor, Shai Davidai.

Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin and an American green-card holder, was detained by DHS officials around half past eight as he was entering the Columbia residential building he lives in. He was returning from an iftar, breaking the day-long fast observed by many Muslims during the month of Ramadan.

Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, was with him at the time. A statement by the pro-Palestine group Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) stated that he was “abducted and detained without the physical demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges.”

Khalil was detained at a DHS facility in New Jersey, according to a database for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But when his wife went to try and visit him she was informed he was not there. "He is not at the ICE facility in New Jersey. I can confirm he is not there,” Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer told Drop Site. "At this time, we have an idea [where he is] but we cannot confirm that 100%.”

According to WAWOG, the DHS agents told Khalil that the U.S. Department of State had revoked his student visa. The group said this was “despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident.”

In response to a request for comment from Drop Site, the DHS first stated, “You need to reach out to the White House.”

New footage of Mahmoud Khalil's arrest shows Trump admin is lying.

First they said they had a warrant.
Then they admitted they didn't—saying they didn't *need* one, because he wasn't cooperating & was going to flee.

U.S. Government and Private Groups Coordinated to Target Palestinian Student Activists, FOIA Filing Alleges

The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) has filed a sweeping Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on behalf of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian-American and lawful permanent resident who has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since March 8, 2025. The filing accuses federal agencies of colluding with private anti-Palestinian organizations to detain and deport student activists engaged in pro-Palestine advocacy, and seeks records from the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, State, and ICE.






The Alleged Role of Private Anti-Palestinian Groups

The FOIA request names over a dozen groups accused of coordinating to surveil, doxx, and target pro-Palestine students—often focusing on noncitizens—in an effort to trigger deportation. The groups include:

➤ Betar USA: A militant Zionist group that created a “deport list” of student activists, including Khalil.

Didn't update this when it happened, but Mahmoud Khalil was released and is currently suing the Trump administration for tihs:

Mahmoud Khalil suing Trump admin for ‘politically motivated arrest, detention’
Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia University graduate student who was detained as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestine advocacy in the US, is seeking $20m “to help others similarly targeted”, his lawyers say.

“He would accept, in lieu of payment, an official apology and abandonment of the administration’s unconstitutional policy”, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) said in a statement announcing the soon-to-be-filed lawsuit.

Khalil, who was released in June after more than three months in detention, was the first known activist to be detained and have his legal immigration status revoked by the Trump administration over involvement in student protests in support of Gaza.

“Nothing can restore the 104 days stolen from me. The trauma, the separation from my wife, the birth of my first child that I was forced to miss”, Khalil said in the CCR statement.

“There must be accountability for political retaliation and abuse of power. And I won’t stop here. I will continue to pursue justice against everyone who contributed to my unlawful detention or spread lies in an attempt to destroy my reputation, including those affiliated with Columbia University”, he said.

“I’m holding the US government accountable not just for myself, but for everyone they try to silence through fear, exile, or detention”.

Yeah Blair getting into Labor, kinda wrecked it. I think the neolibs think in terms of power-brokers, meaning they seek out positions in organizations and society at large in order to sell out. I bet you they think that is what everybody is doing. From the perspective of social democrats this was hostile infiltration.

I sometimes wonder if the left could have done something like this too. Except, you know, the other way around. You know in the 70s when neo-liberalism began to spread the rot. To be fair i don't really have a clue how to invert the power-broaker dynamic.

Left parties will never get off the ground here because there is no "big tent" they are working towards to bring across a standard working class agenda, so you will just get left parties that are extreme in all the wrong ways and follow whatever shitlib pozzed zeitgeist they get fed from largely US dominated Social Media.
This is why even most Green parties don't even focus on Environmental or Industrial/Agricultural policy anymore, because they got hijacked by every quack "left adjacent" group out there to push their personal agendas, and the only "cross faction" difference they need to cover, is how much "girldick" should you be forced to suck because being declared a real leftist.

Yes if the Western left was actually competent and had any basis in normal working class people at all. No in reality, because the Western Left is nothing more than a cargo cult of quack losers and freaks.
Honestly Corbyn when he played the game, and focused only on bread and butter working class economic issues with broad appeal, literally hit 45% in UK polling with the Tories sitting on 37%.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 61,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Despite all of the killing, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, appears to have largely replenished its numbers. Israel proceeded to violate the ceasefire with airstrikes and a resumption of their illegal blockade of Gaza before resuming full-scale attacks in March and destroying the ceasefire entirely.

Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire with Lebanon more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country entirely after multiple delays. After months of the IDF violating the ceasefire in the south of Lebanon, Israel returned to bombing Beirut in March.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance. Meanwhile, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader of HTS and current de facto leader of Syria, has launched attacks on Lebanon and attacked Palestinian liberation factions within Syria.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC also issued warrants against Hamas leaders.

Following the warrants, the Biden administration invited Yoav Gallant to the White House.

Al-Qassam’s military spokesman Abu Obaida:

“Our enemy is being supplied by the world’s most oppressive powers with endless convoys of weapons and ammunition, while the regimes and forces of our own nation stand by watching their brothers in the land of resistance being slaughtered by the tens of thousands, starved, denied water and medicine.

Statement from Catholic Arcivescovo Carlo Maria Viganò:

The bombing of the Church of the Holy Family—the only Catholic parish in Gaza—is yet another brazen and murderous attack by Israel in violation of international law. Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pizzaballa himself has questioned the sincerity of Prime Minister Netanyahu's words, who attributes the attack to an error, since there are no targets in the immediate vicinity of the church.

Leo deplores the victims of the attack in Gaza, but does not mention its perpetrators.

Netanyahu, responsible for the attack, thanks Leo and reiterates that Israel protects the safety of civilians and holy sites. Meanwhile, with absolute impunity, Israel strikes the defenseless civilian population of Gaza with Western weapons and attacks Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.

Numerous members of the Israeli government support the Zionist project of "Greater Israel" because, since the end of the 19th century, the Messiah awaited by the Jews has been the Jewish State. This ideology (a true "heresy" of Judaism) considers Jews to be a superior race by divine decree, and on the basis of this self-proclaimed superiority—and the inferiority of the goyim that it implies—Israel considers itself justified in violating every moral principle and demands to enjoy absolute impunity.

No president or prime minister of Tel Aviv's vassal nations—first and foremost the United States of America—will ever dare to speak out, as they are most likely being blackmailed by Mossad and its emissaries.

If this were the Russian Federation, what would be the reaction of the international community?

How many more deaths and injuries will we have to witness before the United States of America and the entire West wake up from this subservience to a state that replicates with greater ferocity (after having been a victim of it) the horrors of National Socialist totalitarianism?

When I first started working in the tech industry, I didn't understand the point of Scrum. I couldn't recall a single time when I thought that our daily meetings actually mattered. It wasn't long before my attention was captured by the horrors of writing mountains of documentation that would never be read, living through Jira hell, and nearly going mad from the pointless rituals of test-driven development and eXtreme(ly shitty) Programming.

The story I was sold is that all these big ideas are bigly necessary because big complex systems need big complex teams, which in turn need these big ideas. This struck me as a big damn lie. All you really need is good code, which needs good developers, which needs good teamwork - duh, right? But what follows is a bunch of bullshit boilerplate, standards and methodologies. Why? Because they serve to obscure the root of the problem: people giving a shit about the shit they're doing so that they can do it well.

If you're hiring people to maintain some voodoo code written by an overworked and disgruntled codemonkey ten years ago, or refusing to hire junior devs because you need "real talent" to maintain your Kafkaesque SaaS nightmare, then problem runs a *lot* deeper than just "not being agile enough" or whatever the hell other coping mechanisms we use to repress the problem. These insane business practices that drive insane development practices are literally insane, because they do the same thing over and over and over again - fixing the problems created by fixing the problems created by fixing the problems.

What the professional commentariat - the business gurus and glorified cultists, the chattering classes who preach incessantly on such matters - avoid mentioning is that the crux of good management involves _protecting the workers from such pathologies so that they can do their damn jobs._ The workers can learn to direct and motivate themselves if they want to, and they will if they have the freedom to do it. In one sentence: *They need to be given tools and techniques, not pizzas and parenting.* This has nothing to do with "agile processes" or "servant leadership" or whatever other perverted corporate ideologies that are being peddled to the successfully incompetent - it's a working-class reality.

Pathological business processes that exist solely to paper over the fact that people don't care about their work enough to do it right will inevitably create more problems than they solvPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Sure, and this is where I admire people like Richard Wolff. Even Jim Coplien's critique of agile points in this direction, though it still remains within the tech industry logic to a large extent. But my point about Cookie Clicker Capitalism is that this is a structural problem that can't be easily solved by just throwing workers co-ops at it; the neoliberal capitalist system rewards the spectacle of work far more than real, productive work. I'm not saying that we shouldn't push for "economic democracy" or whatever you want to call it, but that it will ultimately need a political programme as well in order to be meaningful in the long-term. Otherwise, the Cookie Clicker Capitalists will always have the most cookies, and the successfully incompetent will continue to succeed.

Syrian rebels enter Aleppo three days into surprise offensive
Insurgents had recaptured territory around Syria’s second city with civilians including children killed in fighting

Islamist insurgents have entered Syria’s second city of Aleppo in a shock assault, eight years after forces loyal to Damascus seized control of the city.

Fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began a major offensive earlier this week from their base in the Idlib countryside, a slim strip of land in Syria’s north-west. It took only three days for the fighting to reach Aleppo, with insurgents capturing territory around the city’s outskirts for the first time in four years as Syrian government forces pummelled rebel-held areas.

Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency reported on Friday afternoon that the insurgents had entered Aleppo, while unverified images and video circulating online showed armoured vehicles and armed uniformed militants on its streets. The Associated Press said residents reported hearing missiles striking its outskirts.

The fighting over the last three days had killed 27 civilians, including eight children, David Carden, the UN deputy regional humanitarian coordinator for the Syria crisis, told Reuters.

The rebels have rapidly recaptured dozens of towns and villages in the Aleppo countryside, seizing a military base, weaponry and tanks from Syrian government forces, while some Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups based elsewhere in north-west Syria joined the fighting.

The UN said Syrian government forces based in Damascus carried out at least 125 airstrikes and shelled areas across Idlib and western Aleppo controlled by the rebels in response to the offensive, killing at least 12 civilians and wounding 46 others, and displacing 14,000 people.

Ben-Gvir calls for ‘elimination’ of Syrian president
Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has said that the “only solution” with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa “is to eliminate him”.

“The horrific images from Syria prove one thing: once a jihadist, always a jihadist. Those who kill, shave mustaches, humiliate, and rape should not be negotiated with,” Ben-Gvir said on X.

“I love the Druze citizens in the State of Israel, and I embrace them warmly, and I tell them: we must cut off the head of the snake,” he added.

Ben-Gvir has previously been convicted on charges of supporting a Jewish “terrorist organisation” and of incitement to racism against Arabs and non-Jews.

Druze religious leader says new ceasefire deal reached
Following the confirmation by Syria’s Interior Ministry of a ceasefire agreement, Druze religious leader Sheikh Yousef Jarbou has also said there has been a deal with the government in Suwayda, which will take immediate effect.

He made the announcement in a video broadcast by state media.

No other details were immediately available.

‘Any attack on the Syrian state is an attack on the Druze community’
Druze religious leader Sheikh Yousef Jarbou has condemned Israel’s air strikes on central Damascus, which Israel says it carried out to protect the Druze minority and prevent hostile forces from gaining ground near its borders.

“Any attack on the Syrian state is an attack on the Druze community,” Jarbou told Al Jazeera Arabic.



Jarbou said the agreement enjoyed broad support within the majority-Druze city of Suwayda in southern Syria and expressed his hope that the Syrian state would overcome the obstacles posed by attempts to disrupt it.

Syrian Bedouin fighters launch new offensive in Suwayda: Report

Syrian Bedouin fighters have reportedly launched a new offensive in Suwayda against Druze fighters, despite a ceasefire agreement that was announced last night.

A Bedouin military commander told the Reuters news agency that the truce only applied to government forces and not to them.

The commander said the fighters were seeking to free Bedouins whom Druze armed groups had detained in recent days.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara’a fled Damascus, according to reports

Some Syrian channels have denied it, while other media outlets claim al-Shara’a did flee as Al-Mayadeen reported, but to Idlib with Turkish coordination.

Also reports of an assassination attempt against the defence minister.

While the situation in Syria remains unclear, the State appears to have at least temporarily disintegrated for now & has no power over a myriad of armed groups mobilising across the country.

Israel is backing many actors in a bid to further cripple the country. Complete chaos.

BREAKING: 41 Bedouin Tribes Have Mobilised To Fight In Southern Syria

This Bedouin force heading to Sweida, to fight against the Druze, could number up to 40,000 if they all arrive there.

The Druze militias are estimated to be 60,000 fighters in total.

In other words, this is an impending bloodbath if not stopped immediately.

What are your recommended essential books on Chinese statecraft, warcraft, and spycraft?

What about the essentials for understanding Chinese culture, philosophy, and psychology?

Thank you!

As a foreign comrade in the U.S., have found China to be quite mysterious due to contradictory progaganda over the years. I see China as biding their time for capitalist nations to cannibalize themselves, avoiding conflicts as much as possible as recommended by Sun Tzu. Have read China is becoming more Americanized, with the youth embracing Halloween(with it being mostly restricted or banned), rap(before being banned), and 90s sitcoms(rumored to be circulated underground). Also read the government suppresses unions/workers to avoid Western bureaucratic pitfalls and excessive middle men. Have also heard the chinese are more liberal with their racism, though not as hateful or grudging with it and it is not as taboo to criticize whatever minority groups.

Regarding China's socialist aspects, they seem to be very fickle, given their actions during the Cold War and inaction afterwards, The chinese seem to be nationalists dipped in red. Heard from Chinese-American (who admires modern China but detests socialism) argue that Marxism conflicts with Chinese culture and is antithetical and only a label at this point. Personally, given the fact of seeing enough videos of Chinese industrial workers getting crushed and maimed, it seems socialism is only an aesthetic at this point with the poor work conditions.

Overall, see China as the lesser of many evils not a savior

Since you didn't get a reply from OP i'll try.

>What are your recommended essential books on Chinese

>statecraft
Xii Jinping wrote a book about that. Can't recall the title, sry. Could be something like 'Governance of China in the modern era.'
>warcraft
Historic: Sun Tzu (as you mentioned) and Mao
Modern: i got nothin

>essentials for understanding Chinese culture, philosophy, and psychology?

i got nothin on that either

>I see China as biding their time for capitalist nations to cannibalize themselves, avoiding conflicts as much as possible

That is their attitude for the world at large, but they do want 'the string of Perls' aka the military encirclement by the US removed.

Sorry for not replying to you in a timely manner.

>What are your recommended essential books on Chinese statecraft, warcraft, and spycraft?

For the official governance methods in China, you can choose to read "Xi Jinping Talks about Governance", which has an official English translation.As for the warcraft and spycraft sections, to my knowledge, there are no official books specifically introducing these topics, as these strategic issues are not so openly discussed in China.However, you may be able to search for websites and magazines aimed at Chinese military enthusiasts, where you may find the answers you are looking for。

>What about the essentials for understanding Chinese culture, philosophy, and psychology?

If you want to have a detailed understanding, then there are plenty of things you need to read.But the simplest way, as the comrade who answered for me said, Mao's books can help you quickly understand all of this.By the way, you can also read some books by Lu Xun, as he is widely recognized as one of the most revolutionary writers of the early 20th century in China.

Yes, young people in China consider some customs from foreign countries as fashionable, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Just like foreigners sometimes celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival, I think it has closed the gap between people in different countries.It's just that the consumerist atmosphere inside makes me feel a bit…nah
Unfortunately, if I understand correctly, you seem to have made some mistakes about the situation of Chinese trade unions. China's suppression of trade unions has not solved the problems of bureaucracy or intermediaries. The government only suppresses workers who organize unofficial trade unions to protect their rights, while government established trade unions do not work for workers' rights at all.And yes, China allows complaints from the public about minority groups because the goverment needs to divert people's attention

Simply put, Mao appeared to be a nationalist because he needed China to serve socialism (Stalin's theory of building socialism in one country).And those who after him, in my opinion, regarded socialism as a tool to serve the Chinese nation.So when some principles of socialism hinder the strength of the Chinese countrPost too long.

>They don't export the revolution, true. Their contribution to socialist projects in other countries is that they continue trading with them, negating weaponized isolationism.
During the Mao era, China provided support to other revolutionary forces in Asia, even aiding Albania in Europe.However, after that, as a price for joining the World Trade Organization, China officially gave up exporting revolution and only did business with countries around the world.

>It's lower stage socialism. They have social wins like dramatic poverty reduction, really good public infrastructure, really steep rise in wages/living standards and expanding public services. They're genuinely striving towards 'real' socialism at a snails pace.

In the eyes of the left-wing in China, just like Brezhnev's "developed socialism", the primary stage is completely a deceitful lie

Thank you for your reply on my behalf. It was very accurate.

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.

The retarded fucking dumb ass dead-end bullshit that gets bumped on here does really piss me off yeah. As a guy who tries to post real actual stuff that's going on currently which is interesting, it gets frustrating competing with "why does the left LOOOOVE this rape gang from 10 years ago" and "no women want fuck hapa because looks it is true that why we need eugenic."
