I'm not gonna watch this one, but if anyone feels like watching it, please spoil for me exactly what she says and how Rania & Co. respond.

Doesn't really matter. He's just a social democrat Mayor. At best you can hope for in the US context is that he's basically the equivilent of a European Labor/Succdem politician.
If he's a decent Mayor, the main benefit will be that Socialism won't be such a no no word.

A-hem.

Nerdeen Kiswani:
This is deeply disturbing and not enough people are talking about it.

Zohran Mamdani just went to the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Ohel in Queens, venerating the founder of the racist, Zionist Chabad movement.

The Rebbe’s movement has a long history that should make anyone pause. In 1991 a car in his motorcade killed 7‑year-old Gavin Cato, a Black Caribbean child in Crown Heights. The first ambulance to arrive was Jewish Hatzalah, which took the Jewish driver and passengers before treating the child, who was killed by the motorcade. The Rebbe never apologized or took responsibility.

Fast forward to April 2025: Chabad invited far-right Israeli Minister Itamar Ben‑Gvir to their Brooklyn headquarters. Outside, a mob of Orthodox men chanted “death to Arabs,” surrounded and chased a woman they thought was a protester, threatened her with rape, kicked her, hurled cones and trash cans, and another Jewish supporter of Palestine was hospitalized with a bloody head wound. Hundreds followed her for blocks before police got her to safety.

Chabad-Lubavitch is actively cheering on and materially supporting the Israeli military. Branches have raised tens of thousands of dollars for the IDF, a Chabad charity in the U.K. was officially warned for buying military equipment for soldiers, and senior rabbis in Israel lobbied the government on war policies and settlements, framing military action as religiously mandated. Their “Moshiach” messaging and flags are everywhere — on Israeli tanks in Gaza and across NYC streets — signaling a messianic justification for this violence.

So Mamdani is venerating the leader of a sect that:
• is politically and rabidly pro-Israel,
• has tolerated violent, anti-Arab racism,
• never reckoned with a racist tragedy in its own motorcade,

As the far right grows, so should the all-people’s front – Communist Party USA


The few socialist legislators serving in Washington, D.C., and Albany, NY, who refuse all capitalist contributions are the exception — some capitalist funding goes to nearly every progressive legislator.

Communist candidates cannot accept money from billionaires and monopolies. But we can’t impose our position on every progressive and left-of-center liberal candidate. If we do, we will end up with only a few candidates to support. The task of halting the extreme right requires a much broader electoral front. How does our Party march side by side with anti–extreme-right elected officials from a capitalist party? Primarily through the mass movements, nearly all of which are involved in every election we have.

Our tactics must jibe with our strategy. What exactly do we mean by “tactics”? Lenin answered, “By the Party’s tactics we mean the Party’s political conduct, or the character, direction, and methods of its political activity” (Two Tactics). At the least, we must not be sectarian. Instead, we should be broad in our approach. We should not hammer on the shortcomings of elements of the all-people’s front. Many forces of the front do that already; there is no need for us to pile on. Communists, more than any other political force, must work to build up the coalitions involved.

This is true especially after primary elections are over and voters face the choice of a decent liberal candidate or an extreme rightist. Harsh criticism of a Democratic candidate, who will either defeat or lose to an extreme-right Republican, serves no positive purpose. Some on the left think they must cleanse their brains and souls by telling the masses how flawed the better candidate is. In an age of rampant misinformation, which hits people from many sides, this is an especially poor tactic. Nearly half of the population gets its news sometimes or often from social media (most likely Facebook) (Pew Research).

ngl,I have to agree.

if it's >animeme then it's literally just that anime is more culturally relevant in East Asian cultures than Western ones.


if its >same architecture then it's literally just that architecture is also culturally driven and that, at this time, architecture has pretty much been globalized and commodified to an extent where it looks the same everywhere. The western idea of architecture has just spread through the globe.

if it's >ads then you're close to grasping that China isn't a socialist nation, and is instead state capitalist. But Lenin said State Capitalism is OK in some of his letters so it's whatever (this is sarcasm, fuck Lenin and China)

Sad situation.

Meanwhile liberals will still never realize this and will think human generated problems will be stronger.

Islamists are a "false flag" in that they are trying to play the bullshit game of causing blowback against more Muslims to radicalise more Muslims towards "rising up" the point isn't to really cause terror, but to cause retaliation and crackdown against "moderates". Same tactics Zionists use to stoke antisemitism to get Jews to become more supportive of Israel.

That really does not appear to be what's been going on in Australia, and some of the Australian incidents have been traced directly to Israel.

The last Bondi beach incident iirc was essentially some junkie which someone had recruited to go and do an arson at a random deli. Using only Mossad as a source, the Australian PM blamed it on Iran, but few believed it. This time it's reportedly a Salafist pair (anti-Shia extremists of the kind the US and "Israel" have supported in Syria, and who Iran has opposed), and the narrative being pushed by zionists is much the same.

I'm also old enough to remember that time at the start of this year when someone went on a shooting spree in New Orleans with, apparently, an ISIS flag on their truck - and it turned out to be a soldier stationed at Fort Bragg who was apparently a recent convert.

There was also that zionist Arab (IIRC) immigrant who went on a murder drive through a German Christmas market at the end of last year, and had his identity not been revealed and his leanings understood, the wave of propaganda which immediately followed in order to try to paint him as some kind of Muslim extremist (he was anti-Muslim) might have been more successful.

George Galloway talked about it on the latest episode.

One of the victims.

American senators, immediately when a shooting in Asutralia with no link to Palestine happens: "This is what they get for recognizing a Palestinian state!"

I've heard it asserted before that the Gini coefficient measuring inequality is a good predictor of revolution. But I have to say I'm pretty skeptical of attempts to calculate this parameter in past economies without the kind of data we have in the modern era.

>>492744
Thank you! Do you know of others or newer frameworks in development? I think the coefficient seems a bit off.

People seem to get a lot of mileage out of scaring normies with AI doom sci fi. It's pathetic really.

I hope you posting here means that .org finally banned you, you ridiculous fuck. I'd say it was baffling that they waited so long to do it when they're so ban-happy for everyone else, but considering they seem to be run like a weird psyop, it makes sense that they'd make an exception for you.

Lawmakers urge Education Department to add nursing to ‘professional’ programs list amid uproar
The Trump administration’s list of professional programs includes medicine, law and theology but leaves out nursing and some other fields that industry groups had asked to be included. The “professional” label would allow students to borrow larger amounts of federal loans to pursue graduate degrees in those fields.

TSA renews push to end collective bargaining agreement for airport security screeners
The agency said Friday the move is based on a September memo from Noem that says TSA screeners “have a primary function of national security” and therefore should not engage in collective bargaining or be represented by a union.

Hawleys launch dark money group to revive anti-abortion politics
The Hawleys, who started dating when they were Supreme Court clerks, are launching the Love Life Initiative this week. They plan to run pro-family national ad campaigns. "If you look at the reason that most women think they need to have an abortion, most of those reasons are lack of support," Erin Hawley, a senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, said in an interview. She wants the focus to not just be on abortion, but also policies providing broader support for families

Bolivia quickly returns to the path of neoliberalism
THE recently inaugurated Rodrigo Paz has wasted no time in embarking on his project to neoliberalise the Andean country. According to the president, Paz proposes cutting public spending by almost 30 per cent in 2026, equivalent to four points of GDP. In addition, he has proposed eliminating a series of taxes, especially for the wealthiest. One of these is a special tax on large fortunes, which Paz has promised to eliminate. The special tax is levied on those with fortunes of more than $4 million (less than 1 per cent of the population) in a country where the basic salary is less than $400. The Confederation of Private Entrepreneurs has quickly and publicly welcomed the decision, which is complemented by a series of measures to make foreign investment “more attractive.” The elimination of taxes on gambling businesses has also been announced.

The Secret Plot to Raise Meat Prices
According to private and federal lawsuits, the country’s biggest meat processors have been using a secretive data company to share sensitive information, enabling them to hike up prices and suppress wages for decades. The revelation comes as meat prices have increased precipitously. Since 1985, the price of ground beef has increased by over 400 percent, far outpacing inflation. Meanwhile, meat-industry workers’ wages have largely stagnated. Despite growing scrutiny and public outcry over algorithmic price-setting of consumer goods and services, critics say meatpackers are settling these collusion lawsuits without admitting guilt or paying substantial penalties, meaning they’re free to keep using the data analytics firm to fix prices and drive down workers’ earnings. “[The meatpackers] win with their settlements, and never once do the packers have to admit guilt,” independent rancher Mike Callicrate told the Lever. “What’s happened is these law firms now have just gone around filing cases, knowing that they can take money out of the packer’s pocket, while the packer retains the ability to take it right out of the producer’s pocket and the consumer’s pocket.” And while President Donald Trump has promised to crack down on price-fixing in agriculture,Post too long.
