Lula Vetoes Law That Would Have Reduced Sentences for Coup Plotters in Brazil
In an act laden with democratic symbolism, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva exercised his total veto power on Thursday, January 8, to halt the Dosimetry Law, a bill promoted by the right wing in Brazil’s National Congress that would have benefited, among others, former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Venezuela to release prisoners in 'peace' gesture'
Venezuela released citizens and foreigners from its prisons on Thursday in what a top government official described as a gesture to “seek peace” less than a week after former President Nicolás Maduro was captured by U.S. forces to face federal drug-trafficking charges in New York. Jorge Rodríguez, brother of acting President Delcy Rodríguez and head of the National Assembly, said a “significant number” of people would be freed, but he was not specific about how many or provide names.

US set to file criminal charges against the crew of seized Russian-flagged oil tanker
US Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on social media that the crew of the Marinera, also known as the Bella 1, undertook “frantic efforts to avoid apprehension” of the tanker, which was allegedly “responsible for transporting sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.” She added: “As a consequence of failing to obey the coastguard’s orders, members of this vessel are under full investigation and criminal charges will be pursued against all culpable actors.

Inside Canary Mission’s Secret Web of Unlisted Sites
BlackNest is just one of the names of several unlisted websites and content management systems used by Canary Mission, whose doxxing operation is run out of Israel and used by the highest levels of the Trump administration. The information on these unlisted websites—including dozens of names of workers and contracted vendors,internal communications about meetings and quarterly plans, and even strategic planning documents—demonstrates how the operation evolved over time.

US protester arrested after TV interview says she was targeted due to Venezuela trip
Plichta, who recently co-founded local group Grand Rapids Opponents of War, which helped organize Saturday’s protest, had visited the Venezuelan capital of Caracas just last month, amid the Trump administration’s blockade. She was a part of a delegation to the International People’s Assembly for Sovereignty and Peace of Our Americas. Activists from dozens of groups planned to attend. But after Trump ordered that Venezuelan airspace be “closed in its entirety” on 29 November, many canceled their trips. Plichta still attended, visiting communes and meeting with activists there, and claims she even spoke with Maduro.

Ep 999 - Nazis, Pedophiles, Drunks, Rapists & Thieves (1/5/26) (Chapo Trap House)
We return from break to talk about the horrific kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro and the continuing moral depravity of the gangster state called America. We speculate on what this act of imperial aggression means for the rest of the world, the hilarious snubbing of the Venezuelan opposition, the predictably inept response from the Democratic party, and the hope that someone, somewhere, can stop the Fourth Reich’s plans. Finally, we read a recent Wall Street Journal piece on Trump’s aging and addiction to aspirin.

Squid Game really happened in Sarajevo
In January 2025, Italian writer Ezio Gavazzeni reopened a horrific cold case by filing a complaint with the Milan public prosecutor’s office. It concerned wealthy individuals who went to Bosnia during the siege of Sarajevo and paid large amounts of money to be allowed to shoot at innocent civilians. Just for ‘fun’. This subject is not entirely novel. There were a few testimonies already in the 1990s, but they were never dug into seriously and were often considered unverified war rumours. But this ‘urban legend’ turned out to be true. Reckless, sadistic bourgeois – reminiscent of the masked oligarchs in the Korean TV series Squid Game – did indeed participate in this atrocious pastime. Gavazzeni has based his investigation on the work of Slovenian director Miran Zupanič, who authored the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari produced by Al Jazeera Balkans. Al Jazeera subsequently shut down its Balkans division, but the purpose the Qatari media outlet had in screening this film was to denounce the plight of Muslim Bosniaks. It is only due to this intervention from outside of Europe that this story has once again come under the spotlight. This horror, which speaks amply of the rotten heart of the European ruling elite from which these ‘tourists’ mostly came, could have easily passed quietly into obscurity, had it been left to that same elite.

Also btw according to polls 14% of americans support communism, and like twice that support socialism. Your numbers are probably conservative, there's a large pool of potential recruits out there if we could reach them and utilize their very limited time, energy, and resources effectively.

While networks of extremely dedicated and disciplined communists will form the backbone of the proletarian state, large numbers of the masses will have to be brought into conspiracy against the bourgeois state and in material support of the proletarian armed forces.

Party declaration:
https://x.com/ACPMain/status/1815163785134436404

The American Communist Party (ACP) is an organization which aims to reconstitute the historic Communist Party USA, which has become corrupted by federal agents and liberal forces. Look no further than Joe Sims, who supports the genocidal Democratic Party. It was launched in July of 2024, in response to the events of the 32nd Convention of the CPUSA. At this convention, party leadership subverted and betrayed democratic centralism and the freedom of critique which is supposed to follow from it. They claimed to be a genuine Marxist-Leninist party, but the leadership doesn't even follow their own rules. The CPUSA delayed all elections and without a vote made a resolution that they’d basically just campaign for Democrats. Just a bunch of boomers sitting around and writing articles about identity politics rather than organizing.

Already the ACP is far more successful than anyone would have expected from a brand new baby party. They are building reputation locally, taking care of their own communities and making areas safe for children and families to enjoy. Diplomatic ties on the international level have already been established. ACP has garnered more attention in the past couple months than the corrupt, decadent CPUSA leadership has in decades. A huge number of the CPUSA clubs across the entire country had a huge part in making this happen. Will you join up?

The thread about Abrahamic religions being compared to Nazism got gulag'd https://leftychan.net/gulag/ but here is my reply:



Xi Jinping's take is the following (from NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/16/world/asia/china-xinjiang-documents.html
, use addon like Bypass Paywalls Clean if you can't read):

In several surprising passages, given the crackdown that followed, Mr. Xi also told officials to not discriminate against Uighurs and to respect their right to worship. He warned against overreacting to natural friction between Uighurs and Han Chinese, the nation’s dominant ethnic group, and rejected proposals to try to eliminate Islam entirely in China.

“In light of separatist and terrorist forces under the banner of Islam, some people have argued that Islam should be restricted or even eradicated,” he said during the Beijing conference. He called that view “biased, even wrong.”



Furthermore, the Infrared stance seems to be not to disrespect people's religions because it is alienating or something. Infrared's Haz said something like socialism is not just about being right but to correctly articulate their class position.

Sounds crazy, I know, but I think Xi-fans should at least consider the flaws of China's "Do nothing, win" strategy, and how it may paradoxically still lead to its undoing.

The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.

Porky has put a lot of effort since the Vietnam War to avoid making Amerikkkans feels the impacts of US wars of aggression to great success. Despite the amount of conflicts the US is involved in as we speak, anti-war sentiment is negligable. There was nothing like the anti-war movement during Vietnam, which by itself wasn't even strong enough to end the war either. It was the Vietnamese who militarily defeated the US that ended the war.

Amerikkkan reliance on proxies and mercs is the key to maintain the Empire. If they can make China's neighbours fight them in their stead, they they can win, and have East Asia plundered, like they have plundered Eastern Europe since the 90s, to give capitalism another 50 years.

China has failed to counter this problem completely, letting country after country on their borders fall into US hands in recent years. Once friendly countries turned into enemies.
China's rebranded 'socialism in one country' strategy isn't enough to resist US aggression. The US doen't need to do much to blockade Chinese shipping, and block all imports from entering the mainland. Going from "random" drone boats sent from US vallal states, to airstrikes and piracy conducted by US forces themselves, which they have been training for through the recent attacks on Russian and Venezuelan ships.
China can't retaliate against this adequately, due to their lack of bases or proxies of their own around Amerikkkan territory.

China's complete neglegt of this danger may be its downfall. For all their greatness, they cannot last against a neval blockade, land siege and hybrid warfare, the US has been preparing for.

This is why solidarity is so important. Supporting comrades in other countries isn't about kindness. It ensures you will not be attacked by brothers turned against you.

OP do you have any idea how far ahead China is materially? VERY roughly how advanced a society is can be measured by it's energy usage.

They have 200x the naval manufacturing capacity. They have literally better chemistry and more powerful explosives. They produce half of the steel produced on this planet while the US produces 5%.

You mentioned Taiwan and the navy, but Taiwan is just off the coast of China, they can just sit there and send clouds of drones and whatever the hell else at Taiwan if they wanted to.

I completely agree with this.
The situation is such that it's down to every single bit of solidarity that can be had.

I agree with the rest, too. The US would lose in a direct war with China - and a direct war against China, Russia, the DPRK, Iran, and whichever BRICS-aligned global south countries decided to join would completely destroy the US's grip on global power and end the existence of its vassal states. With this in mind, the Chinese strategy only seems to leave a huge opening for the US to consolidate global hegemony to such an extent that there are no trading partners who would disregard US sanctions or disobey US marching orders.

The US's strategy relies on mercenaries, proxies, and large scale economic warfare, so this approach which China takes, which seems to allow for individual countries more aligned with China to be attacked and destroyed one by one, seems really ill-advised to say that least. The US's reliance on mercenaries, and its willingness to spread itself thin and take on unreasonable debts… are all vulnerabilities, but not ones that China appears to even be that eager to exploit. Frankly, looking at the US today, it's not impossible to get the impression that the mercenaries took over running the empire some time ago, so I can't even rule out that the US would still be a threat if something like that occurred.

We know why they don't label mainstream religious beliefs as delusions and why they come up with their numbers-based cope about what constitutes a delusion: because they'd run themselves out of business if they insulted so many people. Ergo, they prioritize money, killing their credibility with everything else. How is one supposed to know whether or not they're drawing out treatment to get more money?

Scientific evidence show that kids a few months younger in a classroom have more adhd "diagnosis". Kids who are in classrooms that don't have 32 pupils but 24nare reduced risk of "adhd". it's a literal scam.

That's way too many data centers. Having 10 in a small city would already be weird.

I don't think even the average computer enthusiast really appreciates how fast a modern computer is. A top of the line personal computer would be considered a supercomputer in the 90's, like the ones used for rendering CGI for Jurassic Park, or performing nuclear simulations.

And they need that many of them? To brute force solutions to problems that probably aren't socially applicable, and only work 95% of the time at best?

Clearly there is something wrong here, and there is an incredible waste of resources.

Like after all that, can they even make a robot that will do my dishes? Even with a dish washing machine? I have yet to see that. They couldn't get self-driving cars to work after decades, so I think we're finally seeing this AI shit peak.

And you know what, I'm glad, because at first this AI stuff seemed like it would really might get to human levels of intelligence. I'm happy it's really just a toy.

And maybe I should be happy in the short term that this is where they're putting surplus value - into making computer chips that turn electricity into heat, instead of more weapons and war or something worse.
