One Year of Genocide

Continued from >>484995

Updates 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, and threw parades celebrating the exchange. The ceasefire is on terms Hamas had already agreed to in May 2024.

Following Hezbollah strikes on Tel Aviv, a ceasefire in Lebanon was agreed to on November 27th. Israel proceeded to violate this ceasefire more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country at the agreed-upon 60 day deadline, prompting unarmed civilians to stage protests and drive them out of parts of south Lebanon.

Lebanese Army leader Joseph Aoun was elected president of Lebanon.

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.

Houthis says they targeted ‘vital and military’ sites in Tel Aviv

Houthis said in addition to “vital and military” sites in Tel Aviv, the group also carried out a military operation targeting a US aircraft carrier called Vinson in the Arabian Sea.

The operation was conducted with “a number of drones”, the group said.

There has been no immediate comment from Israel on the purported firings.

The Houthis have been carrying out attacks in what they say is a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, promising to keep up their strikes until Israel ends its war.

The US, Israel’s top ally, has responded with a campaign of aerial bombings against Yemen that have killed many people across the country. A recent strike hit a migrant detention centre in the Saada governorate, killing dozens.

Activist ship with 30 people on board sinking after drone attack near Malta

Earlier, we reported that an Israeli military drone has reportedly attacked a vessel with the Freedom Flotilla activist group as it set off to break Israel’s Gaza blockade and deliver aid to the besieged enclave.

Yasemin Acar, a media officer with the group, has now told CNN there is a “hole in the vessel” and the “ship is sinking”.

Acar said the ship was attacked off the coast of Malta in international waters, and it is now anchored 17km (10.5 miles) from the country. The crew has “sent out SOS calls to the surrounding countries” and a “small boat” from Cyprus has been sent to help, she added.

“We have 30 international human rights activists on that vessel at this very moment, on a vessel that is sinking,” said Acar.

Posting on X, the group said a drone attacked the ship twice at 00:23 Maltese time on Friday morning (22:23 GMT on Thursday night), breaching the hull and causing a fire to break out on board.

How much do you agree with Peter Coffin's main thesis that "The left" these days basically does not functionally exist in any real materialist fashion, and what presents itself as the ""left"" is mostly a consumerist "fandom" not all that different from people who are Star Wars fans or Trekkies or 40k nerds etc and that much of the ""Left"" actually end up purpetuating Capitalism, Capitalist goals and the system, by just draping red over largely Neoliberal positions. He brings up how BLM funnelled billionare money to rich liberal NGOs and how "Land Back" movement is trademarked and run by a Real Estate agency who want to privatize public lands and National Parks.

15 years of attacks on the working class and the popular strata of Greece
These days mark 15 years since the social-democratic PASOK government announced the activation of the “support mechanism” for the Greek economy by the EU and the IMF. This was followed by three agreements (memoranda) with the EU for the “salvation” of the Greek economy, accompanied by thousands of anti-people laws at the expense of the working class and the popular strata. We are talking about savage cuts in wages and pensions, heavy taxation, the dismantling of social security and collective agreements, a fierce attack on trade union action, the mass bankruptcy of the self-employed, small tradesmen and poor farmers, the privatization of critical sectors, the underfunding and shutdowns in health and education.

Anti-War Direct Action in Ukraine. What's New Since Winter?
Special thanks to our French comrades from the Solidarity Initiative Olga Taratuta in preparing this material In the second half of 2024, the Ukrainian army was moving towards a loss of combat capability and outright collapse at the front. Then, during the winter came a tightening of the screws in terms of discipline. The threat of a collapse on the frontline only loomed again when the US under the new Trump administration suspended military aid. The State Bureau of Investigation claims that about 21,100 fugitive military servicemen returned to the army thanks to a new law allowing them to avoid punishment for the first escape. The deadline for this expired on March 1. But even now, a criminal case for AWOL (absence without leave) will not be initiated if the period of absence is less than three days, and the soldier will not be deprived of pay. If the absence lasts for more than 3 days, a criminal case will be opened. It can be closed if the fighter ran away only for the first time and the commander allows him to continue serving.
With the failure of patriotic brainwashing after three years of war, the Ukrainian state is still able to hold the front using fear and monetary incentives.

Against War, Exploitation and Fascism: Workers, Rise Up! Peoples, Resist! – TKP-ML May Day Statement
The imperialist-capitalist system is in the midst of one of the deepest crises in its history. The capitalist mode of production’s quest for continuity is leading, on the one hand, to growing social inequalities in imperialist countries and, on the other hand, to the deepening of brutal exploitation policies in colonial and semi-colonial countries. From the US to Germany, from Russia to China, the major imperialist powers are embroiled in a vortex of economic, political, and military hegemonic wars. The stagnation of capital accumulation, the shrinkage of markets and overproduction are sharpening the internal contradictions of the system. These contradictions are weaving the bloody ground for a new world order behind the facade of temporary “stability.”

May Day 2025: Against Capitalist Crisis, Against Imperialist War! No War but the Class War!
May Day 2025 finds capitalism, no matter who’s in charge, drenching the world with the working class’s blood. It’s now 50 years since the end of capitalism’s post-war boom. After decades of declining profit rates in the “real economy” the situation is becoming more and more dire as war becomes increasingly the only option for states to confront capitalism’s insoluble crisis. Imperialist wars are burning across the world from Ukraine, the Middle East, the African Sahel, the Congo and elsewhere, and a generalised world war looms on the horizon. The international working class has no interest in these wars caused by the capitalist system. They bring increased class repression, privation, displacement, death and genocide: all for a system far past its historical sell-by date. This crisis has no reformist solution: the solution of the working class can only be revolution.

Massive power outage in Spain and Portugal leaves thousands stranded and millions without light

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — An unprecedented blackout brought much of Spain and Portugal to a standstill Monday, stranding thousands of train passengers and leaving millions of people without phone and internet coverage and access to cash from ATMs across the Iberian Peninsula.

The sudden crash of the power grid also left authorities searching for its cause. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez addressed the nation and said that almost 11 hours after the nation ground to a halt, government experts were still trying to determine what happened.

“We have never had a complete collapse of the system,” Sánchez said, before detailing that at 12:33 p.m. on Monday Spain’s power grid lost 15 gigawatts, the equivalent of 60% of its national demand, in a matter of five seconds.

Spanish power distributor Red Eléctrica’s head of operations Eduardo Prieto said the event was “exceptional and extraordinary.”

Spain had recovered more than 92% of its power by 5 a.m. on Tuesday, according to Red Eléctrica, and the prime minister pledged that the entire country of 48 million would have lights back on by the end of the day.

It was the second serious European power outage in less than six weeks after a March 20 fire shut down Heathrow Airport in the U.K., and it came as authorities across Europe gird against sabotage backed by Russia.

The Portuguese National Cybersecurity Center in a statement said there was no sign the outage was due to a cyber attack. Teresa Ribera, European Commission executive vice president in charge of promoting clean energy, indicated the same to journalists in Brussels and called the power outage “one of the most serious episodes recorded in Europe in recent times.”

<It's Russian gremlins
Groan. Sigh. Not this again.

Most electrical grids only have fly-wheel momentum of large steam-turbines from large thermal power-plants as energy buffer. And that's not a lot. Many Solar and wind-power parks were installed without batteries, and that's not particularly helpful for grid stability either. So without knowing what Spain's energy grid looks like, i'm guessing this is most likely a case of too many unfavorable conditions happening all at once. The solution probably is to install more buffer capacity.

If this was foul play, i wonder who's got motivation to fuck with Spain. I don't have any real guesses, the Spanish show a lot of solidarity with Palestinians, maybe Israel ? IDK

There's simple explanation, maybe they just over-taxed the system, and they have to expand it.

>>489127
I'm for nuclear plus renewables too, but we have to be realistic, renewable energy sources cause grid instability if they lack sufficient battery buffer. There's a lot of smart-copium, where we pretend that we don't have to install buffer capacity if only all the stuff was smart. We're not doing our selves a favor trying to cheat.

Demographics are no more collectivist than biological species are, this is just a classification. A classification often done by collectivists themselves (nationalists, conservatives) to demonize these demographics.
>socialist economics (collectivism)
Capitalism is often more collectivist than socialism is (nationalism, conservatism, wage slavery, ochlocracy, etc.). It's possible to build socialism on individualist principles since the main things socialists object to are class society and (in the case of communists) money.

Panama opposition party accuses US of ‘camouflaged invasion’
A full text of the MOU included aerial photos of Fort Sherman, Rodman naval base and Howard air force base, with areas outlined for “training”, “humanitarian activities” and the “installation of US property”. The Panamanian government says they are not “military bases” and that the deal is temporary, but opposition parties have rejected such claims.

Don't wanna make new thread but:

How did 'bride kidnapping' come back so fast in the post-Soviet states? I think I read somewhere it was illegal in the Soviet years.

I honestly think the Soviets fucked up real hard by going after religion. It's caused the post-Soviet reaction to swing back hard in the direction of traditional culture. When the state capitalism of China gets rolled back completely to full-blown private capitalism, you can probably expect foot binding to return as well.

I agree a little bit, but organized religion should have no power over the state.


>It's caused the post-Soviet reaction to swing back hard in the direction of traditional culture.

So conversely, not repressing religion would have meant there was LESS of it after a COLLAPSE? What are you smoking?

>When thing gets reformed back to it's prior self
Pure wishful thinking.

3/10 post. Please do better.

During Tsarist rule the church was rather horrible, so the Soviet reaction of going full state atheism, should also be considered in context. But you're not entirely wrong the soviets over-corrected. But they did mostly fix it later, I think.

> It's caused the post-Soviet reaction to swing back hard in the direction of traditional culture.

No that's not the reason, the Soviet dissolution pulled the rug from under people, and religion was a crutch to cope with the catastrophe.

>When the state capitalism of China gets rolled back completely to full-blown private capitalism, you can probably expect foot binding to return as well.

20 years ago, this statement would have been understandable, but now ?
The Chinese went economically left when capitalist crisis hit their system, and that shit seems to have worked. So a roll back seems unlikely.

Virginia Giuffre, who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, dies aged 41
Giuffre’s family issued a statement confirming she took her own life at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years
Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent victims of the disgraced US financier Jeffrey Epstein who also alleged she was sexually trafficked to Prince Andrew, has died. She was 41.

Her family issued a statement on Saturday confirming she took her own life at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years.

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking,” the statement read.

“In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”

Giuffre was one of the most vocal victims of Epstein, alleging she had been groomed and sexually abused by him and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, beginning in her teens.

The family described her as a “fierce warrior” against sexual abuse and sex trafficking and a “light that lifted so many survivors”.

“Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure,” they said.
