After much discussion and being voted for by a democratic majority, in the matrix. the new leftychan constitution has come into effect, replacing the outdated pre-split document. This should hopefully provide more clarity over the general goal of leftychan, the rights of users, the powers and constraints of mods as well as the specifics of how our user democracy functions. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the constitution in this thread or in the Matrix Congress room, which we encourage you all to join using the link above.
Additionally, another vote has passed to trial a self-improvement board on /777/ under the name of /chad/, which will be the roulette board for the next two months, replacing /roy/. Finally, for those not in the matrix chats, here is a recent votes and their outcomes:

10/21/22 - All mod account and janny accounts that have been inactive for 15 weeks or longer be deleted on the staff democratically decided upon. PASSED - 5 Yes - 0 Nay
10/15/22 - Make the maga communism thread cyclical in order to keep the board from getting shit up with tons of maga communism threads NOT PASS - 1 Yea, 4 Nay
10/11/22 - Tupamaro becomes an official jannoid PASS - 5 Yea, 1 Nay
10/11/22- /a/ will return to the board roster PASSED - 6 yeah 0 Nay

A vote has passed in the congress to establish a right wing debate general to argue against right wing talking points and keep them from leaking out onto the rest of the board. From this point on all right wing discussion points should be confined to this thread and this thread will be used for debunking them and generally punching rightoids in the dick. All right wing nonsense posted outside of this thread will be subject to a deletion hence forth if deemed necessary.

How a NGO quietly changes the demographics of Vermont
>New Farms for New Americans (NFNA) is a “charity” operated by the NGO “The Association for Africans Living in Vermont” (AALV). The goal of this NGO is to take arable land in the State of Vermont and give this land to third world refugees who were not born in America. AALV has helped facilitate the resettlement of over 300 refugee households in 2015 alone. In addition to giving refugees farmland, AALV has also helped refugees find jobs, which results in working class Americans having to compete with refugees who are often willing to work for cheaper wages than native born Americans.
>However, NFNA claims to have a budget that fluctuates, year to year and ranges from $50,000 to $100,000. The majority of NFNA’s claimed funding comes from grants. Some of these grants are from federal agencies such as the Office for Refugee Resettlement (Part of the Department of Health and Human Services) and the Rancher Development Program (Part of the Department of Agriculture). NFNA also receives funding from the Vermont State Government through the Local Food Market Development program (part of the Vermont State Agency of Agriculture).
>According to NFNA more than 50% of the refugees who they have resettled in Vermont are of Bhutanese origin, with most of the rest being from the sub Saharan African nations of Somalia and Burundi.
>I was not able to verify the identity of everyone on the board of the Association of Africans living in Vermont. But of the fourteen member board there were at least five different African immigrants and/or refugees on the board of AALV Martha Thiei Machar, Ngu Yves, Fatuma Bulle, Victor boardman, and Alex Pial.
>Chain migration is the phenomena of when immigrants from one area help bring other immigrants from their homeland to the country of destination. By allowing these immigrants and refugees to have a state funded NGO that facilitates more immigration from these immigrants African homeland, the native born people of America are deprived of one of the most important tenants of self-determination. The right to decide who to and not to let into their communities.

Hello leftypol, we noticed an under-appreciation for the theory that upholds our political ideologies: As such, we have decided to revive the reading sticky! This thread will be dedicated to the sharing, discussing, and general banter about various leftist thinkers, theories, and political outlooks.

But, other than that, we believe there are other important reads that must be addressed, especially, for beginners and those just now getting into leftism.

Don't forget to check out >>>/edu/ for more reading and discussion!

Something i find odd is that the food from those types of fast-food-chains does not taste good, I wonder if they found new yet unregulated addictive substances or something to get people hooked on this.

In some places corporate food-like-substances are the only available source of sustenance, especially for people that capitalism isn't allocating enough resources that would enable them to avoid the pitfalls of capitalism. Personal responsibility is not something that can be assumed anymore. We live in a capitalist system that means that the capitalists are the ones allocating the surplus, and by default the responsibility falls on who ever controls the surplus, that's the capitalist class in capitalism, and in socialism that would be the workers. Capitalism is extremely totalizing and individual people can only be ascribed personal responsibility in rare cases and you have to prove it's not systemic.

From a statistical perspective people that get impoverished by class societies, also tend to suffer worse health as a result of the impoverishment. If you politically disenfranchise unhealthy people, you are also politically disenfranchising the people that capitalism made poor. When people try to play these underhanded games of denying political rights to certain groups like wealth-deprived people , via a proxy concern-troll-mechanism, i can't help but think that Stalin was too kind.

You also made a logical error, there is no correlation between having healthy eating habits and being a good politician that makes decisions that lead to a prosperous society. There are many healthy neo-liberal politicians that make disastrously bad political decisions.

If you earnestly care about people eating better food, you have to fix the supply side, everything else is idealist and demonstrably does not work. There are people attempting to do harm reduction by appealing to self responsibility combined with good advice, that's commendable, but it is not a solution. While I've taken a harsh position against OP in this post, OP does get some credit for dunking on a corporate sludge cannon.

Remember we could be living in a world where all the research and development on food science and technology created food-choices that are all generally healthy.

I checked up on him out of curiosity, same paypigs throwing him gifted subs and I saw yankee tankie literally cry on VC with Haz. Apparently there will be a financial incentive for people to join his new org, so I suspect he’s trying to create an MLM.

Trotsky sabotaged the ussr with his petty-bourgeois opportunism. He always proposed shitty policies. He and his followers would sabotage the congresses by stalling. After he was purged for consistently being retarded, he died in a Mexican villa organizing against the movement in exchange for Porky's stipends and protection.

Trotskyites today only exist to make money and sabotage the movement. They infiltrate communist parties and destroy them as a profession by wasting time and being sectarian in nature.

That's a rather crude overgeneralization, don't you think? I don't think garbage like CPUSA need any help being infiltrated and destroyed. If anything, it seems like some of the most successful socialist and communist groups in the US are Trots, including Socialist Alternative and PSL. Granted there's a lot of other utterly irrelevant ones, but that's why generalizations are silly.

As some of you anons might be aware, Donald Trump has just been indicted a fourth time in a series of lawsuits designed to prevent him from running for office again. Trump is, of course, not being prosecuted over his many high crimes–the same high crimes that every other president has committed and gotten away with–instead, the lawsuits are only over completely frivolous shit, the illegality of which is dubious. The legal system is thus being used in ways it's never been used before to violate the unwritten rule that rulers are above the law and immune to legal retribution. The are historic parallels for this.

We saw what happened in Rome when this began to occur. The Roman legal system was used in unprecedented ways in Tiberius Gracchus's struggle against the Roman oligarchy for populist land reforms, the legal system used to undermine the powers of elected officials, both Gracchus himself and his opponents. This eventually culminated in the Senate-organized murder of Gracchus. What ensued after was a spiral of escalations where politicians became emboldened to use increasingly violent methods to go after their rivals, until finally the legal system was ignored entirely and culminated in a hundred years of civil wars and hundreds of years of despotic dictatorships.

My question is this: what should the left be doing when a crisis of faith in the current state's legal system seems to be approaching?

good point

I agree it really doesn't look like a Ukranian revolution would happen, then again if nobody expects a revolution that's probably the most opportune time for one.

The Russians could potentially gain a lot of political influence in such a political situation by offering the restoration of democratic processes. The Ukrainian hard right would probably try to bomb the ballots, assassinate candidates and so on. Tho I don't know if the Russians have the capacity to uphold security in such a "threat-environment".
