Looking forward to your retrospective. I'm really happy with this primary win for a leftist candidate even if I don't live in the US. It shows our cause is popular among the population and contributes to fighting off pessimism we sometimes see in our spaces.

I hope all you brothers and sisters currently living in Iran are safe and your family as well.

I’ve heard it a lot over the years but I think it really gained mainstream traction since 7th October 2023.

Here’s an israeli opinion piece in the Jerusalem post from 2015 where the author is arguing for the IDF to be renamed IOF unironically: https://www.jpost.com/blogs/impact-in-rehovot/should-the-idf-be-the-iof-403199

Zionists are such ghouls.

Here is a video of part of the boarding of the madleen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm3MEc8CcVk

There is also this proton drive with unedited footage from the Freedom Flotilla website: https://drive.proton.me/urls/CDYKESS7SC#ab0CGGgdRpYg

They called the footage: "IOF INTERCEPTION RAM BOARDING" LMAO IOF is becoming the official term I love it.

waow-based

I am not that familiar with the Geneva convention what is the war crime and violation of the convention here? Using unwitting truck drivers ?

You are uninformed on France politics and especially Mélenchon. He is not communist. He was a Trotskyist when he was very young but then pivoted and joined the socialist party. He held the education ministry under Chirac/Jospin government and is a committed reformist. He truly thinks election are the way to reform the current system.

FI is not classified as far left by any organism with credibility. The current FI program is less radical than the one from Mitterrand back when he won the presidency (no nationalization for example). The program is a social democrat/Keynesian one.

Despite this I still think hes the best chance for France and I think hes more radical than what their program lets on.

He also has some weird nostalgia for France imperialism claiming that he is proud France is present in all oceans for example (Thanks to France's colonies)

Having said all that I'm really fond of the guy and what he did to preserve the left in France and raise a generation of more radical militants through his Parti de Gauche and then La France Insoumise.

My brain did not even register the typo and just read it as "stochastic"

They are hoping to push someone who would believe them to murder him aren't they?

The well is khamas !!!

 

I have some free time coming up and I’d like to get into star trek but I have no idea where to start there’s too many series and movies. Anyone got a good guide for all this please?

 

I have recently been interested in organizing more (outside of animal rights and anti-racism) and was looking to join a communist org. Unfortunately the choice for these kind of movements is incredibly limited where I live. I found a trot org that is linked to IMT near me and was willing to give them a chance as choice is limited.

After reading their manifesto, I think I won’t bother... Here’s a translation of some paragraphs.

Our position is very simple: in every struggle, we always take the side of the oppressed against the oppressors. But this general position is not precise enough. We must add that our position is essentially negative. This means that we are opposed to all forms of oppression and discrimination - whether they target women, people of color, homosexuals, transgender people or any other minority.

However, we firmly and categorically reject “identity” politics which, under the pretext of defending the rights of this or that group, play a reactionary role, dividing the working class, weakening its unity and providing invaluable aid to the ruling class.

The labor movement has been contaminated by a whole series of ideas that were alien to it. Postmodernism, identity politics, “political correctness” and other oddities have been smuggled in from the universities by the “left” petty bourgeoisie, who act as a conveyor belt for reactionary ideas alien to the working class.

Stemming from “postmodernism”, identity politics have confused the brains of many students. But these ideas have also been introduced into the workers' movement, where they are used as weapons by the bureaucracy to combat the most resolute militants.

They have a whole FAQ section dedicated to how inclusive writing is wrong because it divides the working class ffs.

 

Hey, I’m quite new here learning stuff, having fun and mostly not understanding a whole lot, although I only had nice interactions around here comrade-doggo

Please share resources you think would be nice for me to learn about. Also feel free to ask my opinion about various subjects and teach me if you think I’m wrong/ignorant. I reserve the right to ignore some stuff as I suffer from anxiety and sometime getting out there is hard.

I might also be willing to discuss via SimpleX

I consider myself a leftist although not that educated.
