#BongBong #MarcosJr of #Philippines got an “unprecedented love-bombing” from #Biden as tensions with #China rise in #AsiaPacific.

#Marcos’ predecessor, #Duterte, was openly hostile to #US and attempted to bring his country closer to #communist China.

Philippines, as #Taiwan’s neighbor to the south, would be an indispensable staging point for US military to aid Taiwan in case of a Chinese attack.

Today in Labor History November 8, 1923: Hitler led a failed coup d’etat in Munich, known as the Beerhall Putsch. Inspired by Mussolini’s march on Rome, roughly 2,000 Nazis marched on Munich, but were repelled by police, who killed 16 Nazis in the process. Hitler escaped, wounded, but was eventually caught and imprisoned. The putsch brought Hitler to the attention of the German public for the first time, and his trial gave him his first significant public platform. In prison, he dictated “Mein Kampf” to fellow prisoners, Rudolf Hess and Emil Maurice. Nearly 11 years later, on May 2, 1933, in one of his first acts after coming to power, Hitler abolished all labor unions. Storm troopers occupied union offices across Germany. Union leaders were arrested, beaten, tortured and imprisoned, or sent to concentration camps. In the coming months, thousands more communists, anarchists and labor activists were arrested and murdered.

Yesterday, at the #Dublin march, I literally found myself in this meme.

A young and inspired man approached me and asked if I was interested in a newspaper about the #Communist State.

I informed him that I had lived in the Communist State for 10 years and said Communist State had put my grandfather into concentration camps. So, thank you, but I'm not interested.

For Alexandra Elbakyan, Sci-Hub is in essence #communist. ‘We must move from the concept of “intellectual property” to the concept of “intellectual communism” when knowledge and information are free and belong to everyone.’

https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/pb-assets/OA%20chapters/Briel_9781802076622_ch5_OA-1687267442.pdf

Granted, she describes #scihub as ‘so far the most radical, and .. most successful, take on #openaccess’. Still, is there an argument Sci-Hub is not actually about ‘genuine’ OA. Not if the latter is understood conservatively in terms set by:

1) the ‘big publishers’ and other gatekeepers (funders, government, REF): the citation advantage, metrics, competition with non-OA publications, as @jonny says;

2) the academic profession: individual recognition, reputation, visibility, esteem, symbolic capital, promotion, career progression.

Those may be the criteria Abdelghani Maddi uses to evaluate Sci-Hub:

https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2023/10/25/sci-hub-presents-a-paradox-for-open-access-publishing/

But don't those criteria perpetuate the current publishing system far more than Sci-Hub?

The word #anarchist seems to me too restrictive and I don't use it unless it is joined by the word #communist.

— Daniel Guérin

There's a group called Moms For Liberty that try to ban anything they don't like.

If they can call themselves "for #liberty" while being anything but, then it's easy to understand how #Nazis can call themselves "#socialist" while being anything but.

Today in Labor History October 24, 1947: Walt Disney testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, naming many of his own employees as communists, including Herbert Sorrell, David Hilberman and William Pomerance, because of their activism as union organizers. In 1993, the New York Times wrote that Disney had been passing secrets to the FBI from 1940 until his death in 1966. In return, J. Edgar Hoover let Disney film in FBI headquarters in Washington and made Disney a "full Special Agent in Charge Contact."

Inside #OperationPBSuccess, When The CIA And A #Banana Company Destroyed Guatemalan Democracy

In 1954, Operation PBSuccess dismantled #Guatemala’s newfound democracy — so that an American fruit company could continue to profit off the old government’s corruption.

By All That's Interesting | Edited By Jaclyn Anglis
Published April 5, 2021
Updated June 12, 2023

"Throughout the early 20th century, an American multinational corporation called the #UnitedFruitCompany — now known as #Chiquita Brands International — controlled vast swaths of #Guatemalan land and production. Aided by a corrupt #autocracy, it received little pushback over decades of economic #exploitation.

"But in the 1940s, a democratic revolution and calls for #justice threatened to undermine United Fruit’s position. So the company leveraged its powerful connections inside the White House — painting the new Guatemalan government as a dangerous #Communist administration in the process.
As a result, the #CIA launched Operation PBSuccess: a sweeping coup that destroyed the country’s #democracy, installed a #dictator, and sparked a decades-long #CivilWar and #genocide of the #Indigenous #Mayan people."

I found this overview and history of the #French #Communist Party (#PCF) quite good, but I'm also not very knowledgeable about it to begin with, so let me know if/where it misses or gets wrong any part of the story.

I find the life of political parties interesting. Why do they succeed and why to they fail? The PCF is a great study in that regard, IMHO. A lot of lessons to be learned.

Brazilian architect, Oscar #Niemeyer, designed the French Communist Party Headquarters building in #Paris. Designed in 1966, construction began in 1968. It was inaugurated in 1971 but its external dome was not fully completed until 1980.

IMHO, this is a truly amazing building (although I've never visited). Stunning in so many ways.

Perhaps most striking today is to consider how big the #French #Communist Party was at one point.

I recently read "The Revolutionary Science of Marxism-Leninism" by J. Sykes, published by #FRSO (Freedom Road Socialist Organization) and I found it to be an excellent entry-level text to #ScientificSocialism. It's very approachable and easy to read for any leftist and, I believe, is quite persuasive in it's argument for embracing #DialecticalMaterialism and #HistoricalMaterialsm as primary ways by which to understand and change the world. Sykes also describes the #Leninist form, organization, and inner-process of a #communist party and how that can be an effective strategy for seizing and maintaining working-class power (the #DictatorshipOfTheProletariat) as we advance into the #socialist stage of human development. Those are perhaps the most commonly expected and basic topics, but he also delves into the #MarxistTheoryOfKnowledge, #PoliticalEconomy, #Imperialism, the #NationalQuestion involving the oppressed nations within the US, #WomensLiberation, and #QueerLiberation. I think this is a must read for anyone who considers themselves on the #Left and desires a deeper understanding of our world!

He is taking a course on Marxist ideology.
He says, “The only real solution is to smash the system and start again.”
His thumb is caressing the most bourgeois copy of the communist manifesto that I have ever seen,
He bought it at Barnes and Noble for twenty-nine U.S. American dollars and ninety-nine cents,
Its hard cover shows a dark man with a scarved face
Waving a gigantic red flag against a fictional smoky background.
The matte finish is fucking gorgeous.
He wants to be congratulated for paying Harvard sixty thousand dollars
To teach him that the system is unfair.
He pulls his iPhone from his imported Marino wool jacket, and leaves.

What people can’t possibly tell from the footage on TV
Is that the water cannon feels like getting whipped with a burning switch.
Where I come from, they fill it with sewer water and hope that they get you in the face with your mouth open
So that the hepatitis will keep you in bed for the next protest.
What you can’t tell from Harvard square,
Is that when the tear gas bursts from nowhere to everywhere all at once,
It scrapes your insides like barbed wire, sawing at your lungs.
Tear gas is such a benign term for it,
If you have never breathed it in you would think it was a nostalgic experience.
What you can’t learn at Barnes and Noble,
Is that when they rush you, survival is to run,
I am never as fast as when the police are chasing me.
I know what happens to women in the holding cells down there and yet…
We still do it.

I inherited my communist manifesto,
It has no cover—
Because my mother ripped it off when she hid it in the dust jacket of “Don Quixote”
The day before the soldiers destroyed her apartment,
Looking for subversive propaganda.
She burned the cover, could not bring herself to burn the pages,
Hoped to God the soldiers couldn’t read,
They never found it.
So she was not killed for it, but her body bore the scars of the torture chamber,
For wanting her children to have a better life than she did,
Don’t talk to me about revolution.

I know what the price of smashing the system really is, my people already tried that.
The price of uprise is paid in blood,
And not Harvard blood.
The blood that ran through the streets of Santiago,
The blood thrown alive from Argentine helicopters into the Atlantic.

It is easy to say “revolution” from the comfort of a New England library.

It is easy to offer flesh to the cause,
When it is not yours to give.

— Catalina Ferro, “Manifesto”

“Generic #Communism designates a #free #associative #egalitarian #society where the activity of #polymorph #workers is not governed by regulations and technical or social articulations but is managed by the #collective power of #needs. In such a society, the #State is dissolved as a separate instance from public coercion. #Politics – much as it voices the interests of social groups and covets at the conquest of power – is de facto dissolved.

Thus, the purpose of #Communist politics aims at its own disappearance in the modality of the end of the form separated from the State in general, even if it concerns a State that declares itself #democratic."

The state cannot #discriminate on the basis that the current administration doesn't like the concept of #Marxism or #communism. #Discrimination on that basis constitutes #viewpoint discrimination—a violation of the #FirstAmendment. To be clear, the #AmericanLibraryAssociation (ALA) isn't a #Marxist or #communist organization. The complaint against them is completely fabricated to advance a specific agenda in #badFaith. Calling the ALA "Marxists" is just a red herring.

it's my propaganda poster for her, in shades of olive, sage, coral & rose. decca has an olive-coloured 3/4 halo behind her 1930s be-bobbed head. stripes of coral & rose jut from the right side of the page & read 'decca mitford: top muckraker'.

The #Italian #Communist was one of the most important thinkers of the 20th-century. If you are new to #AntonioGramsci, #MarkEngler and #PaulEngler’s piece at Dissent is worth your time.

So, I guess I finally should make the #introduction post -- no, really. Especially, today is the last day of my current vacation, so now or never.

#German 🇩🇪 of #Ukrainian 🇺🇦 origin, born and grew up in #Ukraine, now residing and researching in #Czechia 🇨🇿 .

[If you can speak German 🇩🇪 with me, please do this - I had no chance to learn the language in my family because of damned #soviet #communist rule and its nationalistic repressions, but I really intend to combat this issue.]

#Scientist . More precisely, #chemist ⚗️ (#Electrochemistry, #Nanoscience, Coordination Chemistry of 3d metals, #Quantum Chemistry calculations ⚛️). #PhD in Physical Chemistry.

#Cisgender #heterosexual #white #male. #Married, no #kids, a #dog.

Voluntarily #Lutheran ✝️ .

#Linuxoid. #Mint, #RaspberryPiOS. #Debian in anamnesis; Fedora/CentOS - in primordial times. #Android on #rugged #smartphones. High performance computing on desktops (#Orca, #CP2K).

#Paranoid. Enthusiastic about #XMPP, #Jami and similar privacy-aware stuff, as well as about reviving of some unfairly forgotten technologies like #Gopher and #RSS (yes, I intentionally put them in one line - maybe a bit sarcastically, but still sadly).

Eventually writing on #Python 🐍 . Enthusiast of modern #Fortran, but so far without extra time to seriously involve, unfortunately. Some #Arduino and #RaspberryPi #GPIO stuff.

#DYI at home 🛠️ .

#Gothic music.

#Filmphotography 🎞️ and #photography 📷 in general. #Biking 🚲 (currently without a bike -- left in Ukraine), #hiking ⛺ , #rafting 🛶 (proudly with travels along 10 rivers in UA on a rubber boat with a friend), #stargazing 🔭 🌌 (currently suspended - the #telescope left in UA, the #binocular donated to Territorial Defense Forces of #Kyiv).

Eventual #DX #radio 📻 (I really believe #AM radio is to be saved as a safety and anti-censorship measure).

Deterritorialization - Wikipedia 1

"Anti-Oedipus (1972), they observe that the understanding of the psyche was revolutionized by Sigmund #Freud's concepts of libido and polymorphous perversity, and thus the psyche was initially deterritorialized, but he then conceptualized a new territory, the Oedipus complex, an understanding of tension in the psyche that is in favor of repression, thus reterritorializing it"

Critique of pure reason part

  1. Appropriative economy
  2. Imperial jurisdiction
  3. war
    1. #Marriage as a way to eliminate incest ( or patriarchy coming with nation state - is it just the fear of others .. has it failed?)
  • Questions
    • Is Categorical imperative #communist ?
    • Can a critique even be epistemological?
    • Can effective #feminism be non violent ?## I have sufficient reason to suspect that #Hegel fell for it when he said> Hell is other people## This base to superstate dynamic is a lot like induction , #hume was right , you can't take it for conclusive evidence of knowing

Momentous events happened 32 years ago #OTD in the aftermath of the 1991 #Soviet #GKChP coup: two days after #Gorbachev 's return from his house arrest in #Foros in #Crimea , he resigned as the general secretary of the #Communist party, the #CPSU

In #Kyiv (back then Kiev) the Rada of #Ukraine adopted the #Independence Act and called for a referendum in support of it - the country is marking its main state holiday today

@JeSuisUnHombre That's the thing: "us" and "the planet" are at odds, and have been for a long time. That conflict predated #capitalism and still continued under rapid industrialization of the so-called #communist planned economies.

Phrases like "the most good" always beg the question: "good for whom?" Who will fight for the countless animal and plant species? Who will advocate for future generations? Definitely not the majority of the population, regardless of the particular reigning -ism.

🎨 #London's Brick Lane, well known for its street art, has become a talking point after one of its walls was covered by slogans extolling #Chinese #Communist Party ideology.

The "core socialist values", composed of 12 two-character words, are some of the most common political slogans under President #Xi Jinping's rule. Political propaganda in the form of red block characters on a white wall are a familiar sight in #China.

George Santos Mysteriously Got Big Bucks From a Bunch of Newbie Donors

The donor pointed to legislation Santos had sponsored, specifically a bill introduced to support #Guo #Wengui, the self-identifying #Chinese #Communist #Party dissident who was recently brought up on federal charges related to a $1 #billion #fraud #scheme.

#Santos has leant vocal support to Guo in recent months, and has sponsored a total of 11 bills targeting the #CCP over the course of his brief tenure in Congress, all of which were introduced after Guo’s arrest in March,

Latest #MillennialsAreKillingCapitalism episode is about theory in the #NewAfrikan #Communist tradition:

"In this episode we welcome Thandisizwe Chimurenga and Yusef “Bunchy” Shakur to have a conversation that revolves around Sanyika Shakur’s final book, Stand-Up, Struggle Forward: New Afrikan Revolutionary Writings on Nation, Class and Patriarchy."

https://millennialsarekillingcapitalism.libsyn.com/the-mind-is-the-weapon-thandisizwe-chimurenga-and-yusef-bunchy-shakur-on-the-political-writings-of-sanyika-shakur

a collage: the book covers for Sanyika Shakur's books "Monster" and "Stand Up, Struggle Forward", James Yaki Sayles' "Meditations on Frantz Fanon", and "Vita Wa Watu: A New Afrikan Theoretical Journal, Book 11"; a photograph of James Yaki Sayles' smiling; images of the podcast guests, and other people referenced.

My experience of white liberals as a brown Marxist can be summed up in two lines:

"He ain't a crook son
He just a shook one."

Never fucking trust them. Backstabbers, collaborators and snitches.

Alright so, list of tags and stuff below. Main points are I'm a genderqueer radical anarchist who streams and shit. I also got a degree in physics, and talk about that alongside political stuff a whole lot. A favorite topic of mine is discussing ableist language, and trying to make spaces where we can avoid that. To that end I run a small minecraft server, a discord server, and try to get queues and groups going for games I play.

I also have a lil cactus.

Because #antisemitism in the #Polish Army in the #UK is the topic of the book I am writing, I was of course pleased to see that Kyle Orton (still only on birdsite AFAIK) recently posted a piece on Tom Driberg, who was the leading advocate for the #Jewish soldiers.

A (onetime) #communist--later, Soviet agent---openly #gay High Anglican who became a Baron, Driberg is a fascinating & complex figure

simultaneously belonging to an active french resistance cell (the one that included francois mitterand, of course). it was during that same decade that she joined the french communist party, the PCF. no wonder the main theme of the novel to which i alluded at the start ('abahn sabana david') is the art of refusal & the freedom of a defiant 'NO!'

If I was a #teacher in #Florida, I would no longer be a teacher in Florida.

If I was a #parent of a #school aged #child I would be moving my family out of Florida.

Teachers in Florida are now under threat of a 3rd degree #felony if they allow access to any book not on the specifically state-allowed books for kids to read. According to the comments I have seen from several teachers, this list is next to impossible to obtain - so they are having to remove everything but textbooks from their classrooms.

This is oppressive dictatorship stuff. These people love calling everyone else "communists" but this is exactly the sort of things that #communist rulers have done in China, Russia, and North Korea.
