"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985


International Anti-Capitalist podcast run by an American, a Slav and an Arab.

they should have a template to make [citation needed] like 10 times the size so people don't miss it.

Hello everyone, I'm an Italian looking to get involved. I am struggling to find any good communist party in Italy, these are the only two that seem decently popular

  • PCR I would like to avoid Trotskyites
  • PMLI this seems the most promising, but I am not sure

What are your thoughts?

Edit: fronte comunista seems good

Would it be possible to ad bots like the ones from r/thedeprogram that discuss prevalent myths about Communism?

For example, the bot that talked about tiananmen square, it contained concise information that debunked common western narratives about the event.

Would this be useful though, considering lemmygrad is heavily vetted against right-wing infiltration?

Please, let me know what my fellow proles think.

The FBI is currently investigating Ermiya Fanaeian for “possible ties” to Tyler Robinson “as the FBI has widened its probe to include a potential ‘extended network’ that could have aided Robinson”.

Ermiya Fanaeian is the founder of Armed Queers SLC (a pro-gun LGBTQ group in Salt Lake City). She’s trans. She’s a revolutionary leftist who openly opposes liberalism. She’s pro-gun, and she recognizes the inevitability of violence amid revolutionary struggle. She’s a “political organizer with ties to communist politics”. Her parents are Iranian immigrants.

In other words, she’s based as fuck, she’s a comrade, and she’s someone conservatives and liberals would both be glad to see persecuted.

If you ask me, I’d say its important that we all pay very close attention to Ermiya Fanaeian and this story as it unfolds.

Call me crazy, but I think the feds are going to make an example out of her, and I think they’re going to use her to ‘test the waters’ and gague whether or not the general public has been adequately primed to accept a significant escalation of anti-leftist persecution under the pretense of “combating left-wing terrorism”.

(Just for fun, type “anti-leftist persecution” into google and see what comes up)

I can’t shake the feeling that American leftists have some seriously bad shit coming our way, and I can’t shake the feeling that we aren’t ready for it.

It could just be an algorithm thing, and I'm sure it is a factor, but I swear the comment sections of so many posts are INFESTED with neo-nazis. Unrelated posts, anything that could be vaguely construed as against their ideology, posts of a POC asking "what are some cool things to do while visiting Australia", small posts, large posts, if they have someone not-white in it, the comments are filled with disgusting filth spouting their racist nonsense. Not even like a few, I'm saying filled. Not just Australian Neo-nazis but most white countries. I gotta delete my acc like jfc I just wanted to watch stupid videos while shitting.

Has anyone else noticed this?

The West definitely isn't more tolerable idc what people say but I'm disappointed with Eastern Europe and surprised by the Balkans. Europeans are just hateful ass people, they even hate their neighboring countries. No wonder that peninsula has been at war for most of its existence.

But I hope things improve with Eastern Europe. I'm learning more about the Balkans, Serbia seems like a really nice country and I'm even thinking about moving there. I asked DeepSeek what's the best country for a 3D Generalist to move to and it said Poland and The Czech Republic. But I'm Black and I already deal with rampant anti-Blackness in America.

As pointed out in the comments, the weekly podcast could also serve as a more general thread for broader topics that are not necessarily mentioned in the podcast itself but aren't "worthy" of a separate post altogether

Sabra and Shatila massacre was the 16–18 September 1982 killing of between 1300 and 3500 civilians—mostly Palestinians and Lebanese Shias—in the city of Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War. It was perpetrated by the Lebanese Forces, one of the main Christian militias in Lebanon, and supported by IOF that had surrounded Beirut's Sabra neighbourhood and the Shatila refugee camp.

Hmm, I wonder if dialectical and historical materialism has to do something with it? 🤔
