Comrades,

I come to you today to convey what I deem an urgent message regarding the tumultuous times that lie ahead. In brief, I have substantial reasons to believe that we are on the precipice of a significant escalation in censorship on a global scale. Indeed, I regret to inform you that this troubling trend seems to have already commenced. For those seeking to bypass these oppressive measures, I encourage you to focus on the tools and guides that follow.

For various reasons—some of which must remain undisclosed—I urge all to swiftly acquire fundamental skills to counter what I categorize as mid-level censorship tactics. Below are some points I can share to underscore the gravity of this situation.

Firstly, the United States made a genuine attempt to ban TikTok, an app that, while initially intended for lighthearted dance videos, has now evolved into one of the fastest avenues for disseminating information. It is worth noting that despite the attempted ban, my investigations (details withheld for security) have revealed a marked increase in censorship compared to the period prior to this initiative.

Moreover, I suspect that the Tor Project anticipates a rise in global censorship, which may jeopardize the Tor network's capacity to circumvent these mechanisms. However, I am constrained from disclosing further information on this matter.

Additionally, it has come to my attention that several social networks are actively suppressing links and discussions surrounding tools designed to combat censorship, such as Linux and Distrowatch.

Here is a concise list of essential tools, predominantly free software, that I recommend:

1. An affordable laptop or desktop.

Signal Compromise Likelihood Increase

When I mentioned on .org that Signal was compromised I was immediately told to kill myself and there were an interesting amount of other emotionally charged language from an anon attempting to claim expertise when they clearly couldn't understand the methodology of the audit they used as proof of its soundness.

Soon after I made it clear their reactions to me were tells that demonstrated that Signal shouldn't be trusted .org went down.

I address you in a spirit of utmost seriousness. We find ourselves at a critical juncture—indeed, we are at Defcon 1. I am in the process of revising my technological recommendations, and I shall provide more comprehensive updates as swiftly as possible. I apologize for my recent absence; my efforts are now directed toward collaborating with multiple factions within the resistance. This message will be brief, yet I assure you, further elaboration will follow in the coming days!
In true revolutionary fashion, I have been engaged in Soviet-style shock work for our cause, and I encourage each of you to do the same. Below, you will find two significant updates!
Firstly, I am in direct communication with numerous members of the resistance, including the alternative park rangers. I possess the ability to leak vital information to them, albeit with the necessity of maintaining strict anonymity. We can ensure that neither your names nor your email addresses are exposed—layers of protection are paramount! Furthermore, I can provide leaks to other groups I am assisting, ensuring that your data remains fully anonymized before any information is transmitted.
Next, I must convey an urgent update regarding my technological advice. There exists an elevated risk associated with our communications; an exploit has emerged in signal that could potentially lead to de-anonymization. Moreover, we face increasing challenges concerning anti-censorship efforts. Therefore, my current recommendation is to utilize Briar and to avoid cell phones whenever possible. A more detailed update will be forthcoming, likely in a new thread. Major updates are urgently required!
Comrades, it is imperative that we all contribute to our collective struggle! I implore you to prepare an extensive E-library of banned literature—our intellectual arsenal must be as robust as our resolve!

The point of calling it the terrorism party was to pre-empt smears.
You might also need to declare that your terrorism party is also hyper-racist and whatever else they might throw at you, to continue pre-empting. If you do it with very thick sarcasm, and practice the opposite, you might gain a layer of political teflon, where none of the smears stick anymore.

Why did the Western far-left become the 2SLGBTQRPGMMO+++ rainbow mafia?
It genuinely is perplexing to me that Western leftists seem to hold even the most absurd AGP sex fetish shit and BPD tumblr furry xenogender larping as the most ultimate leftist purity test, yet then will accept literal fucking Capitalists into the movement wihtout hesitation.
I used to think this shit was exaggerated, but it's honestly not, most western leftist spaces are just rainbow mafia/idpol obsessed and you can't push back on even the most absurd, eye rolling narratives, without getting asked to leave, or if online, copping a ban, this includes communities like leftypol(dot)org.
Even holding the same policy positions, as most Communist Parties in the Global South, will get you banned from basically any Westoid "Leftist" space. Leftypol lets you claim Xi is based or whatever, but if you actually espouse his policies, enjoy your ban because it doesn't align with Western Idpol shit.
Why is the Western left like this? Don't they realise that this shit makes them look like absolute pozzed student larping retards to the majority of the working class?
Would most Western "leftists" even want to live in a Working Class led society? They do realise the Working Class is largely soft-Socially Conservative right?

Because of some insecurity and standard set up by the previous imageboards they went to, desperately not wanting to be anything like the sjw boogeymen.

Like this absolute fucking anti materialist ooga booga spiritual trite. You side with this dude and get rid of black or muslim dudes, you crippled your own movement by getting rid of people who relate to you on class boundaries, and then he'll get rid of you when you only got reactionary idpol'ers left. Ironic,because this is LITERALLY what many right-wing gays say about nonwhite people, though he probably thinks they're all "faggots" and not in the imageboard sense.
Anyways, I think it's fucking retarded and even though I think a lot of the gay shit is silly and irrelevant(even when not talking about working class issues specifically, you can't compare transphobia to shit nonwhite people have faced, hell unscratch that, their issues are directly connected with labor 9/10 times), I won't pretend they're worse than people who will actively violently refuse leftist issues and solutions. I don't give a shit, I prefer them and their cringe flags over that. Attacking them for their gay shit helps no one, it just gives the right more talking points and seem like their valid in picking boogeymen.

Ok lets unpack this, the US wants to encircle China and keep it in a subordinate role, of providing labor-power for what they call low and medium value added economic tasks. Basically design and finance is supposed to happen in the US while resource processing and assembly is supposed to happen in China. That way imperial capital can extract imperial super-profits, and they can play Chinese workers against US workers.

While China accommodates US companies and lets them exploit Chinese workers, they haven't been doing that for free. China was technologically behind and this arrangement allowed closing the technology gap. The US got cheap labor-power and the Chinese got newer technology. And the Chinese are now caught up and capable of generating homegrown technologies too. The Chinese consider this a fair exchange where both sides benefited and now want to continue the trade relationship with the US but in a way where the Chinese also do the high valued added stuff like design.

The US will now proceed to try various schemes to knock China back down into a subordinate role (like what it tried and failed with Russia) and when that fails, the US will be forced to divest from imperial militarism and re-invest into domestic industrial production and all the other stuff like infrastructure etc.

You are correct about the propaganda method, it's trying to portray China as the [insert political faction appropriate boogieman here]. And that's why the portrayal of China is so contradictory.

If you are listening to what the Chinese are saying, they plan on doing something similar to social democracy by the mid 2030s. That will be completed in the 2050s and by the late 2070s they will begin transitioning to communism which they think will take another 100 years to fully realize. So full communism in the latter third of the 22nd century. The 2050s date is also the time frame when the falling rate of profit bottoms out according to Marx's theories, so that time-table probably isn't a coincidence.

When the profit rate declines, competition between capitalists intensifies. Meaning that one capitalist will try to increase their profits at the expense of another capitalist.

It's hard to predict how exactly this is going to play out. I guess that in the 2050s about half the workforce will work on stuff related to consequences of climate change. Many coastline cities will have flooded and there will be a big rebuilding and relocation effort. Combined with declining population demographics labor-power will be very scarce. So that'll probably squeeze the profit rate.

I don't know what the Chinese are planning to do, they've been doing a lot of cooperatives, maybe those can be turned into non-profit orgs or something.

In the past capitalism used wars to destroy capital and clear out the balance sheets to restore the profit rate, but as far as i can tell that recent big-ish war in Ukraine didn't really move the needle, so warfare as a means of counteracting the falling profit rate could be over. Not sure why that is tho.

It's already getting harder to commercialize technology, there's a bunch of cool stuff we could technically do, but we aren't doing it because there's no business-model for it. I guess that aspect of technology will continue to grow and eventually find expression in some other form.

IIRC the only thing about Kaczynski's ideas which overlapped with Marxism in any way was his basic (correct) assertion that the progress of technology and production fundamentally changes the character of society. This is a really simple materialist observation about how economics and society work, which inevitably made it mindblowing in the context of the idiotic 1990s era of neoliberalism and culture war shit where the relationship between production and culture was completely obfuscated in popular analysis.

In May, Hamas agreed to it. The Biden admin then turned around and claimed the opposite and continued to support Israel without applying any pressure on Israel whatsoever.

It was not until Witkoff visited Netanyahu and, reportedly, made threats to Israel that Israel immediately agreed to the ceasefire agreement which Hamas had already agreed to in May of 2024. I do not know if I believe the official account, I think that Trump may very well have simply made a deal with the Israelis beforehand, but in any case, Biden refused to apply any serious pressure at all on the Israelis, lied on behalf of the Israelis by (falsely) blaming Hamas for the failure to reach an agreement, and bears no credit whatsoever for the ceasefire. Whether Trump made a deal behind the scenes or simply applied the pressure that he reportedly (according to people who were in the office when Witkoff visited Netanyahu) applied on the Israelis, he took action which got the result. Biden categorically refused to do that.

AI-fuelled warfare is the terrifying reality that the tech sector refuses to discuss
As global leaders, policymakers and tech innovators convene at the AI Action Summit in Paris on Monday, a glaring omission in its agenda raises concerns: the lack of any meaningful dialogue on the militarisation of artificial intelligence (AI). This oversight is particularly alarming given recent revelations about the involvement of both Microsoft and Google in supplying the Israeli military with AI technology, which has concerning implications for human rights and international law. Reports from DropSite News, +972 Magazine and The Guardian reveal that Microsoft’s Azure platform has been used extensively by Israeli intelligence units to power surveillance systems, contributing to systematic human rights abuses. Recent revelations have also highlighted Google’s deep involvement in supplying advanced AI tools to the Israeli military as part of the $1.2bn Project Nimbus contract. During the October 2023 Gaza offensive, Google’s Vertex AI platform was reportedly deployed to process vast datasets for "predictions" where algorithms analyse behavioural patterns and metadata to identify potential threats. Proprietary Israeli military systems such as Lavender, The Gospel, and Where’s Daddy? also played a central role in the Gaza war. Lavender, an AI-powered database, reportedly flagged more than 37,000 individuals as potential assassination targets during the first weeks of the war, with operators spending as little as 20 seconds reviewing each case. Where's Daddy? tracked individuals via their smartphones, enabling precise air strikes that often targeted entire families. Such tools demonstrate how AI is being weaponised against civilian populations, raising urgent concerns about accountability and compliance with international humanitarian law.

Trump administration will consider redrawing boundaries of national monuments as part of energy push
Among the sites most at risk are Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in Utah, where state officials fought against their creation. Grand Staircase-Escalante holds large coal reserves, and the Bears Ears area has uranium. Trump reduced the size of the two monuments during his first term, calling them a “massive land grab.” He also lifted fishing restrictions within a sprawling marine monument off the New England Coast.

Saudi Arabia: 20,000 killed in vanity construction project
Recent reports into NEOM – an impossibly ambitious series of megaprojects being constructed by the Saudi Arabian monarchy in the desert – have revealed the slave-like conditions of the workers, which have already led to 20,000 deaths. NEOM – “the city of the future”, a “new world wonder”, and a “revolution in urban living”, according to its website – is a collection of sci-fi megaprojects dreamt up by absolutist Saudi crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) and his well-paid contractors. They are currently under construction in a largely barren desert region of Saudi Arabia, the driest and hottest part of the whole country. Among its plans are: the only ski resort in the Middle East; an island retreat with glow-in-the-dark, marble beaches; a floating, octagonal industrial complex; and an upside-down underwater skyscraper that can only be accessed by submarine. In other words, a playground for the rich.

V. I. Lenin: Principles Involved in the War Issue
Let us carefully consider what rejection of fatherland defence implies, if we approach it as a serious political slogan that must really be carried out. First. We call on the proletarians and the exploited of all the belligerent countries, and of all countries faced with the danger of war, to reject defence of the fatherland. We definitely know now, from the experience of several of the warring countries, what this actually implies in the present war. It implies rejection of all the foundations of modern bourgeois society, the undermining of the very roots of the modern social system, and not only in theory, not only “in general”, but in practice, directly and immediately. Is it not clear that this can be accomplished only if we go beyond the firm theoretical conviction that capitalism has fully matured for its transformation into socialism and accept the practical, direct and immediate carrying out of such transformation, i.e., the socialist revolution? Yet that is nearly always lost sight of in discussing refusal to defend the fatherland. At best there is “theoretical” acceptance of the fact that capitalism is ripe for transformation into socialism. But imPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
