I'm not aware of anything "new". They simply have a very... wide... definition of antisemitism. According to them, anything that may be disliked by any Jew is antisemitism and should be removed, and people should get warnings that they are going to get banned, if they don't stop publishing posts like that. On the other hand, being anti-Arab is perfectly fine.

I want to be part of the solution of the problems I see on Lemmy, that is why I opened my alt account at my current server to open new communities while fixing their issues.
I had been informed by the server admin that I should not post more than 5 posts in any local community which is guaranteed to kill my communities on my current server.
I am explaining the backstory here for people to understand my logic for my question.
So, I really appreciate any help here. If anyone can give me good servers to open my communities in.
My current communities: - News: to lower the load on Lemmy. World server and to improve the Fediverse health. - Europe: due to less than optimal moderation actions as documented in "power trippin " community. - Misinformation/ Disinformation: Because there is no community to post research and news about this topic.
Thank you all for your help. I really would appreciate any lead here.
slrpnk.net doesn't require an email, makes it optional in case you want it for password recovery. And as far as I know it doesn't have the restrictions you mention.
But if you only use that email account for authentication to the system and it's not tied to you, they have no way of tying it back to you. It's just an anonymous email address.

Israel and Iran exchanged fire again on Wednesday, the sixth day of strikes in their most intense confrontation in history, fuelling fears of a drawn-out conflict that could engulf the Middle East.
Iran has killed "a significant number" of officers and commanders in strikes on Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and military intelligence centers, the Tasnim news agency reported on Tuesday.
We can certainly wait a long time for reliable verification or falsification from the Western media.

But theyll use whatever they can get. The kind of opposition you're talking about isn't going to patriotically adhere to the current Iranian government because of the attack. They aren't "Democrats" to the government's "Republicans".
@heretical_i I know is more complicated than that. My point is that you have to be blind to not see what is happening. This is not the 70's or 80's when the CIA could "planned and work out" a coup and nobody would question anything. Today we can SEE in a minute what's going on. Even if the powers to be try to change the narrative so Hard.
A compilation of a series of lectures by Liu Shaoqi (Mao Zedong’s number-two man and the President of Communist China) at the Yunan Institute of Marxism-Leninism in 1939, this book was more popular in Communist China than the works of Chairman Mao! For decades it was required reading for all party cadre on discipline and individual self-cultivation.
These early philosophical writings underpinned the Chinese revolutions and their clarion calls to insurrection remain some of the most stirring of all time. Drawing on a dizzying array of references from contemporary culture and politics, Zizek's firecracker commentary reaches unsettling conclusions about the place of Mao's thought in the revolutionary canon.
This seminal text argues that the perceived passivity of the poor is the direct result of economic, social and political domination. The book suggests that in some countries the oppressors use the 'piggy bank' system - treating students as passive, empty vessels - to preserve their authority and maintain a culture of silence. Through cooperation and dialogue, Freire suggests, the authoritarian teacher-pupil model can be replaced with critical thinking so that the student becomes co-creator of knowledge. Crucial to Freire's argument is the belief that every human being, no matter how impoverished or illiterate, can develop an awareness of self, and the right to be heard.
"State and Revolution" (1917) describes the role of the State in society, the necessity of proletarian revolution, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution. It describes the inherent nature of the State as a tool for class oppression, a creation born of one social class's desire to control all other social classes. Whether a dictatorship or a democracy, the State remains in the control of the ruling class. Even in a democratic capitalist republic, the ruling class will never willingly relinquish political power, maintaining it via various strategies. Hence, according to this view, communist revolution is the sole remedy for the abolition of the state.
“This transformation of competition into monopoly is one of the most important – if not the most important – phenomena of modern capitalist economy.” – V. I. Lenin
During the First World War, Lenin found himself isolated, but he was not afraid to fight against the stream. He dedicated all his strength to educating and training the Bolsheviks on the basis of the genuine ideas of Marxism. His masterpiece, Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism, is an immortal monument to his work in the vital field of theory.
No book has ever explained the phenomena of modern capitalism better. Indeed, all of Lenin’s predictions concerning the concentration of capital, the dominance of the banks and finance capital, the growing antagonism between nation states and the inevitability of war arising out of the contradictions of imperialism have been shown to be true by the entire history of the last 100 years.
Using the empirical evidence and statistics at his disposal, Lenin explains that, in the stage of imperialist monopoly capitalism, the entire economy is under the domination of the banks and finance capital. Today, over 100 years after it was first published, this domination is 100 times greater.
This audiobook contains three major works on Marxism: The Communist Manifesto, Wage-Labour and Capital, and Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
Blackshirts & Reds explores some of the big issues of our time: fascism, capitalism, communism, revolution, democracy, and ecology. These terms are often bandied about, but seldom explored in the original and exciting way that has become Michael Parenti's trademark.
Parenti shows how "rational fascism" renders service to capitalism, how corporate power undermines democracy, and how revolutions are a mass empowerment against the forces of exploitative privilege. He also maps out the external and internal forces that destroyed communism, and the disastrous impact of the "free-market" victory on eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. He affirms the relevance of taboo ideologies like Marxism, demonstrating the importance of class analysis in understanding political realities and dealing with the ongoing collision between ecology and global corporatism.
Written with lucid and compelling style, this book goes beyond truncated modes of thought, inviting us to entertain iconoclastic views, and to ask why things are as they are.
"A penetrating and persuasive writer with an astonishing array of documentation to implement his attacks." —The Catholic Journalist
"By portraying the struggle between fascism and Communism in this century as a single conflict, and not a series of discrete encounters, between the insatiable need for new capital on the one hand and the survival of a system under siege on the other, Parenti defines fascism as the weapon of capitalism, not simply an extreme form of it. Fascism is not an aberration, he points out, but a 'rational' and integral component of the system."—Stan Goff, author of Full Spectrum Disorder: The Military in the New American Century
Michael Parenti, PhD Yale, is an internationally known author and lecturer. He is one of the nation's leading progressive political analysts. Author of over 275 published articles and twenty books, his writings are published in popular periodicals, scholarly journals, and his op-ed pieces have been in leading newspapers such as The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times. His informative and entertaining books and talks have reached a wide range of audiences in North America and abroad.

Description: This is a very early (1847) FAQ file for Communism, written by Karl Marx's main collaborator, Frederick Engels. Engels had previously written "Draft of the Communist Confession of Faith," which uses a similar, catechistic format of questions and answers, but this document is better-developed. However, Engels still did not find it satisfying and wrote to Marx, "“Think over the Confession of Faith a bit. I believe we had better drop the catechism form and call the thing: Communist Manifesto. As more or less history has got to be related in it, the form it has been in hitherto is quite unsuitable. I am bringing what I have done here with me; it is in simple narrative form, but miserably worded, in fearful haste. ...”

This is Lenin’s seminal text on social revolution and how to achieve it, published some 16 years before Russia’s October 1917 Revolution. His plan to overturn the Czar’s ruthless autocratic regime proposes the establishment of a cadre of “professional revolutionaries” with the necessary skills and experience to counter the regime’s secret police.
Lenin derides trade unionists as “wretched amateurs”, arguing that a struggle for simple economic betterment is not enough, nor are patchwork reforms – what is needed is the complete overthrow of the political system. Lenin’s “professional revolutionaries” are not so much ‘shock troops’ of violent rebellion as educated activists who will awaken the workers’ class consciousness, leading them to reject western-style political factions and to work within the Party to achieve the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the October Revolution and the ensuing upheavals of the twentieth century.
It's time to read theory, comrades! As Lenin says, "Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle." Marxism-Leninism is broken into 3 major components, as noted by Lenin in his pamphlet The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism: | Audiobook
Dialectical and Historical Materialism
Critique of Capitalism along the lines of Marx's Law of Value
Advocacy for Revolutionary and Scientific Socialism, as well as the theory of Class Struggle.
As such, I created the following list to take you from no knowledge whatsoever of Leftist theory, and leave you with a strong understanding of the critical fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism in an order that builds up as you read. Let's get started!
Section I: Getting Started
What the heck is Communism, anyways? For that matter, what is fascism?
Parenti's characteristic wit is on full display in this historical contextualization and analysis of fascism and Communism. Line after line, Parenti debunks anti-Communist myths. This is also an excellent time to watch the famous speech.
Section II: Historical and Dialectical Materialism
Engels introduces Scientific Socialism, explaining how Capitalism itself prepares the conditions for public ownership and planning by centralizing itself into monopolist syndicates and cartels.
Section III: Political Economy
That's right, it's time for the Law of Value and a deep-dive into Imperialism. If we are to defeat Capitalism, we must learn it's mechanisms, tendencies, contradictions, and laws.
Further analyzes the necessity of Revolution and introduces the economic basis for the withering away of the State.
Section V: National Liberation, De-colonialism, and Solidarity
The revolution will not be fought by individuals, but by an intersectional, international working class movement. Solidarity allows different marginalized groups to work together in collective interest, unifying into a single broad movement. Marxists support the Right of Self-Determination for all peoples and support National Liberation movements against Imperialism.
De-colonialism is essential to Marxism. Without having a strong, de-colonial, internationalist stance, we have no path to victory nor justice. These books are best taken as a pair, read in quick succession.
Section VI: Putting it into Practice!
It's not enough to endlessly read, you must put theory to practice. That is how you can improve yourself and the movements you support. Touch grass!
Mao wrote simply and directly to peasant soldiers during the Revolutionary War in China. This pair of essays equip the reader to apply the analytical tools of Dialectical Materialism to their every day practice.
Common among new leftists is dogmatism over pragmatism. Everyone wants perfection, but dogmatic "left" anti-Communists let perfection become the enemy of progress.
Common among western leftists is fetishization of Marxism, rather than using it as a tool for analysis and social change. This article helps rectify that.
Organizing is a skill. If we are to be successful, we must work to better ourselves.
Congratulations, you completed your introductory reading course!
With your new understanding and knowledge of Marxism-Leninism, here is a mini What is to be Done? of your own to follow, and take with you as practical advice.
Read theory. Don't think that you are done now! Just because you have the basics, doesn't mean you know more than you do. If you have not investigated a subject, don't speak on it!
Aggressively combat white supremacy, misogyny, queerphobia, and other attacks on marginalized communities. Cede no ground, let nobody go forgotten.
Be industrious, and self-sufficient. Take up gardening, home repair, tinkering. It is through practice that you elevate your knowledge.
Learn self-defense. Get armed, if practical. Be ready to protect yourself and others.
Be persistent. If you feel like a single water droplet against a mountain, think of canyons and valleys. With consistency, every rock, boulder, mountain, can be drilled through with nothing but water droplets.
"Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent."

I read your program, it seems very much in the flavor of Social Democracy, and as a consequence erases Imperialism as the biggest factor in the United States economy. Some of your conclusions, like simply taxing the US to end global poverty, ignore the entire mechanism by which the US Empire runs, cheap labor in the Global South kept dependent on US dollars and foodstuffs.
Further, you reach out to the 1% as the target demographic for this movement, rather than the working class. Next, there's a lack of Materialism, you place far more value on money than on actual production. All of these flaws absolutely cripple your analysis. Finally, the most damning, is a reliance on simple policy changes being possible in a system dominated by the Billionaires you claim as the enemy, the only way to actually wrest control from them is revolution.
I highly recommend you engage with political theory. I'm a Marxist-Leninist, so I keep an intro Marxist-Leninist reading list. Without understanding the how and why of the system, you can't learn how to end it. Capitalism cannot be reformed to save it, merely delay collapse while still depending on Imperialism like European Social Democracies. We need Socialism, and revolutionary organizing to overcome the evils of today.

To be fair, Marxists have been attacking Imperialism since it began to solidify at the turn of the 20th century. Any methodology and analysis that excludes Imperialism as a factor is fundamentally wrong, the US economy is not inwardly supported but externally.
I don't really know what you're getting at. Read the sources I've linked, do some study, all it seems to me is that you're just laughing at someone who took OP seriously and offered a serious critique on the basis of it being a critique common to Marxists, which I already said I was.

MOSCOW, June 18 (Reuters) - Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned on Wednesday that direct U.S. military assistance to Israel could radically destabilise the situation in the Middle East, where an air war between Iran and Israel has raged for six days.
In separate comments, the head of Russia's SVR foreign intelligence service, Sergei Naryshkin, was quoted as saying that the situation between Iran and Israel was now critical.

‘Mr President, give the order’: Israelis call for US military intervention amid Israel-Iran war escalation
Israeli media and political commentators are rallying behind calls for direct US military involvement in the war, with mounting pressure on President Donald Trump to authorize strikes that could tip the balance decisively in Israel’s favor..
Al Jazeera reports that public sentiment in Israel has reached a fever pitch, with widespread anticipation over a possible green light for B-52 bomber deployment. The front page of Yedioth Ahronoth today featured a photo of Trump aboard Air Force One with the headline: “Mr President, give the order.”
The move is being framed by Israeli voices as a potential turning point that could “finish the job” once and for all
- I can’t say whether we will strike Iran - Iran wants to negotiate. Nothing is too late - I may or may not strike Iran - Iran has reached out. I said it’s very late. They suggested they come to the White House - Unconditional surrender means I’ve had it with Iran - They’re totally defenseless, they have no air defense whatsoever - Next week will be big, maybe less than a week 1/2 #IsraelIranWar #USA #trump
- My patience has already run out. Good luck [to Khamenei - I told Netanyahu to keep going - I told Vladimir, let’s mediate Russia first. You can worry about Iran later
China tells Oman ‘we cannot sit by’ and let Israel-Iran situation escalate: foreign ministry
In a separate phone call with Oman’s foreign minister Wednesday, Wang said the two countries “cannot sit idly by and let the region slide into an unknown abyss”
Palestinian sources have reported that the Israeli army has occupied a large number of homes in Hebron, Jenin, Ramallah and Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank, and converted them into military barracks after evicting their owners.
The is what they, OF COURSE, claimed Palestinians were doing all along. Like the tunnels that were found in TelAviv, This is an #Israeli idea, NOT #Hamas. The tunnelss were not an original idea of Palestinians, but of #Israel Israel had tunnels under TelAviv, revealed by the bombing, as did a synagogue in New York City. The members of the synagogue in NY claimed they didn't know about the tunnels!
In the towns of Rummana, Anin and Jalboun near Jenin, 17 homes were seized, while several other homes were taken in the southern area of Hebron and the town of Idhna to the west. Israeli soldiers also converted a three-storey building into a headquarters in the town of Birzeit, north of Ramallah.
The soldiers forcibly evicted more than 50 residents, most of them children, citing security reasons. When the families asked to retrieve essential belongings, the soldiers assaulted them.
It appears that only one Iranian ballistic missile was fired
Footage and photos of it launching from Iran show what appears to be a new kind of missile breaking through the atmosphere. A very unusual kind of missile, unlike others fired so far - MPN
Former US Army analyst urges Americans to oppose war with Iran: ‘Israel is not our ally’
Former US army intelligence analyst and current W. Asia peace advocate Josephine Guilbeau has called on American citizens to act urgently to prevent Washington from launching a direct war on Iran.
“This is the moment where our country must unite to protect its citizens from being dragged into a war on behalf of a genocidal country. Israel is not our ally,” Guilbeau said.
- We have a major escalation 🤪 UK Prime Minister Starmer's Cobra meeting has begun.
- On the other hand, this one I think is much more serious. President Trump is holding a second National Security Council meeting in the Situation Room
The United States has begun mass-evacuating its military bases in the Middle East in a manner that suggests it may participate in striking Iranian nuclear facilities in the near future, unless a breakthrough is reached behind closed doors.
"The strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran does not contain any articles on the defense sector, and Tehran is not asking for this," - Vladimir Putin
"Trump wants to make sure an attack on Iran is really needed, it wouldn't drag the US into a prolonged war in the Middle East, and - most of all - would actually achieve the objective of destroying Iran's nuclear program.
President Trump has specifically asked his military advisors whether or not the Massive Ordinance Penetrator (MOP) would destroy Fordow. Pentagon officials told Trump they're confident they would, but it's not clear that Trump was totally convinced."
The general mood among US allies in the Gulf is extremely tense, especially after President Donald Trump indicated that he is still considering intervening in the conflict between Israel and Iran, despite the potentially high costs of such a decision ......
That is, the Gulf countries gave trillions of dollars to Trump and now there is a chance they will get my balls, or Trump's to be more precise, and they deserve it for trusting or trying to buy him
as you should be. the fact of the matter is partly numbers (between the zionists and oil companies and the defense contractors) trump got paid more to be team israel than team aramco. the other part is good old racism. fuck those muslim donors.
Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass wenige Generationen nach dem #Nationalsozialismus und nach der #DDR - #Diktatur der Übergang zur nächsten #Tyrannei so einfach möglich ist.
Und mich hat es gewundert, daß es so lange gedauert hat, nach der DDR. Aber zumindest wurde die Zukunft schon 99 am Beispiel Jugoslawien gezeigt. Und jetzt, wo jede relevante Konkurrenz des Systems weg ist, kann es endlich mit den Kriegsspielen richtig losgehen. Scheiß auf ne Demokratie, die nie eine war, Scheiß auf irgend ne Freiheit und Menschenrechte werden sowieso nur angeführt, wenn sie nützlich sind. Auf in den Kampf und der Kapitalismus zeigt sein wahres Gesicht. Humanressourcen sind zum Benutzen da, nicht zum Streicheln.
« L’iran n’a pas déchiré la charte des Nations Unies. L’iran n’a pas insulté les dirigeants de cette organisation. L’Iran n’a pas de mandat d’arrêt pour génocide. L'Iran n'a pas attaqué Israël, c Israël qui a attaqué l'Iran.» L’ambassadeur d’Iran en France
Vous voulez savoir c'est quoi "la communauté internationale" ? Je vais vous le dire. C'est : les USA, le Sionistan, l'Union européenne, le Royaume-Uni et le Canada. Ceux qui ont cru que la Papouasie-Nouvelle Guinée ou les îles Fidji en faisaient partie peuvent aller se brosser.
