From @CommunistASMR
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.
"Without Revolutionary theory, there can be no Revolutionary Movement."
— Vladimir Lenin^[What is to be Done? | Audiobook]
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
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?
The FAQ of Communism, written by the Luigi of the Marx & Engels duo. Quick to read, and easy to reference, this is the perfect start to your journey.
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
Ugh, philosophy? Really? YES!
By understanding Dialectical and Historical Materialism first, you make it easier to understand the rest of Marxism-Leninism. Don't be intimidated!
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.
Best taken as a pair, these essays simplify the most important parts of the Law of Value.
The era of Imperialism, which as the primary contradiction cascades downward into all manner of related secondary contradictions.
Section IV: Revolutionary and Scientific Socialism
Can we defeat Capitalism at the ballot box? What about just defeating fascism? What about the role of the state?
If Marxists believed reforming Capitalist society was possible, we would be the first in line for it. Sadly, it isn't.
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.
Breaks down misogyny, and queerphobia, as well as how to move beyond the base subject of "gender" from a Historical Materialist perspective.
When different social groups fight for liberation together along intersectional lines, they are emboldened and empowered ever-further.
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.

#IsraelIranWar Day 6
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.
The most moral army!!!!!
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.
#IsraelIranWar #WestBank #Palestine
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.

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.

"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

LEÇONS IRANIENNES POUR LA #RUSSIE.
Elena Panina sur Telegram : /s/EvPanina/16728 & /s/EvPanina/16729
[...L'une des principales leçons que la Russie doit tirer de l'attaque israélienne contre l' #Iran est que l'impréparation à une agression étrangère et une mauvaise qualité de gestion conduisent à des conséquences catastrophiques. La gestion est un facteur clé dans toute question, et dans la défense d'un pays, elle est particulièrement cruciale. Le meilleur indicateur ici est la rapidité de réaction face aux défis. Bien que Téhéran ait réussi à se ressaisir en organisant des contre-attaques, celles-ci n'ont eu lieu qu'après 12 heures, ce qui témoigne d'un niveau de réactivité inacceptable face au défi israélien.
▪️ Une autre leçon significative est l'application par #Israël, dans toute son ampleur, du concept de frappe décapitante. Bien sûr, la stratégie de décapitation de l'adversaire n'est pas nouvelle et est utilisée depuis l'Antiquité. Les #États-Unis l'ont régulièrement appliquée ces dernières décennies, et Israël, en fidèle disciple, ne fait pas exception. Cependant, jusqu'à récemment, Tel-Aviv se limitait principalement à l'élimination ciblée de leaders ennemis, comme le chef du bureau politique du #Hamas, Ismail #Haniyeh, ou le secrétaire général du #Hezbollah, Hassan #Nasrallah. Lors de l'attaque contre l'Iran, les Israéliens ont tenté de détruire l'ensemble du haut commandement militaire et administratif, ce qui constitue une nouvelle approche dans la guerre. Téhéran a perdu des dizaines de figures clés. Cette frappe contre le système de commandement militaire iranien visait à obtenir un blitzkrieg en désorganisant la résistance à l'agression.
Il est important de noter que le concept de frappe décapitante a été élaboré par la #RAND Corporation américaine et proposé à la Maison Blanche dès le début des années 2000. Dans un rapport daté du 28 juillet 2022, consacré aux perspectives d'escalade du conflit entre la Russie et l' #OTAN en #Ukraine, ce concept a été adapté à la situation et concernait directement une frappe contre les dirigeants russes. Ainsi, la décapitation partielle de l'Iran le 13 juin est un marqueur d'une guerre d'un nouveau type. En substance, l'Occident, via Israël, a testé cette technologie à l'échelle d'un grand pays. La technologie a été jugée réussie et pourrait être étendue à des superpuissances hostiles, comme la #Russie et la #Chine.
▪️ Pourquoi cette technologie, appliquée par Israël, fonctionne-t-elle depuis cinq jours consécutifs ? Principalement en raison de l'existence d'un réseau d' #espionnage et de #sabotage bien développé en Iran — une autre leçon pour la Russie. Selon certaines informations, 90 % des frappes sur le territoire iranien le 15 juin ont été menées par des «éléments internes». Une attention particulière doit être portée à la similitude frappante entre la tactique des attaques de #drones kamikazes du régime de Kiev sur les aérodromes de l'aviation stratégique russe le 1er juin et celle des attaques israéliennes contre les systèmes de défense antiaérienne, les lanceurs de missiles et le personnel iranien le 13 juin.La leçon iranienne suivante : la mise en œuvre de la frappe décapitante en Iran s'est appuyée sur une nouvelle base technologique — l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle, des technologies d'analyse de données et de renseignement géospatial. Ces mêmes technologies qui, en temps de paix, se parent de l'apparence d'outils inoffensifs, prétendument destinés à faciliter la vie dans les mégalopoles. Il est devenu évident pour beaucoup que la «Big Data» occidentale sert directement le Pentagone, notamment lorsque #Starlink d'Elon #Musk est devenu le principal fournisseur d'Internet pour les forces armées ukrainiennes. La même chose s'est produite le 13 juin dans le ciel iranien.
Un exemple encore plus révélateur est l'engagement sous serment militaire, en tant que lieutenants-colonels de la réserve de l'armée américaine, des dirigeants de quatre grandes entreprises technologiques de la Silicon Valley : #Palantir, #Meta (interdit en Russie), #OpenAI et #ThinkingMachinesLab. Cela a été annoncé précisément le 13 juin. Il n'est pas non plus anodin que lors de la réunion annuelle du #Bilderberg, du 12 au 15 juin, une forte présence des principales entreprises numériques et de l'industrie de défense occidentale ait été observée.
Une autre leçon cruciale, non seulement pour la Russie mais pour le monde entier, concerne l'utilisation à plusieurs niveaux du processus de négociation comme #couverture pour préparer une agression et assurer l'effet de surprise. The Financial Times rapporte explicitement que l'administration #Trump a délibérément créé une illusion de sécurité à Téhéran. Washington «savait que cela allait se produire et a contribué à maintenir la fiction qu'une rencontre aurait lieu le dimanche» entre le ministre iranien des Affaires étrangères, Abbas Araghchi, et l'envoyé de Trump, Steve Witkoff, selon Aaron David Miller, ancien représentant du Département d'État américain pour les négociations au Moyen-Orient, aujourd'hui employé par la Fondation Carnegie pour la paix internationale. Il conclut ainsi : «[Les États-Unis] ont collaboré avec les Israéliens dans cette ruse, et elle a clairement fonctionné.»
Et, une fois encore, une coïncidence frappante : l'attaque du régime de Kiev contre les infrastructures de transport russes et son aviation stratégique a eu lieu le 1er juin, tandis qu'un nouveau cycle de négociations à Istanbul était prévu pour le 3 juin — soit un écart de deux jours, comme dans le cas iranien. Et, encore une fois, les États-Unis sont à l'origine du processus de négociation et jouent le rôle de médiateur. N'est-ce pas un peu trop de coïncidences ?▪️ À quoi la Russie doit-elle se préparer à la lumière de ces leçons iraniennes ?
Il est fort probable qu'une attaque combinée des forces proxy de l' #OTAN, incarnées par l' #Ukraine, vise le système de gestion militaire et étatique de la Russie, synchronisée avec une attaque contre ses moyens de dissuasion nucléaire. Face à une telle menace, compter uniquement sur une victoire progressive et calme en Ukraine grâce à une guerre d'usure équivaut à signer son propre arrêt de mort. Notre adversaire global ne patientera pas jusqu'à la chute de l'Ukraine, mais saisira la première occasion de frapper tant que le régime de Kiev conserve un potentiel militaire suffisant.Un point crucial supplémentaire : si une telle frappe s'avère efficace, la Russie n'aura pas ses 12 heures, comme l'Iran, car elle sera immédiatement suivie d'une attaque massive de tous les moyens de frappe de l'OTAN. D'autant plus que l'intégration des forces armées ukrainiennes aux forces armées combinées de l'OTAN en Europe s'intensifie chaque jour. Si les résultats de l'attaque semblent insuffisants, un «appel apaisant» sera adressé à Moscou avec une proposition de maintenir le dialogue. Ensuite, une pause. Une préparation. Et une nouvelle frappe au moment opportun.
▪️ Dans ce contexte, la préparation de la Russie à une attaque ennemie doit reposer sur sa doctrine #nucléaire — les «Fondements de la politique d'État de la Fédération de Russie en matière de dissuasion nucléaire», approuvés en novembre 2024. Le point 16, notamment, concerne «l'adaptabilité de la dissuasion nucléaire aux dangers et menaces militaires». Cette adaptabilité implique une amélioration drastique du travail de renseignement et de contre-renseignement, le perfectionnement des systèmes de gestion étatique et militaire, ainsi que la création d'une réserve de personnel au moins quatre fois supérieure dans tous les domaines, parmi bien d'autres mesures.
Il faut comprendre que l'attaque du 1er juin sur les aérodromes de l'aviation stratégique russe était un test de la doctrine nucléaire actualisée de la Russie par l'OTAN. Dès novembre 2024, nous avions averti que l'Occident tenterait inévitablement de sonder Moscou. C'est exactement ce qui s'est produit. Sous l'influence du processus de négociation avec les États-Unis, la Russie, en ne répondant pas, s'est écartée des algorithmes de sa doctrine nucléaire. L'expérience de l'Iran, qui, en misant sur les négociations, n'a jamais riposté sérieusement à l'agresseur, démontre clairement l'inefficacité d'une telle position.
La principale conclusion pour la Russie est de ne pas attendre que des missiles ennemis s'abattent sur sa tête, mais de priver préventivement l'adversaire de ses capacités techniques à porter un coup...]
"Réussie" ? la frappe décapitant de l'Iran ?
même les Israéliens n'y croient pas...
et plus le temps passe plus on voit que l'Iran domine "encore" le terrain (enfin la frappe à distance), et plus le temps passera, plus les opérations Terroristes d'Israel seront difficiles à continuer. Il faut des années pour les préparer et il faut le faire dans le plus grand secret... deux éléments qui manquent désormais
(et si ces frappes n'étaient plus utilisées dans l'art de la guerre, c'est qu'elles peuvent être pratiquées par toutes les parties (si elles ont suffisamment peu de moralité et d'honneur)

As Ukrainian and Russian negotiating teams met in Istanbul for their brief token negotiations, which were predictably non-productive, the two parties continued to exchange strikes in the usual ratios, and the Russian Army ground forward along the line of contact. Wilhelm Solf’s olive branch was never seriously in play, but the pistol remains operational. Blood is up in Ukraine, and it will continue to soak the ground.

Starting a new, one-week, #velotrain2025 trip this morning. This time, the goal is to honour speaking invitations in Perpignan and Nantes ... and do some cycling on the Atlantic coast in between. I will stay in France.
The beautiful day starts with the first TER being cancelled, so I already have to adjust and get onto a reservation-only TER later on (without reservation). But so far, everything looks good.
Planning to report in a simple 🧵 once again here.
1/n
But wait: it was only this morning that I was on the west coast, enjoying the Loire valley's morning mist, only a few hours ago I had lunch with representatives of four generations in our family, and here I am rolling up the Drôme valley under the "Trois Becs" - I shall not allow the incompetent regional administrators and their friends in the auto-lobby spoil any of that.
50/n
The conclusions from this seond #velotrain2025 trip this year are similar to the first: It is possible, requires some extra planning and also some patience and resilience. I will continue make such trips because I prefer having my own bicycle in such places, rather than having to rent one and go in circles.
SNCF clearly works on the issue of transporting bicycles, but much can and needs to be improved. The idea that different regional authorities should play a role in this matter seems absurd to me, given that those I know best (AURA and SUD) are clearly just hostile to rail travel and intermodality. This seems to be an area where top-down policies, along with the necessary funding, have higher potential.
Thanks for following (there will be a third trip in just over a week from now) !

We need to do everything we can do to stop this genocide.
In Ireland, this means:
🚨Stop Central Bank authorisation of Israeli 'War Bonds'
🚨Stop overflights carrying weapons to commit genocide
🚨Enact the full Occupied Territories Bill (goods and services) & sanction Israel

[...Le chancelier allemand #Merz à propos du conflit au Proche-Orient : «C’est un sale boulot que fait #Israël pour nous tous.»
C’est la phrase la plus terrifiante que j’aie jamais non seulement entendue, mais même pu imaginer.
Ces mots sont prononcés par un descendant de #nazis, dont le grand-père, Josef Paul Sovignie, alors maire de Brilon sous le Troisième Reich, donnait aux rues les noms de #Hitler et #Goebbels, était membre du parti nazi (NSDAP) et faisait partie de la réserve des sections d’assaut, tandis que son père, Joachim Merz, combattait dans la Wehrmacht contre l’Armée rouge. Cette même Armée rouge qui a sauvé le monde de la peste brune et libéré les prisonniers des camps de concentration de ce qui sera plus tard appelé l’Holocauste.
La #Russie d’aujourd’hui poursuit le travail entamé en son temps par les antifascistes. Quant à la direction actuelle d’Israël… reportez-vous à la première phrase...]

"Today, Gaza is scarier than ever, as Abu Toha wrote, because a new phase of the extermination of Palestinian life has begun. On March 18, the Israeli government unilaterally broke the cease-fire and dropped so many bombs that it killed 436 people in one night, including 183 children and 94 women, according to the Gaza health ministry. Israel imposed a complete siege for 77 days, preventing all food, fuel, and medical aid from getting in — the longest of Israel’s many acts of deprivation — which meant “not a grain of wheat, not a drop of water, no medical supplies, no vaccines for children,” Juliette Touma, the director of communications at UNRWA, told me. The Israelis cut the electricity, disabling life-sustaining medical machines and desalinization plants in an area that has sandy, undrinkable water. Almost all the farmland has been destroyed, as have the local fishing industry, the sewage system, nearly all the schools, and more than 90 percent of the housing, so that people must live in tents or on hospital floors or in collapsed buildings. All 2.2 million people in Gaza, trapped and unable to flee, are at risk of manmade famine. “As aid has dried up, the floodgates of horror have reopened,” U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said. “Gaza is a killing field — and civilians are in an endless death loop.”
In May, Netanyahu launched an operation he named “Gideon’s Chariot,” sending in ground troops again. He also said he would end the siege but take over aid distribution through the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,” which turned out to be run by ex–American military contractors. It replaced the U.N.’s 400 food-distribution sites with four. When the malnourished people rushed to the sites with buckets and pots, the Israelis opened fire, killing 27 on one day and 31 on another, according to health officials in Gaza. (Israel has admitted only to firing warning shots.)"

ultimately, a generation or so later, controversialists and political figures (rarely historians) began to push for a sort of moral equivalence between the Nazis and the Western Allies. This was partly a back-projection of the opposition to Vietnam, partly the adolescent desire to shock, which some people retain into middle age, and partly the pursuit of contrarianism for its own sake. (Is there anything more tedious than the unselfconscious reflex contrarian?) So “snigger snigger OK Auschwitz but what about Dresden nyaah! nyaah! ” is unfortunately heard in some quarters. (Ironically, in view of the film I mentioned, part of the motivation is Oedipal: we cannot hope to emulate our ancestors so we try to drag them down to our level.)

Principles (pt.1)
NATO is a war machine built on colonial violence, empire, exploitation, and endless profit. We oppose its existance at the root. We are anti-zionist and anti-imperialist.
Our struggle is inherently tied to the fight against racism, misogyny, trans- and homophobia, abelism and other forms of systemic violence. We commit to fight these systems of oppression, both on the institutional level, and as they arise within our communities.
Principles (pt. 2)
We are not affiliated with any political party or NGO.
We recognize a diversity of tactics and support all efforts to disrupt the war machine. We do not snitch or police one another.
We encourage people to be self-organized and take initiative without needing centralized organization. We will provide infrastructural support to autonomous initiatives and actions throughout the camp.

in reply to ToastedRavioli • • •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.
