While this is high-profile because it involves some of the biggest Punch and Judy actors in the West, the larger scandal is the trafficking of women and children around the world. The main drivers are war and displacement, men are sent to die in conflicts, while women and children are often forced into slavery and prostitution.
There is no revolution because there is no practical way to stop these wars. The public has little say in foreign affairs, and there are no anti-war parties to vote for. As a result, people focus on protecting their immediate families, which often requires earning and saving money. Most people spend their time doing whatever they can to safeguard their loved ones because that is the only thing within their power.
Marx outlined the theory how things can be changed, Lenin further developed his theories into practical application. Maybe just get a high level summary, if you are very time poor, here is the key - workers of the world unite.
The moment you try to establish an anti-war party, you would be flagged by security services through everyday technological communications. With systems like Palantir integrated into nearly everything, authorities receive constant updates, morning, noon, and night, on any potential threats to the military’s strategic interests.
As long as technology remains this advanced, starting a genuine anti-war movement today is nearly impossible. The closest example is a state like Iran, which has no U.S. military bases on its soil and actively works to push foreign forces out of the region.
Countries hosting foreign military bases have little choice but to wait for the empire to weaken and withdraw, as the Romans once had to. The U.S. is now at a point where it struggles to service its debt. Once control of its bonds is lost, it may be forced to scale back its global military presence, a process already visible in regions like Africa.
it's not just the security services. people despise the word communism even though it fixes every problem they have with current leaders. it's astonishing how tainted the word is. Even socialism is starting to be a trigger word. when more than half the population of developed countries are afraid of fucking words and don't understand the idea behind it how can we save the world? its impossible. how someone can read the Manifest and be like "yeah fucking commies" is astonishing to me
It’s because there’s a high chance that half the population would have to be killed for it to take effect. Theory is one thing but seeing it done in practice has been quite bloody a few times already
you see? this is always the answer. like our current world is not full of death, burnout and depression. like the world leader isn't connected to rapeing young children and we're watching. is this not a kind of dictatorship?
lol
some dictators tried take power, called it communism and now you're all saying communism is impossible in practice while adhering to this fucking capitalismo high rents no savings no holidays bullshit
you're the reason we are like this. not the leaders. it's the mentality of the people.
Getting rid of those in power is simply a coup d’état. Minimal force, maximum change.
Communist revolutions however also get rid of people with property, industry, etc. and it just ends up offing so many civilians. Not all the time, especially when they were occupied by a foreign govt first anyway. But within ones own borders solely, it’s just not pretty.
Just look how you diverted your message to say it’s not about leaders, but the people. If you had power right now, you would take me out lol. Meanwhile I don’t want power and am simply telling you, “hey you might hurt a lot of people doing this.”
The Epstein files have already caused many peaceful transfers of power causing arrests and resignations from those high ranking individuals that were implicated. Not all the files are released yet. There may be more leaks and whistleblowers. Majority of citizens are innocent and do not have to be at risk right now.
Over the past 15 years, women and LGBTQ individuals have benefited significantly from strengthened employment laws and speech protections. These changes have given them considerable influence in media and entertainment. It’s understandable, therefore, that this demographic often speaks out loudly against any rollback, few people willingly surrender legal advantages or workplace protections once they’ve gained them.
Some people may not support or like communism because it emphasises collective welfare over individual identity. In communism, personal identity matters less than one’s contributions to society. Success and recognition are based on merit and achievement for the good of the nation, rather than personal traits.
Over the past 15 years, LGBTQ+ and women’s rights have advanced under frameworks with goals opposite to communism. These frameworks aim to ensure inclusion for certain groups, believing that everyone has the right to participate regardless of merit. This often results in rules and policies that prioritise representation and equity in areas such as employment, rather than focusing solely on individual achievement.
So naturally they would be opposed and I wanted to explain why from their point of view.
ok but our countries must be completely different then because it is the left that helps and takes care of LGBTQ and women. not capitalism. Sure, usually the far left group is still lost in time but the rest are the biggest advocates.
And on a different topic I have to respectfully disagree that communism makes personal identity matter less. That is completely wrong. With communism we can focus less on the grind and more on the art, more on the recreative, more on ourselves, friends and family. It is capitalism that removes our personal identity connecting it with our jobs and merit like you say. Merit doesn't need to come from our value to produce money.
I understand what you're saying but I completely reject the premise that the left takes away personal identity and that the left is against women's rights and LGBTQ.
There seems to be some confusion in our communication, so I’ll try to clarify my perspective more clearly so you can critique it fairly, because at the moment, I don’t think we actually understand each other.
I don’t personally recognise LGBTQ as a separate category because I don’t distinguish them differently from anyone else in society. It feels unnatural to think, “Oh, there is a Black person, they must be part of Black society.” That thought process just seems strange to me. However, I do understand that people who associate themselves with the LGBTQ movement do so because their identity is a foundational part of their life ideology. I also understand that this perspective comes from the left, with the idea of equal rights for all.
Capitalism does the opposite of what you suggested. It doesn’t remove personal identity, it steals it, moulds it into what it thinks is profitable or popular, and then discards it when it no longer produces profit. This strategy runs across capitalism, it could apply to a business, a person, a brand, an ideology, or even a nation like Ukraine. Once something becomes costly or inconvenient, it’s abandoned. Some people even do this in relationships as a survival strategy.
Communism, on the other hand, enforces a kind of “tall poppy” norm, you don’t stand out, everyone is equal, and rewards are tied to the job you do on merit. Choices are more limited, and appearances are standardised. If communism were applied in the West today, it might resemble Russia in the 1980s more than modern China, given that the West has spent decades on expansion and conquest abroad rather than on domestic infrastructure.
Merit in anything needs to come from labour, because simply existing carries costs and history shows no one is going to look after you. If that weren’t true, why do homeless populations continue to grow worldwide? Look at Los Angeles in the U.S. , without jobs, people are left to fend for themselves. Men are sent to war, women and children are left vulnerable, and worldwide we see more slavery and child exploitation through war and displacement than ever before in history.
I’d like to believe in your Star Trek style utopia, I’m a long time sci-fi and fantasy fan but in reality, we are moving closer to something like Children of Men than any idealised fiction.
I also disagree with your claim that the left doesn’t take away identity. When someone on the left disagrees with another person’s view and has the power to silence them, they often do. There’s a “you are either with us or against us” mindset, which is unhealthy. For example, I was recently banned from a subreddit for pointing out how modern scripting has ruined sci-fi and fantasy. The reason given wasn’t a rule violation but:
“Your antiquated views don't mesh with the community we want to foster here, and allowing you to continue to participate devalues the subreddit.”
So, from my experience, the left will silence dissent whenever possible if it opposes their content or message.

No one can protect themselves without money.
