Non-aligned movement are composed by States. Their is a lot of proletarian or people movement which are (by definition) not States. Of course their seems to be a minority, as well as western countries seems to be democratic. Such impression are made by the same system (the bourgeoisie) and are disproved when we do some research.

I’m referring to the idea that “Supporting the opposition of the main imperialist, in order to weaken the all system”, a position often simplified as “campist”. I’m not saying it was shaky, however as all the other political theories, the working class shall observe how it worked.

Their is a lot of academic and communist (mostly maoist and titoist, but not only) research to disprove this (see below), but what the point ? You may answer that this imperialist and bourgeois propaganda (which is partly true), and I will your sources are just others bourgeoisie propaganda.

So I would suggest to rely on self-organized working classes. Are they supported or not by the organization, states or union we talking about ? U.S, Nato, Russian federation, Europe, Ukraine, Israel, People’s Republic of China, all this state crush unions or collective that ask too much or are too independent. And what we see is that supporting those state or organization weaken the expression of a self-aware proletariat and enforce the tools of its repression. Even States at war have no issue to copy each other to do so. It seems that spreading armed and state conflicts just make the Military–industrial complex to grow, and strike population everywhere (but not with the same violence). The Military–industrial complex is not unique to the US; it’s something important in some European countries, others NATO State (i.e Turquey), or the USSR (at least in its last decade).

We don’t have to be dogmatic to be radical you know. Their is other way to oppose to capitalism and imperialism than to blindly believe in 50 years old theory that have be disproved since

Is more an injonction than a meme ; it implies that we should “go to gym” to oppose to fascists. So it suppose that strong and athletics body are more valid for antifascism than the others. Gym, exercise and workout are more linked with work than with games : we try to improve our performances, making stats, having regularity and so on. According to Johan Huizinga in “Homo Ludens”, sports is the opposite of game, and is how the modern era twist games to match desires of productive bodies.

I’m not saying that sports, gym, workout, box, running are bad; if people enjoy it, it’s enough. However I think the the injonction is counter-productive. For every situation we may wish to have a shaped body they is a collective answer that more people participate : so it’s more inclusive and create more social link

This is an individualist approach, a productivist one and a validist one. I see you point : people shall prepare But the next question is : to do what ?

If you want to prepare to run: run if you want to prepare to climb : climb if you want to prepare to fight : fight

This not an RPG, muscles could act counter-productively (it’s weight more, and need more calories).

But most importantly, prepare to do it collectively. Some of us have the health and condition to prepare to do some of this, and may need to be recall that they have a responsibility to do so, because some of us don’t. Futhermore in most situations it’s better to be 3 people not well prepared than one fit. So take care of you community and make it grow

In france is not lobbying, is “asking an exception to the prefecture” … exception to the application of the law, and you have to pay for that. So only wealthy people and big firm could ask for it.

Minorities oppression, and colonialism was a thing in USSR; some tsarists institutions were kept, and the nationalism of Stalin did not help. Sure it do not lead to war, but this this is not the point you wish to make.

Though, they is some devastation due to the post-USSR liberalization that is largely underestimate

Did I say CIA, Mossad or other imperialist state were not involve ?

I pointed out that you couldn’t pretend defending the working in class when denying its agency. The movement “jin, jîyan, azadî” started way before the US and Israel operations (2022); kurdish people are organizing for their freedom even before the 1st war of Irak, and one of the few example of real socialism (democratic confederalism).

Yep, the imperialist state try to use those movement; the responsibility of the revolutionary movement inside those imperialist state is to fight the imperialism of their own state, not saping the revolutionary movement in other state

• Marx : “the freedom of the workers will be accomplish by the workers themselves”
• Workers fighting for freedom
• Marxist : “It’s CIA !”

Ecological, social, economic issues and the answer is on the legal site. FOSS as usual I guess

and that’s why sex workers made their unions too

All work is done through coercition Some coercition are worst than other, but the all the worst one are not only in sex works. Fighting for emancipation is done by the workers themselves, not aqainst them

Always have been Like, really. Anti-war mouvement are massives during conscription. People are protecting their own interests, and is a good think to build grass root mobilization (or organization)

I never why we suppose to feel bad about our state in order to oppose to it. Shame do not lead to long term action; feeling bat about a state we do not run imply identify to it. This is an issue, we have to distinguish ourselves (as a collective) from the state.

Another bloody imperialist state

No you’re not paranoid. However, the point of surveillance is not to repress, but to make us afraid to act (panopticon and stuff). Not everything could be done through organization; but not system shift could be done without. A strong solidarity network is something that could people to act by other mean, help them to get inform on industries by people being exploited by those industries. And of course building international solidarity.

Depending of your country or your affinities, you could even join an union under a pseudonyme
