'it’s not the case that institutions have been taken over by radicals, but that radicalism has been conquered by mainstream institutions' musaalgharbi.substack.com/p/…

As soon as Polanski raised the prospect of a Labour-Green alliance it was obvious that Labour could and probably would try and weaponise this to 'discipline' the Greens.

Just a reminder that for the vast overwhelming majority of its existence, Marxism was seen as a Jewish plot. And now, it's 100% anti-semitism. Apparently.

I'm not sure we need any more evidence that the UK government serves Israel! The question is what we are going to do about it. #ResistZIM

While I see no panacea in "male dominance," - at least over women, I value male strength, safeguarding, honor, and valor. The rest of this post is solid. I spent years in feminist circles, sometimes heavily engaged, and other times removed for sheer exhaustion at the inability of so many feminists to examine their own rhetoric or analysis, or even feign interest in perspectives that were not their own. The energy spent infighting about what feminism was and wasn't, who was holding the line, and who was a better feminist, was an invitation to depletion. I read the books, made feminist arguments, utilized the analysis as one lens through which to view the world, and listened to misandrist dialogue I had never heard outside feminist circles, until the last decade, including that which targeted boys, simply for being male. Then, I started to investigate the gender industry. I followed the money. I found the rich men funding it. I looked further and found the rich women funding it. I found the mothers indoctrinating their children to gender ideology, the female foot soldiers, female politicians, and the world's most powerful women driving it. I kept going, kept examining, and what I ran into was feminism. The call was coming from inside the house.

Elon wants chip fabs on the Moon now. Lunar soil is 20% silicon, he says, so you just mine it, refine it, stamp out solar cells and chips. Next level of the video game. His words. He's a walking 1954 Popular Science cover. "Moon Factories by 1975!" You can picture him red-faced at some poor SpaceX engineer, jabbing a finger at a render: "I saw this in a magazine! Why can't you guys do this?" Because the magazine was fiction, Elon. That's why. Boring question one: water. A single leading-edge fab burns through millions of gallons of ultrapure water every day, the kind filtered and polished until it turns chemically aggressive and rips ions out of anything it touches. Making it takes an industrial plant of its own. On the Moon you'd be chipping ice out of permanently shadowed craters at minus 230 C and feeding it through a purification chain that doesn't exist, powered by energy that also doesn't exist. Boring question two: shaking. Lithography machines sit on tuned vibration isolation, springs and masses and counterweights engineered around Earth's gravity down to the millimeter. Lunar gravity is one sixth of that. Every spring rate and tuned mass in the stack assumes 1 g, and the Moon has its own moonquakes nobody has fully mapped. So forget shipping a fab up there. You'd have to redesign the entire physics package from scratch, in a hailstorm of charged abrasive dust that eats seals and bearings for breakfast. And here's the part that makes it funny instead of just dumb. NASA studied all of this while Elon was still in college. Ignatiev and Freundlich published the actual paper in 1991: waste silicon from regolith processing, vacuum-deposited thin-film cells laid right on the surface. Serious work, fifteen years of it, and by 2005 the best anyone could promise was 5-8% efficient cells sprayed on melted moon glass, economical only at megawatt scale. Chips? Never in the plan. Not once, in thirty years of study. Then a 2006 follow-up walked back even the crude version, because melted regolith is too lumpy and dirty to make a decent substrate. The 2025 research gave up on purifying lunar silicon entirely and just ships the semiconductor layer from Earth. Thirty years of papers saying "hard pass" and this guy shows up with the crayon version of a 1991 NASA study, calls it visionary, and the fanboys clap like he invented the Moon. He isn't a genius ahead of his time. He's a man who skips the reading, and it shows every single time he opens his mouth just to pump his cult stocks.

Zionists really can't stand it when they end up in a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about and their invariable response is either to start shrieking about anti-semitism or just to run away (as below).

El 25 de octubre de 1922, acababa la agresión imperialista contra la Rusia bolchevique, con la entrada del Ejército Rojo en Vladivostok, aplastando a los últimos remanentes del Ejército Blanco y las fuerzas imperialistas de 17 países capitalistas. Seguro que lo leíste en sus libros de historia occidentales, pero solo un año después de la Revolución Bolchevique, EEUU, Reino Unido, Francia, Checoslovaquia, Grecia, Rumania, Alemania, Austria-Hungría, Italia, Canadá, Turquía, Polonia, Serbia, Finlandia, Australia, China y Japón invadieron Rusia... pretendían acabar con la revolución obrera y devolver el poder a la burguesía zarista, en lo que se llamó como "Intervención Aliada" para restaurar el orden capitalista. 17 ejércitos con llegaron a tener a 1 millón de soldados invadiendo Rusia, en apoyo a la oligarquía capitalista y su ejército zarista, el cual también fue armado por todo Occidente... a esta flagrante agresión imperial de Occidente en Rusia lo llamaron "guerra civil" y murieron al menos 7 millones de rusos, hicieron todo lo posible para aplastar la revolución bolchevique que era un peligro para el capital mundial. El Ejército Blanco armado y financiado por Occidente, además empleó la brutalidad más infame, en los Urales, más de 100.000 campesinos fueron exterminados en campos de concentración por el Ejercito Blanco por el "delito" de apoyar a los bolcheviques, exterminó a 150.000 judíos en el sur de Rusia (pogromos que más tarde imitarían los nazis) e hicieron limpiezas étnicas de más de 300.000 indígenas... metían a los sospechosos de ser bolcheviques en las calderas de sus trenes blindados para que se quemaran vivos. La Rusia que quedó después de la cruenta agresión imperialista mal llamada "guerra civil", fue una de las naciones más pobres del mundo, sumida en el hambre y en las enfermedades... murieron al menos 3 millones de personas de hambruna y otras 2 millones de enfermedades como el tifus, la gripe o el cólera... en solo 40 años, esa misma Rusia devastada y con una guerra mundial por medio, seria una potencia mundial equipada con bomba atómica gracias al socialismo. No somos conscientes del sacrificio del pueblo ruso para defender su revolución, primero tuvieron que luchar contra 17 países capitalistas, más muchos otros que apoyaron indirectamente la invasión económicamente y con armamento.... pero no contentos con eso, unas décadas más tarde, Occidente le financió a Hitler para acabar con la URSS y le montaron una guerra mundial que costó la vida a 27 millones de soviéticos.... y ni así, tampoco pudieron tumbar la revolución, es el ejercicio de resistencia mayor de un pueblo que ha conocido el mundo.

“In order for our industry - or indeed any industry - to function properly and effectively, it must be controlled by those who want to see it succeed. It cannot be left to civil servants in Whitehall, or to entrepreneurs from outside. It must be in the hands of people who are committed to the principle of nationalisation and to the long-term interests of the British people. When the Tories came to power 12 years ago, they set about creating mass unemployment, and destroying effective trade unionism by anti-union laws. Any sign that trade unionism is not yet totally subservient, and this Government will rush in with new laws to plug the gap. Sooner, rather than later, the British trade union movement will have to make up its mind. It will either have to acquiesce all the restraints imposed by unjust laws - or it will have to resist as did the pioneers who built our movement over a century ago.” Arthur Scargill July, 1991.

This is true by the way. So falling fertility rates it's going to be.

In 1935, "neutral" Finland's future commander sat down with Hermann Göring at a secret conference on joint action against the USSR. Also at the table: Hungarian Prime Minister Gyula Gömbös and Tytus Komarnicki, head of the Polish parliament's foreign affairs committee (The Times, October 15, 1935). A year earlier Mannerheim had lobbied London to fortify the Åland Islands, despite Finland's 1921 pledge to keep them demilitarized. By 1939 he was personally showing German Chief of Staff Franz Halder around Finland's northern airfields and depots. Helsinki asked Britain and Germany for permission to fortify Åland, and both happily agreed. The one country it never asked was the USSR, the country most directly threatened. And since the 1920s, Finland had been quietly helping Germany rebuild its navy in open violation of Versailles. The Finnish submarine Vesikko, launched in the 1930s, was the prototype for Germany's Type II U-boats, the backbone of Hitler's early submarine fleet. Finnish submarines of this program later fought the USSR. Vesikko still sits in Helsinki as a museum ship, a monument to Finland's part in Germany's secret rearmament years before 1941.

If a Russian attack really was imminent, we would be withdrawing our forces from faraway places and concentrating them where the supposed threat is. But we aren't - in fact, we've just sent RAF planes to help the authoritarian Saudi regime fight a war in Yemen. They take us for fools. Source: Strategic Defence Review (2025).

It’s weird how normalized this is. If a bunch of random dudes with giant beards and silly hats and black clothes just showed up out of nowhere one day and started ordering us to start foreign wars, we would all flip out, like who the fuck are these guys?

'I genuinely cannot believe what I see with my own eyes when I log on to social media.' Can anyone see any problems with this method of analysis.

Not a few members of the British bourgeoisie have gone insane. I don't mean that metaphorically.

Goldknopf, the head of the ultra-Orthodox party Agudat Yisrael, explains in an interview why children don't need to study English and math, why there is no need to serve in the IDF, why Israel deserved October 7th, and why women do not belong in the Knesset. As this is the fastest-growing demographic group in Israel, this is well worth listening to. They will be running things in a fundamentalist theocracy.

Mao Zedung'a ve Çin Komünizmine karşı yürütülen propagandayı sinsice tekrar etmişsin. O yıllar arasında ölen herkes kıtlıktan öldü diye bir şey iddia edilemez. 1958-61 yıllarınds 600 milyonluk Çin'de 30 milyon ölüm yaşanmıştır. Yani buna tüm doğal ölümler de dahildir. Oranlama yapıldığında 4 yıllık süreçte bu ölüm oranı hiçbir şey ifade etmez ki hepsinin açlık nedeniyle öldüğü söylenemez bile. Büyük İleri Atılımda yaşanan hadiseler örneğin yaşanan yolsuzluklar, ürün saklama vb. durumlar Büyük Proleter Kültür Devrimi'nin nedeni olmuştur. Mao, bu deneyim sayesinde sınıfların hala mücadele ettiğini görmüştür. Stalin ise üretim araçlarının kolektif mülkiyeti artık İşçi Sınıfının partisi elinde deyip sınıf mücadelesinin nasıl işlediği konusunda pek bir deneyime sahip olamadığı için kendisinden sonra soysuz bir revizyonizmden başka bir şeyi bırakamamıştır. Mao'ya maal edilen ama sürecin başarısızlığında göz ardı edilen meselelerden biri de yerel parti kadroları arasındaki yolsuzluk, kariyerizm ve bürokratik yozlaşmaydı. Üretim rakamları siyasi başarı elde etmek amacıyla şişirildi, tahıl stokları kötüye kullanıldı, gıda dağıtımında kayırmacılık yaşandı. Gerçek üretim miktarlarının gizlenmesi, merkezi planlamanın yanlış verilere dayanmasına ve aşırı tahıl toplanmasına yol açtı. Burada mesele yalnızca bireysel yolsuzluk değil, bürokratik denetimsizliğin ve siyasi baskının ekonomik krizi derinleştirmesiydi. 1960'de Sovyet Revizyonizmi bu geri kalmış ülkeye yardım etmek yerine tüm teknisyenlerini geri çekti. Tarihinde büyük kıtlıkların olduğu büyük bir köylü ülkesinde bu işlerin organize edilememesi gayet doğaldır. Çan Kay Şek döneminde Kuzey Çin'de yaşanan yamyamlık vakaları düşünüldüğünde bir daha asla kıtlık olmasın diye yapılan atılımın sekteye uğrayabilmesi muhtemeldir. Konu sadece bir tekniğin başarısız organizasyonu değil gerçekten de bazı bölgelelerde kuraklık yaşanması ile de ilgilidir. Sadece 1959 yılında Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Heilongjiang gibi önemli tarım bölgelerinde kuraklık yaşanmıştı. Büyük İleri Atılım'ın karşılaştığı sorunların bir diğer nedeni, Çin'in yarı-feodal ve yarı-sömürge geçmişinden devraldığı son derece geri üretici güçler ile sosyalist sanayileşmenin ihtiyaçları arasındaki nesnel çelişkiydi. Mao'nun öncülüğündeki Çin Komünist Partisi, gelişmiş bir sanayi altyapısına değil, nüfusunun ezici çoğunluğunu köylülerin oluşturduğu, tarımsal üretimi doğa koşullarına bağımlı bir ülkeye dayanıyordu. Büyük İleri Atılım, bu tarihsel geri kalmışlığı kitlelerin kolektif seferberliğiyle aşmayı amaçlıyordu. Ancak devrimci irade, teknik bilgi birikiminin, maddi üretim koşullarının ve örgütsel deneyimin yerini kendiliğinden alamazdı. Devrimci bir değerlendirmede bu çelişki, sosyalist inşanın reddini değil, öznel irade ile nesnel koşullar arasındaki ilişkinin doğru kavranması gerektiğini ortaya koyar. Nitekim Mao'nun Pratik Üzerine ve Çelişki Üzerine eserlerinde geliştirdiği diyalektik materyalist yaklaşım açısından da toplumsal dönüşüm, maddi gerçekliğin somut tahlilinden bağımsız ele alınamaz. Çinli Marksist araştırmacılar Cheng Enfu ve Zhan Zhihua, 2017 ve 2018 yıllarında yayımladıkları akademik çalışmalarında, Büyük İleri Atılım dönemindeki 1959–1961 kıtlığında yaklaşık 4–5 milyon olağandışı ölüm gerçekleştiğini hesaplamış ve yaygın 30 milyon ölüm tahminine itiraz etmişlerdir. Bunların 600 milyonluk bir ülkede tam tamına Avrupa kıtası genişliğinde bir coğrafyada "Büyük Felaket" olarak takdim edilmesi tam bir Anti Komünist propagandadır. Üstelik bu insanların yaş aralıkları, tek tek neden öldükleri yazılmsmıştır bile. Hepsinin açlıktan kuruyup öldüğü mü yoksa enfeksiyon veya diğer nedenlerle mi öldükleri konuşulmamakla birlikte tüm bu üst koşulların atılımın başarısızlık nedenleri olması söylenmemektedir.

The horrific escalation of violence and racism towards Druze Arabs in Israel, continues. Three young Druze men from Isfiya, two of them serving soldiers and the third about to enlist, were sitting in a Tel Aviv club “quietly speaking Arabic among themselves” when a group of young men came over and started an argument. Within minutes it turned into a fight outside, and the one about to enlist was stabbed. Amram says he was taken to hospital with “stab wounds to his body and severe injuries”. One of the victims wrote: "To everyone justifying this attack, and to everyone spreading hate over the Arabic language, I’m asking you for one moment of soul-searching. I’m Adam, a Druze from Isfiya, 24 years old. In October 2024 I was wounded defending our homeland. The injury changed my life and kept me in hospitals and rehabilitation for long months, until I was discharged from Loewenstein Hospital in May 2025. I still pay the price of that injury every day, in body and in spirit. I’m Druze. My mother tongue is Arabic, and I’m proud of it, just as I’m proud to be Israeli. And just as I’m not afraid to stand in a foreign country and say proudly that I’m from Israel, in my own country I shouldn’t have to be afraid to open my mouth and speak my mother tongue. I want to ask you one question. When I stood up to defend this country, did my language bother anyone? Is my blood worth less because I speak Arabic? How can a person who is ready to give his life for this country be made to feel like a stranger in it, just because of the language he speaks? I’m not telling my story so you’ll pity me or thank me. I’m telling it so that maybe next time, before you write a comment full of hate, you’ll stop for a moment and think about the person behind that language. I don’t need to prove my loyalty every time I speak Arabic. I’ve already paid for it with my body, and I keep paying every day. But know this: even someone who never wore a uniform and was never wounded deserves the same basic respect. If we’re good enough to stand together on the battlefield, we’re good enough to stand together on the street. Do some soul-searching. This country isn’t built only by the people who are ready to die for it, but also by the people who know how to respect one another and live in it together. I’m proud to be Druze, proud to be Israeli, and I have no intention of apologising for either of my identities. Abroad, I don’t hide that I’m Israeli. And in Israel, I shouldn’t have to hide that I’m Druze." Serving in the IDF will not save you. If you are an Arab in Israel, you will be treated like garbage.

Harry Truman's plan for World War II: let the Nazis and the Soviets "kill as many as possible." On June 23, 1941, one day after Germany invaded the USSR, Senator Truman suggested that the United States help whichever side seemed to be losing: "If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany and that way let them kill as many as possible." The New York Times printed his words the next morning. Soviet cities were already burning. A man who would sit in the White House four years later was working out how to keep both sides dying as long as possible. The USSR lost 27 million people in that war, about 18 million of them civilians.

The creators of Israel didn’t want poor, weak victimised Jews. They didn’t want to help them. They wanted some form of muscular Ubermensch like the Nazis did. The similarities have always been there.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 China is no longer expected to overtake the United States as the world's largest economy anytime soon, marking a major shift from predictions made over the past two decades. For years, economists expected China's rapid growth to continue until its economy surpassed America's, with some forecasts predicting that would happen before 2020. But those predictions have repeatedly been pushed back. According to Oxford Economics data, China's economy reached roughly 77% of U.S. GDP in 2021 before falling back to around 67% in 2025. The latest forecast suggests China's economy will reach only about 84% of America's by 2040. The comparison uses nominal GDP, measured in U.S. dollars, meaning exchange rates also influence the figures. China's economic rise has been extraordinary, but the expectation that it would inevitably overtake the United States is looking increasingly uncertain.
