We had the Six Day War in 1967, we had the Nineteen Day War (Yom Kippur) in 1973, and now we've had the Twelve Day War. I wonder how many more very short wars will plague the region until Palestine is freed?

However, moving on from Western Asia from a little while, we have some interesting news from Chile - the former labor minister and communist, Jeannette Jara, has won the primary election for the left-wing bloc in a landslide (~60% of the vote), as the current President, Gabriel Boric, is term-limited. Her achievements include a minimum wage increase and a reduction of the work week to 40 hours.

In November, Jara will face down the contenders from other parties, including José Antonio Kast, who is analogous to Brazil's Bolsonaro. Unfortunately, Jara is now the lead figure of a party that has been taking quite a few Ls under Boric's leadership. Ostensibly a Democratic Socialist, he ruled as - you guessed it - a neoliberal, bending the knee to the US and EU. He not only failed to overthrow the Pinochet-era constitution, he actually allowed the right-wing to turn the proposed new constitution into something worse, and had to settle for campaigning against the new one and keeping the old one. And he had very little solidarity with other left-leaning leaders on the continent, like Maduro, Lula, Petro, or Castillo.

With this in mind, I cannot help but look at Argentina's very recent history and feel a little dread - but if anybody can save Chile at this point, it can only be a communist.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

The CPRF Congress adopted a resolution recognizing Khrushchev's report on Stalin as a mistake RBC

The issue is about recognizing as “erroneous and politically biased” the report of the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee on Stalin’s personality cult, which he delivered on February 25, 1956 at the 20th Congress of the CPSU

The Congress of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation adopted a resolution recognizing as “erroneous and politically biased” the report of the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Nikita Khrushchev on the cult of personality of Joseph Stalin at the 20th Congress of the CPSU, an RBC correspondent reports.

In 2016, the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov called the merits of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin the fact that they “assembled the entire empire, built nine thousand of the best factories, gave the best social policy, essentially created nuclear missile weapons and broke through into space.” He criticized Khrushchev for trying to debunk the “Leninist-Stalinist modernization” and thereby “committed a crime against the people.”

Vologda Oblast Governor Georgy Filimonov claimed in an interview with RBC this spring that the data on Stalin's repressions were "greatly exaggerated" by Khrushchev and that they were "an instrument for strengthening power." "We need to speak about repressions in a balanced way; it was a necessary instrument for strengthening power at that time," Filimonov believes. A monument to Stalin was unveiled on the territory of the branch of the Vologda State Museum-Reserve "Vologda Exile."

In a 2017 interview with director Oliver Stone, Vladimir Putin called the “excessive demonization of Stalin” one of the ways, one of the ways of attacking the Soviet Union and Russia. It is important that political repressions do not recur in the country’s history, he said in 2023 at a meeting of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights.

In April of this year, Putin promised to consider renaming Volgograd to Stalingrad, and in the same month he named Volgograd airport "Stalingrad".

Took them 71 years.

“erroneous and politically biased”

This is hard to disagree with, even if you hate stalin or thing he shouldn't have made the choices he did it's factual that the report was politically motivated

[–] Bolshechick@hexbear.net 41 points 6 days ago

About time! The revisionist 20th congress of the CPSU was a disaster

Better than Ukraine trying to rewrite history and erase the contribution of the USSR there.

[–] aanes_appreciator@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

Yeah and at least by culturally associating socialist history in a positive light helps to reduce the cold war baggage ALL socialist movements suffer from

Ansarallah/the Houthis in Yemen have now claimed responsibility for sinking the bulk carrier "Magic Seas", in their latest statement. Anti Ship Ballistic and Cruise missiles were used alongside unmanned surface vessels rigged with explosives, a detail that was missed in initial reports.

The Magic Seas was a Liberian flagged bulk carrier, owned by Stem Shipping, a shipping company headquartered in Athens, Greece. Stem Shipping is owned by the Bodouroglou family. Magic Seas departed from China, destination was the Suez Canal in Egypt, where it would deliver fertilizer to Egypt. The Yemeni Armed Forces statement says that Stem Shipping was in violation of the naval blockade with other ships, which is why Magic Seas was targeted.

[–] iie@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago (3 children)

any ideas why this particular ship was targeted? Fertilizer to Egypt kinda surprises me

[–] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 26 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Likely because other ships from Stem Shipping docked in Israel at some point after October 7th 2023, so this ship from the same company was targeted.

As for why now, Yemen is in the crosshairs of the US and Israel again. They want to send a signal that they can still sink commercial ships. The best way to do that is to sink a ship. This is the first action against commercial shipping since November/December 2024. Due to the success of the naval blockade, very few, if any, ships docking in Israel transit the Red Sea, and the Port of Eilat is in a state of bankruptcy.

Court said to approve mom’s request to use fallen soldier son’s sperm to have grandchild

Sharon Eisenkot permitted to use sperm of 19-year-old son Maor, Golani fighter killed in Gaza who was also nephew of ex-IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot

An Eilat court has authorized Sharon Eisenkot to use sperm retrieved from her son, IDF soldier Maor Eisenkot, who was killed in Gaza in 2023, to have a grandchild through surrogacy, according to a Channel 12 report Saturday.

The court based its ruling on testimonies showing that Maor had clearly expressed his wish to have children and had agreed to the posthumous use of his sperm, even with a woman he did not know. Sharon Eisenkot only learned of his wishes after Maor was killed in battle, through a childhood friend to whom he had confided.

Israel conducted a series of of airstrikes on Yemen. According to Al Masirah TV, airstikes took place at the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa, Saleef and the central power station Ras al-Khathib. Other Yemeni news outlets reported power outages as a result of the airstikes on the power station, and Israel stated that in addition, airstrikes were carried out against the captured ship "Galaxy Leader". All of these areas have been hit before by Israeli or US airstrikes. The Yemeni Armed Forces stated that air defence activities took place to repel the attacks, the statement was a first in this respect, to focus exclusively on air defence activities against manned aircraft. No claims were made about shooting any aircraft down, just on repelling the attacks. There are no images of the airstikes themselves or said air defence activity, all images currently spreading are old or from different conflicts. This is likely due to the war censorship media campaign instituted by Ansarallah/the Houthis in Yemen instituted during the US air campaign earlier this year, and due to the airstrikes taking place late at night/in the early hours of the morning, with little forewarning provided. Reports on the amount of munitions used range from 20-60. This is the most wide scale Israeli airstrike against Yemen since June last year.

The Militarized Communist Party of Peru is a political party and militant group in Peru that follows Marxism–Leninism–Maoism and participates in the communist insurgency in Peru. It is considered a terrorist organization by the government of Peru. Comrade José has been the leader of the MPCP since its official creation in 2018 after its final split from the declining Shining Path guerilla group.

The MPCP has maintained contact with Andean ultranationalist groups tied with the ethnocacerist movement. In 2018, the MPCP formed an alliance with the Plurinational Association of Tawantinsuyo Reservists, an ethnocacerist group, called the United Democratic Andean Revolutionary Front of Peru.

Diverging from other Maoist parties, the MPCP has voiced support for the modern-day Chinese Communist Party and its General Secretary Xi Jinping. The group has distanced itself from the Gonzalo Thought ideology and anti-religious stance of the Shining Path.

The MPCP regards itself as a communist and Marxist–Leninist–Maoist party, though it explicitly denounces the Gonzalo Thought ideology of the original Shining Path. In 2022, it proclaimed its allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping.

In March 2022, the MPCP publicly announced their embrace of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), writing that "the militarized Peruvian communists [have] reorganized ourselves as militants of the glorious and victorious Chinese Communist Party, under the leadership of CCP general secretary Xi Jinping."

In an audio message recorded by high-ranking party member Comrade Vilma, Vilma called on the party's militants to support China against "the United States and its NATO allies through the unjust fifth super-imperialist world war" and stated that Xi and the CCP had "never abandoned Maoism."

Peru has some really strange left-wing movements. Recently, the Ethnocacerist (Left-wing Inca Ultranationalists) were winning all the electoral polls until the Supreme Court banned them. And of course White USians want to use the Ethnocacerist movement as proof that Reverse Racism/Anti-White Racism exists, ignoring the origin and the reason why such a movement exists in Peru.

The America Party is a proposed political party in the United States. It was first proposed on June 5, 2025, and announced by Elon Musk on July 5, following his feud with U.S. president Donald Trump.

Musk has stated that the America Party is focused on deficit reduction and has advocated for the party to be fiscally conservative. The New York Times's Nate Cohn stated that the party's ideology "may be recognizable by the labels its critics on both the left and right have already assigned", referring to neoliberalism and globalism, respectively. According to Cohn, it also supports deregulation, free trade, and immigration of "high-skilled" workers.

No one is going to vote for Elon Musk's party, this party literally appeals to no one but some techbros.
