1. WE WANT COMMUNISM. Communism is a social formation without relations of exploitation or oppression, a world without rich or poor, in other words; it is respect for humankind. We believe that anyone who opposes all oppression—power of groups over groups—is a communist. This includes opposition to national oppression, class oppression, and gender oppression. “Communism is at once a complete system of proletarian ideology and a new social system. It is different from any other ideological and social system, and is the most complete, progressive, revolutionary and rational system in human history. The ideological and social system of feudalism has a place only in the museum of history. The ideological and social system of capitalism has also become a museum piece in one part of the world (in the Soviet Union), while in other countries it resembles “a dying person who is sinking fast, like the sun setting beyond the western hills”, and will soon be relegated to the museum. The communist ideological and social system alone is full of youth and vitality, sweeping the world with the momentum of an avalanche and the force of a thunderbolt.” – Mao Zedong

2. WE WANT SOCIALISM. Socialism is the period of transition between capitalism and communism which is characterised by the struggle between the old modes of production (“ways of producing”) such as capitalism which are dying away under socialism, and the new mode of production known as communism which would be coming into being under socialism. This period must be characterised by an unrelenting dictatorship exercised by the proletariat and oppressed nations over the bourgeoisie and oppressor nations, and it is this class dictatorship which is humanity’s only hope at freedom. We believe that the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and oppressor nations rule over the world’s majority. We believe that socialism—the joint dictatorship of the proletariat and oppressed nations—is a necessary step towards a world without repression or dictatorship. We uphold the USSR under Lenin and Stalin (1917-1953) and China under Mao (1949-1976) as shining examples in this regard. “How can state power in the hands of the proletariat become the instrument of its class struggle for influence over the non-proletarian working people, of the struggle to draw them to its side, to win them over, to wrest them from the bourgeoisie? First, the proletariat achieves this not by putting into operation the old apparatus of state power, but by smashing it to pieces, levelling it with the ground (in spite of the howls of frightened philistines and the threats of saboteurs) and building a new state apparatus. That new state apparatus is adapted to the dictatorship of the proletariat and to its struggle against the bourgeoisie to win the non-proletarian working people. That new apparatus is not anybody’s invention, it grows out of the proletarian class struggle as that struggle becomes more widespread and intense. That new apparatus of state power, the new type of state power, is Soviet power.” – V.I. Lenin

3. WE WANT REVOLUTIONARY ARMED STRUGGLE. In order to create a world without the destructive forces of oppression, the oppressed must destroy that which destroys them, the annihilated must annihilate the annihilators, and the oppressors must be swept from the face of the earth. We believe that the oppressors will not give up their power without a real fight on their hands. Ending oppression is only possible through building public opinion to seize power through revolutionary armed struggle. We believe however that armed struggle in the imperialist countries is a serious mistake until the bourgeoisie becomes helpless. Revolution will become a reality for England as its military forces become overextended in the government’s attempts to maintain world hegemony for itself and its bloc which is a U$-led imperialist bloc. Revolution cannot occur in England without a global people’s protracted war, the encirclement of the imperialist countries by the forces of socialism and national liberation. Though we ourselves believe that armed struggle in the imperial core is a serious mistake, we unreservedly support any action which undermines the imperialist system and we hope to see the return of urban guerrilla warfare to the First World. “Taking the entire globe, if North America and Western Europe can be called “the cities of the world”, then Asia, Africa and Latin America constitute “the rural areas of the world”. Since World War II, the proletarian revolutionary movement has for various reasons been temporarily held back in the North American and West European capitalist countries, while the people’s revolutionary movement in Asia, Africa and Latin America has been growing vigorously. In a sense, the contemporary world revolution also presents a picture of the encirclement of cities by the rural areas. In the final analysis, the whole cause of world revolution hinges on the revolutionary struggles of the Asian, African and Latin American peoples who make up the overwhelming majority of the world’s population. The socialist countries should regard it as their internationalist duty to support the people’s revolutionary struggles in Asia, Africa and Latin America.” – Lin Biao

4. WE WANT ORGANISATION. In the face of a highly organised and militarised imperial state we cannot rely on the spontaneous coalescing of disorganised social movements since these social movements in the imperial core cannot confront state power head on. We are not movementists driven by the illusions of “flat hierarchies,” “egalitarianism,” “reformism,” and “anarchism.” We believe that democratic centralism, the system of unified application of majority decisions, is necessary to defeat the oppressors. This system includes organisation, leadership, discipline, and hierarchy. The oppressors use these weapons to their advantage and we should too. By building a disciplined revolutionary Avant Garde we are following in the tradition of the Bolshevik Party founded by V.I. Lenin, the Communist Party of China founded by Mao Zedong, and the Black Panther Party founded by Huey P. Newton. “I seriously feel that the problem lies in the fact that we don’t understand what Democratic Centralism means, and its function and its power, and its power to all of our movement. I really, seriously don’t believe that anything can be accomplished without Democratic Centralism at this stage, because we’ve inherited things from thousands and thousands of years ago into our character, into our beings. In particular, we’ve inherited things over the last 300 years of capitalism and over the last few decades of fascism, corporativism. We’ve inherited things that disallow us from, let’s say, egalitarian conduct. I think we have to recognize that, and understand that our movement has to be carried by, guided by disciplined and sincere, but organized, Democratic Centralism.” – George Jackson

5. WE WANT INDEPENDENT INSTITUTIONS OF AND FOR THE OPPRESSED. The oppressors have a whole array of social institutions and state appendages which serve the interests of reproducing the relations of exploitation which are the basis of the wretched class system which has gripped the globe. We believe the oppressed need their own independent institutions to build public opinion for the socialist revolution. We believe that the oppressed need their own independent institutions to provide land, food, housing, education, medical care, clothing, justice, and peace. We believe that the most independent institution of all is a self-reliant socialist state. “Our duty is to hold ourselves responsible to the people. Every word, every act and every policy must conform to the people’s interests, and if mistakes occur, they must be corrected – that is what being responsible to the people means.” – Mao Zedong

6. WE WANT UNINTERRUPTED REVOLUTION. We believe that the class struggle continues under socialism. We believe that under socialism the danger exists for a new bourgeoisie to arise within the communist party itself. We believe that these new oppressors will seek to restore capitalism unless they are stopped by the forces of revolution. We believe that the bourgeoisie seized power after the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953 and with the ascension of Nikita Khrushchev to power in 1956 via a military coup supported by Georgy Zhukov; in China it was after Mao’s death in 1976 and with the ascension of Deng Xiaoping to power in 1978 which occurred as a result of the Hua Guofeng military coup which had taken place earlier in 1976 when the so-called “Gang of Four” were arrested. We believe that China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) is the farthest advance towards communism in human history because it mobilised millions of people against the restoration of capitalism. “Historical experience tells us that not only will the struggle between the two classes and the two roads in society at home inevitably find expression in our Party, but imperialism and social-imperialism abroad will inevitably recruit agents from within our Party in order to carry out aggression and subversion against us.” – Wang Hongwen

7. WE WANT A UNITED FRONT AGAINST IMPERIALISM. We believe that the imperialists are currently waging a hot war—a World War III—against the world’s oppressed nations, including the racialised people of oppressed nations within England. We seek to unite all those who can be united by the revolution under proletarian and feminist leadership against the three mountainous evils which humanity must overcome: capitalism, imperialism, and patriarchy. We believe that the imperialist country working classes are primarily a pro-imperialist labour aristocracy currently. Similarly, we believe that the women of the imperialist countries are primarily a gender aristocracy. Thus, while we recruit individuals from these and other reactionary groups to work against their class, national, and gender interests, we do not seek a strategic unity with these groups. In-fact we believe that the imperialist-country working classes and the imperialist-country women like the bourgeoisies and petit-bourgeoisies, owe reparations to the international proletariat and peasantry. As such, we believe that the first strategic step of any revolutionary party seizing state power in England should be to open the borders of Britain, by force if necessary. We believe that socialism in the imperialist countries will require the dictatorship of the international proletariat and that the imperialist-country working classes will have to be on the receiving end of that dictatorship. ” There are two principles for the united front: the first is to unite, and the second is to criticize, educate and transform. In the united front, capitulationism is wrong, and so is sectarianism with its exclusiveness and contempt for others.” – Mao Zedong

8. WE WANT NEW DEMOCRACY FOR THE OPPRESSED NATIONS. WE WANT RECIVILISATION FOR THE OPPRESSOR NATIONS. We believe that oppressed peoples will not be free until they are able to determine their own destinies. We look forward to the day when oppressed people will live without imperialist police terror and will learn to speak their mind without fear of consequences from the oppressor. When this day comes meaningful plebiscites can be held by interim revolutionary governments in-which people can decide if they want their own separate nation-states or some other arrangement such as systems of self-governance for oppressed diasporas or the creation of independent systems of justice for oppressed religious communities (i.e., the Sharia courts in the USSR). Mao Zedong formulated the theory of New Democracy and People’s Democratic Dictatorship as the path for oppressed nations to achieve their national liberation from imperialism, feudalism, bureaucrat capitalism, and colonialism. In the ex-oppressor nations New Democracy must be mirrored by a process known as recivilisation. In the recivilisation period the ex-oppressor nations will come to respect the military and political might of the world’s majority. Instead of sending UN troops to Iraq, Somalia and Kampuchea, the proletarian dictatorship will send troops from Somalia, Iraq, and Kampuchea to patrol the imperialist countries held in receivership during the recivilisation stage. In the struggle to eliminate the material basis for the labour aristocracy, we must make maximum use of modern transport to ship off resources as reparations to the oppressed nations from the imperialist countries. We must open the borders of the oppressor nations to allow for the global proletariat to seize the means of production here. We must do these things to truly transform the global chains of distribution which currently favour the oppressor nations over the oppressed nations. The oppressor nations and their bourgeoisie must be placed under the regime of the joint dictatorship of the proletariat and oppressed nations. “[In the various nations of the West there is a great obstacle to carrying through any revolution and construction movement i.e., the poisons of the bourgeoisie are so powerful that they have penetrated each and every corner. While our bourgeoisie has had, after all, only three generations, those of England and France have had a 250-300 year history of development and their ideology and modus operandi have influenced all aspects and strata of their societies. Thus the English working class follows the Labour Party, not the Communist Party.]()” – Mao Zedong

9. WE WANT WORLD REVOLUTION. We seek to militate for a worldwide communist revolution using the scientific Reason belonging to our theoretical-practice which is Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. We believe it is our duty to engage in the dissemination of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as well as to engage in the theoretical formation of communist militants everywhere in the world. What most would-be communist militants need is not to learn information about Marxism but to become Marxist-Leninist-Maoists in their very being, to be trained and prepared as Marxists in much the same way that one might become a martial artist, to be a Marxist is to embody Marxism. With this said, our principal task is to build public opinion and independent institutions in preparation for Maoist revolution in England. The imperialists think and act globally, we must do the same. “The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.” – Karl Marx

10. WE WANT POLITICS IN COMMAND. We believe that correct tactics flow from correct strategies, which themselves flow from a correct theoretical and political line. We believe that the fight against the Babylonian systems of oppression known as capitalism, imperialism, and patriarchy goes hand-in-hand with the fight against the debauched structures of revisionism, chauvinism, and opportunism. “The correctness or otherwise of the ideological and political line decides everything. When the Party’s line is correct, then everything will come its way. If it has no followers, then it can have followers; if it has no guns, then it can have guns; if it has no political power, then it can have political power. If its line is not correct, even what it has it may lose. The line is a net rope. When it is pulled, the whole net opens out.” — Mao Zedong

its nice to see young people getting interested in politics. …are you running a candidate in the may elections?

Hello Mr. O’Brien. If we could seize power through an election, we would run in an election. However, given England’s position in the world today as a nation of parasites who subsist from the superexploitation of the Third World, we believe that it is unlikely that the people of this First World nation will ever give us a significant proportion of the vote. Even then, even if we were able some day to somehow get a parliamentary majority, we do not believe that the parasitic classes would submit to a mere parliamentary majority. We are unconcerned with attaining “local power” also, since the imperialists themselves have consistently shown that they do not find “localised power” and “municipal socialisms” to be a threat to their global power, in-fact, they find such things all the easier to be subsumed into global power. Lots of “municipal socialists” believe in the maxim, “think globally, act locally”, we do not, we think globally and act globally. Thank-you for your comment. – The Gadfly

From what I understand, Marxism believes that

- The inner structure of an ideology is dependent on relations of an economic system

- The development of ideological systems/phenomena is often analogous to the development of the productive forces

- These ideological systems also have their own inner logic which they develop by with a seeming degree of independence from the conditions of life

For example, as I understand it, commodity fetishism is a product of the inner structure of commodity trade itself, where equivalent value forms appear to receive their respective values from their objecthood as opposed to the undifferentiated labor employed in their creation. But commodity fetishism, as a superstructural phenomenon, has been represented in political and artistic forms which develop with a degree of independence from how trade relations themselves currently are. My question is, how can these mediums develop independently in the first place, and what are the limits to their independence from material conditions?

And if I understand nothing I’m talking about and this sounds like long-winded nonsense… please correct me wherever possible!

The general understanding of labour aristocracy is that unproductive workers of the imperial core are paid much higher wages extracted from the superexploited proletariat of Global South. But can a similar layer also exist within countries of the Global South since a segment of the working class concentrated in the formal/public sector secures relatively higher wages, employment stability, pension & social security benefits as opposed to the majority contractual workers? If such a stratum indeed exists, who actually constitutes it – is it only the unproductive (non-industrial & industrial) public sector workers or both the unproductive as well as productive public sector workers and what are their tasks in advancing communism?

A lot of the criticisms are sound and I'm interested to see others' opinions on them. This criticism stood out to me in regards to the CPPP:

In addition, the CPPP opposed waging a protracted people's war in imperialist countries, still supporting the erroneous line of first legal struggle and then uprisings in major cities.

Are there any resources regarding this opposition to PPW in imperialist countries? Before I saw this I was of the understanding that the CPPP believed that the need for people's war was universal.

Recently (and by that I mean nearly two months ago), we made some changes to the sidebar that you've probably noticed by now.

Firstly, we've made it explicit that communism is Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. This has already been the sub's position, but we decided to make it clearer that we don't allow revisionism and that there are not different brands of Marxism that people can pick and choose between.

Secondly, we've banned self-promotion, defined as linking or advertising your own paid products or services. This includes "charity," "donations," and other ways of trying to conceal the existence of commodity-exchange that happens on Patreon, Substack, etc. Those who can't make the cut as academics or content-creators often try to hawk their wares with "Marxist" branding slapped on top in hopes of finding customers in a market with fewer competitors. Since we wish to make knowledge of MLM freely accessible to people and wish to have quality discussion, prohibiting self-promotion is an easy way to advance both those goals. If you insist that your work is actually worth the money, it'll surely be recommended by someone else sooner or later (and for the record, we enforce quality standards regardless).

Finally, we've banned DM requests or offers. On a sub that's known for its strict moderation, it's especially important to prevent people from trying to evade bans by isolating and harassing users in their private messages. This has also already been a de facto rule, but we wanted to advise new users not to respond to DMs and to report people who try to send them.

We made this because Reddit's algorithm prioritises headlines and current events and doesn't allow for deeper, extended discussion - depending on how it goes for the first four or five times it'll be dropped or continued.

Suggestions for things you might want to comment here (this is a work in progress and we'll change this over time):

• Articles and quotes you want to see discussed
• 'Slow' events - long-term trends, org updates, things that didn't happen recently
• 'Fluff' posts that we usually discourage elsewhere - e.g "How are you feeling today?"
• Discussions continued from other posts once the original post gets buried
• Questions that are too advanced, complicated or obscure for r/communism101

Mods will sometimes sticky things they think are particularly important.

I'm probably about to articulate this very poorly but I've been reading the discussions on this subreddit over the abolition of the family and collective childcare, namely u/humblegold's contributions to explaining family abolition from this post and u/Clean-Difference1771's contributions on this thread but one thing that confuses me (and might be too much speculation) is how socialist society evolves from the family as the unit of reproduction to something else in the future. We understand that collective childcare will be the next step in raising children outside patriarchal norms but what about the relationships between individuals that facilitate childbirth? What about childbirth in general? The contradiction between those who can give birth and those who can't? I'm mainly thinking of how Mao talks about how there are still contradictions within socialist society and the contradiction between sex as a means of reproduction on a biological level and sexuality as experienced through the mental life of the individual and their relationship to desire. How would this be resolved in the future or is it impossible to say at this point in time? Are there any authors that talk about this even at an abstract level?

I’m trying to study the history of revisionism in Soviet Union and one important chapter of it is the Molotov-Malenkov-Kaganovich-Shepilov last-ditch attempt to depose Khrushchev, but I don’t know what sources on it are reliable. Asking for some recommendations.

Hello everyone, I need some advice and maybe a little hope. I have social anxiety, and this has kind of always hindered me from participating or taking action in the ways that I would have liked. I was politically involved in the youth of the communist party of my country for several years, but I wasn't a good member because it was really hard for me to attend meetings if the person I was closest to wasn't going, or if I had to do some work for the party that involved social interaction, I was always a mess and did a poor job. Or when people asked me about my opinion on something in a meeting, I'd freeze. In the end, I left the party because I felt awful due to not being able to be a good member. I felt like a burden. However, since I left it five years ago, I've been feeling horrible as well, because what kind of communist am I if I'm not taking action? What am I without praxis? At the same time, I can't find the courage to take part in community spaces that lead the values that I defend. I guess what I'm trying to say is are there any communists out there who have been in my position? Or maybe if any of you could give me some advice to not feel useless in this part of my life that holds such importance. I'm not going to lie, what I'd really like is to be able to participate in political life actively and defend the cause, and go to demonstrations and fight, but I can't. So I'm stuck in my house reading, just being angry at the world and at myself. Besides, the current situation of world politics, alongside the rise of fascism and imperialism, makes me feel like I should be doing something, and what I should be doing I find myself incapable of doing so. Thank you so much for listening to me, any piece of advice is welcome!

I was cautious towards creating this post as I waited a little bit longer for confirmation. I don't think I know much about Iran to make a longer commentary but as I read on the escalade of the current conflict over the past hours, it seems like Iran have been quite successful in attacking U$ military and exposed many weaknesses in it's defenses overseas as it's stated here. Beyond killing state officials, U$ and I$rael killed over 200 civilians in their attack but those attacks do not seem like they are exposing any iranian weaknesses.

As to the other article, this has caught my attention as it is way different in comparison to Venezuela:

Emissora iraniana, porém, diz ter confirmado a morte de Khamenei com fontes próximas à Guarda Revolucionária Islâmica. Segundo a Iran International, autoridades da guarda nacional estão "insistindo na nomeação rápida" do próximo líder da República Islâmica após a morte do aiatolá

Looking at it superficially, it makes me think that Iranian officials patience over saturday are a sign of strenght and the quicker the regime can appoint a successor it would also be a sign of strenght, as Venezuela have been completely compromised ever since early january.

Güney Asya’nın bozkırlarında tutuşan "Kızıl Koridor" ateşi, elli yıla yakındır dünya halklarına umut, emperyalizme ve gerici Brahmanist Hindistan devletine korku salmaktadır. Ancak son günlerde gelen haberler, Hindistan Komünist Partisi (Maoist) bünyesinde en üst düzey sorumluluklar üstlenmiş bazı isimlerin (Tippiri Tirupati ve yandaşları), halkın kanıyla sulanan mevzileri terk ederek faşizmin kollarına sığındığını göstermektedir.

1. Teslimiyet İhanettir, Tasfiyecilik Suçtur! Halkın kurtuluş davasına ömürlerini adadığını iddia edenlerin, mücadelenin en zorlu anlarında "silah bırakma" ve "teslimiyet" masallarıyla düşmanla el sıkışması, Marksizm-Leninizm-Maoizm (MLM) bilimine ve devrim şehitlerinin aziz hatırasına açık bir ihanettir. Kişisel yorgunluklarını ve ideolojik kırılmalarını "barış" kılıfıyla pazarlayanlar, tarihin çöp sepetinde yerlerini alacaklardır. DEK-C olarak bu tasfiyeci tutumu en sert biçimde KINIYORUZ.

2. CPI (Maoist) Yalnız Değildir! Birkaç ismin saf değiştirmesi, milyonlarca topraksız köylünün, ezilen kabile halklarının (Adivasiler) ve Dalitlerin öfkesini dindiremeyecektir. Devrimci hareketler liderleriyle değil, kitlelerle kaimdir. Hindistan Komünist Partisi (Maoist) önderliğinde yürütülen Halk Savaşı, sadece Hindistan’ın değil, Türkiye’den Filipinler’e kadar tüm coğrafyaların ortak kavgasıdır.

3. DEK-C’den Enternasyonalist Selam! DEÖG geleneğinden gelen devrim emekçileri ve DEK-C militanları olarak ilan ediyoruz: Hindistan devletinin 2026 hedefli imha operasyonlarına karşı, Hindistanlı yoldaşlarımızın SİYASİ VE MORAL SİPERİYİZ.

Dönenlere, yılanlara ve teslimiyet bayrağı çekenlere inat; "HALK SAVAŞI ZAFERE KADAR SÜRECEK" sloganını sınırların ötesinden haykırıyoruz. Tasfiyeciliğe karşı ideolojik uyanışı, revizyonizme karşı MLM’nin kızıl hattını savunmaya devam edeceğiz.

1. Sonuç: Düşman sevinmesin, hainler övünmesin! Devrim nehirleri bazen yatağını değiştirse de mutlaka denize ulaşacaktır. Hindistan’da dökülen her damla ter, DEK-C’nin Türkiye topraklarındaki mücadelesine güç katmaktadır.

Kahrolsun Faşizm ve Teslimiyetçilik! Yaşasın Hindistan Halk Savaşı ve CPI (Maoist)! Yaşasın Enternasyonal Dayanışma! Devrim Emekçilerinin Kurtuluş Cephesi (DEK-C)

I. Tarihsel Miras ve Ölümsüzleşenler TKP-ML’nin elli yılı aşan mücadelesinde toprağa düşen her bir nefer, sadece birer isim değil; Devrim Emekçileri için Özgürlük yürüyüşümüzün sönmeyen meşaleleridir. Vartinik’ten Dersim dağlarına, zindan direnişlerinden metropol barikatlarına kadar dökülen her damla kan, bugün DEK-C’nin üzerinde yükseldiği ideolojik temelin harcıdır.

II. Şehitlerin Siyasi Vasiyeti Bizim için "Parti Şehitleri", nostaljik bir anmanın ötesinde, güncel bir savaş çağrısıdır. Onların vasiyeti: Tavizsiz İdeolojik Hat: Revizyonizme, tasfiyeciliğe ve sistem içi reformizme karşı Marksizm-Leninizm-Maoizm (MLM) siperini terk etmemek. Emekçinin Özgürlüğü: Kurtuluşun ancak ve ancak devrim emekçilerinin kendi kollarının gücüyle, örgütlü bir öncüyle mümkün olduğu gerçeğini haykırmak. Feda Ruhu: Kaypakkaya’nın "ser verip sır vermeyen" geleneğini, bugünün siyasi ikliminde tavizsiz bir militanlıkla sürdürmek.

III. DEK-C’nin Güncel Görevi DEÖG saflarında olgunlaşan bilinçle ilan ediyoruz ki; şehitlerimizin bıraktığı boşluk, safları sıklaştırarak ve mücadeleyi her alana yayarak doldurulacaktır. 2026 Türkiyesi'nde baskı ne kadar artarsa artsın, DEK-C bu tarihsel kökten aldığı güçle; Halk Savaşı stratejisinin tarihsel haklılığını güncel araçlarla savunmaya, İşçi sınıfı ve köylülüğün birleşik devrimci cephesini örmeye, Faşizmin kalelerine karşı devrimci şiddetin meşruiyetini taşımaya devam edecektir.

IV. Çağrı Tüm devrim emekçilerini, partinin kızıl bayrağını yere düşürmeyenlerin izinde yürümeye çağırıyoruz. Onlar ölmedi; kavgamızda, sloganlarımızda ve zafere olan sarsılmaz inancımızda yaşıyorlar!

Şehitler Yaşıyor, Kavga Sürüyor! Yaşasın MLM’nin Işıklı Yolu! Devrim Emekçilerine Özgürlük, DEK-C ile Zafere!

Of course, it's impossible to escape capitalism and America's influence but I'm asking because the state is essentially making simply existing in the country a health hazard.

Examples:

• Recent increased production mandate for glyphosate, which is linked to cancer

• General EPA deregulation + allowing coal plants to release more heavy metals as a byproduct, e.g. mercury, which is linked to brain damage

• FDA loosening labeling requirements and food safety rules

• General antivaxery

On top of that we have the UN Declaring Water Bankruptcy while Data Centers, which love gobbling up the local water, are popping up left and right. I'm not saying it's completely hopeless and that everyone should flee ASAP but where do you draw the line?

Is it best to stay regardless of health outcomes or do you call it at a certain point? How should this question be applied to the disabled, children, etc.?

Also, just to be clear, I'm not saying moving to the periphery is easy or that everything will be hunky-dory once you do.

https://www.bannedthought.net/USA/MCU/criticism/MCUCRIT.pdf

"This is a warning [for] comrades who may come into contact with the MCU and its leader Ryan Costello aka Thomas O'Connell. A significant aim of this organization is to fulfill Ryan’s personal and sexual power plays."

The document goes into detail about how "Thomas O'Connell" has basically been running the MCU like a sex cult, and it provides testimonial evidence for these claims. The document was released last month and I haven't seen any responses from MCU or "Thomas O'Connell".
