Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link.

Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

“There are two classes”
A tall young man with a supercilious expression, dressed in the uniform of a student, was leading the attack.
“You realise, I presume,” he said insolently, “that by taking up arms against your brothers you are making yourselves the tools of murderers and traitors?”
“Now brother,” answered the soldier earnestly, “you don’t understand. There are two classes, don’t you see, the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. We——”
“Oh, I know that silly talk!” broke in the student rudely. “A bunch of ignorant peasants like you hear somebody bawling a few catch-words. You don’t understand what they mean. You just echo them like a lot of parrots.” The crowd laughed. “I’m a Marxian student. And I tell you that this isn’t Socialism you are fighting for. It’s just plain pro-German anarchy!”
“Oh, yes, I know,” answered the soldier, with sweat dripping from his brow. “You are an educated man, that is easy to see, and I am only a simple man. But it seems to me——”
“I suppose,” interrupted the other contemptuously, “that you believe Lenin is a real friend of the proletariat?”
“Yes, I do,” answered the soldier, suffering.
“Well, my friend, do you know that Lenin was sent through Germany in a closed car? Do you know that Lenin took money from the Germans?”
“Well, I don’t know much about that,” answered the soldier stubbornly, “but it seems to me that what he says is what I want to hear, and all the simple men like me. Now there are two classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat——”
“You are a fool! Why, my friend, I spent two years in Schlüsselburg for revolutionary activity, when you were still shooting down revolutionists and singing ‘God Save the Tsar!’ My name is Vasili Georgevitch Panyin. Didn’t you ever hear of me?”
“I’m sorry to say I never did,” answered the soldier with humility. “But then, I am not an educated man. You are probably a great hero.”
“I am,” said the student with conviction. “And I am opposed to the Bolsheviki, who are destroying our Russia, our free Revolution. Now how do you account for that?”
The soldier scratched his head. “I can’t account for it at all,” he said, grimacing with the pain of his intellectual processes. “To me it seems perfectly simple—but then, I’m not well educated. It seems like there are only two classes, the proletariat and the bourgeoisie———”
“There you go again with your silly formula!” cried the student.
“——only two classes,” went on the soldier, doggedly. “And whoever isn’t on one side is on the other…”
What is this from?
It looks like it's from Ten Days that Shook the World

Very nervous about this. I don't trust Canada to not do some "set an example" type shit. You can get away with almost anything until you start talking shit about your employer violating your rights.
Ontario, California.
It's not in Canada. It happened in Ontario, California
Has the right spirit, but I’m sure the company that owns the warehouse has insurance and will just cash out
Even if the insurance covers all of it the premiums are sure as shit going way up and also the company was dealt a huge infrastructural blow that will take months if not years to rebuild.
And meanwhile the workers who were already struggling are out of a job.
That's the fault of the company that made the conditions for such an act possible.
Well actually getting a huge insurance payout isn't guaranteed as they're gonna fight it tooth and nail, and also fuck the insurance company too.
And even if they get the payout there's no way it recoups the total lost revenue from harder to measure costs that come from such a large disruption.
And then of course insurance premiums go up...
Yeah I take it back, looks like they absolutely fucked shit up
Don’t intend to dogpile I just must share this information to the people
Ontario is warehouseland. Without warehouses, there is nothing. It is the central logistics point for the entire West coast and Southwest. Ships come into Long Beach, goods go into these warehouses, and get in trucks to go across America. It is by the port (relatively) but land is cheaper than in LA.
This warehouse was probably the only supplier of those Kimberly Clark products for this entire side of the country. I used to work that account.
Fuck insurance that’s not even an afterthought right now. The losses from stretched supply chains and customers moving to competitors in desperation are going to hurt for years.
Where are those containers from overseas going to get loaded? Where are those trucks going to pick up product? Where is every business in 600 miles going to get their paper towels, toilet paper, and other paper products?
Where and when are they even going to open a replacement DC?
This is an unmitigated disaster for KC.
This is an unmitigated disaster for KC.
Capital will adapt so fast it will make your head spin. Watch.
This firebug has created so much opportunity and presumably just given a liquid cash injection to a bunch of porkies. He's a job creator for real.
I wouldn't be so sure if they got an insurance policy that covers arson, they don't even have sprinklers by the look of it.
they did, the system kinda stopped working when the roof collapsed
Right, it's relentless organized campaigns of strike, blockade, sabotage etc. or credible threat of same that moves the needle towards making wage theft uninsurable
(the precinct is profits in this diagram)
Insurance companies are capitalists too
Ah yes, the "they are invulnerable because magic bullshit that does not exist" trick.
No, everything has limits, and damage on this scale will quickly reveal them.
thought 2026 would be another miserable year, but it just keeps getting better and better!
2026 also goes by like 5x faster than 2025.
yeah, I can't believe we've almost gone through a third of the year already what the fuck
Having multiple decade weeks in a year tend to do that.
Yeah turns out 2026 is a very entertaining series of decades. I was warned this could happen but I didn't believe it.
Iran kicking USA's ass, Ukraine kicking Russia's ass, MAGA disillusioned, evil fuckers are mask-off, no one trusts the institutions and elites. EU and NATO united, things are actually sort of going unexpectedly in the right direction, after the omega-morons messed up their own countries.
Original Iran dictator and leadership are also dead, too bad protests won't continue.
Recent protest overthrew a corrupt government, Orban loses voters after Vance endorses him, the whole AI thing starting to collapse, the Epstein files showing how both sides have been played.
Did I mention data centers are getting targeted? Oil instability caused an irreversible shift towards renewables, Warehouse burned by disgruntled worker, Zohran won the Nyc election.
Here we go! Team humanity's counter-offense begins!
Attempting to live up to your username I see
Ukraine is getting absolutely dogwalked and the war on Iran has only worsened their situation, idk what kind of info you're getting.
Mario Cart will be a lot better with the choice of Handgun Luigi and Peach Flambe'.
