I applied to join a socialist organization several days ago and I haven't heard back yet.

The organization has a page on their website where you can apply to join them, and I submitted an application there. I’m wondering why I haven’t received a response yet, does anyone here know what might be going on?

Anybody here likes the works of the marxist writer Rosa Luxemburg? Specially her book Reform or Revolution? I've been reading her works and I think she has a point in revolution being a lot better than reformism in order to see real changes

Seeking info to follow the money trail of the zio lobby in North American publishing industry

*Disclaimer that I shouldn't ever have to make but do because the Western world lives under a propaganda narrative that is divorced from historical facts, truth and justice: I oppose zionism, the racist, genocidal state of "Israel" it produced, and I stand with the Palestinians, Lebanese and all other Arabic people in West Asia who have been brutally dehumanized, oppressed and murdered by the zionist regime and the US and West that has always used "Israel" as a proxy in West Asia. I support the end of the entire zionist occupation in Palestine (and the zionist occupation is moving forward with its plans to occupy all of Palestine and the lands of several other countries in West Asia. THAT ALL SAID, I do NOT hate Jews and consider all Jews who are not zionists to be equal to all other people in the world. "Israel" and zionism have NOTHING legitimate to do with Jews and Judaism. Therefore, I am never an antisemitic person, because my quarrel is not with Jews; it is with zionists. Many antizionists are Jews, and the majority of zionists in the world are white christian fundamentalists.

**********

I'm trying to track down the funding sources for some of the many Jewish-specific organizations and companies that exist to promote and encourage more production of Jewish-content books, especially books that are about or include sections about the Holocaust, in the North American publishing industry. I work in the industry and the publisher I work for produces a disproportionately high number of specifically "Jewish-interest" books by Jewish authors compared to books related to any other identifiable group, especially minorities. And they work the Holocaust into their nonfiction books regardless of the books main topic. I know from the inside that there are purchasers and reviewers that are strictly Jewish by name and focus which will purchase bulk quantities of these "Jewish-interest" books to distribute. It is clear to me that the publishers pursue that easy money, but I'm quite certain they also support zionism in general. And after years of privately knowing what's going on, I want to have the evidence to support my claim, that the zionist lobby is heavily involved in publishing and, more important, many publishers are cognizant of that and are happy to oblige that lobby when there is money to be made.

For starters, is there any source with a compilation of names of known zionist organizations that are directly linked to "Israel"? At least that would be a start, and then I could follow the funding trail from one of the orgs in the publishing world back to a known zionist entity. There are so many of these front orgs that aren't directly linked to the genocidal zionist colony, so people have to follow the money trail for each one.

As an example of some of the orgs I want to look into: JP Library (created by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation (and see this zionist page on the PJ Library website, with a button to it on the homepage that has the "Israeli" flag on it), the Association of Jewish Libraries, Jewish Book Awards, Jewish Book Council, Canadian Jewish Literary Awards, The Jewish Review of Books Foundation, etc.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Anticapitalist tabletop RPG

I don't see rules posted, so I hope posting this here is okay.

Billionaire Bounties is an anticapitalist tabletop RPG card game that my friend made. His art is beautiful. And playing the game is definitely cathartic. Eating the rich in reality is very difficult, but roleplaying eating the rich might help psychologically.

Here's a link to the Kickstarter campaign. Please support, or share the link on social media if you can.

Thank you!

In Marx’s idea capitalism gives job to people or not?

It might sound like a stupid question but I had a debate with a friend of mine, also a communist, who claims that capitalism gives work even if it is a poor job. I think that capitalism takes more work than it gives because of the surplus and because of the fact that you are often inclined to do a job that you do not love precisely because of the whole system. What is Marx's opinion of? And then I'd like to hear some other opinion about it too

How do socialists deal with/explain/address the wrongs comminated by the So Called "Socialist" governments of for Example the USSR *until 1953* Cambodia under Pol Pot, Vietnam from 1975 until 1980 etc. etc. (especially when talking to non-socialists/people who are unfamiliar with socialism?)

I'm still kind of new to socialist ideas and was wondering how my fellow socialists deal with/explain/address this

As a Socialist, how do you view Bilderberg Group ?

As a Socialist, how do you view Bilderberg Group ?

For a socialist, the idea that international corporations meet and coordinate their businesses, effectively having a syndicate, must be against your worldview. Yet I see very little opposition to them from the left. Is it that the subject has been tainted by some conspiracy loonies or is there something else to it ?
