So irl, I guess the factory I work at is shipping basically half the plant to India for cheap labor. Even if they didn't explicitly state that, they cited unsustainably high production costs as their reason, so... yeah. Why else. I know that no company in America is innocent of benefiting from colonialism, but I guess I'm just not used to seeing it in this way, and I'm somewhat ashamed and to be working somewhere now that will benefit so directly from it. I have friends that have already lost jobs in exactly the same way in mere anticipation of the trans Pacific partnership passing. I know this isn't really anything particularly noteworthy, but I had to shortly rant somewhere.

But it is noteworthy! If Marx and Lenin would be living today, this would be the kind of problem they would fight against.

Was Lee Harvey Oswald a Marxist?

A Labour Party MP called Jo Cox, a fairly prominent anti-racist and pro-refugee campaigner, was shot dead in the streets in a town in Yorkshire (UK) earlier today by a man allegedly shouting "Britain First" (The name of a Far Right Christian Fascist Party in the UK). She was announced dead at the scene by a doctor at 1:48PM (GMT). It would seem the fascists no longer settle for attempting to (and sometimes succeeding) in murdering minorities, Anarchists, and (more often than anarchists) Communists in the streets, and are now willing to settle for the Labour Party!

Beware the scourge of fascism, and combat it wherever it arises. No Parasan!

My dad used to work at a company that was exporting tons of its jobs to China and India as it was cheaper to print books there. He moved to a new job that he loves way more just a year ago, and it turns out the building he worked in had to be shut down because it couldn't produce a profit. In a world like this, sometimes we have to plug our noses and go against what we believe in to be able to eat. It's awful, but we don't have a choice.

Well that's discerning, I hope there won't be any need for the 5th of November any time soon for Britain.

Also, just a question, how do we deal with "alliances"? I randomly lurk the Forum with my puppet nation and found this:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=381098

I genuinely intrigued, since I never really touch the forum more than Forum 7 and P2TM.

Damn, cutting welfare didn't go as I expected as taxes dropped so little but welfare gaps increased ever so large. One of these days, I'm gonna reach no income tax and have equality.

You should go to your settings page (in the menu at the top of the page) and check whether you have (accidentally) changed the frequency with which the issues come up.

I for one am glad thet Leave won. The EU is an imperialist construct; but so is the UK itself, so now is the time for even more emphasis on disintegrating it.

Down with the EU!
Down with British Monarchy!
Freedom for Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and England itself!

Vive le liberte! Now we just have to wait for the far-right to further worse the situation by making both Netherland and France quit the EU

As the EU is an imperialist united front of reaction, with every nation that leaves is one nation towards weakening it's influence worldwide, especially wealthier ones like the UK. At the same time this means a weakened bourgeois in those individual countries that will be easier to overthrow without the support of others.

I've heard arguments that it will give way now to allowing the UK to dismantle social programs and such, but it's not like they and other EU states aren't already.

It's short term effect, Far-right will have their hayday to blame this on the brown people, poor people, and anyone else but them. But soon the economy and 99% will have their own say once they realized they done goofed.

I also hear that David Cameron resigned!? Amazing.

The far right already is on the rise everywhere, precisely because of the EU's reactionary character. And as you said, "soon the economy and 99% will have their own say once they realized they done goofed" - this will end the far-rights hayday, which is the actual short term effect.
The imperialist EU is weakened by this, and will further be weakened by France, the Netherlands and maybe again Greece to soon leave the EU.
The imperialist UK is also weakened by this, and will further be weakened by Ireland, Scotland and maybe Wales to soon leave the UK (Sinn Fein and the SNP have already started massive new campaigns towards tha, and since both Northern Ireland and Scotland voted Remain, they have a very realistic chance to get rid of British rule.)

Also, let's don't forget what Lenin said about this:
"From the standpoint of the economic conditions of imperialism [...] a United States of Europe, under capitalism, is either impossible or reactionary."
(Lenin: On the Slogan for a United States of Europe, published in Sotsial-Demokrat No. 44, August 23, 1915.)

British Comrade here. I backed the Leave vote, as did most UK Communist Parties. The EU is a reactionary and Neo-Liberal body, as many have stated. We have taken a step towards breaking said block. However it is a frightening time, as of the moment I am apprehensive, but cautiously optimistic for the future. We are hoping for something other than a different Conservative to replace "Dodgy Dave". I am of the opinion that the UKIP (Fair far right, basically single issue anti-EU) will loose most of their vote soon. The issue of Scotland and Ireland has also been bought up over here: The SNP has confirmed they are writing legislation for a Second Independence Referendum. The First Minister for Northern Ireland has suggested a referendum take place in order to join Ireland. The PM has quit, Ireland may reunite, and the EU may fall apart. This is definitely a momentous day. However the rest of the left is very much angry, going on Facebook with such moaning is almost unbearable.

Remember the time Greece voted against austerity measures yet the EU forced them on them anyways? Remember how the EU's leaders aren't elected? You take away one brick, the whole buildings falls apart.

What a wrench in the works this whole thing has become. Interesting times.

Radical leftists should be taking advantage of the spirit of this year...
