  • Nationalize the large firms and key industries, end all embargoes and sanctions on other countries, redistribute land from the landlords and private firms, end all overseas millitary bases, end all wars and pull out of NATO. Begin building mass rail, solar, and nuclear by engaging with strategic partnerships with China. Land back and decolonization of Turtle Island. Building up the productive forces via central planning and strong state funding, while gradually appropriating medium firms as they grow and monopolize.

    Dismantling settler-colonialism and imperialism are the primary tasks of building socialism on Turtle Island.

    Production and distribution will be run according to a common, scientific plan. Worker’s councils will be set up, alongside youth leagues. Social programs like free healthcare and education will be established, and a reduction to the 30 hour work week in the long-run. Full-employment will be achieved via mass infrastructure projects. The country will be connected and integrated with the city, suburbs will gradually be pivoted away from in favor of mixed-use, walkable city planning.

    Full protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals and abortion protections. Religion will be purged from the state in all aspects, while being protected as an individual choice. Prison reform will be established, focusing on rehabilitation and ending the profit motive from incarceration. Police budgets will be slashed. National parks will recieve greater land and funding for protections, as will scientific advancement in medicine and more.

    This seems like a lot, but it all stems from nationalizing the large firms and key industries, as well as redistribution of land, land back, and decolonization. As imperialism decays, the economic compulsion for self-reliance grows, meaning if the working classes can establish a socialist state then we can achieve the rest gradually.


    If those ideas sound good to you, and you haven’t yet engaged with Marxist-Leninist theory, I made a basic study guide! Feel free to check it out!

















  • If you’re a genuine believer then I can understand your despair at seeing a family member cast aside what you believe to be true, dooming herself in your eyes. If I were religious, I would be a disastrous wreck if someone I cared about took that path. However, punishing her, attacking her, or telling her that she will be damned forever will never bring her back to you, it will only solidify this division. She has made her choice.

    What you can choose between is alienating her entirely, or welcoming her and respecting her decisions. If it’s the former, you will lose your sister entirely. If it’s the latter, you will retain your sister, and increase the chance she has a change of mind. Having people act cruel to her will only solidify her decisions, it is with kindness that you can change minds.

    That all being said, accept that she will likely never return to Islam, whatever you choose to do. It’s her decision either way. Even if you treat her with enormous kindness, that only takes the chances from 0% to ~5% that she will convert to Islam. You have to accept that your choice is between having her in your life and probably never converting, or to have her gone entirely.


  • Ukraine is more of a vassal than one of the bigger imperialists, it’s used similarly to how Israel is by the US Empire. It’s itself being harvested for rare Earth minerals and shackled with tons of debt while at the same time being used to attack enemies of the west. Hungary is both a NATO and EU member state, it’s firmly on the side of the imperialist system.

    Imperialism essentially is monopoly capitalism at its most developed stage, turned international. In the modern day, the US Empire is at the helm of this, with the EU and other NATO countries being used to protect this system of international extraction. By being in NATO, Hungary plays a part in defending this system, and by being in the EU, it benefits from imperialist spoils.
