BDS Boycott List (Accurate as of 7th May 2025) in c/palestine@lemmygrad.ml
[–] ProletarianLandlord@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 months ago

This list is all the companies. It's mostly American companies. There are no British companies on the list that I'm aware of.

The problem with the Boycat app is that it goes too far and lists EVERY single company (which is not a problem if you want to make sure you're not supporting genocide). However, this ends up being overwhelming for the average person. The point of the BDS movement is to have material gain through collective action via targeted boycotts. That's why the list is so small.

They've been taken off the list after they withdrew as a sponsor for the Israeli Football Association - BDS got the result they wanted. It was the same reason that Puma used to be on the list. Reebok now has the contract with the Israeli Football Association which is why they are a priority target now.

As far as I know, Starbucks has never been on the list. It was just a grassroots campaign that got a lot of attention and was never fully endorsed by BDS.

Also included on the BDS list are:

  • Reebok
  • Carrefour
  • AXA
  • Siemens
  • Sodastream
  • Teva
  • Booking.com
  • WiX

I was surprised at how difficult it was to find an up-to-date list of all the targets of the BDS Boycott. The pinned post on the official bds movement Instagram is now outdated. And searching for the list leads to outdated links and apps that don't direct you towards a clear and concise list. More companies have been added to the list. Reebok and Microsoft (which own Xbox) are now boycott targets. Please remember that the BDS boycott works due to it targeting a handful of companies. It is up to you whether you want to target those not on the list.

Let me know if I have missed a company and I will be sure to edit this post and add them to the list.

OP is clearly trolling now. Not worth giving them attention.

I don't understand what you're trying to say?

Do you think a feudal peasant had a better quality of life than the modern labour aristocratic proletariat? in c/asklemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml

Oh to be a white man born in the 1950s. Can you link me any of Hickels work? Sounds interesting.

I agree on the medical side of things. I accept that we have a higher life expectancy than people did then. I was more interested in comparing the quality of life. This includes things like happiness, community, and so on...

Hi, these are great points. Do you have any sources for these claims so I can look into them? Appreciate it.

Thanks for this. Only just now did I have the time to sit down and watch the video. All I can say is, this is a great video. The video confirmed by suspicions. Nice to know we have it worse than our predecessors.*

Edit: *In terms of work

I have not looked into any sources on what life was like for a feudal peasant. However, I've heard that peasants had more holidays and rest. I also believe the life of a peasant was more communal and satisfactory with religion being a central feature. This, to me, is a stark contrast to the life of the modern proletariat in the Global North who often lives for work, is more and more isolated, and maybe gets only a month off work. Yes, we have higher life expectancy now (quantity) but I cant help but think that peasants had a better quality of life. Please educate me on this topic and provide some sources to look at. Thank you! 🙏

I got a tough one for you. Are dialectics eternal? in c/philosophy@lemmygrad.ml
[–] ProletarianLandlord@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 4 months ago

The Marxist dialectic is just a way of thinking thats more accurate than anything thats come before it. At some point some other philosopher will end up devising a way of thinking that surpasses the Marxist dialectic. Philosophy isn't a static thing. Marx built on Hegel's ideas of dialectics taking it from it idealist sense and flipping it to apply the material world. This is how Marx was able to arrive at the conclusion that capitalism could not last. Socialism and communism will have contradictions like the capitalism that came before it. To overcome those contradictions, maybe a new way of thinking must be surmised - we do not know. For now, it is paramount to act on what we do know and overthrow capitalism. Marxism is a science. Just like Einstein expanded upon Newton's theory of gravity; Mao and Lenin expanded on the theories of Marx. It's a process. Theorising "will dialectics always exist?" is a pointless exercise. A different theory will arise. Dialectics is just the most accurate right now.
