🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<Stealth 100 Edition

Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid. 🏈 💵
Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™ 🌭 🍔

Yeah it’s like how the term “emotional labor” was used in academia to describe the unpaid work things like service workers do where they have to be bubbly and happy to see you for “customer service” despite whatever chaos is happening in their home life. Then it was used to basically explain “I’m angry at you and you should pay me for emotional labor of explaining why you’re wrong” and now people just eye roll at the term.

Mamdani will have zero issues with finance side as he won't have to manage. He is appointing linda khan for it who was the head of ftc for a bit and has populist/progressive views in finance while being very educated. This was an incredible pick and I am glad she was willing to take the job

I'm a PhD candidate who actually understands Hegel and has a grasp the broad history/development of left wing thought from Rousseau to Zizek. I'm sick today and remembered this place existed. If you are trying to get a better handle on theory of any kind and have questions on how to go about understanding something, go ahead. I imagine this makes me sound like an ass, but I promise that I'm being totally sincere

>says is an ideological understanding of the Dialectical method
Here we have one such philosophizer and mystifier of dialectics. In service of the bourgeoisie, they speak, failing to grasp that all understandings are ideological. They point out the most obvious as if dealing a fatal blow but fell only themselves. Their critique is hollow shell, revealing their own allegiance to the bourgeois myth of "pure," non-ideological thought.
>which is incapable of grasping the logic of the thought itself.
Behold the bourgeois mysticism of dialectics that the founders of scientific socialism slew long ago. True idealists, these sorts fetishize the "logic of thought itself" as if this has any material meaning. They have severed thought from the concrete, material reality it reflects—the very essence of bourgeois alienation. The mystificator hides behind a veil of superiority, yet they provide no concrete explanations or refutations. All form, no content; all accusation, no analysis; a hopeless effort not to win the ideological struggle, but to end conversation. These sorts are living monument to intellectual bankruptcy of the bourgeoisie, which can not argue in good faith, or at all, but only sneer from ruins of its own philosophy.

>>2553090
I do not believe in race inasmuch as one wishes to claim that race possesses physical, natural, genetic reality: this is something that science, without the intervention of any left-wing ideology, has shown for nearly a century now anyway. Now, the typical reaction to this is to show that there are biological differences between people–which is plainly true–but this fact in itself is not equivalent to the notion that race itself actually exists within nature. Race is an idea, a category, which is utilized to group types of people together according to further categories (namely, impressions of similarities and dissimilarities, which, again, are categories of thought used by the subject to organize reality); reality in itself does not posit the groupings or associations or divides between human people, it is our notions and historical habits that do (the two of which, obviously, are somewhat inseparable from one another). Obviously people are different: but the categories (to say nothing of the values we ascribe to those categories) are fictions. They're real fictions that have an impact on real life, to be sure, but fictions nevertheless. Book related is an excellent, excellent tour of this explanation—even if I find their particular terminology a little cringe.

>>2553113
C'mon pal, why do you write like this.

>They have severed thought from the concrete, material reality it reflects
You've missed the point that thought and reality are co-constitutive; material reality *is* the notion; in your tradition of thought, it has reached the point of presuming one actually has direct access to that material reality, as though it were not itself instantiated by the notion one were attempting to "move past" or "see through"!

OP, thanks for your time.

I wanted to ask two questions. First, can you provide a legitimate layman's explanation of Hegel's core thoughts? I mean, say explaining it to some young guy at a construction site. Because I've been reading this thread and the closest thing I've comprehended was the image you posted with Christoph Waltz, but I still just don't get it.

Second, what should a communist understand about all this and why?

>Europoor

It's becoming increasingly clear that the majority of proles in Europe and North America are being brainwashed by their phones into believing immigration is the biggest issue in their countries. I have largely ignored this issue, as I don't really think it matters but then, last night, there was a lumpen riot in Dublin against an IPAS centre in which a foreign national who had been denied asylum and was told to "self-deport" had apparantly raped a 10 year old girl who was under state care. I usually don't believe a lot of the lies told about "migrants" online but this case makes me feel particularly uncomfortable.

It was a clear failure from the neoliberal Irish government and it's institutions that allowed something like this to happen. Why wasn't this man deported immediately after being denied asylum? Too expensive, apparently. Why was this man allowed to be in a situation where he could sexually abuse a child? Why is this man in my country in the first place? Ofc, the Free State institutions are keeping silent on it, pissing off people even more.

So, how do leftists feel about immigration and the current asylum process? Obviously, I understand this wouldn't be an issue if western corps weren't raping the third world but I also think there is a discussion to be had. Are open borders in the current world really working? Would they work post-capitalism? How do you feel about immigration, positively or negatively?

Nationalism from socialism can work if it is an emergent quality of the dominant group


Even within socialism the ultimately most effective survival strategy for individuals groups is transgression, and imposition.
Thus the more dominant group will naturally assert itself within communism.
The majority should belong to the capitalist class, for when the revolution destroys them as a class they are thus destroyed biologically by the one true race.

It is the dialectical falseability of the greater classes.
It is the most broad revolution.

Why is it that some left wing people advocate for reverse colonialism, even despite being white? If your goal is to end subjugation then isn’t this an antithetical stance? An eye for an eye only results in people seeking more “vengeance”. If this is the case, then why is colonialism bad in the first place?

Why is leftypol not throwing massive support behind Mamdani?

No one believes he’s an actual socialist, however his victory will be the most important victory of the American left of the past 90 years. Why? Because it shows the Zionist Lobby has NO POWER compared to the power of the MASSES OF PEOPLE and we can defeat the satanic Zionist entity not with a violent revolution but simply with voting. Nobody believes Mamdani is a perfect candidate but that’s not the point.

So why aren’t we backing him en masse? His inevitable win will be the biggest blow to US-Zio imperialism in modern history.

>>2553074
Nothing, which begs the question of why

1) he had to comment on and then flip flop about the topic in the first place.
And why
2) did his supporters use his initial apparent anti-zionism as a selling point, and after he backpedalled, started dismissing it as irrelevant?

It's because
1) support of genocide is a non-negotiable position in american politics. Among with many other positions.
2) opposition to genocide is a negotiable position for the american voter, they are willing to drop it as long as they get their rent freezes.

1) suggests that "electoralism doesn't work", but that's only if you care about genocide
2) suggests that electoralism does work if you're a western middle class petty bourgeois pig who wants to accumulate property and live off the blood of the third world

conclusion: america is a democracy, americans support genocide, and that's why the american people deserve what's coming to them

>>2552982
>That's what you call a settler colonial state after the genocide is complete.
Would you say that South Africa is an example of a completed genocide then?

Trotsky was the main player in the October Revolution and subsequent civil war while also making very important theoretical contributions to Marxism.
It's a shame that his reputation is nowadays ruined thanks to both Stalinoids who don't even understand why they're supposed to hate him and sectarian and irrelevant Trotskyist micro cells.

>>2552834
Bro is right but for the wrong reasons. The Stalinoid policy of SIOC was a betrayal of communism and the USSR aiding Korea, Vietnam and Cuba was indeed not international communist solidarity but opportunistic empire building.

Unfortunately butthurt belter eurofags have much more political-institutional to seriously harm or ruin your life outside of redditard three arrow apologists, grover furr is not considered a historian or a professional on his area, but as a ""genocide"" denier, unlike the MI6 plant, robert conquest, which rectified and left alot of his views, commit historical innacuracies, and is considered a expert, so is applebaum to douglas tottles.
The Polish government, with a hand of yeltsinite traitors, killed the katyn issue and closed the discussion, even with new evidence coming as also proof of even german body transfers from volyn poles massacred to katyn.
In reality, anti-communist neoliberal warriors control academic institutions and online forums to push its agenda and historical revisionism under a lense of "unbias" and "academic rigor"

Knowing the real history of American radical left-wing groups, this film is far too generous about their capabilities. In reality, they wouldn’t have killed any political figure higher than a superintendent, would likely have set off a bomb that killed a good portion of their members or been shot dead and arrested if they actually tried fighting against an armed resistance.

The Bolsheviks won 23% in the first Russian elections. More importantly, they had established a popular base within the Tsarist Army, recruiting soldiers, low-ranking officers and then later forcefully conscripting higher-ranking Tsarist Generals. Without these decisions, they would have lost the war and been crushed, a footnote in history. A Western leftist party is nowhere near that popular, and the idea of them having support in their nation's military is as unrealistic as monkeys flying. The CCP started out really small and would have been irrelevant as well, but by that time the Soviet Union had established itself and was willing to aid the Nationalists if they formed a union with the Communists. During this period, they would proselytize soldiers and peasants alike, creating an entire left-wing faction within the KMT, numbering in the hundreds of thousands from virtually nothing. This left-wing would become the basis of Mao's CCP. All of this was the result of pragmatism and political common sense.

>>2552204
>We are 'China shills,'(e know that China isn’t fully communist)
If you know this, why do you use this tactic? I can understand using "Mao Zedong Thought" as a basis with the intent to pivot towards a more effective socialist strategy later on, but holding up China instead of charting your own course seems self-defeating.

you say to be normal i think that is good. you say to self-censor. so you dont talk about religion on specific politicians.

this is fine. when people bring up religion ambiguously refer to religious values that align with your politics and say something about regular peoples material needs. you dont need to say hail satan 666 tip your fedora and say god is dead. if people bring up a politician dont criticize him, offer a positive example of something you would like to see. people dont want to see a raging troll say fuck that guy he is a capitalist pig bring on the guillotine etc and if they do want to see that they wont respect it.

Like I’ve explained throughout this thread, politics in modern corrupt countries is a web of maneuvering and political tactics that can be literal life and death. Although these countries hold elections, they aren’t true democracies in any simple sense. Right now my country is governed by an alliance of two entrenched corrupt parties and a military junta. You can’t meaningfully campaign against them or even publish criticism, people who speak out will have thugs show up at their homes to beat them and their families, while the police look the other way. That has happened in the past and it’s happening now. And I know some will call for armed resistance, but that’s far more difficult and dangerous than many outsiders realize. This is my biggest issue Western leftists, you misunderstand war and conflict on comical levels, they assume the Cuban model (or similar conflicts) can be reproduced by adopting the “right” politics, as if there were a universal key. In reality, any semi-competent military can crush most insurgencies unless the insurgents are exceptionally capable and the state is deeply incompetent and or already collapsing from other problems.

As for our relationship with China, we understand its current complexity. Regardless of what we believe to be the best path(whether it’s Maoism, Marxism-Leninism, or some form of folk socialism unique to a particular party) we all support China. Their acknowledgment of us is the only reason we’ve survived this long. The CCP itself was a minor party in the beginning, but it became the official Communist Party of China at a time when the Soviet Union was a major power, and the Soviets forced the inclusion of communists within the KMT ranks. From there, they proselytized among soldiers, peasants, and bureaucrats, hundreds of thousands of men and women. This leftist faction of the KMT later became the foundation of the CCP. Regardless of what happened afterward, the CCP grew into a major political power within China, and that’s our aim as well.

I think being "normal" is mostly about having your own house in order (the problem is that this can be very difficult for a lot of people for reasons outside of their control, especially when things are becoming more expensive), and also having a life outside of politics to some extent. Like, I need politics to take care of things that I need, but I don't need politics to be my identity or personality so much. You need to be able to relate to your own context and environment. Like just being a worker among working people, not one of these kids fucking around on Discord on his phone.

A lot of leftists in my experience that you'll encounter online anyways here in my country tend to treat leftism like it's a music subculture, like being a punk or goth or something. There's a certain "fuck these normies" attitude with some of these people. But in fact the dominant ideology is all about acting like an edgelord, look at Elon Musk. He's the richest man in the world and acts like an edgy teenager.

I'm not posting pictures of myself but my (ftm) abdomen currently pretty much looks like picrel and my 0.81 whr makes me extremely dysphoric. I'm not anorexic but I've been underweight nearly my whole life, and testosterone just made it so that I have more muscle than before with an extremely low body fat percentage.
I want to avoid gaining body fat as much as possible because body fat increases your aromatization and I also don't want to get wider hips or lose any muscle definition or vascularity.
I've tried working obliques and it seems like it's done something, but I've only really gained in the lower halves of my obliques. Do I need to target the upper half separately?

Why though? I mean you mentioned dysphoria, but narrow waist isnt unmasculine trait.

>>4697
it isn't an unmasculine trait on its own perhaps, but gynoid fat distribution and bone structure after E puberty also tends to result in larger hips, which combine with the waist into one of those ridiculous pixar mom body types
and, if you're a trans male, seeing this shit in the mirror is akin to witnessing a horrific atrocity beyond your comprehension unfolding right in front of you

File: 1762549563660.jpg (237.18 KB, 1600x997, 2023-Olympia-Bodybuilding-….jpg)

>>4699
But that pixar mom build has more to do with hip to shoulder ratio, rather than waist. Bodybuilders have high hip:waist ratio, but nobody would call them feminine.

>>4701
true, i failed to consider that one ;-;
so you're suggesting OP/other trans men possibly itt to focus on building shoulder muscle?

>>4702
Yeah, low bodyfat and lot of upper body workouts. And dont neglect lower either, you want tight and firm, not loose and flabby.

What do you think about German far-left political party named Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – Reason and Justice aka BSW?
Are they true communist redpilled comrades? Do they have any future? Will they replace Die Linke and would/will you vote for that party if were/are a German?

>Communism is internationalist
Internationalism means not doing the bidding of your bourgeois overlords in their imperialist wars you fucking moron. Especially as a european, it is our imperialist governments that cause this whole mess in the first place. You are perpetuating their goals with your petulant tantrum about le ebil ruskies

>Nowhere in any theory does it say "btw you should support the forces of capital when it happens in countries your own government dislikes"
Really now?
<During a reactionary war a revolutionary class cannot but desire the defeat of its government.

<This is axiomatic, and disputed only by conscious partisans or helpless satellites of the social-chauvinists. Among the former, for instance, is Semkovsky of the Organising Committee (No. 2 of its Izvestia), and among the latter, Trotsky and Bukvoyed,[2] and Kautsky in Germany. To desire Russia’s defeat, Trotsky writes, is “an uncalled-for and absolutely unjustifiable concession to the political methodology of social-patriotism, which would replace the revolutionary struggle against the war and the conditions causing it, with an orientation—highly arbitrary in the present conditions—towards the lesser evil” (Nashe Slovo No. 105).

<This is an instance of high-flown phraseology with which Trotsky always justifies opportunism. A “revolutionary struggle against the war” is merely an empty and meaning less exclamation, something at which the heroes of the Second International excel, unless it means revolutionary action against one’s own government even in wartime. One has only to do some thinking in order to understand this. Wartime revolutionary action against one’s own government indubitably means, not only desiring its defeat, but really facilitating such a defeat. ("Discerning reader”: note that this does not mean “blowing up bridges”, organising unsuccessful strikes in the war industries, and ·in general helping the government defeat the revolutionaries.)

>there are a couple decent former hard-left Linke members such a Sevim Dagdelen with BSW, however some local chapters attracted a lot of career politician types who came out as disgusting CDU/AfD types over time in terms of economics and social policy … BSW looks like a total mess right now and on top of about to be taken over by center-rightoid AfD type petit-bourgeois pricks … Not sure about supporting Die Linke either at this point, they do have decent takes on landlord-ism and are even vocally anti-capitalist, which is BSW not at all.
I guess Die Linke benefited from focusing on inflation and cost of living. This is a theme in politics around the world right now. It's a lesson for the Z gang posters here. It doesn't seem like that has many political expressions, rather it exists more among a kind of YouTube intelligentsia.

I showed my (liberal American) mom the Bundestagwahlspots from the last election and asked her to rank them in the order she liked the most. Note this is a woman who doesn't know a word of German so how would she respond to the vibes. Die Linke came first. (They cheated a little, Jan van Aken is wearing a "Tax the Rich" shirt.) The BSW spot was the only one where she had no opinion positive nor negative. There wasn't anything "there." Who was it for? Meanwhile Alice Wiedel freaked her out while Merz and Scholz looked like smarmy douchebags.

Like watch this. The whole thing is such a downer. The Die Linke people actually looked kind of mad about stuff and also more fun to hang out with.

Maybe petit-bourgeois intellectualism is part of this. Like I was saying, Wagenknecht is someone you'd know about if you read a lot of political magazines. But most people don't read those magazines.

BTW, I heard some anecdote from DSA types about Die Linke people coming here to learn from the DSA, and they'd tell them to do door-to-door canvassing (which Americans really love doing for some reason), and the Germans would go do that and be like *knock knock* ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE PRECARIAT

>>2553045
You clearly don't even understand the meaning of the text you just posted.
Revolutionary defeatism doesn't equate to simply supporting the other side to your own government, nor to simply supporting the opposing army.
Desiring the defeat of your government doesn't simply equate to always siding with their enemies in all cases.
That is called campism and is a type of intellectual retardation. Your nation being bad doesn't mean all it's enemies are good.

You use that twisted misunderstanding to say we should all be anti-communist, third worldist, Z Putinists like you because correctly identify that Ukraine and NATO are also pretty bad in their own ways.
But, by that same logic you rely on, the Russian soldiers should all support Ukraine in support of revolutionary defeatism against their own side, the capitalist oligarchical Russian state.
But you clearly don't support that stance, because you don't actually believe this line of logic, you just use it to explain why you think everyone should support Russia.

The truth is both Ukraine and NATO are demented, capitalist, endorse fascist groups and totally fucked up, as is Russia.
I've repeatedly stated this like 1000 times but your apparent ideological refusal to comprehend my words (due to Zigger, campist, third worldist brainwashing) stops you from understanding it.
The solution is as you said, revolutionary defeatism. That means revolutionary defeatism. That means for all sides and it doesn't simply mean support the opposing army or that everyone on the opposing side is good.
Yet you'll continue to call me a Ukrainian shill because your loyalty to Putinism outweighs your willingness to understanding my posts or to understand Marxism.
Don't bother wasting your time on theory until you overcome this bizarre undying loyalty to Russia at all costs, clearly it is pointless.

*This is mainly targeted towards zoomers on TikTok

Practically all leftist "propaganda edits" have been filtered towards slop copies of whatever the far right has been doing for the past few years;

The right starts making little dark age edits with World War 2 movies? The left copies that, only changing it from the German sided perspective to the Soviet,

The right starts putting shitty statistics over nature scenarios with nightcore blasting through? The left copies it, only changing the statistic and adding a ushanka to the retarded greek statue reaction image,

The right starts doing Agartha/Hyperborea edits? The left copies it, only changing the symbolism from the Black Sun to Red Shambhala (And yes, I know the whole Red Shambhala thing is supposed to be a parody of that),

What the fuck are we doing in that department? Any suggestions?

As a personal witness to it I really do think it's some sort of manufactured push to introduce these visuals in the sphere. They literally use fucking agartha and esoteric nazi aesthetics for a lot of these red shambhala edits (not just a twitter thing btw, mostly done over short form video sites like TikTok) but the more realistic explanation is that some reddit fags hop from ideology to ideology and a few of them have editing skills and carry over motifs (which then spread via memetics or w/e)

What a pathetic person you are. You're probably a millennial. No in fact I know for certain that you are. As a zoomer I cannot remember a single time within my entire life that there was any major leftist action within the united states. You (Yes you, millenials including the person reading this) have failed to do absolutely any outreach or mentoring and yet many of us have still moved to and embraced the left. Basically what I am saying with that is that you have no grounds to criticize how we are making left wing content. But GOD FORBID we play off of what's popular and actually ingratiate ourselves with people outside of our smaller sphere.
>B- b But it's edgy and esoteric!!!!!!
Have you ever seen a tiktok edit before? If you haven't then please stop reading here and go find a hole somewhere to crawl into and die, you're completely out of touch and of no use at all. If you have then you know that there's tiktok edits of literally everything: Cars, anime, cats, etc. It doesn't fully pull just from right wing shit, Red Shambhala is majorly just going along with the tiktok style of things. You say its esoteric as of that's already a bad thing and should be understood just from that to be a bad thing, which sounds just like christian morality bullshit. Next you're going to tell me that playing dnd and listening to rock music is going to let satan steal my soul. If it's so bad and terrible then do your own agitation and outreach. I know you won't. You'll never do anything but sit around and complain about the state of things. If a revolution happens in America then at this point it's going to be gen z that starts it.

There is no single case of political leadership ever remaining stable under any centralized force no matter what country where talking. The most stable societies have always worked with the local leaders of various regions and had the majority of administrative and bureaucratic work delegated to small collaborative teams of men and women working together to build a stabler society. Is decentralized authority slow and often inefficient? Yeah. Is it stable and otherwise reliable on steady civilizational progress? Yes. With the era of communication, paper, and digital communication, it’s a better era than ever to decentralize authority. The world doesnt need and never needed autocrats, aristocracies, strongmen, dictators, or oligarchs. We need a society of people working and talking to each other consistently on what to do to make life easier for one another.

>a successful example of centralized authority
Have you read anything about how politically unstable and violent Chinese history is?
>rome
Moderately less shitty example if not for the fact that its existence was in a near constant state of internal collapse. Seriously, do people just look at Caesar and forget that most Roman emperors barely remained longer than a few months if not weeks in power before some asshole would overthrow them?
>other civilizations
The Holy Roman Empire was notorious for internal wars and civil wars. Feudal Europe as a fractured hellhole run by barons and various warlords competing over land while the church remained a central authority only known for tithes, scandals, and outright lying to people as it is now. MENA wasn’t faring much better considering how many internal collapses would unfold without a Muslim expansion to drive and force some level of internal cohesion to mask how bad things were getting for even political leaders in it.

Ele aumentou o próprio salário em 300%, ajudou na privatização do metro de BH e o preço da passagem tá lá em cima agora, de ônibus também tá cara, mas o agronegócio tá pocando.

Sou concursado mas to passando aperto em casa, o discurso neoliberal invadiu o ensino em minas, tem professor das matérias do novo ensino médio que é coach, pessoal que lê café com deus pai, parte da mulecada tá esperta que isso é merda, o que eu posso eu faço, mas se tu tá cursando licenciatura em história; saiba que seus futuros colegas de trabalho vão ser um bando de liberal e conservador, poucos aderem greves sindicais, uma vez foi só eu e outra professora. Zema ta fudendo minas, a educação ta cada vez mais desfalcada e sucateada e o movimento sindical ta com pouca adesão.

Just finished this one. Can't believe it's recommended here. If you have a /g/ schizo background skip it because you already know it's all botnet. Zuboff is a lib appropriating Marxist terminology and concludes the book with a call to "just voot against it" completely ignoring the structure of bourgeois democracy. She spends a chapter glazing Robert Conquest's demonization of the soviet union, and to top it off she scaremongers about China, conflating (now defunct) credit bureaus with every lie about the social credit system.

The premise is "normie loser just like you gets to hang out with cool characters who want to fuck him". Its a social simulator, not a job simulator. Mundanity is part of the appeal, makes it more relatable.

Anyway, episodes 5 and 6 came out, only one more week to go. I was wrong about release schedule, they release 2 episodes every week, which is weird, but whatever.
I have hard time finding places where to talk about Dispatch. I checked its subreddit, and while I enjoy the game, the level of dicksucking people there display is too much.

One thing that I found amusing in new episode is the cast hanging out at the "villain bar", which in look was designed as a dingy punk/metal bar, but insode which they played some indie rock song. Again I suspect it relates to writers writing not from personal experience, but from other media. Like they sort of know how seedy bar should look like, but not sound.

>1. why would anyone actively organize for an armed revolt whose ultimate goal is to lower the quality of their own life?
Historically, we saw the same process in the Segunda Republica Española (i.e). See, the process of de-colonization that freed millions in Latin-America struck a severe blow to Spain’s wealthy classes. While the old elites yearned for past epochs of glory, stuck in the past, yearned the prestige they had, the imposing power (fuck even one of the kings of Spain was the king of Europe, or what remained as the Roman Empire, known as the Holy Roman Empire), the problems amounted, the situation was bleak, and poor people grew poorer. their solution was un-material: to return to imperialism. but in bankruptcy, it's impossible.
imperialism isn't a force that can be sustained forever. imperialized countries gain some force and start reclaiming better wages, winning economic battles, better life conditions, like the old Spanish colonies; similarly with China (and one of the reasons goods have become expensive) the conditions of imperialism become weaker, and the resulting system creates a good moment for communists to size control. the same way communists sized power in Spain, and Russia.
CPUSA isn't on its own fed, though their decisions are debatable, they operate under their material conditions. But the DSA it's another story. They have invited NED-funded people to talk in their forums, and have incessantly defended or justified the track record of some of their backed officials, like bernie sanders or AOC. As they will once the NYC mayor fails to deliver meaningful relief.
So why would anyone actively organize for an armed revolt?
when time comes, the only way to guarantee that the ruling elites stop their control, and the wealth is redistributed; and with this I mean the wealth that is stolen from the people, the only way you can take the US out of the current imperialist elites chaos they have set the US people up is through these organizations.
it won't be pretty, it won't be perfect, but it'll be yours, and that's the point.

>In 1848, Schopenhauer witnessed violent upheaval in Frankfurt after General Hans Adolf Erdmann von Auerswald and Prince Felix Lichnowsky were murdered. He became worried for his own safety and property. […] He gave a friendly welcome to Austrian soldiers who wanted to shoot revolutionaries from his window and as they were leaving he gave one of the officers his opera glasses to help him monitor rebels. The rebellion passed without any loss to Schopenhauer and he later praised Alfred I, Prince of Windisch-Grätz, for restoring order. He even modified his will, leaving a large part of his property to a Prussian fund that helped soldiers who became invalids while fighting rebellion in 1848 or the families of soldiers who died in battle.
Ah, so he was actively reactionary, as his class position, and his actions to defend his class position reveal.
>As Young Hegelians were advocating change and progress, Schopenhauer claimed that misery is natural for humans and that, even if some utopian society were established, people would still fight each other out of boredom, or would starve due to overpopulation.
Ohh… it's just… umm…. humans are gonna be miserable no matter what…. please don't make me lose my property…. I'm so miserable with all this property…. Prussian soldiers…. please defend my property from the rabble…. who are definitely just as miserable in poverty as I am in wealth… oh heavens…. I … ohh…..

GYATT DAMN

it's funny to me how some half witted bourgie philosopher can be a misogynist because he never fucked, and people will give them so much benefit of the doubt as to wonder if perhaps he arrived at some "uncomfortable truth" about women through his awesome philosophy and super big brain.

same with nietzsche lol

Operation Deep Sneed edition

Made a new thread since the other one is full. You know the drill folks, gather here to discuss and/or complain about Hearts of Iron 4 and all the alt history mods that make the game relevant. From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…

…three years of fucking Antarctica

I feel like we need to discuss why MMOs as a genre were never good, but how they were also fucking amazing. This is all due to when MMOs became a thing.
Most if not all MMOs people actually care about were from the early 2000s. They were all pushing the boundaries of capitalism over video games with either a subscription or whatever the hell is wrong with the korean industry, but, and I must stress this, but…they came out during the ONLY MOMENT they would've been successful.
They were social spaces, social WORLDS in fact, they were by definition larping sims. In an era where that was still a new thing. From 2003-2012, MMOs had THIS as their main wow factor. This is also their only staying power in media ABOUT video games, their sense of community and ability to break barriers…of course, all those external pieces of media also made it about how MMO players were losers, but nontheless, that was why they became a genre.
After social media became a permanent staple of human life, MMOs had practically no point anymore. Most of them were already garbage gameplay wise. This is why we all want classic wow, or classic maple, or the return of wonderking (which, by the way, looks like actual garbage, to my dismay).
We didn't "grow out" of MMOs, that is what idiots with no argument say to shut you up, the WORLD outgrew MMOs, and sadly, we have been conditioned to not be impressed or enamoured.
>what the fuck are you saying OP??
I'm saying what I mean, anon. Maybe I was groomed by this industry to endure capitalism, but DAMN IT, there was a time talking to someone as your personal chibi avatar was cool and FUN! Now it's a fucking bore, I cannot understand why anyone would play an MMO in 2025, almost all of them are bad wow clones.

I used to play Mabinogi when I was a broke ass kid hopping from f2p mmo to f2p. It grabbed at the time due to how different it felt from everything else. The setting being based on irish mythology, the combat being a weird offshoot of typical mmo combat where now individual hits cause hitstun and knock back and skills having a rps relationship where certain ones can counter and stop others (though nowadays this aspect of the game is getting sanded off), your character aging overtime, all the sandbox elements like there not being any set classes or an entire system to creating custom music, I could go on. However the game is a massive grindfest and those who're willing to open up the wallets will always be ahead of you in it. I heard it's getting remade in UE5 or something but I don't think I have the time or patience to play it (or any other mmo) whenever that happens. Regardless, it was a fun experience even if I managed to not make friends in an mmo because I was scared of people thinking I was ass at the game.

>bad wow clone
funny considering wow is probably the worst of the currently popular ones in terms of gameplay

>>44755
Honestly discord in particular did a lot to gut the social aspect and accelerate the breaking up of the community into cliques. Either way it's probably just my autism but Maplestory is the only one that ever grabbed me. I still play it. The upcoming winter update looks really promising.
Also, like war, capitalism is fun when it's a video game, i figured mmos were more like closely regulated market economies via a central body (the corp running it), not necessarily a free one. Or is there a difference?

Anyone ever play the goat, OG Tibia?

So how does the AI boom end? Will they fire everyone, or will it blow up before it gets to that point? The rate of profit should be falling because the more unemployment the less spending, but in today's ultrafinancialized world spending by the rich is actually up while everyone else's is down. The bourgeois have access to direct financing from the banks and central banks and they use it to buy up more and more hard resources and land and then use that to borrow even more, inflating the value of everything for everyone except themselves. And because the masses are jacked into playing their dumbass numbers game they are just becoming impoverished while sitting on their hands and coping that everything business as usual. Will there be a breaking point?

>Will they fire everyone, or will it blow up before it gets to that point?
no reason why both cant happen simultaneously, investors keep rewarding layoffs because it looks like they're optimizing for AI, but it's also masking the insane contraction the US is going through, the bubble collapsing wont create jobs from thin air, so layoffs will continue indefinitely.

>>2551882
yeah they're trying to get the government on the hook for depreciating GPUs lol, what's worse is that I think trump will literally buy sam altman's garbage anyway

>>2552929
i wonder if the trump admin has a choice, like within the bounds of what they believe or understand about economics what else can they do

>>2552933
i have no idea, because trump went hard on AI literally day two of his mandate, but he has failed to materialize the actual money for shit like stargate, so an alternative that could very well happen is that trump will promise to build this "compute reserve" and do nothing at all.

they're making "AI GPUs" now. it's not a GPU at that point it's an AIPU. we don't call CPUs "central GPUs".

they should call them AIPUs and market them as that.

APU was unfortunately taken by AMD's marketing team pretending that an integrated GPU was novel or useful in a new way.

My money is on NPU.

GPU but the G stands for Gay

Machine learning specific processors have been around for a long while. Tensor processing units. Mostly good for regression, running cnns, rnns.

>>31631
yeah intel went really hard with their neural sticks, google had their tensor cores, apple had their own name for it too, mostly for computer vision, when AI was still cool in the eyes of consumers.
