It's a clique of productivist anti-communists who are influenced by a guy called Rafiq on the old revleft forums who declared that if you don't make it your mission to plow every inch of soil, fell every tree, and dredge the ocean of fish you are a Hitlerite who fetishizes nature.

The way this website is designed there are not dozens like this for Muslims. This is rare for a website like this to exist in the west

So Britain now has TWO parties that are just cults of personality around a person. You have Reform and the Farage cult on the right, and whatever this new party is going to be called and the Corbyn cult on the left. And to top it all off, Corbyn's party will probably be completely indistinguishable from the worker's party. It'll 100% have exactly the same platform.

>>2374496
Reform isn't a Farage cult, it's just Farage was the only person in that party that had any personality.
Also the worker party has expressed support for this new DemSoc party, so who knows. The worker party might be considered way too socially conservative for younger voters.

I agree with Corbyn this probably wasn't the best time to split and announce this new party. But it seems to be encouraged by the broader far left so it might work out smoother than expected. The greens just forming a socialist caucus as soon as its announced is a bit annoying though.

Tomorrow a huge protest will be held in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade, protesting the government’s refusal to accept the demands made by the students, as well as protesting against general incompetence and corruption. From the student to the teacher, worker and pensioner, war veterans and children all around Serbia will gather together in this protest.
Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.

I wanted to talk about this in the other thread about Yugoslavia because I saw this thread on reddit today: https://old.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1lt0kf4/croatian_rightwing_singer_marko_perkovic_and_fans/
I've heard 20%-30% of the audience was diaspora, but what the fuck is wrong with Croats? Some of them seem really unapologetic about their past of Nazi collaboration.
Say what you want about Serbian war crimes and nationalism, actual Serbs are rather chill, don't really hate other nations after you talk a bit and most boomers seem to feel bad about what they did during the wars. Say what you want about Slovenes being smug and money obsessed, but there are anti-fascist graffitis everywhere in Ljubljana. Meanwhile in Croatia you get this. WTF. Next time I come to the region, I will skip everything and go straight to Bosnia I guess. Montenegro has nice coasts too. And a Croat girl locked me outside on a balcony a few days ago, I honestly don't have a good opinion of them.

>>2374401
croatia is the ukraine of balkans

>>2374401
The ideology of the independence war of the 90s in Croatia was founded upon the myth of Serbs as eternal Balkan villains. Hence anything anti-Serb, including literal Nazis, became cool.
>>2374407
It's worse than Ukraine. Ukrainians weren't frothing about Russia until Putin did his oopsie. Ukrainians commonly spoke Russian outside school, even those that weren't ethnically Ukrainian. Fucking Zelensky spoke Russian when he was doing comedy. 2022 changed sentiments but it's a recent development. Croatia has been in the chauvinist shitter long before. Also, unironically, huge numbers of Croatian diaspora are descendants of Ustaše.

>>2374424
>Ukrainians weren't frothing about Russia until Putin did his oopsie
Lol.

I wonder where the Canadian Ukrainians came from.
Still, this Ukrainian population was only a small part of Ukraine. It still is, even Google analytics shows this. Most people from there are just chill.

Depends on where you're starting from but the following might shock people:

In America more money is lost to wage theft than robberies. The brutal struggles that organized labor had to endure to get what we consider basic rights and hours. All kinds of trivia about global inequality. Imperial Britain extracted 45 trillion dollars from India. The rarely talked about late Victorian holocausts. Planned obsolescence and overproduction, mass goods thrown away in landfills. Planned economic recessions to destroy worker power. How war isn't so bad from the capitalist POV because it helps restore profitability by destroying vast amounts of capital.

If you went through Marx/Engels/Lenin picking out truth bombs we could be here all day even ignoring the technical stuff.

- Products of human labor seem to control us and have a will of their own; socialism is in part a project to reverse this so we're in control. Think of when people talk about "the economy" or "the market" like it's a God that must be sated or else it will punish us.

- It doesn't matter if you replaced all the "greedy rich people" with saints. They're just representations of capital, an amoral social relation. It must seek the greatest return on investment or perish.

- Capitalism trends towards centralization and monopoly.

- The demand for equality is incoherent beyond the abolition of classes.

LMAO I knew as soon as I read the OP that the comments would be filled with people gleefully telling them to read books written in the 19th and early 20th century.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing that a Western leftist loves more than making reading lists. It's no wonder leftism is seen as a middle class, elitist subculture by the working class

I will recommend some stuff written after 1990 that is more readable and relevant.


>The Divide- Jason Hickel. Gives a history of how the global North has exploited the South. Readable


Imperialism in the Twenty First Century- John Smith. Excellent and much needed update of marxist theory on imperialism. many people will tell you to read Lenin, but frankly, he is outdated. This is a modern classic.

Hardt and Negri- Multitude. A praxis for a global uprising, not just the proletariat, but all who labour under capitalism.

Farming Was Extensive in Ancient North America, Study Finds

A new study has found that a thickly forested sliver of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is the most complete ancient agricultural location in the eastern United States. The Sixty Islands archaeological site is recognized as the ancestral home of the Menominee Nation. Known to the members of the tribe as Anaem Omot (Dog’s Belly), the area is a destination of pilgrimage, where remains of the settlement date to as far back as 8,000 B.C.

Located along a two-mile stretch of the Menominee River, Sixty Islands is defined by its cold temperatures, poor soil quality and short growing season. Although the land has long been considered unsuitable for farming, an academic paper published on Thursday in the journal Science revealed that the Menominee’s forbears cultivated vast fields of corn and potentially other crops there.

“Traditionally, intensive farming in former times has been thought to be mostly limited to societies that had centralized power, large populations and a hierarchical structure, often with accumulated wealth,” said Madeleine McLeester, an environmental archaeologist at Dartmouth College and lead author of the study. “And yet until now the assumption has been that the agriculture of the Menominee community in the Sixty Islands area was small in scale, and that the society was largely egalitarian.”

The findings of the new survey indicate that from A.D. 1000 to 1600 the communities that developed and maintained the fields were seasonally mobile, visiting the area for only a portion of the year. They modified the landscape to suit their needs, by clearing forest, establishing fields and even amending the soil to make fertilizer.

>Mapping an ancient site


In the spring of 2023, when the snow cover was gone but the leaves had not yet emerged, Dr. McLeester and her team conducted a drone-based LIDAR survey over some 330 remarkably intact acres of Sixty Islands, about 40 percent of the site.

LIDAR uses pulses of laser light to create a detailed map of Earth’s surface. Over the last decade, archaeologists have relied heavily on the technology; drone-based LIDAR has only become practical or possible within the last few years. “It provides much higher resolution, which enables us to recognize subtle features that would otherwise be invisible,” said Jesse Casana, the Dartmouth archaeologPost too long.

so in some infuriating news it seems this whole area around the fortin de huatusco, which is one of the few pyramids outside the maya area with some of the summit temple still standing, burned between 2021 and 2025 and there's NO news whatsoever about it.
the area itself is completely unguarded by the inah it doesn't seem as if any proper excavations or investigations have ever been done.

guess if you can't be turned into an amusement park for international tourism like chichen itza, tulum or teotihuacan the government just can't be bothered to give a shit about you.

Archaeologists in Peru unveil 3,500-year-old city that linked coast and Andes

Archaeologists on Thursday unveiled a 3,500-year-old city in Peru that likely served as a trading hub linking Pacific coast cultures with those in the Andes and Amazon, flourishing around the same time as early civilizations in the Middle East and Asia.

Drone footage released by researchers shows the city center is marked by a circular structure on a hillside terrace, with remains of stone and mud buildings constructed some 600 meters (1,970 feet) above sea level.

The urban center, named Peñico, is located in the northern Barranca province and was founded between 1,800 and 1,500 BC. It is close to where the Caral civilization, the oldest in the Americas, developed 5,000 years ago.

Ruth Shady, the archaeologist who led the research into Peñico, said the newly unveiled city is key because experts believe it emerged after the Caral civilization was devastated by climate change.

"They were situated in a strategic location for trade, for exchange with societies from the coast, the highlands and the jungle," Shady said.

Archaeologist Marco Machacuay, a researcher with the Ministry of Culture, said at a news conference that Peñico's importance lies in it being the continuation of the Caral society.

After eight years of studies, researchers have identified up to 18 structures in Peñico, including ceremonial temples and residential complexes.

I don't think there are any actual technocrats here any more, but /leftypol/ was the first place I came across them. I remember there being a few posters on the topic and webm clips from the embedded presentation.

Anyway, I was reminded of it again when I came across this article. It talks about technocracy's historical roots, influences, and the effect its had on the current "techbro" culture. I thought I'd post it here and hopefully get some added insight into it and the ideology guiding silicon valley oligarchs.

We need to escape the Gernsback Continuum
<Outdated science fiction is hobbling our dreams.
https://www.programmablemutter.com/p/we-need-to-escape-the-gernsback-continuum?

>As I admitted at the time, my review essay on Adam Becker’s More Everything Forever: AI Overlords, Space Empires and Silicon Valley’s Crusade to Control the Fate of Humanity was a bit of a bait-and-switch. Becker’s book explains how the dreams of science fiction have shaped Silicon Valley’s dreams of technology in general. I deliberately made a comparison that was both narrower and more fantastical: emphasizing how debates over AGI resembled the dreams of Renaissance alchemy. In partial redress, here’s a more specific argument about the relationship between science fiction and Silicon Valley.


>Again, it’s more a riff on Becker than a bald presentation of his argument, but the connections are much clearer, even if it isn’t quite the same argument that Becker makes. What Becker sees as rooted in 1950s and 1960s science fiction arguably goes back a few decades further: to the fusion of “scientifiction” and technocracy that happened in the early 1930s, right at the beginning of the so-called “Golden Age” of science fiction.


>Silicon Valley is trapped in a new version of the Gernsback Continuum - a situation in which it is collectively haunted by the visions of an imaginary future of endless expansion that didn’t happen and never will. Our escape route, as Becker suggests, is to acknowledge the physical and social limits that we can’t escape, and to try to construct better futures within those limits.

>>2373361
I don't think you scenario would hold up. Test scores as a prerequisite for voting rights is a system that can be easily gamed to reduce the participation of specific groups and starting a feedback loop. Furthermore about the scope of your proposal, i don't think tests on every single issue can be controlled as tightly as you imagine they would be, rather this invites many minor instances of corruption.

Conceptually, my favorite solution to the technocracy question is that positions of state may only be held by graduates of a mandarin-esque system, whose standards would need to be ratified by an organ solely representing the people. This means all policymakers would have a basic degree of competence in their field, hopefully without the disproportionate power of bureaucrats inherent in other forms of vetting.

What is it about moderate socdems that cause burger porkies to freak out like there's no tomorrow? Do they really think 2% wealth tax is going to mean fuck all to their lifestyle?

This is a hard pill to swallow but if you don't just read Lenin's pamphlets and theoretical works you'd realize he was actually a very ruthless, Machiavellian, and hypocritical person who neither represented the "bolshevik" (majority) of the population, nor even the proletarian minority in the cities. The SRs were much closer to a majority of the country and the Mensheviks (ironically "minority") were much closer to representing a majority of the proletariat. This is why Lenin dissolved the constituent assembly after the October revolution and betrayed his promise to the SRs and Mensheviks of a coalition government despite "supporting" it for years running around with the slogan "All power to the soviets." Which btw he led a war against the soviets while also claiming to represent them. The more history you read and the less theory you read the more you'll understand this. I know it can be hard to see past soviet hagiography, especially when the alternative histories are mostly cold war dogshit that overly slanders Lenin and everyone to the left of the Monarchists. You might say "well he won" but you have to accept he set up a govt. that couldn't even last 80 years. If all his ruthlessness resulted in a party dictatorship that was easily subverted from within by Khruschevite revisionists, then Perestroika revisionists, then fucking Yeltsinites, what was the point?

lmao you're losing the plot and the resolution on no fractions has little to nothing to do with zimmerwald, not even gonna pretend to engage in moralistic argument (muh lenine lived le comfy petty bourgeois life and not gruelsome prole existence eating nails and dirt) or that machiavellianism is somehow 'bad' (or 'good') but something to politics like origin of speices or capital are to biology or political economy. git gud in the game or get purged

>>2373547
It's on "him" (wink wink) to explain how he was an opportunist compared to, for example, any other left faction or a figure in one of those left factions. which exact policies were opportunistic?

btw "opportunism" means conceding to the bourgeoisie, but western marxists seem to use the term in the meaning of "not being a dogmatic, idealistic retard"

>>2373528
>Guess he had to purge all the other left factions for this.
unironically speaking the fact they where destroyed by the bolsheviks despite supposedly being more popular and revolutionary kinda goes to show they never where gonna make it anyways if it wasn't Lenin it was gonna be the whites

>Lenin was a Machiavellian opportunist

OP criticizes the machiavellian Lenin (as if that was a bad thing) and completely ignores the fact that the other leftist factions are a perfect example of what happens to you if you don't adopt this attitude

Lenin took every oportunity to advance the revolution unlike the other factions who failed at every step but he never did anything for his own personal gain literally every step put him in more dangerous possitions

Why do MLs venerate Stalin as some great anti-fascist fighter? Stalin never fired a single shot at the Nazis in his entire life. Maybe he participated in the executions of his comrades, maybe he murdered one of them with his own hand early in his career to reach the top. As far as I can tell, the USSR won WW II despite Stalin – whose paranoia, gangsterism and lack of foresight brought them to the brink of disaster – rather than because of him. What is there to admire in that brutal psychopath?

Thus, the entire concept of “European” identity and “European” integration (separate form the rest of the future Global USSR) holds Zero value from a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist standpoint, as all the Nations/Ethnic groups of “Europe” will each get their own SSRs in the future Global USSR, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

> capital only has a claim to production once we get into the most sophisticated machines, but even then, their productive capacity can be categorised as a type of labor rather than capital, in the strict sense
ownership of means of production is not a form of labor. if you mean labor of superintendence of task delegation, that does not require ownership of stock or exorbitant pay to perform.

>>2367916
no, i am saying that once you have robots that perforn the same work as humans held as capital stock, then capital and labor become conceptualy intermingled. can means of production become autoproductive? the value which the capitalist brings is not superintendence, but the capital stock itself; thats why there is always incentive for investment. keynes also concurs that capital itself has marginal utility, meaning that at a certain gradient, too much money invested leads to diminished returns (this is also why government money holes dont fix problems, because the capital they invest is largely unproductive).

marx's crisis theory of capital is technically correct therefore; that the business cycle occurs due to the diminished returns on capital, leading to overproduction, or underconsumption. as marx also notes, this is only possible with monopoly and/or state partnership in business. when capital concentrares, it outcompetes labor, leading to unemployment. this is a sustauned disequilibrium.

File: 1751829847652.jpg (117.33 KB, 1080x675, James_Mill.jpg)

smithanon here. i just wanted to share some further classicism in marx, which you might find interesting:

marx speaks of an idea of "productive consumption" in the grundrisse (1857-58), whereby the syllogism of production is realised in its concept by the determinate negation of value's self-becoming. i just peeped james mill's "elements of political economy" (1821) and he seems to have originally described the idea, in more responsible language. in his own words:
<"productive consumption is itself a means; it is a means to production […] if one thing is destroyed, another is by that means produced." [elements, ch. 4, sct. 1]
we may compare this to marx's own writing:
<"Production as directly identical with consumption, and consumption as directly coincident with production, is termed by them productive consumption. This identity of production and consumption amounts to Spinoza’s thesis: determinatio est negatio" [grundrisse, introduction]
this completes the syllogism of production to marx:
<"production, distribution, exchange and consumption form a regular syllogism; production is the generality [universal], distribution and exchange the particularity, and consumption the singularity in which the whole is joined together." [grundrisse, introduction]
because the universal is able to connect to the singular by the mediated particular. this further relates to mill, for mill also discusses "unproductive consumption" (whereby consumption becomes an end in-itself), and so marx sees how unproductive consumption links to unproductive labour within its own notional chain of economic activity; extending adam smith's distinction between the two categories of labour (and thus of value), within the domain of spirit. this manner of analysis by marx also makes sense for why in capital vol. 1, he begins with the single commodity, to eventually rise into the generality of social production.
<"The truth is the whole. The whole, however, is merely the essential nature reaching its completeness through the process of its own development. Of the Absolute it must be said that it is essentially a result, that only at the end is it what it is in very truth; and just in that consists its nature, which is to be actual, subject, or self-becoming" [phenomenology, §20]

China is fasbol gang.

No, it is not "red fash".
No, this post isn't claiming it is anti-communist.
No, this thread is not a thorough academic analysis. It is a post to be thought about, not believed.

The Leninist strategy involves using and controlling the existing private economy in a proletariat-controlled transitional state as a means of social and economic reform, creating the conditions needed for a socialist state and hopefully then a communist society.

Whether China's existing economy is "capitalist" or "socialist" or some form of hybrid is a debated topic. It has historically had strong elements of a private economy, with state control of companies growing and now dominant. Many claim that the state is controlled by the proletariat and therefore the state property is public property, thereby making it a partly-socialist economy, or at the very least, departed from a primarily capitalist economy. But however you stand on this discussion, the point is that a capitalist economy has been subsumed by state control into something distinct, socialist or not.

This post asserts that this is not merely "modified capitalism as a pathway to communism", but more specifically "modified fascism as a pathway to communism". And it appears to be viable.

This post is specifically talking about classical Fascism in its original formation, prior to pressure from the squadrismo in 1921, and far prior to pressure from Nazi allies. If you don't understand how the petite-bourgeois militias influenced fascism, or think Nazism is fascist, or think that ᴉuᴉlossnW had any respect for Nazism whatsoever, then you don't have the necessary foundational knowledge to understand this post yet, come back to it after reading a Wikipedia page, at least.

This thesis relies on these core facts:

While I still don't believe that China is truly "fascist" in the sense that it had undergone the process of a developed capitalist economy undergoing crisis then the bourgeois using the full force of the state to solidify their position and crush an emergent proletarian revolution. The fact that the way it's economy is organized does at least superficially resemble the class collaborationist "corporatist" economies of entities like fascist Italy. Also looking at how the PRC has developed since the Cultural Revolution and the implementation of Reform and Opening Up under Deng Xiaoping you can't really argue the results once you put aside aversions to comparing it to fascist political economies or the desire to simply condemn the PRC and the CPC as revisionist social fascist/imperialist.

My brothers, my sisters. I come here today to bring you a message of solidarity, a call to action and a DEMAND for adherence to duty as members of the vanguard of a Proletarian resurgence and ultimately total Proletarian victory.


Out of the cities, out of the streets, poured the Proletarian hoard,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Thence the Proletariat came,
And removed the Capitalist forever, forever from this world.


Out of all Proletarian communities, only leftypol has the potential to bring us to victory. Through leftypol lies the salvation for our entire class – we can not fail. On leftypol we have broken the chains of Capitalist thought. We know not the meaning of the word “mine,” it is “ours,” — our class, the totality of our people.

Ten hearts, one beat. One hundred hearts, one beat. Ten thousand hearts, one beat. We are born to fight and to die and to continue the flow – the flow of our people.

So comrades, duty calls. The future is now. If a month from now, you have not yet fully committed yourself to the Revolution and the responsibilities thereof, then you have, in effect, not only betrayed your class, you have betrayed yourself. So stand up like men! and drive the enemy into the sea.

But now that Hitler has grown soft, I begin to lose the trust I had placed in the Axis to strangle and pull down the so-called British colossus, that is, the greatest exponent of capitalism. They are afraid of bringing down England, they are afraid because they know that with it, the whole capitalist system will collapse. […] I still hope that Hitler will not renounce the struggle, and will go all the way, to the extreme consequences.
<The great and authentic revolutionaries of the world are two: ᴉuᴉlossnW and Hitler. But ᴉuᴉlossnW's past shows that Il Duce has always been against the plutocracy and against the democracies, which paralyze the life of nations.

Moreover, I can say that on this I agree with Il Duce, when he says, as he did in his speech from last November, that if there is a man who desperately wanted the war, who first prepared it and then instigated it, it is the American president. From my point of view, however, I clarify that Roosevelt is nothing but the exponent of supercapitalism that aims at the conquest of a totalitarian imperialism.

Let me begin by saying that I’m a socialist myself, more specifically an anarcho-communist. That said, I always back to the same matter: the society we can create must be created within the constraints of human nature and material reality. The problem is, human nature is unknown. We do know humans have a tendency towards well-being, as most want socialist solutions to their problems. Yet if we judge humanity based on its history, it’s discouraging. The ongoing genocide in Gaza is an example of it. We must accept that under the right conditions, humans are capable of atrocities. Power relations seem to be intrinsic to humans, as it is a curse and self-preserving.

A socialist society can’t be rationally or scientifically justified. It is based on our desire for a better society. It is, then, a leap of faith. And there’s little reason to believe it’s possible besides our desire and pale observations

This is a more ethical question more than a philosophical one.
In a perfect world where we were to established the full dream of marxist, industrial singularity, post-scarcity, luxury for all..
(maybe almost in that fully automated luxury gay communism - nb)

For the sake of the argument, not the stereotypical dystopian depiction as everyone identical soulless beings:
What could it ever miss? What would be the only thing, if you'd please give the input, be lacking?

I find Zizek's perspective very satisfying in that: If we reach that perfect state as a whole, throughout the world, completely nullifying any chance to go back to the capitalistic world, no vulnerability left: He defers with all the automated machinization, he would for aesthetics and furthering the infinite progress, writing theory, creating, enjoying things near hedonistically out of endless comfort, ever-improving,
again, what would it miss to your thinking?
Honestly, the only thing that reaches me is having a strong moral compass for what we aught not do. I'm thinking of the game Bioshock here :D

Any and all input is appreciated, I need a perspective on this for my book.

First of all, communist society would last for about a thousand years at most (and most likely, for just a few centuries or even less) before human civilisation evolves into a posthuman one (obviously causing an extinction of homo sapiens in the process).

Interesting how the Russian liberal state is comfortable with honoring its Stalinist history but shy away or actively despises anything to do with Bolshevism or Lenin

Even from a nationalist stand point the victory of the Bolshevik revolution against practically the entire world's reaction (comparable only to France's) is infinitely more impressive than Russia's victory in WW2. But then again the Bolshevik revolution was a class war not a national/imperialist war, a bad precedent to set.

On the Final Victory of Socialism
in the U.S.S.R. -Stalin, 18 January 1938 - 12 February 1938:

Indeed, it would be ridiculous and stupid to close our eyes to the capitalist encirclement and to think that our external enemies, the fascists, for example, will not, if the opportunity arises, make an attempt at a military attack upon the U.S.S.R. Only blind braggarts or masked enemies who desire to lull the vigilance of our people can think like that.

No less ridiculous would it be to deny that in the event of the slightest success of military intervention, the interventionists would try to destroy the Soviet system in the districts they occupied and restore the bourgeois system.

Did not Denikin and Kolchak restore the bourgeois system in the districts they occupied? Are the fascists any better than Denikin or Kolchak?

Only blockheads or masked enemies who with their boastfulness want to conceal their hostility and are striving to demobilise the people, can deny the danger of military intervention and attempts at restoration as long as the capitalist encirclement exists.

Can the victory of Socialism in one country be regarded as final if this country is encircled by capitalism, and if it is not fully guaranteed against the danger of intervention and restoration?

>why do westies fetishize "the old bolsheviks" so much?
Idk it's pretty weird to kill everyone who participated in the revolution

>>2374068
Maybe he shouldn’t have sponsored terrorist attacks that killed Soviet workers

>>2374164
yeah literally everyone
like the whole apparatus
stalin just killed them all
this is how history works
you just kill people and then kill some more

<Freelance (sometimes spelled free-lance or free lance), freelancer, or freelance worker, are terms commonly used for a person who is self-employed and not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term. Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labor to clients; others work independently or use professional associations or websites to get work.

This is my question: are freelancers PETIT BOURGEOIS or not? if not, what are they? proletariat? and whats the distinction between a freelancer and a smol business owner with no employees?

Proletarian. Most of these >>2362534 are delivery people, seasonal workers etc., and even the "intellectual" ones largely have it worse than the average labor aristoKKKrat.

>>2373994
How the fuck are freelancers and seasonal workers supposed to organize?

>>2362512
precariat

read the section on piece-wages in capital vol 1.

>ummmmm do skilled workers who get to work on their own instead of engaging in proletarian association petit-bourgeois
lol what a fucking retarded thread

New Gamedev thread. This is thread is only for people who have deved something. Don't post in this thread if you're just an idea bro who has never deved anything in their life.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.

Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.

So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

This is true for 3d graphics, but you can absolutely write a good sprite-based 2d engine on top of something like SDL over a weekend. At that level of complexity the game design actually benefits from rolling your own and as opposed to nu-rpgmaker it is almost guaranteed to run smoothly on any toaster.

>Get the fuck out. You know you aren't meaningfully reinventing graphics trigonometry in any way.
No, but graphics can be so much clearer and better directed than Blurry UE5 TAA Upscaleslop. Somewhere along the way epic and unity lost their fucking minds on what looks good and we all have to suffer the endless torrent of samey indie games with their insane defaults.

You can always disable whatever feature of the engine you don't want. But thanks for bringing it to my attention. I haven't looked into that enough.

Relatedly, UE has this HORRIBLE motion blur enabled by default. It looks especially terrible in 3rd person where you're going to spin the camera around the character frequently. Literally the entire screen blurs up, and on top of that it makes the game lag like crazy. I always see rookie UE devs leaving it on but I think most pros have the good sense to turn that shit off. I think some games have it as a selectable option in the graphics settings.

I think the biggest thing we need is to STOP USING TEMPORAL EFFECTS. If you can't do it in one frame with current hardware wait for faster GPUs. Let's say you want crisp ray traced specular reflections. Should be simple right? The hardware has been out for like half a decade. In unreal you have to fight with lumen by setting a fistful of variables and you're bringing out the big iron for one effect that's trivial to design your renderer around if you were writing it from scratch

You don't have to use Lumen.
