> they don't have time to deal with their demons.
There’s that, and it’s also because in more dangerous areas of the world PTSD symptoms like hyper vigilance might actually serve a purpose. The “post” in PTSD is there for a reason. Also, it’s weird that study asserts a hypothesis without taking into account all the other work on this topic already. Hobfoll’s conservation of resources theory does a pretty good job in explaining why rates of PTSD might vary depending on culture.

>>2379279
something like half of palestinian children report regular suicidal ideation based on a few studies. im not saying this PTSD study is intentionally misleading but i greatly suspect problems with methodology at least skewing the results and interpretation

>>2379455
Then why are you focusing on the race of the evicted vs evicters instead of the central problem of mass eviction by capitalists setting up a military base? By focusing on race exclusively you are elevating it above the central driver of capitalist imperialism. The ethnic cleansing here is a symptom not the disease itself.

>While exiled in 1899, Bauman had an affair with the wife of a fellow revolutionary who became pregnant with Bauman's child. Bauman responded by openly mocking her, and circulating a vicious cartoon of her as the Virgin Mary with a baby in her womb, with a caption asking "who the baby looked like". The woman later hanged herself.
>This story had gained wide currency among Russian political exiles by the time Bauman reappeared in Switzerland in 1902, after the escape from Kiev. Some of those involved in producing Iskra, including Lenin's closest friend and collaborator, Julius Martov and Pavel Axelrod, one of the founders of Russian Marxism, wanted Bauman expelled from the organisation. In 1903, the board of Iskra adjudicated the matter, and Lenin interceded on Bauman's behalf. According to biographer Robert Service, Lenin rejected the party's right to interfere, arguing that the party's task "was to make revolution against the Romanov monarchy and to vet the morality of comrades only when and in so far as their actions affected the implementation of the task". The subsequent controversy divided the party, and has been described as "one of the many personal clashes which came to define the ethical distinctions" between the Bolshevik and Menshevik factions after 1903.

Was it really worth it to split the party over this asshole?

Lenin was correct. If an asshole piece of shit is useful to the revolutionary party, that asshole's services must be used.
As Stalin said, they are not friends, they are not family, they are members of the vanguard of the working class.

>>2379465
That's the thing though. The guy wasn't even all that useful.

>>2379465
was it worth splitting the party over one guy? in retrospect we know it ultimately worked out for the bolsheviks but that doesnt mean this in particular was a sound decision

>>2379474
the split of Mensheviks and Bolsheviks was much more than Bauman. The Russian Social Democratic Party didn't split because of this.

Given everything that's come out during the Diddy trial, I find it highly suspicious that Clive Davis hasn't been mentioned once.

Clive Davis is arguably the most powerful man in the entertainment industry, moreso than Lucian Grainge and whomever runs Disney. He is 92 years old and an ultra-billionaire porky. Like Diddy, there have been rumors swarming for years that Davis is behind a lot of shady shit, namely running Epstein-like sex trafficking rings in the music industry since the 1970s. It is a known fact Davis was involved in one of the biggest payola scandals in the music industry in the 2000s. He is also known to commit tax fraud/evasion. Yet he hasn't been charged with anything. This can be explained by the suspicions Davis is a federal informant who's been working with the FBI for decades to get blackmail dirt on celebrities, identical to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Davis essentially buckbroke Diddy when Diddy first entered the music industry. Everything Diddy is currently charged with are things he learned from Davis. It gets deeper when you look at the trial. Diddy, like his mentor Davis, is also an alleged FBI informant. It's rumored Diddy orchestrated Tupac's murder (the feds wanted Pac dead because he was a Black communist breadpilling people through his rhymes) and almost certainly had something to do with Biggie's death as well. The prosecutor against Diddy is allegedly James Comey's daughter, Comney being the same prosecutor in the Epstein/Maxwell case. Given that the prosecution is currently floundering (they have yet to prove Diddy is a sex trafficker, only that he's a sexual pervert with a piss and cuckold fetish) one can easily see that this is allegedly a cover up of an alleged cover up: either Diddy walks free and everyone involved goes about doing their evil, or Diddy is found guilty and becomes the fall guy while the bigger villains (specifically Davis) go unchecked.

To put the cherry on the sundae: Clive Davis owns a school at NYU, the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Everyone who teaches there is getting paid by Clive; you can clearly see an overlap with the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

Davis is who the feds really want to get. They were pushing for RICO charges to get Diddy to flip on Davis.

>>2375590
Yeah but the feds are never going to charge Davis with anything given he’s 92 years old and has dementia.

The Trump DOJ has closed the Epstein case.

No way in hell they're going to go after Clive Davis.

Is the fact that the Scandinavian countries have some of the strictest immigration laws in the world a form of social murder?

I’m autistic, queer and chronically ill. I currently live in America and am petrified of being a victim of eugenics. The Trump administration has made it clear they do not want me or any of my other autistic comrades to exist. RFK will soon move forward in finding a way to eradicate autistics. Same thing with queer people. The big bill that was just passed also cuts Medicare, which is crucial to my survival.

Since I’m unable to work a real job or be politically active in the streets due to my autistic and disabled identities my best option would be taking refuge in one of the Scandinavian countries. I’m particularly drawn to Iceland and Finland. All Scandinavian countries have some of the best healthcare in the world. They have the best benefits and aid for disabled and chronically ill people in the world. Very mutual aid-based cultures. And they’re basically autistic utopias since Scandinavians don’t do small talk, are very quiet and reserved, and don’t look people in the eye when they talk. Their languages are also very direct and much less ambiguous. They’re also very solitary people. I know society is what disabled me so if I could move to a Scandinavian country my disabilities would no longer be a problem and I’d be free.

But Scandinavian countries have some the the tightest immigration restrictions in the world. They don’t allow refugees fleeing from wars in so of course they won’t allow autistic comrades fleeing eugenics in. I’m fucking livid about it. Moving to Iceland, Finland or any other Scandinavian country is my only hope and the only hope of millions of other autistics in America. We are literally on the verge of being exterminated and yet we still can’t take refuge in the only countries that can save us.

So does this count as social murder, as Engels says?

You wont get refugee status because america is considered "safe" country for some reason. You can try to work for 7 years without citizenship and then claim it but I doubt you can do that with all your disabilities. Maybe you should move to Canada instead?

>>2379383
More like, they didn't have the medical technology to save sick and disabled people.

Down Syndrome? You'd probably die as a newborn infant since heart surgery didn't exist.

Tetanus? You'd die painfully due to no vaccines.

Rabies? See above.

High needs autism? You'd probably die from seizures, or from running off away from the tribe, or by drowning from running into a lake or river.

The only reason we have so many disabled people around today is because of medical interventions and tech. Before modernity, most disabilities were a death sentence.

Nah, I think this "Epstein files" shit is performative and you're all being bamboozled. Whatever is there is likely not going to satisfy your curiosity anyways, it's a zero-risk promise for whatever politician promises to "release the files" (they won't). That's why people like Musk would rather talk about it rather than healthcare or lowering prices or something that might make people's lives better.

He's always been the antichrist for liberals (anarchists) because of On Authority and they willingly refuse to read (the tiny pamphlet) or understand the basic points it makes. That and he was generationally wealthy which is another clue of how ignorant they are, because they make the case is inherently evil because his dad is rich, which is ironic because they love Kropotkin who was also born a rich aristocrat. I've witnessed people, particularly redditors, going as far to outright lie and say Engels himself owned factories (not his father). I saw that on a libcom sub and seeing people choose to lie to defend the stupid ideology they chose for themselves always makes me pissed off. They're such nasty, dictatorial people.

>>2378925
In 20 years when he finally finishes On Authority he'll get back to you. It's almost 1400 words, that's a lot! It's basically a novel.

Or if he's smart he'll copy the take that he was wrong about some things in Origin of the Family, and as they all do, forget to mention that it was working off of what was considered established science in that time. Going back to Kropotkin, his book on mutual aid is also working off the same source material like Lewis H. Morgan's "Ancient Society"

>>1181
>if thats what the retarded op means by """immoral by leftist standards"""
Leftists have different moral standards than right wingers. Right wingers justify ruining the environment and fucking kids because of Christianity and shit.

Yes. All bourgeois degeneracies are bad. Investing, profiteering, prostitution, hoarding, idleness, theoretical hesitation and psychological weakness, artistic decadence and individualism, foreign dependency, imperialist thinking, usage or possession of capitalist intoxicants, lending, speculating, any hesitation in revolutionary violence, urban parasitism, any hesitation in the cessation of bourgeois degeneracies, or any participation of any degree of capitalism, etc.—whether by word, deed, or thought—are bad.

>>1182
Well issue is that leftists have a completely different relation to morality as a concept, and thus more varying morals and some–such as the egoists–that reject morality as a concept in favor of other frameworks.

In a society where homosexuality is frowned upon, the porkie gay has the means to easily have fun without consequences nor being noticed, the working gay man has to start a standard family for material reasons and has to hide his nature, while the petite bourgeoisie gay has more freedom to not hide and is the one that society will notice easily. Hence the association being drawn, sprinkle homophobia on people invested in class warfare, and you get those conclusions.

What's the board consensus on the manhua "The Reincarnated King of Fists"?
For those unaware, the manga is about a demon lord who wants to end the enslavement of non-human races, but fails, gets killed and regresses through time.

>In a world where humans enslave non-human species, the powerful wizard Leppenhardt creates an empire to safeguard these beings. However, his reign ends when he's defeated by the brutally strong Tesron, the "King of Fists." But death isn’t the end, because Leppenhardt awakens in Tesron's young body! Now armed with incredible strength and a new identity, he sets off to free the non-human races again. Can the new King of Fists reshape the world for all, or will his second chance slip away?

One of the most common downsides of leftist economic policy is wasteful spending. Indeed, bureaucracy isn't perfect, gets bloated easily, and goverment employees with no incenitive to do better would fare WORSE than an employee of a private company in the same situation.

That said, both capitalism and socialism are just ways to allocate resources and distribute rewards for producing them. There's a billion things to be said about socialism resorce wise, but what critiques do we have against capitalism?

Are we making too much of useless things while we could've been making something else? e.g sex work
Are we NOT making something we should and can make? e.g housing
Are we wasting something when we could've distributed it? e.g foreign aid

Pose the most egregious examples ITT.

End result is that there is more than enough agricultural capacity to feed the world, but due to the hideous inefficiency and gatekeeping, we have famines and malnutrition all over the world.

The neverending quest to rewrite vichan -

wait nevermind, the names would still be exposed in the federation process, i'm dumb. I guess every topic/board could be considered a user? I agree though. Also activitypub is just kind of bad in general. It's really nonspecific and everyone implements it so differently that the dream of cross-platform connection is very rarely reality.

>>27187
Am considering rewriting arsvia, my imageboard, in typescript (using Next.js and TypeORM) to expand my techstack.
Arsvia has user pages containing all their posts, and thought to run with that idea a little.
Namely adding a feature for sharing usernames either with specific people or making them public.
And more interestingly, to allow users to assign arbitrary nicknames to other users, and to post to user pages without a board.
Guess the user pages could reuse the moderation functionality so that users could manage their own pages.
Maybe with the Oath2 JWT authentication and try to figure out email verification too.

In short it would be something in between an imageboard and a microblogging platform.

>>30503
It has begun!

>>30504
Am thinking for this version instead of using the UUIDs directly I'm going to rewrite in the render such that it generates a sequential ordering by creation time followed by internal UUID. For threads there could then be an array perhaps with ranges or an epoch to avoid the ordering reusing numbers for the render (pretty ugly imo).
Further I'm going to use threads as namespaces like in textboard.org so that each thread starts from zero.
I'm also considering using the UUID primary key of the address log table to emulate accounts for anonymous users. This would mean that they could be federated if that was something of interest.
Could consider also using readable UUIDs like https://github.com/Debdut/uuid-readable though this is a little chaotic, but at least they wouldn't be like Ganymedean's from PKD's "The World Jones Made".

>>30505
Interesting. While working on the successor to >>>/siberia/679700 i settled on using a tai64n timestamp with 2 extra bytes of entropy (prepended to the start, so posts and threads can be distributed into buckets). This also means my thread files, which consist of lines of these IDs, have fixed-size records and can be atomatically added to using O_APPEND.

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…

HOI4 is the worst mod for cold war game, i despise games like cold war : iron curtain or TNO, or millenium dawn in mechanics.
Fuckers, if you want a geopolitical simulator or something port your shit mod to victoria 3, i am not playing a mod/game that severely restricts my roleplay perspectives for a visual novel that has absolutely incomplete content that will never get complete, for example cold war iron curtain not having content for half of nations.
Victoria 3 and 2 already exists!!!

>>43391
Victoria don't attract as much because of their gameplay, wished there were a fusion between victoria and Hoi4.

people seem to like the more visual nove aspect of nations in Hoi4, in victoria there is not much flavor difference between nations of the same development level.

Intuitively, we know that capital did not originate in humans.
There are a variety of theories of the origin of capital, but they fail to reach any meaningful conclusions, and that is because they do not take into account this fact which we know to be true. I want to make a proper investigation into the origin of capital with the premise that it is not a socioeconomic phenomenon, that it was not created by humans, and that we should be able to locate a physical trace of capital which precedes human contact.

This line of questioning encompasses many possible origins of capital which each take us down a new road, and I'd like to start probing them ITT.
For example: capital as a zoonotic virus. Does the arrival of capital in the human world coincide with human disturbance of a particular ecosystem, increased prevalence of husbandry of a particular animal, an unusual climate or weather pattern which might have resulted in sustained human interaction with a population of birds or insects etc.
Capitalism also correlates with genetic and epigenetic changes in humans. EG, when capital is introduced to humans, hypermethylation of the glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) occurs. It is possible that a change in the environment caused a human population to undergo an acute genetic change, and that Capitalism first arose from this epigenetic event.
These are the sort of things we should be looking for physical evidence of, something hidden in tree rings, sediment layers, deep ocean currents, microscopic images of meteor fragments; this study has erroneously been delegated to anthropologists, economists, sociologists, and I encourage professionals of any and all disciplines to pursue novel theories of the origin of capital, not bound by the premise of a human origin which common sense tells us is false.

But surely the reserve pool of labor is an extra-economic factor? Couldn't it be said that the marking of the unemployed for death, the creation of homo sacer, is the foundation of capital?

I suppose it follows that capital first originated in the first death from unemployment. I always felt that capital first started in Europe because of the cold and the snow. It's harder to leave people out to die in the warmer countries. In a way, capital is snow.

I would say a big thing is that the concessions made by the ruling class to organized labor (right to unionize, 8 hour day, weekends, social security, decent wages, in some places universal healthcare etc.) were only arrived at to prevent revolution. These "guarantees" are of course subject to deterioration when the ruling class believe organized labor to be sufficiently placated and/or repressed, along with the ruling class being concerned about their rate of profit being too low.
Even if you're not from the United States, I would highly recommend Mike Davis' Prisoners of the American Dream where he details the making and breaking of these "guarantees" from the 19th century to the 1980s.

Let's start by taking a quote from what the abolition of private property means from the communist manifesto:

<The distinguishing feature of Communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois property. But modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products, that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few.


<In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.


<We Communists have been reproached with the desire of abolishing the right of personally acquiring property as the fruit of a man’s own labour, which property is alleged to be the groundwork of all personal freedom, activity and independence.


<Hard-won, self-acquired, self-earned property! Do you mean the property of petty artisan and of the small peasant, a form of property that preceded the bourgeois form? There is no need to abolish that; the development of industry has to a great extent already destroyed it, and is still destroying it daily.


<Or do you mean the modern bourgeois private property?


<But does wage-labour create any property for the labourer? Not a bit. It creates capital, i.e., that kind of property which exploits wage-labour, and which cannot increase except upon condition of begetting a new supply of wage-labour for fresh exploitation. Property, in its present form, is based on the antagonism of capital and wage labour. Let us examine both sides of this antagonism.

Disagree. US and reactionaries in Afghanistan were attempting to spread an insurgency into the Soviet Union itself. Mujahideen were crossing into Central Asia to wage guerilla war and terrorism. Let that sink in, this was a war on Soviet borders for the first time since WW2. And the CIA was spending more money than ever into making it happen, and had the additional benefit of facilitating the spread of opium in Soviet territory.

What alternative do you see here? I think the response by the soviet government was totally justified.

Also was a close ally of Khruschev during his early years and is still, not even from an "anti-revisionist" perspective, a revisionist that failed to stop the decline that led to the USSR's collapse.

I remember about 20 years ago when Iraq was the big thing and people talked about how the USSR would never have allowed the Iraq War to happen. Would Brezhnev have allowed Libya and Syria to be taken over by Wahabbi "revolutionaries"? For that matter, would the US/Israel Clean Break project have even been a thing if the USSR were still around? Would the Soviet people have been fighting bloody wars in the Ukraine, Georgia, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Chechnya? Would fascists be in power in those countries. Would the break-up of Yugoslavia have been allowed to happen? I think we all know that answer to that question. Sure, he never lead a revolution or defeated Hitler but I believe he has secured his place among the greats. For that matter, I hope the "Dissidents" enjoy the blood money they got by destroying this.

It's 2025. We are now closer to 2050 than 2000. What has the left achieved this century? As far as I can tell the Western left has achieved nothing. Neoliberalism continues to get worse. It has successfully created a fake opposition on the right. You can call it populism, nativism, racism, MAGA et cetera, but it is really just a controlled opposition that does whatever capitalists want. In the East we see China. China has become the world's largest car manufacturer in the last five years. This change happened post-COVID and with heavy tariffs from the West. China has also lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty within its own borders and it has become the number one trading partner of most of the word's nations, including most American nations.

These developments concern me because the Western left won't quit. We won't admit ideological defeat, learn from China's facts, and progress towards a post-neoliberalism that is not fascist. Instead, we continue to indulge "non-hierarchical" fantasies that have failed completely. I think China has reeducated us and has taught us their approach is the most correct approach to post-capitalism. There isn't actually another correct way to do socialism, and the more time we waste the closer we come to American fascism and ecological collapse.
