There is no "AI" ya nincompoops. It's just dead labor feasting on living labor.
Marx called capital "dead labor" that feasts on "living labor" because capital is the result of past human labor that has been accumulated in the form of money, machinery, factories, and other means of production, no matter how "advanced" and "futuristic" those means of production get. Although these things were created by workers, they become instruments of capitalist power when privately owned and used to generate profit. In capitalism, workers must sell their labor power to survive, producing goods and services whose value exceeds the wages they receive. The capitalist takes this surplus value and reinvests it to accumulate even more capital. Thus, “dead labor” feeds on “living labor” because the wealth created by workers in the past becomes a force that controls and exploits workers in the present, continually expanding through their labor. For Marx, this expresses the central contradiction of capitalism: human labor creates wealth, yet that wealth confronts workers as an independent power that dominates them. Now take that basic Marxian principle and apply it to "AI."
There is no magic "AI." There is an emerging body of technologies built by human beings, trained on human-generated data, powered by enormous human-built computing infrastructure, and sustained by significant human-made investments of energy, water, hardware, labor, and capital (dead labor!). Calling these technologies “artificial intelligence” can obscure more than it explains. The term encourages us to imagine an independent, almost supernatural intelligence that exists apart from human knowledge and effort, when what we actually have are complex systems that identify patterns, generate predictions, and produce outputs based on statistical relationships learned from data. That data comes, directly or indirectly, from people: their writing, research, art, expertise, experience, and accumulated cultural knowledge. These systems do not emerge from a vacuum. They are built upon the intellectual labor of human civilization, and their capabilities are inseparable from the quality, diversity, and limitations of the material on which they were trained.
The quality of these systems depends on much more than the quantity of data they consume. It depends on whose knowledge is represented, whose experience is excluded, how accurately the material reflects reality, and how effectively the system has been trained to distinguish reliable information from error. A system trained on a broad mixture of knowledgeable experts, careful researchers, skilled practitioners, and diverse perspectives may be useful in many contexts. A system trained on incomplete, biased, outdated, or poorly vetted information may reproduce those weaknesses with remarkable confidence. Even high-quality training data does not guarantee high-quality answers in every situation. These technologies can make mistakes, fabricate details, miss context, and produce plausible explanations that are fundamentally wrong. They can be powerful tools, but their outputs still require judgment, verification, and often the very expertise that people are being told they no longer need.
The most dangerous misconception is the idea that this technology is a black box into which anyone can type a request and receive an infinite supply of high-quality work at virtually zero cost. The interface may look effortless, but the infrastructure behind it is not free, the resources required to operate it are not infinite, and the quality of its output is neither unlimited nor guaranteed. The apparent simplicity of asking a question conceals layers of human engineering, training, maintenance, evaluation, and physical infrastructure. More importantly, generating an answer is not the same as knowing whether the answer is correct, useful, ethical, or appropriate. A person who understands a field of expertise can use these tools to accelerate their work, identify possibilities, and explore unfamiliar territory. A person who lacks that understanding may have difficulty recognizing when the same tools have confidently led them astray. Expertise does not become irrelevant when technology advances; in many cases, it becomes more important because someone still has to evaluate what the technology produces.
This is why the growing narrative that young people should stop pursuing education, abandon difficult skills, or give up on developing expertise because "AI is going to take their jobs" is so socially destructive. It teaches people to surrender their agency at precisely the moment when they need to become more capable, adaptable, and intellectually independent. Education is not merely vocational training for a specific job that may or may not exist in twenty years. It teaches people how to reason, investigate, solve problems, communicate, recognize flawed arguments, understand complex systems, and make responsible decisions. Learning mathematics, engineering, medicine, history, writing, art, or a skilled trade develops capacities that cannot be reduced to the production of a finished document or the completion of an isolated task. If society persuades an entire generation that learning is pointless because a machine will do everything for them, it risks creating a population increasingly dependent on systems it does not understand and increasingly unable to challenge their mistakes.
There are also serious economic and social consequences to normalizing this message. If workers come to believe that their skills are destined to become worthless, they may be less inclined to invest in education, negotiate for better working conditions, or organize to ensure that technological gains are shared fairly. Employers may use the threat of automation to suppress wages, reduce staffing, intensify workloads, or justify replacing experienced workers before they have demonstrated that the technology can reliably perform the work. Educational institutions may feel pressured to prioritize immediate technological trends over the deeper development of human capabilities. And individuals who are already anxious about their economic future may experience greater insecurity, alienation, and hopelessness. These outcomes are not inevitable consequences of the technology itself; they are consequences of how societies choose to deploy it and how people are taught to understand their own future in relation to it.
We should be having a more serious conversation. The question is not whether these technologies can be useful; clearly, they can. The question is how to use them without confusing automation with understanding, statistical prediction with wisdom, or convenience with genuine competence. We should teach people how these systems work, where their limitations lie, how to verify their outputs, and how to combine their capabilities with human knowledge and judgment. We should encourage students to learn difficult things, not because technology will never change their professions, but because people who understand the underlying principles of their work are better positioned to adapt when it does. We should demand transparency about the resources these systems consume, the labor and data on which they depend, the economic interests driving their development, and the real-world consequences of their implementation.
Ultimately, the greatest risk may not be that machines become capable of doing more of the work that people once did. It may be that people are convinced they no longer need to understand the world, develop their abilities, or take responsibility for what happens within it. Human knowledge is not an obsolete input to be consumed by a machine and discarded. It is the foundation on which these technologies are built, the standard by which their outputs must be judged, and the resource society must continue to cultivate if it wants to use them wisely. We do not need to worship "AI," nor do we need to dismiss it. We need to demystify it. These are human-made technologies with real capabilities, real costs, and real limitations. Our future will depend less on whether we can make them produce more and more output, and more on whether we remain capable of understanding, evaluating, and directing what they produce.

Is there anything we can do to revive interest in communism, or is the real movement dead forever?
Is the Communist fandom dying?
Feels like there's a lot less people talking about communism these days. There's fewer people sharing communist memes on social media, and fewer people discussing their favorite communist countries and movements. And /leftypol/ is definitely slower than its peak in the late 2010s.Is there anything we can do to revive interest in communism, or is the real movement dead forever?

Genuinely, what is the psychology of guys who like both Nazi Germany and the USSR? I've encountered quite a few of them. Some are Westerners, while others are from the third world. from what I've seen most of them don't seem to have any real political beliefs beyond hating the US. Is that really all there is to it?

In 1956, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev denounced Joseph Stalin and Stalinism in the speech "On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences" and began the de-Stalinization of the USSR. Mao and the Chinese leadership were appalled as the PRC and the USSR progressively diverged in their interpretations and applications of Leninist theory. By 1961, their intractable ideological differences provoked the PRC's formal denunciation of Soviet communism as the work of "revisionist traitors" in the USSR.[1] The PRC also declared the Soviet Union social imperialist.[3] The Soviet Union, in turn, criticized Mao Zedong and China's practices during the subsequent Cultural Revolution. For Eastern Bloc countries, the Sino-Soviet split was a question of who would lead the revolution for world communism, and to whom (China or the USSR) the vanguard parties of the world would turn for political advice, financial aid, and military assistance.[4] In that vein, both countries competed for the leadership of world communism through the revolutionary parties native to the countries in their spheres of influence.[5] The conflict culminated after the Zhenbao Island border incident in 1969, after which the Soviet Union reportedly considered the possibility of launching a large-scale nuclear strike against China, and the Chinese leadership, including Mao, was evacuated from Beijing, before both sides eventually returned to diplomatic negotiations.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
In the Western world, the Sino-Soviet split transformed the bi-polar cold war into a tri-polar cold war. The rivalry facilitated Mao's realization of Sino-American rapprochement with the US president Richard Nixon's visit to China in 1972. In the West, the policies of triangular diplomacy and linkage emerged.[12] Like the Tito–Stalin split, the occurrence of the Sino-Soviet split also weakened the concept of monolithic communism, the Western perception that the communist nations were ideologically, and therefore politically, united.[13][14] However, the USSR and China both continued to cooperate with North Vietnam during the Vietnam War into the 1970s, despite rivalry elsewhere.[15] Historically, the Sino-Soviet split facilitated the Marxist–Leninist Realpolitik with which Mao established the tri-polar geopolitics (PRC–USA–USSR) of the late-period Cold War (1956–1991) to create an anti-Soviet front, which Maoists connected to the Three Worlds Theory.[3] According to Lüthi, there is "no documentary evidence that the Chinese or the Soviets thought about their relationship within a triangular framework during the period."[16]

SINO SOVIET SPLIT DISCUSSION THREAD. WHAT WENT WRONG??
The Sino-Soviet split was the gradual worsening of relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) during the Cold War. This was primarily caused by divergences that arose from their different interpretations and practical applications of Marxism–Leninism, as influenced by their respective geopolitics during the Cold War of 1947–1991.[1] In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Sino-Soviet debates about the interpretation of orthodox Marxism became specific disputes about the Soviet Union's policies of national de-Stalinization and international peaceful coexistence with the Western Bloc, which Chinese leader Mao Zedong decried as revisionism. Against that ideological background, China took a belligerent stance towards the Western world, and publicly rejected the Soviet Union's policy of peaceful coexistence between the Western Bloc and Eastern Bloc.[1] In addition, China resented the Soviet Union's growing ties with India due to factors such as the Sino-Indian border dispute, while the Soviet Union feared that Mao was unconcerned about the drastic consequences of nuclear warfare.[2]In 1956, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev denounced Joseph Stalin and Stalinism in the speech "On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences" and began the de-Stalinization of the USSR. Mao and the Chinese leadership were appalled as the PRC and the USSR progressively diverged in their interpretations and applications of Leninist theory.

Questions I'd like to make progress on:
* Is voting productive?
* Is voteposting productive?
* What memetic strategies are most effective for this issue?
Re. voteposting in the us
Every two years there is a new flood of "voteposting" (i.e. dunking on shitlibs who think voting is sufficient praxis by mockingly parroting dem messaging). I believe this was started by Clinton's "pokemon go to the polls," which was emblematic of the disconnect between the Democratic party and young leftists. Voteposting is, admittedly, very funny, but I worry that the message that voteposting gets across is that voting is useless. Unless I'm seriously mistaken, voting does seem to be a utility gain on average, even if the candidate we vote for only sucks marginally less than the other guy.Questions I'd like to make progress on:

France imposes curfews in parts of Paris, other cities after weekend of riots
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/frances-macron-declines-interior-ministers-offer-resign-2026-10-19/
>French authorities set curfews in parts of several cities on Monday, including Paris, Lille and Nice, as they faced pressure over security failings after a weekend of riots and looting stemming from nationwide anti-government protests.
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu had ruled out a blanket curfew in Paris but not a state of emergency, and had said it was more appropriate for now to apply partial and localised curfews.
>"My determination to restore order is absolute," he told reporters.
Paris police said they had issued orders barring protests in certain areas of the French capital from 8 p.m. (1800 GMT) and had issued a curfew around the Place de la Republique and Les Halles from 11:00 p.m. Both would remain in effect until 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
>"A police deployment is in place to ensure strict compliance with these measures," the police said in a statement.
>A source in Lecornu's office said a curfew for minors had been set between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. for the next two days in Lille, Douai, Wattignies and Denain with the agreement of the local mayors.

>Russia evil wants to destabilize poor South Korea
>Kim Jong Un secret good guy
>Russia destabilized Venezuela somehow?
Why don't Russia and China make games where you fight USA/NATO with cinematic campaigns?
I would love to play that.
Video games are the most efficient ways of delivering propaganda and you can tell just by how much controversy they generate and the youtube video essays rebuttals that come afterwards.
Only the west is taking advantage of this. Meanwhile China is trying to get on the west's good graces. Even Russia with its shitty philosophical Atomic Heart bullshit didn't cut it.
No. They must make Chinese COD where you do Black Ops shit like blow up Data Centers and Liberate an ICE facility, followed by a TNO The Fire Rises-style civil war missions. Trust me, American slop consumers would love that shit. I could write the campaign and in any decently run universe I would get an Oscar for it.
Anybody got any ideas how the anti-imperialist countries can make COD-like games?
Only based game developers out there are the ones that made Knights of Al-Aqsa.

Am I the only one worried that the right-wing is already taking advantage of the fact that the left has become a vacuum of intellect, and is now re-embracing intellectualism on its own terms?
I’ve seen multiple IG pages recently that talk about the literacy crisis in America; however, a good number of these pages/accounts are made by right-wingers/reactionaries. They use very blatant dogwhistles like “classical education”, “great books”, “virtue of the Ancients”, “glory of Western Civilization”, etc. etc. They talk about getting kids (read: they’re kids, the kids of right-wing elites) to study Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, etc., learn Latin and Ancient Greek at young ages, and pump their heads full of political philosophy. Yeah it’s indoctrination but still.
My assumption here is that the right-wing in America is trying to regroup and reorganize now that MAGA is clearly crashing and burning beyond repair. A lot of the rhetoric they use makes me think this stuff is coming from either the Heritage Foundation, Claremont Institute, or both.
But I think the deeper issue here is that the left has no way of effectively countering this, assuming this is true. Especially in the past five years or so the American left has almost entirely dismissed intellect and intellectualism in favour of appeals to emotion and petty in-fighting over covid masking, whose identity makes them the most marginalized, and whether or not going to the gym is “fascist”. Hell, someone just posted a screenshot from Reddit arguing that narcissists and psychopaths should be seen as “oppressed”. Why? What’s our antidote to the right when the right uses literacy and philosophy and such as a means of implementing fascism (or fascism-lite)? The American left seems to be taking the view that intellect is either 1. oppressive (because it inevitably creates a culture whereby smart people are upheld over stupid people) and/or 2. useless, because ethics are allegedly already embedded within human genetics and therefore all we need is intuition (Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid book is often invoked here). Why?
So what should we be doing in response?

Imma start by asking who’s the most Historically Progressive force in Westeros as of the latest book:
>King Stannis for being a developmentalist monarch trying to unify the Seven Kingdoms against the threat beyond the Wall?
>Daenerys Targaryen for trying to abolish the slavery mode of production in Essos, rebirthing magic in the world and holding the power of dragons against the Others?
>The Brotherhood Without Banners for engaging in Protracted Smallfolk War against the tyranny and brutal violence of Houses LARPister and Frey?
>The City of Bravos and the Iron Bank for being a blooming bourgeois republic in a world that's been stuck under slavery and feudalism for thousands of years?
>Yi Ti, who much like IRL China, is a very technologically advanced superpower who does nothing and still wins?

XI JINPING
Comrades and friends,
Today, we gather to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. We meet to reflect on the glorious journey our Party has traveled, to look ahead to the bright prospects for the cause of our Party and our people, and to rally all Party members and the Chinese people to march with confidence and courage toward the goal of building a great modern socialist country and realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
First, on behalf of our Party’s Central Committee, I would like to extend greetings to all members of our Party on this occasion. I also wish to warmly congratulate the recipients of the July 1 Medal, as well as the outstanding Party members, exemplary Party affairs workers, and advanced primary-level Party organizations from across the country being honored here today.
Comrades and friends,
One hundred and five years ago, out of the great awakening of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation and the close integration of Marxism-Leninism with the Chinese workers’ movement, the Communist Party of China was born. From that moment on, the Chinese people and the Chinese nation had in the Party a truly dependable anchor. The long-enfeebled and impoverished China, embattled by internal turmoil and foreign aggression, thus embarked on a historic and earthshaking transformation.
Over the past 105 years, our Party has remained true to its original aspiration and founding mission: to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. With a deep insight into the prevailing trends of global development and an accurate grasp of the principal challenges facing Chinese society in each historical period, it has united and led the Chinese people in pursuing tireless endeavor. Together, we have achieved great accomplishments in the new-democratic revolution; in socialist revolution and construction; in reform, opening up, and socialist modernization; and in socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era—writing the most magnificent chapter in the millennia-long history of the Chinese nation.
Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have fundamentally reshaped the future and destiny of the Chinese people. Our Party led the people through a great and surging struggle, toppling the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat-capitalism and founding the People’s Republic of China where the people become the masters of the country, thus finally bringing an end to the semi-colonial, semi-feudal history of old China. We achieved a historic transformation in living standards, rising from bare subsistence to moderate prosperity in general, and then to moderate prosperity in all respects. Today, the Chinese people hold their future firmly in their own hands, and with confidence, self-reliance, and strength, they are striding toward an even brighter tomorrow.
Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have carved out the right path toward national rejuvenation. Throughout the periods of revolution, construction, reform, and the new era, our Party has led the people through untold hardships, charting and following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In just a few decades, we have completed an industrialization process that took developed countries several centuries, and in doing so, we have achieved the two miracles of rapid economic growth and enduring social stability. Today, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is advancing with irresistible momentum, unfolding prospects brighter than ever before.
Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have demonstrated the immense vitality of Marxism. Our Party has consistently integrated the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and the best elements of its traditional culture, continuously adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. This has given rise to Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, enriching and developing Marxism in the process. Today, all the vigor and vitality of Chinese socialism stand as ample proof of Marxism’s scientific nature and objective truth, its people-centered and practical orientation, and its openness and capacity to advance with the times.
Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have profoundly influenced the course of world history. Always standing on the right side of history and on the side of human progress, our Party has, through its continuing efforts, profoundly reshaped the trajectory and landscape of global development. Today, by leading the people in advancing Chinese modernization, we have created a new form of human civilization and broadened the pathways by which developing countries can achieve modernization. By promoting the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, we are contributing Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and Chinese strength to resolving the major challenges facing humankind. Under the Party’s leadership, socialist China is recognized the world over as a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order.
Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have forged a strong Communist Party of China. Ever mindful of its nature and purpose as a Marxist party and the goals toward which it strives, our Party has carried forward its great founding spirit. Through every hardship, our will has been tempered; through every trial, we have emerged only stronger. Today, our Party is the world’s largest governing party, with significant influence on the global stage. Having the wholehearted endorsement and support of our people, it serves as the strong leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Without question, it has proved itself fully worthy of being called a great, glorious, and correct party.
Comrades and friends,
We owe all that we have achieved over the past 105 years to the tireless endeavor of the Chinese people, united and led by generation after generation of Chinese Communists. These Chinese Communists, with Comrades Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao as their chief representatives, have made tremendous and historic contributions to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. To them, we pay the highest tribute.
Let us take this moment to honor the memory of Comrades Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun, and other revolutionaries of the older generation, and the memory of Comrade Jiang Zemin. We honor as well the revolutionary martyrs and noble-minded patriots who gave their lives, or devoted their all, to national independence, the liberation of the people, the prosperity of the nation, and the happiness of the people. The monumental contributions they made to our country and our nation are engraved forever in the annals of history, and their lofty spirit will endure in the hearts of millions upon millions of our people.
The people are the creators of history; they are the true heroes. Here, on behalf of the Central Committee, I would like to pay our highest respects to people working diligently on every front across the nation, and to public figures from all sectors of society. I would like to extend our sincere greetings to our fellow countrymen and women in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, in Taiwan, and residing overseas. And I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to people and friends around the world who have shown friendship to the Chinese people and understanding and support for China’s endeavors in revolution, construction, and reform.
Comrades and friends,
Our Party has been able to achieve one glory after another over its 105-year journey and earn the recognition of history and the people, fundamentally because it possesses the following fine qualities unmatched by any other political party or force.
• A dedication to the pursuit of truth enables our Party to always advance in the right direction. Regarding Marxism as a powerful intellectual instrument for transforming both our subjective and objective worlds, our Party has remained committed to freeing the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, and taking a realistic and pragmatic approach. It has endeavored to reveal and apply the truth within the evolving contradictions of society, to test and develop that truth through practice, and to use new theories to guide new practice. This ensures that the cause of the Party and the people always advances in the right direction.
• Deep roots among the people enable our Party to always stand on solid ground. Based on the firm belief that this country is the people and the people are the country, our Party has committed itself to serving the public good and governing for the people. It has consciously fulfilled its fundamental purpose of wholeheartedly serving the people, standing firmly with the people, sharing their aspirations, and working alongside them. All this has created a strong and unshakable foundation for our Party.
• A determination to shoulder its historic mission enables our Party to always maintain the strategic initiative. Guided by the lofty ideal of communism and a firm commitment to achieving lasting greatness for the Chinese nation, our Party has carried upon its shoulders the heavy responsibilities entrusted to it by history and the people. Aligning long-term goals with objectives of each stage, it has defined its central tasks in response to changes in the principal challenge facing Chinese society, and it has formulated and implemented the correct line, principles, and policies to maintain leadership and initiative in advancing our development.
• A readiness to adapt to the trends of development enables our Party to always remain at the forefront of the times. With a keen sense of history and a broad global vision, our Party has maintained a clear grasp of China’s actual conditions and the defining themes of the times, proactively identifying, responding to, and steering changes. Forging ahead with determination and a pioneering spirit, it has ensured that all its undertakings advance with the times, conform to the objective laws of development, and are innovative in nature. In this way, it has steered the country and the nation forward in step with the logic of history and the trends of development, fully proving itself a pioneer of the times and the backbone of the nation.
• The courage and competence to carry on its fight enable our Party to always maintain firm confidence in victory. Bearing in mind the interests of the people, the country, and the nation as well as its ideals and convictions, our Party has fought bravely and forged ahead against all odds without fear of sacrifice. No matter how formidable the adversary, how treacherous the path, or how severe the challenge, it has remained undaunted and unyielding. With an iron will that no storm or difficulty can shake, it has inspired the people of the entire country to advance from one victory to the next.
• A commitment to self-strengthening enables our Party to always retain its vitality. Keenly aware that it takes a good blacksmith to forge good steel, our Party is committed to examining itself through the lens of the changing times, keeping itself alert through a strong awareness of potential dangers, and improving itself in a spirit of self-reform. We attach great importance to self-improvement and are determined to remove any elements that would harm the Party’s advanced nature and integrity and any viruses that would erode the Party’s health. It is through this revolutionary tempering that our Party has grown ever stronger.
These fine qualities hold the key to the success of the Communist Party of China. We must continue to develop and carry forward these qualities in line with new realities to ensure that the Party never changes its nature, its convictions, or its character and always maintains strong creativity, cohesion, and capability.
Comrades and friends,
Great accomplishments are built through aspiration and diligence. To fulfill the Party’s mission and tasks on the new journey in the new era, all Chinese Communists must stand firm in confidence and carry on our endeavor, continuously delivering new feats worthy of the times and the people.
• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must uphold the Party’s basic theory, basic line, and basic policy. These are major achievements secured through painstaking exploration by the Party and the people, and they serve as the fundamental guide for advancing the development of the Party and the country. On the journey ahead, the whole Party must maintain the resolve to keep to our path and uphold our convictions. We must uphold the Party’s overall leadership and the centralized, unified leadership of the Central Committee, thoroughly implement the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and remain confident in the path, theory, system, and culture of Chinese socialism. We must build on past achievements to advance our cause, and break new ground while upholding fundamental principles. With all this, our view will never be obscured by passing clouds, and we will brave the wind and waves without ever losing our bearings.
• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must rely closely on the people to make further achievements. Upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is a shared undertaking of the entire Party and the people across the country. On the journey ahead, the whole Party must work with renewed drive and resolve to rally the Chinese people and lead them in breaking new ground. We must ensure coordinated implementation of the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy, fully and faithfully apply the new development philosophy, and move faster to create a new pattern of development through solid progress in pursuing high-quality development. Acting on the people-centered development philosophy, we must promote whole-process people’s democracy and consolidate and strengthen the great unity of all ethnic groups, of all Chinese people, and of all sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. By unleashing the motivation, initiative, and creativity of more than one billion Chinese people, we will create a mighty force for advancing Chinese modernization.
• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must proactively address risks and challenges on the road ahead. China remains in a stage of development where strategic opportunities exist alongside risks and challenges, and uncertainties and unforeseen factors are on the rise. We must be prepared at all times to brave high winds, choppy waters, and even dangerous storms. On the journey ahead, the whole Party must heighten our awareness of potential dangers, keep in mind worst-case scenarios, and strengthen our readiness and competence to carry on our fight. We must better balance domestic and international imperatives, ensure both development and security, and build up our ability to rationally anticipate changes, promptly identify risks, and effectively address challenges. Through these efforts, we will ensure that the giant ship of national rejuvenation can navigate turbulent waters and continue sailing steadily forward.
• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must continue to promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity. With changes unseen in a century unfolding at an ever faster pace, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation. Humanity once again stands at a crossroads, facing a choice about which way to turn. On the journey ahead, we will follow the will of the people and the trend of the times. We will uphold peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit, champion the common values of all humanity, and work to foster a new type of international relations. We will act on the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilizations Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative to inject greater positive energy into world peace and development.
• To remain confident and carry on our endeavor, we must make unremitting efforts to promote full and rigorous Party self-governance, which remains an ongoing process. On the journey ahead, we must fully implement the thinking on Party development for the new era as well as the overall requirements for strengthening the Party in this era. We will focus on enhancing the Party’s capacity for long-term governance, preserving its advanced nature and integrity, and maintaining its close bond with the people. To this end, we will improve the system for exercising full and rigorous Party self-governance, strengthen the Party in all respects with reinforcing its political foundation as the overarching guide, and keep waging the tough, protracted, and all-out battle against corruption. We will further strengthen our Party’s capacity for political leadership, theoretical guidance, organizing the people, and inspiring society, so as to ensure that the Party always remains the strong leadership core in the historic endeavor to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
90 Years of the Long March
Speech at the Ceremony Marking the 105th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of ChinaXI JINPING
Comrades and friends,
Today, we gather to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. We meet to reflect on the glorious journey our Party has traveled, to look ahead to the bright prospects for the cause of our Party and our people, and to rally all Party members and the Chinese people to march with confidence and courage toward the goal of building a great modern socialist country and realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
First, on behalf of our Party’s Central Committee, I would like to extend greetings to all members of our Party on this occasion. I also wish to warmly congratulate the recipients of the July 1 Medal, as well as the outstanding Party members, exemplary Party affairs workers, and advanced primary-level Party organizations from across the country being honored here today.
Comrades and friends,
One hundred and five years ago, out of the great awakening of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation and the close integration of Marxism-Leninism with the Chinese workers’ movement, the Communist Party of China was born. From that moment on, the Chinese people and the Chinese nation had in the Party a truly dependable anchor. The long-enfeebled and impoverished China, embattled by internal turmoil and foreign aggression, thus embarked on a historic and earthshaking transformation.
Over the past 105 years, our Party has remained true to its original aspiration and founding mission: to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. With a deep insight into the prevailing trends of global development and an accurate grasp of the principal challenges facing Chinese society in each historical period, it has united and led the Chinese people in pursuing tireless endeavor. Together, we have achieved great accomplishments in the new-democratic revolution; in socialist revolution and construction; in reform, opening up, and socialist modernization; and in socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era—writing the most magnificent chapter in the millennia-long history of the Chinese nation.

We achieved a historic transformation in living standards, rising from bare subsistence to moderate prosperity in general, and then to moderate prosperity in all respects. Today, the Chinese people hold their future firmly in their own hands, and with confidence, self-reliance, and strength, they are striding toward an even brighter tomorrow.

Throughout the periods of revolution, construction, reform, and the new era, our Party has led the people through untold hardships, charting and following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In just a few decades, we have completed an industrialization process that took developed countries several centuries, and in doing so, we have achieved the two miracles of rapid economic growth and enduring social stability.

Through 105 years of tireless endeavor, we have profoundly influenced the course of world history. Always standing on the right side of history and on the side of human progress, our Party has, through its continuing efforts, profoundly reshaped the trajectory and landscape of global development. Today, by leading the people in advancing Chinese modernization, we have created a new form of human civilization and broadened the pathways by which developing countries can achieve modernization. By promoting the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, we are contributing Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and Chinese strength to resolving the major challenges facing humankind. Under the Party’s leadership, socialist China is recognized the world over as a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order.

Ever mindful of its nature and purpose as a Marxist party and the goals toward which it strives, our Party has carried forward its great founding spirit. Through every hardship, our will has been tempered; through every trial, we have emerged only stronger. Today, our Party is the world’s largest governing party, with significant influence on the global stage. Having the wholehearted endorsement and support of our people, it serves as the strong leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Without question, it has proved itself fully worthy of being called a great, glorious, and correct party.
Comrades and friends,
We owe all that we have achieved over the past 105 years to the tireless endeavor of the Chinese people, united and led by generation after generation of Chinese Communists. These Chinese Communists, with Comrades Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao as their chief representatives, have made tremendous and historic contributions to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. To them, we pay the highest tribute.
Let us take this moment to honor the memory of Comrades Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun, and other revolutionaries of the older generation, and the memory of Comrade Jiang Zemin. We honor as well the revolutionary martyrs and noble-minded patriots who gave their lives, or devoted their all, to national independence, the liberation of the people, the prosperity of the nation, and the happiness of the people. The monumental contributions they made to our country and our nation are engraved forever in the annals of history, and their lofty spirit will endure in the hearts of millions upon millions of our people.
The people are the creators of history; they are the true heroes. Here, on behalf of the Central Committee, I would like to pay our highest respects to people working diligently on every front across the nation, and to public figures from all sectors of society. I would like to extend our sincere greetings to our fellow countrymen and women in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, in Taiwan, and residing overseas. And I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to people and friends around the world who have shown friendship to the Chinese people and understanding and support for China’s endeavors in revolution, construction, and reform.

I reached mid 20s with barely any experience, autism made sure of that. Kissed a drunk lesbian once, I don't even think I looked that cute for a guy in his 20s, so I was honored more than anything. Broke up a friendship with a trans girl after some hasty choices, but she was crazy anyways. Now focusing on friends, making and deepening them.
Wish I had a man I understood and was understood by, someone light-hearted and whimsical to have fun with on the short time I have here on Earth. Femboy-ish ig, not masculine, but takes care of himself, with a touch of femininity to him. Impartial on sex, willing to do it, might be fun even.
One thing I like is the idea of relations as temporary, serial monogamy if you will. I'm all for loyalty while in a relation, but that doesn't necessarily mean it must be forever and ever. People change, why shouldn't their relations? Admittedly I do see the romance in a lifelong relation, sticking with someone and changing together with them. Besides looking for a new partner every x amount of years sounds exhausting.

How do i stop feeling like a creep?
How do i stop feeling like a chaser?
I love trans women but i also love cis women and guys and i genuinely see tgirls as real women. I consider support for the trans community an integral part of my political worldview yet every time i see one and think shes hot i always have that though go through my head and i feel disgusted by myself. This happens specially when i watch trans porn even though thats just one of the many types of porn i watch. It got to the point that if i ever met a transwoman in real life id be too scared to even look at her let alone talk to her for fear that i might come off as a chaser. I do have ocd which might play a part but it is not one of the main themes currently so i dont think its that aloneHow do i stop feeling like a creep?

Why don't Russia and China make games where you fight USA/NATO with cinematic campaigns?
I would love to play that.
Video games are the most efficient ways of delivering propaganda and you can tell just by how much controversy they generate and the youtube video essays rebuttals that come afterwards.
Only the west is taking advantage of this. Meanwhile China is trying to get on the west's good graces. Even Russia with its shitty philosophical Atomic Heart bullshit didn't cut it.
No. They must make Chinese COD where you do Black Ops shit like blow up Data Centers and Liberate an ICE facility, followed by a TNO The Fire Rises-style civil war missions. Trust me, American slop consumers would love that shit. I could write the campaign and in any decently run universe I would get an Oscar for it.
Anybody got any ideas how the anti-imperialist countries can make COD-like games?

He also hosted for the first time representatives of high school pupils, whose protests over conditions at their schools sparked the movement that has broadened into a nationwide show of anger against the government at the rising cost of living.

They also urged the international community to respond to the continuing military activity in the south. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) has documented 1,234 Israeli incursions into Syrian territory since the fall of the Al-Assad regime on 8 December 2024, including 130 between 1 and 23 October 2026.

Israel prepares full West Bank lockdown after Hebron shooting
Two Palestinians opened fire on Israeli troops at a checkpoint in northern Hebron early in the day. The Israeli army said two soldiers were killed and three others wounded. The two Palestinians were shot dead after a 20-minute exchange of fire. Israeli media said the men belonged to the same family in Hebron.

Police said the group approached the man, who was standing at the side of a road during a march through the streets of Durban’s city center, and assaulted him. Police did not immediately give the man’s nationality or details on what the march was related to. They said the victim was in his 30s or early 40s, and they were still trying to identify suspects in the attack.

Allegations of torture and abuse shadow a Fulani-led vigilante group despite its role in clamping down on kidnappers.
The group’s growing role in fighting kidnapping has also brought the organisation under scrutiny. While some residents credit its members with saving lives, others accuse them of serious abuses. One man says they held him for more than two months and beat him so badly that he lost consciousness. The two accounts reveal the uneasy place occupied by armed community vigilantes in a region where formal security forces have struggled to contain kidnapping and cattle rustling.

De la Espriella sacks interior minister after Congress bungles Colombia’s 2027 budget
The incoming interior minister is an ultra conservative Catholic with ties to the Society of St. Pius X, which considers the modernizing reforms of the Catholic Church heresies and errors, and was declared in a schism with the church in June. In Colombian politics and particularly among the opposition, Ordoñez is mainly remembered as the inspector general who illegally removed former President Gustavo Petro from his post as mayor of Bogota in 2013.

Police did not immediately give the man’s nationality or details on what the march was related to. They said the victim was in his 30s or early 40s, and they were still trying to identify suspects in the attack.

Allegations of torture and abuse shadow a Fulani-led vigilante group despite its role in clamping down on kidnappers.
The group’s growing role in fighting kidnapping has also brought the organisation under scrutiny. While some residents credit its members with saving lives, others accuse them of serious abuses. One man says they held him for more than two months and beat him so badly that he lost consciousness. The two accounts reveal the uneasy place occupied by armed community vigilantes in a region where formal security forces have struggled to contain kidnapping and cattle rustling.

The Mexican prosecutor who let CIA agents into Chihuahua fled in May and remains at large
Authorities have maintained that the CIA agents played no direct role in the dismantling of the drug laboratory targeted in the operation. But nor were they strangers to staff at the Chihuahua Attorney General’s Office then headed by César Jáuregui Moreno. In the preceding months, they had taken part in activities ranging from training and instruction to operational planning.

De la Espriella sacks interior minister after Congress bungles Colombia’s 2027 budget
The incoming interior minister is an ultra conservative Catholic with ties to the Society of St. Pius X, which considers the modernizing reforms of the Catholic Church heresies and errors, and was declared in a schism with the church in June. In Colombian politics and particularly among the opposition, Ordoñez is mainly remembered as the inspector general who illegally removed former President Gustavo Petro from his post as mayor of Bogota in 2013.

Former Ecuadorian left presidential candidate Luisa Gonzalez denounces ‘absurd’ arrest
Ms Gonzalez faces charges of irregular financing of her 2023 presidential campaign, which her supporters say are “lawfare” as the Donald Trump-aligned Daniel Noboa regime represses its political opponents.

Occuptions, student strikes, riotting, and arson don't overthrow the state only dual power (ex establishing parallel political Institutions) will make these amount to anything beyond a histotical footnote. The only form of dual power that exists is theoractial, and I will give credit to the students attempting to create assembies and trade unions also attempting so, but unless THEY ACTUALLY DO IT the protests will be a fail.
And if these fail the state will just have more of a justifcation to further its surveillance state and prevent anymore uprisings, this is why the USA looks pathetic right now its not because people aren't mad its because the bourgesis state kidnaps anyone who attempts them and aids reformist liberals.
TLDR no organization dual power = these protests will die out and stregthen the bourgesis state in the long-term.

I'm 29 and live with my 68yo mother in a 25m rented apartment. I also take care of three kittens. Both me and my mother have serious health issues that make it impossible for us to work. My mother receives disability benefits in Greece but I was assessed at 60%(you need 67%) and I don't get shit. Currently trying to appeal this.
Because of this, we live in extreme poverty. For more than half of this month we’ve basically been surviving on plain pasta with sauce.
I'm asking for a very small donation so we can finally order a couple of meals and eat something different for the next few days. Food in Greece is relatively cheap so only a small tip will suffice.
I understand people might be skeptical but I can provide proof about our living conditions and also post the food ordered. If someone is from Greece, they can order themselves for us if they want.
If anyone reads this and wants to help, it will be greatly appreciated.

This is just an extension of the altright diverting understandable rage against the current state of things but pinning all the blame on "le juice" and I fucking hate it. It's specially frustrating for me how many people with revolutionary potential fall for this trick.
Of course, zionism is a very big problem affecting not just Palestine but also other countries where Israel is doing colonialist extraction (it's happening a lot in Latin America) and most jews support Israel but reducing your worldview to simply "Israel bad joos bad" doesn't lead anywhere and as I said makes you ripe to become coopted by far-right retards. "Israel bad" becomes "Hitler good" way too fast way too often.
I'm pissed off that's all.

Fighting Delegitimization: The United Nation’s “Zionism Is Racism” Resolution, a Case Study
https://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/85th-anniversary/fighting-delegitimization-the-united-nations-zionism-is-racism-resolution-a-case-study
>On November 10, 1975, the UN General Assembly adopted G.A. Resolution 3379, which declared Zionism to be “a form of racism and racial discrimnation.” The resolution also cited the political declaration adopted at the Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Non-Aligned Countries held at Lima, Peru, on August 25–30, 1975, which had condemned Zionism “as a threat to world peace” and a “racist and imperialist ideology.”
>This resolution—most commonly referred to as the “Zionism is racism” resolution— came onto the scene against the backdrop of the Cold War. At that time, the United Nations was a forum in which countries often vied for the approval of, and were aligned with, one of the two great powers. Beginning in the 1960s, following the June 1967 Six-Day War, the Soviet Union began promoting the concept of “Zionism-equals-racism” as a way to strengthen its relations with, and support for, the Arab countries in their ongoing conflict with the State of Israel. The very essence of Zion- ism as the Jewish movement of national liberation and self-determination, which created the only democratic society in the Middle East where Jews and Arabs could live alongside one another, was deliberately distorted into its own antithesis. According to Israel’s enemies, which after 1967 included almost all of the Communist states and many of the so-called non-aligned countries, any manifestation of Jewish national rights was deemed hostile to Arab claims to the entirety of the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. Thus, anti-Zionism became a staple of foreign policy not just for Arab and Communist governments, but also for those countries that wanted to burnish their so-called “anti-imperialist” credentials. This process accelerated as Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country, began moving away from the Soviet sphere of influence in the Middle East. In 1973, the UN General Assembly passed an anti-apartheid resolution that condemned “the unholy alliance between Portuguese colonialism, South African racism, Zionism and Israeli imperialism.”

Fighting Delegitimization: The United Nation’s “Zionism Is Racism” Resolution, a Case Study
https://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/85th-anniversary/fighting-delegitimization-the-united-nations-zionism-is-racism-resolution-a-case-study
>On November 10, 1975, the UN General Assembly adopted G.A. Resolution 3379, which declared Zionism to be “a form of racism and racial discrimnation.” The resolution also cited the political declaration adopted at the Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Non-Aligned Countries held at Lima, Peru, on August 25–30, 1975, which had condemned Zionism “as a threat to world peace” and a “racist and imperialist ideology.”
>This resolution—most commonly referred to as the “Zionism is racism” resolution— came onto the scene against the backdrop of the Cold War. At that time, the United Nations was a forum in which countries often vied for the approval of, and were aligned with, one of the two great powers. Beginning in the 1960s, following the June 1967 Six-Day War, the Soviet Union began promoting the concept of “Zionism-equals-racism” as a way to strengthen its relations with, and support for, the Arab countries in their ongoing conflict with the State of Israel. The very essence of Zion- ism as the Jewish movement of national liberation and self-determination, which created the only democratic society in the Middle East where Jews and Arabs could live alongside one another, was deliberately distorted into its own antithesis. According to Israel’s enemies, which after 1967 included almost all of the Communist states and many of the so-called non-aligned countries, any manifestation of Jewish national rights was deemed hostile to Arab claims to the entirety of the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. Thus, anti-Zionism became a staple of foreign policy not just for Arab and Communist governments, but also for those countries that wanted to burnish their so-called “anti-imperialist” credentials. This process accelerated as Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country, began moving away from the Soviet sphere of influence in the Middle East. In 1973, the UN General Assembly passed an anti-apartheid resolution that condemned “the unholy alliance between Portuguese colonialism, South African racism, Zionism and Israeli imperialism.”

G - Vasily Gordov (Commander of the troops of the Volga Military District).
R - Chief of Staff, Major General Filipp Rybalchenko.
Recorded by the MGB (Ministry of State Security) in 1946, this conversation became the reason for the execution of both men. It was declassified in 1991.
R. – The winter crops are lost, of course. Stalin passed through here, did he really not look out the window? Everyone is so dissatisfied with life; they speak about it completely openly, on trains, everywhere, they just speak outright.
G. – Eh! Nowadays everything is built on bribes and sycophancy. And they sidelined me in a flash because I refused to engage in bootlicking.
R. – Yes, everything is built on bribes. And look at what is happening all around: incredible hunger, everyone is dissatisfied. "Newspapers are nothing but lies" — that's what everybody is saying. They’ve installed so many ministers, bloated the bureaucracy. Just like in the old days — a priest, a constable, a village elder, 77 people sitting on the back of every peasant — it’s exactly the same now! And now the empty chatter about elections has started up again.
G. – Where are you going to vote?
R. – I'm not going to fucking vote. I'm not going anywhere. Such a situation can only exist in our country; only here can people be treated this way. Abroad, they treat the unemployed better than they treat generals here!
G. – In the past, one man ruled [referring to the Tsar], and we had everything. Now there are so many ministers, and it’s of no use whatsoever.
R. – We lack the bare necessities. We've literally become beggars. Only the government lives well, while the broad masses are living in poverty. I’m just amazed — does Stalin really not see how people are living?
….
R. – They think that once Stalin is gone, the kolkhozes [collective farms] will be gone too…

What's your take on the coming elections in the demon colony?
I hope that Netanyahu and the extreme right win, it will tarnish Israel's reputation even further + they are very incompetent. If the "moderate" liberal Zionists win it's fucking over. They will present themselves as more sane but will continue dispossessing Palestinians under a nice guy mask.
Basically I see Netanyahu as the Shabtai Tzvi of Zionism.

1 in 3 incels have already dropped out of the workforce. Right wingers were spamming Self Improvement content everywhere for years in a desperate attempt to keep incels in the workforce. Shifting the blame on the individual while the problem is societal. Gym memberships, protein supplements, books and courses, were all a gimmick. A false hope selling industry, making a profit out of young men's misery.
Today, the looksmaxxing culture is just the new rebrand of the Self Improvement industry. Same fraud, different name. And right wingers are behind the spam.
Truth is societal problems CANNOT be fixed with atomic solutions. This is insanity, it's like trying to repair your house during an earthquake. Even if everyone became a male model tomorrow women would still chase 20% of the best men. You cannot outcompete billions.
There's only one solution and both left wingers and right wingers tremble before hearing it but its the truth. State mandated relationships. Ban dating apps who give women infinite options and milk men out of money and start regulating the dating market.
Use AI to match people and ban serial dating and break ups without a serious justification. Until then, the West will only keep getting worse and more men will drop out of school and the workforce
The West CANNOT survive if it doesn't solve the incel crisis

Transexuality was first coined by pioneering german endocrinologist Johann Transsexualismus who used the term to describe the patients he most enjoyed shocking with a cattle prod (known at the time as an ëndoschtuk). His experiments helped pave the way for the modern field of endocrinology. Isn't queer history so inspiring 😁

Do you get massive changes and is it better or worse after? Does the way you feel and express your emotions change?
What is the difference in sex drives?
For those who took treatments to transition in either direction, how did the following change? What differences did you notice?- Sex drive
- Desire
- Emotions, feelings, intensity
- Mood and concentration

obviously pre-2016-fed/pol/ era, if you're a tran browsing IBs you're or should obviously be old enough to remember life before the rise of "beta" and "incel" culture in 4chan, where the absurd became nihilism and then it came the grooming;
it's not a conspiracy, the "glowie" meme became a thing thanks to the known fact of federal agents browsing these sites, but back on topic:
I don't usually do this but;
>TW:
<Brainworms
<Depression
<Slurs(?)
think Bailey Jay, tranchan and "trap aesthetics" guides, faproulette?
at least for me it was an important part of my self-discovery as a depressed teen isolated and with no education on what even trans people, spending time between IBs only interacting with terminally online incels at the peak of my delayed puberty
Giving up and taking my first steps in gender exploration i realized i had to make a choice between "malebrained" nihilist spaces and actually transitioning, fast forward to the present i'm here, brainworms and a shaky early transition due to contact with transmedicalists overlapping with Blanchardism makes me stick to /tttt/ culture
and here's where i make a pause to make a critique of "transmedicalism" not as a method but as a cope starved for validation
I once got kicked for "comparing it to nazism" while making the comparison to how quoting Evola doesn't make you a nazi/fascist, but puts you in a place where you're at least adjacent to nazi/fascist ideas.
now let's think the two sides of terminally online trans spaces: trans hugboxes and trans brainworm nests
they're different enough in "vibe" and yet they both represent a terminally online space where both positive and negative feedbacks of self-affirming dogmas and paranoias.
As a result of this i struggle constantly with the concept of Autogynephilia to a point where it affects my bf;
as an outsider he doesn't understand it, but he has an aversion to the concept and a desire to understand it as he wishes to understand me.
I've infected a cis person with brainworms.
I have to tell him it's not real but he says there seems to be a degree of credibility to it. it hurts me, and even without that second opinion the fact that Blanchardism has been co-opted by trans spaces, in fact the mere fact the AGP typology is still part of the DSM-V is hurtful even if i recognize psychology under capitalism seeks to colonize such conditions; in order to explain it to a group of scholars who clearly have no interest in the wellbeing of the people they pathologize.
How do we break this cycle?
we have the Thesis; a pathology that makes trans women in particular (for some reason) dwell in a cycle of self hate which innevitably overlaps with the same nihilistic worldview that degenerated IBs into what they are today
and on the other side the Anti-thesis; the hugbox where you won't hear any of this, their sisters are falling apart and their reaction is "fuck them, they're rude and their negativity makes me sad, best of luck but fuck you", liberalism in it's maximum expression, *every woman by herself.* if i pump the music higher i won't hear their screams.
what would be the next step to break this cycle? do we engage? do we appropriate? how would you organize this purposefully balkanized community?

Mamdani was elected specifically to fight against the Zionist Lobby and yet he’s show MULTIPLE TIMES he’s a full-blown Zio himself. He sells out to Jewish feelings over Palestinian resistance every time he can. He quotes the satanic Talmud which calls for Jews to enslave and oppress “goyim” in order to appease Zionists. Then he has the NYPD arrest hundreds of anti-Zionist protesters. Now he attends a “memorial” lead by an “Israeli” hasbara group to memorialize 1200 Zionist settlers killed during the greatest act of anti-colonial resistance in modern history. If Ziohran was truly principled he would have unequivocally stated that “Israelis” have no right to life given that every single one serves in the army and that Hamas and the PFLP have a right to resist.
Fuck this man.

The Worldwide Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR (All the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are shown in the Map I posted) will flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, with all Women forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing are banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. The Worldwide flattening of the Reactionary Gender Binary will ironically cause a noticeable Global decline in Transgenders (less Men will desire to become Women once the Aesthetics of Bourgeois Femininity such as Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick, are banned for Women) in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes will still be Free and Legal to anyone who wants one, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️ 💇♀️👩🦲!
Additionally, any Woman who keeps her Hair longer then a Pixie cut (a Very Short Bob cut “might” be tolerated only if it is not a millimeter longer then the Chin, but I could change my mind on this very quickly, so it would be strongly advised that all Women keep their Hair no longer then a Pixie cut), wears a Dress/Skirt, or uses Makeup/Lipstick, will have her Head completely Shaved by the Female (mostly Lesbian) International Red Guards, who will march her through the streets wearing a Dunce Cap, force her to attend Struggle Sessions, and put her in a Re-Education Camp, where she will be taught how to become a Liberated Socialist Woman and embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️ 💇♀️👩🦲!
When a Woman gets her Hair Chopped/Shaved off She is symbolically breaking the Chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that Long Hair on Women symbolizes in the Patriarchal Superstructure of the modern Capitalist and historical Feudal Modes of Production (then it would have been called Aristocratic Femininity), thus meaning that Forcing Women to have extremely Short Hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), along with banning Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick and making everyone wear Mandatory Mao suits is the only way to Flatten the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary and create Liberated Socialist Women, as Mao said “The times have changed, Men and Women are the same”, and the only way to create a Superstructure of Gender equality that reinforces the Socialist Mode of Production is to purge the Superstructure of all vestiges of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that symbolize Patriarchal Female Subjugation and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary (ie. Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick), and before people say “why not force Men to look like Women”, the reason why the Liberated Socialist Woman must have the aesthetics of Proletarian Masculinity (ie. extremely Short Hair, wearing Mao Suits instead of Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick, etc.) is because the Aesthetics of Proletarian Masculinity symbolize Strength, Independence/Autonomy, and being a Liberated “Subject”, while the Aesthetics of Bourgeois “Femininity” symbolize Weakness, Dependence, and being an Oppressed “Object”, so a Liberated Socialist Women must have Aesthetics that symbolize Strength, Independence/Autonomy, and being a Liberated “Subject”, in a Socialist Superstructure of total Gender Equality resulting from the Flattening of the Reactionary Gender Binary and the destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️ 💇♀️👩🦲!

Back in the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube days there was a Godfather game where you played as a random henchman, and it inserted you in all the iconic scenes from the movie, doing missions for the Corleones and so forth. I'd love a game revolving around the October Revolution where you're just some random Bolshevik functionary, taking missions from Lenin, Sverdlov, Trotsky, Stalin, and so on. Maybe you even get to be in the basement when the royal family gets shot. That would be cool. And the gameplay could have a similar feel to RDR2 with the horses, guns, trains, and so on.

Basically it becomes more and more retarded until you end up
>What about captain america?
>And captain america not fighting Thanos in my MCU?!
>communism and money can not exist!
That was always a incredibly retarded argument and I do not understand how the viewers of this trash are not dying of cringe.
Did people make debunking of this """"logic"""" because the video is pure insanity. The truth is that there is no such thing as central planning.
>Herp derp how do we produce things? How many of them?!
How does the factory do it now?
This is something this video never answers it only says
>People do whatever they want today this is capitalism
Absurdist and ridiculous.
However austrian loons will throw around literally religious phrases
<They are measuring the market signals
By the magic powers the oracle has presumably.
<The market decides!
Like there is some god entity the clergy talks to on this subject and this god is named the market.
And pretend like their insanity makes any sense whatsoever.
However instead of asking where this self contradictory god named the market lives or who exactly is talking to him (questions who will never be answered by Austrian cultists) the video ditches the religious nonsense of the Austrian cult and tries an atheistic version of this argument.
I mean this is a simple question if you are 18 or about to start to think(and never worked in any production job whatsoever; student/NEET) about how to organize things however the solution is very simple an this is true of everyone even magical capitalist will fail this.
If you throw people on some isolated island and tell them to figure things out everything will devolve into chaos this is regardless of anything involved. And no
>Letting people decide their own things
Will result in total disaster very fast. The scenario is not even coherent it does not even say if this is some isolated island or the walking dead universe or what.
Presumably there is internet and it has power since people are submitting things there and presumably there are farms and factories and transportation and it was not destroyed.
However after a communist revolution with all of this in place(not isolated island not the walking dead universe) the solution is simple, just do it like it was always done. The video makes only sense if you are trying to come up with some alternative to money, however lets keep money and do the same thing. I mean there is no controversial question of
>HoW MuTcH Is tHeRe To PrOdUcE?!
Because this is handled by orders who did come by the client firms and they did come long before today since most businesses can have year long contracts that are not even fully realized yet.
This is something you realize if you ever worked in your life and not are a NEET or Student or only produce youtube videos for a living!
>What if people order to mutch?!
1) You are dealing with bosses or firms who are serious and not insane. You can replace capitalist boss with Combine Manager if you like.
2) Normally they order the same things like 50K units every day with some fluctuation for seasonal events so +10% -20% fluctuation
3) If the client orders something out of the ordinary like lets say 100Bilion units you seriously ask them if they can fulfill this obligation or if this is a mistake. I presume a boss would reject a order like that and either phone back or simply give them their standard unit of 50K if they can not talk to them and are getting some deranged e-mails and no one saying anything.
4) If they can not pay their obligation they get sued.
5) A factory has a maximal output capacity so if you have 10 clients who all take 50K units (500K per day) your max output is about 600K of the factory or presumably 700K if you really try to do overtime and speed some things up. So a ridiculous order like 100Billion will get rejected since that means you need to break obligations with other clients.
Seriously this is something you can figure out if you ever worked in a factory or even in any business! I have no idea how people who have a job do not realize this cringe shit arguments for absolute bullshit. I seriously think the only people who repeat this are Students(legal NEETS), NEETS who did not work a day in their life and people who do some bullshit like make youtube videos for a living.
6) The final part of this is some fidgeting with the number if you have a order for 50K units you will make something like 51K or 52K units because sometimes the machine fucks up and shredded the product or some parts come out defective and need to be thrown out.
There is also some guess work like
>(ice cream) Last year this season(winter) we needed to make only 10K units a day so it will probably be the same.
7) Now one can ask where these numbers come from? They come from the previous years and previous records of orders and production. Something the capitalist boss keeps. In a communist revolution scenario these records can be taken or people who work there can remember things if the capitalist decides to burn or destroy these records.
8) Another idea is that the video insists on creating some kind of economic dictator who decides everything. Now if taken as a serious argument and not some exercise for students or people who start thinking about the economy that is silly. Because in the military you do not have 1 guy who decides everything. There is no magic dictator who orders every foot moved of every soldier at what time
<Epic debunking of the army everyone!
<How can 1 guy decide what position of every finger ever soldier must have?!
<Ha no one can do that!
<IMPOSSIBLE! GENERALS DEBUNKED!
A general gives orders to lower-ranking officers (Lieutenants) who give orders to people under them and a general does not micro manage every movement of every private there is a chain of command and the general will order a Battalions to move to a position at a given time and this is the responsibility of the people under him to do it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_hierarchy
https://www.army.mil/ranks/
So after a communist revolution things can get ruff because some capitalists can decide to destroy their records(far more easy on the computer then on paper) of these things however things will iron themselves out eventually.
I also do not want people to go to the traditional
>and some people are better at making pants! Capitalism YES!
And go to the the insulting with
<And then there is the capitalist boss who is the best at TAKING money so he takes the most! Capitalism YES!
Because this avoids the silly student question and concentrates on the capitalists as parasites.

i was dealing with a recent hire who was like this, and one day i noticed that she was burning through rolls of paper towels at several times the rate of any other worker wadding up huge balls of paper towels and wiping stuff down and throwing it away and grabbing another, so i kind of pulled her aside so as not to embarrass her and explained to her how to take one paper towel and fold it twice to make four surfaces and use one surface until it gets dirty, then use another, etc. she became indignant and said "sweetie, i've been cleaning up after four kids for 20 years i know how to use a paper towel." i told her, "first of all, i'm trying to help you, i'm trying to show you how to do the job right, i'm trying to make your job easier. second, this is work, this isn't your house, and you are a brand new employee here. don't talk to me or anyone else here that way. don't call me 'sweetie' and don't get an attitude with me. you do it again, you're gone. do you understand?" she started crying. she cried about it for the rest of the day and then the next day she never showed up for work, no call no show. someone had to come in and pull a double to cover for her. and i didn't even get a chance to confront her about all the other shit she was doing wrong.
i felt guilty about it, which makes me even more annoyed when i really think about it because i shouldn't feel guilty just for expecting a perfectly healthy able-bodied adult to listen and follow basic directions and not behave like an entitled spoiled brat at work. i understand that your hero donald trump betrayed you and destroyed the economy and your security and i understand how humiliating it must feel to be a suburban middle-class retiree for years and then suddenly be reduced to the lowly task of wiping down tables and ringing up customers, but you know what? too bad.
middle-class retirees re-entering the workforce
they're like the worst employees you could ever imagine, worse than any apathetic stoned teenager because at least the teenager doesn't have delusions of seniority or experience or a complete inability to accept criticism or admit to making a mistake, at least they can be trained. but the boomers and karens are unreformable, they complain and exude indignation and misery out of every orifice and destroy employee morale, they do things the wrong way and they get belligerent and defensive when you try to show them how to do them the right way, they get irritated with busy shifts and lines and impatient customers and they show their irritation very publicly, they gossip about co-workers and discuss politics and religion and create drama, they speak condescendingly to co-workers and customers and even managers, it's unbelievable. it's like a paroled convict who was in prison for decades and has no idea how to re-enter normal society. and when you are forced to finally reprimand them, they have a fucking emotional breakdown.i was dealing with a recent hire who was like this, and one day i noticed that she was burning through rolls of paper towels at several times the rate of any other worker wadding up huge balls of paper towels and wiping stuff down and throwing it away and grabbing another, so i kind of pulled her aside so as not to embarrass her and explained to her how to take one paper towel and fold it twice to make four surfaces and use one surface until it gets dirty, then use another, etc. she became indignant and said "sweetie, i've been cleaning up after four kids for 20 years i know how to use a paper towel." i told her, "first of all, i'm trying to help you, i'm trying to show you how to do the job right, i'm trying to make your job easier. second, this is work, this isn't your house, and you are a brand new employee here. don't talk to me or anyone else here that way. don't call me 'sweetie' and don't get an attitude with me. you do it again, you're gone. do you understand?" she started crying. she cried about it for the rest of the day and then the next day she never showed up for work, no call no show. someone had to come in and pull a double to cover for her. and i didn't even get a chance to confront her about all the other shit she was doing wrong.

Khartoum airport under drone fire as safety concerns mount
Five successive waves of drone attacks attributed to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have struck Khartoum, including areas around the capital’s international airport, killing a man and four children and raising fresh concerns over aviation safety. The attacks targeted seven locations across the city, according to Radio Dabanga. Air defences reportedly intercepted threats directed at the airport and its facilities, while a drone fell in an unoccupied area east of the runway, with no casualties reported at the site.
