GenAI - Capital's anti PMC NUKE

The pandemic really shifted the balance between capital and knowledge workers like engineers, consultants, marketers, and academics who don’t own capital but wield a lot of influence - the so called PMC.

During COVID, the PMC suddenly got way more autonomy. Remote work gave them freedom to work from anywhere, set their own hours, and basically ignore old-school workplace control. Plus, they used their cultural clout to push for """woke""" causes. On top of that, the great resignation gave them serious leverage to demand raises and better conditions.

From the capitalist perspective, this looked like the PMC getting a bit too big for their britches, acting like stakeholders instead of wage workers.

Now enter generative AI. This isn’t just some productivity tool, it's capital’s answer to reclaiming control. By automating complex knowledge work like writing, coding, and design, AI threatens to replace or deskill the very roles the PMC has dominated. It lets capital reassert power by commoditizing intellectual labor and cutting out the "middleman."

In short: generative AI is a disciplinary tool, a trump card capital is playing to discipline an uppity PMC and take back the reins.

It's Capital's final anti PMC NUKE (if it works, which isn't guaranteed)

Trans people and communism

I've noticed for a while now that trans people on average are much more likely to be communists or socialists. I've never really thought about it, but why could that be? I've had this image saved since early 2023 (when I started noticing this) and have seen a lot more trans communists since.
I mean, I guess it could be the hiring discrimination they face, but you don't need to change economic systems to introduce anti- discrimination legislation.

Is it actually possible to build relationships as a gay autist?

Queer culture is very casual and instinctive—"vibes-based", if you will—, which makes it near-impossible for those of us who are socially disabled to actually navigate its intricacies.
Every time I attend any sort of gay event, I basically just end up walking around and watching other people do things because I'm too stiff and weird to be a cool gay guy.
Despite the memes about queer people being autistic, all rhe other autists I meet IRL are all straight. And though they can be nice, I perceive the world through such a fundamentally homosexual lense that I can't possibly be close with them.
I don't know what to do. Forget a boyfriend, I just want gay friends.

"but what about X under communism"

do you not find that this question is kind misguided? for one, communism is only the phase of human development that comes from the proletarian dictatorship and only through it. it makes sense to talk about X under the proletarian dictatorship since that one grows out of capitalist society and production, and communism comes from the worker's dictatorship. so we can kinda sketch how X (if at all) would look under the proletarian dictatorship (as lenin does often). but talking about X under communism is retarded, because it assumes X exists under communism. here are some examples
>what about the state?
>what about the family?
>what about religion?
>what about morals?
>what about culture?
>what about muh treats?
etc.
any one of these questions can be answered how they would or would be reorganized under a dotp. but not under communism. marx really made a big mistake when he called it the communist and not the worker's manifesto tbh.

>Urgent Appeal: Stop the Judicial Coup in South Korea and Defend Democracy
<On May 1, 2025, South Korea’s Supreme Court issued a politically charged decision that overturned the acquittal of opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, the leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election, on charges of election law violation. Lee had endured intense repression under the administration of impeached former president Yoon Suk-yeol, having been subjected to investigation by over 200 government prosecutors, but despite countless allegations, these nearly non-stop investigations failed to result in a conviction. Now, with South Korea gearing up for a historic snap election on June 3, 2025 following Yoon’s ouster, authorities are once again attempting to convict Lee to remove him from the political playing field.

Vtuber General

ITT We discuss about our favorite Vtubers, corpo and indie alike. Liveposting, (Spoilered) Porn and Rateposting are all encouraged.

I'll start with my own recommendation:

Rie Himemiya from Phase Connect [EN] Gen 2 Phase Alias. A Vsinger with great covers and original songs such as Love Potion #520 and ゲテモノ (Bizarre Food) / Utsu-P ♡ to give you two examples.

Her streams as of now center around variety gaming such as her recent playthrough of Pokémon HG/SS as her first Pokémon game although she is mostly focused on Limbus Company and Library of Ruina as well as community projects like Date Ideas for Valentines season or making a love song out of Schizophrenic Maros.

However I do recommend her older VODs as well such as Sandtrix or Gayraoke for her humor and great chat interaction. If you want something more recent check out her 100 songs for 100k Christmas Special from last year. Remember to do your reps and backreading

March 15th, Belgrade Serbia

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

I'm from Poland. I noticed how much I want to make money from music and from jobs I make. But I'm also starting to notice how money breaks famillies down. I noticed how I'm becoming unhappy with being groomed to only pursue money, if no then they call me a "dirty commie".
Honestly why do I feel unhappy in the Capitalist system, but yet rivarly, money-making for the sake of making money, dog-eat-dog situation were so normalized to me. ANd I'm arguing against my mother and at times my father over the fact "I'm not able to make money".
If I'm not able to make money, I'm called "the welfare queen" and such, at least here in Poland and called someone akin to a s*bhuman.

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?

Let's criticize resource distribution in capitalist economies

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

Romance & Love thread

Figured I made a thread to share our romantic experiences – or lack of thereof, – opinions, wishes and advice. That is part of the whole LGBT experience besides the sex and gender.

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.

My communist father

Comrades, I have something to tell you. My father was always very political, criticizing capitalism. When I became interested in politics, he gave me his Spanish Republican flag and his Che Guevara beret. Yes, he always had and will always have Che's spirit. I'm writing this post as a kind of gift to my father.
Thank you, Father.

Elon Musk's Party

Will he be the one to break the Demopublican party's grasp on bourgeois elections and continue a new reign of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie or will he crumble as he pours his money into a failed campaign? Will he split the Right wing of capital? Was it dumb that he didn't just pour finances into the lolbert party instead?

I personally think the most important decisive factor is the image, he needs to make the party symbol a cowboy hat next to an Indian chief war bonnet. Considering how many people drool over symbolism.

Was the Christian genocide of European (and Middle Eastern too) pagans historically progressive? In pre-capitalist societies, centralisation of power is supposed to be always progressive, and highly organised, universaist religion like Christianity obviously is much more helpful for the centralisation of power. Besides, every single person I met who wanted to reconnect with European pagan legacy was turning out to be either New Age-brainrotten moron, either agressive Nazi-adjascent chud.

On the other hand… If we accept that the Christian genocide of the European pagans was good, then what prevents us from also having to accept that the Christian genocide of [Native] American pagans was good as well?

>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?

The biggest capitalist villain

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.

Investigation of Archeo-Capital

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.

25 years of 21st century leftism

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.

[…] I still hope that Hitler will not renounce the struggle, and will go all the way, to the extreme consequences.
<The great and authentic revolutionaries of the world are two: ᴉuᴉlossnW and Hitler. But ᴉuᴉlossnW's past shows that Il Duce has always been against the plutocracy and against the democracies, which paralyze the life of nations.
>Stalin, allying himself with London and Washington, has betrayed the cause of the proletariat. Moreover, I can say that on this I agree with Il Duce, when he says, as he did in his speech from last November, that if there is a man who desperately wanted the war, who first prepared it and then instigated it, it is the American president. From my point of view, however, I clarify that Roosevelt is nothing but the exponent of supercapitalism that aims at the conquest of a totalitarian imperialism.

Whaddafug, wholesome critical support to Hitler and ᴉuᴉlossnW????
