Today is the anniversary of the Entebbe Airport Operation in which the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Revolutionary Cells (Germany) killed Yonatan Netanyahu, brother of Benjamin Netanyahu. This brave undertaking, despite its failure, was made possible by General Idi Amin Dada's staunch pro-Palestine, anti-Zionist, and anti-imperialist stance. Though he was only in power a few years, it's clear that Idi Amin could have been another Ghaddafi had he not been ousted from power. I highly recommend the documentary Général Idi Amin Dada: Autoportrait for more details. His proposals for African sovereignty and self-reliance were so radical that it scared the shit out of the neighboring comprador countries. Amin came to power ousting British puppet Milton Obote, and it was none other than Obote the coalition put back in power after Amin's ouster. Julius Nyerere, the self-proclaimed socialist president of Tanzania, led the charge against Amin, only to sell out against socialism in the 1980s. I also recommend following Amin's son, Mr. Lumumba Amin, for more truth nukes on his dad, and some daily denunciations of the Zionist entity: https://www.facebook.com/HusseinLumumbaAmin

Given what's happening in Gaza, maybe the General had a point.

Amin himself was a British puppet who only really went against the Israelis because they wouldn't sell some jets or something. I guess at least he became committed to Palestinian liberation but his support wasn't really much of a positive and probably harmed the movement

Watermelon has become a symbol for palestine, so it's likely either representative of a palestinian child about to get bombed, or of Israel consuming Gaza/Palestine.

I took a nap and had a dream that Brace and Liz from True Anon were hanging out in my basement. I think they were redecorating it. Anyways, I tried to riff with them like on the pod but only got through one joke before Brace gave me the most disappointed, disgusted, hostile look so I excused myself and quickly left. The basement belongs to them now.

I feel labor vouchers restrict my choices on what I can get. For example, what if I have to choose between 2 items but I want both, such as food ingredients? What would happen to digital goods? I would expect all videogames and cinema to become public (free). But what if I can only get 1 videogame per month? How would this work?

Since game devs and artists in generals have their needs met, I suppose most content would be freely available? Similar to mods in videogames.

Also this voucher would have to be rather plentiful. What if I want to travel to another city, stay at a hotel a few nights, eat out, etc? This labor voucher sounds rather magical.

I prefer the anarchist-communism described by Kropotkin: labor is based on needs and free association, and access to good and services is based on the willing work of the people. So instead of a voucher, you live according to what people around you produce, with both its prosperity and limitations

Labor vouchers are a temporary measure. It wouldn't even apply to all products. A communist society would rapidly move towards abolishing exchange right from the start. Vouchers only exist in this transitional phase for those areas where exchange isn't abolished yet.

>Its a really shitty idea but classical economists couldn't understand this
classical economists didnt propose the notion of labor vouchers. they began from the ideas of the early communists josiah warren and robert owen, as a way to quantify exchange in an ethical manner. marx later suggests labor "certificates" as a medium of exchange in a future cooperative society during the first phases of communism, where each man will receive what he gives toward the public wealth fund. many technocrats later on conceived of a similar idea, where energy expended in production should be measured according to one's input of the economy. paul cockshott also holds to this view, i believe.

the alternative vision of the classical economists is simply market equilibrium, where labor values will meet each other in exchange by the balancing of effectual demand to supply (a process which smith says is inevitable, but hastened by "liberty" in the market). marx's issue is that he sees the ways in which capital accumulation sustains indefinite cycles of disequilibrium, leading to general crises. keynes then attempts to resolve this in his own terms, by correcting the internal errors of capital's marginal disutility.

>>2368036
…why wouldn't labor vouchers buy you beer? the beer's "price" would just be the socially necessary labor time required for its production instead of a money price

>>2368372
I agree humans are reasonable creatures but what if someone decides to take too much of one thing? I think for food maybe it’s okay but for other more limited products we need some control.

>>2369332
What do you gain out of taking more food than you can eat at any one time if there’s not a scarcity of food (as there isn’t without capitalist distribution and concomitant restriction of food products) and nobody is going to stop you from just acquiring food?

For one big example, Look at all that had to happen for the Bolsheviks to succeeded
>WW1
>Nicholas making the decision to go to the front line to lead the troops
>The February Revolution
>Kerensky re-entering Russia into WW1
>Kerensky's government collapsing because he tried to orchestrate a coup on himself and then double crossed the Army by arming red militias in petrograd
>The liberals giving the Bolsheviks(among other parties) guns to help stop the Army from overthrowing the provisional government.
>The other socialist parties(which were more popular) believing Lenin would reinstall the constituent assembly
>When the SRs did rise up they refused to execute captured bolshevik officers or do much of anything.
>When the Petrograd sailors rebelled they sat on their island printing newspapers hoping that the people of Russia would realize Lenin was a big meaniehead and get rid of him.

Obviously the future is not a wide-open blank slate where anything can happen. Even massive upheavals like the First World War had observable conditions. But the way it unfolded(with Belgium being invaded and Britain, followed by America, entering the conflict) was due to random chances and the decisions of a handful of individuals.

All these threads are cancer and should be banned. This "style" of discussion causes brainrot.

Agents don't make mistakes in a vacuum, they are pushed into mistakes by the actions of other agents lrn2 war

This is actually also the reason the ussr collapsed, the counter revolution was putting constant pressure on the workers' state on all fronts, accelerating the rate at which they made mistakes

>>2368637
Cause peasants make revolutions. Not domesticated workers in cities.

Why has "empathy" become a swear word (one of a growing number of swear words) in rightard circles?

The ability experience pathy is what seperates human beings from snakes. The scientific classification for someone who doesn't feel empathy is a sociopath, and the general consensus until a few months ago was that being a sociopath is a bad thing. But now you see rightards proudly proclaiming that they don't care about anything or anyone but themselves, and it's fucking bizarre to me.

Pretty much indefensible to attribute right wing to downward mobility a this point. They right wing intellectuals who produce these ideas have done nothing but rise in wealth, power and influence over the last decades. They are quite affluent and secure. Peter Thiel and JD Vance aren’t downwardly mobile. These are genuinely ideological people.

>>2347735
> "if we JUST deport all these goddamn illegals, the labor market will get tighter, more Americans will get jobs, and housing will be more affordable!"

I actually think this is much closer to the Bernie Sanders style of anti-immigrant rhetoric. The right wing is actually directly racist. They talk about the issue in terms of culture and civilization, not labor. Really, we’ve known for decades that the job stealing rhetoric was a fig leaf for the then-unvoicable ideological position. This drift in language in response to a cultural shift on the tolerability of racism was noted at the time and is now named the Southern Strategy.

I think it’s important to recognize that this is a genuinely ideological position. It’s not something that comes out of (another hilariously obvious euphemism) economic anxiety.
