The stupid thing about a Mexican standoff is if you take away all of the guns, absolutely nothing changes, everyone is in the exact same position as before. Why even have the guns to begin with?

Its a prisoner's dilemma. A classic one at that. Read up on game theory.

If nobody has a gun, you gain an advantage over everyone by procuring one. If everyone has a gun, you can credibly dissuade them from robbing you by getting a gun.

Tbh nuclear war might just be the thing that capitalism needs to surpass is human era phase and move to exploit and consume new found minerals and resources in a semi automated world system


Personally Neo china has done a wonderful news

So what is the Posadist take on this Poseidon nuclear torpedo? Can it really create a tsunami full of cobalt-60?

I don’t think Lumpen’s even think Napoleon was bad, as I kid I sure as hell didn’t, nobody really knows who he was or what he did, I didn’t even know he was an emperor I just thought he was some general who wasn’t actually short.

>as opposed to calling everything Nazi or Fascist?
enough with this shit already
there are so many openly nazi rightoids nowadays
why are you still spouting this bullshit

>>2544977
We can't use that term because every political tendency, including most of the left, wants a bonapartist figure to break through the current crisis and catapult them into power

Bonapartism is not about Napoleon the 1st but the third. Thats a gigantic difference, that seems to be almost totally forgotten.

Bonapartism is a flawed concept. Gramsci's concept of Caesarism (of which he considers both Napoleons to be expressions) is much more useful.

I don't know any leftist who supports this type of exploitation. This is a capitalistic endeavor between a strip club and wal mart. A better option would've been to release the files and keep the government open but orange wants violence at the expense of children, the elderly, the permanently disabled or anyone deemed unfit, the single mother is the example the propagandists make the rule. If a woman is stripping and people are willing to pay she sure as hell doesn't need to strip for wal mart.

>getting your pussy penetrated by a penis >>>worse than>>> inhaling evil chemicals that are not supposed to be inhaled, going blind, permanently fucking up your back

yeah it's work

>but it's dehumanizing!!!

so… like a job?

>>2545765
Not only is it work, it's skilled labor.

Anti-sex work """leftists""" will see a starving woman selling herself, and conclude a solution to her predicament is banning sex work.

i don't give a fuck about any of this
keep it in the mallshart general

the US has repeatedly gotten bogged down in wars with countries for "no reason at all." almost every war and occupation since ww2. except, the "no reason at all" is imperialism, but when people dont like to acknowledge the rational basis for something they just decide its irrational and inexplicable

Labor activist takes on Teamsters leader allying with Trump: ‘He doesn’t represent the workers’
His bid to lead Local 623 came up short in 2016. But in 2020, the married father of four became the first Black man to ever lead the union, which represents workers at companies including UPS and Greyhound. Now Hooker is running to replace O’Brien at the top of one of the most influential unions in the US, due to frustrations over his decision to align with Trump, the 2023 UPS contract as UPS recently reported cutting 48,000 jobs, and allegations of intimidation against criticizing O’Brien’s administration.

Liberal Capitalism’s Long Authoritarian Streak
We’re coming up, in two years, on the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Albert Hirschman’s The Passions and the Interests: Political Arguments for Capitalism before Its Triumph. Some of you may know of Hirschman as one of the main characters in that not-so-good, pulpy Netflix series Transatlantic, which depicts the efforts of Hirschman and others to rescue European Jewish intellectuals from the Nazis in France. If you’re a political scientist or sociologist, you may know of Hirschman for his book Exit, Voice, and Loyalty. If you’re a theorist, you may know his Rhetoric of Reaction. If you’re an economist or a Latin Americanist, you might know of his work in development economics. But, for me, Hirschman will always be the author of The Passions and the Interests. Its main thesis is that early-modern writers, from Machiavelli to David Hume, saw in the idea of interests — initially understood as a reasoned form of passion, later as a strictly economic pursuit of money and material well-being — as a counter to dangerous forms of political passion: glory, heroism, virtue, excessive civic-mindedness. It’s a wonderful little book, which in many ways has inspired some of the counterarguments that I am making in my book King Capital. But there’s a little-noticed element in Hirschman’s book, which I only just stumbled upon in a recent rereading. Given when the book was written, in 1977, and given Hirschman’s extensive involvement in Latin American politics and economics and his many efforts to save Latin American Marxists and leftists who were being threatened by right-wing goons and governments in the 1970s, that subplot seems worth mentioning.

Amazon Web Services crash: who owns the internet?
In the early hours of 20 October, a simple error disrupted the operations of a data centre hub for Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Northern Virginia. The ripple effect over the next few hours caused global outages to services as diverse as banking and real-time trading, tools for office management, social media, and even advanced manufacturing. In all, a total of 2,000 large companies were impacted, including a number of BrPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Despite most central banks cutting short-term interest rates, borrowing rates for corporations have not fallen so much. The big cash-rich companies do not need to borrow and if they do, they can get the best rates. The AI companies are still able to fund their huge capital investments from existing cash reserves and earnings from successful core businesses, although that cash is being drained fast. But other companies are dependent on the banking sector to keep bailing them out.

And here is the risk. In the US, smaller regional banks got into deep trouble in March 2023, when start-up tech companies started to take out their deposits to keep going and the banks could not meet their obligations. And last month, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon delivered a cryptic warning to the financial system. Referring to the bankruptcies of auto parts supplier First Brands and subprime auto lender Tricolor Holdings, Dimon said: “When you see one cockroach, there’s probably more. Everyone should be forewarned on this one.” JPMorgan lost $170 million on Tricolor. Fifth Third Bancorp and Barclays also lost $178 million and $147 million. Some US regional banks were also back in the wars. First Citizens Bancshares and South State lost $82 million and $32 million, respectively.

Is the Ai bubble actually real? and whens it going to burst?

i would describe this as a form of protestant catholicism, like the tradcath autism that promotes sola scriptura over the lived tradition of the church

>>2545429
TradCaths go by tradition as well. They simply believe Vatican II was illegitimate.

Castrate yourself, study hard and pass the civil service exams that will allow you to serve in the Emperor's court

>>2540078
You dont

Mentality like that will lead you on a cult real fast, just read theory and when opportunity appear try to show people about leftist views in a civil manner, more than that you could join a real political party and do some action around your city, state or even your country, just do become a schizo fanatic

This post sound as if it was made by some Mormon devolted to cult. Which oddly fits trots so it make sense
