Well one argument against eugenics is it's impossible to know the future and what genes will be best in the ever changing environment, but socialists are all about planning so oh well. I guess there could be concerns about genetic stagnation if everyone chases the same ideals and then some random disease wipes us out like a monocrop.

"superior genes" aren't a thing

A healthy gene pool is a diverse gene pool. If you are culling "bad" genes you are running the risk of depleting reproductive viability.

The way I see it, it's putting the cart before the horse.

As much as I am a layman, I will not budge that the problems of capitalism can not be fixed with superior genes. For the same reasons I don't think that GMOs or "superfoods" are the key to ending hunger. And I don't think it reasonable to wait for the human species to transcend the need of nutrition through some world wide transhumanist project for the problem to be solved.

While work was being carried out on Abd al-Kuri, it was also proceeding apace at Samhah, the smallest of Socotra’s three inhabited islands, located deep in the Arabian Sea.

Satellite imagery shows that the UAE began constructing an airstrip on the island in 2024, with the runway completed in April 2025, alongside the paving of roads and establishment of essential support facilities.

Samhah’s rocky, mountainous terrain does not allow for the easy construction of longer runways, so it is most likely used for rapid, periodic surveillance operations rather than heavy transport. It can receive and operate the Hermes 900 and is able to support electronic reconnaissance and maritime surveillance operations.

The island’s location is ideal for monitoring the maritime passage between the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, through which about 12 percent of worldwide trade passes.

Between 25 March and 4 April 2025, satellite imagery revealed the appearance of a temporary sandbar on the western side of Samhah, which was not visible in previous images seen by MEE. This small sandbar appears to have been formed for temporary marine drainage, a common pattern in isolated military construction projects.

While this was taking place, the Young Star, a Comoros-flagged landing craft with IMO number 1095973, which was most likely being used to unload equipment used to prepare the runway, could be seen anchored off the island’s west coast.

From newsanon's thread:

Mohammed bin Salman expected to lobby Trump over UAE role in Sudan, sources say

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman is expected to lobby US President Donald Trump over the UAE’s support for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan when the two leaders meet at the White House next week, multiple Arab and western officials have told Middle East Eye.

The move, which follows a phone call last week between Mohammed bin Salman and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) commander Abdul Fattah al-Burhan, would mark a rare direct engagement between the Saudi ruler and Trump on Sudan.

The UAE has backed the RSF throughout the war using supply lines that run through southeastern Libya, Chad and, increasingly, the port of Bosaso, on Somalia's Puntland coast. Abu Dhabi continues to deny the allegations.

Multiple sources monitoring the war told MEE that their internal traffic showed an information war was already under way between UAE and Saudi-backed social media accounts. Accounts linked to the UAE are looking to discredit journalists and organisations that report on RSF atrocities, while Saudi-linked accounts are boosting the same content.

A Sudanese source briefed on the call between Mohammed bin Salman and Burhan said that the general told the crown prince there was no way the war in Sudan would end without US pressure on the UAE. The source told MEE that Mohammed bin Salman promised Burhan he would raise the issue with Trump.

An Arab diplomat in the region told MEE that Abu Dhabi is anticipating Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Washington to result in such pressure.

What if violence is necessary to create a better world?

>>2560109
It is

The point of political violence is to bring attention, whether its some retard mass shooter or lugigi the fact it happens shows the state cannot maintain control. Don't look at it being real revolutionary action, look at it more of a sign of collaping conditions.

Once again, Maupin is right.

problem is that the actually effective acts of individual violence are really hard to pull off
the average person who commits political violence is dumb and lazy, if they were rational enough to engage in effective acts they would also be rational enough to value self-preservation and not engage in the acts
there's only a handful of exceptions where someone really smart and calculating pulls off something big

I’m going to tell you exactly what I just told you, western political theory is framed around the individual and against collective responsibility, the most popular and the most radical ideas in both right-wing circles and left-wing circles revolve around that. Anecdotal evidence about opinions you’ve heard that ought to justify a refutation of collective responsibility be damned

>>2560090
Well you’ve done nothing to prove otherwise despite ample opportunity to do so over the past several decades

So the world Capital System is made up of multiple nested hierarchies, starting with the hierarchies in the social division of labor (aka laborers with the task of commanding other laborers in the name of Capital) moving onto the hierarchies in the national capitalist market wherein workers are subordinated to the national market as a whole, then small capitals are outcompeted by and subordinated to larger and larger capital up to the entire national state as the top of this national capitalist hierarchy, with the state functioning as the executive apparatus for the entire national capitalist structure; the next set of hierarchy is that between the actual national states now and their respective national/transnational firms on the scale of the actual world market which again sorts as the smaller less powerful national capitals are subordinated to the larger ones that then subordinate themselves to supranational structures to compete with their global competitors, which, since the 19th Century, finally all come together to form increasingly complex and real globally integrating executive committees for global capital; think the Congress of Vienna, or the League of Nations, and now the United Nations; which primarily emerge to stabilize relations between the entire world capitalist power structure between imperial national states and their imperialist transnational firms

What is very important to grasp here is that these hierarchies are not stable, in fact they are also riven with antagonism all the way down, from top to bottom; from the antagonism in the labor force between the laborers acting solely as labour-powers and laborers operating as managers of capital, up to the antagonisms between small and large capitals, and the antagonisms between the various nations, and the imperialist blocs. Libertarians ultimately reflect the outlook of the petit bourgeois, the small capitalist; and yet whilst the development of the system progressively annihilates, then reconstitutes more subordinate than last, then annihilates again this class, it is nevertheless entirely reliant on the continuation of the system for the perpetuation of the system; thus a contradictory movement occurs; wherein the libertarian is forced to confront the entire world capitalist system wherein the class position determining his own consciousness is both reliant on but aPost too long.

I watched an interesting video a while ago analyzing the causes behind America's war of independence, and it essentially boiled down to the fact that although both Britain and it's American colonies were well on the road to capitalist liberalism by the late 18th century, the British government had a dual role as botu the guarantor of the profits and property of the British ruling class, as well as the manager of a global empire. Meanwhile, the colonial governments in America only fulfilled that first role with respect to the colonial elites. This led to a contradiction wherein the British government was forced to temporarily work against the interests of the colonial rulers in America for the broader interests of its empire (e.g. tax them to pay for wars in Europe, maintain peaceful relations with Indigenous allies, fund new colonial ventures in India, etc.). I think that right wing anti-globalism and anti-interventionism (dare I say, anti-imperialism) in America is fuelled by a similar contradiction. Even if America's role as the head of a Western imperialist coalition is good for the collective Western bourgeoisie (and especially American bourgeoisie) as a whole, this doesn't mean it's good for all levels of it at all times. Imagine as an example a small time manufacturer that struggles to keep up with larger competitors at the best of times, when along comes free trade and those competitors can pick up and go to Mexico or China, thus cutting costs and becoming even more competitive. It's not hard to see how this could lead to the emergence of a movement which is hostile to the more international aspects of modern capitalism and the American empire, but still very much pro-capitalist.

this is quote a long video about british india, but a similar thing occurred there with two camps. mercantilists in the East India Company just wanted to cautiously collect tribute, make profit and do trade without expending too much money in wars, which could also affect stability.
Expansionists wanted to wage wars to conquer territories to gain even greater profit. but the mercantilists thought it was too costly, and didn't want to take responsibility for ruling vast lands and populations.

libertarians believe in selling everything that isn't nailed to the ground, their ideal state is literally a failstate like russia during the mid 90s

Because they are idealists who think the modern capitalist economy is "not real capitalism".

There’s gonna be massive backlash against republicans. Massie and MGT jumping ship shows they see the writing on the wall. This is going to end in some republicans being hung and rightfully so. They are the most craven of criminals and have been for decades. In a just society anyone that called themselves a Zionist would be removed from office and put on trial.

Unfortunately I’m afraid they’ll throw trump and possibly bill Clinton to the angry mob, give us gruesome Gavin in 2028 and it’ll be a repeat of Obama. It’s really important that we make sure that it is know the democrats and republicans are the same. It’s more obvious than ever that the dems are a fake opposition party complicit in the massive theft, fraud, bribery, treason, and child trafficking the republicans have been doing for decades.

This one? It's AI generated.

Genuine Question: Why do people (correctly) call out the fact that the US is irredeemable and founded on genocide of indigenous people and enslavement of Black people, but then explicitly or implicitly claim that said Black and Native people are exploiters of the third world, in order to imply that revolution is impossible in the US *even among black and native people*. In addition, why do the people opposing the claims of revolution being impossible in the US bring up the conditions of all working-class people in the US in general, instead of specifically that of Black and Native people. Idk, it seems like there used to be a coherent position on the left that revolution among *white* people specifically in the US was impossible, but that revolution among colonized people in the US was possible and necessary, but now it’s been subsumed into both of the positions I’m talking about. Also, it seems like a lot of people take the government propaganda that every single Native American died and there are none left today at face value in order to argue that *all* people in the US are unrevolutionary settlers, what’s up with that? Sorry, I know I’m being really reductive, this has just been bothering me for a really long time and I want some answers.
