The current setup with the TOR node in-site creates an absurd fucking system that punishes rule-abiding posters twice over while offering literally zero reason for the most atrociously malignant posters to follow the rules.

People flagrantly break the rules and then ban-evade without even trying to hide what they're doing, going so far as to continue posting with the exact same static name, and their original IP ban doesn't even get a single minute of increased ban length from all I've seen so far.

So everyone else not only has to follow the rules, but they also get to watch as the people who break them on a repeat basis simply mock them for reporting them. The number of people who use it in good faith could be counted on one hand. Not reporting is bourgeois is put on the very top of the screen on every fucking thread but
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF REPORTING PEOPLE IF THEY CAN JUST CASUALLY EVADE ANY PUNISHMENT WHATSOEVER?

Supposedly there's supposed to be a feature that helps prevent abuse of TOR in the future, but as it is it's a BROKEN FUCKING FEATURE that has only annoyed everyone who doesn't use it. FINISH your fucking project before you IMPLEMENT IT!

>tor node is controlled where otherwise the real glowies would just use advanced VPN tricknologies where good faith communist posters use tor node
Tor is a technology developed by the US Navy for a specific purpose, and it requires adoption at scale to achieve that purpose. When I considered donating to it, I released around 30% of its funding IIRC comes from the US government.

Therefore, I'm pretty confident that US state actors use it, it's not simply 'a honeypot', and therefore any backdoor or exploit, if/when they exist, would have to be burned the moment an adversary discovers it. That doesn't mean it can't exist temporarily, or that exploits don't exist - Tor Browser is actually one of the most private and least secure modern browsers if you aren't using the safest mode (Firefox ESR-based monoculture is a far easier target compared to rolling release Chromium).

That said, obviously malicious actors, whether clickfarms or glowies, have access to botnets and other proxies (VPNs? rofl just admit you're posting vibes comr8). Imagine if you could block them just by blocking Tor exit nodes, shit would be hilarious. Some glowlib just solving Cloudflare captchas for hours, imagine if they all did that. We'd have self-driving cars working by now.

The real violent arm of the State to control its population is the police. Several reasons for this:

•Perceived as legitimate
•Mostly uses non-lethal force
•Letal force is limited
•Ready to act immediately

But most importantly: the National Guard would not dare use military equipment against civilians. And compared to the police, soldiers believe they exist to protect the country from foreign enemies rather than internal ones.

The National Guard is a paper tiger. The real enemy is the police, and it can be beaten.

>the solution is not to have unchecked authority instead.
I agree but dividing state functions into independent Branches of Government doesn't work. Federal Executive just ends up running everything anyway because they have the guns. And then there is no internal system of holding the Executive back because the other outside, separate and independent Branches of Government can just be ignored.

He actively listened to his commanders and changed strategies when they suggested it. Exactly what a political leader is supposed to do.

4 decades after his death. He couldn't control USSR's later bad leaders and bad decisions from the grave. Sure he could have done some things better but not everything can be blamed on him.

>>2330389
It was the USSR's cultural revolution and low key civil war getting rid of internal Fascists. Even if they went overboard, it was the first socialist state to ever exist so it's not like could look at other socialist states for guidance.

Who cares bro
Bukharin should have taken over and implemented socialism with soviet characteristics
That would have save the ussr

>>2315236
Nothing you describe has happened in reality. It was Khruschevite forgery, enabled by Krupskaya already being dead. There's zero evidence from before the letters getting published by Khruschevites that a supposed fallout with Krupskaya/Stalin has happened

Furthermore, they've constantly tried to incriminate Krupskaya herself in ties with opposition, like, Zinoviev/Kamenev had a democratization proposition, Krupskaya didn't just throw them out of the door outright, and so they collected her signature on a bill that had wildly different content, one Krupskaya didn't see and had to defend her own name. Since then, she was in a very hostile mood to trots and rightists.

Bet they don't tell you about this incident, don't they? Instead, they at best present it as Stalin terrifying Krupskaya into compliance, heh

>>2330901
I find it totally believable. This doesn't sound crazy. Besides, didn't Trotsky himself say that Lenin was his beloved teacher, and Lenin has viewed Trotsky as his best pupil?

If you think bullshit like Unequal Exchange, Dependency Theory, and World Systems Theory are Marxist, then you clearly haven't actually read Marx. It's just early Frankfurt School self-jizzing paired with other sociologies and a bit of Ricardian economics and Hilferding sprinkled into it for good measure. Hell, some people even make shit up about Lenin having something to do with it, like sure, Lenin's elaborations on the state, imperialism, etc. are half-assed, some borderline midwit but it was never THIS retarded.

Third world countries are poor because their ruling class fail to develop strong cohesive institutions, they fail to bring corruption, instability, violence etc under control. Their states allows or even helps in the formation of cliques of elites that monopolize ownership of land and capital, thus stifling capitalist competition.

This is why Marx unironically was pro-colonialism in the instances when it destroyed the old stagnant social relations of the colonized and replaced it with a more vital capitalism. This is why Engels talked about the US conquering Calfornia from Mexico being a good thing.

The idea that the introduction of capitalism magically automatically results in rapid industrialization, economic growth etc, is a false idea. This false idea is what causes people to desperately search for some nebulous outside factor when this doesn't happen. The reality is that there is a human factor here. You need a stable society, good institutions, good levels of social cohesion, good human capital like an educated, hardworking population, low crime rates etc.

poor countries are poorer than developed countries for the same reason small businesses are poorer than big businesses and supporting neither has anything to do with communism

They are retarded. Global inequality is not some unequal exchange. It's an inherent feature of capitalism. The countries where you can make stuff out for less cost of production and have higher productivity are obviously gonna dominate the market over the ones that are low and expensive. The wealth transfer i.e. "unequal exchange" stems from the production, not through trade/exchange.

If the production per worker was higher in the West, outsourcing would still exist and for precisely that reason. Capitalists don't outsource because they're less productive, they outsource precisely because they're relentlessly seeking to maximize absolute profits. The developed countries demonstrably have an absolute advantage in efficiency and technology. So, what does highly productive capital do? It leverages its superior capital stock and technological edge while strategically exploiting wage differentials elsewhere for specific tasks.

It's direly perplexing out here. The utter poverty of philosophies about exploitation and international relations.

>The wealth transfer i.e. "unequal exchange" stems from the production, not through trade/exchange.
no lol. the wealth is created in production, its appropriated in exchange. your conflating the economy as a whole with the actions of individuals. individual exchanges are always above or below the actual value, and total value is always equal to total price, by definition.

>If therefore, the capitalist who applies the new method, sells his commodity at its social value of one shilling, he sells it for threepence above its individual value, and thus realises an extra surplus-value of threepence. On the other hand, the working day of 12 hours is, as regards him, now represented by 24 articles instead of 12. Hence, in order to get rid of the product of one working day, the demand must be double what it was, i.e., the market must become twice as extensive. Other things being equal, his commodities can command a more extended market only by a diminution of their prices. He will therefore sell them above their individual but under their social value, say at tenpence each. By this means he still squeezes an extra surplus-value of one penny out of each. This augmentation of surplus-value is pocketed by him, whether his commodities belong or not to the class of necessary means of subsistence that participate in determining the general value of labour-power. Hence, independently of this latter circumstance, there is a motive for each individual capitalist to cheapen his commodities, by increasing the productiveness of labour.

I’ll admit, I genuinely didn’t give a shit when I heard that India and Pakistan were bombing each other, I didn’t give a shit about any of the trump related drama, and I didn’t give a shit about the Iran Israeli garbage either. What amazes me is how apathetic everyone else was despite being aware of all these problems.
Just look online and you’ll find hundreds of videos of people just standing idly by while missiles are being set off and everyone is just totally zen. You can tell these days that marginalization, privatization, police violence, and systemic abuse globally have left the most leaders’ attitudes on politics to be completely out of sync with normal people. Even the bourgeoisie is currently in a reputation crisis among tje people it exploits with the whole musk drama shitshow fucking over whatever patience tje average person had for the rich left. People just really don’t care about the rich or politics as much as they used to.

A lot actually. Here’s a *brief* list of things Lebanese people can (and to an extent already have done) do to make their country safe from Israel:
• Buy and make their own weapons—which could include bombs, guns, vehicles, drones, ammo, etc.—from whoever is already is selling them weapons
• arm their population with guns
• train people physically and with whatever weapons they have on them
• support and fund vigilante and militia groups to attack Israeli positions and to set up their own camps to defend their own territory
• build more defensive networks to sabotage Israeli aggression networks
• collaborate with the few middle eastern allies they have to find more weapons and security deals
• supply weapons to anti Israeli forces just to have them fight that Zionist regime instead of having to fight Israel head on
• spy on Israeli soldiers and military positions
• stockpile military supplies in safe houses while gradually recruiting as many Lebanese people as possible
I could keep going but I’ll stop there. Any of these choices alone are preferable to whatever unserious shit the Lebanese are doing right now.

>>2330890
Only a fraction of a population ever actually participates in combat scenarios or is even dedicated to military development because it comes at the cost of not doing anything else more productive. This has nothing to do with "apathy" it's just economics questions.

Are you all seriously having a cry about some Lebanese people celebrating the Zionist Regime getting bombed? Because I'm celebrating too, and you're invited comrade /o/

The myth that the CCF was antifascist must be destroyed. All these radical movements stem from De Maistre and Bakunin.

>The Congress for Cultural Freedom:

Making the Postwar World Safefor Fascist `Kulturkampf'

The president of the CCF's Executive Committee was Denis de Rougemont, a Swiss national who had introduced Paris to the works of Nazi philosopher Martin Heidegger, Soren Kierkegaard, and Karl Barth before World War II, through his magazine Hic et Nunc.

De Rougemont, known for his book Love in the Western World, wrote a Gnostic broadside attacking the morality of the United States under FDR, which can only be taken as an attempt to undermine the mobilization to defeat Fascism in World War II. Entitled "On the Devil and Politics," and written while he was stationed in the U.S. working for the Office of War Information (OWI), it was published in the June 2, 1941 issue of Christianity and Crisis.

De Rougemont's thesis is that all men have an inherently evil side to them which is at least an impulse. Every individual risks that his impulse might actually become real under certain circumstances, and an individual must know that evil resides in himself, or he is not a functioning human being.

>The Congress for Cultural Freedom: Making the Postwar World Safe for Fascist `Kulturkampf'

https://larouchepub.com/other/2004/site_packages/3125ccf_kulturkampf.html

The working relationship between the British elites and their American counterparts, in what ultimately became the CCF, traced back to a 1948 tour of America by Arthur Koestler.

Born in 1905 in Budapest, as a young man he was an aide to Vladimir Jabotinsky, the self-professed Zionist promoter of ᴉuᴉlossnW Fascism. When he was 27, he joined the Communist Party and went to Russia, where he wrote Of White Nights and Red Days, which was funded by the Comintern.

Koestler next operated in Germany, and was exiled to Paris when Hitler took power. There, he worked for leading Comintern agent Willi Munzenberg, and became an expert in running infiltration and neutralization operations against political organizations. In 1936, Munzenberg deployed him on a spy mission to Spain, where he was interned as a political prisoner. Though he was a well-known Sovet intelligence asset, it was the British who intervened to get Koestler freed. In 1938, he resigned from the Communist Party and went to Paris. During World War II, he was interned in France, and while in jail, wrote his "Damascus Road" repudiation of communism, Darkness at Noon. His book became one of the propaganda documents of choice for Dulles and company, circulated through the Congress for Cultural Freedom…
