>If Salvador Allende hadn't been toppled in Pinochet's coup
It might not be that far fetched that the CIA did the coup because they were scared shitless of Cybersyn.
>>2278265
Supposedly they just operate the film slide screens on the wall and some indicators in another room to let the support staff do something.
The actual thing was not this conference room, but the system that ran interdependently of it. They had terminals in every major factory to make resource allocation and production targets less bureaucratic.

Honestly could modern AI make cybersyn more viable? I do like the idea.

>>2278327
the dumbest thing he did was disarm the left

>>2280689
It was already viable and current "AI" might make it worse. Cybercyn didn't make decisions it just compiled facts using economic mathematics and it collected data.
The reason why the coup was successful was a lack of militancy of Chilean socialists and a lack of international solidarity.

>>2280932
Yes, but the state of the art in applied AI/Machine Learning would be useful for optimising flows, but beyond that no, Generative AI for example would not add anything of value to the issue at this juncture as far as I know and would cause harm

Things may change in the future, but I wouldn't get excited; the amount of power the compute burns for these models is increasing greenhouse gas emissions despite the renewable energy push

Since they're obviously not going away, I strongly urge all token based models to be distilled into diffusion based models as these have lower compute requirements and hypothetically better intelligence since texts are formed as "thoughts" that diffuse into stability

Justice Department agrees to end Biden-era felony case against Boeing
In return, Boeing must pay over $1.1 billion in fines, safety improvements and compensation for families of the people who died in the crashes in October 2018 and March 2019. Those disasters, involving Boeing’s 737 MAX 8 jet, kicked off years of still-unresolved questions from lawmakers and safety experts about the federal government’s oversight of the giant manufacturer and defense contractor. Boeing would have to “admit to conspiracy to obstruct and impede” federal regulators, but DOJ would agree to ask a judge to dismiss the case, the department said in a court filing. The government would have the option of refiling the charges later.

DHS Is Getting Ready to Identify Everyone Who Leaves the Country, Expanding Immigration Dragnet
The U.S. government-led crackdown on student protestors against the genocide in the Gaza Strip may be extending to checkpoints with exit controls at land-to-land border crossings. In recent weeks, reports have emerged of plans for new checkpoints near land exits from the U.S., as well as the implementation of programs that use photography and facial recognition technology to identify people attempting to leave the country.

Trump administration releases people to shelters it threatened to prosecute for aiding migrants
Border shelters, which have long provided lodging, meals and transportation to the nearest bus station or airport, were rattled by a letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that raised “significant concerns” about potentially illegal activity and demanded detailed information in a wide-ranging investigation. FEMA suggested shelters may have committed felony offenses against bringing people across the border illegally or traPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

CP of Venezuela, PCV statement on the May 25 regional and parliamentary elections
This Sunday, May 25, regional and parliamentary elections will be held in Venezuela in a profoundly anti-democratic context marked by the absence of electoral guarantees, institutional opacity and a repressive escalation unprecedented in recent history. This new process has been called by a National Electoral Council (CNE) lacking all legitimacy after its direct participation in the cover-up of the results of the presidential elections of July 28, 2024. The electoral maneuver attempted to be imposed this May 25 cannot be disassociated from that inconclusive and fraudulent process that culminated in the unconstitutional and unlawful inauguration of Nicolás Maduro, who has been usurping the Presidency of the Republic since January 10. The CNE, controlled by the leadership of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), has made its hallmark the flagrant violation of the processes established in laws and regulations, as well as the lack of transparency. A few days before the elections, the official schedule has not been published in the Electoral Gazette; the right to freely run for office was not guaranteed either: electoral tickets were eliminated without any explanation and numerous opposition candidates were arbitrarily disqualified. It should be recalled that the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), as well as various organizations of different political tendencies, has been subjected to judicial intervention, which has prevented our organization, as well as all the revolutionary and popular forces from presenting the Venezuelan people with an independent electoral option.

Serbia: on the demand for new elections
The students leading the ongoing protests across Serbia recently announced that they are demanding early parliamentary elections, in which the students will propose their own list of candidates. All opposition media outlets loudly reported this statement, and the masses expressed their support out of trust in the students. Some activists have gone as far as to say that anyone who is in favour of bringing down the regPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Thanks News Anon

why does cuba allow that subhuman to go around the island making propaganda? jesus, is there a single fucking country with a spine left

In typical chauvinist fashion you have no idea what happened and spout hot air to justify your unprincipled dismissal of actually existing revolution. The fascist Indian state has been pumping troops into Chhattisgarh to root out as many communists as possible regardless of civilian deaths. They're basically going around slaughtering anyone who even breathes at them funny and claiming it as a great victory. This is a coordinated, massive, and brutal military campaign.

That would be a great argument if it was the superstructurally oppressed spontanously dividing themselves opposed to it already being systemically established where the superstructurally privileged are socialized into believing these constructs to be real and acting to discriminate and abuse those oppressed themselves.

>>2280454
No they didn't "spontaneously divide" they were divided in the first place by the ruling classes, they have always tried to make the classes below them fight each other. Feudal kings actively encouraged their vassals to fight each other instead of their sovereign.

Upholding the Marxist View of the News Media
http://english.qstheory.cn/magazine/201401/201402/t20140208_318982.htm (Dead Link)

by Li Baoshan

From the English Edition of Qiushi Journal Vol.6 No. 1 January 1, 2014
Originally appeared in Qiushi Journal, Chinese edition, No. 16, 2013

Views of the news media pertain to overall views and fundamental opinions with regard to news phenomena and news activities. The Communist Party of China (CPC) believes that news activities should be guided by the Marxist view of the news media. This view is particularly relevant at present. In this article, I would like to present some opinions with regard to some issues of common concern.

Qiushi Journal is the organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, CPC


"[…] The considerable cost of running a media outlet dictates that only the rich can afford to run a media organization, and only tycoons and large financial groups can afford to run major media organizations. The most powerful Western media organizations, those that play a decisive role in world news, command global broadcasting, and exert an enormous influence on world politics, economy, ideology, and culture, are actually controlled by a small handful of families. The Wall Street Journal, the Fox Broadcasting Company, and The Times all belong to Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp; CBS Broadcasting, Inc., Paramount Television, and MTV belong to Viacom Incorporated, which is controlled by the Redstone family; the world’s largest book publisher, Penguin Random House, Europe’s largest television broadcasting company, the RTL Group, and its largest magazine publishing group, Gruner + Jahr, all belong to the Bertelsmann Company, which is owned by the Mohn family; the New York Times Company, controlled by the Sulzberger family, owns The New York Times and the International Herald Tribune; and the Chandler family has long controlled the Los Angeles Times. In Britain, the Thompson family controls Reuters, one of the world’s four largest news agencies; the Pearson family owns the Financial Times, The Economist, and Pearson PLC, which runs the largest TV network in Europe; and The Guardian has been always controlled by the Scott family. In the U.S., the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) has been bought out by the General Electric CompanyPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Yeah? USSR was capitalist

>The more I read about Judaism and its history and peoples… can their identity ever really be detached from usury/centralized banking.

It's always the retards who have read the least about Judaism who say shit like this.

Check this out:

Leviticus 25:35-37
<If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. Do not take interest or any profit from them, but fear your God, so that they may continue to live among you.

You must not lend them money at interest or sell them food at a profit.

Ezekiel 18:10-13

<Suppose he has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these other things (though the father has done none of them):
<He eats at the mountain shrines.

>Marx, Hitler, and the early Zionists were all atheists and it's clear because their criticisms of Judaism were based on their own imaginations of what they thought Judaism was, rather than strict adherence to the actual rules.
why are you lumping marx in with hitler, liberal?

>lumping in Marx with zionists (and Hitler)
Let me guess, you think he wrote "The Jewish Question."

On one habd nuclear is supported by the fossil fuel sector as a delaying tactic against renewables. Nuclear is the most expensive, technologically demanding source of electricity so if the money goes to this you have reactors that will take 20 years to build instead of renewables now.
On the other hand it's a way of making other countries dependant and tied up on super long projects as on this instance rosatom would own all the supply line as this technology is just so far out of reach for BF.

With their poor development and lack of education nevermind the insecurity nuclear is a terrible choice for Burkina, they should just go all in for solar

>>2279727
Yeah I'm sure. The oil industry wasn't de jure privatized because it was too unpopular of a move and would've bankrupted the country from the get go. Instead its extraction, exploration and construction rights were handed to private firms including Chinese ones. To this day it's still de jure state owned and nowhere in the articles you linked it says otherwise. Of course it makes no practical difference as foreign monopolies still dominant the oil industry but it exposes your pathetic apologism.

so Bremer didn't nationalize the oil?

>develop laboratory infrastructure, and train specialists

>rosatom would own all the supply line
you know they have their own uranium?
>go all in for solar
solar only lasts a couple decades and you have to replace them. do you think they have the supply lines for that??
