>we have the ability to genetically modify food and render it permanently non-scarce
>instead agri-porkoids use genetic modification to make seeds into intellectual property and artificially scarce so that they are non-viable after 1 season of planting
>we invent highly effective fertilizers that tremendously increase crop yields
>agri-porkoids, rather than dumping precisely the amount they need to make their crops grow, instead dump way more than they need, because measuring shit is for pussy ass science faggots, this causes massive runoff into the ocean that causes algae bloom and kills millions of fish, far more calories in fish than crops that could have been grown in another season with the excess fertilizer that was needlessly dumped on the crops
>agri-porkoids get to call themselves by the humble name "farmer" while the actual slaves and indentured servants who pick, wash, and package the crops have their worker visas stolen by these "farmers" so they can be blackmailed into sleeping in a shed for months on end and doing the most miserable labor in the sun which somehow still hasn't been automated by machinery despite the level of technology we have
>rather than genetically engineering crops to increase their nutritional content with respect to vitamins and minerals we genetically engineer crops to mazimize calories and sugar, even though there is an obesity epidemic
>the most fertile regions on earth are either in the Divided $nakkkes of Der Burgerreich or are in Ukraine, covered in mines and littered with the corpses of post-soviet slavic zoomers needlessly killing each other so that euroids can buy liquid natural gas for triple the price it was before the war.

what are some other depressing facts about the ABSOLUTE STATE of global agriculture?

so they're experimenting with using cattails, water hyacinths, etc. to soak up some of that runoff. Also just recycling the algae bloom into organic fertilizer. But no punishment for porkoids who overuse fertilizer. Getting to the root cause of the problem would be madness. Can't do that. Funny thing is the runoff wouldn't even happen if they just used the correct amount with precision farming techniques. The NPK runoff is just the result of nutrients that DON'T Get absorbed by the crops. Literally just pure wasted minerals. People are harvesting nitrogen, phoshphorous, and potassium in miserable work conditions, and then that gets processed into NPK fertilizers, just for porkoids to dump 100x what they need because they think more fertilizer than the plant can possibly absorb = bigger crop yields. so retarded. agri-porkoids don't even know plant biology.

The fertilizer company is incentivized to sell shitty quick-releaase stuff that mostly washes off because that means the farmers buy more from them.

>>2194671
very true but so is agricultural enterprises overusing stuff and not precision farming

Mortar are infantry weapons, same as grenades and rpgs and machine guns. It's imprecise close to the enemy weaponry that's supposed to be mass "shoot and forget" kind of a thing. You shouldn't care about making sure that the enemy was hit, you just throw another charge to make sure

Whenever you play those kinds of shooters, if there is endless supply of grenades and the like, it just turns into explosions everywhere. You don't fucking need spotters for such a weaponry

A horrific achievement in Neoliberalism successfully divorcing economics from any degree democratic participatory politics. Only for obviously continuing externalities of production to continue the alienation a populace that now cant materially articulate its own immiseration; anchoring politics around the only dividing experiences still understood in college, culture and politician-as-celebrity.
An ironic 40 year boomerang where neoliberal technocrats downsize the intervenient state and outsourced economic decision making to independent financial institutions to 'purify' market interests off any mass political pressure, only for the 'downsizing' logic to come for the technocracy itself as the sum alienation produces a culture war poisoned political project that creates a vertically parallel austerity agency named after an internet dog begins cannibalising your own management because of 'woke'.
I think we're finally seeing the beginning of the negation of culture war poltics as it has finally seized (to a degree) actual material power, inevitably creating severe friction against economic reality that will punish its schizo assumptions with discrediting failure. Going to be a long way down though.

Even though it is commonly shown as a stop or a distraction, truth is idpol is an important topic for Marxism nowadays because of its natural implications. Idpol even seen as an antiworker movemeent due to its focusing away from a clear proletarian - bourgeois dialectic does pose a new hurdle for Marxism to adapt to if it wants to become an ideology for the 21st century. Marxism never had to adapt to different ethnic societies living inside a single country due to its European cradle that forbade it from growing in light of different identities in a same place and the natural social, cultural and economical dynamics that rise thereof. Unless Marxism correctly tackles and offers a solution for identities and the dialectics that rise thereof it will never correctly rise again as the right alternative to the corporationist economic system that reigns most of the world this day (which is nothing but an evolution from old capitalism seen in Marx's and Lenin's day).

Have any of you guys used rednote since it got popularized a month ago? What’s the impression you are getting from talking to Chinese users? I must say I am disappointed. The people have nothing insightful to say. They are like liberals with merely a different culture. They don‘t even sound like they know Marxism. The entirety or their “socialism” is to blindly rely on the government handling things. Their stance on nationalism also sounds contriver and convoluted. They are also in favor of depoliticization which to me just sounds like a cheap attempt at avoiding social issues while framing it as a virtue.

Seeing the failures of Marxist Leninism I believe that the left communists have the best analysis of the situation from a Marxist perspective, that is of the implementation of State Capitalism, which Lenin admits to establishing in the USSR in The Tax in Kind however never progressing to socialism. This is why Russia today is capitalist as there is never a return to the old system, i.e capitalism going back to feudalism. All other subsequent Marxist Leninist states have followed this path.

Is there anything within Marxist Leninism to suggest this is false beyond just making excuses for whatever the party does? I see a lot of mental gymnastics with China defending the obvious fact that it is just state run capitalism.

I support state-capitalist national-liberation efforts for anti-imperialism reasons but I don't consider them to be socialist states. They're a battle towards victory for the people but only a battle, not the war. State capitalism is inevitably going to slide towards bourgie bullshit after a few decades. Such is life. A battle doesn't have to be a victory to be a success or worth fighting.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Letter From an ICE Detention Center
I was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria to a family that has been displaced from their land since the 1948 Nakba. I spent my youth in proximity to yet distant from my homeland. But being Palestinian is an experience that transcends borders. I see in my circumstances similarities to Israel’s use of administrative detention — imprisonment without trial or charge — to strip Palestinians of their rights. I think of our friend Omar Khatib, who was incarcerated without charge or trial by Israel as he returned home from travel. I think of Gaza hospital director and pediatrician Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, who was taken captive by the Israeli military on December 27 and remains in an Israeli torture camp today. For Palestinians, imprisonment without due process is commonplace.

15 March: the biggest protest in the history of Serbia!
After big gatherings in February at Autokomanda, a key traffic interchange in Belgrade, and on the Freedom Bridge in Novi Sad, students continued with new gatherings in Kragujevac and Niš, in preparation for Saturday's protest. Although the students announced that Saturday’s rally would not be the last, many imagined that it would be the day when the regime of Aleksandar Vučić fell. Even the day before the big protest, pictures and videos circulated on social media of huge columns of cars waiting at highway toll booths on the road to Belgrade. Because a large gathering was anticipated, many decided to come to Belgrade a day earlier so as not to have trouble with traffic on the day of the protest. From all over Serbia, students and activists organised marches to the capital. From village to village, city to city, they were welcomed as heroes and supported by local residents. There was a special welcome when they arrived in Belgrade, where the students had prepared thousands of mattresses to accommodate their comrades from all over Serbia.

What is the material explanation for why intellectual elites hate Israel yet support Ukraine tooth-and-nail?

For context: I’m a college senior at an elite university in NYC. Even though pro-Palestine protesters here have been heavily repressed the vast majority of faculty are pro-Palestine/anti-Zionist and very openly so. However, they are also extremely pro-Ukraine which is something I don’t understand. They keep saying Putin is an evil dictator and Ukraine needs to be supported in order to “save global democracy” or some bullshit. Yet, “save global democracy” is the exact same excuse Zios use for why westerners should support Israel. If they can understand how “democracy” is a farce when it comes to Palestine why can’t they also see how it’s a farce in the Russia/Ukraine situation?

It’s bizarre how run-of-the-mill progressives like my profs sound a lot like neocons from 20 years ago. I’m only 22 but I do activism with people a lot older than me and they’ve made this point as well. “Spreading western democracy” was the excuse Bush used to invade Iraq. Now it’s used by DEMOCRATS and PROGRESSIVES to launch war against Russia. What gives? Also, why are cultured elites the ones sounding the most neocon now?
