From one hand, I would like to learn more about Nigeria since I have also visited twice. From the other hand, the fact that they speak english (although I admit it makes sense) and that they seem fully burgerized (talking about hassles and "investing" and shit) make me think its a lost cause.

what do?

pidgin is taking over the nigerian language scene

reminder that helium is a natural gas and comes from mines. They'll just make more mines to get the helium.

We'll just scrape it from the moon or something no biggie

>>2581160
The don't want us to know this, but helium comes from the inside the earths mantel and naturally bubbles up along fault lines. We have infinite helium.

>>2581160
it comes from natural gas as a byproduct. not mines.

Good. I hope we run out. If it leads to societal collapse all the better.
Communism isn't ever happening if we don't shake society up somehow, and this seems preferable to nuclear war.

Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.

everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.

Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.

Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.

I don't disagree with your point but in german Aufheben means more like to formally dissolve or abolish, like you could use it so say something like "we're dissolving the company". Entomologically it can be describes as something like to lift up/pick up, or elevate. To dispel (a curse) also works, but that has a decisively negative direction whereas aufheben is more neutral

>>2581224
Yeah, I just wanted to highlight the kind of poetic connotations of "aufheben" inherited from hegel and german gothic literature, because I think it emphasizes the notion that the things we want to "abolish" are like "spells" in that they are social relations, ghostly things that "take hold of us", rather than "things" in the analytical/positivist sense, so you don't "cancel" them directly, you "dispel" them by altering the things that give rise to them.

>>2581207
The answer is that dogmatism and schematic thinking is revisionism.
Adapting to the concrete historical and material conditions at hand is the soul of marxism, applying marxism as an abstract schema for everywhere for all time IS revisionism.

>>2581247
That's a good way to look at it, I think I agree. In a related sense I think it's also interesting that aufheben has a very formal implication, it's almost like declaring the official dissolution of something that's already no longer there, just the form remains, which will now be "abolished" because the reason for that form to exist is no longer there as a base, but it's not the aufhebung itself that ends the thing, it's more of a formal acknowledgement of the facts and making it officially over.

Its frustrating how the military goons stopped cybersoc not once but twice.
First by saying it was borgoise science when if was formulated and then ending the soviet internet later.

The biggest rebutal I see in the eyes of the average person to "socialism" and "communism" is that it's utopic, that it relies on bad assumptions, that it doesn't work in reality etc. In essence, that we're advocating for something that can't be and that we have no alternative to capitalism.
And, to that effect, what are we even advocating for ? It appears to me that we have a bunch of different movements with many different goals that don't actually ressemble one another. Yet, despite this, very few of these movements have actual "models", it just seems like they want to reform or do a revolution for the sake of action rather than purpose.
Shouldn't we concentrate on clear objectives and goals before having all this talk about how marxism-leninism-maoism-gonzalo thought is superior to cybernetic-trotskism-councilism in achieving [we run into the problem here]?

>inb4 abolition of private property, abolition of capitalism, abolition of alienation

We can't actually base our objectives around these vagues goals though, or at least not at the current time and at the forefront. Abolition of private property doesn't mean anything if there's no framework to offer an alternative or to replace it. Marx laid us many goals but, given that he didn't specify what or how, shouldn't it be up to us to conceptualize the type of system which we want in accordance with the relevant theories he proposed.

Apart from small intellectuals scattered everywhere (Cockshott, Schweickart etc), there seems to be an evident lack of clear model that actually adresses the critique of marx's ambitions and dismisses its apparent utopianism.

Shut up retard, you are too dumb to do anything but circlejerk theories 200 years old. Unions and the workers party ain't gonna achieve shit. Have you actually engaged with the world today outside your computer? This nonsense will never gain any traction in the West again.
And also, id kill myself before I ever suggested anything to do with labour vouchers.

>>2580766
Revolutionary Spain was a mess though. The anarchists refused to seize state power and ended up propping up the liberal republicans. And the attempt at post-capitalist social relations was an incoherent hodgepodge of local systems which barely worked and had to be superseded by an abortive attempt at central planning.

>>2580651
They don't though. They propose many reforms but they fundamentally don't have a way to coordinate labor whilst simultaneously negating private property.

>>2580588
>What do you think of a social network as a sort of hub for direct voluntary organisation of labour
That's a bit like parecon. Imo it could work but it's highly idealistic if it aims to suppress the bulk of production.
I could see it however in a socialist or post-capitalist setting progressively supplanting small services

>>2581203
>Imo it could work but it's highly idealistic if it aims to suppress the bulk of production.
>I could see it however in a socialist or post-capitalist setting progressively supplanting small services
Yeah, of course, it would be impossible to supplant the bulk of production instantaneously. But it is something that could as you say progressively supplant services, and work in conjunction with state seizure. As an alternative economic model it does have possibilities, and could constitute the slow withering of state control of industry.
Something I haven't seen proposed from people purely interested in taking control of the political apparatus. Both are required.

Is it impossible to be unbiased? Or is it rather that a prevalence of biased sources makes it difficult to arrive at the truth?

If we were to say that it is impossible to be unbiased, then how do you arrive at objective truth? Is it to be self-aware and honest about these biases and then to adjust? Doesn‘t this necessitate knowledge about objective truth beforehand to be able to make such an adjustment? And wouldn‘t that be a contradiction to the initial claim that it is impossible to be unbiased?

Next year marks 18 years since the Great Recession. There is going to be a massive black hole in consumption where the children of Millennials are supposed to be. A lot of people won't be turning 18 next year. They won't be on campus. They won't buy cars. They won't work and pay taxes. They certainly will never invest in the stock market or real estate.

As this happens, AI has already cleaned up the entry level knowledge work market. This process actually started in 2020 when Western students stopped paying tutors in Africa and Asia to write their crappy undergrad essays because of ChatGPT. I seriously think that if we don't beat concessions out of the ruling class in the 2030s, then we never will. They will figure out a way to install a surveillance state and abolish the proletariat with soma and techno-lobotomies.

Organize or else.

Sure reactionary. That’s exactly what happened.



 

Apparently folks are still confused about the purpose of sex education. not on here necessarily but like in general

The first and most important component of sex ed is teaching children
a) How to recognize if an adult is sexually abusing you, and
b) What to do if an adult is sexually abusing you.

Comprehensive sex ed includes other topics, including discussion of what changes your body will go through in puberty and how to have safe sex, but those can and usually do come later.

Sex education needs to start as early as possible, because if kids don't start sex ed until age X, then pedophiles know they can more easily get away with abusing kids who are younger than X.

The people most likely to sexually abuse kids are their parents, which is why we need schools, not parents, to provide sex education.  

You likely can't teach a lesson about sexual abuse to a 1-day-old baby, but you absolutely can teach a 5-year-old.  

When you hear policymakers say "kindergarten is too young to get sex education," what they are really saying is that they want to rape kindergartners and not get caught.

You are the most arrogant person on this entire forum and the worst part is is that you have no self awareness of it. You don't understand Chinese, you have no exposure to Chinese media, you have never been to any part of China, and from your previous posts have signaled that you think China is a imperalist capitalist country. If you had been born in a republican instead of democrat your fat american lardass would have easily bought into the WMDs in Iraq bullshit because all you know how to do is blindly trust what Westerners say over everyone else.

>>2581035
>gets called out for believing what western media says about China
>immediately accuses other anons of this
Also why the fuck would you ever leave China if you've been there, even if it was tourism? The Hong Kong thing was such a contentious issue for you that you happily returned to your unwalkable suburb back in the US? You didn't have any urge to stay whatsoever?

>If you had been born in a republican instead of democrat
Lmao people aren't fascists because they're born fascists. They're fascists because of concrete parasitic social and economic relations on a global scale. Relations like those that enable social fascists like you to afford that cute tourist trip to China unlike 99% of the workers of the world.
