How do you reconcile that this revisionist is responsible for China being the only hope left for socialists? What does China‘s success change about Marxist thought?

There's no hints from bytedance that the purchase is not going to take place. Another huge cope from you.

>>2565469
The US trade war on China has been ongoing since 2017 and they sanctioned China from key techs. The US imposed 145% tariffs on China at one point which is virtually a trade embargo, something qualitatively different than the other countries. They had to back down because they realize China has the manufacturing leverage and monopoy on rare earths.

And there were never hints from them that it's going to happen. Not from the state read outs from China after the negotations or from the company.

that was from Trump extending the ban deadline, they put out that message every three months. show me any announcement from bytedance saying oracle is buying tiktok. they have to get approval from xi and that hasn't happened. also notice your date is from sept 29, 1 month before negotiations even occured about it

Wir alle – und gerade in Deutschland –, kommen aus allen Regionen außerhalb von Deutschland. Wir alle haben rübergemacht, wenn man so will. Unsere Vorfahren stammen aus Skandinavien, aus dem Balkan, aus Russland, aus Italien. Und ich glaube, das ist etwas, das wir immer im Bewusstsein haben sollten. Dass wir alle irgendwann mal, zumindest unsere Vorfahren, hierhergekommen sind. Und diese Spur dieser Wanderung tragen wir bis heute alle in unseren Genen.

>>2565278
idk, i think smith anon just posts here about whatever he is reading and has taken an interest in jevons lately, that is my charitable interpretation

>>2565390
well jevons has become popular lately for his paradox that technological improvements in efficiency can lead to an overall increase in the consumption of a resource, not a decrease, and is popular in the context of AI being a bubble and stealing jobs.

and mr smith is obsessed with robot powered UBI and saving capitalist from communist revolution.

this of course ignores the TRPF and that robots dont produce value.

and he is way beyond deserving charitability at this point, but he keeps "according to jevons" as if this is some kind of important thing everyone should know and care about. so basically hes laundering techno-fascist nonsense

>>2565403
>and he is way beyond deserving charitability at this point, but he keeps "according to jevons" as if this is some kind of important thing everyone should know and care about. so basically hes laundering techno-fascist nonsense

well yeah, he's a self admitted centrist lib but he's not going to save capitalism from communism by posting any more than we're going to defeat capitalism by posting.

>well jevons has become popular lately for his paradox that technological improvements in efficiency can lead to an overall increase in the consumption of a resource, not a decrease, and is popular in the context of AI being a bubble and stealing jobs.


I don't even see how that's a paradox. isn't it obvious that automation increases consumption of resource? A man with a chainsaw can process more wood than a man with a steel axe, and a man with a steel axe can process more wood than a man with a stone axe. This is why advancements in technology that increase the speed at which we process natural resources usually end up getting supplemented by other advancements in technology that increase the efficiency of our resource usage. Like miniaturization of transistors for example allow for more computing power to be packed into smaller and smaller chips, which is the principle by which Moore's law operated for decades. We're constantly working with changing situations.

>this of course ignores the TRPF and that robots dont produce value.


I forget what his response to this one was. Something about Marx making up anthropocentric rules I guess

>>2565418
the idea was that an increase in the efficiency of steam engines would result in less coal use, but instead the increased efficiency led to the deployment of more and more steam power driving a demand for more coal. so as computers and AI become more powerful instead of needing less computers to do the same work we will increasingly use computers for more and more things,

presumably they think the increased demand overcomes infinite growth in a finite universe and you dont have to address the contradiction of private ownership

to me it just seems like an adjacent argument to the idea that while new technology like the loom destroys seamstresses it creates job for loom repairs, which as i said ignores the trpf, and of course also ignores that the transition to a service economy relies on imperialist extraction that boomerangs back around to the domestic economy eventually as capital returns to suck the remaining juices that are left in the husk they previously destroyed

he didn't and the dispute isn't even over the land but drilling rights according to the land border. the countries are split by a river delta and guyana refuses to delineate according to UNCLOS and is illegally selling drilling contracts based on offshore borders made at a 45 degree angle northeast of the delta instead of a normal 90. its guyana trying to pull a kuwait on behalf of exxon by draining a basin that is inside venezuela by any reasonable metric

But.
It's the price the worker must pay for having a job. The job is value. If you own a bakery and pay the worker the full value for every bread he bakes, you can't buy intrigents, an oven and everything else you need to run a bakerery. You need a minimum of profit to keep it running, don't you?

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.

one of the biggest things they teach in bourgeois economics is that "actually 100% employment is BAD! because it means people can't quit their jobs if they want to and the supply of labor in the labor market will be too low!" I see it dropped casually like it's just a matter-of-fact by people, especially "influencers" who aren't even bourgeois or economists because it's repeated so often. I hate this myth so fucking much for so many reasons, but it's obviously functioning as an ideological justification for the reserve army of labor whether the people repeating it realize that or not (they usually don't even know what the reserve army of labor is). People quit their jobs because their wages are too low, instead of getting organized, because getting organized is harder than quitting and begging another porky for a job. Then when they're begging porky for another job, which can take literally months, they are getting application after application rejected for no good reason, and finally they get desperate and accept a job that is as bad or even worse than their previous job. Most people desire stable employment and a living wage and only quit their job because their wage is shit. So saying or implying that having an unemployment rate of 5-10% is "good" because "people can quit their jobs due to high mobility in the labor market!" functions to justify this state of affairs.

Porky has always opposed 100% unemployment. Pic and vid related.

Nurses, and service economy in general, is dependent on average wage and product output in a country. If you have a whole lot of dollar millionaires who want to live rich, service industry is going to be booming. And if service industry is the only fucking place that's good, why would you become an engineer?

What fucking labor aristocracy? You don't even need unions because your jobs are precarious bullshit that can be safely closed with no loss to society or even yourself

>>2564933
>Capitalist crisis destroys level of life, it's not JUST crisis of overproduction.
To separate "crisis" with "destruction of life" is asinine. You defy Karl Marx Thought. Karl Marx said all capitalist crises are overproduction. Crisis is when imperialists steal too much, not too little.
>In case of USA, crisis manifests as US goods and services as not being market competitive, i.e. American population was deemed excessive by the Hand of the Free Market
Material laws of competition and value operate to full effect in monopolist capitalism. When vulgar imperialists say that they suffer from high prices, they only demand more plunder.

>>2565182
Imperialists taxing themselves is given but UBI is an imperialist tax on all workers and peasants.

>Porky has always opposed 100% unemployment.
I'm guessing you made a mistake there, but no they haven't been, porkies sometimes liked Keynes and were trying to reach for full national employement after WW2 at least in the west, through government programs and such.
