EPA moves to limit scope of clean water law to reduce amount of wetlands it covers
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday it is redefining the scope of the nation’s bedrock clean water law to significantly limit the wetlands it covers, building on a Supreme Court decision two years ago that removed federal protections for vast areas.

Democrats seek to halt Trump’s reported plan to sell off student loan portfolio
The Democrats argue it is illegal to strip borrowers of certain protections and the Trump administration in the sale of the portfolio could go after income-driven repayment programs, death and disability discharges and relief for those defrauded by their schools. It could also cause losses to the taxpayer, according to Democrats. The law states the student loan portfolio cannot be sold at the expense of the taxpayer.

Interview With the PFLP Political Relations Abdullah Al-Danan — “Resistance Lives in the Hearts of the Palestinian People”
After all the dramatic events from October 7, 2023, up to the ceasefire, how do you assess the situation in Gaza? Do you believe Israel will abide by the ceasefire and the other agreed-upon terms?
The situation in Gaza is, of course, dire. There are more than 70,000 martyrs, over 10,000 missing persons, and more than 100,000 wounded — many of them amputees. As for adherence to the ceasefire, we do not trust this Zionist entity or this enemy. We have no faith in its promises, nor in those who have guaranteed this agreement. (Israel, editors note) has already violated the deal. Today, three martyrs were killed in Gaza. This morning, the ceasefire was breached in the eastern part of the Strip — just as it has been in Lebanon, where the number of violations has now exceeded 6,000. We have no confidence in this agreement. As some officials noted today, even the American president declared that he would give the green light for renewed bombings if Hamas failed to return the bodies of dead Zionist captives. This agreement is not guaranteed — unfortunately. But there are also factors preventing this entity from continuing the war in Gaza as before. Israel has not achieved any of the goals it set out at the beginning of its aggression. Not a single one. As Netanyahu himself admitted in the Knesset, he paid a heavy price in Gaza for attempting to free the Zionist captives. At first, the aggression began with the occupation of Gaza. Then came economic projects aimed at turning Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East,” followed by divisions between Arab and international forces.

The BBC ‘coup’: A ruling class at war with itself
In the 1940s, the BBC lied about the extent of anti-colonial sentiment in India to justify British rule. And then, in the 1950s, it whitewashed British atrocities in Kenya. In the 1970s, the BBC explicitly ramped up its pro-Tory bias in the face of industrial unrest, reaching a pinnacle in the 1980s, when it doctored footage of the Miners’ Strike to cover up police violence. In the 2000s, the BBC was weaponised by the ruling class to whip up support for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. And in the 2010s, it repeatedlPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

there's a lot of 'definitions' of what 'communism' is as a mode of governance or a state of affairs, but one that I personally find useful is that Communists understand politics as essentially class warfare, as a fundamentally adversarial relationship between 'Capitalists' - those who 'own' the 'means of production', things like factories, housing, equipment, land, resources, but do not need to perform labor to survive - and the 'Proletariat' or 'Workers' - those that do not own property, but must sell their labor to the capitalist class to survive.

the power dynamics at play mean that the Capitalist class will always pay the Proletariat less than the actual value of their labor, keeping the majority of the value that the laborers created for the Capitalist class as Profit. If they did not do this, they would by definition not have any profit whatsoever. but since they do, the capitalist class has more resources with which to control and direct society.

so Communists, using this analytical framework, seek to engage equally in this class warfare on behalf of the Proletariat rather than the Capitalists. Communists seek a 'class dictatorship of the proletariat', or a state of government that serves the needs and interests of the Proletariat rather than those of the Capitalist class. This often looks something like a representative democracy in function, the difference is in the domination of the capitalist class by the proletariat class, rather than vice versa under capitalism. where a capitalist democracy is ruled by those with the most money (and therefore power/influence over media/social life/the material conditions that reproduce society), a proletarian democracy is ruled by a Communist Party which is constituted such as to reduce the influence of the Capitalist class, with strict ideological requirements and vetting of prospective members, and maintaining democratic rather than private control over the means of production.

historically illiterate, ignoring the massive, massive amounts of capitalist repression of emerging socialist governments. your argument is basically 'Well the nazis are so good at fighting i guess its a bad idea to fight them', pure cowardice, self-serving nihilism, imperialist apologia at worst.

>>2564330
I will be honest, I would not fight the nazis if I had no chance of winning. Would I sacrifice myself if life under nazism was dogshit? Maybe. But you cannot ignore that most communist faults are self-inflicted. Infighting and forcing everything to be under one umbrella creates so many unsolvable problems. Imagine trying to regulate every facet of your body, the breathing, the sweating, the digestion, your brain would be exhausted if not dead from overwork. And yet AES countries did exactly that. Notice how the socialist countries that had higher standards of living allowed for more independence.

Ukrtankanon, champsoc, you wanna get in on this? The dog pile looks like the Pentagon's new target and I can't be arsed to config DeepSeek to generate counter Claude content.

Flat out lies, given that the Soviet Union industrialized, that China went from a war torn shithole, to a nuclear power shit hole, then to a technological juggernaut approximating Western demsocs without electoralism.

Honestly, at this point, thank you for convincing me that Trotskyites should succeed somewhere in the West, just to break the Western propaganda line and give strength to socialist movements, as much as the Russian and Chinese revolutions broke the capitalist cordon in semi periphery and periphery countries.

USA

1. Universal health care. Start with single-payer (Medicare for All) then expand to full nationalization. Cut long-term costs by emphasizing preventative care.
2. Massive public housing program. Vienna on steroids. Housing should be so good that everyone wants to live in it. Full unconditional housing should be the goal. Should look aesthetically pleasing for PR purposes.
3. Nationwide high speed rail connecting all lower 48 states. Should be cheap and fast enough to compete with airlines.
4. Reinvestment in NASA, funded by seizing all of Elon Musk's assets. First goal should be a second moon landing.
5. Permanent revival and expansion of the Civilian Conservation Corps, acting as a full training and employment program.

Country: Argentina

1. Massive development of football public infrastructure

2. Massive nationalization of meat industry and weekly distribution of free asado in government plazas, effectively turning them in the de facto core of the life of the people

3. Massive propaganda psyop campaign that will convince people that Argentina has effective control over the malvinas, while throwing free meat and football players at the UK in order to make them shut up

4. Lunfardo as official government language, pertaining bureaucracy, law, education… Massive pressure to the UN to teach translators lunfardo in order to use it in international councils

5. Massive psyop campaign that will target the capital and convince it that its exorbitant privilege is entirely legitimate, while at the same time deploying a parallel campaign in the provinces that will convince people that the state is actually decentralizing, while in reality absolutely nothing is being done but everyone's happy

Maybe Chinese just dont care about western opinions and instead focus on cooperating with 3rd world countries.

respond to what and why.
If the west had a organized and sound comparty with a shot to take power it would make sense for the chinese to fund propaganda thinktanks etc for them but you dont what are they supposed to fund propaganda for you to win internet arguments better they spend it on a bridge somewhere.

>>2563639
I dont see any massive pro-China agitation in the 3rd world either. And if it there was it would also be on the internet for all the world to see and experience as well.

and they're called german ashkenazis

a robust computer industry means ready access and easy production of high-tech military equipment like missile guidance systems, drones, electronic warfare equipment, etc., and if nothing else, 'AI' investing will ensure that computers and hardware are supported industries.

additionally, it is possible that a relatively sane society like china can find genuine uses for LLM tech. imagine if american technology wasn't led by idiots like Musk and Altman, but instead by qualified people with at least some education in marxist and related theory.

for example, while i don't think 'AI' should necessarily replace all human operation of vehicles, it would be useful to control more complicated aspects of certain vehicles or other equipment. for a fun sci fi example, something like a small mech or larger powered armor would likely need some kind of automatic limb control for basic walking and movement, while a pilot (or a program if you are anthro-pessimistic) designates directions or waypoint coordinates. Your only other option is some kind of brain-machine interface for something like that. for a more realistic modern example, many fighter jets have computerized systems handle the finer details of the maneuvering of the plane, keeping it stable and reacting reliably to control inputs, while the human pilot applies guidance via the control stick and various buttons etc.

meanwhile americans just use new tech to generate low quality goon material and lobster jesus facebook memes to scam the elderly with.

behind all the "AI" hype nonsense there are actual useful products like better automatic translation and machine vision to help with tasks like >>2563313
