Ryan Grim: New DC Think Tank Staffed Entirely By Robots (Seriously)
Understanding how to most effectively wield influence in Washington can mean the difference for a foreign government between a coup and a bailout. The high-stakes great game has attracted industries filled with advisers ready to walk you through the process for a healthy retainer. Finding the right firm can be a challenge. At least one government appears to have tried to solve the problem by conjuring a think tank/lobby shop from their own imagination, or that of Chat GPT. Check out their website before they take it down. Enjoy this latest story from Waqas Ahmed, Murtaza Hussain and me — it’s a doozy.

Mark Fisher :Exiting the Vampire Castle
Inside the Vampires’ Castle:
The first configuration is what I came to call the Vampires’ Castle. The Vampires’ Castle specialises in propagating guilt. It is driven by a priest’s desire to excommunicate and condemn, an academic-pedant’s desire to be the first to be seen to spot a mistake, and a hipster’s desire to be one of the in-crowd. The danger in attacking the Vampires’ Castle is that it can look as if – and it will do everything it can to reinforce this thought – that one is also attacking the struggles against racism, sexism, heterosexism. But, far from being the only legitimate expression of such struggles, the Vampires’ Castle is best understood as a bourgeois-liberal perversion and appropriation of the energy of these movements. The Vampires’ Castle was born the moment when the struggle not to be defined by identitarian categories became the quest to have ‘identities’ recognised by a bourgeois bigPost too long.

tbh the takeaway might be that propaganda of deed is more effective now due to social media and the attention economy that comes with it.

There's plenty of reasons to think he was framed and didn't actually shoot Brian Thompson (e.g. a careful look at security cam pics of the masked guy), and that the latter was assassinated to cover up an insider trading case. Someone clearly didn't think of the massive support Mangione would get, remember mass media and porkies alike seemed genuinely surprised and upset at the support and quickly went full damage control afterward, with media narrative switching to the drone bullshit and then coverage of Luigi dying out after he plead not guilty

He saved a lot of innocent people's lives by also making it lame to shoot school kids.

>>2100979
I supported Mangioni until the Libtards did, now I support Brian Thompson

> If there's a good idea in one of those books start a discussion on it.
concepts in books build on top of each other. it is better to read a book cover to cover and get each concept in its full context as it is built on top of previous concepts. If you only discuss one random concept at a time you end up with holes in your knowledge. I know because I tried learning math out of order when I was young and wasted a lot of time.

I’m not the other anon, but bad faith rodents like you should be smashed with a big old rock for helping to promote fascism on the only socialist forum on the entire internet

I hope you die in pain and humiliated 🫣

>>2107748
nta but i agree the rare times magacoms appear they are routinely mocked off the board by all sides

its also kinda ironic to bring up stupidpol when their policy is practically identical to ours with moderation allowing open fascists to post as long as they are "polite"

>>2107678
>society isn't a math text book
agreed and never said anything to the contrary

they're big on recycling (see sponge cities) and their effort to combat desertification seem to be quite effective and large scale (see the great green wall)

Comunist China leads the way in clean energy. The foundations of solution to climate change are layed. Communist China has saved the world

China is the world leader in non-fossil fuel energy sources and many cutting edge so-called green technologies, however as the world factory and a key/central node in contemporary world capital, China is one of the world’s greatest polluters, potentially the greatest of the non-Western countries

A lot of people think of primitive accumulation is an ongoing process in capitalism and particularly so in the context of colonialism.

Colonialism, fascism, witch hunts and a number of other systems (which are often dismissed as "idpol") are parts of the ongoing cycles of primitive accumulation which rise to a high during times of economic crisis.

>>2108551
Federici's "Caliban and the Witch" is often recommended in this context but unfortunately it's really bad history which goes way too heavy into the whole feminist witch hunts mythology. There's definitely something to talk about witch hunts and primitive accumulation but this idea that these people were heretic communist witches is silly.

Japan wasn't imperialist. Read a fucking book(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

>>2107339
The bourgeoisie everywhere has an imperialist character now, it has been like that for a very long time… But people are still living in the past when the USSR was legitimizing its own nationalist policy trough the support of bourgeois dictatorships opposed to the US under the pretense of national liberation. Only now those fascists don't care that Russia doesn't even pretend to be socialist, it's all about supporting the hecking wholesome oriental bourgeois

>>2106664
Japan and Korea were only considered western during the cold war, nobody in the 19th or early 20th century called them western, or more so european/white, I don't think western was used in general before the cold war, Maybe as a contrast of "Oriental" but it definitly doesn't carry the same meaning as it does now.

Serious question for you guys.
Isn't abandoning a winnable direct confrontation with international capital as global system to fund national liberation via proxy wars also just abandoning proletarian internationalism in favor geopolitical pragmatism. I find it strange that online Maoists side with the soviets over the split.

>>2107350
>Japan and Korea were only considered
>>2107342
>Japan wasn't considerated
They werent western until they were imperialist and werent imperialist until they were western. Its practically a euphemism for imperialist. More importantly what exactly is the point of your pedantic quibbling? Does it change the fact that they are considered Honorary Aryans? Does it make Japan and Korea not imperialist or not western today? When people talk about the underdeveloped world and oriental racism, are they talking about Americas best friend of Anime and Katana? Do the authoritarian tankies get triggered when people call Japan imperialist because theyre not caucasian?
