Why not both? Climate change will trigger conflicts that escalate into WW3, resulting in billions of deaths.

Amazon’s first U.S. labor union moves to affiliate with Teamsters
In a post on X, the Teamsters said the affiliation was unanimously approved by the union’s board on Tuesday. The affiliation agreement is tentative until members of the ALU and the Teamsters vote to ratify it, Smalls said in a text message. The decision has already generated pushback from the ALU Democratic Reform Caucus, the group that sued the ALU last year. Arthur Schwartz, an attorney for the caucus, said it was unclear how the ALU will hold a membership vote to ratify the Teamsters affiliation when it “doesn’t possess a list of employees, much less a membership list.”

ACLU Plans Lawsuit Over Biden's Trumpian Attack on Asylum Rights
On Tuesday, the ACLU said Biden's policy will "rush vulnerable people through already fast-tracked deportation proceedings, sending people in need of protection to their deaths." "We intend to challenge this order in court," Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, said in a statement. "It was illegal when Trump did it, and it is no less illegal now."

CP of Greece, European elections in Greece: The vote for the KKE sends an anti-imperialist and anti-war message
An important difference in the election campaign, which the KKE is conducting to enlighten the workers, is the one concerning international developments, the involvement of the EU and Greece in the imperialist war in Ukraine, as well as in the massacre of the people of Palestine. All the bourgeois political parties are silencing the developments on the war fronts and hiding the causes of the conflicts, the responsibilities of the EU, as well as of the USA and NATO. In contrast to the bourgeois parties, the KKE notes that the European Union, together with the USA and NATO, has a leading role in imperialist wars and interventions. It supports Israel, the occupying state which has fomented genocide against the Palestinian people. It heavily funds and arms it to shed the blood of the Palestinian people. It supports the imperialist war of Saudi Arabia against Yemen and in the name of fighting the Houthis, under the pretext of protecting navigation, it has set up the imperialist operation Aspides (Shield) alongside the US-British Prosperity Guardian operation. Together they are setting fire to the Red Sea region, multiplying the risk of a general conflagration.

Right-Wing Extremism Is the Norm in the Dominican Republic
No one in the Dominican Republic was surprised when businessman Luis Abinader of the Partido Revolucionario Moderno (PRM) managed to get himself reelected in the first round of the presidential elections on May 19. He obtained 57.4 percent of the votes, well ahead of his competitors Leonel Fernández of Fuerza del Pueblo (FP) with 28.9 percent and Abel Fernández of the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD) with 10.4 percent. The polls and four years of a government with barely any coherent political opposition predicted this result. In addition, the policies of the three leading candidates were almost indistinguishable, which partly explains the low voter turnout.

wheres the proofs

Define these terms in accordance with your subject matter before attempting to continue this thread and discussion:
>Trend
>Right wing
>Recent polling
>Consistent theme
>Zoomer men
>More right wing than ever

> more right-wing than ever
wym its not like young men are going back to church and advocating for segregation. more right wing than ever seems a bit hyperbolic considering how conservative men were in general 100 or even 50 years ago

>>1876214
>There has been a trend of right-wingers failing to meet the expectations of recent polling, why is this the case?
I think it's because they try to astroturf themselves into power and polls can also be manufactured to create the impression of momentum that is not really there. As with so much related to reactionary movements, the question is not so much "is this a scam?" as "what is the scam?"

Retard. I won't lie that there aren't many unstable communes that fall apart, but there are a few success stories as well. Read about East Wind and Twin Oaks, both going strong over 50 years.

stupid idea because most income at the top end comes from capital not labor. So a "maximum wage" wouldnt mean shit other than giving CEOs more compensation in the form of stocks rather than wages.

>>1876182
Not nescessarily, it can also just kill those buisnesses faster or it can make the inflation worse. An example of the later is Elons wages, which 99.99% from stocks, meaning either some dividens or stock sales. Artificially reducing his wage means reducing the stock price, to compensate from the reduction of investment into the company, either workers salary would have to be lowered or prices raised. This would increase inflation.

>complete with the repressed homosexuality.
Mishima wasn't a homosexual. He had a wife and kids and slept with women. He was a samurai larper and pre-Meiji Japan was a bisexual society where sexual relationships between older and younger men were idealized. Mishima's nationalism created an edgy fascination with homosexual behavior. Mishima didn't really get or care about the Buddhist ideology behind nanshoku. He only cared about it because of his ethnonationalism and edgelordism.

<Surplus value in general is value in excess of the equivalent. The equivalent,
by definition, is only the identity of value with itself. Hence surplus value can
never sprout out of the equivalent; nor can it do so originally out of circulation;
it has to arise from the production process of capital itself. The matter can also
be expressed in this way: if the worker needs only half a working day in order to
live a whole day, then, in order to keep alive as a worker, he needs to work only
half a day. The second half of the labour day is forced labour; surplus-labour.
What appears as surplus value on capital’s side appears identically on the
worker’s side as surplus labour in excess of his requirements as worker, hence
in excess of his immediate requirements for keeping himself alive. The great
historic quality of capital is to create this surplus labour, superfluous labour
– 250 –Grundrisse
from the standpoint of mere use value, mere subsistence; and its historic
destiny [Bestimmung] is fulfilled as soon as, on one side, there has been such
a development of needs that surplus labour above and beyond necessity has

Im not a fabian reformist. My point about socialism is extremely orthodox however, that it is aboit politically representing the working class, as opposed to eliminating it from self-consciousness by individualist obscurantism like anti-work rhetoriticians do.
Its funny that you imagine me a villain when i want labour given toward its self-determination (which would also mean lower working hours in general), when the post-work types thrive on the notion of a superabundant marketplace which would depend on contemporary imperialist conditions.

<The creation of a large quantity of disposable time apart from
necessary labour time for society generally and each of its members (i.e. room
for the development of the individuals’ full productive forces, hence those of
society also), this creation of not-labour time appears in the stage of capital, as
of all earlier ones, as not-labour time, free time, for a few. What capital adds is
that it increases the surplus labour time of the mass by all the means of art and
science, because its wealth consists directly in the appropriation of surplus
labour time; since value directly its purpose, not use value. It is thus, despite
itself, instrumental in creating the means of social disposable time, in order to
reduce labour time for the whole society to a diminishing minimum, and thus to
free everyone’s time for their own development. But its tendency always, on the
one side, to create disposable time, on the other, to convert it into
surplus labour. If it succeeds too well at the first, then it suffers from surplus
production, and then necessary labour is interrupted, because no surplus
