Militaries emerged primarily as institutions for securing wealth rather than territory. Early organized violence could have been driven by the need to protect trade routes, seize productive farmland, monopolize valuable resources, and enforce tribute, with political borders forming later as a byproduct of sustained economic extraction rather than the original objective. Militaries developed as mechanisms for managing large populations of ambitious young men whose competitiveness threatened internal stability. By channeling status-seeking, aggression, and risk-taking into campaigns against external rivals, societies reduced domestic conflict while rewarding martial success with prestige, wealth, and opportunities that might otherwise have fueled feuds or political unrest. Militaries originated less to defend against outsiders than to consolidate power within early states. A ruler with a permanent armed force no longer depended entirely on temporary loyalties from local clans or nobles, making it easier to suppress rebellions, enforce taxation, and transform personal authority into centralized government. External warfare then became as much a justification for maintaining the army as its original purpose. Militaries may have arisen as ritual institutions before they became effective fighting forces. Public displays of discipline, uniforms, ceremonies, and collective sacrifice could have served to bind otherwise unrelated communities into a shared identity, with the practical business of warfare growing out of cultural traditions that already celebrated organized violence as a marker of civilization and belonging.

> militaries are inherently somehow Marxist-Leninist
also really only an idiot would ever argue this. it's completely cart before horse. Marxism Leninism requires militancy, but that doesn't make militaries inherently Marxist Leninist. Were the Wehrmacht and JIA inherently Marxist Leninist?

>>2885198
can you defeat the military unarmed or do you need a military of your own

You know how some wehraboos swear they aren't actually fascists and just like Nazi aesthetics and military? I think the opposite happens with some socialists in that they don't actually believe communism and instead just enjoy the Red Army and Cold War aesthetics.

well yeah that's definitely a thing but I don't get that out of OP based on the text alone.
>>2885198
I think in most countries cops are worse than soldiers because cops are all volunteer while soldiers are usually drafted. In a few countries like the USA you have an all volunteer army, which really does make them the "World Police."

Not to use the "clean wehrmacht" excuse, just to point out that no revolution has ever been won without significant defection from the military, usually in really bad conditions. You can accept defectors from the military but you can't let them become the intellectual leaders of the revolution otherwise you'll just end up with Bonapartism.

Under capitalism, cops, scabs, criminals are all byproducts of underemployment, which is a byproduct of the reserve army of labor. Capitalists know that a 100% employed society is easily unionized and difficult to scab against, so they need a reserve army of labor of desperate unemployed people who can be brought in as scabs. They also need a churning labor market with high turnover rates. the more people ragequit their jobs and spend a few months looking for new ones, the less likely people are to deal with their problems by unionizing, since that requires a long term commitment and they'll have become used to just ragequitting jobs they don't like. Another thing is when there's unemployment people turn to crime if they can't get the money they need to pay rent and buy food. Capitalist society deals with the problem of crime not by getting rid of the conditions which lead to crime in the first place, since that would interfere with capitalism. Instead Capitalist society throws more pigs and prisons at the problem. This is why more unemployment = more scabs and more criminals = more pigs and prisons = less unions. Interestingly criminals and cops are treated as being "against" one another but this is kayfabe. Cops use criminals as informants, witnesses, and assistants in corruption. Criminals can also be brought in by cops to help scab and break strikes. Also when there is high unemployment, a dumb guy who doesn't want to become a criminal or a scab will just become a cop instead. In a really shitty society like USA one of the only only work forces left with strong unions are cops, because they are universally armed, nearly impossible to strike break, and are themselves strike breakers, so the bourgeoisie tolerates them being unionized and highly paid, since they perform a useful function. Since the prison system also supplies scabs through convict leasing, cops turn criminals into scabs by throwing them in prison. The only conclusion one can come to is that under capitalism, cops, criminals, and scabs have a mutually symbiotic relationship and their populations grow in proportion to one another, the root cause being the chronic unemployment required by the bourgeoisie as a systemic feature.

>capitalis love 100% employment
No. That accelerates the falling rate of profit.

that's not how it works at all. it is capital that sustains the capitalist system, that's what capitalism is is a system based the perpetual recursive accruement and leveraging of surplus capital, and one of the most foundational and essential forms of leverage is the formation of a highly-indoctrinated middle-class majority population. it is very difficult for a small group of oligarchs to rule a country of hundreds of millions of poor starving rabble who have nothing to lose, but give at least 60-70 percent of them some meager level of privilege and comfort and subject them to lots of constant indoctrination and the country will largely rule itself without the need for very much micromanagement. it's when the unemployed poor become the majority is when the capitalism system really begins to fall apart.

>>2884402
>>2884403
The state is an instrument through which one class oppresses another, because a class-based society is characterized by irreconcilable antagonisms between property owners—both against one another and against those who lack property—which inevitably lead to conflict. For this reason, an entity separate from and alienated from this society emerges to provide a certain hypocritical “order” that maintains the ruling classes in power within a class-based society.

The industrial reserve army is necessary for capitalists to intensify the exploitation of workers; otherwise, instability and a decline in profit rates will occur, hindering the accumulation of capital in a capitalist system within a bourgeois state.

The state is not a neutral entity and it cannot have any opportunity to subdue the workers. Scientific socialism and revolutionary socialism are incompatible with any demand to empower the bourgeois state to repress the workers and take away their independence so that the proletarian class cannot organize, arm itself, and seize power to disarm the bourgeois class and its agents.

I will begin with excerpts from the political program of Marx and Engels that demonstrate this position and outline some points regarding how to combat the problem of the industrial reserve army of workers:

<4. Universal arming of the people. In future armies shall at the same time be workers’ armies so that the armed forces will not only consume, as in the past, but produce even more than it costs to maintain them.

<Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels March, 1848, Demands of the Communist Party in Germany

Here is another quote from Lenin that illustrates my point:

<The party of the proletariat cannot rest content with a bourgeois parliamentary democratic republic, which throughout the world preserves and strives to perpetuate the monarchist instruments for the oppression of the masses, namely, the police, the standing army, and the privileged bureaucracy.

<The party fights for a more democratic workers’ and peasants’ republic, in which the police and the standing army will be abolished and replaced by the universally armed people, by a people’s militia; all officials will be not only elective, but also subject to recall at any time upon the demand of a majority of the electors; all officials, without exception, will be paid at a rate not exceeding the average wage of a competent worker; parliamentary representative institutions will be gradually replaced by Soviets of people’s representatives (from various classes and professions, or from various localities), functioning as both legislative and executive bodies.
[…]
<11) Judges and other officials, both civil and military, to be elected by the people with the right to recall any of them at any time by decision of a majority of their electors.

<12) The police and standing army to be replaced by the universally armed people; workers and other employees to receive regular wages from the capitalists for the time devoted to public service in the people’s militia.
[…]
<As a basic condition for the democratisation of our country’s national economy, the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party demands the abolition of all indirect taxes and the establishment of a progressive tax on incomes and inheritances.

Peruvian cardinal hails $150m lead poisoning settlement for 1,300 people as a ‘historic milestone’
A Peruvian cardinal who received a barrage of death threats when he challenged the firm behind a toxic smelter has called a $150m (£111m) out-of-court settlement to more than 1,000 people who were allegedly poisoned by the plant as children “a historic milestone”. Cardinal Pedro Barreto, 82, was in Rome meeting Pope Leo XIV and other cardinals in June when he received news that the firm that ran the smelter, the Doe Run Company, a subsidiary of Renco Group, would pay $150m to 1,373 Peruvians who have suffered health impacts since childhood.

Reporting from Gaza with Palestinian Poet Ahmed Sarsour
“It’s not just about what’s happening in Palestine, it’s happening everywhere. The same forces that are controlling the world, the capitalist and imperialist forces, they are the ones who started the war in Sudan, and they are the ones waging wars in communities in every country in the world, like in Congo and Turtle Island, and Cuba and Venezuela,” Ahmed Sarsour tells me. It’s the afternoon of Friday, June 26, and Sarsour is struggling to stay on the call amid interruptions in electricity. The 33-year-old Palestinian poet is speaking to Unicorn Riot from his birthplace, his grandparents’ home in the center of Gaza in the city of Deir Al-Balah. Shaken but still standing after three separate bombings, the house sits adjacent to rubble from their neighbors’ former home. The local mosque has also been destroyed.

Sanae Takaichi Cannot Resolve Japan’s Economic Crisis
Japan has been in a prolonged economic crisis, with the yen reaching a 40-year low in value at the start of July. Takaichi was elected in part due to her bold economic promises. While there has been some debate, Takaichi is generally seen as a Keynesian politician who aims to stimulate the Japanese economy through major investments in key industries tied to advanced technology and the defense industry, favoring multi-year budgeting over single-year budgets. She has further promised to relieve consumer costs by lowering Japan’s 8 percent tax on food sales to just 1 percent. Elected largely due to her economic promises, Takaichi has been unable to pass much of this agenda, even with her party’s supermajority. Instead, she has had to rely on intervention from the United States, which stepped in late last week to prop up the yen. Whether or not this intervention succeeds in stabilizing Japan’s economy, it signals the Japanese government’s own inability to address the issue most impacting Japanese workers. It also further reinforces Japan’s subordination to the United States at a time when the United States is increasingly weak and unable, or unwilling, to act as a reliable ally, even to its most sycophantic partners.

all of these pieces of shit have the same crucial fault where they can't distinguish the master prompt from your own prompt, from its own output, from inputs from other sources. and the stupid robot needs to reevaluate all of these sources with each interaction. no one has a fix for this, it's an incredibly crucial fault. the chinese ones are even worse because to keep costs down, they will regularly summarize all of these inputs and outputs, blurring the picture more and more with each interaction, but presumably chatGPT and claude will start slimming down context as well, except they won't tell you when and how they will start trimming context. retarded CEOs do not understand this fundamental limitation, so they leave these things executing by themselves indefinitely, quickly accumulating context until the machine starts guessing erratically based on erratic context. this is why there are so many posts about angry CEOs screaming their lungs out about whatever AI misbehaving. there's no fixing this behavior, you either limit what they can do on your environment, thus capping this stupid idea of these being defacto human replacements, or you risk the stupid thing deleting all your shit whenever.

‘Danger no longer only comes from the hitmen, but from the state’: the Honduran farmers labelled terrorists for protecting their land
Located in north-eastern Honduras, the Bajo Aguán valley is a fertile region that has been the country’s hub for palm oil production – the ubiquitous ingredient used in everything from shampoo to instant noodles. It has also been the site of a bitter 30-year conflict over land, involving small-scale farmers, or campesinos, large palm oil corporations backed by the government, and drug-trafficking groups.

Centrist Democrats Keep Making Awful Health Reform Proposals
As the start of the 2028 Democratic presidential primary nears, various policy institutions will offer up health care proposals for candidates to adopt. One such organization, the Searchlight Institute, jumped the gun a few months ago when it released Making Health Care More Available, a package of reforms headlined by a proposal to make primary care free for everyone. Overall, I find the Searchlight Institute’s proposal to be generally overstated in its significance and quite strange and cruel in its particulars.

Relying on a little public ignorance, they spun a short-lived and potentially orchestrated civilian incursion into yet another code-red threat to civilisation as we know it. But don’t get distracted by those dangerous games. It’s the deranged response to the event by governments across Europe that shows how powerful the right has become across the continent.

>Leftwing Spain

News anon, I love you, but check yo shit on this one. Spain is not leftwing, and PSOE is far from socialist even though the word is part of its name. It's the Spanish equivalent of the the labour party of England, only more generally succdem in discourse and aesthetic and in some aspects of foreign policy, mainly for show.

But PSOE is responsible for more than half of all privatizations of Spanish SOEs, and prominent party leaders have held high positions in private companies involved in this process, such as the energy and banking sector, after their political career. So dont get fooled, they are neoliberal scum all the way, only slightly less shitty than their right wing counterparts
