yeah the more risky the behavior, the greater the reward, but the greater the likelihood of injury, imprisonment, or death. So always bet on people doing low-mid risk behavior more often than high risk behavior… unless it's really addictive and provides an immediate reward, like drug use…

Akshually what you’re probably referring to as “revolutions” were just bourgeois nationalist struggles. Revolutions happened in industrialized countries (Germany, Hungary) but were defeated due to Bolschevik mandated opportunism (I piss on an image of Radek every morning)

Can’t because that’s bs. They were defeated due to internal issues, not because of the bolsheviks.

That is the only place where revolution is possible, actually. Hitler got one thing right, Slavs are genetically, racially predisposed to communism.

>>2694889
Balkan is also too developed, you cannot have a revolution without proletariat. in Slovenia, maybe 30% of people are proletariat. In 1945 it was more like 80% which is the critical mass needed for class struggle and revolution.
Obviously you can still have class struggle, but it will be class struggle of proletarians + petite bourgeoisie versus national bourgeoisie, which will mean that private property will still be preserved in the end, just limited.

And he was objectively wrong. Also he was a unfortunately a western supremacist and his idea that socialism will happen in the west is a form of his cope, he WISHED that socialism would happen in the west first, because he believed in superiority of western civilization.

Fuck yeah

Napoleon was objectively historically progressive and yet he worked very hard to secure an alliance with the arch conservative Russian empire. Material analysis doesn't work on lib principles

fidelity =/= realism. There's very obvious detail loss with incorrect detail in-filling that would take less time to just figure out how to draw in that style than attempt to prompt-wrangle.

It seems like fleshtubers really want AI to be string theory 3.0. I get it's because how blatantly tied crypto and AI are to each other (see all the cypto shilling on moltbook) but still astonishing the tone never changes at all.

It is important to the modern day issue in Japan and ignoring it isn't going to make it go away. Also the reasons you listed are literally made in the post including memory, nationalism,etc. So don't get the post except they didn't like pointing out post-Meiji Restoration Sinophobia

Yeah, I agree that aside from the revisionist ussr being cynically opportunistic with their third world allies, there's no substance to the charge of the USSR being "social imperialist" in the way maoists mean it

Later mao went full retard, what more can be said, old age ain't a joke

I mean he could've mentioned in passing "lol that alienation shit was kinda cringe in retrospect, I was on edibles when I wrote that shit, sorry lads"

>>2694826
Why would he? If Althusser was right, Marx wouldn't have had to, because alienation and the imperative to return to more "authentic" relations of production would be inherently foreign and irrelevant to any of the theoretical work starting with Capital. It would be like if Caesar, after crossing the Rubicon, had explained in detail, why it was not a necessity to continue the campaign against Gaul, at that time.

U.S. commission fights states on prediction markets: "We will see you in court"
CFTC chair Mike Selig said Tuesday that the commission is filing a friend-of-the-court brief in cases where "American prediction markets have been hit with an onslaught of state-led litigation." The CFTC will "defend its exclusive jurisdiction over these derivative markets," Selig said in a video post. "To those who seek to challenge our authority in this space, let me be clear — we will see you in court."

US judge blocks deportation of Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi
The judge, Nina Froes, had ruled last Friday that the evidence that the Trump administration had submitted to the court was not admissible, due to an inability to “meet its burden of proving removability”. According to the judge’s order, the government failed to properly authenticate a memorandum purported to be signed by US secretary of state Marco Rubio.

Randy Fine faces censure and resignation calls over post on Muslims and dogs
A wave of Democrats are calling for Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) to be formally reprimanded or to resign over a social media post he made saying he would choose dogs over Muslims. Fine posted on X on Sunday: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) in a statement Tuesday called Fine “a disgrace to the United States Congress” and “an Islamophobic, disgusting bigot.”

Can unions and the left help shape post-Starmer Labour?
KEIR STARMER shows no capacity to respond to the ongoing fallout over Peter Mandelson’s appointment to Washington — which has engulfed the whole Labour Together faction key to his own rise to power. Nor to the demand, put more forcefully than before by a group of affiliated unions (including the biggest of all, Unison and Unite) as well as most of the party’s remaining socialist MPs, that Labour abandon the faction fights and start to act democratically as the political wing of organised labour. Nor even to world-changing shifts in the global order. His call to raise military spending faster doubles down on existing policy. We cannot expect a meaningful assessment from this government of Marco Rubio’s chilling demand for a new era of colonial expansion and what new conflicts it may embroil us in. It will continue to shuffle along shackled to the United States, mumbling the hypocrisies of the past while obeying the diktats of unrepentant gangsters.

Marcos Jr. Sells Out PH Patrimony, Feeds the US War Machine in Critical Minerals Deal With Trump
The US push for a critical minerals deal with the Philippines is not geared toward building lasting national industries in the country. To date, there are no binding commitments to establish full local processing capacity or ensuring technology transfer. Instead, this critical minerals pact with the Marcos Jr. regime is focused on integrating the Philippines’ substantial reserves of copper, nickel, and cobalt into a US-controlled supply chain. This pattern of resource predation extends beyond the Philippines. In Venezuela, the US escalated military aggression, abducted President Nicolás Maduro, and now exerts control over the country’s oil outputs, boosting Venezuelan oil exports to the US while displacing Chinese offtake. In January 2026, under US control, Venezuelan oil exports climbed to about 800,000 barrels per day, with approximately 284,000 barrels per day going to the US, as Chinese imports fell. This shift serves US imperialist interests, recompenses major US oil companies such as Chevron, and entrenches Trump’s grip on Venezuelan natural wealth at the ePost too long.

>>2694276
They were into "Western civilization" but Perifidious Albion ended up playing a big role as a negative image in fascist propaganda as plutocratic imperialists vs. fascist Italy as a "proletarian nation." Different from Hitler in that he was a supporter of British imperialism from early on and saw it as a natural ally.

I can't really follow Dugin anyways because he's too schizo. But RT types like to do this thing where they're not Western and they're challenging the West, while also sharing "the West has fallen" stuff pulled from white nationalist propaganda.

>>2694290
Dugin is not a serious person. His role is to be a controlled opposition to the far right and prevent them from going against Putin, just like Zyuganov is controlled opposition to the far left.
That is why far right Duginism always results in ultrareactionary religious purity spiraling, Putin knowing full well that without some kind of societal collapse this will never be dangerous to the Russian state. In doing so, Dugin effectively sidelines the racialist ideologies that could be very dangerous to Russian Federation, precisely because it is a multicultural state not only as a fact (due to it's size), but because Russian elites genuinely and sincerely believe in multiculturalism. Many Russians are pissed that immigrants are being imported and Dugin's job is to redirect that anger to "religious impurity" and "decay of Orthodox values", then purity spiral into such a degree that nobody in his movement really understands what they are fighting for anymore. Zyuganov of the right wing, like I said.
