A peasant, a shepherd, a simple worker from Donbass, he became the leader of the most powerful country in the world. Was such a thing possible under capitalism?
"I learned to count to 30, and my father decided that learning was enough for me," Khrushchev recalled. "All you need is to learn to count money, and you'll never have more than thirty rubles anyway. My father dreamed of saving up, returning to the village, and buying a horse to grow enough potatoes and cabbage to feed the family. But we never got a horse. My parents cherished this dream even after 1908, when we finally moved to Yuzovka. There, my father worked in the mines, my mother washed clothes, and I cleaned steam boilers."

I think it’s interesting to observe the pattern of technological development in Africa compared to NATO. A lot of what’s being made there is surprisingly specific, pragmatic, and efficient compared to many new western technologies that often serve as solutions to problems western companies make.

Technologies built around mobile systems; efficient use of clay, cement, and steel metals; decentralized utility and logistics systems; a lot of work related to solar power which im happy for; some oddly specific technological developments surrounding armoured cars, surveillance, and border security etc.

From what I infer a lot of this behaviour is driven organically by the geographic conditions of the continent in general. Many of the resources on the continent are stretched across vast distances, sparse/scarce in supplies, and broken up by unusually poor terrain. This often means that any technological developments made are unusually way more specific, pragmatic, and efficient in use for immediate and existing problems compared to tech made outside of it where figures or promises on features surrounding what the tech can do. Sometimes, this does *alot* to change how people approach life. It’s only recently that a lot of changes were made so that desert sands and earth could be used conventionally at scale to produce modular construction kit—this is huge on construction in general since it offers a way to build on the scale that china did *without causing the same level of ecological destruction*.

What happened to Trump's freedom cities, and other techno-feudist projects?
Trump in 2023 made a promise to build 13 new cities where there would be near-zero environmental or labor regulations, effectively giving corporations their own fiefdoms.

This project as of 2026 has been stalled and instead trump is obsessed with his ballroom.

Why was the soviet union dissolved when the population voted against it?
I thouht the proles were supposed to be in charge? Did ML's lie to me? I dont believe it.

>people on the first world unionize for better wages and labour conditions
>companies flee to the third world for more profit
>people on the third world unionize for better wages and labour conditions
>companies flee to ???

why hasn't this happened yet? it seems like the easiest way to revolution

the commanding heights of the economy should be state owned. commodities essential to the survival of the society should be collectively owned by society. commodities essential to the survival of the individual should be the property of the individual who intends to use them, after they have been produced by society. production of commodities not essential to the survival of the individual can be produced by worker owned cooperatives that are limited by the state in number according to production plan, that way you don't have a whole country of people running off to make vidya games for a living when there are ores to be mined and surgeries to be performed. add in labor vouchers with a clear date of expiration and periodic decay from the date of distribution, so labor vouchers do not accumulate into a reinvented money capital among spendthrifts. Keep statistics on necessities so they are not produced just in time as needed, with only a small buffer surplus, to avoid the problem of food waste. Encourage frequent days off and healthcare checkups for preventative care, so that serious medical interventions are needed less often, and problems like cancer can be nipped in the bud early. If the population begins to age too much, resulting in too many retirees to take care of, while birth rates decline… fuck. I haven't figured that one out yet.

If you think about it…

The ACP is basically all the worst parts of CPUSA combined into a single reactionary party that exists to cry about all the other orgs, coup subreddits, support the petitie-bourgesisie, and be transphobic.

What’s with the hate on Japan about xenophobia. WW2 hate is valid, but hating them for immigration is stupid if you don’t criticise China on it.

If you gonna hate Japan for that then you have zero idea how strict China is.


>Xenophobia Japan
/leftypol/: NUKE JAPAN
>Xenophobia China
/leftypol/: Well actually….

Obviously if we were in charge of government there would be a variety of options but what can we personally do right now to prevent the monthly mass shooting done by some neo-nazi. This cannot keep happening. Surely there must be something we can do.

Multipolarsisters? How could this happen? I thought random third-world dictator number #387499 was going to be the one to finally defeat the west? This guy was supposed to be finally be the one too! As they say the 99999th times the charm.
