Ultimately the critique of how any AES country operates within the capitalist global economy is the same as the critique of the worker co-op in a regional or national capitalist context, namely that it operates in said context (as if it has any other choice)

Complete nonsense statement.

>Ultimately the critique of how any AES country operates within the capitalist global economy is the same as the critique of the worker co-op in a regional or national capitalist context
Yes exactly, that is also my position.

>>2823695
It is capitalism. It is a capitalism in its D phase, as described by Engels in his supplementary writing to his "Anti-Duhring".

T. Has no actual clue wtf neo-liberalism is even supposed to be like
There are in fact very few neo liberal countries, especially since the whole point of benefitting from le free market isn't possible unless you have a weak currency that is still relevant internationally

I don't agree that this is true anymore (if it ever even was), at least not with the IWW members I interact with.
>>2823674
Syndicalism isn't inherently anarchist. There are Marxist (as you allude to, but don't say, when you mention workers councils) and anarchist variants and adherents. The IWW in the USA were mostly Marxists. "Pure anarchist" syndicalism, though, is pretty much dead, because unions have become mostly co-opted and controlled by the capitalists. If syndicalists were to play a role in a revolution, they would have to be like in Kaiserreich, where you have a cooperation between the Marxist and Anarchist adherents.

>I don't agree that this is true anymore (if it ever even was), at least not with the IWW members I interact with.
Waiting for an annual report from the IWW sympathizers of my organization to come list their newest complaints, it never ends.

>>2823737
IWW is so weak, tiny, and disunited that it's probably a case of an certain groupings just being worse than others. I think it's still too early to write off the modern version, which it remains to be seen if it will even continue to grow into the future.

I remember when my local IWW tried to unionize the canvass of a local collectively-run food share.
Now, of course I support unionist, but as canvassing for this group was one of my first gigs….
We only accepted cash going door-to-door, and had honor system pay ("Just don't take more than 40% of what you received) got high on our way to work, and stopped at a liquor store after finishing the turf everyday. Also got a free all you can eat organic dinner every night.
One of the IWW organizers shoved down a 75+ year old woman who was a collective member. I won't share his name but the last name is the same as a river. Very toxic and violent individual
Like most IWW efforts, this one failed miserably.

No, anarchism does not mean "workers make policy", it means anarchy. Stop the bullshit.

>When did socialism challenge Western culture? I noticed in the latest Trump visit to China all the Chinese guys were wearing Western style suits. When fans of the USSR want to defend them, they use Western values to do so, e.g. they were more feminist, industrialized quickly, reached space, etc.

>Dunno, all those things about women being property, tradicional useless medicine and christian theocracy. No biggie I guess.
I'm not sure socialism was originally a generalized anti-Western ideology.

>I'm not sure socialism was originally a generalized anti-Western ideology.
Bro it's futile arguing with modern hitrelites who think Western=gay. The socialist movement participated in the destruction of the barbarity of european culture, just like it did with the barbarity of chinese culture. Culture relativism is a joke.

>As a construct, there was surely a time without it.
Some evolutionary scientists point out the reason humans domesticated themselves is because people who displayed certain behaviour were either killed or women refused to breed with them. An argument can be made that this is partily where morality came from.
So eh, I would say morality represents something deeper even if the idea is a construct

As US stock market hits new highs, 2 of 3 Americans are cutting back on spending, survey shows
A separate gauge of consumer sentiment released last week by the University of Michigan fell to a record low this month. Soaring gas and food costs have worsened inflation that is outpacing the average growth in paychecks, reducing most Americans’ purchasing power. Americans have soured on President Trump’s economic policies, polls show, potentially creating problems for Republicans heading into the midterm elections.

Trump officials to send Ebola-exposed Americans to Kenya rather than bring them home: NYT
The Trump administration wants to send U.S. citizens living abroad who are exposed to the deadly Ebola virus to Kenya rather than bring them home, according to new reporting by the New York Times. Three people familiar with the Trump administration's plans spoke with the NYT, which noted that previous administrations brought Americans home for observation and treatment.

Trump administration proposes NDAs for federal workers to crack down on leaks to journalists
Former government employees would need "written permission from an authorized agency official" to speak to journalists about information the Trump administration deems "confidential" after leaving their jobs, according to the draft. Former employees who violate that rule could face civil and criminal penalties, according to the draft. The U.S. government would be entitled to all "royalties" that employees receive from disclosing information that violates the agreement, according to the draft. The OPM did not immediately ​offer further explanation.

France: Statement by Nikos Maziotis for Evening of Support for Anarchist Prisoners
From Domokos prison in Greece, anarchist prisoner Nikos Maziotis sent a message of solidarity on the occasion of the Let’s Make a Front evening organized by Secours Rouge Toulouse in support of anarchist prisoners around the world.
"Dear comrades, thank you for inviting me to the event you are organizing and I send you a big hug. I also send a big hug to all detainees, revolutionaries, anarchists, anti-capitalists around the world. There is a direct link between the struggle and solidarity for the release of political prisoners and the revolutionary struggle for the overthrow of the international system of state and capital. As we used to say here in the past, whoever forgets the prisoners of social and class war also forgets the war itself. However, unfortunately, the relationship between solidarity, imprisoned activists and the fight against the state and capital is not obvious and does not apply in many cases to at least some of those who define themselves as a movement. Regarding solidarity, speaking of the Greek space, there are all kinds of divisions regarding the position towards imprisoned activists. Divisions linked to the differentiation between legal and illegal means of struggle, armed struggle and urban guerrilla warfare, their defense or the invocation of their innocence. …"

The international significance of Erdoğan’s preemptive coup against the CHP in Türkiye
The regime of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Türkiye is staging a preemptive political coup before the eyes of the entire world. Erdoğan first removed the elected leadership of the Republican People’s Party (CHP)—the main parliamentary opposition party and leading party in the polls—through a politically motivated court ruling, then ordered riot police to forcibly seize the party’s headquarters. What is unfolding in Türkiye is not a purely national event but a manifestation of an international collapse of democratic forms of rule rooted in the deepening crisis of the capitalist system. US President Donald Trump, having lost the November 2020 elections, mounted a failed coup on January 6, 2021, seeking to remain in power illegally. Erdoğan, for his part, is attempting to forestall a likPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

ok sure thing buddy. i wonder if it's easier for them to be """"socialist""""" because they're drowning in money and don't have to pay taxes?

Much like with the British crown or anti-masonry: they don't matter much anymore. Not in the sense that they lack soft power or wealth but destroying them won't bring transformative change, they arent main characters in 2026.

catholics are a rape gang that cover up the crimes of raping children. They go around the world and traffick children. They deserve much worse than appropriation. Their supposed social values not withstanding.

I think more generally there is a complete decline in the quality of the arts, it's a similar phenomenon in cinema or litterature. Nothing has any meaning anymore, its just made to sell a maximum, having a controversial message isn't going to seel when you average activists is still going to buy a milquetoast one. And whatever message is going to be done isn't going to criticise the compagnies producing it.
Honestly, mainstream music could be done by an AI and nothing would change, they're already made in a group of comitees.

>a high prison population has nothing to do with fascism on its own
correct
> it's more or less a marker of high poverty than anything else
to an extent. I can't help but point out that the USA has the largest per capita prison population on earth despite being one of the richest countries. And yes the prison population doesn't tend to be rich, but the average American in a prison is still richer than, for example, the average Zimbabwean who is not in prison.

death to Italians regardless of ideology

>>2823282
well the main difference is a country with a high income inequality (like the united states) is going to have a higher prison population per capita, mainly because it needs a disposable yet long-term labor force, if you look at that graph it started rapidly accelerating around HW and plateaued by the end of WII, it's not particularly uncommon for countries to develop in this way, i'd hardly call australia authoritarian despite the fact it also has a high rate of incarceration, and massive use of penal labor, mainly because these things are done even in the most lax nations as well, it's similar in countries like brazil as well, you'll see it in countries with no real instability either, basically it doesn't really mean anything to refuting the point so i think it's ultimately pointless in bringing it up
