I don't understand how socialism works.
How is it even possible to end private ownership in current situation?
You guys are talking about a social takeover that ends private property by decree, but is anyone able to manage all that?

What happens to all companies then?

I ask this question because I don't consider myself a very dumb person, I studied socialism before but I still don't understand very well what it is apart from some abstract idea of ending private ownership because it allows exploitation, but the "next step" always seems weird.

Let's use this as an example: I once worked for cruise lines, I was a crew member on a cruise ship, and those companies were created by individuals and that is how theu operate.

How, in this case, take as an example Norwegian Cruise line, what would happen to it in a socialist society?

People work there, you can't just stop stuff from functioning.

What does this mean? Practically, scientifically, it means that we overproduce by 70%. Liberating the productive forces means liberating these 70% and using them for free time, recreation and scientific advancement. Liberating the productive forces does not necessarily entail more industrialization, as some would have you believe.

I've been thinking about drones, especially small FPV ones. Everyone talks about how its going to change warfare yada yada. But the really disruptive thing is that it enables individuals to target the ruling class much easier.

Think about guns for example. Before guns, you needed to have expensive armor, swords, shields, spears, bows and extensive training to be a lethal soldier. Only the elites could afford that, and that's why peasant/slave revolutions were not only few and far between, but they all were brutally put down quite easily.

Once guns came into the picture, the elites were not so safe anymore, and there came about a change in political structures to accomodate the masses more both politically and economically.

Now I think drones are another step in this direction. Indivuduals can easily build drones, and with advances in AI, then can just create a program instructing it to fly and identify a wealthy elite and kill them. With proper op-sec, someone can release a drone a mile away in a forest, set it on its kill path, and then run away.

The elites can be killed en-masse with the security forces having a very tough time trying to counter it and identify the perpetrators. Now all of this is theoretical of course, but technological acceleration is going to make this a reality much sooner than you think.

This is why I think the push for mass surveillance is happening. The elites are aware that there is a material change coming in the relative military power of organized armies and disparate dissident lone wolfs. Mass surveillance is the only way to ensure they can counter the lone wolfs.

Comrades, the absolute refusal on this board to engage in electoral harm-reduction proves that 90% of you have never actually read 'Left-Wing Communism': An Infantile Disorder.

Lenin explicitly argued that revolutionaries MUST participate in bourgeois parliaments to exploit their internal contradictions and expose them from within. Voting for the bourgeois center-left isn't "capitulation"—it’s a tactical maneuver to buy time for the working class while developing the productive forces.

In fact, if you look at how modern AES (Actually Existing Socialism) operates, tactical compromises with global capitalism are literally standard dialectical practice. Demanding total ideological purity while material conditions aren't ready isn't Marxism; it's just utopian anarchism painted red.

Material conditions don't care about your feelings.

Given the factors you would consider relevant within your region: local, national, surrounding geopolitical climate, etc… What policies could a party active in that region–currently existing or otherwise–work towards that both you would either agree with or critically support, and believe would be popular in said region?

Bonus:

• What factors did you consider when answering the above?
  
• Do you know of other regions with similar conditions, and would your answer be the same if you lived there? If not, why?

Japanese 'Arab resistance fighter' Kozo Okamoto dies at 78
Okamoto joined two other members of the Japanese Red Army in an attack on Lod Airport, now Ben Gurion Airport, near Tel Aviv on 30 May 1972. The three men arrived on a flight from Europe before retrieving rifles and grenades from their luggage and opening fire. Okamoto’s two comrades died, while Israeli forces wounded and captured him. The attack, organised with the PFLP, killed 26 people, including 17 Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico, and eight Israelis.

Concerns of Palestinian economic crisis grow as Israeli banks prepare to cut ties
The move comes against the backdrop of the Gaza war and deepening friction between Israel's right-wing government and the PA. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, ​who oversees the waiver mechanism enabling cooperation between Israeli and West Bank lenders, has repeatedly withheld a portion of tax revenues Israel collects on the Palestinian ​Authority's behalf and publicly questioned the PA's legitimacy, straining an already fragile financial relationship.

Despite Turkish mediation, talks between Somalia's government and opposition stalls
Representatives of Puntland and Jubaland believe that President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud did not show sufficient flexibility or willingness to make concessions on issues related to the federal elections, which, in their view, contributed to the breakdown of the negotiations.

The most sobering part about revolution is knowing that common people cant do shit against a government unless the military or police defect or unless they have massive outside support in terms of funds, arms and training and even then they need broad popular support. This is the reason that if any country today went overtly fascist the individual will have absolutely no agency in deciding their own fate unless they flee the country beforehand and if the country in question is a global power not even that qill save you. If the state is after you, you cant fight, you cant run and you cant hide. They will get you where ever the fuck you go and you cant even hide a single second of your life from them if they decide to go after you with the ir resources. Every single one of us is literal property of the government and you not experiencing death/torture/mutilation/inprisonment/rape and much more is the mercy of those that rule you. Soon we will have mind control and quantum computing so not even your thoughts will be sacred anymore. Nothing you own including your rights, possesions and even body is truly safe. The day you realize this is the day you grow up and become depressed like a real adult.

Why is there no massive outrage of Ann Widcombe being murdered. Like not even 10% the outrage of Charlie Kirk being killed. I didn’t even know she was murdered I thought she was just some old chud who died of natural causes.

Of you’ve followed recent news, then it’s not hard to see that an increasing portion of young men are turning to the right whilst the left is greying its hair. Part of the reason is due to the “4chan-ification“ of mainstream social media which, depending on whom you ask, is occurring either because big tech has found that the best way to retain young males is by turning their apps into 4chan, or because of the right-wing turn within the big tech cartel that has successfully lobbied the US government on its behalf for years on end, itself since as liberal democracy falters so fascism is unleashed to protect capital and part of it involves turning normies into chuds and wignats to prep them into war mode jingoism.

But something else is at play, and that would be how the left (especially left-liberals) has often adopted ageism for opportunistic reasons, whether it’s by dismissing the concerns of young men even when they’re part of their own electorate, belittling their opposition by infantilising them, or when they dismiss criticism of them by using adultist language (e.g.,: “Let the adults in the room speak”). Now, not everything I mentioned is exclusive to the political left, as plenty of rightists and centrists use the same tactics I mentioned. Nevertheless, it doesn’t do mainstream leftists any favor when they do it too out of political and rhetorical expedience as well as to dismiss opposition against them in facile ways.

But it’s not the elders who are at fault, as younger leftists are responsible for the current predicament by either validating these adultist beliefs or by remaining silent on it. An example of enabling would be ”puriteens” who will vociferously try to shut down any discourse on sexuality (even if it relates to that of LGBTQ+ youth) based on ageist premises, and they’re partly the reason for the resurgence of purity culture among zoomers.

And then there’s the obvious unwillingness within most leftists to challenge ageist laws such as the voting age limit and the current age ID regimes that are spreading across the world. So their inaction isn’t just enabling the oppression of youths, but that of everybody else as well.

I could list many other problems, but you get the point: If the left really wants to gain ground among young people, they should campaign for the self-determination of young people too, for…
