This is just kvetching and fake news made up by Zionists to justify their immigration to Israel. Jews in the USSR were treated no differently than anyone else.

It was a tank, just call it a tank. They also killed around 1000 people, iirc.

I thought the Soviet Union was a Judeo-Bolshevist plot to kill Christians…

>Yeah the hardliners tried to coup the government and failed.
They weren't "hardliners". They were Gorbachev's own handpicked men. And there are theories, that Gorbachev himself was behind it, and others, that Kryuchkov [the main ring leader] had a secret deal with Yeltsin.

The referendum was to update the USSR in a new union of independent and free republics, not to keep the USSR as it was

I am unable to remember the exact place i discovered this but its pretty obvious from just class warfare in general.

At some point we are probably gonna see Luddite riots and bombings against ai development, we are already partially seeing it.
What is the material reasons for this and can anybody find an example?

But if clerical tasks are already accomplished by smaller local models, is there really a point to the data centers? Tangentially, I think massive investment deposited into centralized data centers is halting development of AI elsewhere e.g. local inference models, so even if someone concludes that LLMs are productive you steal need to account for the particular mode of "compute distribution" being a productive net loss

>and they blame technology, not capitalism
oh no, the original luddites absolutely blamed the social relations that led to their livelihood being destroyed by the tech more than the tech itself, but its way easier to destroy a machine than the socio-economic system you're in, and so they destroyed the machines to extract concessions



 

Is it fair to say that most of the culture wars that take place in American politics are merely fights between the petite-bourgeoisie (small business owners) and the PMC?

The ruling class doesn't seem to care about the cultural bullshit since they're not really affected by it. Likewise, the working-class doesn't care about cultural issues all that much either and really only cares about short-term economic stuff like the price of gas. Many of the conservative cultural attributes that are thrown on to the working-class are actually the traits of the petit-bourg (being anti-abortion and anti-queer, for instance).

Right now, in the era of social media, it seems like culture wars and "symbolic crusades" are at an all-time high. Interestingly though, much unlike the culture wars of the 80s-2000s which were lead by the right, these contemporary culture wars seem to be mostly lead by snarky white liberals who overwhelmingly make up the PMC. Take, for instance, something like the backlash against Olivia Rodrigo's babydoll dress: for decades liberals pushed "choice feminism" and told people to stop attacking what women wear, yet now seem very concerned about what women wear. Olivia's dress is an issue for them because they associate it with pedophillia, which of course they link to Trump and Epstein (never mind the fact Olivia is a proud liberal herself who works with Planned Parenthood and pro-Palestine organizations). On an almost identical note, multiple liberal women have raised hysteria over big retail chains like Target and Nordstrom selling milkmaid dresses, calling it "tradwife coded" and saying it's indicative that women's civil rights will be taken away. Obviously, this is bullshit. How could something as petty as a milkmaid dress destroy the decades of feminist struggles in America? We also see this very clearly with the "clean girl" aesthetic being demonized as right-wing or "eugenics-coded" with the heavy makeup/blue eyeshadow look being championed for being (allegedly) progressive. For a leftist, all of these things are simply a case of consumer identity vs. consumer identity.

But that's not the point. The real issue in these contemporary examples is that snarky liberal white women fear the decline of their social and cultural status. Jill from Manhattan is mad that Fynnleigh the Mormon tradwife has more TikTok followers than her, even though what Fynnleigh does in her home in Utah has no effect whatsoever on Jill.

How does this analysis square with the fact that even university educated types in Europe are increasingly voting far-right after enough contact with problematic immigrants from Africa and Middle-East? The same people who used to vote for centre-left and centre-right parties are switching to populist right and far right by the millions.

>>2827274
  1. Because there are many factors at play: there are some educated people with no taste, for example.
  2. Centrist parties have generally been incompetent and self-destructive
  3. The center right also tends to appeal to uneducated types. 58% of Germans with only "basic education" voted CSU (32) or AFD (26) vs 40 with higher education (27 CSU, 13 AFD), and I chose Germany at random as an unsympathetic example. (The UK is a total victory for this theory)

The superstructure reflects the material base. The trouble is that people don't get into the underlying material factors driving culture.

IMO contemporary politics have largely been driven by the slow proletarianization of white-collar jobs which is increasingly putting the cultural hegemony of capitalists into crisis. The reactionary shift is a temporary measure as reformism has ceased to satisfy the masses.

>The Urning [book by K. H. Ulrichs] you sent me is a very curious thing. These are extremely unnatural revelations. The paederasts are beginning to count themselves, and discover that they are a power in the state. Only organisation was lacking, but according to this source it apparently already exists in secret. And since they have such important men in all the old parties and even in the new ones, from Rosing to Schweitzer, they cannot fail to triumph. Guerre aux cons, paix aus trous-de-cul [war on the cunts, peace to the arse-holes] will now be the slogan. It is a bit of luck that we, personally, are too old to have to fear that, when this party wins, we shall have to pay physical tribute to the victors. But the younger generation! Incidentally it is only in Germany that a fellow like this can possibly come forward, convert this smut into a theory, and offer the invitation: introite [enter], etc. Unfortunately, he has not yet got up the courage to acknowledge publicly that he is ‘that way’, and must still operate coram publico‘ from the front’, if not ‘going in from the front’ as he once said by mistake. But just wait until the new North German Penal Code recognises the droits du cul [rights of the arse-hole] then he will operate quite differently. Then things will go badly enough for poor frontside people like us, with our childish penchant for females. If Schweitzer could be made useful for anything, it would be to wheedle out of this peculiar honourable gentleman the particulars of the paederasts in high and top places, which would certainly not be difficult for him as a brother in spirit.

In 2024, somebody posted a clip of a somebody making the point that a trans woman whi didn’t disclose their gender transition status before having sex with a man was being deceptive and thus was raping him, which some leftists found to be controversial: https://xcancel.com/secondbyfarce/status/1852772181073445357

Some here may find the position of the guy in the video to be disconcerting and triggering, but within the context of consent in sexual intimacy, he is right since he is merely applying the logic of rape-as-lack-of-consent to its logical conclusion.

Because let’s face it: Consent, as pointed out by figures such as Harry Hay and Michel Foucault, is just liberal contract theory as applied to sex, and a contract is made void if you enter under it under false pretenses, and let’s not pretend that contracts are made in a vacuum, as whether a contract is or isn’t valid isn’t a neutral judgement made by an impartial figure, as much as being done by the powers that be (e.g., the state) under dominant or bourgeois cultural diktats.
So unless you think consent shouldn’t be absolute when it comes to sexual relations, then a trans woman having sex with a cishet man without disclosing “her” pre-transition gender is rape as much as sex by deception is rape, and neither are criminalised even in the most feminist countries like Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, and France. So what does it say about consent theory if not even the most feminist countries on Earth criminalised sex by deception as rape?

Then of course, there’s the issue of the AoC, a draconian and absolutist bourgeois piece of legislation used by the capitalist bourgeoisie to morally discipline the working class into anti-proletarian bourgeois morality since the days of William T Stead’s infamous yellow press journalism. In this case, a person under the magic age line cannot (legally) consent to sex with someone above the magic age line. Common idealist talking points often allude to an inconsistent and arbitrary notion of “mental maturity” that is heavily subjective depending on who uses it, whilst obfuscating the meat of the issue: It’s not that people below the magic age line are incapable of being willing sexual and/or romantic partners, it’s just that the state decided that the magic age line makes the willingness of the Post too long.

It really seems like you are leaning on age of consent being a class-related thing, somehow, to justify pedophilia. I'm not saying that's what you are doing, OP, but it really seems like you are really pushing the edge of idpol bullshit right now. Do you or do you not want to fuck children. Let's just clear that up real quick and avoid any vagueness. I will quote you directly to free myself of bias:

Bolivian Justice Nullifies Arrest Orders Against Union Leaders
The Second Anti-Corruption and Violence Against Women Sentencing Court of La Paz ruled this Friday, May 29, 2026, to nullify the judicial capture orders issued against Mario Argollo, Secretary General of the Bolivian Workers Union (COB), and Vicente Salazar, Executive leader of the Túpac Katari Peasant Federation. This judicial decision invalidates the previous arrest mandates that had forced both prominent union leaders into hiding during the massive social mobilization demanding the immediate resignation of President Rodrigo Paz Pereira and an end to his administration’s neoliberal policies.

National Registry fails to dispel repeated fraud concerns of Colombia’s left
The software continues to be the property of the controversial company Thomas Greg & Sons, which is owned by two convicted fraudsters. Because this company has claimed that its software is a trade secret, IT experts of the Historic Pact have not been allowed to conduct audits that would allow them to confirm the software’s code can’t be altered. “Without a proper audit of the election software, there can be no full confidence in the process,” said the political party in a statement earlier this month.

Conviction of Spokane ICE Protesters Raises Free Speech Concerns
With the conviction of three anti-ICE protesters in Spokane, Washington on federal “conspiracy” charges Thursday, civil rights advocates and legal experts fear that the Trump administration may have just been handed a powerful tool to criminalize dissent. Jac Archer, Justice Forral, and Bajun Mavalwalla II, nicknamed the “Spokane 3,” were indicted last year for their actions at a protest in June 2025, where they attempted to physically obstruct ICE agents from transporting two Venezuelan immigrants to an ICE processing facility in Tacoma.

155 years since the Paris Commune: Who shall rule society?
One hundred and fifty-five years later, the 1871 Paris Commune remains one of the clearest guides to understanding both the possibilities and the limits of revolutionary struggle. Its enduring significance lies not simply in the fact that it was the first historical attempt by the working class to establish its own power and confront the bourgeois state in practice, nor in the extraordinary heroism of the Communards, but in the lessons it provided on the central question of every revolution: What must be done with bourgeois power?

Burning Britain: This record heatwave is a sign of what’s to come
Up and down the country, many people have been enjoying the sun over the bank holiday. As one of the most overworked populations in Europe, this rest has been very welcome. But this week’s temperatures – with highs of 35°C breaking the record for the hottest temperature in May – are exposing how unfit Britain is for the threat of global warming, and how the impacts of climate change are felt unequally. Hell on earth: During the infamous 2022 heatwave – when temperatures hit 40°C – 3,000 excess deaths were reported. 999 operators reported a 500 percent spike in heat-related calls. Studies on ‘heat mortality’ show that the most vulnerable to high temperatures include those living in the most deprived households, the elderly, those with chronic health conditions, as well as black and Asian communities. If you’re lucky enough to live in good health, in a large house in the suburbs with air-conditioning, or drive to work, then heatwaves are heavenly. But if you live in cramped housing, have to commute on stuffy public transport, or suffer from a chronic health condition, heatwaves can be hell on earth.
