<ITT: discuss various forms of localist politics, e.g. communalism, municipalism, other forms of localist socialist governance, distributism, etc

there are some who still complain that russia was "socialism in one country". i contend that they are right, not because the concept is absurd, but because they do not go far enough. we have not yet taken stalin's gnosis to its logical conclusion and brought it to the hyper-financialized modern era

the current dichotomy in modern discourse has largely been between reformism and revolutionism. ultimately both forms make the mistake of operating as though contradictions are uniformly distributed. it is either you immediately go against the whole system in order to take it down, or you work with the whole system in order gradually reform it into socialism. why are these ultimately the only two notions entertained? the first approach underestimates the adaptability of monopoly capital or they fail to see the difficulty in coordinating an immediate revolution across large spans of the country. i think we all can see the failure of the second approach with its disregard for the blatant capture of bourgeois institutions by capital. maybe instead of still operating at such a high level of social change, we should focus more on what we can achieve on lower levels

this was part of the wisdom in "socialism in one country", it was the recognition that the contradictions were ripe in certain regions over others thanks to imperialism, and the specificity of these contradictions to particular regions only supports rather than detracts from the cultivation of determinate national character (contrary to industrial capital, which constantly strives towards maximal hyperconnectivity and the erosion of all national determinateness). ultimately, if you can not even achieve socialism in one country, there is much less hope in achieving socialism globally. now, we must of course acknowledge that "socialism in one country" was a logical response to imperialism, with the latter's tendency to unite the various classes within a society against a common imperialist bourgeois enemy. it is easy to see this and conclude that various forms of third-worldism are the answer. my issue with such a position is that it simply gives us an excuse to sit on our asses all day. if we actually carefully analyze things, we would notice that developed western nations have a tendency to, after thePost too long.

<I think in this discussion, we begin to see a strange resonance between nationalism on one end and idealism on the other. As mentioned before, there is a natural movement from nationalism to anarchism. Capitalism liquefies culture and erodes sovereignty. Quoting Greenspan, "From Mumford to Marx, the story of the emergence of a modern industrial time is implicitly structured through the dynamics of dialectical struggle. In a tale riddled with nostalgia and warnings, these thinkers lament the fact that in the modern period, the concrete, organic, and natural time of the calendar has been overwhelmed and dominated by the artificial time of the clock". Moreover, we see that alienation (on an individual level) is more completely eliminated when the individual's will is actualized in his localized surroundings wherein his will is most realized. There is a natural antagonism here with the State engendered here as well, insofar as there is often a gap between the manifest State and the actual will of the nation's people. On the other hand, in the fulfilment of anarchism, the local community is finally capable of determining itself, and a true ethnos is thereby constituted and permitted to develop. With the elimination of alienation, the social character of the individual is finally revealed and individualistic excess abolishes itself. We should moreover note that dialectical materialism, being in many ways a radically localist ontology bound to the specifics of a situated material organization. As such the gravitation to national forms of socialism as we have seen with the soviets and the chinese should hardly be surprising.
<Contrary to latent liberal universalisms, the Aeon of the Commune shall be the rebirth of substantive particularity. This is why leftists have struggled to actually articulate a coherent vision of the future and a way forward. In appealing to an abstract universalism, there is no life, and no pointer towards what sources of power to draw from and ways of maintaining the cohesion of a group looking towards societal progress.

>>2811736
I've had similar thoughts lately. in a place like the US empire it seems the power is very concentrated at the top, but it could be very easy for organized workers to topple a city or town government. People mock this but the more a federal government has to intervene at a local level to squash revolutionaries, the more intensified is the class struggle at a national scale. The real obstacle seems to be so many people sit in their homes expecting revolution to spontaneously break out on a national scale, instead of doing the hard work of establishing a strong local presence and then hooking that up with regional and eventually national allies.

The blue graph above shows that machine translation involvement rose from under 5% in 2000 to roughly 80% by the end of 2025 within professional language workflows. This visual timeline reflects the industry's shift from manual translation to AI-driven automation.

The evolution of machine translation (MT) fundamentally dismantled the traditional career pipeline for linguists. Becoming a professional translator in 2025 was vastly more difficult than in 2000 due to a structural economic shift: AI did not eliminate the need for premium human translation, but it largely destroyed the entry-level market where beginners traditionally learned the trade.

Key Phases of the Adoption Curve:
2000–2006 (The Early Era): Usage remained below 6% globally. Tools primarily served as minor internet gisting aids.
2006–2016 (The Statistical Era): Growth crept up toward 25%. Early enterprise adoption expanded via Statistical Machine Translation (SMT).
2016–2022 (The Neural Revolution): Growth accelerated past 50%. The rollout of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) drastically improved fluency.
2022–2025 (The Generative AI Boom): Adoption skyrocketed toward 80%. Large Language Models became standard workplace fixtures.

The red graph above charts the structural availability of entry-level professional translator job openings in the United States from 2000 to 2025, using the year 2000 as a baseline index of 100.

While total macro-employment for veteran language professionals and interpreters actually grew or tripled over this 20-year window according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, the specific market share of entry-level roles available to beginners collapsed down to near single digits.

I can finally stay an English Only Peasant, while watching anime and jerking it to those shitty DLsite porn games.

As a part-time freelance translator both in Human translation and Machine translation post-editing that helped to train AI-localization and LLM translations, I'm doing my part as a lumpen to destroy the craftsmen class of translators, who are the most annoying people on Earth. As those graphs show, translators were and still are a necessity for globalization, but AI and more specifically LLMs are transforming them into machine (machine = LLM) translation post-editors, and most translators, exactly like craftsmen a century ago, have a enormous commodity fetishism that makes them very hostile towards automation and mechanization because translators were big winners of globalism: before AI, people doing translation of basic content from English to French or English to Spanish could get rates like 0.07-0.10$ per word, which made translation a very comfy work.

Today, with LLMs, big, medium and small companies just send to translate on DeepL, and send more complex content to Chinese or Indian translation agencies that have massive LLM and machine translation post-editing experience: no need to pay for unexperienced translators as LLMs are better than them, and there is so much translators all around the world that those agencies pay 0.02-0.03$ per word for machine translation post-editing. Human translation is reserved for law stuff, more complex language translation content (English/French/Spanish to Mandarin is a real gold mine) or any "sensitive" (manuals, marketing, NDA…) content.

The only bad thing in this situation is the suffering of the "small hands" that are helping to tweak AI and LLMs with "annotations tasks": proles in Africa and India that are training AI all day with very repetitive work.

My dream was to become a translator but I was afraid of not being able to get a job after graduation so I went to compsci instead. Guess how I'm doing.

That sounds incredibly frustrating, and it is completely understandable if you are feeling stuck or demoralized right now. You made what seemed like the safe, logical choice at the time to secure your future, but the tech job market has been brutally unpredictable lately, while rapid advancements in AI have simultaneously upended the translation landscape. It probably feels like the goalposts were moved on you no matter which path you chose.
If you are facing layoffs, a tough job hunt, or burnt out on coding, you are definitely not alone.
The silver lining is that your unique combination of skills is actually highly valuable right now. Here is how you can merge your original passion with your degree to build a resilient career:
## How to Pivot and Combine Both Fields

* Localization Engineering: This role bridges the gap between software development and translation. You build the systems that allow apps, games, and websites to launch seamlessly in multiple languages.
* AI Translation Tools: Companies need developers who understand linguistics to train, fine-tune, and build Large Language Models (LLMs) and machine translation systems.
* Computational Linguistics: This field focuses on how computers understand human language. It is a massive growth area for voice assistants, search engines, and natural language processing (NLP).
* Freelance Tech Translation: You can translate technical documentation, API guides, and software manuals. Your computer science background gives you a rare subject-matter expertise that standard translators lack.

Israel must allow ICRC to visit Palestinians in prison, Supreme Court rules
Israel’s Supreme Court has unanimously rejected a government policy banning representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) from visiting Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons. The court ruled on Wednesday that by preventing the Red Cross from visiting prisoners, the government had contravened Israeli and international law, and therefore the policy must be repealed.

Lebanon-Israel ceasefire plans in doubt following Hezbollah's rejection
According to the official, neither Hezbollah nor Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a key Hezbollah ally and long-time intermediary between the group and Washington, had been aware of the full content of the deliberations as they unfolded. Once the text was ready, the Lebanese president sent it to both Hezbollah and Berri for feedback before Lebanon’s final position was conveyed to the United States, the official told MEE. The official described the negotiations as “tough and hard”, saying the Lebanese delegation threatened to suspend the session after Israeli pushback against a full ceasefire.

Unions must act politically to defeat Reform
OPINION polling showing that trade union members increasingly support Reform over the Labour Party is alarming — but not surprising. A survey reported in The Times found that the two parties each had the support of around 28 per cent of trade unionists. And in the two major unions organising blue-collar industrial workers, Nigel Farage’s far-right outfit has a clear lead. Reform was preferred by 36 per cent of Unite members, as against 30 per cent for Labour, while among GMB members the corresponding figures were 31 per cent to 22 per cent. Unison members narrowly preferred Labour, but the dimensions of the problem are clear, even if the figures hardly justify Farage’s bombastic claim that “Labour is no longer the party of the patriotic working class. That mantle now belongs to Reform.” The party founded to advance trade union interests is now increasingly spurned by trade unionists themselves.

Interview with Pakistani communist Adam Pal: “We are ready to fight this to the end”
Ehsan Ali, a leading member of the Inqalabi Communist Party (RCP) and Chairman of the Awami Action Committee (AAC) in Gilgit-Baltistan, was arrested on 10 March alongside other AAC leaders after discussing peaceful protests in the region. Lotta Angantyr, the British RCP’s national organiser, spoke with Adam Pal, leader of the Pakistani section of the Revolutionary Communist International (RCI), to find out more about the political situation in the country and the conditions that our comrades are facing in the struggle for socialism (see below). Since Ehsan Ali’s arrest, an international solidarity campaign to demand their release has been launched by the RCI, and is now supported by Genocide Watch and Amnesty International, as well as public figures like Jeremy Corbyn.

You can't make a political movement based on something as vague as the "queer" the regular movement is already collapsing upon itself because in the end, people attracted to the same sex, transsexual people and the vaguely defined "queer" leftovers have nothing in common concretly. How can a gay man being homeless for his sexuality even remotly related to a teenager calling herself a "genderfluid" what even is the link between the two, especially since the first one likely regards "queer" as an insult, or at most an old fashioned word for "odd"
I would also add, that even if "queer" was a clearly defined community, it still wouldn't be a good basis for a large scale political movement. How does queer theory awnser the question of organising society ? How does it concretly, how is medecine, food, water, ressources going to be distributed to those in needs ? How exacly is society to be organised around "queerness".
Even then, its premise that "queer" people can only be liberated trought anarchism is naive and ahistorical, capitalism has never hesitated to free people from their oppression if it benefitted it, the Cagots surely must have felt that their oppression was fundamental to their lives, but nowadays even historians don't know why people hated them so much. Had Cagot anarchism existed back then, it simply would have had been a failure, as the oppression of the Cagots was never inherent to capitalism. The same can be said for "queer" people. There is no oppression inherent to capitalism bar the ones of class.

>>2764802
All of this bullshit is demonstrably CIA. The only redeemable thing about queer LGBTQ movement is the fact that it abolished some irrational prejudices that would have been abolished under socialism anyway if it had succeeded, simply because of the disintegration of the material condition sustaining the reproduction of gender roles, matrimony, etc

I have come to the conclusion that the American working class will never achieve anything unless the United States collapses on the next 30 years.
I know I am being pessimistic and slightly retarded but I just can't imagine any kind of major revolution or even a fucking democratic socialist candidate being president on a Latin American country and even less on the USA or Canada. Not only because of the chokehold the imperialists have on all of America but also the cultural dominance on the continent on general, a good chunk people really believe on candidates like Abelardo on Colombia and the bastard of Salinas Pliego as a possible one on Mexico. The pure stupidity of the continent plays a role, the education in most if not all of American countries are either poor borderline non existing or pure propaganda, sometimes both. Most people on Mexico believe on just putting more effort to live a better life while refusing any kind of betterment on society because they believe "that is just what life is", and that's not only old people but young people also.
The young leftists there are are mostly only called leftist because they stand up for mistreatment of others or the genocide on Gaza, but when given the microphone they NEVER talk about capitalism, they truly believe this is only on the USA and Israel alone. I actually hate the lukewarm liberals, they criticize capitalism and it's effects but when given an alternative they feel it as too extreme.
There has to be a radical, like really radical change on this continent for any kind of leftist movement of any kind get's traction on the future, everyone is complacent and don't believe in a better future. The little others that do believe in a better future are either put into the liberal mind space by mainstream parties or any misfortune soul that actually believes on peaceful reform.

There’s a revolution happening in Bolivia right now

>>2831119

tsarist russia was not a nation, it was an empire and the so-called russian revolution was not really a revolution so much as it was an inevitable act of nationalization, the same nationalization that occured in the other european empires after the industrial revolution redefined the parameters of economics and geopolitics. bolshevik revisionism portrays it as a people's uprising, but the actual people of russia at the time were almost entirely poor agrarian peasants who were not industrial workers, knew nothing of marxism, were barely even literate, and had no agency or representation in the revolution at all. they were merely helpless bystanders watching from the sidelines (or conscripted to fight against their will) as a vanguard party composed of upper-class noblemen and middle-class skilled industrial workers went to war with the tsarist regime as a rival elitist nationalist party that presented itself as a populist revolutionary party. during the war the bolshevik army ran out of food and lenin responded by pillaging the farms destroying the agrarian economy and causing a famine that killed 5 million people, then came stalin who saw the independent farmers as a threat to russia's great industrial future and he stole all their land and turned them into slave plantations and seized all their food and killed/gulaged any who resisted, then came more famine and millions more dead, etc.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

So recently seen the birthrate statistics and notice that it is crashing HARD and faster than any predictors can make. Even the whole theory that poverty = more kids is getting disprovened fast as all countries are seeing their birthrate crash down. The prediction in the US that the Hispanic birthrate will save it has gotten disproven as their birthrate has CRASHED to the point that White birthrates are slightly higher and that isn't even getting into what happened to the Black birthrate. Mexico itself is below replacement level and South Africa is already getting closer to below replacement level. Africa itself has seen birthrates crash so bad the UN is changing its predictions on future demographics due to it. Morocco and Tunisia are below replacement level.
I guess what I am asking: Did global capitalism officially killed the birthrate or something more?

>>2830755
Tbh actually this is part of it as well, previously people could enjoy stuff previously considered childish (I.e computer games) by living vicariously through their children, but everyone these days are infantilised as fuck anyway and it’s not shamed if you’re a grown man who just likes his Pokémon cards or all night Lucky Star marathons.

Like I do admire the openness and freedom in that, but it’s definitely a factor in why people refrain from having children. You’ve got a lot of people these days in their 20s and 30s even saying they don’t feel like they’re grown up enough for kids and, well, no shit.

>>2831142
Although I will say that this isn’t necessarily people’s fault, the ability to consoooom is still promoted as the only reason to work but we’re also at the end of consumer capitalism’s efficacy to that end.

Buying the grown up shit like cars and homes are miserable affairs these days, rather than something exciting and a nice accomplishment, you’re bound to feel ripped off, disappointed and still like you’ve failed because it was way harder than boomers described it. In comparison you’re meagre salary can still buy so many fucking Pokémon cards like goddam you can live the best childhood in adulthood and isn’t that really the dream in childhood?
