Starting this thread and hopefully it stays a general. There's no thread dedicated to the EVROPA and what happens here.

everal European countries are currently reevaluating their military conscription policies, with some, like Croatia, having recently decided to reinstate it. Regarding pension reforms, the debate is also active, with France serving as a prominent example where a recent reform is facing political opposition and proposed suspension.
>Croatia.
Parliament voted in October 2025 to bring back a 2-month compulsory service starting in 2026.
>Germany
The government is moving toward a "new military service" model starting with a mandatory digital questionnaire for young men from 2027, with the potential for mandatory conscription if needed.
>Denmark
Expanding to include women from July 2025. Service is selected via a lottery system from the pool of eligible 18-year-olds.
>Latvia
Reintroduced in 2023. All men between 18 and 27 must serve for 11 months.

Concurrently, pension reform is trying to be pushed in Belgium, France, Bosnia and Slovenia (that I know of). All want to raise the retirement age and lower pensions low term.

Serbia has a rebellion going on for almost a year.

Why wouldnt prostitutes as the owners of these brothels have security if the clients are violent? Literally a non-issue unless prostitution is kept illegal and thus keeping prostitutes in the sphere of organized crime.

>Parts of the new strategy are “comprehensible, some of it is understandable, and some of it is unacceptable to us from a European perspective,” Merz told reporters Tuesday during a visit to Mainz, which is about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the US air base at Ramstein.

<“It confirms my assessment that we in Europe, and therefore also in Germany, must become much more independent from the US in terms of security policy,” he added, saying that “America First” is legitimate, but “America Alone” cannot be in US interest.

<“You also need partners in the world, and one of those partners can be Europe,” Merz said. “If you can’t deal with Europe, then at least make Germany your partner. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Its not but they are still doing it. NATO alliance is literally over.

Danish Intelligence: USA is Already a Security Threat

​<The Danish intelligence service has classified the United States as a security threat for the first time, noting that its unpredictability even toward its allies must be taken into account in future scenarios.

​<The Danish Defence Intelligence Service assessed the matter in its annual intelligence review published today.

​<Furthermore, the report assesses that the United States is now using its economic and technological strength as an instrument of power, even against its allies and partners.

<The story has been reported by the Danish media outlet Politiken and the news agency Bloomberg, among others.

Nvidia only designs chips and all the actual manufacturing is done in "Taiwan." If reunification happens, Nvidia is toast. Nvidia is also responsible for most of US "GDP growth" this year, since the vast majority of US "GDP growth" is just AI startups doing AI research by burning through billions of dollars of GPUs they bought from Nvidia.

>>2590839
AI and micochips are like the only flourishing US industry. If China takes Taiwan it's fucking over.

Got a question that's probably been asked a million times before? You're in the right landfill, buddy. Post it here.

Communism was invented by Joseph Commune (later Stalin) who used applied dialectics to travel into the future, leaving his assorted notes for Marx to organize and publish

Socialism is what all animals do since the beginning of time.
Communism is basically Socialism, but Marx removed nationalism and added internationalism.

🌴CALIFORNIA POLITICS 🥑
< The Cesspool of Late-Stage Narcissism Edition

💸🧘Thread for hellish discussion of the Progressive Reich and the smug, solar-paneled hypocrisy of the California Bourgeoisie and its Proletarian Gimps.🌞🍷

<Things will continue to be a performative hellscape where every solution is a branded, venture-capitalist-backed app for a problem they created, where people who preach "sustainability" own three homes and charge their Tesla from a grid powered by fossil fuels. The homeless population will be both a moral crisis and an eyesore to be hidden behind decorative fencing, while the legislature passes another groundbreaking non-binding resolution. The state will burn, flood, and drought simultaneously, and everyone will blame climate change while refusing to address the water-guzzling almond farms or their own lawn. The collapse will be a slow, Instagrammable descent into a smug, self-congratulatory dystopia.

<Death to the land of the fake woke, the exporters of insipid culture, the enabler of NIMBYs, the patron saint of pilates, the captains of crony capitalism, the barons of brunch, the lord of the lease-to-own luxury car, the guarantor of gentrification, the sultan of the startup, the prince of the pinkwashed police state

Down with the Silicon Valley billionaires. California has the ultimate potential yet we are being sucked dry both figuratively and literally. Massive farming corporations drain our natural water reserves while techbros fuck over our state over and over again.

Immerhin geht's ohne Stottern und um 360°-Verhaspeln. Wenn man Merkel für irgendwas nen Orden verleihen sollte dann dafür, daß sie uns Merz, Koch, Guttenberg & Co. wenigstens für ne Weile vom Hals gehalten hat, wenn auch nicht nachhaltig. Koch ruiniert als Manager in der "Freien Wirtschaft" erfolgreich Baufirmen, Merz hat es leider doch noch ins Kanzleramt geschafft und der Plagiator treibt im Hintergrund als Lebenspartner von K. Reiche erneut sein Unwesen im Wirtschaftsministerium. 2028 dann AfD/CDU-Koalition - schlimmste Zeitlinie, auch wenn das zumindest Teilen der AfD-Wählerschaft die Augen darüber öffnen dürfte, was für ner Pseudoalternative sie aufgesessen sind. Die werden dann 2032 aber eher Freie Sachsen, Wertpapierunion und ähnlichen Krebs wählen, weil bei ihnen keinerlei Klassenbewußtsein vorhanden ist.

Today I learned: Eberhard Liss from Karl-Marx-Stadt in the GDR invented the by neurobiology inspired Robotron, 4 years before Kohonen and Hopfield published their works on Neural Networks.

>>2591126
Interesting. Robotron was the DDR's biggest IT manufacturer. It was a partner of my school for ESP and PA classes, so i assembled PCBs @ Robotron for a short time. Where's that image from? Couldn't source it myself. There's some talk on German LinkedIn about an early AI patent from 1982 also by Eberhard Liss of Robotron. It's called "ASSOZIATIVE KOPPELMATRIX ZUM STRUKTURELLEN LERNEN UND ASSOZIIEREN AUS ERFAHRUNG". It's a neural network for machine learning. The pic you posted seems to be a different patent, but also related to machine learning/AI.

In other news: The German Communist Party just got all their bank accounts terminated. It's the latest case of "debanking" political opposition in Germany, some anti-war activists suffered it before as well, so did prominent rightoid activist Martin Sellner.
That's why communists must fiercely oppose the abolishment of physical/cash money.

I guess AI is finally at it's memecoin stage where it's trying to grab keywords for the last bit of SEO it can squeeze.

The AI bubble will be an unprecedented reshuffle bourgeois power structures if it doesn't completely shatter it. Even the Linux Foundation joined the ant death spiral recently.
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Foundation-Agentic-AI
Meaning all the work that chuds and corpos have done to try and coup it will have to start over someone revives the project after the Linux Foundation closes shop.

>>2590296
It's more so equivalent to forfeiting the pickaxes in your hands for dowsing rods. Lobotomizing yourself and going on a campaign to associate socialism with spam and snake oil isn't going to harm the bourgeois at all, it'll help them actually.

>>2590342
it just means, that the standard bias is socialist.

just like grok's standard bias is ultra-libertarian, a socialist ai's standard bias must be socialist.

>all it does is call other orgs pseudo-left
Perfection.

What is the actual use-case?


>>2591211
No, it's standard bias is WSWS (SEP). IIRC it's trained with focus on their own literature.

If you've read their articles, you understand this is garbage.

I'm probably going to get jumped but uh regardless, I'm feeling very frustrated because a lot of the more far left people i listen to keep saying to stop supporting stuff like DSA and junk and move to something more radical. but then they don't offer anything more radical, so we're just stuck in this feedback loop and i feel frustrated because i genuinely want to help. They keep saying that my arguments for not working on non-viable stuff is flawed but then they don't offer any alternatives and it's driving me up the wall. My main hope is that if a Dem Teaparty goes off, we can work on building actual space for third parties post trump. But I'm struggling on ways to do that, if any of you have any basic starter groups for a noobie demsoc like me please let me know. I wouldn't be here if i wasn't desperate

A herd of succdems passes through a communist image board, and it is disgusting.
>>2589217
Ignore the above, and never join a succdem party. If you are really dead set on finding a group, go on the down low, and find something less obvious and more material in its purposes. A food pantry perhaps. You might even meet people you would never have the chance to meet otherwise.

I'm kind of in a similar situation to OP where people keep telling me to do direct action. But then they don't offer any examples of it and instead just keep saying "DSA is le bad" on repeat, So we're just stuck in a rock and a hard place. B.E live's latest video is a good example where he glazes Calla Walsh
but then doesn't tell people how to be like her.

https://www.reuters.com/markets/asia/weak-japanese-yen-is-ticking-time-bomb-2025-12-04/

>LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - The Japanese yen is too weak, meaning the gap between the currency’s spot rate and what is consistent with Japan’s economic fundamentals will likely narrow in the coming years. That amplifies risks of a sudden unwind of the yen carry trade.

>The USDJPY cross rate is currently around 155, near the top of its multi-decade range of 80 to 160, having experienced an explosive rally since early 2022 when it was trading near 115.

The main driver of this slump has been the yawning yield differentials between the U.S. and Japan.

>While the Federal Reserve and many other central banks were compelled to raise their interest rates sharply in 2022 to combat elevated inflation, the Bank of Japan kept its policy rate negative and maintained full operation of its yield curve control (YCC) program, which manages long-term rates, until March 2024. Only then did it reset its policy target rate back near positive territory at 0.0-0.1%.

>Since then, under Governor Kazuo Ueda, the BOJ has very gingerly raised the policy target rate to the current 0.50%. But that is not only lower than the current U.S. federal funds rate of 3.75-4.00% but also well below Japan’s CPI inflation of 3.0%, meaning Japan’s real interest rate is still deeply negative.

<WRONG TYPE OF INFLATION

>The weak yen has, unsurprisingly, stoked inflation in Japan.

>Unrealized losses at Japan's regional banks are surging: Unrealized losses for Japanese regional banks on domestic bond holdings surged +$4 billion in Fiscal Q2 2025, ending September 30th, to a record $21.3 billion. This marks a 260% increase since March 2024, when the Bank of Japan hiked rates for the first time since 2007. Banks now face their 5th consecutive year with unrealized losses on bond holdings. This comes as Japanese government bonds have seen their most severe price decline in history. Japan's bond market is in trouble.

>>2517297
Crisis status?
>>2586219
What does this mean?

>>2586273
The "unrealized loss" part means that the value of the bonds has declined without the bonds being sold. This is happening even as the price to purchase those bonds have also declined, though apparently not enough to make buying them attractive. In essence, no one is buying Japanese bonds from these regional banks, which means they're being loaded with bad assets they can't sell, because they'd lose money on the transaction, thus "realizing" the loss.

I am officially reopening the CRISIS thread.
