On one hand I think HTS could crack them with Turkey but on the other I do not think Turkey would take the losses politically as bodybags coming home would exponentially increase. If anything the peace process w the PKK could be enough for Turkey to force their dogs in Damascus to heel.

>Why should I give a fuck about some vague moral rights?
Ultimately because you exist in a social context and have to coexist with other human beings by affording them a modicum of respect and common decency. If you want to make edits of people's OCs being put up against the wall by the Cheka nobody can realistically stop you - but they can ostracize you from their social group. If you've got a brain and still can't control your compulsion to do things that piss other people off, you'll appreciate that this is the sort of thing you should do anonymously rather than demanding everyone else accept your social faux pas as moral because there's nothing in Das Kapital about not acting like a moron on the internet.

I do not believe you have seriously read either. You are posturing here for precisely the same socially motivated reasons: "look at me, I am virtuous, I read the approved communist thinkers." "The approved communist thinkers agree that my social status should be elevated and that of artists lowered.", well, no sell. Hegel and Marx would think you are an antisocial little dork.

>ai is bad because it's controlled exclusively by reactionaries so yeah everything should be done to hinder its development

It is uncommon in human history for a technology to be destroyed or forgotten; it is far more common for a technology to remain once invented. On the rare occasions a technology disappears, it is usually due to isolation, collapse, or loss of transmission, rather than deliberate attempts by people to destroy technology and reverse history.

What does Marx say about the Luddites?

<The enormous destruction of machinery that occurred in the English manufacturing districts during the first 15 years of this century, chiefly caused by the employment of the power-loom, and known as the Luddite movement, gave the anti-Jacobin governments of a Sidmouth, a Castlereagh, and the like, a pretext for the most reactionary and forcible measures. It took both time and experience before the workpeople learnt to distinguish between machinery and its employment by capital, and to direct their attacks, not against the material instruments of production, but against the mode in which they are used.

>Technology finally BTFO'ing terrible Copyright laws?

That happened with Napster. What's happening now is more like the Enclosure of the Commons where big IP holders are just claiming the property of smaller IP holders and telling them to just deal with it.

>"I shouldn't be shamed for not living up to capitalist society's expectations of me, I should be allowed to be my authentic self without being criticized and I shouldn't have to change myself based on some arbitrary capitalist standard"

This seems to be the sentiment that dominates the minds of zoomers and most millennials that drives them towards the left whether we want to admit it or not. This is what makes a lot of younger people under 40 embrace anti-capitalist politics, question social norms that are the superstructure of modern capitalism, become anti-eugenics, embrace new identity groups, and so on. Look no further than Tumblr from the mid 2010s or TikTok today. My question is, why haven't any communist or socialist parties been able to gather these types of people up? The DSA's entire strategy is simply economistic "healthcare and unions" babble that they weaponize to push the Democrats further to the left. Yet we shouldn't forget that the millennial left (namely, the people who participated in the anti-war movement in the 2000s and Occupy in 2011-12) all folded into DSA by the end of the 2010s. So why can't the DSA bring in those frustrated zoomers from TikTok, the ones who make videos on queerness and unmasking autism and mental health and why nearly all romantic relationships are inherently predatory or whatever? Maybe if the people on that platform were in a political party they'd have actual pragmatic political goals.

If you're looking to solve problems like those that autistic and queer people face, you have to build up orgs with people you actually like and are willing to work alongside long-term. That's how you get political leverage. So far, the autistic/neurodiversity and queer movements have largely been failures given how easily the Trump Administration could undo all the progress both groups have made within a matter of a year, because both of these movements don't have strong enough structures that they can effectively bite back.

>>2588290
You would assume an autism diagnosis (even if it's self-diagnosed) would radicalize someone and make them more willing to be proactive. But from my experience it's been the exact opposite: as soon as a comrade finds out they're autistic they use autism as an excuse to not organize or attend meetings/study groups and decide to stay on the couch or in bed all day. Now you're seeing a whole trend of autistic leftists (all of them zoomers, shocking) who insist attending protests and marches is "dangerous" for autistic people and they should have permission to stay out of protests without scrutiny. Really makes me wonder what these kiddos will do during a general strike or some other kind of mass upheaval.

>>2589291
Again though that's not about building socialism, that's about begging for concessions (treats) from piggy

If we really want to liberate autistic people we need a new system and they will have to fight for it and that requires picking up a book.

LOOK AT THIS MOTHER FUCKER AND TELL ME THAT HE ISNT WHITE!!! Race obviously is a social construct but despite the fact that Persians have white skin in America they are “Brown” because they are Muslim, the same goes for Kurds, Turks, Azerbaijanis, and Pashtuns. It’s not just Muslims either but it also goes for Spanish speakers, I remember there was an episode of the Simpsons where they were making fun of Fidel Castro and they didn’t color his skin yellow.

Reminder that Marco Polo described East Asians as having the same skin color as he has. Reminder that there was a Japanese immigrant in early 20th century America that almost succesfully won a whiteness debate before an US court to be considered eligible for US citizenship. Reminder that 19th century European scholars were major hinduboos (compareable to modern weeaboos) and thats why the term "Aryan" was adopted for Indo-European languages. Reminder that the Irish are the palest Europeans but were seen as subhumans because of the constant conflicts they had with Anglo-Saxons since the 8th century.

Yep
Greeks considered the greek/balkan area to be Europe, they considered 'asian turkey', that is Anatolia, to be 'Asia', and North Africa to be 'Lybia'. They knew of India and China but considered them distinct from 'Asia'.
As for the Germanoid lands, the Greeks simply did not give a fuck about them. The musty anglo racists never faced this reality, they shoehorned themselves as being part of 'Europe', when the Greeks did not even think about them. Inconsequential barbarians.

Artists such as Peter Hacks from East Germany interpreted "abolishing the state" from a Hegelian perspective, in that the state will become so big and all emcompassing that everyone born will be a member of the party, and that is the peak of human archievement

>a perfect state has universal membership
Okay but that is your conjecture, not Peter Hacks. Universal party membership contradicts Hegel’s state theory because the state’s universality is mediated and rational, not totalizing.


>>2588624

you are correct.

But I also heard that in the former Eastern Bloc it was felt that improving the state into perfection was the path towards communism. In my view that seems totalitarian.

>>2588540
Yes but unironically. Nazism needs to be eradicated on a genetic level.

>>2588642

It is indeed totalitarian conceptually.

For a Proletarian Dictatorship to truly triumph, it must come to encompass all of society; Nothing must be outside it or against it.

And it is by this process, as OP hinted at, that the state itself, defined in the Marxist sense as the instrument of class power itself can wither away.

The yet harder pill to swallow is that any totalitarian state almost also itself come to resemble something close to Proletarian Dictatorship. That is to say class collaborationism will never actually achieve what the corporatists say they want it to achieve (comprehensive social harmony analogous to a healthy body); Only something resembling the Dictatorship of the Proletariat can ever hope to lead to anything close to such an outcome.

anarchism was an antisemitic mistake

>no mention of lifetime presidency
because it doesnt use the regular presidency position (where they just added 2 years to give them more time to entrench their power before the next elections), but the newly created senate president position, the senate being unelected, for life, and concentrating ridiculous power

I will post some translated excerpts :
>On the early morning of Saturday, November 15, 2025, with the hasty adoption of a new Constitution under emergency procedures, creating a despotic monarchy, a black veil fell over our beloved homeland.

>We extend our hand to all of you, inviting you to gird your loins, to show heroism and a spirit of sacrifice. We call on you to rise up against despotism to save the homeland, democracy, and a bright future for Benin. Young women and men of Benin, Young people from all corners of our country, Stand up, for the Day of Glory is coming! Forward for the homeland and democracy!

>On the night of December 14 to 15, "our people saw a new constitution imposed on them through violence, maneuvering, pressure, and manipulation of all kinds. " Thus, we are witnessing the advent of a monarchical constitution with "a Senate concentrating in its hands all powers, including those of the people (constituent), legislative, executive, and judicial powers; a Senate made up of unelected people whose members, appointed for life, rule over all the constitutional institutions of the country. There is no other term for this than a despotic monarchy. And when we know that the President of this new institution will be none other than the current President, Patrice Talon, we can clearly see the logic behind it."

>Faced with what appears to be inevitable, I urge all my fellow citizens not to sink into despair… I urge all forces, whether political, social, moral, or religious, committed to democracy, justice, humanity, and the homeland, to unite in a sacred union and use all legal and legitimate means to save the homeland and democracy. Today, the word is sacred union to meet the challenge of tyranny. No to the establishment of a despotic monarchy in Benin! No to the monarchical Constitution!

>Sahel Confederation issues harsh warning after Nigerian aircraft violates Burkinabè airspace amid Benin coup fallout

>Mali’s military government has released a communiqué announcing that a Nigerian EC-130 helicopter was forced to land in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso after entering Burkinabè airspace without authorization on December 8.

>The aircraft carried 11 Nigerian military personnel (2 crew, 9 passengers). An investigation by Burkinabè authorities concluded the craft had no overflight clearance.

>The Sahel Confederation, made up of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, condemned the incursion as a “violation of sovereignty” and announced that all confederal air-defense systems have been placed on maximum alert, with authorization to neutralize any aircraft entering AES (Alliance of Sahel States) airspace without approval.

>The incident occurs as regional forces mobilize around the failed coup attempt in Benin, where Nigeria and France are reported to be conducting military operations.

France behind the orders to attack Benin with airstrikes.

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
