>Assuming we model salaries democratically like that, isn't it possible the less well paid workers will just vote to not pay that much more to the most 'valuable' workers which might lead to the most 'valuable' work that is highly specialised not getting done?
Not for the idea in the last paragraph. The idea there is not that anybody votes on salary, rather people are asked what they would buy from their income at different levels or we try to infer that information indirectly by statistical methods. From that demand, we determine the demand-driven salaries, and given these salaries, we guess demand and so on. I suspect that starting such a simulation from different income distributions, we end with a smaller number of stable distributions, but more than just one, and then we can pick from these according to some egalitarian goal.

Yes, the doctor can't do shit without the janitor. Maybe years of studying should somehow get paid to equalize doctor with janitor.

>>2417661
the janitor is replaceable; the doctor isnt
>paid the same
you are not supposed to go into janitorial work as a life-long career choice. its for unskilled workers (i.e. people who are supposed to learn skills later in life).

I think 3-6x is usual and reasonable if you can also hit the 3-5x minimum range from experience tenure seniority alone etc you could look up countries for something like the highest paid worker not making more than whatever amount. if food housing and medical are guaranteed by the state no inheritance and you dont have billionaire leeches than having that kind of spread for luxuries or vacation sounds good to me. so you could have jannies and burger flippers start out at $10 an hour and doctors and engineers starting at $30 but senior burger coordinators could easily make $50

As for my point of view on the outbreak of the "winter war", I have expressed it hundreds of times, and I will not be lazy to remind you: in the autumn, when negotiations were still underway in Moscow between Finland and Russia, the Finns fully mobilized their armed forces. The Finns drove an unusually large percentage of the population into the trenches, in addition, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced from the alleged war zone. There is a huge mass of evacuees inside the country (by Finnish standards), the country's main industry, woodworking, has actually stopped because all the men are in the trenches, and supplies from abroad are not coming because there is no war.

The "Mining incident" was critically important: The Soviet Union could still negotiate for a month, two, three, and Finland, if the war had not happened, would have been forced to demobilize the army.

And here's the luck: the "Mining incident" happened, the war began, and Western aid went.

>The Finns fully mobilized their armed forces.
And? What were they supposed to do? sit there with their thumb up their asses and make no preperations for the upcoming invasion?

Never trust anti soviet arguments, especially from finns, baltcucks or ukroids. Simple as

Democrats are polling in their lowest ratings ever. I don't think the Dems will even be a thing in about a decade.

More than 40 arrested at protest against Gaza war at Trump hotel in New York
The protest, organized by IfNotNow, a Jewish-American anti-occupation group, had begun earlier in the evening at Columbus Circle. Hundreds gathered under the banner “Trump: Jews Say No More” to demand an end to the war in Gaza and that the Trump administration pressure Israel to allow greater humanitarian aid to enter into territory, as health officials there continue to report deaths from starvation and malnutrition.

Prosecutor who negotiated Epstein's sweetheart deal left off subpoena list
House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday that he had issued subpoenas to a number of prominent figures to appear for depositions in the following weeks and months. Those individuals included former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. A House panel last month approved a motion by Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) to direct Comer to subpoena those individuals. Acosta wasn't among those subpoenaed, which raised eyebrows from reporters and followers of the Epstein probe, given Acosta's role in negotiating the deal at the heart of the scandal.

CP of Greece, What should be the perspective of the anti-war and anti-imperialist movement?
Some argue that the war can be stopped or prevented from escalating. For example, Israel may back down under pressure from international solidarity or from actions such as boycotting Israeli products and companies. The truth is that, however strong and massive it may be, a protest movement against war cannot prevent it. It is utopian to believe that “the powerful” can back down under popular pressure, or that the EU, for example, can be pressured into defending Palestine. This notion ignores and underestimates the true nature of imperialist war: it is a war backed by the enormous interests of capitalist enterprises and bourgeois states; behind it lies a life-or-death struggle for a foothold within the imperialist system, for the division of territories and spheres of influence. This notion harbours illusions and delusions about the ability of bourgeois institutions and trans-state imperialist alliances to become “pro-peace” under “popular pressure”. It causes the anti-war movement against war to pursue various temporary peace agreements mediated by imperialists, and turns it into a supporter of various temporary and fragile truces. In other words, while imperialist war is in full swing, is escalating and becoming more widespread, and the workers' and popular movements must prepare for this, positions such as the above lead to complacency. This leaves the people’s struggle vulnerable to propaganda calling for temporary compromises with a gun held to the peoples’ head. Although there is potential to broaden the confrontation and challenge the dominant policy, this notion essentially neutralizes radicalization and perpetuates the utopic idea that the hawks of war can become doves of peace.

On August 4th 2025 Jair Bolsonaro, President of Brazil and a friend, was jailed. My friend Jair was f*cking jailed.

Brazilians never got over the end of the monarchy, they still think the president is like the emperor who had near absolute power.

yeah it kinda weird how I can't really hate him

Pro-Ukrainian spectators will buy claims of a 14:1 ratio in favour of Ukraine at face value because they’ve already psychologically prepared themselves for Ukraine’s defeat and the unavoidable revelation that Ukrainians were just being used as cannon fodder by NATO, literally to the last Ukrainian possible.


Because then all of their support for the exploitation of Ukrainians is something that they’re also victims of because they were lied to, of course they wouldn’t have so brazenly told ziggers to cope and seethe if they’d not been LIED to by Kiev and western intel agencies the entire time and being told that ackshually Ukraine is committing near genocidal rates of death for the Russian military.

1. Such a waste of trips!
2. 'I' don't care about 'your' feelings. And 'this' is the only fact here.

Jews aren’t Slavs, if anything Slavs are the descendants of the original Semites. It’s generally agreed upon by most serious Biblical scholars that Jews are either the descendants of Cain directly or indirectly through Esau

By the way… Lot of shitty replies and I don't want to sift through them all. I'll get straight to the point.
The semite thing came up like in the nineteenth century. Basically, the most narcissistic ethno-religious group currently existing was labelled as "semites" because their - supposed - ancestors thousands of years before spoke a semitic language. Btw, educate yourselves about semitic languages:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_languages
Yeah, I know, wikipaedo is not that great, but still, this article seems to be decent and the introduction alone, if you just give it five minutes to read, would clarify what actually semite is supposed to mean.
Basically, semite is from Sem, one of the sons of Noah or someone like that in the Bible. Noah - or whoever that was - also had two other sons: Yafet and Ham.
Sem/Shem is thought of as the ancestors of "semite", i.e. middle-eastern speakers of semitic languages.
Yafet is the ancestor of crackers, who anyway got to get called "Caucasians" for some stupid and disproven theory that all crackers came out of the Caucasus - hence why Burgers always talk about "Caucasian male, or female or whoever".
Ham/Kham/Cham is the ancestor of uyghur – s. To this day, some linguists use the name "Semito-Hamitic" for the hypothesized larger language family comprising both Semitic and various North African languages (Berber, Ancient Egyptian and its modern version of Coptic, various languages in the Horn of Africa that can't be grouped with Semitic). That macro-family is more commonly called "Afro-Asiatic".

>>2417313
>Why are Jews classified as Semites
it isnt a "classification", hitler popularized the term "semites" as a euphemism for jews

>>2417940 (me)
or rather it is a "classification" but the term gained popularity as a dog whistle during the third reich

So many people here say kids will be raised by the whole community, I doubt it will work, at least from the Communist angle; I've met so many Leftists and Communists (as in "everyone more radical than a Socdem") who are disgusted by straight people and everything that has to do with them, hate children or are misanthropic in general (like how this anon says >>2337653), I doubt your "commune raises kids collectively" will work out.
