The GOP becoming "anti-Israel" is "good" only in an absolute vacuum. What´s interesting is how are they going to stabilize the anti-semitic nature of the base, perhaps they are going to become like Gulf states (the official Gov is pro-zionist, the people anti-zionist).

In fact, this stabilization is happening right now: the redscare (GOP/Thiel operatives) interview of Fuentes is a sign of this.

They are never going to become anti-israel, what you have is just anti-semitic zionists.

46,000 Kaiser Permanente health care workers begin 5-day strike
Tens of thousands of nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, therapists, and other healthcare professionals across the western United States are preparing to launch a five-day strike Tuesday against Kaiser Permanente. The walkout by 46,000 workers organized in the Alliance of Health Care Unions (AHCU) expresses the explosive anger of healthcare workers confronting intolerable conditions amid soaring corporate profits and social inequality.

Meta removes Facebook page allegedly used to target ICE agents after pressure from DOJ
Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed the Facebook takedown in an X post, and said that the DOJ “will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.” A Meta spokesperson confirmed that the tech giant removed the Facebook group page, but declined to comment about its size and the specific details that warranted its removal.

‘Citizens United 2.0’: GOP Pushing a Pair of Supreme Court Cases That Would Further Legalize Bribery
One of the cases, National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Elections Commission (FEC), was launched in 2022 by then-Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance (R-Ohio), now the vice president of the United States, and several other Republicans, who argued that limits on coordinated spending violated the First Amendment. The limits in question, which were imposed after the Watergate scandal, put a cap on the amount of money that outside donors can spend in direct coordination with their favored candidates.

Making postal work great again: Royal Mail’s job quality has plummeted, with gruelling hours, two-tier pay, intense surveillance, and poor work-life balance for postal workers — but our union is fighting back with significant success, writes CWU branch secretary JOHN CARSON
IN MOST traditional workplaces, any new worker will usually hear those irrepressible words “this used to be a great job” — and nowhere is this truer than in Royal Mail. When I first started in Royal Mail, the longest-serving worker in my delivery office was Willie Jackson. Jackson started as a postie in 1964 and retired in 2024, after nearly 60 years’ service. Jackson was a member of the CWU (and its predecessors) for the entirety of that time. In workplaces with such a solid historical memory, you will always get a strong sense of perspective. This is inevitable for a number of reasons, nostalgia being one, but also in the case of Royal Mail, it has been driven by a very real sense that the job itself is no longer what it used to be. One of the principal misconceptions out there is that the job is all “Postman Pat” riding round Greendale, drinking tea and having chats. A quaint, fulfilling and stress-free life. Nothing could be further from the truth.

‘Greater Israel’ and the annexation of the West Bank: The burial of the ‘two-state solution’
Whilst the eyes of the world have been fixated on the horrors in Gaza, the Zionist regime has maneuvered to seize control of the West Bank. At the beginning of the year, ‘security’ in the occupied West Bank was declared an official Israeli war aim. Under the cover of ‘war’, Operation Iron Wall was launched in January – the largest IDF campaign in the West Bank in decades. Israel Katz, the foreign minister, declared that the battle in the camps was “a war in every sense”, insisting that Palestinians be treated “exactly” as in Gaza. The assault began in Tulkarem and Jenin, before spreading to camps in Nablus and Tubas. Armoured bulldozers followed Israeli airstrikes, upending life in the camps. The brutal siege on Jenin was described by one refugee as “worse than the Second Intifada”. Roads, water, and sewage infrastructure were deliberately targeted, while entire residential blocksPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It depends on the class character of the state: bourgeois states should not be allowed to control access to guns among the proles, but proletarian states should expropriate the arms of capitalists, the bourgeoisie, and the middle kkklass

you're right, let's give the corrupt government even more power and turn the 1% chance of being able to overthrow them and establish a true republic into a 0% chance! meanwhile kids will continue to get shot because the government does not give a fuck about children or education or safety or poverty or mental health, only money and power. i am very intelligent.

>well i mean you do need things to get bad, or at least substantially worse than the normal for things to actually start happening, organization really only matters if there's anything actually going on, as you'll learn from a good few historical examples

See things have been getting bad for a while now. I mean talking about my own family, my grandfather was a manager for Sears back in the day and could afford a home in a good neighborhood, a wife that could stay at home, three kids, vacations, and a really cozy retirement. My dad is a manager in a grocery store and could afford a house near "the ghetto" and two kids with my mom having to work to support us, and even then the house is showing its age and needs repairs.

I work in a grocery store and can afford to rent.

Things have gotten worse for a substantial number of people. Though I suspect part of the problem is we engage in this Steven Pinker line of thinking where we fallaciously compare the economy of today to underdeveloped economies of yesterday: "Oh you think this is bad? Well did you know that a century ago you would've been an illiterate dirt farmer?!"

Shit if I remember right, Lenin thought Communists should be organizing always, in good conditions and in bad ones. But I think it's something curious to the American political imagination where we only perceive political change coming from a general collapse. Wait for the old system to just kill over, revert back to the Wild West, then as the old saying goes "MY civilization will emerge from the ashes!"

Like fucking Ayn Rand of all people thought the state collapsing would give libertarians carte blanche to build their utopia. So I don't believe the poor state we find ourselves in is a matter of "conditions not being right" or some inherent failure on the part of the people. I think its on us. I believe we have to take responsibility for the state of the Left here. And we need to figure out better strategies for actually organizing people in real life.

>What does "defeating Trump's nationalism with international proletarian solidarity" mean?
i think the problem is they assume intuitively that you do know, because what i think they mean is "go connect people to struggles abroad and inform people to reject chauvinist nationalism" which is all well and good but that's a pretty tall order, one that even a fairly well organized group would have to do at the micro-level to even have an effect, the problem is that there is effectively no strategy book, or anything like it published, and if there is one it's gonna get attacked by sectarians for not fitting their favorite 20th century institution, but on the point i made about "things are gonna have to get a lot worse than the normal for things to start happening", i think the problem CPUSAnon is that for the most part, things haven't really gotten much worse than the "Normal" since the "Normal" is shit for most, but for the most part it isn't a condition prone to riot, protest? maybe but it's rare that protests cause mass movements to attempt to seize power, it's not exactly an exaggeration that homelessness would need to climb astronomically, starvation would need to be a serious threat, and other horrific things for things to even have a chance at actually changing. and that is incredibly depressing although true

Madagascar: army splits and president flees – the mass movement has won a first victory
Events have developed at lightning speed over the weekend in Madagascar. The mass youth movement, which started on 25 September, has now overthrown the old regime. A section of the army refused to continue carrying out repression against the masses and mutinied. The president had to be airlifted by the French military on Sunday, 12 October. The spark for the movement was the constant electricity cut-offs, which make daily life very difficult. But that was just the most striking symptom of a deep malaise against corruption, the obscene contrast between the wealth of those at the top (including prominent businessmen close to the president) and the dire conditions of the masses on an island where 79 percent live under the poverty line. What started as a peaceful protest movement by the student youth, partly inspired by the GenZ revolutions in Indonesia and Nepal, became a national uprising after the regime of President Rajoelina used brutal repression against the demonstrators, leaving at least 25 dead. As repression did not cow the youth, the regime attempted concessions, dismissing the government and then appointing a new prime minister. It was too little too late. The aim of the movement had become the overthrow of the whole bloody regime. …

>how could the soviet republics have managed to keep unity and rivalize with the west whilst maintaining an image of a viable alternative to normal people from the 1980s-onwards ?
Essentially follow the plan that Andropov had laid down and it could've worked.
The big problems that the USSR faced was that it had a chronic shortage of goods, inneficient and bloated labor, and nepotic officials. Solving this was a prerequisite, whatever your ideas may be. To that effect, I think a two-fold solution would've been adapted to succesfully enable a return of soviet-ism as a viable model :

>modernization, rejunevation of the party, and better accounting.
The nomenklatura would've been purged, at the expense of political stability. The ambition would be to ally with the army and the with the KGB to purge party members and replace them with new and more cooperative ones. This line would've extended to nepotic officials too and would've essentially achieved the capacity to actually enable reforms. Following this internal purge, the nomenklatura should've pushed to cater to consumer goods. A retreat from afghanistan and a drastic reduction in military investments should be made to ensure proper funds for the public and a consolidation of a solid consumer base. This also means adopting greater cybernetics to succesfully dispose of calculation potential to adequatly plan the economy. Local managers would've gotten more leeway in firing and hiring workers, whilst also seeing the very real threat of being fired from their public offices if the results they showed were underwhelming and inconsistent. Ideally, the funds serving for the army would be diverted into funding information loops through technology from the stores to the companies charged with production. The firms would transition from a gosplan/ministry-imposed material balance to shops telling which firm what to produce to make a profit or balance even.

>step 2 : succesfully expanding the economic reforms to catch up with Europe
If we take for granted that the previous reform had worked in rejunevating the consumer base in the USSR, a second part would be established to not lag behind western economies but actually compete with them. Imo, this could be done through market mechanisms, supply side innovation, and planning mechanisms. The idea would to split enterprises producing for the markPost too long.

>There is no easy way to scale the Web 3.0 model to billions of users and circumvent massive ethical, legal, technical, and economic challenges that arise from that. Heck, the West was probably only able to scale its social media models to 100s of millions of users only because the rise of the Internet and social media had coinceded with liberal-capitalist post-Cold War triumph.
Aside from the ethical which was never a concern to the people who can actually affect this, what exactly about these problems has changed in the past few years that they're suddenly insurmountable?

You have to consider that as an early adopter you have a vision of the good version of the Internet that most people don't.
Also, the current Internet is like this on purpose, all the bad things about it are deliberate to maximize engagement, do we really think everyone will just get over it eventually apropos of nothing?
This is an inherently cringe thing to say but the current relationship of many (not confident about saying most) people to the Internet/phones is a public health issue and should be seen as not dissimilar to drugs, sugar and other unhealthy habit. There's decent proof that phone addiction is real and bad for your health. Now, drug addiction isn't exactly a solved problem socially either, but acknowledging it is a necessary first step for doing anything about it.

<Subsurface crystal engraving for data storage is a "5D" technology that uses a femtosecond laser to write data into nanostructured quartz glass, storing information in five dimensions: the three physical dimensions of height, width, and depth, plus two more from the nanostructuring. This method allows for a high-capacity (up to 360 TB) and incredibly durable storage solution that can last for billions of years, making it ideal for archiving humanity's knowledge. The process uses specialized lasers to create microscopic structures within the glass, which are then read back by a specialized device to retrieve the data.
<Unlike conventional 2D media like CDs, 5D storage uses the three spatial dimensions, along with two additional dimensions derived from the size, orientation, and position of nanostructures created by the laser.

As someone who used the internet since like the late 90s/early 2000s, I don't know if i would go as far to say that it used to be "good" but it definitely wasn't as bad as it is now in terms of centralization and commercialization and overall sleaze. But these problems were all there from day one, people seem to forget that. Like before Google there were a few search engines people used, Altavista or Lycos or Yahoo or one of those "web portals" which were always blanketed with ads and clickbait bullshit to the point of almost being unusable. And without them there was no way to really find anything, people tend to forget that too. You can have all the world's information on the internet but if there's no point of entry, no index, then all the information is just useless noise, tv static.

Things like the internet and the web really need to be treated as public infrastructure and not as a business. Search should have been treated as an integral part of the internet infrastructure from day one, with some national or international consortium dedicated to indexing the web and maintaining a public index of every known website and link with some pagerank-like relevance algorithm to make it useful. There's nothing that says the public-sector could not have accomplished what Google did. We've seen services like Wikipedia and Archive.org and know that people can build useful things on the internet without a multibillion dollar profit motive. Companies could have still started their own private for-profit search engines but at least they wouldn't own the entire fucking internet.
