Frankly, I don't see why such pathetic shill and clown should be afforded any attention here. You could openly discuss the ideas of some explicitly rightwing, liberal or generally non-socialist figure and I guess that shit would be even more interesting that this clown's theatrical rubbish.
If you want to make up your own mind about Buddhism, Christianity or whatever, there are plenty of resources available to do that and stop relying on wannabe pop philosophers.

The entire Ljubljana school is pure idealist mental illness.

UC officials seek legal means to end student worker strike
The union's strike is in protest of UC's handling of encampments where police arrested hundreds of students and employees at UC San Diego, UCLA and UC Irvine. Those academic workers — ranging from academic researchers and graduate teaching assistants to post-doctoral scholars who hold office hours and grade assignments — are also facing university disciplinary measures.

836 - Pier One Imports feat. Derek Davison (5/28/24)(Chapo Trap House)
Chief Chapo foreign correspondent returns to take us around the wide world of conflict. We get an update on the war in Gaza including the bombing of Rafah, the failing floating Pier, and the Biden administration's attempts to broker some kind of deal between Israel, Palestine and Saudi Arabia without gaining any concessions or movement toward peace in the process. Plus, we discuss the death or Iranian president Raisi, the situation in Ukraine, and what the hell’s going on in French New Caledonia.

Could Raisi's death be a turning point for Iran?
From 1989, when Khamenei ascended to the leadership, until 2021, when Ebrahim Raisi won the presidential election, no president had been fully aligned with Khamenei. As part of the unification strategy, all major moderate and reformist candidates were disqualified by the Guardian Council in 2021, leading to Raisi’s victory. He was the favoured candidate of the deep state. This vote also recorded the lowest turnout in presidential elections since the establishment of the Islamic Republic. This trend continued in the first round of parliamentary elections this past March, where voter participation was around 40 percent. This is particularly striking given that years earlier, Khamenei had described a 40 percent electoral participation rate in some countries as a “disgrace”. In Tehran, the epicentre of Iran’s political developments, participation dropped to 24 percent. The situation deteriorated further in the second round this month, with participation in Tehran plummeting to seven percent of eligible voters. The top candidate in Tehran secured a parliamentary seat with just 3.5 percent of the eligible vote. Is this precipitous decline in electoral participation important for the deep state? Prior to the March elections, Khamenei remarked: “The enemy is looking for an unprosperous election … It is paramount that the elections be prosperous and full of excitement.” By holding elections, the deep state seeks to project governmental legitimacy on the international stage. The dramatic reduction in participation subverts this objective.

>>1872839
>nothing created gender roles
they are the interplay of biology and early class society. The statistical strength of the male-presenting entity compared to female-presenting entity, and the necessity of the female-presenting entity to breastfeed the newborn child incentivized a clear division of labor in a society transitioning between a hunter gatherer mode of existence and an early agricultural mode of existence. People could and did diverge from their socially constructed roles, but they statistically were more likely not to, because it constituted swimming upstream in many ways.

>you can change gender retard, that's the whole point. if transness is tied to economic conditions, why would there be a centuries old monument about non-gender conforming mythological people in an island with relatively simple feudal-like economics?
the answer is because this idiot didnt read anything about the history of trans people. trans people are clearly just a modern nomenclature for a modern manifestation of a type of person that has been continually reborn for probably all of human history, trans people are a part of the human genome

As a geopolitical sphere of influence, sure. Otherwise, it's whatever. I don't have any hatred for working people, all cultures have their strengths and faults.

>Can I ask something, what are you all like irl? Do you just work normal jobs and not tell anyone you're a leftist?
I'm a comp sci student and work in what we call "scientific initiation" (I get to help a professor in their research). I'm currently applying for internships as well. I'm also member of a communist organization, and I prefer not to throw this information around for a number of reasons, including safety. People do know I'm left leaning though: I describe myself as a Marxist pretty openly when prompted, and others see no issue with that since I'm regarded as intelligent, honest, and well-intentioned by my friends, peers and acquaintances; and it helps that I have pretty good rhetoric when provoked.
As for my social life, it's normal. I'm a huge nerd as is everyone in imageboards, but people see no issue with that either, I have good company.

Basically, capitalism was useful for getting out of feudalism, but it has overstayed its usefulness and now we have people deliberately restricting growth in the interest of serving their own private profit interests and they can do this because they own the means of production, giving them all the power. This is why the wealthiest country on Earth can have people going hungry or enslaving people to debt as the tech bros, CEOs and bankers get bailout after bailout and parachutes and ect ect ect.

Communism is a steady process and is the name of the idealistic outcome and considered by Marx & Engels as the next stage of human development that's focused on growth, production, technological advancement and so on. An example of why Capitalism fails at this is America forgetting how to make boats or their total failure in the green energy sector because they're busy funneling money into Musk so he can make bad cars for rich people. Some socialist countries will have elements of capitalism in it, like the USSR did under Lenin, because it's a process. There is no communist country, they are BUILDING communism. The most important method for this is the dictatorship of the proletariate, where the proletariate class get the power to rip industry from the interests of private profits and then can focus on production, production, production. Like how China basically produces the entire world's steel.

Read Principles of Communism first and then go from there. Eventually read the State and Revolution to understand the USSR better.

One last thing, most of your anti-communist thoughts most likely come from "it's always failed" but that's propaganda. If you look at the economic development, socialism uplifted 10s of millions of people in an extremely short amount of time. The USSR took 30 years to become the second largest superpower in the world. It took America 200. There have been mistakes, this is a dumb argument because every country makes mistakes, but objectively speaking, it's successful and it's just restrained under the threat of bombings and sanctions from liberal countries.

Also Anarchists are not Communists so don't use them as an example. This is because they're "utopian" meaning they don't care about material conditions, aka reality, and just exist to wave their finger at socialists. Marxists are stringent mPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The West as in the national governments and the corporations and the culture, yeah. The people are mostly fine, just very misled. There are a lot of fascist types and so on but they're a minority. Western chauvinism is pretty ubiquitous but it can be unlearned since it's so easily debunked.

>This still buys into naturalism and individualism
Read the German Ideology.
<Communism is quite incomprehensible to our saint because the communists do not oppose egoism to selflessness or selflessness to egoism, nor do they express this contradiction theoretically either in its sentimental or ‘it its high-flown ideological form; they rather demonstrate its material source, with which it disappears of itself. The communists do not preach morality at all, as Stirner does so extensively. They do not put to people the moral demand: love one another, do not be egoists, etc.; on the contrary, they are very well aware that egoism, just as much as selflessness, is in definite circumstances a necessary form of the self-assertion of individuals. Hence, the communists by no means want, as Saint Max believes, and as his loyal Dottore Graziano (Arnold Ruge) repeats after him (for which Saint Max calls him “an unusually cunning and politic mind”, Wigand, p. 192), to do away with the “private individual” for the sake of the “general”, selfless man. That is a figment of the imagination concerning which both of them could already have found the necessary explanation in the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher. Communist theoreticians, the only communists who have time to devote to the study of history, are distinguished precisely by the fact that they alone have discovered that throughout history the “general interest” is created by individuals who are defined as “private persons”. They know that this contradiction is only a seeming one because one side of it, what is called the “general interest”, is constantly being produced by the other side, private interest, and in relation to the latter it is by no means an independent force with an independent history — so that this contradiction is in practice constantly destroyed and reproduced. Hence it is not a question of the Hegelian “negative unity” of two sides of a contradiction, but of the materially determined destruction of the preceding materially determined mode of life of individuals, with the disappearance of which this contradiction together with its unity also disappears.

>We can fix society
Only if society lets you live. Zealots will not see the end of the revolution.
>All desires are artificial
Actually, yes
>because language is artificial
According to the mimetic theory, as long as there is enough language to convey positive or negative affect while demonstrating a desirable or undesirable action, you have the necessary rudiments to create desire in others.

>Recombination is a pervasive process generating diversity in most viruses. It joins variants that arise independently within the same molecule, creating new opportunities for viruses to overcome selective pressures and to adapt to new environments and hosts. Consequently, the analysis of viral recombination attracts the interest of clinicians, epidemiologists, molecular biologists and evolutionary biologists. In this review we present an overview of three major areas related to viral recombination: (i) the molecular mechanisms that underlie recombination in model viruses, including DNA-viruses (Herpesvirus) and RNA-viruses (Human Influenza Virus and Human Immunodeficiency Virus), (ii) the analytical procedures to detect recombination in viral sequences and to determine the recombination breakpoints, along with the conceptual and methodological tools currently used and a brief overview of the impact of new sequencing technologies on the detection of recombination, and (iii) the major areas in the evolutionary analysis of viral populations on which recombination has an impact. These include the evaluation of selective pressures acting on viral populations, the application of evolutionary reconstructions in the characterization of centralized genes for vaccine design, and the evaluation of linkage disequilibrium and population structure.

Queer identites are useful for capital because they have less kids so the costs of workers is lower if the cost of labor does not include the costs of childbearing. Obv. this contradicts with capital's desire to increase labor supply.
