Also the Terminator movies. (More laser guns though but I can see lasers being used more as defensive anti-drone weapons.) Making the small robots is easy but to get them to work like that will mean plugging them into an AI brain, so that's what is going to happen.

Why don't armies just use microwave weapons against drones then?
They cheap and fry the inside of the drone disabling them

It's also very cheap to protect them with a faraday cage so those weapons would work a grand total of a few days/weeks until this is set up. Even random protestors already came up with solution against microwave riot weapons so an half assed organized military would have no issue.

Tensions Escalate Between Resistance Groups in Mandalay Region
Four members of the People’s Defense Force (PDF), the NUG’s armed wing, were killed and several others injured by PLA land mines while inspecting camps abandoned by withdrawing PLA forces, according to locals and the PDF group. The intergroup dispute stemmed from the PLA’s arrest of an alleged junta informant within an NUG-controlled rural area of Taungtha Township.

Gig Companies Are Using Your Data to See How Low a Wage You’ll Accept
Ride-hailing companies have long used algorithms to determine how much to pay drivers for a trip – and tech vendors in the US are now exporting that model to other sectors, according to a Washington Center for Equitable Growth report from last year. According to the report, platforms like Uber and Lyft track users’ personal data – like how often they find work through the app and for what wage – to find workers who will accept the bare minimum without the protections that come with fixed-term contracts.

‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison
After a three-week trial, a jury found eight of nine protesters guilty of “providing material support to terrorists”, among other crimes. For the Sotos, this “material support” included owning a “printing press” used to print anarchist zines and being part of a leftist book club, the federal government argued. The couple had already left the scene by the time guns were drawn. All eight of the defendants sentenced so far have received unusually harsh sentences – 30 to 100 years – essentially life in prison.

Judge bars immigration arrests at US courthouses in a setback for Trump
The Trump administration’s reversal of long-standing policy against arrests at immigration court resulted “not from merely unreasoned decision-making but a complete lack of decision-making,” wrote U.S. District Judge Casey Pitts of San Francisco. Authorities failed to address the “chilling effect” of arrests on whether people attend court hearings.

“Starmer is the symptom, not the disease”, says the Communist Party of Britain
"Keir Starmer is a symptom of Britain’s political crisis, not its cause. His successor must realise that unless Labour ditches Starmer’s toxic cocktail of austerity, economic insecurity and war, the next political crisis will bring a far-right government to power. Starmer’s resignation less than two years after a general election in which Labour won a parliamentary majority of 174 seats, confirms the failure of his authoritarian New Labour tribute act, and the increasing instability of Britain’s ruling class.

Tudeh Party of Iran, "War Profiteers" and the Need to Achieve a Lasting Peace!
…. In the midst of these clashes, after the Islamic Republic’s retaliatory attacks on US bases in the region, Trump threatened to attack Iran much harder and seize Iran’s oil resources, including Kharg Island. Trump’s outrageous remarks exposed the aggressive nature of US imperialism to the judgment of world public opinion even more than before. However, after the world expressed concern and condemned Trump’s position, and considering the adverse consequences that the long-term closure of the Strait of Hormuz would have had for the world economy, including the United States itself, Trump, claiming that the leaders of the Islamic Republic had been in contact with him and were serious about peace, announced that the principles of a general agreement or understanding with the Islamic Republic to end the war had been finalized and that an agreement or memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two countries would be signed soon. The events of recent months have shown once again that the Islamic Republic is facing a series of internal and external challenges, each of which alone can endanger the stability of the ruling political system. However, what today, along with the external threat, seriously challenges the ruling regime is the internal situation of the country. Iran's economy is going through one of the most difficult periods. Chronic inflation, devaluation of the national currency, increase in poverty and unemployment, and the spread of social inequaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>How come there aren't any communist mass shooters?
because adventurism and terrorism are retarded tactics that lead to failure. The rise of the far right is owed to burgeois support not chud retards shooting up supermarkets and mosques.

>>2848727
Right now you come across precisely as what you are: a schizophrenic retard virtually indistinguishable from Polacks screeching about (unfalsifiable) shadow Jewry, apropos an unsubstantiated accusation you conjured up because something reflexively triggered you (which is already much closer to actual left-com behavior, btw–classical projection).

>>2827837
mainly because I don't think there's any leftist political literature that says "shooting random groups of people will establish communism."

If you think about it, communism requires sociability and human cooperation as both an ideological tenet and as a practical means of organizing for its goals.

Not to say the left doesn't do violence. It does. It's just usually coordinated and with so much attempt at a greater purpose.

Also i suspect communists are much more likely to just kill themselves the to go do a mass shooting as a form of physical and social suicide. Why this is, i have no evidence for other than a lack of communist mass shooters and an abundance of right-wing/liberal mass killers.

Maybe, but I read Mark Rudd's autobiography about his time in the WU and his account makes them sound like a bunch of idealistic rich kids with money and connections who absolutely could not handle the fact that nobody took them seriously. Before the Weather Underground, they were in SDS. They met with a Vietnamese delegation and basically asked, "How do we start a revolution in America and help defeat the US military?" The Vietnamese response was more or less: please don't. Organize peaceful protests, donate money if you can, and remember that the Vietnamese and American people aren't your enemies.
That absolutely shattered them. They wanted to be Che Guevara, instead they got told to hand out flyers and write checks. The Vietnamese were trying to be practical, but the SDS radicals heard it as condescension. They were so desperate to be taken seriously as revolutionaries that being told to do something useful felt like a personal humiliation

This was a genuine argument among some Western Maoists. They insisted that the Vietnamese had fallen under the sway of Russian chauvinism and saw the invasion of Cambodia as evidence. It was fucking hilarious

>Vietnam’s naked aggression against Kampuchea and the Kampuchean people reached a new level with the capture of the capital city at Phnom Penh on Jan. 7. After a 16 day full scale armed invasion involving over 100,000 troops and heavy aerial bombing, the Vietnamese are now claiming control over “almost all” of Kampuchea.
>Under cover of their puppet organization, the “Kampuchean National United Front for National Salvation” formed less than one month before the invasion, the Vietnamese claim that they have rallied the Kampuchean people behind their leadership.
>Yet despite their claims of widespread popular support, resistance to the Vietnamese invaders continues to be fierce throughout the country. Fighting is reportedly heavy at the country’s only deep water port at Kompong Som and several islands northwest of it. The Kampuchean army still remains in control of the provincial capital at Pursat, 100 miles northwest of Phnom Penh. In addition heavy fighting continues in Battambang, northwest Kampuchea’s major city, Sisophon 30 miles east of the Thai border and at Nimit 13 miles from the frontier.
>These examples of resistance reflect the heroic revolutionary spirit of the Kampuchean people. As our Chinese comrades state, “The capture of Phnom Penh by the Vietnamese does not mean the end but the beginning of the war.” As is evident the Kampuchean Revolutionary Army and people under the leadership of the Kampuchean Communist Party (CPK) are already actively waging a people’s war. While the Vietnamese control the towns, the Kampuchean army remains strong in most of the countryside enjoying the full support of the people. Ieng Sary, Deputy Prime Minister of Kampuchea, speaking in Peking said that Kampuchea would continue fighting even though its army was heavily outnumbered by the Vietnamese. “We do not have so big an army but wePost too long.

I don't think so but thanks for the recommendation

I wish the Chinese proletarian Maoists well
Talk about a concentration of the revolutionary subject holy shit

>>2848615 (me)
Also. Mud is thicker than blood. In China, many peasant families were exploited by their own relatives. Any bourgeois or bourgeois minded family members being reckoned with in struggle session are practically hostage and on trial, always, until broken, tending further towards reaction in proportion to intensity of the struggle session. They naturally serve as ideological punching bag for any proletarian family members according tk the principle of "curing the disease to save the patient."

>>2848599
No shit it’s not real class consciousness. I literally say to use populist rhetoric and messaging, not socialist class analysis, before moving on to the latter if/when the subject in question has been primed for it. That does not mean “reject the latter” and hide that you’re a socialist, but to recognize that if the person you’re speaking to is hostile to socialism, you need to meet them where they’re at first. Workers don’t spontaneously become socialists through abstract propaganda; they usually enter politics to fulfill immediate concerns: wages, taxes, housing, etc. the point is to begin with workers’ actual concerns and then show how these concerns are tied together through class struggle. Hence why Lenin started with “Peace, Land, and Bread” and then moved on to “Power to the Soviets”.

>Marxism demands an attentive attitude to the mass struggle in progress, which, as the movement develops, as the class-consciousness of the masses grows, as economic and political crises become acute, continually gives rise to new and more varied methods of defence and attack. Marxism, therefore, positively does not reject any form of struggle.

>Hence why Lenin started with “Peace, Land, and Bread” and then moved on to “Power to the Soviets”.
Peace, land, bread is a slogan which hides material demands. Talking about elites mystifies things. PLB arose during war, famine, crisis. Here we are talking about particular family members. You must see that political slogans based in material demands of a class used to mobilize the class are different to populist, anti-communist rhetoric used to mobilize Legion, for there are many. You must understand that PLB came after 1905, and 1905 didn't come because bolsheviks engaged in populist rhetoric, but because they held the party line. Lenin radicalized an existing movement based in class, this is not the fucking same as talking with your family about the 'elites' or 'fair wages'.
>>2848669
What fucking 'trvke'? It's trying to use Lenin's theory of spontaneity and consciousness to explain (a fucking elephant) a minuscule local issue (a fucking mosquito) which isn't even necessarily class related, and fucking fails at doing exactly that. It's impressive.

>>2848781
>Peace, land, bread is a slogan which hides material demands. Talking about elites mystifies things.
They both mystified things. Do you think the average peasant, which made up the majority of Russia's population, gave a damn about soviet power, which was far away from them in a city that in their mind they had little in common with? The only thing they care about was small property ownership, food, land, and not getting shot. This and capitalist initiatives were why kulaks were able to expand in the first place. Unless you are clearly defining your policies via class analysis there will always be a level of abstraction that hinders, but can also potentially benefit, depending on how you use it.
>PLB arose during war, famine, crisis.
Capitalism is constantly facing crises. Arguably we are even facing one right now.
>populist, anti-communist rhetoric
The point is that the two can be connected, not that we should be doing one without the other. These are people who have a fundamentally pathological hatred of even just the word "socialism", due to 150+ years of 24/7 brainwashing. You cannot even speak to them using this word or they will immediately tune you out. Starting a conversation with concepts that, while incorrect, have the potential to break down these walls is not anti-communism unless you deliberately refuse to connect the two concepts. Socialists in the SSRs, such as Romania and Germany, used populist/nationalist rhetoric to initiate with the masses even when it wasn't their ultimate goal, such as when Karl Radek gave that (misguided) speech in 1923 where he attempted to connect the KPD's goals to German nationalism.
>1905 didn't come because bolsheviks engaged in populist rhetoric
The material conditions were, as you acknowledge, fundamentally different. They had a large amount of socialists, whether Narodniks or Mensheviks or Bolsheviks or SRs or whatever, and the term was not outright demonized. Moreover, even when not demonized, the majority still think either "socialism is when the government does stuff" or "socialism is okay, but communism is le evil and these are somehow two distinct things". We are personally still closer to 1850 than to 1917, unfortunately. This does mean we must Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
