There was economic bubbles when railways and the internet were first introduced but it didnt stop these technologies from being implemented.

"AI will save us" is the same religious impulse that gave you the rapture of the nerds, singularity posting, and every other technofix that lets you avoid the actual problem: who owns the thing. A language model trained by a company answerable to venture capital and running on GPUs owned by Amazon and Microsoft is not a neutral force floating above class society. It's a productive force, and like every productive force under capitalism, the question isn't "is it powerful," it's "who controls the surplus it generates and who gets thrown out of work by it." Marx wrote about this with the steam engine and the power loom in the 1860s and none of the logic has changed just because the machine is quieter now.

>words words words Yeah, that's the job. You don't build class consciousness or a cadre or a program by vibing. Every successful revolutionary movement in history (the Bolsheviks, the Chinese CP, the Vietnamese) did enormous amounts of unglamorous political education and organizational work before anything looked like a insurrection. If "they're trolling you and all you do is type" bothers you, the fix isn't to stop explaining things, it's to actually organize something in physical space so the theory has somewhere to land.

>Will the AI save us all?
it wont even save the VCs that have deposited trillions of dollars into it, but it's also forcing silicon valley into baring material relationships between workers and bougies in order to sell a compelling product to each other, to the point where people associate AI with class warfare in an instinctual level, so who knows.

i agree with your main point but none of those were particularly effective revolutionary movements when the full historical record is taken into account and i would argue that political education and organizational work are not the primary driving force of revolutionary action, the real secret sauce is something even more unglamorous than that, which simply solitude and quiet contemplation. reading books is helpful for learning things that people already know and have already done before, but a truly effective revolutionary movement requires revolutionary ideas, ideas that no one has ever thought or said out loud or written in any book before, and the only way to achieve that is to do what all the most revolutionary thinkers in the world have done since ancient times which is to isolate yourself from society and all of its noise and distractions and be completely alone with nothing but your own thoughts for an extended period of time. long enough to where you get so fucking bored that something finally snaps in your brain and you become deeply attuned to everything as your brain responds to the starvation of stimuli by becoming more sensitive and noticing and thinking about things that it would normally take for granted and not being constantly cajoled by outside influence, and in that state of mind you can come up with some truly unique and novel ideas. of course, if you're a working class adult it's a lot harder to do this in the modern era than it was in the past with so many distractions and obligations in our high-tech industrial society that is designed in just such a way that dropping out of society has disastrous consequences and often results in permanent exile, so there's not a whole lot of genuine revolutionaries in the world these days.

Judge deals blow to Trump moves to deport pro-Palestinian activists
U.S. District Judge Noel Wise in San Jose, California in a blistering ruling, chastised the U.S. State Department and U.S. Department of Homeland Security for how they had deployed provisions of federal immigration law to target non-citizens for deportation for expressing views they wanted to suppress. The judge, an ​appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, said that in the United States, free speech, including the freedom to criticize the ​government and its leaders, was evidence of the strength of the country's democracy.

US revises statements suggesting Chinese hackers attacked agencies
In a newly edited statement on Friday, the US Department of Justice said that the Senate, the Federal Reserve, NASA and other agencies were “among the targets of QTFY”, a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group. A previous version of the statement said the government agencies had been among the hackers’ victims.

Trump’s DHS is using an obscure law to secretly snoop on journalists, non-profits and unions
In February of this year, federal prosecutors twice sought search warrants for account information for the YouTube channel of Fort and the journalist Don Lemon, both of whom have pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in connection to a protest at a Minneapolis church in January that they were covering. A judge twice rejected the request, writing that the government had failed to establish probable cause of a crime and that he wanted Lemon and Fort to be informed of the request so they could have a chance to challenge it.

Who Attended Jake Lang’s N-Word March in Minneapolis?
Minneapolis, MN — On Saturday, Aug. 22, Minneapolis residents met white supremacist provocateur and violent J6 terrorist Edward Jacob “Jake” Lang with fierce resistance outside of Minneapolis City Hall once again. For his second hate rally in Minneapolis, Lang planned this one as the "uyghur March” in protest of Shiloh Hendrix being found guilty of disorderly conduct after calling an 8-year-old the racial slur at a playground in Rochester, Minnesota. Instead of arriving unprepared and leaving with a gaping wound in the back of his skull, Lang showed up in the back of a truck with a private security escort following closely behind in an SUV, driving down the sidewalk of City Hall while he and his masked guards doused counter protesters in a generous amount of pepper spray. Minneapolis Police provided additional support to Lang by guarding his truck and punching and pushing counter protesters, arresting a handful, including the person dressed as Spider-Man who had jumped onto the truck and punched Lang. As quickly as they arrived, they left. Halfway through the six-minute performance, Lang snuck away into the passenger seat of the cab, leaving those that remained in the back in something resembling a group fetal position, shielding themselves from debris while dozens of police officers cleared the way for the vehicles to leave. Hours later, the Minneapolis Police Department announced that officers intercepted both vehicles, impounding them and arresting all of the occupants, charging them with probable cause riot and processing them throughout the afternoon at the Hennepin County Jail.

Rezgar Akrawi: Rojava’s Promise and the Dissolution of the SDF: Time for the Left to Rethink the Kurdish Question?
From this it follows that criticising the SDF is not criticism of the rights of the Kurdish people. Criticising the ruling parties in the Kurdistan Region is not criticism of the Kurdish cause. Rejecting the nation-state is not a rejection of national identity and national rights. It is a leftist position, one that calls for national solidarity to be freed from subordination to elites and authorities, for the question oPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Liberal point of view. We are at an age where there is a vast ontological change. The collective is beginning. We are starting to experience things as a collective, a class, not individuals.

OP quote is kinda meh, imo, but this is definitely pure kino:
>Born in Pomerania, Mattick became politically active during the German Revolution of 1918–1919 as an apprentice at Siemens. He joined the Spartacus League and later the Communist Workers' Party of Germany (KAPD), participating in radical actions during the turbulent Weimar Republic. Emigrating to the United States in 1926, he settled in Chicago and became involved with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and later the unemployed movements during the Great Depression.
Dude was a revolutionary at age 14. Based.

>>2902415
You should read the whole interview anon. Mattick basically describes neoliberalism (to be honest it also works for neoliberalism's crisis today) from basic Marxist first principles, which can be clarifying given how many media pseuds and pundits are talking about it today.

Uhh ancient societies can't be fascist because fascism means mass politics. Cut to triumphal procession where the defeated enemies are marched through the square in chains and everyone cheers as concubines and slaves are distributed.

if hitler had been slipped a dose of sleeping pills and he woke up in a perfect replica of the bunker on a remote island in the south pacific staffed with actors who were exact lookalikes of all the soldiers and staff and the ss high command and their families and eva and even his dog and simulated explosions constantly going off outside to deter him from going out and he was completely oblivious and he carried on giving orders and dictating letters and berating his subordinates and denouncing his subjects as traitors and cowards and throwing tantrums and ranting about jews and communists and bemoaning the destruction of the aryan master race and all his usual business, would he still be a fascist?

what about a crazy guy in a lunatic asylum who genuinely believes he is ᴉuᴉlossnW and he gives passionate speeches in italian and he is even allowed to dress in a ᴉuᴉlossnW costume because it's the only way the staff can keep him from tearing his clothes off and running around in the nude screaming and breaking things and he is constantly getting in trouble for bossing around the other patients and cheating at the board games and refusing to share the crayons during arts and crafts time, is he a fascist?

struggling to destroy the present conditions is exactly what people are refusing to do, which is what makes them maladaptive. Struggling is adaptation.

Public workers union helped sink labor nod for Lander
The union’s president, Henry Garrido, said in an interview Thursday that Lander’s audit of New York City’s Health Insurance Stabilization Fund as city comptroller was a factor in the opposition to his endorsement. The report, which recommended the fund’s dissolution, angered the union. “Our members were really upset about that,” Garrido said. Lander has also been at odds with the union after the group backed moving retirees to a MPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Sudan: from revolution to barbarism
The counter-revolution has pulled Sudan into the depths of barbarism.
In 2019, the workers had power in their hands, but the reformist leaders betrayed them and handed power back to the regime. By 2022, the revolution was lost. A year later, the revolution’s executioners turned their guns on each other, each backed by a constellation of different foreign powers. Now they have laid waste to Khartoum, launched a genocide in Darfur, and unleashed the world’s most catastrophic famine in 40 years. To date at least 400,000 people have been slaughtered, 4 million have fled the country, and a further 7 million have been internally displaced. More than 30 million are in need of humanitarian assistance, of which 6.3 million face extreme levels of starvation. Two and a half years of war have effectively ripped the country in half. Socialism or barbarism is not an empty phrase, but exactly the perspective that faced Sudan in 2019. Revolutionaries must absorb the lessons of Sudan to prepare for future battles.

Kshama Sawant: Mayor Mamdani, DSA Leaders, and Business Unionist Labor Leaders Are Selling Out New York Public Sector Unions
The teaching assistants, who work with students with disabilities, are grossly underpaid and overexploited, with annual salaries starting at under $34,000 and topping out at under $57,000 after about 15 years of work. This is in a city where the minimum individual pay to get by is around $80,000. Not surprisingly, over 1,800 teaching assistant positions, also known as paraprofessionals, remain unfilled. The City Council’s legislation is strongly supported by the United Federation of Teachers, the union that represents over 200,000 workers in NYC’s public school system. Despite the dire conditions faced by the paraprofessional public school workers, and himself having acknowledged that a NYC family needs an annual income of over $300,000 to be able to afford childcare, Mayor Mamdani opposes the $10,000 bonuses. Mamdani, currently the most prominent leader of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), has announced that he will be suing the City in order to repeal the bonuses.
