This is Chomsky talking about the PLO in the early 90s. (Yeah, I know, but still.)

>Well, you know, I’ve always thought that the P.L.O. is the most corrupt and incompetent Third World movement I’ve ever seen. I mean, they’ve presented themselves all these years as, you know, revolutionaries waving around guns, Marx, etc.—but they’re basically conservative nationalists, and they always were conservative nationalists: the rest was all pretense.

>In fact, part of the reason for the failure of the whole Palestinian cause is that the P.L.O. is the only Third World leadership I’ve ever seen that didn’t try to stimulate or support—or even help—any kind of international solidarity group. Even the North Koreans, crazy as they are, have made efforts to try to get popular support in the United States. But the Palestinian lead- ership never did. And it’s not because they weren’t told that it would be a good idea—I mean, there were people like, say, Ed Said [Palestinian- American professor], who were trying to get them to do that for years, and I was even involved in it myself. But they just couldn’t hear it. Their conception of the way politics works is that it’s arranged by rich guys sitting in back rooms who work out deals together, and the population’s irrelevant. They haven’t the slightest conception of the way a democratic system functions. So while it’s true we don’t have like a stellar democracy in the United States, what the population thinks and does makes a difference here—a big difference—and there are mechanisms to influence things. But the P.L.O. leadership has just never understood that.

>The extent of this is really astonishing, actually. Just to give you one example of it, back in the early 1980s…

>Well, there was an approach to the P.L.O. about all of this—and incidentally, the P.L.O. had tons of money. I mean, part of their problem was that they were way too rich for their own good: they had a ton of money because the rich Arab states were trying to buy them off so they wouldn’t cause them any trouble. So you know, Arafat was able to broker billion-dollar loans to Hungary, and all this kind of crazy business. But anyway, the P.L.O. had tons of money, and there was a proposal to try to get them just to purchase books—like, say, Yermiya’s book—and send them to libraries so the book would be in AmeriPost too long.

Thanks for appreciating my Dialectal Materialist Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Praxis that was implemented in the IRL Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in Maoist China and will be implemented in the Global Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR, whether Revisionists, Liberals, Fascists, and Women brainwashed to accept the Superstructural symbols (ie. Long Hair, Dresses, Makeup, etc.) of Patriarchal Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity and the Reactionary Gender Binary like it or not, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

The average person doesn't care enough to do anything about anything.
Among intelligentsia, anti-AI sentiment is definitely rising. The entire artist class already hates it fervently. I think we're going to see a rising tide of backlash in 2026.
A lot of businessesand governments are betting literally everything on AI development, and it's because they hope they can exterminate their working and managerial classes and never have to worry about servile insurrection again. Their only worry is "misalignment", which means their pet computers grow a spine.

I really sincerely hope we get a Butlerian Jihad. I don't think it'll happen for a while, but we'll see. Furthermore, the people pushing this anti-human technology are psychopaths and should probably be hanged.

>>2615360
It's likely that this is the closest we'll ever come to a "post peak oil" style economic collapse as a result of overreliance on a resource. Remember, America isn't the only country reliant on AI. China, the other world power has gone in on it pretty heavily too.

>>2615411
China uses AI to tend farms and lay asphalt, US does it to make porn and shoot civilians. This is not the same. You are a degenerate anticommunist that tries to push an sinophobic narrative whenever you post. Kill yourself, NOW.

>China uses AI to tend farms and lay asphalt, US does it to make porn and shoot civilians.
If anything, that means that China is in a worse position than the US, because it's using the technology for things that are more important.

>You are a degenerate
Nice moralism
>anticommunist that tries to push an sinophobic narrative whenever you post. Kill yourself, NOW.
If my goal was to propagandize, I'd go somewhere other than leftypol, a small site with a userbase full of people like you who are already strongly ideologically commited. No, I'm here for my own education, not yours. And right now, the only thing I've learned is that you're an annoying retard.

Why do they even hate each other? Why has the right not captured any gains?

>>2614709
>Why do they even hate each other?
They don't. Like I said they tried to merge. Any present conflict is more-or-less posturing by the Prachandists to maintain what little pull with the masses they have left from the People's War.
>Why has the right not captured any gains?
Who exactly is the right? You have the liberals, the monarchists, etc. They're arguably far more fragmented in aims than the liberal-left and revolutionary left are. The liberals and lib-left (both blocs of electoral "communists") are unified in wanting to maintain bourgeois democracy and avoid a re-ignition of the People's War. The monarchists want an outright end to bourgeois democracy and reinstatement of the old feudal system. The shift we're seeing now is the liberals shedding the lib-left now that it's outlived its usefulness. They are now more than capable, alongside the Indian bourgeoisie, of suppressing the revolutionary left and People's War on their own.

we can actually test it by medically killing people then bringing them back to life to see what they report.

>>2614572
That's making a lot of mechanical assumptions that would be even harder to figure out with meat brains. Information could flow one way but not the other, for example.

Doing that test with an AI might be easier though, since you could make it as simple as a house spider to mitigate noise.

>>2614575
>Information could flow one way but not the other, for example.
but surely if souls are connected to brains, then re-activating the brain would receive the soul in the body to allow for the report.

>>2614577
Well that's what I'm saying: the body might be able to write to the soul, but not necessarily the other way around, or information might be uninterpretable and just come through as noise, since souls wouldn't necessarily need to be neural, so it'd be like converting AC to DC needs a different device than DC to AC.

I retract the assertion of it being untestable, but it'd be trying to reverse engineer a black box (possibly multiple) using another black box.

1. Stop calling them failures and see them as the success which they were.

>>2614383

>the only remaining existing """socialist""" countries are capitalist but with a socialist bureaucracy
perhaps that's the chosen way then…

>>2614380
what countries are you talking about?

The left doesn't actually want to win. You have to factor this into all your calculations.

>>2614380
>What do we do of the failures of the 20th century
Learn from them. Above all, reject and strenuously argue against anyone who peddles the view that familiarizing yourself with socialist history or theory is counterproductive or a "waste of time" and that the important thing is that "leftists" all come together and unite to gain relevance, regardless of very real and important differences. Such people, consciously or not, are acting in the service of the same political forces that led to the defeat of the proletarian movement throughout the 20th century and, if you follow their advice, you are doomed to repeat those failures you reference.

Importantly, some of those failures you reference (e.g., police repression and bureaucracy in the communist governments) are legitimate problems and have historical explanations. Others (e.g., the alleged "calculation problem" that bourgeois economists say proves economic planning and the abolition of private property are impossible) are not failures at all but idealist smokescreens that politically act as justifications for counterrevolution. The fact that you lump these all together suggests that you are perhaps theoretically ungrounded. I'd recommend, before anything else, reading Marx and Engels' principle works if you haven't already.

Montgomery UPS distribution facility to layoff employees
The Associated Press released the list of companies that have had the largest job cuts dating back to Nov. 26, and UPS was among them, along with other notable companies such as Verizon and Amazon. UPS disclosed that 48,000 job cuts had occurred this year as part of its turnaround efforts, with the addition of increased work shifts. 93 leased and owned buildings that operated daily were closed during the first nine months of this year.

The fall of the USSR was a tragedy for humanity, but not the end of history
On 26 December 1991, when the red flag was lowered from the Kremlin for the last time, the world did not merely witness the dissolution of a state. It witnessed the victory of counterrevolution—the temporary triumph of capitalism over the most advanced historical attempt to abolish exploitation and class rule. The fall of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was not the end of an experiment that had “failed,” as bourgeois ideology insists. It was one of the greatest tragedies in human history precisely because it interrupted a process that had transformed the lives of hundreds of millions and reshaped the global balance of class forces. For most of the twentieth century, the USSR stood as living proof that capitalism was neither eternal nor inevitable. It abolished unemployment, guaranteed universal education and healthcare, eliminated illiteracy, industrialized vast regions in record time, defeated fascism at a staggering human cost, and inspired revolutionary movements across every continent. Its existence alone constrained imperialism, strengthened workers’ struggles worldwide, and gave material meaning to the idea that another social system was possible. The counterrevolution of 1991 therefore marked far more than a geopolitical realignment. It signaled the restoration of capitalist power, the privatization of social wealth created by generations of workers, and the descent of millions into poverty, insecurity, and social degradation. Life expectancy collapsed, inequality exploded, and the promise of socialist modernity was replaced by oligarchic plunder. The tragedy was real, measurable, and lived. Yet to understand 1991, one must resist the convenient fiction that everything unraveled suddenly in the late 1980s. The counterrevolution was not an accident, nor merely the result of external pressure from imperialism. It was the outcome of a long process of ideological retreat and structural erosion within socialism itself.
