The African union has set up another military to continue to stabilize Somalia.

For context, since the first intervention, there has been a visible decline in the country’s insecurity. Many of the volunteers for the AU were from well, Africa. Many of these were from Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Egypt, and some parts of Southern Africa.

Personally, I just want the union to get this mission over with. They have been in there since 2009. The Somalian government should be way more active in getting an issue resolved.

The controlled opposition "Left" has once again shown its true colors by condemning the man alleged to be the shooter. Even here, they're telling us we should feel sorry for le poor heckin' rat that apparently got fired and got screwed out of their rat money.
>But here’s the thing: his defiance isn’t unique. He’s not some outlier. He’s just the latest to show what happens when despair collides with determination. This is bigger than one man. This is about the millions facing the same system, the same despair, the same crushing indifference. The regime can smear him, bury him, or even kill him, but they can’t stop the truth from spreading: this system is unsustainable, and those it’s destroying will not go quietly.
What the Lenin larpers miss is that the Bolsheviks were merely the culmination of decades of struggle. It didn't start with mass movements, it started with various Anarchists and Nihilists assassinating Tsarist officials. We're in that stage right now. I have absolutely no faith in the contemporary "Left" right now to do anything for the people; in fact, I consdier them to be an obstacle to revolution.
>The government doesn’t want that story out there. They fear what happens when people see this trial, hear the arguments, and understand the scale of the systemic rot. They fear the memes, the viral videos, the court exchanges that will shine a light on a system designed to chew people up and spit them out. They fear what happens when millions realize they’re one injury, one medical crisis away from being in his shoes. That’s why they’re scrambling, trying to smear him, dredging up tweets, pushing culture war nonsense to muddy the waters. But here’s the real question: can they afford to let him have his day in court?
I think they're already going to have him conveniently "commit suicide" so that he can't get the message out, assuming he's actually the shooter and not just some patsy that was stood up because the cops were looking like incompetent idiots.

Part I:

As a Mutualist I have been constantly criticized and attacked by planning-obsessed Marxists for my insistence that markets are more efficient. I don't just think they are more efficient, I think they are more liberating. On the other hand, I am the kind of Mutualist who is marginalist, meaning I rely on the Law of Marginal Utility and the subjective theory of value, because it is scientifically more correct than the labor theory of value of Marx and the classics. In fact, I firmly believe that the subjectivity of value justifies that workers should take ownership of companies, because it better satisfies the marginal utility of the worker. Furthermore, by demonstrating that value is subjective, that it resides in us, it is also demonstrated that the capitalist's profit (the obtaining of value) does not come only from exploiting the worker and that he does not necessarily need to exploit the worker to obtain value (if he exploits the worker it is because he wants more profit, not because he can only obtain it by taking it from him). This means that it is unjustified for a capitalist to keep all the property and the profit, and for the worker to only eat crumbs of the minimum wage.

I follow the subjective theory of value, and based on this the satisfaction of the worker's utility will be achieved when the worker obtains property and can grow proportionally with the company to satisfy himself, this is a powerful incentive and is psychologically correct, since in the search for profit based on the equal or fair share of property, the entire company will grow, since the worker will seek to satisfy his utility, that is, to grow his share and not depend on a salary that does not incentivize him to do anything. In fact, it is well known today in capitalism that when an employee is given shares, he is more motivated because he knows that if he works better, his shareholding will grow and therefore the company will grow, benefiting everyone, in other words, Mutualism. That's why I'm mostly a Mutualist, I divide the property among the employees and everyone works to make the whole grow based on the parts

Call me petty bourgeois or whatever you want, it doesn't matter to me, I'm working class and I come from a working class family, so I don't want planning, give me my corresponding share of property brrrr

Anyway, I was asked to provide evidence of why planning doesn't work, well here's why:

Are the bourgoisie actually this retarded to let the entire planet go to shit just to stay wealthy and above everybody else?

There is climate change, continuous economic downturn, looming war with countries like China and Russia with nuclear implications, a rising Third World that will rid itself of the sheckles of Western imperialism, and in the face of all of this they STILL choose to drag the entire planet down to keep their wealth? Really? Are they THIS retarded? The bourgoisie can't be that retarded, right?

Why not simply choose to give up? Seriously. Lose your luxury in return for the entire planet not being destroyed. This whole hiding in bunkers idea is also retarded, because their resources are only going to last so long, it's a shitty lifestyle to reside in a bunker while the world experiences armageddon and your guards are probably going to kill you eventually.

They can not be THIS retarded, are they?

>Hizballah
All their leaders have been killed, as well as their replacements and the replacements of their replacements. A headless organization that's only a shadow of its former self. Getting rekt by Israel as we speak.
>Iran
A nation humilated by Israel. Fighting hyper inflation as of right now. Population increasingly frustrated with the gov and may overthrow it if given the opportunity. Losing influence every day.
>Assad
Had to go. Living in a cuckshed in Moscow, probably under house arrest. Only alive because Putin allows it.
>Putin
Thought he could invade Ukraine effortlessly, got rekt by his foolishness. Rubels are becoming worthless. Has to beg Kim Jong un for weapons and soldiers.
>Hamas
Most leadership killed, vast majority of troops killed, so cucked they’re allowing Israel to keep occupation troops in northern Gaza as part of a ceasefire deal, lost hard because Sinwar honestly believed Iran would come to his aid during the Oct 7th attack but got stood up and evetually clout martyred by a 19-year old IOF cadet.
>China
Doesn’t give a shit. At all.

“Axis of Resistance” = Axis of Failure

You used to get tarred and feathered for being a scab, for crossing the picket line. We aren't debating this shit. I'm sick of the fucking debate culture, man. Let's do violence. Violence is the solution. You cross the picket line, you get tarred and feathered like it was, like it's 19-fucking-19 again, brother. That's what we need. That's the energy we need. Because otherwise we're just gonna be spending our circles fucking dealing with dumb motherfuckers like Destiny for the rest of our fucking days, instead of actually doing things that make a fucking difference.

>Democratic Kampuchea was le meme anprim and wanted to destroy productive forces for no reason
That's false

DK planned and made concerted efforts to develop industry and grow the proletarian class. Their coat of arms featured a factory ffs. The ruralism was a temporary forced measure dictated by current material realities, i.e. Phnom Pehn being mostly dominated by colonial and comprador bourgeois enterprises, and being under imperialist attack. It's like calling Lenin an "anprim" because he moved the capital from Saint-Petersburg to less developed Moscow because the former was encircled by reactionary forces. Khmer Rouge was a totally regular M-L revolutionary movement seeking a DotP

>DK killed 100 gorillions
Half made up with no evidence, half inflicted by American bombings. There are claims like this about every socialist state (Stalin killed 20 million! Mao killed 50 million!) and modern leftists tend to disbelieve all of them, except this one for some reason. I remember how my high school history teacher scared us with a tale about how Cambodian schoolchildren would be taken out and slaughtered with hoes if they got bad grades, obviously a hilarious fanciful fabrication from him, but some self-proclaimed communists today would believe it

>DK invaded Vietnam
I would agree it was a terrible and retarded decision, also I'm not even a Maoist. However, at the same time, can you truly say every socialist state had a spotless foreign affairs record? Consider the Sino-Soviet split, Stalin dismantling the Comintern, Mao meeting Nixon etc. Most communists today would say they like Mao although perhaps disagreeing with some of his later international policies, but at the same time they would condemn and demonize Pol Pot wholesale.
DK didn't "skip straight to communism by abolishing everything" as some trolls say and indeed they made fatal mistakes, but neither was it a "reactionary anprim movement with no redeeming qualities that has nothing to do with communism". It was a ML movement that succeeded at some things, failed at others, from which we should learn. I think modern leftists just see it as a "convenient pawn" that they can "sacrifice" in debates with political opponents, iPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

What can be done about this phenomenon?
I think one of the greatest crises caused by the rise of American unipolar hegemony is the export of extreme anti-intellectualism, illiteracy, conspiracism, and sensationalism on the world stage
Hollywood and the American Music industry, US social media, vidya and interwebs have all combined to make an extremely stupid and vile global population that thinks communism is when infinite grave

11,000 people. Do you know how many Bolsheviks there were in 1916? I mean, I don't have a full fact check on this, but I heard there was about 20K. So you got 11K PSL voters in Florida, one state. 20K Bolsheviks in the USSR, or I guess Russia before it became the USSR. Doesn't sound to me like the left is dead in the West at all. Sounds to me like we're in the middle of those fucking weeks, if anything. Because here's the thing, I didn't vote for PSO, and a lot of other communists I know didn't vote for PSO. But they still got 11K votes. So maybe there's 15,000 of us in Florida. Maybe there's 20,000 of us in Texas. Maybe there's 30,000 of us in California, or everywhere. And those are just the people who know, concretely, that they're a communist enough to vote for it. A lot of communists don't vote. I didn't. A lot of communists don't even know that they're communists yet, because we haven't reached them. The left in the West isn't dead. It's seeing a revival greater than we've seen in many, many decades.
