>Will they fire everyone, or will it blow up before it gets to that point?
no reason why both cant happen simultaneously, investors keep rewarding layoffs because it looks like they're optimizing for AI, but it's also masking the insane contraction the US is going through, the bubble collapsing wont create jobs from thin air, so layoffs will continue indefinitely.

yeah they're trying to get the government on the hook for depreciating GPUs lol, what's worse is that I think trump will literally buy sam altman's garbage anyway

>>2552929
i wonder if the trump admin has a choice, like within the bounds of what they believe or understand about economics what else can they do

>>2552933
i have no idea, because trump went hard on AI literally day two of his mandate, but he has failed to materialize the actual money for shit like stargate, so an alternative that could very well happen is that trump will promise to build this "compute reserve" and do nothing at all.

AI is constant capital, and believe it or not, it isn't all generative AI shit with no market. a lot of it really is being used to automate office jobs.

t. in an engineering firm where there were a bunch of layoffs of people who used to do emails and spreadsheets all day, now work on a dev team.

WW3 is not going to happen since what we have going on right now in Ukraine is the most any military-industrial complex on planet earth can manage right now. It's not a matter of "oh but they just don't want to mobilize", they can't. Stable bourgeois rule and austerity of the last 45 years made most economies far less adaptable and far more fragile. The only country that even has the capacity to produce electronics independently is China.
>but nooks
Not happening. Think of the economy!

China's century of Imperialism has already begun; what they're doing is very similar to Britain in the 1800s with e.g. Argentina

I think this does a lot to explain a lot of the Japanese socialists-turned fascists. I always saw Inejiro Asanuma as a very confusing figure but now he seems very coherent.
Basically, pre-fascist Japanese Communists were not really amongst the proletariat, they were mostly intellectuals.
By the way one of the only Japanese works on marxists.org is a guy complaining about this and begging for more integration with the masses https://www.marxists.org/nihon/yamakawa/1922/00001.htm
These intellectuals, as that pdf depicts Takabatake, did not arrive at socialism from class-consciousness, or a desire for internationalism, but rather because they saw the impending catastrophe that capitalism was bringing to Japan and saw communist development as a way to secure the Japanese national project in the face of this incoming disaster.
Hence, Asanuma joins the Labor-Farmer Party, Takabatake translates all three volumes of Capital, etc etc.
But then, Japanese imperialism really ramps up in the 1930s. All of a sudden, the Japanese bourgeois politicians go from hapless in the face of the catastrophe, to worshipping the military and pushing for imperial conquest. It seems like the crisis of Japanese capitalism can be resolved without socialism after all, by subjugating Asia.
So, all of these socialists, who care first and foremost about the Japanese national project, decide that the imperial path to resolving the crisis is far more feasible than the socialist path, and decide to convert to the most enthusiastic supporters of imperial conquest. For example, Takabatake establishes the Kenkokukai and Asanuma leads the charge in expelling Saito Takao from the National Diet after he questions the war.
Then, Japan surrenders. The Imperial path becomes completely off the table, and Japan is occupied by the United States, which waves the threat of incorporating various islands as UN trust territories. So, being genuine nationalists (I don't use that as a positive, just as a differentiator from the LDP politicians), they decide that the most feasible way to create a secure Japanese national state is to completely backpedal, Asanuma becomes a leading voice in the Pacifist movement and in cooperating with the PRC and the rest of Asia.

isnt this most succesful socialist revolutions? It seems nationalism and socialism ironically fit together the most

>>2548383
Yes, but if that's your only principle, it can also lead to siding with fascism if that seems a more feasible solution.

I think the real takeaway is that while reformist politics can do a lot to advance the position of workers and peasants in imperialized countries, it ultimately faces the exact same limitations as social democracy in the first world.

made up shit anon didn't say award.
try quoting what was actually said next time.

The USSR became imperialist in nature near its collapse (and agruable eariler).

While i understand what OP means, and I agree I wouldn't say feds are pushing this, proles in exploited countries are saying this, and they are right that westetn bourgesisie are profitting off of them, they neglect the fact the western proles are also exploited (although to a slightly lesser extent). I said this on another thread eariler but it is true and many maoists have this belief

Service economies. DPRK and Afghanistan have literally the highest numbers of small markets in the world and Afghanistan is expanding into tourism and accommodation and other bs.

>the rest
Excluded by me initial post, since they're like the 10 out 100 third world countries where the service sector isn't dominant.

nah, it never was, it was always giving more than it received from its bloc

Those are rather nice anon. I collect communist and communist adjacent paraphernalia when I can get my hands on it. Here's a picture of some pins I got in berlin

Literally every Zigga here is honest about supporting Russia against Ukraine, typically as a means to an end.
That's not the case with the vast majority of the "anti-campists" and "true" leftists, who are not honest about the fact that they're actually supporting Ukraine against Russia. This is evident from at least two facts: (1) their commentary is completely lopsided against Russia to the point of never saying a harsh word about Ukraine; (2) their activity in /ukr/ is disproportionately centered about moments of high-grade Ukro hopium, whereas a genuine anti-campist with no dog in the race would have more uniform temporal behavior, posting during both moments of Ukro hopium and Ukro doom, for the simple reason that such moments don't motivate his or her ideological stance.
