Immerhin geht's ohne Stottern und um 360°-Verhaspeln. Wenn man Merkel für irgendwas nen Orden verleihen sollte dann dafür, daß sie uns Merz, Koch, Guttenberg & Co. wenigstens für ne Weile vom Hals gehalten hat, wenn auch nicht nachhaltig. Koch ruiniert als Manager in der "Freien Wirtschaft" erfolgreich Baufirmen, Merz hat es leider doch noch ins Kanzleramt geschafft und der Plagiator treibt im Hintergrund als Lebenspartner von K. Reiche erneut sein Unwesen im Wirtschaftsministerium. 2028 dann AfD/CDU-Koalition - schlimmste Zeitlinie, auch wenn das zumindest Teilen der AfD-Wählerschaft die Augen darüber öffnen dürfte, was für ner Pseudoalternative sie aufgesessen sind. Die werden dann 2032 aber eher Freie Sachsen, Wertpapierunion und ähnlichen Krebs wählen, weil bei ihnen keinerlei Klassenbewußtsein vorhanden ist.

Today I learned: Eberhard Liss from Karl-Marx-Stadt in the GDR invented the by neurobiology inspired Robotron, 4 years before Kohonen and Hopfield published their works on Neural Networks.

Interesting. Robotron was the DDR's biggest IT manufacturer. It was a partner of my school for ESP and PA classes, so i assembled PCBs @ Robotron for a short time. Where's that image from? Couldn't source it myself. There's some talk on German LinkedIn about an early AI patent from 1982 also by Eberhard Liss of Robotron. It's called "ASSOZIATIVE KOPPELMATRIX ZUM STRUKTURELLEN LERNEN UND ASSOZIIEREN AUS ERFAHRUNG". It's a neural network for machine learning. The pic you posted seems to be a different patent, but also related to machine learning/AI.

In other news: The German Communist Party just got all their bank accounts terminated. It's the latest case of "debanking" political opposition in Germany, some anti-war activists suffered it before as well, so did prominent rightoid activist Martin Sellner.
That's why communists must fiercely oppose the abolishment of physical/cash money.

>LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - The Japanese yen is too weak, meaning the gap between the currency’s spot rate and what is consistent with Japan’s economic fundamentals will likely narrow in the coming years. That amplifies risks of a sudden unwind of the yen carry trade.

>The USDJPY cross rate is currently around 155, near the top of its multi-decade range of 80 to 160, having experienced an explosive rally since early 2022 when it was trading near 115.

The main driver of this slump has been the yawning yield differentials between the U.S. and Japan.

>While the Federal Reserve and many other central banks were compelled to raise their interest rates sharply in 2022 to combat elevated inflation, the Bank of Japan kept its policy rate negative and maintained full operation of its yield curve control (YCC) program, which manages long-term rates, until March 2024. Only then did it reset its policy target rate back near positive territory at 0.0-0.1%.

>Since then, under Governor Kazuo Ueda, the BOJ has very gingerly raised the policy target rate to the current 0.50%. But that is not only lower than the current U.S. federal funds rate of 3.75-4.00% but also well below Japan’s CPI inflation of 3.0%, meaning Japan’s real interest rate is still deeply negative.

<WRONG TYPE OF INFLATION

>The weak yen has, unsurprisingly, stoked inflation in Japan.

Crisis status?
>>2586219
What does this mean?

>>2586273
The "unrealized loss" part means that the value of the bonds has declined without the bonds being sold. This is happening even as the price to purchase those bonds have also declined, though apparently not enough to make buying them attractive. In essence, no one is buying Japanese bonds from these regional banks, which means they're being loaded with bad assets they can't sell, because they'd lose money on the transaction, thus "realizing" the loss.

I am officially reopening the CRISIS thread.

The Balkan Peninsula, approximately the size of Germany but with only two-thirds of its population, is carved up into numerous independent states. In these tiny states, each possessing its own army, currency, and customs system, or belonging to this or that economic union or military alliance, live numerous nations and peoples, shattered into separate fragments. The borders between these dwarf states were not drawn in accordance with ethnic realities or national needs, but are the result of wars, diplomatic intrigues, and imperialist interests. The Great Powers have always had a direct interest in pitting the Balkan nations and states against one another, only to subject them to their own economic and political influence once they have mutually weakened themselves.

The petty dynasties of political compradors ruling these 'fragments' of the Balkan Peninsula have served, and continue to serve, as levers for European diplomatic intrigues. This entire mechanism, founded on violence and treachery, constitutes an immense burden that suffocates the Balkan nations and stifles their economic and cultural development. The peninsula, richly endowed by nature, is senselessly partitioned; people and goods constantly run up against the barbed wire of state borders. This slicing of nations and states into numerous strips prevents the formation of a unified Balkan economic space, which could serve as the foundation for a great expansion of industry and culture. On top of everything, there is debilitating nationalism, created to maintain division and generating the danger of wars fatal to the peninsula's progress.

The only way out of this national and state chaos is the unification of all the peoples of the peninsula into a single economic and political entity, based on the national autonomy of its constituent parts. Only within the framework of a unified Balkan state can an individual people connect into a single cultural community while enjoying the benefits of a common economic union. Only united Balkan nations can truly stand up to the predatory aspirations of European imperialism.

The state unity of the Balkans can be achieved in two ways: from above, through the expansion of the European Union, neoliberalism, and capitalism—this is the path of oppressing weak nations, a path that consolidates imperialism and militarism; or from bPost too long.

Based. He's exactly what most socialists should strive to achieve. His worker's self management objectively worked great and produced one of the "best" economies in the block in terms of consumers goods and quality of life.
The goal of a federated country with socialist self-management and macro-economic planning is probably the most viable path that we should aspire for

>but muh decline & unemployment
The decline and unemployment were initiated by the Party. In essence, the party would subsidize failing companies and incentivize them to hire workers even when they didn't do anything. This caused massive debt that the party couldn't fund and high taxation within the most productive republics, which eventually enflamed the nationalist tendencies.
Unemployment, which was pictured as an ontologic problem, wasn't as endemic as people tend to think. Slovenia, which was the most succesful republic, never had above 4% unemployment iirc. A competitive market alongside state-owned companies directing the economy could've guaranteed low unemployment for everyone.

Iirc Stalin got mad that he didn't get to manage and integrate Yugoslavia into his sphere of direct influence

>Worker co-operatives are a reactionary step backwards
Anon you can't have any more "workers' control" than with self management

French people North of the Loire are all Nazis. French people south of the Loire are sexually insatiable. French communists barely exist. They do not deserve a thread here.

>>2590516
Then by using material dialectical analysis the French communists must live in the Goldilocks zone of the Loire banks after elimination of the local sexually insatiable nazis, the search must start there.

yes, but that involves the Fr*nch doing something sensible, which goes against their genetics.

Also in the same polls have the most positive reception to "socialism" and the highest group to oppose War with Venezuela. It is less a moderate group but more that the bloc chooses moderate candidates.

Man US tech is now just a completely anti-social industry. None of these companies are even attempting to make a product that’s good for society, or even community, at this point. The goal seems to be some completely autistic culture of people with locked in syndrome who can’t even think, can’t hold a conversation, can make a meal, can’t even function.

You are a liberal. Go back to brunch.

Boring. Another thread criticizing a nonexistent "third worldism" completely divorced from what anyone calling themselves that actually believes.

>The great turdworld cope that China, Russia, India and maybe Turkey and Brazil is gonna team up into an anti imperialist avenger
>Playing defense for corrupt and extractivist oligarchs in the third world in the name of building productive forces, that just undercut the reason why so many people became anti imperialist in the first place.
>the old rhetorics of building productive capability and bourgeois nationalism
Third worldists do not believe this. If anything, this describes the aspirations of Dengites and social fascists who glorify BRICS as if it's the second coming of the Warsaw Pact. Organizations like MIM don't need you slandering them like this.

Third Worldism is slur for Communism. You are anti-Communiust imperialist fascist swine.
>What even is the point of this shit anymore?
Only one of doomed exploiter and oppressor classes questions history like this. You know your existence is put to question by Communism and you only feel doom.

>>2590880
>Third worldists do not believe this.
You are wrong. All second and third world countries will rise against amerika. You are fake Maoist. The revolutionary national bourgeoisie of the third and second world will eliminate the corrupt extractivist monopolists and build productive forces

The point is for western leftists to cheer on mass death and exploitation of brown workers in the name of lesser evilism

>>2590800
Lies. The bourgeois intelligentsia and counter-revolutionary reformist 'left' have been exaggerating the effects of nuclear war for half a century. Atomic war is not only eminently survivable, but a necessary catalyst for the mass organization of the working class to overthrow capitalism and establish a post-apocalyptic socialist society.

of course, but it won't happen because it's just another ploy to get the US to commit to go to war with Russia on Ukraine's behalf. the much better solution is for Ukraine to lose and Zelensky to be executed.

A nazi-with-liberal-charactistics governments being replaced with a neutered-liberal government is still progress and it represents a true end of the war.

>>2590730
It won’t happen, Zelensky is not “ready” for an election, he commits unironic terrorist attacks at the mere mention of diplomacy. Because while long lasting peace is unlikely to be found in the negotiation room, eventually Russia’s refusal to acknowledge Zelensky’s authority to sign papers will very likely result in the west holding an election in Ukraine to select someone who technically would have the authority. It goes without saying that Zelensky is very unlikely to be that select and also unlikely he remains a free man in that eventuality.
