The ubiquitous surveillance and enforcement apparatus makes revolutionary criminality impossible. Bakunin never accounted for AI and Flock cameras.

Childhood is beliving in planning, adulthood is embracing the market.

What I meant by market is a market socialist one, not capitalistic one.

get better bait

>>2878380
When you get older, kid, you will realize that planning is (and was) a failure, and the market (although imperfect) is far better for society.

Since Cockshott thinks that Althusser's ideas have become mystified in the anglosphere due to poor translations, are there any modern, better translations of him? I know Cock does not think highly of Althusser but given that he has felt the need to single him out, it makes me think that maybe there is something to it. He seems to have had an influence on Cockshott's conception of HistMat atleast.

Also whats the relation of Guattari and Deleuze to cybernetics? Is there anything worthwhile to be gained from reading them?

How so? I thought he agreed with him on the whole epistemological break thing.

You see so many of these guys on Rednote. I legitimately think the Chinese interest with western fascist aesthetics comes from hearts of iron mods and I'm not even joking.

Why do you pretend that han chauvinists have never existed in chinese history?

Self-domestication.

Secretive US court meant to deport alleged terrorists hears first case
The hearing, before the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, was open to the public and centered on Nazira Haji Zada, a 47-year-old lawful ​permanent resident accused of supporting Islamic State and helping conceal a failed Election Day 2024 mass shooting ​plot. Prosecutors say much of the evidence against the Texas woman cannot be publicly disclosed.

US to make visa bond requirements permanent, affecting mostly African countries
The program requires holders of passports from the affected countries to pay the bond to be interviewed for business and tourist visas — known as B1 and B2 visas — to travel to the United States. The bond is refunded if the visa application is denied or, if granted, if the person adheres to the visa terms. The Trump administration rolled out the program last August to crack down on visa overstays and as part of its broader efforts to curtail illegal migration. The government estimates that arresting and deporting visitors who have overstayed their visa costs about $18,000 per person.

Children face higher threat of US deportation as legal support deal expires
The expiring contract paid about 100 legal groups across the country to provide legal services to about 24,000 unaccompanied minors. The contract allowed the groups to enter government-funded shelters as part of their representation. It was unclear what would happen after the contract expires, or if they would still be allowed to access their young clients.

Brazil: Solidary Campaign for Venezuelan People Affected by the Recent Earthquake
The Solidarity Group with the Venezuelan People launched a fundraising campaign organized in Dois Vizinhos, Paraná. They are mobilizing to gather donations for Venezuelan people affected by the recent earthquake. Starting in July, volunteers are going door to door collecting supplies, such as non-perishable food, clothing, medicines, hygiene products, and other basic essentials. The campaign is rooted in a broader support effort: organizers say the group was formed to help Venezuelan families who came to the municipality to work, and who later faced difficulties, especially around housing and the costs of everyday life. With limited assistance after the initial period of employment, families often end up sharing small spaces and relying heavily on people’s solidarity.

China’s Upsurging Strike Trend
China is still the world’s worker’s strike capital. This fact is not always visible or perceived as such. The government of Xi Jinping, much to the linking of the capitalists, closes the siege against worker’s strikes with severity. Nevertheless, behind a facade of a unified, high-tech global powerhouse, this nation grapples with deep-rooted social unrest. Authorities frequently try to sweep these recurring conflicts under the rug, but undeniable reality makes them impossible to hide. The class struggle in China over recent decades has developed in the context of the country’s astonishing cycles of economic growth. In the first decade of the 2000s, rural struggles emerged prominently amid significant labor migration to export-oriented cities. Small farmers and rural workers clashed with local governments over the expropriation of their land, the advance of real estate development, and the rise of U.S.-style agribusiness. In the cities, from 2004 to 2008, strike movements blended the distinct characteristics of the Rust Belt in the North (where the former large-scale danwei system saw workers fighting layoffs and the restructuring of state-owned enterprises) and the Solar Belt in the South (where migrant rural workers demanded an enPost too long.

Rather than thinking of these things as individual moral problems, I prefer to think of the collective-action effects of social signalling.
e.g. it does not matter whether or not I buy meat, however, if I am a vocally annoying vegan and I convince at least one other person to stop eating meat and to become a vocally annoying vegan, and they convince at least one other person… and so on, and so on, then this aggregates to a structural effect which can meaningfully shift (a) demand for meat and (b) the social position of meat eating (hopefully in a less cool, lower-status direction, or at least into the "controversial" category, further amplifying this structural effect.) leading to (c) greater production of meat alternatives and investment in lab-grown meat as a consequence even in the less optimistic scenarios, and reduced meat consumption and profits on-the-margin in more optimistic scenarios.

This holds for BDS, or to a lesser extent for "ethically sourced" products (The problem with the latter is that there's always the incentive for enshitification.) and most other things slighted as "virtue signalling" - signalling matters! people will kill themselves to send social signals! "I, a cool person, refuse to associate with Israel because they are evil" - they hate that! they're always trying to coolwash themselves as a normal country!

It is true that having an individual moral framework distinct from this is also much more healthy, but it is a larger mental leap when you're used to thinking structurally and denying yourself. Sometimes you have to double down on your existing methodology.

>Ask yourself whether the cause you think is political has the potential to mobilize the masses
Well by that standard almost nothing is political. Whatever the scribes of the duopoly say, I guess. Back in the 19th century the abolitionists tried to buy products not made by slaves and it failed miserably, guess slavery wasn't political.

>it does not matter whether or not I buy meat
It does matter though. Every bit matters.

>That day is near unthinkable so in the meantime there still needs to be people around to coordinate plan and justify society around.
So just a world ruled by people like Sam Altman and Peter Thiel but labeled as "communism"?

Nothing actually changes it's just that class antagonism dissolves, thus the state ceases being one definitionally, since the state is an organization for the oppression of some class

it immediately betrays all of its principals by forming trade deals with capitalist nations and multinational corporations because we live in the real world where nations cannot function as hermetically sealed self-sustained habitats completely independent from the rest of the world, i.e. the global capitalist economy

>administration of things
Yes that's what Marxists call their state. It's funny because they style themselves as more erudite but it sounds dumber than the anarchist nonsense about horizontally federate communes or whatever.
