Honestly thought of actually-existing socialism as kind of like a dictatorship of schoolteachers so you might be fucked tbh

I'd add that universal public schooling was one the key demands in the Communist Manifesto. Marx and Engels sketched out a list of policies that would be sort of the starting point for a communist society and that was one of them.

Another day another evidence that anarchists are the most stupid species in the universe

What's stopping me from turning around, taking the whip and whipping they instead?

Yes but police and soldiers are a minority. In the US especially people have easy access to weapons

The five other guys with guns watching you get whipped.
>Yes but police and soldiers are a minority. In the US especially people have easy access to weapons
yes but those cops have the technological infrastructure, the military grade gear, and the support of local government to enforce their might that is right.

The fear of getting whipped again. I don't care how tough you are, it won't take more than a few good licks on the bare back with a bullwhip or a birch switch to drive all those silly thoughts of rebellion out of your mind and make you realize what is actually most important to you in your life, which is to not get whipped again.

Maine Ballot Measure Is Testing the Power of Graham Platner’s Volunteer Army
In an unusual turn of events, arguably the most well-organized opposition to the ballot question has come not from the Democratic Party, but from Graham Platner’s upstart Senate campaign—which is still less than three months old. By the end of this weekend, more than 3,000 volunteers across 23 locations had attended an organizing training event put on by Platner’s campaign. Platner, an oysterman and military veteran from eastern Maine, is vying for the Democratic nomination to take on Republican Sen.

984 - The Killing Fields feat. Jasper Nathaniel (11/3/25) (Chapo Trap House)
Jasper Nathaniel is back with another report from the occupied West Bank. He tells us about a band of West Bank settlers attacking him and locals in the olive fields of Turmus’ayya, including an old woman who was beaten unconscious on camera. He then talks about the Israeli military and intelligence’s response to the crime, the footage actually breaking through to the mainstream Anglophone press, and various U.S. Senators’ response to the attack. Finally, he closes with speculation about Trump and Netanyahu’s refusal to sign on to an official West Bank annexation.

Bill Gates Wants Us to Do Less About the Climate Crisis
When Bill Gates speaks about climate change, the world listens. That’s why his new essay, “Three Tough Truths About Climate,” is so troubling. Gates argues there’s “too much” emphasis on “near-term emissions goals,” ostensibly for humanitarian reasons. He says we should focus instead on the more serious issues of “poverty and disease,” in part because technology will solve the most severe climate impacts. Yet the points in his essay are neither “tough” nor “true,” but belie the same ideology that has sabotaged climate action for half a century: a refusal to confront power. When billionaires preach tech fixes and innovation, they’re not offering hard truths; they’re just aiming to avoid regulation and protect their freedom to pollute and profit. Gates’s advocacy for breakthroughs — fusion, carbon capture, “clean” cement — as a way to reconcile rising living standards with a stable planet is just a rebrand of the fossil fuel industry’s favorite myth. If salvation lies in carbon capture or advanced reactors, then drilling today becomes an act of faith in tomorrow’s miracles. Consider Occidental Petroleum. The oil major is building “Stratos,” a vast carbon capture operation in Texas touted as a model of “climate progress.” Yet its CEO has been explicit: the technology’s purpose is to “preserve our industry over time,” giving it “a license to continue to operate for the next 60, 70, 80 years.” These schemes aren’t designed to reduce emissions — they’re designed to ePost too long.

>An America that reindustrializes is an America that is incentivized to burn money.
America will eventually have to produce its own commodities once it no longer has world reserve currency hegemony

>>2547866
all AES innit

>>2548254
All the people that would be producing commodities cannot pass a drug test or show up to work sober

Americans are too fat to have real jobs in a factory, a field, or a mine. Taking them out of the cubicle is like taking ice out of the freezer.

You can’t find Pho in China so yes it’s a real national identity

>>2547178
The Vietnamese hate the Chinese for its long history of imperialism against them. The Vietnam War was more of a war of national liberation against foreign powers than it was a communist revolution.

>>2548482
That’s literally been every “communist” revolution since 1917, even in Russia it was mostly to stop the war

All these acronyms are not a framework for any "global state" and have little to do with one another and are just a bunch of international treaties or trade agreements, or in the case of the UN, a useless organization that doesn't really do anything.

>>2510046
Yes, the problem with globalism is not the fact that the globe is connected, but that the very term as we know it refers to globalized capitalism, as capitalism built this system of globalization. This goes back to my OP. The problem with globalism is the same problem with regionalized arbitrage combined with localized monopolies. You have companies in various countries who have near monopolies on certain industries, and then they enter the global marketplace where they have zero restrictions on abusing their power to arbitrage their own workers and consumers for the greatest profits.

Brazil as nobody has a reason to nuke it + its too far away for land based missiles. But even if left untouched, nuclear winter would destroy their crops and mass starvation would occur.

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.
