You assume people will enthusiastically step up to raise kids of people they would never see otherwise. Why would anyone actually work in a communal daycare or a babysitting program? Would you look after a child of somebody from your neighborhood? I've literally never seen anyone, even among commies or anarkiddies say that they're eager to take care of other people's children, never. At all.

>>2785892
Did you ever think that this was the result of a deliberately atomized and hyper-individualistic society? You understand that before capitalism, even even just a few decades ago, neighbourhoods and villages were more like extended families than the collections of isolated strangers they are today?

>>2775461
Nicely put. Very good post.

>>2785892
It's not necessarily expecting people to babysit children but rather trusting them to not rape, beat, verbally abuse etc children who are unsupervised. Our historical context has adults avoiding being seen next to minors in fear of being suspected, this is not conductive to a healthy society.
>Why would anyone actually work in a communal daycare or a babysitting program?
You should probably forward this question to people who work at daycares.

i suspect that there is a lot of rape in biological family that just goes under reported. my grandmother was raped by her own rather as a child, but he never went to jail for it and she never told anyone until her father was dead.

>it'd be great if they made it gradually less useless
It's already been proven useful in STEM applications, especially logistics, and in a country like China which manufactures 95% of all solar panels globally, the data centers don't even need to be as wasteful as they are in the USA. Also believe it or not machine learning uses less energy and time in a lot of its calculations than a human would doing the same thing. People hate hearing this but it's true. Just like Ludd's hand-loom weavers couldn't cope with the power loom, white collars can't cope with the machine learning. They are dragged kicking and screaming into the future against their will, with no way to RETVRN to what was before.

>>2784867
That’s assuming Chinese even exist at all, it’s probably a lie made up to justify military budgets

someone made a new one before the old one was full

>>2785232
So you're saying like, that a new middle strata always becomes the next ruling class instead of creating a 1 class society or a or 0 class society? That's like zeno's paradox but with classes instead of distance.

>>2785232
Well of course you can't abolish exploitation why would anyone be hired just to produce enough to support themselves. But under communism society exploits you instead of capitalists.

Hitler actually banned Fraktur:

> The Nazis heavily used these fonts themselves, although the shift remained controversial; in fact, the press was at times scolded for its frequent use of "Roman characters" under "Jewish influence" and German émigrés were urged to use only "German script".[7][8] On 3 January 1941, the Nazi Party ended this controversy by switching to international scripts such as Antiqua. Martin Bormann issued a circular (the "normal type decree") to all public offices which declared Fraktur (and its corollary, the Sütterlin-based handwriting) to be Judenlettern (Jewish letters) and prohibited their further use.[9] German historian Albert Kapr has speculated that the regime viewed Fraktur as inhibiting communication in the occupied territories during World War II.[10]

Those colombian groups are run like businesses and mafias rather than revolutionary orgs, don't get me wrong for random peasants it's much more preferable to be under their thumb than the fascist paramilitaries but I wouldn't put much hope in them.

Naxal gangs were run exactly like that, it depends on Levi (extortion). Police, CRPF and politicians also used to get cut from this extortion money. The naxal cadre are more like employees but you can understand how poorly they were paid from the fact that normal naxal cadres are more than happy to hop on to a job which pays them INR 15k a month.

>>2784409
I’ve been saying this for over two years now, the Naxal movement was already dead or dying. But instead of engaging with that reality, you kept dismissing me as a defeatist. The point isn’t that revolution itself is dead, it’s that we can’t keep treating che's guerrilla warfare like some kind of sacred doctrine. That approach has been flawed and has led to the destruction of many leftist movements. At this point, I’m almost convinced it was even promoted by the CIA.

>>2784409
It's been over for the Naxalites for decades. The Indian government just put them out of their misery.

the truth is, life is unfair, it doesn't care about you or anyone. it rewards some and punishes others for no reason.
life is absurd.
if life is absurd, and you succumb to nihilism, why not just kill yourself?
you need to view life from the perspective of "What keeps you alive" not "Why not just die", you must fight the absurdity of life with your rebellious absurdity.

>I am scared im succumbing to Nihilism

sometimes it feels like humanity will never be chill and have communism because sociopaths will always conspire to give themselves any kind of relative advantage, escalation dominance, ability to exploit others, monopoly on violence, etc.

>>2785974
That's why you kill all sociopaths. Treat them like sapient malignant tumors.

Many communists forget what Engels wrote about the United States where workers have to have their revolutionary socialist party independent of the bourgeoisie without being co-opted by republicans, democrats or libertarians.

<The first great step of importance for every country newly entering into the movement is always the organisation of the workers as an independent political party, no matter how, so long as it is a distinct workers' party. And this step has been taken, far more rapidly than we had a right to hope, and that is the main thing. That the first programme of this party is still confused and highly deficient, that it has set up the banner of Henry George, these are inevitable evils but also only transitory ones. The masses must have time and opportunity to develop and they can only have the opportunity when they have their own movement–no matter in what form so long as it is only their own movement–in which they are driven further by their own mistakes and learn wisdom by hurting themselves.

<Frederick Engels, “Letters: Marx-Engels Correspondence 1886”, Engels to Friedrich Adolph Sorge In Hoboken

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1886/letters/86_11_29.htm

Now with the quotes from Marx and Engels that it is necessary to remember:

<Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to public attention. They must not be led astray by the empty phrases of the democrats, who will maintain that the workers’ candidates will split the democratic party and offer the forces of reaction the chance of victory. All such talk means, in the final analysis, that the proletariat is to be swindled. The progress which the proletarian party will make by operating independently in this way is infinitely more important than the disadvantages resulting from the presence of a few reactionaries in the representative body.

You’d need a framework for it to spread that quickly, it’s heavily divided among different nations currently.

Personally I’m thinking maybe France would have the best chance. The USA is up in the air.

>Reverse 1989
Doubt it. 1989 was a domino effect that at best wouldn't have been a socialist catastrophic if the USSR didn't kill itself in 1991. The Warsaw Pact countries could have remained neutral and not a part of NATO if the Soviet Union was around. For example Poland didn't join until 1999. At best Eastern Europe would have been ran by some Eurocommunist trying to balance East and West. What I am trying to say is that 1989 was unique and a black swan event. A reverse 1989 would be trying to find something even more out of the blue than a black swan

You need a functioning communist party for a revolution to happen at the very least.

>Maduro Is Gone, and the Purge Has Begun
>The successor to Venezuela’s captured President Nicolás Maduro is purging the people who kept him in power. -NEW YORK TIMES

U.S. Special Forces brought down President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela swiftly and publicly.

Now, the people who kept him in power are being purged gradually and inconspicuously. Some have been fired or detained, and others are anxiously looking over their shoulders, worried they might be next.

Oligarchs close to Mr. Maduro’s family have been snatched from their homes. His political allies have been summarily removed from their posts. His relatives have been sidelined from business deals and barred from media appearances.

The housecleaning is being carried out by Mr. Maduro’s former vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, who is running the country under instructions from the Trump administration. The detentions and leadership purges have unfolded without public explanation, but often with the approval — and sometimes at the urging — of the White House, according to people close to Ms. Rodríguez’s government.

After Mr. Maduro was dragged off in January to a New York jail, Ms. Rodríguez presented herself as a reluctant and temporary stand-in for a fallen leader, denouncing his capture as an illegal attack on her country.

The overhaul of national leadership, combined with sweeping new laws and her alliance with President Trump, is reshaping Venezuela and its management of one of the planet’s largest oil reserves, just as the world grapples with the energy turmoil caused by war in the Middle East.

Part 2

Ms. Rodríguez’s caretaker post began hours after Mr. Maduro’s capture, on Jan. 3, with a fiery speech denouncing U.S. aggression. A week later, Ms. Rodríguez led a retinue of power brokers and Cuban officials to commemorate dozens of Cuban and Venezuelan servicemen who died in the American attack.

“We are not handing down a legacy of traitors and cowards,” Ms. Rodríguez said in a televised speech intended to project unity.

Most of those by her side that day have since been cast aside.

Mr. Maduro’s longest-serving minister, Gen. Vladimir Padrino López, was fired as defense minister in March and later given a much less important post running agriculture. Mr. Maduro’s son, Nicolás Maduro Guerra, and a son of Ms. Flores, Yosser Gavidia Flores, have been sidelined from lucrative business deals with the state, according to government insiders.

Mr. Maduro’s attorney general, Tarek William Saab, was fired, given a consolation post, and then fired again. Camilla Fabri, Mr. Maduro’s immigration envoy, lost her post. Days later, her husband was detained.

And then there’s Cuba’s foreign minister, Bruno Rodríguez. Since attending Ms. Rodríguez’s speech, he has watched his country’s decades-long alliance with Venezuela unravel in weeks.

It's not anti party or it would not be allowed to be published. The author is a professor in Beijing, are you saying the CPC allows anti party professors to freely disseminate anti party theory? The party allows for an open and scientific discussion and investigation of marxism, socialism and the stages thereof, within limits of course.

My critique of the image is that of course the real world doesn't fit so neatly into these little boxes with rigid and defined categories and traits, but overall it does a good job of illustrating how these phases could be considered

>>2785653
It is a conditional, why should anyone want to be a socialist if socialism has all the se anti human structures like money, capital, markets, and the firm?
