I just finished reading The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) by Thomas S. Khun and it struck me as one of those instances of a non-Communist person being dialectical materialist on accident. I actually don't know what his attitudes towards Communism was, but since he was born in the USA and spent almost his entire adult life in the Cold War, I assume it wasn't good. But nevertheless, I found this to be a very intriguing but short book (he calls it an essay) which analyzes science not as a static teleological method based on making falsifiable conjectures and attempting to refute them through experiments (as with Popper) but as a continually evolving and socially constructed human enterprise based on changing paradigms, which continually rewrites and simplifies its own history in order to abridge the process of raising and training new generations of scientists. Science continually subdivides into new fields, and old paradigms are continually replaced with new paradigms through the process of crisis formation and resolution. Old theories are abandoned, and the very process of raising and training a new generation of scientists in a given field introduces only the current dominant paradigm and its main problem/solution methodologies (called "normal" science) to avoid burdening the student with the entire historical background. But as scientists engage in experimentation, they uncover anomalies which the dominant paradigm cannot explain. At first this is fine, because paradigms reign as long as dominant theories are able to explain most phenomena encountered in daily work. Anomalies are just treated as mop up work for normal science. But as anomalies accumulate there is crisis formation and entire paradigms get called into question, leading to scientific revolution. He compares this to social and political revolution and it reminds me of the whole Scientific Socialist thing about the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes. I'm probably explaining it poorly but I'm wondering if anyone else here has read this book and gotten anything out of it, or maybe even if you thought it was trash, say why.

It's just a sad reality that after 1950, dialectical materialist writers started caring more about impressing people with word salad and less about conveying clear ideas in the plain manner of Marx, Engels, and their immediate successors. So it's not surprising that there are post-1950 works outside of explicitly leftist works that have more to offer.

Capitalism can only end when profit is no longer the incentive and is rendered useless, that requires either resource depletion or a change of the MOP as to underminet he cost of labour and the need for employed labour.

Never in history has a mode of production been forcefully "fought" and replaced, there was no capitalist movement to end the feudal mode of production, nor for any in the history of civilization. Communism is a bourgeois movement that postures as the real process of change, when change can only come when the mode of production runs its course.

There is only one thing that people who want change can do - they can wait.

Who wrote about abolishing the feudal mode of production 200 years prior to industrialization? Thats what we're at with Marx, and 200 years later it is still the capitalist mode of production. Where were their analyists? Where were their great men? Which was the great capitalist nation that fell during feudalism only for capitalism to come to be later? What was their USSR?

>>2721198
There was no capitalist movement during feudalism, it all came to be after the industrial revolution, which was spontaneous as a result of random smart asses rediscovering the steam engine. The bourgeois didn't have to suffer like we did, they got it all handed to them right there and then.

>What was their USSR?
technically speaking the dutch republic, more accurately parliamentarian england during the civil war, for a good while afterward a large amount of reforms were placed in to reduce the growing tide of liberal capitalist reform, like in france, parts of germany, etc, it was only in the latter half of the 18th century that liberal capitalism started to be a real force

uygha they spent centuries theorizing liberalism before the feudal order actually fell wtf is everyone talking abt

There's a handful of people in London that work there full time, none of them get paid very well. Some international events that have to be financed and we're very set on owning any real estate offices are in because we don't want to get into a situation where we could get kicked out by landlords.

Trump administration launches US military operation in Ecuador (War On Drugs cont.)

Critics have questioned the increasing scope and deadly consequences of US anti-narcotics operations in Latin America.

“On March 3, Ecuadorian and US military forces launched operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador,” General Francis Donovan said.

“The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism.”

The statement was accompanied by video footage of military helicopters taking off, as well as black-and-white aerial surveillance imagery of figures boarding helicopters on the ground.

The announcement appears to be part of US President Donald Trump’s broader push against criminal networks and drug cartels in Latin America.

The scope of the Ecuadorian operation is not yet known, but several US news outlets have reported that it is so far limited to supporting Ecuadorian troops through logistics and intelligence, citing government sources.

Lebanese government orders army to avoid fighting Israel's ground assault
There was a previous order for the army to resist any ground incursion, but political authorities decided the situation could not sustain confrontation and instructed no engagement with the Israeli army. Yesterday, the Israeli army announced the launch of forward defence operations in northern towns.

Iranian officials say Israel carried out some of the drone strikes on Gulf energy sites
Two other Iranian sources told MEE that Israel's foreign intelligence agency, the Mossad, had carried out some of the drone attacks, adding that the Islamic Republic had detected their activity on Iranian soil. They said that authorities were in the process of locating the warehouses used by the Mossad to store their drones and that Iran was committed to "taking them all out". "We would not be surprised if there are such warehouses and operational rooms in other countries in the region that Israel would use to target our Gulf neighbours from," one of the sources said.

US submarine sinks Iranian warship as conflict spreads beyond Middle East
At least 87 Iranian sailors were killed in the attack on the Iris Dena on Wednesday. The frigate was sailing in international waters as it returned from a naval exercise organised by India in the Bay of Bengal. The torpedo strike prompted questions from former US officials about whether Washington’s aim of eliminating all of Iran’s military breached international law.

Record Numbers of US Workers Are Raiding Their 401(k)s in Trump Economy
Even as President Donald Trump has declared that the US is in a “golden age” with the “greatest” economy on record, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that a record number of US workers are dipping into their retirement savings. The Journal cited recent data from Vanguard Group showing that 6% of the 401(k) plans it administers took a hardship withdrawal in 2025, up from 4.8% that took such a withdrawal in 2024.

And yet we won't be hearing a peep from any bleeding heart liberal in the west about that. But I guess that's good, even if in a convoluted way: since Iraqi women are deserving of the west's attention - and therefore of a west-led liberation - than we won't probably see Iraqi female schools getting bombed in broad daylight.

Nikos Mottas : Mass Expulsion in Lebanon as Israel Expands War: “We Don’t Know Where to Go”
The recent alert in Cyprus following threats of Iranian drone and retaliatory missile strikes once again exposes a dangerous reality that governments in Athens and Nicosia persistently attempt to obscure: the presence of U.S., NATO and British military bases turns both Greece and Cyprus into potential targets in an expanding imperialist war. For days now, the wider region has been moving ever closer to the possibility of a generalized confrontation in the Middle East. The escalation triggered by the aggressive policies of the United States and Israel against Iran has already created a climate of extreme tension across the entire Eastern Mediterranean. Within this volatile context, the British sovereign bases in Cyprus—long used as operational hubs for military interventions in the Middle East—have been placed on heightened alert amid warnings that they could become targets of retaliation.

Hundreds in Minneapolis Protest the War on Iran
“From Iran to Palestine, stop the U.S. war machine,” chanted the crowd of hundreds that showed up to Chicago Ave. and Lake St. in south Minneapolis on Feb. 28 for an emergency anti-war protest against the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran. Just hours earlier, at least 165 people — mostly schoolgirls — were killed when bombs struck an Iranian elementary school. “These shameful attacks happened right in the middle of U.S.-Iran negotiations,” said Sarah Martin, from Women Against Military Madness (WAMM), into a megaphone hooked to speakers sitting in the back of a truck in the lot of the building that formerly housed Roberts Shoes. “While the Iranian Foreign Minister and his Jordanian counterpart announced that the negotiations were going well, Trump ordered the military attack.” As of March 4, over 1,000 Iranians have been killed by U.S. and Israeli air bombings, including the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with many of his family members and several high-ranking officials. Speakers at the protest shared a main theme; they didn’t trust the government’s reasoning for the preemptive attack, while many noted how thPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I've got a really long history I'm not gonna Dear Diary about, but I've been around a bit.
Even though I was part of various groups that are Alt-Right I have always had various Left-of-Center beliefs. I felt like I was the only one that understood the

Just generally after 18-something years, I'm tired of this crap. These are some of the most useless, in-fighting, bought-out, dogshit people I have ever dealt with

and I want off the fucking ride.
I can't say I don't believe in some

things and I feel like they're hard-coded and baked into me. Some aspects I don't fully buy into, but I don't feel like walking away from because I don't necessarily feel like they are not incompatible to me with various aspects of Leftism.

Yes, I agree with this sentiment.
Democrats could literally get every White Southern vote right now. All it would take is a bit of Dixiecrat and actually doing something for the Working Class instead of people who hate us because we exist and live a certain way.
But that implies I suppose Democrats are really left or want a solution

This is why I'm a Secessionist. It's totally pointless to expect real change in the current Federal system. It can't exist without the MIC and Capitalism and it knows it.

Comrade Kim Jong- un 's speech at the Sangwon Cement Complex
(Pyongyang, March 2, Korean Central News Agency)
Dear Comrade Kim Jong- un gave a speech at the Sangwon Cement Complex.
The speech is as follows:

Comrades!
The proud working class and workers of the Sangwon Cement Complex, the nation's pride, strength, and most revolutionary force!

Having successfully concluded the 9th Congress of the Party and now facing a new struggle, the first thing that came to mind was the working class of the Sangwon, to whom I wanted to express my special gratitude as I looked back on the struggles of the past five years throughout the Congress period. So, I visited this enterprise first after the Congress.

The deeds of our esteemed comrades who faithfully upheld our Party's bold choices with unwavering loyalty over the past five years, which were by no means easy, and who greatly contributed to its implementation, should be widely known throughout the country and deserve everyone's respect.

A haven for the elderly - Pyongyang Nursing Home
On the banks of the Taedong River in Pyongyang, a picturesque city, stands the Pyongyang Nursing Home, a distinctive Korean-style building with a gable roof.
Pyongyang Nursing Home is a wonderfully constructed sanctuary for the elderly, with Comrade Kim Jong Un personally initiating its construction and meticulously caring for it from design to material supply.
The residents here say that there is not a single thing in the ondol bedrooms, including the mats laid on the floor, the fluffy cushions, the backrests, and the wardrobes, that is not imbued with the warm affection of the respected Comrade General Secretary .
Everyone's heart is filled with emotion as they listen to their stories of tasting the first fruits of the season and receiving new clothes from the government.

When the residents miss their grandchildren, they visit the children at the nearby Pyongyang Orphanage and Pyongyang Children's Home. They also enjoy a peaceful life, tending to plants in the home's beautifully decorated hydroponic greenhouse. They are also provided with delicious and nutritious meals, so all the residents at the Pyongyang Nursing Home say they truly envy nothing.
There are days when our people recall with passion the more they see their bright faces.
On the first full moon of the lunar year in 2015, the respected Comrade General Secretary visited the construction site of the Pyongyang City Nursing Home (at the time) and gave valuable instructions regarding the construction of the nursing home.
He paid meticulous attention to every detail, from the problem of arranging the bedrooms with the right combination of ondol rooms and rooms with beds, to the tiles for the washrooms and bathroom floors, to the gardens and greenhouses where the nurses could work to their heart's content.
Even on this national holiday, when the entire nation enjoys a moment of respite, the elderly are enjoying the rest of their lives at the Pyongyang Nursing Home, which was built thanks to the warm love of the respected General Secretary , who cared for their well-being with the same kinship. (End)
