Are tanks just useless in 21st century warfare? They seem to function only as a way to intimidate to civilians at this point. However now even some of the most poorest resistance fighters can knock them out now with drones and other low cost anti-tank weapons.

Yeah, I'm sure he's really outraged. Anyway, to put it plainly: Tucker is controlled opposition ( almost too generous of a label but it's the best I can think of) and his role to obscure and re-frame reality as well as legitimize certain narratives. And to, in general, divert discontent into ideological cul-de-sac. he'll rebrand his rhetoric in whichever way he need to serve his interest, which is maintaining the US status as an empire, even if a regional one.

he even says in the video these clips are from that his real issue is that the empire is under poor stewardship. He doesn't critique the existence of a US empire, he normalizes it and frames it as in the interest of the American public. Any "leftist " sloganeering or talking points from him (and the power elite in general) or just in service of preserving their class interest. Which is an obvious fact to any run of the mill communist. Which makes the constant attempts of this brigade to sell the left on tucker all the more pointless.

Prices of oil are global. If oil prices stabilize (because of trading in Chinese Yuan) then also the petrodollar stabilizes. If the great mullahs had read Marx, they'd know, that for them to win against Ami, they have to collapse global capitalism. They, of course, will not do that, being that they are Kantian idealists, ideologically speaking.

This is a very disingenuous analysis and if anything just demonstrates your total lack of understanding of French Canadian history. Like, since Quebec historically has had some notable prime ministers, and in 2026 is wealthier than they were in the past therefore… the entire history of Quebec nationalism is totally baseless?

You are intentionally ignoring the very long and well documented history of intense and brutal colonialism that French Canadiens endured at the hands of the British. A great example of this history is The City Below The Hill by Herbert Brown Ames, a pretty widely known piece of Montreal history in the 1890’s. French Canadiens (along with the Irish, black, any many other groups) were effectively proletarianized and served for centuries as the Anglo colonial class’ labour base, enduring horrible living conditions - infant mortality for French Canadiens in the city was 1 in 3, French Canadien life expectancy was about 25 years while the English average around 50. They were, for most of their history, forced to live in wildly overcrowded English-owned slums with some of the highest tuberculosis rates in the industrial world. They were basically cannon fodder for the British colonial project in North America well into the 20th century. While French Canadiens obviously came to North America as settlers themselves, they were quickly subjugated to serve the interests of the British ruling colonial class.

It’s ironic that you write off the 20th century separatist movement as just the opinions of a petit bourgeois class and yet, you also say that Quebec’s grievances are irrelevant because a few very wealthy French speaking Quebecers of the ruling bourgeois class happened to either serve as PM or in government roles, and so that apparently disqualifies the exploitation and hardships of millions of regular working class French Canadiens throughout their history, none of whom obviously ever got to serve as a wealthy politician. I am not going to pretend like Quebec is the most oppressed community in the world or something. As you mention, there have been major reforms since the 70’s that have lead to them achieving economic and social parity for the most part with Anglo Canadians. But to look at their struggle through this ahistorical lens and just say shit like, “well, they’re allowed to speak their language now so wPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>You are intentionally ignoring the very long and well documented history of intense and brutal colonialism that French Canadiens endured at the hands of the British
No, I acknowledged that there were legitimate grievances in the past, however today there is no basis to regard Quebec as an oppressed nation within Canada.
>and so that apparently disqualifies the exploitation and hardships of millions of regular working class French Canadiens throughout their history, none of whom obviously ever got to serve as a wealthy politician
It doesn't disqualify them, but it doesn't mean that these have a national or colonial character. The point is to illustrate that French Canadians have not been significantly locked out of the highest echelons of Canada's political system due to their nationality. Their position isn't comparable to say, Indigenous people who had absolutely zero say in anything, no recognition of their cultural rights, and were not even recognized as full citizens until very recently. Of course the fact that two Quebecois wrote our constitution is of little comfort to working class French Canadians, but that's a class issue. It's not of any comfort to working class Canadians of any kind.
>why a formerly oppressed and proletarianized group of people may have a political desire for self-determination
I understand why they had a desire for self determination, I'm just telling you why I think those desires, or at least separatism as a means of achieving them, were misplaced. The fact that you acknowledge that they were formerly oppressed (i.e. are not currently oppressed) means that any oppression they faced was not of a genuinely colonial or imperialist nature. If it was then it would not be possible to resolve these issues within a capitalist-imperialist framework. This is why I made the comparison to Scotland. The Scots had plenty of legitimate grievances against the English, but these never rose to the level of making them an oppressed nation in the Leninist sense.

Quebec nationalists can claim to be socialist all they want, they dont believe in it. They are franco supremacists.

the white first world leftist who has never lost a comrade to the state, never risked his own skin in any struggle that couldn’t be Instagrammed, now wants to flee to China, not to join anything, but to live a normal life, to opt out of the gang war he was never in. He wants the safety that colonized peoples built with their blood, but he wants it as a vacation, not as a commitment. He wants the shelter of a nation that had to fight for its survival, and he wants it without ever having risked being buried in the same fight that the Chinese people fought when their time came, with no question. Pure tourism with a political alibi. You don't get to inherit the liberation struggle you spent your whole life watching from the bleachers.

I have reason to believe that individuals connected to the Jewish Defense League (JDL) have been surveilling me, and this goes beyond mere suspicion. I also suspect there have been attempts on my life using methods designed to appear accidental or untraceable. My cat died suddenly after a seizure; a subsequent test came back positive for arsenic. I also fell pretty ill around the same time-frame, a month earlier, and felt the same sensation as "alcohol poisoning" in my body.

Beyond that, there is a man I cannot seem to escape. He appears aggressively in different neighborhoods, often when I have my smartphone on me. The way he moves, the way he stares, it feels as though he is testing how easily he could walk up to me at close range and end my life. I have a reference point for this, sadly, many years ago, as a teenager, I witnessed someone walk up on a friend in an attempted murder. The shooter’s mannerisms and body language in that moment became a template in my mind for what a person looks like in the seconds before they try to kill a target. The man I keep encountering moves with that same quality, and demeanor, I swear, and he is always on a bluetooth. I noticed when I leave my smart phone in a safe location, that he doesn't pop up; and when he did it was just one time, and it almost looked as if he was confused (IE, looking for something), which wasn't his normal expression. This makes me believe my phone is giving my location away, and someone is dropping him off on foot.

What unsettles me most is the uncertainty. I cannot tell whether this is simply street‑learned awareness, the hard‑won ability to read dangerous people, or whether it is something else, a trauma response triggered by that event I never fully processed as a kid. Either way, the feeling will not leave my mind.

From what I can gather, this man appears to be an outside operator, possibly an addict, but connected to organized crime at a cartel or mafia level (I have evidence of that connection), not some random street criminal.

I cannot prove any of this, so I have not accepted it as reality, but the feeling persists. If anyone has information on this topic beyond what has already been shared in this thread, particularly anything that might prove useful, I would appreciate it.

Four months before my cat died, I was nearly run off the highway at 2 a.m. while riding my motorcycle. A box truck with dark, illegally tinted windows swerved directly into my lane, forcing me onto the shoulder at highway speed. There was no other traffic. It was deliberate. Around that same period, I began receiving threatening text messages, just emojis, no words from numbers that, when called immediately after they were received, did not exist. They were untraceable. I sincerely believe the JDL is working with other far right, racist American organizations as well, because I've experienced these same tactics down south, from white supremacists and their police.

>>2759313

It was only after my cat died, and the motorcycle close call incident that the man began showing up. This timing makes me wonder, did they decide to give up on “clean” methods? Perhaps when the subtler attempts failed to end things, they shifted to overt surveillance and intimidation. I have since changed my patterns, I move frequently, and I no longer accept food delivery, because I cannot trust what might be added to it. I experienced all of this while staying in Newark, NJ, which isn't that far from the topic of OP, in fact only 8 miles down the road.

>If someone produces 100 of commodity (x) yet can only sell 50 of (x), is the value of the commodities determined in what is produced or in what is sold?
Maybe my question was poorly worded. I was analogizing supply to production and consumption to demand. I said it because the guy in that video said "when you hear supply and demand, immediately think production and consumption."

>>2758669
>I was analogizing supply to production and consumption to demand
They are the same thing, just in different modes.
The cause of waste is a disparity between effective demand and absolute supply. If everything which was produced was brought to market, prices would be so low as to destroy profits. Marx makes the same point in the Manifesto:
<In these crises, there breaks out an epidemic that, in all earlier epochs, would have seemed an absurdity — the epidemic of over-production. Society suddenly finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism; it appears as if a famine, a universal war of devastation, had cut off the supply of every means of subsistence; industry and commerce seem to be destroyed; and why? Because there is too much civilisation, too much means of subsistence, too much industry, too much commerce. The productive forces at the disposal of society no longer tend to further the development of the conditions of bourgeois property; on the contrary, they have become too powerful for these conditions, by which they are fettered, and so soon as they overcome these fetters, they bring disorder into the whole of bourgeois society, endanger the existence of bourgeois property.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm
It is the same absurdity that there should be more poverty today than in the past, despite more being created. Boisguilbert (1695) writes that cheap food is disastrous to the poor, since the cost of their labour cheapens with it. Thus, more food leads to more starvation, which is an absurdity of the capitalist age.

Navy shipyard workers approve a contract deal with Bath Iron Works, ending weeklong strike
Members of the Bath Marine Draftsmen’s Association ratified a new four-year collective bargaining agreement that goes into effect immediately, the shipyard said. That followed an hourslong union meeting at a high school. “We look forward to working together once again to deliver the Navy’s ships on time to protect our nation and our families,” Bath Iron Works, known for the slogan “Bath built is best built,” said in a statement.

RIZOSPASTIS: World Anti-Imperialist Platform Whitewashing of US imperialism
Until now, its was clear that through their analyses they sought to whitewash the principal forces of the emerging Eurasian imperialist axis (China, Russia). Now, however, the WAP’s “interpretation” of international developments goes so far as to make room even for Trump. Such views stem from a complete detachment from the struggles of the working class, from erroneous opportunist theories about the imperialist system, and from the refusal to fulfil the duty of the working class and the peoples to develop an independent strategy against the bourgeois classes and imperialist alliances. Based on their crude and unscientific analysis, according to which bourgeois forces worldwide are divided into supporters of “globalization” (see Kamala Harris) and “chauvinists” (see Donald Trump, etc.), communists are urged to side with the latter and even establish forms of tactical cooperation with them. Thus, in a recent article —a monument to shameless opportunism— the “organizer” of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform, writing under the pseudonym Stephen Cho, claims, among other things, that: “The fact that the Republican Party appeals to the founding ideals of the United States, which include a spirit of independence, cannot be ignored” and similarly that “meanwhile, chauvinists do not oppose war in principle; rather, they avoid and refrain from wars they do not desire”. The culmination, of course, is his call that: “Anti-imperialist forces including the communist forces can’t form a tactical joint front with chauvinist and conservative forces, but they can engage in tactical cooperation with them”. He further adds: “Tactical cooperation, in the sense of acting Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
