Cuba is now further restricting basic transportation, which was already disastrously under serviced, closing universities, and even cancelling this year’s traditional book fair. Country is now basically running on minimal expenditure of energy possible

Current situation is apparently worse than the "special period" and no country is coming to help.

That would be a bad idea for Cuba, as unlike China the West can much more easily foment a regime change through economic leverage. Cuba is too small and close to the US.

This. They could have easily raped all those American helicopters flying in but were told to stand down. They were flying so fucking close to residential areas that a single civilian with an RPG could have shot them down.

>>2689364
what's the last country where this happenned ? every coup nowaday is about co-opting protests and letting the opposing governement give up without a fight (no seriously,I don't mean you should shoot the protestors but wtf Nepal)

I have no idea how it operates, apparently it claims to be a socialist state but I have no idea if it is or not and it is barley ever discussed in leftist spaces.

I also have a stupid, naive question, isn't saltwater bad for the earth cus the salt?

>>2682835
No it's not possible to measurably drain the ocean, also the ocean is rising anyways.

>>2682942
The land is already unusable because it is too dry and sandy. Also they are specifically growing plants that can grow in sea water. They explain it all in the video and you can see it in operation: >>2682835


>Along the Sonoran coast of Mexico, Carl Hodges must be looked upon as a modern-day alchemist. Who else could turn a barren desert into fertile farmland?


>But Hodges did just that. Since founding the Seawater Foundation in 1977, the 70-year-old atmospheric scientist has become one of the world's leading thinkers when it comes to solving some of the world's complex ecological problems, and has met with everyone from Fidel Castro to Al Gore.


>Hodges's desert transformations begin with the digging of a single canal inland from the ocean. Pumps lift the seawater several meters in elevation; gravity does the rest, moving the water inland to a secondary series of canals and lakes that become home to a flourishing aquaculture of fish, shrimp, and mollusks. The seawater, now nutrient-rich with biological waste from the assorted marine life, serves as an excellent fertilizer, irrigating nearby fields of salt-tolerant plants. On its final journey, to Earth's aquifers, it replenishes depleted wetlands, whose rejuvenated mangrove trees attract fish, birds, and other wildlife.


>Salt accumulation, which has ruined farmers in the Aral Sea basin and California's Imperial Valley, isn't a problem. The plain and underground water table are already salty, and the constant flushing of irrigation, Hodges says, ensures that the fields won't exceed the salinity of the water. Nutrients from the effluent, meanwhile, do build up, improving soil fertility over time.

Thanks.any updates from the last few years.

gotta admit, these eritreans seem pretty based

There’s no reason to take away Ethiopia’s coastline, it was an anti Ethiopia CIA psyop and any and all separatist movements in Africa are objectively reactionary and against pan Africanism

Which socialist countries could a NEET move to join the working class?

<As of 2023, approximately 21.7% of young people worldwide, aged 15 to 35, are classified as NEET, meaning they are not in education, employment, or training. This statistic highlights a significant global issue regarding youth engagement in productive activities.

Marx and Engels were against Moralism yet they were class traitors. What is the material explanation for this? Clearly empathy for the proletariat and their suffering is an insufficient explanation, because that's just moralism, and they weren't moralists.

It is the other way around:
Their fault is because it has nothing to do with the integrity of society at all to begin with (which is classified as political art).
Hobbes & Rousseau nailed it. It is the lack of a civic religion like North Korea has.

Rousseau Social Contract pages 67 through 73.

>You may ask: ‘Why were there no wars of religion in the pagan world, where each state had its own form of worship and its own gods?’

>My reply is that just because each state had its own form of worship as well as its own government, no state distinguished its gods from its laws. Political war was also theological war; the gods had, so to speak, provinces that were fixed by the boundaries of nations. The god of one people had no right over other peoples. The gods of the pagans were not jealous gods


>This was the situation when Jesus came to set up on earth a spiritual kingdom, which, by separating the theological from the political system, destroyed the unity of the state, and caused the internal divisions that never ceased to trouble Christian peoples. This new idea of a kingdom of 'the other world' could never have occurred to pagans, so they always regarded the Christians as really rebels.


>However, as there was always a prince and civil laws as well as a church, this double power created a conflict of jurisdiction that made it impossible for Christian states to be governed well; and men never managed to discover whether they were obliged to obey the master or the priest.

Another moron who uses the word 'moralism' without understanding what it means

You see not even Plato never really abandoned society entirely for contemplation's sake–it was no coincidence that the city was a mirror to the soul:
Glaucon:
>"But is not this unjust? Ought we to give them a worse life, when they might have a better?"

Socrates:
>"You have again forgotten, my friend, the intention of the legislator, who did not aim at making any one class in the State happy above the rest; the happiness was to be in the whole State, and he held the citizens together by persuasion and necessity, making them benefactors of the State, and therefore benefactors of one another; to this end he created them, not to please themselves, but to be his instruments in binding up the State.

But mad metaphysicans have fallen so in love with contemplation to abandon the commonweal–it has become metaphysics for metaphysic's sake.
A good example of this is Charles III who is so in love with spirituality & Islam that he forgets he is the King of Britain.
North Korea has achieved a sort of civic religion.



 

CHANNERS KNOW EVERYTHING!

This is a weird history. But I need to tell you:

CONNECT THE POINTS!

Donald Trump approved “Project Genesis”.

Project Genesis = “Fiat Lux” (see in the Bible). “God created the world” = Project Genesis = recreate the world as God did. A magnificent AI project… Or something more?

How is it connected with Esochannealogy? Homo est spectaculum hominis:
“How do esochanners search the secret board on old 55chan? At 00:00, they write ‘Fiat Lux’”

Today, the phrase “Fiat Lux” is no longer a biblical myth or a secret board password; it is the activation command for Project Genesis. Approved by Donald Trump, this project represents the ultimate goal of the NRx (Neoreactionary) elite: to recreate the world as a programmable simulation.

They knew what made boomers tick. They wanted to not only be part of a community solving puzzles, but Q Anon invoked feelings like they were participating in some Tom Clancy thriller, the 'intelligence community' as well as nostalgia, as Donald Trump was this lone hero fighting the wicked deep state like those 1980s action films, or regan's speeches.

>>2689441
Is QAnon a psychological study for the dataset? This thing makes sense:
1- Big data doesn't stop these guys;
2- Social networks don't stop these guys;
3- Who gains with it? CIA, Palantir, and BIG DATA;
4- For what? See Donald Trump approving Palantir to create a Dataset with all characteristics of American citizens.

CIA = Created by Amerikkkans

>>2689448
Created by the CIA for psychological studies. (And CIA is American)

They did play a shortened version of the clip during the interview but not around that quote.
On the other hand, the Sydney reporter waited for that clip to appear when describing the event, pointing out the victim had their hands up, saying something like "that clip, right there!"

everyone's blaming albo for inviting herzog, but herzog basically invited himself through israeli cutouts like the ZFA and ECAJ. the formal invite was just to extend diplomatic immunity. it sucks, but the motive is obviously appeasing the US. we're kind of past the point where it's healthy to pretend we're an independant nation. last week the epstein leaks revealed the UK and US were colluding to ouster rudd.

albo's been doing a "small target" strategy domestically and internationally. it's a good strategy considering the iron grip capital has on media, and american foreign policy under trump resembling a prison rape. there's 30 million people he's responsible for, it's mostly uncontroversial to suck up to seppoland. OTOH the problems are multiplex:

> going limp only works if the violence ends

> appeasement and economic policy are completely at odds with each other
> you stop being a small target when you're inviting war criminals on speaking tours
> the harsh political realities that force these shit decisions are never spoken of to maintain the charade

I find myself reflexively defending the spineless bastard because at the very least he's australian. we'd only be more fucked if he he was an american cipher. labor needs kevin rudd thought to make a comeback. we need way more economic complexity and sovereignty to even be a neutral country.

why is there no hype around the winter olympics? Usually it's all one can see/hear when they're on, but this time it's all about ICE agents in Italy, protests against them, stuff like that. There aren't any of the usual "white evropean athletes dominate the asian and slavic mongoloids!" stories either. What did the olympic committee do that displeased the westoid liberals and the media?

I'm reading that Russia got banned which is a shame because they can be competitive. It's the Winter Olympics so Norway is just destroying everybody as usual. Not really a junglegang kind of competition.

>>2688567
Russia isn't allowed. They're still banned. Russians can only compete under the a neutral flag or something.

>>2688574
>Russia isn't allowed. They're still banned. Russians can only compete under the a neutral flag or something.
They have to compete under this flag and anthem as "Independent Neutral Athletes".

>>2689353
humiliation ritual

No one gives a fuck about sports competitions any more, because the nationalism that attracted non-sports people to support their athletes is being eroded by globalism.

But then rightoids who are fighting tooth and nail to retain bourgeois nationalism, shoot themselves in the foot by making seething about the ethnicity, origin or gender identity of an athlete an Olympic sport and probably the one most reported on.

Hong Kong is one of the world's most densely populated areas, with an overall density of approximately 7,177 people per square kilometer as of 2023. The population is heavily concentrated, with districts like Kwun Tong exceeding 57,000 people per square kilometer…
With such crowd density, an incident like the Seoul Halloween crowd crush is inevitable to happen.

All the complaining of westerners about "Kowloon walled city" while the rest of HK wasn't any better, if anything at least in the Kowloon walled city people could manage at least their own space.

In fact it already happened - the 1993 Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong, tragedy saw 21 people killed and 63 injured on New Year's Eve, when 20,000 celebrators crowded narrow, sloping streets, causing a fatal crush due to alcohol-slicked, slippery roads.

It's because Hong Kong is capitalist and due to the terms of the handover agreement made with Britain (One Country Two Systems) has preserved its economic system along with the oligarchy from the colonial times.

Once China completes the takeover in 2047 or whenever they should expropriate all the retarded landlords and fix up the place because it's just a torture chamber generating a constant stream of libtards at the moment.

Electronic porky says - move in the moshpit

HK needs to be liberated by Xi

I played sleeping dogs, good game although main character is a literal cop, even there Hong Kong looked like a shithole.

USA - Imperialist Hell
Amerikkka is the world's most densely imperialist area, with an overall density of approximately 7,177 imperialisms per treat as of 2026. The population is heavily faggotised, with districts like New York exceeding 57,000 faggots per square kilometer…
With such faggot density, an incident like the Nuremburg Rally is inevitable to happen.

All the complaining of westerners about "MAGA fascists" while the rest of USA wasn't any better.

In fact it already happened - everyday outside the USA, tragedy saw 217292628 people killed and 63728262 injured during treat production, when 20,000 yanks crowded narrow oesophagii with treats, causing a fatal treatchoke due to cholesterol-slicked, cloggy arteries.



 

Have there been any studies done deconstructing the left-to-right ("Saul-to-Paul") political conversion narrative that the right-wing loves to throw around?

I'm talking about people like former CPUSA members who turned state like Whittaker Chambers, Bella Dodd, and Louis Budenz; neocons like Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and David Horowitz (rest in piss); or contemporary "conversion" stories like those of Abby Johnson. I'm obviously talking about Americans here but I'm sure you can name plenty of examples from other countries. What psychological factors cause someone to abandon leftism and fully embrace the right, and even worse, turn on their former comrades?

Is it simply the case that they upheld leftism as a dogma, so when their "god" died they found another god? Is it because they were always authoritarian assholes and embraced the right when the right gave them a better outlet for being authoritarian assholes? Was it because they found that the left was moving in a direction they didn't approve of, so they gradually became rightist? Or, using the narrative they themselves most often parrot, they felt "betrayed" by the left so in turn they betrayed the left?

Also, why do we rarely see any prominent right-wingers turning to the left?

Bro I don't care about trans issues and neither did Marx, this is really isn't a 'gotcha' because it has nothing to do with the left/right distinction in the organic sense, it's psy-op slop that is irrelevant to all but 1% of the population.

>>2686299
So trans comrades don’t matter?

Hate to say it, but I see why the political right is so appealing to disgruntled former leftists.

The left (at least, in the US) has no real political goals. It's confined to berating and cancelling each other over social media. And for what purpose? Weeding out oppressive behaviours? How does that lead us to accomplish our goals on a political level?

The right-wing, on the other hand, knows that it's creating a new world, a worse world, but that's how they want it. They remain politically-focused while the left only acts within the social realm.

>>2649015
Many of these people develop an inner "fuck you" towards their former comrades as well as towards the public at large. Think about how jaded even armchair activists get with the public for not striking, voting for SocDems, etc., while also being THE PERSON providing the ideological ammunition and fuel to the activist base.

I mean, a lot of this has to do with the issue of Black wealth and the fact Black folks feel like they can't get out of poverty because Black money doesn't stay with Black communities. A lot of Black nationalists will attack rich and even middle-class Blacks for having children with non-Black partners (usually white, Hispanic, or Pinoy) because the money won't be passed down to Black hands but mixed hands. Intergenerational wealth is something whites often take for granted whereas it's something Blacks consider crucial to the survival of their communities.



 

Materialist analysis of celebrities engaging in activism?

Recently, we’ve seen notable celebrities like Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo speak out against Trump and ICE. Their social media profiles are full of anti-ICE sentiment. Billie has also spoken out against billionaires despite being rich herself. So what’s going on here? Is there any chance that celebrities like Billie and Olivia can hold radical leftist political views? A lot of celebrities and musicians were involved in the 60s New Left, by comparison. Are we seeing a rebirth of this?

Fuck Billie Eilish and her Rosa-killer brother.

>>2673165 Petitboug just get carried with the current usually. If the proletariat is winning they join the cause of labour against the big capitalist class, if reaction is winning they join it against the proles to preserve their property

Right wing or left wing celebrity activism is the same waiting for some millionaire to save you people is insane brain rot that shows yoir just a petit bourgeoise loser

amerikan celebrities are but purest distilation of fascism and bourgeois degeneracy that permeate entirety of genocidal settler euroamerikan formation which is wholly bourgeois

She is a martyr though.

Billie is being blacklisted by Hollywood as we speak.
