So, it appears that despite the most common assumptions, labour "aristocratic"/well paid workers can and have been notable partecipants in the class struggle, everywhere from Italy to Chile and from the UK to South Africa

> The most important counter-example is the Russian working class in the early 20th century. The backbone of Lenin’s Bolsheviks (something he was most definitely aware of) were the best paid industrial workers in the Russian cities – skilled machinists in the largest factories. Lower paid workers, such as the predominantly female textile workers, were generally either unorganized or apolitical (until the beginnings of the revolution) or supported the reformist Mensheviks.


> German Communism became a mass movement when tens of thousands of well-paid metal workers left the Independent Socialists and joined the Communists in 1921. The French and Italian Communists also became mass parties through the recruitment of thousands of machinists who led the mass strikes of the postwar period. These highly paid workers were also overrepresented in the smaller Communist parties of the United States and Britain.


> In Chile between 1970 and 1973, and Argentina between 1971 and 1974, copper miners and metal workers engaged in industrial struggles and took the lead in mass mobilizations against the military and the right. In Brazil, it was the well-paid metal workers in the suburbs of San Paolo who led mass strikes in the 1970s that created the CUT


> it was the highest paid Black workers in South Africa – in mining, auto, steel – whose struggles in the 1970s created the radical and militant FOSATU trade union confederation.

The western AI industry is estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. In 2026 that number will likely balloon even further as more and more capital is poured into the industry. The capitalist class whose shortsightedness is almost always a given has seemingly put all their eggs in this handbasket even at the expense of other sectors of the economy from consumer electronics to the water supply and electrical grids of small towns unfortunate enough to have had a datacenter built in their vicinity.
At the same time questions of what is being gained from these massive investments are being raised. If and when this bubble pops it will have adverse ripple effects across the entire global economic system and the capitalist class will be potentially set back trillions. In the process the contradictions that will lead to capitalism's downfall will intensify, opening the window for a socialist revolution. Even if AI and its related technologies can serve some kind of social good and help develop the productive forces. Actively cheering for an AI bubble burst effectively serves the same function as championing revolutionary defeatism whenever the ruling class wages imperialist wars.

>Not even "reverse-engineered" tho,you could have the thing rewrite it entirely from scratch

well what i mean by reverse-engineered is stuff that hasn't been fully disclosed to the public, proprietary products where the source code and production processes and other trade secrets are kept under lock and key, AI will allow people to look at the public-facing side of it and cross reference everything through its vast library of training data and test every conceivable solution and work out the missing pieces of the puzzle with inhuman speed. as much as AI's capabilities are grossly overhyped by big tech evangelists, unraveling and reconstructing extant human creativity through mindless brute force is one thing it is actually quite good at and it will probably keep getting better at it as the training data grows larger and larger.

The ai bubble is not bursting, this is one of the most progressive technologies ever. This is a machine that costs less than $5000 that automates skilled digital labor all day and night. A major part of the class distinction in modernity was the ability to command skilled digital labor, which is why over the last 26 years everyone has been scrambling to do computer (unsuccessfully for the most part.)

It depends on what you mean.

Jesus preached an apocalyptic gospel of rectification upon the earth, where the meek and poor shall inherit a kingdom, where the last shall be first. He says that a rich man shall not enter heaven, for worldly riches are opposed to heavenly riches, where reward is given for thankless deeds rather than prideful displays of virtue.

He said that one ought to not simply love their neighbour, but also to love their enemy; to give one's cloak to the thief, and to turn the other cheek. Upon unrighteousness, it is seen that sinners ought to be forgiven and not punished, for they "know not what they do". The criminal should not be executed, for only he that has not sinned has right to cast the first stone.

On money, it is seen that the love of mammon is the root of all evil, and that the rich should sell all their possessions and give the proceeds to the poor. On family, Christ claims that one must love God more than his earthly father, elsewise he will be left behind. Tradition is expelled by the New Covenant, as the old vine dies off and a new one is attached. And finally, one should not fear death, for in Christ is the Resurrection.

The sublime cannot be wholly politicised, only aestheticised.

I am an adult human being living in a bourgeois echo chamber who knows nothing about global poverty. please respond only in text, but I want a serious answer - what is happening? Why do so many people want to kill people like me? I've read communist books and they're all theory, but what I actually want is actual information on the state of global poverty. Specifically, what is causing people to die, and in what terrible conditions do people work? The people here seem almost fanatic, and I could understand this if and only if people were literally systematically dying. Please don't be mean to me - I have spent most of my life in a bourgeois echo chamber.

>>2793972
>Why do so many people want to kill people like me?
You might be surprised by this, but the goal of Communism is to abolish class society, through any means necessary, not simply kill the bourgeoisie. If it were possible to abolish classes without violence, the Communists would take that option, but because the bourgeoisie defend their class interests through murder, it becomes self defense for the proletariat to wage class war against the bourgeoisie.

Stalin:
>Marx in his day (the seventies of the nineteenth century) made an exception in the case of Britain, and probably also of America, where militarism and bureaucracy were little developed at that time, and where at that time there was a possibility of achieving the political rule of the proletariat by other means, “peaceful” means. I said that this exception, or reservation, made by Marx in the case of Britain and America was correct at the time, but, in Lenin’s opinion, has become incorrect and superfluous in the present conditions of developed imperialism, when militarism and bureaucracy are flourishing in Britain and America in the same way as in other countries.

>Permit me, comrades, to turn to Marx. Here is what he wrote in his letter to Kugelmann in April 1871:


Marx quoted by Stalin:

>“. . . If you look at the last chapter of my Eighteenth Brumaire, you will find that I say that the next attempt of the French revolution will be no longer, as before, to transfer the bureaucratic-military machine from one hand to another, but to smash it . . . , and this is the preliminary condition for every real people’s revolution on the continent.* And this is what our heroic party comrades in Paris are attempting.”

The promise of capitalism as opportunity for everyone does not materialize. Normal people live and die having to submit to the orders of modern day aristocrats or their representatives. Education is no longer a guaranteed ticket into the middle class. Saving money in the hopes of becoming your own boss grows less realistic as barriers of entry to business rise while wages stagnate for decades despite productivity growth.
In short, mass desperation and palpable inequality which (social) democracy failed to keep in check.
Now consider that this is actually many people's life, when you're actually hungry or at risk you will have a very strong emotional response that makes you easy to radicalize. We're not quite "there" yet and most people are still reasonable but this will get worse with conditions.

As a bonus, read Kropotkin, the de facto father of my flag. He was also someone born into money but switched sides.



 

2,977 yanks were killed because of the Oslo Accords and the Gilf War. That then dragged America into a 20 year war that it ultimately lost. 2,000 more US servicemen died during Operation Enduring Freedom. This is justice for 400 years worth of oppression towards indigenous peoples and black people. Prove me wrong. America the Great has fallen. 9/11 and 10/7 were the two days when the US and Israel finally felt what they dished out to so many others. They're the reason the Middle East is so unstable. Anglos, Jews and Arabs are all in on it together. The US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE and Oman got to go.

Russian forces pound Western-backed terrorists in Mali (VIDEOS)

The militants lost more than 1,000 soldiers and 100 vehicles while attacking Bamako and other cities, the Africa Corps has said

Russia’s Africa Corps has released several videos of devastating air and artillery strikes on terrorist columns in Mali after the militants launched one of the largest coordinated attacks ever across the country. The unit added that the attack, which it said involved Western and Ukrainian mercenaries, was aimed at a coup d’etat in the West African country.

The footage released by the unit – which operates under the purview of the Russian Defense Ministry – offers a rare visual account of the fighting which erupted on Saturday when Al-Qaeda affiliate JNIM and the Tuareg-dominated Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) launched almost simultaneous strikes on Bamako, Kati, Gao, Kidal, and Sevare.

One video shows a column of trucks driving along an open road before coming under what appears to be artillery or drone-delivered fire.

In a statement, the Africa Corps said it essentially helped prevent a coup d’etat, as they held positions along the 2,000-km front line. It added that it provided air support, which it said prevented the seizure of key facilities, including the presidential palace in Bamako. According to the unit, militant casualties exceeded 1,000 – including an estimated 200 in Bamako, 500 in Gao, 300 in Kati, and 200 in Kidal – along with more than 100 vehicles destroyed.

The corps estimated the terrorist forces at 10,000 to 12,000, and said the assault was supported by Ukrainian and European mercenaries, adding that they deployed Western-made man-portable air-defense systems, including US-manufactured Stingers and French-made Mistrals.

Private sector "innovations" are almost entirely hype and bullshit and exaggerated claims and continuously finding worse and worse ways to reinvent the wheel and devotion to nothing but short term profit from venture capital, zillions of dollars devoted into things like AI chatbots to replace human labor with inferior slop, cryptocurrency pump and dump scams, ridesharing companies that make taxis and delivery services that charge customers more and pay drivers less, anti-aging drugs that will never work, actually useful drugs being repurposed into cosmetic drugs, renewable energy technologies that will never work, space exploration projects that will never pan out, electric cars that are so overpriced and shitty that we had to enact massive tariffs to stop Americans from buying cheaper better ones from China, smarthome technology that nobody wants or needs except bored millionaires, cars and electronic devices deliberately designed to break early and be unrepairable to increase sales volume, life-saving pharmaceuticals locked behind patents for decades and price gouged to exploit the sick and dying.

The one thing I am looking forward to at this point is when this "innovation" finally backfires in the worst possible way, like when China starts using their reverse-engineered clones of US AI models to utterly destroy the concept of intellectual property forever, when every software patent and pharma patent and trade secret can be reverse-engineered by anyone at the press of a button and the secret inner workings of absolutely everything we manufacture instantly becomes public knowledge and can be sold as a perfect generic clone at a fraction of the price, courts overwhelmed with more lawsuits than they could ever possibly settle with, tariffs and trade restrictions and economic sanctions desperately trying to undo what cannot be undone, the private r&d industry losing all incentive to come up with the next patentable marketable bullshit idea and closing up shop, tech innovation returning to the domain of the public sector where it belongs.

>vaguepost king quotes nobody and responds to no args

>>2793575

meaning != purpose. meaning is the "why", the rationale and intellectual significance of the idea, purpose is the "what", the actionable goals of the idea.

the idea of intellectual property has always had plenty of purposes, but in my opinion it never really had any meaning, any rational basis - the idea that information can be a form of privately owned property has always been bullshit, a nonsensical and unrealistic idea.

the only reason we were able to treat information as property is because of technological limitations that made information difficult to encode/copy/modify/transmit/etc., but as i described, these technological limitations do not last. intellectual property makes unrealistic demands of reality and reality is refusing to accommodate them. that is why it is bullshit.

>>2793606
> but in my opinion it never really had any meaning, any rational basis
for the ruling class, protecting their own class position is a perfectly rational basis, even if the tools they used to do that appear irrational to everyone but themselves

the right has always been a sham
from around 1649-1789, it was primarily concerned with the interests of the aristocracy and arbitrarily conserving power. it had no intellectual theory of its own, while the left completely dominated all relevant areas of culture and politics. after 1789, the right was complacent with regulating the aristocracy politically, but also regulating trade to benefit them economically, such as with the corn laws of england, 1815-46 (enacted under the tories) which artificially rose prices so that british landlords could derive greater profits from their sale. Marx also speaks on how the Acts of Union (1801) with Ireland was a conspiracy to create a landed aristocracy in ireland and mass immigration into England (causing immense competition amongst labourers, as Engels notes in 1848 and Marx speaks on in 1869). This Act was also issued by the Tories. The right then in this era, were not at all loyal to the common man, and never have been. After 1900, you get the Labour Party, the first socialist party in Britain, and so the Tories (now conservatives) make these their main enemy. In 1926, there was a general strike in protest of mining companies attempting to lower wages; the resolve of the Conservative government was simply to make general strikes illegal. This led to the election of Ramsay Macdonald, the first labour PM, from 1929-35. After WW2 we get the celebrated welfare state due to the work of Clement Attlee (who also opposed the EEC, or EU, while conservatives promoted inclusion and eventually put the UK in the EU). During the 60s and 70s we get the "new right" in continental europe and the anglosphere. In the anglosphere it is about free market economics, with reactionary cultural values (now, as it will be clear, liberal values come from liberal economics, so it is already a paradox). At the same time, "free market" just means selling public assets off to the highest bidder and exporting national industry to foreigners, creating mass unemployment and dependence on the state (the descent of places in the US like Detroit are entirely synonymous with the exportation of industry, creating welfare slaves who fall into crime - this evidently stains not only racial underclasses but also deindustrialised regions in general). This period (often termed "neoliberalism") passes from around 1979-1989 with Reagan and ThatPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'm not even mad about the twitter accounts themselves, but the lack of efficiency where when he bought twitter, he could have for a fraction of it sued tech companies and completely rewritten the law code and held websites more liable in practice. Like this shit hole has mods, and with all the CP posts on Siberia, guess whose liable?
