Will he be the one to break the Demopublican party's grasp on bourgeois elections and continue a new reign of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie or will he crumble as he pours his money into a failed campaign? Will he split the Right wing of capital? Was it dumb that he didn't just pour finances into the lolbert party instead?

I personally think the most important decisive factor is the image, he needs to make the party symbol a cowboy hat next to an Indian chief war bonnet. Considering how many people drool over symbolism.

Elon Musk Consulted Curtis Yarvin, Right-Wing Thinker, on Third Party

<The two men spoke about Mr. Musk’s push to create the America Party before the midterm elections. Mr. Yarvin has expressed support for a monarchy, along with provocative ideas about race


https://archive.is/20250709235411/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/us/politics/elon-musk-curtis-yarvin-third-party.html

>As Elon Musk studies up on how to start a third political party, among the people from whom he has sought advice is a somewhat surprising choice of consultant: the right-wing blogger Curtis Yarvin, who is perhaps best known for advocating monarchism.


>Mr. Yarvin is one of the most influential thinkers on the so-called tech right, where he has attracted attention for his oft-expressed distaste for traditional American democracy.


>He would not seem to be a source of the kind of expertise that Mr. Musk needs as he pursues his idea for the America Party — Mr. Yarvin is not an expert on the mechanics of creating third parties or on the strategies and intricacies of running third-party campaigns.


>Still, Mr. Musk and Mr. Yarvin spoke late last week about the task ahead, according to two people briefed on the conversation who insisted on anonymity to describe it. A representative for Mr. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mr. Yarvin declined to be interviewed.

Some of Mr. Yarvin’s friends over the years have included technology leaders like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, and Vice President JD Vance has cited his writing.

Speed Up the Breakdown

https://archive.is/20250227052212/https://www.nybooks.com/online/2025/02/15/speed-up-the-breakdown/

[…]

>Right-wing accelerationists imagine existing sovereignty shattering into what Yarvin, writing under the pen name Mencius Moldbug, calls a “patchwork” of private entities, ideally governed by what one might call technomonarchies. Existing autocratic polities like Dubai serve as rough prototypes for how nations could be dismantled into “a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents’ opinions.” These would be decentralized archipelagoes: fortified nodes in a circuitry still linked by finance, trade, and communication. Think of the year 1000 in Middle Europe but with vertical take-off and landing taxis and Starlink internet. Yarvin expressed the essence of the worldview recently when he enthused over Trump’s proposal to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip and rebuild it as a US-backed colony securitized as an asset and sold to investors—as he called it, “the first charter city backed by US legitimacy: Gaza, Inc. Stock symbol: GAZA.”


>Accelerationists do not want merely to make government more efficient, nor simply to prevent it from pursuing redistribution or propagating progressive values. “Speed up the breakdown” is the mantra. Their objective is not to tame or starve the beast but to kill it. Adherents to this extreme ideology are obviously a minority, and it’s not clear at all that Musk himself shares it, let alone Trump. But even if they don’t, DOGE’s actions are helping to unsettle the division between public and private authority. Libertarians have long seen gated communities as laboratories of private government and reminisced about the law and order of the supposedly stateless Western frontier. Musk’s move to reboot the company town by incorporating Starbase, Texas could be seen as a first step toward a world where private actors make laws and jurisdictions that fit their personal needs.

The Uneasy Oligarchy

<New barbarians are at the gate


https://thebaffler.com/latest/the-uneasy-oligarchy-merchant

>Of course, all this is presented to the public eye as a holy war on the left. As is often the case, the most debased episodes of the culture war are actually spasms of a profits war. One faction of the ruling class feels frozen out and sees an opportunity to weaponize the state against its enemies within the ruling class. On the outs are Democratic elites like Larry Summers, and the university he once presided over—Harvard. Faces of the state-finance establishment like Larry Fink and Jamie Dimon are sidelined, while a new team of opportunists is called to the field. This is not the takeover of government by oligarchs; it is an aspiring oligarchy overthrowing an old one by seizing government power.

It's truly over. Unless western culture is changed at the grass roots level AND THEN politically promoted, no communism will ever come to the west. You cannot build communism in a society where the "individual" is some weird fetish that is a fake parody of itself from renaissance thought of 600 years ago.

>While exiled in 1899, Bauman had an affair with the wife of a fellow revolutionary who became pregnant with Bauman's child. Bauman responded by openly mocking her, and circulating a vicious cartoon of her as the Virgin Mary with a baby in her womb, with a caption asking "who the baby looked like". The woman later hanged herself.
>This story had gained wide currency among Russian political exiles by the time Bauman reappeared in Switzerland in 1902, after the escape from Kiev. Some of those involved in producing Iskra, including Lenin's closest friend and collaborator, Julius Martov and Pavel Axelrod, one of the founders of Russian Marxism, wanted Bauman expelled from the organisation. In 1903, the board of Iskra adjudicated the matter, and Lenin interceded on Bauman's behalf. According to biographer Robert Service, Lenin rejected the party's right to interfere, arguing that the party's task "was to make revolution against the Romanov monarchy and to vet the morality of comrades only when and in so far as their actions affected the implementation of the task". The subsequent controversy divided the party, and has been described as "one of the many personal clashes which came to define the ethical distinctions" between the Bolshevik and Menshevik factions after 1903.

Was it really worth it to split the party over this asshole?

What a shitty fucking thread. Also top tier bait. If I was Lenin I would have staged a duel between Bauman and that woman's husband. Still, I feel like that is some stupid scummy bullshit on the part of Bauman and in any decently run society he should have been executed for assholeism.

Can someone explain to me the relationship between profit margin and determing the price of an item?

We all know that in "ideal" capitalism the price is set by considering cost of production and consumers willing to pay it. But how does it really work? That is to say: how inflated prices really are compared to their production cost? We saw that during the COVID pandemia prices rose, and afterwards stayed the same even though they should lower again. How does this work? How much profit is artificial?

>yes nothing ever changes
things change; but the more things change, the more they stay the same. time is the moving image of eternity: λόγος
<"Now it was the [God's] nature to be eternal, but it isn’t possible to bestow eternity fully upon anything that is begotten. And so he began to think of making a moving image of eternity: at the same time as he brought order to the universe, he would make an eternal image, moving according to number, of eternity remaining in unity. This number, of course, is what we now call “time.” [plato - timaeus, 37d]

>We all know that in "ideal" capitalism the price is set by considering cost of production and consumers willing to pay it. But how does it really work? That is to say: how inflated prices really are compared to their production cost?
adam smith proposes that market prices (determined by supply and demand) equilibrate toward their costs of production (natural price), over a certain period. this is also marx's view, which is a presupposition granted to him by special reference to the ricardian thomas tooke's work "history of prices" in which he attempts to combat the view that prices are determined by the money supply, and looks at the elements of production instead, in order to ground a labour theory of value. if we take this classical understanding then, a commodity's production cost is its "real price" to which everything gravitates. the point on inflation is what keynes wrote; that it exists as a tax, but a tax on whom? keynes generalises the phenomena, but from the market we see all prices rise except the wage. inflation then is not the raising of value, but the diminishing of the value of the wage. if wages were adjusted for inflation for example, prices would level out to a more acceptable level. "artificial" profits then do not occur from over-pricing commodities (which is rent, not profit), but decreasing the value of the wage, or exploiting labour.

Can someone explain what Anwar Shaikh and real economics is about?

>>2384794
as adam smith says,
<"Labour alone, therefore, never varying in its own value, is alone the ultimate and real standard by which the value of all commodities can at all times and places be estimated and compared. It is their real price; money is their nominal price only." [wealth of nations, chapter 5]
anwar shaikh maintains this distinction, between "real" and "nominal" value. he makes this argument, which relates to my earlier comment upon inflation lowering the real wage of workers:
<"Finally, if buying prices remained unchanged at pcn= 0.7, pir= 5.25 while sell-ing prices were doubled to pcn= 1.4, pir= 10.50, nominal profits would be boosted because sales would be doubled while costs remained unchanged. If workers are unable to maintain their real wage because they are unable to raise their money wages to match the new higher prices, then the fall in their real wage would expand the surplus product in the next round. This can be important in practice when inflation serves to reduce the real wage […] That is to say, real profits adjusted for inflation would be unchanged [.] The foregoing exercises lead to a simple rule for measuring economic profits. First, derive nominal economic profits by applying the same current-period prices to material and labor inputs as to outputs. Second, derive real economic profits by deflating nominal profits by the general price index, whose level will itself depend on the period chosen to be the base […] As noted, these are adjustments designed to distinguish real economic profit from nominal profit." [anwar shaikh - capitalism: competition, conflict, crises - chapter 6, part 3, section 2-3]
put most simply, the real economy measures the purchasing power of wages. wages can "rise" in price, but have less value; this then shows the difference. anwar also appears to be part of "the new school", which michael hudson is part of.

Бамп наследниками товарища Ильина

Некая блогерша Мария Шалаева похвасталась, что слетала в закрытый аэропорт Ростова на военном самолёте вместе с сыном и «человеком из Кремля». Позже она удалила видео, но в Сети остались его отрывки, в том числе с… кадрами секретных полётных карт.

По её словам, самолёты туда летают, но «не все и не для всех». Кто именно был её спутником, она не сказала, только отметила, что это не военный и не ФСБшник, назвав его «Мистером Икс».

После резонанса в соцсетях генерал-майор авиации Владимир Попов сообщил, что будет проведена проверка. Он подчеркнул, что Минобороны РФ не оставит ситуацию без реакции.

Разбираться будут не только с блогершей, но и с экипажем, который пустил гражданских на борт. По имеющимся у СМИ данным, к «Мистеру Икс» уже пришли на работу.
