So, without any doubt, today, the greatest country on earth is China.
That is because, China managed to achieve proper Socialism, and has managed to distribute wealth among the people of its country quite adequately, not ideally, but in such a way that the country remains sufficient and does not collapse like other stupid "socialist" countries did. Not only did China manage to checkmate the Western capitalists and become a strong independent force of its own, but also it now works on establishing Socialism elsewhere and helping others.
As we all know, the USSR was retarded. It was really just an empire called a "union" of republics that, in reality, was just a rebranded Russian empire. Compared to the moder efforts of China, their global missions on helping 3rd world countries are nothing compared.
Today, the people of China are helping Africa. The Chinese are on a mission of liberating the African economies from the influence of the West. Since the West is retarded, we don't want that shit in Africa. Think it's finally time for the Africans to tell the Westerners to stop fucking with their money. Let the Africans follow the example of China. No other socialist country other than China, has ever achieved the absolute eradication of poverty like it was done under the current rule of Xi. I don't give a fuck about the angry retards that are going to pull up calling China revisionist, these are facts. If you think otherwise, you are not a Marxist.

How to go about making the Internet experience less US-centric?

My search results, news outlets, youtube and all are plagued with US politics. Idk and idc about Charlie Kirks.
But it goes deeper. Its about soft power.

English is the internets lingua franca, which is why im tempted to learn Esperanto or Mandarin.
Reddit is full of Burgers. So is stuff like BlueSky, YouTube…
All significant social media is Californian.
Pop culture – it's so UnitedStatesian.
ICANN was under US jurisdiction until 2016!
Contributing to localizing sites and other projects is also important.

Medium (language) we use to communicate matters.
I think we gotta connect with non-US communities to undermine the US hegemony.

I'd like to see more resources and ideas to make internet more international and less US-centric!

EU’s “Chat Control” will be forced to scan every message, photo, and file before it is encrypted on WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and other all other apps.
Politicians would be exempt. It is being sold as “child protection” but the EU’s own legal service warns that it violates fundamental rights. Once a backdoor into encryption exists, it is not just governments who can use it. Hackers, criminals, and hostile states can too.

Today (with real encryption): Message is locked on your phone. Not even WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram (secret chat) can read it. Only the recipient can open it.
Under Chat Control: Your message is opened and scanned on your phone before encryption. If the scanning software believes it finds “prohibited” content, even by mistake, it is sent to the authorities.
Austria opposes the plan, but 19 EU countries already support it. If Germany joins them, the law could pass in October.

According to the campaign:
Mass surveillance: Every message, file, and image sent without suspicion would be automatically scanned.
Encryption undermined: End-to-end encryption would be weakened or broken, putting all communication at risk for everyone, not just criminals.
False positives: Innocent content such as jokes or holiday photos could be misidentified and trigger investigations.
Exemptions for politicians: Officials would be excluded under “professional secrecy” while normal citizens lose their privacy.

Personally I thought they already did that. I guess things will just get worse.

<It is an eternal verity in the history of mankind that when any structure or institution, in its aspect as a repository for the dedication and aspirations of human beings, becomes disestablished by whatever means, then a residual loyalty and affection will endure upon the foundations of all that has been invested in spiritual and intellectual terms, material outlay notwithstanding.


<To Scottish Patriots, whose key focus remains fixed upon a Nation state which has, to all outward appearances, ceased to exist several hundred years ago, such loyalty and affection are patent assumptions of everday life. Ostensibly destroyed by internal and external enemies in 1707, Scotland is lent a continuing and substantive existence by the nourishment of our ongoing patriotic commitment and constant political vigilance. The sovereign state which was Scotland seems to have ceased to exist, and in significant areas of human structuration it largely has. However, as a beautiful, sacred and eternal concept, Scotland has remained very much alive in the hearts and minds of its patriot devotees with the material reflection of all these poignant human desires about to yield the sweetest fruit known to mankind. We believe in Scotland's hidden powers: the present is theirs, but all the past and all the future is ours.


<Nor is this present humiliating settlement the first occasion on which our people have looked upon the outrage to their country. Between the time of Alexander III and the accession of The Liberator, Robert Bruce, there lived a generation who knew only destruction and loss, an era of unmitigated national grief, the time of the incomparable William Wallace, cornerstone and slaughtered hero whose shining example will live forever in the consciousness of our whole people.

reminder that the pensioner subsidy isn't the state pension (which is mediocre by european standards), it's that pension income and income from landlordism aren't subject to national insurance. they're paying too little tax rather than getting too much in handouts.

are you kidding me I thought he came up with this

In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly – only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!

I have dealt more at length with the "undiminished" proceeds of labor, on the one hand, and with "equal right" and "fair distribution", on the other, in order to show what a crime it is to attempt, on the one hand, to force on our Party again, as dogmas, ideas which in a certain period had some meaning but have now become obsolete verbal rubbish, while again perverting, on the other, the realistic outlook, which it cost so much effort to instill into the Party but which has now taken root in it, by means of ideological nonsense about right and other trash so common among the democrats and French socialists.

Quite apart from the analysis so far given, it was in general a mistake to make a fuss about so-called distribution and put the principal stress on it.

Any distribution whatever of the means of consumption is only a consequence of the distribution of the conditions of production themselves. The latter distribution, however, is a feature of the mode of production itself. The capitalist mode of production, for example, rests on the fact that the material conditions of production are in the hands of nonworkers in the form of property in capital and land, while the masses are only owners of the personal condition of production, of labor power. If the elements of production are so distributed, then the present-day distribution of the means of consumption results automatically. If the material conditions of production are the co-operative property of the workers themselves, then there likewise results a distribution of the means of consumption different from the present one. Vulgar socialism (and from it in turn a section of the democrats) has taken over from the bourgeois economists the consideration and treatment of distribution as independent of the mode of prodPost too long.

>his life work has literally been about how socialism should structure production around the demands of a free market for consumers
and what do we call things that are made for exchange? we call them commodities. and because we are here talking about a communist society, these are communist commodities

>>2479575
Wrong.Socialist commodities differ from other historical commodities. They possess three characteristics: (l) They are based on a public ownership system of the means of production and are primarily an expression of the exchange relations between the worker and the peasant. (2)In contrast to the unorganized and unplanned capitalist commodity production, a great majority of socialist commodities are produced in a planned manner under the guidance of state planning. (3)Compared with the capitalist society, the scope of commodities is greatly reduced in the socialist society. Labor power is no longer a commodity. Land, mineral resources, and other natural resources are no longer commodities either. The means of production circulating within the socialist state ownership system have also undergone significant changes and have lost certain properties of commodities.

To negate the commodity aspects of socialist direct social products and to attempt to abolish commodity production prematurely is obviously erroneous. Ch’en Po-ta, a renegade and Trotskyite, clamored for the abolition of commodity production and exchange during the period of the rapid development of China’s rural people’s commune movement in a vain attempt to lead revolution and construction astray. Chairman Mao saw through this conspiracy in time and engaged him in a resolute struggle. In the resolutions of the Sixth Plenum of the Eighth Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party personally convened and chaired by Chairman Mao, this was pointed out: “This way of thinking which attempts to prematurely abolish commodity production and exchange, prematurely negate the constructive role of commodities, value, money, and price is detrimental to developing socialist construction and is therefore in correct.” (4) Socialist commodity production must not only be retained, but must also be developed to consolidate the economic link between China’s industry and agriculture and between urban and rural areas in order to promote the development of socialist construction.

Under capitalism, the purpose of commodity production by the capitalist is to exploit the surplus value of the worker. Through the production and sale of commodities, the capitalist gets back the value of the means of production expended in the production process. At the same time, the new value created by thePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>2479637
What contradiction? What are you even talking about? I think you've confused me with some other anon

>>2479639
the contradiction is that you're saying "gay people should not be imprisoned by the state" is incompatible with the society of the country, and that otherwise is "idealist"

>>2479642
I never said that it was incompatible? I said I don't think Burkina Faso should have criminalized homosexuality, but was pointing out that your overly emotional response that was to "shoot an ML on sight" for "slaughtering and imprisoning proles for arbitrary reasons" and implying that somehow makes them nazis, is pure idealism and a vindictive fantasy based on assumptions.

As an aside, there is nothing "ML" about Burkina Faso, and there are many african countries which already had homosexuality criminalized, and yet completely unenforced, so although regrettable in any event, it could be possible this wouldn't even lead to any arbitrary arrests, and is just virtue signalling on behalf of a bonapartist regime.

Both in Syria and Nepal the state lost control of the entire nation. But instead of building the alternative, they select a new “democratic” government.

I blame this on modern anarchists who don’t prepare beforehand. Anarchists do not have enough popular support and momentum to get going. Why? Because of lack of discipline and not educating the masses.

The case of Syria is even more pathetic because Rojava is already there, and cooperation could be established.

Syria’s revolution was entirely engineered by a conservative-religious ex-isis fighter iirc. There was little popular element in it except for the apathy that the previous regime’s soldiers had.
Nepal was « true » popular revolt but it couldn’t be spearheaded into a coherent demands because the mob doesn’t build, it only destroys. It doesn’t help that since the last nepalese revolution that abolished the monarchy, the maoists/marxists have been at the fore front of the political sphere without managing much success barring dysfunctional land reforms.

We already have a playbook for revolution, it’s called « leninism »…

>>2465098
Bro have an epistemology and apply it, this is how you reach truth. If you have no epistemology then start there.

Ultimately you're just making your best guess at what lines up with what you see in the world, and what is more likely or less likely to be true (e.g. when comparing directly opposed claims in different books).

Also it helps to try to learn a subject deeply such that you begin to pick out the many sides. At first you just get a summary where everything is mostly harmonious. Then you dig deeper and find controversies. As you work in you'll begin to form an opinion on each side in the controversies, and choose one for yourself. This is the basic way. Don't look at any knowledge as objective and complete, and don't look at any controversy as two separate entities duking it out but instead see it as two sides within a field of study, who agree on many things but have some areas of contention.

>>2465098
Gosh, many responses here are really bad.
So:
There are 2 approaches to truth, the philosophical and practical one.
Philosophy is in crisis and might only get you confused, probably (I don't discourage reading tho!).
The practical one is facts-based. Facts help to establish the definitive knowledge about reality (practically, philosophy aside).
The problem with facts is that even if you know them all, how do you interpret them as good or bad?
I believe that there is only one adequate criteria: do people lives get better? If you follow this criteria, you could judge the facts in a positive way.
There is a catch though: what is "getting better" mean?
For example, the most obvious criteria is 1. People's material conditions might improve, but what if: 2. They do not control means of production, so they are not in charge of their destiny and as a result at a constant risk of their material gains being reversed by fascist expropriation or 3. The society is repressive with many human rights being suppressed?
I think that people lives get factually/objectively better if all 3 criteria (1. material conditions, 2. political power/true democracy and 3. human rights) are considered and a system is objectively good if it goes generally in fulfilling them. Alternative system proposals should also be evaluated based on these criteria.
Now, as a brief example, how can we evaluate USA, domestically and internationally?
Internationally, USA is very well known for destroying any countries which it does not fully control for profiteering by its corporations and maintaining hegemony - how can this make people lives better? The only half-hearted argument could be that "once we achieve global USA super-empire, there won't be anymore wars, defense spending, etc. This is definitely unachievable anyway with BRICS countries rising up, so American globalist imperial project is untenable and generally destructive for humanity. But even if we would entertain the idea of American Empire succeeding, how would it look like?
This brings us to American domestic policies, which are objectively anti-human. Practically, American oligarchical ideal is a very docile population which constantly wage-slaves - typical capitalist attitude. This is a simple conclusion from MAGA capitalist policies. USA has no ideal for human development asidPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Imageboards have of course been filled with nazis for a fuck ton of time from even the start, but most people agree it mainly started when moot added /news/ then all the chudcels flooded the rest of the site, then created /pol/ and the rest is history.

With that being said, how do we realistically combat the mass grooming of people into nazism through imageboards? The sharty is becoming the new 8chan but with way more cultural influence on the wider internet and the rest of the population is filled with young children, we have already seen solomon (a mass shooter that was a black man yet he was also a white supremacist with sharty connections) commit a mass shooting. With that being said clearly a lot of these young men are isolated and angry, doxxing random literal WHOS because they are trans, or even doing raids that help the federal government because the site is influenced by glowies. They even raided our very booru 2 days ago, and ILLEGAL CONTENT was posted (this was done by foodist nazis not soyteens but still scary that it’s that prevalent with their raids).

And with the thought on raids we can see some of these young people are being groomed into actual pedophile nazi communities but the sharty staff and wiki are so up their asses that they can’t see they have ideological similarities with the nazi foodists and that’s why they surround them.

They have crushed /leftysoy/ and banned many leftists on their wiki including me, I think this is gonna evolve into something much worst if we don’t do anything.

just teach them about the ultimate edge lord who thinks morality is a spook

How do you uyghas have the autistic capacity to analyse a lot of shit yet you can't figure out simple teenage rebellion?
It's just that - teens being edgy. A good chunk of you probably grew up in conservative and religious families and became atheist leftists at least partially out of spite. A lot of soyteens are probably kids in liberal/libleft atheist families where parents put a lot of focus on anti-racism, anti-fascism, feminism, environmentalism, progressive politics, so they go in the opposite direction just to get a knee jerk reaction.
In 5-10 years they'll mellow out into boring libnormies or swing to the other end of the political (and autistic) spectrum and become gay furry ancoms.

There's the potential for abuse, and if it causes shit, I'm sorry, but, you guys talk about the right like they are all far right extremists, if that is the case, are you willing to accept that most on the left are far left extremists?, and in a way a lot of the political world is, as being extreme on the left is almost acceptable nowadays (protests and marches with somebody on a loud speaker calling everybody they oppose a nazi and or fascist).
