Socialists should be hoping that the promises all the rich guys make about AI come true. This would create massive revolutionary potential in the US and rest of the world just like that. If AI replaces even just a portion of jobs that could result in sustained structural unemployment rate of like 10-20% possibly even greater. We will see a mass concentration of capital and thus mass proletarianization of the petit bourgoeisie as consumer spending craters. Big businesses will pivot to b2b and luxury markets to retain whatever profit they can but most small businesses wont be able to survive. This will also kill job hopping culture which was a major factor in weaking unions.

I've become convinced more and more this is inevitable soon and you all should be preparing for it. Even if the bubble pops that doesn't mean the end of AI. That just means it becomes centralized to a few surviving players, most likely google, who, unlike openAI can afford to burn millions a day for a very long time and will most likely get gibs from the government to keep it going until its profitable. In fact if the bubble pops it becomes even more likely that AI will actually be profitable.

And no, UBI is not coming, especially not in the US. Even if it did it would not be nearly enough for people to afford to live in most places. Most UBI proposals dont even cover a month's rent in most places, and past UBI experiments have had mixed results.

So yeah buckle up everyone, I hope you're ready.

Maupin has written about this.

What do you think about rightoids who idolize autocracies and isolationism like Juche?
They have been pushing for a multi-polar world and I have definitely seen rightoids that idolize centralized governments, mainly Russia but also places like North Korea and Juche for being self relying and so on.

They are opposed to the big pharma backed transhumanist movement. A lot of people recognize concepts of non gender conforming people existed for millennia, Jesus even bless unichs, however the modern hormone and surgery solution to gender dysphoria might not be the best for the workers.
As far as being pro Putin, it's hard to be anti imperialist and not support him. He is one of the biggest opponents of western imperialism and has introduced a number of social services and reforms for the Russian people that haven't been seen since the USSR. He might be socially conservative but he cares for his people much more than any western leaders including liberals like Biden and Obama.

they just hate transhumanists because they're ugly and ugly people make them angry

Palestine Action hunger strikes come to an end as Elbit systems denied contract
The move was a central demand of hunger strikers Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed, Lewie Chiaramello, Teuta Hoxha, Jon Cink, Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib, who began re-feeding in line with medical guidance on Wednesday evening. It came as Elbit lost out on a £2 billion contract that would have seen the company train up to 60,000 British troops each year over a decade. Elbit has secured more than 10 public contracts since 2012, but campaigners said the latest decision marked a significant shift.

Rightward shift rips apart the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance
In Brandenburg, Crumbach declared that the party, for which he served in government for a year, is no longer fit for anything, not even for the opposition. He described it as a “troublemaker” that no longer wants to shape society. Wagenknecht countered with accusations of “betrayal” and “electoral fraud.” BSW state chairwoman Friederike Benda accused the renegade MPs of having “abused their roles in the BSW for months in order to blackmail the party” and said that Crumbach lacks the courage to “fight for a real political project.”

US appeals court reverses decision that freed Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention
A 2-1 panel of the Philadelphia-based third US circuit court of appeals ordered the dismissal of a lawsuit Khalil filed challenging his detention after finding that federal immigration law stripped the lower court of jurisdiction over his claims. Khalil’s legal battle has been unfolding in two different courts. While an immigration court was considering his potential removal from the US, his lawyers simultaneously challenged the legality of his detention in federal court, arguing that it violated his constitutional rights. Thursday’s decision finds that the district court judge who ordered his release lacked the proper authority to consider Khalil’s release petition, concluding that the judge did not have subject-matter jurisdiction over the case.

2nd federal officer shooting in Minneapolis prompts protests, calls for calm
The Department of Homeland Security said a federal law enforcement officer shot a person in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, saying the latter fled a traffic stop and then – along with two other people – began attacking the officer. "Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life," DHS said in a statement on social media. "The initial subject was hit in the leg."

Pregnancy prosecutions are on the rise
At least 412 pregnant women were charged with child abuse, neglect or other crimes related to pregnancy or pregnancy loss in the two years after the Supreme Court overturned the national right to abortion, the advocacy group Pregnancy Justice found. That's compared with an average of about 85 cases annually in the 16 years leading up to the June 2022 decision, though cases ranged from 29 to 158 per year over that period.

Prisons, probation, and crime: Britain’s state machinery at breaking point
When he became Prime Minister in 2019, Boris Johnson promised more police, more prison spaces, longer sentencing, and better prison security. Similar promises were made by Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss before they took the helm. Not wishing to be outflanked by his friends on the other side of the house, Starmer put ‘law and order’ at the heart of his election campaign, praising the methods of Thatcher. He – laughably – promised to restore public confidence in the police. However, at the same time as making these big (and expensive!) promises, these same parties have continuously made cuts to the services they would need to do this. They can promise all they want, but the state’s institutions are too overburdened and underfunded – its staff too overstretched and demoralised – to carry out any of these law and order pledges.

No War but Class War: Revolutionary Defeatism in the Russo-Ukrainian Conflict
The war between Russia and Ukraine is often presented as a clear-cut narrative of imperial aggression versus national defence. In mainstream discourse, Russia is portrayed as the sole aggressor, with Ukraine as a victim bravely defending its sovereignty. However, this oversimplified framing serves the interests of Western imperialism, NATO expansionism, and global capitalist powers, while conveniently ignoring the complexities of the conflict—particularly the long-standing tensions in the Donbas region. From an anarcho-communist perspective, the story is not about good versus evil states but about imperialism, nationalism, and the manipulation of working-class people by ruling elites. A more nuanced analysis recognises that the seeds of this war were planted long before the 2022 invasion, especially in the political and military developments following the 2014 Maidan uprising and the subsequent conflict in Donbas. Acknowledging that Ukraine played a role in escalating this conflict—particularly through its actions in Donbas—does not justify Russian imperialism. Instead, anarchists must reject both Russian and Ukrainian state violence, embracing revolutionary defeatism. In this warPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Flashback:

It had been less than 24 hours. A healthcare CEO, one of the top ghouls for capitalism, had just gotten blasted on primetime in NYC. All the surveillance in the world couldn’t prevent homeboy from getting slimed out in Manhattan. No one knew the name of the assassin, but we all knew he was a hero.

Less than 24 hours had passed and HOUDINI? We already had a DJ mix ready to go. Already sampled the news clip. Put that CEO on a motherfucking tee shirt. Deny. Defend. Depose.—the words carved into the bullet shells became the title for the mix. You can listen to that mix here.

Why drill music? Because we dropping bodies, that’s why. Because for too long, it’s been the poor killing the poor over the scraps the rich leave us, and for once, it was the working class getting one on the rich. Instead of fighting each other, we killed one of them. And that’s big facts. And that’s the moral of the story.

They want us killing each other in the streets. They want us fighting each other for a sliver of dignity. They do not want us taking the fight to the master, the exploiter, the capitalist.

The streets spoke, and a healthcare CEO got his. Simple as.

Here's some key Erik Houdini quotes from the coverage to sit with.

"People aren't just ambivalent—they're celebrating. They see this for what it is: someone striking back. And that terrifies the system. Do you really think they want the poor—people who've been killing each other for scraps in the streets—to start looking at this and thinking, damn, that motherfucker got a lot of clout? Everybody loves this guy. The last thing they want is for this to inspire others."

When I was a kid I remember reading about rural agriculturalists in Mexico who after the signing of NAFTA found themselves priced out, for the production of corn I think, and forced into migration or poverty. I also recall hearing that the TPP (and apparently NAFTA), operated largely to enforce "corporate rights" as persons, or even more, in the imperial periphery, beyond the lowering of tariffs. In these details there can be nothing but opposition.

However, you hear of the increased growth of tomatoes, for example, in Mexico, because of their comparative advantage, and of impressive manufacturing sector in things like automobiles and even increasingly electronics. These are remarkable things. In the big picture as an internationalist you have to support them here, to the extent to which you thank trade for these things.

On the other side of the deal you read just as many stories today of towns wiped off the map by deindustrialization, and that even though productivity has increased employment for these high-value added has declined without end. This is the issue with trade in at least the Anglo-sphere, and once upon a time the former Soviet Union at the minimum: deindustrialization. I know it's likely somewhat controversial to discuss these two groups together, and it might be a mistake, but the inquiry stands.

I'd like to discuss what's the problem with deindustrialization, and how does it relate to trade?

The problem is that without either an industrial proletariat, a rural poor peasantry, or both Marxists have no path to power

Just watched an interesting video that argues that debating trade issues are mostly used to divide the proletariat into supporting or opposing different sections of the bourgeoisie. This doesn't really resonate however because changing the structural composition of capital can benefit the class.

Having declared independance in 1991, Somaliland had long saught international recognition, but despite it's relatively stable governance, this never worked, sure they managed to get a few deals with other countries, Notably Taiwan and Ethiopia, it had never managed to get formal recognition.
Until Now, as Israel becomes the first country to officially recognize Somaliland.
Somaliland has an extremly strategic position as the entry of the Black Sea, Israel would probably desire an ally in the region in order to counter the Houthis, especially now that the officially Yemeni government has all but collapsed.
But Israel has also mentionned Somaliland as a place to deport the Palestinians.
This recognition is also part of a series of diplomatic victories for Somaliland, Ethiopia, Taiwan and the USA are also considering recognition.
It can be wondered if Israel has lifted the taboo over recognising Somaliland and if other countries will follow it in its recognition.
As for Somalia, it will contest it diplomatically, but it can hardly do anything, as it's embroiled in a civil war.
But not all is rosy for Somaliland, as it doesn't control all the territory it claims, as the de facto independant state of Puntland managed to take over border territories in Khamuto State. Tensions in the region are also rising between Eritrea and Ethiopia as the latter threatens to invade the former in order to regain the sea access it had lost in 1991. While Ethiopia is Somaliland's most important ally, Somaliland might want to also want to distance themselves from an ally that aggressively desires sea access.

Somaliland official runs away from an interview with Al Jazzeera

Translation of the interview

Ahmed Taha, a presenter on Al Jazeera, conducted an interview with Hirsi Ali , president of the ruling Waddani Party in the so called Somaliland . During the interview , Ahmed Taha posed the question that many observers are currently raising :
The question everyone is asking now is:
Why did you take this controversial and infuriating step, not only to the Arab and Islamic regimes but also to the Arab and Islamic peoples, regarding normalization with Israel and receiving the Israeli Foreign Minister at a time when the Israelis are killing Palestinians day and night in the Gaza Strip and in Lebanon?
Why did you take this step?
I ask you, what prompted you to take this step of normalization with Israel? ) .


Hirsi Ali , president of the ruling Waddani Party in the so called Somaliland , responded :
First , I want to say that the word "separatists" . We are not separatists; we have been an independent state for 34 years.
The issue of normalizing relations with Israel is not limited to Somaliland; many Arab and Islamic countries have extensive political and economic ties with Israel, such as Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, the UAE, Morocco, and others. We in Somaliland have no choice but to welcome any country that recognizes our right to exist. We are not in a position of choice, but rather in a position of necessity for official international recognition. We also emphasize that our relations with Israel are diplomatic and based on mutual exchange .

Many men on the left and centre, in critiquing patriarchal norms, have gone further and made a point of rejecting aesthetic standards traditionally associated with masculinity. Over the past two to three decades, this rejection has cohered into a recognizable counter-aesthetic.

This set of aesthetic includes: talking in a nasally and whiny way, upward inflection, limbs flopping around, slouched stance, indesicive movements, intentional shabbiness in dress or over-attention to dress, over-qualification (or redditifcation) of speech (“I might be wrong but…”), distancing or discomfort with tools, mechinary, firearms, navigation, etc. A meme-word captures this aesthetic aptly, “soy.”

Time to change course. It’s one thing to know to not harm women, it’s another to not have a firm handshake.

this is my flag, not any state symbols of the canadian government and ruling class and settler colonialism. No, I am not patriotic or nationalistic. Do I love the landscape?, the beer?, the people?, yes, there are saving graces that I'm proud of, but to be a patriot as of now? no!, full stop!. that involves 9 times out of 10 wishing to maintain the status quo, and I do not wish to attract people like that to our movement. I also don't try to separate and ignore dark aspects of our history, I own up to them. so you PatSoc revisionist bastards can kiss my ass, because my flag is the flag of the party!. give me a socialist post-colonial Canada, and then I will be a patriot!
