Daily reminder this grain is the literal reason behind all social hierarchy in human history.

Humans lived in near-perfect egalitarianism before the onset of wheat production. It was only after wheat cultivation that social hierarchies and classes began to emerge, patriarchy being the first. Once humans realized they could dominate the land to grow wheat they began dominating animals, and from there they began dominating each other. Societies that had no wheat were far, far less hierarchical and had no patriarchy or racism/ableism. When colonizers began dominating and enslaving the colonized one of the first things they did was put them on a wheat-heavy diet as a form of colonial domination.

With this, the only way to achieve communism should be to abolish wheat production entirely. Gluten is also a neurotoxin and there’s proof it causes ADHD.

the americas didn't have wheat before european colonization and the corn-growing aztecs and incas were big imperialist hierarchical civilizations. also there was the comanche empire, they didn't have crops at all they just had horses from the europeans and used them to conquer and enslave and terrorize people all over the great plains. oh and then there's ghengis khan and the mongols, they didn't grow crops they just used horses to conquer people and they forged the largest continuous empire in history and killed like 10% of the world population.

Cereals generally. However, your simple egalitarian model isn't favored nowadays, I think. See the paper:
"Human social organization during the Late Pleistocene: Beyond the nomadic-egalitarian model."

It argues we have a mixed ancestral strategy of egalitarian bands living in resource scarce areas between so-called complex hunter-gatherers which sit on resource rich areas and exhibit many traits usually associated with early states (high population, hierarchy, slavery) and that we were managing and cultivating plants and animals way before 10k years ago.

<The nomadic-egalitarian model confronts puzzling inconsistencies. On the one hand, our ancestors are said to have spent an appreciable duration of prehistory—anywhere from the last 40,000 to several million years—living in small, egalitarian, mobile bands. Status competition was stifled, and domineering behavior invited censure, ostracism, or execution. This social environment was purportedly critical in shaping the biological foundations of our psychology: Many scholars argue that understanding the evolution of the human mind requires considering the egalitarian origins of our species, while others, especially evolutionary psychologists, posit that the cooperation humans exhibit in contemporary large-scale societies reflects adaptations for interacting in small groups of non- strangers.


<Yet, as we will show, many reliably developing human behaviors are difficult to explain if the primary or exclusive social environment shaping human psychology was the small-scale, mobile, egalitarian band. Rather, such behaviors become much easier to understand when considered as the products of an evolutionary history involving diverse social environments.

<Recent examples of sedentary foragers include the Chumash, New Guinean fisher-foragers, and the peoples of the Pacific Northwest. Such peoples tended to exhibit several common features: They tended to exploit coastal resources. They sustained very high population densities. Although not necessarily completely sedentary, they exhibited less mobility than classically “nomadic” foragers. They had much larger group sizes, with some villages exceeding 1,000 individuals. They permitted and often institutionaliz

"AI will save us" is the same religious impulse that gave you the rapture of the nerds, singularity posting, and every other technofix that lets you avoid the actual problem: who owns the thing. A language model trained by a company answerable to venture capital and running on GPUs owned by Amazon and Microsoft is not a neutral force floating above class society. It's a productive force, and like every productive force under capitalism, the question isn't "is it powerful," it's "who controls the surplus it generates and who gets thrown out of work by it." Marx wrote about this with the steam engine and the power loom in the 1860s and none of the logic has changed just because the machine is quieter now.

>words words words Yeah, that's the job. You don't build class consciousness or a cadre or a program by vibing. Every successful revolutionary movement in history (the Bolsheviks, the Chinese CP, the Vietnamese) did enormous amounts of unglamorous political education and organizational work before anything looked like a insurrection. If "they're trolling you and all you do is type" bothers you, the fix isn't to stop explaining things, it's to actually organize something in physical space so the theory has somewhere to land.

>Will the AI save us all?
it wont even save the VCs that have deposited trillions of dollars into it, but it's also forcing silicon valley into baring material relationships between workers and bougies in order to sell a compelling product to each other, to the point where people associate AI with class warfare in an instinctual level, so who knows.

>Every successful revolutionary movement in history (the Bolsheviks, the Chinese CP, the Vietnamese) did enormous amounts of unglamorous political education and organizational work before anything looked like a insurrection.

i agree with your main point but none of those were particularly effective revolutionary movements when the full historical record is taken into account and i would argue that political education and organizational work are not the primary driving force of revolutionary action, the real secret sauce is something even more unglamorous than that, which simply solitude and quiet contemplation. reading books is helpful for learning things that people already know and have already done before, but a truly effective revolutionary movement requires revolutionary ideas, ideas that no one has ever thought or said out loud or written in any book before, and the only way to achieve that is to do what all the most revolutionary thinkers in the world have done since ancient times which is to isolate yourself from society and all of its noise and distractions and be completely alone with nothing but your own thoughts for an extended period of time. long enough to where you get so fucking bored that something finally snaps in your brain and you become deeply attuned to everything as your brain responds to the starvation of stimuli by becoming more sensitive and noticing and thinking about things that it would normally take for granted and not being constantly cajoled by outside influence, and in that state of mind you can come up with some truly unique and novel ideas. of course, if you're a working class adult it's a lot harder to do this in the modern era than it was in the past with so many distractions and obligations in our high-tech industrial society that is designed in just such a way that dropping out of society has disastrous consequences and often results in permanent exile, so there's not a whole lot of genuine revolutionaries in the world these days.

Japan Will Perish in Flames of Neo-Militarism: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, August 24 (KCNA) – Dignitaries again flocked to the Yasukuni Shrine on the day of Japan's defeat.

High-ranking politicians of Japan, buoyed up by the wild ambition for continental aggression, frequent there on different occasions every year. It is the fact well known to the world already that what they seek is just to secure a spiritual pillar for proactively supporting their militaristic policy.

But this time the gravity of the issue is further highlighted by the group visit assuming so unusual colours.

Prime Minister Takaichi, who had made an offering to the shrine on August 15, made a bow toward the shrine, on her way to the national mourning ceremony for the war dead. She was not far from the shrine at that time.

It is something rare to be seen that the incumbent prime minister made a bow toward the shrine on the day of defeat.

As foreign media commented it as "remote tribute" and "a quarter of a step forward to pay visiting tribute," it is not difficult to see Takaichi's militaristic ambition that has gone to extremes.

Since its emergence, the Takaichi regime has pursued such extremely dangerous military policy, never to be seen in the preceding regimes, as deployment of preemptive attack weapons indispensable for launching reinvasion, modification of the "Three Principles on Transfer of Defence Equipment and Technology" and its guidelines and attempted revision of the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles" for arming itself with nuclear weapons.

CPI(M) protests over exclusion of Kalaburagi from drought-hit list
According to CPI(M) members, Kalaburagi district has recorded a 54% rainfall deficit. The district recorded 36% less rainfall than normal in June and 84% less rainfall in July. The prolonged dry spell has caused distress among farmers and led to sowing on less than 30% of the targeted area, the party said. The activists questioned the government’s decision not to declare any taluk in the district drought-hit despite these indicators.

Judge deals blow to Trump moves to deport pro-Palestinian activists
U.S. District Judge Noel Wise in San Jose, California in a blistering ruling, chastised the U.S. State Department and U.S. Department of Homeland Security for how they had deployed provisions of federal immigration law to target non-citizens for deportation for expressing views they wanted to suppress. The judge, an ​appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, said that in the United States, free speech, including the freedom to criticize the ​government and its leaders, was evidence of the strength of the country's democracy.

Trump’s DHS is using an obscure law to secretly snoop on journalists, non-profits and unions
In February of this year, federal prosecutors twice sought search warrants for account information for the YouTube channel of Fort and the journalist Don Lemon, both of whom have pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in connection to a protest at a Minneapolis church in January that they were covering. A judge twice rejected the request, writing that the government had failed to establish probable cause of a crime and that he wanted Lemon and Fort to be informed of the request so they could have a chance to challenge it.

Who Attended Jake Lang’s N-Word March in Minneapolis?
Minneapolis, MN — On Saturday, Aug. 22, Minneapolis residents met white supremacist provocateur and violent J6 terrorist Edward Jacob “Jake” Lang with fierce resistance outside of Minneapolis City Hall once again. For his second hate rally in Minneapolis, Lang planned this one as the "uyghur March” in protest of Shiloh Hendrix being found guilty of disorderly conduct after calling an 8-year-old the racial slur at a playground in Rochester, Minnesota. Instead of arriving unprepared and leaving with a gaping wound in the back of his skull, Lang showed up in the back of a truck with a private security escort following closely behind in an SUV, driving down the sidewalk of City Hall while he and his masked guards doused counter protesters in a generous amount of pepper spray. Minneapolis Police provided additional support to Lang by guarding his truck and punching and pushing counter protesters, arresting a handful, including the person dressed as Spider-Man who had jumped onto the truck and punched Lang. As quickly as they arrived, they left. Halfway through the six-minute performance, Lang snuck away into the passenger seat of the cab, leaving those that remained in the back in something resembling a group fetal position, shielding themselves from debris while dozens of police officers cleared the way for the vehicles to leave. Hours later, the Minneapolis Police Department announced that officers intercepted both vehicles, impounding them and arresting all of the occupants, charging them with probable cause riot and processing them throughout the afternoon at the Hennepin County Jail.

In 1948 Israeli soldiers outnumbered Arabs 4-1 with Arabs being bunch of British controlled puppet states and Arabs still made great strides before their rulers pulled back their leash. In 1973 Egypt and Syria steamrolled Israel before burgers sent them their cutting edge arsenal out of fear of nukes going off.

If it hadn't been a charade and Iran had kept firing missiles during the 12-day-war or, before the current ceasefire they could have razed Tel Aviv.

They could have filled their later missiles with clusters of bomblets instead of MIRVs or filled the old stock they sent to deplete interceptors with with same and made a bloodbath of any city. And no Jewish toughness, no amount of ruthlessness, nor any depth of bunker would have saved the inhabitants in either case.

The whole of the middle east oil industry isn't in flames for reasons other than "toughness", and if any of the parties were to press the red button as it were, no traits of character would stop the missiles either I think.
