Agreed. You cannot predict the madness of capitalism. Just when you think you understand it, it evolves, adapts, like a deadly virus.

They don't call America the great Satan just because it's cool. It means something. A metaphysical tyrant and concept of oppression and pain most can't begin to understand. I have some ideas of what could transpire, but even than those are but hopeful copes on my part as a living man. It'll be more depressing and hasty with the changes than I could verbally predict.

Not even Marx himself could've forseen people's reactions and psychological entropy from post industrial capital. Your average person does not even see the factories or the bloodshed. Let alone how it all relates to the mobility of what their Epstein politicians will call progress.

I don't say that to scare anyone or to circlejerk what's already a common anti western sentiment. I don't need anyone's approval, and if I did, there's noone on leftypol who could provide me what I seek anyway. It's just an observation. Dialectical materialism.

Yes, but they have a childish view of what rich means
For example, rich people don't deal in money, they deal in assets and expenditure of the capabilities of those assets. Money might as well be shit left over from dinosaurs eating up all the food. That's essentially what money is. We know this because banks can oh so easily freeze accounts, ignore debts, print more, meanwhile they think some taxes or more funds for poor communities is going to solve a damn thing.

You're not physically going to take over industry and the bourgeois isn't going to just give it to you willingly. Revolution is a power fantasy and reforms are a nightmare induced by the weak.

US satellite firm Planet Labs announces blackout on war on Iran images
The US company announced the decision in an email to customers on Saturday, with news agencies quoting it as saying the government had asked satellite imagery providers ⁠to impose an “indefinite withhold of imagery”. The restriction expands upon a 14-day delay on imagery of the Middle East that Planet Labs implemented last month, which extended an initial 96-hour delay, a move the firm said was meant to prevent adversaries from using the imagery to attack the US and its allies.

Why socialist Cuba is more democratic than the U.S
The renewed escalation of hostility by the Trump administration towards Cuba—through tightened sanctions, political pressure, and open ideological aggression—once again exposes a fundamental contradiction. A country that presents itself as the "global model of democracy" continues to treat a small socialist island as a persistent threat. This is not a coincidence. It points to something deeper: what is being contested is not “democracy” in the abstract, but two fundamentally different ways of organizing power in society. At a moment when Cuba faces intensified economic pressure and systematic attempts at destabilization, a simple question emerges: if Cuba is truly “undemocratic,” why must it be constantly attacked, isolated and discredited? And, just as importantly, what does it reveal about the United States that it invests so much effort in undermining it?

Crypto Is Flailing
It feels like just yesterday when crypto markets last crashed hard. Back in 2022, what had been a wildly careening celebrity- and media-fueled hype train suddenly was a smoldering wreckage. Those were the days of Sam Bankman-Fried’s fraud-riddled FTX exchange, which went belly up along with a slew of other big crypto projects. The price of Bitcoin, the largest and most trend-setting of thousands of cryptocurrencies, dropped from its high of over $64,000 in 2021 to barely hitting $17,000 by 2022’s end. Along with Bitcoin, all things crypto sank. It felt at the time as though we all awoke from a bizarre collective dream in which mass-produced JPGs of cartoon monkeys had sold for prices that rivaled those of an average home, and trading made-up digital tokens on your phone promised to deliver unthinkable riches for the brave of heart. In the wake of crypto’s crash, most people preferred to tune out anything that included words like “blockchain,” “NFTs,” or “Bitcoin.” Even when prices for crypto recovered in 2024, the cringey backwash of 2022 clung on within mainstream public opinion. And then came Donald Trump.

How are you guys still caping for capitalist governments? Have you all completely abandoned communism? Why aren't you working on creating your own independent working class movement? Why are the only two options available is either support West aligned capitalists or support East aligned capitalists?

authoritarianism is good, actually

You are being ignorant. Economic planning can be easily done by collecting data from before and during the revolution on the prices of what was produced and the cost of producing these goods. Eventually, local people's councils will send constant local information to update the national economic plan, which will be adjusted by regional and local people's councils, communicating with the Supreme People's Council for economic planning to meet the needs of the population. So there is no problem at all; there will always be a generic fund for creativity in culture, entertainment, and research. If something on a larger scale is needed, then there will be a discussion to decide on the use of resources to produce something on a large scale to be included in the economic plan.

Isn't reactionary content part of human psychology though?

>>2767331
>Aren't Youtubers with employees they pay technically part of the bourgeoisie?
they're small business owner because they still work themselves, so petit bourgeois at best, and in reality even worse than that because they're completely at the whim of the platform they use and depend on, so they don't even own all their means of production (because the distribution is a crucial part of their domain)

>Have video platforms been a net gain for the left wing
hard to say. On one hand, the media concentration in the hands of few superporkies already happened in the old shchool media sphere which completely excluded alternative narratives, so the video platforms do allow alternative voices some space they didnt have anymore, but they're still dependent on those platform goodwill (and we know the algorithms are explicitly loaded against marxists and anti imperialist ideas and favor the current liberal consensus)

>Why does anarchism tend to have little to no videos covering it on video platforms compared to other camps
coz their organization is shit, and their theory as well

>streamers to be the equivalent of politicians
they're not. they're mostly alternative editorialists (the media talking heads indicating the authorized opinions)

>aren't video creators the equivalent of theory
no

>>2767448
No people generally watch what's shoved in front of their eyeballs.
Keep in mind the old internet is dead. Most people don't choose what content they consume anymore, or at least they only choose within a limited range of what the platform provides. They just consume whatever's on their feed (algorithmic slop).

>Aren't Youtubers with employees they pay technically part of the bourgeoisie?
Yes they are.

>>2767469
I meant that in the sense outrage and spectacle create and spark emotional reactions back and forth between people
