Hey Aussies I am a bong/pom and I am considering my options on where the fuck to get out to if things go tits up here. For some reason I am drawn to Perth. Is it worth moving to as a last resort??

ITALIANS DO IT BETTER

Manica di degenerati. Non mi aspettavo proprio che dopo un mese d'assenza, il filo cadesse dalla tavola. Vabè, leftypol ormai è l'ombra di quello che era soltanto qualche anno fa, ma c'è un limite a tutto.

ItaBros, how is it like actually living in Italy? as a kid (and still now, kind of) I used idealize Italy, it just seemed so beautiful. the food, the lifestyle, the culture, everything seemed warm and idyllic. but how is the actual material, economic, and political state of things, especially in regards to the common people and daily life? I already know a bit about the government and important figures and parties like meloni, the m5s and others, so you don't have to include those if you want to, but you can also include other non-mentioned areas/aspects of society to give me a broader image.

Stories pazzesca ma vera.

Sembra che anche l’accoltellatore era un destropitecho.

Questo è avvenuto quando Meloni si impegna a mettere un limite massimo di 30% studenti stranieri nelle scuole italiane, mentre sta implementando l’austerità sui fondi scolastici per scuole pubbliche.

>>2917871
Nice for an expat or a retired, but it sucks for a young Italian given the precarious job market and limited opportunities for young people. Richer than Russia and the Balkans for sure, but as you’re aware by now poverty is relative, and for most Italians Italy is a poor country.

>TL;DR everyone must pay for crimes of their ancestors. i will accuse everyone of being jewish while appealing to this idea from the old testament

Collective punishment is good. The reason it doesn't apply to the Palestinians is because they don't deserve to be punished because they committed no crimes. Out of all the things you could possibly criticize Judaism for, collective punishment is one of the most retarded. Because it can also applies to the Jews themselves. Hamas is implementing collective punishment against Israel. Those music festival/dancer whores that died on Oct 7th weren't contributing anything related to Israeli military stuff and I'd wager a lot of them weren't even old enough to be conscripted into the IDF when they died, but they still deserved to die because they are financially upkeeping a settler colonial entity. Just like German civilians working under the Nazis deserved to die even if they weren't actively participating in the Wehrmacht or SS. Collective punishment is one of the best examples of class justice working itself out materially in the world. When the Haitian slaves overthrew their colonial masters they butchered them and it was based and good and should happen again since the Anglo Saxons are still imperializing them to this day.

nice mental gymnastics
> Hamas is implementing collective punishment against Israel.
did they though. even al aqsa flood barely hurt israel. a few hundred ravers and IDF soldiers. in response israel slaughtered at least 75,000 (probably more) Gazans.

anyway you're an insane person who believes people should be punsihed for the crimes of their ancestors. there is no reasoning with you. YOU will be held accountable for YOUR insane behavior. not your son. not your grandson. YOU.

Because the manufacturers are colluding to raise prices and the government isn't doing anything about it.



 

What did Marx mean by this in the Communist Manifesto.
<"Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country."
>The Communist Manifesto, Chapter II: Proletarians and Communists
My three potential interpretations are as follows.
A) Marx viewed that the separation of the rural and urban populations led to conflict to due living in separate conditions. Like how we see rural populations now a day being far more reactionary than urban ones.
B) Marx viewed that alienation wouldn't just stop with abolishment of capitalism but we would to have to workers produce there own food and industrial goods. Instead of having them exchanged between city factories and country farms.
C) Marx thought the cities would dominate the surrounding country and lead to the reformation of the state.

>>2903935
>Is abolishing wage labor or worker/capitalist distinctions also completely optional? Where do you draw the line?

I just feel like Marx is outdated now. The revolution failed and we're in a different world now. He was right… about many things, but he had blindspots. Genius tier Dunning-Krugerism.

>>2905553
Then you are not a communist if you don't believe that
>>2906078
I think he first meant that as technology develops production necessarily becomes simplified for operator, and you only need a few specialized people to keep up with maintenance of the machine. Most production is simple for the worker and only in some cases do you need someone familiar with the technical know how. I think also since this was also written in 1847 when machines were relatively simple compared to modern times.

>>2903818
>Marx talks about recovering human waste to use in agriculture instead of letting the nutrients flow into rivers and seas
Marx was collecting his own feces in jars for this same reason. There's a letter from Engels to Michael Danube complaining about the smellz in Marx's room.

>Marx is outdated now. The revolution failed and we're in a different world now. He was right… about many things, but he had blindspots. Genius tier Dunning-Krugerism.
About what? You didnt even say anything. That he was too optimistic regarding capitalist development?

>>2906085
Is this coming from personal experience? And communism is actually simpler than capitalism ever could be theorylet. As a matter of fact, capitalists purposely complicate education for their mode of production as well.

The quote in Capital Volume 2 does not match the implication of the picture.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1885-c2/ch01.htm#4

>True, the capitalist must also be there, must also live and consume to be able to perform the function of a capitalist. To this end, he has, indeed, to consume only as much as the labourer, and that is all this form of the circulation process presupposes. But even this is not formally expressed, since the formula concludes with M', i.e., a result which can at once resume its function as money-capital, now augmented.


>C' — M' directly contains the sale of C'; but C' — M', a sale on the one part, is M — C, a purchase, on the other part, and in the last analysis a commodity is bought only for its use-value, in order to enter (leaving intermediate sales out of consideration) the process of consumption, whether this is individual or productive, according to the nature of the article bought. But this consumption does not enter the circuit of individual capital, the product of which is C'. This product is eliminated from the circuit precisely because it is a commodity for sale. C' is expressly designed for consumption by others than the producer. Thus we find that certain exponents of the mercantile system (which is based on the formula M — C … P … C' — M') deliver lengthy sermons to the effect that the individual capitalist should consume only as much as the labourer, that the nation of capitalists should leave the consumption of their own commodities, and the consumption process in general, to the other, less intelligent nations but that they themselves should make productive consumption their life’s task. These sermons frequently remind one in form and content of analogous ascetic expostulations of the fathers of the church.


It seems Marx is not promoting Dengism but rather attacking those that support "sound money" fiscal conservatives. This line stands out:
>individual capitalist should consume only as much as the labourer, that the nation of capitalists should leave the consumption of their own commodities, and the consumption process in general, to the other, less intelligent nations but that they themselves should make productive consumption their life’s task.

On September 18, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Infringing Information Concerning Enterprises and Continuously Optimizing the Online Business Environment". Here's the most imporant part in the notice (most notably 2, 4 and 5):

[…] Website platforms must proactively identify and address the following types of infringing content:

Personal information: Includes the disclosure of personal identity and contact details, such as ID cards, passports, household registration records, home addresses, and phone numbers, as well as sensitive personal data like biometric information, medical and health records, financial account details, and location tracking data.

Insults and derogatory content: Includes verbal abuse or insults directed at enterprises and entrepreneurs; the malicious parodying or caricaturing of corporate logos, products, or entrepreneurs' likenesses; maliciously linking enterprises or entrepreneurs to pornographic or vulgar topics; and using stigmatizing language to disparage enterprises, entrepreneurs, or specific brand users.

Impersonation and counterfeiting: Includes impersonating news organizations to produce or publish information regarding corporate oversight; publishing information under the guise of an enterprise or entrepreneur; and the unauthorized use of names, logos, or entrepreneurs' names and likenesses, identical or similar to those of the actual enterprise, in the names, avatars, or profiles of public accounts.

False and misleading information: Includes taking entrepreneurs' past statements out of context or distorting their meaning; displaying search keyword suggestions or landing page results that contradict the facts; republishing false information that has already been authoritatively refuted or clarified; and disseminating information that conflicts with public statements issued by the enterprise or entrepreneur via their official accounts on major platforms.

What does leftypol think of Larouche and his weird cult that still exists. His ideology was extremely schizophenic and he also had a huge influnce on the SDI program under Regan, with larouche claiming he created it.

Larouches have split into Xi simps and trump simps
>Although alot could be said about the similarities between LPAC and TLO/SI such as both claiming to represent the mission of the late Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., support for authoritarian leaders, opposition to climate change, etc. There are emerging differences and I wanted to list them. Here's my top ten feel free to add. Man114, can you pin?
>LPAC
-Promotes Trump as the new Larouche
-Largely focused on domestic politics
-Appeals to baser instincts as a recruitment strategy (hate, anger)
-Narrowly focused on recruiting one constituency: Trump's base (MAGA Republicans)
-Largely concentrated on the West Coast U.S. A.
-Cult of personality (Trump) is not their organization's leader
-Has a narrow domestic agenda: 2nd Trump term, Trump dominated GOP, Republicans in control of Congress
-Ashamed of LaRouche's socialist/Democratic Party past
-Outlet for Pro-Trump right-wing propaganda
-promotes "America First" LaRouchism as a national program

IVE heard of the SI I feel like LPAC is more faithful to larouche(since larouche wouldve probably done tgis) while SI is more closely aligned with ACP but with bigger deviations from Marxism
I have heard that Caleb maupin is the modern larouche which I actually agree with because they’re both weird in their views larp as labor Union bros and even down to the sex cults

>>2908065
Caleb isnt a fascist that beats CPUSA members doe

Larouche bump

>>2908019
I was looking at some MAGA infighting on X the other day (just randoms MAGA people) in the context of the Texas Senate race and this one Trump die-hard who supported the war with Iran was posting Promethean Action stuff, which is the rebranded LPAC. Wild. Apparently they think by Trump attacking Iran that he's eliminating British control over the Strait of Hormuz. BTW the weird left-coded LaRouche stuff tends to neglect how violently fascist and freakish they were in the 1980s, especially if you go back and read their literature from those days. They were ardent Cold Warriors and militarists dreaming up plans on how to maximize the death toll in a nuclear attack on the USSR but that was also combined with the international global development stuff.
