AMA promises delayed employee pay will be issued after banking system failure
Officials at the Metropolitan Bus Authority (AMA by its acronym in Spanish) said Monday that employees affected by delayed payroll deposits were slated to receive their outstanding payments by the end of the day, as the agency works with Banco Popular to resolve a system issue that disrupted service and delayed the departure of dozens of buses. AMA President Luis González Rosario attributed the payroll delay to a problem with Banco Popular’s electronic payment system, rejecting suggestions that the agency had failed to process employee compensation on time.

Democratic Socialists of America see record wins in US midterm elections
In Michigan, DSA member Rashida Tlaib was re-elected to her seat in the US House, member Donavan McKinney was elected to the body for the first time, and William Lawrence defeated a Republican candidate for a highly competitive US House seat. Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old immigrant from Ethiopia who has also been outspoken on her views on issues like opposing Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and abolishing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), was elected to office with a wide margin to represent Colorado in the House.

International dockers strike shows how to defeat imperialism
Dockworkers play a fundamental role in the global supply chains that imperialism relies upon, particularly since the start of the war in Ukraine and the wars on Gaza and Iran. It is no accident that Friday’s strike was taken up by workers across Europe in particular, given that the continent has become the world’s biggest arms importer over the last five years. The workers involved in loading and unloading the weapons of imperialist war are not blind to the significance of the role that they play. Announcing the strike, the unions involved rightly denounced the militarisation of dockers’ workplaces: “From planes to tanks, guns to bullets, explosives to ammunition, uniforms to boots, our ports have become replenishing and forwarding bases for war and genocide.” It is precisely this pivotal position in the transport network that gives dockworkers their unique ability to cripple the war machine. Organisers estimated that Friday’s strike could have disrupted as many 52,000 containers with a total value of $2.8 billion. This shows the enormous power that has remained latent in this layer of workers. It is not hard to imagine the immense impact that action on an even larger scale by this militant section of workers could achieve. This is an invaluable lesson that the workers’ movement in general should pay attention to.

We Need a Socialist Congressional Caucus
The new socialist legislators, all of whom ran on the Democratic Party ballot line, can be expected (like Tlaib, AOC, and Sanders) to caucus with the Democrats. Despite achieving a meaningful beachhead in the legislature and being joined by left-populist allies like Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed and Maine’s Troy Jackson, socialists will still be a tiny minority within the Democratic caucus. The growing left wing will have to figure out how to coordinate effectively with each other while operating within the “big tent” of the larger congressional party. That party is full of members committed to pro-corporate and militarist agendas, and avowed anti-socialists Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are likely to be its leaders.

>stupid and evil are the same thing. there is no smart evil.
smart evil is when you get everyone to agree to play nice but you secretly still do bad things. dumb evil is when you refuse to play nice in front of everyone and look like an asshole.
> murderers and thieves and liars are inherently stupid myopic people working with a non-sustainable business model
there are suckers born every minute
> that will eventually fall apart when the criminals become bolder and greedier and sloppier and rest of human society become less ignorant and tolerant of their behavior.
i hope you are correct but my instincts tell me you're merely optimistic
> there's not really much of a difference between the murderers and thieves and liars of past administrations and those of the trump administration, the only thing that has really changed is the world getting fed up with the bullshit.
being fed up and doing something about it are two different things. a person can be "fed up" their whole life.
>machiavelli was an idiot. intelligence and morality are not separate things
Did machiavelli argue that precisely? i certainly wouldn't
>and the conflation of smart with evil is merely a re-definition of intelligence into a highly specific and narrow subset of skills that have to do with immediate short-term profits.
you have a point but I think it is a separate point from your much weaker point earlier that "there is no smart evil". while evil and smart certainly shouldn't be conflated, there are different types of "evil". a very stupid and maybe even mentally disabled person is capable of great evil, while a highly intelligent and maybe even sensitive and empathetic person is also capable of great evil.
>the coyote sneaking into the chickenhouse doesn't seem so clever anymore when the farmer figures out what is happening and waits outside one night with a rifle.
this is a poor example because the coyote is just hungry, not evil, and the farmer is a landowner and businessman who is trying to manage "live stock" i.e. literally animals that have been turned into property to be used as a source of meat, eggs, milk, Post too long.

Lets examine this OP because Hitlers reasons are silly however no one picked up on it in this thread.

>> religion, as a means of stupefying the people marked for exploitation
Here is a 100% serious question for Hitler who according to this book was starving and poor if god is real why did he not feed Hitler?

This is a 100% serious question despite how hardcore it sounds(because it strikes at the hart of the god delusion). In the old testament god did answer the prayer of the [I have no idea how Hitler reacts if I say jews or what he thinks the people of the old testament are] lets say gods chosen people.

Exodus 16
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2016&version=NIV

Why did god not do that for Hitler? Or anyone(in recorded history especially modern times)?

This is a 100% serious question. And it debunks religion and god hard!

What is Fascism? I see this word throw around a lot, people use it as to insult their opponents, but I really don't know what Fascism mean in deep sense.

>>2948446
>The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fascism is totalitarian, and the Fascist State — a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values — interprets, develops, and potentiates the whole life of a people.

>It is not the nation which generates the State; that is an antiquated naturalistic concept which afforded a basis for XIXth century publicity in favour of national governments. Rather is it the State which creates the nation, conferring volition and therefore real life on a people made aware of their moral unity.

>For Fascism the State is absolute, individuals and groups relative.

— ᴉuᴉlossnW, La dottrina del fascismo / The Doctrine of Fascism, 1932

>>2948446
It's a political movement spearheaded by ᴉuᴉlossnW from 1919 onwards, around the same time as National Socialism in Germany. It is often seen as part of the Third Position (e.g. neither capitalism or socialism). Ideologically, it is extremely anti-individualist and conceives of man in a "totalitarian" manner; that is, of all spheres of life being combined (e.g. the state, civil society, religion, etc.) This bears resemblance to Hegel's thinking. Giovanni Gentile, a leading Fascist intellectual, was a Hegelian, but Hegel himself was a Liberal.

Doesn't this just make her a Keynesian of some kind?

>>2945775
Weber goes beyond conventional Keynesianism. While Keynes classically focused primarily on managing aggregate demand Weber goes beyond and advocates for direct market intervention, such as price controls (big no-no until recently within Western mainstream econ) and actual state participation in commodity markets and her background as a China expert allowed her to have this platform and influence.

She is also influenced by Marxian political economy and institutional economics and which explains that's why she has a disproportionate influence economic history, power relations and the political construction of markets as in the central idea that markets aren't natural or neutral mechanisms, but institutions shaped by political decisions and state action, etc.

I mean you can call her post-Keynesian-influenced of some flavor but at this point this term is pretty meaningless because it's quite a catch-all term at this point.

>>2937795
Interesting, so if I’m a petty bourgeois or a farmer, is there a place for me under Maoism? Will this always be the case, or will I eventually lose my property and communism arrives?
Is it just me, or do I see parallels with Strasserism in these quotes?

>>2945933
>eventually lose my property
That's why things in China are technically not yours, they're just extremely long government leases that can be re-issued, since it's around 80 years on average it has not so far been contested so what would happen is speculation.

Dengism isnt really a thing.
Dengism is the collection over decades of somewhat rational decisions ('rational' assuming capitalist status-quo) taken by a government which has accepted capitalism as a simple, matter-of-fact reality, and either denounces or postpones revolutionary bifurcation.

even more simply: 'DENGISM' AS UNDERSTOOD BY THE WESTERNER IN 2026 IS DeGAULISM WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF (MULTIPARTY) ELECTIONS AND THE BOON OF A LARGE TERRITORY AND POPULATION.
