If you don't talk about OIL you think the recent wars are about "security" or "nationalism" or "anti imperialism" then you are a fed who defends the US oil industry by distracting from what's actually going on.

So let's talk OIL. World oil consumption is now 103 mbd (million barrels/day). This number is expected to peak in 2030 and depending on decarbonization scenarios, it could decline to between 50 mbd and 80 mbd by 2050.

Now take a good look at the oil production by countries. And look at the reserves.

What does all this tell you? It tells us that oil revenues and profits are going to tank in the coming 20 years. And oil is one of the last major profit centers in capitalism.

It's not a coincidence that major oil producers like Iran, Russia, USA, Gulf, Venezuela are all the major players in recent geopolitical upheavals. This is not a world war. This is a war specifically between oil producers trying to expand marketshare in a world of shrinking oil demand and profits.

Now there's another crucial aspect to consider here - that is the cost of production. The Gulf can produce oil cheaper than anywhere else in the world, while US and Venezuela oil needs prices to remain above $60 to be profitable.

Now can you connect the dots? In a shrinking oil world, it's the Gulf/Iran that will win out at the end by being the last remaining oil producing area that can produce profitable at very low prices. The US/Venezuela will have to sell at near cost to have any marketshare, and that's assuming they're still able to have any marketshare at all.

But the US and Gulf are mostly allies so instead of fighting each other, they've decided to neutralize the Iranian and Russian oil industry. This achieves the common benefit of both sides maintaining their marketshare while keeping prices high which benefits both US/Venezuela and Gulf.

Makes no sense, the US is lowering their carbon output themselves.

>>2866798

>>2866933
they'll keep doing it despite the current administration's attempt to boost oil production. there's an inherent tension between "Oil is expensive enough to be profitable" and "oil is cheap enough people will use it instead of renewables". if prices are too low, producers disappear. if prices are too high, consumers disappear. the only way to thread that needle is outright cash subsidies for oil. (which they get to some extent, but nowhere near enough to balance things out.)

if you set the US aside for one moment, the most remarkable thing in the world is the gigantic explosion in solar capacity in the developing world. the US can afford to be dumb, but when poor countries want electricity they don't even bother with conventional power plants anymore. (even then, the vast majority of newly added electrical capacity in the US today is solar + storage, and the single biggest solar producer is red-state Texas, and solar generated more power than coal for the first time in 2026 despite Trump also being pro-coal.)

>>2866950
Yes, oil is essentially cooked, that's the point. It will decrease in both volume sold, price sold and above all, profit made. That's why all the recent wars are involving oil producers. They're all fighting for disappearing marketshare and profits.

There are two moronic extremes, the "we're all headed toward death/a Mad Max world" and the "nothing's going to happen" camp.

I have some sympathy for the former because I'm from a region that's been hit hard by climate change. I understand where that feeling comes from. but I do agree with you that so much pointless death and suffering could be avoided if we adapted to the changing conditions.

The problem is that with the exception of China, very few governments have the political will to make those changes. They're content with maintaining the current system, at least until some major disaster comes along and ends up killing a lot of people.

>artifical meat
that…that industry is currently failing…

>>2863173
The problem is that it's currently not hype enough for venture capital and getting road blocks from governments getting lobbied by the cattle industry. It needs a lot of investment and research particularly to produce big steel tanks and make it economical even though the technology has already been worked out which is why it's still at least a decade away. So for now it's a rich consumer fad and niche product that's only allowed in a handful of country which means the market won't grow just yet.

>>2863179
which is a problematic issue because Idk if we do have a decade. Also even if we do, it might take longer than a decade. And it would also take time to maximize production in a way that replaces meat.
Theres also the other issue where the cattle industry pressure politicians to fund different alt solutions. Not exactly a great time we live in

Trump administration vows to ‘disable’ International Criminal Court
“Today, it threatens every aspect of our political and legal system,” he said. “If they believe they can deprive us of our sovereignty, we will teach them the full meaning of American resolve.” The announcement included few concrete steps, but listed several “actions under consideration”. They included an appeal to countries that partner with the US military and law enforcement to “reject the ICC’s purported authority to prosecute American officials and servicemen”.

Israel courted Iran’s former hardline president for post-regime role, reports claim
Ahmadinejad – who is now believed to be in the custody of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to a New York Times report citing Iranian officials – had begun in previous years to distance himself from the regime, improve his English and redefine his image. The effort to install him as a new Iranian leader gathered steam after Ahmadinejad was invited to speak at the same university in the Hungarian capital that had been addressed just two months earlier by Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, in 2025.

Business executives making 'contingency plans' for UAE-Saudi Arabia feud
The UAE and Saudi Arabia are at loggerheads on several geopolitical hotspots, including Yemen, Sudan and Israel. But they are also economic competitors. Saudi Arabia is trying to make its capital, Riyadh, the centre of regional business activity in direct competition with Dubai. The two neighbours have also clashed over energy, with the UAE massively boosting oil production since leaving the Saudi-led energy alliance Opec in May.

US justice department investigating UAW president over corruption allegations
Last month, the union’s court-appointed monitor released a report alleging that Fain improperly used his authority to push for a financial bonus for his fiancee and get worker’s compensation for his sister, Bloomberg reported. When Rich Boyer, UAW’s vice-president, refused to approve the benefits, Fain removed him as chief negotiator with carmaker Stellantis NV. The report ultimately deferred a decision on disciplinary action, and a federal grand jury subpoenaed the monitor over its report.

The vote, which passed by a 93 percent margin, marks a serious escalation in a struggle that has drawn in workers across New York City's major cultural institutions and coincides with parallel strike preparations by public defenders and legal aid attorneys in the city, also members of the UAW.

>South Africa’s anti-immigrant groups move from ultimatums to door-to-door threats. The objective seems to have changed: it’s no longer simply about demonstrating, but rather about undertaking what have come to be known as “door-to-door” campaigns. That is, going house to house to find foreign citizens and urge them — sometimes politely, sometimes forcefully — to leave the country. And, unlike other episodes of racial tension in the country’s history, the protagonists of these protests are, for the most part, Black South African citizens who are targeting Black immigrants.

Nationalism is such a fucking insidious disease.

Who Is in Charge in Venezuela?
On June 24, the collision of the South American tectonic plate with the Caribbean one caused a major release of energy from the depths of the Earth, leaving a trail of destruction in Venezuela. The 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that rocked the country caused thousands of deaths and the collapse of hundreds of structures. While we try to process the trauma and return to something that resembles “normalcy,” Venezuela, already battered by years of sanctions and the recent US military attack, now faces the challenge of rebuilding itself in the broadest sense of the word and in an ever more complicated context. With that in mind, we have to start by asking: who is in charge of the country and its future?

Britain’s Year of Arresting Pensioners As Terrorists Has Taken a Hatchet to Our Civil Liberties
A year and a day ago, octogenarian priest Sue Parfitt told Novara Media, “we cannot be bystanders”. Moments later, she became one of the first people in the country to be arrested under a draconian new law that many didn’t believe could be enforced. Parfitt had, of course, defied the proscription of direct action group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, after a ban came into effect at 00.01 the night before. Onlookers, who surrounded the group and chanted “free, free Palestine”, said they were shocked to see her and 28 other mostly elderly protesters bundled into police vans simply for holding up paper signs. Parfitt said she hoped “common sense would prevail” and that the new law would be immediately overturned. We expected that might happen, too. In the first few weeks, the UN, Amnesty International, many other NGOs and dozens of public figures condemned the ban as a “disturbing legal overreach” with chilling repercussions for freedom of speech and assembly. As more and more people vowed to break the law, things looked pretty bad for the British government and its loyal, miserable police force.

We live in capitalist societies, where money and time are the fundamental resources for building power. Almost every other resource can be purchased or built from these, or will be boosted by these. Therefore, it is most vital that you make money and put it to work.

The only real limit to these money-raising methods should be, "how could this negatively affect the movement?" Consider the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery by Bolsheviks - this event's recklessness and harm to civilians seriously damaged the Bolsheviks' reputation in Georgia and among other socialists. Contrast that against the 1906 Helsinki bank robbery, the Dusheti treasury heist and the Bezdany raid by various socialist organizations, which had no citizen casualties.

If you can do so with little risk, you absolutely should be pirating entertainment media, shoplifting and investing in mutual funds.

More so, if you are not publicly affiliated with the socialist movement, and you have the means, you should be buying property, owning factories or being a landlord. If your tenants and workers aren't socialists, it's very important for you to take as much of their money as you pragmatically can and use it to combat capitalism.

Remember: the status quo is destroying more people than you could ever hope to. To do nothing is harmful.

How about the stock market? That's what the visible half of porky does, isn't it? The other half does do violent heists and such, the cartels and mafias and the big bourg are one and the same in the big 2020s after all.

As a barely literate thirdoid who makes around 1800 USD a month I don't know a thing 'bout moni all I know is that on my job I get paid in the last week of the month if I work for jobsman and then I'm happy

I tried looking at the stock market a few times but there are way too many big boy words going on in there and my mind just keeps concluding it's a retarded and debauched casino to save myself some energy then I walk away everytime

>>2865965
Stock market is the best solution right now, banks don't store that much money on premises anymore. Remember that US Megachurches/Televangelists encourage all their listeners to donate 10% of their salaries to them, no matter how poor they are. Imagine if every socialist in the world saved 5% of their salary, invested it in the stock market, and let it grow so they can donate it to their party.

What do you think of them?
A lot of people on this board hate them for their supposedly inherent "Bourgeois" or "Petit bourgeois" elements but: 1. many of them are carried out by leftist orgs against military dictatorships or otherwise tyrannical governments, 2. Ignore the revolutionary potential of such movements and how the proletarian of the imperialistic nation can cooperate with the proletariat of the seceeding nation and result in a defeat for the former nation's bourgeoisie and their imperialistic power
  1. Even if they had beorgeois elements, Some nations such as kurds in Turkey historically or Kashmiris presently have been subjected to so much oppression and their position so unstable and tenouos that it's more important to advocate for their independence rather than let them be subjected to further oppression for the sake of barely tenable idealist principles

>one language, one cultural
????
Who said you must have one culture and language under communism? How would a social ownership of the means of production erase cultural differences between regions, Which arises due to different living conditions and vast distance between living spaces??
And the balkanization of imperialist countries into smaller ones doesn't mean attaining communism is impossible anymore than attaining communism is in this exact global state. elaborate on this point.
Your vision of communism of one united world government isn't incompatible with smaller scale local governorship I completely fail to see your point and honestly I think there is none you're just confused.
That's like saying governments on a provincial and state level are incompatible with the central government
