> on the contrary I have many premises, which is why I find your lazy assumptions about my motivations and inability to tell different users apart incredibly both tedious and, in and of themselves, part of the case against planning.

lots of assumptions there bud, still no premise

yeah, dirt cheap travel by plane is totally a prerequisite for a functioning market economy and not an example of the excesses and wastefulness of it. boeing becoming a dysfunctional quasi state enterprise that lost its core competency in engineering and manufacturing functional air planes is a great example for how well the market is able to allocate ressources in an efficient manner.
you ignoring every good faith post giving you arguments isn't you being a dishonest wrecker moron.

its totally us who are lazy and combatative and not you who has not a single clue about even the most basic fundamentals of political economy; or how a modern manufacturing supply chain operates end to end.

Nothing and no one will ever travel, that’s immigration and it’s scabbing

now just imagining anon getting pulled over by a state trooper and being like "shut the fuck up, clean up after me janny!!"

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say drugs, much like firearms, should be regulated

not even moralfaggotry I just don't want normies, having easy access to shit that may harm me directly (guns and spikable drugs) or indirectly ("I'm so high bro"-itis), they better go through as many hoops as possible and be put on as many publicly accessible lists with as much detail as possible too

It's pretty telling that one of your friends is a thug who murdered innocent people for the endless profits of capital, feels no remorse and you empathize with him, because this is your end goal, the complete, violent destruction of the rest of the world to benefit America.

Unlike your friend, you're just too much of a coward to do anything about it.

If Stalin invaded Vietnam he should not only have been resisted, but shot

There’s no such thing as an innocent person, let’s be real here

Ok but that does not mean that there will be no industrial capacities or infrastructure left after, regardless of the exonomic model that comes after. And it surely doesn't mean we can just go back to primitivist lives. (something that seems very ill defined, but that might just be me lacking knowledge about it)

2016 ass meme goddamn

>>2857565
Honestly, I just don't like the idea of having to work 8 hours a day just for the benefit of the few. I wish I could go back to the village and live a solitary life free from other society, other people genuinely scare me. I won't have enough money to achieve this though, but I just hate modern industrial society so much….

>>2858127
2016 wasn't this horny

>>2858126
again the critique made by primitivists isn't that all forms of industry will completely disappear but that complex industrial system of the modern world is fragile and can collapse given a strong enough economy down turn and crisis.

>In the 1960s and 1970s, Rand developed and promoted her Objectivist philosophy through nonfiction, media appearances, and speeches,[98][99] including annual lectures at the Ford Hall Forum.[100] In answers to audience questions, she took controversial stances on political and social issues. These included supporting abortion rights,[101] opposing the Vietnam War and the military draft (but condemning many draft dodgers as "bums"),[102][103] supporting Israel in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 against a coalition of Arab nations as "civilized men fighting savages",[104][105] claiming European colonists had the right to invade and take land inhabited by American Indians,[105][106] and calling homosexuality "immoral" and "disgusting", despite advocating the repeal of all laws concerning it.[107]

Is Kamala Harris trying to win back Democrat voters with a pro-Palestine approach?
Other than Mamdani, Harris has reportedly met with one member of the Uncommitted National Movement, the protest group founded by Layla Elabed and Abbas Alawieh, which urged the United States government to impose an arms embargo on Israel and call for a ceasefire during Israel's genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

Pope Serving as ‘Chinese Communist Agent’ by Criticizing AI, Says Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel
According to a Thursday report from CNN, Thiel told the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado on Tuesday that the pope was inadvertently serving as a “Chinese communist agent” when he released a 42,000-word encyclical that called for strict regulation of AI, a technology that the pontiff said heightens the “risk of dehumanization” throughout the world.

'Stretched to the limit': Heat wave prompts US electrical grid emergency
PJM supplies power to about 65 million customers in Washington, D.C., and in all or parts of 13 states, including Delaware, Michigan, Maryland, Kentucky, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Wright's emergency declaration, which went into effect at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday and will run through 11:59 p.m. on Friday, also directs PJM to conserve energy by curtailing power to data centers that have backup generators and other non-emergency facilities that use a lot of electricity.

Victims of Communism?
Putting aside whether the recent DSA electoral wins pose an existential threat to the capitalist class, the underlying fear has a material basis. As the billionaire class, and now, grotesquely, the trillionaire class, reap record profits, the quality of life in the heart of global capitalism and imperialism appears to be in rapid decline. Among the top leading causes of death for young people in the United States are drug overdoses, death by suicide, and gun deaths. Life expectancy has cratered across the board. For American Indian people, the decline in life expectancy is particularly acute, falling in recent years from an already abysmal of 71 years down to 65—with South Dakota reporting a median age of death for American Indian people of death at a staggering 58 years. Despite more than a million COVID deaths in the United States, the drop in life expectancy is caused by more than the pandemic; it includes massive inequalities and social and economic factors.

Why Does Andy Burnham Have so Little to Say on Foreign Policy?
In these listless days of Keir Starmer’s premiership, we’re all gasping for a crumb of real news. Ministers of state are being asked to weigh in on whether kids should be allowed to stay up for the England match this weekend, while the rest of the Parliamentary Labour Party is trying to hover around Andy Burnham’s eyeline in case he gives them a job. Labour, taking a breather after many months of public screeching, has decided to take its dirty laundry indoors. The selection of James Purnell as chief of staff last week gave us all something to chew over: but until we learn who gets the chancellor brief (Ed Miliband? Yvette Cooper? A secret third thing?) we’re all trying to patch together a sense of the next prime minister’s domestic agenda through set-piece speeches and unofficial briefings. The MP for Makerfield has been running a tightly controlled operation. He hasn’t taken many questions from the scrum at recent public appearances, preferring instead to sit down on his own terms with Andrew Marr on LBC, post TikToks with varying levels of seriousness, and answer questions on Reddit later this afternoon. It’s a fine balance between not appearing to hide and not tankPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

they believe in american exceptionalism and conflict of civilizations just as much as any other NeoCon they just disagree on who le good civilization-state is and still think the world revolves around america and americans.

menshevik revisionist who conspired with enemies of the revolution to remove stalin as premier 100% because he was malding that both lenin and the party liked stalin better. in exile he formed the 100% bourgeois CPUSA that to this day has yet to acheive anything, and wrote a bunch of cringe shit about how the proletariat of oppressed nations couldn't do revolution properly and they needed le western left to help. got booted out of the USA and went to mexico where he hooked up with frieda kahlo: quintessential libtard postcolonialist art ho who was pretending to be indigenous.

>Abolishing overproduction would not lead to drop in living standards, since with planning and rationing we can ensure decent living standards for 8.5 billion people using 30% of current production, and use the remaining surplus for luxury, free time, and science.

umm fuck your science. it's bourgeois. clearly the world is a zero sum game. every calorie that goes into a westoid tummy is ripped out of a third world tummy.

(jk anon, this is totally correct and has been correct for decades now)

And yet if you eliminate the inherent wastefulness of capitalism it becomes possible for literally everybody in the world to have a comparable living standard without growing global GDP.

search copper -> no results
search soil -> no results
search coltan -> no results
search concrete -> no results

Anyway the left should figure out if we need to expand the means of production to overcome scarcity or if we're actually overproducing and just have to distribute it better. The latter is probably more optimistic unless you want to start doing asteroid mining or we figure a way to save the topsoil and vanishing fossil water.
