I have a feeling Hegseth has the potential to become a Coriolanus. He already has the psychological traits and motivations. A commander who starts out fiercely loyal to his homeland, but through war comes to admire aspects of the enemy while growing disillusioned with his own state's political leadership and civilian society as decadent, and ungrateful. All it would take is for him to be cast aside by his own side and offered a place by the enemy and you'd have a classic Coriolanus.

Pentagon Launched ‘Unprecedented’ Polygraph Spree After Leaks Revealed Disastrous Truth About Iran War: NYT
The polygraph campaign “appeared aimed at not just ferreting out anyone who may have shared information, but intimidating others who might do so in the future,” the Times reported. The Times reported that the hunt for leakers has “intensified an atmosphere of deep distrust and paranoia inside the Pentagon” under the leadership of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has purged multiple top military officials during his tenure leading the department.

‘Too lazy to do the job’: Democrats dump on Fetterman after WSJ report
The Journal’s story recounted multiple instances of Fetterman refusing to meet with constituents in Washington, even for scheduled meetings. In one case, he canceled on three paralyzed military veterans in his office, telling his staff that he was feeling unwell. But Fetterman came into the office shortly thereafter to prepare for a live hit with Fox News.

DHS Facial Recognition Software Used Against Minnesota 15
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has deployed an aggressive facial recognition apparatus for monitoring and tracking domestic political dissidents, raising questions about why an agency created after 9/11 to fight the global war on terrorism is now maintaining centralized dossiers on ordinary American protesters. Four days after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge, HSI began Operation Puppet Master, their undercover spying campaign that netted conspiracy charges against 15 people who allegedly took part in protesting against ICE. An HSI undercover agent, embedded inside the Signal group chat Whipple Watch, downloaded a selfie posted by Isaac Sant. The photo shows Sant’s face bruised from rubber bullets. The agent uploaded the selfie to Clearview AI’s facial recognition database that turned it into a dossier.

The Marxist approach to war
In his Philosophy of History, Hegel remarked that “it was not so much from slavery as through slavery that humanity was emancipated.” A similar thing could be said about war, which – for all its horrors and barbarities – has shaped the world in ways good as well as bad. History almost appears to us as an endless series of armed conflicts: wars of imperialist domination; wars of national defence and liberation; colonial and slave wars; and, of course, civil wars. It could be said that wars provide the second most important impulse for historical development, behind revolutions – although even then, many revolutions are the result of wars, or evolve into wars in the course of their unfolding. Unlike the teary-eyed pacifists, Marxists recognise that war is a natural outgrowth of class society. We understand that no serious transformation of society can take place without a pitched battle between the contending classes. Leninism, Leon Trotsky once remarked, is “warlike from head to foot”. And yet, at the same time, we maintain that war is a stamp of barbarism; a black mark on humanity’s record, and a blight on our species. War is rightly reviled and hated by workers and young people – as barbaric, violent, backwards, Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

it's all romantic and exciting until the revolutionaries run out of cops and soldiers to kill and they're drinking and still high on adrenaline and they decide to break down your door to steal every valuable thing you own and cave in your skull with a rifle butt and run a train on your wife.

this. for all of Marx' materialism, there's still oodles of metaphysics in Capital, such as the notion that commodities "embody" labour

>>2907273
You can insist it's not a barrier to entry all you want but since no other non-theocratic ideology insists on it, you're inherently setting yourself up to have narrower appeal and thus handicapping yourself for no reason other than to feel superior.

>>2907293
>You could grind up every machine in the world and not not find one atom of "horse-power"
this is his how you sound like btw

>>2907388
but anon, you can measure the amount of power a motor generates. whereas there is no way in general to measure how much labor or value that motor "embodies". you'd know this if you've read vol III, or if you've looked at the literature on joint production

Retards like you is why 'the pipo' should not be 'put in power'.

> Who is doing the enslavement? Why would an economy run for use and not profit of few individuals and without a state require slavery.
Your own needs and the needs of others in society, it’s a lesser form of slavery than to nature or to private property or money, but is still slavery in the end. As for free association I doubt we’ll ever get to the point where labor specialization isn’t required to maintain and produce the ever increasingly complex infrastructure and technology that makes everything so convenient in the first place. Maybe we can get rid of wages, but I’m much more skeptical about getting rid of “jobs”. Even if the janitor was socially worshipped and compensated twice or four times that of other workers it doesn’t make that work fun or enriching.

>>2906744
>Who is doing the enslavement?
In theory, you can't choose not to work. In history the blame is on the regime and the regime alone and not the theory they claimed to follow.

>>2906937
>Your own needs and the needs of others in society, it’s a lesser form of slavery than to nature or to private property or money, but is still slavery in the end.
No, it's actually the worst because it's mediated (bottlenecked through) by officials and then forced on you. If it was to Nature or some abstract economy, you could use your wit to get an easier deal and there's some explanation that this is how things work anyway. That alone would benefit the collective in many ways. If it's Big Brother telling you what to do, it's Big Brother telling you what to do and he's got a gun and there's nothing you can do to change your job and purpose. There's no describing to how bad that would feel or what you would do to get out of it, rabid is how I would begin.

It's officials and their fear of communist leadership that genocided the sparrows in Maoist China and allowed agricultural Lysenkoism to make the existing famines worse in the USSR.

Even if a communist paradise was the natural end of human history, the idea that violent revolution would lead to it only misled the people away from realising that. You don't have to be a crusader for natural Truths, well… not in this way.

You print money to buy weapons and weapons depreciate like rusty cars but you've got nukes so you can't use them directly yourself.

You sell the weapons to some people but they don't want to use the weapons either because war is destructive and they like their healthcare system very much.

Weapons keep getting sold and re-sold until they're used somewhere out there in the solar system.

Weapons were a necessary evil in history but what if they decided to take over history instead to guarantee their profits?

>>2906744
NTA but no free people would work in factories or mines if they had better options. The free people of the world had to be slaughtered or pushed onto marginal land for the sake of "progress." But in fairness to the commies, theirs might be a more tolerable slavery, if the universal labor camp worked out as they say (but every camp needs guards and a warden).

>>2904812
I heard in CHINA people don't identify as commies unless they're actually in the party. Otherwise they might call themselves commie supporters. I don't know if that's true I heard it from social media but it sounds GOOD so I'll repeat it and say that could apply here also.
