Also the Terminator movies. (More laser guns though but I can see lasers being used more as defensive anti-drone weapons.) Making the small robots is easy but to get them to work like that will mean plugging them into an AI brain, so that's what is going to happen.

Why don't armies just use microwave weapons against drones then?
They cheap and fry the inside of the drone disabling them

>>2849971
It's also very cheap to protect them with a faraday cage so those weapons would work a grand total of a few days/weeks until this is set up. Even random protestors already came up with solution against microwave riot weapons so an half assed organized military would have no issue.

It's not true AI. You're falling for a maketing buzzword. These "dadtcenters" are going to be used for survelliance. The bourgiouse is afraid and they are panicking. They are desprate to try to gain "immortality" because they are aftaid of their own death.

I'll admit I'm not the biggest understander of it but even assuming it's not trve AI and can never be (I've read some smart people posit this before), is it really truly incapable of running manufacturing operations after porky pours every single cent on them? I feel like that's very unlikely.

I'm not talking about the free chatbots you can use to shitpost online, but the actual made-for-purpose bid budget boys.
I'd be glad to be proven wrong.

Tensions Escalate Between Resistance Groups in Mandalay Region
Four members of the People’s Defense Force (PDF), the NUG’s armed wing, were killed and several others injured by PLA land mines while inspecting camps abandoned by withdrawing PLA forces, according to locals and the PDF group. The intergroup dispute stemmed from the PLA’s arrest of an alleged junta informant within an NUG-controlled rural area of Taungtha Township.

Gig Companies Are Using Your Data to See How Low a Wage You’ll Accept
Ride-hailing companies have long used algorithms to determine how much to pay drivers for a trip – and tech vendors in the US are now exporting that model to other sectors, according to a Washington Center for Equitable Growth report from last year. According to the report, platforms like Uber and Lyft track users’ personal data – like how often they find work through the app and for what wage – to find workers who will accept the bare minimum without the protections that come with fixed-term contracts.

ASEAN and Russian leaders meet in Kazan amid global energy crisis
The summit took place as the G7 met simultaneously in Évian, France. The two gatherings—one pledging to tighten the sanctions strangling Russia, the other deepening cooperation with Moscow—capture in a single week the accelerating fracture of the postwar capitalist order.

‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison
After a three-week trial, a jury found eight of nine protesters guilty of “providing material support to terrorists”, among other crimes. For the Sotos, this “material support” included owning a “printing press” used to print anarchist zines and being part of a leftist book club, the federal government argued. The couple had already left the scene by the time guns were drawn. All eight of the defendants sentenced so far have received unusually harsh sentences – 30 to 100 years – essentially life in prison.

Marjorie Taylor Greene joins Tucker Carlson in ditching the GOP

Judge bars immigration arrests at US courthouses in a setback for Trump
The Trump administration’s reversal of long-standing policy against arrests at immigration court resulted “not from merely unreasoned decision-making but a complete lack of decision-making,” wrote U.S. District Judge Casey Pitts of San Francisco. Authorities failed to address the “chilling effect” of arrests on whether people attend court hearings.

“Starmer is the symptom, not the disease”, says the Communist Party of Britain
"Keir Starmer is a symptom of Britain’s political crisis, not its cause. His successor must realise that unless Labour ditches Starmer’s toxic cocktail of austerity, economic insecurity and war, the next political crisis will bring a far-right government to power. Starmer’s resignation less than two years after a general election in which Labour won a parliamentary majority of 174 seats, confirms the failure of his authoritarian New Labour tribute act, and the increasing instability of Britain’s ruling class.

Tudeh Party of Iran, "War Profiteers" and the Need to Achieve a Lasting Peace!
…. In the midst of these clashes, after the Islamic Republic’s retaliatory attacks on US bases in the region, Trump threatened to attack Iran much harder and seize Iran’s oil resources, including Kharg Island. Trump’s outrageous remarks exposed the aggressive nature of US imperialism to the judgment of world public opinion even more than before. However, after the world expressed concern and condemned Trump’s position, and considering the adverse consequences that the long-term closure of the Strait of Hormuz would have had for the world economy, including the United States itself, Trump, claiming that the leaders of the Islamic Republic had been in contact with him and were serious about peace, announced that the principles of a general agreement or understanding with the Islamic Republic to end the war had been finalized and that an agreement or memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two countries would be signed soon. The events of recent months have shown once again that the Islamic Republic is facing a series of internal and external challenges, each of which alone can endanger the stability of the ruling political system. However, what today, along with the external threat, seriously challenges the ruling regime is the internal situation of the country. Iran's economy is going through one of the most difficult periods. Chronic inflation, devaluation of the national currency, increase in poverty and unemployment, and the spread of social inequaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>How come there aren't any communist mass shooters?
because adventurism and terrorism are retarded tactics that lead to failure. The rise of the far right is owed to burgeois support not chud retards shooting up supermarkets and mosques.

>>2848727
Right now you come across precisely as what you are: a schizophrenic retard virtually indistinguishable from Polacks screeching about (unfalsifiable) shadow Jewry, apropos an unsubstantiated accusation you conjured up because something reflexively triggered you (which is already much closer to actual left-com behavior, btw–classical projection).

>>2827837
mainly because I don't think there's any leftist political literature that says "shooting random groups of people will establish communism."

If you think about it, communism requires sociability and human cooperation as both an ideological tenet and as a practical means of organizing for its goals.

Not to say the left doesn't do violence. It does. It's just usually coordinated and with so much attempt at a greater purpose.

Also i suspect communists are much more likely to just kill themselves the to go do a mass shooting as a form of physical and social suicide. Why this is, i have no evidence for other than a lack of communist mass shooters and an abundance of right-wing/liberal mass killers.

>>2848577
He did seem a bit reactionary (the shooter) though he was a communist and did say capitalism is the biggest threat not Judaism so…(I am not a terrorist and im against that Mr . Trump)

>>2849187
Maybe, but I read Mark Rudd's autobiography about his time in the WU and his account makes them sound like a bunch of idealistic rich kids with money and connections who absolutely could not handle the fact that nobody took them seriously. Before the Weather Underground, they were in SDS. They met with a Vietnamese delegation and basically asked, "How do we start a revolution in America and help defeat the US military?" The Vietnamese response was more or less: please don't. Organize peaceful protests, donate money if you can, and remember that the Vietnamese and American people aren't your enemies.
That absolutely shattered them. They wanted to be Che Guevara, instead they got told to hand out flyers and write checks. The Vietnamese were trying to be practical, but the SDS radicals heard it as condescension. They were so desperate to be taken seriously as revolutionaries that being told to do something useful felt like a personal humiliation

i wish western communists were brave enough to do something, sad how the closest thing to an actual communist party there is the ACP

Nobody gave a fuck about security back then. Airports didn't even have security screenings with metal detectors until 1972 because plane hijackings started happening literally weekly. People could just carry a gun onto a plane and demand a trip to Cuba… laffo

the CPV are fascist, they are platner, etc.

This was a genuine argument among some Western Maoists. They insisted that the Vietnamese had fallen under the sway of Russian chauvinism and saw the invasion of Cambodia as evidence. It was fucking hilarious

>Vietnam’s naked aggression against Kampuchea and the Kampuchean people reached a new level with the capture of the capital city at Phnom Penh on Jan. 7. After a 16 day full scale armed invasion involving over 100,000 troops and heavy aerial bombing, the Vietnamese are now claiming control over “almost all” of Kampuchea.
>Under cover of their puppet organization, the “Kampuchean National United Front for National Salvation” formed less than one month before the invasion, the Vietnamese claim that they have rallied the Kampuchean people behind their leadership.
>Yet despite their claims of widespread popular support, resistance to the Vietnamese invaders continues to be fierce throughout the country. Fighting is reportedly heavy at the country’s only deep water port at Kompong Som and several islands northwest of it. The Kampuchean army still remains in control of the provincial capital at Pursat, 100 miles northwest of Phnom Penh. In addition heavy fighting continues in Battambang, northwest Kampuchea’s major city, Sisophon 30 miles east of the Thai border and at Nimit 13 miles from the frontier.
>These examples of resistance reflect the heroic revolutionary spirit of the Kampuchean people. As our Chinese comrades state, “The capture of Phnom Penh by the Vietnamese does not mean the end but the beginning of the war.” As is evident the Kampuchean Revolutionary Army and people under the leadership of the Kampuchean Communist Party (CPK) are already actively waging a people’s war. While the Vietnamese control the towns, the Kampuchean army remains strong in most of the countryside enjoying the full support of the people. Ieng Sary, Deputy Prime Minister of Kampuchea, speaking in Peking said that Kampuchea would continue fighting even though its army was heavily outnumbered by the Vietnamese. “We do not have so big an army but wePost too long.

I'm not against participating in elections, I just don't think it's how we obtain power. Having allies in high places will help, but even if we somehow took control of the government through electoralism we'd have to fight a war to meaningfully wrench power out of the hands of the bourgs. Violence is inevitable.

I don't put any weight into her tweets from 4 years ago but this isn't all that pro-Russia regardless. I condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine (As does she) and it's undeniable that the hostility of the West towards Russia has created the conditions that gave rise to the current situation.
