I'm starting to think there is an actual material difference between liberals and conservatives, even if in the end they are both capitalists

like, the world moves very differently under a free trade pro immigration system than a protectionist traditionalist anti immigration system.

in the long run I think the future actually belongs to neoliberal world order with lesbian drone pilots and multicultural consumerist capitalism, trump is just a tantrum before the world fully embraces fag microplastic AI consumer socialdemocrat free trade capitalism

South Yemen secessionists, supported by the UAE, are crushing the Saudi puppet state and took over most of the cities in the Southern part of the country, also taking control of the Oman-Yemen border. But the Southern Transitional Council isn't communist like was South Yemen, and fully supports the Palestinian genocide:

>Transitional Council chief says Abraham Accords will be key to stability after Gaza war
Declaring an independent southern Yemeni state would pave the way for entering the Abraham Accords, the deputy chairman of Yemen's Presidential Council Aidarous Al Zubaidi told The National in an interview.

>The president of the Southern Transitional Council said all the conditions were in place for statehood and added that secession would allow the south to make its own foreign policy decisions, including the option of joining the Abraham Accords.

>“Before the events in Gaza, we were advancing towards joining the Abraham Accords,” he said. “If Gaza and Palestine regain their rights, the Accords will be essential for stability in the region. When we have our southern state, we will make our own decisions and I believe we will be part of these accords.”

>Yemen's eight-member Presidential Council leads the anti-Houthi, internationally recognised government in exile in Aden. The secessionist Southern Transitional Council holds three of those eight seats.

>Mr Al Zubaidi framed independence not just as a local aspiration but as part of a wider commitment to stability in the region. “We support the two-state solution – a Yemeni state in the north and in the south – and a Palestinian state alongside Israel,” he said. “Self-determination is a right. All people have the right to determine their future.”

>I’m doing this because I want my factory worker to buy my cars. If they make enough money, they’ll buy my own product.

This is probably a stupid question.

Is it possible for the globe to prioritize growth of the means of production sufficiently to allow for development of the developing world, and countries like China, without having deindustrialization of the developed world? I'm thinking of things like shifting production towards the manufacture of manufacturies, and the mass education of personnel. Something like creating the jobs and the consumers simultaneously.

Obviously there are constraints on resource, which only advancement of the means of production can eventually solve. But there's no rightful moral code that says that the developed countries are more entitled to these resources than the developing world. Could it be that within these limits that aggregate consumption could be grown on this model?

Is it possible that this can be done within the capitalist mode of production? It seems that this might be close to what the Soviet Union was capable of doing within its borders.

The idea of the "end of history" was the ideology embedded in the United States due to being under the omnipresent eye of their capitalist overlords during the fall of the Soviet union. The United States deluded itself into believing that history was over what 9/11 was was an awakening from this phantasmagoria. 9/11 was the tipping point for the United States, imo from the heights of the 90s consumer culture to where we are today.

Sounds crazy, I know, but I think Xi-fans should at least consider the flaws of China's "Do nothing, win" strategy, and how it may paradoxically still lead to its undoing.

The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.

Porky has put a lot of effort since the Vietnam War to avoid making Amerikkkans feels the impacts of US wars of aggression to great success. Despite the amount of conflicts the US is involved in as we speak, anti-war sentiment is negligable. There was nothing like the anti-war movement during Vietnam, which by itself wasn't even strong enough to end the war either. It was the Vietnamese who militarily defeated the US that ended the war.

Amerikkkan reliance on proxies and mercs is the key to maintain the Empire. If they can make China's neighbours fight them in their stead, they they can win, and have East Asia plundered, like they have plundered Eastern Europe since the 90s, to give capitalism another 50 years.

China has failed to counter this problem completely, letting country after country on their borders fall into US hands in recent years. Once friendly countries turned into enemies.
China's rebranded 'socialism in one country' strategy isn't enough to resist US aggression. The US doen't need to do much to blockade Chinese shipping, and block all imports from entering the mainland. Going from "random" drone boats sent from US vallal states, to airstrikes and piracy conducted by US forces themselves, which they have been training for through the recent attacks on Russian and Venezuelan ships.
China can't retaliate against this adequately, due to their lack of bases or proxies of their own around Amerikkkan territory.

China's complete neglegt of this danger may be its downfall. For all their greatness, they cannot last against a neval blockade, land siege and hybrid warfare, the US has been preparing for.

This is why solidarity is so important. Supporting comrades in other countries isn't about kindness. It ensures you will not be attacked by brothers turned against you.

There is an interaction that sits in my head so deeply that I cannot shake it. Homeless, or just part of the block? Same shit, same class of person to the people running the business. To the people employed with protecting it.

Malcolm X shirt. He approaches me alone, in the parking lot. A few days before I had to tell other homeless people, or are they homeless? Do they live on the block? Don’t think so much. Outside of the fence? Homeless. Inside of the fence? Valid.

He came up to me and asked me what the space was all about, and I explained it as plainly as I could: I sell tacos, there’s a tea cafe inside, and the venue is used on the weekends for various punk events.

He gets into my face. Clearly to g-check me, to let me know that this is in fact his neighborhood, his block, and I am a guest. Fair enough, it’s, as Gucci Mane said, the truth. Safe space.

Something tells me in that moment that that rhetoric isn’t more meaningful than the opinions of the man in the Malcolm X hoodie. His Malcolm X shirt wasn’t an accident. It was a direct challenge to my position. It said: “You know what this is. I know what this is. Let’s not pretend.”

I’ve read Malcolm X. I get compared to Malcolm X. I am, by most metrics, a white dude. I am telling this man and people like him, regardless of the community pantry, regardless of what I stand for, that he is not welcome here, be it by body language or by spoken word.

In this moment, I knew that contradictions could never be resolved. If this man became a daily or twice-weekly user of our pantry? He’d be banned before he got a chance to know everyone, and that everyone? Suspicion the whole time.

How could I possibly sit in a minor position of power, only serving this business that claims to be this welcoming space, while telling this man he can’t be here, for what is ultimately the color of his skin and his perceived class position?

Could be useful. Author claims emails, passwords and DMs will be leaked at a later time but what is at hand now is already massive which includes EXIF GPS coordinates of user’s locations and photos that can be reverse searched to find socials and workplaces. An AFD politician was among the users.

Funniest thing about it: out of the 8000+ accounts on the site, only 44 of them were women, and a significant portion of those 44 women were chatbots set up by the hacker to collect information on the users. Only 4 women on the entire site chose to make their photos public and only 9 women were paying users which is required to send the first message.

The worker class would, all at once, break their chains. Just takes the right primer, the right base building built. Do enough mutual aid, build the right networks, show people the alternative and then, when the next chance at spontaneous action happens? It will be bright, flaming and burning hot with revolution. This has been my line of thought since those days on the streets of protest in the Summer of 2020. It is no longer my opinion. No longer the line I hold. It is utopianism.

What will bring about revolution will be small networks, numbering no more than 25 people per node, moving militantly with the purpose of revolution. It will be the singular revolutionary finding 2 to 5 people who align ideologically. It will be the pursuit of power that wins the class war. Lenin called it a Vanguard. So be it. Anyone who is legitimately moving within this world as if they are really a revolutionary, I mean a revolutionary suicide revolutionary, I mean a revolutionary who will not live to see the fruits of his or her labors, who is willing to die for the cause. Give me a dozen small groups of these people moving each day with the strictest, most principled determination to achieve revolution and we will win.

Did the serf really understand the civics behind monarchy? Did the average Russian peasant know the roots of the Bolsheviks? No. Did Mao go to the masses with the intention of educating them towards communism? No. He came to organize an army, with the promise that the life the communists could give the masses was far and beyond the life they lived now. That was enough. The French in Algeria did not give up power without violence; could you imagine thinking that those same French could be convinced of revolution given just a few more pamphlets, a few more zines, a few more YouTube videos? It is a farce. It is pointless debate.

If I am one person, with one life, with a limited amount of labor, resources and time to give to the cause, then it doesn’t benefit me nor the cause to take a 10-year federal penitentiary chance on doing actions that only seek to moralize the class war, that only seek to sway hearts and minds. No. It is with militant action. It is with uncompromisingly standing for what you believe in. Yes, mutual aid has a purpose, but that cannot be the ends, only the means. To be a revolutionary in the age of the surveillance state, of neoliberal “everyone can be their own business owner,” in the age of hyper-alienation, isPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
