Trump, Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and Justice Department are trying to lower the threshold for executions, and also expand firing squards to "reduce prison overcrowding".
I think this is officially the start of a genocide.

>The announcement was the latest in a series of moves President Donald Trump’s administration has taken demonstrating support for the death penalty. Trump has long been an avid supporter of capital punishment, and during his first term, the Justice Department carried out its first federal executions in nearly two decades.


>Since Trump’s return to the White House last year, his administration has lifted a moratorium on federal executions and pushed for more death sentences. Trump and other officials have also repeatedly castigated President Joe Biden for commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row shortly before he left office.


>In a bold and controversial move, William K. Marshall III, the newly appointed Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), has proposed significant reforms aimed at addressing the pressing issue of prison overcrowding. Since his swearing-in on April 21, 2025, Marshall has advocated for a major lowering of the threshold for capital punishment and the expansion of firing squad executions.

>Marshall, who oversees approximately 156,000 federal inmates and 36,000 staff members across 122 BOP facilities, is no stranger to the complexities of law enforcement. His extensive career began with the West Virginia State Police, where he was lauded as the 1995 National Association of Police Organizations West Virginia Police Officer of the Year. Following his retirement in 2017 after 25 years of service, Marshall's leadership roles in corrections have uniquely positioned him to address issues plaguing the prison system.
>In a recent interview on NBC’s "Meet the Press," Marshall stated, "We need to reevaluate our approach to capital punishment and consider options that reflect the realities of our overcrowded prisons. By lowering the execution threshold and expanding firing squad executions, we can not only deter crime but also bring a sense of closure to the families of victims." He expressed a belief that the current process is often drawn out and unnecessarily complicated, contributing to the burden on Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I thought one of the funnier things about the French Revolution was how every group accused the others of being traitors and secretly working with foreign governments. Many such cases.

I think it’s interesting to observe the pattern of technological development in Africa compared to NATO. A lot of what’s being made there is surprisingly specific, pragmatic, and efficient compared to many new western technologies that often serve as solutions to problems western companies make.

Technologies built around mobile systems; efficient use of clay, cement, and steel metals; decentralized utility and logistics systems; a lot of work related to solar power which im happy for; some oddly specific technological developments surrounding armoured cars, surveillance, and border security etc.

From what I infer a lot of this behaviour is driven organically by the geographic conditions of the continent in general. Many of the resources on the continent are stretched across vast distances, sparse/scarce in supplies, and broken up by unusually poor terrain. This often means that any technological developments made are unusually way more specific, pragmatic, and efficient in use for immediate and existing problems compared to tech made outside of it where figures or promises on features surrounding what the tech can do. Sometimes, this does *alot* to change how people approach life. It’s only recently that a lot of changes were made so that desert sands and earth could be used conventionally at scale to produce modular construction kit—this is huge on construction in general since it offers a way to build on the scale that china did *without causing the same level of ecological destruction*.



 

Hice un ensayo para un concurso, como casi no sé ni lo que es un ensayo quiero que me digan que tal está. Soy muy joven asique disculpen si está mal redactado, aparte de que no he leído mucho. Espero que les guste

Tienes ganas de aprender, pero la forma de redactar se siente informal, tampoco tiene bibliografía ni trata de explicar la economía en detalle. ¿Qué edad tienes? Sin ofender, pero parece una redacción escrita por un chaval en bachillerato.

Y otra cosa, en este board solo se permite el inglés, así que probablemente tirarán este hilo. Si quieres discutir con otros hispanohablantes, usa /latam/ mejor. Pero me alegro de encontrar a otro español aquí

You have to cite each fact. Not just throw it at the end in bibliography. Also, a good intellectual excercise would be to challenge your ideas. With your knowledge about political economy, marxism and the history of the UUSR you could make a critique of the USSR and the decissions it took.

It is a ticking time bomb because Putin is beginning to do arrests of communists including KPRF members and as >>2827755 align more with the LDPR to counter them. It is going to backfire because it shows the Communists are getting persecuted for things the workers want and will increasingly radicalized the populous. It is why they are attempting to rehabilitate Stalin but even Lenin is seeing skyrocketing rise in his approvals as well. Putin is between a rock and a hard place on what the next move is to please the national bourgeois and not have October 2.0 happen

Part of being a Russian leader is keeping Russians poor. It keeps them on their toes.

Why is this dude in power in the first place? And why hasnt the military or national bourgeoisie overthrown him already?

the cucktin narrative may mislead you to believe he is not useful to the national bourgeoisie, but the concentration of wealth in the russian economy is proceeding well so they have no reason to mind him

They weren't "hardliners". They were Gorbachev's own handpicked men. And there are theories, that Gorbachev himself was behind it, and others, that Kryuchkov [the main ring leader] had a secret deal with Yeltsin.

The referendum was to update the USSR in a new union of independent and free republics, not to keep the USSR as it was

I am unable to remember the exact place i discovered this but its pretty obvious from just class warfare in general.

At some point we are probably gonna see Luddite riots and bombings against ai development, we are already partially seeing it.
What is the material reasons for this and can anybody find an example?

But if clerical tasks are already accomplished by smaller local models, is there really a point to the data centers? Tangentially, I think massive investment deposited into centralized data centers is halting development of AI elsewhere e.g. local inference models, so even if someone concludes that LLMs are productive you steal need to account for the particular mode of "compute distribution" being a productive net loss

>and they blame technology, not capitalism
oh no, the original luddites absolutely blamed the social relations that led to their livelihood being destroyed by the tech more than the tech itself, but its way easier to destroy a machine than the socio-economic system you're in, and so they destroyed the machines to extract concessions



 

Is it fair to say that most of the culture wars that take place in American politics are merely fights between the petite-bourgeoisie (small business owners) and the PMC?

The ruling class doesn't seem to care about the cultural bullshit since they're not really affected by it. Likewise, the working-class doesn't care about cultural issues all that much either and really only cares about short-term economic stuff like the price of gas. Many of the conservative cultural attributes that are thrown on to the working-class are actually the traits of the petit-bourg (being anti-abortion and anti-queer, for instance).

Right now, in the era of social media, it seems like culture wars and "symbolic crusades" are at an all-time high. Interestingly though, much unlike the culture wars of the 80s-2000s which were lead by the right, these contemporary culture wars seem to be mostly lead by snarky white liberals who overwhelmingly make up the PMC. Take, for instance, something like the backlash against Olivia Rodrigo's babydoll dress: for decades liberals pushed "choice feminism" and told people to stop attacking what women wear, yet now seem very concerned about what women wear. Olivia's dress is an issue for them because they associate it with pedophillia, which of course they link to Trump and Epstein (never mind the fact Olivia is a proud liberal herself who works with Planned Parenthood and pro-Palestine organizations). On an almost identical note, multiple liberal women have raised hysteria over big retail chains like Target and Nordstrom selling milkmaid dresses, calling it "tradwife coded" and saying it's indicative that women's civil rights will be taken away. Obviously, this is bullshit. How could something as petty as a milkmaid dress destroy the decades of feminist struggles in America? We also see this very clearly with the "clean girl" aesthetic being demonized as right-wing or "eugenics-coded" with the heavy makeup/blue eyeshadow look being championed for being (allegedly) progressive. For a leftist, all of these things are simply a case of consumer identity vs. consumer identity.

But that's not the point. The real issue in these contemporary examples is that snarky liberal white women fear the decline of their social and cultural status. Jill from Manhattan is mad that Fynnleigh the Mormon tradwife has more TikTok followers than her, even though what Fynnleigh does in her home in Utah has no effect whatsoever on Jill.

How does this analysis square with the fact that even university educated types in Europe are increasingly voting far-right after enough contact with problematic immigrants from Africa and Middle-East? The same people who used to vote for centre-left and centre-right parties are switching to populist right and far right by the millions.

>>2827274
  1. Because there are many factors at play: there are some educated people with no taste, for example.
  2. Centrist parties have generally been incompetent and self-destructive
  3. The center right also tends to appeal to uneducated types. 58% of Germans with only "basic education" voted CSU (32) or AFD (26) vs 40 with higher education (27 CSU, 13 AFD), and I chose Germany at random as an unsympathetic example. (The UK is a total victory for this theory)

Very interesting video.

No idea why comrades think it’s worth it to get involved so heavily in petty cultural bullshit.

The superstructure reflects the material base. The trouble is that people don't get into the underlying material factors driving culture.

IMO contemporary politics have largely been driven by the slow proletarianization of white-collar jobs which is increasingly putting the cultural hegemony of capitalists into crisis. The reactionary shift is a temporary measure as reformism has ceased to satisfy the masses.

Why are Eastern Bloc countries so inundated with retarded faggot gaylord parties that go around saying they're "Economically Left-Wing but Socially Right-Wing" or whatever? Western Europe doesn't do this, they have normal bourgeoisie political parties that reject syncretist nonsense. What the fuck are they doing over there? Can they just be normal and stop trying to be le unique and different? Why don't they just kill themselves?

Actual Communism when practised always turns into Third Positonism/National Socialism. Western Commies will never succeed in anything except aiding the social liberal parties to stay in power in their countries and aiding the judeocapitalist banker class in replacing the native worker who demands basic worker rights with third world migrants that can work for 12hours a day for 2 dollars and not complain.

>>2821416
>nd contextualized, are peasant revolutions. Rather than asking why rural folks support socialists in the East, the real question is why the rural regions support the right in the West. Once socialists in the west can answer that question and figure out a way to appeal to rural people in the West, they will be abl

Because the Western Left has taken the side of third world lubenproletariat απεργοσπάστες instead of the native workers, who they decry for being "colonzers" (even though their ancestors worked in coals mines during the colonial era),racist or bougie when they ask uncomfortable questions.
Their Fanatical Support for F@ggotry, Tranvestites and other sexual perv activity is also a major reason.
I am a full on nazi from Greece, but I might hypothetically honestly join the KKE if they changed their view on migration and if they where (a bit) more Christian.

>>2821416
Easy. Those weren't communists revolutions. They were liberal revolutions that produced industrial societies. Rural people in the West support the Right cause they are 12 people that own land and immigrant slaves.
