>In practice, however, they generally produced less and faced shortages more frequently, only being surpassed by other countries where there was no even and post-Neolithic serfdom such as those in Africa, though they had modern technology (guns), they still used it for Neolithic purposes (Slavery).
This is what coombrainrot does to your noggin. Produced less lol. Clearly you did not do research. They produced A LOT, but sold it as exports.

> If production were guided solely by social needs, socialist countries should have surpassed capitalist countries in consumer goods and material abundance
They did and still do ? Socialist countries historically have performed better at industrialization and scientific sectors given their original starting point. The lack of material abundance in consumer goods is simply due to the absence of priority given to these goods and socialist countries opting to plan almost entirely for industrialization

>Civil wars featuring RS rebels tended to be robust insurgencies, that is, irregular wars that lasted longer and produced more battlefield fatalities compared to other civil wars. However, this superior capacity failed to translate into a higher rate of victories—hence, a “Marxist Paradox.”
That's cause the objetive of the revolutionary socialist is to radically transform society and abolish commodity production, wage labor and create a classless society, which is extremely difficult.

There' a reason every rich dipshit is a libertarian.

<You’ve got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists: they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn’t; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists.

bro what if trying to connect the fascisms together into one was a mistake. What if generic fascism doesnt exist? What if trying to make one generic fascism definition is doomed to failure and instead we should recognize the different fascsisms as seperate phenemona

You had jews in Palestine even before zionism. The Ari synagogue was founded in the 1500s for exemple.

You have a PFLP flag even though the PFLP's position is for a one-state solution in which Jews would be welcome as equal citizens with the same rights as others while rejecting Israel's insistence that their war against Israel is a racial war aiming at eliminating every Jewish citizen and throwing him into the sea.

JURY SYSTEM

To get inspiration, we start with a brief look at a very simple analytical model: There is a group of people trying to answer some question about reality by voting between two options, one true and one false. Each person in the group got more intelligence than zero, so their chance of picking the right option from the two is a bit better than 50 %. Assume the same percentage for each person, with no particular correlation between people. That’s the model. What follows from this? Three things:

1. The banal thing: The best approach to finding the truth here is to just go with the option that gets more votes, not requiring a super-majority or people voting for representatives who then vote.
   
2. The beautiful thing: We can get arbitrarily close to being correct 100 % of the time if the group is big enough. These two conclusions are known as Condorcet’s Jury theorem.
   
3. A tricky detail: If you have a group size that is odd and you just add one person, the probability that the group gets the right decision just stays where it is. So the group size should be odd.
   
   

When it comes to punishment, I’m thinking of something a bit more complicated than just two options. I think the topic fits into a one-dimensional spatial model. I think such a model fits because we can think of prison time as a quantity shown on a line, and everybody agrees what more or less means here. This agreement is necessary, but not sufficient for a really good fit. It is also necessary that people see themselves as standing on a point on that line. A counter-example: A parliament discusses different proposals for military spending and there might be consensus on how to order these plans from small to big, but the politicians may not all see themselves as standing on one point on that line, but rather with each foot on one end. On that issue, one may be of the opinion: “Go big or go home.”

If rights are not natural, how is it possible to violate them then?

And a much more important issue: One can always deliberately set themselves up with a normative framework that demands given rights be violated at least in given circumstances. You can shout "unnatural" or "evil" all you want and your opponent can simply "Yes. Fuck your rights."

I think to put my position more clearly. None of this shit, adventurism, militantism, whatever can ever succeed against the US military unless we had greater than 50% of the population on our side. And if we had that, there would be no need to go any other route other than "electoralism" (as Marx prescribed, don't make me post all the quotes, but I will)

it did kind of go better than planned because weirdly enough the japanese media and public sympathized with the assassin after hearing his story about a (korean) cult ruining his life. and as a result japan's government passed some new anti-cult laws. it probably ironically contributed to Takaichi becoming prime minister as the "korean cult" aspect fueled japanese nationalist anti-korean rhetoric in the country.

you're a fucking retard lol. even the bolsheviks and pla had like less than 10% of their respective countries on their side when the revolutions started.

to be clear I'm not advocating potd or adventurism for its own sake but rather if there was a will for americans to revolt the "military power gap" is not something that can't be addressed when it comes to it. insurgencies primarily rely on hand-made equipment and improvised weapons. even modern day insurgencies are mostly just farmers with pitchforks because believe it or not guns are only effective if your enemy lines up to get shot. if you're being surrounded on all sides in deep urban environments where enemies have endless corners to hide behind, bashing you over the head with a metal pipe is just as deadly as a bullet.

DOJ memo stokes fear among disability advocates of a return to institutionalization
Without the federal government requiring that states provide these services – to help disabled people integrate into their communities – advocates and legal experts warn that cash-strapped states could cut them and return to what was once common practice: de facto segregation of Americans with disabilities in nursing homes and large institutions.

Mamdani won New York opposing Israel. Now, his movement wants power in Congress.
Goldman, a former prosecutor who helped lead the first investigation and impeachment trial against President Donald Trump, and Lander, who cross-endorsed Mamdani when they were both seeking the mayoral nomination, are both Jews who call themselves “liberal Zionists.” … Further uptown, Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D), the influential Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair, is facing a similar line of criticism from Darializa Avila Chevalier, a doctoral student who participated in pro-Palestine encampment at Columbia University and who has slammed the congressman for taking money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

France’s Left Can't Abandon Workers to the Far Right Interview with Danièle Obono
In less than a year’s time, France will head to the polls to elect a new president. Two of the dominant figures in French politics over the past decade will not be on the ballot. President Emmanuel Macron is constitutionally barred from seeking a third consecutive term, while Marine Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National (RN; formerly Front National), has been barred from running following her embezzlement conviction. In her place, the RN’s thirty-year-old Party resident, Jordan Bardella, is leading polling in both the first and second rounds. The French left, however, remains divided. The relative success of the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP) — an electoral alliance bringing together much of the Left, in 2024, which emerged as the largest bloc in the National Assembly — has given way to growing tensions between its constituent parties, most notably Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Insoumise (LFI) and the Parti Socialiste (PS). In an interview, Thomas Glasman met with Danièle Obono, a France Insoumise parliamentarian for Paris and one of the party’s most prominent anti-racist and internationalist voices, who has served in the National Assembly since 2017. They discussed the fragmentation of the French left, the rise of racialized politics, and how to confront an increasingly powerful far right.

The Left Voted Tactically in Makerfield – and the Right Should Take Note
Nobody expected the scale of Andy Burnham’s victory in the Makerfield byelection this morning – including many of those around him. A week ago I was told that canvassing returns were looking strong for Labour in the Greater Manchester seat, giving the party as much as 50% of the vote. While I was certain Burnham could win – particularly after speaking to voters here – I still found that figure hard to believe. In the end Burnham won 55% of the vote, beating Reform UK’s Robert Kenyon by more than 9,000 votes. On the BBC shortly after the result, Mike Tapp, a prominent figure on the Labour right, was trying to play down the result, saying Burnham would have to call a general election in the event of becoming prime minister and deviating frPost too long.
