what the fuck kind of nonsense is that shit? like all the food and medicine and clothes and cars and electricity and appliances that we need just fall out of the sky while we move money around in a circle scamming each other and gambling on fairy stories? how did we get here? what the hell happened to our common sense, to our fucking sanity? it's not just the ruling class and the one percent who are like this, it's our whole culture, it's a whole world of delusional entitled narcissists who want something for nothing, from the us president who expects a billion dollars every time someone calls him an asshole, to the youtube influencer who expects a free iphone because he dances around in front of a webcam like a circus clown, to the freelance blogger who expects $10/month from every reader for his ai-assisted pseudointellectual drivel, to the typical small business owner who never even shows his face in the store and just hires teenagers and poor immigrants to run it for minimum wage while he collects passive income, to the "tech entrepeneur" who crowdsources free labor for his open-source software project and then sells it off to some big company at the first opportunity. whatever happens to us in the future when this ponzi scheme we call "civilization" collapses, we deserve every bit of it and then some. we deserve to have our faces under the boot for all eternity for this shit.

they do (a huge chunk of consultancies have massive numbers of workers in india etc), but people just cascade into more service jobs. that's the beauty of services. human wants are nearly infinite.

>>2891929
>How is manufacturing being replaced by services at all a good thing?
it is neither good nor bad. the operative question is who owns the means of production. service work like the anon said does not mean there is no industry anywhere but being that we are necessarily in a post industrial society in the US, it is necessarily the case that the manufacturing mostly occurs elsewhere, in other countries, that in this country, manufacturing is like an amoeba, relative to service sector work
>There has never been a revolution led by service workers, it was industrial workers and peasants
before the russian revolution, workers had never ever taken power and established a workers state. before the russian revolution, peasants had never been a revolutionary force for a socialist revolution.

>>2901903
While you're on the right track, even this overstates the case. For all the rust-belt whining the US is still the second largest industrial economy after China in terms of both production and exports. Even for relatively low value-added stuff like steel, it's the third largest producer in the world. It's 6th for coal (behind Australia, Russia, Indonesia, India, and China.) but the largest producer of petroleum and natural gas. And it's the largest agricultural exporter in the world to boot. (Third largest producer overall, behind India and China, which have 3-4 times as many mouths to feed.)

Fundamentally the big shift has been mechanisation rather than outsourcing. The massive decline of the agricultural workforce wasn't paired with a collapse in food production, and the massive decline in the manufacturing workforce hasn't been paired with a massive decline in manufacturing output. It really is just a fetish object to imagine the thing standing between the average American prole and his due is the decision to outsource screwing the heads onto Barbie dolls to China, as though he'd be next in line for that job instead of a machine if it was brought stateside.

>Whether or not you find it more commonly in said ethnic groups is the point you should have tried to make, but even then, it's not safe to say it's the reason "Africans do sport good", and doesn't then lead to the greater jump of arguing cognitive differences because it sounds like a nice "just so" story.
My point is that when genes that relate to a general higher improved performance among black people, are discovered, they are loudly and proudly shouted about, but somehow magically, there is no difference between human ethnicities despite gene distribution being noticeably different.
>and doesn't then lead to the greater jump of arguing cognitive differences because it sounds like a nice "just so" story.
Again, the point I will always make, humans are animals, there have been human ethnicities literally isolated for tens of thousands of years, there is no logical reason why intelligence or behaviour would not be affected by different genes and hormone distribution like they are in literally every other species of animal. But of course, you, like most Geneticists, rely on anthropocentrism as cope.
I accept 19th century race science is bullshit, I even accept the concept of large bloc races being bullshit, but I do there there are genuinely differences both physically and behaviourally, at a general level, between ethnicities even if those differences may be small or varied within the population itself.

Historically the available information about race and overall public opinion meant that racist ideologies were led by intellectuals. Many of them developed complex systems to exploit non-whites. This is known as "scientific racism".

But this has all changed in the modern day. Deep research and studies have shown that racism isn't scientifically justified. Racists statistically have a less developed brain than normal, which causes them to base their judgement on prejudice. And people who are like this aren't capable of deep thinking skills and approach the complex problems of our economy with the right solutions.

Anti-racism is in the hands of the intellectuals. Even non-nationalist rightists, such as Javier Milei, seem somewhat more competent than the nationalist ones.

Groypers to me are just edgy idiots. I don't think that whatever retard they'll vote for will actually fix America. They'll just pull back their tail like they did with Trump after seeing it fail again.

I want them to vote for the next idiot and see them fail.

Groypers aren't just racists, but are specifically tradcath nationalists, whose raison d'etre was to oppose the cuckservatism of Charlie Kirk. They are lead by Nick Fuentes, who now promotes the Democrats.

What if you are intellectually racist?

Yeah, so. This BTFO any argument against the infeasibility of planned economies.

tl;dr: Google has created an AI that readily trains specialized AI models that act as data scientists who collect data in an eclectic manner to make predictions for a wide array of real world use cases that are on a large scale, such as predicitng the spread of disease in a country or estimating which regions are at risk of food insecurity. Their AI has produced the best results so far in terms of making reliable predictions ranging from 60-90% depending on the subject. We can only go up from here.

Planning an economy and all social affairs relevant to it is not just theoretically feasible but Google themselves have released an AI that could plausibly do it, even if they haven't explicity stated that.

I know that a lot of you will say that we (socialists) already knew this, but there is something funny about capitalism itself revealing it while also being blind to it. What will their cope be if you pointed this out?

Planetary prediction engine: Automating global models via Earth AI
https://research.google/blog/planetary-prediction-engine-automating-global-models-via-earth-ai/

<Google's paper introduces the Planetary Prediction Engine (PPE), an autonomous AI system designed to build high-accuracy geospatial predictive models from plain-English requests.


<Traditionally, predicting real-world global events—such as tracking a disease outbreak, forecasting local food shortages, or mapping environmental changes—requires months of tedious work by specialized teams. Data scientists have to manually find datasets, clean satellite imagery, merge census data, eliminate bias, and code customized machine learning models.

knowing these papers and how they tune their numbers this model can be replaced by tossing a coin.

The problem with planned economies was never their feasibility, that was propaganda. The problem is that it doesn't benefit capitalists enough. Sure China has billionaires but not to the extent of the US, and they can be disappeared at any time if they act against the public interest. Western billionaires want to be the protagonists of reality and immune to any form of consequences for their evil acts.

What >>2905148 said, The Revolution was always doomed to be taken over by a man like Stalin. None of the soft ideological Old Bolsheviks would have had much chance of surviving. Ironically, Stalin may have been one of the less reactionary options compared with the scores of Red Army officers who could potentially have seized power.
In such a violent period, only a particularly ruthless type of man could realistically take power. retards bring up Sverdlov and Trotsky, but I don't think either of them had a chance in hell. Given the way the USSR functioned, it seems to me that someone like Stalin or a military figure like Brezhnev was far more likely to emerge victorious than any of the old Bolsheviks.

Joseph Stalin is the most reviled opponent of the liberal bourgeoisie. No one causes more lib seethe than Stalin. The man was also firmly socially conservative and anti-cosmopolitan. And most importantly, he won the fucking war and died on old man at the height of his power, and the Soviet empire he built survived for decades afterwards.

So why is the online right still in love with a miserable loser like Hitler? Why are chinlet shooters and insecure browns still chanting "Hitler was right" instead of embracing the chad superiority of Stalin? Are they just stupid?

Hello I'm new to this whole thing. I understand that proles are supposed to work together to overthrow capital but how is that possible when so many proles are retarded cattle? What do you do with proles who love the bourgeoisie like hardcore elon musk/trump fans. What about blue collar guys that blame everything on immigrants and love capitalism. What about military veterans who actively aided the capitalists and have zero regrets. What do we do with all those people? There's too many to just kill them all and the idea that "education" will suddenly change them seems idealist. I don't see how those guys would be compatible with revolution, what's their role in this?

proles don't exist
proles are an abstraction, an economic class

ganing class consciousness doesn't mean to "realize that the capitalist is ripping you off personally", you start acting on behalf of this universal subjectivity

class is not an essence or mere condition of being a wage worker, it's a kind of subjectivity that has to be developed

>if a socialist revolution happened
What materially causes the revolution to happen? When does the contradiction become so acute that a unified revolt becomes more viable than a continuation of the current regime? Also, define what you mean by socialism. Is it AES like the USSR or China that practiced social imperialism and unequal exchange? Please answer without idealism.
>almost all of them would go along with it
Why would they go along with it? A true global socialist revolution would inevitably involve the imperial core having to give up its relative privilege over Earth's natural resources, as the imperial core's material consumption cannot be universalized. Most people, including ostensible class conscious socialists, would resist surrendering that privilege as it would feel like downward mobility.

I am of a strong belief that most contemporary “theory” “writers”, convey relatively simple ideas in more and more words, there is so much insanity that can be possesed in a statement, so much shock you can pack into another bullshit essay. Post-modernist, post-marxist, post-structualist, post-rational, post-post-post-post-post, post post blah blah blah it all becomes a meaningless babble. I don’t give a shit, kill yourself.

All this, combined with a history of failure to stand up against injustice and explotation of this world, it creates a feedback loop where more and more layers of ‘post’ are being added to something, more new words are being invented, and more old words are being used in different, “wrong” ways. This results in works that are at best a very advanced schizopost, and at best some broader psyop.

It all becomes obnoxious, everyone knows it is obnoxious, and even pointing it out is counter-productive.

Every sincere expression of a revolutionary zeal both rightfully and wrongfully is percived as naive, as real possible change is drifting away to the realm of history.
It makes everything seem like theater, a way to fulfill your need to feel good about yourself and the world, all while the subconcious truly fights against that.

The paradox of it is that, this very critique (and possible critique of it), creates so many layers of meta-meta-meta-meta-meta-meta answers and questions, one could say this sort of “realism” is a immunization of capitalism, but so does that very statement and even whatever I am doing right now, and whatever you could say about it. It is an unwinnable situation.

The performance can be both something good, it can be art, it is also quite literally the only way to state something, an opinion in modern times without the pretense would not be an opinion, in most cases it would be a punch to a face of the other people in discussion. We are simply trapped in it. Even every single asshole which claims to point it out (including me, being just one meta layer above) like Mark Fischer and co. fuels the same thing, repeats the same patterns, and plays social games with language. Talking about talking about capitalism. And what I am doing is talking about talking about talking about capitalism. Every layer repeates the mistakes of the last one.

I don’t want to claim a solution, or know enough about what truly causes it or how it can be resolved.

self-editing is an important and essential skill for being an effective writer, or any other form of communication for that matter, and to be able to edit yourself you have to have a sense of self-awareness as well as a sense of your audience. in other words, you can't be a narcissistic asshole who thinks that every turd that comes out of your asshole is a nugget of solid gold. to convey a complex idea in very direct and clear and concise language is a highly underrated skill, particularly among the upper-class intellectual elite. consider a phrase like "shit happens" - elitist snobs dismiss this as crude vulgar lower-class gutter language, but in just two words it manages to perfectly convey what philosophy and political science and quantum physics majors write entire 50,000 word theses on every day.

An Invasive Mosquito Is Spreading With Alarming Speed, Threatening Africa’s Cities

An invasive, malaria-carrying, insecticide-resistant mosquito that thrives in cities, where malaria has not been a major threat, has moved farther and faster across Africa than even pessimistic scientists had feared. And many public health experts believe it is too late to eliminate, or even contain, it.
A new genomic analysis of the mosquito, called Anopheles stephensi, using specimens collected from 10 countries, showed that those found in Africa had genetic resistance to all of the chemicals currently used in spraying campaigns and other mosquito-control efforts, meaning those insecticides will not kill it.

Before stephensi arrived in 2013, Djibouti was on the cusp of declaring malaria eradicated. In 2012, there were just 27 cases. A year after stephensi was found, cases shot up to nearly 1,700. Each year thereafter, the number crept up, and in 2020, there was an explosion: more than 70,000 cases.
The spread of stephensi is yet another setback in an already sputtering battle with mosquitoes in Africa. In 2024, there were nine million more malaria cases than in 2023. While the full 2025 data is not available yet, and will be less comprehensive due to health program funding cuts, there are clear signs that malaria is resurgent.

COSATU's ANC support faces test as SACP eyes 2026 local elections

Vidrel: National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union (NEHAWU) has resolved to support the South African Communist Party
NEHAWU has resolved to support the South African Communist Party as it prepares to contest the 2026 Local Government Elections independently. The decision, solidified during NEHAWU's 13th National Congress, marks a massive fracture in the labour movement's traditional "vote ANC" stance. Nehawu's new president Nyameka Macanda says they believe the SACP is the vanguard of the working class.

Conference of the Left signals realignment in South African politics
While ideological differences among participating organisations remain substantial — particularly on questions of nationalism, socialism, Pan-Africanism, electoral strategy and the role of the state — the conference nevertheless signals a growing recognition that fragmentation on the left has strengthened neoliberal and centrist forces.
The possibility of tactical cooperation among left-leaning organisations could therefore herald the emergence of a new political bloc capable of reshaping opposition politics in South Africa.

For the ANC and the DA, such a development would pose a serious challenge. The ANC risks losing even more of its traditional working-class support base, while the DA could become increasingly identified with defending the status quo within the GNU.
Should a coherent left alternative emerge, it could fundamentally alter the ideological terrain of South African politics in the years ahead.

Whether the Conference of the Left becomes a genuine vehicle for left unity or remains merely another symbolic gathering will depend on its ability to move beyond rhetoric and achieve organisational coherence, ideological clarity and effective mass mobilisation.

Attempted Coup: Niger junta still in control, but situation remains tense

<The situation in Niger Republic remains fluid after a mutiny was thwarted by national security forces in collaboration with Russian-linked Africa Corps


https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/906327-attempted-coup-niger-junta-still-in-control-but-situation-remains-tense.html

>On Saturday, Niger Republic came under an attack by mutineers who attempted to seize power from the junta led by Abdourahamane Tchiani. After fighting that lasted for hours, Mr Tchiani’s government still remains in power.


>The mutinous soldiers took the regime by surprise, besieging and holding sway over the Diori Hamani International Airport and Air Base 101. They also attempted to breach the fortified perimeter of the presidential palace. The attack briefly disrupted the state television and radio broadcasts.


>Footage seen by our reporter showed armed soldiers, tactical armoured vehicles and troops securing the streets of Niamey. The mutineers seized control of Air Base 101, the paratroopers’ camp and other positions near the international airport.


>The mutineers released a statement from the air base, announcing that Mr Tchiani was no longer the head of state. The statement, signed under the name of Armed Forces for the Restoration of the Fatherland, also announced the dissolution of the constitution, border closure and restriction of movement.


>While the fighting continued, it was reported that the head of the junta requested the intervention of Africa Corps, a Russian-backed mercenary group which has entrenched itself in Sahelian states led by military rulers.
