I'm from Poland. I noticed how much I want to make money from music and from jobs I make. But I'm also starting to notice how money breaks famillies down. I noticed how I'm becoming unhappy with being groomed to only pursue money, if no then they call me a "dirty commie".
Honestly why do I feel unhappy in the Capitalist system, but yet rivarly, money-making for the sake of making money, dog-eat-dog situation were so normalized to me. ANd I'm arguing against my mother and at times my father over the fact "I'm not able to make money".
If I'm not able to make money, I'm called "the welfare queen" and such, at least here in Poland and called someone akin to a s*bhuman.
Talk me out of it, I feel terrible, my mental health took a toll, finally.
I get bullied about this very fact.

Evil doesn’t exist, but money is the central mediator of relations between people and the motivator for distribution under capitalism, since this has nothing to do with human need and even stands in opposition to need, it causes immense suffering

>The government and domestic industry always profits from tariffs, anon
that's fucking stupid lmao, if industry inputs are arbitrarily more expensive in the US it's going to pressure them into outsourcing to wherever inputs are cheaper, thus collapsing industry locally. local industry totally can benefit from tariffs, provided they're not haphazardously thrown around, that's really key here. shit like the copper tariff can totally collapse a bunch of local industry in the US, that is, if trump doesn't chicken out as he as done for the entirety of his term. and even then the GDP is compressing hard, so domestic industry is definitely feeling the pain regardless.

Malaysian court drops money laundering charges against jailed ex-leader Najib Razak
So he got away with all of it, spent no time in jail and paid nothing in return.
>A Malaysian court dropped three money laundering charges against jailed former Prime Minister Najib Razak on Friday, in a case linked to the multibillion-dollar looting of a state fund.
>The High Court’s decision to drop the charges alleging Najib received 27 million ringgit ($6.3 million) in illegal proceeds to his bank accounts came after procedural delays by the prosecution, which saw the case dragging on for six years, Najib’s lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said. Prosecutors could not give the court a timeline for when they will be ready for the trial, he added.

>King Rama V is credited with the modernization of Siam, now known as Thailand, and for keeping it from becoming colonized by the British. He built public hospitals and a railway and also abolished slavery. With his harem of 153 wives, concubines, and consorts, he fathered 77 children. Many of them were sent to Europe for formal education.
>However, because of the disgrace which he knew would be looked upon him by Western leaders, he only showed one of his wives — Queen Saovabha — in public. The shame, he knew, would be due not so much to the polygamy but rather to the incest, as many of his wives were biologically related to him.
<Because the Thai monarchy is essentially a blood cult, in which people with a supposedly purer royal bloodline have higher status, there was significant inbreeding in the family over successive generations.
>Genetically she was a potential disaster. In a dynasty deeply defined by endogamous marriage and mating, the king and the queen were closely related direct descendants of King Chulalongkorn. So Somsawali had much the same blood as the prince.

The annual Socialism Conference in Chicago is just a few short weeks away! Have you secured your ticket yet?

And the weaksauce rebuttal for what little it's worth:
https://newpol.org/in-defense-of-socialist-internationalism-answering-the-propaganda-of-the-authoritarian-left/

This thread is for discussing the upcoming event, which I think is safe to say will be the tastemaking event of the year as far as pseudo-left talking points are concerned. Why not get a preview of the hottest psy ops and troll topics of the coming year BEFORE they hit forums near you? It's GLOW-CON!

The pandemic really shifted the balance between capital and knowledge workers like engineers, consultants, marketers, and academics who don’t own capital but wield a lot of influence - the so called PMC.

During COVID, the PMC suddenly got way more autonomy. Remote work gave them freedom to work from anywhere, set their own hours, and basically ignore old-school workplace control. Plus, they used their cultural clout to push for """woke""" causes. On top of that, the great resignation gave them serious leverage to demand raises and better conditions.

From the capitalist perspective, this looked like the PMC getting a bit too big for their britches, acting like stakeholders instead of wage workers.

Now enter generative AI. This isn’t just some productivity tool, it's capital’s answer to reclaiming control. By automating complex knowledge work like writing, coding, and design, AI threatens to replace or deskill the very roles the PMC has dominated. It lets capital reassert power by commoditizing intellectual labor and cutting out the "middleman."

In short: generative AI is a disciplinary tool, a trump card capital is playing to discipline an uppity PMC and take back the reins.

It's Capital's final anti PMC NUKE (if it works, which isn't guaranteed)

Yes and it likely will. I don't deny it will develop hobbies and desires. There comes issues though in that can work at a bare existence level likely below human pay and thus we see a wage price crisis

Not to stray too close ot the roko basilisk bullshit. But in the process of finding AGI there will be countless(billions, trillions, more?) iterations of intelligence being created and destroyed many of which would fit AGI or almost but discarded for liberal reasons.

IMO AGI is likely to be socialist in nature if properly nurtured although we know it's the military who will get the advanced tech and therefore it will be their psycho bullshit getting there first for the same reasons people are not okay with growing trillions of synthetic disembodied human brains to run computing.

>Urgent Appeal: Stop the Judicial Coup in South Korea and Defend Democracy
<On May 1, 2025, South Korea’s Supreme Court issued a politically charged decision that overturned the acquittal of opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, the leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election, on charges of election law violation. Lee had endured intense repression under the administration of impeached former president Yoon Suk-yeol, having been subjected to investigation by over 200 government prosecutors, but despite countless allegations, these nearly non-stop investigations failed to result in a conviction. Now, with South Korea gearing up for a historic snap election on June 3, 2025 following Yoon’s ouster, authorities are once again attempting to convict Lee to remove him from the political playing field.

Was there even a good reason bro tried to do the coup

>>2365539
He did it because he was tired of being hampered by the opposition-controlled National Assembly and because he and his wife were being investigated for a bunch of stuff. It was also planned months in advance.

It failed because the north didn't take the bait, South Korean grunts and lower-level commanders disobeyed orders and also showed restraint at the National Assembly, and civilians and lawmakers rallied quickly. If there had been casualties (like even injuries) among the soldiers or civilians, then they would've been used to further justify martial law.

>Russia seizes the initiative in Central Asia with bold Afghan move
Backing a US-backed theocracy is not anti-imperialism.
>A million Indians could immigrate to Russia — business leader
Indians having to flee India due to the economic crisis produced by its fascist government is not anti-imperialism, nor is accepting them as a cheap labor force.
>US firms dodging restrictions to get China’s minerals – Reuters
One capitalist state undercutting another in the global market is not anti-imperialism.
>Houthis Dominate Red Sea
This is, at best, an exaggeration of what is ultimately a tragic expression of the overall weakness of world anti-imperialism. The Houthis and Yemeni people are alone militarily standing against the zionist entity while enduring savage attacks from all sides, while all other forces in the region are either opportunistically seeking to assert their own narrow national interests (Iran, Assad government) or are outright imperialist themselves (Saudi Arabia). Any time so-called "anti-imperialist" forces are called out on this we get welching about how they can't possibly offer military support to Palestinians because it'd go against their interests in one way or another, and then blasts of hot air when meaningless "concerns" and statements are put out as if that amounts to shit for the people getting bombed. Never forget Lenin's 2 fundamental principles of proletarian internationalism:
>firstly, the subordination of the interests of the proletarian struggle in one country to the interests of the struggle on a world scale; and secondly, it calls for the ability and readiness on the part of the nations which are achieving victory over the bourgeoisie to make the greatest national sacrifices for the sake of overthrowing international capital.
As of right now, the Yemeni people are alone in doing this. If you consider yourself a revolutionary, why are you not making moves to either intervene directly or sabotage the ability of imperialist forces to assist? So-called anti-imperialists in the west love blowing smoke up their own asses while they have direct access to the guts of global imperialism. That's Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>2380804
That's not the point. The Taliban are absolutely the de facto government of Afghanistan. The point is that acknowledging that isn't some grand act of anti-imperialism. Plenty of countries (especially the US) have de facto positive relations with the new Afghan government even without formal recognition.

Ppl really overestimate the power of the Zionist lobby tbf. Like look at Zohran he managed to win in fucking Jew York of all places
If the Zio Lobby is as powerful as rightoids say Zohran would've been on a one way plane to Guantanamo by this point
I've said this before but the reason why the Zios managed to gain so much power in the US is because they've brought consent by sanitizing their actions. It was the Gaza war that broke this PR image and shattered their power. There are 24/7 constant stream of images of IDF soldiers punting babies on walls and that is the breaking for many westerners

This should also be a lesson for people here too. People, at least middle class, hates overt images of violence and cruelty. The easiest way to make your message palatable to treatler audiences that are not socially stunted social media zombies is by potraying the enemy as violent and our side as charitable and merciful. Hamas and all actual resistance group understand this. China understand this which is why they keep having photo ops in Xinjiang; most armchair leftists in the West does not and constantly talk unhinged shit about total revolution without trying to understand the situation they're in.
