the combined share of global gdp by the US and EU fell by almost half since 2005 and continues to decline
Many relatively underdeveloped thirdie nations are taking an increasingly dominant positions in the global economy and trade and continue to rise, While former juggernauts like the UK and Japan are stagnating, Less western-subjugated governments popping up everywhere, Even in Africa many impoverished nations will be solidly middle income in a generation if their current economic growth rate continues into the future, Less warfare than before on the continet in general.

The global north watching their importance in the world stage diminish and ability to control other more impoverished nations……How do you think their governemnts are going to react?

More nakedly imperialistic and unjustifiably aggressive policies?
Are such reasons tied to some recent US actions e.g. Iran and Venezuela?

Sweatshops are a skill issue for poorfag countries and not an inherent nature of capitalism. The entire world can become developed first world and capitalism can still survive. You can run the Japan playbook forever.

will there be less immigrants and third world brain drain if global south becomes first world?

I think I finally know Trumps ideology and its called Neo-Bonapartism

Bonapartism describes a state that achieves relative autonomy from any single class by claiming to stand above class conflict entirely ruling personalistically through plebiscitary mass appeal and charismatic authority rather than through a party program or a coherent class coalition, while materially serving capital's interests without capital directly controlling the state apparatus. Bonaparte's actual regime combined: personalist rule bypassing parliamentary/institutional mediation, appeals to a cross-class "people" against both organized labor and the traditional elite, military prestige projects and adventurism as legitimation (the whole Second Empire foreign policy pattern), and state-directed economic development (Haussmann's Paris, railway financing) alongside crushing independent labor organization. That's close to a checklist match for Trump: personalist rule, state economic direction, military/security emphasis as legitimating spectacle, hostility to organized labor and the left, appeal over the heads of institutions to a plebiscitary mass base.

Bonapartism in the Marxist tradition is specifically theorized as arising when class conflict reaches a stalemate where no single class can rule directly, so an autonomous executive arbitrates from above, critically, without needing to make durable concessions to labor the way a genuinely hegemonic class-coalition government would. Gramsci's extension of the concept (he uses “Caesarism” interchangeably) is explicitly about a strong personalist arbiter stepping in during a legitimacy crisis of the ordinary political process, offering national/military grandeur and personal charisma as substitutes for programmatic concession. That's the theoretical explanation for exactly why Trumpism is anti social welfare while pro military spending Bonapartist/Caesarist rule doesn't need to buy off labor, because it's explicitly a crisis arbitration form that draws its legitimacy from personal charisma and national mythology rather than from a stable coalition requiring material payoffs.

So: Bonapartism (Marx's term) or Caesarism (Gramsci's near-synonym) is the actual name for 19th-century style personalist strongman, holistic state-directed military-industrial policy, minimal welfare concession, legitimated by charisma and national grandeur rather than institution-building or class-coalition bargaining.

<This Bonaparte, who constitutes himself chief of the lumpenproletariat, who here alone rediscovers in mass form the interests which he personally pursues, who recognizes in this scum, offal, refuse of all classes the only class upon which he can base himself unconditionally, is the real Bonaparte, the Bonaparte sans phrase.

>materially serving capital's interests without capital directly controlling the state apparatus

trump's government is a subset of USA capitalists controlling the state as directly as can be (the coalition of big finance and big tech), it doesnt have any autonomy or entity of his own. It also cant be an example of state economic direction, or at least not to any relevant extent. The mass base is just about lost now, his only support is the bourguie coalition i mentioned and its foreign allies.

I understand communism okay maybe I understand the appeal, a society organized differently than the current capitalist might be at the very least interesting to take a look at, the only thing I don’t understand and I have been lurking here and other leftist spaces for a long time now mind you is why are commodities bad?

Scarcity isn’t a state of the productive forces but a product of social relationships. Exchanges create scarcity, not the inverse.

>In capitalism, goods are produced for the purpose of being sold to make a profit
Don't they make a profit because they fulfill the desires and necessities of society?

>>2879110
That would be the commodity's use value, its real or imagined qualitative aspect, which is an inherent feature of it. They are produced for profit, but whether that profit is actually realized is not very relevant.

You could argue he’s sort of like if Simon Bolivar was successful and lived long enough to establish durable political institutions if you insist on China being capitalist, even if it is capitalist it’s better than being a colonial puppet like Chiang’s KMT, Manchukuo, or the Qing Dyansty.

Btw, this is the offending tweet: https://xcancel.com/ZeynabDay/status/2081396221504008571

I’ve seen liberals, be it those that support Palestine or Israel, come to unison when it comes to giving phull sapport to the Ukraine. Why? What gives?

Now, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that for the US government Georgia 2008 wasn’t the breaking line for the American empire, so much as the Ukraine 2014, simply because the Ukraine has far more resources in terms of arable land, industrial capacity, and minerals.

But what’s the excuse for the shitlib? Because those seem like ad hoc reasoning to justify a preconceived reason more than anything. Ofc the average shitlib is propagandized into supporting the Globalist American Empire (GAE) and whatever diktats it makes. Still, I think it’s worth asking how convenient it is that they’re so passionate about a country that is coincidentally one rich of resources (or illusion thereof, as some sceptics might say).

Indeed, shitlibs like Corey believe in the infinite goodness of the American empire, and so they’ll be the most conservative defenders of the status quo even if they won’t define themselves as such, with their sole issue with Trump being based on aesthetics more than anything else. Reminds you of anything?

Now, as Marx denotes, ideology and idealism often serve to mask what are in practice class struggles and other material realities. In this case, “western democracy capitalism” to a lib may sound like a just coherent idea, but in reality it’s little more than idealistic smokescreen for an imperialist war waged by the NATO imperialistic war machine against Russia, with obvious involvement from the cross-continental military cabal and arms industries. Whether you see it as a conflict between a proletarian and bourgeois powers, or intra-porkie bourgeois infighting at the expense of the global prole, it’s for you to decide. Nonetheless, much of the western propaganda about the Ukraine is clearly ideological crap.

For Eurocrats, there’s the fact that the war serves both to offset an European recession, and as a rallying cry for EU unity at a time when Europe is more disunited than ever. Not even anti-immigration serves as a proper glue as immigration is largely irrelevant to eastern Euros what with already having net low migration (both in and out of country) couplePost too long.

Liberal treatlerites believe its a good thing that countless millions of non-white people were murdered during the Cold War. They love Jakarta Method neoliberal Baal rituals of human sacrifice to capital, that allow them to buy Funko Pops.

the liberal theory of history is all pro-democracy slop, no materialism at all. "More democratic states means more freedom", that's their entire political philosophy. We saw this brainrot with the zoomer Nepal protests or whatever Soros is doing in Indonesia right now.
Its like this PMC Trot Gilbert Achcar who wrote five years ago that 'neo-campists are fools to not help Zionists fight Russia in Syria'. The left's entire identity is founded on being epic progressive heroes who are bravely fighting "authoritarianism":

What is gonna happen to the Trump family after Trump dies, or is forced out office?

Will many be killed in some revolution-style basedsacre, or hold a political, and also economic monopoly since Trump seems to be trying every effort posssible to buy out more markets and deals for his family.
Trump Jr is currently considered the favoured candidate for 2028 if Trump fails to bypass term limits too.

In quantum mechanics, the state of a physical system is described by a wave function. Before measurement, the system does not have definite values for every measurable property. Instead, the wave function gives probabilities for the different possible outcomes that could be observed.

After a measurement is made, the system has a definite value for the measured property. This requires a sudden change in the wave function: before measurement, it describes many possible outcomes, but after measurement, only one outcome remains with a 100% probability while all others become 0%.

If these other possibilities are not removed from the wave function, the predictions for future measurements of the same system would be incorrect. This transition from many possible outcomes to one actual outcome is called wave-function collapse.

The problem is that collapse is not described by the Schrödinger equation, which describes how quantum systems evolve over time. The Schrödinger equation only describes the continuous evolution of the wave function; it does not explain when or why collapse happens.

Because collapse is not produced by the Schrödinger equation, its cause cannot be found within the physical processes described by that equation. The main problem in quantum physics is explaining how a system goes from an undefined state containing multiple possibilities to a state with one definite outcome. Since all known physical interactions are already described by quantum mechanics, the cause of collapse cannot simply be another physical interaction within the same framework.

After a century of debate, collapse remains one of the central problems of quantum mechanics. On one hand, collapse seems to contradict the Schrödinger equation. On the other hand, it seems necessary because without collapse there would be no single physical event. The wave function contains possibilities, but an actual event requires one possibility to become real while the others are eliminated.

Quantum mechanics therefore challenges the idea that reality exists as a continuous physical world with definite properties at every moment. Instead, it describes reality as a series of events where definite properties appear only when they are measured. Before collapse, the properties of the system are not determined.

This does not mean that a quantum particle is literally in many places at once. A non-collapsed wave function does not describe one Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Fire erupts on ships at Egypt’s Damietta port
The Reuters news agency, citing British maritime security company Ambrey, reported that a US-owned floating storage tanker at the port had been hit by a drone. Crew members were evacuated, and the fire was brought under control, the report said. There has not been any claim of responsibility. The incident comes as US President Donald Trump promised to hit Iran “hard” following a wave of Iranian missile attacks targeting US bases in the region and US-Saudi Arabia joint attacks on a Tehran-backed armed group in Iraq, which killed at least 20 fighters.

Ahmet Davutoglu, former PM turned Erdogan critic, ends political career
“This is not a decision of surrender. It is a decision to distance ourselves morally. This is not giving up on politics; it is a call for everyone to rethink politics,” he said. He warned that the introduction of the executive presidential system in 2018 had eliminated checks and balances and accelerated authoritarianism, which “could give way to a permanent authoritarian system.” Davutoglu founded the Future Party in 2019, hoping to draw voters away from Erdogan's long-time ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and create an alternative conservative movement with democratic credentials.

Inside Greece’s Refugee Camps, Gender-Based Violence Is Built Into the System
In 2020, the Greek government introduced mandatory registration for organizations seeking to operate inside the camps. The process — costly and discretionary — effectively pushed out most independent groups, forcing them to work on the margins of the system. The result has been a double vacuum: fewer services for camp residents, and less independent monitoring of what happens inside. This is not an accident. The current structure of refugee camps in Greece took shape with the EU’s hotspot approach, introduced in 2015 in response to arrivals by sea from Turkey. Originally designed as spaces for rapid identification and processing on the Aegean islands, hotspots gradually became containment facilities. In 2016, the closure of borders by Macedonia, Croatia, and Slovenia left tens of thousands of people stranded in Greece, giving authorities a pretext to set up what were framed as emergency structures but have since become permanent.

Unison’s new left leadership: A balance sheet so far
Earlier this year, Andrea Egan was voted in as general secretary of Unison. Consequently, Britain’s largest union has a left-winger as leader for the first time in its history. This development brims with potential. Unison’s bureaucracy has consistently acted as an agent of the ruling class within the labour movement, holding back the class struggle in Britain at every major juncture. The union, indeed, possesses a vast apparatus, thoroughly tied to the top of the Labour Party, which has acted to put the brakes on every move towards industrial action – not only by its own rank and file, but across the trade union movement. A left-wing Unison leadership – acting in the interests of grassroots members, and not of the employers and establishment – would therefore be an important step forward for the entire workers’ movement. Egan’s election, meanwhile, could not have come at a better time: one of deepening crisis for British capitalism and its representatives, and of massive anger within the ranks of the working class.
