>vaguepost king quotes nobody and responds to no args

>>2793575

meaning != purpose. meaning is the "why", the rationale and intellectual significance of the idea, purpose is the "what", the actionable goals of the idea.

the idea of intellectual property has always had plenty of purposes, but in my opinion it never really had any meaning, any rational basis - the idea that information can be a form of privately owned property has always been bullshit, a nonsensical and unrealistic idea.

the only reason we were able to treat information as property is because of technological limitations that made information difficult to encode/copy/modify/transmit/etc., but as i described, these technological limitations do not last. intellectual property makes unrealistic demands of reality and reality is refusing to accommodate them. that is why it is bullshit.

> but in my opinion it never really had any meaning, any rational basis
for the ruling class, protecting their own class position is a perfectly rational basis, even if the tools they used to do that appear irrational to everyone but themselves

well if we are going to preserve our sanity and live in rational objective reality we have to refrain from internalizing the irrationality and solipsism of the ruling class, even doing it inadvertantly through careless use of language

the right has always been a sham
from around 1649-1789, it was primarily concerned with the interests of the aristocracy and arbitrarily conserving power. it had no intellectual theory of its own, while the left completely dominated all relevant areas of culture and politics. after 1789, the right was complacent with regulating the aristocracy politically, but also regulating trade to benefit them economically, such as with the corn laws of england, 1815-46 (enacted under the tories) which artificially rose prices so that british landlords could derive greater profits from their sale. Marx also speaks on how the Acts of Union (1801) with Ireland was a conspiracy to create a landed aristocracy in ireland and mass immigration into England (causing immense competition amongst labourers, as Engels notes in 1848 and Marx speaks on in 1869). This Act was also issued by the Tories. The right then in this era, were not at all loyal to the common man, and never have been. After 1900, you get the Labour Party, the first socialist party in Britain, and so the Tories (now conservatives) make these their main enemy. In 1926, there was a general strike in protest of mining companies attempting to lower wages; the resolve of the Conservative government was simply to make general strikes illegal. This led to the election of Ramsay Macdonald, the first labour PM, from 1929-35. After WW2 we get the celebrated welfare state due to the work of Clement Attlee (who also opposed the EEC, or EU, while conservatives promoted inclusion and eventually put the UK in the EU). During the 60s and 70s we get the "new right" in continental europe and the anglosphere. In the anglosphere it is about free market economics, with reactionary cultural values (now, as it will be clear, liberal values come from liberal economics, so it is already a paradox). At the same time, "free market" just means selling public assets off to the highest bidder and exporting national industry to foreigners, creating mass unemployment and dependence on the state (the descent of places in the US like Detroit are entirely synonymous with the exportation of industry, creating welfare slaves who fall into crime - this evidently stains not only racial underclasses but also deindustrialised regions in general). This period (often termed "neoliberalism") passes from around 1979-1989 with Reagan and ThatPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

He needs Epstein levels of shit done to his stupid ass, a broken bone for every banned Twitter account when he to this day says he's all about free speech.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un observed a test organized by the Armored Weapons Research Institute of the Academy of National Defense Science.
Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, observed a tank capability evaluation test organized by the Armored Weapons Research Institute of the Academy of National Defense Science.
Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction, stating that the test served as an opportunity to demonstrate, through actual action rather than explanation, how superior our new main battle tank is, and to clearly demonstrate how reliable a combat means it is.
Comrade Kim Jong Un stated that through the test conducted today, the functionality of our new main battle tank's interception system has been demonstrated to be perfectly equipped with the capability to thoroughly eliminate almost all existing anti-tank means.
Comrade Kim Jong Un, while evaluating the new main battle tank that demonstrated remarkable combat performance, said that it was once again confirmed that there is no room for doubt in our view, which has already declared that there is no tank in the world comparable to this one.
During the various tests conducted on this day to inspect the active protection system of the new main battle tank, the combat effectiveness of the protection system against anti-tank means attacking from various directions was specifically tested, and the perfection of the defensive function was confirmed with 100% probability.

The Position of the Communist Party of Kenya Regarding North Korea
North Korea is a subject of international debate. Most of the debates on the far east country are however clouded by view of the country that has been created by US government propaganda.
In a bid to provide our readers with a different view of North Korea, ITIKADI spoke to the Communist Party of Kenya Vice-Chairperson, Booker Ngesa Omole, who is also a member of Songun Study in Kenya.

Excerpts….

<Q: What is the position of the Communist Party of Kenya regarding North Korea?
>A: Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is a beacon of hope for all the oppressed and exploited people of the world. DPRK is the pillar of our anti-imperialist struggles. The Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) and the Kenyan people have always been friends of the people of North Korea. The African people understand the pain of colonialism, neo-colonialism, and now imperialism. We know who our friends are, imperialism continues to cause untold suffering in Africa, and no amount of Western propaganda and outright lies can prevail over the truth. Some bad-mouth the Korean socialist project and we understand where they are coming from. The remnants of colonialism are still evident and making some people more gullible to believing European and American notions of things. In Europe and North America, conditioned masses, have stubbornly refused to comprehend the reasons why the Empire has made the people of North Korea suffer so terribly for years. American based cable TV channels like CNN have conditioned the thinking of some of our people. The Communist Party of Kenya, among other revolutionary organizations, has been at the forefront to rebut this well-choreographed western propaganda. The alternative anti-imperialist media like TeleSur, Press TV, RT has provided the hardware to lead this war. Social media is another avenue that has been instrumental in our anti-imperialism agenda.

<Q: In the West, there are a lot of talks about the future of Africa -North Korea relations; there are also several commentaries mainly from African left intellectuals on the Korean socialist project. Where is the communist party in this?

"Josh Tesolin, the former star Ray White real estate agent who banked more than $9 million in commissions last financial year, has been slapped with a decade-long ban from the industry.

The penalty, which also include fines totalling $33,000, is one of the harshest imposed by the industry regulator in recent years. It comes on the back of a three-year investigation that unearthed findings that he engaged in sustained unlawful, improper and dishonest conduct on more than 100 property transactions."

SUBIANTO’S GOONS GOT ARRESTED FOR ACID ATTACK OF LIBERAL PODCASTERS
Hahahha holy shit

> Indonesian military authorities said on Wednesday that they have arrested four officers allegedly involved in an acid attack on an ‌activist known for his opposition to the expanded role of the military in civilian ‌life.

>Andrie Yunus, a deputy coordinator with the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence, a rights group also ​known as KontraS, suffered burns to 20% of his face and body from acid thrown by assailants from a motorcycle on March 12.

>The alleged perpetrators were members of an intelligence unit belonging to the military, said Major General Yusri Nuryanto, Commander of Indonesian Armed Forces Military Police, adding ‌that they were also from the ⁠Navy and Air Force.

>"We have now taken the four alleged suspects into custody at military police headquarters and we are conducting a thorough investigation," ⁠he told reporters.

>Since President Prabowo Subianto took office after a landslide 2024 election victory, rights groups and students have expressed concern about the use of the military to implement his policy goals, which ​triggered nationwide ​unrest in August last year.

>The activist was attacked ​after recording a podcast episode about ‌the military's expanding role in Indonesian politics.

>A win for wildlife, a loss for humans. African nature reserves are restricting indigenous peoples' access to rivers and forests — and, in doing so, are endangering their very existence.

>In the name of protecting rhinos, lions and gorillas, Africa's governments are handing over control of ever-larger swathes of land to NGOs such as the WWF, African Parks or the Northern Rangelands Trust — to the detriment of local indigenous populations.

>At first glance, Africa's wildlife conservation efforts look to be a good thing.
>The problem is: The new nature reserves systematically restrict indigenous peoples' access to rivers and forests.
>That's led environmental activists and advocates for indigenous communities to denounce what they see as a new "green colonialism". >They criticize the commercial and militarized administration of nature — in particular, the growing trade in carbon emissions credits for land long used by indigenous communities.

>In Rwanda, Kenya and the Republic of the Congo, our reporter met members of communities who are now considered to be a threat to the natural environment, even though their ancestors have shared the land with wildlife here for centuries.
>To this day, these indigenous peoples live from small game and wild honey, or from the milk and meat of their cattle. Restrictions make it increasingly difficult for them to lead their traditional lifestyles, yet the wildlife preserves afford them few new job opportunities.
I have to post this here because this form of "green colonialism" has been running rampant in Thailand for at least 20 years, harming Indigenous people who have lived in the forests for hundreds of years. The most recent victims of forced removal are Karen communities living in the western forests of Thailand, with significant support for these actions coming from the Thai middle class. This borg can’t even distinguish Indigenous people from actual poachers who harm endangered species, let alone blame the horrible system that forces people to do this just to survive in the first place.

Violent fighting between the army and communist guerrillas in the Philippines.
<Nineteen people were killed in clashes between the army and communist guerrillas in central the Philippines. Two US citizens were among the dead, and calls have been made for an investigation into the incident.

At least 19 people have died in clashes between the army and communist guerrillas in the Philippines. Authorities said two US citizens were among the dead.

The clashes reportedly occurred on Negros Island, near Toboso. Local disaster management officials, speaking to AFP, said more than 300 villagers were forced to leave their homes after hearing gunfire.

The government task force identified the deceased US citizens as Lyle Prijoles and Kai Dana-Rene Sorem. It was stated that both men had arrived in the area approximately a month prior to the incident.

Authorities claimed that the 19 people who died were members of the New People's Army (NPA). The NPA is known as the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines and has been operating in the country for a long time.

While debates continued regarding the death toll in the clashes, Filipino lawmaker Leila de Lima called for an independent investigation. De Lima stated that among the dead were a student and a local journalist.

The Philippine military, however, defended the operation as a "legitimate armed conflict," stating that the targets were armed militants and that 24 weapons were seized during the operation.

>Philippine officials say 2 Americans among suspected communist rebels killed in clash with troops
From AP. IM confused about this story.

From a realistic perspective, having a grassroots movement of working-class people in America arrive at the conclusion of socialism is simply not a possibility. The American people are too reactionary and too imperialist. It's simple. The average American supports these wars and supports the bloodletting of children in the global South. Ergo, only a secretive, tightly controlled vanguard party, which is funded from without, i.e. not by those same imperialists, can truly bring about revolution. The American people really don't have much of a reason or to care about revolution, nor would they support it. So we have to go through other means. Or at least that's the logic I'm assuming that the PSL supporters believe in.

>>2747991
>they aren't using the PSL to push the flotilla because everyone with half a brain knows by now that the PSL has a history of sexually assaulting cadre
As former PSL, I think you're missing the mark. Those sexual misconduct allegations are 100% true for the record, and the organization is rife with male chauvinism. That being said, that's not why PSL is laying low about their involvement. Internally PSL couldn't care less about the allegations against them. Rather, PSL follows standard Marcyist (quasi-trotskyist) practice in believing that elevating the consciousness of the masses is secondary to "doing something". This means essentially mirroring (and oftentimes taking part in) the liberal nonprofit industrial complex, but it's super duper different because they sometimes admit some of their politics upfront. If you want an example of this in their public writings, look at their book "Socialist Reconstruction", which actively minimizes the question of revolution in favor of openly idealist fanfiction depicting a "United Socialist States of America". It hardly needs to be said that this is tailism and opportunism. It reflects a basic fear of the masses and their propensity to reject Revolutionary Communist politics in the US, and its practical demands. Rather than grapple with why people (particularly whites) in the US embrace fascism and social-fascism over Communism, they prefer to minimize politics in favor of empty "militancy" and economism. Again, quasi-trotskyism.
>I would be highly suspect of any content creator or activist who joins the flotilla.
I don't think it's worth making much of a fuss over if I'm being honest. The flotilla is ultimately a performative gesture of "doing something". I think PSL should be critiqued for minimizing the need for revolution as they campaign to defend a country they consider socialist, a patently absurd practice but not one that's anything new for them, and "content creators" deserve the wall regardless of their involvement with PSL anyways. Nothing about the flotilla or joining it is actually producing any long term changes to how Revolutionary Communists should relate to revisionist and liberal forces in the US. So like, don't waste your breath. Focus on the ongoing struggles that actually matter.

I've thought the Singham story is the biggest nothingburger. Like there's some rich guy giving you money? My attitude is like meh take the money, what criticism can you make of that which isn't moralistic. What makes me feel more pessimistic, however, is seeing someone like Chris Smalls (in your example) go from being this popular union organizer who came out of nowhere and seemed different and new to becoming another "media leftist" quasi-celebrity. Like there's no workers' political organization as much as a media presence substituting for one and the activism which builds around that skews towards the symbolic and performative side because that's good for media, and maybe that is related to the money going into the media side of things.
