HALT YOU NOW MUST NOW DISCUSS AND CRITIQUE THIS RANDOM PDF I FOUND. OR ELSE

Ok so now that I have your attention we're are gonna discuss and critique with me this PDF I found open among my old browser tabs.

> FROM A TURGID SESSION ON SUPER-EXPLOITATION AT HISTORICAL MATERIALISM, TO A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE QUESTION.

Most importantly, I found a couple of points the author makes that made me turn up my nose.
> One way of determining the underlying productivity of an industry in a country is its turnover. Higher rates of turnover suggest higher rates of productivity, because it implies shorter periods of production and or circulation.

What the hell is this!? The author seems to correlate higher turnover with either higher wages coming from workers changing employeers in growing sectors, or implies that workers with higher wages have a higher tndency of switching jobs.
But how does any of that connect with productivity? If anything, to my knowledge, in a number of sectors, expecially the more specialized ones such as IT, bringing in new people is always a cost since they need to be trained, something that is even harder if the other workers with the field knowledge are leaving in droves.
On the top of that, onboarding time is tipically the lowest in unspecialized jobs, which are typically those with low productivty due to the high level of organic capital, which is itself caused by the low skill required to enter and hence a very large amount of possible job applicats bringing down the price of labor.
So if anything, I would say that either this point is completely moot or potentially the author got this completely upside down.

> I have always portrayed this graph as representing the two arms embracing socialism. The top graph representing the possibilities lodged in socialism, and the bottom graph, because of its stagnant investment, the graph representing the necessity for socialism. The gap is somewhat overstated because it does not include the growth in circulating capital, evertheless, the trends show it to be real and growing over time.

Why do pacifists never elaborate on how they believe a non-violent revolution can succeed in overthrowing capitalism and the overall status quo?

I’m not saying run around and commit acts of adventurist violence (hi FBI!). I’m saying those who advocate overthrowing the system “peacefully” never, ever explain how they intend to do it. At least those who advocate pure electoralism like EuroComms can claim to have a strategy, even if it’s a bullshit one. But what about those who believe in working entirely outside the system like civil disobedience and whatnot? Plus we’ve seen how non-violent attempts at socialist Revolution get quickly destroyed since they have zero way of defending the revolution from oppressors and opposition.

Again, the purpose of this post isn’t to advocate violence but to make pacifists explain how they intend to accomplish what we want to accomplish through entirely non-violent means.

>Keep in mind anarchist "propaganda of the deed" was theoretically supposed to be the spark that lit the prairie fire. Anarkids believed that by assassinating politicians and engaging in bombings they would inspire others to rise up and do the same, eventually leading to mass uprising against the capitalist system.
I mean, wasn't this the rationale Czolgosz gave for why he killed that bastard McKinley?

>Hamas, the PFLP and whomever else participated on that day were fucking retards. October 7th was not only left-adventurism taken to its most extreme lengths but also a textbook example of release of impulses. Look at what resulted: a genocide with 80% of Gaza Strip destroyed and no end in sight. Hamas/PFLP had no day after plan.

Their day after plan was "Iran will help us" which wasn't totally unreasonable. It was a huge gamble though and that didn't work out.

>>1942513
Yeah last time Iran "retaliated" they basically performed a light show.

Intellectuals such as Chomsky argue is a matter of strategy. You can’t beat the state through violence. Another argument is that the least violent a revolution is, the more successful it is (this is debatable).
Activists such as Roger Hallam argue that non-violent resistance is proven to be the best way to achieve social change. Remember: state violence has a limit. Look at Myanmar. The answer is always in the numbers. With enough numbers, non-violence triumphs. With violence, even big numbers may fail.
Here we understand one thing: propaganda is the biggest enemy, and friend. Deprogram the population and radicalize them, and victory is yours.

Nigeria: Security authorities release the head of the country's largest labor union
Nigerian security authorities have released the leader of the workers' union, Joe Ajayero, after he was arrested at Abuja airport on Monday while travelling to the United Kingdom.

Nigerian security authorities have released the president of the Nigerian Workers' Union, Joe Ajayero, who was arrested on Monday morning while travelling from Abuja to the United Kingdom.

Many internal parties condemned Ajayero's arrest, most notably the Nigerian Workers' Union and other labor unions, in addition to figures concerned with public affairs.

In turn, Ajayero confirmed, in a press statement from Abuja, that the security authorities allowed him to return to his home on Monday evening, explaining that the Nigerian National Security Service had confiscated his passport.

He added that he was interrogated for about 15 hours after his arrest at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the Nigerian capital.

The Nigerian Labour Union president was due to travel to the United Kingdom on Monday to attend the Trade Union Congress (TUC) before he was arrested at the airport.

For its part, the Nigerian Workers Union condemned Ajayero's arrest and gave the Nigerian National Security Service until midnight on Tuesday to release him, and put all its branches, state councils, civil society allies and all patriotic Nigerians on high alert.

It is noteworthy that Ajayru had previously responded to the police's request to investigate allegations of financing terrorism in late August, where he insisted on his innocence.


 

The purpose of this thread:
This thread is exclusively for the discussion, analysis and news about weapons of mass destruction and nuclear war. It does not endorse or promote them, but rather serves to bring people to study their effects and consequences.
Some notes:
1. The cost of the Manhattan Project (through August 1945) was an estimated $20,000,000,000 .
2. The total number of nuclear missiles built, 1951-present is estimated to be 67,500 .
3. A nuclear holocaust is more probable to occur than a “global killer” meteor hitting the planet.

I want nukes
I want to set the world on fire


>At one point in the meeting, a briefer showed the president a graph tracking the dramatic reduction in U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons over the past several decades. That reduction is widely interpreted as a success story about arms-control treaties, the end of the Cold War, and the declining dependence on weapons of catastrophic destruction. But Trump viewed it with alarm, telling the group that he wanted more nukes. Pointing to the graph’s peak year, 1969, when the U.S. had 32,000 nuclear weapons, Trump said he wanted that many nukes now.

The casualty numbers of Palestinians in Gaza climbed up from roughly 40,000 to 200,000 in several months, which is around 10% of the Gazan population. If this goes on and Palestinians end up killed off to a large part or entirely, do you think Western liberals who aren‘t on the left side of the spectrum will just flat out deny that there was a genocide or justify it? Will it become one of those subjects?

It‘s not confirmed, it‘s an estimate of total deaths when taking into account the potential number of indirect deaths thus far. OP then rounded up the original figure of 186,000 to 200,000.

>>1942498
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext
>In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths. Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37 396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2 375 259, this would translate to 7·9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip.

Hola a todos

You all probably already knew this, but this is more of a vent for all the liberal media garbage.

With respect to Venezuela, there is a lot of half-baked news and hoaxes taken from who knows where. From the dissemination of old videos that occurred in 2017 or that have nothing to do with it, to literally things taken with AI or that are directly acted.

Likewise, they have been putting Maria Corina Machado, the opposition leader, who is actually the daughter of oligarchs, and Edmundo González, an affable puppet with whom the guarimberos emphasize, at an absurd level.

We cannot forget the quasi-terrorist level of many opposition demonstrations, which are orchestrated by criminal groups that disguise themselves as: "workers fighting for FREEDOM."

Is this orchestrated by the North American and European oligarchies? For sure.

We are all for the Venezuelan workers in favor of their liberation and social progress against imperial pretensions and being concerned about this situation.

(Yes, it's not a big deal, but it's something I had to release)

The CNE can't perform an audit because they don't have the physical backup yet , nor the machines. I found this interesting article from the BBC (
https://www.bbc.com/mundo/articles/cjl6j83zwklo) which claims the CNE won't have the machines at least until Friday. It also explains the verification process which can be performed by pretty much any auditor with ease. tbh the venezuelan election process does seem kinda cool.

I’ve noticed a very massive campaign from KPop/Clairo/whatever stupid pop singer/anime accounts with pronouns in bio who harass anti-imperialists and communists and say “well we live in Latin America and know that Maduro is a big pee pee poo poo fascist racist antisemite”, which is not how most people in LatAm talk.

My pet theory on this is that white liberal newspeak has been codified into AI bots and is also used by paid shills.

I agree and this situation is now inevitable. This is how all right wing politics end. They will literally go to war with each other exactly as Italian Communists went to war with each other in the 60s and 70s. The state will intervene when necessary, gradually assuming more roles, and ultimately the allowable political discourse will shift away from neoliberal capitalism. shit/pol/ will completely destroy itself starting November 6th. Probably at midnight when the vote count continues and /pol/ demands they stop the vote so Trump can win. This is when weapons come out and America's right successfully crashes itself into the police state they've created.

I don't know if communism comes after that, but American social democracy is likely, and that alone will allow true communism to happen elsewhere without fear of an American military intervention to correct it. We already see it in how the US has backed off from Venezuela, Columbia, Mexico and Brazil.
