We frequently talk about how eugenics is the ideological backbone of capitalism and how nearly every aspect of capitalism is rooted in eugenics. This happens even in capitalist countries with “universal” healthcare such as Canada, where a hospital recently killed a baby girl by denying her a much-needed liver transplant. Why? Because she had Down Syndrome.

>Krystal Vanderbrugghen gave birth to her daughter, Veya, in December of 2023. She was born with Down syndrome and a congenital heart defect (CHD). Though Veya was able to have a successful heart repair, she then began experiencing complications with her liver.


>In an interview with Live Action News, Vanderbrugghen said Veya is a medically complex child, but her liver has been an ongoing problem, which took nearly a year to diagnose.


>As the hospital attempted treatment with multiple procedures last year, Veya then contracted Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) — which is mild in adults, but can be life-threatening for infants, the elderly, or people with compromised immune systems. “That really knocked her down,” Vanderbrugghen said.


But then, this year, something even more frightening occurred.

>“… [T]he more alarming thing that happened was she was overdosed on January 6th of this year with potassium… 10 times the amount of what she normally receives,” Vanderbrugghen told Live Action News. “… [S]he usually gets two doses of potassium in a day. Each are drawn up as 1.5 milliliters. And on that day, she got two syringes filled with 15 milliliters of potassium. So that sent her heart rate to 350 beats per minute, and they had to use cardioversion shocks on her three times to stabilize her.”


>Initially, Vanderbrugghen assumed it was an honest mistake. But due to subsequent events, she’s now questioning if it was truly an accident.


>Just two weeks after this terrifying incident in January, the family met with Veya’s team of doctors treating her liver condition. “… [E]verything we’ve done so far has not been successful,” said Vanderbrugghen. “And that’s when we learned that she was denied a transplant, which left us questioning a lot of things.”

>>2423025
hence why i said "near zero examples of it today" palestine is that one example

>>2423038
its one example of direct conquest, but these days we also have neocolonialism and financial dependence. so instead of reading marx dogmatically, we apply his analysis to current conditions. you are barely one level above saying
>nuh uh palestine isn't poland!

>>2423051
no i am applying it with consideration for changing conditions, it's rather that in almost every country today, even the worst and robbed nations, national liberation is not necessary, it is only ever necessary when it impedes the development of class consciousness, the palestinians cannot gain class consciousness until they are no longer being strangled by the rape perpetrated by israel, but i can tell you the congolese do not need the development of a "greater congo" in order to become revolutionary, it should be fairly obvious

>>2423056
>even the worst and robbed nations, national liberation is not necessary
why
>it should be fairly obvious
its not. explain your liberal delusions

>>2423075
national liberation as a point of politics in the 21st century is more of a liberal delusion, but let me state it like this, there is no value in building a national consciousness that already exists in 98% of countries on earth, and instead class consciousness should be built instead, this is what bourgeois nationalism means, it means building only a national consciousness for the bourgeois state, and that in the 21st century has ceased its use long ago

> GO ARREST NICK FUENTES
the bourgeois state is not your personal army though. right now their whole thing is using scarequote "ant-semitism" as a catchall term for anything the left does against zionism. Nick isn't on the left so he won't have a hair on his head touched. Also it helps him that he stays behind a microphone and isn't getting in physical altercations with zionists.

>What stood out was how much they sounded like a very specific type of western communist, with the arguments inverted. There was this one Chinese guy who insisted China today should be balkanized and that "we'd have been better off if the British conquered the entire mainland and ruled us for over a hundred years". There was this Russian dude who regarded Russian culture itself as backwards and retarded. And they all had eager ideas for how to "punish" their people for not-complying: sanctions, invasion, forced re-education with liberal values.

People like this end up being useful idiots for the neoliberal balkanization fetishists who want to turn everything into microstates and city states. The Gunther Fehlingers and Moldbugs of the world.

>God I just can't stand how actual Nazism is making a comeback and all people think is that opposing genocide is the REAL antisemitism!
This is by design. Whatever is convenient for capital. On any strange issue like zionism where both the extreme right and the extreme left have takes that go against the bourgeois status quo, the bourgeois state is going to crack down on the left harder. Because nazism is ultimately more compatible with capitalism than anti-imperialism and marxism-leninism. So it is the anti-genocide protesters actually out in the streets who are going to get their eyes shot out with rubber bullets, their arms broken by night sticks, etc while the atomwaffen freaks will always mysteriously pile into a van and get away just before the police arrive.

didn't the cultural revolution target not just capitalist roaders and bourgeoisie but also random people people educated in STEM fields who were contributing massively to the PRC? Like the very same people who helped China get its first atomic weapons were targeted by the GPCR. So it seems to me that it was at least partially retarded, counterproductive, and a circular firing squad. Some people always want to defend purges as getting rid of reactionaries but it's very obvious when a shotgun is being used instead of tweezers to remove lice.

And just like the purges of the 1930s didn't stop revisionism from eventually taking hold, the GPCR didn't stop Deng. It is very easy for defenders of these purges to double down and say no, actually they didn't go far enough. But the question becomes in what regard? Perhaps they didn't go far enough in the regard that they actually failed to target the bourgeoisie, and perhaps they went too far in the regard that they falsely targeted a lot of communists?

>>2423087
"They should have targeted the bourgeoisie" is easy to say but what do you mean by that specifically? The old pre-revolutionary Chinese bourgeoisie had been reduced to a bunch of pensioners without any capital, they were expropriated in the 50s. If you mean that the bureaucratic clique constituted a new bourgeoisie and the GCPR should have targeted them more than it did then most Maoists would agree with you.



 

>The exponential growth of data and the rising demand for data centres is challenging global climate progress. The rapid development of AI could undermine decarbonisation efforts worldwide by driving electricity consumption and emissions to extreme levels.
>As AI models evolve from simple text generation to more complex image, video, and music generation, data requirements are expanding rapidly, further amplifying energy demand. Since 2022, global investment in data centres has nearly doubled, reaching half a trillion dollars in 2024. However, this boom has also triggered mounting concerns around the sector’s growing energy footprint. Today, data centres and data transmission networks are responsible for about 1 percent of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.
>AI-optimised data centres, particularly hyperscale facilities, are pushing energy use to unprecedented levels. Some centres now require 100 megawatts or more of electricity. For perspective, a single large-scale facility can consume as much electricity annually as 350,000 to 400,000 electric vehicles.
>In 2022, data centres consumed an estimated 240 to 340 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, accounting for approximately 1 to 1.3 percent of global electricity demand. Electricity demand from AI-optimised data centres is projected to more than quadruple by 2030, reaching about 945 TWh, which would exceed Japan’s current electricity consumption.
>As of March 2025, the United States holds the largest number of data centres globally, operating 5,426 facilities. As a result, the USA accounts for the highest share of global data centre electricity consumption, responsible for 45 percent of global usage in 2024, followed by China at 25 percent and Europe at 15 percent.
>In the United States, data centres are expected to drive nearly half of the country’s electricity demand growth between now and 2030. By the end of the decade, the USA will consume more electricity for data centres than for the production of aluminium, steel, cement, chemicals, and all other energy-intensive goods combined.

Why does the left completely lack people with any understanding of planning or management, even at fairly basic levels?
The average microparty cult barely reaches the organizational complexity or success of the average small business, and the average small business fails within a year.

Entire lifetimes are spent debating whether or not we'll have coca cola under communism or whether the Soviet Union imploded because of revisionism or because of not revising enough, or on which children's entertainer on youtube is more revolutionary. Nobody seriously sits and plans out the necessary tasks to perform if we're to bring communism closer, then sets off to do them. if they do, they'll usually find some nagging detail, like the first step for any westerner being a boring program of raising class consciousness back to a level where trade union membership starts increasing again rather than the fun bit where they get to send missives to the comintern, and they'll revert to LARPing. Nobody operates with measurable goals, nobody adjusts the strategies that clearly haven't worked. Christ, even if your aim is just to LARP the CPSU, these organizations are failures: Given a year, even a mediocre capitalist could set up a more popular communist party than any extant English-speaking communist party.

Making people do things is not an impossible task: Look at McDonalds, look at Linux, Look at fucking Wikipedia, it's eminently possible to organize people to get things done, even without paying them. The task is hard, not impossible. Why, then, is the left so terrible at it? I'd half-confidently suggest that ChatGPT could do a better job.

For all their nonsense, cliches and flaws, I believe every communist should be forced to learn modern business management theories and techniques. Left-org management is so dismal that it could only be improved, even if ultimately any communist movement will need to go beyond them. Baby steps - if you can run a communist party better than your local bakery runs its affairs, then maybe we can talk about some Apollo Project level management skills…

My main answer is incentives. LARPing is fun, management ain't, and nobody's getting paid for this. Hell, I'm only writing this because I find the problem interesting and the lack of other people writing on the same subject unusual, I'm not going to go out and start Leftist-Walmart myself juPost too long.

Cooperatives!

>>2423064
no, i dont think those help.

i think they potentially have a place in a DotP as a loyal opposition that should be minimally appeased. i understand, appreciate, and would critically support (as in actually help despite my reservations) formation of coops among workers i knew, if they decided to push for it as a means of improving their immediate situation. its worse than unionizing but better than retarded grindset class traitoring.

ultimately i dont think there is really a way forward besides organizing as communists. i absolutely support unions, unionization is objectively historically progressive in the american context, not least of all bc even most american proles have been successfully brainwashed to hate unions now. IWW would be a nice thing to try to bring back if it wasnt mainly a weird furry thing now

>>2423071
>its worse than unionizing
Explain your position please

>>2423073
every time i have seen a cooperative form, they abandoned class struggle. it worked ok for them. every time ive seen a union, theyve been furious that well-established unions didnt bother with them because they already had theirs. were talking about twice in terms of coops and three times in terms of unions, each times small businesses and/or franchises. im not saying this is universally applicable, but thats what ive seen

Are right wingers genuinely stupid or just selfish? I know it's a massive generalization (and maybe ironic because of that) but I'm just dumbfounded. It's like they either know they're lying or too stupid to either understand cause and effect, or just struggle with empathy.

>>2333844
Depends on what kind of right-wingers you mean. The young highly online alt-right is largely people who just genuinely lack empathy and are fueled by anger. The more rational and intelligent right-wingers, on the other hand, are often people who correctly perceive that the left has a problem with pathological empathy, misunderstanding complex situations, and knee-jerk emotional desire to support supposed "rebels against the oppressors" no matter whether those "rebels" are actually righteous or not: an example is how many left-wingers support BLM even though reducing policing of black neighborhoods actually results in more black people dying from the lack of policing than were dying because of policing.

>>2337551
"Also just for genetic diversity between human ethnicites, would result at minimum, 12 different species, if we applied that distance, to any other animal. " is bullshit. After all, dogs have vastly more variation than humans and are considered to be one species. Not like species are well-defined, anyway.

That said, there are indeed many good arguments in favor of the idea that human genetic groups differ in things like intelligence and culture in part for genetic reasons, not just because of nurture. Leftists who reflexively lash out against this concept instead of engaging with it intellectually, by doing so, just cede ground to people who are willing to talk about the concept.
