We'll find about it in a few years when she settles a "fellow" of some anti-China think tank. Or joins whatever the new Trotskyism/Eurocommunism shapes to be on the Euro left, I suppose.

The later actions of PA where they basically do a stunt for the cameras, vandalize some office in the factory, faces uncovered, basically call the police themselves by intentionally triggering the smoke alarm with flares and walk out unharmed and un-jailed, glows. And Calla wasn't even part of that. All she did was protest outside Elbit Systems. PA accomplished nothing except by being promptly declared a terrorist organization and focusin everyone into protesting *for the dead org* instead of doing direct action.

Though considering the universe conspires to produce the funniest outcomes. I want to see a Calla Walsh that goes from Tankiemaxxing into WEF enviromentalism, just to fuck with people's heads.

Alternatively you could just go:
> Yeah the system would have extra on standby to handle fluctuations in demand

We already have to do that with product failure rate or spoilage or whatever – why would your one day desire to eat more broccoli to fill your contrarianism upset the system?
How would this prove we should switch to capitalism which is way more fragile to changing demands and fucking hoarding?

it's deeper than that. by fighting for the status quo they don't have to address the intrinsic waste of capitalism. it's taken as a given that we can buy tropical fruit all year no matter how that fucks with the environment, and whenever west can't have something they buy it off the plate of the third world. food prices today are directly caused by the yanks coup in ukraine and throwing all their farmhands into concentration camps. two massive hits to agricultural production that actively reduced the carrying capacity of the earth and amount to pointless self-defeating vandalism of the capitalist world order.

shoutout to eisenstein for envisioning video essays and breadtubers decades before they were invented

>>2591151
Something like that I'm hesitant since if it was a global socialist or even a communist system, then the farming systems can be designed to not fuck up the earth.

Though I have to concede that I'm only a programmer.
Ideas like rotating crops to another hemisphere, green housing, or whatever – which sound right to me, might be a dumb and wrong, and I wouldnt know since there's no video essay to adhd with where I could learn about it.

>Eisenstein walked so Breadtube could run

>At the same time that he was preparing his "Notes." Eisenstein was also reading Joyce's Ulysses (of which he also hoped to make a film). The formal part of Capital was to be dedicated to Joyce, from whom Eisenstein gleaned several major lessons. He planned, for example, to borrow from Ulysses the organizational focus on one typical day in the life of a worker. Nor would this focus, as Stanley Edgar Hyman pointed out, be an imposition external to Marx's own structure: "I would suggest that we see Marx's book as a melodrama called something like The Mortgage on Labor-Power Foreclosed. In the first act the villain mistreats the virtuous wife and injures her poor little child; in the second act the young laboring hero himself is maimed and sits paralyzed in a wheelchair while the child dies; in the third act they are thrown out into the snow and take refuge in a miserable hovel; in the fourth act the discovery is made that the villain stole the mortgage originally and has no legal or moral rights over our heroes. It needs a fifth act in which the working-class family is rescued and restored to its happy home, but only the proletarian revolution could produce that final curtain. Such is the dramatic movement that Hyman observed in Capital, which includes "four descents into suffering and horror," with the first act being "The Working-Day" Eisenstein's strategy was to use parallel montage, in which the mythologies of bourgeois society would be intercut with the worker's day culminating in his return in the evening to the petty comforts of his humble home, which represents, Eisenstein says, the major obstacle to the revolu-tion. Specifically, it is the wife who consitutes "the greatest evil." "A German worker's wife will always have something warm for her husband, will never let him go completely hungry. And there is the root of her negative role which slows the pace of social development. In the plot, this could take the form of 'hot slop, and the meaning of this on 'a world scale". An important feature of Eisenstein's formal technique, credited to Joyce, is illustrated in this example of the "slop" enlarged to a "world scale." The technique is the pun. "The elements of the historiette itself are thus chiefly those which, in the form of puns, provide the impulse towards abstraction and generalization (mechanical spring-boards for pat-terns of dialectical attitudes towards events)". The structuring function of the pun (a crucial link with AG) operates at two levels. First, directly, in that the "hot slop" (or soup) may allude to the "sloppiness" of the Rus sian worker: "In case CAPITAL is restricted (in its basic 'intrigue') to the 'world scale' and the Second International to the 'pedagogic' framework of USSR boundaries," Eisenstein states, he would "show the way in which out slovenliness, hooliganism, etc., is a social betrayal of the working class as a whole"
