Reminder: CPUSAnon openly said he admires Oswald Mosley. Remember that when he argues so vociferously about "reverse racism" and his great white Volk.

lol heโ€™s obsessed with me; been filtering the TOR node myself for a while. Asking him to not obsess over me is like asking him to kill himself.

IT'S TIME TO LOG THE FUCK OFF LEFTYPOL AND PICK A MISSION

Pick a Mission:

Mission A
Within the next 3 months, recruit 10 coworkers into a weekly political study and organizing group, hold at least 12 meetings, and collectively identify and carry out one workplace-based collective action campaign.

Mission B
Over the next 6 months, have one-on-one organizing conversations with 50 working-class people in your community, maintain contact with at least 20 of them, and help form a durable local committee that meets at least twice per month.

Mission C
Within the next 4 months, complete a certified first-aid/trauma-response course, go to a shooting range with 5 comrades, and help organize a 5-comrade mutual-aid emergency response network that can be contacted within 30 minutes during a community crisis.

Mission D
Within the next 2 months go to at least 12 local parks and home construction sites, and bring a geiger counter with you, to test them for radiation. If they have radiation, expose this to the public to create local outrage against the ruling class.

>>2837513

That said: not a fascist, and my opinion on Mosley is that he was a fairly intelligent, well-spoken man whose life nevertheless displays the core failures of fascist philosophy.

For example: for as much as Fascism would pride the will overtaking the material, and for much as it elevates totalitarian control by a central leader figure, Mosley was fundamentally unable to expel antisemitism from his party and instead embraced it to maintain authority. The lesson to derive from Mosley is one that groups like the ACP are bound to repeat: that the Party will likely be morphed by the ideology of its constituency rather than the constituency being morphed by the Party. Rather than turning MAGA types right, idiotic โ€œMAGA Communistsโ€ are more likely to turn right themselves and abandon socialism in its entirety.

>Morality is physics
Nah. morality is a spook. a person engages in anti social behavior because they have a fucked up brain. if we could fix everyone's brains the anti social behavior would go away. the brain is a machine and free will doesn't exist. a person who is really smart can bump their head really hard at work and become stupid for the rest of their life and go from exhibiting really smart behaviors to really stupid behaviors. What people call "choice" is really just the brain exhibiting behaviors in situations. there is no soul piloting the brain like a battle mech. that is spooks and so is morality. one day they'll be able cure all sorts of antisocial brain behaviors, or even just make brains that don't have them. the real question is who will control the means of brain production.

See I think thatโ€™s falling into the trap of โ€œrevolution from aboveโ€, I think even if he won, Mosley wouldnโ€™t be able to make whatever changes he wanted. He would ultimately be subject to the forces that put him there in the first place.

>>2837567
what makes morality a spook is not its identity with pro social behavior which is a real thing. what makes morality a spook is the belief that the mind "chooses" to be "moral" versus "immoral." Brains are machines which exhibit behavior. I am consistent on this. If a person's "choices" change based on how much brain damage they have (and split brain experiments have shown this and much more) then the brain is a machine that exhibits behaviors, not makes choices. There is no moral culpability. There is pro-social and anti-social behaviors, but morality is believing people are at fault for how their shitty brains work, which is just spooks and catharsis. Sometimes it also comes with extra spooks like "we have to burn them at the stake" and "god will judge them" and so on.

>>2837569

Obviously it isn't quite as simple as just making a declaration or passing some law and society changes. And of course there are many different parts of society such as the bourgeoisie, workers, church and other institutions that will push back against certain state interventions within capitalist society Mosley was working with. But the state has far more potential power to change society than many like to admit.
The forces that put you into power can be shifted. Assassinate the most obstinate and stubborn. You use zersetzung to disorganize potential opposition that you can't get rid of immediately. You create a new independent base of support by giving various positive incentives such as jobs reliant on you.
irl what ends up happening most often is such a system gets wrapped up in a single person and falls apart once that person dies. Then it eventually reverts to the local norm.
But there is always the possibility things change so much there is no reverting to past norms. That the liberal ideal of a basic human nature really can get overturned.

your brains exhibit the behaviors known as "coping" and "seething" when confronted with this nuclear true information: Brains exhibit behaviors, and those behaviors change with damage, drugs, etc. The brain is complex machine and no two brains are the same. A so -called "act of free will" or choice" is just a unique brain exhibiting a behavior in a specific context of of unique stimuli. what gives it the illusion of being "free" is the billions of possible behaviors and high sensitivity to the context of the stimuli, but they aren't freely chosen behaviors. there is no "thing" doing the "choosing" except the laws of physics. Engels said recognition of necessity is free will, but that was just a clever bit of redefinition on his part. Some brains are damaged and not capable of recognizing necessity, and nobody chooses whether they get a damaged brain that fails to adapt to its environment and social life or a relatively well-functioning brain that adapts well to its environment and social life. You cannot disprove any of this. People who believe in free will are just afraid to accept a world where mere neurochemistry can result in horrific violence. A brain is not a mech piloted by a soul, sorry.

I've noticed the past several months a few black liberal influencer types have been pushing this meme that leftists didn't vote for Harris because of "purity tests" (no further elaboration on this point of course) and that they're just racist. Maybe it's just being pushed by the DNC but it's disheartening and frustrating to think people might actually believe these things.

I'd just like to recruit 1 coworker but I'm so autistic I have no idea how to talk to people, much less talk to them about these kinds of things.

>>2837599
actually i would say a lot of leftists claimed they didn't vote harris because it's embarassing to admit but then did it anyway because even though they know genocide joe and holocaust harris are bad they still felt like they had to stop orange man. so they voted harris and then lied about it.

>>2837612
>socialism is when you believe the brain is a mech piloted by the soul
>anyone who doesn't believe this must be badjacketed as a neo nazi
nazis believe in a racial hierarchy, and that morality is racially determined. i am saying that free will does not exist, unless of course you use the clever Engels definition which redefines it as recognition of necessity. but we know a brain in a coma or is not capable of recognizing necessity, so I find this definition of free will troubling. morality is also just the idea of holding brains responsible for the behaviors they exhibit. I did not once speak out against proletarian revolution, class struggle, or historical necessity. a careful reading of what i said and actually responding to what i said is more than welcome. if you do not what to do that and if you instead wish to vaguely gesture that i am a neo nazi and my posts should be hidden from everyone by moderators for wrongthink, that is fine.

>>2837612
>the biology of the brain determines everything about an individual
also btw i did not say this. i said what appears as "choice" is really the interaction of a brain with its environment, and the brain is reshaped by the environment ,and not just its initial biology. however, the brain is ultimately at the mercy of physics, and is not being piloted by some choice-making entity outside of physics. this is not at all incompatible with recognizing the historical necessity of proletarian revolution, nor is it equivalent to fascist theories of racial hierarchy whatsoever.

Literally no one is talking about a "soul" except for you. Yet somehow you jump from talking about it to "biology and environment interact" and are intertwined, which are two entirely different arguments. A "soul" is not necessary for the engendering of the concept of "free will".

>>2837631
if tomorrow you bumped your head at work, and you brain become much less capable than it previously was, and even started to begin making mistakes that it wouldn't have previously made, none of that would be a "choice" the high or low quality of behaviors that a brain exhibits is not a result of "choice" which is just a philosophical word meant to imply culpability, but of material conditions, biology, environment, physics, etc. I am consistent on this. It has nothing to do with neo-nazism. You are right that nobody is talking about a soul, but fundamentally for a brain to be able to defy physics, it would have to be piloted by something outside of physics. I contend that physics itself pilots the brain, and physics is not an entity that makes "choice".

Two contradictory positions.

If the former, everything, including revolution, isnโ€™t real because reality is nothing more than a fictious projection of internal workings.

ok then the natural laws that govern the universe results in brains that exhibit behaviors, but those brains cannot usurp the natural laws that govern the universe. they can only respond to stimuli, and they respond differently depending on whether they are damaged, intoxicated, and so on.

people are ships of theseus and they do not have free will. so it's both. if people want to say free will and morality is real and hold brains responsible for the behaviors they exhibit, then they simply believe in a stable entity beyond physics "piloting" (metaphor) the brain and making decisions from beyond the universe. that is why i keep pointing to the soul. because to believe in free will and morality you have to believe the brain is capable of freely splitting the universe every time it exhibits a behavior, and that it is acting outside of its stimuli in the universe, and you either have to implicitly or explicitly believe in something outside of physics that determines behavior. If behavior is not determined by anything then reality is completely random. I believe brains are machines that behave according to the laws of physics not outside of it. A brain can recognize necessity and come close to being "Free" but paradoxically freedom just means realistically recognizing what you can't change and accepting that. an unfree brain is deluded into thinking it can change things that it cannot, or that it is beyond the laws of physics, or that it splits the universe into two timelines every time it reacts to something… we know from split brain experiments that the two halves of the brain will even make separate decisions after a corpus callosectomy. we know that the brain reacts to stimuli before it processes its own reaction as a "choice."

Experiments in neuroscience suggest that some brain activity associated with a decision can occur before a person becomes consciously aware of having made that decision. Consciousness, free will, soul, choice, these are just words filling in for reaction to stimuli, and morality is just society getting emotional about holding some brains responsible for how they react to stimuli. whether that manifests as revolution, or lynch mobs, or court trials, or slapping a child for dropping their toy is entirely besides the point.

I mean, in the news anon thread was this article

This is a side effect of for-profit private prisons. Squeezing a stone of slave labour until all the blood runs out is just capitalism at work. The laxxing of restrictions for prison guards, and the lowering of guard wages leads necessarily to corruption such as drug smuggling, favoritism, bribery, blackmail, rape, pimping, beatings, murder, etc.
No prison will investigate themselves, and if they do they will find nothing wrong.
>>2837662
I would argue that a country that doesn't use their prisons for slave labour and profit, but instead rehabilitates them to be functioning members of society is probably better.
Reminder: the US prison system houses 25% of the world's prisoner population despite making up 5% of the global population.

I didn't say it was a legal defense. I would never use it as a legal defense. My position on free will not being real does not mean I am going out to go out and rape and murder people and claim that it was just my brain being shitty. In fact my brain is functioning well enough to realize that wouldn't work as a defense, even if it were true. That's entirely besides the point. Anyway, like I said in the other post the US prison system is just a rape and torture dungeon used to make slave owners rich. It has very little to do with punishing violent criminals, since it is filled with non violent offenders and America has a higher per capita prison population than most countries.

Anders Brevik gets to spend the rest of his life in adult daycare after killing 77 children. Norway also has prisons but they don't really work like American torture/rape dungeons. This makes some people very sad because they are sadists who want to see "justice" but it makes me happy because I would rather there be less torture and rape dungeons, whether they come in the form of Abu Ghraib, or the US prison system.

>>2837662
>Name some communist countries that consider "choice is a spook" as a legal defense.
I already responded once, but thinking for a few minutes longer, the closest thing to this in real life is "not guilty by reason of insanity" … where we implicitly recognize that a brain which is senile, or schizophrenic, or sufficiently damaged is somehow not capable of the so-called "Free will" spook, but we refuse to extend this correct logic to functioning brains. a functioning brain is a brain that plays well with its environment. that does not mean choice is real. it just means that some brains play well with their environments and others don't. when a brain doesn't play well with its environment it does things like commit "crimes" which are themselves social constructs in class society, as we can see from how the poor are treated differently than the rich, and the minorities different from the majority, and so on. Now if that brain belongs to a rich person they usually get away with it, but if it belongs to a poor person we say that brain is "guilty" unless it is so obviously damaged that it is said to be "insane" in which case that brain becomes "not guilty by reason of insanity." but where is the threshold for this? it's very subjective which means even legal precedence has wiggle room. As a society we create these rather arbitrary cutoff points for this metaphysical idea called "free will" that are entirely socially constructed and not at all scientific. also it's very obvious to anyone paying attention that certain people are going to have their cognitive disorders recognized as a "not guilty by reason of insanity" more often than others. A homeless man turned himself in after robbing a bank for 100 dollars. he got 15 years. a CEO did 3 billion dollars of fraud. He got 40 months. It does not matter that the homeless man was probably mentally ill, and motivated by addiction, he was punished much more harshly, because of his status within class society.

You are engaging in a fallacy of composition. Yes, the human brain is made up of atoms, molecules, subatomic particles, etc., and those cannot think but do compose us. However, just because these particles donโ€™t โ€œthinkโ€, doesnโ€™t mean that the sum of these individual particles doesnโ€™t โ€œthinkโ€ and act as a complete, independent entity. Humans do exhibit emergent qualities - โ€œproperties or behaviors that its parts do not have on their own, and emerge only when they interact in a wider wholeโ€. We can be a machine and also be more than a mere machine at the same time. Our qualities come from all of these particles interacting both internally and externally with the environment. This does not inherently โ€œsplit timelinesโ€; it merely reifies the internal development and projection of the self.

>>2837692
emergent qualities are real, free will is not. you are at the mercy of your neurochemistry. if you accepted this you would actually become closer to being free, but still not quite free. one day, under socialism science will be able to restructure brains so that they no longer exhibit anti social behavior. perhaps one day we will rob brains of the urge to rape, to murder, to exploit. it will be wonderful. we already alter behavior through drugs and surgery, but not in a perfectly predictable way. this is not neo nazism because there is no racial determinism to this nor do I treat people as subhuman for how they are. race is a spook just like free will.

>>2837694
If emergent qualities are real then free will is a trait that emerged out of the complex interplay of our mechanistic composition and our environments due to the ever increasing development of both. Hence why even some apes are able to recognize themselves in mirrors and learn languages; a sense of self, free will beyond merely reacting biochemical instinct, the ability to consciously alter ourselves and our environments to be able to achieve the โ€œsocialist restructuring of our brainsโ€ as you put it - all of these are emergent qualities. Free will is the entire reason why our machines can be put to use to achieve the proletarian republic rather than just languushing in whatever comes most naturally to us: โ€œI indulge, nothing else exists.โ€

a brain being sufficiently complex to learn a language or recognize its own body in a mirror is not a result of free will but the result of evolution however.

when does the so called free will kick in? surely a baby or a senile person does not have free will. rather than appeal to free will I would say a person starts off being a total product of their environment, but as they get older, and more capable, they have more influence over their environent. never so much as to control their environment, but enough to "leave their mark" so to speak. but even then, that is not free will, that is just a person becoming a little bit stronger and more influential compared to what they were in the womb. then they lose it all. they get weak, old, senile, brittle boned, they die. they go back to being a total product of the environment, after a brief parabolic arc where the environment was slightly influenced by them.

You either do that or get nukes. Otherwise you should expect to get murdered by genocidal Nazis sooner or later.

>>2837706
The emergent ability to influence and be influenced and again in a cyclical, complex interplay, rather than merely being influenced, is free will. Our machines can become sufficiently powerful enough to be able to facilitate this higher order interaction, and they can also degrade to the extent that their capacity for free will can be lessened or negated entirely; dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases are not binary on/off switches.

>>2837727
but your emergent ability to influence is miniscule compared to the influence it took in to produce that output. so it is more like you are transforming and putting your stamp on what you received, and in a way that is itself typical and reproducible in others of similar circumstances. so even though everyone is unique, they will still make very similar decisions given similar stimuli. and this stimuli can be very powerful. nicotine for example is physically addictive and compels its own usage in a way that many brains are incapable of overpowering the urge to smoke (I do not smoke but I recognize this power of the stimuli over the brain).

>>2837726
something even worse will replace nukes eventually. the arms race is suicidal. we need global governance or we can kiss our species and planet goodbye.

>>2837733
But for the meantime WMDs or bust

>>2837731
>so even though everyone is unique
If you admit that people are unique, then you understand that you understand that however tiny the variations may be, they are indeed variations, and not precisely reproducible. Therefore, it is not the size of the output, but rather its uniqueness, which determines the independence (and, thereby, the freedom due to infinitely increasing complexity) of expression. Many people may not be able to go "cold turkey", but some can; thus does freedom emerge out of the machine in order to liberate it from its own self-restricting shell.

>>2837738
>you admit that people are unique
yes i did so earlier. it's less of an "admission" and part of why I think free will is an illusion. uniqueness and complexity creates the illusion of choice. because the brain is capable of making billions of different decisions, it appears to be in control, but all that proves is that the brain is nuanced and unique, and so is the particular combination of stimuli at any given moment. it is like a combination lock with trillions of numbers.
>the independence (and, thereby, the freedom due to infinitely increasing complexity) of expression
I think the complexity is not "infinite" but very large and hard to comprehend. furthermore I do not think this proves "freedom" or "independence" but merely nuance and complexity. people confuse complexity for freedom, just like they confuse randomness of freedom. because it is hard to predict it seems "free" but it still behaves according to physical laws, and it is definitely not self-driven but responding to stimuli.
>Many people may not be able to go "cold turkey", but some can; thus does freedom emerge out of the machine in order to liberate it from its own self-restricting shell.

if you are really autistic and not just taking license with that word, autistic children tend to do something called "scripting" where they learn to socialize by rehearsing to themselves in private rather than learning from context. so just study how social normies talk and rehearse that to yourself. you'll have trouble figuring out context but if you're cautious and avoid speaking if you don't know when it's correct you'll get pretty far.

>>2837756
which mission? >>2837514

>>2837745
Or it's that the uniqueness and complexity is exactly what gives rise to the freedom of choice in the first place. The idea that this freedom is not truly genuine quickly becomes a situation of being impossible to prove a negative, since without 100% total proof, which would require an omniscient (relative to human experience) level of understanding, you can always say that the proof isn't truly anything more than "an illusion". The argument becomes ridiculous and pointless.

> the brain is reshaped by the environment
Morality, laws, and customs are part of the environment, so it's odd you discount legal punishments as fake or irrelevant. Reminds me of an old paper that argued free will doesn't exist so the court system is pointless but it's still important for us smart educated people (the audience of the paper) to uphold it as a noble lie so people behave better because other studies concluded that people who don't believe in free will act in more social ways. Pretty funny, huh?

> So how do you explain individual bees sacrificing themselves for the larger hive?
How is this a point in your favor and not just more evidence of moralists mapping their predilections onto nature like a kind of pareidolia?

>>2837823
I'm not sure if we are actually disagreeing. My point is "morals" and "morality" are words humans use to label their inclination to prosocial behavior. It was the way people used to understand the innate urges to be prosocial before we fully understood evolution and our place in it. So humans will say they have behaved "morally" when they share their food with other humans. And when a chimp, bee or lion does the same thing the framing of morals can be invoked. So since it is the same behavior we could just use prosocial behavior as a direct standin for "morality."

>>2837611
Thereโ€™s no such thing as proletarian tax dollars btw. Only bourgeois tax dollars exist. The latter is true though.

>>2837836
OK, we do agree on a lot. Morality itself has more of a quasi-religious origin than I think you are giving credence to. The problem with ignoring and overlapping it with โ€œpro-social behaviorโ€ is that you are side stepping a lot of the baggage morality comes with. Historically it hasnโ€™t always been โ€œpro-socialโ€.

Karmelo Anthony case is proof that just swaths of black people and leftists believe you should just be able to murder white people for no fucking reason. This has been the case for a while (Martin, Neeley, Brown, CP5) but this case it's just come out brazenly in the open.

>>2837919
Thatโ€™s a very good question. Found this:

>There is growing concern that uncharacterized, minimally manipulated cellular preparations from different sources are being misrepresented as stem cells.40 The term โ€˜stem cellโ€™ specifically refers to rare cell populations in native tissue that are usually resting, not dividing. They are induced to divide infrequently, but when they divide they do so in a manner that is โ€˜asymmetricalโ€™. This division results in โ€˜self-renewalโ€™, with one cell returning to the resting state, and the other daughter cells expanding to generate cells, whose progeny can contribute to new tissue formation. Native tissue contains vastly more progenitor cells than stem cells and vastly more mature cells than progenitors. Under normal conditions, connective tissue progenitors (CTPs) are not detectable in human blood. In human bone marrow, a mean of one in 20,000 cells may be CTPs, with far fewer true upstream stem cells.41,42 The bottom line is that while it is possible to refer to blood and bone marrow-derived therapies as โ€˜cellularโ€™, if any true stem cells are transplanted they are one of the least common type of cell in the mixture. The use of the term โ€˜stem cell therapyโ€™ is therefore an inappropriate and intentionally misleading misuse of the term that should be purged from advertising materials.


>The term โ€˜mesenchymal stem cellsโ€™ is also misused in marketing and research literature, contributing to confusion. MSCs, now mesenchymal stromal cells, are defined by the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) as culture-expanded plastic adherent cells that have trilineage potential and express defined surface markers (Table I).45 Freshly isolated cells from tissue do not contain cells that meet these criteria. However, advertisements frequently lump together all the cells in native tissues that might contribute to either repair or immunomodulation under the banner of MSCs. This conflation between information known about the attributes and performance of culture-expanded MSCs and the highly heterogeneous and rare population of connective tissue stem and progenitors (CTPs) that are available in native tissues has resulted in considerable confusion among scientists, patients, clinicians and regulators.46 Commercial bodies have seized on confusion in nomenclature to market unproven cell therapies for an inappropriate range of applications.40 This feeds the misunderstanding on the part of patients and some providers that stem cells principally act to replace damaged and lost cells to restore normal function, despite limited clinical or preclinical evidence of long-term engraftment into musculoskeletal tissues, using cells from any source. It is becoming increasingly clear that the primary mechanism of action of transplanted cells is via a paracrine effect, by which the cells produce cytokines and other mediators that affect the local tissue environment, stimulating local, and perhaps distant host cells, to produce their biological effect.47,48 However, much ongoing research attempts to establish methods of increasing engraftment efficacy.49,50 These concepts are largely lost and poorly understood by those offering these therapies.

>Freedom cities, which are a type of master-planned community, could involve building a residential community on undeveloped federal land. As a candidate, Trump said he would arrange a "national contest" to "award these charters to the best ideas and proposals for development."


>Trump has shared few details about the concept. No freedom city has made tangible progress towards construction, although groups focused on this issue have begun drafting legislation to push the idea forward, the publication WIRED reported in March.


>The Frontier Foundation, a policy group focused on "freedom cities," said in a statement to PolitiFact that this a priority in the White House and a "bipartisan priority within Congress."


>"Discussions are happening," a spokesperson said in a statement. "Drafts are circulating. This promise will be fulfilled."


>Technology investors promoted establishing a "freedom city" in Greenland, if the U.S. acquired it, Reuters reported in April.


>Despite such discussion, any efforts to make freedom cities a reality are in their early stages. There is no current legislation mentioning "freedom cities," according to searches of Congress.gov, Congress's legislative tracking system. In previous congresses, legislation addressing federal land and energy development has been introduced in 2022 and 2023, but none of these bills passed the House.


>And Trump hasn't lent any rhetorical weight to the idea recently.


>Searches of FactBase, an archive of all of Trump's public remarks, show that Trump has not mentioned "freedom cities" since 2023, when he first made the promise as a candidate. Google searches also uncovered no mention of freedom cities by Trump or the White House since he began his second term.


>The White House did not respond to a request for comment on whether any advancements have been made to create "freedom cities."


>It's possible that the preliminary work undertaken by outside groups will eventually be reflected in tangible developments such as legislation or an executive order; if that happens, we'll revise our analysis. But for now, this promise earns a rating of Stalled.

Iโ€™m mean itโ€™s true they all suck, but I really donโ€™t think a city designed by libertarians and conservatives is a good idea. I think they would easily find a way to make it the worst one somehow.

The whole premise of the nu-right is "The quality of media is bad, we will make it good" but they don't even seem to care about mechanics of games, I doubt they care about the quality of stories either.

one could certainly use the nonexistence of free will as an excuse to behave in an antisocial way, and there may even be a correlation, but that is not what I am advocating at all

>>2837759
after getting sleep i want to add that I think any real discussion about freedom needs to distinguish between negative freedom (freedom from exploitation for example) from positive freedom (freedom to do whatever you feel like, even if that infringes upon the so called freedom of others). free will however is a different question. if by free will you simply mean the Engels definition of having a functioning brain that is capable of recognizing necessity and acting in accordance with it, sure that exists, but it seems misleading to call that "free will." In the same way that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor roman nor an empire, this kind of "free will" is neither free nor will. If by free will someone means the original Christian definition, i.e. the capacity to act independently of stimuli, given to each soul by God, then that is a spook.

>>2838011
>of course the kmt were fascist
not really, they were bourgeois revolutionaries. fascists serve a different historical function. bourgeois revolutuionaries introduce capitalism and bourgeois social relations to a feudal or semi-feudal social order, like in Qing China. What fascists do is divert revolutionary energy into counter-revolutionary organizations in an already highly developed capitalist situation.

>>2838011
>but they organized with Leninist tactics
Lenin just read Clausewitz for military tactics anyway. And Clausewitz was a bourgeois Prussian who was fluent in German idealism and dialectics.

elon musk is declared the worlds first trillionaire

>Elon Musk becomes world's first trillionaire as SpaceX shares jump

The jump in SpaceXโ€™s share price today, as its floats on the US stock market, means Elon Musk has become the worldโ€™s first trillionaire.

>His 38% stake in SpaceX is now worth around $800bn, after they jumped 20% in early trading, with the whole companyโ€™s valuation now over $2tn.


>Musk also owns just over 10% of Tesla, a stake worth $165bn, plus options to acquire another nearly 8% stake, worth $114bn according to Forbesโ€™s calculations.


>Forbes had calculated Muskโ€™s wealth at around $980bn before SpaceXโ€™s shares started trading, so it would only have taken a small rise in the share price today to hit the one-trillion dollar figure.


>Musk also owns stakes in his brain interface startup Neuralink and his tunneling firm Boring Company, plus has wealth from previous Tesla share sales.


>Reminder: Oxfam has warned that the jump in Muskโ€™s wealth to over a trillion dollars marks โ€˜a dark day for democracyโ€™.

that's the only case where it's uncensored. this is because marx called ferdinand lassalle that in a private letter to engels in 1862. for a few years conservatives and anti communists would bring this up in bad faith as if they were suddenly paragons of woke, so mods uncensored it as an easter egg.

Honestly I think such people are not much more than an annoyance. Those who treat socialism and class struggle as a practical exercise in building a movement guided by materialist analysis and meaningful practice will advance. Those who treat it as an exercise in personal moral superiority and virtue signalling will fail. The biggest problem with such an outlook is how corrosive it is to productive discussion at the early stages, before there is a real movement that shows the path forward.

>>2838166

>>2838197
Sabocat you've always had a level head in this stuff and I admire that, however as you yourself acknowledge I find it hard to believe that the movement can advance as long as the virtue signaling types remain, not only do they destroy present discussions but I think they sow the seeds of this idea that "Well this is how Communists are supposed to act" or something along those lines. It's sort of like that hypothesis that a lot of Cointelpro stuff now is automatic, people inheriting disruptive tactics pushed by feds but thinking "well that's how the movement is supposed to be."

unrelated but has anyone here ever been to China.

At this point I don't even try to debate them. The only thing worth saying to them is pointing out that they're worthless, virtue signaling losers. 5 years ago I would never have thought of that about other communists, people who I should see as comrades and allies. Now after years of dealing these kinds of people both online and irl I absolutely despise them.

Sometimes I get upsetting intrusive thoughts that if fascists killed these people then maybe the movement would actually progress.

>>2838260
I don't want 'em dead, but yeah I see what you mean.

Like they have absolutely zero concern for the people around them. They have a supposed or vocalized concern for "mankind" in the abstract, or some distant people they don't speak to, but the thing is Communists in the past who felt that strongly about those things would actually, y'know, go abroad and fight. I was reading Stephen King's book on writing and he mentions, I believe, having a family friend who died after moving abroad to fight in some Socialist guerilla movement in Latin America. I can respect that, but when it's just "Death to Amerikkka" from the comfort of an apartment and from people who don't do any fighting themselves, it feels ridiculous.

>>2838262
>I don't want 'em dead
Neither do I, hence why said intrusive thoughts are upsetting to me.

The thing that vexes me about it personally is that…like, we're communists right? "Community" is literally part of our name. We dont have to necessarily like each other but we do have to work together for the greater good of society and ourselves. But here enters this particular type of malcontent, the Schizo Maximalist. The Schizo Maximalist has a preconceived idea of what communism is and their ideal society, as well as actions to be taken to reach these. If someone deviates ever so slightly then they may as well be on the same side as a murderous neo-nazi. This includes other Communists who might dare to watch or reference a piece of pop culture, or live in a house, are white/black/Indian, attended college…the list goes on and on. The Schizo Maximalist, in trying to be a purist, has engaged in a revisionism of his own in the form of purity spiraling over things irrelevant to communism. If one of your comrades watches soccer or talks about the new Superman movie, for most Communists that's not even something really to care about. At most, one might say "well I'm not really into superhero shit anyways, a lot of that genre is kinda fash coded because blah blah blah" and like that's an understandable position and one that can be debated. The Schizo Maximalist, however, sees such a person and their first thought is to brutally murder them and then proudly display their bodies first to their comrades and then to other "enemies", with anyone reacting with disgust or confusion also being enemies to be killed. The ultimate goal of the Schizo Maximalist is to have a "cadre" of maybe five or six terminally online guys who are perpetually mad about everything, hate society, hate humanity (while simultaneously claiming to be doing this on behalf of humanity), and thereby alienating everyone from the left who isn't as maladjusted as they are. Which is just fine for them, they love the idea of more "reactionaries" to kill, but there's at most a dozen of them vs 340 million Americans. Who do you think is more likely to win in a protracted struggle, especially when the former group is adamant that everyone outside of them is a reactionary to be killed?

Anyways, TLDR Schizo Maximalism should be treated as a form of wrecker behavior

>>2838270
Bingo.

The schizo maximalists like Felix, chagos, caveman anon, edgelords on tumblr and bsky, etc etc etc, are a fucking embarrassment, and itโ€™s who people associate with us.

Scottish bourgeois economist says neoliberalism is transitioning to national capitalism and shouts out Lenin. MUST READ article if you want to understand the state of global finance

>Q: And that would conform to your definition of financial repression?


<A: Yes. I say we are headed towards a system of national capitalism. Interestingly, the term โ€นnational capitalismโ€บ has been used before, by a man who used to live in Zurich for a while: his name was Lenin. In a system of national capitalism, governments direct national savings towards national purposes. And our purposes today are investments, as outlined by Macron or Draghi and also by industrial policy initiatives in the US: Investments in energy infrastructure, in defense, in new productive capacity in order to de-risk from China. If we get into a bad Cold War with China, this will have a high national priority.


>Q: You mentioned that you see the world moving towards a system of national capitalism. This would upend everything that most investors today take for granted: free flow of capital, market based bond yields, and the like.


<A: Yes. The most important part is the idea that national savings shall be used for national purposes. There will be a big push to repatriate capital, back to Europe and back to Japan, for example. The other part is that we need to understand how much of the current world financial system is based on China and its decision in 1994 to manage its currency against the dollar. After the 1997-98 Asian Financial Crisis, most Asian countries started to do the same thing. The result was an exponential growth in dollar reserves. These were all non-price-sensitive buyers of Treasuries and other US assets. This huge flow of capital has pushed interest rates down and equity prices up. Today, 58.5 trillion dollars worth of American assets are owned by foreigners. Arguably, this system started falling apart in 2014, when global forex reserves peaked. Itโ€™s now coming to an end, because itโ€™s not working for China anymore. China has reached the end of the rope, both in terms of its total debt to GDP and also in terms of the rest of the world not willing to absorb Chinaโ€™s overproduction anymore. Historically, every thirty or forty years monetary systems collapse. The current one, the one we have lived with since 1994, is collapsing in front of our eyes.


>Q: What will the new world financial order look like?


<L: Letโ€™s deal with China first. China will separate from the rest. They will want to adopt a truly independent monetary policy, a policy that will need to be much looser in order for them to address their domestic economic problems and to inflate away their domestic debt. They would simply say the exchange rate is no longer a target. As a consequence of that, I forecast that their currency will fall. Many observers think China can form a new system with their โ€นalliesโ€บ. But for that to happen, we would need to see the holdings of the renminbi as a reserve asset going up. We get data on that every quarter from the IMF, and it shows that itโ€™s not happening. Beijing may be setting up a system where countries can settle trade in renminbi, but so far, all the evidence we have is that nobody wants to hold renminbi as a reserve asset.

all i see is people who complain they're eating shit every day but scream at anyone who suggests going to a different restaurant, or cooking at home.

>>2838299
rookie numbers. i need that shit 90%

like the whole thing is people who eat shit at the restaurant that serves shit, and they refuse to go anywhere else, and they're sick of shit, but every time the owner comes out and says "we're finally serving something that isn't shit on a plate" they get excited, only to be disappointed at finding out it's shit on a plate again, and have been doing this for literally generations of complaining about shit.

except for the part where the people eating shit don't meaningfully try to move away from it either.
like i said, it's apathy and shallow signalling far more than a serious desire to change things. They'll keep shoveling it down their gullet holes, going insane from time to time, as long as they're just allowed to keep complaining.

>>2838324
>the people eating shit don't meaningfully try to move away from it either.
Are you not seeing both ends of the political spectrum radicalizing? Centrist candidates are being thrown out. In the 90s political careers ended over candid photos with un-wifed women, now maine is projected to elect a guy with a totenkampf tattoo who said he'd rape whoever tried burglarizing his house. the political environment is rapidly changing in ways not seen since the 1920s and 30s and look where that ended up

Reading all the posts of foreigners coming to the U.S. for World Cup tourism and basically being adopted by the locals has been unironically wholesome.

Also for any foreigners visiting (unlikely given its leftypol) a few ranges out here let you rent guns to shoot with, could be a fun activity in your downtime.

i somewhat expect marxists to be massacred and/or sent to death camps before any kind of marxist revolution occurs. america is too attached to its imperialism to simply abandon it. americans themselves would sooner kill their neighbor than lose their treats.

>>2838355
I say 'revolution' broadly, not specifically a communist one. A civil war would be a revolution. When one begins here there will be many interests at play in the beginning, some Porky interests too, like Steve bannon calling himself a leninist that wants to smash the state, or the Techbros who want to do away with the state to set up their new tech cities in libertarian anarchy. To a certain extent competing interests need to be discredited first before enough attention is turned to the marxists

all the hating on platner it's a waste of resources, waste of energy and waste of time.
there are more worrisome actors. lindsay graham was re-elected. but I see no screeching about that.
I said it once, I say it again; if platner is true, he has repented, there's no point in hitting on him.

>>2838424
don't they understand…

there's a cheeto in the white house

>>2838424
>he has repented
How though? Everyone keeps saying this. What has he actually done besides coming home from a career of imperial goonery to idk fish or some shit. And then suddenly decide to go around talking about how's a total lefty now? Call me crazy, but just comes across as a hard sell to me.

>>2838425
it's not only the cheeto man….
it's the lindsay grahams, it's the fettermans, it's the kirsten sinemas, it's the virginia foxxs, the mike lee, the supreme court…
fixating on a guy who at least came out to advance some bare minimum litmus test, despite his background, it's not, on my mind, the thing to do.
granted, when revolution comes, and if really aims for accountability, platner will be held accountable, too, but also considering his change. but only once the worse actors are gone, before, and suffer a worst outcome, like execution by a firing squad or the electric chair.

>>2838424
Platner stole the senate seat from the TRVE revolutionary anti-zionist anti-imperialist leftist: Janet Mills. Who was also a woman

speak ๐Ÿ‘ your ๐Ÿ‘ truth ๐Ÿ‘

you are so right and valid. right now is just not the time for all that wrecker leftist bullshit.

>>2838428
>Janet Mills
false, platner is more to the left of mills by a large stretch. in ukraine platner stated that the US regime is on a 'military adventurism' operation in ukraine, something mills never acknowledged.
on Gaza/Palestine; she would have a problem with any bill so broad that it could block Iron Dome or other defensive weapons for Israel, and in Bowdoin comments she called Gaza โ€œhorrific and unnecessary and cruelโ€ but stopped short of calling it genocide; platner, by contrast, calls Gaza a genocide, says he will not take AIPAC money, and says he stands for ending it through any means.
even on local issues platner is more left-leaning than mills, mills is more punitive for drug use; platner proposes cannabis legalization, while mills opposed any decrominizaling drug possession.
why do you come here to spread lies.

another 100000000x years of platner discourse as if he's fucking jesus come to create the USSA
just shoot me

>>2838426
If you have become awakened to the evils of america's endless imperialist wars of aggression after fighting in one yourself, is there a more significant action you can take to redeem yourself and put a roadblock in the way of rapacious imperialism than winning a senate position to make sure that for the rest of your life you can try to prevent the next war from happening? Not that I think he has taken that much of anti-war position during his campaign, and I expect him to be a-okay with democrat president wars when they come up, but you know hypothetically.

>>2838571
>fascist "sport" soKKKer
lol. out of curiosity what hobbies or sports do you think are not fascist?

>>2838573
What other sport has, as it's fanbase, roving gangs of neo-nazis who celebrate every game by getting drunk and attacking minority youth and/or rioting?

SoKKKer is unique, because of FIFA. FIFA is inseparable from soKKKer. FIFA is a fascist mafia and not even soKKKer fans will deny this, yet they still shovel money into FIFA's gullet every day.

SoKKKer is so insanely fascist that even Myles would be considered a Communist in European soKKKer "ultra" circles. The entire Ukrainian far right was specifically recruited from soKKKer ultras to do the Maidan in 2014. I have no doubt that the CIA and FIFA work together to cultivate these fascist gangs, which are very useful for the bourgeoisie.

So where are the rugby ultras? Where are the baseball ultras? Where are the cricket ultras? They do not exist. Why? Why is it JUST soKKKer that has roving gangs of riotous neo-nazis as it's core fanbase? What is it about the sport that specifically draws fascists to it, and no other?

Soccer hooligans is just mob mentality latching onto some random ball kicking game. Ancient Romans and Byzantines did the same thing with chariot racing. Chariot gang violence lead to the Nika Riots that ended up with Justinian killing 30,000 people. So that sort of behavior is not specifically fascist considering history.
