If the sphere demanded tribute from you to delay his ending of your miserable life (and so the beginning of an eternity of horrors too vast for any human tongue to express), which tribute would you offer forth?

note that should you offer something you cannot deliver, the sphere would be most displeased and this would likely have a negative effect on your afterlife.

What does /leftybritpol/ think of Paul Cockshott?
I see his work posted on the site all the time outside of this general.
Everytime I read something by him it starts off well but it ends up going in a bizarre reactionary direction on social issues.
Is there anyone who analyses British politics/economics that you'd recommend reading who doesn't come off as a decrepit bigot at a moments notice?

 No.3444

his proposed tax on the childless remains one of the dumbest policies ever committed to paper.

>b-but the USSR and Romania did it. Based Romania even banned abortion!
Romania's plan was ill thought out and stopped working when women discovered coathangers, the USSR was facing demographic crisis after WW2 while staring down a war with the USA. Neither of these scenarios are used to justify cockgun's suggestion, which is put forward as a permanent peacetime policy. on moral and resource allocation grounds that selectively pick out parts of a cycle and then frame it in the way that maximises resentment. (literally the only reason to have a specific childless tax rather than child benefit from a common tax pool is to make clear you are penalizing the childless for being childless.)

He literally views them as a drain on society because they don't have enough children.

 No.3461

>>27115
Is that really it though? I’ve only read TANS and a few other bits mind, but his language tends to be very dispassionate. It’s a cold analysis. He would probably not see them as a “drain” but it is a fact that they don’t have children and children are necessary for the reproduction of society, that is unpaid labour that many if not most women do for everybody else at some point on their lives. A tax on the childless would also I imagine not be based on your sexuality, a straight childless person would also be subject to such a tax if they were childless. I agree it sounds like a dumb tax but I can’t really see it as homophobic. Although coming from the unpaid female labour angle, why shouldn’t women who do have children not be compensated for this labour? Do we have to tax the childless for that I’m not sure

 No.3462

(Another way this is weird is- a lot of women can’t have children and it is a source of great pain for them, would they then be taxed?) sounds like Cockshotts typical sperg nature. Like a very ruthless materialist analysis but emotionally bereft

Even if it's not "hating" the LGBT+ community, it is still not a good stance to take.

I think all mothers should receieve the help they need.
Don't know about compensation though. Do we even need many a lot of new children? Our population is so vast already, so should having children even be incentivised?
If having children is incentivised, what would stop many women from choosing to raise kids instead of working in other areas? Pregnancy and childcare is not easy, in fact it's dangerous, yet it seems some women are happy to have as many children as they can - even when under capitalism childcare can greatly set back your career.
I was in Wigan for work recently and the size of families was shocking, quite a few patients had 7 children. If that's what people are like under the current circumstances, imagine what they'd be like under corcumstances where they are greatly incentivised to have them.

Again, women should be fully supported in their health, and care of children.

Do you think women should only be given the compensation for raising children? Or will men who decide to take on that responsibility instead also be compensated?

Tbh without explicut rules for how the hypothetical society functions, speculating is very limited. How much is the compensation? Is it the same as a wage earned through other work? Are all jobs paid the same? Etc.

Sexuality being removed takes the point away from the initial discussion. I was reading an article by Cockshott where he decribed how 3 of Corbyn's actions are a step away from socialism. He comes across as a straight up TERF (going out of his way to misgender the people he acknowledges are trans in that same paragraph).
I'm not one to get hung up on identity politics, but Cockshott seems to take pride in being reactionary on these issues every chance he gets.
Identity politics may not be the path to socialism, but there is nothing inherently anti-left wing about them on their own.

OC is very rare and the board has descended to one line posts of flame and bile whilst obvious trolls get the most entertained threads.

Tbh ever since ditching Sky and TV in general I've barely watched any movies, mostly just been watching youtube videos and anime.
Sage you got any recommendation for Christmas films to watch or just your favourite films in general.

On an unrelated note you're in a tenants union right? Could you give me a quick rundown on what goes on in a tenants union cause I was thinking of joining my local union after Covid gets sorted.

 No.3569

I watched avatar and the iron giant yesterday. Not christmas films but feel good family films that also fill you with rage at US empire. Shrek is also pretty based. Watch 1/2 the other day. Been on the childrens film kick to feel cosy and comfy over the holidays. Also its very soothing on the mind compared to some edgelord film i'd usually watch in the vane of fighclub etc.

In terms of tenants unions, are you talking about Acorn? Or are you a non bong? There is a whole lot I could say, it is my favorite topic of conversation kek. It probably varies union to union, but mostly you are trying to build power and membership by winning victories for tenants. These can be either small individual things like repairs not getting done, resisting an eviction, trying to get a rent reduction- these will mostly be against private landlords, or they can be collective issues, collective issues are usally gonna be against a large corporate landlord or a social landlord i.e. the state of some private/public partnership of death. The small issues tend to be more common, but the collective ones are where you get the big wins. You can expect to research local housing law, do pickets and other protests, perhaps more creative. A lot of it is situation dependent.

If you ask me more specific questions I can give much better answrs

Thanks for the recommendations Sage, Shrek 1/2 are always a classic.

I'm in London ,I don't think Acorn organises here (tfw can't join Acorn-ML), so I'll join London Renters Union instead. Rearching housing laws and joining pickets seem pretty chill.

How much of your time does tenant organising take? Since currently I'm a student so I would have to balance my studies with organising. I assume it probably doesn't take that much of your time since most members would have 9-5 jobs

>>3570
oh I also actually watched national lampoons christmas vacation. A dumb chevy chase slapstick film, but lighthearted, and at the end it turns out the climax of the film of the guy kidnapping his boss, so some leftist undertones.

Also, Acorn if I am not mistaken have finally decided to organise in London, I think they had their first meeting recently. It might be borough specific but worth checking out definitely. Other than that sure LRU could also do with more people and they are also affiliated to Living Rent (we have done joint campaigns etc)

In terms of time, it can take as little or as much as you want. I am quite involved, so it can take up anywhere from 10-20/30 hours in a week, depending on the week and whats going on. But you could be a useful member doing 4-8 hours ish a week. The key is to do the things you say will do. Being reliable to do one small task ever week or 2 is better than unreliably taking on a lot

Yeah checked out the Acorn website and they have a branch all the way in north london which is quite far from where I live, however their website did mention if there's no local branch they would help me set one up. Although I'm not sure it would be a good idea for a total beginner like me to set up a branch immediately, maybe after I've spent some time in LRU I could set up an Acorn branch. To be honest I'm quite surprised there aren't many London Acorn branches but I assume its because LRU sucks up a lot of potential members.

Glad to see that the time commitment is flexible, I'll probably start off with doing a few hours a week and build up from there, don't wanna do 30 hours immediately and burn myself out. Thanks for the information Sage, hopefully we get more posters talking in this thread and in .org in general

they might have several people who live in your area thinking the same thing, worth giving them a message just to see what the craic is. The reason they didn't start off in London was basically peoples war, I think they wanted to build up the model and resources before taking on the final boss.

 No.3574

You make a fair point about others in the area probably thinking the same since I checked out LRU's website and it seems like they don't have a branch in my borough either, so my borough seems to be virgin land for a tenants union branch to be established.

New Michael Roberts article.
https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2020/12/29/the-brexit-deal/
>The UK is a country of bankers, lawyers, accountants and media people, rather than engineers, builders and manufacturers. The UK has a huge top-heavy banking sector, but a small manufacturing sector compared to other G7 economies.

>What about the impact on working people? On leaving the EU, what little British labour has gained from EU regulations will be in jeopardy within a country which is already the most deregulated in the OECD. The EU rules included a 48-hour week maximum (riddled with exemptions); health and safety regulations; regional and social subsidies; science funding; environmental checks; and of course, above all, free movement of labour. All that is going or being minimised.

>[…] Most sober estimates of the impact of leaving the EU suggest that the UK economy will grow more slowly in real terms than it would have done if it had remained a member. Mainstream economic institutes, including the Bank of England, reckon that there would be a cumulative loss in real GDP for the UK over the next ten to 15 years of between 4-10% of GDP from leaving the EU; or about 0.4% points off annual GDP growth. That’s a cumulative 3% of GDP loss per person, equivalent to about £1000 per person per year.

>[…] And then of course, the COVID pandemic has decimated business activity. In 2020., the UK will suffer the largest fall in GDP among major economies apart from Spain and recover more slowly than others in 2021.

>British capitalism was already slipping badly before the pandemic hit. Its trade deficit with the rest of the world had widened to around 6% of GDP; and real GDP growth had slid back from over 2% a year to below 1.5%, with industrial production crawling along at 1%. The UK economy already had weak investment and productivity growth compared with the 1990s and with other OECD countries.

>[…] But maybe the UK can confound these dismal forecasts, as the government claims, because UK industry and the City of London can now expand across the world ‘free from the shackles’ of EU regulation. And it is increasingly clear how it thinks it can do this – by turning Britain into a tax and regulation-free base for foreign multinationals. The government is planning ‘free ports’ or zones; areas with little to no tax in order to encourage economic activity. While located geographically within a country, they essentially exist outside its borders for tax purposes. Companies operating within free ports can benefit from deferring the payment of taxes until their products are moved elsewhere or can avoid them altogether if they bring in goods to store or manufacture on site before exporting them again.

>Unfortunately, for the government, studies show that free ports might simply defer the point when taxes are paid, as imports would still need to reach final customers across the country. And the incentives may also promote the relocation of activity that would have taken place anyway, from one part of the UK to another. Moreover, tax breaks could mean a loss of revenue for the Treasury. And free ports risk facilitating money laundering and tax evasion, as goods are usually not subject to checks that are standard elsewhere. A deregulated Britain will not restore economic growth, let alone good, well-paid jobs for an educated and skilled workforce. It will only boost the profits of multi-nationals, using cheap, unskilled labour.

>In sum, the Brexit deal is another obstacle to sustained economic growth for Britain. But the COVID pandemic slump and the underlying weakness of British capital are much more damaging to the UK’s economic future than Brexit. Brexit is just an extra burden for British capital to face; as it also will be for British households.

They didn't actually genocide them, genetic and archaeological evidence reveals there was no actual genocide of the Romano-Britons, the Anglo-Saxons simply became the ruling class over the celts.

also, the chief executive of the party is still Sturgeon's husband, so if someone outside her faction wins he could probably do a bit of wrecking.

they vote SNP or Green because Scottish Labour is the most incompetent (and from ~2011-2020 most right-wing) part of labour. there is a small but notable group of people who vote SNP despite opposing independence because they like their domestic policies.
Scottish Labour has been doing the sideshow bob bit of stepping on rakes over and over and over again since 1999, from the introduction of tuition fees only to pretend to abolish them (by charging them at the end of the course rather than while it was ongoing) to their decision to build their scottish parliamentary team out of overpromoted councillors, to their opposition to the full abolition of fees and of prescription charges, to backstabbing their own leader over a minor scandal because she was willing to fight an independence referendum in the 2007-2011 parliament and would've given the SNP the votes it needed to hold one, to Jackie Baillie decrying the SNP's "something for nothing" welfarism, to making Jackie Baillie leader at all…

the exact moment of their death can be timed to their decision to campaign alongside the Conservatives as part of Better Together. Scottish Labour linked hands with the Scottish Tories and dutifully fell to the same level of popular support.

[spoiler]I don't say this out of any particular affinity for the SNP, it's just that Scottish Labour is a cautionary tale in getting literally everything wrong. For all nationalists (and Jackie Baillie) mock it as being a branch office of UK Labour, it would be a hell of a lot better run if it was.[/spoiler]

Long live the plague.
There's nothing that gets these feral dogs more riled up than the thought of a boot covered in coronavirus, they love it. Give them what they want. Socialist intervention is denying the right to self determination of the British public, who want nothing more than a boot covered in plague. Any real Brit should be absolutely pleased that the coronavirus continues to rampage through the country, it being the manifestation of the will of the people.

Seeking consensus in circumstances such as these is always a good way to get merked by those who're more willing to take decisive action.
And it shouldn't be forgotten that the administration of this site has been much more consensual in its mode of operation than that of the rump .xyz. The decision to nuke the boards was one .xyz mod's own personal initiative, which was rewarded but not sanctioned in advance.
Very few posters agree with perpetuating the split, yet they've decided to do this on the whims of one admin who's very obviously had his feelings hurt by the other mods and who doesn't even personally have the capacity to run the site and has been reduced to e-begging for funds to outsource site development.

I'd love to know by what logic you're assigning collective responsibility for the actions of a single person, performed entirely of their own initiative.
Let's take a lateral look at it: Deleting the posts is very obviously the proximate cause of space's departure. Even if the split were to end in d0llars caligulan empire winning out, that would still have made the deletion of the posts a victory for the community as a whole compared to an alternative where space stuck around.

>>3795
Pray tell how you would've implemented consensus building apparatus in the face of Space's refusal to give admin access. Don't say an off-site Matrix, there is a notable segment of the userbase which will never use Discord for RMS. Something integrated with the board, that the actual anons who use it can contribute to rather than just those willing to join off-site cliques.

That a split initially occurred was a failure on all sides, that the split is perpetuated is very obviously the fault only of one individual: d0llars. You can sit on the sidelines discussing the apportionment of blame if you want to, I'm much more interested in how we end the split. In the face of d0llars rejection of any merger suggestions there are three options: .org wins, d0llars wins, or the split continues and we all lose.democratic_socialismDemocratic Socialism

this was not the case before a long term smear campaign and you know it.

How about instead of these smears you mods had spelt out why it was important. But you didn't, wonder why that could be.

> Something integrated with the board,

>that the actual anons who use it can contribute to rather than just those willing to join off-site cliques.
hahahaha but a mod chat isn't a clique somehow. Puh-lease.

>That a split initially occurred was a failure on all sides,
indeed

>that the split is perpetuated is very obviously the fault only of one individual: d0llars.
no, come on.

>I'm much more interested in how we end the split.
and yet, you are completely unwilling it seems to admit that maybe some neutral ground neither party controls is needed for this, despite already admitting there is blame on both sides.

To say there was originally fault on both sides and then after say, but after that, the perpetuation of the split was entirely the fault of one side, is just plain petulant. If the root is mouldy, the whole flower is tainted.

>org wins, d0llars wins, or the split continues and we all lose.

Mate I know I'm the most powerful poster in all incarnations of /leftypol/, but despite my best efforts off-site cliquery continues to exist. If I had my way there would be no matrix whatsoever, mods could communicate on-board like normal people. (If they really must have their private conversations, let them do so on a hidden board.)
>this was not the case before a long term smear campaign and you know it.
It absolutely was. It wasn't an off-site smear campaign that made me dislike chatrooms, that's a taste i've had long before /leftypol/ in any incarnation.

[spoiler]except, of course, that I disapproved of your ban on bunkerchan, since my view is that your Matrix would simply be a waste of timme rather than something harmful.[/spoiler]
>mod speak for under your control
It's a shame you've posted so regularly, Sage, otherwise I could dignify this with the assumption that you were malicious rather than simply naive.
Any of the off-the-shelf off-site solutions are either trivial to manipulate (strawpolls) or wind up excluding the average imageboard user, who isn't going to join the discord, the subreddit, the matrix, the official IRC, the alt.communism.leftypol usenet group and the /leftypol/ neocities webring. You trade manipulation from admins for manipulation by an unrepresentative sample of the userbase, and one which is much more likely to see the imageboard as something secondary than as the lifeblood of the entire project.
>no, come on.
Go ahead and explain how someone other than d0llars (who now controls bunkerchan) ends the split, I'll wait.
>and yet, you are completely unwilling it seems to admit that maybe some neutral ground neither party controls is needed for this
No such thing is necessary, and further: No neutral ground among the userbase is of any use because the userbase do not control the websites, and it's the websites where the bulk of the users post. You could hypothetically transplant the entire userbase of all /leftypol/ incarnations to your Matrix and it would be useless in the face of one simple fact: d0llars controls the bunkerchan servers, if he doesn't want to merge then nobody can force him to.
>To say there was originally fault on both sides and then after say, but after that, the perpetuation of the split was entirely the fault of one side, is just plain petulant.
One side has undergone regime change, the other has not. The gulf between space and the former moderators was impossible to bridge after the split, with space out of the picture that should no longer be a factor - and yet it is.
>yes after you wrecked it like jesus christ.
I did no such thing, but I approve it wholeheartedly: For every one poster who is oh-so-upset about culpability, two will come here because it just works. If the administration of bunkerchan are so incompetent that they can't deal with one mod going rogue then there's no hope for them against anything else. One hard drive crash and Watermelon's actions will look as insignificant as a single 500 error.democratic_socialismDemocratic Socialism

yes which is much better, regardless of the fact I believe people should be informed of the voting process and actively encouraged to join it. Rather than the complete opposite which is what takes place now, smearing and blocking all attempts at some kind of board input.

>Go ahead and explain how someone other than d0llars (who now controls bunkerchan) ends the split, I'll wait.

>d0llars controls the bunkerchan servers, if he doesn't want to merge then nobody can force him to.
except if we had the whole poster base we could take real material action.

>and yet it is.
why do you think this is? Because dollars is muh ebil boogeyman? Or perhaps… because… wounds were made on both sides and amends needs to be made? Maye possibly?

> For every one poster who is oh-so-upset about culpability, two will come here because it just works.
extremely short term thinking. For a socdem and all "ah, I see the completely unrepresentative body has done one thing kind of okay, therefore they will do this into the future, despite the fact their methods were extremely antithetical what they outwardly project as their image as poor battered mods who just want the best for the posters " Yes i am sure these people would never do anything to harm the posters…

It is grossly impractical to shepherd the userbase into a talking shop. It's all well and good talking about this in a neat theoretical sense, but you have no way to engineer the circumstances necessary to bring it about. If it was a matter of just asking people to come over then the split would already have been resolved in someone's favour.
>the board 2015/16 had plenty chatrooms
And they've died while the board endured, because the board is the heart of the board. (Who knew?)
>much more difficult to manipulate than anon boards.
lel. you've really never fucked with strawpolls?
>if you don't want to vote that is okay. If it is made plain this is happening and you want to vote you can get involved.
This is the imageboard version of voter ID laws. Who could possibly object to simply telling people that there's an election on, tell them how to vote, and then putting a slight barrier in their way? The practical result of the barrier is that plenty of people will not vote. Disenfranchisement without the messy implications of actually admitting that's what it is.
I will not join a chatroom sever to vote, even with a throwaway account. Plenty of others have the same behavior, and if you try to explain their reasons why it will invite the arrogant to say "Well if they're too lazy to make an account, they don't deserve a vote!" as though it's fine to misrepresent the userbase so long as it's only to exclude people born with bad traits.
>yes which is much better
Highly questionable. Admins at least have skin in the game in that if they fuck up and ignore the userbase, the userbase will fuck off and they'll be left king of fuck all. An unrepresentative sample of the userbase is much harder to reason with, and will continue to argue against the wishes of the userbase as a whole. Better to live under a tribune of the plebs than a pre-1832 parliament.
>mods from both boards and posters from both boards get in a matrix room and come to a solution.
If d0llars was willing to discuss a solution there would be a thread for that purpose on Bunkerchan right now. Instead, he locked the last one when it was less than 10% full and doesn't even allow discussion in the current variation.
I don't believe he's a monster, I believe he's an idiot.
>except if we had the whole poster base we could take real material action.
Do you really believe the entire userbase is going to follow the call to action of a chatroom most of them will promptly ignore? Especially when the practical options are basically limited to: move to one site, attack one site, stay in the chatroom, or start a third site.
>Because dollars is muh ebil boogeyman? Or perhaps… because… wounds were made on both sides and amends needs to be made? Maye possibly?
Perhaps he should get the fuck over himself, this community is more important than his hurt feelings and if he's not straining every sinew to bring it back together then I can only lament that his wounds aren't physical.

*which of course doesn't make them liars - there are many legitimate reasons that they may not have wanted to do so even if he was guilty - but there are far fewer legitimate reasons for the Scottish Government to ignore their expressed wishes in the hopes of kneecapping the former first minister.democratic_socialismDemocratic Socialism

At a time when like 40% of the population is working from home, hard x to doubt on that one.

>It is necessary that this appearance be abolished – that landed property, the root of private property, be dragged completely into the movement of private property and that it become a commodity; that the rule of the proprietor appear as the undisguised rule of private property, of capital, freed of all political tincture; that the relationship between proprietor and worker be reduced to the economic relationship of exploiter and exploited; that all […] personal relationship between the proprietor and his property cease, property becoming merely objective, material wealth; that the marriage of convenience should take the place of the marriage of honor with the land; and that the land should likewise sink to the status of a commercial value, like man. It is essential that that which is the root of landed property – filthy self-interest – make its appearance, too, in its cynical form. It is essential that the immovable monopoly turn into the mobile and restless monopoly, into competition; and that the idle enjoyment of the products of other people’s blood and sweat turn into a bustling commerce in the same commodity. Lastly, it is essential that in this competition landed property, in the form of capital, manifest its dominion over both the working class and the proprietors themselves who are either being ruined or raised by the laws governing the movement of capital.

You use popular anger to say "yeah, you are being exploited and being made to pay unjust poll taxes, but here's the bigger picture", you don't tell them they're wrong, because they're not wrong to be angry about poll taxes or housing.

Jesus people in this thread like arguing about mundane things. Yes, renter strikes and abolishing rent are not going to end capitalism. However, housing is the issue workers are currently getting radicalised over. Revolutions don't always start because of the direct issue, the peasant's revolt started over taxes and ended as the demand to abolish serfdom, the English civil war started of about loans and ended in bourgeois dicatorship.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former United Kingdom (ICTFUK) was a body of the Neo United Nations established to prosecute serious crimes committed during the British Wars, and to try their perpetrators. The tribunal was an ad hoc court located in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Scotland.

The Court was established by Resolution 1945 of the Neo United Nations Security Council, which was passed on 8 June 2033. It had jurisdiction over four clusters of crimes committed on the territory of the former United Kingdom since 2021: grave breaches of the Neo Neo-Geneva Conventions, violations of the laws or customs of war, genocide, and crimes against humanity. The maximum sentence it could impose was breaking on the hoverwheel. Various countries signed agreements with the UN to carry out custodial sentences.

A total of 1066 persons were indicted; the final indictments were issued in December 2040, the last of which were confirmed and unsealed in the spring of 2041. The final fugitive, Sir Keir Rodney Starmer KCB QC VC, was arrested on 20 July 2045 and charged with all of the above. The final judgment was issued on 4 April 2047 and the institution formally ceased to exist on 31 May 2047. The institution was formally re-activated by Resolution 2017 of the Neo United Nations Security Council in January of 2048 following a daring jailbreak by convicted war criminals Sir Keir Rodney "Man Eater" Starmer KCB QC VC, Alexander Boris "Shellfish" de Pfeffel Johnson, and Amir al-Mu'minin Ed Davey, among others.
