I consider myself an extremely "soft" leftist, with a lot of care for "social issues" and personal freedom, but not exactly a hardcore "socialist". I'm not even talking about Marx here (I know some of the theory etc, but I don't agree 100% with it)
I am what the general public sees as a "leftist" and that's fine by me.
I am more of a social-liberal.
I am not american or european, but if I was, I would obviously stick with the Democrats and Social-Democrats in general.
I see most of you guys are not like this, you tend to be more radical to the left. I see no reason for that. For real, the world is not this big war you all seem to be fighting for. Many people stick to the center.

Try to convince me to be more radical, if you can. (I hate authoritarians of all kinds).
I am open to criticism.

Take notice I am:
gay man
from brazil
I support marijuana, lgbt+ rights and things like abortion
I am not completely opposite to capitalism (because I think to stop capitalism you would need an authoritarian government and I don't like that), but I like the idea of reforms and regulations.
I care about poor people, the disavantaged and the homeless.

Yes, china is very amicable.
Why aren't there any chinese posters here talking with us by the way? Can they join the conversation, or the police is being too amicable with them?

And no, brazil is not liberal, brazil is a conservative country. Liberalism implies a set of values that conservatives despise.

The modern right does not value soft power. They despise it actually. The era of realpolitik is gone. Hence why Trump's foreign policy has been such a clown show.

>not even willing to look good in a symbolic vote for soft power purposes
That's not it though. They are way too deep and departing from their "bad faith vote" cope would only further discredit all their previous ones.

Additionally, every time the USA drags their allies to these symbolic declarations of support for the worst shit ever. It reinforces their commitment to US hegemony. It is an exclusionary brand, like a gang tattoo meant to push you towards loyalty by cutting out all those who know what the brand means. Because if your side ever loses, you are completely fucked. They will know who you were and where you stood.

They almost got their way with Ukraine. As pretty much the whole world was forced then to take the Washington line. When push came to shove, however, just about nobody but the US-whipped NATO slaves joined to sanction Russia.

It's a matter of time before the UN, which is just the imperialist refresher to the colonialist League of Nations, tilts more towards other powers and the USA declares it obsolete in a more serious manner than the "Board of Peace" BS.

>The inability to achieve on an international scale what has been achieved, or is in the process of being achieved, on the national level-partial or complete elimination of capital competition-permits the continuation of class antagonisms in all countries despite the elimination or restriction of private capital formation. To state it the other way around: because nationalization of capital leaves class relations intact, there is no way of escaping competition on the international scene. Just as control over the means of production assures the maintenance of class divisions, so does control over the national state, which includes control over its means of production. The defense of the nation and its growing strength becomes the defense and reproduction of new ruling groups. The “love for the socialist fatherland” in Communist countries, the desire for a “stake in the country,” as exemplified in the existence of “socialist” governments in welfare-economies, as well as national self-determination in hitherto dominated countries, signifies the existence and rise of new ruling classes bound to the existence of the national state.

>WHILE a positive attitude toward nationalism betrays a lack of interest in socialism, the socialist position on nationalism is obviously ineffective in countries fighting for national existence as well as in those countries oppressing other nations. If only by default, a consistent anti-nationalist position seems to support imperialism. However, imperialism functions for reasons of its own, quite independently of socialist attitudes toward nationalism. Furthermore, socialists are not required for the launching of struggles for national autonomy as the various “liberation” movements in the wake of the second World War have shown. Contrary to earlier expectations, nationalism could not be utilized to further socialist aims, nor was it a successful strategy to hasten the demise of capitalism. On the contrary, nationalism destroyed socialism by using it for nationalist ends.


>It is not the function of socialism to support nationalism, even though the latter battles imperialism. But to fight imperialism without simultaneously discouraging nationalism means to fight some imperialists and to support others, for nationalism is necessarily imperialist – or illusory.

its not interesting, if (it won't) there was a revolution in the small irrelevant country where I live it will simply follow the same destiny all revolutions from 20th century followed, it will get either crushed or forced to capitulate in some manner by western imperialism
so thats why I wish western leftcoms good luck while also supporting peripheral nations and nation-states that resist and apply pressure on the imperialist hegemon and its vassals, I need both of them to succeed for revolution here to not end up like Cuba

>The pied noir were vile people, no different from the avarage rhodesian or israeli. These are not proletariat in need of political awakening, these are people who openly rejected being proletariats in order to serve as a militant occupying force; they are arguably more reactionary than the avarage capitalist, and their actions will testify to that.
It's absolutely true, most pied noirs were vile people, fucking hell Eric Zemmour is one of them. I have some fondness for Albert Camus, but he was a pearl among the shitpile, and he had sketchy political opinions, I mostly liked him for his thoughts on life when I was in high school, "what it means to live", blahblahblah…

But now, let's get serious, what happened in Algeria since it gained its national independence? Some crude nationalism for a few decades, then another brutal civil war against Islamist fuckheads in the 1990s, then more crude nationalism and a beef with Morocco over a part of the Sahara desert.
Tell me where is the revolutionary class struggle in there. It's been more than 60 years. Where is the emancipated proletariat in Algeria and why are there so many Algerians expats in France since the first civil war started? Why don't they come back? It's a beautiful country! Why don't they enjoy self-determination?
Maybe because Paul Mattick had a point.

mattick is cool sometimes but its kinda crazy how blind he is to the material conditions difference in developing vs developed countries and universalizes his personal experience. yeah HIS country could do a rev without all the stuff that sucks but its extremely stupid to critique/reject a backwards nation when he cant even organize proles in his own

I legitimately do not understand why people believe he was wrong. Look at Jewish people and how specialized into getting better at academia or India with how certain groups become natural fishermen. Lysenkoism feels like it's striking a cord between Stirnerite individualism and collectivism and it legitimately sounds cooler than Darwin's lame "one will breed more than the other and the species will survive". Darwin's system doesn't explain suicide for example.

><yes they do, here they are, they're segments of DNA
you are being really wishy washy and moving the goalposts. "segments of DNA" is not what was proposed by the concept of genes and multiple people here have admitted that what they essentially think is a gene is a collection of multiple seemingly random different segments that mean nothing alone until they interact with their environment as well as eachother under specific condditions, which is a completely separate thing from a discrete physical entity called a gene that determines phenotype. the entire thing has been debunked and what people actually conceive of as genes, eg punnet squares where one segment of dna on a chromosome = one phenotypic trait are such an exception to the rule that they arent even worth mentioning. but thats all you bio 101 retards even know

IMO this crisis shows that for all the brute force the US can still wield, there are big problems which it cannot solve without fucking over it's monopolies even harder. So while I don't care for the US left, nor I think they will amount to anything ever…

It doesn't matter. They are not needed. The US will lose the cold war to other liberal powers even if nobody left of Trump ever existed in the the whole of NATO. The conditions for collapse will be imposed from the outside by their rivals and from the inside by the national bourgeoisie clinging to US hegemony first, and then diversifying and looting what remains of it past the tipping point of decline. They'll become a dozen Ancapistani republics for the winners to loot and enslave.

The Woke Left is nothing short of trying to create South Africa II or Global Zimbabwe, no matter how destructive it will be - even for them.
Anti-White and inorganic LGBT+ Radicalism must be distanced entirely from the Modern Left. The Left also needs to remember, again, that being a patriot for your actual blood-and-soil and not some abstract bourgeoisie(SP?) identity isn't antithetical to communism.
But the good news is you'll probably successfully exterminate White people in America at this point before the Left does something about this. So hey, I guess Epstein's PsyOps are gonna work after all.
It was also by-the-by a lived experience I had to reflect on that made me give up my own racist and/or intrinsically anti-LGBT+ ideas that made me eventually decide I wasn't gonna stay with the Right anyway. But hey, just keep feeding the D&C because it feels good I guess. There would be no Alt-Right without the SJWs, just remember that.

Stemlords are actually picrel. Its no surprise stemlords are complete retards. Im doing a masters in STEM and can't believe how intellectually barren math and this field is. There is no critical thinking involved, just memorizing some garbage symbols and their rules. Solving some dumb problems with some dumb patterns and repeat.

How did stemlords get so much prestige, while being just mere symbol technicians? Humanities at least teaches some theory and critical thinking, STEM is just complete trash meant for brainlets.

No wonder philosophy underpins all math and logic, stem is just surface level work for retards. I havent encountered a single intellectually deep thought in STEM once.

>if only that were the case
A prejudgement is a case where a judgement is made of something before the person who judges it is adequately acquainted with its contents, thus creating an error, either by (i) false presumption, or (ii) false conduct. Thus, in the second case, one can be correct in their judgement, but not by knowledge, and so this correctness is accidental - thus, one can be right, but for the wrong reasons, nullifying this achievement. So then, prejudice is always illegitimate, since it always begins in ignorance, even if it ends in accidental truth. In the case of prejudice around political economy in this thread, it is mostly (i) an errroneous presumption or opinion.
>in your dreams
I fail to quite grasp the meaning of this. By identifying ideas, we already enclose them by identification; so ideas are self-evidently settled; its just that the thinker may falsely grasp it. Thus, progress in conception is not a movement of ideas in themselves, it is a movement from ignorance to knowledge. Thus, when we seek to know, we seek to stop thinking, for it is already complete. Marx himself gives this dissertation in the Communist Manifesto, that politics is the dialectic of class struggle, and the end of class struggle is therefore the end of politics. Thus, once a thing is grasped in its completeness, it may be sufficiently objectified as alienated knowledge (i.e. in the form of a book, which as Ibn Khaldun writes, is the appearance of mind).

>>2755909
yes i think a year of your posts qualifies as adequately acquainted. your claims that political economy is a closed concept and ideas being settled is obviously an ideological projection, a wish, an assertion of unfounded dominance where your arrogance matches your ignorance.

>yes i think a year of your posts qualifies as adequately acquainted.
There is a difference between experience and learning.
>your claims that political economy is a closed concept and ideas being settled is obviously an ideological projection
No, its a description of what ideas are. We learn a topic so that we no longer have to learn it. This is the difference between the attributes of Noesis (understanding) and Eikasia (imagination) in practical terms. We can consume fiction or entertainment endlessly, repeating the same songs on loop, but can we read the same book of non-fiction over and over? Can we tolerate the same lectures? No. So then, we learn so that we may know, and in knowing, we cease learning; ideas are complete, while what is incomplete belongs to sensation, and thus it may be indulged (the imagination being a part of sensation). This is also important in considering government; what belongs to necessity must be understood, while what is frivolous is inconsequential - this is true the constitutional basis of markets, for exampe, which begin by the faculties of the mind. If this cannot be accepted, then there can be no division between fact and fiction, since there is no division between imagining and knowing.

I have also heard bad things about open relationships… I think you should be wary and be extra safe in sex with him, since he could be catching things…

I haven't done anything penetrative yet. But I don't think he was saying it to make me comfortable with his secret exploits, I think he genuinely thinks it's ok for me to do it. He doesn't have a lot of free time to begin with.
It is tempting, I have gotten some offers from really hot guys, but I don't want to end up hurting him and ruining the relationship.

>>7821
You shouldn't do it. You could get some disease and unknowingly spread it to him, or lose interest in him.

I live in the swamp' I stink and I eat bugs.
Witches these days don't know shit.
I am a classic style pagan witch.
A literal demigod.

One time a some king or whatever wanted me to make him a potion of immortality; I was like ok bet.
But you gotta stir the fuck out of that bitch so I got some slave kid to do it. (it was chill back then + he was white)
The little shit drank a sip RUINING the magic; so I threw his ass in the the ocean.

He washed up in fucking Cornwall immortal and is now a demigod.
Fucking smirking at me when see him at meetings.

Most of the humans I taught magic to got killed (Druids) and only the faggy ones survived (Bards).

I am made out of mud and fear; I do not sleep.
I will close my eyes only once at the end of all things; but I will open them again as nothing truly ever really ends.

>We're the grand daughters of the witches you did not kill.
And they'll say that shit while being the most transphobic person you've ever met and being wiccan rather than actual witches/pagans. Like nah bitch you're the grand daughter of the guy that threw the torch under them.

>>768949
What does this phrase imply? I always wondered.

Originally, that abrahamists failed to kill off paganism. Wiccan terfs latched onto it's gendered language and made it about being a secret super form of trad instead. Vaugely the type of fent the Sinfest author is smoking.

I don’t think you’ll need too much of anything that will be hard to find. At least not in terms of the individual concepts.
For degrowth, the video provided is pretty good at explaining the concept. I would suggest looking anything related to enshittification, it’s very related to the subject. And generally, you’ll find plenty of the subject, but I would advise being cautious about what information you find. It’s been quite misconstrued by people invested in the current mode of production.

As for everything else, you’ll find the resources in a similar manner. Plenty of educational resources online. Like these two links:
https://www.ars.usda.gov/oc/utm/vertical-farming-no-longer-a-futuristic-concept/

https://www.usgs.gov/water-science-school/science/desalination#overview

As for putting these concepts together, that’s a bit more difficult. I’m going to have to think that introduction over for a bit.

I kind of want to vindicate the OP, but upon reading the source, it's pretty much the same thing that bourgeois propagandists do when they use projected birthrates to prove that communism killed 100 trillion, but from the other side. Understandable for the Soviets to use this line back in the day, but hardly solid evidence by today's standards.

I mean, it's an obvious choice that will be forced on everyone.

NATO will sooner or later "regulate" AI to OpenAI's tastes (glowie state monopoly, zero transparency otherwise) to kill open source. And at that point you have just about any productivity tool, the likes of which capitalists flock to for easy savings, rely on a completely opaque black box hosted by American glowies.

Imagine a world where every email in every office, every other page of programming code and much of the cultural output is sourced from Grok.

If you think it's bad now, imagine how it's going to get when LLMs for example, replace internet searching and social media as the magic box one asks questions to, with the latter remaining a more pure skinnerbox for socially parsing that information.

It's "cloud computing" 2.0 but completely opaque, aiming to encompass the whole of computing not just server hosting and much more centralized and opaque.

anyone here ever tried datura, or salvia, or any other of them rare psychedelics?

>>769274
Datura is not a psychedelic, its a deliriant, you risk going insane forever or dying, don't ever fucking do it

>>769274
Salvia is not that rare or at least it wasn't. Was the easiest drug to find at one point probably, could get it at most head shops.

I never tried DMT but Salvia is like the craziest fucking drug. If I had to describe it, I'd call it hyper reality. It seems more real than real life. That's another thing is you get intense deja vu. Like it also seems that reality is more familiar to you than your waking life. My first time I tried it, I immediately thought during the come up "oh I'm going back to the place I was before they put me here." It feels also like your whole life maybe was just leading up to the moment you get high on Salvia. Or like everything that went on was just little blips between being on Salvia. I don't know how to describe it perfectly, but it's crazier than anything you've seen in any "mind-bending fiction."

https://www.reddit.com/r/Salvia/comments/1fsz3x4/deja_vu/

Some people have very pleasant trips some people have very horrifying trips, so beware. It tends to incapacitate you, I usually seem to forget I have a body at all or that I have the power of moving it, but people have been known to jump out windows and stuff so be careful. Probably one you want a sitter for but I've done it alone a number of times.

Salvia really changed my life because before it, I was an absolute material reductionist. Everything is just little signals in your brain and all that. But Salvia made me see there is something more going on behind the scenes. Makes you question everything, but I'd say it's hard to get any concrete realizations out of it in my experience, but you realize that your way of looking at the world is just a small narrow window out of the endless possibilities. Oh yeah, also that you're just playing a character. You'll just be like "oh well, that life is over, I'm no longer that character anymore, that character has zero relevance to me now." And yet you still exist even once you abandon the character.

>>769278
I'd say, out of any drug, you have to be the most prepared for Salvia, and I don't really know if you can prepare because it will knock you off your ass and whatever "I'm just on a drug right now" kind of mantra you would tell yourself normally just won't work. You go like beyond time and space, everything about your old life becomes irrelevant to you. You also will feel like you will be there forever and people tend to say they feel like Salvia experiences last eons even when it's only a couple minutes.

>The mystifying side of Hegelian dialectic I criticised nearly thirty years ago, at a time when it was still the fashion. But just as I was working at the first volume of Das Kapital it was the good pleasure of the peevish, arrogant mediocrities who now talk large in cultured Germany, to treat Hegel in the same way as the brave Moses Mendelsohn in Lessing’s time treated Spinoza, that is, as a ‘dead dog’. I therefore openly avowed myself the pupil of that mighty thinker, and even here and there, in the chapter on the theory of value, coquetted with the modes of expression peculiar to him. The mystification which the dialectic suffers in Hegel’s hands by no means prevents him from being the first to present its general form of working in a comprehensive and conscious manner. With him it is standing on its head. It must be turned right side up again, if you would discover the rational kernel within the mystical shell.

<Beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank implemented neoliberal structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) across most countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. SAPs imposed austerity, privatisation and economic deregulation and have been associated with severe negative impacts on human welfare, including (a) declining real wages and working-class consumption, (b) increased rates of poverty and basic-needs deprivation, (c) increased neonatal and maternal mortality and (d) reduced health system access. Structural adjustment also created conditions for increased financial outflows and drain from the global South through unequal exchange. This paper reviews evidence of these damages and proposes possible options for reparations and distributive justice. We argue that the IMF and the World Bank should be democratised and restructured—or otherwise replaced by alternative institutions—to prevent further harm.

>I'm happy to announce this new paper — we compile evidence on the extraordinary harms caused by IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programmes in the global South since the 1980s.


>The empirical record is devastating: documented negative impacts on wages, poverty, inequality, maternal mortality, infant mortality, healthcare access, etc.


>SAPs inflicted misery on the periphery in order to curtail their consumption, scupper independent development, and make labour and resources more cheaply available for the core.


>As indicated at the bottom of the article, this piece is part of the Walter and Patricia Rodney Commission on reparations. The Commission includes a total of 10 contributions, 5 of which are published here in the BMJ Global Health
