What's happening now
• Iran and Israel exchange strikes: Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles toward Israel, according to state media, in response to Israel’s unprecedented strikes. Each side has reported incoming fire in the hours since, with sirens sounding across Israel and Iran activating its own missile defenses early Saturday.

• Major blows to Iran: Israel targeted Iran’s nuclear program and military leaders with its first wave of strikes, which killed at least 78 people, according to Tehran. High-ranking figures, including the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and nuclear scientists are among the dead.

• What Netanyahu says: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who an Israeli official says is monitoring the strikes from a bunker, has vowed “more is on the way.” He previously said Israel’s operation against Iran could take several days.

• Trump’s warning: President Donald Trump told CNN that the US “of course” supports Israel in its actions. Trump warned Iran to agree to a nuclear deal “before there is nothing left.”

Suppose Karl Marx had never been born. How would the modern world be different?

My best guess is highly optimistic. Without Marx, there would have been no prominent intellectual promoter of violent revolution for socialist dictatorship. There would still have been a big socialist movement, including many socialists dreaming of bloodbaths and tyranny. But the movement as a whole would have rapidly evolved into something like social democracy. Third World dictators would still have killed in the name of socialism. But there would have been no Soviet Union without Marx. And without the Soviet Union, there would be no fascist Italy and no Nazi Germany. A socialist dictatorship could still have come to China. But without the ghoulish example of Soviet agriculture, even a socialist China would have avoided major peacetime famine.

It’s clearly possible that an alternate, equally influential theoretician of violent revolution for socialist dictatorship would have arisen. But this seems unlikely. When historians of science try to weigh a scientist’s influence, they search for runner-ups – rival scientists waiting in the wings to make the same discovery. Challenge: If Marx had never lived, who exactly would have replaced him? In Germany, Marx’s top rival was Ferdinand Lassalle, a figure far more in tune with modern social democracy than Marx. On the global socialist scene, it’s hard to name any figure that compares with Marx. Who’s even in the running?

There’s really only one fact that tempers my optimism: The world with Marx has never had a nuclear war. Altering any major facet of history could plausibly reverse that happy outcome.

Your thoughts?(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

>>2322652
tl;dr - someone else would come up with equivalent of marxism sooner or later, grow up

If marx was really derious aboit opposing social democracy he'd have killed lasalle

>words cause violence
is this the right-wing position these days?

The world without Marx is the world today.

Everyone is Lassallen. Leftists read critique of the gotha program and find themselves agreeing with every position opposed by Marx.

>>2322657
not only that, but many of the ideas attributed to marx were already in circulation before he compiled them in his writings. people weren't so obsessed with authorship and intellectual property back then because they were doing politics, not content

Yeah it literally is a repost.

I feel like I was like your brother. Still kind of am except I have a full time job at the moment. I think it's really your parents job to get him some help. My parents, in particular my mother tried to help, but they maybe helped too much and helped make me too dependent on them. Either way I was still able to get jobs at certain points including at the moment. I have savings and have a decent life all things considered. So really it's mostly up to your brother to decide when he's ready to change his life and it may end up being a half hearted change even if he does. Try to get him into the system so maybe he could get some kind of government benefits and\or services and your parents have to play a role. I don't know what else could work

Tomorrow a huge protest will be held in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade, protesting the government’s refusal to accept the demands made by the students, as well as protesting against general incompetence and corruption. From the student to the teacher, worker and pensioner, war veterans and children all around Serbia will gather together in this protest.
Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.

Nothingeverhappeners are burned out of years where things looked like would happen but then nothing ever happened. Now they don't except anything to happen ever, even when things have just happened.

So SNS is now calling the students fascists and nazis. This is after they made a provocation where a group of SNS-aligned youths (the "Students 2.0") with their leader visited the biggest student dorm and got beer cans thrown at them.
They're calling that a "fascistic attack" and now they're pushing a slogan which translates to something like "It's better to be a ćaci than a nazi" (which is seemingly replacing their failed slogan "I'm a ćaci too") and they put a banner on the Nis fortress with that slogan and a swastika, which got a bunch of people mad (because it's not far from where a Nazi concentration camp was in WWII), and it got removed pretty fast by someone from some opposition party.
SNS realized their mistake with the swastika and they made a new banner with that slogan and a crossed-out swastika and put it in front of the Parliament in Belgrade (in the street SNS has been blocking with tents for weeks now) but that one didn't stay up for a long time either, because some opposition parliament members got mad and they cut off the banner with a knife, then they got in an argument with people from the SNS tents then they got arrested for wielding a knife as a weapon or something like that.

Not a Serb, but I can confirm this. I was walking around late at night in Beograd, and suddenly I saw a bunch of tents blocking a critical road intersection of the city, and a shitton of cops.
So I went to the supermarket that is still open at this time of the night, got some snacks and beer, and when I got out, I saw a bunch of people who looked like students, so I asked them what was going on, and they confirmed to me it was a teacher protest.
They told me the government passed a law or decree reducing the time spent on research by teachers from 50% to 5%, which means it limits their pay to 50€. While Beograd is a relatively cheap city by Western standards, this is an unliveable situation.
They told me the government passed this decree basically illegally or almost, it's a weird legal situation. I told them it's unsustainable for a country to stop doing scientific research, especially when Serbia is more or less known for having very good education, but it's basically a power play.
More importantly, they told me the teachers will stay there for as long as needed to get what they want. To me, this sounded kinda funny at first, but this is actually ballsy. The protest seemed rather peaceful, because in several other countries, they would have been kettled and suffocate in a cloud of tear gas. But then, during another day when I wanted to see a few buildings bombed by NATO (holy shit, can't describe how I felt when I saw this), I passed by the camp, and damn, it's hot as fuck in this country, and they were still there, and the camp was much larger than I initially thought. And when you have 5000 dinars for the month, well you better spend them well collectively. I think some students offered them food, mutual aid stuff.

The students confirmed another few things discussed in this thread: the use of a LRAD, the sketchy contract regarding the canopy in Novi Sad. And it's true that a couple of public squares were blocked with tents with almost no one in there, what a weird sight to behold. One in particular had barriers coated with some strange orange substance that is probably a kind of glue. A few people were hanging around in this one big park, but they had to pass a police check I believe.

I also saw students in front of an university building, but I didn't feel like asking them questions, cops were fucking everyPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Who was Paul Pawlowski?
>Paul Pawlowski (born 1926/1927) was a Polish-born immigrant, Hellenic polytheist and English republican who, from the late 1970s until his resignation in 1996, served as the leader and only member of the Republican Party of England and the English People’s Liberation Army (EPLA).

What was the EPLA?
<The EPLA originated as a split from the Maoist Working People's Party of England. The Army's ideology called for the independence of England from "Judeo-fascist" forces.
<According to the "Dictionary of Terrorism", it was "extremely weak" but had "undertaken isolated bomb attacks". In 1983, it claimed responsibility for a parcel bomb sent to the headquarters of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
<Barberis et al claim that the organisation may have had links to the Oliver Cromwell Republican Party, founded in 1977. This minor organisation, also led by Paul Pawlowski, later renamed the Republican Party of England, is best known for its leader's demonstration against the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981

The revolutionary career of Pawlowski, in his own words:
"In 1960s I read the Iliad in HMP Brixton.
Why! Thats polytheism – thats my religion i decided.
in 1970s I opened Temple of Aphrodite Pandemos in my one room in Tooting. Landlord told me to get out – evicted.
I moved to empty house in Charington Road squat.
There was Banner books shop nearby in Camden High street.
The shopwindow was Red with little red books bust of chairman Mao in the middle. Indian man Bijour was the shopkeeper.

>economic migration
do you know the difference between empathy and sympathy? as i have already expressed, i have empathy for economic migrants, but not sympathy. that is to say, i understand their position, but i cant support it. if they are caught, justice has inevitably caught up to them, like with any criminal. what is the alternative? supporting economic migration, which you apparently refuse to do, so you are overtaken by all sides.
>But those migrants are as much labour as the local population, there use in capital no different then the local population in the mechanisms of capital itself.
except that they will be more willing to accept lower wages, which is the plot of capital in its war against labour. did you see that trump is giving exception to low-paid migrants on farms in the US? the bourgeoisie actively support illegal immigration because it facilitates low wages, as a general trend - the same way marx and engels saw it in the 19th century.
>Is it pro-immigration when the various so called "pro-immigrant" parties of today use the same visa laws passed by "anti-immigrant" parties to string along immigrants and use their labour while under threat of deportation or expiration?
YES. that is the entire point of importing immigrants. to further exploit labour.
>Internationalism is both, as nations are not limited to states
what defines a nation, then?
>The standard of life in the West steadily increased at the time
in SPITE of its devaluation
>Wages will always be worth less in the long run with the falling rate of profit, and with general price increases
😂😂 this is how i know youre ignorant. the lowering of the value of commodities to marx is in direct proportion to the output of use-values (i.e. "wealth"), so a lower rate of profit means more wealth (or as adam smith says, the rate of profit is highest in poor countries and lowest in rich countries). profit is antithetical to the rate of wages, since it is an extraction from potential wages. also, what trend makes prices go up except a greater rate of profit from a lower rate of production? you are describing opposite trends. a lower value means a lower price.

let’s say, hypothetically, there was a particularly motivated man. he does not have much of a stomach for theory, as ridiculous as that might sound to all of you here. what if, hypothetically, his concern was action. with finding well-read individuals who may need help bringing theory to life.

let’s also say, hypothetically, that he was concerned primarily with seeking out early “revolutionary” movements and lending a hand in any way he could.

this “hypothetical” character is american, white, and armed. he is aware of these privileges and is willing to weaponize them against the System in order to further the Cause. he is willing to travel anywhere in the country and shack up with any worthy individual he might come across.

he is not a child. he’s in his late twenties. he is from one of the poorest areas in the country. he is angry. he wants to change things. he does not want a career, or a family. he wants to fight for something. he is definitely a little nuts. par for the course with this sort of thing.

if you were him - where do you go? who do you speak to? what do you do?

Trying to put together a reading list for Queer Socialist Theory/ Trans Liberation.
While we agree that LGBTQ people should be free to live their lives under socialism, unfortunately this hasn't been the case for all socialist govs.
Past reactionary behaviours/ policies have also emerged in certain so-called Socialist orgs like the ACP who use the USSRs past homophobia to justify their bigotry.
As a result, I think it's important that we assemble resources to ensure that future/ existing parties, platforms and orgs don't repeat the same mistakes.

Any recs?

Quotes and examples of pro-LGBTQ policies in Socialist Govs are also welcome.

>-The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State by Engels.
Feminism is a mythological project built around an essentialized subject (“woman”) that has never existed as a coherent class. Engels wasn’t doing a heccin feminism. He was dismantling the family as a unit of private property and inheritance.

And no, labelling the same structure with different words doesnt make it different.
I can see that some independent farmer, artisan, industrial cooperative or family company (operated by an actual family) escapes this structure. In all the common isms you have at least two classes of people, one exploits, one is being exploited.
technological changes do not change this structure. The use or not of money does not change this structure. The possibility of individual persons changing their social position (i.e slaves gaining freedom or rich people losing their money) doesnt change the structure.

you're just repeating your argument without sustenance. if you do not understand historical materialism, that's okay.
<read the first chapter of the german ideology. read marx's letter to annenekov. read the poverty of philosophy.
'bosses' haven't always existed. 'jobs' haven't always existend. 'organizations' are not pretty much the same anyways, and 'elites' bossing over 'non-elites' is a phrase empty of any kind of history. read. read. read.

>>2322603
>money and wage work etc makes capitalism different from other ways of production.
How?
If money did not exist, would work not exist?
If money did not exist, would elite peoples not boss over non-elites?
If money did not exist, would production not exist?
If i was an alien with no concept of money and i looked at human societies at any time in history, i would just see a lot of people working, a small group of people not working and receiving a ton of goods and services from the working people, and the non-working people giving commands to the working people. Seems like an universal structure to me
>>2322608
>'jobs' haven't always existend
A person doing the bidding and following the orders of another person is essentially doing a job, i.e "has a job".
>bosses have not always existed
Not among hunter-gatherers, independent artisants and other such peoples. But within the four "systems" i mentioned (capitalis, communism, feudalism and slavety) there are bosses and people being bossed.

>This is entirely compatible with my diagram.
imagine if I just made a circle that said "people" and when confronted with any theory about society I just said "well, my graphic that just says 'people' already includes all of that so your theory is either incorrect or just a subset of what I said"

what your graph describes is the concept of surplus value: a person only needs X amount of things to live, but through their work they can produce Y (where Y > X); then there is surplus value (P) defined as Y - X = P; and now you have that this person, because P exists, can be exploited, even by themselves. all societies since the neolithic have had surplus value, the difference is in how it is produced and then distributed within society

I don't think you understand what communism means. the socialist countries like the ussr do not fit into your graphic because the "elite" (the governing bureaucrats) didn't take surplus value from the workers, they had a salary that in some cases could be higher than that of the regular worker but they were still, at most, 2 or 3 times richer than the regular person

under capitalism you have people whose net worth is millions of times more than the average. this is because their income (the share of surplus value they appropriate) comes from their ownership of capital, to put it simply, let T be the units of time, I the interest for that unit of time and C the amount of capital, their wealth could be define as f(T) = C * I^T which is an exponential function. meanwhile the workers that simply exchange their labor for a wage (W) will have something like g(T) = W*T which is linear and becomes increasingly smaller compared to the other function as T increases

I'm reporting your post for being low quality bait btw

If you are protesting for the "No Kings" day on June 14th, please bring your Pride flags, and/or American flags too!
We need to fight back in optics so that we stand together.

The media is really focusing on Latin American flags, and desperately are trying to cut off as many American flags from TV broadcast.

Remember this month is Pride! And we must stand for the rights of all people/sibblings from all backgrounds.

Maybe don't bring political affiliation flags like anarchist flags or communism flags. But that can be discussed

Comrades, we need a thread on privacy. Any decent activist should try ways of staying anonymous on the web and prevent being tracked by governments and corporations.General tips===* Use free software as much as you can.* Use GNU/Linux and keep it up-to-date, to be sure that you don't have unpatched security exploits* Don't use Flash Player, use youtube-dl instead for watching streaming videos online* Do not use Google, use DuckDuckGo or StartPage instead* Use a password manager like Keepass or for GNU/Linux users keepassx. Create new passwords for every site that you visit and use a strong password as a master password. A tip for easy remembering of your master password is to use a sentence. "i fucking love cookies and tits!" with extra capital characters etc. is easier to remember than some random characters and long enough to prevent brute force attacks of any kind.* Use the Tor Browser Bundle if you really want to stay anonymous.Firefox====* Go to Preferences -> History and set History to "Never remember history". * See for additional tweaks: https://github.com/amq/firefox-debloat and https://vikingvpn.com/cybersecurity-wiki/browser-security/guide-hardening-mozilla-firefox-for-privacy-and-securityAdd-ons-----------* Use uBlock Origin for preventing tracking etc. Bonus: use hard-mode to manually whitelist external domains on sites. Don't use uBlock but be sure to use uBlock Origin https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode* HTTPS Everywhere* DecentralEyes: prevents CDN hosting from tracking you (Google for Jquery etc.)* Self Destructing Cookies: only allow cookies that you choose to allowOS==* Encrypt your hard drive or home partition at least* If you use GNU/Linux, you can try to restrict systemd or syslog from logging. * Use a distribution which takes security seriously. Also, be sure that you don't install a lot of things outside the repository. It will cover most of your needs.Real life tips===* Pay with cash if you canFeel free to provide tips to each other comrades!

The question is: What is your privacy goal? Because real, total privacy is in our age a meme. As soon as you connect your device with the internet, you are toast. If you are into total privacy, you also must get a zero trust mindset, you have to assume, that EVRYTHING is compromised. So the best thing you do, is to stay away from computerter technology as far as possible.

The more usual privacy route is, what 99% of privacy enthusists actually do is: harm reduction. Trying to minimize your digital footprint as much as possible. This is the only thing you can do and it is worth to do it. Privacy is not all or nothing.

tfw theres definitely llms scraping the leftypol api trying to assign all the posts to actual user personality profiles. seems kinda easy on slow boards. based on punctuation, mispelled words, grammar, vocabularly, dates, effort. if you make 3 posts in 3 threads in the same 30 minutes. it's highly likely a script can match those three and assosciate them with you in that time frame. at that point, with the context of 3 posts. it has enough information and a profile of you now. that it can make educated guesses as to who made that new post, and successfuly assign them to you, growing the profile.

Don't even need an llm for that. I do it myself to some posters based on their posting hours, reply times, interests, typing, etc.

Here's my inca run with the dlcs, I never got deccd once and was actually constantly the aggressor

The first euroid I invaded was Spain as they were the weakest colonizer thanks to me conquering all the colonies they kept trying to set up in south america, mexico and caribbeans, then I invaded france then britain

Honestly I am really tempted to do a run as Byzantium and try to save it by reverting to Hellenism.

They said the performance impact from having pops is not noticable, curious how they achieved that.

*segregate them as much.

Potentially also the culture/religious segregation works differently in the code.
