>since Soviet weapons, ethnonationalism, and nationalization of the economy only led to successive defeats
Strange how that was when they were the closest to winning. Now they have no chance. The soviets were pussies who didn't want to fight zios and the muricans.

>when they gun down third world communists!
Because third world communists are agents of imperialism. They almost always operate in countries in confrontation with the west that allow them to exist. They always help imperialism. Where are these communists in USA waging protracted people's war against the retarded labor aristocrats and pmcs? I will only support third world communists once they organize mongol raiding parties and start enslaving rich fags of montana and long island.

>I will die an incel chud
the ultimate problem is that you have a loser mindset. the online right wing has come to celebrate decadence and anti-social behaviour because it now just appeals to weak failed males ("chuds") who are addicted to their screens. imagine if there was a biotechnology program as large as america's military industrial complex given the shocking progress we have already been making? naturally such a thing shall be built when we conquer the continent

Covid is not leaving the US, huh.

PMC status?

>>2900906
I think PMCs who like to think they are as progressive as anyone get very threatened by the PSL and they struggle to process why. Everyone knows on some level that the if the DSA gets national power anytime soon they will almost certainly compromise on imperialism to some degree. To take on imperialism means to take the US economy and start over from scratch, and significant factions in the org will quail at that. So therefore, the PMC consumption lifestyle is not threatened by the DSA right now. If anything, the DSA will improve it and make things better for the poor so there's less guilt for PMCs.

As long as the DSA is the only practical option PMCs don't have to confront this for what it is. If a group like the PSL that centers anti-imperialism gets prominence it's now a choice being made on what "supporting socialism" means and the unconscious gets forced into the conscious and it enrages PMCs. They feel the contrast between how they see themselves and how their politics is limited by a reactionary hierarchical class position based on exploitation. They can't just feel like they did all they could and rationalize how it turned out unless the DSA exists in a vacuum of any other major socialist tendencies. So the PSL will get attacked by more conservative socialists because they want the definition of socialism to be an essentially middle class project, and they will find any way they can to stigmatize it and they are doing that in a typical PMC "progressive" way with bodies and spaces language.

>my initial assumption is obviously common sense
The neoliberal conception of freedom is being a baby brained consumer who makes their preferred choices in the free market of ideas.
>reality itself is shunned as political bias
That's the legacy of every "mature", "reasonable", "adult in the room" leftist austerity scold from Carter to Clinton to Obama and Biden/Kamala.
The reality is that the DSA left does nothing but victim blame the working class for responding dysfunctionally to their PMC anti-Stalinist anarcho-Bidenist ideology. Jacobin literally wrote an article crying about how an AI moratorium is "dangerous" and "conspiratorial" and "won't let us fight China". Very rational, ma'am!

and guess what Canada has all those things through decades of military alliance with the US. it's not like the Canadian military is some 3rd world warlord PMC. they have drones. they have a navy. they have aircraft. they have pretty much the same capability as Ukraine when it comes to repelling a much stronger military force, and I predict the situation would be even worse for the Americans because Ukraine is much easier to wage war in.

of course, as I said it would be trivially easy to take Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, etc and effectively overthrow the Canadian government within 24 hours. it would just be nearly impossible to project force outside the border provinces.

people think the US military is able to take over any place on earth by just bombing it, but they were only able to take over Venezuela because the Venezuelan government threw Maduro to the wolves. a real conflict between Canada and the US would basically just be Canada's military bombing American cities to dust while retreating into the wilderness as the US struggles to occupy Toronto and pretends they "won" because they drone striked the PM.

the meat industry is literally a cancer on the climate and on the human population that makes all food more expensive by taking land that could be used to farm native crops with sustainable permaculture and instead using it to graze cattle with non-native grass species. 1 kilogram of beef requires way more land, energy, and water to produce than 1 kilogram of vegetable matter

>but but beef has more protein

all americans, including vegans, get more than enough protein, source:

80 year curse, all the secular educated PMC jews have already left and the Haredim cannot run the country or want to serve in the military

>crying over dead PMC
I hate this board.

>>2891385
The IDF cannot take much more bleeding and most of their labor aristocrats and PMCs and technocrats have already left the country. They’re running out of secular jews interested in modernity fast, Haredis can’t run the country, they can’t even read

Anyways, half of this question should be answered with a history book in hand, but I dont have that data. But regardless, iirc there are many academic studies that show cooperatives can be more competitive than regular firms. In principle it makes sense, since a pyramidal system with some random dude at the top and different layers of PMC at the bottom seems less rational than an actual board of administrators that can check and balance each other and which are subject to change in case of failure.

I know it's a useless waste of energy to be mad online but I'll never not be bitter that these PMC girlies get to just wash their hands of a decade of wrecking and screeching and share a giggle about how wokeness was just so silly but nobody back then knew any better when in fact pretty much everyone knew better, themselves included

>We should approach militaries instead of trans gay black disabled women

>according to chuds the military is entirely trans gay black disabled communist women, because of woke n shit
There was some viral thing among groypers the other day sharing a video of new military recruits stepping off a bus and they didn't actually look like gigachad so that means the military is fake and gay. The military is that but that's not really the reason why. If there was ever a civil war though then there's a high probability a 5'4" Latina lesbian surface warfare officer will press the button to launch the Tomahawks at the Capitol building.

>What's the point of arguing about who to reach out to and who not to when no one does shit anyway.
An interesting thing to think about is how it reflects the enshittified slopulism of neoliberal third-way PMCs who use social science techniques to study voters, manage discourse, and manufacture electoral campaigns. That sentence is a mouthful but bear with me on this. It's literally the same shit.

Reporting from Gaza with Palestinian Poet Ahmed Sarsour
“It’s not just about what’s happening in Palestine, it’s happening everywhere. The same forces that are controlling the world, the capitalist and imperialist forces, they are the ones who started the war in Sudan, and they are the ones waging wars in communities in every country in the world, like in Congo and Turtle Island, and Cuba and Venezuela,” Ahmed Sarsour tells me. It’s the afternoon of Friday, June 26, and Sarsour is struggling to stay on the call amid interruptions in electricity. The 33-year-old Palestinian poet is speaking to Unicorn Riot from his birthplace, his grandparents’ home in the center of Gaza in the city of Deir Al-Balah. Shaken but still standing after three separate bombings, the house sits adjacent to rubble from their neighbors’ former home. The local mosque has also been destroyed.

Sanae Takaichi Cannot Resolve Japan’s Economic Crisis
Japan has been in a prolonged economic crisis, with the yen reaching a 40-year low in value at the start of July. Takaichi was elected in part due to her bold economic promises. While there has been some debate, Takaichi is generally seen as a Keynesian politician who aims to stimulate the Japanese economy through major investments in key industries tied to advanced technology and the defense industry, favoring multi-year budgeting over single-year budgets. She has further promised to relieve consumer costs by lowering Japan’s 8 percent tax on food sales to just 1 percent. Elected largely due to her economic promises, Takaichi has been unable to pass much of this agenda, even with her party’s supermajority. Instead, she has had to rely on intervention from the United States, which stepped in late last week to prop up the yen. Whether or not this intervention succeeds in stabilizing Japan’s economy, it signals the Japanese government’s own inability to address the issue most impacting Japanese workers. It also further reinforces Japan’s subordination to the United States at a time when the United States is increasingly weak and unable, or unwilling, to act as a reliable ally, even to its most sycophantic partners.

Question for AnCaps:
Under Anarcho-Capitalism do the child sex slaves have a right to organise and fight for their liberation?
Or does the methamphetamine factory CEO who owns them have the right to hire a PMC to end their rebellion?

Liberal treatlerites believe its a good thing that countless millions of non-white people were murdered during the Cold War. They love Jakarta Method neoliberal Baal rituals of human sacrifice to capital, that allow them to buy Funko Pops. Liberals see it as Historical Progress™ to have achieved their globalist utopia of fossil fuel imperialism (or AOC's New Green Deal imperialism that also does coups in Bolivia etc). When the nepo failson Hunter Biden is placed in a corporate board room for a Ukraine resource extraction company, liberals believe that's a GOOD THING!
Neoliberalism has universalized the condition of being a decadent petite-Epstein labor aristocrat like in Candide: "This is the best of all possible worlds!" - twitter bluechecks
>obsessed with Ukraine
the liberal theory of history is all pro-democracy slop, no materialism at all. "More democratic states means more freedom", that's their entire political philosophy. We saw this brainrot with the zoomer Nepal protests or whatever Soros is doing in Indonesia right now.
Its like this PMC Trot Gilbert Achcar who wrote five years ago that 'neo-campists are fools to not help Zionists fight Russia in Syria'. The left's entire identity is founded on being epic progressive heroes who are bravely fighting "authoritarianism":

tbh I have much more sympathy for people who're "economically right and socially left". there are good logical reasons you might disagree with left-wing economic theory, agree with bourgeois economic theory, or simply be selfish. I can accept and understand this and there's a lot of scope for sensible debate in principle. I can even broaden this out to certain aspects of social issues in terms of specific legislation and policy approaches (e.g. attempts to legislate equality have pitfalls, as you can see with the UK playing calvinball to say their Equality Act actually mandates discrimination against LGBT people), but I basically cannot accept that there are any non-stupid, non maladjusted reasons to hold reactionary social views, let alone to express them.

>>2878607
this too. I think that the small cadre of contemporary neoliberals have basically arrived at the same conclusion, and in truth I think it might be the worst possible equilibrium. stagnant productive forces and a reactionary culture, a society of no merit whatsoever.
people are too vulgar in their thinking, imagining that a step back towards state control would invariably represent an improvement on neoliberalism when it is in fact very possible that you just wind up with more and more resources misallocated towards war. they haven't realised yet that we're long past 90s high-neoliberalism and even post-2008 zombie neoliberalism, into an era where a US state run by open gangsterism can seize shares in private companies and interfere in the market for purely reactionary purposes, where every country has rediscovered "industrial strategy" but where, crucially, they're all doing so with an eye to future war and to the erosion of global trade. call be a neoliberal if you like, but i think this is a dangerous regression.

this isn't to let neoliberals off the hook. the 1980s neoliberal reformers were a gang of sociopaths and their own public choice theory could predict we'd wind up with this outcome, where petit-bourgeois reactionaries in protected sectors have bought a segment of the government to cut their taxes and punish "PMC" proles for having higher cultural status / not respecting their local elite status. businesses that would exist absent Post too long.

Mostly people take the Marxist analysis of ideology a little bit too literally. Obviously porkies and glowies know that liberal ideas about democracy and the rules based international order are bullshit. These people of course knowingly use this as a smokescreen to conceal their real interests wrt Western imperialism, NATO expansion, etc. But people here like to project that awareness onto every NAFO redditor, PMC with a Ukraine flag in their Bluesky, or random normie that supports the war effort. The fact is that the majority of people simply believe these things sincerely, and the majority of those don't do so because of any deep knowledge of or commitment to liberalism or Western unipolarity, but because big countries invading small ones is generally seen as bad for obvious reasons. It's why so many people are sympathetic to both Ukraine and Palestine/Iran.

Anti-Semitism just is Class Consciousness for retards. Think about the richest fucks who own everything. Are they operating out of self-interest to make themselves even richer, or out of a magical desire to please some dogshit minority religion no one would even give a fuck about if not for Israeli influence on politics? Israel is a state, they're more interested in amassing geopolitical power and doing racism than anything particularly religious. Most Jews I know are PMCs or working class. That's not to say that no influential Jews exist in media and banking, they do. They're just not the primary problem we're facing. Even the richer ones are usually just Zionist fucks or shitlibs.

It's all about the money, follow the money. Who has the money? The bourgeoisie. Who's interest do they work for? Their own, their only religion is the Almighty dollar. They've tricked you into believing in magic money people who are secretly the "REAL" ones running the world, while they do it out in the open. It is in their interest to pit the working class against each other, keep them fighting about retarded bullshit and idpol, thus keeping the working class from rising up and doing anything to stop them.
