>For Reagan not only saw communists as parricides, but also as extremely active sexually-completely in contrast to the actual sexual code in most communist countries. For instance, when he ran for Governor of California, one of the central themes of his campaign was “the mess at Berkeley,” a place where, he said, they held “sexual orgies so vile I can-not describe them to you,” promising if elected to “investigate the charges of communism and blatant sexual misbehavior on the Berkeley campus.” A good part of the reason why he was elected was that, as one biographer put it, “hidden away in the hearts of parents was the fear that their own children might one day go away to college, grow beards and march against authority.”… Reagan promised these voters that his first targets as Governor would be the students at Berkeley, “advocates of sexual orgies, drug usage, and filthy speech,” who wanted only to “disrupt the academic community” and who therefore must be brought under control immediately. The situation at Berkeley, he told a woman’s club in April of 1966, was now so bad that their “morality gap is so great that we can no longer ignore it.” He had proof, he said, that the Alameda County District Attorney had just investigated a student dance which had turned into “an orgy,” where they had displayed on a giant screen “pictures of men and women, nude, in sensuous poses, provocative, fondling.” Since Reagan had waved a piece of paper in the air during the speech, saying that he had the report of the DA’s investigation “in his hand,” curious reporters later asked the DA for a copy, only to be told that “my office made no investigations of the college dance.” - Lloyd deMause, "REAGAN’S AMERICA"

You can even see this sort of mentality in people like Ben Shapiro who conflate communism, socialism, and "the left" with rebellion against all authority and goodness for the sake of mindless pleasure. Not to mention the endless obsession with LGBTQ+, qanon pedophile theories, porn, abortion, etc.

What is the actual materialist explanation for the right wing obsession with sex? Does porky get some sort of benefit from everyone being a heterosexual monogamous who goes to church once a week? if not why the backlash? is it just to ensure a constant supply of new workers?

"Trad" or conservative rightwingers like Reagan seems to see communism or the left as some kind of pagan Nietzschian vitalism.
"Communists just want to rape all our women & girls, do genocides and have a good time afterward because it gets them off! Remember the barbaric red army raping it's way throught berlin and killing all germans in the east!". Their idea of communism is an orgy of life affirming violence, sex and perpertual war.

>Does porky get some sort of benefit from everyone being a heterosexual monogamous

>who goes to church once a week?

The church serves as a substitute for welfare and offers a way for people to socialize in an environment that's otherwise heavily regulated. Part of it is also the enduring influence that religion had before the colonial era, particularly in places like Europe where the Catholic Church was effectively in charge or the United States where settlers were organized by Protestant sects.

>why the backlash [against sex]?

As stupid as it is, lots of people just hate sex. They aren't asexual, which is a perfectly legitimate reason to dislike sex; rather, they're heterosexual men and women who have been taught to hate sex. Places like the United States have abysmal sex ed, where young adults are told to shut up and repress anything they feel rather than sit down and talk about it or engage with it in a healthy way; this leads to revulsion as they grow older, and repeat the cycle down the line.

For conservatives in particular, being anti-sex is a great way to control people. They can tap into the sexual repression I mentioned above and claim moral depravity if someone has sex, which is very effective fuel for outrage culture and offers an easy answer to problems in society.

>Of course, its all about punishing the yputh for having "le wrong opinions".
Call me schizo(and give me pills, please), but I think that is one of many angles including curbing competition for techbros and electoral stunt (tough on China!). However, the main one is escalating the part of the cold war that can be integrated into the domestic culture war and pursuing a new Patriot Act style legislation or something of the sort, in anticipation of the coming red scare.

Russiagate revival failed, the balloon shit failed, the Taiwan discourse of war with China makes everyone but the most unhinged retards, recoil in abject terror for obvious reasons. "The chip war" is looking more and more like a massive L. And the "debt trap diplomacy" narrative brings attention to the unfortunately timed decay of the francafrique and western neocolonialism in Africa, despite their efforts to frame everything around islamic terrorism.

So the USA needs something to sell the public on their rivalry with China, where they can be seen winning and being provoked. It's just that they have run out of arguably less clowny shit and now they are stuck beating the cyberattacks/brainwash/democracy dead horse again. Hoping that it's been dead long enough people forget it was ever alive and more effective.

 No.1798912

>>1798910
It's harder to sell another cold war also because China is so integrated into the US economy unlike the USSR. It was easier to sell the Soviet reds as the other. There wasn't Soviet products in the country and a good chunk of Soviet students in the US. The zoomers for the most part are neutral towards China than a strong hatred towards China. No one believes the democracy jargon and the belief that violence may be necessary for change is increasing in the US. It is not going to end well for the US and the elite may do a hail mary to save the empire and take China down with them.

Perhaps a shrizo take but the US needed the USSR to function.
>“Bush’s only foreign policy failure was his inability to save the USSR.“
Even Bush senior tried to save the USSR in 1991 and simply navigated the implosion. He had his chicken Kiev speech begging Ukraine to stay in the USSR.The fall of the USSR was ironically the beginning of the end of the post-WWII order and there was a faction in the Defense Department that was aware of that. The Soviet Union was deemed the great rival and enemy since 1945 and for it to go in a blimp was never seen as a real possibility even in 1990. Imagine your entire life of Kremlinology and international affairs centered on the USSR gone overnight. You can no longer say we need to have a bigger military budget because muh Soviets have a new nuke. The war on terror was an excuse but it doesn't have the longevity that having another superpower with opposite views than you have.And truth be told people were willing to listen to military hogwash just because the Soviets were hyped as a superpower who can take out the US. No one views China in the same way except that they use "insidious" attacks like muh balloons and "connections" to the cartels. No one except the most unhinged believe that nonsense.

Can't you guys stop talking about food? Obviously it's shit when you're in a besieged war zone.

So anyway, thoughts on a potential IDF offensive into Rafah? We already know that they haven't actually secured Gaza City and the fighting around Khan Yunis hasn't abated, too. This would stretch Israel's forces and focus too thin, and would make any additional de-mobilisation of soldiers (who are needed to work and keep the economy going) untenable.
I think Bibi and the IDF leadership are bluffing, and if not then they'd be retarded. It's a bad idea even from their perspective.

The end of the hegemony of the current imperial core will be a good thing, but will not mean communism is ushered in. This statement should be obvious, but apparently it isn't. Whenever people support the end of imperial core hegemony in the short term, there are always those who show up to "remind" everyone that

>1: multipolarity (an objectively emerging material condition which they call "multipolarism) is not communism,

>2: multipolarity will cause more geopolitical chaos
>3: the vilified rising star nations (BRICS+) are not communist
>4: you are duginist revisionist campist nazbol etc. if you critically support the periphery against the core.

Even more annoying than the above type of person are the JDPON (Joint Dictatorship of the Proletariat of Oppressed Nations) larpers, possibly trolls, or false flaggers, who actually do seem to pretend that the end of imperial core hegemony equals insta-JDPON. No. Obviously not. Obviously the imperial core waning in power means other countries rising in power. Obviously a new imperial core could form, just as it has in the past. Obviously the center of gravity of capital will continue to move around.

I think the real non-caricature hope among Communists is not that the end of imperial core hegemony equals insta-JDPON, but rather that, it will become harder and harder for imperial core capital to simply repeat the tricks of underdevelopment (coups, sanctions, embargoes, brain drain, destruction of fixed capital in warfare, etc.) which made it oh-so-easy for the core to use the periphery as a cheap labor source. Once "foreign" workers are, on average, just as cheap as "domestic" workers, due to equal levels of development, there will no longer be an incentive to outsource or brain drain. And once that happens, there will no longer be an easy scapegoat for reactionary politics. The domestic bourgeoisie will no longer be able to blame the foreign proletariat for "stealing jobs" and so on. International class consciousness will be on the rise.

Multipolarity, which is an emerging material condition, and not an ideology, is not an improvement in the mode of production itself, but an improvement in the potential conditions for raising class consciousness and encouraging international Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Thread for hating on the F-35 "Lightning II" stealth turkey a.k.a the most expensive military project in history to date.

The USAF declared it ready for service in 2016
As of that date the following problems I can list just off the top of my head
- Vulnerable to lightning; it's practically a lightning rod https://archive.is/QSIii
- 0 redundancies in the cyber or mechanical aggregates; any malfunction
- RADAR glitches means it literally ahs to be turned off and on again https://archive.ph/EEd9y
- Ejection seat is banned for anyone 136 pounds or below and anyone not above 150 pounds has significant injury risk, it literally can break your neck.
- F-35 helmets glow too brightly for air-to-air refueling https://archive.is/pKE0Y
- F-35 helmets are so heavy at nearly 5 kilograms so that maneuvers cause them to bang their heads on the inside of the cockpit https://archive.ph/WsRxA https://archive.ph/dE1gP
(keep in mind these helmets are 400,000 dollars each).
- The oxygen system is unreliable (something that the F-22 shares) https://archive.ph/kGGKq

The Plane was supposed to be ready by 2010-12 having been projected in the early 2000s
the list of problems in its past and that are remaining in various levels of urgency number over 800.

Syrian AD is non existent besides S-300 which is incorporated into Russian AD network and does not operate on its own. Every side of the conflict (Israel , US, Russia, Turkey) operates within their own area of operation and any strikes conducted outside of it done with some degree of a coordination between them when appropriate. US and Russia talk. They talk a lot and exchange information on positions of their forces and information on upcoming strikes to avoid the incenses. Same with Israel and Russia. Russia knows before hand when and what Israel is about to strike and Israel knows what areas are of limits for them.

Uh yes it is a seperate network, because otherwise that's an attack on Russian forces without provocation, which is a declaration of war, retard.

Yeah except that Turkey, Israel and the USA regularly violate these agreements and the no-fly zone and attack Syrian government forces that are literally fighting ISIS with air-strikes, which is why Syria responds in turn.

"Any malfunction or system failure would result in a catastrophic loss of the plane and possibly the pilot because of the lack in back-up systems.

>the most expensive military project in history to date.

Just to put more source and meaning to this. Back in June of 2012, the Government Accountability Office released a report called “Joint Strike Fighter: DOD Actions Needed to Further Enhance Restructuring and Address Affordability Risks,” in which it stated that the program might cost over $1 trillion to operate by the time it was finished, and at the time of the publication (pdf related) the expenditure on the program was $331.9 billion. Over a decade later and not only is the F-35 at roughly 50% capability, but it's expenditures exceeded the estimates, hitting 1.7 Trillion dollars and the number is rising. That's almost double the expected cost. By comparison the Gerald R. Ford Class Aircraft Carrier, which was developed and put into production in less than half the time period it took to create the F-35 has barely exceeded 40 Billion dollars. How is it that an AIRCRAFT CARRIER PROGRAM is LESS EXPENSIVE than THE STRIKE-FIGHTERS they're supposed to CARRY!? It's a Military-Industrial scam of epic proportions.

Anarchism (true socialism) is simply a conclusion of the dialectic of technology. Before the development of efficient technologies, the conclusion must be class domination. Once human efficiency can be outpaced though, the domination must be a joint leadership of collective and technic. This is why the true revolution is against Feudalism- the highest stage of pre-technology- and why Marxism has never taken hold in a fully capitalist nation. They have replicated a new feudalism with technology, but as that develops it only hastens its downfall. Capitalism is a midpoint of bureaucratic dictatorships (not unlike Marxist states) between two feudalisms.

rightoids always suck off the police because they believe the police prevent crime, and leftoids argue against this using a bunch of metrics and statistics showing that cops don't prevent crime and are in fact just the protectors of the wealthy. But this conclusion can be arrived at entirely through reason alone, without even needing a bunch of boring long term studies. one need only ask oneself a series of questions:

>what would happen if everyone stopped committing crimes? would the state disband the police?

<No! You can't just fire thousands of armed and dangerous people just because they aren't needed anymore. They will fuck your shit up. They're here to collect a check, whether they do real work or just engage in rent seeking thuggery.
>if society stopped committing crime and the state did somehow "disband the police" how would police respond?
<by throwing a shit fit, becoming violent criminals, and basically creating the demand for the police to return through their own violent actions, creating a paradox. if crime disappears, the police become the criminals, meaning crime cannot disappear.
>if the police would not disband if everyone stopped committing crimes, because they are in fact a group of armed people who are monopolizing violence, then can it really be said their job is to prevent crime?
<No. because if crime disappeared they would stick around, inducing the demand for their services by sowing chaos.
>If the police cannot be said to be stopping crime, then what is their real job?
<their real job must be the protection of the ruing class propagandists who claim that the police are stopping crime.
>who are the ruling class propagandists who claim that the police are stopping crime?
<the property owners.

I agree completely about the determined aspect of our being, but that also doesnt denote "materialism" as an ontology. "Materialism" is overstated today; its an old concept that is only revived by marxists. To me, materialism begins and ends with the enlightenment, which is due to the legacy of german idealism, which marx borrows from in hegel too.
"Dialectical materialism" was not something formalised in marx and engels' works, and only became known from the state philosophy of the soviet union under stalin, the same way "leninism" was also defined as a doctrine by stalin.
The dialectical process of marx is still ideal in structure; of history fulfilling its own idea, which is the same to hegel. Marx's inversion of hegel only comes in the scientific analysis of agency, where he puts emphasis in the mass, and where hegel puts agency in an enlightened minority.
Also, the "matter" of materialism is very different in concept than what we see today, and so it is literally outdated, i would even say, with einstein's relativity (where the newtonian absolutism is the model of matter as a uniform structure).
The scientific idea of cosmic evolution to me gives Idea to its dialectical process, where we begin with physics, which turns to chemistry and ends in biology. Like hegel, i find the completeness of nature in its phenomena, and so find the fullness of "matter" in this self-movement towards life.
Neo-darwinists would say this is also true, in that life expresses the chaos of the universe, but i also think there is "idea" to the very meaning of reality in this way. To me, biology is the meaning of physics, the same way man is the meaning of nature.
politically and socially, materialism occupies the discourse of "neutrality" where it attempts to supersede our kantian subjectivity by positing the notion of an "objective" perspective that you are only allowed to argue with on the terms set by materialists. This is the strategy of both liberals and communists alike [the children of leftism] since it debases the primacy of the qualitative [by dialectical self-reference, or concrete totality] into the quantitative, "objective" gaze of "facts and logic" or "reason" or "science". Reason thus is set as an epistemology from which the neutral party speaks and all others are irrational. This is the basis of the parliaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Good points. Ancient Rome was always an oligarchic system. Full stop. End of. The republican period was only "republican" because the two consuls - the officials acting as heads of state and government - were elected and stayed in office for a term of one year and they were barred from being re-elected straight away, while the mythological kings ruled for life and they were properly a monarchic - i.e. rule of one - kind of figure, but it has to be said that them too were elected. And btw, elective monarchies or other lifelong chieftainships in some eras and some places could be more common then hereditary ones, but that's another topic.
Also, "republican" institutions, conventions and traditions survived the institution of the "principality" - what we call the empire as having an emperor in power - with Augustus until the remaining western part of the empire was finally liquidated in the 5th century, but for the most part they only served ceremonial and symbolic functions. The real power struggle was between the Senate - and sometimes there were different senatorial factions fighting each other - and the emperors. Popular masses were for the most part manipulated by one or the other for their ends.
Getting back to the republican period, the Senate and the actual ruling classes always did whatever they could to stop consuls or other officials that showed excessive favour toward the poor and the dispossessed. Everyone know the story of the Gracchi brothers - both assassinated, one about a decade after the other - but other figures were relatively luckier: sometimes auspices just read some really nasty omen on the day a certain official had to be sworn in, so the guy got wind of the thing and renounced to get in office straight away.

Successful revolutions are, always were, and always will be the result of the popular uprising of the masses. While a vanguard party serves to strengthen and rally the masses to rise up against exploitation and imperialism, ultimately it is up to popular will to carry the revolution to victory.
A good example of this is the Islamic Revolution in Iran (I will skip over explaining why the revolution was historically progressive, feel free to do your own research). The Shah ran a powerful national security state but was nevertheless deposed by the sheer number of people in support of Khomeini – who acknowledged that his victory was only thanks to popular will. No amount of spying nor sabotage could stop the waves of people occupying the streets of Tehran, just the same as no police force being able to quell riots in 2020 in the USA.

As far as I can tell, surveillance is the purview of Blanquists, fascists, and anarchists, and not a concern for the revolutionary vanguard. Curious about your input though.

not really sure what you mean by all this but all i have to say is that if you think surveillance isnt necessary to stop counter revolution you really lack an understanding of history and exactly how stalins paranoia was justified to the point where he actually wasn't paranoid enough. at an absolute minimum for a starting point you have to know that nato was arming and training german/nazi partisans like the werewulf brigades to do terrorism and sabotage behind soviet line from 1945 all the way into 1956 with stalin dying in 53 not to mention the whole korean war thing with biological weapons and threatening to nuke moscow over opposition to the fascist italy/turkey/iran/taiwan coups. thats just while he was still alive without getting into vietnam and the abn/wacl, green berets, sas, special forces and jsoc being founded by ex-nazi ss officers, ibm and the holocaust, phoenix program and darpa/arpanet etc etc etc. throughout all this the soviets only had suspicions and they were later proven to be correct yet not even they understood how far reaching and pervasive the absolute degenerate insanity of standard oil and british petroleum would stoop too over getting cucked out of galacia and baku. they were literally the same people, linked the bush family that financed the holocaust and would later move to texas and get into us politics.

from the other side not worrying about surveillance means you are being complacent for when palantir and meta eventually stop only giving data to israel and border patrol and start sending the cia lists of people who make pro-communism posts on social media. counter examples to your iran example - indonesia, jakarta method, and all the places it was also implemented in, not to mention cointelpro for domestics. now imagine that but with facebook and twitter

The liberal revision of history and radical individualism fostered through education and media makes ideological arguments greatly biased against revolution. Which leaves offering material improvements, tangible benefits for the worker. And that hinges on not getting bagged or co-opted.

The point is you never get there because the revolutionary movements get nipped in the bud, before even *they* know they are a threat. And the discontent keeps getting channeled into forms of false consciousness like culture war spats or electoralism grifts over and over.

Marx's labor theory of value is derived from Adam Smith and Ricardo. It states that the value of a commodity is more or less equivalent to the average hours of labor it takes to produce it. It can explain why you will never be able to exchange a pencil for a fancy car.
You can find the core of it in the first chapter of Capital, beginning with considerations about utility and market exchange. It's a dense text, but it's a valuable thing to read, several times even, to be more knowledgeable about economics.

Under a popular front for issues such as drug decriminalization / legalization, opposing corporate interests, opposing bad government policies, antifascist demonstrations and many other single-issue politics - is marching alongside liberals viable?

A prime example of such a case would be the 1999 Seattle WTO protests. And the point of it is often not to endorse liberal reformism or even more pointless voting - but to be used as a means of spreading propaganda and solidarity among the working class. More recent examples would be the 2023 French pension reform protests, the Framers' protests in all of Europe, the 2021 Brazilian protests and thousands upon thousands more.

A leftcom Bordigist for example would oppose such activities as antifascism in general, because of these features of influencing the broader masses (including liberals) which are dubbed as class-collaboration and denounced.

It ultimately also becomes a debate of big-tent organizing and secular puritanism.

I also made this thread to mention the upcoming protest in Bulgaria - Sofia called 'Use is not Under the influence of' (Протест - "Употреба" не е "въздействие") which seeks to protest against the unjust laws that have come through the infamous american so called War on Drugs. The bulgarian people have been getting arrested and facing prison time for up to 8 years for possesing one joint. The protest against such laws however is mostly driven by liberals. Although I have heard that some Anarchists from the organizations of FAB (Federation of Anarchists in Bulgaria) & The Bulgarian Prisoners' Association will also likely be attending. The anarchist faction does not attend hoping to change things through voting or reforms, but rather seeks to spread awareness about the sort of police brutality that is enacted onto victimless crimes.

Is all of it worth it? Has it yielded any results, historically speaking?

woa i did not think bringing up that hakim bey was a pedophile rapist would make this happen. anyway OP, communists should always enter coalitions with clear short term and long term strategic goals in mind, and while maintaining the independence of the organization in question. its the flipside of the issue where communists orgs try to absorb movements by disguising their aims/infiltrating the leadership, but it has the same effect of fucking up clarity and discipline. its fine to enter into coalitions with any number and type of interest groups so long as it does not compromise the independence and integrity of the communist org in question. in the context of the US, that means its fine for a communist gun club to hold joint events with an NRA chapter if the latter is willing. in most cases the latter wont be willing because just short of all NRA chapters are also deeply anticommunist, and most are generally reactionary. if an NRA chapter was somehow willing to do joint events, but the leadership and/or many members were vocally and/or materially supporting reactionary causes, it would endanger the integrity of the communist gun club to work with them. if however a single chapter of the NRA was for the most part genuinely a single issue group, it wouldnt only be fine but absolutely should be done, with transparency and good faith.

the same goes for liberals, who will much more often have orgs and events in which coalitions with liberals are favorable. abortion rights, drug decriminalization, housing reform, etc., are all great examples. but as soon as these compromise the independence and integrity of the communists involved, they need to be avoided. its funny though, in most cases where this happen the communists join up with liberals thinking that theyre infiltrating or evangelizing, but then unsurprisingly once they become invested & friendly its the entryists that get converted to liberalism.

It's a DLC, it's not supposed to have long endings comparable to the base game.
Not to mention, it's also the fastest DLC to fully complete (all quests, challenges, unique items, locations etc). I only noticed that recently since this last playthrough was an autistic completionist min-maxing one.

What was the way that you guys used to reach New Vegas in your first playthrough?
I honestly think I'm the only one in existence who went through Hidden Valley, then to the Scorpion Gulch, past the El Dorado lake and then continued on normally through the 188.

Nobody knows about this version of events because they show up at the start of the game and are portrayed as the fodder enemies hassling the poor townsfolk. Even without gamer brain, you'd still have to go out of your way to talk to them to realize there's an option besides killing them, and once you do that you are hard-locked out of their content. They might have been meant to be better fleshed out. A lot of stuff was cut from the game.

The thing about the Powder Gangers is that they aren't really just one faction. There are 2 big groups with a coherent organisation with the rest being small bands in camps and roads that answer to no one.

The first of the big ones are that of Eddie's in the NCRF. These are anti-NCR, of course, but they're also raiders who harass towns not affiliated with the NCR like Goodsprings and Nipton (or used to for the last one), and also caravans.

The second one is that of Samuel Cooke in Vault 19. Cooke is who led the prisoner revolt in the first place, and then left NCRF with a group to the Vault. Under Cooke when the game is first started, they don't raid and are hostile to the NCR (infact they aren't even technically a part of the in-game Powder Ganger faction, so you can kill Eddie and most southern Powder Gangers without making Cooke's group hostile). The group is currently split between Cooke's faction who want to join the Great Khans, and Philip Lem's faction who want to surrender to the NCR. You can help either Cooke or Lem, ignore the quest, or blow up the Vault. Doing any of the latter two will result in the Vault 19 group becoming raiders in the endings, though.

What is the general consensus on Wikispooks? I don't see it being talked about that often on here.

I think it's a good source for normalfags but gives too much credit to right wingers and neo nazis by treating them like innocent journalists that are snuffed by the big evil gov/corps. Also Independent Journalism thread.

It only makes sense:
>enormous thirld world population, the majority of which are proles & peasents
>100 different communist parties, some of which control entire regions like Kerala
>currently run by a right-wing hinduist nutjob
>almost all the partisan Naxal forces have been curbed via US support & training
>no christian spooks
>90+% of the population would benefit

On the down side:
<heavy US presence
<no (proven) Chinese (CPC) intervention
<monopolization of politics by Modi
<Hindu spooks

There are many obstacles India's sub imperialist antics seem to be getting worse you know they are the goofus to China's gallant. Little nuclear energy, not manufacturing nuclear fuel or the hi tech equipment like Xray mirrors unlike Chinese & Russian state energy companies. They are getting more entrenched in US tech companies supply chains on the lower packaging and testing end, NOT foundry even lower end for general electronics that dont need hi precision foundry shit that TSMC has left open by not being able to expand due to it being unprofitable. At the same time the tech companies in the us are some of the last remaining truly profitable ones that aren't just totally weighed down by economic rents. And that's becauase they can still extract their own extreme monopoly rents. And india's helping to keep them afloat instead of becoming independent and creating a larger international foundry sector - that's a political choice by modi's gang working with the USA.
OTOH they are locked together as part of BRICS gang financially keeping Russia's oil flowing thru sanctions nicely among other things. I will post more about South Africa later. Although keep in mind half of Russia's oil went to China and that's not rly the same as India ferrying it to Yuros. Stay tuned :3

Been seeing leftoids trying to rally against expropriations on social media. Why would communists rally to defend a property-owning section of society from being expropriated? Communism is the movement of the entirely propertyless mass of proletarians, it's not their job to aid property owners from attempting to preserve or retrieve their property.

A translation of a book on the Shining Path being a CIA op just released. The book was apparently released in 1988 in Spanish, but this is the first time an English translation was made of the work.

From the translation foreward:
>Originally published in 1988, The CIA’s Shining Path (CIA Sendero Luminoso: Guerra Politica) was such an important work to Peruvian politics in its time that it even made its way into the National Library of Peru.
>ProleWiki was able to track down a copy of the book in the original Spanish and we are proud to be able to offer, for the first time ever, an English translation of this important work.
>Much like the author, we also hope this book sparks debate about the role of the Shining Path in Peruvian politics – continuing even to this day after the death of Abimael Guzman. But the richness of this text is not contained solely in the debates it might spark. Military doctrine, Peruvian politics, South American geopolitics, and of course a complete exposé on the inner workings and methods of the Shining Path: this is where the true value of this book lies. All of these topics are appropriately expanded upon, making The CIA’s Shining Path a vast repository of knowledge for all students of Marxism.

The book can be found here: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:The_CIA%27s_Shining_Path:_Political_Warfare. I want to see the gonzaloids cope with this one.

>this might sound like we are doing an anti-communism by making it seem like the shining path were cia
<does an anti-communism by doing just that
The crux of this tripe is that the Shining Path were not cia (even though everything from the title to the way the prose is worded paints that bad faith picture) but conducted itself the same way cia outfits did at the time even though all the tactics in creating fake fronts (which were usually always rightwing) the cia used they literally got from them spying on rebel/guerilla movements which include communist movements and using those same tactics in their schemes ala Gladio. This shit wasn't even written by communists and has been used to delegitimize a real fucking revolution that happened in Peru where many died and struggled for liberation. Shame on all the bastards who paint themselves red yet push this blatant anti-communist work.

For the record the reason why I'm not putting this in the USApol general is because I feel like what's talked about here can be applied to any major city that thrives on gambling, nightlife, and the general idea of "vice".

Las Vegas, for those that are unfamiliar with it, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world or good reason. With larger than life resorts, oversized casinos, drinks and gambling all abound, and of course crippling poverty and gaudy stark concrete the moment you look off the Vegas Strip. Gambling aside, there's a ridiculous amount of live shows, concerts, oddball museums, overpriced clubs, and most of all constant grifters. As in "the moment you step outside the resort you're going to have at least three people aggressively panhandle you within five minutes" type not seen outside LA. Also there's a giant emoji ball which stares at you in a vaguely menacing manner if you walk close enough.

So yeah, it's pretty much a microcosm of all that is wrong with capitalism, with the added bonus of its night life existing because of actual mafiosos. But there's also quite a lot of shit there, and more importantly a lot of people. So my question is this: if America underwent a communist revolution, be it by ballot or bullet and by whatever flavor of radical leftism you want, what would happen to Vegas? Would it still exist largely as it is today? How heavily would it need to be modified to be reintegrated as part of socialist society? Do we demolish it entirely and replace it with something else? Do we leave it to rot, as a monument to the failures of capitalism?

Las Vegas is also a major hub for trade shows and conferences because of the abundant convention halls, hotels, etc.

I was raised by rational atheist Skeptic™ people and went there as a kid with the parents to attend one of their conferences, so I was in the middle of the Strip hanging around a conventional hall full of atheists and some of them asking panelists like "what do you think about putting weapons in space???" I also ran into Penn Jillette, the libertarian magician, who was hanging out and was like "augh fuck I'm hungry mma go get McDonald's." (He's fat.)

Also reminder the Jason Unruhe's line on Fallout: New Vegas is critical support for New Vegas' independence and resistance to the inter-imperialist conflict between the NCR and Legion. That seems correct to me.

broadly the same as what will happen to any other urban area
it might be downsized a bit since the gambling stuff that attracts investment will obviously be gone
