FUCKING GLOWIES FINALLY FUCKING DID IT
fuckers have finally lost their fucking shit theyre gonna send the entire planet into another cold war.
>The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has announced a new group that will focus solely on China and the strategic challenges posed by Beijing.
>In a statement on Thursday, the CIA said the China Mission Center was formed “to address the global challenge posed by the People’s Republic of China that cuts across all of the agency’s mission areas”
<The group is just one of fewer than a dozen mission centres operated by the CIA and will hold weekly, director-level meetings meant to better coordinate the agency’s strategy towards China.
<It will address global issues critical to US competitiveness, the CIA said, such as emerging technologies, economic security, climate change and health challenges.
>CIA Director William Burns said the new mission centre “will further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st century, an increasingly adversarial Chinese government”.
“Throughout our history, CIA has stepped up to meet whatever challenges come our way,” Burns said in a statement on Thursday. “And now facing our toughest geopolitical test in a new era of great power rivalry, CIA will be at the forefront of this effort.”
>The announcement comes amid a wider prioritisation by the administration of President Joe Biden on countering Beijing.
>In June, Biden announced a new task force at the Pentagon to assess and respond to Beijing’s military challenge.
<Relations between the two superpowers have been particularly strained in recent days with China flying military planes near the self-governed island of Taiwan. However, a US official said on Wednesday that Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to hold a virtual meeting by the end of this year.
>China is considered an especially difficult challenge for the US intelligence community given the insularity of its Communist Party leadership, its large military and security services, and its development in advanced technologies that can counter spying.
>Underscoring the challenge, the CIA recently sent a memo to its agents around the world admitting that it was experiencing a shortage of informants from other countries, with some captured or killed, the New York Times and the Washington Post reported.
>The CIA and FBI recently unearthed dozens of cases of China recruiting US citizens to supply it classified or corporate proprietary information, as well as instances of Chinese citizens working in the US as intelligence collectors.
>The CIA also announced on Thursday that it will designate a chief technology officer for the first time as part of a broader effort to implement advanced computing methods at the agency.

It is hard to express my disgust and anger over this nonentity De Blasio, and others of his ilk who impose their subjective hurt feelings and pseudo-moral finger wagging at what was truly great and progressive, and of world-historic significance. These morons, as the article correctly states, are gifting the fascists who are overjoyed that these poseurs of "progressivism" are spitting on the individuals and ideas that are currently under attack by both capitalist parties. It is certainly the case that it is only the international working class, led by the Marxist party that will simultaneously preserve and advance the great liberating ideas of Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln and the rest.

I like to see what others have and we need a thread to combine all the good materials.
Here I concentrated on the fact that Pol-Cel Nazis can literally not read more then 50 characters of text and are proud of it.
For these idiots everything must be a "meme" or have a "joke". Pol-cels are oblivious to the fact that others are giving them information and knowledge not jokes or memes.
Did anyone else observe this behavior from Pol-Cels ?
These idiots are unable to read children literature let alone anything important.
It looks like daddy Hitler hates people who can read or have attention spans greater then ADHD gold fish.
I never imagine the ability to have a attention span or read more then 50 characters of text will ever be something that I need to argue for. However here we are !

So what exactly is to be done about the left's awful image? We can all agree that radlibs make it cringe to be an open leftist, such as on 4chan where I spent most of my time when I was banned from here. It's kind of a shame that you can't just call yourself a lefty without someone who is pretending to be a millionaire telling you how much Karl Marx is a sucky without going into further detail. I think it's because of the fact that rad libs ruin the experience for everyone, they and not decades of old propaganda are doing the real damage to leftism and porky knows it. He attaches leftist labels into liberal causes and then ships them out for lib consumption. So how exactly do we deal with radlibs? We all agree they are a problem but how exactly should we deal with them? I think we should gatekeep them honestly. They should have to be made to repent for being radlibs, make being a radlib in public humiliating (More so than it already is)

Reading General
Hello leftypol, we noticed an under-appreciation for the theory that upholds our political ideologies: As such, we have decided to revive the reading sticky! This thread will be dedicated to the sharing, discussing, and general banter about various leftist thinkers, theories, and political outlooks.But, other than that, we believe there are other important reads that must be addressed, especially, for beginners and those just now getting into leftism.
Don't forget to check out >>>/edu/ for more reading and discussion!

Soviet History Books from the USSR?
Hey /edu/ bros, I'd like to find out if there are any books on Soviet history from historians in the USSR that an English speaker could read? I know there's Trotsky's history of the revolution, but I'm looking for something more comprehensive, covering at least up until the Khrushchev period, if possible. I feel like when people argue about Soviet history, we always toss around names like Conquest, Applebaum, Kotkin, Getty, Tauger, and yes even the dark lord of history Grover Furr, but the only Russian historian I see often on here is Zemzov, but I only know him from graphs and citations. Would very much appreciate feedback, thanks.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A gang that kidnapped 17 members of a U.S.-based missionary group demanded $1 million ransom per person, although authorities were not clear whether that amount included the five children being held, a top Haitian official said Tuesday.
The official, who was not authorized to speak to the press, told The Associated Press that someone from the 400 Mawozo gang made the demand Saturday in a call to a leader of the ministry group shortly after the abduction.
A person in contact with the organization, Christian Aid Ministries, confirmed the $1 million per person demand, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. That person spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation.
The adults range in age from 18 to 48, the children from 8 months to 15 years, according to a statement from the organization on Tuesday. Sixteen of the abductees are Americans and one Canadian.
“This group of workers has been committed to minister throughout poverty-stricken Haiti,” the Ohio-based ministry said, adding that the missionaries worked most recently on a project to help rebuild homes lost in a magnitude-7.2 earthquake that struck on Aug. 14.
The group was returning from visiting an orphanage when it was abducted, the organization said.
Responding to the recent wave of kidnappings, workers staged a protest strike that shuttered businesses, schools and public transportation starting Monday. The work stoppage was a new blow to Haiti’s anemic economy. Unions and other groups vowed to continue the shutdown indefinitely.
In a peaceful demonstration Tuesday north of Port-au-Prince, dozens of people walked through the streets of Titanyen demanding the release of the missionaries. Some carried signs that read “Free the Americans” and “No to Kidnapping!”
“They built our schools. They pay our bills,” Zachary Celus said. “They do everything for us. So now we can’t do anything because they kidnapped them.”
Meanwhile, an ongoing fuel shortage worsened, and businesses blamed gangs for blocking roads and gas distribution terminals.
Hundreds of motorcycles zoomed through the streets of Port-au-Prince as the drivers yelled, “If there’s no fuel, we’re going to burn it all down!”
One protest took place near the prime minister’s residence, where police fired tear gas to disperse a crowd demanding fuel.
In Washington, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that the FBI was “part of a coordinated U.S. government effort” to free the missionaries. The American Embassy in Port-au-Prince was coordinating with local officials and the hostages’ families.
“We know these groups target U.S. citizens who they assume have the resources and finances to pay ransoms, even if that is not the case,” she added, noting that the government has urged citizens not to visit Haiti.
It is longstanding U.S. policy not to negotiate with hostage takers, and Psaki declined to discuss details of the operation.
The kidnapping was the largest of its kind reported in recent years. Haitian gangs have grown more brazen as the country tries to recover from the July 7 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse and the earthquake that killed more than 2,200 people
Jean-Louis Abaki, a moto taxi driver who joined the strike Monday, urged authorities in the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation to act. He said if Prime Minister Ariel Henry and National Police Chief Léon Charles want to stay in power, “they have to give the population a chance at security.”
At least 328 kidnappings were reported to Haiti’s National Police in the first eight months of 2021, compared with a total of 234 for all of 2020, according to a report issued last month by the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti.
Gangs have been accused of kidnapping schoolchildren, doctors, police officers, bus passengers and others. Ransom demands range from a few hundred dollars to millions.
U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said American officials have been in constant contact with Haiti’s National Police, the missionary group and hostages’ relatives.
“This is something that we have treated with the utmost priority since Saturday,” he said, adding that officials are doing “all we can to seek a quick resolution to this.”
Christian Aid Ministries said the kidnapped group included six women, six men and five children. A sign on the door at the organization’s headquarters in Berlin, Ohio, said it was closed due to the kidnapping situation.
News of the kidnappings spread swiftly in and around Holmes County, Ohio, hub of one of the largest populations of Amish and conservative Mennonites in the United States, said Marcus Yoder, executive director of the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center in nearby Millersburg, Ohio.
Christian Aid Ministries is supported by conservative Mennonite, Amish and related groups that are part of the Anabaptist tradition.
The organization was founded in the early 1980s and began working in Haiti later that decade, said Steven Nolt, professor of history and Anabaptist studies at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. The group has year-round mission staff in Haiti and several countries, he said, and it ships religious, school and medical supplies throughout the world
Haiti gang seeks $1M each for kidnapped US missionaries

Yes, the heading/title is clickbait. No, it is not ironic or a shitpost. Compared to the petit-bourgeoisie, the bourgeoisie IS based. STOP SIMPING FOR THE PETIT BOOJ. The petit booj, especially the rural petit booj is even more reactionary and the source of far more rightoid rage than the booj. This is where the Marjorie Taylor Greenes and the Alex Joneses of the world come from.
The full force of neoliberal, malthusian urban technocapital must be unleashed against the barbarians of the hinterlands.
Urbanization is a natural part of the process of proletarianization and therefore progressive. Similarly the process of competition which winnows down the pool of capitalists into smaller and smaller concentrations, into monopolies and oligopolies, is progressive as those companies will ultimately be easier to nationalize than 500 different small mom and pop shops which are inefficient and duplicate tons of work anyway.
Let their farms undercut and bought out, their small businesses driven into the dust, and their towns seized by eminent domain and bulldozed over for agricorps to turn into farmland. Let them be driven into the cities where they can be urbanized and thereby proletarianized. Let capital run it’s course and civilize the savages.
>inb4 some crypto /pol/tards show up to muh blood and soil rural ooga booga
BTW people who deny this are what Marx and Engels would have called bourgeois socialists or petit bourgeois socialists. They want to undo capitalism by going back to some idealized vision of early to mid 19th century economic relations.

The proof of Britain’s role in inciting what the CIA later described as “one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century” lies in another leafy suburb. In declassified Foreign Office documents – held far beyond the 20-year rule – in Kew in London. Recently released in Britain’s National Archives are pamphlets purporting to be written by Indonesian patriots, but in fact written by British propagandists, calling on Indonesians to eliminate the PKI, then the biggest communist party in the non-communist world.

That’s it that’s actually the answer, you would think with so many ghost towns there’s bound to be a housing surplus but in actuality only around 60% of the population is urban leaving a 40% still living in unindustrialized rice farms and hence there’s plenty of room available for massive growth under the belief that the CCP government still gives a shit about modernizing China post Mao and learning to innovate on its own.

The whole concept of marketing is a subcategory of manipulation. The intention is to change your perception of a brand to increase sales and therefore profits. One part of marketing is the way a company and its workers will communicate with people, frequently leading to insincere assertions and creepy cult-like trends. I'd like to see discussed cases where companies have developed obsessed 'fanboys' or an almost religious cult, and understand how they do it.
There are probably technical terms for these things and I'll like to hear them. Think of ideas like:
> We're a family
< Your friends at [company]
< We care about your privacy
> Personification of inanimate objects
< "Meet [this product]" uygha it's a fucking computer chip
< "Hey Google"/"Hey Alexa"
< Windows 10+ using words like "we" to humanize a computer program
> Illusion of empowerment
< Enjoy [x]… Your Way
< "Made for you." (to describe a mass-produced phone that allows you to choose from a few colors)

Neoliberalism isn’t gonna survive past next decade, and when I say it’s not gonna survive I mean it’s gonna die globally not even in the USA it’s just too inefficient as a form of capitalism meaning what’s next is either a return to libertarian policies or fascism for most capitalist states with France already bordering fascism
The USA won’t dissolve as a state(you’d be surprised at how fucked a country needs to get to even reach that point without foreigners trying to annex the country) but the bourgeoisie of that country is gonna have to prepare for massive losses because the recent mass strikes and labour epidemics is reflecting an oncoming trend of increasing resentment for the rich in general and shows how far worker abuse can realistically go before capitalists can no longer exploit proles before either losing influence or becoming fascistic, a trend that’s been documented for years now as more Americans than ever identify as socialists, want the wealthy to pay heavier taxation and most of how public services in the USA to be either reformed or abolished. The future for them is gonna be fascistic because based off American history that’s pretty standard but it’s also likely that they will receive some sort of improved social welfare and living standards as American cities naturally grow and more rural Americans migrate to them
They won’t die but there certainly gonna reform drastically

I am getting transgender news only from right wing sources apparently and because I feel gay rights and transgender rights are fully promoted and being used to suppress other rights by neoliberals (I dont have any problem with any of those, I just feel they take massive air time and discussion time, like how the holocaust is only about jews disregarding the other half massacred and being used by Israel to suppress criticism) I am feeling a bit reactionary on the topic lately. Maybe it just that I am fed too much propaganda in all honesty.
What is the definite book or even good written article that I should read on gay/transgender (are those called identity) rights. Thank you.

We're running what is essentially the Marxist counterpart to The Anarchist Library, same software and all. There are a few advantages this software provides us over a traditional site like marxists.org:
>uses a database for storing data, easier to maintain over time
>texts are formatted in a simple markup language, adding new texts is incredibly easy
>site automatically generates various formats of ebooks for use on different devices or even printing
>advanced search and browsing function
and best of all, it's public, so anyone can contribute! Whether adding new translations or just fixing a typo on an already published piece, anyone can help!
The goal of the archive is to be a public place anyone can use to publish Marxist literature in a general sense, whether republished content from other sources, or new translations and original writings. We try to be non-sectarian, as our community itself is diverse. We'll let most classic works be published right away, but original pieces will require a closer look by moderation.
We've already published a few different pieces so you can see for yourself how it all works. For example this one: archive.marxists.xyz/library/friedrich-engels-principles-of-communism
We'd love to have contributions from you! We also invite the translation team at >>2085 to publish their work on our site.

To sum up, as it says in the title, this entire strand of thought is more or less an intelligence operation carried out mostly by pedophiles, with a strong satanic/ esoteric influence. On top of this, there are several interesting connections to these operations and operatives and Zionism.
The purpose of these operations, as are the purpose of all CIA operations, is to suppress and destroy the real movement that abolishes the present state of things, the mass movement organised workers, the socialist and communist movement.

Sayyid Qutb, the father of modern salafi jihadism, see any two bit mullah could rile up an uneducated peasant into blowing himself up but Qutb created a comprehensive and revamped version of jihadism made for the inteligencia and upper class society
>Qutb never married, in part because of his steadfast religious convictions. While the urban Egyptian society he lived in was becoming more Westernized, Qutb believed the Quran taught women that 'Men are the managers of women's affairs …'[37] Qutb lamented to his readers that he was never able to find a woman of sufficient "moral purity and discretion" and had to reconcile himself to bachelorhood.[38]
>Qutb noted with disapproval the openly displayed sexuality of American women:
>the American girl is well acquainted with her body's seductive capacity. She knows it lies in the face, and in expressive eyes, and thirsty lips. She knows seductiveness lies in the round breasts, the full buttocks, and in the shapely thighs, sleek legs – and she shows all this and does not hide it, These curvy jezebels then pursue boys with wide, strapping chests and ox muscles
>He also commented on the American taste in arts:
>The American is primitive in his artistic taste, both in what he enjoys as art and in his own artistic works. "Jazz" music is his music of choice. This is that music that the Negroes invented to satisfy their primitive inclinations, as well as their desire to be noisy on the one hand and to excite bestial tendencies on the other. The American's intoxication in "jazz" music does not reach its full completion until the music is accompanied by singing that is just as coarse and obnoxious as the music itself. Meanwhile, the noise of the instruments and the voices mounts, and it rings in the ears to an unbearable degree… The agitation of the multitude increases, and the voices of approval mount, and their palms ring out in vehement, continuous applause that all but deafens the ears

Moore's law is about 41.3% growth a year or about 2.93% a month.
So AI ability is growing FASTER than that. AI could be getting 60+% better a year hell Ray Kurzweils statement of "doubling every 10 months" could be true.
If AI is getting better that fast and can already do a bunch of basic things how long until it can do everything, not long I say.

Our enemies are (mostly) retarted
Even in the darkest hour of reaction, their is one thing that we can be optimistic about. Our class enemies by in large are fucking retarded. Most business owners, and ceos, are basically just small business owners and ceos who just won popularity contests. Most of the people who in managment in coroporations are extremly dull, and completly lack strategic thinking. THye are all living day to day and thinking day to day, about what resturant they want to eat at, or if their kid got good school grades, or what car they want to buy. They aren't strategic thinkers. If you want evidence just go talk to you manager for a little bit, every job I've had they were all extremely dull, many of them simply lacked the mental capabilities to properly do their job, and had assistant managers or other helpers who did all their work for them. If anecdotal evidence isn't enough then just look at MySpace, all of the people their just ignored the signs that their company was dying, and just went about their days until they all got jobs somewhere else. Or look at how oblivious the roman empire was to its own collapse, or gorby ignoring the failure of his reforms, or how nazi germany and imperal japan kept denying that they were loosing WW2. All of these people did what they did because they were retards who didn't know what the effects of their actions were. They weren't visionary thinkers or people who analyzed history. They were just a bunch of stumbling idiots. Their is nothing to suggest that the CEOs of the world are different, and their empire will collapse around them as they through parties in their castles, like all emperors of dying empires in history that have came before them.

So, Mark Fisher and the "lost future" have become such a cliché on the online left that it's barely interesting to talk about, but people usually focus on the death of _cultural_ imagination, and explain it in terms of _cultural_ factors. What I wanted to ask is more material: does anyone get a sense that there is no real substantial technological development coming in the next 10-20 or even 50 years? Isn't the reason we're unable to conceive of a new futurism simply that there is no future promised at all, not just by the artists but the actual technologists who were supposed to deliver it to us?
The futurists we wax nostalgic about were envisioning worlds that they thought were just around the corner, and that they thought could actually change their lives and make possible entirely new experiences: where you could be anywhere in the world within hours if not minutes; where we could explore and inhabit places no one had ever been able to explore (whether the ocean, space, or wherever); where we'd be able to live for centuries if we so chose.
Regardless of how accurate such visions were, they're gone now; and it's not like there weren't many amazing technological changes in the past few decades. But the amazing things that are in the cards don't seem like they're destined for _us_. They might be something our children and grandchildren will experience, but not us. Space, immortality, wherever. I'm not trying to start a discussion on whether these things are even desirable, by the way; I'm just trying to exemplify something more general.
What does seem like it's coming soon just feels… meaningless. Self-driving cars just let you not drive your car. Big deal; it's a slightly less stressful version of the bus experience. Oh, and they might cause massive unemployment, but that's not something to be excited about, exactly, is it? And who cares about smart appliances; so what if you can have a conversation with your toilet?
My point is, it feels like the "near future" has died not because we've stopped imagining it but because no one is actually developing it. All the technologies that are coming feel like one of either:
>stuff that makes your life slightly more convenient or efficient or cheaper, but not significantly more so
>stuff that will make life considerably better but only for a very small group of people
The hypotheses I have are:
>I'm alone in feeling like this and am being irrationally cynical. If so, fair enough
>there is widespread skepticism of the capacity of technology or corporations to actually better our lives, such that with any new invention we simply can't help but imagine the ways in which it will be disappointing or make our lives worse, regardless of how accurate this is
>most corporations have no interest in pursuing genuinely life-changing technologies, because slightly improving existing ones is a safer bet
>life-changing technological advancements have always been rare and we've only ever thought otherwise because of marketing and misleading histories

Despite Outcry, Japanese Prime Minister Urges Swift Release of Fukushima Wastewater Into Sea
A South Korean official on Monday denounced Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's call to begin releasing contaminated wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea starting in 2023. Kishida, who took office last month, visited the plant over the weekend and said the plan to release more than one million tonnes of water into the sea over 30 years should not be delayed.

Just as we have rejected anglo propaganda about Stalin and lenin, should we also reject anglo propaganda about Pol Pot?
He was basically a socialist who wanted to build his country in peace so anglos made up lies about a supposed "genocide". Sound familiar?
