And so i had to temporarily stop HRT and i feel like i'm dying, currently in a state of induced menopause for a couple of months more and my god, the cold sweats, my throat closes because of the anxiety, depersonalization and disociation makes it hard to do anything besides bedrotting and playing fast paced shooters that let me keep my brain in a constant state of focus in such tasks
and i swear to god, the only thing keeping me from letting me fall apart right now, since my mother decided to stop talking to me because i refused to boymode for her, it's my boyfriend and our future together raising our children in Spain and having them visit their grandparents in Mรฉxico- which hopefully won't go to hell because my brother's gen decide to elect a right winger as president of Mรฉxico to fuck everything up and sell everything to Israel and the US.

Thread guidelines:
โข Please remember to add a spoiler to NSFW and extreme content such as graphic violence and gore.
โข Try your best to not derail discussion too much from the main events and relevant places where the war is taken place, as well as other happenings, groups and public figures related to it.
โข Meta discussion of the historical, philosophical and ideological background of the war is fine as long as its done in good faith and comradely.
โข In the event the meta discussion overstays its welcome, participating users will be referred to take the conversation to the INTERNATIONALISM general thread.
โข Quality shitposting and original content is encouraged! Spamming glowie memes is low effort.
โข this is /ISG/ for people who treats geopolitics like shitty map games
โข behead NATO, crush NATO, etc.
โข boasting about getting laid in a warzone is fucking weird, okay?

Laws, religion, governments, wars, technology and farming destroyed us as a species
Think about it. Humans have been around for 300,000 years and didn't have code of law until the last 3,800 during the Bronze Age when Hammurabi ruled Mesopotamia. Before that, humans were animals just like any other. Before the farming revolution of the neolithic period 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, we were all hunter-gatherers. The moment we switched from stones to metal was the moment humanity messed up. When we were cave and hut dwellers, our world was way different. Humans are going outside of their very nature to enslave itself, basically. Laws, religions, all of these are forms of control. We need to stop pretending we are above other animals. We are destroying the world with our bullshit.

Chaos Theory and MGS3 proably my two favorite stealth games
MGS vs Splinter Cell ideology
MGS Aside does Splinter Cell critique anything on the right, yeah I know tom clancy blah blah, but I thought it's funny because Chaos Theory is directed by a Socialist and the first game by a Liberal which I find ironicChaos Theory and MGS3 proably my two favorite stealth games

Workkkers of the world, divide!
Workers of the world, do not, under any circumstances, unite. You don't look the same. You don't speak the same language. You don't worship the same Gods. You don't have the same history. You don't agree on history, science, philosophy, biology. You don't have the same art styles or aesthetic tastes. You don't have the same GDP. You don't have the same natural resources. You don't have the same supply chains. You don't have the same interests. You don't like each other. In fact, workers from other countries would gladly kill you if their governments told them to. And you would kill them too. And if you wouldn't, other workers would. And you will never ever ever ever overcome that. If a country is 0.0000000000000001% more imperialist than yours it is full of irredeemable treatlerite """workers""" who must be put to the sword. If a country is 0.0000000000000001% less imperialist than yours it is full of weak untermensch vermin who must kneel to your might. Don't you see? This is how it is supposed to be. You have everything to lose! You have nothing to gain but even tighter chains!

I reached mid 20s with barely any experience, autism made sure of that. Kissed a drunk lesbian once, I don't even think I looked that cute for a guy in his 20s, so I was honored more than anything. Broke up a friendship with a trans girl after some hasty choices, but she was crazy anyways. Now focusing on friends, making and deepening them.
Wish I had a man I understood and was understood by, someone light-hearted and whimsical to have fun with on the short time I have here on Earth. Femboy-ish ig, not masculine, but takes care of himself, with a touch of femininity to him. Impartial on sex, willing to do it, might be fun even.
One thing I like is the idea of relations as temporary, serial monogamy if you will. I'm all for loyalty while in a relation, but that doesn't necessarily mean it must be forever and ever. People change, why shouldn't their relations? Admittedly I do see the romance in a lifelong relation, sticking with someone and changing together with them. Besides looking for a new partner every x amount of years sounds exhausting.

In most cases the EIC formed alliances with regional rivals and local elites who were acting in their own political and strategic self-interest. These groups were not passive victims manipulated into conflict, they saw cooperation with the British as the best way to advance their own ambitions and often they achieved many of their goals through those alliances.
While I'm thinking primarily about South Asia, the exact same narratives appear is most third world societies. Former colonies often claim they were conquered because the colonizers "divided and conquered" them, implying that major social, political or ethnic divisions either did not exist before colonialism and shouldn't matter now.
I'm curious have socialist historians or theorists argued against the simplified "divide and conquer" narrative or offered a more nuanced explanation of how colonialism relied on alliances with local elites, existing class structures, and pre-existing political conflicts?
The validity of the "divide and conquer" narratives
Growing up in my country I constantly read in our textbooks that the British conquered us because they divided us and that this should serve as a reminder that national unity is the only way to avoid foreign domination. But the historical reality doesn't show that.In most cases the EIC formed alliances with regional rivals and local elites who were acting in their own political and strategic self-interest.

What is to be done with Poles and other Volkerabfaelle?
The Polish Question
Third worldism taught us that oppressed nations can become oppressors once they snatch a seat at the imperial table. Poles were once white negroes. Now NATO uniforms wash away solidarity. Marx exalted them. Today, the city of COMECON friendship kisses the Pentagon's boot and calls it sovereignty. Yesterday's revolutionary becomes today's border guard.What is to be done with Poles and other Volkerabfaelle?

She's clearly nerdy and shy which gets me going. She comes in and makes tea while wearing neon blue headphones sometimes and is oblivious. I like watching her bend over the copy machine.
Anyways, I'm pretty sure it would be a bad idea to actually hit on her, I really like this job and I'm 33 (though young looking) and she's like in her early 20s I think so I don't wanna get fired for being a groomer or whatever. Plus I just don't wanna make things awkward in general or make her uncomfortable at work.
What should I do anons? Other than furiously jerk off thinking about her? Should I embrace my chaser urges? What if she likes me too?
I keep lusting after this girl at my work that I think is trans
There's this girl at my work who I really wanna cuddle up with/bang, she's like a recent graduate student or something, at first she was really shy but gotten more friendly over time. She's really tall and I kinda get the vibe she might be a transgirl, not like I can just ask obviously, or not like it really matters, but I feel fantasizing about fucking her cute ass. I wanna get her to warm up with me more and get more comfortable with each other.She's clearly nerdy and shy which gets me going.

I kinda just hate being a woman in general, but I hate being a man even more. I don't desire to dominate others or submit, I just want to be an equal.
I just wish I wasn't apart of a group that is constantly a joke to 99% of humanity. I don't even feel like I belong to trans spaces, I don't really get along with most trans ppl.
I feel like I'm literally just a cis woman in my life, but fate decided that my body be 95% cis, well besides a lack of a functioning vagina/uterus.

Doing Time
If you are queer in prison you are statistically much more likely to get abused and raped than if you are a literal child molester. I doubt leftists would fare much better in the hyper macho rightoid environment that prison is. Not to mention the guards that will intentionally set you up to get attacked if they dont like your politics. I have done time in a criminally insane institution though im not sure how much authotity i have to speak on this considering the environment is a usually regarded and softer and my crime was not necessarily political, even though we had rape and beatdowns there too, though i kept my opinions on anything to myself and minded my own bussiness so i avoided the bulk of the drama. Still, leftists have a big disadvantage on this front considering any type of violent action in service of the revolution will have to face this reality. This will deter a lot of people and i feel especially sad for the queer people that endure so much violence form the right yet cant retaliate because the alternative is being thrown into a sadistic rape dungeon to be tortured till suicide by both cops and inmates. This is a major blackpill a lot of people here are not ready to swallow.

While being a stupid bi moid, I've always been drawn to a very androgynous look because of a certain aversion to masculinity and many things associated with it - I'm very proud of my long hair, and I know that if I ever get a receding hairline, It'll be either Turkey or the rope due to body dysmorphia. One of the best experiences of my life was being accidentally misgendered and hit on by a drunk alt lesbian. The whole general male pickup culture, its toxicity, and the way it objectifies the other person really disgusted me - not to mention that most of the foids, and people in general, seemed like goycattle not worth paying attention to and devoid of any interests.
About a year ago, I met a older than me twink at a philosophy group at uni. He also had an andro appearance, we shared a similarly complex view of gender, he was also bi and a bottom (it wasn't hard to figure out) - he studied something related to HR, and I started to appreciate his genuine, even a little naive, woke stance, especially compared to the cynicism that had built up in me. As time went on, I started to like him more and more and wanted to spend as much time with him as possible; I even waited in places where I knew he would be passing by, hoping to bump into him *by chance*. At some point, I realized that I was romantically attracted to him.
This is a post in style of "i am a sad lonely faggot, here's some embarrassing information about me, please dont bully me with it", but honestly, I've never had any experience with picking up or flirting. So I feel pathetic because I can't even convey to him that I like him. I've known him for a year - we even ride the same train home from our philosophy group - but I don't know how to subtly let him know how much I want to fuck him and give him a blowjob. I know my problem is just me being a pathetic loser, but how the fuck do I pick up a theymab woke twink?

Hello, guy who is discovering his bisexuality here. Iโm into feminine guys and consider myself dom, but I also want to suck dick. Is that interpreted as a submissive act? I see it as an act of appreciation and a good looking dick looks like something I want to put in my mouth. Would subs interpret this as a contradiction and no longer see me as dom? Or is this highly individualistic with no general tendency to speak of? Iโm likely very biased by a straight viewpoint, so I was wondering.

How do i stop feeling like a creep?
How do i stop feeling like a chaser?
I love trans women but i also love cis women and guys and i genuinely see tgirls as real women. I consider support for the trans community an integral part of my political worldview yet every time i see one and think shes hot i always have that though go through my head and i feel disgusted by myself. This happens specially when i watch trans porn even though thats just one of the many types of porn i watch. It got to the point that if i ever met a transwoman in real life id be too scared to even look at her let alone talk to her for fear that i might come off as a chaser. I do have ocd which might play a part but it is not one of the main themes currently so i dont think its that aloneHow do i stop feeling like a creep?

I definitely don't want to be a man, but something keeps me from fully feeling like a woman. I don't feel any solidarity or strong connection to men or women; I see them as alien to me and mired in an unnecessary idpol. I feel uncomfortable when I have to identify my gender. It's like I'm a third gender or something. Is this normal and will it go away with time? I've been on HRT for a little over half a year, obviously boymoding.

The shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt toward individual responsibility and the presumption of innocence was gradual rather than revolutionary. In many ancient and medieval societies, families, clans, villages, or entire communities could be held liable for the actions of one member, and accused individuals often had to prove their innocence through oaths, ordeals, or social standing. These proofs were often ritual in nature and lacked scientific rigor. Over centuries, especially under the influence of Roman legal principles, canon law, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and liberal constitutionalism, legal systems increasingly emphasized that guilt should be based on evidence against a specific individual rather than group affiliation. Thinkers such as Beccaria and Blackstone argued that protecting the innocent from wrongful punishment was more important than maximizing convictions, leading to higher standards of proof, formal rules of evidence, due process, and the modern principle that the prosecution bears the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Despite these legal prohibitions, governments and armed groups have at times been accused of imposing measures that amount to collective punishment, especially during wars, occupations, and counterinsurgency campaigns. Whether a specific case qualifies is often legally and politically disputed.
The transformation from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual liability and the presumption of innocence was driven largely by changes in state capacity and legal administration. As governments became stronger, more centralized, and more bureaucratic, they relied less on kinship groups to police their own members and more on professional courts, investigators, and judges. Improved record-keeping, forensic methods, written legal codes, and standardized procedures made it increasingly feasible (but not necessarily easy) to determine who actually committed an offense, reducing the perceived need to punish families or communities collectively. At the same time, expanding commerce and more diverse populations required legal systems that were universalist in nature, and treated strangers as individuals under uniform rules rather than as second class citizens, gradually making individualized justice and procedural safeguards the foundation of modern law.
From a class and economic perspective, the shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual responsibility can be understood as a consequence of the rise of market economies and capitalist social relations. Collective liability was well suited to feudal and kin-based societies, where obligations were shared by households, villages, and estates, but it impeded commerce by making contracts and property rights unpredictable. As merchants, urban aristocracy, and later industrial capitalists gained influence, they demanded legal systems that treated people as autonomous individuals capable of owning property, entering contracts, and being held liable only for their own actions. The resulting legal order replaced inherited collective responsibility with individualized rights and duties, not simply out of humanitarian concern, but because wage labor, private property, investment, and impersonal markets functioned more efficiently when legal responsibility was attached to discrete individuals rather than families, classes, or communities.
However, there is a problem which persists. Engels' concept of "social murder" refers to the idea that when a social and economic system predictably produces premature death through poverty, unsafe working conditions, malnutrition, or inadequate housing, those deaths are not mere accidents but the foreseeable consequences of institutional arrangements. Under this interpretation, responsibility is diffuse rather than individualized: no single capitalist or official commits murder in the ordinary legal sense, but the ruling class collectively maintains a system whose predictable effects include preventable deaths. Should the ruling class be collectively punished for this crime, potentially undermining or reversing the the historical changes described above? Furthermore, are not the proletariat themselves being collectively punished by the bourgeoisie for the crime of being poor?
One could argue that this represents a functional return of collective punishment, despite the formal triumph of individualized criminal law. Modern legal systems generally reject punishing innocent individuals for another person's crimes, yet they often tolerate economic institutions that systematically expose entire classes to greater risks of illness, violence, and early death based on their socioeconomic position. In that sense, the poor may experience harms not because of anything they individually did, but because they belong to a structurally disadvantaged class. The "punishment" is not imposed by a judge but by social and economic arrangements.
Bourgeois apologists argue that collective punishment involves intentionally imposing penalties on innocent people for the actions of others, whereas poverty-related harms arise from impersonal market processes, policy tradeoffs, historical contingencies, or individual choices rather than a deliberate punitive intent. From this perspective, calling these outcomes "collective punishment" obscures important distinctions between legal sanctions and structural inequality.
Collective Punishment Versus Individual Responsibility
Today most legal systems nominally reject collective punishment, emphasizing individual responsibility. It is also prohibited in armed conflict under international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. This was not always the case. The Athenian Draco is remembered for harsh laws, from which we get the word "Draconian" but one of his major reforms was to replace private blood feuds with state-administered justice. Before his code, killings were often avenged by the victim's family, leading to cycles of retaliation.The shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt toward individual responsibility and the presumption of innocence was gradual rather than revolutionary. In many ancient and medieval societies, families, clans, villages, or entire communities could be held liable for the actions of one member, and accused individuals often had to prove their innocence through oaths, ordeals, or social standing. These proofs were often ritual in nature and lacked scientific rigor. Over centuries, especially under the influence of Roman legal principles, canon law, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and liberal constitutionalism, legal systems increasingly emphasized that guilt should be based on evidence against a specific individual rather than group affiliation. Thinkers such as Beccaria and Blackstone argued that protecting the innocent from wrongful punishment was more important than maximizing convictions, leading to higher standards of proof, formal rules of evidence, due process, and the modern principle that the prosecution bears the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Despite these legal prohibitions, governments and armed groups have at times been accused of imposing measures that amount to collective punishment, especially during wars, occupations, and counterinsurgency campaigns. Whether a specific case qualifies is often legally and politically disputed.
The transformation from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual liability and the presumption of innocence was driven largely by changes in state capacity and legal administration. As governments became stronger, more centralized, and more bureaucratic, they relied less on kinship groups to police their own members and more on professional courts, investigators, and judges. Improved record-keeping, forensic methods, written legal codes, and standardized procedures made it increasingly feasible (but not necessarily easy) to determine who actually committed an offense, reducing the perceived need to punish families or communities collectively. At the same time, expanding commerce and more diverse populations required legal systems that were universalist in nature, and treated strangers as individuals under uniform rules rather than as second class citizens, gradually making individualized justice and procedural safeguards the foundation of modern law.
From a class and economic perspective, the shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual responsibility can be understood as a consequence of the rise of market economies and capitalist social relations. Collective liability was well suited to feudal and kin-based societies, where obligations were shared by households, villages, and estates, but it impeded commerce by making contracts and property rights unpredictable. As merchants, urban aristocracy, and later industrial capitalists gained influence, they demanded legal systems that treated people as autonomous individuals capable of owning property, entering contracts, and being held liable only for their own actions. The resulting legal order replaced inherited collective responsibility with individualized rights and duties, not simply out of humanitarian concern, but because wage labor, private property, investment, and impersonal markets functioned more efficiently when legal responsibility was attached to discrete individuals rather than families, classes, or communities.
However, there is a problem which persists. Engels' concept of "social murder" refers to the idea that when a social and economic system predictably produces premature death through poverty, unsafe working conditions, malnutrition, or inadequate housing, those deaths are not mere accidents but the foreseeable consequences of institutional arrangements. Under this interpretation, responsibility is diffuse rather than individualized: no single capitalist or official commits murder in the ordinary legal sense, but the ruling class collectively maintains a system whose predictable effects include preventable deaths. Should the ruling class be collectively punished for this crime, potentially undermining or reversing the the historical changes described above? Furthermore, are not the proletariat themselves being collectively punished by the bourgeoisie for the crime of being poor?
One could argue that this represents a functional return of collective punishment, despite the formal triumph of individualized criminal law. Modern legal systems generally reject punishing innocent individuals for another person's crimes, yet they often tolerate economic institutions that systematically expose entire classes to greater risks of illness, violence, and early death based on their socioeconomic position. In that sense, the poor may experience harms not because of anything they individually did, but because they belong to a structurally disadvantaged class. The "punishment" is not imposed by a judge but by social and economic arrangements.
Bourgeois apologists argue that collective punishment involves intentionally imposing penalties on innocent people for the actions of others, whereas poverty-related harms arise from impersonal market processes, policy tradeoffs, historical contingencies, or individual choices rather than a deliberate punitive intent. From this perspective, calling these outcomes "collective punishment" obscures important distinctions between legal sanctions and structural inequality.

Why don't you vote third party, leftists? And no not DSA. Something else. Besides I'm afraid it might be controlled opposition anyway just like Drumpf was. We could possibly outnumber the babyboomers as well if we both voted in a legitimate third party candidate.
First on the agenda is getting away from the Middle East, and removing foreign influence from Congress. If you can do me this favor we'll chat about other things upon a compromise.

You peasants just don't get it.
it's clearly the consumer that's the problem. The management are aghast at how the public treats their workers. How could you expect somebody to work for free? Servers need tips to survive, not tipping them at least 100% is the financial equivalent of murder. It should come with jail time, because at least with real murder the victim doesn't suffer for a long time. Anybody tipping less than 120% is a monster.

After a measurement is made, the system has a definite value for the measured property. This requires a sudden change in the wave function: before measurement, it describes many possible outcomes, but after measurement, only one outcome remains with a 100% probability while all others become 0%.
If these other possibilities are not removed from the wave function, the predictions for future measurements of the same system would be incorrect. This transition from many possible outcomes to one actual outcome is called wave-function collapse.
The problem is that collapse is not described by the Schrรถdinger equation, which describes how quantum systems evolve over time. The Schrรถdinger equation only describes the continuous evolution of the wave function; it does not explain when or why collapse happens.
Because collapse is not produced by the Schrรถdinger equation, its cause cannot be found within the physical processes described by that equation. The main problem in quantum physics is explaining how a system goes from an undefined state containing multiple possibilities to a state with one definite outcome. Since all known physical interactions are already described by quantum mechanics, the cause of collapse cannot simply be another physical interaction within the same framework.
After a century of debate, collapse remains one of the central problems of quantum mechanics. On one hand, collapse seems to contradict the Schrรถdinger equation. On the other hand, it seems necessary because without collapse there would be no single physical event. The wave function contains possibilities, but an actual event requires one possibility to become real while the others are eliminated.
Quantum mechanics therefore challenges the idea that reality exists as a continuous physical world with definite properties at every moment. Instead, it describes reality as a series of events where definite properties appear only when they are measured. Before collapse, the properties of the system are not determined.
This does not mean that a quantum particle is literally in many places at once. A non-collapsed wave function does not describe one particle existing in multiple locations simultaneously; it describes multiple possible outcomes. If a system has no definite properties, then those properties do not exist in the classical sense.
Photons, electrons, and other quantum particles can therefore be understood as names we give to mathematical descriptions of possible events. Collapse represents the transition from possible outcomes to an actual event.
Quantum mechanics appears incompatible with traditional realism, because realism assumes that physical objects exist continuously and have properties independent of observation. Since collapse cannot be explained by the Schrรถdinger equation, it must involve something outside the equation.
A measuring device cannot fully explain collapse, because the device itself is made of quantum particles and follows quantum laws. Therefore, the collapse cannot simply be caused by another physical interaction already described by quantum mechanics.
The only known phenomenon that cannot be reduced to the Schrรถdinger equation is consciousness. Therefore, actual events may require the involvement of consciousness.
However, this does not mean that a person's mind directly creates reality. The argument is not that human observers magically force particles into existence. Instead, it argues that there is a connection between conscious observation and the appearance of definite events. A correlation does not necessarily mean direct causation.
From this perspective, idealism provides a solution to the measurement problem. Instead of assuming an external physical world independent of the mind, idealism argues that reality exists as experiences within consciousness.
In the Berkeleyan view, the universe exists as ideas in the mind of God. God directly sustains and creates the experiences we perceive. The universe is not a physical object existing independently from minds, but a consistent order of experiences created by God.
Under this interpretation, wave-function collapse is not a physical process that needs a mechanism. It is simply the mathematical description of how possible experiences become actual experiences.
This view is similar to the philosophy of George Berkeley, where God is not only the Creator but also the continual Sustainer of reality.
Idealism argues that it is unnecessary to assume a hidden physical reality existing independently of the mind. What we directly know are our experiences, and mathematics describes the patterns within those experiences. The laws of physics are therefore understood as the rational structure God uses to produce an ordered universe.
This explains both why conscious experience exists, and why mathematics is so effective at predicting nature.
The brain and mental experiences are correlated, but the brain does not necessarily create consciousness; instead, physical processes may represent mental processes.
The claim that decoherence solves the collapse problem is disputed. Decoherence explains why quantum systems appear classical when they interact with their environment, but it does not explain why only one possible outcome becomes actual.
Even after decoherence, the wave function still contains multiple possible outcomes. If one outcome is not selected and the others are not removed, then the predictions for later measurements remain problematic.
The laws of classical physics can be derived from quantum mechanics, but this does not solve the measurement problem. The same wave function can still correspond to many possible classical outcomes. Collapse is still required to explain why one possibility becomes a real event.
The many-worlds interpretation does not solve this problem because it simply denies that collapse happens. It keeps the Schrรถdinger equation as the fundamental law, but then must explain why observers experience only one outcome.
If two measurements are performed on the same system, standard quantum mechanics requires updating the wave function after the first measurement. Without this update, the predictions for the second measurement would be incorrect.
Many-worlds avoids collapse by claiming that all possible outcomes continue to exist in different branches of reality. However, critics argue that this introduces an unnecessary and untestable idea of countless universes without actually explaining why we experience one outcome.
The concept of "branching" remains controversial because it is difficult to explain exactly when and how these branches form.
Furthermore, many-worlds assumes that consciousness arises from physical processes described by quantum mechanics. Critics argue that consciousness cannot be explained by the Schrรถdinger equation alone.
Finally, the wave function itself is a mathematical concept, not a physical object. Since many-worlds treats the wave function as describing many physical universes, critics argue that it relies on abstract mathematical entities and the minds capable of understanding those abstractions.
God is real, reality is a dream and quantum physics proves it
In quantum mechanics, the state of a physical system is described by a wave function. Before measurement, the system does not have definite values for every measurable property. Instead, the wave function gives probabilities for the different possible outcomes that could be observed.After a measurement is made, the system has a definite value for the measured property. This requires a sudden change in the wave function: before measurement, it describes many possible outcomes, but after measurement, only one outcome remains with a 100% probability while all others become 0%.

you can't criticize software vendors for restricting access to their source code and invoking intellectual property law to sue people who copy it, and then turn around and invent a copyleft license so you can do the exact same thing. you can't copy the source code from unix and emacs and violate their license to write unauthorized clones and then lock those clones behind your own license to stop others from doing whatever they want with "your" code.
words are not things and language is a means, not an end. the significance of a legal document is not in the text itself but in how the text is interpreted and enforced in a court of law. permissive licenses such as the bsd license can effectively be thought of public domain licenses because they contain no enforceable non-trivial restrictions that could conceivably ever warrant an actual court case, but copyleft licenses like the gpl can and have been involved in real courtroom cases and any civil litigation in any courtroom requires a specific plaintiff, and it cannot be "the people" as in a criminal case filed by the state. the plaintiffs in gpl violation cases are typically non-profit organizations like the free software foundation or the software freedom law center who act as legal representatives for one or more of the developers, and which developers get to be constituents and potential beneficiaries in the lawsuit is decided entirely at the discretion of whomever happens to be in the room when the lawsuit is first filed.
to illustrate the real-world ramifications of this, consider the busybox lawsuits filed against various companies by busybox developers erick anderson and rob landley represented by the software freedom law center. the cases were settled for undisclosed sums and these two developers got paid off, but none of the other hundreds of contributors to the busybox project, including the original authors bruce perens and dave cinege, were represented or given a share of the settlement or even contacted by the plaintiffs. so in practice, enforcement of the gpl does not really represent the open source community and all the contributors to a particular project, it only represents the tiny fraction of contributors who have enough extra time and money on their hands to pursue litigation and are under no compunction to share the rewards with anyone else.
thus, the whole idea of the gpl is just one big contradiction, it is a way for certain privileged people to appoint themselves as representatives of a supposedly democratic community project with or without the consent or even the knowledge of the other contributors and invoke their names and their work to extract financial restitution for themselves. this is not democracy, this is not the commons; this is just private ownership. and there's no way to correct for this, it is the result of a fundamental category error, trying to govern a public resource using a legal system that is only designed to govern private property. you can't have your cake and eat it too, either you release something to the public and accept that the world will do whatever it pleases with it, or you treat it as private property. intellectual property is either legitimate or it isn't, there is no coherent middle position.
the gpl is dumb
there are two positions one can take on the issue of intellectual property, either you believe in it or you don't. either information is a material resource that can be governed and owned, or information is an immaterial resource that cannot be governed nor owned.you can't criticize software vendors for restricting access to their source code and invoking intellectual property law to sue people who copy it, and then turn around and invent a copyleft license so you can do the exact same thing. you can't copy the source code from unix and emacs and violate their license to write unauthorized clones and then lock those clones behind your own license to stop others from doing whatever they want with "your" code.

THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM
This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), ๐ค? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalinโs โMarxism and the National Questionโ https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Leninโs โThe Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determinationโ https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Balochistan, East Turkestan/Uyghuristan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, and many others as shown in the Map of all the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I posted. Obviously, this Global USSR will have a Socialist Mode of Production (Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) and Dictatorship of the Proletariat (One-Party Marxist-Leninist-Maoist State). This Centrally Planned Socialist Economy is characterized by State ownership of all companies, a State Planning Agency, the outlawing of Stock Exchanges, and a massive Social Safety Net consisting of Free Housing, Free Healthcare, Free Education, a Job Guarantee, and a Universal Basic Income, along with a long-term effort to Automate the entire Economy (hence the need for Universal Basic Income) on the Shining Path to Communism, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
The first great Superstructural transformation brought by the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution was the final destruction of that great โOpiate of the Massesโ that had been used by all the ruling Classes of every previous Mode of Production to neuter the oppressed Classes, Religion. This was done by sending the International Red Guards to bulldoze/burn down all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas worldwide and arrest all Priests/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis and force them to March through the streets wearing Dunce Caps on their way to the re-education camps where they were re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (This also happened to all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists as well), โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
Another key aspect of this Superstructural transformation was seen in the dramatic transformation of Urban planning that was carried out by the Global USSR. This process was made easier by the aftermath of World War III (especially the Nuclear Exchange) and the subsequent World Maoist PPW that left most cities as smoldering ruins and thus in desperate need of rebuilding. The new โPeopleโs citiesโ were built to be as efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-density as possible, with the entire population living in high-density Concrete Commie Bloc Apartment buildings, and all Suburban McMansions/โSingle-Family Homesโ bull-dozed and left to be reclaimed by nature (most had already been destroyed anyway). At the center of every major city is a single massive Skyscraper that contains all the administrative agencies of the various SSRs/ASSRs, including the local CPSU headquarters. Additionally, these cities have been designed to be as walkable as possible (this, combined with the Worldwide ban of all GMOs, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Preservatives, excessive Sodium, and Trans Fats, ended the Global Obesity epidemic that was already reduced significantly by the decades of Conventional and Nuclear Warfare), with all Automobile ownership outlawed, and most transportation carried out by Mass Rail Transit (ie. Subways, Streetcars, Bullet trains, etc.) powered by Electricity from exclusively renewable sources (ie. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, Geothermal, etc.), thus ending Global Warming (The Global Nuclear War already helped this, by thinning the World population and reducing temperatures with the mild fallout). All Rural populations employed in agriculture live in Collective Farms until this sector can be completely Automated and they can be moved to the Cities, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
Finally, the Superstructural changes that resulted from the necessary Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution included dramatic changes in the nature of Sexuality, Gender Roles, and Personal Expression. In order to flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, all Women are forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses and Makeup were banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing were banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. Interestingly, their has been a noticeable decline in Transgenders in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes are still Free and Legal to anyone who wants one. The nature of Sexuality has changed dramatically with the elimination of the Reactionary emphasis on Reproduction, considering that that are now Artificial wombs, in order to finally free women from the oppressive nature of child birth. Homosexuality is obviously completely Legal and totally accepted, with the caveat that the institution of Marriage (both Homosexual and Heterosexual) has been completely phased out as a relic of Reactionary culture in favor of much looser sexual relationships among consenting adults. Finally, all Drugs have been legalized for recreational purposes, in order to simultaneously end the discriminatory and classist nature of the Global War on Drugs waged by the Old Reactionary Bourgeois order, and unleash the creativity of the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World as they travel on the Shining Path to Communism, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM
This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), ๐ค? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!
First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalinโs โMarxism and the National Questionโ https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Leninโs โThe Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determinationโ https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Kurdistan, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan, Arabistan (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab majority regions of West Asia and North Africa), Balochistan, East Turkestan/Uyghuristan, Tibet, Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Manipur, West Papua, Aboriginal Australia, Hawaii, and many others as shown in the Map of all the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I posted. Obviously, this Global USSR will have a Socialist Mode of Production (Centrally Planned Socialist Economy) and Dictatorship of the Proletariat (One-Party Marxist-Leninist-Maoist State). This Centrally Planned Socialist Economy is characterized by State ownership of all companies, a State Planning Agency, the outlawing of Stock Exchanges, and a massive Social Safety Net consisting of Free Housing, Free Healthcare, Free Education, a Job Guarantee, and a Universal Basic Income, along with a long-term effort to Automate the entire Economy (hence the need for Universal Basic Income) on the Shining Path to Communism, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ!

Milei signs decree allowing Argentina to bar or expel foreigners over 'hate speech'
The government did not specify particular incidents in the decree, but the references appear to relate to an alleged wave of anti-Argentina abuse that intensified during the recent FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, particularly on social media. Congress must approve the validity of the measure, which remains in force while the legislative process is under way, though experts warned it could open the door to arbitrary enforcement.

According to the campaign, the organizers claim responsibility for previous acts of vandalism targeting replicas of the Statue of Liberty associated with the Brazilian retail chain Havan. They also discuss their political ideology, their participation in international anti-imperialist networks, and their long-term vision for a broader movement in Latin America.
The campaign has generated attention because of both its political message and the controversial nature of the actions it describes. Supporters may view it as an example of radical anti-imperialist activism, while critics argue that the tactics it endorses involve criminal conduct and are incompatible with democratic political engagement.
Readers interested in political movements, direct action, and contemporary debates about anti-imperialism may find the campaign noteworthy as an example of current radical political organizing, regardless of whether they agree with its goals or methods.

They also discuss their political ideology, their participation in international anti-imperialist networks, and their long-term vision for a broader movement in Latin America.
The campaign has generated attention because of both its political message and the controversial nature of the actions it describes. Supporters may view it as an example of radical anti-imperialist activism, while critics argue that the tactics it endorses involve criminal conduct and are incompatible with democratic political engagement.
Readers interested in political movements, direct action, and contemporary debates about anti-imperialism may find the campaign noteworthy as an example of current radical political organizing, regardless of whether they agree with its goals or methods.

1. Ownership is a Survival Bottleneck
<The capitalist does not participate in value creation merely through ownership; they control a physical bottleneck. They gatekeep the tools, infrastructure, and resources required to produce a livelihood. Because the owning class has historically enclosed the means of production as private property, the worker cannot survive independently. They are physically forced to approach the capitalist to secure the means of their own survival.
2. The Contract is Structural Extortion
<Because the worker's alternative to employment is homelessness and starvation (structural coercion), the negotiation is absolutely asymmetrical. The capitalist dictates the terms: "I will allow you access to my tools to earn your survival, but only if you surrender a significant portion of the value you generate to me." The worker must comply. This is not a voluntary transaction; it is extortion backed by biological necessity.
3. Surplus is a "Survival Tax
<Regardless of how prices are set on the market, the mathematical difference between the revenue the worker's output generates and the wage they receive is siphoned by the owner. This surplus is not a legitimate reward for "time preference" or "risk," as mainstream economics insists. It is a survival tax, a toll the worker pays for the right to remain alive. The capitalist can collect this tax exclusively because state violence (police and property laws) protects their monopoly over the means of production.
Materialist Conclusion
<Surplus extraction is a pure metric of power. It calculates exactly how much material wealth the owning class can squeeze from the producing class using the structural threat of starvation, stopping just short of triggering mass death or armed revolt. This extraction mechanism operates flawlessly regardless of whether economic value is measured objectively or subjectively.
LTV is a Unnecessary part of Marxist Theory
The following analysis of structural coercion and surplus extraction holds entirely true even if the classical Labor Theory of Value (LTV) is mathematically false. Whether the ultimate price of a commodity is determined by socially necessary labor time or subjective marginal utility, the physical reality of the power dynamic remains unchanged. Surplus extraction is a function of material leverage, not the metaphysical origin of economic value.1. Ownership is a Survival Bottleneck

Normies look at the actually existing Left, what it claims for itself and what it claims to be wanting to do, the immense difficulty of it, and they laugh and they do not want to touch it, with their lack of time, money and energy, *and they are not wrong to do so*. It isn't (all) 'muh false consciousness'.
You cannot be seen as just a performatively radical subculture which despises, in practice, most normal people. You cannot fear populist politics because gasp you may have to rub shoulders with people with some dodgy and confused politics. That is the name of the game.
This is why griftoids like ACP get some of the credibility they do because at least they are willing to say the emperor has no clothes and not to just hate normal people.
This sentiment really is the dominant attitude of so much of the Left and it fizzes off so many of us all the time. And I hate it.
Just a vent. Needed to be said.
Serve the people
Despite some of the inherited Leftist rhetoric, a lot of modern Leftoids and especially American ones, jfc, just come across as hating and despising most ordinary people. If you think they are irredeemably racist and sexist, patriarchal, white supremacist, contaminated with so many 'bad ideas' and the 'muck of ages' that they need to be 'deprogrammed' before they can begin to be part of your oh so effective attractive politics (lol), any notion that the Left is interested in, let alone capable of, helping to produce a mass workers' movement will just not be credible. If your party is full of people who are agoraphobic shut-ins who won't be told that if they want to be ultra radical activist whatevers then they need to speak to normal people and be marginally normal, then you'll be laughed at, and with good reason.Normies look at the actually existing Left, what it claims for itself and what it claims to be wanting to do, the immense difficulty of it, and they laugh and they do not want to touch it, with their lack of time, money and energy, *and they are not wrong to do so*.

Whatโs the point of knowing leftist theory or political philosophy when we can simply base our politics on the notion of radical empathy?
Theory and philosophy are worthless and meaningless but empathy is something anyone can understand. Itโs elitist as fuck to base your political aspirations on some grand abstract ideals since this ultimately creates hierarchies of intelligence because not everyone can grasp it. Yet empathy is a universal concept. Every political goal we seek has no reason to be done in the name of โMarxismโ or โanarchismโ but simply out of empathy, collective care for the weakest and most vulnerable of our world. It is only a politics of vulnerability that can ever be truly inclusive.
Instead of looking to establish some grand utopia, our politics need to be based on being trauma-informed. Trump, Epstein, covid and Palestine all gave us collective CPTSD. Radical leftist politics should be primarily concerned with HEALING. Likewise, we have now become aware of the purely eugenicist nature of capitalism. The only way to stop and prevent eugenics is through empathy, not through some grand theory like Marxism.
Literally everyone is complaining about the lack of empathy and support in the world today. It should be our primary job to bring empathy back so that the most vulnerable and marginalized identities are allowed full human dignity and the right to be their authentic selves without fear of eradication. Your bullshit Marxist philosophy canโt accomplish that.

ah the wonders of secularist capitalistic hell-holes.
Is this the final solution?
I'm not opposed to this if they're not killing them in mass or mistreating them. Although when you fall to this point their may be very little to bring you back. Maybe the Chinese could be better at this although this video is propaganda and who knows how bad it is in these places. I could see America doing this and it just resulting in another holocaust with a whole bunch of rape thrown in.
