  • I appreciate the point but I think this is a bit of an ultraleftist position - the basis of any economy is production. Even if the mine owners are taking the surplus value of labor, hundreds of workers were still making a wage, and spending those wages at local shops, supplied by local light industry. Even if they're just barely scraping by, the wealth created by a single miner sustains an entire community of clerks, porters, drivers, engineers, bureaucrats. The issue today is that the Appalachian economy has no productive base. Capitalists extract the surplus value of labor from every industry.

    The difference between then and today is that artisanal mining is no longer profitable. Like with many industries, automation has reduced the number of jobs provided by mining at the expense of the environment. I'm not a Luddite - automation isn't bad, per se - but it does put Capitalism into an overproduction crisis, and without distributive justice it is now impossible to base an economy on coal extraction in Appalachia.

    I wasn't trying to say that coal mining in West Virginia was some kind of golden age, but what it was was a functional economy.

  • In NEO, I've noticed a lot more coal trailers on the trains locally. I was wondering if it was part of a larger trend.

    The white snow over black coal is beautiful.

    I'm conflicted on the issue. I have family in West Virginia. A reactionary part of my brain thinks that increased reliance on coal is good for me and my family, at least in the short term.

    But those days are gone. Coal doesn't provide jobs anymore. One guy running an excavator is doing the work of 100 artisanal miners 50 yrs ago. It's just funneling money to the guy who owns the excavator, the guy who owns the mine, even the truck drivers are being squeezed so much these days.

    I think there's a lot of people in my region who think "if only they let coal come back, we'd be rich again!". But that's just not in the cards anymore. Automation has come too far. I understand why people think a pivot back to coal is an easy, short-term solution to economic degradation, but it isn't.

    Excuse me for ranting, I'm a lil drunk rn.

  • We had an anti ICE protest today locally and it was like 10 degrees in the middle of the day. And that's warm compared to how it's been. -12, -16, worse with windchill.

  • what do yall think about this? what's clinton's game?

  • This might be a controversial take, but I think this is part of why the "He was an ephebophile not a pedophile" people have at least a little bit of a point.

    While I don't think they're anywhere near as rare as many people think, pedophiles - men who want to fuck 8-y/o's etc. - are going to be in a minority. But men who want to sleep with 17, 16, 15-y/o's? I think if you got them into a consequence-free environment, engaged in a little "locker room talk", about half of men (or more!) would say some very gross things. And being a billionaire or being friends with one is the epitome of a consequence-free environment.

    Today, there's more of a stigma around these things. But I guess I would ask that you try to remember how your dad's friends talked when you were growing up, how tv shows from that time - 80's, 90's, early 2000's - talked about conventionally attractive teenagers.

  • PSL protects it's members through numbers, not anonymity. As a PSL member you're expected to be willing to put your name on your politics and be public about party affiliation.

    I believe the disagreement goes all the way back to the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks - the Mensheviks wanted to allow members to the Communist Party to remain anonymous, such as a professor who might lose his position if he "came out" as a Communist. The Bolsheviks said: too bad, we all make sacrifices.

    The PSL only makes two exceptions, as far as I'm aware: immigrants who are at risk of deportation may disguise their identity. And union leadership (and similar positions) are allowed to remain anonymous and this isn't too hard since those sorts of PSL members aren't really doing so much of the day-to-day work of organizing protests and other events.

    I think this is a good system. It filters out people who are likely to get spooked on the job anyways. I think it's a matter of practicality. You have to give your home address to the council to speak at City and County Council meetings. You have to give your home address to run for public office (if you ever run into a petitioner for ballot access, they'll have a paper under the signature sheets that shows the home addresses of the candidates, and the legal names of their electors, and you have a right to see it if you ask). If you're registered to vote (and if you're in PSL, you're going to register to vote, and vote for the Party's candidates), literally anyone can Google your name and find your home address, because those are public records.

  • The Capitalist class is decadent in every country, and corrupt Chinese billionaires, academics and bureaucrats likely are up to similar stuff as Epstein and his friends.

    The difference is that the Chinese government would shoot every last one of them after learning about it, while in America even those with the closest associations - Wexner, Dershowitz, etc. - still run free.

    Our focus should not be on the virtuousness of the Chinese bourgeoisie but the Chinese Communist Party.

  • Are there any Chinese men in the Epstein files? Honestly curious.

    It seems to have been a very international club. Yanks, Brits, Swedes, Russians, Israelis, South Africans. But I haven't heard of a single Chinese person - especially not a patriotic one - involved in the Epstein stuff.
