  • “Even in Russia, they don’t treat children like this”: A family’s nightmare in ICE detention

    Jump

  • I'll be honest this way of thinking I have pointed is relatively new for me - as I am learning more as an ML, or more accurately understanding more clearly from a DM perspective certain leftovers I have assumed as left-liberal aren't necessarily so cut and dry. I wonder if many of the X-industry-complexes have similar aetiolgies; rather than a tiny elite extracting surplus value it is a whole system of bourgoisie + petty-bourgoisie + borugoisie proleteriat that benefit from the exploitation; the content/essence is capitalism but the form might be private or public, state or civil society.

    (Another one is western intelligence services like the CIA - rather than a small groups controlling things from behind the scenes they are instead the vanguards of the masses of bourgoisie society made up of the above three groups).

  • I used to think that for-profit prisons are the problem but looking the industry as a whole it is significantly a state system. I now think the prison industry (state or private) in the West is the outgrowth of having a capitalist "middle class" - for example here it is the average white US American and their co-westerners as a class that has helped with the the formation of the prison indusry as we know it now. It is an extension of the civil society and their lynching of black and native peoples in the formation of the US.

  • I used to consider marxism-leninism as anti-moralism, and anti-purity/anti-dogma but I am not so sure now. Now I wonder if we just have a different set of morals and dogma - a scientific one

  • It's only through ML the contradictions are sublimated ie the solution to privatised control is not to unsocialise the labour but to socialise control of the means of production as an extension of socialised labour... which is why China is winning whereas the best West has to offer to counter what they consider "corporatism" is limitinv - either anti-AI artisanal variety of reaction or "pro-AI" but some version of what Doctorow has to offer as a solution - ie individualised "emancipation" (and I still think your article was a good share)

  • Left-liberal rag.

    Left-liberals have killed more in total than the Nazis have.

    The latter, though brutally evil, create an instability that necessitates non-communists to tail the communists, the only real threat to fascists.

    The liberals, however, help create a type of stability that prolongs mass murders by adequately subsiding the bourgoisie proleteriat with spoils of imperialism and bribing enough comprador groups in the global south, and thereby helps negate the non-communists need for solidarity with the communists (effectively making the non-communists into anti-communists during "peace time").

    The other way liberals kill more than the fascists is that they also responsible for the fascists murder rate too by delaying an earlier end to fascism or revolution in the imperial cores.

    Case in point: "China has done nothing for palestine"

  • Maybe after all this time the artisanal reaction dressed up in anti-corporatism is still going strong.

  • Hitler shot the Strasserites. USAmericans are more right wing than the latter (and one could argue the former too).

    You know what's better than refusing to use a technology because you hate its creators? Seizing that technology and making it your own. Don't like the fact that a convicted monopolist has a death-grip on networking? Steal its protocol, release a free software version of it, and leave it in your dust

    If liberals/anarchists can understand the above then self-claimed MLs should do too.

    3:5 downvote ratio on your post at time of writing, wth; am I missing something here

  • Social media + smaller quote posts and analysis from your substack about something relevant to recent topics; there's no foolproof way not to look like a spammer, so just be honest and accept it and others will accept it too if they feel you genuinely contributing something (admittedly, a big if). We live under capitalism, there is no escaping it without revolution.

    I would write for the purpose of writing but if you want to monetise it to get an income (which may you want to do, it's tough out there) then things may inevitably become a bit complicated/mucky.

    (The acadaemia stuff was also to help hone one's craft, one can easily get the equivalent of an almost degree with self education these days)

  • As Parenti says it's refreshing when they are honest in their evil.

    And there's only one thing these fuckers are actually scared of (hence the ovation): communists, especially the decolonisation and anti-imperialism made possible by them. This speech should be one of the go to signposting against left anti-communists.

    (Excellent comments by the way on "China isn't doing anything" thread)

    1. Substack, Youtube series (and have a backup site for these two due to censorship risks and consider learning and practicing opsec)
    2. If you have time/money formalise into grad / post-grad qualifications (eg history, international relations, political enconomics, hard sciences)
    3. Write books and research papers/theses

    Non-iranians too. Expect to get a (well-deserved) lecture about the first monotheistic religion (from a Zoroastrian perspective)

  • So many words to say dumb. You're an idiot. See, that was easy?

    I don't think you are stupid or brainwashed.

    I just think you are bigoted because you fall along the axis of material conditions that benefit from imperialism which is why no matter how many different ways this is explained you refuse to have the curiosity to understand convincingly another's perspective. You are uneducated but it is the westernism that makes it dangerous.

    Your cognitive dissonance is probably why you are upset and lashing out.

    But like I said it is not set in stone; a lot of us were liberals once.

  • Tammy Gottlieb, a member of the Executive of the World Zionist Organisation...

    This is a good micrcosm of why some marxists want to separate bourgoisie feminism from actual women's liberation; patriarchy is held up by western women and their counterpart liberals elsewhere seeking a bigger piece of the capital pie by crying "lower class men" are oppressing them and pay lip service (if that) for the women of nations and classes they subjugate; TERF island UK being another example.
