  • News about news: Breakthrough News and People's Dispatch have merged! It looks like all of the stories from peoplesdispatch.org can now be found on breakthroughnews.org and the editorial teams have merged. This is pretty cool imo. BT News has a lot of connections with

    and PD has on-the-ground journalists on every continent covering people's struggles and anti-imperialism all over the world. BT's traditionally been more US focused while PD was international, although there was always plenty of overlap.

    It's monopoliztion of the media, but for anti-imperialist proles.

  • Their guiding ideology is going to be Socialism of the 21st Century, which positions itself as a critical successor to 20th century MLism adapted to the context of Latin America. It allows both revolutionary and electoral paths to power and blurs the lines between those two approaches. It could really go either way. The biggest threat at the moment is the movement not coalescing around sufficiently radical demands, so hopefully S21C (is there a good abbreviation?) can be adaptable enough to seize power more aggressively.

  • yup, that's why everything the military does right now is so popular, too!

    have you spoken to a person recently?

  • Scabs have a union?

  • the problem is general person will trust it for some reason

    yeah, AI shit is soooo popular with the general public right now

  • These costs are far less obfuscating. AI companies have been trying to hard to hide the true costs of computation for a long time, but the need to pay for what they're doing is catching up to them. They have been massively subsidizing all of their users by charging a flat fee and not making them pay for the actual computation costs.

    Here's a great article about what's going on: https://www.wheresyoured.at/ais-economics-dont-make-sense/

  • learning lessons? that's woke, buddy

    truly they are anti-Marxist at the center of their beings

  • Could've done a few more drafts on this one

  • Why settle?

  • $170-200/bbl range

    I would not trust a BBL at that price

  • Thanks!

  • Solidarity from Mexico and Uruguay Spreads Across Cuba

    Uruguay gets little discussion here, but they too have been providing aid to Cuba. Does anyone have good thoughts on Uruguay? Is there a good left movement on the ground? How's Orsi? He seems like a pretty typical pink tider in both good and bad ways. Broad Front was good under Mujica, right? They're the biggest party in the country right now by a lot.

  • lolol just imagining this guy angrily waving his lease at the mutant bear who has occupied his hole in the ground

  • China realizing that they are going to have to actively get involved and throw their economic weight around

    me waitin on xi

  • do the Israelis even have any cards to play other than "genocidal bombing of city" anymore?

    it's the only card they've had since the first time they bombed beirut almost fifty years ago (and before that it was just genocide without so many bombs)

  • historically when we run out of bread, that's a sign of long-term social stability and systematic continuity

  • :xi-wolverine-in-bed-touching-frame-of-mao:

  • While everything you say is accurate, since this bill has 0% odds of getting passed, it's purpose is propagandizing the concept of nationalizing the largest and most untouchable companies, so Bernie actually gets +1 for this.
