  • I can see Streeting rolling over if the press play this story too much, which would mean saying good bye to price controls on medicines.

  • Yeah we just arrest pensioners and charge them with up to 14 years in prison for holding up cardboard signs!

    Oh and we deep throatedly support a genocidal state, murdering civilians by the 100,000s, but yeah sure China is the real repressive state.

  • A very enjoyable read, thanks.

  • Zionist Jews get to steal housing and have easy work and access to nice beaches etc. As settlers. The bargain that they have accepted is that they may have to join in on settler terror, and that sometimes there may be backlash if they don't sufficiently crush their enemy. It's not brainwashing. Israeli propaganda is meant to help massage their pathetic egos and give them justifications for being scum, not to brainwash them into being scum.

  • The weapon of criticism cannot, of course, replace criticism by weapons, material force must be overthrown by material force; but theory also becomes a material force as soon as it has gripped the masses. Theory is capable of gripping the masses as soon as it demonstrates ad hominem, and it demonstrates ad hominem as soon as it becomes radical.

    To get a better understanding of dialectics and dialectical materialism you can read the CPV's curriculum of the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism:

  • The culture war is a front of class war.

  • You need to learn more about dialectics and the way that humans create new material conditions out of the creative application of our knowledge and thoughts (the dialectic of theory and practice, the self-actualisation of humanity). Learning political theory and teaching it to other people demonstrably changes the material conditions we live in. If you don't think that is the case, you have a very flimsy understanding of the material.

  • The forward thinking nature of being able to crush any dissenters is a baked in part of class struggle. The State and the bosses are twinned at the hip and ensure that workers will be punished severely for getting above their station.

    Criminal punishment is overwhelmingly used to selectively punish poorer people and political enemies, ignoring the general criminality of the ruling class.

  • Sure seems like the bosses and the state are in cahoots to make sure ANY criminality (regardless of it's dubious class nature) is punishable by destitution. We should really work on trying to fix that.

  • I think he helped give a lot of solid ideas that the system itself could be reformed and reforged

    Bro didn't read the book

  • You need a 100% inheritance tax to maintain this though, because otherwise the kids begin to accrue capital in the form of their parents' house on their death.

  • This Labour government is almost ideologically identical to the Tory gov. They have imbibed neoliberal norms and we all have to pretend like it's a perfectly sane way to run the state.

  • Sounds like national chauvinism, the idea that Americans need more luxury goods than everyone else, and that there's no way no how you'd ever lower your already completely "fair" level of consumption.

  • You use more electricity streaming an episode of a HD netflix show than generating like 100 text prompts. Image generation is also way less costly than streaming.

    The only really costly thing with LLMs is the training stage.

  • You reading theory and telling it to other people is changing material conditions. That's dialectics baby.

  • Get them in the stocks to be pelted by tomatoes by the community

  • Losurdo's book on Stalin talks about the near universal use of concentration camps by allies and axis imperial powers before, during and after ww2.

  • Von der Leyen is a hitlerite and the fact she was any near that position should be evidence enough that the EU is an absolute mess.
