Anyone with a good write up of what is going on in Bolivia?

Great post! This is why I love this site.

How do you think this would change the world and america itself, compared to where we are right now? Will America import too much cheap products and further deindustrialize? Will American capitalists seek labor for cheap in the wrecked countries instead of at home? Will the global south be pushed by this maneuver towards some level, however small, of multi-national economic planning, perhaps lead by BRICS in some capacity?

Also, I think the current and possible wars in the future could shift imperialism around in ways we can’t predict without some heavy Marxist insight.

high-energy event

Confirmation that the last Klanmala rallies had nothing to do with this

in a decade

No, that schedule is reserved for cognitive-dissonating that rounding up immigrants into labor camps is a good thing, actually

What even is America’s interest in keeping Cuba starved? Is it afraid of having a communist country that close?

Is this based on some previous experience? My org is growing inside universities and I’d love to read about this and discuss it with everyone

Please keep us updated!

Possibly the greatest emote on this site

Every fucking time

I’m working my ass off these last few days (including right now) and can’t read everytjing, can somebody explain what happened in Lebanon, please?

I think the problem here is defining what communism is supposed to be, or what constitutes these “political structures.”

For Marx the “political structure” stems from the mode of production, what we usually call the base. In a very shortened form, it’s the interacting between productive forces, means of production and the property regime (and all its consequences). As Capital tries to multiply itself, capitalism has shown a development of the complexity and productivity of the means of production, along with requiring workers that are able to deal with this complex production (specifically, this is dealt with by having multiple people act in unity towards a single product), in other words, developing the productive force. As capitalism develops, it accumulates property under a central command while simultaneously making it a collective tool. So, in capitalism’s specific case, we’re dealing with private property that is only used by a capacitated collective.

The developing self-consciousness and organization of this productive collective pressures the regime of private property, which will strike back violently to keep existing, in the specific form of blunting the collective organization at all costs, as well as pushing back against the superstructure reflexions of these changes (i.e. fascism). If the self-conscious productive collective is victorious, it has been through a period where: the means of production have been transformed; the productive forces have been transformed; the property regime has been transformed. Thus, we have a new mode of production, and a new “political structure.”

This is the tendency of capitalism. But notice that this assumes a more or less constant development of technology, for example. What if climate catastrophes hit too hard too fast in the coming years? Parts of civilization could be severed from eachother, and develop in different ways, depending on what exactly gets destroyed. Would an electricity-starved modern nation still develop factories as we know them? Or would property get fragmented again? What knowledge and techniques would be lost or gained? That we can’t predict.

I guess it’s because a polio breakout would spill over into Israel itself and neighbouring countries, putting huge pressure over the genocide

Let’s take a look at a comprehensive list of countries that have used nukes against others:

🇺🇲

Based on this, we conclude that the US is less likely to use nukes against others. I’m very smart

The Zionist of Interest

There was some report a couple of years ago by some subdivision of a government agency about extremist hubs online that included this very site. It was posted here a few times back then, after work I’ll check if I saved it.

Imagine some intern getting stuck with having to parse through pits of trying to figure out what kind of terrorist activity it is encouraging

like ‘a commodity is a use-value’ or ‘a commodity is an exchange-value’

How are those contradictory? Or what other things do they contradict?

@XiJinping@hexbear.net good call

The DPRK almost got a bronze medal in gymnastics just now. Came in 4th place

Most top level federal officials get their info from our news mega, so taking hexbear down is a fundamental part of modern management of international conflicts

I’m working until late night, surely nothing interesting will happen while I’m not checking the thread

Left-wing candidates in all of Latin America have been accused of electoral fraud in the same way for the past what, decade? And people still fucking fall for it. Even fucking Biden got hit with that card. Give me a break, this shit is so obvious.

Is this finally the end point of liberal democracy? Capitalist-owned social media makes it so that a fascist international can promptly turn the tides on any more or less leftist candidate in any country, and claiming fraud is clearly their way forward. How the hell does anyone believe in liberal democracy when social media is a thing?
