I asked this before. Allowing retards to use the reading thread to """debate""" using their faggy-ass sub-literate """libertarian""" cliches was a weird decision, and apparently purely a consequence of us just being very chill.

>protest against your work
<burns down a fucking warehouse
you fucking retard, you dont understand anything about labor
the workers movement has the most potential to grow during times of prosperity because the increased demand for labor results in the workers possessing more bargaining power
a random freak that burns down a warehouse that employs workers is literally doing the opposite of that you dipshit, hes putting more workers onto the labour market, how the fuck do you think that will ever lead to higher wages
how are you supposed to seize the means of production by destroying it, you fucking tard
i hate you fake leftists so fucking much you guys are the most anti socialist motherfuckers around

>>495507
If you're anti-woke but not left-wing it's not that surprising honestly, no matter how moderate you are. I like his videos but I don't expect him to say anything smart when it comes to irl politics. But watching someone like Vaush who has a complete opposite problem is genuinely painful.

Just watch Ben Burgis, bruh.

>>495545
Neither the workers nor the left is organizing in any real capacity (yet?), so the only thing you can do is anarchist shit like burning down a warehouse, shooting up your school and transitioning.

Think about it, those are the only things under your control, there's literally nothing else you can do other than go to work, scroll your phone and go to bed.

>>495545
This isn't right, but there is something to be said about destroying capital.
By destroying capital you actually strengthen capitalism by raising the rate of profit. This is why Marx called for seizing the means of production, not destroying it.
While burning down warehouses grabs headlines and makes Redditors soy face, these people would have probably helped more by attempting to organize a union.

>>495767
it doesn't have to be this way
if it isn't currently possible, then create the conditions of possibility
people are simply more free than they'd like to admit
the real reason why stuff like this happens is because it *feels good* not because there's no better option

>Are you hanging around tumblr 24/7 or what?
No. I just never understood that position ever since it became widespread online and in corporate advertizing.

Proofs?

Being fat seems like a uniquely American problem (and I'm including Mexico and Canada into this). My guess is everything is the car industry made everyone so reliant on cars that people have to commit to exercising instead of it happening naturally during your commute, the food industry industry either has deals with the chemical/petrochemical industry to put random shit in their food, or this is straight up cheaper than actually growing ingredients. And finally the pharmaceutical industry has an interest in deregulating everything and making people unhealthy so they can profit too. Did I miss anything?

I'm convinced the other leftypol is run by DNC shills, am I schizo?

>>495744
I'm convinced it's run by feds.

>>495747
there is one namefag there that openly calls for collaborating with the genocidal zionist uniparty constantly and he never gets banned, criticisms of this position from the left get banned and the entire thing gets framed as he is the reasonable one and not a full blown reactionary
the site is also super hardcore on not talking about israel in ways that are unacceptable to the american liberal establishment
this is why I think its either run by straigh up DNC shills or people too dumb to realize they are policing the left in ways that accomodate to that, feds might be too far but who knows maybe you are right

>>495749
>the site is also super hardcore on not talking about israel in ways that are unacceptable to the american liberal establishment
I've noticed this. Actually, I noticed it in an extremely glowy thread where the entire premise was "resistance is futile," pretending like "israel" functions totally independently of zionist U.S. and EU backers, and a conspicuous swarming tactic meant to make these things look like a general consensus (wrt "resistance is futile," this is an extremely well-known psyop tactic).
Oh, also their news anon posts article from Iran International. :)

So this has to be some kind of sabotage right?

I wonder if this is related:

>11th scientist death emerges in string of missing, dead officials with access to US secrets

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/11th-scientist-death-emerges-string-missing-dead-officials-access-us-secrets

>>495757
It looks like it, yes.
And the nuclear scientist disappearances have been weird - remember how the guy who allegedly killed that one MIT scientist randomly shows up dead in a garage or storage space shortly thereafter? And the camera footage somehow didn't get him except outside of the building?

It's anyone's guess what's going on here. Some point to Mossad or possible CIA ops, and it could also be some kind of tit-for-tat retaliation for the Mossad & U.S.'s constant murder of Iranian scientists, although I haven't seen evidence so far that Iran operates in that way.

>>495757
This is further back, but "holy shit"ed at the subject matter:
https://x.com/ProudSocialist/status/2045317011316654107
This is Amy Eskridge.

She is one of the 11 scientists who has died/disappeared recently that’s linked to high government research and secrets.

Amy researched anti-gravity and in this clip reveals anti-gravity was already discovered 4 times, but each time the government suppressed it. She then reveals she was close to discovering it, but was threatened that she would be killed if she published it.

She was found dead shortly after this 2022 interview. It was ruled a “suicide” but no investigation details were made public and British intelligence officer Franc Milburn testified before Congress in 2023 that her death was not a suicide. She also said this a few months before her death: “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not.”

What is going on? Is our own government murdering scientists whose research and discoveries (i.e. free energy) threaten the profits of corporations and billionaires?

"The Hunt For Zero Point" type shit.

>>495759
Look, researchers being killed is super weird but let's not be retarded here.

That video clip never explicitly mentions anti-gravity.

Btw people have been researching how gravity works for a while now, there is no theoretical model for anti-gravity, even a theoretical partical that might be responsible for gravity, the graviton, isn't possible to detect with our current understanding of physics, and supposedly would take a detector the size of jupiter to detect one per year, if it's even possible.

My argument is just that at this point theoretical physics accounts for everything that happens except for the most extreme conditions, so I don't expect someone to have tinkered with something on their own and discovered anti-gravity. There would be a theoretical basis for this first. And if there was a theoretical discovery it would be published or leak and there would be a lot of noise about this in the science community.

And I never want to hear retards rambling about "free energy" that's just a nonsense buzzword to get clicks from uneducated burgers.

Marandi - Leave UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait immediately. Iran will retaliate, destroying everything. These regimes are guilty partners in the genocidal Epstein Coalition and won't be forgiven. The rising temperatures in the Persian Gulf will soon make them uninhabitable.

Milei is privatising the water (the first image just says "resources" but that is one concrete example I am aware of) of Argentina for example, I think he will leave some part for Argentinian companies but he has already sold them to Israeli/American companies, and he also doing this with electricity etc…
The second image is about lowering taxes for rural landowners vetoing the increment of pensions.
This doesn't appear on the images but I think he is also making a program funded publicly for Israeli to go to settle on Argentina (launched at the same time he destroys the welfare)

Quote at the bottom:
"Argentinians should get used to the scarcity culture"

So apparently the chainsaw guy that just crashed the Argentinian economy and chained it to a massive foreign bailout loan as well as peddled three different cryptotoken scams in his presidency just got re-elected in a landslide. What the fuck is wrong with Argentina? Are they all retarded?

⚡️Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid:

“International institutions that promote “human rights” slogans, then places the names of some leaders of the Emirate on sanctions lists, do not only harm specific individuals, but the entire Afghan people.

This is a clear injustice that cannot be justified.

We affirm that the policy of sanctions has, from the beginning, proven to be a failure.

We call on these organizations to assume a more balanced and responsible role by facilitating understanding and dialogue, and bringing views between Afghans and the international community closer, instead of becoming a tool for political pressure.”

out of curiosity, why would anyone give out a loan without interest? It's too big a risk and there's no profit
I understand usury is a sin blah blah but realistically why would anyone give a non-usurious loan?

>>495686
Tom Nook from Animal Crossing does it

>>495686
>I understand usury is a sin blah blah but realistically why would anyone give a non-usurious loan?
Is this a serious question?
People loan eachother stuff without demanding interest all the time. You do it because someone asks for help and will pay you back in full. Socially, there are very obvious reasons to lend even without interest. Reducing or eliminating interest has also been a long-time goal of socialist and anarchist loan systems, it's not just a religious thing.

Where religion is concerned, though, there are several countries where it's illegal on religious grounds, including Iran.

⚡️ Afghan media:

More than 12 billion Afghanis have been distributed to orphans, widows, and people with disabilities.

The Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan announced that over the past year, 12.6 billion Afghanis were distributed to 650,000 orphans, widows, and disabled individuals.

Mufti Faisal, the ministry’s spokesperson, said the assistance was provided monthly through the banking system.

He added that in the past year, in coordination with institutions and charitable foundations, food and non-food aid worth $9.791 million was also distributed to families in need.

Sorry for not replying to you in a timely manner.

>What are your recommended essential books on Chinese statecraft, warcraft, and spycraft?
For the official governance methods in China, you can choose to read "Xi Jinping Talks about Governance", which has an official English translation.As for the warcraft and spycraft sections, to my knowledge, there are no official books specifically introducing these topics, as these strategic issues are not so openly discussed in China.However, you may be able to search for websites and magazines aimed at Chinese military enthusiasts, where you may find the answers you are looking for。

>What about the essentials for understanding Chinese culture, philosophy, and psychology?
If you want to have a detailed understanding, then there are plenty of things you need to read.But the simplest way, as the comrade who answered for me said, Mao's books can help you quickly understand all of this.By the way, you can also read some books by Lu Xun, as he is widely recognized as one of the most revolutionary writers of the early 20th century in China.

Yes, young people in China consider some customs from foreign countries as fashionable, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Just like foreigners sometimes celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival, I think it has closed the gap between people in different countries.It's just that the consumerist atmosphere inside makes me feel a bit…nah
Unfortunately, if I understand correctly, you seem to have made some mistakes about the situation of Chinese trade unions. China's suppression of trade unions has not solved the problems of bureaucracy or intermediaries. The government only suppresses workers who organize unofficial trade unions to protect their rights, while government established trade unions do not work for workers' rights at all.And yes, China allows complaints from the public about minority groups because the goverment needs to divert people's attention

Simply put, Mao appeared to be a nationalist because he needed China to serve socialism (Stalin's theory of building socialism in one country).And those who after him, in my opinion, regarded socialism as a tool to serve the Chinese nation.So when some principles of socialism hinder the strength of the Chinese countrPost too long.

>They don't export the revolution, true. Their contribution to socialist projects in other countries is that they continue trading with them, negating weaponized isolationism.
During the Mao era, China provided support to other revolutionary forces in Asia, even aiding Albania in Europe.However, after that, as a price for joining the World Trade Organization, China officially gave up exporting revolution and only did business with countries around the world.

>It's lower stage socialism. They have social wins like dramatic poverty reduction, really good public infrastructure, really steep rise in wages/living standards and expanding public services. They're genuinely striving towards 'real' socialism at a snails pace.
In the eyes of the left-wing in China, just like Brezhnev's "developed socialism", the primary stage is completely a deceitful lie

Thank you for your reply on my behalf. It was very accurate.

This actually doesn't seem like a good idea. Relieving yourself is distracting and probably not an activity you should engage in while driving. Vehicles are dangerous enough already.
