US Can Incapacitate European Fighter Jets With "the Push of a Button" — Belgian MEP.

Belgian Member of the European Parliament, Marc Botenga has expressed his deep concern over European economic, political and military subservience to the United States, even as the Trump administration threatens to take Greenland from EU and NATO member, Denmark.

He criticized the response from some European officials to spend more money on American weaponry, stating:

"We know that these F-35 fighter jets are controlled by the US. I'm exaggerating a little bit, but it is enough for the US to just push a button for them not to take off. So we are not going to defend our own country or our own continent against the United States with their own weapons.

Botenga, from the Worker's Party of Belgium, has been a member of the European Parliament since 2019.

I don't know how to think about this.

At one level this means the F35 has a design defect. Because this, lets call it "remote kill switch" probably can be figured out and used by others, not just the US, so the F35 might at some point not work at all. Considering that Iran might have shot down one or several F35 jets, that might happen depending on how intact the wreckage is.

The other level is that yeah it was not very clever to buy this. To be fair sometime weapons systems are bought to be reverse engineered.

Anyway based Botenga for pointing the finger at Fighter DRM

Trump fires commissioner of preeminent nuclear safety institution

Critics warn that the United States may soon be taking on more nuclear safety risks after Donald Trump fired one of five members of an independent commission that monitors the country's nuclear reactors.

In a statement Monday, Christopher Hanson confirmed that Trump fired him from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on Friday. He alleged that the firing was "without cause" and "contrary to existing law and longstanding precedent regarding removal of independent agency appointees." According to NPR, he received an email that simply said his firing was "effective immediately."

Hanson had enjoyed bipartisan support for his work for years. Trump initially appointed Hanson to the NRC in 2020, then he was renominated by Joe Biden in 2024. In his statement, he said it was an "honor" to serve, citing accomplishments over his long stint as chair, which ended in January 2025.

It's unclear why Trump fired Hanson. Among the committee chair's accomplishments, Hanson highlighted revisions to safety regulations, as well as efforts to ramp up recruitment by re-establishing the Minority Serving Institution Grant Program. Both may have put him in opposition to Trump, who wants to loosen regulations to boost the nuclear industry and eliminate diversity initiatives across government.

In a statement to NPR, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly suggested it was a political firing.

"All organizations are more effective when leaders are rowing in the same direction," Kelly said. "President Trump reserves the right to remove employees within his own Executive Branch who exert his executive authority."

Although the message the US has send the world is this:
<Get nukes, or else we'll bomb your people and try to overthrow your government.

Whether Iran creates sufficient deterrent with conventional means or whether they go nuclear, i don't know, but I would be very surprised if this episode doesn't inspire a bunch of other countries to conclude that they need the nuclear stick because the neocon no-rules-based-order is scary as fuck.

Nobody said so.
>nor are they an actual democracy whose government policies can be said to be directed by the workers.
Chinese workers have rising wages, that means they must have political power.

>The Chinese state is an electoral oligarchy

No that ain't it, the people in China you consider oligarchs, did try to get political power in the 2000s, a bunch of them got executed as a result. Nominally the Chinese state resembles a ML-type leadership democracy, of note is that decision making in their system is relatively decentralized, which is unusual.

>ultimately governed by the iron law of value

This is true for every system, socialist systems also have a law of value, just not the same as the capitalist one.

> If it make sense for a private capitalist or a government bureaucrat to pursue exploitation abroad because it enhances their profitability, then they will try to make it happen.

Anon, you've got to disabuse yourself of liberal propagandistic notions of what the modern republic is. Oligarchy is not "that thing that comes with capitalism or some previous system", it is simply rule by the few. Elections are not democracy. They are fundamentally oligarchic in nature because they always have and always will select from only that stratum of society able to run for office in the first place. Failure to recognize the role of electoral oligarchies in reinforcing class rule will only lead once more to the tragedies of the sabotage and repeal of the soviet experiments.

>a ML-type leadership democracy

This especially is completely Orwellian gibberish. If you want to defend vanguardism as a necessary and useful tool to transition from a revolution to socialism that's fine, but please don't pretend it resembles actual democracy. The point of vanguardism, ostensibly, is to lead the proles to democracy. Not to give up and settle for an obviously oligarchic system where a class of bureaucrats jockey for power and direct the economy.

Xi Jinping (China's current head of state) started out as a peasant that did manual labor in the fields.
That's pretty good in terms of social mobility. China's political system requires politicians to rise up through the system, they start out in their local government. That always struck me as somewhat more favorable in terms of regular people having the chance to get into high offices.

I don't know why you think that China is an electoral democracy, it's clearly not and they don't describe their system as such either. They call it deliberative democracy.

>This especially is completely Orwellian gibberish.

Leadership democracy is not a term I've made up to befuddle you with double-speak, I've seen other Marxists use it.

The Chinese consider their current system as lowerstage socialism, they have a different name tho, something along the lines of "building towards a moderately prosperous society". That seems to imply that they intent to change their system once a higher stage becomes available, so they kinda agree with you a little bit.

Social mobility doesn't refute the point about elections selecting from a limited stratum of society. Cicero was a so-called novus homo, a "new man", who came from a plebian family which never had political power but he rose to become the most notorious slum lord of the late Roman Republic as well as senator and consul. Traditionally, access to the senate and consulship was so ossified that only established patrician families remained in power throughout generations, so it was often a sensation when a new family rose to power. Did that make Rome any less of an oligarchy? Of course not.

Despite some pretentious "developments" in the naval-gazing profession of political science, "oligarchy" is not about social mobility or even how much inequality a political system has. Is it simply a form of government where a limited group of people rule. Is it true that oligarchy can reinforce class rule? Very much so, classes that already have advantages over another can utilize that advantage to select for themselves in electoral systems. Then, once they're in government, they can implement policies that further privilege themselves. Not only have we seen this trend throughout history since the Greeks coined the term, but it's also been the clear case in "socialist" countries of the contemporary period. Again and again, oligarchic systems of government have privileged the already-existing power of a bureaucratic "state capitalist" class which eventually used them to undermine and overturn the very system they were supposed to defend. Many of the modern "oligarchs" of post-Soviet countries were in fact former Soviet bureaucrats who took the chance to privatize state infrastructure that the originally administered. "Oligarchs" in this sense is a vulgar distortion of the term's original meaning though. Everyone in office in an electoral system is by original definition an oligarch.

This is an unfortunate way to interpret this exchange and it seems to be biasing you against a more important, more fundamental discussion of forms of government and how they interact with capitalism.

Ok you are using the text-book definition of oligarchy. The most common interpretation these days however is that oligarchs are just the biggest capitalists who have captured the keys to power.

As far as china is concerned, i will say again, Chinese workers have rising wages, rising standards of living, and so on. That means they must have political power/influence.

>This is an unfortunate way to interpret this exchange and it seems to be biasing you against a more important, more fundamental discussion of forms of government and how they interact with capitalism. We don't need to play out another round of Neocons vs Idolized Foreign Country Defense Force here.

As long as there are all those neocons and similar creatures lurking around looking to provoke more wars, everything goes through the filter of avoiding anything that can be used to manufacture consent for wars. Find a way of criticizing our political structures in the west in a way that it can't be co-opted by the neocons. I don't want a repeat of freedom-bombs democracy-bombs and human-rights-bombs.

>I like discussing forms of government because I think it is a critical blind spot that the organized Left has ignored for something like 150 years now. Marx himself grew up in a time when the Orwellian inversion of the meaning of "democracy" had already happened thanks to leaders of the French and American revolutions. Ever since his time the Left has far too often assumed uncritically that the modern electoral republic is an inherently good thing and a natural vehicle for socialism if an ideologically-driven party can simply seize power.

If you want to argue that in the west we should try out a Sortition democracy, that's worth a try, the current political systems don't appear to be working, and there might be material conditions for changing that. But that advocacy has to be tied to the west. There cannot be anything that is usable for undermining foreign governments. What China's government is supposed to be is for the Chinese to decide. Not just for the sake of letting other countries have sovereignty, but also to avoid systemic criticism getting diverted to talking about other countries, instead of our systems.

the world works on looks. looks are important. we human will always fully think and associate people with lighter skin color as looking better, better to look at, and is more beautiful/pretty/handsome.
we all also associate lighter skin color with being more feminine for women consider feminine. we can never change this. not a single thing anyone do and say will ever change this. you can never change how people think like this. man or women everybody think like this.

now then have and obvious answer. for the sake of use call it the “Blond Path". we need to produce white people with blue eyes and green eyes and blond hair and ginger hair. the quota would be 10 times the world population including the world population of whites with natural color hair and eyes. To do this we ignore or erase things that are a hindrance such as marriage, monogamy, family unit, relationship, and romance. Production does not stop there, we also need to group ethnic whites together with the same ethnic whites (Ex: Scotts with Scotts, serbs with serbs, and etc). Although this one is of a different program. This program also require us to get rid of the same hindrance the former program have. Both program do not see heigh, body or looks. As long as your face are not horrendous you are good, so even if your not handsome and beautiful you will still be in the program.

As part of the Blond path and to prevent dehumanization and other such unwanted idea,we will educate people. Specifically we will tell them about that one zoning infrastructure real-estate thing (I forgot the name of it) that put black and brown people in place were the chemicals,paint ,water ,walls and environment in general are doing things to their head (mind and brain) and body. In general everybody need to be educated about racist laws and myth and other such things. Other then that we need to eliminate race science and race bias in science.

In short. The world need to have industry level production of ethnic whites and more importantly whites with blue eyes, green eyes, blond hair and red hair because the world work on looks. But we also educate people so they don’t believe in race science and race biased science.

we must advertise this to every rightoid, boomers, and whites.

I am speaking as a brown.

Israel's military announced Friday the deaths of four soldiers in Gaza, saying it needed thousands more troops to press its offensive, just as the premier's coalition faces the prospect of collapse over ultra-Orthodox conscription. News of the soldiers' deaths came as Gaza's civil defence agency reported 38 killed Friday in Israeli attacks across the territory, where Palestinians observed the Eid al-Adha holiday under the shadow of war for a second consecutive year.

HOUDINI: Mutual Aid Organizations | Some Thoughts on Hierarchy and the Creation of It Within Our Own Organizations
As some of you may know, I am a big fan of mutual aid as my primary form of organizing. I think going into your community, providing for the people, trying to build intentional communities, trying to give back to the people—going amongst the masses, doing good works—I do believe that is one of the most effective ways to bolster your connections to your community, connections to your neighborhood, connections to other people. Find new people who are allies. It's just a great starting point. And I think it's something that anyone can do, and it's a nonviolent logistical form of resistance that is infrastructure-focused on action. I'm a big fan of it. That said, I've learned many things in my time, whether it has been going and physically handing out meal kits, safety kits, and hygiene kits to people, or actually working at pop-up soup kitchens, or free fridge programs, what have you. I've learned some things, and I think that we're missing some of the points with mutual aid. Maybe I'm going to come off a little bit too ruthless here, but we are creating hierarchies in our own organizations, and we are effectively doing charity, not mutual aid community building.

Wall Street To Insurers: Keep Denying Care

UnitedHealth Group has been facing growing discontent from its investors, a battle that — as the corporation faces mounting public scrutiny over its care denials — could shape the future of health insurance for 29 million people.

>wealth inequality in America is actually worse than pre-revolutionary France and Russia
And someone else replied:
>America is too powerful militarily to have a revolution

And I realized that leftists have really not addressed this in sufficient capacity.

The implication here is that if we're going to be fighting a revolution, the entire might of the US military would be opposing us.

Tsar Nick N°2 send his navy to attack Japan, they got their asses whooped, the Russian navy felt betrayed and switched allegiance to Lenin and the Bolsheviks. It's called the battle of Tsushima (spelling might be wrong).

>The implication here is that if we're going to be fighting a revolution, the entire might of the US military would be opposing us.

Well the US rulers want to attack China, that could be their battle of Tsushima moment.
Basically get the soldiers to join your side. When a ruling class sends their military into battles they can't win, this all of a sudden becomes very doable.

>I think this is very likely true. And if it's true then it is the single best explanation for why there is no political movement in the US:

If all the workers go on strike, and hide in a hole somewhere, all that military power does nothing.
The real reason why lefty political movements have a hard time in the US, is because imperial super profits enable the imperial bourgoisie to continue extracting profits from their imperial periphery while their domestic workers go on strike. That means they can weather these strikes, they continue to have transnational revenue during strikes which they can use to pay for political repression.

Lenin realized this and basically decided that revolution had to happen in the periphery first in order to break that dynamic. He was mostly correct. During the period of anti-colonial liberation, the British empire lost virtually all of it's colonies and as a result the labor movement in the UK got very strong.

Hot take, but ever consider the factor of the Russo-Ukraine War is just a cess-fes of hypocrisy? Seriously, We can take a recent example that Crimea's bridge got blown up (citation: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cr58e9yr2ezt), even Ukraine admitting to it, but to the world its not a warcrime. HOWEVER, Russia does something similar, everyone shuns Russia, claiming they do all the warcrimes

You are right about the double standard, but you are mistaken about global opinions, most of the world indeed thinks the attacks on the bridge are a warcrime.

Maybe consider that the bbc does not reflect the views of most of the world.

Well, true, BBC doesn't reflect most views, since it is a British news anchor, however even if we look at a few of the US or other European countries news (aside from Ukraine and Russia in this case), most of them never really questions it, although I guess you could say its because its main stream news that would never anyways.

Do you know any good independent sources?

I wonder if the BBC reflects the views of most Brits at this point.

Maybe not in this particular case, about a Russian bridge that is very far away and doesn't really affect them. But the number of people that distrust this type of media in general is probably very high.

Party declaration:
https://x.com/ACPMain/status/1815163785134436404

The American Communist Party (ACP) is an organization which aims to reconstitute the historic Communist Party USA, which has become corrupted by federal agents and liberal forces. Look no further than Joe Sims, who supports the genocidal Democratic Party. It was launched in July of 2024, in response to the events of the 32nd Convention of the CPUSA. At this convention, party leadership subverted and betrayed democratic centralism and the freedom of critique which is supposed to follow from it. They claimed to be a genuine Marxist-Leninist party, but the leadership doesn't even follow their own rules. The CPUSA delayed all elections and without a vote made a resolution that they’d basically just campaign for Democrats. Just a bunch of boomers sitting around and writing articles about identity politics rather than organizing.

Already the ACP is far more successful than anyone would have expected from a brand new baby party. They are building reputation locally, taking care of their own communities and making areas safe for children and families to enjoy. Diplomatic ties on the international level have already been established. ACP has garnered more attention in the past couple months than the corrupt, decadent CPUSA leadership has in decades. A huge number of the CPUSA clubs across the entire country had a huge part in making this happen. Will you join up?

>My dogmatism is better than yours!
As dogmatic as orthodox Marxists can be, at least they don't allow opportunists to pervert Marxist teachings and introduce contrafactual concepts and ideas that promote their bourgeois views. Not all revisionism is warranted. The same way not all interpretations of Stirner are valid, some self-proclaimed Stirnerites actually use Stirner to justify their own spooks. Which is very dishonest.

WSWS Covid take was easily the worst among the entire left but they were based as fuck for ruthlessly shitting on 1619 Project. That said Gerald Horne is a true anti imperialist and never falls for the shitlib trap of "criticizing" Russia and China. Sadly he is a Democratic Party tailist and spreads the moronic notion that Trump's election and Jan 6 was a huge step toward fascism. As if we didn't have fascism for decades and decades.

I mean building your entire platform around them, to the exclusion of others. I'm a-ok working with someone who goes to church weekly and hates gays. That's different from going around and saying "hey people who go to church and hate gays, here's the party for you!", because it'll turn off everyone who isn't them. If the ACP was smart, they'd bring on leadership with a wide variety of opinions all across the political spectrum, with their belief in socialism being the unifying factor. Instead, you have the same zoomer trying and failing to be Andrew Tate meets Nick Fuentes ten times.

As an aside, it's important to realize that the ACP is very good at making itself look like it's bigger and doing more than it actually is. The actual membership numbers are out there if you look for them, and they're not particularly impressive, with growth falling off the further you get into 2025.
