Capitalism isn’t an collective, rational consciousness between peoples (although it might be a transition towards that). It moves and develops more or less predictably according to the laws laid out in Das Kapital.

If some companies want to do degrowth to save the climate, others that refuse to do so will simply overcome them and absorb their capital.

Exactly. Those are all different forms of property, manifesting according to the surrounding conditions. Someone should write a book on that!

I misread that as ‘restructure feudal agencies’ and didn’t bat an eye

E: anyway, interesting that we’ll be watching america decompose in real time. Less central planning and organizing will surely help america in their economic war against entire continents and economic blocs!

Over/under on america being bought by Huawei in 10 years?

E2: this also seems like an important step towards full blown fascism. Social programs will be cut and workers rights will be slashed. This assures the military gets a bonus to expand value extraction abroad, while the cops also get more funding and assure the growth of value extraction at home.

Waves of coups and privatization in the global south are coming up, these are very dark times. Hopefully this signalizes the birth of something new, as everyone realizes we need global coordinated action to fight against the great satan.

I can already see the waves of “Trump is funding Nazis abroad 😱”

while I’m busy irl!

No relation whatsoever to what is going to happen in Tel Aviv next thursday

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?

Depending on the actual thing you’re considering, it’s putting the knowledge into practice and having a clear way of evaluating whether you’re failing

Me sowing (parasitizing third world countries for extracting capital): hahaha yes!

Me reaping (decomposing my productive state into a bloated financial institution): owiee nooo

Then get ashamed for how you acted

I’ll get that reaction immediately to almost any noise 🙉

Mostly if I’m already kinda stressed. If not, then it will take a few minutes of noise before I crack

It also takes much less time and effort to create content for a foum compared to a video platform, that might interfere when trying to build a community from the ground up
