I kinda fell into IT. You can get decent salary and benefits for work that’s at least intellectually stimulating. And there are a number of nontechnical roles if programming isn’t your thing.

The US may want all this (and more, Project for a New American Century and all that), but the question is whether they can materially pull it off. When you realize they’ve spent the last 50 years outsourcing all production, increasingly putting finance capital in charge, you can really see the scale of the problem, quantitatively and qualitatively.

Does that mean it’s impossible? Or that the evil empire will go down without a fight? Of course not. But socialism is proving that it is more productive than capitalism, while capitalism continues to produce its own grave diggers.

That’s awesome, I hadn’t heard of Graz before.

Commie Boogaloo!

What about “parallel” organizing? There are other means of building political power the party could focus on or support. Union organizing, tenants unions, strikes, protests, etc. Building power outside the government could help create the pressure needed to push changes within it.

tl;dr: value added is value captured

Ugh. Definitely possible, although that would be a change from the current US position of pretending it’s restraining “israel” to being directly involved.

Hezbollah just keeps hitting “israeli” airbases. Once the zionists lose their air force, there’ll be little military difference between them and an armed gang.

You’d need a Geiger counter to measure copium this strong.

"Kursk was a good idea, it exposed Russia as being weaker than many people believed,” said a commander of a Ukrainian ground forces unit. “But we are paying the price of it with [more of our own land].”

That’s pretty much my kid’s energy all day!

:D

To make matters worse, Biden doesn’t remember who Modi is! https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5746243

Agreed. It’s an amazing film.

Finally! An “israeli” airbase has been heavily bombarded. Here’s hoping their planes were wiped out. https://t.me/PalestineResist/58415

That would be a brilliant strategy. No need to cut off the head of the snake if you can starve it.

I was hoping the moves would be against bigger fish like Lockheed Martin or Boeing, but this is a start.

Pursuant to Articles 3, 4, 6, 9 and 15 of China’s Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, China decided to take the following countermeasures against Sierra Nevada Corporation, Stick Rudder Enterprises LLC, Cubic Corporation, S3 AeroDefense, TCOM, Limited Partnership, TextOre, Planate Management Group, ACT1 Federal and Exovera:

Their movable, immovable and all other types of property in China will be frozen.

Organizations and individuals in China will be prohibited from engaging in transactions, cooperation or other activities with the above-mentioned enterprises.

The decision will become effective from Sept 18, 2024.

From the article:

According to the Korean Iron and Steel Association, Chinese steel costs an average of $863 per ton, compared with a price of $2,570 per ton for Korean steel.

Reminds me of this bit in the Manifesto:

The cheap prices of commodities are the heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls…

Capitalism is set to go the way of feudalism:

At a certain stage in the development of these means of production and of exchange, the conditions under which feudal society produced and exchanged, the feudal organisation of agriculture and manufacturing industry, in one word, the feudal relations of property became no longer compatible with the already developed productive forces; they became so many fetters. They had to be burst asunder; they were burst asunder.
