You only care if it works

If you can't maintain it it won't work forever

well also being apartheid, settler colonial states, that relied on US support and technical military dominance over neighbours, and that developed nuclear weapons on their own

Thousands of guidanceless rockets were fired at Isreal, are they expected not to respond?

This kind of thinking is what got the troubles as bad as it was

Palestinian politics is also very heavily influenced by which group is getting external support and aid

I was actually just comparing what Israel is doing now to a policy of nazi Germany regarding racial redistribution of property

that's fair

what of the poor Germans who moved into the homes seized from Jews where would they go if we gave those homes back

Israel and South Africa really are very similar countries

lets not get into are Jews white

The Russian state was under strain from their use of feudalism, WW1 and the famines. It was a different situation

It is important to consider what you are up against. The western left's disarray is also linked to CIA funding to our more contentious tendencies as well

I'm not convinced that they won't just kill us for trying. As lenin pointed out in state and revolution the revolutionary potential of a country is hampered by state security forces and the west has a lot of that and a lot of surveilance.

My hope is mainly that while the west is hurtling towards mania the west is also actively mismanaged and having its influence decline.

China are the rising power and they seem a calming influence

LLMs are not the aspects of AI that are going to have the biggest impact. It will be AI based tools for evaluating data in the aid of specific tasks that has the big effect

Yeah but it's about as relevant to running a business as a manual to use a toaster

I think cultural anti-intelectualism to some extent comes from the belief that intelectuals don't care about their interests or wellbeing. Not helped by the historic lack of accessibility of education

I think the latter is improving somewhat

meant to read it then never actually got around to it

it's not even relevant if they did read it. It's an instruction manual for running an ancient chinese army

not solely by the exploitation of laborers but also through the ceaseless march of technological advancement

interesting where does this technical advancement come from?

Capital, clearly. Not a single anti communist has ever read it because they never once refute a single talking point from the actual book

Almost no one has actually read capital it's like the Bible hugely influential but almost no one is willing to actually read the thing
