really highlights how divorced from reality people on oligarch controlled media platforms are

To be more precise, the USA has democracy for the ruling class which is the capital owning class.

program tends to be the more general term while application tends to refer to a tool with a GUI

Given how things are going, the fucking it up badly option is very much on the table.

lol hard pass

I'm never going to cease to be amazed how much mental energy people spend obsessing over whether something is AI generated or not.

Vershinin has had consistently good analysis throughout the war I find. A few of his other articles are a great read as well. If people listened to this sort of sober analysis from the start, so many lives could've been saved and a needless war could've been avoided.

I'm just hoping the oligarchs in the US will decide they'd rather rule over a diminished empire than live the rest of their days out in bunkers like rats.

There's every reason to expect that given that China hasn't been at war since the 70s, and hasn't been pushing their system down the throats of others the way the US does.

🥱

the enlightened Nordic socialist model in action everybody

The examples you listed are either small scale, unable to challenge the overarching capitalist system they exist in, or they no longer exist at all. If you consider that a success then I really don't know what else to say.

How is that a straw man? It’s literally what you said.

It's literally not what I said. What I actually said is that the nature of human relations did not fundamentally change in the past century, not that there haven't been any changes. If you claim there has been some fundamental change in society, that would invalidate ML approach to organization, then do articulate what you think that was.

You're gonna need some robo-wasps to keep the robo-bee population in check, it's just how it works.

your attempt at an insult is as good as your object recognition

technically that's a self-propelled artillery piece :)

Is your definition of success the establishment of a socialist state? Because anarchists are never going to do that.

My definition is the ability to defend the revolution and prevent a counter revolution. Marxists have been able to do this, but Anarchists have not. Incidentally, Zapatistas have actually started creating more central system now as well. Anarchists are free to demonstrate a working alternative to that though.

You don’t actually believe that basically nothing has changed since before the industrial revolution, do you? That seems intentionally obtuse.

You can't actually address what I said without making a straw man can you?

Last I checked it was Ukraine that was kidnapping victims as western media openly reports. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/15/world/europe/ukraine-military-recruitment.html

Funny how you forgot about the foreign legion, and all the other military support that's given. Very wow. Such powerful. NATO da best!

Sure, propaganda works as long as it has some material basis behind it. Whose propaganda it is has no impact on that.

yup https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/05/world/ukraine-money-military-aid-intl-dg
