  • Profits must endlessly increase, costs must endlessly reduce, until no one is able to purchase a service anymore on the market, and starvation makes revolution against a tiny class of people who owns literally everything inevitable. Because every capitalist fears that the next capitalist will out do them and demote them to a low ranking worker in the capitalist competition. The daily operation of capitalism writes its own demise, and technology merely exacerbates the existing social relations.


  • I don’t want to sound like I am crassly glazing my own country (China), but come to think of it, I am immensely thankful that China is taking up the economic fight against US hegemony.

    arms industry -> Good luck with missiles and jets while we hold rare earth and specialized metal industries in hard check
    big oil -> renewables are gaining ground despite efforts of big oil to cripple them, and most solar panels are now exported by China
    big tech -> Alternatives are here, including a much more resource efficient ecosystem of AI, to the point even companies in Silicon Valley are using them
    automotive industry -> Got Ford so shocked, lobbying efforts have been made in Washinton to never allow Chinese EVs to compete

    Also, banking and international transaction -> used to be, SWIFT was the only game in town, now no longer.

    Despite not being a “pure” socialist state, China is taking on the challenge of the century and taking on the crumbling empire by it’s neck.














  • The superstructure of Fascism, built upon the economic basis of seisure and deprivation of the fruits of labour of others, can only sustain itself by continuing the only economic activity that fits them, namely the othering, deprivation, and slaughter of other non-self members of society.

    Without constant external conflict, they turn upon themselves and attempt to continue that exercise of deprivation upon people they formerly considers to be members of the collective. In other words, without an external enemy for them to tear into, they will fracture into a million sub-groups that tear each other apart. Even with the constant search of an external enemy, eventually the Fascist collective will stumble upon an enemy they do not have sufficient resources to kill, and thus will either die trying, or halt and tear themselves apart from the internal dynamic.

    Capitalism adores these death cults because they are not only a pressure valve that will divert class conflict away from their class, can serve as henchmen for the Capitalist class for minimal lip service to their superstructure, and are also a problem that will “sort itself out” as they lodge the working class in a permanently disadvantaged position from the constant upheaval and conflict.


  • They invoke Rule 1, “No threaten harm and violence”. Every single time its fine for the Empire and their supporters to wish, threaten, and jeer about harm on the rest of the world, and it’s never OK to return 1/10 of the favor for them. Not even by suggesting they deserve what they do to others.

    Edit: Its just a feeling, but it seems like they are more sensitive this time around even when compared to 2024 when Israel came under the scrutiny of the world and the world started to see the US Empire for what it is. When reactionaries become sensitive and jumping to retaliate ten times out of ten they are scared. So, the empire is feeling under the weather. A bit of solice for myself, though I do want to see them crumble.
