We are hurling towards a great crisis. The unipolar capitalist order is returning to a precarious balance of great powers. This transition will be accompanied by a major economic crisis in the Euroatlancist, but in particular, EU economic bloc. Its clear that the old imperialist state is running on its last reserves and will have to reorganize itself to regain vitality. This will lead to the financial and industrial capitalist consolidating power and turning the bourgeois dictatorship, if need be, towards fascism.

The latter, however, only happens if it is absolutely necessary. It only happens if the working class, organized under a communist vanguard, fails to establish and hold firm grasp over a proletarian dictatorship. It is the reaction to a proletariat who dared to upset the old world.

The current turn to fascism in Germany and Italy is no more fascist, than the CPC is communist. Those are just brainworms of the past eating the brains of the living. They stand neither for il Duce nor the Fuhrer, they are hollow echoes of the disorganized petty-bourgeoisie.

Otherwise, the bourgeoisie will just bend the backs of the politically unorganized working class to cover the costs of the green transition. The fascists will be given cushy managerial positions, they will settle like the disgruntled small bourgeois always dreams of, and become an appandage of the imperialist state.

Fascism is not what the bourgeoisie wants. It is not what is happening in Europe, in spite of all the screaming and crying by neo-stalinists and neo-trotskyites alike. We are not facing fascism - we are facing liberalism.

The major issue with European labor organizing is that it never managed to break the glass ceiling of the bourgeois state apparatus. The SPD failed. The PCF failed. The PCI failed. In Eastern Europe, socialism came with the sword, and with the people's popular democracies, which were neither here nor there. Yugoslavia was the only exception, but even then it failed against the bourgeois state, just like Hungary, just like Slovakia, just like every other soviet republic in the 20s (besides Russia) and its communist movement grew against the fascist reaction.

The European communists never had to struggle with liberalism, and this is leading to the strange tactic of following the liberals almost tit for tat while demonizing fascist boogeyman.

Just like the facsists, also the head of communists is filled witPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Israeli jets bomb eastern Lebanon for the first time since Gaza war began
Lebanese security officials say Israel has targeted eastern Lebanon for the first time since the war on Gaza began in October last year. At least two people were killed on Monday after Israeli military planes carried out three air strikes on the outskirts of Buday village near Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold in the Bekaa Valley about 100km (62 miles) from the Israel-Lebanon border.

Ghaben suffered from severe chest and lung problems, and the lack of medicines and oxygen in Gaza had made it impossible for him to get treatment inside the besieged enclave. Israeli authorities did not allow him to leave to seek medical treatment elsewhere.

Hindu far-right lobbied Canadian cities to celebrate a mosque’s destruction
A group with ties to India’s far-right Hindutva movement lobbied 10 Canadian municipalities to declare Jan. 22 “Ayodhya Ram Mandir Day,” The Breach has found. The day celebrates the consecration ceremony for the Ram Mandir, a temple built on the ruins of a 16th-century mosque in Ayodhya, India, that was destroyed by a mob of Hindu nationalists in 1992, triggering a wave of communal violence across the country. Brampton and Oakville went ahead with the proclamations, according to emails to the Hindu Canadian Foundation that have been viewed by The Breach. The proclamations, however, are not publicly available on the cities’ websites and the cities did not respond to requests for clarification from The Breach. The Hindu Canadian Foundation is part of a growing list of lobbyist organizations affiliated with the Hindu far-right movement in Canada. The movement, spearheaded by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been tied to a litany of human rights abuses in its political project to re-fashion India as an exclusively Hindu state.

I have an idea. How about we do an experiment on economic planning online.
The way I envision it would be to use data from search engines and or social media and plan production based on that. There'd be a list of 10,000 items. So we could grab real data from Google or Facebook somehow which we'd have to pay for or find an alternative. Maybe instead of a search engine we'd have buttons with each item and people would press on the one their interested in to illustrate the point. Yes that sounds like the most straightforward way I think.

consumer demand? more or less the same way it is done under capitalism; a market for consumer goods

which is nowhere near a complete and coherent description of your preferences as a consumer. it is useful information but it is not enough and not a prerequisite for planning

Hello. Britbong with no clue about American politics here. This question is for the Americans. A left wing guy I know from the US tells me that if Trump became candidate for the Republicans, over say Hayley. it would be a GOOD thing because it would damage the party; i.e. primary polling data shows that more people are likely to vote AGAINST the Republicans. He even says that it will reduce the power of te party in both houses, as it will lead to Trump and Putin loyalists being ousted more quickly.

What's the likelihood he's right on either of these points? Part of me feels very deeply that it's incorrect, that it's too much of a gamble, but I don't know what to say.

Look how much everyone with power doesn't want Trump. Hayley and anyone else will tell you, policy wise, there is no difference between them. Hayley will just do whatever he does more efficiently and with more of an air of dignity. Actually biggest difference will be Trump pulling shenanigans with foreign policy whereas Hayley will just do whatever Biden is already doing.

I never followed wrestling, because it was obviously fake and gay.
Little did I know, it was the model of the modern world.

Don’t get me wrong, I knew the system was compromised by lobbyists, the military industrial complex and the corporate media was in the business of manufacturing consent. But I still believed if we just voted for a benevolent ruler, we could change everything.
I remember pulling the lever for Obama filled with hope ™️. I genuinely believed he would change ™️ the world.
After it became evident that he was a race swap of George W Bush, I lost all Hope ™️ for our democratic institutions.
Once it became apparent that a literal WWE villain was going to be the GOP nominee and a bunch of dorks in costumes started wrestling in the streets, did I begin to make the connection between politics and professional wrestling. But I couldn’t quite put the pieces together.

Then I ran across this video series about Kayfabe theory. And the puzzle really fit together.
