Which orgs are you referring to? There's been a few splits lol

Seconded. I feel like some of the more "news mega" positions here , genuine or not , come about as sort of autoimmune reactions to the everyday liberalism most people here live with constantly. So I get where it comes from even if I don't find it to be correct.

No I am saying he is wrong

Me when I am not cured of a disease, merely rescued from it's symptoms and effects to the point where I am no longer adversely affected

Source?

The rest is fine but at the end of the article the author goes over what to do. "Demand more responsibility from our leaders."

We're still doing this pablum? If you really wanna do something, you gotta be a communist, you gotta join an org, you gotta work towards some kind of dual power. You think petitions, or even marches are doing permanent damage to capitalism without serious worker orgs behind them?

The interviews he did with Oliver Stone were better

When I see a bunch of white kids wearing kaffiyehs I can’t help wonder whatever happened to the whole anti-cultural appropriation thing. When someone drones on about “solidarity,” all I hear is, “Get in line.” When there’s no room for dissent from the dissent, there’s no room for me. Color me an anti-fan of performative politics, particularly if it means I’d be part of the show that features bigots posing as bleeding hearts. Plus, all that earnestness! It brings out my ironic and impish side, inclined to correct typos on signage or foment some kind of peripheral debate. Every time someone at one of those encampments cried out “Free Palestine” I’d be tempted to yell “From Hamas!” I’d surely get kicked out of the group that wants to kick other people out. They don’t want troublemakers

Someone could go through this and pick this shit pile apart. But all I can say is: to gutless, spineless, bloodless liberals that think their nuance is anything but the blinders they wear to ignore the charnel house they built and live in,

However it is the correct direction to increase the mass of aggregate profits

The whistleblower alleged around 60 parts were being improperly stored outdoors, with Boeing ordering employees to move most of them to another location after the FAA issued them a June 2023 notice that it would be doing an inspection.

He additionally claims the parts were eventually moved back outdoors or became “lost completely.”

Mohawk alleged his job of handling nonconforming parts became way more demanding after all 737 Max’s were grounded amidst the two deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019, and subsequently returned to production after the FAA gave the go-ahead.

He claimed that “the overwhelming number of nonconforming parts eventually led his superiors to direct him and others to eliminate or ‘cancel’ the records that designate a part as nonconforming,” the memo stated.

Maybe putting the parts outside with the rain and UV damage will bring them back to spec

Do we recognise money as real? No? Then the financial transactions making the world go round are magic. They are founded on magical thinking. Belief made manifest, just as we seek to do. Do we recognise Deus as real? No? Then prayer is magic. Do we recognise the wiccan goddess as real? No? Then wicca is magic. But since we don’t value reality, we can use wicca, if we wish. Soulism has no problem with magical beliefs. When we exert our will to shape our perceptions of reality, what we are doing is called magic. Our belief that reality is untrue is itself not real. How could it be real? Magic sits at the core of soulist praxis

Oh man I can't read anymore. 150 years of actual socialist struggle making concrete gains for a real transformation of economic modes? Nah just believe whatever you want to be true

Rowe takes what should be seen as a poignant contradiction in the workplace (and one that can be used to agitate) and instead goes "Hmm well the boss wants to make money and the worker seems to be willing to change falling off scaffolding. This is perfectly equal and good and nothing more to see here."

There's a small kernel of truth in what he's saying, and he doesn't touch on it because the implications are not good for a boot licker like him. Construction workers are not "willing to take risks" , they are

1. Propagandised to see safety as a time wasting useless function

2. Demoralised by what safety measures are in place because most exist to punish workers on the ground for mistakes and not reward continual success

3. Disciplined by deadlines, piecework, their bosses to go as fast as possible.

Ironically enough the same people on site that tell everyone to be as safe as possible are also the same ones pushing improbable finish dates for work, workers see this hypocrisy and understand that, without some kind of mass backing them, if they are going to be firm on workplace rules there's a good chance they're next when layoffs come around.

ZA/UM's post-Disco projects

Y12: Cancelled. Full sequel to Disco Elysium, shelved after the departure of Kurvitz, Rostov, and Hindpere.

P1: Cancelled. Sci-fi game headed by Disco Elysium producer and former ZA/UM shareholder Kaur Kender, who sued the studio after his departure. Staff folded into X7 following cancellation.

X7: Cancelled. Disco Elysium spin off/standalone expansion headed by Dora Klindžić and Argo Tuulik.

M0: In development. A smaller-scale Elysium game targeting touchscreen devices.

C4: In development. ZA/UM's primary remaining project, a large-scale RPG that is not part of the Elysium setting.

so the only disco Elysium content being developed is a mobile app. What happened to the original 3 devs, have they just disappeared or something

I just googled who the CEO was and volozh popped up. didn't know about the other one

Considering that he was born in the USSR but immigrated to Israel later in life, yes it does matter that he is Israeli. He is of the opinion that it's good to settle in a country that floats on top of Palestinian blood.

but for geopolitics

Select hits from his profile

Please replace the relatively sane soldiers with these guys

I mean if we're really gonna use the Titanic argument, let's also note that communists knew the iceberg was coming since the boat left port, have drawn up plans for everyone to safely evacuate the boat, and have outlined a totally new iceberg proof boat that we can all sail in.

Meanwhile the liberals barricaded in the control room have been busy sipping champagne and shooting anyone trying to steer the ship on a new course.

Is there a source for this? In the news mega someone also claimed that they raised the salaries of workers and cut political salaries but that turned out to be bogus unfortunately

Ok I found one source, apparently it was a bank first established as a joint venture with Libya in the 80s https://libyaobserver.ly/inbrief/burkina-faso-nationalizes-libyan-arab-bank-commerce-and-development

Right, I just think it's worth emphasising this point as the communist response to capital just letting humans die without dignity in order to save a buck.

Saying only that people should just accept their horrible approaching deaths as inevitable is defeatist and myopic.
