Eddington level you can see everything meta comedy. This is what will be necessary in the future to maintain American empire.

It’s incredible— just openly confessing in the guise of a bit while your mistress is right there & playing along with it as if it isn’t the truth. The levels of dramatic irony are something any artist should study here. This is the sort of scene you want in a contemporary film.

Zohran Mamdani sides with LANDLORDS over public housing and tenant activists
The Goydani admin is actively pushing a $1.2 billion dollar demolition and privatization plan that would displace thousands of working class New Yorkers, breaking yet ANOTHER campaign promise in one of the most historic betrayals of all time
Mamdani has to be one of the biggest sellouts in modern political history
The state acquires it's authority through necessity, the standard Hegelian dialectical concept. When it serves no necessity, it loses all its authority. Marxist Leninists are not absolute statists. We believe as necessity is met in an absolute sense. The state ceases to exist.
Only absolute authority can command absolute necessity.
And no "principles" in the form of "ideas" can exist before the necessity of your stomach is met. Thought requires energy.
Private ownership meaning people owning stuff and commanding some kind of control over it defies the necessity the collective evmconomic system has. Again absolute authority of individual ownership defies any logic of what society needs, it looses its authority to exist.
This is the status quo in so called capitalist societies. Despite being 4 times larger than the US, China confiscated about the same ammount (roughly $3.5 billion) in 2022. That's 4 times less per capita. Explain this "principle" to me.
I can predict your response: you will say that American government is violating its own "principles", so then I will say where are these magical principles, to which you will appeal to an ideal. You are an idealist.
It dosen't matter. The second image is the reality of American and dollar zone economy. Bottom line: for every dollar of investment into something there are 2 dollars of debt. Does this meet your "principles"?
It's not utopia I believe in. It's principles.
Capitalism rests on private property, individual rights, and voluntary exchange.
By what principle of capitalism does the state acquire the authority to confiscate property, dictate economic terms, or force one individual to provide for another?
Those powers contradict the very rights capitalism is supposed to protect.
Communists seem perfectly capable of understanding what PUBLIC ownership means, yet suddenly struggle with the meaning of PRIVATE ownership.
And calling me an idealist doesn't answer the question.
If a government violates capitalist principles, that's an argument against the government, not those principles.
You're confusing the existence of capitalism with the absence of violations against it.
Getting to the point of McCarythist level anti-Russian sentiment amongst the pro Nato rightoids.
They're thinking about the guillotine.
Fascism's philosophy and historical political roots were heavily individualist. Their actualization of the individual through the state is virtually identical to liberalism and its conservation of Anarchy (which is Sowell's grift).
"The Fascists were completely against individualism in general and especially against individualism in a free market economy. Their agenda included minimum wage laws, government restrictions on profit-making, progressive taxation of capital, and “rigidly secular” schools."
...
"Indeed, the whole Fascist economic agenda bears a remarkable resemblance to what liberals would later advocate." — THOMAS SOWELL

Then it should be taken over by the people and made to serve the interests of the average person. It should literally be a dictatorship of the average guy. It should terrorize the "elites".

Those who are opposed to corporations and favor government do not realize that government is simply the largest, most monopolistic corporation of all and it has a monopoly on violence.
DSA strategy prescription for the supposed preiminent western "Communist" philosopher. Žižek continues his descent into negative dialectic.
He's a Browderist like the Goose fuckers.
Marxist philosopher Slavoj Žižek argues that the only two forces competing in American politics are MAGA populists and democratic socialists. The latter, he says, should “penetrate the Democratic Party” rather than establish a separate party, and focus on grassroots organizing across various states.
Laugh riot: Trotskyism created all these splits in the first place. Another "You can see everything" moment from Trots.
ICL split from SWP in the 60's over not supporting the Castro and called the Cuban revolution a "deformed workers state". This is who taught Chris Cutrone by the way, so this is where Platypus comes from.
"We have a problem with splitting" has to be the most ridiculous statement coming from Trotskyists, especially considering the smart SWP "splitters" went on to form the backbone of Imperialism as the Neocons. The left-wing versions never did shit.
Always remember there are more Trot split groups than there are elements on the periodic table.
You can see everything.
AOC is on the ballot when you vote for NYC-DSA delegate. Vote the Socialist Must Lead slate #1 by Sunday Oct 25th at 11:59 pm to ensure DSA is laying the groundwork for an AOC presidential campaign!
DSA is a big tent of Democratic Socialist Capitslists who want to end worker opression.
You can see everything.
Always remember elites are masters at manipulation. These Zionist ethno nationalists aren't at all concerned about "morality". You think they care about some fucking around when they justify genocide without any concern?
It's part of the show and an expansion of the brand and a coordinated narrative from Langley. This is just an evolution - going from 4 million viewers to 10+ million and beyond.
It leverages its own audiences sense of moral indignation against what is societally acceptable in the aggregate. When they make up and "figure things out" it will prove to the millions of viewers than anything can be transcended- such is what is necessary for the fantasy state of Israel to exist.
As soon as this happens new negative freedoms are granted and the decadence of bougeouis society continues- more and more decay and degeneracy guaranteed.
"I justify genocide and mindless abstract being in something that has no right to exist, something only a tiny minority can possess against the vast masses. I cheated on my wife plus Israel has a right to exist - I have completely transcended reality."
"Philosophy for the extremely envious" meaning the vast majority of people who own nothing? Blind pride of the top 1% owning 60% of global wealth may get the better of them.
I'll stick with the vast majority of people. Elites don't seem to care about keeping their heads.

The “miracle” of compounding interest.
This is possibly the most fundamental contradiction in modern capitalism. Debt grows exponentially while income does not.
Therefore, how are people supposed to pay off their debts?
Modern economists simply ignore this, and grifter financial advisors like Caleb Hammer & Dave Ramsey individualize the debt problem by claiming it’s the result of personal lifestyle decisions.
In reality, the problem is entirely structural. The richest people in our society make money by loaning money at interest. Then they use the money they receive in loan payments to issue even more loans.
This steadily grows the debt burden which acts as economic overhead draining societal wealth and ensuring that it isn’t invested in anything productive. What’s accumulated is not real tangible capital, as occurred during the Industrial Revolution, but fictitious capital in the form of paper or digital money.
A more backwards and parasitic economy than this could scarcely be imagined.
These ridiculous mechanistic abstractions just show how nominal and removed vulgar materialist "scientific thought" has devolved into absurdity.
Just disregard these silly anti-metaphysics and get with a Penrose / Hameroff theory that at least attempts to explain things beyond pedestrian mechanism.
We're so backwards and limited by our empirical understanding therefore we must confine ourselves to this perception??
"I am a computer program!"
Embodiment is basically irrelevant for consciousness, so says @DavidDeutschOxf... and he brings the proof.

Iran completely DECOLONIZES the Middle East! As the Trump administration announces a full-blown military scale-down from the region
Trump and Hegseth were talking all that trash about destroying Iran only to get immediately humbled and instead demilitarized themselves, suffering the most embarrassing loss in United States history.
