After Biden's meltdown, the Democrats are hoping to reenergize people with a supposedly "progressive" pick for Kamala Harris' running mate.

I’m not sure how salient the Dark Crystal franchise is to the public consciousness, though Netflix did a series five years ago.

Skeksis are like capitalists in that, while they may fight amongst themselves & backstab each other, their primary & common cause is Gelfling subjugation, through deceit if possible or naked violence if necessary.

Hope hell is real

This is what passes as the 'left-wing' in America? Yeah right, this freak is a fascist. The Democrats are just a wing of the Conservatives at this point. Politics in America is a joke. Unionize. Organize. Revolt.

Briliant Idea !

Short notice I know, but we need to spread the word of Palestinian liberation more than ever before.

Vad mer håller de från dig?

One of my bunch-of-related-thoughts posts....

• Most countries are not in a revolutionary state now. There is insufficient class-consciousness, insufficient socialist ideology.

• Countries move from a non-revolutionary state to a revolutionary state partly because the contradictions become intensified (the crisis of capitalism, e.g. in 2008-2011 things were more revolutionary), but also partly by propaganda.

• Heightening the contradictions deliberately is.... I know some comrades are for that (accelerationists) but it seems evil to me.

• That leaves propaganda as the correct praxis for countries not ripe for revolution (most developed countries now)

• Propaganda ain't what it used to be because media technologies have changed. Handing out fliers on the street loses you credibility.

• Fifth-generation warfare (5GW) is warfare that is conducted primarily through non-kinetic military action, such as social engineering, misinformation, cyberattacks, along with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and fully autonomous systems. Fifth generation warfare has been described by Daniel Abbot as a war of "information and perception". – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth-generation_warfare (yeah that was just a fragmentary thought, I warned you at the top)

• Propaganda has to a lot to do with repetition. It's not just about crafting the perfect meme, it's about people seeing that meme millions and millions of times

• So it might sound like I'm driving towards "Socialists should have a lot of bots and automated social media campaigns!" but I'm not. I think capitalists have an unfair advantage there because A) they own twitter/facebook/youtube so they control the algorithms and the bans and the shadowbans B) they can probably outspend on developers and on compute

• Not sure then what the answer is.... maybe if social media companies were shut down by regulators/EU, and it creates a vacuum for digital communications on a more level footing?

• I'm pretty sure of this much: leftists should be A) creating lots and lots of propaganda, different types (to suit different tastes) and B) distributing it a lot (which almost certainly means digitally)

• Some might say a lot of different media are required, e.g. computer games, films, as well as the usual text and posters.

Some of us were interested in getting our positions organized in a similar manner. Maybe we can produce some similar slide of our own with enough discussion. I know the original intent of this comm was meant to be sort of a meme repository, but I figure a more serious discussion is within the spirit of the place.

It's a good opportunity to learn from each other as well.

I think my idea is that we can have some discussions and do a little bit of "debate club" here in this post. If we get on the same page, we can create some graphics or other resources to simplify the arguments and find our way to the "knife edge" of the discussion, cutting through the crap more easily.
