My new article on #Bitcoin mining from #Marxist perspective. It aims to reconcile the antagonism of Marx and Negri's take on labour theory of value by introducing labour theory of control 🤩 https://t.co/6ehyDdPUkO

"Massive investment in AI contributed basically zero to US economic growth last year," per Goldman Sachs

YouTube asking “does this feel like AI slop” is not them protecting you.

It’s them using you to train their next AI to make slop so good you’ll never be able to tell the difference.

And they got you to do it for free…

Make no mistake. The US/Israel war against Iran is a colonial war. Like the genocide in Palestine, the invasion of Iraq and Libya, the incineration of Vietnam and Laos, it is war to subjugate the people of the global South and annihilate their resistance. Colonialism has no place in humanity and it must be defeated.

Elon Musk personally blocked high speed rail in California by telling officials his hyperloop would be superior. He of course never built it because it was made up. He’s admitted to this

@dieworkwear @elonmusk Yeah! We should maximize the marginal utility of every dollar!

New Oxfam report finds that billionaire wealth increased 3x faster last year than in previous years. A clear reminder that right-wing populism is fake populism.

Michael Parenti:

"Fascism is a false revolution. It cultivates the appearance of popular politics and a revolutionary aura without offering a genuine revolutionary class content. It propagates a 'New Order' while serving the same old moneyed interests...

[Fascist] leaders are not guilty of confusion but of deception."

If you are wondering why shit keeps getting worse it is because both parties serve the same capitalist and imperialist system. All elections do is put a different face on the same system that is screwing us all over. The only way to break this cycle is a working class revolution.

“An unarmed woman was killed by ICE…so we’re here to protect the community. If ICE thinks they’re going to brutalize the people on our watch? Fuck around and find out.”

It's not hypocrisy, it's capitalism.

The bizarre behaviour of Western states and leaders often seems to betray a moral double standard. But in fact it is all perfectly consistent with a single standard, namely, the objective of maintaining the conditions for capital accumulation in the core.

On Iran, they tell us they "support the protestors". But of course they violently brutalize protestors at home, and never support protests against the governments of their often brutal client states.

They say they support "women's rights". But of course they actively support a genocidal regime that has massacred tens of thousands of women, live-streamed to our screens.

They say they want to see "freedom" and "democracy". But of course they prop up several repressive dictatorships in the Middle East.

They say they value international law. But they violate it regularly, in spectacular fashion, as easily as they breathe.

They say they want to see "liberation". But their explicit objective is to impose a puppet monarchy with zero real sovereignty, permanently subordinated to the US and Israel.

Why? Because they want to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation in the core.

This requires a massive flow of cheap labour and resources from the periphery. To keep it going, they do everything possible to crush any state or movement that seeks real sovereignty, because sovereign development in the South means that the South produces and consumes more for itself, so their resources and labour are less cheaply available for accumulation in the core.

This is why they are going after Iran. It's the same reason they are going after Venezuela and Cuba... it's the same reason they fantasize at going to war with China... it's the same reason they invaded Libya and Iraq... it's the same reason they assassinated Lumumba and Sankara. It's the same reason they prop up Saudi Arabia and the UAE. It's the same reason they support Israel's genocide.

The narrative of "double standards" presupposes that they have at least some shred of morality. But they do not. For them there is but one standard: the law of capital. And in the interests of this standard they will very gladly spit on every human value.

They will not shrink from genociding civilians by the tens of thousands - peasants and workers and children; they will not flinch at killing half a million people each year with illegal sanctions; they will rape the earth and doom our collective future without a qualm.

It is fruitless to appeal to capital, to imperialism, in moral terms. The objective is to defeat it.

V roce 1970 stávkovali v Irsku bankéři. Trvalo to 6 měsíců. Ekonomika běžela dál celkem beze změny a nikdo nic podstatného nepostrádal. Stávka nejbohatších je výborný nápad! Skvělá vyhlídka na to, že přestanou tenhle stát ovládat, okrádat a vysávat! #taxtherich

Musk has received $38 billion in taxpayer dollars. He literally gets $8 million every single f-ing day from us. All he does is take, take, take -- and when he has a chance to give back, he cuts USAID, resulting in an estimated 14 million deaths. He's a moral monster.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:
