Ahora la “autodeterminación de los pueblos” es la autodeterminación del dictador que oprime a su pueblo

[Eric Weinstein @ericweinstein]

Those of us bitterly opposed to communism fall into two different groups.

A) Those who argue that it must be abandoned because it has show us that it doesn’t work.

B) Those of us that are so bitterly opposed to collectivism applied to dissenting individuals that we are relieved that it *cannot* work. A happy accident. Those who don’t care if it *could* be made to work: we’d continue to fight it. Working or not working is irrelevant. It’s just bad. Period. The end.

If Communism could actually be shown to deliver stable high levels of growth and innovation, broadly distributed, with low inequality,
I believe I would still fight it to my dying breath.

My opposition to communism has little to nothing to do with the fact that it doesn’t work as an economic system. So, it’s merely a relief that it doesn’t work. A convenience for its opposition.

Communism and collectivism are intrinsically soul killing for people who are hyper-individualistic . So let’s stop hiding behind the fact that they don’t work as economic or governance systems.

Some of us who aren’t the biggest fans of naked capitalism red of tooth and claw, hate communism not because we think capitalism is intrinsically fair. It isn’t. We oppose it because communism hunts the individual.

For us, It’s not communism vs capitalism. That is a businessman’s argument. Instead, it’s communism vs individualism for me. Show me a system that fights harder to let a dissenting individual thrive more than brutal market capitalism (which also barely works), and I am all ears.

Not everything is a market after all.

Imaginen recibir más del 90 % de los votos para que luego un exchavista diga que la oposición no tiene un representante que unifique a la población.

The government can’t provide a discount…

This 30% "discount" is simply being covered by taxpayers. At scale, these moronic policies just hurt real grocery stores and mom-and-pop bodegas who can’t compete with the fake government subsidies.

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany eliminated their government-run grocery stores between 1989-1990.

The Soviet Union eliminated them between 1991-1992.

Vietnam eliminated them in 1986.

Yugoslavia eliminated them in 1991.

China began eliminating them in the late 1970s.

Cuba began eliminating them in 2021.

Every attempt in Western capitalist countries has failed, most recently in Chicago.

But Mamdani has somehow cracked the code.

Socialism is easiest to love from a country where the shelves are already full.

Some folks don’t believe that a “principled AI company” would destroy books after they suck out all the information for their models, even one-of-a-kind books and manuscripts.

Here it is admitted in open court.

Le preguntaron a la socialista Claudia Sheinbaum su opinión sobre la postura de Daniel Ortega de eliminar para siempre las elecciones en Nicaragua y respondió:
"Nosotros siempre respetamos la autodeterminación de los pueblos y todas las formas de democracia".

Universidad Simón Bolívar antes del chavismo y durante

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

Keito no deja de moverse. Ayer volvió a Catia La Mar con su campaña. Hace su parte, no puede sacar mucha basura, pero deja el mensaje: “No es solo recoger desechos, es limpiar para evitar infecciones y enfermedades”. “La reconstrucción es como un maratón: un camino largo”.

¡Con nuestras propias manos! 🇻🇪✊

La transición que está en puerta solo tendrá sentido y éxito si la hacemos JUNTOS. Ante un Estado que nos falló y que paraliza al país con su indolencia, somos los ciudadanos quienes garantizamos nuestro propio amparo y futuro.

El 28J no es solo una fecha en el calendario; es el inicio de un proceso de liberación liderado por ti, por mí y por todo el pueblo. Ya lo demostramos: frente al silencio y el abandono, los venezolanos ponemos las manos, la vida y el pecho. ❤️💪

Que no quede ninguna duda: ¡El destino de Venezuela le pertenece a su gente!

Por eso, nos convocamos a la calle:
📍 ¿Qué haremos? Asambleas ciudadanas en simultáneo en los 335 municipios del país.
📆 Fecha: 28 de julio
🕢 Hora: 10:00 AM

¡Allá nos vemos! La libertad la construimos con nuestras propias manos.

[Orlando Avendaño @OrlvndoA]

La transición solo es posible, real y sostenible si tiene a la gente como columna vertebral.

Es lo que le da legitimidad y viabilidad.

[Luis Carlos 🏴‍☠️ One Piece @LuisCarlos]

Mientras mejor se documente ahora, mientras más evidencias se recojan y resguarden, más posibilidades habrá de que en el futuro se le responda a los negacionistas y revisionistas, que están tratando de manipular el presente para restarse responsabilidades en el desastre.
