Pretty sure that people in china will mostly be okay. Even if the us would start nuclear war, i bet china has some anti icbm measures in place nobody knows about. They are so many years ahead in basically everything, this seems like an obvious possibility to prepare for.

I might be wrong here but from the bourgois media i used to consume at the start of the conflict, the propaganda is what pushes people towards this. Its not inherent russophobia or bloodthirst, it is a trained response, same as “leftists” answering with a stream of one word responses like “weegurs!” “gulags!” “holodomor!”

They have zero idea what it means, have read zero history, have invested zero thought. What they have is been blasted over the airwaves with transmissions from the reichspropagandaministry and they salivate when the bell is rung.

Again, that is my personal impression on the ground. No idea if any theory or science disproves it. For me it sounds doable.

How do the comrades from the countries view this? Are there any words from communist parties in the respective places?

Purely from those three countries being capitalist, it doesnt read like the best idea but then i have zero information about reality on the ground.

From the article it reads very complex and without further knowledge, i cant see a definite outcome for this. I bet comrades from the regions have a better understanding of this.

I totally believe this but we are not doing enough to counter it.

Lets set up an anti wikipedia page on prolewiki where we serve these concrete proofs to people and then start spreading this information at large through leftist newspapers. We can make this bleed into rhe mainstream but we need to coordinate.

Thanks for getting back to me! :)

To be fair, the situation in germany is heating up too. There were a lot of protests after saturday, quite big ones too. And the earlies ones were only hammer and sichle flags.

The difference is, now i know that the earliest protests are the ones to go to and are the ones of the communist. The bourgois leftists are always tailist.

This is what praxis and theory teach together. Understanding such mechanics.

Yes, read the russia discussion pages. They have been given direct evidence that they are sharing misinformation and nobody did anything. That was 5 yrs ago.

Wow nice! Lets do this for minetest

Ouch. That one was harsh but i kinda get the same feeling.

i dont really have a full picture of rt. its just blocked in germany and people here are completely insane from state propaganda.

This reads like pure barbarism to me. Enough internet for today.

I have listened to this anticommunist go full on revisionist. I got kinda tipped off by his flirtation with trotskyism but I still wasnt sure if he was going to go there but he absolutely did. I shit on this reactionary rat.

The hilarious part is that rt writes this. In germany, people might punch you in the fact if you cite rt.

Fully agree. I think it is important, same as the recent discussion about cutlure, that we band together to work out these things and create actual scientific socialist perspectives on this instead of letting the reactionary west dictate the discussion. o7

When did I say that i’m superior or it having to do with my genes?

Every person has a different set of skills and features. I for example have very bendy fingers. Do you want to call me a nazi for that too?

I suggest you start treating comrades with more respect.

And humble too! o7

Autistics are hyper-exploited in capitalist societies but I too hear very little about it’s impact in socialist and dem-soc countries, or in the global south in general.

My theory to that is that people in the imperial core face a set of contradictions that autistic people on average cant solve and break down due to it. it is the overt cruelty vs the relative comfort which is ultimately bought with blood. The suicide rate is skyrocketing in the imperialist states, legal and illegal drug use is skyrocketing as imo self medication kicks in to not break down individually.

The tension of demanding our (autistics) hyper-exploitation and us being acutely aware of that could be a factor (such as through diagnoses ascribed as ‘pathological demand avoidance’ or other ‘developmental disorders’).

To this, after 25 years of self-studying psychology on and off, I would theorize that it shows the contradiction that autistic people often cant function in this environment and go the self stigmatizing and agonizing route of getting tons of diagnoses to somehow get taken off some of the burden which otherwise might lead to suicide.

Even apparent efforts to reframe autism in a positive light also positions us as exceptional, gifted, and thus groomable and exploitable. Whereas out of that context, epigentic behaviors as impacted by environment don’t seem to be so significant for accomodations (disability).

To this I want to offer a different perspective. The differences between autistic people are also clear in bourgois society but they are much more nuanced in a marxist perspective. Being gifted (as in having a special talent for e.g. spatial thinking, word association, memory, etc.) is real. People have different capabilities and denying such is ableist and reactionary imo. The difference imo is that bourgois society and psychology uses a binary approach which labels people as gifted or non gitfted, making them two “classes” which makes sense in an oppression perspective but of course it also makes sense in a socialist environment to test and build certain talents. This means, as with AI, being gifted or having certain talents is material reality and letting go of the dogmatism of denying that and not further trying to pull people back in their unique talents imo is the way to go.

Again, I think this would loudly scream for a marxist work on it so that we can have a stronger foundation and can set some things as given and throw out others without having to discuss them over and over. :)

The autism question is currently one of my least favorite as one faces some cruel contradictions alongside it:

• i dont think we have one percent of marxists in the western population, therefore the amount of non bourgois people who can attack this issue minuscule
• autism isnt a huge issue in socialist countries from what i have read so far
• culture war is only appropriate alongside class war and imo has no bearing on its own as it ultimately leads to dysfunctionality and sectarianism

My personal situation does not make the question easier to work on:

• being gifted and having virtually no theory of mind, I cant imagine what autism feels like for people who are not gifted
• being manyfold marginalized, yet privileged in some parts leads to mental health issues for me paired with the bourgois guilt economy

Material circumstances of course dictate that people have different capabilities. Meeting bourgois ableism head on is its own issue entirely.

From those contradictions my answer always is a dialectical materialist work on autism, maybe based on radical psychology as referenced in a prolespod episode of last year which was very good.

If you have additional suggrstions or ideas as how to take on this issue, feel free to voice them. :)

I can also see us being the first ones in the gas chambers again because we dont fall for propaganda as easily due to lacking framing effect and lacking social cohesion.

This is hands down the best perspective I have ever read on the imperial core. THIS is how I understand marxism after like 10 Books or more and praxis. I aspire to become this good at analysis and concise at formulating the results.

damn. that one rips. thank you for the concise perspective, comrade. o7
