it would be criminally negligent to ignore the experience of decades upon decades of planning and say to yourself, “Well, that wasn’t what my vision of socialism is, so I’m going to ignore it.”
So Iain McKay is in cahoots even as Price signals a retreat.
BTW I dont agree planning is kaput. It is actually the market that is the hunted one now. Why we have to exit through Gift Shops.

“Trump said the quiet part loud, the racist part loud, and the stupid part loud,”
KARL Marx, "Revolution in China and in Europe" (May 20, 1853): "It is almost needless to observe that, in the same measure in which opium has obtained the sovereignty over the Chinese, the Emperor and his staff of pedantic mandarins have become dispossessed of their own sovereignty. It would seem as though history had first to make this whole people drunk before it could rouse them out of their hereditary stupidity . . ."
MARX EMPLOYER, FRED Engels, "Persia and China" (June 5,1857): "... China, the rotting semi-civilization of the oldest State in the world . . . In short, instead of moralizing on the horrible atrocities of the Chinese, as the chivalrous English press does, we had better recognize that this is a war pro aris et focis, a popular war for the maintenance of Chinese nationality, with all its overbearing prejudice, stupidity, learned ignorance and pedantic barbarism . . ."
All Marxists quoting approvingly from the Grundisse are endorsing a theory called THE ASIATIC MODE OF PRODUCTION. Similar to Marx SCANDALOUSLY siding with English capitalists in the Opium Wars above.
The gross stupidity never ends with Marxist-Communists.

"It doesn't matter what they call themselves, or how they structure themselves, these groups use all the well-known techniques of thuggery and menace that Nazis have always used against Jewish communities and other groups they have targeted," he said in a statement.
"This announcement is welcome and will send a much-needed message that these groups and their hateful, racist ideology has no place in Australia."

BTW Unlike antitheism, antireligion is also against those religions that do not have deities, such as some sects of Buddhism and Jainism
Significant antireligion was advanced during the Age of Enlightenment, as early as the 17th century. Baron d'Holbach's book Christianity Unveiled, published in 1766, attacked not only Christianity but religion in general as an impediment to the moral advancement of humanity.
WE ARE ALL ALBANIANS NOW
The People's Republic of Albania had an objective for the eventual elimination of all religion in Albania with the goal of creating an atheist nation, which it declared it had achieved in 1967. In 1976, Albania implemented a constitutional ban on religious activity and actively promoted atheism.[16][17] The government nationalized most property of religious institutions and used it for non-religious purposes, such as cultural centers for young people. Religious literature was banned. Many clergy and theists were tried, tortured, and executed.

He had found passion for acting, but not purpose in life.
That changed in the 1980s, Ford said, when he discovered the nonprofit Conservation International. As he continued starring in episodes of “Star Wars,” the “Indiana Jones” series, “Blade Runner” and more, he found his true purpose in activism on behalf of the environment.
“Humanity is a part of nature, not above it,” he continued, making a plea for environmental justice, social justice and protecting indigenous communities. “These communities have long understood that the trees, the mountain, water, soil are not commodities, they are relatives to be cherished.
“We can all play a role by embracing that wisdom in our day-to-day lives, by loving the planet, by honoring nature’s authority, her generosity, the bounty she affords us, the justice of her example,” he said. “Because the world you’re stepping into, the world my generation left you is a real mess.”
“Find a place for yourself,” he continued. “Whatever talent or ambition you have, find some way to put it to work. Build something that didn’t exist yesterday. Stand up for someone who can’t stand up for themselves. Bring people together that weren’t talking before. That’s leadership. That’s what moves the needle.
“Your generation has far more power than you may realize. And if you harness that power, if you find your leadership, your issues, your voice, the world will not be able to ignore you.”
He ended with a few more inspiring final words: “This is your time. Own it. Enjoy every second of it. Because what could be worse than getting to the end of your life and realizing that you haven’t fully lived it. Congratulations. Go change the world.”
A CNN split screen of Trump saying he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation and Vance claiming that Trump didn’t say that? Thank you for your lack of attention to such matters.
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Grand Old Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink.
He pushes for more state control of the economy. loves KGB leaders like Xi Jinping and Kim Wrong Un and wears red a lot whereever he trails toilet paper junk bonds.

" . . .They still don’t have solutions to the problems they are birthing but believe that their mere awareness will serve them well. As long as they are the masters of their choices, and as long as AI development doesn’t just become a competitive race, they can live in peace.
Hassabis’s belief differed from that of billionaire investor and LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman, who had first bet on an upstart called OpenAI in 2015 but later committed a billion-dollar fortune to DeepMind. Hoffman felt that multiple AI labs could separately gun for success, similar to a multiparty democracy in which, Mallaby writes, “this pluralism would be balanced by a shared commitment to bedrock values.” In the years since, Hoffman’s hunch has largely prevailed—but the “bedrock values” have frayed, not just in tech but also in the very democratic systems that inspired the analogy. That tension—between optimism and unease—finds a neat distillation in the words of transhuman theorist Ray Kurzweil, who captures the enduring reaction to superhuman intelligence in three beats: “Wow!, Uh-Oh, and What Other Choice Do We Have but to Move Forward?”

Maybe the World Will Muddle Through Somehow | Los Angeles Review of Books
On June 14, 2013, Facebook reported that the U.S. government had authorized the communication of "about these numbers in aggregate, and as a range." In a press release posted to its web site, the company reported, "For the six months ending December 31, 2012, the total number of user-data requests Facebook received from any and all government entities in the U.S. (including local, state, and federal, and including criminal and national security-related requests) – was between 9,000 and 10,000." The company further reported that the requests impacted "between 18,000 and 19,000" user accounts, a "tiny fraction of one percent" of more than 1.1 billion active user accounts.[123]
That same day, Microsoft reported that for the same period, it received "between 6,000 and 7,000 criminal and national security warrants, subpoenas and orders affecting between 31,000 and 32,000 consumer accounts from U.S. governmental entities (including local, state and federal)" which impacted "a tiny fraction of Microsoft's global customer base."[124]
Google issued a statement criticizing the requirement that data be reported in aggregated form, stating that lumping national security requests with criminal request data would be "a step backwards" from its previous, more detailed practices on its website's transparency report. The company said that it would continue to seek government permission to publish the number and extent of FISA requests.
"If these companies received an order under the FISA amendments act, they are forbidden by law from disclosing having received the order and disclosing any information about the order at all," Mark Rumold, staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told ABC News

Mr Farage said he received the donation from Thailand-based crypto investor Christopher Harborne to pay for his personal security before he announced his candidacy in the 2024 national election.
He said it was not a political donation, but rival political parties in April accused him of breaking rules, which require members of parliament to declare donations received in the year preceding an election within one month of taking office.
Opponents say the funding from an overseas billionaire demonstrates a gulf between the image Mr Farage cultivates as a man of the people willing to take on the establishment, and his dependence on wealthy donors

in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
"Prohibition of child labor." Here it was absolutely essential to state the age limit.
A general prohibition of child labor is incompatible with the existence of large-scale industry and hence an empty, pious wish. Its realization -- if it were possible -- would be reactionary.
If the opium wars dont shock you try this.
Once again, the state mattered: It imposed tariffs to prevent imports from India, whose thriving textiles industry—far more advanced than Britain’s—needed to be suppressed. It monopolized trade routes to and from Africa and the Americas, where slaves produced the cotton that got shipped to Glasgow, and Manchester produced the textiles that got shipped to Africa and the Americas.
Nowhere in Europe, Asia, or Africa could capital owners remake production as quickly or as dramatically as they did on the plantations of the New World. The Americas “unlocked the radical potential of urban capital to transform the countryside,” Marx writes, “and with it, the world economy.”
Cape Verde in 1460. Completely uninhabited and unclaimed, thrust a few hundred miles into the Atlantic, the islands of Cape Verde offered merchants, settlers, and financiers a different kind of distance than the one Engels routinely invokes. With essentially free arable land, isolation from competing social groups, and an absence of political scrutiny they could put enslaved laborers, bought and sold in Africa, to the most punishing forms of work producing sugar and cotton. Cape Verde would be the first of many such capitalist utopias, repeated on São Tomé, in the mining city of Potosí in the Andes, on Barbados, and elsewhere. Wherever land and labor could be stripped of any consideration other than profit and accumulation, capitalists were free to use both without interference from above or below.
Islands and headlands as the tactical pivot. Agriculture ( and mining ) as the strategic pivot. State capitalism as their prize. Marx and Engels agreed.

All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned.

Camus's first publication was a play called Révolte dans les Asturies (Revolt in the Asturias), written with three friends in May 1936. The subject was the 1934 revolt by Spanish miners that was brutally suppressed by the Spanish government, resulting in 1,500 to 2,000 deaths. In May 1937 he wrote his first book, L'Envers et l'Endroit (Betwixt and Between, also translated as The Wrong Side and the Right Side). Both were published by Edmond Charlot's small publishing house.[51]
Camus separated his work into three cycles. Each cycle consisted of a novel, an essay, and a play. The first was the cycle of the absurd consisting of L'Étranger, Le Mythe de Sysiphe, and Caligula. The second was the cycle of the revolt which included La Peste (The Plague), L'Homme révolté (The Rebel), and Les Justes (The Just Assassins). The third, the cycle of the love, consisted of Nemesis.
Financed by the money he received with his Nobel Prize, he adapted and directed for the stage Dostoyevsky's novel Demons. The play opened in January 1959 at the Antoine Theatre in Paris and was a critical success.
Camus's heroic "stubborn humanism".[49] William Faulkner wrote his obituary, saying, "When the door shut for him he had already written on this side of it that which every artist who also carries through life with him that one same foreknowledge and hatred of death is hoping to do: I was here."

The singularity could be closer than you think: “In our baseline stylized simulation, an ‘automation shock’ involving full automation of software R&D and just 5% automation across the rest of the economy causes the singularity to arrive in roughly six years,” they write. “Empirically the recent growth rates of productivity in software and hardware have been so extraordinarily fast, and so it is also plausible that the transition to a new balanced growth path or hyperbolic acceleration happens extremely quickly.”

Under the influence of the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Hegel, nationalist idealists asserted that a “world mind” (from the German Weltgeist) invisibly controlled the course of history, culminating in the emergence of nation-states (especially in Europe). In asserting this, they were only articulating an idea that comes naturally to hyperactive agency detectors like us.
Narrative historians, like other storytellers, will never want for an audience.
But absolute idealism went out of fashion in philosophy, and 20th-century international jurisprudence rejected “collective responsibility” just in time to try individual Nazis at Nuremberg. Still, the personification of the nation, the people, the race, the culture has persisted, thanks largely to demagogues.

The Silicon Valley elites funding the New Right believe it is much more difficult to be cynically correct than idealistically wrong. This is central to the worldview of figures such as Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen. They believe it is their lot in life to possess superior judgement that enables them to pierce through conventional thought. In a few domains — most notably, venture capital and tech entrepreneurship — this can bring immense rewards. When it comes to politics, however, society tends to punish those who attempt to disabuse the masses of their false idealism. The tech billionaires therefore despise pious “liberal elites” who want to enjoy the fruits of civilization while condemning all of the dirty work required to make society function. These out-of-touch idealists, they say, want prosperity without inequality, safety without policing, excellence without rigor, and progress without disruption. This poses a dilemma: Suffer for speaking unpopular truths or allow society to continue deluding itself with bad ideas?
