Marxist-communism as science fiction

 Good science fiction helps create the future by fleshing out likely technologies and occurrences to come.

Bad science fiction preens, poses and postures as an oracle  - but its predictions fall flat on their face.

Take the immiseration thesis of Karl Marx and his bourgeois, capitalist employer.

They held that most people would get poorer and poorer with eventually having nothing to lose.

Some of their totally deluded followers even had the gall to suggest it was a " Relative ' poverty index their Guru was talking about.  The cults belief could never fail. They could only be failed.

Which explains the alleged defeats their CHOSEN PEOPLE ( working-class ) or MASTER RACE have suffered in the last 100 years.  These dogmatic fanatic followers of Dianectical history also believe a German-financed coup in 1917 Russia was a great victory for them.  Failure is success. War is peace. Freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength!

Its all quite laughable apart from the fact these genocidal, warmongering lunatics actually control large territories. And they could even control the future - through another blatant contradiction and lie called LUXURY COMMUNISM - if we're not careful.  Criminal garbage in - criminal garbage out. 

Cory Doctorow is just one of these Wrong-Uns. Watch your back Jack.

 You knew Comey was an assassin and connived -  OR you ignored him and are culpable.  A capital offence either way, Clarice.  Time to face the music. 

Aldous Huxley offers one of the more detailed sonic descriptions of imagined music in his 1932 novel Brave New World. When Lenina and her boss attend a concert, the music is rendered in a fairly thorough manner, including a “thunder in A flat major,” “a diminuendo,” “five-four rhythms” and “darkened seconds.” Later, when Lenina goes to the cinema with her “savage,” the soundtrack features a voice “now throaty, now from the head, now hollow as a flute, now charged with yearning harmonics.”

More contemporary examples of otherworldly music appear in Arthur C. Clarke’s 1954 novel Childhood’s End, where the alien overlords produce sounds with “complex rhythmical patterns racing up and down through the audible spectrum, to vanish at the upper or lower edge of hearing.” And in Mary Doria Russell’s 1996 novel The Sparrow, the inhabitants of a distant planet are described as having “a voice of heartbreaking power and sweetness, operatic in dimension but so plainly used in hypnotic, graceful chant that the listener hardly notices its gorgeousness except to think of beauty and of truth.”

What goes around comes around

 - EVERY major call to crusade gave rise to pogroms against Jews. According to Augustine …

" ...Judaism, since Christ, is a corruption; indeed, Judas is the image of the Jewish people: their understanding of Scripture is carnal; they bear the guilt for the death of the Savior, for through their fathers they have killed Christ...”

The Crusades by Jonathan Smith

". .. they had also turned to scholars for justification of Christian violence and Gregory Vll had found in Anselm of Lucca, a partisan who, through a careful reading of the Fathers, above all Augustine of Hippo, would build a convincing case for Christian violence as something that could be commanded by God, was at the command of the Church and would, when properly used, be an expression of Christian love... "

Louis Proyect was already thoroughly unpleasant - even before converting to KGB Marxist communism.  For example,  he gossiped incessently and delivered his Uni thesis on fucking Augustine. The red fascist party he joined then allowed him to work on Wall St.  

For Government Sachs.

During the late 300s and early 400s, the Xtian Church went from being persecuted to being a persecutor.  The late empire was a totalitarian state, in some ways an oriental despotism.  

The Empire used violence against the Donatist heretics, and St. Augustine "became the theorist of persecution; his defences later to be those on which all defences of the Inquisition rested. ... He insisted that the use of force in the pursuit of Christian unity, and indeed total religious conformity, was necessary, efficacious, and wholly justified."

Straight to video

Wormsign Usul

 One of the best selling points of a night out at the movies has long been how cheap it was for two hours-plus of entertainment. Not so much when it costs $50 a ticket.

That is how much Regal Cinemas recently charged for opening night seats in the best theaters to see December’s “Dune: Part Three.”

Eye-popping prices for the most in-demand movies on the best screens are becoming increasingly common as the cinema industry copies the audience-segmentation playbooks of airlines and hotels. Theaters are getting people who love movies and have discretionary income to pay substantially more.

Some 17% of film tickets sold last year were for premium-format theaters with bigger screens and better sound, compared with 13% in 2021. They cost an average of $18 nationally, according to research firm EntTelligence, and as much as $30 in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles.

Misanthropes united

 What strikes me is that most critics of “capitalism” (whatever “capitalism” might mean, and regardless of the value of those critiques) are really critics of modernity, understood as the organization of society around technology, formal institutions, and rational criteria.

I teach the economic history of the Soviet Union and socialist China, and all the pathologies (pollution, reliance on fossil fuels, inequality, depersonalization, consumerism, alienation, you name it) that you can find in a poor neighborhood of 2026 Philadelphia appeared in the same way, or even more, in a factory in Leningrad in 1970 or on a collective farm in Jiangsu in 1978.

Critics seem to lack a vocabulary (or, if you prefer, a cognitive framework) for distinguishing “capitalism” from modernity. For example, people everywhere tend to link personal relationships to displays of consumption. There are likely deep evolutionary reasons for this. De Beers did not invent spending a lot of money on a useless engagement ring: it rode a pre-existing disposition into a particular form of consumption. Couples in Leipzig in 1982 were as interested in conspicuous consumption as those in Chicago in 2026. Talking about “Love and the Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism” misses the point completely.

Of course, you can try, as some of the more perceptive Trotskyists did, to argue that the Soviet Union or China were not truly socialist countries, but this is just a lazy application of the “no true Scotsman” fallacy, and, consequently, their complaints failed to gain much traction outside some departments of cultural studies.

But this is not just a matter of poor analytic skills, as bad as those are. More importantly, it means that 99% of the policy proposals activists put on the table to correct the problems of “capitalism” are doomed to fail because they do not understand where the root cause of the phenomena they complain about lies.

I see this at the university. Do you think the corporation you deal with is self-serving and incompetent? Wait until you need to deal with the Graduate School at a private Ivy League university. The incentive problems (asymmetric information, career concerns, lack of timely feedback, pressure toward conformity) that cause dysfunction in the former are even more pronounced in the latter because of the absence of a profit motive, the sharpest disciplinary mechanism.

At a very fundamental level, Marx got modernity wrong . . ."

Kejriwal an anarchist, disrespects courts: Haryana CM Nayab Saini

Most political reformers have some part of the unfree system they wish to abolish Republicans would abolish the monarchy, Secularists would abolish or disestablish the Church, Socialists would (or used to) wish to abolish the apparatus of exploitation; pacifists would abolish the Army. Anarchism is unique in wishing to abolish all. The only true definition of an Anarchist is one who wishes to believes it desirable to abolish all; who believe it possible to abolish all, the sooner the better; and who works to bring such abolition about.

There are many, usually on the left, who think it desirable but impossible, many on the right who think it only too probable but undesirable. Others may be sympathetic to Anarchism as both desirable and possible but refrain from action in its favour. To borrow a phrase from another part of the forest, they may be fellow travellers of Anarchism.

The Police are the cornerstone of the State (though sometimes, in extreme cases, the Government of the day needs to use the armed forces in lieu of, or in addition to the police — in some countries this has led to replacement or control of the Government by the army so long as the officers are tightly in control).

Only Anarchism believes in abolition of the Police . . ."

Iran and Ukraine wars could end on ‘similar timetable’

US President Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday.

Trump said that wars in Iran and Ukraine could end “on a similar timetable,” following their one-and-a-half hour phone conversation.

“Which war would end first? Maybe they’re on a similar timetable,” Trump said.

“I think Ukraine, militarily, they’re defeated,” Trump said, appearing to misspeak when he meant to refer to Iran.

“You wouldn’t know that by reading the fake news, but militarily, maybe look, there are 159 ships – every ship is right now under water, typically, that’s pretty good.

“It’d be hard for them to make a naval comeback now.

“Do you think they’re doing well, where they have no navy, no air force, no anti-aircraft apparatus?”

Trump had previously forecast the Iran war, which the US launched on February 28, to last four to six weeks. The Ukraine war has been underway since 2022, and there is no end in sight.

Earlier in the remarks, Trump said he talked “a little bit about Iran” with Putin, but Thursday’s call was mostly “about Ukraine.”

“I think we’re going to come up with a solution relatively quickly,” he said. ”I hope, I think, we’d like to see a solution that’s good.”

He said that Putin would like to help the US with Iran, and “be involved” with Iran’s enriched uraniam stockpiles.

“He can help us get it,” Trump said.

“I said, before you help me, I want to end your war.

So let us quickly recap the foulness of Shamir's political views. As I noted last week, he has called the Auschwitz concentration camp "an internment facility, attended by the Red Cross (as opposed to the US internment centre in Guantanamo)," not a place of extermination. He told a Swedish journalist (and fellow Holocaust denier) that "it's every Muslim and Christian's duty to deny the Holocaust." The Jews, he says, are a "virus in human form" and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is real.

But wait, there's more!

ASSASSIN at WORK -  " . . . the mouse, in particular, as a “cultural artifact of ideological significance.” By making our physical interactions with these objects visible, he shows that our bonds to them are both “intimate and complicit.” Not only do we “tap, rub, and caress their glass faces to do and make things,” but we angle them and their lenses to look back at us, so we can livestream and take photographs and unlock them (as well as helping to train their facial recognition programs). That’s not all: “We ask them questions or make requests through their voice-activated virtual assistants. And when they beep, chime, vibrate, or illuminate, we reflexively pick them up and hold them close.” 

Throughout, Monteiro reminds us of the uncanny ubiquity of these objects in our daily lives. “Smartphones, smartwatches, and the like have accompanied us almost everywhere only for the last twenty years,” he writes, “yet it has become difficult to imagine how life was before.”

Wage-slave to Erman und Engels

 The rise of racial slavery in the New World was one of the most significant developments in modern history, shaping the economy, society, politics and culture of at least four continents over the course of centuries. 

Letter from capitalists flunky, Karl Marx  - "As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. The only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery. I do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; I mean direct slavery, the slavery of the Blacks in Surinam, in Brazil, in the southern regions of North America.

Direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc.

 Without slavery there would be no cotton, without cotton there would be no modern industry. 

It is slavery which has given value to the colonies, it is the colonies which have created world trade, and world trade is the necessary condition for large-scale machine industry. Consequently, prior to the slave trade, the colonies sent very few products to the Old World, and did not noticeably change the face of the world. 

Slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance. Without slavery, North America, the most progressive nation, would he transformed into a patriarchal country. Only wipe North America off the map and you will get anarchy, the complete decay of trade and modern civilisation. But to do away with slavery would be to wipe America off the map. . ."

THE MANCHESTER BOURGEOIS IS PROLETARIAN FOR THE BOURGEOIS

Goerred by Boers

 Naturally, the common people don't want war ... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.

By the way

 His later years had two unexpected triumphs: He published Kerouac’s On the Road (1957) and Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1962). The story of these two countercultural classics creates the great digression and longest chapter in Howard’s biography in which Cowley is just a supporting character. The change of focus would be annoying if the chapter weren’t so entertaining, especially in Kerouac’s case. Howard knows every detail of On the Road’s slow and weird path to the best-seller list and enduring success as the signature novel of the Beat movement. 

FROM

The Last of the Lost Generation | Portico

Cowley died in 1989 at the age of ninety. By then, he had received nearly every honor to which a literary critic might aspire, including the presidency of the National Institute of Arts and Letters. He had outlived his major contemporaries. Fitzgerald had died at forty-four, Hemingway at sixty-one, Faulkner at sixty-four, Cummings at sixty-seven. (Hart Crane had killed himself at thirty-two.) Cowley published eight new books after reaching seventy, most notably –And I Worked at the Writer’s Trade (1978). He could never fully understand his political mistakes, even after writing a book about the period, The Dream of the Golden Mountains (1980), but his accomplishments overshadowed his blunders. Fitzgerald said there were “no second acts in American lives,” but Cowley managed three—adventurous young writer, duped idealist, and grand old man of American letters. It was characteristically nice of him to give us a happy ending.
