Late 30s, so optimism was part of my introduction to the internet

Aren't most computer scientists more like technicians or engineers than actual scientists?

The thing I never get with this shit is the KMT in Taiwan is in favor of the one China policy. Shouldn't they pick a different symbol for favoring Taiwan independence?

I'm sure Iran also has a bottleneck, but on ballistic missiles rather than interceptors. So the question is which can resupply faster whether thru domestic manufacturing or imports

Pakistan and Russia have never (to my knowledge) offered to give Iran nukes or extended their nuclear protection to Iran.

Do you have a link to them saying that they would?

Very few people are aware of PSL's presidential campaigns and they got less than 1% of the vote. I don't begrudge them running; I voted for PSL in 2024 and 2020.

However, running a competitive council race in Philly or DC might get more national coverage and serve as a bigger propaganda platform than a presidential run.

What if that presidential run doubles the size of your revolutionary party?

If PSL's 2024 presidential run did this, I'd be impressed and have to reconsider what I wrote above. But to my knowledge, PSL doesn't publish its membership numbers and hasn't claimed to have doubled in size due to their 2024 presidential campaign.

Running for council in big to medium sized cities seems like a good strategy to me. It's not hyper local like some town of 20k people, but it's not a quixotic presidential run.

NYC DSA, for all its faults, is propagandizing with the Zorhan mayoral run.

I haven't finished it yet, but I can't remember the last time I've seen a CGTN video arguing an explicitly ideological position.

We know the heads of Marxism are usually Marx, Engels and Lenin, often plus Stalin and Mao.

But who would be the five heads of revolutionary liberalism (before it became a totally bankrupt, anti-emancipatory, status quo project)?

My suggestion: John Locke, Thomas Paine, Robespierre, Toussaint, & Simon Bolivar

Also considered: Oliver Cromwell and Garibaldi

 

Not sure what to make of this

 

Brilliant move both not attending Netanyahu's speech and issuing this statement both-sides

 

I like Draper's 1967 essay Who’s going to be the lesser-evil in 1968? but I think its dated references can be alienating to some people (even though the datedness of it kinda reinforces its argument).
