The historical dialectic in action! Previously, industry’s interests in intellectual property rights was a fetter on the development of human culture (eg. Grand Upright Music, Ltd. v. Warner Bros. Records Inc and Bridgeport Music, Inc. v. Dimension Films, the rulings on samples in music). Now with the advent of big data and “AI” scraping, wide-reaching copyright itself has become an obstacle. Industry has become historically progressive, attacking copyright and proletarianizing the middle class. Artists especially have taken a conservative stance on the subject, lauding copyright out of self-preservation (as seen in all discussion about generated art, as well as the Internet Archive’s National Emergency Library period where writers were very happy to risk the existence of the archive for the sake of their intellectual property!).

Of course, it’s not an ideal situation. Immiseration is not something to celebrate even if it’s strategically useful, and the quality of art will continue to degrade. Just because there is now a contradiction in the interests of the bourgeoisie does not mean it will be resolved in a maximally beneficial manner for us. Instead of a major weakening of intellectual property rights, it’s likely that it will be applied ad hoc for quite some time to the benefit of bourgeois interests. And an angry, precarious middle class is not beneficial at all to the communist movement if we cede messaging entirely to the right! No, we must make clear the necessity of the simultaneous abolition of copyright and public funding of the arts! Communists need to be strategic and put forth a real program on this issue instead of apologizing for property rights and defending the current state of cultural production!

The formation of bourgeois nation states is literally a story of liberal democrats et al. building walls to keep people in. But I’m sorry, liberals just do not have long-term memory or the ability to look beyond the surface level (even just that can confuse them!).

I wrote “I’m alive” on a piece of paper and sent it through the photocopier. What happened next will blow your mind…

Learning about the dairy lobby. We MUST eviscerate the farmer class by force.

Very interesting!

The tendency of capitalism is to extract as much surplus value as possible, such as through intensification of labor, lengthening of the work day, reducing the number of economically unproductive years… Ideology promoting more babies, more child labor, less disabled people, and less retirees is the result of this system.

Real-time? That’s literally not possible unless signed Norwegian and spoken Norwegian have 1:1 correspondence in syntax, which I seriously doubt!

Edit: Oh it’s just a dictionary right now, not a translator

“The Hour of the Bull” was born in response to a trend that is spreading in our science fiction (not to mention the foreign science fiction) to consider the future in dark colors of future disasters, failures and surprises … a number of science fiction as belonging to the other pole of the anti-utopia … people of the communist era globally suffer from deficiencies hardly less painful than those we - their imperfect ancestors - are suffering … The two future representational poles meet in this area ignorant of Marxist dialectic study of historical processes and their lack of faith in man.

In preparation for independent work, the girls and boys…

“Star Trek is communist.” No, we already have communist Star Trek. It’s called Yefremov’s Great Circle series. And it also has bad politics, like gender and eugenics.

Critical support to AI companies!

Found a Lassallean meme on my phone from years ago… Yikes

Is it a pine tree monoculture scheme? Is this two of the worst people fighting?

If you want to be gender neutral, use they/them. If you insist this causes ambiguity once every fifty pages, use gender-neutral she/her. If you actually care about removal of (Very rare! You can usually reword your sentences!) ambiguity and gender neutrality, use two sets of neopronouns!

It was never true, it was just male chauvinism accepted by a male chauvinist academia.

I bet it’s good tbh

One time I had a friend over and we ate japanese curry and did my estrogen shot while watching the gack mix and narration

People can be corporations too though!

Corporations are people so rule by companies is just populism. Truth nuke

Oh, okay. Then in that case you’ll also like Mos Burger’s yakiniku burger in Japan that uses rice instead of buns.
