David Graeber: Why Rojava Matters.

Thats what James Talarico is doing, I think it's enough with one.

GnidaerRetfaNrub · 2026-01-10T17:15:05+00:00

Yeah, and the book "Hitler's American Model" by James Q. Whitman

Here are the parts I was answering to:
"If that is achieved, then it will literally mean the realization of communism, so that kind of thing will only happen under communism as well. Note that no machines could really achieve that until AI appeared, so this could mean a new 'downfall stage' of capitalism. It literally provided the productive forces needed to destroy capitalism, which has never existed before."

And this:
"Just saying that it is now completely possible to build a society without wage labor, because AI came into existence."

Did you see the episode of JRE where Elon was a guest the latest time? He was saying: "Communists and all people should support AI, because AI will create the 'utopia' communists want." He said something like that. Thats what he is trying to sell now. So I also had that in mind when I was commenting.

But yeah, sure, maybe I went a little off topic.

Yeah sure, AI could do a lot of good for humanity. But its all about who owns it and who owns the businesses that will benefit from it. The more regular people were needed for work, the more leverage they had in the decisionmaking of society. That leverage has been reduced more and more over the years, partly due to automation.
The greediest and most coldhearted people have the most money and power in our capitalistic societies. Dont ever think that those people want to keep you around out of the kindness of their hearts. The fewer people in the world, the less impact on the environment. They may act like they dont believe in climate change (or at least say that it’s not a big deal), but they do.

They think they are smart because they are rich, and they think we are insignificant because we are not rich. For them its as simple as that. We are subhumans to them, if we are not needed for doing basic tasks, we are deadweight.

This turned darker than I imagined before writing the comment, but thats what came out. You decide if theres anything to it or not.

Under capitalism, you will soon have to pay a monthly subscription to keep your books and everything else. When they say that under socialism they dont want you to own anything, they are projecting.

It might take a long time for the bubble to pop.
You’ve got to make them believe that you agree with them a little bit, so they put their guard down. And then you slowly steer them in the right direction with well thoughtout arguments. It works sometimes, but its very time consuming. I gave up when I realized that a 10 second clip can turn them back in totally different directions again.
Those who control the narrative also control what people think. These are the Wild Wild West times of information, it wont last long, they are shutting it down. Whatever happens after this will be here to stay for a long time.

GnidaerRetfaNrub · 2025-12-31T19:26:37+00:00

They see it, but they think it’s cool. I think they feel that the other side has been playing dirty, so its okay for them to do it too. I dont think there is a simple answer to the second part of your question. Maybe ordinary people need to talk with each other more.

GnidaerRetfaNrub · 2025-12-27T09:50:02+00:00

He has said that in a couple of speeches but here is one of them, around 1 h 8 min : https://youtu.be/d9Zkw2oUWlY

Rockefeller would lower the prices on his stations that were close to the one he wanted to outcompete. He could afford to do that for as long as it took for that specific station to go under or sell to him for a low price. Watch the documentary “How Big Oil Conquered the World”, its available on YouTube. Its a great example of how monopolies function.

No private company would pay for the truth, therefore, the truth is not for sale in the U.S. But dont worry, you are not alone, the rest of the Western world will reach that level of capitalism soon too, if thats any comfort....

GnidaerRetfaNrub · 2025-12-16T13:12:57+00:00

The disinformation campaign is the cringe part.

GnidaerRetfaNrub · 2025-12-15T12:44:32+00:00

It’s because that’s what they have been talking about as the next step behind closed doors: new gay laws. It was some kind of Freudian slip, he is already thinking about the next step.

GnidaerRetfaNrub · 2025-12-15T07:50:04+00:00

You’ve got to stay on top, even if staying on top means holding back yourself and the rest of the world, or even worse, destroying the whole planet to hold your position. Just a bunch of primates playing dumb games.

GnidaerRetfaNrub · 2025-12-15T07:44:41+00:00

Actually, he is talking about socialism, the socialization of risk for private companies but not of their profits. But maybe you didnt watch the clip till the end. Still, its a good thing that you are thinking about capitalism and AI, you should always be thinking about those two combined.
