The man has accepted his fate. The pigeon has chosen him, now he has to live with her/him as long as she/he lives. There is nothing you can do about it.

My pigeon also flew to me a few years ago and has lived with me ever since. You too can be one of the people chosen by a pigeon.

I agree. I also observed that liberals will cite anything and everything to make their anti-communism valid. Starting with low level bullshit like, that Marx said he is not a marxist (Marxism debunked, you see), Luxemburg saying she doesnt like how the october revolution happened (Lenin debunked!), Trotsky disagreeing with the Soviet Union the way it wents (Soviet Union debunked) and so on. Also dont forget: Debunking Trotsky because of Kronstadt and Luxemburg is bad, because Thälmann wrote so. Sino-Soviet Split: China and Soviet Union debunked again.

Looking into the history of marxism, it is quite easy to find a ton of writings, letters and discussions. But, as an example, looking into the collected works of Lenin and making notes where Lenin disagreed with someone, is not how history as a science works. Taking Luxemburg and Lenin: She had critique, yes, but she supported the october revolution and wrote important books for marxist movement. But the most time you'll hear how they cherrypick something and ignore the rest.

This sounds more like hucksters pretending to be Marxists and trying to oversell books. I'm really not a fan of books that are available for free on the internet being sold way too high. If they are translations, no problem. But offering "What is to be done" for 30€, as an example, would be absolutely usurious.

Do you remember the name of their newspaper? Selling books from Trotsky and anarchist stuff is weird. Thats a contradiction and shows the theoretical confusion of that group

Seems to be a german thing. I guess in english "White Trash" is kind of comparable. But Prolet has its pejorative meaning beyond skin colour.

It is definitely beeing used to degrade the working class. The german wikipedia article describes it well.

Since May, according to Microsoft, Chinese hackers have been secretly accessing data from the State Department and Commerce Department, among other targets including Western European entities.

Shut the fuck up. Its not Chinas fault, that Microsoft miserably failed. Whoever of the whatever-department decided to put their stuff in to the microsoft cloud was an idiot. How the fuck could this happen at the first place. This remindes of Solardwinds, when their password "solarwinds123" (What a secure password!) has been spotted on their Github repo.

MSA (consumer) keys and Azure AD (enterprise) keys are issued and managed from separate systems and should only be valid for their respective systems. The actor exploited a token validation issue to impersonate Azure AD users and gain access to enterprise mail.

They had one fucking job. But no no, its not their fault, its China! Dont look at us, our cloud products are still great. And please dont forget to put 20 layers of snake oil on your computer

The question is whether outsourcing or insourcing is good/bad for the working class under the conditions of capitalism.

Outsourcing can be seen as a division of labor, which in the meantime also takes place internationally. This is not a bad thing but in principle a good thing, only the capitalists are interested in saving personnel costs. This is equivalent to an increased surplus value. Under socialist conditions, the international division of labor leads to a much higher specialization of industries in the respective regions of the world. With the right to work and that everyone should work who can work, it does not have the problems that arise in capitalism.

In capitalism this leads to several conflicts.

  1. the bourgeois principle of nation states stands in the way of the development of productive forces. Through imperialist action, for example, attempts are made to prevent the development of other industries (a good example is the trade war of the USA against China).
  2. outsourcing of production is also done at the expense of the local population. People who have done the job for a long time become unemployed.
  3. outsourcing is not only at the expense of the working class, but also at the expense of the environment. Especially if the country to which the outsourcing takes place has poor environmental protection.

This then also affects trade unions, whose role does not go beyond trade unionism anyway, takes on a national role and then also becomes reactionary. The German union IG Metal railed at the time against the "Chinese steel" and later came the punitive tariffs in the EU on certain types of steel from China and Russia. IG Metal liked that, but it was not enough and would like more. The EU safeguards, which is the name of these tariffs, include among others steel products from Turkey, USA and Indonesia.

In the case of outsourcing steel production, the working class of the European countries together with the US, Russian, Turkish, etc. States must stand together and united. Prevent plant closures, strike, organize beyond trade unionism. The question of whether to insource or outsource must not be thought of nationally, but must be linked to the struggle for a socialist international revolution.

For more on the subject, see Lenin's "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism" and also highly recommend Rosa Luxemburg's "Reform or Revolution".

The topic is very extensive and I can only touch on it very roughly, so I can only encourage you to read the works I mentioned. If Lenin is too difficult for you, try the work of Luxemburg. It is very easy to read and understand.

They are turning fediverse into a echo-chamber thing

I will still keep updating. This thing is fucking huge. Most stuff is on german. Found some english und french books. Good for me, I speak german. Not only that, it has books straight from the GDR and also great historic books about the French Revolution and almost everything you can imagine. This is a treasure for every marxist. Many things arent even on Z-Library.
