There are very few kinds of labor that don't need some kind of material input to function. That material input comes from other labor that is mostly elsewhere. You can't assemble a transmission without steel and someone needs to make the steel, which necessitates the extraction of iron ore. Even an economy of e-mail jobs still needs computers to function. Even if labor doesn't need direct material inputs (like say a vocalists), the laborer still need food, clothing and shelter.

If the billionaire and high-multimillionaire class is liquidated, that's a lot of resources and more importantly political power that is back in the hands of the proletariat.

What resources and where do they come from? Because ultimately, even if the final product or design is extracted from the US proletariat, the inputs (and increasingly the final product and design) are being extracted from elsewhere. With few exceptions (mainly agriculture, oil/gas lol, and some mining/forestry) everything we do, buy, or design at its base is extracted from elsewhere. Agriculture is its own can of worms since the labor is mostly imported and we need to end oil/gas extraction yesterday to have a habitable planet.

His name is Joseph Robinette Biden

so we'll see what Sheinbaum has to say when the policy moves from theoretical to imminent.

Since the start of the Biden admin there's been a growing chorus among the Republicans who want to invade Mexico.

Most Halloween memories of my youth had snow on the ground. It was 76 on Halloween. Winter weather doesn't start until fucking January now.

Can't get more obvious than the Haitian revolution

As an ultimate goal, I'd agree. But that's not something you can just do without incredible investment in alternate forms of transit, which is not happening. The road the US is going down, cars will not be banned, they'll just be unaffordable and only for the rich. We'll keep the shitty transit and jaywalking laws though.

We will go past 1.5 degrees centigrade. It's just a matter of when. 10 or 20 years from now? And 1.5 was supposed to be the maximum acceptable rise by 2100. What a joke.

Didn't we go over 1.5 C last year?

The question is, have the bourgeoisie any capacity left for self discipline? Once a shooting war starts with a peer power, will they be able to forgo these juicy profits to ensure their own survival? Their response to the climate crisis says no, but that's still a rather abstract problem to most people. The COVID response also say no. Will the fear of dying in a Chinese prison camp finally do it?

That's because there is . It's been like a fire hose since that bill passed.

Wow, look at all those AfD mentions it-is-happening-again

 

Wild that Elon Musk may have prevented a nuclear strike. Not really sure what to make of this since I don't trust anything he says.
