The planet continues to warm and create devastating shifts to the ecosystems across the world.

I've been noticing that each year that goes by without a united approach. The seasons of the year get more and more out of tune to the usual range of expectations.

If workers coops are a necessary step in socialism why can't they raise capital with NON VOTING SHARES? Shareholders could buy and sell but not vote on any decisions unlike the workers. that way they can raise money but not have to listen to porkies

of course people might have to move to where the jobs are. this is the case also today. you should keep in mind that with the profit motive out of the picture the length of the working week shrinks drastically, to where we can allow considerable "slack" in the system. we can consciously maintain a socialist reserve army of labour.

Worker's coops isn't necessarily the same thing as market "socialism". If a coop exists within a market of capital and a market of labour then it is limited and determined by those markets and forced to basically self-exploit. By themselves they are definitely not a necessary step to socialism.

On the other hand if there is no such markets, meaning it is combined with central planning that invests not based on profits and employment is absolutely guaranteed, so we are already in a form of socialism, then a coop can actually fully decide what to do and is a step towards communism.

War serves as a very literal method of 'capital DESTRUCTION' by either destroying the MOP (see: levelling of most of central and western-europes industrial centres / forced deindustrialisation of east-germany) of the people who man them (Self explanatory) OR the collapse of the losing powers economy in response to the armistice terms (Collapse of the German and Italian economies in the aftermath of WW1)
>But how much is that true? Will masses really accept war at this age?
Why wouldn't they lmao? The majority of my country wants us to die to protect Taiwan and thinks we should have the americans nuke the chinkos so they dont become to stronk. Many people i talk to are under the outright delusion of our armed forces of less then 100'000 people could beat the PLA.

not sure about that, it does create a lot of antagonisms, because everybody is trying to control their external dependencies.
>Will masses really accept war at this age?
You mean like military conscription, no that would cause revolution the day it's announced. But the US for example has been able to use economic pressure to make poor people sign up for war. The people that fight for a paycheck probably aren't the most enthusiastic fighters, so they won't fight big wars.
>Aren't declining birthrates threats the potential soldier numbers?
Yes but the big imperial bourgeoisie runs transnational operations and might not care about depleting the populations of several countries
>Aren't nuclear-nukes makes everyone afraid?
Yes for governments, individual capitalists however might be more afraid about the stuff like precision drone strikes. Wars might create enough chaos where they could be targeted by commercial rivals.
>any global-war crush the world to irreversible point?
A global war would disrupt the capitalist repression systems long enough for the formation of new soviet block type socialisms. But they wouldn't be like Stalin that only destroyed fascistic capitalism while letting bourgeois democratic capitalism live because WW3 would be viewed as proof that capitalism is irredeemable.

Overall the chances of a big war are lower than in past capitalist crisis, because the risks for the capitalist class are much greater now and the potential gains are smaller.

Was reading retards in /r/Atheism debating “communism”, one of the turds was discussing “freedom” and when the socialist pointed out that freedom from (some) arbitrary laws while still being allowed to starve on the street is fucking meaningless, to which the based and rational redditor argued that actually freedom doesn’t mean a right to a decent quality of life but just the garbage included in America’s warped concept of freedom and literally nothing else

My question is, how do westoid’s cope with such a sociopathic way of approaching the value of human life, freedom, etc.? Freedom for westerner’s is literally immaterial shit and excludes means to actually survive, why are these people like this?

There's also a big difference between people caring on the internet or with words and actually being willing to do something for other human beings. I wouldn't be surprised that all the world over that many people who talk about caring about the plight of other people wouldn't actually help them if it meant inconveniencing themselves. There are people who are true to their word, or many who don't think much of these things but will help others even if they have to suffer themselves though.

To be fair lumpenproletariat can be revolutionary subjects. The BPP and also to and extent Hugo Chavez drew on their masses to do revolutionary work, and arguably through the history of communism most of the work of revolution was actually accomplished through not so proletarian subjects, like peasants or lumpenproletarians. Of course, their relations to production meant they were not always the most optimal, but then again the conditions have now become different, so perhaps it'll happen again that the proletariat proper is not the primary revolutionary base.

Given recent announcements that the Biden administration will take active efforts to censor info on social media, and the not-so-recent precedents set by social media bannings over the last half decade, is it alarmist or reasonable to say that the US ruling class is beginning to resort to authoritarian methods?

Biden Press Sec.: "We've increased disinformation research and tracking… We're flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation." https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1415728046930268160

>legalise … sectioning into a psyche ward

This is nothing new and is arguably the whole reason psychology came into existence in the first place; psychology has a huge amount of its roots in the eugenics movement, arguing for instance that slave runaways were mentally defective. The same is true today, a lot of pathologies, especially anxiety, depression and generalized neuroticism, are unarguably caused by economic circumstance and these same people will approximate a vulgar critique of capitalism when outlining their illness to a shrink.

What is new, I think, is the crackup of centralized ideological state apparatus' because of the internet and the state desperately trying to get a grip on hegemonic ideological discourse hence their broadside at digital platforms especially ones with little to no moderation.

In terms of a lurch toward fascism, I don't see it. The state is more or less as authoritarian as it always has been, they've just adapted their methods alongside the technological and societal changes. The glowies aren't assassinating commies and radical trade unionists because they don't exist in western countries not because they got better after COINTELPRO came to be public knowledge. Furthermore, the most 1984esque authoritarian shit they've pulled for a long time was the mass NSA dragnet surveillance systems the Snowden leaked and all that was put in place long before any concern about an uptick in Antifa and neo-boomer Nazis.

Monopoly capitalism isn't hankering for an open terroristic dictatorship of the bourgeoisies, even Trump's facile nationalism was to strong for them or rather their profitability and power. The petty bourgeoise seemingly are lurching in a fascistic direction comparatively but that's because all small business owners are insane people that are squeezed between monopoly capital (i.e jewish capital) on one hand and any form of organized labour (i.e commies) on the other. The petty bourgeoise can have only pseudo-revolutionary potential because their mode of existence is based on Capitalism and will always be at threat from monopolists and organized labour hence them abstracting those elements for Capitalism proper as Jewish perversion and Communist subversion respectively
