We've had a major Russian breakthrough in the 2014 line near New York

A glimpse into the good timeline

nowhere in my comment says "don't read Marx". It is rude for anyone on hexbear to assume that a fellow hexbear user would be saying "don't read Marx".

Yeah, that is not what I said at all. I just said your comment could be interpreted as that by a random person reading. In fact, I assumed you are not saying that, which is why I took the time to add that at the end.

I think it's toxic for people to interpret comments as if they have malice

Which is exactly what you're doing right now

Kind of a side note, but I think it's important to point out that while they didn't write about intellectual property and automation, Marx clearly defined the basis from which they came to develop, and that is essential to understanding both.

Laws are a manifestation of property relations, not the other way around. Intellectual property is a specific manifestation of the general private property that dictates capitalism. The phenomenon of music as commodity wasn't as developed then, but the analysis of private property in general, which then dictates the specific forms of property, is all there.

Regarding automation, Capital Vol. 1 deals with the atomization of the work process leading into increasingly simplistic and specific actions, which lead to the creation of increasingly specific tools as we get to understand the processes better through practice and science. While this isn't specifically about automation, it defines the process through which human development managed to substitute physical labor for machine labor over time. Machines were a specific form of it, automation is another, and AI might be a new one (that is particularly applicable to creative labor/commodity production).

I'm only pointing this out because your comment may read like "don't bother reading Marx to understand these phenomena" for some

Reminder for Americans:

It shouldn't even be needed to point it out, but read Lenin and the documents of the 3rd international , get the fuck out there, organize and agitate. Talk to people about Marxism (covertly if you have to, that's why you must study and have the ideas clear in your head), get them to organize too. Go to events, call friends to join, take the microphone, get other people on the microphone too.

Don't let this opportunity fizzle out, you libs

Oh boy

Heart pounding as I reload Hexbear and check how many new comments there are in the news mega

If you're in the US, talk to other comrades and figure out how you can make sure these words are heard

Run, rabbit, run!

Dig that hole, forget the sun

Kinda shocked tbh. Didn't expect him to dive so deep into federation lore, conclude that they won't escalate because "the hexagonal tankies are claiming for it", then shout-out beehaw

> Walks 2 steps into border

> Everyone gets captured

Yeah, the ground invasion is gonna go swimmingly
