the possibly white reddit leftcoms here acting like they know more than angela davis is hilarious.

Her work on prisons is lauded but she failed to apply her own principles consistently with regards to USSR.

do you think davis put pen to paper to write some of the best existing theory out there on prison abolition and then just suddenly forgot all of it when it came to the USSR? i wonder what she thinks about a bunch of redditors basically saying they know her own theory better than herself.

discussion on whether it actually works or not aside, i thought we've kinda agreed that ethically its wrong to treat neurodivergence as a disease to be cured. it's a cool scientific innovation, if only in mice, but i'm hoping that the chinese state and party spend more time deliberating the ethical question of this technology.

for some people it might be that, for others it might just be reactionary conservative beliefs about gender.

AI. even as a communist, i thought that we could just make minor progress in AI research and then overthrow capitalism and have socialist AI which will be awesome. but after seeing the internet polluted with AI-created drivel (that "internet is mostly bots" theory might be true in all honesty...the capitalists would absolutely do something like that to make the internet look more populated because a lot of industries now rely on the internet) and ben shapiro using AI generated fake images to fuel hate against palestine, i want to see AI completely gone. i despise it. if i had the choice to destroy AI and LLMs and all that shit, i would. and i say this as someone in a field that is currently seeing some fledgling AI implementation.

redditors try not to post white supremacist content challenge (impossible)

its just ultras being blinded by idealism. the road to socialism must adhere exactly to their idealistic, squeaky-clean plan and anything less is stalinist authoritarian dictatorship genocide or whatever. material conditions be damned, the path is prescribed to be one way and it must be followed. its a critically poor understanding of dialectical materialism.

or maybe they, deep down, want to see socialism fail across the world. if they didn't, why would they attack AES so ruthlessly? i'm not sure exactly, but these are my two thoughts on why ultras are the way they are.

capitalism is when you use tiny amounts of private investments in order to bolster socialist state industry? i had no idea!

ultras seriously believe that deng just made china into america or something in the 80s

cracking down on the right-wing. seriously. the vast majority of US mass shootings that i can remember are done by violent white supremacists and fascists. the right is dangerous and will always use extreme and horrific violence to achieve their ways. so the leftist answer would be to suppress the activities and organizing of fascists heavily.

her attributing scientific progress solely to capitalist backing is pathetic. the soviet union went from feudalism to sending the first man in space in around 50 years. please tell me more about how capitalism has been efficient in scientific research that isn't related to warfare and cool new killing machines.

"people should not be forcibly sent to work or die in battle by their government"

"you're only helping ruZZia by spreading this propaganda, ukrainian people actually want to have their rights taken away and be sent as cannon fodder!"
