My gf and I have a joke where we come up with absurd thesis titles with incomprehensible jargon based on random stuff around us.

The Faba Antinomy: The Ursification of the Digital Left Hegemony and the Paradigm of the New Hexagon

I gotta be honest, all the fucking bureaucrats who just give into whatever the DOGE fascists want should be treated like collaborators in their crimes. If someone is like "this could lead to a nuclear armageddon but I gotta protect my job" they deserve to be lined up on a wall just as much as the person they're folding to.

"Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement"

-Guy who actually led the first successful communist revolution

There are plenty of people who misread Marx, either willingfully or not, and become opportunists. Almost nobody truly understands the methods, requirements, and goals of Marxism without reading him though.

Around a quarter of UAW members work in higher education, mostly as graduate workers/PhD students. A lot of these efforts are led by student activists who are usually some kind of radical. Where I live an ongoing campaign has deep ties to the CPUSA and basically revitalized their chapter here. I'm assuming that's generally the case though idk if the CP is as deeply rooted in all the campaigns as the one I'm familiar with because they're very quiet about it.

Also an openly Trotskyist WSWS candidate ran in the first round of their election fof their president and got like 5% of the vote.

What's funny is that UAW has lots of communists (and even worse, Communists) in it and probably one of the most storied histories of radical labor organizing in the US. The union is just dominated by a reactionary old guard and is thoroughly undemocratic and corrupt. Shawn Fain was effectively the compromise candidate imposed on them by the DoL and was only elected by a tiny portion of the membership.

UAW is technically an international union with members in Canada lol. Way to go Shawn, just throw them under the bus.

I like PSL. They're probably the best organization in the US right now. They really do not understand the American labor movement though. This is by no means exclusive to them. Basically no organization has a good understanding of the unions. Vaguely posting that the unions should take "bold action" is indicative of how little a grasp they actually have on the labor movement though.

The US labor movement has been dominated by antidemocratic, anticommunist, bureaucratic, class collaborating social-fascists for decades now. They have dug their own graves and now as their heads are being lowered onto the chopping blocks by the executioners of the Trump regime they don't even flail about because they've forgotten how to. Most can't get their members to take action against their employers. They've stopped organizing in right to work states because they can't even get their members to pay dues. They bleed members every year while crooked union officers make off with ten times the salaries of their members. They can only funnel money and maybe some labor-hours into the campaigns of Democrats who betray them time and time again to the repeated surprise of the unions. They will not do anything to resist (except maybe some milquetoast lawsuits) and they will actively oppose their members taking any serious action to fight back.

This is not to say that the American workers cannot or should not be organized into fighting unions, but the vast majority of the existing unions will not lead that struggle or follow the vanguard parties into it. I think it's high time the left in this country recall and recreate the history and success of the CIO instead of hoping the unions figure it out for us.

Every analysis of war between NATO and Russia and/or China will fundamentally result in a NATO loss because those countries would not be the ones trying to conquer people on the other side of the planet.

The lowest price on the shelf where I work is $5 for a dozen. There are none of those though.

There are $6 and $8 dozens of the store brand. I think they're organic. The highest cost dozen is like $14 I think but they're the super organic bougie ones.

The store has been receiving less then a quarter of the eggs getting ordered too so the shelves get wiped out fast.

I did think it looked pretty but otherwise it sucked.

On top of that product is sometimes insured against theft/loss and iirc it's a tax write off too.
