A kibbutz is an intentional community. The original kibbutz were intended to be a mixture of socialism and zionism, a distinctly jewish agricultural community. Today, they are still intentional zionist communities and lack socialist characteristics, but as we have seen from the documented building of these in lands that are intended to be transferred to palastinian authority, serve as a hardened border to contain Palastians.

This is a consequence I think of the usage of the word 'state', where people cannot see past the state-conflict label which is usually desrcibed as imperialism (because its capitalists using the state to extract commodities from other states). People are misinformed and under educated.

The challenge with 'socialism in one country' as a descriptive is that to me it feels like a myopic lens if used to then describe the international class conflict. As state conflicts throughout history (ignoring things like peasant republic, theocracy, and so on) are usually the learned exploitation of capitalist colonialism, nationalism or imperialism. As uneducated people project the other class/state-conflicts with that 'understanding' they then mischaracter the PRC as "state capitalism" or the USSR as "socialist imperialism".

Correct! They want to replace your labor with a machine :)

Why would they? Their capital is being spent to build an autonomous company, where the entire supply chain is expected to be orchestrated by world models and executed by autonomous robotics in the warehouses.

They are trying to eliminate the need of human-labor time.

I am sorry to hear about the shrapnel!

It would be worth joining a political org anyway, maybe you connect with someone who can introduce you to someone else...

I've been struggling with work, with an uninspired boss and an unguided boss's boss. I had so much energy when I started this role but I question myself and what I can achieve here. It occupies so much of my time and energy and this is all happening when I know we are running towards climate disasters with no action, and with people 'enjoying' 30c weather at the end of September. Don't look up.

And then we have the utterly untrustworthy US Americans that openly pillaging everything and ""centrist"" governments debating if they can form a fascist government with the far right all over europe.

Fight the fight comrades, we have much to do.

I read about a "crisis" in China, with 'house prices falling down' in a country with '80% home ownership'.

Comrade, I fail to see the problem.

Is there a PVDA equivalent in NL?

They know they have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, they have been warned that they would be committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, and still continue to conduct war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The greatest joke of it all is to do this naked in front of the UNGA. The greatest irony is without the typical US press, and will instead be brought to you LIVE on Trump TV.

USA is the pariah rouge state that they demonize in others. USA, and those that support it, cannot be trusted.

If you go to some old churches and cathedrals in europe and you'll see Jesus was depicted very much like he was a man born in Nazareth.
