The liberals here will deny it, but the sorority between Soviet and Japanese animation is unbreakable!

The historical dialectic in action! Previously, industry's interests in intellectual property rights was a fetter on the development of human culture (eg. Grand Upright Music, Ltd. v. Warner Bros. Records Inc and Bridgeport Music, Inc. v. Dimension Films, the rulings on samples in music). Now with the advent of big data and "AI" scraping, wide-reaching copyright itself has become an obstacle. Industry has become historically progressive, attacking copyright and proletarianizing the middle class. Artists especially have taken a conservative stance on the subject, lauding copyright out of self-preservation (as seen in all discussion about generated art, as well as the Internet Archive's National Emergency Library period where writers were very happy to risk the existence of the archive for the sake of their intellectual property!).

Of course, it's not an ideal situation. Immiseration is not something to celebrate even if it's strategically useful, and the quality of art will continue to degrade. Just because there is now a contradiction in the interests of the bourgeoisie does not mean it will be resolved in a maximally beneficial manner for us. Instead of a major weakening of intellectual property rights, it's likely that it will be applied ad hoc for quite some time to the benefit of bourgeois interests. And an angry, precarious middle class is not beneficial at all to the communist movement if we cede messaging entirely to the right! No, we must make clear the necessity of the simultaneous abolition of copyright and public funding of the arts! Communists need to be strategic and put forth a real program on this issue instead of apologizing for property rights and defending the current state of cultural production!

The formation of bourgeois nation states is literally a story of liberal democrats et al. building walls to keep people in. But I'm sorry, liberals just do not have long-term memory or the ability to look beyond the surface level (even just that can confuse them!).

I wrote "I'm alive" on a piece of paper and sent it through the photocopier. What happened next will blow your mind...

The tendency of capitalism is to extract as much surplus value as possible, such as through intensification of labor, lengthening of the work day, reducing the number of economically unproductive years... Ideology promoting more babies, more child labor, less disabled people, and less retirees is the result of this system.

Real-time? That's literally not possible unless signed Norwegian and spoken Norwegian have 1:1 correspondence in syntax, which I seriously doubt!

Edit: Oh it's just a dictionary right now, not a translator

Yefremov's inferno is real and it's the forces of nature doing all it can to prevent me from transitioning past tomboymoding (someone just suggested I go back to the haircut I had when I was nonbinary)

"The Hour of the Bull" was born in response to a trend that is spreading in our science fiction (not to mention the foreign science fiction) to consider the future in dark colors of future disasters, failures and surprises ... a number of science fiction as belonging to the other pole of the anti-utopia ... people of the communist era globally suffer from deficiencies hardly less painful than those we - their imperfect ancestors - are suffering ... The two future representational poles meet in this area ignorant of Marxist dialectic study of historical processes and their lack of faith in man.

In preparation for independent work, the girls and boys...

race science????

there were two main anthropological categories: Neanderthaloid with a solid, massively built skeleton, and Cromagnoid, of finder composition and tall stature, more sensitive and mentally unstable. It was the task of the geneticists to select the most ideal characteristics from each group and combine them into a harmoniuous whole

New Molchat Doma dropped lea-w

 

After facing the flak on the job reservation bill, the Karnataka government is now planning to increase the working hours of IT employees to 14 hours a day from the current 10, triggering opposition from IT sector unions. The proposal to amend the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishment Act to facilitate 14-hour working day was presented in a meeting called by the labour department with various stakeholders in the industry. The representatives of the Karnataka State IT/ITeS Employees Union (KITU) have already met with labour minister Santosh Lad and raised their concerns over the move.

The proposed new bill ‘Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments (Amendment) Bill 2024’ attempts to normalise a 14-hour work day. The existing act only allows a maximum of 10 hours work per day including overtime, which has been completely lifted in the current amendment.

IT sector unions have come out in public in protest against the move, calling it 'inhuman’, that will have implications on 2 million workers in the state. "It will facilitate the IT/ITES companies to extend the daily hours of work indefinitely. This amendment will allow the companies to go for a two shift system instead of the currently existing three shift system and one-third of the workforce will be thrown out from their employment. During the meeting, KITU pointed out the studies on the health impact of extended working hours among the IT employees," said Suhas Adiga, general secretary of KITU.

According to a KCCI report, 45 per cent of employees in the IT sector are facing mental health issues such as depression and 55 per cent facing physical health impacts. Increasing working hours will further aggravate this situation. A WHO-ILO study says increased working hours will lead to an estimated 35 per cent higher risk of death by stroke and 17 per cent higher risk of dying from ischemic heart disease, the union said.

absolute surplus value go stonks-up god damn the 21st century sucks
