A veces tengo la sensación de que todas estas 'batallas culturales' o 'ideológicas' con que invaden nuestra cotidianidad y en las cuales se supone que "discutamos" imbecilidades y barbaridades cada vez más grotescas y bizarras son sólo otro mecanismo de distracción y control social mediante el cual se evita que discutamos la explotación laboral y opresión política que sobre la inmensa mayoría trabajadora y explotada ejerce una ínfima minoría parasitaria y explotadora...

Para argentinos:Huelga de guionistas y actores en Estados Unidos.Huelga de obreros ferroviarios en Reino Unido.[0]
Huelga de obreros automotrices en Estados Unidos.[1]
Porque 'en un país serio' la clase obrera interviene y va a la huelga por sus intereses.[2]
Milei propone tomar el ejemplo de Estados Unidos, de modo que LLA deberá llamar a los trabajadores de Argentina a sublevarse.
Supongo que la burocracia sindical peronista estará convocando asambleas de bases en todos los gremios para preparar la huelga, en especial ahora que sabemos cómo la inflación se come los salarios semana a semana...

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/14/business/uaw-strike-plan.htmlTonight, for the first time in our history, we will strike all three of the Big Three at once. We are using a new strategy, the “stand up” strike. We will call on select facilities, locals or units to stand up and go on strike. This strategy will keep the companies guessing. It will give our national negotiators maximum leverage and flexibility in bargaining. And if we need to go all out, we will. This is our generation’s defining moment. The money is there. The cause is righteous. The world is watching. And the U.A.W. is ready to stand up. This is our defining moment. Thank you.

We should abandon the "climate change" scam and start talking about resources depredation and environment destruction. Humanity needs to fix this, not accept "the pain to come". #Capitalism needs to be overcome in order for us to thrive.2023-08-18T21:14:40Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
Curious survey (UK, 07-2021):Surveys show that there is a lot of truth in the cliché of the ‘woke socialist Millennial’. Younger people really do quite consistently express hostility to capitalism, and positive views of socialist alternatives of some sort. For example, around 40 per cent of Millennials claim to have a favourable opinion of socialism and a similar proportion agree with the statement that ‘communism could have worked if it had been better executed’.(...)Young people associate ‘socialism’ predominantly with positive terms, such as ‘workers’, ‘public’, ‘equal’ and ‘fair’. Very few associate it with ‘failure’ and virtually nobody associates it with Venezuela, the erstwhile showcase of ‘21st Century Socialism’. Capitalism, meanwhile, is predominantly associated with terms such as ‘exploitative’, ‘unfair’, ‘the rich’ and ‘corporations’.2023-08-18T00:34:21Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers

«When the state of Israel was established in 1948, it took over 78% of Palestine (much more than the 55% that the UN had originally allocated to the nascent Jewish state). Around three-quarters of the Palestinian population – 750,000 people – became refugees, expelled directly by Zionist militias or fleeing to escape massacres and other violence. (...) The Israeli occupation places millions of civilians under martial law. Displacement and immobility are core features of the regime. The construction of illegal Israeli settlements often entails both, uprooting existing Palestinian communities and curtailing their freedom of movement by seizing land across the territory. (...) Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza face displacement of a different kind. Although Israel withdrew its settlements from the Gaza Strip in 2005, Palestinians there have continued to lose their homes due to ongoing waves of violence. Some 72,000 were displaced during the 2021 air attack on Gaza, as 2,200 homes were destroyed and another 37,000 damaged.»2023-07-01T19:09:12Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
«Se crearon más de un millón de puestos en blanco desde diciembre de 2019, incluyendo los cuentapropistas, las empleadas domésticas, los monotributistas y los registrados en relación de dependencia. No obstante, los datos de salarios del Indec mostraron que los salarios perdieron contra la inflación interanual, por décimo mes consecutivo.»

We are training the AIs so they can pass for humans, and then we found that AIs are unreliable, lie, reproduce bad behaviour...
So unexpected.

Pensions are really deferred wages, deductions from income from work to pay for a decent income when people retire. After decades of work (and exploitation), workers, male and female, should be entitled to stop and enjoy the last decade or so of life without toil without being poverty. Literally, they will have earned it.
(...) ignored is the huge disparity in life expectancy between lower income people retiring and very dependent on state pensions and better-off people with additional company pensions. For example, almost eight years separates the life expectancy of retirees living in exclusive parts of London like Kensington and Chelsea to those living in Glasgow. A 60-year old man in the Scottish city might live a further 19 years. For his London contemporary that rises to 27 years.
(...) the pensions deficit in France is tiny compared with the cost of measures introduced in response to the pandemic (€165bn) and the energy shock (around €100bn), as well as President Macron’s commitments to invest more in nuclear power (€50bn) and defence (€100bn by 2030).
“There are enough resources if they are properly organised and fully used. (...) Does a country want to use its resources so that people can stop work at the age of 60 or 65 and have enough income to live on in reasonable comfort, or not? It can be done.”
(...) decent pensions can be provided by cutting out other calls on government revenues i.e. such as bailing out the banks; increased arms spending; more subsidies for private corporations to invest in fossil fuels; and lower taxes for top earners and corporations etc.
As one French sociologist put it: “For 40 years, successive governments have been asking the French people to accept ‘reforms’ reducing social rights. These have degraded public services in health, education, transport and so on, while eroding purchasing power and worsening working conditions … The French are fed up.

¿Cualquier paritaria por menos de esto no es simplemente robarle el sueldo al laburante?
Si todos los precios suben, incluidos los salarios, la inflación es un fenómeno puramente nominal. Si no, ¿cuál es su función?

En su Elogio de la ociosidad, el filósofo británico Bertrand Russell proponía una jornada laboral de cuatro horas que, en su opinión, los adelantos tecnológicos de 1935 ya hacían posible… Nada, pues, de jornadas laborales extenuantes para, llegada la noche, dejarnos catatónicos delante de la tele o del móvil. Russell proponía un ocio creativo: de lectura, exposiciones y actividad física…
