Beru's Communism Omnibus Thread

[Lorizael]

The brain, where all thoughts reside. Unless you want to make the case that thoughts are non-spatiotemporal and that all we see in the brain are the neural correlates of thoughts. But then you need to make a sound argument for how non-spatiotemporal entities can impinge upon a physical brain. This isn't impossible, but... oh, that's not what this thread is about? Oops.

[Lorizael]

Btw, based on your corpus, it sounds like you've got it all worked out what kinds of thoughts people should be having. Maybe consider that for a moment.

Your comment suggests a deep intellectual mind who would benefit from a healthy dose of philosophical and sociological education on the topic. Although the notion of a vanguard constitutes a necessity in the beginning, a constitution and a checks and balance system will ensure the population does not suffer from the same affliction as Russia after the death of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov in 1924 due to a stroke.

What does private property represent in the United States of America? The concept of private property includes the non-productive aspects of the people who manage to procure rent seeking from the population through rental agreements. The definition of rent seeking includes the production of wealth without the providing of a tangible service outside a legal setting. The landowner with multiple buildings does not provide any product beyond the legal notion of access to the property while the individual pays bribery or extortion to the rent seeker. The private property serves no purpose beyond the desire of the individual to induce a terror of progress beyond the primitive concept of brutal and savage destruction among the population over a piece of land or data.
The prominence of the private property issue in the country extends into the ability of the individual to deduce the truth behind the subversive influences of the corporation promotion of private property. The presence of the corporate commodity fetish promotes the damage of the group against the interests of the population through the manipulation of the people into the belief about the supreme concept of the private property of commodity fetishism, but the action as Marx states includes:
You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its nonexistence in the hands of those nine-tenths. You reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose existence is the nonexistence of any property for the immense majority of society (1848, p. 87).
The definition of the private property in the country does not include the complete domination of the population by the interests of the corporate influence in the country. The minor business owners could continue to provide the luxury services the population demands from the government as Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (1919) briefly described in the his discussion of proletarian skilled workers in the Soviets at Work (p. 28) through the regulation of the government sponsorship. The authoritarian formats of socialism further constitute a potential threat to the liberty of the population due to the reintroduction of private property, and the proletarian vanguard will ensure the terrible actions of a dictator do not befall the people until the creation of a better successor to the private property of capitalism appears in the world. The presence of a vanguard ensures the confused masses understand the notions of private property as excluding basic personal property of the individual such as a house, car, clothing, computers, and basic essentials in the United States of America. While the vanguard ensures the population thrives outside the vestiges of the chattel slavery and highway robbers known as rent seekers, the abolition of private property prevents the insidious encroachment of the private business sector on the interests of the population in the country through the analysis of the appropriate methods to handle the situation.
An example of commodity fetishism includes the peculiar attachment of the population to the notion of hand lotion after a worker manufactures the product in a factory. The hand lotion portrays the concept of commodity fetishism where the individual exchanges currencies for the product while the rent seeker simply profits from the mere existence of the individual on the property of the individual. The presence of the term commodity fetishism in Karl Marx’s Capital Volume 1 Chapter 4 (1867)  indicate the ability of a social force to influence the character of the product, and the commodity fetishism associates the riches or use value of a person withe value of the products. The difference suggests the delicate intertwine of the individual with the value of a product, and the action serves as the basis for the modern conception of brand recognition through product marketing and communication studies. Until the population recognizes the careful difference between the terms in the creation of a coherent difference between the social implications of an object and the actual use of an object, the people will never recognize the difference in the creation of a coherent argument against the application of a situation.
The demands of the population against the private property extend into the notion of the commodity fetish in the country through the analysis of the sociological constructs of the term in the country. The presence of the commodity fetishes demonstrates the willful ignorance of the population to the subtle influences of the corporate empire through the manipulation of the ideology about the brand recognition of the population. While the majority of the population believes the concept of an abundance represents a positive benefit in the country, the demonstrable truth resides in the ability of the abundance to reflect the psychological comfort from the primitive fear of emptiness or lack of creation in the country. The presence of the commodity fetish promotes the demand for a bigger or expanded house, the creation of a luxury vehicle, the promotion of an individual inside society, and the ruthless “competition” inside the country. The mystical elements of the action demonstrate the nefarious influence of the corporations in the creation of The Society of the Spectacles by Guy Debord (1967) where the consumer exists in the continual “phantasmagoria” of the buffet from the concept of consumerism (p. 108). The product consumption continues to constitute a dreadful manifestation of oppression in the population because the population begins to equate the presence of private factories as a positive influence in society. Without the necessary influence to recognize the importance of the activity, the people begin to adopt the blind ideology of the corporations to consume the product and to pursue the notion of improved material luxuries as the government and the corporations continue to erode the liberties of the individual. How can a person justify the blatant manipulation of the population in the country through the emplacement of the advertising in the country? The people will not possess the answer because the corporations tend to employ the bourgeois specialists to manipulate the population in a number of subtle through the appeal to the basic stereotypes and assumptions of the population about sexual appeal, safety concerns, and exorbitant actions on digital manipulation. The presence of the obvious action demonstrates the importance of a robust resistance to the corporations and the government in the imperialist world.

Summary: The presence of a proletarian vanguard ensures the population will not suffer the deprivations of dictator through the implementation of a checks and balance system and a constitution to ensure the population does not confront the dreadful reality of a dictatorial conquest. The people also experience the ability to retain the personal property against the notion of private property such as an excessive real business or a multitude of factory owners.

New road brings Xinjiang closer

The Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in far northwestern China has just become a bit closer to the capital, as three sections of a new expressway along risky terrain opened to traffic on Saturday.

The new sections have a combined length of more than 1,200 kilometers. The 930-km Linhe-Baigeda section is in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region; the 134-km Baigeda-Mingshui section is in Gansu province; and the 178-km Mingshui-Hami section is in Xinjiang.

The sections run through the Gobi Desert, which is characterized by drought and other poor natural conditions. The more than 500 km running through desolate and uninhabited areas of Inner Mongolia, which posed a challenge to construction workers.

The Beijing-Xinjiang Expressway, or G7, is one of seven expressways connecting Beijing with other major cities under a national expressway plan.

"The expressway is a new passage ... and the most convenient road to link Beijing with the northwestern region of Inner Mongolia, northern Gansu and Xinjiang, which will enhance communication between northern China's eastern, central and western areas," said Ren Jinxiong, an inspector in the Ministry of Transport's planning division.

The link will also better serve the Belt and Road Initiative and Western Development Plan, improving regional economic and social development along the route, according to a statement from the ministry.

New road brings Xinjiang closer

The 2,768-km G7 has been built across Beijing and five other provincial-level regions－Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Xinjiang. It passes Zhangjiakou, Ulanqab, Hohhot, Baotou, Linhe, Ejin Banner, Hami, Turpan and Urumqi.

Some sections are still under construction, with drivers taking detours in some parts of Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi and Xinjiang, sharing routes with the Beijing-Tibet Expressway and Lianyungang-Khorgos Expressway.

Once the Beijing-Xinjiang Expressway is fully operational, it will cut more than 1,300 km off the journey from Beijing to Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang.

"By 2016, the total length of expressways in China had reached 131,000 km, the most in the world," Ren said.

About 41,000 km of expressways have been open to traffic since 2012, and 98 percent of towns and cities with a population of more than 200,000 have access, he added.

The national expressway network is expected to be completed by the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-20). The ministry will also carry out capacity expansion along some busy national expressway routes, Ren said."

The Chinese government continues to develop the necessary resources for the development of the region into an economically integrated location, and the population continues to prosper under the guidance of the wise comrades. When did the Americans previously expand the interstate system by 1300 km? The system connects the remote regions of China into an integrated system of infrastructure, and the system allows the Chinese to better protect and to preserve the cultural integrity of the autonomous regions through the necessary economic advancement of the population.

The recent headlines of the RT Documentary film on North Korea states the population remains the happiest people on the planet due to the abundance of the material prospects providing the citizens with the necessary resources to thrive under the imperialist aggression of the American sanctions. The faithful and loving leader Kim-Jung-un continues to provide the country with the necessary resources and the ability of the country to provide the population with the opportunities to advance in the society on the basis of the individual's achievements in the production of the necessary materials inside the military bases for the current regime through the glorious labor forces. The documentary illustrates the relative plenitude of materials inside the society in stark contrast with the perceived notions from the Americans about the relative barren landscape of the region. The presence of the adaptive changes demonstrates the relative inability of the American media to produce the necessary changes in the perspective of the American public towards the dramatic improvement since the dark recession in North Korea after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990's.

Lori Harfenist represents an intrepid figure on the RT America program lineup because she continues to comment on the dismal state of the American culture and society through her experience in the field, and the skills provided by her Communication Studies degree from the New York State University system (Falcone). The presence of the scintillating information demonstrates her ability to splice into the insipid lies of the government and corporations and through the corporate and governmental hive minds. The presence of her programs remains the product of an extended career in the independent affiliate traditions on the early years of the internet, and the program avoids the obnoxious censors of corporate pre-interviews and other material in the corporate realm. The presence of her insightful commentary suggests the importance of the task in the ability of the population to surmount the challenges of the corporate culture through the interrogation of the official narrative and the interrogation of the important activities in the current world due to the blatant distortions in the current media environment. Because the majority of the population fails to identify the important resources in the country, the people need to realize the importance of an unbiased source of news on the internet as seen in the activities of Lori Harfenist. The current channel covers a variety of news topics and the ability of the news to distort the activities from the perspective of the American public demonstrates the relative importance of the channel in the preservation of the public from the damaging rhetoric of the country. An example of her insightful material appears in the video below the current comment:

The American media continues to escalate the tendency of the American Media to conceal the truth from the condemnations of numerous organizations on the invasion of Libya by the United States of America in 2011 because the action continues to induce a number of political instabilities and economic repercussions in the region. The current state continues to experience a number of disasters as the various militant groups fight for control of the government after the deposition of Former Prime Minister Muammar Gaddafi despite the legal election of the individual from the population. What type of morality does the action represent in the context of the American public beyond the tendency of the Americans to interfere in the foreign politics of a nation despite the repeated allegations of the "Russian Interference" inside the American government? The presence of the action represents a clear violation of the international Geneva conventions on the acts of aggression against a foreign nation, and the population represents a significant contribution towards the issue inside the current country where the population resides in a luxurious state. The people in Libya continue to suffer the reintroduction of slavery due to the collapse of the government, the continual violence of the warring factions, and the lack of the foreign assistance to relieve the continual pressure from the actions of the militant groups. The presence of the militant groups appears to represent the current version of American "freedom" when the country refuses to cooperate with the dictates of the country, and the militant groups represent the ideal conditions for the American population against an "enemy" state. The label of an enemy state represents a vile concept because the Gaddafi regime decided to acquiesce to a few demands from the American demands. The current activities represent a recent example of the erroneous actions among the actions of a situation despite the outrage of the people among the concerns in a foreign nation as seen in Vietnam, and the action continues to ignore a recent problem in the trustworthiness of the American government.

N. Korean defectors show locations of mass graves using Google Earth
NGO creates maps to guide future investigation of crimes against humanity.
Ars Technica
Sean Gallagher - 7/19/2017, 4:15 PM



Much of what happens in North Korea remains hidden from the outside world. But commercial satellite imagery and Google Earth mapping software are helping a human-rights organization take inventory of the worst offenses of the North Korean regime and identify sites for future investigation of crimes against humanity.

A new report from the South Korea-based Transitional Justice Working Group (TJWG)—a non-governmental organization that tracks human-rights abuses and crimes against humanity by the world's most oppressive regimes—details how the organization's researchers used Google Earth in interviews with defectors from North Korea to identify sites associated with mass killings by the North Korean regime. Google Earth imagery was used to help witnesses to killings and mass burials orient themselves and precisely point out the locations of those events.

Entitled “Mapping Crimes Against Humanity in North Korea: Mass Graves, Killing Sites and Documentary Evidence,” the report does not include the actual locations of what the researchers deemed to be sensitive sites out of concern that the North Korean regime would move evidence from those sites. But it does provide location data of other sites with potential documentary evidence of crimes, including police stations and other government facilities that may have records of atrocities.

The report is an early set of findings from the Mapping Project, an effort by TJWG to identify sites of abuses over the past two decades based on eyewitness testimony and satellite imagery. The project also wants to examine remote sensing technologies that could be used in the future to detect and analyze sites in North Korea containing human remains.

"Although it is beyond our current capabilities to investigate and analyze the sites due to lack of access," the researchers noted, "this research is a crucial first step in the pursuit of accountability for human rights crimes. It is also designed to serve first responders [NGO workers, forensic scientists, journalists, and others] who may enter North Korea in the future."

Efforts to bring charges against North Korea's regime in the International Criminal Court have been held up by resistance in the United Nations from China and Russia. However, the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in North Korea (UN COI) continues to bring attention to abuses by the North Korean regime, and it has called for measures to be taken to end human rights abuses and hold those responsible for the abuse accountable. And the UN COI continues to gather evidence in a repository for use in a future process. TJWG believes the Mapping Project could significantly aid the push to hold the North Korean regime accountable while aiding "future efforts to institute a process of transitional justice following a change in the political conditions in North Korea." In other words, the project could aid in prosecution after a regime change.

While the Mapping Project is still in its early stages, TJWG released the report to "attract wider participation from both informants and technical practitioners with expertise and knowledge that will advance the project," the researchers said.

The entire notion of the liberation project represents another potential site for the American government to implement the international rape policy the Americans seem to foist on any regime the country deems a threat to the imperialistic ambitions of the corporate entrepreneurs and politicians. The presence of the policy from the U.N. should also condemn the American murders of the civilians in Yemen and Somalia under the auspices of the Saudi Arabian tyranny while the government preaches about the supposed liberty of the country against the interests of the civilians who reside in the country. What right does a country possess to invade a foreign state under the intervention of the national government? The Geneva conventions strictly forbid the ability of a state to invade the territory of another nation unless the nation provides a direct and immediate military threat to the safety of another nation. Where does the direct and immediate threat from the nations of Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Iran, and Iraq on the American government appear in the national stage? The news recently reported on the potential link between the Saudi Arabians and the national terrorist incident of 9/11 in the United States of America, so the supporters of Saudi Arabia reside in the same general location as the terrorists in the region.

The presence of the American hegemony demonstrates the violence of the Imperialists in the acquisition of resources. The primary response of the imperialists include the tendency of the governments to display the enormous military weapons in an attempt to subdue the population in a region through the displays of the threatening postures against the country of choice (Hwang 135). The presence of the action demonstrates the ability of the government to coerce the opposition into the desired position through the extortion of the population through the threat of existential threats. The population needs to realize the potential challenges from the decision of the government to act like a "Paper Tiger" (Mao 100). The presence of the information demonstrates the ability of the imperial power to project a specific projection against the country of choice, but the actions represent a paper projection because the resistance generates the damage from a threat. The presence of the imperialists include the acquisition of land and resources through the invasion of a foreign land like China in 1898 for the silk trade. The presence of the contemporary version of the imperialism incorporates the desire of the population to decimate the population in a damaging attack on the population against the interests of the proletariat in the country. The presence of the imperialism, especially American Imperialism, includes the general destruction of foreign countries as seen in the recent denunciations of the American aggression in the foreign lands of Libya, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria, and Egypt to name a few locations around the world under the influences of American Imperialism. The presence of the actions continue until the population receives the appropriate education to counter the challenges in the country.
The economic and pecuniary challenges continue until the population decides to denounce the corporate fetishes inside the country. The presence of the corporate monopolies include the desertion of the population to the commanding influences of the corporate prodigies. The corporations continue to expand into the role of a purveyor of information across the international borders as seen in the recent actions of BP Oil through the migration of the oil industries into North Dakota after the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, and the companies continue to engage in the dramatic actions of environmental pollution on a massive scale. The presence of the actions in the corporations demonstrates the need of the population to arm the citizenry against the invidious influences of the corporate hegemony among the population until the population seizes the necessary power to conquer the destructive influence of the corporations in the country. The current impetus in the country focuses on the ignition of the spark to hinder the ability of a liberal government to tyrannize the population in a dangerous manner (Lenin 273). The presence of the corporation generates a dangerous influence, but the proletariat, with the appropriate influence from the vanguard, produces the necessary information to destroy the invidious actions of the corporate bourgeoisie and bourgeois governments in the world. The demands of the population continue to demand the population produce the correct response against the situation from the response of the population through the manipulation of a population into the desired formats, yet the proletariat continue to learn how "To Play the Piano" through the generation of the appropriate response (Mao 379 Ibid). The presence of the generation from the generation demonstrates the ability of the committees in the government to generate the desired response from the population through the manipulation of a situation. The presence of the population demonstrates the importance of a situation because the people generate from a specific task.

Lore continues to comment on the vile tendency of the American government to interfere in the elections of the foreign countries as the noise in the background tends to drown the ability of the population to comprehend the importance of the liberation among the population. Until the population receives the importance of the task, the population will continue to suffer under the brutal depravity of the bourgeois system where the population suffers from undernourishment, poor education, and deplorable healthcare in the name of profit. The people need to consider the ramifications of inaction against the potential dangers of a government with an excessive level of power.

The current position of China remains a debatable issue where I lack the appropriate qualifications to comment on the topic because the position of China resides in the crossroads of ideological conflicts between the various sects of the socialist positions. The current position appears to remain between the effects and intentions of the policies from Deng Xiaoping along with the interpretation of various political intentions.

[Elok]

Every dispatch I've read from China (other than those released by the government itself) paints it as a desperately unhappy and corrupt country where it is essentially impossible to live with integrity due to a complete lack of accountability and transparency, combined with the breakdown of basic social trust.  Getting anything done requires a bribe, state jobs and social services are given preferentially based on personal rank and influence, and its vast body of rural workers is reduced to something nearly identical to serfdom.  They can leave their land to work in the cities, but they can't stop being rural-status, which means their descendants will be pathetic migrant laborers indefinitely.  Also, ridiculous amounts of censorship.
