Signal jammer is going to be a necessary part of the infantry toolkit for anything that may involve defending a building.
With this technology you can broadcast a wifi signal as a sort of radar ping, then have the locations of all living things in the building mapped to within 2 meters of their location.
Map that to an AR headset and the infantry has real world wallhacks and you know how much of an advantage that will be.
I can hear that crowd in my head "Oink oink oink squee squee squee".
Deputy Mayor Fritz Alexander called the police on the police. Acting Police Commissioner Ray Kelly dispatched a phalanx of officers to City Hall for crowd control.
That was when Steisel started to get scared.
“I was getting concerned they’re gonna storm the building,” Steisel said. “I mean, these fucking guys are crazy.”
Same fear that drove the ban of police unions in the UK, alongside the impending revolutionary atmosphere.
Capital has privatised the 5 year plan.
The issue you have with soviet nostalgia in eastern europe is that it appeals to the 40+ who are culturally backwards on social issues. In order to keep their 40+ audiences the communists lean into some of that, in part because a good chunk of their groups are filled with older people with that nostalgia.
The problem with this is that the young are significantly less culturally and socially backwards. Many younger people end up being attracted to pro-europe groups and liberal social/cultural policy because of this.
You can not appeal to both audiences simultaneously. Either you appeal to the old with their socially backwards views and nostalgia, or you appeal to the young with their socially progressive views and lose the old. The problem is that the old won't just go on to stop existing, they will organise among themselves as communists and continue to cause an association between socially backwards views and communism. This in turn will continue to make attracting younger people hard.
we should focus our agitprop and work towards the youth of our countries instead of a group of people who ultimately will go "extinct" soon.
I personally think the old probably need to go extinct first before the pendulum will swing hard towards attracting the young. Their very existence is a barrier because you can't stop them continuing to do the work they do that currently keeps communists in that space of only appealing to older people in these countries.
Radical musicians being radical enough to conflict with the state and gain national attention is unironically the best method for them to blow up.
Punk can and will make a come back if the state wants to start a fight with musicians over it. What's even more interesting is that British cultural rebellion through music leans into supporting it too. People on this island do not like music or artist censorship, even when they're controversial artists, let alone when they're saying something most of the country agrees with like right now.
This is not a battle the state can win. They are much better off leaving the music industry to be quietly coopted by radio and record companies so that this all sits at the niche fringe, all they're doing is catapulting fringe artists into mainstream recognition.
Oct 7th and everything since. In Corbyn's time the "labour is antisemitic" line worked because a huge majority of people really had no idea what Israel were like. That has completely changed. Everyone has been confronted in some way or another with the "if you oppose what Israel are doing you're antisemitic" line at this point and everyone has rejected it. All good and moral people have criticisms of Israel and can see that their own criticisms would have been accused of antisemitism during the period of time when labour was being ruthlessly attacked for it under Corbyn.
In short, the consciousness of it being bad faith is now widespread and dismissed by all. That consciousness only really existed among the hardcore elements of the actively political left back then.
What a lovely shade of gammon
Yeah I agree with you there but I don't think any communists really ever say they're progressives outside of electoralism. What I want to do is get the liberal-left to stop using progressive too, or at least to label themselves as liberal-left in order to put it into people's minds that the existing shit bags are the right and open up the field to the left of them more.
“We didn’t even have a proper corporate organisation, yet everybody listened to him. It’s a kind of quality you just have to be born with.”
So it was organisationally flat? They were just kinda doing what they wanted and it all worked out? Wild.
They've got a tonne of officially sanctioned markets dotted around the country too, those markets deal in stuff brought over the China border mostly. They're susceptible and reachable if you set your cia op up inside China on the dprk border.
Issue is that China killed all the cia operatives.
