Ukraine's membership in NATO is no longer being discussed, although some statements on this topic are still being made to please Zelensky. However, for most countries of the alliance, this topic is already closed.
La déliquescence s'accélère sur tous les sujets. La petite clique est en panique, les paniqués sont dagereux, mais ils ne savent plus juger, réfléchir. La fin approche, lentement, mais elle approche. Cette fin risque d'être particulièrement moche, mais le présent est déjà si laid...

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

TKP-ML MK: Ali Haydar Kaytan and Rıza Altun are Immortal!
We have learned the martyrdom of Ali Haydar Kaytan and Rıza Altun, who left indelible traces in Kurdistan, Turkey and the Middle East geography with the history of the Kurdish national freedom struggle, which exceeds the date of struggle and resistance, which has exceeded the date of 50 years of struggle and resistance.
PKK, 12th Congress, as well as the historical decisions; Ali Haydar Kaytan, one of the founding leader cadres, is the symbol of devotion to the leadership, the symbol of truth and holy life ”; Rıza Altun’s friend described it as the il symbol of comrade of freedom .. As TKP-ML, we meet the loss of our trench comrades, which are resistance, uninterrupted persistence and freedom, but also with our commitment to their memories.
The people of the Middle East, especially the paths of the earth, nor the Kurdish people, will forget these two freedom workers and the porter of the revolution.
“>Torch carriers of ancient lands; Kaws, Hürreşler, Mazdek, Sheikh Sait, Seyit Consent; Haki Karer, Mazlum Doğan, Kemal Pirlar took over the task and delivered to these days. These torches have been burning in the mountains of Kurdistan for a thousand years.
The fascist Turkish state, along with the establishment of the Republic, on the one hand, Armenian, Greek, Syriac genocide and massacres given the self -confidence; On the other hand, the uneasiness given by the existence of the Kurdish nation built the foundations of assimilation, denial and disinformation about different nations and nationalities.
The most fundamental rights of the Kurdish nation have been ignored one by one since the establishment of the Republic of Turkey and ignored the smallest quest of the massacres. Kurdish identity and language have been tried to be erased. The rebellion and resistance, starting from Koçgiri to Dersim, was answered by blood and deportation by the fascist Kemalist dictatorship, and for many years the dark clouds of fascism collapsed like a nightmare on the plains and mountains of Kurdistan cities.
In 68, the wind of revolution and socialism in the world has also visited our geography and has aroused a strong repercussion in universities, factories and villages. With this wind blowing by socialism, the revolutionary pioneer-left cadres went to the stage of history and attempted to destroy all the banned taboos. First, the leader and founder of our party, Communist İbrahim Kaypakkaya, expressed the full equality of rights of the Kurdish nation, which is banned and language, shattered this prohibited chain of history from its place.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Abdullah Öcalan, the founding leader of the PKK, in 1973, the foundations of the Kurdish National Freedom was laid in Ankara Çubuk and the Kurdish National Freedom March was launched. This march has given the will of a ring that has been updated and has been ignored, the will of its identity, personality and self -essence. A reality, a sociology of freedom was born and the most political public reality of the Middle East was created from a nation whose existence was denied.
In the definition of his comrades, Ali Haydar Kaytan, who is a politician, a guerrilla, an intellectual, a poet, a wise seeking truth ,, and Rıza Altun, who is the sharpness in heart, consciousness, so -called and action ,, has great efforts in every gains of the Kurdish people in this march.
And it can be said that both our trench comrades have left us by reaching their purpose and the secret of the truth.
We reiterate our commitment to the memories and future ideals of them and all our martyrs, and we state that we will carry the torch they carry with pride and honor until absolute victory to every mountain, street and square of our geography.
Ali Haydar Kaytan is immortal!Rıza Altun is immortal!Martyr Namırın! Long live revolution and socialism! TKP-ML Central Committee May 2025

Est-ce que si vous aviez la certitude que vos vêtements ne se déchireraient jamais, ne se troueraient jamais, s’ils pouvaient durer toute la vie, est-ce que vous les garderiez vraiment toute votre vie ? Et cela peut s’appliquer à l’ensemble des objets que nous utilisons. Si cela était possible, est-ce que vous conserveriez toute votre vie le même téléphone, la même décoration, les mêmes vêtements, la même voiture ou encore la même vaisselle ? La réponse est très probablement que non. Du moins, pas si vous adhérez à notre système économique et social qui valorise, plus que tout, la nouveauté.
Ces discours sont au cœur des publicités " C'est nouveau, ça vient de sortir, c'est la mode... " Pourquoi ? parce que ces arguments font vendre ! Mais comment expliquer qu'un produit mis récemment sur le marché paraisse plus désirable et plus fiable que les autres, qui deviennent immédiatement déclassés et considérés comme vieux, dépassés, obsolètes ?
Tout ceci n’est pas naturel, non, c’est en grande partie une construction liée à notre modèle économique consumériste. La chercheuse Jeanne Guien en a analysé l’histoire.
Dans son livre le désir de nouveautés elle montre comment au gré de la diffusion du capitalisme depuis le 16è siècle, la nouveauté est devenue un étalon de valeur. Elle raconte comment, par leurs discours et leurs pratiques, marketeurs, publicitaires, économistes, mais aussi négociants, managers, politiques, designers ou scientifiques ont construit la nouveauté et sa valeur, sous des formes variées, absurdes, agressives. Du commerce colonial vantant les produits " exotiques " aux promesses de " progrès " et de " modernité " mécanique, électrique ou numérique, en passant par la " mode ", le " style " ou les produits jetables, il s'agit toujours de prêter aux consommateurs, et surtout aux consommatrices, un désir incontrôlable de nouveautés, afin de légitimer un modèle économique dévastateur : acheter, jeter, racheter. Alors pourquoi le désir de nouveautés est il un élément clé du consumérisme, réponse tout de suite dans cette nouvelle émission pour Blast.

Pine64’s upcoming ALPHA-One is a small, fanless computer that stands out for a few reasons. One is that it’s made for AIL: the computer has an NPU with support for up to 20 TOPS of AI performance ad ships with a 7b Deepseek/Owen LLM pre-loaded and Pine64 says it supports about 3.5 tokens per second using that model.
Another reason is that the ALPHA-One doesn’t have an Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm […]

Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire.
