Enver Hoxha: Present-day social-democracy is a direct follower of the traitorous 2nd International. It has inherited all the ideological luggage, organization and tactics of the parties of the 2nd International. The social-democrats began their betrayal by getting away from the basic teachings of Marxism-Leninism, which they proclaim as out-dated and inexpedient, by renouncing the class struggle and replacing it with the "theory" of harmony and reconciliation of classes, by negating the revolution and replacing it with reforms within the capitalist order, by giving up the revolutionary way and replacing it with "peaceful", "democratic" and parliamentary method, by denying the indispensability of breaking up the old bourgeois state machinery and accepting the capitalist state as a means to cross over to socialism, by withholding their assent to the dictatorship of the proletariat and replacing it with "pure and general democracy", by departing from proletarian internationalism and going so far the other way as to plunge into positions of the national-chauvinists, to open union with the imperialist bourgeoisie. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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.

For years, Guérot was one of Germany’s most respected political scientists. But after she criticised the pandemic response and the proxy war in Ukraine, she found herself cast as a public enemy
Her case stands as a chilling testament to the authoritarian drift of German society, and Western societies more in general, where dissent is no longer debated but punished — even to the point of going after tenured professors, who used to be almost untouchable. It’s a story that should shatter any lingering illusions about the true state of Western liberal democracy. Ultimately, however, one doesn’t need proof of a conspiracy to be appalled by Guérot’s treatment. If every actor involved was indeed operating independently, the picture is arguably even more troubling — that of an establishment so intolerant of dissent and contradiction that it instinctively moves to stamp it out it wherever it arises.

A friend, Glenn, who had been a pharmacist & then a radiation oncologist, died May 4th from turbo cancer that he got from having to take two Moderna bioweapon jabs in order to keep his job. He told me that he knew the jabs caused his turbo cancer. He told me that he was seeing cancers like he's never seen before after the jabs were started. When will the politicians in this country ban the mRNA bioweapon? How many have to be murdered or maimed before it's stopped?

Analysis: The hunger in gaza undermines the international order at an accelerating pace, “a drift threatening to wash over the entire world in the coming years and decades”
Prof. Liat Kozma and Dr. Lee Mordechai present their research findings detailing the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in #Gaza since October 2023, asserting that Israeli policies intentionally restrict aid and undermine international legal norms.
They conclude that the situation has accelerated since March, indicating a worsening of conduct towards the civilian population. They also state that #Israel has signaled a disregard for international norms and accountability.
While acknowledging increased coordination within the international humanitarian community, they assert that these developments are insufficient, calling for a more rapid and comprehensive response to prevent a potentially catastrophic global impact, "a drift threatening to wash over the entire world in the coming years and decades."
They assert that Israel has "signaled a disregard for international norms and accountability." They explicitly state that Israel "does not see itself obligated to many of these norms," suggesting a belief that Israel will not be held responsible for its actions.

Ein Forschungsteam der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen (JLU) hat im Rahmen des EU-Projekts BioValue das beträchtliche Potenzial der derzeit kaum genutzten Platterbse (Lathyrus sativus) untersucht.
side note (and maybe I gave flu and it’s making me more stupid) but what are the arguments for having SSL on brochureware websites that don’t collect private information?
@charlvdwalt the content of the website doesn’t matter because the content is whatever an attacker wants it to be if you aren’t using SSL. Your brochureware is now malware.
@charlvdwalt SSL is super important and all, but that statement is awfully FUD-y. The odds of somebody actually doing that are vanishingly small, but you make it sound like their site can be replaced by anyone any time
@iagox86 @charlvdwalt No, it was actually a really big issue which is why Google incentivized it. ISPs were injecting ads into random webpages, law enforcement and intelligence agencies made frequent use of it, and it was also a massive privacy risk. Almost every service provider has deep packet inspection and can/will monitor everything you do.
Thanks everyone for your comments on this. I like this excerpt from doesmysiteneedhttps.com:
"this discussion isn't about PKI. It's the best system we've got for right now. Deal with it and secure your site. Use CAA records to restrict which CAs can issue certificates for your site, then cross your fingers and hope transparency and oversight works (it does, so far)".
Do you all feel that there is enough integrity in browser trusted root certificate stores to still provide robust defence against the content / malware injection threat?
Also - have these kinds of injection attacks ceased now, and is SSL the reason for this?
"...Web 2.0 was created so that people could publish cute photos of cats." This report provides analysis of products for facilitating targeted surveillance.
@charlvdwalt back in the days there was also a talking point of "if everyone is encrypting, the people that really NEED to encrypt their stuff won't be easy to filter out"
because we used to live in a world where ISPs, open wifi networks (cafes, etc) could intercept your HTTP responses and inject javascript/HTML into your browser to force you to see ads and/or attack you
@nuintari @todb @iagox86 @charlvdwalt @pluralistic Frontier (formerly Verizon's west coast network) rewrote Google search results via DNS hijacking to add referral codes to Amazon, etc, and may or may not have added their own ads. Pre SSL, of course. I had a reproducible test case that ran via cron at home so we could see when they turned it off and on.
@todb @iagox86 @charlvdwalt @pluralistic I remember phone interviewing with some company that was doing injections as part of "web acceleration". I did not follow up once i learned that aspect.
Also that was after working at AOL and learning their image compression was actually not bad... as long as you didn't dial all the settings down to their lowest values (as they did). So would have been sometime after 2004
The irony that this page isn't HTTPS and I can't change it to HTTPS, and searches from the main website drop it down to HTTP as well isn't lost on me...
(I can only guess they have a different host for their older articles that doesn't support SSL).
@azonenberg @nuintari @todb @iagox86 @charlvdwalt @pluralistic it was a very big thing on public WiFi hotspots. It would break a lot of websites cos the advertising code would just jam new HTML elements in, shitty JavaScript, conflicting versions with what the page authors used... It was a nightmare
