@M_Cottone @hege_money @matthewstoller There’s a deep romanticization of factory work in the west that doesn’t hold up. Those jobs weren’t inherently dignified… they’re loud, dangerous, and mind-numbing. Humans aren’t naturally built for that work. What people are actually nostalgic for is union power.

@hege_money @matthewstoller Idk I just don’t really understand the desire to “industrialize” NYC. Maybe with nice, clean, silent, zero emissions factories? Idk - when I think industry I think lots of sq footage and can’t really get behind the best use for that in the capital of the world is manufacturing

Here's a question. How does one re-industrialize New York City?

without class consciousness & political education, the masses in the imperial core will continue to self id w the politics of liberalism even if their desires for change go far beyond. most communists/socialists in the us went on their ideological journey because of bernie’s insurgent “democratic socialist” campaign in 2016 when he ran as a democrat against hillary clinton. the electoral system is a viable route to reach the masses w an alternative. this is what the moneyed interest in both parties fear, this is why they spend against their left flank & fight it tooth and nail. we must continue helping people awaken to the reality of this systems design that creates such inequality, it is not the migrant workers, nor trans people, or muslims or jews- but the billionaires and the parasitic forces of capital and its servants that are responsible for the deteriorating material conditions.

Elon Musk’s so-called “assets” are actually his wages. Tesla’s 2026 SEC filings list his $158.4 billion equity grant as explicit compensation for his CEO labor, not passive investments. That plus SpaceX’s ongoing $54k salary and new performance equity tied to his daily work proves he earns his living through working, which makes him “working class” using your logic, boo.

I have spent my entire life looking for good trouble, from being a youth leader in the civil rights movement after my school was closed during massive resistance all the way until today. I’ve learned to never back down and I will always lead ten toes down fighting for you.

Amazon wants to destroy nearly 5 acres of Indiana wetland to add 14 new data centers, complete with 414 new diesel generators, to its New Carlisle data center complex. Indiana’s Project Rainier launched in 2025 and, with Amazon’s new proposal, would have more than 900 diesel generators producing over 2,400 megawatts of power—enough to power 720,000 homes a day. Diesel generators produce twice the amount of CO2 as a power grid. Black carbon and nitrogen oxides produced from diesel greenhouse gases are linked to spikes in heart and lung diseases and cancers. Indiana ranked 9th in total greenhouse gas emissions nationwide, and last year, Gov. Mike Braun (R-IN) pulled the plug on the state’s plan to reduce emissions. Public comments will be held through June 12.

@Bri_Rosenworcel @billmaher Right? No one gets called antisemitic for condemning the RSF’s genocide in Sudan. You won’t get fired, censored, or arrested for protesting it. And there’s no massive foreign lobbying machine pouring millions into defending/funding that genocide.

@billmaher Sorry, are you saying the human rights abuses we see every day aren’t actually bad because… Sudan is worse? That’s the reason? I’m an antisemite if I’m upset about what I’m seeing?

Vivek Chibber is one of the American Left’s sharpest thinkers, but I disagree in comradely fashion here that technological advance cannot enhance our planning capability. @michalrozworski and I showed in our book, People’s Republic of Walmart, how the vast internal planning apparatus of firms like Walmart and Amazon, has absolutely benefited from/been enabled by information technology developments. Another example: one should very easily see how AI is already making planning easier within public healthcare (one of the most complex set of calculations, with multiple objective functions, that society engages in). Following on from the AI-in-healthcare example, one should also be able to easily imagine how AI might be able to assist with both calculation and approaching the discovery function of markets (I.e., knowing preferences better than markets). How AI assists with the economic calculation problem—the single greatest technical challenge to socialist development—should really be obvious to socialists. This is one of the key reasons why socialists should be supporting (well-regulated, humanist-oriented) AI development rather than opposing it. Socialism does not only face political obstacles, but technical ones as well. One of the frustrating things that kept coming up during our book tour for People’s Republic of Walmart was at book readings, some people thought we were saying that planning is easy. No! Hayek and Mises were correct that it is very hard. They were only wrong in confusing hard with impossible. Just as we do not want society to be governed by unelected kings, bishops or lords, or by unaccountable bureaucrats, technocrats or dictators, we should also not want society to be governed by an amoral, unaligned, unconscious algorithm (ie market incentive). Planning is simply the steadily improving extension of democratic human rationality and sovereignty over ever more of what has dominated us, just as science and medicine steadily extends human rationality and sovereignty over biology and disease. And just like medicine, planning is not something that establishes complete human democratic rational sovereignty all at once. We win gains over time. Saying tech development assists with planning is not the same as saying tech resolves the economic calculation problem in favour of planning: it means instead that planning is not a binary of feasible/infeasible, but rather, alongside challenges from the political objections of those who have an interest in the economic calculation problem not being solved, planning is *a capacity that expands in concert with the development of the productive forces*. Economic planning, market socialism and the mixed economy of social democracy are thus not competing approaches to socialism, but complementary, and their roles relate to how developed the productive forces are. There is a Grand Unified Theory of these various socialisms waiting to be written…

Even supercomputers won’t solve the problems inherent to central planning. But that doesn’t mean we don’t need to replace capitalism with something better: jacobin.com/2026/05/centra…
