As capitalism is in terminal decline it will resort to increasing violence as well as the methods of past modes of production because it is incapable of allowing history to progress. Insofar as capitalism is coming to resemble feudalism through increasing emphasis on rent, and cyberpeasant work from home jobs where the boss doesn't watch you as hard but you're expected to yield a certain amount of surplus value each week, it doesn't really matter because feudalism isn't coming back, capitalism is just getting more desperate. We're not getting Dune timeline.

Leftypedia lived - Leftypedia lives - Leftypedia will live!

Greetings, comrades. Leftypedia, the radical encyclopedia, should be back in a usable state. We have more moderators, which will help with spam from now on, and images are slowly being repopulated for your viewing pleasure. The new domain has been up and running for a while at https://wiki.leftypol.org, and we've imported the vast majority of content that was on the old site while adding a lot of new stuff. I hope that Anons can come back and fill in any content that was lost.

For those unaware, Leftypedia is an original /leftypol/ project dedicated to combating the disinformation of mainstream media and academic sources, as well as discussing leftist history, theory, and practice from a multi-sectarian viewpoint. We welcome additions from different leftist perspectives provided that they are properly sourced and well argued. In addition, we maintain a separate space, tentatively titled "Essays", for more subjective or polemic work.

The original thread is here: >>>/edu/3780
You can find Leftypedia at: https://wiki.leftypol.org

Hello folks, I was hoping someone could give me some decent literature on the Babiy Yar massacre in English, I wish to send it to a friend for them to study. It's hard to find anything non-Russian on the subject that doesn't insert anti-communist drivel into it and unfortunately, unlike myself, she cannot read Russian. Help a comrade out.

What does /leftypol/ think of the riots in New Caledonia? Quick rundown for those not in the known:

>New Caledonia is an island in the South Pacific near Australia, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands
>It was colonized in the 19th century by France
>Typical colonial shenanigans. Enslavement, forced labor, French settlers moved in that still control most of the land and economy
>Violent independentist movement in the 20th century resulted in the Noumea Accords which called for three referendums on Independence
>Voting in the referendums and other local matters was restricted to long-term New Caledonia residents who were living there in 1998
>BUT at this time the white settler population, as well as other outsiders who got there by also being part of the French colonial empire (Polynesias from Tahiti, Walis and Futuna, Cambodians, Vietnamese) were already the majority of the population
>Unsurprisingly, all the non-locals voted to stay with France and each referendum failed
>France is now unilaterally breaking the Accords and letting over 10,000 people be added to the voting rolls (who will all vote for pro-France politicians ofc)
>young Kanaks (the name of the Indigenous people of the island) are revolting now over this, some police killed, Micron seething and sending in more police/military, TikTok shut down

Heavily disagree. Why do you think a lot of corporations promote nostalgia from the 90s and 00s. It is nostalgia that Millennials miss from their childhood.The 2000s still had momentum from the 90s and wasnt a bad time at all. Mind you Millennials got into adulthood with the 2008 crisis that made reaching that promised dream unattainable. So there was still promise of a bright future that got taken away.

that's fine. personally I prefer Python, and handing off any heavy calculation to C libraries for which Python bindings often exist. one prominent example is numpy (and scipy)
as far as I'm aware there's no hardware support for bounds checking. as soon as one allows indirect addressing you will get the kind of bugs we see in many C programs. the way to prevent these are either to do what Java does, namely bounds checking on every access, or somehow guaranteeing out of bounds access can't happen via the type system. formal methods allow the latter, even in C

MARXIST POLITICAL ECONOMY GENERAL
>Marxist political economy concerns itself variously with the analysis of crisis in capitalism, the role and distribution of the surplus product and surplus value in various types of economic systems, the nature and origin of economic value, the impact of class and class struggle on economic and political processes, and the process of economic evolution.

Dude what the fuck are you talking about.
Surplus value and SNLT arent part of each other like that. Surplus value is the amount of value produced by workers not paid in wages to workers.
Marx never used socially unneccecary labour time, except to describe making useless things.
>SNLT is what Value becomes by the sale of a commodity (which then becomes the worker's wages).
Value only exists if the labour is used to make commodities, which are by definition sold. Labour performed for non-market purposes has no economic value in capitalism, and has no value because value is a concept emerging from commodity production and exchange of those.

You should read marx again because what you wrote is just a fundamental basic misunderstanding of the terms as used by marx and in marxism. For example, socially neccecary labour time is called as such because it is the average neccecary labour time needed by society to produce one of some commodity.

>>1857961
>Surplus value is the amount of value produced by workers not paid in wages to workers.
Value and Surplus-Value are created by the capitalist in the sale of commodities. If you work for a company that makes no money, then your labour is by definition unproductive. Only in sale does labour achieve its Value and Surplus-Value. This is one of the contradictions of commodity-production and why the proletariat is tied to this form for its self-reproduction. Capitalists and the proletariat sustain eachother.
>Marx never used socially unneccecary labour time, except to describe making useless things.
I swear reading verbatim marx using the term "socially-unnecessary labour time" to describe the time taken to give capitalists profits. But it fits well enough.
>Value only exists if the labour is used to make commodities, which are by definition sold. Labour performed for non-market purposes has no economic value in capitalism, and has no value because value is a concept emerging from commodity production and exchange of those.
Yes exactly.
>For example, socially neccecary labour time is called as such because it is the average neccecary labour time needed by society to produce one of some commodity.
And whats different in what i said? SNLT is paid back in the form of wages, which is the Value of the worker's labour-power. The average *time* is highlighted to bring distinction to the time it takes to also reap a profit for the capitalist, which is socially-unnecessary labour time (SULT), which would be rendered as surplus-value
Value = SNLT
Surplus = SULT

Wrong, material production still happened, and the company didn't lose money. Is this some sort of weird capitalist religion you're making up, where autistically moving numbers around on a spreadsheet is "materialism"?
>unproductive
Marx doesn't use that term in the moral sense, you know.
