…to be fair, the brazillian military(as many bougeois militaries are) is fairly right wing, from what I remember.

“isn’t it crazy that stalin had a whole city named after himself?? what kind of insane country treats their leaders like that??”
Agree with the sentiment, but I do have to echo Sankara here, that we must never stop explaining. We can’t give up on all libs - our movement can’t succeed without the support of the people.
But yea, honestly, the only place I feel like I can genuinely criticize revolutionaries is here - I am genuinely willing to defend Khrushchev in front of libs, and I really don’t like ceding even a little bit of ground whenever possible.
The only exception is in the case of actually reactionary regimes that I happen to critically support. I am not going to pretend that women’s rights and especially LGBTQ+ rights are respected in Iran to the degree that they should be - that doesn’t mean that I don’t critically support them, but it does mean that my discourse around them is critical because i don’t want to seem like a patsoc/strasserist
In particular, I think the problem is not the technology itself(it rarely is; in my opinion, it is always the application of the technology), in the same sense that advances in automation of production are. The problem is capitalism - under capitalism, automation causes people to lose their jobs and thus their livelihoods, and under socialism, automation decreases the amount of work humans must do and instead leaves them able to explore other hobbies that are not tied to their livelihoods.
There are certainly actual applications of AI art technology that are interesting and/or could be useful, and I think turning it into just a question of “AI art good/bad” is not a particularly insightful question and one that does not really get to the root of the problems with AI art.
…I don’t actually think he particularly cares about that - might as well move aside for the next generation of fascists while making extra money off of his worshippers
I also remember The New Atlas essentially saying that this whole thing was a bluff and really only a means of trying to scare Russia into settling for less out of fear that NATO would be totally committed with masses of equipment(and even possibly manpower). This has… really corroborated that theory.
