carcinofuck posted:what part of mere *clap* anarchy *clap* do you not understand?? Missiles and their guidance units need between quite a bit, to a lot, of service and maintenance. The more capable the system, the more maintenance, training, and support it requires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cz1o60PWog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLSPRTWIrlc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D44rTHrb9p8 AA guns also need the same. There is still a regiment of Oerlikon AAA in war stores in Montreal and apparently they need to take it apart to maintain it more than once a year. When Skyguard was in service, all of the electronics on the guns, in BHQ, and of course the radars, needed to be maintained weekly with major maintenance before and after every exercise, I think like a week of maintenance near the end of their service lives.

That's just resting on their laurels. Mussolini does deserve credit for making explicit the core of bourgeois ideology, imo. The corporation really is the greatest guarantor of profit. Western statesmen & businessmen and the fascists were explicit about how much they inspired each other. Corporate HR departments are a means of extracting cooperation from labor by giving them the illusion of representation without their own organizational base of power. It's also no secret that labor unions are effectively government managed to cooperate with bourgeois interests. The First World has realized fascism in everything but name, we just don't recognize it because we're part of the franchise.

Obviously, being fascists, they were all in favour of the continued dominance of the bourgeoisie, but Mussolini was a loving idiot who really thought you could have industrial capitalism while maintaining an explicitly feudal superstructure. iirc it's because of how Italy industrialized, where Italian industrialization resembled medieval craftsmanship in terms of what was made, and how, and the resulting aesthetics and politics of that. The Art of Objects: The Birth of Italian Industrial Culture, 1878-1928 The Art of Objects is a cultural history of early Italian industrialism, set against the political, social, and intellectual background of post-unification Italy, and a cutting-edge investigation of the formation of Italy's industrial culture at the turn of the twentieth century. Providing a close examination of several objects of mass consumption, including watches, photographs, bicycles, gramophones, cigarettes, and toys, author Luca Cottini explores the transformation of these objects from commercial items into aesthetic and philosophical icons. By focusing on the cultural significance of these objects as they enter the market and appear in contemporary works of art and literature, The Art of Objects outlines a comprehensive view of the age between the unification of Italy and Fascism, encompassing production and consumption, aesthetics and entrepreneurship, industry and the humanistic tradition. The observation of the slow formation of new languages, practices, and experiences around these objects also provides valuable insight into the creative laboratory of Italy's early industrial culture. By reconstructing the origins of the Italian culture of design, the book ultimately investigates Italy's critical reception of industrialism, the nation's so-called "imperfect" modernization, and its ongoing quest for an original way to modernity. I would guess this has continued through the present day, where the highest profile Italian goods are luxury cars, clothing etc. ?

No, you're missing the point. The "corporation" and Corporazione are both instruments created to manage the cooperation of labor with capital. The form of the fascist corporation is incidental to its function. The fact that modern corporations are also structured to mitigate risk for its investors is an advancement of bourgeois power from historical fascism through the dissolution of responsibility.

The SEALs were reported missing after boarding an Iranian vessel in a Jan. 11 operation near the coast of Somali, the US Central Command says on X. “We mourn the loss of our two Naval Special Warfare warriors, and we will forever honor their sacrifice and example. Our prayers are with the SEALs’ families, friends, the US Navy, and the entire Special Operations community during this time,” CENTCOM Commander General Michael Erik Kurilla said in a statement. The US has carried out a string of strikes against Houthi targets in response to Iran-backed Houthi attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea that have disrupted global trade and raised fears of supply bottlenecks. US Central Command forces on Saturday struck a Houthi anti-ship missile that was aimed into the Gulf of Aden and prepared to launch, the US military said.

Source: Times of Israel https://www.timesofisrael.com/report-barkat-snipes-at-pm-over-aid-to-gaza-reported-openness-to-palestinian-state/ Report: Barkat snipes at PM over aid to Gaza, reported openness to Palestinian state By TOI STAFF 21 January 2024, 11:04 pm Economy Minister Nir Barkat reportedly clashed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Sunday’s cabinet meeting, panning the leader’s handling of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, apparently citing a report that he has not ruled out a Palestinian state, the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip, and the prospect of continued attacks by Hezbollah in the north. Barkat, seen as a potential contender to lead the ruling Likud party, accused “the cabinet of conception” of continuing to make decisions as if they “haven’t learned a thing from the black Saturday” on October 7, taking swipes at the prime minister during a security assessment, several news outlets reported. “Whoever thinks of giving the prize of a Palestinian state after October 7 will find they don’t have a government,” the minister warned, according to Channel 12 and Ynet. Barkat has clashed in the past with Netanyahu over how the combat in Gaza is being conducted, decrying the shift of military operations to a less intensive phase. Over the past few days, Netanyahu has repeatedly rejected the idea of a fully-fledged Palestinian state, after CNN reported that he told US President Joe Biden he hadn’t ruled out a two-state solution completely. The CNN report noted that Biden had found recent conversations among his administration’s officials on a potential demilitarized future Palestinian state to be “intriguing.” A US official has confirmed the CNN report to The Times of Israel. Biden himself said late Friday that the creation of an independent state for Palestinians is not impossible even while Netanyahu is still in office and that the two leaders had discussed the issue during their phone call earlier Friday. Several other coalition ministers also ruled out the creation of a Palestinian state in response to the CNN report, claiming that such a move would endanger Israel’s security and bolster its enemies. Barkat also appeared to criticize Israel’s ongoing strategy along the northern border, decrying the lack of “a horizon for residents returning to the north,” according to the report. “We have lost the north. We have 200,000 Israeli refugees [from the north and south]. We lost it completely if you think they will go back when across the border the Radwan forces are waiting,” he reportedly said, referring to the elite forces of the Iran-backed Hezbollah Since October 8, 2023, a day after Hamas murdered some 1,200 people and kidnapped 253 in southern Israel, Hezbollah has engaged in cross-border fire on a near-daily basis, launching rockets, drones and missiles at northern Israel in a campaign it says is in support of Hamas as the terror group battles Israeli forces inside the Gaza Strip. The attacks carried out by Hezbollah have forced some 80,000 residents of northern Israel to evacuate their homes, with no way of knowing when they will be able to safely return. If Hezbollah cannot be made to retreat via diplomatic channels, Israel’s military leaders have repeatedly stated that they will be prepared to escalate the fighting. Barkat then blasted the continuing entry of humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip while Hamas keeps holding onto 132 of the hostages it captured on October 7. Over 9,500 trucks have entered the Strip since Israel permitted aid to cross over on October 22, according to the IDF’s Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT). International organizations and Israel’s allies, among them the United States, have pressured Israel to increase the rate of aid going into Gaza, in order to alleviate the growing humanitarian crisis in the enclave. “It isn’t logical that we continue to supply goods, fuel, and flour to the Strip when our hostages are sitting in tunnels. It’s just ridiculous. There wasn’t a time in history where a country provided goods and fuel to an enemy state,” Barkat said, according to Channel 12. Netanyahu reportedly replied: “It’s so that the world will let us continue the war.” Barkat was said to respond: “You are still stuck in [old] conceptions.” Netanyahu then charged there was “a danger of epidemics and diseases that can break out in Gaza,” to which Barkat responded: “What does the entry of goods and fuel have to do with preventing epidemics?” Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli also reportedly chimed in, stating: “We are too humanitarian with Gaza and it is one-sided.”

Pener Kropoopkin posted:killing all the hostages would confirm that all Israelis are expendable in the state’s interest when Israeli identity is built on their indispensability. the difference between historical fascism and soy fascism is that the historical fascist sublimated himself to an order that gave him the power to kill in exchange for his life. the ideologically committed fascist sacrificed himself to the historical destiny of the nation, while fascist leadership insulated itself from risk. the ideal fascist was more or less an adventuring murderer. soy fascism is a nation of hitlers and mussolinis. there’s too many duces in the kitchen. everyone wants to kill but nobody is ready to die.
