Noble Lies and the Myth of Progress as Scientific, Technical, and Social Progress
from Google AI:The "myth of progress" refers to the idea that human history is a continuous, inevitable, and desirable progression towards a better future. This belief, often associated with the Enlightenment, suggests that advancements in technology, science, and societal structures inevitably lead to improved living conditions and a more desirable state for humanity. However, critiques of this idea argue that "progress," particularly as it's currently pursued, may not be universally beneficial and could even be detrimental to the well-being of individuals and the planet.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
The Core Idea of Progress:Critiques and Counterarguments:The Enlightenment-era concept of progress emphasizes continuous improvement and upward movement in various aspects of human life.
It often assumes that humanity is inherently good and that freedom is the ultimate goal, with each generation building upon the achievements of the past.
This view often links progress with technological advancements and economic growth, believing that these will inevitably lead to a better world.
Unsustainability:Many critiques argue that the current model of progress, driven by endless economic expansion and resource depletion, is unsustainable and ultimately harmful.Ignoring Limits:Some critics point to the scientific laws of thermodynamics, limits to growth, and the concept of self-organization, arguing that these natural laws contradict the idea of endless linear progress, according to Tom Wessels in "The Myth of Progress: Toward a Sustainable Future".Unintended Consequences:
Critics also highlight the negative consequences of technological advancements and economic development, such as environmental degradation, social inequality, and the potential for misuse of technology.Moral Ambiguity:The idea of progress as a linear march towards freedom and a better world is challenged by the capacity of humans for both good and evil, and the potential for even well-intentioned advancements to be used for destructive purposes.Loss of Connection:
Some argue that the pursuit of progress has led to a loss of connection with nature and a decline in community and meaningful relationships.Lack of Hope:
In Essence:Some believe that the myth of progress can create a sense of inevitability that discourages action and critical thinking about the challenges facing humanity, according to gwynethjones.coach.
The "myth of progress" represents a powerful and pervasive idea about human history and its trajectory. While it has inspired advancements and positive changes, critiques highlight its limitations, unsustainability, and potential for unintended negative consequences. The debate surrounding the myth of progress raises fundamental questions about the nature of human development, the role of technology, and the path towards a truly sustainable and desirable future.

The Multi-CultY Paradox of Race and CultURAL Essentialism...
In Greek mythology, Cecropia was the original name of Athens, named after its legendary first king, Cecrops. Cecrops was depicted as a man with a serpent's tail, and he is credited with bringing civilization to the region by teaching the people important skills like marriage, writing, and burial practices. The city was later renamed Athens in honor of the goddess Athena, after she won a contest against Poseidon to become the city's patron.
The contest involved each offering a gift to the city. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident, creating a saltwater spring, while Athena planted an olive tree. The Athenians chose Athena's gift, the olive tree, as it provided them with food, oil, and wood, symbolizing peace and prosperity. Consequently, the city was renamed Athens in her honor, and Poseidon, angered by the decision, cursed the city with a water shortage.Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
Water represents Chaos, the Land, Order... the heroes quest is often to challenge the chaos and create order ...Theseus, however challenged the Minotaur's "ordered" labyrinth whereas Alexander the Great simply "cut" the Gordian knot. One required mind, and knowledge, the other force lacking knowledge. Which was the greater hero?

Socialismo Para el Siglo XXI!
What’s gonna happen next? Is Trump gonna federalize the New York City Police Department? What’s after that? Chicago, L.A., Miami, Boston, and on and on? What’s after that? The NFL? The NBA? Is he gonna federalize them to take them over? All he wants to do is deflect from his inadequacy by the bold, insane moves.
The takeover of D.C. police, it’s not what I need. I don’t need this D.C. police to be taken over. I don’t. They need to get the tariffs over with. They need to get the war over with. They need to get the Gaza thing over with.
And after that, we have something else we have to get over with.
No Alec... THAT would be Socialism!

Anti-Racism/ Anti-War Movement Revival Tunes... The Neo-New Left
The CCP's Praetorian Guard Moved North of the Rubicon
With the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) scheduled for October, the annual gathering of CCP leaders at Beidaihe is a prelude of what to expect, from the economy to leadership changes. Lianhe Zaobao China news editor Yang Danxu gives her take.
China’s state media released a 500-word report on 3 August, revealing that Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politburo Standing Committee member Cai Qi visited experts on summer vacation in Beidaihe — indirectly confirming that the top CCP leaders have entered its annual “Beidaihe time”.
Located in Hebei’s Qinhuangdao, about 300 kilometres from Beijing, Beidaihe is a popular summer retreat in northern China. In 1953, the CCP leadership began working collectively from Beidaihe during the summer, formalising a summer office system. This practice was suspended when the Cultural Revolution began in 1966, but resumed in 1984. Several key decisions in the party’s history were made in Beidaihe, including key appointments and political reports ahead of the CCP’s party congress every five years.
This year, the focus of “Beidaihe time” is expected to revolve around the China-US trade war, the Chinese economy, and the upcoming fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the CCP, known as the fourth plenum.
What is ‘Beidaihe time’?
In 2003, during Hu Jintao’s leadership, the summer office system in Beidaihe was abolished, and its political significance diminished. However, the tradition of senior party officials — including some retired leaders — gathering in Beidaihe for a collective retreat from late July to early August has been maintained.
Although no formal meetings are held, top leaders still use the retreat to exchange views on major issues. Before the decline of “gerontocracy” and factionalism, the Beidaihe gathering served as a platform for information sharing, addressing concerns and reaching compromises. In recent years, China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, has established the era of “one position as the highest authority” (定于一尊) and taken full control over key decisions. Nevertheless, discussions during Beidaihe still play a role in coordinating and unifying positions within the party.
This year, the focus of “Beidaihe time” is expected to revolve around the China-US trade war, the Chinese economy, and the upcoming fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the CCP, known as the fourth plenum.
Trade and economy
The third round of China-US trade talks concluded last week in Stockholm, Sweden, with both sides agreeing to extend the “truce” initially reached in Geneva, though the extension still requires final approval from US President Donald Trump.
As the US wraps up tariff negotiations with other countries, which were forced to accept harsh terms, it is clear that Beijing will not agree to a similar outcome. The gap between China and the US on tariff issues remains wide, and the negotiations will only get tougher from here. After using the “rare earth card” to push back against Washington in the earlier phase, China’s leadership now faces key questions before the next round of talks: what can be compromised, what deals should be made, and what should be demanded from Washington in return.
The prospect of the China-US trade war remains a sword of Damocles suspended over the Chinese economy. Despite a 5.3% growth rate in the first half of this year, and domestic consumption contributing over 50% to that growth, China’s economic recovery is far from solid. Official data released last week showed the July manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) at just 49.3 — marking the fourth consecutive month below the boom-bust line.
To put it bluntly, resisting the risks and shocks brought about by the US, whilst addressing the challenges of domestic economic transformation, would be the focus over these five years.
With the uncertainty surrounding tariff negotiations, coupled with overly ramped-up exports in the first half of 2025, it is expected that there would be regression for foreign trade. After the phasing out of the trade-in policy, the revitalisation of domestic demand might not be sustainable. The major age-old obstacle that is the real estate market remains in a state of flux with no sign of rock bottom, while the pulling effect of emerging industries is not sufficient as a replacement — the Chinese leadership would likely not dare to take their eye off the economy.
Before entering “Beidaihe time”, the Politburo — as is customary — met in the last week of July. On top of discussing the state of the economy, it was also decided that the fourth plenum would be convened in Beijing in October, to deliberate on suggestions for the formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030).
In the words of the officials, the 15th Five-Year Plan period is described as “a crucial phase for consolidating the foundation and making all-round efforts to basically realise socialist modernisation”. Chinese officials also assessed that “China’s development is facing profound and complex changes, as strategic opportunities, risks, and challenges are concurrent and uncertainties and unforeseen factors are rising”.
To put it bluntly, resisting the risks and shocks brought about by the US, whilst addressing the challenges of domestic economic transformation, would be the focus over these five years. How well this is done would determine whether China can realise socialist modernisation by 2035. The direction and blueprint for this endeavour would require total consensus among the top leadership.
The fourth plenum is also expected to address several significant personnel issues, which could be discussed during “Beidaihe time”. There are currently a few unresolved cases among the upper echelons of the CCP.
Leadership issues
The fourth plenum is also expected to address several significant personnel issues, which could be discussed during “Beidaihe time”. There are currently a few unresolved cases among the upper echelons of the CCP.
For instance, the nature of Ma Xingrui’s next appointment, following his stepping down as Xinjiang party secretary over a month ago, has not yet been determined. Similarly, the investigation results and handling of feedback concerning Miao Hua, who fell from grace last November and was removed from his Central Military Commission (CMC) position, have also not been officially announced.
More strikingly, He Weidong, a CMC vice-chairman and Politburo member, has been absent for nearly five months without an official explanation. Authorities might unveil details concerning his situation, along with the Miao case, after the Victory Day parade on 3 September and before the fourth plenum.
If He is indeed in trouble, as external observers speculate, the 20th CMC would be reduced from seven members in October 2022 to four, accounting for the earlier removals of former Defence Minister Li Shangfu and Miao. The 24-member Politburo would also lose a member due to He's alleged downfall.
Whether the authorities will adjust the CMC at the fourth plenum — such as promoting Liu Zhenli or Zhang Shengmin from CMC members to vice-chairmen, or promoting Dong Jun who previously took over as defence minister to a member of the CMC — or whether there would be a rare replacement to the Politburo which is supposedly down a member, these would all be focal points for the fourth plenum.
Historically, over the past two decades, Central Committee plenary sessions have seen more frequent adjustments to the CMC than additions to the Politburo. However, at this critical juncture, with the anti-corruption storm continuing to brew within the People’s Liberation Army and the “pernicious influences” (流毒) yet to be fully eradicated, the leadership is unlikely to rush promotions without complete confidence. This “Beidaihe time” would allow top leaders to briefly set aside daily affairs and carefully deliberate on personnel deployment and selection issues.

Why Didn't Russia Help Trump Win in 2016?
One of the founders of the research firm behind the controversial Russian dossier met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer before and after she sat down with President Trump’s son and other campaign officials at the Trump Tower during the 2016 election, Fox News reported on Tuesday.
Glenn Simpson, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and co-founder of Fusion GPS, was with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya at a Manhattan federal courtroom just hours before the Trump Tower meeting on June 9, 2016, Fox News reported, citing a source. He met with her again after the meeting, the report said.Veselnitskaya, promising “dirt” on Hillary Clinton, met with Donald Trump Jr. and other campaign operatives – including Jared Kushner and former campaign manager Paul Manafort. Trump Jr. later said the discussion was about Russian adoptions.
But the meeting took place at a critical time when Fusion GPS was being paid by a Russian oligarch and by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee while it enlisted former British spy Christopher Steele to dig up damaging information about Trump through his contacts in Moscow, Fox News said.
The report said Simpson’s meeting Veselnitskaya and Fusion GPS’ being bankrolled by the DNC, the Clinton campaign and Russian interests raises new questions about what role the firm played in the presidential election.
The original plan was to tie Trump and Paul Manafort to Russia, as the Ukrainians had given the Clinton Campaign Kompromat on Manafort (the forged Black-Ledger) that later served as the basis for Manafort's FARA conviction.

Brigitte is SLAPPing Everyone Now!
A SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) lawsuit is a legal action intended to silence critics by burdening them with the cost and stress of a legal defense, rather than a genuine claim. These lawsuits are often filed by powerful individuals or entities against those who are speaking out on public issues, such as environmental concerns, human rights, or government corruption.
Can the Israel Lobby Save the Democratic Party from Itself in 2028?
ZOHRAN Mamdani’s surprising win in the New York City Democratic primary has sparked controversy, particularly among conservative critics and Donald Trump. As a progressive candidate, Mamdani’s platform includes ambitious but well calculated initiatives such as free and faster city buses, rent freezes, and governmental funded groceries, and more. His Victory with 43.51% of the vote over his main political opponent, Andrew Cuomo, and most likely his win in the upcoming New York City mayoral election, will be recorded as a historic milestone in many ways.
It is surprising to many, Mamdani’s triumph marks the largest victory in New York City’s primary election history. He successfully drew in citizens to participate in the election, resulting in the highest voter turnout in the city’s electoral history. This is a remarkable feat in New York City’s politics.
This reality is supposedly be admitted as a source of pride for America, particularly New York City, and serve as a crucial moment to revitalize the country’s political enthusiasm, which has drastically waned since Donald Trump’s re-election. More importantly, for the Democratic Party, especially for those in leadership position, should seize this momentum as an opportunity for resurgence after their defeat in the executive (White House) and legislative branches (senate and congress).
Zohran’s significant victory is truly a good opportunity for Democrats to regain momentum and win the midterm elections this year. For the Democratic Party, winning the Senate and Congressional midterm elections is crucial, given the current political landscape with Donald Trump in the White House and Republican dominance in Congress. The policies implemented by the US government have been unfavorable to ordinary Americans, particularly in immigration and budget allocation, which have long been detrimental to marginalized communities.
Sadly and deeply disappointing, till now some Democratic leaders have not yet to fully support and endorse Zohran Mamdani, despite his official nomination as the party’s candidate for the upcoming mayoral election. Two other candidates, Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams, although known as Democratic cadres, have decided to run as independent candidates against the party’s nominee. Logically, they should be viewed as opponents and party traitors by Democratic politicians and leaders. Unfortunately, some have instead shown support for the opponents of their own party’s candidate (Zohran Mamdani).
What is really the reasons behind the stance of some Democratic Party leaders?
There are many hypotheses regarding their stand. But two primary factors to mention contribute to the party leaders’ reluctance to support and endorse Zohran Mamdani.
First, Mamdani’s Religious Background. Mamdani proudly declared himself the first Muslim mayoral candidate in New York City’s history. His victory sparked Islamophobic attacks, drawing comparisons to post-9/11 anti-Islam sentiments. This is unfortunate, that political identity is still blinded some in time they claim to be upholding universal values; notably equal opportunity and justice for all.
Second, Mamdani’s Pro-Palestinian Stance. Mamdani’s stand on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, particularly regarding genocide and mass killing in Gaza, is rooted in his humanitarian values and his consistency on universal peace and justice. However, he’s been labeled anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish, despite opposing only Zionist Israel’s occupation and inhumane treatment of Palestinians.
Mamdani’s religious affiliation and his stance on Palestine directly contradict the interests of AIPAC, America’s most influential political lobby. Many Democratic politicians and leaders who refuse to support Mamdani have likely been swayed by substantial political donations from Zionist lobby groups in the US. Most politicians have been bought by AIPAC to support Zionist Israeli interests, even when it compromises American interests.
In conclusion, the reluctance of party leaders to support Zohran is due to AIPAC’s funding. However, will this benefit America, especially the Democratic Party? I’m certain that with the significant shift in views on the Palestine-Israel issue among young people and millennials in America, it will ultimately be detrimental. If party leaders continue to prioritize AIPAC’s interests over the interests of New York City’s residents, they’ll regret it and might lose their seats in future elections.
Therefore, I call upon the Democratic leaders to prioritize New York City’s and the party’s interests over Zionist lobby’s interests. Keep aside the ego and narrow interests and endorse Zohran for the larger interest of the party and New Yorkers.

A Marxist Critique of the New Left's Neo-Racist Post-Colonial Project
Even if Capitalists think they work hard, the economy would not operate without workers. If something is true, it is true regardless of who is saying it. But just as in the natural sciences, the real operations of a thing are not always obvious, and our task as the political Left should actually be debating to determine how things really work. But in universities there is a culture of denunciation instead of debate. There is a vicious culture of condemning attempting to ruin the reputations of people who are deemed to have transgressed in their language, or some cultural element, or to have disagreed with whatever the common sense liberal position on an issue is at the time. And this is not directed towards the Right, the State, let alone the ruling class, but almost always towards people who are against oppression, people on the Left, those who oppose some form of injustice but are deemed morally unworthy to argue about it because of their identity, opinions, or means. And all of this is part and parcel of postcolonialism, and it develops because postcolonialism is not about truth, it's not about struggle, and it's not about solidarity. It's a framework obsessed with the individual, and it's often a vehicle for the personal advancement of individuals through enormous bureaucracies like Academia. And that was the trajectory of people in the Subaltern Studies Collective. Really, people who once talked about Maoism are now just highly paid academics in New York, and Chicago, and so on.
Now, none of this is good enough for those of us seriously wanting to change the world Marxists want to defeat imperialism and all forms of oppression, which means defeating Capitalism. And for that, we need a lot more than deconstructing and altering the fragments of language and discourse. We need to transform the material world get rid of the ruling elite that profits from all varieties of destruction and oppression. We need a revolution that destroys the very definite sites of power in Capitalism and creates a new democratic society run by the working class. And that is the transformation that we need to open up a world of real human freedom, where the majority are able to determine what kind of society they live in, and how they live their lives.
“Postcolonialism is the invention of rich Indian guys who wanted to make a good career in the West by playing on the guilt of white liberals”― Slavoj Žižek
Structuralism is an intellectual movement and theoretical framework that analyzes phenomena by examining their underlying structures and the relationships between their elements. It's a way of understanding things by looking at the systems and patterns that give them meaning, rather than just their individual components or surface-level appearances. Essentially, it emphasizes how interconnectedness and interdependence shape our understanding of the world.Post-structuralism is a philosophical and critical approach that emerged as a response to structuralism, challenging the idea of fixed meanings and universal structures. It emphasizes the instability of meaning, the fluidity of language, and the role of context in interpretation. Key figures include Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Roland Barthes, who explored concepts like deconstruction, discourse analysis, and the "death of the author".
