Our #aim is to #fill the Empty #Stomachs for those who are in #need

For #Marx, the lower phase of #communism marks the /completion /of the
#socialist #revolution. This is the point at which there is no longer a
#capitalist class who may resist #democratic rule, and indeed no #class
divisions at all, hence the point at which the #repressive functions of
the #state are no longer needed and wither away. So whereas #communist or
socialist measures are part of ‘the real movement which abolishes the
present state of things’,38 the lower /phase /of communism is the first
destination. If it is to lead to the lower phase of communism, a
democratic government and a democratised state must make conscious
efforts to get there. That means progressively bringing value production
under #planned, democratic control, for the purposes of meeting #need.
Hence, #value production will recede under a #workers’ state and be
insignificant or non-existent at the point of reaching the lower phase
of communism. [Peter Jones, The Falling Rate of Profit and the Great Recession of 2007–2009, 2021: xxxv]

Για τον Μαρξ, η κατώτερη βαθμίδα του κομμουνισμού σηματοδοτεί την //ολοκλήρωση// της σοσιαλιστικής επανάστασης. Είναι το σημείο στο οποίο δεν υπάρχει πλέον αστική τάξη ικανή να αντισταθεί στην δημοκρατική εξουσία, και στην πραγματικότητα δεν υπάρχουν ταξικές διαιρέσεις καθόλου· άρα είναι και το σημείο όπου οι κατασταλτικές λειτουργίες του κράτους καθίστανται περιττές και σταδιακά μαραζώνουν. Έτσι, ενώ τα κομμουνιστικά ή σοσιαλιστικά μέτρα αποτελούν μέρος του «πραγματικού κινήματος που καταργεί την υπάρχουσα κατάσταση πραγμάτων», η κατώτερη βαθμίδα του κομμουνισμού είναι ο πρώτος σταθμός. Εάν πρόκειται να επιτευχθεί αυτή η βαθμίδα, η δημοκρατική διακυβέρνηση και ένα εκδημοκρατισμένο κράτος πρέπει να καταβάλουν συνειδητές προσπάθειες για την πραγματοποίησή της. Αυτό σημαίνει τη σταδιακή υπαγωγή της παραγωγής αξίας σε σχεδιασμένο, δημοκρατικό έλεγχο, με σκοπό την ικανοποίηση των αναγκών. Κατά συνέπεια, η παραγωγή αξίας θα υποχωρεί υπό ένα εργατικό κράτος και θα είναι αμελητέα ή ανύπαρκτη κατά την επίτευξη της κατώτερης βαθμίδας του κομμουνισμού.

How hurricane falsehoods are dividing the Republican Party

As Donald Trump and his allies spread false claims about Hurricanes Helene and Milton,
the Republican Party has split into two camps:
those who try to dispel the falsehoods,
and those who are doubling down on them.


#Helene made landfall Sept. 26, tearing through parts of Florida and Georgia before devastating much of western North Carolina,
ultimately causing more than 230 deaths.

#Milton made landfall Wednesday evening near Sarasota, Fla., bringing powerful winds, tornadoes and deadly floodwaters.


As the country digs out, Republicans in storm-battered states appear torn between the #need to #curb #misinformation and #fear of drawing a #rebuke from Trump just weeks before the election.

Many lawmakers and officials have sought to counter these rumors without directly criticizing the former president or their party.


One of the most prevalent falsehoods spread by Trump is the claim that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, has used some disaster-relief funds to help migrants.

Though the emergency agency and migrant-relief programs are both part of the Department of Homeland Security, ️their funds are in separate accounts,
and money earmarked for aid to migrants can’t be transferred to cover hurricane costs.
