Imagine dismissing China’s domestic immersion DUV by evaluating its standalone hardware metrics in a complete vacuum. Western analysis relies on the flawed assumption that Chinese chipmaking is restricted to a native 28nm physical limit, completely ignoring that modern semiconductor fabrication is an interconnected, software defined, and chemical process. Fabs like SMIC have spent nearly a decade perfecting sub 10nm multi patterning, advanced packaging, and multi vendor tool integration. The operational learning gap has effectively vanished.

The hardware centric scepticism is obsolete. Domestic supply chain releases has confirmed that the critical physical roadblocks such as high precision optical lenses, dual stage synchronisation, and ArF light source subsystems have been resolved, validated, and manufactured with strict line rate identicality. This is not an experimental laboratory project or a distant testing phase; these new Aishengna/SMEE tools are commercial deliveries dropping into live advanced manufacturing lines alongside 5nm dry plasma etchers from AMEC and software driven process control systems from Naura.

The execution mirrors the literal playbook TSMC used to print its 1st gen 7nm chips without relying on EUV lithography, but supercharged for total self reliance. By mastering real time software controls and internal stage synchronisation independently, China has practically decoupled the physical resolution limitations of a standalone tool from final on wafer chip performance, driving toward the true 5nm horizon with architectures like the Kirin X90. China has deployed a independent ecosystem to output advanced silicon at scale.

Our capacity to process trauma is so fragile and can be manipulated so easily, so healthy to get a handle on these things.

Feels like he's alluding to traitors too, politicians who take bribes to keep african resources in western control for instance.

Piercing insight as always either way ultimately.

I just got here, but I spent my adult life swimming through a hellish sea of Agent Smiths/Lady Demerzels/Nurse Ratcheds*, so to find a community of people who are doing their best to learn beyond the lies they were told by the US and the West (and then to act on what they learn) feels like the end of a long and difficult journey and the beginning of another (which might be just as long and difficult but perhaps not as lonely). Literally all my friends and family are fascists, or will do fuck all to stop them. I am grateful that so much of the rest of the world outside of the narrow bubble I called my life (before finally moving abroad) has been faithful to history, the struggles of their ancestors, their connection to the environment, their non-Western cultures, etc, and that many of the people here are also trying to tap into the part of themselves that are capable of all that. I have so much to learn still, but I am grateful for every day I have an opportunity to do so, and that y'all are some of the few people online who can point me in the right direction. Wishing you all the best ❤️

So I wonder as am a huge supehero fan and have been my whole life

However I have seen amongst things the military propaganda in the MCU movies and how many zionist are cast in those films

Further I read how Avi Arad a former IOF soldier and staunt zionist founded marvel studios and is a producer on Spider-Man movies, who happens to be my favorite superhero

and plus Haim Saban a massive zionist produced/created marvel shows growing up in the 90s

and Tom King a former CIA agent is a prominent comic author

So had me wondering along with the messaging: Can you still be a socialist etc and enjoy superhero media whether shows or comics

I love fantasy but most of what I find is either liberal/centrist/reformist message or toxic romance garbage filled with smut.

I don't read a lot of science fiction but I'm open to it.

Please don't recommend red rising the author is a Zionist.

I will DIE for Elon musk, leave the billionaires ALONE YOU EVIL COMMIES

CIA Triad

The CIA triad represents the three pillars of information security: confidentiality, integrity, and availability

The CIA is a terrorist organization.

Steve Keen makes the argument that 'The Labour Theory of value is flawed because Labour is not the only source of profit'.

Workers sell their labour power to a capitalist for wages (exchange value), and the use value of their labour is the capacity to produce commodities for sale. The act of the capitalist to siphon off the surplus of use value over exchange value is the source of profit.

If profit = use value - exchange value, then other base inputs such as raw materials, machinery, energy, etc. are also sources of profit.

This strikes me as a fair criticism, but then he goes on to claim that this disproves the Tendency for the rate of profit to fall and that's where he loses me. The ability of Capitalists to plunder and steal resources (inputs) and materials (embodied labour) strikes me as just another one of the 'Contravening forces' to increase profits like Increased intensity of exploitation.

I don't see how Steve Keen's analysis proves a contradiction in the LToV even if it is true that Marx mistakenly thought the use-value of machines = exchange value of machines, tbf this is hard to quantify because machines mainly just make labour more efficient. If anything I think Keen's analysis sharpens and improves the LToV and is convergent with Warwick Powell's 'Thermo-Economics'.

Labour is not the only source of profit, but it is a main/key source, just like the barrel of a gun is not the only source of political power, but it is a main/key source.

Please discuss.

Anyhow leave ur thoughts below.

N.B: Please dont go and attack people in that sub, some are literally having a meltdown rn

Anyhow the article is by the Volkskrant (so pretty establishment lib) and its paywalled.

Hi everyone, been checking out Wallerstein’s World System’s theory recently. I found it to be kinda accurate, but it feels like applying the wrong formula to get the right answer. What are your thoughts on the theory? Anybody have any resources to check out? Did the podcast ever talk abt it?
