This is going to be similar to the Occupy Wall Street movement, trying to motivate capitalism to create reforms to benefits the vast majority of the peoples, another movement for reformism. The problem are not the CEO, the problem is capitalism
bibliophile ? I am one of those F pervert too because I love books and libraries. I grew up in a small town and the best center of entertainment was the town library . My father was always reading books and he was not an intellectual but he was a walking library, China books and periodical was throwing thousands of books and I took all of them and I gave all them to several Leninists organizations . In the USA they want to burn books what for ? Nobody is reading anything. They are reading the collected works of Donald Trump
I do not think that any member of this forum is rejecting printed books. I have two rooms with printed books and some of them were sent to a book binding company for hard cover
There were bookstores all over, Buenos Aires is one of the few cities that has many bookstores, most bookstores were closed due to high cost of the rents and high prices of the books, only Barnes and Noble survived and Amazon.
My first Alma-mater was surrounded by bookstores and all of them were closed, and now it is surrounded with night clubs and bars
I have my own personal library that I have been collecting for several years and I have a 12 inches iPad and a laptop with hundred of digital books too.
I have more printed books than digital, but the reality is that we can not live in the past anymore and printed books are becoming very expensive including the socialist literature.
I paid $225.00 for the 52 volume of Marx and Engels, and $125.00 for the 42 volumes of Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Enver Hoxha, collected works, and now the price is over $3,000.00 for the work of Marx and Engels. and they have copyright, and digital are free, The MIA removed them from the internet,
Legal books like a hornbook and a casebook the price was $35.00 and now the price is $325.00, a book on Robins Pathology the price is $250.00, and a book on Harrison internal medicine is $450.00 and they are digitally free in some websites .
The University of Buenos Aires is selling teachers lectures because the books are very expensive and students can not buy them, many libraries have computers with digitally textbooks because it is cheaper for them and cheaper for the students. I go to the library almost every day and I take my own printed books
But what is a “Marxist-leaning” person?
The same thing as left leaning person which is frequently used in the USA and nobody knows the meaning, and they call marxist anyone that is opposing Trump including Kamala Harris who knows shit about Karl Mar and has never read anything about Marx or Engels

There Are Five Million Ways to Kill a CEO, But Ending For-Profit Healthcare Requires MoreAll of social media is talking about the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, and much of the country seems to be in favor. But individual revenge will not be enough to end the injustice of this system.
Nathaniel Flakin
December 5, 2024
Early Wednesday morning, Brian Thompson was walking into a hotel in Manhattan, when a figure in a hoodie stepped out from behind a car and shot him in the back.
Since then, it feels like there is no other topic on social media. The entire country was talking about the assassination of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare (UHC), the largest health insurance company in the United States, with a market valuation of almost half a trillion dollars.
Pretty much everyone was celebrating, and the jokes were endless. Would he be denied coverage if he was picked up by an out-of-network ambulance? Or get turned away from the hospital because the bullet wound was a pre-existing condition? Did his plan cover assassination? A vacuous statement from UHC has gotten over 33,000 laugh reacts!
There were also long, moving testimonies from clients of UnitedHealthcare about when they were denied medical care, sent enormous bills, or forced to spend months on the phone. And former call center employees recalled the ongoing pain of being forced to deny people’s claims.
The assassin fled the scene on a Citi Bike and disappeared into Central Park. Yet everyone assumed that the shooter was motivated by the near-universal hatred of these parasites. According to news reports, the bullet casings said “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” — seemingly a reference to a book called Delay, Deny, Defend about how and why insurance companies avoid paying insurance claims. The motive for the killing might be quite close to the popular imagination.
And those are the liberators and benefactors supported by some leftwings organizations. They need an ideological excorcism. No wonders that so many workers are moving away from socialism/communism because all these groups have confused completely the working class and the right wingers are getting their votes
Hit on a CEO
United provides healthcare coverage to almost 50 million people, bringing in $281 billion in revenue and paying Thompson more $10.2 million in total compensation package annually.
Normally, when someone is tragically murdered (God rest his soul), it would not be customary to mention their comp package. But it’s unfortunately relevant to this story because hordes of people have seized on this murder, acting like it was warranted because a healthcare company CEO must be, in their telling, quite evil. Some have theorized that it’s a spurned patient, someone who was deeply wronged, who may have a vendetta against Thompson. That is possible, but we don’t know enough yet.
Some people have taken to celebrating this theoretical vigilantism, like prominent journalist Taylor Lorenz, who in few words has suggested that more CEOs be gone after due to their perceived misdeeds.
When the person that has been killed is an importance figure and is rich, the police and the bourgoise media find the killer right away, or they initiate a big campaign to find the killer, and they offer big monetary rewards to find the killer
The son of sam was killing peoples in New York including women, they found him right away because the business of the mafia were being affected ( specially, prostitution, alcohols, drugs and bars ) and the mafia was going to find him before the police and it was going to show that they are ineffective
When the person killed is a poor man or a woman, and is a black person, it takes many years to find the killer, and sometimes they place in jail the wrong person and then after 20 or more years they release him because it was an error ( legal technicality ) and most of the time is a black man
When the killer is a white person, they say that is light skin, but when the killer is black they say loudly that is BLACK or a LATINO, they specifically mention a nationality even if that person was born in the USA
Malcom X used to say that when Black Americans or Latinos voted for the Republican or the Democrats they were chumps, and both ( Democrats and Republicans ) were always in a close race all the time, and recounting votes, and the Democrats needed the votes of the black and the minorities in order to resolve the impasse,
Having control of both houses ( Senate and House of Representatives ) they have never passed any reforms to benefits them including Obama who was the so called hope, it is a society based on lies, and false illusions since it was founded by oligarchs, counter revolutionaries and slaves owners
They brought Puerto ricans workers to New York as cheap labors for the textiles industries and to obtain more votes for them, and to be cannon fodder for wars , and they were not called Americans, they were called Puerto Ricans, and now they are called and island of garbages, but the Puerto Rican were close to obtaining a more progressive governor than the Democrats in this election, he was in second place by forming a coalition of left-wingers

The new cabinet of Donald Trump is composed of thieves, crooks, rapers, drugs addicts, and ex convicts but they are important figures because they have money and the president elected is a convicted felon according to the so called rules of law, in a third world ( called shithole countries ) nobody would elect a convicted felon, on the contrary, several of them have died in jail like Videla in Argentina, and Augusto Pinochet had house arrest, and Bolsonaro probably will face jail
PS In eror I posted on the wrong thread but in someway they are related, it is part of the same shit
It should have been done a long time ago, many leftwing parties have had their own podcasts for many years, some of them have a daily podcasts and I listen to them in my car or in computer hotspot,
It is much better than wasting time in Facebook which is full of commercial advertisings and pornography, hackers, troll and right wings spies and bootlickers

Pretty soon some fanatics are going to be targeting health insurance workers, as they did during the Covid 19 pandemic targeting medical students, nurses, physician assistants and medical doctors. Several specialists and internists were killed.
They never hit the capitalist class, on the contrary, they protect and love them. pure masochism.
There is a good article published on the SOYMB explaining the futility of this type of assassination and this is a very powerful industry that produce large profits and it has large wall street investments, and like a good winding clock will continue operating, they just replace the missing part,
They paid 22 millions dollars ransom to some hackers . They calculate that the loss was around 705 billions dollars, and the victim of New York was under stock trade investigation, but several members of the US congress ( the club of millionaires elected by the workers ) were involved in stocks trade too and they had to pass an act because it became public

UNAM in Mexico has a very good online education program. Argentina is one of the pioneer in long distance education

South Korea crisis
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol yesterday launched what was tantamount to a military coup. On national television at about 10.25 p.m., he announced a martial law decree, banning strikes, protests and all political activity and imposing blanket censorship. After facing immediate protests and opposition in the National Assembly, Yoon announced around 4:30 a.m. today that he would lift martial law and that troops dispatched to enforce the decree had been withdrawn.
He had several death threats of people claiming lack of coverage.
This cartel have rejected many claims, lack of coverage, and several peoples have died
Nobody knows if the killer was a relative of a dead person or a sick person, and ex employee, and he has lost coverage, or one of his claim was rejected .
That industry one day is going to blow up along with the whole capitalist system and most people are dreaming
Michael Roberts – US economy: an exceptional boom or a bubble to burst?
Ralph Nader has been mentioning for several years the take over of the medical insurance services by large corporations and the high salaries of their executives. They have laying off workers to produce more profits. Bernie Sander was blocked by the Democrats leaders to avoid his program of medicare for all and they chose a Wall Street candidate known as Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, Democrats and Republicans are interchangeables
