jean luc melenchon misremembers the plot of bladerunner
Blade Runner est une métaphore de la condition humaine, écrite par Philip K. Dick. Le personnage principal pourchasse des androïdes pour les détruire. À un moment, il est gagné par le doute lorsqu’il se rend compte qu’il est peut-être lui-même un androïde. Ces androïdes cherchaient leur auteur pour lui demander la date de leur mort. Nous, nous cherchons aussi des choses improbables car nous sommes incapables du Carpe diem. Avec la naissance de l’intelligence artificielle, cette œuvre est d’actualité. Nous découvrons qu’une machine peut être intelligente. Le problème, ce n’est pas qu’un robot nous remplace. C’est de se comporter comme un robot.

also philip k dick didn't write bladerunner! he wrote do androids dream of electric sheep, which was adapted into bladerunner (stealing the title of a separate story by a different author), and i don't think any of the relevant works involve the exact plot he describes there lol

The key questions will be over the economy, monarchy, Atlanticism. The Green Right will oppose the policy consequences of an “ecosocialist party” – committing to common ownership of big businesses and banks, a republic, nonalignment by closing all the US bases and leaving NATO.

So we see with LFI and the French Left a different use of the word programme to mean something more like a general election manifesto. But it acts as a programme in the tradition of a minimum programme for taking power. (Without it being implemented, remain in opposition.)

And the programme – including the proposal for a constituent process –was used as the minimum requirement for forming a government in coalition negotiations after the election. The demand of LFI was that the programme would be implemented in full if it participated in government.

The proposal of much of the French Left (not just LFI, also PCF) is not just for the election of a leftwing government but for it to transform the state from within the presidency and National Assembly by calling elections to a constituent assembly to draw up a new constitution.

If you are interested in what’s happening with the Greens then this is, as ever, worth your time. The programme idea is discussed –but the party already has one, Policies for a Sustainable Society? (No longer public on the website.) A few thoughts on this… 🧵
How do we build the Green Party into an Ecosocialist Party? I spoke to @josephalextodd about this. Now on Youtube *& Spotify*, for all of you people who don't want to stare at our faces for an hour.

Luxemburg tried to ban any internal opposition whenever she had any personal power, the Warsaw chapter was dissolved for disagreeing with her leadership of the SDKPiL
I side with Luxemburg over Lenin tbh, suspending elections or banning opposition parties during or after a socialist revolution is indefensible. The goal is working-class liberation: abolish private ownership of the means of production and build socialism through plural elections

Replying to @turbomander
no you see this is an advanced version of the joke where the teller lacks a partner and sets up the audience to deliver what they believe to be the punchline but is in fact additional context-sensitive setup which the teller then uses to subvert the expectation that they'd rememb

Boomer coworker made a Who’s On First reference but forgot who was on third and when I said “I don’t know” he took that as me not getting the reference. I had to stand there and nod along as he poorly explained the bit and went off about how my generation ruined comedy
