پیشرفت تکنولوژی

یکی‌ از فوائد عصر کامپیوتر دسترسی به اطلاعات و اخبار است که گاهی‌ بطور رایگان توسط شرکت‌های غیر انتفاعی مانند ویکیپدیا در دسترس کسانی‌ که به آن اطلاعات علاقه دارند قرار می‌گیرد. بسیاری از آگاهی‌های تاریخی، همچون زیست‌نامه یا بیوگرافی‌، را می‌توان از این شبکه دریافت کرد. یکی‌ دیگر از شبکه‌های اینترنتی که کاربرد آن همواره رو به افزایش است، گوگل می‌باشد. با نوشتن یک واژه یا جمله در گوگل می‌توان اطلاعات وسیعی در مورد آن واژه یا جمله کسب کرد. گرچه گوگل یک شرکت انتفاعی است و درآمد آن از تبلیغات است، ولی‌ فردِ استفاده کننده از این تسهیلات به ندرت متوجهٔ آن تبلیغ می‌شود. هر دوی این شبکه‌ها را می‌توان قرن بیست و یکمی نامید، چرا که گوگل دو سال پیش از پایان قرن بیستم، و ویکیپدیا از نخستین سال این قرن با ما بوده‌ا‌ند. افرادی‌ که مطالب این دو شبکه را می‌نویسند متنوع و آگاه می‌باشند، بخصوص که مطالب هر دو این سازمان‌ها را می‌توان به چالش کشید. جالب اینجاست که بسیاری از شبکه‌های اینترنتی را می‌توان به چندین زبان که در دنیا مُحاوره می‌شوند، از جمله زبان فارسی، جستجو کرد.ا

The Iran War has claimed thousands of lives, most of them in Iran itself. The war has cost Iran as much as $300 billion in economic damage. For its part, the Pentagon spent nearly $44 billion through mid-September to wreak that amount of havoc. For advocates of the war—but no one else—that’s a good return on investment.

Trump’s Destruction of the National Security Process

Melvin Goodman
In 1947, the U.S. Congress passed the National Security Act, which created the National Security Council, the Department of Defense, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Central Intelligence Agency.  These institutions were often misused during the worst days of the Cold War and, more recently, in the Global War on Terror.  Nevertheless, there are historical records on the decision making that took place, and there were successes in such fields as arms control and disarmament as well as the building of national security alliances in Europe and Asia.

“The School That Became a Grave”: Jeremy Scahill on U.S Bombing of Minab, Killing 120+ Iranian Kids

October 2, 2026
Drop Site News released a major investigation this week into the U.S. bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh children’s school in the Iranian city of Minab on February 28, the first day of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Drop Site spoke to survivors, first responders, parents and witnesses in one of the most in-depth reports on the massacre to date. The bombing killed at least 156 people — 120 of the victims were children, 26 were teachers, and the rest were parents. A United Nations fact-finding mission recently concluded that the U.S. strike was a war crime, but the Trump administration has not yet even acknowledged U.S. responsibility.

Marxian Ecology and the Critique of AI Capital

      October 1, 2026
In addressing Marxian ecology and the critique of the fetishism of so-called artificial intelligence or AI, it is important to place this in the context of the present age of accumulation under monopoly-finance capital. The rise of AI capital does not represent, as contemporary ideology would have us believe, a new, technologically determined, rationally organized capitalist system, to which it is useless to offer resistance.1 Rather, today’s alienated AI capital constitutes an irrational shift from order to disorder in human ecological and social relations on the local, global, and planetary levels. Not only does computational capitalism promise to disrupt the entire work environment, pointing to growing joblessness and increased exploitation, exacerbating class and imperial polarization on a global basis, but we are seeing, even more ominously, a further rupture in the human relation to the earth of which humanity is itself an emergent part.
