Chthonic_Goat_666 posted:im not reading this atm but i just recently found something interesting secondhand, "Selected Poems" by Evgeny Vinokurov, published 1979 by Progress Publishers Moscow. theres not really much info about him online, but he was a soviet poet born 1925 and served in the second world war. anyone know anything about him? would anyone be interested in a transcription? poetrys not really my thing but i like making stuff like this more available, there's about 90 poems here...
never heard of him but id be interested in seeing the book. progress publishers stuff is always worth looking at if you find it, i've got a copy of mayakovsky's longform lenin poem published by them that is good and has the original russian alongside the english translation

John Stoltenberg's crazy ass. he has some decent writing on porno but it's super outdated.
and an entertaining one from 1978: Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions by Larry Mitchell

the ideology is detestable and typical writerly booj "change yourself thru psychedelics" + Terrence McKenna nonsense. but that isn't to say "don't read it", it has a lot of entertainment value

O.Ü.: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think what you say is China still enjoys a sort of sovereignty thanks to the legacy of Mao era. So, how do you evaluate the role of foreign direct investments (FDIs) in today’s China? Because FDIs have long been considered as an important driving force of China’s rapid GDP growth in post-Mao era.
F.E.: I think this view is really far-fetched. I mean, the reality is far from that. FDIs really play some role in China, but I think many scholars just overplay that. What China actually does is stealing technology. Pirating is the biggest advantage of China. The reason that China develops much faster than other Third World countries is when you have a sovereign economic base, military sovereignty and political sovereignty, copying is much faster than innovating. So you can do a leap forward; you can take the shortcut. Instead of starting with the landlines, you can go straight to mobile. Instead of starting with the VCRs, you can go straight to VCD or DVD recorders. Even Chinese film industry totally depends on pirating Hollywood movies today.
Let me clarify my point with examples: McDonald’s, for example, came in. Chinese learned from that. Today, Chinese fast-food industry kicks the ass of McDonald’s. Or FedEx came in. Now, it has already been beaten by Chinese express delivery companies. The examples can be multiplied. But the thing is, what makes these possible is that you have a sovereign control over the key sectors in your country.

“Welcome to the world of strategic analysis,” Ivan Selin used to tell his team during the Sixties, “where we program weapons that don’t work to meet threats that don’t exist.” Selin, who would spend the following decades as a powerful behind-the-scenes player in the Washington mandarinate, was then the director of the Strategic Forces Division in the Pentagon’s Office of Systems Analysis....
“OK,” wrote Jeffrey Carr, the CEO of cybersecurity firm Taia Global, in a derisive blog post on the case. “Raise your hand if you think that a GRU or FSB officer would add Iron Felix’s name to the metadata of a stolen document before he released it to the world while pretending to be a Romanian hacker.” As Carr, a rare skeptic regarding the official line on the hacks, explained to me, “They’re basically saying that the Russian intelligence services are completely inept. That one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing, that they have no concern about using a free Russian email account or a Russian server that has already been known to be affiliated with cybercrime. This makes them sound like the Keystone Cops. Then, in the same breath, they’ll say how sophisticated Russia’s cyberwarfare capabilities are.”
