A quick note on the video @ >>>/leftypol/1538283
Also [vid related] for archival purposes

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

I have that one on my shelf and have been meaning to read it, although I know the general sweep of the revolution from the Adolfo Gilly book.
Womack also did an interesting book about the strands that came to form the core of neozapatismo, from the defeated insurgent communists of the Mexican 60s and 70s to the indigenous people running religious study groups that quickly cascaded into discussing their societal position.
Also fun fact: he's the grandfather of dead rapper Lil Peep lol.

If We Burn by Vincent Bevins

Book about the mass protests that spread around the world starting with the Arab Spring in 2010 to 2020 and how they largely resulted in worse conditions afterwards, including leading to the fall of the PT in Brazil and the rise of Bolsonaro thanks in great part to their rejection of organization and inability to coordinate responses.

A nice read that puts the past decade into perspective and a cautionary tale to keep in mind when planning any eventual political action or dealing with mass protests.

What's the leftypol take on this book? I'm not trolling - it's existence has haunted my life. I was raised catholic… Christianity has both ruined & saved my life and my opinions on it have only gotten more complex.

Some of the greatest art of all time has been religiously motivated. But the question of Christianity specifically is a big one. On one hand all manner of brown people are more sincerely christian than a lot of white people have ever been. It might be the one thing saving Africa right now!

But on the other hand The first Roman Empire & Greek empire were polytheistic & they might have achieved a civilizational peak that surpasses the situation we live in right now. Christianity is very homophobic & a huge portion of Europe/UK demographics are atheist & seem to be some of the happiest nations on earth. Christianity might even be the reason that the Roman Empire fell & is responsible for a lot of really bad imperialism & colonialism.

What am I supposed to make of it? Jesus was surely a good man, no? The word of god has saved homeless, sick, and morally corrupt. Where does the justification to do evil come from when people read this?

It's no different from.any other book.
Christians act like their religion invented morals and ethics.
Very solipsistic

Rich people are demons

<The man's unsubstantiated allegations of "ritualistic sacrifice" appeared in an email exchange between an apparent FBI agent and New York police detective, per the DOJ's records (the file name is "EFTA00147661" (archived)). The DOJ appeared to have removed this file from the Epstein Library after Snopes first reported this story. We contacted the department to ask why and await a reply.

Is all radfem literature like this?

This shit is some of the most ludicrous, hyperbolic grievance mongering I have ever read. There's interesting shit floating around in here, but it is drifting in a sea of "every man is a wife-beating rapist who caused all the world's problems." Even though the book is directly comparing Zionism and feminism and seems to advocate for a lady Israel, it's mostly just couched in whining about men. Dworkin doesn't even have the fucking stones to be a strong Zionist. She's one of these wishy-washy Zionists who thinks that Zionists and Palestinians can co-exist, and maybe one day Israeli and Palestinian women can come together and unite against their REAL enemy: men! (lol) (lmao)

I still prefer the mysoginist ad hominem argument.

Not only radfem literature, Marxist-feminist literature is the only kind of feminist literature that's somewhat sane.

Does one of the mods have a soft spot for Dworkin?

Like they can't rape you legally. If you have higher standards how can anyone objectify you? At least in that way

Y'all just don't wanna call a woman a gooner. Women are huge gooners. And I don't have to feel bad for a gooner that was completely your own doing so too bad. No love for whores. Just disease and gaslighting

Can't do trades. My back and shoulders are fucked from having worked in the trades. My friends in tech say it is completely jeeted and that they haven't found work in almost two years.

i cant help you anon but i was wondering the same thing. i thought civil engineering would be nice since things will always have to be built and maintained, but once it all gets outsourced if that happens im not sure my body would be able to handle construction

Unpopular opinion:every job is potentially on the chopping block due to outsourcing, automation, or a combination of both. No job is safe. Everyone should unionize.
Life is short and wage labor under capitalism is a fuck.
Do whatever you want.

It's all messed up. Having a degree doesn't guarantee anything, even in STEM. It's all a gamble really.

>all jobs are equally as bad
lol sure, is that why unionization rates are inversely related to average wage in like 99% of cases

>>25734
>just get into a trade
read it again



 

>gov't subsidizes student loans
>colleges jack up tuition prices
>outsource jobs anyway

The only power they have is scarcity. Employers do everything they can to eradicate that scarcity through immigration and outsourcing, so employees retaliating with collective action is fair game.
It's all just a big brawl between interests, there's no "real" equilibrium, and treating it as justified when one side does it but unfair when the other does makes you a fucking retard
fucking retarded

In the /b/ of Wizchan.

New version of Esochannealogy!

Extremely dangerous. Please be cautious with this technique.

Let me explain. A "magolithic" is a fragment of a soul that can be consumed. Consuming it causes a psychological change in favor of the parasitic soul.

This object, also called an esocanaleological horcrux, grants a form of immortality to the soul, in the sense of preserving it.

Take QAnon, for example. Did it help Donald Trump? Yes. But not for free—there was a price. QAnon generated multiple versions of its soul from its magolithic. Some of those versions invaded the Capitol. It's a sad story, but an illuminating one.

In the end, QAnon's magolithic isn't made up only of its supporters. Those who oppose it also feed it, ensuring its psychological imprint endures through time.

Similarly, movements like the MBL/Mission believe they possess a tool that makes them more powerful—and they do. They aren't charging money, only souls. Just as QAnon only charged that from its followers and Trump.

Whether you call it the "Deep State" or "Global Cabal" doesn't matter. The magolithic devours the soul of whoever consumes it.

Here is the crucial lesson: QAnon did not give power to Trump and his followers for free. It did not provide a good reason to justify him. It destroyed millions of families, consumed millions of lives, led to the radicalization of millions, and created something we might call a "singularity."

All of it came at a cost: whoever consumes its magolithic corrupts their own soul by assimilating the soul of QAnon. Likewise, whoever consumes my magolithic may assimilate countless psychological tactics, but in the end, they will be corrupting their own soul.

This thing is literally everywhere.
