🗽UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<Happy Türkiye Day Edition


🏈 💵Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich and the pedophile Hitlerite-Zionist clique of the American bourgeoisie and its iron grip upon the greatest bigliest country McGod™ ever gave McMan™ on the face of the McEarth™🌭 🍔

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.

<Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™

>Europoor

It's becoming increasingly clear that the majority of proles in Europe and North America are being brainwashed by their phones into believing immigration is the biggest issue in their countries. I have largely ignored this issue, as I don't really think it matters but then, last night, there was a lumpen riot in Dublin against an IPAS centre in which a foreign national who had been denied asylum and was told to "self-deport" had apparantly raped a 10 year old girl who was under state care. I usually don't believe a lot of the lies told about "migrants" online but this case makes me feel particularly uncomfortable.

It was a clear failure from the neoliberal Irish government and it's institutions that allowed something like this to happen. Why wasn't this man deported immediately after being denied asylum? Too expensive, apparently. Why was this man allowed to be in a situation where he could sexually abuse a child? Why is this man in my country in the first place? Ofc, the Free State institutions are keeping silent on it, pissing off people even more.

So, how do leftists feel about immigration and the current asylum process? Obviously, I understand this wouldn't be an issue if western corps weren't raping the third world but I also think there is a discussion to be had. Are open borders in the current world really working? Would they work post-capitalism? How do you feel about immigration, positively or negatively?

You cant have socialism without collective ownership. Collective ownership requires democracy.

>>2575613
so you support democracy then?

>>2575616
Of course. All power to Soviets but I mean it unlike Bolsheviks.

>>2575621
okay, so in this thread there are left-wing democrats and right-wing non-democratic people who both call themselves "communists", so its bewildering.

The modern dysgenic, ugly, fat acceptance worshipping shitlib gendergoblin left is in antithesis to true Communism. Communists should always strive for beauty, health, cultural and aesthetic perfection.
<Man at last will begin to harmonize himself in earnest. He will make it his business to achieve beauty by giving the movement of his own limbs the utmost precision, purposefulness and economy in his work, his walk and his play. He will try to master first the semiconscious and then the subconscious processes in his own organism, such as breathing, the circulation of the blood, digestion, reproduction, and, within necessary limits, he will try to subordinate them to the control of reason and will. This is entirely in accord with evolution. Man first drove the dark elements out of industry and ideology, by displacing barbarian routine by scientific technique, and religion by science.
Man will make it his purpose to master his own feelings, to raise his instincts to the heights of consciousness, to make them transparent, to extend the wires of his will into hidden recesses, and thereby to raise himself to a new plane, to create a higher social biologic type, or, if you please, a superman.
<Social construction and psycho-physical self-education will become two aspects of one and the same process. All the arts – literature, drama, painting, music and architecture will lend this process beautiful form. More correctly, the shell in which the cultural construction and self-education of man will be enclosed, will develop all the vital elements of contemporary art to the highest point. Man will become immeasurably stronger, wiser and subtler; his body will become more harmonized, his movements more rhythmic, his voice more musical. The forms of life will become dynamically dramatic. The average human type will rise to the heights of an Aristotle, a Goethe, or a Marx. And above this ridge new peaks will rise. - Greater Dynamics under Socialism, 1924, USSR.

>This is not a threat but a simple statement of fact. Workers in Europe, Japan, South Korea and the US need jobs. We do not want our economic development to go into reverse. And even if we did not care, without exports, we will eventually run out of ways to pay China for our imports.

You will pay with your land and women, filthy westoid laowai. Either you embrace socialism like China did, or collapse into comrador kingdoms and warlords. March of progress is unstoppable, and time is the fairest judge of all; capitalism cannot survive socialism's unshackled might

Adapt or fucking die. Modern civilization is coming for your job, healthcare, housing, and clean air.

>The only good solutions lie with Beijing. It could take action to overcome deflation in its own economy, to remove structural barriers to domestic consumption, to let its exchange rate appreciate and to halt the billions in subsidies and loans it directs towards industry. That would be good for the Chinese people, too, whose living standards are sacrificed to make the country more competitive.

Pffft, yet another China understander. I bet he thinks that Chinese are worse off simply because their wages in exchange rate USDs is lower

>>2575451
>nooooo deflation is LE BAD, you should want everything to increase in price every year while wages don’t grow to match
>nooooo you can’t use the exchange rate system we constructed against us
>nooooo you can’t use subsidies only we can do that

Daily reminder that Xi drinks (((alcohol))). It's the liquid jew.

>>2575540
>nooooo deflation is LE BAD,
A layman would think that consumer goods getting cheaper is LE GOOD until they lose their job and have to sell their house. High deflation is bad for economic growth as spending/investments would decrease due to consumers/investors saving money by postponing spending until absolutely necessary. High inflation works the other way by forcing people spend money before goods/investments become even more costly. Money increases value during deflation and assets increase value during inflation and vice versa.
>you should want everything to increase in price every year
Central Banks have 2% inflation targets so there is less risk of deflation. 0% would be optimal but risk of runaway deflation forces these institutions to keep this safety margin.
>while wages don’t grow to match
Unions at least here negotiate wage increases to meet inflation or above it.



 

"turns out conservatives and reactionaries are just dumb after all" edition.

news:
- Your Party is suing itself, more at 11.
- The SNP and Plaid are going to form a "progressive alliance" somehow
- The government's going to do a switcheroo by raising income tax slightly and cutting national insurance to balance it out. (But they won't - follow this to its logical conclusion and scrap NI entirely)
- They're also considering cutting VAT on energy bills (which is the least efficient way of lowering bills you can imagine)
- The board of deputies asked Aston Villa for free footy tickets. In a worrying sign of rising antisemitism, Aston said nah.
- Labour is falling behind the Greens in the opinion polls as their strategy of copying Reform drives away their already-begrudging supporters without winning over any Reform voting reprobates. Nobody could have predicted this.

There will always be Communists who side with Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc in general support for national liberation movements.
There will always be Communists who side with Luxemburg, Pannekoek, Bordiga, etc and oppose it for varying reasons.
And of course there will always be those who take a stance somewhere in-between on the national question, such as the followers of Trotsky.

We can argue the theoretical positions for the rest of our lives while quoting one pamphlet or another.
But regardless of the theoretical positions, all Communists are opposed to the ongoing genocide, settler colonialism, racial apartheid and we all support armed revolutionary resistance to imperialism. Even if we disagree on what the eventual state in Palestine should be like.
Instead of the autistic and pointless infighting which is fine during times of relative calm, during a time of crisis like the present isn't it better that we focus on more urgent matters and wider issues facing Palestine today which unite us?
Rather than this focus on the specifics of the character of the nation that ultimately emerges, which is something we currently have no influence over given most factions in Palestine are not Marxist but Islamist in nature?

Every day there are more stories of "Israeli" and American atrocities against the Palestinians, every day the situation on the ground changes.
This isn't the time for hypotheticals, we must deal with the situation as we find it.

>according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ,

Really bro, that's your reasoning? Your religious texts said we'll all live happily ever after?

>>2575177
Every second sentence Cutrone says is wrong. Literally NO ONE believed Hamas was ever going to win a military war against Isn’treal. The beauty of October )th was that it proved Zionism is a paper tiger.

>>2574696
As I have stated multiple times before, the USSR considered Traditional Physical Anthropology (ie. Craniometric Racial Typology) to be a legitimate Science and Soviet textbooks recognized Race as a Biological concept, with the massive caveat that they explicitly clarified that the Biological concept of Race has nothing to do with the Bourgeois Social construct of “Intelligence”, a Superstructural concept that constantly changes based on the needs of the Material Base (Mode of Production), with an individuals “Intelligence” being purely a result of their Environment/Upbringing/Material Conditions, so their is absolutely nothing wrong with modern Population Genetics (ie. The Autosomal DNA Ancestry Component Charts I posted) from the standpoint of Dialectical Materialist Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, in fact anyone who rejects Science is not a Real Communist (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist), and is instead either a White Evangelical Protestant Christian Zionist Nationalist Sexist Homophobic Racist Flat Earth Creationist Fascist Republican MAGAtard who wants to go back to the 19th century Dickensian Factory Towns, Women in the Kitchen, Sodomy laws, and Jim Crow, or a Postmodern Foucauldian Liberal Idealist Anarchist who wants everyone to live in a Hippie Commune, thus proving that the rejection of any Science (including Population Genetics) will prevent you from embracing the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest stage of Marxist Science, and begin traveling the Scientifically proven Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

>>2575247
During the Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR, all those who reject the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the highest stage of Marxism, including all Religious Clergy such as Priests/Ministers/Monks/Nuns/Imams/Rabbis (In the future Global USSR, all Religion will be Illegal and all Churches/Mosques/Synagogues/Temples/Pagodas will be Bulldozed/Burnt down) and all Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists, will be arrested by the International Red Guards and forced to march through the streets wearing Dunce Caps and attend Struggle Sessions on their way to the Re-education camps where they will be Re-educated to embrace the Immortal Science of MaPost too long.
