Neither party gets anything for their support and they never will. The DSA is supposed to do what's called a dirty break where they use the Democrats resources and clout to get elected then break with the party and become independent candidates, but they don't even do that. Rather they just funnel votes and support into a far right imperialist party for no benefit at all.

The "C"PUSA doesn't even pretend to do that, they just funnel their support into a far right imperialist party which is guilty of multiple genocides and then wonder why they're completely irrelevant and dead.

I hate the CPUSA more than any party in America and it's not just because CPUSAnon is a member. They are wreckers who exist to funnel the energy of the left into imperialism, which they seek to use as a tool to enrich the American homeland at the expense of everyone else on earth. They know this, they understand it and they still support it even after decades of it doing nothing but killing the left. They are an anti-communist party that should be physically liquidated by any means necessary.

I think you're right but you also seem really emotional and like your priorities are all over the place. They don't have shit for members, and their members are mostly old, right? They aren't even effective at their mission of funneling energy into imperialism, since there aren't that many people who join them in the first place. The vast majority of people, as you already point out, don't even bother joining the left-wreckers, they join the openly and explicitly imperialist DNC and GOP, either directly as registered party members, or indirectly, by staying "independent" but nevertheless only voting for DNC and GOP candidates. In your mind, the "C"PUSA is way more powerful than it is, because there's this supposed "revolutionary" energy that's getting "funneled" into imperialism, but the way you talk the other half of the time, there is no revolutionary energy to funnel into imperialism in the first place, because America Must Be Destroyed and so on and so forth.

fetterman 2 is optimistic, he's contesting a republican stalwart from the bush era. he's probably going to lose. in light of this there would be no material consequences to staying the course even if he's scuffed, in practice of course he's seriously alienating to idealists, and it doesn't make intuitive sense to run such an obvious wrecker.

the unions in maine like him. this is not unexpected because they represent automotive and shipyard workers primarily employed making military vehicles and boats. this is also why he's a china hawk and playing up his veterancy.

electoral politics, representative democracy, the party machine, everything is obviously rigged against the left. it's still a game that needs to be played, if only to dispel the illusion of consent. every seat denied to trump makes the road to dictatorship in 2029 a little bit harder.

>>2584134
the dems can either sell a clawback of trumpist policy or get owned by greens and PSL. the play for the repubs is to illegally run trump to galvanise the dem vote and block left populists from gaining a balance of power position that would quickly expose the defacto coalition of dems and repubs.

Is it impossible to be unbiased? Or is it rather that a prevalence of biased sources makes it difficult to arrive at the truth?

If we were to say that it is impossible to be unbiased, then how do you arrive at objective truth? Is it to be self-aware and honest about these biases and then to adjust? Doesn‘t this necessitate knowledge about objective truth beforehand to be able to make such an adjustment? And wouldn‘t that be a contradiction to the initial claim that it is impossible to be unbiased?

> obviously not
Then we’re in agreement. You overcome your biases in service of what you consider “true” which many people already do including people who don’t believe it’s possible to completely get rid of all biases.
> submitting to them
OK, but you already established you submit to the idea of an “objective truth” politically.

>>2581403
This is the most thought provoking philosophical post I've seen on any chan in over a decade. I think the answer to this lies in the discernment of every contribution to the question, and I only have a metaphysical one. Each of us has a different starting point, so we are prone to bias. Orientation provides context which aids navigation but its expression is often lost in translation, so objectivity lies in careful evaluation of circumstance, which itself is subject to bias. Objective truth in this case is discernment of lived experience. Some claim to know this from their understanding of God, but from my perspective these don't appear to understand from experience aside from academic endeavors. I say objective truth can always be sought but never fully possessed, and seeking it can help overcome various cognitive biases, but nobody can it hold all within themselves. How's that?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBmA705ULjc

>>2581403
IMO objective truth does exist but reality is so insanely complex that humans cannot fully grasp it. We just can't perceive or measure all of it. We can only get closer and closer to the truth. So accounting for biases and shortcomings in perception requires endless iteration and revision.

I can't find it online, but there's a pic of a Falangist rally in Madrid in this book that was against the USSR in 1941 at the onset of the German invasion, and the front row of guys in it was a mix of slick-looking guys (nice suits, well cut), guys with paramilitary uniforms with straps across their chests, and then some absolute zoot-suit looking gangsters.

>I posted Haz mainly because I think he kind of already falls into this camp or, if not, risks falling into it more than most other "Communist" parties.

I mean just look at the aesthetics of the pic you posted. All black outfit. This weirdly ritualized / wedding ceremony stage dressing.

People say "saying aesthetics = politics" is a fascist thing. I don't agree with that exactly. It's more that fascists took ritualized political aesthetics to an extreme, although aesthetics are a constituent part of political ideologies and to understand them requires some attention to their aesthetic dimension.

The biggest rebutal I see in the eyes of the average person to "socialism" and "communism" is that it's utopic, that it relies on bad assumptions, that it doesn't work in reality etc. In essence, that we're advocating for something that can't be and that we have no alternative to capitalism.
And, to that effect, what are we even advocating for ? It appears to me that we have a bunch of different movements with many different goals that don't actually ressemble one another. Yet, despite this, very few of these movements have actual "models", it just seems like they want to reform or do a revolution for the sake of action rather than purpose.
Shouldn't we concentrate on clear objectives and goals before having all this talk about how marxism-leninism-maoism-gonzalo thought is superior to cybernetic-trotskism-councilism in achieving [we run into the problem here]?

>inb4 abolition of private property, abolition of capitalism, abolition of alienation

We can't actually base our objectives around these vagues goals though, or at least not at the current time and at the forefront. Abolition of private property doesn't mean anything if there's no framework to offer an alternative or to replace it. Marx laid us many goals but, given that he didn't specify what or how, shouldn't it be up to us to conceptualize the type of system which we want in accordance with the relevant theories he proposed.

Apart from small intellectuals scattered everywhere (Cockshott, Schweickart etc), there seems to be an evident lack of clear model that actually adresses the critique of marx's ambitions and dismisses its apparent utopianism.

They don't though. They propose many reforms but they fundamentally don't have a way to coordinate labor whilst simultaneously negating private property.

>What do you think of a social network as a sort of hub for direct voluntary organisation of labour
That's a bit like parecon. Imo it could work but it's highly idealistic if it aims to suppress the bulk of production.
I could see it however in a socialist or post-capitalist setting progressively supplanting small services

>>2581203
>Imo it could work but it's highly idealistic if it aims to suppress the bulk of production.
>I could see it however in a socialist or post-capitalist setting progressively supplanting small services
Yeah, of course, it would be impossible to supplant the bulk of production instantaneously. But it is something that could as you say progressively supplant services, and work in conjunction with state seizure. As an alternative economic model it does have possibilities, and could constitute the slow withering of state control of industry.
Something I haven't seen proposed from people purely interested in taking control of the political apparatus. Both are required.

This thread is a great place to repost my very relevant Effort post about the “Aesthetics of Communism” from my thread of the same title https://leftypol.org/leftypol/res/2545468.html , ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

This Effort Post will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead completely destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), 🤔? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR 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 Post too long.
