I can’t fucking stand nihilists!
As much as I hate the “Pick yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality I also hate the opposite which is nihilism which is just the mentality that “We are all doomed so just give up.” You can’t have blind optimism and be a slave to the system but you also can’t have no optimism and ultimately not fight the system at all.MAKE CHINA GLOBAL AMEN
MCGA100 percent employment LE BAD
one of the biggest things they teach in bourgeois economics is that "actually 100% employment is BAD! because it means people can't quit their jobs if they want to and the supply of labor in the labor market will be too low!" I see it dropped casually like it's just a matter-of-fact by people, especially "influencers" who aren't even bourgeois or economists because it's repeated so often. I hate this myth so fucking much for so many reasons, but it's obviously functioning as an ideological justification for the reserve army of labor whether the people repeating it realize that or not (they usually don't even know what the reserve army of labor is). People quit their jobs because their wages are too low, instead of getting organized, because getting organized is harder than quitting and begging another porky for a job. Then when they're begging porky for another job, which can take literally months, they are getting application after application rejected for no good reason, and finally they get desperate and accept a job that is as bad or even worse than their previous job. Most people desire stable employment and a living wage and only quit their job because their wage is shit. So saying or implying that having an unemployment rate of 5-10% is "good" because "people can quit their jobs due to high mobility in the labor market!" functions to justify this state of affairs./ukr/ - Russia-Ukraine War General #269

NeuigkeitenPrimitive Society Simulator
Primitive Society Simulator is a historical society-building game that lets players guide a prehistoric tribe from a simple communal existence to a stratified civilization. It begins in an egalitarian “primitive communist” stage, where resources, labor, and tools are shared, and there is little distinction between individuals. As the tribe develops agriculture, metalworking, and trade, it begins to produce surpluses, allowing some members to specialize as craftsmen, warriors, or leaders.Fucking stirnites

Thread dedicated to /leftypol/ original content.Why isn't China funneling money to combat anti-communist propaganda in the west/
Why isn't China funneling money to combat anti-communist propaganda in the west? Or anti-chinese propaganda? Or anything like that? All they do is whine about the confucious institute but its clearly not doing jackshit since sinophobia and anti-communism continue to be rampant. Where are the think tanks? Why aren't they financing channels to screw over the algorhytmn? Why? If they're doing something or anything at all its not enough. Anywhere east of Russia is generally an anti-communist shithole that holds no respect for China and millions of citizens brainwashed into pro-American slopaganda about how China's "stealing technology from the US", "China is totalitarian surveillence undemocratic state when west is freedumz n freeze peach", "Russia aggressor 2022 Putin dictator" "Hummus antisemitism". Why is China letting this retardation continue? Its only fueling the retardation war machine and conditioning the retarded to die for retardation. Why come China is just letting anti-chinese and anti-communist propaganda flood the internet? China is literally winning on all grounds except propaganda, why hasn't it solidified its global importance by financing anti-western sentinment? Why do we have to be forced to listen and see all this retarded bullshit and argue with it to no avail when China has the power to finance cointel to win the information war?

No man has been slandered so much in the history of science. The class enemy and their pseudo-intellectuals pour mud and shit on the man who dared to call a spade a spade - that biology is on firm Marxist-Leninist principles. That we did not create Marxism-Leninism, but that it is Marxism-Leninism that created us. Dialetical materialist understanding of the flora and fauna was forged with Great Darwin’s evolution theory. It was sharpened into a fine blade Engels’ brilliant ‘Part played by labour in the transition from ape to man’. Comrade Lysenko gallantly wielded the Immortal Science and embarked on steppe-wide crusade against scarcity amd famine. And the treat lovers hated him for it, they still do. No, no, no! No abundance of wheat, rice, and corn for the asiatic hordes and the African specimen! How dare they! Funko Pops for me, Famine Poop for thee! By burying Lysenko , and promoting Monsanto debauchery in the fields, by bullying Bohm-deBroglie and promoting the Heisenberg-Bohr mystic mafia in reactors, the Treatlerites secured the Century for themselves. But we must not be afraid. We must uphold the Great Men of Science. As Neruda’s pen truthfully carved: To be Man - that is the Stalinist Law !How popular is this horrible reactionary sentiment among the left globally?
So, in addition to the contingent of people who think that Native Americans don’t exist anymore and were all genocided (which ironically is US government propaganda to justify its continued settler-colonial occupation of indigenous land), there also seems to be a contingent of people who thinks that all people in the US regardless of race, *even Native Americans*, are irredeemable and unrevolutionary and should even be killed, such as the posts I’ve circled in the two screenshots I attached. While I could completely get behind white people in the US either leaving to Europe or being killed or should just be killed in general when revolution comes, (and I say this as a white settler myself), and that even manyBlack people in the US still contribute to US imperialism, how on earth could you have this little intellectual curiosity and empathy for the plight of indigenous peoples in the so-called US. I mean come on, thousands of completely unique languages foodways, ways of music and art, and beautiful people were and are continuing to be destroyed for the sake of building the most horrible and destructive empire on the history of earth, and instead of having empathy for those whose lands it is built on, you say you want to continue said evil empire’s genocide all while claiming to oppose said evil empire, just because a small comprador class of Native Americans aligns with US imperialism. I mean even if you don’t care about the people themselves, which you should, shouldn’t you care for the sake of intellectualism about thousands of distinct languages and cultures?
Why do people call out the fact that the US is irredeemable
and founded on genocide of indigenous people and enslavement of Black people, but then explicitly or implicitly claim that said Black and Native people are exploiters of the third world, in order to imply that revolution is impossible in the US *even among black and native people*. In addition, why do the people opposing the claims of revolution being impossible in the US bring up the conditions of all working-class people in the US in general, instead of specifically that of Black and Native people. Idk, it seems like there used to be a coherent position on the left that revolution among *white* people specifically in the US was impossible, but that revolution among colonized people in the US was possible and necessary, but now it’s been subsumed into both of the positions I’m talking about. Also, it seems like a lot of people take the government propaganda that every single Native American died and there are none left today at face value in order to argue that *all* people in the US are unrevolutionary settlers, what’s up with that? Sorry, I know I’m being really reductive, this has just been bothering me for a really long time and I want some answers.Free China (Taiwan) isn't going anywhere

El mejor thread de ChileThe Materialist Anti-Religion / The Materialist Anti-Superstition / The Materialist Mission of Revan
The Materialist Anti-Religion / The Materialist Anti-Superstition / The Materialist Mission of Revanchism is the belief that all religious and spiritual people will go to a manmade hell in the future after death unless they stop believing in religion, god/gods, spirituality and instead embrace materialism. The hell will be constructed as punishment for their rejection of science, technology, development and for their stagnation, regress and conflict they have brought upon civilization for millenias. They will all be revived in the future by means of reverse engineering from an advanced civilization of anti-theist materialists and punished in a hell constructed by the materialists indefinitely in every possible way.

As a white guy myself I don’t know I don’t know what these people are trying to do, you constantly see white Nationalists pointing to declining white birth rates and it’s just so stupid for 3 reasons. #1 Race is not real, it’s just a social construct and since racists go by the One drop role white people can only decrease, and so a declining white population is inevitable with globalization weather you like it or not although everyone being multi-racial like that South Park episode will never happen in our lifetime, #2 This could be slowed down if there was not so much immigration but ICE won’t stop immigration, if you want to stop immigration you stop exploiting the global south with free trade, military intervention, and inadvertently destroying them by burning fossil fuels. #3 Why does white people decreasing even matter? Yeah race is not real but skin color is and they say that the skin color is going away due to interracial fucking but why is this bad? I’m saying it’s good but I don’t see how it’s bad either. I’m white and I can’t get poked in the arm without getting a bruise and I also can’t go outside without getting sunburned, yeah I get visible tattoos but other than that what physical advantages are these people trying to preserve? The fact is that there is none because they’re ideology is an excuse for the ruling class to distract the proletariat from the exploitation that they are facing.Why communist no wear military uniform anymore

Just finished this show and it has become one of my favorites. On the surface this anime appears to be trash anime packed full of fan service, but on watching it the so called "trash anime" is brimming with substance. excellent character design, badass soundtrack, and one of the satisfying endings I have seen in a long time. This show can make a scene of a butt naked woman running around killing enemy's with nothing but her toe nail feel empowering and not at all exploitative and fan servicey. What are your guys opinion on the show?
