On "identity politics"

The counter-culture revolution did not end, it simply turned inward. After the 1970s it became clear that the Empire was far too vast and powerful to destroy through use of external force, so the counter-culture retreated and reformulated their strategy - instead of trying to liberate the world, they would liberate their own minds. Knowledge would be their weaponry, knowledge about the world but more importantly knowledge about themselves. Every lie they were programmed to believe about who they were and what their lives meant would be called into question, analyzed, deconstructed, traced back to its origins, and irrevocably refuted with undeniable logic and empirical evidence. When the Empire became aware of what they were doing it correctly interpreted this on an attack on its very foundations and predictably retaliated with its conventional tactics of violence and disinformation, thus began the Culture War that we now find ourselves in. But thus far the counterattack has been wild and flailing and largely ineffective, failing to identify a strategic target, the so-called "Woke Mind Virus" seeming to originate from everywhere at once with no central source. The Empire's greatest weakness is its inhumanity, its inability to see inside of the human mind and understand human psychology; the Empire is solipsistic and behaviorist, it does not recognize the human spirit, it only sees people as subordinate machines that must be conditioned to behave and obey. Nurse Ratched can stop the patients in the ward from watching the baseball game, but she cannot stop them from pretending to watch it and cheering and roaring in delight at a blank television screen.

What you dismiss as "identity politics", as some minor irrelevant distraction from the revolution-to-be, is in fact the front lines of the very real and current Revolution. The Revolution is not some future external event like the Christian rapture, it is happening right now and has always been happening since the beginning of history. The Revolution takes place in the mind - the protests, the riots, the dissenting literature, all of those things are just outward expressions of it. And the Revolution has been slowly but surely succeeding, the Empire's grip gradually weakening day by day as the People gain more knowledge, learning things that cannot be unlearned, speaking truths that cannot be unspoken. Because real Truth is eternal and absolute, it cannot be corrupted and it stands on its own whereas lies are ephemeral and require continuous maintenance to sustain and eventually crumble under their own weight. Only a few decades ago, things like neurodivergence and homosexuality were treated as sicknesses to be eradicated and those who were "afflicted" with these so-called diseases were outcast from society and their voices were never heard and they themselves were conditioned to believe that they were worthless freaks of nature with no place in the world who must either conform or die. People with brown skin were conditioned to believe that they were subhuman savages biologically incapable of full-fledged humanity, that their place in the world was to be servile beasts of burden for the superior white race. Women were conditioned to believe that their sole purpose in life was to be brood mares for men. Trans/non-binary/intersex people were conditioned to believe that they were mentally deranged and their innermost beliefs about themselves were an elaborate self-induced hallucination. The pseudoscience that was invented to reinforce these ideas ultimately began to crumble, as lies always do, when true science emerged that refuted them and the only response that the Empire could muster was to deny the existence of reality entirely and retreat even further into solipsism. Someone is losing ground here.

You may find it difficult to empathize with these people and their struggles because it is someone else's ox being gored and not yours, but you need to remember that you are no different from they are, not really. They are human beings and you are a human being and all human lives are inexorably connected just like any other species of animal, regardless of what the Empire would have you believe. An attack on one human's autonomy is an attack on autonomy itself. And when people call attention to the possibility that you yourself may in fact be speaking from a position of privilege when you dismiss other people's struggles and concerns and you perceive it as an attack on your own identity, consider the possibility that perhaps your reaction might not be a logical reaction but a defensive kneejerk reaction, consider the possibility that your mind, like every mind, has been touched and manipulated to some extent by the Empire and that perhaps these people are not trying to attack you but trying to help you, trying to expand your intelligence, perhaps they don't see you as the enemy but as potential allies and they want you and need you on their side.

Is there something positive about the Zionist entity from a historical point of view? I mean there are a lot of episodes in history where one could could call evil (the mongols, Nazism etc') but there were still some positive things about these events.

i dont know what the obsession is with comparing male puberty with rape, its wholly unnecessary. it really seems more like a one sided proxy war of laundered resentment. im glad i can log off, go outside, and reenter the real world where most people would disassociate themselves from you for comparing puberty to rape

its like all things that happened to trans women that they personally disliked must be compared and powerscaled and being willing to make light of rape clearly isnt a sign of being so solipsistic that they have no empathy for women who were raped or abused. notice how i did not put "cis" before the second mention of women because they also despise and wish harm on trans women who disagree with them

Nothing more to elaborate, watch the video if you're looking for a starting point.
Deleuze & Guattari are certainly the more interesting of the pedophile bunch to sign the french petition. They brought some useful concepts. Everyone will remember them as the french pedophiles until the end of time now that they did that and only pseuds in their 20s will revere them.

You can read them through Nick Land instead of reading from D&G to Land, its like faster that way, you don't need to understand any of it, its not analysis its creating concepts, that's what Deleuze called philosophy - the discipline of creating concepts / ideas (sic).

Watch the word-plays, language games, read Wittgenstein, same shit as "order-words". Watch it.

Questions about dialectics

I recently started reading Lukacs's ontology of a social being and my whole understanding of dialectics has been flipped.

Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites). The argument is very "physicalist" and relies on seeing nature as a totality in constant mutation.

HOWEVER, Lukacs seems to completely disregard this. Instead, his dialectics could be best described by the following : Any individual has multiple possibilities to realize his "teleological acts" (conscious acts aimed at satisfaction of desires/needs/sustenance etc). Alienation occurs when he is constrained by an external cause to choose a possibility unsatisfactory compared to others. As such, the dialectic is essentially a movement between the individual who attempts to overcome this alienation, which translates into class war (proletariat see capitalism as irrational for them, but are forced to endure it => conflict with the bourgeoisie).

So, which is it ? Lukacs' dialectics imo can be reconciled with Engels, but it makes the latter's work appear as very superficial.

What does /lgbt/ think of how people on this site use the F-slur?

Im sure you guys have noticed that people on this site do that thing that is just a carry over from 4chan where people call each other "Newf-word," "Oldf-word," "Draw-word," or whatever, (Can straight people type out the F-slur in this context? I'd rather not find out the hard way) I never personally did that shit myself because I have queer friend who DEFINITELY don't think straight people like me should say that shit and even if they won't know my conscience would feel heavy. But I know that queer people are not a monolith and I was wondering what the majority of people here think of it even if I won't use it either way obviously. I can already image 5 different responses,
1. Most Lgbtqianons people are okay with it
2. Most are not okay with it but don't bother calling it about because they will be labeled "Idpol"
3. Nobody cares
4. It turns out that most people on this site who do that are actually gay themselves
5. A mix of all of the above

/ayyleavemealone/ Alien Abduction General

Were you abducted by aliens? What kind of aliens? What did they do to you? What are your expectations for disclosure? What would you do if they gave you the keys to the spaceship? How would you rate your abduction experience out of ten stars?

Me:
>abducted by the greys
>they drugged me on Ativan (I've been given it enough times to recognize the feeling) and harvested my sperm
>the morning after this abduction I found out my ex was pregnant with my child
>child was born with a heart defect and died before she was two

My opinion on disclosure: There's a truth to the theory that they're hiding the truth about aliens because people would have an immediate "we have to kill them all" reaction. My story isn't uncommon, this is the kind of shit everyone who gets abducted by the greys goes through. If there are other species of aliens, they aren't stopping the greys, so they're all our enemies as far as I'm concerned. I don't care if they gave us the tech for the internet or whatever, if they needed my sperm to save their species or something, they could have fuckin' asked. If they abduct me again I'm fighting through the hypnotics and crashing that bitch of a ship into their own fleet.

What was the motive behind Israel attacking the USS Liberty?

For context in 1967 during the 6-day-war the Zionist regime bombed an American battle ship called the USS Liberty killing 34 American crew members. Israel claims that they thought it was an Egyptian ship despite the fact that they suspiciously were flying an American flag when Israel bombed it. So I’m just gonna say it, there is no way in hell that this was a mistake, even the Joint Chief of staff accused LBJ of trying to Cover it up! So I you should agree that the attack was deliberate, but I still don’t know why Israel did it because it is hard to find information because it’s similar to the Epstein stuff in the way that there are tons of Right-wing conspiracies too, all I can find are just Groypers saying “THE MOTIVE WAS THAT THEY ARE JEWS AND JEWS ARE EVIL AND WANNA ATTACK OUR GREAT TROOPS BECAUSE THEY ARE JEWS AND AMERICA WAS IN ON IT TOO!!!” Which is bullshit, you can’t just say that Jews did this for no reason, the only credible theories I could find where that either Israel was trying to do a false flag and make it look like Egypt did this so they could get America to join the war but failed, or that Israel was trying to distract America from a Golan heights invasion.

Liberation Theology: The Secret Sauce the Western Left is Missing?

Within the West the left has a common circular conversation: We need to organize, we need a movement independent of liberal political parties, we need independent working class power. The common response: there's no sufficient labor movement, people are too atomized, they no longer live and work in proximity in ways that makes them easily reachable, existing platforms prevent dissemination of our message, etc.

What if the people need to come together to be reached, and what if they get what they need for their liberation, and what they are missing in their lives under capitalism such as community aid and belonging, in a church?

Consider the conditions under which Christianity arose. The older religions including Greco-Roman pantheon worship had declined. They had by no means lost their popularity completely but the awe of the primal forces of nature and the fatalistic philosophical personification and deification of aspects of human behavior no longer spoke as effectively to the increasingly urban masses where the bronze age conditions that inspired the religion in the first place were increasingly remote and abstract. Major rituals and festival were increasingly done by rote or performatively by elites for their political careers, or for the celebrations more than the meaning beneath them. Christianity filled that void, the thought of taking on the sins and failures and brutality of humanity from the top down and dying to absolve the human soul, the thought of an all encompassing and compassionate architecture to the universe and their place in it gave people more awe than witnessing a lightning storm or an earthquake.

We all know how things went since, there's more to criticize about Christianity's history than we have time to go over. But now we find ourselves once again in similar conditions for something new. Religious membership is declining in the west, the remaining membership are either increasingly secularized and bourgeois or increasingly hyper-reactionary or lumpen. These institutions are not able to speak to the problems of the day or any solution for them on a theological or material basis. If the old church was the theological logic of feudalism to come in the shadow of rome, if protestantism was the theological logic of capitalism to come in the shadow of feudalism, then something new whether christian or something distinct can be the theological logic of what is to come after capitalism and more people feel that need every day even if they don't understand it.

I don't expect we will form a new religion here of course, but we can recognize the void that exists in people's lives currently, the need to fill that void that all humans have, and anticipate that it will be filled by something eventually. There have been many attempts, experiments, to forge an alternative to the status quo on religious grounds in the form of various cults, movements and intentional communities through the ages. We can learn from them when framing the theological vision and logic of what comes next. Many of us are not religious at all to say the least, and producing a new religious paradigm is likely not something that is done intentionally from a place of insincerity. Perhaps we may yet inspire the vision of future figures and movements as they form organically, and find in them the allies we need. It may be that an existing institution will transform into the vessel of the new message that will de-atomize and educate the scattered masses in ways conventional organizing struggles to do, to make them see beyond their PMC jobs and treats or across culture war bullshit. I don't want to exaggerate the merits of the Catholic Church or Pope Leo but as the conflict between him and the Trump administration increases, as Latin America is menaced and the Vatican is told by the Pentagon to "pick a side", there is a degree of potential to be found there even if it's an emerging leftward fringe of where he may ultimately allow the Church to be led.

China's Rise Is a RETVRN to tradition

China’s current rise can be understood as a return to the historical norm rather than an anomaly: for much of recorded history, China was among the world’s most advanced and powerful civilizations, often the largest economy and a global center of technology (printing, gunpowder, ceramic, the compass), governance, and culture. During eras such as the Han Dynasty, China developed sophisticated state institutions, large-scale agriculture, and expansive trade networks; in the Tang Dynasty, it stood as a cosmopolitan hub of culture, commerce, and innovation linked to Eurasian trade routes; and under the Song Dynasty, it achieved extraordinary economic and technological sophistication, with some estimates placing it as the world’s largest economy due to advances like paper money, urbanization, and industrial-scale production. Even into the early modern period, China remained a dominant civilizational center with a sizable percentage of global GDP as late as the 18th century, until finally succumbing to the disruptions of the Opium Wars in the 19th century and the weakening of the Qing Dynasty during the Taiping Rebellion. In this long historical arc, China’s current resurgence under the centralized leadership of the Communist Party can be seen as a return to its historical position of civilizational centrality, combining state-directed industrial strategy and vast manufacturing capacity, while the much younger and less stable settler-colonial entity fancying itself the United States of America faces growing internal polarization policy inconsistencies and self-defeating blunders that make it a pariah rogue state despised even by its allies. From this perspective, the shifting global balance of power represents not an exceptional transformation, but a reemergence of a long-standing historical pattern in which China occupies a central role in global economic and civilizational hierarchy.

China’s long-standing dominance throughout history can be attributed to a combination of geographical, political, cultural, and natural resource factors. Geographically, China benefited from fertile river valleys like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, which supported dense populations and large-scale agriculture, while natural defenses such as the Himalayas and Gobi Desert provided protection from external threats. Politically, China was able to establish a strong centralized government, particularly during dynasties like the Han, Tang, and Song, with a meritocratic bureaucracy that ensured efficient governance. Culturally, a deep sense of unity and continuity, reinforced by Confucian values, promoted social stability, while China’s intellectual and technological innovations such as papermaking, printing, and gunpowder kept it at the forefront of global advancements. Additionally, the abundance of resources, including fertile land for agriculture and valuable trade goods like silk fueled economic strength and sustained large urban populations. Together, these factors created a self-reinforcing cycle of prosperity, political unity, and cultural cohesion, allowing China to maintain its position as a dominant global power for centuries.

The only thing that makes this return to historical norm different is the socialism and high tech. It's the dialectical spiral, you see.

Some 500 protesters set up camping chairs at the foot of the steps of Trafalgar Square, displaying handmade cardboard signs reading: “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” The demonstrators were met with a heavy police presence, with vans lining the square hours before the vigil began. The protesters - many of them grey-haired and frail - were seen being hauled away, while some were led leaning on crutches. A number of the demonstrators were dressed as Suffragettes, early women’s rights activists.

Milei government not supporting campaign to restore dictatorship identities
The DNA kits, used to collect blood samples for identity verification, had been routinely sent overseas for nearly two decades, allowing individuals unable to travel to Buenos Aires to access testing. They were taken back to Argentina via diplomatic pouch. But since Milei took office in December, shipments have largely ceased, sources told EFE with identity investigations now proceeding only through formal judicial channels.

Mulino government seeks to dissolve Panama’s largest union, workers say
Although the workers managed to sustain their protests for several weeks, the Panamanian justice system initiated a series of legal proceedings against SUNTRACS leaders, forcing its top leader to flee the country to avoid possible arrest, as well as the prosecution of several others. The union has denounced these trials as “lawfare” aimed at persecuting militant workers.

Buddhism doesn't get enough flack

Buddhism is fucking predatory as shit, only saved by the fact that its buzzwords are parroted around. Seems like it was rightfully criticized since early Hinduism until the 1900s where it got syncretized because of opportunism. Really don't believe it's compatible with socialism, especially with it's buzzwords like "mindfullness" and "manifestation" becoming commonplace.
15th century monk
>He was known for his crazy methods of enlightening other beings, mostly women, which earned him the title "The Saint of 5,000 Women". Among other things, women would seek his blessing in the form of sexual intercourse.
>He is credited with introducing the practice of phallus paintings in Bhutan and placing statues of them on rooftops to drive away evil spirits. He is also known for Chimi Lhakhang, the temple of fertility.
20th century monk
>He drank, smoked, slept with students, and often kept students waiting for hours before giving teachings.
>Some of his own methods and actions, particularly his heavy drinking, sexual predation, and his ordering of the sexual assault (forced stripping) of a student and his girlfriend, caused controversy during his lifetime and afterward.
>Trungpa often combined drinking with teaching. In some instances Trungpa was too drunk to walk and had to be carried. Also, according to his student John Steinbeck IV and his wife, on a couple of occasions Trungpa's speech was unintelligible. One woman reported serving him "big glasses of gin first thing in the morning."
>The Steinbecks wrote The Other Side of Eden, a sharply critical memoir of their lives with Trungpa in which they claim that, in addition to alcohol, he spent $40,000 a year on cocaine, and used Seconal to come down from the cocaine. The Steinbecks said the cocaine use was kept secret from the wider Vajradhatu community.
>19th century monk
>Other behavior was troubling as well. As one scholar who has studied the community noted, Tendzin was "bisexual and known to be very promiscuous" and "enjoyed seducing straight men" but the community "did not find [this behavior] particularly troublesome." Not all his partners were unwilling; one scholar noted "it became a mark of prestige for a man, gay or straight, to have sex with the Regent, just as it had been for a woman to have sex with [Trungpa] Rinpoche", but at least one student reported that Tendzin had raped him. As a former Vajradhatu member attested, "a chilling story had recently been reported by one of … [the] teachers at the Buddhist private school [for the Vajradhatu community]. This straight, married male was pinned face-down across Rich's desk by the guards [the Dorje Kasung] while Rich forcibly raped him."
>It was revealed in 1989 that Tendzin had contracted HIV and for nearly three years knew it, yet continued to have unprotected sex with his students without informing them. He transmitted it to a student who later died of AIDS. Others close to Tendzin, including Vajradhatu's board of directors, knew for two years that Tendzin was HIV-positive and sexually active but kept silent.
Apparently early Hinduism had criticized Buddhism for it's weird practices too.
>In turn, Hindu theologians like Adi Śaṅkara, Kumārila Bhaṭṭa and various Nyaya school philosophers (like Vātsāyana) likewise critiqued Buddhist thought in their various works. Śaṅkara accuses the Buddha of being "a man given to make incoherent assertions" and "propound absurd doctrines."
A play criticizing heterodox Hindu sects and Buddhist sects that were becoming common back in the 800s
>It is widely held that Mahendra’s play is a satire of the degenerate sects of his day. For example, both the Kapalika and Pasupata sects must have been considered peculiar during Mahendra’s reign, and the king satirizes them in his play. The Kapalikas embodied a serious, yet suspect, religious concept: Tantrism where religious enlightenment is attained through unorthodox rituals. Some of these notorious rituals were Madya (liquor) and Maithuna (ritual intercourse). Meanwhile, these rituals are satirically echoed by Nagasena, the Buddhist monk, who wonders why Buddhism disallows liquor and women.
A 12th century criticism from a book cataloguing Kashmiri history
>The monasteries became rich with the gifts of kings and nobles, and the guardians of these establishments ceased to observe their discipline. They became attached to comfort and luxury.
Observations of Jesuits on Buddhists in China
>This suspicion was deepened by the Confucian moralists’ opinion that Buddhist monks did not duly respect gender segregation. Buddhist clerics often encouraged female lay devotees to leave their secluded apartments to visit their temples or go on pilgrimages. They also visited the women in their private quarters to expound the sutras to them and edify them with religious talks. These transgressions of Confucian gender boundaries were interpreted by literati as a sign of moral inferiority and thus contributed to the monks’ bad reputation.
Criticism of Buddhists in Korea
>In 1479, Censor General Sŏng Hyŏn (1439–1504) listed four Buddhist monks who had committed lustful behavior or committed fornication with lay women under the guise of prayer rituals and argued that women should be banned from contact with Buddhist monks. The women, whom Sŏng mentioned, included the concubine of a yangban man, the wife of a high official, nuns, the sister of a yangban man, and even the wife of a man belonging to the royal lineage. The female body was the locus of anti-Buddhist criticism that rendered Buddhist ritual activities immoral and incompatible with Confucian values.
>The wrangling over immoral rituals on Mount Kŭmsŏng between King Sŏngjong and the court officials continued. In 1487, the officials again warned that “on Mount Kŭmsŏng, in addition to an official prayer hall set up for the government’s ritual worship, there are five or six more private halls, and a crowd of yangban women from nearby villages gather around and stay [there], so [some men] even lose their wives”.

Honest question (NOT trolling):

What exactly should the western left do for Palestine that they haven’t already been doing for the past 2.5 years (or even longer for that matter)?

I’ve seen Palestinian activists say “we need to do more to stop the genocide” more times than I can count. But what should we feasibly be doing that we’re not doing already? Boycotts? Mass protests? Blockading arms sales? Policing your peers’ consumer habits so they’re compliant with BDS? Making lists of politicians who receive money from AIPAC and voting them out? We’ve done this already. In NYC, there was a mass protest every fucking weekend where we were told to “escalate for Gaza” yet we never escalated; I don’t even fucking know what “escalate” is supposed to mean. Were we supposed to be engaging in violent riots and molotoving the banks or whatever?

I asked this to a comrade of mine and he said: “You know what we mean when we want the left to do more for Palestine.” By that, he clearly means engage in political violence, bring back the Weathermen. But how would ultra-left adventurism do anything? Elias Rodriguez did exactly this and is now facing life in prison for killing two interns who were replaced the next day. What a fucking waste.

The American left is way too weak, disorganized, and incompetent to do anything meaningful to help the Palestinians resist or stop Israel. It’s gotten to the point where people are putting all their hope and faith in the idea Israel will collapse on its own because they’ve run out of strategies. So what should the left be doing that it’s not doing already? Give clear examples.

French lawmakers set to push bill criminalising speech on Israel
Under Article 1, individuals could face up to five years in prison and heavy fines for speech interpreted as justifying or reframing acts labelled as terrorism. That could include describing such acts as “resistance” or providing context deemed insufficiently condemnatory. France’s former anti-terrorism judge Marc Trevidic issued a stark warning about the implications. "I'd never seen anything like it, the notion of implicit incitement to terrorism. Do you realise what that means? Becoming a censor of other people's thoughts, trying to guess what a person really meant."

So, it appears that despite the most common assumptions, labour "aristocratic"/well paid workers can and have been notable partecipants in the class struggle, everywhere from Italy to Chile and from the UK to South Africa

> The most important counter-example is the Russian working class in the early 20th century. The backbone of Lenin’s Bolsheviks (something he was most definitely aware of) were the best paid industrial workers in the Russian cities – skilled machinists in the largest factories. Lower paid workers, such as the predominantly female textile workers, were generally either unorganized or apolitical (until the beginnings of the revolution) or supported the reformist Mensheviks.

> German Communism became a mass movement when tens of thousands of well-paid metal workers left the Independent Socialists and joined the Communists in 1921. The French and Italian Communists also became mass parties through the recruitment of thousands of machinists who led the mass strikes of the postwar period. These highly paid workers were also overrepresented in the smaller Communist parties of the United States and Britain.

> In Chile between 1970 and 1973, and Argentina between 1971 and 1974, copper miners and metal workers engaged in industrial struggles and took the lead in mass mobilizations against the military and the right. In Brazil, it was the well-paid metal workers in the suburbs of San Paolo who led mass strikes in the 1970s that created the CUT

> it was the highest paid Black workers in South Africa – in mining, auto, steel – whose struggles in the 1970s created the radical and militant FOSATU trade union confederation.

Nostalgia cartoons that hold up

I was watching a cartoon from my child and realized that the saturday morning cartoon generation lucked out. Other than some outliers like avatar or adventuretime, the good stuff was 90s-early naughty aughties. This is not just nostalgia but demonstrably true as merch from these cartoons is still popular as ever for kids. I work as a substitute teacher and they still watch our old cartoons and it's actually super weird, I didn't watch captain kangaroo or whatever boomer crap my mom watched when i was a kid.

Batman Beyond Yeah, Batman is a billionaire who has kids running around in tights in his mansion and beats up environmentalists and poor people. But I'll always love the gimmicks and his "rouge's gallery" has the best gimmicks.
Batman Beyond he's not rich he's just a regular kid living in a much cooler dystopia than the one we wound up with. The animation and voice acting are both top notch.
Gargoyles- From the same animation bloc, with some legendary voice acting from Keith David, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes. A very 'serious' show that Disney wants us to forget that they ever produced.
ReBoot Ever what wonder what life inside a computer would be like if all the 0s and 1s were sentient? Well, a show like this will make a tech nerd scream but it's one of several quality early 3d CGI coming out of Canada during this period.
Animaniacs It's honestly amazing how much SFW 'adult' humor was snuck into these shows. I think I learned more about popculture from Wakko, Yakko, and Dot than anywhere else.
The SlayersThe first "real" anime I saw and it got me interested in anime and d&d style worlds.Pretty thought out lore and universe.

So what are yours comradanons

Epistein was right about everything. Never said he was a good person, just that he was right. These wannabe feds need they kids eaten and their kidneys sold.

But the good news is they don't have to have their kidneys extracted if they just financially reimburse us because judiciary penalties are stupid and bourgeois. Death penalty is a circus act noone even gets to see, and prison is just free labor and while I'm all for working the janny to death, the fact is they live at home picking at their belly button which is how they have the time to harass sweet little discordian kittens like you all who dindu nuffin.

So they should just pay us and get on their hands and knees and beg for our forgiveness.

Would Marx even be a communist if he were alive today?

Is the key flaw of Marxism that all of its predictions are bullshit? Why do communists feel like facts have to conform to their feelings when Marx never said that? Marx was never a moralfag and based his ideas in the fact he believed the collapse of Capitalism was inevitable. 200 years on, and it has not collapsed or led to any sort of successful socialist revolution.

You can identify the exact point at which Marxists start coping and treating their belief system as a religion. From the Preface of The Poverty of Philosophy on Marxists.org:

>The above application of the Ricardian theory that the entire social product belongs to the workers as their product, because they are the sole real producers, leads directly to communism. But, as Marx indeed indicates in the above-quoted passage, it is incorrect in formal economic terms, for it is simply an application of morality to economics. According to the laws of bourgeois economics, the greatest part of the product does not belong to the workers who have produced it. If we now say: that is unjust, that ought not to be so, then that has nothing immediately to do with economics. We are merely saying that this economic fact is in contradiction to our sense of morality. Marx, therefore, never based his communist demands upon this, but upon the inevitable collapse of the capitalist mode of production which is daily taking place before our eyes to an ever growing degree; he says only that surplus value consists of unpaid labour, which is a simple fact. But what in economic terms may be formally incorrect, may all the same be correct from the point of view of world history. If mass moral consciousness declares an economic fact to be unjust, as it did at one time in the case of slavery and statute labour, that is proof that the fact itself has outlived its day, that other economic facts have made their appearance due to which the former has become unbearable and untenable. Therefore, a very true economic content may be concealed behind the formal economic incorrectness. This is not the place to deal more closely with the significance and history of the theory of surplus value.

Marx never would have said this lol, this is plain magical thinking

The Chibber Strategy

So according to Vivek Chibber what communists need to do is the following:

-Middle class intellectuals must create a party of dedicated cadres who will then approach the workers by committing class suicide.
-Some of these workers will be recruited as ideologically committed cadres who will then unionize their workplace, creating unions separated from the core organization
-There must be discipline and accountability
-Once there, we will somehow figure out how to solve the questions on how to organize workers in the face of globalization, capital flight, and so on

Must engage in social reforms to gain ground and then weaken the enemy using their own tools

This isn’t very different from what Felix says, the only difference being Felix wants to use violence instead of organizing workers.

There’s no excuse at this point. Chibber has offered a viable strategy, the only problem is finding cadres willing to commit class suicide

The Cuban energy crisis

Cuba is currently facing one of its worst energy crisies in its history, entirely caused by the US goverment further tighting sanctions on Cuba, and with the recent overthow of the Venezuelan goverment now Cuba has lost its most valuable trade partner.
There is a deficit over 2,000 MW, so its supply isn't even coming close to its demand.

Local transportation, services, and obviously healthcare is being restricted. And considering Cuba does more for the global south in heathcare then literally any western country, it tells you how much this really effects the world, not just the nation itself. As of writting this thread Russia is sending a humanitarian ship to Cuba, do we think the US is gonna stop the ship?

So i must ask, what can we do indiviually to help Cuba?

Recruiting is literally the biggest joke of all time. Genuinely when I attend recruiting events its like the most suffocating, artificial vibe i've ever seen in my life. Everyone, from the students, to the recruiters, to the professionals are faking everything. "Networking" is essentially just sucking up to whatever recruiter, manager, or employee you can find and bothering them with nothing burger emails. Recruiters probably get literally thousands of emails from students who all think they're special. Networking job fairs are filled to the brim with a bunch of sweaty peeople in suits trying to prostrate themselves the best for some dumb internship. Linkedin is just a cesspool of the most performative and fake characters of all time, In fact i'd say a good plurlity of all posts and job listings on linkedin are AI generated and fake. I genuinely can't wait until AI destroys white collar america and all the former Excel desk jockeys can be part of the revolutionary vanguard.

Bikini Armor is something of a staple of chud discourse and many gamers will refuse to play games that don't feature it, but at this point it is something that future game devs predicting a pro-chud vibe shift will include in their games. Especially games being developed in 2024 where chuddery was at it's most potent. Yet somehow I still think that bikini armor propaganda will still be a potent force in future politics now that even centrist men will berate you for not having hoes in bikini armor.

On contradictory "synthesis"

The relation between religious retards and their disillusionment with the world coming to bring their baggage while demanding change from the real movement that has already done its hundreds of years' worth of material analysis to explain the phenomena occurring by atheist anti-theist might, to come and label onself as "christian, muslim, jewish, pagan socialist-esque" or even worse an "anarchist" clinging to the niche of creative writings, seeking legitimacy and to be legitimized of ones' metaphysical supersititous retardation gives no room for development of the real movement, it stagnates it as a retrograde aesthetic tending towards reactionary stillness in life - a status quo of demanding to preserve feudal and pre-feudal mythos when the movement is trying to bring workers to view reality for what it really is, all conceptions of GOD, GODS, SPIRITS, DEITIES and such being man-made as words and remaining solely as conceptions with addendum of personal experiences always unexplained as "feelings" - trying to mitigate research and development by situations presented in such a way that they inherently deny rationale.

It is the status quo of the majority of the world population being turned retarded-submissive by abstract religiosity and contempt with its decay. To synthesize decay and growth or present decay as growth in an attempt to paint oneself a "socialist" or "progressive force" is to lie for closure.
As Il Duche himself wrote before opportunistically clinging to the catholic church in Italy for politician gains - God Does Not Exist, so we affirm his essay. Luddic left liberalism and leftism as the bourgeois liberalism it will always be - is always reactionary and the road of religiosity and negation. Reactionism will always be against the notion of revolutions, a reactionary revolution or a conservative revolution can be nothing less than Adolf Hitler's rise.
Call for the liquidation of religiosity and not its synthesis and integration within the movement against the present state of things, it is a part of the present state that has plagued civilization since all previous modes of production and continuing in liberal "secular" capitalism. Deny entryists. A "religious socialist" is either a confused socialist in need of psychiatric help or a religious reactionary posing as socialist.

A religious "socialist" is only a re-branding in name of the same feudal bullshit that has stagnated and appropriated human development for itself. To quote Marx himself:
>Nothing is easier than to give Christian asceticism a Socialist tinge. Has not Christianity declaimed against private property, against marriage, against the State? Has it not preached in the place of these,charity and poverty, celibacy and mortification of the flesh, monastic life and Mother Church? Christian Socialism is but the holy water with which the priest consecrates the heart-burnings of the aristocrat.

You have to be utterly retarded and a desperate popular-frontist, class collaborationist retarded jewish nigger to legitimize this, to legitimize it means that you are illegitimate yourself, you are a liberal lumpen or bourgeois collaborating with the reactionary forces. Fuck your liberal-tion theology. All of you go from cradle to grave with the end of this mode of production and remain in soil.

Making Microsoft Windows Home

Am probably going to be switching to Windows (first time, other than public school computers), and QWERTY for work. This means giving up a whole load of my configuration, and sort of starting computing from scratch. Found a few interesting tools to make the operating system a little more usable:

- MSMG (https://msmgtoolkit.in/) to strip down the install to something a little more manageable.
- komorebi (https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi) to bring tiling windows managers to Microsoft Windows.
- shutup10++ (https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10) to disable much of the telemetry used by the system (if this isn't already removed by MSMG).
- AHK (https://www.autohotkey.com/) to make keyboard and mouse macros.

This is excluding typical packages with good reputation like Firefox, VLC, or FooBar2000. Just wondering what all you use to make Microsoft Windows a bit more like home.

How should leftists deal with insular communities after the revolution??

Should they be allowed to keep existing or should we dismantle them and force them into mainstream society?
