"I'm economically left and socially right"
Shut the fuck up. You aren't smart. You didn't invent some new political ideology. You're an incel chud who just prefers Soviet aesthetics instead of Nazi.
R: 83 / I: 23
Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect. I attempt to correct it ITT.
Unequal exchange, Mao/Chinese aesthetics and purely performative MLM rhetoric has grown in recent years… But with time comes change.
The original 90s ThirdWorldism "movement", centered in north-america diverged from MLM on a variety of theoretical issues, most crucially the revolutionary nature of the proletariat. They supplemented their divergence with integrating post-Marxist turns happening in word-systems theory (which was ongoing in western academia between the 80s and 90s). As ""Maoism" ThirdWorldism" largely accomplished nothing, other than maybe increasing confusion in the communist movement during the era of blackest reaction, we mostly remember them by their cartoony writing and online media available through archives from that era.
So if 90s Third Worldism was a north-american revisionist offshoot from MLM which integrated non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and rejecting revolution in the imperial core for rhetorical "support" of [far off, peripheral countries]… What are the particularities of the contemporary expression?
2020s Third Worldism can be observed as being a north-american right-wing revisionist movement which retains both the non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and the purely symbolic appeals to Mao, but now replacing the "MLM" pretender framing for the simpler, safer state ideology of social-imperialist China; that also just so happens to feign adherence to 'Mao Zedong Thought', even after it was systematically replaced with the Bukharinist-Dengist capitulationist counterrevolution. which is continued today, the true basis for Xi Jinping Thought, as the bureaucrat-monopoly capitalist heading the political line of the party has only deepened the cementation of a new pole in the capitalist imperialist world system since Deng, when neither as many NEZ, stock markets, overall % of bourgeois in the party or billionaires existed in China. Mao Zedong Thought lives on in the rural and urban areas of any militant area of the world where the struggle is advanced. Not in the cultural exports of US and Chinese imperialist dogs.
This 20 min zoom call encapsulates the political analysis and tactics of Dengism-ThirdWorldism perfectly:
>What is the path toward socialism? (Vijay Prashad (Tricontinental), Radhika Desai (Geopolitical Economy Report), Torkil Lauesen & Immanuel Ness - Lauesen a late 20th century ThirdWorldist adventurist in Denmark, both non-Wallerstinian Unequal Exchange theorists)
https://youtu.be/KR9PbqqdiLg
Maybe archive it, as their utterances, especially Prashad's, are sure to age badly
What some real examples of concrete crystallizations of Dengism-ThirdWorldism?
ยท Parties: PSL, CPI (Maupin), ACP (post-MIGA), Workers Party (UK, Galloway)
ยท Orgs/media outlets: The Tricontinental, Friends of Socialist China, BreakThrough News, Geopolitical Economy Report, Xiao Collective, Critical Theory Workshop, Wave Media
In summary, the revolutionary pretense of a "Maoism" ThirdWorldism has been radically muted this time around actually, if we pay attention. The reason is because astroturfing a Dengism ThirdWorldism is actually way cheaper, as appeals to pacifism, reformism, peaceful coexistence, human rights and authority of the UN and speech rather than revolution requires the petty bourg (US) and nat bourg (China) forces funding these groups to expend way less money (it would also indicate the bare minimum of conflictuality outside of mere capitalist competition).
Materialist analysis: ThirdWorldism - second time as farce.
Recently saw a discussion in regards to "Third Worldism" as in MLM + unequal exchange (a non-Wallerstinian branch of world systems theory) having grown in influence in the anglophone/western, largely online, "communist" spaces.Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect. I attempt to correct it ITT.

https://jogblog.substack.com/p/facebooks-threads-is-so-depressing
R: 7 / I: 1
The shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt toward individual responsibility and the presumption of innocence was gradual rather than revolutionary. In many ancient and medieval societies, families, clans, villages, or entire communities could be held liable for the actions of one member, and accused individuals often had to prove their innocence through oaths, ordeals, or social standing. These proofs were often ritual in nature and lacked scientific rigor. Over centuries, especially under the influence of Roman legal principles, canon law, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and liberal constitutionalism, legal systems increasingly emphasized that guilt should be based on evidence against a specific individual rather than group affiliation. Thinkers such as Beccaria and Blackstone argued that protecting the innocent from wrongful punishment was more important than maximizing convictions, leading to higher standards of proof, formal rules of evidence, due process, and the modern principle that the prosecution bears the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Despite these legal prohibitions, governments and armed groups have at times been accused of imposing measures that amount to collective punishment, especially during wars, occupations, and counterinsurgency campaigns. Whether a specific case qualifies is often legally and politically disputed.
The transformation from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual liability and the presumption of innocence was driven largely by changes in state capacity and legal administration. As governments became stronger, more centralized, and more bureaucratic, they relied less on kinship groups to police their own members and more on professional courts, investigators, and judges. Improved record-keeping, forensic methods, written legal codes, and standardized procedures made it increasingly feasible (but not necessarily easy) to determine who actually committed an offense, reducing the perceived need to punish families or communities collectively. At the same time, expanding commerce and more diverse populations required legal systems that were universalist in nature, and treated strangers as individuals under uniform rules rather than as second class citizens, gradually making individualized justice and procedural safeguards the foundation of modern law.
From a class and economic perspective, the shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual responsibility can be understood as a consequence of the rise of market economies and capitalist social relations. Collective liability was well suited to feudal and kin-based societies, where obligations were shared by households, villages, and estates, but it impeded commerce by making contracts and property rights unpredictable. As merchants, urban aristocracy, and later industrial capitalists gained influence, they demanded legal systems that treated people as autonomous individuals capable of owning property, entering contracts, and being held liable only for their own actions. The resulting legal order replaced inherited collective responsibility with individualized rights and duties, not simply out of humanitarian concern, but because wage labor, private property, investment, and impersonal markets functioned more efficiently when legal responsibility was attached to discrete individuals rather than families, classes, or communities.
However, there is a problem which persists. Engels' concept of "social murder" refers to the idea that when a social and economic system predictably produces premature death through poverty, unsafe working conditions, malnutrition, or inadequate housing, those deaths are not mere accidents but the foreseeable consequences of institutional arrangements. Under this interpretation, responsibility is diffuse rather than individualized: no single capitalist or official commits murder in the ordinary legal sense, but the ruling class collectively maintains a system whose predictable effects include preventable deaths. Should the ruling class be collectively punished for this crime, potentially undermining or reversing the the historical changes described above? Furthermore, are not the proletariat themselves being collectively punished by the bourgeoisie for the crime of being poor?
One could argue that this represents a functional return of collective punishment, despite the formal triumph of individualized criminal law. Modern legal systems generally reject punishing innocent individuals for another person's crimes, yet they often tolerate economic institutions that systematically expose entire classes to greater risks of illness, violence, and early death based on their socioeconomic position. In that sense, the poor may experience harms not because of anything they individually did, but because they belong to a structurally disadvantaged class. The "punishment" is not imposed by a judge but by social and economic arrangements.
Bourgeois apologists argue that collective punishment involves intentionally imposing penalties on innocent people for the actions of others, whereas poverty-related harms arise from impersonal market processes, policy tradeoffs, historical contingencies, or individual choices rather than a deliberate punitive intent. From this perspective, calling these outcomes "collective punishment" obscures important distinctions between legal sanctions and structural inequality.
Collective Punishment Versus Individual Responsibility
Today most legal systems nominally reject collective punishment, emphasizing individual responsibility. It is also prohibited in armed conflict under international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. This was not always the case. The Athenian Draco is remembered for harsh laws, from which we get the word "Draconian" but one of his major reforms was to replace private blood feuds with state-administered justice. Before his code, killings were often avenged by the victim's family, leading to cycles of retaliation.The shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt toward individual responsibility and the presumption of innocence was gradual rather than revolutionary. In many ancient and medieval societies, families, clans, villages, or entire communities could be held liable for the actions of one member, and accused individuals often had to prove their innocence through oaths, ordeals, or social standing.

Anyone got anything to say about the DSA libertarian socialist caucus?
Seems like a way to bring people who would not normally support democratic socialists to be more cooperative with electoralism.
Im already skeptical of the DSA, but at the same time i see no other even vaguely socialist or communist project actually doing anything on a mass scale in the country.
Ive also not been as involved in politics in the past few years, trying to keep my head down to not be a target again for the sake of my family, but i feel like this may be a safer option.
Ive met DSA folks in the past, and my thoughts on them are similar to meeting many other leftists. "gee, they see nice, hope they actually fucking do something," and they kinda have.
Anyway, thoughts?

Iโve seen liberals, be it those that support Palestine or Israel, come to unison when it comes to giving phull sapport to the Ukraine. Why? What gives?
Now, I donโt think itโs a coincidence that for the US government Georgia 2008 wasnโt the breaking line for the American empire, so much as the Ukraine 2014, simply because the Ukraine has far more resources in terms of arable land, industrial capacity, and minerals.
But whatโs the excuse for the shitlib? Because those seem like ad hoc reasoning to justify a preconceived reason more than anything. Ofc the average shitlib is propagandized into supporting the Globalist American Empire (GAE) and whatever diktats it makes. Still, I think itโs worth asking how convenient it is that theyโre so passionate about a country that is coincidentally one rich of resources (or illusion thereof, as some sceptics might say).
Indeed, shitlibs like Corey believe in the infinite goodness of the American empire, and so theyโll be the most conservative defenders of the status quo even if they wonโt define themselves as such, with their sole issue with Trump being based on aesthetics more than anything else. Reminds you of anything?
Now, as Marx denotes, ideology and idealism often serve to mask what are in practice class struggles and other material realities. In this case, โwestern democracy capitalismโ to a lib may sound like a just coherent idea, but in reality itโs little more than idealistic smokescreen for an imperialist war waged by the NATO imperialistic war machine against Russia, with obvious involvement from the cross-continental military cabal and arms industries. Whether you see it as a conflict between a proletarian and bourgeois powers, or intra-porkie bourgeois infighting at the expense of the global prole, itโs for you to decide. Nonetheless, much of the western propaganda about the Ukraine is clearly ideological crap.
For Eurocrats, thereโs the fact that the war serves both to offset an European recession, and as a rallying cry for EU unity at a time when Europe is more disunited than ever. Not even anti-immigration serves as a proper glue as immigration is largely irrelevant to eastern Euros what with already having net low migration (both in and out of country) coupled with ethnic blood feuds, whereas Western Europe is slowly becoming united by a negative. But what does unite a Polish tradcath homophobe, and a French pro-gay atheist busherite? Hatred for Russia signalled as support for the Ukraine. Not to mention, throwing cash at the Ukraine serves to put off the looming economic decline: https://www.amerikanets.com/p/why-is-europe-all-in-on-ukraine
As for America, residual anti-communism metastasised into Russophobia, and economic incentives for the military industrial complex in the form of weapons sales combined with the war providing testing grounds for drone warfare and the fact that both Ukraine and Israel serve as nodes from which the GAE can destabilise its competitors is well-known.
Still, what do you think are the main reasons why shitlibs to this day (both woketards and busherites) are obsessed with Ukraine?

/MIL/
Militaries emerged primarily as institutions for securing wealth rather than territory. Early organized violence could have been driven by the need to protect trade routes, seize productive farmland, monopolize valuable resources, and enforce tribute, with political borders forming later as a byproduct of sustained economic extraction rather than the original objective. Militaries developed as mechanisms for managing large populations of ambitious young men whose competitiveness threatened internal stability. By channeling status-seeking, aggression, and risk-taking into campaigns against external rivals, societies reduced domestic conflict while rewarding martial success with prestige, wealth, and opportunities that might otherwise have fueled feuds or political unrest. Militaries originated less to defend against outsiders than to consolidate power within early states. A ruler with a permanent armed force no longer depended entirely on temporary loyalties from local clans or nobles, making it easier to suppress rebellions, enforce taxation, and transform personal authority into centralized government. External warfare then became as much a justification for maintaining the army as its original purpose. Militaries may have arisen as ritual institutions before they became effective fighting forces. Public displays of discipline, uniforms, ceremonies, and collective sacrifice could have served to bind otherwise unrelated communities into a shared identity, with the practical business of warfare growing out of cultural traditions that already celebrated organized violence as a marker of civilization and belonging.

๐จ๐จ๐บ BREAKING: Cuban President Miguel Dรญaz-Canel unveiled a sweeping set of economic reforms Friday, casting them as Cubaโs path through the crisis driven by a โcriminal energy blockadeโ by the United States that has left the island nearly without fuel.
Only 1 oil tanker has reached Cuba in the past 5 months, Dรญaz-Canel said, a collapse that traces to January, when the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolรกs Maduro and cut the flow of Venezuelan oil, then threatened tariffs on any country that supplied Cuba.
Havana now endures blackouts of up to 15 hours a day. Among the most devastating consequences of the U.S. policy is that the Cuban government has been forced to postpone tens of thousands of surgeries for its citizens.
The Cuban President today named national defense as the first priority, citing preparations under Cubaโs โWhole Peopleโs Warโ doctrine. The full 2026 reform program includes:
๐นEnterprise & Markets
๐ธ Overhaul the economic management system, easing the conflict between central planning and incentives for production
๐ธ Grant state enterprises autonomy to set their own wages, dimensions, clients, and suppliers, use their profits freely, and enter the currency market directly [enterprise autonomy is a bad idea]
๐ธ Loosen rules on non-state businesses, narrowing banned activities and widening shareholding
๐ธ Fast-track approval of stalled private and state MSMEs (mipymes)
๐น Decentralization & the State
๐ธ Expand municipal autonomy, letting provinces import, export, attract foreign investment, and manage hard-currency income on their own
๐ธ Restructure and shrink the state, cutting ministries and posts via a public draft law to reduce bureaucracy
๐น Trade & Investment
๐ธ Make foreign trade more dynamic, dropping mandatory intermediaries and favoring importers of raw materials over finished goods
๐ธ Incentivize foreign direct investment, plus a new role for Cuban-diaspora and resident-Cuban investors as economic actors [Whyyyy?????]
๐น Agriculture & Food
๐ธ Reform land use, giving land to those who will farm it, cutting idle plots, and opening input and currency markets to producers across all sectors
๐ธ Pursue food self-sufficiency by streamlining bureaucracy for agricultural production
๐น Fiscal, Monetary & Social
๐ธ Shift fiscal policy so the budget no longer finances state-enterprise inefficiency [So make things worse for the state sector]
๐ธ Redesign monetary policy and the foreign-exchange market, and strengthen the banking system
๐ธ Reform wages in the budget sector and move from subsidizing products to subsidizing people
๐น Energy & Transport
๐ธ Expand renewable energy and electric mobility, including local EV assembly, to cut dependence on imported fuel
๐ธ Ease vehicle import limits, favoring solar-charged electric vehicles
๐น Tourism, Commerce & Labor
๐ธ Revive tourism through new operators beyond the big foreign chains that have pulled out
๐ธ Modernize domestic commerce with electronic invoicing and digital platforms
๐ธ Protect young skilled workers with better pay and incentives to curb emigration
Let's hope those loyal to the communist cause in Cuba resist liberalization.

Doing Time
If you are queer in prison you are statistically much more likely to get abused and raped than if you are a literal child molester. I doubt leftists would fare much better in the hyper macho rightoid environment that prison is. Not to mention the guards that will intentionally set you up to get attacked if they dont like your politics. I have done time in a criminally insane institution though im not sure how much authotity i have to speak on this considering the environment is a usually regarded and softer and my crime was not necessarily political, even though we had rape and beatdowns there too, though i kept my opinions on anything to myself and minded my own bussiness so i avoided the bulk of the drama. Still, leftists have a big disadvantage on this front considering any type of violent action in service of the revolution will have to face this reality. This will deter a lot of people and i feel especially sad for the queer people that endure so much violence form the right yet cant retaliate because the alternative is being thrown into a sadistic rape dungeon to be tortured till suicide by both cops and inmates. This is a major blackpill a lot of people here are not ready to swallow.

how can low birthrates and immigration both be a problem? it would seem to me that one ought to compensate for the other. if you're worried about the population of your country decreasing then you should be happy that new people are coming in to bolster your numbers. if you are worried about the population being too high, then you should be happy that people aren't having as many babies.
and let's face it, neither of these things are issues that anyone can really do anything about. you can't make millions of people have sex and produce babies more often and you can't stop millions of people from entering a country. human behavior at this scale is basically like the weather, you can't control it or do anything about it and there's no sense in whining about it, all you can really do is just accept it and adapt to it.

transness as an economic symptom
men are seen as the breadwinners, value determined by money, finances, economic power
more and more men are unable to access this value, this causes gender dysphoria, and seeing that the economic power of women is stronger than men, seek to gain that economic power via transitioning. this only accounts for a small but noticable percentage of trans people, and does not imply that all trans people come from this logic, only that this logic does to some degree create trans people, and if economic opportunities were better, there would surely be less trans people. This is also why the bulk of new trans people are trans women. Women don't really need to transition to a man to access the economics that womanhood innately brings. The inability to perform the role of man, which is fundmentally an economic role, leads to men transitioning.
would you be trans if you had a good job making 120k a year? if you had the ability to support a family? I wouldn't be.

Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that itโs likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

<The CJP was created in response to remarks made on 15 May 2026 by Surya Kant, the Chief Justice of India, in which he called some activists and unemployed youth "cockroaches" and "parasites of society", sparking immediate national outrage. The name is a wordplay parodying the ruling party in India, the Bharatiya Janata Party. It achieved rapid popularity online, with the movement garnering over 350,000 sign-ups and over 22 million followers on Instagram within a week of formation.
<The CJP describes itself as "a political front of the youth, by the youth, for the youth: Secular, Socialist, Democratic, and Lazy." "We are not here to set up another PM CARES, holiday in Davos on the taxpayer's salary slip, or rebrand corruption as 'strategic spending.' We are here to ask, loudly, repeatedly, in writing, where the money went." Further, its mission is described as: "Build a party for the young people who keep getting called lazy, chronically online, and, most recently, cockroaches. That's it. That's the mission. The rest is satire."
And for the comrades who love calling any third world movement a CIA psyop your work has already been cut out for you, it's Soros and Pakistan

Without naming the CJP, union minister Kiren Rijiju stated on X, "I pity those who seek their followers in social media from Pakistan & George Soros gang".

More than 50 years after the murder of the Chilean folk singer Vรญctor Jara, the last man wanted in connection with his death has been tracked down and brought to justice. Nelson Haase Mazzei, a retired colonel, fled from authorities in 2023 after he and six other retired soldiers were sentenced in absentia for murdering Jara and another man.

Over nine million workers now informally employed in Argentina
Argentinaโs economy is starting to look tidier when it comes to macroeconomics, but that improvement has not yet translated into a clear recovery in the job market. Unemployment levels remain virtually at the same level as a year ago, but there are worrying signs such as the growth of informal work, which already affects 44.4 percent of workers, or four out of every nine.

Wildfires: The ominous 'fire clouds' or 'pyrocumulonimbus' seen in France for the first time
French firefighters are grappling for the first time with immense fire clouds, known as pyrocumulonimbus clouds, created by extreme wildfires, as they struggle to bring a forest inferno in southwest France under control. French wildfire researcher Jean-Baptiste Filippi says the phenomenon is yet another consequence of human-related climate change.

Islamist attack on Berlin CSD: Government intensifies police state offensive
It is already clear that the perpetrator had been known to the security authorities for years. B., a German citizen born in Germany, was classified as an Islamist Gefรคhrder, a person deemed a potential security threat. He had repeatedly attempted to travel to Syria and join the โIslamic State.โ He was arrested in Lebanon and, after his return to Germany, again remanded in custody. On May 12, he was sentenced to one year and 10 months in juvenile detention for preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state and for violations of the Associations Act. Although the Office of the Prosecutor General had requested a higher sentence and the continuation of detention, he was released pending an appeal.

Israeli soldier's death during West Bank settler attack may have been 'friendly fire'
"There is an increasing assessment in the military's investigations over the past day that Major Yuval Ezra was not killed by enemy fire but by our own forces," Kan military correspondent Roy Sharon said. "The possibility that he was killed by [Israeli] forces is no longer being ruled out." Friday's violence left Ezra and an Israeli settler dead, while four Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces as settlers rampaged through the village, while several others were wounded.

To begin, what is Marxism?
>Marxism is not a theory of equality. It is not a diagnosis of injustice, nor is it a specific prescription of how to remedy societyโs ills. Marxism is a method for acquiring knowledge about the laws governing the historical development of societies. Marxism thus regards itself as a type of science. Most people think of science as something purely descriptive.
<But the reason Marxโs contemporaries called him Prometheus is because he bequeathed a science that did not just describe reality, but participated in its development. This makes Marxism totally contrary to modern science.
>Modern science places knowledge above its object. To know, means to strip something naked to consciousness and turn it into a utility for the knowing subject. He who knows an object, can control, master, and alter an object. But the โobjectโ known by Marxism is none other than human society itself. And the paradox lies in the obvious fact that society is not just an object, but also a subject. Marxists (subjects) are themselves part of the very object they make knowable.
<To complicate matters further, Marx does not claim knowledge of society alone can transform society. Instead, he proves that society is already coming to know and transform itself materially in the form of the then growing proletarian class. Most people think Marx is โPrometheanโ because he wanted his ideas popularized. But the REAL reason was because he had the courage of declaring the return of knowledge back to being itself, and human beings in particular. He created a science that ceased to be above its object.
>For Marx, the knowledge of historical laws arrived at by consciousness, was being reflected in history itself. Knowledge of humanity does not dominate humanity, but reveals that it was there, and part of it all along. โCommunism is the riddle of history solved.โ
Why the need for class consciousness?
<This is where people misunderstand Leninism as an attempt to turn politics and state power into a tool for realizing some goal of the mind. In reality, the role of Marxists lies in spreading the โgood newsโ to the despairing proletariat. Class consciousness, the so-called โvanguard party,โ and the Communist state is the realization of the proletariatโs faith in itself. Communism is not realized โautomaticallyโ without the participation of a Communist party because society is not just an object.
>Neither just a subject either. Communist parties do not create new societies, only guide the existing development of society. This guidance is necessary because politics, Communist or otherwise is itself part of material reality. Without the guidance of proletarian consciousness, the movement propelling society still continues. But it leads to an economic, political, spiritual, moral and overall social crisis. Society eats away at itself as it cannot make sense of the contradictions driving it. The crisis of Western Marxism lies in its inability to overcome the subject/object distinction when it comes to society.
How can society both be a real (material) object, while also given the quality of subjective responsibility?
<Two responses emerge. The first cope of Western Marxism is a type of fatalism, which Lenin calls economism. According to this view, politics is not involved in the revolutionary transformation of society at all, which happens only because of economics, or a spontaneous uprising of the proletariat.
>The second (more relevant) is the opposite extreme. In this view, society must act as a pure subject in the form of institutions (party or otherwise), exterminating every trace of its pre-conscious, and objective material being, recreating all society from scratch.
<But both two sides of Western Marxism are incompatible with Marxโs Promethean gesture of suspending knowledge back to being. In the first, being is upheld entirely independent of knowledge. In the second, knowledge is asserted over and at the expense of being. If society will become communist independently of the engaged subjective partisanship of communists, then all you have is the conceit of some subject-in-the-know passively watching their object fulfill the expectations of subjective knowledge. If communism is just some enlightened consciousness, then what you have are psychotic subjects devoid of any trust that their knowledge is actually based in (non-conscious) reality itself, denouncing the latter as โreactionary.โ Knowledge only as โsubjective self-consciousness.โ
>The โpraxisโ uniting thought and practice then is only in the fractal movement of subjective self-consciousness - voluntary โactionโ becomes the โobjectโ of the subject, who then acts on its basis: โobjectโ takes on the processual quality of yet-to-be fulfilled subjectivity. This is exactly why some people place Marxism in the Gnostic tradition: This Western interpretation of Marxism is founded upon a metaphysical distrust for reality. Because of that distrust, good, virtue, etc. lies only in knowledge as pure subjective self-consciousness.
Origins of Western Marxism
<This Western Marxism has its origins in the neo-Kantian Gyรถrgy Lukรกcs, whose seminal work โHistory and Class Consciousnessโ was written to resolve the problem the subject/object distinction posed for the Marxist concept of society, class & history. In order to begin, Lukรกcs engaged in an egregious form of revisionism; blaming for Marxismโs commitment to natural realism Fredrich Engels and his "dialectics of nature."
>To Lukรกcs, when Marx referred to objective material reality, he was merely opposing society as a supra-individual horizon of meaning to individual subjectivity. It did not include objective natural reality, which Lukรกcs brackets as irrelevant to Marxism. Society was โobjective,โ and consciousness was โsubjective.โ Their dialectical interaction, for Lukรกcs, was the basis of history itself. But the material reality outside of social mediation (nature) was irrelevant to, and outside this dialectic, outside history.
<The reason I mention Lukรกcs is because Western Marxism was founded on the false view that he resolved the problem of โsubject/objectโ distinction for Marxism. But he did nothing of that sort, he just changed the definition of objectivity to exclude objective reality itself. Here, objectivity is just the reified totality of social relations, denied of active subjective responsibility.
>This obviously contradicts Marxโs materialism, for which objectivity does include nature, not just society as some purely transcendental horizon. Without including nature in the definition of material reality, then class-consciousness consists in dissolving all society, in all its objectivity, into a pure subjective self-consciousness. For Lukรกcs, the proletarian class is the first โsubject-objectโ which does exactly this.
<This is a gross perversion of Marxism, and it is easy to see the lineage of the Lukรกcsian view in the Frankfurt School, the New Left, โpostmodern academiaโ as a whole.
But is Lukรกcsian Western Marxism really to blame?
>In fact, when Lukรกcs decided to reject Engels, he was just compromising with institutional modern realism. Engels โdialectics of natureโ was too โmetaphysicalโ because it saw something โhumanโ in reality. In other words, the opposite of a metaphysical distrust in reality! In actual fact, the distrust in reality is the very basis of bourgeois modernity. It can be thought as the entire premise of the Age of Enlightenment itself!
<In the realm of science: Metaphysical distrust in reality takes the form of distrust in our conventions, intuitions, religious beliefs, and sensibilities about the nature of reality. Reality is a pure OUTSIDE only accessed by cold, indifferent, impersonal inquiry.
>In the realm of politics: Metaphysical distrust in reality takes the form of distrust in traditional sovereign authority, regarding it as unjust, arbitrary, and tyrannical. Sovereigns must be legitimated by some explicitly abstract constitutional or democratic procedure.
<In bourgeois modernity, only what is in the sphere of explicit responsibility of conscious subjects can be โtrusted.โ Any recognition of humanity in reality itself is no different than a superstition: Reality is arbitrary, meaningless, and malign. Only institutions are Good. The madness of bourgeois capitalism, which alienates mankind from its material being, is the true culprit behind this phenomena, NOT Marxism. All Lukรกcs did was make Marxism compatible with bourgeois institutions. The original problem is the bourgeoisie itself. The Gnostic, occultist, and alchemical origins of the bourgeois enlightenment are abundantly clear. People accuse of Marxism, what is in fact THE FOUNDATION OF LIBERALISM! Marxism is the exact OPPOSITE of this bourgeois conceit of knowledge (gnosis) and formalism.
>In Marxism, the highest aim of knowledge is to give way to reality. This entails a great trust in material being - anything of importance arrived at by knowledge, is already reconciled within material reality itself. The paradox is that this โgiving wayโ is a necessary act of consciousness. Lukรกcsโ response to this paradox revised Marxism itself. But even if Lukรกcs were to be rejected, the problem remains. Furthermore, what is really the problem with Lukรกcsโs revision, anyway? Exploring that reveals the way to a better solution.
<As we have shown, the idea of communism as a pure subjective self-consciousness, is based on the notion that objectivity is just reified social relations. This naturally begs the question of what the content of these social relations consists in, as so far they are only pure form.
>Marxism is historical materialism, and Communism is just the practical application of historical materialism, via the class-conscious (historical-materialism conscious) proletariat, to society itself. But what does that say about the nature of society in the first place? It means society is an indescribable โtotalityโ of individual mental states, opinions, and beliefs, - the objectivity of social relationships, is merely a result of the subjective mind โreifyingโ segments of the totality and treating them as external realities in themselves. Thus here, society has no real determinate content - it is a pure โKantian Thing-in-Itself,โ a mere totality of individual relations that only asserts its existence negatively, via the reification (โobjectivizationโ) of its constituent parts. This means that material relations of production are rooted in reified mental states, not material reality. Consciousness of them (plus action) would dissolve them. Material society is then defined by โthat which subjective consciousness has not yet assumed responsibility for!โ
<Having rejected any specific form of being as *necessarily* material, including nature, it is only upon failing to render the Totality fully transparent that consciousness may renunciate its aspiration to dissolve everything in itself. Totality is the Lukรกcsian sublime. The Totality of individual relations in the form of History, or Society, constitutes a type of absolute objectivity which is not merely a reification - but the free, continuous and holistic content of every possible experience, mental state, and subjectivity. A totality cannot assume self-consciousness, since it cannot be confined to any one self. So that is simply the end of Scientific Socialism: The only thing that can really be known about society, is that nothing at all can be known. This is no more knowledge than Kantโs Thing. Subject-Object distinction reemerges, only now between a subjective self-consciousness (in the form of Party, institutions, etc) rendering transparent and assuming responsibility for all determinations of society and the Totality of relations as the supremely impenetrable object.
>So we are back to square one, and none wiser in answering the following:
Marxism has no reality at all in the West
<Nearly all self-proclaimed Marxists are frauds who havenโt even read Marx, let alone understand him. They use the label Marxism, despite knowing nothing about it, as a pseudo-intellectual obfuscation for their liberal ideology.To begin, what is Marxism?
>Marxism is not a theory of equality. It is not a diagnosis of injustice, nor is it a specific prescription of how to remedy societyโs ills. Marxism is a method for acquiring knowledge about the laws governing the historical development of societies. Marxism thus regards itself as a type of science.

Marxism is the exact OPPOSITE of this bourgeois conceit of knowledge (gnosis) and formalism.
>In Marxism, the highest aim of knowledge is to give way to reality. This entails a great trust in material being - anything of importance arrived at by knowledge, is already reconciled within material reality itself. The paradox is that this โgiving wayโ is a necessary act of consciousness. Lukรกcsโ response to this paradox revised Marxism itself. But even if Lukรกcs were to be rejected, the problem remains. Furthermore, what is really the problem with Lukรกcsโs revision, anyway? Exploring that reveals the way to a better solution.
<As we have shown, the idea of communism as a pure subjective self-consciousness, is based on the notion that objectivity is just reified social relations. This naturally begs the question of what the content of these social relations consists in, as so far they are only pure form.
>Marxism is historical materialism, and Communism is just the practical application of historical materialism, via the class-conscious (historical-materialism conscious) proletariat, to society itself. But what does that say about the nature of society in the first place? It means society is an indescribable โtotalityโ of individual mental states, opinions, and beliefs, - the objectivity of social relationships, is merely a result of the subjective mind โreifyingโ segments of the totality and treating them as external realities in themselves. Thus here, society has no real determinate content - it is a pure โKantian Thing-in-Itself,โ a mere totality of individual relations that only asserts its existence negatively, via the reification (โobjectivizationโ) of its constituent parts. This means that material relations of production are rooted in reified mental states, not material reality. Consciousness of them (plus action) would dissolve them. Material society is then defined by โthat which subjective consciousness has not yet assumed responsibility for!โ
<Having rejected any specific form of being as *necessarily* material, including nature, it is only upon failing to render the Totality fully transparent that consciousness may renunciate its aspiration to dissolve everything in itself. Totality is the Lukรกcsian sublime. The Totality of individual relations in the form of History, or Society, constitutes a type of absolute objectivity which is not merely a reification - but the free, continuous and holistic content of every possible experience, mental state, and subjectivity. A totality cannot assume self-consciousness, since it cannot be confined to any one self. So that is simply the end of Scientific Socialism: The only thing that can really be known about society, is that nothing at all can be known. This is no more knowledge than Kantโs Thing. Subject-Object distinction reemerges, only now between a subjective self-consciousness (in the form of Party, institutions, etc) rendering transparent and assuming responsibility for all determinations of society and the Totality of relations as the supremely impenetrable object.

And so i had to temporarily stop HRT and i feel like i'm dying, currently in a state of induced menopause for a couple of months more and my god, the cold sweats, my throat closes because of the anxiety, depersonalization and disociation makes it hard to do anything besides bedrotting and playing fast paced shooters that let me keep my brain in a constant state of focus in such tasks
and i swear to god, the only thing keeping me from letting me fall apart right now, since my mother decided to stop talking to me because i refused to boymode for her, it's my boyfriend and our future together raising our children in Spain and having them visit their grandparents in Mรฉxico- which hopefully won't go to hell because my brother's gen decide to elect a right winger as president of Mรฉxico to fuck everything up and sell everything to Israel and the US.

Can image boards make a comeback?
X is well-known for being a reactionary shithole where all of the cheerleaders for the Epstein administration congregate together and decide which new edgy talking points they should peddle out, most of which goes โviralโ and is hamfisted on the โfor youโ page. A lot of leftists still use that platform despite how rotten to the core it has become, since BlueSky isnโt anything more than a well-monitored echo chamber. With the rise of AI slop, bots and shills pushing for the most insane nonsense, will we see people tuning out social media and trying to find forums and image boards again?

The Worldwide Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the future Global USSR (All the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are shown in the Map I posted) will flatten the Socially Constructed Reactionary Gender Binary, with all Women forced to have extremely short hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), and Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick banned in order to liberate Women from the chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, while all Western Business Suits and Traditional Religious Clothing are banned as well with everyone wearing Mandatory Mao Suits. The Worldwide flattening of the Reactionary Gender Binary will ironically cause a noticeable Global decline in Transgenders (less Men will desire to become Women once the Aesthetics of Bourgeois Femininity such as Long Hair, Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick, are banned for Women) in the aftermath of the Global Destruction of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity, though Sex Changes will still be Free and Legal to anyone who wants one, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฉโ๐ฆฒ!
Additionally, any Woman who keeps her Hair longer then a Pixie cut (a Very Short Bob cut โmightโ be tolerated only if it is not a millimeter longer then the Chin, but I could change my mind on this very quickly, so it would be strongly advised that all Women keep their Hair no longer then a Pixie cut), wears a Dress/Skirt, or uses Makeup/Lipstick, will have her Head completely Shaved by the Female (mostly Lesbian) International Red Guards, who will march her through the streets wearing a Dunce Cap, force her to attend Struggle Sessions, and put her in a Re-Education Camp, where she will be taught how to become a Liberated Socialist Woman and embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, โ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐จ๐บ๐ต๐ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐โข๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฉโ๐ฆฒ!
When a Woman gets her Hair Chopped/Shaved off She is symbolically breaking the Chains of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that Long Hair on Women symbolizes in the Patriarchal Superstructure of the modern Capitalist and historical Feudal Modes of Production (then it would have been called Aristocratic Femininity), thus meaning that Forcing Women to have extremely Short Hair (Pixie cut or shorter, with a Shaved head being the most Historically Progressive), along with banning Dresses/Skirts and Makeup/Lipstick and making everyone wear Mandatory Mao suits is the only way to Flatten the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary and create Liberated Socialist Women, as Mao said โThe times have changed, Men and Women are the sameโ, and the only way to create a Superstructure of Gender equality that reinforces the Socialist Mode of Production is to purge the Superstructure of all vestiges of Bourgeois Femininity/Domesticity that symbolize Patriarchal Female Subjugation and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary (ie.

So what exactly is bad about this generally speaking? Especially on a neoliberal Earth where the international elite, outside of china, can flee and go anywhere and has no accountability? The strategy of dengist economics has produced the same results that people like Mao and Stalin wanted out of their countries like mass industrialization, electrification, and prosperity but at the same time holding their own societal elites accountable.
So what are the flaws of dengist economics?
So say a Marxist-Leninist economy has all of the stuff important to the state nationalized and operating under scientific planning, it tries to give the basic needs of life like employment and housing to everyone as possible, but there's additionally a private sector for commodity circulation because trying to micromanage every small business to the smallest detail is silly in general. The private sector is heavily regulated to prevent them from subverting the rest of society, and also taxed to help pay for the rest of society.So what exactly is bad about this generally speaking?

Cuba is gonna be invaded by the US by next month, and I don't have much hope in the Cuban armed forces alone.
Either an armed resistance needs to be established in the United States or international voluteers need to be formed for Cuba, either by the Cuban goverment or some communist org (PSL, RCI, etc).

Materialists sometimes become Moralist-Materialists and inadvertently reproduce Abrahamic logic in Secular form. For instance, take these two conflicting forms of morality in the bible:
>Exodus says God punishes people intergenerationally, for the crimes of their ancestors
versus
>Ezekiel says God punishes people individually for their crimes
Now obviously materialists don't believe in supernatural entities like God, so it is up to humanity to catch and punish "crimes" but in deciding what "crime" is morality is created and conflated with legality. You can see this in the accumulation of unpunished crimes. Many if not most crimes go undiscovered, and the ones which are discovered may often go unsolved, and therefore unpunished. An unsolved and unpunished crime challenges the legitimacy of the law. People reinvent morality forms like Karma in secular form to excuse this systemic weakness.
For instance, the vast majority of slave owners died happy, fat, and unpunished. This distresses a great many people, even after slavery ended, so an Exodus style morality is created: intergenerational privilege passed down from abolished institutions becomes a crime in itself, not legally punishable, but morally punishable almost as severe as the crime itself, and the Exodus style morality is applied. Against this Exodus style morality comes the Ezekiel protesting "But I personally did not do anything."
There is an ever ending debate in humanity it seems regarding whether crimes are merely breeches of the law or of a sacred morality which is objective and above the law. There is a never ending debate whether children should be punished for the crimes of their parents, since they benefited indirectly from the spoils of those crimes.
But Exodus style morality can only apply to the crime which is discovered, but as yet unpunished. It cannot apply to the crime which is both discovered and unpunished. Therefore the Exodus style morality becomes an excuse to punish generations for the crimes of their ancestors, while excusing the crimes of individuals as long as they were sufficiently able to hide them and get away with them.
In comes mass surveillance as a promise to create God's Eye on Earth and "solve" the problem of undiscovered crimes by making everyone subject to a panopticon. A tempting offer, but one which should be rejected.

Donald Trump accuses 'fake news' of wanting US to lose Iran war, blasts NYT reporting
>President Donald Trump accused the "fake news" media of wanting the United States to lose its war with Iran during a Monday interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, as he defended the military campaign and threatened another wave of strikes against Tehran.
>Trump argued that Iran's military had been decimated but continued to receive favorable news coverage.
>"All they do is talk and they have fake press. They do very well with the fake press, but because the fake news wants us to lose," Trump said.

>President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will begin major ground operations inside Iran in the coming days, confirming a dramatic escalation of the months-long conflict between Washington and Tehran.
>In a statement posted Monday morning, the President said he had authorised what he called the "next phase of operations" following consultations with senior military commanders and his national security team.
> "The Radical Regime in Iran has refused every opportunity to make a deal. They chose conflict instead of PEACE," Trump wrote.
> "In the coming days, the United States Armed Forces will begin major ground operations to accomplish our mission quickly and decisively."
>The announcement comes after weeks of renewed fighting across the Persian Gulf, including American airstrikes against Iranian military facilities, Iranian missile attacks on U.S. bases in the region, and an escalating maritime confrontation around the Strait of Hormuz.
>Until now, U.S. strategy has relied primarily on airpower, cruise missiles, special operations forces and naval strikes targeting Revolutionary Guard infrastructure, missile launch sites and military command facilities.
>Military analysts expect the invasion to involve: Army and Marine Corps combat brigades Airborne and Special Operations units Heavy armour supported by extensive air cover Carrier strike groups operating in the Persian Gulf Continued long-range missile and bomber strikes throughout the campaign
>Several possible invasion routes are believed to be under consideration, including advances from Iraq into western Iran and amphibious landings along Iran's southern Gulf coastline.
>The White House has not said whether Congress will vote to authorize the invasion before troops enter Iran.

What exactly was Neoconservatism and how exactly did it originate? Was it the philosophy of Leo Strauss? Was it former Trotskyists like Irving Kristol? If so, why did these ex-Trots flip and become right-wingers? Politically, it started in America with the Reagan presidency, so what exactly were Reagan's political influences? Also, given that its biggest proponents were Jews, did it have any Talmudic or Kabbalistic element to it?
Basically, sum up whatever Neoconservatism is. Also, Straussian Neocons formed coalitions with the Religious Right and free market neoliberals despite all three groups having contradictory ideologies. Why?

Just asking because I see people engage in never-ending theory battles online, as well as discounting the contributions of leftists of other tendencies. It seems so strange to me, like instead of acknowledging the good work others have done, while maintaining your own critiques for how to do it better, it seems more in vogue to treat other ideologies as fakes designed to waste your time and meet them with hostility.
I mean obviously this is the internet, people are constantly cranked up to 11, trolling, or genuinely suffering from untreated mental illness. But it seems to me that we're seeing a massive resurgence in leftist thought and action, so I figured people would exercise a little discipline to make the most of the moment. Tbf, this could all be crazy people, bots, government psyops, and algorithmic manipulation. I've just seen people I genuinely appreciate engage in the same shit, so there has to be some element that's real.
Ideological Rigidity?
Real question, how many of you adhere neatly to one ideology? I think everybody vibes with a particular tendency, but personally I'm totally happy to steal good ideas from across ideological lines. I definitely think there's an optimal way to achieve a leftist society as well, however if someone implements another plan to get us there that doesn't fuck others over, I don't see myself being too upset so long as we get where we're going.Just asking because I see people engage in never-ending theory battles online, as well as discounting the contributions of leftists of other tendencies.

Objectively speaking, these are the most powerful and widespread brainwashing technologies currently in existence. Precisely because this here is a highly ideological forum, I wonder why this topic isn't being discussed here at all. You don't consume traditional mainstream media, yet you let X and YouTube dictate what you see and rewire your brain? And quite apart from that, the scale of algorithmic manipulation is not even remotely comparable to traditional media like television or newspapers. Are you even aware of what you're doing?

If you don't talk about OIL you think the recent wars are about "security" or "nationalism" or "anti imperialism" then you are a fed who defends the US oil industry by distracting from what's actually going on.
So let's talk OIL. World oil consumption is now 103 mbd (million barrels/day). This number is expected to peak in 2030 and depending on decarbonization scenarios, it could decline to between 50 mbd and 80 mbd by 2050.
Now take a good look at the oil production by countries. And look at the reserves.
What does all this tell you? It tells us that oil revenues and profits are going to tank in the coming 20 years. And oil is one of the last major profit centers in capitalism.
It's not a coincidence that major oil producers like Iran, Russia, USA, Gulf, Venezuela are all the major players in recent geopolitical upheavals. This is not a world war. This is a war specifically between oil producers trying to expand marketshare in a world of shrinking oil demand and profits.
Now there's another crucial aspect to consider here - that is the cost of production. The Gulf can produce oil cheaper than anywhere else in the world, while US and Venezuela oil needs prices to remain above $60 to be profitable.
Now can you connect the dots? In a shrinking oil world, it's the Gulf/Iran that will win out at the end by being the last remaining oil producing area that can produce profitable at very low prices. The US/Venezuela will have to sell at near cost to have any marketshare, and that's assuming they're still able to have any marketshare at all.
But the US and Gulf are mostly allies so instead of fighting each other, they've decided to neutralize the Iranian and Russian oil industry. This achieves the common benefit of both sides maintaining their marketshare while keeping prices high which benefits both US/Venezuela and Gulf.

It seems to me that the most popular political position these days is some form of developmentalist national liberalism. Most people would like a strong but democratic state to intervene in the economy to eliminate the worst excesses of capitalism, direct investment to promote employment growth and modern industry, and generally avoid imperialist meddling or international entanglements. These kinds of positions were very popular in the 1950s and 60s, and people on the street are generally agreeable towards them.
So why do today's ideological arguments not reflect this? Why is everyone cosplaying as a fascist or a communist when their policy positions remain fundamentally liberal? Why are people turning to Sorel or Stalin for theory and not Nehru or Nasser? Why is liberalism constantly disparaged as bankrupt or illegitimate when all the alternatives to it end up looking exactly the same?

Satanyahu and his genocidal settler ilk largely take their genocidal murderous ideology from the teachings of Rabbi Abraham Kook, a late 19th-early 20th century Latvian rabbi. Kook was a rabid Zio who largely based his Zionism in a mix of Talmud, Kabbalah and German idealism, specifically Hegel. He believed the Jews establishing a racialist settled-colony in Palestine was part of a mystical process of โredemption.โ He came to Palestine as a settler and ended up dying there in the 1930s when Palestine was illegally occupied by the British. His thought is very Hegelian with highly fascistic overtones, and anyone can defend with Palestine must learn his thought to fully understand the genocidal nature of Isnโtreal.

โ"This means that, on the basis of the existing productive forces and within their limits, it is the relations of production that play the decisive role. The whole of Capital, and all the works of Lenin and Mao Zedong, serve as a commentary on this thesis, which has never been recognized by Marxists."
โLouis Althusser, "On the Reproduction of Capital" / "On the Relations of Production" (written 1969-1973, published posthumously).
โ"The changes and development of production always begin with changes and development of the productive forces, and in the first place, with changes and development of the instruments of production. Productive forces are therefore the most mobile and revolutionary element of production. First the productive forces of society change and develop, and then, depending on these changes and in conformity with them, men's relations of production, their economic relations, change.
โRelations of production develop depending on the development of the productive forces, but they, in their turn, react upon the development of productive forces, accelerating or retarding it. And it must be noted that the relations of production cannot postpone lagging behind the growth of the productive forces and being in contradiction to them for too long, for the productive forces can develop to the full only when the relations of production correspond to the nature and state of the productive forces and allow full scope for their development."

The only real limit to these money-raising methods should be, "how could this negatively affect the movement?" Consider the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery by Bolsheviks - this event's recklessness and harm to civilians seriously damaged the Bolsheviks' reputation in Georgia and among other socialists. Contrast that against the 1906 Helsinki bank robbery, the Dusheti treasury heist and the Bezdany raid by various socialist organizations, which had no citizen casualties.
If you can do so with little risk, you absolutely should be pirating entertainment media, shoplifting and investing in mutual funds.
More so, if you are not publicly affiliated with the socialist movement, and you have the means, you should be buying property, owning factories or being a landlord. If your tenants and workers aren't socialists, it's very important for you to take as much of their money as you pragmatically can and use it to combat capitalism.

Bonapartism describes a state that achieves relative autonomy from any single class by claiming to stand above class conflict entirely ruling personalistically through plebiscitary mass appeal and charismatic authority rather than through a party program or a coherent class coalition, while materially serving capital's interests without capital directly controlling the state apparatus. Bonaparte's actual regime combined: personalist rule bypassing parliamentary/institutional mediation, appeals to a cross-class "people" against both organized labor and the traditional elite, military prestige projects and adventurism as legitimation (the whole Second Empire foreign policy pattern), and state-directed economic development (Haussmann's Paris, railway financing) alongside crushing independent labor organization. That's close to a checklist match for Trump: personalist rule, state economic direction, military/security emphasis as legitimating spectacle, hostility to organized labor and the left, appeal over the heads of institutions to a plebiscitary mass base.
Bonapartism in the Marxist tradition is specifically theorized as arising when class conflict reaches a stalemate where no single class can rule directly, so an autonomous executive arbitrates from above, critically, without needing to make durable concessions to labor the way a genuinely hegemonic class-coalition government would. Gramsci's extension of the concept (he uses โCaesarismโ interchangeably) is explicitly about a strong personalist arbiter stepping in during a legitimacy crisis of the ordinary political process, offering national/military grandeur and personal charisma as substitutes for programmatic concession. That's the theoretical explanation for exactly why Trumpism is anti social welfare while pro military spending Bonapartist/Caesarist rule doesn't need to buy off labor, because it's explicitly a crisis arbitration form that draws its legitimacy from personal charisma and national mythology rather than from a stable coalition requiring material payoffs.
So: Bonapartism (Marx's term) or Caesarism (Gramsci's near-synonym) is the actual name for 19th-century style personalist strongman, holistic state-directed military-industrial policy, minimal welfare concession, legitimated by charisma and national grandeur rather than institution-building or class-coalition bargaining. Specifically it explains personalist executive rule that serves capital without needing programmatic concession to any class, including capital itself.

As a result of escalating tensions revolving around some unapproved bishop appointments, it's officially happened: the Vatican has declared the tradcath Society of Saint Pius X to be schismatic and therefor not just its bishops but lay practitioners too are excommunicated. While the largest amount of tradcaths tend to congregate in America there's still plenty spread out all over the world. What are the implications of this split? Possible Antipope soon?

I sound like a conservative here but all communists nowadays look fat and uncared for. Aren't ML parties supposed to prepare a vanguard for the revolution? If so why do most ML parties have members like slobs? Every time I look at my local communist org I get repulsed and honestly, if I weren't a communist myself, I would never take them seriously.
What is the solution to this degeneracy?

Proletarian Science Fiction
I look at early Science fiction, and it seems a lot of it before the 50's had a communist character to it - thinking of stuff like "Red Star" or the whole topic of Russian Cosmism, it seems a lot of this got swallowed up by liberal and pro-colonial science fiction (starship troopers, star trek). So what happened? How would you contrast proletarian science fiction and bourgeoisie science fiction generally?

How would the following issues be solved ?
>information problem
How do you determine where to allocate labor, and where to distribute the products
>Under/Over reporting problem
There is an incentive gap between the workers at a factory tasked with production, and the planners who do not know how much they can produce.
How do you make certain that the workers are truthful about their productive capacities ?
>innovation problem
How do you make sure that there workers aim at adopting and implementing new technologies to the fullest extent possible, and that they also try to develop local innovations by themselves.
In essence, how do you make sure that the workers use the most efficient means of production.
>ECP/Price determination
If the economy is currency-less, how do you determine opportunity-costs ? If there is some form of tractability between goods, how do you determine the prices of different goods.
How do you solve the following issues in a planned economy ?
Let's imagine an economy where production and distribution is determined through a plan, where workers obey an elected factory manager, and where there is no massive corruption or parallel market activity.How would the following issues be solved ?
