There is an assumption among some in the staff that the users here on /dead/ prefer for it to remain a secret board as opposed to a main board among the roster listed on the main page and top header.

Is this true? Let us know on this thread.
If the opposite were to be true, then we might consider putting the board on the main page up to a staff vote.

Greetings, Alina.
I am Prof. Liene Palinka, the fictitious young scholar who dwells at the Daugava riverbed. I believe that authority and order prevents a just society, as all "ordered society" uses a hierarchy that prevents equality and unity. I am anarcho-individualist. Death to fascism.

i just realized that there is no point to being intellectually rigorous anymore. nobody cares. human beings do not concern themselves with truth. we are just selfish animals who love violence and imposing our will on whatever and whomever we can.

even if you do find some people who see through the madness and refuse to go along with it, you are completely ruled by the material reality and the enforcement of consensus from the masses and the ruling class. isolation is the only solution, but capitalism is like a predator that never sleeps, never stops, never rests. it comes for you eventually like death.

Life is a curse, not a gift.

Real Engels on 'Socialism, Utopian and Scientific'.



 

For those who are unaware, left-communism is an umbrella term that emerged from the left-opposition in the 3rd International.

The left-communist term encompasses Italian Left-Communism – which is split between the ideas of the ICP and of the ICT –, what ever the fuck the zionist ICC is, Council Communism, the ideas of the Situationist International, and Communization Theory (which itself is split between the various interpretations of what communization is.)

Arguably, appelism (the ideas of Tiqqun and the Invisible Committee) can also be included but it seems like they are more focused on alienation rather than communism, at least that's the impression I got after finishing reading Bloom Theory. Also, their French counterparts are dicks.

Those who adhere to the ideas of the ICP are not councilist, as they still support unions. This can be illustrated with the (many) ICP('s) working with trade unions across their international branches. The meta party stuff you talk about, are you talking about the historical and formal party theory that they believe in?

Those who adhere to the ideas of Onorato Damen/ of the ICT are a lot more sympathetic to Council Communism, as they see the unions as mediators and suggest that ICT members should join these unions in order for them to create revolutionary groups which will break away from the unions and form a workers' council.

>>6389 (me)
However, both are still Leninist (forgot to finish my post).

>>6390
>However, [ICP and ICT] are still Leninist
How would you justify your claim in regards to the latter? From what I've seen they almost systematically replace Leninism with Luxemburgism / dutch-german leftcom influence. Isn't this what the whole falling out between Damen and Bordiga was about? It seems to entire hinge on (if I'm not missing something) Damenites believing Luxemburg was right vs Lenin on multiple areas and Bordigists, completely disagreeing, having to split, leading to PCInt (Damen) and ICP (Bordiga) in the 50s.

Left communism is too optimistic.

>>6392
The split between Damen and Bordiga was due to how they preferred to organize the party (with Damen wanting to retain Democratic Centralism while Bordiga wanted to abolish the voting system within the party, creating Organic Centralism) and which terms they used (e.g. Damen and co. defined the Soviet state as State Capitalist while Bordiga defined it as State Industrialist). Another difference between Damnites and Bordigists is the subject concerning the historical and formal party, a theory that had come up from the ICP which Damenites reject.

Here are some articles by Damen outlining why they split:
https://www.leftcom.org/en/articles/2011-01-21/amadeo-bordiga-beyond-the-myth-and-the-rhetoric-0
https://www.leftcom.org/en/articles/2014-10-13/you-can%E2%80%99t-build-the-party-playing-with-paradoxes

>>6389
I would like to correct my statement concerning the ICT's stance concerning unions as I have gottenit wrong due to fault memory. Damen, in "You Can’t Build the Party Playing with Paradoxes," states that:

"To this end the "Italian Left" aims to create with the permanent organisation of "factory groups", even in the midst of enormous difficulties, as training centres for ideological and political dissemination which become in fact vehicles for slogans critical of the unions. Factory groups solve the problem of contact with workers in the areas which are socially and politically the most sensitive to party propaganda, a prime and indispensable condition for a policy of recruiting new worker cadres on the basis of active militancy and revolutionary struggle."

Thus they do not suggest that ICT members infiltrate the unions and create workers' councils unlike what I said.



 

Assuming a definition of anarchy as a state of being where there are no vertical hierarchies between individuals, it's safe to presume that it's quite a common occurrence in daily life. We look for anarchy, and try to create those moments in our lives and the people and relations around us. This is not denying the overall superimposed political hierarchy inherent in the state and government, and you could argue for that reason no "anarchy" may happen inside a state.
Beyond being oddly reductive of anarchy can be, I believe anarchy between people and in certain spaces can occur, albeit temporarily or unsustainably. Moments like people meeting someone new at a bar, kids playing, friends talking, parties, queer events, and so on. All these places and situations have the potential to be in anarchy, but of course not every single instance of those occurrences IS anarchy. The overarching social dynamics of age, maturity, condescending speech and whatnot would invalidate this "state of anarchy".
For as difficult as it may seem, it would seem rather interesting for someone to capture these brief moments of "anarchy" in life. People do it unintentionally everyday, but something focused with that in mind seems like it could yield some more interesting results. Thoughts?

>>6351
>a state of being where there are no vertical hierarchies between individuals, it's safe to presume that it's quite a common occurrence in daily life.
I don't think it is. There are really no individuals and slowly individuality is collapsing or an illusion. If there are no individuals, they can't be organized into a hierarchy or non-hierarchy one way or the other. Individualism enables domination because only when people become individual objects is it possible to control and manage them in a bureaucratic way.

>people meeting someone new at a bar, kids playing, friends talking, parties, queer events, and so on

In all of these situations, there are inevitable asymmetries and power imbalances. When kids play, there are dominant kids, more senior kids etc. bars, parties, "queer events" (whatever this means, I mean is a party of queer people really that different from heteros? Doubt it) all have their social dynamics where there's acceptable and unacceptable behavior, people who are more authoritative than others, things you can and cannot say, insiders and outsiders etc. To change this, you'd have to encourage people to live anarchy, but I don't think that's really doable.

It seems to me that anarchists are too liberal. They see humans as atomized individuals who should be free to contract social relations with each other, but in a way that avoids hierarchy. In many ways, this is liberal thinking and also impossible to implement.

On the other hand, the idea that you can create your own spaces insulated from state and capital, a kind of counter public, has been done successfully, but mostly by religious groups e.g. Muslim Brotherhood, Mennonites, Amish etc. They can do so because their grassroots organizations are built around a moral tradition all of their members share. Basically, they have a belief system that they themselves have authority over which allows them to reject and resist wider society. I'm not sure anarchists could do this because their own morality is paper thin and many oppose morality outright.

Ahem

Marxism has no reality at all in the West. Nearly all self-proclaimed Marxists are frauds who haven’t 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 society’s 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 Marx’s 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 ‘object’ 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 ‘Promethean’ 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. “Communism is the riddle of history solved.” 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 ‘good news’ to the despairing proletariat. Class consciousness, the so-called ‘vanguard party,’ and the CommunPost too long.

Shortest leftist meme

OP is a faggot, as usual



 

I start:

>Having observed the social reality that all living things on earth are incessantly engaged in a struggle for survival, that they kill each other to survive, I concluded that if there is an absolute, universal law on earth, it is the reality that the strong eat the weak. This, I believe, is the law and truth of the universe. Now that I have seen the truth about the struggle for survival and the fact that the strong win and the weak lose, I cannot join the ranks of the idealists and adopt an optimistic mode of thinking which dreams of the construction of a society that is without authority and control. As long as all living things do not disappear from the earth, the power relations based on this principle [of the strong crushing the weak] will persist. Because the wielders of power continue to defend their authority in the usual manner and oppress the weak—and because my past experience has been a story of oppression by all sources of authority—I decided to deny the rights of all authority, rebel against them, and stake not only my own life but that of all humanity on this endeavor. ~Kaneko Fumiko

… That night Felipe dreamt of Europe. He saw himself in all the anarchist demonstrations that were happening in the old continent. He saw himself imprisoned by the reactionaries beside his great teacher Biófilo Panclasta, the anarchist. The next day, at night, they resumed their dialogue.

“Teacher, tell me how you managed to get out of jail so many times?”

“Well, son, there were many influences. The first thing is that in every country I was in, I belonged to every anarchist movement that there was; for example, I already told you that in Italy I belonged to the anarcho-syndicalist party; in Spain, I was an active member of the FAI; I was also a personal friend of Lenin and Stalin, but what aided me the most was the eternal spirit of Marx, which I would invoke in the moments of greatest danger.”

“The spirit of Marx?”

“Yes, Felipe. The spirit does not ever abandon you; for us, it is something like what the Holy Spirit is for that little priest over there.”
