/edu/ - Education

the key is to not simply be against usury, but also against profit, rent, and wages. Communism seeks to abolish the wages system. profit, interest, rent, and wages are all part of the system of exploitation.

>>25821
Western style higher education, especially STEM fields, embody the epistemology and ideology of secularism and capitalism. You'll notice that most chuds and neo stalinists are people from STEM backgrounds i.e. people who believe we can rationally predict and plan all human affairs with statistics, the scientific method etc.

Secular here is relative.
They’re still motivated by some “higher power/higher calling”

>Reducing Dworkin to "hyperbolic grievance mongering" however is nothing more than an undiluted expression of utter misogyny
The only way you could even begin to believe anything Dworkin wrote is if you believe that women are innocent, hapless, childlike creatures who are entirely incapable of controlling any aspect of their own lives by their own power and whose natural predisposition is to completely submit and grovel before men if they show even the slightest sign of dominance and are not entirely holding themselves back.

I know Dworkinites will deny up and down that she said that all heterosexual sex is rape, but that is simply the natural conclusion of her beliefs. If you define sex partially coerced through massive power imbalance, and also see men strong, dominant and violent while women are feeble, meek, cringing and more or less in a state of perpetual childhood, then you could only conclude that these two groups is a form of rape in the same way that an adult having sex with a child is always a form of rape.

>>25834
Not what was said, nor an argument. Modern ideology is liberal garbage.

>>25818
>I read Dworkin's account of her relationship with Israel as a thinly veiled analogy to her growing disillusionment with the women's liberation movement.
The very term "women's liberation movement" in this time-period and in a Western context (that she is almost exclusively referring to) is so retarded as to be fucking comedic, if not for the fact that there are stupid entitled burger-women and men that actually subscribe to this ideological bullshit.
>"women's Israel"
<Shilling for nationalist-ethno-state but for a specific sex

>she gives a literary expression to the mass suffering of women as a class
Women are not a separate class, but an identity. Take off that Soviet flag, you bring shame to Marxism-Leninism.
>the barely repressed need for their collective vengeance.
What need? Do you even know what 'need' means? Vengeance on whom?
>nothing more than an undiluted expression of utter misogyny
No, it is dismissing pseudo-intellectual projection of a hateful spinster and not giving the long-winded rubbish more time than it deserves. Calling a cunt out for being a cunt is not misogyny you liberal.

The problem with Dworkin isn't that she's wrong but that's she's trivial. Marriage and prostitution are both paid rape. Who cares?

>>25843
Having read some Dworkin, I don't know if she ever directly said that because it seems like she never directly says anything ever. All Dworkin does is complain about men, and all positions she is said to hold seems to be more inferred from the exact way that she is complaining about men in any given work rather than directly stated.

>>25711
So more “Pink Swastika” nonsense, I am genuinely sick of the frequent comments that any outward display of violence or bigotry means someone is a self-hating closet case. Do people really think no straight man has ever been insecure about his masculinity? Is it really not obvious that queerphobia and strict adherence to traditional gender roles can be motivated by something other than self-hatred?

You argue in bad faith and use a false narrative to try and claim another false narrative, and cry about "le evul Stalin/Beria/tankeez" in the mean time. I'd suggest going to >>>/leftypol/ or better yet reddit, those liberal echo-chambers are more your speed.
>inb4 'N-no u echochamber'
People have discussed Katyn and the debate of it being the NKVD or not before, they also discussed Soviet deportations before, this is acceptable discourse. You are engaging in dishonest fallacies, putting a slight spin on old Cold War myths and exaggerations.

This is a pretty good examination of it all, It's important to note though that most Communists are able to admit mistakes and excesses commited by Socialist nations. I don't doubt that when the Soviet Union started taking in Polish officers (Most of who fought in the Polish-Soviet war) they treated them pretty badly, but the idea they spread is that one executioner (Vasily Blokhin) executed tens of thousands of Poles by himself right next to Smolensk (A city of at least a hundred thousand and all with German guns and bullets) and nobody knew till the Nazis came by is just insane.

The Book and film are a detailed, section by section dissection of Katyn myths and the context of Polish, German and Soviet actions before, during and after the war.

why not say "reality is hegelian", then?

>>25810
They mention what Marx adds to it.

The subject and object are reversed in the formulation. If Marx accurately assesses reality, then Marxism is realistic; reality is not Marxist.

Reality is not Marxist, that's just a clever quip. The truth is Marxism strives to understand reality and has made theoretical developments with strong explanatory and predictive power. That's the real meaning of the phrase.

>I haven't read enough of my priors on dialectical materialism
You're misusing "priors", this phrase doesn't make sense.

Hello folks, I was hoping someone could give me some decent literature on the Babiy Yar massacre in English, I wish to send it to a friend for them to study. It's hard to find anything non-Russian on the subject that doesn't insert anti-communist drivel into it and unfortunately, unlike myself, she cannot read Russian. Help a comrade out.

great post, anon

I have no idea about the exact numbers or ratio but the Russian meatgrinder tactic is world famous plus Stalin executed his top military leaders.

You can see this tactic in Ukraine today with a complete disregard for Russian losses.

You read none of this thread, did you?
>Stalin executed his top military leaders
Did you time travel here from 2012? What the fuck is this shite?

Between 1934 and 1939, the Red Army's command lost over than 56,000 people, 10,000 of them arrested. Another 14,000 were dismissed for drunkenness and 'moral degradation'; the rest were dismissed for other reasons – illness, disability, etc. In the same period, 6,600 of the officers previously dismissed were reinstated after further proceedings.

As for loss ratios see pic 1 rel

These sorts of brainless takes belong on /leftypol/, or ideally pol, and not /edu/. That being said, hopefully you learn a thing or two from this.

>>25794
Actually here's some more on the "officers"
To understand the scale of the purge, it's worth recalling that in 1937, Marshal Kliment Voroshilov said that, “the army had a total of 206,000 persons in the command structure”. The total size of the Red Army in 1937 was 1.5 million men at the time. Admittedly, poor training of the commanders of the Red Army was a problem in the 30s, but not one caused by repression but rather the rapid increase of men in the armed force. Already in 1939 the army had grown to 3.2 million men, and by January 1941 – to 4.2 million. By the beginning of the war the command staff amounted to nearly 440,000 officers and staff but training of officers is longer than of ordinary soldiers and thus it was out of proportion. The country was preparing for war, the army was growing, undergoing rearmament, and the training of officers came too late.
29% of Soviet military personnel had a higher education before the repressions. After them, the number became 38%. By 1941, the number had risen to 52%. Note that for the decade before the repressions, the number had remained stagnant at around 20-30%.
