>first is the assertion that marx was not a theorist of barter,
he wasn't, at least not in the sense that adam smith was. marx pointed out (and this was verified by anthropologists in the 20th century) that under "primitive communism" (what we now call hunter gatherer societies), barter took place between communities rather than individuals. So the level of barter was not a constant search for double coincidences of wants between individuals living in the same society. At the community level things were shared (to a considerable extent but not a total extent) while between communities barters were arranged. Basically bater occurs between groups that tolerate but do not entirely trust each other, in hunter gatherer society. Furthermore (and here I'm going with Caroline Humphrey and David Graeber) to the extent that people did barter inside primitive societies, it wasn't pure barter, but rather long term arrangements that didn't rely on a continual coincidence of wants. I.e. I give you fish today, since they will go bad, and you give me the stone axe a week from now after you have made it. I accept this time lag because i trust you and we will make similar arrangements in the future and have had similar arrangements in the past.


Here is Marx in chapter 2 of capital volume 1 where he mentions barter for the first time in that book:

>The direct barter of products attains the elementary form of the relative expression of value in one respect, but not in another. That form is x Commodity A = y Commodity B. The form of direct barter is x use-value A = y use-value B.[5] The articles A and B in this case are not as yet commodities, but become so only by the act of barter. The first step made by an object of utility towards acquiring exchange-value is when it forms a non-use-value for its owner, and that happens when it forms a superfluous portion of some article required for his immediate wants. Objects in themselves are external to man, and consequently alienable by him. In order that this alienation may be reciprocal, it is only necessary for men, by a tacit understanding, to treat each other as private owners of those alienable objects, and by implication as independent individuals. But such a state of reciprocal independence has no existence in a primitive society based on property in common, whether such a society takes the foPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

what was the name of that pre-WW2 German author that wrote how stereotypically non "aryan" germans were typically the most fanatical Nazis because they knew that they were on the fringe of being considered racially acceptable. Note how the entire high command of the nazi apparatus were a men who were mostly dark-haired, brown-eyed and somewhat short by german standards and who personally proved the lunacy of the aryan "race" as a concept by their mere existence

The thing about hitler and Nazism broadly speaking is that it is socialism of phenomena and not the noumena like marxism is, he saw the Jews which embodied capitalism but are not capitalism itself, just like his racialism, seeing the backwardness of other cultures as a manifestation not of capitalist imperialism but of the people themselves. Nazism is socialism but of the vulgar kind that fails to abstract from the concrete.

Okay, so I'm not European, and I'm not fond of mass migrations to countries because I know they destabilize nations. However, my position on the Jewish question is this: it's almost impossible to pretend they aren't vastly overrepresented in various fields, intelligentsia, entertainment and politics. That doesn't mean they deserve genocide, but I follow the Gumilev school of thought that the Jews should be 'remade' by being placed in a province where they do manual labor for generations and even intermingle with the locals to create a new Jewish race without

It truly is a mystery. It must be not because of any of these reasons, which repeat themselves in every society across the world just with the races swapped around. No, it must be because, using only data from this hyper-racist, founded-explicitly-as-an-ethnostate, highly segregated society, that the males from their dominant class are naturally superior, and males from other races are naturally inferior. Yes that must be it.

>inb4 why dont african women date white men then?
People caught in an open war of extermination, in which the losing side if irredeemable no matter what they change by virtue of their dna, which defacto is what the usa is or was, are generally not attracted to each other.
Thats why you dont see palestinian girls dating IDF soldiers. But that is why you did see conquistadores dating native women, because their societies, even if they had racial castes, had explicit tiers between native and spanish. You cant be half-black in the usa. Someone who is 90% genetically european is still black by virtue of skincolour and hair texture. Only those with african ancestry to get the right set of phenotipical characters to pass for some variety of white can become white, and only if they immediately hide their history in most cases.

Meanwhile for asians, half asians are tolerated so long as they act white, and quarter asians are indistinguishable from some variety of european phenotipically.

This is quite possibly the only place where culture focussed "leftists" have a point in that the cultural sector of society plays a big role in perpetuating ethnic domination, and that, together with economic emancipation, this is an area in which a big impact can be made just through diversity in roles. And the right knows this, thats why it hates it.

A materialist analysis of inceldom

It is a well known fact that young males are having less romantic and sexual relationships than ever. Many on the right blame this on feminism which is half true but not the whole truth. The fact is that inceldom is a natural result of late capitalism.

In previous generations these men would have likely graduated (or even dropped out) of high school and gone into a unionized factory or other blue collar job, and made a high enough paycheck to pay for a house and support and spouse that likely didn't work. I tend to think of this documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AAUcmyXbg4 called two american families, which follows two blue collar families one black and one white in the midwest as they live through the deindustrialization of the late 20th/early 21st century and how it kindof destroys them. Not just singleness, but divorce, the breakup of families increased dramatically in this period, and while rightoids are half right to blame "feminism" what they don't realize is that capitalism and increased social liberalization are inherently linked.

In many cultures, especially in the past, marriage wasn't about love so much as duty and obligation to family, ethnic group, god(s), country, etc. Now it is about "enriching the already rich lives" of the people involved. If a market based economy goes on long enough people stop thinking of themselves as members of historically rooted and grounded ethno-religious communities and instead begin to think of themselves as CEOs of a corporation of one.

Capital is a totalizing force which commodifies everything it possibly can, and conservatives who think they can somehow draw a line in the sand at human sexuality and sexual relationships are mistaken. It's too late for that. The demonic entity known as capital has already been summoned, and it can't be controlled. Capitalism will eventually turn all social relations into market relations, making most human relations transactional, and this is the predictable result. In the past a guy would take a girl on a date, and pay for her dinner. Now the girl posts a nude photo on onlyfans which the guy pays for and masturbates over, and the girl uses the money to buy her own dinner on uber eats. What was previously an authentic human relationship has now been intermediated by the marketPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>yes, but think about the process of reproduction. there are millions of sperm but one egg. the expendability of men is in the very act of sex. millions compete for one female, like in the battle of troy.

Eggs are lost through menstruation and miscarriage.
So women are expendable as well.

>truth (wisdom/being) is feminine. reason (alienation) is masculine. the body (objectivity) is feminine. the mind (subjectivity) is masculine. what we call femininity thus is often just a body-oriented consciousness (etymologically, the word "matter" comes from "mother"); which is why gay men focus so much on appearance, while hets can easily let themselves go, yet expect women to stay beautiful. this detachment from the body's immediacy is masculinity. this is why "being a man" often includes masochistic exercises which train this detachment. this element of detachment is phallic, since phallus is a substitutory object, like how a gun or cigar acts as an extended penis. the penis is external; masculinity is alienated. this is why the ends of man is in the dildo.

Can you provide proof of this?.that the etymology for the word "matter" is the same for "mother"?

Or about how masculinity is about self-denial of objectivity?

>it is self-limited since homosexuality's unconscious identity is in the mother. this is why gay men are not attracted to women and why they have a gay voice, a gay face; gay everything. a gay man is not just a guy who coincidentally likes men - i hope youre not so much of a rube to believe liberal bullshit like this. or worse, maybe you believe in the "gay gene". there are contemporary theorists of "traumatophilia" who claim that queerness is a sort of trauma-bonding. this might be true in some cases, but it misses the point of eroticism being tied to one's subjectivity.

It seems to me your under the typical assumption that homosexuality means "femininity".

Also, you look down on homosexuality as defective love, yet you gush at the idea of doing homosexual things, wanting to be desired as an object of beauty, ready to live out your fantasy of hebeandrophilia.

While I understand that distinction of homoeroticism vs homosexuality I will not tolerate such contempt coming from you against gay dudes

I also don't like your glorification of youth suicide to save face from aging. Age numbers aren't personality traits within themselves
You're falling into the trap of idealising youth as innocence.

In fact, I bet that this pederastic drive was responsible for the infantilisation of young people for the past three centuries.

Also, why is sexual attraction to male youth referred to as pederasty but sexual attraction to female youth is called pedophilia (or rare cases, the correct term, hebephilia)?

Also, do you agree that there's a difference between sexual desire and romantic desire?
The two can be related but they're often wrongfully assumed to be the same thing.

Speaking of "ugly"…

>to conclude, the concept of male beauty then is universal, but unconscious. it has its contemporary expression in the femboy, which is a homophobic character, and is equally a fascist archetype, of a timarchical (spartan) remembrance, or of a military ethic. a femboy must be adjoined to the beautiful man also, which must be the citizen. revolution must then mean an abolition of blights like obesity. obesity is the aesthetic of consumerist excess which stains the possibility of love (by making love a contingency of codependent uglinesses, rather than the sublime judgement of beauty). to me, fascism in its civic code is about an imperative to male beauty thus (and of beauty in general, which is why all fascisms are eco-fascisms; as per savitri devi. the current civil order is between priests and merchants, while fascism is between warriors and peasants), which is the homoerotic impulse that usurps the formal identity of the homosexual, who only beautifies abstractions (this is the typical leftist who denies worldly beauty and so exalts ugliness; a typical jewish subjectivity also - alain de benoist sees this in how the jewish god has no artistic form in his iconoclasm and thus his being is abstracted from aesthetic judgement. this links to protestantism's twin destiny with judaism in modernity, and especially where financial power is concerned. this priestly attitude extends into all leftism, which calls moral evil "disgusting" but sees physical ugliness as virtuous. Christ is aryan, not semitic, because he has a physical form. jews and muslims literally cannot conceive of this vital theology). there are many beautiful gay men i must admit, but it is a vanity without spiritual purpose. what warriors must do is put gays back into churches and shut them up into closets. gays have a place, but it isnt in the public space.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you're saying that the typical backlash against beauty standards which has lead to "fat acceptance" and "alternative beauty" is because people don't want the responsibility of beauty but want to be seen as beautiful nonetheless?

Also, why are you blaming leftists for this?

And why are you arguing to shut up the homosexual males? You cannot do that while advocating hebeandrophilia.

>>23390
>prepubescent boys and girls are androgynous, until puberty, when the girl becomes fertile, yet the boy is still intermediated in his development. girls also mentally develop earlier than men, showing nature's investment in the male sex (which in nature is typically more beautiful). the distinctions are unequal then, as we see historically and even today. young girls are taken as wives, yet boys are not taken as husbands - a period of development is socially arranged then, which ought to be his training. so the boy then has his particular stage of development, contrary to girls, who are already partial women.

Boys would be considered partial men then because they're expected to do physical tasks. We had preteen males be active warriors or black smiths.
You cannot dismiss their maturational status while fawning over female youth.
Hebegynophilia is a cishet male cognitive disorder.
Also girls don't mentally develop earlier than boys. Physically maybe but mentally?
Again that's because society fawns over female youth more. Boys are treated as dumb comic relief.
Also, boys start making seed by age eleven to fourteen.
Around the same age girls start to ovulate
This whole "girls mature earlier" is exaggerated.

Also, boys are taken as husbands around the same age girls are taken for wives. But they're both trained in their respective roles and given arranged dates.

Do you believe in telegony?

If it's only on an epigenetic level, I'm kind of fine with it. As I am with the proven microchimerism through pregnancy. But the thought of microchimerisms potentially occurring as consequence of unprotected vaginal sex alone makes me depressed. Though if I had to guess I'd say only the former two cases are likely to be real.

there's a slim chance that there's some unknown mechanism for the process but the only evidence for that would be circumstantial
>lots of hunter-gatherers believe in it and they know a thing or two about fucking
>scientific institutions are vaguely aligned with societal pressures that went as few pressures on women as possible
>biological knowledge is incomplete
I wouldn't worry about it but I wouldn't be surprised if it were something. If it exists it's probably very minor

Books about other communist revolutions and state establishments are also welcome.

I want to know how the conditions and reasons for revolution happened in the first place
I want to know what happened during the civil wars
I want to know what happened after they won or lost
I want to know what were the mistakes they made

Don't forget Trotsky's own History of the Russian Revolution. It's really, really fucking good. Each chapter is written as an in-the-moment narrative, then at the end of each chapter Trotsky gives a breakdown of all the theoretical lessons. The book perpetuates some myths about the revolution and especially Lenin's April Theses, but I don't care because it's just such a page turner. Definitely Trotsky's best work.

I wanna revive this thread and refocus it on the German Revolution. For those of us in the in the imperial core, I think that it is a shame that the German revolution isn't as studied as either the Russian or Chinese revolutions. This is due to that fact that the material conditions in Germany at the time more closely match those in the imperial core. For example, Germany was a very urbanized and developed capitalist power, with it's own sphere or influence and it's own colonial empire. It also had a well developed parliamentary system, even if it was hampered by the power of the Junkers. Linked below is a good primer for the topic on youtube. I'll be going through the bibliography and finding e-books of the cited works for my own study. As I find them, I'll post them here.

At a lot of community colleges you're allowed to audit courses. You can just show up and take the class for free without receiving credit. Tuition is essentially a racket. You're not paying for the service of being taught. You're paying for the reception of credentials upon course completion. You can complete a course without getting credit for free. Some enterprising individuals will audit courses to see whether they can pass them easily before taking them for real. This way they get a "taste" of the difficulty of the material and see whether they're missing any gaps in their knowledge before finally paying for the real deal. This is to avoid paying tuition twice if you fail a course the first time.

>There is no other text written in the mid-nineteenth century that has held up as well as the Communist Manifesto of 1848 by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. Even today, entire paragraphs of the text correspond to contemporary reality better than they did to that of 1848. Starting from premises that were hardly visible in their era, Marx and Engels drew the conclusions that the developments of 170 years of history fully verified.
Last article he wrote, there seems to be a pattern of old theorists turning to the Manifesto. Comrade Xi also emphasises its depth.

Collected Short Stories of Maxim Gorky (1894 - 1924)
