What are some other types of liberalism to combat?

its discovered and is just one manifestation of the higher order or Absolute

>>22934
Discovered but indelibly partial due to the interfacing of human limitations, so both 'real'/a fragment of the absolute, symptomatically, and also insufficient/a construct of the human mind in correspondence to its perceptible immediacy.
In other words, it is partially discovered and partially invented.

Wine moms, depending on how you define/identify them, are perhaps some of the best suited (some of them) to turning left. A lot of them just buy into whatever NPR or MSNBC tell them sure, but so many feel disappointed and dejected every time the Democrats fail. I know because I literally see it. The American voter, buy being so uneducated, have such insane politics it would drive you mad. I've met Hillary Clinton Stans who also love Luigi Mangione, or Pussy hat wearing protesters who want to see tribunals for ICE. It's crazy. You can't pick and choose your population in the country, you just have to work with who you have.

Just start asking them about Palestine and they'll start talking about how the Free Palestine movement is a Russian conspiracy against the Democrats. Ask them how they feel about homeless people and they'll say they should be sent "somewhere" unspecified and that it's all mental illness and drug addiction that has absolutely nothing to do with obscenely high rent. Given the Hitler particles you can see just oozing from the "Wine Mom" types when you bring up homelessness, I honestly wonder what "somewhere" they have in mind. They don't want socialism, they want another Obama and they'll get that in 3 years, likely in the form of Cory Booker.

You start with a clear and concise idea of communism, based on Marx's writings, and establish a political program of tactics meant to bring about that idea. Then you ask people if they agree with your program and if they do, they can join your movement.

If you don't give a shit about the end goal you're gonna have a bad time. The average alienated worker's ideas are a grab bag of incoherence, even if they are 'radicalized' they are not gonna swing your way unless you dose them with logic. Maybe you could have some success with single-issue campaigns but those never lead to anything greater and can easily be copied or co-opted by the reactionary right.

>Have you seen the tendencies of the rural working class? Or like, everyone in America.
Here's something you don't hear because the online Left is more likely to have read Sakai than Marx: The average Russian worker in 1917 was about as racist as the average White worker in America at that time. What were pogroms but the equivalent of lynching in America? Yet, they created socialism, not fascism. That's because there was a revolutionary party with a revolutionary theory; instead what we have are a bunch of petit-bougeois podcasters and their fans whose entire slogan to workers is "Live with less" instead of "Peace, Land, Bread". This New "Left" notion that petit-bougeois activists and intellectuals are going to save the world should die already.

Why is labor allowed to be hated but not education?

Amazing how people will readily question the need for labor discipline but will get offended over questioning school discipline

Labor disciplines itself when set to some task. If you don't do the job assigned to you, if you don't pull your weight, you won't work at some place. The other workers do not want you there.

All of this was premised on the idea that workers know how to work and didn't need to be told. That is the most basic rule. The workers in charge means exactly that; that there is a body among the workers that handles disciplinary action.

The moment you introduce some technocratic management from outside, where the incentives are not the workers' own, you've already detracted from the task of labor itself. This is how you shit up a workplace, create intrigues, and get the slaves to attack each other. It's always for that purpose. It is premised on the belief that workers are evil and stupid and will just destroy everything if they're not managed by a boss that is detached from labor and sees labor as a purely desultory and miserable act.

Sadly, the mangers were proven true, and this happened mostly because the workers really were evil, because they were taught that evil is stronger than any goodness in the world. If workers do not want society, then what exactly are they doing among society? The genuine aim of the laboring classes is to be free of overbearing management, and they will work towards that aim. Once established, they turned viciously against other workers and the lowest class, having established security for themselves and their buddies. There is no law of labor itself or "law of nature" that required this to happen. That is how history for humans turned out, for reasons humans understood well but that "the theory" insisted wasn't happening as it was happening.

If however the question assumes that workers do this purely out of incompetence rather than malice, that is a faulty assumption. Anyone who works learns by heart what is necessary for whatever work task they are set to. If they do not know this, they will have to learn, or they will surely sink. The malice of labor against other laborers was already established in humanity since time immemorial. What management desired was to intensify that malice and glorify it, naturalize it, and essentialize it. If that was accomplished, then any impulse of the workers to band together out of necessity would be permanently negated—and so it was done, and the workers could only watch as they were set against each other by intrigues and schemes, and then were told it was illegal Post too long.

There's more to discipline than punishing misbehavior. It's more a question of how to effectively motivate workers to work more.

>Of course more remuneration for working longer hours and odd hours is something to be kept. And it makes sense to have some element in the salary that is performance-based as long as that performance can be unambiguously measured. Like carrying sacks… I have to admit I don't think most jobs are unambiguous like that. Some bonus might be distributed by co-workers voting on who should get it.
You are a social democrat

>>24181
The right of the producers is proportional to the labor they supply; the equality consists in the fact that measurement is made with an equal standard, labor.

But one man is superior to another physically, or mentally, and supplies more labor in the same time, or can labor for a longer time; and labor, to serve as a measure, must be defined by its duration or intensity, otherwise it ceases to be a standard of measurement. This equal right is an unequal right for unequal labor.

Pan-Africanism is really Utopian at this point in time. You might as well be talking about pan-slavism or pan-orientalism or pan-Indianism(whatever the term for the subcontinent would be) or pan-Latinoism. If you were to say any of these others it seems immediately farcical but people always want to LARP about pan-Africanism for some reason.

>trying to appeal to people's pre-existing moral values by showing that Christianity agrees, in order to convert them to Christianity
what does your religion offer in terms of ideas then? xD I'm already perfectly Christian I guess, no need to learn anything new or do anything about it

Of course in identifying as a christian you identify with other real people, and you come together to reinforce your shared ideas, and this gives a sense of social validation, which is the real desire catered to by religion. Validation. That's kind of pathetic if you really think about it. Billions of people seeking reassurance that their irrational, repressive beliefs are right. And look, the all-knowing man agrees with us and supports our irrational beliefs! How could anyone disagree with us?

>Being a Christian is a calming experience in some way.
Of course. Because you have can perfect certainty in your beliefs, values, and actions because the all-good all-knowing entity is backing you. Don't mind that you can't verify its existence, believing in things with no proof is also a virtue! Y'all are living under the cultivated hallucination of an all-powerful, all-good, all-knowing replacement for daddy and mommy. It's a psychopathology. Straight to jail.

>Christianity is compatible with a leftwing worldview
I invite anyone who falls for this shit to read Henryk Grossmans essay on Christian and Religious Socialism. It can be found in the second volume of his collected works. It goes through a history of attempts to merge Socialism with christianity throughout europe. It paints a bleak picture. It's basically a form of tailism. It's probably good to go to the masses wherever they congregate, with no special discrimination against religious congregations, but we have no use for calling our morals (that we already know are right!) christian morals, or making up immaterial forces that we can imagine cheerleading our every word and deed. It only waters down the potency of our message and we will be fought against by clergy every step of the way, since religious institutions are not democratic. Along with that religion fosters cross-class community and preaches to a cross-class audience, and thus preaches bourgeois values and a class unity message [and for pePost too long.

>I think whether you're religious or not Christianity has plenty of universal values
Not really no. It doesn't say anything that prior societies didn't already come up with. Christians really love appropriating concepts that are either obvious or much older than Christianity.
And, obviously, God isn't real. Jesus, assuming he was actually a real person, was not divine. The basis of the religion is false, the values it provides are either redundant or harmful. It should be cast off. It's an ancient religion from another land, it has no value to us.

Christianity has been the global religion since the fifteenth century. All the universal values of Christianity are found in older beliefs

yes please

can anyone recommend me lit on christian socialism? what version of the bible can I reference most succinctly and with the best reliability to scripture?

my personal view is I absolutely do not believe in the divinity or at least the omnipotence of god, but I believe jesus was 1000% commanding the proclamation of socialism as both a personal and social mandate, and was incredibly based, and we don't need god for that anyways

and never underestimate the power of christianity to mainline westoid brains into radicalism

Ok ? Theres at least one hundred more that say the opposoite.

>Why do adults always say that newer generations are less literate when kids nowadays read and type more text than any other era?
Don’t read primary sources, books, they read in other ways

>Also, most adults are incapable of remembering let alone appreciating any academic material and they're not held in contempt for it. Yet kids are morally burdened with the task of academic fulfillment.

You know that books were considered blasphemous in the first century AD?
And they still use books in schools or use virtual school courses with extensive passages.

It's not really the media that's the problem.
Because we have hundreds of web articles showing history events that even official history books won't tell you.
If the media format was really the problem, then why was it that even before iPhones, people were complaining about academic performance tanking?

Bruh. Even in the pre Internet days, people didn't read primary sources much.
And we have more articles and e books online than ever before with extensive reach on a lot of subjects.
