Rosa Luxembourg is the most overrated over-glazed communist of all time. In every dispute/difference she had with Lenin, history demonstrated her wrong. Theoretical or practical, nothing of value. It makes me wonder how such a naive person could become one of the Leaders of the German Communists.

>tfw no femdom rosa luxembourg gf
why even live

I dont give a fuck that she was wrong on certain issues (bit too idealist, imho), she was right on more than enough issues. Theory isn't what makes her such an important figure anyways and it's not why the bourgeoisie hated her so much that they eventually ordered the succdems to assassinate her. Rosa and Karl carried the revolutionary worker's movement, communism and socialism within what is now the DACH region pretty much alone after bourgeois liberals took over the SPD in 1914, saved it by founding the Spartakusbund and KPD and they lead the revolution in 1918 which briefly established socialist republics in Berlin and Munich before heinously getting backstabbed by succdems. Without her there would be no KPD, no RFB, no USPD, no SED, no DKP, no MLPD, no SGP et al., and, most importantly, no DDR as all the founding fathers of the DDR were KPD members.
Bourgeois libshits, leftcoms, succdems and the like like to stir conflict among communists over her legacy by claiming that she was opposed to Lenin, Stalin and the USSR but that's a blatant lie. There were some disagreements but overall she supported Lenin and the USSR in a quite radical manner.

>>2652824
>Big difference.
It just means she couldn't pull off a revolution and establish a state while Lenin could. However, Lenin being a great one of kind statesman doesn't mean he was right about other theoretical issues.
>Using the collapse of the USSR as a gotcha is kinda weird because by that logic we should stan Zionism.
Zionism is a nationalist project hellbent on building a single state while the USSR dissolved because of competing internal nationalisms. So there is a direct connection between them that shows why one lasted and the other didn't.

>>2652820
Lenin's fudemental shortcoming was his weakness on problem of dealing with bureaucracy where he wrote just 'educate workers' into being bureaucrats to resolve the problem ignoring fact that such elevation would just lead to them having own interests. Despite later toying of Stalin and co. around with various ideas, it ultimately wrecked USSR as this class grew alien, althrough bureaucracy was quite overrated in list of problems compared to many other factors in fall of USSR, both structural and more random.

You witness conflict between nocklumentra class in Hungary Bulgaria DDR and China very explicitly where formerly radical workers are clashing over bureaucratic control, which is quite bad and testament to shortcoming of just administrative methods to build socialism. A kind of producer-technocratic democracy&whole process democracy was necessary on a more serious way.

USSR missed technical-revolution, its system of economic planning rewarded bad behaviors, it spent half of industrial output on military, military&security interests control budget(andrponov puts 80 percent on war against china), its own leaders go to west and prefer there&want their approval, their failed 'allies' as derg are spending almost entire budget in self-mutiliation and war, they start off from inferior technology, unproductive agr. sector due to too much unnecessary laborers(as with experimental efforts show sov. agri. couldh have been better ran), failure to renovate capital stock in right cycles despite efforts, low funding for medicine causing stagnation in life exp. in brezhnevian era, party-state which increasingly became nihilistic and lost revolutionary belief, added with gorbachevs genius plans of creating dual economy which crashed the system etc.



If Lenin and Rosa won by Lenins proposal for earlier peace actually winning out and Rosas desire for electoral path meeting success with hyperinflation discrediting SPD and Kapp Putsch, German-Soviet Int. would resolve 99 percent of problems and lead to worldwide communism with more sensible planning and technocratic-proletarian planning appratus than OTL.

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.

I doubt it. A new world order is emerging and the us won't be leading it. Also Donny's Achilles heel, the epstein case, isn't going away. A lot of the threats serve as distraction but I have a feeling the Senate will eventually have no other choice but to shut him down.

>>2652852


The most blood boiling thing has been all these liberals posting about how the police need to step up and side with the protestors against ICE. The police need to be out here protecting the people! Call the National Guard!

Are we a nation of goldfish? Does this shit not sound absolutely fucking ridiculous to anyone who was on the streets in the summer of 2020? To anyone who chanted "Abolish the police!"? And now, you have these same ratfink fucks talking about how we need to INCREASE, yes increase ICE funding so they can get proper police training! Sorry Chuck, but flashbanging newborns is PROPER POLICING IN THIS PRISON HOUSE OF NATIONS! Oh yes, I cannot wait to hear about how "abolish ICE" is an "unelectable cause" and so we should focus on "reform". Let's get them some body cameras so they can livestream the brutality Gaza style!

The goal is to normalize apartheid-style violence against one group, while hoping another group can be swayed by "normality" and consumerism. They want you to turn a blind eye to the struggles of Black and Brown people in this country so you can go get another matcha.

We cannot go back to brunch. We cannot stand by and let people be disappeared. People in America should look into what Pinochet did to dissenters under his rule. He would take them on helicopter rides and dump them, alive, into the ocean. He would publicly execute people to send a message. He would send death squads to places where dissenters, union organizers, and other leftists gathered, and kill them. There are active concentration camps in America right now. There are rumors that the regime is using ICE abductees to test things like Elon Musk's Neuralink. The average German did not know the horrors of the concentration camps until after they were liberated. Even in the age of information, it is safe to assume we do not have a full picture of the cruelty being inflicted in these death camps.

There are still people who think this is a "Trump" problem and blame those who didn't vote for Kamala for this, as if Kamala's number one campaign promise wasn't more ICE, more border patrol, and creating the "most lethal" military possible. Every single administration has supported increasing funding for ICE. The oppression of the worker and the fomentation of race-war politics is bipartisan, only masked by "decorum."Post too long.

Assadists removed civil rights for Kurds for decades and were corrupt and worthless subhumans backed by bandits and bribes.

Assad family controlled over 70 percent of economy.

The so called based Assadist generals and ba'athist state totally bent down to fuck over everything 1989 style or kabul style to Jolani and cooperates with him on everything.

Assad and Ba'athist regime were retarded dogs who were neoliberals and failures responsible for current Syria on first place, and were filled with arab supremacy even while getting assraped.

MLKP's tentative attempt on the institutionalisation of the 'Rojava Revolution'

MLKP, which is mainly operative in Turkey, Iraq and Syria, is one of the early arrived Turkish-Leftist forces in Syrian territory. Since August 2012, the militant group has joined in decisive battles like Hasakah, Rasulayn, Tel Abyad and Tall Tamr. Under the banner of the International Freedom Battalion (IFB), the Turkish-Leftist group took part in combat operations in Sinjar and Tishrin Dam, as well.

In addition to supporting the 'Rojava Revolution,' the initial role of the MLKP was the politicisation of the idea of revolution and mobilisation of the masses.

With this aim, the militant organisation activated its manpower in areas ranging from agriculture policies to public health and trade. The main institutional bodies as vehicle of the development of the revolution were community centres/people houses ('Mala Gel') and the Institution for the Unity and Solidarity of the People (SYPG).

These bodies have contributed 'Rojava Revolution's' realisation in socialist character. The group emphasised the uniqueness of the revolution regarding the historical process, military progress and its core demands.

The 'Rojava Revolution,' according to the MLKP, encompasses both the social movement of the youth and women, beside trying to call for a class movement and nationalist, anti-imperialist demands. However, these claims advocated by the MLKP, have made the revolution ambiguous in character and made it seem like a tentative attempt to appeal to a broader audience.

As illustrated in the first congressional resolution of the group's political and military branch the MLKP Rojava, the implementation of the community and public assemblies system, the development of the collective public properties, the attribution of the revolutionary attainments to the poor, the popularisation of women and youth mobilisation and the revitalisation of the socio-cultural values, are determined as the essentials of this revolutionary model.

This year in the magazine we have plans to feature a variety of women as models. Of course the large majority of the internet left doesn't have any love for sex workers of any sort, and has a very puritan view of sexuality that I've always thought is alien to the reality of the masses, or atleast those engaged in alternative lifestyles. A lot of it is madonna/whore complex driven, and despite claims otherwise, many are restricted by their protestant christian views on these topics, even if they don't or never did identify as such, the superstructure still influences.

I want to create a strong juxaposition between the inceldom of the right wing, the redpill "men going their own way" misogyny that ultimately alienates young men from the very thing they seek with a sex positive narrative that says "look at the life style you could have if you had some fucking principles". I have never really liked the puritan outlook the online left has on social workers (read: you can get banned from the deprogram subreddit if you are one). Literally have been approached by numerous women about being in the magazine, all ideologically aligned women mind you, and I've consistently made the editorial choice to turn this down. I've always been afraid of allegations of "working for the male gaze" or "male chauvism" in regards to doing that, while also fearing the backlash from the online left for having that sort of content in the magazine.

But I know a few women who would love to do that sort of thing for the magazine, and my literal editorial partner is a lesbian woman telling me that its a good idea, so you know, fuck it, let's do it. Being a rightoid is so uncool.

you say that as if hormones and like two surgeries at worst would kill any medical system
also there aren't that many fetishists in the first place to "steal" surgeons away from the diseased,it's a non-problem unless you have evidence (or you just meant it hypothetically)

>>2652811
Well, gender dysphoria isn't just a "one surgery and done" situation. It requires continuous observation with an endocrinologist and a therapist. Doubly so if it is with a minor who suffers from gender dysphoria. When a non-dysphoric trans person transition you are not only taking hormones but also this intensive psychiatric and professional support. This is not to mention other, non trans patients who also need hormone therapy, i.e women who suffers from severe and unhealthy menopause.

Look, i know i was getting too much in original reply. Obviously the Islamic Republic's system is not perfect and i do not think we should emulate the Taliban or Savonarola's social model. There is no problem with satisfying your individual fetishes or desires, and it many cases these are necessary to stabilize communal harmony.
But i draw the line when your individual preferences are taking priorities from people who actually need it. And this is the problem with the West's approach to identity: "umm you are whoever you say you are sweetie" no, i respectfully disagree. I think if you want to transition because of some sexual fetish you are not as valid as someone actually suffering from crippling, life disabling gender dysphoria

>>2652809
I wonder what the sentiment among the youth is actually like for these topics. In my experience everyone is just overworked and severely isolated. The whole "alt" thing feels like it's been mined out by corporations directly and through "content creators". You have the metrics so it's probably working out so far but it just feels hollow to me.
>I have never really liked the puritan outlook the online left has on s(exu)al workers
You have to take into account that a big part of the English-speaking Internet is not from English-speaking countries, I'd imagine most people in the deprogram subreddit are foreign. Prostitution in imperialized countries is forced by imperialsm and the destruction it creates in the economy, the beneficiaries are always the local compador rich, sex traffickers and western passport bros who are a very right-wing community. The context is very different. It happened in my country, and my experience and experiences of the people I spoke to always support the image created by Engels in Origins of the Family. So I don't support prostitution and most people from imperialized countries probably don't either.
You are free not to care about that since material conditions in the imperial core are different but it is something you have to take into account when you interact with left-wing people online.

Singapore is an economical and social miracle undoubtedly, low rate of corruption, high rate of employment, FDI, Income and quality of life in general.
All this achieved through a strict neoliberal economy, Lee Yew is practically worshipped by Neoliberal for not only his policies but also for his Anti-communist operations.
Marxist (atleast I haven't found any) can point out to any contradiction plaguing Singaporean multicultural society.
Does this economical path is the way to prosperity, as an alternative to liberal western ideology.
What does /leftypol/ say on this? Can he be refuted by Dialectical Materialism?

Man all you fucking angmohs piss me off. Singapore is a deeply misunderstood country, especially if you ever only listen to its own loudest source, LKY. You have to consider how and why Singapore was created in the first place.

Singapore is in an amazing location for maritime trade. It is still the busiest port in the world. If you ever wonder why Singapore has a majority Chinese population despite being a Malay island, it is precisely because they came over due to already established trade routes by the Hokkien population (hence their overwhelming presence in Singapore/SEA). Singapore was far more developed as a city than anywhere else in the colonial era than say Malacca, also Raffles promising the Peranakan bourgeoisie free port in Singapore.

LKY did not get into power as a neoliberal, but as a fabian socialist. The 'communists' he denigrated constantly? They were the people who formed the PAP with him and put him into power! Ironic that his start in politics was representing people in court known as the Fajar Trial that he would later label as communists. His neoliberal turn was after Singapore had public housing, transport healthcare and even if a public pension. After Singapore built (and still has) SOEs, nationalised all the land. Of course the current PAP is slowly priviatizing whatever they can, with the current opposition Workers' Party pushing them back.

Hell, it is deeply ironic that LKY would say these things >>2618229 when his road to power infamously demonising his 'communist' ex-allies as Chinese chauvinist as well (their leader was not as well educated and could only make speeches in Hokkien). He doesn't even like Chinese people as well, crushing the dialect association and banned dialects on state media.

Nor is Singapore an amazing place to be in right now. The neoliberalisation has left the city state with low TFR on par with South Korea and Hong Kong. And this is already with constant immigration and Malay minority, the native chinese and indian would be even lower. Rising living costs and declining economic power has meant that the PAP couldn't make any gains against the Workers Party, despite exploiting the tariff situation like Carney and Albanese did. Ironic that LKY spent decades ranting about welfarism only to have the current Prime Minister be called Voucher Wong for his constant reliance on govePost too long. Click here to view the full text.
