/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Right now the Trump administration is signaling its intentions to begin criminalizing the left, opening investigations, and moving to eliminate even the most non-threatening anarchist book clubs. They're speaking openly about designating "antifa" as a terrorist organization. Will anyone be surprised if within a couple years the PSL, the DSA, and your local larp group are also designated as criminal organizations? Will anyone in Europe or anywhere controlled by American influence be surprised if right wing governments there adopt the same methods they do in the US?

How can serious left wing organizers under these conditions continue to engage in building above ground parties engaged in feckless reformism under these conditions? Yes, officer, here is our formal centralized list of dues paying members and their legal names and credit card numbers. We have a right to free speech, officer. We're a legally registered nonprofit organization, officer. You'll be hearing from my lawyer, officer. Does this seem like a strategy prepared for the future to you?

People need to shift their organizing underground in advance and we should have done it yesterday. We need to build hardened cell networks and we need to take encryption and countersurveillance seriously. These cell networks need to be seriously prepared for prolonged asymmetric conflict against the most sophisticated surveillance state on Earth. If a crackdown happens, even if you aren't violent, it would be infinitely preferable to be in a hardened underground group that survives instead of sitting out in the open larping that this time we can make social democracy work or that our book club will amount to anything.

Right now, Trump is just a senile figurehead for a cabal of guys like Stephen Miller who are gearing up for Palantir fascism and race war. Anyone who could stand in their way has proven themselves to be too cucked to attempt anything. The worse the economy gets, the more they're going to start lashing out at the low hanging fruit.

>inb4 burger/europoor proles are incapable of revolution so why bother

If you do nothing there's a good chance that they're going to kill you personally, retard. The burgerreich endseig will not be fun to live through. If you don't plan on moving to China somehow you should take this seriously.

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.

Why did the British colonial system in India formalize and exploit an indigenous social system that posits a fundamental moral inequality between groups of people?

Would it have been better that the British impose the imperialist European values of universal human dignity and rights on their colonial subjects?

Ah, look, look! [sniffs violently] This whole question of the hammer and the sickle—my God!—it is already a kind of ideological joke, eh? Because when we look at symbols, we think they are innocent little pictograms. But symbols—they are like those weird Slovenian pastries: they always hide something inside, something messy, something unexpected. [sniff]

And so let me propose—of course, in a totally irresponsible, speculative way—that the hammer and sickle is not merely a workers’ emblem, no! It is like a dialectical offspring, a strange symbolic synthesis, between the Christian cross and the Islamic crescent-and-star.

You see, in early Christianity—especially before it became this gigantic bureaucratic megachurch—there is this radical concern for the poor, the oppressed. You have this idea that the first shall be last, that the beggar is closer to truth than the emperor. And what is this if not the proto-Marxist suspicion that the ruling class is full of, eh, ideological nonsense? [sniffs]

And then, Islam—look, please, I say this with all respect and purely in symbolic terms—brings this martial decisiveness, this warrior energy. Not in the Hollywood sense of violence and terrorism, but in the sense of the angel with the flaming sword, the insistence that faith is inseparable from action. It is a kind of ethical militancy: do something, engage, submit not to oppression but to the absolute.

So what happens when you combine these? [sniff] You get the hammer and sickle: the Christian concern for the poor—the weak, the exploited—joined with the Islamic ethos of active struggle, of refusing to be passive. It is as if the cross and the crescent enter a Hegelian marriage: thesis, antithesis, and then—boom!—the proletarian symbol emerges as the bastard child.

And the beauty—eh, the obscenity!—is that Marxism tries to become a universal emancipatory project without the supernatural elements. It keeps the moral passion of early Christianity, the activist thrust of Islam, but throws out God like old cabbage from a Slovenian kitchen. [sniffs, gestures wildly]

So the hammer and sickle becomes this strange thing: a materialist Pentecost, a secular jihad, a revolution without heaven, formed from the leftovers of two great religious traditions, but now made edible for the modern worker.

And this, of course, is precisely why nobody wants to admit it! Because it reveals that even our most “atheist” symbols are hPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Why the fuck does FINANCE make so much money despite not producing anything and therefore being even more parasitic and useless than even normal capitalist companies that make goods and services, its like capitalism in its purest form of just being a machine that turns money into more money with zero social utility.

What it says on the tin, this applies to Western Leftism as a whole, but particularly American “socialism” can be written off as basically the militant defense of capitalism and Empire

What do I mean? American Leftism almost entirely centers around resurrecting the 90 year old New Deal. That is literally it. Nothing more radical. Nothing less imperial. Hell, usually not even anything less racist! American leftoids do not care about the history of the New Deal, do not care about the contradictions of the New Deal, do not care about the outcome of the New Deal nor the purpose of the New Deal. Unironically all that matters to them is that for nearly a century they have been taught that socialism is when the government does things therefore FDR was a communist. And that’s a good thing. This is unironically what the majority of American leftists believe. I know why they believe these things, but is it possible to break them out of their worship of the Settler Fuhrer (FDR) and his radical program to save capitalism through Americanization and American totalitarianism?

I noticed there is no thread for France related shit. So let this be one. French people deserve a safe space and guarantees for their continued existence on loser imageboards!
J'ai remarqué qu'il n'y a pas de thread dedié pour la France, alors que les salauds américains et anglais en ont des centaines. Français, ne succombez pas à l'impérialisme anglochiotte!

Subjets of Macronpiter, leave a post.

Since 2021 the Burmese Communist Party has re-armed and re-entered Burma both from across the border of China and by re-activating sympathetic Communists in the All Burma Federation of Student Unions (a process that started in 2017).

With the start of the civil war, they re-activated and are fighting in an alliance with the People's Defence Forces against the Tatmadaw.

The BCP/PLA follows the principles of Maoism. At the start they had ~1,000 soldiers under their command. Now it is said to be 3,000. They have a presence across most of northern Myanmar (Pale Township, Kan Duak, some areas near the capital, Mandalay, Shan State, Sagaing, Magway and Tanintharyi regions).

None of the territory appears to be governed by the BCP, they collect taxes but as of now have not yet formed liberated zones with their own socialist governance.

Please post any discussion or notes about PLA in Burma here.

Hear me out because I've been thinking about this for a long time.
The means justify the ends, why not use the capitalist mode of production to raise class consciousness and delve deeper into contradiction to its maxima? We ought to spread internationalism via transnational corporations, an internationalist party with bosses multi-billion dollar business that finances propaganda exclusively to win the information war. Accumulate capital to utilize later, accumulate capital to harness power and influence. Ultra-CPC that focuses not on one nation but the entirety of EuroAsiatic continental influence that spreads it wings across the World. Be bourgeoisie to liquidate the bourgeoisie, be capitalist to end the capitalist mode of production, the NEP has not been fulfilled yet, industrialization is not enough, be Machiavellian, read and study the genius of Nick Land.
ICP will not do it. Make an ICP that will enter the EU parliament an ICP that will campaign in the bourgeois democracy of America, make an ICP that profits, an ICP that employs labour, make an ICP that's a business with a boss. Use the internationalism of capital - the global element to spread influence and when the time comes with all the accumulated capital and businesses harnessed - start the class war, once militaries have been privatized and bought. To end the contradictions within capitalism once and for all, harness them. Be greater than the chauvinist nonchalant neglegent CPC which remains concerned only with itself and its lands. Grow as global capital, be Soros, welcome Soros, be the ultra left wing of capital and pave the road for the real movement.
Down with equality, equalities create contempt and make workers docile. Be capitalist in practice, be communist in programme to end capital, to expand, to grow, to overthrow.

Started going over national governments the other night just to se how many could accurately be described as "Fascist" at this point and this is what I came to.
It really is insane how much of the world is run xenophobic thugs enforcing """property rights""" at the barrel of a gun and even more so how basically every "liberal" state on earth outside of Latin America or Southern is trending that way.
It makes me think Lennin was more right then he knew about the final stage of Capitalism being Fascism; only I dont think its going to be limmited to the imperial corps.
Honestly at this point I think almost every nation on earth is going to go fascist eventually and it will only be in the wreckage of the resource wars and climate catastrophe of the 21st century that the world, a century from now, will begin to look for alternatives once the death drive has completely burned itself out..
