Here we see someone that should be on the gulag but is not, as showed by the dude in the video, this is crearly an failure of Stalinists and Maoists.

extremely retard stalinist

As a fellow oriental despot, I agree we must accept this criticism as our failure. In the future more diligently to mire thoroughly repress the degenerate enemies, working towards their physical elimination, but also their metaphysical abolition.

>Politics is discourse and not an actual conflict between forces
To recognize your collective material interests and to organize, agitate and struggle for them, particularly against competing interests.

>good bad good bad good bad
stfu its about developing land efficiently moron, morality is objective and a social construct. All that matters is revenue and profit, utopia is unachievable and every economic system has their own definition of one

So in that case, what is the incentive for workers?

John Dolan was also one of those guys, a right-wing war nerd who was into Jane's Fighting Ships when he was young. It's funny when they're talking about some warmonger in the news hyping up some threat and suddenly Dolan has a flashback to the same thing happening decades ago when he was consuming that stuff all the time.

It's definitely a type, kinda like Tom Clancy who main talent was churning out potboilers and showing up at events to sell them, and he had knack for promotion. He was really enlivened by technology but never understood any of the villains he put in his novels. Clancy was also apparently assisted by institutional forces in the U.S. because the CIA were the heroes in his books and he showed up at their events and associated with people like that, so he was a propagandist too.

I think the kind of stuff that gets published or televised in the U.S. anyways skews toward jingoistic stuff and people are heavily propagandized to. Here's an article from Dolan on Clancy:

>Clancy was born in 1947. So he was 20 years old in 1967. Good age to go to Vietnam. Did you ever hear about Clancy serving in Nam? No, you didn’t. That’s because he spent the war at a safe little Catholic college in Maryland, making sure he had a deferment. “Hail Mary full of grace/Keep me far from Charlie’s place!”

>I was born in 1965. Nam was over before I got my first pubes. I’d’ve gone. I’m not saying I’d’ve been a good soldier. I’d’ve sucked — but I’d’ve gone. And died. It probably sounds like bragging but it’s not. I know how I’d’ve died, some dumb way like stepping on a mine. Entrails dragging in a rice paddy. All the cool dudes in the squad laughing at me, listening to Hendrix, passing around a joint while I bled out. But I wouldn’t’ve spent the war hiding out at Loyola Maryland.

>That’s the worst part: Maryland! The stupid fuck didn’t even have the sense to buy a van and head for SF and the hippie chicks like the smart draftdodgers all did. He spent the sixties studying accounting. So he’s not just chickenshit, he’s stupid.

>Clancy divorced his wife Wanda for a 20-year-old groupie. Left ol’ Wanda and their four kids and never looked back.

fascist / right wing have hard on for everything that seem associated with power and virility, military is the most extreme and obvious example, also allow them to larp/rewrite history and sound cultured to other uneducated ppl

>>549913
>All games promote fascism, militarism and colonialism.
plainly false. And even the ones that include it in a "positive way" can be extremely interesting for education and making people understand things like geopolitics are a lot about power relation, interest, historical legacy and realpolitik, and that those systems can push you to behave in completely inhuman way

cringe ass white devils boring hobby

Change is at the individual level, of only the individual. Societal change does not change with the individual on the other hand. Society =/= individual.

where is this from

I mean clearly if it was as easy as his example everyone would be a billionaire, the difficulty with stocks is that they take years to mature and also work similar to a joint-stock company (or cabal) in that youre rewarded based off percentage of the total social capital - put in more to get more out.

These two caveats make it nearly impossible for someone living under depressing real wages for the last 50 years to even save for retirement- which is only a viable option for the upper middle class - let alone become a millionaire.

>be the change you want to see in the world
Ironically the collectivist cabal of the capitalists have done more to spurn the overthrow of capital - falling rate of profit, increasing impoverishment of workers - than the working class has done in 50 years. So potato potato.

Unrelated, but absolutely don't do stock (or crypto) gambling to earn money, especially not if you are inexperienced. You are most likely going to lose your money, as the vast majority of hobby traders do. The system is not set up for you to make money. It exists for hedgefunds and corporations.
The only thing worth looking into is ETF savings plans.

Overturning the dominant mode of production is difficult because each person's existence depends on participating in that mode of production and one's participation strengthens and legitimizes the system. The fantasy of changing the mode of production through changing ideas doesn't work because people don't live off of slogans, people need food and shelter which can only be acquired through participation in the economy. A better approach is to build organizations that can provide economic necessities outside of the capitalist system but this is difficult and requires dedication.

Unironical insanity induced by being terminally online. I don't think you have much hope of recovery, OP.

I know the Kellog's/Frito Lay/etc people were already striking but was October 15th anything?

>>552153
>people were already striking but was October 15th anything?
no, it was pure coincidence, though thier is a strike wave unrelated to the Oct 15th autism, almost 40,000 hospital workers and 60,000 hollywood workers are gonna strike soon

>>550860
just regularly purge opportunists until a better system is thought of then applied lmao

>Communist should not build orginisations, parties and recruit people into them
ok mr fed

>>545339
the problem with this is the state has a huge vested interest in preserving the right wing and protecting private capital. that's why they give out military equipment to cops

>>545395
>With all the messy self defense laws throughout the US for example, there wouldn’t be much recourse to the law for those fools.
completely delusional. the state will always come out to bat for these guys even if it means contradicting their laws, it's in their best interests. it's been happening for more than a year now in portland

Does the fact that you need/want things to get worse so you could achieve your goals, not trigger any kind of retard alerts in your head?

CPP/NPA deliberate exaggerate their strength in public statements & if you actually read through past stuff you'll notice continuing inconsistencies. IE in 2012/2013 they openly stated that they had around 120 "guerilla fronts" and in 2015 or 2016 they were celebrating that they had "expanded" to something like 70 guerilla fronts.

This isn't really something to criticize them over as every armed force in the world over-exaggerates their strength. It's important to understand though that often times bourgeois states also have an interest in exaggerating the strength of an enemy force, ie in Peru where the countries far right blatantly exaggerate the threat of the senderos as a kind of boogeyman to shore up pety-bourg urban votes & in the Philippines where Duterte & the govt are under pressure from police/military to exaggerate the NPA's strength in order to produce more funding for police/military (which usually goes into the salaries of top state security officials) and allow for increasingly harsh state security laws which are used to repress all kinds of groups & provide cover for attrocities.

It's hard to know exactly how many troops the NPA has left although most accurate predictions are in the low hundreds.

300 figure is likely correct for the Senderos, 2000 figure is definitely off for the turks, I'd guess they're just counting party cadre - public propaganda with armed people looks impressive but at similar numbers in the early 2010's the NPA was able to get a hell of a lot more armed people together in parade, despite being spread out over an archipelago and not being able to hide themselves in the clusterfuck that is the Syrian civil war.

Public statements from leadership of an ongoing struggle do not actually reflect the reality of a situation. A movement which is losing isn't just going to announce that it's losing, even if they've given up hope of winning the struggle. Public projection of strength creates public image of strength which gives negotiating power.

That's also the problem with the Gonzaloists. They take public statements from overseas or historical movements at total face value, ie interperting articles from Peking Review or statements from x guerilla groupPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The AFP do the opposite and constantly say the NPA are down to 300 troops, then announce later that over the last year they killed thousands of them. All the numbers coming out of that conflict are a meme.

>Also some of the rare footage of the the CPN fighting shows them in a fight and one guy has an INSAS and it jams immediately lol
There's a Simpsons bit where Lisa has a school pageant and has to go dressed up as Florida and they've done a horrible job on the costume so she cries "I'm not a state… I'm a monster!" That's the INSAS rifle for rifles. It's basically different parts of an AK-47 and an FN FAL combined into one and vastly inferior to both.

>Right now, the farm population in the imperialist countries has become quite small. In both the US and Norway where a few infantile Maoists are blabbering about carrying out a protracted people’s war, the farm population is around two per cent of the national population and consists of both monopoly farm capitalists and rich farmers, using a great deal of mechanization, unlike the traditional landlords of China exploiting a great mass of poor and middle peasants using primitive tools of agriculture.

>Let the infantile Maoists start armed struggle now in the countryside of the US or Norway. They will be wiped out in less than 30 minutes by SWAT teams of the local police. Until now, no group advocating protracted people’s war has started it in any imperialist country. Small conspiratorial armed groups with no wide mass base among the workers or in an oppressed national community can go far within an imperialist country, as soon as the shooting starts.

>Revolutionaries in imperialist countries can propagate the line in the Communist Manifesto, Civil War in France and in Lenin’s State and Revolution for the proletariat to establish its class dictatorship by overthrowing the bourgeois state. Towards that goal, the communists can develop a strong working class movement through effective ideological, political and organizational work attuned to the worsening crisis of the capitalist system and prepared to fight the desperate effort of the monopoly bourgeoisie to use fascism against the working class.

I bet they are some d1scord retards who believe they are "redpilling" people.
