/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

sounds like succdems begging for imperialist scraps. how exactly are you supposed to defend social gains when conditions change if you dont have some sort of industrial developmentalist policy? where are the resources going to come from?

Some Third Worldist westerners genuinely do not even believe that class struggle exists in the so-called Global South. They straight up think that the sole primary contradiction in our societies is the pernicious influence of "The West", and that the job of communists in the third world isn't to agitate for the revolution of the working class, but to support local nationalist bourgeois forces if those forces have an anti-western character.
Beneath the facade of being so concerned for our exploitation and behind all this performance of western guilt that they put on, what is actually concealed is pure chauvinism: do not fight for your class interests, third world worker, fight so that I western third worldist can find fulfillment in seeing my government lose, because I surely will never carry out the fight against my government myself.

yeah the lack of a built in text outline in GIMP is annoying af but at least doing it manually with layers you have more control. You can do unique brush outlines, unique fill outlines, gradient outlines, multiple outlines, nested outlines etc, you just have to get creative

Meme made by someone who has never done anything hard in his life. If you had any clue how hard it is to climb Everest you wouldn't think about the miniscule amount of waste it causes in places no-one would ever see anyway if they weren't trying to climb it. There's a million places that are polluted and filled with junk by lazy wastes of space who don't think of anything but themselves, however climbing Everest takes years of training your body. I do agree there are a lot of rich scumbags who don't have the right to be climbing it endangering the locals as well as the search and rescue though. Thankfully a lot of those pieces of shit can be immortalized in rainbow valley for their hubris.

There are only four documents indicating the number of BT victims: Zubkin's certificate, Pavlov's certificate, Rudenko's letter, Pospelov's report.

All these documents bear traces of falsification, namely:

- Pavlov's certificate was signed by a non-existent official;

- Rudenko's letter (both copies) contains an error in Khrushchev's position and numerous traces of erasure, including in the figures given;

- Zubkin's reference and Pavlov's report contain an error in the dating of the beginning of the BT, characteristic of Nazi propaganda literature.

“But it’s Twitter…”

My brother in Christ, these are videos of the official vote count taken from the CNE of the number of votes received by Edmundo and Maduro. If there is something to deny, at least say it.

Twitter aside, you have nothing else to say against it? It's literally the official vote count, nothing more.

The simplified theory that makes sense to me is that class exists on a somewhat different level. Main thing, class conflict is not the only form of conflict that exists. Within the working class there can be splits of different kinds. Let's say in this example, transphobia, has various negative effects, like relegating trans people to dead-end, low-wage night shift jobs, which I've noticed is quite common. They're devalued to the point of becoming second-class workers, but devaluating workers on a basis of some particular characteristic is ultimately harmful to workers in general. I think some historians have said this about white workers in the American south for a long time. They were "privileged" in comparison to the black workers in the same state but they'd have been much better off if there wasn't so much racism that kept the black people as second-class citizens.

>other marginalisations exist compared to class, but not other "privileges". punishing deviation from a group is not the same thing as actively rewarding said group.
on a long enough timeline the absence of marginalization is the presence of privilege insofar as the absence of punishment is its own reward. There are so many potential forms of marginalization in a given society. To name just a few: sex, gender identity, sexuality, ethnicity, race, language, nationality, religion, height, weight, musculature, physical ability, mental ability, developmental speed. There are many others. Most people are at least "deviant" in one category and "normality" is simply a statistical mean that almost nobody meets perfectly but most people hover around at a small distance due to their standard deviation from the mean. The few who do manage to tick all the boxes, or at least maintain the appearance of doing so, will be rewarded by the absence of social marginalization that would cripple them further. When most of society is getting punished for standard deviation as well as nonstandard deviation it will always be a minority who experience the privilege of the absence of marginalization. This is made more compelling by the fact that many of these forms of deviation are nonvoluntary. One of the most obvious forms of non-voluntary marginalization: The patriarchal marginalization of cis women, has always happened to precisely half of society, meaning it is not even necessarily a "punishment for deviation" but just a marginalization in the absence of deviation. This marginalization is easy to maintain due to their vulnerability during pregnancy and child rearing and unpaid domestic labor, their statistical smaller size and musculature in addition making them statistically easier to physically coerce and commit violence against.

What makes class primary in Marxism isn't the (perhaps false) dichotomy of "privilege" (as reward) versus "marginalization" (as punishment for deviation) but the fact that class transcends these other marginalizations. Marginalized groups can find themselves in any class. Class is part of the economic base. Marginalization is part of the cultural superstructure. Base and superstructure are the precise terminology we use. The "wish-washy" liberal concepts that fail to produce a coherent analysis are analyses based in privilege and margiPost too long.

One more caveat: I say "privilege of the absence of marginalization" only to the extent that such an absence of marginalization confers a head start in a competitive society.

It is anti-intellectual to take an established area of philosophy and claim its all worthless bullshit and delusional fantasies while being unable to provide a good argument for why anyone should think that. And if your a part of a movement that upholds atheism as a creed then yeah I'd say the existence and non-existence of a higher power is important.

>us as leftist should not care if God exists or not, God may even exist but it dosent change the material reality of the world
Political and legal concepts are often secularized theological concepts. You can't understand most theories of sovereignty without reference to theology. Even atheist leftism has a repressed theological core. Even if your agnostic on the philosophical question of God's existence, you can't understand the Western worldview without understanding religious movements like Christianity, Gnosticism or Platonism.

Go read Engels. Marx and Engels believed they'd transcended philosophy through science and they were positivists in their approach. Both Marx and Engels saw religion and philosophy as failed attempts to understand the world that were pre-scientific and conditioned by the relations of production. Religion evolved into philosophy which destroyed religion and philosophy evolved into science. Scientific socialism was meant to transcend philosophical socialism and replace it with allegedly objective and scientific worldview. Prior to Marx, most communists were religious. What Marx did was kill the speculative element of socialism.

This is really what I mean by anti-intellectualism. Religion is obviously wrong and a waste of time but why? Because it just is. Discussing it is masturbation. This is an anti-intellectual position and about as bad as saying literature or math are just masturbation and talking about them is a waste of time.

Leftism is like medieval scholasticism. To enter the club you have to agree with materialist epistemology and metaphysics, positivist approaches to science, and Kantian ethics, and classical economics.
